Pete Townshend's Classic Quadrophenia is heading to the U.S. for a handful of tour dates later this summer.
The shows, which include orchestra versions of songs from the Who's classic 1973 album Quadrophenia, will feature Townshend, Billy Idol and tenor Alfie Boe. The production played London's Royal Albert Hall in 2015 with Townshend and Boe and yielded a DVD.
The U.S. tour consists of only four performances, starting on Sept. 2 in Lenox, Mass., with two shows at New York's Metropolitan Opera House, before wrapping up Sept. 16 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. The Boston Pops Orchestra will be part of the first show; Robert Ziegler will conduct the New York and Los Angeles dates. You can see the list of performances below.
The narrative scope of the Who's classic rock opera have made it an ideal showcase in various forms over the years. In addition to the original 1973 double album, Quadrophenia was made into a 1979 movie and a theatrical production. The classical adaptation of the work preceded news of a proposed sequel to the film that the band has since denounced.
Pre-sale tickets for Pete Townshend's Classic Quadrophenia go on sale at 10AM on June 8; general public tickets go on on sale at 10AM on June 13. You can find more information at Live Nation's website.

Pre-orders let your customers place orders for products that aren't currently available. This can be for items that are temporarily out of stock or even items you have yet to produce. Pre-orders help you limit idle inventory and gauge your customers' demand. Ecwid allows you to collect customer pre-orders without charging them until the products are shipped.
Collecting orders prior to production can be useful for any merchant that hopes to limit inventory. Pre-orders can be particularly useful if you create custom goods with bespoke features. For example, including an engraving or another message on your product requires you to hold production until you know what your customer wants.
With this feature, you can open your store as a catalog without any goods in stock. As soon as you receive a pre-order, you can place the order with the manufacturer or the wholesalers. This approach allows you to save money on the initial investment.
You can also use pre-orders to plan the release of a book or any other product in high demand.
Get an Offer app allows you to collect pre-orders, and general inquiries.
The app is available on all paid plans. Sign up for Venture, Business, or Unlimited to access Ecwid's App Market.
Upgrade to get this feature.
With the help of Get an Offer, you can create a inquiry button for visitors. When a customer clicks the button (shown on all product pages), they are prompted to leave their contact information for you to get back to them.
As soon as somebody leaves an inquiry, we'll send you an email with the contents of their message. With this information, you can contact the customer with an appropriate response.
Get an Offer gives you the flexibility to choose what information to collect from your customers: their name, email, phone number, address, company name, etc.
This app is paid with a month of free trial. Try out Get an Offer.
In case Get an Offer does not suit you, you may collect pre-orders manually. This section will detail how you can create a custom "Place a pre-order" button on any product listed in your online store.
Collecting pre-orders is easy if you use only offline payment methods (wire transfer or cash on delivery). Simply inform your customers certain products can only be pre-ordered. You can do so with a note on any product.
For example, when a customer goes to order your product, they will see a note that indicates the item is only available for pre-order and will not ship right away. In this event, we advise providing a time frame to set proper expectations with your customers.
So when ordering, customers will see a note that this is a pre-order, so you will not ship the product right away.
Below are workarounds you can use to add the corresponding note to your product.

The Somme in context
Updated Wednesday, 14th June 2006
Ian Beckett looks at the wider context of the Battle of the Somme.

The popular tendency to view the Somme as a specifically British experience not only obscures the French contribution to what was intended to be a joint offensive, but also the wider context of coalition warfare.
In 1916 Britain was still the junior military partner to France and Russia. Some British politicians had hoped to avoid committing a large army to the Western Front altogether and even the Secretary of State for War, Field Marshal Earl Kitchener, had assumed that the brunt of the continental war would fall on France and Russia until the moment 'when France is getting into rather low water, and Germany is beginning to feel the pinch'. The intention was to ensure that Britain became the strongest partner in the coalition in order to be able to impose its own peace terms on enemy and ally alike for those who were allies might not always remain so. What went wrong with such calculations were the heavy losses suffered by the French and Russians in 1914-15. Indeed, the French and Russians were understandably not prepared to wait indefinitely for the British army to arrive when their national territory remained in German hands and their manpower resources were depleted. Thus, the British offensive at Loos in September 1915 was mounted for the political purpose of sustaining allied morale, Kitchener remarking that 'unfortunately we have to make war as we must, and not as we should like to'.
