Leo Messi leaves FC Barcelona after failure to sign new contract
Due to financial and structural obstacles, Leo Messi and FC Barcelona will part ways, putting an end to their 21-year relationship.
FC Barcelona announced on Thursday that star striker Leo Messi will not continue at the club.
Barcelona confirmed the news with an announcement on their official website which brings to an end the 21-year relationship between the club and the Argentinean player.
The brief statement explains that "despite having reached an agreement between FC Barcelona and Leo Messi and with the clear intention of both parties to sign a new contract today, we have not been able to formalize the agreement due to economic and structural obstacles (Spanish LaLiga rules)," begins the statement.
"In the face of this situation Leo Messi will not continue his relationship with FC Barcelona. The two parties deeply lament that in the end they have not been able to fulfil the desires of the player and the club."
"Barca wishes with all of its heart to thank the contribution of the player in helping to make the institution greater and wishes him the best in his personal and professional life."
The news comes as a bombshell in the Spanish game after Messi returned to Barcelona from Ibiza (where he had spent time on holiday with his family) on Wednesday evening and it was fully expected that Thursday would see the confirmation of him signing a new 5-year-contract keeping him at the Camp Nou until 2026, when he will be 39-years old.
Instead, the news is that he is leaving.
The news is a huge blow for Barca president, Joan Laporta, who returned to the club in March saying he would work to keep the striker at the Camp Nou. Laporta maintained his optimism through the weeks of negotiations over Messi's new contract, even saying on Monday that "Every night I have sweet dreams when I think of Messi," and adding that the "negotiation is progressing well and along the lines we are thinking of - we are working on it: Messi wants to continue and we must ensure that he continues."
One of the main problems had been fitting Messi's contract into LaLiga's tough financial fair play regulations, but that issue looked to have been resolved on Wednesday when LaLiga announced an agreement with the investment fund, CVC Capital Partners, which will give Barca 270 million euros (40 million of which can be spent on signings and wages), enough to pay for Messi's new deal.
Making his first team debut as a 16-year-old in November 2003, Messi went on to make 778 first team appearances in which he scored a record 672 goals, including an all-time record of 474 goals in LaLiga. He has helped Barca win 10 LaLiga titles, 7 Copas del Rey, the Champions League on 4 occasions, as well as 7 Spanish and 3 European Supercups and 3 FIFA World Club Cups, while winning the Balon d'Or six times.
The news will now almost certainly start speculation that Messi will join either Manchester City or Paris Saint Germain.

Artemis was the Lady of Wild Things and mistress of the Hunt, but it is her role as the three-formed goddess that is the inspiration for this necklace. Later poets associated Artemis with Hecate and Selene; Artemis represented the lovely Hunter flashing through the forest, Selene the Moon making all beautiful with her light, and Hecate the Goddess of the Dark Moon and she who stands at the Crossways. The silvery light and flash of a star or moon or a creature's bright eyes are captured by the soft leather and satin and brilliance of the Swarovski crystal ringed with pearls. Cost: $56.00 USD

Developer: DYA GAMES
Publisher: DYA GAMES
Platform: Nintendo Switch (eShop)
Category: Adventure, Puzzle, Action & Other
Release Date: December 20, 2018 (EU & NA)
Back in March of this year, Nintendo put out a Nintendo Direct that heavily focused on Indie games and then ended with the mic-drop of the year that was the announcement for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
During said video, they revealed that Undertale was coming to the console, and a bit more quietly afterwards they announced support for games made using the Game Maker engine. Which leads us to our subject today, which is Viviette- an atmospheric horror adventure game made using the aforementioned engine. Earlier released this year on Steam, Viviette has seen a few patches and updates which have made the Switch version a more of a smoother experience for everyone.
To start off Viviette, we begin our journey at the end of our journey. Protagonist Jules Fosset comes to in a local hospital and is then told by a nurse that she's happy you have recovered, but she will leave it up to the doctor to disclose your condition.
Along with the doctor, Jules is soon called upon by a detective that needs information and prompts Jules' by giving his last known whereabouts- setting sail for a local island with his sister and a few others. Jules then remembers that he had gone to explore an old (haunted?) mansion with his sister and a few (guides?) other men.
When we get to the beginning of Jules' story, most of the party is disappointed with the results of this exploration, and have decided that it is time to depart. Jules' sister, Felice, feels something and needs to go back in to explore just a little more. Jules goes into check on her, and an accident occurs that renders him unconscious.
When he comes to a few hours later, it has grown dark, and so he remembers that there is a lantern in the boat. He goes out to the boat, and can't find any of his party members. After grabbing the lamp, you make your way back inside to look for Felice, and soon find her, but also discover that she's been possessed, and you must run away from her so she doesn't stab you.
This will be the only real conflict for the rest of the game, and it does a great job in creating tension…at first. Felice wanders randomly about the house, and if she catches you, you must mash buttons to push her off, at which point you can run and hide. It's easiest to hide from her by turning off your lantern (which you can do by pressing the Y button), and remaining still.
It sometimes takes way too long for her to leave the room that you're in completely, so it's advisable for you to make your way around her in the dark and then run a few rooms away to continue on your journey. This is actually nearly impossible in handheld mode, as the screen is just too dark, at least for my eyes.
However, when playing in docked mode, I ended up just playing through as much of the game as possible with the lantern off because it was just less likely to attract Felice's attention. Her wandering around begins to be an annoyance after the first couple of encounters because Viviette requires a lot of backtracking.
Viviette does an excellent job setting a creepy atmosphere with its setting of decrepit mansion littered with bloodstains and broken dolls, sound effects that will be familiar to horror fans, and a soundtrack that pulls from the best clichés of the horror spectrum. That soundtrack gets to be a bit repetitive after a while, and it's hard to play with the sound off because that's your best clue that Felice is nearby.
Viviette also has infrequent save points, and a few jump scares to keep you on edge…but it is more Maniac Mansion and less Resident Evil. There are even some great journal entries and lost letters found around the house that tell the backstory in a satisfying way, but the bulk of the gameplay is collecting every item that you run across because it'll probably have a use later. Then, you have to pay attention to specific details of anything that you interact with on a deeper level than a cursory glance, because it is almost assuredly a hint to some future puzzle.
Unfortunately for Viviette, most of these puzzles aren't intuitive in the least, and many are just plain frustrating. How frustrating? Well, some of them are randomized everytime you look at the clue, so if you don't take note of the sequence or the positioning the first time, it will change when you go back to look a second time. How did I know that? Well, I got stuck on one particular puzzle that required the use of a guide, which helpfully explained that I needed to do exactly that- look at the clue again and write it down so that the solution would be freshly reset.
Thankfully, Viviette isn't a difficult game. If you get stuck, you just need to backtrack again until you find the room that you missed or the clue that you misremembered. Maybe you just need to try an item in a new location that wasn't quite obvious the first time around.
It just grows to be very tedious when there is no map in game and you just have to remember where to go, or where you haven't been. Meanwhile, of course, we have possessed Felice skulking the halls trying to get you as you make your way back around the mansion, again. Viviette also provides you with three possible endings, and you need a guide to get the good ending.
You can explore every nook and cranny, check every shadow, open every door, and then find out later on that you missed out on one thing a few hours ago that you no longer have access to. You can still continue on to end the game, but you'll have to restart. Thankfully, Viviette does have a little bit of replay value because of these different endings, and it's a pretty short game, obviously getting shorter with each subsequent playthrough due to not needing to wander around aimlessly to find where everything is.
If you really need a horror fix, Viviette isn't to be completely overlooked- particularly if you're looking for a 16-bit style game that really works within its limitations. While the initial jump scares provided by Felice's appearance wear thin quickly, the creepy imagery and ominous soundtrack keep up the tension, and there are a few other unexpected scares hidden throughout the game. Viviette has some shortcomings, but it is worth a playthrough or two if you miss out on the good ending the first time around.

