Edco Swiss
Edco Engineering SA wurde 1988 Nachfolger des Maschinenbauunternehmens Edouard Dubied & Cie S.A. aus Couvet in der Schweiz. Dubied & Cie wurde 1867 gegründet. 1902 fertigte die Firma die ersten Automobil- und Fahrradteile und vertrieb sie unter dem Namen "EDCO".

Als neuer Hersteller war Edco Ende der 1980er Jahre bis ungefähr Mitte der 1990er Jahre mit eigenen Komponentengruppen für Mountainbikes, Reise-, Triathlon- und Rennräder angetreten. Die meisten Teile waren kompatibel zu Shimano-Komponenten.

Edco hatte wirtschaftliche Probleme und musste schließlich um den Jahrtausendwechsel Insolvenz anmelden. Die Markenrechte wurden vom belgischen Speichenhersteller Sapim übernommen. Sapim wollte sich allerdings auf sein Hauptgeschäft, das Herstellen von Speichen und Nippeln, konzentrieren und verkaufte 2007 die Marke an ein niederländisches Unternehmen, das edco engineering bv gründete.

edco heute
Die Wurzeln des heutigen Unternehmens edco reichen auf den schweizerischen Fahrradteilehersteller zurück. Die Marke "edco" bekam 2008 ein neues Unternehmenslogo: Die Schweizer Fahne im Logo verweist auf den Ursprung und unter dem Namen "edco" prangt der Schriftzug "swiss cycling components".

Das Unternehmen wurde 2007 gegründet. Der Unternehmenssitz befand sich bis 2017 in 's-Hertogenbosch in den Niederlanden. Produziert werden die Einzelteile der Naben noch heute in der Schweiz. Edco baut sie in den Niederlanden zusammen.

On the long return trip Sunday night from Oakland, Calif., the NFL's leading receiver walked to the back of the plane. Antonio Brown felt the need to say something to his quarterback, and this time it wasn't to implore him to throw more passes his way.
He wanted to apologize for two fourth-quarter plays he thinks he should have made in the Steelers' 21-18 loss against the Raiders.
One came on third-and-15 when he dropped what would have been a 24-yard reception at Oakland's 41 along the sideline. That forced a punt. The other ended the Steelers' next series when Brown, on third-and-3, seemed to catch a pass over the middle at the Oakland 20 for a first down only to have it ripped away from him by cornerback Tracy Porter for what was ruled an interception.
"I came to him on the back of the plane and thought I could've done some things better to help us win," Brown said of his conversation with Ben Roethlisberger, adding that he was "less than ideal and below the line with 1 / 8my 3 / 8 performance."
Pro Football Focus, which charts various statistics not kept by the NFL, lists Brown with just one dropped pass and ranks him third-best in the NFL in that category. Those two drops and a third on what would have been a 15-yard touchdown pass against the New York Jets don't add up to a high number, especially for a player who has caught six more passes than anyone else in the NFL and has more receptions after seven games than anyone in Steelers history.
Brown has 56. Hines Ward, who holds the single-season record with 112, had the previous seven-game high with 49 in 2004. His 630 yards puts him on pace to set a team record with 1,440.
Others, including usually sure-handed tight end Heath Miller, have dropped passes. There have been missed sacks, missed tackles and pass defenses. Halfbacks have missed holes.
Yet, coach Mike Tomlin mentioned one of Brown's errors at Oakland Tuesday in his news conference.
"We came away from that drive with no points because of an interception on third down that went through Antonio Brown's hands," Tomlin said.
Roethlisberger labeled those two plays Brown did not make in Oakland as unusual.
"The expectation is for him to always make those plays. So you don't get upset or frustrated when it doesn't happen … He's made enough plays for us that it's not worth getting upset or frustrated over.
"He's our guy … I feel that he is playing at a very high level. If you watch defenses, they obviously feel the same way because they are doing a lot of doubling and safeties are rolling his way."
Roethlisberger talked to Tomlin Monday about the timeout he "wasted" while waiting for a horse-collar penalty that was never called Sunday against the Raiders: "I'll take the blame for that incident. It won't happen again. He preferred me, in that situation with that much time, to save the three timeouts and take the 1 / 85 3 / 8 penalty yards."
New Steelers punter Mat McBriar was enjoying a successful career with the Dallas Cowboys, having made Pro Bowls after the 2006 and 2010 season.
In 2011, his seventh season, he developed a case of drop foot in his left plant leg.
The Cowboys placed him on injured reserve with one game to left in that season, and they did not re-sign him. It turns out, a cyst in his left leg damaged a nerve that led to the drop foot. Surgery repaired it, and he played for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2012, but was cut in March and had not played anywhere this season.
"I've just been patiently waiting for a shot," said McBriar, a native of Australia who lives in Dallas. "It was great to hear from the team on Monday."
McBriar, 34, and another unnamed punter tried out Tuesday at the team's facility. He said the nerve in his leg has fully healed, and his foot has returned to normal.
"I feel really good. I feel like I am in shape, kicking-wise."
"All linebackers that come in, if a first-rounder or free agent, everyone struggles with this defense," Woodley said.
"This is a hard defense to learn, playing this 3-4 defense. We all struggled with it. I definitely know as a rookie I struggled with this defense."
Unlike Jones, who played outside linebacker in Georgia's 3-4 defense, Woodley played end in Michigan's 4-3 defense.
He did not start as a rookie -- indeed, Jones was the only outside linebacker to win a starting job in the 3-4 in 31 years here.
"I didn't understand the linebacker position," said Woodley, who has half the team's 10 sacks and ranks fifth on their career list with 57.
"It was just me studying the playbook and getting a better understanding of the whole position."
He said he has not tried to boost Jones' morale since the demotion came to light Tuesday.
"You have to motivate yourself. You have to do it yourself. That's how I feel about it. Nothing against Jarvis.
"We talk every day. His spirit is not low. His spirit is high.
"If his spirit was low, I'd talk to him, but his spirits are high."
Sean Spence, on the physically-unable-to-perform list, resumed practice Wednesday after missing last week because his right hand required surgery. He began practicing two weeks ago, and this is the final week he can practice before the Steelers must decide whether to keep him on PUP (where he no longer would be permitted to practice), put him on their 53-man roster or release him.
Those who did not practice Wednesday: Cornerback Curtis Brown (not injury related and not further revealed), offensive guard David DeCastro (ankle), nose tackle Steve McLendon (sick) and wide receiver Markus Wheaton (pinky finger).
Offensive guard Ramon Foster (concussion) was limited as were Miller and Roethlisberger, who were given part of practice off by Tomlin.

