Johannesburg – Howard Blake chats with IOL about what he believes is needed to start up a company.
Q: Is Blake Holdings your first startup?
A: No this is the holdings company that houses 6 startups that range from 6 months old to 26 years years. Over the 26 years, 3 startups were sold and one stopped trading .
Q: What gave you the idea?
A: I was working in a firm of attorneys and noticed an opportunity to create a more efficient process in the collection of debt. This ultimately developed into software which predicted debtor behaviour . From this grew the services and products the group now offer. The products and services span multiple business sectors and countries. We have always disrupted the established way of doing business to introduce innovative and relevant products and services
Q: How is it doing?
A: From a singularity the business has grown into a multi-disciplined enterprise employing in excess of 1 200 people covering 3 continents. We are firmly entrenched in the new digital economy .An aspect that will guarantee our relevance for years to come.
Q: Did you always want to be an entrepreneur?
A: No, I was happily employed until I landed up unemployed with a young family to feed.I then put the innovation to work that I had been thinking about. Necessity is the mother of all invention!
Q: What made you choose this career path?
A: No business plan, just urgency and an unstoppable desire to survive the situation I was in. The ability to see an opportunity to offer the services that would change the way business manages its accounts receivables [debtors]. From this one service to one client, the business grew to provide services to the majority of South African Banks, retailers and financial services businesses .
Q: What's next on your list?
A: With a 26-year-old enterprise, we are busy redefining some of our services and products. The really exciting project we are busy with, is taking migrating our legacy business into the digital economy . We have launched 2 new digital products that are gaining some global interest and traction. This is a whole new world for us that is very exciting as a South African business to gain the attention of international markets. We will have our first Australian revenue go live in the second quarter with some really relevant projects going live in the southern hemisphere. We also in advanced discussions regarding the North American markets too. Our African footprint is looking to grow out in the third quarter. We have a really exciting year ahead of us!
Q: What would you say to someone who wants to be an entrepreneur? Don't second guess your ability to succeed . If you can think through your idea persevere. Remember the difference between a great idea and a business is revenue. If you have one customer no reason why you can't have a million or more. So don't be afraid to start. If you don't run onto the field, you can't score any goals! Just do it!
Q: Would you say you need a degree to get started?
A: No . While it may help in specialised areas .The most important quality way beyond anything academic is perseverance, and you going to need lots of it!

