We stayed at the King's Courtyard Inn for our anniversary. It was wonderful! Some reviews said the rooms were too small, but ours was fine. It had some antiques (or good reproductions) with a cozy historic feel. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was a little small, but adequate, and everything was clean.
The hotel has several small courtyards with fountains where you can sit and eat your breakfast or sip wine at the 5 o'clock tasting. The room price includes a continental breakfast- you can have them bring it to your room if you want. For more money, you can get eggs or french toast or a similar breakfast if you want. The staff was uniformly pleasant and helpful. We also appreciated the free WiFi- we could research our destinations on the internet and make plans prior to going out each day.
The best part was unexpected- we ended up in Room 109, which has a small private courtyard. In the mornings they would bring our breakfast and we would sit in the courtyard and eat it. Not every room has it's own courtyard, so we were lucky to get it. Next time, I will definitely ask for this room again.
The location is another plus for this hotel. The front door exit is about 2 blocks from the Slave Market, and the exit off of the courtyard puts you directly on King Street. We parked our car on arrival and did not get in it again until we left. We were able to do all our sightseeing on foot. Be warned, however- the price of parking ($10/day) will be added onto your bill.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Built in 1853, Kings Courtyard Inn is one of downtown Charleston, South Carolina's most historic inns. Architect Francis D. Lee designed the three-story antebellum structure in the Greek revival style with unusual Egyptian detail. The building is one of King Street's largest and oldest structures, and has had many uses during its 150 year existence. The building has housed high quality shops, private residences and at one time, the upper floors served as hotel rooms for plantation owners, shipping interests and merchant guests. Kings Courtyard Inn is located in the heart of Charleston's historic district. The Inn maintains the residential atmosphere of lower King Street, and extreme care has been taken to ensure the necessary architectural and historic accuracy for which Charleston is famous. Each of the rooms has an individual distinction. All rooms feature oversized beds- some have canopied beds and fireplaces. Many rooms boast excellent views of the inn's interior courtyards. All hotel guests receive complimentary sherry on arrival and a morning newspaper delivered to the room. They also receive a continental breakfast served each morning in their room, the courtyards, or in the breakfast room. Kings Courtyard Inn is within easy walking distance of Charleston's historic homes, gardens, churches and only a block away from the City Market. Here, one may explore interesting shops or enjoy a delicious meal at one of the city's many delightful restaurants. ... more less

Uruguay international striker Diego Forlan has joined Cerezo Osaka from SC Internacional of Brazil on an estimated $5.8 million a year, a record for the increasingly austere J-League.
The 34-year-old has agreed to play for Cerezo in the upcoming March-December season, the club said in a statement posted on its website.
Forlan played 55 times and scored 22 goals for the Brazilian side he joined in July 2012.
He has previously played for big European clubs including Manchester United, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid.
At the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, he was awarded the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player and was a joint top scorer with five goals.
Cerezo Osaka, where Manchester United midfielder Shinji Kagawa cut his teeth, will pay Forlan an estimated annual wage of 600 million yen ($5.8 million), according to media reports.
That will break the previous J-League record of 300 million yen paid to former England striker Gary Lineker when he joined Nagoya Grampus in 1993, the J-League's inaugural year.
In the league's early years, its clubs spent lavishly to recruit the likes of Lineker, Zico and Pierre Littbarski.
But with limited attendance and unspectacular TV money, the league has had to manage without big names on its team sheets.
In 2013, Brazilian-Japanese defender Marcus Tulio Tanaka of Nagoya Grampus was the best paid J-League player with an annual wage of 160 million yen, according to local media.
Forlan will be the first big name in a long while to play in the J-League and his arrival is likely to liven up a national game that has seen many of its top talents decamp to Europe.
"Forlan can shoot at distance. He is also deft in front of goal," former Celtic midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura told the Tokyo Sports daily.
"The J-League has been without foreign players who also play for their countries," added the Yokohama Marinos star, 34, who retired from international football after the 2010 World Cup.
"I hope he will pump up the league with great performances."
Japan and Southampton defender Maya Yoshida said it was "amazing" that a player of Forlan's calibre would change club only months before the World Cup in Brazil.
Writing on his blog, he noted changes like that usually come after the tournament, adding: "This means he's dead serious."

Dragon Age: Origins
How do I fix the Armor & Weapons stuck on character?
MY PC is stuck with the same armor and weapons for a while now. He's melee fighting with his bow and quiver as a dual wield. The paper doll is updated with any changes to armor or weapons and the combat stats are correct for the equipment.
But, visually what I have is annoying and distracting. No amount of equipping/ unequipping fixes the problem, nor do cutscences or area changes. The only thing that works is saving and reloading. Soon after reloading the save, the armor and weapons are stuck to the PC again.
Have the same problem with Leliana dual wielding her bow and quiver.
Any one have a solution other than saving and reloading?
Pathi - 7 years ago
I had same problem. No solution aother than saving and loading the game. It's not that annoying I think, since it doesn't happen too often.
aamfirdaus - 7 years ago
yes i have that problem too. That happen when i in Ostagar after get the treaties from Flemeth and the ritual of grey warden my equipment got stuck.
I think the problems is the backpack so full, so when the cut scene happen there no place for the character too put the helmet into the back pack, so the glitch happen.

