Sears CEO's hedge fund buys rest of chain's assets | Kaufman & Forman, P.C.
On behalf of Kaufman, Miller & Foreman, P.C. of Kaufman & Forman, P.C. posted in Sales & Dissolutions on Thursday, January 17, 2019.
The long saga of Sears department stores has a new and possibly final chapter. The 132-year-old chain recently confirmed that that the ESL hedge fund of Sears CEO Eddie Lampert has won tentative approval to purchase the final 425 stores as well as the rest of the chain's assets during a bankruptcy auction (the company filed Chapter 11 in October of 2018). The purchase for $5.2 billion is subject to court approval on February 1. If approved, the deal would then close on February 8.
The 132-year-old company still employs about 45,000 workers, which got to keep their jobs despite calls from unsecured creditors for liquidation. The company has teetered on the brink of insolvency several times since Lampert's hedge fund bought it.
Critics and creditors of Lampert and ESL claim that the sum parts of the company are worth more than the company. The chain will continue to provide tax breaks to ESL thanks to years of net operating losses. Lampert has also courted controversy by selling the company's more lucrative assets like Craftsman Tools, Lands' End and Kenmore (the latter two were then purchased by ESL). ESL has also taken the unusual step of buying hundreds of stores and either selling the desirable real estate or renting the stores to their previous owners. While some question their wisdom, these moves have added some desperately needed liquidity to the business.
The Sears saga has been followed in the media because of its iconic place in U.S. culture, but also the controversial approach taken by Lampert. Whether the CEO gets the last laugh or not, other business owners would be wise to work with attorneys who have experience handling business law, transactions, bankruptcy and other important matters. These attorneys can help clients weigh options to determine the best course of action whether the company is worth thousands, millions or billions.

B.F.E. Services is always on the lookout for second hand machines (we do offer trade-in deals, also). On some machines we do believe it is better to go new as there is not always a big saving – you'll see this for yourself when you come to know how competitive our pricing is. We can, however, source you a second hand machine with our contacts in Europe and the USA, which we can refurbish to meet your needs.


