Groomers need to be a little more attentive. We often take our dog home and find patches of unkempt fur straight after a grooming. Not bad but not great, especially considering the price tag.
Great customer service. The ladies are very attentive to our dog, who is a little bit special. More like a human child than a dog. Yet none the less the staff strive to ensure doggy happiness!
Absolutely delightful , our puppy Ziggy learnt so much from you gals! Ziggy made new friends and so did we ???
Staff are always friendly and helpful. Great selection of pet supplies and the groomers did an excellent job with my little monster.
Took my friends dog, Roo, who I am sitting at the moment. She's a little bit shy but the staff were so good with her. She went in for a Wash and tidy treatment and was ready 2 hours later smelling and looking fab. Jess and the team were great.
These guys did a fantastic job with Taco! After a couple of bad experiences, Taco was apprehensive when it comes to grooming, but after the ladies at Dogue were done with him, he was so happy and full of love. Thank you!
Very friendly staff and professional. I feel very comfortable leaving my much loved puppy in their hands and very happy with the cut and service. Would highly recommend.
Ralph had his first groom at Dogue today and he looks absolutely gorgeous and smells delicious! Highly recommend!
Having moved recently from Melbourne with 2 medium labradoodles I'm extremely happy with the quality of dog grooming and care at Dogue Balmain - a very professional and friendly business. My dogs went in and came out calm, happy and looking great!
Silvana, Jess and the Dogue Balmain crew are wonderful. My airedale Reuben can't wait for his grooming appointments. They care so much for all of their fur clients and always go over and above to accomodate to ensure every puppy is happy.
My dog smelled lovely and continued to smell lovely for a few weeks after his day at Dogue and he was so soft! Great haircut to suit the breed (Cavoodle). Will be going back. Professional friendly staff. Highly recommend.
More importantly is that my pet Cavoodle (Gigi) loves it. She loves the staff and they love her back. She's never anxious or hesitant to go there to be well looked after and pampered.
My dogs Molly and Ruby went for their first groom today with Dogue. I am super happy with the result. Will be back!
Hey Everyone! We have a few grooming appointments available tomorrow! (our last day before the holidays) Get mum or dad to give us a call to get your Easter furs done.


The Days of Johann, an agility dog!: This Veterans Day we salute our K9 war heroes and those that provide service and therapy to veterans in need!
This Veterans Day we salute our K9 war heroes and those that provide service and therapy to veterans in need!
Today is Veterans Day in the United States, and we are saluting all the dogs that serve our country, as well as the many service and therapy dogs that provide our returning disabled and injured veterans with the help they need to cope with the challenges of every day life.
War dogs are veterans too.
Working along side brave soldiers, K9 Corps have helped soldiers since WW I fight for our freedom - saving many, many lives, with no regard for their own.
Visit my Dogs of War lens and learn more about our canine military heroes throughout history.
This lens honors these canine heroes who give of their lives to veterans throughout the United States, and serve them selfishly - providing them with much needed assistance, comfort and friendship.
A big HOOAH from all of us!
May God bless and protect all of our veterans - two-legged and four!
Salute to the veteran dogs!
That's really neat about the "Walter Reed" for canines. It's about time the K-9 dogs were recognized for all they do by giving them the care they deserve. It's got to be good for the morale of their human charges as well.

Hard to believe, but we're already at the weekend! Not too much for today is already sold out, so there are still lots of opportunities to enjoy the many cultural events of movie premiers planned for today!
Film Talks
Today's Film Talk features Hiroshi TAKAHASHI, screenwriter for the occult classic The Ring and director of this year's Occult Bolshevism. Tom Mes will moderate.
Nippon Live: Hatobako
This evening's concert, provided by a musical duo from Heidelberg, is free of admission.
Panel Discussion: Coproducing Documentary Films with Japan
Our new section NIPPON DOCS represents the ascent of the Japanese documentary, which today belongs to the top exports of Japanese film production with respect to quality content. Yet filmmakers from both the field of documentary and fictional films are equally affected by a lack of funding; little money is available, and it is becoming lesser still. Our panel discussion focuses on the question if money from abroad can secure the future of Japanese documentaries. The discussion is in English and attendance is free.
Kendama Workshop
Kendama is a game of skill that has been played in Japan for over 300 years. The concept is simple, but it takes a lot of skill and practice. The tool is composed of a handle (ken) and a ball (dama) connected by a thread. The player has to land the ball on the handle. The specialists of Kendama Europe will show you impressive tricks and allow you to try this addictive game out for yourself. The workshop is in German.
Learn Productive Work from the Germans
This book presentation from Kan SUMITA will examine how and why differences in German and Japanese work culture contribute to Germans being markedly more efficient and productive than their Japanese counterparts. The presentation is in Japanese with German translation.
Aikido Workshop
This workshop offers insight into a method of self-defense that values the physical integrity of both attacker and defendant. Participants are kindly asked to bring comfortable clothes. No prior experience needed. Workshop is in German.
Women Portrayed in Films and Songs
Japanese cinema was in a crisis in the 60s and 70s, but, perhaps because of this, it was a clear mirror of the country's culture and society at the time. Many modern-day classics, including the filmography of SASORI and Meiko KAJI, reflectively caught the mood of the times. Naoki NIIRA, Managing Director of the Japanese Visualmedia Translation Academy, will also use this presentation to reflect on the music of films made during the "Bubble Economy" of the 1980s. Admission is free and the lecture will be in Japanese with English translation.
Subtitling Workshop
The subtitling of films involves much more than just literal translation. It's a unique form of art that requires precision and creativity. Participants in the workshop under the direction of Jonathan M. Hall can take a shot at the production of subtitles. No knowledge of Japanese is needed.
The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl by Masaaki YUASA
The second work by director YUASA being shown at the festival will premiere at noon in Mousonturm.
Cyclops by Norichika OBA
Tonight is the international premier for this independent noir-thriller, featured in our Nippon Visions section.
Tokyo University of the Arts: Animation
Over the course of its 120-year history, the Tokyo University of the Arts has helped countless artists to launch their careers. The short films presented here are from students of the Masters program at the Institute for Animated Film in Yokohama and cover a wide variety of styles. Yuichi MATSUMOTO, composer and assistant professor at the Tokyo University of the Arts, will guide the audience through the program.
NHK-World Exclusive Screenings
Today's special documentary screenings by NHK tells the story of the remarkable daughter of the famed Japanese artist, Hokusai.
SPECIAL SCREENING: Vibrator by Ryuichi HIROKI
With Shinobu Terajima attending the festival as our guest of honor, this special screening will allow the uninitiated to experience the remarkable performance that first put her on the cinematic map.

