Q: Theming with Material UI using React Router I'm not gettin the blue color to show up on the toolbar when I run this code. The toolbar loads with the tabs properly, but there's no theming. It's just a grey and dark greyish color. I'm expecting the lightbase theme from Material-UI@next
My main app.js file looks like this:

const theme = createMuiTheme();

const render = (messages) => {
  ReactDOM.render(
    <Provider store={store}>
      <LanguageProvider messages={messages}>
        <ConnectedRouter history={history}>
          <MuiThemeProvider theme={theme}>
            <Switch>
              <Route exact path="/" component={Splash} />
              <Route exact path="/main" component={App} />
              <Route path="/main/:navmain" component={App} />
            </Switch>
          </MuiThemeProvider>
        </ConnectedRouter>
      </LanguageProvider>
    </Provider>,
    MOUNT_NODE
  );
};

Then, when i navigate to /main, this is what I have:

const AppWrapper = styled.div`
  max-width: calc(768px + 16px * 2);
  margin: 0 auto;
  display: flex;
  min-height: 100%;
  padding: 0 16px;
  flex-direction: column;
`;

class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <Header />
        <AppWrapper>
          Below this are where the new components should render.
          <Switch>
            <Route path="/main/aboutme" component={AboutMe} />
            <Route path="/main/models" component={Models} />
            <Route path="/main/landscapes" component={Landscapes} />
          </Switch>
          <Footer />
        </AppWrapper>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

For some reason I'm having a tough time seeing what I'm doing wrong here. I am wrapping the routes in the main switch statement with the MuiThemeProvider and expecting anything inside of that component (like the routes) to inherit the theme from Material UI.
Can anyone help me out here?


It was our dream to visit the beautiful land of Ladakh since long. But it came true only last week when we visited Ladakh. Its a newly construced hotel. The hotel staff are too decent and rooms are spacious. You can see the snowcaped mountains from the balcony. foods was delicious and we were surprized by the special ladakhi dish by hotel manager. Really it was like home in ladakh.

Q: Why is the notation $A\setminus B$ preferred over $A-B$? Let $A$ and $B$ be sets, why is the notation  $A\setminus B$ preferred over $A-B$ for set differences?

A: In some contexts $A-B$ might refer to things like the Minkowski difference of two subsets of a vector space, like $A+B$ almost always refers to the sum $\{a+b\mid a\in A, b\in B\}$.
The notation $A\setminus B$ is less likely to collide with other common interpretations of $A-B$.

A: Because $A-B$ is ambiguous and could mean $\{a-b:a\in A, b\in B\}$.

Manhattan Diagnostic Radiology – Cardiology Cener Reaches 500th Patient Milestone
By SPARC Editor on June 14, 2005 in 2005
Physicians Deliver Advanced Cardiac Care Using Toshiba's Aquilion 64-slice CFX CT
TUSTIN, Calif.,
Manhattan Diagnostic Radiology (MDR), a dedicated heart center located in New York City, today announced it has successfully scanned its 500 th patient using the center's state of the art Aquilion 64-slice CFX from Toshiba America Medical Systems Inc (TAMS). The announcement, which was made in conjunction with the 7th Annual Stanford Radiology International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT, further emphasizes the impact of 64-slice CT technology on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
During the symposia, Dr. Jeffrey P. Goldman, director of MRI and CT at MDR, will deliver a lunch-time presentation hosted by Toshiba about the benefits of multi-slice CT for cardiac applications, his experiences with the Aquilion CFX CT, and its positive impact on his practice and the care of his patients. The advanced image quality and speed delivered by the Aquilion CFX allows cardiologists to uncover early signs of heart disease, such as arterial plaque, and make treatment recommendations without the need for invasive exploration of the heart. In fact, Dr. Goldman states that the Aquilion CFX allows clinicians at MDR to identify indications of disease earlier in its progression, potentially reducing a patient's risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke.
"Images of the heart are extremely difficult to capture because it's in a state of continuous motion. Until the advent of multi-slice CT, cardiologists had to rely on more invasive, risky procedures, like catheterized angiography, to give an accurate view of what was happening inside the patient's heart," Goldman said. "The Aquilion CFX produces brilliant images allowing me to view intricate areas of the heart, to accurately pinpoint current cardiac issues and to detect potential problems in the earliest stages – even for patients with a normal stress test."
According to Doug Ryan, director, CT Business Unit, TAMS, "Manhattan Diagnostic Radiology (MDR) is a leading imaging center in New York City due to their experience and ongoing investments in state-of-the-art imaging and diagnostic technologies. Their recent acquisition of the Aquilion 64-slice CFX is a testament to the commitment by MDR and the technology of the Aquilion to diagnose the earliest stages of heart disease and improve cardiac patient care," Ryan said.
MDR is renowned for its thought leadership in the area of cardiac imaging, as well as for utilizing the latest cardiac imaging tools to provide patients with a higher standard of care. Toshiba's Aquilion 64-slice CFX CT scanner is just one component of the facility's suite of imaging technologies. TAMS' unique 64-row Quantum detector enables the Aquilion scanner to acquire 64 simultaneous slices of 0.5 mm of the heart with each 400-millisecond gantry revolution, which allows cardiologists to scan the heart with superb precision.
The 7 thAnnual Stanford Radiology International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT will be held at the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco on June 15-18, 2005.