By April 1916, most British policy-makers were reluctantly convinced that the war might end in either indecisive peace or possibly even German victory if they did not participate fully in the co-ordinated offensives on the Western, Eastern and Italian fronts to wear down German reserves that had been planned at the Chantilly Conference between 6 and 8 December 1915. The Somme was chosen as a battlefield precisely because this was where the British and French sectors of the front lines met. Nonetheless, Anglo-French strategy was a compromise between the desire of the French Commander-in-Chief, Joseph Joffre, that the British carry out an attritional blow before the French launched the decisive attack in the West and the desire of the new British Commander-in-Chief, Douglas Haig, to maintain operational independence by attacking in Flanders.
By the time the Somme opened, the French had been heavily committed to the defence of Verdun since 21 February 1916. That offensive, in turn, reflected the inter-connection of the western and eastern fronts for the Germans. The Chief of the German General Staff, Erich von Falkenhayn, had long concluded that a decisive victory was no longer possible and was prepared to countenance seeking terms with Russia because he believed France and, especially, Britain represented the greater threat to German interests. In the West, he would then seek a result through a strategy of military attrition. By contrast, the two leading German commanders in the East, Paul von Hindenburg and his chief of staff, Erich Ludendorff, still believed a decisive victory attainable there. Falkenhayn conceived Verdun as a means of striking at the French not in the expectation of a breakthrough but of 'bleeding them white'. With the French exhausted, Falkenhayn assumed the British would be forced into a premature offensive of their own, allowing him to blunt this in turn before launching his own counter-offensive to force both to sue for peace.
Irrespective of its intended result, the German offensive had the effect of disrupting allied plans. The Russians advanced towards Lake Narotch in Lithuania in March 1916 to try and draw German pressure off the French at Verdun and, simultaneously, to try and assist the Serbs, themselves under heavy pressure in the Balkans. The heavy casualties sustained had a paralysing effect on most Russian commanders thereafter with the notable exception of Alexei Brusilov, whose offensive against the Austro-Hungarian army - actually a diversion for a main attack elsewhere on the previous day - was then brought forward to 5 June 1916 at the request of the Italians.
Particular debate has always surrounded the inter-connection between Verdun and the Somme. In origin, the Somme was not intended to take pressure off Verdun since it had been agreed in principle before the Germans attacked there. Joffre requested British assistance as soon as the German offensive began and Haig agreed to relieve the French Tenth Army by taking over more of the front but he resisted any immediate offensive in favour of preserving his strength for the main effort on the Somme. On 2 May Joffre then assured Haig that it would not be necessary to bring forward the Somme from July since matters had stabilised. Not surprisingly, however, Verdun significantly reduced the planned French contribution to the Somme: the 39 divisions first promised were reduced to 12. Some argue that the Somme was pursued as a means to help the French as well as preventing the Germans sending reinforcements to the Eastern Front. Increasingly, too, the justification was that the Somme contributed to the wearing down of German troop strength, the campaigns of both 1916 and 1917 being necessary preliminaries to the victories won in 1918. It is clear, however, that Haig continued to cling to the hopes of a decisive breakthrough and, taking on its own momentum, the British effort continued for four months after the Germans had ceased to attack Verdun.
For a brief period in August and September 1916, the Chantilly strategy seemed to be working with Haig claiming results on the Somme, the Italians claiming to have inflicted heavy losses on the Austro-Hungarians, the initial success of the Brusilov offensive and Romania's entry into the war on the allied side on 27 August 1916. By November 1916, hopes had been dashed by the failure of the Somme offensive and the swift defeat of Romania by Falkenhayn, now serving as an army commander. His reputation irreparably damaged by Romanian entry into the war, coupled with the mounting losses at Verdun, Falkenhayn had been dismissed as Chief of the German General Staff on 29 August and replaced by Hindenburg. Like much else, however, the precise impact of the Somme on the German war effort remains a matter of considerable debate.