The Name by Akihiro TODA
The film's director will attend its German premiere tonight.
Oh Lucy! by Atsuko HIRAYANAGI

We got back from a 7-hour long road trip with LO (little one) last night. He woke us up at 1AM crying (the dreaded sleep regression is upon us). However, I was so deliriously exhausted that thought the crying was my alarm and started the shower to get ready for work. 🤦♀ Thought it might be fun to share some humor! What funny "mom moments" have you guys experienced?
We were at my grandmother's house and I had just finished feeding my DD (dear daughter) and set her on the bed. I was extremely stressed and my mind was all over the place because my grandmother has bad dementia so we have to watch her carefully with the baby. Anyways, for some reason I thought my baby need a pacifier right then and there, no burping and literally unlatched her and tried to shove a pacifier in. Well, she gagged and puked up EVERYTHING she just ate. All over herself and the bed. Luckily she wasn't upset about it, but I panicked. Ran and got my Aunt cuz I was so tapped out I didn't know where to start on cleaning it up. My Aunt is awesome and helped me out and we got it cleaned up and everything was fine.
The other night I was asleep, and when I rolled over I felt my LO (little one) in the space next to me. I panicked, because we don't co-sleep, and she was UNDER the covers! I reached down to grab her, and felt her head... "OMG," I thought, "why is her head so misshapen? Why is she so hairy? Why is her nose so big? Why does she have long TEETH?" After more than a few moments of panic, I realized it was my dog.

This is by far my favorite topic lol. Keep posting people!
I keep putting the entire block of cheese in the microwave instead of back in the fridge.


A few videos from the last few weeks that I've posted to Facebook but ought to post here as well!
Throwing hot water into the air in -30 degrees C. We'd seen this on the internet before and decided to try it for ourselves. Pretty!
A compilation for Neke and Garth from our day snowshoeing halfway up Yoho Pass by Emerald Lake.
After 3 weeks with very little snow, the storm arrived and started snowing. It's now been snowing most days for the last week and expecting to continue for a few more days. This leads to beautiful fresh untouched powdery snow on the skifield, which we love.
Alana and Martin – Travelling everywhere!


Today, we will visit the state of Karnataka. As with every state, Karnataka also has it regional cuisines and so it is such a huge list of recipes to research. When I read about this Mangalore Veg biryani, I was hooked. When we make biryani, we don't add coconut in the spice paste but use coconut milk to cook the biryani. But in this version of biryani, coconut is added in the spice paste itself which gives you a very different flavour. As with every biryani recipe, the list of ingredients is long, but they are just everyday spices available easily in any kitchen.
This is a simple version which is cooked in one pot style. Again you can either pressure cook, or use an open pan or use a rice cooker for making this delicious biryani. The only point you need to remember is to adjust the water according to your cooking method. The vegetables added is your choice. Add whichever you like. I have used carrots, green peas, potato and cauliflower. With all the vegetables and the spice paste, the biryani turns out really full of flavour and colour. Serve it with a simple raitha for the side for a satisfying meal.
In a mixer jar, take all the ingredients listed under spice paste, add water and grind to a smooth fine paste.
Wash and soak basmati for 30 minutes.
IN a pan, heat 1 tbs of ghee and add all the whole spices.
Add in onions and saute until browned.
Add chopped tomato and stir until it is mushy.
Add the vegetables and saute for a minute or two.
Add the spice paste and cook on low flame until there is no water left.
Drain the rice and add it to the pan along with water and salt.
Cover and cook until the rice is completely cooked.
Serve with a raitha on the side.
Gayathri , the spice paste with coconut sounds delicious . Yes you are right normally coconut milk is used to cook the rice , I am sure this paste must have added special flavour to the rice . Need to try this version .
This biryani sounds fantastic Gayathri, must try. I think we also use a paste similar to it, but as you can imagine we make so many that we tend to forget some naturally..:)..that bowl looks so inviting..
The spice paste sounds soo flavorful. Pulao looks so good with all the veggies.
The spice paste adds loads of flavor to this biryani. It looks so amzing.
Mangalore cooking is almost similar to Malabar cuisine with coconut used a lot.. Lovely biryani there!!
My aunt prepares veg pulao with a similar masala. So many memories attached to this pulao. And I am loving this.
Anything with coconut, I am all up for it. This sounds so delicious and I have already bookmarked.

