4 Hands Brewing Co. plans major production expansion and new beer garden
By Aurora Blanchard // October 31, 2022
4 Hands Brewing Co. is expanding its current location at 1220 S. Eighth St. in the La Salle Park neighborhood of St. Louis, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. In August, 4 Hands acquired the premises occupied by The Pump Shop with plans to use the interior spaces for manufacturing, warehousing and office space. The purchased outdoor area will be converted into a beer garden. The Pump Shop will be relocating for its own expansion.
Kevin Lemp, CEO and President of 4 Hands Brewing Co., had the idea of expanding the brewery years ago and partnered with St. Louis architecture firm CannonDesign to gain momentum. "We've been working on it for the last five years. That's why patience is so important. It takes so much time and capital to get things moving. It was a long way. We have a fantastic relationship with The Pump Shop and are very excited about their own opportunity to expand. We've worked so hard on this plan and we have a level of security knowing what our future holds," Lemp said.
There are two main reasons for the expansion: the first is to increase manufacturing efficiency, which allows for more experimentation and creativity. Second, there will be more space for brewery guests in the beer garden.
The expansion will allow 4 Hands to produce approximately 4,000 cases of product per day, four times what is now possible. It is vital for the company to keep up with the demands of the industry as it adds new innovations and products to be tested in the local market. "The expansion will allow us to grow as the market allows," said Lemp.
4 Hands has been operating in a 20,000 square foot facility for 11 years. The Pump Shop will give 4 Hands an additional 25,000 square feet to build a packing hall that will be used for canning, tanks, labelers and other manufacturing equipment. This space will also accommodate a new shipping and receiving area.
After its expected completion in 2024, the beer garden will probably offer 300 seats on an area of 47,000 square meters. The atmosphere of the beer garden will be traditional, with fairy lights, outside toilets and private alcoves, as well as open walkways. Lemp hopes to create a more inclusive atmosphere at the brewery and invites adults to bring their children and dogs to the beer garden. Guests can rent the beer garden for private events.
"We are very focused on building a family-friendly environment. We already have an arcade room up in the second floor common room for kids that was actually inspired by my own kids. We also have a lot of dog parents at the brewery and we want to make room for them," Lemp said.
Part of the expansion will bring more big tanks for efficiency and small tanks for innovation, and 4 Hands will be able to offer more variety. The brewery will offer the same number of beers on tap (16 draft offerings on the first floor and 24 offerings on the second floor), but the flavors will rotate more regularly. Guests also have access to more exclusive small series releases.
In spring 2023, 4 Hands will add a gin garden to its parking lot. As with a farm-to-table concept, herbs are grown on the property to be used in the small-batch gin production for sister brand 1220 Artisan Spirits. Before that, however, a new year-round gin called Zenpo is slated to launch in December.
As always, 4 Hands will be launching 14 seasonal beers. However, eight of those 14 will be completely new by next year. Due to the popularity of seltzer at 4 Hands, there will also be new seasonal seltzer offers next year. "It was an explosive category for us and we don't want to be like White Claw," Lemp said. "We want to be a little whimsical and nostalgic."

Peacemaker Lobster & Crab Co., owned by Kevin Nashan, will continue to act as the food service provider at 4 Hands and serve the beer garden patrons when it opens to the public. The fast-casual service style is also said to remain unchanged.
Lemp's vision is to beautify the I-44 corridor at the intersection of South Seventh Street. Windows renovation and painting of the outside of the brewery is scheduled to begin this week.
"We are part of the La Salle Park neighborhood and very passionate about our neighbors. From the street level we will be able to present some nice graphics to the community. The neighborhood has been very supportive so far. We're still making plans to do more for the neighborhood and it's really about having an open conversation. We're grateful to have this relationship with La Salle Park," Lemp said.
During the renovation of the brewery, no neighboring operation will be interrupted, suspended or temporarily closed. This project will be carried out in waves, with an initial investment of $1.2 million in manufacturing facilities. The new storage, office and production areas are expected to be completed by June 2023.
4 Hands is actively trying to start a Community Improvement District or CID but nothing has been confirmed. The CID would add an additional 1% to the sales tax for 4 Hands guests to fund maintenance, free parking and landscaping to beautify the property.
The sales area, taproom and tasting area will remain unchanged. 4 Hands will start offering tours once the expansion is complete. The opening hours of 4 Hands will remain the same after the expansion: Monday to Thursday 12 noon to 10 p.m., Friday 12 noon to 11 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday 12 noon to 8 p.m.

Why You Should Stop Chasing Perfection and What to Do Instead.
In existence, who amongst men have attained perfection?
If you haven't thought about that question before, I suggest that you give it a minute or more; especially if you are one of those called perfectionists.
Even if you don't think that you are a perfectionist – because most people won't agree that they are – this will help you understand the myth of perfectionism with regards to achieving your goals or purpose in life.
You see, the truth is you don't have to be perfect to succeed in life because history is made up of imperfect men whose achievements still hold the world in awe.
Benjamin Franklin the world's most influential advocate for self-improvement, was a womanizer as reported by The Chicago Tribune.
It was even said that he fathered a son out of wedlock, but Franklin's lust didn't destroy his impact because he recognized his problem and admitted it.
Albert Einstein was also an imperfect man despite possessing a great I.Q. Einstein lacked a relational discipline causing him to divorce after ten years of marriage to marry his cousin – Elsa.
He admitted that he couldn't be a perfect husband even though it was his wish but it didn't deter him from succeeding in other areas of his life.
Let me say again, you do not have to be perfect to do great things, achieve your purpose or succeed at anything in life – you only have to be good enough because perfection is a myth.
So Why do Men Chase Perfection?
Perfection is an idealist point of view to life where we build a world in our imagination and want it realized. We want to please everyone so that we become likeable.
We want wealth, good health, peace, less stress and all the good things of life with ease.
We want to be the one who knows it all. We want everything at home to be spanking clean, in short, we want to be an example of a perfect gentleman or lady.
Wake up my friend, you will never be perfect and you don't have to be to achieve greatness in life. No.
Walt Disney was brilliant but he smoked too much and we could say that was his imperfection.
Yet, these men achieved greatness.
I do not mean that men should not strive to be better at every area of their lives, and neither do I mean that bad habits should be harboured. I am only saying that while we go about our journey in life, we should not focus all our energies on trying to be perfect or waiting for the perfect time before attempting to do great things.
Stop trying to be perfect because the brutal truth is that you will never attain perfection – not in this life, but you will be good enough and can even be great.
Focus instead on perseverance and let nothing beat you on your journey to greatness.
If you admit your weaknesses and commit to your goals in life, you will also achieve greatness like every imperfect man who has been great.
This is another great nugget from a "trusted" source. Every point made here is indisputable and will seize this moment to thank Snr Oluyede for making this platform available to the world.
everything is possible, provided you don;t give up or lose your dreams. I think back to the days of Tiscali Broadband sales, then to the next thing, and the next, and then next, then something better, stronger, richer and awesome.
Thank you for the kind words, Debo. We shall keep going forward.
Thank you, Felix. I appreciate you.

