Algae, along with plants and some bacteria and fungi, are autotrophs.
Autotrophs are the producers in the food chain, meaning they create their own nutrients and energy.
Kelp, like most autotrophs, creates energy through a process called photosynthesis..
Eukaryotic algae are a collection of extremely diverse, nonrelated organisms that perform photosynthesis in plastids, permanent organelles of green, brown, or bluish colors derived from endosymbiosis. In contrast to plants, algae do not form embryos.
Algae regenerate by sexual reproduction, involving male and female gametes (sex cells), by asexual reproduction, or by both ways. … Many small algae reproduce asexually by ordinary cell division or by fragmentation, whereas larger algae reproduce by spores.
Therefore, the term "algae" is a common one, rather than a word that connotes a specific, scientific meaning.Euglenophyta (euglenoids) … Chrysophyta (golden-brown algae) … Pyrrophyta (fire algae) … Chlorophyta (green algae) … Rhodophyta (red algae) … Paeophyta (brown algae) … Xanthophyta (yellow-green algae)
Single-celled algae called phytoplankton are a main source of food for fish and other aquatic life, and account for half of the photosynthetic activity on Earth—that's good. … But certain varieties such as some cyanobacteria produce toxins that can harm humans, fish, and other animals.
The typical green algal cell, which can be motile or nonmotile, has a central vacuole, pigments contained in plastids that vary in shape in different species, and a two-layered cellulose and pectin cell wall. Food is stored as starch in pyrenoids (proteinaceous cores within the plastids).
Algae are photosynthetic creatures. They are neither plant, animal or fungi. Many algae are single celled, however some species are multicellular. Many, but not all of red and brown algae are multicellular.
Algae are aquatic, plant-like organisms. They encompass a variety of simple structures, from single-celled phytoplankton floating in the water, to large seaweeds (macroalgae) attached to the ocean floor 2. Algae can be found residing in oceans, lakes, rivers, ponds and even in snow, anywhere on Earth.
No. While there are thousands of different species, algae can be broadly categorized into two main types. One type, microalgae, are microscopic organisms that live in water as single cells or in colonies. Microalgae grow fast, and some can double in size in 24 hours.
✦ There are about 7000 species of green algae, which can be found in both fresh or saltwater and also in damp places. ✦ They are considered as the group from which the higher plants evolved on the basis of certain characteristics, and the compounds found in the pigments used for photosynthesis.
Algae, singular alga, members of a group of predominantly aquatic photosynthetic organisms of the kingdom Protista. Algae have many types of life cycles, and they range in size from microscopic Micromonas species to giant kelps that reach 60 metres (200 feet) in length.
The "green algae" is a paraphyletic group because it excludes the Plantae. … Like the plants, the green algae contain two forms of chlorophyll, which they use to capture light energy to fuel the manufacture of sugars, but unlike plants they are primarily aquatic.
Macroalgae are classified into three major groups: brown algae (Phaeophyceae), green algae (Chlorophyta), and red algae (Rhodophyta). As all of the groups contain chlorophyll granules, their characteristic colors are derived from other pigments. Many of the brown algae are referred to simply as kelp.
Seaweeds are a group of algae, and have some special characteristics viz. macroscopic, multi-cellular, benthic, and marine. … All the seaweed species are autotrophic, whereas some algal species rely on other external food materials. Algae inhabit both freshwater and marine waters, while seaweeds inhabit only seawaters.
Plant-like protists are called algae. They include single-celled diatoms and multicellular seaweed. Like plants, algae contain chlorophyll and make food by photosynthesis. Types of algae include red and green algae, euglenids, and dinoflagellates.
After fusion, the gametes form new diploid cells and the process begins again. Lifespans differ for each species of algae, with an average life expectancy ranging from a few days to a year or two.
Green algae have chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll a and b, giving them a bright green color, as well as the accessory pigments beta carotene (red-orange) and xanthophylls (yellow) in stacked thylakoids. The cell walls of green algae usually contain cellulose, and they store carbohydrate in the form of starch.
Red tides, blue-green algae, and cyanobacteria are examples of harmful algal blooms that can have severe impacts on human health, aquatic ecosystems, and the economy. Algal blooms can be toxic. Keep people and pets away from water that is green, scummy or smells bad.