We would like to touch on the Lyme Park Cleanup day April 15th. Originally scheduled for the 14th but it rained all day. We had 9 volunteers that day. Seventy two (72) man hours. They filled a 30 yard dumpster filled with nothing but shredded wood. Thanks to all who contributed long hard hours that day and even to the residents who cut and piled the wood (from the ice storm) and cleaned along the waterway prior to the scheduled cleanup. Because of the prior cleanup and stacking of the wood this is why the volunteers were so productive that day. This project would have costs a few thousands of dollars if an outside contractor was hired.
The next scheduled park clean up will be Ipswich Park. Scheduled for June 18th. Prior to this clean up date the residents are encouraged to walk out there back door and start clearing their own fence line and stack the brush so that the mower can continue to maintain the parks. No more dumping gumballs, leaves and branches in the parks. The county came around in January after the ice storm to shred the tree branches but not everyone took advantage of this. Perhaps because the knew they could throw in the parks. NO MORE DUMPING LEAVES AND GUMBALLS IN THE PARKS. The day that we rent a dumpster and chipper you can bring your branches by only to be shredded. Do not throw them in the dumpster whole and do not leave them by the dumpster. Come back when the committee is present. You may also bring your leaves and gumballs by. NO plastic is allowed in the dumpster. PLEASE use this opportunity to get rid of your gumballs. If you live around a storm drain, please clean up the gumballs lying in front of it. Most likely it is your sweet gumball tree that is dropping the gumballs. Most of residents have done a good job cleaning up the gumballs but there are a few that have not. Also, clean the gumballs up that you have piled around the base of the tree trunks.
A lot of houses in the subdivision have been up for sale and the grass has gone un-manicured.. Please feel free to notify the agent and have them call the owner to have the lawn mowed. Even some of the homeowners have not taken care of their own lawns. St. Charles County Code Enforcement will write you up if the grass exceeds 10 inches.
Don't forget to clean up your fence line in the parks. If you see the committee cleaning up the parks, please feel free to join them.
Keep your trees trimmed. If they are in your yard, then they are your responsibility. Do you want to be responsible for an electric outage? There is a tree company that has been working with the subdivision. If you can wait until he has other scheduled work in the area then it could save you some $$$.
Thanks to all who have continuously maintained their biggest investment in there lifetime.
Please remember, there are to be no new fences, sheds, or buildings installed or built without the prior approval from the Trustees.
Unfortunately, "NO BASEBALL" is allowed in Orton Park, due to the fact that older boys, teens and adults are hitting the ball with all of there might and they are hitting homeowners personal property.
The next quarterly meeting is May 23rd, 2007 at Jefferson Middle School, in the cafeteria at 7:00 pm
Sincerely, Trustees of St. Charles Hills Subdivision


text: Surprised to hear DT hasn't really cracked the UK... there seems to be a ton of DT fans wherever I go and you guys had huge support at Bloodstock last year. A shame you couldn't manage at least one UK date in London, maybe at Camden Underground or something, I'm sure it'd sell at least as well as Dream Evil or other bands who have been there. Glad I got to see you guys during Bloodstock and the Eastpak tour last year (despite having to sit through Sonic Syndicate and Caliban).

