SF Taxi Media: SFMTA Recommendations For Medallion Reform Could Have Serious Impacts. Important Information For The Taxi Industry. By John Han.
SFMTA Recommendations For Medallion Reform Could Have Serious Impacts. Important Information For The Taxi Industry. By John Han.
The Taxi Services staff of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) has issued a draft of proposals regarding medallion reform. These drafts were presented for public discussion at town hall meetings held February 14, 2012 at One South Van Ness Ave, Second Floor Atrium.
Converting thirty three percent, or one-third, of the taxi fleet into "direct lease permits". This means that over time, the SFMTA would recover roughly 500 medallions through "death", "revocation", and "new issue", thus acting as the holder to these medallions, eying roughly $12 million in annual revenue, through the direct leasing system to cab companies. This may be regarded as the "corporate medallion", or perhaps could also be referred to as a "municipal medallion". These medallions would operate as gates and gas only.
Acknowledging medallions that have already been sold (about 210) shall remain salable. The current fixed rate being $250,000 for purchasing a medallion.
Retaining the core principles of Prop K by continuing to issue non-purchased medallions to the waiting list until the list is exhausted. And then, issue medallions by A-Card seniority.
Clean up the waiting list and cut it off around 1100.
Prohibit Affiliate leases. This means that once the life of an Affiliate lease vehicle has expired, the medallion holder would have to operate the new replacement vehicle through a company's management as a gate and gas taxi. If successful, there would ultimately be no more Affiliate taxicabs.
Not allowing Pre K medallion owners to sell, and not allowing existing corporate medallions to be sold to new buyers either. These medallions would be returned to the City over time, and in turn, issued to the waiting list presumably as non-purchased medallions.
All newly issued medallions would either be leased directly or sold by the SFMTA.
The Municipal Transportation Agency (MTA) Board of Directors is expected to consider these proposals and more, at its March 6th, 2012 regular meeting at City Hall, Room 400 at 1pm. Public comment will be available. The proposals above are drafts and therefore, it is presumed they are subject to possible changes.
Below is a text of the draft proposals.
A person with a disability that prevents their meeting the driving requirement.
to circulate among this eligible population as they come back through death or revocation.
Price: $2,500/month, with $500 reduction for fulfillment of dispatch quotas.
• What is a qualifying company?
• What is dispatch quota?
Keep rule that if they don't sell within a certain amount of time of offer they are no longer on seller list.
Prohibit affiliate leases, grandfather existing leases for the life of the vehicle.
No pre-K or corporate medallion sales - all that are returned go back to waiting list.
Interim term: all new issues split between list and leases until maximum lease ratio is reached, then all to list until list is exhausted.
Long term scenario: all newly issued medallions would either be leased directly or sold by SFMTA.
Hi John, how the waiting list can be exhausted ?
If the medallions are going to be given to the cab companies then this list goes nowhere. It will be exhausted when each one will dies because to give 500 medallions to the cab companies from death of owners, revocation or new issued need another 10 years. By that time who one of us will be alive ?? So SFMTA will maintain the core of Prop K that wait list will remain open till exhausted !
They just sold 210 medallions for $ 250,000 each and now they want these and all other affiliates to operate the medallion under cab company. There are 800 such cabs out of 1500.
Did anyone seen the fish queen swimming dance in Canadian water.
I have read the SEMTA draft proposal,now let's see whether The Municipal Transportation Agency (MTA) Board of Directors would act upon the proposal or not!

Relient K (2000)
Label: Gotee
Wake Up Call by Relient K
"It's three pm" she said.
I said "You're crazy"
She said "Get out of bed.
Why are you so lazy?
Why waste the day away?"
I said "Because I'm tired."
"Wendy's called by the way.
They told me that you're fired."
So reckless for all these years,
I crashed into a wall.
There's a ringing in my ears,
and it's my wake-up call.
Jesus gave me a wake up call.
Take this world with a grain of salt.
"It's three am" she said
"Who are you Matchbox 20?"
She said "Are you getting rest?"
Sarcastic, I said "Plenty!"
"Don't be a hypocrite" I asked,
"What are you saying?"
"When you praise God do you mean it?
are you sleeping while you're praying?"
I know that pride and summertime come before fall.
Almost missed the bus, but Jesus gave me a wake-up call.

We are pleased to announce the $30 million initial closing, in January, of our latest real estate investment vehicle, Pathfinder Partners Opportunity Fund V-A ('Fund V-A'). We are targeting a $100-$150 million fundraise in Fund V-A. Click here for a summary brochure on Pathfinder Fund V-A.
We held our annual investor meetings in March and a recurring question was "Where are the opportunities today and in the next couple of years and how do they differ from the opportunities you've been finding for the past few years?" That's a question we ask ourselves on pretty much a daily basis (and have asked ever since we conceived of Pathfinder a decade ago). We've long prided ourselves on not following the herd – when others zig, we try to zag. But, what does that really mean today, when multifamily cap rates – especially in gateway cities – are at historic lows, debt is widely available and it's never been more of a grind to buy truly off-market, deep value-add properties.
Last year, I wrote an article about navigating the commercial lending environment ("Navigating Today's Lending Environment", March, 2014) which had improved from the dog days of the 2009 Great Recession and continues to improve with more financial institutions now willing to lend to a broader array of borrowers today. I also gave some super-secret insight into our debt strategy at Pathfinder – rule #1 being "Match Your Debt to Your Business Plan!" One of the key concepts behind this strategy is to not only pick the right lender, but the right type of lender for your property and plan.
Last month, The New York Times reported that tens of thousands of homeowners who have not been paying their mortgages for the past five years may have their foreclosure cases dismissed due to expiring statues of limitations. Depending on the state of jurisdiction, the statues range from five to seven years and the borrowers – mainly in Florida, New Jersey and New York – are not complaining about the possibility of getting their foreclosure cases dismissed and their mortgages wiped clean.
Portlanders are attracted to the city's many waterfront parks, public squares, civic centers, excellent public transportation system and – of course – the fabulous coffee. The Central City 2035 plan – Portland's new, transformative development program – looks down the road and also envisions a pedestrian/bike/transit-only bridge that will connect every district of the central city.
Pathfinder has been investing in Portland since 2009 and we continue to be attracted to the city's progressive approach to growth and development, growing economy, population and employment and educated workforce. This spring, we acquired Red Tail Canyon Townhomes, a 100-unit townhome development built in 2001, our fourth investment in Portland.


