The film adaptation of Leslye Headland's Bachelorette, which the playwright wrote and directed, succeeds in its own ways. It's just as biting and darkly funny as the play (which ran at Second Stage a few summers ago). Because there's no concern for scene changes, it takes the story and characters to places that a play can't. The three bridesmaids collective journey is essentially the same - they just take different detours here.
I was a little disappointed that the movie tagged on a bit of a tidy, Hollywood ending. My preferred ending happened about seven minutes earlier, serving as a cheeky punctuation mark and driving home Headland's gluttony theme. (Remember that the play Bachelorette is part of her seven deadly sins cycle. The "greed" play, Assistance, was satisfyingly sardonic.) Still, it is rip-roaringly funny with spot on performances from the terrific ensemble cast.
A quick rundown of the plot: Regan (Kirsten Dunst), Katie (Isla Fisher), Gena (Lizzy Caplan) and Becky (Rebel Wilson) have been best friends since high school. (They graduated in '99.) Becky, whose nickname in high school was Pig Face (on account of her "homely" looks and plumper figure), is the first to get married. The movie opens with her telling Regan, the maid of honor, the news, and the riot that ensues is the bachelorette party gone wild.
Isla Fisher is crazy silly as party girl Katie; James Marsden plays against type and is oddly seductive as the aggressive and douchey Trevor; Rebel Wilson holds it together as the bride to be, Becky; Kyle Bornheimer elicits sympathy as Joe, the nerdy guy who got cool; Lizzy Caplan and Adam Scott (who were so great together on Party Down) sizzle as old flames Gena and Clyde; and Kirsten Dunst reminds us she's still here, and she's good. She is pitch perfect as the worst best maid of honor, Regan (yes, as in King Lear's daughter).
Headland's Regan is the most strongly developed character, but Headland lets Gena have all the fun, pontificating on myriad concerns of varying import, like when she explains to Katie the two different kind of guys and the way they have sex, typified by Brian Krakow and Jordan Catalano from My So-Called Life. (There are tons of pop culture references, mostly to beloved (for whatever reason, with or without irony) anachronisms of the mid- to late-nineties.
Since I didn't love Bridesmaids, I suppose my telling you, dear readers, that Bachelorette is better than that movie doesn't mean much. But it is. It's smarter, sharper and wittier. It's raucous and feisty, and the characters, though hardly admirable, are thoroughly fascinating. And watching Kirsten Dunst almost lick a New York City sidewalk is kind of boss.
Bachelorette is currently available through most cable companies' On Demand services, and will be released in movie theaters on September 7.

1.) My Single-Member LLC receives income in the form of checks from other businesses.
2.) These checks are all made out to my LLC.
3.) Every week, I deposit a stack of these checks into my LLC Business Account via the ATM.
Question: To maintain the integrity of my LLC, to avoid appearance of commingling, what should I do to fix this?
A one time check deposit error isn't likely to open you to problems of piercing the corporate veil. I suggest you simply have the LLC give you a check made out to you personally and have the LLC records reflect that it is a return of funds that were mistakenly deposited to the LLC.
Bank manager offered to do a paperless Internal "account-to-account" transfer of the $80.00, with a memo "mistake deposit."
1.) Have bank issue Official Cashiers Check from my LLC to my Personal for the $80.00.
2.) On the Cashiers Check, I handwrite "Deposit Error" in the Memo Field.
3.) I photograph the Cashiers Check and attach a typed Paragraph "this-is-exactly-what-happened Event Log."
4.) I NOTARIZE this new document (Photograph + Event Log) to memorialize how I did my best to fix the mistake.
5.) Immediately deposit that Cashier's Check into my Personal account.
6.) Save the Notarized documents, deposit receipts, etc., forever.
I know this is a small error, but I just want to make it right. The above 6 steps should be very much worth the 15 minutes of time it will take.
Unless you see something wrong?
Depending on the type of customer he is. It could also be free. But for $80 I would go the easy route.
That should be all you need, so long as the electronic "paper" trail is there to show what happened.
Personally I think that's overkill. But if it makes you feel better, there is no harm in it.
Serious overkill as far as I am concerned.


Description: The 4G string provides maximum tension and legendary power, spin, and comfort. To obtain Maximum Tension Maintenance, the molecular chains making up 4G are strategically aligned in a parallel fashion. This minimizes entanglement to ensure less creep. 4G is made from Luxilon's famous poly-ether-ether (ALU Power) and doped with nucleates. The nucleates help to maintain the suppleness of the string and increase its strength.
Description: The 4G Rough 125 is a textured version of 4G for increased ball bite with dented surface to provide more string flex for a slightly softer and more forgiving feel. The proprietary blend of materials and production processes adds comfort while ensuring maximum tension maintenance, up to 30% greater.
Description: Luxilon introduces a softer version of 4G. Like the original version, 4G Soft offers remarkable tension maintenance, scoring well above average in our Tennis Warehouse University String Lab. Although it is softer than the original 4G, this string is still firm and best suited to intermediate and advanced players who make their own power. The exceptional control on full swings lends itself to fast swing speeds and very easy access to spin. This is a great option for big hitters who want control, spin and durability along with increased tension maintenance.

The 8th AIWF Conference 'Young Arab Women Leaders: The Voice of the Future'
Event Report:
Following on from the success of the Young Arab Women Leaders: The Voice of the Future conferences in Amman, Beirut and Dubai in 2012, Palestine in 2013, London in 2011 and 2014, and Doha in 2015, the Arab International Women's Forum was proud to hold its first ever Young Arab Women Leaders Conference in Kuwait on Thursday 20 October 2016, with the valued support of the Ministry of State for Youth Affairs, in continued partnership with AIWF Global Partner and YAWL Conference Partner PwC, and with the support of local partner Ibtkar Strategic Consulting.

Kuwaiti women have long been prominent in business and there are many successful, motivated, talented and truly inspirational businesswomen in the country from whom the next generation of Kuwaiti women leaders can draw valuable inspiration and insight. The Government, through specialised departments and initiatives, plays a leading role in facilitating training and incentives for young women to continue with their education, enter or remain in the labour market and reach their leadership potential. We are indeed proud to open this conference today with the valued support of Kuwait's leading advocate and incubator for youth development, the Ministry of State for Youth Affairs, whose involvement and endorsement of youth-led initiatives has provided a critical platform for the emergence of a vibrant entrepreneurial and private enterprise-led economy in Kuwait."

