The members of Green Day are parting ways with a few things in their collection. The punk trio is selling more than 100 pieces of gear through the online gear marketplace Reverb.com.
Among the 44 guitars frontman Billie Joe Armstrong is putting up for sale include the Harmony Stella Parlor Acoustic Guitar he used to record the Dookie track "F.O.D.," and a reassembled 2011 TV Yellow Gibson Les Paul Junior Guitar, which he had smashed to pieces during a 2012 festival show in Las Vegas.

Soccer Season Sails Smoothly
The West Geauga boys soccer team "kicks off" its season with a roster bolstered by 8 seniors on the team, including C.J. Contizano, Miguel DelValle, Zach Edwards, Jimmy Rogant, Antony Tran, Kevin Wenger, Neil Whitmore and Alec Wright. The team captains are Contizano and DelValle. The overall program consists of 24 players on the varsity and 20 on junior varsity. While there is usually, "strength in numbers," this can be troublesome, as not all players get in to play in the varsity games.
Last season the team finished with a record of 12 wins, 7 losses and 1 tie (overall), 6-1-0 in the CVC. The team also won the Division II Mentor District. Post season awards included Contizano and DelValle earning honorable mention all – CVC. Sophomore Joey DiLalla was also honorable mention all – Division 2, Greater Cleveland.
The coaching staff members for this season are Mr. Mario Gerhardt, head coach, in his third year at West Geauga and 50th year as head coach of high school soccer…yes, you read that right. 50 years !! Mr. Glenn Korenko is in his second year at West G, and he has been a former boys head coach at Harvey High and a girls head coach at NDCL. Mr. Jim McSherry is a volunteer coach, and he has been coaching with Gerhardt for roughly 15 years. Korenko got Gerhardt into coaching 50 years ago. "He organized a club team at Mentor that needed a coach and I became it. Jim was on one of my high school soccer teams at Chagrin in the early 70's," said Coach Gerhardt."
The team's goal for this season is simple: to score more goals than the other team and win the game. To date, the team's record is 3 – 5 – 1. They hope to do better in the second half of the regular season. It is also their intention to defend that district championship. One thing the coaches wanted to stress was that, win or lose, they enjoy every day trying to help the team become better soccer players and individuals. "A day without soccer is a day wasted," added Gerhardt.
CJ said, "Our team is fun and full of energy this year. I love going to practice every day and riding with my teammates, they always keep me going."
Coach Gerhardt closed by saying, "This is my 50th year coaching and teaching high school soccer and I am still looking forward to every practice and game as I did fifty years ago. I am grateful to all the players who are keeping me young. I do something soccer- related every single day."
After all, a day without soccer is a wasted day! See more at: https://wgwhirlwind.org/1485/sports/soccer-season-sails-smoothly/

Discussion in 'TV Show Forum' started by Garrett, Mar 28, 2004.
I have just been doing a post on the film The House That Dripped Blood which Tom Adams appears in.
Who is Tom Adams you may say well to many he is the tall bloke in the DFS? adverts or use to be before Michel Aspel took over.
He was one of the escapees in The Great Escape (Dai Nimmo ('Diversions')) , and later did a take off of Bond in the 1965 film Licensed To Kill.
In 1980 he stared in the Enigma Files about a police department that went over unsolved cases (now called cold cases) but I think was shown on BBC2.
He also was in an episode of The Avengers called Take Over, where he and Steed have a classical music quiz starting of with the piece of music which than gets down to who was the composed, where it was recorded and who was the percussionist Steed is able to tell as the percussionist as he uses ebony drumstick.
I think that Garrett deliberately posted this in an effort to prove that he is younger than me.
Ok, I'll fall for it. His best known TV role was as Daniel Fogarty in The Onedin Line which was over 30 years ago.
Talk about a memory jogger! I remember watching that Bond rip off on a video from one of the rat's-arse video companies that proliferated during the video boom of the '80s.
"Agent 077 - Licensed to Love and Kill". I think the title alone is close enough to warrant lawsuit from Eon were it released today. I seem to remember it turning up with a different title from another company a few years later.
Absolutely dire too as I remember.
Didn't Adams play one of those dishy-doctor types in "General Hospital" or early "Casualty" or something like that as well?
The original film he played the agent Charles Vine was Licensed To Kill 1965 which was not too bad with a few spoof elements thrown in, seem to remember him and an other villain creeping round the London Dockland in stocking feet so not to give their position away. The follow up was truly awful Where the Bullets Fly 1966 where any semblance with reality was thrown out of the window. Also the was a third in the series called Somebody's Stolen Our Russian Spy 1968 which I have not seen.
Agent 077 - Licensed to Love and Kill was an other character was called Charles Bind and was played by Gareth Hunt in 1979 although it looks as if the film makers could have pinched some ideas from the Charles Vine films as the name is not a million miles away and Vine was classed as the second best agent and Bind was 077.
Believe it or not Ian the first time I watched The Onidin Line was the episode the character Daniel Fogarty left the series and remember Elizabeth Frazer played by Jessica Benton(now what happened to her). Was riding a horse then gets off and start sobbing on a bank of grass covers earth because of it.
I did catch them when they where repeated on the BBC and also on UK Gold. I thing the character Daniel Fogarty was played by Michael Billington originally who was a bit more of a wheeler dealer but when played by Tom Adams became more altruistic.
I could still watch the series again they seem to know how to make series then and had runs of 13 weeks rather then 6 we get these days.
As you say Tony Adams and was in General Hospital as was Tom Adams.