Four CMU students presented their research at the Western Colorado Undergraduate Sociology Conference
Sociology students from four Colorado colleges gathered at Colorado Mesa University's campus to present their research at the Western Colorado Undergraduate Sociology Conference.
"This year brought a particularly high number of participants from the four programs, resulting in an exciting conference sparking new ideas for sociological research, collaboration and outreach," said Assistant Professor of Sociology Megan Henley, PhD.
Student research topics ranged from race and ethnicity to culture and environmentalism.
"The event is not only enjoyable and intellectually stimulating, but also a unique opportunity for students to meet with one another, talk about their work, and gain professional insight and experience," Henley said.
Several students who presented their research at the conference plan to use this research to continue their education after they graduate this spring. Other students plan to enter social work, policing, therapy or teaching.
Four CMU students presented their research at the conference:
- Gerald Ellis, The Relationship between Religious Service Attendance and Support for Abortion
- Mikaela Lopez, America's Tale of Minority Racism: How Minorities Face Peril in Urban Spaces
- Perry Peters, Saving the Garden of Eden: A Study on Religion and Environmental Concern
- Mackenzie Brown, The Error of Attribution: How Perceptions of Mental Illness Influence Attributions
"The most rewarding aspect of the conference was gathering with other students who share the same passions as me," said senior Mikaela Lopez. "Sure, we all spoke about different topics, but coming together to think sociologically with students from different schools was a refreshing experience."
The conference also included a panel of sociologists who presented and discussed their original research.

Another handset that tries too hard? Not quite. We actually would like to see this Sony Ericsson mobile phone with a full-size USB port on store shelves. At least that's one designer Vincent Palicki's dream.
But it's far from reality. From the picture, the concept phone is shown together with a Sony Micro Vault Tiny with exposed USB contacts, so we're not sure if flash storage devices with shielded contacts would work. Also, the alphanumeric keypad could do with larger keys and the control panel more tactility. What were we thinking? This is just a concept model.

The 9:01: City core stories, Whalum brothers, more
Good morning in Memphis, where if you haven't started your Thanksgiving grocery shopping you might be too late, but first …
Core City, ICYMI: Three stories from this weekend about Memphis' core and its future, in case you missed them:
Wayne Risher reports on a talk from Downtown Memphis Commission honcho Terence Patterson about the organization's focus one year into his tenure:
"Our goal is to offer a safe, welcoming walk between the Convention Center and Beale Street and throughout the entire Downtown core. So we'll be aggressively addressing blighted buildings and underused land to turn those into exciting development opportunities."
"A closer look must be taken at the Main Street Mall, and new strategies must be implemented to raise the standards of transportation, cleanliness, public realm and other challenges in order for it to realize its full potential," Patterson said.
Kevin McKenzie reports on financial incentives to lure medical district employees to live where they work:
Lures of cash, up to $2,000 for renters and $15,000 for homebuyers, are being used to convince more employees and students in the Memphis Medical District to live where they work and study.
Five health care and education "anchor institutions" in the medical district east of Downtown are stimulating demand for residential growth with a new "Live Local 901" program managed by the Memphis Medical District Collaborative.
Ted Evanoff on the launch of the Memphis 3.0 planning process:
Today, the planners and civic elite behind Memphis 3.0 are in their own way trying to revive this city's social capital. Their compass is no longer the 1982 assumption of the automobile's irrevocable hold on how people live. What has emerged in urban planning circles in America is the idea that it's time to listen to people.
"In the last few years there has been increased emphasis on the community driving decision making in the (comprehensive) plans,'' said John Zeanah, deputy director of Memphis and Shelby County Division of Planning and Development.
Grim Milestone: A man shot and killed outside of James Lounge on Summer Avenue early Monday became the city's 200th homicide victim. This has been a particularly deadly year in Memphis. There haven't been more homicides in the city since 1993, when Memphis had a record 213 homicides.
Big Night for the Whalums: Memphis brothers Kameron Whalum and Kenneth Whalum III were both busy making music last night. Kameron helped open the American Music Awards as a member of Bruno Mars' band:
Meanwhile, Kenneth was a sideman for R&B singer Maxwell at his double-bill concert with Mary J. Blige at FedExForum last night:
Before the concert, Maxwell talked to Bob Mehr, who had this to say about the son of Memphis in his band:
"He's played a very valuable part in what I've been doing, especially in these last couple records. He's got such an amazing vibe. He's really one of the guys who helps make things special for me."
Speak On It:
"The Memphis Police Department is not in the business of enforcing federal immigration policy, nor do we believe that is MPD's function or mission. It's not something that we do, and it's not something we intend to do. Memphis is a welcoming city that values diversity and each and every one of our citizens. And it will continue to be that way." -- Mayor Jim Strickland, in response to questions about how the city might react to new immigration policies resulting from this month's presidential election.
Let's Talk About Food: OK, so about this:
First of all, cornbread, biscuits and rolls aren't sides. They're bread. What's wrong with you people? And I'm not sure sure salad really applies either. So, allowing that half the map has cause to call for a recount, we'll still note that, to the surprise of absolutely no one, the South is the big winner here. Sides on my menu this Thursday: Cornbread-andouille dressing, mashed potatoes & gravy, collard greens and, yep, macaroni & cheese.
Speaking of Thanksgiving and cheese, I did some early grocery shopping for the holiday yesterday, and in the area Kroger I was at (not the "new" Kroger), stockers were busy setting up a display of holiday staples, including bags of stuffing, canned cranberry sauce and, well, welcome to Memphis everybody:
(I picked up a container of Pancho's instead.)
And by one measure, that meal might be a little more affordable this year.
Outside Reactions: Not making it to this year's Indie Memphis will be one of my greatest regrets this year. (I had planned a full-immersion Saturday to make up for conflicts on other days, then got a stomach bug that day.) But a writer from Brooklyn magazine was there, and files this report, calling Indie Memphis "one of the more satisfying regional film festivals around." Some of the other beyond-the-festival travel writing here is presumptuous in that familiar way of writers who parachute in for a couple of days, but still worth a read.
A writer for MTV News was also in town for a pre-election travelogue. I would raise an eyebrow about overgeneralizing off of chance encounters, but I would rather co-sign this intro to the article's Memphis section:
Otis Redding. Sam & Dave. Booker T. and the M.G.'s. Rufus Thomas. Isaac Hayes. Memphis Minnie. Howlin' Wolf. Jerry Lee Lewis. Johnny Cash. Elvis Presley. If Americans can be proud of anything anymore, we can be proud of the music that came out of Memphis. The sounds produced in this city deserve to outlast civilization.
Quick-and-Pop: Won't be able to have a Pick-and-Pop column up today, ahead of tonight's game (look for something tomorrow), so I'll offer a quick(-and-pop) preview here. The Grizzlies take a four-game win streak into Charlotte for a 6 p.m. tip against the Hornets, who at 8-4 are currently third place in the East. The Grizzlies will be without Chandler Parsons, who will miss at least a couple of weeks with a bone bruise in his left knee (not the surgically repaired one), and despite coming off their two most convincing wins of the season over the weekend, will need to score better tonight against the Hornets' Top 5 NBA defense. Tony Allen is listed as questionable after re-aggravating a groin injury. His defense would be useful in helping slow down the Hornets' top scorer, guard Kemba Walker, who's having an under-the-radar great season so far. Charlotte is less imposing on the interior, so this would be a good night for Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph to try to control the game.
The real Grizzlies star of a 2-0 weekend, though, was homegrown dance star Lil Buck, who took to the court during a stoppage of play and got a big ovation from Tony Allen and Zach Randolph as he jooked his way back to his seats:
Knowledge Bowl Mea Culpa: I thought I'd set my DVR to record every Knowledge Bowl match, but Saturday's broadcast didn't record for some reason, so the promised weekly Knowledge Bowl Recap hits a second-week hiccup. We'll get back on track next week.
The Fadeout: American music lost a good one over the weekend in R&B singer Sharon Jones. The Fadeout will pay respects to her tomorrow. But for Live Musician Monday, we'll tip our hat to a legend still with us. Richard Wayne "Little Richard" Penniman will turn 84 years forever young next month. Jerry Lee Lewis' piano-pounding rival in the 1950s, Little Richard was the most anarchic of the first-generation rock-and-rollers, and a smuggler who pushed boundaries of race and sexuality in pop songs whose colorful surfaces hid their confrontational depths. Unofficial statement of principles: "Slippin' and a slidin'/Peepin' and a hidin'/I won't be your fool no more." I think I've played this soul food anthem before, but to start off Thanksgiving week, I had to bring it back:

Jean Todt, 72, now FIA President, also revealed he had pictures of Schumacher "hanging everywhere" in his office.
Michael Schumacher was critically injured on December 29, 2013 while skiing with his son Mick in Meribel in the French Alps.
Due to the severity of his injuries he still needs round the clock care.
Todt made the revelations as he picked up a Lifetime Achievement Award from the German magazine Auto Bild.
He said: "I am very touched, I almost cry. If you succeed, you will be glad if you can give something back. That's what I do now as President of the FIA."
Speaking about the 49-year-old racing champ, he said: "Pictures of him hang everywhere in my offices and apartments.
"The time with Michael will always be remembered as the best of my life.
"We love each other because we wrote an incredible story together.
"And because we always stuck together in difficult times."
He also stated he visited Schumacher's home in Gland, Switzerland "a minimum of twice a month".
Last month German archbishop Georg Ganswein told how he had made an emotional visit to see the seven-times F1 champion in 2016.
He said although Schumacher's face has "become a little fuller" the record-breaking driver still looks the same as he did when last seen by his millions of fans.
"I sat opposite him, took hold of both hands and looked at him," the 62-year-old – who is one of Pope Francis's key advisers – said according to German newspaper Bild.
"He senses that loving people are around him, caring for him and, thank God, keeping the overly curious public away."

It was cast from bronze by the cannon and bell maker Andrei Chokhov in 1586, during the reign of the third son of Ivan the Terrible. The gun is 5.34 meters long, with a caliber of 120 cm and a mass of almost 40 metric tons.
We are all accustomed to seeing this gun atop its ornamental lion's head carriage, with cannon balls lying nearby. However, the carriage and cannon balls were made much later, in 1835. Moreover,
Its current nickname is also a later
But according to legend, the cannon did fire one salvo—the ashes of the usurper False Dmitry.
To this day, the cannon stands proud and mighty in the very heart of the Russian capital, a visible sign of Russian military power that no foreign ambassador or tourist can ignore.
In early 2017, the newly sworn-in US President Donald Trump ordered America's most massive bomb, the GBU-43, to be dropped on the heads of militants in Afghanistan. It was known in common parlance as the "Mother of All Bombs." However, Russia's arsenal contains an equivalent: the Aviation Thermobaric Bomb of Increased Power, or more simply the "Father of All Bombs."
In terms of destructive power, Russia's FOAB compares with a nuclear warhead. But unlike the latter, it does not leave behind a radioactive cloud, thanks to the so-called volumetric explosion.
"Warheads of this type, but with a lower yield, have been used in various wars over the past
The nose of the Russian bomb houses a device that when activated sprays explosive agents inside the charge. The "spraying" occurs only after a countdown set by the operator.