Had this installed and only used a handfull of times the black coating in the glass is being removed from the glass. Called kitchenaid and it being sunday they are closed. This was just a regular flat calphlone pan that was on there. Cant use due to look of cooktop. Will keep everyone informed depending on feedback.
This cooktop is either defective or deficient. 35 minutes to boil 6 quarts of water for pasta on the Ultra Power burner. Slow to cook anything and everything. Had the service tech out; he never saw one of theses units and was a waste of time. The controls are far from user friendly; the last design was much better. Very disappointed after ten years with my last Kitchenaid cooktop.
Easy to use...several burners have variable sizes...safety control lock.
Love my new cooktop. Easy to use and looks great. First time I went with no knobs and I'll never go back.
Very nice, easy to use, fast heating elements.
I love my new smooth surface cooktop! It is so easy to clean and is great to no longer to clean around knobs. It is great to be able to adjust the pan size. I love the safety features as well. You can lock the controls so they cannot accidentally be turned on. It also beeps if you place anything on top of the controls. I greatly recommend this cooktop.
Extremely satisfied with this cooktop.
Obtained this 2 weeks ago to replace an existing cooktop that my wife dropped a hot pan on the corner and cracked it. I like the fact that this one has aluminum trim across the front and back that should protect it against similar accidents.
Maybe I need more time with this cooktop, but it is very difficult to use. Not at all intuitive. I keep pushing, and pushing. Sometimes something happens, sometimes it doesn't.
I am very happy with this cooktop. It is the best cooktop I have ever owned and used. It is very easy to use and clean because there are no knobs.
I wanted a cooktop for a real cook, with enough room and the features I needed that also looked beautiful. This one gave me both.
Love my new cooktop easy to use and clean.
This cooktop is efficient as well as safe and great looking!
Great features but needed to teach my family how to adjust the heat temperature. Needed to read book to learn but other than that great product.
yes, love my new cook top.
I live this cook too. Very easy to operate, has "zone" size, so I can fit the burner to my pan. Easy to keep clean!
The best feature is the lock on the cooktop, with the conrtroll being digital I don't have to worry about my cats accidentally turning it on while I'm away.
Pulls my kitchen together. Easy to use and clean, I love the ease of adjusting the heat temperature on each burner, and the lock ensures my cats don't accidentally turn one on when I'm not home.
Very happy with my new cooktop. Thought it might be a challenge to operate, but found it was easy to learn. Cleans up beautifully.
Cooktop is easy to use and would recommend it to anyone.
I purchased 3 Kitchenaid Appliances for my new kitchen. There was insufficient foam tape supplied to mount the cooktop to the granite countertop. I spent an hour on the phone, spoke to customer service, parts, customer service again and then a supervisor to find out that the tape would require my purchasing it........$25.59 a roll plus S&H and it was on backorder till April. The cooktop requires 106" of tape to go around it. I received 38". i am a very angry first customer!
I am an avid cook & I love all the features of this cook top. I makes cooking so easy with its' adjustments and easily recognizable touch controls.
So easy to clean and use.
Rapid heating and very easy to keep clean. The controls are a little confusing at first, but just take getting used to.
Would prefer smaller burner in front. Still like it.
Difficult to get the level you want. I just hate electric cooking. Takes time for it to get to a lower level. Then things boil over. Can't get all the marks off the cooktop. It gets very hot in the kitchen when it's on.
Cooktop is very functional and the controls are sensitive enough that I have not had a problem with something cooking too high or too low. Only two areas that I would recommend for improvement. When the cooktop is off - I cannot tell where the actual cook surfaces are as there is not enough contrast in color shading between the cooking areas and the rest of the glass. The other area for improvement is that 3 of the cooking areas are in the back and only one is in front. The touch controls show two surfaces in front and two in rear. So when I am trying to turn on the right most rear surface (which is actually the right front at the touch control panel) I am always turning on the center back - this is really confusing.
It is impossible to keep clean.
I'm glad I chose this as my replacement cooktop. The burners heat up quickly and the burner temperatures lower quickly too. The multi-sized burners fit a wide variety of pans. The touch activated controls are easy to use. The lock feature is a great safety feature.
Newly installed in my kitchen; easy to use and easy to clean.
I had my cookstove for only a couple of weeks when I noticed a big scratch on the top. I did not realize that the cooktop would scratch. No one ever top us that you almost need special pans to help avoid scratches. I had a ceramic cooktop for 20 years and not once did I have a scratch and so I figured this would be the same. After numerous calls to different people affiliated with Nebraska Furniture Mart (where it was purchased) and to Kitchen-Aid I've found out that I get to live with this scratch until I purchase a new cooktop.
Love all the burners !
I bought this because I wanted the smooth cooktop for easy cleaning, with no knobs to clean around. It is a breeze to keep clean! I use a cooktop cleaner and a razor to scrape off residue. It is just as gleaming as the day it was installed! Even after frying on it, the grease residue comes right off! I am also happy that I can still use my cast iron cookware on it! I had heard that you could not use cast iron on a smooth top cooktop, but that is not true! I have 3 skillets that are cast iron and they all work very well on this cooktop and do not scratch!! The cooktop works wonderfully! The power burners work great when you need heat fast. The only small thing that I wish was different is that the burner markings are difficult to see on the surface so sometimes my pan is not on the center of the burner because I can't see the markings well. Overall, I could not be happier with this and am so glad I got it!
I like the look and functions however I find the cook surface to be had to keep clean and to clean.
I love my new Kitchenaid cooktop, it heats fast, cools fast, is easy to clean and it looks great in my kitchen.
This cook top was a replacement for a defective GE Profile cook top. (It would totally shut off after about 15 min of use at high temps). The Kitchen Aid model does function properly, thank goodness, but is very difficult to clean and the surface scratches too easily. I've only used it for a month and despite using the correct cookware and being careful to pick up the pans/griddles instead of sliding them, I already notice scratches. And I thought I would save cleaning time and effort with a glass cook top but I spend more time trying to remove cooking spatters and boilovers than with a conventional range! There were no helpful cleaning products or scrapers included so I used the cleaner and scraper that worked beautifully with my GE cook top - which did clean up like a dream compared with the Kitchen Aid. I have spills that I can't completely remove now and I don't know how it will look a year from now. Also, the burner placement is inconvenient - to stir a sauce on a small burner, you're reaching over big hot pots. And there is no bridge for two-burner griddles. You have to span two burners, a large burner and a small burner, on an angle. It works okay, but it could have been designed better. I cook a lot and I'm constantly worried that I'm going to damage this cooktop. Though it looked beautiful right out of the box, I think I would have been happier with a conventional range and/or cooktop.
Perfect for my new modern kitchen! easy to use, easy to clean, looks great on my island!
We bought our new cooktop three months ago and we are totally satisfied with it. We keep wondering why we waited so long. I especially like the controls allowing a simmer and keep warm with no worries about food boiling over or sticking. It is so easy to clean and looks great all the time.
So sleek, gives my kitchen a whole new look. Love that there are no knobs sticking up and nothing to clean under. Easy to clean and since I have animals, love the lock out feature.
bought this with my new home and was really impressed with its features and easy cleanup.

