Personality: Robert M. Lester
Spotlight on president of Club 533
2/14/2020, 6 a.m.
An invitation from a friend and fraternity brother brought Robert M. Lester to Club 533 in 2012, offering him the opportunity to meet and listen to members from across decades.
That night sparked Mr. Lester's interest and desire to be a part of the club, now 64 years old, that still brings together men of accomplishment dedicated to improving the social and civic welfare of the community.
"I knew that I wanted to be a part of the camaraderie, unity and wisdom that was in the room," Mr. Lester says. "I wanted to play a part in making new stories with these gentlemen."
Now, eight years later, Mr. Lester is stepping into a new role — as the 32nd president of Club 533.
Elected to a two-year term just two weeks ago, the Penn- sylvania native already is developing strategies for his administration. He has served in the past on various committees and was vice president for three years.
Because of those years of dedication, balanced alongside his career and other volunteer work, Mr. Lester has earned a great deal of trust from club members; he was unopposed for president.
"Nobody put their name in against mine," Mr. Lester says, remarking that some members were calling him president as far back as six months. "I've been working very, very hard in the club."
Club 533 began in 1956, the brainchild of seven African-American men with similar interests and ideas for improving the social, political and economic status of Richmond's African-American community. They recognized the need for a venue that would allow people to gather and plan.
The club has always been located in Jackson Ward. It was located on 2nd Street for decades before moving to its current home at 3rd and Jackson streets in 1999.
Currently 160 members strong, the club has served as a meeting space for groups and organizations ranging from the Richmond Branch NAACP to the Richmond Crusade for Voters.
Mr. Lester is seeking to ensure the club's continued vitality and presence, in part by expanding on the club's various community initiatives, from Thanksgiving baskets and scholarships for those in need to potentially educating the public ahead of the November presidential election.
Mr. Lester also wants to highlight the heritage and history of the club, which boasts a membership that includes Virginia Union University Athletic Director Joe Taylor and former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, among many others. The late Raymond H. Boone, founder of the Richmond Free Press, also was a member.
"We have been fortunate to have the 'Who's Who' of Richmond as the groundwork for our heritage," Mr. Lester says. "On any given evening, you can speak freely with a former governor, former sheriff, captain in the police department, educator or engineer."
The biggest focus for Mr. Lester' s administration is growing the club's membership, with a specific goal of bringing in younger members. Currently, the average member is older than 60.
"My goal is 40 new members in the next two years," says Mr. Lester. "I've already committed to getting 10 myself. We've got to keep the club alive."

DALLAS, February 21, 2017 – Academic Partnerships today announced the appointment of Dan Branch to its Board of Directors. Branch, a prominent Texas political leader, attorney and advocate for advancing the state's colleges and universities, is a former Chairman of the Committee on Higher Education in the Texas House of Representatives.
Branch's extensive career in legal and public affairs work includes his current service as a Commissioner on the Education Commission of the States and six terms in the Texas Legislature. During his tenure in the Texas House from 2003 to 2015, Branch was a leading advocate of numerous education reforms and was recognized by Texas Monthly among its "Ten Best Legislators."
As a legislator, Branch led a number of select and joint oversight committees on public and higher education reform in addition to serving on the House Appropriations Subcommittee for Education and the Public Education Committee. As Higher Education Committee chair, he authored landmark legislation encouraging lower college tuition and increased graduation rates, reforming the Top 10 Percent college admissions law, creating the UNT Dallas College of Law and advancing graduate medical education in Texas. In 2009, his signature House Bill 51, known as the "Tier One" law, set the framework for creating more national research universities in Texas.
"I am grateful to join the Board of Directors of Academic Partnerships, a company with a proven track record of expanding access to high-quality and affordable higher education, which not only has significant positive implications for its university partner's students, but also our workforce," said Branch. Randy Best, founder of Academic Partnerships and Chairman of the Board, remarked, "Dan's deep understanding of pressing matters affecting higher education as well as his demonstrated commitment to advancing important causes in the post-secondary space will offer our Board an insightful perspective."
Branch, a former law clerk to Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Jack Pope, is a shareholder at Winstead PC and serves as a Distinguished Guest Lecturer in Higher Education Policy at the SMU Simmons School of Education & Human Development. In addition, Branch serves as board chair of the SMU Tower Center for Political Studies, trustee of The Fund for American Studies in Washington, D.C., and board member of the Texas State History Museum Foundation and Texas Department of Public Safety Foundation.
Branch received his J.D. degree from SMU Law School, received a B.A. and B.S. with highest honors from Oklahoma Christian University and studied at the Institute of Comparative Political & Economic Systems at Georgetown University.

