B.o.B Debuts New Collaboration With Sevyn Streeter 'Swing My Way'
B.o.B has reteamed with Sevyn Streeter for a new collaboration called "Swing My Way". Arriving on Sunday, July 6, the slow-tempo R&B/hip-hop track is a remake of KP & Envyi's 1998 jam, "Shorty Swing My Way".
Bobby Ray and his collaborator add some new lines and keep some of the original track's lyrics and melodies for familiarity. "They say it's better to give/ Than it is to receive it/ That's why I give her all I got/ My bad for overachieving/ Get your ass out them secrets from Victoria's Secret/ Back and forth with those lips/ Now that's a verbal agreement," he raps.
"Swing My Way" is set to appear in the rapper's upcoming mixtape "No Genre, Pt. 2". Scheduled to arrive on July 9, the record will also feature his collaboration with Mila J.
This is the second duet between B.o.B and Streeter fans have heard over the last few months. Back in May, the duo jumped on the remix version of "John Doe", an "Underground Luxury" cut that originally features guest vocals from Priscilla Renea.

Migrants and police clash at Calais camp demolition

"We are carrying out our orders so that the migrants leave the camp and we will continue this work this morning... so that the destruction work can continue calmly and that the migrants are not under pressure from the No Borders activists," said local authority head Fabienne Buccio.
Buccio said three-quarters of the shacks in the southern half of the camp were now empty after migrants were encouraged to leave in recent days.

Those organizations claim that French authorities have vastly underestimated the numbers of refugees and migrants living in the southern part of the camp and the alternative options lined up for those evicted are insufficient.
While local government chiefs say around 1,000 migrants will be affected by the clearing of part of the camp, groups like Medecins sans Frontieres have told The Local the figure is closer to 3,000.
The migrants and refugees have been given two official options by authorities - either move to an authorized part of the camp where places are still available or be moved to one of the 102 "welcome centres" around France.
However aid groups believe migrants, who are determined to reach the UK, are more likely to opt for a third option which will be to simply set up camp elsewhere in the northern port town.
"Around 500 to 1,000 migrants will just disappear because there is nowhere for them to go," Michel Janssens from the charity Medecins sans Frontieres told The Local last week.
"It's not human to do that. We are not fighting for them to keep the camp but for the occupants to be given adequate and humane lodging," Janssens added.
"All this will do is see hundreds end up living in clandestine camps."

We were passing by and casually looking for a restaurant when we drove by.
It's got a nice garden, and a simple but excellent menu.
We had a late lunch, and would like to come back again if only we were in the region more often.
Merci infiniment .
Très cordialement
I ate hear for Dinner with my small tour group for dinner. we ate outside and the area was beautiful. I had the fois gras with sweet breads for dinner. I am a person who will try any food once. The dinner was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant for dinner.
Merci++++++++ et pardon pour la réponse tardive.
A bientôt.
Everything that our group ordered was delicious and beautifully presented. The servings are very generous--the fish soup that a friend ordered as her "starter" would easily have served four people.
Merci infiniment , en espérant avoir le grand plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau prochainement.
Bien cordialement.
We discovered this restaurant/hotel by sheer chance on our way to Sarlat. It was so lovely, we decided to stop and enjoy a late lunch outside. The hotel itself, with its sparkling swimming pool in front, is quite impressive and the outdoor dining space was incredibly picturesque. A little Westie lay outside the flower arched entry, bidding welcome to all...
Discovered by family when visiting the Dordogne earlier this year we were encouraged to embrace the dinning experience that is Le Moulin De Mitou. Recently refurbished the restaurant is open to non guests of the hotel. We booked a table for early evening and arrived a little early so that we could have a drink before our meal. When we...
We stayed in the Hotel and used the restaurant. Very nice cuisine, personally served by the family that runs the Moulin De Mitou. Good breakfast nicely presented. Recently refurbished in very nice surrounding. Quiet excellent for relaxation. Its an old Mill from 1840 nicely restored, with swimming pool and Sauna facilities. Good value for money. And very nice people, really...
We have been to Moulin de MItou four times now and never been disappointed, always well treated and felt welcome, always good quality food and great friendly service. Highly recommended ... The best quality in that price range for miles around, not an easy task in Perigord where there is plenty of cheap good food !!!
In may 2011 we stayed for 9 days half board at Le Moulin De Mitou.
This renovated old watermill is situated very central in the Dordogne.
The owners Serge & Marie-Claude ( Mitou ) did everything to give us a pleasant stay.
Breakfast was standard but ok. Diner was extremely good. Even the 17 Euro option was a treat... Because...
We booked for dinner last Saturday night for a party of six. We were not made to feel welcome. Whilst serving the first course, the proprietor accidently spilt juice from the oysters over the trousers of one of our guests & didn't even notice.The service was very slow & the main course, which arrived about an hour and three quarters...

