Façade Work Progresses on Bankside's 2401 3rd Avenue Complex in Mott Haven, The Bronx
7:30 am on June 26, 2021 By Michael Young
Exterior work is continuing to shape up on 2401 Third Avenue, a three-tower complex designed by Hill West Architects in Brookfield Properties' Bankside master plan in Mott Haven, The Bronx. The 4.3-acre development is a combination of two sites along the northern side of the Harlem River. 2401 Third Avenue is located on the western side of the Third Avenue Bridge, and 101 Lincoln Avenue is the larger counterpart found on the opposite side. Bankside will provide seven residential buildings, 15,000 square feet of retail space, a community facility run by a local nonprofit yet to be named, and 34,000 square feet of public waterfront space. Brookfield purchased the two parcels for $165 million in September 2018 from Somerset Partners and The Chetrit Group. Ground was first broken on 2401 Third Avenue in the fall of 2019, and construction on Bankside is expected to cost $950 million and yield 1,370 units.

Planning permission was approved for the building of the Premier Electric Theatre on 26th September 1910. The architect was Mr. S. Birdwood, but before the building could be opened Premier Electric Theatre's company went into liquidation and the building was acquired by Picturedrome Theatres Ltd.
It was opened as the East Finchley Picturedrome on 11th May 1912 when "The Ill-Fated Titanic" was screened for 3-days. The screen was located at the front end of the building, behind the Moorish style façade and seating was provided for 428 on one floor. There was also a café.
In 1925 it was taken over by new owners, re-named the Coliseum Cinema and after refurbishment it re-opened on 25th January 1926.
Taken over by another Independent operator in 1936 it was re-named Rex Cinema and on 27th June 1938 plans were approved for extensive changes to the building by architects Howes & Jackman with internal decorations by Mollo & Egan. The auditorium was totally reversed with screen transposed to the other end of the building (as in normal cinemas) and the floor was given a new rake so that the highest end is now at the front entrance end of the cinema. The original 1910 Edwardian barrel vaulted ceiling was retained, but to add to the modernism of the 1930's the side walls were treated to a display of several wonderful Art Deco panels by interior designers Mollo & Egan. A new projection box was built over the foyer and the façade of the building was given an Art Deco style, a new marquee was added as well as stylish neon letters spelling out the name 'REX'. It was re-opened on 12th September 1938.
Several other independent operators had control of the building over the years and even the mighty Granada Theatres chain took over for a brief period from October 1973 until the end of 1974. It was taken back by Independent operators and became North London's premier art house cinema. Demolition was threatened in 1983 for an office block to be built on the site, but the Rex Cinema and its supporters put up a brave fight and won the battle.
Eventually in 1985 ownership was passed onto a Trust that was set up to operate it and under the newly formed Phoenix Cinema Trust Ltd. (a registered charity) the cinema was re-named Phoenix Cinema. In 2001 a renovation programme was begun to refurbish the Phoenix Cinema.
London's Time Out listings magazine nominated the Phoenix as #6 in London's Top Ten Cinemas in 2001 and The Guardian newspaper's readers voted it 9th out of 10 'Favourite UK Cinemas' (the only London cinema to be in the Top Ten). It was closed in the Summer of 2010, to receive a 1 Million GB Pounds Lottery Funded restoration.
The Phoenix Cinema was given a Grade II Listed building status by English Heritage in December 1999.

A wonderful picture of the cinema when it was the Rex in 1960. OK, so the cinema isn't wholly in view, but the overall atmosphere; the cars, trolleybus wires and East Finchley Station Northern Line bridges in the distance, is just as I remember it in the late 50's when mum took me to see Clamity Jane and Carousel. Thanks to LostMemory for posting – I wonder if there are any other photos from this period?

OEIGWG has come in from the cold. Will the EU do the same?
In July, the Open Ended Intergovernmental Working Group on Transnational Corporations and Other Business Enterprises, chaired by Ecuador, published the zero draft of the text of a treaty on business and human rights. This draft is the basis for negotiations in Geneva from 15–19 October 2018. The text represents a good first basis for further negotations among UN member states, and it goes some way toward closing protection gaps, especially in global supply chains. Helpfully, it builds on the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights and focuses on the most urgent areas in this field: the prevention of human rights abuses and access to effective remedy for victims. Rather than elevating corporations to direct subjects of international law, it bolsters the existing architecture of human rights protection: the state duty to protect, enforced by civil and criminal liability. These positive developments compared with earlier documents from the treaty process should be recognized by the UN member states and especially by the European Union. Further rounds of negotiations must now achieve the necessary precision, ironing out of contradicitons, and further development of the text.
The Paris Agreement of 2015 represents a significant step for the promotion of human rights-based and people-centred climate policies. Critical to this are the implementation guidelines for the Agreement, which are currently being negotiated and are planned to be adopted at COP-24 in December 2018. Given their broad mandate National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) can play a significantly role to ensure that human rights inform the guidelines. The brief provides information about essential elements of the Paris Agreement which the guidelines will address and outlines key aspects the guidelines should include to ensure that climate policies are human-rights based in their design and implementation.
The Talanoa Dialogue on Climate Ambition organised throughout 2018 in the context of the UN climate negotiations offers a significant opportunity for all stakeholders, including National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs), to frame climate action in the context of human rights and the principles reaffirmed by the Paris Agreement. The brief provides an overview of the methodology and guiding questions of the Talanoa Dialogue and identifies entry points for NHRIs and other stakeholders to engage in the process. It offers guidance on how information about the importance of integration human rights into climate action can be fed into the Dialogue.