Best-selling author Robert Hammond celebrates Paramount Pictures' 100th Anniversary with the release of his latest novel, "C.B. DeMille: The Man Who Invented Hollywood."
August 29, 2012	(Newswire.com) - It seems that everyone in Hollywood is either talking about Paramount's upcoming 100th anniversary or giving out another award bearing the name of legendary director Cecil B. DeMille. Well get ready for the close-up because award-winning author and screenwriter Robert Hammond just released his latest novel entitled "C. B. DeMille: The Man Who Invented Hollywood." In this novelization of the beginnings of director Cecil B. DeMille's film career starting as a failed stage actor in the early 1900's, Hammond reveals the director's early family life in New York City, his relationship with his wife and young daughter and exposes his evident character flaws. In "C. B. DeMille: The Man Who Created Hollywood," the reader will discover the origins of the then burgeoning film industry and what led DeMille to leave New York for a little-known southern California town called Hollywoodland, to follow his new calling as a film director.
Once out west, DeMille, along with Adolph Zukor and Jesse L. Lasky, form 'Famous Players-Lasky Corporation' later changed to 'Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation' the forerunner to Paramount Pictures Studios. Hammond's lightning-paced novel highlights the great filmmaker's Hollywood odyssey of excess, infidelity, redemption and reverence, leading to the most celebrated figure in entertainment history and the "Greatest Showman on Earth."
"C. B. DeMille: The Man Who Invented Hollywood" is already making waves in Hollywood and an adaptation of the novel is in development as an epic biopic by producers Brandon Pender and Gabrielle Evans-Field with author Hammond set to write the first draft of the screenplay. Evans-Fields says, "C.B. DeMille is ready for his close-up." The producers are currently in the process of attaching A-List talent to this groundbreaking endeavor that is scheduled to be released by early 2014.
What if the legendary director who invented Hollywood and the Biblical epic offered you his personal secrets to unlimited wealth and achievement?


Ever find yourself wishing that you were Marty McFly from Back to the Future, equipped with a super-cool time traveling machine that could propel you into another dimension? Well although time machines have yet to become a reality, you can still get a glimpse of the future by visiting any of the dozens of emerging smart cities across the country. With the official first day of summer right around the corner, now is the perfect time to finalize those road-trip itineraries to include one, or all, of these top five energy efficient cities.
So buckle up, sit back, and enjoy the ride as we begin our cross-country overview of the coolest energy efficient cities to visit this summer.
Weighing in at number one is the home of the nationally acclaimed Boston Red Sox. While cheering in the stands, hoping to catch a home run ball, you will be pleased to know that the city of Boston is making substantial efforts to improve the environment and to advance grid modernization. By increasing the energy efficiency of city buildings, Boston hopes to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 25% and 80% by the years 2020 and 2050, respectively. Having already achieved a 27% reduction in GHGs between 2003 and 2013, the city is definitely on track towards its goal of minimizing environmental impacts and ensuring a more efficient electrical grid. Additionally, in an effort to combat the growing epidemic of national deforestation, the Grow Boston Greener program intends to plant 100,000 new trees in the city by 2020. This influx of greenery will increase the city's tree canopy coverage to 35%, providing large amounts of shade to make downtown walks in the summer heat a breeze. Even better is the fact that residents can cash in on this project by buying and selling trees on any public piece of land. Another perk given to residents is a free at-home kit that includes faucet aerators, low-flow replacement showerheads, and dye tablets that detect toilet leaks. This handy, neatly packaged gift encourages Bostonians to be mindful of their water usage while also experiencing the joys of cool environmentally friendly gadgets.
Having just seized the game-winning ball at the Red Sox game, you may receive a few funny looks as you travel into Yankee territory, but who wouldn't want to visit a city that has a goal of planting one million trees within the next decade? Don't be alarmed though, these won't be apple trees. While exploring The City that Never Sleeps, it's best to take advantage of the bike sharing service, Citibike, which has 375 stations across lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. Planning to embark on late-night adventures downtown? You'll be pleased to know that this big city uses bright lights that are energy efficient. In fact, by next year, 250,000 standard streetlights will have been replaced by LEDs – that's one new streetlight for every four new trees planted! Also on track to being accomplished by next year is the goal of reducing the city's greenhouse gas emissions by 30% to help increase national grid modernization; New Yorkers are half way there having already reduced emissions by 19% between 2006 and 2012. Additionally, to increase its water efficiency, the city hopes to be saving up to nine million gallons of water per day by the year 2020. That's enough water to fill almost 14 Olympic-sized swimming pools each day! As an incentive for residents to get serious about their water usage, water companies will award any household with a $125 voucher to replace any outdated toilets.
Now it would only make sense that we include the nation's capital on this list seeing as it's the location of the most visited home in the country – The White House. To aid in national efforts of modernizing the current electric grid, D.C. has a goal of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2032, this political paradise is well on its way to victory having already reduced emissions by 23%. Although you'll be tempted to drive through the city whilst accumulating snapshots of the various monuments, it's best to utilize one of the 344 bike sharing stations to help improve the air-quality. In addition to First Lady Michelle Obama informing schoolkids about the importance of physical health, the city hosts a seasonal school competition called Sprint to Savings to encourage youth to become more active in environmental health projects. Over the course of three weeks, schools compete with one another to see who can achieve the highest reduction in energy consumption. In previous years, the winning schools reduced their energy consumption by a whopping 30%! Regarding water efficiency, by the year 2032, the city hopes to have reduced its water usage by 40%. Ensuring that residents lend a helping hand in accomplishing this goal, the High Usage Notification Application is a service that alerts consumers of any unintended high-levels of water usage. Ranging from unknown household leaks, to unattended lawn sprinklers, the app helps consumers to save money while also saving the planet.
After touring the Oval Office and snapping photos in front of the Lincoln Memorial, it's now time to journey to the opposite end of the country to experience some amazing views from the Golden Gate Bridge. Make sure your view of the beautiful water below is not limited to the size of your car window – enjoy an exhilarating bike ride across the iconic suspension bridge using one of the 350 bikes offered in the city's bike sharing service. Having expensed all of your energy during a full day of sightseeing, you'll have a peace of mind knowing that your hotel building will most likely have a solar, living, cooling roof with open spaces – a cool new energy efficient feature that promotes grid modernization and helps to protect the environment. Energy efficient on the outside and water efficient on the inside, your hotel will also have low-flow toilets to ensure that the city meets its goal of reducing daily water consumption by five million gallons. Assuming that you've been journeying cross-country in an electric vehicle, you'll be happy to know that you can stop at any one of the 108 public charging stations in the city before heading to our last stop of the voyage.
Having already visited the city of Washington, D.C., we must now journey north to the actual state of Washington – home of the iconic Space Needle. With a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 30% and municipal building energy usage 20% by 2020, it's no wonder that Seattle is finishing out our list of the top five energy efficient cities that are making considerable strides towards modernizing the electric grid. To ensure that this Emerald City maintains its green hue, there are plans in place to increase tree canopy coverage by 30%. Falling in line behind the previous contenders, the city has already replaced all 41,000 of its streetlights with energy efficient LEDs, so now you can dance in the sweet Seattle rain under an environmentally friendly spotlight. Speaking of rainwater, seeing as this capital city receives, on average, 140 days of measurable rain, water efficiency initiatives are in place to manage 700 million gallons of storm water annually through green infrastructures by the year 2025. Whereas tourists are encouraged to use the city's bike sharing service, Pronto, city employees are offered public transit benefits in order to reduce the amount of toxic fumes emitted by cars during daily commutes.
The Smart Energy Consumer Collaborative compiled this list by utilizing city-level data made available by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE).