"Pop Goes My Heart" author panel discusses romance in YA novels
TOPICS:featured
Posted By: Ariel Graham September 11, 2017
Love was in the air or at least on the pages during the "Pop Goes My Heart" author panel presented at the South Irving Library on Wednesday, Aug. 16.
The library invited three young adult (YA) authors, Maurene Goo, Sandhya Menon and Ashley Poston, to discuss their latest romance novels. Sara Roberts, co-host of the "Adventures in YA" podcast served as the moderator. The three women shared their experiences with the characters, their own experience in love and high school, and the fandoms they are passionate about that led them to write these books.
"I Believe In a Thing Called Love," is Maurene Goo's second YA novel, following her debut novel, "Since You Asked." Her new book tells the story of Desi, a girl who attempts to use what she has learned watching Korean dramas (K-dramas) to try and find a boyfriend. In contrast with her previous book, writing a believable romance turned out to be quite a challenge.
"For me, [love is] this ephemeral thing that is very hard to capture and to describe why a romance works in a book, which is why it was very hard for me to write this book," Goo said. "It's this magical thing for two characters to have chemistry and for you as a reader to care about them, and to not just care about them, but want to see them end up together and feel those feels.
Sandhya Menon's debut book, "When Dimple Met Rishi," has become both a National Indie and New York Times bestseller. In the book, the two titular Indian-American teens learn that they are to be wed to one another in an arranged marriage. Menon particularly enjoyed writing a more outspoken female lead, something she hopes to see more of in YA novels.
"I love Dimple's fierceness," Menon said. "I think a lot of times we shy away from making girls really fierce or independent, or girls who speak their minds. But I really like that she came out on the page super aggressive and just says whatever she's thinking, but she's also very adorable."
Ashley Poston is the author of the sci-fi action novel, "Heart of Iron," as well as the Radio Hearts Duology. Her latest novel, "Geekarella," is a Cinderella story set in the middle of science fiction convention. Poston wanted to make a geekier version of the classic Cinderella story, where the heroine ends up saving herself.
"What I like most about the two main characters, Elle and Darien, is that Elle saves herself in this one," Poston said. "In the Cinderella fairy tale, Cinderella always gets saved. When I wrote 'Geekarella,' I wanted Elle to do the saving, so she had to have a certain amount of moxy, and I just fell in love with that."
One of the underlying themes of all three novels is the main characters' love of fandoms. Mary Hinson, senior librarian at the South Irving Library, said these novels reflect a growing trend towards "geekier" protagonists.
"A trend in the past couple of years is having characters who engross different kinds of fandom," Hinson said. "There have been a lot of geekier stories and characters who really love and embrace TV shows or movie fandoms. I think in real life, it's OK now to be interested in typically nerdy things. It's cool to go to Comic-Con, and it's cool to really love K-dramas and things like that and just embrace fandom life."
Earlier this summer, the library hosted another YA panel, focused on sci-fi and drama, as part of their teen Summer Reading Challenge. Hinson wants to introduce teens to a variety of different kinds of story, and with the Pop Goes My Heart panel, she wanted to show that not all stories have to be overly serious to be impactful.
"It's important to show stories don't always have to be super serious and about saving the world," Hinson said. "Sometimes, it can just be a story about two characters as they come together and accept themselves, and accept one another. It's important to show that those stories can be really powerful and important," Hinson said.

From Feelings of Hopelessness to Acts of Courage


Zemi17's first release for The Bunker New York, Impressions, was a landmark release for the label, a record that brought the swirling, shifting sounds of minimalist music to the dancefloor. Zipper is Zemi17's second release on The Bunker New York, and sees him expanding his musical palette considerably, in which his gamelan-derived sound design pushes further out towards the expanses of techno's realm.
Aaron Taylor Kuffner's first introduction to gamelan came through David Simons, a performer in the renowned New York City downtown new music troupe Gamelan Son Of Lion. Many years later, on a trip to Indonesia, he visited a dear friend who herself was studying gamelan at Institut Seni Indonesia Yogyakarta. Quickly he became enraptured with the instrument's possibilities, and enrolled in study himself. Soon after, his laptop — containing electronic music software and years' worth of recordings — was stolen. "Rather than replace my laptop, I just concentrated more on gamelan," Kuffner explains. "A few months turned into a few years, and the more I learned, the more I wanted to know."
Upon first listening to Zipper, Kuffner's history with gamelan is self-evident. Each track on the EP rings, rolls, and resonates with the rich tones of a gamelan orchestra. (Explaining the ease with which he bridges the worlds of techno and gamelan, Kuffner mentions one particular similarity: "The lowest-pitched gongs in a Javanese gamelan resonate between 38 - 50 Hz, right where most electronic kick drums are. What other indigenous non-electronic music form has sounds in that range?") And while gamelan provides the foundation for the EP's sound design, Zipper is definitely a techno record — the rollicking electro rhythms of "Trickles in the Dark" and the hypnotic, dark mood of "An Army of Crickets," for instance, will set dancefloors alight.
Zipper is the product of years of work. "The tracks on this record began as field recordings taken from Indonesia — insect sounds, gamelan, found sounds," says Kuffner. "Each of these tracks comes from a different stage of my music-writing process over the years. I eventually developed a kind of 'sketch and improv' technique, re-arranging groupings and arrangements of a series of elements. Zipper reflects a culmination of this technique, and in my opinion, it's representative of some of my best work."
We couldn't agree more, and we're proud to present Zipper for release.