As we wound our way through the Cotswolds, I racked my brains as to why I hadn't heard of the Old Swan & Minster Mill before now. As an Oxfordshire resident some 15 miles to the north-east of the unspoilt and thatched village of Minster Lovell, I am, no doubt, one of many who has solely succumbed to the delights on offer from a certain establishment in Great Tew – slap on the wrist.
Located on the banks of the River Windrush, the Old Swan & Minster Mill is nestled in 65 acres of idyllic grounds. Understated and unassuming, the property encompasses sympathetically restored rural buildings including The Swan (a quintessential 600-year-old English inn with 15 charming guest rooms) and the adjoining 15th century Minster Mill which boasts 37 rooms in a more contemporary Scandinavian style.
We were delighted with our airy, light-filled room, which over-looked the croquet lawn, and quickly raised a glass of complimentary sloe gin as we donned our fluffy robes and slippers and explored the stylish, modern bathroom which boasted a lighting system that could rival a Prince concert plus lovely L'Occitane toiletries.
Later that evening, when we returned to sink into bed, we found creamy chocolate truffles and a bottle of L'Occitane lavender mist on our pillows – a lovely touch to ensure a good night's rest.
After a stroll around the grounds pull up a pew in front of the roaring open fire in The Old Swan and get ready to indulge in proper pub grub using fresh seasonal ingredients.
My (pescatarian) companion was thrilled to discover the menu was as exciting for carnivores and veggies alike and we were both impressed with the extensive wine list. After much gluttonous deliberation we finally settled on Coln Valley smoked salmon and melba toast followed by delicious sirloin steak with triple cooked chips and mushroom sauce (me); and poached pear with blue cheese set cream, confit walnut and burnt apple puree, followed by beer-battered market fish served with crushed peas, tartare sauce, lemon and triple cooked chips (her) washed down with a delicious bottle of Argentinian Malbec.
And just when we thought we couldn't squeeze in any more, the delightful staff recommended the cheeseboard, which disappeared as quickly as it was set on the table.
The Garden Spa is a tranquil haven in the heart of the beautiful grounds – and certainly not to be missed. We indulged in a heavenly ESPA mini facial followed by a back, neck and shoulder massage. The spa also boasts an indoor heated plunge pool, a poolside rock sauna, an aroma steam room, ice fountain and our personal favourite – tropical rainforest showers which, on the push of a button, pimped the shower to include the sound of falling rain and tropical birdsong.
If you exhaust the tennis, badminton and croquet (to name just three of the outdoor pursuits on offer at the Old Swan & Minster Mill), just 10 minutes walk away are the ruins of Minster Lovell Hall and Dovecote which are free to wander around.
Further afield, visit the expansive Cotswold Water Park where you'll find endless bridle paths to amble along plus a designated swimming area for your pooch (did I mention the Old Swan & Minster Mill offer dog-friendly rooms?).
Beautiful Blenheim Palace is also a short drive away, and well worth a visit if you haven't explored its English Baroque style architecture. Blenheim is open all year round with the exception of Christmas Day.
The complimentary decanter of sloe gin that welcomes guests to their rooms.
Parker, the hotel's resident cat who is normally found greeting guests as they arrive in the car park. Be warned – he is a touch on the tubby side and not to be fed.
The impressive commitment to green energy: much of the Old Swan is run on hydro power, particularly since the recent installation of an Archimedes Screw, which harnesses the power of the river.
Giant chess in the grounds.
The service. We found all the staff, from the front desk to the gardeners, charming and helpful.
The full English breakfast in the morning – faultless.
Double rooms at the Old Swan and Minster Mill start from £115.00 per night on a bed and breakfast basis.
For guests looking to restore their body and mind, The Garden Spa Great Escape package offers a luxurious 60 minute treatment of guest's choice and access to the pool, poolside rock sauna, aroma steam room and ice fountain. Guests are then invited to finish their stay with a delicious three-course dinner in the Old Swan restaurant before curling up in a comfortable bed for a relaxing night's sleep, followed by a full English breakfast the next day. Available Monday – Thursday this package costs from £310 per room, per night.
In the centre of Stratford-upon-Avon lies a beautiful old townhouse that's been converted into a boutique hotel bursting with character.

Drilling — H. W. Schwope & Sons, Inc.
The first step in drilling a water well is getting an estimate. It's imperative that you provide an accurate well location or elevation so that the well company can provide you with an accurate depth; as all well costs are dependent on the depth. Second, a site visit is strongly recommended so all details can be accounted for prior to the start of the job. This also gives us a chance to ensure you meet all the rules for the Cow Creek Groundwater Conservation District, or your local regulating body.
Well permits are required in most counties. Well permits can cost upwards to $1000 depending on the governing body. Deeds and plats are usually required for a new well, along with a development permit in Kendall County.
Having a good idea of your house size, irrigation, livestock, pool, and family demands helps us determine what size system you will need. As soon as we have a physical address, we can compare your location to offset wells in our database to see how deep the aquifer is, and relate it to your location. This can also give us an idea of how well the aquifer in your area produces.
Once we have been hired for the work and done a site visit, our rig, water truck, and drill pipe trailer (if deeper than ~300') will be moved to location. Drilling usually only takes a few days. In the event we drill into a cave or upper/shallow undesirable water, we must cement off these stratas. We like the cement to set up for 18-24 hours before drilling through it.
Once we have drilled to total depth, we will clean out the hole with an air/water mixture that bring all of the cuttings to surface. We will also do an initial Gallons Per Minute (GPM) test to get an idea of what the well is producing.
After cleaning the hole, we will trip out, and begin settings casing. We have started to use a process on 80%+ of our wells, that involves setting a screened casing from bottom to the top of the water-bearing strata. In lieu of cement for this section, we pour gravel between the casing and the wellbore. Cement is them pumped from the top of the gravel to surface. This process protects against potential wellbore collapse during the life of the well. The other option is to set casing and cement from above the water-bearing strata to surface. Cementing the well must be done in sections to prevent too much weight and stress on the casing, causing it to potentially collapse.
Once the well is cemented, we can schedule our completion crews to finish the well system. If the customer is installing a storage tank, we will schedule that before the final pump installation and hookup. Pump installation and hookup usually takes less than a day. We can also do a temporary hookup so that you get water sooner for contractors to use during the building process. Once the final structures are built, we can move the well system inside them.
Once the system is installed and operating, we are glad to make a site visit with the property owners to do a final walk-through and explain how the system operates.

