Commission-free trading platform Robinhood is moving forward with its plans to go public by hiring a new chief financial officer from Amazon, according to Recode. Jason Warnick is leaving the internet giant, where he started working in 1999 when the company was just 5 years old. He was chief of staff to Amazon's CFO, Brian Olsavsky, and VP of finance.
Robinhood also announced the hiring of a new head of operations. Gretchen Howard will be a vice president at the startup, reports TechCrunch. She was a vice president at Fidelity Investments and then joined Google in 2006. Since 2014 she worked at Google's growth capital fund, CapitalG, financed by Google's parent company, Alphabet. CapitalG invested in Robinhood earlier this year.
"I've been inspired by the velocity with which Robinhood builds and launches high-quality products and share their passion for democratizing financial services," Howard said in a blog post. The firm built its own clearing system to replace services provided by Apex Clearing, but has experienced episodes of "Degraded Performance" as it transitions.
Robinhood said it has more than 6 million accounts and its latest fundraising round valued the company north of $5 billion.

Sperm are exceptionally good swimmers, and when they near the egg, they pull out all the stops, leaving nothing on the table. But new research shows that traditional herbal remedies may take the wind right out of their sails. For researchers, the chemicals responsible point the way to a promising contraceptive.
Polina Lishko and her colleagues from the University of California Berkeley tested the contraceptive action of two steroid-like chemicals from plants used in traditional medicines: pristimerin and lupeol. Pristimerin comes from a vine, known as "thunder god vine", and it appears in traditional Chinese medicines to treat arthritis. The other, lupeol, can be found in all sorts of fruits and vegetables and has been used in traditional medicines around to world as anti-cancer treatments.
Neither are deadly to sperm, but can still slow the gametes to a crawl. Lishko and her colleagues started their research by susssing out exactly how sperms lash their way toward an egg. They found that progesterone—a hormone secreted by cells surrounding eggs—opens the calcium ion channel and gives them the extra boost as they near the finish line. Other compounds, like testosterone, estrogen, and the stress-related hydrocortisone, can block the channel. Here's Beth Mole reporting for ArsTechnica:
In lab tests, the two [chemicals] didn't do much to sperm on their own—the sperm stay alive and motile. But, in the presence of progesterone, [they] prevented the ion channel from activating and powering the potent tail flicks. The sperm were left able to gently sway their tails and idly float around. But, they could not build up the speed and power needed to drill down into an egg's outer layers and fuse to the membrane—which is required for fertilization.
Since these chemicals are already used in traditional remedies, the researchers are hopeful they'll easily pass safety tests. And unlike other forms of birth control, which rely on hormones, they avoid unpleasant side-effects such as changes in mood, weight, and libido. But for now, these chemicals are still in the early testing phase, which means it'll be years before they appear in marketable products.

Throughout the Autumn term we have been increasing opportunities for the children to get active. More areas have been introduced on the playground for football, basketball, skipping and more. The children have enjoyed using the new outdoor resources purchased by Albany Parents Together to improve playtimes. We also aim for children to be outside playing every day unless the weather is too bad. Please ensure that your child has a coat as the children will still go outside in cold and damp weather.
All Foundation Phase pupils have also had tennis coaching sessions with coach Rhys from the Mackintosh Tennis Club. The link we have with the Mackintosh has seen many children attend coaching courses and become members over the past couple of years.

It's much appreciated .Eusabius
Hi, I'm new here and I'm not sure how things go, but I would like to ask the moderator Phil and member vauxonion about some posts they made on this thread on Aug 24 2011, regarding the street artist who worked in Eden Place in the 1950s and '60s. This man was my paternal Grandfather. I'm 54 now, and due mainly to the fact that my Mother took against him early on (his name was not to be mentioned in the house when I was growing up), I never met him (I was born around the time he died, I believe) and have never seen a photo of him. My parents have recently died, and I am now trying to find some information about Grandad.I only found out that he had worked as a street artist after I started doing the very same thing in my '20s! (I did a degree in Fine Art at university and am an artist). Reincarnation, perhaps . Strangely enough, the building where I did my art degree is the red Victorian building in Margaret Street at the other end of Eden Place, which is where I'm told Grandad sometimes sat. I could see his spot from my studio window! I also have vague memories of there having been a feature on him in the Birmingham Evening Mail (The Post, possibly?) sometime in the 1970s. Apparently it was a page featuring letters from people who remembered seeing him in the 50s & '60s and also featured an image - either a painting or a photo of him sitting in Eden Place with some of his paintings around him.If either of you could tell me anything else about him, or know of any one else who might know something, I would be very grateful. He has been shrouded in mystery, and I would like very much to bring him out of the shadows. Thanks.
What was his name Eusabius? (Not sure that it's in this thread.) I can do a search for that newspaper feature at least.
I see an item re Phyllis Nicklin on this morning's news. Red button video 'Then & Now' showed a few of her shots, which are now being exhibited. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-44873510

