A Carnaval of Resistance
Clare Richardson,
Politics Features
Some of the most vital and vulnerable participants in Rio's most famous party are fighting back against Brazil's new government.
In Rio, locals joke that Carnaval starts one day earlier every year. On a weekend in mid-January, a full month before the five-day event's official kick-off on Feb. 24, hundreds of people wearing costumes and shimmery face-paint crammed into Flamengo Park to see performances by samba street bands known as blocos ("blocks"), the key element of Brazil's famed party. The musicians drummed and danced the crowd into a frenzy late into the night in a scene that would repeat itself every weekend for more than a month.
Carnaval is a festival of life and libido before things supposedly get serious during Lent. However, this year's joyous festivities are taking place against a dark backdrop. In 2016, Brazil ushered in a new, conservative government led by President Michel Temer in the wake of an economic recession and a political crisis caused by the largest corruption scandal in the country's history. Now many revelers are afraid the new boys in Brasília will strip away the rights of women and LGBTQI people, two groups which are strongly associated with Carnaval. The parties and parades have long been seen as a highly visible celebration of queer and female identities, as well as a political demonstration in support of their rights.
Carnaval is famously shameless. Swaying crowds intoxicated by music and booze take advantage of the yearly open market for public and sometimes indiscriminate kissing and touching. In a country with one of the world's highest levels of income inequality, people from all social strata are temporarily united by the common desire to party hard. During Carnaval, the playing field is leveled for a short time. International bankers and favela residents, gay and straight people, as well as international tourists and the maids who clean their hotel rooms all converge. Their sweaty bodies press together in crowded streets coated in an egalitarian layer of urine and spilled beer.
Rio's Sambadrome has been packed every Sunday for the past several weeks with hundreds of spectators coming to watch rehearsals for Carnaval. Each samba school has its own following of avid fans, and Brazilians pledge allegiance to different groups in the same way they support football clubs. For these practice runs, performers wear toned-down versions of their full costumes. But the crowd still gets to see spectacular colors and the blur of stilettos worn by buxom bombshells leading packs of drummers and dancers in incredible displays of athleticism.

Yet strip away the feathers and sequins, and the darker side of Brazil's machismo culture lies not far beneath. The country has one of the highest rates of hate crimes against LGBTQI people in the world, and anti-gay violence is on the rise. The Grupo Gay da Bahia (Gay Group of Bahia), a rights group that tracks hate crimes in Brazil, reported that 2016 was the deadliest year on record since 1970, with 343 LGBT people killed across the country, or one person every 25 hours. Brazil also has one of the world's highest rates of female homicides. On average, thirteen women were murdered every day of 2013.
Some fear that Temer's policies and his government's sexist rhetoric will only make things worse.
One of Temer's early moves in office was to demote the ministry of women, racial equality, and human rights by bringing it under the general purview of the larger justice department. He also announced an all-male Cabinet, the country's first in decades.
And the downfall of former President Dilma Rousseff was marred by sexist attacks by those in government; during her impeachment last August for manipulating the federal budget, the overwhelmingly male senators ridiculed Rousseff for lacking enough "emotional control" for the office. Many of Rouseff's supporters saw her removal as an illegal power grab. Across the city, the word golpe—coup—is scrawled on the sides of buildings and windows.
As a result, this year, several Carnaval blocos will parade through the streets of Rio with t-shirts and drums festooned with "Forá Temer," or, "Out with Temer!" While for most attendants, Carnaval is first and foremost a party, it also serves as one of Brazil's most important demonstrations of the year, both due to the international audience and the sheer number of people who join together under common banners. These days, there's a bloco focused on just about every issue.
"Carnaval is a very political thing that involves occupying space in a city," says Renata Rodrigues, the founder of the women's rights bloco Mulheres Rodadas ("Women Who Get Around"). "Being out on the streets is a statement."
Many fear their hard-won rights are on the chopping block
The new government's policies stand in stark contrast to the more commonly exported image of Rio de Janeiro. The city is considered a gay destination and hosts some of the biggest gay festivals in the world. One of its major marketing campaigns for Carnaval targets LGBTQI visitors and the big bucks they'll drop relative to their straight peers. More than a quarter of visitors for Carnaval each year identify as LGBTQI.
The city of Rio has made strides toward entrenching tolerance during Carnaval. The municipal government created a special coordinator for sexual diversity in 2011, which has run a public campaign for the past few years called "Carnaval without Prejudice." LGBTQI rights activists also made big gains generally in the past decade, including a supreme court decision backing same-sex adoption in 2010 and the nationwide recognition of gay marriage in 2013.
Many fear those hard-won rights are on the chopping block following the demise of Brazil's left after more than a decade in power. Brazil's Workers' Party has fallen from grace amid a three-year-long economic recession as well as Operation Lava Jato ("Car Wash"), a massive corruption investigation involving the state-run oil company Petrobras.
For Rio's trans community, the rise of the right signals a major step backward in their fight for equality. Trans Visibility Day on Jan. 27 was part celebration, part demonstration outside Rio's city hall. The usual trimmings of Carnaval were on display, including a full brass band, colorful wigs, standard-bearers waving flags, and drink vendors standing on the periphery hawking Itaipava and Antarctica beers. At the top of the steps to the building, local trans activist Indianara Siqueira commanded an audience. The bleach-blonde led call-and-response chants of "Out with Temer" and outlined abuses against the trans community to the party below. Indianara is something of a local celebrity within the LGBQTI community; last year, she made an unsuccessful bid to get a seat inside the building behind her by running for Rio's city council.
Trans activist Indianara Siqueira rallies the crowd during a demonstration for Trans Awareness Day in front of Rio de Janeiro's Municipal Chamber.
Later that weekend, I went to meet Indianara at the safe-house for trans people she helps run, Casa Nem. It was early afternoon on a Sunday, and oppressive heat beat down on the narrow strip of cobblestone road in the city center. The area was creepily quiet without the business district's weekday traffic.
As I approached the entrance, a topless trans woman flung open the front door and sloshed a bucket of water down the steps, sending a torrent of pink glitter splashing onto the street below. It occurred to me that perhaps I'd been optimistic in my choice of time and day to schedule an interview.
Sure enough, the woman I'd come to see had gone to bed not long before I arrived, and none of the dozen ladies sprawled over couches were forthcoming with offers to wake her up. Instead, I took a seat on the floor next to a desk fan and spoke to 39-year-old Daniely Bitencourt. She was clearly a fan of Carnaval, but also had first-hand experience with how the fun can quickly turn into something more sinister.
"Every woman here has been harassed during Carnaval," she said, gesturing around the room.
Bitencourt spent a few years in Italy as a sex worker, and she thinks her former career has made her a target for sexual harassment during Carnaval.
"I used to be a prostitute and people still see me in that way. I hate it."
Yet the safety threats aren't enough to keep Bitencourt and her friends away.
"It's dangerous, but we all like samba," she said. "It's the best party of the year."
During Carnaval, harassment intensifies
A few days later, I sent Indianara some questions. She told me Carnaval serves as a catalyst for pre-existing racist and sexist attitudes.
"Harassment doesn't only exist during Carnaval, but in all sectors of our society. During Carnaval, it intensifies. For people who are part of the LGBTIQ population, their lives are risk. And it's definitely even worse for black women," Indianara said.
The numbers support her concerns. In Brazil, reported murders of black women are on the rise while the rate has decreased for white women. Danny Santos, a 29-year-old transgender woman, is also worried about what the new government will mean for safety.
"I think Temer is shit," she said. "Things are already really hard for the LGBTQI community and now it'll get even harder to win our rights."
But it's not the federal government's policies that are keeping Santos up at night.
"I'm worried about [Marcelo] Crivella," she said, referring to Rio's new mayor.
Marcelo Crivella is an evangelical bishop who once called homosexual people victims of a "terrible evil." He's the nephew of the founder of one of Brazil's most powerful churches, the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, although he has tried to distance himself from the organization since taking office. While Brazil is still the largest Catholic country in the world, Evangelical Christians are strongly on the rise, and many see Crivella's victory as evidence of a wider resurgence of the religious right.
As an American in Rio, it all sounded a bit familiar. In Brazil, I caught an occasional whiff of schadenfreude that the gringos finally had their own corrupt madman in the highest seat of government. In Rio—as in most of the rest of the world these days—it's difficult to get into a taxi or slip past a doorman without being roped into a conversation about Donald Trump with an implicit demand for some sort of explanation on behalf of your countrymen. Yet once everyone's had a good jab at the U.S. president, it's Crivella and Temer whose names are on their lips.
I met 35-year-old Mariana Othon at a pre-party for Carnaval in Flamengo Park, where dozens of men and women of the Tambores de Olokun block were twirling in skirts to the beat of drums. The event was a poster-child for Rio's tolerance and diversity as people from across every spectrum of race and gender danced together.
Members of the Tambores de Olokun Carnaval Block perform at Parque do Flamengo in Rio de Janeiro.
Still, the idea of Brazil as an open and progressive country has always masked much deeper problems. Now even the gains of the past decade are at risk of crumbling.
Othon disagrees with Temer's policies, but is confident that Carnaval itself is a sacred cow that won't suffer from any of the setbacks for women's for LGBTQI rights.
"He's not so crazy as to stop something that strong," she said.
For minority groups in Brazil, the immediate future means resistance. Yet if some of their loudest voices can march miles through the city carrying heavy bass drums in the blazing sun, I have every reason to believe they will have the stamina to fight back.
But perhaps that's for another day. Othon points out that once the party starts, most people are likely to shelve their concerns for a while.
"Everyone forgets about politics during Carnaval," she said.