Stellungnahme des Instituts zu den "Entwurfselementen für ein verbindliches Menschenrechtsabkommen" der Offenen Zwischenstaatlichen UN-Arbeitsgruppe zu Transnationalen Konzernen und Sonstigen Unternehmen.
Comments on the 'Elements for the Draft Legally Binding Instrument' of the Open-Ended Intergovernmental Working Group on Transnational Corporations and Other Business Enterprises.
In Ukraine, the legal framework has become more supportive of promoting and protecting the rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bi- and Transsexual and Transgender (LGBT) people in recent years. Nevertheless, homophobia remains widespread and stigmatising social attitudes negatively impact on LGBT people's access to social and economic rights, such as to health. It is against this background that GIZ has implemented the programme 'HIV/AIDS advisory services and institutional capacity building' in cooperation with the Ukrainian Ministry of Health. One component of the programme includes supporting 'Tergo', an organisation established and run by parents of LGBT people. The publication describes measures implemented to strengthen Tergo as an organisation and to empower the parents of LGBT people to promote the rights of sexual minorities. It also presents results, remaining challenges and lessons learned.
Human rights risk assessments help corporations to identify potential adverse effects of their business activities on human rights in order to avoid them, reduce them or compensate those affected. Corporations differ in their understanding of what constitutes a "risk": a corporate risk assessment is about potentially adverse effects on returns on investments or operations. This analysis outlines the different concepts of risk in a human rights and in a business context and illustrates the potential impact this discrepancy can have in practice by using the example of a corporate risk assessment in the Colombian coal sector. From this analysis the Institute derives criteria for possible self-regulatory action on the part of state and business, which can make a human rights risk assessment a mandatory requirement for enterprises.
The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) were developed to close the gap between transnational economic activities and the regulation of state duties and corporate responsibilities in the protection of human rights. The UNGP confirm that National Human Rights Institutions have an important role to play in implementing the principles. Their task is to provide guidance on human rights to States, business enterprises and other non-State actors. Transnational cooperation among National Human Rights Institutions can help to promote the implementation process. With this paper, the German Institute for Human Rights wants to share its experiences with international NHRI cooperation and provide food for thought about how other NHRIs might benefit from those experiences.
As the German energy sector has close ties with the Columbian mining sector, human rights issues in Colombia's mining regions need to be seen in a transnational context. This translates into diverse options for action and shared responsibilities on both ends of the coal supply chain with respect to the human rights impacts. As the constellation of actors involved is complex, it is not always obvious who bears precisely what sort of responsibility for what. Moreover, this complex constellation is itself embedded in a transnational economic structure. This allows gaps in human rights protection to open. This analysis reveals that new opportunities to take action are necessary. Transnational cooperation can help closing gaps in protection and provide more transparency.
As a complement to the ABC of Human Rights in Development Cooperation, this annex explains the basic features of the Arab human rights protection system. It is intended as an overview of the regional human rights system for development practitioners. The tool contains many links to external ressources. The publication complements tools on the Asian, African, European and Inter-American human rights protection system.

Räikkönen
Car 2 seconds below min time under safety car
1. Rosberg Reigns on home turf
Supreme is the only way to describe Rosberg's performance across the whole weekend, he exercised his utter supremacy on the circuit he grew up on. He remembers being driven through the tunnel on the way to school, and when he drove through it on the 78th lap he had been unchallenged from Thursday morning where he topped all the time sheets from the moment he took to the track. In each free practice and qualifying Rosberg left everyone wanting, then to lead from pole to flag he gave a Monaco masterclass, taking inspiration from his father 30 years ago.
Rosberg said he wasn't considering the neat tie up with the 30th anniversary of his father's victory on Sunday, understandable when he had two safety cars and a red flag to contend with. Dealt with calmly and with a cool head he forced the pack to follow him as he managed his tyres superbly.
2. Tyregate
It has been quite some time since we've had a decent controversy in Formula One, Red Bull's flexi wings debacle doesn't stack up against this weekend's revelations, with murmurs of exclusions this falls in line with Spygate. In summary Pirelli are allowed to request the involvement of teams for a 1000km tyre test and they invited Mercedes for one after Barcelona, when the other teams packed up the Silver Arrows hung around.
Why Red Bull and Ferrari have protested is that Mercedes used a current car (Ferrari reportedly used a 2010 spec in Bahrain) and that Pirelli did not extend the invitation to any other teams, and the latter point has the FIA issuing a statement that hints at this being taken further. What is clear at the moment is that this won't be a quick process.
3. Just like buses
Apart from Vettel's description, "Usually you expect two silver arrows in front of you and there were two buses today…" it was in fact the first time appearance of the safety car, it took until the sixth race for it to get out of the pit lane. But it should come as no surprise, around the relentless and unforgiving Monegasque streets there is an 80% chance that the safety car will be called into action and today the drivers saw it twice.
The first call out was due to a suspension failure on Massa's car that saw him recreate the accident from the third free practice which declined him the chance to contest qualifying. Ploughing into the barriers at Ste Devote he triggered a raft a pit stops but it was the double stacked Mercedes that changed the outcome of the race, Hamilton hung back from Rosberg too much (then running 1-2) and gifted Webber a podium and Vettel yet more points.
The second was created by a clumsy move by Chilton on Maldonado whose Monaco luck seems to be lacking in recent times, as the rookie moved back onto the racing line at Tabac his clipped the Williams' driver who was launched briefly in the air. This resulted in a head on crash which brought the Tecpro barrier across the track, with the race red flagged there was no need to worry about tyres that were threatening to become marginal.
4. From first lap nutcase to idiot
After the Japanese Grand Prix last year Webber branded Grosjean a 'first lap nutcase' after his T-boned him and forced him to rejoin the field at the back, this not being long after his race ban the Australian suggested he needed 'another holiday'. After the race concluded in Monaco it was the turn of the younger Australian, Ricciardo, to make his opinion known about the Frenchman. "I didn't want to waste the energy yelling 'screw you, what the hell were you thinking?' I just said 'you're an idiot', and that was it." Claiming he didn't need to pressure the stewards into handing out a penalty, Grosjean has been served with a 10 place grid drop in Canada, he also didn't need to elaborate with his engineers after the collision going into the chicane. "You can probably guess the driver…"
5. Kiss with a fist
Grosjean wasn't the only driver to come under fire from his fellow drivers, Perez wasn't making many friends amongst the former world champions around the streets of the principality. His team principal, Whitmarsh, may come to rue the day he encouraged Perez to become more aggressive after the Chinese Grand Prix, because since then he's garnered negative press for his driving style.
He came close to Button during his favourite overtaking spot at the chicane, but later praised the Mexican for his great move when later questioned by the media. Alonso was forced to relinquish his position to Perez, after the red flag, when he missed the chicane to avoid colliding with the new McLaren driver. He initially protested but played fair during the red flag period when he went over to Perez to shake his hand.
Raikkonen on the other hand wasn't quite so complicit, when asked later by the press if the drivers were going to talk to Perez about his behaviour, he replied in what can only be described in typical Kimi fashion. "Maybe someone should punch him in the face."
6. Mildly entertained
Amongst Tyregate, Perez and Grosjean there was some actual overtaking that happened on track and not in the pits, shocking. Both Force India drivers made ground on other drivers with some opportunist moves, Sutil took a sleeping Alonso around the hairpin to go from 8th to 5th when he needed a good result not marred by technical issues. Di Resta carved his way through the field from 17th into the points with a 9th place finish.
7. Alls well that ends Vettel
Although Vettel purposely laid down a storming fastest lap late in the race, against his team's wishes, for nothing 'but satisfaction' he made it clear he wasn't going to go for the win and uncharacteristically let Rosberg streak into the lead. Even though both Raikkonen and Alonso scored points, Vettel stretched his lead out nonetheless which will only make a small section of the sport happy.

