stipulation thereof.

My goal is to create and convert a larger cityscape with few TMB. files possible such as IPACS sceneries like outer areas of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, etc.
Sometimes conversions are successful, most times not successful.
This issue has been around since I started AF2 and only ever occurs when I try converting multiple buildings. I would like to know if this issue comes from ModelConverterX or if it comes from the IPACS Content Converter?
My conversions examples:
Successful conversion.
14 buildings, 5 textures, 1 TMB. file
Unsuccessful Conversion
8 Buildings, 5 textures, 1 TMB. file (Always gaps in between Wall and Roof)
IPACS Miami Conversion:
Multiple Buildings, Multiple Textures, Few TMB. files used? (Is IPACS using a better/different version of Content Converter?)
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Forty states may ban cell phone driving
ALBANY, New York (AP) -- From New York to California, governments seem driven to distraction by motorists with cellular phones.
Carrying broad public support, bans on drivers using hand-held cell phones have been proposed in 40 states, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. None of the bills has passed yet, although a measure in New York is expected to win approval soon.
At least a dozen localities have already established bans, starting in 1999 with Brooklyn, Ohio, and recently including the three crowded counties around New York City -- Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk.
All the action has the wireless phone industry warning evidence is far from conclusive that cell phones are really responsible for the mayhem now being blamed on them. The industry says about 115 million cell phones are in use, both in cars and out of them.
"We do feel that they are getting a bad rap," said Dee Yanhoskie, manager of the wireless education program for the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association. "In 1905, windshield wipers where thought to be hypnotizing to the driver, and just think what a safety device they are. In 1930, they tried to take the radio out of the car because they thought it was disturbing to the peace and distracting."
Yanhoskie's Washington-based trade group is sponsoring a $9 million radio advertising campaign which urges drivers not to talk on hand-held phones if those conversations pose a danger to themselves or other drivers.
But the group also contends that cell phones are a potential lifesaver because stranded motorists can call for help or alert police to reckless drivers.
"There is no need for new legislation," Yanhoskie said.
A much-cited 1997 study in the New England Journal of Medicine suggested that using hand-held cell phones increases the chances of accidents while driving fourfold, or roughly the same as drunken driving.
Yet a AAA-funded study by the University of North Carolina showed driver distraction was a factor in 8 percent of 32,303 traffic accidents analyzed from 1995-99. Of those distracting activities, a plurality of drivers -- nearly 30 percent -- said they were distracted by something outside their vehicle. Only 1.5 percent were using a cell phone.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is urging more careful record keeping of whether drivers in traffic accidents were using hand-held phones. About 20 states have already started, the Cellular Communications and Internet Association said.
One of the association's members, Verizon Wireless, says it is not opposing a cell phone ban for drivers proposed in New York. The company even favors a national ban for the sake of uniformity, said Dan Mullin, director of public policy for Verizon Wireless in eight Northeastern states.
U.S. Sen. John Corzine, D-New Jersey, and U.S. Rep. Gary Ackerman, D-New York, introduced such bills on May 22. But federal restrictions seem unlikely, at least in the short term.
New York, however, is poised to enact a statewide law once Gov. George Pataki and the Legislature settle a state budget impasse.
A Quinnipiac University poll of New York voters in March showed 87 percent supported a ban on hand-held cell phone use by drivers. A similar nationwide poll in May by ABC News showed 7 out of 10 Americans favored a ban on drivers using hand-held phones.
The impending law has created interest in devices, ranging from $20 to $200, that allow cell phones to be used "handsfree."
"There are a lot of people reading about the potential of these bans and they're trying to stay ahead of the law and stay safe and legal," Garry Haltof, a design engineer from Penfield, near the western New York city of Rochester, who has created a cradle for cell phones on a car dashboard.
Haltof wishes one particular driver was using his invention last August when he was driving with his family on a highway outside Rochester.
The woman, with a cell phone to her ear, failed to slow down as she approached a road construction zone. She plowed into a car behind Haltof, which then rammed into Haltof's vehicle. All three vehicles suffered extensive damage. No one was hurt.
Haltof said when he walked back to the woman's car, she was still on the phone.
"I knocked on the window and she waves me away. I was incredulous," Haltof said. " It was kind of ironic that here I am trying to sell this stuff and I get smacked by a woman who was totally impervious to anything happening around her!"