East Cowta's boys basketball team, coached by Royal Maxwell (center), is 19-1 and ranked No. 3 in Class AAAAAAA after victories over state-powers Wheeler and Pebblebrook. East Coweta has not made the state playoffs since 2005 nor won a state-playoff game since 1964.
The magical season of East Coweta's boys basketball team got even better again this week.
East Coweta has not won a state-playoff game since 1964, or even made the state tournament since 2004.
In the Pebblebrook game, East Coweta overcame a six-point deficit in the fourth quarter. Christopher Youngblood scored 20 points on 7-of-12 shooting. He pulled 10 rebounds. Brandon Stroud, a 6-4 guard and four-star recruit, had 15 points and 12 rebounds.
A week ago, East Coweta upset then-No. 3 Wheeler 81-78 when Fernandez Jones scored 26 points.
It's been a remarkable turnaround for the program. In coach Royal Maxwell's first three seasons, his teams finished 5-22, 14-12 and 13-13. This is season four.
Maxwell, who at 6 feet, 8 inches, is taller than all of his starters, is an Alabama native who played at Grambling and Jackson State.
Asked what had been the catalyst for the turnaround, Maxwell pointed to his current and former assistants. Associate head coach Fredrick Sippial is a childhood friend of Maxwell's and takes on much of the in-game and practice duties. Chris Seldon is responsible for developing the feeder program.
Former assistants include Xavier Trice, now head girls basketball coach at Hughes; Ty Townsend, head boys coach at Spalding; Qwesi Lovett, associate head coach at Spalding; and Derrick Stroud, who now runs a prominent summer basketball organization.
The current road gets no easier. East Coweta, ranked No. 3, travels to No. 10 Westlake on Friday night and to No. 6 Wheeler on Saturday night.
McEachern, the No. 1 boys team in Class AAAAAAA, defeated previously unbeaten Springfield Catholic in the quarterfinals of the Bass Pro Tournament of Champions in Springfield, Mo., on Thursday. McEachern will play Shadow Mountain in Friday night's semifinals. Shadow Mountain (17-1) is No. 12 nationally in the MaxPreps' Xcellent 25 and No. 1 overall in Arizona. The tournament features five nationally ranked teams and could boost McEachern's hopes of a national title. McEachern is ranked No. 1 by Blue Star Media and No. 2 by four other national media outlets.
Westlake's girls, ranked No. 1 in Class AAAAAAA, had been scheduled to travel to New York this weekend for a showcase tournament. That's not happening. Instead, the Lions got up a last-minute game with Buford – the No. 1 team and defending champion in Georgia's AAAAA. Buford is 16-1, its only loss to Norcross before Christmas. Buford has won six state titles since 2009, including the last two in AAAAA. Westlake (17-0) won its first state title in 2018.
Meadowcreek had won only five games ever in the state tournament until last season, when the Mustangs won five straight that included a shocking upset of nationally ranked Norcrcoss for the title. The Cinderella story is not over. Meadowcreek still has a trio of senior guards that can match any in the state. They are Jalen Benjamin (averaging 18 points and four assists; signed with UAB), shooting guard Jamir Chaplin (14 points, six rebounds, signed with South Florida) and Damian Dunn (13 points, seven rebounds, signed with Temple). The Mustangs' game against Class A power Greenforest is one of the better ones Monday in the Dream Challenge, a 12-game M.L. King Jr. Day event. Several other good AAAAAAA teams are in it, including No. 4 Grayson, Berkmar, Campbell and Shiloh. Here are a couple of MLK Day tournaments with several AAAAAAA boys teams.

The Grudge Reboot
Halloween Kills Full Trailer Lands Online
By Spencer Perry - June 25, 2021 05:31 am EDT
With just a few months to go until Halloween, Universal Pictures and Blumhouse are getting into the spirit with the first official trailer for Halloween Kills, the upcoming sequel to 2018's Halloween. The new film picks up after David Gordon Green's 40-years-later sequel, which only acknowledged the events of John Carpenter's 1978 horror film and ignored all the other sequels in the series. Franchise star Jamie Lee Curties returns once again to lead the cast, starring as Laurie Strode once again. Other co-stars from the original film will also return including Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace, Nancy Stephens as Nurse Marion, and Charles Cyphers as Haddonfield sheriff Leigh Brackett.
"The next one involves when you take that [the 2018 Halloween] was about Laurie's trauma, right? It was focused on Laurie Strode, but there are a lot of other people that had the result of Michael Myers in 1978," Curtis previously of the film to SiriusXM's Jess Cagle. "And we brought back all of those people. So Kyle Richards, who played the little girl Lindsey came back, we have the character of Tommy where there are other characters, Marion, the nurse, all of the people that suffered the trauma and the Halloween Kills movie is about a mob."
She continued, "So what I will tell you is that what we were seeing around the country of the power of the rage of voices, big groups of people coming together enraged at the set of circumstances, that's what the movie is. The movie is about a mob."
"It's the quintessential slasher film," Carpenter previously shared with the Fantasia Film Festival. "It is so intense … oh, my God … it even stuns me how incredible it is. [Director] David [Gordon Green] just did a great job. Can't wait to have you see it."
Though Green returns to direct the film, Carpenter serves as an executive producer and develop the score once again.
Other stars set to appear in the film include Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy Doyle, playing the grown-up version of the kid Curtis' Laurie was babysitting in the original Halloween, and Robert Longstreet as Lonnie Elam, one of the young bullies from the first movie. Judy Greer returns as Karen Nelson, Laurie's daughter, with Andi Matichak reprising her part as Allyson, Laurie's grandmother.
Halloween Kills hits theaters on October 15th with another film, Halloween Ends, a new finale for the series, scheduled to hit theaters on October 14, 2022.

