Swatch Art Peace Hotel, Shanghai
The former Palace Hotel fronting Shanghai's Bund waterfront is one of the city's oldest hotels. In its opening year, 1909, the First International Opium Commission was held here, and Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling celebrated their engagement in 1927. Winding the clock forward to 2011, this venerable landmark has been re-set as an 'art residence' for jet-set artists and travellers by new leaseholders, the Swatch Group.
Behind the russet-and-white Victorian Renaissance façade, the Swatch Art Peace Hotel is a bold reinvention. The Swatch Group's China flagship Breguet, Omega, Blancpain and Swatch boutiques grace the gilded street-level rooms on the Nanjing Road/Bund intersection. But this is more than a retail destination, or even a design hotel.
Ascending the dark Jacobean staircase, 18 work-live apartments are occupied by selected guest artists-in-residence from around the world, who enjoy a free six-month tenure. The antithesis of the 'tortured artist', these lucky painters, videographers, composers and other arty types create and bed down in designer ateliers, relax in the chic communal library, kitchen and lounges overlooking the Bund, and exhibit their work in sunlit studios and blonde-wood gallery spaces.
In return, they must leave a piece of art for the hotel collection. An installation of musically vibrating wires strung across a hotel wall is a reminder of one artist's recent stay.
If not artistically inclined, staying at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel is expected to be 'wait list' only. On the fourth floor, seven individually designed rooms and suites are available for reservations. These range from simple 40 sq m abodes with bare oak floors and grey brick walls repurposed from Shanghai alleys, to four quirky, themed suites stretching up to 250 sq m.
The suites, by Parisian designers Jouin Manku (comprising Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku), are inspired by Chinese culture with an edge of Shanghai audacity. In the Happiness Suite, a king-sized bed is cupped inside a cane half-birdcage, while a black ink-well bathtub is shielded from view by semi-transparent silk screens splashed with watercolour characters.
The kaleidoscopic Prosperity Suite is a rock-star worthy pad with a canary yellow lounge leading through to a huge cocktail bar and mirror clad jet shower. For jetlagged guests, an installation of tiny dangling sheep figurines beside the bed can be counted into snooze mode.
The sixth-floor penthouse is reserved for Kuala Lumpur-based pan-Asian restaurant and bar Shook!. Its alfresco rooftop bar, complete with two private cupola lounges, is a top spot for sunset cocktails against the dazzling backdrop of Shanghai's own artfully eccentric skyline.

If I plug in a wire, the wired entry turns un-greyed and NM connects. But the wireless options are never un-greyed. I even rmmodded and modprobed iwl3945. The wireless options disappear completely, but eventually come back greyed out. There is no indication that a network has been seen, but that's not surprising as the netowrk's SSID is hidden and NM isn't aware of it yet. Also noticed that if I stop NM and try to connect with ifup, I have to rmmod and modprobe iwl3945 before I can get it to work. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs

An extender will thin your paint and by adding it, it will assist to get a smooth finish. The Purple Painted Lady reached out to Annie Sloan Interiors and they shared that they have used XIM Latex Extender with good results in the past. Don't let the name fool you - since the word "Latex" is noted. Although there is no Latex in Chalk Paint®- this product is meant to work with any water based paints and Chalk Paint® is water based. The container in the picture below is the brand Annie Sloan Interiors referred us to use, but others are available. Their spray consultant guys tell them that the main ingredient of these extenders is propylene glycol and that you can effectively make your own extender using this ingredient. Personally, I would just suggest purchasing the product pre-packaged and ready to go.
Even though you have added water as stated in the previous step – you still dilute with water AND add the extender – if you find it's too thin to spray you can always add more paint. Don't get too hung up on the amounts – the spray guys we work with just eyeball it! Using an airless sprayer is not recommended – the high solids content in Chalk Paint® will damage the nozzle. You will want to warm your Chalk Paint® because it will spray and settle better. Place your container of paint in a bain marie of very hot water for 15 minutes. Bain Marie is a container holding hot water into which a pan is placed for slow warming. After 15 minutes, When we have taught this in workshops in the past, we used a large crockpot as a bain marie. It doesn't really matter how much water is in there just make sure it is not too high that when you set your containers in- that the water overflows into your paint!

Facebook is under fire after "The New York Times" and "The Guardian" reported that former Trump campaign consultant Cambridge Analytica used data, inappropriately obtained from roughly 50 million users to try to influence the 2016 US elections.
British data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica is at the centre of controversy in the United States and Britain after two newspapers reported on Sunday that the company harvested personal data about Facebook users beginning in 2014.
Best known for assisting the 2016 presidential campaign of US President Donald Trump, Cambridge Analytica is now facing a government search of its London office, questions from US state authorities, and a demand by Facebook that it submit to a forensic audit.
Here is some of what is known about the company.
What's Cambridge Analytica?
Cambridge Analytica is an offshoot of SCL Group, a government and military contractor that says it works on everything from food security research to counter-narcotics to political campaigns. SCL was founded more than 25 years ago, according to its website.
Cambridge Analytica was created around 2013 initially with a focus on US elections, with $15 million in backing from billionaire Republican donor Robert Mercer and a name chosen by future Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon, the New York Times reported.
The company, which the New York Times reported was staffed by mostly British workers then, assisted Republican Senator Ted Cruz's presidential campaign before helping Trump's.
What do they do?
Cambridge Analytica markets itself as providing consumer research, targeted advertising and other data-related services to both political and corporate clients.
It does not name its corporate clients but on its website describes some of them, including a daily newspaper that wanted to know more about its subscribers, a women's clothing brand that sought research on its customers and a US auto insurer interested in marketing itself.
Britain's Channel 4 News reported on Monday, based on secretly recorded video, that Cambridge Analytica stage-managed Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta's campaigns behind the scenes in the hotly contested 2013 and 2017 elections.
Cambridge Analytica denied the report.
The company's website lists five office locations in New York, Washington, London, Brazil and Malaysia.
When did it first get attention?
After Trump won the White House in 2016, in part with the firm's help, Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix went to more clients to pitch his services, the Times reported last year.
The company boasted it could develop psychological profiles of consumers and voters which was a "secret sauce" it used to sway them more effectively than traditional advertising could.
Rival consultants and campaign aides, though, expressed doubts about the company's claims.
Brad Parscale, who ran Trump's digital operations in 2016, said the campaign did not use Cambridge Analytica's data, relying instead on voter data from a Republican National Committee operation.
TRT World spoke to journalist Steve Mort on the impact the scandal could have on the social media giant.
What is it accused of?
Cambridge Analytica beginning in 2014 obtained data on 50 million Facebook users via means that deceived both the users and Facebook, the New York Times and London's Observer reported on Saturday.
The data was harvested by an application developed by a British academic, Aleksandr Kogan, the newspapers said.
Some 270,000 people downloaded the application and logged in with their Facebook credentials, according to Facebook.
The application gathered their data and data about their friends, and then Kogan passed the data to Cambridge Analytica, according to both Cambridge Analytica and Facebook.
Cambridge Analytica said on Saturday that it did not initially know Kogan violated Facebook's terms, and that it deleted the data once it found out in 2015.
Kogan could not be reached for comment.
The data, though, was not deleted, the two newspapers reported on Saturday. Cambridge Analytica said that the allegation was not true.
Facebook said it was investigating to verify the accuracy of the claim.
What happens next?
Britain's data protection authority is investigating whether Facebook responded robustly to reports that political consultancy Cambridge Analytica improperly gained access to data on 50 million of its users.
Britain's Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham is seeking a warrant to search the offices on Tuesday of the London-based firm as part of a wider probe into the use of personal data.
"We are looking at whether or not Facebook secured and safeguarded personal information on the platform and whether when they found out about the loss of the data they acted robustly and whether or not people were informed," she told BBC Radio.
Facebook said it was pressing Cambridge Analytica for answers, after getting assurances from the firm in 2015 that it had deleted all data. Facebook has hired forensic auditors from the firm Stroz Friedberg to help.
While Facebook investigates, the social network said it was suspending Cambridge Analytica, its parent SCL, Kogan and another man, Christopher Wylie, formerly of Cambridge Analytica, from its platform for violating Facebook rules.
Facebook's probe, though, may have to wait until government authorities complete their investigation.
Attorneys general from the US states of Massachusetts and Connecticut have launched investigations into how the Facebook data was handled, and the attorney general's office in California, where Facebook is based, said it had concerns.

