Greetings again from the darkness. All the critics are raving about it. Love abounds for the latest from director Noah Baumbach and his co-writer and leading lady Greta Gerwig. What makes my ambivalence even more confounding is that I'm a fan of Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale) and Gerwig (Greenberg). The expert level of filmmaking and acting is obvious, the script details and dialogue are exceptional, and the situations and setting are realistic. So why aren't I more excited about this one? That's what I've spent the past few days wondering.
It seems Frances Ha delivers everything I look for in an indie film. The problem is that I find almost every character to be annoying and self-absorbed. The first act finds Frances (Gerwig) sitting on top of the world. She has a boyfriend, a BFF/roomie, and is a dance company apprentice with the expectation of a dance career. Soon enough she watches Strike Three go by and her world is in a tailspin. We then watch Frances trudge on through uncertainty and instability in living arrangements, personal relationships and career path. It plays like a road trip that really never hits the highway.
Frances moves in with Lev (Adam Driver) and Ben (Michael Zegen) and she is oblivious to Ben's interest as she obsesses about her former BFF Sophie (Mickey Sumner). See, Sophie is trying to grow up while Frances wants to stay in her dream land where she and Sophie remain "the same person with different hair". Frances then crashes at the apartment of a fellow dancer played with all seriousness by Grace Gummer (Meryl Streep's daughter). The two dancing opposites attend an awkward dinner party at which Frances manages to spew an endless stream of absurd remarks that advertise her lack of maturity. Her response to this is to take a spontaneous trip to Paris … charged to a new credit card.
Make no mistake. Frances is a very energetic and sincere free-spirited twenty-seven year old. The kind that is only charming in the movies. If her quirk wins you over, you will find yourself rooting for her to get her life together. That would put you in the same corner as most other film critics. On the other hand, if you recognize the optimism, but are unmoved by the immaturity and self-absorption, then you are banished to the corner of those who "just don't get it". And I'll be right there with you.
SEE THIS MOVIE IF: you can revel in the quirky world of Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach and find joy in a flirtateous take on Lena Dunham's "Girls"
SKIP THIS MOVIE IF: annoyingly self-centered people talking a lot about themselves and other things of which they know little, inspires you to request a refund.

That sunburn may be painful and annoying, but it also may help the medical community.
FOX's Colleen Cappon reports in today's "Housecall for Health"...
Scientists have found that sunburns could be the key to developing new pain management drugs.
Research from Kings College - London has found a molecule in the body that controls sensitivity to pain from UV-B radiation. The molecule works by sending inflammatory immune cells to injured tissue, stopping pain and tenderness.
Researchers hope the discovery may help with drugs to ease arthritis and other forms of chronic pain, which costs the U.S. $150 billion a year.

This is my printable version of the classic etch-a-sketch / telesketch. A kind of plotter-toy.
You can draw what you imagine rotating the X-Y knobs.
It works great with a marker or a pen.
The drawing area it's 15x10cms aprox.
The X-axis acts moving the complete paper, inspired in the Prusa Y-axis (moving all bed)
It has many parts and can print mostly without supports (i hate supports)
I've arrange the parts in 6 files according to impression parameters and print order.
Included a PDF with assemblig instructions and some tips.
Included a ZIP file with al the STL files for each part.
Also included the 123D Design files.
See the Print Settings.
And last: Sorry if my english it's not good, i'm from spain and have a bad grammar writting in english.
UPDATE!! The ZIP file 'all_parts_separated_update.zip now contains the STL's with all the pieces 'merged' (old files may cause problems with some slicing software').
Redownload if you have problems with separated parts in the STL's
UPDATE 18-Sept-2016: Youtube video ScienceMadeFunner published a great video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM1SavDy5Rc ) printing, assembling and playing with MicroSketch. Check it out!"

Success – $5,000 Half Court Shot Winner in Greenwood January 25, 2017
In its third year, the Forward Financial Bank $5,000 half court shot found success in Greenwood on Tuesday, January 24.
All attendees of the Greenwood versus Loyal basketball game were given a free ticket by the Forward Financial Bank team on their way in to the game. At half-time a ticket was drawn at random and Todd Schoenherr had two attempts to make the shot from half court.
Schoenherr used his first attempt from half court to dial in the distance and his aim. On his second attempt, he got the crowd on their feet cheering as he drained the shot! He will be receiving a check from Forward Financial Bank for $2,500 and the Greenwood Athletic program will receive a check for $2,500. One shot makes two winners in Greenwood.
Half court shots are occurring at high school basketball games in each of the communities Forward Financial Bank serves. Upcoming shots include Marshfield on January 27, Abbotsford on January 30, Marshfield Columbus on February 7, and Medford on February 17. The purpose of the $5,000 half court shots is to encourage our communities to come out to support our student athletes.

edwin young commented
https://feedback.azure.com/forums/169401-azure-active-directory/suggestions/20249953-powershell-and-graph-api-support-for-managing-mult covers the request to implement PowerShell for MFA server. Once that is available, we can look at adding it to Cloud Shell, but there's not much we can do until then. Thanks for your understanding.
Yes, very important

