On a beautiful Thursday in April, Brisbane shoppers arrived at James Street ready to fill their closets at the annual Marie Claire Up Late shopping night. This annual Brisbane event was jam packed with one-night-only discounts, giveaways and lots of in-store marketing brand activations to impress.
Gathering Events had the pleasure of working with some of Australia's best brands to help them bring their brand to life through marketing actiavtions and pop ups to keep guests entertained.
Keeping customers refreshed whilst they browsed their latest collection, we created an in store pop up Aperol Spritz bar for Bec & Bridge.
Making an impact in the main outdoor event area, our mobile Caravan Bar for hire was custom branded and home to The Daily Edited for the night. This unique pop up shop was the perfect setting to feature their products, and to host their on site monogram machine, allowing shoppers to purchase and personalise their new items and gifts on the spot.
Meanwhile down the street, the decision between salty or sweet was one of the toughest of the night with our nostalgic yet modern popcorn cart for hire. Aje brought shoppers in store with our mobile popcorn cart that sat pretty out the front of their store, offering complimentary and delicious popcorn which was handed out by our charming popcorn cart attendant. To make it even more impressive, our mobile cart and popcorn cups were custom branded to really bring the brand to life.
A few stores down, Kookai kept customers coming back for more with their custom branded donut cart. On the catering menu for the night were delicious donuts, specifically created by Gathering Events to feature their new seasonal blue colour spectrum, because you can never have too many blue sprinkles or icing!

UPDATE – SEP. 13, 2012: Box Office Mojo has also backed up speculation that the 300 prequel will now be called "300: Rise of An Empire". Several hours after this story was originally published, Box Office Mojo posted the movie title change to its website from "Untitled '300' Sequel" to "300: Rise of An Empire".
ORIGINAL STORY – SEP. 12, 2012 @ 4:21 AM EST: Is the upcoming prequel to 300 called '300: Battle of Artemisia' getting a new title?
There appears to be a possibility that the film may be renamed.
Sparking speculation are some interesting domain registrations made this week by the brand protection company MarkMonitor, the same firm responsible for registering the Battle of Artemisa names back in January of this year.
The list of new domains registered privately by MarkMonitor on September 10, 2012, include 300-riseofanempire.com (Whois), 300riseofanempire.com (Whois), 300theriseofanempire.com (Whois) and RiseofanEmpire.com (Whois).
Each name was registered anonymously using MarkMonitor's Whois privacy service DNStination, but you can bet the company behind the names is Warner Bros. Warner Bros.' very own warnerbros.com (Whois) is managed through MarkMonitor.
If the film is retitled, it wouldn't be the first time.
In June 2011, Deadline reported that the 300 prequel, first known as "Xerxes", would be retitled to 300: Battle of Artemisia.
One thing is for sure, "Rise of An Empire" is much easier to spell than "Battle of Artemisia", but if the name is changing, that's probably not the only driver.
At the time of this story, none of the new domains resolve to a web page. A quick check of other top level domains, shows that MarkMonitor only pursued the .coms, leaving other domains available.
The 300 prequel, whatever it is called, is scheduled to be in theaters on August 2, 2013.

People Among the People: The Public Art of Susan Point
by Robert D. Watt
Susan Point's unique artworks have been credited with almost single-handedly reviving the traditional Coast Salish art style. Once nearly lost to the effect of colonization, the crescents, wedges, and human and animal forms characteristic of traditional Coast Salish art can now been seen around the world – reinvigorated with modern materials and techniques – in her serigraphs and public art installations, as well as the works of a new generation of artists that she's inspired.
While the images and symbolism of Point's work are often informed by surviving traditional Salish works and the Traditional Knowledge of her Musqueam family and Elders, she has developed a unique and contemporary style that continues to evolve.
People Among People beautifully displays the breadth and depth of her public art, from cast bronze faces in Whistler to massive carved cedar portals in Stanley Park to moulded polymer murals in Seattle.
Through interviews and archival access, Robert D. Watt gathers the story of each piece, often in Point's own words, to illustrate the vital role she has played in revealing the re-establishing the "Salish footprint" in the Pacific Northwest. An artist's statement by Point and an essay by Dr. Michael Kew complete this portrait of a profoundly moving collection of artworks.

S'abadeb The Gifts: Pacific Coast Salish Art and Artists
Barbara Brotherton
Coast Salish oral traditions, history and artistry from prehistory to the present is captured in this visually stunning book.
A principal at the heart of Salish culture is a reciprocal exchange of physical, spiritual and intangible gifts, including songs, spirit powers, titles, names, food, natural resources and artistic creations. The term for "gifts" in Lushootseed, a Coast Salish dialect, is S'abadeb and this book illuminates the concept by exploring the intersection of art with ceremony, oral traditions, the land, and contemporary realities.

Turkish presidential spokesperson Ibrahim Kalin said on Friday that the Turkish government would continue to pursue overseas operations against dissidents living abroad, according to a statement released by the office of the Turkish Presidency.
"I cannot share any details but anything can happen, anytime, anywhere. Mr. President has given very clear instructions on this issue. Our relevant units are working very professionally. Operations similar to the one conducted in Kosovo can be carried out in other countries," Kalin said.
The operation in Kosovo that Kalin referred to involved the abduction of six Turkish nationals accused of having ties to Islamist cleric Fethullah Gulen, whose supporters are considered a terrorist organization in Turkey.
The six men were apprehended by Turkish intelligence officers in mid-March and taken to Turkey, where their fate remains unknown. Their families were not informed of their arrest.
Turkey has successfully captured its citizens from at least 16 countries, and uses INTERPOL's red notice alert system— intended for states to notify other states of serious criminals for extradition— to attack dissidents and journalists. Historically, it has conducted these operations in Europe– but Kalin's statement, made days before Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan traveled to New York for the United Nations, suggests that the United States is now a target as well.
"Our relevant units and institutions will continue their operations...whether it be the U.S. or some other country," Kalin said.
In 2017, the Daily Caller, a right-wing American news outlet, reported that several Turkish-American journalists had been surveilled and that their images and photos had been published in Turkish media. Months after that, Erdogan conferred with his bodyguards just moments before they attacked a peaceful demonstration in front of the Turkish Ambassador's residence in Washington, DC, injuring several people. The victims of that attack were targeted by Turkish media— as were peaceful demonstrators who protested Erdogan's speech to the Turkish-American National Steering Committee later that year, whom Erdogan referred to as "terrorists."

