The Colors Of Indian Cooking: Tired Of The Same Old Spuds? Creamy, Spicy, Potatoes Indian Style.
Summer is here in Sonoma in full force. We had a series of super hot days (fortunately, with cool nights) good for the grapes. It's also been good for everything else we're growing around here. This has been a busy year so far. Working on a new film script, introducing the first phase of The Chaunk line of Indian spices and grilling rubs, and helping work on the menu for the new CocoaPlanet Chocolate Factory and Tasting Room that' s going to be opening here in Sonoma very soon.
PS: The menu is entirely gluten free, as the entire facility will be totally gluten free! See this Cherry Almond Tart? Totally gluten free and less than 1/4 cup of organic sugar in the whole shebang!
And these vegan deep dark truffle pots de creme topped with gluten-free edible dirt and edible flowers?
Yeah, that's what we're talking about!
Anyway, man does not live by dessert alone (or so I've been told) and every now and then you've gotta throw some vegetables into the mix, which brings me to the latest product from our garden: organic Yukon Gold potatoes. Potatoes are one of the easiest things to grow...since all one needs are seed potatoes. You know, those potatoes that are kind of old and have eyes popping out all over??? Plant them. Cut them up first into halves or quarters, just so long as each one has an eye or two to start sprouting and BIngo! In aboout 60 days or so, you've got potatoes.
Fortunately, we had a long rainy winter up here in Wine Country this year and so I had to wait for the rains to taper down before planting my potatoes...but once we had a dry spell into the ground they went. I harvest the first bunch last week.
I combined them with some of our Anaheim chilies and of course a few tomatoes.
Halve and boil the potatoes until they are fork tender, about 15 minutes or so.
Rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process and set them aside.
Meanwhile, slice the Anaheim chilies into rings.
Peel the cooled potatoes. The skin should slip off easily.
Chop the onion finely and set aside.
When the seeds start to sizzle, add in the chopped onion.
Saute everything together, until the peppers are softened but still a bit al dente.
...and the yogurt mixed with sugar.
Stir everything around on a low heat. You don't want the yogurt to curdle.
Add in the potatoes, and salt to taste.
Stir everything around to blend it well.
When everything is cooked and the potatoes have warmed through and are well covered with the yogurt, take it off the stove and enjoy!
Creamy, spicy and a tiny bit sweet, this is a great vegetarian accompaniment to any meal. I think it would also work chilled for a cookout.. however, it didn't last long enough for me to try it out that way. The great thing about this dish is it makes up pretty dang fast. Boil your potatoes ahead of time to really get a jump on things. This potato dish is definitely in my meal rotation.
Absolutely fabulous, kg!! An 11 0n the 1-10 scale. Got to get out to see you and time it for the opening of the CocoaPlanet Chocolate Factory & Tasting Room! Very best wishes.
Thanks! Give me a holler if you get out here!

On Consumerism, Sex, Advertising, and Human Nature
"The Ferrari is exactly the same in the human context," says evolutionary psychologistGad Saad, "as the peacock's tail is on the peacock."
Saad is an evolutionary behavioral scientist at Concordia University and author of the book The Consuming Instinct: What Juicy Burgers, Ferraris, Pornography, and Gift Giving Reveal about Human Nature, in which he argues that most consumer behavior can be explained by evolutionary psychology. Watch his interview,
Reason.tv's Zach Weissmueller sat down with Saad to discuss why most Ferrari owners are men, whether or not advertising executives manipulate our minds, the strong political opposition to the evolutionary sciences from across the spectrum, and the evolutionary significance of Sir Mix-a-lot's "Baby Got Back."

The Drug War in Guatemala: A Conversation with Giancarlo Ibarguen
"I blame the war on drugs in the United States for what is happening here in Guatemala."
Giancarlo Ibarguen
Most of the cocaine shipped north from Central and South America these days travels through Guatemala and into Mexico before eventually crossing the border to the United States. The value of that cocaine, even before it enters the US market, is approximately $40 billion a year. That's nearly the size of Guatemala's entire economy.
The drug cartels in Guatemala act with impunity and effectively control much of the country. As Guatemala's President Alvaro Colom recently told Al Jazeera, "The drug traffickers are much better armed and financed than our military and our government." Guatemala, as a result, has become a very dangerous place to live.
What's the solution? According to Giancarlo Ibarguen, president of the Universidad Francisco Marroquin, the US government should end its war on drugs.
Approximately 5 minutes.

There aren't enough food, service, value or atmosphere ratings for Anskhita Veg, India yet. Be one of the first to write a review!
We had lunch at Ankshita several times. The ambiance is fine. The service is good. The food is reasonable.Menu has many options. Many south Indian snacks and dosas.
Had heard that the place serves brilliant dosas. So we ordered a Cheese Masala Dosa each. May be it's just, but we thought it's a little overrated.
The variety and quality of food one can experience at this restaurant is just great and every Mumbaikar must visit this place atleast once.
As this restaurant was very good and near our hotel, we became regulars during your stay in Mumbai. We tried quite a few dishes and all of them were outstanding. And the price was almost ridiculous !
I ordered for North Indian but was disappointed with the taste, the dish was very spicy, oily and not upto the taste. However their South Indian snacks were okay.
good punjabi food in fort area.....office goers and local guju crowd flock there for eating....value for money.... Partly aircondition..

Hi, I'm Anne E., and I'm the Mission Editor at Post Launch.
Right now, we're going to talk about the Rodney Dangerfield Effect and how you can use it in your SEO (in Las Vegas) or in your overall web presence marketing.
First, who the heck is Rodney Dangerfield?
Rodney Dangerfield was a popular comedian in the 70s for his infamous catchphrase, "I don't get no respect." Wow. That was an awful impression.
What is the Rodney Dangerfield effect?
Rodney Dangerfield had some excellent catchphrases. The idea, however, is how memorable his lines were. Its effect is that it sticks with you.
What does this mean for your digital or web presence marketing?
Why do people like fast food? Because it's delicious. And because it's fast and convenient.
Another aspect to this "effect" is it's shock or unique value. If it's clever, easy to consume, and convenient to share, your message will go further.
Coming up with a clever social media or digital marketing campaign chock full of clever one liners that stick isn't easy for business man or woman. That's why we're here. We love this stuff. We're super nerds about this stuff.
Give us a call at 702-800-9571 or visit us online at postlaunch.co to fill out a contact form. If you're not ready to commit, we understand. You can tune in it to our webcast every Friday at 11 a.m. pacific time for FREE web presence marketing advice.
Thanks for watching. I'm Anne E. (that's two e's and no i's) and we'll see you next time.


