_______ is on the rise. That's the general sentiment of the urbanites who flock there each year. They want the all the benefits of a big city without the costly rents and rat race. There's also something to be said about living in a city where the creative energy is strong. ______ _____, an art dealer who honed her chops in ___ ____ at galleries like ______ ______ and what is now __________ ____________, recently made the move to the _______ area to open _____ Projects, a 4,600-square-foot contemporary art gallery located in the _______ _______ building on ___ ________ ______ in __________, ________, just a 25-minute drive from _______. _____ Projects opened with the group show developed with artist _____ ______ titled __________ ____— on view through May 26 — which explores the themes of surveillance, labor, privacy, oversharing on social media, the unobtainable balance between work and life and mistaken identity. The exhibition features works by ____ ___, ____ ______, _____ _______, ____ ______, ________ ________, _____ ______, _____ ______, and ___ _______. I quizzed ______ on decamping ___ ____ for ________, opening _____ Projects and the premise of the inaugural show.
_______! I was drawn to the idea of coming to a city that's experiencing a surge. I feel like I'm in the most exciting part of _______ right now. ___ ____ has become a very rarified place, especially in the art world. And I love it there, but you can get goosebumps here in a way that you can't in ___ ____. I wanted to be on the ground floor of the culture. And my family is here.
__________. ________ seems like an odd place to start a gallery. Why did you decide to open your space there instead of _______?
_____ Projects is not the first. I like to think we're following in the footsteps of a rich tradition in the arts. _______ _______ was a pioneering gallerist based in __________ for 40 years, paving the way for contemporary galleries like ours.
Well first off, ________ has a rich collecting community, especially ______ ______ (__________, __________ _____). These are people that travel the world to discover fine art and design. Collectors follow the art, wherever it is. Culture will always function as a cultural oasis—look at the community that rose around Marfa, or Miami Basel. You find that if you have work that you truly love, that speaks to you, that stands out to you, it's not difficult to sell. That's the barrier to selling art: your total belief in the work. I could sell these artists from a payphone on the side of the highway. Although I'd prefer not to.
How did you find the space? Why did you choose that space?
We wanted to be in the heart of the city! I was looking for something particular: big, and with the right light. The space you choose for your gallery can elevate the work. I wanted to find a raw space that I could design in the way that I saw fit. The _______ ________ building is a landmark, and I feel it's special that we can be here, and tailor the space to our needs.
Explain the whole concept of __________ ____.
Working with artists directly is a big part of who I am as a person. I like that you can take a concept to an artist, and watch them rise to the challenge. Ideas are their medium, in so many ways. __________ ____evolved out of some of the thematic interests you see on the reality TV show, that in an art context are incredibly potent things to think about: surveillance, labor, privacy, oversharing on social media, the unobtainable balance between work and life, and mistaken identity. In fact one artist in the exhibition _____ ______ is frequently mistaken for the bass player from the stoner bands _____ and ___ ________.
What is that whole story with the fake review lines?
The press release is a gag. Another case of mistaken identity. I think the show deals with its heady themes in a way that's also humorous. That's what art can do, give a dialogue a new context.
How did you select the artists?
The ethos behind the gallery is creating opportunities for _______ artists to show and sell their work and be put in context with established and emerging artists from hubs like ___ ____. Of course many of the artists I'm bringing with me are old friends from ___ ____, from when I showed them, or worked with them at __________. To be frank, I picked the artists with the work that I love. The work always comes first.
What are some of the exhibition's highlights?
Well, I'm particularly excited to be featuring ________ _______. He's from here. The gallery showed him at the ______ Art Fair, our first art fair, and we sold out the booth in its entirety. _____ ______'s also _______-based, and has some incredible new roller paintings for the show.

Because this is the third Sunday of March, it's time for the first ever "Please don't" post, in which I show you some shoes and outfits that should be banned and if found, burned.
Today, I have three bad examples for you and I hope we can agree, that all the three were terrible choices.
In the first row, you find the British Queen of the Tits celebrity, Katie Price, also known as Jordan. As you can see, she's taking her kid to kindergarten/school/whatever. (Note: that fat little human being is really her kid, and she has been partying all the time during her pregnancy…) Let's look at the lady herself: I would be surprised if only even 1% of the British mothers would look like her:) She's in a good shape, BUT…look at those boots! Without spending any more words, I suggest you don't wear boots like this in public unless your job is dancing around a pole.
Next to Jordan, I've put a picture of one of my favourite girls, Emmy Rossum. This means, something is wrong. Yes, guess what, it's her boots. As much as I like her, I cannot forgive her choosing these ugly boots. What is wrong with her? If you're a farmer and you have to work on a rainy day, okay, go for it, but if you attend a film festival, wearing a dress, well, I'd suggest you think of something different. Please Emmy, don't dress a like a monster ever again!
The second row is Shauna Sand's own row. I could have put there even more shocking pictures, but I suppose you see my point. She's been in Playboy, she's 37 (and had twice as many operations as you and me combined), but that's not enough reason to dress like a total slut. The same goes for her as for Katie: forget about these platforms if you're not a stripper.
I have got a lot of more shocking examples, but I thought it would not be fair if I would just smash all of them into your faces without any serious warnings. I am sorry for showing you these pictures, but I know I've done the right thing to protect our society:)
I hope you'll still visit The High Heel Times again after you've calmed down.

