Design Work Moving Forward on 5th Street Complete Street
The goal of the 5th Street Complete Street project is to reduce potential for collisions between pedestrians, vehicles and cyclists.
Published: 05/06/19
The 5th Street Complete Street design between Williams and Spring Street.
The 5th Street Complete Street project is moving forward with a revised design for the Tech Square area between Williams and West Peachtree Streets as a result of ongoing collaboration with area stakeholders.
Between Williams and West Peachtree Streets, 5th Street is busy with students, employees and retail traffic due to the multiple restaurants, an Amazon drop-off center and several other businesses. The goal of the 5th Street Complete Street project is to reduce potential for collisions between pedestrians, vehicles, and cyclists along the entirety of the corridor. In the Tech Square area, the project must also endeavor to maintain the street's vibrancy.
Camera footage of the corridor as it currently exists.
The Design Process
The initial design proposal, which was presented to the public in fall 2018 for feedback, included two protected bike lanes, one in each direction. In sharing this initial design with key stakeholders, including Georgia Tech and the City of Atlanta, Midtown Alliance learned that the removal of on-street parking required to create these two protected bike lanes could potentially impact area retailers. The new design proposes a two-way cycle track along the southern edge of the roadway and two mid-block crossings to facilitate pedestrian movements. It also maintains almost all on-street parking.
"We think the revised design is exciting in that it addresses the priorities of all stakeholders and provides us the opportunity to partner with the City and Georgia Tech to improve the safety and experience of the Tech Square area," said Cladie Washburn, Director of the Capital Projects Program at Midtown Alliance.
The project corridor includes more than Tech Square. Indeed, it extends half mile east to Myrtle Street. The proposed design for the area east of Tech Square includes increased visibility for the bike lanes, reorganization of sidewalks to provide easier accessibility and ADA-compliant intersections. The original design proposed in fall 2018 remains the same and will be further detailed as the project begins the next phase of design.
The Timeline
Final designs on the project are expected to be delivered by early 2020, and construction is expected to begin by late 2020. Follow the project's progress by visiting the project webpage.

After graduating from Carleton University (B.A., 1970) and Osgoode Hall Law School (LLB, 1973) Hunter was called to the Ontario Bar in 1975 and co-founded the firm of MacKinnon & Phillips. His practice has been restricted to family law since 1978. Hunter was one of the first lawyers in Ontario to be certified as a specialist in family law by the Law Society of Upper Canada, a designation which he continues to maintain. His practice focuses on complex financial cases and the negotiation of separation agreements, marriage contracts and separation agreements.
Although preferring a settlement oriented approach, Hunter is an experienced litigator, having handled complicated cases in all levels of court in Ontario, including numerous appearances in the Ontario Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada.
Hunter was Senior Instructor in Family Law at the Bar Admission Course in Ottawa for 13 years. He frequently presents papers on family law issues at programs organized by the Law Society of Upper Canada, the Canadian Bar Association, the Advocates Society, Osgoode Hall Law School and the Carleton County Law Association and is often a guest lecturer on family law topics at the University of Ottawa Law School. For 21 years he has been a member of the organizing committee of the Carleton County Law Association's Family Law Institute, an annual conference in Ottawa on current family law issues.
Hunter is often retained by other family law lawyers as an arbitrator or to provide his opinion on the settlement of their cases, either in the form of private settlement conferences or consultations. Hunter has also been retained as an expert witness on family law in cases in both Ontario and Quebec.
Following graduation from the University of Toronto (B.A. in 1968 and Law School in 1973), I have been practicing Family Law since 1975, Family Mediation since 1982 and Collaborative Family Law since 2002.
As the first President of the Ontario Association for Family Mediation (OAFM) in 1982 (the first one in Canada) and a continuing educator in alternative dispute resolution, I have long been a proponent of the non-adversarial resolution of issues that arise when families restructure during separation and divorce.
The focus of my practice is on achieving fair and effective settlements for my clients without going to court. This is the aim of the Family Mediation and Collaborative Family Law processes.
I am an Accredited Family Mediator (OAFM), an Accredited Elder Mediator (OAFM), and have also qualified as a member of the panel of the Ottawa Collaborative Family Law group.
I invite you to contact me to learn more about Family Mediation, Elder Mediation and Collaborative Family Law and how they can work for you, and the following websites will be helpful:

Founding herbsack presented an unexpected challenge and blessing in one. When we hired Amazon to fulfill our online orders, Amazon told us each herbsack product required a sealed plastic bag with a suffocation warning and UPC code on it. Yikes! We had ~ 7000 bags all ready to ship to Amazon from our factory, and now another step, and expense. What to do?
A local packaging store told me about Hope Services, so I inquired.
From the moment I spoke to Sean Galvin, the Production Manager at Hope Services, I felt I was in good hands. Sean introduced me to the Inventory Manager, Dan Marberry. I was a nervous business owner, yet Dan put me at ease. His team had a lot of experience in packaging products.
Dan gave me a tour of the facility in Santa Clara, CA. He showed me how he set up assembly lines for each job. I met the workers, called clients, and they were so friendly. They performed the job beautifully, in a timely fashion, and at a very competitive price. They were so easy to work with, and always pleasant!
Dan told me the clients enjoyed packaging the herbsack bags. He said he hoped herbsack would be successful so the clients could do more bagging and tagging for us. Well, I hope herbsack will be successful too!
I wholeheartedly recommend Hope Services for local companies that need production services. Believe me, the reward will exceed your expectations.