Rodell's Barn is a romantic and contemporary barn with a king size bed and large picture windows to be able to enjoy the lovely views up to The Black Mountains. Close to the attractive "town of books" Hay-on-Wye and over looked by it's ancient castle. From the barn footpaths lead from the door straight on to the hills or an easy drive into Hay for a relaxing day browsing the shops and sampling the many cafes and pubs - or for something more strenuous hiring a canoe on the River Wye, or perhaps a Vespa Scooter from River Cafe and Wye Valley Canoes in Glasbury. Drovers Cycles have a great selection of Mountain Bikes to be able to explore the surrounding area.
An open plan kitchen/living room with beautiful flagstone floor, a newly installed kitchen with electric oven and hob, fridge, small freezer, dishwasher and microwave. The utility cupboard under the stairs houses a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is plenty of room with comfortable sofas and a wood burner, TV with Freeview & DVD.
Double glass doors lead out to a sunny patio area with garden furniture and a BBQ.
Bedroom: A spacious and luxurious Super King Size bedroom with full length windows that can be opened up allowing guests to fully enjoy the views over the Black Mountains.
The bathroom: has a bath with shower over, hand basin and toilet.

E.W. Jackson: Parents Who Take Kids to Drag Queen Story Hour Should Lose Custody December 19, 2020 Beth Stoneburner
E.W. Jackson: Parents Who Take Kids to Drag Queen Story Hour Should Lose Custody
By Beth Stoneburner
We know that conservatives aren't fans of Drag Queen Story Hour at libraries. But right-wing radio host and former candidate for Lt. Governor of Virginia E.W. Jackson took that even further, saying during a recent livestream that parents who take their kids to those events should lose custody.
He also compared the events to pedophilia, proving he doesn't know what that word means or what happens during story hours.
"This is child abuse to take these children to be entertained by these perverse individuals whose lives are a moral sewer," Jackson fumed. "You want to live that way, it's a free country, live that way. If adults want to be a part of such gross, disgusting entertainment, you have a right to do that. But child abuse is what I would call taking children to see one of these freaks go through a whole lot of sexual garbage trying to instill this mess in the minds of toddlers and kindergartners."
"And the stupid parents who take their children into this mess need to be dope slapped. They need to have their children taken away from them," Jackson said. "Do you think toddlers and kindergartners are [asking] to go to Drag Queen Story Hour? Taking your children to church is not abuse. It's what God commands us to do. But taking your children to Drag Queen Story Hour is abuse of a magnitude that is hard to overstate. As far as I'm concerned, it's the equivalent of pedophilia, and it should be treated the same way."
No one who defends Donald Trump has any business complaining about a supposed "moral sewer."
Mind you, the "disgusting entertainment" in question here is… reading to kids. These are children's books, not excerpts from Penthouse. While conservatives act like what drag queens do at an adults-only show is identical to what they do in libraries, that's just not the case.
What's shocking about Jackson's statement isn't so much that he hates drag queens — we already knew that — but that he thinks ripping kids away from parents who take them to these events is a worthwhile punishment. Jackson has said nothing about parents who took their kids to COVID super-spreader events, much less condemned the separation of families at the border. Nor has he complained about parents taking kids to Trump rallies, even though they'll hear far more vileness and "disgusting entertainment" there than they would at a library. It's also not "pro-life" to further burden the foster care system when no actual abuse is taking place, but Jackson isn't know for his stellar logic.

This name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and is a geographical surname from any one of the different places called "Northey," which are a combination of the Olde English pre 7th Century word "north," which means North and different additions. The places in Essex, Devonshire and Hertfordshire are named with "north" and "(ge)haeg", which means an area, those in Sussex and Hampshire with "north and "e.g.,", which means "island", Northey in Whittlesey in Cambridgeshire is "north river" from "North" and "ea", and Northey Wood in Cambridgeshire and Northey in Turvey, Bedfordshire are "the north bridge", from "North" and "hoh", which means hill, rock. In some situation, "Northey" may be a geographical name, expressing an apartment by or at the north hill or building of a place, as in Roger de la Northawe de Ledes (1439, Yorkshire). William Northey and Johanna South married in London in 1529.

The surname Northey first appeared in Sussex Where they held a family seat from old times and their first records found on the census rolls derived by the old Kings of Britain to manage the rate of taxation of their services.
The very first recorded spelling of the family was shown to be that of Thomas de Northie, dated about 1200, in the "Pipe Rolls of Kent." It was during the time of King John who was known to be the "Lackland," dated 1199-1216. The origin of surnames during this period became a necessity with the introduction of personal taxation. It came to be known as Poll Tax in England.
Many of the people with surname Northey had moved to Ireland during the 17th century.
Individuals with the surname Northey landed in the United States in three different centuries respectively in the 18th, 19th, and 20th.

Elijah Northey, who arrived in Philadelphia in 1848. Josiah Northey and William Northey, both arrived in Allegany (Allegheny) Division, Pennsylvania in the same year 1868.
The following century saw more Northey surnames arrive. Some of the people with the name Northey who arrived in the United States in the 20th century included Emily Northey, who landed in America from Devon, in 1903. Henry Northey, who landed in America from Liverpool, in 1905. Charles Richard Northey, who shifted to America from Truro, England, in 1910.

The four main devices (symbols) in the Northey blazon are the panther, rose, pansey and lily. The three main tinctures (colors) are azure, argent and or .
Natural objects abound in heraldry, and one category that gives especial delight are the many flowers and flowering plants that frequently occur 12A Complete Guide to Heraldry, A.C. Fox-Davies, Bonanza (re-print of 1909 Edition), New York, 1978, P262. Whilst the fleur-de-lys, the French "Flower of the Lily" may have become stylised almost beyond recognition 13A Glossary of Terms used in British Heraldry, J.H. Parker, Oxford, 1847, P141, it still sometimes appears in a more pictorial form as the "lily of the garden". The pansey is also of this type, being drawn, at least a little, realistically and often to very pleasing effect.