Spartacus Blood and Sand Episode 10 Review
By MaryD
Episode 10: Party Favors
The celebration of Numerius' 15th birthday brings about unexpected consequences as he is given liberty to control gladiators as if they were his own
Favourite quote: "You are an ass" - Mira to Spartacus
Wow. Batiatus has rocks in his head for allowing a 15 year old to have control of his gladiators! Just when I think the man is smart and ruthless, he does something so stupid, so idiotic. This was one of his idiotic moves.
Forcing a man to kill his only friend in the ludus; It's tantamount to signing all their death warrants. Make no mistake...Sparty is going to exact his revenge. I'm going to be cheering when he does.
I want to say I want Ilithyia's head. I'm not usually bloodthirsty nor wish any ill towards anyone normally but Illythia is not human. I would love Spartacus to do the honours...in the arena. I'll bring the popcorn.
I'm surprised at myself for writing that but this episode made me sad, mad and out for Ilithyia blood. The woman is devoid of any sense of humanity. Her hatred for Spartacus is so beyond reasonable. Sparty didn't even kill her husband and she's on a rampage. Goodness knows what she would have done if he got rid of the Legate.
This episode was supposed to make you feel. If you didn't feel anything then check if you have a heart or a pulse. I know Illythia doesn't. Going after a 15 year old boy to achieve her ultimate goal of hurting Spartacus is below par even for Illythia but that's where she ended up. Seducing a 15 year old boy...wow how desperate and utterly devoid of any morals is this woman! I don't blame the kid. Like any 15 year old, he didn't actually care; he got his birthday present a little early.
I ADORE Viva Bianca. I'm shocked that I had never seen her in anything before. She's an Aussie and yet has totally bypassed my attention. That's going to be corrected. Viva did an OUTSTANDING job. When a character makes you want to reach out and throttle them, then you know it's one hell of a great character. Kudos to Viva.
Away from Varro's death, we had Crixus continue his own hatred for Spartacus and he finally got lucky with Naevia. Naevia is one of my favourite characters and her relationship to Crixus is so beautifully handled. Crixus is still the big dumb gladiator but somehow Naevia mellows him just a little. One can hope that Ashur doesn't squeel like a pig and have them both killed.
That voyeur.. is he everywhere? Does he usually spy of couples? Is that his hobby? Barca and Pietros, Crixus and Naevia...doesn't the guy have anything else to do? What a weasel.
The ending was heartbreaking. Mira attending to Spartacus as he hurting was just heartbreaking. I think a tissue or two may have been needed after seeing this episode. Beautifully written, wonderfully acted.
I will miss Jai Courtney as Varro. He was one of my favourites.
I want Ilithyia's head. Make it happen, Spartacus.

It will not surprise anyone but in summer, it's hot! So in all logic we want to hydrate ourselves, that's why we prepared top 10 refreshing drinks. Maybe you will find your favorite drink and especially that it will give you inspiration to vary the pleasures !
TOP refreshing soft drinks
Refreshing drinks super healthy!
The detox water
This is the essential refreshing drink of the summer. This trendy beverage is one of the simplest and most popular ways to detoxify your body. Easy to make yourself, with water and fruit, this drink is rich in minerals and of course vitamins.
Iced coffee
For coffee lovers, it is still more pleasant to have this refreshing drink in summer. You will find with pleasure its hot version from the first frost returns. With its softer, more velvety taste, iced coffee becomes delicious in summer just by adding a few ice cubes.
Iced tea
As we have seen that tea has a lot of benefits, it is the same for iced tea, which has the advantage in summer to be cool. Healthy, gourmet and without calories, this refreshing drink with many variations can only be right for you! You can order it in a bar but do not hesitate to do it yourself. Iced tea is clearly our favorite of the TOP 10 refreshing drinks.
Gourmet refreshing drinks!
The milkshake
This gourmet milkshake is ideal for a break, it is as delicious as it is refreshing. With its smoothness, you will have the impression of sipping a cloud with fruits, syrups, ice creams … Whether you are more fond of vanilla, chocolate or fresh strawberries : you will only succumb!
The smoothie
By its creamy consistency, this drink is similar to a milkshake, however it is without milk or ice cream. The smoothie consists only of fruits or vegetables. Very rich in vitamins and flavors, if you like fruits, this refreshing drink is for you.
Here is a great classic of the TOP 10 refreshing drinks, which is drunk anytime, but of course in summer, it is particularly appreciated. Composed of lemon juice, sugar and sparkling water, it is eaten naturally with ice cubes or with a splash of syrup.
The last but not least. Granite, or granita, is the ideal choice if you're hesitating between an ice cream and a drink. Coming from Sicily and composed of crushed ice flavored with a syrup, you will not find cooler!
TOP refreshing drinks with alcohol
The sangria
Typical of Portugal and Spain, this cocktail has the air of Latin dance. This refreshing drink is based on citrus, fruit, sparkling water and an alcohol such as Porto, then to let all the aromas released, it must let macerate for at least two days.
The spritz
Here's another great classic of refreshing beverages: this Italian aperitif, more specifically from Venice, is a cocktail mixing sparkling white wine (take some Prosecco) with a little soda water, and an alcohol like the Campari or Aperol. Add a slice of lemon or an olive to complete this cocktail.
The mojito
To finish our top 10 refreshing drinks, here is a cocktail made in Cuba composed of rum, soda, lime, mint and crushed ice. To enjoy in a bar or on your terrace, give your aperitif a holiday atmosphere. If you love the taste and want to consume this refreshing drink without moderation, choose the "virgin" mojito.
Cheers, Fuzzy!