MorningStar Farms® Maple Flavored Veggie Sausage Patties
The XH-60 Backhawk helicopter came in low through the valley. The pilot was flying Nap of the Earth. He was using the sensors in the helicopter to stay low and hug the terrain. In the back, Specialist Ding Chavez pulled on his low light goggles and swapped in a new battery. As the fuzzy green image resolved he could hear Captain Bennett going over the mission objectives one last time.
"We fast rope in on the TOB. Whiskey Bravo will be on station for immediate evac. When we have the objective we will exfil to the roof and activate our IR strobes. The objective..."
Captain Bennett unfolded a photo enlargement from a CIA Keyhole satellite.
"...is the most delicious soy-based sausage substitutes ever devised. MorningStar Farms® Maple Flavored Veggie Sausage Patties are only 80 calories. MorningStar Farms has added just a hint of maple to up their game. They go hard, we go hard, and we never leave a man behind. Do you understand me?"
"HOOAH!" was the reply. Ding Chavez joined it, but could not help but thinking something just wasn't right.
MorningStar Farms® Grillers® Chik'n Veggie Patties
"We have to negotiate," said the woman, in the pantyhose, from the UN.
"I agree with the ambassador," said the assistant Secretary of State, a liberal.
"Then it is agreed?" asked the President, searching the room for any objection.
Jack Ryan stood up. Maybe not so fast as he once had before that jet fighter incident in Malta. He slammed his fist on the President's desk.
"No it is damn well not agreed. Who will we be negotiating with, Mr. President? The Chinese already have their own delicious chicken substitute with formula 19. And now they have the plans for ours. Why would they give us our plans back when they could just sell it back, one fake bird at a time?"
The woman from the UN could sense the shift in the center of gravity in the room. She blustered to try to cover for the undeniable weakness of her position.
"We have to exhaust every option, Mr--"
"They've all been exhausted!" snapped Ryan. "Mr. President, I have a team ready to go. We will retrieve the MorningStar Farms® Grillers® Chik'n Veggie Patties from that ship. Let the Flying Dragon trying to stop us. Now if you'll excuse me, I have an op to lead."
Jack Ryan turned and left the room.
TOTAL WRECK - crazy-eyed hound is covered in cobwebs, has a vespiary on back, graffiti on side and savage thirst for boat fuel. Frankly, I'm in over my head. He's in room 115 at Motel 6, yours free. 555-2851

Search advertising tools have been unhappily married to search providers since they first appeared on the scene. But there's new hope for search marketers. In today's Searching for Meaning column, "Search Ad Tools Help Manage Complexity," Kevin Ryan notes that increasing consolidation and acquisition of search advertising tools by big holding companies is slowly opening a window of opportunity for independent providers.

This is mostly for educational purposes. I'm trying to create the InputMapper class, which is used in this example:
var mapper = new InputMapper<SomeType>();
mapper.Map("some user input", someType => someType.IntProperty, "Input was not an integer");
mapper.Map("some user input", someType => someType.BoolProperty, "Input was not a bool");
SomeType someTypeInstance = mapper.CreateInstance();
My InputMapper class holds a collection of all of the mappings created using the Map() method. CreateInstance() will loop through the mappings trying to convert the user input and assign it to the property used in the lambda expression. As it loops through, it will save a collection of any FormatExceptions that are thrown.
My questions are:
- In the InputMapper.Map() method, what should the lambda parameter type be?
- In the InputMapper.CreateInstance() method, how do I go about trying to set the properties on the instance of T that I have created?
Dr. Skeet asked for some more information about my intentions.
The InputMapper class will be used to assign user input to the members of any object, taking care of the conversion of the user input to the properties type. The interface of the class can be inferred from the example above.
Update 2
After some hand holding, Jon and Dan, got me there. Can you suggest improvements? Here's what I have: http://pastebin.com/RaYG5n2h