33 Replies to "'Affirmed': HALA Mandatory Housing Affordability upzoning can move forward, says city Hearing Examiner"
If the council thinks it takes 8 minutes to cross the bridge during rush hour, it's no wonder they do nothing but ruin what was once a great city.
Nice. Hopefully we can see some increased density and a more vibrant and affordable West Seattle.
Good riddance to a terrible, pointless appeal. Your "neighborhood plan" drafted in 1990 is not the Ten Commandments to be followed blindly forever. Conditions change; we have a housing crisis. Bring on the upzones.
Very pleased to hear this. Affordability is a difficult and serious problem in Seattle, and this is a great step forward. I am unimpressed by the efforts of JuNO to claim to represent all of West Seattle residents.
Very happy, although not surprised. Juno's response mentioned meeting with the neighborhood to discuss next steps. 1. Not the neighborhood, it's always been a minority who say they speak for the majority. 2. There are no next steps, at over 200,000 dollars and wasting people's time, it's enough. Stop with the 8 minute thing, there's traffic everywhere, not just on the bridge. You can't stop people from moving here.
I've never understood why that the folks who love density so much don't just move to denser areas of the city. Tour around a little bit–there's plenty of jam-packed neighborhoods and districts to land in if that's your thing. What we have here in West Seattle is to be treasured and protected. Thanks to JUNO for resisting this maneuver by the HALA group.
Here it comes. I have talked to an owner or two who have waited for HALA to be approved before developing in order to get that extra story. I suspect similar owners may comment here.
In West Seattle yes but in the core no. Construction will slow or stop in the core. People will not believe me but just wait. $32 a square foot 'fee' will kill projects. Hala will be a mess overall and in the end I dont think many true affordable housing will be offered. But hey, the city can say they did something.
It's always fun to watch people almost literally light money on fire with these pointless appeals. Some people give their extra money to charities. Others like to blow money on NIMBYism. Hey, whatever floats your boat. At least charities actually HELP people, though. Or just keep lighting it on fire. Whatever.
"Affordability"has been a buzz word for a decade plus. Is this latest push going to result in anything? Don't hold your breath. People's memories are so short.
i agree – even WSB put the word in quotations. i really don't know what the term means and i've never really heard anyone explain the exact price that is "affordable" for as much as the word is used.
I could be wrong but I think the HALA legislation has rules which determine what is an affordable unit based on a percentage of average or modal income.
It has to do with median I think? Of course anyone who is disabled or elderly and on ss still can't afford anything with all this. 12k a year or so is nothing when median is around what 80 or near 90k now?lot of buildings around here that are still being built or are empty too.
What?! The city ruled in favor of developers? Shocking!!Affordability is a buzz word, nothing more. Meaningless in regard to HALA. If a developer is granted an extra story on a building in exchange for "affordable" units (whatever the hell that means – without a specific range/definition it's just BS) and the extra floor represents those units, then it's still just extra profit. A few extra apartments will not solve, or even help, the housing crisis. The real issue is the population crisis, and that problem will take care of itself – much sooner than any denier wants to believe.
There is a table for affordability in the HALA and MHA documentation. It is based on area median income. Of course "affordable" is a relative term. For some a Ferrari is affordable and for some a Camry so it isn't going to be some specific silver bullet number. As with anything like this that number has to strike a balance between someone building it and not taking a loss and it being cheaper rent than a similar market rate place. Insert extra floor and it helps pencil out. And yes, developers will make money, that's the business they are in. Trader Joe's makes money, so does Nissan or any other company that's in some other industry.
It's always funny to me when people get upset about housing being built but have a big (biological) family.
They will just raise the rent on the other units to subsidies the HALA units.
Sad thing is most people that are pro HALA will come build, profit and move on. Those that have lived in WS long time or moved here thinking it would be nice place to raise family will be left with hour long commutes getting downtown shortly. Laughable ? not so, remember port has T-5 project going in, when done there will huge amount of truck container traffic added and more railroad traffic . Get use to walking down dark streets as more tall structures block sunlight. If you have nice sunny backyard get ready for some changes as neighboring property's will be allowed to build up with little set-back off property lines. The end of single family house zoning. It's all about city trying to keep money coming in covering poor spending/wasting of tax dollars, like a pyramid scheme. If people really think HALA will help lower housing cost you've either drank to much city kool-aid, smoked to much pot or in it for the $$$$$$ . When rents do go down it will because economy is tanking…..
It already can take an hour to get downtown depending on when you leave. It's already darker to walk because of some buildings, my point is, this all happens with or without hala. My goodness, people act like every sf homeowner in the rezone area is going to sell their home. You don't have to sell. This is not the end of the world. So no, wet one did not get it right.
Wet One got it right.
" MoCA is committed to ensuring that affordable housing remains in our community. " Deb BarkerMaybe Deb can share some of the 'affordable' housing that still remains as Morgan Junction has long lacked any 'affordable' housing.I agree with comments about these neighborhood groups not being in the consensus. They certainly muster a small tight group of activists willing to great lengths to force their view of our community.Happy Thanksgiving to our whole community.
Population growth here is being driven by people moving in, not births. This region won't cobntinue to see this rate of growth. Look and you will see that in 20 years it is evident that the death rate will outpace the birth rate as Americans aren't having children. Immigration only will push growth, and with stricter immigration quotas being put in place we can actually see a population decrease. Cheaper housing will only be built outside Seattle, and rhe only way it will be cheap here is with a market crash. I can' t see what people see is good with cramming more people here.
Less people, more housing, cheaper rent in the future!
Moca replied they were upset at how easily their efforts were dismissed, are you kidding me? All that time and money people put in, all that time they delayed it, they think it was 'easily' dismissed? I will say what I have told my kid when they were 5, good effort, accept the decision and nobody likes a sore loser. Scale, moca, Juno and all others, just stop.
Now that multifamily developers will soon be required to build in some rent-restricted housing or contribute to Office of Housing's affordable housing projects, at least a little bit of the big changes to our city will benefit those on very the bottom end of the economic scale.
Wet One got it right. This is a win for developers plain and simple and won't provide affordable housing to the extent that we need it. Developers see the fee as just the cost of doing business. And, existing affordable housing will be leveled so that the next big development can go in.Remember that the best way to respond to this is through the ballot box next year since almost all of our city council is up for re-election.
Developers write the checks, but it's the land owners that get hit with the fee. The developers won't give up their profit – they'll just pay less for the land. So the old lady that gets forced out of her home by a 5-story apartment across the street also lost $50k in home equity.
It seems the people not happy with the decision are all about voting the council out. I guarantee you, you won't be happy with the next round either.
I can't believe we didn't win more points with the hearing examiner. I gave SCALE $1000 and we were fully funded and all we get is a token nod to the FEIS inadequacy for historic buildings??? Further legal action against the city- count me out.
+1 for Wet One. All you budding socialists that somehow think this is going to make it affordable for everyone – joke's on you. Once we get to this place, the economy will have reverted to the mean and you'll be left with a bunch of paper-thin walled, characterless, sunless condos, fighting for parking spaces while the fewer remaining decent properties – which you actually wanted – will be even more expensive. By that time, the developers will have skipped town and the petri-dish progressivism leaders will have logged their minimum to get life pensions. Do you want "The Swinery" or "Dominos"? Easy Street or Best Buy Express? Don't destroy this beautiful asset – have been all around the country and there are very few city neighborhoods like West Seattle. This is a transportation problem not a zoning problem.
5 bucks says that the people saying this is good thing don't live in the Urban Village boundaries.