Megan Fox compares Transformers director to Adolf Hitler
Dark-tressed Transformers star Megan Fox is out promoting her new movie Jennifer's Body in the pages of Wonderland magazine and naturally she's saying things that are designed to make readers stop their eyeballs in their tracks and IM their friends about what she's saying. Case in point: Megan said that her Transformers director Michael Bay "wants to be like Hitler on his sets." I can already see some enterprising editor making a new Downfall parody and Hitler's subtitles talking about how badly the war between the Decepticons and Autobots is going. Well, it's that or maybe Bay is growing a short 'stache before his next movie assignment.
Will we look at Lindsay Lohan in Playboy?
Appearing sans clothing in the pages of Playboy has given a much-needed jumpstart to many actresses throughout the decades. Sometimes the celeb finds herself appearing wearing nothing but her birthday suit -- well, and maybe a couple of lacy undergarments usually half off their body -- against her wishes because the photos come from a time when she wasn't as well known as she is now and needed the fash cash. Marylyn Monroe, Joan Collins, Madonna are some of the women that come immediately to mind. On other occasions the actress is a willing participant who cashes in on a nice payday as well as takes a gamble that a racier photospread will bring her to the attention of filmmakers looking to cast their new movie. And it may be Lindsay Lohan who becomes this next breed of celeb Playboy pictoral.
Patrick Stewart has ghostly sighting while on stage
To millions of his fans worldwide Patrick Stewart is best known for playing Captain Jean-Luc Picard through seven seasons and four feature films of Star Trek or for his role as Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men trilogy of films. Now the 69-year-old Shakespearian actor may have another distinction to talk about: seeing a ghost. And it wasn't in a house where Stewart had his sighting, it was in one of England's oldest and reportedly most haunted establishments: on the stage of Royal Haymarket Theater while working with his X-Men co-star Sir Ian McKellen.
Kirsten Dunst does cosplay
Terminator Salvation director McG may have found the perfect role for Spider-Man's Kirsten Dunst: done up in a Sailor Moon-inspired costume and prowling the city streets of Tokyo's home to electronics, the Akihabara district. I'll say this: Kirsten sure wears the blue hair well.
American Pie star attacked by ape
Maybe the monkey wanted a taste of his pie.
Wall Street stars having romantic hijinks?
As far as I know filming hasn't begun yet on Oliver Stone's Wall Street sequel Money Never Sleeps, but judging from the paparazzi photos taken this past weekend of two of the film's stars, something is going on in New York City. Photos showing Shia LaBeouf out grabbing a bit with co-star Carey Mulligan have sprouted on the web and led to speculation that the two may be seeing each other more often than just at their dayjob.
Keira Knightley's Chanel ad shows her breast side
In-between making movies about beguiling ladies dressed up in Victorian corsets and white wigs, Keira Knightley serves as the face of Chanel perfume. Her latest ad for the odor maker has caused a stir amongst magazine readers and those that ride public transit and see her face in bus shelters because of her lack of a shirt. Thank goodness for suspenders or else we would have had to tolerate gazing at Keira's areola.
Gwyneth Paltrow plays the ice queen
Now that I'm perusing the celeb blogosphere on a near daily basis (oh, the things I do for hits), one of the axioms of this industry seems to be that Gwyneth Paltrow is an insufferable bitch. I've never met her nor have I talked about this subject with anyone that has met her but the celeb blogs love to strip a pound of flesh from the Paltrow. I've seen nicer hazings from Ivy school frat boys.
The shape of Christina Ricci
This past Monday night the American premiere of Inglourious Basterds was held at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Los Angeles. While the main man that film geeks cared about was Quentin Tarantino and the rest of the world's paparazzi took another 100,000 photos of a black leathered Angelina Jolie standing beside her man and the film's star, the one celeb that stood out to me from the melee was a very buff Christina Ricci. The girl has gone and hit the gym to shed her Speed Racer baby fat (not like there was much of that) and put on some Sarah Connor-esque muscle!
Twilight of the Ashley Greene nude photos scandal
Is it just me or does it now look like 1 out of every 10 actresses starring in a popular teen film franchise have nude photos of them leaked on the internet? Back in the olden days, when nude photos of a famous woman got leaked you'd have to pay $5.95 to have the privledge of looking at them in the pages of Playboy or Penthouse. Remember those golden days, Madonna? Like a virgin indeed.
Director John Hughes dead at 59
In a story that is just breaking, director John Hughes has passed away at the age of 59. It's being reported that Hughes was out taking a walk around his Manhattan neighborhood this morning when he suffered a heart attack.
Vanessa Hudgens got naked on the internet again
You know what happens when High School Musical hottie Vanessa Hudgens stands in front of a mirror, has a digital camera in her hand and easy access to a broadband line is in the room? She acts like she's Nicole Kidman filming a scene for Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. Something tells me that if Vanessa's camera also recorded sound we'd hear Chris Isaac's "Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing" playing in the background.
Christina Hendricks makes men mad about her
With less than two weeks to go until the third season of AMC's Mad Men is broadcast it makes perfect sense for Esquire to do a photo shoot of the redhaired Joan Holloway on the show, actress Christina Hendricks. And furthermore, it makes sense in the world of magazine publishing and online blogging for Christina Hendricks to be wearing a form-fitting black garment that would give most of us pause if we happened to come across her outside the trailer pictured in the Esquire photo shoot.
There's no way Green Lantern got in a fight with Black Widow
When Scarlett Johansson got cast as the Black Widow in Iron Man 2, sooner or later it was bound to happen that there would come a comic book related headline about her hubby also playing a superhero (the mercenary Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and whether the two decided to play their characters in their off-hours. Then Reynolds moved up to the A-list of comic book heroes by signing to play the title character in Warner Bros. Green Lantern movie, making their relationship now one of those opposites attract in a DC/Marvel kind of way.
Eliza Dushku shows up in FHM's dollhouse
Since launching a celebrity category on the new Coming Attractions I've tended to try and stay away from doing stories that are easy pickens: such-and-such Hollywood starlet shows some leg on the red carpet, or Kanye West says another douche-y thing about him being the new king of pop now that Michael Jackson is in the hereafter. It's been hard trying to avoid writing up these stories as they are so informative and -- I know, I know! -- they share so much with the world. But after taking a look in there and seeing one too many in memorial posts, maybe it's time to reevaluate the situation. After all, life can't be all teardrops, right? Here's a case in point: there's some Eliza Dushku cover action coming in for a landing at magazine shops.

In Minneapolis, how do you measure a snake? In inches because they don't have any feet! All joking aside, seeing a snake at the museum or even in your yard is one thing. Seeing a snake in the comfort of your own home is another. At Minnesota Wild Animal Management, Inc., we get so many calls around this time of year with people in hysterics because a snake is in their home. If you are nervous about a snake in your home or place of business, call the professionals nearest you at Minnesota Wild Animal Management, Inc.
In all honesty, snakes are more scared of people than people are of them, which is saying a lot in some cases. Snakes tend to make people uncomfortable and finding one within their own home makes things even worse. The snakes in the Minneapolis, MN area are usually not aggressive and only attack when they feel threatened. Additionally, there are not very many poisonous snakes around here. With the exception of the Timber Rattlesnake found in S.E. Minnesota, the snakes in the area are not harmful, but still can hurt if they bite. Either way, you don't want any snakes slithering around in your home. So when you see your slithery serpent, it's time to give us a call.
Not only can snakes enter your home through the smallest of holes, they can entrap themselves in the nooks and crannies of your household or building. This is another reason why a professional snake removal is necessary. When you call us to your home, we will assess the situation, let you know our plan, and safely remove the snake without endangering or damaging your property. We will then repair any damage to the area that the snake may have caused while also repairing wherever the snake entered into the house in the first place. We are so confident in our services that we guarantee that nothing will get through the repaired entry site with a four-year warranty.
At Minnesota Wild Animal Management, Inc., we have been the snake removal experts near you for over 35 years. We have been serving Minneapolis, MN and the surrounding areas, protecting your homes and businesses by keeping the wildlife out. We make it a priority to humanely rid your home of whatever animals that may be inhabiting it, including snakes. For more information about snake removal in the area, give Minnesota Wild Animal Management, Inc., a call today at (612) 237-8282.

