Lord Mayor of London starts mission to Brazil by visiting Investe São Paulo
President of Investe SP presents the potential of the state of São Paulo and discusses how to promote the region to the London financial centerInveste São Paulo with information from UKTI
On May 2, the president of Investe São Paulo, Juan Quirós, welcomed the Lord Mayor of the City of London, Jeffrey Mountevans, at the Agency's headquarters. The City of London is the financial district of London, and sent a delegation to Brazil to strengthen the relationship between British and Brazilian companies.
During the meeting, Quirós spoke about the economic importance of the state of São Paulo within the continent, also presenting the model of public-private partnerships (PPPs) used in the state and which may be of great interest to London's financial service companies.
"Companies that come to Latin America tend to settle first in São Paulo, which is both a logistics and service hub for the continent," said Quirós. The executive asked Mountevans to send him a list of companies that could be of interest in the PPP and concession projects available in the state.
"We need to take the information you have shown us to the entrepreneurs in the City of London, who currently know little about the state of São Paulo. The window of opportunities is certainly huge," said the Lord Mayor. He also noted that a major expertise of British companies consists of transferring knowledge, which could be useful for Brazil.
The delegation will also participate in meetings with other Brazilian institutions, seeking to discuss assets and the promotion of the British expertise in finance management. "The UK is the largest European investment management center, managing approximately £ 2.2 trillion (or R$ 12 trillion reais) on behalf of foreign clients. It is an extremely attractive destination for institutional funds, as well as for families and individuals seeking a safe and stable investment environment, said Mountevans.
Also in São Paulo, he will chair the discussions on Fintechs. "We have an incredible opportunity for the UK and Brazil to work together – since London has easy access to global talents and a culture of innovation, and Brazil has a growing interest in this area, the two countries are natural partners. The UK is considered a global capital in the Fintech area. Only last year, it generated a £ 6.6 billion revenue (approximately R$ 36 billion) in this area," he said.
In Rio, he will visit SUSEP (Superintendence of Private Insurance), the body responsible for the control and supervision of insurance markets, private pension, capitalization and reinsurance, and in Belo Horizonte, he will meet with companies to discuss the insurance and reinsurance market in the areas of mining, energy and agriculture. He will also address the opportunities in Minas Gerais for the mining sector in the capital markets, and as a result of the Economic and Financial Dialogue held in London in 2015, there will also be a discussion to align the next steps of UK-Brazil task force in the insurance area.

How to leverage your youtube music channel
YouTube is the most popular video outlet in the world, and as such, the free service is an integral part of any serious artist's music marketing strategy. Ignore it at your own peril! Among all the categories of videos found on YouTube, music is far and away the most popular, accounting for nearly 31% of all videos played through the website.So how do you begin to leverage its potential into a plus for your career? Here are six key tips to keep in mind as you go about building your YouTube presence.
1. Provide your viewers with information
The people who discover your videos could already be fans, but they could also have absolutely no idea who you are. The proper information needs to be available to users so that they can become more familiar with your act.Providing relevant links, video descriptions, and additional detailed information provides your viewers with easy access to important data such as the location where they can buy your album or download or share your content with their own personal networks.
2. Talk to your viewers, because they care (or might want to)
Engage with your viewers! Social media is a two way street, so if someone sends you a message or comments on your video, do your best to answer their questions, stir up a conversation, or thank them for the time they spent watching your videos.Ultimately, the more closely connected a fan feels to you as an artist, the more likely they are to watch that video again, post it to Facebook, tweet it, or share it in some other way.
3. Keep the content flowing!
The more engaging content you can post on your channel the better. This includes song videos, behind the scenes footage, tour diaries, etc. Give your fans a reason to stay involved in what you're doing on your YouTube channel. Film a quick video of your band doing vocal warm ups before a gig, or saying hi to a crowd before you go out on stage.
4. Put yourself behind the eyes of a viewer
Be mindful of how fans and YouTubers are seeing your band's presence on your channel. DIY bands
hurrying to shovel more content onto their channel often overlook the basics. In addition to
ensuring that your video and audio content is worth broadcasting, be sure the titles of your videos make sense and are informative (Band name/song title/ live performance venue/ etc.). Do your Tags make sense for each video? Are viewers able to get more info about this video if they need it?
5. Promote your YouTube content on your other Social Channels
It may sound obvious to interlink your various digital media channels, but some bands forget to do
this. Use your YouTube videos as content for blog and Facebook posts, tweets, and fodder on your
other social channels. It gives you timely content to broadcast, and it drives views and traffic to your YouTube channel. Engage with fans by sending them a new song they've never heard before. If you decide to debut a new song on YouTube, decide on a release date and start promoting the release via all the forms of digital media you use. You can also try a video teaser on your other channels by excerpting a scene or two from a new YouTube release.
6. Customize you YouTube channel
Remember to always:
- Add performer info.
- Add links to descriptions where appropriate.
- Upload your three Album images with buy links to your purchase page. This can be used for anything, so be creative! Don't forget that you can link to your merch.
Set your channel type to "Musician." By changing this status within your "Settings," you can add things like band member info and add "Events" for things like shows or new releases.
Making the most of your YouTube channel requires you to spend some time learning what is working for other bands and what works best for your audience. Be sure you speak with and listen to your fans using social media and YouTube, as they will help guide you to build a channel that is engaging and effective.

