When it comes to outdoor living spaces, there are more masonry materials available than ever to create just the look you want.
While natural stone for retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fire pits and more may be the gold standard, Jason Carroll, inside sales representative at Midwest Block and Brick, says there are a host of more affordable options.

Kingfisher Airlines (KFA) has approached the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) seeking approval to reduce its current flight operations, a civil aviation ministry source told moneycontrol.com.
Kingfisher Airlines (KFA) has approached the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) seeking approval to reduce its current flight operations, a civil aviation ministry source told moneycontrol.com. With expenses outstripping revenues by a wide margin, the airline has no other option but to downsize flights further, the source added.
When contacted, the KFA spokesperson denied that any such request was made to the DCGA.
Domestically, the airline currently has around 18-20 aircraft operating more than 100 flights daily. It is learnt that it wants to scale it down further by at least 30%. KFA's quarterly expenditure on an average has been around Rs 1,700 crore, while revenues are now down to around Rs 800 crore. KFA is in a bind. The airline has been doing everything to reduce cost; cutting down on flights and staff. But less flights also means lower revenues.
The airline whose market share is now reduced to a fourth has lost its bargaining power and is selling tickets at least 20% lower then its competitors just to regain its market it lost due to reduced flight operations.
This has put the airline in a tight spot as its cost per mile is higher then its revenue per seat. For FY12 its cost per seat averaged at Rs 4.75 million while its revenue was Rs 4.29 million.
It may be recalled that the airline's CEO recently comforted his employees that the airline is actively pursuing fund raising plans and once foreign direct investment is allowed in the sector a foreign carrier will pick up stake in the carrier. However, there is a raging debate on who will want to invest in the loss-laden carrier?
Kingfisher Air stock price
On , 2015, Kingfisher Airlines closed at Rs 1.36, up Rs 0.00, or 0.00 percent. The 52-week high of the share was Rs 3.69 and the 52-week low was Rs 1.16.
The latest book value of the company is Rs -166.59 per share. At current value, the price-to-book value of the company was -0.01.

After my letter a couple of weeks ago about the state getting out of the liquor business, I received a phone message from a young lady about the Johnstown Flood Tax that is levied on all wine and spirits.
She said no matter who runs the liquor business it wouldn't make any difference to the consumer because of this "tax." I never heard of this tax, being from Maryland, so I looked it up, and there it was - a 10 percent tax imposed in 1936 to help rebuild Johnstown after the 1936 flood. With help from the federal government, the rebuilding was completed in about 6 years, but the tax was never repealed.
To make this even worse, the tax was actually increased to 15 percent in 1963 and to 18 percent in 1968. The state increased a hidden tax that was no longer being used for its original purpose.
I guess this is what they call a "cash cow" for the commonwealth.
On top of that, citizens of Pennsylvania have to pay the 6 percent sales tax on the 18 percent hidden tax on their wine and liquor purchases. Tax on tax! I wouldn't think that was even legal.
If I pay 50 cents "flood tax" on a bottle of wine, I have to pay another 3 cents in sales tax on the tax. Even if it is legal, the Legislature should add repealing this onerous tax to any legislation that gets the state out of the liquor business. Enough is enough!
I wonder how many citizens of Pennsylvania even know about the "flood" tax.

A dispute over a parking spot resulted in one man being stabbed with an ice pick Sunday, said Sgt. Robert Pitts of the Springfield Police Department.
The incident occurred around 1:13 p.m. at 3020 S. Glenstone Ave., the parking lot of Chili's Grill and Bar.
Pitts said the alleged stabber, an 18-year-old woman, was angry because she believed another motorist took her parking space. She allegedly used an ice pick to stab him multiple times.
The victim was taken to a hospital to be treated for nonlife-threatening injuries.
The alleged attacker fled, but police were able to find her because witnesses had her license plate number. She was arrested, but has not yet been charged.
The victim had not previously met the attacker, Pitts said.

