Woodbury Corp. announced a $300 million plan to redevelop the Great Mall of the Great Plains site, in Olathe, Kan., as a mixed-use project called Mentum, comprising retail, restaurants, entertainment and offices, plus two hotels and 300 apartments.
Other entertainment-based anchors under consideration include an interactive golf center and a multiscreen cinema.
Woodbury's private-equity arm has been active with several Kansas City–area projects in the past, including apartment and commercial properties, and the entity is also a partner in the development of The District, at the Lenexa (Kan.) City Center.
"We enjoyed building relationships with our Kansas City partners over the years, and we're excited about this new opportunity to continue in the area," said Josh Woodbury, vice president of acquisitions, in a prepared statement. "We feel that, when completed, Mentum will be a great amenity, not only for the local community of Olathe, but for the whole state of Kansas as well."
The Salt Lake City–based developer says it is under contract to buy the 100-acre site, about 20 miles from downtown Kansas City. The Great Mall of the Great Plains, which Glimcher Realty Trust and Jordan Robert Perlmutter & Co. co-developed and which opened in 1997, was the largest outlet mall in Kansas. It closed in 2015.
Mentum (derived from the word "momentum") will feature a 4,000-seat arena and a community center for youth hockey. Operating both will be an affiliate of Loretto Sports Ventures, a company owned by Lamar Hunt, Jr., who runs the Kansas City Mavericks and Topeka Pilots hockey teams.

Jetsetting is great for our health! In fact, getaways have many of the same health benefits as doing Sudoku and crossword puzzles. When we travel our brain is actively engaged, taking in all the new sights and sounds. While our brains our active, our bodies remain relaxed because they are physically removed from potentially stressful environments and routines. The result is more brain power and reduced blood pressure.
Everyone enjoys breaking their routine and getting out of town for the weekend — including your pup. This summer, pack him up and hit the open road together! If you think that traveling with your dog would be a huge hassle, you'd be wrong. More and more businesses are updating their policies to include the most loyal member of the family. Here's how to plan the perfect weekend getaway with your best friend.
Puppy Love: Tips for Traveling with Your Dog
1. Pre-book dog-friendly accommodations.
When you're traveling with your pooch, you don't have to limit yourself to campgrounds or make the little guy to sleep in the car. Nowadays, virtually every hotel chain has a pet policy. Many hotels, like Marriott for example, will charge a small fee — $50 to $100 — to let your dog crash in the room with you. Before booking, call ahead to double-check to make sure that your buddy is welcome. Snuggle up in your favorite pajamas and let him sleep at the foot of your bed in the lap of luxury!
2. Make sure he has space to rest.
Some people are the "backpack and go!" travelers and others are the "everything but the kitchen sink" type. Whichever end of the spectrum you're on, remember to make sure that your dog has plenty of space to stand up or lay down especially during a long car ride. Secure stacked baggage with bungee cords, to ensure Fido doesn't get smooshed! An uncomfortable pup is an unhappy travel companion. So roll that window down and let him enjoy the ride!
3. Prepare for frequent stops.
You and your dog both need to stop and stretch your legs during a longer trip. Stop at least once for every two hours of driving. Whether it's a pee break, a snack break, or a stop to briefly stretch your legs, getting to stand on solid ground will prevent your dog from getting stressed in the car. Bring plenty of water and let your dog take a drink during these breaks so he can stay happy, healthy, and hydrated!
4. Don't forget his favorite kibble!
When you're packing, bring his favorite brand of dog food along with you. While it would be easy to pick up a bag at your destination, you want to stay consistent with his feedings. Traveling in a car and staying in a hotel is not the optimal time for puppy tummy troubles… and you could wind up spending your days scrubbing car and hotel carpets instead of enjoying the great outdoors!
5. Research pet-friendly activities in advance.
Flying by the seat of your pants is a fun way travel, but when you have a pooch — especially if you're driving to a more urban environment — you're going to want to plan ahead. Run a quick search of hikes, parks, beaches, tours, and restaurants that will your dog participate. You don't have to bring him everywhere, but it's nice to know that you have options if you think he's spending too much time lounging all day in a king-sized hotel bed (poor baby).

This report discusses an unexamined location of the history of the legal profession — the part that late nineteenth and early twentieth century Jewish females legal practitioners played in the delivery of free legal aid to the poor as social workers, lawyers, and, importantly, as cultural and legal brokers. The LAD is a department in the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs whose objective to provide cost-free legal solutions in all sorts of cases to the poor people of Malawi, therefore, accord the folks top quality access to justice. A grant of help legal representation could be assigned to either a salaried in-house lawyer or referred to a private legal practitioner.
The Act is modelled on the English Legal Aid and Tips Act of 1949, and provides for a three tier approach to the granting of Legal Help. Absolutely nothing on this or connected pages, comments, answers, or other communications must be taken as legal guidance. The actual delivery of legal aid is by the provincial level of government, as part of provincial jurisdiction more than the administration of justice.
The Australian Government and most state and territory governments also fund community legal centres, which are independent, non-profit organisations which provide referral, suggestions and assistance to men and women with legal issues. The site also has a list of useful hyperlinks that offer legal help at the state and national level.
Even so, if you are unable to afford a lawyer but think you could qualify for free legal aid, the following can assist guide you in the correct path. Defendants under criminal prosecution who cannot afford to employ an lawyer are not only assured legal help connected to the charges, but they are guaranteed legal representation in the kind of public defenders as effectively. Check with your state's individual neighborhood legal programs for specific eligibility and intake specifications.
If you are Claimant and require an Advocate for your Michigan Unemployment Hearing , you can have Andrew or Glenda Grosjean represent you for Free. NALSA is laying excellent deal of emphasis on legal literacy and legal awareness campaign. Administratively the Legal Help Division was below the Administration Wing of the Chief Secretary's Workplace In 2007 it was moved to the Home Affairs Bureau , which chiefly oversees cultural matters and local administration. A specific section I have found extremely intriguing is the Third Schedule to the Legal Aid Regulations which establishes the charges payable to private Legal practitioners.