Musicians and Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) — How to Practice Hard and Stay Healthy
For many musicians, physical problems come in the form of repetitive stress injuries (RSIs). Resulting from improper technique, over-exertion, or just bad luck, RSIs can often start as a stray ache or pain, and if not dealt with correctly, can get worse and become debilitating. If you come to this article already experiencing discomfort while playing your instrument, though, fear not. A great majority of music-related injuries can be treated with proper care.
Here is how you can keep yourself playing music in a healthy way for years to come.These tips are from David S. Weiss MD is a Clinical Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at New York University School of Medicine.
Pay attention to your body and Take break
The major mistake musicians make is that they don't listen to their bodies and their arms," says Dr. Weiss. "Even if you're not feeling pain, if your arms feel tired and heavy, take note, and take a break. It's the same as walking – if I walk for four hours on cobblestone streets, my calves might not exactly hurt, but they'd likely feel tight and overused. That's when it's time to stop and take a rest – before the pain starts."
Take a lesson
Even if you're a completely self-taught musician, if you start feeling symptoms of overuse, consider investing in a lesson or two with an experienced, trained teacher.
Treat yourself like an athlete
Just like athletes, musicians use their bodies for their livelihood. Musicians should understand that their sound isn't coming just out of their instruments," says Dr. Weiss. "The sound comes from the neck, shoulders, and arms, and then from the instrument. Often, musicians will divorce themselves from the physical aspect of playing and ignore the fact there's a body between their creativity and their instruments."
Exercise away from your instrument
Keeping your entire body strong and flexible can go a long way towards ensuring that you'll be able to play music for decades, says Dr. Weiss. "Cross-training and aerobic exercises are good. Even walking briskly – with good posture, and not slouching – can be great. Using an elliptical machine, swimming, jogging, and biking are good, too. You want to work up a sweat and use your muscles, but not in the fine-tuning way that you use them when you play an instrument."
Know when to see a doctor
"If there's actual pain that interferes with your playing, seek medical attention," advises Dr.Weiss. Simple advice – but also remember to be diligent, even once you enter the examination room. "Be aware that a lot of physicians don't know a lot about musicians and may want to tell you to keep playing, but just take anti-inflammatory medicine."
While such treatments can help in the short term, if there's a greater issue with your technique or lifestyle that's causing you problems with your instrument, no number of pills will fix what's wrong. "You have to think about what a doctor's advice means," he says. "You don't just want to be covering up the pain. Painkillers can mask symptoms."

Art(s) : Painting
Mouvement(s) : Figurative

Web site
A philosopher, poetry enthusiast, and also a passionate artist, Monique Nakao very naturally turned to art in order to convey her symbolic vision of the world and the human figure. With immense sensitivity, and guided by her creative instinct, she is able to imbue her paintings with her conception of life and its incessant quest for happiness.
An unusual and wondrous world therefore emerges before our eyes, a world entirely crafted from a reinvented tangible reality. Her pieces are very often landscapes (seas, forests, mountains, and also towns) but in which a human presence is frequently detectable.
The artists creation, which remains very simple in terms of form, possesses a spontaneity and stylisation that point to an obvious passion for symbolism. The compositions are balanced, and the eloquent and subtle pictorial scripture results from a harmonious symbiosis between the European pictorial tradition and the Japanese culture with which the artist is infused. The brisk and generous brushstrokes and expressionistic and harmonious colours are in perfect synergy. Purples, reds and oranges blend with omnipresent blues which brighten the artworks.
Monique Nakaos work is endearing, full of freshness and colour, inviting us (through its philosophical message of hope for mankind) to escape into a poetic universe that is suffused with harmony, innocence and refound happiness.
Francine BUNEL-MALRAS, Historian of Art

text: Opinion Commentary from a variety of Montana citizens expressing a range of viewpoints. Views expressed by the commentators do not necessarily reflect the views of this station. Commentary: Courts Owe Common Sense on Cannabis Deadline By Evan Barrett • Jul 1, 2016 My commentaries try to call for a common sense perspective in our government and politics. While I approach things from a progressive or liberal bent, in my comments I try to bring facts and reason to bear. In that vein, I believe the impact of Montana's current medical marijuana legal situation on over 12,000 patients calls for the immediate application of some common sense from our state courts. 'Feelin' The Bern' Or Nixon Redux By Evan Barrett • Apr 29, 2016 I respect all who are "feelin' the Bern." Bernie Sanders has best articulated the challenges of the economically repressed American middle-class, helping many, including Hillary Clinton, find our voices about how badly the economic playing field is tilted to the advantage of the uber-rich and giant corporations and needs to be changed. Montana Democratic Party Rules Increase Fairness By Evan Barrett • Apr 29, 2016 I am an active Democrat. I know little about how Montana Republicans select the delegates to their national presidential convention, but do understand the Montana Democratic Party approach. History Says Keep An Eye On Federal Coal Payments By Evan Barrett • Apr 5, 2016 The Department of Interior recently announced a comprehensive review of federal coal leasing and a pause in most new leases. This has been done twice before during the Nixon and Reagan Administrations. Then, like now, those reviews and moratoria arose from concerns the public was being denied a fair return on the coal it owns. Seems like every time the system is fixed, it turns up broken again, leaving taxpayers on the short end of full and fair payment from the coal companies profiting from the people's resources. How could that keep happening? Who's In Charge: The 'People' Or The One Percent? By Evan Barrett • Feb 29, 2016 "The people," said a farmer's wife in a Minnesota country store while her husband was buying a new post-hole digger, "The people," she went on, "will stick around a long time. "The people run the works, only they don't know it yet – you wait and see." Carl Sandberg in "The People, Yes" (1936) Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 … next › last »

What better topic should I start with than ART? In particular, the three titles featured in this post include fiction and nonfiction, representational art and impressionist, expository text and storytelling. In other words, something for everyone.
|Chronicle Books, 2014
Just as the art of each individual (N.C. Wyeth, Andrew Wyeth, and Jamie Wyeth) portrays specific images yet resonates with hidden stories and emotions, so too does the story of this incredible family.
Rubin acknowledges that the women in the family were comparably talented, dedicated, and distinctive, but the focus in this book is on the legacy passing from grandfather to father to grandson.
Sprinkled throughout with concise nuggets of wisdom ("Study nature, not books.") and intricately woven aspects of real lives with images on canvas, even the most iconic illustrations or individual pieces take on new depth and significance in this reading.
|Charlesbridge, 2012
MONET PAINTS A DAY is written by Julie Danneberg and illustrated by Caitlin Heimerl. My comments about the book must begin with a disclaimer: I'm a full-bore Monet fan.
That said, I love the multiple text forms used in this book (first person voice, letter excerpts, and expository side bars).
I particularly enjoy the insights to Monet's personality, the interactions he had with the local children, and the impressionist style used by the illustrator. The author's note at the back extends biographical content as well as addressing the narrative approach used and the reasons for it.
The Wyeth biography requires an older reading audience, perhaps one with some background in modern American art, or at least a virtual field trip to examine works by this iconic family of painters. The Monet biography could serve a wide range of audiences, with an accessible voice and images for the youngest while providing text features for advanced readers, including an author's note, bibliography, and descriptions of art tools and techniques in the back matter as well as those concise side bar notes on each page.
|Charlesbridge, 2012
His appreciation is expansive, noting the figures, the colors, the patterns, the movement, and the aesthetics of various visual art pieces. There is a role for collectors in the art world, particularly when he shares his work with the public.
The character/narrative art is consistently 2-dimensional and simplistic throughout, while the framed images reveal a wide array of art periods, styles, and techniques. One strength of the narrative is that everyone can collect art that they enjoy, if they shop wisely, save their pennies, and are willing to pull lots of weeds to make the extra cash. The thought that art collection is not limited to the rich is a powerful message.
There are a few cautions to note in this work, though. First is how easily Oscar's early interest in creating his own art succumbed to discouragement (despite his family's effort to admire and encourage his attempts). Next is the universally white population of the street fair, the frame shop, and even the final museum visitors. The message that art is for white people may be inadvertent but is a miserably clear one from a young child's perspective. If this is addressed directly when used with young audiences it still has much to offer.
While we're talking something special to offer...
I'm excited to report that an exhibit of WENDELL MINOR's art that I wrote about HERE ,(including an interview),has been traveling and will open at HERITAGE MUSEUMS in Sandwich, MA on April 14, 2018.There's a remarkable hour-long video interview of Wendell Minor via Youtube, HERE.
So, while fall colors, a changing landscape, or anything else is tickling the artistic impulses of your kids- or your own!- start with these and express yourself!