The System (1953)
Palace Theatre Presents 'The System'
It seems quite appropriate for Warner Brothers' "The System," a stultified excursion into contemporary crime, to have opened at the Palace yesterday. The morning weather was drab and depressing. So was the picture.
It was a dreary attempt to pass off a successful bookie, Frank Lovejoy, as a solid business man who has operated his network of horse-rooms nicely for twenty years without bothering anyone. And then just because some stupid youngster is killed while robbing a store to pay off his gambling tab, there is the very devil to pay.
A crusading newspaper man exposes things, Senate Committees investigate, all sorts of annoying incidents happen to this saintly scofflaw who is "just a good business man."
To continue outlining the plot would only confuse, but Mr. Lovejoy's world is shattered in the end and his son commits suicide over his father's activities. Jail is his fate, but his girl friend kisses him off at the train and assures him she'll wait. They always do.
The sad fact to be faced is that there is not a single thing to recommend "The System." The performance of the feminine lead, Joan Weldon, is embarrassing in its inadequacy. Mr. Lovejoy makes an honest effort in a professional way, but the script is such a peachy morass he has no chance. That Lewis Seiler, the director, should fail so is more disappointing when one recalls his memorable "Guadalcanal Diary." Forget this fiasco, for it is one of those soggy melodramas that serve only to fill out double bills.
THE SYSTEM, screen play by Jo Eisinger, based on a story by Edith and Samuel Grafton; directed by Lewis Seiler; produced by Sam Bischoff for Warner Bros. At the Palace.

Felice Stuart . . . . . Joan Weldon

Indoor air quality may improve once new wood products are made with environmentally friendly, starch-based adhesives--rather than with adhesives made solely from petrochemicals.
Agricultural Research Service scientists have developed a process to make a strong, moisture-resistant adhesive from a combo of cornstarch, polyvinyl alcohol, latex and citric acid. The process requires no volatile formaldehyde or phenols found in conventional wood adhesives. That could be a major selling point for wood products companies: indoor air quality that poses less health risk for the workers.
A fire retardant could be added to composite wood products made with the starch adhesive. Materials with this treatment might be appropriate for kitchen counter tops where many home fires begin and produce toxic fumes.
For outdoor settings, considerable improvement in moisture resistance might be needed to make the new adhesive stand up to weather. But in test conditions harsher and more humid than most indoor settings, plywoods made from birch veneer and starch adhesive measured up to commercial ones. In 98 percent of samples the adhesive proved stronger than the wood.
The researchers at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, Peoria, Ill., came upon the idea of making wood adhesives from starch while researching totally biodegradable starch-based films. Their goal was, and still is, to find ways to make alternatives to plastic agricultural mulch films now used to curb weed growth amid high- value agricultural crops.
Plywood paneling and furniture made from particle board sold each year in the U.S. contain more than a billion pounds of adhesives.
ARS is the U.S. Department of Agricultures chief scientific research agency.
An article about the research appears in the April issue of ARS' Agricultural Research magazine.

Baldev Duggal, founder and CEO of Duggal Visual Solutions in New York City, has no trouble explaining what his company does. "Fusing the technology of the future with the craftsmanship of the past to deliver innovative visual solutions—period, that's what we do 24/7/365," he says. The company doesn't "sell" in the traditional sense; it just shows the work it's already done to prospective customers and relies on its reputation, he says. The reason he chose Mercedes-Benz Sprinter to be the mobile embodiment of this philosophy is equally straightforward. "Mercedes-Benz, like our company, combines cutting-edge technology with an old-world commitment to craftsmanship and quality," he says. "How could there be any other choice for Duggal Visual Solutions?"
"The Sprinter is thoughtfully designed and produced to be environmentally friendly through and through."
Besides being a leader in the imaging market in the greater New York metropolitan area, Duggal Visual Solutions was an early adopter of environmentally friendly products and practices in its industry. Among his other projects, Duggal has invested several million dollars in the Duggal Greenhouse in the old Brooklyn Navy Yards, utilizing environmental design elements to transform a dilapidated ship repair facility into an aesthetically pleasing carbon-neutral waterfront greenhouse. "Environmental issues are important to me," he says. "The fuel economy of the BlueTEC diesel engine is one reason we bought our first Sprinter and why we are buying another one now."
Combining messaging and practicality
Duggal has been featuring its Eco-Imaging line of products and services for several years. "We decided to utilize the Sprinter as a canvas for displaying this message because of its fuel efficiency and other environmentally friendly aspects," he says. "The graphics we designed and printed for the Sprinter showcase this work." Practical considerations were equally important. The company uses its Sprinter for product deliveries and pick-up throughout the city and for travelling to do installations. "Driver and passenger safety, durability, reliability, being able to hold up to New York City potholes and maneuver through its crowded streets—all these things are important to us," he says. So important, in fact, that Duggal Visual Solutions is now adding a 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Model 2500 High Roof Cargo Van with 144-inch wheelbase to its fleet.
Sprinter has helped his business grow by improving its ability to make timely deliveries while spreading awareness of the company's environmentally friendly products and mission, Duggal says. "The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter embodies the kind of innovation, forward thinking, and leadership that we pursue in our own business," he adds. "We always look for the new and the innovative, and that's just what we get with the Sprinter."

