STUART WEITZMAN HOLIDAY 2019 CAMPAIGN FILM STARRING MISTY COPELAND
This film is a continuation of the celebration of strength in femininity showcased through bold energy, movement and dance.
The Stuart Weitzman Holiday 2019 campaign "Step Inside" stars esteemed classical ballerina Misty Copeland in a continuation of the brand's dedication to celebrating strength in femininity and illustrating it through bold energy, movement and dance. It marks the brand's first-ever holiday campaign.
This concept is brought to life through the medium of ballet — a harmonious balance of physical strength and effortless femininity — and one of its leading stars.
Copeland steps inside an SW shoebox wrapped in red ribbon and into a colorful, energetic fashion fantasy filled with the Stuart Weitzman Holiday 2019 Collection, signifying the surprise and delight that comes when opening the brand's signature blue violet box. Throughout the short film, her graceful twists and turns — choreographed by Copeland herself — demonstrate the comfort and ease of moving in SW shoes and the brand's DNA of empowering women to conquer every step of their day by melding fashion, function and fit in each design.
The Merinda features a wraparound design courtesy of SW's Head of Product Design, Edmundo Castillo. "I was inspired by the brand's history and my own history as a designer to create a new timeless silhouette that makes the foot look beautiful," Castillo says of the look, which has become a new red carpet staple and go-to for party dressing. "To do so, I carefully placed every strap to create a design that combines fashion, function and fit and will stand the test of time."

I've started working with Luxury Cayman Villas [cue the bottle popping] !
I am so excited to have this incredible brand as a new client for my brand consulting work and to celebrate this new partnership, we've decided to give something back to YOU!
As you may have seen in my previous blog (see The Most Pinterest-Worthy Dinner of All Time!), Luxury Cayman Villas does island luxury to perfection. With over 19 beautiful luxury villas in their portfolio (and over 4 more in the pipeline), their brand really elevates the vacation rental market in the Cayman Islands.
But as a local/islander/resident (whatever you call yourself), it can be really tough to get access to this type of experience, for many reasons! Sourcing a large villa to rent with family or friends for a long weekend can be near impossible. Many villas have a 5 night minimum and some even state they "don't rent to locals" - an attitude that's really quite deplorable.
My desire is to share the uber inspiring, memory-making experience of staycationing at a beachside villa. With this in mind, and hoping to bring more local awareness to this fantastic brand, we've come up with an exciting offer for you that you seriously can't beat!
Luxury Cayman Villas are now offering a 20% discount plus an additional 5% off if you mention Lustic Life when booking at any of the following villas for bookings between now and December 2nd 2017!
As you'll see this villas are gorgeous and this deal makes them incredibly good value - think around US$150 per night per person for total luxury and zero stress!
Be sure to check out the LCV blogpost with even more info!
Have the best time. I can't wait to see your snaps!

Divine Language Sanskrit
The supreme ideology, as expressed in the Upanishads, exposes the highest possibility of perfection in human thinking, in the scientific as well as religious way. The Vedas as well as Sanskrit language are interwoven in the very fabric of Hindu Religion. The Vedas, Upanishads, Epics and Puranas, which are in Sanskrit language, are not limited to philosophy and religion alone, but have within them very many subtle and hidden references of modem sciences too. The Atharvaveda, the ancient Sanskrit literary piece, consists of a lot many references of Mathematics, Chemistry, Botany, Metallurgy, Astronomy and the Ayurveda. Charaka and Sushruta, in their Scriptures on Ayurveda, deal with several diseases and their remedies, including surgery as well as plastic surgery too. During ancient times though the main focus was on Religion and Philosophy(Darshan), yet the achievements in other fields related to life activities were no less by any means.
The Sanskrit language is considered by the ignorant as a dead language, which in reality is not true. It has got a lot in itself to offer to the modem world. Each and every 'Akshara" (alphabet) of this language has a science behind it. The very existence of the Sanskrit language, when compared in its ancient galore, with other languages like Hebrew and Aramaic, that are no more in existence show the superiority of the Sanskrit Language and the omnipotent reason for its existence. The purity of the language too has been maintained, right from the Vedic times till this day. The Sanskrit language, with its ancient galore, vast literary compositions, perfect grammatical structures and other linguistic and philosophical aspects, has established supremacy over otqer languages.
The linguists of the computer world too have started looking afresh towards this language and its unique and perfect grammar, which may, in the future be universally accepted for its uniqueness; and would become computer friendly in the areas of Programming, Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence.
The huge treasure of Sanskrit Literature, encompassing in itself a variety of stories and mythological legends, has always played a vital role in inculcating values for character building, positive thinking, patriotism, perseverence, selflessness, etc. in the young minds. Today the world has turned towards the wisdom propounded by the ancient sages of the Vedic times. It has started appreciating and understanding the convergence of the Vedic Ideology with Modem Science.
The unfathomable literary wealth of the Sanskrit Language, interwoven in the culture and heritage of the Sanatana Dharma, dazzles us. Therefore it becomes our prime responsibility to pass down this rich wealth of the Sanskrit literature blended with the ancient culture, to the next generation so as to enrich them in all spheres of life. This is the Mission of Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul, Rajkot. This Mission is being given form and shape through its offshoots in Junagadh, Ahmedabad, Surat, Hyderabad and Chharodi.