All through our atmosphere water vapor is present as an invisible gas. Through evaporation from the oceans about 90% of this water vapor joins the earth's atmosphere. As the ocean waters get heat from the sun, a part of the water transforms from a liquid to a gas and in the warm water that gas rises.
While the sun heats the water, more rapid movement of the water molecules starts. A number of these rapidly moving molecules succeed in detaching themselves of the water below and as water vapor they run away.
But the capacity of air to hold water vapor is not unlimited. On the air temperature depend how much it can hold. For warmer air the capacity to hold water vapor is more. As the limit it reaches no more water vapor it can hold, that is, it is saturated, or the saturation point it has reached. Beyond this stage, the water vapor will start coming back to liquid form through condensation.
When the water vapor starts condensing that very temperature point is known as the dewpoint here. For the condensation process dirty air formation above ground level is the need really. Particles like dust, salt, and suspended pollutants fill in the atmosphere we live in. As condensation nuclei these materials work since for the water vapor molecules to clump around they find a role.
Condensation just above the ground is behind fog formation. Clouds are produced by condensation at higher levels. Since the process for each is absolutely identical with the other, it is quite logical to feel that fog is nothing but a cloud on the ground level.
When condensation takes place above ground level clouds are formed. Water vapor condenses into water droplets when the surrounding air temperature is above freezing point. However water may sublimate or change directly into ice crystals when air temperature below freezing point prevails. Sometimes in a supercooled state below freezing the water vapor can remain.
Since generally with altitude temperature decreases, high level clouds have tendency to form into ice crystal clouds while low level clouds may become water droplet clouds, often a combination comes of middle level clouds. Hundreds of millions of droplets and/or ice crystals join to produce clouds. On a number of factors depends the cloud type.
For the rise of the air masses three processes work. Of those convection is the first. As the sun heats the surfaces the air above the surfaces starts rising since that air too gets heated. Soil, sand and pavement are some of the surfaces that heat up faster because of their efficiency in the matter. Everywhere these warm bodies of air begin to rise, they ultimately reach the dewpoint and cloud formation is the result.
The rise of air is also possible when collision of fronts occur. Cloud formation takes place if in the warm air enough moisture is present.
Lifting of air is also possible when it faces mountain ranges and other geographic features. Further, clouds will form if enough moisture is present in the lifted air. Rare cloud shapes are often resulted from orographic lifting.
The rise of an air mass continues so long as in respect of the surrounding air it is warmer. The conditions do not get stability still the rise continues. However, with equilibrium stable conditions are quickly reached. Normally, the conditions are unstable if over warm air is present cold air in the upper atmosphere. When warm air is over cold air, stable conditions result generally.
Water Vapor In The Atmosphere Affects Climate Changes 9 of 10 on the basis of 1146 Review.

Quote: I found this little statement. No sources listed, unfortunately.
Quote: The staple diet of the legionary was bread, and each ten-man squad of a legion ground its own wheat to flour, then baked bread at its tent – there was no mess hall in a Roman camp.
Stephen Dando-Collins, Mark Antony's Heroes
"...each ten-man squad of a legion ... " Really? hock:
It's no surprise you did not find any source citation for that assertion. I doubt very much that Mr. Dando-Collins could produce one, even if his life depended upon it. :-? :mad:

Ah so ...
Thank you for the correction Robert.
Is it possible that Vegetius was speaking of a Army TO&E for his own time period rather than that of the Republic or Principate?
The main point of the passage, that the legionaries cooked their own meals, seems well established, but mention of a ten-man 'squad' seems odd given all we know about the post-Marian Legions which are surely the object under discussion in a book titled: Mark Antony's Heroes.
Anyway, just struck me as odd. Thanks again.
The more I read about ancient Rome the more I realize that I need to read more.

Bread ovens were located around the ramparts and in the legionary fortress at Chester there were also some buildings built nearby into the rampart. They were large enough to accommodate approximately 40 men. It is possible half a century would eat their rations there. Equally food may have been prepared elsewhere and then taken back to the barracks after all 'takeaways' were a normal feature of everyday Roman city life.

Just to confuse the issue, Varro states that the proper number of men in a century is one hundred (de ling. lat., 5.88), which could give ten contubernia of ten men each. Is he speaking theoretically or from his own military experience, having served with Pompey in Spain against Sertorius and in the Civil War?

Hi Narukami,
Not meant as a correction.. :wink:
Quote: Is it possible that Vegetius was speaking of a Army TO&E for his own time period rather than that of the Republic or Principate?
Bit of both perhaps. Leaving dano-Collins aside, I doubt that Vegetius ever saw a Roman army either, he's very much the 'armchair-tactician'. :mrgreen: I can't recall if a centurio ever commanded exactly 100 men, but Vegetius does make a mistake when he invents the 'ducentenarius' (leader of 200), a mistake for the 'ducenarius'. Vegetius may have, likewise, seen the 'decanus' as a leader of a 10-men squad, which he perhaps came across in much earlier treatises.
Quote: Vegetius does make a mistake when he invents the 'ducentenarius' (leader of 200), a mistake for the 'ducenarius'.
Really? Not in Lang, Stelton, Önnerfors or Reeve.
Quote: ... when he invents the 'ducentenarius' (leader of 200), a mistake for the 'ducenarius'.
I think Vegetius' mistake is in assuming that there was a unit of 200 men requiring a commander. From at least the time of Claudius, ducenarius indicated a procurator who was "paid 200" (i.e. 200 sesterces per annum).

Robert Vermaat post=311434 Wrote: ... when he invents the 'ducentenarius' (leader of 200), a mistake for the 'ducenarius'.
You're both right, I was wrong. :? Indeed, Vegetius never used the rank of 'ducentenarius', but he assumed that the ducenarius commanded 200 men. The ducentenarius was a modern assumption as possibly lying behind that thought. A ducentenarius as commander of 200 men did exist, but not in Roman times - Bede is the first to mention it.

What do you make of the military ducentarii that do exist?
EDIT: I mean ducenarii, of course.

Why Nintendo Switch sales figures make interesting reading for Sony and Microsoft
By Jon Porter 2017-07-26T11:34:17.206Z Gaming
On an equal footing
(Image credit: Nintendo)
In a recent financial call, Nintendo has announced that it's sold nearly five million Nintendo Switch consoles since the hardware went on sale at the beginning of March.
For Nintendo this is obviously great news. The Wii U only sold around 13.5 million units over the course of its lifetime, and it took almost a year to reach the 5 million point mark. In contrast, the Switch is expected to sell double that in its first year.
But what's even more interesting is how sales of the Switch compare to the Xbox One and PS4.
A three horse race
In its first year the Xbox One sold around the same amount that the Nintendo Switch is projected to sell, while the PS4 sold around 7 million units in its first 5 months on sale before eventually selling around 14 million in its first year on sale.
It's not surprising that the Nintendo Switch isn't set to outsell the PS4, which has garnered a level of third-party support that has traditionally been absent from Nintendo's consoles.
But what's more interesting is to see how the console is comparing against the Xbox One. Traditionally Sony and Microsoft have traded blows more or less equally in the console space. Their consoles are similarly powered, and they share a lot of the same games, so the playing field is relatively level.
Nintendo meanwhile has tended to either significantly underperform or outperform them. The motion-gimmick led Wii sold far more consoles than the competition from both Microsoft and Sony, while the Wii U sold much less. It's running its own race.
The Nintendo Switch meanwhile, looks to be on an equal sales footing with the Xbox One. It's still a much less powerful machine, but increasingly it's garnering the same kind of support from developers that its competitors have traditionally enjoyed.
We're obviously not at a point yet where the yearly Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed games make their way to a Nintendo console in an equal form, but these sales figures indicate that the sales race is turning from a two into a three horse race.