Kentucky's James Young, Julius Randle and Alex Poythress celebrate as shocked Wisconsin players stand behind them after the Wildcats defeated the Badgers Saturday night at the Final Four at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. April 5, 2014

Film study on the final opponent, Connecticut, would have to wait until he woke up. But then this nagging thought:

November 30, 2015
LOS ANGELES (November 1, 2012)--Two men were in custody Thursday after the Halloween shootings of four people on the University of Southern California campus.
USC police Capt. David Carlisle said two men outside the Ronald Tudor Campus Center party were arguing at around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday when one of them pulled a gun and opened fire.
One man was shot several times and critically wounded.
Three bystanders were also wounded with non-life-threatening injuries.
None of the people involved was a USC student.
The 100 people in the students-only party were kept inside and a campus-wide shelter-in-place e-mail alert was sent.
Carlisle says the two men were arrested about 10 minutes after the shooting and the alert was called off.
In April, two USC graduate students from China were shot to death in a car near the campus.

Science Colloquium
A black-box approach to machine learning
Yoav Freund
Monday, March 10, 2003
Host: Richard Cole, email@example.com, 212-998-3119
I will present a new approach to the study and development of machine learning algorithms.
The goal of a learning algorithm is to produce a good decision algorithm for a repetitive decision task. A decision algorithm receives as input an instance (sensory data) and outputs a decision (an action). After the decision has been made, there is a measurable outcome. We assume the existence of a loss function which quantifies the utility of a decision with respect to an outcome.
My main focus is on binary classification tasks. In this case, the decision is binary, the outcome is binary, and the loss is 1 if the decision and outcome don't match and 0 if they do.
Given these definitions and a source of instances and outcomes, we can evaluate the performance of any decision algorithm. In this way we can ignore the internal workings of the decision algorithm and treat it as a "black box".
The practical advantage of the black-box approach is that it gives us a measuring stick for comparing all types of decision algorithms, regardless of how they are constructed or analyzed. By extension, it gives us a way of comparing all types of learning algorithms.
From a theoretical point of view, the task is to develop and analyze learning algorithms that combine several black boxes into a new box with better performance. The resulting box can then be used as a component in other combining algorithms.
The theoretical guarantees that we prove are relative rather than absolute. Absolute guarantees, which are the norm in theoretical analysis of adaptive algorithms, make detailed assumptions about the data distribution. Instead, we prove bounds which relate the performance of the learning algorithm to the performance of the black-box algorithms it combines. These learning algorithms include boosting, online combining of expert advice, and pseudo-Bayesian averaging.
In this talk I will outline the approach, describe some of my work on the theory and practice of learning algorithms, and suggest some of the implications of this work on the foundations of statistical inference and on the development of adaptive software.

Mobile App Build Automation with Buildozer
Mobile App Build Automation with Buildozer
Egeniq released Buildozer, a cloud-based build automation tool for mobile applications. Currently it supports build and distribution for iOS and Android applications. The primary goal of Buildozer is to speed up development by completely automating the build and distribution process. The service is still marked as beta.
Similar to continuous integration systems, Buildozer observes the code repository of an application. If it detects changes, it triggers a new build and distributes the signed application to developers and testers. Applications are distributed by mail or via an accompanying mobile app. Buildozer does not support Testflight yet, but already features Testflight distribution as an upcoming feature on its website.
Buildozer is able to connect to Git and Subversion source code repositories. Developers have to provide a user and password or certificate which will be securely stored on the build-server. Builds that are ready for testing are stored in a secure bucket on Amazon S3.
Besides building an application, Buildozer also applies various validations to improve overall product quality. For instance, applications are verified to be app store ready.
Monthly subscription fees for Buildozer reach from free to $179, depending on the number of projects, monthly builds, data traffic and other account features.
Buildozer is developed by Egeniq, a Netherlands based company in the field of mobile application development. Besides actual development, Egeniq also offers services related to architecture and consultancy.

