The CPA-World Bank Extractive Industry Seminar, held from 8 to 10 December 2015, provided a valuable and unique opportunity for Parliamentarians, parliamentary officials and staff, experts in governance and influential thought leaders around the world to come together to discuss and share up-to-date experience and knowledge of an important global issue of current concern for parliamentary development.
Parliaments have a critical role to play in helping steward the use of a nation's natural resources for the benefit of the community. This year's Seminar explored how parliamentary revenue and supply procedures can be used by parliaments to strike a balance between ensuring the state captures sufficient revenues from extractive activity to be able to provide a development dividend, while promoting and sustaining investment in the sector.
The Seminar was opened by the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) Director of Programmes, Ms Meenakshi Dhar and World Bank representative, Mr Mitchell O'Brien. Following the introduction of all parliamentary delegates, the key note address was presented by Mr Adrian Bailey MP (United Kingdom) on 'Recent Developments in Parliaments in relation to the Extractive Industries'.
The Seminar heard from a wide range of guest speakers and experts including representatives from the African Centre for Parliamentary Affairs (ACEPA), The Oxford Centre for the Analysis of Resource Rich Economies (Oxcarre), the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions of Chile, Adam Smith International, the World Bank, Global Witness, Natural Resource Governance Institute and UK EITI Multi-stakeholder group, TullowOil, the Canadian Federal Parliamentary Budget Office and Global Commodities at Merrill Lynch.
The Commonwealth Parliamentarians also had opportunities for networking and had a tour of the Houses of Parliament of the United Kingdom during the seminar.
The CPA Branches represented at the Extractive Industries Seminar included: Cameroon; Kenya; Uganda; Western Australia; Zambia; Nigeria; Northern Territory, Australia; Quebec, Canada; British Columbia, Canada; Pakistan; Malawi; Balochistan, Pakistan; Malaysia; United Kingdom.
The Commonwealth Parliamentary Association connects, develops, promotes and supports Parliamentarians and their staff to identify benchmarks of good governance and the implementation of the enduring values of the Commonwealth.

NEW YORK • The throne has arrived. Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan's fully functional, solid 18-karat-gold copy of a Kohler toilet - an over- the-top apotheosis of wealth - was installed in the humble restroom on the fifth-floor ramp of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum late last week and opened for business to anyone with the urge yesterday.
The sculpture, titled America, was supposed to have arrived months earlier, but it turned out that moulding and welding together that much gold was far trickier than anyone anticipated.
And yet after all the high-wire, high-security work to make the piece in a foundry in Florence, its installation was not much different from that of any toilet in any restroom in the world. Mr Michael Zall, the museum's associate director of facilities operations, said a trusted plumber hooked it up, "with some butterflies in his stomach".
He added: "If he was ever a regular plumber, he's not anymore."
Cattelan, 55, who mostly lives in Milan, was on hand on Tuesday as the piece was being tested out, giddy and a bit nervous. He is known as one of the art world's most nimble jesters - and one of the most expensive living artists at auction - but he has said he hopes people do not see the toilet sculpture as a joke.
It is at the same time an absurd sendup of inequality and a kind of gift to the museumgoer, a rare chance to spend private time with something ravishingly beautiful.
The sculpture's cost is not being revealed. The piece will remain in place and in use indefinitely.
The artist invited me to try it. Because I both needed to and wanted to, I did, locking the door behind me. I have interacted with some art in my years of writing about it - I once got to tweak an Alexander Calder wire portrait, as he intended, setting its facial features into lovely animated motion. But I had never urinated on someone's art.
The sculpture really looks its best when in use, sparkling so much it is almost too bright to look at, especially during the flush, which may be a new postmodern sublime. I put down the incredibly heavy seat, washed my hands and went back out to find Cattelan.
He said: "I'm happy because it's not on a pedestal, it's not in a gallery. It's in a little room, just waiting for you whenever you need it."

This area is one of one of the very first hotel places on the planet, being home to a number of the most famous seaside resorts such as Cannes, Antibes and Saint Tropez. This tranquil shore, a heart for many actors offers numerous lodging possibilities.

Updated June 22, 2017
SmithersPira cites the packaging market is expected to reach $997 billion by 2020. With key factors such as sustainability and convenience driving customer choices, packaging companies strive to stand out. Let's take a look at how this year's packaging market trends can help companies do that.
Clear Branding
As noted in Mintel's global packaging trends report, packaging companies should focus on manufacturing unique, functional product structures that:
- Differentiate the product on the shelf
- Help form and build brand identities
While product differentiation isn't anything new, it continues to be a trending topic, especially as new shapes and materials are developed. More than ever, brands will need to create a design that:
- Resonates with consumers, speaking to their needs and values
- Appears attractive and innovative, aiding in recognition and awareness
Significant packaging opportunities exist for brands to:
- Engage
- Entertain
- Educate
This is due to consumers looking to benefit from packaging as a determining factor in their purchase decisions. Additionally, increased demands for food safety have created a push for functional, smart packaging.
Mintel also cites that packaging will continue to grow in importance with regards to building brand loyalty. Today's consumers increasingly care about:
- Value
- Authenticity
- Community
These items serve as a means of motivating consumer purchase decisions.
Online Shopping
As consumers continue to embrace e-commerce, brands will need to consider how the in-home vs. in-store experience impacts package designs. Additionally, understanding the delivery component of their packaging will be important.
Adhesives play an important role in product packaging. The right adhesive can help promote brand image and aid in overall consumer experience. Bostik manufactures smart adhesives for a range of packaging applications. Additionally, these products save time and money by improving operational efficiencies. For more information on how our adhesives can help your company, call 800-7-BOSTIK.

Back pain can be annoying and miserable. It can also cause missed days at work, rising medicals bills and time lost playing with your children. In fact, it is the number one reason that people see a chiropractor. Instead of "dealing with back pain", why not be proactive and prevent it from happening in the first place? Here's some tips.
"Stand up straight". We have all heard this from our mothers growing up, but mom knew what she was talking about. Correct posture can prevent most back issues. Stand tall, balanced, and aligned.
Lift properly. When lifting heavy objects, kneel to lift the object, keeping the weight close to your body while using the legs to lift rather than the back.
Learn to hold the phone properly. Use the speakerphone or hold the phone to your ear maintaining proper neck and head alignment while using the phone.
Move around frequently. Sitting at a desk for extended periods of time puts us at a much greater risk for back trouble. The hip flexors become shortened, the spine, neck, and shoulders are hunched forward. Get up and move around frequently. Try some shoulder rolls and stretch the back and neck. Stay hydrated. The vertebral discs are 88% water. Dehydration can lead to degeneration of the discs.
Sleep properly. Not only is adequate sleep necessary to overall health, HOW you sleep is important for spinal health. If you sleep on your back, try placing a pillow under your knees to relieve the pressure on your spine. Even better, sleep on your side. Maintain flexibility. Full range of motion of all the joints is important, particularly around the spine and pelvis.
Strengthening exercises for the core. Maintaining a strong core is essential for a healthy back. Focus on exercising the abdominal wall (your "six-pack"), the back extensors and the internal and external oblique muscles.

