At Alfred Coffe in The Alley
I can't tell you how obsessed I am with Alfred Coffee, lol. And it's even better now when they opened a smaller one in "The Alley". It's not as busy as the other one on Melrose Place, and I always go there when I'm in a rush. You just walk in and get your coffee within 2 min. At the one on Melrose Place you sometimes have to wait 30 min to get your coffee - it's worth it though :D
It's been another long day at the office, but I'm not complaining ;) The days just go super fast.. I can't believe it's Friday tomorrow already! We are getting some girls together to go "After-work" at one of my favorite restaurants in West Hollywood, AOC. Will be fun :) Have a good night guys!!

text: I'm about to buy a 16GB touch for my daughter but am confused about the versions on sale. I've seen model numbers MA627Z0/A & B. I believe early versions (A?) can have the software upgraded, both the firmware and the January update (for a small fee) but wonder if there were any teething problems on early versions that have been improved in the later (B?) version that make it worth buying? Otherwise it seems the A version is cheaper even after paying for the Jan update... What do you think?

2017 Jeep Compass
New 2017 Jeep Compass at Greenbrier Motor Company for Lewisburg, WV
Searching for a compact SUV hatchback that has superb fuel-economy in the front-wheel-drive style, is excellent driving around town, and is potentially one of the best-priced options among its rivals? The 5-passenger 2017 Jeep Compass fits that description and is ready to drive into your future as soon as possible! The Compass stands out from the crowd with its ingrained Jeep durability paired with its 'any condition' reliability. With its off-road mode on the 4WD within the Freedom Drive II system (available) and fun flip-down speakers in the tailgate (available), the Compass will get you going in the correct direction very soon.
Under the Compass's Hood
A 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 172 horsepower and 165 lb-ft of torque is put on AWD trims as standard. The Jeep Compass comes standard with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque. That is fused with the front-wheel drive configuration. The 2.0-liter in the Latitude is affixed to a continuously variable transmission, and the 5-speed manual transmission (standard) goes with a 2.0-liter on the Sport model (or an automatic 6-speed style transmission). The Sport trim has the potential for the Freedom Drive II system, which has a crawl mode in its accented CVT. Standard on all trims of the 2017 Compass is a tilt steering wheel, a customized and touring-tuned suspension, and the 'Speed Control' mode within the cruise control. In Edmunds testing, an AWD 2017 model with the six-speed transmission got from 0 to 60 mph in 9.4 seconds (2.4-liter engine). The Compass can and will tow up to 2,000 pounds when put with the correct gear.
Design of Jeep Compass
There are two models within the Compass lineup (and a few variants on those themes): the Latitude and the Sport. Standard on the Sport is a USB port next to an aux port, satellite radio, Bluetooth phone/audio connectivity, foglights, a tilt-only steering wheel, 60/40-split rear seatbacks that fold down, A/C, cruise control, a 4-speaker sound system with a CD player, and 16-inch alloy wheels. The Sport trim has two other variants: the Sport SE or the 75th Anniversary Edition. A sunroof appears up on top of the 75th Anniversary package, with a remote engine starter and 18-inch bronzed alloy wheels. The Sport SE model has a matching gloss-gray body trim, a leather-wrapped steering wheel (with audio controls), and heated front seats. The Latitude has a variant called the 'High Altitude Edition'. The High Altitude Edition gets a sunroof and leather upholstery. The Latitude core model brings in the Sport's features as standard, then employs 17-inch wheels, cherry-picks from the Power Value Group, and has an available tonneau cover (Package option). There's a garage-door opener, a cargo cover, an informational display, and an alarm in the Security and Cargo Convenience Group. Any Compass can also utilize the Freedom Drive II Off-Road Group. Standard in the cabin for technology is the Uconnect Voice Command with Bluetooth system, which allows a remote USB port for playing or transferring files, SiriusXM Radio (with 1-year trial subscription), and also allows handsfree calling via Address Sync. Four-wheel drive Compass models are complemented well by the All-Weather Capability Group, and there is an available Uconnect Wi-Fi internet connection / Wi-Fi hotspot that the dealer could be asked to install.

This SUV has got it all: 4x4 capability, passenger and driver-friendly tech on the inside, lots of safety features, and just plain good looks after its redesign this year! Speaking of those safety features, there are side curtain airbags and front-seat side airbags, antilock brakes, stability and traction control. With its one-two-three total drivetrain possibilities: the 4x2, the Freedom Drive I 4x4, and the Freedom Drive II 4x4-- the 2017 Jeep Compass will get you (and your passengers) around the suburbs and metropolitan roads just fine, and can surmount the steepest off-road challenges you throw at it too! All-wheel-drive versions have both rear and front disc brakes.

Jerzy Grotowski ranks alongside Bertolt Brecht and Konstantin Stanislavsky as one of the 20th century's leading theatre directors.
He stopped making performances in 1969, spending more of his life working beyond rather than in the theatre, but the impact of his Teatr Laboratorium and 'poor theatre' still resonate widely today.
This exhibition captures Grotowski's last performance and his movement away from the theatre.
Shot in 1979 in Milan, it is testament to an extraordinary feat of photography, capturing legendary actors at work in the near darkness of an almost ritual-like performance.