Public Visitation
Public Funeral Service - live streamed on funeral home website for those not able to attend
- 2:00 P.M.
Ruth Jean Rust, 89, died on Tuesday, July 21, 2020 in Sanford Nursing Home in Hillsboro, ND. She was born September 10, 1930 into a blended family. Her father, John Schlichtmann, was an immigrant from Hamburg, Germany and her mother, Olga Huemoeller Stanley Schlichtmann was from Minnesota. They each brought 3 children to the family and they had five children together.
Ruth was baptized into the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) on November 2, 1930 and confirmed March 25, 1945, both by Pastor RT Schuricht.
In school, students sat in alphabetical order, and Ruth Schlichtmann sat behind Vernon Rust. They became High School sweethearts. Vernon and Ruth were united in marriage on September 29, 1952. They were blessed with a son, Randal Duane and a daughter, Bonnie Jean.
Ruth attended Bloomfield school #1 for seven years and graduated from Hillsboro High School in 1948. Following HS, she attended Interstate Business College and passed the Civil Service exam. Ruth worked for the USDA as an auditor for several years. In 1960, she began working in the office of the Hillsboro Public Schools, a job she held for 32 years until retiring in 1992 as its business manager. Her commitment to HS students led her to encourage participation in the H-509 Dollars for Scholars program, which was dear to her heart.
Ruth was known for her attention to detail and used that talent for planning and organizing events at work, in the community, in her church, and within the family. She was a life-long member of St. John Lutheran Church, where she taught Sunday School, attended Bible Studies, made quilts, and was an active leader in the LWML.
Spending time with family was Ruth's greatest joy. She treasured her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Their antics would always bring a smile to her face. She was also compassionate and supportive of the Witt foster kids. Ruth looked forward to staying connected with extended family, through biennial reunions. She always had stories to share. Ruth also enjoyed reading, golfing, playing cards, making quilts, working puzzles, and watching Minnesota Twins baseball.
Her husband, Vernon, was called to his eternal home on May 2nd, 1965. Other family members who preceded her in death included her parents, brothers and sisters Henry (Orrel) Schlichtmann, Walter (Ina) Schlichtmann, Margaret (Fred) Behnke, Herbert Schlichtmann, Vivian O'Donnell, Dorothy (Fred) Hintz, Eleanor (Kenneth) Ydstie, Shirley (John) Taylor, and Lois (Daniel) Maisel; Father-in-law and Mother-in-law Albert and Emma Rust, and brothers/sisters-in-law Elmer (Renata) Dickhoff, Willard (Sally) Dickhoff, and Evelyn (William) Meyer; and Great Grandson, Leo Robert Wilson.
Ruth is survived by her brother Raymond (Sharon) Schlichtmann, her son, Randy (Judy) Rust, his children Maggie (Bob) Wilson, John Rust, and Jacob (Nicole) Rust; her daughter Bonnie (Craig) Braymen, and her children Aurora (Rob) Witt, Erica (Lief) Christensen, and Marissa Braymen (Brian Swinkels); Great grandsons Tyler, Oakley, and Henrik Wilson, Noah Rust, Asa and Aksel Christensen. Ruth also has many nieces and nephews.
Ruth and the family are so appreciative of the loving care that was given by the Sanford Nursing Home and Hospice staff. If you are so moved, memorials are suggested to Hospice of the Red River Valley.

When the US tour to support his Midnight Love album ended, Marvin Gaye tried to isolate himself by moving into his parents' house in Los Angeles. It was documented that his mental and physical condition spiraled out of control. He threatened to commit suicide several times. On April 1, 1984, his father fatally shot him, but the gun had given to his father by Marvin Jr. four months before. Marvin Jr., who was then sentenced to five years of probation, had been beaten by Gaye before the killing. Marvin Gaye spent his final years in a retirement home and died of pneumonia in 1998.

