Battle of the Sexes
Sat-Sun early show: 1:00 Daily showtimes: 6:30
The electrifying 1973 tennis match between World number one Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) and ex-champ and serial hustler Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell) was billed as "The Battle of the Sexes and became one of the most-watched televised sports events of all time. The match caught the zeitgeist and sparked a global conversation on gender equality, spurring on the feminist movement. Trapped in the media glare, King and Riggs were on opposite sides of a binary argument, but off-court each was fighting more personal and complex battles. With a supportive husband urging her to fight the Establishment for equal pay, the fiercely private King was also struggling to come to terms with her own sexuality, while Riggs gambled his legacy and reputation in a bid to relive the glories of his past. Together, Billie and Bobby served up a cultural spectacle that resonated far beyond the tennis courts and animated the discussions between men and women in bedrooms and boardrooms around the world. Directed by Jonathan Dayton, Valerie Faris; Also starring Elisabeth Shue, Sarah Silverman, Alan Cumming, Andrea Riseborough, Bill Pullman. Rated PG-13 for some sexual content and partial nudity/121m.

theorists and their theories, it may be well to
make something like a stock-taking survey of
underground London. Much capital has been
sunk, year after year; much more will have to
be sunk; and many ratepayers may like to hear
in a gossiping way what they have got for their
money. The task of collecting this information
and setting it forth is not quite so agreeable as
a tour in Iceland; but some harmless drudges
must do this parochial work, as some men must
black boots, empty dustholes, and sweep crossings.
It is good sometimes to put the great
epic, the great picture, or the great statue, aside,
and to walk round the parish pump with a
desire to know something about it.
This subject, therefore, shall be resumed next
IN the spring, according to Mr. Tennyson,
the wanton lapwing gets himself another nest,
a brighter iris changes on the burnished dove,
and a young man's fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of love. These are unanswerable
facts; but here is another vernal incident,
which, probably because Locksley Hall was
written before the institution of the volunteer
movement, has been unnoticed by the poet. In
the spring the gentlemen attached to the
various rifle corps, whose ardour has been chilled
by the dreary winter, and whose time has been
consumed in festivity, suddenly recal the fact
that the eyes of their country are earnestly fixed
on them for its defence. I am proud to say
that we of the Grimgribbers were, theoretically,
early in the field. No one who knows Captain
de Tite Strongbow will imagine that he would
have allowed us to be laggards. This
indefatigable young man has never relaxed in his
exertions. After the presentation of our bugle,
recorded in a previous number of this journal,*
the ardour of the members thawed, and the
general voice resolved itself into a-dieu; that is
to say, half the men went to the Continent, and
the other half to the seaside. Before we broke
up, Captain Strongbow called a battalion drill,
when the prevalent disorder showed itself in an
eruption of moustaches of a week's growth, and
in the bulging of Continental Bradshaws from
uniform pockets. Strongbow noticed this, and,
as I may express it in the language of the
Wardour-street Elizabethan drama, "advantaged
himself of the occasion." He put us
through some of the most diificult and most
perspiration-causing movements in the Field
Exercise book, and then, having formed us into
a square, and faced us inward, he solemnly
addressed us. He said that he grieved to find
a general disposition for a holiday, a disposition
by no means in accordance with that solemn
pledge which we had given when we voluntarily
placed our services at her Majesty's disposal.
He mildly hinted that any one declining to
attend parade or drill when summoned, was
guilty of perjury in its grossest form; and he
asked us where we expected to go to? Through
the dead silence which followed this appeal, the
voice of the ill-conditioned private J. Miller was
heard, suggesting "Margate;" but the, ribaldry
had effect on none but a few hardened scoffers.
However, it was useless attempting to stop
the threatened exodus; and, after suggesting
that those who visited the Continent should
keep a sharp eye upon the foreign troops "with
whom they might be called upon to cross
bayonets" (an idea which made a profound
impression on private Pruffle); and that they
should take measures for becoming generally
acquainted with the defensive works of such foreign
fortresses as they might happen to come across;
and after recommending the stay-at-homes to
attach themselves to the garrison of the sea-
port town where they might be staying, and
pass an easy month of relaxation in attending
three drills a day and perusing the Field Exercise
book in the evening; Captain Strongbow
dismissed us with a benediction.
* All the Year Round, vol. iii. p. 499.
I do not believe that any one, save Strongbow
himself (who went first to Hythe and then
to Shorncliffe, and passed the remainder of the
autumn in endeavouring to improve the
Armstrong gun), paid the smallest attention to the
recommendation. Pruffle was seen with a wide-
awake hat and a telescope, on Southend pier.
Lobjoit broke three colts and his own leg
among the Yorkshire spinneys. Skull went to
Worthing, and fell into a chronic state of sleep
and seaweed. Private Miller, though he
certainly visited Aldershott, only went for one night
to assist at the military theatre in an amateur
performance. We all went away, and did
cathedrals, and mountain passes, and ruined
abbeys, and lay on beaches, and swam, and
mooned, and enjoyed ourselves, and by the time
we returned to Grimgribber, we had nearly
forgotten the existence of our noble corps.
The Quakers were in ecstacies; they knew it;
had they not prophesied it? "Friend, did I
not tell thee?" &c. &c. All of which so roused
the ire of De Tite Strongbow, that one day early
in October, every dead wall, tree, and post in
Grimgribber blossomed with a blue and red
announcement of a "Parade on the Common on
Saturday next."
The day came and the hour, but not the men;
that is to say, there was not a very great muster.
Parties of two and three came straggling up the
lane, evidently intending merely to look on;
but they were spied by the videttes posted by
Strongbow at available situations, and immediately
hailed by that energetic officer in stentorian
tones and appealing phrases, all of which
commenced, "Hallo! you sirs!" The persons
addressed, recognising the voice, generally
feigned total deafness, looked round in a vacant
manner, and commenced a retreat; but Strongbow
was by their side before they had gone
three paces, and by coaxing, wheedling, and
bullying, induced most of them to proceed to
the Common, so that at last two-thirds of our
total number were present.
That day will be for ever remembered by the