Officials: Strong wind may be to blame for partial building collapse
Dec 07, 2021, 3:55amUpdated on Dec 07, 2021
Strong gusts of wind may be to blame for a partial building collapse in Jersey City.
The building is located on Fisk Street. A spokesperson for the city says that the building appeared to be an unoccupied building under construction. The building was pushed off its foundation, possibly by strong wind.
Jersey City reported wind gusts of up to 58 mph Monday evening.
The Jersey City Fire Department has evacuated neighboring buildings as a precaution. Four people have been displaced and are being put up in a local hotel.
The spokesperson also said that a nearby school – the Learning Tree – suffered significant damage.
Fisk Street will be closed near West Side Avenue so that the city's engineers can access the buildings to inspect for further damage.
No injuries were reported in the collapse.

The 2018 Acrylic MTS "Mortis" is not for the faint of heart. This call is the one you've been waiting for. The MTS features a short barrel which allows for rapid fire notes and an insert that boasts super smooth back pressure making it one of the fastest and smoothest goose calls you'll ever blow. Geared with our "LIVE-X" gut system (the deepest worn-in gut system to date) with trade marked esophageal ridges, this call was meant for deep, loud, sounds in the field and on the stage.

Ortega The Wild Bunch Island Jim WaHoo (Preproduction)
As you're likely aware, Eddie Ortega announced an ambitious project in the summer of 2012 dubbed the Wild Bunch that would see him release a new cigar every month in 2013 that would be a tribute to a person that he had met through his cigar-related journeys.
Ortega had this to say about the inspiration and direction for the Wild Bunch:
During my time in the cigar industry, I've come to know lots of great interesting characters in the industry. I've found certain characters so interesting, that I decided to create a series called "The Wild Bunch." This series will consist of 12 characters, each of them with a unique flavor and size profile, no two will be alike.
The series debuted as promised in January 2013 with the Big Bad John Jackhammer and was followed by the Iron Mike I-Beam in February. The third release in the series is slated to be released in March and is dubbed the Island Jim WaHoo.
Here are the first three releases:
Big Bad John "Jackhammer" (6 7/8 x 60) — January 2013
Iron Mike "I-Beam" (4 7/8 x 54) — February 2013
Island Jim "WaHoo" (6 1/2 x 52) — March 2013
While most of the real-world identities of the Wild Bunch characters was kept fairly quiet, Island Jim was fairly quickly identified as Jim Robinson of Leaf & Bean in Pittsburgh, and if you scroll through Robinson's or Ortega's Facebook pages, you'll see several photos that leave no doubt. This photo, posted on Eddie Ortega's Facebook page, pretty much sums it up:
Like the first two members of the Wild Bunch, Island Jim will come in 20–count boxes that look like this:
Island Jim was also made available as part of a sampler that came out in January and featured one of each of the first three members of the Wild Bunch.
Cigar Reviewed: Ortega The Wild Bunch Island Jim WaHoo
Factory: My Father Cigars, S.A.
Wrapper: Ecuadoran Habano
Filler: Nicaragua
Size: 6 1/2 Inches
Vitola: Toro Extra
MSRP: $10.50 (Boxes of 20, $210)
Number of Cigars Released: 500 Boxes of 20 (10,000 Total Cigars)
Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 2
The Ortega Wild Bunch Island Jim is a very attractive specimen with a smooth, slightly oily wrapper and a maze of small, fairly flat veins. While the cigar has a bit of give, it's still overall firm and feels well-packed. The pre-light aroma is surprisingly light and floral but is backed by a solid amount of pepper. The cold draw is much meatier and full, with a hearty gravy note as the first thing that jumps out and is backed by a bit of cereal grain and just the faintest hit of orange. Air moves well through it if just the slightest bit governed, which is expected given the cigar's firmness.
The initial puffs of the first third of the Ortega Wild Bunch Island Jim are medium bodied and packed with notes of dough, chalk, a bit of paper and a slightly mineral note that gives it a bit of a kick, though it falls short of being peppery or spicy. A decent amount of white smoke comes off the cigar as the burn line reveals a tight white ash that manages to hold for about an inch before finally dropping, at which time the first third of the Island Jim dials the intensity down a click and settles into a very palatable medium-bodied cigar led by an enjoyable chalk note. The smoke itself is fairly light and airy, though the flavors have a definite edge thanks to the chalk and a developing cereal grain note.
The transition to the second third of the Ortega Wild Bunch Island Jim begins with a rubbing of my eyes as there's a slight uptick in white pepper that causes a bit or irritation. The smoke production picks up a bit in this section as well, both when puffed on and when at rest, and the chalk note seems to become a bit more intense and is now driving the flavor of the cigar. The technical performance has been solid so far with a sharp burn line and good smoke production, and while the ash remains tight, it doesn't hold for quite as long as it did on the Iron Mike. A note of a slightly over baked pretzel steps out and adds a bit of a charred note to the equation and takes Island Jim into the final third which, at this point, seems to hold promise of finishing a bit stronger than it began.
Heading into the final third, a trend noticed in the first two Wild Bunch cigars continues as the flavors really open up and it becomes clear that the Island Jim is going to finish with a much more complex profile than it has shown up to this point. The chalk note has added more raw notes of soil and clay that really hits the front of the tongue with vigor. A fairly dry wood note is the late-comer to the flavor party, showing up in the last two inches to add another layer of complexity to the flavor offerings that seem to be growing as fast as the cigar is approaching its eventual demise. The heat of the final inch and a half turns things sour and rather than try and smoke Island Jim down to the cap, it becomes apparent that the best course of action is to let it go out.
Final Notes:
If you go back to the announcement for the Dirty Dozen/Wild Bunch that we posted in July 2012, you'll see that March's release was originally slated to be named Wild Bill "Widow Maker." That name was shifted to the August release on an early version of the Wild Bunch poster, but as always, things are subject to change.
While smoking the first cigar I seemed to notice that I tend to smoke milder cigars a bit faster than more full-bodied ones. Maybe this isn't a revelation to you, but it was a bit to me as I'm a notoriously slow smoker.
Having smoked the first three cigars in the Wild Bunch series, the Island Jim 'WaHoo' vitola ranks as my favorite, simply from a size/shape perspective.
The bands for these samples were printed on a laser printer, and the regular production bands will be of better quality.
As you might recall, the Wild Bunch was originally slated to be called the Dirty Dozen, but was changed after a discussion between Ortega and Jonathan Drew, whose Drew Estate had been using the word dirty for some time.
The band for Island Jim used a very different font from what was used for Big Bad John and Iron Mike. It was also the only one to use both upper and lower case letters as the previous two were in all caps.
When he sent these out, Eddie Ortega said that the final version of Iron Mike as well as Big Bad John and Island Jim was still subject to some blend tweaks. He sent out a number of samples in mid-October to get feedback on, which may in turn alter the cigar that ends up on store shelves.
Ortega was debating how much he's going to disclose about the binder and the filler for this and all the Wild Bunch cigars, mainly due to their limited nature. While it hasn't generally been available, it's listed in the store on the Ortega Cigars website.
As mentioned earlier, you could pick up a sampler pack of the first three cigars in The Wild Bunch at select retailers for an MSRP of $31.25.
Production for the first three members of the Wild Bunch is being capped at 10,000 total cigars – 500 boxes of 20. Ortega said that may increase down the road, but it won't likely ever go over 1,000 boxes for any one release.
On Friday, January 18, Ortega posted to his Facebook page that "Heads up to everyone who got in on the WB series! I've started getting calls to see about getting a few more boxes, WE HAVE NONE LEFT! And have no plans for more, that's the way it's supposed to be…don't want anyone stuck with a bunch of limited product they cant sell. -thanks to all who are participating….."
Ortega has released a poster of The Wild Bunch, with the first three characters pre-printed and then stickers made for subsequent releases. There is also rumor of Wild Bunch caps and t-shirts.
You can purchase artwork by Neal Wollenberg that features the first three characters in the Wild Bunch series. You can also find more of Wollenberg's work at that same site.
In December 2013, when all the cigars have been released, Ortega says he will issue a final release of the completed set, either a 12–cigar set with one of each character, or a 24–cigar set with two of each.
The complete list of retailers carrying the Ortega Wild Bunch can be found here, and includes site sponsors Cigar King (800–669–7167) and Atlantic Cigar (800–887–7877). Be sure to tell them halfwheel sent you.
The cigars for this review were provided by Eddie Ortega.
Final smoking time is about one hour and 45 minutes.
88 Overall Score
I wasn't sure what to think about the Wild Bunch project when I first heard about it, but having smoked the first three, Eddie Ortega has made me a believer. Whereas Big Bad John and Iron Mike tended to be somewhat similar, Island Jim shows a different direction for Ortega's Wild Bunch as it stands much more in the medium-bodied portion of the spectrum and does it fairly well. It's the most approachable of the three in my opinion thanks to a bit lighter smoke and flavor, which never really steps past medium bodied until the absolute end, and makes for a versatile set of flavors that could be enjoyed any time of the day. If you have the chance to try Island Jim or any of the first three members of the Wild Bunch, do so.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it's about so much more than the cigar – it's about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I'm the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League.