Plenty of water is vital for healthy growth and cropping. When a plant goes short of water it stops growing and often starts to go to seed prematurely (bolting) - or just dies.
For healthy, strong growth and the highest yields of the best crops your plants will need a constant supply of water at the roots. As a result, watering in summer is often necessary. Plants growing in containers are almost totally dependent on you to supply water, and you may have to water some container crops once or even twice a day in summer to prevent them drying out.
The aim should be to keep the soil or compost evenly moist - soaking dry soil can result in some crops splitting and becoming unusable.
Seeds and seedlings are the most critical stages for many plants, so make sure seed beds and seeds sown in containers are kept moist while plants are establishing. Always use fresh tapwater for this, for water stored in waterbutts may contain pathogens (such as germs and bacteria) that could affect seedling growth.
Some crops - such as the greenhouse crops and runner beans - and most seedlings will suffer a shock if watered with cold water, so allow it to reach ambient temperature before using.
If water is in short supply then use it on the following crops: peas, beans and sweet corn when they are in flower; potatoes when they are producing their new tubers; large, leafy crops before they start to wilt.
To get the most from your crops you will need to provide a constant supply of nutrients. Adding compost and even well-rotted manure to the soil will only add small amounts nutrients; they are mainly used to improve soil structure.
Feeding with a fertiliser will usually be necessary. For most crops, add a general fertiliser a week or so before seed sowing or planting out. You can use growmore (a balanced, general-pupose fertiliser formulation) or, if you garden organically, blood, fish and bonemeal.
Some crops will need additional light feeds throughout the growing season, and this is usually best given as a liquid feed. For leafy crops this should be a balanced feed containing equal amounts of all the major nutrients. For fruiting crops, you should change to one that is higher in potash - such as a tomato fertiliser - to improve the quantity and quality of the fruit.
Plants growing in containers will be totally dependent on you to supply nutrients. Most growing media contain enough nutrients to sustain five or six weeks of growth, but after that time will need feeding. You can either feed weekly with a liquid feed or add a controlled-release fertiliser to the compost at planting time.

You can also make a favorite an alert. In this example we create a low margin report against products.
To do this, click on advanced search and pick a criterion for measure. In the video we have selected the 'measure' to be 'local margin %' and the 'period' to be 'rolling 12 months'. We have set the margin to be less than 15%. We then add another rule, we select the 'measure' as 'local value' and the period is the same, 'rolling 12 months'.
This alert has been set for all products over $50,000 with a margin of less than 15%. We apply the rule and find 50 products that fit this alert.
To save as an alert, we turn into a chart. We then save as a favorite using the star button and find "low margin alert" on the home screen.
Understanding your data is powerful. With real-time access to the exact data you need, you make the best strategic, tactical, and operational decisions.

How to Buy Stock on Xetra
The Deutche Borse is where Xetra got its start.
Thomas Lohnes/Getty Images News/Getty Images
1. How Does High Frequency Trading Work?
2. What Is Night Trading?
3. Simple Explanation of Stock Market
Global investing makes sense. It provides diversification in your portfolio, which can protect your money from problems in individual countries. It also allows you to take advantage of growth in emerging economies. Xetra is an electronic trading platform that started on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange's Deutsche Borse and links the Irish, Viennese, Bulgarian and Shanghai Stock Exchanges and the European Energy Exchange to make it a key part of global trading.
Xetra Facts
Since its inception in 1997, Xetra has grown to daily service as many as 100 million transactions in approximately 900,000 international securities. Licensed securities brokers from all over the world can place orders for equities, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), exchange-traded commodities (ETCs), exchange-traded notes (ETNs), warrants and certificates, mutual funds and subscription rights. A totally electronic trading system, it offers centralized trade clearing through Eurex Clearing AG. Its system services 250 financial institutions and securities brokerages, with 4,500 traders in 18 countries, making it one of the fastest and most efficient trading systems in the world.
International Brokerage Firms
To trade securities listed on Xetra, apply for a brokerage account at a brokerage firm that provides international trading. Most of the major brokerage firms provide international trading to their clients, online or through their branch offices. Search online for international securities trading firms and, before you open an account, check to see if the firm offers the Xetra-traded securities you are considering. The process for entering a buy or sell order for securities traded on Xetra should be similar to what you are used to when placing orders on U.S. exchanges. However, you might be limited to day orders only, rather than being able to enter good-until-cancelled orders and other order strategies, so ask your broker about any differences to expect.
Trading International Securities
If you are a beginning investor, or not experienced in international investing, keep in mind that foreign securities are regulated differently than those in the United States. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission lists currency fluctuations, lack of liquidity, lack of information and differences in market operations as things to consider when you invest. You might also find that the shareholder rights you are accustomed to in the U.S. are different under foreign legal systems. Although the securities exchanges serviced by Xetra are well-established and domiciled in relatively stable economies, you might not understand the social, political and economic forces at work in those countries -- forces that affect the trading of their securities.
Similar to Nasdaq
The U.S. domiciled National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quote system is similar in concept to Xetra because it is an electronic trading platform that differs from physical exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade. Trading is accomplished on both virtual exchanges through computers that link to brokerage firm traders and market makers, rather than transacting orders on a physical exchange floor.

