Ralph Radtke is just not a person in need of confidence.
Throughout our hour-long chat at Çırağan Palace Kempinski in Istanbul he compares himself, favourably, to British wartime chief Winston Churchill, and declares he may have been chancellor of Germany had that been his ambition.
However such a bigger than life constitution is the proper chief for a property equivalent to Çırağan Palace – maybe probably the most well-known resort in all of Turkey.
With a historical past stretching again centuries, it's an icon in its personal proper, and a jewel within the Kempinski portfolio.
"Çırağan Palace Kempinski is probably the most recognized resort in Turkey, it has a spot within the historical past of the nation," explains Radtke.
"Three sultans lived right here, and their tales are intertwined by the resort – their affairs, intrigues, it was all right here.
"This can be a resort with a turnover of US$100 million a 12 months, it's not a small place, we have now a workforce of 800 or extra – we're not a small chateau the place the supervisor cooks within the kitchen!"
Now in place for greater than seven years, an unusually lengthy tenure at this rarefied degree of the hospitality sector, Radtke had in truth been making an attempt to depart the trade earlier than his appointment.
"I give up the resort enterprise, after a very long time with Accor, the place I used to be senior vice chairman for Sofitel in northern, central and japanese Europe, Turkey and Israel," he tells me over espresso.
"I used to be there, managing a portfolio of 15 accommodations with a complete turnover of €150 million, from 2007 till the summer time of 2011, however I travelled an excessive amount of.
"It was an excessive amount of work and I couldn't sleep in my mattress once I got here house – I mentioned to my spouse, 'we have now to vary the mattress'.
"However I realised, I missed the Sofitel mattress, I used to be so used to it, that I most popular it to my own residence – that is once I knew I needed to change.
"I took a while out, however visited Istanbul with my spouse, who's Turkish, and we stayed right here at Çırağan Palace Kempinski – we took a collection.
"In August that 12 months, the president of Kempinski contacted me and tried to persuade me to hitch the resort.
"I mentioned, no, I'm not – however my spouse satisfied me, and I began in October 2011 – so I used to be unable to give up the enterprise."
It took a resort of the stature of Çırağan Palace to vary his thoughts.
The one Ottoman imperial palace on the Bosphorus that after hosted sultans, the placement has a heritage that dates to the 17th century.
The constructing had totally different formations till the 19th century, together with a waterside summer time villa and a marble palace.
In 1871, sultan Abdülaziz redesigned the palace with well-known architects of the Balyan household, veterans of palace design within the Ottoman Empire.
For the development of the palace, the best marbles, porphyries, mother-of-pearl and different invaluable supplies have been introduced from everywhere in the world.
In 1909, Çırağan Palace was chosen as the positioning for a major assembly of the Turkish parliament, and shortly after the conclusion of the assembly, the palace interiors have been destroyed by a fireplace.
From 1930 on, the Besiktas Soccer Staff even used the backyard of the palace as their soccer stadium.
The constructing stayed unkempt after the fireplace, and at last in 1991, after a whole restoration and with the addition of a contemporary resort constructing together with elegant rooms, eating places and assembly venues, the property reopened.
Since its opening, Çırağan Palace continues to be an emblem of luxurious.
"Right here in Istanbul we have now two 4 Seasons, Raffles, Fairmont, St. Regis and Shangri-La in addition to a Mandarin Oriental and Peninsula beneath building," explains Radtke.
"However we're robust, Çırağan Palace is a model in its personal proper, outdoors of Kempinski, we may open a Çırağan Palace in New York or in London or wherever – once I say I'm from the Çırağan Palace, folks know the resort."
With its 313 rooms, together with 20 suites within the resort and 11 within the historic palace, the resort displays a harmonious mix of the heritage, high fashion service and Turkish hospitality.
Throughout their time on the resort, company can take pleasure in a wealthy number of eating places and really feel themselves in an oasis within the metropolis centre.
There are additionally intensive leisure services together with an infinity pool, luxurious spa and verdant gardens.
For these actually trying to have a good time, Çırağan Palace Kempinski additionally affords the Sultans' Dinner.
Drawing on the historical past of the property, and framed by vintage candelabras, jardinière, 19th century carafes and an imperial silver espresso set, it affords a wealthy banquet of royal delicacies.
Flamboyant flowers, laced plates, cutleries, napkins, glasses, and the particular embroidered uniforms of the employees full the expertise.
However, with Turkey presently present process a interval of political turmoil, it has not all been plain crusing for Radtke and his workforce.
"It's not the simplest time for certain, the Turkish lira is falling, so that may be a downside – but additionally dwelling in Turkey, for the native folks, is getting dearer, this builds strain.
"We gave a 5 per cent wage enhance to our employees, to recognise their contribution, and we'll look once more in January – with out our workforce we'd be nowhere.
"However the trade fee has made the vacation spot extra engaging, in order that helps us."
He provides: "What's extra vital although, are journey warnings, with the USA issuing warnings, it means travellers can not get insurance coverage, so they don't come.
"The People are an vital marketplace for us, adopted by the UK after which Germany, however that is altering, beneath political strain.
"We've seen, over time, extra Center Jap company: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain have all grown for us.
"However we have now an excellent stability, we search to not put all our eggs in a single basket.
"We've additionally been growing the Indian, Chinese language and South American markets, a course of that has been occurring for numerous years, to organize for this, a long-term mission."
Since its opening, Çırağan Palace Kempinski has been the one resort in Istanbul reachable in 3 ways – by limousine, yacht or helicopter – and has seen numerous eminent figures come via its doorways, together with authorities delegates, royal households and celebrities.
It has additionally been recognised as the most effective within the enterprise, with voters on the World Journey Awards honouring the resort with the prize for World's Main Heritage Resort for the previous three years.
"Awards are all the time good, it's to start with recognition for the workforce right here, a motivation for them to proceed what they're doing," provides Radtke.
"On the opposite aspect, it's safety for the company, who know they're getting the most effective.
"We promote the awards, though not in an aggressive method; we need to share our happiness with company.
"These awards are for all of Turkey, the resort is so well-known, these titles are good for the nation.
"Çırağan Palace is a timeless place, and these awards recognise this."
On a private observe, Radtke, who turns 66 on the finish of the 12 months, has formally retired in Germany.
However, a person of boundless power, he seems to have some years left in him but in a job he clearly relishes.
"These iconic accommodations, folks need to see the final supervisor, to share the tales of the place, they need the employees to remain in place, to allow them to keep in mind them and know their preferences," he explains.
"It's a part of my job, folks need to see you, we're like actors – once I come to work it is sort of a theatre play, the resort is my stage.
"Within the night, once I go house, the curtain closes, and the play is over."
With a person as compelling as Radtke in place, there are prone to be a number of extra dramatic scenes on the palace earlier than this present involves an in depth.

