The Broderick Tower went from being "a beauty by day—a jewel by night" to the third-tallest abandoned building in the United States — and has become a towering symbol of Detroit's rebirth.
One of the city's most recognizable buildings, the skyscraper opened in 1927 as the Eaton Tower, named for what was then one of Detroit's most recognizable families. Theodore H. Eaton came to Detroit in 1838 and invested his savings in a run-down drug store that had folded in the Panic of 1837. At the time, Detroit was just an out-of-the-way frontier town of about eight thousand, but the 23-year-old Eaton had pioneering in his blood: He was a direct descendant of Thomas Eaton, who helped settle the New World in 1660.
Eaton bought the Riley and Ackerly drug store in the American Hotel block, located at Jefferson and Randolph near where the city's landmark Renaissance Center is today. A few years later, the building housing his store burned down. He moved into new quarters only to lose that one to fire, too. But Eaton would not be deterred and erected himself a warehouse at Woodward and Atwater — and this time he built it fireproof.
The building served as his company's headquarters until 1927, when booming business forced it to move into bigger quarters at Franklin and Riopelle, near Chene Park. Eaton's bet on Detroit paid off. He stockpiled paints, soaps and other supplies for the ships that came sailing into Detroit, often staying open late into the night as to not miss a ship coming in, the Detroit Free Press noted in 1953.
Eaton adapted his firm to Detroit's changing business climate. As wool mills opened in the city, Eaton started selling them chemicals, dyes and machinery. He taught his son, Theodore H. Eaton Jr., the family trade and how to be a traveling salesman. The company would grow into a major manufacturer and distributor. The senior Eaton was among the city's elites, "an imposing figure, riding home from work evenings on a white horse," the Free Press wrote. He even helped organize the city's first gas company and stayed in the business for 50 years. His son ran things for 51 more and oversaw the company's switch to selling dry-cleaning supplies and heavy chemicals for the city's booming auto industry. But it was Berrien C. Eaton, the grandson of the company's founder, who would build a lasting monument to his family's legacy.
Berrien Eaton took over the company in 1920 and also was a trustee of the Eaton estate. His father had bought the site of the Broderick on May 25, 1904, then home to the Gladwin Building, a six-story structure built in 1896. The parcel is located on the southeastern corner of Grand Circus Park and Woodward Avenue, the city's main thoroughfare. Before the Gladwin — originally a three-story structure called the Cullen Brown Building — the land had been home to everything from the Grand Circus Hotel to Turkish baths.
On July 10, 1926, Berrien Eaton announced that the Eaton estate would raze the Gladwin and build a 34-story, classically inspired shaft with elaborate Baroque-style ornamentation at the top. The family tapped architect Louis Kamper, the man behind the Book-Cadillac Hotel, Book Tower and other Detroit landmarks, for the job. His son Paul L. Kamper served as associate architect. The tab for the building came in at about $1.75 million (about $21.5 million today, when adjusted for inflation).
Work started on the 370-foot behemoth of Indiana limestone on Sept. 1, 1926, and was considered the first step in developing the eastern Grand Circus Park area as a shopping and office building district. The building "will be a landmark worthy of Detroit and the street on which it stands," the Detroit News wrote in December 1926.
It had retail stores and shops on the first five floors. The rest was for small businesses and professional offices. Tenants included lawyers, accountants, a dozen barbershops and dozens more medical offices, such as the Tower Dental Laboratory. "At one time, there were so many doctor's offices that it was practically a medical center," the Free Press recalled in January 1970. Radio station WJLB was housed in the tower.
The building was full of marble wainscoting. Its lobby featured black marble with white streaks. The lobby's slender but ornate and barreled ceiling led clients to the five elevators that would zip them above the bustling streets below. The elevator doors were made of bronze and featured reliefs of Zeus riding in a chariot wielding fists full of lightning bolts. An interesting side note: The tower is actually in a shape resembling a parallelogram to fit the odd-shaped lot.
The prime location and soaring height enabled the building to do well through the decades. On July 1, 1944, the tower was sold for an undisclosed price to Intertown Corp., headed by insurance broker David F. Broderick. Broderick moved his business offices into the building and renamed the Eaton after himself. He converted the thirty-third floor into a suite with which to entertain his friends and business associates. The entrance had a little peek hole and a brass knocker engraved "Sky Top Club." Broderick died in 1957, but "until his death he was rather fond of the place, and with good reason," Free Press columnist Louis Cook wrote in April 1969. In the early 1950s, the ground level of the Broderick became the home of the Flaming Embers restaurant, a Woodward Avenue institution for more than four decades where patrons could watch chefs flip steaks like flapjacks and pound down potatoes.
In September 1966, the Broderick family sold the building for an undisclosed sum to an investment company, Eldan Properties. The property was assessed at $1 million ($6.72 million). But by this point the building was starting to show its age, and Eldan quickly turned around and sold it in April 1969 to George Fleischer and Bernard Glieberman for more than $1 million (about $6 million today). "We bought a slum building in a good area," Fleischer told the Free Press in January 1970. Most downtown office buildings still boasted 90% occupancy rates, but the Broderick was at about 70% at the time. They set out to reinvent the building "and the very first thing we did was raise the rents," Fleischer told the Free Press in 1970. They also embarked on a remodeling project, installing drop ceilings, air conditioning and fluorescent lighting, and replacing the building's plumbing and roof. "We don't subscribe to the theory that downtown Detroit is dying," Fleischer said. But he couldn't have been any more wrong.
Businessman Michael Higgins and a group of investors acquired the building in 1976 and has owned it ever since. In the early 1980s, as the city continued to bleed commercial tenants, the building struggled to hold onto business. Most of its doctors had moved their offices to the suburbs, leaving cubicle after cubicle of examining rooms behind. The exodus became like a cancer; whereas the practitioners had all benefited from the one-stop-medical shopping, once many had left, the rest followed.
In the mid-'70s, Higgins was investing in several major downtown buildings while others were abandoning the city. "You might say in retrospect that he was making the wrong bets and they were making the right ones," said Fred J. Beal, president of JC Beal Construction, which is working to redevelop the Broderick.
Some time in the mid-1980s, Higgins reclaimed the Broderick, making good on the taxes, but the building was limping along at about the break-even point with 40% to 50% vacancy. Higgins was approached by an investor who bought the building on a land contract and planned to convert the building from office space into residential spaces. The new owner encouraged the remaining office tenants to leave while planning their project, which never came to fruition, and the building reverted to the Higgins group under the terms of the land contract. But because of letting the tenants leave, the building was empty other than the first-floor restaurant space -– and has remained vacant ever since 1985.
On Oct. 11, 1991, the Witherell Corp., of which Higgins was vice president, filed for Chapter 11 reorganization, owing $75,000 in unpaid utilities among other debts. After the bankruptcy, Higgins retained ownership of the building and continued to seek a plan to renovate the Broderick.
The Flaming Embers closed in September 1993 after 41 years, citing a dispute with city health inspectors over the restaurant's exhaust system. "I'm heartbroken," founder Florence Singer, then living in New York, told the Free Press at the time. "Forty-one years of my life is going down the drain. We have employees who have been there 17, 18 years. This is a gross injustice." The once hopping hot spot had become a victim of downtown Detroit's decline itself, turning into something of a poor man's Ponderosa, featuring $3.99 all-you-can-eat steak dinners. Higgins bought the name and liquor license and reopened it the following March, though it didn't stay open for long.
For years, the building sat empty and vandalized, with senseless graffiti dotting the marble along its corridors and plaster walls relieved of their plumbing. On many of the Broderick's 34 floors, time had stood still: a dentist chair covered in paint chips; drawers full of fake smiles from a dental supply company; a Graphotype machine coated in dust on a desk; bottles of liquid lining shelves, their labels too faded to make out their contents.
But compared with many other abandoned landmarks downtown, the Broderick was in surprisingly good shape. Despite its many windows left ajar, making it the world's largest pigeon coop, the Broderick had been better secured than many of its forlorn brethren. The building's skinny lobby with a barreled-ceiling remained in great shape. While water damage destroyed much of the opulence in the Book-Cadillac before it was renovated in 2008, for example, the Broderick was mostly just cluttered with junk.
The building's four loggias have balconies that provide dramatic views of the city below. The Detroit River and blinking orb atop the Penobscot Building are to the south; fireworks at Comerica Park after Tigers games explode below; Michigan Central Station sits quietly to the west. It is near one of these balconies that David Broderick had a bar installed so he could entertain and dazzle guests with the sights of a then-thriving metropolis.
Artist Robert Wyland, who grew up in nearby Madison Heights, Mich., painted a 108-foot mural of humpback whales on the Broderick's windowless eastern wall. The piece, titled "Whale Tower," took three and a half days to complete, was dedicated Oct. 13, 1997, and became something of an icon downtown. Wyland, who has painted dozens of whale murals around the world, called the piece on the Broderick a gift to the city designed to draw attention to the plight of saving humpback whales.
In 1995, the Detroit Tigers announced they would build a new baseball stadium near the Broderick northeast of Grand Circus Park. Real estate deals started happening left and right and Higgins said he planned to dust off the Broderick and turn it into a hundred lofts and a three-story nightclub and remodel the restaurant space. "A lot of younger, single people will be wanting to live downtown, and lofts are an idea I think they would like," Higgins told the Free Press in March 1997. "Putting in that number of units, we need to have a market there, and there definitely will be a big market at that point." The work was to be finished by summer 1999 but never materialized.
Three years later, Detroit was experiencing euphoria over the city's rebirth, with Compuware building its world headquarters downtown, the Detroit Tigers opening a new ballpark and the renovation of Campus Martius park. Another developer approached Higgins about renovating the building into residential space, but the plan hit financial snags like those before it. Likewise, in 2005, there was another plan for 125 loft units and four stories of commercial space that was to be completed in 2008.
On July 30, 2006, a huge vinyl ad was placed over the Wyland mural, causing a considerable public outcry, especially from the artist. The Broderick's location towering over the right field of Comerica Park made it an attractive spot for Chrysler to pitch its Jeep Compass. It was made clear that the ad would be suspended over the mural and would not damage the art.
"The message it sends is money can override any public artwork," Wyland told the Free Press that August. "It's shameful. Shame, shame, shame on Chrysler." The Broderick's owners had to appeal the Historic District Commission's decision to not allow the advertisement. But ultimately, the whale mural was deemed to not be historically appropriate and therefore could be covered. The wall has since been used for various ads, from Verizon Wireless to Jeep. Beal said 100% of the ad revenue has gone toward the building's redevelopment costs, paying for such things as architectural drawings, environmental studies and tax credit consultation.
Despite the setbacks, Beal and Higgins have kept trying and in May 2010, they said they planned to start work on a $55 million redevelopment project that would feature nearly 130 residential units— including bi-level units— and four floors of offices. What makes Beal confident the current project will be met with success? In addition to the standard historic tax credits, they have received an additional State of Michigan Special Consideration Historic Tax Credit worth $7 million, and "that made the numbers work," Beal said.
Motown Construction Partners announced Dec. 21, 2010, that project financing had been secured and work began shortly after on reviving the 34-story Broderick, which had sat empty and dark since 1988.
The renovation saw the Broderick's owners, Kraemer Design Group and the construction team working together for more than seven years from initial design until completion. In that time, the entire interior of the tower was gutted save for the lobby, which saw the coffered ceiling and black marble restored. "The residences themselves set a new standard for downtown Detroit apartment living with large energy efficient windows, tiled floors throughout, original restored plaster, and unparalleled views of the city," the Kraemer Group said.
The $50-million project wrapped up in October 2012 - only one month after the expected completion time.
The Broderick officially reopened its doors Nov. 3, 2012. Nearly 50 residents moved into the reborn building over its first weekend, and 100% of the apartment units were leased prior to the grand opening. The 125 apartments range from 422-square-foot studios to 2,200-square-foot penthouses.
It is a new life for one of Detroit's long-neglected treasures.
Kraemer Design Group contributed to the reporting on this history.

