Das dänische Unternehmen Kopenhagen Fur ist das weltweit führende Auktionshaus für Pelzfelle und das Zentrum des internationalen Pelzhandels. Es befindet sich in Glostrup, etwas außerhalb von Kopenhagen, mit Sitz im Langagervej 60. Es ist genossenschaftliches Eigentum der Mitglieder des 1930 gegründeten dänischen Pelzzüchterverbandes.

Geschichte

Im Jahr 1946 erwarb eine Gruppe dänischer Pelztierfarmer das kleine Auktionshaus "Kjøbenhavns Pelscentral" und benannte es in "Danish Fur Auctions" um, den heutigen Pelzzüchterverband Kopenhagen Fur. Seitdem entwickelte sich das Auktionshaus zu einem Unternehmen mit rund 400 Mitarbeitern. Als das Kopenhagen Fur Center am 5. September 2004 seine Marketing-Allianz mit Saga Furs of Scandinavia beendete, nahm es mehrere Änderungen vor. Das Pelzzentrum benannte sich in Kopenhagen Fur um, mit der Besonderheit des "K" anstelle "C" des englischen Copenhagen. Kopenhagen Fur ist inzwischen der Name sowohl für den Verband als auch für das Auktionshaus selbst.

Das Firmengelände in Glostrup wurde am 9. Dezember 1963 im Beisein von König Frederik, Königin Ingrid und Prinzessin Benedikte eingeweiht. Das Gelände umfasste damals, einschließlich Büros, Auktionsraum und Fellinspektionshalle, 8659 Quadratmeter, 50 Jahre später waren es über 70.000. Der heutige Auktionssaal ist ein winkelförmiges Anhängsel an den Rest des Hauptsitzes. Die Mimik und Gestik des Auktionators und die Reaktion der Bieter im Saal muss aus der Ferne gut erkennbar sein. Daher wurde besondere Aufmerksamkeit auf die Beleuchtung und auf eine gute Akustik gelegt. Zu Auktionszeiten wurden von 600 m² Küchen-, Spül- und Lagerräumen aus etwa 2500 Kantinengäste versorgt.

Der größte Teil der europäischen Pelzproduktion wurde bereits damals von Finnish Fur Sales (Finnland) oder Copenhagen Fur Center (CFC) (Dänemark) vermarktet. Nach dreijähriger Planung koordinierte die Abteilung Empress Chinchilla von CFC 1963 die weltweite Pelzproduktion der Chinchillazüchter. In der Regel werden die Felle unzugerichtet, als Rohfelle gehandelt. 1979 fanden die wichtigsten Auktionen im Januar, März, Mai und Dezember bei CFC statt. Bis 1999 kamen etwa 500 Käufer aus 15 Ländern nach Kopenhagen, um für rund 12 Millionen Nerzfelle zu bieten.

Kopenhagen Fur führte zeitweilig fünf Auktionen pro Jahr durch, bei denen jeweils fast 30 Millionen Nerzfelle, aber auch Fuchspelze, Swakarafelle und Chinchillafelle angeboten wurden. In Spitzenzeiten ist man in der Lage, 150.000 Felle an einem Tag zu verpacken und zu sortieren. Im Jahr 2020 soll das Unternehmen für 40 % der weltweiten Nerzpelzproduktion verantwortlich gewesen sein. Die bis dahin größte Menge einer Auktion wurde mit 8,5 Millionen Fellen im Juni 2017 angeboten. Das Bieten war inzwischen auch per Livestream möglich und wurde besonders von asiatischen Käufern wahrgenommen.

Im Jahr 2011 wurden erstmals auch Felle amerikanischer Nerzfarmer zum Verkauf angeboten. Nachdem das Geschäft mit China immer wichtiger geworden war, eröffnete Kopenhagen Fur im Oktober 2014 dort ein großflächiges Zollfreilager in Tong Er Pu.

Kopenhagen Fur setzt für Nerzfelle Farbsortiermaschinen ein, die diese Arbeit automatisieren. 2016 wurde eine neue Generation in Betrieb genommen, die zusätzlich die Fell- und die Haarlängen maß. Seit diesem Jahr besteht auch die Möglichkeit, die Felle vor dem Versand vakuumzuverpacken, um die Sendungsgröße zu reduzieren und einen Schädlingsbefall zu verhindern. In den Jahren 2015 und 2016 wurden zwei zusätzliche große Lagerhallen in Betrieb genommen.

In der zweiten Hälfte des Jahres 2020 straffte Kopenhagen Fur sein Label-System für Nerzfelle auf zwei Unterteilungen, "Purple Label" mit besonders feinen, kurzen Grannenhaaren, leicht und seidig mit dichter voller Unterwolle; sowie "Premium Quality Label" (vorher Platinum-, Burgundy- und Ivory-Qualität) mit feinen gleichlangen Grannenhaaren und voller dichter Unterwolle.

Kopenhagen Fur befasste sich im Laufe seines Bestehens zunehmend auch mit der Vermarktung von Produkten von Nichtmitgliedern. Dazu gehörten oder gehören unter anderem Swakarafelle aus Namibia, Chinchillafelle und Wildware, wie beispielsweise nordamerikanische Waschbärfelle oder Seehundfelle aus der Jagd der indigenen Bevölkerung Grönlands.