What are the negative health effects of drinking beer on a daily basis?
By Nation World News Desk
Some people have the habit of drinking beer or other types of alcohol on a daily basis. It is important to know that consuming this drink can have serious health effects.
As detailed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Binge drinking is defined as 8 or more drinks per week for women and 15 or more drinks per week for men.
According to these centers, one drink contains 0.6 ounces, which is equal to 1.2 tablespoons or 14.0 grams). Each drink can be differentiated as follows:
12 oz beer (5% alcohol content).
5 ounces of wine (with 12% alcohol content).
1.5 ounces of 80 proof (40% alcohol) distilled spirits (such as gin, rum, vodka or whiskey).
Medline Plus Specialist, The website of the United States National Library of Medicine states that daily consumption of alcohol has negative effects on people's health. In addition to affecting the ability to reason and judge, If you have high blood pressure it becomes difficult to control, and in pregnant women it can harm the baby.
They also explain that long-term alcohol consumption can increase the risk of suffering from certain conditions such as the following:
damage to neurons.
Permanent memory loss.
Bleeding from the stomach or esophagus.
Inflammation and damage to the pancreas.
Liver damage.
malnutrition.
Cancer of the esophagus, liver, colon, head and neck, breast, among others.
heart problems.
Cerebrovascular accidents.
Nerve damage (numbness in hands and feet, erection problems, dribbling of urine, or problems urinating).
It is important that when receiving a diagnosis of diabetes, the recommendations provided by the doctor are followed. In addition, if you want to drink alcohol, you should consult with a professional whether it is healthy to do so in each specific case.
It is advisable to consult a doctor, as drinking alcoholic beverages like beer can lead to high or low levels of glucose in one's blood. These effects depend on the amount of alcohol consumed and the medication being taken.
"The liver releases glucose into the bloodstream to help keep blood sugar at normal levels. When you drink alcohol, your liver needs to break it down. When your liver is processing it, This stops the release of glucose. As a result, your blood sugar level may drop rapidly, putting you at risk for low blood sugar. (hypoglycemia)", details MedlinePlus.
It is a disorder in which there is a problem in controlling the amount of alcohol drunk, even when it is seen that the said consumption is causing the problem.
In the words of the Mayo Clinic, a non-profit organization dedicated to clinical practice, education and research, symptoms in people with this disorder include:
"Being unable to limit the amount of alcohol I drink.
Intend to reduce the amount you drink or have tried without success.
Spending a lot of time drinking, drinking, or recovering from alcohol abuse.
Feeling a strong desire or craving to drink alcohol.
Being unable to meet important obligations at work, school, or home because of frequent drinking.
Continuing to use alcohol knowing it is causing you physical, social, work or interpersonal problems.
Give up or limit social and work activities and hobbies in order to consume alcohol.
Consuming alcohol in unsafe situations, such as while driving or swimming.
Developing a tolerance to alcohol, so you need to take more to feel the effect or you feel less effect with the same amount.
To avoid these symptoms, do not drink alcohol, or appear symptoms like nausea, sweating and tremors after drinking.

N.Y. lawyer, Calif. wine mogul plead guilty in college admissions case
By Travis Andersen Globe Staff ,May 21, 2019, 10:21 a.m.