Walkers Stadium
3 p.m.
Bottom of the league Cheltenham Town are the visitors to the Walkers Stadium as Leicester seek the opportunity to end their four game drawing streak at home.
Cheltenham currently occupy 24th place in League One and already look destined for League Two football next year. Times are difficult at Whaddon Road under ex-Foxes boss Martin Allen with the club in crippling financial difficulties.
Leicester's promotion hopes could hugely helped tomorrow with three points to keep the pressure on the chasing pack.
Leicester manager Nigel Pearson: 'It is a game again that we are expected to win and I know it will be a tough game.
'I'll expect our players to go out there and put on a good performance and do all they can to get the three points because that's what matters'.
Cheltenham manager Martin Allen: 'Leicester have a completely different team from when I was there. Nigel Pearson has done a fantastic job in re-modelling it for this division and they are a very good side. It's a great club with an awesome following of passionate, loyal fans and a great stadium and training ground. The club is steeped in history and for our players it's a great place to go and play.
Leicester will be without Wayne Brown who is suffering from a calf injury after limping off in the Foxes' 2-2 draw at MK Dons.
David Martin is still out so David Stcokdale will retain his place in goal.
The Leicester captain has been a key player in Leicester's run to the top of the league so far this season and will need to make sure his team get the job done tomorrow.
Cheltenham will be without Ashley Vincent who is sidelined for three weeks with a knee injury.
Nicholas Bignall is being treated at parent club Reading so may not be ready to travel with the squad.
Arguably Cheltenham's best player, the goalkeeper will have to be at his best tomorrow to keep out Leicester's attack.
The two clubs have met only once in a competetive fixture, coming at Whaddon road earlier in the season as the Foxes trounced Cheltenham 4-0.
Top Goalscorer:
Leicester: Matty Fryatt (27)
Cheltenham: Lloyd Owusu (8) (Currently on loan at Brighton)
Leicester: 3/10
Draw: 4/1
Cheltenham: 11/1
Leicester 3-0 Cheltenham

Human rights report targets family's post-quake plight
Relevant offers
Elissa Urquhart, Angus Murdie and their two children are living in a house that leaks in eight different places.
The family has been living this way since the earthquakes, as well as battling bouts of diarrhoea and upset stomachs from the stagnant water lying around the house.
Their situation is one of many Human Rights Commissioner David Rutherford targeted in a 184-page report released yesterday to improve access to adequate housing, health services and help businesses make a positive contribution in Christchurch.
Urquhart said they had spent "a lot of money trying to make it [the house] watertight" but they were not covered for any consequential damage for the leaks.
Their daughter suffers from post-traumatic disorder after the earthquakes.
A hose is used to bring water into the house, which drips in places.
Urquhart believes the dripping hose led to the upset stomachs and her children having "diarrhoea for weeks" this year.
Her inability to gain traction on her plight led her to contact the Human Rights Commission.
"I know a lot of people who are really suffering and I think it needs to be acknowledged, because it's three years [since the quakes] and it's not OK."
Capping rent prices in the wake of big natural disasters and a warrant of fitness on all rental properties were among the commission's 33 recommendations.
City councillor Glenn Livingstone, chairman of the housing committee, said action on warrants of fitness was "firmly in my sights".
He expected the issue would be on the committee's agenda "early in the new year".
A joint approach with the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment was needed, Livingstone said.
The commission also recommended the council review and update its social housing strategy for vulnerable people to reflect the lessons learned from the quakes.
Livingstone said work on the strategy, which was written in 2007, had started. "We're all in this together, but if the state or the council doesn't offer [assistance], who's going to? " he said.
Wider Earthquake Communities Action Network spokesman Mike Coleman said his group had been raising the same issues highlighted by the commission for the past two years.
Rental problems were a symptom of the wider crisis caused by housing stock repair and rebuild delays, he said.
Housing Minister Nick Smith rejected the idea of rent freezes but could see some merit in warrants of fitness standards for landlords.
He wanted to ensure any standards did not make it easy for landlords to simply pass on extra costs to tenants.