This post is a follow up to a post from two weeks ago in which we discussed the typical symptoms and prevalence of vestibular schwannoma, sometimes known as an acoustic neuroma. In the previous post, we also discussed the typical hearing and vestibular test findings of patients with vestibular schwannoma, as well as a specific case.
Typically, those with a vestibular schwannoma have symptoms of a longstanding, gradual but progressive unilateral hearing loss. These patients may also report symptoms of gradually progressive imbalance, but do not typically report symptoms of vertigo or sudden onset hearing loss. These patients' vestibular function tests are typically grossly abnormal when assessing the affected side independently and are mostly normal when assessing vestibular function as a whole.
More information on the typical presentation of a vestibular schwannoma can be found here.
Unusual Symptoms for Acoustic Neuroma
This week's post will focus on another patient we saw recently with a confirmed vestibular schwannoma, who did not have the typical symptoms, hearing test and vestibular test findings of a patient with a vestibular schwannoma.
The auditory complaints of this patient were that of a rather rapid, progressive unilateral hearing loss in the left ear across several years. This patient had previous hearing evaluations dating back to 2014, with the first hearing evaluation revealing a severe to profound high frequency sensorineural (inner ear/auditory nerve) hearing loss in the left ear, with normal hearing in the right ear.
A subsequent hearing evaluation in 2016 revealed a further 20 dB decrement in the middle frequencies; however, the word recognition ability in that ear was still found to be excellent with 96% of words correctly repeated in quiet. A hearing evaluation performed this year (2018) revealed a significant progression of the hearing loss in the left ear, which was found to affect the low and middle frequencies. This most recent hearing evaluation revealed a moderate sloping to profound sensorineural hearing loss with extremely poor word recognition ability (0%) in a quiet scenario.
This patient's current dizziness complaints were that of visual instability with quick head movements, progressive imbalance and constant disequilibrium.
The patient was found to have a persistent, direction-fixed right beating spontaneous nystagmus (jerking eye movement only to the right) in darkness, which increased with right gaze and decreased with left gaze in darkness. This pattern of nystagmus is consistent with Alexander's Law and suppressed with a visual fixation, which is consistent with an asymmetry in the peripheral vestibular input that the patient has not compensated for. More on vestibular compensation can be found here.
Oculomotor assessment was found to be normal for this patient, suggestive of normal cerebellar function (balance and coordination center of the brain). More on oculomotor assessment and the test battery that is typically utilized clinically can be found here.
Rotational chair testing revealed reduced gain (decreased vestibulocular reflex (VOR) response) across the majority of the frequencies assessed, with a significant asymmetry to the left noted at all frequencies. This pattern of findings is consistent with the spontaneous nystagmus mentioned above, as the right beating nystagmus will be measured stronger than the left beating nystagmus due to the spontaneous nystagmus at baseline. More on Rotational chair testing can be found here.
Lateral vHIT (video head impulse test) revealed reduced VOR gain (amount of VOR response) and frequent overt and covert saccades (poor VOR response with the oculomotor system attempting to compensate for visual instability, due to poor VOR function) for head impulses to the left. Head impulses to the right were found to have normal VOR gain, but did reveal frequent unorganized overt saccades as well. More on vHIT testing can be found here and here.
Bilateral bi-thermal (warm & cool) water caloric irrigations revealed a 75% reduced vestibular response in the left ear and the directional preponderance showed 53% stronger right beating nystagmus. These caloric irrigations revealed a significantly reduced vestibular response from the left ear. The significant directional preponderance is consistent with the previously observed spontaneous nystagmus, consistent with an uncompensated vestibular hypofunction. More on caloric irrigations can be found here and here.
Atypical Findings
This patient's test findings were not typical of a patient with a vestibular schwannoma. Most individuals with a vestibular schwannoma gradually centrally compensate for the asymmetry in peripheral vestibular input over time due to the slow growing nature of these tumors, thus findings of spontaneous nystagmus and significant asymmetry on rotational chair are atypical. This patient's hearing did seem to deteriorate rather rapidly in the left ear as well.
Vestibular schwannoma or acoustic neuroma does tend to present clinically with a typical pattern of symptoms and test findings, as do most pathologies. The purpose of showing you both a typical and atypical presentation with this pathology is to urge clinicians to be aware that disease processes do not always follow the "typical" pattern and we must be aware of this to best serve our patients.

text: The PRINCES (Agaricus augustus) are out!! This week while at Hall Valley we found a few, but never enough: Campbell (our Westie) and T pose with three Princes on a slope at about 8100' elevation. It's our favorite Agaricus. Here's the best one, note the large cap with brown freckles on top, when young it's cap is marshmallow shaped. Like all Agaricus the gills are pink when young and turn brown with age; yup Agaricus species are also the button shrooms we buy in the stores. Note the shaggy stem and the ring around the stem, all Agaricus have them. Princes smell like almonds, that's how T recognizes them. Joy had never seen one before, so had to study the books to get aquainted. Cooked up in olive oil and butter with lots of garlic. We think they are the best tasting of all the Agaricus, including all those store-bought Agaricus (aka portabellos, crimini's, buttons etc.) Note also the 5-inch DO's, great for cooking side veggies.