Canada's new legal pot sellers need to outcompete the black market

Starting Wednesday, Canadians will be able to buy recreational cannabis legally online and from a mix of brick and mortar retailers. Set by province, the minimum age for purchase ranges between 18 and 21.
Canada's government hopes that it has designed a market that allows for tight controls while also weeding out competitors involved in organized crime.
Deciding on a tax rate for cannabis was one key decision facing Canadian authorities.
"They don't want to make it attractive to youth," explained Fred O'Riordan, national leader of tax policy at Ernst & Young in Canada, which would suggest setting a higher tax rate. However, he says you don't want to make legal week so expensive that it sends people back to their former, unlicensed dealers.
Canada's federal government and provinces have agreed to split tax revenues that will begin at about .75 USD per gram.
David Kretzmann, analyst for financial website Motley Fool, says the government also has to achieve something else. "To drive out the black market," he said, "they're only going to do that by enabling companies to grow enough of the cannabis to drop the price, so as a consumer you're able to get a comparable product as far as quality and price from a legal producer."
Each province gets to set its own rules on cannabis sales. Ontario will start out with a government monopoly while Newfoundland and Labrador will allow sales at supermarkets.
Canada legalized marijuana, but still less than half of sales are from legal sources
Could the success of ballot measures to legalize marijuana add pressure for federal legalization?
Pot sales on the rise in some states with people home due to COVID-19
Recreational pot is legal in 11 states, but laws protecting job seekers are still rare
Canadians in the pot business need to be careful crossing U.S. border

APJ Abdul Kalam Memorial Lecture
July 2, 2020 House of Kalam Uncategorized
Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh said here today that Modi's "New India" will realize former President Late Dr APJ Abdul Kalam's "Vision 2020".
Addressing a Memorial programme organized by Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam International Foundation at New Delhi, on the eve of the third death anniversary of former President Late Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, he said, he was fortunate to have personally known Late Dr APJ Kalam from close quarters, both as a human being as well as a scientist. He said, it was, therefore, as a humble tribute to this great luminary that soon after he (Dr Kalam) passed away while delivering a lecture at IIM Shillong, it was decided in the Ministry of Northeast / DoNER to immediately set up "APJ Kalam Chair" in IIM Shillong, which has now further developed into "APJ Kalam Study Centre"
He said, it was a providential coincidence that he had the opportunity of frequently interacting with APJ Kalam during the last few months before his death, primarily because, the late President had started taking interest in research on the causes and prevention of cancer and the study of various carcinogens. Though Kalam was not a Medical professional, he said, it was a natural craving for scientific research inside him which inspired him to look at every aspect of life through a scientific prism, which is the reason that even though he was a student of physics and aeronautics by education and training, he got interested in medical research when he observed the rising prevalence of cancer in India.
The greatest hallmark of Late APJ Kalam's personality, Dr Jitendra Singh said, was that there was not a fraction of a difference between his public image and his conduct in private life. Normally, he said, there are dozens of great leaders whose conduct in public is absolutely contrary to their conduct in private life. But, the unique feature of Kalam was that he carried no pretensions and even in public life, behaved with the same child-like curiosity and simplicity which manifested when he was sitting alone in his living room.
Dwelling on APJ Kalam's illustrious journey from Guindy Engineering College in Chennai to Rashtrapati Bhawan in New Delhi, Dr Jitendra Singh said, Kalam was one of those Presidents who added to the grace and prestige of Rashtrapati Bhawan.