Black candidate makes history as women advance in U.S. midterms
There are 65 comments on the KUQL-FM Mitchell story from May 23, 2018, titled Black candidate makes history as women advance in U.S. midterms. In it, KUQL-FM Mitchell reports that:
Democratic voters rallied on Tuesday for the chance to make history in November by selecting a ticket filled with female candidates, including a bid to elect the first African-American female governor in the United States. Stacey Abrams won the party's nomination for governor in Georgia, where she faces long odds in a Republican-dominated southern state testing divergent Democratic strategies.

So far, there's a notable amount of blacks in political positions compared to earlier times but the catch is, they're mostly women, not men. Even black nationalists or activists themselves often complain that the low number of black men as lawyers, or in political positions today is cause for concern.
#3 May 24, 2018
More "bad" news could make black men unhappy or even scared, but it's an increasing trend seen among many major U.S. cities including New Orleans and possibly Atlanta... not only being newly-ran by white men, but also by other non-blacks and women of all races, or Hispanics as well.
Are the reasons for these trends because BM are being judged as incompetent, they're losing political interest, or because their population growth or sustainability is in question? Perhaps it could be a combo of all three.
#4 May 24, 2018
Why do liberal tech companies hire so few blacks and latinos, not to mention not hiring women? Answer: because they are two faced liberals!
Forget the politicians being spied on for a minute. Is everyone ok with all the domestic spying going on between big tech and government on the domestic public -that's you. Take for instance a story that was on KFI in Los Angeles this morning about facial recognition.
So the hosts were talking about the fact that when you walk into a big box store there is now facial recognition software scanning everyone without their permission.
Police departments are now also using this software apparently donated to them by invasive tech companies like Amazon (but you know most likely Google, Apple and Facebook as well) so they can track everyone in live time as well.
Handle points out that this could be, a little out of control, but that since he's not doing anything wrong he has nothing to worry about and you shouldn't be worried either. And also, they do this all the time in England and people just accept it so move along.
Hey, Mr. Mieskeit in the morning, you are always saying you came from a family of Holocaust survivors that fled to Brazil. Do you know what Hitler would have done with this kind of facial recognition software if he decided to round up Jews or anyone else with it that complained about what he was doing? Your family would have most likely never made it out. I'm sure he would think that was funny.
This technology is fine, till one day you get a tyrannical deep state in control, like for instance the one America almost had under Hillary Clinton, and the one currently running mainland China.
The mainland Chinese government (not to be confused with regular Chinese people) are the biggest pushers of facial recognition, drone technology and internet tracking in the world. They use it to track what people are doing at stores, on the street, in people's homes, etc. But they go further.
They then coordinate with what you do on social media and flag people who complain about government abuse or criticism. Currently, they give everyone a social media score based on how "good" a citizen they are. The more control and tyranny you accept the better your ranking and social score.
#5 May 24, 2018
The better the slave you are, the more privalges you get. The more you complain about human rights abuses (never mind civil rights abuses) the lower score you get.
Those with bad social scores are being targeted to not be able to have a job or board an airplane and they are also getting banned from the internet or having their internet blocked.
China is now talking about cutting off peoples ability to use digital currency if a person is not a good digitlal citizen -aka slave. Since China is doing away with physical currency you could say they have blocked the abliity to buy or sell. Sound familiar in biblical terms?
See, unlike that infowars piece which explains what is going on and how it is bad, that news story on KFI and other mainstream media is put there to condition people to accept tyrany. Don't question if it. Don't ask if it violates the 4th ammendmant by treating everyone like a criminal until proven innocent. Just don't let it bother you, watch the baseball game, the football game, the soccer game -oooh look at the ball go.
Did the public get to have a discussion about this? Were we told this was going on? No, they thought they'd just slip that one by like the street corner cameras after 9/11 and get us to accept it later through media conditioning.
#6 May 24, 2018
What we need are some serous lawsuits and then a technological bill of rights. This is where the ACLU could have a field day and get the public behind them for a worthy cause. This technology is a double edge sword. It's good because it keeps people safe by catching criminals. It's bad because it could be used by big business or uncsrupuloous individuals to round up people some day that are not good "citizens."
I mean, If you get some rogue elements in your local police department with this technology they can target anyone they like without impunity. They may also not stop to think that another government agency or even tech workerss at big tech companies could be looking over their shoulders analyzing ther inividual habbits and everyday personal transgressions. It goes on and on.
When you think about, just about anyone will be able to be blackmailed in the future -and that's not right and will lead to a Stasi environment. What we are all going to be watching each other now? It's ridiculous that it could get this far without being addressed en masse by congress.
So where does this all this lead? Are we going to get nailed on our future social credit score if we talk about not wanting homeless all over the place in our cities next. Or if we don'like illegal aliens living off our tax dollars. How about if we don't agree with a gas tax that was just buffaloed on us without a vote. It all depends on who is running the show and how much tyrany people are willing to accept.
It's great that Donald Trump was elected. His getting spied on by the deep state and them trying to overturn his election was a blessing in disguise because he just recieved an education on how out of hand this issue has become in the supposed land of the free.
Let's see if Donald Trump has time to break up some of the tech monopolies out there and get this country to have a better way of dealing with technology, privacy and freedom in the future. The 4th amendment needs to be applied to all this new technology. We should not be turned into some 3rd world technological banana republic, dressed up like a first world country.
That's your real news topic for the day. Don't look for this discussed in the LA Times or mainstream media, they have a royal wedding to cover.
#7 May 24, 2018
Hopefully if Abrams does get elected, she'll be a REAL progressive, not a wolf in sheep's clothing like Andrew Cuomo and Gina Raimondo (both of who might as well be GOPs, considering their cover-ups and thefts). If I was registered to vote in Georgia, I'd vote for her and give her a chance to prove....