A prominent lawyer and a California vintner both pleaded guilty Tuesday in connection with the nationwide college admissions cheating scandal that exploded into the headlines in March.
Attorney Gordon Caplan, 52, of Greenwich, Conn., and wine mogul Agustin Francisco Huneeus Jr., 53, of San Francisco, entered their pleas in US District Court in Boston, records show. They're both charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.
The office of US Attorney Andrew E. Lelling confirmed the guilty pleas via Twitter.
Caplan and Huneeus are among the 50 people entangled in the scam, in which wealthy parents cut fat checks to admitted ringleader William "Rick" Singer to have their children falsely presented as athletic recruits at top schools or to facilitate cheating on the SAT and ACT exams.
Caplan, former cochairman of the Manhattan law firm of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, paid $75,000 to a sham charity run by Singer to arrange for a corrupt proctor to correct Caplan's daughter's ACT answers at a West Hollywood test center in December 2018, according to court records.
Caplan said last month in a statement that he takes "full and sole responsibility for my conduct" and that his daughter, "whom I love more than anything in the world, is a high school junior and has not yet applied to college, much less been accepted by any school."
He said his daughter "had no knowledge whatsoever about my actions, has been devastated to learn what I did, and has been hurt the most by it."
Huneeus, meanwhile, paid $100,000 and agreed to pony up an additional $200,000 to pad his daughter's SAT score and have her falsely classified as a water polo recruit at the University of Southern California. The college extended a conditional acceptance letter to her in November 2018, records show.
Authorities are seeking prison time for both defendants, who each face up to 20 years behind bars.
In Caplan's case, the government is seeking "incarceration at the low end of the Guidelines sentencing range," a $40,000 fine, and restitution to be determined by the court, according to his plea agreement.
Prosecutors in Huneeus's case want the wine magnate to spend 15 months in prison, pay a $95,000 fine, and cough up a separate restitution payment in an amount to be determined by the court, his plea deal says.
The website winebusiness.com reported last month that Huneeus had stepped aside from running the family company his father started.
According to the company website, the elder Huneeus and his wife "founded the Quintessa estate in the renowned Rutherford District of Napa Valley in 1990.

Women's Property Initiatives provides new beginnings for women facing homelessness by providing affordable, long-term homes. We believe everyone has the right to a safe and secure home and that women face the greatest barriers to being able to afford one.
Only six per cent of properties in the private rental market are affordable for people on low incomes, of which a disproportionately large number are women. Women have less access to employment, as carers they often have greater limits on their ability to work, and they earn less than men.
Only six per cent of properties in the private rental market are affordable for people on low incomes, of which a disproportionately large number are women.
Women's Property Initiatives currently houses more than 200 women and children across Melbourne, enabling them to rebuild their lives. Rents are no more than 30 per cent of household income and give women the financial capacity to do more than just exist. Through this, we have seen women transform. Many return to work or study, or focus on parenting children who have suffered trauma through the instability of their living situation. They can live with dignity and contribute to their communities.
Many of these women have experienced family violence or are migrants fleeing conflict in their country of origin. Some are older women who have worked their whole lives but can't afford market rents. Others, simply through circumstance, find themselves living with relatives or on a friend's couch. Crisis services and short-term housing are critical in sheltering vulnerable women, but often there is no next step towards a stable future. WPI offers this next step.
However, providing long-term homes for women requires capital, in an environment where philanthropic and government funding is increasingly hard to source. That's why WPI is very focused on finding innovative ways to expand its housing stock and social impact.
That's why WPI is very focused on finding innovative ways to expand its housing stock and social impact.
In 2015, we founded a social enterprise, Property Initiatives Real Estate, to create an income stream that will help provide more homes for vulnerable women. All company profits are returned to WPI to build or acquire housing. Over time, this will enable us to house many more women.
Property Initiatives offers ethical and high quality property management and, in less than two years, we have built a rent roll of 120 properties. Landlords should not see our agency as a compromise. Even though it exists to fund more affordable homes for women and children, the point is to make a profit by delivering property investors the best possible return. However, by simply listing a property with us, they can make their property management fees count and generate positive social impact. It is profit for purpose.
From a start-up position, Property Initiatives is almost at the point of returning a profit to WPI – a real milestone for the business. To achieve this, and because we are so confident people will be satisfied with our service, we are offering three months of free property management for a limited time. Please contact us if you are interested.
We are passionate about the role social enterprise can play in improving communities and addressing social problems; in this case, women's access to secure and affordable housing. Commercially viable businesses that provide employment and exist to benefit the community, rather than shareholders and owners, are a win-win for society.

Additionally, he is the co-editor of No Broken Links, a directory aimed at embodying works by composers from historically underrepresented communities.
Highlighting Thomas' research experience is his role as a Research Analyst for the City of Austin's Cultural Arts Division, curating the 2019 and 2021 World Cities Culture Report. This is a comprehensive report on the culture offered in global world cities, assessing both the supply of and demand for culture, and reporting the thinking of cultural policymakers in those places.