Detailed Tour Itinerary
Day 1	: Arrive Delhi; Half Day Tour of Old Delhi
Highlights: Amazing Old Delhi Sightseeing
Description: After checking in this morning we meet our Tour Leader and discuss the tour ahead of us. In the afternoon we head for the narrow streets of Old Delhi. Once capital of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, Old Delhi is a maelstrom of colour, noise and chaos, and, using a mixture of the old and the new - the metro and a cycle rickshaw ride- we reach the Chadni Chowk Bazaar, at the heart of the Old City. A highlight of Old Delhi is the Jami Masjid mosque. Built of red stone, the Jama Masjid, also known as Masjid - e - Jahanuma, is the largest mosque in India. The courtyard of the mosque measures around 1000 square meters and has a capacity of 100,000 people. In the centre of the courtyard is a tank and Hauz. This was built for the purpose of Wazu, compulsory ambulation done before Namaaz. In front of it is a raised platform called the Dikka. The mosque is so big that the Muatllawi (the second cleric), used to stand on the Dikka and repeat the Ayats said by the Imam (the chief cleric) to the devotees who were unable to hear him. The mosque took some 14 years to construct. From the top of the southern minaret there is a view of New Delhi. Nearby is the imposing Red Fort. Built in the 1600s it's imposing red sandstone walls stand over 30 meters above the heart of the Old City which swirls around it. We'll take a rickshaw ride through Chadni Chowk and have a wander through the Spice Bazaar. Be sure to have a camera ready to capture all the wonderful sights including the chaotic electrical wiring, monkeys, traders on bikes with massive loads, and the traffic in general which by some kind of sixth sense and tolerance means drivers and pedestrians seems to just miss each other.
Locations: Delhi
Day 2	: Delhi - Ranthambore
Highlights: Explore New Delhi
Description: After breakfast today we visit the other side of the city: New Delhi. New Delhi was designed by Lutyens and the Parliament Building and the Rajpath are just two reminders of the days of British rule. We visit the India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhawan, the Presidential Palace, Parliament House and Hamayun's Tomb. Around mid-day we transfer to the railway station and board the train for the first stage of our journey to Ranthambore. We arrive in the early evening at Sawai Madhopur station from where we drive the short distance to our hotel just outside the Park.
Locations: Ranthambore National Park
Day 3	: In Ranthambore
Highlights: Game drives at Ranthambore National Park
Description: Ranthambore National Park lies on the eastern border of Rajasthan, and covers some 400 square kilometres of jungle, lakes and rivers, dotted with temples. The area was originally a private reserve of the Maharajah of Jaipur, but was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1957. There is a lot to see in this Park: it is generally considered to offer the best chance of spotting tiger - there are around 40 in the Park - but we should also see many species of birds, including kingfisher, parakeet, jacana, and both crested hawk and crested serpent eagle, as well as sloth bear, hyena, pythons, marsh crocodiles, turtles, langur and perhaps leopard. We make an early start today, taking our first game drive around dawn, when the chances of seeing game are highest, before returning for breakfast. Time to relax during the heat of the day, before our afternoon game drive, which we aim to make around dusk, when sightings should again be good.
Highlights: Morning game drives at Ranthambore National Park; afternoon optional visit of Ranthambore National park
Description: Today morning we aim to complete our final game drives into the park in search of its wildlife. This afternoon you may wish to go for optional visit of Ranthambore Fort, which overlooks the Park on a hilltop affording views across the park towards the Aravali Hills. This is one of the oldest forts in India, and as well as the magnificent views it has there are a number of temples and mosques as well as an important Ganesh Temple, all spread out over several acres.
Day 5	: Bharatpur - Fatehpur Sikri - Agra
Highlights: Keoladeo National Park - further included game viewing, this time by cycle or rickshaw. Fatehpur Sikri - included guided tour of one of the finest examples of Mughal architectural splendour at its height.
Description: A busy and rather full day today. We leave very early in the morning for the short drive to Sawai Madhopur, from where we take the train to Bharatpur, a journey of around two or three hours. We transfer then to the Keoladeo Sanctuary. The Bird Sanctuary at Bharatpur is commonly known as the Keoladeo Ghana National Park. The name Keoladeo is derived from the name of an ancient Hindu temple, devoted to Lord Shiva, which lies in the central area of the sanctuary, while the Hindi term 'Ghana' implies dense, thick areas of forest cover The Park covers some dozen square miles, with much of its area under water. Once a duck-hunting reserve for royalty, the Sanctuary is today a world famous ornithological site, offering opportunities to see both breeding water birds and transitory migrants. We aim to visit the park, using cycle rickshaws, giving us a good chance of observing geese, heron, storks, and, if we are lucky, perhaps the rare Siberian Crane, amongst the some 300 species observed here. After our time in the Park we drive to Fatehpur Sikri. Once the site of the Mughul Emperor Akbar's court, the city is now deserted, having been inhabited for just some 16 years after its construction in 1569 before being abandoned. Still standing virtually intact, just as it did in the sixteenth century, the place is a treasure house of royal buildings. In the centre of the main courtyard is the Pachisi Board, once used by the Emperor for games similar to chess, but using live slave girls as pieces. We'll see also the Panch Mahal, towering five stories high, and the remarkable Diwan-i-Khas, with its lotus shaped central pillar. From the silence of Fatehpur Sikri, we drive to Agra, and the bustle of a large modern city. Once Agra was the Mughul capital, and it is home to a number of iconic Mughul structures, the most famous of which is an architectural gem.
Locations: Agra
Day 6	: In Agra; Evening Train to Delhi
Highlights: Visit Magnificent Taj Mahal and Agra Fort
Description: Before breakfast we meet our guide and head for the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. The Taj Mahal has been described as a monument of immeasurable beauty and as the epitome of love. The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan had this monument constructed in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, with whom he fell in love at first sight Built some 300 years ago, the Taj never fails to stun the viewer with its symmetry and elegance, its perfect proportions making it, in the views of many, the world's perfect building. It certainly impresses in comparison with Humayan's Tomb, in Delhi; an earlier structure in a similar style, but clearly not as perfectly proportioned. The Taj took 22 years to build, using the labour of 20,000 men; the Emperor joined his beloved Mumtaz under the white marble dome of the Taj after his deathThe Agra Fort is built alongside the Yamuna river and stretches almost 2.5 km. It consists of a wall built in red sandstone and several buildings inside. The wall has 2 gates, the Delhi Gate and the Amar Singh Gate. We can only enter the fort via the Amar Singh Gate. On the right as you enter there's the many pillared Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience). It was built by Shah Janan in 1628. Further on we find the Royal Pavilions. The Fort contains beautiful mosques (Nagina Masjid & Mina Masjid), palaces (Macchi Bhavan, Khas Mahal, Shish Mahal, Shah Jahani Mahal) and the Zenana Mina Bazaar. Several of the buildings are made of pure marble with beautiful carvings. To cool off the rooms in the marble pavilions, the walls were hollow and filled with running water. From the balconies in the pavilions, you have a nice view on the Yamuna river and the Taj Mahal. After exploring the Taj and the Agra Fort the rest of the day is perhaps best spent exploring the bazaar of modern Agra, before we transfer to the railway station in the early evening to catch the express to Delhi. We arrive in the late evening and transfer to our hotel.
Day 7	: Tour ends.
Highlights: After breakfast today our tour ends.

Q: How does unsigned subtraction work when it wraps around? This is a macro in the lwIP source code:
#define TCP_SEQ_LT(a,b)     ((int32_t)((uint32_t)(a) - (uint32_t)(b)) < 0)

Which is used to check if a TCP sequence number is less than another, taking into account when the sequence numbers wrap around. It exploits the fact that arithmetic wraps around, but I am unable to understand how this works in this particular case.
Can anyone explain what happens and why the above works ?

A: Take a simple 4 bit integer example where a = 5 and b = 6. The binary representation of each will be
a = 0101
b = 0110

Now when we subtract these (or take two's complement of b, sum with a, and add 1), we get the following
0101
1001
+  1
-----
1111

1111 is equal to 15 (unsigned) or -1 (signed, again translated using two's complement). By casting the two numbers to unsigned, we ensure that if b > a, the difference between the two is going to be a large unsigned number and have it's highest bit set. When translating this large unsigned number into its signed counterpart we will always get a negative number due to the set MSB.
As nos pointed out, when a sequence number wraps around from the max unsigned value back to the min, the macro will also return that the max value is < min using the above arithmetic, hence its usefulness.

A: Because it is first cast as a signed integer before it is compared to zero. Remember that the first bit reading from left to right determines the sign in a signed number but is used to increase the unsigned int's range by an extra bit.
Example: let's say you have a 4 bit unsigned number. This would mean 1001 is 17. But as a signed integer this would be -1.
Now lets say we did b0010 - b0100. This ends up with b1110. Unsigned this is 14, and signed this is -6.

A: On wrap-around a will be much greater than b. If we subtract them the result will also be very large, ie have its high-order bit set. If we then treat the result as a signed value the large difference will turn into a negative number, less than 0.
If you had 2 sequence numbers 2G apart it wouldn't work, but that's not going to happen.