"Slabwood Cabins" Help Attract New Buisness
FARM SHOW Magazine » "Slabwood Cabins" Help Attract New Buisness
Alec Alberti makes his living selling firewood so he's always looking for a way to promote his business.
That's why he decided to build a pair of "slabwood cabins" made from "mortarless" stacks of firewood. One of the cabins is used to store firewood, and the other to store woodworking tools. It has a wood burning stove inside with a steel chimney flue sticking out the roof.
To build the walls of each cabin he simply stacked 16-in. lengths of slabwood on top of each other. "The walls are built without a single nail," he says.
The slabwood cabins were erected in 2000 and are still standing in good condition.
"They've become local landmarks and good attention grabbers for my business. People stop by to photograph them all the time," says Alberti.
"When people first see the cabins they can't believe they're really made of slabwood and wonder why they don't fall down. I tell them it's because of the interlocking technique I use and because of the framing system. The strange thing is that all the slabwood is stacked directly on the ground, with no foundation at all, yet the building never heaves or shifts.
"Last winter my slabwood cabins survived the worst snowstorm of the century. I didn't remove the massive amount of snow on the roofs of the cabins and yet, because of their unique construction, they were able to withstand the weight of all that snow and didn't collapse even though many other buildings in our area did collapse from the weight of the snow."
Each cabin measures 30 ft. long by 15 ft. wide and has 10-ft. high slabwood walls. There's a door and windows on three sides and a sloped, tar-papered roof covered with slabs of hemlock.
Building the cabins was easy, once he got started, he says. The first step was to lay interlocking slabwood support stacks at each corner and also at each end of the building. The slabwood is simply piled up between the corner stacks. "I kept everything leaning inward as I built the walls up," says Alberti.
He placed a 15-ft. long spruce pole at each end of the cabin to support the rafters, lashing the bottom of each pole to a locust pole that's buried in the ground. "I didn't want to bury the spruce poles in the ground because they would rot," says Alberti. More locust posts are placed at each corner inside the building to support the slabwood.
The roof's frame is made from small spruce trees spaced 2 ft. apart. The rafters never touch the slabwood walls.
He built the window frames out of 2 by 6's and nailed them to some slabwood, then placed windows off an old building inside them.
"Each cabin took about 2 months to build," says Alberti. "I fill one of the cabins solid with firewood, and take it out as I sell it. The wind blows through and dries the wood, while the roof keeps rain and snow off."
The walls of the cabin with the wood stove are lined by 1/4-in. plywood to keep the wind out. "It can be 20 degrees below zero outside but I can still wear a T-shirt inside," says Alberti. "At one time I had a maple syrup boiler for demonstration purposes inside this cabin, with a cupola on the roof to vent steam produced by the boiler. However, when I converted the cabin into a shop for tools I removed the cupola."
Homemade chainsaw-carved sculptures decorate the cabins, including fake wood crows and toadstools.
Alberti says he started selling firewood at age 16. "I would cut and split wood all winter and pile it to season until I sold it the following autumn."
Alberti has used firewood to build other structures, including a giant 18-axle log truck and a full-sized semi truck (featured in Vol. 21, No. 1).

The scalphunters 1968 trailer
The Scalphunters is a 1968 American Western film starring Burt Lancaster, Ossie Davis and Telly Savalas. The film was directed by Sydney Pollack, with the score written by Elmer Bernstein. Davis was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the film.
The scalphunters 1968 fight scene
Joe Bass (Burt Lancaster), an American fur trapper, is making his way back home with a full cargo of hides when he encounters a group of Kiowa Indians led by Two Crows (Armando Silvestre), who insist on taking his furs. As "payment" they offer him a slave, Joseph Lee (Ossie Davis), whom they had previously taken from a group of Comanches. Reluctantly, realising he cannot fight them, Bass agrees to the trade.
Bass is slightly bemused by his new companion, who is a well-educated and refined house slave, unused to the ways of the West. Bass orders him to help him recover the furs from the Kiowa. Lee only agrees to help if Bass agrees to take him to Mexico where slavery is outlawed. Bass doesn't agree to that, but the two strike up a friendly relationship, with Bass teaching Lee how to catch food in the West.
As Lee and Bass come upon the Kiowa, they watch them being ambushed by a group of scalphunters, white Americans and Mexicans who were offered a bounty by the government for each Native scalp they brought in. These scalphunters, led by Jim Howie (Telly Savalas), kill the Kiowa and also steal the furs which Bass had hoped to recover. Bass and Lee are forced to track the party, hoping to take back the furs.
Unfortunately, while spying on them, Lee tips over a cliff and is captured by the scalphunters, who decide they can sell him for $1500 in Galveston, Texas. As they travel southwards, Jim Howie's girlfriend, Kate (Shelley Winters), reveals to Lee that they are heading for Mexico. He begins to win her favor, by doing her hair and telling her fortune, hoping she will persuade Howie to take him with them across the border, rather than sell him.
Bass meanwhile has been following closely on their trail, and at one point he pins them down with sniper fire, forcing them to let loose the packhorse carrying the furs. He is ambushed, however, and the scalphunters recover the furs and proceed on their way. Approaching their camp at night, Bass tries to persuade Lee to help him, but the slave is now set on going to Mexico and refuses him assistance.
Bass kills several of the scalphunters, by intentionally starting a rock slide in the mountains near where they are situated. After again failing to secure the furs, Bass contaminates the water of a nearby creek with locoweed, a toxic plant that causes the scalphunters' horses to run and buck wildly as they drink the water. Now thoroughly fed up, and wanting to make it to Mexico in safety, they send Lee as a courier to Bass telling him he can keep the furs. A wary Bass comes down to collect the lone packhorse, and is ambushed by Howie who had always intended to break the deal. In an ensuing struggle Howie is shot dead by Lee.
The bickering Bass and Lee then break into a long fight, in which neither can defeat the other. Meanwhile, a group of Kiowa attack and overrun the scalphunters. Two Crows, who had survived an earlier massacre, has fetched reinforcements. He takes back the furs, per their earlier deal. The story ends with Bass and Lee, now friends, preparing to follow the Kiowa to take back the furs.

The UN is considered to be a centre of multilateral democratic diplomacy. With its main bodies it covers practically every facet of international affairs – security affairs, economic affairs, cultural affairs, the codification of international law, the provision of humanitarian aid and so on. This article deals with the position of the Security Council in various relationships inside and outside the UN (i.e. towards the sovereign states) and it´s competencies. Thanks to its primary responsibility to provide peace and security it has (or should have) a vital role in international affairs. Unfortunately it does not always seem so. Special needs and interests of some statesoften cause the Security Council to be ´´inactive´´ or even ´´toothless´´. And there are many other problems – with its budget, robust bureaucracy, etc. that help raise debates about the need of reform – not just of the Security Council but of the whole UN as well. Never forget one historical fact – that the UN was built on the ash and ruins of the world after the Second World War. Let´s hope for the best – it means that mankind doesn´t need another devastating war which ´´helps´´ him build a new and more effective organization. Because it could occur that mankind will not need new organization any more... But I will try to focus on the other side – there are still problems which the UN (and quite often only the UN) can solve. And this is true for the Security Council as well. Slovakia assumed the presidency of the Security Council in February 2007 and we proved that even a small country can contribute to global security. One month is a very short time for resolving global problems but our biggest benefit was that we launched debates about the reform of the security sector – that is how to help post-war countries not to slip back in their previous turmoil. The Security Council has solved not just one big problem of the world. And one of the biggest appeared recently – terrorism. It´s one of the current global problems that the Security Council should address. But this is possible just when ´´some leading states´´ understand that this problem affects them as well.