Staind has set an Aug. 19 release date for its next Atlantic album, "The Illusion of Progress." First single "Believe" will hit U.S. radio outlets on June 24.
"It's a departure from the last record," Staind frontman Aaron Lewis tells Billboard. "There's a lot more effect-y experimentation and a lot more textures with vintage instruments and vintage amps."
The band recorded at the studio that Lewis keeps in his barn with producer Johnny K. And while Staind previously swore to rock even harder this time out, Lewis says it's aware of pressure for another ballad-style track along the lines of such hits as "Outside" and "It's Been Awhile."
"That's what the record label wants," he says. "You're foolish not to [be aware] of that."
"Illusion" is the follow-up to 2005's "Chapter V," which has sold 986,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Staind will be on tour this summer, beginning July 4 in Muskegon, Mich.

The management of Khafi Kareem, a Big Brother Naija constant, has threatened to sue The Sun, a British tabloid, over what it considers "repulsive and damaging publication" about her.
This was contained in a statement released via Khafi's Instagram page.
The British policewoman who was reported to be facing the sack for defying her bosses to appear a reality television programme - before appearing to sleep with a man on the show, has now threatened to sue the The Sun UK.
PC Khafi Kareem, 29, from the Metropolitan Police, was warned not to take part in Nigerian Big Brother this year, according to The Sun UK.
But she was granted unpaid leave and entered the show, in which she has formed a relationship with fellow contestant Ekpata Gedoni, 31, the Sun reported.
Audiences in Nigeria have been caught up in their liaisons, of which there has been three, but she will now be the subject of an investigation by the Met's Directorate of Professional Standards.
And her colleagues have expressed their dismay at her 'tarnishing' the force's reputation with her antics.
The officer was used as a 'poster girl' for the Met, posing alongside Met Commissioner Cressida Dick to encourage black and female recruitment and celebrate 100 years of women in the force.
Khafi, currently in the Big Brother reality TV show, became popular with viewers for her relationship and sexual activities with another housemate, Gedoni.
The Sun had on Tuesday reported that Khafi, who is a PC with the Metropolitan Police, had been denied permission by the organisation to participate in the reality show.
However, reacting to the report, Khafi's management said it is considering a legal option against the British tabloid except it publicly apologises and retract the now-viral report.
The statement read: "The attention of Khafi's management has been drawn to a publication by The Sun UK on Tuesday, August 13, 2019, titled 'LOIN OF DUTY Met Police 'poster girl' faces sack for 'having sex' on Nigerian Big Brother after being told not to take part'.
"The brazen sensational and defamatory outburst by The Sun UK is written in poor taste without considering the ethics of journalism which seeks balance and objectivity.
"At no time did The Sun UK send a mail of inquiry to Khafi's official email which is blasted across her social media platforms under active management to confirm or refute the claims in the publication.
"Khafi's side of the story is deliberately and conveniently omitted to sell a pre-conceived narrative while responses from "outraged colleagues" and "other papers" riddle the publication.
"This comes from a repressive culture of shaming and characterising women for their sexual decisions and life choices.
"We find The Sun UK's publication repulsive and damaging to the image and livelihood of our client.
"We demand an immediate retraction of the publication by The Sun UK and a public apology to our client Khafilat Kareem within the next 48 hours.
"Legal options are also being considered at this time."

It seems AnAL forget two of the draw() arguments (the image offsets), i had to fix it like that:
Code: Select all
function anim_mt:draw(x, y, angle, sx, sy, ox, oy)
love.graphics.drawq(self.img, self.frames[self.position], x, y, angle, sx, sy, ox, oy)
it's because the animation image is slightly larger than the displayed image. I guess it would
be better if AnAL could mimick exacly love.graphics.draw() behaviour, but i've no time to
write a fix for that right know. Here is the part of my own code that show the different
behaviours ( 16,16 on one side, 8,8 on the other) :
Code: Select all
if love.keyboard.isDown("up") then
love.graphics.draw(lm.img, lm.b:getX(), lm.b:getY(), lm.b:getAngle(),1,1,8,8)
hope this helps.