A charity backed by the Swedish government has launched a campaign denouncing the assimilation of migrants and telling natives to "integrate" with foreign "cultures and languages".
"It's time to realise the new Swedes will claim their space" an ad insists, describing the Nordic nation as a "safe space" for migrants and concluding: "There is no way back. Sweden will never be like it was."

Since our sweet rainbow son, Collins, would turn three in a few months we started to try for a second rainbow baby. So much had changed in pregnancy knowledge. This time, we had information about how to track my temperature for the best time to conceive. It was like a full time job getting pregnant. For us, it sure hadn't been easy in the past. The try and wait game began. Achieving a pregnancy positive for us had come down to a science. Nothing romantic about it! It was work and that in itself is a sad story. This time our science worked and by January we had an announcement! Baby due in September, around Labor Day! Phase 1 had been accomplished, conception! Phase 2, the actual pregnancy would prove to have its problems.
I was having my bridge club meet at my home the first Thursday in March of 1980. I had been sprucing up the house a little and cooking a dessert for the group. The card tables and chairs had to be set up. James did that part, plus give Collins a bath and get him ready for bed. After the girls arrived around 8:00, we talked, then started playing bridge. I had some strange feelings in my abdomen, but kept right on chatting and playing bridge. It didn't seem like much. However, while serving dessert, I began having some mild contractions, like Braxton Hicks. I sat and calmly finished out the night. We usually stopped about 11:00. After everyone left, I was putting 2 of the chairs away. James had gone to bed. Why I felt compelled to put those chairs up is beyond me. Just plain stupidity on my part because it was at that point I felt a real contraction. I stopped putting anything away and went to bed to relax. Maybe there wouldn't be anymore. Everything stopped and I felt okay. False alarm, but I would call the doctor first thing in the morning! Stupid me. Why didn't I just either go to bed at the first sign of feeling strange or either call my doctor???? The girls could have handled bridge without me. I don't have a good answer for my actions. I just didn't want to go to the hospital, call my MIL over to stay the night with Collins over a false alarm. Since when did I have false alarms? When it comes to having a baby, easy isn't in my vocabulary.
The next morning I went to see my doctor. We now had a new fantastic OB/GYN in town so I didn't have to drive an hour to see him as I had to with Collins.
Upon checking things out, he told me that I was three cm dilated. I was immediately hospitalized and put on strict bed rest. Further test revealed I had some vitamin deficiencies. This was my third pregnancy in just a few years. I guess my body was just depleted in some areas.
I don't remember how long I was in the hospital, but Collins' birthday was the 22nd of March and I had already sent out the invitations. I was in the hospital on his birthday. My friends called the guest list and canceled the party until the end of the month. I was told by my doctor that we had to keep this baby girl or boy inside of me until at least the end of May. MAY? I wasn't due until early September! How could my baby survive outside of me in May? I never did go into labor, so no drugs were used to stop my few contractions. Doctors orders were for me to get household help and no lifting. Collins couldn't come jump into my lap anymore. No more laundry lifting or lifting groceries. I just had to be careful.
I was put on a special diet to build up my body some more. Ladies, I had been pregnant for the most parts of 1974, 75, 76, 77 and now 1980.
The rest of the pregnancy went smoothly. I even had my first ever sonogram done. That was so special. I made it to May. Now May is a month that I call my sad or just plain bad luck month. James Collins, Jr was stillborn May 2, 1975. I made it through May with no pregnancy problems. I started breathing easier in June, but never let my guard down. Summer turned out to be a nice time. I was enjoying my growing belly and anticipating getting the new baby here. My biggest problem at the moment was to prepare for a girl or boy? We still couldn't find out the sex of the baby until birth. As long as she or he was born healthy, I really didn't care. This baby was carrying low and sometimes I felt like he would just fall out! We attended for the first time Lamaze classes! I loved it! finally, some real birthing advice! I did practice my breathing! I was going to be ready for natural childbirth this time. Labor with Collins had been such a nightmare. He was worth it, but I was going to know about the stages of labor and birth this time! James was going to be allowed in the labor and delivery with me for the first time! This was exciting for us! By August, I was so big! I was ready for this baby to make his/her debut!
As it turned out, I did go into labor in August. I was a few weeks early, but in a safe range. James had a stomach bug, so I had to drive myself to the hospital! He would come as soon as he could! His mother came over to keep Collins. When I arrived at the hospital, they were packed with laboring women! There wasn't a room for me anywhere! Between James' stomach bug and no room for me at the hospital, I would soon realize that I was in for another rough ride.