In 1913, Russian aeronautical engineer Igor Sikorsky created the S-21 Russky Vityaz (Russian Knight), the first in the list of world's largest aircraft to be built in Russia. The main feature is its four engines positioned in series along the wing. Back then, such design was considered impossible to implement in practice.
Russian Knight was so enormous that reports of test flights were dismissed as a hoax. On Aug. 2, 1913, the aircraft set a world record for flight duration (1 hr 54 min)—the first of many domestic aviation records. Also in 1913, the S-21 served as the basis for the creation of the famous S-22 Ilya Muromets, the world's first

I see from an article in the Age that the Fitzroy artist Alexander Knox has created a light installation on the old Royal Mail building, on the corner of Bourke and Swanston Street.
Wow! That looks better! By light of day it really is a rather unprepossessing modernist building. Whenever I see that AC/DC film clip of the band travelling down Swanston Street on a flatbed truck, I notice 'my' building and try to imagine that it was ever viewed as anything except ugly.
What was there before? Apparently, the Royal Mail Hotel, built in 1848 and named because its owner E. B. Green had the contract for carrying mail by stagecoach throughout Victoria. Its second licencee was William Johnston Sudgen, previously Melbourne's Chief Constable – nice little career shift there.
According to Robyn Annear's A City Lost & Found, construction works to modify the building during the 1930s uncovered a wall containing bricks bearing thumbprints- generally considered to be a mark of convict manufacture. The brick-clay was examined by a visiting Tasmanian, who asserted that it was of Port Arthur origin, and the bricks were declared to be among Melbourne's oldest.
(I am ashamed to confess that I have wasted nearly half an hour investigating when convicts were withdrawn from Port Phillip- a wild-goose chase prompted by my failure to finish reading the paragraph in Robyn Annear's book! Stopping mid-sentence at the words "convict manufacture", it struck me that 1848 was very late to have convicts still working in Melbourne. Half an hour later: I was right. Convict transportation from UK to New South Wales was suspended in 1840, and on 28 Oct 1843 Governor Gipps instructed LaTrobe to send the remaining convict gangs in Port Phillip up to Sydney. But they were still here 0n 13 December 1844 because Gipps again proposed withdrawing all the convicts, in exchange for the receipt of a cargo of Exiles- prisoners who had served 1-2 years in Pentonville prison before being issued with conditional pardons to take up as settlers (not prisoners) in New South Wales. A.G.L. Shaw writes that 1727 Pentonville exiles had landed in Port Phillip between 1844 and 1849 until popular protest against them culminated in the turning away of ships containing exiles and redirecting them to Sydney. So- Port Phillip convicts didn't make the bricks in 1848. As, of course, Robyn Annear went on to say, had I read further.)
According to the excellent Walking Melbourne site, the old Royal Mail hotel was sold to the British company Hammerson Property and Investments Trust for 455,000 pounds. In October 1960 the hotel was demolished and this wonderful structure erected in its place.
I worked on both the fourth and third floors from about 2003-6. At first I was on the third floor in an office without windows located just behind the blue billboard at the bottom of the picture at the top of the page. At the time, there was a television screen mounted on the building, and I used to fantasize, in moments of extreme boredom, of sticking my head through the wall and emerging in the middle of the screen to survey the people below. I later moved onto the fourth floor to the rear of the building where my window overlooked the rooftops of the rather unsavoury cafe/restaurants fronting Swanston Street. However, it did give me a new appreciation for the copulatory habits of pigeons who inhabited the 'pigeon brothel' there.
On the other hand, working there did give a wonderful view of Melbourne. The Melbourne Cup march would go straight past, and political marches would stream by. Unfortunately the AFL Grand Final march turned up Collins Street instead, so I couldn't watch that one. There's a great little 'structure' of a pig with wings mounted on a pole on the corner which you can only see if you look up, but was directly in our line of sight. When the building across the road (that in my childhood had a rather evil Santa beckoning children onto the Foy's rooftop garden each Christmas) was owned by Nike, we would watch spellbound as huge advertising posters were erected obscuring the building completely. However, the metal-man busker with his synthesizer loses his appeal after listening to him all day, and dog-lover though I am, a bait would be too good for the cattle dogs who bark twice at the end of each line of 'How much is that doggie in the window?" sung ad nauseum for hours by the Slim-Dusty lookalike on the corner opposite.
So, good on you Alexander Knox. It looks beautiful, and I can't wait to see it.

It's been awhile since I've done any hand stitching. Today I found some fabric that I really liked and started 2 by 2 until I had a grid. Wool because it is warm in the hand.
Overlaid now with the screen that has been catching raindrops all day.
Weather report: High winds but from the south so it is warmer, heavy rains, dark sky.
And then because I started considering the difference between knitting and sewing I started knitting...
Thinking about my desire to make things whole, to put things back together.
And that returns me to a favorite book... Finding Beauty in a Broken World by Terry Tempest Williams.
"I trust what I can touch. The surface of things is what we touch."
And because it fits the day...A favorite song, Autumn Lullaby by Natalie Merchant, that can be listened to here.