Free Weed
When I saw Free Weed play "Rainier Beer" from their Lillerne Tapes release Free a few weeks ago in Portland, main man Erik Gage and his on-stage dance support, Unkle Funkle, pantomimed (because the bar didn't have it) shaking, opening, and spraying tall boys of Rainier all over each other. It was like a scene from some early-90s teenage movie celebrating beer, drugs, and summer break. In fact, Free in its entirety is just pop-punk and fun enough to soundtrack an entire film from the irresponsible-teenagers-making-bad-decisions genre.
Listen to it below, buy the album from Lillerne Tapes, and prepare yourself for some serious bro-ing down.

The Game
"Black Jesus"
Before I get to the track review let me just share a little story: on Election Day, I ran into the Game outside of a TGI Friday's restaurant near Madison Square Garden. I had assumed the mob was because the TGI Friday's had been designated as a polling place, but then I saw him standing there, taking pictures with fans and just in general being a very nice dude – so I'm gonna just go and declare him the king of that TGI Friday's.
Anyway, "Black Jesus" is a Sap-produced track that didn't make Jesus Piece, the California rapper's upcoming album (it's set to drop December 11). It's a very chill track, with a repetitive hook, some zen instrumentals, and a convenient list of luxury items available in the color black. Check it out.

Infinity Frequencies
Sunset Limited
Oh man, remember when you couldn't fucking wait for Microsoft Train Simulator 2?! Yeah, me neither, but I bet it would have been sick! Train Simulator 2 is one example of what the computer industry calls vaporware — software, hardware, and games that were announced and anticipated, but were never actually released to the public. In 2012, we music nerds have a similar word, vaporwave, but it means something different entirely. This digital, sample-driven, cheese-laden, cyber-pop seems to come out of nowhere, with zero hype whatsoever. Maybe I'm just not paying close enough attention, but to me, this music seems to be made by completely anonymous individuals on some Sim island at the surreal midpoint between Los Angeles and Tokyo, who record 2-3 albums a day, and release them on the internet for free every other month or so. Whoever/wherever/wheneverthefuck this shit is coming from, I'm not sick of vaporwave yet. And now that we're getting deep into fall, the waves are getting smaller and the vapor billows in thick like the autumn mist at dawn.
Infinity Frequencies is one of these mysterious producers, who has released several full-length records in the past few months and has just posted a new one called Sunset Limited. With some familiar samples, creamy sax solos, and extra cheese, Sunset Limited makes for the perfect record to cruise through the drizzle with the heater blasting and the windows down.

Monopoly Child Star Searchers
The Garnet Toucan
Coming down from his prior 2012 release Inner Tube with Mark McGuire, Spencer Clark fills all our Living Room Visions with star-searching on the highest astral planes, thanks to Underwater Peoples. The Garnet Toucan, Clark's new album, beholds the final work of his "Romance Audio Trilogy," succeeding Bamboo for Two and Make Mine Macaw.
I'm heavily influenced as a thinker by Spencer's creative music and writing. I read The Garnet Toucan poem by Clark in a free zine called Linda (co-curated by me!), which originally came in an order from Tomentosa in April. Actually, ALL the releases I own by Spencer has some form of literature in them. As a companion to his musical works, his writing is spot on and presents the most neolithic science fiction creativity known to Earth. Here's what he had to say about his "Romance Audio Trilogy":
The intention in these works lies in finding a symbolic, exotic, animal to unleash a psychoactive environment expression that leads one to an elaborate meeting with the natural world. The Garnet Toucan completes the trilogy by uncovering the symbolic animal's transfiguration into the outerzone of infinite space. The Parrot or Toucan is thought of as a mediator between human and nature…
And listen to The Garnet Toucan here:
The Garnet Toucan is out tomorrow, November 20, on Underwater Peoples. I'll be conducting an interview with Spencer Clark in January, so keep your eyes peeled or hit me up with questions to ask!