The KeyBank allows any user with access to open the cabinet the ability to remove any key without restriction however they are assigned any key they remove and it generates an alarm so you are notified they took the key.
They KeyWatcher or KeyBank can send a text or email alert if keys aren't returned when they should be. This is a feature you will learn to love.
KeyWatcher key control systems are more expensive per key controlled and there are only 16 keys per module versus 20 per module with a KeyBank (each cabinet can hold 6 modules).
Trusted Since 1996
We're very proud of our thick steel cabinets which are completely self-contained and include an internal uninterruptable battery backup which can't be unplugged. This means your system can operate up to 48 hours without power. Other systems can be easily unplugged when the drawer or door is open which may result in improper reporting of who took the key. Our self-contained power and network connections are a critical feature if you want accurate and timely reporting.
We have two types of systems; the KeyWatcher which locks each individual key into the slots in the cabinet and the KeyBank which allows any authorized user to remove keys from any slot. They both have locking doors and only authorized users can open the cabinet.
The KeyWatcher mechanically locks each individual key into the cabinet and specific keys can be restricted to certain users and can't be removed. When an authorized user removes a key they are automatically assigned that key until they return it with a KeyBank or KeyWatcher.
The Morse Watchman electronic key control system lets you know who took the key, when they took the key, how long they had the key and when they returned the key. You can also stop certain users from taking specific keys you don't want them to have.
With a Morse Watchman electronic key control system you can control as many keys as you need because of the modular design. All you have to do is add cabinets or modules inside each cabinet. Our system can be stand alone or added to your network. That means you can access your key control system from anywhere inside your network or from any of your PC's. Reports can be printed on your network printers.
You'll always have a complete audit trail of every key that was used and anyone who used them. If you need to know who had the key last Tuesday between the hours of 1:00 am and 3:00 am, you'll have that information at your fingertips.

Studies of the Di/tripeptide Transporter in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: The N-terminal Cytoplasmic Domain of Ptr2p is Involved in Post-Translational Regulation

Throughout nature cells use peptides as a source of nutrition. For microbes, an ability to utilize peptides is especially important in nitrogen-poor environments, as peptides can be catabolized for their use as a nitrogen source. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae imports di/tripeptides from the environment using the peptide transporter Ptr2p. Cellular levels of Ptr2p are highest under poor-nitrogen conditions. Here we report that the addition of a rich nitrogen source to the growth medium results in a down-regulation of Ptr2p, wherein plasma membrane Ptr2p is ubiquitinated, endocytosed, and delivered to the vacuole for destruction. We report evidence that the N-terminal portion of Ptr2p that is cytoplasmic is involved in mediating this effect. Mutations to known phosphorylation sites (Y37, S39, and S45) and suspected ubiquitination sites (K27 and K34) on Ptr2p's Nterminal region greatly impair both the normal turnover of Ptr2p and its down-regulation in response to a rich nitrogen source. The data presented support the notion that Ptr2p turnover from the cytoplasmic membrane requires phosphorylation and ubiquitination of a discrete N-terminal cytoplasmic domain.

Private Jet Charters > United States > Delaware
"Hi…. I'm in Delaware." ~ Wayne Campbell
Imagine chartering a private plane and being magically whisked away to Wilmington, the most populated city in Delaware. The first Swedish settlement on the continent, the city was founded on Fort Christina where the Brandywine and Christina Rivers converge before flowing into the Delaware River.
The city serves as the seat of New Castle County, and it's one of the main cities in the Delaware Valley metropolitan area, which includes Philadelphia, PA and Camden, NJ, and carries a combined population of more than 7 million residents.
Although Wilmington doesn't offer much in the way of luxury and excitement, it's the most accessible city in the state, and its business-friendly environment has contributed to strong economic growth and a thriving private jet community.
As a result, the Riverfront and downtown areas handle nearly 700,000 passengers annually through Joseph R. Biden Jr. Railroad Station, named after the former Senator and U.S. Vice President who was a strong railway advocate and commuted along the line to/from Washington D.C.
One of the Most Business-Friendly Cities in the U.S.
Despite its relatively small city population and unfavorable crime rates in its metro area, Wilmington is one of the nation's most important destinations for corporate aviation, mainly due to the city's business laws and charters, with business jets and executive charter flights frequently flying to/from New Castle Airport.
In fact, Wilmington has one of the highest private jet ownership per capita ratios in the nation. Many of these private jets have owners elsewhere, and own the plane via trust. These trusts are often based in Wilmington. For similar reasons, Douglas Isle of Man has another one of the highest private jet ownership per capita ratios.
Since favorable regulations were enacted in 1981, Wilmington has become the national financial center of the credit card industry—the Financial Center Development Act of 1981 eliminated cap banks may legally charge interest rates, leading to major credit card providers to set-up headquarters here, including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Barclays Bank.
In addition to the credit card industry, there are many other notable HQ's located around the city: Dutch bank ING, HSBC have U.S. operations located here; Barclays and Capital One have prominent offices overlooking the Christina River; Wilmington Trust is headquartered at Rodney Square.
Other notable offices include insurance companies such as American Life Insurance Company, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Delaware, and retail banking giants like PNC Bank, Wachovia, JPMorgan Chase, HSBC, Citizens Bank, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, and Artisans' Bank.
Along with all the financial entities come a variety of legal services. Worth noting is Delaware has among the most strict rules in the nation regarding out-of-state legal practice, not offering reciprocity to lawyers and attorneys who passed the bar in another state.
Since Delaware is the official state of incorporation for so many American companies, the city's U.S. Bankruptcy Court is regularly one of the busiest federal bankruptcy courts out of a total of 94 spread across the United States.
Despite all of this, the city is home to only one Fortune 500 company, E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company. Still, the city is a corporate utopia, home to over 50% of the nation's publicly traded companies, and more than 60% of Fortune 500 companies. Choose your preferred aircraft model from the list below, and call us to arrange your business jet rental to New Castle Airport in Wilmington, DE.

