Deep Silver Volition (скорочено: Volition; раніше Volition, Inc і Parallax Software Corporation) - виробник комп'ютерних ігор для ігрових консолей і комп'ютерів . Volition і компанія Outrage Entertainment утворилася після поділу Parallax Software (розробника ігор серії Descent).

Volition розробила серію ігор Descent: FreeSpace,що видавалася Interplay Entertainment . Після банкрутства Interplay компанію у вересні 2000 року придбав видавець відеоігор THQ.

Після цього компанія випустила гри Red Faction, Summoner, The Punisher і Saints Row .

У січні 2013 Koch Media купила компанію разом з торговою маркою Saints Row.

Історія
Коли Interplay Entertainment був видавцем, Volition Inc розробила серію космічних симуляторів FreeSpace. Коли Interplay збанкрутував, Volition Inc була придбана компанією THQ в вересні 2000 року. З тих пір, Volition Inc розробила кілька лінійок ігор включаючи серії Red Faction, серії Summoner, The Punisher і серії Saints Row.

Insane, гра, розроблена у співпраці з Гільєрмо дель Торо була анонсована в 2010 році на Spike Video Game Awards, але Volition припинила розробку в 2012 році. Дель Торо з тих пір оголосив, що Insane все ще перебуває в стадії розробки.

Коли THQ заявив про банкрутство, ряд компаній проявили інтерес до активів THQ. Генеральний менеджер Volition Inc., Ден Чермак сказав, що Warner Bros., Electronic Arts, Take-Two, Ubisoft, Deep Silver і безіменна група з Чикаго, відвідували студію протягом декількох тижнів попередніх продажу. Зрештою, Volition була придбана компанією Koch Media за 22,3 мільйона доларів США. Єдиною ставкою, крім попередньої була від Ubisoft. (5.4 мільйона доларів США)

Volition був другим найдорожчим активом THQ, проданим в ході аукціону (після Relic Entertainment ). На ціну багато в чому вплинув успіх таких ігор, як Saints Row: The Third, продані копії якої, до початку 2012 року склали 4 мільйонів екземплярів. THQ також стверджував, що DLC гри продавалися краще, ніж очікувалося.

В рамках продажу активів THQ в січні 2013, Volition Inc і франшизи Saints Row були придбані компанією Koch Media.

Politico – President Barack Obama, who's under fire from Republicans and some in the press for failing to schedule the usual leader-to-leader meetings during his United Nations visit this week, did meet briefly on Tuesday with the president of Yemen and the secretary-general of the United Nations, according to the White House.
Obama dropped in on a meeting Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan was having with Yemeni President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi at the U.N., Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters on Air Force One as Obama returned to Washington Tuesday afternoon.


Don was raised in rural Southern Tier of New York State and Northern Pennsylvania, living on farms and always surrounded by dogs and horses.
Sara (Dodge) was born and raised in the small town of Sodus NY near Lake Ontario. Animals were always part of the household, including litters of hunting beagles. Sara purchased her first horse when she was 16 and has been riding ever since.
While we were both in the US Navy and stationed at NAF Lajes Field, the Azores, Portugal, a neighbor had a litter of Dalmatian puppies - and the rest is history.
Panda was that first Dalmatian and you can follow Don and Sara's progression of dogs by viewing "Dogs of Our Past".

| CPF President Participates in Electoral College
CPF President Participates in Electoral College
CPF President Lou Paulson holds up ballots to be cast in CA Electoral College
On Monday December 17th, electors gathered at the State Capitol in Sacramento, and in other capitals around the nation, to place the constitutionally required period at the end of the 2012 presidential election.
CPF President Lou Paulson joined 54 other select Californians to participate in the Electoral College. The quadrennial ceremonial event ratifies the result in all 50 state contests for president, formally polling "electors" on the presidential and vice-presidential results.
In California, as in every other state, the Electoral College is made up of one delegate for each congressional district, as well as two delegates representing the two U.S. senators. President Paulson served as a delegate representing the 23rd Congressional District.
"It's an honor to be asked to participate in this historic tradition," said Paulson.
The actual vote itself took place in the Assembly chambers at the Capitol. Individual ballots for president and vice president were distributed to the electors, who cast their votes for Barack Obama and Joseph Biden, representing the statewide result in the November presidential election.
The result from each state election is transmitted to Washington, where Congress will conduct a count and certify the election of Barack Obama and Joseph Biden to a second term as president and vice president.

get the hospital up and running," says Jimmy Aumont, the hospital's maintenance manager.
We just got it done
"I get emotional when I think about the people who lost so much, and who still volunteered to take on this challenge. It was a lot of work, but we got it done.
Monique Janes, a patient
care director at
Northern Lights,
says getting
open was
critical. "The
couldn't come
back if we didn't
have a hospital,"
says "We needed it
open, for our community."
Such efforts were
duplicated across the city
to make it safe for people to
return.
Workers at the city's grocery stores, for example, emptied shelves of everything but canned goods. Restaurant workers threw out and replenished their supplies.
Water systems were tested and air quality monitored.
"People in Fort McMurray were dealing with a lot, and we didn't need them to get sick on top of that," says Janine Steinkey, a public health inspector with AHS Environmental Public Health.
"It's unlike anything I've
ever experienced before. The
teamwork that came forward
. . . everybody worked
together with one common
run the organization's
response efforts from the
North Zone Emergency
Operations Centre
in Westlock.
"There were the immediate concerns that we had to look after right away––ensuring people still in Fort McMurray were looked after, making sure those who needed health services could get them," Pusch says.
And while AHS had evacuated 73 hospital patients (including nine newborns and their mothers) and
32 continuing care residents in less than two hours from Northern Lights on May 3, it took considerable planning to bring people back to the hospital.
"It was one thing to evacuate patients safely, but it was another to plan and prepare for their return," Pusch says.
Three weeks after the evacuation, the hospital's emergency department was caring for patients; seven weeks after, the entire hospital was operating fully.
"It was unbelievable to see
the support from staff and
vendors, who stepped up
to do whatever it took to
cleaned from top to bottom.
More than 500 contractors replaced every one of the site's 8,200 ceiling tiles. They ripped up carpets, sterilized and restarted equipment, flushed the water system, repainted walls, replaced ceiling lights and cleaned every inch of the facility.
Elsewhere in the city, environmental health inspectors visited hundreds of buildings, including hotels, restaurants and grocery stores, making sure structures were safe and helping people restore services.
Across the province, thousands of evacuees at reception centres were cared for and supported. Every Fort McMurray resident was given an information package before they returned; Health Link nurses took call after call from people concerned about their health, and to what they may be returning.
As people came back to Fort McMurray, public health staff worked out of ATCO trailers for weeks, immunizing residents, offering new moms advice on breastfeeding, and caring for wounds, among many other services.
"There were a lot of
different moving parts,"
says Shelly Pusch, who—as
the chief zone officer for
AHS's North Zone––helped
goal: to make sure everybody
was safe and to get residents
back here."
Much of the work was
carried out by local people
who were unable to visit their
homes to assess the damage,
and away from family. Others
had their homes damaged
or destroyed. They stayed