From this website:
The biggest wildflower collection on earth calls Western Australia home. More than 12,000 species of flora burst into brilliant bloom across the state each season, delivering a botanical display like no other. It's a diverse and unique show, with 60 percent of the flowering species found nowhere else on the planet. In inner-city parks, amid forest and bushlands, and across coastal and outback plains, carpets of radiant wildflowers are a feast for the senses.
Wildflower season typically has a six-month window, starting in the Pilbara in June and moving across the atmospheric towns of the Goldfields and along the Coral Coast. By September, Perth's urban parks – including floral haven Kings Park, home to more than 3,000 wildflower species – and the rolling hills of the Swan Valley are bursting with colour. The season comes to a vivid close in October in the biodiversity hotspot of the Margaret River Region, where wildflowers mingle with the world-class vines that makes this location so special.
Western Australia's botanical gardens, national parks, coastal plains and towering forests provide the backdrop for even more wildflower hotspots. Spot lemon-yellow donkey orchids, or the rare Queen of Sheba orchid, fiery-red grevilleas, hot-pink hakeas, golden wattle and more. Seasonal walks and guided tours are an ideal way to identify and admire the startling beauty of the blooms.
The bus driver knew his stuff. He had done this a few times before. He even knew some of the technical names for some of the wildflowers. He dropped us off this bush area and we saw another area as well. These are some of the wildflowers we saw:

Rural Idyll
Ilona Landgraf January 28, 2017
Given the uncomfortable winter cold in Munich and the even more uncomfortable general political climate, being carried off by "La Fille mal gardée", a rural late-summer idyll, in the National Theater was a welcome time-out. Frederick Ashton's work, revived by the Bavarian State Ballet this week, brought us a harvest of good feelings.
The ballet, which premiered with the Royal Ballet London in 1960, is set in a time in which crops were harvested manually and women turned their spinning wheels at home. The tranquil, peaceful farming life "La Fille" depicts and its well-functioning village society with a sweet romance blossoming in secret, remind one of a time gone by. Who cares whether they really existed or are merely whitewashed memories? Everyday life was much slower back then, the sense of community was deeper, the connection to nature stronger. Comparing it to what counts in today's society, one might become filled with melancholy.
Set designs and costumes by Osbert Lancaster are unchanged, the same as they were more than fifty years ago. The first act's rustic farmyard and the second act's parlor seem to pop out of a picture-book for children. We are presented with a charming cardboard world. Charming also is Ashton's way of storytelling. His wit, humor and warmth, together with the light touch of his choreographic handwriting, draw everyone into the merry country idyll. He makes every figure win the audience's heart including the widow Simone, a prosperous and (as will be famously seen) well-heeled farmer with ambitious plans for the marriage of her only daughter Lise to the village simpleton Alain, who is the son of a wealthy owner of a vineyard and Simone's hoped for future son-in-law. Alain constantly makes a fool of himself, nevertheless he is accepted by the village folk and loved by his father. Simone keeps a watchful eye on Lise, or so she thinks, but the jaunty young woman has other plans. Her true but secret lover is the young, handsome farmer Colas.
At the premiere Maria Shirinkina and Vladimir Shklyarov had their debut as the enamored couple. Bantering and flirting, ensnaring each other with pink ribbons, they made one smile. I especially liked Shirinkina's sweet naturalness when pantomiming Lise's idea of becoming a wife and a mother, her sulkiness when kept under Simone's guard and her clever feints to escape her. Shirinkina looked confident in pas de deux, when, for example, pretending to dance to Simone's tune or when flying high in Colas's arms in the final duet, but she scarcely developed her solos. They need to be more expressive and fill the space on stage. Shklyarov, by comparison, visibly relished being the center of attention. His Colas's was the smart golden boy among the young men, dashingly so when jumping, attentive and cheerful as suitor and altogether likeable.
Vittorio Alberton, a former dancer of the company under Ivan Liška's reign, returned to the Munich stage in the role of the widow Simone. Cheers to him for his unabashed sense of the comic crowned by a pert Clog Dance. At the beginning of Act II, when closing the commode drawer with a saucy bottom kick, his quirky old crone really moved into gear.
The most touching figure was Gianmarco Romano's Alain who vacillated with alacrity between the tragic and the comic. His silliness made one's eyes roll, but his grief about not having a bride to put the weeding ring on pulled at my heartstrings. One wished him well, though it was clear, he would never find a match. His father (Peter Jolesch) endured his son's whims calmly. Proper food and drinks and profitable business dealings seemed the foundation of his unwavering good-nature, but, on the other hand, he was compassionate about his son's sorrows.
Zoltan Mano Beke was the village's smart notary. As the fleet-footed flute player, Luca Giaccio led the village youth's dances. The corps performed energetically, but could risk daring. That some ribbons slipped down during the Maypole dance was not a bother. But I wish the rooster character had puffed himself up more. He is, after all, the cock of the walk! The real pony, which at the ballet's last revival in 2012 had lost its nerves during the dress rehearsal and had caused the staging team some desperate moments, was replaced by a more cooperative Shetland, which behaved well.
The Bavarian State Orchestra under the baton of Myron Romanul played Ferdinand Hérold's potpourri score decently, but some fine-tuning of the pacing would be beneficial. Also Alain shouldn't have to walk upstairs to Lise's chamber without proper musical accompaniment.
"La Fille mal gardée" runs until February 07, 2017. A single performance is scheduled for April 11, 2017.