Catholic school to close after more than 100 years in St. Paul
Enrollment has dwindled over the years for St. Mark's School.
Adam Uren
After more than 100 years in St. Paul, St. Mark's Catholic School will not welcome new students this coming September.
The school at 1983 Dayton Ave. opened in 1913, but is eliminating grades K-8 in the 2019-20 school year, with only its preschool remaining operational.
In an announcement on its website, Father Humberto Palomino said that as recently as five years ago it had an enrollment of 179, but this coming year it was projected to be as little as 32 students.
"The parish has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to make up the difference between tuition and the true cost of educating the students," he said.
"Each of you can be certain that we have done our best, as a parish, to promote and support the good of Catholic education. Unfortunately, the parish no longer has the money to continue to fund the school as it operates now."
Seventeen positions have been cut at the school as a result.
The aim for St. Mark's Church is to now build up its early-childhood classes, which Palomino notes has seen "excellent enrollment."

title: Create Your Own Public Slack Chat Community with Slackin
tags: [community, tips, slack]
image: '/images/posts/slack/slakin-banner.png'
---

I was looking to create a Slack channel for [Aspire Themes](https://aspirethemes.com/?utm_source=medium&utm_medium=articles) where I and my customers can discuss, share, and get fast support with Slack. The one thing I worried about is how anyone can get an invitation and join the channel easily.

I found [Slackin](https://github.com/rauchg/slackin) to be a great solution, it creates a public landing page for users to fill their email to receive a Slack invitation.

![Slakin](/images/posts/slack/slakin-banner.png)

#### Prepare Slack

* Create a new team on [Slack](https://slack.com/).
* Create a new [API token](https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/215770388-Create-and-regenerate-API-tokens) to the team.

#### Deployment

* Install the [Now](https://zeit.co/download#command-line) command line interface for with NPM.

{% highlight shell %}
npm install -g now
{% endhighlight %}

Next, from the command line, use the following [command](https://github.com/rauchg/slackin#usage) to deploy [Slackin](https://github.com/rauchg/slackin) to [ZEIT](https://zeit.co/), using the API token and the team name you early created.

{% highlight shell %}
now -e SLACK_API_TOKEN="<token>" -e SLACK_SUBDOMAIN="<team-name>" now-examples/slackin
{% endhighlight %}

<figure markdown='1'>
![Deploy to ZEIT](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*Jdu14gnFx5vvGGOO6FrTyQ.png)
</figure>

That's all you need to do, and once the app is deployed, a new URL ([example](https://now-examples-slackin-hzqfnemqkc.now.sh/)) for the landing page will be created and ready to share.