"I am extremely proud of the tireless dedication of our healthcare workers in helping the community recover from the devastating fire," says Alberta Health Minister Sarah Hoffman.
"Ensuring people were safe
when they returned to Fort
McMurray was paramount,
and I am grateful for the
efforts of all involved."
For Dave Matear, being
part of Fort McMurray's
recovery was a given.
"I was adamant that I wanted to be a part of the effort to rebuild the community and be involved in whatever we were doing.
"A lot of people felt that way. This is our home, and we wanted to make it safe for our neighbours to return home." |a

The rhinoplasty consultation is a vital step in the journey to having successful nose surgery. Having a rhinoplasty surgeon who regularly performs rhinoplasty surgery examine your nose and assess how it relates to your overall facial features is invaluable. In fact, it is typically a good idea to go to two or three consultations in order to gather the most information about your options. Often surgeons will have varying approaches and recommendations about how to proceed with treatment. The consultation process will allow you to become as well-informed and educated as possible, allowing you to choose the surgeon that works best for you.
During your rhinoplasty consultation Dr. Lamperti will have you personally describe what specific concerns you have with your nose. This includes general characteristics such as overall nasal size, width, asymmetry, and shape in addition to more specific areas such as tip shape and orientation (tip bulbosity, droopy tip, upturned tip); bridge shape (dorsal hump, under-projected bridge, saddle nose deformity); columellar position (excess columellar show, hanging columella, columellar retraction). Next, Dr. Lamperti will ask you about any functional nasal breathing problems,prior nasal surgery or trauma, and allergy symptoms. He will also carefully examine the external nose to assess its aesthetics and see how it relates to the rest of the face. Dr. Lamperti will also evaluate your nasal passages to see if there are any issues with your septum, turbinates, or external/internal nasal valves that need to be addressed.
Once Dr. Lamperti has completed his assessment he will discuss your treatment options and which features of your nose could be changed with rhinoplasty surgery. Dr. Lamperti can also take medical photos during your consultation and perform a digital morphing to simulate potential rhinoplasty results. This process provides valuable insight as to how various changes to the nose affect overall facial aesthetics. No two rhinoplasties are exactly the same and so the surgical plan will be unique for every patient. Nasal shape, breathing ability and rhinoplasty goals need to be established individually during each consultation process.
Once your customized surgical plan is formulated post-surgery expectations and recovery are discussed. Dr. Lamperti will also review the before and after results of other patients that he has operated on to allow you to better determine his overall aesthetic and see what type of real-world results are possible.

A memorable Knight for Testa

All the pieces fell into place for Luca Testa at the Ontario Hockey League draft Friday.
The 16-year-old, Grimsby resident was hoping to be picked by an organization close to home that was committed to winning and he got both when he was selected with the 15th pick of the first round by the London Knights.
"Hearing your name called 15th overall by the London Knights especially was an absolute honour," Testa said. "I know they are an exceptional organization. They produce amazing players at the OHL level and NHL level.
"I was hoping I would go to London and it came true."
Testa said he was able to share the moment with his parents, Massimo and Silvia, twin sister Vanessa and other members of his extended family.
"There was a lot of yelling and screaming," he said. "I had a couple of people recording it. It was a special moment. I'm so happy I had it captured on camera. I had my cousins coming up and giving me big hugs. I obviously hugged my dad first and my mom.
"I'm just so grateful."
Testa said he tried to remain calm as the draft progressed.
"I didn't want to worry my parents too much," he said. "It was an unbelievable experience that I'll hold forever."
He credits his sister, who is a top-notch soccer player, with always being there for him.
"She's been there throughout my life supporting me when times were hard," he said. "She's an amazing sister and I have amazing parents. I couldn't ask for a better family."
Testa will get a chance to see the Knights in person Sunday afternoon when they host him for a playoff game versus the Kitchener Rangers.
"I'll get to meet all the guys hopefully and get a feel for it. I know they have the best fan base in all of the OHL so hopefully I get to hear them scream a bit," he said. "It will be exciting."
Testa had a remarkable 2021-2022 season for the Niagara North Stars leading the South Central AAA U16 loop in goals (34), assists (25) and points (59) and was named SCTA Player of the Year.
He is continuing his season with the St. Catharines Falcons of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League where he has accumulated 10 points in seven playoff games and has often been one of the best players on the ice.
"Luca is a very complete player," Falcons coach Tyler Bielby said. "He uses his size, skill, and powerful skating to his full advantage. He takes pride in his own zone which is great to see in a young player.
"He has been a big part of our playoff run so far. He dominated in Game 4 of our last series and I think put a lot of hockey people on notice with his performance."
Bielby is also impressed with Testa off the ice.
"He is fun to watch and be around. As much as his hockey skill and IQ stand out, I am equally impressed with the way he handles his business," Bielby said. "This young man is wise beyond his years. He practices very strong emotional intelligence. You do not see him get too high or too low. He is always focused on the task at hand and uses his mental toughness to always prepare for this next shift.
"He may say thank you more than he says anything else. I tip my cap to the village that raised him, because I'm a big believer that it's his character traits that will allow him to continue finding success."
Testa was one of eight players with local ties who was selected in the draft.
Other locals selected were:
— Callum Cheynowski, Southern Tier Admirals, third round, 63rd overall by the Hamilton Bulldogs.
— Andrew Vermeulen, Niagara North Stars, fourth round, 71st overall by the Niagara IceDogs.
— Parker Forlin, Niagara North Stars, fourth round, 73rd overall by the Barrie Colts.
— Lucas Tuin, Niagara North Stars, sixth round, 113th overall by the Peterborough Petes.
— Dominic DiFrancesco, Niagara North Stars, 14th round, 280th overall by the Flint Firebirds.
— Finn Wilson, Niagara North Stars, 15th round, 287th overall by the London Knights.
— Cameron Robillard, Niagara North Stars, 15th round, 296th overall by the Mississauga Steelheads.