HBO Go and HBO Now Will Disappear From Amazon Fire TV on July 31st
29 jul. 2020 14:41 GMT-6 – Jason Gurwin
With the launch of HBO Max, WarnerMedia added to the already confusing number of ways to access HBO content. Before launch, those that got cable through HBO could access content using HBO Go. However, those who bought it directly from HBO (or a streaming provider like Hulu) could access it via HBO NOW.
In order to simply the experience, WarnerMedia announced that going forward there will be simply two apps: HBO and HBO Max. HBO Go will be officially sunsetted on July 31st, while HBO Now will be referred to as "HBO".
But, for Fire TV users will be out of luck. That's because those familiar with their current deal says WarnerMedia's deal with Amazon to carry HBO Now expires on July 31st.
So, starting on July 31st, you won't be able to access HBO Go, HBO Now (rebranded HBO), or HBO Max on Fire TV devices.
What does that mean if you want to watch HBO content on Amazon Fire TV?
Those who subscribe to HBO through Amazon Prime Video, will still be able to access HBO content in the Prime Video App. If you get it from your cable or streaming provider, you will be able to watch HBO content using their apps, but you still won't be able to watch new "Max" content like "Friends" and Max Originals like "Love Life."
For those with Roku devices, where the HBO App will continue to exist, we found a quick workaround that will let cable and satellite subscribers use their credentials to access HBO NOW on Roku and Amazon Fire TV. For this to work, your cable or satellite service must include HBO Max in your subscription.

If you own a swimming pool or travel to the lake or ocean during summer you probably have seen pool floats being used. Pool floats are floating mattresses made from buoyant materials. Since 2003 we have been offering pool floats from different manufacturers and we often receive questions from customers on how to make a choice. This guide will help you understand different pool floats and hopefully decide what suits your needs best.
Choose a type of pool float. Pool floats are available in three main categories: foam, inflatable, and canvas. They all serve the same purpose but there are pros and cons for each choice.
Foam pool floats are made with closed cell synthetic foam. While choosing a foam pool float, consider the thickness and size of the float.The thicker the float, the more buoyant it will be.
Not easy to store during off season.
Vinyl covered foam floats tend to crack and peel after a few years.
Inflatable Pool Floats: These are vinyl products that are inflatable and are widely available.
Easy to transport and take with yourself on vacations.
Available in many sizes and shapes.
Light in Weight. Easy to carry.
Hard to fix if punctured.
Canvas Pool Floats: This category is the newest of our floats. Canvas pool floats are made with 100% acrylic fabric and have buoyant beads inside. They look like beanbags that float.
Very comfortable to lie on.
Can be used in and out of the water.

Case study – Using Estate Inventories
In Winterswijk, Gelderland in 1754, Jan Hendrik Hilbelink was a widower with four young children, who wanted to marry again. Before being allowed to do so, he had to come to an agreement with the guardians of his minor children. He made an estate inventory of all the possessions of him and his late wife, Aaltjen Vriesen. Their children would be entitled to her half.
The inventory consists of the following items:
1 piece of farm land
cooking tools (pots, baking trough, sifs)
farming tools (spades, pitchforks, wheelbarrow, milking tools, plow)
buckets of buckwheat, flax
livestock: 2 horses, 8 cows, 1 pig, 8 chickens
outstanding debts: 40 guilders to misc. unnamed people
ingoing debts: 30 guilders from misc. unnamed people and 590 guilders in dowry.1
What can we learn from this inventory? What assumptions can we make about the widower and his late wife? How can we test these assumptions?
Analysis of the inventory
The first thing we notice is that Jan Hendrik Hilbelink was probably a small farmer: he owned some farm land, farm tools, and livestock. Most people in Winterswijk were farmers, so that makes sense. But what is most informative about the inventory is what is not there.
The absence of a farm or house tells us that the couple did not own their farm. That was quite common in Winterswijk, where most people were either tenants or serfs. If Jan Hendrik and Aaltjen were serfs, there could have been a heriot [death duties owed to the lord of the manor] listed in the debts to be paid. Since most farmers were tenants, and there is no mention of a heriot, Jan Hendrik and Aaltjen were probably tenant farmers.
Another notable absence is furniture: they only owned two chairs. No table, no bed, no bedding, no cups, no plates, nothing. Neither is there any mention of clothing or jewelry. That tells us that they probably did not have their own household, but lived with someone else who provided everything they needed.
The inventory even gives a clue as to whom they might be living with. The debts owed to the estate include a 590 guilder dowry. This has to be the dowry brought by the deceased wife, since her children would not have been entitled to the new wife's dowry. 590 guilders was a large sum, especially for a couple with so few possessions. That suggests that Aaltjen's parents had agreed that she could take over the farm, and that the contents of the farm would be her dowry. The dowry had not been paid yet, despite the fact that Jan Hendrik and Aaltjen had four children so must have been married for a while. This suggests that the parents were still living and had not yet turned over the farm to Jan Hendrik and Aaltjen.
Testing these assumptions
Reading between the lines of the inventory, analyzing what is there and what isn't, allowed us to form a theory about their circumstances. We think Jan Hendrik Hilbelink and Aaltjen Vriesen were tenant farmers, living with Aaltjen's parents. Whenever we make assumptions like these, we try to test them using other evidence.
As it happens, there was a special tax levied in 1748, just six years before this inventory: the Liberal Gift. The tax register includes a listing of all the people in the household, so acts like a census.
It shows the following people in one household:
Harmen Vriesen married to Hinders has three children, two over 16 years.
Jan Hendrik Vriesen married to Aeltjen has 1 child.2
A draft version of this register lists the ages of everyone in the household:
Harmen Vriesen 48
Wife Hinders 51
Young man Jan Hendrik 28
Wife daughter Aaltien 22
Sister Janna 16
[ditto] Stijne 13
Son Jan Willem 1.3
Together, these two versions of the register show that Jan Hendrik married Aaltjen, the daughter of Harmen Vriesen and Hinders, and that the couple lived with her parents. It shows she only had two younger sisters and no brothers, which explains why she was in a position to take over the farm. People in the eastern part of Gelderland and Overijssel used farm names, so Jan Hendrik Hilbelink was called Jan Hendrik Vriesen in the register, after the farm he lived on.
A subsequent inventory from 1767, after the widower died, shows he still lived on the Vriesen farm. By that time, he had received the furniture and other household items and was no longer owed a dowry. His widow agreed that his eldest son from his first marriage would take over the farm. The inventory includes a debt to the Hijink family.4 A 1771 tax record shows that the Hijink family owned the Vriesen farm.5 The debt must have been the rent that was due, showing that the Hilbelink/Vriesen family were indeed tenants, which explains the lack of real estate in the inventories.