History comes to life through sharp and striking images. Rating: 3 stars out of 4.
Movie review
Tick tock. Tick tock.
America is going to the moon in "Apollo 11."
Assembled from NASA archival footage by director Todd Douglas Miller and his production team, this documentary about humankind's first landing on the lunar surface on July 20,1969, is a step-by-step, at times minute-by-minute, recounting of the Apollo 11 mission.
Tick tock. Tick tock.

It starts with the slow journey via a huge crawler/transporter vehicle of the Saturn V rocket to the launchpad at Florida's Kennedy Space Center on July 16, 1969, and ends with astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins back on Earth and hailed throughout the world as heroes after their splashdown in the Pacific on July 24.
This is a just-the-facts-ma'am depiction of the mission. Personal backgrounds about the astronauts are limited to a brief montage of snapshots — family photos and other archival still pictures — flicking by on the screen. There are no interviews with the men or anyone in Mission Control. Most of the soundtrack consists of scratchy NASA audio of radio communications between Mission Control and the spacecraft and between the astronauts themselves. Everyone is all business.
For viewers wishing for an up-close-and-personal depiction of the event, may I suggest watching "First Man."
This is no narration as such, other than sound clips of Walter Cronkite and an anonymous NASA spokesman speaking from Mission Control recounting what is happening as it's happening. Some historical context is provided via radio-broadcast snippets reporting on the Vietnam War and the Chappaquiddick incident involving Sen. Ted Kennedy, happening contemporaneously with the moon mission.
Fifty years on — 50 years! — there is not much in the way of anything new presented in the movie. We've seen it before. We've heard it before. However, a lot of the footage found by Miller is large-format 70mm NASA film taken in the control room and on the beach where hordes of spectators gathered to watch the launch. Other footage has been digitally cleaned up so overall the familiar images are sharp and striking.
This is not to say that what we see and hear in "Apollo 11 is not compelling. This is history brought to life, something absolutely unprecedented in the annals of humankind.
Tension is conveyed in the footage of the controllers peering intently into the screens at their Mission Control consoles during critical junctures of the flight. The relief and pride on Earth, when the landing is successful and Armstrong and Aldrin step onto the moon, is palpable. Old Glory is joyously waved in the Control Room, and there is ample footage of the deployment of the flag on the lunar surface by the astronauts (a lack that earned "First Man" some criticism at the time of its release last year).
Even 50 years later, this is history that never gets old.
★★★ "Apollo 11," a documentary directed by Todd Douglas Miller. 93 minutes. Rated G. Opens March 1 at multiple theaters.

On-Demand Webinars Datacenter Madness Webinar Series: Part 2
Application Acceleration: RDBMS vs. NoSQL & Separate Virtualization Stack vs. Integrated Hypervisors
Discussion with Independent IT experts Mike Matchett and David Klee from the ActualTech Media 'Datacenter Madness' Webinar Series:
RDBMS vs. NoSQL:
How will enterprise applications evolve and what type of databases will hold the PBs of data generated in the coming years? Will RDBMS continue to rule the DC, or will the challenger NoSQL be the new king?
Virtualization Throwdown:
Now that the market has embraced virtualization as the norm for practically all workloads in the datacenter, does it make sense for applications and VMs to run on a separately deployed virtualization stack? Or has the hypervisor become another integrated feature?

Schools are not under a duty "to safeguard children against harm in all circumstances"
A Judge who said, "such things happen", has overturned a compensation award to nine-year Lewis Pierce who injured his thumb at school.
West Sussex County Council were sued on behalf of Lewis Pierce in 2009 after he injured his thumb at St Andrews' School in Nuthurst, Horsham.
Lady Justice Sharp said Lewis, then 9, was sprayed with water by his brother George, then 7, from a newly installed water fountain. Lewis then tried to punch George who dodged his brother's blow, resulting in Lewis punching the underside of the water fountain bowl instead.
Lewis sustained injuries to his tendon, which was repaired under general anaesthetic.
Last November, District Judge Gamba ruled the authority was liable for damages and awarded Lewis £3,215. The District Judge ruled that the school had not "considered what risk the water fountain might pose to children".
The Court of Appeal overturned this decision and ruled that schools 'cannot be expected to be hazard-free zones where children are protected from possible injuries'.
West Sussex County Council described the ruling as "a victory for common sense".