Forex traders always look for various news releases to make profitable trading decisions. One of the most significant reports is called non-farm payroll. To make the term clear, non-farm payroll stands for the employment data that aims to represent the absolute number of paid U.S. workers. However, employees for the general government, private households, farms and nonprofit organizations are not included in the report.
NFP serves as an economic indicator. Expanding non-farm payrolls sign a growing nation's economy and conversely diminishing payrolls mark a shrinking economy.
Why is it important for currency traders? The NFPs reports are the main drivers of the largest movements of rates in the Foreign Exchange market. In other words, non-farm payroll data causes serious directional moves of all major currencies, especially U.S. dollar. As this data is released on the first Friday of every month, trading this event over the weekend can turn out to be profitable. This is because the general trend is more or less determined. However, we highly recommend you to avoid trading or speculating during the NFPs reports.
Extreme volatility and increased risks
The period right before the NFP report release is already marked with the highest uncertainty causing volatility in the Forex market. During non-farm payrolls reports, this volatility becomes extreme as retail traders do not have a solid data to define the possible outcome of this news release. In such unpredictable short term fluctuations, either technical or fundamental analysis would not provide any sufficient information to justify an open position.
During NFPs currency exchange rates are characterized by large swings or whipsaws. This occurs when the market moves for a few seconds in one direction and then instantly reverses to the completely opposite direction. Although this immense risk might look as the possibility to capitalize on such market movements, for the majority of speculators the premature interpretation of the report will most likely end in enormous losses if not blowing up the whole account.
Slippage and delays in order execution
Another logical reason to avoid trading during NFPs is a considerable slippage. Just to remind the definition, slippage is the difference between the anticipated price of a trade and the actual price at which the trade is executed. Even if you trade with such great brokers as ETX Capital, slippage during non-farm payrolls reports is unavoidable because of the high volatility level in the market. Moreover, the period during NFPs creates serious obstacles for the fast order execution, resulting in substantial delays. Taking into account whipsaws during these hours and a slippage level, chances to lose money on a single trade are quite high.
Wide Spreads
Perhaps one of the main problems during such volatility is that spreads can widen tremendously (up to 20-25 pips), thus leading to increased trading costs. The FX market simply has a massive number of orders to process. Frankly speaking, even ECN and STP brokers are forced to provide wider spreads. However, what they offer is an actual retail market price for your trades.
The Bottom Line
Non-farm payrolls are important for FX traders and can present a real investment opportunity. Nevertheless, you have to make sure that you trade it in the proper way. Considering the reasons provided above, we advise you steer clear from trading Forex during the NFPs.

text: Michele is not only extremely talented and professional but has a wonderful personality! We had several comments about her smile and in general how "sweet" she was to those attending our event. Our event was mostly senior citizens but we had several teenagers there too and they all LOVED the music! Her choice of music was right on and beautifully done! I would most definately recommend her in the future!