Now you can run Ubuntu Linux on a NOOK Tablet (sort of)
- Information
- 2011-Dec-21
The Barnes & Noble NOOK Tablet has a locked bootloader, which has prevented hackers from figuring out how to replace the version of Android that comes on the tablet with custom software such as CyanogenMod. But that doesn't mean it's impossible to run an alternate operating system on the NOOK Tablet.

Creating a Fedora ARM distribution part 2: Bootstrapping
- Information
- 2011-Dec-18
Like most distributions, Fedora uses binary software packages (RPMs in this case) to manage installed software. These packages are built using complex sets of build dependencies (other software packages), some of which are not explicit dependencies but rather implied through their fixed presence in the standard "buildroots" (chroot environments containing a basic set of packages) used in the Fedora build infrastructure.
Creating a Fedora ARM distribution part 1: History
- Information
- 2011-Dec-18
The Fedora distribution is often associated with laptops and desktops using x86 processors. These systems are cheap, powerful, and readily available to developers, and so it would naturally follow that they would be well supported. But Fedora has long supported systems based upon architectures other than the venerable x86.

Porting Linux made easy with DS-5
- Information
- 2011-Dec-04
Here at ARM, a colleague recently wanted to port Linux to a prototype of a new high-performance Cortex-A9 based platform. To develop and debug this port, he needed to be able to set breakpoints, view registers, view memory, single-step at source level, and so on, in fact all the normal facilities provided by a debugger, but he wanted to do these both before the MMU is enabled (with a physical memory map), and after the MMU is enabled (with a virtual memory map).

