Hard Rock Las Vegas acquired by Virgin Hotels
Richard Branson has purchased the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas from a Brookfield-managed private real estate fund.
The deal was carried out in partnership with a group led by Juniper Capital Partners and Fengate Real Asset Investments, along with their partners Dream, Cowie Capital Partners, and other private investors.
The group plans to open a reconceptualised and revitalised property, the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, in the second half of 2019.
The Virgin Hotels brand's entrance into the entertainment capital of the world is an exciting development - one that will see innovative design fused with irresistible amenities in order to give guests experiences that will surprise and delight.
"Las Vegas has long held a special place in my heart," said Branson, founder of the Virgin Group.
"Virgin Atlantic and Virgin America have enjoyed flying to Las Vegas for years and I've always known that Virgin Hotels could thrive there as well.
"I'm really looking forward to painting the town Virgin red."
The property, located at 4455 Paradise Road, will continue full service operations under the Hard Rock flag until it opens as a Virgin Hotels hotel.
Guest rooms, restaurants and public spaces will undergo a face lift, expected to cost in the hundreds of millions, with the final product being a showcase of Virgin's signature sleek and stylish design with an eclectic mix of social spaces.
The hotel will feature 1,504 well-appointed Chambers, Grand Chamber Suites and Penthouse Suites; a 60,000 square foot, fully-renovated casino, multiple pools over five acres, world-class restaurants, lounges and bars, including new nightlife venues and the brand's flagship space, the Commons Club, as well as numerous meeting and convention spaces.
"Las Vegas is a dynamic city – the people, the excitement, the entertainment. To me, it's always been the perfect city for our next Virgin Hotel," said Virgin Hotels chief executive Raul Leal.
"We are dedicated to delivering the best in design, entertainment, heartfelt service and culinary excellence and we can't wait to welcome visitors to what is sure to be an awe-inspiring Las Vegas experience."
Located just off the famous Las Vegas Strip, Virgin Hotels Las Vegas will be a destination for locals and guests alike, offering premier food, beverage, and entertainment experiences.
Branson added: "When I've come to Vegas over the years my favourite casino has been the Hard Rock.
"It's great to walk around and see memorabilia of Johnny Rotten, the Rolling Stones, Bowie and other Virgin bands plastered on the walls.
"It's got delightful and dedicated people working there and it has beautiful outdoor swimming pool areas and beautiful rooms but through lack of investment it's slightly tired.
"So I'm really proud today to announce Virgin Hotels has bought the Hard Rock Hotel and we'll be bringing it back to its old glory again under the Virgin brand.
"Virgin Atlantic has flown to Vegas for years and it's only a hop and a skip from the airport to the Hard Rock.
"Close by the hotel we have the Virgin Hyperloop One test site operating out in the desert, Virgin Orbit getting ready to send satellites into space and Virgin Galactic is gearing up for powered flight.
"An exciting part of America for Virgin and its wonderful people.
"Exciting times too!"

Changing Rights of Way
Changes to public rights of way through their diverting, extinguishing or creating can be achieved through a Public Path Order either under the Highways Act 1980 or under Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
The Council has the (discretionary) power to make Public Path Orders (but are under no duty to do so), under Sections 26, 118 or 119 of the Highways Act 1980, once it is satisfied that it is expedient to do so in the interests of the public, of the owner, lessee or occupier of the land crossed by the path and that the relevant legal tests can be met.
Public Path Orders, made under section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 by the Council, are the means by which a change is made to public rights of way to enable the implementation of a planning permission.
In addition, if the public have used a route for twenty or more years as of public right and without interruption, they may apply for a Modification Order under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. The statuses of existing footpaths, bridleways and byways can also be modified using this process. For further information, please see Definitive Map Modification Orders.
Proposals to change public rights of way can arise from an individual, an organisation or the Council itself. The decision process as to whether and how any footpath, bridleway or restricted byway should be diverted or extinguished is a public one. The procedure followed is designed to ensure the public are made aware of the changes proposed and that anyone who wishes to state their views and have them taken into account before a final decision is made has the opportunity to do so.
Diverting a Right of Way (Highways Act 1980 Section 119)
The diversion of a footpath, bridleway or restricted byway, using a Public Path Diversion Order, is made under Section 119 of the Highways Act 1980, in the interests of landowners, occupiers or the public. The diversion of a byway must go before a Magistrate's Court.
Before making an order, the Council must be satisfied that it is expedient to divert the path in the interests of the public or the owner, lessee or occupier of the land crossed by the path.
The Council must also be satisfied that the diversion does not alter any point of termination of the path, other than to another point on the same path, or another highway connected with it, and which is substantially as convenient to the public. Nor can the termination be altered where this is not a highway, such as a cul-de-sac.
Before confirming an order the Council, or the Secretary of State, must be satisfied that:
The diversion is expedient in the interests of the persons stated in the order;
The path will not be substantially less convenient to the public as a consequence of the diversion;
It is expedient to confirm the order having regard to the effect it will have on public enjoyment of the path as a whole, on other land served by the existing path and on land affected by any proposed new path.
Extinguishing a Right of Way (Highways Act 1980 Section 118)
The extinguishment of a public right of way, using a Public Path Extinguishment Order, is made under Section 118 of the Highways Act 1980 and before the making of an order it must be demonstrated that it is expedient for the Council to extinguish the path on the grounds that it is not needed for public use.
Before confirming the order the Council, or Secretary of State, must be satisfied that it is expedient with regard to the extent the path is likely to be used and the effect that closure would have on the land served by it, taking into account the provisions for compensation. However, such applications generally receive tremendous objection and are often not processed or confirmed as a result.
In making and confirming the order, the Council and the Secretary of State must disregard any temporary circumstances preventing or diminishing public use of the path.
Creating a Right of Way through a Creation Agreement (Highways Act 1980 Section 25)
Only the owner of the land crossed by the proposed new path has the legal capacity to enter into a creation agreement with the Council to dedicate it as a public footpath, bridleway or restricted byway. Any stiles or gates on the path will be included as limitations on the path and will, therefore, be included on the Definitive Statement. A way created under an agreement automatically becomes maintainable at public expense.
Cornwall Council reserves the right to waive or reduce the fees depending on the individual merits of the proposal, i.e. benefit to the public network or in lieu of a Definitive Map Modification Order.
Creating a Right of Way through a Creation Order (Highways Act 1980 Section 26)
The creation of a public right of way, using a Public Path Creation Order, is made under Section 26 of the Highways Act 1980 whereby a new public footpath, bridleway or restricted byway can only be created if it appears to the Council that there is a need and that it would be expedient to do so with regard to:
The extent to which it would add to the convenience or enjoyment of a substantial section of the public or to local residents and;
The effect that the creation would have on the rights of those with an interest in the land.
Town and Country Planning Act 1990 Section 257
A public right of way can be extinguished or diverted, using a Public Path Stopping Up or Diversion Order made under Section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, if the applicant can demonstrate that it is necessary to stop up or divert the route of the existing public right of way to enable development to be carried out in accordance with planning permission granted.
Anyone looking to extend or develop a site is advised to check with the Countryside Access Team before making a planning application in order to determine whether or not a public right of way will be affected by the development or the building operations. The granting of outline or detailed planning permission does not allow the developer to close or divert a public right of way affected by a development. Public rights of way must remain open and unobstructed at all times until the necessary statutory procedures, which authorise closure or diversion of the path, are complete. The fact that planning permission has been granted, or is not required, does not entitle a developer to obstruct, interfere with or move a public right of way.
Wherever possible the development should accommodate the line of the existing path. However, if this is not possible, there is means within the planning permission to have the path stopped up or diverted (if proven that it is necessary). It is essential, therefore, that developers consider the question of public rights of way at the earliest stage, i.e. when formulating development proposals.
The developer must either apply for a temporary closure or to have any public right of way affected by the development diverted in order to ensure that the path is not obstructed. Failure to do so could result in the development being delayed. The Highway Authority can also legally remove any obstruction over or across a public right of way and recover costs from the landowner.
A landowner can apply for a temporary closure to a public right of way to allow for the development of the site for a maximum six month period. There are costs associated with this and three months written notice is required by writing to:

S.Korean Exit Polls Suggest Tight Presidential Race
Posted December 19th, 2012 at 5:00 am (UTC-5)
Exit polls from Wednesday's presidential election in South Korea give a slight edge to conservative candidate Park Geun-hye, but the race appeared too close to call as voting wrapped up.
The polls suggest that Park, who would become South Korea's first-ever female president, won 50.1 percent of the vote, compared to 48.9 percent for her liberal rival Moon Jae-in. The difference was inside the margin of error.
Despite frigid winter weather, turnout was strong across the country, surpassing that of the previous two presidential elections. Officials were not expected to count all the votes and deliver a result until late Wednesday.
Park, a five-term lawmaker of the ruling New Frontier Party and the daughter of the late South Korean dictator Park Chung-hee, told reporters she was optimistic as she cast her vote in the capital, Seoul.
"Although the weather is cold, I hope everyone participates in voting and opens the new era that people have been waiting for. I will await your decision with a humble mind. I believe the wise South Korean people will lead the way to the Republic of Korea's new era."
Moon, a center-left candidate from the opposition Democratic United Party, cast his vote in the southeastern port city of Busan.
"I have tried my best. I have done all I could and everything is at God's disposal. The only way for our citizens to change the world is to vote."
Both candidates have promised to fix the widening income gap that has expanded under President Lee Myung-bak, who is stepping down at the end of his five-year term.
The 60-year-old Park has pledged dialogue with North Korea, but has taken a tougher stance on Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programs. Moon would go a step further, resuming aid without preconditions to the impoverished country.
North Korean defector Choi Young-hee, who escaped from Pyongyang in 2004, is casting ballots in her second presidential election in the South. She says she is disappointed in the hard-line stance President Lee's government has taken toward the North.
"Our earnest wish is unification. I have left my family in the North, survived a life-or-death crisis, and I cannot write a letter to them or see them. When unification is achieved I hope that we get to meet our family and live a happy life. I believe the next president will make our earnest wish a reality."
Moon is a former chief of staff to Mr. Lee's predecessor, late President Roh Moo-hyun, who advocated the so-called "Sunshine Policy" of better relations with the North. Moon was once jailed under the administration of her rival's father.
Park's father, who ruled the country for 18 years, is both admired for dragging the country out of poverty and reviled for his suppression of dissent. He was assassinated in 1979.
Many observers say at least 70 percent of South Korea's 40 million eligible voters will need to turn out to deliver a victory for Moon. The 59-year-old has promised to perform global pop sensation Says' "Angina Style" horse dance if turnout exceeds 77 percent.