Thunder raged. Exhilarated, Blayde smiled as he looked towards Sam. She seemed timid, nervous. But that wouldn't last long, he thought. He'd seen her with her friends. Charisma flowered in her once she became familiar with someone. This was just a first date.
"Wow," he growled with brazen flirtatiousness. "You own that suit."
Sam grinned openly but cast her eyes aside and then upon her newly printed shark skin wetsuit. She ran her finger up and down her forearm, experiencing the unique texture, and grinned again. It felt real. Thunderclap called her attention away from the suit and summoned a chuckle from Blayde.
"Don't worry," he assured her, "once you're underwater, you'll barely notice the weather out here." Blayde gently placed a custom fitted helmet over her head and made sure it sealed tightly to her suit before offering her some gloves. "Remember," he said, pointing to dozens of small cylinders lining the base of the palms. "Use the thrusters sparingly until you get the hang of it. The suits are tough but you'll feel pretty beat up if you shoot yourself into the rocks or out of the water." Blayde laughed. "It's fun to shoot yourself a little out of the water but too much is painful - best not to try it first time around." Sam said nothing. Until his own receiver and helmet were fastened, her voice would be muffled. But she didn't need to speak out loud. Her eyes spoke well enough. She was excited. Blayde failed to hold back a smile as they sparkled.
He couldn't believe he'd landed such a hot date. She barely looked twenty and he was all but certain that was her true age. In reality, he didn't look much older than her but senolytic cocktails had been his regular mistress for decades. Blayde hadn't said anything and she hadn't asked. If the possibility of him being forty years her elder wasn't an issue for her, he certainly wasn't going to bring it up. She was old enough to know some older men played the field the same as their younger counterparts. Besides, he still felt twenty. And usually, that was how he acted too.
Blayde threw on his helmet and offered a few last words of advice while he fastened his gloves. The transmitters were the latest models. His voice sounded through her helmet as if there were no helmets at all. "You've plenty of crystals in your helmet so we can stay underwater until morning but if you start to feel tired or hungry, let me know and we'll bail whenever you've had your fill, okay?" Sam still said nothing, but smiled again. Unlike Blayde, she wasn't one to waste words. He smiled back. "When I went down the first time, I almost used up the crystals before going back to the surface." He didn't tell her old school crystalline breathing tanks he used as a boy only lasted a few hours. "Ready?" Blayde grabbed her hand and placed his left foot at the edge of the deck, traced his memory to make sure he'd properly anchored the boat.
"Yes." Sam put her left foot forward and prepared to jump. Although excited, her voice was soft, reserved. That was best anyway. Even the best underwater transmitters tended to echo underwater if you spoke too loudly. Blayde fancied her a natural diver, hoped she would be. They dove in face first.
Blayde inspected Sam carefully as the bubbles surfaced. He'd programmed her suit to have ridges like a zebra shark and colored it much the same. It was a last minute custom modification but it sounded fun. Blayde decided it would be a new fashion trend. With Sam as the model, he could make a killing off the code. It wouldn't be the first time a simple idea had gone viral.
"Alright," he called after the bubbles largely dissipated, "keep your legs just a little bent but flexed while you're learning. When you curl your fingers together while pushing your palm forward, your foot thrusters will engage at the same time. For now, use all four at once. You won't be happy the first time or two you only try two thrusters."
Blayde straightened his arms and legs, stretched his arms to face roughly the same direction as his legs, and alternated using two thrusters at a time. He moved through the water like a waddling penguin and laughed. The tide heaved and sparkled as heavy rainfall glistened for a moment under lightening flash. A school of fish, spooked by the flash of light, raced to deeper waters. Stormy conditions weren't exactly safe but Blayde wasn't the prudent, don't-take-risks kind of a guy. Life was meant to be full of adventure. Although Sam was somewhat reserved, Blayde sensed she felt the same. Still, his cheerful disposition dampened momentarily as he instinctually considered the unlikely possibility that lightening could strike the company boat.