"the production of hemp fibre is a highly sustainable process. It is a carbon negative crop because it actually absorbs CO2 from the air. It can be produced with half the amount of water and land in comparison to cotton has thrice the tensile strength of cotton. It can also be easily blended with other fibres and doesn't strip the soil of nutrients. On the contrary, hemp returns 60-70 per cent of all nutrients back into the soil."
"If you live on the Shore, and you walk on the beach, and you see plastic straws and Styrofoam containers, you know what the damage is," said Monmouth Beach Mayor Sue Howard, who voted for the ban, which took effect on June 1, 2018"
As a textile, hemp is durable, comes in a variety of natural colors based on how it is processed from the plant, and has "a wonderful drape, comparable to linen," according to Patagonia. Plus, it needs approximately half as much land and half as much water as cotton does to thrive

Tom Foley defends firings at Pennsylvania business
Says striking workers lost jobs because they didn't come to work
ROCKY HILL >> Tom Foley Tuesday wouldn't talk about why he didn't take back workers at a Pennsylvania plant he owned after they offered to end a strike and forego raises, if negotiations resumed.
The Republican gubernatorial candidate said workers, for up to six weeks, were welcome to take the last contract offer T.B. Wood's Sons Co. had made to machinists in 1990 at the plant in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.
The Chambersburg Public Opinion reported the machinists had offered to come back in May 1990 after replacement workers began being hired, but the company refused. They had gone on strike April 30 of that year.
The Baltimore Sun said 260 United Auto Workers Local 95 were still on strike after 2½ years, and by December 1993 the union was voted out. The Chambersburg Public Opinion said 322 workers eventually were fired.
The Connecticut Post had a story on the strike after it contacted workers who participated in it, who said Foley wanted to break the union.
Foley was hoping to talk about agriculture in the state and the need for a better economy Tuesday when he stopped at the Fair Weather Farm in Rocky Hill and arranged a press conference.
But the questions were about T.B. Woods and whether he was going to release his 2013 income taxes, given that all filers who had sought an extension had until midnight Wednesday to send them to the IRS.
"I actually hadn't thought about that. I'll let you know," Foley responded to the question about his income taxes.
Last month, he invited reporters to view summaries of his federal taxes from 2010, 2011 and 2012, but did not release his state income taxes or the 2013 return because of his filing extension.
Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy allowed reporters to take copies of summaries of his federal and state returns from 2010-2013, where he paid an effective federal tax rate of 38.2 percent, 20.7 percent, 25.3 percent and 25.2 percent in those years.
Foley paid $315,563 in taxes in 2010, an effective rate of 31 percent, but the effective rate was zero in 2011 when the millionaire businessman reported negative income of $65,705 and $20,462 in 2012.
Malloy has been criticized for deductions he took on rental income from his home in Stamford that decreased the almost $200,000 in income over 26 months from this asset to $1,795 on his 2013 filing, according to the Connecticut Post. He would not release the worksheet showing the deductions.
Foley originally addressed the T.B. Woods issue in September when the AFL-CIO criticized his tenure there and his response to questions Tuesday mirrored those remarks.
The Sun and the Chambersburg Public Opinion both had stories on the violence on the picket line, but Foley Tuesday said he couldn't remember any.
Foley last month said he wasn't involved in the day to day operation of the plant, but workers in the Post story disputed this.
He said the workers "got very bad advice from their union. Some choose to return to work and some didn't and the ones who didn't, lost their jobs. ... That's the union's fault. It is not the employees' fault."
The union however, according to the Chambersburg Public Opinion, had recommended that the workers take the 50 cent hourly wage hike in each of three years with medical benefits. But the workers had narrowly voted, 152-140, to go on strike after not getting raises for three years, although they had gotten a bonus spread out over three years, according to the Sun.
"We waited six weeks. Companies have a lot of employees who aren't members of the union and if you own or run a company you have a responsibility to all of the employees," Foley said.
The Republican candidate said he has "no problem with unions. I'm pro-worker. I'm not pro-union. I'm not anti-union. I'm pro-worker."
National AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, who was in Connecticut Tuesday campaigning for Malloy, criticized Foley for his actions at T.B. Wood's Sons. Foley, who was the largest shareholder in the company, sold them in March 2007 for $40 million, after he had been appointed ambassador to Ireland by President George W. Bush.
Foley was asked if bringing in outside politicians will have an impact on how people vote.
He has had New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie come to Connecticut three times, although Christie cancelled his fourth appearance scheduled for Tuesday. Foley will have Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal here Friday to raise campaign funds for the Republican Party.
"I think it shows support. It helps with fundraisers. I don't think it is going to make a difference in this election. This election is going to be so clear. It's going to be, 'do you think Connecticut is making progress or do you think we have lost ground?'" Foley said.
Malloy has had former President Bill Clinton campaign for him twice and on Wednesday, President Barack Obama will be in Bridgeport supporting his re-election.
Foley said it is always good when a president visits Connecticut, "but I think it shows the governor can't win this election on his own. He is looking for people to come in and help" and he can't win on his record.

Another rare vinyl to cover. based on the awesomeness of the Jesus is the Truth single, I tried to find if there was anything else by Rescue. The only thing I managed to unearth was this 5 song 12-inch vinyl ep. How does it stand up to the previous single? This ep seems to lean more towards the hard rock of "Get Right" than the Misfits-inspired punk of "Jesus is the Light." Both songs on side 2 have a distinct new wave influence while at the same time leaning more towards punk. "Time Thoughts" even gets pretty close to being heavy metal. Of course, being a Detroit band in the early 80s, I would assume they were heavily influenced by the 80s garage rock revival – maybe even the growth of the garage punk movement as well. So why two drummers? Not sure – Vince is listed but there is no picture of him. "Kicks" is a cover of the Paul Revere & The Raiders song. I can't find any information about them online, so this may be the only spot they will ever be remembered.

Re-Uroval (リ・ウロヴァール) is a large port city located in the Re-Estize Kingdom.
Re-Uroval was located to the northern most part of the Kingdom. To the south was the Azerlisia Mountains and the mining city of Re-Blumrushur.
Chronology Edit
The Witch of the Falling Kingdom Arc Edit
- Main article: The Witch of the Falling Kingdom Arc
The city was mentioned at E-Naüru's debut with the other coastal city being used as a comparison.[1]
Layout Edit
The city was said to have more landmass and ships docked within its ports than E-Naüru.
Trivia Edit
- The name of the city was actually released in Overlord Volume 09, in a map of the New World.
- Based on the city's name, it most likely that the noble who rules this city is Margrave Urovana.