Drones_Unmanned Aerial Systems in the Drilling Industry
August 08, 2017
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) or "drones" are quickly changing the way construction companies do business, and offer solutions to many complex construction and safety challenges.
Specialty contractors are increasingly using drone payloads like still/video cameras, LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), Laser Scanning, FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared), multi-gas monitors, and other specialized payloads to monitor their construction and industrial activities.
While there are several versions of UAS made, the most commonly used drones for construction applications are the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) device with four, six, or eight rotary blades. More blades mean more lift, and that lift provides more power for attached payloads. With the VTOL design, UAS can remain in one place for extended periods without the high costs associated with using helicopters and small planes for the same job. However, the battery life of VTOL drones can be a limiting factor with current battery technology permitting average flight times of just 25 to 30 minutes. Fixed-wing drones typically have longer flight times and are very useful for missions like pipeline, power line and other linear survey and inspection applications, but do not have the ability to hover in place like the VTOL UAS, or get close to the target for detailed inspections, and may require some type of launch and recovery system.
Potential UAS applications for the drilling industry include:
Inspections of equipment such as crane booms, tips, sheaves and fixed/running rigging. This capability potentially eliminates the need to climb a mast or boom or ascend in an aerial work platform for the inspection task, an obvious safety and time saving advantage.
Overflight of construction sites, especially early in the construction cycle, can help to assess site conditions and identify potential access concerns such as slopes, depressions, changes in surface soils/coloring, etc., identify evidence of previously disturbed ground conditions such as pipelines, vaults, manholes, etc., that can undermine the soil stability and potentially the bearing capacity to support equipment. This valuable information can be uploaded to a BIM model in near real-time via point cloud.
Drones can assist with determining the layout of the drilling work to be performed, sequencing tasks, as well as identifying access routes into each area of a site.
Identify and document potential overhead hazards such as power lines, trees, and existing structures for the BIM model.
Drone overflights during course of construction can be used to document progress of work and the ever-changing conditions onsite.
Drones can be used to increase efficiencies by identifying lay-down areas and material storage areas to reduce required handling and travel distances, as well monitoring the movement of equipment, crews and installation tasks.
Drones can be used to monitor air above the ground, over spoil piles, or in drilled shafts for oxygen content, LEL and airborne contaminants. Tethered drones can get into confined spaces, have nearly unlimited power, can operate in low oxygen conditions, and may have intrinsically safe features where LEL is a consideration.
Document the job as work progresses from mobilization through completion.
Inspect cages and rigging during hoisting and installation.
Estimate stockpiles.
Document quality control inspections.
Marketing videos and photos.
Obtain useful information in a very expeditious and cost-effective manner.
Best of all, drones can be used to accomplish dirty, dull and dangerous jobs that employees traditionally perform, like climbing crane booms, entering confined spaces, and monitoring environmental conditions without exposing the worker to danger.
New FAA Rules
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which controls U.S. National airspace and has federal regulatory authority over operation of all types of aircraft, maintains that there are over 7,000 aircraft over U.S. skies at any given time. The FAA is rightfully concerned about sharing limited airspace with hobby and commercial use of drones and potential interference with civil and commercial aviation, not to mention the potential homeland security issues. Until recently, the commercial use of drones in the United States was complicated by a lengthy certificate of authority/waiver process, and required companies to have an FAA certified pilot for operating UAS. New FAA rules simplify the process to operate the devices legally, and do not require a sport pilot to fly them. The FAA recently released the new 14 CFR Part 107 rules which were effective August 29, 2016. Those rules include the following requirements for the commercial use of UAS:
Anyone 16 years old and up can fly UAS commercially. However, UAS operators must speak, write, and understand the English language.
You can now operate devices without an FAA airworthiness certification, pilot's license or Section 333 exemption/COA if the requirements below are met:
Prospective operators must pass an aeronautical knowledge test at an "FAA-approved knowledge testing center." Test locations can be found on the FAA website www.faasafety.gov.
If you currently hold an FAA pilot's license you can bypass the testing center by passing an FAA online course specific to UAS operations. Once the exam is passed, you can apply for and receive a Remote Pilot Airman Certificate (RPAC) with a small UAS rating. (As with manned aviation, we recommend keeping a flight log with hours documented for each type of craft used).
The FAA requires operators that have obtained the RPAC to pass a knowledge test every two years. Operators must be free from physical or mental conditions that may interfere with safe flight practices.
Prospective RPAC operators must be vetted (background check) by the Transportation Security Administration.
Operators must register their craft with the FAA on their website (small fee) and mark the craft with the unique registration number provided.
The UAS device must weigh less than 55 pounds (including payload) and drone operating speed cannot exceed 100 MPH.
Drone operators must fly within Visual Line-of-Sight (VLOS) of the device and less than 400 feet above ground level. If planning to operate Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) of the craft, as when using AR or "First Person View" (FPV) a visual observer is required whenever the device is out of view of the operator. This rule will likely change as BVLOS technology matures and the FAA/NASA UAS Traffic Management (UTM) system currently in development matures.
With a Remote Pilot Airman Certificate granted by FAA, drone operators can fly during daylight or civil twilight only. No night flights are allowed unless permitted through an FAA approved waiver.
Users are required by FAA to conduct preflight checks to ensure that UAS are in safe operational condition, and the importance of keeping detailed maintenance records cannot be over emphasized. Finally, according to the FAA, you must make your drone available to the FAA for inspection and testing if requested, and you must report any incident resulting in serious injury or property damage exceeding $500 (not including damage to your aircraft) to the FAA within 10 days.
FAA currently prohibits flights over "non-participating" personnel, which is not well defined at this time. Before undertaking commercial drone operations over persons or contracting with a drone services provider, we recommend verifying this prohibition by consulting with the FAA and your UAS operator to ensure compliance with both letter and spirit of the regulation.
The FAA is mostly silent on state and local regulation of UAS. Over 40 states have considered or passed legislation, and others have passed laws or resolutions around privacy and unwanted surveillance. The FAA and various construction industry groups like the Associated General Contractors would like the FAA rule to "preempt" state and local government rules outside traditional areas of state concern. However, several major cities like Washington DC, New York, and Los Angeles have already passed laws to prevent any drones from operating within city limits, and this could be a barrier to using UAS to document projects located in these downtown building locales. Your company should determine what the laws are in the states and cities where they operate.
Flying Over People
Common sense safety and risk principles suggest you should not operate a drone over non-participating personnel any more than you would allow non-participating personnel to walk around your jobsite during a critical crane lift. On construction sites, management and craft workers would be typically considered participating parties. However, third party persons outside the fence and not involved in the construction process (e.g. pedestrians and passing vehicles) would not. The way tower crane movements are typically managed on construction sites may be a model for UAS operations on building sites. Ideally, drone flights would be done when the least number of employees are onsite. Companies may consider incorporating UAS operations into their pro ject orientation and have attendees acknowledge that UAS operations may occur while they are onsite.
Risk Management and Safety Considerations
In the context of aviation, risk management refers to the use of active technologies and other mitigating techniques to assist operators to fly safely and not put non-involved third parties at risk. Some risk management and safety considerations for operating UAS include:
While UAS is a great technology, the potential for Illegal surveillance and trespass by your employees and/or vendor is a consideration. Ensure UAS data gathering is limited to the work and not capturing video of the pool party at the adjoining property, or operations at the nearby military facility.
Potential FAA and Homeland Security issues/conflicts include operations near airports and trauma centers with helicopter medevac operations. The possibility of drones flying in close proximity to or in the path of private or commercial aircraft is real. Flight planning and hazard analysis should include site specific operating parameters, including keeping the UAS flight path to a discreet area and altitude. Online waivers can and should be obtained through the FAA website for operations within five miles of an active airport or near other critical flight operations. This is a good way to steer clear of potential trouble and ensure your operations will not interfere with commercial, medevac, or privately owned aircraft.
The possibility of bird strikes or attacks on devices, which can result in drones crashing in an unpredictable manner.
Operating in high winds. Follow manufacturers operating guidelines for maximum wind speed.
The potential for cell tower/electromagnetic interference with onboard navigation systems. Issues may include lost wireless connection and problems with the onboard GPS/ navigation system.
Hacking ("spoofing") of drone controls by persons trying to take control of your drone.
Loss of drone power, resulting in possible personal injury, death or physical damage to third party vehicles or structures. Most drones have a "return home" feature when the device reaches a predetermined battery life. However, the flight path used by the return to home feature needs to be considered, particularly when the device does not have "detect and avoid" technology built-in. It is important to ensure a proper and safe return home flight path.
Incorporating "geo-fence" software into your device to prohibit operation in restricted airspace. For example, the manufacturer DJI recently excluded the area surrounding the 2016 Rio Olympic Games from their navigation software.
Insurance Options
Whether you are the purchaser of drone services or the provider of them, insurance is the first issue to address (after verifying proper operator certification, experience and training). Of equal importance is the contract or agreement pursuant to which the drone services will be bought or sold. Just as you would have a written contract from any other provider of vendor services, such an agreement is necessary to ensure that indemnity, hold harmless and other risk mitigation terms, conditions and requirements are properly addressed. The first line of defense is to define the contractual relationship between the parties, and properly allocate the risks and responsibilities. The ultimate safety net is having appropriate insurance.
Those companies hiring UAS services should ensure the drone operator or vendor accepts responsibility for accidental loss of the equipment and damage to any third party property and bodily injury. UAS coverage is readily available in North America. However, you should carefully select a well-qualified broker with applicable experience in placing insurance for the small aviation sector, particularly in placing drone coverage. When speaking to your broker and carrier about insurance options, be sure to discuss how other lines of coverage (e.g. professional lines) either "dovetail" or conflict with your existing coverages. Cyber coverage may be recommended if the information you gather is sensitive or classified, and stored on a USB device or memory card on the drone device.
There are several strategies for obtaining UAS coverage. The primary strategies are taking on the risk of operating UAS in-house, or using a vendor/subcontracting the work to others.
Embrace the risk – This strategy applies to those who operate drones in-house with owned devices, various payloads, and FAA certified operators. With this strategy, companies can obtain the appropriate insurance by consulting your broker/agent and insurance carrier for options. The standard Commercial General Liability (CGL) policy and most if not all non-standard CGL policies excludes liability arising out of the insured's "ownership, maintenance or use" of an aircraft. Since the FAA has declared that drones are "aircraft,, the devices would trigger this exclusion and would not cover your UAS activates. Aside from self-insuring, companies have two primary strategies when considering insurance.
Aviation Coverage – This insurance strategy involves purchasing an aviation policy to cover the UAS exposure. Aviation specific coverage can provide liability coverage arising out of the use, ownership, or operation of a UAS for bodily injury and property damage. Some insurers will also provide options for physical damage coverage to the drone itself. Premiums will vary based on the drone types and payloads, use, and experience of the operator. This strategy may also be a good solution for companies with existing aviation policies, where UAS can be added to the existing aircraft schedule via endorsement. Many companies that have virtual design and construction (VDC) teams are uniquely suited to incorporating UAS for data acquisition into existing software like BIM 360. Companies looking for commercial insurance must have robust UAS flight safety and risk management programs.
Commercial General Liability (CGL) Endorsement – To override the aviation exclusion inherent in most CGL policies, an endorsement can be attached to the policy to allow UAS operational coverage. This option is good for incidental in-house use of drones where it is not a part of the core business.
Transfer the risk – Another strategy for employing UAS services is to hire a specialty vendor or subcontractor with an FAA-compliant program, a robust risk management and safety program, adequate bonding and insurance, etc. This strategy makes sense for many smaller companies that do not specialize in UAS services, or have sophisticated VDC departments to process the data gathered by drones. This strategy may also make sense for many companies because the UAS technology is developing so quickly that it can require a lot of work and expense to keep up.
The vendor must meet FAA, state and local regulatory guidelines, if applicable. Legal liabilities, whether you are the manufacturer, operator or user of a drone is an area which requires increasing focus as the drone industry continues to grow exponentially. Remember, drones/UAS are aircraft operating in the federally controlled National Airspace System (NAS). This means that just like the pilot of a manned aircraft, the same potential liabilities exist for drone operators. Those hiring UAS services should ensure that the drone operator accepts responsibility for accidental loss of the equipment as well as damage to any third-party property and/or physical injury.
Drones are a rapidly evolving technology with many current and future applications. Companies can realize significant cost and time savings using drones over traditional aircraft. Companies must weigh the benefits and risks of buying and using in-house UAS or using a vendor to perform the work. If you decide to integrate drones into your construction operations, insurance coverage strategies should be discussed with your insurance broker and carrier. Hire experienced UAS operator(s) and train alternates, insure risk analysis and flight safety procedures are used on each site. Finally, using vendors or subcontractors to perform the work demands a thorough review of prospective operator contracts and insurance.

