The company offers solid financial resilience and business savvy, extensive experience, vital knowledge and a personal and human approach, which enable it to oversee complex projects through their entire lifecycle, while catering to the individual needs of every tenant.
The Urban Renewal Corporation was one of the first firms to enter the field of urban renewal as part of a vision that sees "pinui-binui" evacuation and reconstruction projects as the future of urban construction in high-demand areas. Today, we are the only company in Israel that focuses mainly on large-scale evacuation and reconstruction projects.
Over the years, the Urban Renewal Corporation has been chosen to spearhead a series of significant evacuation and reconstruction moves. With over 30 "pinui-binui" and NOP 38/2 projects to its name, and some 6,000 housing units currently undergoing approval and execution processes in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Azor, Bat Yam, Herzliya, Beit Shemesh and Ra`anana, the Urban Renewal Corporation has become a major player in its field. Over the next three years, the company is expected to build at least 1,000 housing units every year, in projects amounting to billions of shekels.
The team leading the Urban Renewal Corporation comprises prominent professionals in the fields of real estate and construction in Israel. Our team has extensive experience in introducing and pursuing large and complex construction projects in Israel and abroad, and its members are well-versed in licensing laws, the work of local and regional zoning, planning and construction committees, and in working with municipalities and local authorities. We make our extensive knowledge and experience available to each "pinui-binui" evacuation and reconstruction project, as such endeavors require multifaceted expertise in order to ensure the best results for the homeowners.
The company is headed by Levi Kushnir, Danny Shapira, Tal Goldstein and Ami Kahlon – key people in the Israeli real estate and business arenas with decades of experience between them with respect to promoting and constructing large and complex projects, in Israel and abroad. Together, they generate a unique, multi-dimensional performance that has catapulted the Urban Renewal Corporation to the forefront of its field with phenomenal speed.
We believe that every person is entitled to adequate housing and that the process of evacuation and reconstruction is the future of urban construction, and one of the keys to resolving the land and housing shortage in Israel.
Each "pinui-binui" project undertaken by the Urban Renewal Corporation is designed to improve, invigorate and enhance the urban living environment while providing the best and most suitable temporary solutions for each homeowner until such time as they receive the keys to their new apartment.
Financial resilience and proven performance: The proper values and accumulated capital allow us to outline a comprehensive financing plan for every stage of the process, and we work with the best engineers, architects, planners, and contractors in Israel to ensure we achieve optimal results.
Protecting the homeowners` rights: We are responsible for implementing the amendments to the Evacuation, Reconstruction and NOP 38 Law, designed to protect the homeowners and ensure they receive the best possible compensation for every urban renewal project.
Full transparency: We lend the utmost importance to keeping in touch with the homeowners in each "pinui-binui" project. We work vis-à-vis the local authority and the tenants with full transparency, presenting the project`s progress directly, clearly and at eye level, and providing each homeowner with individual attention that aims to meet their unique needs.
Experience: The Urban Renewal Corporation has extensive experience and wide-ranging expertise with respect to real estate licensing regulations and municipal procedures. This enables us to present municipalities and local authorities with comprehensive solutions that meet their needs and requirements, thereby increasing the likelihood of obtaining the necessary permits within a relatively short period of time.


So what's a girl to do when she finds a little piece of half price clearance steak at ALDI? What else but make Steak Fajitas with Onions, Peppers, and Mushrooms, of course! Thin, lean cuts of beef like this one lend themselves an easy steak fajitas recipe, where you just quick sear the steak whole in its flavorful marinade and then slice it even more thinly.
While I do love making fajitas of all kinds for a quick & crowd-pleasing weeknight dinner, I'll confess: I usually just wing it rather than using a specific recipe. This specific steak fajitas recipe encapsulates what I did this time (and they were goood… better than last time, so it's a good thing I wrote it down), but it's quite a forgiving process. Don't like mushrooms? Leave them out and maybe add another bell pepper. Don't like steak? Try chicken, maybe using this chicken fajitas recipe for ideas (see? did it differently there, and they were still good, lol)… or you can try these chipotle lime shrimp in fajitas, rather than in their original taco salad.
But let's get back to steak! I don't post a lot of steak recipes here, but it's much easier on your budget to use just a pound of beef and stretch it out with all of these assorted veggies & accoutrements, rather than going with a basic steak-and-potatoes recipe that requires more meat per person.
After marinating: Heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil in your 12″ cast iron skillet on medium-high heat until shimmering, swirl to coat the bottom of the pan, then add the steak and cook for three minutes per side (or until cooked through medium rare). Remove steak from pan and let it rest while you cook the veggies.
Add another Tbsp olive oil to the same skillet and scrape up the browned bits on the bottom. Add onion to the pan and cook for one minute over medium-high heat. Add one clove chopped garlic and the mushrooms and cook for another two minutes, stirring occasionally. Add another Tbsp of olive oil and the bell peppers, then continue sauteing for another three minutes, stirring occasionally, until peppers are crisp-tender. Turn off the heat under your pan.
Yum, look at that char!
This is another reason to love your cast iron skillet: It makes for such a pretty sear in foods like fajitas! You don't even need to add any extra seasonings to the veggies when you make them this way, because they pick up what's left in the pan from the steak and let all the flavors work together as a whole. So good! My carnivorous family devoured all of the steak and most of the veggies, but the leftover peppers/onions/mushrooms worked very well in veggie quesadillas for lunch the next day.
The meat and veggies here are naturally low carb and gluten free, so MashupDad enjoyed his steak fajitas on a low carb wrap (and you can easily serve them on corn or other gluten free tortillas, if you're gluten free).
It's much easier on your budget to stretch out one pound of steak with all of these assorted veggies & accoutrements, rather than going with a basic steak-and-potatoes recipe that requires more meat per person.
After marinating: Heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil in your 12" cast iron skillet on medium-high heat until shimmering, swirl to coat the bottom of the pan, then add the steak and cook for three minutes per side (or until cooked through medium rare). Remove steak from pan and let it rest while you cook the veggies.
I have made these lately with the inner skirt steak that has been on sale at Butera. Have them trim and tenderize the meat. We never have enough meat when i make them! I tend to use my own seasonings, but i found a packet of fajita seasoning I bought from Aldi (who knows when). I grilled the marinated steak on the grill and then in a skillet i added a teaspoon or 2 of oil and the veggies. Cranked up the heat and sprinkled on the fajita seaoning and then at the last minute added the steak. Wow! Better than any fajita meal I have had in a restaurant! Topped with some Herdez Guacamole sauce- extreemely spicy!
Yum! I didn't even know ALDI had a fajita seasoning mix, cool.
I'm making these tonight! I bought my $60 meal plan grocery list on Sunday morning and so far the Cilantro Lime Turkey Burgers & the Roasted Vegetable Tortellini was AWESOME!!! Thank you for everything you do!!!
I just found your website this past weekend and I am so happy! I hope this helps my budget, I was spending over $300 a week on groceries!
Oh my goodness, this was so good! Everyone gobbled it up…and I'm lol'ing because I just now read the last line of the post that said to open the window or run a fan…think the garlic or chili seasoning got caught in all of our throats as I seared the steak and we were all coughing! But the meal was fantastic! Thanks for a great recipe!
Our family of 4 LOVED these! Excellent spice rub recipe. We were able to turn the leftovers into quesadillas on night 2!
BEAUTIFUL! I didn't have any jalapenos or mushrooms, but I'm not even sure how they could have made this any better! I did add plain sea salt to the steak, but only because we like salty. 😉 Hubby cooked the steak on the griddle and I whipped up a side of guacamole. This is a new staple in my recipe rotation. ^_^ THANK YOU!