August Singles 1
Published August 29, 2022 by Stephen Carradini
1. "Part 1" – Passepartout Duo. This reverent, enfolding ambient/drone piece is built on a homemade instrument called the Chromaplane: "With a pickup coil in each hand, we trace shapes above the instrument's flat surface to unveil its hidden landscape of oscillators buzzing in the electromagnetic field." I can't see it happening, but the sonic presence of an unusual and beautiful instrument can be felt in the subtle ways it works: swooping sounds feel like distinctive, intentional approaches. Words struggle to describe it. Highly recommended.
2. "Before we can be together (ft. Synne Sanden)" – Wow Sailor. I've been getting heavily into atmospheric ambient sounds recently, and Wow Sailor ticks those boxes for me.
3. "Lemon Day" – Nils Frahm. An 18-minute ambient piece in the vein of Brian Eno's Music for Airports. It's a lovely, breathy, gently swooping piece.
4. "Early" – Henning Schmiedt. An elegant, weighty, carefully developed piano piece that controls several different moods admirably.
5. "I'd Sell Out" – Thea Evans. A spartan yet sturdy singer/songwriter rumination with intensely immediate vocals.
6. "Monsters" – Driftwood Scarecrow. Low-key electronic indie-pop that sounds like a mashup of The Postal Service's beats, Dashboard Confessional's lyrics, and Sufjan Stevens' emotional timbre. I loved it the first time I heard it.
7. "Animate" – Lore City. A ruminative, exploratory track that combines vocals so processed as to almost be abstracted over an Indian-inflected collection of percussion, staccato piano, and drone. Is "ominously meditative" a compliment? I hope so.
8. "Against Numbers ft. Katie Von Schleicher" – Wilder Maker. The pantheon of indie-rock songs about sports is not a large collection (although it does include the transcendent "All Kinds of Time" by Fountains of Wayne). Wilder Maker's song about a basketball shot appeals to me via its topical concerns (I am a huge NBA fan) and its sonic excellence: this arrangement is spot-on, the fuzzed-out guitars land perfectly, and the tone is urgent in all the ways that a last second shot in a game is. It's so good.
9. "Truce" – Vela Vada. I'd never stopped to ponder what a combination of Pogo's chirpy burbles, ODESZA's maximalist electronica, and a New Orleans Jazz combo might sound like, but now I know it would sound like this. A truly unique and interesting combo here. Highly recommended.
10. "Sunburn" – Sylvan Esso. Sylvan Esso's latest electro clip is both weirder and more straightforward that their early work: the lyrics are peculiar but attractive, the structure of the song is fairly stream-of-consciousness, and the vocal melodies are delightfully off-kilter. At the same time, the beats and synths feel immediately accessible and enjoyable. Sylvan Esso never disappoints.
Independent Clauses 2022 Playlist 2
Well, it's a touch late, but it's still here: Independent Clauses Spotify Playlist 2 for 2022. Lisa's additions to the summer soundtrack include music from artists gracing the blog's pages and music I discovered at some recent festivals rescheduled as a result of the pandemic. I was overwhelmed by the women I heard onstage, including Samantha Fish, Lindsay Lou, and ORGONE. Mixed with these great voices and performances was an incredible mix of soul, blues rock, and roots, sliding towards the hip hop and jazz-infused brilliance of New Orleans trumpeter Shamarr Allen. In the end, this playlist is all about the vibrancy of life unfolding, as Shakey Graves reminds us.
Stephen's additions include mellow sounds from Alister Fawnwoda, Cool Maritime, Lunar Lemur, and Airport People. Peppier inclusions from Gold Panda, Fantastic Cat, and CLIFFWALKER round out the collection. —Lisa Whealy & Stephen Carradini
José Medeles with Marisa Anderson, M. Ward, and Chris Funk
Published August 9, 2022 by Stephen Carradini
Railroad Cadences & Melancholic Anthems by José Medeles with Marisa Anderson, M. Ward, and Chris Funk is a unique release. Medeles gets top billing as the convener of the occasion, a drummer who wanted to make a tribute to John Fahey not by covering the legendary guitarist's work but by creating songs in his style. To do this, Medeles had to recruit guitarists who could play in Fahey's style, landing on the trio above. Each of the 11 guitar-and-percussion pieces features Medeles and a single guitarist: five for Anderson, four for Chris Funk, and two for M. Ward.
This unusual process makes the album a bit of a collection rather than a statement. Each of the guitarists contribute at least one "Railroad Cadence" and one "Melancholic Anthem," but it's Marisa Anderson's upbeat, melodic opener "Please Send to J.F." that exemplifies the Railroad Cadence and Chris Funk's exploratory, ruminative closer "Voice Of The Turtle" that exemplifies the melancholic anthems. ("Voice of the Turtle" also includes a long recording of Fahey talking about the guitar and performing, which is very melancholic indeed.)
Between these poles, the guitarists each have high points: M. Ward's walking-pace "Something Else" evokes "Chinese Translation"-era charm while still delivering on an instrumental guitar instead of voice. The ominous, bluesy "The Paper Snake" is a high point from Anderson, while Funk's work on the shapeshifting "Golden" stands out.
Throughout it all, Medeles holds the record together. Medeles' drumming is tasteful, restrained, and spot-on. Rattling snares, booming toms, and low cymbals slide fluidly in the melancholy pieces. The same concepts keep the earthy, traditional country-folk energy going during the upbeat work. These songs are supposed to sound iconic, and they for the most part do: if that comes at the sacrifice of some of the pieces' individuality, that's a price a tribute will pay. The vibes never stop on this one; it's a good tribute to a legendary part of the scene in feel and sound. Fans of Fahey will appreciate it, and fans of folk music in general would do well to give it a listen (especially those looking to see another side of M. Ward).
Grandpa Jack throws down creepy rock with style
Those who love gritty rock and roll, thank the airwaves for generations of musicians that grew up on old classic southern rock, and look for that "Aerosmith meets Alice in Chains" grind can count on bands like Grandpa Jack. The Brooklyn rockers land with Grits to throw down in style.
The power trio of Matt C. White, Jared Schapkerf, and John Strom deliver a nine-track, self-produced trip with the help of Stephen Mason & Kyle McEvoy (recording), Matt Labozza (mixing/engineering), and Brad Boatright (mastering). The result is a cohesive mind trip reminiscent of early Roger Waters. White leads the way, but the vibe is only achieved with these three musicians joining forces into one distinct sonic feel.
Opener "Once Bitten" tosses rockers off into a carefully crafted, downbeat-driven world. Heavy, deliberate, drawn-out production generates a drift and drive. Standout "Hate the Heartbeat" has echoes of Richie Blackmore, as emotion seethes out of each vocal. White's voice is perfectly balanced with the guitar and stripped instrumentation.
Personally, I listen to albums. Grits is for me and other album lovers, because the artistry of "Moths" would be lost to someone just jumping in on that song as a standalone piece of music. Though brilliant, it is the connective tissue that audiences need to get to "Evil Eye." Its lyricism drops into the instrumental stunner "Mosquitos," subtle and biting.
"Consumption Crawl" seems a decadent, drifting bit of genius that embraces an essence of haunting backwoods darkness. Clueing in their audience with the fact that "Consumption II Parasite" creeps the theme on, the plodding production quality lends itself to a sonic palette of haunting grit and analog beauty. They sharply drop into the album's ending with "Consumption II Cannibal" reminiscent of the greatest moments of Dave Peverett's (Foghat) guitar style.
Closing out an album like this requires an artistry not many rockers possess. "Consumption Crawl Reprise" is an homage to the true musicality of this nine-song release. Nuanced, pulsing, it breathes as it slowly eases to its final beat. Grandpa Jack 's Grits creeps out into the summer, as some of the best music so far this year.–Lisa Whealy
Andrew Adkins' celebratory blues rock is a unique gift
Great songwriters are wordsmiths who color the world lush, binding us into a shared moment in time with one note, melody, refrain, and chorus at a time. It's an undeniable gift few artists really possess, like Jason Isbell, Oliver Wood, and Andrew Adkins. Adkins' Rattlesnake Motions is an immersive, classic blues rock experience that can't be missed.
The grit and grind struts in via opener "Satellite Mind," with its laid back, whistling-in-the-dark kind of vibe. It drifts right into the first single "Broken Fangs," which seems to reinforce the shared horror story we have all lived through since B.C. (before COVID). To me, the video seemed weird and disjointed, yet it may be bringing to light the horror that many people of color live with all of the time. Who is the real villain, anyway? I would guess that Adkins suspects it is our perception of each other.
"Divided Lines" might be what the fearless would lead the parade of change with. A feel-good rag, somehow still calling out the truth. The grittier "Mysterious Engines" fleshes out with trippy synthesizers and driving bass.
Sequencing becomes another piece of artistry in albums like Rattlesnake Motions. We are on a trip here, in the tradition of a cohesive piece of storytelling. Halfway through, "Beautiful and Free" rests easily on the soul, a contrast to the imagery that blasts in with "Death Rattles" and its funky spoken word throwdown. Does everyone have the same chance to experience life in the United States, or is it really about the color of your skin, where you come from, or what you believe? Brilliant!
"Quebrado" punctuates with a multitude of instrumentation in its message of excess. Audiophiles should relish plugging this trip into headphones for a sonic escape. The horns, guitar, and group vocals of "Into Dust" embrace the soul. Jarred back to some other reality, "Whites Creek Rose" rolls on with a frighteningly familiar country twang that feels a bit like a Stephen King short story. Go figure.
Heading out, "The Explosions In My Head" celebrates the shared trip we have all been on, so full of celebratory horns. "Random Cloud Patterns" might be one of my favorite songs of the year, like a warm hug from Mr. Rogers. Adkins' real, authentic rich vocal tone reinforces what the lyrics of his album say: be yourself. —Lisa Whealy