1. **Landing Page** (***[Demo](http://now-examples-slackin-hzqfnemqkc.now.sh/)***)

<figure markdown='1'>

2. **Badge** (***[Demo](http://now-examples-slackin-hzqfnemqkc.now.sh/badge.svg)***)

![Slakin Badge](/images/posts/slack/slakin-badge.jpg)

3. **[Realtime Subscription](https://github.com/rauchg/slackin#realtime-demo)** ***([Demo](https://jsbin.com/xoqoxaleke/edit?output)***)

<figcaption markdown='1'>
Image [Credit](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/slackin-2#comment-87632)
</figcaption>
</figure>

The landing page URL will be similar to [now-examples-slackin-hzqfnemqkc.now.sh](https://now-examples-slackin-hzqfnemqkc.now.sh/), and of course, customizing this URL to a subdomain would be another great step. I think [ZITE Premium](https://zeit.co/now#pricing) enables custom domain support, for now, I created a Masked URL Redirect Record with [NameCheap](http://bit.ly/aspire-namecheap) and by doing this I can access the landing page from [slack.aspirethemes.com](http://slack.aspirethemes.com/)

<figure markdown='1'>
![Masked URL Redirect Record](/images/posts/slack/domain-redirect.png)

I hope this will help you create your next Slack Channel, and if there any tips or recommendations you like to share, I would be happy to hear and learn from you.

Secret Docs Reveal: President Trump Has Inherited an FBI With Vast Hidden Powers
The revealing, once-secret FBI documents The Intercept is today reporting on, and publishing, demonstrate why protecting press freedom is more critical than ever
Glenn Greenwald, Betsy Reed
President Trump has inherited a vast domestic intelligence agency with extraordinary secret powers. A cache of documents offers a rare window into the FBI's quiet expansion since 9/11. (Image: The Intercept)
In the wake of President Donald Trump's inauguration, the FBI assumes an importance and influence it has not wielded since J. Edgar Hoover's death in 1972. That is what makes today's batch of stories from The Intercept, The FBI's Secret Rules, based on a trove of long-sought confidential FBI documents, so critical: It shines a bright light on the vast powers of this law enforcement agency, particularly when it comes to its ability to monitor dissent and carry out a domestic war on terror, at the beginning of an era highly likely to be marked by vociferous protest and reactionary state repression.
"When married to Trump's clear disdain for domestic dissent — he venerates strongman authoritarians, called for a crackdown on free press protections, and suggested citizenship-stripping for flag-burning — the authorities vested in the FBI with regard to domestic political activism are among the most menacing threats Americans face."
In order to understand how the FBI makes decisions about matters such as infiltrating religious or political organizations, civil liberties advocates have sued the government for access to crucial FBI manuals — but thanks to a federal judiciary highly subservient to government interests, those attempts have been largely unsuccessful. Because their disclosure is squarely in the public interest, The Intercept is publishing this series of reports along with annotated versions of the documents we obtained.
Trump values loyalty to himself above all other traits, so it is surely not lost on him that few entities were as devoted to his victory, or played as critical a role in helping to achieve it, as the FBI. One of the more unusual aspects of the 2016 election, perhaps the one that will prove to be most consequential, was the covert political war waged between the CIA and FBI. While the top echelon of the CIA community was vehemently pro-Clinton, certain factions within the FBI were aggressively supportive of Trump. Hillary Clinton herself blames James Comey and his election-week letter for her defeat. Elements within the powerful New York field office were furious that Comey refused to indict Clinton, and embittered agents reportedly shoveled anti-Clinton leaks to Rudy Giuliani. The FBI's 35,000 employees across the country are therefore likely to be protected and empowered. Trump's decision to retain Comey — while jettisoning all other top government officials — suggests that this has already begun to happen.
When married to Trump's clear disdain for domestic dissent — he venerates strongman authoritarians, called for a crackdown on free press protections, and suggested citizenship-stripping for flag-burning — the authorities vested in the FBI with regard to domestic political activism are among the most menacing threats Americans face. Trump is also poised to expand the powers of law enforcement to surveil populations deemed suspicious and deny their rights in the name of fighting terrorism, as he has already done with his odious restrictions on immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries. Understanding how the federal government's law enforcement agency interprets the legal limits on its own powers is, in this context, more essential than ever.

They were made of silk and bamboo. They were designed to act like birds in the air with wings and color, especially the color red, which meant good luck. Some had whistles attached or strings that could be spun to make harmonious sounds. Some people even added bells to the string of their kite.
Why Were Kites Invented? Mainly, they were used for military purposes. The first kites were what we today would call prototype kites: they were made of light wood and cloth. They were designed to mimic a bird's natural flight.
Kites may date back as far as 3000 years, where they were made from bamboo and silk in China. Exactly how or when a kite was first flown is a mystery, but one legend suggests that when a Chinese farmer tied a string to his hat to keep it from blowing away in a strong wind, the first kite was born.

It is thought that the earliest use of kites was among the Chinese, approximately 2,800 years ago. The kite was said to be the invention of the famous 5th century BC Chinese philosophers Mozi and Lu Ban. By 549 AD, paper kites were being flown — in that year a paper kite was used as a message for a rescue mission.
Archibold, started using kites to lift anemometers to measure wind speed at various altitudes. Meteorological observatories around the world used kites to lift instruments thousands of feet into the air. This gave a great deal of information about the atmosphere, and vastly improved the weather forecasting of the time.
Though the exact origin of kites are not known, it is known that they were flown in China and the Malay Archipelago two to three thousand years ago. The earliest written accounts of kite flying were the exploits of the Chinese general Han Hsin, Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-220 A.D.).
Though kites were invented 2,500 years ago, probably in China, this type of kite fighting is said to have originated in India. The kites are made of simple colored tissue paper and bamboo.
Ancient and medieval Chinese sources describe kites being used for measuring distances, testing the wind, lifting men, signaling, and communication for military operations. The earliest known Chinese kites were flat (not bowed) and often rectangular.

The fact is that whether they have one or two wheels, wheelbarrows changed the world in small ways. They help us carry heavy loads easily and efficiently. Wheelbarrows were used in Ancient China, Greece and Rome.
China has been the source of many innovations, scientific discoveries and inventions. This includes the Four Great Inventions: papermaking, the compass, gunpowder, and printing (both woodblock and movable type).

Kites and everything associated with them (kite flying and kite fighting) are the most important symbols in the novel. Traditionally, kites symbolize both prophecy and fate, and both of these ideas can be applied to characters and events in The Kite Runner.

Le restaurant Lapérouse est un restaurant historique situé quai des Grands-Augustins dans le  de Paris.

Histoire

Origines
Le restaurant Lapérouse est situé dans un ancien hôtel particulier ayant appartenu à la fin du règne de Louis XIV à François Forget, vicomte puis comte de Bruillevert, grand maître des eaux et forêts. Il est habité un temps par le géographe Renou de Chauvigné, dit Jaillot, auteur d'une Histoire de Paris.

Racheté en 1766 par Lefèvre, limonadier du roi, ce lieu devient un marchand de vin qui prospère à la suite de la destruction face à lui du couvent des Grands-Augustins et la construction sur l'emplacement de ce dernier du marché de la Vallée, spécialisé dans le commerce de volailles et de gibiers. Ce restaurant, fréquenté par les mandataires du marché, leurs employés et leurs clients, acquiert une renommée par la qualité des mets servis et la création, selon une idée de Lefèvre, de salons discrets dans les chambres de domestiques du premier étage afin que, dans cette période peu sûre, chacun puisse y faire ses comptes dans la plus grande sécurité.