February 8, 2010
The construction of Minnesota's Northstar Commuter Rail started a dozen years ago. At the outset it sounded like a fairly modest project, one that would cost only $165 million and run from Minneapolis 80 miles northwest to St. Cloud. However, it turned out not to be so modest, says Phil Krinkie, president of the Taxpayers League of Minnesota.
The train would run on existing tracks and use readily available cars and engines so the costs would be modest. But as time passed and more engineering work was done, the cost started to escalate, says Krinkie:
- By 1999, the 80 miles to St. Cloud were projected to cost $223 million.
- In 2002 the project got cut in half, running only 40 miles from Minneapolis to Big Lake.
- Even though distance got cut into half, project costs continued to soar until, upon completion, the total reached a whopping $317 million.
The original estimate was that the line could be put into operation for $2 million a mile, but the final cost actually came in close to $8 million per mile, more than four times the original cost. Still the costs to taxpayers continue to rise, says Krinkie:
- Upon inauguration of the line, the operating costs for the first year are slated to be $16.8 million, almost double that of the earlier estimate.
- Passenger fees will cover less than 20 percent or $3.2 million of the operating costs.
- The $7 one-way fare from Big Lake to Minneapolis would be $35 if passenger fees covered the full operating costs; of course, at that price tag, no one would ride the Northstar.
The way things are, taxpayers are covering 80 percent of the cost for someone living in Big Lake to ride the Northstar back and forth to work in downtown Minneapolis. In the private sector, someone would lose his or her job over such a monumental blunder. Yet in the public arena, the chief proponent is not fired, nor even criticized, but rather congratulated on his success at bilking the taxpayers out of hundreds of millions for this Tooterville Trolley, says Krinkie.

Oxford is a charming city, famed for its prestigious university. It can be stuffy at times, feeling a bit too proper and strict, and lacking the cut-loose university town feel that cities like Bristol have. However, the city and old architecture is beautiful and I loved wandering through the campus and having a cheap beer at one of the student pubs. This city has a lot of history and the university is one of the oldest in the world. If that's something you are into (I am!), consider a visit — it's a short ride from London anyways. It's an easy day or overnight trip and, since it's a university town, there's plenty of affordable options here too!
Typical Costs
Hostel prices – Hostels range from 15-20 GBP for a dorm room, and some offer a discount for staying a week (usually around 72 GBP for the week). There are not many hostels in the city, however, so be sure to book in advance. All of the hostels in Oxford offer free WiFi, and half include free breakfast. If you want a private room, expect to pay close to 70 GBP per night.
Budget hotel prices – The average private room in a budget hotel (for a twin/double) costs between 60-80 GBP per night. Hotels and B&Bs outside the city center are cheaper, so be sure to shop around. Airbnb is available in the city, though don't expect a wide variety of options. For a bed in a shared room, you can expect to pay 30 GBP per night and closer to 80 GBP for entire apartment/home.
Average cost of food – If you eat out, stick to the cafes centered close to the university. Most give discounts to students, and whether you pick up a sandwich, salad, or bagel, you won't pay more than 7 GBP for a meal (even if you aren't a student). Fast food (think McDonald's) will cost you around 5 GBP, and a pint at a tavern will cost around 3 GBP. If you want a nicer meal at a sit-down restaurant expect to pay around 25 GBP, including a drink. If you plan on cooking for yourself (which is the best way to save money here) expect to spend 40-50 GBP per week on groceries.
Transportation costs – Oxford is an easily walkable city and compact enough to get around by foot wherever you need to go. The town is also bicycle friendly, so consider renting one for less than 13 GBP a day. Getting to the city itself is quite straight forward, as it's just under 100km from London. Trains can make the journey in 1-2 hours (buses will take a little longer) with tickets costing between 10-60 GBP, depending on when you book.
Suggested daily budget – 45-55 GBP / 55-65 USD (Note: This is a suggested budget assuming you're staying in a hostel, eating out a little, cooking most of your meals, and using local transportation. Using the budget tips below, you can always lower this number. However, if you stay in fancier accommodation or eat out more often, expect this to be higher!)
Money Saving Tips
- Get cheap food – Head out to student housing areas like Jericho and the Cowley Road for food. A taste of local flavor and an affordable meal make this a good option.
- See the student theater – You can see cheap and cutting-edge student theater during term time for a couple of pounds at the Burton Taylor theater (near the bus station).
- Walk the city – Since Oxford is on the smaller side you can walk the city quite easily. Save your money and explore on foot — it's a great way to get a feel for this historical locale!
- Couchsurf – If you want to save money AND get some local insight, couch surfing is for you! It's a great way to find out more about the city from the locals who live there so be sure to give it a try. Just send your requests in advance since there are not an abundance of hosts (it's a small city, after all).
Top Things to See and Do in Oxford
- The Ashmolean Museum – Founded in 1683, this is Britain's oldest public museum. It recently went through a renovation and displays Ancient Egyptian art, as well as an impressive Eastern Art collection. Make sure to see the Amarna Princess Fresco and the Alfred Jewel before you leave. Admission is free.
- Tour Oxford – You can take guided tours of all the colleges in Oxford. They provide a look at university life, the history of the school, the architecture, and more. Most colleges require an entrance fee, but if you go on the tour set up through the tourism office, you can avoid the cost.
- University of Oxford Botanical Gardens – The Gardens are one of Oxford's most scenic spots to take in the scenery and slower pace of town. It's a great place for a quiet stroll, and admission is only 5 GBP (discounts are available for students and seniors).
- Visit the Covered Market – This historical market is a great place to walk through and taste the local food. There are a lot of homemade meals served here, and it's the best place to do some cheap shopping for groceries in the city.
- Visit Balliol College – Founded in 1263 and part of Oxford College, this college was one of the first to create academic opportunities for women. Sit on the lawn, bring a lunch, and soak up the friendly and informal vibe of Balliol College for an afternoon.
- Hertford Bridge – Known to the locals as the 'bridge of sighs' because college students would sigh under it on their way to take their exams. It's a pretty bridge, and you can walk underneath the bridge to the Turf Tavern and commiserate with the students over a pint.
- South Park – Located in east Oxford, South Park is the largest park in Oxford, with free admission and a sweeping view of the city. On a nice day, the park is filled with people getting a tan, playing sports, and eating. Pack a lunch and enjoy a nice picnic!
- Bodleian Library – As the main research library of the University of Oxford, the Bodleian is one of the oldest libraries in Europe. It opened in 1602, and was based on the collection of Thomas Bodley. Presently, it has one of the largest collections of books in the world. The architecture on the building is very beautiful, making it definitely worth a visit!
- Punting – During the summer, punting is an ever-popular activity. Punting is essentially pushing a boat around the rivers and canals of the university of a pole. You can rent a boat or hire someone to take you, and many bring food and wine with them to make for a more interesting day. Rentals cost around 20-25 GBP per hour, and can fit up to 5 people.
- Oxford University Museum of Natural History – This museum holds the University's scientific collections of zoological, entomological, geological, paleontological, and mineralogical specimens. The exhibits are devoted to the history and diversity of life on Earth. If you are interested in learning about nature, then this extensive collection is for you. Best of all, it's free!
- Oxford Castle Unlocked – This 1000 year old castle/prison is an interesting exhibit of medieval life. Originally built in the 11th century, there are plenty of stories to read about past inmates and the crazy forms of punishment that were practiced at the time. There is also a two-hour historical ghost walking tour that departs from here. Admission is 10.75 GBP, with discounts available.
- St. Mary's Church – Located on the Thames, you have to travel by boat to get here. The architecture of the church is really unique and well preserved. It is too often overlooked, so don't miss it.
- Blackwell's Books – For the bookworm in you, this 10,000 square foot store is the largest bookstore in Europe. If you're in need of some new reading material (or just like to browse) be sure to check it out.
- Blenheim Palace – This underrated attraction is just eight short miles outside of Oxford. Featured in the movie Hamlet, it's a magnificent place to check out. Aside from the amazing architecture, the rooms are preserved with their original furniture and the grounds include a beautiful garden and a butterfly house. Admission is steep, however, with adult tickets priced at 24 GBP.