Crow appointed interim director of DOC
Gov. Kevin Stitt appointed former Oklahoma Department of Corrections Chief of Operations Scott Crow as interim director of the department after the abrupt resignation of former Director Joe Allbaugh. Crow has been with the department since being hired as a special investigator supervisor in 1996.
New council provides nonprofit sector a seat at the table
The Oklahoma Nonprofit Council was established by the Department of Commerce as an offshoot that would advise the DOC and the state Legislature on matters related to the sector. Composed of representatives from 25 of the state's major nonprofits representing Oklahoma City, Tulsa and rural Oklahoma, the board had its inaugural meeting on June 13 with Secretary of Commerce Sean Kouplen to establish the council's goals to represent the more than 19,000 organizations within Oklahoma's nonprofit sector.
Le Norman elected chairman of Petroleum Alliance
Members of the Petroleum Alliance of Oklahoma elected David Le Norman to a two-year term as chairman on June 14 at the first annual meeting since the Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association and Oklahoma Oil & Gas Association merged in November. Le Norman is chairman of Templar Energy and vice chair of the Oklahoma Energy Resources Board's board of directors. He also is forming private venture capital company Reign Capital Holdings LLC.
Smithfield to buy power from new Allete wind farm
Minnesota-based Allete Clean Energy announced on June 13 a power sales agreement with Smithfield Foods Inc. for 75 megawatts of output from the Diamond Spring Wind farm planned for Johnston and Pontotoc counties. Allete bought the project May 3 from Apex Clean Energy. The purchase included 15-year power sales agreements with Starbucks and Walmart. The 12-year agreement with Smithfield will account for the remaining power produced by the project. Construction on the 303-MW wind farm will begin by January and the farm is expected to be brought online by December 2020.
Wellness expert: Recovery from state's opioids crisis could take decades
It will take a commitment of billions of dollars to reverse effects of Oklahoma's opioid abuse and addiction epidemic, experts who developed a long-term recovery plan for the state testified Thursday. Dr. Julie Croff, executive director of the Center for Wellness and Recovery at Oklahoma State University in Tulsa, was on the stand for much of the day as attorneys representing the state continued to present a case that Johnson & Johnson and other drugmakers should be held financially accountable for a public health crisis that ranks among the worst in the nation's history. Croff said it will take 20-30 years to reverse harms inflicted upon the state by dangerous over-prescription of powerful, highly addictive drugs like Duragesic, Nucynta, OxyContin and Vicodin. The non-jury trial in the courtroom of Cleveland County District Judge Thad Balkman started more than two weeks ago and may go on for another month.
Renewable energy jobs on the rise
Worldwide employment in the renewable energy industry grew and shifted to new markets in 2018, according to a report by the International Renewable Energy Agency. Released June 13, the Renewable Energy and Jobs Annual Review found the industry had 11 million jobs worldwide in 2018, compared to 10.3 million in 2017. In the U.S., employment in the construction and installation segment and in operations and maintenance is concentrated in Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa, California and Kansas. Globally, employment is concentrated in China, Brazil, the U.S., India and European Union countries, with China making up 39%, or 4.1 million jobs.
Court denies challenge to Medicaid petition
Oklahomans should be allowed to consider signing an initiative petition calling for a vote on whether to extend Medicaid coverage to more people in the state, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled. Opponents of the petition had argued before the court that it was "fatally flawed" in two ways and should not be allowed to go forward, but the justices disagreed. The justices' ruling in favor of the petition means advocates for Medicaid expansion now have 90 days to collect signatures of citizens. If 177,958 signatures are garnered – amounting to 15% of votes cast in the last election for governor – State Question 802 will appear on ballots in a general election in November 2020.
OKC Council approves amnesty program for fines and warrants
A new amnesty program approved by the Oklahoma City Council could help the city's municipal courts resolve more than 116,000 outstanding warrants and collect over $17 million in fines over a nine-month period. Brought forward by the Judiciary Committee, the measure would allow offenders who failed to meet court dates the opportunity to pay a reduced fine or have the fines excused entirely if it is ruled they are unable to pay. Running from July 1, 2019, to March 31, 2020, the program is a tool that Oklahoma City Municipal Courts Administrator LaShawn Thompson said could improve operations.
State to invest up to $500,000 to market fishing trail
Anglers visiting Oklahoma's lakes and rivers already spend about $1.8 billion on fishing equipment annually and support more than 15,000 jobs across the state, said Lt. Gov. Matt Pinnell. But Oklahoma could be reeling in more fishing dollars, he said Wednesday. Pinnell kicked off the Oklahoma Fishing Trail Initiative at Lake Thunderbird State Park on Tuesday by casting lines with television sports personality Jimmy Houston.
Love's contribution first of many for Scissortail Park
The Scissortail Park under construction in downtown Oklahoma still has plenty of sponsor-naming opportunities across its 70 acres following the Love family's recent $2 million contribution, foundation CEO Maureen Heffernan said. The trust operating the park on Oklahoma City Hall's behalf named a stage in honor of the founders of the 41-state retail truck stop and restaurant chain: Love's Travel Stops Stage and Great Lawn. Company Vice President Jenny Love Meyer said her family contacted the foundation in response to a kickoff donation by Mayor David Holt in honor of his parents.
Oil and gas merger places combined company in Tulsa
Tulsa-based Chisholm Oil and Gas LLC and Houston-based Gastar Exploration LLC announced plans to merge, with the new company taking Chisholm's name and being headquartered in Tulsa. The deal is expected to close in 2019's third quarter. Both companies are focused in the STACK play, with Chisholm working on acquisition and development of oil and gas and Gastar engaged in exploration, development and production of oil, condensate, natural gas and natural gas liquids.
Pratt & Whitney to expand in Midwest City
A multimillion-dollar investment by aerospace company Pratt & Whitney will fund a major expansion of its Military Aftermarket Services business in Midwest City, company officials said. The expansion will support sustainment operations based out of the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex at Tinker Air Force Base. The expansion also promises to bring more than 100 long-term jobs.
Winter wheat crop looking healthy, but challenges remain
At just a quarter of the way through harvest, Oklahoma's winter wheat looks like a good quality crop this year, industry experts said. That assumes producers can get into their fields, however. Heavy rain across the state has made it nearly impossible to reach many crops with combines getting stuck in mud. And every storm cloud represents another day beyond peak grain quality.
Global helium shortage driving production efforts in Oklahoma
Amid a worldwide helium shortage, Canada-based Desert Mountain Energy Corp. is expanding helium production in the Kight Gilcrease Sand Unit in Seminole County. The company finalized acquisition of the oil and gas project from Seminole Productions in January, purchasing it for its potential in both oil and helium. Now the company expects to be producing helium in the area by the end of the year, Desert Mountain Chief Executive Officer Irwin Olian said.