I can hardly pretend Moroccan shopping expert Laetitia Trouillet is an insider secret. She has cornered the market in Marrakech shopping expertise, having taken everyone from editors to Sarah Jessica Parker and Gwyneth Paltrow around her favoured haunts.
I had hoped that she would be able to show us her Marrakech too – lil'sis is walking with a stick at the moment, and planning to spend hours wandering aimlessly through the souks just wasn't realistic, but she was recently taken to court by the Moroccan tour guides' association. In the belief that only Moroccans should do this job, they are trying to ban expats from conductinf personal shopping tours in Morocco. With the case still in process, her hands are tied, and she works on a consultancy basis only.
So we made do with a visit to her tiny store, Lalla from Marrakech with love, in the Galerie du Souk Cherifia, the little arcade of shops under Terrasse des Epices, where we had lunched earlier.
She has some really great bags and clutches. In Moroccan terms they aren't cheap, but compared to what you might pay in London for something similar they are keenly priced. Her trademark piece is the Habibi bag:
I bought the grey studded clutch in the top photo for 850 dirhams – about £65 at today's rate, and lil'sis bought a pretty blue leather plaited belt for 300 dirhams – about £22.

Smooth and precise, it's always a treat to watch a bit of Matty Miles shredding. The Raw 100 series is fast becoming a one of the best showcases for riders and videographers so it's a treat to have this long-maned Whistler local in front of the lens.
Red Bull said; "Miles's riding is fluid and fast and Walker's filmmaking is just as dynamic – and then some. As always, plug in some headphones and bump the volume up a few notches."

Newsbusters posted a story today about numbers released by the St. Louis Federal Reserve last week on unemployment fraud. Their research found $3.3 billion in fraudulent unemployment claims in 2011.
This is a chart from the article:
Scarier still, there were people in this country making in excess of $100,000 a year that received unemployment benefits in 2011:
Considering the media's panic over $85 billion in supposed sequestration cuts, you would think they'd be interested in this.
The only media that covered this were the Wall Street Journal on Friday and a Huffington Post on Sunday.
It seems to me that this is something that American taxpayers might be interested in. Not only do we have a spending problem, we also have a dishonesty problem.

Jacques Derrida (1995) – Archive Fever: A Freudian Impression
(The Tower of Babel by Abel Grimmer, 1595 [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons)
What is "Archive Fever", what is the archival impulse and why does Jacques Derrida make this connection with Freudian analysis? This particular work is not suggested reading in the Module Handbook but I felt I had to read it because it is mentioned so often by other writers on photography and the archive. In these summary notes I will concentrate upon concepts that made particular sense to me, given that I will be writing later about my personal archive of letters, documents and photographs and the memories they hold for me – objects and memories that have contributed to my own sense of self.
Archive Fever: A Freudian Impression (1995) is the title given to a published lecture (translated from the French) given by Jacques Derrida at a weekend Conference Memory – The Question of Archive in June 1994. The Conference emerged from the Freud Museum's fund-raising campaign and was held at Somerset House, London.
(Mike Quinn [CC BY-SA 2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)%5D, via Wikimedia Commons)
Derrida delivered his lecture (entitled the Concept of the Archive: A Freudian Impression) on the Saturday afternoon in what was described as 'a truly memorable tour de force' according to the Conference Report , engaging his audience 'in a scintillating play of reflections around the idea of a historical record' for three and a half hours. To me, as reader, this paper was convoluted, complex and difficult to follow. I have recently reminded myself, though, that it probably made much more sense to his audience who were likely to be well-acquainted with both Derrida's ideas and previous works alongside those of Sigmund Freud.
The essay is mainly concerned with the notion of the archive in Freud's works but also touches upon electronic media; the role of inscription technology in the psyche and in the archives; Freud's 'magic tablet'; circumcision as metaphor and inscription and also whether psychoanalysis is a Jewish science.
Derrida begins by looking at the term 'archive' – 'arkhe', commencement of a thing, primacy in time, and the Greek 'arkheion' residence of the magistrate and the place where official documents were filed. "The archons are first of all the documents' guardians"(1995: 9) who ensure their security and have the power to interpret the archives. It is in this 'house arrest' that archive takes place (I take this as the 'act' of archiving) and the 'dwelling' marks this passage from the private to the public although not from the secret (private) to the non-secret (public). Derrida comments that this also happens as Freud's last house becomes a museum, passing from one institution to another (1995:10). He refers to at least three these that have a common trait concerning 'the impression left by the Freudian signature on its own archive on the concept of the archive and of archivization, that is to say also, inversely and as an indirect consequence, on historiography.' At a basic level I take this to mean that whatever is in the archive comprises evidential memory pre-shaped by Freud and his family's choices as to what should be destroyed and what should be retained to maintain his reputation and keep his teachings alive, plus what should be seen/unseen. These choices would, then, be further shaped by those who have maintained and will maintain and expand the archive in the future. This site was helpful in reminding me of this .
If I relate this to my own 'archive' then I will be interpreting material that my family members and I chose to keep. For example, my father's letters to me, from Egypt, were kept and I took them with me when I married and left home. After my parents' deaths I found no letters that either of them had written to each other during that period of time. I added photographs and letters to my own archive and these included material that my mother had retained from her mother's personal effects. I have continued this work of gathering together by searching for information about the immediate post-war years both in this country and in Egypt. In 2005 I visited Egypt, added further impressions of the country, felt an empathic connection with my father, and took my own photographs.
Continuing along similar lines of thought Derrida connects the archive (Freud's) with the death drive 'which is anarchivic (resists and subverts the archive) , or archiviolithic and threatens every archival desire – le mal d'archive, archive fever (1995:14). The archive will never be either memory or anamnesis (having the ability to recall past events) as spontaneous, alive and internal experience . It is hypnomesic – impairs memory (1995:12) . the technical structure of the archive also determines the structure of the archivable content and the archivization produces as much as it records the event. Derrida uses the example of e-mail – stating that psychoanalysis would not have been what it was if such had existed because electronic mail is moving towards transforming public and private space and the limit between the private, the secret (private or public) and the public of the phenomenal (1995:17). He then moves on to thinking more about the structure, and uses the notion of the printer to link the theory of psychoanalysis (including memory) with a theory of the archive. This links back with Freud's concept of a 'mystic pad'. [i]
With the thought of the graphic mark, repetition and printing, Derrida links 'inscription' with circumcision, which leaves the trace of the incision directly on the skins – 'more than one skin at more than one age' (1995:19) the layers of skin as sedimented archives. In appearance this is a private inscription. "To which archive does it belong – that of Sigmund Freud? That of the psychoanalytic institution or science? Where does one draw the limit" (1995:19). Derrida proposes another example. On the day of his 35th Birthday Freud was handed the Bible he had studied in his youth which his father, Yakob Freud, restored to , with a new leather, binding as a gift. This appeared with a new translation in a book on Freud by the Jeweish Historian Professor Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi (1932-2009)expected to give his own lecture later) and Derrida states that the book left a strong impression on him that accompanied the preparation of his lecture. Derrida was interested in Yerushalmi's attempts to analyse Freud's practice alongside Freud's relationship to his Jewish heritage and the question as to whether genetically or structurally psychoanalysis is really a Jewish science, given that Freud refuted the influence of his heritage. (1965:28).
Derrida examines three meanings which layer with each other in the word and phrase 'impression' and 'Freudian impression' and their relationship to 'memory' "that objectivizable storage called the archive" (1995:22)
- Scriptural or typographic – There has to be a substrate for the mark/impression to be left there. Can one imagine an archive without a foundation?
- Neither Freud nor ourselves (those present at the lecture) have managed to form a concept of 'archive'. We only have a series of impressions. Whilst Freudian psychoanalysis proposes a theory of the archive the concept of the archive must inevitably carry within itself an 'unknowable' weight.
- The third meaning concerns the impression left by Sigmund Freud – impressions made upon him by birth; circumcision; faith; his culture and his culture's history; interactions with others; the impression that he has made upon others; the history of history
He believes that whilst the notion of the archive points towards the past it should also question the coming of the future. If we imagine 'a project of general archivology' it would have to either include psychoanalysis or place itself under the critical authority of psychoanalysis.
My understanding of this is that the 'archive' cannot be objective in its gathering of evidence. Its very structure is created by those who have been moulded through their own 'culture', history and biology. That culture includes what Freud termed trans-generational memory or archive – the memory of cultural experiences (cf Simon Schama (2004) Landscape and Memory). An archive produces as well as records – it creates collections of material, choices are made as to what should be retained/maintained/ disposed of. I can apply this to my own personal archive as well as an institutional one. I can, of course, also apply this to my own memory of events that structure within my brain that stores impressions, thoughts, feelings, perceptions of events, so this must be taken into account.
I have found this both a fascinating and frustrating period of reading, attempting to follow Derrida's convoluted thought processes whilst somehow absorbing ideas that are useful to me in carrying forward this question of archives. Somewhat late in the day I also discovered this blog post by Walker Sampson which particularly looks at the essay from the point of view of a practicing records manager of archivist.
[i] At this point I felt compelled to discover more about Freud's concept. Musing on memory preservation Freud, thought of writing in a note book –but the sheet would soon be filled plus this 'permanent' trace might lose value if the note becomes no longer interesting enough to be retained in 'memory' . An alternative would be chalk on slate – notes could be erased but the writing surface retained, but then there could not be a permanent trace. Freud then brings to mind a product of the time called a "Mystic Writing Pad" or Printator (still sold today as a children's toy )
The writing on it vanishes and does not reappear and yet a trace is left on the bottom of the three layers – If we imagine one hand writing upon the surface of the Mystic Writing-Pad while another periodically raises its covering sheet from the wax slab, we shall have a concrete representation of the way in which I tried to picture the functioning of the perceptual apparatus of our mind. (S. Freud, 1925:212)