Powered by a supercharged V8, the Le Mans-style roadster was unveiled as a "running prototype" at the Paris Salon last year and is believed to carry many design cues to be seen in a new small Jaguar roadster early next century.
However, little more than 12 hours before our racetrack stint, the acclaimed and much loved head of design at Jaguar, Geoff Lawson, died of a stroke.
The XK180 had been produced under Lawson's direction and he was the man who had shaped today's three-tiered production car line-up, in sales terms the most successful range the company has ever had.
Executives of the Coventry company, though in mourning, refused to cancel any commitments and indeed insisted on the Donington drive. And so it was in this very subdued atmosphere that I slid into one of the two seats of this most unsubdued car.
Its automatic transmission (from the XK-R, and made by Mercedes-Benz) has been fitted with a push-button sequential control on the steering wheel to give shotgun-style changes.
The first two laps were as a passenger; in the hot-seat was Mike Cross, in charge of the company's ride and handling engineering and no slouch at the wheel.
Donington is a surprisingly narrow and undulating circuit (attributes not apparent on television). There are some very quick curves, a couple of extremely sharp and tricky corners and some excellent opportunities to come unstuck in a very big way.
There is, as I found myself saying on my tape recorder over the screaming of the supercharged 4.0-litre engine and the screeching of the Pirellis, "so much to hit and so many places to do it".
Gary Albrighton, principal engineer of Jaguar's Special Vehicle Operations (SVO, which produces bespoke vehicles for individual customers), told Drive that the brief for the XK180 "was to do a modern version of the D-Type which won Le Mans in the 1950s".
Officials are very coy about the cost, but Albrighton said it took a team of 52 people at SVO a total of 42 weeks. Along the way, the team was asked to produce a second car for the 1999 Detroit Motor Show. This left-hand-drive car had slightly different bodywork and trim.
If a decision were made to produce more XK180s - something Albrighton describes as extremely unlikely - it would involve a two- to three-year engineering program and the car would look very different.
So how do you road test an unfamiliar car on an unfamiliar circuit? With a tentative air and, in my case, a cowardly decision to press the traction control button and select the "Drive" position on the transmission.
There were going to be enough surprises and even in this format it wasn't too hard to reach 200 km/h on the short Donington straight.
The claimed performance figures are 0 to 100 km/h in under 5.0 seconds and a top speed of about 300 km/h.
The cockpit is quite tight and is not overly easy to get in or out. The gunmetal panelling of the dashboard and the leather seats are beautifully executed, and such unexpected features as power adjustable seats make it seem very much like a production car.
On the track the XK180 was very stable, with huge grip and a surprisingly good ride quality.
The distortion of the wraparound perspex screen was a worry, however, making it difficult to find the right line through upcoming corners; the savageness of the transmission kick-down made it hard to balance the car on the throttle with confidence. For added spice, members of various Jaguar clubs were on the circuit at the same time, making the experience one of cleaning up historic E-Types, Mark 2s and XK140s as if they were standing still.
The XK180 is not the future of Jaguar, but an interesting car nonetheless, and one we will hear more of.
As for Lawson's legacy, the XK180 is far from the final hurrah. That will be the new BMW 3 Series competitor to be launched in the first months of 2001 and which will eventually spawn the small convertible.

Some Economics of Banking Reform
Where do we stand, five years on from the start of the crisis, on progress towards banking reform? Following a stock-take of current reform initiatives, the paper reviews some economics of public policy towards banks, in particular capital requirements and the role of structural regulation in making banking systems safer. Forms of separation between retail and investment banking are compared, notably ring-fencing and complete separation. The paper concludes with reflections on the wider European policy debate following the Liikanen Report. A central theme is that banking reform needs a welldesigned combination of policies towards loss-absorbency and structural reform

Wales' Fflam festival has been postponed due to "consistently bad weather conditions" threatening to turn the event into a mud bath.
The Swansea event was due to take place over three days from July 13th to July 15th at Singleton Park.
Bands including Keane, the Cribs, Manic Street Preachers, Placebo, Feeder, Dirty Pretty Things and Supergrass were all scheduled to play at the event.
In a statement posted on the festival's website, the organisers said they had come to a "hard, but well-considered decision".
"Due to the bad weather, we have been delayed in putting the infrastructure in place and it is a big concern that the weather conditions will hugely dampen the experience we want to give all our festival goers," the statement read.
"Postponing the festival will mean that we can give everyone the Fflam festival experience they deserve, bands, organisers and festival goers alike."
The organisers expect a new date to be scheduled at the end of the summer and said they were doing everything "as quickly and efficiently as possible".
Refunds will be available shortly for those who do not wish to attend the re-arranged festival.
Before the postponement, festival goers had been told that there would be no "official festival campsite" due to licensing restrictions.
All camping holders were offered refunds.