Leonid Fjodorowitsch Wereschtschagin (; *  in Cherson; † 20. Februar 1977 in Moskau) war ein sowjetischer Physiker, Chemiker und Hochschullehrer.

Leben
Die Beamtenfamilie Wereschtschagin zog nach der Oktoberrevolution nach Odessa um. Wereschtschagin absolvierte dort die Realschule (1924) und danach die zweijährige Chemie-Berufsschule. 1926 begann er das Studium an der physikalisch-mathematischen Fakultät des Odessaer Instituts für Volksbildung, das er jedoch formal nicht abschloss. Trotzdem konnte er die Aspirantur am Ukrainischen Physikalisch-Technischen Institut (UFTI) in Charkow antreten, die er 1932 mit einer Arbeit über die Struktur von Quecksilber(I)-bromid abschloss.

Nach der Aspirantur arbeitete Wereschtschagin im Forschungsbüro der Charkower Turbinen-Generatoren-Fabrik. Er organisierte dort ein Röntgenlaboratorium und untersuchte kupferhaltiges unmagnetisches Gusseisen und Eisen-Nickel-Aluminium-Legierungen. 1934 wurde er vom UFTI zurückgerufen, so dass er dort im Laboratorium für tiefe Temperaturen seine Magnetismusuntersuchungen fortführte.

1939 wurde Wereschtschagin Leiter des Ultrahochdrucklaboratoriums, das im Moskauer Institut für Organische Chemie (IOCh) der Akademie der Wissenschaften der UdSSR (AN-SSSR, seit 1991 Russische Akademie der Wissenschaften (RAN)) auf Initiative  Nikolai Dmitrijewitsch Selinskis eingerichtet worden war. 1940 verteidigte Wereschtschagin seine Kandidat-Dissertation  über die Löslichkeit des Kupfers in Aluminium unter einem Druck von 5000 at. Während des Deutsch-Sowjetischen Krieges arbeitete er im Auftrage der AN-SSSR für das Volkskommissariat für Rüstung.

1949 wurde Wereschtschagin ohne Verteidigung einer Dissertation zum Doktor der technischen Wissenschaften promoviert. 1953 wurde er zum Professor am gerade gegründeten Lehrstuhl für Physik und Chemie unter hohen Drücken der Fakultät für Chemie der Lomonossow-Universität Moskau (MGU) ernannt. 1954 wurde ihm die Lehrstuhlleitung übertragen. Im gleichen Jahr wurde das Ultrahochdrucklaboratorium im IOCh in das Laboratorium für Ultrahochdruckphysik der AN-SSSR umgewandelt, das auf Initiative Wereschtschagins 1958 das von ihm geleitete Institut für Hochdruckphysik der AN-SSSR in Troizk wurde. 1960 wurde er Korrespondierendes Mitglied der AN-SSSR und 1966 Wirkliches Mitglied.

Wereschtschagin leitete die Entwicklung superharter Werkstoffe. Im Mittelpunkt stand die Herstellung der synthetischen Diamanten und des kubischen Bornitrids. Anfang der 1970er Jahre stellte er als einer der weltweit Ersten das Konzept der Metallisierung chemischer Stoffe durch sehr hohe Drücke vor, das erst nach einem Jahrzehnt experimentell bestätigt wurde.

1973 gründete Wereschtschagin am Moskauer Institut für Physik und Technologie (MFTI) den Lehrstuhl für Hochdruckphysik

Wereschtschagin wurde auf dem Moskauer Nowodewitschi-Friedhof begraben.  Das Institut für Hochdruckphysik der RAN trägt jetzt Wereschtschagins Namen.

How Amazon Can Become a Force in Freemium Android Games
Written by charles	 July 8, 2011 July 9, 2011 19 Comments on How Amazon Can Become a Force in Freemium Android Games
After reading a few blog posts, like this one on GigaOm about how difficult the Amazon Appstore has been for developers who have paid applications, I wanted to share a few thoughts I had about why Amazon could eventually become a big distribution source for freemium Android games. In the name of full disclosure, Bionic Panda Games (where I work) did launch on the Amazon Appstore and did encounter a few of the vexing issues that were identified in the article. It's not perfect yet, but I do see a pretty clear path toward relevance.
I think you need three things to really succeed as an app store, based on what we've seen from Apple and Google. And to be clear, success means that you as the app store make money and can drive enough distribution to developers that they too can build a big business on the back of your audience.
Payment-enabled customers + device footprint + well-merchandised store experience = Potential to Win as an App Store
1. Payment-Enabled Customers
One of the (many) things that makes the Apple iOS ecosystem so powerful is that Apple has 200 million hard-won credit cards on file. Having had iTunes prior to the app ecosystem meant that they were able to tap into a large audience of users for whom purchasing apps and in-game items is as simple as a single click.
Perhaps the only company more synonymous with one-click purchase experiences than Apple is Amazon – they did for the web what Apple has done for the iOS ecosystem when it comes to ease of transaction. And Amazon has tens of millions of payment-enabled customers by their own admission. I'm not sure why they haven't gone through the process of making it easier for freemium game developers to integrate some variant of Amazon Flexible Payments Services as a way to charge for in-app purchases. That seems like a no-brainer way to enable freemium game developers to make real revenue through the Amazon Appstore.
2. Amazon's Distribution Strategy for the Amazon Appstore
I think Amazon has a pretty clear strategy for how they will get their own Appstore deployed to tens of millions of consumers. This is all my speculation – but I think it makes sense:
Phase I: Give away top-tier games that are usually paid for free in order to get consumers to download and install the Amazon Appstore. This is just a simple quid pro quo. The goal is to give customers something of value (a free or greatly reduced install of a game they covet) in exchange for downloading and using the Amazon Appstore on their Android device. Provided Amazon can continue to find developers who want the exposure for their content, this strategy should help seed things.
Phase 2: Work with carriers to get preload deals so that the Amazon Appstore is on many more devices. Doing preload deals is nothing new. If you have relationships with carriers and can afford the economics required to make those deals interesting to them, that's one way to get the Amazon Appstore in front of more consumers. This might prove to be trickier than it sounds, given that many carriers and handset makers themselves also have designs of building their own app stores. But this is still a strategy worth pursuing.
Phase 3: Launch an Amazon tablet, powered by Android, with the Amazon Appstore front and center as the primary application discovery method. The last thing Amazon can and should do (and is doing) is to build and sell its own Android tablets. This has less to do with games and more to do with the Kindle business. It's a good hedge in the whole e-reader vs table debate and should allow Amazon to have a larger footprint for its cloud music and cloud video services. I would fully expect that Amazon will integrate its own Android market front-and-center on that product and will put its considerable marketing muscle behind promoting its table to both Kindle users and people who have yet to have settled on a tablet device.
3. Well-merchandised store
No need to belabor this one. Amazon is one of the world's premier merchandisers when it comes to selling things online. I'd like to think they could bring some creative muscle to app discovery and recommendation.
It's clear to me that Amazon is still in the early stages of building out their Amazon Appstore and that to count them out based on their current progress seems premature.