Aromatic Olive Oil with CBD 15%
Aromatic Oil with CBD
CBWEED is a leading company in the CBD industry. In our catalogue you can find all kinds of flowers and derived products, including a wide selection of premium aromatic oils, which offer the customer the best value for money.
CBD aromatic oil with olive oil is a non-psychoactive product and is one of the most powerful derivatives available on the European market today, among those that do not use CBD crystals.
CBD aromatic oil is obtained through a CO2 process, which preserves as many cannabinoids as possible and eliminates the superfluous plant part.
There are no artificial preservatives in our golden oils, so we recommend keeping the dropper bottle tightly closed and storing the product in a cool, dark place out of reach of children.
CBWEED guarantees the highest purity of its products, which are processed to preserve all the beneficial properties of CBD in compliance with current regulations.
For an even more complete product, we recommend the new CBD aromatic oil with hemp oil, which is naturally rich in omega 3, 6 and 9, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, and is available in different concentrations, as is the one with Olive Oil.
Product available in different concentrations.
Growers department
It is easy to talk about quality, but achieving it in practice is much more complex.
Since its creation, CBWEED has questioned the possibility of having total and complete control over its supply chain, which is no small thing in a market as complex as the legal cannabis market. This vision is often overlooked, but we have found it essential to offer consumers a high quality product that complies with safety, health and legal regulations.
The answer came with the establishment of the GROWERS DEPARTMENT, our own department for the cultivation and production of our beloved Cannabis Light flowers. We believe that in order to guarantee you a controlled and tested product that meets your expectations, it is not enough to buy hemp from third parties, but rather to plant, grow, pamper and harvest it directly.
CBWEED cannabis plants are the result of work that is both physically hard and intellectually complex: inside every single bag is a world of specialists, growers and breeders.
Get lots of advice from real cultivation experts on the GROWERS DEPARTMENT YouTube channel

It's Monday morning and I'm just now going through all my notes from day 3 of NXNEi. My editor probably wanted this article yesterday but NXNE in general kind of took over my life. Now that things have calmed down I'm going to give you a run down of what I saw and experienced.
Registration Saturday morning was quick and easy, which was good since I had slept in and was in a generally grumpy mood. I got an awesome grab bag with my pass that included some energy drinks, a bunch of advertising material, a CD of local music and more. Lets get to the good stuff though:
Session 1:
The first session I attended was "The New Volunteers: Social Media and Emergencies." This panel discussed the future of volunteerism. Volunteering these days isn't just about cleaning up after a disaster. Nerds, bloggers, social media experts and more are all needed to contribute to saving lives. Teams of people can work around the world to create apps and technologies that can save thousands of lives.
One of the speakers found out about a disaster via Twitter. They then confirmed it through various means and started a Skype conversation to begin organizing help. By that night the Skype conversation had hundreds of people on it all working towards the greater good.
Session 2:
Being a writer I just HAD to check out: "Longform Storytelling in the Digital Age." This session was hosted by non-other than Evan Ratliff. That name may not sound too familiar but he's the guy who attempted to 'disappear' for a month. He basically tried to make it impossible for people to find him via the internet and technology. A $5000 prize was offered to whomever could find him.
All that is interesting but what does that have to do with longform story telling? You see, the article he wrote about that experiment was 9000 words long. It was published in Wired magazine. That is an unheard of length in the magazine industry. The recent trend has been for shorter and shorter articles. This is because peoples attention spans have diminished because of cellphones and the internet (citation needed.)
His thesis was basically that this is not true at all. Many webmasters will tell you that longer articles tend to bring in way more traffic than the short snippets we love so much. Even the New York Times has found that it's in depth investigative reports get WAY more page views than anything else it publishes.
I want to go into more detail about what he had to say but I've got lots more from NXNEi to talk about. I got his card after the session so I'll try to get an interview booked for soon and do an indepth report on it.
Session 3:
City sonic is a music project based here in Toronto that really revolutionized mobile video. The concept is simple: videos of local artists at their favourite venues. These artists include Rush, The Bare Naked Ladies and more.
Basically you download the City Sonic app here. Then as you walk around the city it might pop up with a random video to watch. This video will be about 6 or 7 minutes long and feature a Canadian artist… talking about the venue you are standing directly in front of. Venues include Sneaky Dees, The Rex, Maple Leaf Gardens and more.
There really are amazing opportunities out there when it comes to mobile video. The creativity of this idea just shows you that we are only just beginning to leverage the insane amount of power phones have these days.
I went to a few other sessions but to be honest those were the most memorable. Later that night I rocked out to Men Without Hats and then Devo. I must say, it was a good Saturday.

Australia: National Campaign Demand Dignity for Domestic Workers
2014 Oct 9, The Salvation Army's Freedom Partnership and Walk Free are launching a national campaign asking the Australian Government to sign International Labour Organisation Convention 189 (ILO C189) to enhance domestic workers rights and protections.
Photos: Toast Creative & Wes Tan Source: The Freedom Partnership- to End Modern Slavery
An estimated 54,000 domestic workers are in Australia, many of whom have travelled here to take up their job [1]. 90% of these workers are women. [2] Eric Abetz, Minister for Employment, has declined action to ratify the Convention citing that Australia already complies. In practice, barriers still remain for domestic workers to access their rights.
Domestic workers in Australia have compared their lives to being
"in jail, like a prisoner, like a slave, like a servant." One woman working in a private home was told "you must iron my clothes and make my food whenever I like and what I like…you must care for me…you are here to do the housework…otherwise it's no use keeping you here." [3]
Jenny Stanger, National Manager of The Salvation Army's Freedom Partnership says,
"There's a name for this sort of treatment: modern slavery. We view ratification of ILO C189 as a necessary tool Australia can use to combat modern slavery. The UN Special Rapporteur and others have called for ratification in the past. It's time for Australia to be a leader on this issue in our region."
Luke Geary, Managing Partner at law firm Salvos Legal Humanitarian has represented several domestic workers trafficked to Australia into private homes and even in diplomatic households. Luke's involvement in those cases extended to assisting with the following migration process, supporting potential criminal prosecutions and also civil actions against the traffickers.
"There are immense challenges for victims in achieving successful legal outcomes, especially in recovering wages they never received. Article 16 & 17 of the Convention are important in that they obligate the government to ensure access to effective complaint mechanisms. This is difficult if victims are being threatened with deportation."
Katharine Bryant, Research Manager at Walk Free and lead author of the Global Slavery Index says,
"The 2013 Global Slavery Index estimates that over 3,000 people are living in modern slavery in Australia. There have been abhorrent situations where domestic workers have been forced to work long days, abused verbally and physically by their employers, denied freedom and the wages they were promised. This includes cases of domestics working in diplomatic households, a well-documented global problem that also occurs here. "
The campaign is being launched with international human rights activist, Cecilia Flores-Oebanda, Executive Director of Visayan Forum who successfully lobbied for the passage of ILO Convention 189 by the Philippines Government in 2013.
Additional campaign asks are that domestic workers are:
- Granted bridging visas to enable them to remain in Australia temporarily to pursue civil cases against their employer if other visa options are not available;
- Provided culturally appropriate rights information prior to their departure to Australia and follow-up safety and welfare checks after arrival