Cinemas of Karangahape Road.
Moving pictures were first shown at the Opera House in Wellesley Street in 1896, just six months after the first screenings in Paris that year.
Initially Films were shown in any large room available so often existing theatres and lecture rooms were used but just about any hall was likely to be pressed into use as well.
Lectures utilising projected still images had been common for several decades, Magic Lantern shows were popular and were often of an educational nature rather than entertainment per se.
For example clergymen often gave lectures about the Life of Christ involving a slide show with Views of the Holy Land or raised funds for overseas missionary work by similar views of exotic locations such as Africa or the Pacific Islands.
Early films were very short (and of course, silent) but to begin with the novelty appeal of watching moving images was often enough to attract an audience rather than the actual stories being told.
Note this notice from 1915 in which eleven cinemas in Auckland are mentioned after the two live theatres but apparently the vague description of "Continuous Pictures" is felt sufficient.
Cinemas in Auckland 1915.
As films were very short showing a range of topics, trying to appeal to a broad range of tastes was very common
"Continous pictures" would generally involve at least one each of the following; Drama, Travelogue, Newsreel, Documentary, Animated short, and Comedy.
Often Vaudeville Theatres included films as part of an evening's lineup, indeed some found films so much easier to organise than live performers that some changed from organising live theatre to specialising in film..
In the 19th century there were a succession of theatres and hall constructed in central Auckland mostly in the Queen Street valley - it wasn't until the second decade of the 20th century that cinemas appear to started operating in the K Road area.
By the end of the 1920s, almost 40 cinemas were operating in central and suburban Auckland, some in converted structures and many in purpose built buildings.
Initially prints of films could be imported by any exhibitor, often leading to parallel "premieres" of the same film by rival companies.
In 1911 leading exhibitors, such as Fullers' Pictures and Hayward's Picture Enterprises, started to obtain exclusive rights to certain films and screened them in the chains of theatres under their control and rented them to independent exhibitors.
This established a pattern of cinema organisation and picture distribution which continues in an altered form to this day.
The Tivoli Theatre, Karangahape Road.
Alhambra/Tivoli 1913-1976 (demolished)
The Tivoli was probably the third purpose built cinema in Auckland - the first being the 1911 Lyric on nearby Upper Symonds Street (demolished) and the other the Victoria in Devonport of 1912 (which is also the oldest cinema in the southern hemisphere in continous useage).
Although the status of the Queen's Theatre and the Globe (both on Queen street) remain unclear - they certainly showed films but it is unclear whether they were specifically designed as cinemas.
For a while the Alhambra/Tivoli was operated by Thomas O'Brien, who went bankrupt after opening the Civic in 1929 on the eve of the Great Depression.
Opening as the Alhambra, the Theatre was located near the Grafton Bridge corner and its success was probably directly related to the 1913 Auckland Exhibition and the vast numbers of people who visited it.
The use of giant horseshoe windows appears to be unique but may be derived from fairground architecture.
There was a strong connection between early film and such places of public amusement such as Coney Island in New York, indeed the 1913 Auckland Exhibition in the Domain also showed this influence.
Alhambra 1915. Early films were silent and very short -often a selection was played in a continous cycle - people did not necessarily stay for the full line-up but might come back several times - hence the expression "this is where I came in last time".
By 1915 it had been renamed the Grafton and finally in 1917 the Tivoli (derived from a famous amusement park in Copenhagen)..
It appears to have also operated as a Dance Hall which was quite common - many early cinemas were built with flat floors for this reason.
Theatres with raked seating were less versatile than a hall with a flat floor as their sloping floors couldn't be used for dancing or other uses (such as charity fetes).
But conversely the sightlines of the stage from the seats were inferior to a purpose built theatre and as proper cinemas appeared venues with flat floors were at a definate disadvantage.
Later cinemas also tended to have better acoustics which became extremely important after 1927 - many venues found it was too difficult to alter their interiors to remove echos.and other faults.
Although it was rewired for sound the Tivoli lost patronage from the 1930s onwards to the larger and newer venues being built.
The new line of Theatre/Cinemas such as the St James, The Regent, the Civic and the Majestic all had raked seating with better sightlines, acoustics, bigger screens and more lavish decor.
For a while an amateur dramatic group the Grafton Players were based here but by the 1970s it seems to have survived mostly screening children's films on weekend matinees and cheap B-grade films at night.
In the early 1980s the entire block bounded by K Road, Symonds st, City Road and Liverpool St was razed in order to create a large development which included the Sheraton Hotel (now the Langham).
The Newton Palace Picture Theatre, Karangahape Road.
The Foresters Hall, Newton Palace, The Palace.
The Newton Foresters Hall/Newton Picture Palace/Polynesian Ballroom/Ibiza.
This building was constructed as a Foresters Hall in the 1880s. The hall occupied the upper floors leaving the ground floor avaiable for retail shops.
The Foresters were one of several fraternal societies which were very popular in the 19th century, it had been formed in Britain in 1834 as the Ancient Order of Foresters.
It initially involved men dealing directly with cultivating timber (and of course cutting it down) but the organisation's membership probably expanded to include other men who worked with wood: ship builders, carpenters, joiners, cabinet makers, box makers and carriage makers.
These were all industries located around Karangahape Road - indeed before it was filled in to create Victoria Park Freeman's Bay was the landing spot for logs with the shoreline full of ship builders and lumber yards..
The hall had a flat floor and was used for dances and political meetings (Ellen Melville - the first female City Councillor gave some of her first speeches here).
Ellen Melville 1882–1946 Lawyer, local politician, feminist, women's activist.
Like many such halls it became used for the screening of films, which were at the time silent.
Halls of all types including Church Halls in small communities were pressed into temporary or regular use but after the coming of sound in the late 1920s their acoustics often let them down.
The Newton Picture Palace as it became known certainly suffered from this - rebuilding the interior of such a hall was quite costly and in this case the combination of the flat floor and the fact that patronising it meant climbing several stories meant it simply wasn't feasible to reconfigure the interior for sound.
This was the last cinema in Auckland to screen silent films - ending its role as a picture theatre in 1931.
The building in the late 1940s.
After that point the large space on the top floor became a Dance Hall, morphing into a series of nightclubs during the rest of the 20th century.
In 2011 the space was reconfigured as an office complex putting an end to about a 130 years of public entertainment on this site.
A recent view of the building.
The King's Theatre, Upper Pitt Street.
King's Theatre/ Prince Edward Cinema/The Playhouse/The Mercury Theatre.
The 1910 Kings Theatre/ Prince Edward Cinema/ Playhouse.
This is now Auckland's oldest surviving Theatre, although ironically it has a very small stage compared with virtually any of the other venues extant or demolished.
It was thought for many years that this was the first purpose built cinema in Auckland but that status belonged to the (now demolished) Lyric of 1911 on nearby Upper Symonds Street, followed by the extant Victoria of 1912 in Devonport.
The Upper Pitt Street facade. (this street was renamed France Street during WW1 and Mercury Lane in the 1990s)
The confusion probably came about due to the fact that a film was shown on opening night in 1910 but plans in the Council Archives show it wasn't until 1914 that it was modified to include an actual projection room at the back of the circle.
On New Years Eve in 1911 it (and the Globe on Queen Street, a theatre now demolished) screened parrael imported copies of the first colour film ever seen in this country (not just a coloured in black & white film)
In 1926 (following the fire at Auckland Opera House in Wellesley Street) the Fuller Corporation renovated this theatre to be their flagship venue in Auckland in the face of competition from the new St James Theatre.
This new role resulted in a new entrance from Karangahape Road being built.
The new Karangahape Road entrance of 1926.
The 1910 portion of the building was designed by Edward Bartley (who died in 1919), the addition was by Daniel Boys Patterson who was the main designer employed by Fullers from abut 1913 onwards.
When it reopened as the Prince Edward Theatre it appears to have continued presenting a mixture of live vaudeville acts and Motion Pictures.
Auckland Star, Volume LVIII, Issue 52, 3 March 1927, Page 24.
At the same time as the theatre was relaunched as the Prince Edward the Radio Broadcasting Company of New Zealand built their Auckland Studio opposite the theatre in France Street.
Surviving 1YA programmes from the 1920s show that music from the theatre was broadcast - usually the live orchestra playing the overture before a film.
Doubtless many of the vaudeville performers which appeared onstage each evening at the Prince Edward also performed in the 1YA Radio studio directly on the other side of the street on the same night.
Just before the second war the theatre had another name change - the Playhouse - this probably indicates a renewed emphasis on live drama.
Interestingly the first performance of what would become the Royal New Zealand Ballet took place here - this is remarkable largely because the Theatre had (and has) a very small stage, too small one would have thought, for ballet..
In 1959 The Playhouse closed it's doors and the 'new" entrance was sold off as a separate property - becoming Norman Ng's Fruit Shop.
The theatre itself remained empty for several years before being purchased by the Mercury Theatre Trust in the 1960s.
Since they left in 1991 it has been opened by a Pentacostal Church although it has been available from time to time for music events and performances.
There is a full page on the history of the Mercury Theatre here.
The Druids Hall, North Street.
Galatos, Galatos Street.
The Druids Hall/Galatos 1917
This building was built as a hall for the local Druids Society around 1908 at what was then number 3 North Street.
The Druids were one of a number of fraternal societies which burgened during the 19th century. Grey Lynn Druids.
Before the creation of the Welfare State and important advances in industrial laws brought about by the combined Trade Unions fraternal societies were very popular and very important.
They acted partly as Social and Networking Organisations, helping their members in time of trouble or unemployment, including raising funds for funerals.
Some (such as the Druids) ostensibly had broader spiritual ideals while others merely acted as private men's clubs as an alternative to Public Houses..
The Ancient Order of Druids (AOD) is a fraternal organisation founded in London, England in 1781 - Druids.
In its original form it was a plain wooden hall with a pitched roof resembling closely a basic church hall of the period - the wooden structure can clearly be seen from the eastern side of the property.
The designs by the architect Edward Bartley for this structure exist in the Auckland City archives.
The building was set back from the road, behind a picket fence (again very much like a church hall of the period) - at some point a two storied addition was built on the front directly abutting the street boundary.
It was, like many similar Society halls, often rented out for dances and other events, including possibly the screening of the new moving pictures.
If it was in use as a cinema it probably found itself outflanked by the purpose built venues which began appearing almost immediately.
In fact in 1914 one was built virtually adjacent to the North Street Druids Hall - the rear facade of the Arcadia Theatre on Karangahape Road is located on North Street opposite the Druids Hall.
By the 1930s the hall appears to have been operated mostly as a Cabaret, although it is unclear as to whether it had a licqour licience.
In the late 1940s the venue recieved a new strung dance floor, which was regarded by dancers as one of the best in Auckland.
As virtually all of its competitors have been demolished or put out of commission this venue can still presumably claim to be the best dance venue in the city.
After the Second World War North Street was renamed Galatos after a battle on the island of Crete where New Zealand armed forces were involved.
The two storied addition to the front of the building probably dates from the 1930s - probably as a direct result of its new role as a Dance venue.
At some point the street frontage was altered by cement render applied to it masking its wooden construction to give an appearance of a rustic adobe building.
This new finish was presumably felt appropriate for a venue which in the 1990s (and now renamed Galatos) was often used for Salsa and other South American dances.
The Arcadia, Karangahape Road.
The Arcadia/Star/Vogue.
The Arcadia/Star/Vogue 1914-1955.
This opened on June the 18th 1914 as the Arcadia, probably making it the fourth purpose built cinema in Auckland - it did have a full scale stage with a scenery loft accessible from the street behind - North Street (now Galatos) so it is likely it presented vaudevuille acts as well as moving pictures.
The architect for the first building was probably Daniel B Patterson although this was not a Fullers property.
In the 1920s it appears to have been renovated, possibly by the architect A. Sinclair O'Connor, who may have been a relative by marriage of the owner.
During the redevelopment of the adjacent property for Joseph Zahara's Bon Marche Department Store the cinema's tiny frontage was incorporated into the longer Art-Deco facade of that business.
It was renamed the Star at this point.
The newly renovated Vogue in 1940.
In 1939 there appears to have been another renovation, this time of the interior which recieved a late streamline art-deco decor - again this may have been designed by A. Sinclair O'Connor who may have previously renovated the building around 1924.
21 November 1940.
As the Vogue, the cinema continued in operation until 1955 when it closed - this is an interestingly early date - fully five years before the advent of television.
Following the closure the building was a carpet and linoleum showroom, a warehouse for Farmers Trading company and finally by the early 1980s a branch of Para Rubber.
Para Rubber circa 1980.
Para Rubber dealt not only in rubber goods such as gumboots and raincoats but also inflatable beach items, garden furniture, parasols, tarpaulines, camping equipment, and plasticware.
Around 1990 the empty building was renovated as a nightclub called DTM - it has been used as a series of nightclubs since that time but musch of the surviving art-deco detailing has been unfortunately removed since 2000.
The Empress, Great North Road.
Empress/Avon/Irish Society Hall.
The Empress/Avon/Irish Hall (demolished)
This building was built in the mid 1920s opening as the Empress.
It was a reinforced concrete building in the neo-greek style similar to adjacent buildings and possibly by the same architect. Several architects were working in Auckland designing buildings in this style though only a comparatively small number worked on cinemas including Daniel B. Patterson and A. Sinclair O'Connor.
By 1927 Sound had come in - this highlighted the shortcomings of many theatres and halls, some of which did not lend themselves to easy or economical renovations to include recorded sound.
Most older halls with flat floors found themselves outflanked by new establishments mostly because venues with raked seating simply gave better sightlines to all their patrons.
The Empress dates from just before the advent of sound but as it appears to have been the venue for many vaudeville shows and public lectures presumably its acoustics were tolerable.
Professional & Amateur Vaudeville Trials 1925.
Sunday Evening Lectures 1926.
Vaudeville 1928.
Empress Theatre Orchestra broadcast on 1YA 1927.
Auckland Star, Volume LVIII, Issue 261, 4 November 1927, Page 18
The Empress apparently had a working stage and certainly presented vaudeville acts to the public.
From the Edwardian period onwards it was common for films to be included as part of such a line-up but by the early 1930s moving pictures had become the main attraction with live acts being relegated to being an opening act in most venues.
Auckland Star, Volume LIX, Issue 287, 4 December 1928, Page 5.
By the late 1930s they tended to dissappear altogether although the larger cinemas often kept up the habit the longest - providing glamourous chorus girl numbers or illuminated pipe organ recitals to amuse patrons before the main feature began.
The Empress is mentioned in the 1920s for it's magic acts - in 1927 it made the news when an animal act had problems.
Auckland Star, Volume LVIII, Issue 92, 20 April 1927, Page 8.
. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
It was renamed the Avon in October 1940.
Auckland Star, Volume LXXI, Issue 249, 19 October 1940, Page 20.
After it closed as a cinema the building was purchased by the Auckland Irish Society who ran it as a community centre and cultural venue.
The ground floor possibly rebuilt as a flat platform to allow for dances and indoor fetes, the upper circle of raked seating was untouched.
The building was sold to new owners around 2005 and subsequently demolished.