OSAN AIR BASE, South Korea -- The Army has released the final images taken by combat photographer Spc. Hilda Clayton moments before she died during a live-fire training accident in Afghanistan nearly four years ago.
The photos, which have been published in the May-June edition of the Army's Military Review journal, show the moment a mortar tube exploded, killing Clayton and four Afghan soldiers on July 2, 2013, in the eastern Afghan area of Qaraghahi.
Clayton, a visual information specialist attached to the 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division based at Forward Operating Base Gamberi, was part of a training mission certifying Afghan forces on mortar operations.
The 22-year-old from Augusta, Ga., was tasked with documenting the event as well as training an Afghan Army photojournalist who also died in the accident. His photos of the blast were also released.
"Not only did Clayton help document activities aimed at shaping and strengthening the partnership but she also shared in the risk by participating in the effort," the journal said in an article accompanying the photos.
Clayton was a member of the Army's storied combat camera unit, the Fort Meade, Md.-based 55th Signal Company, which has deployed soldiers to front lines across the globe.
She was the first Army combat documentation and production specialist to be killed in Afghanistan.
The unit has named its annual competition the SPC Hilda I. Clayton Best Combat Camera (COMCAM) Competition in her memory.
Her name is also etched into the Hall of Heroes at the Defense Information School in Fort Meade, where she graduated in 2012.
Clayton's family and unit approved of the release of the photos, an official from the Army University Press said.


