Meet the Developer: Hampton Park
I got the opportunity to meet the Developer, Velocity Companies, on the redevelopment of Hampton Park, located in Capitol Heights, Maryland. Check out the conversation with Garfield Antonio, Chief Financial Officer, of Velocity Companies.
1. Greg: What's your experience being a Black Developer?
Garfield: Being a Real Estate Developer has at times come with a negative connotation. In some markets there is a strong belief that developers are not vested in the communities where they build. The perception is they're only in a location to profit and that they will not deliver on promises made to the people of the community.
At Velocity, we deliver on our promises. Our word is our bond to the community because we are truly committed and actually live and work in the places where we develop. At Velocity, we want to be judged by the finished development product; a kind of before and after effect! We want to change the negative perceptions about local African American developers and also educate our communities about the real estate development process and the significant economic impacts that result. The African American Community needs to support developers who come from and serve our communities. Equally, African American developers should must also hold themselves to the highest standard of excellence because our communities deserve nothing less.
2. Greg: What's your background? How did you get into development?
Garfield: I grew up in New York. I attended Delaware State University and graduated with a BS in Marketing, Class of 1990 ~ Go Hornets! I struggled my freshman and sophomore year making the transition to college. Going to a HBCU, the teachers and professors nurtured and cared about students! Mr. Caldwell, my marketing Professor and faculty advisor, came to my dorm room once when I missed his 9am class, to tell me "young man, I'm not going to allow you to flunk out of my class, or Del State." That was a game changer for me! And, it helped to reshape my thinking and my work ethic for the future.
After college I went on to work for Riggs Bank and Mercantile Bank which are now PNC Bank for 15 years. I was in the Corporate and Commercial Real Estate Group. My neighbors at the time, Brandon Bellamy and Carl Williams, worked for a Community Development Corporation, which specialized in affordable housing. Carl thought that I should join their organization as the Chief Financial Officer. And, after some soul searching, I took him up on the offer. I joined St Paul Community Development Corporation in 2005 and got bitten by the real estate development bug. In 2008, the Great Recession hit and there were limited financing options for apartment development. There were no projects happening and the organization was struggling during this time. Brandon had a Jerry McGuire moment and wrote a white paper on how he wanted to change the dynamics of private development companies with the ethos of the community development company. We could do well while doing good! Having a successful business model while helping others does not have to be a mutually exclusive endeavor. I proffered the pledge to operate with excellence. And our third partner, Marc Antonio, added a promise to undertake every project with love. If we love the work we do, and we love the community we're doing it for, then we can ensure quality results! But, if we dislike what we're doing or who we're doing it for, every time there's a major obstacle we could potentially back out or fail. That's how we started Velocity Companies.
Our first development client under the Velocity brand was with The Sanctuary at Kingdoms Square headed by Pastor Anthony Maclin. He gave us our first shot as a new enterprise and we presented him with our expertise and unwavering commitment. I am forever grateful for that partnership. We turned that opportunity into the redevelopment of the former Hampton Mall. We ultimately purchased the Mall from The Sanctuary at Kingdom Square in June of last year and renamed the property to Hampton Park which is a $250 million mixed use development which is now under construction.
3. Greg: Tell me about Hampton Park.
Garfield: Velocity has been working on the Hampton Park project since 2009. The site was not zoned for mixed-use, but it was zoned for a Commercial Shopping Center C-S-C. So, we had to change the zoning to M-X-T (Mixed-Use Transportation). This was a very in-depth process and took a lengthy period of time to complete the rezoning of the property. In addition, we had to file multiple Detailed Site Plans and Conceptual Site Plans to complete entitlements. Sometimes members in the community see a project, and they think it instantly happened. There's a lot of work behind the scenes and hundreds if not thousands of man hours to complete the civil engineering, architectural and legal work, etc. The actual construction work represents one of the final steps in a long journey.
The new Hampton Park will include a state-of-the-art office building that will house Prince George's County Health and Human Services. The retailers will include Market Fresh Gourmet (a full-service grocery store)and Ivy City Smokehouse to name a few. Many of the existing tenants such as Everlasting Life, Dunkin Donuts and IHOP will remain. Velocity was focused on retaining as many local businesses in the project as possible. Companies that have been at this location for a number of years should have the opportunity to be a part of this new epicenter of commerce. Other tenants will be announced in the future and the project is about two years out from completion.
4. Greg: Are Home Depot, Panda Express, and the BP and Exxon gas stations part of the redevelopment?
Garfield: No, those parcels of land are separately owned. The hotel is its own parcel and the owner of the hotel is a friendly operator who is looking forward to the dynamic new community currently being built. Home Depot has been one of our biggest advocates and has helped the project along on several fronts, and they are a great neighbor. Everything east of the hotel and Home Depot is part of our development.
5. Greg: Is Home Depot planning to renovate the store? How do they plan to deal with the litter and trash?
Garfield: We continue to work with Home Depot. As a Property Owner, we want to ensure a clean and litter free environment. We want to create a Hampton Park business owner's association with the goal of beautifying the neighborhood. This is a tall order, but the Velocity Companies is fully committed to Capitol Heights and the Hampton Park neighborhood. The business owner's association would function similar to downtown DC, like Georgetown and Gallery Place.
It's no secret that Maryland has a dumping issue. When Prince George's County was shut down due to the pandemic, we saw an increase in bulk dumping at several of our properties, as bulk trash services were limited. It's a constant battle. But, bulk dumping is a fixable problem. We can increase the fines and penalties for bulk dumping and those highly prone areas could have live cameras installed and that would help alleviate that problem.