In Mons
Triduum in honor of the Beatification of the Ursulines of Valenciennes
The analyst in Mons relates this important event : On Sunday, June 13, 1920, His Holiness Benedict XV beatified solemnly our eleven Venerable Ursuline Sisters, Martyrs in Valenciennes. It was a day of glory for the Order of Saint Ursula.
Our Monastery, who had the privilege of welcoming the future heroins from September 17, 1792, to November 11, 1793, did not miss this opportunity of being united with the Ursulines of the whole world, in order to celebrate the glorication of their Blessed Sisters.
However, because of different circumstances, these solemnities were celebrated only in 1921, on June 13, 14 and 15. This Triduum was a very solemn one. The Clergy from the 4 parishes of the city contributed to the singing of the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Father Verstrepen, Director of the Consular School (University) in Mons, was the preacher for this circumstance. He made an excellent sermon on our Blessed Sisters.
Thursday, June 16, was the day for our Association of Past Pupils. Many of them arrived, all shining with happiness to see their former teachers again, and their dear Boarding School. A gorgeous musical and literary performance was given to them. The play was on "The martyr of the Blessed Ursulines of Valenciennes"; These young actresses played their role so easily and naturally, that the audience was in tears. A picture was taken of the Ursulines: (They photographed the group of makeshift Ursulines and this gave them a great joy!) After the play, we went to the dining room that was elegantly decorated. Lunch was awaiting our kind guests. It was the moment for cordial exchanges and toasts, cheered up with joyful laughter.

Actually, even if the Sisters and the Ursuline School are in another part of the city, the old bell tower continues to welcome proudly all the persons who come to Mons by train.

The Richest US States and Cities by UHNW Population.
California is the state with the highest number of ultra wealthy individuals in the United States, according to the Wealth-X Special Report on America's Ultra Wealthy Population. New York City maintained its status as the city with the largest ultra wealthy population in the United States – and in the world.
There are 13,445 ultra high net worth (UHNW) individuals – defined as those with US$30 million and above in net assets – based in California. These individuals are mostly located in San Francisco (5,460) and Los Angeles (5,135). California's UHNW population is larger than the UHNW population of the United Kingdom (11,510).
The state of New York ranks second in the United States with 9,530 UHNW individuals, 8,655 or 91% of whom are based in New York City.
"Breaking down America's UHNW population by state, we see that some states are particularly significant: for example, there are more UHNW individuals in California than in the United Kingdom, there are more UHNW individuals in New York than there are in India, and there are more UHNW individuals in Texas than in all of Canada," says the report.
Alaska was the only US state to experience a decline in GDP over the last year, while Hawaii experienced no growth. It is therefore not surprising that, in the last year, Alaska and Hawaii experienced no growth in their UHNW populations, while New Mexico and Vermont only saw an increase of five UHNW individuals over the same time period. Wisconsin and Connecticut also experienced disappointing growth, with their UHNW populations increasing by less than 3%, adding only 30 and 35 UHNW individuals, respectively. Those four states also experienced below average GDP growth.
Below are other highlights from the special report: The United States is home to the world's largest population of billionaires (571).
- There are more UHNW individuals worth US$30 – US$49 million in the United States than there are UHNW individuals of all wealth tiers combined in any other single country.
- There are more UHNW individuals in Texas, the United States' third largest state, than in all of Canada.
- California and New York added 865 and 585 UHNW individuals respectively to their populations in 2014, the largest increase in UHNW population size among US states.
- North Dakota's UHNW population grew 14.3%, making it the state with the fastest growing UHNW population.
- Florida's UHNW population increased by more than 10%, adding almost 500 new individuals over the past year, due to strong growth in the state's financial and real estate sectors.
- Michigan added almost 200 new UHNW individuals in 2014 due to rising confidence in the state's economic outlook.

I started Gunners Firearms Training to provide gun enthusiasts firearms safety training, fundamentals of marksmanship, and defensive markmanship.
I am a retired Marine with over 22 years of service and over 30 years of firearms training and experience. As a Marine, I served as a Primary Markmanship Instructor (PMI), Range Safery Officer (RSO), and as a Marine Corps Rifleman. I am a 5th award expert with the pistol and 6th award expert with the rifle.
I am a certified USCCA Firearms Instructor and I am a Qualified Handgun Instructor in the state of Maryland.
I instruct shooter of all levels, weather you are a beginner and never fired a gun before or an advance shooter looking to get that quarter sized grouping.
I enjoy with working with student with all levels of experience, beginner to expert. Seeing students who never fired a gun, overcome their neverousness and are excited after they hit the center of the target. Or, an experienced shooter's satisfaction of shooting a tight grouping from 25 yards is why I like being a firearms instructor.
Read more about this pro
He was very knowledgeable, patient & had great customer service skills.
Mr. Norman provided professional expert instruction which made a novice like me feel like I was capable of completing the training. The lessons were well structured, paced, embedded with real life scenarios, including how to create a personal and home safety plan. I also had the opportunity to practice using a firearm at a small arms range. This first time I ever did this in my life. Most importantly, Mr. Norman's background experience helps you understand how and why it's important to be a RESPONSIBLE gun owner. I encourage anyone especially women to take Mr. Norman's class. R. Christian
He was knowledgeable, thorough, helpful, and friendly.
James emphasized the topics that matched our specific needs and interested. He did a great job,
My process is accomplished in 3 steps:
1. Classroom - lecture, slides, and videos are used to provide students safety information, handling guns and MD gun laws.
2. Practical Application - disasemble and assemble firearms, clearing and loading firearms, cleaning, storing and staging firearms.
3. Live Fire
Certified Instructor from USCCA and/or NRA. Several years of gun safety, and handling.
MD Handgun Quaification License - $135.00
MD Wear and Carry Permit (Conceal Carry) - $250.00
Private Lessons - $55.00 per hour/Couples - $75.00 per hour
I would advise the student to do their research and hire someone they feel they will be comfortable with.
Students should think through the reason they are seeking firearms training. Next, the purpose of the gun they plan to purchase or already own. Finally, in Maryland, if they have a good and reasonable reason to get a concealed carry permit.