Zola Jesus
"Diamonds (Rihanna Cover)"
Zola Jesus is largely indebted to 80s icons like Kate Bush and the Cocteau Twins, but she's recently come out with a cover of Rihanna's recent (and sort of underwhelming) single, "Diamonds." Her throaty wails have a lot more heft than those on Ri's original take, while the instrumentation and effects are decidedly trippier, draping the mid-tempo anthem in gauzy atmospherics. As usual, one of the most intriguing aspects of ZJ's vocal is how it manages to be so rough around the edges — and at times, even slightly out-of-tune — but also so potent and affecting. Those looking for a spot-on rendition of the more polished original might not like this goth-ier cover, but they're missing out — the New York chanteuse continues to intrigue.

The University of Beira Interior (Universidade da Beira Interior or UBI for short) is a public university located in the city of Covilhã, Portugal. It was created in 1979, and has about 6,879 students distributed across a multiplicity of graduation courses, awarding all academic degrees in fields ranging from medicine and biomedical sciences to aeronautical engineering to mathematics. The university is named after the historical Beira region, meaning Beira Interior the most interior area of Beira, mainly composed by the district of Guarda and the district of Castelo Branco, in today's Centro region.
In August 1973, following a major change in the national higher education system, the government established a polytechnical institution in Covilhã, the Polytechnic Institute of Covilhã (IPC - Instituto Politécnico da Covilhã), which was the first higher education institution in the city. Over the years, the IPC facilities, as well as the enrolment and staff, never ceased to grow. This growth and the region's needs, led the IPC to a remarkable level of achievements that granted it, in 1979, to be promoted, by the Portuguese Ministry of Education, to a higher institutional level, university institute. Seven years later, in 1986, the University Institute of Beira Interior was granted full university status and renamed University of Beira Interior (Universidade da Beira Interior).
For teaching and research purposes, UBI is organised into five Faculties. The Faculties are organised in Departments:
- The Faculty of Sciences includes the Department of Mathematics, Informatics; Physics; and Chemistry.
- The Faculty of Engineering Sciences includes the Departments of Textile Science and Technology; Paper Science and Technology; Electromechanical Engineering; Civil Engineering; and Aerospace Sciences.
- The Faculty of Human and Social Sciences is made up of the Department of Management and Economics; Department of Sociology; Department of Education Sciences and the Department of Sports Sciences.
- The Faculty of Arts and Letters includes the Department of Communication and Arts; and the Department of Letters
- The Faculty of Health Sciences includes the Department of Medical Sciences.
All departments of the university grant the undergraduate licenciado degree (licentiate's degree or bachelor's degree), which requires a three-year full-time study programme. UBI also awards postgraduate courses in the fields that are offered by its departments, granting the degrees of mestre (master's degree) and doutor (Ph.D.).
In order to supply its own needs and those of the local community itself, the university has also five centres: the Teaching and Learning Resources Centre (CREA); the Centre for Patrimonial Studies and Recovery (CEPP); the Computer Centre (CI); the Optics Centre (CO) and the Centre of Studies for Regional Development (CEDR) which establishes the interface between the university and the community providing consulting services to local institutions in the areas of regional development.
The Centro Hospitalar Cova da Beira (Cova da Beira Hospital Center), with facilities in Covilhã and Fundão, is the teaching hospital of the University of Beira Interior. Hospitals of Castelo Branco and Guarda also collaborate with the Faculty of Health Sciences.