APPLIED SECURITY VISUALIZATION "Collecting log data is one thing, having relevant information is something else.
The art to transform all kinds of log data into meaningful security information is the core of this book.
Raffy illustrates in a straight forward way, and with hands-on examples, how such a challenge can be mastered.

Having proved his class against his own age group, it is now time for Mr Quickie to step up to the big league. That is the view of Pakenham trainer Phillip Stokes ahead of Mr Quickie contesting Saturday's group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington. Mr Quickie, which is managed by Ballarat-base syndicator Wylie Dalziel Roy Higgins Racing, has his first start as a four-year-old on Saturday having not raced since winning the Queensland Derby at Eagle Farm in June. A spell in Queensland enjoying the winter sun rather than the cold, wet and windy conditions at Pakenham has Stokes looking forward to the return. For Stokes, a finish in the top five or six will be a pass mark while also noting there is improvement to come. "Last time in he won first-up over 1400 metres," Stokes said. "He's had the grounding for it but there's nothing like match fitness. "He will improve off it, but it's a real race and it will give us a good indication of which way we'll go in the spring." Mr Quickie is a first acceptor in the Cox Plate and has been weighted at 53kg and 52.5kg respectively in the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups. He is also entered in the Epsom Handicap, 1600m, at Randwick. Stokes says there is still a lot to play out before Mr Quickie is considered for any of those spring features. Even though Mr Quickie was successful at 2000m and 2400m last campaign, Stokes wants to see the gelding produce his form during the spring. "I know he's won over 2000 metres and 2400 metres, but is he a miler?," Stokes queried. "Hopefully we'll find all that out on Saturday." A GROUP of 18 European horses, including Melbourne Cup favourites Mustajeer and Constantinople, have entered quarantine in England ahead of the trip to Australia for spring carnival features. Those horses, 11 owned in Australian interests including six who will join local stables, will spend two weeks in quarantine in Newmarket before flying to Melbourne. They are scheduled to arrive in Melbourne on September 28 to begin post-export quarantine at Werribee. Three Japanese horses - Suzuka Devious, Meiner Fanrong, and Meiner Wunsch - are due to arrive at Werribee on September 24, four days before the first shipment of European horses. Another three Japanese horses - Caulfield Cup joint favourite Mer De Glace, and Cox Plate invitees Kluger and Lys Gracieux - are scheduled to arrive in Melbourne on October 1 to take the number of horses at Werribee to 24. A second shipment of European horses, primarily targeting the Melbourne Cup, is due in Melbourne on October 12. This group is expected to include defending Melbourne Cup champion Cross Counter and last year's runner-up Marmelo.

Cars and speed are two terms that go hand-in-hand without a doubt. The Tachometer Tambour Automatic Chronograph by Louis Vuitton is attempting to secure a place between the two, and boy does it fit like a glove! The Tachometer, inspired by the dashboards of race cars from the seventies, is done with elegant touches of black, grey and red. The instrument sports a sophisticated character with the grey dial that can be described as vintage and contemporary at the same time. A small red central hand can be found at the minute totalizer, while a triple circular tachometric scale allows you to measure the average speed travelled over a kilometer.
The specialty of the Louis Vuitton Tachometer Tambour Automatic Chronograph watch is the fact that the scale on it makes it possible for users to measure lowers speeds up to 20 km/hr, as against ordinary tachometer scales that do not allow you to calculate average speeds below 60km/hr. It is powered by the LV 168 automatic caliber and has a power reserve of 42 hours.
The Tachometer is produced in a limited, numbered edition of 888 pieces, while the new model in pink gold is available in a limited edition of 88 pieces.