Roadside drug tests could save lives
•Dianne from Lansing, formerly of Marysville: "To all the critics of the roadside drug test, maybe part of the reason that our county was picked is because Trent Sheldon had 21 nanograms of marijuana in his system when he killed Jason Schultz. Focusing on the 'move over law' as the cause of the crash was misguided — that law means nothing to someone who's stoned out of their mind! And remember Lisa Bergman who killed Russell Ward and Kody Raymo? More drugs than alcohol in her system."
•Andrew: "Tuesday's article on the secret files of JFK that made references to Detroit and it just seemed to end. There was no wrap-up to how they were related. It just left you hanging."
They're not related. The files are bits and scraps of notes, interviews and reports. The FBI tracked down a ton of leads, and thousands were pointless.
•No Name: "Do you have an investigative journalist as you did for the opioid crisis who can bring to the front for everyone to know more about the hideous, horrid, human suffering of human trafficking of sex for children, babies, women and men in our area and all over the world and has been for hundreds of years?"
•Harry: "After reading today's paper, we're still out 3,000 people living in the county. They're putting in new condos which usually older people buy. Driving through Port Huron and its vicinities, I see more empty houses than there are people to occupy them. I certainly believe that maybe some good paying jobs and good recruiting by people out there would attract a younger class of people to spend money and improve the economy."
•No Name: "On the United Way article: Of every dollar that is given to them, how much actually goes to the people who are in need? If you want to give something, give it to the Salvation Army or St. Vincent's or the food bank in Port Huron. That money goes to them."
All are wonderful groups and all need our help.
•Joan from St. Clair: "Maybe if the media would stop giving these million-dollar NFL players coverage, they would stop doing it, not take a knee."
•Jim from Melvin: "To Tom from Lexington about these people who shouldn't be able to vote: I think it's wonderful they feel this way about all these people that don't own property, don't own businesses, so I don't think Trump should be able to vote on national defense items. He was a draft dodger."

- Rating: [rating:5/5]
This year, St. Helena, a tiny little island in the South Atlantic, produced only 4,500 pounds of coffee. Two bags of the '01 crop–maybe 270 pounds–made it to the U.S. One pound of this elusive bean found its way to my house.
It's a pretty bean: small, almost round and dense. It's beautifully prepared: like a pearl, it nearly glows. While that's all well and good, the question is, how does it cup? With no small amount of trepidation, I decided to find out. How does one go about roasting a rare bean? Just like any other coffee… you take notes. In this case, lots o' notes. The only tragedy worse than messing up a batch of rare coffee like this is to not note how and why, and risk doing it twice.
This is precisely the kind of bean that makes me wish for a digital scale–measuring by volume requires a bit of guesswork with both small, dense beans and their large, less-dense cousins. The method I've worked out [based on advice from the alt.coffee newsgroup] is to fill the roast chamber as usual, switch on the air, and then add or subtract beans as needed until the surface of the bean mass lofts and bubbles just a little bit. At that point, I'm ready to give 'em some heat.
First crack starts quite quickly, and is remarkably uniform… the beans burble and pop nearly in unison. There is, it turns out, quite a pause between first and second cracks, a pause that in combination with the fragrance of this bean threw me a curve my first time through. I've become accustomed to roasting by nose, and when my nose suggested that second crack was fast approaching [the damp straw smell was entirely gone, replaced with the high, acrid-sweet scent that I've associated with the first wafts of the roasting coffee's caramelizing sugars] I killed the heat.
St Helena is a late bloomer. It develops its peak flavors at the onset of second crack. I like it best a few snaps beyond that.
That was, as it turned out, just a bit early. While still plenty drinkable, that first roast had left more brightness in the cup than I usually care for… it was still a bit sour. On the other hand, the result was certainly representative of the origin… when you roast light, you definitely taste the coffee and not the roast itself. Even lightly roasted, this coffee was rich, spicy, and had a surprising balance of brightness to body [even if brighter than I'd intended]. Most notable was the layered depth of flavors, and the long, long [did I say looong?] finish. You know the presence you feel on your tongue after sipping a great espresso? Ever experience that with brewed coffee? Remarkable.
A second attempt fared better still. Armed with my notes and stopwatch, and mindful now that this coffee is something of a late bloomer in the roaster, I had another go today. Roasted longer, I found three or more subtle degrees of caramelizing high notes to be nosed between first and second crack. The last of these was clearly at the onset of second crack, and, moments after dumping the heat I noted two or three barely audible snaps.
I tried to let it rest. Honest. But it was no more than 30 minutes later that I had my first sip. Still plenty of citrus brightness… a whole new layer of spice–pepper and clove predominant–and then another layer of dark chocolate, and another still of evergreen pungency. And then that long, long finish. This coffee makes me itch for one of Patrick Van Den Noortgaete's siphon coffee makers, just so the experience of serving it could be as rich as the coffee itself.
St. Helena is highly recommended, and when it's available next year, run, don't walk to place your order. This year's crop is already sold-out. Now, how to make what remains last….?