Cheat-Seeking Missiles Relaunched
Laer Pearce's Blogger blog was relaunched today, 6/26/2008, at its own hosted URL, www.cheatseekingmissiles.com. Arthur Baker Design got the honor of doing the design work and the WP installation. Like with the A6B blog, we used a multiple placement of the WordPress loop in his template design to allow a newsletter type of placement of posts in a special area of his main page dependent upon which category that post is assigned to. We also implemented all the latest/greatest WP Ajax-powered plugins for the blog presentation and for the admin side. WP 2.5x is quite amazing — here at ABDesign we are very much jealous of Laer and all his new toys. Now to find the time to upgrade ourselves!
Congratulations Laer — Happy blogging!
Article VI Blog Relaunched Today
Article6blog.com was relaunched today, in a brand new format that uses the WordPress engine as a content management system as well as functioning as a traditional blog. Full audio and video podcasting is being implemented as the site will feature timely interviews with the movers and shakers in both the religious and political theaters.
Your obedient designer was the point guy on both the design and the extensive coding modifications of an available WordPress template. Definitely not just a style sheet overhaul, the main theme php files were severely worked over, with the famous WordPress loop redefined to allow multiple loops on a single page, each showing information from specific categories in different manners. Much appreciation goes out to the author at Perishable Press and his definitive tutorials on how to make multiple loops play nice inside WordPress.
Congrats to the bloggers, John Schroeder and Lowell Brown over at A6B for creating such an exciting blog premise, and thanks for trusting in ABDesign to rework your very special blog.