CANADA – Update of the Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist
15 December, 2021 By Maria Cid
In October 2020, Health Canada proposes to update the Cosmetic Ingredients Hotlist with new restrictions and prohibitions.
The Canada Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist includes those substances that, when present in a cosmetic, may violate the general prohibition found in section 16 of the Food and Drug Act (FDA) or a provision of the Cosmetics Regulations. In addition, the Hotlist communicates that the presence, or use under specific conditions, of certain substances may make the product unsuitable for classification as cosmetic according to the FDA.
The list consists of two separate tables, one for ingredients identified as prohibited and one for those identified as restricted.
It is proposed to review the restrictions of the following cosmetic ingredients:
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids
Peroxide and peroxide-generating compounds
p-Hydroxyanisole
It is also proposed to add Ethylhexyl Ethylhexanoate and Azelaic acid and its salts to the list of restricted ingredients.
On behalf of the prohibited ingredients, it is proposed to review the already included in the list, Retinoic acid, to clarify that its derivatives and salts are reflected in the entry.
Check the Hotlist update proposal at the link.

Brighton Newcomers, Safe to Swim, have been making big waves since supporting The Night Cafe, BLOXX and Anteros. Gigslutz caught up with the band to discuss their brand new single, their inspirations and their backgrounds.
Firstly, what is the story behind the band? How did you meet?
STS: A few years ago I moved from Georgia, the USA to Hertfordshire and then to Brighton in search of a band to collaborate with. Eventually, I befriended George Rawlings (Guitar), George Ingledew (Bass) and Joe Dennis (Drums) over a shared interest for bands such as The Strokes, Pixies, The Cure and a desire to be part of the local music scene. We decided to form a band under the name, Safe To Swim.
Can you tell us the story behind your latest single 'Friends', which came out in November 2018?
'Friends' is about losing a loved one. It was inspired from speaking to a couple of my friends who had tragically lost someone very close to them. Based on what I was told, the song was born.
Usually, if I write a song that is good enough, I will make a demo of it and send it to the band. We can then bounce ideas off of each other.
Is Brighton an important place for you to play?
It is because we have got so many friends there and we know every venue inside and out. Always feels like we can chill out with Brighton shows. It's cosy. But other than that, it is just like anywhere else.
I think Brixton Academy is definitely at the top of our bucket lists. Or the Radio 1/ NME tent at Reading Festival. At least one of those and I can die happy.
Everyone from Lou Reed to Destiny's Child. For a more detailed insight, you can head over to our 'Safe Foundations' playlist on our Spotify which we update regularly.
What're your plans for the next 12 months?
Next up we've got some more releasing to do!

Loeffler and Perdue Slam Sec. of State for Not Releasing Newly Registered Voters List
Home /NEWS/Loeffler and Perdue Slam Sec. of State for Not Releasing Newly Registered Voters List

Georgia Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler ripped GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger for failing to provide "transparency, accountability, and accuracy" to the election process after he didn't release a new list of newly registered voters. The two Republican senators were alarmed by Raffensperger's actions as threats of ineligible voters attempting to cast ballots in the Georgia run-off election continue. The GA Secretary of State said the senator's campaign offices "already have the data."
Multiple organizations are already being investigated by Raffesnperger's office for seeking to register ineligible voters. Many Democrats have also threatened to move to Georgia in order to vote in the upcoming Senate run-off election to help Democrats gain a majority in the Senate. The move is illegal and those who temporarily move to cast illegal ballots can face jail time and thousands of dollars in fines.
The Daily Wire reports:
The statement from Perdue and Loeffler read:
It's been one week since the voter registration deadline passed and the secretary of state has failed to compile and release a final list of newly registered voters. This is totally unacceptable – the deadline for new voter registration was Dec. 7, 2020. In-person early voting starts today, and the public remains without a full accounting of who is registered and who may attempt to cast a ballot in the runoff. This lack of transparency needs to be rectified immediately, or the integrity of our elections will remain threatened. Georgians demand transparency, accountability and accuracy in our elections process – and the secretary of state is failing to provide it in a timely manner.
In response, Raffensperger's office released a statement Tuesday reprimanding the senators and noting that the National Republican Senatorial Committee has confirmed that their campaign offices "have those lists"
"Though I've told the Republican Party to stop focusing on me and instead direct their energies to winning the Senate runoffs, clearly they haven't listened," said Secretary Raffensperger. "As embarrassing as it is for Sens. Perdue and Loeffler not to know that the data they want is already publicly available from the Secretary of State, it's even worse that they're not aware their own campaigns already have the data they're looking for. Early voting has already started but it's not too late for them to call their offices and get their campaigns in order."
An organization founded by failed GA gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and chaired by Democrat Senate challenger Raphael Warnock is currently being investigated by Raffensperger's office. The organization has allegedly sought to "aggressively" register ineligible or deceased voters to secure control of the Senate.