He planned the perfect surprise proposal overlooking the beautiful city of Vienna. When Dylan, 23, first met Naz, 23, in high school, it was the beginning of a fairytale romance. With each passing day, their love grows and they are excited to begin their happily ever after. This is their love story.
D: Naz was good friends with my longtime best friend and, in a strange turn of events, I went to prom with her sister!
N: We met in high school—I didn't start liking him until a few years later, when he took my sister to prom.
D: We love to travel together.
N: I absolutely love to bake desserts with Dylan—I call him my "sous chef." I usually get him to do the parts I don't like, like stirring with the mixer, but he doesn't seem to mind!
D: Her honesty. She and I tell each other everything and I think that is one of the major reasons why our relationship is so strong.
N: His principles. He is such a good man, which is why I think he is going to make a great husband and, one day, a great father.
D: With the help of a friend, I had arranged a surprise three-course romantic candlelight dinner for two on the Wiener Riesenrad, a large, well-known Ferris wheel in Vienna, Austria. When the Ferris wheel made it to the top for the first time and we got our first view of the city, the moment was too perfect to pass up.
N: Dylan's proposal was so much more than anything I had ever dreamed of. It was a fairytale come true.
D: My experience at Diamonds Direct was great!
N: This ring is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen! It's perfect in every way.
D: Be patient. Find someone that you can be comfortable and totally open with.
N: Find someone you can talk to about anything and be yourself with.
D: I am excited to take more trips with Naz and make more memories together.
N: I am looking forward to just having him there with me for the rest of my life.

Provincial nominees
One of Canada's provinces or territories can nominate you to settle and work there.
Here is a list of the provinces and territories currently participating in this program. Since the criteria vary among the provinces, you should visit their websites for more information.
PNP AND EXPRESS ENTRY
Provincial and federal roles and responsibilities
Provinces have the authority and responsibility to establish their own criteria for nomination, insofar as the criteria are not incompatible with national immigration policy, while the federal government maintains its responsibility for applying statutory admissibility criteria and exercising ultimate selection authority as described in the Regulations.
CIC is responsible for:
assessing the candidates' admissibility;
assessing their eligibility under R87; and
rendering a final decision on their eligibility as members of the provincial nominee class (R87(2)).
In accordance with section 9(1) of IRPA and further elaborated by s.7.2 of OP7b, the provinces have the sole authority and responsibility for establishing their own criteria for nomination. See also section 87 of IRPR.
Every provincial nominee agreement obliges the immigration or visa officer to consult with an official of the nominating province regarding the intention to refuse before the refusal is actually made.
Receiving the provincial nomination certificate
When an individual is nominated by a province for selection in the provincial nominee class, the
province sends the certificate of nomination directly to the visa office.
Receiving the application for immigration
Some provinces will ask the applicant to complete the immigration application and send it directly
to the appropriate visa office. Other provinces may choose to assist the nominee with the completion of the application and send the nominee's application to the visa office on his or her behalf.
In either case, the visa office may create a file before receipt of the nomination spreadsheet.
Substitution of evaluation
(3) If the fact that the foreign national is named in a certificate referred to in paragraph (2)(a) is not a sufficient indicator of whether they may become economically established in Canada and an officer has consulted the government that issued the certificate, the officer may substitute for the criteria set out in subsection (2) their evaluation of the likelihood of the ability of the foreign national to become economically established in Canada.
Refusing the application
There are three bases upon which a provincial nominee who meets all statutory admissibility
requirements can be refused a visa:
- The officer has reason to believe that the applicant does not intend to live in the province that has nominated them;
-The officer has reason to believe that the applicant is unlikely to be able to successfully establish economically in Canada;
- The officer has reason to believe that the applicant is participating in, or intends to participate in, a passive investment or an immigration-linked investment scheme as defined in R87(5) to
R87(9) of the Regulations.
In each case, the officer must have some evidence to support this belief and overcome the
presumptions implied by the provincial nomination. Every provincial nominee agreement obliges
the immigration officer to consult with an official of the nominating province regarding the intention
to refuse before the refusal is actually made (Please see Appendix B for Provincial Contact
If the officer, after consulting with the province, still intends to refuse, R87(4) requires that a
second officer concur with the decision to refuse, before it can be made official. Both officers'
names should be clearly recorded in the CAIPS notes.
Operational Bulletin 251 - November 24, 2010
Examination of Members of the Provincial Nominee Class at Ports of Entry and CIC Inland Offices
This operational bulletin (OB) provides instructions regarding the examination of individuals in the Provincial Nominee (PN) class seeking permanent resident status who indicate that they never intended or no longer intend to reside in the nominating province or territory.
Processing times for provincial nominee applications processed by visa offices outside Canada can be found here.
Provincial nominees and work permits
Section 5.27 of FW 1 deals with the issuance of work permits to provincial nominees.
Under R204(c), work permits can be issued to prospective or actual provincial nominees.
The applicant must present a letter from the province stating that they have been nominated and requesting a work permit. It is not necessary for the visa office to have received the nominee's application for permanent residence before issuing a work permit. Spouses of provincial nominees are entitled to open work permits regardless of the skill level of the principal applicant.
1. Temporary Foreign Worker Provincially Selected (TFW-PS)
Under the terms of Temporary Foreign Worker Annexes that have been negotiated with certain provinces/territories, they have the authority to have the requirement for a labour market opinion waived for work permit applicants named in a written request from the province or territory.
This authority is based on section 204(c) of the IRPR. Provisions respecting this authority might vary
slightly from province to province and for greater certainty the wording in the appropriate annex
should be referred to.
To date, Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Yukon Territory have such agreements in effect.
2. Foreign Worker Nominated by a Province or Territory (PNP)
(See OP 7b for more information)
A person who has been nominated by a province or territory for permanent residence and is employed or has a job offer * from an employer based in that province may be issued a work permit without requiring an LMO.
In order for this provision to be applied, the application for the work permit must include a letter from the provincial or territorial government that confirms:
• that the foreign national has been nominated for permanent residence by the province.
• that the nominated individual is urgently required by the provincial-based employer who has
made the foreign national a job offer.
The duration of the work permit should be equivalent to the duration of the job offer.
"PNP" should be entered in the "Remarks" field to facilitate differentiating between the PNP and the TFW-PS provincial/territorial selection types.

A Car and Scooter Collide – One Person Sent to the Hospital
Posted by: DFX on Jul 09, 2016
When you think about safety, do you think only about your own or the safety of others on the roads? While it's true that all you can do is drive as safely as possible, it's also true that some serious ramifications can come as a result of a moment of distracted driving. A recent story out of Miami is making some people think differently about scooters.
The article that details this story is called Car vs. scooter accident in Miami Beach sends one to hospital and originally appeared in the Miami Herald. Joey Flechas writes, "Miami Beach Police are investigating an accident involving a car and a scooter that sent a man to the hospital Wednesday night. A man driving a scooter collided with a car at the intersection of 71st Street and Indian Creek Drive shortly before 10 p.m. Police said the man was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Traffic was temporarily closed as investigators worked the scene, which was littered with debris."
Thankfully this accident didn't end with any fatalities but there were significant consequences. One man is in the hospital, traffic around the area was cut off for hours, and workers were forced to clean up debris. No matter who's found at fault, one thing is for sure: they're going to need a good personal injury lawyer.