The European Commission has given the thumbs up to Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub.
The EU took a look at the deal and concluded that, yup, everything would be fine and dandy.
It observed that "Microsoft would have no incentive to undermine the open nature of GitHub's platform", something that Microsoft is all too aware of as the future CEO of GitHub, Nat Friedman, admitted "if Microsoft screws this up, we will lose the trust of developers for a generation"
Deeper dive with GitHub Actions: One config file to rule them all and in the darkness bind themREAD MORE
The Commission reckoned that in the field of code collaboration and development environments, MicroGit would still "face significant competition from other players".
As for if competition would be weakened as a result of the merger, the Commission thought not. It took a look at the chances of Microsoft using GitHub to drive users to Redmond's own development or cloud platforms and observed the simple fact that coders would simply up sticks and move elsewhere, thus devaluing the $7.5bn that Microsoft paid for GitHub.
So, in a statement that we hope does not come back to haunt it, the Commission "concluded that the transaction would raise no competition concerns in any of the affected markets" and cleared the case unconditionally.
And with that, Microsoft has cleared another hurdle in bringing GitHub into the fold. ®

sisters go to sleep. It backfired. We stayed up for hours continuing the tale.
The King's Trial was born in those late, whispered nights.
at age four, I've lived high adventure: scuba diving, mud football with my
brothers, rappelling, and even riding a retired racehorse at full
gallop—bareback. I love the thrill and joy.

the heroine who fights her way free instead of waiting to be saved. I read
fiction and true-story adventure. I write both, though I'm starting with
publishing the fiction—fact will come later.
poetry. I live a joyful adventure with my husband and six children. I am a
Christian and I love my Savior.
Top Ten List
- As a child, I couldn't walk across a room. I danced, spun, skipped, ran, or otherwise moved, but I couldn't just walk.
- I took calculus at a community college at age 14. I planned to go to MIT and become an astronaut. Plans changed—in wonderful ways.
- I love reading to my children. We've enjoyed books from Dr. Seuss to Les Misérables. Maniac Magee is one of our favorites.
- I lived in St Petersburg, Russia for half-a-year teaching English to kindergartners. I learned to wash my clothes in a bathtub, filter and boil my drinking water, and love my sweet, crayon-eating, kids.
- I have slight dyslexia. 'b' and 'p' sometimes flip flop on me. But it also means I can read a book upside-down.
- I love climbing, rappelling, and horseback riding. But I hate roller coasters and bungee jumping.
- I've journaled almost every day since I turned seventeen. I capture conversations, descriptions, happenings, and quotes. I explore ideas. Through the years I've written well over a million words. It prepared me to become an author.
- Plumbing Repair is my nemesis. I'm grateful I don't have to battle it very often. In the end, I always win, but I feel like I've fought an archvillain who pulled every dirty trick in the book, including Chinese water torture in claustrophobic conditions.
- I live with a vivid imagination. I dream in 3-D, technicolor, and occasionally with my eyes open. This is a bane when it comes to nightmares. I will not watch horror movies.
- The King's Trial started as a bedtime tale I told my little sisters twenty years ago. Don't worry. I wrote the second book, The King's Shadow,in six months, and it will come out this autumn.
Plus an extra: I have an accent. People often ask me where I'm from. Maybe it's my reader accent. I've read out-loud enough different books in character, that perhaps it stuck.