THE BYZANTINE & CHRISTIAN MUSEUM OF ATHENS
BYZANTINE & CHRISTIAN MUSEUM OF ATHENS
The history of the BCM begins before the statute that brought it into being in 1914, and is closely linked to the history of the Christian Archaeological Society (ChAE), which was founded in 1884.museums" which would serve as a "model Museum throughout the East". Sotiriou organized the collections amassed by the Supervisory Committee in the preceding years and exhibited them to the public for the first time in 1924. It was though in 1930, the Museum moved into the premises that have remained its home to this day: the Villa Ilissia, a complex close to the banks of the Ilissos built by Stamatios Kleanthes for Sophie de Marbois-Lebrun, Duchess of Plaisance, in 1848.
The Museum was shut during the World War II and reopened to the public in 1946, when a new exhibition space was built.
The most significant change since began in the late 1980s when work commenced on extending the Museum with a view to re-exhibiting its collections. The re-exhibition of the Museum's Early Christian and Byzantine collections was completed in 2004, and its post-Byzantine collections were completed in 2010.
As a result, the Byzantine and Christian Museum of the 21st century is arranged around an entirely updated concept which chimes completely with the dictates of contemporary Museology.
Address: 22 Vas. Sofias Ave., 106 75 Athens
Opening hours: Tuesday-Sunday: 09:00-16:00 / Monday: closed
For security reasons, the last visitors may enter 15 min before the Museum closes.

3 day ago - If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog @ https://www.msbreviews.com One of the most delayed movies ever, Artemis Fowl, went through severe production issues. Its plans started in 2001 (!), and only almost twenty years later it's being released… in a streaming service. Several directors and writers passed through this project, but Kenneth Branagh, Conor McPherson, and Hamish McColl are the poor souls that decided to stick around. I'm not going to extend this review more than what it needs to. This is one of the worst films Disney has ever released, live-action or animated! I have no knowledge of the source material, so I can't give my opinion about if it's loyal to it or not. However, I can write that it's a shocking, genuinely horrible adaptation of a book saga that I know holds an immense fandom. I'm so baffled at how bad this is that I don't even know where to start. I absolutely despise criticizing young kids' performances, especially when it comes to debuts like Ferdia Shaw's. But, in this case, I can't avoid it. I feel extremely sorry for Shaw, but his performance is truly embarrassing, not only due to his emotionless, bland expressions, but also the cinematography and editing. Shaw spends the whole movie simply reading his line, and waiting for someone else to feed him the next one. I hate to write this, but it's one of the worst debuts from a young actor I've ever seen. Nevertheless, it's not all Shaw's fault. The script is atrocious in every level, and for some reason, Haris Zambarloukos (DP) and Matthew Tucker (editor) keep the camera on the kid for way too long. Throughout the whole runtime, Shaw finishes his line, and the camera stays on him for extra seconds, waiting for the late cut, while Shaw's flawed acting is vulnerable. The screenplay and the lack of a coherent story are the worst aspects of all, though. As someone who had no idea about who Artemis Fowl was, how the worlds of humans and fairies worked, and what the rules of this fictional universe were, I ended the film confused and blown away by the messy structure. Josh Gad (Mulch Diggums) spends the entire movie narrating the events with the most awkward, growly voice, and Judi Dench (Commander Root) follows the same strategy. The amount of heavy-handed exposition brutely forced into these ninety-four minutes is absurd for a flick supposed to start a new film saga. Every single line of dialogue resembles some sort of announcement like new information has been discovered, even when it's not. The narrative structure is chaotic and tries to compact so much world-building that it's impossible to care for a single storyline or character. For the first half of the movie, I had no clue what it was about. There's a massive MacGuffin at the center of everything, a villain (?) who the film tells nothing about, and so many subplots jumbled together in a desperate attempt at making the whole movie make sense. The editing is choppy as hell, the action sequences are hilariously bad with surprisingly dated CGI, and even the score (which might be the only decent component of this whole thing) makes a few scenes even worse. There's also a side story featuring Lara McDonnell (Officer Short) that's also poorly explored, but it's far more captivating than anything remotely close to Artemis. The latter is such an uninteresting character, one who I didn't care for a single second. I honestly can't figure out how Disney was able to put this out. Artemis Fowl is one of the worst feature films Disney has ever created, without a single doubt. There's absolutely no redeeming quality about it. As much as it hurts me to write this, Ferdia Shaw delivers one of the worst young performances I've ever witnessed, but the embarrassment is shared by everyone involved in this atrocious mess of a movie. It's genuinely baffling how bad it is. It holds an appalling screenplay, packed with annoyingly explicit exposition, ridiculous voice-over (sorry Josh Gad), and an excruciatingly massive amount of information that couldn't be fit in a three-hour runtime, let alone such a short one like this. No storyline is explored nor executed properly, no character is close to being remotely interesting, every action sequence is a visual disaster, and the attempts at comedy fall incredibly flat. Technically, it's as shameful as the rest: choppy editing, flawed cinematography, and surprisingly cheap VFX. The only minor positive might be Lara McDonnell, whose performance I think is pretty decent, but I cannot recommend this colossal misfire. Rating: F

10 day ago - I think that maybe if I had never read any of the Artemis Fowl books, then I would merely hate this movie. But I have read them, and that makes it even worse. There are multiple characters in this movie who are doing a bad Cookie Monster voice, and the character with the worst voice of them all (Josh Gagrid) is also the narrator somehow? A decision which was both 100% unnecessary and 1000% annoying. As I stated, I read the books, but I want to be clear that I don't believe this movie is just a bad adaptation of that series, it is, stand-alone, pure fucking nonsense. Nothing in this movie is good, obviously, but nothing in this movie is even... an event. There is no throughline or followable plot or engagement between the characters and the audience or each other. I loathed almost every single moment of _Artemis Fowl_ and I don't want to spend any more time talking about it. _Final rating:½ - So bad it's offensive. I may never fully recover._
Louisa Moore - Screen Zealots
1 day ago - In today's lecture titled "When Disney Films Go Wrong," I present "Artemis Fowl," a wholly unredeemable mess of a movie from director Kenneth Branagh. The studio dumped this trash heap on Disney+, and even the home streaming platform is far more than it deserves. There's very little magic in this CGI-heavy family film, and it's more of a yawn-fest than the engrossing adventure it obviously aspired to be. Based on the first two books in author Eoin Colfer's wildly popular children's fantasy series, "Artemis Fowl" tells the ho-hum story of adolescent criminal genius Artemis (Ferdia Shaw), an annoying kid who captures vicious fairy Holly Short (Lara McDonnell) at her underground world in an attempt to harness the magical powers needed to rescue his dad (Colin Farrell). There isn't much more to the plot than this, and the whole thing reeks of a grossly subpar "Harry Potter" rip-off. Even the story's narrator, the oversized dwarf Mulch Diggums (Josh Gad), is a dead ringer for Hagrid. The cast ranges from irritating and distracting (Shaw, McDonnell) to really talented actors who probably should've known better than to accept their roles for a Disney payday (Farrell, Gad, Judi Dench). The movie gets progressively worse as it sputters along and, just when you think the film can't sink any lower, a fabulously "wtf?!?" scene arrives where Diggums unhinges his jaw, scoops up dirt at a rapid pace, and poops it right on out of his rear end. To be honest, I'd rather have watched that scene on a loop for the full 94 minutes rather than this substandard junk.