Maple Syrup Snow Candy
In our family, we have cold weather traditions. This makes the winter days not quite so long. Really blizzardy day? Seven Brides for Seven Brothers! First day below -30C? Maple syrup snow candy! Most recipes I've seen call for a cup of maple syrup but I find for 5 kids and two adults (my niece and nephew are usually here for it), half a cup means everyone gets a treat without it being excessive or too expensive. Maple syrup ain't cheap yo! Continue reading Maple Syrup Snow Candy

The steps to finding a job could be confusing. Whether it's creating a perfect resume`or learning how to boost your followership on your social media accounts. Some of these questions were answered at the Secrets to Getting Hired Workshop.
The Pierce College's Great Hall opened its doors on Feb. 28 for the event hosted by FabFitFun representatives. Students were greeted with pizza, water, and coffee mugs.
VP and Talent Acquisition Molly Sigworth started the event by introducing the company FabFitFun which, is a woman's paid subscription box that gives the subscriber products.
Sigworth discussed how the process works and what they are looking for when they are hiring people.
Sigworth knows what she looks for in terms of hiring someone new for the company. She touched on the importance of having a resume` and how not to overload the reader with too much information.
"Keep it simple and consist. Be truthful if you do not have work experience list things that you are good at and responsible in," Sigworth said.
Recruiter for FabFitFun Jen Weiser said that a resume` should not be too dense.
"Your resume` should be one page long right out of college, keep it simple," Weiser said.
Sigworth said that social media is a crucial part of the hiring process many she looks at current people who are in the process and it sometimes determines where or not she hires the person or not.
"Make sure to clean up your social media, google yourself delete pictures that are out there and make your account private," Sigworth said.
Weiser believes that it is important in googling the company and researching their background. How did they get started, when did they start and to make sure to make a list of things they would like to know more about the company.
"Be prepared and make sure you have a list of 2-3 questions after the interview is done. It shows you are interested in the company," Weiser said.
Sigworth believes in the power of punctuality and to not talk poorly about bad experiences in previous companies one may have.
"Be early, don't be late and always be positive about companies you have worked for in the past. You can say it was a great challenge but never talk bad about the company," Sigworth said.
Sigworth believes that any jobs are a good job. They have to start somewhere and it helps to get used to good habits early.
"Any job is a good job. Try to be a yes man as often as you can and do your task but also don't be afraid to do something that's not within your job description," Sigworth said.
Career center director and counselor, Wendy Meckler stated that she hopes students were able to get some of their questions answered.
"I want students to be prepared for interviewing and finding a job, I wanted the recruiters to give them the message directly since they are the ones that are hiring," Meckler said.
Meckler wants to make sure students know that there is help on the campus for when they have questions for jobs.
"The main take away I think is come to see us at the career center because there is a lot of this that they talked about that we can help such as resume`, cover letters professional branding," Meckler said. "My goal is to get the important message to students that will really help them in their career."
The Career Center can be located at the Student Services Building on the 1st Floor.