Sun Quest is designed with five reels and three rows with nine paylines. This is one of those slots which doesn't relate much to its title as you will not see much symbols related to the sun. You will see just one nod which is passing into a bright light over the reels.
The symbols as well are not drawn with much creativity. These include fruits such as lemons, cherries, oranges, strawberries, and watermelons. Apart from these symbols, there are certain gold bars, bells, sevens, a big golden coin and diamonds. Also, notice that you just need two higher symbols in order to make winning combos.
The wild symbol is designed in reference to the game's title. It is represented by a nice sunset view which has some details of other objects like yachts and palm trees. It will appear only the on the reels two, three and four. It will substitute for all other symbols apart from the scatter symbol. Scatter symbol is represented by a colourful object. However, it is easier to get this symbol because you don't need to land it on the payline for making a win. Just land them three in number anywhere in the view and enjoy your luck.
Sun Quest doesn't have any kind of bonus features to give a boost to your payouts. So, the only way to grab a win a win is by spinning the reels. You can make some decent combinations with the help of two high-value symbols. Hence, this slot doesn't allow you to make heavy wins, however, you can make some small wins. Also, the biggest possible payout is a large amount of 10000x of your line stake. In order to get this, you just have to land five golden coins on any one of the active paylines.
The Final Payout
Sun Quest is pretty good for those who like to play on basic reels and if you are a beginner, it provides you with some simple features in order for you to get comfortable with the slot world.

Book Description:
Cian DeMarco, a sexy, rockstar billionaire vampire has lived in San Francisco's prestigious Cliff Side neighborhood in his beautiful mansion overlooking both the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean for seventy years. Happily—or so he thought. Until the rare beauty that is Magdalena De la Rosa sits down at one of the front-row tables in Club Royal where he and his band perform once a week.
Magdalena De la Rosa has it all—Bachelor's degree in journalism, a job she loves in California, a gorgeous apartment in San Francisco, and a dream guy. Except her boyfriend lives and works in Sacramento—an hour and a half drive from the city Magdalena has always fantasized about living in. All her dreams change, however, when she and her girlfriend find their way into an upscale nightclub and she's suddenly swept off her feet by the lead singer of that night's performing rock band, The Lost Boys.
Sparks ignite between the two until a threat that was thought to no longer exist returns to wreak havoc on Cian's and Magdalena's lives. Will the temptation to be together outweigh the reality of what Cian must do to keep Magdalena safe from harm?
A stand-alone book. The first in the all-new Immortal Hearts of San Francisco series. 18+ due to adult content.

Physio reaches seventh century in the dugout...
Rotherham United Manager Steve Evans has paid tribute to physio Denis Circuit who will bring up 700 games in the dugout when he picks up his medical bag this Saturday.
Denis, who has enjoyed two spells with the Millers, either side of a successful time at Sheffield United under Dave Bassett and Howard Kendall brings up the milestone with the game against Colchester United, on what will prove to be a special day for the man with the magic sponge.
The long-serving physio will feature on the front cover of Millers Matchday, and inside will be the story of his time in the dugout, with everything from the highs of promotions, to the horrific incident with Stephen Brogan and his many encounters with former favourite Chris Swailes.
However, current Millers boss Steve Evans has paid tribute to his Head of Medical ahead of this milestone encounter.
"He has been absolutely awesome for me and the management team since I walked through the door," Steve Evans told Millers Player. "He's there on a bad day for me, he's the first to tell me to get up and fight and his rehabilitation work with the players is excellent. He's like the father figure of the whole group. His contacts in his trade are unrivalled when it comes to operations and his medical knowledge is first class. We love him and he means a lot to us, and I'd say I take more from him than anyone else at the football club barring the Chairman."
It may be 700 not out for Denis, but chances of reaching 800 in the dugout appear to be over, as he has announced that after seeing the Millers promoted in New York Stadium last season, it's finally time to hang up his medical bag.
"After 30 years of working six or seven days a week I just felt it was time to finish, to give me time to do other things in life," Denis revealed.
"Everybody tells me that I am going to miss it, well I know I am but there comes a time when you have to call it a day. I could have retired before now but I said to myself just one more year, but if you are not careful four or five years pass by and you miss opportunities to do other things. I know I will miss it but I feel that this is the time to bow out."
Make sure you pick up your copy of Millers Matchday this Saturday to read all about his glittering career on the sidelines and stay tuned to Millers Player to hear what close friend and colleague Paul Warne has to say about one of his finest moments.
Rotherham United are 28/1 to replicate the 2001 scoreline and win 3-2 with Sky Bet, and if you open an account and deposit before the end of November, the Millers will get a £10 bonus. Join now at www.skybet.com/rotherham