John Brockelsby sent us pictures of his WORKING Sopwith Camel by Model Airways. To make the Sopwith Camel propeller work, John drilled out the crankshaft
to take the motor spindle, this is then super glued into the shaft with a piece of 9-32 brass tube slipped over the motor and onto the tube that runs through the engine. The new piece of tube is made long enough to take the exhaust pipes, (which were glued to a hexagonal nut). These pipes help support the total assembly because of having eliminated the bottom part of Fig. 18. but still used brass rods to replace CAF43. Masking tape was wound onto the connections to give a firm "push fit". Finally, "fuse-wire" was used for a ALL the cross bracing as it can be well tensioned and gives the turn-buckles a realistic look at the connections by being able to tightly twisting it.
John's comments: I recently procured the Sopwith Camel model and initially thought it to not be too hard, but soon realized what a challenge it became, but the finished model looks great. I stained the entire woodwork in Mahogany and clear gloss enamelled it. While this is a static model I decided to make the propeller work by installing a helicopter rear rotor brushless motor (1/4"dia. X1/2" long) inside a brass tube that then fitted over the tubing that ran from the propeller containing the crankshaft, then fitting the exhaust (sorry about the triple exhaust, seemed more realistic to me, if not authentic.) The motor runs on a AAA battery under the fuel tank.
I look forward to getting more models from you.
Regards, John Brockelsby

Toys 'R' Us is planning to close more than 180 stores.
The bankrupt retailer said some of the locations could remain open if it's able to negotiate better real estate leases.
As for the stores that will close, they'll be shut down by mid-April.
Stores in our area that are on the list:
Dover - 1061 N. Dupont Highway
New Jersey
Burlington - Rt. 541 & Cadillac Road
Cherry Hill - 2135 Route 38
Horsham - 100 Welsh Road
Exton - 104 Bartlett Ave.
Going out of business sales will start next month.
"While our store roster may be getting smaller, what is not changing is our desire or commitment to serving you," Dave Brandon, Chairman and CEO, wrote in a letter to customers posted on the company's website.
Toys 'R' Us filed for bankruptcy last September burdened by a big debt load and a shift to online shopping by consumers.

Thursday's Sports in Brief
WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama saluted the Cleveland Cavaliers for rallying to beat the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals, giving the city its first pro sports title since 1964.
Obama hosted the Cavs on the South Lawn of the White House, squeezing in another sports champion before he leaves office.
Obama singled out several players for praise, but particularly focused on LeBron James, who won the Most Valuable Player award during the championship series.
DENVER (AP) – The Denver Nuggets filed a protest with the NBA over a call in the final second of a 108-107 loss in Memphis on Tuesday.
The ball appeared to go off a Grizzlies player with 0.7 seconds remaining, but the ruling on the floor and a video review awarded possession to Memphis. Marc Gasol hit the game-winning shot on a tip-in.
The Nuggets said the NBA released its final 2-minute officiating report and acknowledged an incorrect possession call. Denver coach Michael Malone says the best-case scenario would be to ''replay the last seven-tenths.''
The odds of that, though, are ''slim and none,'' Malone said.
But it's not without precedent. Atlanta and Miami replayed the final 51.9 seconds of their disputed game during the 2007-08 season.
RENTON, Wash. (AP) – Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman confirmed he was fined by the NFL for his hit on Buffalo kicker Dan Carpenter in Monday's game against the Bills.
Sherman said he will not appeal the $9,115 fine. He was not penalized for unnecessary roughness on the play.
ATLANTA (AP) – Former NL Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey and the Atlanta Braves agreed to an $8 million, one-year contract, adding a 42-year-old knuckleballer to a thin rotation as the team moves into a new ballpark.
Dickey's agreement is subject to a successful physical. He would become the first of the 158 major league free agents to switch teams this offseason.
Dickey had a career-high 20 wins in 2012, his final season with the New York Mets. He won the Cy Young Award and then was traded. The right-hander spent the last four years with the Toronto Blue Jays, going 10-15 with a 4.46 ERA in 2016.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Matt Holliday became baseball's final free agent this offseason, formally leaving the St. Louis Cardinals when he and the team agreed to waive a provision in his contract that would have guaranteed his 2017 salary if he finishes among the top 10 in NL MVP voting.
The 36-year-old outfielder certainly will not finish among the top 10 when voting is announced Nov. 17, so the move makes him a free agent one week earlier. He hit .246 with 20 homers and 62 RBIs in 110 games, missing substantial time after his left thumb was broken when he was hit by a pitch on Aug. 11.
At the start of the season's last weekend, the Cardinals said they planned to decline Holliday's $17 million option for 2017. The seven-time All-Star still gets a $2 million buyout.
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) – Christen Press had her fourth career hat trick by the 38th minute, Alex Morgan added two goals, and the U.S. women's national team routed Romania 8-1.
NEW YORK (AP) – Seattle forward Jordan Morris was voted Major League Soccer's Rookie of the Year after scoring 12 goals in his first professional season.
The 21-year-old made his national team debut two years ago while still at Stanford.
Morris received an average of 45 percent of the vote in balloting by players, media and club management.
He will miss Friday's World Cup qualifier against Mexico because of a hamstring injury.
BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil (AP) – Memories of the biggest humiliation in Brazilian football and the return of Lionel Messi to Argentina were not enough to stop the five-time World Cup champions from beating their archrivals 3-0 in South American qualifying for the World Cup.
There were no Brazilians in tears this time, unlike at the World Cup in 2014.
The victory over Argentina extended Brazil's successful streak under new coach Tite to five matches, giving the qualification leaders 24 points from 11 matches. Argentina has 16.
PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico (AP) – Chris Kirk shot an 8-under 63 to take a one-stroke lead in the OHL Classic at Mayakoba.
Kirk had four birdies on each nine in his bogey-free round on Mayakoba's Greg Norman-designed El Camaleon course. Ben Crane, Camilo Villegas and Gary Woodland were tied for second.
MEXICO CITY (AP) – Carlota Ciganda birdied three of the last six holes for a 5-under 67 and a share of the lead with Sarah Jane Smith in the Citibanamex Lorena Ochoa Invitational.
Ciganda had a bogey-free opening round at Club de Golf Mexico. The Spaniard won last month in South Korea for her first LPGA Tour title.
SUN CITY, South Africa (AP) – Henrik Stenson shot a 3-under 69 in the Nedbank Golf Challenge, leaving the Swede a stroke back in his bid to wrap up the Race to Dubai title with a victory Sunday.
England's Ross Fisher, Chile's Felipe Aguilar and South Korea's Jeunghun Wang shot 68 at Gary Player Country Club.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – NASCAR driver Brian Scott plans to retire after next week's season finale to spend more time with his family.
Scott is 28 and has been racing at NASCAR's national level since 2007. He has two young children.
Albertsons Companies, Scott's longtime sponsor, said it would terminate its NASCAR program after the season. However, Richard Petty Motorsports plans to field the No. 44 that Scott drove with a new sponsor and another driver.