Improve dialogue with industrial partners.
Who said France is short on innovation? The Laboratory for Innovation in New Energy Technologies, or LITEN, is one of Europe's largest centers for research into new energy technologies. This fastgrowing research institute is one of four innovation centers in Grenoble on the campus of the CEA, the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission.
The PICTIC platform in Grenoble develops new printing technologies for electronic components on flexible surfaces (plastic, paper, textiles, etc.) using inks containing organic materials, including polymers and/or nanomaterials such as silver nanowires instead of the traditional silicon. Potential applications are incredibly varied, ranging from flexible screens to medical biosensors, intelligent packaging and an X-ray plate that can bend to mirror the shape of a fractured arm.
"Organic materials enable us to produce electronic components on large, conformable surfaces," explains Amélie Revaux, head of the Printed Organic Component Characterization and Aging laboratory.
Mapping performance on a plate. Each point corresponds to a component.
Overall, the platform has around 50 researchers who are paving the way for innovations to connect the world and intelligent objects of the future. Some of the research is still experimental, focusing on devising and optimizing new processes. Other research, carried out in close conjunction with industrial partners, is nearing the technology transfer phase. It is at this stage that JMP® statistical discovery software from SAS enables Revaux's team to save precious time. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
JMP® and ease of use
When the PICTIC platform was established in 2012, the research was still very experimental and did not involve extensive statistical analysis. Researchers carried out their experimental designs manually and worked on Excel macros. But as the technologies matured, the volume of data increased. As technology transfer to industrial partners approached, it became necessary to work on runs of thousands of components to test their performance under all possible conditions. A more powerful statistical tool than conventional spreadsheets became essential.
Revaux looked at all the software available on the market. Other teams at LITEN were already using JMP to monitor platforms and processes, particularly in the Transport department, where hydrogen batteries are being developed. The ease of use of JMP persuaded her to follow suit. "It's essential for people like us, who are not statisticians," she says. "The graphic tool is very powerful, and JMP is both simple and flexible."
One of the software's major advantages is that it enables users to program analyses without needing to write any code. "JMP records how we process the data the first time and generates a script that can be reproduced for subsequent experiments. This is particularly useful when you are repeating the same type of protocol several times, for example, in reliability studies."
Large volumes of data in a flash
Reliability testing represents a crucial stage in innovation. In the case of PICTIC, this means testing the performance of runs of thousands of components and following their performance over a monthlong period, taking readings every hour – which means a thousand readings for every test. A conventional spreadsheet would struggle to handle such high volumes of data, particularly since several reliability runs are carried out in parallel for the same application, varying the conditions of use.
Monitoring the performance of the reference plates from the PICTIC platform: statistics of 1,000 components per plate.
"Excel can draw a graph with 1,000 points," explains Revaux. "But it can't easily compare different reliability runs with each other." That is a significant deficit, since it is often by comparing runs that it becomes possible to move the research forward.
Moving quickly from visualization to analysis
The interactivity of JMP plays an important role in discovery, Revaux says. "JMP makes it easy to visualize anomalies on a particular parameter very quickly. Simply click on a point on the graph to access the data table so you can see what has caused the anomaly."
Monitoring results in real time also makes it possible to split reliability testing into different phases, and therefore learn more from the tests.
The icing on the cake is that by providing access to numerous parameters via interactive graphs, JMP makes it easier to identify correlations between various parameters that researchers would not otherwise have thought to compare. Thus, JMP fosters statistical discovery by sometimes revealing important information that no one was looking for.
Saving time for the whole team
JMP software's graphic interface also saves laboratory researchers valuable time in the day-to-day task of formatting data. Where Revaux and her team earlier might have spent a day "drawing graphs" to produce a visual representation of their reliability runs to compare the results, they now need just an hour, allowing much more time for analysis and research.
Extraction of printed parameters for thin-film transistors and changes over time.
Researchers can swap tips about using JMP or consult with others within the CEA, which hosted the annual JMP users day in Grenoble in 2014. JMP's advisers are "very responsive," according to Revaux, and are also available to demonstrate additional capabilities.
A common language with industrial partners
After the research stage is complete, there are weekly meetings with industrial partners. And here, JMP offers one final advantage. "The clarity of the graphs makes it easier for us to talk to our partners," explains Revaux. "Every week, I prepare a PowerPoint, which incorporates JMP screenshots. This makes it easy for them to follow the progress of the research and means we are all speaking the same language."
Making full use of the software's potential
As their research reaches the critical technology transfer phase, members of Revaux's team will be exploring the laws of acceleration to test reliability over 15 years. Upstream, the PICTIC teams could also adapt JMP functionalities for the experimental design of future applications, paving the way for more and more innovations.

October 9, 2020 in Free Sweet Romance / Sweet Romance tagged $FREE / clean romance / fake marriage / friends to lovers / Kat Cantrell / Sweet Romance by Scarlett
They promise each other they won't let it get weird. But they do. And it does…
Nomi Hannon is sick of losing. First, she failed to get her brother off on fraud charges. Then, she lost the practice they built together. She's not about to lose the city council election. Too bad she just accidentally starred in a compromising photo that her squeaky-clean opponent is all too willing to use against her. Surely marrying the guy in the photo—her best friend, the only stable force in her life—will solve the problem…right?
Malone DuMar's luck hasn't been any better than Nomi's. He's not looking for a wife, not after his ex-fiancée stole his company. But Nomi has always been the one person he could count on. There's no way he's going to turn his back on her when she needs him the most.
It's a simple plan. Only pretend. That's what they told themselves, anyway. But that was before they realized their friendship was on the line if their marriage of convenience went south. Before the kiss that changed everything…

The little lumber town's locals seem to be welcoming and kind, embracing Chauntis Bay's newest keeper of the light and making it easier to move forward with a new life. But when a violent winter storm threatens the integrity of the lighthouse and a foundered ship washes up to shore, Max is bewildered to find a single, unbelievable survivor…

When all is said and done, she'll have a recording contract with Harper Music. Simple…until her ex-boyfriend, Warren, shows up unannounced and with horrible timing: it's on the one day she hasn't washed her hair, and she's still wearing the same pants she slept in.
Warren's gorgeous singing voice and Southern charm are hard to resist, but Eloise is determined to stay focused. Easier said than done when one glance from him makes her insides turn to mush.

As flirting with Warren reaches a pinnacle and she thinks she's ready to give him a second chance, Eloise discovers he's been keeping a secret that brings his character into question.

She never wanted to see him again.
So why can't Jenna escape Jackson Wells' smirking–and frustratingly attractive–face?
When she returns home to Sandover Island after her mother's death, Jenna is at rock bottom. If there were a level lower than rock bottom, that's where she is. Hope doesn't exist down there. Neither does love.
To make things worse, Jenna keeps running into Jackson, a man she's known–and avoided–since high school. She doesn't know why he's pulling the nice-guy act, but she isn't buying.
Unless it isn't an act at all. Then she might really be in trouble.
The one woman billionaire Jackson Wells has loved for half his life comes home…
….and still sees him as the idiot kid he was in high school.
He just wants a chance to show her that he has changed. But every kindness he tosses her way, she lobs back like a grenade. Jackson can see how high she's built her walls to keep out the pain.
Good thing he's prepared to scale them. No matter how long it takes.
But on a small beach island like Sandover, you can't ever escape your past. Can Jackson and Jenna forge a new future together?