Clinton cites Iranian threats to counter Russian objections to anti-missile shield deployment.
Race pits acting president against twin brother of leader killed in plane crash.
Around 30 million Poles out of a total population of 38 million are eligible to vote.
Turnout in the first round was 54 per cent but the Komorowski camp fears that the timing of the election, in mid-summer, combined with unusually hot weather, will play to Kaczynski's advantage as Komorowski voters, who are generally younger and wealthier, are more likely to take holidays and fail to vote.
Still, opinion polls have mostly predicted a Komorowski victory, though Kaczynski has been narrowing the gap in recent weeks and lagged by just five percentage points in the first round of voting on June 20.
On level terms
A final series of polls published on Friday, the last day of campaigning, showed the candidates either on level terms or Komorowski with a small lead.
Financial markets favour a Komorowski presidency, expecting him to work smoothly with the market-oriented government of Donald Tusk, the prime minister, as it tries to rein in a big budget deficit while keeping a fragile economic recovery on track.
"Only co-operation can guarantee that money will be spent rationally, only co-operation can guarantee that Poland will take the path of development," Komorowski said on Friday.
|in depth
In Poland, the government led by the prime minister sets policy, but the president appoints many key officials, has a say in foreign and security policy, and can propose and veto laws.
Investors fear that Kaczynski, who opposes cuts in public spending and privatisation, would use his presidential veto to block reforms, just as his brother Lech did before his death.
However, Kaczynski, known in the past for his acerbic nationalist rhetoric, has struck a conciliatory tone on the campaign trail in an apparent bid to win over middle-of-the-road voters.
"As president I would want to convince people to co-operate for the common good, for the development of Poland," he said on Friday, on a final swing through rural Poland, heartland of his conservative supporters.
Kaczynski is opposed to joining the euro any time soon and is distrustful of the EU, Russia and Germany.
Komorowski, the speaker of parliament and the country's acting president, shares Tusk's vision of a Poland firmly anchored in the European mainstream.
He favours working closely with Germany and other EU partners and trying to improve long troubled ties with Russia.

Europe hosts a variety of festivals throughout the year. Each celebration offers a different environment and celebrates all kinds of things, some can be quite bizarre, but that's what festivals are for! Below we explore some of the most unusual festivals held in Europe.
Air Guitar Championship Festival
The air guitar festival occurs every year in August, where people all over the world come together and compete with invisible instruments. The festival is held in Finland, and the competition has been a tradition that's been going on since 1996.
Golden Retriever Festivals
Tomich is a small town in Scotland known as the birthplace of golden retrievers. It's the perfect festival for dog lovers or for anyone who's got a thing for golden retrievers. It occurs every year in June, and many owners who own a breed gather together to celebrate their appreciation for the golden retrievers. The celebration consists of many activities including dog contest, dinner dance, mini-games and many more.
La Tomatina
La Tomatina is the biggest food fight celebration in the world. It is held every summer around August in Spain. People who are joining can throw overripe tomatoes at anyone taking part in the food fight. During the festival, there are also other activities involve, including music, fireworks, parades and so much more. If you're looking to add something new in your bucket list, this is it!
Beer Floating Festival
The beer floating festival is one of a kind event where everyone gathers around a river on their inflatable boat while having a beer at the same time. It's an open festival which means that there aren't any official organisers and anyone is welcome to join. The event occurs every summer and has been going on for over 20 years. It attracts people all over the world. The event is mostly spread through social networks and word of mouth.

Polluted air makes us suffocate, polluted water and food make us sick, but polluted words deliver us over to the worst of all fates""to be imprisoned inexorably in fantasy. An iron curtain falls between us and reality. There is hope that the polluted air and water and food may sometimes be purified, but once words are polluted they are lost forever, old lexicons are their cemeteries, and turning over the pages is like visiting their graves.

Brief intro / opportunities for my friend? (Guangzhou)
Greetings -- just moved a couple of months ago to Guangzhou to take a professorship in electronic/computer music. Just starting to explore social outlets in the area (up to this point, I had a large project with some dancers in the US that took priority over everything else, but with its completion, I'm free to look around).
Would love to chat with like-minded folks.
I'm also keeping my eyes open for social and work opportunities for a close friend. He's Chinese born, lived in the US for 12 years, and moved back to be closer to family. Unfortunately he doesn't have social or family contacts in Guangzhou, making it harder than it should be to make inroads, even for native Chinese (or maybe especially -- [light-skinned] foreigners get extra-special-nice treatment here, but he's just a "regular guy").
In other words, he's native Chinese but in the same position as expats...
In the US, he worked as a programmer but wants to work with people now. He would really like to get into teaching or tutoring. After 12 years in the US, he's completely fluent in English and can also offer Chinese lessons to foreigners. Very strong math/science background (graduated from Tsinghua Protected content tutor those subjects as well. Willing to tutor in small groups or individually. Located in Panyu, near Nancun.
Drop a note if you're interested, not what somebody who is interested, or have any leads for schools/training centers.
Also looking for social groups -- cooking clubs? Basic level badminton partners?
See you 'round!

