Fashioning Modernity: "Art and independence Among Yorubas in Nigeria"
Allison Martino and her students curate Fashioning Modernity: "Art and Independence among Yorubas in Nigeria".
Students in Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Africana Studies Allison Martino's course African Art and Visual Culture (AFRS 2250/ARTH 2350) curated the Bowdoin Museum of Art exhibit Fashioning Modernity: Art and Independence among Yorubas in Nigeria as part of their coursework. This exhibition examines innovations in Yoruba arts - at once traditional and modern - during a critical moment in Nigeria's history, the transition to political independence. It runs January 17-March 17, 2019.

On Friday, 12th May 2017 a global cyber-attack hit 150 countries including the UK. 47 NHS organisations were affected in England and 13 in Scotland, creating widespread chaos and confusion.
This recent event has made people question their own cyber security measures and whether they are able to prevent such attacks. It is useful to take precautions when storing important data on your systems, no matter how small or big.
Below are some simple and easy tips you can do to protect your machines from any future viruses.
Every piece of software you use will have some security issues, it's inevitable. Windows, Chrome, Firefox, Adobe, Internet Explorer and so on. A lot of these operating systems and programs have automatic updates which is recommended you leave these on. From a security perspective, keeping your computer up-to-date will keep it safe from online threats. I understand that updates can be very annoying, however, for the sake of protecting your data I think it is a worthy compromise.
Antivirus and Anti-Malware
It doesn't matter which one you have, you must use it regardless. Windows Defender, which is a built in firewall for Windows is a perfect, free and simple program to use. Anti-Malware programs can help to assist with the antivirus and are also recommended. When set up properly, these firewalls protect your computer files from being scanned.
You need to make sure you are using strong passwords. This is vital, people nowadays use the same passwords for everything, which makes it very easy for anyone to hack into your systems and get a hold of your data. You need to have a separate password for everything, you also need to make sure your password isn't obvious. A good password will have a combination of letters, numbers and special characters. This doesn't just go for accounts etc. this means passwords to your laptop, computer and phone. Last but not least, always change your passwords on a regular basis.
Be well aware of phishing emails, even from people you know. They may have a virus themselves. Never click on a link in an email, if you want to investigate further, copy and paste the link into notepad and examine the address. If the email states that it is "google.com" however the actual link address says "google.clickme.com". This is suspicious, and you should not open it.
Downloads and Pop-Ups
Any programs or software you download must be done from a well-known, trustworthy site. For example, if you need to download Adobe Flash, go to the official Adobe website and download it from there. Do not click on any other advertisements or banners saying that they can be downloaded. Always stick to those that are secure. The same goes for pop-ups; do not click on any that request you to download any programs you think you may already have. You might get a pop-up from a website asking you to update google chrome, do not click on this. Double check on your google chrome browser settings for updates, and update it from there.
You should be backing up your data on a regular basis. Monthly back-ups are a good idea, even if it means doing this on an external hard drive or USB. It is easier to retrieve the data if lost or stolen. Keep this back-up of data separate from your computer or laptop, just in case anything is taken. You may already know this, but you must never leave your laptop/phone/tablet unattended in public. It is so easy for someone to get a hold of it. At most, they have your expensive laptop (if you have followed all the protocols above they shouldn't be able to hack your password). Although, if you leave it logged on, you have literally given the public access to your private, personal data. Please BE AWARE.

Read - Research - Relax
sums up the library program at Eldorado High School. Heather Dahl, school librarian, elaborated in her presentation at the Vision Tour celebration. Read meant that students and teachers had checked out over 17,000 books this year so far. A very active student book club has read 200 YA novels in two years. New Nook e-readers were just obtained via a grant and the proud and knowledgeable student aides were putting on demonstrations for visitors and faculty alike.
For research, Heather noted that 541 classes had also been to the library and logged 2.5 million minutes on Gale databases and completed 8,569 JSTOR searches on the library's website which is available 24/7. The statistics are impressive - all librarians should keep note of them.
Relaxation comes in the form of about 3000 students visiting the library independently this year and loving the accessibility and the "safe place" that is the library. Case in point is Cheyenne, a student who has checked out 100 books this semester.
Teachers, like Ms. Kahl who teaches English, talked passionately about why the teachers at Eldorado value independent readers and how it prepares them to be comfortable in an academic setting. She demonstrated through a video her class had created on their "top three books."
Heather was plugged into using technology to support learning goals. I had been a little familiar with VOKI before but saw it used very creatively at Eldorado. The math class used it to create avatars that recited math poems. Students who are hesitant to present on their own seemed to be quite comfortable having a proxy through VOKI do the presenting. I may incorporate this into my own graduate classes, particularly the London multimedia production class.
Heather Dahl is building a culture of reading at Eldorado High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

'Social Shopping Boosts E-Commerce In Nigeria'
THE integration of e-commerce into Facebook, coupled with plans in place by other social networks to follow suit, has gradually forced many brands to adjust their social media marketing strategies.
Arguably, social media has become a significant tool for marketers over a period of time because many Nigerians now shop online for many products.
According to Kaymu's Head of Social Media and Community Africa, Abiola Fabio, "social shopping is a breakthrough on how products are marketed and sold to consumers. Among the social networks, Facebook dominates as a source of social traffic and sales and accounts for over 36,000 orders on Kaymu in the first quarter of this year".
In a statement made available to The Guardian by the Head, PR and Offline Marketing of Kaymu, Tomiwa Oladele, Fabio further argued: "The growing popularity of social shopping in Nigeria, should foster alignment of e-commerce industry into the trend with a view to provide best shopping experience for their current and prospective consumers.
"Kaymu is one of the leading shopping community where buyers and sellers meet and make the best deals for used or new products, such as mobile phones, laptops, latest fashion and clothing products, and home appliances," the statement added.