Q: how to obtain a value from a multidimensional array inside an object using a variable as index I'm trying to switch from procedural php to OOP php and i am quite new in this.
i created a class and i am trying to make a method but it dosn't work and i am quite sure it is a syntax issue.
here's the code:
    class abcd {
    public $a;
    public $b;
    public $c;
    public $d;

    function rule(){
    $the_key = array_search($this->a, array_column($this->b, 'X'));
    if(is_null($this->b[$the_key]['Y']) && $this->c == 0){
    $output = $this->a . " some text here.";}
else {$output = null;}
    return $output;
    }
    }

I suspect the problem is with this expression because i tested and it doesn't return anything:
$this->b[$the_key]['Y']

if i set $output to $the_key in the else statement i get and integer. if i set it to var_dump($this->b[$the_key]['Y']) i get NULL while i should get a string

A: The code is fine. The problem was that is $c was not an integer but an array.

118.60(7)(ag) (ag) If a participating private school learns that an accrediting organization with which the private school is maintaining accreditation, as required under par. (ad), is a disqualified organization, the private school shall immediately notify the department in writing of this fact and shall obtain accreditation from an accrediting entity no later than 3 years from the date on which the private school learned that the accrediting organization is a disqualified organization.
118.60(7)(am) (am)
118.60(7)(am)1m.1m. In this paragraph, "eligible education expenses" means all direct and indirect costs associated with a private school's educational programming for pupils enrolled in grades kindergarten to 12 that are reasonable for the private school to achieve its educational purposes, as determined by the governing body of the private school in a written policy and tested by an independent auditor. "Eligible education expenses" include expenses related to management, insurance, transportation, extracurricular programming and activities, facility and equipment costs, development expenses, and programming that provides child care services before school, after school, or both before and after school. A cost is not an "eligible education expense" if an independent auditor determines, after testing, that the cost is not a cost associated with the private school's educational programming for pupils enrolled in grades kindergarten to 12 that is reasonable for the private school to achieve its educational purposes, as determined by the governing body of the private school in a written policy.
118.60(7)(am)2m. 2m. Each private school participating in the program under this section is subject to uniform financial accounting standards established by the department. Annually by October 15 following a school year in which a private school participated in the program under this section, the private school shall submit to the department all of the following:
118.60(7)(am)2m.a. a. An independent financial audit of the private school conducted by an independent certified public accountant, accompanied by the auditor's statement that the report is free of material misstatements and fairly presents the private school's eligible education expenses, and beginning in the 2nd school year a private school participates in the program under this section, a copy of a management letter prepared by the auditor. If the private school annually received a total of at least $100,000 under this section and ss. 115.7915 and 119.23 in any school year, the audit shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles with allowable modifications for long-term fixed assets. If the private school has not annually received a total of at least $100,000 under this section and ss. 115.7915 and 119.23 in any school year, the audit shall be prepared as prescribed by the department by rule. The audit shall include a calculation of the private school's net eligible education expenses and a calculation of the balance of the private school's fund for future eligible education expenses. The auditor shall conduct his or her audit, including determining sample sizes and evaluating financial viability, in accordance with the auditing standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The department may not require an auditor to comply with standards that exceed the scope of the standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. If a private school participating in a program under this section is part of an organization and the private school and the organization share assets, liabilities, or eligible education expenses, the private school may submit an audit of the private school or of the organization of which it is a part. If a private school that is part of an organization with which it shares assets, liabilities, or eligible education expenses submits an audit of only the private school, the independent auditor shall use his or her professional judgment to allocate any shared assets, liabilities, and eligible education expenses between the organization and the private school. If a private school participating in the program under this section also accepts pupils under s. 115.7915 or 119.23, the private school may submit one comprehensive financial audit to satisfy the requirements of this subdivision and ss. 115.7915 (6) (e) and 119.23 (7) (am) 2m., whichever are applicable. The private school shall include in the comprehensive financial audit the information specified under s. 119.23 (7) (am) 2m.
118.60(7)(am)2m.b. b. Evidence of sound fiscal and internal control practices, as prescribed by the department by rule. An independent auditor engaged to evaluate the private school's fiscal and internal control practices shall conduct his or her evaluation, including determining sample sizes, in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The independent auditor engaged to evaluate the private school's fiscal and internal control practice shall also review any concerns raised in the private school's management letter submitted under subd. 2m. a. The fact that a private school reports a negative reserve balance alone is not evidence that the private school does not have the financial ability to continue operating or that the private school does not follow sound fiscal and internal control practices.
118.60(7)(am)2m.c. c. If an independent auditor engaged to evaluate the private school's fiscal and internal control practice determines that the governing body of the private school has not taken reasonable actions to remedy any concerns raised in the management letter submitted under subd. 2m. a. in the previous school year, a report prepared by the independent auditor that includes the auditor's findings related to the governing body's actions to remedy any concerns raised in the management letter for the previous school year.
118.60(7)(am)3. 3.
118.60(7)(am)3.a.a. By no later than February 15 or 120 days after the date on which the audit under subd. 2m. a. is received by the department, whichever is later, the department shall notify a private school participating in the program under this section whether or not additional information is required for the department to complete its review of the audit. Subject to subd. 3. b., the department may request that an auditor provide additional information if the request is related to the department reviewing the audit. The department shall determine whether a private school participating in the program under this section has provided the information and met the requirements required under subd. 2m. a. by April 1.
118.60(7)(am)3.b. b. Before April 1, the department may contact the auditor who prepared the audit under subd. 2m. a. only regarding matters that may impact the private school's financial statement by an amount that is greater than 1 percent of the total amount the private school received under this section for the previous school year and any items or information the department determines are missing from the audit.
118.60(7)(am)3.c. c. Notwithstanding subd. 3. a. and b., the department may communicate with an auditor as necessary for the purpose of assessing the financial viability of a private school participating in the program under this section.

