By NEIL HARTNELL
Tribune Business Editor
Baha Mar's contractor is being sued for allegedly failing to pay an American firm the full $7.643 million contract price for demolishing Cable Beach's former Nassau Beach Hotel.
Court documents obtained by Tribune Business reveal that Controlled Demolition Inc (CDI) is still awaiting an alleged outstanding balance of $754,704 despite invoicing China Construction America (Bahamas) for payment more than one year ago.
The Maryland-based firm is thus suing CCA (Bahamas) for alleged breach of contract and unjust enrichment, adding to the contractor's many headaches stemming from the ongoing impasse over the $3.5 billion Baha Mar project.
And, ironically, Controlled Demolition's complaint raises the same allegations that CCA (Bahamas) has itself levelled against Baha Mar - namely that extra payment refused for changes in the scope of works it was required to perform.
The US company also claims that CCA (Bahamas) "inflated" the value of scrap materials from the Nassau Beach Hotel demolition, which were due to Baha Mar, for its own purposes.
Controlled Demolition's action, filed last Friday, comes as Prime Minister Perry Christie was in New York to meet CCA's chairman yesterday, in a bid to restart construction on the stalled Baha Mar project.
Outlining its complaint, Controlled Demolition said it was originally contracted by CCA (Bahamas) on November 25, 2011, to demolish the Nassau Beach Hotel for a price of $7.401 million.
"The demolition of the Nassau Beach Hotel was part of a larger project known as the Baha Mar development," Controlled Demolition alleged.
The Nassau Beach was one of two resort properties (the other being the Wyndham) that Sarkis Izmirlian, Baha Mar's principal, acquired from Philip Ruffin in 2006 to pave the way for Cable Beach's redevelopment.
The resort's demolition was required to make way for Baha Mar's new resort campus and beach experience, and Controlled Demolition alleged that CCA (Bahamas) asked it "to perform work outside the scope" of the original contract.
The price was thus increased by $241,808 to $7.643 million, and Controlled Demolition alleged: "CDI fully and timely completed the work and the Change Order Work, and has performed all terms and conditions of the sub-contract that it was obligated to perform."
But, although Controlled Demolition said it had invoiced for the full contract price, it claimed CCA (Bahamas) had only paid it $6.888 million, "leaving a balance due and owing of $754,704".
The US company alleged: "CCA has breached the sub-contract by... failing, neglecting and refusing to fully pay CDI for the work; directing CDI to perform the Change Order Work at an agreed-upon price and then refusing to pay for it; alleging that certain final inspections are necessary for final payment and then refusing to conduct inspections; asserting false, pretextual reasons for not paying; approving invoices and then failing to pay them in full; paying approved invoice amounts in one month and then taking back monies previously paid by reducing per cent complete values on subsequent invoices."
Controlled Demolition's long list of allegations continued by claiming CCA "inappropriately inflated scrap values due the owner [Baha Mar] and withholding the inflated amounts from CDI's payment without documentation of the additional claim amount of the owner's salvage share; failing to provide specific reasons for not paying CDI withing the time required by the sub-contract or otherwise provided by law; unreasonably delaying payment of CDI's invoices; providing CDI with false and misleading information concerning pre-suit alternative dispute resolution procedures, wrongfully causing CDI to delay enforcement of its rights under the sub-contract; asserting that CDI has no right to receive payment until CCA receives payment from other sources; and breaching the sub-contract's implied covenant and good faith and fair dealing."
Controlled Demolition alleged that it had sent two written invoices totalling the outstanding balance, split into $372,571 and $382,132, to CCA (Bahamas) on August 19, 2014.
It claimed that despite receiving the invoices three days later, and raising no dispute or protest over the sum claimed, CCA "has failed, refused and neglected to pay the balance of the account".
Demanding that a 1 per cent interest penalty be added to the unpaid balance, Controlled Demolition alleged that CCA (Bahamas) would be "unjustly enriched" if it retained the benefits of its work without compensation being paid.
"Alternatively, CDI is entitled to recover $754,703 for additional work performed outside the scope of the sub-contract's work, based on theories of unjust enrichment and breach of an implied contract," Controlled Demolition alleged.
Its complaint is similar in nature to the allegations that CCA (Bahamas) has itself levelled against Baha Mar, namely that it was never properly compensated for more than 1,000 changes to the scope of works and nature of construction it was asked to perform.
Jun Li, a CCA (Bahamas) vice-president, alleged in a July 16 affidavit that Baha Mar had ""rejected out of hand" almost 50 certified requests for time extensions from the contractor.
The extension requests, Mr Li said, stemmed from changes to the construction design or scope of works that Baha Mar wanted CCA (Bahamas) to make.
Yet he claimed that Baha Mar "has never agreed to a single extension of time" or request for extra payment to accommodate the extra work.
"As a result of design-related issues, thousands of Constructive Change Directives (CCDs) were issued by Baha Mar directing CCA Bahamas to perform the work differently than already designed," Mr Li had alleged.
"In violation of the terms of the contract, the CCDs did not contain an estimate of the cost and time associated with the change or any method for payment - meaning that CCA Bahamas or a Work Package Contractor would improperly be forced to fund the changed work until Baha Mar agreed to a Change Order."
Still, the Controlled Demolition claim adds to the litigation CCA (Bahamas) and its parent, China State Construction Engineering Corporation, is facing.
Baha Mar has already filed a UK High Court claim against the latter for $192 million damages, due to its subsidiary's alleged failure to perform under the construction contract.