Eight time increased MDM2 mRNA expression. From
Eight core circadian genes have
been identified. They are: Casein kinase 1? (CK1?); Cryptochrome1 (Cry1)
and Chryptochrome2 (Cry2); Period1 (Per1),
Period2 (Per2), and Period3 (Per3); Clock;
and Bmal1. The three Per genes encode
PER-ARNT-SIM (PAS) domain proteins that function in the nucleus but do not
directly bind to DNA. The Clock and Bmal1 genes
encode basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-PAS transcription factors. The levels of
mRNAs and proteins of these genes, except those of Clock and CK1?, oscillate
robustly during 24 hr circadian periods(1).
In this article, we will take the PER2 as an example of circadian gene
and its relationship with oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes based on recent
studies. In one study they first silenced PER2 expression in SCC15 human OSCC (oral squamous cell carcinoma) cells,
and, after PER2 silence, they found that the SCC15 cells not only change in
cell cycle progression, proliferation, and apoptosis but also greatly elevated
the cell metastasis, invasion, and tumorigenic ability in vivo. It is suggested
that PER2 also regulate the genes related to cancer cell metastasis, invasion,
and tumor angiogenesis. The same study
showed evidences that PER2 silence in SCC15 (cell line name) cancer cells
upregulates expression of Ki-67, MDM2, c-Myc, Bcl-2, MMP2(a crucial gene and
can cause cancer invasion and metastasis) and VEGF mRNA and downregulates
expression of p53, Bax, and TIMP-2(is a major inhibitor of MMP2) mRNA. p53 is
an important tumor suppressor gene involved in DNA repair, cell cycle, tumor
angiogenesis, and other biological processes. MDM2 is the most vital molecule
regulating p53 concentration and activity and destroys p53 protein via
ubiquitination. PER2 downregulation decreased p53 mRNA expression and at the
same time increased MDM2 mRNA expression. From transcription level it has been
proved that PER2 knockdown can promote cell malignant transformation. Ki-67 and
c-Myc are vital genes that promote cell proliferation, and Bax and Bcl-2 are
essential genes that promote cell apoptosis and anti-apoptosis, respectively. The
same study proved that PER2 plays an important regulatory role in cell
proliferation and apoptosis. It is now considered that PER2 can regulate cell
cycle genes, sequentially, producing a close relationship with the occurrence
of cancers. This study further found that PER2 at the same time controls
numerous important downstream tumor-related genes of cell proliferation,
apoptosis, metastasis, invasion, and tumor angiogenesis, that is, Ki-67, MDM2,
c-Myc, p53, Bax, Bcl-2, MMP2, VEGF, and TIMP-2.(2)

When I was a kid, my mother, feeding a congenitally fussy eater, would say to me, "Last is best", although never about anything I enjoyed and was happy to have a last bite of. It was more, "Sweetheart, I know you hate tinned prunes, but forget your culinary predilections for a moment and consider the magical properties of this final bite." That wasn't exactly what she said to me – I was four – but that was substantially the gist. I used to force the stuff down just to get her to stop talking. Her maternal credibility was on the line and she was blowing it on tinned prunes. To me, "last" was only "best" because after that, I was finished eating the stuff.
And yet, here I am, going back a number of weeks to a post I thought was completed but like the last bite of steak found under the spinach I discovered later was not. There was one more thing to tell you, but, somehow, I didn't. Just in case last is indeed best, however, I did not want you to miss out. Though I remain skeptical of the entire "last is best" proposition. Still, just in case.
I wrote a post, in response to a reader's comment concerning the unnecessary use of bad language and my momentary lapse into that hellacious abyss. Though my retroactive evaluation leaned heavily in the commenter's direction, my position was – and remains – that I maintain the right to break out the "potty mouth" when deemed unavoidably necessary.
In that regard, I adhere to the dictum of the child-rearing professional who, on the issue of spanking, opined, "If you make the decision never to spank your children you will spank them exactly the right amount."
Ditto for me and curse words. No need to gratuitously throw 'em around, but on rare occasions, they are still going to slip out. Otherwise, when the missiles come rocketing in from North Korea, I will have nothing available to me but "Oh, Fudge!"
Lenny Bruce made his bones promoting a contrary belief. Lenny frequently got arrested for "obscenity", making the point through his behavior that it is ridiculous to waste police and the court's time and money, wrangling transgressions of language. (Especially with that pesky First Amendment of the constitution on the books.)
Lenny Bruce argued comedically that words are just words, promoting the idea that rather than refraining assiduously from uttering them, if we repeated those "dirty" words over and over again ad nauseum, they would be released of their odious aroma and eventually no one would bat a judgmental eyelash when they emerged.
He then proceeded to say (INSERT OFFENSIVE EXPLETIVE HERE) again and again until he got arrested, his acted-out underlying philosophy,
"If words became harmless, the cops could spend more time arresting drug dealers. Oh, wait. Not drug dealers. I meant crooked politicians." (Historical Note: Because Lenny Bruce took drugs.)
Imagine Lenny Bruce's comedy act as a game of "Mad Libs", but using the same word in all the spaces, sometimes as a noun, sometimes as an adjective. He would be telling a story,
"I was on stage here last night, doing my innocuous comedy act, and the (INSERT OFFENSIVE EXPLETIVE HERE, AS AN ADJECTIVE) cops come in and those (INSERT OFFENSIVE EXPLETIVE HERE, AS A NOUN) drag me off the (INSERT OFFENSIVE EXPLETIVE HERE, AS AN ADJECTIVE) stage, and the whole time they are carting me off to the "Paddy Wagon", I'm going, "(INSERT OFFENSIVE EXPLETIVE HERE, AS A NOUN… INSERT OFFENSIVE EXPLETIVE HERE, AS A NOUN… INSERT OFFENSIVE EXPLETIVE HERE, AS A NOUN… INSERT OFFENSIVE EXPLETIVE HERE, AS A NOUN… INSERT OFFENSIVE EXPLETIVE HERE, AS A BUTTONING INTERJECTION!)"
Note: I believe that would have been funnier using the actual curse word, but I am working with certain parameters here. The point is, Lenny Bruce was literally performing his thesis. He repeated a socially unacceptable word onstage until it, in his mind at least, inevitably lost its meaning, and, therefore, power to offend.
That was Lenny Bruce's message. And this is my belated "last bite" observation.
If all the curse words that Lenny Bruce used in his act, words that brought him money, notoriety, fame and attention as America's foremost comedian/slash truth- teller…
If those words became a commonly used part of our everyday patois, no longer special, no longer provocative of a negative response…
Lenny Bruce would be out of a career.
Lenny Bruce needed those curse words. (INSERT OFFENSIVE EXPLETIVE HERE) was his reliable meal ticket. "Normalize" that word and its salacious co-conpirators and he's out of a job, and I'm out of parentheses.
"Hi, I'm the guy who says (INSERT OFFENSIVE EXPLETIVE HERE)."
"Thanks to you, we all say (INSERT OFFENSIVE EXPLETIVE HERE). So take a hike."
How come nobody ever did that joke?
"I made my point, but I put myself out of business. Motherf…! Aaaah, nobody cares anymore."
Anyway, I just thought I would deliver that last bite.
It was a pretty good bite.
Though I cannot say it was the best one.

What client side bots can be run on my hub?
- Ragnarok is a tool for OPs. It
connects to the hub and scans each user for know Fake Sharing methods
(hiding DC++ tag / fake shares / useless files / refusing connection /
etc.). It is still beta so its not 100% correct, simply means the OP should
verify the person themselves before a kick/ban. Hasn't been updated for
over a year!
- Kerberos is a hub owner
tool. It can be used as a substitute for many scripts on a hub. It can check
for useless files (windows and program files directories), sick porn, large
VOB's, min/max slots/shares, etc.
- DirectConnect's Big
Brother is a client checking bot for DirectConnect networks. It logs in
to a DirectConnect Hub as a normal client. It can download filelists, check
for forbidden files, client functionality (eg: answering search requests).
Every detail is stored in a MySQL database.
- DC Hub-Link allows
multiple Direct Connect Hubs to be linked so that users connected to any of
those hubs see all users on all linked hubs as part of a larger virtual hub.
This is done by having a script in each Hub that interacts with the Hub-Link
Bot. The Bot signs on to each of the Hubs as a "user" and relays activity
between the hubs.
Angel Bot. More info
Evil Bot More info
- DCBB client checker
Bacheca BOT
- StatBot - StatBot is a bot for the Direct Connect Network. It collects info from hubs and publish it on a website. The perfect bot for updating your network website with live info from all hubs.

Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) and numerous providers and staff across the organization submitted robust and compelling public comment letters in response to the Federal Government's proposed change to the public charge rule recently. This proposed regulation, if adopted, would alter longstanding immigration policies that allow people to participate in essential health, nutrition, and housing programs without jeopardizing their immigration status, such as green card or visa applications.
If finalized, it would negatively impact more than 500,000 Massachusetts residents who are lawfully present immigrants, many of our patients, and our mission. CHA strongly opposes this proposal and is part of a national effort to urge that it be withdrawn. Nationally, over 216,000 comments were submitted, far exceeding the 100,000 goal. Click here to read CHA's submission to the Federal Government in opposition to this proposal that was submitted last week.
U.S. Senators Edward Markey and Elizabeth Warren mentioned CHA in their own transmittal in opposition to this rule change. Specifically, they mentioned a WBUR opinion piece co-authored by CHA Everett Care Center physician Elissa Poorman, MD, that brought attention to the life and death choices immigrants are faced with in response to this proposal. Click here to read their comments.
It is important for patients to continue accessing their benefits and health care during this time. Nothing has changed, and any future changes will not be retroactive. Advocacy on behalf of our patients and communities is a critical component of CHA's mission. A tremendous thank you to everyone involved in efforts to support our patients.

Cryptopia Resumes Trading on 40 Pairs With 14% 'HAIRCUT' on BTC, 43% on LTC and 100% on ETH
New Zealand cryptocurrency exchange which went through a major security breach in the beginning of the year. The venue later announced that hackers have managed to steal as much as 9.4 %of its total holdings in the 'worst case.'
Now, a couple of months following the attack, the exchange is attempting to get back on its feet.
Cryptopia resumed trading on 40 cryptocurrency trading pairs, all of which are quantified as 'secure.' A list of the supported pairs can be found here.
Additionally, in an email sent to impacted customers, the exchange revealed its plan for compensating their losses.
The email says that if a user has held a balance in coins which were lost, they will start to see withdrawals on their accounts for the respective coins. Their transaction IDs, however, won't exist on the network but will outline how the coin was impacted during the attack.
As well, the email also outlines that impacted users will eventually get a "rebate," while also detailing the following:
For each withdraw you will also see a subsequent deposit of Cryptopia Loss Marker(CLM), the TXID for this will also not exist on a network but will detail the coin it represents a loss for. CLM is not a coin, it can't be traded as yet, it is just a number in the database that represents the loss for each coin for each user in $NZD at the time of the event.
At the time of this writing, there's no further explanation provided regarding the reimbursement and the exchange has said there are more steps to take to guarantee its legality.
Regardless of the reassurances given by the exchange, concerns stem out of its recently released information page regarding the current status of securing their wallets.
According to that page, Bitcoin is currently 86 % secured and will receive a 'haircut' of 14 %. Litecoin (LTC), on the other hand, is supposedly going to get a 43 % haircut.
The situation gets worse with Ethereum (ETH), which hasn't been secured and faces a 100 % haircut.
Cryptopia hasn't clarified what a 'haircut' means in the light of the recent events. However, some users are reporting that they've received most of their BTC back, while also getting CLM tokens in the amount of the stipulated 'haircut.'

Welcome to the internet!
When my daughters ask me "What are clouds made of?", I will reply with the now classic joke "Mostly Linux servers".
Cloud hosting is another fantastic abstraction in the world of computers. Much in the same way electronic spreadsheets abstracted the paper spreadsheet (increasing the flexibility, automation, and general usefulness of spreadsheets) cloud computing has done that with physical servers, breaking them down into virtual servers (sometimes called Virtual Private Servers or VPS) to help free us from some of the hardships of dealing with the real world.
But what is it?
The cloud has been used to describe a few VPS running on a single host to an interconnected string of computers/servers/hardware across continents that coming together to bring you a part of the internet. Essentially the cloud is used to describes where the internet infrastructure gets fuzzy. Your website lives on a physical server (in this case Montreal) which is then connected to switches, routers, firewalls, servers and so much glass to bring the content to your home. The path it takes can be traced, monitored, rerouted, and optimized but for any part of that journey, we don't specifically want to describe it can be referred to as the cloud.
Cloud providers capitalize on the flexibility of modern computing to move as much physical architecture as we can to the digital side, allowing for rapid changes, automation, and distribution of deployment responsibilities. In some situations where it would take an IT department weeks to set up a demo, and months to fully implement a solution cloud infrastructure can offer 100% turnkey solutions at any scale.
We can go into detail about various clouds, what they are made of, and how they accomplish their goals. But that is boring and nerd stuff, so let's keep that for the forum. The takeaway from the article is that "cloud" is a fancy buzzword for describing computing and network infrastructure you don't want to describe.

Time and again, we see technologies developed for military use ultimately finding their way into, and benefiting, commercial and research applications. The same is true of adhesives, says MasterBond, citing its thermally stable epoxies as an example. The epoxies meet the requirements for thermal stability set out in ASTM D3850-12 per MIL-STD-883J Section 3.5.2 & 3.8.5 for military applications.
As a result, epoxies meeting the standard can be relied on for use at high temperatures, but MasterBond comments that the service temperature range, thermal cycling speed, and other factors may come into play. Civilian uses include the epoxies' potential use in satellites, lasers, or oil-drilling equipment as well as electronics and automobile manufacture.
While military-grade adhesives have been developed to tolerate extreme conditions, MasterBond recommends consultation with adhesive manufacturers to ensure the choice of products with the correct specifications for specific applications and manufacturing processes.

Engagement in the stadium is dependent upon the quality of the fan experience. Luckily for marketers, sports teams hold the fan experience in the highest regard; the fans are the lifeblood of the organization, the ultimate benefactor. In line with this philosophy, each fan culture is unique. Yesterday's article from MediaPost begins to take a look at some of the factors which influence the fan experience and how coupling them may provide an index for each team's impact within this area. Jon Last, President of Sports & Leisure Research Group, a partner of InStadium, outlines the theory in the write-up, found below.