Al's Top 30 Albums Of All Time – No. 24
24. David Bowie – Diamond Dogs (1974)
Diamond Dogs isn't my most played David Bowie album, that honour would go to Low. Nor is it, in terms of song-writing, his best; Hunky Dory takes that title. The reason it is my favourite Bowie record is because it is spectacular, ridiculous, weird and challenging. It is his most interesting album.
Diamond Dogs was recorded around the time of the Cracked Actor documentary, when Bowie was a hollowed out stick figure who was addicted to cocaine and almost completely sleepless. This psychosis and paranoia bled into his music, and Diamond Dogs was originally an attempt to write a musical version of George Orwell's 1984, one of the most paranoid books ever written. The following year, when he starred in The Man Who Fell To Earth, in which he played an alien who was horrifically uncomfortable with everything around him, he was basically playing himself.
The fact that he was able to play two hundred shows a year and still record some of the greatest music ever made is a testament to either his doggedness or the quality of the shit his drug dealer could get his hands on. Diamond Dogs is admittedly patchy, but it is a phenomenal artistic achievement, an amalgam of Glam, Krautrock, Rock n' Roll and cabaret, hung together on a loose narrative about a post-apocalyptic city where "Fleas the size of rats suck on rats the size of cats." It is bookended by a distorted beatless spoken-word scene-setter called Future Legend and chugging bass-heavy mantra The Chant Of The Ever Circling Skeletal Family; two non-songs, an incredibly brave step for the most famous rock star in the world. Having said that, it also contains two of his best rockers (it is a little-known fact that Bowie himself played lead guitar on this album) in the title track and Rebel Rebel and the string-laden whip-smart funk epic 1984, so there was commercial appeal in there somewhere.
It is the three song suite of Sweet Thing, Candidate and Sweet Thing (Reprise) that shoots this to the top of the Bowie chart for me, though. I simply do not know how you sit down and conceive of writing a song like this. There is no conventional structure anywhere here, but it is home to the best vocal performance in all of rock, a soaring and spiralling tune that would not be repeated until Mr Anderson hit the acid twenty years later. It still sounds so fresh and original, and while the work of his early seventies peers such as Deep Purple and The Sweet now sound like terribly dated novelty records, this sounds like it was recorded yesterday.
Whenever Bowie's catalogue is appraised, Diamond Dogs often slips off the radar as it is entirely self-contained and has neither the impact of Ziggy Stardust or the diversity of the fabled Berlin Trilogy, yet it could be argued that it out-scopes them all. And in terms of the influence it cast, you can bet that Depeche Mode, Muse and Marilyn Manson all have well thumbed copies of this record. Bowie is at his best when he is overblown and ridiculous, and here those qualities are to the fore. To finish, if you want an indication of how oblivious and monged out he was when he made this album, have a look at this picture:
Best Tracks: Sweet Thing, Rock 'n' Roll With Me, 1984
Best Moment: 1:05 into Sweet Thing. I can't do that. Neither can you.

This is my favourite Bowie album, too, and the first one I bought on the day of release when the record shop was unpacking the box they were delivered in. 🙂

I got for Christmas in '99 when I was 18. Not as impressive a story. Its a great record though.
Great album and true review but it's a myth bowie played lead on rebel rebel
Just Rebel Rebel and nothing else? Really, I've read a few times that he did the whole album. My sources may be dodgy.
Great review (and I couldn't agree more). Brings back many memories in that, Diamond Dogs was my introduction to Bowie (I was 13 at the time and ended up permanently "borrowing" my older brother's copy).

The Green group will be submitting a motion to Wednesday's (December 6th) full Council meeting calling for an investigation into why the Labour administration tried unsuccessfully to have Cllr Alison Teal sent to prison. However, they have found that the wording of the motion has been altered by Council Officers without their permission. The edited version of the motion removes reference to the Administration's attempt to incarcerate Alison Teal.
At November's Sheffield council meeting the Green Party group also attempted to submit this as an emergency motion, but it was was blocked on the advice of officers. This represents a pattern of recent efforts to shut down debate and marginalise opposition voices – including suspending the constitution to restrict the ability of opposition parties to present motions.
"We are shocked and alarmed at the Council's efforts to silence opposition voices. A strong opposition is vital to good democracy, and without proper scrutiny the Council runs the real risk of becoming unaccountable for its actions.
"Their most outrageous attempt to shut down their opponents was the failed attempt to commit Cllr Teal to prison. The reputational damage that this attempt to jail an opposition Councillor has done to the city is huge, and cannot go ignored.
"My motion is intended to shine a light on the culture of secrecy amongst the small group of councillors and officers running Sheffield Council. That this motion has itself been edited without my consent, in an attempt to hide the truth, is unacceptable.
"Further, the Council continues to attempt to avoid scrutiny by restricting the number of motions we are able to submit to Council, and continually debating national issues of which they have no control over. This attempt to deflect criticism and avoid talking about local issues shows a lack of responsibility.
"The case against Cllr Teal was rejected by the High Court judge without her even having to take to the witness stand. With costs running into the hundreds of thousands of pounds, this pointless and outrageous attempt to send an opposition Councillor to prison was an enormous waste of taxpayers' money.