Life is all about playing the odds.
Making choices is seldom an exactscience. Usually you can't computeall the possible ramifications ofdeciding on one course of action oranother. You have to guess which isbest. It boils down to assessing thelikelihood of various possible outcomesfor a given decision, weighing current evidence in the lightof previous experience.
Fortunately, brains are pretty good at rendering such
probabilistic judgments. That's because brains are Bayesian.
Bayesianism is not a disease named for the doctor who
first diagnosed it, but a mathematical philosophy named
for the English clergyman who first articulated it. The Rev.
Thomas Bayes, in a paper published in 1764 (three years
after he died), described mathematical methods for combining expectations from experience with new data to compute
a probability. While widely accepted for a while, the Bayes
approach was held in disrepute for much of the 20th century,
thanks to the superior PR apparatus of a competing statistics
philosophy known as frequentism.
Nowadays Bayesian statistics is enjoying a resurgence in
popularity, thanks to its superiority in actually doing statistics.
(If you're a subscriber to Science News, you can read more
about that in my column, available at http://bit.ly/SNBayesian,
from the September 26 issue of Science News Prime.) But in
a sense, Bayesian statistics has been the most popular form
of influential reasoning all along, extending back long before
Bayes was born. As Laura Sanders reports on Page 18, the
human brain itself seems to observe the Bayesian prescription for mixing experience with new evidence to produce
accurate guesses about probabilities. Scientists have suggested that brains employ Bayesian methods in all sorts of
tasks, from performing visual searches to solving simple
math problems.
It may very well be that the process of science itself —
the gathering of experiences about the world leading to
explanations about how it works — exploits cognitive capaci-ties that are built on Bayesian principles (even for scientists
who are devotees of frequentism). Bayesian inference seems
to be the best way to cope with the real world in real time.
Evolution's choice of Bayesianism as the best way to bet
suggests that today's textbook science ought to embrace it
more enthusiastically. — Tom Siegfried, Editor in Chief

CUNA staff hosted a webinar Tuesday highlighting the latest Member Activation Program (MAP) campaign, Stop the Data Breaches. CUNA launched the campaign last week to focus on educating and activating members to call on members of Congress to enact data breach legislation. A recording of the webinar is available for free to CUNA members.
Trey Hawkins, CUNA's deputy chief advocacy officer for political action, said credit unions' efforts passing S. 2155 shows the success possible with strong grassroots efforts.
"We learned during S. 2155 that we need to keep a steady drum beat when it comes to contacting lawmakers and policymakers, and that's what we want to do here," he said. "Now is the time to start educating credit union members, helping them and getting them the tools they need to start educating lawmakers. That's how we're going to see action."
CUNA believes effective data breach legislation must contain:
With the House on its August recess, and the Senate expected to have an in-district work session next week, Eli Joseph, CUNA's deputy chief advocacy officer for congressional relations, said it's a perfect opportunity for credit unions to get the message out.
"Lawmakers are going to be back in district, and it's a great time to talk to them about data breaches and how they're impacting your institution," he said.
Credit unions that sign up for the campaign will have access to customizable resources to reach their members with information on data breach effects and solutions. Stakeholders can also use CUNA's newly launched MAP community to ask questions, get feedback and share results and resources with credit unions around the country.
The webinar was sponsored by CUNA Mutual Group, which has also worked closely with CUNA on its data breach advocacy and helps support the campaign's website.

Age Eraser System Reviews
About Age Eraser System
The Age Eraser System is a new anti-aging health and wellness guide from Dr. David Struthers which promises to show people how to erase common signs of aging with a simple form of facial massage you can do at home.
How Does It Work?
In his online video presentation, Dr. David Struthers says that he had been an LA based dermatologist for more than 30 years when he discovered an anti-aging technique from a fellow doctor that worked better than all his "cutting edge" tools and methods put together.
The technique is a system of facial massages that have been used for hundreds of use by Chinese Royalty to keep common signs of aging at bay, including sagging jowls, crow's feet, dark under eye circles, deeply furrowed brows, and more.
According to the presentation, underneath the skin of your face is a system of pressure points which all connect to different aspects of your physical appearance. For example, massaging certain pressure points will relieve muscle tightness, thereby softening wrinkles, while massaging other pressure points will improve blood circulation and flush out the toxins responsible for pre-mature aging.
The Age Eraser System will provide users with hand drawn diagrams of the human face, charts describing the massaging motions, and descriptions of which movements affect each part of the muscles and tissue. The presentation says that using these techniques for just five minutes at home each day can help someone look more than a decade younger in just 30 days.
Cost/Price Plans
The website says that the original price of this guide was $249, but it is currently being sold at just $39 through the Clickbank digital marketplace so that the largest number of people can take advantage of what it has to offer.
Refund Policy
The Age Eraser website provides little to no information on any refund they would allow users to request, but the Clickbank marketplace always offers customers a 60 day Refund Policy so that customers who are unhappy with what they have received have the ability to request a refund through them.
Customer Service Contact Info
Customers who would like to contact their Customer Service team with questions, concerns, or complaints can do so by submitting them directly to their website through their Contact Us link.
Unfortunately there are no reviews for this specific product at this time, as it is likely fairly new to the anti-aging market. Certainly people who are considering buying this product should think long and hard about the types of promises it is making, claiming that these massages have the ability to make people instantly look younger.
There is really no product or technique out there that will literally make an 80 year old man with partial facial paralysis look twenty years younger in just five minutes as the video presentation on Age-Eraser.net claims.
But well respected doctors and women's beauty publications like Redbook and Marie Claire do say that there is a lot to like about facial massage, and that it can boost and promote anti-aging effects. You may want to begin with free facial massage techniques before deciding to purchase a $39 guide, but those who are curious and can afford this investment may want to see what this guide is about, as long as they understand the promises being made by the video presentation are unrealistic.
Competitors and Alternatives?
As mentioned above, there are free guides to anti-aging facial massage all over the internet for people who are interested in seeing what kinds of massages may help or benefit them.
If you have any experience with this company or their products, please leave your Age Eraser System reviews below.