Your story about Mike Tyson reads like a tragedy (PEOPLE, Sept. 26). It appears this hulking man-child is destined for a prison cell, an early grave or both. Let's hope he doesn't drag Robin Givens along with him. Even she doesn't deserve that.

There are definitely winners and losers in this refined form of child abuse. The winners are the sponsors who reap the dollars from this travesty. The runners-up are the mothers who sacrifice their daughters' childhoods for their own vanity, vicariously basking in their daughters' successes. The only losers are the little girls, who are taught during their fragile, formative years to judge their self-worth by fleeting, superficial and ultimately damaging standards.

My husband of 38 years and I can certainly relate to Bob and Joan Parker's story. When our youngest of four children left the nest, my husband, Paul, moved to his third-floor apartment in our building. The first floor houses our business, and I live on the second floor. We, too, love our autonomy and intimacy, and besides that, I got his closet.

If your article about cult leader John-Roger is accurate, we Americans are like a herd of lost sheep. Sadly, we grasp blindly at the first "shepherd" who comes to lead us to greener pastures. If this man is truly a divine spirit with the ability to guide people to God, why do his disciples need to shell out $775 per ticket for the ride?
Kathleen E. Lotz

So many people have benefited from the common sense and guidance they have received from John-Roger that I wish your reporters had been more investigative and thorough. I have personally experienced John-Roger's integrity and guidance. There's far more good in this man than was misrepresented in PEOPLE.

This solenoid in particular is nice and strong, and has a slug with a slanted cut and a good mounting bracket. It's basically an electronic lock, designed for a basic cabinet or safe or door. Normally the lock is active so you can't open the door because the solenoid slug is in the way. It does not use any power in this state. When 9-12VDC is applied, the slug pulls in so it doesn't stick out anymore and the door can be opened.
The solenoids come with the slanted slug as shown above, but you can open it with the two Phillips-head screws and turn it around so its rotated 90, 180 or 270 degrees so that it matches the door you want to use it with.
To drive a solenoid you will a power transistor and a diode, check this diagram for how to wire it to an Arduino or other microcontroller. You will need a fairly good power supply to drive a solenoid, as a lot of current will rush into the solenoid to charge up the electro-magnet, about 500mA, so don't try to power it with a 9V battery!