XIX siècle
Vers 1850, Jules Lapérouse en devient le nouveau propriétaire et change l'ornementation des petits salons particuliers désormais décorés de peintures et miroirs aux thèmes variés (littérature, amour, voyages). Il œuvre pour que l'établissement monte en gamme. Prisé par le Tout-Paris, le restaurant est alors fréquenté par de nombreuses personnalités, dont Maupassant, Zola, Musset, Hugo, Balzac, Offenbach, Clemenceau, Auguste Rodin ou encore Sarah Bernhardt. À l'époque, les clients y amènent leurs maîtresses, cocottes et autres demi-mondaines, telles Liane de Pougy et Caroline Otero. Pour vérifier que les bijoux que leurs amants leur offraient étaient des vrais, elles griffaient les miroirs du restaurant avec les pierres précieuses. Ces traces ont été conservées jusqu'à nos jours (dates, prénoms, cœurs entrelacés, etc.).

Lors de la Commune de Paris (1871), alors que les troupes versaillaises investissent Paris, les clients s'enfuient à la vue des soldats prenant d'assaut la barricade du pont Neuf. Le communard Maxime Vuillaume a juste le temps de laisser un billet de cent francs pour payer l'addition mais s'enfuit ; neuf ans plus tard, il viendra réclamer sa monnaie, qu'on lui refusera car le propriétaire avait changé.

XX siècle

Au XX siècle, trois générations de la famille Topolinski dirigent le restaurant, le fils Topolinski étant même qualifié du titre de « grand maître cuisinier » pour les soufflés et les rognons de veau du Lapérouse. Le chef Frier participe aussi à la poursuite de la renommée du lieu, grâce à plusieurs de ses plats, comme les « soles clapotantes », le « caneton espiègle » ou encore la « bécasse du Navigateur », nommée d'après un hôtel voisin.

En 1910, pendant la crue de la Seine, l'eau atteint le haut du comptoir du rez-de-chaussée. Plus tôt, on a cependant pris soin d'évacuer les bouteilles de la cave. Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, cette même cave sert d'abri pour se protéger des bombes allemandes et alliées.

Les clients sont toujours aussi prestigieux, comme Marcel Proust qui y fait la cour à Laure Hayman (et dont il s'inspira pour créer le personnage d'Odette dans La Recherche, la faisant habiter rue La Pérouse, Hayman elle-même habitant cette rue), Jean Cocteau qui raconte être venu s'y saouler avec Roland Garros, Henriette Caillaux qui se fait livrer des plats depuis Lapérouse à la prison Saint-Lazare où elle est incarcérée pour avoir assassiné le patron du Figaro, le duc de Windsor et Wallis Simpson qui font tapisser leur salon de cierges volés à l'église Saint-Séverin voisine, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir et Albert Camus qui après le repas rejoignent Pablo Picasso à son domicile, 7 rue des Grands-Augustins, Frédéric Joliot-Curie, Albert Einstein, Georges Mandel, Charles de Gaulle, Georges Pompidou, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, François Mitterrand, Jacques Chirac, l'Aga Khan III et son épouse Yvette Labrousse ou encore l'empereur du Japon Hirohito durant sa visite officielle en France en 1971. Certains Immortels prisent aussi l'endroit, l'Académie française étant à côté.

En 1933, le restaurant décroche sa troisième étoile au Guide Michelin puis la perd en 1969. Topolinski réagit à la nouvelle en affirmant en avoir eu le . Dans un article de 1958, le New Yorker avait déjà pointé l'âge élevé des serveurs, tout comme les clients que le magazine jugeait . En 1969, le New York Times est aussi le témoin de cette baisse de réputation, notant que « Lapérouse perd de son lustre », à l'heure où la nouvelle cuisine commence à poindre.

En 1974, Topolinski quitte la direction du restaurant, bientôt remplacé par le comédien Raymond Pellegrin et son épouse Gisèle Pascal. Suivront de nombreux propriétaires, précipitant la chute du restaurant. Et Vanity Fair de commenter : .

XXI siècle

En 2012, Jérôme Schabanel et Grégory Lentz deviennent les nouveaux propriétaires du restaurant puis, en 2018, Benjamin Patou, petit neveu de Jean Patou et entrepreneur dans le milieu de la nuit. Aidé de la décoratrice Laura Gonzalez et de Cordelia de Castellane, il fait restaurer les dix salons et la grande salle et s'entoure des chefs Jean-Pierre Vigato et Christophe Michalak.

Plusieurs personnalités contemporaines réinvestissent les lieux comme clients, comme l'actrice Nicole Kidman, les influenceuses Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner et Kim Kardashian ou encore le couturier Olivier Rousteing, qui y organisa ses dîners d'après défilé. Le romancier Michel Houellebecq y a fêté son mariage en 2019.

Description
Situé dans un hôtel particulier du  près des quais de Seine, sur trois étages, c'est l'un des derniers restaurants parisiens proposant des petits salons-alcôves où l'on peut déjeuner ou dîner en toute intimité dans un cadre tamisé. Le service se fait « à la clochette » (ou à la sonnette) pour appeler le serveur, afin de respecter l'intimité des clients. D'ailleurs, pour les salons privés, le serveur annonce son entrée en frappant à la porte.

Le salon le plus intime, pour deux personnes, porte le nom de la courtisane Caroline Otero ; Serge Gainsbourg et Jane Birkin l'occupèrent. Jouant sur l'ambiguïté de son nom avec celui du célèbre explorateur, le restaurant a baptisé deux de ses salons du nom de ses navires, L'Astrolabe et La Boussole. Selon la légende, le « salon des sénateurs » est supposé disposer d'un passage secret permettant de se rendre au Sénat, muré depuis.

La cave compte 12 000 bouteilles et plus de 800 références. Il est possible d'y dîner, servi par un majordome personnel.

Dans la fiction
Le restaurant apparaît dans le film Quai des Orfèvres (1947), l'un des Topolinski y jouant même son propre rôle, dans Président (2006) et dans Minuit à Paris (2011) de Woody Allen. Claude Lelouch y a aussi tourné un court-métrage.

In 2016, $11 million was awarded for five projects. Approximately $7 million is available in 2017.
HOME rental projects must serve households with incomes at or below 60% of area median income (AMI). There are scoring incentives for projects in which 15% or more of the units are set aside for special needs populations including homeless, mentally ill, substance abuse, domestic violence and physically disabled individuals and families.
The program will fund hard costs and acquisition related soft costs for permanent supportive housing and affordable housing.
Applications are typically made available in August through Homes and Community Renewal's Unified Funding Award process, due in December and announced in the following spring. All UFA funds, including HOME, are awarded using the scoring priorities contained in the HCR Qualified Allocation Plan.
In 2010, HCR implemented an early award round, open to projects ready to go into construction within 120 days of the award. These applications are due in October.
The 2016 awards ranged from $490,113 to $4,073,742. The 2017 RFP limits the award to a maximum of $2.4 million per project, except for Housing Opportunity Projects.
The project must remain in service for a term of up to 20 years.
15% of each allocation of New York State HOME funds is reserved for qualified community housing development organizations (CHDO), in accordance with federal law. Of the remaining funds, a minimum of 80% is reserved for projects that are not located in communities that have been designated by the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as participating jurisdictions (PJs).
HOME funding for more than twelve units in a project requires compliance with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage regulations.
HOME funding is block granted to both New York State and larger municipalities [HOME Investment Partnership Program (New York Localities)] Due to federal cuts HOME funds available have been cut in half over the past three years. However NYS has offset these cuts with additional Housing Trust Fund allocations.
State HOME funds play an important role as gap filler in HCR capital projects under the Unified Funding Round.
NYS HOME funds are most often used outside of New York City.
See HCR's Unified Funding Materials for 2017.