Kim Kardashian: Kanye West Is 'Sweetest Person I've Ever Met in My Entire Life'
9:59 AM EST 12/12/2013 by Stephanie Guerilus, Celebeat Reporter
Kim Kardashian has boasted that fiancée Kanye West is the sweetest person she has ever met.
Kardashian was a guest at The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment Power 100 breakfast at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Wednesday. She told E! News how much West, who accompanied her to the event, meant to her.
"It's really the best," Kardashian said. "He really is the most romantic, sweetest person I've ever met in my entire life."
Kardashian said that their Christmas plans had not yet been finalized. However, she would not be surprised if West surprised her with elaborate accommodations.
"No, not that I know of," Kardashian said, "but he is the kind of random, spur-of-the-moment type of guy, so you never know."
West and Kardashian welcomed their daughter North in June and became engaged in October to much fanfare. West rented out San Francisco's AT&T Park and hired a 50-piece orchestra to serenade Kardashian. He also employed the jumbo screen and had the words "PLEEEASE MARRY MEEEE!!!" sprawled across. Kardashian accepted his proposal in front of her family, friends and cameras from E! News. The footage is expected to air next year during Season 9 of Keeping up with the Kardashians.

Will Technology Make Records Managers Obsolete?
Originally published on InContext, a Lexmark website.
Recently, a lot of discussion has taken place around whether the records management profession will become obsolete. In the age of enterprise content management (ECM) and records and information management (RIM) software, organizations may believe technology can replace the role of the records manager. After all, some of these systems can track and manage documents and data through their lifecycles, electronically store information for however long is prescribed and automatically destroy information that laws or regulations say must be eliminated.
Yet, with the stunning growth of information created and collected by organizations, the role of the records manager seems more crucial, not less so. The advent of social media and the questions it raises about the temporal nature of much of that information present new challenges to companies and organizations and increases the need for someone to figure out what to do with all of this new information.
A recent article in IDC iVIEW, "The Digital Universe Decade – Are You Ready?" reinforces this belief.
Records and information management is often seen by business managers as an IT responsibility. The message that records managers need to express is that they provide the rules or processes for the creation, organization, and protection of information. IT provides the systems that create and store the information, and one cannot serve the organization most efficiently without the other.
A RIM professional adds substantial value to an organization by bridging the gaps between business units with a trained eye on the organization's information assets and their potential use and misuse. They know what policies and procedures are needed to manage information from creation to disposition. They realize that lost records mean lost business or increased legal liability. With the growing demand of compliance and the need to provide accurate, reliable records, and legally defensible ones, records managers are needed now more than ever.
To thrive, records management professionals have to take a larger, not smaller, role. They need to leave the relative obscurity of the back areas in which they often work and demonstrate value to upper management. They need to not only be willing to help their organizations handle the demands of increasing amounts of new information but they must also speak up and identify for their organizations what the challenges are and how they should be addressed.
The requirements for the new RIM professional will not be the same as for the former, paper-based records manager. Records managers must take the initiative to sharpen their IT skills. It is imperative they understand the technology tools now used widely across the profession and how these tools create and store information.
There are three areas to address in order to keep the profession relevant. First, records managers must be flexible enough to change and adjust their skill set to perform advanced technology tasks in order to demonstrate competence. Second, they need to facilitate collaboration between business units to effectively manage organizational information. Third, they need to facilitate a culture of information management awareness. This can be done through competence, collaboration, and consensus.
In the article, "Taking the Lead in the Information Race," published in ARMA International's Information Management magazine, Jesse Wilkins, CRM, suggests records managers make changes by developing their "technology chops" and "have a constant thirst for learning. Demonstrating competence in all key business areas and how technology can be used to meet business goals is a requirement in order to exert an influence in an organization. Records managers need to understand business strategy and effectively communicate to management how their role directly affects the profitability of the company.
Collaboration among key business units provides a solid foundation for supporting business strategy for the purpose of information and risk management. RIM professionals must be able to articulate their value to all levels and express how and why RIM practices must be lead by a RIM professional. RIM professionals are no longer just storage providers, but provide management of information for the purpose of risk management. In order to demonstrate that value, they must position themselves to collaborate with other key business units.
In particular, RIM and IT must work together for the purpose of information management. This is important in addressing governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) issues. IT traditionally finds solutions to management's needs but records managers need to work with IT to make sure those solutions are the most efficient and effective in managing all information throughout its lifecycle.
An article written for IT professionals, "How to Thrive in Today's Job Market: Five Tips for IT Professionals", also has an excellent tip list for records professionals, encouraging them among other things, to build a better relationship with IT for the purpose of achieving organizational goals.
The RIM professional must help organizations reach a consensus regarding the important role of all business units in the management of information. This can be achieved by connecting business functions under one information management umbrella and correctly assigning ownership of information management duties. RIM leaders provide the unique function of creating business processes that manage information for the purpose of protecting the organization and its assets. It is important to have an organizational culture that considers information management a priority and sees the necessity of the RIM leader in carrying out that priority.
Will the records and information management profession become obsolete? If RIM professionals do not demonstrate competence in the evolution of the business environment for the purpose of managing information, it could fade away over time. However, if RIM professionals step out of their back rooms and demonstrate knowledge and value, and then build on their technology skills to help their organizations successfully navigate the accelerating changes in the creation and distribution of information, the future is theirs to own.