I come from a background of military service where open discussion of mental performance and emotions was difficult for me. I currently work in a stressful field and realized my performance was being degraded not due to my professional knowledge or physical abilities, but my stress levels and mental function overall. I sought assistance from Elizabeth not fully sure of what I needed. Over a number of sessions, I discovered my problem was an issue of perspective and poor mental habits instead of some abstract "defect" and also that these habits were much older than I originally thought. We were also able to work out a number of tangible solutions I could implement in everyday life and it has helped immensely. What I like most about Elizabeth is that she strikes an excellent balance of guiding the discussion and letting me arrive at insights on my own as well as offering feedback and resources. I have found her method to be very effective particularly since I like to figure things out for myself. I would strongly recommend her for anyone struggling with performance issues particularly when they stem from stress, anxiety, or confidence sources. I feel like I am much more effective in my job and as a person overall for having worked with Elizabeth.

Q: Is there a way to work around scope by using pointers? Take the following code
void save(){
    Classname object(aString, aInt);
    this->getVector().push_back(&object);
}

I'm trying to save to this class's vector a copy of object, but i know for a fact that this doesn't work because object is going to be deleted once i leave save(), so my question is how do i work around this? i would appreciate some code example because i'm migrating from java and might not understand some of this pointer wizardry.
edit:english
edit2:copy paste never works!

A: First, there's no need for this->, you can just say
getVector().push_back(...);

Second, since you used this->, I infer that save and getVector are two member functions of the same class; if all getVector does is give access to a vector that is also a member of the class (without any tricks like lazy instantiation), then you don't need it either, you can deal with the vector directly:
theVector.push_back(...)

Now to your question. You're right, object will pass out of scope-- if it is on the stack. But you can construct it dynamically, on the heap, and it will live until deleted:
void save(){
    Classname *ptr = new Classname(aString, aInt);
    theVector.push_back(ptr);
}

Now ptr will pass out of scope, but the copy of ptr that was added to the vector will not, and that pointer will still point to the object.
Since you want to use polymorphism, I suppose you want the vector to contain base-class pointers which can actually point to objects of derived classes. No problem:
void save(){
    Animal *ptr = new Aardvark(aString, aInt);
    theVector.push_back(ptr);   // <-- the vector is of type vector<Animal*>
}