Houston Shares its Rodeo Experience via Telestream Lightspeed Live Stream
Houston's famous rodeo competitions and performances were captured with broadcast video equipment and streamed live in HDTV quality via Telestream Lightspeed Live Stream encoders.
Founded in 1932, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR) is the largest livestock exhibition and rodeo in the world, an annual 20-day event that draws over 2.4 million spectators to Houston's NRG Park complex, with thousands more watching via live streams. The 90th anniversary event was held through most of March 2022, featuring livestock and horse shows during the day, followed by spectacular rodeo competitions in the evening and culminating with nightly music concerts by top-level artists.
HLSR's team captured the competitions, performances and proceedings with broadcast video equipment, and streamed out the live programming in HDTV quality from three Telestream dual-channel Lightspeed Live Stream encoding systems. The live streaming was made freely available from the organisation's website, rodeohouston.com.
Rodeo Show Production
Video crews worked with a fleet of 20-plus Sony HDC-2750 and HDC-1550 broadcast cameras, shooting concurrent events taking place throughout NRG Park. The video is fed to HLSR's two on-site production control rooms, each equipped with a Grass Valley 3-M/E production switcher and a Ross Xpression live graphics generator, where the multi-camera shows are switched and enhanced with sponsor logos, CG text and other graphical content as overlays. The video signals for these program feeds flow through the house routers to the Lightspeed Live Stream units in a nearby machine room.
HLSR also delivers a live program feed of the livestock show and rodeo events to three broadcast outlets, including The Cowboy Channel, Bally Sports Regional Sports Networks and the local Telemundo affiliate, which receives a Spanish language broadcast with Spanish speaking announcers.
The Lightspeed Live Stream systems are used to control the video encoding and quality of the live streams. They were purchased in early 2022 through TM Television in Dallas to replace the Show's legacy system that was no longer supported by its manufacturer. As dual-channel systems, each of the three encoders can encode and stream two separate live feeds simultaneously, yielding a total of six channels.
This ability is especially useful for a large-scale entertainment events like the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, which features a number of concurrent events. By dedicating two of the encoders to streaming four live HD programs to the HLSR website, viewers accessing the Show can choose any of those four live streams to watch their preferred events.
Stream Packaging and Encoding
Regarding stream quality, Gary Hazen, HLSR's Senior Production Manager said, "We generate four discreet RTMP streams that are sent to Microsoft Azure for distribution. The camera input sources are HD-SDI video at 1920 x 1080i at 59.94 fps, 1080/60i, and we configure the streaming packages at 1280 x 720 and 30 fps, 720/p30."
In terms of the encoding, the video is AVC 2,000 kbps, while audio is AAC at 128 kbps. The processing load is handled and optimised by the Lightspeed server's GPUs. All processing and encoding configuration is done through Live Stream's web-based GUI. While the daytime streaming audience is relatively small, the audience size surges and the type of viewer changes once the rodeo events begin. Meanwhile, the production standard delivered in primetime is maintained throughout the day on all four streaming channels.
Texas Youth and Education
An important aspect of the Show is its commitment to Texas youth and education through scholarships and educational program grants, which were initiated in the early 1950s and now exceed $22 million per year.
"As well as promoting agriculture and preserving Western heritage, supporting Texas youth and education is a mission of ours. A part of that is making sure that everyone interested in our event can watch it live for free," said James Davidson, Director of Broadcast and Audio/Visual. "To the kids who've spent a year raising animals, this is a big deal. Their parents, grandparents, teachers and friends all want to share that moment with them, and streaming is how we make it happen.
The ability to scale the servers factored significantly into the buying decision. "The quality and reliability of the streaming matter greatly because they reflect on the show and the organisation as a whole," James said. "Even though our online audiences tend to fluctuate and can be quite small, we use broadcast-quality cameras, switchers, routers and highly efficient encoders so that our content looks as good on screen as it does here in person." www.telestream.net

Digital Technology Supercluster launches health and well-being project
By Elly Yates-Roberts on 20 August 2021
Canada-based Digital Technology Supercluster has joined forces with lululemon, Wysdom.AI, Queen's University, Microsoft and Mitacs to launch Wellbeing.ai, a project focused on developing a new approach for personalised health and well-being.
The $20 million project will develop a digital well-being platform to help people understand their physical health and mental fitness through interactions with virtual agents.
"As we move out of the pandemic, it's more important than ever to put the well-being of Canadians front and centre," said Judith Law, CEO of Anxiety Canada. "It's incredibly encouraging to see such a significant investment and collaboration dedicated to providing Canadians with the resources and support they need to effectively manage their increasing stress and anxiety."
Activewear brand lululemon will provide the data, tools and resources to reach the project's goal of providing 10 million people with access to well-being tools by 2025.
"We are excited to participate in this innovative partnership with the federal government, the Supercluster, and our other project partners to develop tools and resources that can democratise well-being and make it available to more people," said Calvin McDonald, CEO of lululemon. "Our Futures Innovation team will work side-by-side with our partners to develop and refine how companies like ours can best serve our guests and the communities we serve through dynamic and empathetic virtual wellbeing tools."
Microsoft's role in the project is to develop a responsible artificial intelligence ethical framework that considers equity, diversity and inclusion. The project will include recommendations from Microsoft's its ethics advisors to ensure gender and diversity benefits are realised by Wellbeing.ai users.

From 2012 Automotive Simulation World Congress: Limiting the amount of contaminated water in a car's engine bay can reduce maintenance costs. R&D teams must accurately predict the direction and amount of water splashed by a tire in a wheel house. Volvo analyzed an isolated tire with water splash, identifying the splashing mechanism and its effects. The study incorporated multiphase flows through a volume of fluid model, and for turbulence through different Reynolds averaged Navier−Stokes models and a large-eddy simulation approach.


Due to its regional political significance, Egypt is an important partner for Germany in the field of international cooperation. Since 1956, GIZ has been implementing projects in all parts of the country on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). GIZ also works on behalf of other German public sector clients and international organisations. In the country's current situation, vocational training and the networking of managers and expert personnel have a particularly important role to play. Currently 267 national and 44 international employees, 3 integrated specialists and 6 development workers are working in the country (as of 31.12.2018).
Egypt faces numerous challenges, including rapid population growth, high population density, dwindling natural resources, an increasing demand for energy, rising unemployment, especially among young people, inadequate educational opportunities, discrimination against women, and the weakening of the economy.
Sustainable economic development for employment.
Other programmes focus on support for women and families, decentralisation, and urban development. Among these, the Participatory Development Programme in Urban Areas receives much of its funding from the European Union.


St Kitts (officially known as St Christopher) lies in the northern part of the Leeward Islands in the eastern Caribbean. Commercialisation has not yet taken over and travellers will enjoy the easygoing, quiet way of life of the local people which remains almost unspoiled. The exotically beautiful island of St. Kitts seems to embody a kind of lush tropical paradise usually associated with the South Pacific. The atmosphere here is palpably luxuriant. It is an intoxicating blend of sunlight, sea, air and fantastically abundant vegetation. At the centre of St. Kitts stands the spectacular, cloud-fringed peak of Mount Liamuiga (pronounced Lee-a-mweega), a dormant volcano covered by a dense tropical forest.

We Have Just Experienced a Cyber Attack, What Do We Need to Do Now?
Have you just experienced a ransomware attack or other cybersecurity incident, you may be wondering what to do next? Fortunately, the HHS, Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has provided a quick response checklist that explains step by step what a HIPAA covered entity or its business associate should do in response to an incident.
In the event of a cyber-attack or similar emergency an entity should:
Execute Response and Contingency Plans- An entity should execute its response and contingency plans. They should immediately fix any technical issues to stop the incident. The entity should take every step necessary to mitigate the disclosure of protected health information.
Report the Crime to Law Enforcement- An entity should report the crime to law enforcement agencies, including state or local law enforcement, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and/or the Secret Service. If a law enforcement official informs the entity that the report would impede a criminal investigation or harm national security, the entity must delay reporting a breach for the time the law enforcement official requests in writing, or for 30 days, if the request is made orally.
Report cyber- threat indicators to federal and information-sharing and analysis organizations (ISAOs)- including the Department of Homeland Security, the HHS Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, and private-sector cyber-threat ISAOs.
Report the breach to OCR – An entity should report the violation to OCR as soon as possible, and no later than 60 days after the discovery of a breach affecting 500 or more individuals. An entity must also notify those affected and the media unless a law enforcement official has requested a delay in the reporting. An entity that discovers a breach affecting fewer than 500 individuals must notify the individuals without unreasonable delay, no later than 60 days after discovery. They must also inform OCR within 60 days after the end of the calendar year in which the breach was discovered.