The images that follow were made on the 11.12.2014. I had spotted the dog on the door, the first image in the series, which had caught my eye a few days before. Having taken the image I noticed graffiti on the walls of the buildings where a railway siding passed between them, and it was these images which lead me on into Aladdin's Cabin.
All of the images have come straight out of the camera without any processing other than to size them down to 1200 pixels on the longest side and saved them for the web in sRGB. This is unlike other graffiti images I have published earlier. The earlier ones have all been optimised for the lighting, cropped etc., these however I feel are best presented untouched as it helps to show the scale of the thing and also the feeling and available light in the various halls of the factory.
All images were made handholding the camera, which due to the lighting conditions within the factory interior meant I had to use ISO settings of between 5,000 and 16,200 so I'm rather pleased with the results.
It is really amazing what is to be found behind the facades of some of these old buildings. Naturally access is not allowed so I suppose the taking of the images can be classified as a criminal activity. Not to worry gaining access was a bit like breaking in by numbers. One simply follows the empty aerosol cans of the spray painters. Along the railway lines between the buildings as I mentioned, through the hole in the fence followed by the hole in the wall. Bingo one is confronted by all of this, in many cases, fascinating work.
As mentioned the images have not been edited in any way at all, so please excuse anything offensive that may pop up, nothing really bad though. Seems to go with the genre.
Some of the images may appear to be truncated in this view, never fear, just click and an enlargement should appear.
Be interested in any comments you may have.


The power of a Yelp review to sway hearts is no joke, especially negative ones, which is why businesses have even gone so far as to (unsuccessfully) sue customers who gave them a 1-star review. With that in mind, plastic surgeons and other doctors might do well to pore over a new study of Yelp reviews published Thursday in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery.
The researchers, plastic surgeons themselves, looked at a selection of 200 reviews posted across five major cities, both 1- and 5-star, to see what made patients love or hate their doctors. Around a quarter of all comments, whether as part of a negative or positive review, focused on a doctor's bedside manner, making it the most common reason over how they felt about their actual surgery results. Haters disliked doctors who seemingly didn't care, while others praised their doctors for keeping them calm during a procedure.
Though certainly a limited sample size, the researchers think their findings are especially relevant considering the widespread growing use of Yelp and other review sites by patients.
"The internet has increased word-of-mouth communication so that the reputation of potentially every medical practice is on display for anyone to see," the authors wrote.
Other popular reasons for the patients' reviews included how much knowledge their surgeons seemed to have, with 5-star reviews especially being wowed by them; 22 percent of comments in these reviews focused on that. On the flip-side, negative reviews next most focused on their doc's perceived lack of honesty or otherwise feeling harassed into having more surgeries; 22 percent of comments in these reviews mentioned that theme.
"This reminds us to remain ethical and not pressure patients into procedures they are not looking for," wrote the authors.
Also big on the no-no list? Rude office staff, hefty fees, or lengthy wait times. Meanwhile, the best reviews came from patients who felt their doctors were both amiable and good at their job.
, which is why businesses have even gone so far as to (unsuccessfully) sue customers who gave them a 1-star review. With that in mind, plastic surgeons and other doctors might do well to pore over a new study of Yelp reviews published Thursday in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery.

Teepookana
Boat Owner:
Wooden Boat Guild of Tasmania, Inc
Adrian Dean
The "Franklin"design was based on a 14ft punt formerly owned by retired piner Frank White of Strahan. The original was of unusual in being double-skinned, with a canvas layer between the two layers of planking. According to White there were others with this construction: it is however unclear if they were built this way, or "doubled" in their old age to prolong their lives. In White's punt the inner planking was worn down almost to the canvas interlayer through the regular use of an enamel dish as a bailer. "Franklin" is a conventional clinker-built boat with a fairly robust vertical keel.
Adrian Dean served his apprenticeship as a wooden boatbuilder with Jock Muir of Hobart, and from 1967 worked as a teacher in craftwork and outdoor education as well as a professional designer specialising in sea kayaks. He was a consultant in the design of the sail-training ships Leeuwin and One and All in the 1980s. In 1992 he began working at the Wooden Boat Centre at Franklin, and it was during this time that he designed "Franklin". The name is something of a double-entendre with the region for which the boats were well-known on the West Coast, as well as the region where he now worked (and, coincidentally, around which the type was probably developed). In 1997 he built a much larger punt, the 19ft Princess.
Teepookana (named after the former port at the entrance to the King River east of Strahan) was an early project of the then-recently formed Wooden Boat Guild of Tasmania. She was built to a very high standard, and her keel batten in particular is somewhat thicker than traditional west coast punts. Teepookana has been in continual use as a recreational vessel by the Guild at its events, on display at events such as the Australian Wooden Boat Festival, and on a semi-commercial basis as a film prop.