you need to read and reflect on what you read. This needs to be at least 1-2 pages long. Pick something from the book that struck you or that you want to address and talk about more (bring that up in class). Reflect on this. How does it connect to you? Your time here at Dom Unversity ?
This should not be a difficult task, as long as you are reading, thinking, and take a few notes here and there. Bring your thoughts to class and share. This is like a seminar.
I need help in Chem as soon as possible.
How can we explain this paradox: 'It is the deviants among us who hold society together'?

MSC Garners Industry Recognition in Thailand
The company looks to future growth with recent award and expanded office in Laem Chabang
MSC Thailand's Commercial Manager, Viroj Rekacharoenphan (right) receiving the award on behalf of MSC from the Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand, Mr Jurin Laksanawisit.
MSC Thailand has recently been voted as the '2019 Best Container Line from Thailand to Europe' by local shippers, in an annual award organised by the Thailand National Shippers' Council. This is a special and meaningful win as the result was determined through votes by over 500 Thai shippers, and MSC emerged with the top score on a set of criteria including reliability, service quality, pricing, availability and document accuracy.
Peter Blohm, Managing Director at MSC Thailand, is extremely proud of this win. He said, "It's fantastic to see our hard work being recognised by the industry, and to emerge as the best line of choice to Europe. It also comes at an exciting time for the company as we will soon open a bigger office in Laem Chabang."
About MSC in Thailand
MSC Thailand opened its first branch in Bangkok in February 2001, but prior to that, MSC had been doing business in the country for several years with the help of a third-party agent. Over the years, MSC has expanded its staff strength and office size.
To capitalise on growing market potential, MSC also subsequently set up offices in Songkla (Southern Thailand) and a vessel operations office in Laem Chabang port (Eastern Thailand), and as from 1 November 2019, the company will establish a bigger Laem Chabang branch office to provide a broader range of commercial services.
"Thailand is a very interesting market because it has it all: deep sea terminals, inland depots, barge terminals, and at MSC we pride ourselves on offering shipping and door-to-door logistics services to our customers, enabling them to move cargo anywhere in the world. Laem Chabang, with its deepsea ports, is an important area for us and our new, expanded office will allow us to provide more efficient and direct service to our customers here," adds Peter.
MSC is also continuously looking at global developments and launching new services to meet evolving market demands. As an addition to our already extensive portfolio of services, MSC launched a new Intra-Asia Seagull service in March to provide direct access to Vietnam and China for Thai shippers.

Letter From Detroit
Is There Room for Black People in the New Detroit?
By SUZETTE HACKNEY
Suzette Hackney is an editorial writer and columnist for The Blade in Toledo. She was a Detroit-based journalist for 17 years. Follow her on Twitter: @suzyscribe.
On a sunny Tuesday earlier this month, I watched from the picture window of one of Detroit's new and hip West Village eateries as children whizzed by on scooters, smiling couples walked their designer dogs and tattooed millennials chatted among themselves while smoking both electronic and tobacco-laced cigarettes.
The corner of Agnes and Parker streets is a vibrant microcosm of Detroit's so-called urban pioneer movement. And inside the restaurant named Craft Work, the long high-top tables and bar stools were nearly filled to capacity with folks sipping on specialty cocktails and noshing on warm chickpeas and fish tacos. The whole scene was a far cry from when I lived in the adjoining apartment building in the early 2000s, when darkened gas lights helped obscure the vacant store fronts of the former retail strip. There were no pop-ups to attract people, and the limited foot traffic was mostly from those who lived in my building or the one across the street, and were walking to or from the secured parking lots.
But this is the new Detroit.
I'm not writing this letter from afar; I live 45 minutes south of the city in Toledo, Ohio. Detroit is where I lived, worked and played until two years ago, when I left the city to accept a journalism fellowship at the University of Michigan. I was a newspaper reporter in Detroit from 1996 to 2012. I worked for both dailies, but spent most of my career at the Detroit Free Press covering City Hall, crime, neighborhoods and the run-up to the appointment of the city's emergency manager, who in July 2013 filed bankruptcy on behalf of Detroit and last week handed back management of the city to the mayor and city council.
I still own a home in an inner-ring suburb, less than a mile from the city proper. My network of friends remains in Detroit, and in many ways I still consider the Motor City my home base. But I must admit that leaving Detroit has given me a chance to step back and observe with a journalistic eye the city's transformation, a luxury often not possible when I was reporting on murders and the city's budget crisis every day.