In the world of Apple Macintosh desktop computers there two different choices. Either you get an all-in-one desktop like Apple's iMac series of PCs or you go for a component system, in which case you either go for an Apple Mac mini or an Apple Mac Pro. Both machines are component systems in that regardless of the configuration, you are only purchasing the CPU without a monitor, keyboard, mouse or any type of media storage device or reader save for whatever comes with the unit configuration you've purchased from Apple. This enables a more customized user experience, but if you want to use Apple's peripherals to interact with your Mac PC, you will have to purchase the components separately and that will add to the overall cost of creating a useable system. This should be considered before making a purchase. An iMac may be a better match, but for those who are not power users or those that need the might of a Mac Pro, which costs well into the thousands of dollars, then the component setup is the way to go. Yet if you are not buying a Mac Pro then the alternative is the eponymous Apple Mac mini. People have found various uses for these machines and the Mac mini remains the cheapest way to enter the worlds of OSX with the baseline model starting at approximately $599.
Available in several configurations directly from Apple or at a local Apple Store as well as authorized resellers, the entry level Mac mini features a 2.5GHz dual core Intel Core I5 processor with 3MB L3 cache (Turbo Boost up to 3.1 GHz). The Mac mini also can be ordered with an Intel Core I7 processor too. There is 4GB of 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM included that is expandable up to 16GB . A 500 GB 5400-rpm Hard Drive is pre-installed, but users can swap out the hard drive for Apples's Fusion Drive, which combines a SSD with a traditional Hard Drive that is supposed to boost the speed of boot times and data recovery. The server Mac mini option has two 1 terabyte hard drives inside. There is also an Intel HD Graphics 4000 card with HDMI and Thunderbolt output options. Within the box comes a small HDMI to DVI adapter included. The Thunderbolt port supports high-speed I/O and mini Display Port devices with data, including picture and sound traveling from the Mac mini to the user's chosen display. The Thunderbolt port, HDMI port and power adapter are found on the back on the Mac mini with the power supply built into the unit itself so there is no unwieldy power brick to deal with when setting up the Mac Mini. Also found in the back of the unit are an SDXC card slot, FireWire 800 port and four USB 3.0 ports. A 10/100/100BASE-T Ethernet port is also found at the rear of the unit as well as 802.11n WI-FI and Bluetooth 4.0 is supported. Combined optical digital audio output/headphone out as well as combined optical digital audio input/audio line are found behind the Mac mini too. There is also an internal built-in speaker as well as vent for cooling the computer that are at the bottom of the rear grid of ports. You can have the sound come through personal speakers plugged into the Mac mini directly or routed through to the display via Thunderbolt or HDMI connection.
Apple's OSX.9.4 Mavericks comes preinstalled with this model with a free upgrade coming from Apple later this year to OSX.10.10 Yosemite in 2014. Compatible with iCloud and the iOS counterparts, Apple has included at no extra charge both the iLife and iWork suites of programs with iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand as well as Pages, Numbers and Keynote so one can immediate use the Mac mini out of the box in productive ways.
Bluetooth keyboard pairs easily with the Mac mini and is small yet comfortable to use with it's responsive chicklet styled keyboard. There is no optical drive included with the Mac mini, but Apple's USB SuperDrive connects effortlessly with the Mac mini and provides optical disc support within the traditional silver aluminum body that customers of Apple products have come to expect and the USB SuperDrive, Magic Mouse and Wireless Keyboard all carry the same visual style aesthetic and look beautiful together as well as work harmoniously with the Mac mini too.
The Mac mini has the classic silver aluminum body with rounded edges and in keeping with Apple's minimalist style, features only an IR sensor and an LED indicator light in front, the Apple logo in black branded on top and the removable black twist off Mac mini branded lid at the bottom that allows easy access to the internal parts of the computer. Now while you can use this Mac as a media center PC by plugging it directly into the HDMI port of your HDTV, you can also use it with Apple's 27 inch Thunderbolt Display, which like all the peripherals in this review is sold separately.
Combining the Thunderbolt Display with any Mac PC can create an awesome and powerful if not visually impressive computer setup. The Thunderbolt Display is the successor to the Apple Cinema Display and can be used as a primary monitor for a Mac mini or Mac Pro, a second screen experience with an iMac though it should be noted that the Thunderbolt Display while appearing externally to be very similar to an iMac all-in-one, is actually a bit taller and it must be emphasized that the Thunderbolt Display is not a computer like an iMac all-in-one, it is a component for a Macintosh computer system. It is also a docking station intended for Apple's MacBook Air and Pro laptops that comes a MagSafe Connector and an adapter for charging your MacBook while also using it depending on the compatible accessories used as an extension or second or expanded screen experience or as a dock even with the MacBook closed provided once again that the user already has the necessary add ons sold separately paired or connected to the unit. The cable that comes connected the Thunderbolt Display also acts as a Thunderbolt cable connector, which when plugged into the Mac mini yields a resolution of up to 2560 by 1440 pixels with a full 27 inch viewable screen size accented by a glossy black bezel with in the Apple logo branded in white at the bottom center of the screen. The display also auto adjusts to give the best picture that is easy on the eyes with an ambient light sensor. There is also a 720p FaceTime HD front facing camera on the top center of the display and a builtin mic too. The same aluminum body and silver coloring is used here along with a large black Apple logo branded in the back as well and the Thunderbolt Display can tilt or pivot up and down and has a hole at the neck of the stand, which comes out of the box pre-connected to the monitor for wire management. The bottom of the Thunderbolt Display has 2.1 down firing stereo speakers with a built in subwoofer. The power supply is also incorporated into the monitor itself. Besides the power input and the pre-connected MagSafe and Thunderbolt cable, there is a Kensington security lock loop, a Gigabit Ethernet port, a Thunderbolt port, a FireWire 800 port and three USB 2.0 ports that expands the options to one's Mac mini, Mac Pro, or MacBook Air and Pro too. You can also use the monitor to charge your iOS devices, including the iPad. Once connected to the Mac mini, the Thunderbolt Displays powers on and off and falls under the general control of the Mac mini as one system.
The Thunderbolt displays sells for approximately $1000 dollars or a bit less depending on where one purchases the monitor, which is why consumers out to buy a Mac desktop may want to go with an iMac instead, but if you are interested in a component Mac system or already own a Mac mini, Mac Pro. MacBook Air or MacBook Pro and want a fantastic Apple display, the 27 inch Apple Thunderbolt Display is well worth considering.