"Premium protein mixture for maximum recovery"
Carbohydrates get a bad reputation for causing weight gain, but that's not the case. You actually need carbohydrates to sufficiently replenish your body after your workout—and help you lose weight. During exercise, your blood sugar levels drop and you lose glycogen, the stores of energy in your body. If there isn't enough glycogen left, your body will look to devour your reserve of muscle protein for energy.
The carbohydrates in One Recovery® restore your glycogen and insulin levels, helping replenish your energy, stabilize blood sugar, and kickstart your recovery. For even higher performance and a better recovery, prep with One PWO® and drink One Amino® while you workout. The faster you recover today, the better you perform tomorrow.
Mix one serving (1,5 scoops or 58 grams) with 300-400 ml water, milk or your favourite beverage. For maximum results, drink one serving immediately after physical activity.
Temper flavour by mixing with various amounts of liquid. For a sweeter, more full-bodied flavour, mix one serving with 300-400 ml of water per serving. For a milder taste, use 400-500 ml water per serving.
For maximum effect on muscle building and recovery combine with the One Pwo® (taken before training / pre-workout) and One Amino® (taken during the workout / post workout).
SHAKER: The best to keep your protein at hand at all times. Add one portion to 300-400 ml water, milk or your favourite beverage and shake for 25-30 seconds. If you do not have a shaker, you can design your own by choosing from over 1,000 different combinations of colours and sizes. Click here!
MIXER: Add one serving of One Recovery® to 300-500 ml water, milk or preferred beverage. Blend for 20-30 seconds. Add 3-4 ice cubes and blend for another 20 seconds or until the drink reaches desired consistency.
STACKED SHAKE: By adding fresh or frozen fruits, peanut butter, coconut oil or other nutritional ingredients and supplements like One Creatine® you can easily upgrade your shake into a nutritious meal with added benefits for muscle building, recovery and performance.
NOT JUST A DRINK: One Recovery® is good to mix with oatmeal, yoghurt or cereal milk. Increase the protein content of your pastries, muffins, cookies and brownies by adding 1 serving to your favourite recipes.
USE: Consume 2-3 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day by combining high-protein foods with supplements.
TIP: One Recovery® can be used in combination with other protein supplements. Combine slow-release protein like One Casein® with faster-acting protein such as One Whey® Isolate at different times for maximum effect. Use One Whey® Isolate at breakfast after an overnight fast for a quick boost in amino acid levels. Take One Casein® before going to bed and in between meals when slow protein absorption is preferable.
Cross-flow filtered whey protein isolate, corn starch (Vitargo®), aromas, maltodextrin, fructose, sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, stabilizer (xanthan gum), acidity regulator (citric acid), sweetener (acesulfame-K, sucralose).
Rest doesn't mean you're weak—it actually makes you stronger. After a fulfilling workout, your body needs time to restore and recover. One Recovery® is the ideal addition to your post-workout routine, giving your body the nutrients, proteins, and carbs it needs to rejuvenate.
Combining whey protein isolate, vitargo, and electrolytes that absorb fast One Recovery® gives you the ability to recover effectively and deliciously. Make tomorrow's gym session better, starting today.
Tiredness after exercise is a great feeling—it reminds you that you worked your hardest. But it also means it's time to rejuvenate your body and help it recover from what it's lost. Like a car that's low on fuel, your body doesn't run without nutrients.
During a workout, you burn carbs and sweat out electrolytes. Your post-workout regiment has to include carbs, electrolytes, and protein so you can recharge your body and prepare for your next swim, run, or lift. But don't forget protein. To hit your fitness and toning goals, protein is crucial for building muscle, replenishing your energy stores, and boosting your athletic performance. Drinking One Recovery within 30 minutes of your workout will help you regenerate your energy and feel better faster. Your body will thank you.
You need carbs after you work out. But not just any carbs—a piece of candy or a slice of bread won't do. One Recovery® is made up of ingredients that are tailored to enhance your recovery, starting with Vitargo®, the most efficient source of restoring lost glycogen levels. Combined with fructose, the carbohydrates are both fast-absorbing, meaning they provide you with energy to fill the void left after exercise faster than any other combination of carbs. Plus, One Recovery has ample levels of electrolytes to replenish everything you lose when you sweat.
But more than carbs and electrolytes to replenish your body, you need protein to fuel and empower you. One Recovery® has whey protein isolate, our premium, luxurious protein powder high in branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) that stimulates protein synthesis and leads to faster muscle growth than other proteins, like soy. Working together with carbs and electrolytes in an ideal combination, the ingredients in One Recovery® promote the fluid balance of the body and a healthier recovery.

Say goodbye to bad habits and say hello to the new year ahead. Cheers to looking ahead into 2018 and exceeding goals for your organization.
Tag Management is now in its later stages of awareness, adoption and deployment within the digital marketing space. If you're among those who are late adopters to this powerful solution it's officially time to hop on board. Putting customers at the center of everything a brand does is a strategy that is isn't going away anytime soon. Top brands are deploying tag management systems to not only deliver personalized experiences, but to also create more meaningful ones.
Tealium users around the globe have successfully deployed hundreds of tags on their sites which is enabling them to better collect, correlate and enrich customer data from multiple tools, touchpoints, and channels where their customers are interacting.
Are you working with a digital agency for your customer journey, website, automation, or analytics initiatives? You're in luck. A good strategic digital agency should be well versed in tag management and is likely certified with the multiple top choice solutions.
Make 2018 the year that you plan for the integration and implementation of a tag management solution tool into your business practices and start delivering even better experiences for your customers.
If you've been using a Tag Management System (TMS) for a few years you likely have tags that are getting old or have even been replaced. The benefit of a TMS is to be able to make multiple updates with only a few clicks as any robust TMS tool will be able to 'opt in' to the latest-and-greatest features and functionality to keep your tags and data clean and correlated. For example, Tealium's "Tag Status Checker" helps identify tag templates in need of an update. Google recently updated their suite of tags to use the new 'gtag.js' and Tealium now has these available in the Tealium iQ Tag Marketplace. As with any updates to a website we recommend testing and trying anything new out in a staging environment prior to going live.
Were you evaluating a vendor to add to your digital marketing stack, but as a result the tags were possibly never removed or shut off? Tealium iQ lets you know which tags are running (active) and will either pause or delete them.
Is there a digital marketing vendor on your site who is now redundant? For example you may have more than one analytics vendors, and while there may in fact be a case for running two, three or four is probably one too many. Keeping the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in mind, it becomes imperative to only send data to places where it needs to go. Removing a tag will make implementation simpler and may even result in other "AJAX" code running sooner on a page. Being more concise and simple with tags may result in greater overall results.
As 2018 approaches, vendors that you're working with may want to start running data through Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. Help them help you by sending them additional data points and other insights / analytics as it can potentially fuel predictive analytics and intelligent journey mapping based on the data.
Ensure you fully understand what your TMS has to offer and how it can be used to help your visitors manage their privacy settings. Make sure you're marking applicable data as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and protecting against data leakage.
Our Digital Velocity event series is practical, inspirational, and a generally good time. Tealium now hosts these events that are designed to inspire, transform and activate attendees all over the world — and the customer success stories that are presented at these events are truly invaluable. But don't take my word for it, check out this highlight reel from the most recent Digital Velocity San Francisco event.
Take a sip and celebrate. You made it through another year, and if you keep those seven resolutions in mind, you will set yourself up for a year of new innovation, strategic decisions that will have great impact and best of all new beginnings that will lead to success. May 2018 bring you the promise of innovation!

Uninstalling apps from Bluestacks is a simple process, but a complete uninstallation process may take additional operations to finish. Note, that Bluestacks creates a virtual operating system and emulates a running Android OS on your PC. This means that the vast majority of applications that you install on your PC are not registered in your main OS. If you need to uninstall an app, Bluestacks App Player functionality is usually enough.
There are two main methods of uninstalling an application in Android OS. The first method is using an icon dragging from your main screen or Menu screen.
Click "OK" in the pop-up window and finish the installation process. This will take a few seconds. Note, that some data will not be removed from your Bluestacks folder.
The second method is uninstallation from the Settings menu of your Bluestacks android emulator.
Go to "Settings -> APPS".
Choose the application that you want to uninstall and click it.
Click the uninstall button and then confirm the action by hitting the "OK" button in the pop-up window.
Using the second method is preferable as it usually removes data from your hard drive completely, which is not true when removing the app from your screen by dragging the icon. Note, that it is highly recommended to clear cache in Bluestacks before uninstalling the application. This helps to make the drive empty and get rid of files that you do not need after you uninstall and application.
You can also use special uninstallation applications available in Google Play Store. However, we would recommend you to simply remove apps by using Settings menu.