I'm also thinking of the QECP Enduro event on the 11th, I've never even seen an Enduro event let alone raced one. I bought a new Fuel Ex 29er last year and have really being enjoying my mountain biking again. I have a couple of questions about this specific event.
Do I need body armour? What about a full face helmet?
Are glasses OK or should I wear goggles?
I have knee / arm pads and a helmet with a clip on chin guard, no goggles though.Posted 1 year ago
Check the entry, but you possibly need knee pads. Open face helmet is fine.
Glasses or goggles, or nothing, up to you.Posted 1 year ago
@El Vino
Any helmet is fine but for your first race stick the chin bar on for a bit of extra confidence.
Gloves, knee pads, elbow pads and glasses is what I would wear. I have goggles and very rarely race in them.Posted 1 year ago
Signed up for the QECP Enduro on the 11th with a friend haven't done anything like this before but should be a good laugh, the last two posts have helped cheers.Posted 1 year ago
Might make my long-awaited (by nobody) enduro comeback next year, thinking about PMBA Kirroughtree. Anyone who's raced it care to comment?Posted 1 year ago
done kirroughtree for the last 3 years, always been a good fun event. not the most elevation or miles but mostly good stages.
makes a good weekend doing a bit of practicing on the saturday, into town for some food and a few beers then practice and race sunday.Posted 1 year ago
Southern QECP mashup this weekend
Its currently pissing it down, and more to come on friday.
Recalling my last wet QECP where I couldn't ride an off camber traverse due to back wheel slipping down, I'm thinking a tyre change is in order. Shorty front Minion rear?
For El Vino – I'll be wearing a fox proframe, soft knee and elbow pads (none of which are compulsory, I'm a mid to lower pack mincer). Probably no goggles.Posted 1 year ago
If I was doing it, I would probably run something grippy on the front, it's going to be slip & slide day out there.
Just noticed there is another Mini Enduro @ BPW at the start of next month. Will probably end up doing that as a last race for the year 🙂Posted 1 year ago
QECO mashup for me too this weekend. Minion DHF front aggressor rear not sure i'm going to be pointing forward much, it's gonna be a muddy one.Posted 1 year ago
Doing my first Enduro at QECP this weekend too. Still no idea how the format works. I know about the 3 stages that you do as many times as you want but donyou just turn up at the start ofnthe stages of is there a start from the Race village? Any pointers would be great please.Posted 1 year ago

So it looks like us mere mortals are no longer allowed into the 'main event' – I didn't bother with a membership for the last couple of years as I was only planning on doing the odd one & managed to get in via a lottery. Need to be ranked now to race, which is fair enough, given it's the highest level, i'm amazed they have let the people they do over the past few years, with the increase in standard of riding & how much tougher they have become.
Looks like the EWS100 replaces they lottery, racing the same as the main event, but a little more relaxed on the rules & the EWS80 replaces the challenger events. All on a first come, first served basis.
I will probably buy a membership this time & plan on doing 2/3 of them this year (Whistler, Les Orres & Zermatt) & see if I can bag enough points to race a few of the main events the year after 🙂Posted 1 year ago

Start from the race village. You need to collect your timing chip. I would imagine being a mash up, its then a free for all. You just ride around as many times as you like.Posted 1 year ago
I think I might give it a skip, my worst ever crash was in the QECP and that wasn't racing in the wet. Might just stick to Surrey Hills this weekend.Posted 1 year ago
Start from the race village at 10. You need to collect your timing chip 9 till 10. You just ride around as many times as you like, stages in any order, ride stages a minimum of two times.Posted 1 year ago
Cheers. Sounds simple.Posted 1 year ago
Some good work has been done to make the sport more inclusive in the past couple of years, this article is about women but I think it applies to u18s and beginners too.

Women-only enduros are making racing female-friendly, but why's it taken so long?
@chakaping Really enjoyed it, think it was three years ago now but Im guessing the trails will be almost the same. Very loamy, some short steep stuff but on the whole its not that technical.
Im entering Boltby Bash, Ardmoors, and naughty northumbrian and maybe a PMBA.Posted 1 year ago
I've finally admitted that I just can't be arsed. Will probably do the kinlochleven enduro (missed it this round)…
Oh and MC's bullied me into doing this wee thing, what's it called, Mega something…Posted 1 year ago
Cheers Darren, Bigfoot. Sounds like my kind of thing.
There's been talk of doing one of the Tweed Valley ones, but after riding GT off-piste and the Golfie again last week, I just don't reckon I'd enjoy racing that tight, steep, dark, single-line rut kinda stuff.Posted 1 year ago
Might just leave this here: http://southernenduro.co.uk/southern-enduro-2019/

Not done any racing other than a couple of local XC ones about 3 years ago.
Hoping to have a go at a couple of the Welsh Enduro Series events next year and possibly the Malverns Funnduro.

BEMBA National Enduro Series 2019 Dates and Venues announced
The big news we have all been waiting for 2019 BEMBA National Enduro Series Dates and Venues.Posted 1 year ago
With some family commitments going on next year, I wasn't thinking I'd be able to do much racing but 3 of the rounds are almost certainly doable, one is almost certainly a no (PMBA) and the Southern Enduro round is a tentative :-(. Really hope the No Fuss Events round works out for me but I'd be gutted to miss Minehead seeing as that would be my 'home' race!
Can't wait to hear more about the SW Series too!Posted 1 year ago
Excellent! I'd figured out a few rounds, and am enterd in to the graythaite round already. I'm planning to do all rounds this year. The southern champs was one of my favourite races last year, so it will be good to do that again.Posted 1 year ago
Just a thought, will there be seeding runs in the BEMBA races? I hope so, as i find seedings work very well. I was only caught on one stage last year, and only caught someone on one stage.Posted 1 year ago
No seeding runs but it will be seeded from root and rain data. We are working closed with Seb From Roots and rain for Results, Series points, Stats and Seeding data.Posted 1 year ago
blackmountainsrider For reference, I personally like seeding run too but all the other rounds won't have seeding and I thought continuity was important so we dropped it from the Southern enduro champs.Posted 1 year ago
ok, so will the seedings be based from the start of the season, or will they evolve to take injuries etc into account? I had bad results at the start of the year, and better results at the end due to injuries. Then there's a friend who was a midpack rider at the ukge, in seniors on a hardtail, but is racing next year on a full sus. Fingers crossed it works ok.Posted 1 year ago