Do you see the Western osprey on this 50¢ Waterton Lakes stamp of 2005 (Scott 2105)?
Is the Canada goose that is printed on this unfolded 1975 20¢ aerogram any less worthy of inclusion in a Canadian topical bird collection than a stamp?
Does a stamp picturing a bird belong in a collection of birds on Canada's stamps when the bird symbolizes a foreign country, as the bald eagle does on this 1957 5¢ St. Lawrence Seaway stamp (Scott 387)? Do you need its rare error variety for your collection to be complete (387a)? Image courtesy of Canadian National Archives.
Engraved by the Canadian Bank Note Co., this 1999 95¢ Millennium Dove (Scott 1814) was issued both as the stamp shown and in a one-stamp souvenir sheet. Which would you prefer in a Canadian birds collection, or would you rather collect both?
Placed side by side, these 5¢ Gray Jays (Scott 478) and 1969 6¢ White-throated Sparrows (496) look like they are engaged in a spirited debate. The stamps were issued on different days in 1968.
Ornithomimus edmontonicus, who last lived 66 million years ago, returned on this 2015 permanent-rate Dinos of Canada stamp of 2015. It had long feathers, as shown, and may have lived much like an ostrich. Does it belong in a bird collection?
The stamp in the upper left shows two lines symbolizing birds. Would you include this stamp in a collection of birds on Canada's stamps? Is there another stamp in this Decorated Rural Mailboxes block of four (Scott 1849-1852) that would be a better choice?
It's not snow you see on this 1993 43¢ stamp saluting Newfoundland's Cape St. Mary's Seabird Ecological Reserve (Scott 1475). It's some of the 66,000 seabirds that nest there.
These birds don't fly for the author of this column: a white blob on the 1986 34¢ International Peace Year stamp (Scott 1110); the strange-looking creature on a 1955 5¢ commemorative for the International Civil Aviation Organization (354); and the black eagle, a bird found only in Asia, on a 1983 32¢ stamp for the centennial of the Dalhousie Law School (Scott 1003).
These stamps that don't show living birds belong in a bird collection: 1982 1¢ and 10¢ Early Canadian Artifact definitives picturing a hand-carved wooden duck decoy (Scott 917) and a metal weathercock (921), and the 1990 78¢ Christmas stamp showing Children of the Raven by Bill Reid.
Two stamps depicting loons, a 5¢ in black from 1957 for National Wildlife Week (Scott 369) and an engraved, multicolored, microprinted $1 Loon from 40 years later (1691), demonstrate that bird stamps come in all degrees of sophistication.
Which is the earliest bird stamp of Canada: the 7¢ Canada Geese Near Sudbury airmail stamp of 1946 (Scott C9) or the 12¢ Willow Ptarmigan stamp (Newfoundland 69) issued 52 years before Newfoundland joined Canada?
A much more affordable error is this 45¢ Belted Kingfisher stamp from a 1995 Migratory Wildlife issue. After it was issued on Aug. 15, collectors noted the error in the French text on the stamp (Scott 1564), "aune migratrice." Six weeks later the error was corrected to "faune migratrice" (migratory fauna) on a follow-up stamp (1567). Today, Scott values the two stamps at a total of $1.65.
Ever since I was a kid, I have loved the stamp hobby and wild birds. I learned bird-watching along the Humber River not far from where I grew up in the west end of Toronto. That explains my fascination with birds on Canada's stamps, including the new Official Birds of Canada to be issued July 12.
Now if you're just here to find a nice web page with some Canadian bird stamps on it, this will do nicely.
And if you're looking for a really substantial treatment, there are the 126 varieties and formats listed and illustrated on the Canada page of an immense, up-to-date worldwide bird stamp website. Click on the small images and they enlarge automatically so you can really appreciate the stamp designs.
Both of these sites feature bird stamps worth seeing.
In collecting birds and other topics on stamps, a good checklist, like the many compiled and made available by the American Topical Association, is indeed a very valuable tool.
However, if you want to make a bird stamp collection distinctly yours, even for a single country such as Canada, there is a good deal more involved. You need to ask yourself questions, and to develop judgment. And you'll find you need to make more calls on your own than you may have imagined.
How fundamental are these questions? Well, here are three: What is Canada? What are stamps? What are birds?
"What is Canada?" is a question you'll encounter with the first stamp you choose to put in your collection, which probably will be one of the two shown nearby.
The 7¢ airmail stamp is the first issued by Canada to depict a bird. Issued in 1946, it shows Canada geese near the northern Ontario nickel-mining center of Sudbury (Scott C9).
It is not, however, the first stamp depicting birds to have been issued in what is now Canada, an honor that goes to the stamp shown with it, issued almost 50 years earlier. It is a 12¢ dark blue stamp from Newfoundland picturing the willow ptarmigan (Scott 69), issued in 1897 as part of a 14-stamp set commemorating the 400th anniversary of John Cabot's arrival there in 1497.
Fifty-two years after this stamp was issued, Newfoundland became part of Canada, the 10th and final province.
So, which of these two stamp do you choose as the earliest to start your collection? There is no right answer. There is only the answer that you choose.
Now, what if the bird is on a stamp issued by Canada, but was deliberately selected as the symbol of another nation? Does that belong in a topical collection of birds on Canada's stamps? If that sounds far-fetched and hypothetical, look at the second pair of stamps.
Completed in 1959, the Canadian-American St. Lawrence Seaway is a ribbon of riches from Duluth, Minn., and Thunder Bay, Ont., to the Atlantic Ocean.
Creating a stamp to cover the vast scale of the project and salute the two nations that partnered in completing it was no small accomplishment. The joint issue released in 1959 (Canada Scott 387 and United States Scott 1131) did a fine job on both counts.
The bird on the stamp is not your average avian, but the unambiguous national symbol of the United States — the bald eagle, and a rather cross-looking one at that, at least on the 5¢ stamp of Canada.
Not that all of Canada's error stamps featuring birds are pricey, as in two look-alike 45¢ stamps featuring a belted kingfisher, one of four stamps in a Migratory Wildlife issue.
When the stamp on the left (Scott 1564) was issued Aug. 15, 1995, sharp-eyed scholars saw that the French text near the bottom of the stamp, "aune migratrice," was missing an "f." Shown next to it is the corrected replacement stamp reading "faune migratrice" (Scott 1567), issued six weeks later. Today, these two stamps together catalog under $1.75.
You would think "What are stamps?" would be a much more straightforward question. But what about the 20¢ aerogram that was printed for and issued by Canada Post in 1975 that features a large Canada goose in flight on the reverse? Does this not belong in a topical bird collection, too?
What about a booklet cover, such as the one for the Audubon booklet for panes of six 65¢ Gyrfalcon stamps issued in 2003 (Scott 1983a)? And what of one of my favorite Canadian bird stamps, the striking engraved 1999 95¢ Millennium Dove (Scott 1814), hoping to usher in a century of peace with an olive branch? This one was photographically cropped from the much larger "souvenir sheet … with decorative border" that Scott mentions (but does not list), because I prefer the stamp shorn of all that distracting and unnecessary froufrou.
Do you agree? Would you prefer it, or perhaps include both, in your topical collection?
Would you treat all souvenir sheets the same? I would not.
Five penguins of two species, none of them on a stamp, stare at the 54¢ Arctic tern on Canada's 2009 Preservation of Polar Regions and Glaciers souvenir sheet (Scott 2327b). I'd want them in my collection.
Canada has many excellent bird stamps, including what appear to be bickering pairs of gray jays and white-throated sparrows on 1968-69 stamps (Scott 478, 496).
Bird stamps needn't be of great value, or technically elaborate either, to enhance a fine collection.
The black-on-white 1957 National Wildlife Week 5¢ Loon stamp (Scott 369) is a handsome design in its own right, as is the engraved, multicolored 1997 $1 Loon beside it (Scott 1691). I want both in my album.
But it turns out that "What are birds?" may be the trickiest problem of all.
Consider the block of four 46¢ Decorated Rural Mailboxes stamps (Scott 1849-1852). The top-left stamp includes the graphic shorthand for birds we learned in elementary school, essentially a pair of brackets or commas that meet at their ends. I doubt anyone would look at this stamp and say "I've got to have it for my bird collection." The bird doesn't have a shape, form, name or even a color; it's just two lines used to fill an empty space. How many hundreds of other stamps are there like it?
The white blob on the 1986 34¢ International Peace Year stamp (Scott 1110) looks more like a ghost than a bird.
The weirdly stylized creature pictured on the 5¢ stamp for the 10th anniversary of the International Civil Aviation Organization in 1955 (Scott 354) looks like a banana covered with aluminum siding.
And the black eagle seal pictured on the 1983 32¢ stamp for the centennial of Halifax's Dalhousie Law School (Scott 1003) is an adaptation of a Scottish coat of arms picturing a bird that lives exclusively in Asia.
On the other hand, nearby are three stamps that don't show birds at all that I want in my collection. Two are 1982 1¢ and 10¢ Early Canadian Artifact definitives picturing a hand-carved wooden duck decoy (Scott 917) and a metal weathercock (Scott 921), and the other is an unusual 1990 78¢ international-rate Christmas stamp reproducing Children of the Raven by highly regarded graphic artist Bill Reid, whose mother was Haida.
These stamps show how the bird has been integrated into both the indigenous and immigrant folk art of Canada.
There is no bird you can see in the next stamp here, but it's one I wouldn't be without. The 43¢ stamp (Scott 1475), from a Canada Day 1993 sheet of 12 honoring Canadian parks, depicts Cape St. Mary's Seabird Ecological Reserve at the southwesternmost point on Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula, and appears to have a thin covering of snow. It's not snow, but seabirds — 66,000 of which, from six different species, breed each year in this remote enclave.
I enlarged the design and, before my eyes failed me, counted more than 330 discrete white dots in the foreground. That's a lot of birds for any one stamp.
What would you do with the nearby 50¢ Waterton Lakes stamp of 2005 (Scott 2105), which appears to have no bird on the stamp? Now look above the mountain, and into the eye of a gigantic Western osprey concealed in the clouds.
What would you do with the die-cut 46¢ commemorative issued in 2001 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team (Scott 1901)?
Finally, whatever do we do with Ornithomimus edmontonicus, who last lived 66 million years ago, portrayed on one of the die-cut permanent-rate Dinos of Canada stamps of 2015?
The generic name means "bird mimic," and while the colors of the plumage are strictly from the artist's creative mind, the feathers themselves are not.
As Canada Post wrote, "It used its speed to outrun predators and to hunt for prey, which included small lizards and mammals." It may be easier to catch them, too, if you can glide. Or it may have lived and dined like the modern creature it most seems to resemble, the ostrich.
Making choices can be tough. The payoff, however, is that when you complete your collection, it will be distinctively your own, with the decisions you've made proudly showcased on its pages. It is, quite literally, all up to you, and that's what makes topical collecting great.
The stamp I'd keep from the Decorated Rural Mailboxes block of four is the one at bottom right (Scott 1852), which uses the stylized head and neck of a Canada goose to decorate the box top.