Former County Assistant Prosecutor Joins Criminal Defense Practice at Einhorn Harris
September 6, 2018 by LawFuel Editors
(Denville, NJ – September 5, 2018) – Einhorn, Harris, Ascher, Barbarito and Frost PCis pleased to welcome former Morris County Assistant Prosecutor Brian D. Kenney to the firm as Counsel with the Criminal Law practice group where he will join partner Michael R.

The author is my friend and I. when I was in Iraq we keep on exchanging email to each other and sometimes we edit, delete and add words coming from your experienced and coming from your heart.
Tama ka, ang lahat ay nasa sariling pagsisikap. Hindi natin pwedeng iasa ang ating kinabukasan sa ibang tao.
This is really nice, thanks for sharing....who is the author?
There are lots of good, positive intentions, but not nearly as many positive results. What's the secret for transforming your best intentions into the reality of rock-solid results?
The secret is, there is no secret. The best technique is to forget about finding a technique, and to live each moment with your purposeful intention as your guide.
Whatever you truly desire will pull you steadily toward itself. Let the desire supply the direction, while letting yourself supply the passion, the energy and the effort.
Instead of fighting the complexity, work your way steadily through it. Rather than resenting the difficulty of the effort, see the pathway provided by that effort, leading reliably toward fulfillment.
The way to make achievement meaningful, the way to make it yours, is to live it moment by moment. Live and act not from a static recipe, but from the dynamic, ever-growing power of your authentic intention.
Feel who you know you can be, feel how you know life can be, and then put the way you feel into action. The way of success is not something outside you that you must discover, but rather the beautiful essence within you that you're able to share.


MERRIMACK, N.H., April 21, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GT Advanced Technologies Inc. (OTC:GTATQ) (the "Company") today announced the extension of the solicitation period in connection with its previously announced proposed debtor-in-possession term loan facility (the "DIP Loan Facility"). Following the extension, the solicitation period will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 1, 2015.
The solicitation process is being conducted in connection with a commitment letter, dated March 17, between the Company and certain holders of the Convertible Notes (the "Commitment Letter"). The Company was authorized to undertake the solicitation process pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on April 2, 2015.
The Company anticipates that the DIP Loan Facility will provide for loans in an initial aggregate principal amount of $95.0 million, and will provide for, or permit, a letter of credit facility providing for the issuance of letters of credit with the aggregate face amounts outstanding not to exceed $15.0 million.
The opportunity to participate in the DIP Loan Facility is limited to those holders of the Company's Convertible Notes as of March 13, 2015 that are (i) qualified institutional buyers, as such term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), (ii) institutional accredited investors within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act or (iii) an entity in which all of the equity investors are such institutional accredited investors. Eligible Holders can contact Kurtzman Carson Consultants by telephone at (917) 281-4800, or by e-mail at GTATInfo@kccllc.com, for more information.
The Company anticipates using the proceeds of the DIP Facility to fund working capital requirements, pay costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the DIP Loan Facility and the transactions contemplated thereby and pay other costs and expenses with respect to the administration of the Company's and certain of its subsidiaries' Chapter 11 cases.
Except as set forth above, all other terms of the solicitation and the DIP Loan Facility remain the same. All holders of the Company's Convertible Notes who have previously submitted their commitment to participate in the solicitation do not need to re-submit such commitment or take any other action in response to the extension of the solicitation period.
Some of the information in this press release relates to future expectations, plans and prospects for the Company's business and industry that constitute "forward-looking statements" for the purposes of the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "may," "will," "could," "should," "expect," "plan," "project," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "pursue," "target," "continue," the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to the following: the DIP Loan Facility will provide for loans in an initial aggregate principal amount of $95.0 million, and will provide for, or permit, a letter of credit facility providing for the issuance of letters of credit with the aggregate face amounts outstanding not to exceed $15.0 million; and the Company anticipates using the proceeds of the DIP Facility to fund working capital requirements, pay other costs and expenses with respect to the administration of the Company's and certain of its subsidiaries' Chapter 11 cases. These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of performance and these statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that may be beyond the Company's control and may cause actual future results to differ materially from our current expectations. The Company's ability to benefit from the DIP Loan Facility may be negatively impacted by certain factors, including the Company's Chapter 11 filings and its ability to comply with agreements with other parties (including Apple Inc.). In addition, the financing provided by the DIP Loan Facility depends on the Holders agreeing to provide loans pursuant to its terms. No assurance can be made that the Holders will provide loans in the amount the Company anticipates, or at all. Other factors that may cause actual events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and various other risks are outlined in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including (but not limited to) the statements under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 28, 2014 and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Statements in this press release should be evaluated in light of these important factors. The statements in this press release represent GT Advanced Technologies Inc.'s expectations and beliefs as of the date of this press release. GT Advanced Technologies Inc. anticipates that subsequent events and developments may cause these expectations and beliefs to change. GT Advanced Technologies Inc. is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any such obligation to, update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

O conector TNC (acrônimo de "Threaded Neill–Concelman") é uma versão rosqueada do conector BNC.