Hamann SLS AMG
German tuner Hamann has given Merc's SLS AMG an aural and visual makeover. See the results here.
by: Ben White
German tuning company Hamann has taken on the Mercedes SLS AMG, giving it a visual and aural overhaul.
The visual differences between the standard SLS and the Hamann come in the form of 21in 'Design Edition Race Anodized' alloys and a 30mm suspension drop. This €10,500 (£8,900) option serves to make the SLS look even more hunkered down than the already sleek standard car, and according to Hamann increases stability in high-speed corners.
Audio improvements take the form of a stainless steel exhaust which allows the engine to exhale through twin 90mm pipes on each side. Hamann hasn't given any indication of increased power derived from the exhaust system, or even the price of the upgrade, but expect the V8 rumble to be mighty.
The SLS is the latest in a series of lightly fettled exotica by Hamann that includes the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and Porsche 911.

LaBelle certainly does not have a shortage of inspirational people, and the attendees of the LaBelle Parkinson's Exercise Class and their caregivers are among them. This determined group rallied together at the Walk 4 Hope event, held at Lakes Regional Park in Fort Myers, this past Saturday, April 6. The Walk 4 Hope was an event where Parkinson Program participants, their caregivers, family, friends, and neighbors gathered and walked together, to raise awareness and kick-off the start of Parkinson's Awareness Month.
Parkinson's is a chronic, progressive, incurable neurological disease associated with a loss of dopamine-generating cells in the brain. A staggering one million Americans are currently living with Parkinson's Disease. While PD is often known for its movement and motor-related problems, or tremors, it can also cause apathy, depression, sleep disorders, and cognitive impairment. Exercise is essential for those with PD, helping maintain balance, mobility, and overall disease management.
Research has shown that daily physical activity can actually improve PD symptoms. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with PD and is looking for support, the LaBelle Parkinson's Exercise Class meets every Thursday, at 9:00 a.m. in the Hope Connections senior center, located at 475 E. Cowboy Way in LaBelle.


