Jan Eisenloeffel: From sober utensil to unique luxury product
Jan Eisenloeffel (1876 – 1957) was a leading artist within the field of the applied arts. He is considered one of the most prominent Dutch designers of the early 20th century. Together with H.P. Berlage, Chris Lebeau and Jac. van den Bosch, he has been characteristic for the 'constructivist direction' within the Nieuwe Kunst, the Dutch version of Art Nouveau. But his influence was not limited to The Netherlands, his works were also exhibited and admired abroad.
Eisenloeffel followed his education at the Rijks Normaalschool voor Teekenonderwijzers in Amsterdam. In addition, he worked at the studio of Hoeker & Zoon, one of the most important silver- and jewelry companies in Amsterdam at the time. Here, Eisenloeffel could develop himself during his early years. Moreover, they gave him the opportunity to visit Russia for several months in order to acquire knowledge about enameling- and niello techniques. In Russia he visited the workshop of famous goldsmith Peter Carl Fabergé, but he was kicked out after describing the works as 'suikerbakkerswerk' ('confectioner's work'). Besides the technical developments, Eisenloeffel was also inspired by artworks in Russian museums. Especially the Greek jewelry and Eastern artworks that were on view here have been a source of inspiration during his career.
In Russia, Eisenloeffel witnessed the division between the rich and the poor. He saw luxury products being designed for a small group of privileged people, while the biggest part of the Russian population lived in poverty. This made Eisenloeffel realize that he wanted to do it differently. His work had to be accessible for the 'common' people. This resulted in designs that were aesthetically sound and could be produced in series. After his return from Russia, Eisenloeffel went back to work at Hoeker & Zoon, where he created the sober objects that made him famous. He stopped working here in 1902. Afterwards he was employed at different workshops, where he used noble as well as base metals. This was in line with his desire to make daily utensils available for a large audience, but still with a modern design. This copper milk jug is an example of his early work.
The sober decorations of Eisenloeffel's metal utensils also became popular abroad, especially in Germany. In 1908 he went to Munich to work at the 'Vereinigte Werkstätten für Kunst im Handwerk'. Here he hoped to realize his ideal to create affordable products for a large audience. This was hard to achieve in the Netherlands because his objects were still too expensive due to high production costs. Also, a growing amount of cheaper imitations of his works came on the market. But this was no better in Germany, which led Eisenloeffel to return to the Netherlands later the same year. This unfortunate adventure led to a turn in the career of Eisenloeffel. He started to design unique, abundantly decorated objects, which he manufactured at his own workshop. This was a remarkable twist in the oeuvre of Eisenloeffel. He created these works for individuals, the government, church associations and socialist organizations.
Bronze vase
An example of this later work can be found in the sales collection of Kunstconsult. The depicted bronze vase was made in the workshop of Eisenloeffel in Amsterdam. On July 8th, 1915 the 'N.V. Jan Eisenloeffel's Kunstnijverheid' was officially established. The focus was on objects that were made on request. These unique works were mostly decorated with enamel champlevé or plique-à-jour. The vase in the collection of Kunstconsult is characteristic for Eisenloeffel. It is decorated with four enamel medallions and geometric enamel bands. For these decorations Eisenloeffel used the champlevé-technique, in which the cells that are to be filled with enamel are carved out.
Loving Cup
The Drents Museum in Assen bought this special 'Loving Cup' at Kunstconsult, a unique piece in the oeuvre of Eisenloeffel. In England there is the Loving Cup, in France the Coupe de Marriage: a big cup to drink from together during weddings and banquets. The use of the cup symbolizes love, friendship and unity. Eisenloeffel produced the goblet in 1924 for the textile manufacturer Johannes Leonard Lodewijk Tilanus, an in-law of Eisenloeffel. He made the goblet to commemorate the 50th wedding anniversary of Tilanus and his wife. When the cup is rotated, a line from Vondel's famous poem 'Gijsbrecht van Aemstel' can be deciphered: 'Waer werd oprechter trouw dan tusschen man en vrouw ter wereld oyt gevonden' ('Where in the world has truer fidelity ever been found than between husband and wife'). The goblet is an exceptional piece in the oeuvre of Eisenloeffel. However, as far as the use of the enameling technique and the ornament is concerned, this piece is Eisenloeffel through and through and fits perfectly within his oeuvre of these years.

As a business owner, it can be tricky to decide where your priorities should lie. At the end of the day, you need sales which lead to greater profits which you can then reinvest in the business. It can be hard to find the time or inclination to focus on providing exceptional customer service. However, the two go hand in hand. If you're able to provide a satisfying and positive experience for your customer, you will be able to secure repeat business, free word of mouth marketing and exceptional reviews online, thus drawing more custom your way. Take a look at these innovative ways to ensure that your customers remain satisfied.
This common edict should be what every business leader lives by. Think about when you order a product online to be informed that it will be delivered within 72 hours. Imagine your surprise and delight when you receive it two days later ahead of schedule. The chances are that the company you purchased from knew the timescale from your point of order but chose to add on those extra 24 hours to create the illusion of over delivering. This is a useful tactic when ensuring exceptional customer service.
If you are a company that provides a service be it a boutique salon or a chiropractor, you could make the process of securing your services simpler and more efficient for your clientele. Consider implementing an online appointment booker, so your customers no longer have to pick up the phone and talk to you directly. This not only means that your customers can book appointments outside of working hours, but it also frees you up, so you are dealing with fewer telephone enquiries during the day.
Loyalty schemes are fantastic ways of ensuring repeat business. Setting up a transparent system so your client can see the progress they are making towards claiming rewards motivates them to continue providing you with their custom. If a parent of a newborn is purchasing a product with a relatively short shelf life from you such as a babygro, ensure that you reward them with a free item of clothing for every dozen they purchase. The customer feels like they are getting a good deal and you have secure orders.
It can be hard in the fast-paced world of business to develop a relationship with your customer base. You don't need to know every single client by name or know their favourite colour, but it pays to send them an email once in a while to update them with your latest products and promotions. Direct them to your company blog full of high quality content and encourage them to leave comments. Maintain active social media feeds and respond to any comments or suggestions you might receive.
Providing exceptional customer service means that you maximize your potential to secure repeat business. Enhancing the customer experience can lead to an increase in clientele, an increase in orders, an increase in revenue and an increase in those all-important profits.