Over more than 20 years of doing small group ministry, I've learned this: There are many skills and techniques you can learn to help you lead a good group. But nothing else even comes close to the magnitude of the first vital sign of a healthy group.
A healthy group is Christ-centered. Christ is the real leader, and the group is primarily focused on him, experiencing his presence, carrying out his purposes, and living by his power. This is where group health starts, because all the other vital signs are dependent upon how well you as a leader keep Christ at the center of your life and your group. When you put yourself or anyone or anything else at the center of the group you'll lack the power to accomplish much of anything.
So here are 4 specific ways you can make your group more Christ-centered.
1. Recognize His Presence. I begin every meeting with a worshipful prayer, recognizing Christ's presence with us and his leadership of the group. I sometimes include Matthew 18:20 in my prayer, remembering that Jesus said that whenever two or more come together in his name, he is actually there in our midst. Then I watch for what he does during our meeting. It's sometimes easy for me to forget that Christ is actually there in our midst throughout the meeting. He does not leave us during the Bible study. His Spirit is there to help us understand and apply his Word. He certainly does not forsake us during our prayer time. He hears each of our requests, so we don't have to repeat them back to him at the end!
2. Depend on His Power. I find that many groups need to learn to take members' hurts and problems to Jesus, not just to one another. I often hear concerned group members give all kinds of advice for a person's personal issues during the sharing of prayer concerns. As the leader, ask members to simply listen, and then take the concerns to Jesus—not to a recommended book, a miracle diet or exercise program, a referred doctor, or even a platitudinous Bible verse.
3. Seek His Purposes. "What are Christ's purposes for our group?" Begin with that question and then study the Great Commission and other passages. Ask, "Why did Jesus say he came into the world?" (to seek and save the lost), and then remind the group that just as the Father sent him into the world, so he sends us into the world (John 17:18). Ask the group to imagine some big ways you as a group could make an impact on your community. Ask them to imagine something so big that if God isn't in it, it would be destined to fail. Then read Ephesians 3:20, and make some God-sized plans!
4. Move Beyond Study. As you open God's Word as a small group, don't just study Jesus as the historical figure of antiquity. Move beyond discussion about the stories of what Jesus did, to talk about—better yet, experience—what he is doing. He is indeed present in your group meetings—right now. Recognizing this will make all the difference in your group.

Colwyn Bay postcard: The Ambush of King Richard II
Granite postcard: The Ambush of King Richard II
This granite postcard on the prom at Colwyn Bay relates to the ambush of King Richard II at the eastern end of the bay in 1399.
The ambush happened near Penmaen Head, the rocky headland which you can see in the distance if you look across the bay from here. Click here to read our web page about Penmaen Head.
Richard II was born in Bordeaux, France, in 1367. His father was Edward "the Black Prince", whose own father was King Edward III. Richard was just 10 years old when he became king. Initially his uncle, John of Gaunt, was the effective ruler.
Many of Richard's policies were unpopular with Parliament. Resentment deepened when John of Gaunt died in February 1399 and Richard confiscated property which would otherwise have gone to John's son Henry Bolingbroke.
Richard spent the following summer in Ireland. In his absence, Henry gathered influential supporters, some of whom ambushed Richard as he was making his way back from Ireland along the North Wales coast. Richard was deposed in September and died in February 1400. Henry ruled as King Henry IV until his death in 1413.
Richard's story is told in one of William Shakespeare's history plays, titled The Tragedy of King Richard the Second.

PHILADELPHIA – Police in Philadelphia say there were signs of a struggle inside the ransacked, off-campus apartment where a Temple University student was found shot to death.
Officers found Daniel Duignam, a 21-year-old student at Temple's Fox School of Business, shot in the chest, groin and forearm shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Homicide Capt. Jack Ryan tells The Philadelphia Inquirer there was no sign of forced entry in Duignam's first-floor apartment and investigators don't believe it was a random act.
He wouldn't speculate on a possible motive.
Duignam was from Tatamy, Pennsylvania, about 55 miles (88 kilometers) north of Philadelphia. His grandfather was the mayor.

Chan and Fitz give and take
Posted by Chris Brown on November 29, 2012 – 9:10 am
Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has discussions with head coach Chan Gailey each and every week after Gailey and his staff formulate the game plan. Fitzpatrick shed some light on the ways they interact and discuss what utilized most and least in the game plan each week.
"I sat down and talked with him Tuesday and Wednesday," said Fitzpatrick. "We talked about stuff, and we're focused on these last five games, I think that's the most important thing. It's very important in these last five games to show the progress that we think we've made in the last few years. There has been progress. We think we are much better, but we've got to be able to go out there and do it, show it on the field."
With respect to the game plan Fitzpatrick says after it's put together by the staff Gailey and he discuss the elements of the offensive plan.
"They come up with all kinds of different ideas and different ways they want to attack different personnel groupings and things like that," he said. "Usually, we'll sit down in our Wednesday morning meeting, and he'll go over everything that they've installed and put in. We'll kinda talk about comfort level, what we like and what we don't like, and tinker with stuff during the week, if we feel like there are some changes to be made, whether it's third down, red zone or the regular down and distance stuff."

Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer 4 or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God's work—which is by faith. 5 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 6 Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk. 7 They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.