Gareth Duncan - MyPlayers.co.za
Cape Town - Lock Eben Etzebeth says the Stormers will need
to be defensively solid when they face the Brumbies at Newlands on Saturday
(19:15 kick-off).
The Brumbies have been one of the standout performers during
the early part of the 2016 Super Rugby campaign.
The men from Canberra are tied with the Chiefs for most
tries after three rounds (15), averaging five tries a match. They also boast
the best points difference record, scoring 115 and only conceding 39 points,
highlighting their all-round threat.
Etzebeth said the Stormers have noted the Brumbies'
impressive form.
"The statistics say it all. The Brumbies have performed
really well so far. They're the leading try-scorers in the competition, so they
will be a big threat with ball in hand," Etzebeth told MyPlayers.
"We will need to ensure we prepare our defensive structures
accordingly. The Brumbies will test us with ball in hand. They will also be a
big threat at the set-pieces."
The Stormers suffered their first defeat of the competition
against the Sharks last weekend. However, Etzebeth stressed that the Cape side
is focused on achieving its main goal - winning the Super Rugby title.
"If you're not aiming to win the title, then I think you're
in the wrong sport. The Stormers are definitely aiming to win Super Rugby. It's
a collective goal we have as a team.
"The tournament provides a fresh challenge with its new
18-team structure. But we'll take things one weekend at a time, starting with
the Brumbies on Saturday."