As a homework assignment in a PhD quantitative methods course I took for fun this past quarter – which turned out to be very difficult – we were asked to implement the steepest decent algorithm. This algorithm provides a numeric method to find the minimum of an unconstrained optimization problem. I choose to implement the algorithm in R.
The idea of the algorithm is the following:
Given a particular function it is possible to find a closed form expression for gamma by simply taking the derivative and setting it equal to zero. We were meant only to solve the algorithm for a specific function and associated gamma, but I wrote a more robust R function. It takes an generic function and gamma, an initial location on the function to start the decent, and an epsilon to use as a stopping condition (by changing epsilon we can get an arbitrarily accurate solution).
steepestDecent <- function(x.initial, func = NULL, gamma = NULL, epsilon) { # Implement error handling if(is.null(func) || is.null(gamma)) { stop("Error: Please enter both a function and gamma.") } require(numDeriv) xk <- x.initial k <- 1 xk.vector <- data.frame(k,func(xk)) result <- try(dk <- (-1)*grad(func,xk)) if(class(result) == "try-error") { stop("Error: Make sure dimensions of function and x.star match.") } dk.norm <- norm(dk,'2') if(dk.norm <= epsilon) { message(sprintf(paste( "Error: Starting location is within epsilon tolerance.", "Function value at (%s,%s) is %s.", "Direction norm is %s.", sep=" "), xk[1],xk[2],func(xk),dk.norm)) stop } while(dk.norm > epsilon) { dk <- (-1)*grad(func,xk) dk.norm <- norm(dk,'2') gamma <- gamma(xk,dk) xk <- xk + gamma*dk k <- k + 1 current.value <- data.frame(k,func(xk)) xk.vector <- rbind(xk.vector,current.value) } ratio.vector <- NULL index <- NULL func.x.star <- func(xk) for(i in 1:(length(xk.vector[[1]]) - 1)) { try(ratio.vector <- rbind(ratio.vector,((xk.vector[[i+1,2]] - func.x.star)/ (xk.vector[[i,2]] - func.x.star)))) if(class(result) == "try-error") {stop} index <- rbind(index,i) } ratio.plot <- plot(index[,1] + 1,ratio.vector[,1], main="A Plot of Convergence Ratio vs. K", xlab="K", ylab="Convergence Ratio") func.plot <- plot(xk.vector$k,xk.vector$func.xk., main="A plot of f(x^k) as a function of k", xlab="K Values", ylab="Function Values") numeric.solution <- sprintf( "The numerical approximation of the unconstrained minimum for this function is %s, %s.", round(xk[1]), round(xk[2])) print(xk.vector) return(numeric.solution) }
The function and gamma can be defined separately depending on the problem. We were told to use the following function and gamma:
My output for the given function and gamma are shown below:
> x.initial <- c(0,0) > epsilon <- .01 > steepestDecent(x.initial,func,gamma,epsilon) [1] "The numerical approximation of the unconstrained minimum for this function is 10, -1."
You can see the numerical solution matches the analytical solution found by the standard partial derivative method. The R function also outputs a plot of f(x) as a function of the iteration number as well as a plot of the convergence ratio, given by:
The plots for this function are shown below:
For fun I also created a simple function that uses the necessary and sufficient conditions to check if an x* derived from analytical procedures is a global minimum. The first condition to be a global minimum is that the gradient must be equal to zero. The second fact is that the Hessian matrix of a convex function must be positive semidefinite for all x.
However, if the Hessian can only be verified to be positive semidefinite for a ball of diameter 2*epsilon centered around a given x*, we can only be certain that x* is a local minimum.
On the other hand if the Hessian is not positive semidefinite we aren't sure of much since we don't know anything about the shape of the function. Finally, if the gradient is not zero we know for certain that we are not at a minimum since there is some direction we can travel that will lead to a lower f(x).
analyticTest <- function(func, x.star, convex = FALSE) { require(numDeriv) result <- try(hess <- hessian(func,x.star)) if(class(result) == "try-error") { stop("Error: Make sure dimensions of function and x.star match.") } result <- try(grad <- round(grad(func,x.star),5)) if(class(result) == "try-error") { stop("Error: Make sure dimensions of function and x.star match.") } if(!isTRUE(all(eigen(hess)[[1]]>0))) { print("Hessian matrix not semi-definite. x* not a local or global minimum.") print(1) return(FALSE) } else if(!isTRUE(all(grad == 0))) { print("Gradient at x star is not zero. x* not a local or global minimum.") print(2) return(FALSE) } else if(convex == TRUE) { print("x* is a global minimum.") print(3) return(TRUE) } else { print("x* may be a local or global minimum. Check convexity of function.") print(4) return(FALSE) } }

Project Title:
"Revisiting homophily and tie creation in social networks"
Project Description:
My research is broadly concerned with the analysis of complex networks, and in particular social networks of interacting individuals, groups, or organisations. A number of network growth mechanisms have been suggested to explain how ties are forged and severed over time. Among these mechanisms, a key role is played by homophily, namely the principle that similarity breeds connection.
While the social environment may influence individuals' mental attitudes, and individuals may become similar as a result of their interaction, a substantial body of empirical research has provided evidence in favour of the hypothesis that social interactions between individuals arise precisely as a result of their similarity and convergence on the same ideas, beliefs, interests, and attitudes.
While homophily boasts a long intellectual tradition in the social sciences, organisational ecologists have suggested that similarity can also lead to competition for scarce resources. For instance, competition among organisations using similar strategies, having similar size, and sharing the same market targets tends to be stronger than competition among dissimilar organisations.
My research project aims to develop a model of network dynamics and tie creation that combines and extends the homophily and ecological arguments to investigate the non-linear effects of increasing degrees of similarity on the probability of tie creation. My approach to research is strongly interdisciplinary, as I integrate sociological and organisational theories with recent advances in the mathematical, statistical, and computatational sciences.
My research interests also include the study of topological properties of multiplex networks, in which the same nodes belong to multiple coevolving layers, and of signed networks, in which links between nodes can have positive (eg, friendship, collaboration) or negative (eg, enmity, competition) connotations.

Report from Brazil - 6
In Congonhas (Congonhas do Campo) which is a historical city located in Minas Gerais you find an amazing church and sculptures by the mysterious character Aleijadinho (b. Antônio Francisco Lisboa; 1730 or 1738 – 1814). The church is literally situated at the top of the town, so it is not for the faint of heart to drive there. But once you get to the top, you know it is worth it. More images here.

text: It is about time Congress did something productive. I'm not making a political statement towards one party or the other, but these people need to get a clue! They finally got off of their rear ends and passed the extension of the home buyer tax credit. The mortgage and real estate industry associations have been telling Congress for months that 60 days from contract date to close date is not enough to get these buyers' loans closed. Congress waits until the day after the extension expires to extend the credit AFTER lenders and Realtors have been screamed at and threatened with lawsuits? They just don't get it! They are so far out of touch with reality and how the world works; and, somehow, they got elected to run this country. It is time for fresh ideas and a sense of servitude from our elected officials!