It goes without saying the fact that the Breitling Navitimer Replica Watches is one of the most classic watches out there. It has hugely broad appeal, it put Breitling on the proverbial map of top quality watch makers, and it is simply a great watch to boot by any measure or standard. The replica versions had a lot to live up to basically, and they made a pretty good show of it in the end. Even though there is a new Navitimer and therefore a new replica, this one also holds its own in the wind.
Frankly speaking, our MoWatches website Breitling Navitimer replica watch is with high quality although it has a little difference between it and the original. It has stainless steel case with a leather strap. Its dial is with luminous hands and index hour markers. What's more, its slide-rule complication is able to compute different airborne calculations, such as fuel consumption, climbing times & converting miles into nautical miles or kilometers. Furthermore, its automatic movement is with a 70 hour power reserve. In addition, it has scratch resistant sapphire crystal. Frankly speaking, it looks like a luxury sport watch. And it is water resistant.
In a word, our website Breitling Navitimer replica watch deserves to be bought by you.

This is a quick and healthy weeknight meal. (About 30 minutes start to finish). Big kids like to help make it too- notice AJ-Beans hands in the photos…
- 1 package whole-grain pasta
- 1 jar pasta sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 package chicken tenders (or chicken breasts sliced into strips)
- 1/4-1/3 cup Flour, seasoned with salt & pepper
- 1/4 cup Egg whites
- 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Panko (Ian's brand is really tasty)
- Fresh Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Put a pot of water on to boil for your pasta.
Whip together a quick tomato sauce:
- 1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
- Spices (Sprinkle of Garlic Salt, 2 Pinchs Red Pepper Flakes, Dash of Basil).
- Handful of spinach
Let simmer at least 20 minutes, tasting and readjusting seasonings as needed.
While it simmers, prepare your chicken:
Dredge the tenders in flour….
Then egg whites…
Then Panko crumbs.
Place triple-dipped nugglets on a oil sprayed broiler pan.
Spray all with olive oil.
Bake about 10-12 minutes or until browned and crunchy, flipping once through if needed (I had to hit broil the last 2 minutes a side).
Dish up pasta with sauce, chicken tenders on side and sprinkle with fresh Parmesan or Romano cheese. Serve with a big green salad…

Today's edition of Poetry Sunday features a return of the English poet and novelist Philip Larkin. Born in Coventry in 1922, Larkin received a degree in literature from Oxford in 1943. Though he worked for most of his life as a librarian at the University of Hull, he was well-known and widely acclaimed for his poetry and his work as a literary reviewer and jazz critic. He received numerous awards for his writing in his lifetime, including the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry, the German Shakespeare Prize, an honorary doctorate from Oxford, and an honorary rank of Commander of the British Empire, one step below knighthood. He was also offered the title of England's Poet Laureate late in life, but declined the honor. Nevertheless, Larkin was recently voted England's best-loved poet of the last 50 years in a popular poll.
Larkin's poetry is skeptical, plainspoken, down-to-earth, occasionally bleak and pessimistic but sometimes idyllic and hopeful. He was a confirmed agnostic, and his work was praised as being "free from both mystical and logical compulsions" and "empirical in its attitude to all that comes".
My choice of poem for today was inspired by the story of Edward and Joan Downes, whom I wrote about last month in "Dignity in Dying: An Atheist's View". In it, the poet describes the tomb of a long-dead husband and wife from the English nobility, and the touching, defiant statement they left sculpted in stone on their sarcophagus. The tomb in question is real: after you read this poem, go see the pictures of it.
An Arundel Tomb
Side by side, their faces blurred,
The earl and countess lie in stone,
Their proper habits vaguely shown
As jointed armour, stiffened pleat,
And that faint hint of the absurd –
The little dogs under their feet.
Such plainness of the pre-baroque
Hardly involves the eye, until
It meets his left-hand gauntlet, still
Clasped empty in the other; and
One sees, with a sharp tender shock,
His hand withdrawn, holding her hand.

What is the typical revenue split between labels and artists for streaming royalties?
What is the typical revenue split between labels and artists for streaming royalties?
Artists splits with a label depend on the following factors:
- The success of the artist (whether the artist is new to the industry or a well-established platinum artist);
- Whether the artist is signed to a major record label or an indie label.
If the label is a major record company, the artist split can range from 13% to over 20%. These artist agreements will often come with album advances. For indie labels, the split can be as high as 50%, but will often not include an advance. (An advance referring to an advance payment that will be recouped/recovered against the sales revenue of the album).
As far as the actual dollar amount of streaming royalties per stream, the answer is not a lot. Streaming royalties are derived from two sources: advertising and subscription revenue. Being that this revenue is competitively split among all of the labels that stream within the duration of the promoted ads or listener's subscription fee, the average revenue per stream can range from $0.0059 to $0.01682 as of 2018 (in the world of streaming, stretching the decimal points matter).
In each accounting month, the label will receive their share of the revenue from the digital service provider (Spotify, Napster, Tidal, etc.). This revenue amount is from the number of streams played multiplied by the revenue per stream. This amount is then split out among the artists that were played in that duration. The artist receives the amount after the artist split gets applied (so that can hypothetically be 13% times $0.0059 per stream). For an idea of how much streaming revenue amounts for an artist, this article covers how an artist incidentally climbed Spotify's playlist to be streamed one million times to payout just a little under $5,000 back in 2016.
While streaming revenue can appear extremely competitive in today's world, it is becoming increasingly critical for artists to know their numbers, whether it's streams, downloads, purchases or otherwise. When revenue for artists is now equating to less than pennies a play, it is becoming increasingly vital to gain such transparency and insights across all of the platforms where music is played.

Nantucket and Whaling
For more than a century, between 1750 and 1850, the headquarters of the global oil business was a small
island named Nantucket, twenty-four miles off the coast of Southern New England. The Nantucket
whalers were the acknowledged world leaders, the masters of the hunt for the spermaceti whale.
Many whaleboats were struck by Sperm whales resulting in the deaths of hundreds of whalers.
Most other ports at the time refused to hunt the Spermaceti whale, as it was too dangerous,
but the perils of whaling had given the men from Nantucket a high tolerance for danger and suffering.
In July of 1819, the Essex was one of a fleet of more than seventy Nantucket whaleships in the Pacific
and Atlantic oceans. With whale oil prices steadily climbing and the rest of the world's economy sunk in depression,
the village of Nantucket was on its way to becoming one of the richest towns in America.
The Nantucket Whaling Museum is housed in one of the 35 candle factories that used to thrive on the spermaceti industry in the 17 and 1800's. The candles derived from Sperm whales were said to have burned longer and brighter than any in the world. Today the whaling museum has one of the world's greatest collections of whaling equipment, scrimshaw and artifacts. Perhaps the most impressive display residing in the hallowed halls of the museum is the 18 foot jaw bone taken from a bull estimated to have been nearly 80 feet long, slightly smaller than the whale that sunk the Essex. It was Herman Melville who made the most enduring use of the Essex story.
However, at the time Moby Dick proved to be a critical and financial disappointment.
Melville traveled to Nantucket to visit Captain Pollard who by now had captained and
lost a second whaleship and was a lowly night watchman.
Melville stayed at the Ocean House
on the corner of Centre and Broad streets diagonally across from the home of George Pollard.
Melville wrote of the Essex's Captain,
Owen Chase went on to become a successful
Captain in his own right and was given an owners' share in a vessel. As the years went by, the Captain
retired a success to his house on Orange Street. However, the Essex first mate hid food in the attack,
was plagued by headaches and finally judged insane. Today one can stand along the waterfront and watch
the tourist laden ferries arrive from the mainland. It was along these same shores that early Nantucketers
used to scan the horizons for the sails of the returning whale ships, bringing home their loved ones
as well as a hold full of precious whale oil.