Für Branchenmitglieder wurden regelmäßig Kurse zum Sortieren von Pelzfellen veranstaltet. Unter dem Brand Nexus wurden, innerhalb des Kreativcenters KiCK, Designer mit der Pelzverarbeitung vertraut gemacht und aktuelles Pelzdesign entworfen und erarbeitet. Kopenhagen Nexus unterstützt Mode- und Textilmarken weltweit bei der Integration von Pelz in ihre Kollektionen und übernimmt das Produktionsmanagement der Pelzmodelle im Auftrag der Marken. Dabei lagert Nexus die Pelzproduktion an Hersteller innerhalb ihres Netzwerks aus. 2012 war eine eigene, im Jahr 2020 wieder eingestellte Marke Oh! für Pelzprodukte etabliert worden.

Die Ware Pelz war schon immer besonders großen Preisschwankungen unterworfen. Ursachen waren, neben den allgemeinen Konjunkturschwankungen, der unterschiedliche Fellanfall, die modeabhängige Nachfrage und zuletzt der Zeitgeist mit einer zunehmenden Abnahme der Akzeptanz von Tierprodukten. Das Auktionshaus wurde erstmals zwischen 2008 und 2009 erheblich vom weltweiten wirtschaftlichen Abschwung getroffen, die Pelzpreise fielen in der Zeit um 30 Prozent. Den größten Einbruch in die Unternehmensgeschichte brachte die Keulung von etwa 15 Millionen Farmnerzen im sogenannten Nerzskandal in Dänemark während der Coronavirus-Pandemie. Mit der Entscheidung der Regierung vom 3. November 2020 wurde der größte Produktionssektor für Nerzfelle in der Europäischen Union zerstört. Es stellte sich später heraus, dass dafür die rechtliche Grundlage fehlte und der dänische Landwirtschaftsminister trat zurück.

Für das Jahr 2023 wurden viermal acht Verkaufstage angesetzt.

Whether you're an 11 year old kid aspiring to be the next great MLB player, or a high school senior looking to attract the right scouts, you can learn quite a bit from attending baseball training programs. The key is to find the right one that is headed by an experienced coach that knows how to motivate and teach. If you're considering a program for the first time, here are some things that you can expect the instructor to cover.
It takes more to pitch a ball than just moving your arms. You have to have the proper stance to deliver that ball exactly the way you want to. This is taught in baseball training camps, and some instructors will cover this extensively. Once you learn the proper way to position your body before pitching the ball, you should practice this until it becomes second nature to you.
A lot of trainer's spend quality time teaching students how to pitch. This is an important part of the game, and developing this skill could get you to the big leagues. Velocity is a huge part of pitching, so expect to learn how to pitch harder. This will require some hard work, but the results will prove to be well worth it in the end.
Most baseball training programs will also cover hitting. Depending on the level that you're training at, these could be advanced sessions, or ones that cover the basics. Students that are just starting out will learn how to position themselves while holding the bat, and how to focus on the ball. If you're very new, the trainer may even go over the rules of the game just to make sure that you have a basic understanding of them.
Baseball training programs can be helpful regardless of your level of expertise in the game. They're designed to enhance your current skills, or teach you the rules of the game if you're a newbie in this area. There are several programs available, but beware because all of them aren't created equal. You want to make sure that your coach has experience in the game, as well as experience in teaching the game to others. Do your homework when you began looking for a training program. The right one can help you move to the next level in baseball.
When you're looking to enhance your skills in the game, baseball training programs are a great resource. Visit pitchharder.com to learn how to improve your pitch and increase your velocity.

Introduce you to Post Crisis Planning for more information on how to make an action plan visit the website.
The Stem4 – CALM HARM app provides tasks that help you resist or manage the urge to self-harm. You can add your own tasks too and it's completely private and password protected.
The app contains four categories of tasks which target the main reasons people self-harm. Distract helps to combat the urge by learning self-control; Comfort helps to care rather than harm; Express gets those feelings out in a different way and Release provides safe alternatives to self-injury. Available on iPhone, iPad and Android.
Visit the Stem 4 website for more information.
Remember, self-harm is usually a response to a traumatic event, or a way to cope with how you are feeling. It is important to address the underlying issues, as well as manage the act of self-harm, see the 'Where can you go for help' section below for information on who can help.
Support them to implement their WRAP (Wellness & Recovery Action Plan) if they have one.
If you are worried about how you are feeling, or worried about a friend, there are loads of places you can get support and advice. You could talk to a friend, family member or trusted adult, your school nurse or GP. In some circumstances your GP may refer you to CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service). You can find out more about CAMHS by clicking here.
Alternatively you will find a list of organisations you can contact on the Young Minds website. Remember, it is important not to focus on the self-harm act itself but the reasons behind it – only once these issues are addressed will it be easier to address the self-harming behaviour and implement relevant strategies.