This is the beginning of the end for him. He's been a non-factor since he got to NY. And that's being generous. He's been weak defensively, has no physical component to his game, and has done nothing to help the power play or join the rush on offense. Someone will replace him in the lineup, hopefully McQuaid very soon, and he'll never get back in.
The Rangers paid a premium price to sign him, and they'll be selling him off (trade away) for a very low return. Awful deal.
I totally agree didn't like it when they signed him and like it even less than that after watching him play here. The guys a dog. Sooner they rid themselves of him the better.
Location: Lincoln, Nebraska What a nightmare homecoming this has been for him. A shame he didn't realize how good he had it in STL.
Yep. Another colossal Gorton fukkkkup.
Don't want to see anyone injured but, YAY!!!!!
I thought we were a better team without him when he was the healthy scratch in game 3 of the season against the Sharks. Addition by subtraction.
Location: Delaware, USA OK, quick, name one defense man signed from another team that has worked out well. Last five years? Last 10 years? Last 20 years? Last 50 years? I'll give you Beukeboom, Lowe, Lidster and Rosival. Outside of that we have Poti, Rachunek, Redden, Morris, Yandle, etc.

Not an impressive list number wise, and none of them were the "power play QB" type that they've been endlessly hunting for.
I would add Matt Schneider too.Played pretty well his few years here.

America's enduring exceptionalism
August 27, 2013 admin Analysis and Opinions, Culture, History 0
By James Pethokoukis
Is America just cosmically lucky? All that stuff we tell ourselves about American exceptionalism, maybe it's merely the self-serving mythology of a people born on third base but absolutely sure they hit a triple. The "special snowflake" syndrome on a national scale.
That's the question asked — and kind of answered, really — by writer Benjamin Wallace-Wells in his nearly 5,000-word New York magazine story "The Blip." The subtitle: "What if everything we've come to think of as American is predicated on a freak coincidence of economic history? And what if that coincidence has run its course?"
The piece is based on a much-debated 2012 research paper "Is U.S. Economic Growth Over?" and includes a mini-profile of the paper's author, Northwestern University economist Robert Gordon, whom Wallace-Wells portrays as a weepy, wistful seventysomething professor spending the final years of a distinguished academic career waking his countrymen to an awful reality: The New Normal is permanent and our expectations must be permanently lowered.
Gordon's thesis is that we will not tweet ourselves out of our great stagnation. He argues that the 4,000 percent increase in the West's standard of living since the mid 18th century was driven by a series of random, one-off technological innovations — the cotton gin, railroads, electricity, public sanitation — whose impact and scope will never be matched by whatever Google has coming down the pike. And free-riding Americans have drafted off the "historically singular event" of the Industrial Revolution for 237 years, Wallace-Wells writes, resulting in "our laissez-faire-ism; our can-do-ism; the optimistic cast of our religiosity, which persisted even when other Western nations turned toward atheism; our cult of the individual." Obama's "you didn't built that" jab as macro theory, in other words.
If treated as premonishment rather than predestination, Gordon's argument should motivate. America isn't entitled to ever-increasing prosperity, after all, or to keep getting richer as fast as it used to. What we do matters. The quality of economic policy matters. A 2013 study from economists John Dawson and John Seater, for instance, estimates that the past 50 years of federal regulations have reduced real U.S. GDP growth by roughly two percentage points a year on average, from 5 percent to 3 percent. That is, "GDP at the end of 2011 would have been $53.9 trillion instead of $15.1 trillion if regulation had remained at its 1949 level," the authors conclude. If America were that rich it might even be able to afford Obamacare. And with the economy of 2080 in 2013, we might even have those flying cars.
Going forward, it will take smarter tax, regulation, health, infrastructure, and education policy for America to grow as fast as it did in the past, or even close. America is getting older; labor-force growth is slowing. In designing policy, we should assume the recent productivity slowdown is a problem rather than a pause.
It probably isn't, though. Who wants to bet against another incredible wave of game-changing innovation — genetics, robotics, nanotech, artificial intelligence — not to mention better use of the current IT revolution? What's more, as Asia and Africa catch up to the West, we'll have billions of additional educated minds coming on line ready to invent and innovate — as long as societies are open to accepting those innovations and the creative destruction they bring.
And it's that last point that "The Blip" fails to grasp when it urges a focus shift to wealth inequality from wealth creation. Consider: Maybe the Industrial Revolution didn't just randomly happen, with America fortuitously emerging at roughly the same time, able to exploit its technological fruits. Maybe starting in the mid 1700s, the Dutch and the English and then, most completely, Americans started thinking and acting differently toward innovators and the commerce class.
The West, as economist Deirdre McCloskey puts it, started treating "marketeers and inventors as having some dignity and liberty. . . . This contrasted with the earlier mentality, still admired on the left, that treats each act of innovation as an occasion to go looking for its victims. Victims there were, but they were greatly outnumbered by winners."
America's ideals drove our success, not the other way around. And as long as we don't forget or abandon that formula, the American experiment should be in no danger of demise.

Q: How to create Mapbox Tileset from PDF I've the floor plan for a building in PDF. I'm trying to upload this into Mapbox as a tileset but I'm having a lot of confusion regarding the conversion.
How should I approach this?
P.S. since I'm new to GIS, please provide detailed explanations

A: Does the PDF have building footprints or any other geographic information? Do you have access to ArcMap? If so, you could export the PDF to a GeoTIFF (public domain metadata standard or type of tagged image file format that allows georeferencing information to be embedded within a TIFF). After that initial conversion is complete Mapbox would then be able to ingest the GeoTIFF. If you do not have access to ArcMap you will need to find another way to convert the PDF to a GeoTIFF (I did some research and did not find another alternative).
Moving forward, to upload a new Tileset into Studio it should be in one of the following formats: "MBTiles, KML, GPX, GeoJSON, Shapefile (zipped), or CSV to convert it into vector tiles or upload a GeoTIFF to convert it into raster tiles". This information can be found in the Home section of studio when you click on "Tilesets".
Here is a PDF to TIFF workflow for ArcMap 10.3:
http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.3/tools/conversion-toolbox/pdf-to-tiff.htm
Hope that helps!