Power Balance, the namesake of the Sacramento Kings' arena, has filed for bankruptcy and won't be giving the Maloofs any more money owed for that naming rights deal. We don't like to see the Maloofs get screwed, so Power Balance deserves not one iota more publicity from the arena. So we need something else to call the building.
On Tuesday, we asked for your suggestions. Today, we ask you to vote on the options with the most recs in Tuesday's thread. The name will make its useful debut in our recap of the Kings' preseason opener tonight, assuming that the Maloofs don't announce a new naming rights partner before then.
Have it at, and make the case for your favorite in the comments.

Standing vice Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Tat Thanh Cang made the pledge at a reception for visiting head of the Lao Office of Supreme People's Prosecutor Khamsane Souvong on January 5.
Standing vice Secretary Tat Thanh Cang highlighted the close and effective relations between Ho Chi Minh City and Lao localities over the past year, particularly in education and investment.
Ho Chi Minh City has established friendly and cooperative ties with the Lao capital city of Vientiane and Champasak province, he said, adding they have actively implemented cooperation projects, such as providing technical assistance for improving beef cattle herds and training budget management skills.
The Standing vice Secretary expressed his hope that the two nations' procuracy agencies would continue boosting their cooperation and information exchanges, and support each other in staff training.
For his part, the Lao guest said that the fruitful cooperation between the two nations' procuracy sectors has contributed to consolidating the long-lasting special relationship between Vietnam and Laos.
He expressed his admiration for Ho Chi Minh City's dynamic development, hoping that the municipal authorities would continue to facilitate the partnership between its firms and Lao localities in all fields.