New License Plate Requirements for Vehicles in CaliforniaDec 21, 18 by Jorian Goes
All California Cars Must Have License Plates
New license plate requirements will take effect in California starting January 1st, Assembly Bill 516 signed by Governor Jerry Brown in 2016 states, "It requires dealers to place temporary tags on cars, instead of paper advertisements. Drivers who use temporary tags assigned to other cars, or manufacture a temporary license plate, would face felony charges if they're caught."
License plate requirements before the starting effect of January 1st were as followed, "dealers issued drivers a numbered report-of-sale document and submit a registration application to the DMV which then the DMV would issue two plates. Drivers are responsible for putting the plates to a newly purchased or leased vehicle within 90 days of their purchase date." In the year's prior, drivers had 180 days to install a license plate to newly purchased or leased vehicles. Some issues came with allowing so much time to put plates averaging to 6 months, it allowed individuals to catch on and trade in vehicles before the time period expired, by doing this it gave individuals another 6 months to drive without a license on their newly purchased or leased vehicle.
California Requires Two Plates Per Vehicle
The new license plate requirements not only will stop individuals from taking advantage of the long periods of driving without plates, but it also will cut down on parking and toll evaders and reduce toll revenue by approximately $15 million a year. Currently, 35 other states require temporary license plates.
In a recent, devastating crime an unidentified man who killed Newman Police Officer Ronil Singh, was driving a truck with paper plates that read "AR Auto". The passing of Assembly Bill 516 could help police identify vehicles in crimes like this one. These temporary plates will allow police officers to punch in the numbers provided in the plates and it should show up the registration of who bought that vehicle.
Assemble Bill 516 Provides Stability for Law Enforcement
People want to know exactly what this new bill is going to accomplish? As provided by the DMV website, AB 516 will assist law enforcement in two ways, through safety issues for law enforcement and toll evasion. Safety issues that law enforcement dealt with before AB 516 was the unavailability to identify a vehicle that may have been involved in a crime before law enforcement approaches it, and the difficulty to investigate crimes involving vehicles.
Crackdown on Parking and Toll Evasions
Toll evasion is a big issue that local governments dealt with before AB 516 took effect, dealing with up to $15 million in lost revenue annually. The way in which all this revenue was lost is because, newly purchased or newly leased cars could be driven without license plates for a period of time 90 days, allowing some individuals to cross tolls without paying, because no documentation of plates were taken making it hard to identify the individuals.
In conclusion, AB 516 is in effect now and the new guidelines are being imposed. With all the new advantages this new bill will bring many more changes will occur and assist law enforcement and parking/toll agencies in many more ways.

A 5-Step Skin-Care Routine for Beauty Minimalists
If you're searching for tips on how to build an effective skin-care routine that won't consume hours of your day, we're sharing an easy, five-step system that can fit into even the busiest of schedules, ahead!
Let's face it, that ten-step skin-care routine is great but for minimalists, it can feel like ten steps too many. If you're the kind of person who prefers to keep it simple, you're going to want to adopt this routine ASAP!
A Minimalist's Skin-Care Routine
With a minimalist skin-care routine, you'll only want to concern yourself with the essentials. The goal is to boil your skin-care routine down to just a few key steps without sacrificing results. Below, we're detailing each step of a minimalist skin-care routine and offering some of our favorite product recommendations.
Step 1: Cleanse
Put down your makeup remover wipe, oil cleanser and water cleanse — forget about doing a double or triple cleanse. Instead, reach for a product that can replace all of that: Lancôme Crème Radiance, a clarifying cream-to-foam cleanser for normal and combination skin types. The award-winning cleanser is formulated with antioxidant white lotus and rose de France and helps to purify the skin, dissolve impurities and gently remove even waterproof makeup. Massage over a wet face and neck and rise away with lukewarm water.
Step 2: Moisturize (and Protect!)
Toners, essences, serums and more: Sure, these skin-care products are great if you're the kind of person who likes to treat her routine like a time-honored tradition, but when you're a minimalist they aren't always necessary. Instead of prepping your skin for hydration with more hydration, reach for a quality moisturizer and use it immediately after washing your face.
During the day use a multitasking moisturizer that's formulated with broad-spectrum SPF, such as Vichy Aqualia Thermal SPF 25 Face Moisturizer. Not only will you be hydrating your skin, but you'll also help protect yourself from harmful UV rays — both of which are great for fighting premature signs of aging.
While we're all for cutting down the number of products in your skin-care routine, we'd be wrong to tell you to skip out on a night cream. Fact is, night creams and day creams have one major thing in common —they help to replenish the skin with moisture — but they have many unique benefits as well, so you'll want your routine to have one of each. During the day you'll use your moisturizer formulated with SPF, but at night you'll want to forgo the sun protection for a formula that boasts a few other beauty benefits. We love the L'Oréal Paris Refitalift Triple Power Intensive Overnight Mask because its rich, creamy texture envelops skin in a luxe cocoon of moisture to help improve elasticity while you sleep.
Step 3: Eye Cream
The skin surrounding your eye contour is thinner and much more delicate than that found on the rest of your face, so it needs its own cream. Your under-eye area is also one of the first to show signs of aging so you'll want to give it a little extra attention. Try Lancôme Visionnaire Yeux Eye Balm, an advanced multi-correcting eye balm with a fresh, hydrating texture that helps reduce the visible appearance of many eye contour concerns.
Step 4: Lip Care
Another area of skin that's thinner and more delicate than the rest is the skin found on your lips. Keeping a lip-care product in tow is key if you want your lips to look and feel soft and supple. A favorite is Kiehl's Lip Balm #1, a moisturizing balm that soothes and smoothes dry lips with a blend of squalane, aloe vera, and vitamin E.
Step 5: Head-to-Toe Hydration
Finally, you're going to want to turn your attention to the skin on your body. Once a day after showering, you should layer on a body lotion to help keep your skin feeling soft and hydrated from head to toe. Try CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, a barrier-reinforcing moisturizer formulated with hyaluronic acid and ceramide cream. The non-greasy, fast-absorbing cream was developed by dermatologist and is suitable for all skin types, including those with dry and very dry skin conditions.

Florida: a state full of unique people, places, and — come to find out — laws.
Some of these laws may be as old as St. Augustine (the oldest city in the US), but that doesn't change the fact that they are written law.
Take a look at some of Florida's most unique and outlandish laws. Who knows, maybe you've actually been acting illegally all along…
GRAVE SITE RESPECT. In the state of Florida, it's illegal to park or drive over top of a grave site. Tweet this
COUCHES AND CARPORTS. In the city of Cape Coral, Florida, a person can be fined $50 for keeping a couch underneath their outdoor carport. Tweet this
HAIR SALON ETIQUETTE. It's illegal for women to fall asleep under a hair dryer while at a hair salon. Tweet this
PUBLIC MORALS. Anyone who is convicted of "corrupting the public's morals" can be given a misdemeanor offense in Florida. The real question is what constitutes "corrupting the public's morals?" Tweet this
ROLLING BARRELS. In the city of Pensacola, rolling a barrel down the street is considered illegal. You may also face a fine, depending on the contents of your barrel. Tweet this
FLOWERPOTS. If you plant a flower in a pot without a drainage hole, you have created a public nuisance. Tweet this
STEALING HORSES. If you are tried and convicted of horse theft, the penalty in Florida is still written as death by hanging. Tweet this
DIRECTIONAL DOORS. Did you know that Florida law states that all doors to public buildings must open in the outward direction? Tweet this
SAFE SKATEBOARDING. Ignoring most teenagers in the state, Florida still considers skateboarding without a license to be illegal. Tweet this
EXPECTING PIGS. If you have a pregnant pig on your hands, Florida law requires that it be kept free from a confining cage. Tweet this