Photo mining
Take nothing but memories, leave nothing but footprints…that well-worn traveller's mantra might be modernised to say "take nothing but photos." Indeed, modern travellers take and share billions of photos every year thanks to the advent of smartphones, digital cameras, and social media. The digital footprints they leave offer a hidden treasure of geotagged information about popular and not-so-popular tourist destinations.
Now, Zhenxing Xu, Ling Chen, Haodong Guo, Mingqi Lv, and Gencai Chen of the College of Computer Science, at Zhejiang University, in Hangzhou, China, have investigated how data-mining online photo collections and their geotags might be used to develop recommendations for other travellers. Until now, most data mining of tourist photographs has focused on time and location and ignored the context of the images. Xu and colleagues have added another layer to a recommendation algorithm
"[Our system] uses an entropy-based mobility measure to classify geotagged photos into tourist photos or non-tourist photos," they explain. "Secondly, it conducts gender recognition based on face detection from tourist photos," they add. "Thirdly, it builds a gender-aware profile of travel locations and users and finally, it recommends personalised travel locations considering both user gender and similarity."
The team has tested the approach with a dataset of geotagged photos from eleven popular tourist destinations across China. "Experimental results show that our approach has the potential to improve the performance of travel location recommendation," they conclude.

I have recently rediscovered the "Preservation in Mississippi" blog and am trying to read it when i get a chance. This morning I delving into the concrete block construction fad in Vicksburg (this relates to studying for my test tomorrow i swear) and was curious as to why they claimed to provide excellent insulation. Some readers were curious too and one guy had an answer:
"The blocks used for the cap of the low wall show some playfulness with the block machine. The manufacture used a form for the short side of the block that was half the size of the block they were making. This gave it a half rockface, half smooth finish to the block.
"[The concrete block construction] claims are 100% valid. The continuous dead air space they refer to in the article is a pretty good insulator since dead air does not transfer temperatures. With modern insulation like fiberglass bats or spray foam (gasp, boo, hiss) its not the product insulating the structure but the dead air space the insulating material tries to create. Like Malvaney said air infiltrating the space will negate the value of a cavity.
"Well maintained this method of construction is fairly efficient. Although temperature transfer through walls is pretty low on the list of concerns. Walls are fourth on the list behind roof, floor, & openings(doors and windows)."
Dead air space provides insulation?! This was something I didn't know but it makes sense of course. The "loft" of your sleeping bag or comforter keeps you warm (and when you loose that loft cause you washed it, you're not warm anymore). I sought to verify this with a trip to howstuffworks and learned that the purpose of insulation is to retard the transfer of heat and since air is poor conductor of heat it is probably the most basic, effective, and accessible form of insulator. This would also explain [to me] why all these new thermal fabrics and such are so full of "technology" because they have to get around the most basic rules of insulation.
not exactly related, but this is a picture of the very uninsulated (and drafty) attic of Sunshine. You can imagine how all that hot hot air in the summer transfers DOWN into the house!

5 Fertility Mantras - Leave Infertility Behind for a Breath
Controlling Our Thoughts On Infertility Through Mantra
Repeating thoughts in our head convinces our brain that we mean business- that those thoughts are important.
I won't make assumptions. I will share with you that sometimes the thoughts in my head that go around and around and on and on are not what I want to reinforce. You may have a few of those too.
From the Merriam Webster dictionary online, a simple Definition of mantra. :" a sound, word, or phrase that is repeated by someone who is praying or meditating. : a word or phrase that is repeated often or that expresses someone's basic beliefs."
Let's give our brains and hearts a different message about our basic beliefs.
And remember, no prayer is necessary. Just a simple recitation of a word or set of words.
Try one of these "mantras" instead:
- I am grateful I am alive
- The light shines on me
- I nourish myself with my breath
- Shanti (peace)
- Exhale, inhale (with the rhythm of your own breath)
Simple, right?
Try one or create your own. Do two minutes a day and refresh throughout the day. Especially when you hear less pleasant thoughts about yourself in your head.
Mine for today- I am grateful I am alive.

Ruins charts the stigmatization and criminalization of poor and marginalized HIV-positive women singled out for political gain in contemporary Greece.
Ruins: Chronicle of an HIV witch-hunt, tells the story of women rounded up in the streets of Athens and subjected to mandatory HIV tests. Twenty-six women were found to be HIV positive. They were arrested, publicly exposed on television and the print media, and vilified as a "time bomb" threatening Greek families.
This was done by the right wing Greek Government in the weeks before the 2012 election. By drumming up hysteria against sex workers, immigrants, disabled people and other marginalised groups, the Government attempted to show it was "in control" by instituting brutal crackdowns.

In a personal injury action, the injured party can claim against the defendant for both past income loss (being their actual lost income up to the date of the trial), as well as for potential future lost income earning ability (called a "loss of capacity" claim). In both cases, the plaintiff must satisfy the court on a balance of probabilities that they have suffered these losses, as well as the amount of the loss. In many cases, past wage loss can be a simple calculation – for example, a plaintiff can use pay stubs, or income tax returns to show how what their earnings were up to the accident, and can readily calculate how much income was lost – for example, if the plaintiff earned $600 a week, and was off for two weeks, their lost income is easily calculated to be $1,200. Bringing a claim for lost income can be tricky if your income comes from more unorthodox sources.
Wrongful Death
What are Court Costs?
Most British Columbians who pursue their personal injury claims through a lawsuit will do so with the assistance of legal counsel. Legal fees are typically very expensive. The vast majority of injured plaintiffs will hire a lawyer on a contingency fee basis, meaning that they will be paid a percentage of the total settlement or judgment, and usually the lawyer doesn't get paid until the case is over. As a personal injury lawyer, clients will often ask me, "Can I sue ICBC or the other party for all of my legal costs?" My answer to this question is as follows: not really.