Nigeria's aviation industry has the potential to contribute four per cent to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from the paltry 0.1 per cent it currently remits to the Federation account.
President, Aviation Round Table (ART), Dr. Gabriel Olowo, disclosed this to Naija247news at the weekend in Lagos.
He lamented the lack of patronage of airlines by many Nigerians, noting that less than 10 per cent of the 200 million people take to air travel, describing it as not impressive.
He cited smaller countries such as United Arab Emirates and Singapore, which are far less the size of Lagos State recording over 50 million passengers because of the deliberate policies to make their airports hub of aviation.
He recalled that in 2015, the Aviation industry supported 254,500 jobs and contributed $940 million (N184.7 billion) to national GDP.
He said of this sum, 49 per cent ($462 million or N90.8 billion) was a direct output of the aviation sector, while 51 per cent constituted indirect jobs via the supply chain.
His words: "Hostile investment environment and the absence of industry developmental policies, among other challenges, the airlines are in dire strait. The Nigerian airspace presents itself as a shorter route for aircraft traveling to the American continent from Asia."
It is often the bride of most international airlines. However, Nigeria aviation sector is full of bottlenecks and delays that are designed to exploit and strangle the growth of the industry.
Olowo stated that additional $464 million (N91.2 billion) is derived from tourism, which raises the overall contribution to $1.4 billion (N275.9 billion), stressing that in 2010, total 8.3 million passengers contributed 0.4 per cent.
He noted that the carriers are bedevilled by high cost of aviation fuel otherwise known as JET A1; high and multiple taxes, ageing fleet and underutilisation of aircraft among others.
He said that most airline operators in Nigeria spent about 40 per cent of their operation costs on aviation fuel, adding that sometimes it goes beyond 40 per cent.
The Federal Government could intervene in the issue by reviving the Warri refinery, Atlas Cove and Mosemi pipelines –hydrant system used to supply aviation fuel.
Operators argued that the pipelines that supplied aviation fuel to the airport before it was shut down by the late General Sani Abacha-led military regime in January 1996, were fully functional.

If you're a current user of Gmail Meter, you are might know that this month we got a bit more practice apologizing than we anticipated, and if you've contacted us about the error messages, you'll know that these messages that a good portion of you have received are almost completely out of our control.
That may not seem like the best response to these inquiries, so I wanted to take some extra time to explain what exactly is going on here.
Google Apps Script and Gmail Meter
The current version of Gmail Meter is built off of the Apps Script platform, which is a scripting language maintained by Google designed to let a user to integrate different Google Apps services together. Basically, it lets the various Google services talk to each other much better, which is obviously helpful for the end user.
With Gmail Meter, a user's Gmail usage data is collected and compiled within that user's Drive storage, making Google Apps Script the ideal language to build the initial version of our tool. Beyond being hosted within Google's App Script architecture, which requires very little in terms of setup from our end, another added benefit is the simplicity of moving a user's data from one Google service to another.
This platform has served us well for a number of years, but we have realized a few limitations in the last couple of months. Instead of going into detail about every minor limitation, I want to focus only on the major problem, which is that Apps Script is hosted on proprietary Google Apps Script machines as opposed to the standard Google Compute Engine machines. While this simplifies many maintenance and backend operational needs, this also sacrifices a lot of fine grain control. Without that control, we are unable to provide you with the best user experience possible.
So what does this have to do with the error messages?
Over the course of the last few of months, we noticed a significant increase in the number of users who reported receiving some kind of timeout error. Typically, the email would include a message along the lines of "Exceeded maximum execution," which in layman's terms means that the Gmail Meter script took so long to run that the server killed the script.
Unsure of the reason for the sudden jump in these error messages, we spent some time investigating what could be causing our script to timeout. After review, we realized that there was a major flaw in how we had programmed the script to be run. The Gmail Meter script is programmed to turn on once a day for each user, but due to an oversight, every user's script was set to run within the same 30 minute period every day.
Obviously with thousands - tens of thousands, actually - of scripts running simultaneously, some timeout errors are to be expected. The decision to optimize was made quickly.
We created an algorithm that spaces out the running of the script for our users throughout a 24 hour period. Instead of having a maximum of fifteen thousand scripts running at the same time, all users were spaced out evenly throughout the day, with only a maximum 200 or so scripts running simultaneously within the same minute.
After implementing this load balance, we saw way more support tickets reporting this error message than ever before because this is how software development works.
Having no clue what we did wrong and after spending another countless number of hours investigating, we finally came across this known Google Apps Script issue. It's difficult to explain the strange combination of emotions we felt when we first saw this. There's the relief knowing that we hadn't done anything wrong coupled with the helplessness knowing that there's a systemic issue within the platform that we've built our product out of.
We're not the only company that has experienced this issue, nor is Gmail Meter the only application that is currently affected. We've reported our experiences within that open ticket, and have also exchanged emails directly with Google employees about the specifics of the issue.
Unfortunately, even though there have been many reports of the same error, the only definitive answer we've received from Google is that they are still unable to replicate this issue.
Looking forward to a new Gmail Meter
With that said, we did ultimately implement a workaround to prevent these error messages from being triggered. Unfortunately, the only way to do so was to slow down the script and severely limit how fast it processes through emails. To be clear, we're talking about reducing the speed by a factor of a quarter of what it was a couple months ago.
It should be no surprise to anyone then that we have since made the decision to move Gmail Meter off of its current Apps Script platform. While this unfortunately means that we will provide less technical support for this legacy version of our tool, this does mean that we will be bringing you a much better version of our Gmail analytics tool much quicker than previously planned.
As always, please feel free to subscribe below or follow us on Twitter to stay up to date on our development progress, and please don't be shy about emailing us with questions or concerns using our firstname.lastname@example.com address.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to the next update!