AUDITE 97.540 [75:37]
We are accustomed to the idea of music emanating from royal and aristocratic patronage in the historical periods down to the Romantic Movement, but rather less so to the phenomenon of a royal figure actually composing music himself – Frederick the Great being a notable example. A few generations before him, the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I (ruled 1658-1705) composed a substantial body of choral compositions, probably having been taught by the court composer Antonio Bertali whilst Leopold was only second in line to throne.
On the evidence of this disc Leopold's compositions are accomplished if not especially memorable. In form they adhere to the concertato style of vocal and chamber music of the period, but otherwise they exemplify a comparative sparseness and austerity which does not really link the music to that of Leopold's contemporaries, such as Biber, Charpentier, and Stradella, but harks back to the earlier period of the Baroque era, such as Schütz and Monteverdi. The a capella choral sections of the Tres Lectiones, for example, recall an even earlier period than that, evoking the purer Renaissance polyphony of Palestrina, although the Response of the First Lesson 'Parce mihi, Domine' might put one in mind of Allegri. The fact that all four compositions here are connected with the theme of death rather recall the morbid inclinations of Schütz's patron Count Henry II as the spur to the composition of the Musikalische Exequien by that composer. The Missa pro Defunctis recorded here was written for the funeral of Leopold's first wife, Margarita Teresa, whilst the Tres Lectiones of the first nocturne of the Office for the Dead was composed on the death of his second wife, Claudia Felicitas.
Cappella Murensis and Les Cornets Noirs maintain a due solemnity and steadiness throughout their performances, whether that be by the subtle hues of the cornets and viols in the instrumental interludes, or through the careful and deliberately placed choral textures by the choir in music which often proceeds simply with one syllable to a chord, rather than by long melismas. The second of the Tres Lectiones is a good example of this, with a pregnant silence movingly interpolated in the middle of its Response.
The choral forces are small, so the tutti sections remain intimate and subtly nuanced when juxtaposed with the solo vocal passages. But there is considerable contrast among the latter, as the singers seek to imbue their respective music with a distinctive character. That can be heard to good effect in the Motetto on the seven dolours of the Virgin Mary, where the opening material is passed around almost in operatic fashion like an arioso among the soloists; they are supported by the expressive accompaniment of the instrumentalists, who sometimes imitate the voices. Although much of the Requiem setting is surprisingly radiant – like the Fauré setting two centuries later, it omits the 'Dies irae' section – the soloists transmit an effective plaintive quality in the 'Agnus Dei'. The bass Lisandro Abadie sounds authoritative and commanding, though the tenor Hans Jörg Mammel is more sensitive and thoughtful in contrast. Alex Potter, taking the (male) alto line, is also sensitive to the vulnerability of the music, and is technically polished, though perhaps there is a certain down-to-earth charm, redolent of Anglican choral singing, which does not always tap the mystical serenity at the core of the music.
One other qualm is that the acoustic of Muri abbey church comes across in this recording as confined, with little reverberation, though that does preserve the character of this music as expressing private grief and mourning, rather than public ceremony. Otherwise this disc is a worthwhile introduction to a very little-known figure in musical history.