When light hits Barbara Campbell's eyes, it triggers no response in her retinas, and no signals flash up her optic nerves to her brain. A genetic disease killed off her retinas' photoreceptor cells, leaving her completely blind by her 30s. But where her body failed her, technology rescued her. In 2009, at the age of 56, Campbell had an array of electrodes implanted in each eye, and she now makes her way through the world more confidently, aided by bionic vision.
Her sight isn't fully restored, not by a long shot, but the darkness has been replaced with rough shapes and patterns of light and dark. "The building where I live has a large light at the entranceway outside," says Campbell, who lives in New York City. "I hadn't been able to see that light in 16 years. Now, when I'm walking down the block, I can look up and identify the building."
The devices in Campbell's eyes come from Second Sight Medical Products. After 13 years of product development, the company's Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System is now hitting the market. In 2011 the company won regulatory approval in Europe [PDF], and eye surgeons there are just beginning to perform the implants. This year the Los Angeles–based company hopes to get approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as well. "I didn't think it would take this long," says CEO Robert Greenberg, "but it's finally real."

With an ever-expanding population of Online MBA students, it's not surprising that distance MBA programs seem to be sprouting up every day. Today we would like to add four to the list.
We are pleased to announce that Framingham State University (FSU), University of Louisville (UofL), and University of North Carolina, Greensboro (UNC Greensboro or UNCG) now offer Online MBA programs. Also worth mentioning is the launch of a unique Executive Doctor of Business Administration (EDBA) at the University of North Alabama (UNA)—a school with the largest Online MBA program in the state.
Framingham State University has announced the launch of a fully Online MBA program designed for working professionals who do not have the flexibility to travel to campus. In a Framingham Source report about the launch, Program Director Dr. Steve Moysey said, "We are excited to offer this new track to the business community. We know there is a lot of demand for fully Online MBA programs." In exploring new ways to make the school's top-rated MBA program more convenient and flexible for students, "developing a fully online option to complement our blended hybrid program was a natural step in that process," Moysey said.
Courses for the online program will begin this fall on a cohort-basis. Courses will be offered on an accelerated 8-week timeline and students may complete the FSU Online MBA in as few as 24 months.
University of Louisville has announced the launch of a new Online MBA, with classes beginning this fall. Offered through a collaboration between UofL's College of Business and Delphi Center for Teaching and Learning, the program offers students the opportunity to customize their degree by choosing one of the school's industry-based certificates that the school says, "focus on the unique expertise required by local industries." Just a few options include Cybersecurity, Data Science, Franchise Management, and Transportation Engineering.
Although the program is offered 100% online, it includes an optional 10-day international study trip that provides the opportunity to "cultural immersion activities and business visits with varying companies and industries." Other program highlights include innovative electives, excellent faculty with extensive industry experience, and access to the program from anywhere in the world.
The new UofL Online MBA may be completed in just five semesters, or less with dual-status.
University of Louisville was established in 1798 as Jefferson Seminary. The school serves around 22,640 students enrolled in more than 200 degree programs through 12 schools and colleges. The University of Louisville is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award associate, bachelor, master, specialist, doctoral, and first-professional degrees (D.M.D., J.D., M.D.). The UofL College of Business is separately accredited by AACSB International (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business).
The 42 credit hour program will offer optional concentrations in high-demand areas such as Business Analytics, Cyber Security, Finance, Information Technology, International Business, Marketing, and Supply Chain Management.
Classes for the Online MBA program at UNCG Bryan begins this fall.
University of North Carolina Greensboro was established in 1891. The school serves approximately 20,106 students enrolled in hundreds of programs through eight colleges and schools. UNCG is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools/Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). One of the largest business schools in North Carolina, The Bryan School holds dual accreditation in business and accounting from AACSB.
In a recent report by The Flor-Ala, UNA Director of Communications and Marketing Bryan Rachal said, the decision to launch the program "is the result of extensive market research, faculty feedback and support, and shrewd financial planning over a number of years." The University is "the university is experiencing an increased demand for its online degree programs, particularly at the graduate level and will continue to prioritize and develop them accordingly," he said.
The new EDBA will take three years to complete, with most graduates expected to progress in the corporate world, rather than pursue careers in academia. The program is on track to launch in fall 2020, pending all requisite approvals.
Founded in 1830 as LaGrange College, the University of North Alabama was the first state-chartered college in Alabama. The school serves nearly 7,000 students enrolled in more than 100 undergraduate and graduate degrees through five schools. UNA is accredited by the SACSCOC. The College of Business is AACSB-accredited.