Kerry lead the pack again but are Cork even the second-best team in Munster anymore?
James O'Donoghue of Kerry in action against Martin McMahon, right and Ciaran Russell of Clare. Picture: Sam Barnes/Sportsfile
Barry O'Donovan
THERE are reasons to dismiss the Munster football championship as meaningless and irrelevant.
Kerry have won the last five – three of the finals by 10 points or more – and it feels like an awful long time since Cork have beaten their old rivals. Honestly, 2012 feels like a different time altogether.
Eamonn Fitzmaurice has an eye on revenge on Mayo after last year's non-performance in the All-Ireland semi-final, focus has been on building a team that can challenge and ultimately defeat Dublin and Munster exists mainly for Kerry as a path to that end goal, a testing ground for more real challenges.
The super eight of the All-Ireland football championship has sort of given an alternative goal for more or less everyone in the mid-tier of counties as well, where teams with no real hope of winning an All-Ireland and who previously had only vague ideas about what round would be a realistic aim have been tending to set the quarter-final group stage as something that's attainable and worthwhile. Though clearly, many are going to be disappointed, much as everyone thinks they're capable.
Cork would take a last eight outcome for year one of the Ronan McCarthy era, a flat and very clear sort of measurement on the success of a year, where not reaching that stage is clearly less than satisfactory, and where reaching that section of the tournament immediately lends a sense of progress. Clare and Tipp would both have gotten there the year before last and might think it's possible again.
Recent history then might suggest a closed championship and yet there's something in the idea that there's an openness developing in Munster, away from the title winners especially. Tipp and Cork have been only a score apart in the last two championships and the league game this year reflected quite accurately the different stages of development of the two. Clare have beaten Cork in the last two league campaigns. Waterford were what, maybe 10 minutes and a bit of experience/quality from taking Cork out in Dungarvan last year.
Limerick haven't quite recovered momentum from the end of the John Galvin era but wouldn't be frightened of anybody outside Kerry. Cork's place as top of the chasing park is as vulnerable as it's been for some time and that means there are games and potential wins/ losses that will have meaning here. Kerry won't have a successful year by just winning Munster but a defeat at any stage along the way in the province would probably call an end to more ambitious outings down the road for this year.
There is a to-do list for Munster then.
Tipp will target beating Cork again as a real statement, to show that two years ago wasn't a once-off and to properly reflect a power shift in their direction - any gap in quality in the league opener down the Páirc probably leaned towards Liam Kearns' team. The likes of Michael Quinlivan, Conor Sweeney, Steven O'Brien, Robbie Kiely, have been around for a few years now and there will be a genuine target of winning big games and putting together another serious run; it'll be interesting to see how they deal with that expectation of performances and results.
Clare will be thinking of an optimum moment for a shock at a stage of development where purpose and clear improvements have been made in Colm Collins' time, where key players are at peak form and they'll want to make the most of momentum and belief behind this current set-up.
Again, they didn't look out of place in beating Cork in this year's league, with no reasoning or excuses for that result beyond Clare being a more controlled, more balanced and more consistent team right now. It's hard to imagine Clare having enough big wins in them to make it through a super eight but if they are to have one statement performance in them it's a possibility to come in Munster against a Kerry team that's not settled or sure of itself yet.
Kevin Crowley reaches for the ball ahead of Liam McGrath of Tipperary. Picture: Matt Browne/Sportsfile
We'll look at Cork in more detail but the target in Munster will be pretty basic: win the first game. It's hard to see Cork being able to recover from a loss to Tipp (or Waterford) to make anything of the year afterwards; the Munster opener is that defining right now for Ronan McCarthy's season to establish a base for the summer.
So, not exactly priority yet vital for almost every county in different ways. Munster football has never been completely box office. Can you really recall a classic Munster football campaign in the same way you could a Munster hurling or Ulster football year?
And still it'll make or break at least two of the main four counties' seasons. Think of the FA Cup, where we constantly get told how rubbish and outdated it is yet read and see each year the importance of one great day winning a trophy and how much that means to the individual players.
A Kerry cruise to six in a row would be the least interesting outcome. A Cork emergence through a confident win over Tipp and a rocking Páirc for a Munster final could catch the imagination.
A Munster final for Tipp would probably be more an expectation for them than a breakthrough at this stage. A Munster final for Clare would be a game-changer obviously.
We'll certainly have a better idea of where each county is by the end of June.

Les NSZ (Narodowe Siły Zbrojne, Forces armées nationales) étaient un mouvement de résistance polonais contre l'Occupation allemande pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Histoire
Les NSZ (dont les membres étaient appelés Nesezowcy) furent créées le , de la fusion de l'Organizacja Wojskowa Związek Jaszczurczy (Organisation militaire - Union du lézard) et d'une partie de la Narodowa Organizacja Wojskowa (Organisation militaire nationale). Au comble de leurs effectifs, elles atteignirent un total de  à , ce qui faisait d'elles la seconde par le nombre des organisations de la Résistance polonaise (après l'Armia Krajowa). Une partie des NSZ joignirent l'Armia Krajowa en mars 1944. La seule branche qui resta à l'écart était la NSZ-ZJ (Związek Jaszczurczy, Union du lézard). Des unités (de 800 à , selon les sources) de la NSZ prirent part à l'Insurrection de Varsovie.

En janvier 1945, une brigade des NSZ, la Brygada Świętokrzyska (Brigade des Montagnes de la Sainte-Croix) se replia devant l'Armée rouge, en accord avec les Allemands, dans le Protectorat de Bohême-Moravie. Elle reprit toutefois le combat contre les nazis le  en Bohême, libérant des femmes du camp de concentration de Holiszowo. La brigade subit de lourdes pertes.

Les NSZ occupaient l'extrême droite du spectre politique. Leur programme comportait la lutte pour l'indépendance polonaise aussi bien contre l'Allemagne nazie que contre l'Union soviétique stalinienne et visait d'une part à rétablir la frontière orientale d'avant la guerre, du temps de la Deuxième République de Pologne, et d'autre part à recouvrer à l'ouest les Ziemie Odzyskane, Ziemie Zachodnie i Północne, territoires germanisés (Poméranie, Silésie, etc.) qui avaient appartenu à la Pologne dans une histoire séculaire.