Rev. J. Bryan Hehir Wins Martin E. Marty Award for the Public Understanding of Religion
by Erik Owens, Boston College, for the Committee on the Public Understanding of Religion
The AAR's Committee on the Public Understanding of Religion is pleased to announce that public theologian Rev. J. Bryan Hehir, of Harvard University and the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, is the 2016 recipient of the Martin E. Marty Award for the Public Understanding of Religion.
Now in its twentieth year, the Marty Award recognizes extraordinary contributions to the public understanding of religion by individuals whose work has a relevance and eloquence that speaks not just to scholars but other "publics" as well.
The Committee honors Father Hehir for his important scholarship on the ethics of statecraft, war, and peace, and for his influential work as a public theologian who for more than forty years has constructively engaged scholars, church leaders, diplomats, elected officials, military leaders, policymakers and social workers on a range of issues at the intersection of religion and public life.
At this year's Marty Forum (session A20-252, Sunday November 20 at 3:00 p.m.), Fr. Hehir will join interlocutor Shaun Casey, Special Representative for Religion and Global Affairs at the US State Department, for an extended public dialogue about his life and work. All Annual Meeting participants are encouraged to attend.
Throughout his career Rev. J. Bryan Hehir has moved seamlessly among his roles as parish priest, professor and policy advisor, while maintaining a remarkable commitment to the public dimensions of his work in all three areas.
Born in 1940 in Lowell, Massachusetts, he was ordained a diocesan priest in 1966 after completing his AB and MDiv at St. John's Seminary in Boston. From 1973 to 1992, he worked on the staff of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), directing (at different times) the Office of International Affairs and the Department of Social and Political Affairs. Hehir was the chief author of the US bishops' 1983 pastoral letter on nuclear weapons, entitled The Challenge of Peace: God's Promise and Our Response, which interpreted Church teachings on the use of force in international conflict in light of the threat of nuclear war. The pastoral letter gained national attention and served as a paradigmatic example of public theology that would be followed by future pastoral letters from the Catholic Church as well as other religious communities in the United States. Hehir received a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship in 1984 in part as recognition for this important work.
Hehir's professional academic career began with his appointment in 1984 as the Joseph P. Kennedy Professor of Ethics at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. Having completed his ThD at Harvard Divinity School in 1977 (while working at the USCCB), he rejoined his colleagues there in 1993 as a professor of the practice in religion and society at Harvard Divinity School. By this time he was recognized as one of the world's foremost experts on just war theory, particularly the challenges presented by terrorism, humanitarian intervention, and nuclear proliferation. In 1998 Hehir was asked to lead the school through a period of turmoil, and he became its first Catholic head—though he declined the title of dean and continued to serve as parish priest at St. Paul's Church in Cambridge.
Amidst his scholarly work, Hehir has also continued to serve the Catholic Church in leadership positions in social policy and service. From 2001 to 2003 he served as President and CEO of Catholic Charities USA, the umbrella organization for more than 1,400 Catholic social-service agencies across the country; in 2003 the new Archbishop of Boston, Sean O'Malley, called him home to lead the archdiocese's robust Catholic Charities organization. He was soon elevated to the position of Secretary for Health Care and Social Services, with responsibility for the archdiocese's work with healthcare, education, poverty, refugee resettlement, and more. He continues to serve as one of (now Cardinal) O'Malley's closest advisors, even after returning to Harvard as the Parker Gilbert Montgomery Professor of the Practice of Religion and Public Life at the Kennedy School of Government.
For more than forty years Bryan Hehir has been among the most prominent and influential voices of American Catholicism, in large part because of his commitment to the public dimension of his academic and ecclesiastical work. He has engaged in long-term working relationships with diplomats, elected officials, military leaders (and cadets), policymakers and social workers on a range of issues at the intersection of religion and public life.
For this important work, and much more, the AAR's Committee on the Public Understanding of Religion is delighted to honor Bryan Hehir with the 2016 Martin Marty Award. We hope you will all join us for the Marty Forum on Sunday, November 20, at 3:00 p.m.

The Great Oklahoma Classic for March 2018 belongs to Raymond and Betty Langley of Newalla Oklahoma. They are charter members of a wonderful Oklahoma Car Club known as the Canadian River Cruisers.
We were able to visit with Ray about his Classic Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria at the Annual Central Tech Auto Show, held yearly in Drumright Oklahoma along with the Central Technology Center's Annual Open House.
Ray's first car was another 1955 Fairlane Crown Victoria which he has always wanted to replace. Ray found the old Ford in an Oklahoma City auto salvage in 2004. It was literally a basket case. He purchased the 55, a parts car and a trailer full of parts.
The work soon began to bring the Fairlane Crown Victoria back to better than new condition.
The excellent paint and body work on the Ford Classic was done by Susan Miller of Pink Oklahoma. As you can this classic Fairlane is straight!
Ray and Betty's son, James, did the rebuild on the Ford 272 cubic inch V8. The Ford specs on the 272 show 162 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.
The 272 V8 is coupled to a three speed standard transmission with column shift.
Ray completed the interior himself by using an interior kit from LeBaron Bonney Custom Auto Interiors.
As you can see, the interior is better than when it left Ford.
The Classic Ford rides on fifteen inch painted blue wheels with the original looking Ford hub caps and of course classic wide white wall tires.
Ray cleaned and polished all of the stainless steel parts, which he brought back to like new condition.
The Cimarron Starlite Cruisers sincerely appreciate Raymond and Betty Langley of Newalla Oklahoma for sharing their 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria as our Great Oklahoma Classic for March 2018!