Comrades, more and more keeps coming out about the Cable Beach going on's things and stuffs but doubtful we can expect knows for certainty, if just maybe the The Nassau Beach and the Wyndham resort's demolitions, were not only required to make way for Baha Mar's new resort campus and beach experince but also to make it possible, for tourists experince - what it would be likes to walk out on that 'dock' - right into mouth big ole' blue Atlantic Ocean. Some Cable Beach things are go'in forever destined, remain all mystery riddled.

It didn't even take a minute of Megyn Kelly talking about her Wednesday meeting with Donald Trump to help deliver the night's highest cable news ratings. Fox News' The Kelly File was Wednesday's top performer among adults 25-54, averaging 419,000 viewers in the key demo and outpacing CNN's Town Hall with Ted Cruz's family and Kelly's lead-out, a Trump interview conducted by network personality Sean Hannity. News of Kelly and Trump's potential peace brokering at his Trump Tower building spread throughout the day, and the Fox News Channel anchor mentioned it briefly at the top of her telecast. "The meeting was at my request and Mr. Trump was gracious enough to agree to it," she said. "Mr. Trump and I discussed the possibility of an interview, and I hope we will have news to announce on that soon." The GOP candidate appeared the hour following Kelly, sitting down with Hannity for a telecast that fetched nearly 400,000 viewers in the news demo at 10 p.m. Kelly and FNC's Wednesday win followed an even stronger Tuesday for CNN. The cable news network set the high bar this week with an average 570,000 adults 25-54 tuning in to the entire Trump clan's sit-down with Anderson Cooper. CNN eyes even bigger ratings and another likely win on Thursday night with the penultimate debate of the primary cycle. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are set to face off in Brooklyn, starting at 9 p.m. E.T. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Michael O'Connell email@example.com mikeylikestv

Shirtless Jesus Luz - Are you surprised he's still involved with Madonna?
Jesus Luz Hits the Beach Shirtless — Are You Surprised He's Still Involved With Madonna?
Jesus Luz hit the beach in Rio de Janeiro on Friday, and while Madonna wasn't along for the fun, the May-December couple appears to be going strong after almost two years together. The pair first struck up a romance after meeting during a steamy shoot for W Magazine in 2008. With nearly 30 years between them – Jesus is now 23 while Madonna just turned 53 – there were plenty of naysayers who said the relationship would never last. Still, the Brazilian model has spent time with Madonna's children, showed an interest in Kabbalah, and even blended into her circle of friends. What do you think – are you amazed that they've made it this far?