Falafel Bliss
This is a total falafel experience in a cozy little shop. Don't forget to mash your falafel so you can squeeze on maximum mouthwatering toppings. You will be so happy you went. Outdoor tables and good people watching.
212 N Long Beach Rd, Rockville Centre, USA
nice suprise
The surprise was that I was just expecting vegan pizza, but upon request, our table was given the "vegan menu" with four pages of creative Italian vegan comfort food. I had the crab cakes appetizer and an large arugula salad. I also sampled the vegan lasagna, oyster mushroom calamari, and rollatini. My dining partners were all impressed with their meals and everyone was too full to sample the death by chocolate vegan dessert. Our server was very friendly and attentive and made good suggestions regarding the menu.
9343 Culver Blvd, Culver City, USA
I had heard so many wonderful things about Native Foods and when I finally had the opportunity to give it a try, it did not disappoint. Went for lunch and ordered the Rockin' Moroccan Bowl with tofu. It was really difficult to choose. The food tasted fresh and healthy -- not a huge serving, but enough for a light lunch. Casual, family-friendly place.
21785 Filigree Ct, Ashburn, USA
Randy Radish for lunch
I ordered the chicken Caesar wrap and watermelon gazpacho soup for lunch. The wrap was good, but unremarkable and the soup was unusual-tasting in a good way, although halfway through the soup, a ball of sour cream (I think) started to dissolve into the soup and that's when I called it quits. Their Reuben sandwich comes highly recommended but wasn't offered on the menu that day. I would like to try again the next time Randy Radish is traveling my way.
400 President Clinton Ave, Little Rock, USA
Vegan Lunch to Go
I purposefully visited this food stall because of its vegan listing. I was running to the airport and took a chickpea salad sandwich and sweet potato fries with me -- it was a generous serving and all was delicious. The owner was there and was super-enthusiastic about the potential to expand vegan dining options in Little Rock. I will eat there again on my next visit. They have a vegan lobster roll.
8284 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, USA
Swanky Fun
Minestrone soup, kale salad, pasta that looks simple yet tastes special, mini-chocolate decadence dessert ... It was all beautifully presented and delicous! From looking at the outside of the building you have no idea what a treat is waiting on the inside. Beautiful wood floors and comfy booths with interesting architectural touches everywhere. It is swanky and relaxed at the same time. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive. Overall a delightful dining experience and I am looking forward to going back the next time I visit L.A.
1341 L St NW, Washington, USA
Decadent Dining
I have dined at Elizabeth's Gone Raw three times and each occasion has been such a pleasure! It is the only fine dining vegan restaurant that I have found in DC. The menu is fresh and creative, the ambience is cozy and upscale, and the wait staff are knowledgeable about the food and professional (example: plates are left on the table until everyone is finished eating). It is also good for conversation because it is not too loud. The upscale price is the only thing keeping me from eating there every Friday -- it is a special occasion place for me.
1637 SE 17th St, Fort Lauderdale, USA
Excellent Juice
I was pleased to find Fresh First open for breakfast with vegan menu choices. I ordered the Key West Tofu and enjoyed it. My favorite part of breakfast was a custom order green juice -- a great way to start the day!
2315 K St, Sacramento, USA
Get the Reuben
I am always looking for a tasty vegan Reuben and wanted to give this vegan café a try on my visit to Sacramento. It was delish! The sandwich was very flavorful and Reubenesque and was served with a delicious salad. I didn't think I was going to be able to finish it all off, but it was so good that I managed to devour every last bite. I liked the kombucha bar and the staff will give samples so you can choose your favorite flavor. Lots of baked goods available. I will go back for another Reuben sandwich the next time I'm in town.
1075 SE 17th, Fort Lauderdale, USA
A pleasant suprise!
Ate lunch at this newly-opened casual restaurant. The menu is sparse but it was difficult to choose because everything looked good. Ordered the spicy kale salad. The dressing was very flavorful and the portion was big (although my lunch-mates were left wanting bigger portions of the lasagne and a side to accompany the burger). The staff was super-friendly and came around multiple times to fill water and clear plates. It was fairly crowded but there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and the food was served quickly. Nice to have a vegan option so close to the airport!
1529 Piedmont Ave Ste D, Atlanta, USA
Vegan Galore
I was visiting Atlanta and stopped in to Green Sprout for lunch. The owners were very welcoming, the atmosphere was very relaxed, and there was an overwhelming selection of vegan options on the menu. My table ordered three different dishes and all were delicious. I would be a regular customer if I lived in Atlanta!

Mediterranean Madness
Visiting San Antonio with a posse of vegans and looking for a compassionate place to eat. We landed at Green for Sunday Brunch and LOVED it. Extensive menu with choices ranging from healthy to comfort food (big nasty burger) so there is something guaranteed to please. My Mediterranean Bowl was filled with tabouli, pecan hummus, dolmas, tzatziki, kale salad, falafel and lots of other tasty things. There were "yums" all around our table. The restaurant was packed, but service was friendly and speedy. Would definitely go for a repeat visit. Would be great to see the menu shift from veg to vegan and go cruelty-free!

Delicious Dinner!
Had a long-anticipated visit to GreenFare for dinner and it was such a nice experience. The menu of substantial-sounding entrees made it very difficult to choose and I ended up with the sweet potato and spinach lasagna recommended by our server with a side salad. The meal was beautiful to look at, flavorful, and so filling. I felt good knowing that it was also healthful -- all plants and no added oil. Can't wait to go back and try everything else on the menu!

Casual Backyard Fiesta
You'll notice this place when you drive by because it is on Main Street as you enter the south end of Amagansett and always bustling with activity. You'll be so happy when you decide to pull in for take-out or stay and eat at one of the picnic tables scattered around the backyard that is strung with party lights. Order at the counter from the traditional Mexican menu that has designated vegan options. The rice and beans are vegan! Many more menu items that aren't already marked as vegan can be easily veganized. The watermelon juice is super-refreshing. It's nice to have an option for delicious food in Amagansett that doesn't come with an outrageous price tag. I'll be making another stop the next time I visit.
2870 Rowena, Los Angeles, USA
Get the Brussels sprouts!
Clean and serene! Went for lunch and enjoyed every bite of my pan bagna sandwich. The server recommended Brussels sprouts and I will go back and order them again -- so flavorful and my favorite part of lunch. Staff is super friendly.