These Apps Should Top The PA Mobile Sports Betting Market
In a 6-3 decision released on May 14, 2018, the Supreme Court of the United States declared the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) unconstitutional.
PASPA was the law that created a ban on full-scale sports betting in almost every state outside Nevada. Limited sports wagering in Delaware, Montana, and Oregon was also grandfathered in.
PASPA's repeal opened the door for all 50 states to legalize full-scale sports betting and all signs pointed to Pennsylvania walking right through it. However, in the weeks following the Supreme Court decision, as states like Delaware and New Jersey rushed to launch legal sports betting, Pennsylvania sports betting came to a stand still.
The PA sports betting stalemate
Pennsylvania lawmakers voted in favor of sports betting legislation pending PASPA's repeal as a part of a comprehensive gambling expansion bill passed in October 2017.
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control (PGCB) put together regulations to govern the industry from the legislation and as May 2018 came to a close, the state's 13 casino license holders were invited to apply for the right to establish sportsbooks. However, none did.
A $10 million sportsbook licensing fee and 36 percent tax rate on sports betting revenue is the likely reason why. New Jersey isn't going to charge even half that.
It appears, at least for now, Pennsylvanians who want to bet legally on sports will have to go to neighboring states like Delaware or New Jersey to do it. In fact, Delaware launched sports betting at its three racetrack casinos June 5. A couple days later, New Jersey lawmakers passed regulatory legislation for sports betting at racetracks and casinos there. The market, including live and mobile sportsbook operations, is expected to open up almost immediately after NJ Gov. Phil Murphy signs the bill into law.
For now, in PA, the state's 13 casino license holders will likely continue to work behind the scenes to prepare for the launch of sports betting in the Commonwealth.
That means inking deals with live and mobile sportsbook operators anticipating the market will eventually launch. The following sports betting app companies are pretty much already in PA and eagerly awaiting the opportunity to take bets:
Rush Street Interactive is an affiliate of Rush Street Gaming. The company that owns and operates Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh and SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia.
Rush Street Interactive also runs an online casino site in New Jersey under its PlaySugarhouse.com brand. The site operates under the Golden Nugget Atlantic City internet gambling license.
Just days after the Supreme Court decision, Rush Street Interactive announced it had entered into a partnership with Kambi Group plc, a global supplier of sports betting services. The plan is to integrate Kambi's market-leading sportsbook technology into Rush Street Interactive's proprietary online gaming platform.
Rush Street said it plans to launch a sportsbook solution in selected states where it is permitted. That would presumably include PA at some point.
In 2014, Mount Airy Casino Resort struck a partnership with online gambling giant 888 Holdings.
There are links to the 888 Casino New Jersey online gambling site on the Mount Airy website. Plus, Mount Airy operates a free-to-play social casino site, Play Mount Airy, employing 888 software.
888 is likely to be Mount Airy Casino Resort's real-money online gaming partner in PA. Considering 888 also runs a successful mobile sports betting app in the UK, the relationship could be extended to include online and mobile sports betting in PA as well.
Caesars Entertainment's Harrah's Philadelphia property could be a partner for 888 Sports in PA as well. Caesars Entertainment subsidiary Caesars Interactive Entertainment runs its World Series of Poker-branded online poker sites in Nevada and New Jersey using 888 Poker software.
Scientific Games and NYX
Two online gambling giants merged when Scientific Games took over NYX in 2017.
At the time, Scientific Games said the acquisition put it in perfect position to capitalize on future regulatory developments in real-money wagering and sports betting by adding NYX's industry-leading OpenBet Sportsbook product.
Scientific and NYX already have some strong relationships in the PA casino industry.
It is the software developer behind Penn National Gaming's online and mobile free-to-play social casino site HollywoodCasino.com. Penn National Gaming is based in PA and owns and operates two PA casinos: Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course and Meadows Racetrack and Casino.
Plus, Caesars Interactive Entertainment and Mohegan Sun-run online gambling operations in New Jersey run on the NYX online gaming software platform.
GAN and SBTech
Parx, the state's top-grossing casino, is owned by Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment. The company also has an interest in the the currently-under-development Stadium Casino in Philadelphia.
Parx inked an agreement with gaming solutions provider GAN in November 2014 to have it run online gambling operations for the casino when such operations become legal.
In 2015, GAN revealed it will provide Parx with an internet gaming system for all forms of real money internet gaming, including poker, once the state enacts legislation to regulate online gambling. That happened in 2017 and the regulatory and licensing process is underway.
In January 2018, sports betting solutions supplier SBTech launched a strategic relationship with GAN. The idea is it will supply real-money sports betting services to GAN's portfolio of US casino operator clients.
Therefore, it looks like Parx will eventually be getting an SBTech and GAN powered mobile sports betting app as well.
Additionally, just days after the Supreme Court decision, horse racing giant Churchill Downs inked a deal with Golden Nugget to enter the NJ sports betting and online gambling market under its license. Churchill Downs also announced it had entered into a partnership with SBTech to utilize its integrated online and mobile sports betting technology.
In March 2018, Churchill bought PA's Presque Isle Downs & Casino for $178.9 million.
Boyd Gaming and Miomni
In December 2017, Las Vegas gaming and hospitality company Boyd Gaming bought Valley Forge Casino Resort for $280 million.
Back in Nevada, Boyd runs the BConnected Sports mobile sports betting app. BConnected Sports uses the Miomni Gaming software platform. Of course, Miomni Gaming also provides its software platform to Caesars' mobile sports betting app in Nevada as well. Miomni might not get into PA with Boyd and Valley Forge. However, it's just as likely to get in with Caesars and Harrah's Philadelphia.
William Hill and Eldorado Resorts
British bookmaker William Hill owns and operates 107 of the 190 legal sports books in Nevada. It also has a mobile sports betting app there. Add it up and it is currently the country's leading sportsbook operator.
It also has plans to open sportsbooks and provide mobile betting solutions at one of three New Jersey racetracks and one of nine Atlantic City casinos. These are moves that have William Hill poised to get even bigger.
William Hill has a long-standing relationship with Eldorado Resorts. It runs several sportsbooks for the company in Nevada. In fact, William Hill agreed to upgrade and operate the sportsbooks at two of its Reno properties in 2016. This includes the Silver Legacy and Circus Circus Resort Casinos.
PA's Lady Luck Casino Nemacolin is owned by Eldorado Resorts.