A batch of new Into the Woods images from director Rob Marshall's (Chicago) feature film adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim musical has landed online. The Disney production stars James Corden (Begin Again) and Emily Blunt as a Baker and his wife who venture into the woods to confront the witch responsible for putting a curse on the childless couple. Along the way, they run into a number of familiar fairy tale characters. Today's new images reveal quite a few of these, including Anna Kendrick as Cinderella, Johnny Depp as the Big Bad Wolf, and Chris Pine as Prince Charming. It's an absolutely stacked cast, and Marshall had everyone sing live on set, so it should be interesting to see the final result come together this Christmas. With these images debuting today, I imagine a first trailer is right around the corner.
Hit the jump to check out the new Into the Woods images, and click here to watch the first trailer. The film also stars Meryl Streep, Lucy Punch, Christine Baranski, Tracy Ullman, Lilla Crawford, Daniel Huttlestone, Tammy Blanchard, Billy Magnussen, Mackenzie Mauzy. Into the Woods opens in theaters on December 25th.
Here's the official synopsis for Into the Woods:
"Into the Woods" is a modern twist on the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales, intertwining the plots of a few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters' wishes and quests. This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel—all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife, their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch who has put a curse on them.

Facebook Could Boost Ad Revenue Through New Marketing Education Partnerships With Business Lobbies
Facebook's advertising solutions haven't reached their full potential in part because advertisers don't understand them well enough to achieve peak results. The system is complicated, and the concept of social advertising is new, yet outside of some webinars and .PDFs, Facebook has done little educate advertisers on how to use its Ads products.
That's about to change, as Facebook is establishing partnerships with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Federation of Independent Business, the Wall Street Journal reports. Facebook will send representatives to local and regional offices of the two business lobbies to educate members on how best to promote themselves on the social network through its marketing and advertising products.
This education could increase understanding and trust in Facebook Ads, leading more businesses to increase their Facebook marketing spend. Such adoption could help Facebook grow the advertising revenues that fuel the company.
Next month's initiative with the Chamber of Commerce and NFIB will coincide with Facebook giving away $10 million in $50 ad credits to small business. When the ad credit promotion was revealed earlier month, we discussed how it could lure in small businesses to experiment with Facebook ads. However, we noted the promotion would only produce long-term advertisers if Facebook paired the ad credits with the education necessary for businesses to run successful advertising campaigns.
Facebook has recently released several new advertising options that can be especially helpful to small businesses, including Broad Category Interest targeting and zip code targeting. It will also soon make a wealth of new marketing opportunities available as advertisers will soon be able to target users based on their media consumption habits in addition to their listed interests thanks to new Open Graph app protocols launched at the f8 developer conference.
While veteran Facebook advertisers will appreciate these new tools, they may make Facebook's marketing solutions even more complicated for those without experience. Facebook seems to have recognized this, and will now be augmenting its online resources with in-person education sessions.
Google has been offering free "Seminars for Success" and other in-person education events since at least 2008 to help marketers understand its AdWords and analytics products. Some see this outreach as an important component of Google's rise to power in the advertising world.
Employing a similar strategy, Facebook could get advertisers more comfortable targeting by interest and behavior rather than just keywords. By choosing to run its education series through two powerful lobbies, Facebook can also advance its political interests.
The choice of partnering with the Chamber of Commerce and NFIB matches with the recent news that Facebook has started its own political action committee. Keeping regulators through the PAC and lobby relationships will help keep regulators at bay so Facebook can continue to monetize user data through ad targeting.