Some really exciting news in case you missed it!!! The Drovers are playing a reunion show on March 15th in Chicago. And, Dave Callahan has promised a big announcement about this very topic of their recordings on Friday.

I'm so excited by this development. I hope they extend their reunion to New York.
Like their Facebook page so you'll be on the up & up & up!

text: While Fox's medical drama House will get one more, probably final season to wrap up any lingering storylines that somehow slipped past the show's vigilance about always resetting itself, it seems like at least one of those threads has already been resolved: Lisa Edelstein—a.k.a Cuddy, whose tempestuous romance with House was one of the few plot arcs allowed to live for more than a few episodes—has decided not to return. Deadline reports that the actress balked at taking a pay cut (albeit one that still would have left her with around $2 million) and simply walked away, saying in a statement, "After much consideration, I am moving onward with a combination of disappointment at leaving behind a character I have loved playing for seven years and excitement of the new opportunities in acting and producing that lie ahead." Her departure leaves Olivia Wilde (who's already got plenty of new acting opportunities of her own that will eat up a lot of her time) as the only regular female cast member. On the other hand, it also means the retirement of that asinine "Huddy" sobriquet.

We turned a beloved breakfast hash into a fun finger food. If you can't find Broccolini, use broccoli and finely cut the stems. More than likely you have seen fingerling potatoes at the market, and may have even bought some to roast with other root vegetables, or boil for use in a potato salad. But have you wondered just what is a fingerling potato? Is it the same thing as a new potato, or a new variety of potato? Here is a quick Fingerling 101: Fingerlings are not new potatoes, which are simply immature potatoes that get thinned out early in the season in order to make room for the rest of the potatoes to mature. New potatoes are merely the baby version of any potato a farmer grows. Little fingerlings, however, are their own variety of potato, though they often get confused with new potatoes because they're small. Fingerlings are elongated in shape, about the size of a finger, with a delicate skin that does not need to be peeled before cooking. Fingerlings have a firm texture that holds up well in cooking, so try them roasted whole or boiled.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 425°F. Drizzle potatoes with oil, and rub to coat. Sprinkle with pepper and 3/4 teaspoon of the salt. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet, and bake until skins are slightly crispy and potatoes are tender when pierced, about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium. Add bell peppers, Broccolini, and shallots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Slit each potato lengthwise. Gently push the ends toward the center to split them open, like miniature baked potatoes. Spoon about 2 teaspoons bell pepper mixture into each potato. Serve warm.

I'm in the mood for puppy love. There, I admitted it. My hubby, the Binmeister, has a bizarre stray cat that stalks him around the yard and jumps into his lap for affection. I want equal adulation from a cute, furry, four-legged friend, a dog.
"A dog is the only thing in the word that loves you more than he loves himself," humorist Josh Billings said.
President Barack Obama's $700 billion bailout bill passed in less time than it took him to select Portuguese water dog "Bo" as America's top dog. I empathize with the First Family; choosing a family pet is a big decision. I have in mind a perfect pooch that is intelligent, doesn't shed, isn't too big or too small, has a sweet disposition, is social, doesn't bark a lot, cleans house, cooks - wait a minute, that's a wife - worships the ground I walk on, and, oh yes, I'd like all of those qualities in a rescue dog.
Border collies and poodles are Nos. 1 and 2 respectively on a list that ranks the intelligence of 133 pedigreed dogs by their ability to learn owner-pleasing behavior. However, designer dogs are all the rage these days. A designer dog is a canine combo - we used to call them mutts - bred to capture the best traits of each pedigree in one dog. For example, poodle mixes are bred to produce intelligent, low- or no-shedding offspring with some characteristics of the partner pedigree. A poodle crossed with a German shepherd could produce a fearless, protective shepadoodle; Labradoodles could be eager to please and free-spirited like a Labrador retriever, and a goldendoodle is a golden retriever/poodle blended to be loyal, obedient and friendly. Then there's the ever-popular shampoodle, which likes to take frequent baths - sorry, designer dog joke.
- Who let the dogs out on April 17 at Jacksonville Golf & Country Club? Poodles, one named Cherry, a pair of great Danes named - get this - Allie and Gator, beagles, schnauzers, pugs, a Lhaso apso, a Chihuahua and a bichon frise were among the pooches enjoying doggie treats while their humans sipped "wagaritas" and "pawtinis" at Canines and Cocktails, a fundraiser hosted by Pawsitive Pets. The Northeast Florida nonprofit serves as a facilitator for the Reading Education Assistance Dog program, which pairs children who have below-par reading skills with therapy dogs, so the youngster can practice reading aloud to a pup trained to listen.
Terri Neely and her dachshund Dotti, aka "Hotti Dotti," are a READ team that goes to third-grade classes at Neptune Beach and Twin Lakes elementary schools for child-on-canine reading sessions. Children lagging in literacy skills are intimidated by reading aloud in a group, but reading to dogs, such as Dotti, builds confidence and self-esteem. Dotti was smartly dressed in a pull-on that said, "Does this shirt make me look short?" She seemed to enjoy socializing with Jennifer Rothenberg's Yorkshire terrier Reese, and Incanto, a toy Pomeranian owned by Andrea Jaffe.
Pawsitive Pets President Lucinda Hietbrink and event organizer Kelly Blackburn saw to it that there were biscuits aplenty for the four-legged guests. Some pets posed for professional pictures by Elizabeth Carol Originals, and their two-legged owners perused a silent auction. There were drawings for Bow Wow Baskets, and vendors displayed pet-related services, such as The Jacksonville Humane Society, South Paw Canine Rehab, First Coast Scoopers, No Place Like Home Pet Sitting, Cloud 9 Mobile Pet Spa, Barnes & Noble, PRP Wines, Coastal Veterinary Hospital and Pet Resort, Southpaw Canine Rehabilitation and Jennifer Swanson selling her children's book about the crime-fighting dog duo Penny and Rio.