This is sorely missing. What happened to the old edict that powershell management was to be included with every Microsoft product?
I cant seem to get a report of my registered on-prem MFA users. This is very important

That it's important to take my meds. It's also important that I keep up with my day treatment program and appointments.
I have been trying to deny this for a long time but the fact is I have a mental illness. It doesn't matter what it is called. It impacts my life in various negative ways.
I have a long way to go to reach a good stable period but that's what I'm aiming for.
Time for positive thoughts, time to make a drastic change in my lifestyle.
These changes start tomorrow.
- No giving into or dwelling on urges to cut, or drink cough syrup.
- Better hygiene
- Positive thinking
- Taking my meds
- Being honest with my treatment team
- Use coping skills to get through difficult feelings (color, journal, pray, play with cats etc)
In a months time I will be living in my own apartment for the very first time, time to get my **** together

First there was no studio... then there was no blog. This blog is here as a testament to my endeavors to continue advancing in lampwork and jewelry design. But it's been about other things and life does change.
I am now happily with studio, and so many crafts I can't keep track. Please visit my website, www.gabiloraine.com
Storm rings
I made these rings upon a special request from a friend who wanted to gift his wife a ring. He was very specific about what he wanted. He drew sketches, he showed me pictures of the storms on Jupiter, he didn't shut up about it for about a week. Finally, I made 3 rings, (because I can't really gage the size of the ring so I make a few and then pick the one with the right size) and used random colors, since he hadn't been specific about that one detail. He and his wife definitely loved the ring (the one with white).
My favorite was this one, however it was accidentally dropped and broke. The orange one is still for sale. :) Do not drop!
Beads and stud earrings
These are beads I made for a group of sisters and a brother.
Don't miss the details on the red bead.
These following earrings I definitely made upon request. I am not much of a sculptor but I tried my best. Please don't ask me for more of these! hahaha
And the following are just some more stud earrings I made.
I love the colors and transparency on these...
As always everythign is done with sterling silver.
(These are for sale)

I would recommend Sandra and the team to anyone.
- Sandra is a rare find – technically expert, practical, solutions focused, whilst being people orientated. Add to this that she's reliable, great fun to work with and gives leaders at all levels confidence and you can see why she's rare! Can't recommend Sandra and Centric HR more highly.
- I have worked with Sandra for a number of years. She is a very professional and knowledgeable person, who is always prepared to go the extra mile. Whenever I have worked with her, her input has always been very valuable and well considered. She is always discrete and has considerable integrity.
- Sandra is an exceptionally talented HR professional who works at all levels of the organisation. Sandra showed leadership throughout her dealings with the Estates Team and private sector bidders during PFI negotiations. Sandra also assisted with a number of restructuring projects showing great professionalism.
- Sandra listened to the brief and was able to explain things very clearly and simply for me to understand setting out options. She went out of her way to provide the most cost effective option and I would have no hesitation in recommending Centric HR.
- I have struggled through the minefield that is HR for some time. Then I met Sandra. She helped me set up staff manuals, contracts of employments etc, as well as giving me valuable advice. Sandra is very friendly, professional and offers great value for money. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to other businesses.
- I have dealt with Sandra for the past year and she has been advising myself on all matters relating to both staff contracts and general hr matters. I can only say that I would recommend her to anyone ,she has always given me nothing less than excellent service and advice, always promptly delivered and with the minimum of fuss.
I would happily act as a reference to anyone considering using herself.
- Sandra has been a fantastic help over the past 18 months helping Warrior Doors Ltd and myself really get to grips with our HR responsibilities. She has a vast knowledge and is brilliant at explaining complex matters and guiding you through the dos and don'ts. Sandra is professional, approachable and extremely likeable and has proven herself to be a great asset to us. I cannot recommend Sandra enough, if you have any HR needs Sandra Berns is definitely the person for the job.
- I have deferred to Sandra' expertise many times over the years so it makes sense to work closely with Centric HR. It was a great decision to secure Sandra's services on retainer at the start of 2017 – since then Sandra's advice from a technical point of view has been outstanding. She's also very easy to work with and viewed as a key member of the decision making team. Thoroughly recommended
- Sandra worked with the TASC team over a number of months . She was a tireless professional, and put in place a number of policies and a staff handbook, at a particularly challenging time for the charity. She also provided excellent professional advice to myself as we worked through a sensitive issue for a member of staff, and her wise counsel at that time was much appreciated.

New Option Care study shows benefit of clinical interventions
PHOENIX – Patients with short bowel system receiving parenteral nutrition can avoid hospital readmissions when clinical interventions are provided by a nutrition support team, according to a new study from Option Care. According to the study, SBS patients receiving home PN intravenously (IV), dehydration is a common cause of hospital readmission, with an average three-day length of stay. In the study, the nutrition support team—including a dietitian, nurse and pharmacist—made recommendations (interventions) to adjust the home PN volume based on the weekly monitoring of patients' hydration status through reviewing laboratory values and conducting nutrition assessments. "Every intervention decreases the likelihood of the patient being readmitted to the hospital and this study highlights the value of a nutrition team in providing clinical monitoring and nutrition support, which leads to improved patient care and significant cost savings." The study is being presented at the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) 2019 Nutrition Science & Practice Conference.