Clifden (Irish: An Clochán, meaning "stepping stones":14) is a coastal town in County Galway, Ireland, in the region of Connemara, located on the Owenglin River where it flows into Clifden Bay. As the largest town in the region, it is often referred to as "the Capital of Connemara". Frequented by tourists, Clifden is linked to Galway city by the N59.
The Monster Meeting at Clifden in 1843 by Joseph Patrick Haverty. Daniel O'Connell is depicted in the center addressing the gathered masses.
Clifden gained prominence after 1905 when Guglielmo Marconi decided to build his first high power transatlantic long wave wireless telegraphy station four miles (6 km) south of the town to minimize the distance to its sister station in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. The first point-to-point fixed wireless service connecting Europe with North America opened for public service with the transmission of 10,000 words on 17 October 1907. At peak times, up to 200 people were employed by the Clifden wireless station, among them Jack Phillips, who later perished as Chief Radio Operator on the Titanic.
On 15 June 1919 the first non-stop transatlantic flight by Alcock and Brown crashlanded in Derrygimlagh bog, close to Marconi's transatlantic wireless station. When Captain Alcock spotted the green bog he thought it was a meadow where he could safely land his Vickers Vimy biplane. The plane's landing gear sank into the soft bog and was destroyed. Alcock and Brown were later transported back to Clifden town by stage coach with only minor injuries. When they returned using the Marconi Railway, the locals had helped themselves to parts of the plane as souvenirs.
The N59 road from Galway (77 km away) to Westport, County Mayo (64 km) passes through the town.
Regular coach services are provided by Bus Éireann and Citylink, connecting Clifden with Galway city. Some bus services operate through Oughterard, to the south of Lough Corrib, while others operate via Clonbur / Headford to the north of Lough Corrib.
Beginning 1 July 1895, Clifden railway station was the western terminus of the Midland Great Western Railway Galway to Clifden line. The line closed in 1935.
In 1989, a group of Clifden businessmen issued shares for a company and applied for planning permission for a 1,200 metre runway and associated buildings at Ardagh. A group of locals began to campaign against this proposal, later calling themselves "Save Roundstone Bog". Galway County Council refused planning permission for the airport due to feared damage to the natural beauty of the area, and because it was designated an 'Area of International Scientific Importance' (ASI). The 'Clifden Airport Co.' appealed and as a consequence of the legal proceedings, which went all the way to the Supreme Court, ASI designations were found to be unconstitutional.:57 The company later proposed to exchange the site at Ardagh for part of the Marconi site at Derrygimlagh. However, this also failed due to local and nationwide opposition. Eventually, a smaller 600 metre runway was suggested at Cloon near Cleggan.:59 This runway was built in 2008 and the airfield was supposed to be used for flights to Inishbofin. It has been assigned the airport code EICD but by 2012 it had not been opened for traffic.
Clifden is the main town in Connemara; therefore it is home to a range of services. The HQ for the Connemara Garda service is in Clifden and the main fire station for Connemara is in Clifden.
Part of the services on offer is a public library. It offers material relating to the history of the area. The library hosts an ongoing programme of exhibitions, readings and other cultural events.
Sky Road: an 11 km drive along Clifden Bay and Streamstown Bay rising more than 150 m above sea level at Slyne Head, with views of the Atlantic, Clifden Castle, coast-guard station, the islands of Inishturk and Turbot and the town.
Derrygimlagh Bog: a natural wilderness of blanket bog 6 km south of Clifden and the site of the Alcock and Brown crash-landing and the Marconi transatlantic wireless station.
The Station House includes a hotel, shops, museum, and flats. The Station House was Clifden's railway station from 1 July 1895 to 29 April 1935.
Community Arts Week in late September offers poetry reading, lectures, recitals and traditional music. The festival was first started by teachers in Clifden Community School in 1979 to bring creative arts into the classroom.
During the Omey Island Races, horse racing occurs on the beach. In honour of Jon Riley, on 12 September the town of Clifden flies the Mexican flag.
Clifden is home to Naomh Feichin's GAA club. Clifden is also home to the Connemara Blacks, a rugby that draws team members from Connemara.
James Mylet's debut novel Lex is set in Clifden. In 2011 the British newspaper The Guardian described the novel as being set in "the fictional town of Clifden on Ireland's west coast", leading to at least one letter pointing out the inaccuracy of this statement.
John O'Reilly (c.1817–c.1850), a Clifden native, formed and led the Saint Patrick's Battalion, a unit of almost 200 immigrants and expatriates who defected from the US army and fought with Mexico in the Mexican–American War of 1846–48.
John Bamlet Smallman (1849–1916), an Irish-Canadian businessman, was born in Clifden .

Norwegian Man Murdered after Crypto Trade Went Wrong
Norwegian authorities believe the murder of a young man is tied to an in-person exchange of cash for crypto.
by Peter Genoff
A Norwegian national has been murdered after completing a cash-for-bitcoin transaction, local television station TV2 reported on Wednesday. The crime occurred at the 24-year-old's apartment in the Oslo neighborhood of Majorstuen.
Payback for a deal gone wrong is one of the possible motives local authorities are investigating. Although Oslo police were reluctant to officially reveal whether the crime took place after a crypto transaction, anonymous TV2 sources indicate the murder took place immediately after the deal. Friends and relatives of the victim were also aware of his cryptocurrency dealings.
"We are familiar with a tip about Bitcoin, but at this time we will not provide more information about the investigation," said for TV2 Grete Lien Metlid, head of Investigation and Intelligence unit at Oslo police. "We will thoroughly investigate every possible version. Economic motives are one of these versions."
Authorities believe the crime took place between 7:50 am and 12:10 pm local time, during or right after the victim possibly exchanged cash for BTC. According to Oslo police, a large amount of cash should have been stored at the site of the crime.
Isolated Incident or a Trend
The Norwegian police believes the murder to be related to two other crimes, but did not release additional details. Although it is not yet confirmed the crime was related to the Bitcoin trade, it would not be the first case where crypto traders have been physically assaulted in relation to their digital assets.
In June, ex-Bitcoin Core developer Jameson Lopp came out with a list of all documented attacks on cryptocurrency holders up to that date.
"To help keep track of the dynamic security landscape for crypto asset owners, I've started an open source repository to catalog physical attacks. Please contribute additions and corrections," said Lopp at the time.
One of the incidents documented in the list was Lopp himself, who was the victim of SWATing, after an anonymous individual informed authorities about a non-existent "hostage situation" at Lopp's home.