In 1998, for instance, researchers from the university formed a spin-off company called Carnegie Learning that popularized the math tutor software developed at the university. More recently, in 2013, a company called Acrobatiq was formed to try to bring lessons learned from the Open Learning Initiative to the market.
That, in theory, will allow each campus to focus its energies on what it can do best and turn to outside companies and nonprofits for the rest. You're talking about the LMS project, Sakai ? The campus of the future will be "networked," argues Peter Smith, meaning that more and more academic-related services will be outsourced.
Lots of reporting on various court filings in the Trump University case, particularly those about the company's " playbooks " detailing how former employees sold its course packages, targeting vulnerable populations. " UC Davis suffered a week-long LMS outage , and lots of folks had to weigh in with their thoughts on what this meant about Sakai , running one's own infrastructure , and open source. The company has raised $10.35 Education Politics.


College Party Cruise is a company developed by college students, for college students! We know what it takes to make a Spring Break epic and memorable. As undergraduates, we went on a new cruise every year for Spring Break, building favorable reputations with both cruise companies and local island bar owners alike. In the process, we gathered information on what cruises would provide us and our friends with the most entertainment, best food, most beautiful destinations, and above all else… the craziest parties.
Now, as recent graduates from the University of Central Florida, we want to pass on our years of acquired knowledge to you! We have taken our experiences and fine-tuned a cruise itinerary that will allow for the most exhilarating Spring Break experience. If you decide to cruise with us this year, your Spring Break will not only be the most memorable few days of your college career, but you will reflect on its glory all your life.
One of the key factors in our decision to start this company is the fact that we simply grew tired of hearing our classmates' horror stories about their experiences with other travel agencies and agents. These are companies who just "book and dump" college kids on whatever cruise an agent feels like will give them the most commission. Other agents and agencies are completely out of touch with what it means to be in college and now there is no reason anyone looking for a good Spring Break would ever have to call any of these other companies again.
Whereas other companies spread their focus on trying to sell all types of vacations to all kinds of people throughout the year… College Party Cruise dedicates 100% of its efforts specifically catering to college students on Spring Break.
We take pride in the fact that we personally host our Spring Break voyages. As far as we know, we are the only company who does this. In addition, we host our own private events on the ship featuring amazing up and coming DJs and artists… just for our guests. Since we are coming with you, we are more concerned with having a good time than making a quick buck. That means we would never stick you on a cruise that we wouldn't personally go on ourselves. Having us as your on-board hosts means that one of us will always be within a few hundred feet of you if you should need anything while you are on the ship. We attend all our cruises and make it a goal to form lasting friendships with each and every person who books with us. We want to make sure all of our customers feel like they aren't just embarking on a cruise, but that they are putting their bags down in a second home at sea.
To be honest, we feel like our efforts really shine through every year and it is wonderful to see. You are absolutely going to love how 2,500 students from all walks of life, from dozens of different universities, from every part of our nation, become best friends in just a few days. We can't wait for this year's trip! Hope to meet all of you soon!
College Party Cruise is part of Ignite Cruises, LCC.

We have unfinished business in Utah. As mentioned before, one of our earliest motorcycle trips was a whirlwind 18-day trek from Toronto to San Franciso and back. During that trip, we visiting most of the National Parks in the SW US, but only having a limited amount of time, we spent most of it on the back of the motorcycle, not seeing anything but the park from the side of the road. Arches National Park was a bookmark that we just had to revisit, and this time around, we promised that we wouldn't leave until we'd seen everything.
We made good on that promise, lazing around the park for four days, spending the days hiking the trails around the area, and the nights freezing our butts off inside the tent. The landscape is straight out of a Road Runner cartoon! Other-worldly-shaped orange rocks thrust up out of the ground, some of them precariously balancing larger rocks on small skinny stems - the result of erosion eating away at the softer layers of the sand and rock that history has laid down.
Weather was beautiful during the day, freezing at night, but the night sky was so clear!
One of the things that was very important to us was hiking up to the Delicate Arch, as we didn't have opportunity the last time we were here. It's about an hour uphill hike to a remote spot where the arch can be viewed. There are over 2,000 arches in the park, spanning from a few feet to over a hundred feet in height! Very breathtaking to view.
We arrived in the early afternoon and settled down to wait for the best time to view the Arch - sunset. We were told that that was the magical time that elves and unicorns would emerge from the portal created by the sun's rays hitting the Delicate Arch.
"... and then the Earth cooled..."
Ok, enough hiking and picture-taking, time to do some riding!