. Cette méthode de guerre contre les NSZ fut également pratiquée juste après la guerre par la police secrète polonaise (UB) et la Milicja Obywatelska (MO), comme le révélèrent des documents judiciaires de la République populaire de Pologne. On a reproché aux NSZ diverses opérations de « pacification », mais, par faute de preuves, elles n'ont pas fait l'objet d'un procès pour crimes de guerre.

 même après que l'Armée rouge eut pris le contrôle de la Pologne. La position anticommuniste des Forces Armées Nationales, toutefois, n'a jamais été analysée en profondeur. Elle n'est pas à considérer comme un conflit exclusivement idéologique. Les communistes polonais, contrôlés par Moscou, essayèrent de saboter le mouvement patriotique avec autant d'énergie qu'ils sabotaient l'envahisseur allemand. Les bandes communistes pillaient la campagne. Le meurtre et le viol étaient à l'ordre du jour. Un des buts des NSZ était de protéger la population contre le banditisme et la violence. Les NSZ décrivaient et évaluaient comme suit les activités communistes :

Les membres des NSZ, comme d'autres soldats réprouvés (Żołnierze wyklęci), furent persécutés dans les années staliniennes qui suivirent la guerre. Dans l'automne 1946, un groupe de 100 à 200 soldats des NSZ furent attirés dans un piège et massacrés. Toutefois, en 1992, après que la Pologne eut été libérée de l'occupation soviétique, les soldats réprouvés furent réhabilités et reçurent le statut d'anciens combattants.

On 21 January, the ANUC Board gathered in a meeting to validate the transfer of the presidency in 2019 to the Union of Musical Composers and Critics of Romania (UCMR). Mr Adrian Iorgulescu, UCMR President, will act as leading Chairman of the organisation during this mandate.
The priority in setting the 2019 agenda is the advocacy in the governmental authorities in favour of restoring the national prizes for literature, arts and achitecture, initiated by GD in 2008, and of developping the national funds for the public acquisition of art works and cultural artifacts. Besides that, a preoccupation for ANUC will be the bursaries and artistic residencies for young artists.
Dialogue with the Ministry of Culture and National Identity as well as with the parliamentary commissions for culture, and all competent central or local administration bodies will be ensured in 2019 too, on topics like financement of artistic projects, legal initiatives of interest for the member unions and others.
ANUC: The National Alliance of Creators Unions is the largest federation of the professional organisations grouping art creators and performers in Romania.