Heat Illness and Death Among Workers — United States, 2012–2013
Sheila Arbury, MPH1, Brenda Jacklitsch, MS2, Opeyemi Farquah3, Michael Hodgson, MD4, Glenn Lamson, MS5, Heather Martin, MSPH3, Audrey Profitt, MPH6 (Author affiliations at end of text)
Exposure to heat and hot environments puts workers at risk for heat stress, which can result in heat illnesses and death. This report describes findings from a review of 2012‒2013 Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) federal enforcement cases (i.e., inspections) resulting in citations under paragraph 5(a)(1), the "general duty clause" of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. That clause requires that each employer "furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees" (1). Because OSHA has not issued a heat standard, it must use 5(a)(1) citations in cases of heat illness or death to enforce employers' obligations to provide a safe and healthy workplace. During the 2-year period reviewed, 20 cases of heat illness or death were cited for federal enforcement under paragraph 5(a)(1) among 18 private employers and two federal agencies. In 13 cases, a worker died from heat exposure, and in seven cases, two or more employees experienced symptoms of heat illness. Most of the affected employees worked outdoors, and all performed heavy or moderate work, as defined by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (2). Nine of the deaths occurred in the first 3 days of working on the job, four of them occurring on the worker's first day. Heat illness prevention programs at these workplaces were found to be incomplete or absent, and no provision was made for the acclimatization of new workers. Acclimatization is the result of beneficial physiologic adaptations (e.g., increased sweating efficiency and stabilization of circulation) that occur after gradually increased exposure to heat or a hot environment (3). Whenever a potential exists for workers to be exposed to heat or hot environments, employers should implement heat illness prevention programs (including acclimatization requirements) at their workplaces.
To understand the effectiveness of existing heat illness prevention campaigns and tools, OSHA convened the Heat Illness Workgroup* to conduct a systematic review of cases of occupational heat illness or death cited for federal enforcement under paragraph 5(a)(1) during 2012–2013. Cases were identified by OSHA's Directorate of Enforcement Programs. For all cases reviewed, the workgroup established a list of program elements it considered important based on published literature and members' professional experience (Table). These included information on local weather conditions, work processes and workload, employer heat illness prevention program elements, health outcomes, numbers of persons affected, and individual risk factors. When needed, OSHA Compliance Safety and Health Officers were consulted for case clarification.
During 2012‒2013, a total of 20 cases were cited for federal enforcement under paragraph 5(a)(1). Thirteen cases involved a worker death attributed to heat exposure, and seven involved two or more workers with symptoms of heat illness. Thirteen worksites were outdoors. In eight cases, workers performed heavy work, and in 12 cases they performed moderate work per American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists workload definitions (2). Seven cases occurred in indoor facilities with a local heat source, such as laundry equipment or combustion engines. The cases occurred in various workplaces, including two in solid waste collection, two in mail delivery, nine in outdoor worksites (e.g., ship repair, landscaping, roofing, and oil servicing), two in laundries, and five in indoor worksites with machinery or other heat sources. All heat illnesses and deaths occurred on days with a heat index in the range of 84.0°F–105.7°F (29.0°C–41.0°C), although those working in direct sunlight might have experienced a heat index that was up to 15.0°F (8.3°C) higher than reported (3).
Thirteen employers had not incorporated an approach to identifying heat illness risk (e.g., heat index), as described by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, into their heat illness prevention program (4). None of the employer heat illness prevention programs were complete. Twelve had no program at all, seven provided inadequate water management, and 13 failed to provide shaded rest areas. Only one of the employers used work-rest cycles (i.e., scheduled periods of rest between periods of work based on temperature, humidity, and the intensity of the work activity), and none had an acclimatization program (Table). Four of the 13 deaths occurred on the first day at work in a new job or after returning from time away from the job, three on the second day, and two on the third day; four deaths occurred among long-time employees. In the cases that involved heat illness but not a death, the number of days on the job did not appear to contribute to any of the heat-related incidents.
Heat-related deaths often occur in occupations in which workers are performing tasks in hot environments, causing them to build metabolic heat faster than their bodies can release heat and cool down. In North Carolina, during 2008–2010, work-related heat illnesses resulting in emergency department visits were more common than work-related emergency department visits with any other cause among persons aged 19–45 years (5). In Maricopa County, Arizona, during 2002–2009, outdoor work in construction and agriculture accounted for 35% of heat-related deaths in men (6). A total of 68 crop production worker deaths were reported in the United States during 1992–2006, resulting in an annual average death rate of 0.39 deaths per 100,000 crop workers (7). Particularly in agriculture, estimates of heat illness cases are likely to be undercounts because some surveys exclude workers on small farms (8).
Although OSHA's Heat Illness Prevention Campaign's core message "Water. Rest. Shade." has been widely disseminated and reflects many similar public health messages (9), this review shows that some employers have not developed complete heat illness prevention programs. Strikingly, in the cases reviewed, the failure to support acclimatization appears to be the most common deficiency and the factor most clearly associated with death. Employers need to provide time to acclimatize for workers absent from the job for more than a few days, new employees, and those working outdoors during an extreme heat event or heat wave. Employers must ensure that all workers acclimatize to hot environments by gradually increasing duration of work in the hot environment. In addition, health care providers should be aware of the loss of acclimatization in their patients who have been out of work for a week or more and counsel them that they will need time to regain acclimatization once they return to their job. New workers and all workers returning from an absence of more than a week should begin with 20% of the usual duration of work in the hot environment on the first day, increasing incrementally by no more than 20% each subsequent day (3). During a rapid change leading to excessively hot weather or conditions such as a heat wave, even experienced workers should begin on the first day of work in excessive heat with 50% of the usual duration of work, 60% on the second day, 80% on the third, and 100% on the fourth day (9). Full acclimatization might take up to 14 days or longer to attain, depending on individual or environmental factors.
Employers should be aware of the importance of all elements, including acclimatization, in their heat illness prevention programs. They should be diligent about 1) designating a person to develop, implement, and manage the program, 2) monitoring the temperature (e.g., heat index and wet bulb globe temperature†) of their worksite, 3) providing water and rest breaks in a shaded, cool area, 4) acclimatizing workers by gradually increasing the exposure to heat or a hot environment, 5) modifying work schedules as necessary to reduce workers' exposure to heat, 6) training workers on the signs and symptoms of heat illness, 7) monitoring workers for signs of heat stress, and 8) planning for emergencies and response. Guidance provided by CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health includes information on acclimatization, work-rest schedules, adequate hydration, indices for monitoring environmental heat stress (including wet bulb globe temperature), and other recommendations that can be used for developing a heat illness prevention program (9,10).
The findings in this report are subject to at least three limitations. First, information collected retrospectively might fail to identify important elements such as individual prior acclimatization that might have been missed by OSHA Compliance Safety and Health Officers. Second, information from weather websites regarding past weather conditions relatively close to the worksite under consideration might not accurately represent conditions at the worksite itself (especially because at least one of the weather stations was more than 100 miles from the worksite) and thus might fail to identify the actual impact of weather. Finally, OSHA Compliance Safety and Health Officers performing workplace inspections might have missed program elements identified by the Heat Illness Workgroup because these elements were not part of routine information collection.

What is already known on this topic?
Exposure to heat and hot environments puts workers at risk for heat stress, which can result in heat illness and death. Guidance for prevention exists, but heat illness prevention programs are not formally implemented by most employers.
A review of 2012–2013 Occupational Safety and Health Administration federal enforcement cases (i.e., inspections) resulting in citations under paragraph 5(a)(1), the "general duty clause" of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, indicated a total of 20 cases involving heat illness and death among workers (13 cases of worker deaths and seven cases in which two or more employees experienced symptoms of heat illness). Most of the affected workers were outdoors and performing heavy or moderate work. In addition, most deaths occurred in the first 3 days of working, with four of them occurring on the worker's first day. Many employers had no heat illness prevention program. Among those with such programs, many lacked basic program elements, such as water management, shaded rest areas, work-rest cycles, and acclimatization protocols. Employers' failure to support acclimatization appears to be the most common deficiency and the factor most clearly associated with death.
Heat illness prevention recommendations include the provision of water and rest breaks in a shaded, cool area to employees. Guidance from regulatory and public/occupational health agencies should include acclimatization of workers as an essential element of employer heat illness prevention programs.

This house has grown over the centuries. The oldest part constitutes a fragment of a medieval tower. The owners of the building could be persuaded to leave the enormous hay barn as one spacious entity. It is now like a piazza and provides breathing space for the somewhat introverted house. On the whole, measures were limited to restorative work. However, some building did take place and a large, larch-wood bedroom was installed in the roof space as an independent self-supporting element.