Ian Godleman is regarded as one of Europe's very best teaching professionals. With a Worldwide reputation for working at the very highest level on Tour he is still to this day just as passionate about bringing through youngsters and improvers as he is working with a Touring professional.
What sets Ian apart from others is a flexibility and an approach that is genuinely tailored to the specific needs of that golfer. There never is and never has been a "one size fits all template" as Ian states not everyone will fit a system!
It is his experience of teaching in different countries Worldwide and dealing with different cultures as well as conditions and Tournament preparation with every level of golfer that instantly strikes you as unique. He has been involved in helping and to help coach over 50 Tournament professionals and in this time has attended some of the very best events like the US Masters at Augusta (13 times), The Open, The World Cup of Golf, Dubai Masters and The Ryder Cup.
Finally with the use of Trackman 4, Smart2Move Force plates and the Worlds most advanced and accurate 3D Bio system, Ian is also able to take any element of guesswork or personal opinion out of teaching and give you the absolute facts, coupled with his vast knowledge of coaching the greatest players this is truly a unique combination.
As he says himself, "If you genuinely want to be a Tour Pro the work you put in as am amateur is crucial to your outcome and you only get one chance at it. I believe that if you are really serious about your golf then you are seriously disadvantaging yourself by not working with these systems and the factual data they deliver. Also having someone who really knows the data 'inside out' that these systems provide, is critical. You only have to look at Rory, Jason, Justin and Jordan to see what they are now doing.

Berhana Finds A Light Among The Smoke On 'Lucky Strike'
By D-Money
We're on the verge of getting Berhana's full-length debut (even if he's playing coy with the album's title and release date). He dropped the Pomo-produced lead single "Health Food" and left us hungry for what's to come. Now we have another inkling as to what the new project might sound like with his newest single "Lucky Strike."
Berhana once again teams up with Pomo for the track and the duo achieve a similar, laid-back '80s vibe as "Health Food." This time around, though, the mood is a bit different. Pomo somehow mixes in a pensive restlessness among the synths and programmed drums, knocking off a bit of the happy-go-lucky shine usually found in his productions. Perhaps he did this to better reflect Berhana's lyrical direction, as the track finds him dealing with the angst of waiting for the other shoe to drop. "Up past midnight / Wonder where this life could go," he sings on the opening verse. "Even my fortune teller / Says she'd rather me not know / Right now." His anticipation turns to confirmation later in the track when he learns his cousin might have cancer thanks to the very cigarettes he lights up on a regular basis. It's not all doom and gloom, though, as he finds love and light in an unexpected visit at the song's end. Like most of Berhana's work, this one has more than a few layers.
Berhana's debut is still scheduled to arrive sometime in the fall (and, once again, an exact date would be nice to have) on EQT Recordings. Get into the low-key groove of "Lucky Strike" below and stick around to check out a short vignette he released ahead of the track that might give some insight as to what a video for the song might look like.

Touted as one of the most controversial Nigerian entertainer, Harrysong never fails to seize every ample opportunity to bare his mind on sensitive matters bothering him.
The 'Reggae Blues' crooner, who recently recovered from emotional trauma, has expressed concern over the stealing of female pants for money ritual purposes.
According to Harrysong, the act which has become rampant ever since news of its existence went viral on social media has been a source of concern for him, which is why he decided to speak up on it.

Congratulations on your re-election as President of the United States!
The 3rd World War will be triggered! And you are invited to join us in our efforts to win this war of the century. It is not a war against nations, or man – but a war on fear, greed, ignorance and insecurity. It is a war on THOUGHTS – specific thoughts that have ravaged humanity since the dawn of time.
Many psychologists and sociologists believe that these now-identified thoughts are responsible for violence, stress, addiction – as well as corporate and personal dysfunction.
These thoughts have invaded your mind and mine, and billions of others. Certain thoughts have made people commit war crimes toward their fellow men – INVOLUNTARILY – since they have no control over them. It is these now-identified thoughts that control mankind. These random or organized series of hit-&-run thoughts are real. They could gang up on you and force you to be violent, ignite a bomb, trigger a missile. Or hit an innocent child or stranger.
They are real entities like microbes or viruses that kill. And they run loose in that narrow space between our ears. That's right – they roam the dark alleys of your brain and mine. Recent reports such as the mass random killings in Norway, the US, in Libya and Syria, have attested to the fact that certain thoughts known as DED (Deadly Explosive Data) have gone berserk. Yet the United States and other countries are pouring billions into nuclear weapons instead of hunting down our real enemies!
US defense budget for 2012 was an estimated 1 to 1.5 trillion dollars. Less then 0.001% of this budget is enough to fight and win this war of thoughts. A "lone wolf" controlled by DEDs* can poison our reservoirs or cause untold harm to the nation. A recent massacre by a lone soldier in Afghanistan and killings by an isolated gunman in France are further examples. Millions suffer daily when they become emotionally vulnerable, angry, frustrated, impatient, resentful, or hateful. They threaten the country's wealth by depleting its most precious resources: time and energy.
When negative emotions run loose, business stinks. John P. Kotter, award winning business and management thought leader of Harvard declares, "Because of the furious pace of change in business today, difficult to manage relationships sabotage business more than anything else – it is not a question of strategy that gets us into trouble, it is a question of emotions."
This will be a happening of the past. We can now defeat these thoughts. We could not before because our cerebral enemies were never identified, let alone challenged. Imagine a man getting attacked from behind by a real physical mugger. He gets beaten badly and falls to the ground. He then gets up and staggers on, not even turning back to see who assaulted him.
A week later he gets mugged again in that same rough neighborhood, and again walks away without turning back to identify his assailants. Is he some kind of dummy? But 99% of people who are psychologically attacked today and who feel frustration, anger, anxiety, or other deadly emotions do not know who their inner assailants are. Simply because we were NEVER taught who they are, nor how to identify or disarm them.
Time and energy lost in terms of human resources and the economy, are devastating – and run in the trillions of dollars each year.
Individuals getting clobbered can now identify their enemies! We will deploy a worldwide army of preprogrammed mini-robots and other educational means to teach and fight this war. And we are happy to announce that several major corporations are on the frontline to help win this war of the century – a war on fear, greed, ignorance and insecurity.
We are inviting you, and other heads of nations, to join us in this inner war to freedom – on our beautiful planet Earth!