El Chico Cafe Recipes
El Chico recipes, a helpful guide to preparing your favorite dishes from the El Chico menu at home. These copycat recipes are typically not based on exactly the method used at El Chico, but are modeled closely on the flavor and texture of El Chico's food, making it easier than ever to bring these great tastes to your house for cheap.
El Chico is a chain of casual Tex-Mex restaurants with 78 locations found throughout the Southern United States. The business began in 1926 with Cuellar family near Dallas, TX, who sold their mother's chili and tamales at the county fair. Today, El Chico offers traditional Mexican-style dishes, including enchiladas, quesadillas, and, of course, margaritas.
From the cheesy biscuits at Red Lobster to the amazing sauces at Buffalo Wild Wings, it's always tempting to go out for a delicious treat at one of the numerous chain and franchise restaurants dotting the landscape.

How much is this going to cost?
Keeping costs under control is a high priority for business owners. Ask your graphic designer about his or her current pricing, but also ask about things that can make pricing quotes change. Ask about how often the graphic designer adjusts his or her rate card, and ask how much advance notice the designer gives his or her clients about rate increases. Ask about cost over-runs. How does the graphic designer handle cost-overruns, and how does the designer handle cost increases that result from changes in your instructions?
Current pricing at Dina's Desktop is very competitive and is adjusted only once annually. Current clients are notified 30 days in advance of any rate increases. A price sheet is also available upon request. Things that can change the flat rates include image editing and custom graphics, as well as modifications. Dina's Desktop also issues prompt estimates of additional fees whenever special requests are received and will provide immediate notification when cost over-runs are expected.

Fashion conscious ladies have such a clean up-close or even from a distance ambiance. Anne Hathaway projects this freshness as in just a few short years she has gone from awkward teenager to fashion icon. Hathaway is someone people watch at awards shows because of her classic style. So when she announced she was getting married, people wondered what she would be wearing on the most special day of her life.
But as it turns out, the designer of her wedding dress announced the choice before the actress had a chance to. "Speaking to reporters at the New York City Ballet Fall Gala on Thursday night, the iconic designer revealed that he 'did the dress' for Hathaway's upcoming nuptials to fiancé Adam Shulman," said People. "He added that the two are extremely close."She's a very good friend of mine," he shared. "She's like my daughter!"
So who is the designer who gave away the secret? It is none other than Valentino Garavani. There has been talk he would design her dress, but until he made the statement, no one knew for sure. And Hathaway is no stranger to Valentino; she wears his designs on a regular basis. The latest of those she wore at the Fall Gala, which Valentino also attended. Hathaway also wore a Valentino gown to the 2011 Oscars, which she co-hosted. Garavani crowned her the "godmother" of his virtual museum launch last year, and Hathaway frequently pops up on chi-chi red carpets wearing the designer's creations, so we're not shocked that she wants Valentino to craft her the most important couture she'll ever wear.
Hathaway, 29, revealed her engagement to Shulman in November 2011, flaunting the huge sparkler designed by the actor himself.
Valentino and Hathaway, of course, are long-term pals. Garavani crowned her the "godmother" of his virtual museum launch last year, and Hathaway frequently pops up on chi-chi red carpets wearing the designer's creations, so we're not shocked that she wants Valentino to craft her the most important couture she'll ever wear.
The designer spoke about Hathaway back in December, giving away hints that he might be the designer of her dress. "I am so happy for Anne. And I would do my best creation for her," Valentino told People. "She's a lovely person. She wears the clothes very, very well. So I would do something special."
But there is still no word on what Hathaway's wedding dress might look like, and it's very possible we won't know until after the wedding is over.
Unfortunately, the Valentino frock is the only thing that's slipped about Hathaway's wedding, as she's keeping the whole thing mum — she claims she's been "too busy" to plan it. A diversion, perhaps? If there's already a bespoke Valentino gown hanging in Anne's closet, maybe she'll be walking down the aisle sooner than we think.
Hathaway and Shulman have been together since 2008, shortly after Hathaway broke up with boyfriend Raffaello Follieri after he pled guilty to multiple crimes.