Brian Knight has worked in social and architectural history in New England since 1997. He received a B.A. in Political Science and M.S. in Historic Preservation from the University of Vermont.As a 36 CFR Part 61 qualified consultant, he specializes in cultural resource research, documentation, and evaluation. Through his work with architectural surveys, National Register nominations, visual impact studies and tax rehabilitation applications, Mr. Knight consistently follows the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. Mr. Knight also possesses experience in education, non-profit management, museum interpretation and archives/library management. He served on several museum, historical society and planning boards.
Over the last seventeen years, Mr. Knight's historic preservation experience included private non-profits and government agencies at the local, state and national level. In addition to his extensive Vermont work, Mr. Knight subcontracted for several regional private sector firms, with projects in New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. Relevant projects included a neighborhood survey for Bennington, Vermont and a survey of modernist buildings in Burlington, Vermont.
While working for the Massachusetts Historical Commission, Mr. Knight served on the National Register evaluation committee to determine National Register eligibility for cultural resources. The committee reviewed thematic state-wide resources such as the educational buildings, bridges and the diners.Through the federally funded survey program, Mr. Knight worked with approximately fifteen communities annually. For preservation planning projects, he assisted with scopes of works and budgets, and reviewing the National Register nomination forms/inventory forms. Mr. Knight worked with municipal officials, non-profit organizations and private consultants to ensure that this work was completed satisfactorily.
Mr. Knight's work followed the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. He managed over 150 preservation projects including window restorations for museums, new additions to town halls, preservation plans for Italianate gardens and the restoration of Tiffany stained glass windows. He oversaw historic structure reports, feasibility studies and condition assessments. Mr. Knight determined successful applicants, educated grantees about grant program requirements, developed scopes of works and budgets, evaluated and approved work samples and project close-out. Mr. Knight managed Federal grant programs such as Save America's Treasures and the National Maritime Grant Program. Through the latter, he was exposed projects such as the repair of a diesel engine on a historic life saving vessel and the replacement of the decking on the U.S.S. Massachusetts, a World War Two battleship.
From 2001 to 2003, Mr. Knight was the Executive Director for Preservation Burlington, a private non-profit organization that focuses on the preservation of the built environment and the enhancement of the quality of life for Burlington, Vermont. Through this work, Mr. Knight has an array of duties including the creation of walking tour brochures, the coordination of an annual house tour and researching Burlington's historic properties.
From 2003-2009, Mr. Knight was the curator for Hildene, The Lincoln Family Home in Manchester, Vermont. Hildene was the summer home of Robert Todd Lincoln, the oldest son of Abraham Lincoln. He developed policies, standards, and programs pertaining to preservation, stewardship, development, use, and interpretation of 412-acre site with 1905 Georgian Revival home, carriage barn, 1908 observatory, two 18th Century farmhouses and their associated agricultural outbuildings (smokehouse, corn crib, pony barn, greenhouse, silos). Mr. Knight held responsibility for Lincoln Family Library and Research Center, consisting of four generations of Abraham Lincoln family books, papers and documents.


He is only going to get the MLE, only if a slight chance happens where Philly and Memphis offer more. Does not fill a need, but would push us more likely to trade Marion. Maggette is a beast.
I don't really think we will get Maggette, although I wouldn't mind it. It looks like Marion will stay with us, I'm almost positive now. We should probably pick up either Lue or Telfair for real cheap.
I know it doesn't fill a need, but it sets us up for next year. Think about it...If Maggette would accept the MLE from us, then we have to pull that trigger immediatley. You can bet your ***** that if the sixers can't pry away J Smith from Atlanta, and they won't, that they'll offer Maggette more than the Heat can...So I seriously doubt that we can get him. But I sure hope we do!!
First, I disagree with the above statement. Yes, it is kind of a rebuilding year, but we should definately make the playoffs with a healthy Wade. Our bench is decent, especially if we get a Barry like you were saying. However, the bench is not as beneficial in making the playoffs. Succeeding, yes, but making, no. Now if we get rid of Marion for some salary cap room or a center + decent SF, we'll be doing really well. The pg situation will work itself out. I'd like to see where we go with all this. Think about our bench in 06--besides Posey we weren't that great. We were built around 2 superstars, now we have 3. Just something to keep in mind.
You could quote the response your reffering to, because it looks as if your responding to my post...as you said "I disagree with the above statement"...just a suggestion.
i never mentioned if we should or shouldnt. said if we didnt..wouldnt be a bad thing. that the most important thing is improvement within the team..our bench is not decent. our bench is below average. and how can u say the bench is not beneficial in making the playoffs? u think the celtics didnt utilize baby davis, powell,pj brown,cassell and house throughout the year? the bench is critical. look at the 2006 championship season with us. we had a vet in payton backing up jwill..which in case u forgot hit some big shots in the playoffs and finals.. jones who plays defense at least..unlike ricky davis and posey AND mourning coming off the bench. think what ur saying before u say it. the bench is critical. look at at teams who won the title or make it to the finals. spurs. pistons. lakers. celtics. look at their bench..and honestly tell me that it doesnt matter.
just saw that the celtics offered contracts to magette and posey. wow lol.
If we can get Ellis for Marion that wud be perfect. If not id do Marion for Randolph.It wud give us a prospect and it wud give us enough money to sign Ellis, Smith, or Iguodola. If philly goes after Josh Smith too hard they might let Iguodola slip.
I dont think theyd do it and i dont think 10 mil is enough for Monta. I think best case wud be Marion for Monta str8 up cus wed get another franchise player and free up money. 2nd option would be Marion for Randolph which will give us a prospect for the future and free up the full 17 mil. Id feel much safer goin into free agent market with 17 million dollars open. Id even do Marion for Marco Bellineli and a 1st round pick.
nothing else there i'd want that's possible besides iggy.
just wow. that team needs more than Josh Smith. lol.
we'd definitely screw them with that but i cant see them letting ellis go now that bdizzle left. they'd have to pick up someone then..doubt they'd want a duhon or telfair too or a banks/quinn type dude. spurs trying to go younger it seems. duncan stated it in the press conference followin the spurs departure. they interested in magette..i would say send marion there but have u looked at that lineup?! besides the main 3 (duncan,ginobli,parker) there isnt someone i'm like I REALLY WANT HIM.
Wut might be the most fair trade is Marion and Haslem for Ellis. I have always been against trading Haslem but it would free up around 14 mil and wud give us Ellis. We wud be adding 2 franchise players.
I don't know that Ellis is the answer, but I'm in favor of trading both Haslem and Marion. The reason? Marion has one year left on his current deal and Miami should not give him the huge extension he wants. I expect him gone after this season. That leaves Udonis...and by the way, we now have Beasley. So, any trade involving both Udonis and Marion I view as just trading Haslem since B-Easy can take over the PF spot (and Marion I consider gone anyway).
Yea but that trade clears like 14 mil off our salary cap. Not only wud we have Ellis but it would give us enough money to get Iguodla or Smith or Biedrins or Okafor. Getting 1 of those players alone would be worth it. Ellis is a bonus. Even if Ellis couldnt make that transiton to point i wud have no problem paying him 10 mil to be the sixth man(very worst case scenerio) for the next 5 years. We need a bench anyway. It would be an offseason that we added 3franchise players. Looks more then fair for Golden State I dont c why it couldnt happen.
The Miami Heat is believed to be preparing a sign-and-trade offer for Los Angeles Clippers forward Elton Brand, recognizing the need to supplement No. 2 overall pick Michael Beasley to appease superstar Dwyane Wade, who can become an unrestricted free agent in 2010.

RWD or Responsive Web Design is a design approach that would be allowing the code and the design to respond intuitively to the size of any device's screen. This implies that you would be getting optimal viewing experience irrespective of the device you are using.
The vital factor responsible for the success of a responsive web design is identifying and understanding the preferences of your audience. Find out what device they actually use while viewing your website. You need to have a clear idea about the components of your current traffic. How many of them are tablet users, desktop users, or even the mobile users? It is essential to come up with a website design that is responsive to varying devices. However, it is quite a complicated and challenging affair to design across diverse web browsers. Moreover, there are numerous versions of browsers which require being catered to.
One of the significant factors that are responsible for the success of an intuitive or responsive web design is the capacity to give a better experience to the users accessing the website via mobile devices. Responsive web design should not be restricted to or treated as just a small screen resolution. In fact, responsive web design is advantageous to practically all screen sizes including excessively large displays as well. While designing any web experience, you should not only consider Mobile First as your ultimate goal, you must also keep in mind larger screen sizes.
Shifting from the typical multiple columns meant for a larger screen to just one column layout meant for a really small screen is the chief characteristic of any responsive site. However, keep in mind that only changes in columns are not enough. Different contents present on your site necessitate different layout approaches.
Navigation plays a pivotal role in the development of a responsive website design. Scalable navigation is a must for creating a responsive website. You must understand that what is working exceptionally well for any large device may not perform smoothly on other smaller devices. You cannot just have a constant and a uniform navigation experience across diverse screen sizes. You must concentrate on creating a truly user-friendly navigation all the way.