This is my 39th post in a series of monthly features that I have dubbed "Best of My Blog Roll." The concept is simple – at the end of a month I peruse my own blog roll (see that column on the right) for material created by other bloggers that I think is most worthy of sharing with others, and then I report on it here.
Reviewing blog posts for the month of February 2016, I have chosen to highlight the following :
- A thought-provoking post on Adam Smith, Esq. entitled "How the Mighty Fall," which questions whether big law firms – as an industry – are going through the five stages of decline from once-mighty status, as described by Stanford business professor and author James Collins. If true, it is possible that most firms are still stuck in the denial stage of the decline of "big law".
- A post by Gerry Riskin about a "virtual legal assistant" known as KIM (knowledge, information, and meaning), a technological cousin of IBM Einstein, that is now helping GCs in Canada to instantaneously manage, filter and analyze knowledge in contracts and other legal documents on command. It is interesting that sales of the product are targeted only at GCs, presumably because market research showed no interest among law firms (still in denial).
- A post by Craig Brown at LawVision, which provides a wonderful anecdote about the power of story in sales. Based on Craig's post, I am wondering if more firms should be telling stories – short but inspiring and compelling stories – to demonstrate what they have to sell. Might be better than sharing lists of awards or self-laudatory hyperbole (as one client said to me, "when a firm tells me they are 'best in breed' I think of them as dogs."
- A post by Bonnie Kittle on the Clockwork Design Group blog, which is entitled, "Where to Find Great Stock Photos." The Clockwork blog always has great practical, useful tips on design and content.

Back to the stage ... Lauryn Hill performing in New York in February 2014. Photograph: Don Emmert/AFP/Getty Images
Lauryn Hill has announced a one-of London show, which will be only her second British appearance in five years. She will play at Brixton Academy on Saturday 20 September.
After gaining initial fame with the Fugees, Hill became a solo star with her influential album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in 1998, which remains her only studio album. However, a dispute over proper credits for the album between Hill and the New Ark team of musicians and producers who worked on the record - which was settled out of court - led Hill to withdraw from the music industry and, increasingly, from society. On those occasions she did play, she developed a reputation for being unpredictable - sometimes taking to the stage two hours late - and a Fugees reunion in 2005 broke down before any new material could be recorded. Her last UK appearance was at the Indigo2 in London in April 2012.
Last year she served a three-month prison sentence for tax evasion. She told the court: "I am a child of former slaves who had a system imposed on them. I had an economic system imposed on me." However, in 2013 she also released Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix), her first official single in more than 10 years, and completed another single, Consumerism, while she was in prison.
Tickets for the Brixton show go on sale on Friday 2 May, priced from £42.50 to £85.00, plus booking fee.

Where I see myself in the design industry:
Expression through design is an incredible thing. It surrounds us in conscious and unconscious ways; it influences our emotions and inspires us in everyday life. I find it exciting to be at the beginning of my career in such a diverse and stimulating practice as Interior Design.
Throughout my studies, I have found a strong interest in Commercial Design. I particularly enjoy the variety and challenges that can be found in both Hospitality and Office projects. It is a goal of mine to gain as much industry experience and knowledge as possible to work with and alongside designers within the Commercial Design field.

I was recently asked to contribute my top tendering tips for BT's Upload magazine on an article entitled Winning the Big Contracts.
Top Tendering Tips
1. Be selective
Only go for the tenders you're likely to win. Tendering is time-consuming – better to spend time searching for 'best fits' than waste time tendering for contracts you'll never win.
2. Be prepared
Spend time standardising all your policies – health and safety, quality, insurances, accounts, etc. – and have them all available electronically.
3. Choose a team
Tendering is not a one-man job. Involve key players, administrators and management personnel, and consider using external 'resources', including consultants.
4. Assess their needs
Think about the buyer and their needs. That's the key to a winning pitch!
5. Answer the question
Don't fudge it – a poor answer may hold back your bid. But do be honest… you will be found out if you lie.
6. Get the facts
Keep in touch with the buyer. Ask questions if you feel you need more information.
If you want to improve your tender success, contact us for an informal discussion about our bid management and training services.
7. Ask for feedback
Whether you win or lose, constructive feedback will make the next bid easier.
I'm sure you could add a few more tendering tips…