Modules are used the form the structure and content of the UCP, MCP and ACP. Individual modules can be optionally disabled and it is possible to reorganize them into a different structure. Modules for the User Control Panel and the Moderator Control panel have a Category » Module two-level structure, while the Administration modules have three levels: Category (tabs at the top) » Category (headers on the left-hand side) » Module (individual sections).
Very often, MODs that have controllable features add modules to the ACP to allow comfortable editing of various settings.
To create a module category, use the text field next to the Create new module button. Enter the category title, click the button and on the next page ensure that the Module type is Category, the module is enabled and that the Module parent is set correctly. After you create a category, you can browse to it through the list of modules and add a specific module that is saved in a file. Modules are saved in the appropriate directory (acp/, mcp/ or /ucp) contained in the includes/ directory.
By disabling the Module Management module, it is possible to cut yourself off from the ACP and other control panels. Be careful when you are editing modules.
Module language name: This should be set to the language constant that holds the module name in the different languages, which are used on the board. You can also specify a normal title here, if you do not have the module title translated.
Module type: You can add a category or a module. As stated above, categories hold another level of categories or modules, they are used to organize the control panels.
Parent: This setting defines under which category the module or category will be displayed.
Module enabled: If a module is disabled, it will not be accessible at all, you will have to enable it to use it.
Module displayed: If the module is enabled, but not displayed, you will be able to access it with a direct URL but it will not show in the menus. This setting is shown only if the Module type is set to Module.
Choose module: Individual module files contain the various control panels. Similar modules are grouped into one file and are called by specifying a mode. Here you select the file in which the specific module you want is located. This setting is shown only if the Module type is set to Module.
Choose module mode: Here you set the what mode should be used in the module file selected above. The final contents of the module are based on this setting. This setting is shown only if the Module type is set to Module.

You'll have to climb, explore, and solve several puzzles in order to reach the Cupola. Good luck adventurer, it's your time to prove your valour!


After a slow start, the 2015 harvest is now in full gear at Jordan. We picked our first Russian River Valley Chardonnay grapes on August 24–symbolic due to it also being the day we celebrated Rob Davis's 40th harvest as Jordan winemaker. Twenty-four hours later, he was calling off scheduled "picks" due to a cool front that moved in, leaving thick fog lingering into the late mornings and stalling grapes' sugar levels. There were simply not enough sunshine hours for the grapevines to continue their photosynthesis, increase sugars and fully ripen. Luckily, very warm weather returned by the weekend, and our winemaking team and the picking crews shifted quickly into overdrive on Monday.
As discussed in previous blog posts, Jordan handpicks our Chardonnay grapes during the coldest hours–after midnight and before sunrise–to preserve the purity of aromas, flavors and bright acidity. This is the first year that Ranch Manager Brent Young has managed the vineyard work and harvest for our long-term lease of two vineyards east of the Russian River, which Rob has been sourcing grapes from for decades. Just before midnight on August 31, Brent embarked on his first Chardonnay night harvest for Rob. Scenes from that harvest are our Photo Gallery of the Month.
We expect to be finished picking Chardonnay before Labor Day. So far, the quality of the fruit is very good. The size of the vintage, however, is down compared to the last few bountiful harvests. The grape clusters have less berries than in 2012, 2013 and 2014 due to the cool weather during flowering in May, so the sheer weight of the clusters has resulted in the smaller yields. But so far, the juice is tasting really nice.

On the roof top of a craggy mountain, Louna was born. Surrounded by the sound of sheep and thunder, cuddled by the warmth of wood and the fleece of loving animals. She was provided for and loved. She was born into a family of gypsies, wandering souls, never quite settled anywhere, but that was OK with her as she got to enjoy the sea-like hopping of the wooden carriage she travelled in.
The light will peek through the crevices, and Louna called them fairy lights. She loved to move things around so that the sun shone directly on them and amplified the sparkles. Then she would giggle, like only she knows how to giggle. Her Grandmother's cats always love to travel on her lap, because being the happy girl that she is, her giggles made them happy. The up and down movement of her belly, full of happiness and laughter, would make those cats expand with contentment, and the purring was non-stop. Happy life.
Louna travelled mostly alone with her Grandmother, who earned her living by making potions, curing ailments and mending. Fortune telling was not to be meddled with, and she always instructed Louna to be very respectful of the Magic in the world that surrounds us. Louna knew about Magic first hand, witnessing many wonderful things on her travels, animals conferencing their troubles with her, plants telling her their secrets, she felt more at ease in the company of the animals and plants than with people...always with their hurried voices and troubled looks! people were a bit of a mystery to Louna. She didn't like to play with other kids so much, she never really learned how, but she loved to gather children around her and tell them stories. Not made up stories, like the ones sometimes you read in books, real stories! Stories about moon faeries who love to make things grow, about dormice knights and ants' escapades. She had quite a repertoire, her favourite ones were always the ones about the cats. She loved one marmalade cat, that sadly passed away quite a while ago, but she still told many stories about him, and the kids would squeal with delight when hearing how adventurous and smart he was.
Louna's favourite colours are pink and brown. Luckily for her, Grandmother knows quite well how to sew for her whatever she wants. She is also very good with the "knitting sticks", and made Louna this beautiful dress with the softest wool she could find. Louna wears it almost every day, and is very careful not to play in the brambles or go near thistles so she doesn't ruin it. Her gypsy skirt was made with a very old piece of linen fabric Grandmother got as payment for her services at a very old farm; the farmer's wife had been very ill and mostly needed a bed nurse, so Grandmother helped the woman get better and she in returned paid her with this fabric, which she had gained from her own mother. Louna was very happy to be the end recipient of so much generosity!.
Louna loves to help making potions, but mostly gathering the materials that her Grandmother needs: blackberries, nettles, burdock, catnip, wild ginger, plantain, yarrow, arctic willow, juniper...but rose hips were her most favourite. She collected the flowers in the summer, and dyed almost everything she could lay her hands on, and then gave the rest to Grandmother for her potions.
Although Louna grew up with her gypsy Grandmother, they did at times lived for longer periods of time in certain villages. One of these times Louna had the brilliant idea of asking her Grandmother to put her in school. She wanted to see what the fuss was all about, and wether she would like it or not. Grandmother got very excited at the chance to make Louna "proper school clothes", because Louna never wanted to wear anything but her "giving skirt" and her knitted dress. So tomorrow we will tell you all about Louna's adventure in school, and show you the clothes Grandmother made for her.
PS. For those asking how Louna will be sold: I haven't decided yet! She will go here as a comment-style sale, or she will be sold via auction. When I make up my mind, I will let everybody know. Thank you so much for your patience.
Jul 27 Little Ivy, the soul of a dreamer.
Mar 23 Off to school.
Mar 24 Miss Louna Tumbleweed...ready to fly.