The multiple-source drug reimbursement formula contained in the House-passed legislation to provide drugs under Medicare would inhibit price competition, Purdue University's Pharmaceutical Economics Research Center Director Stephen Schondelmeyer, PhD, concluded in a report prepared for the Senate Finance Committe. The House formula, based on 50% of the brandname product's published AWP, "is likely to inhibit price competition because it is a formula based on the pricing decision of a single drug manufacturer, the drug product originator," the report states. "By definition of the formula, the originator can never price in a manner to allow its product to be available at the reimbursement limit because the limit must be one-half" the originator's price. Furthermore, if a brand product was priced to compete with generic competitors, the report points out, the House reimbursement level "would be so low that pharmacists would not be able to purchase even one generic product at or below this limit." "This problem already exists for 11 of the top 100 multisource durg entities," Schondelmeyer maintained. For example, for theophylline 300 mg controlled release tablets, the brand AWP is $18.96/100 and the lowest generic AWP is $13.13/100. Consequently, he said, the House reimbursement would be $9.48/100, "which is $3.65 below the lowest AWP available to the pharmacist." Senate staffers are citing the Schondelmeyer findings to demonstrate the superiority of the Senate formula. House aides point out that the data do not account for lower-of provisions, which assure that reimbursements are not made when the formula produces a limit far above the usual and customary retail price. The Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association and the Reagan Administration are committed to the Senate bill. The Generic Pharmaceutical Industry Association and the American Pharmaceutical Association, which generally favor the House measure, find the median AWP formula preferable to the Senate formula. However, APhA reportedly would rather see the median AWP plus 20%. The Schondelmeyer report defines the ratio of a reference product's AWP to the lowest generic's AWP as "an indication of the degree of competitiveness within each multisource drug entity category." Using that ratio, Schondelmeyer cited what he called "dramatic noncompetitive stances," by several brandname companies that face generic competition. The ratio is 28.8 to 1 for bethanechol chloride, 23.9 to 1 for meprobamate, 22.4 to 1 for meclizine, 17.9 to 1 for doxycycline, and 17.2 to 1 for diazepam. "Twenty of the top 100 multisource drug entity categories had ratios greater than 10 to 1," he reported. On the other hand, "other multisource drug entity categories have very narrow ratios of reference brand AWP to lowest AWP, indicating a more competitive market," the report states. "Ten multisource drug entity categories had ratios less than 2 to 1. The House formula "causes the most problems with respect to product availability at or below the established reimbursement limits," the report continues. The Senate formula represents an improvement over the House formula in terms of greater availability of products, the report maintains.


Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic says manager Jose Mourinho was right in expecting a tough away game against Aston Villa on Saturday.
The Blues had to work hard to battle past Paul Lambert's men and the Serbian believes these are the kind of points that could win Chelsea the title.
"The manager said before the game that it is going to be difficult and we have to expect that Aston Villa gives 200 per to win or take a point," Matic told the club's official website.
"And it was exactly like this.
"It was a difficult game and especially when they scored a goal. After that it was difficult for us to come back again into the game but Ivanovic scored the goal and after that it was not easy for us but easier.
"We knew that it was going to be very difficult to win and that is why we are very happy. Maybe these kind of games are going to decide the title."
Since returning from Benfica in January 2014, the 26-year-old became a pivotal man in Jose Mourinho's midfield and says his dream is to lift the Premier League crown with the Blues.
"I came to Chelsea in January and Benfica were champions at the end [of last season] and they sent me a medal so I was very happy, it is always nice when you win," he said.
"It is different when you are all season in a club and it would be special for me if we win but we have many games to the end and only seven points lead, because Manchester City are a very good team, they will fight to the end and we will see at the end.
"We are in a good way at the moment and we will try to keep like this but it is a long way to go."

At first glance, DANIEL w. FLETCHER's Autumn/Winter 2017 collection may not inspire an air of protest, which was cited as a source of inspiration this season. Look closer. One of Fletcher's great strengths is his ability to create garments with subtlety, and in this collection the fabrics and their tailoring speak loudly of reconstruction.
Fletcher communicates this restorative process through patchwork pieces made from luxurious fabrics that convey an ease akin to some of Celine's most enviable pieces. Also introduced in this collection was Fletcher's take on the recent return to logos, shown on nothing less than a shearling netball vest. Suit jackets and trousers were turned inside-out to reveal the binding that holds them all together, and were topped off with caps enforced with leather to create a charmingly militant product. The silhouettes and palette of the collection (Rich earth tones paired with black and navy) garnered inspiration from today's most fashionable decade: the 70s. However, Fletcher isn't merely calling upon the 70s for fashion, but also for its spirit to rise up and act; and after the hopelessness that 2016 inspired in many, I'm certainly happy to have a designer focused both on the possibility of positive change, and the importance of looking good while doing it.

The Great Lakes are Overflowed With Grain This Year
Between March 22 and the end of July this year, the St. Lawrence Seaway moved 514,000 tonnes of grain out of the Great Lakes. Comparing this to the same time last year, there has been a 37% increase.
Deputy administrator for the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Craig H. Middlebrook stated that the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway System "continues to provide shippers a stable route for a varied variety of commodities flowing in and out of the US heartland as the season develops."
Thanks to the port employees and seafarers who maintain the efficient flow of necessary goods like grain and steel through the Seaway's marine supply chain, cargo volumes continue to increase.
According to the August study from the Great Lakes Seaway Partnership, the increase in US grain exports will help allay concerns about food security throughout the world following the conflict in Ukraine. During the month of July, at least 27 countries have received grain from the US Great Lakes, up from 26 in June.
VP of Business Development for the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority Joseph Cappel remarked, "We are also seeing some new grain products and bulk goods in our mix this season. Our plan of acquiring machinery and building facilities with many uses has been successful. We are capable of handling almost any kind of freight."
The amount of money invested in infrastructure and equipment at Great Lakes ports is likewise rising. Increased grain exports, congested roads, rising energy prices, and a breakdown in the supply chain are responsible for this.
"We are now witnessing the effects of a boom in the maritime industry, which was previously Oswego's defining feature. According to William W. Scriber, executive director of the Port of Oswego, "our ongoing expenditures of over $26 million include upgrades to our facilities to make the port once again a leader on the lakes."
"We're especially delighted that our revenue, without relying on government dollars, not only supports our operations but also local jobs and companies."
What Is The St. Lawrence Seaway?
Located in both Canada and the United States, the St. Lawrence Seaway is a network of locks, canals, and channels that allows oceangoing ships to pass from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes of North America.
The Saint Lawrence River, which originates in Lake Ontario and empties into the Atlantic Ocean, bears the name of the Seaway. On the river, it is projected that around 160 million metric tonnes of commercial cargo are handled annually.
Eight U.S. states and two Canadian provinces are part of the Great Lakes-Seaway System's service area. With a GDP of $5.5 trillion, the region would have the third-largest economy in the world, surpassing that of countries like Japan, Germany, Brazil, and the United Kingdom.
With 107 million residents, the region is home to about 40% of all cross-border trade between the United States and Canada.