- "The good news is it's not the hurricane season; the bad news is it will be pretty soon." That was Steve Letro, meteorologist in charge of the National Weather Service in Jacksonville, talking to members of the Newcomers Club of the First Coast at an April 16 luncheon at Sawgrass Country Club. When he was a boy, blizzards in Buffalo were the weather events that captured his attention. Then his family moved to South Florida, and he got a degree in meteorology from Florida State University. Now the award-winning meteorologist is in charge of weather prognostication throughout 29 Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia counties.
Letro's entertaining and informative talk addressed hurricane myths and realities. He said predicting a light hurricane season is meaningless, because "it only takes one!" 2009 could have fewer hurricanes than past seasons, "but we have no idea where they are going," he said. "All you need to know about hurricanes in Northeast Florida is they have happened in the past, they will happen in the future."
Newcomers of the First Coast is a nonprofit social organization that provides a venue for women new to the area to make friends. New board members elected at the luncheon were Virginia Smyries and Cathy Burke, programs; Mary Domask, membership and Maureen Kirschhofer, historian. They join second-term board members President Pat Pereira; Carol Sheil, interest groups; Gail Killion and Cindy Kastner, luncheons; Secretary Linda Cornelio and Treasurer Joy Cook. The group meets monthly September through May. Carol O'Dell, author of "Mothering Mother," will speak at the May luncheon, as well as First Coast News anchor Jeannie Blaylock, who will talk about breast health. Newcomers plans to present Blaylock with $1,000 raised to pay for 10 mammograms for women who need them. For membership information, contact Bridget Girard at email@example.com.
- Christina Foard tells stories on canvas using colorful patterns and symbols. An exhibit of her art, "Mapped Choices: Transparency U Wear," opened with a reception April 17 at the Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach. Foard interprets the inner philosophies of her subjects as gowns. A painting of three sister gowns represents Foard and her sisters. She is the dress that blends into the background, but is covered with circles signifying lessons learned. Foard's aerial landscapes (abstract, multicolored Google Earth perspectives) from Jacksonville to California have an autobiographical bent; they are her "walk through life ... I'm an intuitive painter," she said.
The Foard show runs through May 22.
- FOCUS Cummer, a nonprofit that supports the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, wound up its year on April 16 with a dinner finale at Sawgrass Beach Club. President Frank Barker said the "merry band" that started FOCUS 10 years ago has grown to 750 people, including 122 significant contributors, who belong to the Cummer Ponce de Leon Society. The group's activities during 2008-09 commenced with a Cummer/River Club kickoff in September then included art tours, member-raising cocktail parties, Adventures in Art at the Ponte Vedra Beach branch library, elementary school art programs and a year-end gala. Interim Executive Director Hope McMath said FOCUS is "the Cummer's most important support group."
Barker introduced new board members. Officers are Vice President Fran O'Brien, Secretary Marian Edwards, Treasurer Ken Gorman and President Marty Jones, who said, "Art is what gives us our soul; it is what connects us as human beings to people in other countries." To join, e-mail Membership Chairwoman Susan Saunders at susan.saunders@raymond james.com.
- For the past five years, several couples at the BRASS-hosted Swing with the Symphony dinner-concert have pooled their bidding power to win dinner for 12 catered by Carrabba's Italian Grille in one of their homes. This year Ann and Bob Maxwell hosted the gourmet repast for Lois and Pete Dalmares, Connie Dalmares, Luci and Jack Kyle, Judy and Walter Shipley, Barbara Shipley, Sandy and Ken Taylor and Shirley and Chris Banwell.
- The Rooney Bin's last dog was an accidental designer model that came about when a neighbor's Lhaso apso was attracted to a dissolute miniature poodle that lived down the street. Our children dubbed their choice from the Lhaso-poo litter Ding Dong. Imagine my embarrassment when picking her up at the vets. "I'm here for Ding Dong Rooney," I'd say, trying to ignore the snickering in the waiting room. The late Ding Dong was lovable and goofy. So in spite of my long list of preferred doggie traits, I know my ultimate choice will be an impulse based on an intangible quality that captures my heart.
As pet author Mordecai Siegal wrote, "Acquiring a dog may be the only opportunity a human ever has to choose a relative."

Thinking of resolutions and new beginnings, reminded me of this poster. There's so much truth in there and it's so soothing to read those words. I would love to see it hanging in my room, but I don't fully see where it would fit. I need more surfaces in my life.

After seeing The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if Disney ever made a third movie with these characters. There are a few scripts floating around which got me thinking, and seeing how it's already 2020 and no movie seems to be on the radar, I thought I'd take a stab at concluding the story. For the sake of brevity it is presented in summary form with specific dialogue only in critical scenes.
Trash floats through the vacuum of space into the distance. The outline of a giant hatchway comes into view, outlined against the starfield. A small, ugly craft appears suddenly as if from thin air, then creeps into the hatchway as it begins to close, and as it snaps shut the stars turn into starlines as the Star Destroyer jumps to hyperspace.
The small ship lands in the grimy interior of the garbage bay and a hatch slides open. BB-8 rolls out, disguised as a First Order tactical droid, followed by Finn in Stormtrooper armor and Rose in a rough and ready First Order uniform. After quipping about the existence and danger of Dianogas they get to work, BB-8 and Finn heading for the crew and bridge sections, Rose descending into the engine bays with a variety of small electronic devices connected to binary beacons. Arriving at the intersection between the bridge and crew quarters, Finn and BB-8 split up, Finn to crew, BB-8 to the bridge. As he marches down the hallway, a unit of Stormtroopers pass headed by a glowering Kylo Ren. Finn quickly turns the corner out of sight, but Kylo whirls around and glares behind him, the troopers stumbling to a stop. Gathering himself, he marches on to the bridge. As the captain rises to greet him, he throws the hapless soul into the window and begins ranting about his lack of support in the battle. The captain sputters about ship malfunctions and crew morale, but Kylo doesn't want to hear it. What peeves him most is the fact that the Resistance seems to be able to predict his every move. The officers mutter behind his back of rumors that Kylo believes Luke is orchestrating these failures from beyond the grave.
Finn and BB-8 return to the garbage dump. Finn has updated the trooper's information and procedure manuals with some choice history of the Galactic Empire and the Jedi, and BB-8 has gathered from the computers the fleet's next destination. Finn sends this info down the line to the Resistance. Sabotaging Kylo's ship was the most dangerous of their missions, which is why it was their last, but they seem to have pulled it off. The last Resistance hyperspace relay is placed on the floor of the garbage dump, awaiting its ejection at the site of the next place of unrest in the galaxy. Rose is still unaccounted for, however. Finn's communicator crackles, telling him that there's a problem. They leave for the engine rooms.
On Coruscant, Hux reviews the losses and Kylo's final report. Thrawn stands behind him. He denigrates Kylo's tactics as unbecoming of a Supreme Leader, bemoaning the state of the First Order with an unbalanced Skywalker at its helm. Thrawn comments on the frivolous waste of chasing down the Resistance as he has singlehandedly won the core worlds for the First Order.
They walk the halls of the First Order palace, coming to a room off-limits to anyone but Kylo. Thrawn nevertheless has the codes, and they enter Kylo's sanctuary. Here are his artifacts, his broken mask which has been welded together, Vader's mask, broken lightsabers and old Kyber crystals, Sith paraphernalia. Thrawn approaches Kylo's mask. He remarks upon how Kylo himself broke the mask and had it remade, and how curious it was that one so eager to destroy finds it difficult to actually take action. He claims that Kylo is in fact governed by his legacy to such an extent that he is unable to move beyond it. He tells Hux that the First Order knows very well where Leia is hiding, directing all these uprisings, but Kylo refuses to destroy her because of his conflicted soul. He urges Hux to take action, to do that which he has wanted to do since the beginning, that someone fighting on the front lines is susceptible to…accidents. With Kylo out of the way, Thrawn would be under Hux's control, and would gladly end this insurrection. It is Leia who keeps the legend of Luke alive, Thrawn says, and to kill her is to kill the Resistance. Hux asks of the girl who is so important to Kylo, and what threat she poses. Thrawn pauses beside a collection of curious artifacts – the helmet of a Rebel pilot, a small potted flower clinging to life, a stuffed Rebel fighter doll – and says that she is nobody, capable of inspiring no armies, no resistance to their will, Force or not. For the Force is a distraction from real power, the power to rule galaxies.
What a grand and intoxicating innocence. How could you be so naive? There is no escape. Come, lay down your weapons. It is not too late for my mercy.