Ultrafilter Lemma
Let $S$ be a set.
Every filter on $S$ is contained in an ultrafilter on $S$.
Let $S$ be a non-empty set.
Let $\mathcal A$ be a set of subsets of $S$.
Suppose that $\mathcal A$ has the finite intersection property.
Then there is an ultrafilter $\mathcal U$ on $S$ such that $\mathcal A \subseteq \mathcal U$.
Also known as
This axiom may be called the ultrafilter principle or the ultrafilter theorem, and may be abbreviated UL or UF.
Proof from the Axiom of Choice
Let $\Omega$ be the set of filters on $S$.
From Subset Relation is Ordering, the subset relation "$\subseteq$" makes $\Omega$ a partially ordered set.
Let $C \subseteq \Omega$ be a non-empty chain.
Then $\bigcup C$ is again a filter on $S$.
Thus $\bigcup C$ is an upper bound of $C$.
Indeed, if $A, B \in \bigcup C$ then there there are filters $\mathcal F, \mathcal F' \in C$ with $A \in \mathcal F$ and $B \in \mathcal F'$.
We have that $C$ is a chain.
Without loss of generality, let $\mathcal F \subset \mathcal F'$.
Thus $A \in \mathcal F'$.
- $A \cap B \in \mathcal F'$
In particular:
- $A, B \in \bigcup C$
For any $\mathcal F \in \Omega$ there is therefore by Zorn's Lemma a maximal element $\mathcal F'$ such that:
- $\mathcal F \subseteq \mathcal F'$
The maximality of $\mathcal F'$ is in this context equivalent to $\mathcal F'$ being an ultrafilter.
Axiom of Choice
This proof depends on the Axiom of Choice, by way of Zorn's Lemma.
Because of some of its bewilderingly paradoxical implications, the Axiom of Choice is considered in some mathematical circles to be controversial.
Most mathematicians are convinced of its truth and insist that it should nowadays be generally accepted.
However, others consider its implications so counter-intuitive and nonsensical that they adopt the philosophical position that it cannot be true.
Proof from the Boolean Prime Ideal Theorem
Order the subsets of $S$ by reverse inclusion. Then the result follows trivially from the Boolean Prime Ideal Theorem.
Boolean Prime Ideal Theorem
This theorem depends on the Boolean Prime Ideal Theorem (BPI).
Although not as strong as the Axiom of Choice, the BPI is similarly independent of the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms.
As such, mathematicians are generally convinced of its truth and believe that it should be generally accepted.

If you're David Patterson or Tiger Woods, you might resent the level of media intrusion in 21st Century America. Here at ECO Incorporated, however, we're more than happy to bask in the media attention that our wonderful product receives. We've got nothing to hide, after all. You'll find no skeletons in our closet (I'm not counting Marketing Director Ned Kensing's closet, which probably has more skeletons than your typical Dio De Los Muertos parade).
To date, the GreenBox has not been involved in a single corruption scandal or marital indiscretion; it's just a great product that effortlessly captures the attention of the media and the nation at large. And quite unlike David Patterson's ability to procure under-the-table Yankees tickets, I can't even squeeze free Post-It Notes out of the tight-fisted misers I work for. Absolute power corrupts absolutely; utterly powerless in my position as a glorified coffee-jockey, I am entirely free from the temptations of ambition and greed . May it always be so - you'd hate to see me go from humble intern to sex-crazed, power-hungry megalomaniac, wouldn't you? Besides, I don't think I've got the constitution for the kind of extracurricular shenanigans Tiger Woods has gotten up to. I get winded when the elevator in my apartment is out of order, for Chrissakes. I don't know how that guy does it, but the phrase "I'll have what he's having" comes readily to mind...
Where was I? Ah, yes....the Green Box. The GreenBox is that rare thing in 21st Century America: a phenomenon that attracts attention based purely on its genuine appeal to the industry and to consumers. Other folks might have to show a little leg or sell arms illegally to a third-world nation to get on the nightly news. The GreenBox receives constant coverage for one reason only: it is an idea whose time has come.
And so it is that an eagle-eyed New Yorker tipped us off to the recent coverage of the GreenBox on W-CBS TV in New York City. Food & Produce reporter Tony Tantillo stopped by the International Restaurant and Food Service Show of NY on Monday March 1st with a camera crew in tow. Now, it would be one thing if there was a brief shot of the GreenBox or a quick aside from Tony about the product..but Tony took a GreenBox back to the studio to sing its praises, going out of his way to highlight the product for his viewers (check out the clip here - the GreenBox makes its appearance towards the end of the segment). Clearly, Tony is wise to the inevitable success of the product and thanks to his coverage, so are the pizza-eating denizens of the New York City.
I should mention that Tony Tantillo also interviewed me extensively about Iran's continued uranium enrichment in naked defiance of the U.N., but this portion of the feature was mysteriously cut from the broadcast. However, near the start of the clip, you will see a dapper older gentlemen receiving a sample of soup. This man happens to be paternally responsible for both myself and my brother Ned Kensing, although he may not admit to either on camera.
And that's not all - CFO Jennifer Wright was recently interviewed by telephone for an upcoming profile piece in Business Week magazine. This will be posted as soon as it is available. You can be sure that my name will not make it to print, but I'm OK with that. I prefer to remain anonymous, uncorrupted, and pure as the driven snow...with the bank account to prove it.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Belts It Out With James Corden
The Red Hot Chili Peppers joined James Corden recently for a new segment on the Late Late Show. Frontman Anthony Kiedes, Josh Klinghoffer and Chad Smith belted it out together with the host of the show for the Carpool Karaoke segment of the show.
The segment showing the rock band and the 37-year-old host singing while cruising in Los Angeles was released on June 13. However, the date the jam session showing the band with the British TV show host remains unclear since the 53-year-old Kiedis was hospitalized after experiencing extreme stomach pain. The front man of the band was admitted into the hospital last month.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers rocked with the TV personality to the tune of some of the greatest hit songs of the band, including "Can't Stop "By The Way," The Zephyr Song" and "Give It Away." The group also sang "Under the Bridge" and "Californication." The group also made a pit stop outside the house of a stranger where the front man of the band and the comedian wrestled on the front lawn.
Corden said it was not easy to wrestle with Kiedis when you are laughing too much. He lost the wrestling match with the front man of the band.
However, their antics did not end here. After getting back on the car the 53-year-old Flea, Kiedis and Corden took of their shirts for the last part of the trip. Corden laughingly said he felt great after he took off his shirt inside the car. He said it feels weird when he goes shirtless when he is alone on his car. But, with the three of them going shirtless while belting out the hits of the group, he said it felt totally normal.
On the other hand, the front man of the Red Hot Chili Peppers also said it felt good when Corden asked if he was wrong about taking off his top during the trip.