Q: jQuery fadeIn() not working with AJAX call Here's my HTML code:

Here's my JS code:
  $(document).ready(function () {
            $('#loading').hide();

            $("#submitSessionBtn").click(function () {
                $('#loading').fadeIn();
                d3.select("svg").remove();

                $.ajax({
                    type: "GET",
                    url: "Home/GetStuff/",
                    dataType: "json",
                    async: false,
                    success: function (result) {
                        console.log("Success!");
                        $('#loading').fadeOut();})

The image is basically a spinner image indicating loading. I want the image to be displayed as soon as I click the submit button and disappear when the AJAX call is done. But, currently it shows up a few seconds before the AJAX call completes and not as soon as the submit button is pressed.
What am I doing wrong?

A: The fadeIn function behaves asynchronously and the code you have immediately below the call will continue to execute before the fadeIn operation is complete.  What you want to do is not run your code until it's complete. To do this, the fadeIn function (as with show, slideDown, etc) takes a function as an optional parameter that it will execute when the operation is complete.  Put your ajax call inside of an anonymous function that you pass to fadeIn.  It would look like this:
$('#loading').fadeIn(function(){
     $.ajax({
                    type: "GET",
                    url: "Home/GetStuff/",
                    dataType: "json",
                    async: false,
                    success: function (result) {
                        console.log("Success!");
                        $('#loading').fadeOut();})
});

A: You do have the $(#loading') tags in the correct positions because only once the ajax call is complete will success be called. I would recommend using just show and hide. I'm sure FadeIn is introducing some gradient color between sequences so it is showing up just can't see it yet. As for disappearing to early that's because some execution is occurring. From my experience it was normal if doing database fetch or some text file reading that maybe a clean up occurred behind the scenes.

Citizen's Voice
CRI Kasauli not a lost cause
drrksood
By: Dr RK Sood
Suspension of drug manufacturing license of CRI Kasauli and the move to convert it into a testing lab seems to be yet another attempt to felicitate privatization in the sector. The government's policies to support globalisation have come as a major setback to domestic institutions, and CRI Kasauli is no exception.
The CRI holds special place in the nation's medical research history. This prestigious institution had celebrated its 100 years of service in 2006. Since its inception, it indulged in high-level research in the field of vaccines and medicines. The institute has been famous for production of anti-sanke venom medicine, anti-rabies injection, anti-tetanus vaccine, yellow fever vaccine, Japanese encephalitis and many other important medicines. On January 24, the Drug Controller of Himachal Pradesh issued an order to stop production of medicines in the institute saying that he had received a letter from the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) with information that the production license of CRI has been suspended. It is obvious that now the huge market of vaccines of DPT, typhoid and yellow fever, etc in the country would fall in the hands of MNCs.
I came to learn through personal communication with a senior staff of CRI that tissue culture vaccine production was coming up soon at the institute. If CRI was allowed to come up with this vaccine, the price of anti-rabies vaccine in the market would have come down drastically. Who knows, toppling the CRI could be a conspiracy by MNCs and influential drug companies to retain their market monopoly.
The licensing authority had raised questions on the basic infrastructure at CRI and had observed that it was not up to the mark as per good manufacturing practice (GMP). However, there is nothing wrong with the vaccines themselves.
It is learnt that the institute had already urged the Centre to provide at least Rs 35 crore for upgrading the lab, which possibly fell on deaf ears. So, who is the guinea pig to blame for the decay of these institutes? All said and done, rather than playing the blame game, it would be better if the government makes efforts to revive the institute to ensured self-sufficiency in vaccine manufacturing in the country.
Killing the public sector is not the way out to take the country on the path of development. There is lot of talent in these institutions. It is sheer lack of political will, adequate infrastructure and inappropriate environment that causes these institutions to rot. Neglecting the public sector leads to brain drain, and the talent in these institutions slowly move abroad after experiencing frustration in the system. The scientists who will leave these institutes on account of this dilly dallying will definitely find a better career in MNCs and abroad.
Let us all petition the government to commit resources for the research institutes that has been safeguarding our health for over a century. Jan Swasthya Abhiyan, HP, has warned the government to realize the gravity of the situation at this juncture. The government should constitute a high-powered committee with adequate financial powers and expertise to ensure that GMP norms are met by the institutes and licensing is granted within three months.