Meet God's Ambassador to Haiti: Cebien Alexis
Great Opportunity to bring Help and Hope Directly to the Haitian People
Since 1492, when Christopher Columbus landed in Haiti, the country has known mostly suffering. Haiti was once France's wealthiest colony. Its great yields of lumber and sugar cane were possible only through the labor of imported African slaves, who were worked so cruelly that they usually died within a few years. Slavery in Haiti was perhaps the most brutal the world has ever seen. Finally in 1799, slaves, outnumbering their colonial masters by 10 to 1, carried out the only successful slave revolt in history. Haiti became the world's first post-colonial black-led nation. Sadly, though, thanks to oppressive and evil governments and natural disasters, the suffering of the Haitian people has continued. Lying only 700 miles off our shores, is there something we as believers can do to bring them relief through the love of Christ? YES! And now is the time!
Haiti, with its ten million people, is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. To worsen things, in January 2010, a massive earthquake virtually destroyed the capital of Port-au-Prince, resulting in 300,000 deaths and leaving 1.5 million homeless. In October 2016, devastating Hurricane Matthew slammed into southwestern Haiti, affecting over 2.1 million people. Some of the damage is shown above.
Despite the billions in aid money given for Haiti over the years, conditions for the average Haitian have not improved. Why is this? One big reason is the funds given have not been invested wisely in Haitian leaders whose heart is for the people, leaders like Cebien Alexis, shown right. It's time for a change!
Cebien Alexis sees the gospel as the only answer to Haiti's problems. And he knows how best to apply it. Cebien came to the Lord as a boy through a Baptist missionary's vacation Bible school. When he told his family, his father kicked him out of the house. With help from relatives, he completed high school, and Bible school as well. The Bible school taught not only the fundamentals of preaching, church history, and theology, but also many practical skills. Cebien absorbed it all. Then he enrolled in a correspondence course with a Swiss seminary. Following more study in Switzerland and the Ivory Coast, Cebien received a Doctoral Degree in plant-based medicine in 1979. But most of that he did in his spare time.
In 1971, after graduation from Bible school, Cebien launched into evangelism, impelled by the Lord to reach his people with the gospel. At age 27, Cebien used his last $12 to rent a run-down building in the town of Ile Adam and buy lumber for benches. He held his first evangelistic meetings and planted a church in that town with 11 newly saved people. Before the end of the year, 100 people were meeting regularly for worship.
From that small beginning, Cebien's ministry, EBAC, known in English as Army of Christ, has borne great fruit. Cebien and his co-workers have raised up more than 200 churches in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. In the process many witch doctors have come to Christ. An orphanage has been founded which has transformed the lives of hundreds of children. Cebien conducts evangelistic crusades four times a year. When possible, EBAC helps provide buildings for thriving churches. His ministry includes elementary schools and school lunch programs, business start-up projects for church members, and disaster relief. Faith Christian University, started by Cebien, provides training to Christian men and women in agriculture, nursing, environmental protection, and disaster risk assessment.
The Lord is using Cebien in powerful ways to win his people to Christ and help them improve their lives. He is known by most people in Haiti, including the powerful. At one time, he was asked to be Haiti's ambassador to Germany but turned down the offer. His answer: "Why should I serve man when I can serve the King of kings?"
In June Christie and I and a small team will be visiting various ministry sites with Cebien in Haiti. It will be a great opportunity to see the work Cebien has been doing. HBI was blessed to send funds to aid in the relief work following Hurricane Matthew. We have sent funds for schools, building projects, pastoral support, economic development and the like. Now we will see first-hand how the funds have been utilized. We plan to bring funds with us that can be applied directly to the most urgent areas of need and opportunity. The more we can raise, the more we can directly support this excellent work. One current project Cebien is working on is the provision of 3 goats to families that lost everything in the hurricane. This will enable them to both earn income and provide sustenance to their families. By growing their flocks, they will be able to give young goats to other families. The cost is $200 per family.
Will you help us increase what can be done? Gifts can be given online at
www.hope-builders.org or sent in by check to PO Box 91359, Austin, TX 78709. Gifts received by May 30 will travel with us to Haiti and go directly into helping bring spiritual and holistic blessings to the Haitian people.
Let's make an eternal investment now in this needy island, so close to home!

Princeton University studied the effects of clutter in home and work lives.
Based on findings from their report "Interactions of Top-Down and Bottom-Up Mechanisms in Human Visual Cortex", researchers found that in a cluttered environment, your brain must multitask and work overtime because the chaos is distracting and prevents you from processing information as well as you would in an organized and calm environment.
The researchers used fMRI to map the brain's responses and task performance when interacting with organized and disorganized stimuli. The study found those who purged the unnecessary from home and work spaces were less irritable, paid more attention to detail, had higher levels of productivity and were able to process information faster.
If you want to concentrate on something and not be distracted by piles of paper, dirty dishes and other reminders of unfinished tasks, you may want to adopt a minimalist approach to your home and workspace – within your environment as a whole and in the way you tackle your to-dos.
Straight away – get rid of that clutter. If it's not essential to your daily work, then either let it go, file it or put it in a drawer.
Focus on one project at a time, and put items to the side that aren't related to the task at hand.
When done with a project, spend the time to straighten up and put or file everything away.
Be selective. Every item you bring into your home or workspace (even if it's "free") requires your time. You have to maintain it, store it, clean it, look at it and eventually discard it. Even extra apps on your phone and multiple social media channels you follow take your focus away from what you need to accomplish.
Keep your files up-to-date. When you don't have a system to store what you need to use and reference, you spend valuable time looking, instead of working. Develop a file system for both your paperwork and your computer documents, so you can find what you need easily.
Try not to use your email inbox for storage; deal with it and then delete it or file it. Can you get to "inbox zero" at the end of each day?
Choose tools that help you do your job better. You don't need every new gadget – technology and tools you don't use become clutter – but when you find something that will help you do your job or project better and faster – then it's a worthwhile investment.