Cruz Wins Iowa; Trump Makes Second Place Great Again; Rubio Surges
Source: Daily Wire | February 1, 2016 | Ben Shapiro
On Monday, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), the most conservative man in the Republican field and the target of attacks from Donald Trump, establishment Republicans, and the media, won a tremendous victory in the Iowa caucus. Literally every poll going into Monday had Trump up, and up significantly – in the RealClearPolitics poll average coming into Monday, Trump led by 4.7 points, clocking in at 28.6 percent; Cruz averaged 23.9 percent; and Marco Rubio averaged 16.9 percent.
As of 7:15 p.m. PT, Cruz had outperformed the polls by about four percent; Rubio had outperformed by over six percent; Trump had underperformed by four percent. The media treated the entire evening as an exercise in Rubio Comeback Narrative™, but the real winner of the evening was obviously Cruz, the man dismissed by pollsters, mocked by the press, dismissed by the establishment elites, slandered by fans of Trump. Cruz smacked down the Donald, whose entire narrative was that he "wins," by doing the hard, on-the-ground work required to actually achieve victory. And what's more, he won the Iowa caucuses while fundamentally rejecting the boondoggle crony capitalist policy nearest and dearest to many Iowans: ethanol.
That's a massive story, no matter how you slice it. And it's a far bigger story than Rubio's rise, given the fact that Rubio finished third, took no serious heat from Trump or the media other than one very rough question from Megyn Kelly in the last debate, and now has to compete with a bevy of other establishment-lane favorites in New Hampshire.
So, here's where we stand: Cruz has shown he can both take a punch and throw one. Rubio has been able to ride media favor to a better-than-expected finish. And Trump is clearly less formidable with voters than with pollsters.
But here's the big point of the night: Donald Trump can be beaten. In fact, here's some live footage of the Cruz campaign informing Trump of the results:

Think about this. Cruz stood up to big ethanol AND WON. He got the most votes EVER in a Republican caucus.
This really is YUGE
Consistent February 2, 2016 at 12:06 am #258
What is Trump going to do to save his face?
Who is he going to blame? Stupid Iowans?
He basically said that Iowa doesn't matter and they are going to go on and win in New Hampshire. I was hoping for a "Dean Scream" but no such luck.
slhancock1948 February 2, 2016 at 12:14 am #260
I am so pleased that Cruz won. I pray that it gives him a big surge, even in NH, although it is not a conservative state, maybe the win in IA will give him some help there. I think it will surely help in the south, and hopefully he'll do well in SC. I pray that people are finally waking up to Trump's character. Not particularly nice these days, which says a lot.
Pray for righteousness to be restored and for the peace of Jerusalem
GPH has linked a story from Forbes that Cruz supporters told folks that Carson was dropping out.
Me thinks Carson camp should take it's anger out on FOX news who sent me an election alert that Carson was suspending campaign activities.

I thought I had seen it all until today. However, in TPTB's relentless pursuit of preventing the inevitable economic collapse, they have gone ALL OUT to lie to – and steal from – the American public.
Just after the COMEX open, with gold and silver having recouped essentially all of the said losses – the final 2Q GDP estimate came in well below expectations; and would have been still lower if the BEA hadn't comically reduced the quarterly inflation "deflator" from 0.7% to 0.6%. However, not to be outdone by such miserable data, the BLS published "better than expected" jobless claims – that make not the slightest bit of sense.
For the past two weeks, we have been told that low jobless claims readings were published because California and Nevada were updating their computer systems – and thus, hadn't submitted data. And now we're told those low readings were not reversed at all despite California and Nevada reporting in. And thus, despite the fact that continuing claims surged, jobless claims supposedly plunged. Huh? And this, just two weeks after a MISERABLE July/August NFP employment report. Frankly, I doubt we were told the whole story; but then again, are we EVER?
Of course, gold and silver were immediately attacked; according to the MSM, "due to" the jobless claims data (please ignore the U.S. GDP and European loan data). They then recovered essentially all their losses again – and briefly went positive after the "pending home sales index" unexpectedly plunged nearly 2%. Clearly, rising interest rates are killing the supposed housing "recovery"; and thus, such a reading only solidifies the case for no QE "tapering." FYI, neither stocks nor bonds even budged on the data; just PMs, which somehow find a way to "react" violently to any and all government data, no matter how useless it has become.
Remember, such PAPER games – in the stock, bond, currency, commodity, and metal markets – are just noise in the race to the END GAME that nears its conclusion. Only those that have properly protected themselves will "live to fight another day"; and if you don't own REAL MONEY, protecting yourself from accelerating – and likely hyper– inflation will be IMPOSSIBLE.


YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK – If you've hiked in the Northern Rockies above 9,000 feet, you've hiked among a whitebark pine forest.
And if you've hiked in the Rockies since 2009, you've likely hiked through a dead and dying forest, felled by a widespread outbreak of the mountain pine beetle.
At a scientific conference Tuesday at Mammoth Hot Springs, near Yellowstone's northern boundary, biologists cited climate change as a major driver. From the 1980s to today, temperatures have only gone one direction: Up.
The death is a major concern for conservationists, biologists and public land managers, for the whitebark pine supports the entire ecosystem. Bears, jays and other forest creatures depend heavily on pine seeds for their diet.
Without the seeds, biologists fear what's called a "trophic cascade," where the entire food chain shifts as a primary producer drops out.
"The whitebark pine is both a foundation and a keystone species," said Jesse Logan, a retired U.S. Forest Service entomologist. "The health of the whitebark pine is very closely related to the health of the entire ecosystem."
The greater Yellowstone ecosystem, an area the size of South Carolina sprawling for 31,000 square miles across Montana, Wyoming and Idaho, has been hit particularly hard by beetle outbreak.
Since 2009, more than 95 percent of the large trees in the region have succumbed to pine beetles.
"We view this as the stage-setting event that has allowed more beetle events," said David Thoma, a National Park Service ecologist studying factors behind the beetle outbreak. "Temperature is the primary driver."
Warmer temperatures allow the beetles to overwinter. Until the late 1990s, winter temperatures in the high country were inhospitable. Thirty years' of warming has left whitebark pines exposed to a threat they rarely saw.
Not all news is bad, however.
Some trees have proved resistant to outbreaks. Others grow in pockets, or "climate refuges," that for various reasons have protected trees from the beetles. Thoma sees such areas – also known as "microrefugia" – as essential for any management efforts going forward.
"The concept of microrefugia is reason for hope," Thoma said. "This is particularly important for managing the landscape in the new beetle norm."
And the prehistoric, or "paleo," record offers some clues that the tree is hardier than researchers suspect. Charcoal and ancient pollen records suggest the niche space needed by whitebark pine is much larger than models estimate.
Assessing lake sediment cores from the region reaching 15,000 years into the past, a Montana State University team found whitebark pines more abundant despite higher summer temperatures and fire frequency than today.
"In the warmest periods, the whitebark pine was really pretty happy," said Cathy Whitlock, MSU director of the Montana Institute on Ecosystems who led the research team.
"The paleo perspective gives you really good insight," she added. "We look a lot at the present ..., but it doesn't give you perspective to look at climate change."
Logan isn't so confident. An entirely new temperature regime could impair the species' ability to return as it has after past beetle outbreaks. "It's hard to image that these forests are going to recover in any sort of a meaningful time frame," he said.
It won't be for lack of trying: U.S. Forest Service researchers are breeding trees resistant to drought and blister rust, another affliction destroying stands. The agency planted almost 350 acres of rust-resistant whitebark pine in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem this year, part of an ongoing 15-year effort to help the species, said Mary Frances Mahalovich, a Forest Service geneticist.
But two-thirds of the whitebark pine forest in the Yellowstone region grows on land protected by either wilderness status or a national park boundary – regions where intensive management is often anathema.
"If we're going to do some management, we need to do some thinking about what wilderness means," Logan said.
And in the end, with temperatures projected to rise beyond even worst-case scenarios, microrefugia and beetle resistance might prove temporary.
Polly Buotte, a graduate student at the University of Idaho, has modeled beetle outbreaks, whitebark pine mortality and projected temperatures. The warming signal, she said, is "pretty clear."
"We as a society need to reduce emissions or these refugia are just going to become hospices for whitebark pine," she said.

A bunch of teens from Colorado made tall plans of looting a weed dispensary, but luck had something else in store for them!
They crashed a stolen minivan through the glass front entrance of a marijuana dispensary, stole some containers from inside and managed to escape. Little did they know the containers were full on OREGANO and not weed! They didn't get a single leaf.
Denver Post reports that the thieves actually just managed to run away with a lot of oregano, since all the marijuana was kept safely locked away.
The incident quite obviously left Twitter ROFL!
It's called "The Placebo Effect"
Idiots. But they do need to be caught and pay for the damage, then off to jail.
"We have pre-rolled joints on display in our display cases. We do not put actual medicated product in them, so we use oregano to simulate the cannabis," Native Roots' spokeswoman Kim Casey told KKTV.
The burglars during their run, just managed to steal some oregano and a few T-shirts. The van which they used to break in was left inside the dispensary, and they used another car to escape the scene.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry expecting first baby
The Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle is pregnant with her first child, Kensington Palace has announced.
Kensington Palace said the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are "very pleased" Meghan is expecting a baby in the spring of 2019.
"Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019," the palace said in a statement.
"Their Royal Highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public."
Doria Ragland, the duchess's mother, said she was "very happy about this lovely news" and "looks forward to welcoming her first grandchild".
The news emerged after the duchess and Prince Harry arrived at Sydney airport for a rest day before they officially start a 16-day tour of Australia and the South Pacific.
The trip is their only international tour since they were married in May, apart from a two-day visit to Ireland.
Holding hands and casually dressed, the prince and the former American actress walked out an airport rear entrance and into a car. Meghan was smiling and clutching folders, while Harry gave a thumbs up to bystanders.
The announcement comes after days of speculation about whether Meghan was pregnant after the pair celebrated five months of marriage.
The news surfaced after Markle's tour schedule indicated she would not be doing a climb over the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Meghan is understood to be past the 12-week mark.
The duchess once described motherhood as being on her "bucket list" and her husband has frequently discussed his wish to have children.
Theresa May congratulated the couple on their "happy news" and wished them "all the best".
"My warmest congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on the happy news they are expecting a baby in the spring. Wishing them all the best." she said.

The work of Bertrand Lamarche experiments with the convergent and simultaneous sensation of two experience, confronting the human body with his physical scale and with a certain culture of roaming arround the city. In this Sense, the piece Tunnel, which was first presented at the Bretigny sur Orges ART CENTRE, and Then at ARCO 99, by the sous sol Gallery, is certainly exemplary.
Says Nicolas Chardon, of the Sous sol gallery: «there are three cables streched out parallel to eye level from one side of the exhibition room to the other. The central cable suspend a series of rails, on each one of which there are two spinning orange lights, while over the other two cables there is a long, flexible ventilation tube. The spinnng light are intercepted by the plastic walls of the tubes, suspended at the same level. like an echo of these lights , one can see, looking inside the tubes from each end, some orange rings, which, depending on the direction of the lights, go forward or backwards, always following the structure of the duct.