N340KA
Charter (Non Scheduled Revenue Flight)
Patricia Bay-Dodge Channel
Dodge Channel
The Sound Flight DHC-2 float-equipped Beaver aircraft, N340KA, flew from Patricia Bay to Dodger Channel where the pilot planned to land. He set up an approach to land to the south in Dodger Channel, into the wind. On short final, the pilot noticed a shoal so he decided to overshoot, make a circuit, and land beyond the shoal. He applied power, established a climb and began a left turn. As the aircraft turned, it came into the lee of Diana Island. The aircraft encountered subsiding air and began to descend. The pilot was unable to arrest the descent. The aircraft struck the water and sank. All six occupants escaped without any injury but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Walt Siegl Motorcycles
The PACT
"Walt Siegl stuns with an electric PACT. He has once again added a chapter to his ongoing book, entitled two-wheeled perfection."
Asphalt & Rubber
"This Custom Alta Is The Future Of Electric Motorcycles."
Ride Apart
"There is no better urban commuting bike I have ridden."
Pact owner
Designed in collaboration with industrial designer, Mike Mayberry, as an urban Enduro, the WSM PACT is agile in the inner city and powerful enough to hold momentum on open roads, track or gravel, depending on your tire choice.
The PACT is a limited series of 8 motorcycles only, hand built to order by Walt, to your specs and terrain preferences.
"Mike Mayberry contacted me several years ago to commission a Bol d'Or. Soon after, he placed an order for a Leggero, and since I involve my clients in the decision making about their builds, I got a chance to get to know him and found we have a lot in common. Mike is the founder of Ronin Motorcycles, which in my opinion represents the quintessential all American performance bike.
During a visit to his workshop in Denver, I had the chance to ride several electric motorcycles he owns. I was so impressed by the sensation, I decided that my next design challenge was an electric bike. I had already been thinking about building something smaller, something that represents the future, something with two wheels that many people have access to, even without a motorcycle license; maybe a moped or a scooter, something relatively affordable. Even before I test rode Mike's electric bikes, I had been interested in the e-motorcycle challenge: to create a machine that is devoid of all the familiar components that make up a combustion engine motorcycle.
Mike Mayberry is an industrial designer and I greatly admire his talent. I've enjoyed many conversations with him about design in general, and how it effects people, about motorcycle design, the motorcycle industry, and the future of two wheel transportation. I recognized in him the same urge to search for the right answers for good design by getting out of your comfort zone, and then when you arrive at that edge, making a better informed decision about what is best for the project. He also happens to be an absolute wiz with mechanical computer programs. Since I wanted to embrace the most current technology in designing an electric motorcycle, I asked him if he'd be interested in collaborating with me.
We thought it might be smarter to start with a donor bike, since we're both very opinionated as designers, and we needed to see if we could work together long term before diving headlong into a ground up project that would include the development of a battery pack and an electric motor.
Using ALTA as the donor for its battery pack and sophisticated hardware/software was an obvious choice since ALTA achieved great success over the years as an electric bike company that was truly competitive against race bikes with combustion engines.
Both of us saw this as a possibility to design an electric bike that we would both want to own: An urban Enduro.
The key design decision that we made was to fully embrace the battery pack as the power source for the bike, instead of hiding it. We wanted to celebrate the essentials of the electric motorcycle. Mike and I agreed that our design aesthetic would resist the impulse to create novelty, designing something honest, user-friendly and durable, while using as few components as possible. So there is no mis-understanding of what this machine has been designed for: pure business. From the get go I wanted to design a modern looking machine, that is visually understood as E-Powered.
The key performance decisions: It had to be as light as possible, but stand up to rigorous use. It had to have precise handling and the correct ergonomics for optimum performance. We changed the dirt bike geometries by designing our own chrome moly frame, so Ohlins road bike forks could be used. We designed a structural carbon fiber subframe and carbon fiber bodywork. For the prototype standard woven carbon fiber sheets were used. For the remaining 8 bikes that are being built, the woven carbon fiber parts are being replaced with forged carbon components. This material not only lends the bike a modern feel, but it is also very strong.
In addition to the carbon fiber bodywork and frame, we also designed and produced triple trees, taillight, wheels, foot controls, and a new swing arm that helps achieve the geometries and handling that we were after. Plugs for the carbon fiber molds were machined out of urethane. Some of the components were 3D printed to check fitment and then turned into useable parts.
I think that electric bikes have a strong future. Young people especially embrace the romance and fun of traveling on two wheels. Newcomers to two wheels don't have the reference to combustion engines, therefore they won't miss them.
E-power distills the riding experience. There is no sound other than the wind, which kind of translates to "I'm moving." It's the next best thing to flying. I feel like I enjoy riding even more because it happens in the silence. You're not preoccupied by anything else but forward motion. Because of that it feels awesome. I feel like it even has the potential to make me a better rider, because I can fully concentrate on what the bike does underneath me. I think all of us wool and dyed motorcycle riders should at least try an e-power bike once, to form our own opinion. I'm fully aware that electric powered technology is not the final answer to our planet's pollution problems, but I see it at least as a step in the right direction. We should all be coming together to help support the advancement of clean technology in whatever way we can."