'Sustainable Land Management is a knowledge based procedure that integrates, water, biodiversity and environmental management to meet rising food and fiber demands while sustaining livelihoods and the environment' (World Bank 2008)
The LUSIP-GEF Sustainable Land management Project is an initiative aimed at catalyzing rural development through the engine of sustainable agriculture to bring local, national and global environmental benefits. Land neighboring the LUSIP-GEF project area, on the south side of the Usuthu River, is undergoing major agricultural development. It is being transformed from impoverished subsistence rangeland and rain-fed arable cropping systems into an area of irrigated commercial cropping (LUSIP). The LUSIP- GEF SLM project will contribute to the LUSIP's goal of "Reduction of poverty and sustained improvement in the standard of living of the population of the project area through commercialization and intensification of agriculture".
The project will ensure that sustainable land management practices are promoted – restoring resilient, integration agro-ecosystems in the currently highly degraded Lowveld, which is suffering the adverse effects of climate change, loss of agro ecosystem and biodiversity functions, invasion of alien plant species and dramatic decline in agriculture production.

Other than accidentally hearing Another Love on the radio, I knew very little about singer-songwriter Tom Odell before seeing him live at The Institute a couple of weeks ago. My friend had a spare ticket so I tagged along and left two hours later completely converted.
When the BRIT-Award winning musician strode on stage he was greeted by a screaming crowd, yet with mysterious modesty he went straight to the piano and launched into Grow Old With Me without so much as a word.
It's clear that he's not into fame; it's the music he cares about. His furious passion in playing the piano is mesmerising and I found myself wishing I could play an instrument with the intensity he does. Due to Tom's onstage presence, only a simple set was required. Yet a magical atmosphere was created by the giant light bulbs positioned around the stage. They glowed dimly during the melancholy songs, whilst a spotlight was cost on Odell, and flashed randomly during his more energetic tracks.
Stand out tracks were those lonely, brooding ones he does so well, such as his first single Can't Pretend and my favourite, Sense, a touching song from his debut album Long Way Down. Odell has said his lyrics are inspired by his "inability to sustain a relationship with someone for longer than six months" and the lyrics to Sense are a real tear-jerker, such as when he poignantly asks "If I fell in love a thousand times, would it all make sense?"
Another highlight was his penultimate song- a surprise cover of Etta James's "I Just Want to Make Love to You". The crowd were all singing along and thumping their feet, whilst Odell's cheeky substitution of 'you' for 'all of you' had his female fans cheering.
Odell also seemed to get on very well with the band- they were often laughing together and the crescendo of music they created together for the finale was incredible; it seemed as though they had forgotten the audience entirely and were in a world of their own.
Seeing Tom Odell live made my first experience of his songs so much more tangible and moving; I was surrounded by people who his music meant so much to, whilst also seeing how much it meant to him. His lyrics are incredibly touching and I found myself desperate to download his songs so I could listen to the words again. Above all, Tom Odell is something very rare: a musician who is even better heard live.