Welcome to the world of Bert Fields, the most famous entertainment lawyer in America.
For the record, Maguire's ailing back healed itself after Fields demanded a physical, and he returned to "Spider-Man II," properly contrite. The film, of course made box-office history with the largest opening day ever and made the second-highest domestic receipts of all time, behind only Titanic.
Some might think the story smacks of potential conflict, but that would simply reveal ignorance about how Hollywood operates. After decades as a power broker, the 76-year-old Fields, a partner at Greenberg, Glusker, Fields, Claman, Machtinger & Kinsella, has woven a tapestry of relationships not only with creative types but also with studio executives. On occasion those relationships become entanglements, but mostly his clients enjoy his insider's ability to get things done with a minimum of fuss.
Despite a few — very few — bumps along the way, Fields transcends the role of even the most high-priced lawyer. He serves a unique function as adviser to a wide range of friends and clients, many of whom view each other as, at best, friendly enemies.
Mario Puzo, a client, once described Fields as "the greatest consigliere of them all." As Hollywood becomes increasingly corporate and technology-driven, Fields may also be the last consigliere.
Fields has most famously represented talent, including longtime clients Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman and, more recently, Tom Cruise. Less famously, but equally frequently, he has represented every studio but Disney, not only in full-blown litigation but also in an informal advisory role. And as if that weren't enough hats, he is the only major entertainment lawyer to handle both litigation and transactions.
Cool and urbane, the bone-thin Fields is L.A.-bred and Harvard trained, with tastes running to fine art his wife is art consultant Barbara Guggenheim — fine wine and erudite literary research. He has written two racy legal thrillers under a pseudonym, as well as two nonfiction works about Shakespeare.
Although his threatening letters and inflammatory quotes to the media have earned Fields the sobriquet of pit-bull litigator, far from frothing at the mouth, he is a study in icy calm. His courtroom demeanor, whether in front of a judge or a jury, is low-key and conversational; the game plan is to win through inexorable logic. As many victims have discovered, however, there's a steel fist in the velvet glove.
The killer instinct was on full display when he questioned chief executive officer Michael Eisner in Katzenberg v. Disney in 1999. At the height of the Disney chief's powers, Fields' questioning began the slow unraveling of Eisner's skein.
In a dream moment for any lawyer, a red-faced Eisner, towering over Fields, warned him not to pursue his line of questioning.
Fields, unperturbed, continued to ask Eisner if he ever had called his former right-hand man, Jeffrey Katzenberg, "the little midget." The trap, of course, had been set years ago when Fields won a motion requiring author Tony Schwartz to turn over his notes from the book he co-authored with Eisner, "Work in Progress," in which Eisner made repeated references to Katzenberg's lesser size.
Although Fields' lair was probably not designed by the set decorator for "The Godfather," it's a pretty good interpretation for a lawyer. Ensconced in two large rooms in the four floors occupied by his Century City law firm, he moves between a walnut-paneled working office containing a massive leather-covered desk piled with books and papers, Windsor chairs and a portrait of the longest-serving U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Marshall. Adjoining this is a private conference room with antique tables and a black tufted leather sofa just like these. The walls are covered in gray silk grosgrain, on which are hung a portrait of George Washington, a red lacquered Chinese screen and a splendid woodcut of a Samurai warrior, the gift of a Japanese client. On a pedestal in the corner stands a marble bust of a bewigged English judge.
To settle the dispute, Fields was hired not by Sony, but by Revolution partner Tom Sherak.
"We were sitting in a room, knowing we were going to be sued, and we said, 'Let's hire Bert. There's nobody better.' And we did," Sherak says.
Sherak was well acquainted with Fields, who handed him and producing partner/director Joe Roth a loss in an arbitration where Fields represented DreamWorks.
"At the arbitration, Bert made DreamWorks' case and we made ours. Bert was eloquent as usual, and basically … we lost," Sherak says. But that's not the punch line, according to Sherak, who says that while the group was waiting for the arbitrator to return a decision, Fields and Roth had an exchange that went like this: "I don't see why this is such a problem," Fields says.
Sherak is far from the only adversary-turned-client. To this day, one of Fields' favorite stories involves producer and famed art collector Ray Stark, who died in 2004.
"I represented Jimmy Caan on the picture 'Funny Lady,' and Ray was the producer," Fields reminisces of the 1975 show starring Barbra Streisand as Fanny Brice. Caan was under consideration to play showman Billy Rose opposite her.
Fields has dabbled in representing every major Hollywood studio except Disney during his career, most recently adding Sony to the fold. But Paramount Pictures is where he holds perhaps the deepest attachment, having survived three regimes. He is a close adviser to current Paramount chief Brad Grey; he counseled Grey's predecessor Sherry Lansing during her long reign, and before that he represented Lansing's predecessor and former partner Stanley Jaffe.
When Paramount was found liable in 1990 of cheating humorist Art Buchwald out of his profit share for a movie idea that became "Coming to America," studio chairman Marvin Davis turned to Fields to get the verdict thrown out. Fields went up against his close friend Pierce O'Donnell, the noted Los Angeles trial lawyer who took on Hollywood's accounting practices. The two managed to reach a settlement, depriving Hollywood of legal precedent on accounting procedures.
Fields has also represented Lansing's husband, director Billy Friedkin. But more on that later.
Despite these close ties, Fields also represented clients against Paramount, particularly "Godfather" author Puzo. He also represented Beatty in a well-publicized fight over cutting the 3-hour, 20-minute film "Reds." (Beatty, a client for 25 years, first encountered Fields when he was on the other side of the table in a dispute with comedian Elaine May).
Grey, who last year joined Paramount as its chairman, says he's never heard the Ovitz story, but he agrees they have known each other forever. "He has great wisdom and great instincts about people and our business. He has a laserlike instinct for the truth of any situation," says Grey, who adds that his favorite moments have been when Fields represented him.
With Grey now head of the studio, Fields negotiates against him representing talent.
Fields handled two nasty litigations for Grey: One was a high-profile case in which former client Garry Shandling accused Grey, his manager and executive producer of his show, of conflict of interest; the other involved a claim by "Scary Movie" producer Bo Zenga that Brillstein-Grey had orally agreed to make him an equal production partner in the film.
Zenga's case ended when Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert O'Brien took the case away from the jury and directed a verdict for Grey, which was upheld on appeal. The Shandling case ended with a confidential settlement in 1999, but who won is still a matter of dispute.
While both Fields and his opposing counsel and good friend David Boies agree that they settled the case on the eve of trial over a bottle of wine, Fields says Boies is flat wrong in declaring victory.
When Shandling filed his $100 million suit alleging that Grey, his personal manager and the producer of his HBO series, "The Larry Sanders Show," had an irreconcilable conflict, the case was greeted as a watershed event. Initially a series of rulings and sanctions went against Shandling, until the volatile Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ralph Dau handed him a lifeline by reversing a written tentative motion granting Grey summary judgment.
In his book, "Courting Justice," Boies claims the cards then star ted to fall his way. Fields had to bow out because the trial of Katzenberg's claims against Disney had started, and Boies (who was virtually invisible during the pretrial phase) got an unexpected break from pursuing the U.S. government's claims against Microsoft and would be available for trial.
But Boies doesn't mention that Shandling was under pressure from Columbia Pictures to settle because he was about to make his big- screen debut in a film that turned out to be a bomb, "What Planet Are You From?" There was also the huge potential for embarrassment on both sides, with Shandling sure to face accusations of erratic behavior and the rehashing of a sexual harassment incident.
Boies recounts that he told Fields that Shandling was entitled to an eight-figure cash payment in addition to buyouts of interests in various television series, but in a footnote he states that the "settlement's value" was eight figures. Fields says "the cash portion was substantially less than eight figures." In Hollywood, at least, the settlement was viewed as a piddling end to the case that was supposed to blow the lid off the management business.
As for Friedkin, he represents one of the rare times Fields' many entanglements tripped him up. He represented Friedkin and "Exorcist" author William Blatty in a routine lawsuit against Warner Brothers over profit participation and other accounting issues on the 2000 re-release of the film.
While the suit was pending, Fields was called in by Warner Brothers' subsidiary HBO to handle a high-profile blowout over James Gandolfini's salary demands on "The Sopranos." Hanging in the balance was the fifth season of the highly profitable show.
Friedkin refused to waive the conflict, and Fields was forced to with- draw as counsel. Fields stayed involved, however, as an adviser to Brad Grey. The executive producer of the series and not a party to the suit, Grey played the part of peacemaker. Friedkin's case settled later in 2003 on the day of trial.
The only cloud on Fields' otherwise charmed career came in 2003. To the astonishment of Hollywood, he revealed that he had been questioned by the FBI in connection with a grand jury probe of whether private investigator Anthony Pellicano had conducted ille- gal wiretaps to aid his clients. Fields consistently has maintained that he had no knowledge of Pellicano's activities, and the U.S. attorney for Los Angeles has been mum for many months.
Fields has made no secret of his use of the flamboyant detective, a favorite of several entertainment lawyers who currently is serving a federal sentence on a weapons charge. Fields most famously deployed Pellicano during Michael Jackson's first child molestation case and also used him on a sexual harassment case for producer Don Simpson, Grey's lawsuits and for a few hours as security at the Katzenberg trial.
After a brief period of keeping out of the limelight, Fields is back in full swing.
He says he spends lots of time on Tom Cruise matters, mostly advising him on deals. Over the years, Fields has aggressively and successfully pursued libel suits against tabloids claiming they have proof that Cruise is gay. Although Fields says he has no involvement in Cruise's decision to proselytize for Scientology, he has sent out cease and desist letters, particularly in connection with the recent expose in Radar magazine detailing Cruise's alleged ascent through Scientology's upper ranks.
Showing no signs of slowing down, Fields is preparing for trial this fall on behalf of author Clive Cussler. The case involves script approval on the film "Sahara," which did middling box office for Paramount and boasts one interesting factoid: It was the directing debut of Breck Eisner, Michael Eisner's son.
Fields finds himself very much involved these days with his signature client, Jeffrey Katzenberg. In typical Fieldsian fashion, his relationship with DreamWorks founder Katzenberg has morphed from litigator to counselor of both the individual and the company.
Along with Cravath, Swaine & Moore, Fields represents DreamWorks in a spate of shareholder actions and a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation against the publicly traded animation entity. Fields allowed that he also is "tangentially involved" in talks with Universal about the sale of the DreamWorks live-action division, producer of movies such as American Beauty and Gladiator.
"I often negotiated against Jeffrey when he was at Disney," recalls Fields, who has been suing Disney since the 1960s. At that time he represented book publisher E.P. Dutton in a suit against the company that ironically involved a rights issue on Winnie the Pooh, a character that so engulfed Fields almost 40 years later.
Fellow DreamWorks founder David Geffen also was a Fields client after a bout as an adversary in a ferocious lawsuit over "Personal Best," where Fields represented director/writer Robert Towne. Katzenberg and Fields became inextricably linked when they sued Disney, claiming the former Disney president had unfairly been denied his bonus of 1 percent of profits. Many headlines and a trial later, the case settled in 1999 for an estimated $250 million.
Fields has made something of a career of suing Disney. He quietly represented Bob and Harvey Weinstein, who founded Miramax Films, through years of skirmishes with their corporate owner Disney, rarely making public statements until he settled up the brothers' departure earlier this year, without litigation.
Besides the Katzenberg case, Fields' other high-profile litigation against the studio, while not technically in the loss column, lacked a fairytale ending. Fields represented the Slesinger family, the holders of the license for Winnie the Pooh, in their epic royalty battle with the studio. Atypically for Fields, the plaintiff, while wealthy, was a Hollywood outsider, and Fields was one of a long string of lawyers hired by heir Pati Slesinger to handle the case.
Although Fields got her the desired publicity and a few apparently significant wins, he withdrew in 2003 for undisclosed reasons. A year later, the 13-year-old case, which is now on appeal, came to an astounding end when it was transferred to a new judge. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Charles McCoy dismissed the case as the ultimate sanction for what he termed "egregious" and "dishonest" con- duct by the plaintiffs (not their attorneys) in destroying and altering documents and stealing Disney documents from a company trash bin.
With his old nemesis Eisner gone, Fields believes things will be different at Disney.
Does Fields envision ever representing the Mouse House?