Pope makes sensitive trip to Cyprus

By VICTOR L. SIMPSON, Associated Press Writer
VATICAN CITY —

Pope Benedict XVI departs Friday on a sensitive three-day trip to Cyprus, a visit likely to be colored by shock over the killing in Turkey of a bishop who had been scheduled to meet with the pontiff.
Cyprus, an island divided between ethnic Turks and Greeks, is viewed by the Vatican as a bridge between Europe and the Middle East. The pope's visit is expected to be a key test of whether the pope has found his diplomatic feet after his linking of Islam to violence during a speech in Germany led to outrage in the Muslim world - and nearly forced the cancellation of a trip to Turkey in 2006.
His meeting with church officials from across the region could, however, be overshadowed by the death of Bishop Luigi Padovese, the church apostolic vicar in Anatolia, who was killed the day before he was to fly to Cyprus. Officials have identified the killer as the bishop's driver and say it was not politically motivated.
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said Padovese's killing shows the "difficult conditions" the Catholic community faces in the Middle East.
The pope is meeting in Cyprus with prelates from the region to set an agenda for an October meeting in Rome to build a strategy to stem an exodus of Catholics from the Holy Land, Iraq and elsewhere because of violence and economic hardship. The Middle East includes ancient Christian communities.
The October meeting shows "how the universal church is in solidarity with this community," Lombardi said.
Benedict also faces issues on the division in Cyprus, splits in the Orthodox Christian community and concerns over damaged Christian and Muslim houses of worship. Cyprus was ethnically split in 1974 when Turkey invaded after a coup by supporters of union with Greece. Turkish Cypriots declared an independent republic in the north in 1983, but only Turkey recognizes it and maintains 35,000 troops there.
The trip also comes days after the island's leaders - Greek Cypriot President Dimitris Christofias and the newly elected president of the breakaway Turkish Cypriots, Dervis Eroglu - resumed peace talks after a two-month pause.
Police say hundreds of police will be on duty to provide security, including riot police in the event of any trouble - which authorities consider "remote."
There are no plans for Benedict or any other Vatican officials to visit northern Cyprus, Lombardi said. But he did not rule out a meeting with Muslim representatives.
The Cypriot ambassador to the Holy See, George F. Poulides, said Benedict will be staying at the Vatican Nunciature, located right on the so-called Green Line in Nicosia - the U.N.-patrolled buffer zone between bullet-pocked buildings and army sentry posts separating the ethnically divided communities.
A government official in Ankara said Turkey would be watching the visit closely and may comment if there is indication of political support for the Greek Cypriots or any allusion to the alleged destruction of churches in the north.
During a 2006 Vatican audience, the late Cypriot President Tassos Papadopoulos gave the pope an album of photographs of destroyed churches in the north and of others converted to restaurants, shops or other secular uses.
The Turkish north has published a book showing the destruction of mosques, cemeteries and other signs of Turkish culture in the south.
There are also problems between Cypriot Catholics and Orthodox Christians, who are dominant in the south. Some hardline Orthodox clerics, who view the pope as a heretic, say Benedict should stay in Rome to avoid provoking the island's 800,000 Orthodox.
Benedict on Sunday said he was "making an apostolic journey to Cyprus, to meet and pray with the Catholic and Orthodox faithful there."
Doctrinal, theological and political differences caused the Orthodox and Catholic churches to formally split in the 11th century. Officials from both churches have been engaged in talks in recent years to heal "The Great Schism," but opposition to reconciliation still lingers.
Archbishop Chrysostomos II said such critics "can stay at home" if they don't like the papal visit, which most church leaders have welcomed.
Early on Friday's schedule was an ecumenical prayer service. He will also meet with the president and diplomatic corps as well as the island's small Maronite and Roman Catholic communities.
Associated Press writer Menalaos Hadjicostis contributed from Cyprus.

Netflix Confirms 'Extraction 2' Release Date With New Image
Shubhendu Vatsa, 23 Jan 2023 | News
Whether you are a binge-watcher or a casual fanatic, Netflix has a full house of exclusives stacked for 2023 to keep you entertained at all times. Perhaps the most anticipated of them all is Chris Hemsworth's Extraction 2, the much-awaited sequel to the 2020's action thriller, which now has a set-in-stone release date of June 16. The streaming giant announced the news via its in-house Tudum blog, charting all the movies slated to hit the service this year.