Mayer Brown JSM recruits Jason T. Elder to boost its Asian Capital Markets Practice
Jason T. Elder
12 July 2010, Hong Kong – Mayer Brown, a leading global law firm, announced today Jason T. Elder has joined Mayer Brown LLP as a partner in Hong Kong.
Prior to joining Mayer Brown, Jason was a partner at Sidley Austin LLP in Hong Kong and has been based in Hong Kong since January 2001. He has extensive experience advising issuers and underwriters on capital markets transactions, particularly global offerings of debt and equity securities including a range of high-yield, hybrid and structured debt products. Jason's experience also includes early-round private equity financing, cross-border M&A transactions and debt restructuring.
Jason's appointment represents a significant step in Mayer Brown's strategic plan to grow its capital markets presence globally. The firm's New York office added three lateral partners earlier this year.
"We are very pleased to have Jason on board. The appointment of Jason reinforces our commitment to build a world-class capital markets practice in Asia." said Elaine Lo, Senior Partner and Asia Chair.
Jason will work alongside Mark Uhrynuk, a U.S. corporate and securities partner who relocated from the firm's London office to Hong Kong in January last year.
"Jason is a commercially-astute lawyer and has been recognised for his experience and capabilities in capital markets throughout the Asia-Pacific region. He has been based in Hong Kong for almost 10 years, advising clients in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Mongolia, South Korea, Taiwan and India. I look forward greatly to working with Jason to grow our practice in Asia" said Mark Uhrynuk, partner of Mayer Brown LLP.
Eddie Best, the US-based Co-head of Capital Markets said, "Jason is an excellent addition to the Mayer Brown team in Hong Kong. He will play a key role in the firm's growth of its capital markets practice in Asia."
Jason is widely recognised by the market. He was ranked as "Leading Lawyer: Equity Capital Markets" and "Leading Lawyer: Debt Capital Markets" by IFLR 1000. He was also ranked as "Leading Individual: High Yield Capital Markets (US Law)", "Leading Individual: Capital Markets (US Law)" and "Leading Individual: Overseas Counsel, Indonesia" by Chambers Asia.
Jason received his bachelor's degree from Northwestern University and his Juris Doctorate from the University of Oregon School of Law.

My family was big on Sonic, too, so it's nice to hear that game, in particular, has fond memories for you. I always find it interesting to see who feels a connection to what games and for which reasons. Thanks for sharing that!
I have to admit my own parents weren't really into gaming, but growing up, I would often rely on my brother to get me through the sections I couldn't clear. Interestingly enough, about a year and a half ago when I visited him over the holidays, he got into Dark Souls III and couldn't beat the first boss. He then gave me the controller, and after a few tries, I emerged victorious. In other words, the roles had reversed. The best part is that he created a deprived character (one who starts with no armor and a weak weapon).


The Gloversville Fire Department protects 15,500 residents in 5.2 sq. miles. The department operates with four Battalions made up of a Battalion Chief, Captain and six (6) firefighters. Initial response is two engines, one truck and a Battalion Chief. Gloversville provides BLS with EMT-D and EMT-I personnel on engine companies.
Gloversville was the first department in New York State to purchase a Cairns IRIS thermal imager in 1997. The department utilizes an ISG Thermal imager.
Dispatching is done from E-911 central dispatch at the Fulton County Sheriff's department utilizing all civilian communications specialists.
The department provides code enforcement for all existing structures within the City. All code enforcement is coordinated by on-duty personnel under the Office of the Fire Marshal.


After the selection of resource the person has the capability to think and write about the undertaking and create his thesis to support his project pay for essay by producing an ideal outline. If you receive a subject, and you've been requested to decide upon this issue, it's suggested not to pick a topic which you feel is complex. Secondly, always look at each side of the coin before you get started writing such topics.
Take note that there are going to be a whole lot of new words for the students, and the meanings ought to be made clear. Since you may see, the aforementioned collection of controversial topics is a mixture of topics from all different regions of life and are afflicted by opposite views from various parts of the society. A superb measure to decide if your topic is too broad is whether it's possible to describe it in a couple of words.
The keywords and phrases you select will depend upon this issue you have decided on. You may also use any one of the next quotes. Writing is a type of expression that maynot be taught or learned.

Christie Pits Film Festival

José Garcia of Zoca Studio Inc.
programme NOTE
What drives us to compete? How far would you go to win? This summer, Christie Pits Film Festival presents Eyes on the Prize, a summer-long weekly series of short and feature films about competition and beating the odds. Each film in the Eyes on the Prize programme explores these themes from a different perspective, ranging from the kaleidoscopic dance competitions of Baz Luhrmann's Strictly Ballroom, to ruthless high school cheerleading squads in Bring It On, to the hilariously petty antics of dog show rivals in Christopher Guest's inimitable Best in Show. The series opens with a special screening of Harold Lloyd's silent comedy The Freshman with an original musical score performed live by Toronto's The Holy Gasp. This slapstick classic follows the increasingly over-the-top hijinks of a comically inept college freshman resolutely determined to become popular by joining the football team. In the iconic film noir The Maltese Falcon, Humphrey Bogart leads an all-star cast of criminal schemers, all one-upping one another as they chase a fortune in hidden jewels, and this classic will be paired with the noir-inspired animated short film Phantom City. West Side Story's star-crossed lovers from rival immigrant communities are caught between singing-and-dancing street gangs as they struggle for a piece of that most elusive prize, the American Dream. This year's Canadian feature selections similarly focus on marginalized people pushing against social barriers. Amber Fares' Speed Sisters tells the inspiring true story of the first all-women team of race car drivers in the Middle East, and will be paired with two short films also focused on women driven to compete, Underdog and Boxing. Lana Šlezić's Bee Nation paints an intimate documentary portrait of First Nations kids vying for the top prize in the national spelling bee. And what would a series about competition be without a powerful sports drama? Christie Pits Film Festival's 2017 programme will close with a special surprise screening of a modern sports classic that packs a serious emotional punch. Keep your eyes on the prize with these great films and more all summer long in Christie Pits Park!
Eyes on the Prize is co-curated by Emily Reid and Felan Parker. This series is made possible with funding from Ontario Arts Council and Toronto Arts Council.