The Rico family is known for producing great tasting cigars that punch above their weight.
The family has farms many parts of South and Central America allowing them to produce interesting boutique style blends.
The Gran Habano Black Dahlia STK features a Corojo shade-grown wrapper from Nicaragua and a double binder of Habano and Nicaraguan leaves.
The filler consists of Nicaraguan Cubita, Habano, Costa Rican, and Colombia tobaccos.
Black Dahlia flowers are often associated with various meanings that may range from messages of enduring grace to signals of warning.
They symbolize elegance, inner strength, creativity, change, and dignity.
They are also known to represent one who stands strong in his or her sacred values.
The Corojo shade-grown wrapper is walnut shell in color with heavy tooth and vein with visible seam.
At 5 x 52 it's rolled standard Robusto format with a wide open circular foot and a triple rounded cap.
One band sits on the vitola, colored in white, black, gold and pink.
Along the sides reads "BLACK DAHLIA" in gold font on a white background.
On the top of the motif reads the initials "STK" representing George Rico's Stay True Kid.
The artwork reminds me of a head dress worn at a Carnival in Rio de Janeiro parade.
Pre-light aroma had notes of woody cedar, nuts and floral.
The cold draw produced flavors of light chocolate, roasted malt and leather.
An aroma of rich cedar off the toasted foot, immediately followed by flavors of bitter leather and cedar char.
When the blend settles in the Black Dahlia is producing light flavors of creamy leather, roasted nuts and floral.
The background flavor is predominantly nutty with almonds and marzipan adding a sweetness to the blend.
The spicy element is void of any identifiable pepper however, the vitola is producing a distinct leather bite at the level of MED.
The retro-hale is producing mild white pepper through the nose with a finish of light milk chocolate.
In the second half creamy leather, roasted nuts and floral with an appearance of coffee are up front and on point.
Roasted almonds and marzipan are producing an oily sweetness in the background profile.
The leather bite that appeared at first light has diminished but the distinct flavors of the cigar are keeping the Black Dahlia consistent at MED bodied.
The retro-hale hasn't budged on strength with light white pepper evolving into flavors of light chocolate and coffee grounds.
Heading into the final third core flavors of creamy leather, roasted nuts, floral and light coffee are up front and on point which has been consistent since first light.
The background profile is blending in with the aforementioned core flavors, almonds and marzipan continue with an oily sweetness.
A mild leather bite has re-appeared in the final duration without any disruption of the MED bodied flavors.
A slight increase in white pepper on the retro-hale with a consistent finish of light chocolate and coffee.
• CONSTRUCTION: The wrapper was loaded with tooth and vein with zero construction issues noted on the vitola with no cracks, blemishes or palpable soft spots.
• BURN: A consistent smolder of all three components of wrapper, binder and filler produced a sharp burn throughout. A thick circular carbon line was visible on the light shade Corojo wrapper.
• ASH: At first light the vitola produced a few fissures or runners that self corrected by cruise control. The light grey ash was thick holding two inches-plus tapping off with little effort.
• CUT: A large v-cut was used in all three examples smoked for review.
• DRAW: Slightly more resistance than milkshake was noted on all examples with more than adequate smoke output.
What the Black Dahlia lacked in strength it more than made up for in flavor.
Core flavors of creamy leather, roasted nuts, coffee and floral appeared at first light and remained consistent and identifiable throughout the entire smoking duration.
The only identifiable spice was in the form of a mild leather bite, however the consistent flavors of the Black Dahlia kept the cigar at straight MED bodied.