Just because you start a family, it doesn't mean you can't keep a modern home with pristine collections and expensive gadgets. It's important to expose your children to art and culture in the home. So, consider ways to make your home open, fresh and inviting for children, while maintaining its architectural style. Express your individual personality in a few of the rooms while creating a more collective family environment in other rooms. Read on for more family-friendly tips to help you decorate your home and yard to inspire art and reading.
Frame Your Child's Masterpieces
One creative idea is to inspire art and reading is to set up a wall in the family room or a playroom for chalk drawings. The board, which can easily take up one entire wall, gives children an acceptable place to draw. Some people hire professional artists to draw murals that incorporate a few of the child's doodles. It's also smart to frame your children's art projects to use as art throughout your home.
Use Outdoor Accessories Inside Your House
Another great way to survive the years of small children and pets is to use outdoor rugs and outdoor drapes indoors. Many outdoor rugs are great for high traffic areas. In keeping with the same thinking, choose durable materials and sturdy furniture.
Outdoor items can inspire art and reading while keeping your home clean and tidy. Most outdoor furnishings come with washable, stain-proof fabrics, too. And while you're checking out the garden, set up a reading and play area nearby with small furniture for children, too.
Paint with Lots of Color
Although some parents choose pink for girls and blue for boys, focus more on vibrant colors. Yellow often warms up a cold space, especially in the winter. Consider playful wall coverings with child-friendly themes that inspire art and reading. Avoid decorating with too many stereotypical "girl" themes such as the helpless princess themes. Instead, encourage intelligence and imagination.
Fill a bookshelf with classic children's books that are age-appropriate. Even though many children use technology, holding an old-fashioned book is still the best way to encourage reading. When decorating, display some of the best-illustrated books as art.
In Conclusion
When decorating a child-friendly home, it's fun to create magical rooms where children dream, learn and play. So, keep your child's room organized with plenty of closet space and drawers for putting away toys. Add a comfortable couch, chair or beanbag for them to sit and read or just use their imagination. It's easy to inspire art and reading with these simple tips.

Why Rangers signing Matt Polster would be a good move
According to a report in Sky Sports, Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has revealed that the club is close to signing USA international midfielder Matt Polster, who currently plies his trade in the MLS with Chicago Fire.
The player impressed in the trial with the Gers and the manager confirmed that they were in talks over a long-term deal for the 25-year-old. Polster is a versatile player who can play in the midfield as well as at right-back (h/t Sky Sports).
Here's why Rangers are right in signing him on a long-term deal during this month's transfer window:
The Gers could enhance their chances this season
As of now, the situation with Rangers is that they are pretty much involved in the title race and have a good chance to make a deep run in the Scottish Cup.
They are out of the Europa League, hence, in a way, it could be a blessing as the Thursday-Sunday cycle isn't a favourite among the football fraternity in Europe.
Thus, if they play well in the cup games and keep the pressure on Celtic at the top of the table, the Gers could still win the double. However, that dream still has a long way to go and they might enhance their chances by signing American international Matt Polster.
Having played over 80 games for the Chicago Fire, the 25-year-old has the required experience of the game at the highest level. He has scored three goals and supplied six assists in his time in the MLS so far. He was the finalist in the Rookie of the Year Award back in 2015.
With the departure of Ovie Ejaria, Rangers would do with a new midfielder. Polster's versatility means that the manager can use him in the midfield as well as at full-back.
This is where the importance of the player arises, as he can be a utility asset in the squad with an ability to impact games by playing different roles in a game.

James Tavernier has been a regular at right-back but with the American international in the squad, he could get some more competition for places. All in all, this would be a fantastic move for the Gers, who will have to play out of their skins for the next four months of this season to have a chance of winning the title.

Defining comics
Look at the image above. Why would most people, if prompted, call it a comic? (in this case, a comic strip)?
Arguably, because it contains the following elements, which many comic scholars generally agree are constitutive of the medium:
- Dominance of visual over verbal information
We are generally alerted to the fact that we might be looking at a comic strip by the presence of pictures that mix verbal and visual information, with more of the latter.
Comic scholar David Kunzle talks of comics as, in general, presenting "a preponderance of image over text".
Of course, it's not always the case. Some experimental comics are entirely made up of text; other comics, as we'll see later, are all pictures. This one, in fact, has no words - just punctuation…
- Several pictures
Comics are comprised of several pictures (we generally call them panels - we'll get to that in a next step), placed close enough to each other that they can be processed together.
One of the problems with this definition is that it seems to rule out one-panel cartoons as comics. We could say that one-panel cartoons share many of their formal and stylistic features with comics, and thus belong to the same family. They certainly require very similar literacy skills and many scholars don't make a distinction between comics and cartoons.
- Sequentiality
Sequentiality is perhaps the most important defining feature of comics.
When the reader looks at the different pictures one after the other, they should make up a narrative; a story. To that aim, the pictures are arranged as a sequence.
Will Eisner, a famous comic artist and scholar, defined comics simply as 'sequential art.'
The sequence, importantly, implies the passing of time. We truly become readers of comics when we being to understand that some time has passed between one picture and the next.
The great comics scholar and artist Scott McCloud provides the following definition:
- "Comics are juxtaposed pictorial and other images in a deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or produce an aesthetic response in the viewer."
By saying that the sequence is deliberate, McCloud hints at the intentionality behind the comic: the creator. But of course, the order s/he wants the pictures to be read can always be transgressed by the reader…
The three features above are the most-frequently found in definitions of comics as a medium. There are other clues, however, that you might have picked up on, which traditionally indicate that we might be dealing with comics of a certain tradition. They are comic conventions.
- Speech and thought bubbles
In the above strip, it contains an ellipsis. As readers of comics, we know from the shape that it is a thought bubble - nothing instinctive about that, of course; it is a symbolic convention we've learned.
Speech and thought bubbles are perhaps the most recognisable convention of comic art, although they are not necessary for a strip to be considered a comic.
- Conventional symbols
The lightbulb is a typical convention of visual culture in the West, symbolising the birth of an idea. Comics often use conventional symbols to express emotions or thoughts in a visual way, and the use of the 'lightbulb moment' here, while by no means specific to comics, gives a clue that we might be dealing with that medium.
- Drawing style
Comics are a medium, not a genre, nor a style. That means that they are recognisable because of the way they tell stories, not because of the type of stories they tell, nor because of their aesthetics.
Think about comics as you would film. Within the film medium, you can have rom-coms, superhero movies, pirate stories, psychological thrillers, etc. Those are genres. So comics, like films or novels, can present romances, long postmodern meditations, biographies, space operas or detective stories.
Similarly, just like films can be in black and white, animated, in one take, highly stylised, in Technicolor, or shot with just a handheld cameraphone, comics come in many different styles and graphic identities. Black and white or colour, photorealism or stick figures, square panels or daring angles… There is no such thing as a 'comic style' of drawing.
However, it is true that what is sometimes known as a 'cartoonish' style - as with the image above - directly alerts us to the fact that a sequence of images might be a comic. By cartoonish we can mean exaggerated features, simplified or flattened surfaces, bold colours, and a sketch-like approach to backgrounds. This style can be thought of as neighbour to that of traditional political caricature and many instances of children's illustration.
While such style is by no means constitutive of comics as a medium, it can provide an important visual clue to contemporary readers that they could consider switching to 'comic-reading' mode. In other words, it activates specific reflexes of an individual's comics literacy.