4 day ago - Rubbish. There's really not anything good about 'Artemis Fowl', except for the decent score perhaps. The premise is terrible and poorly told, not helped by the fact it takes itself pretty seriously for much of the 95 minute run time. The pacing is off, while the effects are meh. The cast don't work any wonders. Nothing personal against Ferdia Shaw but he isn't good in the lead role, I thought his age-mate Lara McDonnell did alright as Holly though. I like Josh Gad but his role here is bad, his narration is particularly ropey. Judi Dench's Julius is irritating too, while Colin Farrell and Nonso Anozie are underused. A big misfire, unfortunately. Not the worst film I've ever seen though. They openly set up a sequel at the end, which I'd imagine won't be happening given the reaction to this - a situation like 2007's 'The Golden Compass' potentially.

Policies For Leave And Working Hours
By Anshul Prakash, Abhimanyu Pal And Kruthi N Murthy |
Employees are most productive when they achieve work-life balance that enables them to meet their responsibilities outside work. In order to ensure that they achieve work-life balance, the employment laws in India stipulate the working hours of an establishment, the categories of leave, the eligibility and duration of such leave. For optimum utilisation of resources and time, a policy in relation to the leave and working hours of the employee ("Policy") may be formulated by the employer. The Policy should set out the eligibility and requirements of working hours along with the form of leave available to the employees. The employment laws that govern the leave and working hours of the employees have been illustrated.
Governing Legislations with respect to Leave and Working Hours
The leave and working hours of employees employed in shops or commercial establishments are set out under the Shops and Establishments Act of the relevant state ("S&E Act"). Almost all the states in India have enacted their own S&E Acts which inter alia regulates the hours of work, interval for rest, opening and closing hours, holidays, overtime work, annual leave, sick leave, casual leave, accumulation of earned leaves, and, other conditions of employment. However, some states provide an exemption in relation to working hours, to the establishments engaged in the IT/ITeS sector. Further, in states such as Maharashtra, managerial employees working in an establishment are exempt from the applicability of the S&E Act. In Delhi, the managerial employees are exempted from the provisions of working hours under the S&E Act. Therefore, the employer may contractually agree to the number of leaves or working hours of the managerial employees in states which provide exemptions under the S&E Act.
Certain states in India have enacted their own Industrial Establishments (National and Festival Holidays) Act. An employer, whose establishment is situated in a state where the National and Festival Holidays Act has been enacted, shall be required to adhere to the provisions set out therein.
Employees working in factories, mines, building and other construction sites, and plantations are covered under separate legislations i.e. Factories Act 1948, Mines Act 1952, Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act 1996 and Plantations Labour Act 1951, respectively. These legislations govern the working hours of the establishment and the leaves that the employees are entitled to.
The Maternity Benefit Act 1961 regulates paid maternity leave entitlement and other related benefits for women employed in factories, mines, plantations, and shops or commercial establishments (engaging 10 or more employees).
Salient features of Leave Policy
Entitlement of leave: The Policy should clearly define eligibility, benefits and entitlements related to leave to ensure that the employees are aware of their leave entitlements.
Types of leaves and duration of leaves: As per the laws set out above, an employee has the right to avail certain types of leaves, and, it is the responsibility of the employer to ensure that the Policy categorises the leaves that employees are entitled to i.e. privilege/earned leave, casual leave, sick leave, maternity leave and national and festival holidays accordingly.
Procedure for leaves: The Policy should clearly set out the procedure for application of leave along with the details of the person who shall grant leave. Provision for leaves to be carried forward or encashed when not availed by the employee must also be included. The Policy may also set out the consequences of taking any unapproved leaves or taking any leaves over and above the specified limit.
Salient features of Working Hours Policy
Compliance for the Working Hours Policy: The employer must make sure the working hours in the Policy must comply with the legislations mentioned above, else he would be liable to face consequences for the same. The working hours, intervals for rest and days of work, must be clearly mentioned in the Policy to ensure efficiency and avoid any misunderstandings.
Adherence to the Working hours: The Policy should clearly state that the employees shall strictly adhere to the working hours of the establishment. To ensure that the employees are adhering to the working hours, the employer may set out an attendance procedure in the Policy to keep a check on the number of hours an employee works for.
Special Provisions for Female Employees: The Policy may set out other statutory and discretionary benefits for eligible female employees. For instance, besides the regular break allowed to all employees, a women employee who has delivered a child and has resumed work after the postnatal period, shall be entitled to avail additional breaks as prescribed under the Maternity Benefit Act 1961 ("Maternity Act"). The policy may also provide for the option to 'work from home' which is an enabling concept recognised under the Maternity Act.
To frame the policies for leave and working hours, the employer must ensure that the Policy is aimed at complying with the provisions of the applicable laws (as mentioned above). Every employee must be aware of the contents of the Policy and the Policy should be easily accessible to the employees at all times. The employees must be made aware of the leave and working hours Policy at the time of their joining. The employer may also get a confirmation from the employees in writing / electronically that they agree to the contents of the Policy.
Are you comfortable working with dispersed colleagues?