Descrição
As especificações de interface para o TNC e muitos outros conectores são referenciadas no MIL-STD-348. O conector tem impedância de 50 Ω e opera melhor em 0–11 GHz do espectro de frequências. Tem melhor desempenho do que o conector BNC nas frequências de microondas. Inventado no final da década de 1950 e nomeado em homenagem a Paul Neill, da Bell Labs, e Carl Concelman, da Amphenol, o conector TNC foi empregado em uma ampla gama de aplicações de rádio e com fio.

Às vezes, a abreviação TNC é dada como sigla para Threaded Navy Connector.

O conector TNC possui uma rosca de 7/16"-28.

Variações

TNC de polaridade reversa

O TNC de polaridade reversa (RP-TNC, às vezes RTNC) é uma variação da especificação do TNC que inverte a polaridade da interface. Isso geralmente é conseguido incorporando os contatos femininos normalmente encontrados nas tomadas no plugue e os contatos masculinos normalmente encontrados nos plugues na tomada.

Por não estarem prontamente disponíveis, os conectores RP-TNC têm sido amplamente utilizados pelos fabricantes de equipamentos Wi-Fi para cumprir regulamentações locais específicas, como as da FCC, que são projetadas para impedir que os consumidores conectem antenas que exibam ganho e, portanto, violar a conformidade. A FCC considerou que o RP-TNC era aceitável para impedir que os consumidores mudassem a antena; mas em 2000 os considerava prontamente disponíveis, embora atrasando sua decisão indefinidamente. Desde 2013, os principais fabricantes ainda usam conectores RP-TNC em seus equipamentos Wi-Fi.

TNC de 75 ohm
A maioria dos conectores TNC é do tipo 50 ohms, mesmo quando usados com cabo coaxial de outras impedâncias, mas também está disponível uma série de 75 ohms, fornecendo um bom SWR para cerca de 1 GHz. Estes podem ser reconhecidos por uma quantidade reduzida de dielétrico nas extremidades correspondentes. Eles são incompatíveis com os tipos padrão.

Can you understand your ingredient list?
The term "clean label" is gaining momentum in the consumer goods and packaging industries. As shoppers continue to seek out healthier alternatives and more natural foods, it is no surprise that consumers are turning toward products that have what is referred to as clean labels. But what exactly is a clean label? That's why we are here to help.
1 – The lack of harmful additives and ingredients in the product (generally you can recognize every word and pronounce it).
Consumers are paying more and more attention to labels and using them as the primary way to determine the nutritional value of the product and whether or not they want to purchase it or consume it.
Ultimately, a clean label is an indicator that the product is a safer or healthier choice!
Front of package certifications – Words such as "natural", "non-GMO", "organic" "vegan", "kosher" and "free-from …" are markers that the product is clean. These indicators work to assure consumers that the item is safe and has been legally verified to meet a certain standard.
Ingredient lists – Reading the ingredient list is a sure way to determine the cleanliness of the label and product. A good rule of thumb is that if you have the ingredient in your kitchen or home, then it is probably safe. Think of it like this, your Grandma did not add BHT to preserve freshness. Ask yourself, "Can I pronounce each ingredient by name?" If the word is unpronounceable or sounds like it came from a chemistry lab, you may want to steer clear. The longer the list, the more likely it is to have additives and extras.
The story – Many products and companies have a unique story. For a clean label product, that story should focus on transparency, honesty, and safety. The story may focus on corporate responsibility, quality of ingredients, or methods used to produce/manufacture the item. Having a direct and transparent story (either available on the packaging, website, or through other channels) contributes to the overall cleanliness of the label.
Of course, there is no cut and dry answer as to what constitutes a "clean" label or otherwise. For instance, certain ingredients, methods, and additives are considered controversial and can play both good and bad roles in product formulation. What we do know is that more and more consumers are searching for clean labels, which means that manufacturers and suppliers may need to reevaluate their strategies.
What do you personally think about the rise of the clean label trend?
If you work in the consumer goods industry, how has your company adapted to the clean label trend?