Q: Understanding a step in a solution of a problem The problem and its solution are given below:

But I do not understand why $\{z_{n}\} \subset K$ could anyone explain this for me please?

A: $f$ is linear so $f(x+y) = f(x) + f(y)$ and $f(x + ay) = f(x) + af(y)$.
And so
$f(z_n)= f(x_1 - \color{blue}{f(x_1)}\frac {x_n}{\color{blue}{f(x_n)}})$and as $f$ is linear, if we treat $\color{blue}{f(x_1)}$ and $\color{blue}{f(x_n)}$ constants we get
$f(z_n)= f(x_1 - \color{blue}{f(x_1)}\frac {x_n}{\color{blue}{f(x_n)}})=$
$f(x_1) - f(\color{blue}{ \frac{f(x_1)}{f(x_n)}}x_n)=$
$f(x_1) - \color{blue}{ \frac{f(x_1)}{f(x_n)}}f(x_n)=$
$f(x_1) - \color{blue}{f(x_1)}\frac {f(x_n)}{\color{blue}{f(x_n)}} = f(x_1)-f(x_1) = 0$
$z_n \in f^{-1}(0) = K$.

A: For each $n\geq 1$, we have that
$$\begin{align}
f(z_n) &= f\Big( x_1 - f(x_1)\frac{x_n}{f(x_n)} \Big) \\
&= f(x_1) - f(x_1)\frac{f(x_n)}{f(x_n)} = 0
\end{align}$$
so, for each $n\geq 1$, $f(z_n) = 0$, that is, $z_n \in f^{-1}(\{0\})$.

Sarah Gibbons (1634/5 – 1659) was an English Quaker preacher in America. She was one of the first to land and she was initially imprisoned and banished. She returned and died in an accident in 1659.

Life
Gibbons was maybe born in Bristol in 1634 or 1635.

She was one of the women Quakers who were early travellors to America. The Quakers arrived in New England in 1656. Gibbons was on board the Speedwell, she was 21 and few details are known of her early life. They set out from Gravesend and they arrived in September.  Her story was recovered by others as it is clear if she was literate. The other Quakers included William Brend, John Copeland, Christopher Holder, Mary Prince,  Thomas Thrifton, Mary Weatherhead, and a maid named Dorothy Waugh. Their names were marked with a letter "Q" and were arrested, interrogated and the colony kept them prisoners for eleven weeks. The magistrates were worried about their influence on the other colonists and they were banished.

In the following year Gibbons was among those who returned on the smaller ship Woodhouse. Five were set ashore at the Dutch plantation of New Amsterdam (New York): Robert Hodgson, Richard Doudney, Sarah Gibbons, Mary Weatherhead, and Dorothy Waugh.

They established a Quaker group on Rhode Island. From there over the next two years she went to Manhattan, Salem, Boston and Barbados to evangelise.

Gibbons died in Providence in an accident with a canoe. She and others were using the canoe to come to shore, but the canoe leaked. Others were saved but Gibbons drowned.

A new report of complementary studies in humans and mice yields the best evidence to date linking gut bacteria to obesity. The findings have therapeutic implications for both obesity and type 2 diabetes.
A new clinical study yields direct evidence of a mechanistic link between TMAO levels and clotting events. And it suggests that TMAO-induced platelet responsiveness can be attenuated by aspirin.
When dietary choline and L-carnitine meet gut flora, the result is TMAO — and much unhealthful mischief. New research shows the damage goes beyond atherosclerosis to heart failure, chronic kidney disease and maybe more.
Further research revealed heart failure patients with elevated plasma levels of TMAO, a metabolite generated in the gut, have a higher mortality risk than patients with lower TMAO levels.
Researchers have found that a biochemical mechanism is at work between gut microbes and cholesterol that can lead to an increased risk of heart disease. They are looking more closely at a meat based diet vs. a plant based diet. Building on years of previous work, Dr. Hazen Stanley Hazen, Cleveland Clinic, and a research team are tracking the substance TMAO produced by the liver that is found to have an impact on negative cardiac outcomes.

Are You a Good Boss?
Can't crack your apathetic coworker? Money might not motivate him, finds a new workplace survey from PsychTests.com.
Per the survey, only 18 percent of employees feel their bosses are "on the right track" when it comes to inspiring them, and a full 25 percent responded "not at all" when asked if their managers or colleagues understood what drives them.
While everyone appreciates a fatter paycheck, the motivating effects of a bonus or raise are short-lived, says Ilona Jerabek, Ph.D., the president of PsychTests.com. In fact, thinking about money is more likely to de-motivate people, because most workers don't believe they're being paid what they deserve, she says.
So if dollars don't work, then what's the secret to supercharging your colleagues? Using the survey data, Jerabek and her team isolated the five most common employee types, and determined the incentives that are most likely to optimize each type's productivity. Here's how to motivate any kind of coworker:
1. The Trailblazer
He tends to focus on others, like your customers or whoever benefits from the work you do. If he's going to pump his blood, sweat, and tears into a job, he wants to improve people's lives—or at least leave behind a legacy that will inspire his colleagues or clients.
Motivate him: Emphasize your company's values and ethics. Explain exactly how his work makes a difference, and how his role contributes to the larger company goals. He'll thrive in team-oriented environments.
2. The Workhorse
You ask for 100-percent effort, and he gives you 150. He's dependable, consistent, and loyal, but he has a tendency to turtle when you throw him curveballs. Why? Because he craves security at work and in life. He wants to believe that if he does what he's told, he's got nothing to worry about.
Motivate him: Provide him with a stable work environment—no last-second project changes or role shifts. Focus on retirement plans and realistic career paths, and lay out for him exactly what he needs to do to keep you and the company happy.
3. The Heavyweight
He wants to be challenged. He's constantly asking to take on new responsibilities or clients, and he doesn't give a thought to work-life balance. He's all about pushing himself and proving his ability.
Motivate him: Give him what he wants. Throw down individual goals or targets—a sales quota, a deadline, or a pesky negotiation—and offer him sole control and accountability. The more daunting the task, the more he's likely to respond.
4. The Generation Y-er
He's confident, social, and probably in his 20s. He's more likely to be tech-y, is interested in new methods of doing business, and appreciates unconventional work environments. He's a quick learner, but he becomes bored just as quickly.
Motivate him: Put him on a team and give him projects that require outside-the-box thinking. Above all, make him feel like he's part of something pioneering, ahead of the curve, and one of a kind. And make sure he has ample free time to live life outside of the office, because he needs that to be content.
5. The Explorer
In many ways the opposite of a workhorse, he craves variety and new experiences. The idea of doing the same thing until retirement repels him, and he relishes the opportunity to show off his creativity and to try new roles.
Motivate him: Give him variety. Change up his responsibilities and tasks every few months, or at least offer him a handful of different objectives to work on. Focus on how each aspect of his job is unique and challenging, and emphasize the different skills he'll develop.