How long is the Kessil cable? My RA is in the basement so it needs to be a decent length.
You better off just splicing your own cable. You can build one from scratch or get an stereo audio cable at the local store than is long enough.
He way I wrote the function I added 10 to the speed for reverse and forward uses the values you provide.
What do all three of these numbers mean?
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm still confused on how you got 35-45 and 25-55? I can't seem to find the correlation between those numbers and the 40, 10 and 30 ones.
40 is the speed for the tide. As it goes from high tide to low tide its going to start at a range of 10 so 35-45 between the high tide and low tide speed. As the month progresses the range will increase to 3 which is 25-55.
Ok, I understand now. I don't have the icecap module yet but I wanted to upload the code so it was ready when I did get it. I noticed that both the daylight and actnitic values didn't change when I uploaded the new code. Should they? I did notice that where it says dc pump in the portal, that it shows that the mode is constant, speed is 50% and duration is 50.
Can you post your new code?

About CWA
Sorry, there are no events at this time.
A Brief History of the CWA Capel Branch.
The Capel branch of the Country Women's Association was inaugurated on Monday April 4 1934. It was Cattle Sale Day, so while their husbands bargained over cattle prices, 15 women accepted the invitation of Mrs. H. T. Dunkley to attend a meeting at the Capel Inn to consider the formation of a branch of the C.W.A. at Capel.
The State President, Mrs. Beryl Fisher and Mrs. Hearman of Donnybrook addressed the gathering on the aims and ideals of the association – to better the lot of country women and children – and to provide a social gathering, where lonely country women
could meet their neighbours, talk over their problems, change and feed a baby, enjoy a
cup of tea, and return home refreshed and relaxed. All were enthusiastic about the idea, and a branch was formed on the motion of Mrs. Dunkley, and Mrs. S.R. Hutton. The annual subscription was then four shillings.
Problems arose! First, where should they meet? The second monthly meeting with 20 ladies present was held in the Road Board Office (now the Senior Citizen Centre). Various rooms were sought, but, after several fruitless enquiries, the supper room at the local hall was finally rented at a cost of three shillings.
Next, how to make a cup of tea? Thermos flasks did not prove satisfactory, so a primus stove, kettle, teapot and jug were donated by members, and water procured from Mrs. Harrison, the local baker's wife. All went well, till the Road Board Secretary heard about the primus, which was considered a fire hazard in the hall. No meeting is complete without a 'cuppa'. So nothing daunted, the ladies took the tea, teapot etc. to the baker's wife who obliged with boiling water. The tea made, it was carried 70 yards back to the hall. So they still had their 'cuppa', three ladies providing food for which each member paid six pence.
Enquiries began for a Rest Room, despite the fact that finances were very low. By the end of the first year, 4 pounds16 shillings and 9 pence had been raised. Card parties with sometimes a profit of only four shillings were held, supper and afternoon teas were served at 6d. a head, a garden party brought in 8 and a Fruit Fete raised 24 pounds , but all helped to swell the precious bank account.
A Library was commenced and proved a great attraction, as very few owned radios, and television was unheard of. Used books were donated by members, the exchange fee being three pence each. Mesdames Urry, Bentley and McCormack gave much valuable time and assistance to the Library which helped to swell the funds, and when most of the present books had been read, they were exchanged for others from another branch until they could afford to buy new ones.
As time went on, and membership increased, thought was given to building a CWA
Rest Room. Capel ladies don't sit on their hands for very long..
In August, 1935, the generous offer of the President, Mrs. Lodge, to make available a free of interest loan of 350 for 25 years for the building of a Rest Room, with an annual repayment of 12 was accepted with gratitude.
In October, 1935, a lease of land adjoining the Railway Station was granted at an annual rental of 1 pound. This site was considered very suitable, as it was close to both the railway station and Post Office. In those days, all mail and goods arrived by train about 3 p.m. As the train was often late, people had to wait a considerable time – first for the train, and then for the mail to be sorted, so the need for a Rest Room was a very real one.
In December, 1935, Head Office gave permission to proceed with the building, providing it did not cost more than 270. Mesdames Lodge, Bentley and White were elected to a Building Committee and the tender of Messrs. W. Barrett & Sons was accepted.
Activities to raise money then gathered momentum. After long and varied discussions and negotiations, the Capel CWA Rest Room was finally built, and officially opened by Mrs. Archie Burt, the State President, on April 21st, 1936 – Capel CWA's second birthday. Officers of all branches in the Southern Division were invited. Donations of furniture were received from Mr. McTaggart (stove), Mrs. Lodge (chairs), Mr. W.F. Roberts (Library cupboard) and twelve members each donated a tub chair from the Blind School at 8/6 each.
The RSL men, several of whom were husbands of CWA women, kindly offered to fence the Rest Room on 3 sides, supplying materials and labour. Throughout the years there has been generous support from the local branch of the RSL. A couple of months later, the kitchen was lined, a sink and cupboards installed and a 1,000 gallon tank and stand erected. Later again, the retiring room was lined by 3 good CWA husbands. A Younger Set was formed and gave valuable assistance to the Parent Branch in donating a piano, a cement path, a fire screen and cushions. It functioned for several years, until the Junior Farmer Movement became a popular and active body, incorporating both girls and boys. This body was also assisted by the branch which was represented in an advisory capacity.
The Rest Room was made available to various local bodies for meetings, The Red Cross, Infant Health Clinic, Junior Farmers, a visiting Doctor, St. John Ambulance Classes, Rifle Club, a music teacher for the benefit of local children, a Lodge, Farmers Extension Group, Girl Guides, Sunday School classes, and Church meetings.
On one occasion, a CWA member from another district, with her husband and children, had the misfortune of their car breaking down at Capel, the repairs necessitating a stay overnight. She enquired at the Post Office the whereabouts of a CWA member and within a short time, CWA women living nearby had transported mattresses, bedding and other necessities to the Rest Room, where the family spent the night in comparative comfort, and were able to avail themselves of the use of the stove, crockery, and other amenities to prepare meals till the car was ready next day.
A wedding party from another town also used the room on their arrival to make a cup of tea, freshen up and change. Ironing facilities were also placed there, so that dresses could be pressed before the ceremony.
At one stage a difficult situation was created by the local authority, the Health Department, and restrictions imposed by the railway lease, partly because men were allowed to use the rooms without having a separate toilet for them. A special meeting was called to decide whether to erect a Gents toilet on the present site, or to accept the offer of a gift of other land and re-erect the room there. Messrs. Lodge, McTaggart, E.J. summers and F. White were asked to attend to details, and it was decided to erect a Gents toilet on the present site, and comply with other regulations.
A septic system was required to comply with health regulations – all more expense, but once again good CWA husbands Messrs. Hornibrook, Clapp, Jamieson and Norton stepped into the breach and hey presto! It was done, costing very little.
Branch membership reached a record of 70 members in the years 1941 and 1945. In 2005 due to a decline in membership and concerns about the building maintenance required, a decision was made to hand over the building and the railway lease to Capel Apex Club. The rooms were still in use until 2015 when the Apex club disbanded. This raised the question—what to do with the building? The current Capel CWA members made a submission to Head Office to resume responsibility of the rooms but, due to the amount of maintenance required, permission was not given. This meant that Apex had to find someone interested in removing the building as the land had to be returned to its original state. The building was eventually relocated to a farm just south of Donnybrook where it will be renovated to become a farmstay for cancer sufferers. When this is completed we will be invited to attend a ceremony where we will install a plaque inside the building.
At a meeting, in 2016, it was moved that the site of the CWA Rest Rooms be marked by installing a sign. Our current members wanted to acknowledge the sacrifices and effort our founding members had made. A letter to the shire resulted in Mick Jeffrey contacting the branch. He helped to organise a sign and arranged for the sign to be installed and the area cleared and tidied.