one check-in I was so psyched for my appointment with Julia. After years of my eyebrows disappearing (Hashimotos) I could not wait around to acquire them microbladed. I did my exploration (which includes videos demonstrating the complete healing process, not simply before and after pictures) and I felt very cozy picking Julia.
Lindsey has formulated her personal method that may be extra structured than they way I had been taught. It's Practically foolproof, but artistic competencies remain demanded. I might suggest Microblading LA for not merely the beginner, but will also the experienced Microblading Artist to further their career.
When I satisfied her, it just verified my option. Julia was very warm and personable. I appreciated that she didn't just do what I asked, but talked about my condition, shade, and so on and also expectations. The procedure alone was a hundred% painless (somewhat tender later that night time). The healing process went well and I have experienced very negligible fading. I'm truly looking ahead to my touch up in February.

I did not think anything of it as I thought it's possible Sara was working late mainly because of the rain or what not. She comes back again to tell me that Sara is not any longer with the organization and no-one was going to have the ability to do my touch up these days! Stunned because of the news, I questioned why they hadn't known as me? She responded they named all of Sara's clients but I was not on the Checklist to generally be referred to as!?! I Enable the receptionist know that I came from Orange County And that i took the day off of labor!!! She referred to as another person to the telephone yet again after which ran around asking An additional artist. She arrived back and stated Not a soul will be ready to accommodate me today!!!!! Microblading LA has NO customer support!!!! A supervisor did not arrive down to apologize or reveal anything to me. They let me depart experience vacant and offended about The entire condition as the procedure wasn't one hundred% finish. For the price of their provider, it's not what I paid for. It wasn't my fault their artist quit so How come I really have to endure for it?? It is not my fault that No-one identified as me to let me know!! All of this is away from my Handle and at the top I was the one that had to suffer for it. The receptionist supplied me the subsequent out there date in April! So I really have to compromise my existence with an incomplete procedure for three extra months. Again, why should really I need to wait around when NONE of this is my fault?!? So here I am disappointed with my brows!!! I have to Nonetheless attract on my brows everyday. They don't seem to be exactly the same condition anymore and they're patchy. I'm so dissatisfied with Microblading LA!!!! If you are doing pick this position, just cross your fingers that your brow artist would not Give up simply because you will probably be paying out the price and outside of luck!!! Now I have to invest more cash to go somewhere else to receive their position finished.

They allow me to leave emotion vacant and angry about The entire predicament as the procedure wasn't a hundred% entire. For your price in microblading horror stories their company, this is not what I paid out for.
I was talked into adhering to my natural brow condition and maintaining them natural looking (Though I don't attract my brows on to my natural shape). She assured me I could always go thicker or darker in colour when I return for my re-touch.
Microblading NYC is ideal for all These who would like to rebuild fully, outline, cover modest bald spots or fill improperly plucked eyebrows. Are also candidates who just choose to add a light arc. The end result is often a natural, undetectable eyebrow. It doesn't subject if you prefer arched, despeinadas or straight and described eyebrows are without a doubt A very powerful facial aspect.
You truly won't be able to go wrong with which artist you select - some just have more experience than Other people but I've uncovered Microblading is undoubtedly an art and every artist listed here does superior quality perform.
I had been a model back again in December and overall had a beautiful experience! My design was a natural, but even so, Lindsey and Julie designed positive both of those college students AND models were relaxed and self-confident by means of... The complete process. Very great to generally be a Section of. I just had my touchup with Julie Ha that is awesome!
Halt pursuing Carissa G. ten/two/2016 I noticed that Kirbie from Pop Sugar experienced arrive listed here for microblading. It appears to be very on pattern. I was a little hesitant but I'm obsessed with brows so I had to try it out. I saw Stacey and she did an incredible occupation shaping my brows.
The Ombre technique: takes advantage of two colour pigments, just one lighter than the other. The tail in the brow is darker and fades right into a light begin to the brow, providing a natural look.