Els seeks 'look in the eye' for Woods' singles opponent
By Will Gray
Ernie Els knows what it takes to face Tiger Woods in a Presidents Cup singles match, and he knows what he's looking for in deciding Woods' potential opponent next week at Royal Melbourne.
Els and Woods squared off in one of the most memorable duels in Presidents Cup history when they faced off in singles play in 2003 and then went head-to-head again in a cup-deciding overtime match that ultimately ended in a draw. Now they're each captains for the biennial matches that will resume next week in Australia, with one big difference - only Woods will also try his hand as a playing captain.
After choosing himself with a pick, Woods is required to play in a minimum of two matches including a singles match on the final day. Els is playing this week in the Australian Open along with six International Team members, and he told PGATour.com that he'll assess some intangible factors when weighing which players might be best-suited to go up against the reigning Masters champ.
"I'll analyze how the guys are playing and see who's really got the look in the eye," Els said. "There are a lot of guys who have put their hands up to want to play Tiger ... but I will not put a guy in there that's going to feel overwhelmed."
How to watch the Presidents Cup on TV and online
BY Golf Channel Digital — December 11, 2019 at 5:30 PM
The 13th Presidents Cup takes place Dec. 12-15 in Melbourne, Australia. Here's how you can watch on TV and online.
Els' team will include seven rookies, and only four of his players have ever participated in a Presidents Cup that featured Woods as a player. None have ever played him in singles. Woods' most recent singles opponent was South Africa's Richard Sterne at the 2013 matches at Muirfield Village, while he hasn't lost in Presidents Cup singles match since facing Mike Weir in 2007.
While Ryder Cup captains submit their entire singles' lineup without knowing who will play for the other side, Presidents Cup singles' matches are set pick by pick meaning that the captains can have a say in who faces certain opponents.
One year after Jon Rahm beat Woods in singles' play at the Ryder Cup, Els explained that he won't be afraid to put a fresh face next to Woods' name as he looks to help the Internationals to just their second win in the 25-year history of the event.
"The youngsters look up at him, but they definitely want to have a piece of him," Els said. "So, we'll see who I think can really play against Tiger the best and get the best result."

Tiger Woods didn't play either session on Day 3 of the Presidents Cup. Vice captain Fred Couples says, it's because he couldn't.
Two teams, one owner: Prez Cup about more than world rankings, experience
BY Doug Ferguson — December 17, 2019
Ernie Els has finished second to Tiger Woods more than any other player, and he never looked more spectacular doing it than as captain in the Presidents Cup. Was it really a surprise?

MAS–macrophage activation syndrome–is a rare, acute, inflammatory condition that is difficult to diagnose and treat, especially in someone who has SLE. Macrophages are important actors in the immune defense response; they are soldiers sent into battle when the body is under attack by microorganisms. A macrophage surrounds and consumes the invading enemy. Sometimes, however, the army of macrophages becomes hyperstimulated; the soldiers lose their sense of purpose and start directing their energy toward healthy cells. As macrophages consume healthy cells, bone marrow and organs throughout the body are eventually affected. The situation rapidly may become urgent.
MAS is largely a medical mystery, but a few facts have emerged in recent years to help doctors sort out this confounding and dangerous syndrome. Children are more often affected than adults. In children, the syndrome appears to be most common in those who have juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). When it strikes adults, the disease is seen most often in patients with SLE. According to one researcher, 60% of all MAS cases in adults occur in people with systemic lupus. However, even this estimation may be low, because symptoms of the syndrome are so difficult to distinguish from underlying SLE symptoms that the disorder might be mistaken for a lupus flare and thus overlooked.
It has been suggested that one of the triggers for the syndrome may be a chronic or prior infection, particularly in the case of Guillain-Barre or CMV. This is especially true when MAS occurs in a child with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It seems that the repeated activation of macrophages by the presence of foreign bodies (the viral or bacterial agent) triggers an aberrant immune response, which sends the incensed soldiers on a rampage.
As the condition progresses, acute multi-organ inflammation may occur. A sample of bone marrow might show active phagocytosis (literally, eating) of blood cells. Fever, diffuse hemorrhaging, mental disturbance–all, and more, may be manifestations of MAS. Some lab tests, besides phagocytosis of blood cells in the bone marrow (which does not always come up positive) can suggest MAS. These indications, taken together, may present a picture that is suggestive of the condition. The indications include declining ESR and platelet counts, and a rise in serum-dimer and ferritin.
Treatment of MAS has been the subject of many studies, but to date no absolute protocol has been established. One clinician reports that treatment with Rituximab was successful in turning around a critical case in a patient with underlying SLE. In a September 2013 letter to the Journal Lupus the following course of treatment is described: The patient was a 45-year-old male with SLE. At first it seemed the issue was infection, with the possibility of an underlying lupus flare. These two conditions were appropriately treated but the response was not good. The patient was then treated with a course of anti-viral and anti-fungal medication, but his condition continued to decline. Finally, the diagnosis of MAS was tentatively arrived at after the results of a bone marrow sample and other lab tests came in. Rituximab was administered; the patient responded well and eventually recovered. This therapy was followed up with mycophenolate as maintenance therapy.
A 2012 Medscape article weighs the choices a clinician has when treating MAS. It is clear from the Medscape discussion that unanimity on a treatment protocol for this condition does not exist. Corticosteroids, cyclosporine and anakinra are among the most frequently used medications. There are others mentioned in the article; each apparently has shown success in some instances and in other instances has not. What seems to be important for having a successful outcome in MAS–besides luck–is careful monitoring and rapid adjustment of treatment to accommodate a fluid clinical situation.
MAS is a medical mystery. Its association with prior or chronic infection may explain some cases. Some cases, particularly in the very young, may be genetic in origin. But most cases arise without warning and the specific trigger may never be known. MAS has similarities to other acute inflammatory conditions, and yet it is distinct. MAS belongs to a large class of immunological disorders that defy understanding and demand further research.
Increasingly, it is becoming clear that advances in the field of immunology will be key to addressing an array of medical conditions, including autoimmune diseases, cancers and acute inflammatory states. MAS is just a tiny piece in an enormously complex puzzle, but understanding this acute phenomenon and developing a treatment for it will aid in the management of a host of other diseases.