In an air combat role, the F-16 Falcon's maneuverability and combat radius exceed that of all potential threat fighter aircraft. It can locate targets in all weather conditions and detect low flying aircraft in radar ground clutter. In an air-to-surface role, the F-16 can fly more than 500 miles (860 kilometers), deliver its weapons with superior accuracy, defend itself against enemy aircraft, and return to its starting point. An all-weather capability allows it to accurately deliver ordnance during non-visual bombing conditions.

Connolly provided full architectural services for a bright and welcoming new shelter in this rapidly expanding suburb of Dallas. Contrasting brick and concrete on the exterior creates an elegant look that also complies with the town's preference for masonry-clad buildings.
The shelter boasts a state-of-the-art kennel facility with individual plumbing stations to reduce the spread of disease and aid in maintaining hygienic conditions. The medical room has the flexibility of converting into a fully functional operation suite, should it be required in the future. The cat kennel area can be closed off from the public to allow cats to roam freely during the day and return to their enclosures overnight. From the lobby, large windows offer views into the two cat playing areas and natural light floods the hallways and staff work areas through light monitors in the roof. Interior windows also transfer natural light from room to room.

As if a Ryder Cup opening wasn't scary enough, water lies all the way down the left-hand side, as can be particularly tricky depending on wind speed and direction. An iron or fairway wood off the tee will leave a mid-iron into a green guarded by water and two bunkers.
More water is in play to the left of the par-three. Prevailing wind is behind, meaning it is hard to stop the ball on the green. Finding the putting surface on the right is the safest play.
Extended in 2004, the first par five is reachable in two with an accurate drive to the left side of the fairway. A large tree and bunker guard each side of the green, although the generous sand trap won't present many problems for Ryder Cup players.
New fairway bunkers mean players will need to produce a long and straight tee shot to set up the uphill approach to an elevated green, which is full of slopes. A long par four and one of the toughest holes on the course.
There is potential for welcome respite on this short par four. Three fairway bunkers guard the corner of a short right dogleg and more lies sand in front of a green which narrows at the back but this presents a chance to be aggressive.
One of several holes without a bunker, the short sixth is a good birdie opportunity with the biggest difficulty coming in judging the distance of the approach to a green below the level of the fairway. Expect players to use an iron from the tee, followed by a wedge.
A dogleg right which features a tee shot played to a blind, elevated section of a two-part fairway, followed by a tricky approach to the long green which starts narrow but widens dramatically. Out of bounds awaits a wild drive to the right.
Unlike the 3rd, reaching this par five in two will be impossible for all-but the longest hitters in the event. Everything to the right of the green means trouble, meaning lay-ups and accurate wedge shots will be needed by many.
Another short par four but a testing one owing to its uphill nature and the re-appearance of a water hazard, this time on the left. Thick rough protects the right. Short irons from the tee will be common.
A hole which underwent major changes in 2016, with the water hazard guarding the front of the green extended and two new bunkers added at the back. One of Le Golf National's less inspiring holes.
A dogleg right with a long bunker down the left of the fairway and a shorter one to the right making for a difficult tee shot. The Ryder Cup's website describes the green as "large (and) bumpy" so par could well be a winning score.
Another dogleg right but this time water is the main hazard, both right of the fairway and in front of the green. A firm fairway also means balls can easily fly into deep rough. Oak trees protect the green. All in all; a tough prospect.
The last of the holes extended in 2004, the 14th has a huge bunker defending the front and left-hand side of a two-tier green which slopes away from the players at the back. Wide from the tee, meaning two to the green is feasible.
The start of what could prove one of the most exciting and daunting closing Ryder Cup stretches. The 15th has water running down the right side of the hole and in front of the green, making accuracy paramount. A firm green offers little margin for error. Four is a fine score.
Water protects the right-hand side of this hole, with any players bailing out to the left likely to be faced with a tricky downhill chip, a bunker shot or putt back towards the hazard.
There are no bunkers or water hazards on the 17th, but the uphill tee shot and a green which slopes from right to left means par is far from guaranteed. Could reasonably be regarded as a par five. Hitting the fairway from the tee is vital.
An exciting closing hole, with water all the way down the left – and in front of the green – plus pot bunkers on the right of the fairway. Used to be a par five before regrading. Strategy from the tee is imperative, if only to ease the sense of fear around the approach shot.