In Ushuaia, the capital of Tierra del Fuego Province, the Embassy of the Republic of Serbia in Buenos Aires, in cooperation with Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade and Telefónica Foundation, organized an exhibition entitled "Nikola Tesla, the Inventor of the 21st Century".
This exhibition was special because it was staged on the southernmost populated point of Argentina, at the "House of Culture", under the auspices of the Government of the Tierra del Fuego Province and the Ministry of Education.
This is the fourth edition of the exhibition following three big exhibitions organized in Buenos Aires, Córdoba and Tucumán, in the course of the last two years.
The exhibition illustrates Tesla's life, from his birth to his death, and offers a journey through time and space Tesla lived in, marking his most significant inventions and his contribution to science. The exhibition uses modern technology, attractive to visitors.
This exhibition, just like the previous ones, is accompanied by various parallel activities: lectures, workshops, seminars… Therefore, on this occasion as well, workshops will be organized for educational institutions, researchers and other interested parties, under the heading "Awakening ideas – awakening the future", aimed primarily at the youth.
These exhibitions and all the parallel activities have helped make a huge step forward in introducing the persona and work of Nikola Tesla to this part of the world, him being undoubtedly recognized and accepted as our greatest inventor and scientist.

Whether you live in the Quad City area or are just visiting, there are many Rock Island transportation options for shopping, entertainment, work transportation, or getting together with friends. As heavy traffic is seldom a problem even during peak travel times, most people in the area use their vehicles to get around. There are many scenic thoroughfares along the river in Rock Island for driving, biking, and hiking. Early October is a fantastic time for sightseeing, as the leaves begin their glorious turn. Winter is also a fine time to travel these routes for drivers and intrepid cyclists as bald eagles visit the area to fish near the locks and dams.
Getting across the Mississippi River to Iowa destinations is fairly easy as there are three different bridges located in Rock Island. Each offers a unique perspective for viewing the river. During the colder months, the approach to the Government Bridge is often the best place to see and photograph bald eagles. The most direct route to Davenport, Iowa, from Rock Island is the Centennial Bridge which arches above the river and provides excellent sightlines in all directions. The I-280 Bridge in southwestern Rock Island is very close to the confluence of the Rock and Mississippi Rivers and loops around Davenport on the Iowa side for easy access to Interstate 80.
Whether you want to drive, ride, bike, fly, or hike in the Rock Island area, there are plenty of Rock Island transportation options to choose from which make getting around easy and affordable. Most routes offer great views of the river and the surrounding area and give residents and visitors alike a unique perspective of the Quad City metropolitan area.

LINDSAY AND SAM GO TO WAR
By PageSix.com Staff
January 3, 2009 | 6:08am
THE thaw in the relationship between Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson sure didn't last long, with the girlfriends ringing in the new year with a nasty fistfight.
Trouble started Tuesday night as the two partied at Set in Miami. "Both their families were there, and Lindsay and Sam just started going at it," our spy said.
Then, on New Year's Eve, the couple went nuclear and started screaming at each other while hosting a party at Mansion. The fight spilled out into an alley behind the club, where Lohan screeched at Ronson, "When I storm off, you are supposed to follow me!"
Our spy said, "It was a really gross alley. There was a bum eating a sandwich watching the whole thing. Lindsay was really unstable and flipping out."
After Lohan and Ronson went back to the hotel, several sources heard crashing sounds and screaming coming from their room until the fight spilled out into the hallways at about 11 a.m.
"They were punching each other – it was bad," a spy said. "And they were doing this in front of all of us. It was scary."
At one point, Lohan dropped to her knees and cried, "Why are you doing this to me?" And Sam just said, "I don't know you."
Eventually hotel security was called and photos were taken of the girls' "trashed" room. "Mirrors were broken and it was a complete mess," another spy said.
Several hours later, still fighting, Lohan and Ronson tried to board an American Airlines flight back to Los Angeles. Lohan was said to be such a mess before takeoff that flight attendants asked her if she'd like to disembark. She refused.
A rep for Lohan said, "There was an argument – I don't know the details – but they left for LA together and it's fine."

Q: Error:Can't assign to function call Python/PyQt I am trying to assign the text input (Username and password) to a new variable (IPassword and IUsername) to be used in other def's. I cant get it to work, When running the code i get the following error 'Error: Can't assign to function call'. The code is below:
class LoginWidget(QtGui.QWidget):
    success = QtCore.pyqtSignal()
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(LoginWidget, self).__init__(parent)

        self.Password.text() = IPassword
        self.Username.text() = IUsername
        self.buttonLogin = QtGui.QPushButton('Login', self)
        self.buttonLogin.clicked.connect(self.handleLogin)
    def handleLogin(self):
        global IPassword
        global IUsername

A: You can't assign values to function calls. So, you can't do that:
self.Password.text() = IPassword
self.Username.text() = IUsername

The correct way to do it, is:
self.Password.setText(IPassword)
self.Username.setText(IUsername)

I hope it helps.

The NICU is a special unit created for newborns who need specialized treatment. When a baby is born with medical problems, or if complications arise during delivery, the baby is immediately passed from the Labor and Delivery room to the adjacent NICU.
Our NICU has been precisely designed to promote your baby's growth and development through the use of subdued lighting, noise control and the provision of maximum rest. We are able to care for babies born at 32 weeks gestation and older.
Neonatologists and nurse practitioners are readily available around-the-clock to provide personal care and monitoring for babies who require constant medical attention. Our medical professionals cover the Alaska Regional NICU and other area hospitals, maintaining a high standard of care for babies throughout the region.

Das Vaughan Inlet ist eine 15 km lange und 12 km breite Bucht an der Oskar-II.-Küste des Grahamlands auf der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Sie liegt zwischen dem Whiteside Hill und dem Shiver Point.