Loved as much as he is hated, Wrinklegus Ezekiel PoisonTongue is a freelance (or some would say "vigilante") lawman, specializing in the apprehension of the worst of the worst spell weavers, who either cannot be caught by traditional methods or the authorities are afraid of altogether. PoisonTongue's style is unorthodox, as not only does he often break the very laws he's trying to upkeep, but he's fonder of killing than apprehending! There are many who'd have him strung up by his scaly ankles and vanquished at the might of a thousand wands, but the problem is that he has an enormous amount of supporters. Between his stardom from his career as a novelist and painter (activities indulged in his moments away from murdering off the scum of society), you'd be hard pressed to escape the mobs of people (children included) defending him!
Not that he'd need their help. After all, he's a prodigiously skilled spell weaver with an itchy wand hand! ...And did I mention that he's half dragon? (Yes, it's widely known that his human mother had "eccentric" tastes.) So, aside from his superhuman strength, conjuring abilities, and the fact that it would take a near impossible amount of injury to kill him, PoisonTongue is still capable of roasting an enemy alive! You may trust that he isn't one to be tested.
It is known that Wrinklegus PoisonTongue likes to masquerade about as a human, and there's top secret intelligence that states his currently assumed identity is that of "Marque Terrynamahr Strickland," a 36-year-old ****** with art and writing skills that are far too similar to his own. This last bit is a dead giveaway, as the fool even wrote a novel under that name, called "The Gift of Volkeye" (currently undergoing a rewrite). PoisonTongue is getting sloppy with covering his tracks! Still, this sorcerer is a talent of epic proportions, and I'll not be stupid enough to attempt to apprehend him myself, lest I be spell cast into the next life!
(For those wondering what "******" means, read on. If you want my secret, you'll have to work for it! :)
For those new fans and also one girl in particular that sent me an email saying, "What's the deal? You're too cool and too talented to be a * * * * * * !", here's the "FROM THE AUTHOR" section on the "Creatures, Smells, and Magykal Spells" page on a certain site, which MANY of you obviously haven't read yet! Sillies! :)
(You guys are not in grammar school any longer, LOL! Do your research before you ask silly questions…the information is out there!) Anyway, this is what you missed on the page…perhaps I'll post it in other places, too, just so that I can stop answering the question so freakin' often! You all have no idea how tiresome it is! :
Sorry, guys, I'll not be ashamed of my book simple because it tells the truth. The bottom line is this (although it isn't one of the reasons I put in the "About Me" section…it's funny I didn't think of it) : SEX CREATES BABIES!
I'm too focused on my career to give my attention to anything else. Also, until we get to where we're going, the life and the financial status of us creative folk is too up-and-down. There's no way I'll bring a child into this mess!
Excuse me, but you all have no idea how many couples I know that used every kind of protection there is, but somehow still ended up pregnant! I don't care what anyone says. On the off-chance that I'm one of those guys with super sperm that eats through condoms and completely disregards birth control, I'll not be out in the world "laying around" as if I've got no sense!
It's funny how people are flipping out, taking my virginity more personal than me. You guys are only shocked and appalled by it because you actually know what I'm missing. But me, I can't miss something I've never had, so naturally I don't give a F**K. (Pun intended!)
And, voila, my explanation! Satisfied? Good…now calm down!
I love you guys!

I can't go ten minutes without hearing about it. H1N1. It's a total pandemic alright…a pandemic of absolute irrational panic! My goodness, out of 5 Billion humans there must be…hundreds of cases. Truly, we are doomed.
I'll admit it right here…I work in news media. Well, technically I'm not a journalist per se as much as I'm the "man behind the curtain" who must maintain the network of misinformation. It's a paycheck. But I've seen enough to know that investigative journalism died years ago.
In other words, I'm just as qualified as any reporter. Odds are you are too if you can use Google.
Any rational person knows that the truth doesn't sell. We can't handle the truth nor do we want to. We want something small and tangible that we feel we might have some control over. It becomes a coping mechanism we use to avoid coming to grips with how utterly on the brink we are as a society. Ah man, you see…that's what happens when I watch "V for Vendetta" back to back with Battlestar Galactica. Get me some Weird Al…stat!
Do we really want relevant news? For example…Iran. La la la… Or the genocides in Africa? Or maybe Obama attempting to shut down portions of the news media that don't throw roses at his undeserving feet. Holy 1984 Batman…
Nope, we want the latest on the flu. We want "balloon boy". It's unfortunate really. Unfortunate that we are caught in a circle where we claim to lament the demise of the media, yet have no desire to support a relevant journalistic society. Maybe because one no longer exists.
And the media has done it to itself too. Meaningless stories, and "reporters" who are as relevant as a gnats fart in a hurricane are constantly trying to work against an ever increasing and much deserved public skepticism. Investigative journalism is now nothing more than using an internet search engine.
So my advise on H1N1? Wash your blasted hands ya filthy pigs and don't lick any door knobs. Eat right and exercise. And if by some mathematical fluke you actually do get H1N1, try and remember a time when the flu was considered simply an INCONVENIENCE, not a death sentence. Just don't give me any of that Spanish Flu fear tactic drivel, because I haven't dumped my feces into an open sewer lately or tried living solely on potatoes. Well, not since college anyway.