Home Air Power Combat Aircraft Lightning Reflexes
Lightning Reflexes
Enhancements to the F-35's electronic warfare systems will focus on software, firmware and hardware should be completed by 2024.
The contract won in August by BAE Systems to take the Lockheed Martin F-35A/B/C Lightning-II combat aircraft's AN/ASQ-239 self-protection system to the Block-IV configuration will see a host of improvements added to this apparatus. The AN/ASQ-239 has evolved through several incarnations since BAE Systems commenced its supply of the ensemble in 2005. A number of details regarding the AN/ASQ-239's architecture exist in the public domain. It is known to contain a radar warning receiver, an electronic support measure to identify and locate hostile emitters, and high gain electronic countermeasures for jamming. The AN/ASQ-239 is said to be capable of both pre-emptive and reactive electronic attack, using both expendables such as chaff, and pre-loaded jamming algorithms to counter specific RF (Radio Frequency) threats. One useful feature is that the equipment can correlate the location of emitters with the aircraft's Northrop Grumman AN/APG-81 X-band (8.5 gighaertz/GHz to 10.68GHz) fire control radar and Lockheed Martin AN/AAQ-30 optronics system enabling a positive identification of the emitter. Likewise, emitter threat information can be share between F-35s, and other aircraft, using the jet's Northrop Grumman AN/ASQ-242 Communications, Navigation and Identification system. This carries the Tactical Datalinks (TDL) necessary for the aircraft to share such information, notably the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation's Link-16 (960 megahertz to 1.215GHz) TDL protocol.
This diagram indicates the placement and capabilities of some of the F-35's self-protection systems. These are now being enhanced by BAE Systems' Block-IV upgrade.
The aircraft has radar warning receivers on the leading edge of its wings covering frequencies of bands 2, 3 and 4. Two band-3/4 RWRs are positioned close to the wingtips on the aft wing trailing edges and on the aft horizontal stabilisers, with additional RWRs covering band 2 either side of the aircraft's exhaust. These provide the aircraft with full 360 degree coverage. Although the aircraft is presently configured to detect RF emissions in bands 2, 3 and 4, there is growth potential for this to encompass band-5 threats in the future. Although no details appear to have been publicly released it is thought that the AN/ASQ-239 can detect hostile radars transmitting in a two gigahertz to 20GHz waveband. Enhancements to the AN/ASQ-239 are being performed via a series of block enhancements which confer increasing levels of capability onto the self-protection system.
Todd Caruso, BAE Systems' director of business development for F-35 solutions, told Armada Analysis that the Block-IV upgrades for the AN/ASQ-239 will mainly focus on "more complex algorithms" for the system's software alongside improvements to computational speed and power, and reductions in equipment weight, known in the trade as software, firmware and hardware improvements. The block upgrades are being added as part of the F-35's Continuous Capability, Development and Delivery (C2D2) cycle; a process by which enhancements are added to the aircraft as they mature.
Although BAE Systems commenced work on the Block-IV enhancements in 2016, this recent contract will see these improvements being conferred on the aircraft with the upgrades expected to conclude in 2024. Mr. Caruso added that Block-IV improvements for the AN/ASQ-239 will be retrofitted onto F-35s declared operational, with the capabilities being added to new jets as and when they are built. Block-4 will by no means be the final enhancement to the AN/ASQ-239. Mr. Caruso continues that "the F-35 will continue to modernize its mission systems throughout the lifecycle of the platform. As new capabilities are developed and additional requirements are added to the program, the C2D2 process will bring new capabilities to the jet."

The Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, Mr. Haruna Iddrisu has said that 20,000 Ghanaian youth are to be employed in the Youth in Health module under the Youth Employment Agency (YEA). This will help improve health delivery in the communities.
Mr. Haruna said this at the official outdooring of the Youth Employment modules in Accra.
He said that the Agency needed a legal framework to back its operations. Again, it had to identify funding sources for the implementation of the modules. Currently the Communication Service Tax, GetFund and District Assembly Common Fund are the main source of funding.
Mr. Haruna Iddrisu advised officers of the Agency to acquaint themselves with the Act that established the Agency, in order to guide them in the recruitment exercise.
He stressed that the recruitment exercise should be non-partisan and the Agency should engage the communities in all levels.
Mr. Alex Segbefia, Minister of Health, said the engagement of Community Health Workers (CHW) would boost Ghana's chances in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) target.
He said infant and under-5 mortality was still high in Ghana; thus it has become necessary for CHW to educate women on good health and sanitation practices.
Mr. Segbefia said the free maternal care delivery system, the establishment of additional midwifery training schools, and the Ghana Newborn Strategy and Action Plan were landmarks in the fight to end preventable infant and under-five mortality.
In his welcome address, Mr. Kobina Beecham, Chief Executive Officer of YEA, said that the YEA will collaborate mostly with established state institutions to implement its programmes. YEA will also partner with other international institutions to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of the United Nations to create decent and sustainable jobs for Ghanaians. This, he said, was the vision of H. E. President John Dramani Mahama.
Mr. Beecham said that the Agency in collaboration with its partners will recruit, train and equip, deploy and employ over 20,000 young people as CHW. "This will provide a unique opportunity to fill the unemployment gap, while at the same time promoting universal health coverage especially for rural and deprived communities".
The Chief Executive Officer of YEA cautioned the public not to purchase any application forms from any one. He said that all applications would be advertised in the Newspapers, on Radio and other channels; and registrations done online or at the district and regional offices of YEA.
Mr. Hubert Charles, National Director of World Vision said that they will partner with government to reduce the Child and Maternal mortality rate to an acceptable level.
On their part, the one million Community Health Workers (1mCHW) campaign will work closely with the Ghana Health Service (GHS), Youth Employment Agency, World Vision International and other organizations to promote quality and affordable health services for all communities.
The 1mCHW campaign has a mission to accelerate the attainment of universal health coverage in rural sub-Saharan Africa by supporting governments, international partners, UN agencies, and national Stakeholders dedicated to community health worker scale-up in the context of health systems.
Government resolves impasse between (MDPI) and encroachers.

Does anybody know anything about a band called Accrington Stanley who formed in 1970 and were around for only a year or two? Their members comprised Rod Hill and Dave Foster - both ex-Warriors - Jim Payne - from Gideon's Way(?) - Brian Johnstone and Dave "Wammy" Walmsley (Who I saw gigging outside a bar in Benidorm just last week!).
They played the top London clubs like the Marquee and were all set to be signed to the Rolling Stones' record label, then for some reason they fell apart. Anybody got any info on them?
I wouldn't mind hearing their stuff though!
I want the finest wines available to humanity, I want them here and I want them now!
Dave Walmsley's still around, "Wammy"
Last edited by K.S.H; 26-01-2005 at 18:57.
Already found those sites in my quest for more information, but thanks anyway, K.S.H.
The event that prompted this query was my holiday in Benidorm last week. I was walking along a street when I came across Wammy serenading an audience of elderly Brits at an open air bar with "Wooden Heart". I was so surprised to see him that I immediately shouted out "Wammy!" and began jumping up and down, pointing to the "Accrington Stanley Pride of Lancashire" legend on my T-shirt. He abandoned his song and began jumping up and down too, shouting "Accy Stanley! Accy Stanley!" while the audience looked on in amazement (and my missus quickly moved to the other side of the street, pretending she had nothing to do with me).
I managed to have a word with him and, apparently, he comes over for six weeks' worth of gigs at this time every year. It's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll from the Marquee to a bar in Benidorm, but he certainly seemed happy and well!
Wynonie.. I spoke to jimmy paynes Mum last night, She remembers the band her son was in called "Accrington Stanley" and said she has a big poster on her wall of them, she has promised to get a few things together to show me .
Cheers for enquiring Simon. Alan Gilmartin has kindly provided me with Jim's email address, so I'm going to ask him a few things about the band. It'd be interesting to see the stuff she shows you - maybe you could scan it and show it on here?
When I finally finish my 'Autobiography', You will find, 'more or Less' all the information you will probably need to satify your curiosity. Jim Payne, (ex Accy' Stan' Drummer) has helped me with some of the info regarding the Band. Meanwhile you may lookup Dave Foster's web site. It containes a few photos of us lot!
Dave WAMMY Walmsley-I was the Guitarist with the band, together with Rod Hill.
Looking forward to that, Wammy. Did Jim tell you he has what is possibly the only recorded track by Accrington Stanley in existence - "Days of Men and Women" - one for your career-spanning retrospective compilation, I reckon!
Anyone know at what point and for how long keyboardist Brian Johnston was involved with Accrington Stanley? Very curious, as there seems to be a lot of uncertainty about it. Brian must've joined the band directly after leaving the band White Plains, sometime between June and October of 1970. I noticed on David Foster's website there's a promo photo with lots of info written under each band member, but the print's too small to read, unfortunately.