The guide on the shuttle picking us up from the airport had recommended an Italian bakery right next to our hotel, so we thought we'd give it a go in lieu of the bland hotel breakfast. Eataly is a super fun place to go to for an Italian experience in New York and far from just a bakery. It's a café, a restaurant and a grocery store. You can also shop online if you're craving Italian fare everything from olive oil, fresh truffles or meat. It was founded in Torino, Italy in 2007 and now has many locations around the world. Heads up French subbies, the Paris Eataly should open in 2018!
We ordered some yummy pastries and coffee and cappuccinos. We were lucky to grab a table while waiting in line, because the place was pretty busy around 8:30 am/ 9 am.
This morning was dedicated to shopping : one can't go to NYC and not partake in one of the four life sustaining activities : eat, drink , sleep and SHOP ! After filling our cultural needs with as many museums as we could take yesterday afternoon, it was high time for retail therapy. We took the subway to Herald Square to what used to be the largest department store in the world : I'm talking about Macy's of course.
I checked out the make up counters, here is the Inglot one, that you unfortunately don't have in France. We also went to the shoe floor and had some fun there, especially in the sale side sections. I'll be posting on this shortly. I wasn't able to find any Tory Burch shoes there and was surprised. I think they told me Tory Burch is carried in Bloomingdales instead.
After Macy's, we went to my favorite store in the world : Yes, Sephora! I couldn't pass up the VIB sale and I'll be posting my haul soon as well, so please stay tuned for it. From there we went on to Victoria's Secret flagship store. The post for the VS haul is already up. We also stopped at a few other shops such as Footlocker. All the shops were decorated for Xmas and had Xmas music playing even though, Thanksgiving isn't passed yet. We had a really fun time, well some more than others, haha, but then I can shop all day long !
Our stomachs reminded us then that shopping really is an actual calorie burning sport so we set about finding a place to eat.
We were just walking on when we passed this burger joint and thought let's try this one out. We already had the trademark New York pizza, now it was high time for a taste of a New York Burger ! This restaurant is easy going with multiple screens showing sports. We had the option of dining near the street and we went with a little window shopping along with our lunch. Who doesn't love to people watch especially when traveling ? We tried a variety of offerings from the menu from Bronx burgers, steak and cheese sandwiches to the Vegetarian Burger. They also served local beers, but I had to go for the Root beer which is impossible to find in Europe. Only downside, they didn't have the diet kind. The toppings are elaborate and the sides selection impressive. The portions are what you expect in the USA : huge compared to European sizes haha!
All in all, it was quite good if a little on the pricey side for a hamburger place, but after all this is NYC!
We headed back the hotel to drop our purchases off, then headed out to visit the High Line.
The High Line was on the list of things I really wanted to do, because last time I was in NYC it hadn't opened yet (it was built in 2009). I was also recommended to go by fellow travel Instagramer Rainer from Endlessxjourney. He had tweeted about it and his pics really made me want to go. You should check out his Instagram account, his photos are stunning !
It is a 1.45-mile-long (2.33 km) New York City linear park built in Manhattan on an elevated section of a disused New York Central Railroad spur called the West Side Line. Inspired by the 3-mile (4.8-kilometer) Promenade Plantée (tree-lined walkway), a similar project in Paris completed in 1993, the High Line has been redesigned and planted as an aerial greenway and rails-to-trails park. I've been to and enjoyed the French Promenade Plantée and will be posting about it some time. So I was really curious to see how the NYC version would compare.
The High Line starts in Chelsea and goes all the way to the Meatpacking district. This was perfect for us. We went on foot as it was near our hotel and found it quite easily. But had to ask some kids, who were skate boarding, how to get on it. They were quite helpful and walked with us to the closest entrance which was a staircase under a bridge. The park is open from 7 am to 7 pm in the winter and till 10 pm in the summer.
This walkway is quite beautiful and gives a wonderful impression of floating above ground. You are essentially walking with skyscrapers around you so it's very different from the Paris one where the buildings aren't higher than 7 stories. It's very peaceful even though you are in the heart of the city. You walk above the bustling traffic. The walkway swells and constricts following the trail tracks which have been kept most of the way. At times you follow them right through buildings! Temporary stores have popped up selling souvenirs and art in those buildings.
There are many street art sculptures along the way, some that resemble tags. Many temporary exhibits are featured during the year. A variety of plants, more than 210 species to be precise, have been placed along the walkway with signs to let strollers learn their names.
The walkway is also a lot wider than the Parisian one and at times has been designed to include terraces with lounge chairs, and even an amphitheater crossing over a busy street with a window letting people soak in the unusual views and perspectives.
I loved taking a stroll down the High Line and admiring the unique views of Manhattan.
We got down at the Meat packing district because low and behold I had spotted a Tory Burch store ! Yes, I was finally going to get my Tory Burch Caroline flats after all J! After this shopping interlude, we wandered the busy streets of this district. It actually was built on a Native American trading station called "Sapohanikan" that was on the riverbank in pre-colonial times. It's current name though stems from the many slaughterhouses and packing plants that were housed there starting from 1900s. The Gansevoort market place was located there along with many other market places. Originally it was just an open air market but since then a building has been erected.
A fun little factoid is that Gansevoort Street is almost perfectly aligned to the Spring equinox!
After walking around all afternoon the burgers had worn off and we were ready for a little snack. We walked in the Gansevoort market place, a 8000 square foot market dedicated to gourmet food and filled with small stands, food produce and eateries.
A seating and table area is off to the side and let people sit together after purchasing their food in a very laid back and cozy atmosphere. We followed Oprah's recommendation and went with The Bruffin for our snack. It's a hybrid between a brioche and a muffin and among Oprah's Favorites Things in 2015 ! The concept is to be a "Meal in a Muffin" with 450 calories a pop (hum.. yes), and a variety of international influences. The French Bruffin for example has bacon, gruyere cheese and brie. We went for the sweet Bruffin and let me tell you Oprah had it right !
From the Meatpacking district we headed over to Greenwhich village. Its name comes from the Dutch Groenwijck meaning green village and was "anglicized" into Greenwhich. This neighborhood has been known as an artists' haven but has undergone a great deal of commercialization and is now ranked among the most expensive housing. It is also the cradle of the LGBT movement.
We just walked along the streets taking in the views. This village has a quiet charm lent by the fact the streets tend to curve unexpectedly and don't seem to conform to the NYC grid as the rest of the neighborhoods do. We admired the Jefferson Market Library which was once a court house and now houses a branch of the New York Public Library.
This restaurant / bar's name just cracked me up ! I had to capture it on film !
A friend of mine wanted to see the famous NYU that has a campus there since the 1830s. We stopped and admired the university.
Afterwards we headed over to Washington Square Park which is the center and heart of the neighborhood. We saw chess players and families in the park. We admired the Washington Square Arch.
I left my friends in the village, as I was spending the evening with my cousins from Connecticut. I went to meet them at Grand Central Station and after yet another stop at Sephora, I know I know ! We went for an all American restaurant if not from New York : Dallas BBQ ! Our Grandfather is from Texas so it was fine by me. After pizza, a steakhouse and burgers, BBQ ribs was next on the menu!
This restaurant is about casual dining and nice atmosphere. There are screens as well for the sports fans out there with a bar. We went directly to our table we had made a reservation for. It had a been several years since I hadn't seen my family so we were in a celebrating frame of mind ! It was cocktails for everyone ! And what crazy cocktails too ! I think I never drank such a huge cocktail : it definitely is Texas sized ! I chose a frozen apple martini since frozen drinks are hard to come by in Paris, even if you can timidly start finding some at chains like the Hard Rock Café. They are served with a shot glass in the Cocktail glass and a champagne half bottle on the side ! To even pour the champagne into the cocktail, you have to drink some of it down first. Adding the champagne causes fizzing kind of like a Bath Bomb ! You need to chug it fast or it overflows ! I decided not to pour the champagne in all at once, or I would have been drunk right off the bat !
We decided to order an appetizer for everyone and ended up sharing a mountain of fried onions : the Full sized Onion Loaf ($6.99) which Dallas BBQ claims to be the best in NYC ! Well it sure seemed the biggest at least J. We were seven and failed to finish it up.
We all enjoyed the delicious soul food. I ordered the combo : Crispy Shrimp, half rotisserie chicken and back ribs served with cornbread and French fried Idaho potatoes, and a side of fresh garden salad. Yes I needed some greenery in there ! Needless to say it was way too much and I only sampled a couple bites of each dish.
After stuffing ourselves, I went back with my cousins to Grand Central Station to let them get on the last train to Connecticut. We had such a good time laughing and catching up, it was hard saying goodbye. Thanks again for the great memories ! Come and see me soon in Paris !
Once they safely boarded their train, I cabbed it to the Airbnb rental my sister had with some girlfriends. She had landed a couple hours ago and come all the way from Las Vegas just to see me for the weekend. Needless to say I was delighted as we don't see each other as often as we'd like. Those are the drawbacks to an international family. We chatted until it was time to go out. What else can you do on a Saturday night, right? From there we met up with a friend who drove us to Queens to go clubbing. You can't come to New York and not explore the night scene !
Queens is the easternmost and largest in area of the five boroughs of New York City, geographically adjacent to the borough of Brooklyn at the western end of Long Island. We drove down the Queensboro bridge and I admired the night time view of the city. I was glad to drive through it since this is a part of NYC we weren't planning on visiting with my French friends.
I hadn't had time to change into appropriate club attire since I had been off doing touristy things all day. The friend we were with told me not to worry as he knew the people and place we were going to.
There was a huge line already in front of the club by the time we arrived. But we walked right up to the front and got in before anyone else. I wasn't even allowed to pay anything ! The club has two main rooms, one with a rounded bar at the center with dance music, and another bigger room with the DJ on one end ,the VIP section on the other and a long bar in between alongside the wall. Once inside we headed straight off to the VIP section. It was a couple steps higher and let you have a nice view of the club and crowd. The music on this side of the club was hip hop. There were hookahs for which you could choose different flavors and even the prerequisite dancing girls on the bar top. I had a great time between dancing, drinking and goofing around.
All in all it was a blast and a really fun night. However all good things must come to an end. I knew my French friends would be off early the next morning as it would be our last day in NYC, so even though I wanted to stay with my sister the whole night long, I had to head home around 3 am, or there would be no getting out of bed for me !
Haha 🙂 Yes you are right, I take pictures with my iPhone 6 so it's never very far, and even though I'm not a great photographer I enjoy taking shots at everything that strikes my eyes! Also these travel posts are kind of like a diary of my wanderings so I take pics of all the minute details. I love traveling so thanks I had great fun and am happy to share my experience.
omg cannot wait for the haul posts!
Ok next time I'm in NYC I'll go to Long Island. Is there anything specific I should see?
Thanks for following my blog ! Have a great new year !
Thanks so much for your kind comment ! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've been to Wisconsin for a Ren faire and would love to see more of the state it's beautiful!
I miss the hills and mountains and valleys of New York. I live south of Milwaukee, on Lake Michigan, and I have to say that living on Lake Michigan (except in the winter – lake-effect snow) and catching one of the beautiful sunrises is the only good thing about living here. How did I end up here, when I started in New Your?
I lived in des plaines near Chicago for a couple years . Lake effect snow is really something! I was born in Vegas so getting used to bitter cold is no easy feat haha!
I go to southern Texas, to compete in some veteran's adaptive sports, and I can't handle the heat. Had to back out of one of my events and get into the air conditioning. MS doesn't tolerate heat at all.
My Grandpa is from Northern Texas, Wichita Falls, so I've never been in southern Texas, but would love to go. Sorry to hear you have MS, wow that's really brave to compete in sports! Well it's good that the cold is easier to handle for you.
Yes it is. And the end of June I travel to Salt Lake City for a week of veterans wheelchair games. My brother lives in northern Texas as well. He's in Whitesboro, which is near Gainsville.
Thanks! Let me know if you do and what you visited!