Significance and Meaning of Magna Carta
Renuka Savant
Mar 10, 2020
Magna Carta or the Great Charter was Europe's first documented constitution. Close to 800 years old now, the document has been a benchmark of sorts for future democracies to base their principles on. This post summarizes and explains the significance of Magna Carta.
Did You Know?
• Four exemplifications or copies of the 1215 Magna Carta exist; however, there is no evidence of the original one sealed by King John (if there ever was one) having survived. Two of these are held by the British Library, one by the Lincoln Cathedral, and one by the Salisbury Cathedral.
• The copy kept on display at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. is from 1297, and bears the royal seal of Edward I.
Written in Latin in 1215, the Magna Carta is widely considered to be the precursor to many states' constitutions that are democratic in nature. It is interesting to note, however, that the original Charter was drafted for the sole benefit of the elite class, keeping their best interests at heart.
It was only in the 17th century that the two defining acts of English legislation―the Petition of Right (1628) and the Habeas Corpus Act (1679)―alluded to "the law of the land" and "justice"―concepts that were to heavily influence the British and American legal systems in the years to come.
History of Magna Carta
To understand the significance of the Magna Carta, one needs to peruse its history. The events which led to the creation of this document were certainly one-of-a-kind, marking the first signs of open rebellion within the haloed precincts of British aristocracy.
Magna Carta Memorial built by the American Bar Association at Runnymede.
What is the meaning of Magna Carta?
'Magna Carta' is a Latin term which translates to 'Great Charter' in English. It is widely believed to be a landmark document, the contents of which were imposed upon a King of England by a group of his subjects, with a view to limit his powers by law and protect their rights.
It is thought to be a precedent of sorts to the imposition of constitutional law in England, and eventually, the New World.
Who wrote the Magna Carta?
It was in 1215 when England's King John was staring at the prospect of an eventual rebellion by the country's powerful barons―thanks in part to years of dubious foreign policies and unjustified taxation.
The barons retaliated with a charter of liberties known as the Magna Carta that would place the King along with all of England's future sovereigns within a rule of law, thus safeguarding the interests of his courtiers. King John, under oath, placed his seal on the Magna Carta at Runnymede near Windsor on June 15, 1215, in an apparent state of duress.
Why was the Magna Carta important?
The original draft is understood to have undergone several significant changes―it was later altered and reissued in 1216, 1217, and 1225, eventually serving as the foundation for the English system of common law. It was much later that the Magna Carta would be revered by the Englishmen to be a symbol of freedom from oppression.
The document was also a source of inspiration to the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, who in 1776 looked to the charter as a valid precedent for asserting their liberty from the English colonialism.
Significance of Magna Carta
Only three of Magna Carta's clauses have stood the test of time; the rest became obsolete and were eventually repealed. The innate flexibility of the retained clauses has allowed them to be interpreted in a manner which has guaranteed their appeal and longevity.
Among three of the original clauses in Magna Carta that are still law, one defends the freedom and rights of the English church, whereas another confirms the liberties and customs of London and other towns. It is the third one that stands out, and this is what it says:
"No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled . nor will we proceed with force against him . except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land. To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice."
This statement of principle managed to escape attention for the longest time, but its message has been resounding enough to allow subsequent generations to gain inspiration from it.
In the fourteenth century, a respected jurist
Sir Edward Coke
drew parallels between (aristocratic) liberties and individual liberty. He was the one to oversee the framing of the
Petition of Right
, a landmark supplement to the liberties mentioned in the Magna Carta.
Englishmen traveling to the New World brought their sensibilities of liberty along with them, clearly reflected in the
Virginia Charter of 1606
and the
Massachusetts Body of Liberties
The first copy of the Magna Carta to be printed on American soil was in 1687 when William Penn published it in
The Excellent Privilege of Liberty and Property Being the Birth-Right of the Free-born Subjects of England
. Penn was more or less on the same page as Sir Edward Coke, insinuating the idea that Magna Carta was a fundamental law.
The colonists took notes from English law, and the Magna Carta in particular, to usher in concepts of trial by jury and
habeas corpus
, both of which have resonant echoes in the American Bill of Rights and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The Fifth Amendment in the Bill of Rights says:
"No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law."
The United States Constitution includes a writ in the Suspension Clause, article 1, section 9:
"The privilege of the writ habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it."
The Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution states:
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Magna Carta in its original form simply sought to retain feudal rights and administrative principles. Its actual legacy, however, lies in the fact that it clamped down on the king's authority by establishing that the law was an authority in its own right―applicable even to the king of the land.