After a long hiatus, Hemsworth's Tyler Rake and crew will soon be back for another round of pulse-pounding action with Extraction 2. Both the movies draw inspiration from Ande Parks' 2014 graphic novel 'Ciudad,' which included a story from Parks and Joe & Anthony Russo, with illustrations by Fernando León González.
Netflix's Extraction tells the story of Tyler Rake, an ex-Australian Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) operator turned black-market mercenary tasked with a contract to bring the kidnapped son of an Indian drug lord back to safety. However, the rescue mission turns out to be a pretty tough nut for Tyler. The movie ends with a badly wounded Tyler falling into a river after returning the kid safe and sound.
But as we all know now, the story doesn't end here for our badass mercenary. Extraction 2 will pick up from where we last saw Hemsworth's Tyler Rake, who appears all geared up for another deadly mission. The official description for the upcoming sequel reads: "After barely surviving the events of the first movie, Rake is back as the Australian black ops mercenary, tasked with another deadly mission: rescuing the battered family of a ruthless Georgian gangster from the prison where they are being held."
Besides the release date, Netflix even shared a brand-new still from Extraction 2, which reveals Hemsworth and his co-star Tinatin Dalakishvili in the middle of a prison firefight. While talking about the film's action and fights, the 39-year-old Aussie actor revealed that Extraction's sequel has, "the most detailed and exhausting fight training" he's "ever been a part of."
That says a lot considering the actor has done quite a lot of action for Marvel movies portraying the God of Thunder. But Hemsworth humbly and respectfully added that both production styles come with their fair share of advantages.
"There's something so satisfying about that," Hemsworth added. "Not to take anything away from the special-effects-filled sort of Marvel film, but you have a lot of help in post-production there. Obviously, I can't fly, so they help through me that. Whereas in this film, the action is grounded in reality, and so much of it is on camera. So, it's a different energy, and the preparation is a lot more extensive."
Extraction was packed with great action sequences, fistfights and car chases that not only felt real but also thought out and well executed. And we expect the same with the upcoming follow-up. Sam Hargrave, who made his directorial debut with Extraction is back on director duty. Joe Russo has returned to write the script for the upcoming sequel. Hemsworth and the Russo brothers will be producing the whole affair via their AGBO production company.
Alongside the Russo brothers and Hemsworth, Hargrave, Mike Larocca, Angela Otstot, Patrick Newall, Eric Gitter, as well as Peter Schwerin will be producing the sequel. Benjamin Grayson, Steve Scavelli, Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, and Jake Aust will serve as the executive producers of Extraction 2. On the cast side of things, Hemsworth will be joined by Tinatin Dalakishvili as his co-star, while Golshifteh Farahani will be reprising her role as Nik Khan from the first movie.

Grave Digger are a German heavy metal/power metal band formed in 1980. They were part of the German heavy/speed/power metal scene to emerge in the early to mid 1980s.

After various appearances at small festivals, the band recorded two songs for the compilation album Rock from Hell in 1983. A year later, Grave Digger, now comprising Chris Boltendahl (vocals), Peter Masson (guitar), Willi Lackmann (bass) and Albert Eckardt (drums), released their debut album Heavy Metal Breakdown.
In 1985, with Lackmann having left the band, they recorded and released their second album Witch Hunter. Only after the album was completed, a replacement on bass was found in the form of C.F. Brank. Further festival appearances followed, a tour with Helloween as special guest and, finally, their third album War Games in January 1986. To promote this album, a triple headline tour with Celtic Frost and Helloween followed. Thereafter, Peter Masson gave way to Uwe Lulis; in 1987 the band's name was changed to Digger, the name under which they released the album Stronger Than Ever. This album hardly had anything in common with the earlier music of Grave Digger. It was more an attempt to reach the masses with mainstream rock like that of Bon Jovi or Van Halen. The album flopped, as it was not accepted by fans or the masses. As a result, Chris Boltendahl declared, at the end of 1987, the breakup of the band.
However, the band partially reformed in 1991. Christ Boltendahl and Uwe Lulis, along with two valuable newcomers, Tomi Göttlich and Jörg Michael, who had been the drummers for Rage and Running Wild, released a comeback record, The Reaper. This album returned to the true roots of Grave Digger. In the same year, the album Best of the Eighties was released; it represented a quasi Best-of-Album of their earlier songs.
The album Symphony of Death followed in 1994. In the interim, Grave Digger, now with a new drummer, Frank Ullrich, toured Germany, playing as the warm-up act for Manowar. In 1995 the album Heart of Darkness appeared; it was a very dark album with many influences from the early works of Annihilator[citation needed].
In 1996, Stefan Arnold became the band's new drummer. This year also marked the release of the concept album Tunes of War, which dealt with the early history of Scotland. This album was the first part of the Middle Ages Trilogy, completed in 1999. The second album, Knights of the Cross, with Jens Becker as bass guitarist, was completed in 1997 and was about the rise and fall of the Knights Templar. The final part of the trilogy, finished in 1999, Excalibur explored the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Shortly after this followed a world tour with the keyboardist Hans-Peter Katzenburg, who later became a permanent bandmember.
Anniversary years
In 2000, Grave Digger celebrated their 20th anniversary; to mark the occasion they performed at a sell-out concert at the Zeche in Bochum. Many of the band's most popular songs were played alongside other less well-known ones. There were also a number of different supporting acts appearing with Grave Digger. This concert also marked a defining chapter in the band's history, as Uwe Lulis left a short while before the concert because of personal and business reasons. Lulis finally called his new band Rebellion.
A replacement, in the form of the ex-Rage guitarist, Manni Schmidt, was found. Along with him and the new record label Nuclear Blast, the album The Grave Digger appeared in 2001. The works of Edgar Allan Poe served as an inspiration for the lyrics of the new album. Their first live album, Tunes of Wacken, appeared in 2002. This was coupled with the release of their first DVD, Wacken Open Air. About a year later, a further concept album, Rheingold, appeared, which centered on the opera Der Ring des Nibelungen by Richard Wagner.
After the successful Rheingold-Tour, the band recorded another album, The Last Supper, with Symphorce and Wizard; however, unlike previous albums, The Last Supper was not a concept album, despite several songs about the last days of Jesus. A few journalists described the album as the best since Tunes of War or Heavy Metal Breakdown[citation needed]. It was released on January 17, 2005. Less than a month later, the band began a tour with Stormhammer and Astral Doors in Andernach, the birthplace of Manni Schmidt.
October 2005 saw the release of a live DVD recording of the Last Supper Tour and the São Paulo concert. The title, 25 to Live, commemorated the band's 25th anniversary.
Grave Digger released their follow-up to The Last Supper, Liberty or Death on January 12, 2007. A Double-Headline Tour together with Therion followed, beginning January 17, 2007 in Essen.
In mid August, 2008, the band entered Principal studios with additional guitarist Thilo Hermann to record their 13th studio album entitled Ballads of a Hangman. It was their first album with twin guitars.
In February 2009 the band parted ways with Thilo Hermann. In October 2009 Manni Schmidt left the band due to ongoing disagreements with Boltendahl. An old friend of the band, guitarist Axel Ritt (Domain) was chosen as a temporary replacement for Schmidt to play out the remaining tour dates. On January 12, 2010, it was officially announced that Axel Ritt is now an official full time member of Grave Digger.
Since mid-May to mid-July 2010, the band finished recording their new album The Clans Will Rise Again which is set for release in Europe on October 1, 2010 via Napalm Records with a North American release following soon after. The album is a loose sequel of the Tunes of War album, but this time not a concept album about the Scottish history, rather a work about Scotland, its mysticism and its people. On September 11, 2010, Grave Digger released a video for Highland Farewell, the fourth track appearing on The Clans Will Rise Again.[1]