Ardern Vows To Deny Gunman Notoriety He Seeks Part 1
2019-03-19 07:04
New Zealand's prime minister on Tuesday declared she would do everything in her power to deny the Christchurch attacker a platform for his racist views. The prime minister spoke after the white supremacist accused of gunning down 50 people at two mosques in Christchurch dismissed his lawyer and opted to represent himself at trial. "I agree that it is absolutely something that we need to acknowledge, and do what we can to prevent the notoriety that this individual seeks," Jacinda Ardern told reporters before addressing parliament. Asked if she would like the trial to occur behind closed doors, she said that was not her decision to make. The gunman's desire for infamy was made clear by the fact that he left behind a convoluted 74-page manifesto before Friday's massacre and livestreamed footage of his attack on the Al Noor mosque. That video prompted widespread revulsion and condemnation. Facebook said it removed 1.5 million versions of the video during the first 24 hours after the massacre. But on Tuesday, Ardern expressed frustration that the video remained available online, four days after the attack. She said she had received "some communication" from Facebook's Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg on the issue. The prime minister also spoke with British Prime Minister Theresa May about the importance of a global effort to clamp down on the distribution of such material. Credit: AP

Last year at evam Stand-up Tamasha, we had two of our young and up-coming comics, Alex and Baggy come together to do a One-by-Two stand-up comedy special called The Yogi & The Bear. With both the comics doing over 45 mins of content each and adding their own unique skills to make it a truly special show, we were able to produce a great tour of the show with over 25 shows across India. Now both of them have solo stand-up specials of their own, which are both doing incredibly well.
We are doing something very similar this year, with the most promising artists from our repertory and are very excited about them. We've clubbed together comics with certain similarities and have put together 3 stand-up specials. The main idea of course being that these artists get to showcase more than 40 mins of individual content, while touring with their first stand-up specials and in doing so build an audience of their own, who probably have so far seen them only through online videos.
evam Stand-up Tamasha will be producing tours of these shows over the next few months across our home markets. All of these artists will be bringing their best content to stage, along with some brand new content as well. Look out for these over the upcoming months in these cities. We hope our audiences will share with us the joy of witnessing the future stars of stand-up comedy.
Touring in the next few months across Chennai, Bengaluru & Hyderabad are:

Also to be clear, the good carbs were on 94 and 95 small pin ss xis and xirs. The rest of the dual 750 Keihins are not all good, the later (38mm?) ones off the big pin were smaller and I would dump in the trash. I did a quick check and it looks like the 96 ss xi switched to big pin / 12 bolt intake / smaller 2 jet Keihins.
So for those of you out there who are interested in Keihins, be careful which ones you get. You want the dual 40mm Keihin CDK2s off the original dual carb small pins for sit downs. They came on the lime green head engines, but may not be exclusive to those engines. Also of note the 95 sxi came with different, 2 jet versions of the original good 40mm Keihin CDK2s. That is a different topic entirely.

Trunk or Treat!
DSM will be participating in this year's Dedham Trunk-or-Treat! And lest you think it is just for kids: parents, this pre-game Trick or Treat opportunity is not only another chance to score more candy that you know you're going to sneak from your child's stash, but also a chance to get more use out of their costumes.
It's a fun weekend activity for the whole family! Come find our decked out Trunk, get some treats, and chat with us!
It is with great pride and pleasure that we announce to you that the DSM Board has hired the second Executive Director for the Dedham School of Music. We would like to introduce you to Amy Fichera, who officially began her tenure on August 22, 2016.

With her strong professional background in business development and her experience as a teacher and performer, the Board is confident that Amy will lead DSM to the next level of providing music education, access and appreciation for our community.
I would also like to take this time to publicly thank Karl Orvik for serving as our Interim Executive Director for the last several weeks. He did an outstanding job over the summer and we are grateful for his leadership, guidance and flexibility to us during this time of transition.

Dear Arisaph Steele,
Word has reached my ears, even locked up in this city, that you are now deserving of the title of Count. Oh, how it warms this old lady's heart to see such a young elk do so well. I have always seen such potential in you, and am delighted to find my faith not misplaced. If my son had even half your cunning, he would be well on his way to earldom. However, one cannot choose one's children, only if one will keep them. Still, he has given me some of the most delightful grandchildren. If you were not already married, I would introduce you to my great-granddaughter. She is quite beautiful for an Elk. And I must say, she looks just as I did, when I was a young Spring.
Even so, I hope you will honor me by staying with me when you come to the Senate to be approved. Of course, you must wait til this nastiness with the Emperor being attacked and what not is over. This is all really bad business. I heard it was a Falcon who did it. It would not surprise me, for some of the nastiest ven you will ever meet are Falcons. Not all are, for I am certain you would have chosen well for your wife.
Speaking of Falcons, please tell me this wedding you are throwing is not for the granddaughter of Desirée Sinjin? Indeed, I know it must be true, as word is traveling that you are making deals with the Countess Sinjin. I see such a strong ambition in you, so I understand why you would make such a risk. Still, use all caution and be done with the family as soon as you possibly can. I have heard rumors of that girl Vriyana. Some say she has used sorcery to bind herself to orks of all things. I also had heard that she could even transform into an ork at will. Mind you, I scoffed at those tales. But something has recently come into my house which makes me worry there is more truth to that possibility. Take care, Arisaph.
I am sorry that I must refuse your kind invitation. The Capitol is locked up tight, and none may leave. Besides, I cannot possibly imagine traipsing across Shanri for the marriage of a Sinjin. Though, for your sake, I might have gone, if only to remind that Countess that greater women than she have an interest in your well-being.
Until we meet again,
Lady Zara