First Paragraph:
"It was cold, the kind of cold that made bones feel brittle and hands ache. My breath streamed from my lips like smoke, and my feet made wet, crunching sounds in the snow as I slipped through the forest. As I ran, my lungs ached and my sack of yarn thumped against my back. My cloak tangled around my ankles, but I yanked it free without stopping."
Frost by Kate Avery Ellison is the first book in the Frost Chronicles series.
Set in a cold world, elusive monsters called "Watchers" exist. Hiding in the forest, they are rarely ever seen, hunt at night, are immune to weapons and are only held at bay by snow blossoms (sky blue flowers) that people keep around their thresholds and wear as necklaces for protection. However, they don't guarantee your safety.
The villagers of Iceliss (just known as "the village" to locals) have hard lives in the Frost. To survive in the frozen, forested landscape every man, woman and child needs to do their part. There are quotas to make sure of it. If you don't meet your quota, you don't get your rations for the week. There are a multitude of different tasks, such as hunting, farming, weaving, dyeing, gardening, etc. From your profession, your surname is derived.
Lia Weaver's job is to spin wool into yarn. She also manages a farm no other villager wanted, as it lies on the outskirts of village, with nothing but forest and Watchers beyond. She must also look after her twin brother, John (who is unable to walk) and free-spitired younger sister, Ivy, after their parents were killed by Watchers.
No one is entirely sure what happened to her parents. They were found without their snow blossom necklaces and were last seen entering the forest with members of the Brewer family. The Brewer family made it back, but Lia's parents didn't.
Now more than ever, her remaining family must follow the rules to survive. If the village believes her unfit, they will take her siblings away. Suddenly, Lia reaches a critical point when the terrifying Farthers come to her village. They come from the city of Aeralis, in the far South. They are known as a brutal race, who imprison and abuse any and all. They are also technologically advanced, especially compared to the little village in the Frost, where technology will get you killed (as it attracts the attention of the Watchers). Aeralis has airships, gas lamps and seems to be similar to cities that exist in the Steampunk world. A dark, frightening place- whose rumours are warning enough.
When a wounded boy turns up in the forest by their house, Ivy is adamant that they save him. He is obviously a Farther and helping him is strictly against the rules, but Lia gives in to Ivy's request. It soon becomes clear that the Farthers are searching for this strange boy, but why? Was it a mistake to help him?
As Lia tries to find answers, her world is turned upside down. Who are The Thorns? What is the Gate? Who can she trust? And how did her parents really die? In this harsh world, one mistake will lead to your death, whether by exposure, Watcher or human.
The plot is fast-moving and sets a great pace. The descriptive writing is done well and depicts the severe world the characters live in realistically. Reading the story, I could feel the icy wind against my face and the constant threat of danger surrounding them. At no point do you ever feel that the characters are safe. This is simply because a safe world does not exist for them. Even without the threat of monsters all around, or brutal soldiers attacking, the elements alone are enough to kill you if you aren't careful.
The characters themselves are realistically nothing special. What I mean is that not every person in the real world is the Chosen One or has ninja fighting skills. Some people you meet might not even be interesting. Some will stick out more than others and some you won't even notice. And that's exactly what the characters are like in this book. Normal, everyday people. Some you relate to and some you forget as soon as they're gone.
The ending leaves you with just enough curiosity to keep reading. For those who don't want to continue the series (for whatever reason), it's also just complete enough to be a stand-alone story. Personally, I enjoyed this book. It held my attention and kept me guessing. Normally, I can figure out what the plot-twists will be or what secrets will be revealed, but this book had a few that surprised me. The finale happened so quickly that I was left wanting to immediately start the next book. I've always been the type of person who has to finish a story once I've started it and I'll definitely be checking out the rest of the series. If you're a fan of young adult books, fantasy or just interested, why not try it too?

Vested Definition:

Vested is the term used to determine how much of your 401(k) funds you can take with you when you leave your company. Vesting refers to the ownership of your 401(k). When you are considering your contributions to your 401(k), you may be wondering how much of the money is yours. All of the money that you contribute to your 401(k) will go with you when you quit, but your employer may have set up vesting guidelines on the amount that they have contributed in the form of an employer match. Many companies range from three to seven years in order for you to be fully vested in your 401(k). Some may have you be vested in a percentage that increases each year until you reach the maximum amount.

What Happens If I Leave Before I Am Fully Vested in My 401(k)?

For example, if you have a plan that increases the amount you are vested in your plan each year by twenty percent so that you are fully vested at five years, you will be sixty percent vested at three years. This means that if you quit your job you will take sixty percent of the amount your employer contributed to your 401(k) plan with you. If your employer does not have a plan that increases your vested amount each year, but waits until you have reached the five year mark, when you quit at three years you will lose all the money that your employer has contributed to your 401(k) plan.

Why Do Employers Have Vesting Policies?

One reason employers do this is encourage longevity of their employees. Many employees will stay in their jobs until they are fully vested in their 401(k) before looking at a job in another company. This may be a consideration when it comes time to look for a new job. It is always important to consider the financial impact of a new job. If your salary is going to increase significantly, you may be willing to take the hit on your 401(k) balance, especially if you have only been with the company for a year or two. However if you are close to the point of being fully vested in your 401(k) it may be better to wait the next few months or year in order to take advantage of the money your employer has contributed. This will apply if you roll your 401(k) into a IRA account.

How Can I Determine What Guidelines Affect Me?

If you want to fully understand the vesting policies of your company you need to speak to your Human Resources department. They should be able to explain the company's, vesting policy and schedule. Being aware of this policy can help you to make the most of your retirement contributions and accounts.It can also help you determine the right time to begin looking for a new job. If you are only six months away from becoming fully vested in your retirement account, it may be worth waiting to switch jobs.

How Does Vesting Affect How Much I Should Contribute to Retirement?

You should work on investing fifteen percent of your income to retirement. The amount of your employee match can be part of that fifteen percent. However, you do need to keep in mind your vesting options so that you do not lose too much money if you do decide to switch jobs before you are fully vested in your account. If you have a large employer match, you may still want to increase your contributions a bit more to cover the loss if you change jobs.

Should I Take Advantage of My Employer Match Even If I Am Planning to Leave?

It does not hurt you to sign up and take advantage of the employer match, even if you are not planning on staying at your employer long enough to become fully vested in your 401(k). One reason is that you may end up staying at your job longer than you originally planned, and you may end up being able to keep some of that money for your retirement. It is better to plan and save even if you are not sure if you will receive the match, because you still need to be saving for your retirement and future.

Many workers need protection from toxic and otherwise hazardous materials exposure but don't need a hood with "all the bells and whistles". And in order to satisfy the need for a low cost, yet needed quality fume hood, we offer the "economy" products. They provide the same high protection to the operator and because of their novel construction, they can even be positioned over a laboratory sink or other apparatus. And most important of all: They are all ductless and portable and can be moved from room to room or lab to lab, wherever they happened to be needed the most.Description of the Economy Hoods:
The Economy hoods give the worker a high level of safety and protection against exposure to hazardous substances wherever routine work is being done. The units are known for their "low noise" operation because they recirculate instead of exhausting expensive conditioned and/or heated air into the outside atmosphere.Range of sizes:
The Economy hoods are available in three different sizes, from 23" long (front working length) to 48".