Don't Forget that Iowa Landlord's Lien
Last fall, we fielded a number of calls at the Center from Iowa landlords whose tenants failed to make their rental payments on time. In most of these cases, the tenant was offered the right to make the yearly payment in two installments, one at the beginning of the lease term and the other six months later. It was the September payments these tenants failed to make, and the landlords were wondering about their legal rights. In some cases, their rights were minimal because they had failed to perfect a landlord's lien.
The next several weeks present an open window during which landlords can protect their rights in the unfortunate event their tenants default. After March 20, this window closes.
Iowa Code § 570.1 provides that a landlord shall have a lien for the rent upon all crops grown upon the leased premises. This means that a lien automatically attaches to the farm products grown on the property. The landlord has a lien. This does not mean, however, that the lien is perfected. Only a perfected landlord's lien is prioritized ahead of other creditors.
In order to perfect a lien in farm products (making it enforceable as against other creditors), a landlord must file a financing statement with the Iowa Secretary of State. This is required by Iowa Code §554.9308(2).
Unperfected liens have little value.Perfected liens, however, are powerful. A perfected landlord's lien puts the landlord in a position better than that of many other earlier perfected creditors, such as an agricultural supply dealer or a bank with an operating loan.
To perfect a landlord's lien, a landlord must take the following steps:
- File standard financing statement (UCC-1) with the Secretary of State within 20 days of the tenant taking possession (by March 20). Instructions for filing this form can be found here.
- The statement must say that it's "for the purpose of perfecting a landlord's lien."
Although a perfected lien does not guarantee that a landlord will recover his payment due (bankruptcy, for example, can throw a wrench into the recovery), it does provide the maximum legal protection available. And at $10 (the cost of filing the UCC-1), that's a pretty wise investment.

Christine & Tod were married in the LDS temple in Draper, Utah on a beautiful summer day. After some family, bridal party, and couple photos we headed over to the Riverside Country Club in Provo, Utah for their reception.
Utah Wedding Photographer | Southern California Wedding Photography
Christine & Tod were married in the LDS temple in Draper, Utah on a beautiful summer day. After some family, bridal party, and couple photos we headed over to the Riverside Country Club in Provo, Utah for their reception.
Christine & Todd wanted the Ashton Gardens at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi ,Utah for their first look. This is one of my favorite locations to shoot at in Utah County, especially for spring and summer weddings and portrait sessions. They were just adorable and I loved driving around in the golf cart with them. So glad I got to be their photographer.
I was so happy to be a part of this wedding for Adrie and Alex. First off, they were so adorable and fun. Secondly, I loved their Alice in Wonderland theme and all their Disney touches. Adrie use to play Tinkerbell at Disney World, their first dance and the engraving on their rings was "Once Upon A Dream" from Sleeping Beauty, she styled her hair like Elsa from Frozen. The Bungalow in Pleasant Grove, Utah was the perfect outdoor venue for them. It was just so picture perfect!
Lauren & Mark live up here in Utah like me but they wanted a San Diego wedding, and I was happy to oblige! We spent a few minutes at the San Diego LDS Temple and then headed down to La Jolla Cove and it was beautiful! They had their reception in a tent put on the grounds at their local church.
It's always fun to meet my neighbors! I'm from Rancho Cucamonga, Ca and when Sarah first reached out to me for their destination wedding here in Utah, I found out that they were from Montclair, Ca! How fun! They knew of Utah's beauty and that their money can go a lot further here than in the Golden State, so they planned their destination wedding. We started the day getting ready at her sister's home out in Eagle Mountain, and spent the rest of the day at the fantastic Gardens at Dry Creek in Lehi, Ut. It was a gorgeous day filled with family, friends, love, and sunshine. That dress, made by a family friend! WOW! As you can see, I loved every detail that Sarah planned. As soon as they got back from their honeymoon I received this email: "OMG!!! I can not say thank you enough for literally making our wedding day so fun for us! Seriously you don't even know how many of our guest complimented you! And said holy crap your photographer was not only amazing but so entergetic and positive and lovely ! Thank you so much for that! With all the drama of the other vendors we were so happy to have you as our sunshine that day ❤ so needless to say! We are dying to see the photos! But patiently waiting! what's the best way for me to tell everyone to hire you?? I want every bride to feel like you made me feel on their wedding!" Thanks for the kind words guys. I loved working with you!