Barack Obama handed the media a huge challenge this morning. How will media cover his speech — how will a simplifying, sound-bite, conventional-wisdom-loving media deal with his speech, his sermon, on race and understanding and America?
Go listen to his whole speech (not yet on the web). It's full of the complex dynamic that is America and its history. He starts with his view of the Constitution as a living document, one that was signed with slavery and the slave trade still legal but that had the hope embedded in it of liberty and justice for all. A flawed document from a flawed and human country that had within it the way to transcend those flaws.
That alone is a challenge for the media to deal with — let alone the audience.
His sermon looked at himself, his minister, his campaign and his country and his hopes and his country's hopes and flaws — as an unfolding story, a story in motion. Pinning his views down in a sound bite is like catching a butterfly and pinning it to a board. It's no longer alive and flying. This is partly why the spoken word is such a powerful way to connect human to human.
Let's see what the media does with this — to me — uplifting and educational and brave speech.

I wasn't feeling very motivated to cook last night, but you gotta eat! I was able to whip this together without much effort. It's always good to have an "emergency" recipe that doesn't involve a lot of preparation, and this is one of my go-to's. A simple 5 ingredient recipe that you can alter based on your taste.
The Signature Ingredients
- 1 can of corn kernels
- 1 can of crushed tomatoes
- 1 can of black beans
- 1 can of re fried beans
- 1 can/carton of stock… preferably chicken stock, but veggie stock can be used as well
Empty the ingredients into a pot and heat it for about 10 minutes on medium high heat, stirring occasionally. Then serve.
The reason I call this "Nacho Soup" is due to the other bits and pieces that I add in post. A handful of grated cheese, and a handful of corn chips which you can throw in whole or crumble them in. On this particular night, I added some leftover guacamole (another recipe to add if anyone is keen for it) and chopped black olives.
This particular batch served 4 dishes and Owen was able to enjoy some for lunch today. Despite my love for this recipe, I rarely get the opportunity to whip it together since Owen has no love for it. But today, he demanded it! I'm hoping this continues on in the future 😉

Years in the Hairdressing Industry: Nineteen Years
What is your favorite thing about the Hairdressing Industry?
I love that Hairdressing is a very creative career. I love that hairdressing is always people focused.
What is one of your Hairdressing best moments?
Doing Celebrities hair! I have been lucky enough to cut Keanu Reeves and Scarlett Johanssons hair. That was a real highlight for me.
Before becoming a Tutor, what were you doing?
I did a stint of Audio Engineering in Canada – when I came back to NZ I was working in a highly regarded Hair Salon.
Who are your Hairdressing Inspirations?
Derek Elvy – a brilliant New Zealand Hairdresser from one of Wellingtons top salons, Buoy. I love Patrick Cameron and of course, Jane Wilde.
If you could give one piece of advice for Hair over the Autumn months, what would this be?
I feel that hair for Autumn 2016 is going to be rich and deep in colour with a new take on splash lights if you are wanting it a bit lighter. Cuts are moving towards a bold, blunt and defined design with textured interior sections on long hair. With a big influence of asymmetric styles for shorter hair!
What do you love most about training up and coming Hairstylists?
I love being a mentor and inspiring my students. Its an amazing feeling when you give them the stills they need to become an outstanding Hair Stylist.
When I am not at the Academy – You will find me …
I love hanging out and spending time with my 8 year old son. He lives in Whangarei, so I always love spending time with him. I enjoy relaxing, heading to the Cinema and I do some DJing work on the weekends, which I really enjoy too.
My favorite restaurant is?
Tanuki's Cave in Auckland CBD! I love Japanese food!
What advice would you give to someone who is looking at studying the Level 3 Salon Support and/or Level 4 Emerging Stylist Qualifications?
Be willing to work hard in your classes. Your heart and soul needs to breathe Hairdressing. I think it is important as well as doing your course, to have a part time Junior Role in a salon to gain extra hands on experience to take you to the next level!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and The Israel Museum in Yerushalayim have jointly acquired a 15th-century handwritten and illuminated Rambam, they announced today.
The Rambam is the second of a two-volume manuscript featuring six large illustrations plus 32 smaller images and marginal decorations. The first volume is housed in the Vatican Library The two institutions said they would share the manuscript on a rotating basis.
This Rambam was created in 1457 in the style of Northern Italian Renaissance miniature painting. It was restored at the conservation lab of the Israel Museum, where it has been on loan since 2007 and on public view since 2010.