Odds are you got into the restaurant business because you love food. But most first-time restaurateurs learn quickly that most of opening and running a restaurant has little to do with the food and much more to do with the space in which you operate.
Some days may leave you feeling like more of a building manager than a restaurateur because the bulk of your time was spent dealing with utilities, maintenance, furnishings and fixtures. This is never more true than at the launch of a new restaurant: Selecting the right piece of real estate can make or break your business's success, not to mention your start-up budget.
While some business owners may prefer starting with a raw space that can serve as a blank canvas for their restaurant vision, others are embracing the benefits of upcycling. Recycling's more glamorous cousin, upcycling is the act of repurposing an existing object or structure in a way that makes it even more appealing than its original state.
Upcycling has proven to be a a win-win trend for environmentalists who want to keep useful materials out of the waste stream, business owners looking for a cost-effective way to grow and scale, and finally, for consumers who love a new product or business with a quirky backstory.
After being out of use for more than fifty years, a former public toilet in London was renovated into a chic artisanal coffee shop. Rather than gutting the space, the sustainability-minded owners kept the original green and white tile-work and lovingly restored a bank of porcelain urinals into a charming seating area. Called The Attendant, even its name is a subtle nod to its restroom roots.
Upcycled restaurants exist in all types of repurposed real estate. Train cars reimagined as diners are a classic example that can be found all across the globe. Gas station garages, with their high ceilings and retractable doors, are easily reinvented into airy cafes with names like The Fillin Station, offering guests semi-al fresco dining on a pleasant day.
A landmark firehouse in Egg Harbor City, NJ was reborn as The Leatherhead Pub, a restaurant that retains much of the building's original brickwork and ceilings which meant a lot to locals who felt attached to the old structure.
Some new restaurant owners simply repurpose an old restaurant, taking the best elements of a dated establishment – like a row of cherry red, mid century bar stools or a glorious art deco back bar – and breathe new life into the business through a radical new menu or marketing approach.
The upcycling movement has made its way into the pop-up and mobile food service markets as well. Shipping containers, for example, are being used like human-scale LEGOs to build both temporary and permanent dining venues that require a minimal amount of construction; their durable design and modularity allow for endless possibilities. Slumbrew, a Somerville, MA based brewery, recently unveiled a beer garden made of repurposed shipping containers that took only two months to construct.
Meanwhile, the food truck craze has largely been supplied by former delivery step vans – the kind favored by the postal service and FedEx – outfitted with power generators, water tanks, and full kitchens. The relatively low cost of re-engineering an old truck has made them a popular choice for food entrepreneurs just starting out.
If you're opening a new restaurant or considering expanding into new locations, upcycling an existing space offers a sustainable way to stand out from the fold and drive repeat customers with a unique concept.
Working with existing materials and fixtures is not only a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and show your business' commitment to sustainability, but it's also a great way to reduce building expenses.
Find an odd venue that's being sold at a discount because of its quirks and turn that lemon into lemonade. Secondhand furniture and fixtures can also save your business money while adding to the charm and appeal of your restaurant. A well-curated collection of mismatched dishes sourced from a thrift store can look positively shabby chic, and salvaged church pews can make for excellent bench seating for large group tables or in place of banquettes.
Each vintage item, and the walls that house them, have a story to tell: do a little sleuthing and share the history behind the space and the pieces you've incorporated to make your vision come to life. The team at Ledger Restaurant & Bar in Salem, MA does this exceptionally well. Housed in a former bank built circa 1818, Ledger seamlessly weaves the history of their space through every element of their dining experience, including the menu: "Traditional 19th-century dishes, cocktails, and techniques will be elevated with 21st-century resources", their website reads.
Of course you'll soon have people talking about your food, but you need to get them in the door first. What better way to attract new customers than with a unique space that has an interesting history?
An upcycled restaurant instantly sparks curiosity. The local press will enjoy documenting the evolution of the building while guests will be drawn to the conversation piece that your restaurant's heritage offers. For example, the upscale cocktail bar, Alibi, housed in the old "drunk tank" of what was Boston's historic Charles Street Jail, playfully embraces the history of their space by hanging the mugshots of prominent figures and celebrities, from Jay-Z, to Justin Bieber, to Frank Sinatra, to Lindsay Lohan.
As any bargain hunter or antique shopper knows: buyer beware.
Old buildings and secondhand materials have stood the test of time, but they also may be rough around the edges and have a few hidden surprises. It's smart to work with an experienced commercial building inspector before signing a lease or mortgage and with a contractor who can help navigate any curveballs your new space might throw your way.
Be especially careful taking on a new venture in a registered historic landmark building. While great for attracting tourists and history buffs, you will have to abide by strict regulations around how you alter original elements of the building or impact the facade. This can be tricky when also trying to abide by department of health standards for installing a commercial kitchen.
Shipping container construction is also a bit of a wild west in many communities. There may not be existing guidelines for how to bring a shipping container building up to code which could leave your project in permitting limbo with the local authorities.
Repurposing an old building or building materials for your new restaurant is not without its challenges, but for creative restaurateurs looking to open a space that's truly unique and honors a less wasteful lifestyle, the rewards are many.