Program on Ethics, Compliance & Inclusion
Director: Veronica Root Martinez
Lawyers are constantly asked to advise their organizational clients when discriminatory, illegal, or inappropriate conduct is suspected or detected within their ranks. Lawyers are asked to investigate claims, provide advice on how to respond to alleged misconduct, and assist their clients in charting a way forward. The study of law often focuses on reactionary responses, but lawyers must also develop prospective strategies for their organizational clients so that dysfunctions within firms are properly deterred and prevented. The research focused on and supported by the Program on Ethics, Compliance & Inclusion will address these issues, so that Notre Dame Law students and alumni are equipped to counsel their clients in a sophisticated and effective manner.
Director Statement on 2020-2021 Initiatives Addressing Diversity & Inclusion
Notre Dame Law School's Program on Ethics, Compliance & Inclusion provides opportunities for faculty, students, and alumni of the University of Notre Dame to research, investigate, and discuss scholarship that will support the creation of more ethical, compliant, and inclusive organizations.
The primary purpose of the program is to aid in efforts to restore the dignity of work within organizations, which is eroded when misconduct occurs. Today's populace spends the majority of their time in their workplaces. Indeed, many workers spend more time with their colleagues than their families. As a result, many individuals begin to develop a strong sense of identity that is inextricably tied to their work. This is true whether the person is employed as a janitor, a general counsel, or a chief executive officer.
For people to live full, happy, and productive lives, their workplaces, just like their homes, must be structured in ways that allow them to thrive. Over the past decade, however, instances of misconduct within organizations have revealed the devastating impacts a dysfunctional workplace can have on worker well-being. Whether it is a culture plagued with rampant sexual harassment or an institution that pressures its workers to engage in fraudulent behavior, when workers are not treated as whole beings with inherent dignity it diminishes their sense of self, their sense of worth, and their ability to engage in work with dignity and grace.
The Program on Ethics, Compliance & Inclusion supports research that critically examines significant instances of immoral behavior, misconduct, and discrimination within organizations for the purpose of producing tangible steps that organizations can take to prevent similar future behavior. The program brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines to analyze incidents of organizational misconduct and to develop strategies and solutions aimed at encouraging the creation of ethical, compliant, and inclusive workplace environments. By capitalizing on the expertise of scholars from diverse fields, the root cause of organizational misconduct will be more fully investigated and assessed, which will, hopefully, allow for the development of more effective recommendations and strategies for reform.
Academic Roundtables
A key part of the Program on Ethics, Compliance & Inclusion are academic roundtables. These roundtables allows scholars from across the nation to come together to discuss issues related to inclusion, compliance, and ethics. Each roundtable focuses on a particular theme. Thus, each year brings together a new set of scholars to begin or continue scholarly conversations with one another. These roundtables are also open to interested students.
Speaker Series
The Program on Ethics, Compliance & Inclusion hosts a lunchtime speaker series for students to hear from academics and practitioners working in the areas of inclusion, compliance, and ethics. The lunchtime series enables students to learn about compliance while connecting with University of Notre Dame alumni and others working in the areas of inclusion, compliance, and ethics.
Smith-Doheny Legal Ethics Writing Competition
The Program on Ethics, Compliance, & Inclusion oversees the Smith-Doheny Legal Ethics writing competition sponsored by Notre Dame Law School. Any current student at an American or Canadian law school may submit an essay (minimum of ten pages and maximum of fifty pages) on any legal ethics topic. Through the generosity of the Smith-Doheny family, each year an annual prize of $2,500 is awarded to the best essay. Please see law.nd.edu/smith-doheny for more information. The 2020 award winners have been announced. A full list of past winners is also available here.
Courses in Compliance
A number of courses offered at Notre Dame Law School can prepare you for a career in compliance. See a list of possible courses here.

Johannes Brahms is a firm favourite of all three. They have recorded the complete Brahms trios together, and the three piano quartets with the viola player, Gérard Caussé. Here cellist and pianist play Brahms's two cello sonatas - No.1 in E minor and No.2 in F major - works written twenty years apart that exemplify the composer's lyricism and romanticism. Although both works centre on the cellist, the pianist is more of a partner than an accompanist, creating a striking musical dialogue.
Each half of the programme begins with a composer that had a major influence on Brahms. First Beethoven, whom Brahms revered above all others. The Variations in E flat major - based on a theme from Mozart's Magic Flute - are Beethoven at his most playful and inventive. The second half opens with Schumann's lyrical and lively Drei Fantasiestücke, originally written for clarinet and piano.

Useful Guidance For Looking After Your Home's Roof
Nobody likes to see great lengths to care for their house. It could be a chore, so you hold back until the very last minute to do specific things. However, maintaining the roof is one thing you simply can't neglect! The roofing keeps rain, snow, and in many cases animals from entering into your home. It is important that you continue it from the best condition possible. This short article will reveal to you how.
If you want to replace shingles, usually do not wait. Neglecting small issues can spiral into bigger issues down the road. Caring for difficulties with the shingles immediately will help you to save more money and lots of problems later on. Your roof may last longer if it is maintained well.
Always make safety your first priority in terms of fixing your roof. Do not try to repair a leaky roof once the weather is stormy or you could be seriously hurt! Damaged roofs are unstable during rainy weather, so will not take this kind of risk.
Stick a bucket beneath your leak when you wait for weather to return to normal. Afterwards, you should check out your homes roof and see what it'll choose to adopt to fix things.
Think about the climate in your area when replacing your roof. When your climate is dry, clay roofs are a great option because of the ability to cool a house. However, using clay tiles with a roof in a wetter, rainy climate can result in quicker deterioration of these tiles. If you're uncertain, ask.
If you're working on a leak, do it properly at the first try. In the event you detect the problematic area, don't stop there. Check across the whole roof so that you can determine if there are more things that you're going to need to look after.
In case you are on the receiving end of high pressure sales tactics, politely decline. These salesmen are merely inside it for that profit.
Never pay for the full price at the start. It is possible to pay about 25% to start out the work, but avoid paying more than that. You want to avoid having them conduct a low-quality job or under whatever they were supposed to.
If you select a roofer who uses employees, you will get an improved deal than when the roofer works alone. A team could work quicker as well as the price could be more affordable, too. Weigh out the pros and cons of every contractor being a worker carrying out work alone may charge you more.
Have you been environmentally conscious and seeking a brand new roof? If you have, consider a living roof. Living roofs are composed of layers of soil and provide space for gardeninghttp://www.youtube.com/embed/9QSaY1mXRK8&t=9s Even though it only works well in good climates and so on a roof that's flat, it's a great type of insulation too.
As mentioned previously, properly preserving your roof is not particularly fun. However, it's essential that you do it. Use the things which you may have read here to assist you to take on just about any roofing issue that could occur. A little bit more effort used initially pays off well in the long run..