Mangaluru : KEF Infra, the infrastructure arm of the Singapore-based KEF Holdings will tomorrow hand over India's first wholly offsite (factory) made project, a residential project for staff and students, to Yenepoya University of Mangaluru. The project, comprising three 8-storey residential buildings covering an area of 1 lakh sq.ft., has been completed in a record nine months, and marks the successful initiation of a game-changing offsite construction technology that helps significantly reduce the duration of construction. In comparison, conventional construction methods would have taken anywhere between 24 and 36 months to complete a project of similar size.
The complex for staff and students, comprising 96 apartments, with each floor featuring 12 two-bedroom units, was completely designed, pre-engineered and manufactured at KEFInfraOne. The state-of-the-art facilities is the only plant in the world to design, pre-engineer and manufacture every element of a building, which include wall panels, hollow core slabs, bathrooms, facades, windows, doors etc. –at a single location.
An inaugural ceremony has been jointly planned for tomorrow, Wednesday, 20 October 2105 by Yenepoya University and KEF Infra wherein 500 distinguished guests will be gather to witness the handover ceremony. Ramanath Rai, Minister of Forest, Environment and Ecology, Karnataka, and U T Khader, Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Karnataka will inaugurate the complex in the presence of Nalin Kumar Kateel, Member of Parliament, Dakshina Kannada, Ivan D'Souza, Member of Legislative Council, B Ahmed Hajee Mohiudeen, Chairman BA Group, Faizal E. Kottikollon, Chairman of KEF Holdings and Yenepoya Abdulla Kunhi, Chancellor of Yenepoya University.
Kottikollon said: "KEF Infra's construction technology is well poised to bring speed, skill and scale for projects that will enable greater value and impact creation.This is evident from the fact that we were able to handover the Yenepoya residential project in a record nine months since its groundbreaking. If the traditional method of construction were to be deployed, a project of this magnitude would have taken up to two to three years to complete. As education and healthcare are the key sectors we focus on at KEF, we were keen to associate with Yenepoya University as our first client since it is a renowned center of academic excellence in Karnataka."
He added, "The project underscores our expertise in offsite construction using precast, prefabricated bathrooms, joinery, aluminum glazing and stone processing. For the first time in India, the innovative Graphic Concrete technology from Finland was used for the façade," said Kottikollon.
Yenepoya Abdulla Kunhi, Chancellor of Yenepoya University, said: "For Yenepoya University, the first private university in the district of Dakshin Kannada, the decision to become the first client of KEF Infra is further testimony to our rich tradition of embracing innovation and new technologies," said the Chancellor.
Shabana Faizal- Vice Chairperson of KEF, Andre Dienst-General Manager-KEF, Srikanth Srinivasan- Business Development Head-KEF, and Hussain Akther Yenepoya were also present during the press meet.
About the Residential Project :
– 1 lakh sq.ft. residential complex designed and constructed in a record 9 months by KEF Infra
– All elements of the buildings were manufactured at "KEFInfraOne" wholly owned and operated by KEF Infra in Krishnagir, that once completed in December this year, will be the world's largest integrated facility for offsite construction.
– The 208 bathrooms in the project were fully prefabricated, inclusive of all Mechanical Electrical and Plumbing (MEP), sanitary ware, tiling and fittings, in KEFInfraOne and transported 850km to the project site in Mangalore.
About Yenepoya University
Emboldened by the overwhelming positive response of the community and the students, the management perceived a need to develop into a University, where autonomy and self reliance would place the institutions on the global map and would internally motivate them to higher levels of excellence. The IAE sponsored the formation of a new trust, the Yenepoya University, which after due process of inspection by the University Grants Commission (UGC), was recognized by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India on 27 February 2008, vide their notification No. F.9-11/2007-U.3(A). The Yenepoya University is the first private University in the District of Dakshin Kannada (South Canara).
The University maintains its social commitment through conducting free medical, eye & dental camps, in the community. It has also adopted 2 nearby villages for comprehensive and total health care and prevention (Kotepura&Balepuni). Special attention is being given to identify and treat HIV patients. We offer total health care support to a local HIV/AIDS Care and Support Centre. The YMC also runs Prevention of Parent to Child Transmission (PPTCT) & Integrated Counseling and Testing Centre (ICTC) programmmes.

The interesting thing is that most viewers do not think of Sesame Street or The Muppets are puppetry movies, Love those movies and TV shows. I personally do not of any computer puppetry. I just know of the good old fashion puppetry movies such as "The Labyrinth," "The Dark Crystal," "The Muppet" Show and Movies and so forth.
Now if we are talking about clay-mation movies then I love those! My hubby and I love them. We have found "Coraline," "Corpse Bride," "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "Wallace and Gromit," and many others! Aardman Productions which brought us Pirates: Band of Misfits, Chicken Run, and Wallace and Gromit are the best in clay-mation pictures in my opinion! Tim Burton is also right up there near the Aardman Productions, in my opinion. Any one of these movies are great and makes a great family activity of watching movies and have the kids try to make their own movies using the same techniques as these companies

Yes Jim Henson did an amazing job creating the film The Dark Crystal.
Are you referring that clay model type animated movie? If so, then Pirates: Band of Misfits is the best out of the rest.