reliable vegan option
Mary's Marvelous has salads and a made-to-order hummus wrap that you can count on when you need to grab a quick bite to go. Soy milk for the coffee and vegan cookies are a plus.
2928 Georgia Ave NW, Washington, USA
Woodlands Food Truck
It was worth the long wait in line to get the fried chicken sandwich and garlic kale salad. It sounds unhealthy and it probably was but it was soooo good! And the sandwich was huge -- this combo made a very large lunch. The food truck provides different self-serve sauces and both the BBQ and hot sauces were delish on the sandwich. Most food trucks just offer a few selections but Woodlands had a large menu of sandwich/salad type items. For someone who tries to eat low-fat, whole foods, this meal felt like a guilty pleasure ... but I would do it again!
845 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, USA
Vegan eats with an ocean view
Was pleasantly suprised to discover this restaurant has an entire vegan menu -- thank you Happy Cow! A large assortment of wraps and sandwiches. Nothing fancy, but the veggie burger was good and the location across from the beach is excellent for people watching from the outdoor tables. One man ran the entire show and he couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Vegan french toast served all day.

The above mentioned would be enough to make this a great book, but the author takes things one step further by providing over 23 life-sized, removable reproductions of pages from the world's most important Bibles, including samples from The Book of Kells, Codex Sinaiticus, the Gutenberg Bible, along with portions of a Dead Sea Scrolls manuscript. Stone does a wonderful job in bringing a plethora of information that could fill a museum right into your home with this single book. The Story of the Bible would make a great gift!
Overall this text is a straight forward survey text providing information that can be found elsewhere, such as Christian history textbooks, specific to the Bible. The text is readable and generally understandable. It is not however a complex historical discussion. However that should make it more usable for the general reader. Visually the book is also very pleasing and would look nice on any shelve. I was also surprised by the size of the book, expecting a very short pamphlet style book. This instead really is a coffee table book that's strength really is its visual presentation. The reproductions to me however were a miss. I struggled to return two of the pullouts to their envelope in the book. In fact, one will never go back in to its original spot. And the reproductions are printed on the same paper as the book itself, making me wonder if it would have been just as effective as added pictures in the book. Really with a pullout I'm looking for something that I could not show in a book or shows the texture or feel of the actual item when teaching. Overall, this is a good introduction to the Bible that is visually pleasing.
Review Copy Provided by Thomas Nelson
I believe the highest and best use for this book would be as a textbook for highschool and college level 'Bible 101' type classes. It is a great historical overview, and would allow a professor to go into further depth when necessary. My favorite parts of the book were on the reformation and after Bible translators: the work of Wycliffe, Tyndale, Luther, and the like. The stories of the men who risked their lives to make the scripture accessible to all people are amazing and make me hold the Bibles I own even dearer. It is because of their bravery and unfailing commitment to sharing the gospel that I have three different translations of scipture sitting on my desk right now. Stone does an excellent job in highlighting these stories as well explaining the background of modern day translations, interpretations, and work to take the Bible to every language in every nation.
I felt the first 5 chapters to be long, boring, and hard to read. The paragraphs did not connect well, it was choppy and scattered. It was painstaking to try and read through. The information, while critical to understanding the authority and history of our Scripture, can be found in much easier forms and in more concise ways.
I was hoping this would be a great 'coffee table' book to bring on conversation or to be a great resource in my bible studies. I'm afraid it falls in neither category.Read more ›