The 20 best Grime records ever made
Features I By Tom LeaI 22.04.12
Originally posted in 2011
Writing a 20 best feature, I presume, is always hard. This is the first one I've done, and it was a nightmare.
When it's a genre that you care about as much as I do grime, then picking records can be like choosing between children. I love Ruff Sqwad's 'Anna', 'Lethal Injection' and 'R U Double F' pretty much equally, but if you feature all three then you're killing the chance of other worthy tracks' inclusion. It's also hard because, inevitably, you run out of things to say. On page three of this piece, you'll see what I mean. Grime's often so much about instinct, feeling and physical catharsis, and instrumentally, is so powerful in its simplicity, that it doesn't always lend itself well to writing.
The other thing that makes it hard, is that writing a feature like this implies that the genre's dead. It's not. There's still great grime being made, and for the first time in several years, there's more than just a couple of labels putting it out on vinyl. But, I would argue that current grime doesn't bear much resemblance to the period I'm charting here (all records on this list, bar #20 were released between 2002 and 2007). This feature spans grime's evolution to a genre sold on vinyl from car boots and small, specialist record stores, to one focussed on mixtapes and UK Record Shop exclusives, to one dominated by YouTube and iTunes. But it is what it is. Music evolves – hip-hop left the vinyl format behind a while ago now, and its creativity has only grown as a result. Rather than a dismissal of grime's current state, this is intended as a celebration of one stage of its lifetime.
Quick disclaimer: as #1 here explains, I've taken Musical Mob's 'Pulse X' to be grime's year zero. So although Agent X's 'Decoy', More Fire Crew's 'Oi' and several others would fit in with the rest of this list in aesthetic, they came slightly too early for me to consider them for inclusion.
01: MUSICAL MOB 'PULSE X' (INSPIRED SOUNDS, 2002)
Things are never quite as straight-forward as one track starting a genre, but if there is a year zero for instrumental grime, it's 'Pulse X', a deconstruction of breakbeat garage down to its blackened foundations. It's nothing more than a 16-bar loop, rotating every eight from a straighter garage beat to a minimal snare and kick – but it's that twisted sense of minimalism that went on to inform 90% of grime productions from this era.
02 / 03: WILEY'ESKIMO' / 'ICE RINK'(WILEY KAT, 2002 / 2003)
'Eskimo' is the definitive grime riddim. Based around that hollow bass sound that would become Wiley's trademark and, like 'Pulse X', inform tons of later producers, it blew the door open for grime production to be whatever it wanted, while also creating its own micro-genre in the still influential eski.
Two years later, Wiley released 'Ice Rink'. Both the peak of another iconic Wiley sound palette and one of the most powerful instrumentals he ever made, there are countless vocal versions of it. The best though, is Wiley's 2006 revisit, 'Sorry Sorry Pardon What', which is both hype as all fuck and slightly tragic, as it's effectively Wiley having to cut and paste together the Wiley/Dizzee reunion that he's been obsessed with since they fell out in 2003.
04: DIZZEE RASCALBOY IN DA CORNER(XL, 2003)
In a list of 20 best grime songs, Dizzee could very easily take up half the list, so picking the album seems the smartest move. The first, and by a distance the greatest album from Britain's biggest black pop star, and just an exceptional, gut-wrenching record in every sense.
05: RUFF SQWAD 'R U DOUBLE F'(UNRELEASED)
Ruff Sqwad were like Roll Deep's little brothers in a way: both crews were from Bow, both had a trio of amazing producers at the core (Wiley, Target and Danny Weed for Roll Deep; Rapid, Slix and Dirty Danger for Ruff Sqwad), and they each had their breakthrough superstar in Dizzee Rascal and Tinchy Stryder.
There's an unbelievable romanticism to Ruff Sqwad though – even when they're talking about gats everything seems to be set at sunset, with the most evocative square-wave synths stretched across the skyline. 'R U Double F' is my favourite song of theirs, and appropriately for a group like Ruff Sqwad, who seemed to churn out new classic instrumentals every week only for them to be lost to the airwaves, it never came out, only available in radio rip form.
06: XTC 'FUNKTIONS ON THE LOW'(WHITE LABEL, 2004)
07: KAMIKAZE / TREBLE CLEF
'GHETTO KYOTE'
(WHITE LABEL, 2005)
Lo-fi instrumentals that sound like they're lost in the snow – grime's romantic side never quite came out like it did here. Widely unknown gems for years ('Funktions on the Low' was wrongly uploaded to Limewire as Ruff Sqwad – 'Havana' back in day, and so it's still often miscredited), both tracks have seen slight rediscovery over the last couple of years, with at least one of them penciled in for a reissue.
08: ALIAS'GLADIATOR'(ALIAS, 2003)
09: BIG$HOT
'STOMP'
Then on the other side of the coin, you have these two instrumentals, which are about as hard-bodied and lean as it's possible to get.
10: LETHAL B 'POW' (FORWARD RIDDIM)(RELENTLESS, 2004)
Released in late 2004, this was grime's biggest hit at the time. It charted at #11, and did so with absolutely zero compromise: there's no pop hook, just Lethal B shouting "pow", and at least 40% of the lyrics are about guns. It's so intense, in fact, that some clubs were infamously banned from playing it because of what it did to crowds.
Looking back at 'Pow' seven years on though, what's most striking is the video. It is absolutely ridiculous. The intro and the dancing is awkward enough, but the definite highlight is the use of props. Flowdan talks about his Nikes – we get a close-up of his trainers. Jamakabi says he's gonna hit you with his belt buckle, he holds up a belt. And the crowning moment: when Napper says he's gonna crack your skull, he holds up a skull. You just don't get that from UK hip-hop.
11: TERROR DANJAH feat. KANO & SADIE AMA'SO SURE'(WHITE LABEL, 2004)
Released the same year as 'Pow', these two anthems couldn't be further apart. Part of the unfairly short-lived "R'n'G" movement, Sadie Ama (younger sister of Shola, of 'Imagine' fame) was apparently only 15 when she sung this, which must wind her up now because I doubt she's done anything as good since. Mind you, neither's Kano.
12: JAMMER feat. WILEY, KANO, D DOUBLE E & DURRTY GOODZ'DESTRUCTION V.I.P.'(JAHMEKTHEWORLD, 2004)
The 'Rapper's Delight' of grime, complete with extended version.
13: N.A.S.T.Y. CREW'NASTY BONANZA'(HEATSEEKER, 2005)
14: ROLL DEEP
'WHEN I'M 'ERE' (WILEY REMIX)
(from AVENUE EP, RELENTLESS 2005)
15: GOD'S GIFT
'POW BACK'
(from UNDERGROUND VIBES VOL. 1)
One of the reasons grime needed to compromise to blow up as a genre (as opposed to having the odd shock hit), is because this era rarely suited conventional song structure. It's pirate radio cipher music, and it's best with a raw, simple beat and a ton of MCs passing the mic every 8 or 16 bars. The minute you put a chorus in, or an intro longer than 8 bars, you're just diverting that forward momentum.
All three of the above tracks are perfect examples of how you translate that kind of pirate energy to a three minute song; they're just these intense, self-contained whirlwinds that sweep you away. I was originally going to put Roll Deep's 'Poltergeist Relay' in instead of 'When I'm Ere', because the latter has a chorus, but it's still impossible to listen to Roachee's first verse without wanting to reload it.
Update: Joe in the comments section has uploaded a radio rip of 'Pow Back' here.
16: SKEPTA 'DUPPY' (BOY BETTER KNOW, 2006)
'Duppy' is on here first and foremost because it is a great tune, locating the perfect mid-point between grime's pirate radio cipher cuts and club-friendly garage and pushing it to anthem status. It's also on here because it's the high-point of Skepta's rise through grime's ranks – around mid-2005 he joined Roll Deep, and spent every Sunday night on Rinse with them until he was the most inescapable, and probably the best, MC in the scene (also check 'The End' and 'Soundboy Burial' from this period if you haven't heard them).
But for me, the defining thing about 'Duppy' is it marks one of the last genuine anthems from grime's white label heyday. When it finally came out on vinyl, there was such a buzz about it (I remember going to Rhythm Division the day it came out, and everyone was buying at least one copy), and I'm not sure that's existed for a vinyl release in grime since. It was around this time that the emphasis would fully shift away from vinyl and towards mixtapes.
17: SKEPTA'STAGESHOW RIDDIM'(ADAMANTIUM, 2007)
And this, for me, is the point where it was clear that that white label culture would never quite come back. 'Stageshow Riddim' was a huge tune for a while – an endlessly spiraling drum overdrive with about a dozen vocal versions (you can hear most of them in the medley above – I believe the only rule was that you only had one take, so most just tail off into the MC screaming), and its own specialist live show designed to be as mad as humanly possible.
The really great thing about 'Stageshow' was that it was the first big grime instrumental for ages that multiple MCs had done versions of. It felt like a throwback to the 'Ice Rink' days, and was crying out for a 'Ice Rink' style series of vocal EPs, but it never got it. The instrumental eventually came out about a year after the original tune surfaced, and no one cared at that point – it was all the proof needed that grime's priorities had totally changed.
18: WILEY'NIGHTBUS DUBPLATE'(from TUNNEL VISION VOL. 3, 2007)
Context is everything with this one. Ghetto, and his crew The Movement were on the rise, with a sound that owed a lot to hip-hop. Wiley, being the Godfather and self-designated protector of grime, hated this (brilliantly, one of his criticisms of them here is that "there's no pain in [their] camp / everybody's so happy"). So he went to war with them. Or they went to war with him. I'm not sure who started it.
Anyway, a series of disses went back and forth on Logan Sama's Kiss FM show, then Wiley dropped this and killed them. It's the old master coming back to show some young pretenders who's boss, and it's both furious and ridiculous, with Wiley talking about Ghetto's dead mate one moment, then dropping lines like "must be that same old kid from the dinner hall / primary, eating apple crumble and custard" the next. In a genre driven by competition, this is grime's best ever diss track.
19: DURRTY GOODZAXIOM EP(AWKWARD, 2007)
Durrty Goodz was grime's great major label tragedy, signing a deal with Polydor in 2005 only to be left on the shelf. In 2007, after leaving the label and watching his brother, Crazy Titch, get convicted of murder (Goodz was eventually acquitted in the case, after spending a year waiting for trial), he returned with Axiom, a mini-album that's devastatingly intense and emotional, with messages to Titch, fantasies of tearing major labels down from the inside, and in 'Switching Songs Pt. 2' [above], a phenomenal tribute to the genre he just couldn't leave.
20: TEMPA T'NEXT HYPE'(NO HATS NO HOODS, 2009)
Slew Dem Crew were quite divisive underground figures. With Chronik, Tempa T and the now deceased Esco on the frontline, they frequently appeared on Roll Deep's Rinse FM show, and depending on who you spoke to, were either a breath of fresh air or a jarring presence. None of that mattered in the end, because Tempa T cemented his status as a legend when he recorded 'Next Hype', a distillation of Slew Dem's breakneck energy into one of the most pure, exalting expressions of British urban frustration seen since Godflesh. For me, 'Next Hype' closes the period of grime that this feature deals with, and opens the next one that's currently so fertile.