The Guide to Rocky Mountain Vegetable Gardening (Cool Springs Press, 2009) is a vegetable gardening book that addresses the unique growing conditions and challenges of the five states of the Rocky Mountain region. Authors Bob Gough and Cheryl Moore-Gough include advice on everything from starting your garden from seed, to planning your garden with helpful space-saving techniques. Helpful charts will outline when to plant and when to harvest cool and warm season vegetables. The following excerpt comes from chapter one, "The Lay of the Land: Climate and Soils."
You can buy this book in the MOTHER EARTH NEWS store:The Guide to Rocky Mountain Vegetable Gardening.
Of all the information that we will share with you in this book, the most important thing for you to know is the specific climate and soil type of your area. Our five-state area covers more than a half million square miles from the flats of the western Great Plains west beyond the alpine peaks of the Rockies. Wow! But what you'll need to know to get started can be found in our state-by-state general discussions of the soils, precipitation, temperatures, and storms that will have an influence on your garden. Ours is a region of extremes, and gardening here can be a challenge. The most important issue is elevation, for elevation has the most significant impact on temperature, precipitation, and local weather conditions. Sometimes there's as much as 30 to 40ºF of difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures, and the intense sunlight can burn plant foliage and rapidly dry soil and leaves. Soils become thinner at higher elevations and hence are less suitable for vegetable gardens. You'll quickly learn to amend and enrich your garden soil to be successful, but it's important to know the type of soil in your garden to determine what additions may be needed.
Gardeners can expect about an 11°F reduction in temperature for every 3,300-foot increase in elevation. But even small differences in elevation can cause marked differences in growing conditions. For example, we used to live six miles south of Bozeman, Montana, where our garden was about 200 feet higher than Bozeman proper, yet our growing season was about a month shorter than that in town. Part of the reason was the heat sink effect (heat retaining effect) of towns, but another was the small difference in elevation.
We've included tables in the Appendix containing elevation, average length of the growing season, and the range in the length of the growing season of twelve cities for each state included in the Rocky Mountain region. The length of a growing season is based on the average number of days between the first and last frosts (that is, 32.5°F temperatures). Using these figures you can estimate the length of your garden's growing season pretty closely.
Our extreme variability in growing season length is the result of the highly variable climatic conditions that make our gardens such a challenge. There may be multiple sets of data for the same town, depending upon whether the information was collected at the airport, in the town center, or at the local agricultural experiment station.
Colorado is the highest state in the United States, with an average elevation of 6,800 feet. About 40 percent of the state is the High Plains, which slope gently higher as you move westward from the eastern border at elevations of 3,350 to 4,000 feet, through the Front Range. The High Plains are usually hot on summer mornings and cool during an afternoon thunderstorm. Those thunderstorms can sometimes be severe and the hail they contain can destroy gardens in minutes. The daily maximum summer temperature is about 95°F at elevations below 5,000 feet but cools at higher elevations to the west. There are wide variations in temperatures within short distances. For example, the difference in average annual temperature between two gardens only 90 miles apart can be equivalent to differences in temperature between Florida and Iceland. About 85 percent of its annual precipitation falls in summer. Gardeners in the northeastern areas enjoy a respectable growing season of about 140 days; those in the southeastern areas, an even longer season of about 160 days; and the fortunate few in the extreme southeastern corner of Colorado relish their 180-day seasons.
About 200 miles west of the eastern border lie the Foothills, with elevations of about 7,000 to 9,000 feet. Gardening here becomes challenging, with an average July temperature of 60°F and daily highs in the 70s and 80sºF. Nights are particularly cool all summer long, which will limit your vegetable selection. Cool-season crops will do well but warm-season crops will be more of a challenge. Beyond the Foothills lie the mountains, rising from 9,000 to 14,000 feet, and beyond them is the high plateau that extends to the western border at elevations above 10,000 feet. While there may be some gardens in the low western valleys, much of the mountainous area simply does not have a growing season long enough to make it worthwhile. Nights are so cool above about 8,000 feet that many folks simply do not garden. Gardeners in the valleys of the Gunnison, Dolores, and Colorado Rivers enjoy especially long growing seasons, with the area around Grand Junction having up to 221 frost-free days in some years. Summers are wet in the eastern areas of the state but they are pretty dry in the western areas.
Productive Colorado soils, like those throughout the lower elevations of our region, have low acidity, which can cause some nutrient deficiencies. Front Range soils tend to be heavy clays that need amendments. Adding coarse sand equal to about 50 to 80 percent of the top eight inches or so of garden soil will go far to amend what you have.
The soils along river valleys are most productive, as are soils in the moister northeastern parts of the state. Drier soils on the plains of southern Colorado and on the mountain slopes and plateaus are thin and can be relatively unproductive.
Idaho's elevation rises from north to south, with the lowest location at the confluence of the Clearwater and Snake Rivers (738 feet) and the highest at Mt. Borah in Custer County, (12,655 feet). Large parts of the state, especially northern areas, are strongly influenced by Pacific Ocean air, though eastern Idaho is not. Temperatures are highest at the lower elevations of the Clearwater and Little Salmon River basins and along parts of the Snake River Valley from Bliss to Lewiston. Gardeners in Swan Falls enjoy the highest annual average temperature for the state (55°F) while those in Obsidian, at 6,780 feet, experience the lowest (35.4°F). Daily temperature fluctuations are most extreme in the high valleys and the semi-arid plains of the Snake River. In fact, the daily temperature from July to September can vary by more than 30°F at Boise.
Idaho precipitation patterns are complex. Average valley precipitation is greater in the southern sections, with large areas of the Clearwater, Payette, and Boise River basins getting 40 to 50 inches or more per year. On the other hand, large areas in the northeastern valleys, much of the Upper Snake River plains, the Central plains, and the lower elevations of the southwestern valleys receive fewer than ten inches per year. In the northeastern valleys and the eastern highlands less than half the rain falls between April and September, while in the Boise, Payette, and Weiser River drainage basins less than a third falls in those same months. Low relative humidities throughout the state mean dry air and rapid drying of soils and plants.
Wind throughout the state can be highly destructive, and savvy Idaho gardeners plant in protected areas.
As in other states, the growing season varies greatly depending on elevation, soil type, topography, and vegetation cover. Lewiston and its immediately surrounding areas have the longest seasons in the state. The central Snake, and lower Payette, Boise, and Weiser River basins enjoy about 150-day seasons, while upstream areas of the Snake near Pocatello and Idaho Falls have about 125-day growing seasons. Some high valleys have no growing season at all.
The most productive Idaho soils are the desert soils along the Snake River and the prairie soils in the western part of the state around Lewiston and Moscow. In general, the rest of the state has relatively poor soil.
Montana has great climatic variations. The western part of the state is mountainous while the eastern two-thirds is part of the Great Plains. Elevations vary from a low of 1,800 feet in the northwestern part of the state where the Kootenai River enters Idaho to 12,850 feet at Granite Peak near Yellowstone Park. About half the state lies above 4,000 feet. Land west of the Continental Divide enjoys a modified northern Pacific Coast climate, with milder winters, more even distribution of annual precipitation, cooler summers, stronger winds, more cloudiness, higher relative humidity, and shorter growing seasons than those of eastern Montana. In western Montana hot spells are rare in summer and of relatively short duration, though temperatures can sometimes top 100°F in the low valleys. Above 4,000 feet it is almost never "very hot." Eastern Montana has a more extreme climate with average July temperatures of 74°F in southern areas. Midsummer days are warm but nights cool into the 50s and 60sºF. Miles City is one of the warmest parts of the state, having a July minimum of 60°F and an average maximum temperature of 90°F.
Precipitation is highly variable. The western mountains are the wettest area and nearly half of the annual precipitation falls from May to July. Heron is the wettest location, receiving 34.7 inches of rain on average each year. North-central Montana is the driest part of the state, although the absolute driest spot is near Belfry along the Clark Fork of the Yellowstone River in Carbon County. Belfry receives an average annual precipitation of only 6.59 inches.
Summer storms are frequent, with hailstorms in July and August causing about five million dollars of crop damage annually.
The average growing season for Montana is about 130 days. Most of the agricultural areas enjoy a growing season of more than 120 days, while the middle Yellowstone River Valley in the area around Miles City can expect a 150-day season. The higher valleys of western Montana have no growing season at all.
Soils in the eastern parts of the state are rich and can be quite productive, as can be the soils along major rivers like the Yellowstone, the Milk, and the Missouri.
Most of Utah is mountainous, varying from an elevation of about 2,500 feet in the Virgin River Valley in southwestern Utah to 13,498 feet at Kings Peak in the Uinta Mountains. Most of the state receives only light precipitation throughout the year.
The lower elevations generally are warmer than elevated valleys and mountains. In general, the southern counties are 6 to 8°F warmer than the northern counties. There are wide daily fluctuations in temperatures, and in winter on clear nights the cold air settles in the valley bottoms while the benches and foothills remain warmer. Experienced gardeners know that the best growing areas are the higher lands at the valley edges. Although there is no orderly or extensive zone of equal length growing season, most agricultural areas of the state enjoy 130- to 150-day seasons.
Precipitation is highly variable, ranging from fewer than five inches per year over the Great Salt Lake Desert to more than forty inches in some areas of the Wasatch Mountains. The annual average for agricultural areas is about ten to fifteen inches. Areas of the state below 4,000 feet receive less than ten inches. Northwestern and eastern Utah are also quite dry.
The loam soils in the narrow belt at the base of the Wasatch Range are highly productive, as are the dry soils and the gray desert soils in much of western and some parts of eastern Utah.
Wyoming's elevation rises from north to south, with an average elevation of 6,700 feet. The lowest elevation is 3,125 feet near the northeastern corner of the state; the highest is the 13,785-foot Gannet Peak in the west central part of the state. Eastern Wyoming has an average elevation of 4,500 feet while the foothills to the west rise to 6,000 feet and more.
The entire state is relatively cool and areas above 6,000 feet rarely experience temperatures of 100°F. The average maximum temperature in July is 85 to 95ºF, though areas above 9,000 feet have an average July maximum of only about 70°F. The lower part of the Big Horn basin, the lower elevations of central Wyoming, and the northeastern and eastern sections along the border are the warmest. Summer nights are cool.
Late spring and early fall frosts are common. The average growing season in the main agricultural areas is about 125 days. Areas along the eastern border west to the foothills can experience growing seasons from 100 to 130 days, while Farson, near Sandy Creek off the Green River, has only a 42-day season. There is practically no growing season for tender plants in the upper Green River Valley, Star Valley, and the Jackson Hole area.
Elevations greater than 7,000 feet receive annual precipitation of up to thirty inches, with about a third of that falling during the growing season. Southwestern Wyoming at elevations of 6,500 to 8,500 feet receives 7 to 10 inches. Lower elevations at 4,000 to 5,500 feet in the northeastern parts of the state and along the eastern border can expect about 12 to 16 inches per year. The southwestern sections are very dry. The lower part of the Big Horn Basin, with 5 to 8 inches, is the driest. Seaver, at 4,105 feet, receives 5.5 inches. Worland, near the southern part of the basin, receives 7 to 8 inches; Thermopolis, 11 to12 inches; and Laramie, in the southeast corner of the state at 7,236 feet, about 10 inches. As an example of how quickly conditions change in the West, Centennial, only thirty miles west of Laramie but at an elevation of 8,074 feet, receives about 16 inches per year. The High Plains area receives about 10 to 15 inches per year, with 9 to 12 inches of that falling during the growing season.
Gardeners along the eastern border below 4,500 feet can expect a growing season of 130 to 150 days. The area from the eastern border to the foothills at elevations of 4,500 to 6,000 feet usually has growing seasons of 100 to 130 days, while elevations of 6,000 to 7,000 feet can experience seasons ranging from 80 to 100 days. Shorter seasons of about 80 days or fewer prevail above 7,000 feet. In some areas frost can occur every night. Both hail and wind can cause problems.
The lowlands of eastern Wyoming have some very fertile moist and dry soils but low precipitation and low temperatures limit their usefulness. You can modify these with careful irrigation and season extenders and you will have a great garden.
Putting It All Together
Gardening becomes increasingly more challenging the higher the elevation, and the cool summer nights, short growing seasons, and poor soils make gardening at elevations above 7,000 to 8,000 feet very difficult. Site characteristics vary so widely that you must understand your specific garden conditions, based upon the soils, precipitation, and climatic conditions within a few hundred yards of your garden. Pay close attention to your location and choose your varieties wisely. And remember, following some good neighborly advice will go a long way toward making you a successful gardener.