Sunjoy Gazebos Garden Gazebos
Suggested Vines For Trellises, Arbors And Gazebos In The North
Anyone that lives in the north knows that it is not easy to find plants that can withstand harsh winters, but there are some pretty nice vines that are easy to grow in the north. Use vines for privacy in your hot tub gazebo, or to decorate an arbor or trellis.
Boston Ivy, also called Japanese or Cottage Ivy. Zone 4-8
The Boston Ivy is a deciduous plant that will loose its leaves in the winter. If this will be for winter privacy you may not want to use this vine unless the vine growth is heavy. This Ivy grows individual tendrils with 5-8 branches coming off of each tendril. There is no need to tie this vine because each little branch attaches at the tip. As it grows it is literally attached to whatever is supporting it. Boston Ivy will attach to almost anything as it grow, so be certain to work the tendrils up on the gazebo or trellis as it grows. This is a great arbor vine. You can plant it on one side and let it grow to the other. This vine will grow to a height of 30 feet or more. This vine does have a short bloom that attracts a lot of bees. Grows in sun or shade, tolerates salt and dry soil.
The Honeysuckle. Zone 4-8
This is a very hardy northern vine that is easy to grow. Hummingbirds just love Honeysuckle. This is a great arbor or trellis vine. This will be full of beautiful tubular flowers. Give this vine a trellis, an arbor or a gazebo to climb on, fertile, well drained soil, and it will literally grow itself! Spreads 4-5 feet.
The Trumpet Vine. Zone 4-10
This is a fast growing vine that, like Ivy, will cling to anything. The Trumpet vine is called the Hummingbird vine by some because it really attracts Hummingbirds. This vine grows well in places that won't grow anything else! If your gazebo, trellis or arbor is in a dry, hot spot, the Trumpet vine would be perfect. It is a very hardy plant, but it is also invasive, so it is not easy to get rid of once it takes hold. This is a deciduous vine, but one that blooms for a very long time.
Climbing Hydrangea. Zone 4-10
Late in the summer and early into the fall, this vine will cover your arbor with lovely white flowers. This is a great climbing vine and is excellent for arbor growth. It gets started slowly, but once it gets going, it grows quickly. Once the leaves fall, the brownish red bark is very pretty. It likes full shade and a little bit of sun. It will spread about 5-6 feet.
Lemon Lace Vine. Zone 4-9
This is a very fast growing vine. If you want to cover a gazebo, trellis or arbor in a hurry, this is a great choice. This vine will grow up to 25'. It has very small white flowers and can bloom two times, in the spring and again in the fall. The blooms are nice and fragrant. The Lemon Lace vine is very invasive so don't plant near other plants. Full sun and well drained soil work best.By Beth Inman - One of Y!CN's top writers, I lead a very busy life, but am learning to take time to do the things I like to do... for me. One of those things is to write.