Open skies policy is a concept where free market conditions are created for commercial aviation. It provides access to international carriers to operate freely without restrictions "This is a move to attract more international traffic.
The Government had planned to live an open skies policy only for a limited period but now it had decided to extend it for an unlimited period.
The other concessions at Mattala would be a 50 per cent discount on ground handling charges for five years

Receivables are an asset on your balance sheet. When you make a sale, your business either receives cash or extends credit to the customer. If your business extends credit to the customer, an income statement account increases and the asset account receivable (the amount the customer owes you) also increases. The receivables account, which is on the balance sheet, needs to be recorded to track the amount you are owed.
Assets are further broken out into current and long-term categories. Short-term receivables are generally due to be paid to you within a year and fall into current assets. Long-term receivables are for customers that have been extended credit for over a year.

Dr Helmut Pottmann, KAUST and Vienna University of Technology, Helmut Pottmann earned a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Vienna University of Technology in 1983. He has held faculty positions in Germany (Kaiserslautern, Hamburg) and the US (UC Davis, Purdue) and has been Professor of Applied Geometry at Vienna University of Technology since 1992. In 2009 he became Professor at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, where he served as Director of the Geometric Modeling and Scientific Visualization Center until 2013. Pottmann has co-authored two books and more than 200 articles in scientific journals. He is also co-founder and scientific director of Evolute GmbH, a company which offers services and software to industries facing challenges related to complex geometry.
Presenting an overview which evolves around discrete and computational differential geometry with applications in architecture, computational design and manufacturing. From the mathematical perspective, we are working on extensions of classical differential geometry to data and objects which frequently arise in applications, but do not satisfy the classical differentiability assumptions. On the practical side, our work aims at geometric modeling tools which include important aspects of function and fabrication already in the design phase. This interplay of theory and applications will be illustrated at hand of selected recent projects on the computational design of architectural freeform structures under manufacturing and structural constraints. We will address smooth skins from simple and repetitive elements, self-supporting structures, form-finding with polyhedral meshes, optimized support structures, shading systems and the exploration of the available design space.

What happens when the lights go out?
Phrased one way or another, that is among the first questions to cross the minds of people unfamiliar with glass cockpits, but all too familiar with Microsoft's notorious Blue Screen of Death.
It's a good question.
Backup instruments are required by the FAA. How they are provided is up to the airframe manufacturers, to a very large extent, and some do it better than others. A very informal survey of glass cockpit airplanes suggests that most manufacturers hold a strong faith that the glass boxes never are going to go dark, judging from where they place the backups.
A builder of very popular glass cockpit singles puts the mechanical standby dials in a shelf below the pilot's panel, at an angle requiring tall pilots to be contortionists. At the other end of the spectrum – in every sense – Raytheon's current Hawker 800 backups are right at the top of the center stack, easy to see from either seat. The one thing these two airplanes have in common is that the backup instruments are small.
Eclipse may have found the best solution. An airplane built around its systems, the Eclipse 500 has so many built-in redundancies that there are no traditional standby instruments. The backups simply show up as a four-inch-square display on the 15-inch multi-function screen; a small replication of the airspeed, altitude, attitude and heading data normally shown on the large PFDs to the left and right of it.
Well, you may ask, suppose the MFD goes dark? Eclipse's answer is that both engine-driven generators could fail and automatic load shedding would keep the standby package – and other vital systems – functioning for at least 30 minutes, on one of the airplane's two batteries. To Eclipse, which has run very extensive tests, it seems unlikely to the point of impossibility that both PFDs and the MFD all could be lost at the same time.
The Eclipse solution avoids awkward placement of standby instruments, which is not limited to general aviation aircraft. Remember the Swissair MD-11 that crashed in 1998 after losing electrical power to a fire?
The Canadian Transportation Safety Board speculated that the pilot may have become disoriented while scanning between the standby instruments, placed very low, and the magnetic compass above the panel. The MD-11 required "a considerable vertical scan to complete an instrument cross check, thereby risking coriolis illusions from large up and down head or eye movements during turns, which can produce severe disorientation even among experienced pilots," the board's report read.
The board did not state, conclusively, that such disorientation caused the crash, but obviously considered it a contributing factor. Others have made similar speculations about a Cirrus SR 22 crash in Florida, last January. The SR 22's compass, too, is in the usual spot above the instrument panel and the standby instruments are below the panel.
Pilots who fly with glass cockpits praise them extravagantly. The difficulties they report are two-fold: Learning to make use of all the information available, and transitioning back to round dials when necessary. Reliability is not a big issue, and rightly so. The failure rate of all-electronic systems is remarkably low, when compared to their mechanical and electro-mechanical counterparts.
But they do fail, which is why standby systems are required. Whether typical backups are adequate, or take ergonomics into consideration appropriately, is a matter that needs more careful consideration than many designers have given it, judging by their seemingly cavalier approach to placement.
The advantages of glass cockpits have not been lost on the avionics retrofit community. At every aviation trade show, companies are offering certified retrofit cockpits for a growing list of airplanes starting, naturally, with the older business jets. A lengthening list of installers provide retrofit capabilities which, as prices descend from the flight levels, are becoming affordable for smaller and smaller airplanes.
In fact, at Sun 'n Fun, a Legend Cub was on display with a glass cockpit. Can gee-whiz technology for Light Sport Aircraft be far behind? When that day arrives, and ever more pilots are starting out in glass cockpits, adequate standby instruments – and their placement for ease of use under trying conditions – will be even more important than it is now.
Even in a Cub the lights can go out.

The perfect marketing plan template makes success with business about half as hard to receive. Most businesses that are not doing well came into the entrepreneur game have enough equipped. You will need to have smart marketing. Placing ads in Yellow pages might get your name out there, but who is seeking it. Do you even know?
Fields while health care, computer technology, information systems management and computer-programming do dont you have enough worker. With the right degree, you could find yourself being actively recruited by many companies.
The style and personal desires of the artist determines what portrait paints is actually selected. Are you drinking oil to be the Old Specialists? Will it be acrylic, a water base paint? Could it be water color for the romantic?
Back in 1895, a little film seemed to be called, "Train Pulling right into a Station". I thought back before films begun to have story lines. Movies were a brand name new technology revolution and short a minute or so films such as these were what was shot and viewed. Since filmmaking was so new, as soon as the audience saw this work, many of them ran coming from the theater in concern with their day-to-day lives! They thought the thing they were seeing was real and these people about to obtain run around. While many people probably could fail to define "Train Pulling straight into a Station" to be a horror movie, it did fulfill the meaning of what horror may be.