Can Bill Clinton's Charity Empire Survive a Hillary Presidency?
By MATTHEW BISHOP
Every time I return to the city, the landscape has changed: Where once was a vandalized shell of a building, there's a new coffee shop here or a high-end clothing boutique there. Whole Foods opened in Midtown last year, the first national food retailer to invest in the city in years. The market is boosting local businesses by carrying Detroit-made products on its shelves. And the upscale Shinola hawks its thousand-dollar watches, leather goods and bicycles in a renovated century-old automobile warehouse near Wayne State University. A new hockey arena, entertainment district and streetcar system are coming online. Most of this development is occurring in downtown, Midtown and Corktown—areas that have seen significant progress in the last decade—and trickling into neighborhoods such as West Village, located on one edge of the city's central business district. There's a palpable energy; Detroit's decades of urban decay are finally giving way to reinvestment and revitalization.
Still a question looms: Is there room for low income residents to benefit from the dazzling reinvention of their city?
Newlyweds Michael and Tia Hilson are long-time Detroiters, living in the low-income MarketPlace Court apartments near Eastern Market. Michael is 29, has a 5-year old daughter and works as a manager for various musical acts from metro Detroit and elsewhere. He questions why millions of dollars are being spent on a streetcar system instead of investing in education and job training for future generations.
"They could take this money and put it in [Detroit Public Schools]," he said. This development "is for the white folks and tourists. It ain't for us."
Tia Hilson, 25, chimed in, as she and her husband fed neighborhood kids grilled hotdogs from their patio Saturday afternoon. She said she hasn't seen any of the benefits that others say have bloomed from bankruptcy.

@AJG
LE's Hyde Park cloth is quite good, but they have reduced the size of their collars so that they now look ludicrous with a necktie.
MGS | March 17, 2013 at 10:34 am |
AJC,
In the old days, basic knowledge about the Bible was part of general cultural literacy. I'm afraid that now one has to explain everything:
A marked change in form or appearance.
The sudden emanation of radiance from the person of Jesus that occurred on a mountain.
Mr. | March 17, 2013 at 11:06 am |
Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.
AJC | March 17, 2013 at 11:50 am |
@Dutch – It might be an exaggeration to say that they look "ludicrous," but it's true, their collars are not the most tie-friendly around. Still, as you said, the fabric is good and the price is right, and since I don't wear a tie that often, it's not a major concern for me.

The lustrous fabric on our exclusive line of suits appeals to his innate desire to collect shiny objects, while the world-famous Original Polo Buttondown Collar™ (now with less roll!) is just the thing for the more relaxed environment of the hunter-gatherer. Yet the non-iron finish assures Mr. Magnon that his shirt will always be looking less care-worn than his face does.

By the way, wouldn't bit loafers look great with that lustrous fabric?

I actually posted it on their Facebook page a few weeks ago when they published this picture. I'm still waiting for a phone call.
And yes, Christian, the tie and lady are quite terrible. Actually, I can forgive the female model, if she weren't wearing that lapel'd smock. The tie (the entire image, in fact) looks like something from Banana Republic circa 2003. Except they'd at least have the decency to dress the woman.

Brooks Brothers an American tradition until 2013.
This cover is clearly targeting the international marketplace. I didn't know that it's hip to wear shirts and collars that fit so poorly by traditional standards. Note jacket and collar fit.
Jim | March 18, 2013 at 9:25 am |
I think that there is a proper method of bringing oters into the big tent here. I think that more folks might consider the style, if they can picture themselves wearing these products.
When you only show models who fit the perfect WASP look, others may choose to ignore the act purchasing Trad styles. Personally I think that a male model resembling a guy like Tom Selleck, is alot better wearing this style in an ad, than is a totally WASPY looking model who looks the sterotype of a 16-year old rich nerd.
Just my humle opinion here!
Christian | March 18, 2013 at 9:32 am |
I think you've made a huge assumption here that what many would find a false note — or at least a jarring one — in the choosing of the cover model is his race or ethnicity. There are many more things in play here, including the simple notion of mood.
Good news. It seems York Street has already won over the business of the Magnon family. Look here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulandwilliams/8554869506/in/set-72157632983604069/lightbox/ . It's Mr. and Mrs. Magnon at the grand opening.
Don | March 18, 2013 at 3:35 pm |
Anyone remember the "Boys in Company C"? The haircut scene? Went something like this: (Sgt.) "Well hello, Jesus….." (to barber) "Be sure to give Jesus a good haircut."
That's what is wanted here.
Richard Meyer | March 18, 2013 at 5:18 pm |
Even a caveman can wear this.
@ Tabor Kid: I think that's Mr. and Mr. Magnon. @ Jim: Yes, that does bring otters into the big tent.
RKW | March 18, 2013 at 6:22 pm |
I find it ironic, that the shirt shown is one of their traditional,US made all cotton, non treated shirts. That only represents about 2% of the shirts they offer these days, and the only one I purchase. When I was there a few weeks ago there was only one vertical shelf of these shirts, offered in white, blue, yellow (I think), pink, and this blue stripe. There were dozens and dozens of shelves, of their Malaysian made treated no-iron cotton shirts, in many many patterns and colors.
DSF | March 18, 2013 at 7:41 pm |
Their suits look really funny, fit bad on people of all proportions, and are sewn ("assembled"?) using techniques inferior to those used by Sears, Roebuck in its catalogue suits 50 years ago. Their wool fabrics, even the fancy Italian stuff, feel cheap and plasticky. Their dress overcoats are styled like old army-issue jeep coats from Bastogne. Their neckties tend to be bright and glossy with cartoonish colors. Their logo show up on everything, like Polo circa 1989. Their sweaters are poorly made, incorrectly sized, and vastly overpriced. There is no longer any sense of style — any style — or purpose or reason for being. It's just bad stuff.
M Arthur | March 18, 2013 at 10:16 pm |
Christian: "There are many more things at play here, etc."
What might those other things be?
Look at the comments above, including your own.

@Dutch Uncle – another irony, 'Vecchio' in Italian means 'old'….
@Tabor Kid – you almost cost me my job as I read your comment while 'working', opened the photo and emitted an eruptive laugh that made colleagues choke on their candybars. Thank you nonetheless for a moment of hilarity in a rather gloomy period.