NCCN Guidelines for Patients® | Lung Cancer - Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
45 NCCN Guidelines for Patients ® : Lung Cancer – Non-Small Cell, 2018 The images will be transferred to a treatment planning computer. Your lung and other organs will be seen on the scan. This information will show your radiation oncologist where to direct the radiation. After the treatment sites are set, your skin will be marked for treatment sessions. Your skin will be marked with a felt pen. Sometimes, set-up marks are made with tiny permanent tattoos. Photos of your set up will be taken. The marks and photos will be used to position you for daily treatments. After simulation, your radiation team will further plan your treatment. Plans will be made by viewing your scans on the treatment planning computer. Your radiation oncologist will work closely with a dosimetrist. They will plan the best dose, number and shape of radiation beams, and number of treatments. Your plan will be designed to treat the cancer while sparing normal tissue. Set-up session Once your treatment plan is made, a set-up session will be needed. This session is sometimes called "port film" day or dress rehearsal. The set-up session occurs in the treatment room. The radiation therapists will help place you in position on the treatment table. The set-up marks will be used for positioning. X-rays of the treatment fields will be taken and viewed by your doctor. These x-rays (or port films) are not for treatment. Your doctor will approve treatment when your set-up is correct. Treatment sessions Before treatment, your hospital gown will be lowered off your chest. You will then be placed into position. If a body mold was made, you will lie on it on top of the treatment table. You must be in the same position that was approved at the set-up session. X-rays of your chest will be taken to assure this. Conformal techniques are used for treating lung cancer. These techniques shape the radiation dose to the cancer site to spare healthy tissue. Which technique you receive depends on multiple factors. These factors include where the cancer is in your body. Another factor is what techniques your cancer center has to offer. The types of conformal radiation include: 3D-CRT ( three - d imensional c onformal r adiation t herapy) delivers a photon beam that matches the shape of the target. The machine will move around you to target the tumor. Treatment is completed in about 6 weeks. IMRT ( i ntensity- m odulated r adiation t herapy) is a form of 3D-CRT. It further modifies the beam's intensity during treatment. SABR ( s tereotactic ab lative r adiotherapy) treats cancer with very precise, high-dose photon beams. Receiving SABR is much like other conformal techniques except treatment is finished in about 1 to 2 weeks. SRS ( s tereotactic r adio s urgery) treats cancer in the brain with precise, high-dose photon beams. This treatment is known by CyberKnife and Gamma Knife. Treatment is completed in 1 to 2 weeks. WBRT ( w hole b rain r adiation t herapy) uses small amounts of radiation to treat the entire brain. Treatment is completed in 2 weeks. Proton therapy treats cancer with proton beams that deliver radiation mostly within the tumor. Treatment is completed in about 6 weeks. A lung tumor is harder to target than some other tumors in the body. This is because breathing causes the tumor to move. IGRT ( i mage- g uided 5 Overview of cancer treatments Radiation therapy

The Error Multiplied
The Majority in Zaheer-ud-Din relied heavily on the American Supreme Court and cited some dubiously relevant cases from American jurisdiction. The American cases referred to in Zaheer-ud-Din were not cited by either party and constituted nobody's brief. The court canvassed these propositions suo moto, with the observation that:
"We have referred to the above view from such countries, which claim to be the secular and liberal and not religious or fundamentalists." 01
And approving the judgment of the Lahore High Court observed:
"we highly appreciate that the learned judge relied, in this respect, on precedents from the jurisdiction, which are either secular or claim to be the champions of human rights." 02
The history of religious persecution and religious freedom in America and Pakistan have many parallels and Pakistani Courts may justifiably draw on the American experience. The American law is that religious practice may be regulated on the grounds of secular regulations and clear and present danger. The expression adopted in some judgments is neutral purpose'. Law restricting or regulating some religious practice may be validated if the purpose of the law is neutral and secular and touches upon the religious practice only incidentally. No law can be validated if the purpose of law is to curtail religious freedom.
If the Learned Judge found it necessary to satisfy the world conscience and refer to foreign jurisdiction on the subject, then it was preeminently essential to consider the case law in depth. Any such effort however is sadly lacking. Out of the 6 cases cited from the American jurisdiction 2 cases are more than 100 years old while other 2 are as old as 50 years. No effort was made to discover how concepts have been refined, elucidated and enriched during the last 100 years. The latest cases on the subject of religious freedom from American jurisdiction were not examined at all. The secretarial assistance received by the Pakistan Supreme Court on the American case law appears to be very poor indeed. The cases have been cited out of context and have been misapplied.