BIRTHDATE: 11/8/99
POSITION: Small Forward
SCHOOL/ TEAM: Skyliners Frankfurt
Size & Length - Excellent size for a point guard/ forward at 6'9"
Court vision - Displays good court vision and passing instincts to be so young; Uses his size to see over the defenses
Potential - Only 17 years old and still really raw. Has a great set of tools to work with
Versatility - Can play the 1 on offense and defend wing position
Pick & Roll - Good understanding and poise in pick & roll
Defensive potential - Has tools to eventually become an strong defender with his size and length
Scoring - Not much of a scorer at this point in his career, Teams dare him to shoot, does not have an offensive bread & butter or finishing strong
Creativity - Lacks creativity as a scorer, basic handles does not have ability to create for himself with out a screen
Shooting - Poor but improving shooter
Turnover prone - For every great pass he throws, there's a pass that will end up in the stands. Tendency to force passes in tight spaces
Explosiveness - Good athlete but lacks explosive burst to make plays above the rim. Doesn't have great first step
Strength - Physically weak, but thats due to age. Still only 17
Finishing - Struggles finishing in traffic and lack of strength leads to spending a lot of time on floor after attacking basket
Isaac Bonga is a 6'9 point forward out of Germany with a nice base of skills and potential that could lead to him being selected in 2018 NBA draft. At this point in his career, (only 17 years old) Bonga's greatest asset is his passing ability and his long term potential. He's a good, but not great, fluid athlete who is fast in the open court in transition. As he gets stronger he could be a weapon that puts pressure on defenses with his ability to grab rebounds and pass the ball ahead. Offensively, he's still really raw and struggles scoring in the half court. While he has a good handle at 6'9", he lacks the creativity and advanced ball handling moves to get in the lane to create for himself or others. When he does get into the paint he struggles finishing in traffic due to his lack of strength and explosiveness.
Off the ball Bonga really struggles because he's not a good off the ball cutter and teams dare him to shoot. Bonga shot only 8% (1 for 12) from 3 at the 2017 FIBA Under 19's and only 34% overall. He has a tendency to clog up the offense when he doesn't have the ball and when he drives to the rim he's not looking to score. This leads to wild layup attempts because the defense knows he does not want to shoot. Personally I thought he under performed and struggled taking care of the ball (23 assists and 21 turnovers) even though the competition were mostly 2 years older.
Overall, I looking forward to seeing how Bonga progresses this season playing for the Fraport Skyliners in Germany's top league. I love his potential and tools, but I'm curious to see if he can add another skill to his passing ability. Early in the 2017-18 season he's been able to make 3's and keep defenses honest which is a good sign. I think he's need to improve on his handle, shooting and add a mid range pull up and floater to his game. He's unselfish to a fault which is not a bad base line to start with, now its just a matter of becoming more confident on the offensive end.

Volusia County Mosquito Control orders MD520N
5-Mar-2015 Source: MD Helicopters
MD Helicopters, Inc. (MDHI) announced today a contract with Volusia County Mosquito Control, Volusia County, Florida, to manufacture and deliver a new MD 520N helicopter. The new MD 520N will join the Mosquito Control Unit's two MD 500E helicopters to expand the department's ability to inspect and treat the region's wet and dry lands not serviceable by trucks or other ground methods.
In the mid-1960s, Volusia County Mosquito Control was one of the first mosquito control agencies in the nation to augment the use of fixed-wing aircraft with helicopters to improve both spraying and follow-up site assessment.
"Volusia County has been a valued member of the MD Helicopters family of operators for nearly 25 years. I am extremely proud they have chosen to enhance their mosquito control capabilities with the addition of a new 520N," said Lynn Tilton, Chief Executive Officer for MD Helicopters, Inc. "The MD-exclusive NOTAR® system makes the 520N a perfect solution for utility missions like this; delivering safer, quieter operations over swampy or overgrown areas as well as in confined or heavily populated spaces. I'm sure the citizens of Volusia County will appreciate the lower noise profile as well!"
The Volusia County MD 520N will feature a 450-shp Rolls-Royce 250-C20R/2 turbine engine, a Garmin G500H EFIS all-glass avionics flight display, Garmin GTN 650H GPS, NVG compatible interior lighting, Super Nightscanner® Retractable Searchlight, a 2,000 lb. cargo hook, auxiliary fuel tank and wire strike protection system among other standard and custom features.
The MD 520N is one of just three helicopters – all manufactured by MD Helicopters, Inc. – that feature the exclusive NOTAR® system for anti-torque and directional control. By replacing conventional tail rotors with the NOTAR system, the margin of safety immediately increases for crew and aircraft, and the noise decreases; making it an exceptional choice for operation in confined and densely populated areas.
MD Helicopters will deliver the new, custom-configured MD 520N in Spring 2015.

EXCERPT FROM THE AIR I BREATHE! (CAUTION BRING ICE AND A FAN…JACK IS HOT) !
This takes place at a USO dance in Long Binh, Vietnam. Libby suspects she's being hunted…and she's right.
She turned and there he was. The song kicked over and captured her current situation in spades with the lines from Sam the Sham and the Pharohs' Lil' Red Ridin' Hood. If she could remember how, she'd laugh at the irony.
She'd only seen him for a few minutes on an airfield, and he looked like he'd swallowed sour grapes when she smiled at him, but here he was, his six-foot four frame parting the crowd swifter than Moses ever parted the Red Sea. He didn't look particularly happy to see her. No, he looked…hungry. Every part of her being reacted. Her stomach tightened, and her skin heated to a temperature she was sure wasn't healthy. Her heart thundered like incoming missiles, and she had the irrational need to rip off her clothes and rid her now oversensitive skinof the scratchy, heavy material.
Lord, his eyes glowed an almost feral yellow and pinned her to her spot, challenging her to run at the same time his smile said he'd be thrilled with the hunt if she did. Unlike the squared away sailors, his midnight black hair ran to shaggy and unkempt. An olive green t-shirt and jacket stretched over sinewy muscle, but instead of camo bottoms black Levi's hugged muscled thighs.
He wasn't going to ask her to dance.
She ran her tongue over parched lips, and with a grunt, he was there, his mouth hot and hungry over hers, devouring her. Oh God, it was so good. When strong fingers dug into her bottom and brought her flush against him, she felt him hard and ready. Libby roped her arms around his neck and held on tight. His tongue swept her bottom lip, and she opened for him, moaning when his tongue tangled with hers in a slow, easy manner. He tasted of cigar, whiskey and the awful punch they served, but somehow, mixed with his unique flavor it was nectar of the gods.
In the humid heat surrounding them, she heard raised voices demanding this man let her go. When his lips parted from hers she whispered, "Don't let me go."
With a smile that said he owned her, he claimed her mouth again and dug those fingers deeper into the soft flesh of her buttocks until she was sure she'd be branded inside and out.
She'd let a few boys kiss her and even fewer touch her like this, but she'd never surrendered herself to any man. Never wanted to until right now when she ached for this man to fill her and take what was his.
Then, with a jolt, he was ripped from her. "Fuck! Knock it off, Cowboy."
"Get your goddamn hands off me, Hunter, or lose 'em."
The other man, dressed similar to her SEAL, raised his hands in surrender. "It's your ass, Cowboy. Here comes the Captain."
The mist lifted from Libby's mind and her senses returned one by one. She pressed two fingers to her swollen lips, his taste still filling her mouth. Her gaze swung from one man to the next and then rested on the one called Cowboy as she tugged hem of her mini-dress in place.
She opened her mouth, but shut it when he turned eyes now settled to a shade like warm caramel on her. "Your name?"
There was urgency in his question and she gazed behind him to see an older man plowing through the crowd toward them. She grabbed his hand in hers like she could anchor him there. "Libby."
"Libby?"
"Libby Boden."
With a sharp nod, he pressed his lips hard against hers and held her forehead against his. "Jack Kerr. And I'm gonna finish this someday, Libby Boden."

Ursus van Solothurn was een 3e-eeuws Romeinse christen, die vereerd wordt als een heilige. Hij is de beschermheilige van de belangrijkste rooms-katholieke kerk in de Zwitserse stad Solothurn, waar zijn stoffelijke resten worden bewaard. Hij werd al heel vroeg, bijvoorbeeld in het Romeinse martelaarsboek, geassocieerd met het Thebaanse Legioen en Victor van Solothurn.

Het Leven van Ursus werd in de 5e eeuw geschreven door Eucherius van Lyon. Eucherius vertelt dat Ursus rond 286 werd gemarteld en onthoofd ten tijde van keizer Maximianus en de gouverneur Hyrtacus omdat hij weigerde de afgoden te aanbidden.

Verering
De eerste aan Ursus in Solothurn gewijde kerk werd waarschijnlijk gebouwd nadat de stoffelijke resten van Victor in de late 5e eeuw naar Genève werden overgebracht. Zijn relikwieën worden in kerken in heel Zwitserland getoond, en zijn kist werd gevonden in 1519.