I hope everyone who celebrates had a lovely Christmas! Saw this beautiful Christmas tree yesterday when I was out with a friend. May you enjoy the holidays and time with your loved ones.
Don't Call Him Old
Ginko Strikes Again
I Had a Crush Like That Too
My entire family and I love the anime Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun / Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun (Holic probably being the only other anime we all agree on). Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun is funny, it's cute, and has great characters. If you're looking for a light-hearted, humorous anime about friendship, and a touch of romance, give this one a try.
Chiyo Sakura is absolutely in love with Umetarou Nozaki. He is oblivious. Having experienced something similar (I too, am a sucker for the tall and manly) I understand Sakura's feelings.
The One to Travel With
If Suzu was the one to have a home with, Tanyuu was the one to travel with. Ah Ginko. But I get it ladies, I see the appeal. He's stoic, helps others (people and mushi alike), and has a calming presence.
Like Nelly said, just kidding, unless you're gonna do it…
"Somewhere Anteros is Seething…"* (Or Crying)
*Idea of Anteros as it relates to this episode of Mushishi was presented here https://mushi-shi.fandom.com/wiki/Suzu by an unnamed FANDOM User on 8/22/2019.
Ginko tends to attract mushi (life forms that are invisible to most people, but can affect humans, and have a supernatural quality). Ginko is a mushishi (mushi-shi), someone knowledgeable about mushi and able to see them. He travels and tries his best to help people and mushi coexist. He is patient, intelligent, and works very hard to help others. Because Ginko attracts mushi, which can cause imbalance or distress, he doesn't stay in one area for too long. He isn't used to having roots in one area or being too familiar with others. Ginko has a doctor friend he visits from time to time. Otherwise he wanders from town to town, meeting new people, and researching mushi.
Season One, Episode 15 of Mushishi (watching on Hulu), Ginko is seeking shelter from the harsh winter weather. He stumbles upon Suzu's home, that she shares with her little brother Miharu.
Since Ginko is usually on his own traveling, it was refreshing seeing Ginko interact with Suzu and Miharu like they were family. I enjoyed seeing him as a father figure, or mentor, to the young boy who was able to see mushi.
I didn't plan on doing so many screen grabs, but dammit if this wasn't one of my favorite episodes so far. Every scene felt meaningful.
Look at Miharu's face! He knows he shouldn't have done that lol.
Ginko and Suzu even parent in a similar way!
With the type of soil near Suzu and the cold weather, Ginko was hoping he'd be alright staying in one place for a little while, but realizes the number of mushi in the area has already increased.
Suzu we know you also want Ginko to stay!
Ginko knows attracting more mushi won't be helpful to Miharu or his sister Suzu.
You can tell Ginko doesn't want to leave and Suzu definitely doesn't want him to leave. Miharu enjoys Ginko's company as well. Unfortunately things being what they are, he doesn't have a choice. Even the mushi repellent that was in an earlier episode would be a temporary fix and not a long term solution. That house near the mountains, with Suzu and Miharu, provided warmth in more ways than one.
It's been a year, so feeling that's been a safe time frame, Ginko returns. You can see how happy he is to be back, especially when you compare it to his expression when he left.
Have you ever felt that you've been so strong for so long, and resilient, but it's been a weight on your shoulders. You've become accustomed to the gradual increase in load, but it's heavy. Suddenly you see that person. That person you feel safe with, whether it's a parent, another family member, friend, or significant other. They give you a sense of relief. Whenever you're with that person, whoever it is, you feel safe and you can let your guard down. And you realize how much you've been carrying? How much you've had on your shoulders? And it just releases from your body? In tears, fatigue, or an outburst? It could even be just a silent hug, that conveys more than words ever could.
That's the feeling Suzu has upon Ginko's return.
Her brother's slumber lasted longer than usual and she is understandably alarmed. Caring for her little brother as the sole guardian can be stressful, especially when he is chasing after mushi, but worrying that he'll never wake up is even more stressful.
Ginko is going out to search for clues to the cause of Miharu's hibernation. Of course mushi are involved.
I'll let you watch the episode to see the reason for Miharu's deep sleep, but ultimately Suzu has to go find Ginko, and bring him all the way back to their home. Oh and now he's afflicted with the deep sleep too. She finds a mushi in Ginko's coat that is helpful to them. It's rare we get to see Ginko be helped, usually he does the helping, so it was nice to see another person caring for him.
Ginko awakens and tries to figure out what's happened. He comes to his senses quickly. Suzu is overjoyed that her brother and Ginko are awake.
You know you'll miss him too Miharu!
At first I was annoyed Ginko wouldn't say goodbye to Suzu, she saved his life! Granted he risked his to save her brother's. But still, he could see her to say farewell. And Ginko's avoiding eye contact in this scene, like he did earlier when he told Suzu he was sorry that he couldn't stay.
I think it would've been incredibly difficult for Ginko to say farewell to Suzu (again), knowing how hard it was the first time. Plus there's a chance he would've changed his mind, and he knows that isn't practical, or safe, for him to stay with Suzu and her brother (as much as they may want to stay together). But still, it would've been nice for him to give Suzu a proper farewell.
The butterflies that are involved with this episode, made me think of that saying about how one shouldn't chase butterflies. I don't know if the idea of chasing butterflies conveys that it's not practical, or unrealistic. Perhaps that is a metaphor for the idea of Ginko living in a home with a family and being happy, in that sense, is impractical.
Ginko wanted to stay. He enjoyed their company. And having a home with a family.
Like that person who left the comment, on the Mushishi Wiki, I can only imagine the frustration Anteros, the Greek God of requited love, is feeling. Having experienced a degree of this myself (no mushi were involved), I know it's frustrating to come to terms with a situation you cannot control. Some people will push the other away because it'll help them make peace with the situation. Someone may limit or restrict contact for the same reason. Perhaps Ginko will return, but I have a feeling that would be too difficult knowing he cannot stay.
Even as a child Ginko knew staying in one place too long wasn't a good idea. It could bring trouble to the folks kind enough to welcome him into their town, as evidenced from an earlier episode when Ginko was saved by a Good Samaritan.
To spare the Good Samaritan, and his town, Ginko left and has lived as a nomad ever since.
He might've been happy living in that town as a child. Like Ginko pointed out to Miharu, at least he had a place he belonged. Ginko doesn't. Although he would've been happy with Miharu and his sister. But alas that was not to be. His leaving didn't mean he loved Suzu any less, if anything he did it to keep her and Miharu safe. Whether he loved her as a friend or more, you may decide for yourself.
No Sense of Direction
I'm watching Mushishi on Hulu. In this particular scene, I feel like Ginko is speaking to me directly.
Yup and I still get lost. Thank God for Waze or I'd never make it anywhere!
Ah. Is this the first time you've been lost Ginko? Well don't panic, for some reason that always makes things worse.
Wait, I forgot who I'm talking to.
Ginko is always cool-headed and never stresses. He is pretty cool that way.
At least he's kept his sense of humor.
I feel personally attacked! And like I found my anime soul sister…so…
This was one of the first animes I watched, so it'll always have a special place in my heart (along with Maid Sama, Special A, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K, Kamisama Kiss, and Noragami). I'm watching on Hulu.
While I relate to Umaru in many ways, I'd like to think I'm not a brat.
At least I hope not.
Meanwhile her big brother is always patient, thoughtful, and kind. And he spends time with her.
He plays video games with her, they enjoy meals and conversation, and even shop for groceries together. I'm curious about the background of the Doma family and how she came to live with her older brother. But he's definitely a hard worker and a good parent figure. He never seems bitter about taking care of her or like his quality of life is less with her around. He'd appreciate her taking better care of things and being more considerate and responsible, but he genuinely seems happy. Although they do have tiffs like all siblings do.
Umaru is top of her class, excels in piano, sports, and is doing great at school. So it's difficult to scold her when she's laying around at home. In her free time she's playing video games (if not watching anime, reading manga, scrolling online, snacking, or napping). While her brother has little, to no free time, and is not great at video games.