A.E.W. Mason | March 22, 2013 at 2:32 am |
Note the piece entitled "Bright Young Things" near the back of the new Brooks Brother's catalogue. (The "new" Brooks Brothers, indeed.) Note that the word "YOUNG" is in a point type twice the size of the other two words. With this, Brooks Brothers invites us to "follow [the] adventures" of Kiel James Patrick and friends on Twitter. "Bright Young Things" was the original title of Evelyn Waugh's novel "Vile Bodies," a satire on the lives of young, decadent social wastrels flitting about England between the Wars, drinking, taking drugs, smashing up things and people (hmm, sounds Gatsby-like). Brooks Brothers (along with J. Press) used to reflect not YOUTH, but a subtle and graceful sobriety befitting people who were responsible adults. It was so long ago (pre-1960s) that we forget that it was precisely that to which young people used to aspire. In a sense, too, it was particularly "American," inasmuch as by 1918 America was embarking on her role as a kind of "parent"—financial and otherwise—to a bickering and out-of-control Europe. Today, one could say "we're all out-of-control now." So, yes, Brooks must emphasize its new "YOUNGNESS"; grace, manners, restraint—and, apparently, shaving—no longer entice the buyer who aspires not to be himself, but a character out of a Waugh novel.
JMD | March 24, 2013 at 6:51 am |
I think that the cover of the Spring 2013 Brooks catalogue was surely intentional, after all, why wouldn't you feature Jesus Christ on the cover during Easter season? What a wonderful endorsement for the religious.
On a more serious note, however, I would like to point out to all the doomsayers that there are actually many things which Brooks does quite well. For those people who moan and groan about the deteriorating quality of the products, have they actually shopped at a Brooks store lately? I've been a shopper with them for the last 30+ years, and my father and grandfather shopped there before me, so I've seen and experienced the changing fortunes of the company. There was a time when I stopped shopping with them entirely. What has pulled me back, and has continued to keep me going back, is the rededication to quality and innovation that Claudio Del Vecchio brought to Brooks when it could have faded away into obscurity. Do I like everything they do? No, but I like enough of what they have that I feel I can always find something in their stores that I would want.
Reading the preceding comments (some of which are very funny, by the way, and some of which are just ludicrous) , I am reminded that there really are a lot of people who really do love this brand and have made it a part of their lives. I would point out, however, that change in styles, design, etc., are necessary parts of any business if it is to remain successful in order to survive and prosper. I do think that whoever was a part of the group at Brooks Brothers who culled the images for this catalogue can be legitimately faulted for poor aesthetic choices as far as the layout and presentation is concerned. Conveying the idea that the company is now becoming global could have been far more effectively conveyed if we had seen photos taken on the streets of London, Paris or Santiago with Latin, Asian or African faces (and not just white faces-in the interest of full disclosure, I am white, myself) showcasing the casual elegance that American style and Brooks Brothers represents, rather than this pastiche of images that look as if they were assembled by a team of MBAs (Masters of Brand Annihilation) bent on demonstrating how hip they are.
Be uncomfortable and challenged by change if you must, but also, be realistic and keep things in their proper perspective. Brooks will surely go through some more changes as it moves forward, but I am looking forward to what the future brings rather than crying about the spilled milk of the past.

Police: Man, juvenile charged with aggravated battery after shooting child in Quincy
QUINCY, Fla. (WTXL) — A 19-year-old and a juvenile has been arrested in Quincy after police say they shot a child in the hand over the weekend.
On Saturday, around 2:40 p.m. officers from the Quincy Police Department responded to shots fired in the 1300 block of Elm Street in Quincy.
When they arrived, officers found a juvenile victim who was shot in the hand. That juvenile was taken to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries from the gunshot wound.
Later that day, 19 year-old Markevius Street was arrested for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and discharging a firearm in public. He was booked into the Gadsden County Jail.
On Tuesday, the younger brother to the previously charged suspect was arrested.
Investigators say the juvenile suspect was also charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and discharging a firearm in public.
He was booked in the Juvenile Assessment Center in Tallahassee.

Giants on course
HUDDERSFIELD Giants remain on course to break their best home attendance for a Super League fixture next Sunday.
The record stands at 12,417 for their first ever game in Super League against Bradford Bulls on April 3, 1998.
But all the signs suggest that figure could be smashed when the Giants host champions Leeds on Sunday week.
The fact coach Jon Sharp's side have secured outstanding pre-season wins at Hull, Castleford and Batley have clearly helped in that process.
And Giants marketing chief James Brammer is looking forward to another busy week on the ticket-sales front.
"All the indications are still suggesting we'll break the record next Sunday," he said.
"I've never known it so busy in the build-up to a Super League game down here.
"It is obvious this fixture has really captured the imagination, and it's already clear we are going to have massive backing the day.
"And that's important, because we know the Leeds fans will be turning out in force.
"Everything is in place to make this game an occasion to savour.
"But while advance ticket sales have been excellent, I know there are still more who are wanting to buy them.
"My advice to those is to get down to the stadium ticket office as quickly as possible.
"Tickets for Town's FA Cup tie at Chelsea go on sale on Monday, so it'll be very busy early next week.
"So, I would urge all fans to get down by midday tomorrow if they're wanting to avoid queuing.
"And buying in advance does, of course, make a great deal of sense, because you save £2 on the matchday price.
"On top of that, don't forget that all primary schoolchildren get in free of charge if accompanied by an adult.
"I know all those who come and see the game will have a fantastic time."
Although next Sunday's game will be the Giants' first of the new campaign, Leeds open their season at home to Hull KR tomorrow (6.00).
And the Super League champions have been handed a timely boost ahead of the Robins clash with the news Great Britain captain Jamie Peacock is set to finish his career with the Rhinos after agreeing a new three-year contract.
The 30-year-old prop, who has been named international forward of the year for the past two seasons, had two years left on the four-year deal he signed when he moved from Bradford in 2005.
However, he has now pledged his future to Leeds until at least the end of the 2010 season when he will be approaching his 33rd birthday.
Hull will be without five regulars for the start of the Super League season after the full extent of Great Britain centre Kirk Yeaman's elbow injury was revealed.
Yeaman is expected to be sidelined for six weeks after picking up the injury during the 52-10 pre-season victory at Doncaster on Sunday.
He joins fellow internationals Gareth Raynor and Richard Horne, captain Lee Radford and centre Richard Whiting on the casualty list, with all of them expected to miss the game against the Giants at the Galpharm on March 2.