President Trump says he's never used 'racist remarks'
President Donald Trump on Wednesday strongly pushed back against claims he has made racist remarks, as alleged by his former lawyer Michael Cohen .
"That's false," Trump said as a reporter began his question.
Asked whether he called rapper Lil' Jon an "Uncle Tom," Trump said, "I don't know who Little Jon is."
He was reminded Lil' Jon was on his NBC show, "The Apprentice."
"I would never do that and I don't use racist remarks," Trump told reporters in the East Room, adding that if he did, "You would've known about it."
Trump said he "never" worries about any record of racist remarks because "I have never used racist remarks."
The exchange came after Trump told an African-American reporter that her question on white nationalism was racist.
Asked about his support for nationalism and if it might embolden white nationalists, Trump said: "I don't know why you'd say that. Such a racist question."
"To say that as you said that to me is so insulting. It's a very terrible thing what you said," the President said. "Why do I have among the highest poll numbers with African-Americans?"
"That is such a racist question. Honestly, I know you have it written down and you're going to tell me 'What do you think?' That is a racist question," he continued. "I love our country. I do. You have nationalists. You have globalists. I also love the world, and I don't mind helping the world, but we have to straighten out our country first."

I think what Alexander is responding to comes from the great errors of dispensationalism. But the historic reformed view is not that, and that is outright rejected by Scripture. No one here is advocating the dispensational view.
ADKing said:
I am not sure how detailed our answers can really be at this point. Israel was historically identifiable as a nation. As a nation they were cut off from God's covenant. Some day they will be grafted back in to that covenant in a form that is identifiable as a nation of Israel. It seems to me that Romans 11 is not merely about ethnicity. In Paul's own day there was a remnant according to the election of grace. But that remnant represented a subset of the entity which by and large had been cut off (and will one day yet be grafted in again). As is the case so much with prophecy, I don't think we will fully be able to anticipate just what this will look like until it happens. But the idea that it will have a national, and not merely ethnical component seems to me strongly supported from Romans 11 as well as many Old Testament passages.
That's all fair. My only rebuttal would be that many Christians today identify the Israeli state as "the nation of Israel" and that its "restoration" is prophetic. So if we are to judge these claims as to this specific nation then the questions I've raised do become relevant.
[I should clarify that here I am specifically referring to Dispensationalists whereas everwhere else I have not necessarily been speaking only of them. See my post below this.]
Well I reject that reading of the verse, as did Calvin.
But assuming it does refer to the ethnic Jews of Paul's time we still have the problem of who they are today. Are all who call themselves Jews today direct descendants of the Jews of Christ's time? I don't think so.
Might not matter too much, for even OT Israel consisted of a "mixed multitude."
I haven't said anyone here is advocating the Dispensational view. My argument is that, broadly speaking, the Dispensational outlook has infiltrated conservative Christianity. This doesn't necessarily manifest itself in outright Dispensationalism but I believe it does manifest itself in a way which gives spiritual significance to the Israeli state.
The Supreme Court of Israel, if I recall correctly, requires that you have some Jewish blood, likely from the mother's side. Now, is this the real Jewish blood of Moses' day? I have no idea. But neither is it a relative free-for-all. It is understood in secular and religious circles that there are identifiable criteria.
Yes, but the historic reformed view, the historic puritan view that is being espoused by those interacting with you is prior to dispensationalism. In all errors there are bits of truth. Let's deal with the text of Scripture and interact with that instead of Israeli state things. This is to commit eisegesis instead of exegesis, which is the major problem with how people interpret Romans 11:25-26 today. We need to stop bringing externals to the text, and let the text speak and believe what it says.
Ok I follow you now. I still think much of what I've said is also interacting with that though. People here have said there will be a conversion of the Jews as a nation and I've asked what that might look like. People are sure this is going to happen so would that not mean Scripture gives us an idea of how that might look when it does? Or that people who believe it will happen might have an idea themselves? I've specifically addressed the idea that the Israeli state is a fulfilment of this prophecy. Now I'm happy to accept that that is not the historic Reformed view. So I would ask: can you tell me how that historic view differs?
So I would ask: can you tell me how that historic view differs?
The historic Reformed view says the Jews will convert en masse.
Modern premillennialism says they will do so and also receive the land-promises.
That's the main difference. The historic Reformed view doesn't require the land promise.
My tentative conclusion about Israel: the existence of the modern-state of Israel offers prima facie evidence that God is faithful to his promise to regather them. However, I understand that the direct Scriptural evidence about the Israeli state is scanty, so I leave it at that.
Stephen L Smith
SeanPatrickCornell said:
You say "possible", I say "necessary".
I used the term I did because there is variation re how Israel is interpreted by Reformed theologians, yet within a clear covenantal framework.
What is your definition of "Israel"? You can't simply say "elect Israel" as that can mean at least two different things. It can mean the elect nation of Israel (ethnic)
The nature of the question was broad hence my comment was broad. I was simply making the point we cannot discuss ethnic Israel without also discussing sovereign election and its foundation - covenant theology.
David Taylor said:
We are discussing ethnic Israel.
Again, definitions are needed. Do you mean ethnic Israel specifically the elect, or ethnic Israel including the non elect. I argue God does not have a specific purpose for non elect ethnic Israel, except judgment for sin.
It seems to me we can gleam these summary points from Rom 9-11:
God will preserve a remnant of ethnic Israel. Rom 9-10 "for the sake of the fathers"
God has not rejected the people he foreknew. This word foreknew is clearly sovereign election
Rom 11:5 is an excellent summary "So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace"
I do believe there can be flexibility of interpretation around this but to my mind these are the key points.
Stephen L Smith said:
Do you mean ethnic Israel specifically the elect, or ethnic Israel including the non elect. I argue God does not have a specific purpose for non elect ethnic Israel, except judgment for sin.
If I meant elect only that is what I would have said. Elect does not equal ethnic. Now you can argue that it is only a subset of ethnic Israel but don't try to redefine things.
It is relevant because it determines if one is Reformed or not. Eg, if you talk about ethnic Israel without qualification, you open the door to dispensationalism. From a Reformed perspective you cannot leave election out of the equation.
Of course, if you are going to say that you also have to qualify what you mean by dispensationalism. I honestly think, from what I see on this board, that there are major caricatures of dispensationalism that don't actually describe 90% of dispensationalists.
There could be some caricatures. And there could be some ignorance and mean-spiritedness in connection to the topic. But more than a few folk of the membership have first-hand experience in dispensational-oriented churches. Many have experience of this teaching, and the system that goes with it; and some have done that teaching themselves.
Here's a suggestion: you could give out a source that would give anyone who exchanges ideas with you the basis of your own definition and description of what "90% of dispensationalists" believe and practice in your judgment. That way, either people will conform to that definition when engaging; or else will state where their own definition comes from.
Dispensationalism simply recognizes that God interacts with humanity in different ways in different times. Everyone, even those who are in Covenant Theology, recognize and support this.
Dispensationalism in of itself is not wrong. The extremes that people take it to, however, are. But the same can be said of Covenant Theology.
TylerRay
If what you say here is true, there is no meaningful difference between covenant theology and dispensationalism. That's simply not the case. I think you should study this out some more. I grew up in a church where the old folks carried Scofield bibles and the young folks read Left Behind. I have rejected dispensationalism and embraced covenant theology. They are different theologies.
TylerRay said:
They are different hermeneutic methods, yes. The MAIN differences are how they see Israel, the church, and the end times. You have to accept parts of both to be biblical. You cannot honestly say there are no facets of dispensationalism that are correct. Otherwise, we would still be offering sacrifices today, wouldn't we?
On the other hand, Covenant Theology taken to an extreme gets you things that are not found in Scripture such as infant baptism which I reject. It has to be a blending of the two.
That's why I think it is ridiculous when people here throw John MacArthur under the bus because he isn't "covenantal" and they try to paint him with a Dispensational brush that is on the extreme side of dispensationalism. I've even seen people say MacArthur isn't reformed which is just utterly ridiculous.
For the record, I grew up in Dispensationalism and what I often see described here doesn't describe anything like I have seen.
Have you read anything on covenant theology? You appear to be the one making and burning straw men.
What I have noticed...
Dispensationalists, it seems, skip over Hebrews; prog dispensationalists have read it but don't know what to do with it; Covenant theologians read it and take it seriously.
I'll be a middle of the road voice. No one is an old school dispensationalist today. No one of note, anyway. Whenever I tell people that maybe the new creation won't be a Platonic paradise and perhaps God has a future for Israel, I am met with, "Oh, you must believe in blood moons and pray for the Red Heifer."
I remember when I first became a premillennialist I had almost the first two chapters of Hebrews memorized. So there's that. I also read Hebrew every morning.
Here's a suggestion: you could give out a source that would give anyone who exchanges ideas with you the basis of your own definition and description of what "90% of dispensationalists" believe and practice in your judgment.
I know you were addressing him but it was something I was thinking of. The following two books are the best on the topic (and contain critical essays from Reformed scholars as well).