As the speed of business continues to accelerate, processes need to work faster and become more efficient. The COVID-19 pandemic has also prompted a renewed emphasis on increasing remote worker productivity. That's why more organizations are turning to robotic process automation (RPA) to automate repetitive tasks and processes—and ultimately enhance performance and productivity.
Many industry analysts believe that RPA will achieve near universal adoption in the next few years. While automated processes are poised to play a big role in the future of work, businesses must come to grips with the reality that adoption doesn't always yield success or value. Success depends on more than simple technology adoption. In fact, nearly half of the automation projects that fail do so because of wrong process choice. Another key factor in a project's failure is insufficient change management.
Why you need to see the road ahead
To ensure your RPA project is a success, it's important to plan ahead and think through all the pieces involved in the process you're trying to automate. Who are the people involved in the process and where are their touchpoints? What does the process look like from beginning to end and how can you optimize that workflow with technology? How will RPA enforce mandatory process steps in order to meet audit and compliance requirements?
You'll also want to think about and consider the long-term goals of your operations. How does a particular automation fit into your future big-picture process plans? While it can be difficult to design and implement a disciplined process, it's critical to getting the RPA project right the first time.
Identify your purpose
For more than 20 years, our team has used a proactive management approach for every project. We work closely with our clients to identify the purpose behind every automation project and work to understand the why, before moving on to the how. And that, our customers will agree, is the key to a successful RPA project.
Our project management team approaches every RPA bot project with the same objectives and standards. Before we start building automations, programming, we strive to understand your business goals, objectives, and measures of success. We make sure your existing processes are working properly before turning to the automation—because if an existing process is already broken, automation alone won't fix it.
Ensure successful adoption
When our team starts building a bot, we create detailed and thorough documentation along the way to ensure that it will be successfully adopted by potential business users. Throughout the development process, our team will consider different decision points as they design the bot workflow and think about how your users will execute tasks. We also create and provide the business user documentation—which is critical for your business users to understand how the bot was built and how to use it.
Let's do this work together
Done right, RPA not only saves companies time and money but also frees up employees to focus on higher-value work. For more than 20 years, WhiteLight Group has helped organizations across a variety of industries to simplify, standardize, and optimize business processes. Our company values serve as the roadmap to ensure each job is done right the first time. In fact, our motto is a job worth doing is worth doing right, using the highest standards of integrity, professionalism, and technical competence. Contact us today to find out how we can help.

With the hospitality and tourism sector being a major pillar of the Northern Territory (NT) economy and with growth forecasted, the NT is keen to:
- maximise opportunities for locals
- ensure there is a sufficient workforce to sustain and grow this vibrant industry.
The hospitality and tourism sector employs around 17,000 staff each year. With a very high demand for staff across a wide range of roles, hospitality and tourism businesses and local employees will benefit from a focus on strengthening the workforce, building the skills of employees and attracting local staff to longer term career opportunities and development.
The department's licensing team, business services, workforce development and tourism teams work closely with the sector.
Industry partnerships
Food tourism
Tourism NT works closely with Hospitality NT to deliver a range of programs and encourage the development of new visitor experiences. Prior to COVID-19, 50 cents in each $1 spent in a café, restaurant or takeaway food outlet could be attributed to a visitor.
In 2019, Tourism NT and Hospitality NT partnered to deliver the Signature Series program which encouraged local hospitality businesses to profile a hero local ingredient in their signature dish or drink. The program included photography, web content development and promotional activities, with the content developed through this series forming a core component of food tourism promotions. A masterclass on food styling and photography was also offered through the Signature Series program, which was well subscribed by the hospitality sector.
Tourism NT supports the annual Hospitality NT Gold Plate Awards, a prime opportunity to showcase the best of the Territory's restaurant and dining establishments, and recognise and promote excellence and best practice across the sector. The Territory's unique food and drink offerings also continue to be promoted through Tourism NT's trade and media familiarisation programs. A particular highlight was chef, former food critic and TV host Matthew Evans presenting at the 2019 Hospitality NT industry forum to discuss the importance of food provenance.
To find out more, go to the Tourism NT website.
One of the NT Government's priorities is to reduce alcohol-related harm. Licensing NT also works in partnership with hospitality venues to fulfil this aim by ensuring regulation of the sale, service, promotion and supply of liquor in a way that stimulates and promotes the hospitality and tourism industries.
Compliance officers provide advice to hospitality venues about their individual licence conditions and legislative obligations, as well as conduct education campaigns and inspections to ensure licensees are operating lawfully.
Find out more about:
- alcohol consumption data
- wholesale alcohol supply data
- alcohol minimum floor price
- liquor and hospitality laws on the Northern Territory Government website
- alcohol policy and legislation review on the NT Health website
- data relating to alcohol-related assault as part of the NT crime statistics on the NTG Open Data Portal.