Bridget Scarr wears many hats. Besides being a writer and creative producer, she is also a singer-songwriter. As the Executive Producer at Colibri Studios, Bridget Scarr is the head of content development, strategy as well as partnerships. Her role entails the daily development and enhanced collaboration with international broadcasters, creative talent and project partners to come up with ideas and ensure their implementation.
Bridget Scarr loves to develop compelling content for many different platforms. She produces content for television, digital platforms, virtual and augmented reality, as well as for interactive exhibition. Over the years, Scarr has attracted an enormous audience that identifies with her projects both at intellectual and emotional levels.
Her love for all forms of content is built on the belief that it has the power to alter mindsets and promptly transform the world. She believes that creativity is a dominant force and can at times be used as a change agent. She terms creativity as her savior (alongside her partner and son) explaining that it got her out of despair. Bridget believes that creativity gave her a personal outlet, a space for fun, and the liberty to express herself.
In a recent interview with Ideamensch, Bridget Scarr revealed a few things about herself. When asked about Colibri Studios, she said that it was born out of her desire to find a home for her ideation. In her previous career as a TV producer, she mostly dwelled on bringing the ideas of other people to life. When she came up with Colibri, she was desperately in need of a career shift and transition. She feels home at Colibri Studios. It is the single most places where all her ideas come to life – irrespective of the nature of the content.
Bridget Scarr begins her day with meditation. Besides getting her energized, it helps her to stay focused throughout the day. She then takes a light breakfast with her family, before making a brief commute to the office. She dedicates three hours (9-12) to research and development of original content. She then heads home, relaxes and also reads industry news. She usually enjoy lunch with her family every day because it gives them an opportunity to spend quality time together.
From 2 pm, she follows up on emails with sales agents and co-producers, reads a book, watches TV or looks for some alternative project inspiration. In the evening, Bridget and her partner take their son for a walk and spend some time playing in the park, before having a light dinner. Upon tucking him in bed, she either gets back to work or watches a new TV series after which she takes a meditative bath, and then heads to bed.
If she were to advise her younger self, she would insist on the importance of eliminating fear, trusting one's journey, and believing in oneself and God-given gifts. She emphasizes the importance of people being grateful for everything they have and appreciating their loved ones. She treasures the beauty of meditation, being free and loving unconditionally.

Meryl Streep works in a gorgeous bakery
that's gorgeous because the Director "It's Complicated" was Nancy Meyers who always has the most tastefully designed sets in all of her movies.

With only seven days left before Christmas, it's time for my annual "Glen Burnie Women's Guide To Avoiding Holiday Stress" soon to be outin paperback. A wonderful gift idea, if I do say so myself.
Now we all know someone who may be organized enough to make her own Christmas gifts from the dried herbs in her garden, decorate her home like 18th-century England for the Garden Club Tour and still remember to put mascara on both eyes.
But do we need that kind of pressure?
Christmas should be a time to enjoy one another's company. To celebrate a promise.
So hereare a few suggestions to help you find time to have a little fun.
* Cookie Making: Go to Mom's Bakery on Baltimore-Annapolis Boulevard, and buy boxes of cookies. Go home, put a baking sheet on the dish drainer, boil some water laced with a touch of cinnamon and hide the cookie boxes in the laundry room -- after all, no one ever goes in there but you.

This is a unique museum where you can learn about the history of witches in the 16th and 17th century, and the weigh test given to those accused of witchcraft. While visiting this museum, you can undergo the weigh test yourself. If you pass, you will receive a certificate as proof to your friends and family that you are not a witch. Currently, they are planning an application for nomination on the Unesco World Heritage List. Only the main floor with the original witch weights and gift shop is wheelchair accessible. The video and upstairs information is not accessible for wheelchairs, but you can have a staff member give you a brief summary. The weighing test on the original weights from 1482 may or may not be accessible depending on individual circumstances. The museum is best reached by car or taxi. Accessible Travel Netherlands can arrange a taxi for you if needed. If going by public transportation, Oudewater has no train station, but is reachable by bus from the larger surrounding cities. Be sure to call ahead to ensure all buses you will be traveling on are accessible.

MNX Global selects Descartes' solution to comply with US ACAS program
MNX Global Logistics has selected Canada-based Descartes Systems Group's cloud-based solution to comply with the new US screening requirements for air cargo imports.
The solution, dubbed Descartes Air Cargo Advance ScreeningAvangrid (Descartes ACASAvangrid), will help MNX to handle the new mandatory advanced security filing requirements for air cargo imports.
MNX Global Logistics chief operating officer Tom Belmont said: "We serve customers in the life sciences, medical device, aviation, and technology sectors with challenging requirements for time-critical and secure-sensitive shipments.
"Descartes provides us with the technology platform to display innovation leadership, ensure cargo security, and lead the industry in standards for screening and moving high-value shipments around the world."
Air Cargo Advance Screening (ACAS) has been created by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to boost security and provide visibility to cargo before it's in the air.
The new security screening program needs data to be submitted before loading of US-headed cargo at a non-US airport. Recently, ACAS has been made mandatory for air forwarders and carriers after the conclusion of the voluntary compliance ACAS pilot program.
According to Descartes, the Descartes ACAS solution gathers the necessary data elements, validates the data format and sends it to CBP inside the required timeframes.
The logistics software provider further revealed that the cloud-based solution utilizes the Descartes Global Logistics NetworkAvangrid (Descartes GLNAvangrid) to collect house bill information directly from the enterprise systems of air forwarders. It then files the data directly to CBP automatically, thereby increasing data accuracy and timeliness.
Descartes global logistics network VP Scott Sangster said: "Along with MNX, we've been involved with the ACAS pilot since its inception, and Descartes' solution has been built in close collaboration with CBP, TSA and leading, early-adopting air forwarders."
"We're pleased to help MNX meet filing requirements for ACAS."
In another development, Descartes acquired certain assets of Velocity Mail for $25.5m. Velocity Mail is an electronic transportation network that offers mail and parcel shipment scanning and tracking solutions to global air carriers.