Portrait of a young girl
It's a picture of me modeling one of my mom's quilted jackets. I remember reading the book,"A Winter's Tale" where Beverly and Peter Lake are having their portrait painted. Years later, Peter (who then has amnesia) sees the painting and the past is restored to him. As my mom took the picture, I was thinking of Burt, my high school boyfriend. How I'd see him later that night. It was summer and we'd probably listen to my crappy music tapes on the Radio Shack tape deck my dad installed in my mom's 1972 Toyota Corolla. Maybe we'd end up at the beach at Northwestern or the lighthouse. Or we'd just cruise. And while Burt is long gone, I have nice memories captured in a portrait.

'The Woman in the Window' with Amy Adams Pushed to 2020 After Test Screenings Confused Audiences
Posted on Wednesday, July 10th, 2019 by Ethan Anderton
Disney is still sifting through the movies they acquired in the purchase of 20th Century Fox. While some projects, like Wes Ball's adaptation of the fantasy adventure The Mouse Guard, have been set aside by the House of Mouse, others are in the midst of moving towards a release. However, one of those projects need to be retooled a bit before it's ready for audiences.
The Woman in the Window is an adaptation of A.J. Finn's best-selling novel of the same name that Fox 2000 had been working on before Disney bought Fox. The film is an adult thriller directed by Joe Wright (Atonement) and starring Amy Adams that had been positioned as a possible awards contender with a release set for this fall. But apparently early test screenings confused audiences too much, and now the movie will undergo reshoots to make the central mystery easier to understand. But that means Fox/Disney have opted to delay The Woman in the Window until 2020. Read More »

The Stewards authorised the following substitutions of riders at this meeting:R. Loughran replaced I.J. McCarthy on Art Of Synergy, trained by Ms. Sandra Hughes (Race 2)(Stewards' Permission)
058A Irish Stallion Farms EBF (M) M'dn H'dle
B.T. O'Connell, rider of Palm Sur, trained by J.R. Barry, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount finished distressed.058B Annual Family Day 17th May M'dn H'dle
C.D. Maxwell, rider of Attenzione trained by S. Donohoe, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount made a respiratory noise in-running and pulled up.058C Follow Navan On Twitter H'cap H'dle
The Stewards received a report from Mr. W. Fleming , Turf Club Clerk of the Scales, regarding the fact that M.P. Flanagan , rider of Stoughan Cross , weighed in at 1.7 lbs overweight. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned, who stated that he had had a small drink and an orange after weighing-out which may have accounted for the extra weight on weighing-in. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that M. P. Flanagan was in breach of Rule 231 and they therefore suspended him for one race day.
The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Smoking Big Cigars (GB), ridden by R.P. McNamara, and trained by Ms. Sandra Hughes. Evidence was heard from the rider and trainer concerned. R.P. McNamara, stated that he had ridden this horse in exercise at home and the trainer left the instructions largely up to himself. He felt the pace was too fast early given the going and he didn't go after them. On the turn leaving the backstraight he was forced to check wide and shuffled back. He squeezed his mount all the way home from there and there was little response. He felt the horse wants better ground and possibly a further trip in time. He felt he obtained his best possible placing. Ms. Sandra Hughes, stated that she didn't tie the rider down to specific instructions as he knew the horse. She stated that she was worried about the ground today and felt that the horse merely passed tired horses in the straight. She expressed herself satisfied with the ride and expected she would probably put the horse away for the season now. The Stewards also received a report from the Turf Club Veterinary Officer who stated that the horse returned with a badly grazed left hind cannon bone and that the horse also coughed a few times post race. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards noted the explanations offered.058F Navan Members H'cap H'dle
The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined Best Of Three (GB), trained by T.M. Walsh, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be clinically normal post race.
The Stewards interviewed D.J. Howard, rider of Duty Dance, concerning his use of the whip in closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards found D. J. Howard in breach of Regulation 10 3. (e) by using the whip other than down the shoulder or on the hind quarters and Regulation 10 4. by failing to give his mount time to respond to the whip and having taken his record into account suspended him for two race days.
Liam P Cusack, trainer of Roman General, reported to the Office of the Governing Bodies on Monday 30th March that his charge pulled up as he didnt handle the ground.