Heat transfer coefficient from CFX
Hi all,
I am trying to find out the htc distribution in a 3d aerfoil used for a axial turbine. The usual trend of htc is maximum at the leading edge and then reduces down as we go away from LE to the TE. But i am getting a reverse trend. I am prescribing aerfoil wall temp as 1000F and the inflow velocity is 1126F. Any suggestions why CFX is giving such an inverse trend(The qflux is also max at the trailing edge)?. Do i need to use the tbulk for proper prediction?
Thanks, Sulfi
Re: Heat transfer coefficient from CFX
The HTC profole characteristic from LE to TE of an airfoil will depend on the shape of the airfoil. It is not uncommon for the HTC magnitude to rise as one traverses aft from the stagnation point (line). For example, on the suction side of an airfoi, the flow may be rapidly accelerating immediately aft of the leading edge and could easily result in an HTC which rises over this region above the stagnation HTC value. Look at your flow field around the airfoil shape and see if this may be the case. Are you sure the HTC should be monotonically reducing as you progress aft of the LE? Why?
Re: Heat transfer coefficient from CFX
Also, as Sulfi mentioned the wall heat transfer coefficient is based on a local estimate of the fluid bulk temperature which often varies by quite a bit over the domain. Activating the expert parameter mentioned will fix the bulk temp to a defined temperature and this is how most wall heat transfer coefficients are reported in the literature.
Glenn Horrocks
Re: Heat transfer coefficient from CFX
Glenn, Thanks for the reply! From journals, As Glenn pointed i have come across couple of cases where the htc at suction side is more than the the LE htc value. I would like to validate my case for building confidence. The difficulty here is that i am using steam properties. Could you suggest some open literature where i can get some data for 1st stage nozzle validation for steam turbine.
Thanks Sulfi
Re: Heat transfer coefficient from CFX
Regarding the Bulk temperature setting, what would be a good approximation? I'm looking for a HTC in one of my models as well and I've been wondering how the bulk temp effects the thermal problem. Thanks!
Re: Heat transfer coefficient from CFX
You need to set the Tbulk as inlet temperature.
Re: Heat transfer coefficient from CFX
Wooster - the Tbulk temperature does not affect the simulation, only the way the HTC is reported in the results file. In the simulation heat transfer at the wall is calculated directly as a heat flux with no direct use of HTC's. The HTC is calculated from the wall heat flux.
Sulfi - You can set the Tbulk to be anything you like. Inlet temperature would be a good guess for most applications.
Glenn Horrocks
Re: Heat transfer coefficient from CFX *NM*
Re: Heat transfer coefficient from CFX
Thanks guys.
I'm looking for an easy way to just select the heated surface and figure out a heat transfer coefficient for a numerical model. Looks like I'll have to setup an equation in Pre for later use in Post. I'll play around with the bulk temp and see how that works for me.
Re: Heat transfer coefficient from CFX
Anybody aware of validation database(or journal where we can find the standard airfoil information) for htc around Gas turbine airfoil.
Thanks in advance, sulfi
Re: Heat transfer coefficient from CFX
The initial guess for tbulk does effect the reporting of the HTC in POST. Could this make a difference if you are using CFX convection for your thermal analysis?
I am having the same problem. Could you please let me know where you can modify the Tbulk in CFX?
areaInt(Wall Heat Transfer Coefficient) problem
Hi everyone!
I have a problem. Why if I set function in CFX Post:
areaInt(Wall Heat Transfer Coefficient)@wall
I get a bad unit:
[kg m^2 s^-3 K^-1]=[W/K]? Where is a m^2?
How is Ansys calculated this?
best regards
[W m^-2 K^-1] = [J s^-1 m^-2 K^-1] = [N m s^-1 m^-2 K^-1] = [kg m s^-2 m s^-1 m^-2 K^-1] = [kg s^-3 K^-1]
Integrated over an area
[kg s^-3 K^-1]*[m^2] = [kg m^2 s^-3 K^-1]
which is what you got.
Sure you didnt want areaAve(h)@wall or areaInt(h)@wall/area of wall?
Thanks for your reply!!
I calculated flow over a cylinder. Cylinder has a 294K and fluid has 293K.
I cut the cylinder in mean hight by plane and take polyline by boundary intersection- wall of cylinder and plane (green line on the picture)
Difference temperature between cylinder and fluid is 1K, so
why if I take this chart:
it isn't the same like this:
Did you specify Tbulk as 293K or are you using first node temperature for your h?
If you just specified 293K as the fluid inlet, and asked for a wall h, without specifying the Tbulk, CFX will use the first node temp for its h calcs, which probably wont be 293K, it will be something higher.
That would drive your delta T down, in which you would expect your charts to show a higher value for h, which it does.
I set the Initialisation domain temperature - 293K and fluid inlet 293K. that's wrong?
Where I might specify the Tbulk temperature?
Your initializing just fine.
But if you want a fixed Tbulk for any h calcs you need to set that Tbulk. It doesnt have to be fluid temperature, you can set it to whatever you want.
Go into the expert parameter section under Discretisation Tab>>Miscellaneous>>tbulk for htc to set the Tbulk to a fixed value.
Thanks a lot!! Problem is sloved.Singer1812, I owe you one.

Wofford Terriers vs. Furman Paladins Pick-Odds-Prediction - 2/20/14
Furman Paladins (8-17) at Wofford Terriers (15-10)
College Basketball: Thursday, February 20, 2014 at 7:00 pm (Benjamin Johnson Arena)
The Line: Wofford Terriers -13 -- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
TV: not listed
The Wofford Terriers take on the visiting Furman Paladins at the Benjamin Johnson Arena on Thursday.
Furman is looking to grab a few wins in the closing weeks of the regular season and possibly move up a notch or two for the conference playoffs to avoid early elimination. More scoring and a tougher defense would help reach that goal which we saw in the Paladins 76-67 decision over the Citadel on Saturday. The home team led by eleven early and held on thanks to 47% marksmanship and a strong defensive stand that allowed 37.5% shooting. Furman received a game high 23 points and five pulls from Stephen Croone with William Gates Jr. tossing in 12 followed by Charlie Reddick and Adonis Rwabigwi with eleven points each and 18 rebounds.
Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports
Wofford doesn't have the record or numbers that jump off the page but in reality this might be the hottest team in the SoCon with eight consecutive victories that has the Terriers sitting in third at 9-3 which is just a single game out of second behind Chattanooga. The Terriers have been laying the wood to opponents in this stretch but were forced to come from behind to knock off Appalachian State 64-58 on the road. The Mountaineers led the shooting battle 51%-45% but 15 giveaways led the way to 16 more Wofford looks which were put to good use. Lee Skinner led a trio od double digit scorers with 17 points and nine pulls with Spencer Collins and CJ Neumann adding 12 and eleven points.
Furman hasn't played all that poorly as of late and Wofford is a legitimate challenger in the SoCon who is riding an eight game winning streak so this pick is really just going with the flow...