While it sits steps from East Hampton's boutique and gallery-packed main drag, entering this six-room inn (there's also a separate two-family carriage house) is a lot like stepping into a time machine. The picket-fenced, whitewashed home has functioned as a hotel since—you guessed it—1770. Alongside modern additions like the in-room iPad docks and flat screens, its beautiful Colonial flourishes—exposed wooden beams, antique fireplace—are perfectly intact. We go for the ever-reliable and delicious burgers at the on-site restaurant.
Baron's Cove
31 W. Water St., Sag Harbor
Once the preferred hangout of Truman Capote, Jackson Pollock, and Kurt Vonnegut, Baron's Cove is back to its former glory after a two-year renovation (completed in 2015). This historic, sprawling, whitewashed spot is now home to 67 plush rooms (there's a subtly nautical theme throughout), plus a massive pool, gym, and excellent seafood-centric restaurant.
290 Old Montauk Hwy, Montauk
Thanks to a recent face-lift, this big resort in Montauk, which ranges along a prime slice of beach, is a good option, particularly if you have kids or a bigger group. Beyond a spate of great restaurants (Tillie's, Scarpetta, a coffee shop in the lobby), there's a kid's club, a beach club, and all the amenities you'd expect from a mainland hotel, like free Wifi, a gym, a pool, and a spa. It's also one of the area's only year-round resorts, which is great if you're hoping to make a visit during the quieter spring or fall months—just be sure to request a renovated room.
Hero Beach Club
626 Montauk Highway, Montauk
This refurbished seaside retreat (formerly the Oceanside hotel) quietly opened in the summer of 2017 out in Montauk, a spot not exactly known for it's blissed out tranquility in the summer months. Here, along Montauk's Umbrella Beach, this 34-room getaway features tastefully beach-y furnishings imported from Bali, the kind of mattress you'd happily spend the weekend lounging on courtesy of Tomorrow Sleep, and crisp linens from Hill House Home. (Several of the rooms also have a balcony.) In the morning, there's a small breakfast set-up (bagels, coffee) but not too many other frills—and that's kind of the point. The delightfully in-the-know hotel staff will set you up with everything from, say, surf lessons to tip you off to the best lobster shack in town. On the property, they're featuring yoga on the lawn four days a week and have plans to build out the wellness offerings come the summer 2018 season.
McKinley Bungalow
Address provided upon booking; Montauk
As the eye behind well-trafficked Montauk spots Ruschmeyer's and Surf Lodge, interior designer Robert McKinley is no stranger to the beach town's mellow vibe and wild coastline. So it follows that just in time for the East End's summer crunch (where prime lodging books up months in advance), McKinley and his wife, Kate Nauta, have opened McKinley Bungalow, a sprawling four-bedroom ranch-style home available for rent (there's a three-day minimum). We love the design details here, like natural oak floors and exposed beams, vintage decorative objects mixed with Mid-century-style furniture, and the open kitchen and living room that flow into one another, which makes for a lively communal space for families or weekend guests. The backyard, meanwhile, is storybook Hamptons, lined with seagrass and white hydrangeas and comes with a BBQ and communal table for outdoor meals. There's also a stash of Shinola bikes (Ditch Plains, known for its long surf break, is just a five-minute ride away). And if you really love it, everything (yes, everything), including the linens and furniture, is entirely shoppable, should you want to bring some of those Montauk memories home with you. …
Sunset Beach
35 Shore Rd., Shelter Island
Just north of most of the action, Shelter Island remains one of the quieter parts of the Hamptons—cynics would say it's a bit like Montauk in the old days, before real estate values in the area exploded. Owned by André Balazs, Sunset Beach Hotel sidles right up next to the ocean, with just 20 guest rooms that all have private porches looking out onto the water. Like any Balazs hotel, the food (and especially drink) scene is on point, with a great little European-style restaurant and a bar that offers some of the area's best DJs. Easy access to the beach also makes activities blessedly easy here—bikes are complimentary, and the hotel will happily arrange for beach chairs, paddle boards, and boats so guests can waterski, fish, or generally explore the area by water. Good to know: Since the beach here is west-facing, it's a great place to watch the sunset.
The Chequit
23 Grand Ave., Shelter Island Heights
After a grand re-opening following a major renovation, The Chequit is officially on our Hamptons short-list. The 37-room hotel feels more like a bed and breakfast, which is good since a glitzy resort wouldn't feel at all right on quaint Shelter Island.
The Crow's Nest Inn
4 Old West Lake Dr., Montauk
The 14-room hideaway is removed enough from the crush of Montauk crowds but an easy bike ride away from town when you need it. As for the design? It's the brainchild of hotelier Sean McPherson (of the Bowery and the Marlton fame), which means every detail has been considered from the crisp Indian-inspired John Robshaw bedding and shibori-dyed throw pillows to a fridge stocked with Tate's Bakeshop cookies and Wölffer rosé. For families traveling together, or for those seeking a bit more space, the collection of David Pharaoh Cottages are a solid option since each has its own kitchenette, daily housekeeping, and a beach parking pass (clutch if you've ever brought a car out to Montauk in the summer). During the day, a small-but-thoughtful breakfast spread includes fresh berries, croissants, coffee and a stack of the New York Times; come evening, grab a table at the on-site Mediterranean-inflected restaurant, which serves up everything from curried vegetable ragout and blue crab claw tagliatelle to fresh whipped ricotta and local kale salad. Stop by Melet Mercantile, a jewel-boxed sized outpost of the vintage connoisseur's Manhattan outpost, for an expertly curated selection…
The Inn at Windmill Lane
23 Windmill Ln., Amagansett
This is a luxurious inn with elegant rooms that's more of a quiet couple's retreat than a family spot. If you're traveling with a group, though, ask about 21 House, their four-bedroom private home, which comes with all the amenities of the larger inn (housekeeping, gym, transportation) and is available for private rentals.
The Maidstone
207 Main St., East Hampton
Longtime owners Jenny and Jonathan Baker have revamped their East Hampton destination hotel this summer. The refreshed design lends a whimsical look to the traditional American aesthetic of the shared rooms, including the bar, lounge, and sun room. We love how each of the nineteen guest rooms are individually designed, making you feel like you're staying at your friend's summerhouse. Replete with a new restaurant from Chef David Strandridge of Cafe Clover, it is hands-down an excellent place to visit or stay. Interior photos: Fran Parente.