Tesla Inc. (TSLA - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter 2017 results after the market closes on Aug 2. Last quarter, this electric car maker saw an earnings miss of 194.03%.
In the trailing four quarters, the company beat estimates in one quarter and missed the same in the remaining three, resulting in an average negative earnings surprise of 29.89%.
Let us see, how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Tesla Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Factors Influencing this Quarter
Tesla is actively undertaking mergers and acquisitions to meet its targets and expand its business. The company completed the acquisition of Grohmann Engineering and expects it to play an integral role in helping it reach its increased production capacity goals. Further, the company believes that the acquisition of SolarCity will increase manufacturing efficiency and lower customer acquisition costs.
The company is actively undertaking international expansion. It plans to add almost 100 retail, delivery and service locations globally, thus representing a 30% increase in facilities in 2017. To deal with the shortage of lithium-ion batteries, Tesla is building a Gigafactory in Nevada to produce the batteries in collaboration with various partners, including Panasonic.
It is also working toward expanding its product portfolio to boost sales.
However, Tesla is facing opposition to its direct-selling model in some U.S. states, namely, Texas, Arizona, Michigan and West Virginia that have banned the direct sales of vehicles by any automaker. Limited demand for electric cars, low number of charging stations and the company's inability to generate profit are a few other concerns that it has been facing.
Earnings Whispers
Our proven model does not conclusively show whether Tesla is likely to beat or miss estimates this quarter. This is because a stock needs to have both a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) for this to happen. This is not the case here, as you will see below:
Zacks ESP: Tesla has an Earnings ESP of -18.5% as the Most Accurate estimate of a loss of $2.37 is wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $2. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they're reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Zacks Rank: Tesla carries a Zacks Rank #3, which increases the predictive power of ESP. However, the company's negative ESP makes surprise prediction difficult.
We caution against the Sell-rated stocks (#4 or 5) going into the earnings announcement, especially when the company is seeing negative estimate revisions.
Price Performance
Tesla's stock has surged 33.4% in the last six months, thereby substantially outperforming the 4.9% gain of the industry it belongs to.
Stocks to Consider
Some better-ranked companies you may want to consider with the right combination of elements to come up with an earnings beat this quarter, per our model are as follows:
Cummins Inc. (CMI - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +3.10% and carries a Zacks Rank #2. The company is expected to report second-quarter 2017 results on Aug 1. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Westlake Chemical Corporation (WLK - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +5.04% and carries a Zacks Rank #2. Its second-quarter 2017 financial results are expected to release on Aug 3.
Horizon Global Corporation (HZN - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +2.99% and carries a Zacks Rank #3. The company's second-quarter 2017 financial results are expected to release on Aug 1.
The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.

Adam Scott isn't traditionally sexy. That said, I find him absolutely adorable. Sadly, I had no idea that the first project I remember seeing him in is Piranha though I must have seen him in his tv appearances and just don't remember. I really liked him in Friends with Kids and have been absolutely obsessed with him in Parks and Recreation. I just got to the point in the series where he made his first appearance and am flying through the next season where he was made a series regular. Do not confuse him with golfer Adam Scott - though that Adam Scott is also kind of attractive. See below:

These first four layouts were all created with the new line from AMERICAN CRAFTS by Vicki Boutin, Wildflowers & Honey. I love the versatility of this line...just look at how different all these layouts are in theme and style. There is nothing better than a collection that provides different papers that can be fussy cut. This creates custom embellishments ... and provides an opportunity to customize them to fit individual styles. One thing that helps the fussy cutting to look more polished is adding black edges. It makes them POP off the page! I like to use a Sharpee to do this.
Layout #1
Layout #2
Layout #3
Layout #4
Layout #5 is a mismatch of paper lines from my stash of hoarded favorites. I created the ALOHA cut file and wanted to share it with you! It is Silhouette file, please use with my permission! I'd love to see what you create with it!

For the past two years, SynchroniCity has steadily worked towards putting together the pieces to create an effective single market for city data and services across Europe and beyond. As the businesses that joined us through our Open Call get ready to take full advantage of the groundwork set by SynchroniCity, it is the turn of the cities to share their road so far, and their ambitions for the road ahead towards a global IoT market.
Under the theme of "Making Agile The New Stable", the Connected Smart Cities & Communities Conference (CSCC19) sets the stage for city-led innovation activities to transition from ideas to the effective implementation of smart city technological standards. This is why Porto and Helsinki – 2 of the 8 Core Pilot Cities co-creating and implementing SynchroniCity's framework – will be opening the conference alongside Roberto Viola, Director General of Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT) at the European Commission. Anni Sinnemäki, Deputy Mayor for Urban Environment for the City of Helsinki; and Filipe Araújo, Vice-Mayor for Innovation for the City of Porto will address the opening plenary by discussing how open standards and minimal interoperability mechanisms support cities, communities and businesses alike to create an open and global smart city market based on cities' needs.
Organised by Open & Agile Smart Cities, a network connecting more than 120 cities on three continents, CSCC19 contributes to the debate on standards and interoperability for Smart Cities through its dedicated Tech track. Looking at interoperability mechanisms in practice and emerging standards & mechanisms, experts from SynchroniCity, such as José Gato, from ATOS; Rick Schager, from the City of Eindhoven; and Juanjo Hierro from FIWARE foundation, among others will help guide cities and businesses in their transformation.

Reviews summary
3 Traveller reviews from Holiday Watchdog
I believe Thomson have taken this hotel ...
"I believe Thomson have taken this hotel out of their brochure now and I can understand why! We have mixed views... The hotel was basic and the staff wonderful but it was grubby and we did have cockroaches in our room on 3 occasions. The food was plentiful but not much choice. On the first day my son cut himself on broken tiles in the pool which meant we had to go to a chemist every day to get it dressed. In Sousse itself we felt very safe the men look but they are not intimidating at all...you do get hassled by taxi drivers every 2 minutes asking do you need a ride but a no and a smile does the trick. The shops are a different story...there is no pleasure browsing because the of the constant harassment, If they only realised they would sell much more by letting people browse! The fixed price shops are great though and we picked up a lot of nice things. We only went for 1 week so we didn't do the Sahara trip but we did do the Camel Caravan and it was great...Highly recommended by us all. We would go again because we feel there is so much more to see and do but next time we would stay in a different hotel."