The Lord Jesus now continued on His way to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover where He would give His life. His disciples were with Him and a great crowd followed because He was already famous.
He passed through Jericho, at that time the largest city in Judea after Jerusalem, and some twenty-five miles away to the northeast of this city in the plain of the Jordan River. Joshua destroyed this town when the people of Israel entered into the Promised Land, and the Lord cursed whoever rebuilt it. (Joshua 6:20, 21 and 26).
Hiel, of Bethel, rebuilt it during the reign of Ahab. Because of the curse, he lost two sons in the construction (1 Kings 16:34), and the town frequently appears in biblical accounts.
In Jericho, two blind men on the way heard the crowd movement and were informed that they were following Jesus of Nazareth to Jerusalem. The evangelists Mark and Luke report what happened in more detail concerning one of the blind men, called son of Timaeus (Bartimaeus).
According to Luke, Timaeus was sitting on the edge of the road as the Lord approached Jericho, but Mark said it was when he was out of town, as reported Matthew. This slight discrepancy is explained by the translation from Greek as "went closer", which can also mean "passing by", which agrees with the other two.
It is remarkable that the blind men cried "Jesus, son of David, have mercy on us!" They knew His genealogy and so found that He was a descendant of King David, from whom they awaited the Messiah according to the prophecies. His fame as one who healed all illnesses had already been told to them, and their faith was such that they clamoured for him to have mercy on them, in spite of being reprimanded by the people.
The Lord heard their cry, and ordered them to be brought into his presence. When they arrived, he asked them what they wanted from Him.
He already knew, but wanted them to make the request. This again illustrates the fact that God knows what we want, but wants us to ask for it in our prayers. In doing so we recognize our dependence on Him for the supply of our needs: "... give us this day our daily bread …".
After they made the request, He showed His compassion and gave them their sight. We can imagine the joy of those poor men, who not only could now see but also no longer needed to beg for their bread. They showed their gratitude by following the Lord and Luke tells us that they glorified God, which the people saw and led them also to give praise to God.
As they approached Jerusalem, the Lord Jesus prepared to enter the city with all those people. It was a solemn moment, prophetic, and of such relevance that all four evangelists report it as they had witnessed it, or, in the case of Luke, learned from witnesses who were there.
Shortly after the birth of Christ, wise men had come from the East calling the newborn child King of the Jews (Chapter 2:2). King Herod was dismayed, and searched to kill Him. Now, at the end of His ministry, Jesus the Messiah, heir to the throne of King David, again was introduced as the King of the Jews. He publicly offered Himself on this occasion as their King, escorted by a jubilant crowd, which in this way challenged the ruling Sanhedrin.
The Lord knew that His time was coming, and prepared to deliver Himself to the people. When He previously came to Jerusalem, it had been His procedure to enter through the "door of the sheep", without standing out and avoiding publicity. However, this time He entered as the King He was, in the manner in which the Scriptures stated that He would go in, "… He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey" (Zechariah 9: 9). The very people who accompanied Him would make the proclamation.
They were on the Mount of Olives, at the entrance of a village called Bethpage (green fig house) next to Bethany (house of dates). The Lord sent two disciples to enter the village and borrow a donkey and its colt, which they would find there.
Mark and Luke mention only the colt, which no one had yet mounted, because it was what the Lord mounted. There were very few horses in Judea at that time, and they were mainly used in wars. Riding a donkey, a donkey colt or a mule was an act worthy of kings and princes in peacetime (i.e. Judges 10:4; 12:14; 1 Samuel 25:20, 1 Kings 1:33), and did not symbolize humility as some people think.
Once those two returned with the colt, the disciples covered it with their clothes, the Lord Jesus sat down on it, and so they continued on the road to Jerusalem.
The initial crowd had been increased by the inhabitants of Bethany, where shortly before the Lord Jesus had resurrected Lazarus (John 12:17-18). They went ahead and behind the parade, everyone was jubilant and put their garments and branches from the trees in the fields on the road where He was going.
To put palm branches in the way was a triumphal homage paid at that time to victorious generals or kings (see Revelation 7:9). In those days there were palm trees on the Mount of Olives (Mark 11:8) on the roadside between Bethany and Jerusalem. The people would have cut their branches to acclaim their King.
With growing enthusiasm, they exclaimed: "Hosanna to the son of David; blessed is the kingdom of our father David, blessed is the King of Israel who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna, peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!" (verse 9, Mark 11:9,10, Luke 19:38 and John 12:13).
We find similar words in Psalm 118:25 and 26. "Hosanna" was a word often used as acclaim in the feast of Tabernacles, and means "save us now", and "save us, we implore".
They barely knew how soon their salvation was coming. Not the political salvation from the Romans which they envisioned, but salvation of their souls from the penalty of sin through the vicarious death which Jesus Christ would be submitting to, at the time when the symbolic feast of the Passover was celebrated by them. This was much more important than the independence of the nation of the Jews, and would reach the entire world for many centuries, up to our days.
In due course, He will also return to save the nation of Israel on a second coming into this world, as also predicted in many prophecies concerning its restoration.
The people hailed Him as the King of Israel, son of David. He was legally the heir to the throne of this king, who had reigned over the twelve tribes of Israel a thousand years before then, and God had promised that the throne would be His forever (2 Samuel 7:16).
Upon entering Jerusalem, the entire city was agitated and great was the uproar when the word spread that He who was being acclaimed was "Jesus the Prophet of Nazareth of Galilee". John tells us in his Gospel that the Pharisees, His enemies, were discouraged and said among themselves, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!"
Obviously, Jesus Christ, with all His power, even over death as witnessed by those who were present at the resurrection of Lazarus, could at that time have won the crown for Himself without first going through the cross. The people were with Him and it was His by right.
However, if He had gone immediately to take the crown, and were the King of the world today, we could never have been saved. For this, He had to suffer and die on the cross first.
This was therefore a short moment of triumph before His death. It was not actually His triumphal entry, although traditionally it receives that name. The true triumphal entrance is yet to take place, when He enters the city as King of kings and Lord of lords.
Mat 20:29 Now as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.
2 saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me.
3 And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and immediately he will send them."
5 "TELL THE DAUGHTER OF ZION, 'BEHOLD, YOUR KING IS COMING TO YOU, LOWLY, AND SITTING ON A DONKEY, A COLT, THE FOAL OF A DONKEY.' "
6 So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them.
7 They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them.
8 And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
9 Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: "Hosanna to the Son of David! 'BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!' Hosanna in the highest!"
11 So the multitudes said, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee."

Franklin County commissioners withdraw support for NECEC project
Commissioners said they were frustrated with the permitting process and that their decision was not influenced by a complaint presented Tuesday about a flyer distributed by CMP in Farmington.
FARMINGTON — Franklin County commissioners voted Tuesday to revoke support for a proposed transmission line through western Maine after expressing concerns about the permitting process for New England Clean Energy Connect and hearing a complaint about a flyer encouraging Farmington residents to support the project.
"I know back in October we supported this (Central Maine Power) line, but I think a lot of towns are now removing that support or staying neutral," said District 1 Commissioner Terry Brann.