Q: How to fix Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$_POST' (T_VARIABLE) Please, how do i fix this please. I have initially being using mysql with which i have issues. Now i have started learning mysqli. I don't know all the details now but i need to make this script work and secure. Currently i have this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$_POST' (T_VARIABLE) in
  C:\xampp\htdocs\yomi\admin\update.php on line 27

Query:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `news` (

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// prepare and bind
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("UPDATE news SET title = ?,

As someone who has been on several search committees, both denominational and academic, I want to let the region know that this was one of the best I have had the privilege to serve on. It had a good balance between men and women, and both ethnic and racial diversity. It was also a good mix of both pastors and lay people. In every way it represented the ABCNJ family.


There are some fascinating traditional festivals that take place around the globe every month but probably none more bloody (and few more colourful) than the Andean festival of Tinku.
Each May, thousands of indigenous Bolivian indians ascend upon the isolated, mountainous city of Potosi looking to pick a fight.
In a ritual dating back 600 years, local indians slug it out, toe-to-toe until blood is spilt. The spilt blood – an offering to the earth goddess Pachamama – should ensure a successful harvest for the coming season.
As a spectacle it is both horrific and dramatic.
Over the years dozens have died, the ultimate sacrifice to Pachamama. Today, a degree of policing ensures that the fights no longer are to the death.
The video below is in Spanish, but even if you don't catch the commentary, the vision alone – the setting, the colour, the music – is spellbinding.


Article first published as Blu-ray Review: Yi Yi — The Criterion Collection on Blogcritics.
Edward Yang's masterful final film Yi Yi (A One and a Two) transcends description in many ways. You can talk about the wonderfully realized cast of characters, the host of struggles they face, and Yang's unimpeachable knack for making the material come alive, but even the best summary can make the film sound like just another nice "slice-of-life" feature. That severely underplays the film's emotional resonance and its universality, which is executed ever so deftly over its nearly three-hour running time (easily one of the most effortless films of that length to watch).
Yang didn't make a film with a distinct lesson to be learned about humanity's common experiences, but it's hard to imagine not being enriched by watching it. The succession of moments from a set of ordinary lives is filled with touchstones that almost every individual faces in some way — a wedding, a funeral, first love, heartbreak, regret, birth, death — and Yang approaches each with a manner both warm-hearted and clear-eyed. Like life itself, Yi Yi is familiar with the entire emotional spectrum.
The film mainly centers on the Jians, a middle-class family in Taipei, and their lives over the course of a year. Patriarch NJ (Nianzhen Wu) works for a tech firm, and is a thoughtful, if melancholy man. His wife, Min-Min (Elaine Jin), grows increasingly distant due to her mother's (Ruyun Tang) serious illness, which has put her in a coma. 13-year-old daughter Ting-Ting (Kelly Lee) is beginning to enter womanhood and 8-year-old son Yang-Yang (Jonathan Chang) is starting to see the world in new ways.
Surrounding the family is a host of ancillary characters no less richly developed, including Min-Min's obtuse brother A-Di (Xisheng Chen), his new wife (Shushen Xiao) and the jilted lover who keeps popping up into their lives (Xinyi Zeng).
Much of the film deals with people in transition, and the milestones (wedding, funeral, etc.) that punctuate the film act as natural turning points for each character. NJ often watches the major life decisions of the younger characters with a knowing look from afar, and he gets a chance to revisit his past when he bumps into high school sweetheart Sherry (Suyun Ke) and hesitantly pursues her again.
Yi Yi is all about maintaining perspective throughout the various stages of life and coming to terms with not being able to understand everything about the world. This is poignantly expressed by Yang-Yang, who takes to photographing the backs of people's heads to show them what they can't see themselves. Director Yang often frames his characters against reflective surfaces, adding another dimension to what is seen.
Yang establishes a preternaturally natural tone, and actors both experienced (Wu, giving a masterfully controlled performance, and Issey Ogata, illuminating his every scene as NJ's Japanese business associate) and untested (Lee and Chang, both imbued with a physical grace in their first film) mesh together in a tapestry of humanity. The film's confluence of moments is almost unspeakably beautiful. It's one of the finest films of the '00s.
Yi Yi is presented in 1080p high definition with an aspect ratio of 1.85:1. This disc represents a subtle and pleasing improvement over Criterion's 2006 DVD of the film, which already featured extremely impressive image quality. On the whole, the film appears slightly brighter with more natural colors and greater image clarity. There isn't a weak spot at all in the print, and a fine layer of film grain lends the transfer a convincingly film-like image. Yang frames his characters almost exclusively in long and medium shots, and even in extreme long shots, there is an enormous amount of detail visible.
Audio is presented in a 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack, and the stereo mix offers nice vocal ambience throughout, with voices spread cleanly across both channels. The Mandarin (and some English) dialogue is clean and rich, and Kaili Peng's lovely piano score fills out the mix nicely.
Extras here are identical to those on the DVD release. Asian cinema expert Tony Rayns pairs with Yang on a commentary track, and it's wonderful to have Yang's thoughts on the film recorded for posterity (he died in 2007). Rayns is also featured in a breezy, but information-packed interview about the New Taiwan Cinema movement and Yang's place within it. He considers Yi Yi to be one of the greatest accomplishments of that era.
The disc also includes the theatrical trailer (which shows just how impressive Criterion's initial restoration was on the material) and a booklet with an essay by Kent Jones and notes by Yang from the original press kit.
Yi Yi is an essential piece of filmmaking and one of the greatest works of the 21st Century. Yang's films are difficult to come by in this country, and the fact that his final film is easily available in such a fantastic presentation is a major blessing.