Minimum Bottom Line Profit Should Average 9.4%!
For Trades & Subcontractors, at Least 11%
After Income Taxes Are Paid!
Taking the small construction company to the next level of financial success, requires implementation of cost accounting. This article is one in a series designed to illustrate how you implement cost accounting in a small construction business. The first step in this process is design a file structure. This includes creating a project numbering format, identifying classes of construction, and finally developing a phase breakout of your project work. The next article in this series will illustrate how to create a documentation flow system, and finally sorting the documents to the correct files. Future articles will cover setting up your accounting software (QuickBooks & Sage 50) files and generating and interpreting the financial reports.
Cost accounting is a measurement tool in accounting. By grouping costs and assigning them to a particular project, a reviewer of financial results can pinpoint discrepancies between the estimated cost and the actual cost. As an example, did the exterior siding costs exceed your budgeted amount? Cost accounting sorts the receipts into the respective groups (phases) and this information is used by the contractor to compare to his original estimate for that particular aspect of construction. Comparing actual costs to estimated costs is a step in the feedback loop. Learn more about feedback loops here: A Model of Excellence.
To begin this process, the reader should understand some core terminology. The following articles should be read prior to continuing. If you already have an understanding of this information, please skip over these articles and move onto implementing cost accounting below.
Class Accounting in Construction – identifies the concept of class accounting by breaking out small construction companies into the respective divisions of new home construction, remodelers, renovators, and restoration.
Understanding Phase Accounting – explains the concept of phase accounting and identifies some of the phases used in construction.
Think of this process as classifying the receipt to the particular class of construction, then to the project, then to the particular phase of construction for that project.
Design a File Structure
In accounting, a file structure is an organizational tool allocating administration resources in an efficient manner. With construction, pretty much everything is focused on the project. Therefore, design your file structure around the projects, classes of construction, and vendors. Before continuing, please read Create a File Structure for Accounting.
Project Numbering
The first step is to create a project numbering system. Many contractors use the street address or the lot number as their identifying tool. I suggest using the contract date for the project. It is important to use a dating system that allows for easy access and reporting format. I suggest using the year first, the month and day format. As an example, if the contract was signed on February 16, 2013, then use 130216 as your numbering system. This allows for a chronological ordering system for the future. The numbering system continuously increases by using this format. It is important to use the year first in the numbering format because it is a great tool to separate projects by year by filtering on the first two digits within the accounting software.
Classes of Construction
The second step in designing a file structure is to create classes of work within the construction company. If you only do one class of work, give it a name. It is highly probable that future work will bring about a new class of construction within your company. By classifying your work now, it will be easier to implement new classes in the future. If you are a new home contractor, then use classification based on developments or types of new homes. The following are different examples with the classes highlighted:
Example 1 – You build new homes in three different developments; this works well if the developments are large and will be around for a few year
Yorkshire – homes built in the Yorkshire Subdivision
Water's Edge – homes built in this subdivision on the water
Governor's Landing – a totally separate development in another zip code
Example 2 – you build custom designed homes and sell 'spec' houses.
* Design/Build
* Spec
Example 3 – you work around 3 basic models of homes
* Livingston – a slab based model with 3 variations
* Covington – a basement model with no variations
*Breckenridge – a foundation based model with two floors and 3 variations
The idea is simple; create classes of construction that several projects will be built within the class. Do not create a class for one project, lump this project in with some other class.
Classes can be focused on your construction divisions, such as new home, additions, and remodeling. See Types of Residential Contractors for more guidance. If you are not in residential construction and perform some other type of construction, group your projects based on function, geographical territory, or even material based projects. The following are some examples:
Example – Site Developer: types of developments
Residential Development
Commercial Development
Industrial Development
Example – Road Contractor: core material based
Gravel/Other Material Based Roads
Example – Fencing Contractor: types of installations
Wire Fence (Chain link, Barb, Electric)
Temporary – construction type fencing
Phases of Construction
This is the core information for accounting. Phases are the steps in your construction process. If you are home builder/remodeler, then use the nine phase system as described in Use Phase Accounting in Construction. This article describes each phase and a numbering system. In general the phases are 01 – 09 and each is a step in construction. My suggestion is to keep it simple and stick to no more than nine phases. The first phase is the paperwork phase and includes non- material related items such as portable signage, debris removal, and even the port a john. The other phases have respected material issues and a lot of subcontractor elements.
If you are not in residential construction, phase out your projects based on the basic elements related to your industry. If you are in road construction, you could have an engineering phase, an underground utilities phase, site development phase, actual paving phase, grading and landscaping phase, and a signage/marking phase. Your phases should be relevant to your industry and easily understood by anyone in your industry.
Again keep the phases to no more than nine. It keeps the reporting simple and more than nine begins to add confusion to the bookkeeping staff as to where to record the receipt. As an example, if you break out landscaping between site development and final landscaping, the accountant will not know how to address the bush whacking aspect of work. Is this site development or landscaping? By combining the two, you make life easier for the accountant. This way, any bill that relates to exterior site issues is recorded to the site work phase. The Use Phase Accounting in Construction article above clarifies this issue well.
Creating your file structure is the first step in implementing cost accounting in your construction company. By designing a project numbering system, creating classes of work, and identifying a core set of phases you are building the foundation of a good cost accounting program for your construction company. Please continue in this series by reading about a document flow system for use with your cost accounting program. Act on Knowledge.