This Salient-sponsored webinar by Security Today Magazine is now available on-demand. View the webinar recording here.
Banking and financial institution security isn't simply about protecting money. Sophisticated video surveillance enhances internal risk management, and protects employees, staff and customers. Cyber security threats to networked computer systems continue to evolve, including malware, which primarily targets networked security cameras and video recording servers and appliances. Therefore, hardening a computer system is an ongoing process rather than a one-time action.
In this webinar attendees will learn:
- Cyber security measures for deployed video surveillance systems
- PCI compliance - Windows 7 to Windows 10 Migration
- Analog to IP Conversion
- Managing and Reducing Bandwidth Consumption
For more than 20 years, Salient has worked in partnership with over 500 banking institutions to address their physical safety issues by providing video surveillance as a deterrent to crime and violence. Learn how to enhance your security plan for the future with Salient.

Berlinale 2017: How to get tickets (& what to see)
This is a newly updated version of our guide.
I'll be honest and admit that, to me, Glühwein and snow are way overrated. Winter as a whole I could do without, tbh. But there's one reason I don't skip Berlin for all of its winter months and that's Berlinale. For ten glorious days, at any time of day, we have our pick of dozens of different films. Most are from corners of the world I've not yet explored (the first Bhutanese film noir, anyone?), though there's also Perspektive, an entire program of homegrown German titles (with English subtitles, of course, like all non-English films in the festival). Yet it's not a simple escapist matter of buying popcorn and bingeing; you might be able to avoid your phone's increasingly deplorable Trump notifications, but you won't be able to avoid what the last German Oscar winner (fingers crossed for Toni Erdmann in 2017!) so elegantly called: the lives of others.
This is because, whatever glamorous image the advertisers want to conjure up, the Berlinale is not about movie stars and big explosions (though they always have a couple in the mix; this year the red herring is another Hugh Jackman outing as Wolverine), it's about the smallest stories on the biggest of screens. Go to one of the films in Competition, for instance, and find yourself immersed in the life of a Syrian refugee stuck in Helsinki, a transgender woman shunned after the death of her lover, or a Portuguese family suffering under the economic crisis. Don't get me wrong, it's not about film as a 'reality check' of some sort, we get enough of that every day now, thankyouverymuch. And it's certainly no replacement for speaking up about the injustices we see around us, but it's not another swipe left, not another stupid sitcom, not another scroll deeper down the endless well of social media. It's a chance to very literally see the world through another person's eyes — and in a nicely heated cinema to boot.
I try to avoid films that come pre-charged with buzz from other festivals, since you can usually always catch them in regular rotation during the year to come, but this year I'm definitely not going to miss an early look at I Am Not Your Negro, the Oscar-nominated documentary about the ever-relevant essayist and novelist James Baldwin, nor could I avoid mentioning the seductive summer romance Call Me By Your Name by the director of the transcendent Tilda Swinton movies I Am Love and A Bigger Splash (did I mention this one's scored by Sufjan Stevens?). As far as more obscure films are concerned, I am stoked about a documentary set in a deserted town in the Georgian mountains where they used to mine for a metal mysteriously called manganese; a colorful film about a throuple's tribulations amidst a surfer community in the South China Sea; a typically Norwegian piece of laconic navel-gazing set on an Oslo balcony; and ok, ok, that new 3D conversion of Terminator II: Judgement Day… And if you're looking for a horror film to scare any Berliner out of their wits, try Berlin Syndrome, in which an Australian backpacker is seduced by a friendly local English teacher only to find herself his captive — in Friedrichshain. Yikes.
What follows is a quick and dirty guide to how the festival works, and how you can score tickets with the least amount of frustration. Before studying the program, all you need to know is that — and I'm simplifying here — Competition films are the ones in, erm, competition; Panorama films are by semi-established international filmmakers; Forum and Forum Expanded are younger, riskier, and artier; Generation ones are (not just!) for kids, and only €4; and the other, smaller sections are fairly self-explanatory. All of them (aside from those blatant red-carpet 'Specials' that are there so that Gala and L'Oreal will still show up) are guaranteed to be special or great or crazy or stunning ortcetera.
You can download the program brochure at the Berlinale website, or pick up a paper copy for handy marking up at the Arkaden or in other cinephile locations around town. And if the sheer number of options seems paralyzing, there's always seats left over somewhere; simply try the box office at any participating theater on the day of and let the fates of film be your guide (remember they don't take cards!). Students and other disadvantaged folks pay half price for same-day tickets, and starting half an hour before every Berlinale Palast screening starts, all left-over tickets for screenings there are 50% off!
If you do have a wish list, use the Berlinale's handy programming tool and apps, and figure out what goes on sale when. Though the festival only releases a limited number through their website (online sales do not exactly encourage a fun festival vibe, I guess?) and you'll have to pay a €1,50 surcharge per ticket, you will be able to get tickets at home. (You'll need an Eventim account, though, best set that up beforehand.) When you're successful (coordinate with your friends every morning over coffee and Skype!), you can either print them out, get a special 'mobile' ticket, or — if you love lines — pick them up with your printed confirmation at the Arkaden.
If the online contingent is sold out, or you just don't trust the speed of your internet, you can bring snacks and line up early at the Potsdamer Platz Arkaden, at Kino International, at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele, or Audi City Berlin out west. What's more, and this is might be the best tip I'm giving you here today: For a €2 surcharge you can get tickets for ANY screening that is for sale (see below) at ANY Berlin ticket office (Koka36 on Oranienstrasse, for instance). Just be sure to note down the ticket code for your chosen screening beforehand (find it in the printed program or on the website) so those poor devils won't have to wade through all the Berlinale events to find the one you mean.
Now, as for when you should buy your tickets, that's where shit gets crazy German (and I mean that in the nicest way, sort of):
Starting Monday, February 6th, 10:00am, you will be able to get tickets for ALL screenings at the Friedrichstadt-Palast, HAU, the Volksbühne, and those in Culinary Cinema and Berlinale Goes Kiez (which just might take the Berlinale to the cinema around the corner from you in Neukölln, Wedding, heck, even in Weißensee or Wilmersdorf, check the entire list here).
That same day, you'll also be able to buy tickets for ALL screenings on the Berlinale Publikumstag (February 19th), when the awards have been awarded, the filmmakers have mostly left, and us regular folk can take over the festival grounds (hence the friendlier pricing: €8 per screening, €4 for films in the Generation kids program).
Though this already seems like being spoiled for choices, many more tickets actually won't be on sale yet on February 6th, as they only go on sale three days in advance (again, a smaller number of tickets online and the rest at the three main ticket offices). Just to fuck with people (I can only assume), tickets for repeat screenings of Competition films may be purchased four days in advance. Dizzy yet? I bet just showing up and catching whatever's playing is sounding pretty sweet right now, but it really isn't that complicated when you use Berlinale's 'Programme Planner', which clearly shows when exactly the screenings you've selected will go on sale. As for snacks, remember that there's a street food fair set up on Joseph-von-Eichendorff-Gasse right near the main venues at Potsdamer Platz, starring all your favorites from Markthalle 9, so no need to resort to bland mall food at the Arkaden.