Some Landowners in Tioga, PA Area Receive Six-Figure Royalty Checks – Each Month
January 30, 2011 Energy Companies, Lease & Royalty Payments, Pennsylvania, Shell, Tioga County (PA)
An article discussing the potential impacts of shale gas drilling in the area around Erie, PA does a good job in exploring the benefits of shale gas drilling that have already occurred in Tioga County, PA. Tioga County is one of the most densely populated drilling regions in the entire Marcellus Shale play. A few facts from the article:
Almost all corners of Tioga County have been leased, with most of the land, approximately 290,000 acres, now controlled by Royal Dutch Shell.
In 2010 alone, 564 drilling permits were issued and the drilling of the 261 wells started in Tioga County, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection.
By the time the drilling is over, there could be a 3-acre well pad every square mile, each hosting six wells, said Earle Robbins, a former Penn State Cooperative Extension agent who is a consultant to landowners in Tioga and other counties.*
Landowners Jackie and Clifford Root receive monthly royalties from the production of two wells on their land. Their smaller producing well generates around 400,000 cubic feet of gas per day, bringing them $2,000-$3,000 per month. The other well? Around 4 million cubic feet of gas per day, giving them around $11,000 per month in royalties. And Jackie Root says, "I know people collecting six figures per month" in royalties. That's over $100K per month!
What's the potential in the Marcellus? Possibly 18 times bigger than the already huge Barnett Shale play in Texas:
The geologists whose predictions helped fuel the boom are Terry Engelder, of Pennsylvania State University, and Gary Lash, of the State University of New York at Fredonia. They calculated in 2008 that the formation contains 500 trillion cubic feet of natural gas — more than 18 times the content of Texas' Barnett shale, the formation currently leading the nation in natural gas production. The geologists have since doubled their estimate of Marcellus shale gas, to 1,000 trillion cubic feet.
As the news about Marcellus sank in, bids for leases in Tioga County went up, to $1,500, $2,500, $5,000 per acre. Jackie Root knows of one lease signed for $6,500 an acre and royalties of 20 percent.*
Jackie Root's advice to landowners who have not yet leased their land?
Don't take the first offer.
Get a lawyer to review the deal.
Band together with your neighbors in a coalition.
The article also tries to strike "balance" by presenting the viewpoint of one Tioga, PA resident opposed to drilling, along with a reference to the recent drilling accident in Tioga State Forest where fracking fluids were spilled on top of the ground (which happened on Jan. 17). All in all, a well researched and well written article, worth your time.

Any company holding your crypto-assets will tell you that theft is their biggest concern. Lose your customer's money and you lose your customers — not to mention your company's reputation. At Cent, we're keenly aware of counter-party risks and have sought to minimize them as much as possible.
To date all funds have entered Cent through our Escrow contract. Users send money to the contract, our internal system detects the funds have been received, and the transaction (a bounty, tip, etc) is reflected in the UI. Only members of the Cent team can transfer funds out of this contract. When these these amounts are ready to be settled, we initiate a transaction dispersing the funds to our users' externally-managed Ethereum addresses.
This system has worked reasonably well thus far, with a few caveats. From a user's perspective, one of the more terrible feelings is having a transaction take forever to process. That sinking feeling of "where did my money go?" and the need to reach out to support has been an anxiety-inducing event shared by multiple Centians. Often times the culprit isn't even a congested network — it's that the default gas prices are too low.
This unpredictability also limits the types of experiences our users can have. Need to make a time-sensitive bounty? Be extra careful with the gas price or your transaction could be stuck for days. As we reflected on the mechanisms and experience we wanted to create, one thing became clear: users needed readily-available balances they could instantly spend from.
Which brings us back to the risk of theft. How do we safely maintain user funds deposited into Cent? The trivial solution is to allow deposits via the same Escrow contract. For bountying, this worked OK — at any given moment there was never more than a couple ETH flowing through the system. But with deposits, all it takes is one large creditor to explode our risk profile. We concluded that our Escrow contract was not suitable for deposits.
The only on-chain action a user performs is depositing. For everything else, the user simply passes us signed, single-use authorization messages. The Cent admins submit these messages on-chain, performing actions on behalf of the user such as debiting their wallet. By outsourcing on-chain settlement to us, users no longer need to worry about confirmation times and other nuisances — we've got you covered.
As the Ethereum ecosystem has matured, it also has become apparent that users needed a way to unify their balances across multiple devices. In most cases, users maintain different addresses in each wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, etc). To reconcile this, users can link multiple addresses within their Cent Wallet. This enables them to sign and spend from a shared balance across any device so long as that address is linked to their Cent Wallet.
Many of the concepts introduced in the Cent Wallet are inspired by state channels. Our wallet is a simplified instantiation of the concept — Cent operates a custodial hub that routes payments between users. Because of this, users can start earning ETH on the platform without even having a Web3 wallet. Only once they've decided to do something with their newly-earned ETH do they need to set one up. We believe this progression makes the most sense for new people entering the cryptosphere — those who haven't yet had exposure to wallets or the Web3 stack.
Cent Wallet is yet another instance of our hybrid centralized and decentralized architecture. We recognize that Cent is not a permissionless system and that there is a degree of trust involved in using the platform. As we grow, our goal is to minimize the trust needed wherever it makes sense. For Cent Wallet, our primary concern was preventing theft. In designing this system, we made conscious tradeoffs between centralized and permissionless architectures. We hope you find the experience pleasant and encourage you to give us feedback on how we can improve.