HARTFORD, Conn. – Closing out the regular season with their seventh shutout of the year, the top-ranked Amherst College men's soccer team powered past Trinity College, 4-0, Wednesday evening at the Trinity Soccer Field to clinch the program's fourth undefeated regular season since 1998, and first since 2015, and the top-seed in the conference tournament for the sixth time in team history.
With the win, Amherst secures home field advantage throughout the NESCAC postseason and closes out the regular season with a 13-0-2 overall record and an 8-0-2 mark in conference play, while Trinity ends the 2019 season with a 1-13-1 ledger on the year (0-10-0 NESCAC). The Mammoths begin their postseason run this Saturday, Nov. 2 when they face off against eighth-seeded Wesleyan University (6-6-3) in a Quarterfinal bout at Hitchcock Field beginning at 12:30PM.
"The main target tonight was to head into the postseason with a shutout," commented head coach Justin Serpone. "Will Dunne made an amazing save in the first half to make that happen."
Extending the differential between himself and the second-ranked goal scorer in the conference to 10 markers, German Giammattei '22 potted his 18th goal of fall with an assist from Ignacio Cubeddu '23 10:28 into the battle. One-touching Cubeddu's dish past his defender to gain space, Giammattei ripped a right-footed shot from the top of the box into the lower left corner.
Registering his 10th assist on the season to tie his own Amherst single-season program record, senior Dane Lind connected with Giammattei in the 37th minute to give the Mammoths a 2-0 edge. Executing a give-and-go across the box, Giammattei chested down Lind's pass and one-timed a volley past the outstretched Bantams' keeper.
Keeping things rolling in the second half, Jimmy McMillian '20 netted his first goal of the year on an unassisted strike 7:38 into the stanza to push the visitor's lead to 3-0. Collecting a cross inside the box on to elicit a one-on-one, McMillian cut to his left and juked his defender before chipping a shot into the nylon, short-side.
"Jimmy McMillian has been such an important member of our team for the past four years," said Serpone. "He played great tonight and scored a great goal."
Notching his third hat trick of 2019 and second against a league foe, Giammattei capped off scoring at the 54:20 mark to lift the Mammoths to a 4-0 victory. Lofting a pass 30-yards downfield to the top of the goalie box, Dylan Steele '21 hit Giammattei who headed a shot over the line.
Dominating time of possession, the Mammoths owned the advantage in shots, 16-5, shots on frame, 8-3, and corner kicks.
Racking up three saves in between the pipes, Will Dunne '20 (2-0-0) earned the win for Amherst, while Andrew Clark (0-3-0) made four stops for Trinity is the loss.
"Everyone is 0-0 now starting with Saturday," Serpone concluded. "Wesleyan has had a really good season with some big results. We remember well what happened against them in 2015 so we're going to need to be as focused as possible if we want to advance to the following weekend."