If you are lucky enough to have a camera that is lightweight, don't forget to take it with you everywhere. If you are looking to decorate a space, start by taking pictures of things that you like. You may find these in friend's houses, National Trust properties (always check their photo-taking policies first) or on holiday.
With most computers and software nowadays you can catalogue your pictures into an electronic scrapbook. I have a folder on the desktop of my computer called 'inspirations' which contains folders labelled according to the rooms in my house. Although, of course, you can organise your folders anyway you choose, as long as it works for you.
I often go through theses pictures and narrow them down to the style that I actually want to recreate. It's very easy to fall in love with something straight away but oddly when you look at it the second time round, you don't like it quite so much. I think I want to paint my doors in a brave colour that I saw in a shop, but I know I will have to go back for a second and third look before I buy the tin of paint and get started!

Part of doing something is listening
Time is a whirlwind. So many special things have happened in the last week- and I can barely believe it's already been a month since I've been here. In the last week, I:
- Went to an interfaith conversation last Tuesday evening (March 11) at the Ahmadi mosque in Kababir, a community here in Haifa
- Visited family friends and their adorable little kids
- Flew to Turkey on Thursday for three incredible days- got to see my boyfriend and other friends from W&M, another who has been studying in Scotland for the last two years, and met some other really cool people in the hours that I wasn't with my friends
- Got back late Saturday night just in time for Purim (basically the equivalent of Halloween here, except people really go all out)
- Went back to the Ahmadi mosque on Tuesday to have tea and talk with the Secretary General of the Ahmadi Muslim Community here, who also runs three different projects: one is a program for conflict resolution in schools and workplaces, another is to reintegrate teens who have been incarcerated, and the third is to help girls who are survivors of domestic violence. Just all of the things I have ever wanted to do with my life…he is inspiring and I am looking forward to learning about more of his work
- Finally was just in Haifa this weekend- went out, walked around Carmel Center, which is restaurant central, and found an amazing hummus place and tried to settle in a bit more here…I realized I'd been exploring so many other places that I hadn't had a chance to just enjoy where I'm living (it's hard though since we're on top of a mountain and have to take buses into town)
- (and yes, between all of those things, I went to class, too)
It's all a little overwhelming. Actually, to be completely honest, it's very overwhelming. Everything here stretches my mind in different directions, and my heart a little too, and my levels of exhaustion. It's hard being away from people you love. But I'm also finding things I love about being here, and people I love here. I love about having this kind of time to explore and be independent and free, too. I've never felt this kind of freedom before.
I love being able to meet different kinds of people. At the interfaith conversation, I met people from around the world-Focolare Christians, Ahmadi Muslims, Jews from here, London, and the US (I also went with some other girls from the International School here), and others who didn't specify their backgrounds but just wanted to be part of the conversation- this week we talked about faith and modernity. We learned a bit about the Focolare and Ahmadi movements, which are, at their essence, focused on love. Someone asked why we never hear about them- the response: "to cut down a tree makes a lot of noise, but to let it grow is quiet." What I found particularly striking about this group of people sitting in the room with me was that everyone wanted to listen. You don't find that often- it seems that everyone always wants to talk, make people understand where they are coming from, and that they have to agree on everything or else they can't be friends. Here, that wasn't the case. People simply wanted to hear stories, experiences, and opinions of others, and share their own. No one was trying to change anyone. That was really refreshing. I was sitting next to a woman who, when I met her and shook her hand, just held my hand for a few extra moments. It caught me off guard- we are so easily caught up in moving through the motions and not fully being in certain moments, but she took the time. And for the next couple hours, we all took the time. "If listening doesn't lead to love, then there is a bigger problem with humanity," she said as we wrapped up our discussion. Little did I realize I was going to meet some other really special people later that week, too.
On a water taxi from Eminonu to Kadikoy (from the European side of Istanbul to the Asian side), I decided to move to sit outside so I could take pictures off the side of the boat. There were birds flying along with us that I was pretty focused on getting a good shot of- my camera keeps me company in lonely moments. The guy sitting beside me pointed out that if I looked a little higher and past the birds and the Bosporus, I could see the beautiful skyline of mosques, too. Then we started talking about how we each ended up in Istanbul- he is from Syria, and I was the first Jewish person he'd ever met. We talked about politics, the conflicts, our backgrounds, and hopes, and goals…and Seinfeld. He told me he thinks we have more in common in some respects than he does with other Syrians. I met his friend, a woman from Istanbul who studied at the Hebrew University. Over fish, while sitting on a restaurant on the Bosporus, we listened to each other and asked questions. He asked me if I believed that these kinds of conversations would do anything for peace. I hope so. I believe that they are the small steps, that if we take the time to listen and make human connections with each other and just try to learn how to love each other other a little more, maybe we can get somewhere.
Sometimes it feels like there's so much to do here, because the news always seems to be talking about violence erupting or hate or prejudice or war or death- the media doesn't always focus on the life and respect and peace that is here, too. And we always hear about so many people trying to work to "fix" it all. So then I feel like I have to fix things, or else what am I doing with my time here? I don't want to miss out on an opportunity to learn or go somewhere or do something, and I feel like I need to plan it all out and know what I believe and think about what I'm going to say.
But I always talk about how the stars ground me. Which is a little ironic, I know, because they're up in the sky and they make me feel like a tiny little dot on this whirling ball. But, like I've said before, they put things in perspective. Sometimes we see only a few, or just the moon, or the sky is black, or it glitters with millions of pinpricks of light. But from anywhere we stand on earth, anywhere we come from, they are always up there, and they are always beautiful. And when we look up, we are listening too, even though it's quieter than what we're used to listening for. I'm learning a lot about how the earth makes me feel more settled even in really unfamiliar places, and how many different experiences others are having under the same sky, and how it's okay to wonder and question and feel small and a little overwhelmed. We all do. But we also have this really special capacity to just listen, and sometimes that's all we need.
"Part of doing something is listening. We are listening. To the sun. To the stars. To the wind." (-Madeline L'Engle)
Today, after hiking down Mount Carmel to the beach, I just sat listening to the waves and sand and the sunshine and laughter- and it was perfect.