If I were to compile a list of today's best Christian artists that aren't receiving due attention, Andrew Peterson would be among them. Granted, not everyone can get past his nasal vocal tone, which almost comes across as a parody of Michael W. Smith and Rich Mullins. But in spite of their vocal qualities, those legends found success because of their top-notch songwriting. By the same logic, Peterson's work deserves similar recognition, and an album like
But the overall tone of
"Lay Me Down" also evokes Mullins ("Elijah") and the bright acoustic pop of Caedmon's Call, while pondering the subject of where one's body will lay and how it relates to the eternal. "The Queen of Iowa" recalls the folksy storytelling of Mullins, here offering a personal anecdote about Peterson (and producer/keyboardist Ben Shive) playing in the living room of a fan dying of AIDS. Dark as that may sound, it's an example of a Christian facing death with dignity, love, and hope: "I could see my illusions scatter/Every time she drew a breath/I could see the heart of the matter/The heart is a matter of life and death." Then there's "More," co-written by folk-great Pierce Pettis and reminding us that death is only the beginning of true life. Because the song is more observational than narrative, it'll make a great reassurance at funerals.
Peterson has a love for fantasy and uses it to carry his themes further. Tolkien fans will recognize "The Havens Gray" as a reference to the setting at the end of
Still, the overall sound is strong, thanks to a bevy of musical talent that includes Andrew Osenga (Caedmon's Call), Jill Phillips, and Shive, who deserves more production work based on this album. You can sense an effort from everyone involved to be real, not rote, with the music. And Peterson excels with relatable lyrics grounded in both Scripture and everyday life, thus communicating timeless truths, rather than merely reciting them. I've often compared Peterson to Mullins, but that's beginning to seem a little unfair after five years. Peterson has since proven himself a capable songwriter in his own right, to the point where we should be comparing others to him, instead of the other way around.

HK consumers largely ready to embrace P2P payment
Hong Kong is edging closer to becoming a cashless society. To date, a total of 13 companies had already been awarded Stored Value Facilities (SVF) licenses in addition to 2 licensed banks that are regarded as SVF licensees.
What does this mean for Hong Kong consumers? More choices! The issuance of these SVF licenses is expected to usher greater adoption of mobile payments as choices abound.
But can a city of seven million accommodate so many payment options? Can Hong Kong sustain what may well be a very competitive marketplace in 2017?
A recent survey by Joint Electronic Teller Services Limited ('JETCO') reveals that consumers welcome the availability of such services. Among the 502 respondents to the survey, 76% had used the mobile payment services in Hong Kong, suggesting that the local mobile payment market could soon enter a period of high growth.
Other data points of the survey include:
- 43% of respondents have used peer-to-peer (P2P) transfer service with most indicating continued use of P2P service in 2017.
- 30% of those surveyed said they use P2P transfer service at least once a week
- 29% of those who never used P2P transfer service indicate willingness to try it in 2017
- 56% of respondents want mobile payment to be bundled with credit card or bank accounts
About 70% of respondents say they use mobile payment to settle bills. There is also preference among P2P users to have multiple payment options, including the ability to link credit cards, bank accounts and for topping up private-label stored value cards.
The survey also revealed that 70% of respondents admit to preferring to use a P2P payment service that is offered by banks (as opposed to non-banks) suggesting a higher degree of confidence among Hong Kong consumers in the banking industry.
According to JETCO's CEO Angus Choi, the survey reflects growing acceptance of the convenience and security offered by mobile payment services. While convenience was cited as one of the main reasons for using the service, security was the biggest hurdle among those who have refrained from using P2P payment.
Although real time payment is now possible with JETCO, widespread adoption of P2P payment transfer remains elusive in Hong Kong. There is a lack of interoperability among the different players in the market, including banks.
"For people to enjoy a truly convenient and barrier-free P2P services, there needs to be one interoperable P2P platform," he commented.
He believed that to succeed in the mobile payment market, one must be able to bridge the confidence gap between finance and technology.
JETCO which launched its JETCO Pay P2P service in April 2016 has four banks, China CITIC International Bank, Shanghai Commercial Bank, Wing Lung Bank and Dah Sing Bank, among its 36 member banks using the new P2P payment service. Choi confirmed two more will join the service in January 2017.
While he confirmed that registration to the service is rising, he also noted that other banks were taking a wait and see approach. At the moment there are too many mobile payment options in the market and banks are uncertain which options customers will prefer, and more important, which the payment strategy that bank itself will take.

Like to Gossip? Catch Up, but Don't Get Caught Up
Sunday, October 1, 2006
I'm not much for fridge magnets, but I do have one that I'm fond of. A gift from a friend a few years ago, it features four chatty-looking women with the words: "We're not gossiping, we're networking."
What are you doing when you're standing around the water cooler, or trading conspiratorial tales with co-workers at the local coffee shop? (You know the news is going to be juicy when you need to go off site to so much as whisper it.) Do you walk away from these "don't tell anyone I told you this but" gab sessions feeling empowered or guilty?
Of course, there are advantages to staying "in the loop," but being privy to unofficial information can also put you in an awkward spot, as one recent participant in my online chat found out. The person's boss had chosen to share the news a few weeks ago at a staff meeting that the work done by their department was going to be contracted out starting in October. The official announcement had not yet been made.
"He had been told not to tell us, but many of us have families, and he wanted us to know. Everyone appreciated what he did," the chatter wrote. "By telling us, he is putting his job in jeopardy -- the directors weren't supposed to mention this to the employees."
The problem? One co-worker couldn't keep this news to herself. "[She] has been vocal in her agitation. We have asked her to keep quiet since our director would be fired if this got out. But she keeps pushing."
The chatterer wanted to know if there was anything his colleagues could do to protect the director from the potentially dangerous blabbermouth. "He isn't regretting what he did, but he is worried."
Unfortunately, when you share information like that, there's always a chance someone will misuse it. Clearly, there's a good way to gossip at work and a bad way. How can you tell which is which?
Bad gossip . . .
· Is petty. This isn't high school. Unless you're working at a beauty salon, or someone's grooming habits are so out of the ordinary that they affect the business's bottom line, talking about people's looks is just dumb. Same for any conversation you're tempted to start about what people eat for lunch.
· Is indiscreet. Even in the case of information that is clearly important to a lot of people, it's best to pass on news one person at a time, not at a staff meeting or with a small group of people over drinks. And if it's something that could embarrass or upset another person -- including the person you're sharing the information with -- take it behind closed doors. This rule applies even when other people aren't being discreet and something has become common knowledge in an office. And watch the e-mails; they create a trail back to you and can easily be taken out of context.
· Is primarily intended to harm someone. Fine, you don't like Sue from accounting. But if every time you open your mouth, all that comes out is some new gripe about her, pretty soon people aren't going to like you . It doesn't matter if you have a good reason to hate her (she keeps sending you half-finished reports, forcing you to scramble to meet your own deadlines) -- or goofy ones (she stole your boyfriend during freshman year in college).
Good gossip . . .
· Is relevant. So you can't slam Sue from accounting in random conversations, but if someone asks you what you think about her work habits, you can share the troubles you have had in getting the reports you need from her. This will carry a lot more weight if you don't already have a reputation (see, this cuts both ways!) for having an ax to grind.
· Helps people make important decisions. The tip-off by the online chatterer's boss is a classic example. (Though he would have been better off telling his department members one at a time.) Passing along this information early gave his charges crucial weeks to adjust to losing their jobs.
· Helps people do their jobs better. Before you share some tidbit, especially if it's a negative thing you heard about the person you're about to share it with, ask yourself: What can this person do with the information? Is the issue something she can change? Put yourself in our lazy accountant's position. Maybe Sue didn't realize she was doing the reports wrong, and now she can find out what the problem is, saving her own job and saving the company a lot of money.
Of course, there's probably not much she can do to make up for that freshman-boyfriend-stealing incident.