THE GREAT MIDDLE EAST GAME, AND STILL NO WINNER August 27, 1989, Sunday, Late Edition - Final Section 7; Page 3, Column 1; Book Review Desk
By WM. ROGER LOUIS; Wm. Roger Louis is the Kerr Professor of English History and Culture at the University of Texas, Austin, and is a fellow of St. Antony's College, Oxford. His books include ''The British Empire in the Middle East.''
LEAD: A PEACE TO END ALL PEACE Creating the Modern Middle East 1914-1922. By David Fromkin. Illustrated. 635 pp. New York: Henry Holt & Company. $39.95.
A PEACE TO END ALL PEACE Creating the Modern Middle East 1914-1922. By David Fromkin. Illustrated. 635 pp. New York: Henry Holt & Company. $39.95.
The recent rerelease of David Lean's film ''Lawrence of Arabia'' enables audiences to relive Britain's World War I campaign to carve an independent Arab state out of the old Ottoman Empire. But even the new, expanded version of the film will leave viewers little the wiser about the reasons the British were supporting the Arabs, why the Ottoman Turks were allied with the Germans and what T. E. Lawrence was doing in the Arabian desert in the first place. Fortunately, people can now turn to an outstanding book that will provide them with the full historical and political background - and much more.
''A Peace to End All Peace'' is about the dissolution of the centuries-old Ottoman Empire at the close of World War I and the consequences of that breakup for the Western powers, the Soviet Union and, to a lesser extent, the peoples of the Middle East themselves. On a still larger scale, the book concerns the political origins of the present-day Middle East. It concludes with the piecemeal territorial settlements of 1922, when political lines were drawn that bear a striking resemblance to the boundaries of today.
These are heroic themes, seldom pursued collectively because of their complexity and the difficulty of seeing them whole. David Fromkin rises to the challenge. He combines the adventure of Alan Moorehead's ''White Nile'' with the drama of Barbara Tuchman's ''Guns of August.'' It would be an exaggeration to say that ''A Peace to End All Peace'' succeeds as well as those popular classics - indeed, it has a major flaw - but it rivals them.
Like Moorehead and Tuchman, Mr. Fromkin is a nonacademic historian (an international lawyer, in fact, though one would never guess it from his straightforward narrative style). Sometimes it requires an outsider to make the work of academic historians comprehensible to a general audience. And sometimes there are subjects about which so much has been written that one needs a single book to sum up everything cogently yet not simplistically. Mr. Fromkin scores on both points. Drawing on a vast number of specialized studies that have never before been satisfactorily synthesized, he is the right person at the right time.
From the Napoleonic era on, the broad arena of the Middle East was the battleground of Britain's struggle to protect the road to India from its traditional rivals, France and Russia. During the First World War this grand 19th-century contest, known as the ''Great Game,'' reached its climax; partly in fear of expansion by its wartime ally, Russia, Britain forged alliances with the Arabs, encouraging them to revolt against their Turkish rulers. ''A Peace to End All Peace'' is one of the first books to take an effective panoramic view of what was happening, not only in Egypt, Palestine, Turkey and the Arab regions of Asia, but also in Afghanistan and central Asia. Among the reasons for Mr. Fromkin's success is the breadth of his vision, which takes the reader deep into areas normally not associated with the Middle East.
The book is Anglocentric in the sense that it relies on English-language sources and focuses mainly on British military actions and decisions. Nevertheless, the Turkish and Russian parts of the story are effectively told, with the help of such work as that of Richard Ullman on Britain and the Russian Revolution. Mr. Fromkin successfully relates as well how the wartime competition between Britain and France over Syria, Lebanon and Palestine became part of the Great Game. After Gen. Sir Edmund Allenby marched into Jerusalem on Dec. 11, 1917, opening up Palestine to British occupation, hopes were raised in several Government offices throughout London that French claims in the area might be minimized.
Even when the British were fighting alongside the French and Russians against the Germans and Turks, the Great Game was never far from their minds. From the time of the outbreak of hostilities in 1914, Lord Kitchener, Britain's Secretary of State for War, aimed to obstruct the possible expansion of Russia into the Middle East. The Prime Minister, David Lloyd George, once likened Kitchener to ''a great revolving lighthouse.'' Sometimes, he said, Kitchener's intellect would project light, then there would be sudden darkness. He might have added that on the subject of Russian aggrandizement, the beam never shut off.
After Kitchener's death in 1916, Lord Curzon, former Viceroy of India, became ''guardian of the flame of the Great Game.'' Though Curzon was the most historically minded of the British statesmen during the First World War, his judgment was not especially reliable. He had a tendency to exaggerate. In 1918 he said, ''The great power from whom we have most to fear in [ the ] future is France.'' Two years later he claimed ''the Russian menace in the East is incomparably greater than anything else that has happened in my time to the British Empire.''
Yet it was Curzon, probably more than anyone else, who grasped the basis of self-determination, the principle on which the United States hoped to establish peace in the Middle East after the war. ''I am inclined to value the argument of self-determination,'' he said, ''because I believe that most of the people would determine in our favour. . . . If we cannot get out of our difficulties in any other way we ought to play self-determination for all it is worth wherever we are involved in difficulties with the French, the Arabs, or anybody else, and leave the case to be settled by that final argument knowing in the bottom of our hearts that we are more likely to benefit from it than anybody else.''
Not surprisingly, Mr. Fromkin characterizes British promises to the Arabs as ''sheer dishonesty.'' He says, for example, the Arab Bureau in Cairo ''did not believe that Arabs were capable of self-government,'' that behind the ''fac,ade'' of Arab self-rule would be indirect British rule.
Seen in this perspective, all parts of the Middle Eastern puzzle begin to fall into place, including the Balfour Declaration. In 1917 the British promised the Jews a national home in Palestine, while simultaneously assuring the Palestinian Arabs that the pledge would not be carried out at their expense. The Great Game was once again a key reason. According to Philip Kerr, secretary and adviser to the Prime Minister, a Jewish Palestine was considered ''a bridge between Africa, Asia and Europe on the road to India.'' (Other historians have pointed out that the Balfour Declaration was also designed to protect the Suez Canal. Mr. Fromkin seems not to have read Michael Cohen's ''Churchill and the Jews,'' for example, where Curzon is quoted as asking in 1918, ''Has not the whole history of the War shown us . . . that Palestine is really the strategic buffer of Egypt?'') Lloyd George himself held a somewhat different view, believing that a Jewish state would be agreeable to God's will as well as to British interests. His attitude should not be taken as hypocritical. ''Lloyd George's Zionism'' is the title of one of the best chapters in the book. Unlike most of his colleagues in the British Cabinet, who had been trained in Greek and Latin classics, the Prime Minister had been brought up on the Bible. He once said, in the words of I Samuel 15, that it would not be worth conquering the Holy Land only to ''hew it in pieces before the Lord.'' Lloyd George also believed that Palestine ''must be one and indivisible to renew its greatness as a living entity.'' All that did not prevent him from shrewdly foreseeing Britain's future in Palestine: ''We shall be there by conquest and shall remain,'' he predicted. Among the more obscure pieces of the puzzle is Sir Mark Sykes, the mastermind behind the redrawing of the boundaries of the Middle East and therefore, in a sense, the man most responsible for ''creating the modern Middle East.'' Mr. Fromkin has brought this relatively unknown statesman to light, making excellent use of the work of such scholars as Roger Adelson. Before the war, Sykes was one of the few members of Parliament who had traveled widely in the Middle East. He served as the Middle East expert to Kitchener and later to the War Cabinet secretariat. His goal, opposed by some anti-French members of the Government, was the construction of a French buffer zone in Lebanon and Syria as a sort of Chinese Great Wall that would prevent Russian penetration into the Middle East, just as the British, seeking to consolidate their Middle East holdings after World War II, welcomed American influence in Greece and Turkey as a check against Soviet expansion.
Sykes' ideas about the region bore a remarkable resemblance to those of T. E. Lawrence. Cautioning the reactionaries in the British Cabinet against treating the Middle East as another India, he warned: ''If you work from India you have all the old traditions of black and white, and you can not run the Arabs on black and white lines.'' Lawrence, similarly, wrote in 1919: ''My own ambition is that the Arabs should be our first brown dominion, and not our last brown colony.'' Mr. Fromkin does not do justice, in my opinion, to Lawrence's quirky brilliance, yet he does reduce the legend of ''Lawrence of Arabia'' to historical reality. ''Lawrence possessed many virtues,'' he writes, ''but honesty was not among them; he passed off his fantasies as the truth.'' Mr. Fromkin takes a jaundiced view of the romantic interpretation of Lawrence as the liberator of the Arabs, describing him as ''a teller of fantastic tales whom the American showman Lowell Thomas transformed into 'Lawrence of Arabia.' ''
One part of the jigsaw does not quite fit, Mr. Fromkin's insistence on Winston Churchill's central role in his story. He writes in the introduction, ''Churchill, above all, presides over the pages of this book: a dominating figure whose genius animated events and whose larger-than-life personality colored and enlivened them.'' Elsewhere, he seeks to demonstrate Churchill's contribution to the cause of Zionism, and indeed to resolving all the problems of the Middle Eastern settlement following the war. In 1921, Mr. Fromkin points out, the consistently pro-Zionist Churchill warned an Arab delegation: ''The British Government mean to carry out the Balfour Declaration. I have told you so again and again. I told you so at Jerusalem. I told you so at the House of Commons the other day. I tell you so now. They mean to carry out the Balfour Declaration. They do.''
Yet the theme of Churchill's centrality during the war cannot be sustained. He makes a major appearance at the beginning of the book, shortly before the war, and at the time of the Dardanelles campaign in 1914-15, but does not reappear in the Middle Eastern context until he becomes Colonial Secretary in 1921. Though committed to the Zionist cause, he was not a member of the War Cabinet in 1917, and though certainly on the fringes of Middle Eastern issues during the time of the British intervention in the Russian civil war following World War I, he did not participate in the decisions being made about the Middle East itself. In fact, Churchill himself once observed that Curzon was ''as responsible as any man alive for the promises that were given to the Jews and to the Arabs.''
It is important to get Churchill right, not only in the Middle East but also in the spirit of the time. In my own view, he was a throwback to an earlier age. He formed his attitudes toward Indians and other dependent peoples in the British Empire during the Victorian era and he never abandoned his early ideas, once writing in characteristic vein that the Egyptians were no more than degraded savages. He did not believe that the Arabs even in a thousand years could bring modern technology to Palestine. He imposed a Victorian sense of administrative parsimony at the Colonial Office, cutting costs by trying to rule the Middle East with armored cars, airplanes and machine guns. In the act for which he will probably always be remembered in the Middle East, he decided not to encourage the building of a Jewish national home on both sides of the Jordan River, and established instead the separate state to the east known today as Jordan.
What is particularly noteworthy about Churchill's role in these events is that he always participated in them with memorable ebullience and conviction. It is therefore curious that Mr. Fromkin writes, emphasizing the point with italics, that ''British policy-makers imposed a settlement upon the Middle East in 1922 in which, for the most part, they themselves no longer believed.'' Not so. Churchill's own words indicate the contrary. As Colonial Secretary in 1922, he stated to a group of Palestinian Arabs that a national home for the Jews in Palestine ''will be good for the world, good for the Jews, good for the British Empire.'' He added that it would also be ''good for the Arabs who dwell in Palestine.'' This was still an age of great confidence. To read pessimism or defeat in the ideas of the British at this time is the flaw of this book. It is to project the post-World War II spirit into an earlier era.
This criticism does not detract from Mr. Fromkin's overall achievement. It merely reinforces the axiom that a worthy book can be based on a misguided premise. Readers will come away from ''A Peace to End All Peace'' not only enlightened but challenged - challenged in a way that is brought home by the irony of the title. The phrase comes from Archibald Wavell, later Lord Wavell, who became Viceroy of India in World War II. He believed that Churchill harbored obsolete Victorian ideas about the Middle East and India, and, in addition, possessed neither the temperament nor the tenacity to deal positively with virtually insoluble problems over a long period. Wavell thought that peace in the Middle East had been imposed by men who knew little of the peoples or problems of the region, and that the sponsoring of a Jewish national home would be a source of endless trouble. Wavell and Churchill were at loggerheads on these issues in 1945. The problems have not become any easier since. THE BRITISH EMPIRE, WRONG AGAIN
A friend once challenged David Fromkin to name the historical turning points of the modern Middle East. Mr. Fromkin's first reaction was to recall the events just after World War I. His more thoughtful reply is ''A Peace to End All Peace,'' a book that took him 10 years to complete.
Originally he intended a slender work. ''But of course books write themselves and I kept having to go back,'' he said in a telephone interview from the Greek island of Syme, where he was vacationing.
While writing, Mr. Fromkin found it necessary to focus constantly on Winston Churchill, poring through his war cables and private papers. ''One feels privileged,'' he said, ''being able to look at the 20th century through his eyes, always at the center of events, living a life much bigger than the life I or any of my friends lead.''
Mr. Fromkin, 56 years old, did not always plan to write history. A graduate of the University of Chicago Law School, he began a career with a Wall Street law firm. ''My first day's work,'' he said, ''was for a then-junior partner - Cyrus Vance.'' In the years to come he would work closely with other policy makers and politicians, and in the 1972 Democratic Presidential primary campaign he was chief of foreign policy for Hubert H. Humphrey.
That political experience, he said, gave him a rich sense of the false assumptions under which governments sometimes labor. But nothing prepared him for how misguided the British Empire was in the Middle East. ''Again and again,'' he said, ''they were hopelessly wrong.'' J.R. MOEHRINGER