Q: Mercurial find illegal name while PULL I pulled my project from bitbucket. Then at merging it mercurial says: abort: filename contains ':', which is reserved on Windows: 'uploads/images/ \xd1\x8d\xd0\xba\xd1\x80\xd0\xb0\xd0\xbd\xd0\xb0 - 29.03.2012 - 19:41:35.png'

How I can remove this file from repo? I don't need it, but it aborts merging. I don't see this file in folder in Windows.

A: On a windows system you could do something like this:
hg clone --noupdate PATH_TO_YOUR_REPO
hg debugsetparent tip
hg remove --after "uploads/images/\xd1\x8d\xd0\xba\xd1\x80\xd0\xb0\xd0\xbd\xd0\xb0 - 29.03.2012 - 19:41:35.png"
hg commit "uploads/images/\xd1\x8d\xd0\xba\xd1\x80\xd0\xb0\xd0\xbd\xd0\xb0 - 29.03.2012 - 19:41:35.png"

After that you could update and then merge.  Probably easier just to do it on an OS with a more forgiving file system though.

John Thompson's Letter to Rolling Stone's Editor
Danielle's Letter to Rolling Stone
David Driscoll's Letter to Rolling Stone
Dear Will Dana,
I understand that you have the freedom to write whatever you want, but don't you have any standards of journalism and fair reporting? The article entitled "Yoga Cult" in your February issue was not only severely biased against Dahn Yoga, it was filled with inaccuracies, slander, and outright lies. What kind of fact checking is required by your editorial team? Are you in the business of investigating issues or are you simply a puppet, repeating the story from only one side?
I'm not excited about bashing two former friends, but in your report you repeat word for word the stories from Amy and Ricardo. I'm writing to tell you that those stories are not true.
Amy Shipley and Ricardo Barba were not the victims of any mind-control or subversive indoctrination. They both chose to be active in Dahn Yoga in order to fix problems that already existed in their lives and ultimately to contribute positively to the world. Amy was a recovering drug addict who had self-esteem problems stemming from being abused by family members when she was a child. Amy was intelligent but tricky, and irresponsible. She abused herself and sought the same kind of treatment from others. Ricardo was unfocused and arrogant, failing to show up to work for regular shifts and talking instead of doing anything while on the job. He was involved with many different women at the same time he was supposedly with Amy. Amy was hurt by his cheating and many times she expressed the desire to move on without him.
Amy was the kind of person who would say or do anything to get by. Before Amy or I had even become involved with Dahn Yoga, I happened to share an apartment with her as a temporary roommate in Chicago. At the time Amy was working part-time jobs and deciding what to do with her life. She was dating an older man and getting money from him. At the same time she was seeing another man. She was not doing drugs heavily when I knew her, but she told me about almost dying from an overdose a few years before when she was in high school. At the end of our time as roommates she decided to travel to Central America and she left without paying her rent. I didn't hear from her for a few years after that, I expected never to see her again.
But then one night she showed up at a Halloween party we were having, dressed as Marilyn Monroe. I was shocked, but pleasantly surprised to see her. We ended up hanging out and she became a regular member at the Dahn Center.
To make a long story short, Amy spoke intelligently and passionately about her desire to become a Dahn master and continued taking trainings. When she started teaching class I could feel the bottled up emotions and self-doubt inside her. But she kept saying "This is what I want, I can do it!" So she kept teaching, taking trainings, taking more responsibility. She would guide other people with such intense passion. Sometimes I wanted to tell her 'slow down' but that was Amy, always going 100 mph. And she did well, becoming more confident and sincere, teaching class better, until finally she became a Master instructor.
Being a Dahn Yoga instructor is not the easiest job in the world, but it's also not the hardest. I would routinely take breaks during the day or on weekends, see friends, go on dates. Amy did too, but she harbored such intense guilt and self-criticism. Guilt and self-criticism are not the kinds of feelings promoted by Dahn Yoga, contrary to what the plaintiffs allege in the lawsuit. Those are the kinds of feelings that one may get after being sexually abused by your relatives and verbally abused by your father, as Amy was. Wherever she went, she brought that kind of self-abuse with her.
Suddenly one day I heard that Amy left and went with some obsessive anti-Dahn guy named Andrew. Amy told me all about Andrew before she left, how he was attracted to her, called her, even planned to come take her away, and kept harassing her with stories of Dahn Yoga being a cult. Amy told me that she knew it was all bullshit and he just wanted to have her. But then she left, and soon enough she was saying the same things. I know Ricardo was hurt by Amy's decision to leave with another man.
I can't blame Amy too much even though she betrayed those of us who she worked with. I don't think she ever really understood why she felt so guilty, and if she did it's long since been obscured by a philosophy of victimization instilled by Lucie Vogel, Steve Hassan and other anti-Dahn organizers. The repeating of her twisted story in your magazine seems downright malicious. I'm not sure what the reporter's motivation was, but I think your magazine should be more responsible about what actually gets put in print.

The goal of the project is to establish an integrated solution for an IP platform that fulfills carrier-class requirements. The KING project involves a number of leading German research institutions and is fifty-fifty funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the initiator and partner of the project Siemens AG (today Siemens Nokia Networks).
Next Generation Networks (NGN) will need to support a variety of services, ranging from high-quality interactive real-time services (for example, voice or real-time video service) to the best-effort services already known on today's internet.
The overall objective of the KING (Key components for the Internet of the Next Generation) research project is to develop efficient solutions for carrier-grade IP networks that satisfy high QoS and resilience requirements by means of a common approach, while at the same time providing low operational overheads.
Next generation IP networks will support besides the best effort delivery model employed today a large number of new services including voice and video real-time communications, application service provisioning, online gaming and they must create the environment for novel services and service models to be developed. Within this framework a flexible and robust carrier-grade QoS architecture must be developed.
The KING project defines a scalable, secure, highly resilient inter-domain QoS architecture able to deliver end-to-end guaranteed QoS on demand.
In particular Mobis has been involved in the design, implementation, testing and validation of the inter-domain resource reservation signalling protocol that supports QoS aggregation and its integration with the intra-domain border-to-border budget allocation concept developed in KING.
The various aspects of QoS provisioning have been long studied and a number of architectures such as IntServ, DiffServ, BGRP and many others have been proposed. Also QoS signalling is a current research topic within the IETF NSIS working group. The KING QoS architecture encompasses mechanisms and features of the existing technologies and enhances and integrates them to fulfil the critical aspects of resilience, flexibility and scalability.