The Hill Diar is a family run hotel which has, regrettably, been allowed to deteriorate. The second time I visited, as soon as the staff saw me enter the reception came out to greet me, remembering me from the previous year. This has set the tone for subsequent visits. Not only that, there has been a crowd from the UK, Germany, Sweden and Holland who all congregated around the same time each year. Sadly, over the years, although the bedrooms have been re-furbished, the bathrooms have not, the furnishings in the lounge and reception areas are very outdated, and dare I say, rather tatty. The food also went down hill, but I still went because of the atmosphere and friendliness and seen how, a guest in trouble, either medically or criminally has had 100% support. The Hill Diar closed last November for updating and was scheduled to re-open in April but I have heard nothing."

We found the hotel to be below average. ...
"We found the hotel to be below average. The rooms were small and not very clean. On 3 occasions we found cockroaches in our room and countless ones in the corridor outside our room. The grounds outside were absolutely crawling with them! On the first visit to the pool my son cut his hand open on a broken tile of which there was many. The pool attendant poured iodine over it but for the rest of our holiday we had to go to a pharmacy every day to get it cleaned and dressed! The beach was beautiful...clean pale sand and turquoise sea but beware the beach sellers who harass you to buy their cheap tacky goods every 5 minutes. Even when I pretended to be asleep they wouldnât give up! We went half board and on the whole the food was okay. Always hot and quite good choice...the service was excellent. We tipped our waiter a couple of diners at every meal( about 90p) and he looked after us really well he arranged a big flower display on our table on our last night. In fact all the staff were friendly and helpful which made a bad holiday bearable. I believe Thomson have taken this hotel out of next years brochure which doesnât surprise me at all! I would describe Sousse as bustling...the people seem friendly but the shop and stall owners are a pain in the backside ..they constantly harass you and try to pull you into their shops. They donât give up! We ended up doing most of our shopping in fixed price shops...much less stressful. Walking down the street you are stopped every 2 minutes by taxies asking do you want a ride. We used the noddy train a lot and that was fun. To sum it up. Donât go to Sousse expecting Spain but its good if you want something different...just choose to stay in a different hotel!"

Parents and guardians of students in grades 6, 7 and 8 – the Elmira Chicken Orders Pickup Date is Wednesday, March 25th from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the front foyer of the school.
Thank you for your generous support, DGH community, of students selling these chicken products. All of the profits raised by individual students stay with that student and go towards their year-end trip. For some of our students this represents a major portion of their end of the year trip cost.
Unfortunately, do we not have freezer space at the school to store the chicken. If you are unable to do the pickup on that date, please make arrangements for a relative or family friend to do so.
As always, thanks to Ms. Graham for organizing this fundraising. She organizes it from start to finish (from booking the fundraiser to overseeing the distribution of the chicken on March 25th).

Factors To Consider When Selecting Experts To Look After You Commercial Refrigeration System.
Though complex by having many components and parts, refrigerators are essential not only in our residential set-up but also in the commercial setup where they are used to maintain favorable temperatures for highly perishable products. However, commercial refrigeration will involve dealing with compressors, condensers, complex configurations and piping and experts only better handle such a system. If there is one helpful decision that you can make and ensure that you have refrigerators functional at all times, it is the decision to have regular maintenance and checkups done by experts, and such a decision works to ensure that your system is durable. In the long run, the decision to hire specialists to offer maintenance services will prove beneficial to the company as having the systems functional keeps the business from making losses. The task of deciding the best expert to look after the HVAC and the refrigeration system in your company might prove to be a daunting one but here are points to help you make the best decision about the best specialist to hire.
If you aren't sure about the best specialist to maintain the refrigeration system in your company, find a company which offers a full maintenance strategy. The main reason why one needs to have the systems maintained by the expert is to extend the lifespan of the refrigeration system and also eliminate the occurrence of regular breakdowns. Before you can hire a particular company and task them with maintenance of your refrigeration system, you need to make sure that they will provide a maintenance plan and they are also capable of handling warranty work. Another task that is left in the hand of the maintenance specialists is testing and monitoring every part of the system to enhance efficiency. It is only through a comprehensive maintenance schedule that one can find small problems before they develop into significant breakdowns and have them solved.
When you are selecting experts to maintain your commercial refrigeration system, you will also need to check and ensure that the experts are trained, experienced and skilled. It is the desire of any business owner to have experts in hand to solve any issues that arise about the system immediately and correctly. No any problem is too small to be overlooked as such small problems will lead to major breakdowns. It is thus essential that a refrigeration system expert that you select brings along skills and experience when handling the refrigeration system. The best refrigeration experts will also stay up to date with the latest technology as well as techniques through regular training.

Experience based Learning
Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory defines experiential learning as "the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience. Knowledge results from the combination of grasping and transforming experience."
In order to gain genuine knowledge from an experience:
- The learner must be willing to be actively involved in the experience.
- The learner must be able to reflect on the experience.
- The learner must possess and use analytical skills to conceptualize the experience.
- The learner must possess decision making and problem solving skills in order to use the new ideas gained from the experience.
Experience based learning is a powerful way to address individual growth and potential, considering that it is adaptable for individual style, preferences or strengths.