Home Cricket News "CSK Will Go For Sam Curran From The Marquee List" – Ravichandran Ashwin
"CSK Will Go For Sam Curran From The Marquee List" – Ravichandran Ashwin
Sam Curran (Credit: BCCI/IPL)
The mini-auction for the upcoming edition of the IPL is all set to take place on 23rd December in Kochi. More than 900 players have registered themselves in this auction. Ravichandran Ashwin has made a few bold predictions ahead of the auction.
Without a doubt, there will be multiple franchises interested in the England Test Captain Ben Stokes in the forthcoming IPL auction. Ashwin believes that Lucknow Super Giants will be interested in order to sign the all-rounder. The franchise has released Jason Holder ahead of the new season and therefore has the cash to bid for the player.
"Lucknow Super Giants will definitely go for Ben Stokes. Only if they don't get him, they will go for other players," Ravichandran Ashwin said on his Youtube channel.
"They will go all-out on Ben Stokes as well" – Ravichandran Ashwin
The former Chennai Super Kings cricketer, Ashwin believes that his former franchise will be interested in Sam Curran. The English all-rounder displayed an exceptional performance with the ball in the recently concluded T20 World Cup as he was the second-highest wicket-taker in the tournament. Ashwin believes that the CSK will first go after Curran and in case they miss out on him, CSK will try to first get their hands-on Stokes and then on Cameron Green.
"CSK will go for Sam Curran from the Marquee list. They won't get him. They will go all-out on Ben Stokes as well. They won't get him as well. They will also go for Cameron Green," said the 36-year-old.
The spinner feels that his former team CSK will target the former West Indies white ball captain Nicholas Pooran. He was unable to create a mark with the Sunrisers Hyderabad last time but given his recent performances in the T10 league in Abu Dhabi where he scored in excess of 300 runs. He believes that Pooran will be of high value in the upcoming season.
"I feel as a second keeper, an explosive left-hander, I know he didn't play well last year but I feel he will go for a good price, Nicholas Pooran. His resale value will be really high," said Ravichandran Ashwin.

( November 29, 2018, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) We have been compelled to come together to speak with one voice as we are extremely concerned and are in fear of what our country is facing today.
Since the 26th of October 2018 the citizens of this country have been plunged into a state of confusion, chaos, fear and deep anxiety. As the days evolved, one political event succeeded another, and each of them left us more confused and saddened, and with a growing sense of despair and frustration.
Those responsible for this crisis are none other than you, the leaders in whom the people of our country have placed their trust. The people of our country are completely aware that the root cause of this serious breach of trust that has let us down in more ways than one, is your own narrow political agendas and desire for power. People question your credibility and no amount of words can convince them that their needs and the country matter to you anymore. The vast majority of our people have watched these adverse developments over the past weeks, patiently and silently.
They have noted how those of you occupying the highest seats of political power have usurped your responsibilities of good governance with scant regard for the legitimate rights and welfare of the people. The people have also patiently watched how the moral fabric of our society is being torn apart, and the economy and security of peoples' livelihoods threaten to reach unrecoverable depths.
Since you are the cause of this crisis it is your responsibility to resolve it. No amount of blaming others will resolve our predicament.
Enough is enough. The people are exhausted and are fast losing patience. Accept your mistakes, sit together and put the country and the needs of the people first. Abide by the constitution, respect our democratic traditions and restore political stability, and law & order, by establishing stable governance. Those of you who will provide leadership and make sacrifices to bring about this change, will be remembered by the people, especially at election time.
One thing is certain, you have no right to hold twenty one million people to ransom or subject them to prolonged confusion any longer. You must deliver now, or step aside and allow those who can, to serve us. These are the honorable options before you.

Q: Where to find qgsaffine in the menu? I installed the plugin qgsaffine but cannot find the entry in the menu bar. Where do I find this. Can anyone here help me with this?

A: In Qgis, Select Plugins > Manage Plugins and Select the qgsaffine plugin.
In Menu, it is located at Plugins > Geoprocessing > Affine

A: in normal installing qgis plugins locate under Plugins menu. i think you have to re-install it again because of wrong installaion or bugs...
you can also look at your plugin folder under Quantum GIS ... > apps > qgis > plugins or Quantum GIS ... > apps > qgis > python > plugins whether qgsaffine is there or not...
i hope it helps you...

A: You can find it now under Vector (version 2.6.1):

A: I think they renamed it. Got to Plugins->Fetch Python Plugins... and select "Affine Transformations". You won't find it under qgsaffine anymore.

A: For Geoprocessing of DEM in QGIS 2.0 , there is an alternative to use qgSurf plugin. Hereby the description from the qgSurf developer:

This plugin allows to calculate the best-fit plane give a DEM and a set of points, or alternatively, given a geological plane, a DEM and a point, to calculate the intersections of the plane with the DEM.

I want to point out on the difference and similarity of those two plugin.
qgsaffine plugin concerns on doing affine transformation, which is translation, rotation, scale on a vector. This function is basically covered in qgsurf plugin.
qqsaffine is developed in github and the qgsurf is bitbucket but both are python based developed plugin.
I wish that I can improve this answer more. Feel free to give some more constructive information to be added. Thanks

A: In QGIS 3x you can find it in the toolbox:
Toolbox - Vector Geometry - Affine transformation.
Just start type Affine in the Toolbox search, you will get it on the list shortly.