RPL554 is a novel dual phosphodiesterase (PDE) 3 and 4 isoenzymes inhibitor that has been demonstrated to have both potent, long-acting bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory activity in preclinical models.
To evaluate the safety, bronchodilator and bronchoprotective effects of single ascending doses of RPL554 in healthy subjects and asthmatics.
The safety of RPL554 0.003 and 0.009 mg/kg was evaluated in 18 healthy males (age 18-41 years; weight 58-90 kg; height 168-196 cm; BMI 18-29 kg/m2) in a randomised, double-blind study. For each dose group, 6 subjects inhaled RPL554 and 3 placebo. Study medication was administered by a calibrated electronic nebuliser and oro-nasal mask. Subsequently, RPL554 0.009 and 0.018 mg/kg were evaluated in 6 asthmatic males (22-29 years; 58-98 kg; 174-198 cm; BMI 19-27 kg/m2, FEV1 75-118% pred.) using an open, adaptive design to select an effective dose. This dose (0.018 mg/kg) was further evaluated in a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study in 10 allergic asthmatics (20-50 years; 67-112 kg; 171-191 cm; BMI 21-33 kg/m2, FEV1 82-112% pred.; baseline PC20(methacholine=MCh) 0.07-1.49 mg/ml; not on controller medication) to assess its bronchodilator effects and bronchoprotective activity against methacholine (MCh) challenge.
Inhaled RPL554 0.003 to 0.018 mg/kg was well-tolerated in all subjects studied. In the asthmatics, RPL554 0.018 mg/kg produced a rapidly progressive, sustained bronchodilation with a mean maximal increase in FEV1 of 520 ml (95% CI: 320-720 ml; p=0.0061), or 15% increase from baseline. Furthermore, a single dose of RPL554 increased PC20 (MCh) by a mean of 1.46 doubling doses (95% CI: 0.63 – 2.28; p=0.004) versus placebo. Adverse events were mild, transient and generally of equal frequency in RPL554 and placebo treated groups. No significant changes in heart rate or systemic blood pressure were noted with RPL554 when compared to placebo.
RPL554 was well-tolerated in the healthy subjects and asthmatics studied. In patients with mild asthma, a rapid, potent and long-lasting bronchodilator response was produced. The maximum bronchodilator effect appeared at least comparable to published values of inhaled salbutamol. RPL554 has the potential to become a first-in-class bronchodilator for airways obstruction.


TOTEM is completely honored that our next show will be an acoustic performance at Inclusion Records in our hometown of Norwell, Massachusetts. This very special show is to support the screening of our great friend Alex Eaves' important documentary "REUSE! Because You Can't Recycle The Planet". Tickets are very limited, so act quickly.