Q: ggplot2: How can I add a symbol in ylab(expression(paste())) after a subscript I am quite new in the world of ggplot2 but with your help I already got far. However, now I am struggling with a "simple" thing. The title of my axis is supposed to look like "Fs/Fo,  Fm/Fo" (the small letters "s","o" and"m" subscripted. therefore I use:
+ylab(expression(paste(F[s]/F[o]~~~~~~~F[m]/F[o])))
Like this the letter are subscripted, but I am not able to get a comma right behind the Fo. It either gives me an error:" Error: unexpected ',' in.. "or, if I put it in "", it just appears as:"F[s]/F[o],~~~~~F[m]/F[o]"  Does anyone have any solution for this small issue?

A: try
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data.frame(x = rnorm(100), y = rnorm(100)), aes(x,y))  +
   geom_point() +
   ylab(expression(paste(F[s]/F[o]~","~F[m]/F[o])))

Today's episode is one of the most raw, real, heartfelt episodes we've done.
Jay's stint as a co-host is coming to an end. The show must go on, though! Paula will carry the podcast into an awesome future, and Jay will be our most enthusiastic fan.
In this episode, Jay and Paula talk about "quitting" (or "pivoting" or "retiring") and how you know when it's time.
They discuss a profound lesson — "sometimes you need to let go of the 'good' to make room for the 'great'" — and share how they've applied this to both work and life.
This episode is as educational as it is heartfelt. We hope you enjoy this one.
What's next? This will be the same show moving forward (minus one wacky co-host). We'll cover crushing debt, saving for retirement, entrepreneurship, financial independence – a mashup of everything personal finance.
We'll interview fascinating guests who've accomplished crazy, incredible things — from repaying huge debts to launching successful companies to retiring in their 30's.
Think of this as a new beginning. And don't worry … Jay will live in the blooper reel and guest cameo segments. You haven't heard the last of him yet!
J. Money here – Just want to thank you all SO SO MUCH for supporting us this year and for giving the show a shot! It was a helluva great time despite the parts I struggled with (which we go over on the show), and I hope it helped y'all or at least kept you entertained : ) Please stay in touch and reach out anytime! You can always find me at my blog, BudgetsAreSexy.com, or on Twitter @BudgetsAreSexy. Will miss you guys! Keep fighting for the dream!!
"Work" does that to you Jay. "Work" or that"thing", as you call it, has turned my lifelong interest into something I now despise. Much success to you!
I'm working to become self employed. It just takes time.
couldn't let you leave Jay without sending you a message. I started listening to you guys from day one and I never commented before, but today, I had to. I will miss you Jay on this show, but will continue to read your blogs. Paula thank you for keeping the show the same; although I'm really into real estate, but I like the fact that the show will remain diverse.
Thank you, I love you both and I will miss you Jay.
Don't underestimate the value of a cohost with your upbeat and curious style. It's great for the listeners to hear you ask the questions we're all thinking and to feel like we're all learning together.
That being said, I will definitely stay tuned to your blog and to Paula's solo show and can't wait for your first guest appearance.
Thanks Julie 🙂 I'd try and drop some curses here text doesn't work the same! Haha… Thanks for the kind words!
BTW, I think the economist that Jay was referencing in the episode was John Maynard Keynes. He predicted that increases in productivity would mean 15-hour workweeks by our generation.
YES YES YES! That was it!
So very sorry to hear you are leaving the show. I think the chemistry with Jay and Paula works/worked very well and I enjoyed it. I will miss you Jay. I am also very glad Paul will continue and glad she will keep it diverse. Thank you for the time you gave to the podcast and I look forward to hearing you in the future.
Thanks Jessica 🙂 I'm glad you'll still be sticking around!
Thank you Jay… As must have said it here: you will be missed!
Greetings from rainy Bogota to you both!
Todo lo mejor para tus nuevos emprendimientos!
Best episode ever! Radical honesty always deserves an award. I did get teary eyed at the start of this. THANK YOU for recording this.
Best of luck J. I enjoyed listening to you, and applaud your decision to spend more time with family.
Hi Paula and Jay – just got back from Camp Mustache and spending quality time with Ms. Paula where I learned that Jay was "retiring" from the money show. While disappointed, I was anxious to listen to the podcast and I found this interview very moving. Kudos to you Jay for allowing yourself to be vulnerable. I think one reason I can identify with your decision, Jay, is the incredible drive and focus that Paula demonstrates. This just might cause some challenge in comparing oneself to her. That would produce anxiety in me. Wow, Paula, you are the little engine that could! On the other hand, I identify more with Jay's type of energy. We are all different and neither personality type is better or worse. Jay, I think your path has led you to truly knowing yourself. This authenticity will take you far on the right path for you. Paula, I'll be listening/reading on and will continue to be inspired. I may even have to bundle up ???? Continued success to you both!
Thanks Marla!! So cool you got to hang with Paula lately – I haven't seen her since last year 🙂 Thanks for listening to the show and your kind words! Here's to future success for all of us!
Just started listening about a week ago, and this is like my 8th podcast and was kinda bummed to hear your leaving J., But after listening, not so bummed now, and happy for you. Paula, this is a great podcast. Your perspective is different and especially I find your questions are so insightful. Looking forward to catching up with all the podcasts in the next month or two. J, again congrats on reaching the place where you understand what is right for. Oh, one last thing…this podcast was so good that I listened twice, and will save to listen in the future…thank you both for sharing.
Glad you're enjoying it 🙂 Paula's a beast.
Started these podcasts lately. Loved the money show. Finished the podcast series until, until……..the episode where Jay left. That took me a week. I was addicted to the show by Paula and Jay. I was listening while commuting, at the gym, everywhere I could. You both did a wonderful job to keep us entertained and also provide value at the same time. After that episode, it took me more than a month to finish 4 episodes after. Its just not the same anymore. Definitely miss Jay.
I now switched back to Paula's site for content.
Hey! Thanks for the kind words!! Just now seeing this as been M.I.A. lately with the show (obviously, haha) but just had to chime in to say thank you and so glad you enjoyed the first handful of episodes there 🙂 I'm still content with the decision, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss y'all and Paula! I had a lot of fun most of the time.