Q: Show that $\frac{1}{(n+1)!}(1+\frac{1}{(n+1)}+\frac{1}{(n+1)^2}+\frac{1}{(n+1)^3}+\cdots)=\frac{1}{n!n}$ Show that $\frac{1}{(n+1)!}(1+\frac{1}{(n+1)}+\frac{1}{(n+1)^2}+\frac{1}{(n+1)^3}+\cdots)=\frac{1}{n!n}$, (here $n$ is a natural number)
Maybe easy, but I cannot see it.
Thanks in advance!
Alexander

A: Hint:
$$\sum_{k=0}^\infty \left(\frac1{n+1}\right)^k=\frac1{1-\frac1{n+1}}\ldots$$

A: Since $$1+x+x^2+\cdots=\frac1{1-x}$$
Therefore,
$$1+\frac1{n+1}+\frac1{(n+1)^2}+\cdots=\frac1{1-\frac1{n+1}}=\frac1{\frac{n+1-1}{n+1}}=\frac{n+1}{n}$$
Now,
$$\frac1{(n+1)!}\cdot(1+\frac1{n+1}+\frac1{(n+1)^2}+\cdots)=\frac1{(n+1)!}\cdot\frac{n+1}{n}=\frac1{n!n}$$

Yasss! Dirk Gently, Holistic Detective Agency is finally back! I've been waiting for Season 2 on Hulu. I enjoyed the original BritVersion and this reboot is pretty good. Glad I noticed the new episodes today. It was a great break after today's World Cup Games (still shocked about Messi). I like the quirky humor and the supernatural theme in the episodes. The show also appeals to my morbid sense of humor. Seasons 1 and 2 are now on Hulu, so enjoy. By the time you read this, I will have binge-watched half the episodes.

Laurelwood Adds to IPA line
I was surprised to find out a little while back that Laurelwood would soon be unable to keep its very popular Workhorse IPA flowing. The reason, I was told, is that they do not have enough hops to brew the beer until the new harvest comes in.
Workhorse, for the unaware, leans heavily on five hop varieties: Simcoe, Amarillo, Cascade, Nugget and Columbus. It's a borderline imperial IPA at 7.5 ABV, with a terrific balance of aroma, flavor and bitterness.
Logo for the new IPA
To fill the coming void, Laurelwood has launched a new IPA called Gearhead. (There are also messing around with an A-Z program, which I won't cover here.) Gearhead will evidently join the brewery's list of staple beers. It's on tap in the brewpubs and will soon be available by the bottle in area stores and bottle shops.
Gearhead is a decent beer, but it definitely lacks the floral and citrus essence of Workhorse. Although it is by no means a session beer, the ABV is lower at 6.5 percent. This is more along the lines of a standard IPA.
Laurelwood's owner, Mike De Kalb, told me via email that they intend to bring Workhorse back as soon as the appropriate hops are available. He also said he isn't quite sure how they will categorize it. Because Workhorse is "on the cusp" (DeKalb's words) of being an imperial IPA, there's a chance that's how they will position it in their line.
I wonder. Could a hops shortage really cause something so smart to happen? In my mind, positioning Workhorse as an imperial IPA is a no brainer. Laurelwood has a great stable of beers, of which Workhorse is one. But Workhorse is a wee bit heavy to be the only IPA on their board.
Adding Gearhead to the mix is a wise move because it will allow them to very soon market a near-light IPA (Gearhead) and a big IPA (Workhorse). Many brewpubs have more than one IPA...it makes sense in this market to have more than one.
Laurelwood has made a lot of smart business moves over the years. The apparent plan to re-position Workhorse is just one more.

Idris Elba has revealed plans for a one-off follow-up to his hit BBC crime drama Luther.
Speaking to the Radio Times the British star of The Wire and Prometheus spoke of his love of the character John Luther and his "desperation" to reprise the role.
"I am desperately trying to make that happen," he says when asked about a potential fourth series. "I think we're gonna probably do one more incarnation in TV. But not a season – a one-off.
"There's a story idea but no script yet. But we're gunning to do it at the end of this year. There's a lot of pressure from everyone to make it, so we're gonna do it."
Luther creator Neil Cross previously rubbished reports that a fourth season was in the offing.
Elba starred in three series of three series between 2010 and 2013, with 14 episodes airing in total.
"That was a monumental moment for us, and I put my heart and soul into it. I love John Luther. I played John at a very dark time in my life. And I so love John because I get to exorcise; it's so cathartic, it's therapy."