The best dispensational blogger is Dr Paul Henebury. He brings more to the table than anyone else.

That's exactly what I mean by caricature. I am middle of the road as well.
From what I've read on the subject there are indeed some Dispensationalists who believe sacrifices will be offered again at some point!
Yes of course there is nuance and difference of opinion in Dispensationalism. But to reduce Dispensationalism to "God dealing with people in different ways at different times" is, I'm sorry, absurd. Yes the Reformed have used the term "dispensation" to refer to periods in redemptive history. But Dispensationalism (capital D) is a specific interpretation of Scripture that goes a lot further than merely saying God deals with people in different ways at different times. It reinterprets the very nature of salvation and produces at least two separate streams of redemption (for the Jews on the one hand and Christians on the other). And this isn't even touching on many of the distinctive ideas and doctrines which have sprung up in the broad Dispensationalist camp over the years.
I don't claim to be anything like an expert on Dispensationalism. As it relates to this discussion we're talking about how Christians have interpreted the founding of the Israeli state in 1948. I think I can quite safely say that Dispensationalists, generally, have interpreted this founding as part of God's redemptive plan for Jewry and that Christians are obligated to support it. This is not a caricature or a fringe opinion. This view of the Israeli state is on full display throughout the evangelical world today- Dispensational church or not.
Yes of course there is nuance and difference of opinion in Dispensationalism. But to reduce Dispensationalism to "God dealing with people in different ways at different times" is, I'm sorry, absurd.
Not really. The essence of old-school dispensationalism (but not progressive) is that God can't deal with the church and Israel at the same time.
I don't claim to be anything like an expert on Dispensationalism.
But yet you feel free to say that our interpretations of dispensatioanlism, which are based on analyzing the top monographs, are absurd.
It reinterprets the very nature of salvation and produces at least two separate streams of redemption (for the Jews on the one hand and Christians on the other).
Again, this is the caricature and only the fringes of dispensationalism and not the dispensational norm. Even Dallas Theological, one of the foremost dispensational educational institutions, teach there is only one way of salvation for both Jew and Christian.
Most modern Dispensationalists have abandoned the excesses, it's true. But what holds them still in the system is they consider it ultimately problematic to allow that God's faithfulness to Israel could include anything besides a flatly early, physical, and literal fulfillment of the OT promises, such as land, kingdoms, millennial reigns, physical temples and sacrifices, etc.
One can appreciate their desire for fidelity to God's Word. The preeminent weakness of the entire system, however, is the new testament's use of the old; or what we could call the Apostolic hermeneutic. They just didn't read the OT like a the dispensationalist does.
That issue was what pulled me out of dispensationalism in the end, after a bachelor's and a master's in biblical studies from a dispensational institution (and requisite readings from Ryrie; I've also argued with the aforementioned Paul Henebury on dispensational forums). In truth, I would say the individuals who have directly impacted my spiritual life the most have been dispensationalists, so no hate from me here.
One old professor who I loved, a Dallas grad, told us that the future sacrifices would just be "memorials" to the past work of Christ. I respected the guy very much, but found that strange. I love them, but they're wrong.
Again, this is the caricature and only the fringes of dispensationalism and not the dispensational norm
Even the newer editions of the Scofield bible dropped that line (which Scofield himself probably never intended it be read that way).
Andrew35 said:
however, is the new testament's use of the old; or what we could call the Apostolic hermeneutic. They just didn't read the OT like a the dispensationalist does.
I think it is more ambiguous than that. We simply don't have a complete pre-interpreted apostolic guide of every OT verse. And some OT passages do point to a literal fulfillment (Isaiah 53, for example).
No, we certainly don't. And there's room for ambiguity and disagreement. But the point still stands. A dispensationalist simply would not use Joel the way Peter uses Joel. A dispensationalist (classic now) would not speak of the kingdom the way Acts speaks of the kingdom. Et al. This is why dispensationalism had undergone so many modifications.
Nor am I saying a fulfillment can't be literal. I tend to think our categories are somewhat ill-suited to the way the language and concepts actually work, but I'm not smart enough to develop a positive presentation of this. Maybe someone else has and I just haven't read it yet.
The only people I know of who argue for a continuation of animal sacrifice are dispensationalists. Dispensationalism doesn't really teach that God deals differently in different ages. It teaches that God deals differently with different people groups. Jews have one way of worshipping, and gentiles have another; God has one plan for Jews, and another plan for gentiles.
Covenant theology, on the other hand, teaches that God has one covenant people, and that his way of dealing with that one people differs in different ages.


Dish TV is reportedly about to launch a dedicated DTH service for Sri Lanka using capacity on SES's newly launched SES-8 satellite (launched on December 3rd).
SES-8 is co-located with NSS-6 at 95 deg East, and which is already covering the Indian sub-Continent with signals. Dish TV CEO RC Venkateish is on record as saying that Dish TV was looking to add five transponders from SES to boost its existing capacity.
This new scheme is reported to be a j-v between Dish and SatNet Pvt Ltd in which Dish holds a 70 per cent stake. SatNet was formerly Star TV Lanka and is the first DTH pay-TV operating in Sri Lanka.
The DTH transmissions will use Conax encryption. SatNet is the authorised agent for Dish TV.


http://157.230.178.214 – What are the forced bet in agen poker? There are different types of rules in agen poker games. From which one is forced bet. Be it any of the poker game they need some amount from the forced bets to have a starting amount for the players with whom you are playing. With this starting amount players get an initial cost with which they can start dealing with each hand for one or two players.
Ante is a form of forced bet in which every player who is playing this agen poker game will give an equal amount of money or chips into the bet before start playing the real game. This money is moreover used by the players only at some stage of the game and they could be single unit or may be in double unit, which means that half or less amount is being used by players of this bet. This is important for each player to be the part of this hand, though this whole process happens in a slow speed. By doing this they collect some amount of money, So that they can give some money to all the players who are in this game but the amount is very small. This incentive is given to the players because they have played the hands rather than quitting the game while the starting bet was taking part. This game encourages all the players who are in the game to carry on with the game more conveniently by keeping the cost low as to compare with actual pot size in the game.