Gundlach on the right track
By Shelli Messer, Pitt News
NORTH VERSAILLES, Pa. – Starting out in a sport — or a career — is usually difficult, but for Kate Gundlach, all it took was dialing one phone number.
Actually, it was a little harder than that for the 21-year-old Allison Park, Pa.-native, but not that much. Motorsports have always been in Gundlach's blood. Both of her parents' families love motorcycles.
"I've grown up with racing," Gundlach said. "I have been around it longer than I can remember. It's been accepted into the family. I fell in love with it, though, when I joined the University of Pittsburgh's Formula [Society of Automotive Engineers] team."
That love for racing sparked her to pursue a future in the sport.
"I wanted to get into auto racing, but I didn't know where to start," she said. "I was handed John Walko's card at a Formula SAE event, and I took it straight back to my dorm room. I checked out his Web site and gave him a call."
Walko is co-owner of a formula car racing team that competes in several series, including fielding four cars in the Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear for drivers Graham Rahal, Robbie Pecorari, Jonathan Klein and Pablo Donoso.
"I thought to myself, 'That's what I want. I have to be in this,'" Gundlach said. "All it took was a phone call. I had my interview, and [Walko] told me that I'd start the next day. I was so excited."
As part of a co-op program with Pitt, Gundlach, now a senior mechanical engineering student, is in her second year as an intern for Andersen Walko Racing based in North Versailles, Pa., and Fairfield, N.J. She holds the title of data acquisition specialist and works with the Pi Research system.
A data acquisition specialist downloads computer-generated information regarding the car itself, such as steering, speed, throttling, ground speed, engine diagnostics, and where and when the driver is shifting gears. Gundlach then either looks for what problems the car is having or comments on what could be improved.
For Walko, hiring Gundlach was an easy decision. He believes she'll leave with the experience needed to take her career to the next step.
"Racing looks different from the outside," Walko said. "I want her to take with her the knowledge of how a race team works. She will go knowing what the real thing is."
Two years after being hired, Gundlach has already had the opportunity to work for a professional racecar team, a privilege most mechanical engineering students will never experience. She also has been given the chance to work with Rossella Manfrinato, one of the most accomplished female racing engineers AWR hired this spring.
"Oh my word, it's amazing," Gundlach said in response to working with Manfrinato. "She has so much experience and knowledge. I have learned so much from her, and I'm so lucky to be working with her.
"She has such an in-depth knowledge of every element of the car," Gundlach continued. "She's always thinking of the next step. She's such an all-around awesome person."
Gundlach loves the people who surround her at AWR. Even as a woman, she feels she and Manfrinato are treated with the utmost respect.
"It's easy to forget that I am a woman with this team," Gundlach said. "It's easier having Rossella around. She has so many credentials that everyone knows and respects her. As for the team, they are wonderful. I treat each of them like a crew member, and they treat me like a crew member. They are so easygoing that it makes them easy to get along with."
As if balancing school and a full-time job isn't hard enough, Gundlach has also been a member of Pitt's Formula SAE team for the last three years. She is the leader of the group responsible for the drivetrain in the team's car.
"SAE is an organization that includes around 150 teams worldwide," Gundlach explained. "The Formula SAE events allow college students to engineer, design and drive small, formula 500-size cars. It is a one-race event, but the car must finish other competitions such as endurance, autocross, accelerations, etc.
"I really don't know how I balance it all," Gundlach said. "I tend to think I handle it well. I can't focus on things too long, so having lots to do makes it easier to go back and forth. I love what I do. I try to be as involved as possible while keeping up with school. It motivates me when I know that I can learn more. Plus, caffeine helps a lot."
Gundlach, who has one more year of engineering studies, isn't sure where she will end up next." No matter what direction she decides to make, she knows racing will be involved.
"I would like to get my master's degree, but I have to find the money and the time," she said. "I want to be a racecar engineer and work my way up the ladder."
Of course, Andersen Walko Racing would love to see Gundlach stick around once she graduates.
"She has what it takes to work on a race team," Walko said.
"I have more confidence from working here [AWR]," she said. "You learn more about yourself with racing. What can I say? Racing is my life."
Andersen Walko Racing partnership announcement
FAIRFIELD, N.J., Feb. 20 - Andersen Walko Racing (AWR), one of the most successful formula car prep shops in North America, has become a dealer for Pi Research data acquisition products.
AWR will use that company's systems in all three of its cars competing in the Formula Ford 2000 Zetec championship in 2004. Andrew Prendeville, Adam Pecorari and Mike Andersen are the drivers.
Dan Abbale, Jonathan Klein and Chris Meredith drive for AWR in the Formula SCCA series. Scott Willard's Formula Continental car is prepped by AWR, as is Tim Dunn's Formula Ford.
The team is currently installing Pi's new Delta Lite system with "X Sport" dashes and Toolbox Lite software into many of its cars.
"We've had a long-term working relationship with members of AWR," explained Jason Knuteson, SCCA Club Racing sales manager for Pi Research, USA, which is based in Indianapolis. "AWR is one of our premier teams in SCCA Club Racing, and we're excited to have them on board. All of their team cars are on Pi systems."
"We chose PiXpress because its new dash display is excellent and it offers a new 'qualifying mode,' which gives drivers instant feedback," said Andersen, who in addition to being one of the team's drivers is also its data acquisitions expert.
"In addition to using Pi systems, we will carry their products and accessories for sale to other teams," added his father, team co-owner Dan Andersen.
The new X Sport from PiXpress was developed directly from the steering wheel-mounted instrumentation used in the cockpits of Indy car and Formula 1 race cars. It allows drivers to see the data when they want to, and neatly replaces gauges or other bulkhead-mounted instrumentation in a small, lightweight package mounted directly on the steering wheel.
Among the things it keeps track of are lap times and lap numbers completed; the driver's current lap position against the fastest lap of the day; real-time speed and RPMs; minimum corner and maximum straight speeds; gear numbers; and high-intensity gear changes in order to protect the engine. Logged data includes lap times, maximum speed and RPMs, and maximum and minimum sensor values for each lap. Data can be downloaded to a PC laptop to discuss in driver debriefings, hopefully resulting in better lines and faster speeds.
For more information on Pi, see www.piXpress.com and www.piResearch.com.
AWR has offices in Fairfield, N.J. while its race cars are housed in a shop in North Versailles, Pa. For more information call (973) 244-1900 and see the team's Web site at www.andersenwalko.com.