Electric tracing system and steam / hot water heating process
2017-07-31 09:28:47 Heating element,Thermost heater,Hot runner coil heater,Flexible heater Read
The steam or hot water pipe is only wired contact with the process pipe, and the heat exchange efficiency is lower than 50%. because of the limitation of the traditional installation condition
Liquid transmission, heat loss, especially if the heating device is far away from the heat source, along the heat loss and leakage is more obvious
The electric heat tracing cable is flat, and a wide heat exchange can be formed through the heat loss calculation and the installation of accessories, and the heat exchange efficiency can reach 95%.
The heat tracing cable is only laid on the heating equipment and is connected to the power box through the common cable, so the heat loss is not large

need right now: gasparilla edition
With Gasparilla just around the corner {and the temps all over the place}, I rounded up a few of my must haves for Tampa's favorite celebration. Cannot wait to spend the day with friends watching the parade from a friend's apartment {avoiding some of the craziness on the streets}. I'm sure I'll be wearing some variation of the above, especially given my weakness for all things striped.
1. Zara tee // 2. Zara top with jeweled neckline // 3. velvet tee // 4. Zara shorts // 5. Citizens coated jeans // 6. Alexander McQueen skull bracelet // 7. Skull ring // 8. Vince d'orsay flats // 9. House of Harlow booties, different color on sale here // 10. Converse sneakers //
I saw some super cute items over at Penelope T, too, and will probably be making a lunch-break trip over there this week :)

text: Election Special: NHS is now No 1 issue for voters! -ESON Newsletter 22/11/19 22/11/2019 admin Campaigning, Newsletter, NHS 0 The NHS has now replaced Brexit as the No 1 election issue which is a huge boost for health campaigners and everyone who has helped to keep the NHS in the public eye – a good news story for a change! No doubt the media stories that A&E, cancer and other waiting times for treatments are at their highest ever has played a part too – more on this story later The Government's claim that it's all down to 'higher demand' isn't going to wash with voters. It's all about the chronic underfunding clearly visible in our hospitals and overcrowded GP surgeries. Although we are not party political it should therefore come as no surprise that we say the NHS is not safe in their hands. As this is an Election Special we want to share with you our campaign plans and hope that some of you can help distribute our election leaflets in your local street and join us at other events. NHS doctors and nurses speak out in a powerful video – UNMISSABLE! There are some pretty unbelievable claims being made in this election about the NHS, mainly by the current Government. Keep Our NHS Public and Health Campaigns Together have produced this video with the testimonies of NHS doctors, nurses and therapists. Their honest fact-checked statements tell it like it is. We hope you will watch it and share it with friends and family– Vote to Save Our NHS – our Campaign Plans: Over the next few weeks we will be talking to people about why they should use their vote to save the NHS. If you can spare some time to join us it would be great to see you. Street Stalls: This Friday 22nd November – 11.00-1.00pm in in the Marketplace opposite Morrisons, Acton High Street & St Marys Church. There will be leaflets, petitions, stickers & more. Saturday 23rd November – Keep Our NHS Election Roadshow – 11.30 -1.30pm outside Uxbridge Tube Station. We are joining with other NHS campaigners in Boris Johnson's constituency – should be fun. Saturday 30th November – 11.00-1.00pm – Greenford Broadway (just down from Greenford Hall & the Wishing Well Pub) Saturday 7th December – Our annual Xmas day of Action Tube Stations: Wednesday 11th December – final leafleting outside Ealing Broadway Station from 5.30-7.00pm – Vote, Vote NHS! We also plan to leaflet at South Ealing, Northfields and Acton Town – any help appreciated. Copies of our Election leaflet and Poster can be found here but here is a pre-view:- CAN YOU HELP: We would welcome offers of help to leaflet your local streets and get theVote NHS message out. If you can help please email me so we can arrange drop off of leaflets – thanks ESON Xmas Day of Action – Saturday 7th December – This is now an annual feature in our campaigning diary. It's always good fun and we get agreat response from shoppers as we tour round the local shopping centres. We will have ourcolourful leaflets and stickers to give out and a megaphone to draw attention. Adding to the impact in a big way will be our decorated loudspeaker Car with our 'Vote to Save Our NHS' posters.There may even be a bit of singing! We start from Southall Town Hall at 11.00, aiming to do about an hour in each place, then off to West Ealing Sainsbury's from 12.30. After a lunch break in Ealing Broadway, our last stop is Marks & Spencer at 2.45 pm. Final details a bit nearer the time, but if you want to help please let me know. Hospital waiting times are the worst – ever: According to recent official NHS statistics, key targets for cancer, hospital care and A&E have been missed for over three years – with delays for hospital care and in A&E hitting their highest levels since both targets were introduced. Target waiting times for A&E, cancer treatment and a whole host of other waiting targets are constantly being missed. 4.42 million patients on the waiting list at the end of September, the highest number ever and some trusts are planning to cancel operation to cope with the Winter crisis. 84.8% of them waiting under 18 weeks – below the 92% target and the worst performance since the target was introduced, in 2012 76.9% of cancer patients starting treatment within 62 days – below the 85% target 83.6% of A&E patients admitted or transferred within four hours in October – below the 95% target and the worst performance since the target started was introduced, in 2004 – perhaps no surprise the current Government says they are ' outdated' and is pilot new measurements! You can read the full story here – Thanks for your continued support – please tell everyone you know to Vote to Save Our NHS Post Views: 20

The sanctity of process should never be overlooked. Yes, I know some of you want to smash the system and just do whatever the fuck you want, but there will come a point where even anarchy needs a doctor's appointment or to Press 1 for an Operator. When that moment arrives, if instead of sticking it to the man you need to ask him for help, what do you do? Chaos is sometimes not the answer, I'll grant you, but there are days when an injection of unpredictable will utterly alter the trajectory of existence.
That was me, yesterday.
A dam has been burst today. My genuine joy over writing EXACTLY WHAT I WANT has been rekindled, and I know why. For too long the cynic in me has been quashed because of a nagging, annoying voice that kept pointing out that you have to not dump on the things others enjoy. Except, and here's the kicker, I still love playing Warcraft. I'm continuing to pay the company a not inconsiderable amount of money to do so to boot. I am aware this does not give me the right to complain, but at the same time IT TOTALLY DOES.
If I don't like something, it is okay to hold that opinion.
The trick must be to express that difference in a positive way, and not allow the entire shebang to devolve into maudlin chaos. I also need to spend a fair portion of Saturday making sure that the game's to a certain state before the much anticipated pre-Expansion patch drops, which should take place sometime over the next two weeks.
This is the most excited I've been about gaming for close to a year, I reckon.