"We've found out there was a lot of money offered in Massachusetts and Vermont, but nothing in Maine; so unless CMP comes up with another angle, I personally would like to withdraw our support and just stay neutral."
District 2 Commissioner Charlie Webster and District 3 Commissioner Clyde Barker also voted to rescind support, making the commission the latest entity to do that or oppose the project.
Others include Jackman, Moose River, West Forks, The Forks, Caratunk, Embden, Wilton and Alna.
The decision Tuesday came after commissioners were presented with an email from the Greater Franklin Development Council in which Executive Director Charlie Woodworth said a flyer recently distributed by Central Maine Power was misleading and contained a statement attributed to GFDC that it did not write.
The flyer, which was distributed to Farmington residents over the weekend and states it was paid for by NECEC, encourages them to vote in support of the project Monday at Town Meeting.
"Facts and statements noted on this flyer are intentionally misleading," Woodworth wrote in the email, which was read aloud at Tuesday's meeting. "The author of this flyer has written statements and assigned organization names to these statements inferring that the listed organizations actually made these statements. This is not the case."
Woodworth, who was not at Tuesday's meeting, did not respond to a phone call or email seeking comment.
A letter written on GFDC letterhead by its previous executive director, Alison Hagerstrom, in July 2017 and posted on the NECEC website does contain the language used in the flyer. John Carroll, a spokesman for CMP, said that letter was the source of the information on the flyer.
"Looking at the (email) from Mr. Woodworth, we are distressed he would take that position without even maybe taking the time to call us and ask where that quote came from, because it is in fact a quote from a letter provided by the economic development commission," Carroll said.
He also said it's concerning commissioners might have revoked their support for the project based at least in part on Woodworth's complaint, though Webster said later in the day Tuesday that wasn't the case.
"The flyer didn't do it at all," Webster said. "What happened was when they came to us, we weren't aware when we gave (support) that they were willing to support the state financially or the county financially. It's probably our own fault. If we had known at the time we had an opportunity to lower electricity rates or something, we might have had a different opinion."
Last month, Gov. Janet Mills threw her support behind the controversial project after CMP announced plans to offer $258 million in benefits over 40 years, including $5 million for economic development in Franklin County, $1 million in scholarships at the University of Maine at Farmington and $4 million for vocational schools, scholarships and mathematics and science training in Franklin and Somerset counties.
But Webster said it would have been preferable for CMP to offer lower rates for electricity ratepayers in Maine in exchange for the project being built.
"I don't like $1 million for this group, $500,000 for another group," he said. "That's just buying off folks. To me, if we think it's good public policy to lower rates for everyone in exchange for this coming through the state, that's the only way to do it."
Sandra Howard, a spokeswoman for the group Say NO to NECEC, which opposes the project, praised commissioners' decision in an email Tuesday.
"They did exactly what elected officials should do: they looked at all the information about how bad this corridor would be, they listened to their voters' overwhelming opposition to the corridor, and they decided that the corridor is a bad deal for Maine," Howard wrote. "I urge all of our members to thank the commissioners for making a good decision that will help protect Maine's environment and economy for generations to come."
Like Webster, Brann said the flyer didn't have anything to do with his decision to retract his support. Despite some significant benefits to the area — the town of Farmington is expected to receive $436,183 in new annual tax payments from the project — Brann said he's heard from many people who are opposed.
"I haven't had one person come to me and say this is a good deal for Franklin County," he said. "So many citizens are opposed."
Residents in Farmington are scheduled to vote Monday to authorize the Board of Selectmen to send a letter to the Maine Public Utilities Commission stating whether they support, don't support or have no position on the project.
So-called "intervenors" in the case, which have been approved by the Maine Public Utilities Commission as being directly affected by the project, have the right to file letters or the results of votes to be considered by the agency as it makes a decision on permitting. Both the Franklin County commissioners and town of Farmington are intervenors.
However, Harry Lanphear, a spokesman for the PUC, said there's no guarantee that if a town or other entity votes to support or not support the project, it will have the final say on whether it's built in that community.
"Any input we get will certainly be considered by the commission," Lanphear said, adding that others who are not intervenors can submit public comments that will be considered in an overall decision. "But there's no guarantee of what might happen."
In other news Tuesday, commissioners also held off on making a payment of $6,250 to Western Maine Community Action, saying they wanted to see more proof the county payment would be used to leverage new funds.
In a letter to commissioners March 7, WMCA Housing Program Manager Bill Crandall said that from July 1 to Dec. 31, county funds were used in combination with Maine State Housing Authority funds to support the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.
Crandall also wrote county money was used to assist seniors with buying supplemental groceries and obtaining community energy funds for families in need.
"I find this really misleading," Webster said of the letter. "They came here and told us they use the (county) money for salaries. Now they are suggesting without our support they wouldn't be getting LIHEAP. I find this very misleading and have a problem with the whole approach. I'm not supporting it."
The commission took no action on the request for payment — which is budgeted for in the county budget — and will be asking Crandall to come speak with them at the next meeting.
Finally, commissioners also approved promoting two part-time employees at the Franklin County Detention Center to fill two full-time vacancies and had preliminary discussions about raises for non-union employees in the 2019-2020 budget.
Webster said he doesn't think it's right for county employees to expect a raise every year, and the county already offers better wages and benefits than the private sector.
"It's just a lot of money," he said. "Go to all these factories that are closing. There are a lot of people who don't have a job. We should have some compassion I think (for the taxpayer). The non-union employees here receive higher wages and benefits than most people who live in this county."
There are currently about 40 non-union workers employed by the county, a number that also includes part-time and stipend employees.
"We shoulder everything," said Susan Black, the registrar of deeds. "The non-union people always shoulder it. Why is it on the non-union employees so the little old lady who lives in a trailer, her taxes don't go up?"
Commissioners voted 2-1 to approve a 2 percent raise for non-union employees, though that number could change as budget discussions proceed. Barker was against that number and had earlier made a motion for 3 percent.

Not one, not two, but three days without racing at the Dragon Gold Cup
To lose two consecutive days of racing at a major sailing championship may be regarded as a misfortune . . . to lose three looks like a disaster.
But sadly that is now the case for the Dragon Gold Cup 2021 by Yanmar, being hosted this week by the Marstrands Segelsällskap and Göteborgs Kungliga Segelsällskap.
With three days completed and three to come this is the mid point in a championship that requires a minimum of four races to be completed for the result to be valid.
With championship rules calling for very long courses and a maximum of two races per day, the pressure is now on to achieve a valid event and race at least four races in the remaining three days.
But Dragon sailors are by nature a resilient and optimistic bunch and the hugely experienced Marstrand race management team is determined to do everything in its power to achieve at least the minimum four races needed.
To this end the first signal for racing on day four will be at 09:00, so a very early start for everyone lies ahead.
The forecast currently anticipates sailable winds earlier in the day which are due to increase through the afternoon and the committee wants to get everyone afloat early in the hope that they can run two decent full length Gold Cup worthy races before the wind increases too much.
Apologies to Mr Wilde