[Bahamas] New Industrial Agreement Signed for Air Traffic Controllers

May 30, 2016
A new industrial agreement has been signed between the Government of the Bahamas and the Bahamas Air Traffic Control Union (BATCU). The agreement was signed on Friday, May 27 at the Ministry of the Public Service.

A new industrial agreement has been signed between the Government of the Bahamas and the Bahamas Air Traffic Control Union (BATCU). The agreement was signed on Friday, May 27 at the Ministry of the Public Service on Meeting Street. Calling the new agreement 'historic,' Minister of Transport and Aviation, the Hon. Glenys Hanna-Martin said the agreement comes at a critical time for the aviation industry.
"Today marks a new era in the air traffic control sector," said Minister Hanna-Martin. "Air traffic control is a key area and a pillar in our economy." She noted that the significance of air traffic control's critical function, giving as an example the quick and successful coordination between air traffic controllers and emergency responders at the time of Jet Blue's nose landing gear failure recently at LPIA.
Minister of Labor and National Insurance, Hon. D. Shane Gibson who also attended the signing ceremony said that he was satisfied that both sides – the Government and the Union -- were able to execute an agreement that was agreeable to both sides.
Approximately $11 million has already been invested in the industry to improve infrastructure and more improvements are coming on stream to take the sector to international standards.
The new industrial agreement will provide for a lump sum payment, equivalent to one increment; salary increase, equivalent to two increments; a rating allowance for all controllers; increase in salary for new recruits – from $14,650 - $18,000 effective March, 2016; medical insurance in the ratio 80/20, and a training allowance. The agreement will end May 31, 2017 and coincide with the sector's transition to placement under an authority.

If the first two acts of Terranigma were an ode to creation and nature, the massive third act is a requiem of history and humanity, a dark assemblage of surprisingly tragic events for a 16-bit game that goes beyond the normal RPG tropes. This is the second part of my Terranigma retrospective, focusing more on the plot elements that make this the greatest SNES RPG no one played with spoilers as this is delving into a whole lot of specifics.
Defeating Bloody Mary
I used to be terrified of Bloody Mary. Still am. In elementary school, kids would ask, have you done this and that to evoke Bloody Mary? I get chills just writing about it. So it was a bit of childhood exorcism to take on Bloody Mary, who also happens to be one of the toughest bosses in Terranigma. Her castle has the creepiest paintings I've seen in a SNES era game with all the portraits missing their eyes. First time I fought her, my hits had 1-3 damage on her compared to the usual 30-40 on other bosses. The most disturbing part of the battle was learning how the death of her three children drove her into madness. Well, that, and the fight against a quartet of dolls chiming taunts while circling around you, impervious to attack.
Visit Quintet
One of the more light-hearted moments in the game is an actual visit to Quintet, the developers of the game in Neo-Tokio. They jokingly refer to Terranigma as Illusion of Gaia 2 and hint at the ungodly amount of hours that went into the development. It goes to show, despite all the progresses in technology and efficiency, it stills takes lots of hours to make something good. Creation is hard.
No Random Battles In Overworld Map
The world feels vast and I was so happy it wasn't interrupted every 5 seconds or so by a jarring sound effect followed by a random battle. You traverse the continents, explore a myriad of locations, and enjoy the grand overworld theme without continual conflict. This also begs the question, whoever thought countless random battles was a good idea in the first place?
Helping towns grow
One of the most fascinating aspects of the game is the town-building. While not on the level of another Quintet classic, ActRaiser, you interact with a series of 16-bit geniuses including those inspired by the painter Matisse, Thomas Edison, and Alexander Bell as you help your civilization grow. Much of it revolves around the mechanic of bartering items between different cities. You feel the repercussions of your interactions playing cultural ambassador who's also trying to help increase the Economic Growth Index of each town. Slowly, villages become actual cities as you spread fancy brand name clothes and fastfood hamburgers. You even help tourism by snapping photos of exotic locations. Pretty soon, you'll be taking corporate sponsors for your swords and get advertising deals for your greatest boss fights collected into DVD anthologies that'll get sold in the sales binge on Black Friday for $1.00.
The Great Lake Caverns and Silent Hill 2
Silent Hill 2 was probably one of the best games on the PS2. What anchored the whole game was Sunderland's undying devotion for his deceased wife. I was reminded of my excursion to Silent Hill when I met Servas who was waiting for his fiance, Nana, at the beginning of the Great Lake Caverns. I presumed somehow, I'd rescue her and help the separated couple get together again. But after defeating the monsters who've infested Mermaid Tower, you meet Nana and learn she actually died at sea in a storm. She's been reborn as a mermaid and asks you to give her ring to her fiance, pretty much stating they can only be together after he dies. When you return the ring to Servas, he thanks you and vanishes into thin air. I wondered, what happened to Servas? Are they together now? Is it possible there's some other mysterious power running the whole show like the UFOs in Silent Hill. Wait, who's Beruga?
Wait, who's the main villain?
I can't spoil this one as it's too good, but get ready for one of the biggest twists in gaming as you find who the real mastermind behind everything is. Damn...
Zombies of the Past
Are Zombies immortal? That's what mad genius Beruga seems to think. And in the zombie ruins of Louran, you take on an Army of Darkness, only without a chainsaw. The more you find out about Louran, the more you discover how they were responsible for their own destruction. Their only saving grace is Meilin, a mysterious girl who has the power to recreate illusions. Not just of gaia, but love, the past, and even entire cities. Terranigma has many illusions, but its story isn't one of them. Unflinchingly honest, at times, brutal and dark, it's the kind of gripping storytelling that's reserved for the best of narratives. The world is almost about to be reborn, but not in the way anyone could imagine. I know now why so many people who recommended Terranigma to me had a hard time describing it. It defies pat summaries. It's not just about a hero saving the world, as in many ways, your initial mission turns out to be the complete opposite until you change your course. But it's also about more than just a life simulator. The developers specifically wanted to focus on spurring the imagination of gamers in regards to the effects their actions have on the world. Terranigma's brilliant enigma is the way it successfully incorporates the complexities of life into one package in the coat of an anime-styled 16-bit JRPG.
Updating 4/3/2015 with the Conclusion to the Terranigma Retrospective.