text: You Have Authority over the enemy In Act 1:8 is says that when the Holy Spirit comes upon us we shall receive power. Jesus sends us forth into the world and gives us authority over all the works of the enemy. LUKE 10 19"Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." Because most Christians are not displaying God's power today, many turn to the occult, the powers of darkness. Every believer should be operating in the gifts of the Spirit listed in 1 Corinthians 12. This should be the norm, not the exception. Within all of us there is a desire for the supernatural. So since people are not finding it in the churches today, they are drawn to supernatural things that are not of God. But keep in mine, there can not be a counterfeit if there is not the real. MATTHEW 10 7"And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give." LUKE 7 22"Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached." He had been teaching his disciples about how to use their authority but they just wanted Him to do it instead, and not do it themselves. MARK 4 37"And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 38And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 39And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith? 41And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?" Christians are like that today. Although Jesus gave us this kind of authority most don't exercise it. Jesus stopped the storm and He would not stop anything His Father was doing, for He only does what He sees His father do. This was sent to destroy them, but instead Jesus destroyed the work of the devil. 1 JOHN 3 8"He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil." According to 2 Corinthians 4:4 satan is the god of this world and he tries to control circumstances. To think everything is of God is a man made tradition, religious thinking, and not the Word of God. Jesus told the religious leaders of his day that they were just teaching their own doctrines and saying it was Gods doctrines, "laying aside the commandment of God" and holding "to the tradition of men". He is telling us, when you do this you are "making the word of God of none effect " (Mark 7:7-8, 13) in your life through your traditions. Because of man made doctrine and unbelief, many of the churches have just a "form of religion" and are void of power. MARK 1 23"And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. 25And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. 26And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. 27And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? For with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him. " MATTHEW 8 16"When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick." If this were true everything is from God, then why did Jesus heal the sick and cast out devils? Why did he raise the dead and calm the storm? Evidently everything that comes our way is not from God. This kind of thinking is why Christians do not take authority over demonic activities. In other countries around the world, the power and gifts of God are demonstrated. But it seems those in America have been sold a bill of goods that this power is not for us today or have grown so cold they have no power. Our churches are not doing as God has commanded us. He wants to demonstrate His power through us to a world that is so much in need. 1 CORINTHIANS 2 4"And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power." JOHN 14 12"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." MARK 16 15"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." 19So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen" Notice He said "confirming the Word." If signs are not following us, then maybe we are not preaching the gospel. Are we preaching, not only salvation, but also healing, deliverance and the miracle working power of God? The reason for the signs and wonders to follow us, are to confirm the Word that we preached was true. Otherwise there is nothing to confirm. MATTHEW 28 19"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. LUKE 9 5"And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them. 6And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where." By the authority Jesus has given us we triumph over the enemy. We have the name of Jesus and the blood of Jesus. We are victorious! MATTHEW 18 8"Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." PHILIPPIANS 2 10"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth." REVELATION 12 11" And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."

Customer Reviews
In response to very recent complaints
I saw a review from Aaron Storms that was written a few days ago about the recent problems after updating the app. I ran into what I think was the same problem and was becoming frustrated. I decided to try something which seems to have fixed my problem, or at least for the moment. I double tapped my home button to bring up the running apps to switch between them and swiped up on the Kindle box to close the program, then opened the app again and finally I was able to get the missing and broken functionality to come up and work.
Hopefully others can try and have it help out. It is a shame that the upgrade didn't "just work" like Apple products and content should, but at least this workaround helped me out for now.
And since I am going to have to leave a star rating in order to submit my review I will finish by justifying it that I find it perplexing that all the functionality isn't in the Apple app like not being able to purchase books. Now that I'm thinking about it I don't think the ability to even save a potential interesting book off to a Wish List is available. Who knows what else is missing.
Newest Update- Great, only one BIG flaw I can find
I really like the new update for the app EXCEPT I really HATE the fact that you took away the sort by length button. Sometimes, I just want to find a quick short story to read and how on earth are we supposed to do that when most of us have several hundred books. Otherwise love the update. If you'd consider putting that back in I'd be grateful.
I really love the new arrow button at the top left corner so you can exit your book with one quick push instead of having to go to the sidebar then go to the library. Much more convenient.
Many other things I like, but only wanted to get on here to say I think you need to put the sort by length button back into the app. I sorted by all four of the available functions, now I'm down one. It's quite frustrating , especially since I use you're app mor than any other except Audible.
Broke kindle unlimited
Congrats your update broke my most used app. For some reason the new app won't sync with my kindle unlimited subscription. Two new books I've been waiting for came out today. Click read free. Select a book to return. Then go to read them and the books I returned are still showing. No problem I think. Maybe I clicked the wrong button. Go back and click read free. Nope it says I have it checked out. Try something else and it says the status of the books are pending. Go to sync in setting and it says synced. But the books I returned are still there and the new books I picked are not. So congrats you broke something that was working fine.
After uninstalling and reinstalling twice the books finally downloaded. So moving to a 3 Star for now until I see what happens next time. Dropping it down to 2 stars cause I continue to have issues with the app freezing and new books not showing up.

Recently on a photography internet forum someone posed the question:
"Can you be a good photographer without a car? It seems to me that photographers that have cars can have greater freedom in finding locations and venues for photo shoots where those who don't have a car or access to one either have to pay a lot of money for a studio rental or give up on the hobby completely."
As I was thinking about the question I considered my own photography-hobby. How often I had considered getting up a 4AM to travel to some location away from my home, ready to shoot just as the light would be "just right!" I thought about how difficult it would be to get to those locations without a vehicle. I'll admit I started thinking.., at least for the type of photography I enjoy, even demand of myself, that a car is pretty essential.
As I was reading through responses to the questioners' question I found this response from a photographer which seemed to jump off the page at me,
"[Without a car] you may find it difficult to comply with rule #1 of large-format photography: 'Never more than 10 feet from the car!' You'd be amazed at how many of Ansel Adams' photos have a big old, yellow Cadillac just out of frame. Now back to your problem, 'limitations can be an ally of art. They force you to be creative.' So you can certainly be a good photographer without a car. You may just have to work at it."
OK, now that the questioner (and I) have been adequately but gently rebuked, I'll admit that what has kept me from getting that "just right light" morning shot has not been my access to a car, but rather my preference for sleep.
Why post this on my blog about tech arts in the church?
Well, I wonder how many church techs are being held back waiting for a new console, moving light, video camera or projector?
Do you believe your limitations are the ally of art?
They car, errgh 'can' be.
It's up to you.