Hair extensions before and after are the best way to add length or color to your hair. Hair extensions care is not a very difficult task. Extensions can come in a variety of colors to blend well with the natural hair. There are different types of hair extensions depending on the material they are made of and the method through which they are attached to the hair.
When selecting hair extensions you want to know if you desire human hair or Synthetic hair. Whatever type you choose, you definitely want to make sure it matches your hair color to avoid a tacky, cheap look. If you do not find an exact match, go with the next darkest color; never go lighter than your natural hair. If you want an exact match to your extension, dye your natural hair; never dye the extension, because it can damage the extensions by making it frizzy, dull and difficult to manage. You can have your extension custom matched to your natural hair by a professional hair stylist.
Hair extensions can be made out of natural human hair or synthetic fibers. The natural human hair extensions are of a higher quality and blend better with the rest of the hair. The hair extensions also differentiate themselves through the method of application.
Hair extensions tend to be hydrophilic because of the damage resulting from the processing done to them. And when they are wet they tend to swell, tangle and hard to manage. But pre-shampoo is a mild formulation that adds natural oils back to the extension. And do not to forget to choose low detergent shampoo.
Use a daily conditioner to keep extensions looking healthy and shiny. It could enhance body and extends the life of the extensions.
Deep Conditioner; Every once a week deep conditioner is necessary, it ensures the hair extension gets the maximum lubrication without adding excess oils or emollients that can weigh hair down and leave it looking dull and lifeless. Some products now is great for repairing extensions that have been damaged by processes like flat ironing and hair coloring.
Revitalizing Treatment; Because many extensions are dyed, they contain peroxides. Over time, these peroxides enhance the oxidizing effects of the sun. A good revitalizing maintenance spray will neutralize the peroxides and stop sun fading and dullness. The hair ends are one of the first places damage manifests in split ends, brittleness and breakage.
Application of hair extensions is quite easy, if you first understand the hair extension basics. Choose an hair extension of the length, style and color that you want and depending on that, you can choose the hair extension technique. Make sure you equip yourself well with all the necessary hair extension supplies, before you begin applying. Mentioned below are the different hair extension techniques that will serve as your hair extension guide.
People choose to get hair extensions before and after for many different reasons; however one of the main reasons is convenience. and for the maintenance actually just the same with natural hair, besides that, follow your hair stylists advice on before and aftercare for hair extensions, the life of your extended hair style can last up to six months. The hair extensions before and after care depends on your hair type and what kind of extensions you are having put into your hair. The care you provide of your hair extensions will determine the quality and life of your desired style. Preparing and maintaining your hair properly for hair extensions will prevent dry scalp, hair breakage and stimulate hair growth. There are products available for hair extensions care in order to prevent them from falling out, matting or tangling. Extensions need proper care depending on what they are made of and how they are applied.

Now your testing my memory will need to dig to find it, pretty sure it wasn't the Keynote at WWDC but around that time. So it was either, best guess, WWDC Talk Show edition or State of Platform at WWDC.
It jumped out at me because it seemed like an Apple Exec trying his hand at a Steve Jobs style offhand dismissal that later turns out to be a teaser.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I doubt there are a lot of Pros using a 12" MacBook today. I'd be very surprised if that was the case.
Allow me to (perhaps) correct you: you're (at least partially) wrong.
Of course this depends on what you mean by "pros," and by what you imagine their workflow to be. If "Pro" only applies to people who tax processors with high-intensity graphic card/CPU sucking applications 24/7, then you'd be completely right.
But what about a novelist who makes a living writing books? Do they need a MacBook Pro, or would a MacBook run Scrivener or Final Draft (et al) every bit as well, and be a equal or better choice for portability/battery life? An bookkeeper can run Quicken (et al) exactly the same on the low-end MacBook as on the maxed out MBP, but are they not "pros"?
Or take another real-world example: a graphic designer who mostly runs InDesign or Photoshop (CC). They might choose a deskop model for their 9-5 work, but desire a small portable for their light-duty off-time. Does that person stop being a "pro" when they switch to an iPad with keyboard after work?
I'm certainly not against clear delineation between Intel-powered Macs and future ARM-powered ones -- assuming there's any perceptible difference in performance by the time they actually get here -- but just saying "Pros use Intel, consumers use ARM" is drawing sharp lines that, in real life, are quite blurry.
No they won't. No need at all... Quite the opposite actually.
I think Apple has already targeted that market with their iPad. Adding a MacBook would be an expensive redundancy. But, to fully serve that market, they still need to add a cursor to the iPad.
The little round, stinky hole on the bottom.
All good points that I agree with. Strongly agree with.
I am thinking that the problem is mostly with the word "Pro". Apple has made it to mean users demanding very high performance and, in the Mac line, that has devolved to mean mostly graphics applications.
Actually the non-touch version didn't receive any spec bumps, maybe that'll mark the end of it.
You're right, not all Pros need the horsepower and neither do all Pro apps, especially corporate in-house apps. Apple have a broader dilemma; those who do need to use Windows often use Boot Camp at which point Apple have lost their brand/desktop to MS. Collaborating with MS they could officially support Windows to provide Windows app virtualisation preserving the macOS desktop and using x86/64 emulation which should be adequate for both Windows/Intel & macOS/Intel apps whilst the latter are being converted.

LPGA's Amy Yang birdies every hole on the back nine, shoots 27
Lynn Marriott and Pia Nilsson's Vision54 of which Annika Sorenstam is a disciple is based on the principle that it's possible to birdie every hole and shoot 54. LPGA player Amy Yang got it half right in the final round of the LPGA KEB Hana Bank Championship in Incheon, South Korea, on Sunday.
Yang birdied all nine holes on the back nine, 27 strokes in all, in shooting a final-round 62 that enabled her to tie for fourth. She equaled Beth Daniel's LPGA record for consecutive birdies.
"I never thought about it. Never thought about it," Yang said. "I don't know what just happened. I mean, if it can be a history, so honored.
"I made a couple of birdies to start the day but after a bogey [on the sixth hole], I figured this would be just another ordinary day. Then I started hitting the ball much better on the back nine and making every putt. I don't think there was any one particular turning point. I just kept on hitting the ball and making putts. This is absolutely incredible."


This week, we celebrated and honored the incredible creativity in sales and marketing for the hospitality industry at the 62nd Annual HSMAI Adrian Awards Gala.
Our MMGY Global family received a total of 32 awards, including two Platinum awards and 14 gold awards. Congratulations to our partners for receiving this recognition.


Codruța Cernea (interviewed) enjoyed an artist residency in Düsseldorf, from February until March 2016, that inspired her to create a new series of paintings highlighting the border where abstraction meets figurative. The works were part of the solo show NO OTHER TIME, NO OTHER PLACE, on view at Atelier am Eck from March 10th to 20th, curator Dr. Katja Schlenker.
The minimal arrangement of elements, with a subtle human presence, carefully camouflaged into the landscape, hides the identity of the protagonist to mark the moment of encounter, its transiency and intensity, as well as the astonishment of an unexpected discovery. In addition, "there is also the need for clarity, structure, the love of colour and visual games resulted from playing with space and depth perception".
Codruța Cernea is the 10th Romanian artist to take part in the residency program, which was possible with the support of Kulturamt Landeshauptstadt Düsseldorf and the "Brancovan Palaces" Cultural Center, Mogoșoaia. Another exhibition with the works will take place in April 2016, at the Cultural Center, Mogoșoaia.