| 11.1°C Dublin
The most impressive thing about Swansea and Garry Monk isn't that they are going to reach a record Premier League points total or that they have done so while selling their star striker in the middle of the season.
It's that, unlike so many other clubs, they haven't mentally headed for the beach and their summer holidays once they reached the goals that would have been expected of them before the season started. Instead, they have maintained a level of professionalism in performance and, more importantly, attitude which could yet see them finish as high as seventh. And therein lies the problem.
"I'm always pushing to win and finish as high as possible and if that takes us somewhere else so be it, but what comes with that is a lot of work in the summer," said Monk ahead of tonight's game against Arsenal. The "that" to which he refers through gritted teeth is the Europa League.
"I'm very mindful about how that experience (being in Europe) affected us last season. You see it across the board, outside of the bigger clubs, that it affects league form - and next season will be so important with the rewards of the TV money in the new deal. The league will always be the most important thing to us and if we were to get into Europe we would have to deal with it."
Monk is 36 and has performed superbly in the 15 months he has been in charge of Swansea but, like so many other managers, few things sum up the Premier League's obsession with all things Premier League quite like their attitude to the Europa League.
Most of the big clubs in the Premier League would look down their nose at Seville, Fiorentina, Napoli and Dnipro because their record signing fee isn't that high or they can't afford to pay exorbitant wages but, unlike most of the Premier League, one of those four will be in the Champions League next season via victory in Europe's secondary competition.
That amendment to the competition should have heralded a change in attitude from Premier League teams towards the Europa League but, instead, as Monk said, it is still treated like something that they "would have to deal with".
After Liverpool lost to Arsenal, Harry Redknapp reckoned "they are now in a battle with Tottenham to avoid the Europa League" and, given the performances of both since, it's hard to think that this attitude hasn't permeated throughout the two clubs.
This season, the Europa League gave Tottenham an extra 10 games before they were knocked out with a shrug against Fiorentina while Liverpool came and went with similar apathy against Besiktas. Hull City pretended to care after they were knocked out in the final qualifying round which enabled them to concentrate fully on a season of trying to survive in the Premier League. And look how that is working out.
The competition can be awkward and nothing says there are too many teams involved quite like the fact that a team can be drawn to play in "Group L" but, for young managers and relatively smaller teams, it's a challenge that should be relished.
Tottenham won three and lost three of their Premier League games played immediately after group fixtures in the Europa League and put the home defeats against West Brom, Newcastle and Stoke down the difficultly in juggling Thursday/Sunday fixtures. It proved one of football's great certainties which is that if you offer up an easy excuse for players, they'll take it.
An analysis of the 10 Premier League games they played after Europe shows they won five, drew one and lost four of their matches which gives them an average of 1.6 points per game. In other words, the exact same as they've managed throughout the whole season.
Despite themselves, it looks as though Mauricio Pochettino and Brendan Rodgers will again be juggling European and domestic football next season which presents them with a challenge that neither seems particularly keen to make the best of.
Every player and manager should want to play European football and, given how poorly Rodgers fared in his first Champions League campaign, the Europa League gives him and Liverpool a chance to develop skills, strengthen their squad and, perhaps by getting the latter stages, give the club a focus which is sadly lacking as this current season draws to a meandering close.
It seems unlikely that Jose Mourinho and Porto would have won the 2004 Champions League without the experience of winning the UEFA Cup the previous year while Atletico Madrid's victories in 2010 and 2012 certainly helped them develop to almost winning the Champions League in 2014.
These should be the examples that Premier League teams seek to emulate but, instead, finishing anywhere between eighth and 17th is seen as preferable. And that's before the new TV deal floods money through the Premier League like a tsunami.
It might take a manager like Monk or Ronald Koeman at Southampton to trust their team and themselves enough not to fear relegation while attacking a European competition that gives them a chance to win a trophy and qualify for the Champions League which would be among the high points in the club's history.
Or, more likely, and sadly, they'd just prefer to finish ninth.