Anguilla is a beautiful island north of Saint Martin in the Caribbean. Known more for it's fishing and high-end hotels, the Lloyd family wanted to bring the surfing to it's pristine beaches through a new local surf shop. They needed something simple enough to transfer easily to collateral, web assets, surfboards, and signage. Something clean, elegant, and timeless that wouldn't take away from the artwork itself. Something like this.


Not all 1911 clones are created equal and Rock Island Armory makes one of the best.

Bono Caught in Mercenaries Debate
July 10, 2006 | By David Jenkins
More: Console/PC
U2 frontman Bono has become embroiled in the political furor surrounding Pandemic's sequel to the LucasArts hit Mercenaries, with the mass media picking up on his involvement with the developer regarding the game's depiction of a U.S. invasion of Venezuela.
Well-known for his charitable work, Bono is also rumored to be a keen video game player, and is one of the managing partners of private equity firm Elevation Partners, which last year bought majority stakes in developers BioWare Corp. and Pandemic, in the process creating one of the industry's first "super developers", with a new holding company called BioWare/Pandemic Studios.
Next generation sequel Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, which has not yet been picked up by any publisher, has already caused controversy due to its depiction of a U.S. invasion of Venezuela, which acts as a backdrop to the game. This led to a number of Venezuelan politicians criticizing the game, in a similar manner to the negative comments from North Korea following the portrayal of that country in the first game.
Although attempts by the Belfast Telegraph and others to contact Bono regarding the issue have failed to receive any response, Jeff Cohen, author of Cable News Confidential has commented to New York Post gossip site Page Six, "It's hard to fathom why an artist who claims to be about new paths to justice for developing countries would be mixed up in a computer game that glorifies stale, old mercenary approaches."
The site also also quotes The Case for Impeachment co-author Dave Lindorff as saying, "This kind of right-wing war game plays to the propaganda message that the Bush White House has been pushing for years: that Chavez is a dictator oppressing his people... Bono should use his financial interest in the company to kill it, or better, he should pull out entirely as an investor, and condemn such imperialist garbage."

Scots based author has written her last book about life as an escort
Niamh Anderson
THE SCOTS based writer of the Secret Diary of a Call Girl has revealed she has penned her last book about life as a hooker.
US author Brooke Magnanti turned to escort work to fund her science studies and caused a media frenzy sensation with the book she wrote about her secret double life.
At first, Magnanti remained anonymous and wrote under the name of Belle de Jour, but later revealed her identity in 2009 before moving to Scotland.
Brooke Magnanti said she will not write another book about her double life Photo:Ultra7
The best-selling books and blogs were then turned into a TV series starring Billie Piper.
But now, the blonde author has revealed she has written her last book about her double-life as an escort.
She said: "After my identity was revealed, it didn't seem likely I could ever write another book as Belle.
"Part of what people loved about the books was the mystery and once that had evaporated I had to ask myself whether people would really be bothered.
"They now know what she looks like and she's just a quite normal average girl.
"I think the TV series also but Belle to bed for me. They picked it up and made it into a character.
"By the end, it had obviously diverged quite a lot from what I had written.
"But in a lot of ways, that's a great thing because people can now differentiate between Belle the character and me.
"I can't deny that the Belle du Jour books have been very good to me and I'm fortunate I can still write. I have nothing bad to say about the books or the show.
"It's kind of had its run. I'm just grateful there are people interested in what I am writing about next."
In Magnanti's latest book, The Sex Myth: Why Everything We're Told Is Wrong, she claims to shatter preconceived myths about the sex industry.
In the book, she argues that a lot of women chose to go into the sex industry, rather than becoming victim to it.
Florida-born Magnanti said: "There are lots of myths surrounding the sex industry.
"You have people with an agenda who are generally against sex works as they feel it is damaging to women.
"Then you have a lot of people with a religious agenda who feel it's morally wrong and people who want to control things they don't understand. I wanted to provide a counter-balance to that."
Magnanti, now lives in Fort William with her husband who she met online.
The couple moved to the Highlands to escape the "hate mail" which Magnanti received after revealing her identity in 2009.