Human rights International News Report
Citizens Sue Minnesota State Board of Investment for Illegal Investments in Israel Bonds
The lawsuit asserts that investment in Israel Bonds by the SBI is both unlawful and imprudent, and further contends that such investment violates the Minnesota statutes that control the types of foreign investments that the SBI is permitted to make.The Minneapolis Minnesota Break the Bonds Campaign (MN BBC), a statewide campaign aimed at stopping Minnesota investment in Israel's human rights and international law violations, has joined with several individuals and organizations in serving a lawsuit on the Minnesota State Board of Investment (SBI) to demand that the Board divest from its purchase of sovereign Israel Bonds.
The lawsuit asserts that investment in Israel Bonds by the SBI is both unlawful and imprudent, and further contends that such investment violates the Minnesota statutes that control the types of foreign investments that the SBI is permitted to make. Foreign government bonds, which include Israeli bonds, are not included in the SBI's list of authorized investments. The only exception is for Canadian Bonds.
Justification for the lawsuit is the further claim that investment in Israel Bonds by the SBI is unlawful because the SBI knowingly aided and abetted Israel's blatant defiance of Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. By financing Israel's illegal settlement activities, including the prohibited transfer of Israeli's civilian population to the occupied Palestinian territories in full recognition of the internationally recognized violation, makes SBI liable under International Law by affirming complicity with agencies that financially provide aid to those engaged in violation of International Law.
Finally, the lawsuit argues that the SBI is in breach of its fiduciary obligations by exposing Minnesota taxpayers to liability imposed by victims of Israel's human rights abuses and the international law violations because of its material support of unlawful activities practiced by Israel.
MN BBC is a group comprised of Palestinians, Jews, Christians, Muslims, students, professionals, parents, community members and supporters who are working to educate Minnesota communities about injustices and the ongoing suffering of Palestinians. Their aim is to promote justice and human rights. The principle of MN BBC members contends that the people of Minnesota have the moral obligation to make sound investments that do not aid the oppression of anyone because of race, faith or ethnicity.
Members of MN BBC will serve the lawsuit on November 29, 2011 at the Attorney General's office at 1400 Bremer Tower, 445 Minnesota Street, St. Paul. Media are welcome to interview MN BBC members and co-plaintiffs following issuing of the complaint. Copies of the lawsuit will be available to the press.

Q: Forces to move a mass up and down and relation to potential energy Basically the question is: Does it take the same forces to move a mass up or down including acceleration and deceleration?
The Newton second law: $F=m*a$ tend to say yes. In reality this is far from the case. Is it only due to friction? Is it also due to the increase of potential energy when moving a mass up: $E=F*Height$? I cannot find anywhere any relation between the increase or decrease of potential energy and the forces necessary to move an object.
Practical example for those interested where we have a motor moving a mass up and down using rack and pinion and where we measure the motor torque:
We need to move a mass $m=650kg$ up and down vertically with a target velocity of $1 m/s$ and are using acceleration and deceleration of $1m/s^2$
The necessary forces during acceleration upward should be $F=m*(g+acc)= 650 * (9.8 + 1)=7000N$  in reality we measure them be around 8300N
Accelerating downward should be $F=650 * (9.8 -1)=5700N$ , we measure 3000N
During move both upward and downward at constant velocity and staying still without friction the necessary forces should be $F=m*g = 650*9.8 = 6300N$ but we measure they are around 5200N standing still, 7000N moving up  and 5300N moving down.
We could explain the difference by considering we have around 1000N friction. It is possible, but then where do the increase in potential energy comes from?
Update: explain setup and how we measure forces.
Update 2: precise the velcoty is not constant during entire move. It is just a target velocity

A: You seem to think that giving something potential energy somehow 'consumes' force. But this is not the case. A 650 kg body will require an upward force of 6.38 kN (equal and opposite to the pull of gravity of 6.38 kN) in order to move upward at constant speed (having first been set in motion). As it moves upwards it will acquire 6.38 kJ of gravitational potential energy for each 1.00 m of upward motion. This is the amount of work done per metre by the lifting force. No extra force is needed to give the potential energy. Acquiring gravitational potential energy is part and parcel of being moved upwards in the Earth's gravitational field.
Extra force would, though, be needed to give the body an upward acceleration. An extra 650 N for each increment of 1.00 m s$^{-2}$. [An extra force of 650 N would result in a gain in kinetic energy of 650 J per metre of motion. This is in addition to the gain in gravitational potential energy.]
When you say "in reality" these forces are [the values that you give], I'm assuming that they have been measured. Friction is indeed the only simple way of accounting for the discrepancy between calculated and measured values.

A: Yes, it will require the same force to accelerate the mass just as much regardless of direction of motion because mass - the "resistance" against motion - is directionless.
If sounds like you specifically are asking to your own applied force, though. And then the answer is obviously no. Because, obviously, if other forces are present along some directions and not along other directions, then they will help our or resist further the effect of your applied force.
Such other forces could be e.g. the gravitational force or friction. The increase in potential energy that you mention is another word of saying that gravity counteracts your force, thus making it tougher for you to lift the object.

I cannot find anywhere any relation between the increase or decrease of potential energy and the forces necessary to move an object.

An equation relating energy with forces is the work formula:
$$W=\int F\cdot \mathrm dx\approx F\,\Delta x.$$
Each influencing force does work on the object being moved. All energy changes, potential, kinetic or other, are due to such work being done.

Practical example from work for those interested

(In your question phrasing you mention a speed of 1 m/s that can't be correct since the speed can't be constant. But it also isn't involved in your calculation, so no bother.)
I agree with your calculation here. If you measure something else than the calculated amount of exerted force, then look for sources of error. Yes, friction might be one. Depending on object shape, air drag might be one. And the largest factor may be your method of measuring the value - is it done via delicate equipment, or with a manual, handheld Newtonmeter that might not have been held entirely still all the way through?
If you could provide details about how your measurements have been done, then it might be easier to figure out why your unexpectedly different values are showing up.

A: Let's look at a simple example: A mass of $1kg$. For simplicity we make the gravitational acceleration $g = 10m/s^2$
Let's apply a force of $F = 20N$ over a time of $t_1 = 1s$. The net acceleration will be $a_1 = F/m-g = 10m/s^2$. Let's look at the state of affair after one second. The velocity of the objects will be
$$v_1 = a_1 t_1 = 10m/s$$
The position will be
$$ x_1 = \frac{1}{2} a_1t_1^2 = 5m$$
Let's look at energies: the potential energy is
$$E_{pot1} = x_1g = 50 J$$
The energy that we have expended is
$$E_0 = x_1F = 100J $$
So where is the rest? The object is moving at $10m/s$ so it has kinetic energy as well, so we have
$$E_{kin1} = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 = 50J$$
And it all works out: the energy we have put in has been conserved and it's split between kinetic and potential energy of the object. If we stop the acceleration the object will still keep going since it has momentum. Now the only force acting on it is gravity so the net acceleration is now $a_2 = -10m/s^2$
By a simple symmetry argument, the object will come to a halt at $t = 2s$ at a height of $x_2 = 10m$ a and speed of $v_2 = 0$. The kinetic energy is 0 but the potential energy is now
$$E_{pot2} = x_2g = 100J$$
And again the energy is fully balanced. We can continue the tracking the object: At $t=3s$ the object is back down halfway: $x_3 = 50m$, $v_3 = -10m/s$ and we have the same energy balance then we have at $t=1s$.
The object will reach it's original location ($x4 = 0$) at
$$t_4 = t_2 + \sqrt{2(x_4-x_2)/a_2} = 2s + \sqrt{2}s$$
At this point the velocity is
$$v_4 = a_2(t4-t2) = 10\sqrt{2}m/s$$
and the kinetic energy is
$$E_{kin4} = \frac{1}{2}mv_4^2 = 100J = E_0$$
Now all the input energy has been turned into kinetic Energy of the object.