Did the setting (Settings/TV/Menu_OSD (wiki)) 'Close channel osd after switch channels' go away in leia?
I cannot find this setting and on one of my kodi v.18 beta, windows 10 settings, when I am in the live tv (epg) guide and I click on a channel to watch the guide does not close, and will only close by hitting 'esc', on my other kodi setups it goes away automatically.

Yes, this has been removed because it never ever (!) had some functionality. There was simply no code "behind". Strange, but a matter of fact.
And actually this setting is not needed. If you set "show channel information when switching channels" to something else than "off" the O SD will disappear automatically after the time indicated by the settings value.
I believe the option closechannelosdonswitch option which was available in krypton and earlier versions IS NOT DUMMY and a must. The reason is, if we use the osd menu , when zapping the channel list, if we go on any channel, then the OSD closes and this is ridiculous. As for me, if the OSD needs to be closed, the user must have the option to do so with a backspace Key or other key combination. Otherwise on every zap on OSD we have to open the OSD channel list, which is useless.
Am I the only one living the problem? I really cant believe this option has been removed.Attached are OSD before and after switching channels.
I have no idea what you are talking about, sorry. The before/after pictures tell me nothing.
And I say it again: if you have seen any change in behavior after changing the setting value in Krypton or earlier, this was only in your imagination.
As I said, I studied the program code behind this setting to understand what it actually did... and found that there was no (!) program code associated to the setting! It was a placebo. So, I removed it.
I still believe and see it is not placebo.
In the picture "before" there is an OSD layer which is used to browse channels on the OSD which pops up by the key shortcut "C". And after switching to any channel, this OSD layer which is popped up by key shortcut "C" closes. Everytime I want to browse any channel I need to press "C" again and again OSD closes after any channel switch.
Please acknowledge that I am not talking about the classic channel OSD, what I am talking about is different which is triggerred by key shortcut "C".
I hope I am clear enough and I am sure it works, so please check it once more.
One more issue is, in kodi 17.6, there was no black screen while switching channels, which earlier channel last image stayed on screen for a while and comes the next channel image, but I guess this is totally change of tons of code which is something totally different.
I will appreciate if you just can put the setting back for me I guess there are some cpp source files which need to be edited and more. I really even tried to edit the guisettingsxml file to get that menu back of course didnt work. I desperately need that setting.
Again, even though there was a setting value to see in Krypton, there was no functionality behind. IT WAS A DUMMY.
EDIT: I think I now understand what you want, it's not "back" reactivating the channel OSD, right? I misunderstood this. You want the osd not to close after selecting a new channel, you want the new channel playing "behind" the osd, right?
Even though this might have worked with Krypton (have to check) the placebo setting definitely had no influence on this. I guess that the hard witef Krypton behavior was doing simply just what you want. Can you confirm that?
I have to revise what I wrote. You are right, the setting was no placebo in Krypton. It controlled actually the feature you're describing here.
The setting code got lost during a major refactoring during Leia alpha phase. Later on I also removed the setting gui as I thought it had never had any functionality.
I guess I will reintroduce the setting now that I understand the whole story.
I am very glad to see you figured it out my friend. I worth my efforts to convince you that the Kodi community in Leia will get that feature, which is crucial in my opinion.

Review: Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is out this Friday and with it rests the hopes and dreams of every DC fan who has hoped for a DC Cinematic Universe similar to Marvel. With Man of Steel laying down the foundations, many fans wait with bated breath to see if Batman's (Ben Affleck) introduction into Superman's (Henry Cavill) world will help fully realise the potential of the DC Cinematic Universe. It's been a troubled road to Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, from the turbulent reaction to the casting of "Batfleck", to the supposed introduction of the whole Justice League and a trailer which cast doubt on some of the film's storyline elements. Aside from all of this, can a strong film shine through?
Before any of you reading this start freaking out: This is a spoiler free review. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is one of, if not the best superhero film I have ever seen. Does that make it a perfect film? Not by a long shot. There are issues, one being that if you didn't enjoy the style and aesthetics of Man of Steel you'll have a tough time enjoying Dawn of Justice. Like that of Man of Steel the tone is that one of a real world situation where mythical beings are thrown in. This time though the mythic level is turned all the way up to eleven and this is where a lot of DC fans will scream out in joy.
An element we've all been wondering about is whether or not Ben Affleck wears the legendary cowl with style. Thankfully, he does. He gives us the dark knight detective we all deserve, possibly for the first time on the big screen. For the first half of Dawn of Justice we see the detective and then for the second half we see the warrior knight. He is an excellent foil to Superman, once again played to perfection by Henry Cavill. Sadly the dynamic between our two favourite heroes is another issue the film has. Most of the back and forth between Bruce and Clark have already been seen in the TV spots and trailers. They are expanded on but not enough for someone who is looking for that legendary spark between them.
As well as the casting of Affleck, fans also worried that Jesse Eisenberg's Alexander "Lex" Luthor was going to be laughable and camp. Some even went as far as saying he seems like a character out of a Joel Schumacher film but this is far from the case. Lex is a fascinating, true introvert genius wrapped in his own twisted sense of order. There are moments which will make you cringe but they're few and far between.
The technical elements of Dawn of Justice are the real highlights of the film, especially the cinematography. Say what you will about Zack Snyder scripts but his skill at shaping a scene, especially a fight scene, is exceptional. The score provided by Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL, is brilliant, especially Wonder Woman's theme. This energetic battle anthem, perfectly encapsulating Gal Gadot's introduction into the fledgling DCCU. On that note, Wonder Woman, what a character?! Her presence in Dawn of Justice is brief but powerful, especially as the film comes to its final act. The performance from Gadot is decent and will only improve as she grows with the character.
The final problem with Dawn of Justice is its run time. At just over two and a half hours, it feels bloated and there were scenes that could have easily been left on the cutting room floor. This also begs the question: What is going to be on the R-Rated edition that will be coming out on Blu-Ray? Could this version be close to the three hour mark?
In the end, what should be taken away from this review? For better or for worse Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice feels like a DC comic event. There is so much at play that it could get confusing, but with repeated viewings I guarantee your appreciation will grow.
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is out Friday 25th with preview screenings on the 24th