California is in the midst of a severe housing crisis. There is lack of affordable housing and not enough space in major cities to build new construction. One solution might be to build more Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), also known as "granny flats."
The California Department of
Housing and Community states, "Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are
known by many names: granny flats, in-law units, backyard cottages,
secondary units and more. No matter what you call them, ADUs are an
innovative, affordable, effective option for adding much-needed housing
in California."
In an effort to bolster public awareness about ADUs, AIAPF hosted the one-day "Public Forum: The Accessory Dwelling Unit. Architects creating blueprints for better communities and the affordable housing challenge," on November 10, 2018 at Parsons Corporation.
The event garnered good public attention and was critical in beginning discussion about ADUs in communities. The free public program featured a panel of experts and provided the what's and how's of ADUs. General public and homeowners participated in the one-day forum to learn about ADUs and what architects do on a daily basis to improve our communities and the places in which we live. This was an exciting opportunity for everyone to learn about how architects add value to everyday with their unique technical and artistic skills.
Discussion about ADUs and architecture is important. Below are resources from the forum to help begin or continue the conversation in your city or home.
Special note: AIA Pasadena & Foothill, AIA San Diego, AIA Central Valley along with AIA California are working on a dedicated ADU website due to launch soon. This will become a valuable resource for the public when it goes live. Until then we will continue to update this page as new links and materials become available.
On May 30, 2019, the chapter lead a discussion on this very timely topic about "Cannabis Dispensaries in the Community." We were joined by reps from Coastal Dispensary on this talk about the economy and life safety concerns surrounding cannabis. This was a chance for architect members to get direction on how to respond to this type of project and how to navigate your way through the City. The cannabis industry will have big economic impact in our City and community. We will continue to monitor this issue as licenses will soon be granted.
"The application window for the City's commercial cannabis program closed January 31st, 2019. A total of 128 applications were submitted... The applications are currently being reviewed... Applicants with the highest scores following both the review of applications and the interview will be identified to submit an application for a land use approval to receive a commercial cannabis permit. Interviews are anticipated to occur in June" (City of Pasadena application website)

West Aurora School District 129 Director of Community Affairs Alex Perez usually turns the spotlight on others, but recently it was turned back on him for his efforts to give back to the city.
The West Aurora school board recently recognized Perez for having been named one of the top young government officials in the nation by NextGen Nation, an organization that works to promote young government leaders.
Perez received the 2018 Courageous Champion Award during the annual NextGen Public Service Awards held in Washington, D.C., last month.
City of Aurora Director of Communications Clayton Muhammad, Perez's former boss, nominated him for the award for his work as Aurora's video services coordinator and for creating programs that showcased the city's people and businesses.
"Alex has been a shining star," Muhammad said.
Perez hails from Aurora and graduated from East Aurora High School. He said he is honored and humbled by the national award.
"Aurora provided me with a foundation for success, and I'll always do everything I can to give back," he said.
Perez started working for the city of Aurora as an intern in 2013 and was later promoted to video services coordinator. Perez produced two documentaries, "El Futuro" and "The Trailblazers," which highlighted the accomplishments of young Aurora residents, and the "Aurora Eats" series that featured local restaurants.
Latest Aurora Beacon News
Perez was hired in May to oversee West Aurora School District's community outreach.
He recently organized a Back-to-School Bash at Hill Elementary where students received school supplies, district officials said.
He reached out to Dapper Looks Barber at 935 S. Lake St. in Aurora, and eight barbers donated their services for two hours to provide haircuts for about 40 students at the event, officials said.
"He represents what the millennial generation in government can do," Muhammad said.

The Cunning Plot
Every human spirit is a powerful and exquisite energy. Yet the twist in the 'plot' is that a body is required in order to fully express ourselves, and then the truth of 'Who am I?' and 'What should be my purpose?' gets easily lost.
It is the aim of Liferoute to help enable each unique human spirit to discover its own path to follow - to fulfil our potential by living the life we are each individually born to live. To thrive, to flourish, so as then to give a return to humanity and our planet.
Liferoute services are given freely from the heart and with the opportunity to provide a donation.
Dangerous Driving
Imagine being given a car (= body and mind) but not being taught how to drive. Worse still, we then take the car onto the highway of life, where others are also driving in the same state. Chaos and accidents become inevitable – to ourselves and to other people. Everything sustains damages one way or another – from emotional, mental and physical small dents and scrapes to major crashes and write-offs.
What we are describing here is what can eventually lead to burnout.
Smooth Runnings
Liferoute is like a driving school where we can become the more mindful driver in terms of care, consideration and understanding. We learn how not to make mistakes at the wheel and, by following rules of the road, how to take maximum benefit from everything we encounter along the way. A successful and happy life includes the ability to avoid potential accidents and to steer ourselves safely through to the other side of what we can't avoid.
The Cycle of Give and Receive
All Liferoute activities are given freely with the opportunity to make a donation that goes directly towards resources which will enable more to benefit. In the case of retreat events, space and opportunity are made possible because those who participate make a contribution to the hospitality provided. In that way, it makes it possible to continue to receive future guests and visitors.
Hosts volunteer their time and other resources at no charge.