Overhauling your dated bathroom for a luxurious, peaceful oasis of your dreams is exciting for any homeowner. However, once the day to plan finally arrives, it's important to consider all of your options before making any quick decisions. Here are a few practical ideas to consider before committing to a bathroom remodel design, ensuring that you end up with all the upgrades and amenities you desire.
To Tub or Not to Tub
Some people might think opting out of a spacious tub is unthinkable, but others simply don't have time for one. Therefore, it pays to determine whether or not you'll fully have time to commit to installing a brand new tub. If you spend a few days a week soaking, then absolutely go for it. If you go months without even glancing in your bathtub's direction, perhaps it will be more useful to use the space for something more practical for your personal lifestyle.
Enhance Your Shower With Endless Amenities
Stepping into the shower is a common chore for us all, so why not make the experience consistently enjoyable when your shower is decked out with modern amenities? Whether you choose a multi-colored rain shower head, a functional seat for resting or a few safety bars for convenience, experts in bathroom remodeling Lake County IL can equip you with all the bathroom upgrades you could ever want.
Anything Goes With Modern Vanities
Depending on your needs, modern vanity options these days are designed to meet any buyer's wishes. Go for a higher vanity so your countertop is at a more comfortable height, or choose to create an entire sitting vanity space for putting on makeup and performing other grooming tasks.
Before making any final decisions with your bathroom remodel, keep these practical ideas in mind and guarantee yourself the superior bathroom oasis you've been waiting for years to obtain.

School district looking to fill open principal positions
With the departure of principal Troy Fisher planned for the end of the school year, Mabel Rush Elementary School is seeking a new principal for 2019-2020. The job was posted on the Newberg School District website and is open to apply.
Fisher has accepted the principal job at Joseph Gale Elementary School in Forest Grove. While he said he is excited for the next chapter in his career, he values the time he spent as a principal in Newberg at both Antonia Crater and Mabel RusH elementary schools.
"They are an amazing group of folks," Fisher said. "The staff here is unbelievably supportive and they are working like crazy for kids. Their hearts are all in the right spot and the parents are always stepping up."
Fisher plans to keep his kids in the Newberg School District despite his new job. He said the close-knit nature of the community is a big reason why.
His advice for the next principal to take on the job at Mabel Rush is to build a network of allies in the staff toward building a better school. Ultimately, he said, it is about making the best experience for the kids.
"You need a willingness to collaborate, be a servant leader and be a relational person," Fisher said. "For me, at least, everything stems from building positive relationships. Building those allows everyone to have a common vision."
The school district outlined its requirements and qualifications for the Mabel Rush position in a job posting, available at www.newberg.k12.or.us.
Candidates need an Oregon administrative license (or eligibility for one) along with a master's degree in education, five years teaching experience and – preferably – previous administrative experience in education. The job will begin in the late summer once Fisher departs for Forest Grove.
Mabel Rush isn't the only school in the area seeking a principal. Newberg High is looking to fill its principal position on a permanent basis and that process is much further along.
The search is underway and led by a committee of parents, teacher and classified representatives, and administrators, according to the district. Last week, the committee reviewed candidates who have already applied and decided whom to interview, with the interviews taking place March 7.
An announcement on the permanent NHS principal is expected Friday, after the new superintendent has a chance to interview top candidates. Information will be posted on the district website and on its Facebook page.

The basic idea I agree is, any hard limit is undesirable. It should be dynamically adaptive according the system situation.

Passion ring pink gold, black gold and...
541,67 €
"I have often suffered, I have sometimes been mistaken, but I have loved. "
This quote from Georges Sand echoes the theme passion, a tribute to lovers.
The longue pike, which is present on some of the pieces, mingles with a little cross or a worked pattern that reminds the gothic architecture.
The two-coloured rings create a contrast : on one, the pink gold is brightened up by the black gold, and on the other, it is softened by the white gold.