The literary Arabic language vs Arabic dialect
Learn Arabic Culture
By al-dirassa
In Learn Arabic Culture
Languages are the most important factors in forming nations because they are vectors of thought and expression. They constitute a communication tool, a reference for the nation and its cultural heritage. They are made of consciousness and arise from the activity of thought and translate its meaning.
Let us look at one of the most important problems which arise in our contemporary time and which upset the cultural landscape of the Arab world and its noble language, namely the question of the plurality of Arabic dialects.
The question is whether the Arabic language will disappear to give way to a multitude of heterogeneous dialects. One against the other is a perpetual fight to know which will be the language closest to the Arabic language or if this beautiful language will be enriched and impregnated with all these dialects to give us a full new fragrance or flavours rooted in its majestic history.
The situation of the Arabic language
Dr Abdulaziz Maqalih (Yemeni poet, critic and university professor) emphasizes that the almost total absence of the literary Arabic language is a danger not only for the Arabic language but also for the unity of the "nation. Arabic "in their cultural and spiritual dimensions.
The risk is to make the Arabic language a language emptied of all its consistency without any foundation. Just as well, it can become the single language of multiple nations. Each provided with different dialects but without any link between each other.
This vision completely excludes the contribution of dialects to the Arabic language. If we look closely, we realize that the Arabic dialects intermingle with the Arabic language by an application, above all, by applying certain rules of literary Arabic grammar. Like all the languages of the world, it is not a unique set at all levels.
We will find a literary and scientific Arabic on the one hand and a more popular level. At one point or another, we will have to ask ourselves the question: "what balance should we have between the two?" "
This differentiation in Arab countries sometimes meets limits. This is what we see, for example, in countries that have undergone physical and linguistic occupation, such as certain Maghreb countries.
Literacy Arabic
The upgrading of literary Arabic in these countries began with a strong Arabization policy at the level of education and administration, to such an extent that a great gap opened up between the dialectal Arabic language. And the official language of the country. To verify this, you have to walk around the cities of the Maghreb to ask the question, "where are we?" Because the difference is immense between these institutional practices on the one hand and traditional ones on the other.
Of course, on official aspects, the literary Arabic language predominates and remains the common language that brings together all the Arab countries. We note, however, that Arabic dialects prevail in all unofficial and popular aspects.
The dominance of local dialects
Today, the linguistic reality in the Arab world reveals the dominance of local dialects. We find, on the one hand, a mixture of dialect, Berber and French for the Maghreb and on the other hand, the dialect and English in the Mashrek. For local dialects they dominate over most models of communication in Arab countries, both through the language used in class (sometimes on teaching aids), or on radio and television (the media ), in movies or songs (popular culture), or even in magazines and newspapers. Not to mention certain languages such as English or French, which are very influential in the stages of the university and pre-university education, on social networks and in certain stores.
Seen from this angle, we can believe that the Arabic language will disappear, leaving a mosaic of dialects taking precedence as the official language.
Historically the language has always been fueled by the various local dialects. Local dialects are the reservoir of the Arabic language. The latter has always been a learned and noble language, while the local dialects represent the popular language used by the population in their everyday lives. On this aspect, the literary Arabic language draws from this rich and very dynamic reservoir to strengthen itself and represent the evolution of society.
Also, the literary Arabic language represents a common base used naturally by a large region of 22 countries. This is a significant weight, especially since this region has a common history that binds them together. A present with insurmountable challenges without active cooperation between them. The future of this nation is in its union, and this literary Arabic language is the one that will cement these nations. Cultural, political and economic cooperation will only be strengthened thanks to this common language and especially used naturally by all its members.

Kino Igman se nachází ve městě Ilidža blízko Sarajeva. Budova z přelomu 19. a 20. století stojí na břehu řeky Željeznica a má adresu Hrasnička cesta 14. Vznikla podle návrhu českého architekta Karla Paříka jako lázeňská restaurace.

Historie

Realizace lázní v lokalitě Ilidža v blízkosti Sarajeva byla zahájena nedlouho po příchodu Rakousko-uherské správy na území Bosny. Stavební práce na různých objektech byly zahájeny v polovině 80. let 19. století poté, co celý projekt přešel pod zemskou vládu. Pařík objekt rozčlenil do dvou celků (prostoru pro hosty) spojených verandou a chodbou. Stejně jako celý lázeňský areál byla tehdejší restaurace inspirována tyrolskou horskou architekturou a neoklasicismem.

Později byl objekt několikrát rekonstruován a přestavován. Původní prvky z fasády objektu zmizely až na sdružená okna v přízemí. Od existence socialistické Jugoslávie slouží restaurace jako kino, které neslo název podle nedalekého pohoří Igman. Byl přistavěn filmový sál s kapacitou cca 200 diváků. V 50. a 60. letech 20. století se zde konaly sarajevské premiéry tehdy populárních filmů. Kino bylo opětovně zprovozněno po dlouhé době, kdy bylo mimo provoz, v roce 2017.