Anyone know why this query is so slow? It the nature of a left join just slow? Any suggestions on how to write it better? Thanks in advance for the help.

Cotton Sector Strategies in West and Central Africa
Cotton production in West and Central Africa (WCA) has contributed to growth and poverty reduction. Recently, the objective of poverty alleviation has been adversely impacted by the downward pressures on world prices (exacerbated by subsidies by major cotton producers outside Africa). Several countries in WCA are undergoing reforms in the cotton sector to stimulate greater market competition and raise the share of the international price going to farmers. While these efforts would help to improve rural income irrespective of the world market situation, they would be more powerful in combination with a reduction in other countries' subsidies in this sector.

Unanswered: modifying data across two linked databases
access 2002 sp3
windows xp home sp3
two linked databases (customers.mdb and customersdata.mdb)
(customer.mdb is the database that is opened for normal use)
this is not a database that i created. i don't know the development history. it was very likely originally created using access 8 or 9. i'm unfamiliar with access upgrade compatibility issues so i'm mentioning this in case there were ever any (i'm not seeing any problems during normal database use).
if there is any additional information i can provide that will help in helping me please don't hesitate to ask.
my primary need:
there are two linked databases that manage customer addresses and orders (low volume, ~200/year). the database has a few phone number fields that only allow 7-digit numbers. these fields need to be expanded to accommodate 10-digit phone numbers. additionally, i need to prefix all existing phone numbers with a particular area code (i imagine using some type of search and replace routine).
my initial problem (other than the fact that i'm an access newbie) was that i did not realize that there were two linked databases. so i was attempting to modify fields in tables (in customers.mdb) that were linked to another database (customersdata.mdb)--this didn't work very well :)
once i figured out that there was a second linked database (customersdata.mbd) i attempted to modify the phone number fields and data in that database. i was more successful (in that i could actually modify the phone number field properties), but not understanding the overall database design i was left wondering why my changes to the actual data (in customersdata.mdb) didn't display in the forms that were viewed when customers.mdb was invoked.
so that leads me to my first question, what do i need to learn about the database design that will help me to understand the relationship between the data that i see in customers.mdb and the data in customersdata.mdb?
my second question is how do i perform a proper search and replace on data in an access table? i think i'm mainly stuck on how to use wildcards. the example being, i have a phone number field that i've expanded to 10 characters that is populated with numbers that appear in this format "(___) 123-4567)". my initial attempt was to perform a search and replace on just the area code portion by searching for "(???)" and replacing with "(111)". access complained about not being able to find the given string. so then i attempted to search for "(???) ???-????" and replace with "(111) ???-????". this worked better in that access could find the string, but i was hoping that by specifying wildcards in the replace string that access would leave the existing 7-digit data untouched. no-go, access replaced the 7-digit data with question marks.
i then attempted to copy the data to an external editor, perform the search and replace there, and paste the corrected data back into the table. access didn't appear to like me pasting data back into the table (it issued some type of "primary key" complaint that i did not record). i may have gotten further with the pasting of the data back into the table but i suspended my investigation in order to post to this forum.
i've also seen a seemingly odd error message as i've poked around behind the scenes. if anyone could shed any light on this i'd be very grateful.
when switching from the Design to the Datasheet view for any of the tables in customers.mdb i always see this message (i also see this message if i'm in the Datasheet view for any table in customers.mdb and switch to customersdata.mdb):
Microsoft Visual Basic
Run-time error '2194':
You can't set the PictureData property in Datasheet view.
thanks for any and all help,