ANCHORAGE (Reuters) - A corroded pipeline ruptured on Christmas Day at ConocoPhillips' Kuparuk oil field in Alaska, causing one of the biggest-ever spills of oil-laced water on the North Slope, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) said on Tuesday.
The 94,920-gallon spill from a corroded water-injection pipeline had little effect on production from North America's second-biggest field and was mostly cleaned up by Tuesday, department officials said.
One well was shut in after the spill was discovered, said Ed Meggert, the Fairbanks-based on-scene spill response coordinator for the DEC.
"It remains shut in, and the repairs aren't done yet," he said.
The Kuparuk field can produce nearly 150,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
The December 25 incident was reminiscent of a 200,000-gallon crude oil spill at BP Plc's nearby Prudhoe Bay oil field in 2006 -- the worst oil spill on Alaska's North Slope -- which was also caused by corrosion of a pipeline.
Cleanup was largely accomplished by removing contaminated snow and ConocoPhillips took the leaky pipeline out of service to replace it, said Paul Lhotka, an environmental program specialist with the DEC.
A ConocoPhillips official was not available to comment.
"It was lightly misted produced water and it was only on the surface, and it did not penetrate the snow cover," Lhotka said. Had the spilled material touched the tundra, it could have required a more complex cleanup, he said.
Salty produced water can be toxic to tundra plants and cause long-lasting environmental damage.
The Kuparuk oil field was the site of a much smaller corrosion-caused spill of oil, gas and other fluids about a year ago, according to state records.
The Kuparuk field is North America's second largest, after Prudhoe Bay. ConocoPhillips is the operator and majority owner. BP has a 39 percent ownership share; Exxon Mobil and Chevron own minor shares.
A much smaller spill also occurred this week at BP's Milne Point field elsewhere on the North Slope.
The Milne Point spill was discovered Monday, the DEC said. About 6,300 gallons of a produced water-crude oil mixture spilled because of an overflow of a sand slurry tank at the field's central facility pad, the department said.
BP spokesman Steve Rinehart said Tuesday there was no impact to production at Milne Point.
The spill was entirely contained on the gravel pad, Lhotka said.

This is the most popular grape to be grown in Spain, and a central part of the country's best red wines. Around 183,500 hectares of Tempranillo were growing across Spain in 2004. It is most famously used in the Rioja blend, alongside Garnacha/Grenache, Mazuelo/Carignan, Graciano and Viura. Today, it features in vineyards across almost all Spanish regions. There has been a recent surge in Tempranillo growth and consumption across the world, but it is thought to have first been introduced to the Iberian Peninsula by the Phoenicians. The name comes from the Spanish word temprano, which means "early". This is due to the grape's early ripening, which takes place several weeks before grapes with which it is often blended, for example, Garnacha/Grenache.
Tempranillo often has notes of strawberries, leather and tobacco, but much of its characteristics come from the management of its yields and the vinification process. Until recently, it was generally made with oak barrels, but producers have since moved away from this method so as to encourage the natural characteristics to come to prominence.

What a somber word, November.
November is the month when daylight becomes more and more limited, clocks get set back to save daylight (which sounds like an oxymoron), and the frost becomes a regular greeting for the days counting up to winter. Yet, why do we call this month November?
Out of curiosity, I did a little research and found out that November (from the Latin novem, which means "nine") was once the ninth month of the Roman calendar. The name carried over to the Julian and Gregorian Calendars as the eleventh month (somebody can't do the math?)
November has 30 days, along with three other months, April, June, and September (far warmer months).
In the USA, we have Election Day and November 11 is Veterans Day – but it's also Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth of Nations and various European countries (including France and Belgium) to commemorate World War I and other wars.
November brings with it a couple of other celebrations: Thanksgiving Day, which is quickly followed by Advent for Western Christians–and the advent of Black Friday and Cyber Monday (for shoppers looking for Christmas gifts).
As for writers, November is NATIONAL WRITING MONTH, and the great NaNoWriMo is now underway. Did you know this annual event began in 1999? In 2014, there were 325,142 participants and more than 250 NaNoWriMo novels have been traditionally published. (That's a lot of words!)
November might be a month of foreboding that winter and it's gloomy chill is coming, but for a few hundred thousand writers, there's warmth and joy in putting down 50,000 words during NaNoWriMo.
May all who participate in that challenge meet their writing goals!

Despite land values doubling in A'Beckett Street since 2012, the density of proposed replacement towers is substantially shrinking.
In a show of this boom's pace and power, the new owner of a 724-square-metre block at 48-50 A'Beckett Street has applied to build a 56-level apartment tower with 329 flats and just eight car parks.
The application comes two years after the owner of an 1896-square-metre block at nearby 127-141 A'Beckett Street received approval for a then "landmark" skyscraper rising 63 levels and including 632 flats.
Last year, Singapore developer Aspial Corporation applied to build an 81-level, 750-unit building (with 126 car parks) on a 1250-square-metre site at 54-64 A'Beckett Street.
A few months ago, a 1741-square-metre block at 111-125 A'Beckett Street was sold to a developer for $38 million after last exchanging in 2012 for $19 million.
The applicant for 48-50 A'Beckett Street, a local consortium, paid $9.2 million for the battleaxe-shaped site in late 2012. A year earlier, the land was approved for a 39-level tower. In 2010, the City of Melbourne approved an 18-level building for the block after previously rejecting a 45-level proposal.
Despite the latest proposal being at the application stage, the developer is marketing flats within the 48-50 A'Beckett Street complex. At present, the property accommodates a low-rise office occupied by construction group Probuild and, prior to that, the Carrick Institute of Education.
the format of the plans below suggests a Hayball design?