Why Every Social Media Manager Should be Over 25*
Loathe as I am to do it, I'm going to jump on the dogpile over University of Iowa student Cathryn Sloane's misguided (and fact-bereft) post "Why Every Social Media Manager Should be Under 25."
In it, Sloane argues that growing up with the nascent technologies lends young people a preternatural understanding of them that older people cannot grasp (as they are moored in old ways of thinking that cannot give transcendent insight). As someone who just edged out of the 25-34 age group, the essay stung a bit.
It's down on all fours with arguing that growing up with the Blu-ray video format means Hollywood should only hire directors under 25.
I'll readily concede that age can sometimes hinder people from grasping new ways to use new technologies. However, the idea that young people have a monopoly on creativity or tech-savvy is completely disputed by the facts.
First, take search. Being able to query the web for information is perhaps the single most important skill for any digital professional. People under 25 are wretched at it. Read more…
"...and you shall have no pie."As my parents tell it, when I was an infant my first word wasn't a word - it was an entire sentence. Very little has changed.

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
If Pulp Fiction (1994) marked John Travolta's resurgence as a major Hollywood actor after falling into oblivion in the wake of Saturday Night Fever (1977), then his performance in Get Shorty (1995) the following year left no doubt that his swagger had returned. This is easily one of the most memorable, fun, ensemble casts in recent memory, even if the film is over twenty-years old now.
Based on the great Elmore Leonard's novel of the same name, Get Shorty is mostly style, and the substance is fun enough to make this an easy view. You can tell that the cast and crew had a blast filming this, with Director Barry Sonnenfeld's trademark blend of sharp dialogue and quirky tough guys.
The cast is absolutely loaded, with a drop-dead Rene Russo in her prime, Gene Hackman playing against type as a goofy Hollywood producer, Danny DeVito as, well, Danny DeVito, Dennis Farina as the unforgettable "Ray Bones,' and a pre-Sopranos James Gandolfini to boot.
The soundtrack is perfectly done for this genre, a black comedy that never gets too dark.

3:15 PM - Gold Circle Racing Youtube Channel Playlist Maiden Plate
PARADE OF NATIONS is a well bred Twice Over gelding that has shown potential in the West Cape. He could be in need of this polytrack and his stable has been in hot form of late. DASH VALLEY ran on well in his second run after rest. He is still learning. FINAL ASSEMBLY has the better draw and could finish ahead of him again. MIGHTY GEMINI ran on last. More can score.
Top Tip: Final Assembly (3)
Watch out for: Parade Of Nations (4)
2 3:50 PM - Gold Circle Podcast Graduation Plate
SEATTLE KID caught the eye in his Barrier Trial. He has scope for good improvement. LICKERIO is back on the poly and could be hard to peg back if allowed to stride in front. SCRABBLE is unbeaten in two this track and trip and needed his last start. It doesn't end there as the rest of this field are useful sorts with room for improvement.
Top Tip: Scrabble (1)
Watch out for: Lickerio (2)
3 4:20 PM - Download The Tabgold Information App FM 60 Handicap (F & M)
BIKER BABE has improved in no uncertain terms at her new yard. She impressed last time and can follow up if not minding the drop in trip. MISSIBABA is holding her form well and is back to her best track and trip. She has the best of the draw and should make a race of it. SUCH A RUSH won well after rest and has been rested again. BRIDAL VEIL seems capable of better.
Top Tip: Biker Babe (1)
Watch out for: Not Now Pussycat (4)
4 4:55 PM - itsarush.co.za Maiden Plate (F & M)
MOON IN JUNE was a bit unlucky last time. She should relish the trip but has drawn wide here. SILVER PRANCER has been useful in the maiden ranks. She keeps running well without winning and today could be her day. THREE SHIPS is knocking hard and runs well on turf and poly. Unfortunately she has drawn a bit wide. ELUSIVE DIVA is very costly to follow but is the one to catch.
Top Tip: Silver Prancer (1)
Watch out for: Elusive Diva (2)
5 5:30 PM - Racing. It's A Rush Mr 90 Handicap
WINTER'S COMING won even though having to switch and being baulked in running. In fact he won with something in hand and must have a big chance of following up. AMOR ADIENTE is proving a fruitful buy for his connections. He should be right there again. RYKER and BLACKBALL boast high merit ratings and weight. They should be taken lightly.
Top Tip: Blackball (1)
Watch out for: Ryker (2)
6 6:05 PM - Durban View Restaurant Mr 62 Handicap
HONEST PRINCE is knocking hard at the door. Can get it right for his second career win. CAPTAIN COBALT was hampered last time and still finished a neck behind. He has won over this longer trip so should have every chance. SENTIDO has been over-racing so this shorter trip looks ideal. He should be right there. LOTSA SILVER is better than his last run. More can score.
Top Tip: Sentido (3)
Watch out for: Captain Cobalt (4)
7 6:40 PM - Greyville Convention Centre Mr 62 Handicap
CANNES is a Highveld raider that shows good pace. With his 4kg claiming apprentice he could get away and score his poly debut. WAR TRUMPET didn't show much in his Barrier Trial but was racing after rest and should come on. He has drawn ideally. PETER PIPER has been racing in tough races and should enjoy this. But he jumps from a wide draw after rest. More can improve.
Top Tip: Hidden Influence (1)
Watch out for: Mighty Mercury (2)
8 7:20 PM - Call Telebet Track & Ball Fixed Odds On 031 314 1155 Qualified Maiden Plate
Nothing really stands out in the last, a maiden plate. AT THE OPERA showed fair form over further earlier. If he doesn't find this short he can do it. ALPHAMIKEFOXTROT has run well on the poly and could get a lucky break in this field today. LUCARA is having his 16th try but has finished second behind some useful sorts. FLEXIBLE FUGITIVE has done better in the past.

6 NYFW Trends We Saw On The Runway And Can't Wait To Wear
It's hard to believe that NYFW is over. As the weather cools down and people move their eyes towards London Fashion Week, fashionistas are reveling over all the soon to be Spring/Summer 2019 trends that we'll be seeing next year. To help you begin to think of pieces to add into your Fall wardrobe (that you can repurpose for Spring) and to keep you up to date on all that's on trend, we have how style is shifting for Spring/Summer 2019 based on what we saw on the runway in NYC.
New York City is a major hub for international travel and it showed during this NYFW. There was a noticeable island vibe that spread across the New York City runways as models strutted down the catwalk with pieces that were vibrant in color, bold in movement, and perfectly patterned.