Let's get Classy, shall we?

About using Classes in Ruby.

April 19, 2015

                When we talk about classes in Ruby, we're really talking about types of objects we're using. For example, a number such as 1 is an instance of the Fixnum class, a string such as "I am a string" is an instance of the String class, and an array such as [1,2,3] is an instance of the Array class. Classes allow us to group similar objects, and automatically give them functions that are useful for that type of object. For example, Fixnums can be added together easily just by typing + in between them, because Ruby recognizes them as integers automatically. However, one of the most useful things about classes is that we can create our own classes to suit our needs.

                For a clear example, we're going back to the grocery store again. As you can see here, I've created a class called StockList, which is capitalized so that we know it's a class and not just a variable. Under the initalize method, I've given each instance of StockList three parameters: name, price, and quantity. This means that every time we create a new instance of StockList, we can customize it with the item's name, price, and quantity from the getgo. I've also created a method called status, which will print to the terminal those same values we put in, once #status is called. Here's how they work:

                cookies = StockList.new('Chocolate Chip', 5.00, 20)
                cookies.status #=> We have 20 of Chocolate Chip, and it costs $5.00 each.

                Now, while it may seem that we only have these two methods, if you look back up to the top you'll see three attr methods. They may not seem like much, but they will allow us to do functions just by calling their names. Attr_reader allows us to assign a value to the parameter through initialize, and once it is called as a method it will display the value. However, once initialized it cannot be rewritten later. Attr_writer on the other hand, can be rewritten later on, but not called upon as a method to read. Fortunately, attr_accessor covers both bases by allowing us to both read and write to it. This can get a bit confusing, so we'll look at examples:

                p cookies.price #=> 5.00
                p cookies.quantity #=> 20
                p cookies.name #=> undefined method 'name'(NoMethodError)

              As you can see, just by typing the methods cookies.price and cookies.quantity, we have been given the price and quantity of cookies! However, when we did the same with name, we got a method error. This is due to the fact that attr_writer can't be read outside the class! Now what happens when we try to rewrite the attr_reader quantity?

                cookies.quantity = 15
                #=> undefined method 'quantity=' (NoMethodError)

              Just like when we tried to read the writer attribute "name", we got a method error when we tried to write the reader attribute "quantity". But now let's look at the good examples of what happens when we rewrite the writer and accessor attributes:

                cookies.name = 'Oatmeal Raisin'
                cookies.price = 6.00

                cookies.status
                #=> We have 20 of Oatmeal Raisin, and it costs $6.00 each.