Alan Quinn is confident Sunderland fans will see the very best of Mick McCarthy's inconsistent side at Crewe Alexandra this weekend as the Black Cats bid to cement their promotion credentials.
The on-loan Irish international believes Dario Gradi's fluid team will provide the Wearsiders with the footballing test they can pass in style following a fortnight left kicking their heels. But Quinn accepts he is not guaranteed to start this weekend's clash at Gresty Road with John Oster due to return from international duty on Thursday thirsting for a first-team recall.
"Crewe is somewhere I've always enjoyed going to," explained the Sheffield Wednesday playmaker. "I've played against them a few times and Dario Gradi's teams are renowned for their passing style.
"It will be a tough game, but it's a fixture which should bring out the best in Sunderland. We like to play good football, too, even if visiting teams try to prevent that from happening at The Stadium of Light.
"The fans down there love their football and both sides will be raring to go after another free week. It's set up to be a great game and, like Gillingham earlier this month, it's a game we can win."
Quinn accepts Sunderland are more likely to prosper on their travels right now with opponents' stifling tactics having the desired effect in front of frustrated home fans.
But the 24-year-old insists the Black Cats should be good enough to overcome the most defensive of their First Division rivals and believes there can be no excuses for recent Stadium of Light stalemates.
"It's no secret that we're looking forward to playing away," he added. "But the home situation doesn't faze us. We should be capable of breaking teams down when they come and sit back and it's something we've been working on again this week.
"We simply cannot afford to be dictated to by the teams which come to Sunderland looking for a point. It's a problem but not one we can't fix."
Quinn's immediate problem is proving he deserves to stay in the Black Cats' side held to a 0-0 draw by Coventry nine days ago and clearly missing Oster's input.
Black Cats officials were out in force as 20-year-old Huddersfield striker John Stead grabbed his 12th goal of the season against promotion-chasing Hull City with Town running out 3-1 winners.
Stead showed just why Sunderland were prepared to pay in excess of #800,000 for his services earlier this month with another assured all-round performance.

PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Mineral sands developer Strandline Resources will start a full definitive feasibility study (DFS) on its Coburn project, in Western Australia, after an upswing in mineral sands prices.
The company said on Thursday that the new DFS was driven by positive results from an internal project review, as well as market engagement activities that were undertaken in response to the significant increase in commodity prices.
MD Luke Graham said that the current favourable market dynamics and technological advancements in processing equipment provided significant opportunities for Strandline to increase the financial returns from Coburn.
"The strengthening demand for Coburn's high-quality mineral sands products, particularly zircon and high-titanium minerals, and the strong inherent project fundamentals make us very confident about this outlook."
Previous DFS work has shown that the project could have a mine life of more than 19 years, based on a mining rate of 23.4-million tonnes a year, to deliver 49 500 t of zircon, 109 000 t of ilmenite and 23 500 t of high-titanium oxide.
A recent internal review of the project found that the project could deliver a net present value of A$306-million, with significant upside potential identified, while the pre-tax internal rate of return has been forecast at 26%, with sales revenue expected to reach A$2.9-billion over the 19-year mine life.
"Coburn is a major, long-life asset located in the low-risk mineral sands mining jurisdiction of Western Australia. It complements our emerging mineral sands project portfolio in Tanzania and based on the long-term market forecast, would generate strong financial returns for shareholders," said Graham.
He added that the company was now working to lock in key implementation partners over the coming year, including offtake agreements and major execution contracts, as well as funding providers.