Finally price should become the perfect last consideration when on the lookout for the best projector. End up being frank a projector isn't considered best on the cornerstone of reasonable price. It is best on the foundation it matching your needs and applications. Nevertheless, once you known the model and brand of your best projector chances are you'll do further online research to training course bargain. Massive stores for example Amazon face very good discounts for projectors far more of other electronics. It is certainly cheaper order your projector website. This gives you a greater associated with getting a meaningful savings.

As I continue to stretch beyond the typical planetary influences on the astrological natal chart, I find these two additional astrological considerations are not physical objects in the heaven at all. They are points in space indicating where the Moon crosses the ecliptic. That is to say, when the Moon's monthly orbit around the earth crosses the earth's annual orbit around the Sun (the ecliptic). Each orbital intersection is called a Node, occurring twice a year in opposite signs. Even though these points are considered Nodes of the Moon, they actually demonstrate the relationship between the Sun, Moon and Earth at the time of birth.
The Nodes move in a retrograde direction slowly through the Zodiac completing a full cycle in 18 to 19 years, or through each Zodiac sign in about 19 months. The North Node occurs when the Moon's orbit crosses from south of the ecliptic to north of the ecliptic. When the Moon's orbit crosses from north of the ecliptic to south of the ecliptic, the South Node occurs. The Zodiac sign and chart placement of the North Node is directly opposite that of the South Node.
There are various theories of how the Nodes influence our charts but the most common is that the North Node represents our Future Lives and the South Node represents our Past Lives. Some astrologers relate the North Node to positive, optimistic, expansive Jupiter and the South Node to negative, pessimistic, restrictive Saturn. Chinese astrology associate the North Node to a Dragon's head taking in nourishment, striving for fulfillment and the South Node to a Dragon's tail expelling waste, releasing and letting go; in other words, a taking in and giving out opposition. In Karmic astrology, the North Node is the path of evolution, moving toward the soul's like purpose, and the South Node is the elimination of all that the soul has outgrown. It may also be said that the North Node represents people we are drawn to, as opposed to the South Node, which represents people we tend to avoid.
Balance between the two Nodes is a lifelong goal. It appears that the South Node represents the old patterns and prejudices that may need to be released, which are deeply ingrained, possibly too comfortable and limiting, like the easy way out. The North Node shows the potential growth, fresh outlook, even liberation from the past. It may take a lifetime to balance between the old, easy, South Node ways to the new, expansive North Node destiny.
The Zodiac sign of each Node are direct opposites. The following describe each pair of Nodes presenting what traits to grow (North) and what to let go (South).
North Node in Aries, South Node in Libra – Assertiveness and initiative result in self-sufficiency, leaving behind indecisiveness and reliance on others.
North Node in Taurus, South Node in Scorpio – Strength and relentless drive pave the path to inner security, releasing emotional pain regarding power and sexuality.
North Node in Gemini, South Node in Sagittarius – Effective listening and meaningful sharing lead to inner truth, leaving behind dogma and a need to philosophize.
North Node in Cancer, South Node in Capricorn – Caring for self and others is the path of nurture, releasing ambitious drive and need to control.
North Node in Leo, South Node in Aquarius – Strength of will and compassion result in a heart centered soul, leaving behind eccentricity, rebellion and impersonality.
North Node in Virgo, South Node in Pisces – Structure and inner confidence lead to a path of selfless service, releasing martyrdom and escapism.
North Node in Libra, South Node in Aries – Cooperation and empathy result in balanced partnerships, leaving behind competition and self-centered tendencies.
North Node in Scorpio, South Node in Taurus – Power, transformation and intimacy result in self-mastery, releasing possessiveness and materialism.
North Node in Sagittarius, South Node in Gemini – Integrity, commitment and trust lead the seeker to truth, leaving behind being superficial and too logical.
North Node in Capricorn, South Node in Cancer – Discipline and structure lead to autonomy, releasing dependency and sensitivity.
North Node in Aquarius, South Node in Leo – Empathy, community and equality pave a path to evolution, leaving behind egotism and self-centeredness.
North Node in Pisces, South Node in Virgo – Compassion and mystery lead to enlightenment, releasing perfectionism and criticalness.
Keep in mind that traits to be released are ones that we naturally fall back on or use as the easy way out. They are ancient patterns and deeply entrenched. It's a balancing act between releasing the South Node traits and initiating the North Node traits. Achieving that balance is achieving our destiny.
Until next time, may you gaze upon the heavens and see your balanced soul in the multitude of stars.

One of Tennessee's most infamous murderers is suing the Department of Corrections for not providing him with kosher meals in prison.
According to KTVI, Perry March is serving a 56-year sentence for the second-degree murder of his wife, Janet.
As WTVF reported, March said the state did not provide him with meals that met the requirements of his Jewish religion.

"It's a case of gluttonous wolves gorging unchecked on defenseless, captive sheep," March said in a complaint.
Legal analyst Nick Leonardo told WTVF that March actually has a pretty good chance of winning the suit. And if March does win, it could mean millions of dollars of expenses for taxpayers.

"There's 10,000 prisoners in that state who have some dietary restrictions because of religion and it cost the state $12 million last year," Leonardo said, referencing a similar case in Florida. "You're starting to see more and more of these cases in other states."
A hearing has not yet been scheduled for a case that could set a new standard for coddling prisoners.

The question is: Should prisoners be allowed to dictate their needs while serving a sentence for a grievous crime? And at the expense of the innocent taxpayers?
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam is already planning to raise other taxes in the state, such as the gas tax by seven cents, according to The Tennessean, in order to pay for other much-needed construction and improvement expenses. Taxpayers in Tennessee just don't need the added burden of millions of dollars for the dietary preferences of criminals.