              The name and price have been printed to reflect the changes we made! Hopefully now you can see how useful classes are, and how we can use attribute methods as a simple way to call our values!

Southern States Courting Kia
Lu Zhou
Aug 16th 2005 at 7:00AM
The latest episode of "who wants Kia's U.S. plant" contest: next month, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco will be visiting Kia's headquarter in South Korea to persuade the company to build its new plant in her state. This news comes after Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour visited the firm last week at its Seoul HQ to lobby for building a Kia plant in his state. Governor Barbour offered incentives to Kia equivalent to those given for Hyundai Motor's Alabama plant.
We believe Kia want to have a U.S. plant to build the Mojave concept (shown) from the 2004 Chicago Auto Show, as the truck would be a meaningful addition to its U.S. lineup, but Hyundai's plant in Alabama isn't set up to build trucks. Now that two southern states have put in bids, it's time for Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida to book a trip to Seoul and up the ante.


IVECO is the Official Truck Partner of the Alfa Romeo Racing team and has officially handed over 12 Stralis trucks and a Daily van on 20th March at a ceremony held in Hinwil (Switzerland) and presided by Axel Kruse, COO of Sauber Motorsport AG and Thomas Rücker, Business Director of IVECO Schweiz.
Thomas Rücker, Business Director of IVECO Schweiz, commented: "We are proud to be entering into this partnership with Alfa Romeo Racing and provide transportation for the team's equipment. IVECO has a long tradition of partnerships and participation in the world of sports, and in particular racing, where our trucks can be seen competing in the Dakar Rally and the FIA European Truck Racing Championship. We look forward to the new racing season and wish Alfa Romeo Racing success".


The Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) will bring the curtain down on its calendar of activities for 2015 on Saturday with the staging of another Pepsi/Michael Parris U-16 Boxing Championships.
The Andrew 'Sixhead' Lewis Gym will be the place to be from 10:00hrs as the young fighters in the boxing nursery match gloves for trophies and medals in the second tourney of its kind for the year.
Said Technical Director of the GBA, Terrence Poole yesterday "In the nursery over the years we tend to spot lot of talent and potential and I expect to do the same Saturday so an entertaining day of boxing should be on the cards" Poole said yesterday.
Come and see the young boxers on the brink of success in with around 25 exciting bouts scheduled.
Meanwhile, in an invited comment, president of the association, Steve Ninvalle intimated that during a meeting with the other heads of the boxing associations, it was agreed that more emphasis will be placed on the nursery.
"Going forward, the Caribbean as a Region will focus much more on the nursery and the younger boxers." Ninvalle also thanked DDL for sponsoring the championship for the fourth consecutive year and hopes that the partnership continues for many years to come.
The pugilists who will be competing for trophies and medals, will come from the stables such as the Carryl Boxing Gym, Essequibo Boxing Gym, Forgotten Youth Foundation, GDF, Republican, Pocket Rocket Gym, Rose Hall Jammers, the New Opportunity Corps and the Young Achievers Gym.


Elle, a 7 years old girl learning to manage her wealth on her own, made her second investment. We used recent market correction to buy an ETF on DivDAX, which consists of the 15 DAX stocks with the highest dividend yield (and mostly low p/e).
P/E and DivYield data are the forecasts for 2018 from comdirect.
As to stock weights, they are not equal but surprisingly little known about them, even Frankfurt Stock Exchange didn't care to specify them. Well, since Elle does not have a good command of fractions, we simplify the problem and assume the equals weights. Then we have mean P/E = 13.2 (which is relatively low) and mean DivYield=4% (which is pretty high).
Finally, we did a quick chart analysis of the constituents. Elle already knows that technical analysis is rather a voodoo craft than a science (it is prematurely talk to her about backtesting) but trying to recognize the trends and support-resistance levels at the charts is a good exercise for girl's visual perception.


Mercury is further dropping as winter kicks into high gear, today January 8, National Winter Skin Relief Day reminds us of all the ways we can keep our skin safe from withering under the harshest of elements.
The makers of CeraVe Skincare founded National Winter Skin Relief Day to bring awareness to all the extra attention the skin needs during the winter season.
Our skin is first to notice the change in the weather as the moisture is drained out in the air.
1) Keep your skin hydrated. Drink a lot of water for this.
2) Avoid long and hot showers, as hot water strips skin of its natural oils and leaves it dry.
3) Use gentle cleansers, avoid harsh soaps.
4) Don't scrub! Be gentle and let the water and lather do the work.
5) After bathing, pat the skin dry with a soft towel. Rubbing causes more irritation and inflammation.
6) If you have dry skin use a moisturizer with light petrolatum, hyaluronic acid and ceramides.
7) When dressing, wear layers. The closest layer should be made of natural fibres.
Soft fabrics like flannel and cotton cause little irritation compared to synthetic materials. Layers also are more effective against cold weather.
Winter skin relief comes many forms. Our skin needs hydration at night, too. Adding humidity to the air with a cool mist humidifier will not only hydrate your skin but will also provide a more restful sleep.