Bourjois Paris Effet Smokey Eye liner 79 Sparkling Granite : Review, Swatch, EOTD
By Tarry
Hey my lovelies....
Sorry for being MIA for such a long time. So much happening on both work and home fronts... Phew! Have a wedding to attend this weekend and it's so hectic preparing.... I already have the first giveaway planned... But piromise... once back, You'll see me a lot more. Also, we have some new members on board PEL who would be joining it :) Btw, am making small changes from this post onwards...
Do tell me if you liked them :)
I am a eye pencil and coloured liners fan. They are not just convenient for everyday use, but also are a great thing to look good within minutes without much effort. And Bourjois is one of my favorite brands when it comes to eye pencils. They offer such a huge range from waterproof to soft, smooth lining kohls. Off late, this brand has become my real favourite.
So here ladies and gentlemen, I'm reviewing the Bourjois Paris Effet Smokey Eye liner 79 Sparkling Granite, my everyday wear smokey eye pencil for that smouldering look.
Price : Rs 475 for 0.89 gms.
What the company says about the Product :
A smoky look available in 5 deep and intense shades achievable in 2 simple steps: 1) Outline the eye with the pencil ... 2) Smudge with the brush
Its soft, easy-to-blend tip glides along the lashline for an intense outline in one stroke. Its ultra soft brush made of natural bristles perfectly smudges the formula. The result: a subtle but incredibly sexy smoky look in just 2 steps!
And it's good for my eyes: - High tolerance formula
- Tested on sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers
- Enriched with natural waxes and vitamins E & C*.
*Vitamin derivatives.
The packaging :
The eye liner is in the form of a wooden pencil, which is colour coded with the shade and firm plastic cap on one side, and a soft smudging brush at the other end. I love the design which is so innovative :-)
and the brush is fixed well...
The bristles of the brush are very soft, and do not hurt the eyes at all. It smudges the pencil kohl well and I at times use it for other kohls as well. A good design I must say..
The pencil is good wooden one which sharpens easily with no problems at all. The entire pencil is good to be stacked in your purse as one simple tool.
The colour :
The shade is aptly called Sparkling granite. It is slight powdery in texture which makes it ideal for smudging and blending. The colour is a lovely grey with shimmer that looks awesome when blended without looking OTT... :-)
The colour can be used both on waterline as well as the lid, as it does not tug or pull and goes deep in just one swipe.
The staying power on the waterline is about 5-6 hours after which it fades off. On the lids, it stays for around 6.5 hours after being blended, but then, smudges a bit :> But nothing which looks bad or gives you racoon eyes.. The color is great for everyday wear to office and parties as well.. and would work on almost everyone. However, my dark skinned lovelies may have to go for darker shades.
The Good, the Bad & the Ugly... :
The GOOD :-)
- Awesome packaging, the smudger brush is good for the purpose.
- Soft, smooth texture.
- Powdery, ensuring that it blends and smokes out easily.
- Good pigmentation.
- Did not irritate eyes.
- Safe for contact lens wearers.
- Great for everyday wear, enabling in creating soft smokey looks
The BAD :-(
- Doesn't stay much on waterline or lower lash line.
- Can smudge.
- Not waterproof.
The UGLY :P
- Thankfully, nothing ugly about this one...
And here is the swatch. First is swiped once, and the second is blended and smoked out.
|The eye pencil just swiped once.
And now, blended and smoked.
And here comes the EOTD. Please excuse my bushy eyebrows, my parlour girl wasn't well and can't take risk with new people. :-(
|Just swiped, not blended.
|Swiped and blended, only till the crease.
PEL Verdict :
If you love smokey eyes and want to wear them everyday, Bourjois Effet Smokey liners are a MUST-HAVE for you. These have a soft,powdery texture, are well pigmented and can be easily smudged to create smokey eye looks. The staying power isn't that great, but still, they are worth the penny. And adding eye shadows to set them can make them even more beautiful. I specially love them for their packaging.
Have you tried the Bourjois Paris Effet Smokey Eye liner pencils? Which is your favourite shade? Do share you views and please leave in comments because it really encourages me and makes me superhappy :-D

A 19-year-old man got into a scuffle at his home with another resident there after an argument about his employment and whether or not he could use a vehicle belonging to someone else in the house to work as an Uber driver, Darien police said.
The scuffle resulted in the man's arrest on a charge of disorderly conduct, police said. Darien police described what happened with this account, including accusations not proven in court (the description of what happened before police arrived is from the person with whom the teen was in the dispute):
The argument started Wednesday, Aug. 30, became violent by the time police were called at 12:12 p.m.
The victim told police that she forbid the teenager from using one of her vehicles for the job. At one point during the argument, the teen pushed the victim in an attempt to get the vehicle's keys. He also destroyed her key fob.
At another point, he picked up a golf club and held it in a menacing way. She told him she was going to call police, and he pushed her a second time, she said.
The teenager was issued a misdemeanor summons charging him with disorderly conduct and was scheduled to appear in state Superior Court in Stamford the next day. His next court date is Oct. 17.

We just wanted you to know how great the December issue was. They are all interesting and informative, but this one topped the list. Thank you for all you do.
Reta Smith Kansas City
The Missouri Conservationist has been a wonderful reconnect for me. I left for the West immediately after my 1967 Poplar Bluff High School graduation. Last year, my family sent me a subscription. The combination of great photography, coupled with interesting and educational stories and information, takes me back to my childhood days fishing and swimming around Black River and Lake Wappapello. The thought of elk wandering near my southeast Missouri hometown is terrific. I plan to be back in the area next year and hope to spot them. Keep up the good work.
Mike Laughlin Grass Valley CA
I want you to know that I'm totally a city girl; concrete is my natural habitat. But I picked up the Missouri Conservationist in the doctor's waiting room, and by the end of the first article, I was hooked. Well-written, interesting features, beautiful photography, informative illustrations — I really liked it, and I'm watching for the next issue. Thanks for a great publication.
Martha Darling Bridgeton
Just finished reading the January issue. My grown daughter, home from Boston over the holidays, and I were thrilled when we came upon seven bald eagles in a field as we drove into St. Louis from Marthasville. Three were on the ground paying close attention to what appeared to be a deer carcass and the other four were in surrounding trees. We were awestruck at their sheer size and to see so many, so close. The following day we saw three again in the same place. And amazingly, two days later, we came upon the same scene, but with only one eagle sharing his meal with two turkey vultures.