The scene is idyllic: white snow, green trees, blue sky, bright sunshine, no lift line-ups. Ahhh. A spring skiing day at Whistler.
Jacob and Zoe and I had the good fortune to be invited to spend a few days with our lovely friends Donny and Lisa and their daughter, Isabella, in Whistler. We stayed in their awesome condo with them and enjoyed the heated outdoor pool with water slide (slightly stressful for this former lifeguard), games room, and miles of hallways for 8 yr olds and 13yr olds alike to roam at will. Throw in some good food, some lazing around in hot tubs, some wandering in Whistler and it's all good.
But back to the slopes. It was one of those days that you hope for but hardly ever actually experience: perfect skiing conditions and hardly anyone else around. As this was the first time the kids had skied at Whistler, there was an 'overwhelming' factor that us island kids had to get past but once we got used to the fact that there is approximately 862 chairs at Whistler and 50438 runs, we were fine.
We started our first day off with a trip up the Blackcomb side to the new Peak to Peak gondola. Those of you who know me will recall that I am not good with heights. So this gondola may not have been a good choice for me but with my other choice being a trek down Blackcomb, across Fitzimmons Creek, and then back up Whistler, which would take me approximately 3 days, I effectively had no choice. So on I got. At first it was pleasantly amazing as we soared over the runs, skiers below zipping around like so many ants. Then, all of a sudden, the cable appeared to fall off the side of the mountain. It was at this point that I noticed the decal on the inside of the gondola, happily explaining how this gondola has the longest unsupported span in the world. Great. Why would they point this out?
Hey Everyone! Guess What? You just passed the last support tower and there isn't another one for, like, a mile or something! And Is it Ok if we just send you out over this ravine? The one with the jagged rocks at the bottom? Awesome!
So I sat quietly and looked out and not down and gripped the side of the seat until my hand cramped, all the while nodding and smiling yes isn't it amazing. Mmmhmmm. At least there were no idiots riding with us that day. Not like the next day when Mr. Gondola-Statistics got on. He was only mildly irritating until he started in on how wasn't it amazing that the gondola was only supported by that thin little clip and those other two 6 inch thick cables are only to guide it and really consider how amazing it is that it's just the one thinner cable that actually holds the car and blah blah blah. Thankfully his wife clued in that maybe not everyone was as thrilled to consider this as he was and suggested that he stop. Just as well as I was about three seconds away from suggesting that perhaps he would like to consider shutting the hell up. Not very polite of me but frankly I was getting tired of envisioning my family plummeting to our death, as I am prone to do in these types of situations.
Anyway. I digress. So there we were enjoying our day. Lisa and I decided to take Zoe and leave Jacob and Bella with Donny. We headed off up the Symphony Chair, enjoying the lovely view. About two-thirds of the way up, I noticed that Zoe had only one ski pole. I frantically looked about, as if there was a chance that it was still in mid-air and I could grab it. Instead, I spotted the people in the chair behind us madly trying to get my attention. "You dropped your pole between towers 4 and 5" he yelled. "Thanks" I yelled back, giving the thumbs up. Well that would be no problem. Most of the runs under this chair were blue and green so I would just whip down the hill, grab the pole, jump back on the lift, and be back up at the top in no time.
I headed off and found my way down the runs. I passed towers 8, then 7 thinking all the while what an excellent skier I had become. When tower 6 approached, I noted the terrain had changed suddenly and was decidedly steeper than it had been. But still I persevered. By the time I got to tower 5, I could only guess that it was actually tower 5 (my intense deductive powers of reasoning kicked in here) due to the fact that a thick dense forest had popped up out of nowhere. Peeking out of the top of this forest were towers 4 and 5. Great. The whole freakin mountain is like a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream except for this one little area rising up like a chunk of unwelcome walnuts. I skied to the edge of the trees and managed to align myself with what I could only assume was roughly the area between towers 4 and 5. There were a few tracks leading into the glades but they looked like they were from 1979 (the tracks, not the trees). I gave myself a mental slap. How bad could it be? I had skied through glades before many times. I liked glades. I squinted further in through the branches. Yes, I could just make out what looked like the run, or at least a clearing. I pointed my skis in and pushed off. I think I remained standing for about .47 of a second before my left ski shot off down a tree well, leaving me in a somewhat compromised position. I struggled to my feet, disentangled my ski from the tree and surveyed my position. The trees were starting to feel like the ones in Snow White – all gnarled and threatening. Too bad I didn't look like Snow White. Anyway, I managed to get my skis back on and slid rather than skied the rest of the way through the trees until I reached what I will euphemistically call the 'run'.
At this point, I met a patch of snow that had formed a hard crust, more testament to my earlier assertion that no one had been on this 'run' in a very long time. This patch and I had little to say to each other except 'Shit!' from me and 'Hah!' from the patch. Again I found myself in a severely compromised position, one which forced me to remove my skis. And so there I was, skis off, up to my ass in snow crust surveying the scene. It was then that I heard the ski patrol from overhead as he passed by on the lift. Great.
Ski patrol: "Hey are you OK?"
Me: "Oh yeah. No problems thanks"
Ski Patrol: "Are you sure? You look a little…
Me: (thinking 'A little what??? Like an IDIOT?)"Yep. Yep. Just lost a pole"
Ski Patrol: "Oh OK Yeah it's just down the run a little ways"
Me: (thinking 'Fucking GREAT'!') "Awesome! That's good news!"
Ski Patrol "mwah blah balhdlfjlka; (too far away to hear him) but I think he was probably saying something like "I scrape your kind off trees regularly and I don't recommend that you go down there because frankly, you don't really look like you have a clue…" or something like that.
At which point I gave the ski patrol the Thumbs Up sign and smiled sweetly. This smile quickly turned to alarm however when I realized that the 'run' appeared to drop right off approximately 10 ft from where I was stranded. Fortunately the deus ex machina of this story appeared in the form of an expert skier who appeared from out of nowhere, shot past me, stopped on the hill like it was flat (it wasn't), picked up the pole and waved it at me. At that exact moment my cell phone rang and, of course, it was my mother. For a few moments I fielded two conversations with both my mother and Nancy Greene (or whoever it was).
Me: "Hey Mum…can you hang on a sec…"
Nancy Greene: "Hey is this your pole?? Hey? Hey You over there is this…"
My Mum: "Hi Jane. I'm just at your house and I'm wondering if the rabbit is supposed to be on…."
Me to Nancy Greene "Oh hold one a second yes that's my pole!!"
Nancy Greene: "Oh I'm sorry, I thought someone had dropped it..I'll just leave.."
Me to Nancy Greene: "No please don't leave it!..!
My mum: "Jane? I wasn't going to leave it…I was concerned that…"
Me to my mum: "No,I'm not talking to you, what's the matter with the rabbit?"
Nancy Greene: "Hey do you want me to take it down for you?"
Me to Nancy Greene: "Yes please, that would be wonderful I'll be there in a minute.."
My mum: "You'll be here in a minute? I thought you were at Whistler. Well I'll just leave it then…"
Me: "What? No, mum I am at Whistler. What did you say was wrong? Oh forget it I'll call you right back."
Energy renewed at the realization that I would not have to crawl down the hill on my ass as hundreds of people pointed and laughed on the lift overheard, grabbed my skis, turned back into the Forest of Doom, and trekked back through to the main run.
Upon emerging from the trees, I eagerly threw my skis down, clicked my boots into the bindings and took off down the hill. I made it about three feet before my right boot came out of the binding, and I fell sideways and rolled downhill onto my face. My ski, free from its boot, shot off down the hill. In an act of agility and flexibility that I didn't know I had, I lunged after it, skidded down the hill some feet and grabbed it with my finger tip. It must have been a spectacular fall as several people came zipping over to me to see if I was OK. I nodded and got up and put my ski on properly (one must remove the hard crust of snow that builds up on the bottom of one's ski boot BEFORE putting on one's skis).
Back at the bottom of the run, I was happy to see the wretched pole waiting for me beside the lift. I grabbed it, got on the lift, and managed to make it to the top of the lift without any further crisis. The rest of the week was magnificent, the company lovely and I can't wait to go back! Although please note, anyone losing a pole must now go and get the damn thing themselves.
Ahhhh. Whistler, I think I love you.
The lovely Lisa
The drop of Doom