Syria Pulse
Aleppo beekeepers no longer feel sting of war
Khaled al-Khateb June 19, 2019
Honey production, a long tradition in the Aleppo countryside, is showing signs of recovery.
Khaled al-Khateb
Mohammed al-Marai, a beekeeper from Aleppo countryside, inspects his hives.
ALEPPO — Mohammed Khattab inherited beekeeping from his father. Through eight years of conflict, war and economic difficulties, he has struggled to keep his hives going. A native of the town of Marea, in the northern Aleppo countryside, Khattab calls his hives "the greatest legacy" from his father.
Beekeeping is one of the oldest professions in the Aleppo countryside, whose mild climate and fertile plains are favorable for bees. The region, particularly in the north, is well known for its light-colored honey, often with undertones of the fennel and coriander found in abundance there. The beekeepers also boast about the nutritional value and health benefits of their honey.
Unsurprisingly, the civil war that erupted in 2012 sent beekeeping and honey production into decline. This was largely due to the unavailability of the treatments used to protect bees from pests and diseases that can negatively affect production if not controlled. A drought in the region delivered a further blow last year.
Despite recent hardships, local beekeepers are hopeful that a promising season lies ahead after a long rainy winter. They have also been able to import equipment and other supplies from Turkey with the return of relative stability to the countryside.
"I inspect the beehives I own on the outskirts of the city and keep track of honey production," Khattab told Al-Monitor. "Beekeeping is not tiring, and it does not cost much. The bees only need a fertile pasture filled with flowering plants and trees to collect nectar and turn it into honey. This [profession] is the greatest legacy my father left me."
Khattab has 50 beehives at the moment, almost half the number he had before the war, when he would put them in the back of his truck and transport them to pastures in other provinces. He now rents a truck to move the hives around the Aleppo countryside in search of flowers and fertile lands.
"When flowers in grasslands and orchards in Aleppo's countryside would become scarce, I would move my beehives to a fertile area on the Syrian coast, near Latakia, or to the Jisr al-Shughour plains, west of Idlib, where lemon and orange trees are abundant," Khattab explained. "But this is all in the past. Given the security risks, beekeepers can no longer freely move to other Syrian provinces."
Khattab, nonetheless, remains hopeful. "I think the 2019 season will be productive," he said. "There are fertile pastures in the countryside of Aleppo, and the flowering plants and trees are very diverse and provide enough food for bees. The plants that provide flower nectar for bees are mainly anise, coriander, fennel and cotton, in addition to lemon, cherry and prunus mahaleb, also known as mahleb cherry, trees."
Al-Monitor traveled to Dabek, north of Aleppo, to visit the bee farm al-Rahiq al-Makhtum, which means "sealed nectar." The farm is owned by Mohammed al-Marei, who also serves as secretary of the local Free Beekeepers Association.
"I have been working in beekeeping for many years, and I have extensive experience in this field," Marei told Al-Monitor. "The beekeepers association was founded in March 2017 in Dabek, in the northern Aleppo countryside. It provides services to beekeepers, conducts scientific and practical seminars in which various problems are raised, introduces beekeeping methods, works on advancing the profession, develops bee-rearing methods aimed at increasing production, and encourages the exchange of experiences among beekeepers."
At least twice a month, Marei and other members of the Free Beekeepers Association tour apiaries in the countryside, in Azaz, Jarablus, al-Bab and Marea, to advise beekeepers and offer them assistance. Their association is unaffiliated, independent of any governing administration.
"Every day I inspect the beehives," Marei told Al-Monitor while touring his farm in Dabek. "I provide some water and give the bees what they need to continue to produce honey." Marei's 100 beehives produce a large quantity of honey, which he sells in nearby areas for 6,000 Syrian pounds ($12) a kilogram.
Several types of bees are kept in the northern countryside. Syrian bees, or so-called al-Zumor bees, are the most prevalent. There are also foreign, Caucasian and Anatolian honeybees. Some local beekeepers have begun to use high-tech sensors imported from Turkey that collect data about the hives, such as temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide levels, to help ensure that conditions are kept optimal for producing large quantities of honey.
Ali Najjar, director of the agricultural office of the local council in Marea, told Al-Monitor, "Beekeeping and honey production are very important in the region, yet local institutions are not giving them the attention they deserve. The agriculture office in Marea is trying to develop the work of beekeepers. More than 2,000 beekeepers in the northern Aleppo countryside earn their living from this profession. Some of them have a limited number of beehives, no more than 20, and others have large bee farms of more than 100 beehives."
Najjar said that in March the agricultural offices of local councils in the Aleppo countryside distributed beehives to a number of poor families with the goal of creating sources of income, which would also have the added benefit of expanding beekeeping as a profession.
"The distributed beehives were provided by the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture," Najjar explained. "A number of beekeepers were also offered special clothing and protective treatments by the ministry as a gift."

Imagine controlling your electronic devices without the need for hands, voice or a mouse. Then imagine the impact this could have for millions of people with disabilities affecting use of their hands and even their ability to speak clearly, or at all.
A company called Perceptive Devices, specializing in hands-free and voice-free electronic devices, has partnered with Tobii Dynavox, a company offering eye tracking devices, to develop new hands-free and voice-free control technology. Together, they have developed products capable of being controlled by head mouse and gesture control technology. Using only eye gazes, smiles and gestures, one can point, click, drag and scroll.
Using a regular webcam, Perceptive Devices' Smyle Mouse software application tracks users' head motions and facial gestures. This then allows hands-free and voice-free control of Microsoft Windows devices by translating these gestures into mouse commands.
Tobii Dynavox is a subsidiary of Swedish technology company Tobii AB. They manufacture a range of products designed for control by eye movement or touchscreen for users with special needs.
Tobii Dynavox began in October 2017, to install a full version of Smyle Mouse on all of its I-Series products. A trial version of Smyle Mouse will be bundled with Tobii Dynavox's Indi products and with its eye tracking technology.
For devices running Microsoft Windows 7 or newer, a 14-day free trial of Smyle Mouse can be downloaded at: https://smylemouse.com.