Yes. With each episode Ben comes across as kind of dumb, not too interesting, and, frankly, not that much of a catch. Kind of a poor man's Andrew Firestone.
ITA sweetpea -- who says "what's her butt?"
Very revealing, in so many ways...
What is Shawntel's supposed book about ... being on the Bachelor? If not, I don't see how coming across as a whack job on national TV is going to help book sales.
My eyes rolled back in my head when one of the girls commented that Ben better not take one of Brad's 'leftovers' ... ... ... while she's on a show vying to scoop up one of ASHLEY's leftovers, and while Ben seemed more than happy to have proposed to one of Brad's leftovers just a few short months ago.
This show has truly gotten ridiculous. The behaviour at the rose ceremony should have made any normal man run for the hills. These girls are unstable, most of them.
Just watched part of this episode. Another cringe-worthy Courtney-ism: Commenting on Shawntel, she said it was hard to watch "Ben and her's conversation." Ouch. It was hard to listen to that comment.
She also confessed that she has a hard time trusting men. So, she's a perfect candidate for falling in love on TV, with a man who is now a celebrity, and will likely have no shortage of attention from a multitude of beautiful women over the next few years.
Also I find it incredibly amusing how flipped out the women were about Shawntel providing a little more competition for them. Seriously? You think your only chance of landing the guy is eliminating all other options for him?
You're either right together or you're not. And if you are, it doesn't matter how many other women might want your man.
And I have to agree with Midol - LOVED Andrew Firestone. He was one of the few Bachelors who really seemed to take the show seriously and hoped to have met his soulmate.
I'm watching, but only OnDemand after it airs. I end up muting it and then forgetting it's on. I find Ben to be dull and the ladies to be NOT ladies, with a few exceptions.
We've had plenty of bachelors who claim they're doing the show to find a wife. Then the guy ends up in a hot tub with a bunch of girls trying to stick their tongues down his throat and he ends up picking the skanky one (who none of the other girls like) claiming they have a connection. After so many seasons of this, I am beyond cynical. If Ben ends up marrying his choice....heck, if he stays with her more than 3 months (and that's being generous) beyond ATFR, I'll be more than shocked. I just don't have any faith in his ability to NOT be blinded by sex.
Can I just say how tired I am of girls who say they aren't there to make friends? Fine, but do you have to make enemies? Yes, it's a horrid situation, but you signed up for it. I'd think that a woman's ability to get along with other people in that situation would make her more attractive. :shrug

Jennifer Lawrence Made A Lot Of Money In 2014 And This Is What She Wore
There's no doubt that you heard Jennifer Lawrence's name this year. If you didn't hear it at any other time it was during the big iCloud hack where so many celebrities found their private photos exposed for all to see. Well, that wasn't Lawrence's only public appearance as the actress played in the most recent X-Men film as well as the latest Hunger Games movie, both out this year. With the two films grossing a combined $1.4 billion worldwide to date, Lawrence took home a pretty penny. Couple that with a song that she sang in The Hunger Games going to number 12 in Billboard's Hot 100 chart, and Lawrence has cinched in the position for top-grossing actor of 2014.
Let's not forget that she's a face of Dior. So all that dough and such a high fashion brand deal means that the starlet had quite a few high profile red carpet events to go to along with quite the wardrobe to don for them. Here are just 10 looks from this year alone.

text: First off, I consider myself 100% hetero, in fact just the vision of two guys even kissing like they sometimes show on TV or in the movies repulses me. Having said that I had the opportunity many decades ago to be in the room as a spectator to a couple (the guy was in his late 30's the girl in her mid 20's). We were all pretty wasted at the time and the action was getting so hot and heavy that I could feel the pre-cum oozing out of my cock. At some point the girl asked me if I'd like to take off my clothes and start jacking my cock as she watched and at the same time either going down on her partner or being fucked by him. This went on for a period of time and all the while I was feeling like the 3rd wheel. They ended up on the couch next to me as the guy sat down and the girl kneeled on the floor in front of him giving him a blow job and this guy was extremely well endowed to the point he put me to shame. She was really going to town on his cock and then just pulled it out and essentially asked me if I'd like to try. Of course being the young reserved guy I was at the time I declined and told her she was doing a fine job. She ended up jacking his load on her tits as I jacked my in my hand. Many times I've revisited that day and wonder what if. I have to admit there is an aspect of it that is extremely tantalizing just thinking about it. I think now given the right situation the outcome could be different, but it would REALLY have to be the right situation.

Former child star Mara Wilson has never been shy about her struggle with various mental illnesses — including depression, anxiety and OCD.
And now she's helping teens who may be suffering with the same issues by teaming up with Project UROK, a nonprofit dedicated to not only helping young people who are struggling, but also lessening the stigma associated with mental health.
Mara's career took off in films like 'Matilda' (pictured above) and 'Mrs. Doubtfire.' (Photo Credit: Getty Images)
"I was an anxious kid, and I'm still kind of an anxious adult," the 27-year-old writer says in the video.
"I wish somebody had told me that it's okay to be anxious — that you don't have to fight it, that in fact fighting it is this thing that makes it worse, that pushing it away is really what it is. It's the fear of fear."

Do you go barefaced?
Three years ago when I first saw my current dermatologist, Debra Jaliman, she told me my skin was fine, but asked "Don't you want skin that doesn't require a face full of foundation?" I said, "Of course, but I've never had it and don't think I ever will." She told me I could have it, and a few months of using Vitamin C serum and prescription moisturizer (Dr. Jaliman's own line) gave it to me. Now I get skin compliments all the time and I can go "barefaced," though it's not exactly no makeup. I usually wear a little Bobbi Brown or M.A.C concealer under my eyes and on the sides of my nose, with sheer cream blush, mascara and lip gloss. How minimal can you do your makeup and still kind of look makeup-less?

I was happily surprised to see a difference and that difference continued the longer I used the product.
I was happily surprised to see a difference and that difference continued the longer I used the product.
Hair loss and hair thinning are common problems for both men and women, affecting over 80 million Americans.
That's why Galderma developed qilib, a breakthrough dual-action system to address hair thinning and hair loss by targeting the hair follicle to promote hair regrowth and nourishing the scalp where healthy hair is born, fed and grown.
The qilib Hair Regrowth + Revitalization system includes minoxidil to stimulate hair regrowth and a botanical solution with natural ingredients that makes hair look thicker, fuller and healthier.
For both men and women, hair loss is not in fact a hair problem but a skin problem.
As women age, the hair growing from follicles can start to get smaller (like arm hair) or simply not regrow. The inhibitors to normal hair regrowth appear to be androgens. These "male" hormones, in particular dihydrotestosterone (DHT), are present in all women but are kept in check by female hormones. If the balance is upset, regrowth problems can occur.
For women in particular, other key life triggers like stress, diet, medical conditions and pregnancy can also play a role.
Unlike men, frontal hairline may not change all that much for women. However, a wider middle part or more scalp can be seen when you pull back the hair.