Reading Guide PDF
It is a hefty, sprawling work, more than 400 pages long, but at no point does it begin to sag under its own weight. Perhaps because its spread is solidly supported by facts, Mayo's intricate plot trips along at a natural, inexorable pace, easily traveling the sweeping map she has laid out for it, from Washington to Mexico City and all the way to the imperial halls of Europe… a swashbuckling, riotous good time, befitting the fairy-tale promise of the opening sentence.- Austin American-Statesman
The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire packs a wallop. It is a fascinating historical account delivered in such sweeping, compelling prose as to ring more like literature than fact—and, fundamentally, one could say that it's both; it proves false that old Dorothy Parker adage about historical novels being neither novels nor history. This is an extensively researched and brilliantly organized book, combining geopolitics, international finance, military strategy, and, alas, the eternal struggle of a family, a child, and the human heart in the midst of it all… Mayo, who has lived in Mexico for many years and has written extensively about its history and culture, is the author of a travel memoir about Baja California, among other works. Her literary style is seasoned, intelligent, and wonderfully informed - Himilce Novas, Multicultural Review
En México se han escrito novelas históricas que recrean con erudición, maestría y poesía una época, un episodio, una atmósfera y unos personajes. Pienso, desde luego, en Noticias del imperio de Fernando del Paso; también en la obra de Enrique Serna sobre Santa Anna, la de Rosa Beltrán sobre Guerrero o la reciente novela de C.M. Mayo: El último príncipe del Imperio Mexicano, sobre el nieto de Iturbide en la corte de Maximiliano. - Enrique Krauze, Reforma (Mexico City)
I have read a few sweeping historical novels that have remain inside of me forever. Tolstoy's War and Peace is one of those, Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities is another, Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago is another, and now The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire is another. - James Tipton, Mexico Connect
The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire sheds incredible light on the day-to-day happenings in a royal court that was doomed, from the hour of coronation, to fail….Painstaking historical and cultural research is put to good use in Mayo's narrative, but the true texture of this novel is the rich and credible representations of the secondary characters. From the emperor's guards to the toddler's nurse, the supporting cast of perspectives provides a full insider's view of 19th-century life in Chapultepec Castle and Mexico City…. The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire is a stunning achievement, an inspired novel that steers clear of boring history lessons and instead zeroes in on the smallest epicenter— Principe Agustin de Iturbide y Green— to spiral out into a wondrous period, 1860s Mexico, a time of political possibility and unrest in which "persons who do not appear to share even a footprint's worth of common ground turn out to have destinies bound together in painful knots." - Rigoberto Gonzalez, The El Paso Times
"Partiendo de una concienzuda y afortunada búsqueda en archivos públicos y privados, Mayo logró reunir un caudal de información notable de la que hace uso con bastante desenvoltura….No me queda sino celebrar esta novela, que, comenzando lentamente, termina subyugando por su notable narración." - Pablo Soler Frost, Letras Libres
El último príncipe del Imperio Mexicano no es una biografía… O para decirlo más acertadamente, es mucho más que una biografía. Se trata de una historia apasionada y original sobre ese experimento trágico, heroico, cruel, cómico y hasta absurdo que fue el breve gobierno de Maximiliano de Habsburgo en México. Para escribir la crónica de esa epopeya, la autora, C.M. Mayo, se involucró en un esfuerzo de investigación monumental. De no haber ocurrido de esa manera, el producto editorial habría resultado muy diferente y, por supuesto, de meor calidad… La perseverencia en este tipo de indagaciones resulta fundamental. Es la histamina que impulsa la exploración sin truega y que la autora nos comparte en esa suerte de confesión intelectual que es el epílogo de su conmovedor libro. - EduardoTurrent, El Economista
Epic in scope, Mayo's impressively researched novel set in mid-19th century Mexico City mines the true story of the short turbulent reign of the archduke of Austria, Maximilian von Hapsburg, who was made emperor of Mexico in 1864. Childless and desperate for an heir, the emperor makes substantial monetary promises to the parents of a young boy named Agustin. With much trepidation, they agree to give over the boy, who becomes a pawn in a custody battle that begins when Maximilian adopts the two-year-old Agustin with the hopes of having him inherit the throne. Agustin's American mother, Madame de Iturbide (née Alice Green), soon becomes dissatisfied with the arrangement and pleads with Maximilian to return her son. Maximilian has Alice deported, which sets off an international brawl. Maximilian finally concedes as Mexico devolves "into bankruptcy and lawlessness" and Maximilian's wife, Carlota, becomes increasingly "unmoored." Lengthy, expository, meandering and grandiose, Mayo's reanimation of a crucial period in Mexican history should satisfy history buffs and those in the mood for an engaging story brimming with majestic ambition. - Publisher's Weekly
"a meticulously researched version of the infamous folly of Emperor Maximilian and Empress Carlota of Mexico, told in part from the remarkable, lesser-known perspective of Alice Green. ...The story is intriguing, with a cast of characters geerally left unnoticed by historical accounts. Yet Mayo found a plethora of primary source documentation once she started digging…. The story is not simply chronological, but includes frequent dranatic depictions of events laternated with supplying context, a technique that pricks interest and moves things along smoothly despite the complex baggage of historical facts…. This richly rendered telling lifts [the prince's] story from history's sidelines and fills it with life." - Patricia Dubrava, Bloomsbury Review
This interesting yarn about Maximilian's heir presumptive, Prince Agustín de Iturbide y Green, is set against the backdrop of the second Mexican Emperor's ill-fated reign. Author C.M. Mayo— winner of the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction for her collection Sky Over El Nido— has conducted significant research to compile a story that is both grand yet intimate about a child who sparked an international scandal. The intriguing tale of the Prince of Mexico offers a fine historical lesson about why Maximilian's paternalistic adventure in a country that did not want him was doomed from the start. - The Latin American Review of Books
Mayo resurrects a sad story from the footnotes of history and embroiders the few details known about it into a rich historical novel… Mayo comfortably blends fiction with fact while illuminating a dark corner of North American history.- Booklist
Mayo's cultural insights are first-rate, and the glittering, doomed regime comes to life in quick vignettes. Recommended to readers of popular history as well as historical fiction. Fans of such Mexican-themed novels as Laura Esquivel's Like Water for Chocolate or Sandra Cisnero's Caramelo might enjoy this for context and contrast. - Library Journal
... [A] rich historical novel… Political ambitions, the intrigues of the imperial court, and the relationship between countries at the height of European colonization all the drive the intricate plot of the novel, taking us on a dizzying journey from Washington to Veracruz to Paris and back to Mexico and the U.S…. The evocative descriptions and ironic commentary on the relationship between cultures make this an enjoyable and important novel, particularly relevant for these times. - Literal: Latin American Voices
"The story has plenty to lure the reader: banditry, kidnapping, hubris, madness; but it is a fine attention to detail, on both the factual and visceral levels, that distinguishes C.M. Mayo's first novel, The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire. Drawing from original research and a nuanced understanding of Mexico, Mayo relates one of Mexico's more fantastic historical episodes: Maximilian, an idealistic Austrian prince who, with French backing, is crowned emperor in 1864…Perceptive, and adept at imagining the peeves and wicked daydreams of people from all walks of life… " - The People's Guide to Mexico
C. M. MAYO
THE LAST PRINCE OF THE MEXICAN EMPIRE
The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire is a sweeping historical novel of Mexico during the short, tragic, at times surreal, reign of Emperor Maximilian and his court. Even as the American Civil War raged north of the border, a clique of Mexican conservative exiles and clergy convinced Louis Napoleon to invade Mexico and install the Archduke of Austria, Maximilian von Habsburg, as Emperor. A year later, the childless Maximilian took custody of the two year old, half-American, Prince Agustìn de Iturbide y Green, making the toddler the Heir Presumptive. Maximilian's reluctance to return the child to his distraught parents, even as his empire began to fall, and the Empress Carlota descended into madness, ignited an international scandal. This lush, grand read is based on the true story and illuminates both the cultural roots of Mexico and the political development of the Americas. But it is made all the more captivating by the depth of Mayo's writing and her understanding of the pressures and influences on these all too human players.

OUR STORY TURNS NOW to an ivory castle perched by the uneasy sea within sight of the city of Trieste. In the northeastern corner of Italy, then part of the Austrian Empire, Il Castello di Miramare, or, Miramar, was the residence of the archduke who was second-in-line to the throne. Whereas Vienna's ancient and grey Hofburg Palace huddled around shadowy courtyards, Miramar stood new, crisp, unafraid of the Italian sun. Even today in the early morning, just before the sun rises from behind the hills, and all the birds are singing, its tower seems to glow from within. Yes, sometimes a story's beginning fools the eye, the way a fata morgana projects a landscape that may in fact lie hundreds of miles beyond the horizon. But sometimes, too, persons who do not appear to share even a footprint's worth of common ground turn out to have destinies bound together in painful knots. Indeed, it was in the midst of the Iturbides's domestic idyl that, beyond the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, in his still under-construction Miramar Castle, the Archduke Maximilian von Habsburg very reluctantly accepted the Mexican throne— that same throne which had belonged to the ill-starred Don Agustín de Iturbide. The Archduke's reluctance was an ugly embarrassment for all concerned. However, the details of the episode were not generally known until years afterwards when most of the participants had gone to their reward, for, in Austria and in Mexico during the French Occupation, sharp-eyed censors inspected letters, magazines, newspapers, and telegrams, and they had not the least hesitation in confiscating matter their superiors might deem offensive. Which is not to suggest that no one in Mexico knew of the troubles surrounding the Archduke's acceptance of the Mexican throne, merely, that the Iturbides, as most members of Mexico City society, were not privy to the whole of it. This turned out to have exceedingly unfortunate consequences.
C. M. Mayo has been living in and writing about Mexico for many years. Her story collection, Sky Over El Nido, won the Flannery O' Connor award for short fiction.