Rhode Island is a small state. We all know the old joke that Rhode Islanders don't like to travel more than five miles from their home town.
But here at Tranquility Day Spa RI we find that people come from all over the state to see us.
While many of our day spa customers live right here in Wickford, North Kingstown, East Greenwich and Jamestown, we have many clients from other local areas including Exeter, Coventry, Warwick, Saunderstown, Newport, South Kingstown, Narragansett and even Cranston and Providence.
There are lots of day spas in RI, but there's a reason people come from all over the state to see us. It's because of the personalized spa services you simply cannot get at the larger chain type spas.
In fact, people come from as far away as Massachusetts and Connecticut to get services here at Tranquility Day Spa. The best way to understand why they come from miles away to, is to read some of their comments below…
I have been to this spa many times since being introduced to Beth, the therapist. Recently, I experienced the Rain Drop Therapy, as well as the Stone Therapy Massage. Both treatments were wonderful and utterly relaxing. What makes Beth and her treatments so unique relative to other therapist's offerings of the same services, is her ability to personalize your treatment to your needs. Her techniques are not "out of the box/book" but rather cued by her clients needs at the time of treatment and her amazing ability to skillfully recognize them! Beth is truly a gifted therapist.
Last Thursday my friend and I went to Tranquility Day Spa for the Raindrop massage and a collagen facial. We were there for 5 hours. The experience was excellent. The spa is very clean and comfortable and without distractions. All phone calls go to the answering service so Beth can concentrate on YOU during your visit. My friend and I are definitely planning on going back. We have finally found what we were looking for! Thank You Beth.
Finally!! I have found the spa setting I have always dreamed of. Having a pedicure, facial, or any number of wonderful services is so much more relaxing when you have the entire salon to yourself. Beth has created a peaceful escape where you definitely feel pampered and attended to! The products she uses are absolutely wonderful. I have been completely impressed with every aspect of this spa and now I truly look forward to my next appointment! Peace, quiet...Tranquility! - Michelle Zubee Charlestown, RI
"I have been a faithful customer of this lovely day spa for 5 years now and am more delighted with it each time I go. Elizabeth Denbow provides head-to-toe services with a smile and the type of warmth that make you feel like you are at a friend's house visiting. I always leave there feeling revived, renewed and rejuvenated and can't wait for my next appointment."
So if you live in Warwick and you're looking for a relaxing body treatment, or you hail from NK or EG and you need an hour at the spa, and LED facial or a reiki treatment, you can count on Tranquility Day Spa RI.
Whether you are looking for a quick facial, hot stone therapy or a day package that last four hours, or even a reiki certification class we make sure it's worth the short drive from your town to lovely Wickford Village. Just look at the views here!
Oh, by the way, we also sell gift certificates all over the world.
If you know someone who lives in Rhode Island and you want to give them a gift they will never forget, why not treat them to a reiki session, a hot stone therapy session or a LED Revitalight facial.
With our instant gift cart you can print or email a personalized gift certificate right now. Or you can choose to have us mail it for you with a personal note.
It's easy, fast, and a gift they'll always remember.Buy Now

Kaws Hints at BFF Vinyl (Open Edition) With Medicom Toy
Kaws recently dropped a few hints to an upcoming collaboration with Medicom Toy on his Instagram account that had collectors going in a frenzy. His first post had the caption: "Receiving samples is a great way to start the week! New project later this year with @momastore #KAWS #BFF #MedicomToy".
The box clearly displays "KAWS BFF OPEN EDITION MOMA", which proves a few things: his next toy release will be of his BFF design, and will be an open edition release, meaning it allows Medicom Toy the ability to produce as many units as they desire. This held true to his other releases (Kaws Companion Blush Regular + Flayed) from this earlier this year that were also an open edition production run.
A few days later Kaws posted a follow up pic with his good friend Pharrell Williams, known for his I Am Other Brand, sitting behind the BFF pieces! The previous renditions of his BFF designs were plushes so it's good to see the same designs finally released in a vinyl form in both black and blue colors.
No information or date has been officially released but it's safe to say that the first release will be through the MOMA Store, with the possible release through other stores. Follow us on Instagram and Twitter for updates and release information as it develops.
Check out our Medicom Toy page and follow our Toy News section for regular updates on upcoming releases.