Kartesia team meets Hands On London and Divine Rescue
Hands On London is a non-profit that has been created in 2010 and working as an enabler between not-for-profits, charities, community groups and volunteers. They helped Kartesia to organise its second Volunteering Day (first one for the London office) in May 2019, this time for the benefit of Divine Rescue.
Divine Rescue is a volunteer-led humanitarian charity organisation aiming to provide help & support for the homeless, people in crisis & other vulnerable groups. Since 2005, they provide different services for the people they work for, from providing them with meals to helping them to build their CV. Their main sources of revenue are the financial donations and the charity shop where they sell material donations (mainly clothes).
Four weeks ago, they had to relocate their offices and activities from East London to Center London. Following that forced move, Divine Rescue needed the help of many volunteers to reorganized and refurbish their offices, the computers room, the donations inventory, etc. That's where Kartesia comes into play! The London and Madrid teams of Kartesia gathered in London to sort (a lot of!) clothes donations.
The sorted clothes will make their way the new charity shop in Kentish Town this week and another team of volunteers will clean the space and begin setting up with Hands On London. The clothing items will serve two purposes. A large quantity of the clothes will be given out for free to those who are in need - predominantly homeless individuals and families on a low income. The rest of the clothing will be set up in the charity shop, and they will use the contributions in a variety of ways to help them find their feet again.

Film Review: Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst (dir by Robert Stone)
Posted on April 21, 2018 by Lisa Marie Bowman
"Death to the fascist insect that preys upon the life of the people!"
— Patty "Tania" Hearst
2004's Guerrilla is not the first movie that I've reviewed about the kidnapping of heiress Patty Hearst. Previously, I took a look at Abduction, a grindhouse film that was released while Hearst was still missing, and 1988's Patty Hearst, which was based on Hearst's own book about her ordeal. However, Guerrilla is different from those two films in that it's a documentary and it features interviews with people who actually knew Patty and her kidnappers.
It's a strange and complicated story, the type that you would probably be dismissed as implausible if not for the fact that it actually happened. In 1973, Oakland school superintendent Marcus Foster was gunned down in a parking lot. Because Foster was the first black man to held the position of superintendent, it was originally assumed that he had been gunned down by a racist paramilitary group. However, a neo-Marxist group known as the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) soon took responsibility for the murder, claiming that Foster had been tried in a people's court and sentenced to death for his crimes. (Foster's "crime" was apparently trying to introduce ID cards in Oakland schools.)
Who were the SLA? They were a small group of self-styled revolutionaries. Though their leader was a black, escaped convict named Donald DeFreeze, the other members of the SLA were white and largely middle class. They enjoyed sending out portentous political announcements and they went out of their way to try to portray themselves as being a highly disciplined and regimented military organization. Donald DeFreeze changed his name to "Field Marshal Cinque." According to the interviews in Guerrilla, most of their fellow radicals viewed the SLA as being a joke. (One contemporary expresses his disappointment in meeting the SLA and discovering that they were all very boring and middle class.) No one could understand the logic behind murdering Foster, who was viewed as being a progressive educator.
If not for what happened in the months after Foster's murder, the SLA probably would have faded into the same obscurity that has swallowed up so many activist groups. After two members of the group were arrested, the SLA retaliated by kidnapping Patty Hearst.
At the time that she was abducted, Patty Hearst was a nineteen year-old student at Berkeley. She was also the granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst, the publishing magnate whose life famously inspired the film Citizen Kane. With the entire world now watching, the SLA announced that Patty would be executed unless the Hearst family arranged for every poor person in California to receive $70 worth of food. As is portrayed in cringe-inducing detail in the documentary, the Hearst family actually attempted to meet the SLA's demands, just to watch the food distribution program descend into chaos. As for the SLA, they were not impressed by the Hearst family's effort. Even more tellingly, Patty was not impressed. In a recording sent to the press, Patty complained that her family hadn't made enough of an effort and assured everyone that the SLA was treating her in accordance to international law.
Shortly afterwards, the SLA released another recording. In this recording, Patty announced that she had been given the option of either returning to her family or joining the SLA. She had decided to join the SLA and take the new name of Tania. Soon, Patty Hearst was robbing banks and declaring "death to the fascist insect."
Was Patty sincere in her conversion or was she brainwashed? That's the question that Guerrilla explores, while leaving it to the audience to decide for themselves what was actually going on in Patty's mind. Though Patty is not interviewed in the film, we do get to hear the recordings that she made during her time with the SLA. We listen as she goes from being a sacred abductee to a self-declared "urban guerrilla." Listening to her dull, flat voice, you get the feeling that she didn't have much of an individual identity before she was kidnapped and she had even less of one after she converts to the SLA cause. When she talks about how much she loves the other members of the SLA, she sounds like an actress giving a bad audition. Before she was kidnapped, she was a Hearst. After she was kidnapped, she was a revolutionary. At no point do you get the feeling that she was ever just Patty.
It's an interesting story and Guerrilla is a fascinating documentary, one that explores how idealism can sometimes be just as dangerous as cynicism. It's also a film that explores how the kidnapping of an heiress received more attention than the murder of a teacher. It's interesting to note that, while the other members of the SLA eventually ended up either dead or in prison, Patty Hearst ended up getting a full pardon from Bill Clinton. It's hard not to feel that the story would have been much different if the SLA had kidnapped Jane Smith instead of Patty Hearst.