Study: IIS More Likely To Be Compromised
Apache and IIS are equally at fault for pumping malware into the wild, according to a new study.
By Keith Ward
Apache and Internet Information Services (IIS) Web servers are equally at fault for pumping malware into the wild, according to a new study, but a higher percentage of IIS servers are compromised.
Those results come from a survey by the Google Anti-Malware Team. The results, however, should be taken with a grain of salt, since myriad mitigating factors are at work. Apache is an open-source Web server, while IIS is Microsoft's Web server.
The two servers are by far the most popular on the Internet, handling 89 percent of all traffic. Google examined about 70,000 domains in the last month that have been distributing malware, and determined that both Apache and IIS are responsible for pushing out 49 percent of the viruses and exploits. Since Apache is running on almost three times as many servers -- 66 percent to 23 percent -- as IIS, the percentage of IIS servers that are compromised is much higher. Google states in the study that "Compared to our sample of servers across the Internet, Microsoft IIS features twice as often (49% vs. 23%) as a malware distributing server."
The study also broke down the Web server distribution by country, and came up with some interesting results. The countries included in the survey included the U.S., China, Russia, Germany and South Korea. Although the distribution of Web servers is fairly even throughout the five nations, a Web server belching out malware in China and South Korea is much more likely to be an IIS server.
Since both China and South Korea are known to have high concentrations of pirated software, much of which is from Microsoft, those numbers make more sense. For instance, Microsoft makes certain patches available only for validated copies of IIS.
Apache may also have fewer compromised Web servers because its admins are more adept. The study's authors hint at this when they state "It is important to note that while many servers serve malware as a result of a server compromise (by remote exploits, password theft via keyloggers, etc.), some servers are configured to serve up exploits by their administrators." Apache is significantly more difficult to configure and administer, so those who manage them may have greater knowledge and experience than their IIS counterparts. This points more to a failing of admins rather than an inherent insecurity in the Web server.
Whatever the ultimate meaning in the study, the summary quote should be taken to heart by every Web server administrator: "Our analysis demonstrates how important it is to keep web servers patched to the latest patch level."
The survey can be found here.

The Do or Do Not Outlook: 70 Steps to Achieving Your Dreams
by Nick Maley "That Yoda Guy"
published by Future Horizons (Light World Publications)
pub date November 1, 2019
AMBER LOVE 04-OCT-2019 This review is a courtesy provided by NetGalley. To support this site and my other work, please consider being a monthly donor at Patreon.com/amberunmasked; you can also buy my books through Amazon (or ask your local retailer to order you copies). I'm also an Amazon Influencer so you can shop through my lists of recommended products.
Publisher's Summary:
The Do or Do Not Outlook is an indispensable aid to personal growth. Nick Maley, renowned worldwide as "That Yoda Guy" for his involvement in the Star Wars original trilogy, turns traditional wisdom on its head and examines the fears and obstacles that discourage us from taking the risk of reaching for the stars. His main message? You can't live an exceptional life by being "normal."
Nick Maley's book isn't a typical book, because Maley isn't a typical guy. Each page discusses one of 70 pointers that mentor readers, daily, through the journey toward living their dream. The inspirational pages do include some hidden gems about the movies he's worked on, but his main focus is on achievement and the work it takes to make that happen — whatever someone's goal may be. It's the Jedi's guide to self-empowerment!
In the final third of the book, Maley details how this book's main themes (including determination, persistence, hard work, and celebrating individuality) helped rocket him from the low-income housing of his youth to the sets of some of Hollywood's biggest blockbusters. If you're a movie buff, he also includes a compelling filmography giving a behind-the-scenes look into the sets he's worked on, including The Shining, Superman, Highlander, and more.
With an unconventional take on traditional attitudes, this book is filled with simple truths showing how the author experienced life on his own terms — all because he dared to be that little guy who thought BIG. The Do or Do Not Outlook is your guide to do the same.
I'll be honest, at first this book of motivational lessons seemed like it had many brilliant quotes, but lacked being grounded in reality. Happily, as the book went on, I discovered I was wrong. However, I would recommend that you read the sections in a different order so you get Nick Maley's autobiographical chapter first to lay all the necessary groundwork for how he came up with these "#protip" quotes. Skip to "A LIFE BEYOND THE BOX: APPLYING THOSE PRINCIPLES FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T BELIEVE A MAN CAN FLY." After that, depending what draws you, go back to the beginning for all the advice or read through Maley's long history in the film and music industries.
"You need to develop a thick skin and have an ego big enough to keep smiling despite frequent disappointment."
My reasons for suggesting this is that the autobiography section shows all the steps of how Maley grew up in poverty. His mother was a bookkeeper and his father, an entertainer who was well-versed in theater makeup application. Before reading through those details, I kept thinking Maley was out of touch and spouting great meme-worthy tips without acknowledging that affluence and influence do exist in every business. The truth is Maley busted his ass from his teen years to break into the make-up/special FX and directing roles that earned him acclaim. He may be known as "That Yoda Guy" since his backup puppet ended up being used in 90% of The Empire Strikes Back, but he has done so much work. He took just about any job, no matter how far he had to travel nor how awful the tasks were. Adding fake tans to "pasty white Englishmen's legs and feet" for example, were among the less than glamorous jobs. He was a professional by age seventeen.

This young age ambition struck me as inspirational, but then I had to wonder why Maley went on to then hire young people (sixteen years old and the like) when he had his own hiring responsibilities. He said it's to help people who were like him and give them the experience. Aren't there labor laws? His work was more than part-time and even more than full-time hours. Maley described periods where he went without sleep, food, or even showers because the work days were so long and deadlines so short. One tip is "Sleep Faster: Most people generally accept that they should get eight hours of sleep each night. This is the amount largely recommended in order to be alert and rested." So, here Maley knows the importance of rest, but then he advises against it; sleep less and work more.
I have highlighted an absolute ton of Maley's great quotes because on a superficial level, they are motivating. BUT, I cannot endorse avoiding rest, nutritional intake, and a healthy career/personal life balance. Plenty of his advice I do endorse such as focusing on one job at a time. In the 1980s the almighty buzzword "multitasking" came into the zeitgeist. It was everywhere. In schools. In job applications. It was a word that I could not personally escape until this last decade of job hunting (20-teens). Finally, health advocates are being heard that multitasking is a load of shit. It was Ron Swanson on Parks & Recreation who said it best: "Never half ass two things. Whole ass one thing."
Another area where Maley and I agree is that normal is overrated. Be weird. Be different. If your personal ambition seems to be diverting you from the popular (happily mediocre) crowd, that's a great thing. It should be celebrated.
"As a youngster, I was underrated for being dyslexic, with a degree of attention deficit, too. Look at me. I did okay. And you can, too, if you don't let other people's small-minded views limit your perception of your own self-worth and the possibilities life has in store for you."
Maley strongly implies that age-old philosophy that if you believe you can do something, then you truly can. It's cheery advice. It's poetic. But believing that someone who uses a wheelchair is going to someday run the Boston Marathon is unrealistic. Could they find ways to get a sports-adapted wheelchair? Possibly. If they can fund it. Despite coming from poverty, Maley seems to truly want everyone to think that they can be exceptional and seems to believe that everyone has his energy.
"A cutting-edge apprenticeship is worth much more than any college course."
Maley talks about the importance of starting at the bottom. He returns to this often so it sinks in. Maybe you start at the mailroom, but if it gets you into the office to drop an envelope with the person you want to someday work for (or have working for you), you put in the time.
What I want readers to know is that this is a book that's going to energize you, but PLEASE know that you should not sacrifice your health for work even when it's your dream job. There are serious reasons people can't follow their dreams. They have someone to care for. They may be the breadwinner of the house already struggling. They may have a health condition or illness. While disabilities can be something people overcome — like artists who paint using their toes to hold brushes or musicians who are blind — support systems are critical. Absolutely critical.
You can thoroughly enjoy the behind-the-scenes tales of how Sir Anthony Hopkins is a delight but director Michael Mann is the type of horrible boss you want to avoid. You can read about how he got to befriend Graham Freeborn and his masterful make-up FX father, Stuart Freeborn. Maley faced resentment for being a union member for makeup not directing so some felt he had no business running a second unit.
"And yes, I did some pretty menial jobs to get through until the next significant opportunity arose. When cash was really low, I filled my old car with gasoline so I could get to the next job. Then I walked everywhere or took the bus. I would show up at friends' houses at meal times and hope they took pity on me by sharing a little food. While my friend were finishing college and getting married, their new wives thought I was a flake and a dreamer. But they helped me with one edible handout after another."
Lastly, one of the nicest and most insightful pieces of advice is that you have to find the right life partner (or whoever is your support system). His wife Gloria has been a fundamental part of his success and now that they live in Sint Maarten, they have a life of paradise.
"You need to share your life with someone who supports your madness. Not someone thinks you should be normal."
The Do or Do Not Outlook is meant to be read in bits and pieces. As I already suggested, go to the autobiography part first. It's not a long read. Maley suggests picking up the book and taking a piece of advice daily to digest. There are spaces for your own journaling or note-taking. There are some great BTS photos for the Star Wars fans too.