Bids invited for Rottnest revamp
Rottnest Island authorities want the private sector to revitalise the island's 80-year-old army barracks, with the potential for new accommodation, function centres and a restaurant within the heritage-listed site.
In an advertisement appearing in _The West Australian _ today, the Rottnest Island Authority is seeking expressions of interest to establish "innovative commercial, retail and accommodation operations" at Kingstown Barracks.
It says it is a unique opportunity to "revitalise the precinct", which is in "one of WA's most pristine tourist environments".
The barracks are about 1km from the island's main settlement in Thomson Bay.
They were used by the Australian army during World War II. In recent years they have been predominately used for educational visits and camps by students.
The latest move could lead to the authority handing over responsibility for accommodation at the barracks to a private operator.
The authority is responsible for all accommodation operations on the island, except for the Rottnest Lodge and the Rottnest Hotel.
Authority chief executive Paolo Amaranti said the move was about creating new and better experiences on the island.
"We believe this area has enormous potential," he said.

World Water Day is a day to come together and take stock of this precious resource, to galvanize efforts to protect it, and to introduce strategies for the future. From mass plastic pollution to scarce drinking water, we are currently grappling with a range of water crises.
For the past year, A/D/O has explored both the issues and solutions, inviting public discourse and collaboration through Water Futures, a series of events and talks curated by design critic, Jane Withers. A/D/O believes that good design is integral to solving everyday problems at a local and global scale, and sees designers as uniquely positioned to tackle the major water concerns through imaginative approaches that can influence public behavior.
As part of the Water Futures program, A/D/O created an open design challenge inviting multidisciplinary designers and teams to imagine possible alternatives to how water is accessed, delivered, and thought about in cities. Out of 2,000 projects from 35 countries, the jury chose nine projects that address drinking water, our relationship to single use plastic, filtration, access, or communication of information. These nine individuals and teams were paired with a design mentor who helped refine their project. The final nine are inspiring, innovative, and hopeful.

Whole Lotta Rosie Lyrics

Album: Split
(AC/DC Cover)
Wanna tell you a story
'Bout a woman I know
When it comes to lovin'
Oh she steals the show
She ain't exactly pretty
Ain't exactly small
Forty-two, thirty-nine, fifty-six
You could say she's got it all
Never had a woman
Never had a woman like you
Doing all the things
Doing all the things you do
Ain't no fairy story
Ain't no skin and bone
But you give it all you got
Weighing in at nineteen stone
You're a whole lotta woman
A whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
And you're a whole lotta woman
Oh honey you can do it
Do it to me all night long
Only one to turn
Only one to turn me on
All through the night time
And right around the clock
To my surprise
Rosie never stops

Aussie PM defends Chinese-Australian ally over communist party ties
Australian prime minister Scott Morrison on Thursday staunchly defended a Hong Kong-born politician who is under mounting pressure over her links to the Chinese Communist Party.
Gladys Liu, the first Chinese-Australian woman elected to the country's parliament, has been accused of being a member of organisations linked to China's ruling party.
Public broadcaster ABC revealed that Liu was a member of several organisations linked to the United Front Work Departmenta powerful group that promotes the party's interests at home and overseas, including by recruiting ethnic Chinese abroad.
Liu initially claimed she could not remember being a member of one of those organisations, the China Overseas Exchange Association, but has now admitted she had previously held a role.
Morrison on Wednesday said Liu's initial denial came in a "clumsy interview" by a new member of parliament.
He levelled allegations of racism at critics, saying there was a "very grubby undertone" to the questions surrounding her alleged ties to a foreign government.
"It is a ridiculous suggestion and I think it is an insult to every single Chinese-Australian in this country," he told reporters in Canberra.
That was a charge angrily denied by the opposition Labour Party.
"The only person linking these specific and serious concerns about Ms Liu to the entire Chinese-Australian population is Scott Morrison and he should stop," said Malaysian-born Labour senator Penny Wong.
The Herald Sun reported that Morrison's Liberal Party was warned about Liu's activities by Australia's spy agency ASIO before choosing her as a candidate for a fiercely contested seat with a large Chinese population.
She also admitted she had served as the honorary president of the United Chinese Commerce Association of Australia and the Australian Jiangmen general Commercial Association, but had since terminated her affiliations.
Australia recently adopted a series of measures to limit foreign interference in politics, after it emerged that both parties took money from a Beijing-connected billionaire who has now been banned from the country.

Voted for F.
Voted for F.
Your Local Resident Trash Doggo
I'm cheating on Anubis, Camazotz is in the dumpster now.
Yeah I'm definitely disappointed, but I'm not sure if my disappointment is towards The community or the Artists, in general their work is nice, but personally I see it rather lacking in creativity, not that the theme that was picked left any room for that.
Personally I voted for D, Only skin that looked pleasing to me and the color choice was nice, and only skin that gave justice to Suku.
I liked I, The 1 wing with the dress looked nice but I did not like the color choice, and Suku looked bland for my taste.
A and F were great, but its pretty much what you would expect from an Angelic theme, The white and Gold color scheme with a big White/Gold wings and a Griffin/Lion as Suku.
B was really nice but I don't like Mayan themed skins >.>
Voted for F, though I don't think the theme fits Awilix at all, I don't want a shitty skin to win, and F is the best one in my opinion.
Favorite gods: Nemesis, Ne Zha, Janus, Apollo, Cabrakan, Freya, Chaac
some pretty cool concepts but from concept to finally design im sure things will differ a little from the winning concept
I voted D. D needs to win. But would be ok with E or H too.
These skins are all so meh to me. I voted A because I couldn't decide and my name starts with A :P
At least I don't have to worry about the best skin winning(D).