The EFB is state-of-the-art, but MetService is state-of-the-archaic
11 June 2014 / by Brian Mackie / Costs, Governance, Safety
AvPlan in action, versus MetService inaction. (Picture courtesy of AvSoft)
The Electronic Flight Bag, or EFB, has become so commonplace in cockpits around the world that almost everyone with a knowledge of, or interest in, aviation is an enthusiast.
For the benefit of those with neither (such as the Chairperson of MetService, Sarah Smith, and the Minister of Transport, Gerry Brownlee), we have included a picture of one.
It's an iPad (or sometimes an Android tablet device) and – with EFB software installed – it removes
♦ a printed AIP manual weighing about 2 kg
♦ a set of large and unwieldy printed charts
♦ a printed weather forecast and
♦ a hard copy of the NOTAMs
This 21st Century innovation is now considered so important to cost- and time-saving for all aviators (as well as making their operations far safer) that it is now required equipment in many international airliner cockpits.
Our own Airways Corporation says it is committed to the EFB concept. It has licensed AIP access to commercial EFB developers so that they can integrate the AIP in their applications. Among them are Australia's AvPlan and OzRunways, and the Swiss-based Air Navigation Pro. GAA also understands from Airways that it would very much like to include MetFlightGA weather forecasts on its site, too, but can't do this because State Owned Enterprise MetService owns the forecast and its fellow State Owned Enterprise, Airways, won't pay for it*.
Dear Reader, that's the failure of joined-up government and efficient SEOs neatly summed up.
Although GAA has objected to Airways' behaviour in making it almost impossible for an unlicensed, non-commercial developer of even a simple macro to provide users easy and free access to AIP data, there is no doubt that its commercial partners are doing a very good job of offering all aviators a hugely improved source of planning information – and at highly competitive prices.
A hugely improved source of information, that is, apart from the New Zealand Weather.
New Zealand general aviators have several choices of EFB software designed for our environment, of which the leading candidates are OzRunways and AvSoft's AvPlan, both originating from Australia. It would be unfair to include the highly popular AirNav Pro, because that's a global generic product whose developers can't be expected to focus quite so well on our marketplace.
This story is not a product review, although it began as one. It has to do with the weather.
What I noticed, as I explored AvPlan, was the difference between its downloaded weather, automatically applied to a flight plan, and what I was getting from MetFlightGA. The winds were clearly different, so where was AvPlan accessing the weather?
An email exchange with AvPlan Support rapidly supplied the answer.
AvPlan (and probably OzRunways) does not access MetFlight weather forecasts because MetService charges for them. AvSoft's Bevan Anderson said: "AvPlan does not link directly to MetService. TAFs and METARs for the four main airports are available from other sources, and we use a global forecast model for winds aloft."
The Australian version of AvPlan accesses weather forecasts from Airservices, because GA forecasts in Australia are free. And in Australia, filing a flight plan costs nothing as well. Which is why AvPlan for NZ has an option to File a Flight Plan (New Zealand aviators are advised to avoid this $10 button).
So there it is, in a nutshell. Buy AvPlan for $99 a year (which includes the VNCs and the full AIP) and you get one of the finest flight planning aids in the world, on your iPad; but minus the New Zealand aviation forecasts (and an important piece of functionality) because Gerry Brownlee's daft dogma of User Pays and MetService's ruthlessness in extracting money from private pilots makes no commercial sense to either us or the folks who wrote this EFB software.
We understand that Airways doesn't like the current arrangements and would prefer GA weather forecasts to be returned to its IFIS website. We also understand that CAA Director Graeme Harris is uncomfortable with the charging regime and would like it to change.
But what are the bean-counters at MetService doing?
They've just announced a 4 percent increase in the MetFlightGA subscription, forcing it north of $100 a year! In doing so, they claimed that this was the first increase in nine years, and that few others could claim to have maintained charges at 2005 levels.
The problem with this claim is that MetFlightGA was free to us, until August 2011…
* Plus ça change… Des Lines recalls: This impasse is reminiscent of an incident that occurred back in the 80s just after Air New Zealand Mk1 and NAC merged. The new management structure decided that to achieve efficiency, they would split the company up into separate "business units" that would be run on a "commercial" basis.
Not long after this happened, a B737 became unserviceable in Dunedin with a minor defect that required an engineer to fix and sign off. The call came through from Airline Ops to domestic engineering in Christchurch, to send an engineer down on the next scheduled flight. In the past, an engineer only had to front up with his toolbox and a free-of-charge ticket would be written for him to travel to Dunedin. However, the rules had now changed and when the engineer phoned his manager from the check-in counter to say that he was being asked to pay a full commercial fare before he would be issued with a ticket, his manager told him to return to headquarters.
The flight arrived in Dunedin and no engineer disembarked. A panic call was put through to Engineering HQ in Christchurch to find out what had happened to the engineer who was going to fix the Boeing, still sitting on the tarmac. The engineering manager replied that he considered a full commercial fare was far too expensive and in order to keep his business unit profitable, he was sending the engineer down by train, which was going to be a much more cost-effective option.
The problems of inter-business unit charges were rapidly sorted after that!
This analogy has stark similarities to the present debacle we have over free MetFlightGA access. Individual SOEs are putting their commercial imperatives ahead of public safety issues, and this is unacceptable nonsense.

Loving Don Quixote – Elaine Feinstein
8 November 2016 2 July 2020
Loving Don Quixote
Even now I love you, gentle Knight
of the Rueful Countenance,
because I have always fallen most deeply
in love with vulnerable men ---
---not losers exactly, but dream-led searchers,
driven by a mad need to excel---
boldly pursuing glory in second hand  clothes
or---  like my father, who left school at twelve---
wearing his top hat in the  President's box.
Yet they were nobler than the world they entered,
their poor decisions readily forgiven
as we forgive children who  contrive
to play for honour without calculation
simply to make sense of being alive.

Naples golfer sinks two holes in one in the same round
by Gage Goulding
11:39 PM EDT, Mon June 20, 2022
NAPLES, Fla. – Most golfers play their whole life to make just one hole in one. That's a piece of cake for Naples golfer Frank Kowalski.
"If you've seen me play golf you'd say 'This is one lucky man,'" Kowalski said.
He might be the luckiest guy in all of Southwest Florida right now. On May 25, Kowalski sunk two aces in the same round. He did it without even taking a single practice swing.
Frank showed up fashionably late to his tee time so it was straight out to hole #7 where his group started that morning.
"The first swing of the day was with a sand wedge on this very hole here, #7," he said.
Like a slow-motion story, his sand wedge sent the ball soaring.
"I saw it bounce in front of the hole and it was on the line."
At 8:30 in the morning, Frank and his friends whole the whole neighborhood up cheering as the ball went in.
"They were happy for me and that's a nice thing to have the guys that you know, that your playing with cheering in your joy. It's cool," he said.
Oh but wait, Frank wasn't done yet. Fast forward to hole #15.
"The second hole, none of us actually saw the ball go in."
He hit his five wood, which worked wonders. When he and his group got the green they didn't see his ball.
"They had a hunch, gee, it can't be," he said. "I went and I looked and low and behold. When I saw that I thought 'Oh my goodness, that's just crazy."
The odds of making a hole in one are 12,500 to 1, according to the PGA. But to make two in the same round is 67 million to 1. Frank beat all the odds.
"If you're lucky twice in one day, I think you've used your luck up for that day," he said.
"Two in one round, that's amazing," added Stan Geer, the Head Gold Professional at Vi at Bentley Village.
The word "pro" in his title means he's a good golfer, bot not too many are as good as that.
"I've been fortunate to have five in my career, three here, but never come close to two in one day," Geer said.
So we put Frank on the spot. Could he hit another one with the pressure turned up and cameras rolling?
The 74-year-old didn't sink the Ace, but came just 3.5 feet away.
Frank: "I'd say that's a putt I ought to make for a birdie."
Gage: "I was going to say, you're going to birdie that, right?"
Frank: "Well, of course."
Gage: "You birdied it this morning, right?"
Frank: "I did."
Some might call it luck and Frank does too. With these two holes in one, he now has a total of five in his lifetime.
But where he's luckiest isn't on the course.
"I think I'm lucky in a lot of ways," Kowalski said. "To have the family that I have, the wife and child that we have."
He can always get better at golf, but at life, Frank is living the best one.