"People are 15 times more likely to save, and save more, with payroll deductions," said Tobias Read, Oregon's state treasurer and chairman of the Oregon Retirement Savings Board.
The plan, Mr. Read said, was built on the ideas of Richard M. Thaler, the winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize for economics, who advocates payroll savings plans as essentially "the only way that middle-class Americans reliably save for retirement. Your grandmother probably knew that the best way to save money is to put money aside before you have a chance to spend it. That approach has always worked — and is a core idea embedded in these plans," Mr. Thaler wrote in a 2013 New York Times column.


For 10 straight years, Chase Rohlfsen and the team at Rubline Marketing in Traer have worked with clients across the country and around the world promoting their brands through a variety of different methods, and Rohlfsen hopes they're only getting started.
Rubline Marketing was started in September 2008 by Chase Rohlfsen out of his home in Dysart with two employees by his side. The business grew and was moved into a leased building in Traer. In March of 2018, Rubline Marketing then purchased their current 6,000 sq ft building on Main Street and now have eight employees.
"This was an opportunity to take my previous career in sales and marketing and set up businesese and brands," Rohlfsen said. "The outdoors industry didn't really have what I wanted to build. When the financial and automotive sector went to hell, I decided what better time than now to start my own business."
From left to right: Mark Watson, Graphic Design; Chase Rohlfsen, President; Mike Hecht, General Manager. Not pictured: Brian Smith, Vice-President, Keegan Rohlfsen, Photography; Dave Graham, Photography; Chad Billick, Strategy; Michelle Smith, Assistant.
Today, Rubline Marketing works with 27 national and global brands with 60 percent being hunting brands, 30 percent shooting sports and 10 percent camping/hardware. The full-service marketing firm does anything from media buying, campaigns, social, digital, ad work and strategies for clients.
"How many people get to play with weapons and outdoor accessories like I do?" Rohlfsen said. "My clientele is everything from archery manufacturing to guns to optics. We market to law enforcement and hunters, so we get to work with a fun sector of the consumer all the way in San Diego up to New Hampshire and down in Texas. We also have parents company based in Japan and Germany. When got in this, we realized the global markets were more of niche fit for us."
According to Rohlfsen, the new office space allows for far more space to do photo shoots of their client's products and more video production for commercials. The office also has better lighting, more angles to choose from, more leg space and bigger backdrop for their advertisements.
"I'm going to push for this business no matter what," Rohlfsen said. "We have a lot of fun here. Everyone here knows there jobs. I've surrounded myself with smart people and we have a great staff. The best thing I ever did was hire people smarter than myself."
Communication is key to Rubline Marketing's everyday operation. According to Rohlfsen, a majority of the employees' days are spent communicating with clients and one another via telephone or by video conference. In a year, Rohlfsen will travel to 15 to 18 states and three countries. The first 36 weeks of the years are the busiest in terms of travel as he's aways for 28-30 of those weeks. After that, he slows down to spend more time in the office. This also allows the employees to sit down and think about their future going forward as they look to expand services.
"We're looking at hardware segments, automotive segments, new marketing streams for us," Rohlfsen said. "Our goal is to provide more services that go beyond the strategic vision of our clients. We build the the ads and then place them into medians we purchsed. The next evolution of our business is marketing on Amazon with an additional expert that will handle that for our clients. We want to get more into the Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Management side of things to compliment our web building for our clients."

French Bulldogs, predicted soon to become the most popular dog breed in the UK, are vulnerable to a number of health conditions, according to a new study published in the open access journal Canine Genetics and Epidemiology.
Researchers at The Royal Veterinary College (RVC), UK found that the most common issues in French Bulldogs over a one year period were ear infections, diarrhea and conjunctivitis (inflammation of the eye surface).
The authors suggest that the distinctive appearance of the French Bulldog, with their short muzzles and wide, prominent eyes, may be a key factor influencing their popularity. However, these characteristics may also increase the risk for some of the health problems seen in French Bulldogs. For example breathing issues, seen in 12.7% of the dogs in this study, are a known problem in breeds with short noses and flat faces. Skin problems overall were the most common group of health issues and the authors suggest that this may be due to the skin folds that are characteristic of the breed.
The authors analyzed data on 2,228 French Bulldogs under veterinary care during 2013 from 304 UK clinics, collected in the VetCompass™ database. The French Bulldogs had a median age of 1.3 years old compared to a median age of 4.5 years for the other dog breeds in the VetCompass™ database. This reflects the growth in popularity of French Bulldogs.
The authors caution that the study may even under-estimate the true number of dogs with health problems as the data may include more severely affected animals that require veterinary management. Additionally, as French Bulldogs have only recently become popular the data was mostly collected from young dogs and it is well recognized that health problems generally become more common with age.

Avaya is unveiling a new line of low-cost IP Phones and a new IP PBX system designed for enterprises with many branch offices.
Avaya at Interop on May 21 will target two types of voice over IP buyers with a new IP PBX system designed for enterprises with many branch offices and a new line of low-cost IP Phones.
Avayas new Avaya Distributed Office System distributes call processing out to individual branches, but gives IT operators centralized management and control of those systems. It can provide retailers, financial services organizations and other highly distributed organizations with a consistent set of IP Telephony functions and scale up to 1,000 branch offices.
"This is the first branch solution designed for the distributed enterprise—those enterprises that are by design branch-based, such as retail organizations with thousands of stores, financial services organizations with hundreds or thousands of branches or offices," said Steve Hardy, director of global product marketing at Avaya in Basking Ridge, N.J.
The Avaya Distributed Office System uses industry standard Session Initiation Protocols to distribute call processing to each location. The use of SIP enables the IP PBX to work with any SIP-enabled phone, including the new Avaya one-X Deskphone Value Edition line of IP phones.
Hardy said Avaya in its own research found that in large enterprises, about 90 percent of employees work outside corporate headquarters. "But most solutions are not designed with the needs of the branch in mind, so we provided a set of features really targeted at the branch worker and the needs of the IT manager managing a network of individual branches," he said.
Such features include click to conference, integrated instant messaging as well as basic key system features most employees are familiar with such as coverage path for incoming calls, speed dial numbers for individual employees, assigned number prefixes for inter-branch calling and so on.
Users in fact access the functions with a touch-tone keypad, which can help reduce the amount of training required to use the system.
For the IT manager Avaya created a single interface for provisioning moves, adds and changes and for upgrading either individual or all branch networks. To speed deployment, the Avaya Distributed Office can be configured according to the needs of the organization at the factory and shipped pre-configured to each site.
"The IT manager can program all the features of a location or type of location in advance and click to drop ship that onto the site," said Hardy.
The system, made up of Avaya hardware and software, comes in two versions. The i40 supports up to 40 users and the i120 supports 120 users. It is due May 29 and starts at $350 per user.
Avaya with the new Avaya one-X Deskphone Value Edition IP phones will up the ante for IP phone makers by bundling in higher end features in a lower cost phone line.
The three new IP phones in the line use dual LED indicators and fixed feature buttons for transfer, hold, conference and so on combined with softkeys, a navigation wheel and in certain models a context-sensitive user interface. They also include two-way speakerphones and multi-line functions.
To make it easy for users familiar with typical key system functions, Avaya included fixed keys for the most commonly used functions.
Not only do the phones offer more competitive pricing – they range from $139 to $299—they can also reduce operating, training and administrative costs, believes early user Jeff Welsh, senior technical support specialist in the State of Maines Office of Information Technology in Augusta.
/zimages/2/28571.gifRead more here about other Avaya one-X phones.
"I could just take a Value Edition phone and replace it with somebodys digital phone and they wouldnt know otherwise. As far as deployment goes, with a lot of them we can just hand the phones out and have them plug their phone into their computer. So administration and set up costs are lower. And with the IP set we can cut our in-house wiring down by half," he said.
The three new models include the 1602 entry level phone with backlit display and key system type interface priced at $139. The 1608 is a mainstream, full-featured phone aimed at the majority of users and the 1616 is intended for use by a receptionist or any type of heavy phone user.
"All three are designed as basic, but high quality phones for customers who are the most cost sensitive," said Hardy.
The new Value Edition phones are due in June.