July 25th, 2017 | Big Palette Fukushima in Fukushima, Japan | Attendance: 2,500
After a day off, the G1 returned with B Block action today. Would Kazuchika Okada suffer his first loss as he took on SANADA? Would Toru Yano steal one against Kenny Omega? The two winless guys in the block met so someone would get their first victory today.
Ryusuke Taguchi and Togi Makabe def. Kota Ibushi and Shota Umino in 7:31
Tomohiro Ishii and YOSHI-HASHI def. Katsuya Kitamura and Tomoyuki Oka in 7:58 [***¼]
Hiromu Takahashi and Tetsuya Naito def. Hirai Kawato and Yuji Nagata in 8:17 [***]
Bad Luck Fale, Chase Owens and Yujiro Takahashi def. El Desperado, Taichi and Zack Sabre Jr. in 5:37
David Finlay and Hiroshi Tanahashi def. Hirooki Goto and Jado in 7:09
*Good friend Tetsuya Naito helped console Hiromu Takahashi, who came out clutching an imaginary Daryl, which Naito fist bumped.
B Block: Michael Elgin [0] vs. Satoshi Kojima [0]
Exactly two years ago today, they met in the G1 (***½), which Kojima won. This was quite hard hitting from the start, which is what I want and expect from these two. Elgin brought the power game, but Kojima came back with some his signature stuff, like the machine gun chops and apron DDT. Kojima nearly got counted out after an apron powerbomb. His resiliency had the crowd chanting his name. They went into a lariat battle, with Kojima nearly getting decapitated. I'm pretty sure they lifted a spot from their 2015 match, where Elgin jumped into a lariat. Kojima ate the buckle bomb, but popped out with a desperation lariat. Elgin eventually hit the Elgin Bomb after a sunset bomb to win at 13:09. Nothing fancy here. Just two dudes desperately fighting for their first win. Kojima fought hard, but Elgin was just better tonight. [***½]
B Block: EVIL [2] vs. Tama Tonga [2]
Two members of heel stables collide. In true fashion to their stables, this was a brawl. They almost immediately went outside and fought through the crowd. Tonga threw EVIL into what looked like a garage door, resulting in a very close countout call. Though EVIL made it back inside, Tonga was in control until he missed a stinger splash. EVIL sent him back outside and used steel chairs to his advantage. Down the stretch, things picked up. Tonga did his misdirection stuff and hit Veleno for a near fall. They went into a great series of Gun Stun/STO counters, reminding me of the end of old Karl Anderson G1 matches. EVIL won out with the STO to pick up two points at 10:27. Fun little match here. The brawling stuff was more than we typically get in G1 matches, which helped it be different, though some of it was dull. The crowd was into the finishing stretch, which I liked. [**¾]
B Block: Juice Robinson [2] vs. NEVER Openweight Champion Minoru Suzuki [2]
Props to Juice, who came in selling stuff from a few days ago. IT'S NOT THAT HARD PEOPLE! Minoru attacked him during his entrance, because that's Minoru's style. Since Juice was selling the leg, Minoru twisted it in disgusting ways. Like the previous match, there was crowd brawling, with El Desperado getting involved. Once that was over, they traded a bit of stuff inside, with Juice showing fire. He continually got cut off by Minoru trying to rip his leg off. Though the crowd is normally way into Juice, they didn't pop for his near falls and hope spots the way I hoped. Suzuki countered Pulp Friction, hit a right hand and won via Gotch piledriver at 11:23. Good stuff. I loved Juice's resiliency and how well he sold the leg throughout the entire match. Something I remember missing from Minoru's biggest match of the year back in February. With a more invested crowd, this would've ranked higher. Still, good effort from both and Minoru got to look like a killer. [***]
B Block: IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega [4] vs. Toru Yano [2]
I gave their G1 match last year ***. Omega forgot to bring the belt and told the camera, "I forgot the belt. How did I do that? Jesus Christ. I'm gonna get in big trouble." Yano was a trickster, using powder from inside a DVD to blind Omega and roll him up. The fans bought that as the finish and they also bought a low blow near fall right after. Unfortunately, this wasn't as fun as their encounter last year. Don't get me wrong, some of it was entertaining, but like I said, Yano works better in short bursts. This went too long. Omega resorted to some Yano tactics, tying his feet together. They both had their feet tied, making for some wacky moments. In the end, Omega hit a V-Trigger and Yano fell outside, getting counted out at 11:31. I'm sure some people enjoyed this, but I didn't. I've always said I liked serious Kenny way more. His goofiness is something that never clicked for me and a 10+ minute with Yano, who shouldn't go more than five, is not good. Gedo's booked three 10+ minute Yano matches in this tournament so far. In much better news, Omega should have quality matches going forward. [*¼]
B Block: IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada [4] vs. SANADA [2]
They had two matches last year (***¼ and ***), with Okada not pulling a Tanahashi and making sure SANADA looked like a star. I wonder if that changes this time around. By the way, I'm assuming every Okada G1 match (besides Yano) goes 20+ minutes. This was laid out just like Okada/Elgin. Basic stuff inside, Rainmaker tease, fight outside, Okada cross body over the guardrail. Wash, rinse, repeat. Back inside, SANADA tied Okada up and dropkicked him. It's not my favorite SANADA move, but is sometimes rather funny. Some of the stuff in the middle was kind of just there, before we got the typical hot finishing stretch from Okada matches. Okada survived Skull End and countered into a Rainmaker. HE HELD THE WRIST (yea, I'm beyond over that spot. It was cool the first time.), hit a second and had a third countered. That's exactly what happened against Elgin, except Okada hit a German instead of a Tombstone next. A third Rainmaker ended it at 20:49. The Okada formula isn't a bad one, but he should mix it up when he has so many singles matches in a row. This felt so similar to the Elgin match, except with SANADA bringing athleticism instead of power. [***½]
Overall: 6/10. The weakest of the G1 shows so far. Only Omega/Yano is something I'd consider bad, but nothing stood out as must see either. It's an easy watch for the most part, though Omega/Yano went way too long. Elgin/Kojima is a really good hard hitting battle, EVIL/Tonga is a solid brawl, Juice/Minoru was two guys playing their roles perfectly and the main event was Okada stuff. SANADA is that dude though.

When our client brought us his trunk Louis Vuitton, he was desperate. Indeed he had locked it several months ago and had lost this one ...
A classic !
Of course it would be easy to remove the rivets to open the lock, but our mission: to open it without weapon or violence
A lock deemed impeccable:
It is in 1890 that Georges Vuitton, son and successor of Louis Vuitton, develops the lock with 5 gorges, reputed incrochetable.
Each lock has an individual number for each customer, which allows the customer to open all his luggage with the same key.
The lock number is unrelated to the serial number inside the luggage, which is specific to each piece of luggage.
There are as many different keys as there are locks.
Today is still the same lock that equips the rigid luggage of the house Vuitton.
Despite the promises of invulnerability of this legendary lock, we agree to meet the challenge.
Thanks to the unique lock number we determine the shape of the key.
So we started from a brass plate to shape our provisional key.
Hand machining:
- Cutting teeth with a saw
- Adjustment with the file.
It only remains to try the key.
She opens the lock effortlessly to the delight of its owner.
Challenge raised hands down, all without weapons or violence ...