The university academic campus is well integrated in the city urban network and it has unique characteristics based on Covilhã industrial roots. The city was an important textile centre, once known as the "Portuguese Manchester". Over the last decades the city witnessed a restructuring of this industry. However, many factories were not able to meet the requirements of the global market and had to close down. Some of their former buildings, after being renovated by the University of Beira Interior, are started the 21st century serving the noble purpose of educating the Portuguese society.
Over 250,000 m2 of buildings are dedicated to academic activities and social services. The university campus is divided into several spaces, called Pólos, which are spread through the city establishing a real symbiosis between the city and the university as a public institution.
The synopsis below provides information about the Pólos of UBI and its libraries:
- Pólo I - The main building is a 17th-century textile factory that was renovated to house part of the university services, classrooms and offices. New buildings near have been erected over the years to keep up the continuous growth of the UBI. Due to a diligent renovation work this set of buildings are considered historical, cultural and architectonical outstanding pieces of industrial archaeology. Among this sector the following units are located: the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, the Faculty of Sciences, the Faculty of Engineering Sciences, the Wool Museum, the Computer Centre, the Optics Centre, the São Martinho Chapel, the Main Library, the Bank, the Teaching and Learning Resources Centre (Multimedia Centre) and the Centre For Heritage Studies and Recovery.
- Pólo II - On a hill, less than 1 km from Pólo I, and meeting the UBI need for constant expansion, an area was created where several central infrastructures, as the emblematic 16th century convent that nowadays houses the Rectory, the administration services and the international relations office. In the same area are also located the academic residences, Santo Antonio cafeteria, the sport halls, the social affairs centre and the centre of studies for regional development. The Department of Sports and Science is also located nearby.
- Pólo III - This is where the Faculty of Health Sciences is located. It has a total area of 16,000 m2 situated nearby the Central Hospital in a distance of 1 km far from Pólo I.
- Pólo IV - This area is located in northern part of the city and was created to facilitate the expansion of the university. It houses the Faculty of Human and Social Sciences, the Cyber Centre [1] and a residence hall with Snack Bar.
- Libraries - UBI has three libraries. The Main Library is located in Pólo I following the aim of meeting the students' needs. All libraries of UBI have an information desk where one can obtain information and help. Once the Library Card is issued, students can use it to borrow books from any library. The Main Library offers a wide range of services spread among 3 different floors. Textbooks and course materials, scientific publications, bibliographies and reference works in all subjects taught at the University are available. Among other services, students can use the individual study and reading rooms, Inter-Library loan service, photocopy services, scanners, CD-ROM, Videos, DVD or consult the Library Database and Internet (200 computers).
UBI residence halls[edit]
The UBI maintains 7 residence halls. One of the residence halls is located in Pólo II, 5 minutes of walking distance from the university's main buildings (Pólo I) and the other (Residência Pedro Álvares Cabral) is located near the Pólo IV. All the rooms are equipped with closets, desks, chairs, beds and central heating. One or two students are assigned to each room. The Students' Social Affairs Centre manages all the university housing offers.
Students' union[edit]
The students' union, AAUBI - Associação Académica da Universidade da Beira Interior [2], is headquartered within the old part of the town, near Santa Maria church. The union also has its office in Pólo I, two floors upstairs from the bank.
The students' union (AAUBI) offers a wide range of activities concerning sports, culture and leisure. During the whole year there are many indoor events such like chess meetings or activities in sports halls as climbing, volleyball, basketball, football, badminton and table tennis.
A freshmen reception week, organised by the students's union of the University of Beira Interior, takes place in November and includes a parade through town (the Latada) and several concerts.
Online radio, television and journal[edit]
The university has an online radio - Rádio Universitária da Beira Interior [3], an online television - Televisão Universitária da Beira Interior [4], and an online journal - Urbi et Orbi [5].
The University of Beira Interior has two indoor sports pavilions, among other sports facilities. Competitive varsity sports teams of UBI include badminton, basketball, futsal, handball, rugby union and volleyball.
Wool museum[edit]
The UBI adapted the buildings of the former Real Fábrica de Panos (Royal Textile Factory), an important national woollens manufacturer established by Marquês de Pombal in 1764. This building served as a spinning, dyeing and weaving mill until 1885, when it was handed over to lodge the Regimento de Infantaria 21 (21st Infantry Regiment), and later the Batalhão de Caçadores 2 (2nd Sharpshooters Battalion).
In 1975, during the recovery and adaptation works of the building, archaeological remains of the old textile mill were discovered. The vats of the former dye-house were found. The discovery was classified as a part of the national cultural heritage and it was carefully recovered and restored. According to the museum's educational role, the discovered structures are helping to portray the dyeing processes used in Portugal in the second half of the 18th century.[6]
Guided tours are available (free for UBI students). The museum is open on weekdays except Monday from 9:30h to midday and from 14:30h to 18h.