As per usual, as soon as Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) launched its iPhone 5 into the hands of millions of anxious buyers, some of those hands wanted nothing more than to pry the shiny new device apart and take a gander at its guts.
The usual suspects at iFixit -- with some assistance from their friends at Chipworks -- never disappoint. Let the teardowns begin.
No alarms and no surprises please
Just like the iPhone 5 announcement itself, there weren't really any major surprises lurking beneath the in-cell touch display. Careful watchers and analysts already had a pretty good idea of what component suppliers Apple was tapping, and hopefully you were already caught up to speed by reading my comprehensive iPhone 5 supplier report.
Without further ado, here's a list of some of the more critical ingredients found inside and what that means for investors.
Power amplifier modules: There are a handful of power amplifier modules in the device, sourced from three different vendors just like last year. Skyworks Solutions, Avago Technologies, and TriQuint Semiconductor (Nasdaq: TQNT) all stood pat in their seats.
Touchscreen microcontrollers: You might notice that I said "microcontrollers" -- yes, plural. That's because Apple is now using two microcontrollers for the first time in the iPhone to handle the taller display. This win is being split by Texas Instruments and Broadcom (Nasdaq: BRCM). TI has long provided this piece in prior iPhones, while Broadcom has supplied touchscreen microcontrollers in iPads and MacBook Airs. They're joining forces this time, as Apple goes for a two-chip solution like it did in the iPad 3.
Baseband processor: There was never any doubt that Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM) would take the cake in the baseband processor. As suspected, the 28-nanometer MDM9615 is serving up the LTE, along with a whole slew of other cellular standards. We can now officially stop wondering if Apple will partner with China Mobile, and focus our speculative efforts of when that deal will be inked.
Image sensor: Unfortunately, OmniVision Technologies and Sony investors will have to wait a bit longer to see who won this spot. Identifying this sensor is a painstaking process, one that we'll have to wait for Chipworks to perform. I suspect OmniVision was the winner here, primarily because of its monstrous revenue guidance in the current quarter to all-time highs of $355 million to $390 million, but in fairness I thought they won last year (and I was absolutely wrong).
3-axis accelerometer and gyroscope: The supplier of this relatively uninteresting component continues to be STMicroelectronics. No shockers here, but also less opportunity for investors because its MEMS segment, while the company's largest, comprises just over a third of sales.
Audio chips: Again we find Cirrus Logic (Nasdaq: CRUS) providing the Apple-branded audio codec. There are no clues as to whether or not Audience was indeed cut from the iPhone 5 as the company suspects it was. Its IP was integrated into last year's processor, and as expected, there's no sign of its digital-signal processor hardware.
Wi-Fi module: The Wi-Fi module looks to contain a new Broadcom chip, the BCM4334, in addition to Skyworks front-end chips. The BCM4334 is notable because it debuted earlier this year. Broadcom's chip has moved down to a 40-nanometer manufacturing process and the company claims it has reduced power consumption by a whopping 40% to 50%. This dual-band chip will help boost the iPhone 5's Wi-Fi capabilities.
Prior to the launch, I had predicted the top winners to be Qualcomm, Cirrus Logic, and Broadcom. That's mostly played out here, as all three maintained their lucrative design wins.
Different down under
One minor thing to keep in mind is that iFixit's unit is from Australia, and there are three distinct iPhone 5 models for different countries (and LTE bands). The differences between models will be negligible, and in the U.S. AT&T users will get the GSM model and Verizon and Sprint Nextel users will get the CDMA model.
With 2 million preorders in the bag and launch weekend estimates as high as 10 million units, companies pitching in behind the scenes (and their investors) are set to ride the iPhone 5's coattails to riches.

An army of volunteers has helped knit more than 100 blankets for people being treated for cancer in the county.
The Wellingborough and Rushden Macmillan Cancer Support group launched its blanket appeal to run throughout the year.
Squares could be any colour or pattern and a team of knitters have helped produce 110 completed blankets as well as enough squares for a further 90 blankets to keep patients across the county warm.
Church groups, retirement homes and individuals have all been busy with their knitting needles.
Voluntary Impact Northamptonshire sent volunteers into schools to teach children how to knit so they could get involved, and news of the appeal even spread as far as a church in Basingstoke which sent a box of squares.
The blankets were handed over to Rhian Langford, Macmillan information and support lead at Northampton General Hospital, and it is hoped additional blankets will go to Kettering General Hospital in the next few weeks.
Rhian said: "Many people going through cancer treatment feel extremely cold and this has a knock-on effect with the need for extra heating and the rising cost of utility bills at a time when money may be short. At this time of year we all begin to feel the cold more and a cosy blanket can be a real help if you feel the cold more than normal because of treatment."
Sally Fordyce from the Wellingborough and Rushden group said: "This campaign has succeeded beyond any of our dreams – we had no idea how many people would want to get involved. We have people helping us to sew the squares together and we would like to thank everyone for their support."
Support also came from Scott Bader which allowed staff to use their volunteering days to sew the squares together.