Well, in light of the current housing market we've all but opted for plan B. Which is take out a home equity loan to cover our move and rent out the house till it sells. It seems that like everyone else we have to find a way to wait out this slump. In the mean time we're still waiting for Mike's passport (he applied over 14 weeks ago), then we can apply for the visas.... It's all fairly tedious.
I'm trying to get as much work done on my graphic novel as I can this week as I'll be quite busy next week, teaching my summer writing workshop at the library and reading Harry Potter (the final book will be here soon!). I signed up all three kids to go to a Harry Potter party on Friday night... It sounds like it should be fun they're running tons of activities, and the kids are getting dressed up.
Oh boy, I seem to be yawning uncontrollably. Chloe's in a fiction writing class that starts at 8am, so I've been getting up at 6:45am... I'm just not a morning person. It's my own fault, as usual I've scheduled my kids through the whole summer with various camps and activities. It's a compulsion I have to keep them busy (it also keeps them from the TV and from fighting with each other). Oh well, till next time.

"God's Rich, Steadfast Love"
Listen to us read this message on your audio player.
"O give thanks to the God of heaven, for His steadfast love endures forever" (Psalm 136:26). "The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love" (Psalm 145:8). "Give thanks to the Lord of hosts, for the Lord is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!" (Jeremiah 33:11). "The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases" (Lamentations 3:22).
You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger
Your name is great, and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find
Sunday afternoon we led a service at Longwood Manor, a local nursing home. As is often the case I wear a tie with a Scripture verse on it. Prior to the service an elderly resident approached me, looked at my tie and slowly read the verse (John 3:16). During my message I had the folks recite the verse together. A reminder of God's love, regardless of our age or how long we've walked with God, is always a great source of encouragement.
Today let us consider God's rich and steadfast love. Our daily verse makes a statement that I believe is often taken for granted even by devout believers. "The Lord is ... rich in love". Perhaps when Matt Redman wrote his popular song, "Ten Thousand Reasons" that has the line "You're rich in love" he had this verse in mind. Consider the multitude of ways that God's attribute of rich or abundant love is extended to this world, waiting to be received.
Contrast God's rich, steadfast love with the often fickle love that is expressed by humans. A couple may stand before the altar of the church being united in marriage, pledging their love to one another, "till death do us part." But so very often that pledge just doesn't hold. Surely marital love is to be the greatest form of human love, along with that of parents to their children.
In contrast we consider the searing pain in the voice of one who has been rejected. We've heard it more than once through our years of ministry. "He (or she) left and said, 'I just don't love you anymore'." Due to the vacillations of human love we may tend to transfer that over to our understanding of God's love.
But the Scriptures abundantly teach about the immutable character of God, as expressed in our fourth daily text, "The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases." The verse has a repetitive impact for emphasis. His love is steadfast and it never ceases. Other versions translate:
"Certainly the faithful love of the Lord hasn't ended."
"The faithful love of the Lord never ends!"
"The Lord's unfailing love and mercy still continue."
"The Lord's love never ends."
"How enduring is God's loyal love."
God's love is rich and steadfast. "The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love." Another version states "abounding in steadfast love."
Today we know there are many reading this encouragement who have been deeply wounded by faltering human love. You may be an abandoned spouse or you may be a child who never knew the love of a responsible, caring parent. Sadly we have observed parents essentially abandoned by their adult children who are too busy to give them the attention they need in life's twilight years. You may be experiencing the rejection of those whom you considered friends or even your brothers and sisters in Christ.
Hear the words of Holy Scripture today and rest in God's rich, steadfast love. It is steady, sure and unfailing. He continues to express His love to us without ceasing, without vacillation, and without condition. "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness" (Jeremiah 31:3). No matter the troubles before us today, we can declare the praises of Him who is rich and steadfast in love toward those whom He created, and that includes you!
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.
His mercies never come to an end.
They are new every morning, new every morning,
Great is Thy faithfulness, O Lord. Great is Thy faithfulness.
Daily prayer: Father, we are a blessed people because You choose to be "merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love" toward Your creation. These complimentary characteristics of mercy, grace, longsuffering and steadfast love are evident in Your choice to forgive those who repent and believe Your promises in Christ Jesus. If You had merely sent Jesus to teach us about Himself and serve as our example, that would have been far more than we deserve. But You sent Him to die for our sins. He was rich in love toward us, not after we cleaned up the mess of our lives, but even while we were dead in our trespasses and sins. Such love is supreme, steadfast and unending in supply. Thank You for meeting our greatest need and caring about our smallest one. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
The Psalmist asks "Has His steadfast love for ever ceased? Are His promises at an end for all time?" (Psalm 77:8).
"Satisfy us in the morning with thy steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days" (Psalm 90:14).
"Who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy" (Psalm 103:4).
"The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love" (Psalm 103:8).
"For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His steadfast love toward those who fear Him" (Psalm 103:11).
"But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children's children" (Psalm 103:17).