ST. LOUIS — In a suburban school district that includes most of Ferguson and 10 other towns in northern St. Louis County, three of four students are black. Yet there have never been more than two black members on the seven-person school board at the same time. Does that mean the system of electing the board is racially biased?
In a lawsuit that went to trial in federal court here this week, the American Civil Liberties Union asserts that it is, raising questions relevant to elections in many other places that use the same sort of at-large voting process as the Ferguson-Florissant School District.
The suit argues that the district's system of using at-large voting — where people across the district choose among the same group of candidates — discriminates against minority voters. A fairer process, the A.C.L.U. says, would be to create seven subdistricts, with candidates running in the areas where they live. Some of those subdistricts would be so overwhelmingly black in population that more blacks would be elected, the group contends.
"Black residents of the district continue to suffer from a host of socioeconomic disparities, which hinders their ability to participate fully and equally in the political process," Julie Ebenstein, a lawyer for the A.C.L.U., said in opening remarks Monday. "Whether the African-American voting age population makes up 49 percent or 51 percent is functionally irrelevant."
The district asserts that black voters are better served by an at-large system because they represent about half of the area's voting-age population. The district also notes that at-large voting is mandated by state law.
"African-Americans presently possess an opportunity to elect candidates of their choice," Angela Gabel, a lawyer for the district, said in her opening statement before Judge Rodney W. Sippel of the federal Eastern District Court of Missouri on Monday.
The legality of at-large voting systems is being challenged in other cities, including Pasadena, Tex., and Yakima, Wash. The suits contend that at-large systems violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits voting practices or procedures that discriminate on various factors, including race.
Many challenges of at-large voting have come in places where whites are the clear majority. But in the Ferguson-Florissant district, the population is almost evenly divided, according to the most recent census data. Courts have not definitively ruled whether a violation of Section 2 is possible in places where blacks might not be in the minority, said Richard L. Hasen, a professor of law and political science at the University of California, Irvine.
The case "raises legal questions over whether, if it's true that African-Americans make up a majority of the relevant population, whether a Section 2 remedy is possible," he said.
Whether blacks outnumber whites in the district is in dispute. The A.C.L.U., using 2010 census data, contends blacks make up 48.19 percent of the voting-age population in the district, which is less than whites. The district, using 2013 American Community Survey data, asserts that blacks, at 48.94 percent, represent a slightly higher share of the voting-age population than whites.
Throughout the first half of the 20th century, municipalities sprouted across the suburbs north of St. Louis with the purpose of creating racially segregated communities, historians say. Berkeley, for instance, was incorporated in part so white residents could establish a school system separate from the district attended by the mostly black children in neighboring Kinloch, according to Colin Gordon, a University of Iowa historian who testified for the A.C.L.U. on Monday.
The courts ordered the Berkeley school district and others to desegregate in 1975, and the result was the creation of the Ferguson-Florissant district.
Like much of north St. Louis County, the Ferguson-Florissant district had a vast demographic shift in subsequent years. From 1990 to 2010, the white population in the district declined by nearly 60 percent and the black population increased by more than 81 percent, according to the school district's trial brief.
Despite the rise in the black population, some communities in north St. Louis County have remained under primarily white control, an issue that became prominent after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson by a white police officer.
Decades of past racist policies have hampered blacks' access to the ballot box, the A.C.L.U. has argued, and weakened their strength in political organizing.
The A.C.L.U. has asserted that the predominantly white school board has not worked aggressively enough to address concerns of black residents, including the achievement gap between white and black students and the disproportionate disciplining of black students. The group says that some of the board members have been insensitive to the problems of black students, blaming family structure for the achievement gap, for instance.
In another dispute, residents loudly objected three years ago when the board, then all white, suspended the district's first black superintendent, Art McCoy, without a detailed public explanation. Mr. McCoy later resigned.
Over the past 16 years, 24 black candidates have run for the Ferguson-Florissant school board in 12 elections, and only five, nearly 25 percent, have won seats, according to the A.C.L.U. During that time, 22 of 37 white candidates, about 60 percent, have won election to the school board.
But the school board argued that voters in the district had chosen black candidates in other elections such as the presidential and county executive races. They also point to the nearby Hazelwood school district, which is demographically similar to Ferguson-Florissant and also uses an at-large system. Four of the seven Hazelwood board members are black. The Ferguson-Florissant board has also hired a black superintendent, Joseph S. Davis, who started last year.
"The district does not dispute the racial history of the St. Louis region," its lawyers wrote in the trial brief. "However, a distant and indelible past cannot taint the present forever."
The Ferguson-Florissant board contends that the A.C.L.U.'s proposed districts would not help black representation. Of the seven subdistricts the A.C.L.U. has proposed, four of them would have a solidly black population. But the two current black members on the board would be lumped into the same district, a lawyer for the school board said.
Judy-Ferguson Shaw, who works with a high school in the district, said getting more blacks on the board, especially black men, was important for black students, especially in racially charged issues like discipline. Ms. Shaw, 65, said that changing the voting system was important to give more say to the residents of the southern part of the district, which is mostly black.
"They vote," she said of those residents. "But they can't outvote the north end of the district."

Experimental Physics and
With EPICS Base R184.108.40.206, we have experimented with string and waveform records and have noticed that messages are not always delivered to monitor processes when the messages are quickly written to the PV. I'll include some of the details of our tests below, but the central issue seems to be illustrated by the following snippet of code from db_post_single_event_private in dbEvent.c:
/* * if we have an event on the queue and we are * not saving the current value (because this is a * string or an array) then ignore duplicate * events (saving them without the current value * serves no purpose) */ if (!event->valque && event->npend>0u) { UNLOCKEVQUE(ev_que) return; }
I don't understand all of the ramifications of this code comment, but it certainly sounds like fast updates to string and array records are not all expected to be delivered. So, the question becomes: if we want updates to a string or waveform record (or something similar) to *always* be delivered to monitors, what are our options? We have casually used CA servers when first learning EPICS, but have not yet investigated whether they have this same feature. Are CA servers an option? Or are there established ways to select the delivery of all updates in a soft IOC?
The tests that we ran used a soft IOC created with 'makeBaseApp.pl -t ioc' and database records like the following:
record(stringout, "test1/sampleString") { field(DTYP, "Soft Channel") }
record(waveform,"test1/sampleWaveform") { field(DTYP,"Soft Channel") field(NELM,"32") field(FTVL,"UCHAR") }
To update the PV value at a reasonably high rate, we simply made a copy of caput.c and added a loop around the writing of the data as shown below (the modification of the first character in the sbuf/pbuf array allowed us to check for missing or duplicate records when observing the updates with a camonitor client):
for (idx = 0; idx < 100; idx++) {
sprintf(sbuf[0], "%d", idx);
result = ca_array_put (dbrType, count, pvs[0].chid, pbuf);
result = ca_pend_io(caTimeout);
if (result == ECA_TIMEOUT) {
fprintf(stderr, "Write operation timed out: Data was not written.\n");
return 1;
For the waveform record test, we started the soft IOC, ran 'camonitor test1/sampleWaveform', and then ran the modified caput several times with 'caput -a test1/sampleWaveform 5 2 4 6 8 10'. Some of the times that we ran caput, we saw all 100 messages arrive at the camonitor. Other times, only one or two of them did.
Thanks in advance for any help that folks can provide with this, Kurt Biery