IMPORTANT NOTEWe strongly condemn and are disgusted by Jahar's actions, and we pray for his victims regularly. Nonetheless, as Christians, we believe that Jesus calls us to love our enemies and pray for them and that despite Jahar's heinous crimes, the blood of Jesus is more than sufficient to wash him white as snow. Also, this is not a blog either for or against the death penalty for Jahar, as whether he lives or dies, his eternity is what matters most.
"Adopt" Jahar For Prayer

As a mum of four kids living on the road, I understand what it can be like. Some days are uplifting, invigorating and heart touching- but there are also moments which are exhausting, frustrating and tiring.
Honestly, I am not going to say essential oils will solve every problem in your life…. but they can help support you and your family through it.
When I first got my oils, it was just for my taste buds! I love bliss balls and it didn't make sense to me that it wouldn't be ok to use an extract straight from the plant, instead of the synthetic rubbish from the shops. So I bought a small kit from dōTERRA, but then the box sat on my shelf for MONTHS.
It wasn't until I was in absolute and utter digestive distress one night. Let me tell you, I was thanking God I had DigestZen when I pulled out my oils from behind my office and dusted them off. From that moment on, I knew I needed to share these incredible gifts of nature with the world.
Whether you are looking for glowing skin, natural cleaning options, oils to support and lift the mood, or absolutely gorgeous aromas and food flavourings, I have a sample I can send you. I want you to experience the magic of these oils in your family.
Most people start with the main 10 oils we recommend in a kit. If you'd like a quick rundown of the top ten oils, watch the video below.
If you would like to go ahead and try a sample of essential oil to see what it does for you, click here.

Happy Thursday, y'all.
Today in Memphis, the Levitt Shell shows start, a new holiday has been declared (it's tomorrow), and D.J. Stephens is a beloved freak of nature. Also, we have details on where to drop off donations for tornado victims in Oklahoma.

– Speaking of the Brothers Dickinson, the North Mississippi All-Stars are playing the first show of this year's Levitt Shell concert series tonight at 6:30 p.m. If you're headed to the show but don't want to pack a picnic, Chiwawa on Madison is offering a pretty sweet to-go special on nights when there are shows at the Shell.
– If you'd like to do something to help out the tornado victims in Moore, Oklahoma, Newby's on Highland is collecting needed items for the Red Cross through the end of the day today.
– AC Wharton has used his mayoral powers to declare tomorrow Grizzlies Friday, a day when we show our love for the hometeam by donning our team colors.
– Also, Bluff City Bakery and La Michoacana have joined forces to make the most epic of all basketball-themed baked goods, the Grizzlies Ice Cream Cookie Slider.
– The headline says it all: D.J. Stephens is a freak of nature.
– Congrats to Broad Ave. on receiving a $350,000 grant from ArtPlace America to turn their watertower into a work of art and transform the loading dock below it into an outdoor theater.
– Lastly, according to a report out today, Memphis has gained population since 2010 and is the 20th largest city in the country. Welcome, new people!
Know of something going on in Memphis? If you've got a tip for ILM, send me an email. If you'd like to submit a story, photo gallery, video or something else for the blog, do that here. If you've got an event coming up, please add it to the calendar, and if you're not already, follow ILM on Facebook and/or Twitter and/or Instagram and/or Pinterest.
What report showed an increase in population in Memphis? It would be very helpful to me. Thank you!

Voivodship Capitals
Bydgoszcz, Toruń
Area (km2)
Number of residents
Vast forests, beautiful forests, clean rivers, a traditional countryside, together with historical sights and well known health resorts, make up the Kujawy-Pomorze voivodship. The region lays in the central part of Poland, astride of either side of the Vistula, Poland's largest river. Agricultural production provides 30% of the region's industrial output.
Kujawy-Pomorze is a voivodship that has two capitals. One of these, the City of Toruń, has a beautiful Old Town, which is entered under the UNESCO list for World Heritage Cities and is the birthplace of the famous astronomer Nicholas Copernicus. The second is Bydgoszcz, which also has a 600 year history; through which the XIX century Bydgoszcz Canal flows, creating a unique European water bound transport system, that used to carry 500 thousand tons of coal annually in steam ships.
Today the Kujawy-Pomorze voivodship is home to Sharp the Japanese electronics giant and its sub-contractors at Łysomice near Toruń, the Technology Transfer Centre and the Toruń Technology Park and the non-commercial internet broadband service in Bydgoszcz. The many higher education institutes have provided great hope for the young, who can follow the example of the pianist Rafał Blechacz, a pupil of the Bydgoszcz Academy of Music, the winning laureate of the XV International Frederic Chopin Piano Competition.
Kujawy-Pomorze is an agricultural region, the cultural heritage of our ancestors, a European musical centre which is geared to modernity.
Investment opportunities
The chemical industry
The voivodship has a long history of manufacturing in the chemicals sector. The development of the sector, innovative solutions, low production costs and above all the availability of a highly qualified workforce and the existing science and research base means that it continues to be attractive to investors.
The voivodship possesses a specialised environment for science and research and educational centres which guarantee a high potential in education. The large supply of qualified personnel means that the region has in recent years been perceived as being attractive for firms in the High-Tech sector.
In this region firms from the sectors of research and development, technology transfer and electronics manufacturers have been locating themselves.
Tax exemptions and investment sweeteners have been prepared by the region's local government and development agencies. These have served to raising the regions attractiveness.
The mechanical industry
The voivodship has a well established traditions related to the mechanical industry. The investment opportunities for companies from this sector are increased by the large numbers of potential business partners and sub-contractors and also due to the existing entities within the sector those entities that receive supplies and services will benefit.
The research and development environment and the well trained workforce are very important factors for potential investors. The tax exemptions and investment sweeteners that have been prepared by the region's local government and development agencies, have also served to raise the region's attractiveness for investors.
Food processing
The voivodship has positive natural qualities and a long history that provides experience related to the agricultural sector and the food industry industry.
The region's attractiveness in this field is supported by the significant research and development potential in the region, which helps to provide qualified workers and also enables research that stimulates innovation in food production. Two factors: the large number of enterprises in the food sector and the extensive food processing activities, means that a potential investor can find the appropriate location for an investment within this region.

dv01, a platform that connects online lenders and investors with data management, has expanded its reporting partnership with LendingClub, according to a release by the firm. dvo1 has previously provided reporting services for LendingClub securitizations but is says it now has secured its "role as loan data agent for all completed CLUB Certificate transactions."
LendingClub has introduced an interesting "CLUB" product that allows qualified institutions to purchase and trade baskets of loans based off a CUSIP. These pass through securities are cleared by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation. LendingClub closed its first CLUB Certificate transaction in December 2017. dv01 will receive loan data directly from LendingClub, which it will normalize, validate, and roll up for monthly servicer reporting.
Perry Rahbar, founder and CEO of dv01, said they were excited to expand their partnership with LendingClub while bringing deeper transparency for investors:
"These deals have opened up the online lending ecosystem to a new segment of investors, and we're looking forward to introducing them to an efficient, cost-effective, and streamlined reporting experience from start to finish."
Valerie Kay, Chief Capital Officer of LendingClub, said their previous work with dvo1 has made it clear that investors value the deep analysis provided:
"The unique structure of these CLUB Certificate transactions appealed to a new investor audience, and we're excited to offer these investors access to dv01's reporting and analytics portal as part of their introduction to the online lending asset class."
To date, dv01 has provided similar reporting services for several other online lenders, overseeing an aggregate collateral balance in excess of $40 billion.