As mentioned in an earlier post, an amazing event is going on right now in the Sabina. This is the Great Transhumance or Grande Transumanza, the movement of about 150 beautiful horses from the Tiber Valley over the mountains to their summer pastures on Monte Terminillo.
The owner of these horses is a man named Manio Fani, seen here at right leading his family and workers.
This event started today, June 2nd. The first leg of the journey has brought the horses, many with their cute little foals, from Ponzano to the beautful Santuario di Vescovio in Torri In Sabina.
By the end of their journey, these amazing horses and their caregivers will have traversed the territories of these Sabine comunes: Stimigliano, Tarano, Torri, Vacone, Montasola, Cottanello, Contigliano, Morro, Rivodutri, Cantalice, Rieti and Micigliano.
These photos, taken by our friend Alessandra Finiti, show the horses arriving in Vescovio and having a rest there while the Fani family and their workers have lunch.
|A little foal enjoying a rest during its first visit to the Sanctuary of Vescovio
|Manlio Fani gallops across a field at Vescovio
|A well-deserved rest after a roam in the Roman ruins...
I hope that Alessandra and others will keep us posted on the progress of these beautiful horses.
|Enroute to Montasola where the horses will overnight
Buon viaggio a tutti!

How to Use Pressbooks to Go Blog-to-Book Guest post by Carla King
"When I found out that PressBooks had a blog-to-book tool, frankly, I didn't expect much, as similar tools I've tried have crashed or stalled in the middle of the process without so much as an error message. But because, after all, it is my job, I was obligated to take a moment to try it. Sigh. Imagine my surprise when PressBooks consumed my blog posts in under 30 seconds."

Defining Custom Rules using responsibilities in SAP Workflow
By Geethanjali K, Kaavian Systems
this tutorial, we would discuss about creating custom rules using
responsibilities in SAP Workflow. The rules can be created or changed using the
standard SAP transaction PFAC. Once the rules are created you can call these
rules in any workflow via the rule container".
First go to PFAC transaction and enter the rule name like
znew_rule. Click on create icon. It will show you the screen like as follows:
Give the name of the rule and choose the rule type as
"agent determination responsibilities".
Now go to the description page and give the rule description.
Choose change text.
Go to the container tab and create a container element
And choose the ok button. Now you have added a rule container
element for 'netvalue' (ekpo-netwr) value.
After that go to the responsibilities tab. Here we can
provide the agents for this rule.
Enter the abbreviation and press ENTER.
Now, for example, choose the net value as 0 to 1000 and click
on save.
The responsibility defined is in RED color. After saving the
responsibility it will show the green color status.

Regular Seeds
This hybrid is made up of Afghani #1, O. Haze and Skunk #1genetics. A 95% Sativa plant with a high THC level and high percentage of CBD to boot. She is covered in trichomes which give the buds a slight yellowish appearance.
She will carry on flowering long after 12 weeks, which is unique. The longer you leave the more THC will break down into CBD, creating a more stoned buzz.
She is not a bushy plant at all, letting light easily pass through to the lower buds and internodes. This will make for white buds all over the plant. These buds are not as compact as an Indica dominant plant, but the overall yield is impressive. Haze no.1 tends to stretch resulting in tall buds. When cured she breaks up real easily. Put her directly on a 12/12 schedule or a limit the pregrow phase to restrain her height. 6 plants per square metre is max, because they need room to grow.
She is a thinly, branched plant with slim, darkgreen leaves.She has a spicy, woodsy smell and a sweet and sour, wild flower haze taste. Powerful stuff so take small puffs. Haze No. 1 has a strong psycho-active high. Medicinal value: Crohn's Disease, epilepsy, MS, and other seizure-related illnesses.

Congrats to your son for passing his test keight, not an easy thing to do these days. How times have changed, back in the "olden days" you only had to do a written test to get a license.
Thanks Nan (and Pete from earlier) I will pass on your congrats to him. Yes it is very different nowdays, Nan, from when I went for my lisence. After the written test to obtain your "L" plates you need to formally log at least 150 hours of practice with a liscenced driver - including at least some night driving,some wet weather , some dirt or gravel roads and other things . Then they need to pass a "Hazard" test which is done on a computer simulator to check reflexes and response times to various situations before they can go for their official practical driving test which by then is probably the easiest part. (This is the protocol for Vic, I'm not sure about the other states)
Oh, and Nan, congats re the new grandson. What did they call him? I am sure he will bring much joy :)

Finally we can show YOU some cold-starts and revs of our new #AutomannsGarage M550i. This is the 2018 G30 M-Performance 5-series powered by the 4.4 liter V8 BiTurbo also being fitted in the new M5. Here it develops 462 hp and 650 Nm of torque almost across the entire power band. Sound-wise of course this car is meant luxury driving with some agility at the same time, but the exhaust sound is really really good. It's not really loud, but the voice it makes is very distinctive and better than our previous S8 plus. Please stay tuned for more footage of this M550i airing soon also on FB & Insta. Cheers.