1.1 So, how do you select which bed is right for you?
1.2 Which is the Best Bed to Buy?
When you start searching for your comfortable bed, you will realize that there are various types and brands for this kind. There are others that are just simple, while others seem a bit complicated and with various features. The durability, brand, and number of features are among the factors that decide the price of an adjustable bed.
So, how do you select which bed is right for you?
Comfort. For an adjustable bed, comfort usually means the softness of the mattress and probably how good it can incline/recline or how easy is it for you to move to the bed or get out from it. It should be easy for you to climb on, easy to adjust its reclining angle and the foam or mattress should be soft enough for you. Some people like the very soft foams while others like it just normal.
Features. An adjustable bed's features affect its price. For beds that have the best features, one should expect the highest price. For those who have health concerns, there are beds that have adjustable firmness for the lumbar area. This shouldn't be necessary for those who don't have any health problem. Other features include a remote control for the recline angle and even for raising or lowering the other parts of the bed. The adjustments vary so that the patient or owner can have a perfect choice of what he or she wants.
Some beds have a timer which can make the bed return back to its flat position after the owner falls asleep. There are others that can do massage and can help back problem. The vibration can also serve an alarm clock if it goes with a timer.
Beds that can elevate the upper body can help asthma patients feel better. Other adjustable beds can elevate the legs and feet area. Advanced beds have therapeutic massage motors that reverberate evenly across the whole mattress making it a unique therapeutic massage mattress.
Other features include a heat feature that warms up the mattress on a cold night or soothe aching muscles with a warm bed any time of the year. There are beds that can gently glide the base toward the wall. Others have wireless hand controls with a user friendly set of buttons to use. These remotes have memory features so that you can go back to your saved angle or position in just one click. Other beds can also lock its caster into place and unlock them when you need to rearrange the furniture and move the bed or clean under the bed.
Design & Frames. While there are various designs for adjustable beds, typically, they are made to allow the individual to raise or lower the body and legs. The purpose of this is to lower the back pain by shifting the weight off of the patient's back. The frame or the base is usually sold separately but others have them combined. Typically, adjustable beds don't need box springs and the base often fits various types of mattresses. The frames can also be heavy and might cause much weight for some floors and will be difficult to move from one place to another.
Budget. Before you pay for a bed that you like, make sure that there is a warranty and that you are fine with its return policy. This is one of the considerations that you are going to take because it means an additional benefit for your budget. If a brand offers longer period of warranty, that means the product is durable and it is worth the price knowing that it can last for years.
Consider checking if its warranty covers most of the parts especially those that are prone to get damaged. If you are buying online, the seller may want you to pay for the shipping so that will be an addition to your budget.
Convenience. The most convenient way to buy something would be to stay at home, watch the product's images, check its video to show its features, and read the website's description and return policies as well the customers' reviews. However, for a product like this, it would be better to actually go to a brick and mortar store so that you can clearly see for yourself how the bed looks like, see how big or small it is, and test for yourself the features that go with it.
Convenience in buying an adjustable bed means the ease in playing with its additional features so that they are effective for you. Buy an adjustable bed that can really make you feel better and can support your needs.
Which is the Best Bed to Buy?
The best adjustable bed for you is the one that you have already evaluated and compared as the only one that fits your needs and budget. Convenience also means the ease in moving it to your home and when it is there, the ease of moving it from one place to another. Many would prefer something that is lighter and easy to move around. Others would probably want a bed with a frame that has rollers and locking wheels and those with asthma will prioritize a bed that can incline the upper part of the body and recline when they need it to.
The best bed is the one that serves the purpose and one that is convenient on your pocket. Most people who need to buy an adjustable bed have illnesses that need regular treatment. While this kind of bed can greatly help treat the pain and ease the discomfort, the patient will still need to undergo treatment that is best for him or her.
Oftentimes, users of adjustable beds need chiropractic treatment from an experienced chiropractor. If you live near Orange Park, FL, you would find the Meridian Integrative Wellness as one of the most well-known chiropractic centers in the place. It offers the best chiropractic treatment and care that has been tested and proven over time. Nhat Nguyen is the owner who has managed this chiropractic clinic for five good years of making the people in the area feel better by helping them relieve the body pain that they experience through various chiropractic treatment, therapeutic massage and exercises that are proven to contribute a better and healthy lifestyle.
Nhat Nguyen cares for his patients and he is an expert at what he does.

Hansgrohe's CoolStart technology means that only cold water will flow out when set to the middle position. Whereas in standard mixers the continuous flow heaters or circulation pump start up immediately when in the middle position, in CoolStart mixers the piping system does not fill up unnecessarily with hot water. When you move the lever to the left, hot water is added. The user decides how high the temperature needs to be. It is not possible to move the lever to the right.
To sum up: CoolStart reduces energy consumption, and therefore CO2 emissions too. This means that Hansgrohe's latest technology automatically reduces the burden on both the environment and your wallet. The innovative operating concept (the lever for the hot water can only be moved to the left) marks a new trend in the sanitation industry.
Hansgrohe is launching the CoolStart technology in its popular Metris, Talis and Logis mixer ranges.
Its top selling point is its savings potential. Anyone purchasing mixers with CoolStart will save energy, and therefore money too.
And in conjunction with EcoSmart, your customers can save precious water – up to 60 percent in fact.
From individual purchasers to hotels: the CoolStart range is of interest to a broad target group and offers you excellent sales opportunities in the project business.
The successful Metris, Talis and Focus ranges, which are well-established in the market, will ensure that CoolStart receives a high profile – and in different price ranges too.

Wesak Day 2015
The Buddha, whose conquest (of moral defilement) is complete, in whom there cannot arise any further defilement in this world, that Buddha of infinite range of wisdom, who is trackless, - by what track will you lead him? -- Dhammapada 179
Wesak Day's Programme:
1 Day Meditation Retreat (8am to 8pm)
Puja @ Bodhi Tree (8.30am to 9.30am)
Blood & Organ Donation @ Mudita Hall (9am to 12,30pm)
Dhamma Quiz @ Sima Hall (9.30am to 11am)
At about 8.30am, the devotees, youth group, Dhamma School students, parents and teachers gathered at the Bodhi Tree area for the Buddha Puja and chanting. Upon the arrival of the Sangha, all devotees started to take refuge in the Triple Gem and observe the 5 Precepts. This was followed by the Sangha reciting the Anekajati Pali (Consecration of the Buddha Rupa). At the end of the chanting, representatives of MBMC board of management offered milk rice, water, flower, light and incense to the Buddha Rupa. To conclude the ceremony, the devotees recited the virtues of the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha and circumambulated the Bodhi Tree three times.
We got an overwhelming response from the devotees for the blood donation campaign. The response to the organ donation was less enthusiastic but nevertheless there were donors. The blood donors started to queue early in the morning. Majority of the donors were Burmese devotees who not only showed their support to donate blood, but they also prepared food for the donors and devotees. Sadhu to all!
For the Dhamma School, teachers also took the opportunity to gauge the Dhamma knowledge of the students (who had attended 4 months' of learning) and parents. There were 3 groups of participants, namely, Sila, Samadi and Panna, and each group consisted of students from elementary to advance level as well as parents. The questions were designed to test the different level of students, beginning from basic to advance questions. The Panna group did well to win the quiz by scoring 123 marks. All participants were given a gift each as a token of appreciation for their participation and to encourage them further.
On the meditation retreat, the 1-day yogis practised diligently and mindfully so as to purify their minds on this auspicious Wesak Day. The 1-day retreat was conducted by Brother Tay Chong Seng and Brother George Ng.
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu! to all Dhamma workers, donors and volunteers for serving the Buddha Sasana. May the beautiful Dhamma continues to blossom and flourish in all of you.