Spotlight on Chief State!
Chief State, a band born from Craigslist and deeply rooted in pop punk, speaks to our generation. Their EP Nothing More Than This is just the beginning, with ultra-catchy hooks and heartfelt lyrics, expect Chief State to rock out at a stage near you.
We spent some time with Fraser Simpson to discuss Craigslist, the future of the band, what video game makes him throw his controller, and Daenerys Targaryen...of course.
NON: So tell me how Chief State come to be?
Fraser: Craigslist(laughs.) I put up on ad on Craigslist in the musicians section. I was living in Japan for a year and I decided I wanted to start up a band. I wanted to move to an English-speaking country and didn't want to move back to England, so I chose Vancouver. I put the ad up before I actually moved, it started with Nick(guitaritst/vocals.) We have had some member changes but everyone was basically from Craigslist or friends of band members or people I have met online.
NON: Wow! So you put out this ad...and now you have a band. Did you tell them what type of band you wanted to have and what kind of music you wanted to play? How did that work?
Fraser: That's exactly what I did. I told them I wanted to do Pop Punk. I told them what bands I liked and it was the same for all of us. Andre had that old school pop punk vibe. He liked Blink-182 and Sum 41. We introduced the newer pop punk bands. As a whole, we are all into the new wave of pop punk bands.
NON: Since we are talking about bands that you like, who are some of your influences?
Fraser: In terms of influences, I really like a band that's near your area...The Story So Far. We like Knuckle Puck. And this band from Canada called Coldfront. There are a few from the UK, but those are the bands that we really like.
NON: We love your band, your songs are awesome. So tell us what's next for Chief State?
Fraser: We are kind of at an interesting point right now. We recorded an EP and it was released this year. We had a tour and that just ended. Everything was a build up to that tour. So, we are at a moment where we have to ask "where do we go from here?" The plan is to meet with the record label and to talk about releasing more music....whether it's an album, an EP or singles. We definitely want to get back to the studio.
NON: So tell us about the tour. How was it?
Fraser: It was insane! This was our first non-DIY tour so it was an amazing experience. It was awesome to watch two 1st class acts play every night, we aspire to have the kind of success that Belmont and Such Gold have! Everyone involved with the tour did a great job, we're really grateful to Joey at Artery and the bands for having us on the tour! There great turnouts at every show, though most were there for Belmont and SG, in every city there were a few people singing the words to our songs. It was very surreal!
NON: One of my favorite songs on your EP is "Crooked Pictures." Tell us about what that song is about.
Fraser: A few of us were/are in relationships. Particularly last year, some of us were going through some interesting times in our relationships. I was pulling inspiration about this song from situations I was going through or things that were going on with people around me. This is song is an extension of a feeling...an exaggeration of a feeling. Taking that feeling and turning it into a story. Really, it's a song about being stuck in a relationship and not knowing where it is going.
NON: Tell us about the writing process. Who writes the songs? Where does the inspiration for the songs come from?
Fraser: I'm very fortunate to be in a band where every one is a song writer. We are getting together to put all the songs together for the next project. We have a good set already and we churn out ideas for songs quite easily. On the last EP, "Mind Sweeper" was a collaborative effort. One of us comes up with an idea and we expand on them. We just go with the flow to be honest.
NON: Our podcast is into a lot of stuff. We love comics, video games, fandoms, TV...anything to Nerd out to. What do you guys Nerd out to?
Fraser: We love video games. And we are really into TV. We love the Game of Thrones. But for me personally, my biggest stress reliever is FIFA. I turn on the Playstation and just "turn everything off." But, I think everyone in the band probably does that with video games too.
NON: Ok....how competitive are you in FIFA.
Fraser: (pauses.) Extremely(laughs.) I'm the kind of guy that will throw the controller if I lose or I will lower the difficulty...I'm not going to lose(laughs.)
NON: So let's talk Game of Thrones. The last season is coming out soon, you excited about it?
Fraser: Oh my gosh. Every time I think about how long it is taking to give us this last season, I get furious. It's been a whole two years since the last season, it's frustrating. It was different when it came to the Harry Potter movies. I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I have a Deathly Hallows tattoo on me. I loved how JK Rowling had so much control over the movies. She wrote all the books and then helped with the movies. She was opinionated and tried to make sure it kept true to her story. It will be interesting to see how the Game of Thrones plays out.
NON: Harry Potter fan, tell us what house you are in.
Fraser: Gryffindor. I'm in it with Harry. I have always related to Harry. When I was kid, people called me Harry Potter because of my glasses. I loved his point of view in the books and movies.
NON: Last question, gives us a prediction on someone who will die in the last season of Game of Thrones.
Fraser: (long sigh.) Nearly all of them I bet(laughs.) I think there will be a twist and Daenerys will die. She looks like she is at a point where she is going to kick ass and rule. And everyone expects that and that she will do well. But, the writers are going to say screw everyone and kill her off.
NON: That one would hurt for me for sure, she is one of my favorites.
Fraser: It's funny because I didn't even want to watch the show because it seemed too popular. But, I decided to watch one episode and ended up watching 8 seasons in a month. I loved it.

Q: python pandas elegant dataframe access rows 2:end I have a dataframe, dF = pd.DataFrame(X) where X is a numpy array of doubles. I want to remove the last row from the dataframe. I know for the first row I can do something like this dF.ix[1:]. I want to do something similar for the last row. I know in matlab you could do something like this dF[1:end-1]. What is a good and readable way to do this with pandas?
The end goal is to achieve this:
first matrix
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

second matrix
a b c
d e f
g h i

now get rid of first row of first matrix and last row of second matrix and horizontally concatentate them like so:
4 5 6 a b c
7 8 9 d e f

done. In matlab a = firstMatrix. b = secondMatrix. c = [a[2:end,:] b[1:end-1,:]] where c is the resulting matrix.