It was the Calgary Market Mall food court where Dorrie Karras first noticed the long line at OPA! of Greece. At that time, the Greek food stall was independent, and it was the combination of its famous souvlaki platters and the love of the food on the part of founder Niko Tiginagas that drew in both the curious and the hungry.
According to Karras, Tiginagas was a passionate showman who could sell anything and used to dance as he made the food from his homeland. It was 2001, and while the Greek stall was only three years old at the time, it was already on its way to becoming the largest Canadian Greek food franchise.
These days, Karras runs the original Market Mall stall, which is still as busy as it was years ago, and he's the CEO of the Greek brand and ringing in its 20th anniversary this year. This milestone is being celebrated at all of OPA!'s 95 franchise business locations that now serve up Greek delicacies across Canada thanks to Karras and the brand crew's dedication to Tiginagas' founding idea of serving up great customer service and top-quality food.
The anniversary is going to be celebrated in the way its original founder would have. Fountain cups and T-shirts will have the "Big 2-0" on them, and local cooking shows will be featuring the brand's famous recipes, including made-to-order calamari and hand-skewered souvlaki. Customers will also be able to proclaim why they love OPA! on social media for the chance to win a free catered meal for 20 people, and winners will be chosen from each market.
Brand Marketing Director Mike MacDonald says the customers who know OPA! truly love and are passionate about the brand and its food.
It's this enthusiasm, particularly among its franchises, that has helped OPA! become a mainstay in Canada with true brand power and will assist with the planned expansion in Western Canada for 2018, added Karras. The CEO also noted that OPA! stays true to the roots of the traditional Mediterranean diet, and while Greek food was more of a novelty in Canada when the stall first opened, it was also offering what other food court brands didn't at the time - namely, healthy fats like olive oil, lean proteins and fresh vegetables.
Supply Chain Manager Mickella Lycka said OPA! continues to keep entrees like its calamari, gyros and famous tzatziki sauce tasting good but also good for its customers by limiting portion size and sodium levels, and Karras also added that this devotion will never change, as the diets of customers evolve over time and the brand will continue to provide what those customers want.

What would it take to show a nation that their god really did exist? What would it take to prove that they've mixed falsehoods into their faith and, their god hadn't changed but rather they had?
Such a line of reasoning makes sense to the modern mind. But, back in 850 BC , the idea of there being only one Infinite God and Creator, occupied a small place at the bottom of the heap of religions.
In the ancient world, religion meant worship of gods. The revelation to Abraham began a religion with room for only one heavenly, all powerful, all knowing, God.

You will be surprised at what Rabbi Sh'aul/Apostle Paul meant.
Growing up, I enrolled in many of the art classes offered in junior and senior high school. My father worked in a typography shop in Hollywood where I was occasionally employed. There, I started to develop an understanding and awareness of fonts, typesetting and printing. Then I attended a few semesters at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA before choosing to be a sign painter/maker. I graduated from Los Angeles Trade Technical College's Sign Graphics program in 1979.
In 1984, while reading the print trade magazine "U&lc." I saw an article with accompanying typographic illustrations which affected me significantly. It was about the graphic designer John Langdon and was titled, "His typography talks." Langdon's layouts forever changed my creative direction. What was uniquely interesting to me was that these clever, stark, black and white designs provided insight into the meaning of a word simply by the way the letters were laid out; there was little or no illustration.
It turns out that the origins of this innovative way of achieving captivating layouts are to be traced back to master graphic designer Herb Lubalin 1918-81. He inspired a generation of typographic creativity due to his never-seen-before styles which evolved in the 1950s and 60s.


Now, researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI), led by JQI Fellow Edo Waks have cleared this hurdle and demonstrated the first single-photon transistor using a semiconductor chip. The device, described in the July 6 issue of Science (link is external), is compact: Roughly one million of these new transistors could fit inside a single grain of salt. It is also fast, able to process 10 billion photonic qubits every second.

India has opened its markets for US poultry
US President Donald Trump has said that his trade and tariff policies have started working and many countries, including India, have opened up their markets for American poultry and agricultural products that were not allowed previously.
Addressing the 100th annual convention of the American Farm Bureau Federation on Monday, he said,"India and Morocco have opened their markets to our poultry exports. We do so much for them, it's incredible. Japan opened its market to US exports of potatoes from Idaho and lamb from the great State of Texas."
He also said that under the Trump administration, the US is turning all of that around with fair trade deals that put American farmers, ranchers, and in fact put America first.
"That's what I'm interested in, American first," he added.
For the first time in a quarter of a century, Argentina recently opened its market for American pork exports, Trump said.
"They (Argentina) needed something. I said, you have to open it up to pork, and they said, okay. I said, why didn't you do it before? They said, nobody ever asked us. A lot of it is that. You would be amazed. Nobody ever asked us," the US President said.
Similarly, he said that beef from the US has been shipped to Brazil for the first time since 2003. "They're going to have a great new leader. They say he's the Donald Trump of South America. Do you believe it," Trump told the cheering farmers.
Asserting that the US has taken the toughest ever actions to confront China's unfair trade practices that hurt American farmers and ranchers, he said,"This includes China's theft of trade secrets from American agribusiness."
He said he could not believe how complicated their business is with the seeds and the genetic farming.
"It's incredible. People don't know this. But your secrets were being stolen by China and, in all fairness, other countries. We want a fair deal for American farmers removing China's arbitrary bans on agricultural imports, safeguarding our intellectual property, and providing fair market access to all American producers," the US President said.
Trump said the US has also made history by finalising an agreement to replace the "horrible" North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with a brand-new US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, called the USMCA.
Alleging that the NAFTA was one of the worst trade deals ever made by a country, he said the new landmark trade deal will increase exports of wheat from Montana, dairy from Wisconsin, chicken from Georgia, and products from farmers and ranchers all across the country.
"As part of the USMCA, Canada agreed to give fair treatment to the US wheat farmers. They will now grade American wheat just like they grade their own," he said.
According to Trump, over the last 15 years there has been a continual decline in the US' share of agricultural trade all throughout the world.
"It's all going in the wrong direction. It's changing now. Wait till you see what happens. We do the right deal with China, you're talking about massive - and they're already backordering, right? They're already back. I told them. I said you got to start ordering. You're going to order. They're going to order, and they're already started," he said.
"We're turning all of that around with fair trade deals that put American farmers, ranchers, and in fact put America first. That's what I'm interested in, American first," the US President said.