(LAS VEGAS) — Multiple loaded high-capacity magazines were found in the suspected Las Vegas shooter's hotel room, according to multiple law enforcement sources.
Police found the guns and ammunition in the room being used by suspected shooter Stephen Paddock at Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino. Among the guns were high-powered rifles considered capable of penetrating police armor. There were also some handguns in the room. According to Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo, 16 guns were found inside the suspect's hotel room.
The additional ammunition indicates that the shooting, which left 59 people dead and injured 515, could have been worse, had police not intervened when they did. Police believe that Paddock took his own life.
A modified bump stock rifle was also found, which allows a gun to simulate rapid automatic gunfire. Law enforcement officials are still in the process of examining firearms to determine if they were capable of firing automatically.
One official said Paddock had a camera mounted in the room, apparently to record himself.
In a separate location searched by authorities, tannerite, an explosive used in target practice, was found, sources said.
Earlier, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said there were at least 10 rifles in the room but noted that the investigation was still underway.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives released a statement announcing that it is "currently conducting an urgent trace on firearms recovered from the scene in Las Vegas."
The shooting is the deadliest in modern U.S. history.
A gun shop owner in Mesquite, Nevada, confirmed to ABC News that he sold guns to Paddock, but he did not specify how many and whether they were the ones used in the shooting.
"We mourn for this tragedy and our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the lost and injured," said Christopher M. Sullivan, the general manager of Guns & Guitars, Inc.
"Mr. Paddock was a customer and purchased firearms from our store; however, all necessary background checks and procedures were followed, as required by local, state, and federal law. He never gave any indication or reason to believe he was unstable or unfit at any time. We are currently cooperating with the ongoing investigation by local and federal law enforcement in any way we can," Sullivan said.
Guns & Guitars, Inc., sells semi-automatic weapons but not fully automatic weapons.
John Cohen, a former Department of Homeland Security undersecretary who previously worked as a police officer, said that recordings of the shooting suggest that the shooter used an automatic weapon.
"Listening to the video, it sounds like the weapons were fully automatic," said Cohen, who is now an ABC News consultant.
He said that when a gun is automatic, that means "you pull the trigger once and rounds are fired in rapid succession."
"[The bullets] were coming out very quick, and you heard a large number of shots very quickly. That would be very difficult to do with anything other than an automatic weapon," Cohen said.
"It's not legal to purchase a fully automatic weapon, but it's not that difficult to convert legal semiautomatic weapons so that they are fully automatic," he said.

Have you ever noticed what happens to your skin when it does not have enough moisture? Dry, chapped skin begins to crack and peel. How do you solve this problem? Typically adding some moisture in the form of lotion is the answer.
Leather acts in the same way — it is guaranteed to get dry without proper moisture. Why is this? Because leather, at its most basic level, is skin from an animal. Since the animal is no longer contributing natural oils to the leather, the hide will eventually get dry. When that happens, you can expect to see it cracking, breaking and becoming brittle. Dry leather also loses some of its richness and color. If left without moisture, leather will eventually deteriorate to the point that it is no longer usable.
The Solution to This Problem: Moisture!
Leather moisturizers restore that moisture to the leather, much like lotion restores the moisture to your skin. This helps prevent the leather from cracking or splitting because it is too dry. In old leather that has some damage from dryness, a quality leather moisturizer can help restore the look of the leather.
Leather Honey Leather Conditioner Provides Needed Moisture to Dry Leather
Leather Honey Leather Conditioner is an all-natural product that will restore that lost moisture so you can enjoy beautiful, soft and pliable leather. The effective moisturizer is easy to apply and will help keep your leather beautiful for years of use.
Leather Honey Leather Conditioner is a completely natural product that does not contain harmful dyes or chemicals. It is safe to use on your leather products and gives you the right amount of conditioning. Simply rub a generous amount of Leather Honey Leather Conditioner onto your leather items, allow it to soak in and wipe off any excess. You will instantly restore the leather to its former look and condition.
Use Leather Honey Leather Conditioner any time you notice your leather starting to look dry and worn. If you have an older leather item, Leather Honey Leather Conditioner may be able to restore its moisture and repair the damage caused by dryness. Plan to condition your leather items on a regular basis to prevent them from getting dried out. Leather Honey Leather Conditioner makes it easy to do so without fear of damage from unnatural chemicals found in other leather moisturizers.

Coca Cola Bottlers Georgia has started building of the new plant in Autumn of 2018 on Mukhrani Valley. It will be spread on 18 000 square meters area and will include new HQ spread over 2 000 square meters.
Temur Chkonia says that the company has already spent around $22 million and the amount
"We are already installing new devices. If everything goes fine, we would have moved to the new HQ by the 15th of December" – says Temur Chkonia.
"Scale of production is enormous, so big it is hard to tell. We want to make something that, of course, will have analogue in the world, but will still be impressive. We have put together the best options. Additionally, water in Mukhrani has unique features and very clean. This is very important for production" - says Temur Chkonia.
Temur Chkonia says that new plant will require more employees and now they are looking for female employees as well, because he does not trust boys any more.
The plant will include rooms for visitors, where they can get to know how the company was created. It is planned to receive around 10 000 visitors a year.
Temur Chkonia says that they will produce water and natural juices in the same plant in the future, but this idea needs to be agreed with Coca Cola HQ first.