The democratization of airport lounges
When she has the time to get to the airport early, Anne Marie Mitchell, a communications professor in Chicago, will deal with herself to a number of hrs in the airport lounge, both applying a cost-free move from her airline credit score card or paying out a working day-use fee.

"You get access to a bar, a awesome thoroughly clean toilet, treats and it's uncrowded," she explained. "It can make traveling extra pleasurable."
Airline lounges, bastions of civilization in airport terminals that are now typically overstuffed with irritated passengers, many thanks to flight delays and cancellations, have prolonged been the retreat of the frequent-traveling elite, forward-course ticket holders and these with costly credit rating cards.
Now, with leisure travelers leading the recovery of the airline field as small business visitors lags, some golf equipment have built it much easier for rather rare flyers to assert a few predeparture benefits, even though other folks — which includes Delta Sky Club, which adopted a new rule that no user may enter the club far more than 3 several hours forward of their scheduled flight — grapple with growing pains.
The expanding earth of golf equipment
Historically, legacy carriers, like American Airlines, Delta Air Traces and United Airways in the United States, have operated lounges for passengers traveling in 1st and business lessons, as effectively as recurrent flyers who qualify for membership. Their choices often include regular clubs (these kinds of as United Club at United) and much more unique types for forward-class flyers on extensive-haul international flights (United Polaris).
A different course of clubs welcomes customers flying any carrier. These involve Precedence Move, which features obtain to far more than 1,300 lounges in a lot more than 600 metropolitan areas (membership programs involve 10 visits for $299 a year).
In this scenario, a lounge may well be an actual airline club, such as the Plumeria Lounge from Hawaiian Airlines that Precedence Pass members have accessibility to in Honolulu community airport dining places that supply a meals credit score, these kinds of as Stephanie's restaurant at Boston Logan Worldwide Airport other club brand names, this sort of as Moment Suites, which are personal rooms, at Dallas-Fort Worth Global Airport or airport amenities this kind of as the Be Unwind Spa at Los Angeles International Airport, exactly where customers get credit rating for a chair massage.
Progressively, lounge customers are not airline devotees, but holders of pricey credit history playing cards.
"It's turn into well known to bundle lounge obtain with a high quality credit rating card," claimed Gary Leff, who writes the airline website See From The Wing. "It's a way of providing cards and retaining users."
American Categorical Platinum cardholders have accessibility to numerous airline lounges, as perfectly as the company's personal Centurion Lounges, which are observed in 13 American towns — with new types coming to Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta and Washington's Reagan Nationwide in 2023 — for a complete of additional than 1,400 lounges globally. The card costs $695 yearly, with credits up to $400 a year in lodge and airline bills, among benefits.
Now other banks are finding into the lounge match, such as Capital 1, which opened its initially lounge — with a stationary biking home, showers and craft cocktails — in November at Dallas-Fort Worthy of, with stick to-ups prepared for Denver and Washington Dulles, in 2023. Entry is limited to entrepreneurs of the bank's Enterprise X card, which fees $395 a calendar year, and their visitors the card's perks contain credits up to $300 for journey purchases.
JPMorgan Chase has announced it will open up its very own brand, Chase Sapphire Lounge by the Club, with six worldwide places, like Boston, Phoenix and New York's LaGuardia Airport commencing upcoming year and accessible to holders of its Chase Sapphire Reserve card ($550 a calendar year with rewards, such as $300 in credits on travel purchases and Precedence Go membership).
What price tag sanity?
In these instances of airline mayhem, numerous travelers are ready to get them selves out of the airport hell of sitting on the flooring to get shut to the only out there electrical outlet in the concourse, a rescue made available by pay-for every-use golf equipment.
Plaza Top quality Group, which has dining establishments, lounges and motels in far more than 70 world wide airports, recently introduced its PPL Move Americas, which expenses $59 for two visits within a year to most of its lounges in North, Central and South The united states. The move receives you into stand-alone Plaza Top quality Lounges and the airline lounges it operates for the likes of Virgin Atlantic, Avianca and Air France. There are six qualified lounges in the United States, with a new place in Orlando, Florida, predicted to open afterwards this year.
"The to start with and business top-tier top quality frequent flyer is perfectly taken care of," explained Jonathan Song, the director of world enterprise development for the corporation. "The remaining 85% are economic system class and are airline agnostic, which is exactly where we see the increase of cost-effective luxurious. Individuals want to love the VIP providers they would in first and company, but might not want to expend that volume for the ticket."
Now affiliated with American Categorical, Escape Lounges, also called Centurion Studios, has 14 spots, such as Minneapolis and Sacramento, California, that offer spend-per-use ideas at $40 a go to, if booked online 24 hrs in progress, and $45 at the door (Platinum cardholders have complimentary admission). Access presents normal benefits, like cost-free web accessibility, food items and drinks, and new spots are predicted later on this year at airports in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Columbus, Ohio.
Another solution, the Club, has 16 locations in the United States, which includes New Orleans and Seattle, and two in London. It sells no memberships and operates strictly on a shell out-for each-use basis at $45 a visit (no cost to Precedence Pass holders).
For one-end buying, the site and app Lounge Buddy sells airport lounge passes setting up at $25. Between lounges with similar features at, for case in point, London Heathrow — this kind of as Wi-Fi and no cost food and drink — the website delivers $39 passes to Plaza Quality Lounges and $74 to the Lufthansa Business Lounge. In Barbados, a pass charges $27.
United offers working day passes to its United Clubs for $59 on its application. Annual memberships price tag $650 or 85,000 miles for most repeated flyer users. American Airlines also sells one-day passes to its Admirals Golf equipment for $59 or 5,900 miles. Delta does not supply paid out obtain.
Thinking of the large selling prices of airport concessions — a vendor at LaGuardia was not too long ago censured for marketing a $27 beer — hungry vacationers may perhaps discover admission worthwhile.
"On a one-off foundation, with a prolonged relationship, you can make the math do the job for you, depending on how significantly you would if not invest," Leff claimed. "You can eat and consume your income back, and probably it is much less crowded and you have a ability port to plug into."
Further than complimentary gin and tonics, flyers in a reserving jam may possibly locate it beneficial to fork out the rate at an airline lounge to get prompt airline assistance.
"If your flight is canceled and there is a two-hour wait around to chat to anyone, shell out the $50 club cost and you will get access to agents who are likely to be the most seasoned and can do wonderful points to get you in which you want to be," claimed Brian Kelly, the founder of the web page the Points Male, which handles loyalty benefits.
No area in the club
Relying on when you fly, even shopping for your way in may be out of the query these days as go holders have been turned absent, thanks to ability crowds.
"Centurion lounges are like going to TGI Friday's. You check out in and they buzz you when there is open up area," Kelly reported. "As we've viewed with travel this summer season, persons are raring to go and have skipped out on quality experiences the very last number of many years, so when they're touring, they are splurging."
The crowding trouble isn't automatically new, but some new elements, together with airport staffing shortages, have exacerbated it.
"Many superior lounges were being crowded prior to the pandemic," Leff mentioned. "Now individuals are arriving previously due to the fact of the uncertainty of stability strains and then acquiring they have extra time to get rid of."
"Now there are even queues outside the lounge, a thing I experienced by no means encountered in the pre-COVID vacation era," Haris Stavridis, the owner of a public relations agency in London, wrote in an electronic mail. "Lounges are meant to be your safe and sound haven, but they're turning out to be problematic now."
Some clubs are addressing the surge, which include Delta Sky Clubs with its new three-hour rule. Nevertheless it is nearly doubling the dimension of its San Francisco Centurion Lounge and tripling its club footprint in Seattle this yr, American Specific will get started charging cardholders for friends (adults, $50) commencing subsequent year unless a person spends at least $75,000 a 12 months on the card.
Clubs may possibly be victims of their own achievements, but accessing them may well nonetheless be the most inexpensive up grade-per-perk you can get when flying these days.
"Everybody has some kind of privilege now with Amex or miles or acquiring in," reported Patrick Rollo of Providence, Rhode Island, who travels commonly for his operate in authentic estate. "So, everybody's heading to the lounge."