President/CEO Troy Tomlinson heads the Nashville offices of Sony/ATV the world's largest publishing company and a Music City cornerstone with roots that reach back to the founding of Tree Publishing in 1951. Tomlinson rose up through the ranks "old school," starting in the tape copy room. On his journey he learned from publisher giants like Rick Hall (Fame Music) and Jerry Bradley (Acuff-Rose) and worked with incredible songwriters like Dean Dillon, Whitey Shafer and many, many more.
When Sony/ATV purchased Acuff-Rose in 2002, Tomlinson transitioned to the catalog's new home. A few years later (2005) the Portland, TN native was chosen to succeed Donna Hilley and promoted to his current Sony/ATV post.
The following conversation happened last week in Tomlinson's 4th floor office immediately following a creative team meeting. The mood was buoyant and carried over into our interview.
NEKST.biz: History placed you in the role of stepping in after Donna Hilley who was revered by the community and her Sony/ATV songwriter family. You spoke beautifully at her memorial service and her portrait hangs in the conference room. Do you ever feel her smiling or watcing over your shoulder, proud of how you're protecting the company legacy?
Troy Tomlinson: People can talk to me about hits, growth or years at No. 1, but the times when someone says something to me that in any way puts Donna and I in the same sphere as it relates to love of writers, that's the greatest compliment that I could ever receive. Following Donna is impossible, but hopefully my strengths, what ever they are, will prove right for the moment and for the company.
NEKST.biz: You were quickly called upon to play a key company role with the EMI acquisition. Describe the process?
Troy Tomlinson: The EMI deal started to get real during Spring 2012. By June it was clearly going to happen and the acquisition was completed in July. Nashville is a close knit community so the logistical problems of blending two writer rosters and creative teams was relatively easy here compared with other territories around the world where the Sony and EMI offices may have been in different cities. I contacted all the EMI writers as soon as possible to personally let them know what was happening. The most difficult part was not being able to bring the entire EMI staff over. The final priority was treating the folks right that weren't going to be able to make the transition and making sure everyone arriving understood—from that point on, we will all develop, grow, work and succeed together as one big family.
NEKST.biz: This was pretty ambitious.
Troy Tomlinson: It took time to reassure all those writers who had written for our No. 1 competitor before the merger how much we valued them. The key to success was the willingness of the six EMI staffers we brought over to jump on board and the spirit of the Sony/ATV employees who welcomed them with open arms. Preparing for this change meant coming in on Saturday and Sunday for months in advance, spreading out everything on conference room tables and devising a plan. We got all the necessary support we could ask for from Marty Bandier and the finance team which was critical.
NEKST.biz: What about the admin department?
Troy Tomlinson: Sony/ATV worldwide administration was at the old Acuff Rose property at 65 Music Sq W. but space there was already maxed without the added admin duties of EMI. Staying on the Row would have been wonderful, but we simply couldn't find a property that was right for our needs. Dale Esworthy is Sr. VP of Admin so that quest became his responsibility. We wound up with a space at the Fifth Third building downtown and if all goes well we'll move about 150 employees there at the end of the year.
NEKST.biz: What are some of the deal changes facing writers these days?
Troy Tomlinson: Writer advances have eased downward for beginner and mid-level writers. However, because of the shift in PRO performance income due to the new radio deals and contracting album sales and mechanical royalties, we've had to look closer at the higher end advances. Ten years ago, for example, we might advance say $100-$150k a year for some writers because we could recoup with just a few album cuts on huge albums. And then the single we might get from those cuts was the gravy on the deal. Unfortunately, today we have to be a bit more cautious.
NEKST.biz: Artist co-writes?
Troy Tomlinson: Now, more than ever we spend time managing writer schedules. Writing with artists is a large source of cuts. But what if a writer ends up putting a lot of eggs in one basket with a new or proven artist who then either doesn't break or record the songs? We have a creative A&R team that actively manages co-writes. Writers are going to be drawn to co-write with the artists and writers they have relationships with or where the artist is requesting them, but our creative team is there to help balance the process.
NEKST.biz: Your job is highly demanding and yet right in the middle of a major acquisition you agreed to serve as Chairman of the CMA. Why?
Troy Tomlinson: When we stop serving we might as well leave. I mean, leave the planet. The greatest moments of a human being's life are when they are serving others with no compensation. So to be asked by my peers to participate in a role like Chairman of the Board for the CMA, an organization I knew and revered even as a child, there was no way to refuse. My plate was plenty full a year ago when we were simply Sony/ATV. Then came EMI and the CMA role began six months after that. So right now you could jokingly say, "My cup runneth over." Does it require a lot of time? Absolutely. But, with the right attitude it's relatively manageable.
NEKST.biz: Are you still acquiring song catalogs and bullish about the future?
Troy Tomlinson: Overall my attitude for the future is super positive. I can't escape several basic points. Right now more people want music in more configurations than ever before in history. They are able to get music more economically than ever before and the delivery or distribution of music is fast and hassle free even from your phone. With all that happening, how can I not be optimistic about a future where we can monetize that engagement at a fairer level. But we aren't there yet. People used to say publishing was a penny business, unfortunately, today it's becoming milli-pennies and there are inequities that disproportionately punish the very creators of the songs. I honestly believe though that most everyone would say, "I want those people that wrote the song my wife and I used at our wedding to be fairly compensated." So long-term I believe the future is good.

We in the National Park Service take very seriously our responsibility to care for the historic cherry trees along the Tidal Basin, the Mall and memorial parks, so it was a great disappointment to see a photo on the front page of the March 11 Metro section showing a couple in a hammock suspended from two of those trees ["Warm and cozy"].
Hanging a hammock from a tree in a National Park is prohibited and, more important, damages a natural resource that belongs to the American people. While the couple may have thought what they were doing was harmless, it is not. Every year cherry trees are damaged by people climbing and breaking branches, which exposes the trees to diseases and pests and can shorten their lives.
The timing of the photo is especially unfortunate. In less than two weeks, millions of people will be visiting Washington for the National Cherry Blossom Festival, and it would be disastrous if even a small fraction of them saw the photo and assumed the National Park Service allowed such activity. We work hard to take care of the trees, which are a national treasure, but we need the help and cooperation of the public to keep them healthy.
Robert A. Vogel, Washington
The writer is superintendent of the National Mall and Memorial Parks.
The photo of two people in a hammock hung between two cherry trees along the Tidal Basin is ridiculous. How are we going to preserve our parks if we reward people who break the rules by allowing their children to climb in the trees or, in this case, string a hammock between trees? The offenders should have been ticketed by Park Police. Publishing photos like this only encourages others to break the rules. Wake up, Post, and stop contributing to the problem!
Marjorie Weyers, Alexandria
Why would The Post encourage people to abuse the cherry trees by featuring a large photo? It would have been better to show Park Service officers telling the people to remove their hammock. Of course, that assumes the officers who usually patrol against such things were still on duty and had not been furloughed.
Bonnie Becker, Springfield