Some of the showings are marked as "Press" and others say you must be accredited. Are these completely closed to the public, or would last-minute tickets be available? Can't seem to find anything helpful on this on the belinale website.
'Press' and 'accredited' (for eg. LOLA Screenings) screenings are indeed completely closed to the public. Tickets aren't sold for these and access is with badge.
Just thought I'd post this here as well:
I found the Berlinale site really hard to find tickets which aren't either sold out or unreleased on so I made this site: https://nowberlinale.herokuapp.com
It doesn't make money, just an open source little thing I made for the love.
Hope it's useful to people :)

Central Banks Buy Gold Bullion Hand Over Fist, Most Purchased Since 1967
Written by Nathan McDonald, Sprott Money News
Cryptocurrencies have been crushed, the stock market looks poised for a slowdown and the world stands on the edge of a cliff, as geopolitical tensions flare across the globe, waiting for a spark to ignite the flames.
The smart money knows it, and they are starting to move. This includes Central Bankers, which are buying the king of metals, gold bullion, hand over fist.
As I stated at the start of this year, I believe 2019 will see significant accumulation in the precious metals market, which will finally break out of the horrible sideways trading pattern we have been in for years.
As many of you know, gold has been stuck in an abysmal trading pattern, moving slightly above $1300 only to be crushed back down toward the $1100 mark.
This comes in spite of the fact that we now face the most geopolitical uncertainty we have seen in decades.
However, not everyone has been unaware of these dangers.
Central Banks spent 2018 accumulating precious metals in a monumental way, increasing their holdings bythe most in one year since 1967. Quietly accumulating while the rest of the financial world happily ignores the alarm bells going off all around them.
Recently, the World Gold Council stated that the world consumed 4,345.1 tonnes of gold throughout 2018, up from 4,159.9 tonnes in 2017.
The chief driver of this move higher was Central Banks, which bought 651.5 tonnes throughout 2018, a staggering 74 percent increase over 2017, and as previously stated, the largest increase since 1967.
Sadly, Western Central Bankers are still asleep at the wheel and were not the main contributors to this increase.
As I have been reporting on for years, countries such as Russia, India, China, Poland, Kazakhstan and Turkey were the main purchasers of gold bullion throughout 2018.
As the vaults in the West continue to be drained, the vaults in the East continue to fill to the brim with real, honest money that is unlikely to ever return.
These countries are happily buying gold bullion in vast quantities, diversifying out of their USD holdings as they do so.
Gold net accumulators know that the winds of change are coming and precious metals are likely to once again play a vital role in the future, as the dominance of the U.S. dollar continues to erode.
I believe both Russia and China are more aware of this than any others, and are actively planning the day in the future in which one of them, most likely China, can replace the USD as the reserve currency of the world.
Gold will play a vital role, and this is just one of the many reasons why they are so eager to accumulate precious metals.
I strongly believe this trend is just the beginning and we haven't seen anything yet.
A major crash in the global economy lays just over the horizon, and it is only a matter of time before precious metals are once again called upon to play the vital protection role they have always filled throughout history.
Global supply of gold is increasing at a snail's pace, increasing by only 1% last year.
If retail investors finally wake up and begin to move into precious metals, as they did in the last bull market, then we will have an explosive scenario on our hands.
Gold and silver bullion vaults will be drained at a staggering pace, and a runaway move higher in prices will finally break the shackles that have kept it contained for years.
Smart Central Bankers know this, and it is exactly why they are making their move before the masses wake up, accumulating gold bullion while it is on sale, before the inevitable move higher.

Kingsnakes and Milk Snakes are new top-level categories, while the remainder of Colubrids will begin in the Other Colubrids category. These include Bullsnakes, Coachwhips, Garter Snakes, Gopher Snakes, House snakes, Indigo Snakes, Pine Snakes, Rat Snakes, Ribbon Snakes, Water Snakes, Tricolor Hognose and more.
Other Colubrids is similar to our "Other" categories for Pythons and Boas. It's organized by subcategory rather than by genetics. As their popularity grows, they can be promoted to top-level categories with genetics support. In the meantime, we plan to add more subcategories to fill out the numerous Rat Snake varieties and such.
This is exciting because we've been getting requests for more colubrids all year. They are beautiful and approachable to reptile lovers of all experience levels.
Today's launch brings our top-level category count to 15! We know that some of you are wondering, what's next? When will we add that other species which you are most excited about?
- The last remaining top-level snake category we have staged is Rainbow Boas. If you sell these or have a favorite breeder of Rainbow boas, will you encourage them to go on MorphMarket and list their Rainbows today? Here's an invitation you can use. We have this area staged and want to launch it soon.
- Next, we are going to work on Geckos and Lizards, starting with Bearded Dragons. Beardies are also staged currently so sellers can list their dragons today. Here's an invitation. We hope all of these Gecko and Lizard areas will be opened up in 2018, and maybe more.