Film Review: Patty Hearst (dir by Paul Schrader)
The 1988 film, Patty Hearst, is based on a fascinating true story.
In 1974, newspaper heiress Patty Hearst was a 19 year-old student at Berkeley who was kidnapped from her apartment by a group of self-styled leftist revolutionaries known as the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA). The SLA was led by a charismatic escaped prisoner who called himself Field Marshal Cinque and who announced — via messages that Hearst read into a tape recorder — that Hearst was being held hostage in the name of social justice. The police and FBI spent several months unsuccessfully searching for Hearst until one day, the SLA released an audio tape in which Hearst announced that she had now joined the SLA and would now be known as Tania. Hearst was soon robbing banks and went from being a hostage to a wanted criminal. When she was arrested in 1975, Hearst claimed to have been brainwashed by the SLA and people still debate whether she was a sincere revolutionary, a calculating criminal, or a victim.
(From what I've read about the Hearst kidnapping, I guess the modern day equivalent would be if Kendall Jenner disappeared and then resurfaced in Portland, setting cars on fire with Antifa.)
What can said for sure is that, after being arrested and convicted of bank robbery, Patty Hearst was sentenced to 7 years in prison. Hearst served less than three years before her sentence was commuted by President Jimmy Carter. Twenty years later, another President — Bill Clinton — gave her a full pardon. Needless to say, the rest of the SLA did not receive a pardon or, for that matter, even a commutation. The majority of them, including Field Marshal Cinque, died in a fiery explosion that came at the climax of a gun battle with police. The rest were arrested, convicted, and ended up serving their full sentences. Of course, while the majority of the SLA came from middle and upper middle class backgrounds, only one of them was the heir to a fortune. When she was arrested, Patty may have given her career as being an "urban guerilla," but ultimately, she was the granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst.
(Regardless of whether you believe Patty Hearst was brainwashed or not, it's an undeniable fact that it's easier to be a revolutionary when you know you won't face any serious consequences if the revolution eventually fails. If the members of the SLA were around today, they could just spend their time on twitter, retweeting John Fugelsang's thoughts on Jesus. But, in 1974, there was no twitter…)
Based on Every Secret Thing, Hearst's own account of her kidnapping and subsequent life as a fugitive, Patty Hearst opens with the heiress (played by Natasha Richardson) being kidnapped and held prisoner by the SLA. For the first fourth of the film, we see everything exclusively through Patty's eyes. She spends her days locked in a dark closet that's so tiny that she can barely stand. Whenever the door is opened, shafts a bright light flood both the closet and the screen, blinding not only Patty but the audience as well. At first, Patty cannot even see the faces of the people who have kidnapped her. All she knows are their voices. Whenever that door opens, neither Patty nor the viewer knows whether she's going to fed, berated, comforted, or raped. All four of them happen to her, several times over the course of her time in that closet. It's harrowing to watch, all the more so because Natasha Richardson gives such an empathetic and bravely vulnerable performance as Patty. When Patty is finally allowed to leave that closet, the audience is almost thankful as she is. And, when Patty gets out of the closet, the look of the film changes as well. It goes from being darkly lit to almost garishly colorful. Patty's entire world has changed.
The first part of the film is so powerful that it's not surprising that the rest of Patty Hearst suffers by comparison. Once Patty gets out of the closet and declares her allegiance to the revolution, she becomes a bit of a dead-eyed zombie and the focus naturally shifts to the rest of the SLA. Ving Rhames gives a powerful performance as Cinque, the head of the SLA. Cinque may be a passionate revolutionary but he also has a dangerous messianic streak. Even worse, the film suggests, is Cinque's lieutenant, Teko (William Forsythe). Teko claims to be a revolutionary but ultimately reveals himself to be as much of a misogynist as those who he claims to oppose. (Today, Teko would probably be one of those guys arguing that it's okay for him to use the C word because he's an "ally.") Whereas Cinque has no doubt about his revolutionary commitment, Teko always seem to be trying to prove something to everyone, especially himself.
Ultimately, Patty becomes almost a bystander to her own story. For a time, she is the most famous bystander in the country. Though the film is sympathetic to Patty, Natasha Richardson plays her with just a hint of ambiguity. Ultimately, Patty comes across as someone desperately searching for an identity. Since she is not sure who she ultimately is, it's easy for Patty to become an "urban guerilla" and it's just as easy for to her go back to being an heiress. By the end of the film, it's obvious that Patty is just as confused by her life as everyone else.
Patty Hearst was directed by Paul Schrader, who is best known for writing the scripts for such films as Taxi Driver and Rolling Thunder. (Among Schrader's other directorial credits: Blue Collar, Hardcore, American Gigolo, Cat People, and The Canyons. Needless to say, he's had an interesting career.) In many ways, Patty Hearst is probably more relevant today than it was first released. Considering that our culture is currently dominated by people pretending to be revolutionaries and celebrities famous solely for being famous, Patty Hearst feels rather prophetic.
Watching this film and experiencing Patty's transformation from vapid heiress to brainwashed political activist to briefly notorious celebrity, I realized that we now live in a world of Patty Hearsts.