During this conversation, he is clearly looking at other men desiringly. She used to walk all over the world and now her world is small and dirty.
Beau Willie comes to the house despite the court order and while he is there he becomes apologetic saying he just wants to marry her and give her things.
The choreopoem is performed by a cast of seven nameless women only identified by the colors they are assigned. They are the lady in red, lady in orange, lady in yellow, lady in green, lady in blue, lady in brown, and lady in purple.
Nyla's mind completely goes blank during the abortion as Rose tells her of a story about her life in Harlem "I Used to Live in the World". The lady in red states that society only believes someone is a rapist if they are a perverted stranger.
Jo Bradmore represents red, Tangie Adrose represents orange, Yasmine represents yellow, Juanita Sims represents green, Kelly Watkins represents blue, Nyla Adrose represents purple, Crystal Wallace represents brown, and Rose represents pink.
She starts by describing them as three friends who shared every aspect of their lives. As Nyla prays, Alice attempts to exorcise her with ashes and hot oil, hurting Nyla. Crystal is still wondering how Beau Willie could do such a thing, but Gilda tells her that she also needs to take responsibility for not leaving Beau Willie sooner, and tells her that she needs to get out of the apartment.
She gave her dance, but her dance was not enough. They remember a time when they all were attracted to the same man, but he only could choose one of them. However, Yasmine is too traumatized from her rape to answer the door, so Nyla leaves. Juanita is at the hospital giving advice on safe sex to women when Frank comes along to ask for forgiveness, but Juanita refuses to give in to his advances.
The women cry and comfort each other like sisters. Subjects from rapeabandonment, abortionand domestic violence are tackled. Two weeks later, the doctor calls the lady in yellow with her patient number 7QYG9 to inform her that she is HIV positive. She ends her monologue by calling it her poem "thank-you for music," to which she states: Crystal comments that she does not feel awake and thinks that this is what death must feel like.
Alice goes out to raise money, and encounters Yasmine, who gives her a little money. The film opens with the nine main characters reciting a poem of their inner thoughts "Dark Phrases". She tries to calm their fears by telling them a story about how she met her first husband "Toussaint".
She then leaves to let Nyla and Tangie enjoy their night together. Tangie kicks her suitor out after he asks her to invite Nyla for a threesome.

We decided to try the Mellow Mushroom for dinner tonight. Friday night and the place was packed. We had about a 30 minute wait before we got a table. This is one of those restaurants where the acoustics are horrible. Bare floors, open ceiling and you can barely hear yourself think, never mind trying to actually have a conversation without yelling across the table. We definitely didn't need it, but we started off with the spinach artichoke dip.
The dip itself was tasty, but I'm just not a fan of crunchy toast points. I find them hard to eat. I actually wasn't sure that 6 pieces of bread were going to be enough, but it ended up being a good ratio of dip to scoop. For our pizza, we went for a medium Holy Shiitake.
I really enjoyed this pizza. It had shiitake, button, and portobello mushrooms, onions and a blend of cheeses plus a garlic and olive oil base. It was had such a wonderful blend of flavors. The crust was perfectly cooked, not too crunchy, not too soft. I would absolutely order it again, though probably to go. Total bill with a drink was $20.


Every journey requires a successful plan and a road map to get to the destination.
To get my brand out into the world, I have to push everyday and I have to push hard. I have to make over 100 phone calls to business owners and get a contact going, in order to achieve my goals of $10k monthly. I push and work hard to double by income monthly, there is no nobility in poverty. When you are pushing a new brand or product into the market place, you have to use every tactic there is possible to get yourself known. As network marketers you have to push even harder because your competing against all of the noise out there, the chirping and chapping of people that are distracted, people that are smoking week, people that are distracted and not going anywhere in life, people that think its cool to get fat, bloated & stupid.
I am all about becoming smarter, more successful & build a strong base of wealth that becomes foundation to build momentum that changes the earth. I am after the big stuff, I do not care what others think of me. I have a higher purpose, I need to build my brand and I need to make a name for myself. I am strongest when I am on my purpose and I have clarity on that purpose. My purpose is to leave behind a legacy of a big company that brought a lot of good to people, because if I can make it truly anybody can.
I represent the under dogs, I represent the hustlers that weren't born with everything in the world. I represent the down under and out, I represent the middle class that's been brain washed by the media and education system that average performance is enough.
I am one that seizes opportunities and makes them into reality, I have potential that far surpasses the average. I am greatness personified. I am only being modest when I say I am destined for greatness. People can take away everything I have but you can't take away my hustle muscle, you can't take away my spirit.
I am the one that makes it out of all my friends and family and I will lead the way through consistently build the hustle muscle. I am successful because I am willing to be more consistent than anybody else. I am consistent because I work hard each day to be the best I can be. I am consistent because my vision is clear, I am consistent because I go after what I want. I am consistent because I don't take no for an answer. I am consistent because I re-focus on my life purpose and vision everyday and every minute.I am consistent because my life purpose is more important than anything else in life.
Another fellow tree service guy and I have already reached out to him through a warm contact and I was able to lock down a deal where he will purchase HAM Radio for all his vehicles for me because as I said these business owners and entrepeneurs have to motivate themselves and fire themselves up to bring their business & brand to the next level. I think most of you can agree that its the early bird that gets the worm.
I am up 24/7 and I'm pushing and grinding for my survival, like a hungry rot whiler or pit bull with some teeth, bite and voraciousness. I'm tired of average, its time to take it the next level and become great.
When I was young I had dreams of being successful but those visions were very vague and in the dream land, I didn't even think I could reach out to those dreams. Now as an adult, with my experience in selling radio I have an actual shot at making it. If I continue to develop successful habits, I have a true shot at actually making it as a millionaire, perhaps the first in my family lineage.
I am now 100% committed to this path and to my life mission to accomplish this for myself so that I can become a role model for millions of young people around the world and teach them about hard work ethics, going after your dreams, and life is about unlimited possibilities. In order to achieve this massive goal of becoming an inspiration to others, I have to change and become a new person that has grown personally and spiritually. Someone that makes no excuses, someone that is committed, someone that follows through, a person that operates at the leading edge.
so For all the nay sayers out there you all can sit back and watch while I make something big happen. I am now operating at a whole new level now you see, I am the wolf and I will stop at nothing until my goal is actualized. I will become a millionaire. I must become a millionaire. I will stop at nothing until I become a millioinaire. I will gain all the resources and the mentors out there to make this happen. I am the greatest sales man in the world.
When everyone is sleeping in, I am up hustling, writing content that will make me thousands of dollars down the road. When everyone is watching sports games, I am making calls and shutting deals down. When everyone is out partying, I am in building my business and strategizing how to acquire new clients. When everyone tells me to take a break, I excuse myself and work even harder. Women come into my life but they do not affect my work ethics. I have the will power of steels, I do not waiver from my mission because many young children of the world depend on me. I am always focused on my mission because when I become a millionaire I can help my parents, I can inspire my sister and my brother, and I will influence the world.
I am a power house. I am an entrepreneur I find out ways to make things happen, I rise up to the challenges and over come them.
These are some of thoughts going through my mind as I get my mind right towards success.
We were contacted by a limousine manufacturer few weeks back, about a big contract where the owner of the company wants to install the HAM radio as standard build on all of the limousine they manufacturer.
This company is based in Michigan and they build & sell unique limos all over the world such as Bentley, Rolls Royce & Excaliburs. The owner told me they would install satellite radios but it would hardly ever be used most times when the customers bring their own music on their iPhones, and the big drawback of course with satellite radio is that there is a monthly fee. With all the limos that this company produces, installing separate satellite radio to every vehicle became a big hassle for them.
Yet having only radio was a poor alternative when the customer didn't bring their music as the dreadful commercial would spoil the whole luxury environment, which is understandable, I mean who would want to hear about pizza specials going on during a wedding ride?
The Michigan limo builder owner found out about HAM radio well on the radio ironically enough, and decided to do a bit of research on us and was on the fence about it, till few days ago he visited his friends restaurant and they were installing our HAM radio so the customer can now enjoy their meal while listening to the best music that is current, best of all commercial free and non stop.
This was enough to have him sold and after speaking to us about different elements, he was ready to make a big purchase of 500 units to start off and only increasing from there.
We also did a bit of research on this company and even saw some of his limousines that he was building, we were blown away at the whole operation. They were cutting sports cars like 2015 corvettes and stretching them into a full blown luxury limousines with suicidal doors and the whole shebang.
I have to say I am thoroughly impressed and the owner is a stand out guy, very thrilled about the radios and just seemed like very proactive guy that's excited about his business, we could relate and resonate with him because we are the exact same way. One cool thing about owning your own business like this is that you get to meet other similar entrepreneurs like yourself and have an instant connection.
I highly recommend checking out his Limousine Sales Site, and having a look at some of the stuff he sells, the Ferrari limo looks pretty slick.
As word of mouth spread our HAM radios, we are very excited to see what other new doors will open for us. For now, this new account has got us pretty off the wall jacked excited.