Muslim Voters Are Considering Candidates' Records On War
Submitted by Hadmin on Mon, 01/27/2020 - 10:56

Thousands of Americans have protested nationwide after the U.S. air strike on Iran's top military general at the beginning of 2020 that was directed by President Donald Trump, current commander in chief. This air strike and current Middle East crisis could have an effect on many Muslims who are considering their favorite for the 2020 presidential election. A person that wins the election, a future commander in chief, is going to have the authority to affect relations between U.S. and the Middle East in the future. Maybe the next President will prevent any further conflict that could lead to a war. This is why Muslim American voters are considering candidates' records on war together with their policies and attitude towards Muslims.
Senator Bernie Sanders, Democratic presidential candidate, pointed out his vote against the invasion of Iraq as a crucial part of his record; pledging to do whatever he can to prevent war with Iran and further evolving of Middle East conflict. "We must do more than just stop war with Iran," Sanders said this month, as The Religion News Service Reports. "We must firmly commit to ending U.S. military presence in the Middle East in an orderly manner. We must end our involvement in the Saudi-led intervention in Yemen. We must bring our troops home from Afghanistan."
This is why Sanders is becoming a top choice for many Muslim American voters. He was one of only two Democratic presidential candidates, together with Julian Castro, to address the Islamic Society of North America Convention in August, the largest annual gathering of Muslim Americans in the country. According to The Religion News Service, Shabana Mir, an associate professor at the American Islamic College in Chicago, said that Senator Bernie Sanders' willingness to help curb America's global role and his "long and highly consistent record in domestic and foreign policy" have made him a top choice for her and many other Muslim voters.
Besides Sanders, other Democratic candidates have also won over Muslim voters through their policies and engagement. Former Vice President Joe Biden, for example, pushed the Obama administration to reduce troop levels in Afghanistan for years and now he has launched a volunteer-led Muslims for Biden affinity group. One of Biden's supporters is Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father of U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, who was killed during the Iraq War. Khizr Khan hosted Muslim events at mosques and around the country as a Biden surrogate.

Rubber Bands At Walmart
Walmart Inc., an American multinational retail company, is the owner of a chain discount department stores, hypermarkets and grocery stores. Walmart is headquartered in Bentonville, Arkansas. Walmart Inc. was founded in 1971 and has more than 60,000 employees. It is one of the largest private companies in the world. For more than five decades, the company has been a household name. While the name Walmart is recognizable worldwide, the company's stores are often referred to as "Supercenters."
Walmart's ethical practices, employee treatment and pay are the major issues surrounding it. Employees of the company earn low wages and don't make enough to support a family. The company's employees are under government social service programs, and its executives are paid astronomical annual salaries. But despite its widespread negative reputation, Walmart is still the largest retailer in the world. Any consumer should be concerned about the company's long-term success.
Sam Walton opened his first Walmart store in Rogers (Ark.) in 1962. Walmart has had a profound influence on American consumer behavior, despite its humble beginnings. The Walton family owns the company, with a combined net worth exceeding $238 billion. Walmart is today the largest grocery retailer in America. The Walton family holds over half of the company. Walmart stock is valued at $4 billion. However, the company has been subjected to increased competition from online retailers like Amazon.
The impact of Walmart on the economy is well documented. While its success has made the company one of the most successful retail companies in the world, it has also been criticized for contributing to urban sprawl and perpetuating low wages. Walmart employees earn less than the average retail employee because of its anti-union stance. The company's positive impact on the economy has also inspired other retailers to copy their business model. So, the question is: What's the impact of Walmart on local businesses?
The benefits of Walmart Plus membership are endless. Spend $35 to get same-day delivery. You can join Walmart Plus until December 4, 2020 without having to spend a minimum amount. During the same week, Walmart will debut the Walmart+ Weekend. Exclusive discounts will be offered to members at selected stores. The program is similar to Amazon Prime Day, but with a few added features. Walmart Plus is a great way to stay ahead in the e-commerce revolution if you are a regular Walmart customer.
Despite Amazon's growing reach, Walmart is still the largest retailer in the world, and will remain one of the biggest players for many years to come. Walmart has thousands of convenient hypermarkets all across the country and is well-positioned to leverage its loyal customers to remain competitive. Walmart will remain the number one shopping destination for shoppers, even if it isn't already. It's difficult to imagine a world without Walmart. The retail industry will be very interesting over the next few years. So, stay tuned and watch this competition.
In addition to its supermarkets, Walmart also operates discount stores. Discount stores are smaller versions of Walmart Supercenters. These stores have fewer associates but sell groceries and merchandise. Walmart Neighborhood Markets can be found in areas of approximately 38,000 square feet and have up to 95 associates. These stores sell groceries as well as a pharmacy. A variety of products are available at discount prices, including electronics, toys, and health and beauty aids.
In addition to a regular membership, Walmart offers a subscription service called Walmart Plus. With Walmart Plus, subscribers will get unlimited shipping and delivery of items, exclusive early access to Black Friday deals, and discounts at partner gas stations. Walmart Plus is a great alternative to Amazon Prime and other similar services. You can even sign up for Walmart's membership program with Chase Offers and Amex Offers. But before you join, make sure to read the terms and conditions carefully.
With Walmart+, members can save five cents per gallon at select gas stations and 10 cents at Exxon & Mobil and Murphy stations. Walmart Plus members get member prices at Sam's Club fuel centres. Walmart+ members must select the member prices in order to receive these discounts. When buying gas, Walmart Plus members can save up to 10 cents per gallon, and the gas price is typically lower than regular retail prices.
Walmart's history section contains information about mergers, acquisitions and expansions as well as new products. It also displays mergers and acquisitions as well as expansions and approvals. In January 2016, Walmart Inc. added Superconcentrates to three of its most popular cold brew coffees: Vanilla, Classic, and Mocha. In February 2017, Walmart Inc. joined forces with Getaway to create the Getaway experience. Walmart has seen five times its growth as a result of its strategic partnership to Getaway.