My boys and I was working on some out door props to scare. They have such fun decorating for Halloween and making items. This one is from the skull head and skeleton hand from Dollar Tree. We used a pool noodle and wire clothes hanger. The cloth was some old material we ragged the bottom. Glue glue & string to hang it.
Simple, we ran the clothes hang through the pool noodle and stuck the hanging in the holes on the hands. securing in place with clear tape. Hot glue the material to skull and material to pool noodle and add the head. String up and done. Total cost under $5.
Great idea! I almost bought one of these but they were so expensive! So making one for next year!

What is Donald Trump's history with lebron james?
What is something that needs to be said about Lebron James?
LeBron James is, without a doubt in anyone's mind, one of the greatest players to ever step on the hardwood. With a chiseled physique and feline quickness. His powerful body and ability to drive to the basket is unprecedented by any player, even Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest player of all time. His basketball IQ and his ability to score from everywhere is frightening for opposing defenses. He has the passing ability of Magic Johnson and the human freight train power with a high leaping ability puts him in the conversation as one of the best athletes of all time.
LeBron James is debatably the greatest ever basketball players. Recently, James has expanded his brand beyond the court. This includes his 'I Promise' School and his sponsorships.
In 2018 opened a joint project called the 'I Promise' school between the Lebron James Family Foundation and Akron Public Schools. Currently the school is for third and fourth graders, but James has bigger plans. By the year 2022 the 'I Promise' school will be for children from 1st to 8th grade.
James grew up with a rough background and hopes to give underprivileged kids the opportunities he never got to have when he was in school. The schools are meant for at-risk kids, to give them a chance at a safer life with more opportunities.
What LeBron's school offers are new backpacks, books, t-shirts, school supplies, bikes, helmets and, most importantly, two healthy meals a day. The greatest part is that all of these benefits are free.
LeBron's school offers free tuition to the University of Akron for each student who graduates his school. There are not many schools that have free tuition for all students. James' use of his extraordinary wealth is an honorable deed that many other athletes attempt to emulate.
LeBron's school has been equated to Michael Scott's promise to Scott's Tots, a reference to the T.V. show The Office. In the episode Scott's Tots, Michael Scott makes a promise to young student's that he would pay their college tuition. By the time the students grow up Scott is not wealthy enough to pay their tuition, and has to break his promise. While this funny episode of The Office might be a fun comparison, LeBron James has a nearly endless amount of funds and hopefully can deliver on his promise.
If you are going to play against LeBron, you have to understand how he plays. In his 15-year and counting career, he has mostly been a player who drives to the basket. Although, there has been an improvement on his jump shot. Here are some things I would do against LeBron.
I would stay in the paint and force him to make jump shots because it is the lesser of two evils. Making him make jumpers rather than driving to the basket and dunking it would be my main defensive strategy.
On the offensive end, I would drive to the basket, but knowing he would try to block my shot. James is much taller than most players, allowing him to block with relative ease. Pump fakes could open up a lane for a secondary move, which would likely be necessary to beat James. Another option on the offensive end is to start shooting jumpers from the perimeter. With success, James would have to respect the outside shot. This would open up a chance to drive and put up floaters and hook shots.
Donald Trump is the President of the United States. His rhetoric and views have been known to rub some people the wrong way. LeBron James, one of the greatest athletes in the world and possibly the greatest basketball player of all time has had issues with the president's rhetoric.
President Trump has had strong opinions about James too. Trump has tweeted about James many times. Back in 2012 they were positive tweets about LeBron's great skill. However, once James took a bit of a stand against Trump, the president began targeting James as he has done with many other who speak out.
LeBron James is one of the best players to ever play the game of basketball. His strength, quickness, size and athleticism makes him one of the hardest players to defend. He is a four-time MVP and three-time NBA champion.
With all great athletes, they are criticized with everything they do and LeBron is no different. However, LeBron might be the most criticized basketball in the history of the sport. Every mistake and loss is analyzed at a microscopic level. Since he is believed to be the best basketball player ever, any mistakes bring his legacy into question.
In the summer of 2010, after the Cleveland Cavaliers were eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals by the Boston Celtics, LeBron made a decision to switch teams to the Miami Heat to play with fellow stars, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. It was not just his decision to leave the only franchise he ever knew, but also, it was the way he did it. LeBron put on an hour-long, ""The Decision"" on ESPN. After his decision, he was highly criticized for joining two other stars. James would later return to the Cavaliers, and win a championship in 2016. After the 2018 season, James left Cleveland a second time to go play for the Lakers.
In the 2011 NBA Finals, the Miami Heat were up two games to one, but lost four games to two to the Dallas Mavericks. The star-studded and favored Heat were outplayed by the Mavericks. LeBron shouldered much of the blame as he didn't play up to his superstar status in the last few games. In game four, he had eight points on 3-of-11 from the field, seven assists and nine rebounds. In game five, LeBron had only 17 points on 8-of-19 shooting from the field.
Joining the NBA straight from St. Vincent St. Mary High School in 2003, he is now entering his 17th season. He is listed as 6'8" tall and weighs 250 lbs. He is considered a small forward.
James' ability to play any of the five positions truly makes him so good. He can dribble, assist, shoot, dunk, and stretch the floor on offense. Conversely, James can block, steal, rebound, switch players and defend anyone on the court. This makes him versatile and better than his competition.
Health is also a big factor in this discussion. LeBron has played relatively injury-free for his entire career. Being able to endure pain and punishment from opponents is one attribute fans and media cannot quantify in numbers. Being on the court is essential to victory and James rarely misses games.
His conditioning is top-notch and a big reason why he's been able to last so long in the league. No other player resembles his physical attributes. At 33 years old, there is no signs of James slowing down. He will continue to be an All-Star player for the remainder of his career and can certainly play at a high level for another four to five seasons. James hopes to bring championships home to the Lakers, and will work with newly acquired Anthony Davis to do so.