Luftaufnahmen entstanden am 20. Dezember 1928 beim Flug des australischen Polarforschers Hubert Wilkins über dieses Gebiet. Wilkins benannte die von ihm entdeckte vereiste Wasserfläche als Hektoria Fjords nach dem Walfangschiff Hektoria, das für den Transport seiner Expedition nach Deception Island im Einsatz war. Die heutige offene Bucht entstand durch den Rückzug des Hektoria-, des Green- und des Evans-Gletschers sowie durch das Auseinanderbrechen des Larsen-Schelfeises in dieser Region im März 2002. Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte die Bucht 2008 nach dem Glaziologen David G. Vaughan (* 1962) von der Swansea University, der von 1986 bis 2008 als leitender Wissenschaftler beim British Antarctic Survey tätig war und sich federführend mit Untersuchungen zum Einfluss des Klimawandels auf den antarktischen Eisschild befasst hatte.

For more than a century, Turner & Stevens Live Oak Mortuary and Live Oak Memorial Park have built a solid tradition of service. Our professional, experienced and dedicated staffs have provided exceptional and compassionate care to families at a difficult time in their lives.
100 years in the San Gabriel Valley
Turner & Stevens Live Oak Mortuary has more than 100 years of experience catering to the funeral and cremation needs of Monrovia, Duarte, Arcadia, El Monte, Azusa, Temple City and the San Gabriel Valley.
Turner & Stevens Live Oak Mortuary and Live Oak Memorial Park are also members of the Dignity Memorial® network—the largest network of funeral, cremation and cemetery providers in North America. Being a member of this network, Live Oak has the ability to provide additional resources and packages to fit virtually any family's budget.
Ease of both funeral home and cemetery
We are a combination of a funeral home and cemetery on a single property. This allows families to make every plan and arrangement at a central location with our funeral home and cemetery teams. Working together, these two teams are experienced at helping families make every decision from start to finish.
The cemetery offers a variety of final resting options to suit your needs: traditional ground burial, mausoleums, a columbarium and cremation niches. We are also among the few parks in the San Gabriel Valley that offers upright monuments.
Our chapel and multicultural services
The chapel at Live Oak opened in 1965 and seats 125 people. There's an archway in the back as well as other design elements for an aesthetically pleasing and calm feel.
Situated toward the middle of the memorial park, the chapel is a non-denominational space that can be used for funeral services of any faith or culture. Our staff speaks both English and Spanish. If your family speaks another language, we can bring in a translator for clear, easy communication.
For more intimate gatherings, there's also what's known as a slumber room, which can be used for smaller services or viewings.
Catering and comfort
You can host a reception at Turner & Stevens Live Oak Mortuary for friends and family to gather and comfort one another after the funeral ceremony. Our catering room fits 25 to 30 people with round tables and chairs. You are welcome to bring in your own food or work with one of our favorite caterers. We want you to choose whatever is right for you to relax and talk with your loved ones.
Personalized funeral services
Though Turner & Stevens Live Oak Mortuary is very experienced with traditional funerals, we also love helping someone customize a funeral or memorial service. There are many wonderful options when you start looking into what's possible.
For example, we held a ceremony for a basketball referee and arranged for everyone to dress up in black and white referee uniforms. We conducted a funeral for a Star Wars fan, complete with light sabers and Darth Vader decorations. If you're interested in finding ways to personalize a funeral, simply let our staff know and we'll help with everything.
On-site crematory
For those who want a cremation, we have an on-site crematorium. Due to cultural beliefs or personal preference, a family may want a cremation viewing, sometimes also known as a witness cremation. We're able to accommodate whatever you desire around cremation, and we'll also help find the right combination of memorial services for your loved one.
Live Oak Memorial Park cemetery
Live Oak Memorial Park is a Monrovia cemetery that's served the burial needs of San Gabriel Valley residents since 1887. Often described as calm and serene by our guests, the cemetery is located near the Sierra Madre Mountains.
Our 55 acres were originally orange groves before the property was turned into a cemetery by pioneers. To this day, our memorial park has a beautiful mix of trees and plants, including, of course, live oaks.
The cemetery grounds themselves are very flat, which is an important consideration for our elderly guests who wish to easily navigate the grounds. As a result of all the trees, much of our property is shaded.
Live Oak Memorial Park offers a diverse selection of burial options, including traditional ground sites, mausoleums and private family estates. For those who choose cremation, we offer columbaria, cremation niches, boulder memorials and cremation gardens. We are one of the few parks in the San Gabriel Valley that allows upright monuments.
Gardens and landmarks
Our cemetery is divided into different garden sections. A different landmark statue symbolizes the theme of each garden.
In the Masonic Garden, for example, there is a statue of a masonic altar. The Jardin del Angel has a statue of an angel. The Columbarium of Eternity honors Buddhist culture while the Garden of Tranquility is one of our cremation gardens.
Other gardens include Sunshine Garden, Mausoleum of San Gabriel, Upright Historical Garden, Oak Leaf Garden, Evensong Garden, Lady of Angels, Garden of Harmony, Garden of Victory and the Tree of Life Garden.
If you're interested in a tour of the cemetery property, simply reach out to our staff and we'll be happy to show you around.
Live Oak Memorial Park has been a Monrovia cemetery and integral part of the San Gabriel Valley for more than 100 years. Our cemetery was established in 1887 as a pioneer cemetery. Originally, our focus was on people who had come west to make a new life in California and needed a place to bury their loved ones.
San Gabriel Valley funeral home and chapel
Our mortuary was established in 1962 by Mr. Turner and Mr. Stevens. For more than 50 years, this funeral home has been dedicated to providing the people of Monrovia, Duarte, Arcadia, El Monte, Azusa, Temple City and the San Gabriel Valley with funeral and memorialization services.
The chapel was built a bit later, with the grand opening in 1965. We're always looking for ways to improve our facilities. In 2013, we remodeled the chapel for additional privacy. We reupholstered the pews, repainted the chapel and retiled the floor for an updated feel.
We renovated the funeral home in 2017, creating more space in the lobby, refreshing the paint, and updating restrooms and furniture. In 2017, the cemetery opened a new mausoleum—the first added in 20 years.
We love being a part of the San Gabriel Valley community. Though families come to us in times of need, we also invite our neighbors to Turner & Stevens Live Oak Mortuary and Live Oak Memorial Park throughout the year to celebrate various holidays.
On Mother's Day, we pass out roses to those who visit their mothers' graves.
Each Memorial Day, we hold an event to honor the men and women of the military. We have an airplane flyover and put on the event in coordination with the Allied Veterans of San Gabriel. People who attend enjoy hot dogs and drinks while we celebrate our veterans.
On November 2, we host a Day of the Dead event with a full mass, mariachi singers and Aztec dancers.
Thank you for considering Turner & Stevens Live Oak Mortuary and Live Oak Memorial Park in Monrovia for your funeral service needs. Please contact us if you require immediate assistance, wish to tour our funeral home or would like more information about our services. Our office is open daily, 8am-5pm, but we are available to serve you day or night at 626-359-5311. Visiting hours for the memorial park is daily from 8am-6pm.