-Unfortunately for Hull after their defeat to Arsenal, the eye of this Tiger wasn't able to rise up to the challenge of their rival.
Mario Balotelli (@FinallyMario)
Life is great.
- When you live in your own world like the Liverpool striker, it must be.
Charlie Austin (@chazaustin9)
Surely there is another word other than professional footballer for messi because he is on a different planet to the rest of us!!!!!!!!
- The QPR man sums up the bafflement everyone feels while wondering just how the Barca magician can be so good.
Joey Barton (@Joey7Barton)
Just been and voted and there was a rather large queue. Suppose that's a good thing, right?
- As it turned out, from Barton's Labour point of view, not so much.
Jonathan Walters (@JonWalters19)
Yes @David_Cameron Glad the country has seen sense...
- Maybe there have been many Irish international Tory supporters over the years. It just feels like an odd combination.
Jack Grealish (@JackGrealish1)
Over the moon to get my first prem league man of the match, more important what a win from the boys! Fans were great
- The Villa youngster again has the temerity to tweet about something other than his international allegiance.
Paul McShane (@pmacca15)
All the best to @NewtownUtd today playing Bohs in the LSL quarter finals. Up the village.
- Even while in a relegation fight, the Hull man's mind drifts to home. To compound a bad weekend for the Ireland international, Newtown lost the game 2-0.
Sunderland woke up and saved themselves from relegation around this stage last season and this was a bet for anyone who fancied them to do the same.
They had huge slices of luck in this game however, after beating Manchester United, Everton have now lost two on the trot as their season draws meekly to a close.

Applying for Social Security Disability Benefits
Category: Article
Gathering Information is the Hard Part!
Planning to apply for Social Security Disability (SSDI) benefits online? Here's the good news: the process is relatively simple. The Social Security Administration's (SSA) web site is well designed and easy to navigate. Anyone with minimal web experience should have no trouble:
- Visit www.ssa.gov
- Click the Disability link.
- Click the Apply for Disability Benefits link.
- Proceed to the Online Disability Benefit Application.
- Complete the information in the grey shaded area, and then click the "Apply for Benefits" box.
These five steps should take you no more than 30 seconds, and you are on your way!
Sort of. Here's the bad news. SSA will work hard to make a fair decision on your claim, based on all the evidence available. But YOU must provide much of that evidence. While submitting your claim online, you will enter dozens of pieces of information.
Take a Tip! Make your claim submittal as quick and easy as possible. Gather your information first, and then apply for benefits.
Gather this information:
- Military Service discharge information (Form DD 214) for all periods of active duty.
- W-2 Form (or your IRS 1040 and Schedules C and SE if self-employed) from last year.
- Social Security Number(s) for your spouse and minor children.
- Checking or savings account number and bank routing number, if you want Direct Deposit for your benefit checks.
- Name, address and phone number of someone SSA can contact who knows about your medical conditions and can help with your claim.
- Names, addresses, phone numbers, patient ID numbers, and dates of treatment for all doctors, hospitals, and clinics. You may want to refer to any Medical Records you have.
- Names of medicines you are taking and who prescribed them. You may want to have your medicine bottles available. Be prepared to list the condition treated by the medicine and side effects, if any.
- Names and dates of any medical tests, and who sent you for them.
- Types of jobs and dates you worked for your last 5 jobs.
- Information about any insurance or workers' compensation claims you filed, such as claim number and name, address and phone number of insurance company.

Planning to come to the park? Here's a few things to keep in mind:
Make certain that you are aware of any trail closures. These will be updated regularly, based on the Park's Operational requirements.
Reduce Your Impact, Increase Your Enjoyment
At present the only public road access and developed parking is at the end of Glenbow Road. The parking facilities that have been constructed were designed and built to accommodate the largest number of vehicles possible, but this is only about 100 cars. We are unable to expand present parking simply due to the fact that the topography of the land and location of roads and buildings do not offer us any further space.
Please, come with your group, but keep your carbon footprint small – carpool and visit in non-peak times!
When You Arrive
- Park map signage is located online, at the main parking lot, and trailside locations throughout the park. You can purchase trail maps at the Visitor Centre when it is open (please note that Visitor Centre hours change based on season, and it is advisable to check these before you come). Use these to locate washroom facilities, picnic areas, emergency contact numbers, and to plan your walking and cycling routes.
- Glenbow Ranch is a day-use park; there is no overnight camping, no camp fires, and the park is open during daylight hours.
- Keep your dogs on leash and pick up after them at all times.
- Stay on designated pathways.