Research Details
Equilibrium Incentives for Most-Favored Customer Clauses in Oligopolistic Industry, International Journal of Industrial Organization
This paper analyzes the economics of contemporaneous most-favored customer clauses (MFCC) in a non-cooperative n-firm oligopoly. In the first stage of a two-stage game, each firm indepedently decided whether to adopt MFCC; in the second stage, firms set prices non-cooperatively, given the first stage choices. In contrast to work on retroactive MFCC by Cooper [The RAND Journal of Economics (1986, 17, 37-388)], our analysis shows that not adopting MFCC can be a dominant strategy. The difference between our results and Cooper's highlights important differences between retroactive and contemporaneous MFCC and suggests that MFCC are a less powerful facilitating practice than retroactive MFCC. Our analysis also sheds new light on Grether and Plott's [Economic Inquiry (1984, 22, 497-507)] experimental results regarding the effects of MFCC on average industry prices.

The future of networking has arrived. It will change the way digital services are delivered, the way systems are connected, and the way tech and business leaders collaborate to solve challenges.
Modern approaches to networking, which include network virtualization and software-defined networking (SDN), take the emphasis off manual configuration of proprietary networking boxes. Instead of relying on fixed capabilities of purpose-built hardware, these approaches enable new services, data policies and protections to be adapted as needs evolve.
This modern network architecture is more flexible, more resilient and better suited to rapid changes against a highly competitive business climate. IDC projects that the market for the systems that support the new approach to networking will achieve a 54 percent compound annual growth rate from 2014 to 2020, when the market will reach $12.5 billion.
Leading that growth will be network virtualization layers and SDN applications, which make network design and implementation less reliant on hardware.
Here are four things executives need to know to understand the future of networking.
- Networking is long overdue for innovation.
The basics of networking have barely changed since researchers first worked on the underpinnings of the internet in the 1960s. Sure, wireless and cellular data networks have improved availability, and much higher speeds have enhanced the experience. But at the core, networking has remained focused on making physical connections between fixed points.
This made sense when servers were static. It still worked when users went mobile. But in a world where a growing number of network-connected objects are completely virtualized, have no fixed point in space, and may exist for only a fraction of a second, the old physical models are insufficient. Network virtualization makes it easier to specify how traffic should flow based on the role of an object in the network, not just its physical location or network address.
- Networking built around intentions and outcomes makes plain-language policies possible.
It's difficult to map complicated sets of rules and intentions to conventional network architecture.
"Intent-based networking is one of the new approaches that takes you beyond saying, 'This IP address can talk to this IP address,'" said Bruce Davie, vice president and chief technology officer for Asia-Pacific and Japan at VMware. "It lets you specify what you want to happen at a higher level."
This is particularly powerful in environments with regulated data. For example, it should be possible to specify that any packets or records containing health care data can be touched only by authorized users or objects, or that payment card records must be kept isolated and encrypted. Network virtualization, for example, makes it easier to translate plain-language intention into enforceable policy, so that network security can be defined by heterogeneous teams of business and IT professionals.
"These teams will work together on solving the problem of who gets to talk to whom, and under what circumstances, which is much more powerful than focusing on addresses and ports," he said.
- Network virtualization will make IT and other business units closer allies.
With traditional networking architecture, IT often impedes progress because of the need to protect the network. When traffic is tied to the health and performance of a specific box, such as a firewall or gateway, those boxes become critical points of failure. An improperly formatted change in perimeter firewall policy, for example, could shut down traffic to critical business systems, cutting off revenue and jeopardizing customer relationships. This need for caution puts IT and business at odds when business leaders demand new services but IT cannot safely deliver on desired schedules.
"Provisioning of new networking services will become more programmatic and designed to support policies rather than focused on manually configuring a set of boxes," Davie said. "This lets the business provision new services safely and quickly without putting IT in the critical path."
- A new approach to networking can reduce shadow IT.
Shadow IT happens when a business needs services faster than IT feels they can safely be deployed. Shadow IT comes to light when IT learns of a new software package or cloud service that was installed outside normal channels.
When IT is empowered to roll out services at the speed of business, however, the perceived need to keep the IT professionals out of the loop vanishes. Networking that is API- and policy-driven puts the right professionals in charge of each side of the coin, empowering business leaders to seek out the solutions that attract and retain more customers while keeping the protectors of data policy and procedure informed and involved at every step.
"IT is at a fork in the road. If we do things the way we have always done, IT remains an impediment, and business will continue to find ways to go around it," Davie said. "A new approach to networking will help IT become a business enabler, empowering it to provide security, productivity and load balancing while moving quickly."