Splashed across the headlines this week is the sad news of the death of Sudan, the last Northern White Rhino. Sudan's death leaves only two females of the species. It is hoped that IVF can be used to continue his legacy.
As so often, this near-extinction has hit the headlines because the rhino is an iconic species. This is both a blessing and a curse. Rhinos, like elephants, are targets of poachers and trophy hunters alike. Last week we re-published a blog post by Anais Heurtier about the controversial and troubling topic of legal trophy hunting. While being a target of poachers is obviously not a good thing, some argue that the revenue raised from trophy hunting is a good thing. Not so much for the animals whose lives are sold to the highest bidder… However there are also some positives to the iconic status the rhino possesses. In 2015, Sudan was placed under a 24-hour armed guard to protect him from poachers. While this precaution would obviously not have been necessary were he not a target to begin with, it is a testament to our respect for and love of animals these animals.
It is impossible to know how many species we are losing each year but the estimate is around 0.01 to 0.1% of the total number of species worldwide. If the minimum estimates for the number of species on our planet are correct (around 2 million species) that means we lose between 200 and 2,000 species every year. If our upper estimates are closer to the truth, this number escalates to between 10,000 and 100,000 species. Yet we do not see the loss of these in the media. Many of the species we lose each year, we do not know existed to begin with and now never will. We forget about species that play no role in our imagination so few of the general public give a second thought to their protection.
In 2017, Sudan joined Tinder. This radical move was an attempt by conservationists to raise awareness and money to protect him. With a little imagination we can develop novel, interesting means of educating and funding conservation efforts without selling an animal's life. The idea worked! Hours after his profile went live, the fundraising page which it linked to crashed from thousands of views. Sudan's sad death this year was from age-related problems. That he could be protected long enough that his death came from natural causes.
The main thing that this story makes me wonder is: what are our priorities? We happily forget about the incredible extinction rate that we are responsible for until some beautiful, iconic species loses a final individual (usually named: Sudan the rhino, Lonesome George). Cecil the Lion caused controversy due to his iconic status, though he was not the last of his species. It's no surprise that our minds cannot be constantly on such difficult and unpleasant topics but perhaps a little more consciousness would encourage us to take steps before it is too late, whether this means we recycle more, use a little less power, or do a little research into the most environmentally friendly products to buy.
As long as Sudan is the poster-animal for conservation, we in the West will continue to see it as some far-away issue that we can do little about other than donate money. Instead perhaps we should remember the beauty of even the tiniest creature. Go bird-watching, take a walk, even just sit outside for a moment. Take time to appreciate the beauty of the World around you everyday and perhaps those little actions to help protect it will become more common practice too!

A Veteran's Voice: Donald Lora
Donald Lora served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and on December 5, 2019, he served again, as Grand Marshall of the 23ABC Bakersfield Christmas Parade.
By: Mike Hart, 23ABC
Posted at 1:02 PM, Dec 10, 2019
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Donald Lora commanded an audience five years ago, when the 90-yr old former Chorale Director at Bakersfield High School belted out the National Anthem, that echoed through the Capitol Building in Washington, DC. The only sound coming as he finished, when he was met with a thunderous applause.
Cell phone video of the performance made the rounds on the internet. Lora credits his selection as the Grand Marshall of the 23ABC Bakersfield Christmas Parade on that video, and his former students he believes led the push to have him lead the annual parade.
You might say his singing career began in the Army. Lora was drafted during the Korean War and sent with a small unit to Clark Air Force Base in the Phillipines. "We were responsible for making sure everyone headed to Korea had everything they needed," said Lora, "and on the way home, that they were taken care of, the responsibility was ours."
But when he had time to himself, Lora returned to his musical roots, volunteering to lead the Chapel choir on the base. When his service ended, he was lured to Bakersfield during summer school classes at U.S.C. "A job came up and my professor said I should go check it out," said Lora, "the day I went up it was 111 degrees, but the job offered and opportunity and a challenge."
And it turned into a career. Lora spent 20 years as the director at B.H.S. and now, finally some say, as the Grand Marshall of the Christmas Parade. "The Lord has blessed me, and I'm still peeking at 90!" With plenty of encorse still to come.


The best Medicare Supplement plans in Florida for 2019 are designed to help seniors enjoy more savings and maximum coverage for their healthcare needs. Just like a prescription drug plan, such as Medicare Part D drug plans, can help seniors save money, a health plan from a health insurance company that offers Medigap plans in Florida can help with saving a lot of money, too. Learn a little more about the benefits of Medigap plans in Florida, and you'll probably want this type of coinsurance for yourself.
When you first started learning about Medicare, you might have learned about HMO & PPO Medicare Advantage plans. You may not have liked the idea of having to have a different type of insurance than Original Medicare since you might prefer to be a patient under Original Medicare if at all possible. Because of this, you may have stopped looking at your options.
Medicare Advantage is not your only option, though. You can stick with Original Medicare if you want and still have additional coverage. In exchange for premiums that are usually available at reasonable rates, you can purchase a Supplement plan through a company that offers health insurance. You will still be enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B — in fact, you have to be enrolled in both in order to sign up for Medicare Supplement plans in Florida for 2019 — but you will have extra coverage, too.
Even though you might like the Medicare benefits that you are already able to enjoy, you might want to pay the monthly premium for one of the best Medicare Supplement insurance plans in Florida for 2019 so that you can reduce out-of-pocket costs for preventive care and general healthcare.
Medigap plans in Florida for 2019 that come from a Medicare insurance company are popular among Floridians from all over the Sunshine State. These are the five top counties in Florida, but of course, you don't have to be a resident of one of these five counties to enjoy the coverage of one of the Medicare Supplement insurance plans in Florida.
In 2017, there were more than 2.4 million Medicare beneficiaries in Florida. This number includes those enrolled in Medicare Part A, Medicare Part B or both.
Of the 2.4 million Medicare beneficiaries in Florida, more than 787,000 were also the beneficiary of a Medigap plan.
Although different seniors choose different plans, Medicare Plan F is the most popular Medigap plan in Florida. Many people like the rates and coverage they can enjoy from this plan when compared to the others.
How Many Medicare Supplement Plans are Available in Florida for 2019?
Once you have chosen the best Medicare Supplement plan in Florida for 2019, you might be ready to sign up right away. If you are in your Initial Enrollment Period, then it's important to sign up right away. Some people don't sign up during their Medigap Open Enrollment Period for one reason or another, and many of these people end up regretting it.
After all, if you sign up during this six month period, you'll be able to find more affordable pricing, since your health conditions will not impact your rates. Plus, you do not have to worry about any insurance company telling you that they will not provide coverage because of your health. These things can and do become a concern after this six month period, though, so unless you are in excellent health, it's best not to wait around. Plus, if you sign up sooner, you'll be able to enjoy the benefits of coverage a whole lot sooner, too, so that is yet another reason not to hesitate to sign up.

Q: 3D object detection I need to be able to recognise 3D objects.
The objects - for simplicity consider that the objects are a pen, a coin and a mug.
The environment - the objects are placed on assembly line. The camera is placed above them always at a fixed distance(so the angle should be the same). The light should also be more or less the same.
The goal - the camera spends a few seconds scanning object X and has to be able to say whether it is a pen, coin or a mug.
Ideally the device will be Android tablet but this question is more on the theory and what is the best approach in general. Although the objects will be 3D objects from the real world, they will be completely static during the scan.