In 2017, I started rearing monarchs. I reared 57 with 200 milkweed plants. In 2018, along with the same 200 milkweed plants, we sowed 250,000 wildflower seeds in an 800-square foot garden. That year, I reared 323 monarchs. I tagged 197 for their migration to Mexico. Milkweed plants are not enough to keep the monarchs close. You need wildflowers. This year we plan to double our wildflower garden and add to our milkweed plant population.
Dick Thorsen Bevier
We have subscribed to the Missouri Conservationist for years and have had contact with the department with wildlife questions or statements. We love everything wildlife. We have raised monarchs to offset their decline, fed various bird species, and our little country acre has been host to lots of wildlife. I enjoy every one of your Up Front articles. The life experiences you share are very interesting and heartwarming. Keep up the good work and thank you for what you do for Missouri conservation.
Carlene Mease via email
My dad, who is 90, and I read the Missouri Conservationist from cover to cover together. And discuss everything in it. I'm glad the Missouri Conservationist is still available in hard format as he would not like reading the articles off a computer screen.
Nancy Confer Fenton
As a farmland owner and conservationist, I want to heap praise on your photographers Noppadol Paothong and David Stonner. Their photographs are truly beautiful and professionally done. What talent! Thank you for publishing this fine, informative magazine for our great state.

City or countryside, Missouri's wild animals are your neighbors, and finding a young animal alone doesn't mean it needs help. In spring and early summer, deer and other wild animals are sometimes left alone for long periods while their parents look for food. If you see young wildlife in the outdoors, don't assume it is abandoned or hurt.
If you believe an animal is in distress, notify the closest Missouri Department of Conservation office. MissouriConservation.gov

- Includes multiple inputs
- The 20,000:1 contrast ratio and advanced technologies improve clarity.
- Does not have a USB-C or USB-B connection for smartphones or tablets
- Does not have the brightest bulb, requiring less light in the room
Which Projector Should You Choose?
Now that you have browsed the best projectors under $500, you should think about the features you need. Some of the main considerations include:
- Throw distance
- Resolution
- Contrast
- Brightness
- Bulb Life
- Compatibility
The throw distance and resolution determine how big you can project your video without sacrificing clarity.
The native resolution is the size that the projector uses when processing images. If you exceed the native resolution, you may notice a reduction in the sharpness of the picture. To get the clearest images, look for a projector with a native resolution that comes close to the source resolution.
For example, several of these options have a native resolution of 720p or 1080p. Anything lower would limit the quality of HD video through the projector.
The contrast and brightness impact the overall quality of the projection in different environments. With a higher contrast ratio, the dark colors appear darker
and the light colors appear lighter. The result is a sharper image.
Bulb life matters most when choosing a projector with a standard bulb. While LED
bulbs may offer 30,000 hours of use or more, most standard bulbs only last for about 5000 to 10,000 hours.
The final feature to consider is compatibility. If you plan on using the projector for presentations, ensure that it supports your device and has the brightness needed for displaying graphs and slideshows.

Hi everyone! It's my turn to share with you a BAP taht i made with the November ScrapThat! Kit. Now, I took a lot of pictures along the way so bear with me. I didn't want you to miss anything! :)
So, let's get started!
Step 1. Distress your pattern paper with the Tim Holtz distressing tool. Tear random areas around the page and crumble the corners with your fingers.
Step 2. Use the Prima ink and ink the edges to give it a worn look.
Step 3. Trim a 12"x1.5" strip of coordinating paper, distress the edges with the tool and cut to size to fit under the torn areas from the background paper. Adhere the strips of papers to the back of the background paper, making sure that the distressed edges alight correctly.
Step 4. Adhere your pattern paper unto a black cardstock and machine stitch the edges.
Step 5. Using Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Scallop 3 Dot, punch a 8.5" square. Cut out the center part and discard.
Step 6. Fuzzy cut the yellow pattern paper to make scallops and trim a 0.75" paper of the back side to layer.
Step 7. Add your black and white photo over the center over the layered strips of paper.
Step 9. Adhere the black frame but only add adhesive in the corners and one random spot in each side so that the frame looks a little raised. This will give it some dimension.
Step 10. Fuzzy cut some flowers and layer them to give them dimension. It's ok if some have straight edges. You will tuck these in under the picture.
Step 11. Add the fuzzy cut flowers around the photo as shown. Tuck in a Prima wooden door on the left side of the picture and under the flowers.
Step 12. Hand make some flowers using the red cardstock that comes in the kit and the white flowers.
Step 13. Fill in the cluster by adding the handmade flowers, large red flower included in the kit and the leaves from the EAO. I then added some fuzzy cut dragonflies and a title above the picture.
Here's my finished layout which is based on the November Sketch (Today is the last day to ENTER):
Thanks for stopping by! :)