Contrary to the position of Governor Ayodele Fayose that President Muhammadu Buhari had abandoned Ekiti State since he came to power, a former Senate Deputy Chief Whip, Gbenga Aluko, yesterday said the 24 appointments recently allotted to the state negated the governor's position.
Aluko also assured aspirants on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that Buhari won't rig the Ekiti State governorship primary in favour of any aspirant.
Aluko, who has been Buhari's political ally since 2003, said he knew the country's number one citizen was too disciplined and cautious to rig the primary in favour of any aspirant.
Speaking in Ode Ekiti during an interaction with 2,600 delegates across the 177 wards, Aluko said the appointments of 24 Ekiti APC chieftains into federal boards, agencies and parastatals by Buhari, confirmed that he has tremendous respect for the state in particular and southwest in general.
"President Buhari loves Ekiti and what the PDP has been saying that the state has not gained anything from his government was rather nonsensical.
"Ekiti never enjoyed such massive appointments since 1999; so we have to be grateful to President Buhari," he said.
He said he had traversed all the wards to meet with the delegates to sell his agenda for the party and Ekiti and that he could boast of over 50 per cent supports that propitiously puts him in a good stead to be able to defeat any contestant.
"I have been President Buhari's political associate since 2003 when it was not even political safe and wise to support any other party other than the Alliance for Democracy in the South-west. I knew him to be too disciplined and those thinking of his interference in Ekiti primary should bury such thought.
"We did primaries in Edo, Ondo and Anambra and I think the party tried his best to ensure transparency and whoever thinks he will be imposed is wasting his time.
"Aside from this, I am the only aspirant who has built a vibrant industry in Ekiti. The industry worth over N1.5 billion generates jobs for over 100 youths."
On Fayemi's rumoured governorship ambition, Aluko said: "It is still at the realm of rumour and I don't deal with conjecture. Fayemi has not openly declared, so it is still a rumour.
"Fayemi is a former governor and now a Minister and I don't think he will be afraid to declare openly that he is interested and if he eventually declares, we will all go into the race as one big lovely family," he said.
Aluko exuded confidence that his party would wrest power from Fayose in the coming election.
"Dr. Fayemi presented himself for a reelection in 2014 and was deprived of that right, because the government of that time didn't give a level playing ground but the coming election will be different and APC will record a landslide victory," he boasted.

DVCPRO HD vs. Sony HDCAM
Hi there,
I was just wondering, if we wanted to shoot a feature film that was going to be showcased in various film festivals and we wanted the final out-put to be the closest to film as possible.
Which one do you prefer to be using as your main filming camera?
DVCPRO HD Panasonic AJ-HDX400 HD which is offered at a very good price or the Sony HDCAM 750??
Sony is much more expensive, but is there a reason for it being that expensive, will the Panasonic camera give me the same results??? Or by far the Sony HD 750 is a much better camera than the Panasoic HD???
Anybody worked with both cameras or has any clue about both???

"we wanted the final out-put to be the closest to film as possible."
neither camera .. they are INTERLACE !!!
rent a progressive camera .. look around - you'll find a deal ...
IMO shoot interlace as lost resort ..
many festivals just want digibeta to screen ...

The 750 will do 25p, at least in the UK. It is a really nice piece of kit. I think that the Pany will do progressive too but I don't believe either do 24p. I have no experience of a HDX400.

Thanks a lot guys for your reply!
If progressive scan is the way to go, then which camera brand and model do you recommed to achieve a feature film that comes the closest to film???
Any recommendations?
Thanks again...

The Varicam shoots in Progressive mode. 720p24, 720p30, etc. It is a progressive frame. As does the HVX-200...but the Varicam has a better lens and CCDS.
But DVCPRO HD is a pretty highly compressed format. Not sure how much HDCAM is, but I am guessing it has better compression, since many places use it as a delivery format. DVCPRO HD is not accepted as a delivery format, acquistion only.