The Thailand Board of Investment ("BOI") has repealed its investment promotion policy to promote International Headquarters ("IHQ") and International Trading Center ("ITC") businesses on 11 December 2018. These two activities have been replaced with a new investment promotion activity known as International Business Center ("IBC"). This is also in line with the Thai Revenue Department's ("TRD") policy to promote the IBC scheme. The objective driving such change is to support the government's policy which aims to transform Thailand into investment hub being able to compete with regional and global players.

Boston fan hurt by bat in 'serious' condition
A woman injured when a piece of a broken baseball bat flew into the stands at Boston's Fenway Park on Friday was in serious condition in hospital on Saturday.
Tonya Carpenter was admitted to hospital with "life-threatening" injuries on Friday, according to the Boston Police Department.
She had been sitting with her husband and young son at the game between the Red Sox and the Oakland Athletics and was struck in the head in the second inning when A's batter Brett Lawrie shattered his bat and a large chunk flew into the second row of the stands between home plate and the dugout

"Tonya Carpenter was admitted to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center last night following injury at Fenway Park," a statement released through the hospital said Saturday.
"She is in serious condition. Tonya's family and loved ones are grateful to all who have reached out with thoughts and prayers but are requesting privacy at this time as Tonya recovers."
The Red Sox issued a statement on Saturday saying the club "offer our prayers and our thoughts as we wish her a speedy recovery."

Q&A: Caroline Whitney, chef/patron of 3Greens Restaurant, Elstree Aerodrome
PUBLISHED: 14:29 05 February 2010 | UPDATED: 16:48 20 February 2013
Caroline Whitney takes time out from the kitchen to tell Louise McEvoy about catering for a royal wedding, her constantly changing aspirations, and Elstree's 'peculiar charm'
Tell the reader a bit about yourself.
I am married with three children and have lived in Watford for 15 years. My hobbies are gardening, reading and music.
Tell the reader briefly about your background as a chef.
Having trained at Slough College I went to work with the Roux Brothers in the West End. From there I joined the Savoy Group and worked at Claridges at the time of the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. I later moved to The Berkeley in Knightsbridge and from there to run the Orient Express. I opened my own restaurant in Camden with my ex-husband and when he was offered a wonderful opportunity in Washington DC we moved to the USA where I did outside catering. We later returned home and I took on the running of two restaurants in the West End and organised directors luncheons for major city firms.
What is the most important lesson you learned when training to be a chef?
The most important lesson I have learned is self-discipline. It enables me to work efficiently and quickly under pressure.
Have you cooked for anyone famous and, if so, who and where?
During my time in the West End and the USA I was privileged to work within brigades who cooked for numerous heads of state, ambassadors, celebrities and politicians, as well as our own royal family.
When you took over the 3Greens Restaurant what was your vision for the place, and have you achieved it?
When we took the site we could see the potential and were fully aware of the work required to update it and raise the standards. I dont feel I have achieved my vision for 3Greens, since it changes almost daily as I think it should. Constantly changing aspirations keep me interested and fend off complacency.
What sets the 3Greens Restaurant apart from other restaurants?
What set us apart are our unique location, tranquillity, regular guests, and my staff, who are always hard-working and fun to be around.
What is your favourite food and why?
My favourite food is Eggs Benedict, on Boxing Day morning with my family. Its a tradition.
What is your signature dish?
Our 3Greens soup is most popular amongst the pilots, but our signature dish is Mediterranean chicken marinated chicken breasts, pan fried and served with roasted Mediterranean vegetables.
What advice would you give to someone aspiring to be a chef?
Anyone aspiring to be a chef must be prepared for long hours of hard work. It is essential to find a place any place in a well-respected kitchen and, once there, to listen and learn. Formal qualifications are priceless, especially in todays industry.
What are your plans for the future?
My ambition is to constantly improve the standards of cuisine and service at 3Greens and to grow our business by raising its profile. All who experience a lazy morning or afternoon at Elstree fall in love with the place and I want more people to enjoy its peculiar charm.
On a day away from the kitchen, where in Hertfordshire would you most like to be and why?
When not in the kitchen I am most happy at home, probably pottering in my garden. I wouldnt want to be anywhere other than where I am now.
Where is your favourite view in Hertfordshire?
My favourite Hertfordshire view is early in the morning looking across the runway at Shenley Tower peeking out above the tree line, with horses and rabbits scampering about below and kites, magpies and the occasional skylark in the air. The aerodrome has a surreal timelessness about it especially early or late in the day and being so exposed it has a wonderfully huge sky.