Asset Based LTCi
The Perfect Savings Plan
Asset Based long-term care plans have been around since the late 1980's but became the fasted growing type of policy after passage of the Pension Protection Act. Asset Based plans allow a person to deposit money into a long-term care plan that will provide them future tax-free long-term care benefits. For every dollar you put into your plan, you will get a multiple of dollars back (up to unlimited) tax-free should you need long-term care. If you never need care or choose to cancel your plan, you can get your initial deposit back, plus interest in many cases. Some plans even offer additional benefits such as tax-free death benefits should you die before using or surrendering your plan.
Assets based plans work like the ultimate savings account. The money is guaranteed to grow at a set rate, the clients have access to this money if needed, and if they need long-term care, they will get a multiple of the initial deposit back tax-free. When properly designed, these plans will cost the client nothing and can provide an unlimited amount of long-term care benefits.
Ways you can fund an Asset Based Plan:
|Home Equity
(Health Savings Account)
Cash Value
Life Insurance
Take a look at some examples:
Asset Based
Funded with: Savings
Husband 74 and Wife 72, make a single deposit of $270,788 into their plan and pay a guaranteed level annual payment of $2,647 for a continuation of benefits rider. This provides each of them a monthly benefit of $8,000 for long term care. This policy will last a minimum of 50 months if both are on claim and drawing out the maximum benefit of $16,000 per month. They may cancel the plan at anytime for the cash surrender value and there is a second to die death benefit of $400,000 that will be paid to their estate if they never use the plan for long-term care.
Note: Here is a great example of an alternative to self insuring. Although these clients are well into their 70's, this plan provides great protection should they need care. This design was chosen for the flexibility this plan provides. The plan is made up of two parts. Part 1: The initial deposit purchased them $400,000 of benefit that is guaranteed to come back to them either as long-term care, death benefit or the cash surrender value. Part 2: The continuation of benefits is a second pool of money that can be used if part one is exhausted for care and is available for a guaranteed level payment of $2,647 per year. This premium will stop once client is on claim. Part 2 can be cancelled at anytime without affecting part one. This gives the clients maximum protection if they need it early on but also allows them flexibility in case one of them passes away and they don't need the full amount of coverage. The death benefit and cash value growth are guaranteed.
Asset Based
Funded with: 401K and Income/Cash
Husband 65 and Wife 62, make a single deposit of $210,000 using retirement funds and pay a guaranteed level premium of $1,292 per year for a continuation of benefits rider. This provides them with a joint policy that can be accessed up to $8,163 per person per month with a total coverage of$816,300 for long-term care. The initial deposit was drawn out of a 401k retirement account and will be taxed over equal installments for 20-years.
Note: This plan used qualified funds meaning taxes have not yet been paid on them. The advantage of this plan is they get the immediate long-term care and death benefit that comes from the plan on day one. However, they will be taxed on their withdrawal from the retirement account over 20 years. The funds came from the husband's account but will create a joint policy so both are covered. This will also count as required minimum distribution when he reaches age 70 ½ meaning he will be forced to withdraw less from his retirement account to meet the RMD requirements. This plan offers many advantages and uses provisions in the Pension Protection Act to provide additional tax advantages.
Asset Based
Funded with: Existing Annuity (1035 Exchange)
Male 84 makes a single deposit of $100,000 into his plan, this provides an immediate long-term care benefit of $298,845 which can be used over 6 years. The client has access to his cash value and can withdraw up to 10% a year which will simply decrease his long-term care benefit by 10%. If the client passes away, his estate will receive the cash value minus any long-term care benefits paid.
Note: Mistakenly, his advisors told this client he was too old for a long-term care plan. He wasn't. This plan gives the client a simple 3 to 1 leverage on his money should he need care. And all the proceeds come back to him tax-free for that care. To fund this, he used savings that would have been used to pay for care if needed but now he will receive approximately three dollars back for every dollar he put into the plan. These plans work for individuals up to age 85.

By Christie Slocum
What does is mean to be from The Hill? This is the question that Dr. Alison McLetchie, Ph.D., is here trying to find the answer to. Dr. McLetchie works at Claflin University and has a Masters in Anthropology and a Ph.D. in Sociology. She has brought one student from Claflin and two from the College of Charleston. The team hopes to create an ethnography of Catholic Hill. An ethnography is a report that is produced by the study and systematic recording of human cultures.
The story of Catholic Hill serves as a metaphor for black Catholics in South Carolina. While Catholic Hill is unique in many respects, it is emblematic of the struggle for the faith in the way that the people of Catholic Hill maintained their identity despite decades of hardship and neglect. St. James the Greater Catholic Church is located just south of Walterboro near Ritter. The church dates back to 1826, making it one of the oldest churches in South Carolina. Irish plantation owners started the church and worship there with their slaves.
In 1833, Bishop John England, the first Bishop of Charleston, dedicated the church. Twenty-three years later in 1856, a fire started in a nearby field and spread to the church, destroying the building. Next, the Civil War came through stalling any chances of rebuilding. After the war the Irish settlers left their riddled plantations behind. Slaves were now free and they stayed in the area and continued to worship. They did not even have a priest. Layman led prayers and helped keep the communities' faith alive for nearly forty years. During this time, the people built a schoolhouse next to the church. In 1897, a traveling priest heard about the parishioners. He came and helped re-establish the congregation and served the parish until 1909. A new church was built; however, it would not be there for long. In the 1930's, a tornado spawned by a hurricane destroyed the building, but left the schoolhouse intact. The third church was built and still stands today. The schoolhouse was used until the 1970's and has recently been renovated. Heart pine boards were harvested from the dilapidated building with a plan to build a new altar, an ambo, and a baptismal font. These items would serve as a reminder of the congregation's endurance. Once again, the congregation suffered a loss as the trailer holding the wood was stolen. Prayers were answered as some community members came forward with information leading to the recovery of the beloved wood. It is the perseverance of this congregation which drives Dr. McLetchie to want to know more about the history of the people who inhabit Catholic Hill.
Through the research the team is doing, they hope to create a map of the cemetery using architectural design software and then overlaying that onto modern satellite imagery. They will also create a catalogue of information from the cemetery. They want to know more about who is buried there. They have been scanning old photos for days. They hope to uncover the identities of the people in the photos. They want to learn more about how the freed slaves acquired the land at Catholic Hill, and find out where the original Irish settlers went. The church will be hosting a friends and family days, June 11-13. Photos that have already been scanned will be on display for the community to see. The team is searching for individuals who are willing to be interviewed about the history of the church and area. They would also like help identifying people in the photos they will have on display. If you are willing to help in this ethnography of Catholic Hill, you can reach Dr. McLetchie at 803-535-5528, or by sending her an email to email@example.com.