Critics have said the band's songs bring "an immediacy not often heard in the genre,"[5] and Exclaim! wrote that the band infuses "contagious synth melodies with fuzzed-out guitars and frenetic rhythms, to near perfection."[6] Kate Harper from CHARTattack.com wrote, "I'd long ago written post-rock off as a tired, boring, stale, repetitive genre that lacked creativity. But Old World Vulture's self-titled release holds the kind of promise that's just unique enough to make me reconsider that."[7]

Saint Max and the Fanatics // New Year, New Troop!
An adolescence spent in the depths of the South West Scottish countryside has left this particular prophet with countless songbooks bulging with wry observation, uncommon passion and pop melodies which refuse to be shaken off. The sound is undeniably contemporary, with sprinklings of artful nostalgia.
2012 saw this wandering poet's dramatic entrance to the scene - and to the ears of Armellodie - with the release of his debut EP Saint Max and the Fanatics, recorded at Glasgow's all-analogue Green Door Studio.
Harking back to luminaries as varied as Bowie, Madness and Morrissey, Saint Max's sound is born to an eclectic family of influences. It is bound together, however, by a razor sharp delivery which simply cannot be ignored. We're awfa chuffed to have him onboard and look forward to his debut album later in the year.


The Riverside Little League Minor boys won their second consecutive fall ball championship. The Riverside team dominated the fall ball tournament with a 3-1 championship victory over Seekonk on October 28th at Kim Rock Field in Rumford. The team went undefeated with a 12-0 record.
"This is a very young and gutsy group," said Riverside manager Vin Enright. "I am very proud of these boys. Over the past two years of fall ball play, they have compiled a 25-1 record with two titles," added Enright. In many instances the Riverside team outdistance their opponents early and played "great defense, had timely hitting and superb pitching."
Manager Vin Enright was assisted by coaches Jody Richards, Mike Charbonneau, Mike Sabourin and Vinny Enright Jr.
Alex Enright, Chris Charbonneau, Jose Figueroe, Jonathan Renaud, Jacob Tokarz, Drew Tokarz, Kevin Levesque, Bryce Levesque, Owen Richards, John Wooten and Drake Silva.

What Went Down: Maliq & D'Essentials @ KL Live
Image Splendid Entertainment
KL Live has seen its fair share of acts this year and one that we didn't regret missing out was Maliq & D'essentials when they showed up in town last Friday. The opening acts were Ahmad Ahmad, providing an acoustic warm-up before Tilu the band came on stage to belt out jazz-infused ballads, with a saxophone and flugelhorn as part of the charm.
The well-mannered crowd kept their edginess within whilst waiting for the headlining act. Surely a jazz outfit that opened for Jamiroquai can't let us down! Kicking off the night with 'Blow My Mind', indeed it was the beginning to a wonderful night alongside the diehard fans who could sing along to every song they played. Quite possibly the only blip of the night was that Indah, the female vocalist did not travel to KL for the show as she is pregnant. 2 back up vocalists replaced her temporarily together with a percussionist and trumpet player as part of the line-up.
A quick collaboration with a rapper for two tracks was also a surprise to many, but it certainly gave Angga a chance to catch his breath throughout the 75 minute set. There's a certain power this jazz outfit had over their devotees, given the wistful and melancholic melodies that has earmarked Maliq & D'essentials. Enraptured with the solid performance (which included tracks from their 3 studio albums and EP), aching feet and stiff necks were happily ignored.
There were also a few solid hearts broken that night (one of them belonged to this writer) as Angga had many swooning fans eating out of his hands. Highly entertaining with choreographed dance moves and angelic vocals, the truth was spoken, not with words, but with the appreciative crowd that fully occupied KL Live. It was a Friday night well spent, with Maliq & D'essentials clearly leaving us with wanting for more.
Click here for photos of the event. Maliq & D'Essentials Live in KL gave us a good night when they performed @ KL Live on 16 December.