Evil can be sexy.
(2018) Thriller (20th Century Fox) Jeff Bridges, Cynthia Erivo, Dakota Johnson, Jon Hamm, Chris Hemsworth, Cailee Spaeny, Lewis Pullman, Nick Offerman, Xavier Dolan, Shea Whigham, Mark O'Brien, Charles Halford, Jim O'Heir, Gerry Nairn, Alvina August, London A. Morrison, Bethany Brown, Rebecca Toolan, Hannah Jane Zirke, Billy Wickman, William B. Davis, Tally Rodin. Directed by Drew Goddard
This was one of my favorite movies of 2018. Goddard hits it out of the park as a group of disparate characters gather at a rundown motel straddling the California-Nevada state line. It is 1969, and the El Royale lost its gaming license a year prior and has fallen on hard times ever since – once it was a playground for the rich and shameless.
Being checked in by whitebread clerk Miles Miller (Pullman) is Father Dan Flynn (Bridges), on the road to see his family; vacuum salesman Laramie Seymour Sullivan (Hamm) who has the patter and the smile to sell an Eskimo an ice cube; singer Darlene Sweet (Erivo) who is on her way to a gig in Reno and needs a cheap place to stay for the night; and young Emily Summerspring (Johnson) who just wants everyone to stay the hell away from her.
As it turns out, all four of the guests have secrets. As it turns out, the hotel has secrets too – one of which is revealed in the prologue. The story is told non-sequentially but we eventually learn why each of them is there. Emily, for example, has kidnapped her kid sister Rose (Spaeny) from a charismatic cult leader named Billy Lee (Hemsworth), who doesn't take kindly to others stealing his property. It all ends up in a confrontation in the lobby of the El Royale.
I loved the complexity of the story, which Goddard tells non-sequentially, going from room to room to concentrate on each individual guest. There are some twists and turns – some of which are jaw-dropping – and plenty of sex and violence. Comparisons have been made to early Tarantino and the comparison isn't out of line; in fact, at times, I think that this homage to the pop culture maestro is a little too strong but if one is going to imitate someone, Tarantino is a good one to emulate.
Goddard is aided by a tremendous cast, all of whom deliver strong performances. The real revelation is Tony award winner Erivo who absolutely kills it as Darlene Sweet (clearly based on Darlene Love), and she sings mighty nicely some soul classics from the early 60s. She also has a scene with Bridges that absolutely gave me the chills; I thought for sure she would have gotten a Best Supporting Actress nomination, but sadly she didn't. She deserved it, though. Her strong work since then has shown that her performance here is no fluke; she is a talent who is going to be one of the biggest stars in Hollywood in short order.
Bridges adds heart to the proceedings and Hamm gives a sly performance. I also loved Hemsworth, who plays Billy Lee as a combination of Charles Manson and Jim Morrison. Dakota Johnson has never been sexier than she is here, which includes her 50 Shades films.
realize that this isn't going to be a film that appeals to everyone. Some might find it overly violent – and it is. Some might find it overly self-indulgent – which it is. Others might think it's too Tarantino-esque – guilty as charged. However, I personally look at those as strong points in this film. It's one that I have watched several times since and it hasn't lost its appeal. That's my definition of a great film.
REASONS TO SEE: Extremely well-written and tied nicely together at the end. Strong performances throughout, particularly from Erivo. Places itself nicely in the era. Some of the twists are a bit unexpected.
REASONS TO AVOID: Feels a little bit too much like a Tarantino film.
FAMILY VALUES: There is some fairly graphic violence, brief nudity and sexuality, some drug content and a copious amount of profanity.
TRIVIAL PURSUIT: The El Royale is based loosely on the CalNeva resort in Lake Tahoe. The hotel was once owned by Frank Sinatra.

Anne Hathaway figures out that Columbia has buried her movie.
(Columbia) Anne Hathaway, Patrick Wilson, David Morse, Andre Braugher, Clea DuVall, Dianne Wiest, William B. Davis, Ryan Robbins, Don Thompson. Directed by Rodrigo Garcia
If we're going to properly deal with life, we also must learn how to deal with death. Every so often, we experience an event in which death stares us right in the face. How we react to that can be a life-defining moment – or a life-destroying one.
Claire (Hathaway) is a grief counselor and budding psychiatrist who is assigned to work with the few survivors of a horrific commercial airline crash. Her group contains the suspicious and skeptical Shannon (DuVall), the paranoid Norman (Thompson) and the euphoric stockbroker Eric (Wilson) whose brush with death has turned him into a type "A" personality.
Soon, the passengers begin to assert that contrary to the official report (which blamed the crash on pilot error), there had been an explosion in the main cabin. Arkin (Morse), an airline executive, begins to lurk around Claire's patients and sessions, and as the survivors begin to disappear one by one, Claire begins to suspect that a conspiracy is afoot.
When she reports her suspicions to her boss (Braugher), she is met with some skepticism but as the coincidences begin to mount, even he starts to admit there might be something to her fears. In the meantime, she has become more and more attracted to Eric who is encouraging her to cross ethical lines (or as she incorrectly puts it in the dialogue, unethical lines). Soon, Claire herself finds that she may be in danger of joining the list of victims of the crash.
This movie was shelved several times from the Sony release schedule, eventually receiving a modest and somewhat begrudging limited run with a minimum of publicity behind it. This is what is known as burying a film, and that's just what happened to Passengers. Generally, that means the film is truly awful and the studio is only releasing it to make back a modicum of its cost; generally execs will view the buried film as a kind of tax write-off.
I was expecting the worst when I saw this and was surprised to find that it wasn't truly bad. Hathaway is an engaging performer and even if there were a few wrong notes hit for her as a psychiatrist, she makes up for it by being sympathetic (other than the ethical violation thing) and interesting. While the subplot with her sister seemed a bit forced, still Hathaway is one of the better things in the movie.
The script definitely has a "Twilight Zone" feel to it and while I think they would have benefitted with the input of a Rod Serling or a Richard Matheson, director Garcia and writer Ronnie Christensen have managed to create a nice, unsettling atmosphere with some legitimate spine-tingling moments. Unfortunately, much of the good will is undone with the ending, which is borrowed from a recent classic and brings the movie screeching to a halt. It's not so much the concept I had problems with but with the execution, which felt a little too close to the way the twist was revealed in the other movie I referred to.
This is one of those movies that is certainly flawed but has enough going for it to get a mild recommendation. Those who like those old TV shows like "The Outer Limits" and of course "The Twilight Zone" might get a kick out of this. Those who like Anne Hathaway will certainly enjoy this since she's in virtually every scene. This isn't a hidden gem so much as a hidden rhinestone; still, it is much better than I expected it to be.
WHY RENT THIS: Hathaway is becoming one of the most compelling actresses in Hollywood. Some seriously good moments in the thriller vein, especially if you're a fan of "The Twilight Zone."
WHY RENT SOMETHING ELSE: The "twist" ending has been done before and much better; savvy moviegoers will be able to suss it out pretty quickly.
FAMILY VALUES: A few decent scares and some sensuality make this suitable for older teens.
TRIVIAL PURSUIT: Eric tells Claire he's a vice-president at the brokerage firm Kahane-Drake. Nathan Kahane and Joe Drake are the executive producers on the film.
NOTABLE DVD EXTRAS: A feature about the staging of the plane crash is relatively interesting, but most of the features are the usual standards.