Fish Frying In the Pan
Here's something a little different. This is a shot of a filet of Isle Royale lake trout in the frying pan back home in Copper Harbor. This delicious -- unbelievably fresh and delicious -- pink beauty was caught by my brother, Captain John Kilpela. He fished just outside Rock Harbor last week, fairly closer to the Rock Harbor Lodge, and caught a three-pounder. He kept one filet and gave the other to my wife Marsha and me. We split it with my son Logan and had a great meal (son Drew doesn't favor fish). John doesn't like frying fish, but I think trout is just superb just about any way you can get them cooked, though I prefer breaded and deep-fried. I've been hearing on the island that the trout are coming very close to shore and are being caught in very shallow waters, especially for this time of summer, when the Lake is beginning, at last, to warm up a bit. The water is still very cold, of course. The nearshore temperatures are only 45 degrees or so, but that's cold for mid-June. Though spring is very late, we have had a great week of weather this past week. The long-range forecast looks great as well.

Are you stuck on trying to get numbers?
In this article we're going to go over the simple process for those that are new to this world.
- Are you tired of leaving the club with no numbers?
- Are you annoyed of being too nervous to to get a girls number?
- Are you frustrated with seeing other dudes get numbers?
1. Smile.
You need to be smiling. Don't go out if you're pissed off. Stay home or go work out. Get your frustration out of your system. When you go out you better have a smile on your face. You're out to own the night my friend. You're not out to be sad and tell women about your problems.
Nobody cares so SMILE.
2. Use the three second rule.
Have you heard of the 3 second rule? It's actually really simple and easy to apply. You just need to grow a set before you enter the club.
When you see a girl that you want to talk to, don't think about it. Just say something. Give yourself three seconds to say something.
Say the first thing that comes to mind. Don't just stand there, don't stare and don't watch her while she dances. You want to be the cool guy that can get any girls number and not the creepy guy.
3. Open groups.
Truly attractive women will never travel alone. It's just the way that life works.
You need to stop stressing and looking for that hot chick that's alone. If you want to know how to get a girls number you need to be willing to open groups.
The beauty of opening a group is that you can go up to the guys and start shooting the breeze about sports or anything else that's going on.
Remember that if you lead the men, the women will follow.
4. Neg the target.
Do you know who's number you want to get? Find the girl that you want to pick up and start negging her (backwards compliment).
Have fun some and tease her. Don't look like you're overly excited about chatting with her.
5. Tell stories and become cooler.
You need to start telling some stories. Bring up some cool shit that you've been working on. Talk about your friends. Make up crap if you have it. You need to be telling stories that make you look cool so that the whole group is excited about you being there.
6. Isolate the friend.
After you've impressed the group, negged the target, and told lots of cool stories you should ask the group if you can talk to the friend. By this point everyone in the group should like you. They should have no trouble with you talking to the friend alone while all the other guys in the club stand against the wall.
7. Intrigue here.
Why should she keep on talking to you? Well because you're a stud! On top of that you're going to tell her lots of cool stories, right? Make yourself look like a celebrity. Tell those stories.
8. Qualify her.
Why should you even take her number down Make her prove that's she's cool enough to talk to you (even if you're totally desperate you don't want to show it). How can you qualify a girl? It's simple. I'll give you a few quick examples of funny lines:
- Are you as much trouble as you look?
- What makes you so cool?
- Why should I pick you over the other girls here?
These may sound cocky. I'll tell you this though. This beats being a stuttering prick.
You need to get the girl to qualify herself before you ask for her number.
These tips will work if you want to know how to get any girl.
You just need to watch out for who you go for. The art of seduction can often be a game of chance. Some girls are out looking for a one night stand, some just want to dance, some have a jealous boyfriend, while others are waiting for that guy to get her number. Don't hold back. Now that you know how to get a girls number I hope that you apply this info to your life.

The company recently launched this industry-changing system and has several other cutting-edge innovations in the pipeline, including a product that will help retailers with online grocery pickup (OGP) which will be on display at Groceryshop.
Moving into eCommerce Fulfillment is a natural fit for the company as they are known as the cold storage experts to large, nationally recognized brands. In addition, working with these brands over the years, implementing a variety of solutions, has made them a trusted name in the retail arena.

KPSG is the undisputed leader and innovator in grocery cold storage and they are bringing a continual stream of new innovation designed to transform the way retailers deliver cold food to their customers. This market-changing innovation is entirely consistent with the approach the D Cubed Group brings with all our portfolio companies."

Ultraviolet irradiation of crystalline molecular inclusion complexes of deoxycholic acid with di-tert-butyl thioketone results in no reaction. The structure of the above complex has been determined via X-ray diffraction. The absence of expected photoreactions. namely, photoreduction and photooxidation, is rationalized on the basis of the X-ray structure analysis of the complex.

Who knew Eminem sounded good on the violin?
Not the Michigan native himself, but a cover of his 2010 single "Love the Way You Lie," which features vocals from Rihanna.
Eric Stanley, a 20-year-old violin player from Richmond, Va., has posted YouTube videos covering popular rap songs. The Eminem cover was posted 10 months ago, but has had a resurgence circulating around the Internet this week.
His cover, slow like the song at first, picks up and is pretty remarkable.
"What began as an elective in middle school, developed into a second nature for Eric," his Facebook bio reads. "As he entered high school, he went on to receive professional training and join the Richmond Youth Symphony Orchestra."
Stanley's page said he started playing along recorded songs in 2010, and one of the first videos he posted on Youtube – a violin cover of "Say Ahh" by Trey Songz – gained 100,000 views in a day.
His cover is below followed by the Eminem video. Stanley's cover of a Justin Bieber song – another impressive performance – follows.
The Eminem video contains graphic content. Viewer discretion is advised.

Our expertise makes us a technological leader in oil upcycling. With an international collection and logistics network, and over 70,000 customers in Europe and the USA, large tank farm capacities, and long-term customer relationships, we have excellent access to used oil. We can react flexibly to market developments at any time through our storage capacities, ensuring loads are distributed optimally across our refineries.
Every year, over 500,000 tons of used oil and emulsions are delivered to the refining process to be turned into high-quality oil products and lubricants at our refinery and production locations in Germany, Denmark, The Netherlands and Georgia, USA. We also have seaports available for handling large shipments of used oil and refinery products in Kalundborg, Denmark; Blexen, Germany; and at the Gulf of Mexico in the US.
In our assessment, the leading technology in used oil refining is our "Expanded selective refining" process. During this process, used oil is carefully cleaned of contaminants using an environmentally-friendly solvent. The valuable, reusable components of the oil are retained.
Our patented "Expanded selective refining" is environmentally friendly. It creates almost no waste products. The solvent is also refined, reclaimed, and can be re-used as many times as desired.
Another bonus: The technology is more efficient than other processes used to re-refine used oils. This means we can reclaim a base oil that outperforms base oil from crude oil refining in key ways, while protecting the environment through sustainable recycling processes.