Though infectiously upbeat, Herbs' music was always politically conscious. This funny and engaging documentary celebrates the iconic band in an emotional round of interviews, jams and memories, culminating in a moving reunion concert.

Because of the increasing accessibility in the social-media dominated and technologically-connected contemporary world, a novel power is placed in hands of everyday citizens. Knowledge, education, and information are literally only a click away. While these truths may seem obvious – even trite – what many individuals do not realize is that the converse is also true. International development and interconnectivity has not only led to ease of exploration of current knowledge, but also can aid the development of new knowledge, especially in science. This revolutionary movement, aptly coined "citizen science," represents the radical forefront of scientific research that inspires citizens to pursue science as a passion.
Consider these anecdotes: The eBird online community connects an international community passionate about bird-watching to submit more than five million observations every month. These observations will be later used in at least 90 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters about subjects from ornithology to statistical modeling. Zooniverse has empowered participants to categorize millions of astronomical and biological photos, later incorporated in over 50 peer-reviewed articles. Such statistics are immensely impressive even for a world-class professor, but to be attributed to the efforts of volunteers ranging from elementary school students to firefighters? Simply incredible.
But these mind-boggling results are only a small sample of what citizen science has done and the immense scientific potential it holds. From bird-watching to statistical analysis, citizen science truly epitomizes the notion of "power in numbers";taking a simple measurement or observation and compounding it among hundreds of thousands or even millions of dedicated volunteers results in efficiency of scale. And while it is true that individual scientists, college students, and trained researchers can perform these measurements perhaps with greater alacrity and accuracy, Donald Owen, an environmental protection specialist with the National Park Service (NPS), simply states, "We can't afford them." Citizen science allows these professionals to be replaced with impassioned amateurs who have the ability to gather data on a larger scale and longer time period, allowing researchers to more effectively focus their efforts in specialized fields.
Besides, citizen science has one extremely important added benefit for its participants that any other facet or alternative lacks: it encourages interest in science. The importance of science education in schools and early exposure to science remains a priority in cultivating future doctors, mathematicians, and engineers. While educators vehemently push for greater emphasis on STEM education, students would rather be in the field exploring local fauna instead of annotating another biology textbook. Because individuals who volunteer in studies often include science teachers with their students, science citizenship is the perfect opportunity for students to tangibly immerse themselves in the scientific method. They learn to question, to hypothesize, and to develop a scientific approach of thinking.
However, perhaps the primary concern many may ask about citizen science is: is it feasible? Can citizen science produce rigorous, defendable results similar to those duplicated by PhD's in the same field? And the answer is overwhelmingly yes. According to Brian Mitchell, an NPS ecologist who serves as program coordinator for the Northeast Temperate Network, citizen scientists can collect data that is as accurate, reliable, and usable as those generated by professional researchers. "If we explain to them what they should be doing and how to do it", states Mitchell, "Nothing we're doing is so difficult that volunteers can't do it if they are properly trained." This training is manifested in the form of carefully crafted, easy to understand instructions and online training videos and resources. Furthermore, addition "security" measures exist to attenuate variance among the data points. Thanks to citizen science, scientists have access to literally tens of thousands of data points for each statistic and are fully prepared to scrutinize data and remove egregious outliers from such a set. Finally, the ultimate measure of comparing the data collected by citizen scientists to those of university trained researchers ensures its success. Georgia Murray, an Appalachian Mountain Club staff scientist adds, "We pair-trained staff with our citizen scientists so we can compare data and determine its reliability." With these measures in place, it becomes obvious that citizen science is a legitimate media of producing rigorous, reliable science.
The scientific problems of today, whether it is climate change or mass extinction of species are global problems. And citizen science has immense potential to provide global solutions. Through incorporating thousands of everyday individuals, it can nurture early involvement in science while simultaneously making rigorous contributions to the scientific community. And at its essence, it allows everyday individuals to contribute their part in making the world a better place.
After all, isn't that what science is all about?

LAW firm Brodies saw both turnover and profitability increase by more than 10 per cent in the year to the end of April, with managing partner Nick Scott noting that clients had "been getting on with the day job" in spite of concerns over Brexit.
Turnover for the year was up by 12 per cent, from £68.6 million to £76.7m, while profits before partner distributions rose by 14%, from £32.9m to £37.4m.
"Trading was good, simply put," said Mr Scott. "Client activity was resilient across the whole of the firm and each practice area made progress.
"At each point when we thought clients might take a step back from investment decisions they carried on.
"That was the case fairly consistently throughout the year and because trading was good we could focus on investing in our business."
Most of that investment went on recruitment, with the firm adding several partners during the course of the year.
These included tax specialist Karen Davidson, who joined from accountancy business EY, as well as Aberdeen-based planning expert Elaine Farquharson-Black, who joined from Burness Paull. Brodies also promoted six new partners at the end of the financial year.
During the year the firm further increased its cash balance, with the sum rising by 11% to £21.8m. That means the firm's cash reserves are now seven times higher than they were a decade ago, when its bank balance was £3m.
"That's a function of us using cash as the predominant measure of business performance," Mr Scott said.
"WIP [work in progress] is okay, but cash is the thing that's the most important measure.
"It gives us the opportunity to make other business decisions if we want to."
While Mr Scott said the cash pot had not been built up in order to fund Brodies' move to new Edinburgh premises, he added that the firm would have to pay to fit out the Capital Square offices when it takes control of them next year.
"We'll get the space as a shell at the end of this financial year and we'll have to make decisions about how to fit it out," he said.
Other investments the firm has made include overhauling its practice management system and updating its branding. The firm plans to unveil its new brand in the coming weeks.

Author and missional practitioner Lance Ford will share insights and best practices of what it means to live out God's Kingdom in your neighborhood in this one day event. Every participant will receive the book Next Door As It Is In Heaven and a six-week small group study guide.
There was a time when neighbors knew each other's names, when small children and the old and infirmed alike had more than their families looking out for them. There was a time when our neighborhoods were our closest communities.
No more. Neighborhoods have become the place where nobody knows your name. Into this neighborhood crisis the words of Jesus still ring true: Second only to the command to love God is the command to "love your neighbor as yourself."
In Next Door as It Is in Heaven, Lance Ford and Brad Brisco offer principles and best practices to make our neighborhoods into places where compassion and care are once again part of the culture, where good news is once again more than words, and where the love of God can be once again rooted and established.