LISTEN: Latroit's Spatial Audio Mix of "Dance My Tears Away" Delivers Compelling, Multi-Sensory Listening Experience with L-ISA Studio
Grammy Award-winning producer leverages L-ISA Studio platform, dramatically expanding sonic canvas for both artist and listener
Westlake Village, California, July 26, 2021 — Grammy Award-winning electronic dance music producer and songwriter Dennis White, better known as Latroit, recently teamed up with L-Acoustics to create an immersive mix of his latest release, "Dance My Tears Away," a collaboration with Australian singer Charlz. Latroit mixed the song using
L-Acoustics' L-ISA Studio software at the company's California headquarters, which houses a facility outfitted for L-Acoustics object-based spatial audio technology: L-ISA Immersive Hyperreal Sound.
The song's melody and lyrics were written seven years ago by Charlz after she experienced a loss in her life. "It shocked me in the heart, the first time I heard it," says Latroit, who spent the next several years tinkering with the track, never fully satisfied that it relayed the song's heartfelt underpinnings. After going through a life-changing event of his own in early 2021, he was more determined than ever to come up with a definitive version that would do the song justice. "Knowing how much that song meant lyrically," he says, "I had to step up to the occasion musically and emotionally."
An expansive sonic canvas
As a newcomer to spatial audio in general and L-ISA Studio in particular, Latroit collaborated with L-Acoustics L-ISA engineer Carlos Mosquera on the immersive mix of "Dance My Tears Away."
An immersive, spatial audio mix provided the ideal canvas for a song that had seen several remix iterations over the years and a project file rich in 72 tracks, offering limitless creative options. "When you have so many versions of a song, there are so many tracks that you can make full use of all the space and multiple speakers," Latroit says.
The software, which can be operated from a touch screen, was very intuitive. "I instantly got it. The ability to work on a tactile interface made it really easy," says Latroit. "L-ISA also has a visual component; you can see where things are in the room on the screen and manipulate them, and immediately hear them in real time. I'm quite a visual guy, so that was helpful," he adds. L-ISA Studio software has been nominated for a 2022 NAMM TEC Award in the Outstanding Technical Achievement category.
Along with L-ISA, L-Acoustics' BluSpace standard offers a match to human hearing response, arraying 13 speakers horizontally at 15-degree intervals in front of the listener with another five behind, 30 degrees apart, plus subwoofers and overheads.

A different kind of kitchen
While there was plenty of experimentation in the mix process, Mosquera helped him keep things focused. "You get the possibilities immediately. But what takes a second — and Carlos was very patient with me — is the discipline. You're in a kitchen with all the flavors that you like, but they don't really go together all at once. Carlos and I discussed what would be interesting versus distracting."
Latroit, an analog synth enthusiast, offers the example of one of his favorite mono analog synths, Pioneer DJ's Toraiz AS-1, designed with Dave Smith Instruments, for its creative possibilities in the song. "You can only play one note at a time, so each note got its own track and its own space and place in the arrangement. One four-note chord has four tracks, so each note could be represented in a different place in the room. I get chills thinking about it," he says.
After experimenting with different locations and environments for the lead vocal, he continues, "I ended up in a cathedral with Charlz as the voice of God. Her voice is clean in front of you and there is this cathedral wash behind you."
Latroit credits his friend, Oscar-winning sound designer Mark Mangini, for influencing his approach to production. "I learned a lot from him. This is where I developed the narrative about the impact of technology with songwriting. Mark taught me a lot about how he tells stories with sound."

Pushing the sonic envelope with L-ISA Studio
"Dance My Tears Away" is released by Secret Technology, the imprint established by influential DJ, music supervisor and tastemaker Jason Bentley, former music director of NPR Southern California affiliate KCRW. Latroit and Charlz also collaborated on Secret Technology's debut release in June 2020, a reimagined version of Peter Gabriel's "Don't Give Up."
"Jason was the driving force behind this," Latroit says. "It was his concept to do something with L-Acoustics that was interesting and fun." A binaural version of the immersive mix of "Dance My Tears Away" is available on YouTube. The stereo mix of the song can also be found on all major streaming platforms, with release of an L-ISA Studio version mixed for Dolby Atmos in the pipeline.
L-Acoustics and Latroit look forward to people hearing his immersive mix of "Dance My Tears Away" and enjoying a short video mixed binaurally which documents the creative process. The song will be introduced at the upcoming DJ Expo in Atlantic City where attendees will have the opportunity to interact directly with the track in L-ISA Studio.
At the end of the mixing session, Latroit was able to experience the track in Island by L-Acoustics Creations, a luxurious 360° immersive sound lounge embedded with concert-grade loudspeakers. "Sound on this level is like an acoustic weighted blanket, ensconcing you and surrounding you and taking you into a different world. You hear with every part of your body. You hear and you feel. I'm excited about people experiencing this," he says. "Thanks to L-Acoustics for making it possible; I'm honored and excited to be part of the first wave of artists to use the technology."

Four Operating Models (OMs) reflecting an "Optimistic", "Intermediate", "Less Pessimistic" and a "Pessimistic" current status for the toothfish resource in the Prince Edward Islands region are developed which take account of the different selectivities of past longline and pot fisheries. These models are used for trials of a candidate Management Procedure (MP) which could provide future TAC recommendations for this resource. The MP uses two data sources: the recent trend in longline CPUE and the mean length of the catches made. A specific MP, with its associated control parameter values, is proposed for implementation based upon the results of the trials. Given the importance of an adequate catch rate for the economic viability of the fishery, the choice of control parameter values focused primarily on a reasonable probability of securing a catch rate increase, whatever the current resource status. MP performance is reasonably robust across a range of sensitivity tests, though does deteriorate in conservation terms if steepness h is low. These tests also indicate that monitoring of future catch-at-length information would be necessary to guard against a change in selectivity towards greater catches of older fish.

Q: Writing JQuery plugin is better than writing javascript function? Can somebody please explain the pros and cons for below.
Am having a function to get the url querystring parameters, but I need to know which is the best way to write the function. Eg: if i create the function using jquery plugin style, then every time I need to use a target element to access the function as below
$("#targetDom").getQueryString("name");

However, if I create the function using javascript classes or javascript design pattern, it would be
getQueryString("name");

This is a small example but considering large application which approach is best? is there any disadvantage in going with jquery plugin way?

A: The answer will depend on who you ask.
My answer is, if you're already using jQuery on your page (meaning leveraging jQuery won't require you to import additional resources) then go ahead and use jQuery to write your extension.  jQuery does internal chaching which I believe can actually make your code faster than using native JavaScript in some cases.
If you're not already using jQuery, using vanilla JavaScript for your particular task isn't complex enough a problem to require (or even suggest you might want to use) jQuery.

A: You don't have to create a jQuery function for every functionality, especially if you are not going to be dealing with the DOM, which seems to be your case.

However, you might want to group such functions in a small library of your own application, which can be reused in other applications as well.
For example:
var utils = {
    getQueryString : function(name){}
};

and access it like this...
utils.getQueryString("name");

Eg: if i create the function using jquery plugin style, then every
  time I need to use a target element to access the function as below

No, you don't. You can run the function like this as well $.fn.getQueryString("name");.