Bubblemania is Coming to a Sector Near You…
Aug 14, 2020 | by Peter DeCaprio and Charles Trafton
Market participants have bemoaned stocks as levitating in a "bubble" for three years, though we're now seeing evidence of an equity mania in selected areas
Alarming parallels to the 1998-2000 timeframe, especially in the electric vehicle space, which is approaching a mania
Recent SPAC issuances are symptomatic
Over-issuance of new equity will likely cause the market to collapse under its own weight (a la 2000) and we're on watch for performance of the most recent equity issuances as canaries in the coalmine
A very popular subject these days is the "bubble" in US equities. The world we inhabit on social media is filled with anguished wails from skeptics who hate the Fed's easy money policies for destroying price discovery and distorting markets. We used to – emphasis on used to – downplay that chatter. But, we are now seeing many alarming parallels to the 1998-2000 timeframe, especially in the electric vehicle space, which is approaching a mania wholly unsupported by fundamentals.
We have written before about the differences between today and the '99-'01 bubble. Then, the IPO frenzy was in full force. In 1999, 550 IPO's were priced and the average first day gain was 70%. Bankers in 1999 would look at a hot IPO and then quickly file to bring public a close copycat. It was a supply and demand imbalance. Then, there were 12,000 mutual funds and only 6,000 public stocks. Do the math. Part of the unwind in 2001 began with high yield closing under the weight of oversupply, which then filtered into the equity markets. Back then, when the capital dried up, business plans collapsed. Here are three charts that show the number of US public companies outstanding, global IPO share issuance since 1999, and the number of ETF's in the US today. The number of public companies correlates to total shares outstanding. Now do the math. Is it any wonder markets get frothy? But there's frothy, and then there's the EV space, which will get to in a moment.
Today, the frenzied IPO market of yore is being replaced by the SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company). The SPAC used to be among the more arcane and sketchiest part of the public equity markets but now with the success of Nikola Motors (NKLA) among others, SPAC's have taken on a new gloss. Why companies reverse merge into a public SPAC instead of going the normal IPO route is something we still don't fully comprehend, so you are not alone if you are scratching your head about it.
But the story today is less about SPAC's – they are merely a symptom – and more about the re-emergence of bubbles.
The electric vehicle space has gone crazy. Never in the history of markets has such a "disruptive" technology disrupted so little. Adoption rates of EV's remain pathetically small in spite of what you read, and the only reason these pathetically small adoption rates are where they are is because of massive government support via subsidies available to EV buyers in almost every country across the globe. Tesla has received much praise for "turning the corner" on profitability, but the only reason why it has been profitable is because it sells its accumulated surplus of carbon credits to other automakers in danger of tripping state mandated fleet CO2 emissions levels. Yes, the scheme the gov't has in place, forcing us to buy cars we don't want, is solely responsible for Tesla's profit. Absent credit sales, Tesla's business – a pure-play EV company if there ever was one – is massively unprofitable.
And here is how this bubble looks like 1999. Tesla has returned 600% to investors over the past year in spite of a dramatic drop off in demand from many of its key markets. NIO, a Chinese EV-company that has been flirting with bankruptcy for what seems like years, is up more than 320% in the past year. Workhorse (WKHS), an electric delivery van and drone manufacturer with almost no revenues, is up 800% since March of this year. Arcimoto, a $200mm market cap manufacturer of two-seat and three-wheeled EV's with $1.0 million in reported revenue last year, is up 120% in the last year.
No one has sprinkled fairy dust on this space. It's crowded with competition and getting more crowded by the day. The underlying businesses can often only survive with government assistance. No one has truly been able to prove this is a sustainable business model with better economics than traditional auto manufacturers (which are bad on their own), so what gives?
A retail frenzy just like 1999. Tesla's shareholder base is notoriously sketchy. Arcimoto's shareholder list is what you would expect to find in a dodgy micro-cap. Workhorse's is a collection of Who? and not Who's-Who. I know you've read article after article about how much asset flows are now dominated passive investment vehicles and no doubt the shift to passive investing is having an impact on price discovery. But, the average Joe day trader still exists. We recently did a Twitter thread on how much retail can still influence markets, and the retail orgy is in full swing. It seems silly to contemplate, but with COVID keeping people home and no sports or online gambling to occupy attention, that urge has been reflected in a massive increase in retail trading. Robinhood, the retail trading app that sells your data to flash traders, doubled its trading volume in 2Q 2020 over 1Q 2020 to $180 billion. It's not just the U.S., though, it's a global phenomenon, which ups the ante should the party end. No one knows how much or how deep is the retail trading from Asia in our markets, but it is significant. Right now, retail has focused its attention on EV's.
There is zero fundamental support for EV valuations up here. We would remind everyone that FSLR's revenue doubled between 2009 and 2015 and its stock did this.
Why? Because future revenue growth was the fear. As it should be with EV's today. There are no fewer than 20 new EV models expected over the next two years just for the EU market, which is friendly to EV's. Double that for China. This market will cannibalize itself. Those selling electric vehicles into the EU will sell at a loss because the regulatory credits earned by having more EV's on the road outweigh the penalties for not producing. And we all know what happens when companies are incentivized to produce no matter the profit potential. Bored, locked down retail investors are playing a giant game of musical chairs right now, especially in the EV space. Just like it did between 1999-2001 with internet stocks.