Invitation to the Technology Innovations for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Disorders Conference taking place at the White House on September 16 and opportunity to demo the winning application at the conference.
The video demo will also be highlighted on a behavioral health technology innovations website being developed by NIH in conjunction with the conference.
Invitation to the Technology Innovations for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Disorders Conference taking place at the White House on September 16.
HHS seeks the best existing apps that empower patients to manage their behavioral health (mental health and/or substance abuse disorders).
Health IT has significant potential to enable self management of behavioral health disorders (including both mental health and substance use disorders) as well as to act as a treatment extender for patients with limited access to care. On September 16th Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), in partnership with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), and National Institutes of Health (NIH) is organizing a Technology Innovations for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Disorders Conference taking place at the White House. This conference will highlight how technology can be used to improve treatment for behavioral health disorders. In conjunction with this conference ONC is issuing this Behavioral Health Patient Empowerment Challenge to identify and highlight existing technologies that empower consumers to manage their mental health and/or substance use disorders.
The top three finishers will be invited to the conference where the winner will be given an opportunity to demo the winning tool. Travel funding is not available, so if the winner cannot attend in person the video demonstration of the winning technology will be played during the conference. The top three tools will be highlighted on a behavioral health technology innovations website which is being developed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in conjunction with this conference.
The Behavioral Health Patient Empowerment Challenge is a call for developers to showcase technologies that empower consumers to manage their mental health and/or substance use disorders. The intent of the challenge is to identify and highlight existing innovative technologies that use evidence based strategies to empower consumer self-management of behavioral health disorders.
The application submitted must be available for use by consumers on a widely-used platform for mobile devices by the submission end date of September 3.
General – Contestants must provide continuous access to the tool, a detailed description of the tool, instructions on how to install and operate the tool, and system requirements required to run the tool (collectively, "Submission").
Acceptable platforms – The tool must be designed for use on a widely-used platform for mobile devices; this includes web optimization for mobile devices.
Section 508 Compliance – Contestants must acknowledge that they understand that, as a pre-requisite to any subsequent acquisition by FAR contract or other method, they may be required to make their proposed solution compliant with Section 508 accessibility and usability requirements at their own expense. Any electronic information technology that is ultimately obtained by HHS for its use, development, or maintenance must meet Section 508 accessibility and usability standards. Past experience has demonstrated that it can be costly for solution-providers to "retrofit" solutions if remediation is later needed. The HHS Section 508 Evaluation Product Assessment Template, available at http://www.hhs.gov/web/508/contracting/technology/vendors.html, provides a useful roadmap for developers to review. It is a simple, web-based checklist utilized by HHS officials to allow vendors to document how their products do or do not meet the various Section 508 requirements.
No HHS, ONC, or other federal government logo – The app must not use HHS', ONC's, or any other federal government agency's logos or official seals in the Submission, and must not claim endorsement.
Security – Submissions must be free of malware. Contestant agrees that ONC may conduct testing on the app to determine whether malware or other security threats may be present. ONC may disqualify the app if, in ONC's judgment, the app may damage government or others' equipment or operating environment.

Four Tops – "It's the Same Old Song"
December 26, 2008 December 24, 2008 by thedailyrecord, posted in Motown
Four Tops – "It's the Same Old Song," Pop #5, R&B #2
By Joel Francis
There's a good reason why "It's the Same Old Song" sounds so much like the Four Tops' previous hit, "I Can't Help Myself:" both songs are built on the same chords, only in reverse order.
When "I Can't Help Myself" hit No. 1 in June, 1965, the Tops' old label, Columbia, tried to cash in by re-releasing a five-year-old Tops single. An upset Berry Gordy countered that Motown needed to quash that single with one of their own – in just 24 hours.
At 3 p.m. Holland-Dozier-Holland sat down to write. Just two hours later, the Tops had finished recording the number and the tune was ready to mix. By 3 p.m. the next day, 1,500 copies of "It's the Same Old Song" had been pressed and sent to DJs across the country. The icing on this astounding feat of production came in the coming weeks, as the song eventually rose to No. 5 on the charts.
Like "I Can't Help Myself," the song is propelled by Funk Brother Jack Ashford's vibe's and Richard "Pistol" Allen's drumming. The bubbly string arrangement also echoes "I Can't Help Myself." Unsurprisingly, the end result is a second helping of a joyous melody masking a melancholy lyric. If it ain't broke….
In the late '70s two groups proved it was anything but "The Same Old Song" with two very different covers. KC and the Sunshine Band turned in a disco version and Delroy Wilson gave a reggae reading. Neither translation made the charts.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (the court just below the U.S. Supreme Court covering the western United States) decided yesterday that a Customs and Border Patrol Agent acted in bad faith by failing to preserve video footage of a woman's actions when crossing the boarder in the pedestrian lane. The woman had both methamphetamine and heroin strapped to her body but told the agent she had been forced to carry the drugs for a drug cartel. The agent failed to tell the court what the woman told her when applying for a complaint to arrest the woman and charge her with violation of federal laws 21 U.S.C. §§ 952 and 960.
The woman said the video would have shown that she had "wiggled around," "patted her stomach," and "threw her passport on the ground" to draw attention to herself while in line as she claimed she was being accompanied by another cartel member to make sure she acted right.
In the past the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that a defendant has to show "the government acted in bad faith in failing to preserve the potentially useful evidence." Arizona v. Youngblood, 488 U.S. 51, 57–58 (1988). Additionally, the defendant must show it was "readily apparent" to the government agent that they knew the evidence would be valuable to the defendant's case. The district court judge in this case, did find the video tape was potentially useful, but refused to make the finding that the agent knew that. United States V. Zaragoza-Moreira, (13-50506 March 18, 2015). It can be read at http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-9th-circuit/1694664.html?DCMP=NWL-pro_9th.
The appellate court found the district court judge was wrong. This finding, by the appellate court, is particularly significant because in order to reverse the district court the standard required was that he "committed clear error." This is a very high standard based on a long line of precedent, giving every benefit of the doubt to the district court's finding because the judge was closest to the evidence, having seen and evaluated the witnesses including the boarder patrol agent. Here the higher court made that finding.
Not only did they reverse the finding of the judge, but the appellate court order the district court to dismiss the indictment.
Two interesting facts: First, the video was destroyed 30 days after the arrest even though the defense attorney has sent a letter to the assigned Assistant U.S. Attorney asking that the video be preserved. That didn't happen and the court opinion doesn't say why the prosecutor didn't make sure it didn't happen.
Second, the woman with the drugs had the "adaptive skills" of an 8-year-old because of the brain damage she sustained when she was 13-years-old having been shot multiple times, including in the head, in a gang related incident.