The Daily Grindhouse: Abduction (dir. by Joseph Zito)
Before I went on vacation, I searched through my film collection and I found a banged-up VHS tape that I had ordered off of Amazon a while back. I had been inspired to order the tape because it contained a movie based on a true crime case that I was oddly obsessed with at that time. However, as is typical with my obsessions, I had pretty much lost interest by the time the movie actually showed up on my doorstep. Hence, that tape sat unwatched until last week when I finally curled up on my couch and watched it.
Released in 1975, Abduction is an example of the "Ripped-From-The-Headlines" genre of grindhouse filmmaking. These films specialized in taking sordid true stories and giving them an even more sordid cinematic interpretation. They were often advertised as the film that would tell you "the shocking true story!" or "the story that they don't want you to know." Despite a disclaimer at the beginning of the film that informs us that any resemblance to anyone living or dead is "purely coincidental," Abducted tells us "the shocking true story!" behind the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst.
In 1974, newspaper heiress Patty Hearst was a 19 year-old student at Berkeley who was kidnapped from her apartment by a group of left-wing revolutionaries known as the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA). The SLA was led by a charismatic escaped prisoner who called himself Field Marshal Cinque and who announced — via a messages that Hearst read into a tape recorder — that Hearst was being held hostage in the name of social justice. The police and FBI spent several months unsuccessfully searching for Hearst until one day, the SLA released an audio tape in which Hearst announced that she had now joined the SLA and wanted to be known as Tania. Hearst was soon robbing banks and went from being a hostage to a wanted criminal. When she was arrested in 1975, Hearst claimed to have been brainwashed by the SLA and people still debate whether she was a sincere revolutionary, a calculating criminal, or just a weak-willed victim.
One of the more fascinating aspects of the Hearst case is that, a year before Hearst was kidnapped, a book called The Black Abductor was released. The Black Abductor tells the story of an heiress named Patricia who is kidnapped by a group of left-wing revolutionaries led by a charismatic escaped prisoner and who eventually decides to join with her violent captors. No one was sure who actually wrote the book (though it was credited to a "Harrison Chase") and the FBI apparently investigated whether or not the book had been used as a blue print for the actual kidnapping.
(I actually have a copy of the Black Abductor. I found it in the nostalgia section of Half-Price Books, mixed in with the usual collection of detective novels, westerns, and tv novelizations. I squealed a little when I recognized the title and wow, did I ever get the strangest look at the front register when I paid for it. The book itself is actually pretty boring.)
Abduction, probably in order to avoid a lawsuit from the Hearst family, is officially based on the novel Black Abduction and not the kidnapping of Patty Hearst. That said, the movie (which was released after Hearst had robbed her first bank but before she was arrested) is totally about the kidnapping of Patty Hearst.
In Abduction, Hearst is called Patricia Prescott and her father is no longer in the newspaper business. Instead, he's a real estate developer who is planning to destroy the ghetto and replace it with high-income housing. Patricia (played by Judith-Marie Beragan) is kidnapped and her older boyfriend is beaten up by a group of revolutionaries. Patricia is held prisoner in a barren apartment and, in a disturbingly clinical scene, is raped (and filmed) by both the group's leader (an escaped prisoner, of course) and a female member of the group. Scenes of Patricia being slowly brainwashed are intercut with scenes of a brutal FBI agent beating up liberal grad students and Patricia's parents (played by Hollywood veterans Leif Erickson and Dorothy Malone) obsessively watching video tapes of their daughter being sexually assaulted.
Abduction is one of those low-budget, relentlessly sordid films that really can't stand on its own as a work of art but, never the less, remains a fascinating portrait of the time that it was made. In true exploitation fashion, the film is deliberately made to appeal to both sides of the cultural divide. When the FBI agent played by Lawrence Tierney is seen smirking as his partner smacks around a smug leftist, the filmmakers are both appealing to the paranoia of the liberals and providing wish fulfilment for the right. By the same token, when Patricia stands in a doorway with a smoking shotgun in her hands, it's an image that's calculated to be empowering, erotic, and frightening all at the same time. Like many grindhouse film, Abduction might not be a great (or even good) film but as a reflection of the psyche of the times that produced it, it's an invaluable document.

Poll: Tell Lisa Marie What To Watch Next Sunday
Posted on August 14, 2011 by Lisa Marie Bowman
So, guess what I did earlier today? That's right — I put on a blindfold, a stumbled over to my ever-growing DVD, Blu-ray. and even VHS collection and I randomly selected 12 films!
I did it so you, the beloved readers of Through the Shattered Lens, could once again have a chance to tell me what to do. At the end of this post, you'll find a poll. Hopefully, between now and next Sunday (that's August 21st), a few of you will take the time to vote for which of these 12 films I should watch and review. I will then watch the winner on Sunday and post my review on Monday night. In short, I'm putting the power to dominate in your hands. Just remember: with great power comes great … well, you know how it goes.
Here are the 12 films that I randomly selected this afternoon:
Abduction — From 1975, this soft-core grindhouse film is based on the real-life abduction of Patty Hearst and was made while Hearst was still missing. Supposedly, the FBI ended up investigating director Joseph Zito to make sure he wasn't involved in the actual kidnapping.
Aguirre, The Wrath of God — From director Werner Herzog and star Klaus Kinski comes this story about a Spanish conquistador who fights a losing battle against the Amazon.
Black Caesar — In one of the most succesful of the 70s blaxploitation films, Fred Williamson takes over the Harlem drug trade and battles the mafia.
Don't Look Now — Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie are a married couple who attempt to deal with the death of their daughter by going to Venice, Italy. Christie quickly falls in with two blind psychics while Sutherland pursues a ghostly figure in a red raincoat through Venice. Directed by Nicolas Roeg.
The Lion In Winter — From 1968, this best picture nominee stars Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn as King Henry II and his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine. Taking place on Christmas Eve, Henry and Eleanor debate which one of their useless sons will take over a king of England. This film is also the feature debut of both Anthony Hopkins and Timothy Dalton.
Logan's Run — From 1976, this sci-fi film features Michael York and Jenny Agutter as two future hedonists seeking Sanctuary and instead finding Peter Ustinov and a bunch of cats. Filmed in my hometown of Dallas.
Lost Highway — From director David Lynch comes this 1997 film about … well, who knows for sure what it's about? Bill Pullman may or may not have killed Patricia Arquette and he may or may not end up changing into Balthazar Getty.
Mystic River — From director Clint Eastwood comes this film about murder, guilt, redemption, and suspicion in working-class Boston. Starring Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon, and Tim Robbins.
Naked Massacre — From 1976, this stark film is something a grindhouse art film. It takes the true life story of Chicago mass murderer Richard Speck and transfers the action to Belfast. Also known as Born for Hell.
Night of the Creeps — From 1986, this film features alien slugs that turn an entire college campus into a breeding ground for frat boy zombies. Tom Atkins gets to deliver the classic line: "Well don't go out there…"
Petulia — Considered by many to be one of the best American films ever made and one of the definitive films of the 60s, Petulia tells the story of a divorced doctor (George C. Scott) who enters into an odd relationship with Julie Christie. Directed by Richard Lester, this film also stars Joseph Cotten, Richard Chamberlain, and the Grateful Dead.
What Have You Done To Solange? — From 1975, What Have You Done To Solange is a classic giallo that features dream-like murders, disturbing subtext, and one of the best musical scores of all time.
So, there's your 12 films. Vote once, vote often, have fun, and I await your decision.
Voting will be open until Sunday, August 21st.

Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (e-CFR)
Title 26 - Internal Revenue
CHAPTER I - INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
SUBCHAPTER A - INCOME TAX
PART 1 - INCOME TAXES
rules for computing credit for expenses of work incentive programs
§ 1.346-1 Partial liquidation.
26 CFR § 1.346-1 - Partial liquidation.
(a) General. This section defines a partial liquidation. If amounts are distributed in partial liquidation such amounts are treated under section 331(a)(2) as received in part or full payment in exchange for the stock. A distribution is treated as in partial liquidation of a corporation if:
(1) The distribution is one of a series of distributions in redemption of all of the stock of the corporation pursuant to a plan of complete liquidation, or
(2) The distribution:
(i) Is not essentially equivalent to a dividend,
(ii) Is in redemption of a part of the stock of the corporation pursuant to a plan, and
(iii) Occurs within the taxable year in which the plan is adopted or within the succeeding taxable year.
An example of a distribution which will qualify as a partial liquidation under subparagraph (2) of this paragraph and section 346(a) is a distribution resulting from a genuine contraction of the corporate business such as the distribution of unused insurance proceeds recovered as a result of a fire which destroyed part of the business causing a cessation of a part of its activities. On the other hand, the distribution of funds attributable to a reserve for an expansion program which has been abandoned does not qualify as a partial liquidation within the meaning of section 346(a). A distribution to which section 355 applies (or so much of section 356 as relates to section 355) is not a distribution in partial liquidation within the meaning of section 346(a).
(b) Special requirements on termination of business. A distribution which occurs within the taxable year in which the plan is adopted or within the succeeding taxable year and which meets the requirements of subsection (b) of section 346 falls within paragraph (a)(2) of this section and within section 346(a)(2). The requirements which a distribution must meet to fall within subsection (b) of section 346 are:
(1) Such distribution is attributable to the corporation's ceasing to conduct, or consists of assets of, a trade or business which has been actively conducted throughout the five-year period immediately before the distribution, which trade or business was not acquired by the corporation within such period in a transaction in which gain or loss was recognized in whole or in part, and
(2) Immediately after such distribution by the corporation it is actively engaged in the conduct of a trade or business, which trade or business was actively conducted throughout the five-year period ending on the date of such distribution and was not acquired by the corporation within such period in a transaction in which gain or loss was recognized in whole or in part.
A distribution shall be treated as having been made in partial liquidation pursuant to section 346(b) if it consists of the proceeds of the sale of the assets of a trade or business which has been actively conducted for the five-year period and has been terminated, or if it is a distribution in kind of the assets of such a business, or if it is a distribution in kind of some of the assets of such a business and of the proceeds of the sale of the remainder of the assets of such a business. In general, a distribution which will qualify under section 346(b) may consist of, but is not limited to:
(i) Assets (other than inventory or property described in subdivision (ii) of this subparagraph) used in the trade or business throughout the five-year period immediately before the distribution (for this purpose an asset shall be considered used in the trade or business during the period of time the asset which it replaced was so used), or
(ii) Proceeds from the sale of assets described in subdivision (i) of this subparagraph, and, in addition,
(iii) The inventory of such trade or business or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, if:
(a) The items constituting such inventory or such property were substantially similar to the items constituting such inventory or property during the five-year period immediately before the distribution, and
(b) The quantity of such items on the date of distribution was not substantially in excess of the quantity of similar items regularly on hand in the conduct of such business during such five-year period, or
(iv) Proceeds from the sale of inventory or property described in subdivision (iii) of this subparagraph, if such inventory or property is sold in bulk in the course of termination of such trade or business and if with respect to such inventory the conditions of subdivision (iii)(a) and (b) of this subparagraph would have been met had such inventory or property been distributed on the date of such sale.
(c) Active conduct of a trade or business. For the purpose of section 346(b)(1), a corporation shall be deemed to have actively conducted a trade or business immediately before the distribution, if:
(1) In the case of a business the assets of which have been distributed in kind, the business was operated by such corporation until the date of distribution, or
(2) In the case of a business the proceeds of the sale of the assets of which are distributed, such business was actively conducted until the date of sale and the proceeds of such sale were distributed as soon thereafter as reasonably possible.
The term active conduct of a trade or business shall have the same meaning in this section as in paragraph (c) of § 1.355-1.