A: You can use available tools (e.g. Vuforia) which are capable of 3d object recognition but I'm quite sure you don't need 3d object recognition capability IF the camera is fixed and the real objects would always be recognized from the same angle (more or less). Few images would do the deal, even if the light changes within some limits.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Here's the latest on protests surrounding the death of George Floyd, a black man who died as a white police officer knelt on his neck.
On Friday night, demonstrators again remained on city streets hours after the curfew. With police generally allowing some leeway, crowds mostly dwindled on their own at various locations. But there were some minor flare-ups: About an hour after a Brooklyn protest ended, images on social media showed officers surrounding a group of protesters and chasing down some with batons.
Officers on Manhattan's East Side also used force to break up remnants of a march that started near the mayor's official residence. There were about 40 arrests citywide — far fewer than previous nights — and no obvious signs of the smash-and-grab stealing that marred protests earlier in the week.
With demonstrations and marches planned throughout the day and into the evening on Saturday in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx, local politicians and civil liberties advocates have been calling for an end to the 8 p.m. curfew. They've complained that it causes needless friction when officers try to enforce it.
But Mayor Bill de Blasio has insisted the curfew will remain in place throughout the weekend.
Minneapolis has agreed to ban chokeholds by police and to require officers to try to stop any other officers they see using improper force. The agreements reached Friday are the first concrete steps that have been taken to remake the city's police department since George Floyd's death. The moves are part of a stipulation between the city and the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, which launched a civil rights investigation this week. The City Council approved the agreement unanimously. Floyd, who was handcuffed and black, died May 25 after a white Minneapolis police officer used his knee to pin down Floyd's neck and kept it here even after Floyd begged for air and eventually stopped moving.
BUFFALO, N.Y.
Two Buffalo police officers were charged with assault Saturday, prosecutors said, after a video showed them shoving a protester in recent demonstrations over the death of George Floyd in Minnesota. Two officers push the elderly man backward, and he hits his head on the pavement. Blood spills as officers walk past. One officer leans down to check on the injured man before another officer urges the colleague to keep walking. Both pleaded not guilty to second-degree assault. They were released without bail. The officers had been suspended without pay Friday after a TV crew captured the confrontation the night before near the end of protests. Dozens of police officers stepped down from the department's crowd control unit Friday, in response to their fellow officers' suspensions.
WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump invoked George Floyd's name as he delivered remarks trumpeting the latest unemployment numbers, which showed the U.S. economy unexpectedly adding 2.5 million jobs last month.
Trump mentioned equal justice under the law means everyone needs to receive fair treatment. He referenced Floyd, whose death in police custody has sparked protests across the world.
Trump says, "Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that's happening for our country," adding: "This is a great day for him. It's a great day for everybody."
Trump is also calling an improving economy "the greatest thing that can happen for race relations" and the African American community.
MINNEAPOLIS -- A man with George Floyd says his friend didn't resist arrest and tried to diffuse the situation when officers began screaming at Floyd.
Maurice Lester Hall, a longtime friend, was a passenger in Floyd's car when police approached him on May 25 while responding to a call about a possible use of counterfeit money. Hall told the New York Times that Floyd was trying in his "humblest form to show he was not resisting arrest in no form or way."
Hall, 42, was arrested Monday in Houston on outstanding warrants.
He has been interviewed by Minnesota authorities and is a key witness in the state's investigation into the four officers who apprehended Floyd. All four officers were fired and charged, including Derek Chauvin, who pressed his knee into Floyd's neck.
Hall told ABC's "Good Morning America" the situation escalated and police grabbed Floyd, put him in a squad car, dragged him back out and then "jumped on the back of the neck."
Hall says Floyd was crying out for help because he was dying. He says he'll always remember seeing the fear in his friend's face.
Hall didn't know Floyd had died until the next day, when he saw the bystander video.
ORLANDO -- Two state lawmakers say a Florida deputy used unnecessary force by smashing the driver-side window of a woman's car after she left a group of demonstrators protesting police abuse and refused orders to leave the car after being pulled over.
On Thursday, Orange County Sheriff John Mina called it "troubling" and an internal inquiry had been opened.
In deputy-cam video footage released by the Orange County Sheriff's Office in Orlando, the deputy with lights flashing follows the woman in her car after she leaves a group of demonstrators on Wednesday. She pulls over into a parking lot, and the deputy exits his squad car and shouts "Get out of the car!"
When the woman asks why through a partially rolled-down window, the deputy asks, "Do you want to go to jail? Seriously? Either get out of the car or you're going to jail."
The deputy says she was illegally in the middle of the street when she stopped next to the demonstrators protesting the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis, and she was committing a traffic violation.
The deputy repeats his order and warns she will be removed if she doesn't comply. When the deputy starts reaching through the window to open the car door, the woman tells him to stop and starts rolling up the window. The deputy smashes the window with a baton, shattering glass on the woman. She was handcuffed and put in a squad vehicle.
The woman had minor cuts, according to sheriff's office officials, who say the car had lurched forward.
MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota's county attorneys want to give the state attorney general the authority to handle all cases of police-involved deaths.
The Minnesota County Attorneys Association voted Thursday in transferring that power during an emergency meeting, which included Attorney General Keith Ellison. The attorney general is leading the state's case against the four police officers involved in George Floyd's death instead of the Hennepin County Attorney's Office.
State lawmakers would need to pass legislation during this month's special session to give the attorney general the ongoing authority.
The county attorneys are also calling on the Legislature to provide additional funding to the state Attorney General's Office and create a unit within Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to investigate police killings of civilians.
"If this is the path the Legislature and governor choose to take, my office will accept the responsibility," Ellison said. "But it must come with resources sufficient to do the job thoroughly and to do justice in the way Minnesotans have a right to expect."
Ellison is one of 18 Democratic attorneys general who are asking Congress to grant their offices "clear statutory authority under federal law" to investigate "unconstitutional policing by local police departments" in their respective states, the Star Tribune reported.
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minneapolis City Council is preparing to vote on changes to the city's police department in response to the death of George Floyd.
City leaders and the Minnesota Department of Human Rights are working out an agreement for a temporary restraining order to force some immediate changes and set a timeline for the state's civil rights investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department.
The council meets Friday afternoon. If the council approves the agreement, the order would require court approval.
The state human rights department opened a civil rights investigation into allegations of racial discrimination by the police department on Tuesday. The investigation into policies, procedures and practices seeks to determine if the force has engaged in systematic discriminatory practices toward people of color and ensure that any such practices are stopped.
ORLANDO -- A group of pastors marched through Orlando on Friday morning to protest the death of George Floyd.
The pastors were joined by local leaders, including Orange County Sheriff John Mina and Orlando Police Chief Orlando Rolon.
Protests across Central Florida have remained largely peaceful, with small outbreaks of vandalism.
Orlando police have made several arrests over the past week related to the protests.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Prosecutors are investigating after a television crew captured a police officer in Buffalo, New York, shoving a 75-year-old man who then fell and cracked his head.
The WBFO recording of Thursday night's encounter quickly gained steam online and sparked outrage. Two police officers have been suspended without pay.
The video shows a man approaching a line of officers clearing demonstrators from Niagara Square around curfew time. The man falls backward and hits his head on the pavement. Blood leaks out as officers walk past.
The mayor says the man is in serious condition. He hasn't been publicly identified.
PARIS -- Police have banned a planned protest against police violence in Paris on Saturday because of health measures restricting gatherings during the coronavirus pandemic.
A protest decrying systemic racism and calling for justice for Floyd and other victims of police brutality was planned to take place outside the U.S. Embassy.
But on Friday, Police Prefect Didier Lallement said such protests "are not authorized" because virus safety measures "prohibit any gathering, in the public space, of more than 10 people." He issued an order banning the Floyd demonstration and another protest planned for the same day.
Lallement said "in addition to the disturbances to public order that these rallies can generate ... the health risks they could cause remain significant."
France has had over 29,000 people die in the pandemic.
BEIRUT -- The Islamic State group says protests across the United States and the repercussions of the coronavirus on Western countries will weaken these nations and divert their attention from Muslim countries.
The comments published Friday in an editorial in the extremist group's online weekly newspaper al-Nabaa were its first on protests in America after last week's death of African American George Floyd while a policeman put a knee to his neck.
Al-Nabaa said protests have been occurring in the U.S. since it was founded, but this year "coincide with the negative effects of the pandemic on the country's economy." Al-Nabaa said the pandemic will weaken "infidel states."
In recent weeks, the militants have taken advantage of the pandemic to launch deadly attacks in their former self-declared caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria.
The group that once controlled large parts of Iraq and Syria used these territories to launch attacks worldwide that killed hundreds of people since declaring their so-called caliphate in 2014.
WASHINGTON -- Twitter has blocked a Trump campaign video tribute to George Floyd over a copyright claim, in a move that adds to tensions between the social media platform and the U.S. president, one of its most widely followed users.
The company put a label on a video posted by the (at)TeamTrump account that said, "This media has been disabled in response to a claim by the copyright owner." The video was still up on President Donald Trump's YouTube channel and includes pictures of Floyd, whose death sparked widespread protests, at the start.
"Per our copyright policy, we respond to valid copyright complaints sent to us by a copyright owner or their authorized representatives," Twitter said in a statement.
The three minute and 45 second clip is a montage of photos and videos of peaceful marches and police officers hugging protesters interspersed with some scenes of burning buildings and vandalism, set to gentle piano music and Trump speaking.
It's the latest action that Twitter has taken against Trump, who has threatened to retaliate against social media companies.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- A member of Finland's populist party has been expelled from the its parliamentary group in response to a series of racist social media posts by the lawmaker -- the latest one was on George Floyd.
The opposition Finns Party decided Thursday to expel Ano Turtiainen from the group. He has since conceded it was racist, deleted the tweet and apologized to the party that was formerly known as the True Finns, according to Finnish broadcaster YLE.
"This time that was not enough. The decision was unanimous," spokesman Ville Tavio said of the apology and the decision to expel Turtiainen, according to YLE.
Parliament speaker Matti Vanhanen described the tweet, showing a doctored image of Floyd being arrested with a pink head and the words "Pink Floyd," as "shocking and simply wrong from the standpoint from universal human values."
Turtiainen's exit means meant the Finns Party is no longer the largest group in the country's parliament.
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- South Africa's ruling party says it is launching a "Black Friday" campaign in response to the "heinous murder" of George Floyd and "institutionalized racism" in the U.S., at home, in China and "wherever it rears its ugly head."
A statement by the African National Congress says President Cyril Ramaphosa on Friday evening will address the launch of the campaign that calls on people to wear black on Fridays in solidarity.
The campaign is also meant to highlight "deaths by citizens at the hands of security forces" in South Africa, which remains one of the world's most unequal countries a quarter-century after the end of the racist system of apartheid.
"The demon of racism remains a blight on the soul of our nation," the ANC statement says.
SYDNEY -- Thousands gathered in Australia's capital on Friday to remind Australians that the racial inequality underscored by George Floyd's death was not unique to the United States.
The Canberra rally that attracted 2,000 demonstrators comes before larger rallies are planned for Australia's most populous cities on Saturday, with authorities concerned about maintaining social distancing.
Police were on Friday seeking a court order banning a rally in Australia's largest city, Sydney, because of the pandemic risk. A state government leader urged demonstrators not to attend a rally in Melbourne, the country's second-largest city.
Matilda House, an elder of the Ngambri-Ngunnawal family group who are the traditional owners of the Canberra region, said: "Australians have to understand that what's been going on the United States has been happening here for a long time."
Australia had to move beyond a colonial attitude "that blacks are only here to be walked on, trodden on and murdered," House said in the first speech of the rally.
NEW YORK -- Patrick Mahomes, Saquon Barkley and Michael Thomas are among more than a dozen NFL stars who united to send a passionate video message to the league about racial inequality.
The 70-second video was released on social media platforms Thursday night and includes Odell Beckham Jr., Deshaun Watson, Ezekiel Elliott, Jamal Adams, Stephon Gilmore and DeAndre Hopkins, among others.
Thomas, the New Orleans Saints wide receiver who has led the league in receptions the past two seasons, opens the video with the statement: "It's been 10 days since George Floyd was brutally murdered." The players then take turns asking the question, "What if I was George Floyd?"
The players then name several of the black men and women who have recently been killed, including Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and Eric Garner.
The video closes with the players insisting they "will not be silenced." They also demand the NFL state that it condemns "racism and the systemic oppression of black people. ... We, the National Football League, admit wrong in silencing our players from peacefully protesting. ... We, the National Football League, believe black lives matter."
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A police commissioner has suspended two officers following video that shows a Buffalo officer appearing to shove a man who walked up to police.
Video from WBFO shows the man appearing to hit his head on the pavement, with blood leaking out as officers walk past to clear Niagara Square on Thursday night.
The station reports two medics treated the unidentified man. Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz tweeted that the man was hospitalized and stable, but his exact condition wasn't immediately known.
WIVB-TV reports that Buffalo police initially said in a statement a person "was injured when he tripped & fell." But Capt. Jeff Rinaldo later told the TV station that an internal affairs investigation was opened. Later Thursday, news outlets reported that Police Commissioner Byron Lockwood suspended two officers without pay.
New York Attorney General Letitia James's office has tweeted that they're aware of the video.
NEW YORK -- Protesters stayed on the streets of New York City after curfew for another day Thursday, spurred by the death of George Floyd.
Actions by the protesters included gathering at Brooklyn's Cadman Plaza, the site where police used batons against demonstrators who were out past the city-imposed curfew a night earlier.
Protesters continued past the 8 p.m. curfew Thursday, even after Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio sought to deflect criticism over harsh tactics from police enforcing it.
Thousands of protesters were out after curfew, and so were police.
At some locations, officials watched, but didn't immediately move in. At other spots, they made orderly arrests without the batons and riot gear, like a night earlier.