Bombay Calling
Most of us would never want to work at a call centre, but in many parts of the world this outsourced occupation is offering new hope for youth who have the ability to speak English. Offering up to 10,000 rupees a month ($300 Canadian), it's a tough and competitive occupation. If you miss a day you'll be fined (never mind one's wife is giving birth) and if you don't make a sale you'll be standing up until you can close one.
Bombay Calling, which played today at Toronto's Hot Docs festival, gives us a window into the world of Indian youth living the good life. With what we would consider a meagre salary, they can offer their parents their own apartment, eat out every day and party 'til dawn. Beyond that, Bombay Calling seeks to point out the parallel between increased prosperity in India and the westernization of this large nation; interviews are conducted outside call centres at Pizza Hut, while Nescafe and Coca-Cola ads dot the cityscape. We all know it's inevitable, with globalization and free trade companies can jump across borders and find new markets. Realisticaslly, this documentary shows us that this movement works both ways, and it appears to be a win-win situation.
Bombay Calling was produced by the National Film Board of Canada and has been acquired by National Geographic.

A collaboration agreement has been signed at the Spanish Navy's Headquarters between the Ministries of Defense and of Science, Innovation and Universities to establish a protocol for the use, support, management and exploitation of the oceanographic research ship 'Hespérides' in the field of scientific research, carried out mainly within the framework of the projects approved by the State Plan for R&D and by the Framework Program of the European Union (EU).
The agreement was signed by Admiral General Teodoro López Calderón, Chief of Staff of the Spanish Navy and Mr. Rafael Rodrigo Montero, General Secretary for the Coordination of Scientific Policy of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.
This four-year agreement may be extended by mutual consent of the Ministries for a period of up to four additional years.
Oceanographic vessels are indispensable technical platforms to conduct advanced scientific and international multidisciplinary projects in the field of marine research. Vessels of oceanic and polar capability require extremely complex management and close coordination to ensure maximum performance and adequate availability for the scientific community.
Likewise, a favorable regulatory framework is established for the promotion of scientific and technical research in order to contribute to the generation, dissemination and transfer of expertise and know-how to solve the essential environmental problems of society. The fundamental object of these scientific activities is the promotion of research, experimental development and innovation as elements on which sustainable economic development and social welfare must be established.

Watchman's Cry
Ezekiel 33:1-8. Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, speak to the children of that people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: 3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; 4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning, his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. 6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. 7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. 8 When I say unto the wicked, oh wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
My son, I have set you as a Watchman to the nations, and your voice is My Voice. I have said to warn the Body of the coming judgments, and you did, but very few heard. I have told you to warn My Body of the coming war and captivity, and you did, but very few heard. I am now telling you, I am coming, get ready, and you have, but still, very few heard and even fewer believed.
Thus saith the Lord, Time is out! I am coming now, be ready! This world is going to enter into a period where time will mean nothing. All that will matter is – How will I survive? My People do not know how to depend on Me for everything, but they will, or they will perish. The man they thought would make everything great again has brought judgment to them.
My son, My Watchmen have been crying the warnings only to be mocked and ridiculed in public. When the judgments begin in earnest, the people will remember the words of My Watchmen who have been warning for 70 years. My son, you may continue to warn, but alas, no one will hear. Many, many of My People have been lulled into sleep believing the false prophets, the Hannaniahs of the day, just as in times past. My People's necks are now stiffened, and only judgments will bring them to repentance. My son, there are no more words of gloom and doom, there are words of judgment. Judgment leads to revival and repentance. Repentance leads to joy unspeakable and holiness.
My son, all the Remnant are under heavy attack by the enemy, but the enemy is using those whose eyes are blinded by deceiving spirits, those who call themselves by My Name. Did I not tell you and warn you in My Word that this would happen in the last days? I love you, My son, for the battle is just beginning, and many battles lie ahead.

Recent reviews
Exceptional 9.4 From 77 reviews
the location is perfect, staff is great, breakfest is more than enough, room was clean with enough size,
The room was very updated and had a great bathroom. The A/C worked great which seems like an impossible thing to find in Europe. The staff was very friendly and the helped us with knowing where to go for sight seeing and food. The location is great and close to all of the historical areas you would want to see. There is also a laundry facility (unrelated to the hotel) across the street which was nice since we wanted to wash some clothing while on our trip. Overall, great hotel!
For a visit to Zagreb this hotel is located on the best possible spot, close to the main square, market place Dolac, the Cathedral with fountain and the funicular to the old town and Governmental centre.. Good parkingplace and a very helpful staff speaking their languages.. In short: an excellent choice for a few days stay
Excellent hotel, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Large modern rooms, great breakfast, central location.
The manager, Igor, is the nicest guy I ever met. Ever. Great, central location. Close to amenities, attractions, good restaurants, etc. I can recommend it with confidence and would go back there in a heartbeat.
This was a gem of a find, newly refurbished everything was spotless. The staff were very friendly and helpful above and beyond. The breakfast is highly recommended with different choices every day, all helped make our stay very enjoyable. Even the location was all you needed, a tram stop right outside and still very quiet in the room. All brilliant
Great hotel centrally located off the main street. Clean. Quiet. Comfy bed. Extensive breakfast range. Very friendly staff. Would stay again if I visited Zagreb.
From the first moment of arrival to the last moment of departure, this hotel staff are superb. Kind caring and considerate, and exceptionally helpful with guide tours information. Superb breakfast,spotless and clean smart room. With thanks! Leslie
A great location for touring around especially in the Upper Town. Nice breakfast for the start of everyday. Although we were arranging a room of street view ,still we got a good sleep because the double windows were equipped well.
Great central location. Parking directly at the hotel. Good breakfast.