Siteliner and Where it Beats Screaming Frog and Sitebulb
Today, I want to give you a tip for a handy SEO tool that deserves more attention than it gets. The most undervalued SEO tool I know.
Jan Onesork
It's Siteliner and its ability to analyze duplicate content and present it in an easy-to-understand visual way.
Duplicate content is content that appears on multiple pages on your site or on multiple pages on the Internet in general. In SEO, we further talk about technical duplicates (basically the same page, but accessible via various URLs), duplicate elements (pages that have unique content, but some of their elements are duplicate - e.g., titles).
There are also pages we consider nearly duplicate - these are not duplicate pages per se, but usually pages that reuse a lot of content from other pages and don't have enough unique content on their own.
And that's where it becomes tricky.
Modern websites have fewer and fewer issues with technical duplicities. And as websites are getting better, Google's caught up as well - Google can handle duplicate content quite well.
But what can be more problematic and harder to find are near-duplicates - pages that are very similar, and if you remove elements that are duplicates, there will be not that much unique content left.
Let's use my own blog as an example - here is how my homepage currently looks like:
All the highlighted elements are duplicates to some other pages on my site. As you can see, the homepage contains pieces of content from other pages but doesn't have any unique content on its own.
In SEO, this can cause issues - why would Google send users to this page if it doesn't have any unique content?
Google will probably much more likely send users to the single articles which contain all the unique content.
But if I want to use the homepage as an organic landing page, I should make sure that the homepage contains some unique content.
So what is the best way how you can identify these thin pages?
Well, tools such as Sitebulb and ScreamingFrog, which are the gold standard in SEO, don't help much - here is what you can get from Sitebulb for my homepage:
Everything is okay in Sitebulb. (No, it isn't! 🤯)
And here is where Siteliner comes to the rescue 😁 … and where the first screenshot came from.
Siteliner is a dedicated tool focused on duplicate content & thin content issues.
Siteliner scans your site and shows you all the places with similar content:
But where it really shines is its visual overview that lets you open a page and show which specific segments have been repurposed from other pages:
Siteliner lets you check websites up to 250 pages for free. Their premium plan enables you to analyze sites up to 25,000 pages for $0.01 per page.
I definitely recommend you give this tool a try. It takes a look at sites from a bit different angle than other tools, and one simple scan can help you resurface a lot of opportunities for improvement.
Also, if you work with clients, the visual way Siteliner shows content overlap is excellent to get your point across and get clients on board.

So it went down another half a dollar to $5.48 yesterday, and now – this is really so telling – now the professionals on Wall Street, who were steadfastly and professionally recommending the stock since July . . . now they have reduced their rating from BUY to HOLD or from BUY to SELL. Even our old friend UBS Securities, which retains its BUY rating, yesterday lowered its price target from $18 to $8 (down from $28 last August). If they keep chopping it by 10 points every so often, what will the price target be next?
So yesterday, at excruciating length, I passed on news of the first significant cash finding its way into the Borealis family of companies in . . . well, to my knowledge, ever. And receipt of a tentative sort of order ('offtake agreement') from a British steel company for between 20 million and 35 million tons of iron ore over ten years beginning in 2010, valued (at today's ore price) at between $800 million and $1.4 billion.
Yes, 2010 is a long time to wait for this revenue stream to begin, if it does. And yes, it may not, if environmental or other snags arise. And, yes, the ore does not magically pop out of the ground and load itself onto ships, so that revenue is 'gross,' not net.
And, yes, the price of ore could fall by 2010 – but it could also rise. And if this steel company wants to buy ore, maybe others will, too – the company seems to think it's likely got a vast ore store up there.
Such is my clout, and such the persuasive powers of my analysis, that – between the force of the company press release, here and abroad, and my little website that thousands of you read (at least when the topic is self-cleaning ovens you do) – the stock of parent company Borealis closed yesterday unchanged, at $11.70 a share . . . a market cap of $58.5 million).
And this is OK. There remains a real chance that all this, and the company's various tech subsidiaries, could be worth nothing. No one should buy shares in this speculation who can't afford to lose his money. And experience shows that no one should buy shares expecting the stock to rocket any time soon. But sometimes the things nobody wants do prove valuable. And sometimes, patience is rewarded.
☞ Listen kids. It's awkward to brag, but for the last quarter century, at least, it's Democrats who've had some vague notion about how to manage money. Our National Debt was $1 trillion the year Reagan took office and will be $10 trillion the day Bush leaves (unless he uses emergency powers to extend his term). Of that incremental $9 trillion, $8 trillion will have been racked up under just three presidents: Reagan, Bush, and Bush. The interest we must pay on that debt every year, even at today's relatively low rates, already is equivalent to 40% of all the personal incomes taxes Americans pay – and will almost surely be even higher by the time Bush goes. That's the financial box Republican leadership has put us – and our children – in, and it's going to be very tough to get out. So let's be clear: the modern Republican Party is very good about managing money in the sense of funneling ever more of it into fewer and fewer hands. But beyond that, they have significantly weakened our country, and our children's country. It is a tragedy.

Zoning changes and street closures for new developments in Hawkesbury
Posted by James Morgan | Dec 2, 2021 | Local Politics, News
Plans are moving forward for new residential developments in Hawkesbury.
On November 29, town council accepted an application for a Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) to change the zoning from Residential Density 2 (R2) to Residential Density 4 (R4) at 290 Champlain Street. The building on the property is a former school, which a developer plans to convert into 17 apartment units. Mayor Paula Assaly declared a conflict of interest on the item and temporarily left the meeting, while Councillor Antonios Tsourounakis took over as chair.
A public zoning meeting on the proposal was held on November 4. One resident who lives across from the property expressed concern the new apartments would result in increased vehicle traffic in the neighbourhood and make it less safe for pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers. The resident was also concerned the adjacent apartment building would diminish the value of their home. Other Champlain Street residents commented on the present degraded state of the former school building and how there would be increased traffic if the apartment development proceeds.
On November 29, there were no further comments or questions from councillors about the application for the ZBA. The recommendation to accept the application was moved by Councillor Lawrence Bogue and seconded by Councillor Robert Lefebvre.
Former PPG land
The Town of Hawkesbury is also in the process of preparing to close part of Industriel Boulevard on the former PPG plant lands due to residential development proposed for the area. The area affected is south of the railroad tracks behind the mall and includes the entrance to the heliport used by Hawkesbury and District General Hospital to airlift patients. However, access to the heliport will be maintained for ambulance use.
A multi-phase development of single-family, semi-detached, and apartment dwellings are planned for the former PPG property.