It's happened to all of us at one time or another. We're trying to inch forward at the checkout or get through a door, retrieve our bags at the airport or simply move down the sidewalk and—wham—we smack into some nitwit (often, we have more colorful terms) standing there frozen, eyes glued to a smartphone.
Such are the annoyances of modern life, of course. But what if our obsessiveness with smartphone checking and, in particular, the catatonic state we enter when we do is causing far bigger problems? What if, as a result, we're actually devolving as social creatures? Even worse, what if using these supposedly life-enhancing devices is actually robbing us of important life experiences we took for granted before we all had these little screens in our pockets?
Such are the questions posed in a new pair of ads from Motorola.
Created by Ogilvy & Mather, the shorts offer a familiar yet startling look at just how much consciousness we give up when we take "just a second" to check our phones. Because, of course, it's never just a second at all. It's many minutes and, during that time, as the videos make clear, cellphone zombies become not only a hindrance to those around them, but a detriment to themselves.
The first spot, "Real People," features an experiment reminiscent of the old Candid Camera show. A lifelike mannequin, its eyes glued to the smartphone in its hand, stands anchored in various high-traffic locations around Manhattan, including the top of subway stairs and in front of a hotdog cart. As passersby notice that the immobilized New Yorker may not be real and creep in for a closer look, they notice the message on the cellphone screen: "How many times a day do you look like this?" (The answer, of course is more times than we probably care to admit.)
The theme of the second spot, "Hello Vacation" is, while perhaps not as funny, even more poignant. The video portrays Americans vacationing in some of the world's most beautiful and exotic locations but missing every minute of the experience because their attentions have been sucked into the maw of a smartphone screen.
Motorola has pegged this effort to the smartphone's 10th anniversary and also to a growing body of evidence that suggests our smartphone use may really be more like a smartphone addiction. (Citing statistics from Morgan Stanley, Motorola says 91 percent of us now have a smartphone within arm's reach and close to 50 percent of us admit we couldn't live without our devices.)
"Motorola believes that a better phone-life balance makes us happier and more connected to the people and environment around us," the company said in a statement. "That's why we're asking people around the world to examine their smartphone behavior."
Of course, the skeptic may well question the messenger here. While Motorola's concern may be genuine, it does make and sell smartphones. According to one estimate, nearly 11 million of us use the brand as of 2017. At the same time, it can't be bad corporate stewardship for a brand that makes a product that can be misused to warn consumers about the dangers of misusing that product. Alcohol brands have been doing it for years.
What's more, Motorola is getting out in front of an issue that is growing in visibility. A study released by the University of Texas at Austin in June 2017 found evidence to suggest that when a smartphone is in reach, our cognitive capacities are reduced. And a survey the previous year from Common Sense Media found that half of teens believe they are addicted to their mobile devices.
All of which is a compelling argument to leave the damned things turned off and out of sight every so often—certainly if you're on vacation, or on line for a hotdog in New York.