They worked with their regular frame shop and had the lady put the wood frame and peg board together. I then pulled a navy ribbon through the hangs on the back and tied it at the top - wanted a cute way to hang it on the wall. Then, they attached the metal baskets with peg board hooks. I love how they organized them - so cute to put in the useful items and also some cute items to accent!

Rouge Duty Free held a grand opening for its first store in St. Croix in March.
With the opening of its new stores in St. Croix, family-owned Rouge Duty Free now operates a dozen properties in the Caribbean – in St. Thomas, Grenada, Grand Cayman and St. Croix — reaching this milestone sooner than expected since it first started in the region in 2015.
"Our goal in the next three-five years is to be at 30 Rouge Duty Free stores," says Raymond Kattoura, whose company Duty Free & Travel Retail Group Inc. helps manage the business for Rouge Duty Free. Kattoura works with Marco Bordoni, who heads up the Caribbean and North American business for his family's Buenos Aires-based Perfumerias Rouge.
Kattoura tells TMI that Rouge is well on its way to reach this ambitious goal, as it has several new properties opening soon, as well as several others that will be announced next year.
"These are solid investments. We are not gambling," he says. "We study the market, see a need, and we invest. I know the Caribbean well, with its ups and downs; we are used to these challenges. It's nothing new. We had terrible hurricanes in the 80s and 90s, and later, and the region always bounces back in a year or so. The islands come back stronger, and the same with the cruise industry. COVID was different, but we will come back."
Kattoura admits that the Rouge stores were not affected as badly by the pandemic as many other island retailers.
"Except for our Grenada airport stores, which were closed for a short period of time, our local business grew. Since we focus a lot on the local customers, we saw an increase in traffic. Our walk-in customers more than tripled. We think this was because so many people were working from home, they discovered us. When they were at their 9-5 jobs, they didn't have a chance to see our stores. This was the segment that we gained and I think that it made a big difference."
Further helping the Rouge business, he says that due to the travel restrictions in place, many local residents were spending their money at local stores, doing much more local shopping.
"This was a surprise for us, but it shouldn't have been because our Rouge stores have always focused as much on locals as on tourists. And we do it very well, I think," he explained. "Since the tourists were missing during COVID, we were compensated very well from the local populations."
"We cater to duty free and local, and the local segment of the Caribbean market has purchasing power," he notes.

St. Croix – a smashing success
Rouge opened its first St. Croix store in Christiansted in Orange Grove Plaza. The luxury shop had a soft opening last December, followed by a gala "red-carpet" inauguration at the end of March. The store has the largest fragrance and skin care assortment on the island, along with a luxurious MontBlanc corner boutique, and a Furla handbags leather corner as well. It also houses a spa cabin for exclusive skincare brands Valmont and Cellcosmet.
"From day one of the soft opening this store has been a huge success. We were so encouraged by this success that when we heard of an opportunity to open another location in the heart of Christiansted's downtown Historic District, we grabbed it," he said.
Located on the city's famed Company Street in the former Sandal's mansion, the company is taking the Spanish-style historic site and renovating it into a Rouge Maison concept.
"This is something St. Croix will be able to use for tourism as well as for locals. We are converting the large backyard into a very nice, hip, café, serving light food, coffee, wines. Upstairs on the second level will be a small boutique hotel – with four really beautiful suites. And behind the backyard, Rouge is opening a big Spa, not just a cabin.
"In the boutique, the design will be similar to a Galleria, with fragrances on the right and skincare on the left, and specialized niches dedicated to select high-end brands around the store. These will feature some of the most luxurious names in beauty, as well as fashion, sunglasses, luggage and liquor," said Kattoura.
As a historic site, the house needs special restoration. The main floor has now been finished and Kattoura expects to begin installing fixtures and furniture shortly.
"We are looking at a partial opening for the fragrance area in December or January, with a Grand Opening maybe in March," he tells TMI. More work still needs to be done in the back, where an old Dutch oven needs to be restored, for example, using saved tiles and bricks.
"This Dutch oven will become the main bar of our café. We envision the cafe becoming a popular place to have a nice breakfast, lunch or snack for both tourists and local Cruzans," said Kattoura, who is very optimistic about the potential for the site.
"Our first store in St. Croix now ranks as Rouge Duty Free's #2 or #3 location, delivering numbers we haven't seen on the island since the 1980s," he reports.
Rouge's new Front Street store in Philipsburg, St. Maarten opened this month.
St. Maarten – potential times three
Kattoura is even more excited about Rouge's expansion into Dutch St. Maarten, where the company will be opening three stores this month, thus reaching 12 stores in the Caribbean. Two of the locations belong to the cruise port in Philipsburg. One shop is on the pier where the tenders from the cruise ships come in: "This store captures a lot of the cruise passenger traffic. It will be the first and last store that cruise passengers see," he noted.
The second port shop is on the other side at Bobby's marina, home of the Ferry to St. Bart and boats for the cruise excursions. It is like a little village with restaurants and shops.
"These two stores are heavy cruise business and very heavily trafficked," he says. "Cruising recently restarted in St. Maarten and the Port Authority expects it to reach more normal levels by November."
The third St. Maarten store is a high-end fragrance boutique in the center of Front Street. "This store is very elegant. It is next to a Michael Kors boutique, and Hot Looks, facing Longchamp and Ralph Lauren Boutiques. It is really in the center of action."
More openings on the horizon
A Moko Jumbie stilt walker helps Rouge celebrate Carnival in St. Thomas in July.
"I think that Rouge may be one of the only companies opening new stores now, but it is something that is encouraging for everybody. Plus, we are opening as an independent family-owned retailer, and our stores are really beautiful.
"We have eight stores open and operational now and all of these are profitable. We picked fantastic locations, and I am sure St. Maarten will be the same," he noted.
The Rouge expansion is far from finished. The company will be adding as many as eight more stores on three major islands to its portfolio in 2022 and 2023
It will also be expanding further in Grenada. Rouge is looking to add more doors in Port Louis, where its flagship there has grown out of its current space.
The company is also extending its product portfolio. After introducing liquor in its Grenada operations and will add it in St. Croix, Kattoura says that all future openings will carry wine and spirits.
"Liquor will be a focus for us this year. We are opening a new division, and in Grenada we are expanding into liquor distribution for hotels and restaurants."
"We are going to be a major player in this market, but are working hard to keep the unique feel of family-owned Caribbean duty free traditions," he promises.