After a full career which has spanned decades without a lull Tom Harrell is as busy as ever. Here he introduces a new, project which supplements his working quintet with two new additions - saxophonist Jaleel Shaw and bassist/singer Esperanza Spalding.
Esperanza can be heard lending her voice to a number of Tom's impressive compositions, sometimes using it in a such way that it takes on the role of an instrument and also delivering a wonderfully unique version of his popular 'Sail Away' in Portuguese ('Velejar'). Colors Of A Dream is perhaps Harrell's most imaginative recording to date.

Corrado (Joe) Manfredi (2009)
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Corrado (Joe) Manfredi of Annadale, a businessman and the owner of Manfredi Auto Group, who cherished his family and was fiercely proud of his Italian heritage, died Saturday at his winter home in Boca Raton, Fla., after suffering a heart attack. He was 77.
Mr. Manfredi was the embodiment of the American dream, arriving in New York from his native Italy as a teen, and working his way up through the automotive and sales industry to becoming one of the most successful business owners in the field.
Born in Mola di Bari, Italy, he immigrated to the United States in 1952, at the age of 14, moving to Brooklyn. After graduating from Brooklyn Automotive High School, he worked for several years as an auto mechanic at various shops until he was hired by the owners of Safe Rambler in Brooklyn.
He was quickly promoted from mechanic to service manager, and was brought into the sales end of the business. He eventually bought out the dealership, and later added Safe Toyota and Safe Suburu.
He launched the Manfredi Auto Mall in 1962, and in 1986 he bought Staten Island Toyota, eventually relocating the dealership from Bulls Head to its present location on Hylan Boulevard in Dongan Hills.
Today, Manfredi Auto Group has 11 car dealership franchises on Staten Island, located up and down Hylan Boulevard, from Grasmere to Dongan Hills.
VALUED EMPLOYEES, CUSTOMERS
"This was a legendary, iconic car person -- not just on Staten Island, but in New York City," said Al Lambert, an auto industry mainstay on Staten Island who got to know Manfredi in the mid-1970s and currently works as a public relations coordinator and sales executive for Manfredi Auto Group.
"He was so good to his employees, gave so much to charities and organizations that a lot of people didn't know about," Lambert said. "It's a real tragedy."
What made Mr. Manfredi so successful, Lambert said, was not only his intelligence and natural business acumen, but also the way he treated his employees.
"He knew and recognized the value of employees -- what they contributed to his business," Lambert said. "He knew they were resources and he treated them very well."
"He was a teacher, a mentor, a father figure, and just a great person," said Miguel Rodriguez, general manager of sales for Manfredi Toyota, who has worked there for 20 years.
Mr. Manfredi hired him at age 19, and taught him the business. "He was patient and he expected you to learn from your mistakes. His motto was: 'He who doesn't fail can never learn'," Rodriguez said.
Employees described Mr. Manfredi as a 'hands-on guy" who made the rounds of his dealerships frequently, and was accessible to customers and employees.
"He valued customers' loyalty and satisfaction," Rodriguez said. As a result, the Manfredi dealerships had many second-generation customers, who bought cars there and returned years later with their adult children, who would purchase a vehicle.
Through the years, Mr. Manfredi brought his own five children into the business, including his four daughters, and son, Nicholas (Nick), who managed the day-to-day operations.
Mr. Manfredi lived in Brooklyn, the Bronx and Rockland County before moving to Annadale with his wife, the former Esther (Tina) Griseta. The two met through family members. They had a winter home in Florida, where they spent up to six months every year.
FAMILY VALUES IMPORTANT
"Family values were very important to my father. We always had Sunday dinners together. We have traditions; we do sauce together," said Mr. Manfredi's daughter, Isabella Bellochio, referring to an annual sauce-making event in which the family takes part.
Mr. Manfredi also enjoyed soccer and was a member and supporter of several soccer clubs.
According to his family, he was fiercely proud of his Italian roots, and was a benefactor to several Italian causes. Family members said he assisted the poor, and even arranged for delivery of an ambulance to his hometown in Italy.
Surviving Mr. Manfredi, along with Tina, his wife of 55 years, his son, Nick, and daughter, Isabella, are his daughters, Antoinette Manfredi, Anna Quadara and Giovanna Cina; a sister, Rita Scarimbolo; 15 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
The funeral will be Wednesday, from the Torregrossa Funeral Home, with a mass at 9:30 a.m. mass in St. Dominic's R.C. Church, both Brooklyn. Entombment will follow in Resurrection Cemetery, Pleasant Plains.

Q: Slick slider: навигация при наведении на точки При стандартной реализации,slick-slider перелистывается при клике, мне же необходимо, чтобы слайды менялись не при клике на навигационные точки, а при наведении на них.
  $('#slider-1').slick({

      dots: true,
      arrows: false,
      fade: true,
      autoplay: false,

  });

A: Для переключения на конкретно заданный слайд можно использовать метод slickGoTo.
Синтаксис метода:
$('.your-element').slick('slickGoTo', index, [, dontAnimate]);

Параметры:

*

*index - индекс слайда, на который будет выполнен переход. Целое число.

*dontAnimate - пропуск анимации. Булево значение. Значение по умолчанию - false.

По умолчанию в качестве точек навигации плагин создаёт HTML разметку примерно следующего содержания:

    <button type="button" ...>1</button>

Событие mouseenter генерируются, когда курсор мыши переходит на элемент. В качестве такого элемента я выбрал кнопку button: при наведении на неё меняется стиль курсора.
Ниже демка с использованием двух слайдеров.

$('.slider').slick({
  dots: true,
  arrows: false,
  fade: true,
  autoplay: false,

  // dotsClass: 'slick-dots'
});

$('.slider').on('mouseenter', '.slick-dots button', function(event) {
  $(this).parents('.slider').slick('slickGoTo', $(this).parent().index());
});
.page {
  max-width: 400px;
  margin: 2.5rem auto;
}

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/kenwheeler/slick@1.8.1/slick/slick.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/kenwheeler/slick@1.8.1/slick/slick-theme.css" />

A: Если бы меня попросили решить эту задачу в максимально сжатые сроки, я выбрал бы подобное решение:
$('.slick-dots button').mouseenter(function (e) {
    var btn = $(this);
    btn[0].click();
});

Т.е. просто отлавливаем событие появления курсора мыши (mouseenter) над навигационным элементом слайдера (.slick-dots button) и кликаем на него, повесив всю остальную работу на Slick.
p.s.: накидал простой пример - https://jsfiddle.net/Denisdude/dkL312o8/23/