About maple family centers
Maple Family Centers – The LaSpina Family Legacy
The LaSpina family has owned and operated bowling centers for three generations. For a little insight on the family here is a profile on Mr. John LaSpina that appeared in Newsday back in 2012:
You can't sit and wait for customers to walk through the door, says John LaSpina, president of Maple Family Bowling Centers, a 52-year-old family business (this was in 2012 – so now 58 years) that owns bowling alleys in Coram, Farmingdale, Rockville Centre, Flushing and Brooklyn (this center was sold in 2012).
He's faced decades of fierce competition, tenfold insurance rate hikes, anti-smoking laws and video games that lured kids away from bowling.
LaSpina adapted by increasing marketing efforts and transforming the game he loves. He courted parents by building toddler-sized lanes with ramps to push the balls down, and added glow-in-the-dark bowling. He built a portable lane to lure outside fairgoers back to the game.
LaSpina even hired a fundraising staffer and has hosted events that raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities (including more than $40,000 for the Bowlers to Veterans Link, which helps veterans and active military enjoy morale-lifting recreational and therapeutic programs), and holds annual scholarship championship bowls in his father's memory.
What's an effective way to market bowling?
We do something very grassroots. We'll give a hundred stores within a mile of [each location] their own thousand free game cards. And they'll say "Compliments of Delta Dry Cleaners, have one free game at Rockville Centre Lanes," or Maple Lanes, or wherever. And it's really guerrilla marketing at its best. Every mom will collect those cards, the kids will come to bowl three games with a free one . . . For 40 stores, we'll spend $4,500, and we'll make $20,000.
You've owned 10 bowling alleys. How do you know when to sell?
A bowling center will do 10,000 games a lane bed per year, at $5 average price . . . You have to be able to see a positive future. If there are too many challenges . . . if you know what you're earning on your real estate and then you see what it's worth for an alternate use, if it's way out of balance, it's time to go.
What's the best way to keep your business alive?
Surround myself with young-thinking people . . . and [create] price points that are family-friendly. People like clean places that are friendly, people like to be remembered and recognized, so we spend a lot of time on the customer-service side. I insist that the staff go and interact with those customers . . . If you make that connection with people, they'll always come through for you. I will ask customers what they think of ideas for promotions, and they're like my board of directors -- they'll give me thumbs up or thumbs down.
What are your hobbies?
I'm all about family and friends. . . . I love the beach . . . and I love to bowl. It's kind of crazy. I'm at it all day long . . . but I love to bowl.
CORPORATE SNAPSHOT
Name. John LaSpina, president of Maple Family Centers.

Amazing Rescue Video: Nigerian Man Survives 3 Days Trapped At Bottom Of Atlantic
Harrison Odjegba Okene
AFRICANGLOBE – Entombed at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in an upended tugboat for three days, Harrison Odjegba Okene begged God for a miracle.
The Nigerian cook survived by breathing an ever-dwindling supply of oxygen in an air pocket. A video of Okene's rescue in May that was posted on the Internet more than six months later has gone viral this week.
As the temperature dropped to freezing, Okene, dressed only in boxer shorts, recited the last psalm his wife had sent by text message, sometimes called the Prayer for Deliverance: "Oh God, by your name, save me. … The Lord sustains my life."
To this day, Okene believes his rescue after 72 hours underwater at a depth of 30 metres is a sign of divine deliverance. The other 11 seamen aboard the Jascon 4 died.
Divers sent to the scene were looking only for bodies, according to Tony Walker, project manager for the company DCN Diving.
The divers, who were working on a neighbouring oil field 120 kilometres away when they were deployed, had already pulled up four bodies.
So when a hand appeared on the TV screen Walker was monitoring in the rescue boat, showing what the diver in the Jascon saw, everybody assumed it was another corpse.
"The diver acknowledged that he had seen the hand and then, when he went to grab the hand, the hand grabbed him!" Walker said in a telephone interview Tuesday.
"It was frightening for everybody," he said. "For the guy that was trapped because he didn't know what was happening. It was a shock for the diver while he was down there looking for bodies, and we (in the control room) shot back when the hand grabbed him on the screen."
On the video, there's an exclamation of fear and shock from Okene's rescuer, and then joy as the realization sets in. Okene recalls hearing: "There's a survivor! He's alive."
Walker said Okene couldn't have lasted much longer.
"He was incredibly lucky he was in an air pocket but he would have had a limited time (before) … he wouldn't be able to breathe anymore."
The full video of the rescue captured by divers was released by DCN Diving after a request from the media. Initially, a shorter version of the rescue emerged on the Internet. The authenticity of the video was confirmed through conversations with DCN employees. The video showing Okene was also consistent with additional photos of him on the rescue ship.
Okene's ordeal began around 4:30 a.m. on May 26. Always an early riser, he was in the bathroom when the tug, one of three towing an oil tanker in Nigeria's oil-rich Delta waters, gave a sudden lurch and then keeled over.
"I was dazed and everywhere was dark as I was thrown from one end of the small cubicle to another," Okene said in an exclusive interview after his rescue with Nigeria's Nation newspaper.
He groped his way out of the toilet and tried to find a vent, propping doors open as he moved on. He discovered some tools and a life vest with two flashlights, which he stuffed into his shorts.
When he found a cabin of the sunken vessel that felt safe, he began the long wait, getting colder and colder as he played back a mental tape of his life — remembering his mother, friends, mostly the woman he'd married five years before with whom he hadn't yet fathered a child.
He worried about his colleagues — 10 Nigerians and the Ukrainian captain including four young cadets from Nigeria's Maritime Academy. They would have locked themselves into their cabins, standard procedure in an area stalked by pirates.
He got really worried when he heard the sound of fish, shark or barracudas he supposed, eating and fighting over something big.
As the waters rose, he made a rack on top of a platform and piled two mattresses on top.
According to his interview with the Nation: "I started calling on the name of God. … I started reminiscing on the verses I read before I slept. I read the Bible from Psalm 54 to 92. My wife had sent me the verses to read that night when she called me before I went to bed."
He survived off just one bottle of Coke, all he had to sustain him during the trauma.
Okene really thought he was going to die, he told the Nation, when he heard the sound of a boat engine and anchor dropping, but failed to get the attention of rescuers. He figured, given the size of the boat, that it would take a miracle for a diver to locate him. So he waded across the cabin, stripped the wall down to its steel body, then knocked on it with a hammer.
But "I heard them moving away. They were far away from where I was."
By the time he was saved, relatives already had been told the sailors were dead.
Okene kept faith with the psalm he recited, that promises to "give thanks in your name, Lord," at a service at his Redeemed Christian Church of God.
He was rescued by a diver who first used hot water to warm him up, then attached him to an oxygen mask. Once free of the sunken boat, he was put into a decompression chamber and then safely returned to the surface.