An amazing presentation from the Rotary Foundation executive. Mark started his Rotary life through Interact, Rotoract and his local club to his current position within the Rotary organisation. Mark's presentation explained Rotary Foundation's work nationally and internationally and provided facts and figures that most members were not aware of. He explained how to maximise the funding for grants and gave examples of many successful projects. It was clear that those present were so much better informed after Mark had demonstrated how we must use the Foundation. He also emphasised the need to prioritise the Foundation as our preferred charity and the benefits that flow all way down to our Club from this.
The Presidents summarised that we need to maximise Mark's advice and the need to engage with other clubs within our District. They thanked Mark for his wonderful speech.
Susie M. announced further development and correspondence with the recommended suppliers of the "ZAPSTAND" Defibrillator Public System, and with confirmation from John S. on available club funds, Board Member approval of the potential project, that the club proceed to work with council on the project. It is agreed that as there are no current club projects for consideration and the health benefits provided by the units on the Corso, this opportunity to promote our Rotary brand in a prominent position adds up to a worthwhile initiative.
Susie M said we have missed the deadline for State Government Community Building Partnerships funding this year and also Rotary District Grants for this year but should proceed to work with council as quickly as possible.

Procedure for dealing with cases of disagreement between Disciplinary Authority and CVC – DOPT
Procedure for dealing with cases of disagreement between Disciplinary Authority and CVC — instructions regarding consultation with UPSC thereof
No.372/3/2017-AVD.Ill
Dated 1.3.2017
Subject: Procedure for dealing with cases of disagreement between Disciplinary Authority and CVC — instructions regarding consultation with UPSC thereof.
The undersigned is directed to refer to the OM No. 372/19/2011 — AVD—III (Pt. I) dated the 26th September, 2011 on the above subject which provided for dispensing with second stage consultation with the CVC in disciplinary matters. However, in those cases where consultation with UPSC is not required as per extant rules/instructions, the second stage consultation with CVC was to continue. Further, CVC issued a circular dated 7/12/2012 stipulating that wherein Disciplinary Authorities (DA) tentatively proposes not to impose any of the statutory penalties at the conclusion of the proceedings, the second stage consultation would continue to be made with the Central Vigilance Commission, involving Group `A' officers of the Central Government, members of All India Services and such other categories of officers of the Central Government involved in composite cases.
2. Despite clear instructions on the subject some instances have come to the notice where Ministries and Departments are not following the above guidelines leading to delay in disposal of the disciplinary cases.
3. The matter has been considered in consultation with UPSC and CVC and following are being reiterated:
(i) All cases, where the Disciplinary Authority (DA) decides to impose a penalty after conclusion of the proceedings and where UPSC consultation is required as per existing rules/instructions, shall not be referred to the CVC for second stage consultation.
(ii) The CVC circular 8/12/14 of 3rd December, 2014 stipulates that all such cases where the DA proposes to take any action which is at variance with the Commission's first stage advice would continue to be referred to the Commission for obtaining second stage advice. In this regard it has now been clarified by CVC that the aforementioned circular applies only to the disciplinary cases of non-Presidential appointees including officials of CPSEs, Public Sector Banks, and Autonomous Bodies etc. The above instructions, therefore, do not apply to the cases of the officers of Group A services of the Central government, All India Services (AIS) and such other categories of officers of the Central Government where consultation with UPSC is necessary before imposition of any of the prescribed penalties.
4. In a situation where on conclusion of the departmental proceedings, DA is of the tentative view that no formal penalty needs to be imposed in respect of officers of Group `A' services of the Central Government, All India Services (AIS) & such other categories of officers of the Central Government and refers the case for second stage consultation with CVC and if CVC advises imposition of a penalty which the DA on consideration decides not to accept, then this becomes a case of disagreement between DA and CVC which as per standing instructions require resolution by DoPT.
5. All Ministries/Departments are, therefore, advised to strictly adhere to these instructions.
6. Hindi version will follow.

Zircon formation from amorphous powder and melt in the silica-rich region of the alumina-silica-zirconia system
Mónica Popa, Masato Kakihana, Masahiro Yoshimura, José M. Calderón-Moreno
Chemically homogeneous amorphous powders were prepared by sol-gel method from alkoxide mixtures in the silica-rich region of the alumina-silica-zirconia system. A glass with the same composition was obtained by quenching in water from the melt. The evolution with temperature in the range up to 1625 °C was studied by means of X-ray diffraction, infrared and UV-Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. Zircon crystallization and stability at temperatures higher than the liquidus temperature were confirmed in both melt-quenched and gel-glasses. Crystallization of cristobalite from the amorphous gel-glasses was observed above 1200 °C. The crystallization of zircon particles was observed after thermal treatment at 1550 °C. At 1625 °C zircon was the only stable crystalline phase due to the complete melting of the silica-rich matrix. The XRD pattern of the ternary gel treated at 1625 °C shows clearly the disappearance of the cristobalite phase, while at 1550 °C there is already partial melting. These results can help to determine the phase equilibrium in the ternary system.

Q: Jquery- Show/hide image on clicking the checkbox , an image should be displayed for 5 seconds and then it should hide..
   $(".isActive").click(function() {

         var checkBox_id = $(this).attr("id");        // id of checkbox
         var div_id = $(this).closest('tr').find('.display_image').attr("id");
         $("#"+div_id).empty().html('<img src="${resource(dir:'images',file:'spinner.gif')}"/>');

Blah.....Blah...
How to make change in code so that image will be displayed only for 5 seconds and then hide the image...

A: Add this after your code:
setTimeout(function(){
  $("#"+div_id).empty();
}, 5000);

or you could change the middle line for:
$('#'+div_id).find('img').hide();

A: Use delay():
$( function(){
    $('button').click( function(){
        $('.image').fadeIn().delay(5000).fadeOut();
    });
});

Malala was accompanied to the ceremony by her parents, Ziauddin Yousafzai and Toor Pekai Yousafzai, and her husband Asser Malik. She poses in black and white graduation attire.
In the fascinating landscapes, Malala has been spotted donning a cheeky smile while posing for her graduation pictures.
In some clicks, Malala can be seen with her friends however the spotlight of the whole occasion would definitely be Malala's pictures with her better half Asser Malik.
Asser looks mighty proud of Malala's achievements as he gives off a gleaming smile for the photo session.
He said that "the place we first met felt a little more special on the day of Malala's graduation."
Asser, who is a senior executive at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), took to Instagram to share a couple of pictures from Malala's graduation ceremony at the University of Oxford.
However, the youngest Nobel peace prize winner had tied the nuptial knot with Asser during a small ceremony in Birmingham on November 9.