The wedding cake wasn't originally something to deck in flowers, bright colours and intricate designs. They weren't originally something to be eaten either! Wedding cakes have come a long way through history and more extravagant as there is more focus for spending more money.
I recently visited Flambards in Cornwall. It's a museum and theme park, which takes you through the Victorian era, the Blitz and many other events through history. I visited it because I love history and one part that stood out for me was the Wedding Dresses Through the Eras, which also had wedding cakes through the years. It has inspired me to do more digging into the history of the wedding cake and share my findings.
The wedding cake has come a long way since the Roman Empire
Throwing the Wedding Cake at the Bride
Wedding cake traditions date back to the Roman Era. Instead of being a cake, a loaf of bread was used. The groom would break the bread over the head of his new wife as a sign that he was dominant in the family. Since society moved on, the tradition and meaning had to move on; now the bride and groom will cut the cake together as a symbol of the first thing they do as a couple and some choose to feed each other some cake to show that they are working together.
The original use for the wedding cake was to throw it at the bride. In the Medieval times, the cake was a fertility symbol and believed to help the couple fall pregnant quickly. Cakes were not stacked in the way that is traditionally seen, in the tiers. Instead, the cakes and other baked goods would be piled up as high as possible. The couple would have to kiss over the pile without knocking it over. If they managed that, they would have a prosperous marriage.
As tiers did become the norm and wedding cakes were eaten, three tiers was the tradition. The bottom tier (the biggest) was used to feed the friends and extended relatives. The second tier was for the close family members and the bridal party. The top tier of the cake was used as the first baby's christening cake. It was a traditional fruit cake and covered in icing to keep it protected while stored in the pantry. This helped to keep the cost down for the two celebrations.
The Introduction of Wedding Cake Tiers
Wedding cake tiers were introduced in the 1600s, when a French chef visited England. He was appalled at the way the cakes and baked goods would be piled up. As a way to make it look more presentable, he suggested the use of brooms to create tiers. However, this wasn't followed until much later in history.
Instead, wedding parties moved on from the traditional wedding cake to the "bride pie". This was often mince or mutton pies or sweet breads that would be baked with a glass ring in the middle. The tradition for the ring was the same as the tradition with the bouquet today – the woman who found the ring would be the best bride. For those families without much money, the pie often became the centrepiece to keep costs to a minimum.
Legend has it that it was William Rich who made wedding cake tiers popular. He was the apprentice of a baker in the 1700s in London and fell in love with the daughter of his boss. To impress her, he built a large cake using St. Bride's church spire as inspiration. It is difficult to determine how true this story is as there are no surviving records of it.
Make a Beautiful Wedding Cake Yourself
Queen Victoria Makes Weddings More Popular
Weddings were nothing big and fancy until the marriage of Queen Victoria to Prince Albert. By 1840, the cost of sugar had decreased and working class families and those on lower wages could have the weddings that the rich had always had. Wedding cakes and dresses were now white and big. For those interested in the history of the wedding dress, England didn't follow the tradition of the bride being in white until Queen Victoria's wedding!
Big weddings could not last though. During World War Two rationing meant that some foods were difficult to come by. Most people would only have enough eggs if they had their own chickens and sugar was limited, let along money! Weddings became a much smaller affair, along with the wedding cakes!
Those who married during war time would have had to talk to their friends and relatives about the ingredients. Some would donate their ingredients to make the wedding cake possible. There were other tricks used to help, including using gravy browning so the fruit cake would look richer. Some would even use cardboard cakes with a smaller one on the inside to give the illusion of a grand affair.
The History of Wedding Cake Ingredients
When I got married, our cake was a three tiered one with different flavours of chocolate, chocolate orange and regular sponge cake (we're not big fans of fruit cake). Different flavours are possible now thanks to refrigeration and getting ingredients is so much easier and cheaper than ever before. However, there are many who will still opt for the traditional fruit cake.
Why was the fruit cake used? The cakes used to be stored in pantries – before and after the wedding! This meant that the ingredients had to have a long life – at least a year, since a baby was expected within the year. The ingredients for fruit cakes could also be easily sourced in Britain. Before sugar was widely available, breads would be used instead. Also, fruit cake is dense and is capable of holding the other tiers, along with any decorations used.
Icing became the norm, especially to help preserve the cake. White icing became popular by 1840 and was a sign of purity. While this remains a popular option, some couples choose to use different colours with food colouring. They can opt for their favourite colours or to match their colour scheme.