In his sovereignty, the God who determines everyone's place in history and on the planet moves people to and fro (Acts 17:26). It has pleased Him to convene some 570,000 young people from nearly every nation in Canadian colleges and universities. The peoples the psalmist speaks of have been gathered on the campuses of this global country. Today's campus is a global campus.
Why? So they might seek and find Him (Acts 17:27), to receive the greatest blessing—a personal relationship with the God of the universe—to allow His righteous rule of national affairs, while joyously returning glory to the God who alone does wondrously. We well know that from Babel until today, not all gatherings have sought to magnify the name and fame of the Lord. Others, from Sinai to Pentecost, have. As we examine this international education phenomenon, it is legitimate to ask: will this re-gathering be Babel or Pentecost?
I can hardly contain my excitement about this watershed moment right on our doorstep! Every believer in Canada's 20,000 churches should be inspired and equipped to reach the nations coming to our shores. Come to Global Campus 2019. Bring others with you!
Something epic is about to break forth. Will you dream with us of seeing EVERY international student in Canada having an opportunity to encounter the gospel and becoming a catalyst for an evangelical church for every person, Christ-like leaders in every church, bringing kingdom impact to every sphere of society?
"May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us so [his] ways may be known on earth, [his] salvation among all nations . . . May God bless us still, so that all the ends of the earth will fear him" Psalm 67:1-2, 7.
ISMC, on behalf of the consortium of mission organizations powering GLOBAL CAMPUS 2019, invites your prayer and financial partnership to enable us keep the cost per head of GLOBAL CAMPUS 2019 at below $300 per person. We do not want anyone to miss being empowered by God to join the harvest of souls.

The Scarlet Pimpernel is a British film from 1982 based on a novel by Baroness Orczy with the same name. Actually she wrote a series of stories about the same character. The events in the film take place during the French Revolution. The chief character, Sir Percy Blakeney is an Englishman who leads a double life. He pretends to be an idiot interested in nothing except fashion, while at the same time under the name of the Scarlet Pimpernel he is saving innocent French aristocrats from Madame Guillotine. As a result of his actions, the whole police force of France are seeking him, with no success. Robespierre orders Citizen Chauvelin to catch him. Chauvelin is in love with Marguerite St Just who is called the most beautiful actress of France. Sir Percy accidentally meets her, and falls in love with her, too. He proposes and she accepts, however, they seem not to be destined for the marital bliss as on their wedding day Percy learns that his wife sent an innocent man to the guillotine. In reality, it wasn't Marguerite's fault, as Chauvelin used her name on the arrest warrant to pay her back for ditching him. Percy, however, believes in Marguerite's betrayal and treats her accordingly. Poor Marguerite doesn't understand what she did wrong. To complicate things even further, Chauvelin comes to England and with threats and blackmail forces Marguerite to help him identify the mysterious Scarlet Pimpernel. When she realises that Scarlet Pimpernel is in fact, her own husband, it's too late as Chauvelin has learned it, too. In despair, Marguerite leaves for France as to try and warn Percy or to die together with him.
Sir Percy is played by Anthony Andrews, the actor who also played Sebastian in Brideshead Revisited. Marguerite is played by Jane Seymour, and Chauvelin by Ian McKellen, whom you all probably have seen as Gandalf in Lord Of The Rings.

The Delbarton Winter Sports Season had its fair share of ups and downs but, overall, proved to be a successful one. Let's take a look at how each team fared during the 2018-19 winter season.
To kick it off, the Green Wave Basketball team finished with an overall record of 18-8 and a conference record of 9-3. With this record, the team finished second in their NJAC conference, behind only Sparta. Senior Jaedon Khubani was top-2 on the team in both field goals and 3-pointers made, notching 99 field goals and 36 3-pointers. After defeating Paramus Catholic in the first round, the team lost against a very talented Bergen Catholic in the quarterfinal round of the NJSIAA Tournament.
Delbarton's hockey team ended the season 19-7-4 in a heartbreaking State Final loss to Don Bosco over Spring Break. The Wave was trying to get back at Bosco after they made an almost impossible comeback against the Wave, beating them in the Gordon Cup finals. However, with a terrific rising senior class, Wave hockey looks to be on the up and up for next year.
As many people know, the Delbarton squash team was tremendously successful this past season, winning the National Championship. The team was 11th out of 16 in their division, which, instead of discouraging the athletes, motivated them to perform better than everyone else at the National Championship weekend, described by Junior player Peter Gajewski as a "weekend … that none of us will ever forget." For the full story about the Squash team this past year, check out Peter's article, which can be found in the Sports section of the Courier website.
Much like Delbarton's other winter sports teams, the Wave Winter Track Team had a successful year, with juniors and seniors alike leading the charge. Senior Justin Yazdi started the season tremendously, placing 1st in the 55m race at the Lid Lifter at Drew University. Along with this amazing accolade, Yazdi placed in the top 5 on numerous occasions throughout the season. In addition, Juniors Steven Daly and Harrison Vives, as well as the rest of the Distance Crew, ran very well this past season, earning the team points at almost every meet. Notably, Daly finished 1st at the FAT Invitational and 8th at the State Meet of Champions, very difficult and competitive honors to achieve.
The Delbarton Swimming team had an almost perfect 2018-19 season, going 10-1 with their biggest win coming against Parsippany High School by a score of 125-45. The team finished 3rd at States at Lawrenceville and finished the season with a close victory over Hanover Park, coming out on top 87-83. Seniors Thomas Shepanzyk and Jack Alexy led the way at the Tournament of Champions, placing well in several events.
The Wave's wrestlers had a fantastic season, both as a team and individually, as they racked up 14 wins and 3 losses. The team won the Morris County Championship and had 10 wrestlers advance to the NJ State Championships, an extremely impressive feat. At the championships, not only did the team have a record 8 medalists, but Junior Anthony Clark finished 2nd place in the entire tournament for his weight class (120 pounds).
Despite a rocky 2-2 start, the Delbarton Bowling Squad also finished with a very strong performance, notching 9 wins and 4 losses. The bowling team swept the season series against several of the Wave's rivals, including Madison, Morris Hills, and Chatham.
Listed below are the various accomplishments that Delbarton Winter Athletes received. This list was comprised by the editors of the Delbarton Athletics website.
Clearly, the Delbarton Winter Sports season was a successful one and is a shining example of how talented Delbarton athletes are. The Winter Season may be over but there are still plenty of opportunities to watch Delbarton athletes excel during the Spring Sports season.