Sergio MARTINO (Italy), our guest of honour and filmmaker-in-focus of our Homage section, is the true renaissance man of Italian genre cinema, a jack of all trades and master of all genres. He began his filmmaking career under the tutelage of his brother, writer and producer Luciano Martino, and as second unit director on Mario Bava's The Whip and the Body (La frusta e il corpo, 1963). His directorial debut came in 1969 with the Mondo documentary Wages of Sin (Mille peccati… nessuna virtù). "A thousand sins and not a single virtue" says the film's original title. But as both fans and connoisseurs will attest, Sergio Martino has demonstrated many a virtue in a career spanning over four decades and boasting a filmography of remarkable scope: from the early Mondo shockumentaries and Spaghetti Westerns (A Man Called Blade, Mannaja, 1977), to cannibalistic adventures (Slave of the Cannibal God, La montagna del dio cannibale, 1978), post-apocalyptic action and science-fiction (2019: After the Fall of New York, 2019 – Dopo la caduta di New York, 1983; Hands of Steel, Vendetta dal futuro, 1986), beloved sex comedies (Cream Horn, 1981), political crime thrillers or poliziotteschi (The Violent Professionals, Milano trema: la polizia vuole giustizia, 1973), through to the supreme and most coveted of cult genres, the giallo. From the beginning of the golden period of the 1970s, Martino contributed some of the most prestigious and seminal examples to the treasure trove of Italian giallo film, with pictures such as The Case of the Scorpion's Tail (La coda dello scorpione, 1971), The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh (Lo strano vizio della signora Wardh, 1971), All the Colors of the Dark (Tutti i colori del buio, 1972), and Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key (Il tuo vizio è una stanza chiusa e solo io ne ho la chiave, 1972), mostly featuring the actress Edwige Fenech aka "La Fenech". Then came Torso (I corpi presentano tracce di violenza carnale, 1973), one of the most gleefully debauched films of the period, with its unbelievable premise and horrifically comedic murders constituting something of a prototype for the slasher film. This ultra-cult classic also represents the pièce de résistance of our homage to the maestro.
"This is the story of the work of a 'trash director emeritus', as I like to consider myself now, tongue in cheek, trying to balance the insults of the critics at the time of my films' release in the 70s and 80s, and the hosannas of the new generations who have been able to appreciate my films on DVD and re-evaluate them, all thanks to the esteem of Quentin Tarantino, Eli Roth, Jaume Balaguerò and other foreign authors and critics, bless them."
– Sergio Martino in his autobiography Mille peccati… nessuna virtù?
We regretfully inform the audience, press and general public that our Guest of Honour, director Sergio Martino will not be joining us at the festival due to health reasons. His daughter, filmmaker Federica Martino will join us in Ljubljana to relate her father's thoughts and talk to us about his films. We thank you for understanding and wish Mr. Martino a speedy recovery.

Obituary (UT): Douglas Junior Holmes '56
Posted on 04/09/2018
Douglas J. Holmes passed away after a brief illness with congestive heart failure and pulmonary fibrosis on March 23, 2018. He was born April 15, 1932 in Ogden, Utah, to Ione Bailey and Parley C. Holmes. He attended Washington Elementary, Washington Jr. High and graduated from Ogden High School in 1950. He received a debate scholarship to Weber Jr. College where he attended before receiving his 4-year degree from the University of Utah in 1955. He received an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy in 1952. He was also an active member of the Air Force ROTC, Beta Theta Pi Fraternity, and Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society.
He married Peggy Ann Slade on March 18, 1955 and later that year began his 24-year adventure as an officer in U.S. Air Force as a Second Lieutenant. His initial assignment was as a navigator of a KC-97 refueling tanker that serviced air-borne B-52s over the North Pole. After this initial 10-year period he was assigned to the intelligence branch of the U.S. Air Force at the Pentagon, where he finished his career as a highly decorated, full Colonel earning the Legion of Merit, two Bronze Stars, and the Meritorious Service Medal.
During his time in the Air Force he earned his Masters of International Relations degree at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. graduating in 1967. And, after retiring, earned his Law Degree from the University of Utah in 1983.
As important as his career was to him, his family was even more important. Peggy was the love of his life, as were his three children, Brad, Kathy and Scott. He was an avid reader and instilled in all the family members the importance of high achievement and excellence in education. He enjoyed working with Peggy in the interior design shop she owned (Panache Interiors and Antiques) and traveling the world with her and his family. Doug was proud of his pioneer heritage and was impressed by their courage, fortitude and perseverance.
Doug believed in being an active community member and spent many hours trying to improve the lives of others through his work as a State Legislator, member of the Board of Trustees Ogden/Weber Applied Technology College, Weber State College Board of Trustees, Ogden Chamber of Commerce, Board of Directors of the Aerospace Heritage Foundation of Utah at Hill Air Force Base, Board Member Ogden Regional Medical Center, Board of Directors Ogden Golf and Country Club, and he was also an active member of many other civic organizations in Ogden.
Although he has passed from this life, he will never leave the hearts and minds of his family.
He has joined his beloved wife Peggy, as well as his mother and father and brothers and sisters, Wayne, Dean, Melba, Wanda, Lola, Jay, Lynne, Udel, Dennis and great grand-daughter Quincie Higginson.
He is survived by his three children, Brad (Cathy) Holmes, Kathryn Holmes, Scott (Lisa) Holmes, he is also survived by seven grandchildren, Emily (Phil) Stricker, Spencer (Natalie) Holmes, Sarah Snedaker, Robbie Pett, Michael Pett, Tausha (Joshua) Higginson, Tristan Tucker, and great-grandchildren Crosby Stricker and Abigail and Scarlett Higginson, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
An informal graveside service will be held on Saturday, March 31, 2018 at 11:30 am in the Ogden City Cemetery where military honors will be accorded (enter the Cemetery from the entrance opposite Jefferson Avenue and go North to the fence and turn left). In case of inclement weather, service will be held at Lindquist's Ogden Mortuary,
3408 Washington Boulevard
. Friends may greet the family on Friday, March 30th from 6 to 8 pm at Lindquist's Ogden Mortuary.
Condolences may be shared at:
Published in Salt Lake Tribune from Mar. 27 to Mar. 29, 2018

TO be honest, I don't think winning the league title has quite sunk in yet.
That is probably because we've still got so much to do – we've got the play-offs to come and more trophies to try and win.
As soon as the season ends, it will probably hit home. It's an amazing feeling already and it's been a week of smiles so far.
It was odd to find out we'd won the league during the second interval of our game because we were obviously hyped up. We'd taken a nice lead and we were prepared to go and win the game to win the league.
We were having a fantastic game in the first two periods anyway, and when we found out we'd won the league because Peterborough Phantoms had dropped the points, it was a hell of a feeling in the dressing room.
But at the same time, we knew we had to finish our game and we wanted to finish strong and win the game anyway. Thankfully, we were able to properly celebrate after the final buzzer.
We had a good time after the game and celebrated, but we are still professionals and we knew we had a game the next day.
The final celebrations are still on hold and they'll be done after the play-offs, that's when we can celebrate properly.
Before that happens, though, we have the play-offs to try and win.
We've set the tone by winning the league and when we play like we can, we can beat anyone – we all completely believe in each other.
It's about keeping that consistency going now. That's why we felt it was so important to win both games last weekend – it helps keep the motivation high.