Koko Kanu
When was the last time that you bought a bottle of rum? A proper bottle with roots to a Caribbean island and a story to be told about a new name soon to take the UK super markets by storm – (we hope)!
This is why a review is needed – along with a warning for the new name in the alcohol aisle – Koko Kanu.
What is it like?
Opening the bottle, the instant smell of coconut and rum transports the sense to a sun bleached beach somewhere in the Caribbean… No? OK, perhaps some might get this but we were really impressed with the strength of the Coconut smell.
The drink is a clear liquid and as it was poured from the bottle it had that heavy looking water, not much more the say about how it looks I am afraid but we are not interested in looks, more about the taste.
Sampling a small glass over ice (the ice is just to make sure it will get a chance to water it down if needed) does not take too long. The soft taste of coconut with the hit of rum in the background is something else. Needless to say the ice did not have chance to melt.
Do not think you have tried something similar to this, you haven't. We know why you might think this, we did too! This really is a very different drink to the others that promote the same mix of coconut and rum.
We tried it with a few different mixers – other than ice we tried Koko and coke, Koko and pineapple and then with ginger beer (dark and stormy). They all tasted amazing, we were so impressed we were determined to make a review out of it.
So why the warning?
Have you ever opened a bottle of something and enjoyed the taste so much that before you know it the bottle is empty? For us, this bottle should have a warning label fixed to it – "Before opening – make sure there is no work tomorrow."
Where can I get some?
We have found that this stuff can be bought on line, Amazon is selling it for just £15 a bottle.
But if you worry about the postie dropping your bottle on their rounds, a visit to Sainsbury's or Waitrose will sort this problem out.
Being that the summer is so wet, treating yourself to a bottle of this stuff will bring some warmth and sun your way.

Tonight was the last class of my first Wilton Cake Decorating course.
Since Terence is out of town this week visiting his family in Florida, I decided to bring the cake to work, because honestly at this point it doesn't even sound good! I made a 9-inch double layered funfetti cake, smooth iced at home. As you can see I did get down that 90 degree angle on the edges, but it appears that I skimped too much on the icing and I think it looks a little bare. The 90 degree angle was achieved by using a blade to scrap the sides, THEN across the cake, not from the bottom of the sides up across the cake (like I did last week).
Throughout the course we have been learning parts of the Wilton rose technique. The base of the rose, built with a tip #12, and the petals in rows of 1, 3, 5, and 7, tip #104. You can even watch a how-to video on wilton.com. I can't say that I mastered the rose, there may have been some cursing, but I did end up getting a few good ones out. I eventually got the leaves to come out right as well, using tip # 352. Although the "leaf green" Wilton icing color looks more like neon green to me! After the centerpiece was in on the cake, I added some simple dots, tip #3, and a seashell border, tip #21 and voila!
Hope everyone enjoys work tomorrow!
Oh and if anyone is interested, Michael's is offering 50% off classes for the month of February.

The Agony of De-FeetPosted by Mike Antonucci Filed Under: Running is Funny
The Boston Marathon. The Peachtree Road Race. The Fifth Avenue Mile. And now, the Glamour Stiletto Run.
Laugh if you will, but the next time you find yourself complaining about blisters, black toenails and bunions after a training run, think of how you would feel after running that same distance in high heels.
That's just what 150 women did in Amsterdam last week, in the latest incarnation of the Glamour Stiletto Run. The race covers 350 meters in the heart of Amsterdam's upscale shopping district, with a nasty 90-degree turn early on. The winner receives a 10,000 euro shopping spree. The catch is that you have to wear heels of 3-4 inches. No platforms, pumps, espadrilles and, especially, no running shoes.
Stiletto races are becoming all the rage in Europe, with races of varying lengths in Denmark, Poland, Russia and Germany. This British TV report will give you a good view of the proceedings, but this Dutch report includes the pre-race expo and post-race shopping.
It doesn't appear the idea has caught on too well on this side of the ocean. A stiletto run in Mexico City limited participants to "women by nature" and was met with protests. Last year's Amsterdam run spawned a heated exchange on (where else?) Manolo's Shoe Blog.
But here at CompleteRunning.com we prefer to avoid the social and cultural implications of a high-heeled race and focus our investigatory powers on a different question: ringers!
Tamara Ruben, the winner of the Amsterdam stiletto race, is an international-class athlete in the 400 meter high hurdles, finishing fifth in the SPAR European Cup.
It's a short hop from high hurdles to high heels. If the amateur nature of stiletto runs isn't protected, we can expect other European nations to field ringers. The Ukrainian contingent would be particularly formidable.
About Mike Antonucci
I ran 6-minute miles when I was in the military, then tapered for 20 years. Two-time marathoner (3:43 PR), my next goal is to stay healthy enough to run another. There are literally thousands of people handing out running advice and serious tips. I prefer to focus on the humorous or odd facets of our shared obsession. Let's face it, running is funny.

The roommate of Anne Frank
Van Der Zee re-creates the life story of Fritz Pfeffer, a German born Jewish dentist, who under the name of 'Dussel' -- which means 'day-dreamer' or even 'dullard' -- prominently appears in the diary of Anne Frank. In Het Achterhuis, Anne Frank describes this man, who was her roommate in hiding for almost two years, as a narrow minded, irritating and gloomy figure. This material, including Pfeffer's last letter to Kaletta, his lover, dated 15 November 1942, came into the hands of the well-known Dutch historian Nanda van der Zee. With the help of Pfeffer's son, who gave her a wealth of unpublished photographs, as well as friends and acquaintances of Kaletta and Pfeffer from Germany, Holland, Belgium and South Africa and the Pfeffer archives of the Anne Frank Foundation, she re-created the story of his life. This book, which was published in the Netherlands in 1990, is the merit of Nanda van der Zee that she corrects the image that Anne Frank gave of Pfeffer and in essence rehabilitates him. He emerges as an affectionate man and a caring, warm lover. This new image proves to be a correction to the 'Diary' and may alter some of the hagiography surrounding Anne Frank. The testimony this book provides will penetrate deeper than a more empirical, historical account. It is a valuable supplement to the 'Diary'. The most significant value however lies in the author's underlying message: that war has a total, senseless and destructive effect on everybody.