Although the main reason for going to a restaurant is to eat, a restaurant's interior can also keep customers coming. The establishment's interior design says a lot about how much thought you put into its construction.
Dawnvale specialises in restaurant design and can do wonders when it comes to a restaurant's interior design. Opening a restaurant is probably a lifelong dream but professionals will help you make a better restaurant than you thought possible.
If you want customer experience and satisfaction to be the best it can be, it would be helpful if you know what the most vital elements of a restaurant's interior design are. Knowing this will not only help you hire interior designers but it will also help you come with ideas for the design.
The crucial elements of a restaurant's interior design include:
A Consistent Theme
Coming up with a theme for your restaurant is paramount to its interior design. You should already have decided on a theme before starting the design process.
Themes vary widely and it can be challenging to pick one. You should pick out that feels authentic and is obvious to the type of clientele you want in your restaurant. The theme should be clear as soon as customers walk in through the door.
Your restaurant's theme will play a big role in creating the venue's ambience. It will also be a crucial aspect of what sets your restaurant apart from the competition.
Acoustics and Sound
You should also seriously consider the venue's acoustics when designing a restaurant. The sounds in a restaurant can be a telling factor about the atmosphere in the venue.
Depending on what you are going for, you should have customers placed in a quiet place where they cannot easily hear the next table. Many people like their privacy when they eat.
Acoustics are also important if you plan on playing music in your restaurant. It will determine where you place your speakers, the music you play and how loud the music is. There is also a lot of current research about how sounds affect our food and you should do your research to ensure customers have the best dining experience possible.
It is often said that the hand knows where the mouth is. However, you should ensure that your customers can see their food properly or risk losing a lot of business.
You can choose to have either natural lighting or artificial lighting in your restaurant. You can even blend the two but the choice will often be determined by location.
The right lighting can boost the ambience of your restaurant. This is especially the case if you have bright colors that liven up the place.
Furniture will factor a great deal in your restaurant's design. Your customers will be seated for the most part so what they sit on is crucial.
The best way to fit furniture into your restaurant's interior design is to match it to the theme and go for comfort. On the other hand, you can offer variety if you want to attract a wide blend of customers.
Tables are also a part of the restaurant's furniture and an important part of the design. They should fit the space while also being appealing.

Cutting through SIEM/Log Management vendor hype
While there is little doubt that SIEM solutions are critical for compliance, security monitoring or IT optimization, it is getting harder for buyers to find the right product for their needs. The reason for this is two fold; firstly, there are a number of products available and vendors have done a great job of making their products sound roughly the same in core features such as correlation, reporting, collection, etc. and secondly, vendors are too busy differentiating on shiny features that in many cases have little or nothing to do with core functionality. This is not surprising. It is easier to spin a shiny feature than slug it out on whose product actually meets core requirements.
SIEM solutions, in reality, are optimized for different use-cases and one size never fits all. The good news is that with the number of potential solutions to choose from, if you do your homework, you will find a product that meets your requirements. So how do you cut through all the vendor claims and hype and select the right solution for your environment and needs?

The lowdown on zero-day attacks
By definition, zero-day attacks always beat anti-virus vigilantes to the punch. That's because these destructive viruses are able to exploit unknown, undisclosed or newly discovered computer application vulnerabilities before a software developer is able to release a patch to the public — which can render anti-virus programs practically ineffective.