Christopher Severo's network keeps expanding.
Nine years after opening his first Verizon Wireless store, the Stamford resident has capitalized on the ever-growing popularity of smartphones to build a portfolio of more than two dozen sites. His 26th Verizon establishment opened April 26 at 711 Canal St. in the city's South End.
Situated in the main shopping plaza serving the Harbor Point complex, the approximately 800-square-foot outlet was an ideal location for another Verizon store in Stamford, Severo said. In 2015, he opened a location in the Glenbrook section at 290 Hope St.
The new store sells smartphones made by Apple, Google, Motorola and Samsung. It offers accessories including cases, screen protectors, chargers, data cables and Bluetooth speakers. The shop also offers customer support covering installations, upgrades and billing for personal and business accounts.
"I'm going to be around — figuring out how people utilize their devices and what they need," said store manager Jermaine Gordon, who previously worked at Verizon stores in Danbury and Westport.
Sales associate Diego Bouzada works alongside Gordon.
Severo, 36, opened his first Verizon store in Darien in 2008. He has steadily grown his holdings, which extend across Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. His Verizon stores in Fairfield County include the two in Stamford, the original location in Darien and others in Bethel, Danbury, Greenwich, New Canaan, Newtown, Norwalk, Trumbull and Westport. In total, Severo employs 127.
Severo said he enjoys a strong relationship with Verizon's corporate offices. The company decides who runs each store, but they allow authorized retailer "agents" like Severo to submit location proposals. Severo found the Canal Street site with the help of commercial real estate agent Jeff Kravet, who brokered the lease for the new store.
Verizon officials said they are pleased with Severo's performance, which they said represents the contributions made by their retailer agents across the country.

US airline payout angers workers
December 9, 2007 /0 Comments/in United Airlines /by ceadmin
Unions representing workers at United Airlines have reacted with anger to the US carrier's plans to pay a $250m (£123m) dividend to its shareholders.
Thousands of staff took pay cuts to help the airline rebuild its finances after it went into bankruptcy in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.
Union officials said the investor payout betrayed the efforts of staff to revive the airline's reputation

The Cowboys put the NCKL on notice once again.
Terry Taylor's scorned Cowboy squad took another victim on Friday, January 11th, as they smothered the Tigers of Clay Center 61 to 37.
The Cowboys scored fast and often, taking advantage of a Tiger team that was vastly undermanned and consistently out-jumped and out-played. So vast was the talent gap that the starters for the Cowboys–James Mayden, Preston Boyd, Travis Beetch, Tim Barbieri, and Wyatt Davis in place of Damian Hartman who was out with foot soreness–were only in the game for a few minutes at a time before giving the backups some rest.
The Cowboys finished the day 16-for-21 at the free throw line, and despite nobody hitting a higher percent of their shots than 62%, they still managed a 24-point victory while pumping the brakes for the entire second half. Starting the game 17-7 and then 35-11 definitely helped the 'Boys, who allowed themselves the reprieve in the second and play many backups. The Tigers tied the 'Boys' second half score, but never overcame any of that 24 point deficit. Once the rout was on, memories of Concordia set in for the boys in brown and confidence soared. Clay Center, much to their credit, did a fantastic job in the second half, but didn't have a chance due to their lack of athleticism and overall lack of height on their roster.
Tim Barbieri, center, dunks during practice before the Clay game as Jayshaun Jones (back) and Preston Boyd (44) watch.
Grant Heintz, a six-foot-eight sophomore, closed out the game for the Cowboys. He grabbed three rebounds in limited time and scored a bucket.
Senior Colton McVan led the team in points with 12, including a three pointer. Three-pointers seemed to be a family affair, as younger brother Blaise, sophomore, added two more for a total of six points to his name. Preston Boyd, despite not being on the floor for long, earned a handful of rebounds and ten points himself. Sophomore Avery Bryson and freshman Kaleb Becker were behind him with eight and seven points, respectively.
The Cowboys will have a short break before the Salina Invitational Tournament begins. The 'Boys plan to ignore a forgettable run in Salina last year and complete this year's run on the podium. They were given the number one seed and will play against popular upset pick Salina South, who was without a couple superstar players for the first half of the year. They will have them both for the first game against Abilene in their own gym at 8:15 on January 17th.

NFPA 25 Inspection Checklist
By Susan Deily-Swearingen Updated September 26, 2017
The National Fire Protection Association was established in 1896. According to the association's website, its mission is "to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training, and education." One of the main things NFPA recommends is a Fire Safety Inspection at the time of purchasing or moving into a new property. Repeat the inspection periodically to confirm that fire-safety plans and procedues are still up to regulation.
Occupancy Checklist
Having a home fire safety inspection can be one important step toward to preventing tragedy.
Different types of buildings will have different challenges in terms of exit strategies if a fire were to break out. The first portion of NFPA's checklist is dedicated to a description of the building and the building site and occupancy. For example a basement apartment or assembly room will have fewer exit points than an above- ground apartment with more windows. NFPA may see it as more of a safety risk than other types of dwellings. The NFPA wants to know, for example: "Is the occupant load posted?" "Are the exits per code?" "Is egress capacity adequate?"
Doors easy to access and easy to open would be essential in case of a fire. Doors are the next item on the NFPA checklist. The questions range from easy solutions such as are the door locked or obstructed in any way which could become issues in a panic, to more technical issues. Again from the checklist: "Is 15-lb force required to release latch?" and "Do doors swing in direction of travel per code?"
The checklist, geared mainly for places of group assembly, also requires inspecting emergency lighting and exit signs. Having exits clearly identifiable in case of an emergency could be the difference between safety and tragedy. Also, the NFPA wants an inspector to determine how long it takes an evacuating person to leave a building. If they have to travel down a hallway that is too long or too narrow, that could be dangerous. NFPA also has guidelines for how quickly a person must be able to exit.
Exits and exit strategies are only useful if people realilze they need to leave a building. People can do many things to ensure that they know when a fire starts and when they must leave a building. In another of their outreach efforts, the NFPA has created a Fire Safety Checklist for children to take home to check the fire alarms and smoke detectors. The association also asks if electrical cords are "in good condition (not damaged)." And whether anyone inspected the furnace in the past year.