Service is really good, had many problems in the past with previous suppliers however since been with Business Waste I have not had any problems what so ever. From the start of the agreement the sales team was really helpful and helped with my requirements. I am in a very tricky location with not much room to store a container however I was provided with many options from the sales rep to accommodate my requirements. Customer Service from the staff is outstanding. Definitely recommend 100%.

You need to check all of the Vietnam visa requirements for Belgian citizens which you must fulfill in order to apply for this visa type. In addition, you are required to possess a passport with more than six-month validity and at least two blank pages. You also need to bring two pictures which are taken within six months from the date you write in your application form.

You can also arrange the whole processes of visa directly with the Embassy of Vietnam in Belgium without going through any third party.

On Thursday, May 9th, BW NICE (Business Women Networking Involving Charity & Education) will be celebrating their 10-year anniversary. Attendees will include members from its sixteen chapters, past and present chapter leadership, their board of trustees, as well as local business and community leaders. This special event is going to celebrate the decade-long accomplishments of this women-based networking group that began with a Hunterdon County business woman's vision to help others succeed in business, and, in life.
Diane Simovich, founder and president of BW NICE, was inspired to host a women-based networking meeting that involved education, as well as a charity component, after having a discussion with her good friend, Joe Dispenza. With his encouragement, Diane invited over 50 women from Hunterdon, Bucks, Warren and Somerset Counties to be a part of her inaugural meeting at Beaver Brook Country Club in the spring of 2009, which included a keynote speech by Senator Marcia Karrow. The concept of this group was well-received, and soon after the initial meeting, BW NICE, Business Women Networking Involving Charity & Education, was established. A unique female empowerment organization that blends the successful building of women in business with helping other women achieve their potential in life and profession began to meet on a monthly basis.
"Diane's vision for BW NICE was something nobody had ever done before. Looking at it ten years later, she has cultivated this amazing brand into multiple chapters, which is an extraordinary accomplishment," expressed Joe Dispenza, owner of Dispenza Financial, LLC.
Domestic violence, which is 100% preventable, became the charitable focus of BW NICE. Besides raising awareness, chapters also help their charity partners by collecting donations during monthly meetings, plus hosting The Red Shoe™, an annual fundraiser that encompasses fashion, fun, good food, networking, and shopping.
"Bringing like-minded women together, beyond exchanging business cards, to be supportive of one another, and, to give to much-needed charities is fulfilling beyond measure," said Linda Quartuccio, a BW NICE Corporate Ambassador and Co-chair of the BW NICE 10th Anniversary Celebration.
Since the launch of their first Red Shoe™ event in 2011, BW NICE has raised approximately $180,000 for their charity partners. They expect that number to increase significantly as they continue to experience chapter expansion into other parts of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and now, Texas. The name of this event, The Red Shoe™, came from the BW NICE logo. It symbolizes unity, strength, and empowerment and honors the journey of those who have been impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault.
"It is heartwarming to see how BW NICE has grown these past 10 years and I'm so proud of what we have achieved! It's an honor to work with such dedicated and passionate women who give of themselves each day in support of our mission, our charity partners and, most importantly, the women and families they serve. As we continue to grow, we will also continue to shine a light on all victims and survivors of domestic violence in order to evoke positive change in our communities," said Diane Simovich, founder and President of BW NICE.
A key component of BW NICE's 10-Year Anniversary Celebration is to acknowledge the many women that have volunteered their time to help this organization grow and develop into what it is present day. A representative from each charity partner, as well as the recipients of BW NICE's Business Woman of the Year award, which has honored over 20 business women to date, will be in attendance.
The BW NICE 10-Year Anniversary Celebration is going to take place on Thursday, May 9, 2019 from 4:30-8:30 p.m. at The Ryland Inn, a historic property located in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey.