Making a bad choice can make your legal issues even more troubling. The article below will give you what you need to choose a great lawyer that can win your case.
Make sure you lawyer is easy to reach. Having a lawyer is something that a lot of people complain about. You want to avoid being left wondering what's going on with your case just because he is out playing golf.
You may want to have an attorney on retainer just in case something catastrophic happens.This will prevent you not to be under too much pressure so you're able to take some time when you're looking for a trustworthy lawyer. A retained lawyer will also be able to answer any way.
Ask lawyers that you are considering for a list of their fees list. The charges can vary widely depending on the lawyer's experience and skill; therefore, so you need to know what is in store. It is highly problematic to lose your attorney after your case has already underway.
Although a lawyer specializing in a particular area of the law may cost more upfront, it is well worth it.A general attorney will have to spend billable hours background researching your case, saving you research fees.
Use a legal referral service. These referral services will help connect you find the best lawyer for your case. Other services will list favorable lawyers who only meet the bare minimum required by law. Find out what qualifications are before using a referral service for this very important decision.
Make sure that you feel comfortable in every way about the lawyer. A top lawyer will both know what he's talking about and good people skills so that you feel completely at ease when you see him. Find a different lawyer if yours isn't friendly.
A good lawyer is aware that guarantees are not possible; the ones who make those claims are just to get you to hire them. This is something you search for a lawyer.
It will be easier to work with your lawyer if you guys have good chemistry. If you're not able to be at ease after meeting with a lawyer a couple of times, you won't have a good client-lawyer relationship. Trust your instincts when choosing a lawyer that suits you.
Ask a lot of questions to every lawyer that you interview many questions. When you speak with the lawyer on the phone or in person, they need to be able and willing to answer the questions you ask them.They need to make you comfortable with the knowledge and experience they have. If they do not accommodate your requests, then you should find someone else to represent you.
Before you hire any attorney, check with your state bar association for complaints or problems. If they have a few complaints, read into them and make your judgments on whether you want to hire them.
If the office takes a long time returning your messages, you may want to find another attorney.
If you have a feeling that you aren't getting full support from a lawyer, remember that your lawyer wants to win too! They have lots of experience in these and know what is required for a winning outcome.
Do some research prior to filing a Workman's Compensation paperwork. Each state maintains different laws when dealing with the time you've got to file and proof you need. Worker's Compensation is not like other court claims and should be approached so. There are different that need to be done.
Interview multiple lawyers, even if the first one seems like they'll work. Legal issues may last a while, and therefore it is important to have a good comfort level with your lawyer. Choosing the best one at the beginning can make everything go smoothly.

Bernard C. Fox, Jr. (In Memoriam)
It is with great sadness that the Fox & Fox family announces the loss of their patriarch, Bernard C. Fox Jr., on March 5, 2018, after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.
An attorney for 40 years, Barney was passionate about the practice of law and a fearless advocate for the clients he represented. He was a champion of the marginalized underdog and for those without a voice. To his professional colleagues, Barney was considered a skilled civil litigator in the Cincinnati community and was beloved by friends and foes alike.
To his legion of friends, Barney was the kind of person you meet once in your life. He was blessed with a quick wit, a sublime sense of irony and an untold compassion for the well-being of his friends.
But Barney's greatest joy was his family. He is survived by his loving wife of 27 years, Sandy, and his children Virginia, Cassandra, Brandon, Jake, Brady and Savannah. Barney was the eldest of 11 children and is preceded in death by his mother, Margaret Mary Fox, father, Bernard C. Fox Sr., and sisters Grace Abanto and Angela (David) Wilson. He is survived by siblings Patrick, Frank (Barb), Mary Jo (Karl) Hundley, Emily Burton, Margaret Mary (Dale) Burton, Ann Linville, Tony (Pam) and Kathleen (Murray) Still.
Barney was a 1967 graduate of St. Xavier High School. He attended college at the University of Cincinnati and was a 1978 graduate of Salmon P. Chase College of Law. He served as a constable for Judge Wood and joined the Office of the Ohio Attorney General in 1979. He joined the practice of Fox & Clear L.P.A. with his father, Bernard C. Fox Sr., in 1983. He and his father formed the law firm of Fox & Fox Co. L.P.A. in 1986.