Glendale Falcons – 4
Kickapoo Chiefs – 2
The Falcon's earned their second win of the season over the Chiefs this evening on the strength of a pair of goals in stoppage time at the end of the first half. Both goals were opportunistic, with fortunate bounces in the run of play that were difficult reminders of the challenges the Chiefs have faced this season. The first, the ultimate game-winner, was scored by Falcon's sophomore Lindsey Sprouse. An attempted clearance was deflected and "Sprousie" picked up the loose ball and went into the box unmarked before burying her shot. Less than a minute later, season assist leader Jeni Frewin found space on the left side and lifted her shot over the on-rushing keeper to the far post for a 2-0 lead.
The Chiefs imposed themselves on the visitors in the second half, only to see senior Rachel Duckworth deny them in the 49th minute when she some how found the length necessary to push the Chief's shot wide. A minute later freshman McKenna Adams found the crossbar for the second time in the game before setting up senior Katy McLain for a goal in the 51st. Adam's was a challenge for the Falcon's all evening and on this occasion as she drew a pair of defenders on her run down the right side, she slid a square ball into the path of McLain's parallel run down the left. Chiefs within one.
The rivalry always brings the best out in these ladies however and the Falcon's attacked with renewed energy. Frewin saw her shot in the 57th go off the right upright with goalkeeper Shannon Johnson covering the rebound in the face of a hard challenge. A corner kick in the 64th was somehow sent over the crossbar, Johnson covered another Sprouse breakaway, but in the 68th senior Lorin Opfer buried a corner kick from Emilee Williams to increase the margin yet again.
The Chiefs got a penalty kick goal by senior Chealsey Russell in the 73rd minute after a push in the box. It required two attempts as senior Rachel Duckworth guessed correctly and blocked the initial shot but Russell didn't miss the rebound opportunity. The final margin came late on yet another corner kick, this time Frewin running onto Emily Cline's driven ball.
The Chief's finish the regular season 10-10, losing their last two games but showing a renewed attack with the return of Russell, Blotter and Anderson from injury. Their District 12 opponents should be forewarned. The Falcon's finish 17-5, 8-1 in the Ozark Conference, and have a group of seniors who remember well both the joy of District victory as sophomores and the disappointment of last years failure in the semifinals. Someone needs to buy some fireworks for the games in Lebanon next week.

Wadworth's gluten free beer, 6X Gold, has been shortlisted in the Down the Pub and the Bar category in this year's FreeFrom Food Awards.
The beer has gone from strength to strength since its launch in 2016. It has since been added to Wadworth's core range, due to its popularity with gluten-free drinkers, and was awarded bronze in the International Beer Challenge's speciality beer category last year.
The 4.5% ABV hoppy and refreshing ale does not compromise on flavour, with spicy notes on the palate and a zesty aroma. It is brewed with 100% English hops — Admiral, Pilgrim, Pilot and English Cascade.
Wadworth chief executive, Chris Welham, said: "We are hugely proud of this recognition from FreeFrom Food Awards. We are thrilled with this beer — it has grown a solid fan base since its launch and we're looking forward to seeing its continued success."
The winners of the awards will be announced on April 17 at the Royal College of Physicians, in London. 6X Gold will face tough competition, including Estrella's gluten-free beer, Daura, and Magic Rock Brewing's Fantasma IPA can.

If the thought of eating another honey-baked ham makes you cringe, try this duck recipe. Though duck can be fattening, using spices such as curry, red pepper, and cilantro, instead of oil, keeps you within your dietary guidelines. The spicy duck balances the tart dried cranberries, which lower bad cholesterol, and gives the couscous a needed kick.
How to Make It
Prepare grill; set to medium heat.
Combine curry, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon curry powder mixture for cranberry mixture. Rub meat side of breast with remaining curry powder mixture.
Place duck on grill rack, skin sides up. Cook 8 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness; remove from heat, and let stand 5 minutes.
Bring cranberries and broth to a boil in a medium saucepan; gradually stir in reserved curry powder mixture and couscous. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Spoon couscous mixture onto plates.
Carefully remove skin from all breasts; cut each breast in half. Then cut each breast half into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange them on top of couscous mixture. Serve with chutney; sprinkle with cilantro.

I love southern cooking. I was lucky enough to live in South Carolina for half a year, and got to experience A LOT (about 10lbs worth) of amazing food. The seafood is just amazing, don't even get me started on crab legs and grouper fingers, we will be here all day.
The Complete Southern Cookbook by Tammy Algood is an absolute godsend. As I mentioned a few months ago, I have been self-teaching myself how to cook, and these "down-home" recipes are a great asset to my collection. This cookbook has every southern delicacy you could possibly think of, and the format is great. It is separated into alphabetical sections based on the main ingredient, for example: bacon, beans, beef, beets, etc. I started off small, and cannot wait to try all of the recipes that have caught my eye. To prove to you that the best things in life are in fact free, I will type out the recipe for the most delicious sausage gravy you have ever tasted in your life.
¼ pound ground pork sausage, hot or mild
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 ¼ cups milk
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring until it crumbles. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low and reserve 1 tablespoon of the drippings in the skillet. Add the butter, stirring until it melts. Add the flour, stirring until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
Gradually add the milk and increase the heat to medium. Stir constantly until thick and bubbly, about 4 minutes. Add the reserved sausage, salt and pepper. Cook 2 minutes more, stirring constantly. Serve warm, makes three cups.
You're welcome.