Parlament (tudi predstavništvo) je politično demokratično telo, ki združuje posameznike, ki jih je izvolila nacija, da odločajo v njenem imenu.

Slovenski parlament je dvodomen. Sestavljata ga Državni zbor (ti. spodnji dom), ki je 'splošno ljudsko predstavništvo', ter Državni svet (ti. zgornji dom), ki je  'predstavništvo posebnih interesov'. Parlamentarne funkcije so močno zgoščene v Državnem zboru, ki v ti. zakonodajnem postopku oblikuje zakone, ki so najpomembnejši splošni pravni akt v kontinentalnih pravnih sistemih, kamor šteje tudi slovenski. Zakonodajni postopek poteka na podlagi pooblastil Ustave, konkretneje pa je urejen v Poslovniku Državnega zbora.

Vrste parlamentov
 Glede na domnost
 enodomni (ima enotno skupščinsko strukturo)
 dvodomni (dve skupščini, v kateri ima druga oz. spodnja skupščina ožja pooblastila)

 Glede na komisije
Parlamenti se delijo tudi glede pristojnosti oz. moči  komisij v primerjavi s celotno skupščino. Tako so lahko komisije le posvetovalna telesa, lahko pa imajo tudi večja pooblastila

 Glede na število političnih strank
 enostrankarski (to je v bistvu diktatura ene stranke)
 večstrankarski

 Glede na zgoraj naštete razlike
 nasprotovalni parlament (enodomen (oz. je dvodomnost le formalna), komisije imajo majhen vpliv, velja dvostrankarski sistem, parlamentarna večina se enači z vlado, parlament ima malo samostojne oblasti) in
 policentrični parlament (dvodomen, močne komisije, več političnih strank, notranja povezanost med njimi je šibka, parlament ima veliko moč (okrepljeno samostojnost) v primerjavi z vlado).

Zgodovinski razvoj parlamenta
Skozi zgodovino je parlament postopoma izpodrinil suverena (npr. monarh), ki je odločal o vseh javnih zadevah.

Srednjeveški parlamenti
V srednjem veku najprej nastane parlament, da bi usklajeval decentralizacijo in pogosto prekrivajoče se oblasti. Med 12. in 16. stoletjem so najprej od preprostega svetovanja suverenu prišli ti organi do nadzora nad njegovim delovanjem, sčasoma pa so ga že lahko tudi zavirali. V parlament so se vključevali tudi razni mestni predstavniki. Do razvoja je prišlo predvsem zaradi potrebe samega suverena, ki si je prizadeval povečati svojo legitimnost s soglasjem predstavnikov obrobnih, vendar pomembnih oblasti (za to pa zahtevajo predstavništvo–"no taxation without represation"). V 16. in 17. stoletju so monarhi krepili svoj oblast, to pa je vodilo do slabitve moči parlamentov. To se ni zgodilo le v Angliji, katere parlament je kasneje tudi postal vzorec za preporod ostalih parlamentov. V 19. stoletju so začele nastajati demokracije in monarhične ureditve so se počasi umikale; parlamenti so začeli nadzorovati vlado.

Sodobni parlamenti
Novi demokratični parlamenti so postopoma dobili nadzor nad vlado, pridobili so tudi pravico do oblikovanja zakonodaje. Prehod od parlamenta, ki je bil le golo predstavništvo (svetovalci) do parlamenta s funkcijo vladanja, je popolnoma spremenil pojmovanje predstavništva. Danes parlament predstavlja državljane in jim tudi vlada, ker pa opravlja dve funkciji prihaja do napetosti.

Prevladujoča prvina sodobnih parlamentov, kot predstavniških skupščin je uveljavljanje nadzora nad vlado, politične odločitve pa morajo sprejemati tako, da zagotavljajo njihovo ujemanje z voljo ljudstva.

Sodobni parlament resda je v marsičem še vedno podoben srednjeveškemu (npr. predstavništvo, pluralizem, skupščinska narava), vendar je za sodobne parlamente predvsem značilna stalnost in samostojnost, oblikovani so z volitvami z namenom, da zastopajo družbena mnenja in ne družbene skupine.

Q: Handling a lack of connectivity in iPhone application Our web service has a "ping" function which is great for testing if the web service is available or not (I don't really care if the internet connection is available, right?) and I know how to test this condition, but how do I go about implementing this in my application? As in where do I test?
If there is no connection, the app doesn't crash of course, it just returns an empty table view or set of views. Should I put the ping before each request and generate an exception or error message when the ping fails? The web service request + response itself can take longer than the transmission of the actual data (latency I guess it would be) so I worry that implementing a Ping before each request might almost double the time it takes to perform each request. Or, should I be continually ping-ing and making sure there is a connection? What is the best practice?
Or should I even worry about it at all?

A: I was able to use the Reachability library as seen in the answer to How to check for an active Internet connection on iOS or OSX? . You can extend the library to include not only hostReachable but wsReachable with a little bit of work that is probably obvious to all.

A: iOS can provide you with callbacks once the network connectivity changes (e.g. from airplane mode to cell only to wifi and back). So you get notified whenever the network state changes and you don't need to keep pinging the server and can display proper online/offline messages.
Have a look at the SCNetworkReachabilitySetCallback method in the NetworkReachability.h header.