Changes to Wedding Cakes
The traditional wedding cake is no longer the norm. People have moved on to look for other ways to offer their guests a treat and keep the wedding costs to a minimum. Cupcakes have become extremely popular as a way to offer a mixture of flavours and find an easier way to stack them on a stand.
Others opt for more unique options. A friend of mine recently opted for a wedding cookie instead of a cake!
There is more to the wedding cake than you possibly ever thought. It has been used as a symbol of fertility, prosperity and unity. The next time you see a wedding cake – or the new variations of one – think about the history of the wedding cake and the changes it has been through over time.

Address, Business Name, and Corporate Officer Changes
California Code of Regulations section 3303.3 requires that each registrant or licensee have a correct mailing and street address on file at the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR). Registrants and licensees most notify BAR within 14 days of any changes in mailing or street address, giving both the old and new addresses. Notification must be provided in writing or by submitting a Change of Name / Address / Corporate Officers form.
Address Change
If you own an ARD and are changing the business address, you must submit, in writing, the old and new addresses to BAR. If you own a Smog Check station, you must also submit, in writing, the old and new addresses to BAR. Upon receipt of a notice of address change, a BAR representative will contact the station owner to schedule an inspection of the new location.
Business Name Change
If you are changing the name of your business, you must submit, in writing, the new business name to BAR. However, if your business is a corporation and both the corporation name and the corporate number have changed, you must submit a new ARD application. If only the corporation name has changed, submit, in writing, the old and new corporation name to BAR.
Corporate Officer Change
If your business is a corporation and you are simply changing an officer of the corporation, you must submit, in writing, the name of the new officer to BAR.