Renold is currently investing in new technology to drive greater efficiency and accuracy in its processes, replacing its former ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems and also introducing new WMS (warehouse management) systems, worldwide. "There is a great deal of raw material movement in our business and we need to know where our inventory is at any time" explains group business systems director Sarah Cobb, who is driving the change. "Clearly, inventory accuracy underpins any successful systems implementation of this kind: it boosts efficiency when you know exactly where the inventory is located that you need for a given operation. We have a very broad customer base, which is a good thing, but breadth and diversity demand good systems to underpin the business" Sarah Cobb adds.
For historic reasons Renold had a myriad of ERP systems across the group (and a fragmented systems history) but is now moving to a single ERP. It is currently rolling out the Infor M3 ERP system across more than 20 manufacturing, distribution and sales sites including America, South Africa, China, India, Germany and Australia, alongside TouchPath's 'TouchWMS' system (www.touchpath.com/solutions/warehouse-management-systems-wms) which can be integrated with any ERP. "TouchWMS is a flexible, tried and tested system that does exactly what it says on the tin" Sarah Cobb observes. This is the group's first foray into WMS, though Cobb does have previous personal experience of TouchWMS.
To date the WMS has been well received by Renold users including those in Cardiff, Germany and Switzerland (around 120 employees in total) where the tangible benefits of barcoding – the first WMS application to be implemented across the group – already seemed to have overcome any early user reservations. WMS implementation in India and China is planned for 2018 alongside M3 ERP. "In Germany our colleagues seem to particularly appreciate the time that barcoding saves them now that they can book in inventory on the spot, and also book their manufacturing orders as soon they are completed. They also like having an up to date picture of events" says Renold business systems implementation manager Craig Price.
Renold's UK site in Cardiff is already live with both M3 ERP and TouchWMS. Its US site in Tennessee is also live; there the company currently uses SAP, but now integrated with TouchWMS.
A key benefit of Renold's barcoding initiative using TouchWMS has been the ability to record operational booking within the manufacturing process, in real time. Going forward it will allow planners to know immediately where product is, and help them to understand schedule adherence, establish completion dates and direct labour resources. The system also allows the booking of production set-up and process times, allowing efficiency to be measured and improving costing accuracy through variance analysis. Also, the elimination of progress card collection and booking is labour-saving and more environmentally friendly.
The previous use of paper-based systems meant that stock movements were updated on the ERP system sometime after they had taken place, which led to product location and booking inaccuracies.
"The use of barcoding now gives us real time updates showing the product and location used" Sarah Cobb says. "Over the course of the year this will save us the significant amounts of time that we used to spend investigating inventory levels that were not up to date or were inaccurate. Real time stock updates also allow PI (perpetual inventory management) to take place throughout the day in the knowledge that what is being counted is 'as is', not out of date.
"Keeping track of goods arriving at a site can cause problems when the paperwork and the goods are parted. The use of WMS-driven barcoding now allows us to process the receipt without moving away from the goods, as with mobile printing GRNs (goods received notes) and product labels can be produced next to the goods. This ensures a high level of accuracy. When the goods are ready to be located the GRN can be quickly and easily scanned for identification and put-away" Sarah Cobb adds.
Sarah Cobb concludes: "Before, there were odd pockets of barcoding for particular processes but no company-wide system that was properly integrated with ERP. Over time, the role of WMS in Renold will grow, but our first WMS step, all-sites barcoding for all inventory movements is already having a marked and measurable impact on the business".


In this guide I'll cover a handful of design techniques for building usable dropdown navigation menus. This includes multi-level dropdowns and mega menus which all rely on the same core design principles.
It's a good idea to include markers for links that have sub-menus attached. These small visual indicators let users know where links are placed and how to access them.
And these rules apply to all menus whether you're designing with 1 tier or 4 tiers of links.
Markers can range from arrows to dots or squares or anything noticeable. Most users are smart enough to pick up what the symbol means, so long as it's universal.
The Threadbird navigation is a fantastic example of this effect in action.
Some of their links have sub-menus while others don't. In fact some of their links have sub-sub-menus which you can only discern by their unique marker next to each link.
Threadbird uses the right-pointing double angle quotation mark, simplified to raquo. Web designers prefer this symbol over a single arrow because it's bulkier and easier to notice at a distance. Plus it holds its shape well even at smaller sizes.
You can find a similar design on the TutsPlus navigation. They use downward-pointing arrows for dropdowns and right-pointing arrows(closing point brackets) for the flyout menus.
One thing I don't like in this design is the sub-menu arrow style. The arrow icons only appear while hovering a menu item, even though all the other links have submenus too. Good design practices would encourage keeping these arrows visible at all times.
But I do like the simplicity of the TutsPlus design. It's a perfect example of how tiny little markers can go a long way towards better usability.
It drives me crazy when I see designers misusing space in their navigation.
The majority of dropdown menus have a bit of space between links. But there's a huge difference between margins and padding.
With margins you need to click/tap on the actual link text. The clickable area is only as large as the text itself. But with padding you can make the entire area clickable meaning the user has a much larger target. In the context of menu links I'd argue larger is always better.
Webdesigner Depot has a cool animated dropdown menu courtesy of their recent redesign. When you hover the "blog" link you'll get a two-column dropdown menu. If you hover any of these links you'll notice they use padding to create space.
This means you can click in the white space around the link text which makes navigating the site a lot easier.
Most dropdown menus fall into one of two types: padding for spacing or margins for spacing.
You can tell by hovering the space around the link to see if your cursor turns into a clickable glove. Here's an example of a site that doesn't use padding.
The Philadelphia Orchestra has a fantastic website. Clean, usable, and easy to read.
But when you hover any of the dropdown links you'll notice only the text is clickable. Worst of all their dropdown menus are pretty wide, but the link text is fairly short.
I can't imagine a scenario where margins would be better than padding. By making the links block-level elements they can span 100% of the dropdown menu. This means the user could click anywhere in that link's box and still visit the page.
To me the choice is obvious. If you can increase the click/tap area of links in your dropdown menus then you'll greatly improve the navigation experience.
Designing an "active" class for hovered menus keeps attention where it belongs. Most designers use the CSS :hover pseudo-class which works great for actively-hovered links.
But it's also a good idea to keep the main link highlighted when the user is hovering submenu links. This denotes a clear path of activity where anyone can glance at the menu and quickly determine which primary link is active & which sub-menu link is hovered.
You can design hover states with many techniques like font color changes, BG color changes, text underlines, highlights, box shadows, whatever. The goal is to keep the parent link activated even when it's not being directly hovered.
DePauw University uses very simple contrasting colors between white and black. The default navigation uses white text on a dark background. When hovering a link you'll notice that these colors reverse.
But when you hover a primary link with a sub-menu you'll also notice it stays lit up the whole time. You can hover any internal link and still get that main highlight effect.
Each design can have its own styles so you don't need to go black & white like DePauw. But the active styles should be noticeably different than the default links.
On Comedy Central's website you'll find the same effect. But instead of a white highlight color they use a lime green/yellow.
You can build a working dropdown menu without this active highlight effect. But UX designers know that just because something works doesn't mean it's working optimally.
I think all dropdown menus should keep an active highlight over the parent link. This also includes sub-sub-menus that go 2-3 layers deep.
CSS3 mixed with jQuery can make some powerful animations for the web. Dropdown menus thrive on animation whether they're sliding or fading into view.
But animation should always serve a purpose. UI/UX designers need to use animation practically. It should bring the interface to life but shouldn't slow down the user experience in the process.
The best dropdown animations can be summarized with two words: quick yet noticeable.
Take a peek at the ESPN top navigation. You can hover any sports division to get a dropdown menu of teams and related links.
This dropdown clearly slides into view from top to bottom. However it does this quickly so you're not stuck waiting 2-3 seconds before you can interact with the links.
Generally I recommend keeping menu animations at 1.5 seconds or less. This rule of thumb only applies to menu animations because they're interactive elements. But you can easily extend animations for other page items up to 3-5 seconds(or more) if it makes sense.
Ironically the CSS MenuMaker website has a stunning top menu design. The dropdowns have callout arrows like speech bubbles to denote which primary link it belongs to.
But in the context of animation these dropdowns are swift. I'd estimate their animations run for 300 milliseconds quickly fading in & out of view.
But they only animate when focus moves elsewhere, so once they're visible the links do feel solid.
That's the key to a great dropdown menu animation. It should have that magical sense we all love in animation, but the animated element should also feel like a solid part of the page.
A quality dropdown menu considers both form and function. Yes it should look nice, but it should also function well and create a fantastic experience for the visitor.
These tips are some that I live by in my design work. They're all pretty simple to add into your dropdown menus with very little code. And if you're looking for more examples of great nav menus take a peek through our inspiration section.
Personally, I hate navigation that goes more than 2 sub-levels deep. I think it's poor UX and you should definitely be considering better information architecture when you're hiding your content in a maze for users to find.
It also brings frustration into the mix when trying to carefully hover over a specific set of nav links so the right ones stay open. Sure, you can add helpers like hoverIntent to fix this bug but I think it's a problem better solved with more thoughtful IA.