A: you can do it this way:
In [129]: df1
Out[129]:
   c1  c2  c3
0   1   2   3
1   4   5   6
2   7   8   9

In [130]: df2
Out[130]:
  c1 c2 c3
0  a  b  c
1  d  e  f
2  g  h  i

In [131]: df1.iloc[1:].reset_index(drop=1).join(df2.iloc[:-1].reset_index(drop=1), rsuffix='_2')
Out[131]:
   c1  c2  c3 c1_2 c2_2 c3_2
0   4   5   6    a    b    c
1   7   8   9    d    e    f

Or a pure NumPy solution:
In [132]: a1 = df1.values

In [133]: a1
Out[133]:
array([[1, 2, 3],
       [4, 5, 6],
       [7, 8, 9]], dtype=int64)

In [134]: a2 = df2.values

In [135]: a2
Out[135]:
array([['a', 'b', 'c'],
       ['d', 'e', 'f'],
       ['g', 'h', 'i']], dtype=object)

In [136]: a1[1:]
Out[136]:
array([[4, 5, 6],
       [7, 8, 9]], dtype=int64)

In [137]: a2[:-1]
Out[137]:
array([['a', 'b', 'c'],
       ['d', 'e', 'f']], dtype=object)

In [138]: np.concatenate((a1[1:], a2[:-1]), axis=1)
Out[138]:

Frank Visser (Maartensdijk, 17 mei 1951) is een Nederlandse rechter, televisiepresentator en schrijver. Visser kreeg bij het grote publiek vooral naamsbekendheid door zijn rol als rechter en presentator in het programma De Rijdende Rechter.

Biografie

Vroegere jaren
Frank Visser was van 1989 tot 2014 kantonrechter in Zaandam. Voor 1989 was hij griffier bij de rechtbank, rechercheur bij de politie, reclasseringsambtenaar bij het Leger des Heils en officier van justitie. In 1983 werd hij aangesteld als een van de speciale officieren van justitie voor grote fraudezaken. In 2003 werd hij ook benoemd tot buitengewoon ambtenaar der burgerlijke stand in de toenmalige gemeente Loenen (aan de Vecht).

Televisiecarrière
Visser is bekend als 'rechter' in het Nederlandse televisieprogramma De Rijdende Rechter van IDTV, dat uitgezonden werd door de NCRV en later van KRO-NCRV. In het televisieprogramma, dat sinds 1995 wordt uitgezonden, kunnen mensen en organisaties geschillen voorleggen, waarna mr. Frank Visser een bindende uitspraak deed. Er wordt niet officieel recht gesproken: beide partijen tekenen een contract waarin zij aangeven akkoord te gaan met de uitspraak van de rechter in de functie van bindend adviseur (zij sluiten een vaststellingsovereenkomst). Van 2005 tot 2008 was Visser ook bekend als De Vakantierechter. Tussen 2009 en 2015 presenteerde hij voor de NCRV en later KRO-NCRV ook Recht in de Regio.

In augustus 2015 werd bekend dat Visser zou overstappen naar SBS6. Als Rijdende Rechter werd Visser bij KRO-NCRV in 2016 opgevolgd door John Reid.

Sindsdien maakt Visser samen met presentator Viktor Brand de programma's Mr. Frank Visser doet uitspraak en Mr. Frank Visser rijdt visite - beide voor Vincent TV Producties. Tevens is op SBS6 het programma Mr. Frank Visser: hoe is het nu met? te zien, waarin Viktor Brand bij deelnemers van het programma Mr. Frank Visser doet uitspraak langsgaat om uit te zoeken hoe het nu na de uitspraak gaat en of er nog problemen zijn. Visser is hierbij niet te zien. Sinds najaar 2020 heeft hij een nieuw programma genaamd Mr. Frank Visser: Wordt U Al Geholpen?. Dit is een spreekuur, bijna iedere werkdag uitgezonden, waarin hij juridisch advies uitbrengt. Sinds eind september 2020 verwelkomt Viktor Brand de gasten.

Just a few days after signing with Epic Records and dropping the Meek Mill-assisted "Jefe," T.I. returns with a new music video for the song.
Inspired by producer Bangladesh's Spanish horns, the video, directed by Nathan R. Smith, finds Tip and Meek in an old Mexican village where everyone is dressed in Day of the Dead outfits. After Meek spits his hard-hitting bars, a standoff occurs before shots ring out.
T.I. then comes in for the song's second verse and raps his part from a graveyard where everyone is kneeling in prayer to honor the dead. The video ends with Tip showing off some of his dance moves before he and Meek leave the party.
Along with "Jefe," T.I. also shared the Scott Storch-produced song "Wraith" featuring Yo Gotti on Sept. 7. "Wraith" and "Jefe" will be featured on the rapper's upcoming 10th studio album, Dime Trap. Although a release date has yet to be revealed, the album is set to drop later this year.
Dime Trap will serve as T.I.'s first full-length solo album since the 2014 release of Paperwork. During that time, the rapper did drop a number of EPs including Da' Nic, Us or Else and Us or Else: Letter to the System.
Check out the "Jefe" video below.