ALZANO LOMBARDO, Italy (AP) — Emotions are running high this holiday season at the Martino Zanchi Foundation nursing home in northern Italy near Bergamo after months of near-total isolation for its residents.
Long-time resident Celestina Comotti was disbelieving as a staff member read aloud a Christmas greeting from a family peering at her expectantly over a video call.
"Damn!'' Comotti exclaimed when nursing home staff confirmed that her well-wishers - 9-year-old Simon, his sister Marta and mother Alessia - were people she had never met before. The 81-year-old woman dissolved into tears.
"I am trembling," she said, adjusting her eyeglasses.
Despite a grim year marked by death and loneliness, the holiday spirit is descending on the Zanchi nursing home, one of the first in Italy to shut its doors to visitors after a COVID-19 case was confirmed in the nearby hospital on Feb. 23.
The bearers of glad tidings were the so-called "grandchildren of Santa Claus," people who answered a charity's call to spread cheer to elderly nursing home residents, many of whom live far from their families or don't have any family members left.
The "Santa's grandchildren" program is in its third year. Last year, it matched 2,550 "grandchildren" with residents of 91 nursing homes. This year, 5,800 gifts were dispatched to 228 nursing homes around the country -- an outpouring that is, in part, a reaction to the devastating toll that the coronavirus has had on the elderly, comprising the majority of Italy's confirmed 70,000 COVID-19 dead.
This was the Zanchi nursing home's first year participating in the "Santa's grandchildren" program. The town of Alzano Lombardo, where the home is located, was one of the hardest hit in Bergamo province, where Italy's first domestically transmitted coronavirus infections cases were discovered and touched off the country's deadly spring surge.
Michela Valle, the home's activities coordinator, said her goal wasn't so much about fulfilling elderly Italians' wishes for holiday gifts but "about creating ties.'' The program matched benefactors with 43 Zanchi residents this season. Valle hopes that one day, when pandemic eases substantially, there can be in-person meetings.
The recipients wore Santa hats during the virtual visits with their volunteer grandchildren. They received gifts to unwrap during the calls, too. Comotti's adoptive family sent her a shawl, just as she had requested.
"Blue, like your eyes,'' nursing home director Maria Giulia Madaschi said. Comotti laughed happily as the workers wrapped the shawl around her.
Tami "Mario" Palmiro was thrilled with his baseball cap emblazoned with the name of Bergamo's Atalanta Serie A professional soccer team, provoking a stadium cheer from the 81-year-old, before he, too, broke down in tears.
Palmiro arrived at the nursing home in August, undergoing a transition more wrenching than usual due to virus-control procedures that strictly limit family visits, Madaschi said.
One of the "grandchildren," Ilaria Sacco, said she signed up because she was unable to travel home to Italy from California for Christmas this year, and wanted to feel connected. Another, Caterina Damiano, explained that she had lost both of her grandparents this year "but I still want to be a grandchild."
Madaschi said she often found herself moved to tears by the interactions, as the "nipoti" and "nonni" found common ground. Many are already creating ties, sometimes with real relatives facilitating contact with the new "nipoti."
"The guests could perceive the Christmas spirit, the joy of the holiday -- to be able to unwrap and gift, such a normal event in this anomalous period in which we are living,'' she said. "It has been a wonderful experience. To be repeated."

NABA Cat Eye Lac Gel brings you the latest trends in the salon. You can apply the colour on its own or you can apply it on the top of another colour. You can even create bespoke designs with it. I was so so excited when I received my 5 colours (gold, purple, green, blue and violet) earlier this week. I so wanted to have something like this for ages. Latest trend, magnetic lac gels, woohoo.
So first question is, how to apply correctly?
Well, as it is a lac gel, you will follow the steps of the lac gel service.
Prep natural nail. Apply NABA Base&Top gel and cure.
Apply NABA Cat Eye lac gel as a full block colour and cure. Curing time varies. 2 mins in UV lamp or 30 sec in LED lamp.
Apply NABA Cat Eye lac gel again but do not cure it. Hold the magnet above the nail for 10-15 sec to get the eye effect. Cure.
You can use NABA Base&Top to get a glossy finish or NABA Matt top coat to get a matt finish.
Second question: can it be used on top of acrylic overlay / extension or hard gel overlay / extension?
Finish the nail with file and buff. Don't apply any top gel.
Third question: can I use another colour as a base colour first and then cat eye lac gel?
Apply your choosen colour and cure.
Apply NABA Cat Eye as a full block colour but do not cure. Hold the magnet above the nail for 10-15 sec to get the eye effect. Cure.
Your base colour can be anything. You do not have to stick with black at all. Here is another example.
My base colour here was NABA hard colour gel 20 Tyrian Purple.
Fourth question: can I do ombre effect with the cat eye lac gel?
Fifth question: can I do nail art with cat eye lac gel?