Champagne Included on UNESCO's World Heritage List
The UNESCO World Heritage Committee has decided to include the Champagne Slopes, Houses and Cellars on its world heritage list. A historic decision has been made! The 21 representatives of the State Parties to the UNESCO World Heritage Convention unanimously voted in favour of including the Champagne Slopes, Houses and Cellars on the World Heritage List in the Living Cultural Landscapes category. The committee members recognized their Exceptional Universal Value and deemed that the protection and management conditions for the proposed property had been fulfilled.
The emotion was palpable among the French representatives from UNESCO, the Ministries of Culture and the Environment, and the delegation from the Champagne Region. "A feeling of great satisfaction and collective delight! My thoughts immediately turn to all those who worked on the application, all the partners who supported this slightly crazy undertaking, and the local people whose area has just received worldwide recognition. Inclusion on the list is a form of recognition but also an undertaking to the world's nations, so we must ensure that we are worthy of it. We are duty-bound to preserve and maintain this landscape, know-how and heritage so that we can pass them on unspoilt to future generations. We have a date with history, our very own history!" said a delighted Pierre Cheval, president of the Association Paysages du Champagne, which has spent eight years putting together and managing the area's application.
The Champagne Slopes, Houses and Cellars are not a standard vineyard landscape! This is clear to see in the way that the landscape's sites are organized and the work done by men and women, the rise of an original wine production, making and selling method from the 18th century onwards, a method that is still in use today and that has left its mark on the region and its rural and urban landscapes, and given rise to a globally renowned wine, a symbol of celebrations and parties. A unique grouping of landscapes and sites, packed with history, culture and know-how. This is why the Champagne Slopes, Houses and Cellars are now classed as being of Exceptional Universal Value. Photos, a press release and press kit are available from: http://paysagesduchampagne.fr/
The Exceptional Universal Value of the Champagne vineyard cultural landscape, the birthplace of champagne wine, has now been recognized with its inscription on UNESCO's World Heritage List. And in a broader sense, all the work done to produce, make and publicize champagne wine passed down the generations and preserved in the 320 AOC champagne districts located in the five French départements of Marne, Aube, Aisne, Haute-Marne and Seine-et-Marne.

This 'cowboy musical drama', is described in the Sydney Morning Herald as being set 'in the wilds of the West, [where] Mr Wallace appears as a parson endeavouring to reform cowboys' (2 May 1925, p.10).
The similarities in settings and some characters between Money and Matrimony and Dangerous Dan suggest that the latter may have been adapted from the first sometime during 1925. This is supported, too, by the fact that no further revivals of Money and Matrimony have been located after the 1925 Bijou Theatre season.
1925: Fullers' Theatre, Sydney, 2-8 May.
1925: Bijou Theatre, Melbourne, 11-17 July.

Lee Majors will guest-star on 'Dallas'
'Dallas" will have a little bit of Austin in it for its second season.
TNT's "Dallas" reboot has signed on Lee Majors for two episodes, a spokeswoman for the network said.
Majors will play Ken Richards, an old flame of Sue Ellen's (Linda Gray) who finds himself crossing paths with her once again -- this time for business, not romance.
Majors is best known as the star of "The Six Million Dollar Man," which ran on ABC from 1974 to 1978 and followed the exploits of former astronaut Steve Austin, who's given super powers via bionic implants after suffering injuries in a crash. He enjoyed a second wave of popularity as stuntman-bounty hunter Colt Seavers in the '80s series "The Fall Guy.")
In recent years, Majors has done guest spots on the Fox comedy "Raising Hope," "Grey's Anatomy" and the CBS drama "CSI: NY."
EW.com first reported the news of Majors' casting.

wikiHow to Do All Five Ballet Positions
Six Methods:First PositionSecond PositionThird PositionFourth PositionFifth PositionGoing Beyond the Basic Five PositionsCommunity Q&A
If you are new to ballet or just want to get a feel of the sport, then keep reading to learn the 5 basic positions of ballet. These are the basic positions in ballet that most ballet combinations (especially at the barre) will be started in.
First Position
1Put your heels together and spread your toes apart. Your heels should make a "V" shape. Make sure to focus on rotating your hips out. However, if you have hyperextended legs you can open your ankles to a couple of centimeters apart if your knees touch. If you demi-plie in 1st, you should make sure you are not rolling forward over your feet. This will lead to severe injuries.
2With your arms, pretend that you are holding a beach ball with your arms all the way around it. Your arms should make a circle, and they should rest about 3 inches (7.6 cm) away from your body.
- Tuck your thumbs in and keep your fingers and arms long.
Second Position
1To do the second position with your feet, take the first position, and spread your feet a little apart so that your heels are not touching. Open your feet to hip distance apart with the knees pointing side and the toes turned out.
2Pretend your arms are holding a giant penny. Pretend that the penny got much bigger so that to try to get your arms around it, you have to open them wide so that they are over your feet.
- Your arms should be at your sides, palms pointing forward, elbows slightly relaxed, and thumbs tucked in.
Third Position
1For the third position of the feet, place one foot in front of the other. The front foot should be touching the midway pointe of the back foot.
- One foot should be in front of the other, with the heel of the front foot touching the arch of the back foot.
2Bring one arm into the coin position, but this time a little below your belly button. Bring your other arm to the second position.
- Keep the same arm of the foot that is in front to the side. The other arm comes rounded in front of the belly button, elbows rounded and relaxed.
Fourth Position
1Start from a fifth position. From fifth position, move the front foot out a slight amount with about a foot of distance between them.
- Fourth position with the legs is one of the main preparation for a pirouette or a ballet turn.
2Keep the arm to the side the same. Keeping the rounded arm in the same shape, lift it up above the head.
- Forth position arms are one arm in the coin position, but just below the belly button, and the other above the head but forward enough that you can still see it. The high arm should also be in the coin position.
Fifth Position
1Place the toe of the front foot to heel of the back foot. Place the toe of the back foot to the heel of the front foot. Keep the knees to the sides of the room, and turn out from the thighs.
- Fifth position with the legs is the same as third, but the front foot crosses over more so that the front foot toes and the back foot heel touch.
2Bring the other arm up to meet the high arm, keeping them rounded with the elbows relaxed and the thumbs tucked in.
- Fifth position arms are the same as the high arm in fourth position (step 8), but this time, both arms are high.
Going Beyond the Basic Five Positions
1Try the sixth (parallel) position. Although it is not used often, the sixth position is best described as the first position but with toes touching. The sixth position is also known as parallel position. The arms may vary from class to class, studio to studio, and so on.
2Do preparatory position. Turn one foot turned out like in the first position, and the other in a tendu back, but with your tendu knee bent and your knees touching. The arms are usually first position arms.
Community Q&A
Do I have to wear ballet pumps?wikiHow ContributorYes, you should wear ballet flats. Or if you're on pointe, pointe shoes.
What is a tendu?Karl ThekangarooA tendu is basically when you point your foot, so just point your foot to the back.
What foot goes in front in all positions?wikiHow ContributorIn first position, the feet are straight across as in second, but in third, forth and fifth, it's up to you.
I thought that there were only 4 ballet positions?wikiHow ContributorNo, there are five.