Re: How to develop a leader inside you?
The formula I discovered is this: you must know what you want and be ready to take the responsibility for your decisions and actions.
The opposite automatically makes you a follower.
Leader just do, they do not tell what they are doing next, they just do (there are certainly cases where communication is required, but try to understand what cases I refering here to). Telling others what you are going to do is simply sharing responsibility with others and a form of asking them permission.
And if you do not know what you want or do not accept you wanting something, you end up searching and allowing others to lead the situation.

Scantrol is proud to have successfully upgraded a Saab Seaeye Leopard ROV LARS to have Active Heave Compensation in only 3 days. The retrofit allows the customer, a Japanese marine science company, to continue working in tough weather conditions by increasing operational time of the vessel and reducing the risk of damage to the system.
– When our partner in the UK, Hydramec, got a request from Saab Seaeye to upgrade an existing Launch & Recovery system, Scantrol was contacted to supply the AHC controls. Even if though we have done several systems together in the past, this was the first time an upgrade of a Leopard ROV LARS system has been carried out, explains senior design engineer Rolf Krogh Hjelmeland, responsible for the offshore segment.
The project was carried out in Japan in May where Hydramec and Scantrol took up the task of retro fitting Active heave compensation to an existing LARS 1055, a 3000 meter rated Leopard ROV Launch and recovery system. Testing and research was done at the Hydramec facilities to find the optimal and most cost effective way to perform the upgrade of the LARS systems.
Kaiyo Engineering, a Japanese marine science company, is using the Leopard to explore the feasibility of seabed mining. Adding AHC to the ROV LARS means that the client can work in tougher sea conditions as the system keeps the tether management system stable relative to the ROV while docking and undocking. This results in increased operational time for the vessel. Scantrol AHC also focus on safety, ease of use and efficient commissioning.
The requirement from the Japanese client was to achieve AHC in a 3 meters swell over an 8 second period. The ability of the system was run through the Scantrol analyzer before the job was undertaken and it was found that the winch could compensate for up to 4 meters in 10 seconds. This in turn meant that the system only needed the minimum of hydraulic modifications to allow the system to have AHC fitted.
The project was started and completed in 3 working days meaning that the downtime to the client was minimal. After the modifications, Dyna-tests were carried out on the winch to ensure that the compensation level met the client's specification.
– Good results and high performance were witnessed by the client and signed off once completed. The system is now operational and all feedback from the client has been positive, said Danny Church, Managing Director at Hydramec.
Scantrol has developed a set of supportive tools that is used during the design, testing, operation and for remote support. The Scantrol toolbox ensures adequate AHC winch capacity, large time-savings in testing, intuitive monitoring of operations and rapid, cost effective support independent of where the vessel is located. It is the toolbox that makes it possible for Scantrol to complete a retrofit within 3 days.

The First CHILD'S PLAY Remake Trailer Tries To Play Coy | Birth.Movies.Death.
When it comes to Child's Play, we are a Don Mancini household here at BMD. This is his series and therefore all reverence paid to it goes to his address. In other words, this non-Mancini remake already has an uphill battle ahead of it.
But we are not savages who will just dismiss a film out of hand. There's room for this remake thing to be okay, right? At the end of the day, we just want good horror films.
It strikes me as curious to make a movie on the strength of a known IP (in this case, Chucky) and then put out a trailer that plays coy about revealing that known quantity. This trailer tries to build suspense out of the idea that a doll could be killing people. I think we're all already on board with that idea at this point. So let's see the dumb doll.
Unfortunately, that will have to wait for another trailer. About the only interesting elements on display here are the fact that the film will feature violence (hey, we take nothing for granted!) and a bit showing off Nu-Chucky's technological enhancements, which will probably be the main individual hook from which this film hangs. Also, Aubrey Plaza almost hangs at one point.
Child's Play is expected to come out June 21.


HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 26, 2017-- Westlake Chemical Partners LP (NYSE: WLKP) (the "Partnership") today announced that it has agreed to acquire an additional 5.0% limited partner interest in Westlake Chemical OpCo LP ("OpCo") for approximately $229.2 million. The transaction, which is expected to close in connection with the concurrently announced equity offering by the Partnership, is expected to be immediately accretive to the Partnership's MLP distributable cash flow.
Consideration for the acquisition is expected to be funded with borrowings under the Partnership's revolving credit agreement (the "MLP Revolver") and proceeds from the concurrently announced equity offering by the Partnership. This transaction will increase the Partnership's limited partner interest in OpCo from approximately 13.3% to approximately 18.3% and will represent the second purchase of additional interests in OpCo by the Partnership since its initial public offering. OpCo's assets are comprised of three ethylene production facilities, which primarily convert ethane into ethylene and have an aggregate annual capacity of approximately 3.7 billion pounds, and a 200-mile ethylene pipeline. OpCo sells approximately 95% of its ethylene production to Westlake Chemical Corporation under a long-term supply agreement, which provides for a stable $0.10 margin per pound. OpCo intends to use the proceeds it receives in connection with this transaction to repay borrowings under its intercompany debt agreements with Westlake Chemical Corporation.
The terms of the acquisition were approved by a Conflicts Committee, which is comprised entirely of independent directors of the board of directors of Westlake Chemical Partners GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership. This committee was advised by Jefferies LLC as to financial matters and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP as to legal matters.
Westlake Chemical Corporation's legal counsel was Vinson & Elkins LLP.
The statements in this release that are not historical facts, but forward-looking statements, including the impact of the described acquisition on the Partnership's cash available for distribution, availability of funds and the expectation of long-term distribution growth, could be adversely affected by, among other things, operating difficulties; the volume of ethylene that we are able to sell; the price at which we are able to sell ethylene; changes in the price and availability of feedstocks; changes in prevailing economic conditions; actions of Westlake Chemical Corporation or other third parties; inclement or hazardous weather conditions, including flooding, and the physical impacts of climate change; environmental hazards; changes in laws and regulations (or the interpretation thereof); inability to acquire or maintain necessary permits; inability to obtain necessary production equipment or replacement parts; technical difficulties or failures; labor disputes; difficulty collecting receivables; inability of our customers to take delivery; fires, explosions or other industrial accidents; our ability to borrow funds and access capital markets; and other risk factors. For more detailed information about the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially for the projections contained herein, please refer to the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Westlake Chemical Partners is a limited partnership formed by Westlake Chemical Corporation to operate, acquire and develop ethylene production facilities and other qualified assets. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, the Partnership, following the closing of the acquisition described above, is expected to own an approximately 18.3% limited partner interest in Westlake Chemical OpCo LP. Westlake Chemical OpCo LP's assets consist of three ethylene production facilities in Calvert City, Kentucky, and Lake Charles, Louisiana and an ethylene pipeline.