Confessional subscription employs three main terms in its nomenclature: absolute, strict/full, and loose. ARBCA has adopted the middle position. According to Dr. Morton H. Smith, "strict or full subscription takes at face value" the terminology used in adopting a confession of faith.
Taken at face value, these words imply, even though they do not explicitly state, strict, or full subscription. This does not mean that we treat every doctrine in the Confession as if it were equally important, but we do commit ourselves to all of the doctrines of the Confession. In addition, as Dr. Smith says so well, "full subscription does not require the adoption of every word of the Confession or Catechisms, but positively believes that we are adopting every doctrine or teaching of the Confession or Catechisms." This is an important distinction, and needs to be understood. It is possible for an individual, a church, or an association to be cautious about the wording used to express a specific doctrine without denying the doctrine that wording seeks to define. Full subscription honestly adopts all of the doctrines expressed in the confessional formulation. In the case of the Association of Reformed Baptist Churches of America, this means that by subscribing to the document commonly known as the London Baptist Confession of 1689, we receive all of the doctrines contained in it as true, founded on the Word of God.


After lurking around these forums for the past 6 months, iv feel its time to say hello and thank you guys for the wealth of knowledge you all have. The tips and information you provide is outstanding to say the least. Good to see everyone helping each other out for no benefit of their own. This stuff is addictive!
Iv only started to travel over the past 3 or so years and only just recently have I started to really look into accruing points/status credits. Being on an average income, it will take me a while to get where I want. I was lucky enough to start looking into these forums when Citibank first offered there Signature credit card fee free for life. I jumped on that and now just use it for everything possible and pay it of at the end of the month in full.
Just wondering, are there any other tips that you use to passively accrue points?
I look forward to hopefully offering something to these forums and catching up at some of the meets.
Amazed that username was still available.


What a fantastic day this was. Sun, sea and Barbecue with the occasional rowing. The Bridge skiff race was brilliant – a "le Mans" start from the beach and a time trial to the bridge and back. Coquet Spirit came first, followed by the Pride of Aln with 2 new rowers on board (welcome!), and the Coquet Venture hot on its heels. Insider information admitted that the winning boat had a "pie powered engine in it". We hope to see more times posted by other crews this season – 31 minutes to beat!
The afternoon row was much more of a social event for most as Richard, Christine and Rhoda were on a spying mission after successfully and discretely(or not) infiltrating the Amble crew.
Thank you for all who put their time in organising today, the weather (glorious) the rowing, the extensive catering, the barbecue, all the catering and everyone who brought food and drink, helped serve it, and clear away afterwards.
A special big thank you to Amble and Blyth for attending which, as always, is a real pleasure to host.

The Damai Golf and Country Club in Sarawak opened in 1996 and features the first Arnold Palmer designed golf course in Malaysia. The golf course borders the foothills of Mount Santubong and plays along the beaches, rocky outcrops and mangrove forests on a peninsula protruding into the South China Sea. Damai Golf and Country Club has hosted major golf events such as the Damai Challenge, World Golf Amateur Challenge and Carlsberg Golf Classic.
Damai consists of the Mountain Nine and the Ocean Nine which are uniquely different in character. The front Mountain Nine offers challenging golf in a rocky, natural rainforest setting. It follows the reliefs of mountain foothills. The back Ocean Nine hugs the South China Sea and features picturesque fairways and lovely beaches. Greens are usually small and favor precise approach shots.
The best holes include the 3rd, a short 147 yard par-3 that plays to an elevated green. Two deep bunkers in front, right & left of the green and a stream running on the right wait for wayward shots. The signature 17th is a 168 yard par-3. It plays somewhat downhill with the South China Sea covering three sides of the green. The club selection is critical as the prevailing winds come into play daily. The closing par-5 is a magnificent dogleg to the right. The entire left side is guarded by the ocean and the entire right by trees. Moreover, tight landing areas make precise shot-making a must to have a chance for par. With mountains in the background and beaches and ocean on the sides, this hole was once chosen the second most picturesque hole in Malaysia. The Damai Golf and Country Club offers facilities such as a grass driving range, practice areas, golfer's cafe, pro shop, and locker rooms. The clubhouse is more than adequate for most golfers' needs.


2009: Tomb of Doom, inspired by the museum's exhibits Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs and Take Me There: Egypt, the Haunted House invited visitors to cross the Desert of Despair, navigate the Vile Nile and explore the Pyramids of Peril in a Quest for the Lost Mummy. There was also a Mummy Maze, Skeleton Crypt, and Embalming Chamber. Thanks to the new Welcome Center, part of the 2009 expansion, Haunted House visitors queued indoors for the very first time. It was also the beginning of the PNC's 10-year presenting sponsorship of the Haunted House.

The adventure terminated at the End of the Line! This was the final year for the Haunted House façade on the outside of the museum, and the first year for a new character—Frances the Friendly Witch.
2007: Ghostly Grand Hotel took visitors to a frighteningly fantastic resort staffed by Morticia the Maid, the Beastly Bellhop, and the Head Chef of the Kreepy Kitchen. This was the final time the Guild erected its big white tent in Festival Park—outdoor festivities ended after that year's Haunted House.
2006: Monster Manor was a house in the English countryside like no other, filled with monsters, ghosts, and all sorts of terrifying creatures!
2005: Camp Creepy, which included a visit to a haunted summer camp complete with crazed counselors, swamp creatures, a foul cafeteria, and things that went "bump!" in the night. This year also marked the first overnight camp for Boy Scouts (Oct. 21) and Girl Scouts (Oct. 23), where courageous campers enjoyed a pizza party, a show in the SpaceQuest Planetarium, a spooky movie in Lilly Theater, and a behind-the-scenes tour of the Haunted House. This was the most successful Haunted House in the Guild's history, raising more than $415,000 for the museum.
2004: Ghost-Town was based on a Western theme, withspooky cowboys and cow-ghouls hanging out at a saloon, a grizzly sheriff at the jail, and the Boot Hill cemetery where the residents were not resting in peace.
2003: Ghostly Gala celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Haunted House in the mysterious Minster family home.
2002: Phantom Theatre was full of phantastic frights. It featured a haunted theater—including wardrobe, dressing, and makeup rooms, stage, and orchestra pit—haunted by the Phantom, Count Dracula, the Conductor, and the Diva, all assisted by various haunting stage hands.
2001: Terrifying Tales was based on emphasizing reading by having all the rooms based on fairy tales.
2000: Medieval Millennium marked the transition to a new century and new millennium with a Haunted House based on life from 1,000 years in the past.