The presidency isn't taking likely the comments credited to Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde where she called out the government over the various issues being faced by its citizens.
According to the spokesman for the presidency, Bashir Ahmad, who took to his Twitter handle on Tuesday, April 16, 2019, revealed that a lot of people who have worked diligently for their money aren't complaining in the country.
"Madam Omotola those who are working for CLEAN money are not complaining and will never refer our dear country as 'hellish'. In Kano State alone, from 2015 to 2018, no fewer than 200 medium and small scale rice milling centres emerged. For that, billions circulated among millions," he tweeted.
The presidency's response to Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde's recent rants on social media goes a long way to show that they got a bit worried. However, we wonder why the spokesman made reference to 'Clean Money' in his tweet. Is there something we don't know that the presidency knows?
It would be recalled that about 24 hours ago, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde called out the government over the highhandedness of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad and the lack of money in circulation.

House security systems are quick becoming as a lot a part of the average home as are microwaves and devices. Lowers in cost along with increasing technology have actually made keeping an eye on house protection cost effective as well as very easy.
The National Break-in and Emergency alarm Organization lately reported that a robbery happens every 15 secs in the United States. One in 4 residents are buying home safety systems. With the average break-in feing roughly $1700 according to the Justice Department, a protection system is worth the money.
Residence safety systems could cost as little as $12 or as high as thousands. The key to selecting the ideal system is in figuring out precisely what is required. Self monitoring saves money. Nevertheless, if someone tries to break in, the property owner has to call the authorities. When on subscription tracking, the checking firm informs authorities.
Some cities need alarm authorizations as well as cost substantial costs for duds, definitely something to think about before paying subscription fees.
With the low cost as well as availability of cordless systems, tenants not have to bother with shielding home. A wireless home security system can be established in as few as 30 minutes for under $20. Audible alarms can be added. The noise alone is often enough to send potential trespassers packaging.
The fact that cordless home safety systems are state-of-the-art as well as function current technology is both true blessing as well as curse. Technology breakthroughs so swiftly that what is new today is usually obsolete tomorrow.
Wireless systems operate on radio frequency. While this makes setup easy, it also permits other wireless things to conflict. Interference can result in duds. Wired systems also have issues with false alarms, so going with a wired system doesn't suggest duds will be prevented.
There are 2 types of home security systems. Diy (DIY) and skillfully mounted. Professional systems are usually mounted by business that provide both installment as well as tracking services.
Do It Yourself residence protection systems could be purchased at discount stores, digital stores, home renovation as well as equipment stores. Lots of computer shops have added residence safety to their list of given solutions. Do It Yourself systems are economical as well as budget friendly on most spending plans. Sadly, what is gotten in rate may be shed in quality.
When buying Do It Yourself house safety systems, shop in your area with respectable suppliers. Ensure there's a guarantee and reimbursement plan.
Well-known professional residence security systems companies include ADT as well as Verge. Both supply every little thing from evaluation to installment to surveillance. Subscription costs for surveillance could be expensive. Many require a contract securing companies for as long as two years.
Both business now have workplaces throughout the country, consisting of backwoods. Some rural energy suppliers, like the Electric Cooperatives in the South, offer safety and security systems. Fees are included in the month-to-month energy bill.
Today's residence safety and security systems are portable, cordless systems that can be used virtually anywhere. They're economical as well as easy to personalize. Operating the control panel does not need a great deal of technical knowledge.
Residence and company owner can make the most of the inexpensive, simple to make use of systems and also get a price cut of as long as 20% on insurance coverage.