Dead Hard Drives
February 1, 2014. I went to work with my photos this week and found two of the three photo backup drives had failed. So into the pile of dead hard drives they went (and I'm loading up some new backup files). Note the logos. I am completely finished buying products from Seagate and WD. I've always had problems with them and they don't last more than a couple years (sometimes, they don't last more than a few minutes).

Quirky Earphones, Whacky Bags & Cutesy Stationery: All For INR 99 Up At Korean Brand Mumuso On Park Street
Great For
What Makes It Awesome
Joining the ranks of East Asian lifestyle stores, the visually (and wallet) pleasing Mumuso on Park Street, and Elgin, too, offers you functional yet offbeat merch that you must have. OK, maybe you don't need it, but it's all so oddly useful, you'll want it! There are scores of bags (hand bags, backpacks and totes) -- in pista green, burgundy and some with animated cats eyes on the flap, with prices starting at INR 499. We spotted water bottles for the gym, work or just to drink from at home that are transparent or metal. All with some art on them be it animated characters, lines or floral prints.
Sock hoarders, one whole section is dedicated to this accessory and you will find ankle, knee and peds options. Those looking for underwear you're in luck too. Ladies, you'll find boxer shorts, lacy panties and French knickers, in pleasant colours like peach, green, pink and blue. Lads, there's bright colours, pale solids and black for you in the shape of briefs and boxers alike.
Stationery fiends, keep extra budget for the note books, pens and washi tape. We're in love with the Sakura collection -- an ode to the Cherry Blossom from Japan, all for an easy INR 99. Ear phone in metallic colours start at just INR 399, and we vouch for the sound quality. They even have sports versions that sit on your ear, not slipping while you workout.
What Could Be Better
These kinds of stores keep changing their stocks, but this one is a bit slow.

Why do I find myself as a co-publication author?
In the table of co-authors all unique name strings are considered as unique authors. If you add alternative name strings however, such as historical surnames, in your profile, they disappear in the list of co-publication authors. If you find a name string in the list that belongs to you, you should probably add that to your profile to get better automated guesses on publications to verify.

Spawned from Hate are a UK death metal band and this is their latest release.
I enjoyed Spawned from Hate's 2015 EP Accelerated Butchery, so it's good to hear something new from them. This is a short release, containing only two tracks and lasting less than six minutes.
Elective Amputation wastes no time in getting down to brutal business with a choppy, broken set of blast beats and brutal deathgrowls. Very nice. The band's singer sounds better than ever. The song is fast and precise, showing that these crazed surgeons have been practising their grisly art. Melody can be heard here and there, but it's not long before this is strangled and the pure brutality takes over once more. There are some nice bass touches too now and again.
Hereditary Hatred is the band's next offering. This starts with a slower, lumbering groove before introducing speed once more. This song has more of an old-school vibe than the previous track, in places at least. The singer's growls continue to be very satisfying, as does the music as a whole, really.
This is a strong calling card for Spawned from Hate. Its seems that they have been busy over the last few years refining their sound; stripping away any inefficiencies and shoring up any strengths. The rather unimaginative title of this release tends to obscure the promise it has, and this is a band to keep an eye on in 2018 it seems.
Very highly recommended.

North Port, FLHome Home Menu
Non-Ad Valorem Fee Information
For many years, the City of North Port has funded fire rescue and first response medical services for its citizens through a non-ad valorem assessment. Rates are based the cost of providing these services and how much each category of property benefits from these services. The non-ad valorem assessments are required to provide sufficient revenues for fire/rescue services. The level of fire service provides some of the most affordable fire insurance rates in the area. Your insurance costs are based upon an Insurance Service Organization (ISO) Fire Suppression Rating of 1/1Y which is the highest rating a fire department can receive. This rating indicates that North Port Fire Rescue provides excellent protection from loss due to fire and helps preserve property values through the availability of these fire/rescue services.
In July 2013, the Fire Rescue District contracted for the development of a Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Methodology Study which would establish rates to recover the full-cost requirement of providing fire protection service to properties within the District limits. The rates would be in proportion to the benefit received from the fire protection service provided by the District, initially for for fiscal year 2014, then applied to subsequent years.
On September 19, 2019, the North Port City Commission adopted the non ad-valorem rates for the North Port Fire Rescue District for the 2019-20 fiscal year.