Icelanders positive over thriving tourism industry
Iceland, Society, Travel
By Erlingur Nordal
The majority of Icelanders are happy that an increasing number of tourists are visiting the North Atlantic island, according to a recent poll.
The MMR-conducted poll showed that 80 per cent of those surveyed viewed tourism in the country positively, while just 6.3 per cent admitted they were somewhat negative about it and 3.1 per cent very negative. The remaining 12.5 per cent said they were neither positive nor negative on the subject.
The researchers found that the positive views on tourism could be linked in some way to income, with those earning more money tending to be more upbeat, while 17.5 per cent of respondents with a monthly family wage below 250,000 kronor having either a somewhat or very negative view on foreign tourists. Further, just 62.3 per cent were either somewhat or very positive.
Meanwhile, of the respondents with a family income in excess of a million kronor, 89.3 per cent were positive, while just 6.2 per cent were somewhat or very negative.
Those living in the Reykjavik region viewed foreign tourists more positively than people elsewhere in Iceland; however, the figures varied only slightly, with 81.4 per cent of those in the capital having a somewhat or very positive view on visitors in comparison to 77.8 per cent of those elsewhere in the country.

The Role of "Legality" in Kant's Moral Philosophy
This study deals with the place and meaning of "legality" in Kant's moral philosophy. Although the return to Kantianism dominates contemporary political and legal thought, the boundaries of the analyses of the relationship between morality and legality in Kant's moral philosophy are confined to the boundaries drawn by John Rawls and Jürgen Habermas. While Rawls and Habermas consider law and morality as intersecting sets of rules and rights, they mostly consider this relationship in terms of the question of the legitimacy of law. By contrast, this study is an attempt to reconsider the Kantian link between morality and legality beyond the question of the legitimacy of law. Without the deontological filters of the Rawlsian and Habermasian political and legal theory, and therefore without leaving teleological and axiological concerns outside of the field of application, this study is an attempt to analyze the possible ways of understanding the conceptual connection between morality and legality in Kant's moral philosophy. Hence in this study, by paying particular attention to The Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals and The Metaphysics of Morals, I will analyze the role of legality in Kant's morality. The study first explains the goals of Groundwork and Metaphysics as Kant describes them. The study then turns to the discussion of duty as the central concept of Kant's thought. In the process, the study questions the possible ways of understanding the conceptual relationship between moral and legal obligation in Kant's thought, and mainly emphasizes two possible different conceptualizations of that relationship, (a) The first understanding can be constructed on the claim that the obligation of the moral subject is also to follow the fundamental principles of morality, the Categorical Imperative, in the legal order, which is part of the phenomenal world. The main point of this understanding lies in the idea that Kant's understanding of legal obligation presupposes the will's capacity to abstract from inclinations, (b) The second understanding, in contrast to the first one, can be built on the belief that moral and legal obligations should be conceived as completely distinct and non-intersecting in Kant's moral philosophy. From this perspective, neither moral obligation nor legal obligation can affect each other. The study concludes by focusing on moderate interventionism as a possible third option for linking moral and legal obligations in Kant's moral philosophy.