Or you want to mean that a progressive scan one like HVX is a better option?
(and I'm not sure if HDX400 isn't it progressive scan as well...)

DvcProHD = ~100Mb/sec
The Color space is 4:2:2
The image to tape is 1280x1080i (DVCProHD also does 720p, btw)
This is a compression ratio of about 6.7:1
HDCAM = ~140Mb/sec
The Color Space is 3:1:1
The Image to tape is 1440x1080 (I *think* this is 1080i, and it does 720p. No idea if it does 1080p, but 1080p at 140Mb/sec won't look as good as 720p I would imagine)
This gives a compression ratio of 7.1:1
So, HDCam actually has a higher compression ratio even though it has a higher bandwidth because the image has more pixels and a greater color space
Then there is HDCam-SR which is 4:4:4 and bandwidth = ~440Mb/sec
There is also (on the lower end) XDCam-HD, which has lower-end specs than HDCam
I would guess that since both can do progressive, that really it would depend on which your cameraman can work with better. Go to the rental place and see if you can do some test scenes there and look at the footage and see which you like better. Ultimately it's not which is theoretically more capable of producing more film-like images, its the synergy between the camera & operator and what the operator can get out of the camera & which the operator feels more comfortable width.
But I could be wrong...

Florida's citrus growers have a long list of pesticides from which to choose -- more than 75.
And many more pesticides have been approved by the federal government for use on other farm crops, from fresh vegetable to grain and tobacco.
Florida's citrus growers have a long list of pesticides from which to choose -- more than 75.
And many more pesticides have been approved by the federal government for use on other farm crops, from fresh vegetable to grain and tobacco.
Although Florida does not rank among the top 10 states in farm acreage, the state does rank among the top five in volume of pesticides used, according to estimates by independent analysts and industry experts.
It is the result in part of the state's hot, humid weather, and absence of long winter freezes that keep insects in check in colder climates, according to Perry Sparkman, executive director of the Florida Agricultural Research Institute in Winter Haven. The institute is a trade association representing about 125 fertilizer and agricultural chemical companies.
Chemical sprays to combat insects and disease cost citrus growers in Polk County, the state's largest citrus grower, at least $15 million a year, estimated Tom Oswalt, a citrus specialist with the Polk County Agricultural Extension Service.
The term pesticide encompasses insecticides, fungicides and herbicides. Insecticides are used against insects and invertebrate pests; fungicides are used against plant diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses or protozoa; and herbicides are used against weeds.
Although Florida often is cited as the top user of farm pesticides in the nation, the state more likely ranks fourth or fifth, according to Sparkman.
''I don't know how it got started that we were No. 1, but California would have to be first by a long ways,'' Sparkman said. ''Texas would be second just because of the tremendous acreage that they have.''
Herman Delvo, a leading pesticide expert for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, agreed that Florida probably ranks among the top five in pesticide use and in the top three for insecticide.
Statistics on volume of total pesticide use, however, are not tracked by the USDA or individual states, Delvo said. He said the last federally sponsored survey of Florida pesticide use on citrus was taken in 1977. It showed that citrus growers used about 32.5 million pounds of pesticide annually -- 25 million in insecticides, 4 million in fungicides and 3.5 million in herbicides.
A survey of Florida vegetable growers showed that they used about 4.5 million pounds of pesticide in 1979, Delvo said, about 1.9 million of fungicides, almost 1 million pounds of insecticides and the remainder in herbicides, nematicides and various tanks mixes.
Florida's total pesticide use has dropped significantly in the past decade, according to Sparkman, because the state has lost about a fifth of its citrus acreage to freezes and because new chemicals are applied at smaller rates than older chemicals.
Devo said the trend toward less use of pesticides in terms of volume has been under way nationally for at least 10 years. A 33-state survey of major farm crops taken by the USDA in 1971, 1976 and 1982, for example, showed total pesticide use fell from 126.3 million pounds of active ingredient to about 70 million pounds during that time period. Additives, water or other mixing ingredients are added to active ingredients to arrive at total volume actually delivered at the farm site. The active ingredient generally ranges from 10 percent to 50 percent or more of the total.
Devo said the major reason behind the sharp drop in pesticide use was the development of synthetic pyrethroids and other advanced chemicals in the past 15 years that are more effective and are applied at lower rates. Pyrethroids are man-made versions of pyrethrin, a naturally occuring pesticide extracted from flowers.
''Cotton was the crop that showed the biggest nose dive'' in terms of pesticide use, Devo said. ''In 1977, when the synthetic pyrethroids came through for use, they were applying them on cotton at the rate of a one-tenth of a pound (per acre) compared with toxaphene and methyl parathion, two commonly used pesticides, which they had been using at the rate of about 2 pounds an acre.''
Sparkman said that, through the use of integrated pest-management programs, such as crop rotation, development of more effective chemicals and by implementing more biological controls, such as the introduction of helpful insects that control harmful insects, pesticide use will continue to plummet. ''I don't see any direction but down,'' Sparkman said.