ESSAY TOPIC: "INDIA'S SERVICE ECONOMY: A SLUMDOG ANALYSIS" Name: Nallu Dhinakharan Matriculation Number: U090043B
Introduction – A lead in to the service economy in India as portrayed in the film
. and this essay will also show that the film projects 'elements of globalization in a postcolonial free market which has been infiltrated by transnational capitalism' (Chestromathy. we shall look at the three aspects of the service economy which will also be the focus of this essay. 2010). The movie is ridden with examples from the informal sector of the economy. Materiality and Sociality – Intangible transactions in perspective With respect to the movie. 1977). The film uses the representation of India as an example. 'A service may be defined as a change in the condition of a person. Can you believe that? We used to live right there. as it 'reveals in full-tilt sensuality the Dharavi slum and the dynamic city of Mumbai to the world' (Duncan. or of a good belonging to some economic unit. particularly materiality. materiality. India is at the centre of the world now. with the prior agreement of the former person or economic unit' (Hill.. bhaiya (brother)" - A dialogue from the movie Slumdog Millionaire (Boyle. We shall begin this analysis with respect to the film. sociality and spatiality play a pivotal role in understanding the nature of the service economy in any country."That used to be our slum. sanitation is offered as a service to a dweller in the slum and when the dweller feels that the . 2011). spatiality and sociality in Mumbai whilst narrating a glorious rag to riches story.. Now. The film seems also to cross a number of aesthetic and cultural boundaries. The agglomeration of intangible economic transactions has an impact on the landscape of the Dharavi slums and in turn the city of Mumbai. The construction of a makeshift toilet by the slums near the river and the collection of money for the use of the toilet is an apt example of the informal economy that is 'constructed' by the movie. One of the first few scenes shows that Salim (elder brother of Jamal) is seen collecting money for the use of the makeshift toilet by the river. This essay explores the film 'Slumdog Millionaire' via theoretical concepts.2008) A film of immense grit and class. Having looked at the definition of a service.. themes and issues in relation to the service economy which are exemplified and portrayed in the film. Slumdog millionaire accurately portrays the materiality. Here. I argue that materiality and sociality in the service economy are produced together. it's all business... These intangible transactions can often be hard to measure and as the movie shows it also includes the informal sector of the economy which can be rather illegal in nature.
In this view I argue that the movie was paramount to framing the notion of 'emotional labour' (Hochschild. it is estimated that the 'annual turnover from the Dharavi slum's small businesses is between $50 and $100 million' (Duncan. Sociality is portrayed via the 'commercialisation of the body' (Chestromathy. Here we can see that there is a clear definition of a service as there is an exchange of sexual services for money. Here the prostitutes are the moderators of the society in the sense that they offer social support and as such they too are subjects of the stress and strains of the working world as they are to leave any stresses of occupational prostitution aside to provide a service. inequitable distribution of wealth and unplanned development in the economy of Mumbai' (Duncan. The informal service that Jamal and Salim offer to the tourists in Taj Mahal also shows a jovial side of the film but highlights the reality of the situation where the two characters offer an informal service just to meet ends needs and live on a day to day basis. The presence of an illegal movie shack and the collection of entrance receipt is also another subtle yet interesting example of the informal economy. In the movie. The presence of gangsterism and the use of child labour to accomplish illegal tasks (beggar mafia) can also be considered to be a service. Here the service is illegal but when the child is paid for his services. Here we see a tangible transaction between Salim and the man but the nature of the service is informal. the owner of the illegal movie screening shack gives him a few rupees. . 2010) where the females are seen in Pila Street engaging in activities like prostitution and sleazy dancing. When Salim sells away the autographed photo of Amitabh Bachan. The film also portrays deliberately maimed children who are made to beg on the city streets. there are tangible manifestations on the quality of his life and the economy of the slum dwellers as a whole. There are outright portrayals of 'greed. 1983). In light of such illegal activities. This shows the extent to which the people of Uttar Pradesh are dependent on the Dhobis. The Dhobi Ghat near the slums where the Dhobis wash and dry the clothes of their customers is another portrayal of the informal economy. 2011) that are showcased in the movie. he gladly reaches back to Salim for a refund of his payment. Jamal says "It is said that every person in Uttar Pradesh has had their kurthas (traditional top) washed and dried here at least once". and that great numbers of people there live far below their human potential. I argue that poverty is one of the driving forces of the informal economy in India. 2011).service was not up to mark.

India is a perfect example in what Bryson calls the 'offshoring of service activities' (Bryson. The individuals are also trained to say that they work in UK and not in India.. Sean Connery" Teacher: "Good!" ..A dialogue between the teacher and student at the call centre in Mumbai (Boyle. The presence of a cheap. themes and issues in relation to the service economy which are exemplified and portrayed in the film. Whiskey. Ben Nevis. probably to give them an edge when attending to calls from UK when calls come in. 2007). sociality and spatiality play a pivotal role in understanding the nature of the service economy as framed by film and how all these entities . The offshoring of services to India encourages call centre operators based in India to become 'English' at night and Indian during the day. Conclusion – A wrap up of the service economy in India as portrayed in the film This essay has shown the film 'Slumdog Millionaire' via theoretical concepts. It is seen as a means of negotiating the service distance and taking India's rapid growth in ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) into consideration it can be said that India is a thriving 'call centre' economy. 2008) There are boards of streets in London hung everywhere in the call centre with pictures of festivals like the rowing race that takes place between Oxford and Cambridge. skilled and efficient English speaking workforce is a key reason as to why companies outsource their call centre service to India. All of this is done to purposefully "construct" the call centre as a place in UK and not in India. 1983). Emotional labour is usually understood to be implicated in face-to-face encounters between service producers and consumers but firms located in developed market economies encourage foreign workers to alter the ways in which they project their identities. This essay has also shown how materiality. The teacher in the call centre is seen training students from everything in the pop culture to the general knowledge of everything to do with UK. 2007) that involves distanced 'emotional labour' (Hochschild.