Chen Chin-feng, first Taiwanese playing in MLB, retires
Taipei, Sept. 18 (CNA) Chen Chin-feng (陳金鋒), the first Taiwanese to appear in a Major League Baseball (MLB) game in the United States, retired from the sport after playing his final home game for the Lamigo Monkeys on Sunday.
"I want to thank my manager and teammates. Our time working hard together and the joy, everything we worked for will always be kept in my mind," Chen said after a special ceremony held to mark his retirement.
The slugger also thanked all of the coaches he had during his long career and his family, and said he considered his fans as family.
"Finally, I want to thank my parents for raising and taking care of me. They never wanted me to play baseball, but I thank them because I'm most proud to be their son, Chen Chin-feng," he said.
Noting that Sunday was his mother's birthday, Chen asked the crowd to join with him in singing "Happy Birthday" to his mom.
His club honored him by having all of his teammates wear uniforms with Chen's number, 52, in the Monkeys' home game against the EDA Rhinos in Taoyuan.
During a ceremony marking Chen's retirement, Lamigo Chairman Liu Pao-yu (劉保佑) announced that Chen's number will be retired by the team.
Lamigo General Manager Justin Liu (劉玠廷) said he hoped Chen will remain with the organization as a coach.
In a Facebook post before the game, President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) praised Chen for bringing people in Taiwan together and said he embodied "the spirit of Taiwan in our time."
In his final game as a professional, a 13-9 Monkeys loss, Chen struck out three times and drew a walk in his four plate appearances as the team's designated hitter.
More than 20,000 (20,052) fans attended the game, the highest single-game attendance in the 27-year history of Taiwan's Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL).
The previous record of 20,000 was set in Kaohsiung on March 27, 2013 when former major leaguer Manny Ramirez played his first game for the Rhinos at the team's home park.
Chen also saw his CPBL record of hitting 100 home runs in the fewest number of games – 453 – shattered by the Rhinos' Kao Kuo-hui (高國輝), who smashed the 100th homer of his CPBL career on Sunday in his 364th game.
As he crossed home plate, Kao raised his hands and showed the number 52 to salute Chen.
Before the game, the Monkeys unveiled a four-ton white marble statue of Chen swinging a bat, titled "Chen My Life," as a tribute to the player's 30-year baseball career.
Though Chen was clear on his intention to retire, Lamigo manager Hung Yi-chung (洪一中) did not rule out calling Chen back to the team if it makes the playoffs and Chen is physically able to play.
"If Chen's physical condition allows it, I would definitely want to have him for the championship series," Hung said.The four-team CPBL holds a "Taiwan Series" at the end of the year pitting the league's first-half champion against its second half champion.
The Chinatrust Brothers secured a spot as the best team in the first half of the season, and the Monkeys right behind the Rhinos (after play on Sept. 20) in the race for the other spot.
The 38-year-old announced his plan to retire during a TV interview in January, shortly after he opted to become a free agent in November 2015 following the conclusion of the previous season.
A Tainan native, Chen began playing baseball during his elementary school days and was a member of the Taiwanese team that won the Little League World Series in 1990. He later competed at many different levels of the sport.
[Chen Chin-feng plays for taiwan's national team at the Asian Baseball Championship. CNA photo May 26, 1997]
He caught the eye of major league scouts at the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok when he homered off of South Korea's Chan-ho Park, who had already established himself as a frontline starter for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Chen signed with the Dodgers in 1999 at age 21 and played for the organization's minor league clubs before making his big league debut on Sept. 14, 2002.
Once considered the most promising player in the Dodgers farm system, Chen hit only .091 in 19 scattered appearances with the big league Dodgers from 2002 to 2005 and was eventually released.
He decided to return to Taiwan after trying out with a team in the Japanese professional league. In 2006, Chen signed a three-year NT$30 million (US$946,551.40) contract with the La New Bears to become the highest paid player in CPBL history at the time.
[Chen Chin-feng hits a three-run homer for the La New Bears in the sixth game of the CPBL championship series in Kaohsiung. CNA photo Oct. 27, 2007]
The Bears, which became the Lamigo Monkeys in 2011, won the team's first championship after the arrival of Chen, who hit 21 home runs in 91 games in his first season with the club.
After the team became the Monkeys, it won CPBL championships in 2012, 2014 and 2015.
In 752 games during his 11 years in the CPBL, the slugger belted 132 homers, including 13 this year, and had a batting average of .304. (By Lin Hung-han, Lu Hsin-hui and Kay Liu)enditem/BL/LS