Groups of the Narrative Project graduates initiate and apply activities and projects for the benefit of the community on both sides
The initiatives and the projects are based on the insights the participants gained from the Parallel Narratives Project
The PCFF Parallel Narrative Experience (PNE) provides a life altering experience for many of its participants. Palestinians and Israelis complete the program with a new understanding of the conflict and of the other side, with a belief that reconciliation is possible, and with a desire to keep in touch with each other and to work together to promote a change in the harsh reality of the conflict.
It is this desire that spurred on various groups of project graduates in 2015, to initiate and implement activities and shared projects for the benefit of the communities on both sides. The initiatives and the projects are based on the insights the participants gained from the Parallel Narratives Project.
Some of the adapted activities for the different needs of the communities, which the PNE Alumni Community had identified:
A playroom for kids in the Palestinian village Idna: The playroom is operated by teenagers from the village and provides a solution for the lack of after-school enrichment for children.
Production of a Hebrew-Arabic phrase booklet: The booklet is used by several hospital units, where both Jewish and Arab patients who don't have a shared language are hospitalized.
Development of a web site called "Hokokona" ("Our Rights"): The site organizes information in Arabic about entities and organizations that help and support Palestinians whose rights are being compromised.
The launch of the "It's Time for Peace" Facebook page: As part of the campaign, pairs of Israelis and Palestinians are photographed together, in an effort to promote reconciliation and peace between the peoples, and to emphasize the importance of familiarity when breaking the barrier of fear and stereotypes.
Tatreez for Peace project: The project connects between fashion companies and Palestinian embroiderers, for the development of products that combine special embroidery, to promote the message of peace and support the employment of the embroidering women.
As more participants completed the PNE, a growing alumni base organically grew out of the project – Israelis and Palestinians who, after experiencing a transformation in the PNE phase, solidified their commitment to reconciliation and have a high potential and desire to be agents of change.
This alumni body is a vital resource, not only for the PCFF, but also for a more vibrant civil society. In 2017, it was decided to recognize all the PNE alumni as a single community, and establish a framework of activities for this community which currently includes nearly 1,000 people. The Alumni Action Program provides opportunities for the graduates to meet, learn and work together as agents of change and ambassadors who carry and voice PCFF messages.
The community is being mobilized by selected alumni, within four committees:
Steering committee: Oversees all alumni community activities, connects between the entire alumni community and the various committees and coordinates the activities of all the committees.
Language committee: Promotes learning the language of the other peoples among the PNE graduates, in order to improve the ability of Israeli and Palestinian alumni to work together.
Education for peace committee: Organizes lectures, field trips, workshops and other activities, that aim to expand the graduates' knowledge about the conflict and its manifestation in day-to-day life, in order to provide them with tools to help them in planning activities to change the current reality.
The solidarity committee: Organizes activities among the Israeli and Palestinian public, to promote reconciliation and non-violence.

Lillian and Daniel live in Edmonton, Alberta, so they accomplished a huge amount of their planning from afar — we even had our meetings online over Google Video Chat!
Great food was a high priority for these two as they are even MORE intense foodies than Kitty and I! You can follow them on their gastronomic adventures at Beyond Umami. If you want to do a bit of research on which local restaurants are best, or you're looking for a delicious recipe, or just want to get some culinary inspiration, be sure to check them out! They even bake their own bread and make their own hand-made noodles!
It's always encouraging when you meet men who truly love their spouse. The truth about men and their emotions is that men are extremely emotional about the people and the things that they actually care about. You can easily tell — Daniel deeply cares for Lillian! Both their families are so loving, kind, and supportive. Daniel's father (quite the handyman!) even hand-crafted Lillian's engagement ring box!
Plus, you can tell that people really love and respect these two. At larger receptions, it can be difficult to ensure that everyone has quieted down so that speeches can be heard, however, at their wedding, every guest was turned and completely focused and attentive to every word … wow! It's just a simple affirmation as to how much people love them, want to hear from them, and want to support them.
Congratulations, Lillian and Daniel — may you continue to love each other more and more deeply each day!