When Washington Township purchased the South Suburban YMCA in 1988, one of the first orders of business was to create a Recreation Advisory Board. Since then, the board has helped steer the Recreation Department through three decades of tremendous growth -- including multiple building expansions and countless new programs. When the Recreation Center considers a new policy, building expansion, or any significant change in procedure, the proposal first goes to the advisory board.
Board members are dedicated, active users of recreation facilities and programs who help maintain an ongoing dialogue with our user community. From its inception, the board has provided strong support for the Recreation Department's mission and facilities, while ensuring that recreation members have an active and inclusive voice.
The 11-member board is appointed by trustees, including seven at-large members who either work or live in Washington Township. Four other slots are appointed by trustees upon the recommendation of Centerville City Council, Centerville-Washington Park District, Centerville City Schools and the Washington-Centerville Public Library. Board members serve annually-appointed, staggered three-year terms.
Citizens who wish to offer their opinions and ideas about the Recreation Center and its programming or who are interested in serving on this board are encouraged to call the Rec Center or contact a member of the advisory board.
The board meets at 5:30 pm on the third Thursday of designated months at the Recreation Center. Upcoming meetings:
Includes township services, recreational offerings, business updates, and employment opportunities

I'm not sure how I didn't know about this sooner. A report in TIME World from last week caught my eye. It seems that Americans were kept pretty much in the dark about this terrible atrocity:
They were the forgotten women of Ireland, kept under lock and key, forced to clean and sew, and to wash away the sins of their previous life while never being paid a penny. Some stayed months, others years. Some never left. They were the inmates of Ireland's notorious 20th century workhouses, the Magdalene Laundries. And this week, with the publication of a government report into the dark history of the laundries, the women came that much closer to obtaining justice.
The laundries — a beneficent-sounding word that helped hide the mistreatment that took place inside their walls — were operated by four orders of Catholic nuns in Ireland from 1922 to 1996. Over 10,000 young women, considered a burden by family, school and the state, spent an average of six months to a year locked up in these workhouses doing unpaid, manual work. Some were kept there against their will for years. Their numbers were made up by unmarried mothers and their daughters, women and girls who had been sexually abused, women with mental or physical disabilities who were unable to live independently, and young girls who had grown up under the care of the church and the state. The laundries were "a mechanism that society, religious orders and the state came up with to try and get rid of people deemed not to be conforming to the so-called mythical, cultural purity that was supposed to be part of Irish identity," Irish historian Diarmaid Ferriter told Ireland's national broadcasting service, RTE, this week. Known as the fallen women, the workers were only entitled to leave if signed out by a family member or if a nun found a position of work for them, and if they tried to escape the confines of the home they were brought back by the Irish police.

This is very dark. Some estimate as many as 30,000 women have gone through these slave mills.
There are a lot of implications here. How many Popes knew about this? When the laundries stopped running in 1996 (at least, I hope they have stopped), that was during John Paul II's tenure. Did he know about these laundries?

Here is where you can go to find out more and where you can find ways to help.

I would like to edit the seach that presents the map on the dashboard.
Currently it shows the location of the IPs by security event.
I want to show the same but filtering by destination, for instance, show the location of the IPs that connected to a specific server in our organization.
is that possible?
It's definitely possible.
It may, however, take some work.
The ammap tool used in the Cisco app works from a static XML file that gets regenerated periodically in the background by a saved search. You would need to duplicate this functionality for each variation of the map that you want.
If you want to be able to apply filters in realtime, then you're better off converting it to use the Google Maps plugin (see link for how to do that). The Google Maps integration works differently than ammap -- each map is generated at search time for the specific result set, so you have more flexibility.
You can look at the UI Examples app or the docs to see how the XML would work. You'd probably end up wrapping the
GoogleMaps module in a
SearchSelectLister or similar.
What if you just use: eventtype="cisco_firewall" | geoip src_ip
I added the google maps app, very cool, but it doesnt work for me, it is not showing the results.
I do this search on the google app
eventtype="cisco_firewall" | lookup geoip clientip as src_ip | geonormalize
and it doesnt show me any results on the map 😞