A: just use QGIS with QMetaTiles to create an mbtiles of your Tiff
I would convert your GeoPDF to Tiff first with GDAL_Translate
gdal_translate -of "GTiff" -co "COMPRESS=LZW" -r cubic "path\source.pdf" "path\output.tif
Another option if you have Global Mapper it's great reading GeoPDF and can write to TMS/XYZ and mbtiles formats

It isn't just laptops at Macy's this morning. Dell also has a handful of desktops to unveil. But before you let the hype wash over you like the afterglow of a Steve Jobs keynote, today is also a little bittersweet for us PC enthusiasts, since it marks the demise of Dell's Dimension home desktops. In Dimension's place, we get four new Inspiron desktops, which, along with the Inspiron laptops, will represent the mainstream half of Dell's product lineup. XPS will take up the high-end space.
And so will Alienware (ahem).
The new Inspiron desktops come in AMD and Intel variants, each with an option for either a midtower or a slim, small chassis. We have a review of the Athlon 64 X2 5000-equipped Inspiron 531 here. We liked that one quite a bit, not least because it's fast and will have an integrated Bluetooth option a week or so following the launch. We're expecting an Inspiron 531s to arrive later this week. We also have previews of the Intel models, the Inspiron 530 and the 530s.
Unlike the new laptops, these new desktops don't have significant technology changes. We mentioned the Bluetooth option. We're also happy to see that, finally, Dell will offer PCI 802.11 a/b/g cards. Sure, it's not Draft N, but until today, your only wireless networking option for a Dell was either aftermarket, or by adding a full-blown Wi-Fi router to your Dell shopping cart along with your desktop.

Biden HIV/AIDS strategy calls racism 'public health threat'
Aamer Madhani, Associated Press

The Biden administration in its new HIV/AIDS strategy calls racism "a public health threat" that must be fully recognized as the world looks to end the epidemic.
The strategy released Wednesday on the annual commemoration of World AIDS Day is meant to serve as a framework for how the administration intends to shape its policies, research, programs and planning over the next three years. President Joe Biden was scheduled to deliver remarks later Wednesday to mark World AIDS Day.
"The president remains deeply committed to ensuring that those with HIV are treated with equity and dignity," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.
The new strategy asserts that over generations "structural inequities have resulted in racial and ethnic health disparities that are severe, far-reaching, and unacceptable."
Omicron brings COVID-19 vaccine inequity 'home to roost'
The more COVID-19 spreads among unvaccinated populations, the more possibilities it has to mutate and potentially become more dangerous, prolonging the pandemic for everyone.
New HIV infections in the U.S. fell about 8% from 2015 to 2019, but Black and Latino communities — particularly gay and bisexual men within those groups — continue to be disproportionately affected, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.
African Americans make up about 13% of the U.S. population but accounted for more than 40% of new infections. The Latino population accounted for nearly 25% of new infections but makes up about 18.5% of the U.S. population.
Historically, gay and bisexual men have been the most disproportionately affected group. They account for about 66% of new HIV infections, even though they account for only 2% of the population, according to the CDC. In 2019, 26% of new HIV infections were among Black gay and bisexual men, 23% among Latino gay and bisexual men, and 45% among gay and bisexual men under the age of 35.
To reduce the disparities, the strategy includes calls for focusing on the needs of disproportionately affected populations, supporting racial justice, combating HIV-related stigma and discrimination and providing leadership and employment opportunities for people with or at risk for HIV.
What the AIDS crisis can teach us about the COVID pandemic response
Today is World AIDS Day, an annual opportunity to show support for people living with HIV and honor those who have died from AIDS-related illnesses.
Besides addressing racism's impact on Americans battling the virus or at risk of contracting it, the new strategy also puts greater emphasis on harm reduction and syringe service programs, encourages reform of state laws that criminalize behavior of people with HIV for potentially exposing others and adds focus on the needs of the growing population of people with HIV who are aging.
More than 36 million people worldwide, including 700,000 in the U.S., have died from AIDS-related illnesses since the start of the epidemic more than 40 years ago. Nearly 38 million people are living with HIV, including 1.2 million in the U.S.
The Biden administration recently announced it will host the Global Fund to Fight AIDS replenishment conference next year. The United States has contributed about $17 billion to the fund, about a third of all donor contributions.
A giant red ribbon, a symbol of support for people living with HIV, was displayed on the North Portico of the White House to mark World AIDS Day. The two-story ribbon display has become an annual tradition at the White House since 2007.
"Honored to continue this tradition on #WorldAidsDay, remembering the lives lost to HIV/AIDS and supporting those living with the virus across the world," First lady Jill Biden said in a Twitter posting that included a photo of her posing in front of the ribbon display.

The trip was awesome! Too many amazing things to list, but each of the performance venues that we chose for this trip were PHENOMENAL.
The clinic was just so wonderful - Nancy Shankman [Music Education Faculty at NYU] was just incredible. Performing at the UN was really special. And the Cathedral of St. John the Divine was a once in a life-time moment.
And then so many more awesome things every day on the trip.


first of all, let me assure you that I am not in Japan at the moment. I am not sure if this was clear from my previous posts, but I left Japan last year in September, as my exchange ended then, and am in Germany at the moment.
I do, however, have plenty of friends in Japan. My foreign friends have almost all left the country by now, but the Japanese ones can't (and won't) do that so easily. So far, everyone seems safe, as Tokyo wasn't hit as hard as the Touhoku area, but I am still worried a lot about possible new quakes, and also the atom reactors in Fukushima.
At the moment, it seems like there is nothing we can do but wait and encourage our friends. I donated to various organizations, although only a bit so far, as I don't have much money on my bank account at the moment, and once my friends tell me the postal system is back to normal, I am planning on sending some food and maybe daily goods or warm clothes over.
This is a difficult time, and although I still read some cosmetics blogs in order to distract myself, and try to live my normal life (still two term papers to hand in!), I hope you will understand that I won't update for a while.
I have some notes for posts, like a skincare report on an acne relief cream, but those will have to wait.
I am very sorry, but my energy goes to supporting my friends and also at least trying to finish my papers, plus the whole stress made me a bit weak, leading me to not being able to fight down a cold.
It is unbelievable how just last week, I was out sightseeing with a Japanese friend from the Touhoku area, everything being fine, and suddenly, she will return home to the area being almost completey destroyed. Seeing as I visited her home just last summer, this makes me really sad. A few months ago, I was still living in Japan... unimaganeable.
I understand that not all of you are concerned with Japan, and not everyone can donate, but please try to show as much support as you can, without being too worried or having your normal life affected.