I've said many times before how much I HATED summer style. It was the least developed part of my wardrobe even though it's one of the longest lasting seasons where I live (we get summer weather June through Sept/October…I know it doesn't compare to Florida, but it's still 4-5 months nonetheless)! For the last few summers, after the middle of July I was DONE dressing for summer. I hated it. I had no game plan for summer dressing, I was missing summer basics and overall lacked a cohesive wardrobe, and I always felt like I had nothing to wear. Yet I still had about 3 months of summer weather ahead of me! Bleh!
I'm SO happy I put time into developing a mix and match summer wardrobe over the last few months. With this wardrobe, this summer I have been LOVING my summer style, where normally at this point I would be dying for fall clothes.
If you need some summer outfit inspiration, here are 2 weeks worth of outfits for you! I even laid them out by days.
Here they are in live form! Isn't it fun to see them go from little graphics to real live outfits?
If you're thinking you can't wear these outfits because you don't have these exact pieces, don't worry! See the Summer Capsule Wardrobe below and you'll notice under each item there is a generalized description. Pull something from your own closet that fits the description. For example, if you don't have a solid green top, the general description says "solid colored top," so use any solid colored top you've got! Similarly, if you don't have a yellow skirt, but you have one in a different color, use that instead. Or, if shorts are too casual for your lifestyle, use a skirt that matches the color description instead. Think of these as outfit formulas rather than outfits you must replicate exactly in order for them to work. 🙂(In the PMT Style Challenge I actually write out every outfit formula for you. E.g. Outfit #1 would say "solid neutral tee + printed skirt + colored flats." Makes all the translating much easier for you!
If you want to shop these pieces or lots of similar options, go to my original post for the Summer Capsule Wardrobe (HERE).
YOU CAN DO IT: Which of these outfit formulas you can take from this post to plan next week's outfits?
GET MORE OUTFITS – PURCHASE THE SUMMER OUTFIT GUIDE!
65+ outfits made from the Summer Capsule Wardrobe. Look cute through the hot summer months!
If you want more than 2 weeks of outfits, get the Summer Outfit Guide! It comes with 65+ outfits from this capsule wardrobe. There are many summer outfits from the Summer Capsule already here on the blog, but what's helpful about the PDF is that all the outfits are right in front of you all in one place. You can easily scan the PDF for ways to wear one piece. Like, did you want 4 outfit ideas with the blue and white striped J.Crew Factory skirt? It'll be right there at your fingertips. Same with every other piece in the summer capsule.
Also, you can pick and choose from the 65+ outfits and plan a week's worth of outfits within just a couple of minutes. You don't need to sift through numerous blog posts to collect all the outfits.
Lastly, whereas the 14 Days of Outfits above didn't have generalized outfit formulas listed out, this Summer Outfit Guide includes the outfit formulas. It makes it easy for you to adapt the outfits to work with your life and style.
The cost for 65+ outfits, all the outfit formulas, and being able to look cute through the rest of summer without having to think much about it would typically be $24.99, but since it's the end of the summer I'm marking it down to only $12.99! Click the red button below!
For more capsule wardrobes + planned outfits, check out the past PMT Challenges!
Taking notes! Love how all the outfits came to live. It's always helpful to see them on. By the way, where is the crossbody bag you're wearing with the black maxi from?
This is fantabulous! I love it so much, because I live where you live! I think I can probably wear these with some completer pieces added in for 8 months out of the year! THANK YOU for sharing it. I'm excited for the Fall challenge, even though I probably can't start wearing fall clothes until November, LOL.
Bahaha you and me both with November fall clothes.
I'm not sure why you hate summer style, you look great! Your outfit ideas that you came up with were super cute!
This looks great, Audrey!! Thank you for sharing with us. Looking forward to the next challenge!!
I love that you did the IRL outfit photos! This would be an amazing addition to the PMT challange…if you have time. I'm sure that's crazy time consumign!
I ordered a dress like your olive Amazon one and wondered if you've laundered yours yet, and if so, how did you do it? I love the dress (I bought a deep wine color), by the way!
I usually hand wash and air dry. Haven't machine washed them yet!
Welcome, Kaisa! I'm 5'6″ and normally size S/M or 6/8. I usually share sizing info on all my posts, just didn't do it on this one. If you look back to further posts and read the details you can find detailed sizing info on all pieces. Hope that helps!
Thanks Audrey! Yup I've read some more posts and see the sizes. Thanks again!
I love how thorough you are with this! I'm a big proponent of building pieces that can be remixed throughout the year into my wardrobe and I love what you've put together!
I can't imagine how much work this was for you but so helpful!! I don't have all these pieces but it'll still be helpful! Thank you!
Are you going to put a summer 2018 challenge together? And if so, when will it begin?
Hi Paula! There won't be a summer challenge (I wasn't sure I could handle it with a newborn!) A bunch of women are going through this Summer Outfit Guide instead though!


The Government is looking to make Hounslow in St. Elizabeth an agro-industrial zone, boasting up-to-date post harvest plants, as part of the thrust to modernise and transform Jamaican agriculture.
Hounslow is perhaps the most fertile area in Jamaica and it has one of the largest irrigation infrastructure in the country of well over 3,000 acres of land. Already, a packaging house has been set up in the rich farming community and construction is slated to start on a pepper mash factory in March.A breeding station for small ruminants is also to be restored.
"We have a five-year plan for this area that is going to capitalise on the lands that are available to get farmers to grow produce that are demanded and will go into further processing," said Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, Hon. Dr. Christopher Tufton.
He was addressing a meeting with farmers on Thursday (Feb. 17) at the Hounslow playfield to inform them how to manage demand and supply to avoid gluts in the market,and how they can benefit from the packaging house, which is being set up by GraceKennedy.
Dr. Tufton said that the industrial park will not only provide farmers with a ready market for their produce, but they will also benefit from training and technical support to increase yield and enhance quality for the discerning consumer market.
A facility is in place to train farmers in best practices in irrigation and the Ministry is working with the Sydney Pagon Agricultural School in the parish, to have that institution upgraded, through collaboration with the University of Technology.
"We want to, as best as possible… work with you to grow produce in the best possible way to improve your yields, to get more out of what you do. Instead of getting 50 pounds out of a square, you can get 60 or 70 pounds out of a square," Dr. Tufton stated.
The packaging house will be operated by GraceKennedy under a lease agreement with the Government, and the company has invested millions of dollars in renovating and equipping the facility.
GraceKennedy will enter into contracts with farmers for the supply of produce, which will be packaged with the Grace brand and sold to hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, and wholesalers.
These include vegetables such as cabbage, onions, carrots, lettuce, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers to be produced mainly in greenhouses, and tubers such as yams and sweet potatoes from open fields.
Agri-Business Manager at GraceKennedy Foods, Orville Palmer, informed that a numbers of contracts have already been secured with farmers for the supply for produce and the company is having ongoing meetings with the farming community.
The forum was also addressed by officials of the two major hotel chains, Sandals and SuperClubs, who outlined the main produce that the hotels are interested in obtaining from local farmers.