Q: How to disable coreLocation in the iPhone simulator? How do you disable coreLocation on the iPhone simulator? I'd like to test some stuff but can't find a way to disable it.

A: Do it on the device. When the "Would you allowed this app to use your current location" message pops up, then press No. Then you should be able to test it. This message doesn't come up in the simulator

The Truth, the Myths and bogus " Hair Growth" products that are available There are many myths that should be understood as such.
Many companies make money from these myths, which is unjustified.
The picture is of a "Hair Growth" product that was for sale in 1902.
Instructions "Rub it into your scalp, brush the hair vigorously and in 3 months time you will have a full head of hair".
How many times have you seen similar adverts in the newspapers and on the web today? How do they manage to sell these products?! They do so because people who are losing their hair are very distressed and will naturally "grab at straws" when they are unable to find help for their distressing and often visible problem. The Truth is that there are a large number of people who suffer a temporary form of hair loss which rectifies itself in a few months. So it looks as though the pill or potion has worked wonders!
My hair is falling out, so I bought these pills/potions to treat it. It has not worked, why is that, they were very expensive?
There are some 50 reasons for hair falling suddenly. One pill or [potion can not cure all. The only answer is diagnosis. Once the reason for the hair loss is found, the cause of that loss must be treated, then in many cases the hair will stop falling. There may be a systemic health reason or scalp scarring disorder. If so this needs diagnosis in order to prevent it getting worse. Ignoring diagnosis and simply taking pills and potions will of course allow the condition to become worse.
A male with male pattern baldness had been using some " natural remedy" for his hair loss, it was not working.
There are only two products that have been clinically trialled and have been demonstrated to work in a large number of males in retaining existing hair or in some cases re-growing hair. That is it, there is nothing else. These products are Regaine generic name Minoxidil or Propecia generic name Finasteride. These have been fully clinically trialled and shown that they do exactly what they claim to do.
Natural products are the "in thing" nowadays. Natural is not always better, what of arsenic for example?
Leave the hair without washing it and it will self clean.
I once saw a person in my clinic that had not washed her hair for one year. Then she came to see me after three months of that annual shampoo. Her scalp was severely infected. The treatment was to first of all clear the foul smelling infection and then recommend washing the hair daily.
My hair dresser says that my colour did not take because I had been washing my hair with a product that contains silicones that protected my hair from the tint.
Again this is an historical argument for the failure of a tint to take. Very many years ago, when hair shampoos were in their infancy, they did add silicones. These were (by today's standards) somewhat crude in their formulation. These have not been on the market for at least 30 years. The shampoos do indeed contain silicones bur they are now very refined and come away readily, and certainly do not interfere with any chemical processing.

Review: All The Money In The World
Posted on February 8, 2018 by leoniekr
From Casablanca to A Christmas Carol, Ridley Scott's latest project was laced with hints of various influences and inspirations and yet, the story kept its intriguing tone throughout and enveloped me in edge-of-my-seat, nailbiting excitement.
Spoilers.
John Paul Getty III, favorite grandson of the richest man on earth, is kidnapped by a group of Italian lower-tier criminals and held for ransom of no less than 17 million dollars – initially. Hearing of this, oil magnate Mr. Getty Sen. is unimpressed, giving the press the 'we don't negotiate with terrorists/criminals' speech. Bowing to these kidnappers' demands once would do nothing but ensure that his other grandchildren would suffer the same fate, opening the door for any and all lowlifes to extract money straight outta Big G's pockets. Smart move, in my opinion, to claim that position in the public eye. Unfortunately, the old geezer's stance remains unchanged even in private and he entrusts his head of security, Fletcher Chase, with the task of saving Paul for as close to zero dollars as possible. Stingy bastard.
Two perspectives of the storyline are alternatingly unfolding:
On the one hand, we follow Paul's mom Gail as she maneuvers, with as much grace as she can muster, between getting her father-in-law to buy Paul's freedom and doing what she can to remotely ensure her son's safety through surveilled phone conversations with the kidnappers and attempts at acquiring a few millions herself.
On the other hand, we see Paul as he is being treated like barely a step above a stray animal during his months in captivity. Although he develops a strange kind of not-quite-friendship with one of his kidnappers, there was never a moment where one feels hopeful for Paul. Not during his escape attempts and certainly not while he is mutilated – a decidedly graphic scene not for the faint of heart, mind you.
Though certainly a plot-driven film, I immensely enjoyed the dialogue. After a slight initial cringe due to Paul's ill-fittingly and somewhat clumsily worded stint as narrator (that luckily didn't return as the story went on), I found myself chuckling at quite a few snappy retorts, especially the ones Gail dealt. Michelle Williams fit the role fantastically. She was able to convey a hurricane of frustration and fear behind a strong, at times even steady exterior. Simultaneously, one would never question her intentions or the love for her children. A well deserved Golden Globe nomination and clearly worth a lot more than Williams got.
Christopher Plummer's performance as Big G had my stomach twist with hatred and disgust. An entirely irredeemable villain, if I've ever seen one, whose aloof, greedy nature starkly contrasted the fragile, sickly man he was in his last waking moments. Certainly the ideal casting choice for Mr. Getty.
One actor who I think deserves much more recognition and praise is Charlie Plummer. The subtle ways in which he gave a glimpse into the makeup of Paul's character is incredible. A rich, spoilt teenager – that combination alone has 'defiance' written all over it. Which is why it makes so much sense that at first he believes to be invincible, insisting that he is able to 'take care of himself' as well as his later scoff of disbelief as his kidnappers suggest to take his ear off. He's not a cliché of a rich teenager, however, which is why we otherwise do see him cautiously respectful towards and completely terrified of his kidnappers. But what impressed me most was the profound yet delicate change in behavior between the first and last scene of the film. While his self-assuredness in the beginning seems more like a method to convince not only others but also himself of his confidence, his demeanor has substantially changed after everything he went through. Unfounded youthful fearlessness has turned into a more quiet certainty about what matters in his life and who can be relied upon and trusted. Moreover, he seemed to have found a more honest and thus unshakable sense of self but without losing his humorous and light-hearted personality, luckily.
Oh, and Mark Walberg was also not entirely awful.
All The Money In The World is based on true events that took place over several months. And while many horrifying and story-worthy things happened during that time, the movie was too lengthy. I was never bored watching it but there were certainly moments that could have been sped up. Twenty minutes less would not have subtracted from the excitement or the gripping atmosphere that persisted almost throughout – it would have enhanced it, if anything.
It is, at its core, a story about the corruptive power of wealth and that money can't buy happiness – we've heard it a hundred times before. However, in this day and age of rampaging capitalism with little regard for any worth beside the monetary kind (what even is a bitcoin?) it does good to once more be reminded of the value of life and love. Even if All The Money In The World lays it on a bit thick there in the end.
Overall an immensely enjoyable film that I will for sure see again. And I will definitely keep my eye out for more of Charlie Plummer's projects!