Q: How to debug the Java error "return cannot convert from java.lang.String to int" In the first method, I am getting this error:

return cannot convert from java.lang.String to int

We were trying to solve it, but we don't know what to do. The method will a String f as a parameter representing the name of the file. The purpose of this method is to read the file and it will return a String with the content of the file.
Here is my code:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
public class Encryption02{
  public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException{

    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println("Enter the name of the file");
    String f = input.nextLine();
    String s = " ";

    readFile(f);
    writeToFile(f,s);
  }
  public static int getUnicode(char c){
    int unicode = (int) c;
    return c;
  }
  public static int readFile(String f)throws IOException{
    Scanner input = new Scanner(new File(f));

    while(input.hasNext()){
      f = input.nextLine();
      String a= String.valueOf(f);
     return f;
    }
  }
  public static void writeToFile(String f, String s)throws IOException{
    Scanner input = new Scanner(new File(f));
    PrintWriter output = new PrintWriter(""+f+"Output.txt");
    while(input.hasNext()){
      f = input.nextLine();
      for(int i = 0; i < f.length(); i++){
        int x = f.charAt(i);
        output.println(x);
      }
      output.println();
    }
    output.close();
  }
  public static void removeLastChars(String s){
   System.out.println(s.substring(0, 4));
  }
}

A: You have to check the readFile() function. The while loop returns the value of only the first line. You also didn't assign any value in your s variable.
I have edited your code to let the readFile works. You can check it below:
Note: I have used the StringBuilder it is better than String.
public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException{

   Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
   System.out.println("Enter the name of the file");
   String f = input.nextLine();
   String s = " ";

   s = readFile(f); // Edited this line
   writeToFile(f,s);
}
...
public static String readFile(String f)throws IOException{ // Edited the return type
   Scanner input = new Scanner(new File(f));

   StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

   while(input.hasNext()){ // Edited the while loop
      f = input.nextLine();
      String a= String.valueOf(f);

      sb.append(a);

      if(input.hasNext())
         sb.append("\n");
      }

   return sb.toString();
 }

The U19 team are into another UEFA Youth League Final Four. It's the third time in a row that they are heading for Nyon, in search of a third European crown, from April 26 to 29, where the semi-final will be against Chelsea, who defeated Dynamo Zagreb on Wednesday.
The team topped their first round group with 11 out of 18 possible points, playing typical Barça football against the same sides that the first team played in the Champions League (Tottenham, Inter and PSV), and then comfortably beating Hertha Berlin 3-0.
Barça have been the dominant force in this relatively young competition. They won the first ever edition in 2013/14 and are now chasing the title for the third time. As is their rival in the next game, Chelsea, the only other team to have lifted the trophy twice.
La Masia is as strong as ever. The current Barça B squad includes a number of graduates from the Euro-conquering youth side, namely Jandro, Konrad de la Fuente, Nils Mortimer and Arnau Tenas who have all made Division 2B debuts. And captain Marqués is now alternating duties between the two sides.
Mika Marmol is a similar case. He started the season with the U19B team but made his Youth League debut on Tuesday to help cover for the many injuries in Denis Silva's squad.

Best Sustainability Concept: Taco Tuesday Re-imagined, Boston College
Boston College chefs created an appealing dish that uses underutilized seafood species instead of overfished alternatives, which has proven beneficial both for the ecology, for seafood-loving students and for the program's bottom line.
Mike Buzalka | Jul 29, 2019
One of the most serious sustainability issues facing society is the depletion of endangered sea species because of overfishing driven by consumer demand. That demand in turn is energized both by the traditional appeal of seafood and by studies that document the health benefits of consuming seafood. So one should eat more fish, but that doesn't mean it has to be endangered species—and that is the tack taken by Boston College (BC) Dining Services with a weekly menu special dubbed Taco Tuesday Re-imagined, which features a banh mi fish taco made with locally harvested underutilized fish species Atlantic pollock and Acadian redfish. For an illustrated look at the concept, go here.
Seafood-loving BC students seem to have embraced this new fish taco version, as the school sells an average of 225 pounds of the product per week. That not only helps the ecology but also the dining department's bottom line, since the two under-utilized species are considerably less expensive to procure, with both costing a dollar less per pound than the popular Atlantic cod alternative.
"Our fish taco, a traditional dish reimagined, seeks to achieve our goals to serve delicious, nutritious and responsibly sourced food from our local waters," summarizes Julianne Stelmaszyk, manager of regional and sustainable food systems for BC Dining.
Educational signage encouraged students to try the "re-imagined" taco by emphasizing its ecological benefits.
So where did the idea come from? It began with a trip that more than 30 BC Dining staff members took last summer to tour regional producer North Coast Seafoods, one of the department's vendors.
"In their facility on Boston's dry dock, we observed the receiving, processing and food safety checks of the food they serve and what we source every day," recalls Stelmaszyk. "From North Coast's experts, we learned about many of the problems and challenges facing today's fisheries, due to overfishing and depletion of seafood sources in the Gulf of Maine region."
As part of the visit, the BC Dining team was tasked with designing recipes using local and underutilized fish that could serve as sustainable substitutes for overfished species. It included a seafood cooking competition between staff chefs that was judged by Andrew Wilkinson, R&D chef at North Coast, and it was in this event that the fish taco stood out.
Then, later in the summer, the management team at BC's Corcoran's Commons decided to incorporate the dish into its offering, using Atlantic pollock or Acadian redfish as the main ingredient in the recipe.
Good decision! At the first dinner service, it sold out within two hours and a subsequent social media poll indicated that almost two-thirds (63%) of students said they not only enjoyed the dish but also wanted it on the menu going forward.
Wilkinson was subsequently invited to come to BC Dining's weekly culinary showcase where he engaged with students and discussed sustainable seafood practices. As a fun touch to the event, BC Dining interns dressed up in a Fish Taco costume to promote the special dish that was featured that night for dinner.
"Customers' love for the dish is our greatest asset, and indeed it is the best part of the reimagined Taco Tuesday," Stelmaszyk observes. "We like to think of the introduction of banh mi fish taco as a 'triple win' situation because it is sustainably sourced, affordable and delicious!"
As "underloved" fish species, Atlantic pollock and Acadian redfish—both from the Gulf of Maine, which stretches from Cape Cod to the Bay of Fundy—are harvested well below their designated quota, so they are available in greater volume, and thus less expensive, than the overfished Atlantic cod.
"Local sourcing can be challenging for foodservice operations with short growing seasons, food costs and distribution inefficiencies," Stelmaszyk says. "By taking full advantage of our coastal location, we've found unique opportunities to support local food systems by increasing our local seafood supply. By introducing this new banh mi fish taco through reimagining Taco Tuesday, we are directly contributing to a more sustainable, transparent and regional food system."