トップ > 旧ブログ > The eight requirements of enterprise API
The eight requirements of enterprise API
旧ブログ 事例紹介
In this installment, I will write about precautions involved in offering an enterprise-level API. With increased use of APIs in BtoB and other enterprise contexts, taking the following points in mind is sure to help you provide a more user-friendly API.
1. Unified API specs and rules
When each and every API has a varying interface and data format, the result is confusion among users, and your API will see limited use. While there is no industry standard, recent trends revolve around REST interfaces and data formats in JSON or XML. In addition, a bare minimum of the rules described below in terms of version control and parameter naming conventions should be agreed upon internally before release.
2. Privilege management
Privilege management is extremely important in the element of enterprise API.
Ordinarily, an API assigns one token per user or is based on the premise of use via a single application. However, in an enterprise context, multiple organizations (users) coexist.
For this reason, you must assign CRUD (create, read, update, delete) privileges for each organization and user. For example, members of organization A may be allowed to create data, but they cannot update it. The systems administrator at the company must be able to freely configure these privileges based on actual use.
We will be offering privilege administration functionality starting in September of last year in order to offer a more safe and flexible control of API access.
Click here for information on privilege administration on the IAM API.
3. Logging
While most APIs provide log data on a call level, an API in an enterprise context will need to keep logs on what data was accessed and what functions were performed, both on an API basis and a user basis. This is a must for auditing purposes, and it is critical for exploring the cause of incidents when they occur.
Because APIs often span systems, they may be used in unseen ways, including sudden batch processing at night. This perforce requires logging at a fine-grained level.
4. SLA and maintenance response
While an API functions automatically, this does not mean you can set it and forget it. Further, periodic maintenance will also be practiced. Therefore, the API must have an SLA and built-in responses and rules for maintenance.
In the absence of such agreement, you find cases where services using an API simply return a 500 HTTP status error with no explanation. It is no surprise, then, when concerned e-mails reach the administrator. Implementing thorough error documentation allows the user to respond in the event of a problem.
5. Version control
In an enterprise elements, API updates must be performed in a critical fashion, so manage version control based on a specific set of standards. Ordinarily, a version number is fixed to the API endpoint and new and old versions are distinguished in this way. There may be cases where a system is not equipped to immediately work with the latest bleeding-edge version of an API, so design the structure such that new and old versions can be concurrent, without immediately deprecating old versions.
6. Documentation
There are a surprisingly large number of cases where APIs lack sufficient documentation. While the provider may consider the literature sufficient, putting oneself in the user's shoes, one finds that the information is often totally lacking. It is not enough to simply convey the information accurately -- the documentation must be neither too skimpy nor too robust, and it must be easy to use.
Aim to have your documentation available online. Oftentimes, when setting up a dedicated search server, the result pales in comparison to Google and other search engines, and its usability is lacking. Further, distributing documentation in PDF or similar formats much to be desired in terms of searchability.
7. Libraries/SDKs
Another point equally as important as documentation is your libraries and SDKs. You will not simply be providing an API -- you must also have libraries and SDKs corresponding to various programming languages. You can begin by providing ones tailored to the environments in which you want your users to deploy the API, and then roll out libraries and SDKs for other languages. Corporate systems are not composed of a single language, so you will need many libraries and SDKs.
Taking future maintainability into mind, aim to keep libraries and SDKs thinly wrapped around the API. The point about documentation applies to libraries and SDKs, too, which should have ample literature and sample applications.
8. Sandbox
Lastly, make sure to offer a demo environment for testing the API. Having to immediately update and delete data in a live environment poses too much of a risk to companies. Aim to automatically prep data that is as close to a live environment as possible; ideally, the system should copy data directly from the existing live environment. Being able to test maintenance functionality is also a plus.
API-based development is not complete out of the gate. It is something that is continuously updated and added to. For this reason, sandbox environments should not be limited to 30-day trials and the like, but available persistently.
When expanding use of an API to beyond one's company and offering it publicly in an attempt to foster new business, there are many considerations to make, the above notwithstanding. In particular, when opening up the stores of data accumulated at your company, a level of management commensurate with that data is needed.
It is not simply enough to make the data public -- provide the API only after considering the peripheral technologies and ease of development and use by enterprise users.

Business Administration apprentices Keely Shannon and Ellie Winton are already moving up the career ladder after both were promoted within On Medical.
Both Keely and Ellie, who are still studying as part of their apprenticeships, are already getting stuck into various tasks and responsibilities that come with their new jobs.
"Working at On Medical is quite different from the post team," explains Keely. "With the post team, we were mostly communicating internally, as well as carrying out different tasks around the office like organising the mail, doing court runs, making sure the office supplies were well stocked.
Not only will they finish the apprenticeship with a useful qualification to take on into their careers, but they will also have gained invaluable workplace experience.
For now, though, both Ellie and Keely are looking to achieve the Level 3 Business Administration apprenticeship qualification.