Data - meaningless or meaningful
Peaks came and went, and then Omicron arrived, smashing all "records"
What data might we have been looking at then? | R.L.
Andrew EdePalma11/01/2022 09:46
Once upon a time in the history of the pandemic, the "data" were comprehensible within the parameters of how the pandemic was. Up and down yo-yoed the daily numbers of cases, as did everything else.
Peaks came and went, and then Omicron arrived, smashing all "records", facilitating announcements of previously unheard-of numbers as though they were some peculiar trophy to hold aloft, and rendering the one-time comprehensible far less so.
Current data aren't meaningless, but nor are they meaningful. They can't hope to be when the pandemic dynamic has shifted as dramatically as it has. I share the frustrations of those with what the Balearic government, for one, produces under the banner of the "most relevant reference data" - the headlining daily numbers that conceal a great deal of explanatory data. One example - thousands of new cases per day; yes, and what is their actual health status, given the way in which Omicron has spread so widely and rapidly?
The Spanish government is now alive to the altered circumstances and to an abandonment of the daily head count in favour of more representative sampling. A sensible move, so long as changed reporting doesn't lose sight of what still remains a serious public health threat and needs to therefore be conveyed.
One doubts that this will be so, because for all that the parameters have moved, as one leading immunologist, Alfredo Corell, has put it - without vaccines, Omicron would have caused "a stratospheric massacre". What data might we have been looking at then?

New Deputy Fire Chief for South Yorkshire
South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Authority (SYFRA) has appointed a new Deputy Chief Fire Officer following an extensive recruitment process. Martin Blunden beat off competition from a strong field of external candidates to secure the position permanently, which he had been fulfilling on a temporary basis since January. Martin joined SYFR in April 2015 as Assistant Chief Fire Officer with more than 20 years experience across three different fire and rescue services, having started his career in Buckinghamshire in 1992. Martin, aged 49, is also the National Fire Chief's Council lead for national operational learning, helping to ensure that learning from incidents that firefighters attend is shared effectively across the sector.
He was recently appointed Chair of the UK Fire & Rescue Service football section. As part of his new role, Martin will be responsible for delivering the commitments set out in the service's Integrated Risk Management Plan 2017-20 and leading its collaboration work with other emergency service partners. Fire Authority Chair, Cllr Linda Burgess, said: "I would like to congratulate Martin on his appointment. The panel was particularly impressed with Martin's recent achievements in South Yorkshire, his vision for the future of our Service and his impressive experience from across the fire sector."

Some of you may remember my blog post "How to simulate a slow network (after all, QT_FLUSH_PAINT=1 doesn't work with Qt3)" from nearly two years ago.
to emulate a network connection across the loopback interface that is handicapped by a 20msec latency delay. (Of course you can use a different interface, like eth0 to slow down the connection there, and a bunch of many different parameter to fine-tune to your needs).
The "tc" command is part of the iproute(2) package available on most distros.
This morning I discovered a new tool that may help with the same scenario (which is: "I need to test some application to run across network links which are crappy, but I can't test it because my own network connection is excellent...." ). It is called "wanem" (for 'Wide Area Network Emulator') and available on Sourceforge.
wanem is a complete Live CD, Knoppix-based. It allows you to configure all parameters you want via a comfortable web interface: available max bandwidth, latency delay, package loss, -- if you want, with different setting for uplink and downlink.
Underneath wanem is the same "tc" commandline used that my previous blog posting dealt with. However, the web interface does allow you to set up the thing more easily, with hardly any prior in-depth networking knowledge. The drawback is that you need to run it on a machine of its own (but that does not need to be any very new and shiny hardware, as long as it boots the Live CD).
Best, if that machine has two separate NIC interfaces that you use to put the machine in between your test client and your test server application (but if you read the docu, it tells you how you can use it with a single interface as well).
I've not yet tested using the Live CD ISO image to boot a VMWare or a VirtualBox machine, and use that for testing, but it should work nearly the same. (You can at least be sure that you'll not get *better* network performance than the settings you're using, and you want to test the bad conditions anyway...).
wanem auto-creates a few shell scripts that run "tc" for you with the desired settings. You can save and re-use those scripts at any later time, without re-configuring the web interface anew. Very convenient.
wanem is the perfect tool for you, if you are *not* a guru when it comes to TCP/IP, networking, routing, proxying, firewalling, gatewaying and iptables commandlines, but if you nevertheless want to test your application's performance when using network connections of all kinds and qualities. (Yes, that could be some simple web application. Yes, that also includes KDE3 and KDE4 applications supposed to run over a network connections via NoMachine NX, FreeNX, NX Free Edition, VNC, LTSP, remote X11, fish, smbclient, 2X or X2Go [Heh, I already can see how now a few people out there will start to consult Google about a few of the strange abbreviations I used in the last sentence... :-) ] ).
BTW, wanem comes with some excellent documentation. I wonder why the download figure for the iso image (available since July 2007) is over 1000 while the main PDF document was downloaded less than 200 times. Is it still the same as it was many years ago already, that everybody starts installing and using an application first, without ever bothering to read the docu, and when the first problem occurs, just complain at a mailing list about it (without bothering to read the... oh, I said that already)?
Anybody ever tested compiz or kwin4 over the network?


Back on March 4, Audi's new R8 LMS GTS race car was unveiled for the 2016 GT3 racing season. Today, Audi has announced that customers can begin ordering the race car.
Already, the new R8 LMS has proven itself, winning an overall victory at the 24 Hours Nürburgring and two podium places at the Spa 24 Hours.
The car itself comes in weighing 755 lbs lighter than its predecessor thanks to an aluminum chassis and roll bar, putting its total weight at just 2,700 lbs. Taking advantage of this light weight is the V10 engine that produces up to 585 hp, depending on the regulations of the race.
If all of this sounds wonderful to you and you are in the mood for some real racing, courtesy of the Germans, the press release states that ordering of the race car is now live. It comes with a €359,000 (plus VAT) price tag (approx. $400,000 USD at today's current exchange rate).