The 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV will be priced at less than $32,500 and be eligible for a $7,500 federal tax credit and added incentives in several states. Now that GM leads electric car sales in the United States with the plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt, it will go after urban dwellers who want a less expensive city EV. This all-electric 5-door, 4-seat, city car is less than the Nissan LEAF and more than the Mitsubishi i.
With the Chevrolet Volt, Chevrolet accounts for more than 50 percent of all plug-in electric vehicle sales in the United States and Spark EV builds on Chevrolet's proven electric motor and battery development programs. When it goes on sale summer 2013, the Spark EV is expected to have among the best EV battery range in its segment and be the first electric vehicle to offer SAE Combo DC Fast Charging capability, enabling the Spark EV to reach 80-percent battery charge in just 20 minutes.
Public charge station providers, such as NRG, Blink, and AeroVironment all ready offer CHAdeMO DC Fast Charging for the LEAF and Mitsubishi i. This Chevrolet announcement will encourage them to add the SAE Combo DC Fast Charging capability to existing and new stations.
Inside the Spark EV are two reconfigurable, high-resolution, seven-inch color LCD screens, including a confidence gauge that shows the expected driving range based on driving habits and other conditions.
Spark EV also will keep urban drivers musically connected with Chevrolet's exclusive MyLink radio that comes standard and safely brings smartphone-based infotainment – including apps for BringGo full-function navigation, TuneIn global internet radio, Pandora and Stitcher – into the vehicle.
Drivers with Apple iPhone 4S and newer can integrated Siri with MyLink to use the car's voice system to integrate with Siri for navigation and entertainment. For Apple customers who are unhappy with Apple's latest map/navigation app, Apple is planning an upgrade and Google is planning to makes its Maps app downloadable to iPhones.
The drive unit and motor will be assembled of U.S. and globally sourced parts at GM's White Marsh, Maryland. This is the first time a U.S. automaker has built both a complete electric motor and drive unit for a modern electric vehicle in the United States.
I have been able to drive my Nissan LEAF beyond its normal 60 to 100 mile range, because I have used DC Fast Charge stations in my area. My LEAF has 2 separate chargers, one for Level 1 and 2, and a second for DC Fast Charge.
The Spark EV will be the first electric car to offer a Combo charger that can do all of that with a single charge port, saving money and weight. Spark EV is the first all-electric vehicle in North America to offer optional SAE Combo DC Fast Charge capability, which can charge the battery to 80 percent of capacity in about 20 minutes. A common on-board charging receptacle accommodates all three charging platforms – DC Fast Charge, AC 240V and AC 120V.
Using a dedicated 240V outlet, Spark EV recharges in less than seven hours with a Level 2 charger. Owners can coordinate charging according to departure time or during off-peak electricity rates. They also can manage and monitor the vehicle remotely via computer at OnStar.com, or with a special Chevrolet Mobile App powered by OnStar Remote Link. The Spark EV comes with three years of standard OnStar service.
Customers who do a far amount of long-distance highway driving may prefer the larger Chevrolet Volt with 35-miles of electric range and about 380 miles of total range. They will pay about $7,000 more than the Spark EV. People with two-cars will rarely be concerned about range, even is one is all-electric like the Spark EV which is likely to shine in city environments. They'll save a small fortune by never needing gas, finding street parking too small for big cars, and saving on maintenance. Plus, the Chevrolet Spark EV will be fun to drive.


While Thor is visiting Sif while she recuperates, he is visited by Hela, who believes that she has a claim to Thor after his fight with the Wrecker. Thor's old frenemy, Harokin pops in to speak on Hela's behalf, asking him to come lead the army of the undead in Valhalla. Thor is tempted, but declines, stating "The son of Odin fights for purpose– never pleasure!" This is a much bigger lie than anything Loki has ever said in this book. Having made her pitch, Hela departs.
Meanwhile, Ulik has discovered the long-lost Odin-Cave, also known as the Cave of Ages. This legendary site is filled with Enchanti-Stones, the seeds of Odin's peerless power. It is also the prison of Mangog,the last member of an alien race so powerful that they once nearly destroyed Asgard. It says a lot about Ulik that rather than collect the stones, he frees the alien.
The Mangog, once freed has no interest in an alliance with Ulik and no notion of gratitude for his freedom. The Mangog is the enemy of all who live, with the sole goal of destroying Odin. Ulik escapes from the Mangog as soon as he is able.
Thor, unaware of the threat to Asgard is wandering around New York looking for Loki. He stops a team of thugs calling themselves Muggers Incorporated and exchanges strong words with a pack of hippies. The friendly counterculture youth take Thor's long hair as a sign of kinship, a notion Thor rejects hard.
"'Tis not by dropping out– but by plunging in– into the maelstrom of life itself– that thou shalt find wisdom! There be causes to espouse!! There be battles to be won! There be glory and grandeur all about thee– if thou wilt but see! Aye, there be time enow for thee to disavow thy heritage– yea, thou mayest drop out fore'er once Hela herself hath come for thee! But, so long as life endures– thou must live it to the full! Else, thou be unworthy of the title– man!" Thor does not like hippies.
Loki, forbidden from fighting his brother, returns to Asgard to see what trouble he can cause, only to discover that there is already trouble aplenty. When Ulik freed the Mangog, he set off the Eternity Alarm, and so the forces of Asgard are preparing for the conflict that is surely at hand. Toag, Elder of the Supreme Council fills Loki in on all of this and of one other detail: Odin now rests in his Odinsleep (otherwise known as the Sleep of Life, last seen in issue #118). With Odin unavailable and Thor busy pestering hippies, Loki takes the throne!

The cult movie "The Witches in Eastwick" becomes musical on Circus
"The Witches of Eastwick" is the novel by John Updike, which was filmed in the 80s and became one of the decade's greatest cult films of the same name. The story was rebuilt into musical and was first put on London's West End. We can now proudly present the "Witches in Eastwick" on Circus this fall which is something very unique in its kind, never before has this award-winning musical been made in Sweden. The premiere is on September 19th at Circus in Stockholm.
After the success of "The Phantom of the Opera" it is now time for Peter Jöback to play the leading role in the next big international set. The musical "The Witches in Eastwick" is a co-production with one of the world's largest producers – Cameron Mackintosh – who is behind successes such as Cats, Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Hamilton, Miss Saigon and many more.
This humorous and spectacular musical is based on John Updike's cult movie Witches in Eastwick with Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, Cher and Susan Sarandon in the roles. In 2000, the musical version had a world premiere in London at the Ancient Theater Drury Lane. The main roles in the Swedish set have been hand-picked and auditions have been made by the English and Swedish teams in consultation with doyen Cameron Mackintosh. We are now presenting an ensemble with some of Sweden's strongest stage personalities in the autumn's magical performance.
Peter Jöback you see in the role of the wealthy and completely irresistible "Daryl Van Horne" – the man who pops up when three girlfriends, bored by their dreary little city life and intoxicated by a little too strong martinis, dispel the time dreaming of the perfect man. The three women, who in different ways are dissatisfied with men but at the same time very unhappy without them, are: the newly divorced music teacher "Jane" (Linda Olsson), the single mother "Alexandra" (Kayo) and the abandoned book lover "Sukie" (Vanna Rosenberg). What the women don't know is that they play with the fire. Is it really a coincidence that "Daryl" appears as a lightning strike in the small quaint town and is he in fact as wonderfully charming and delightful as it seems from the beginning? One by one, the women are seduced by his mysterious way, and suddenly inexplicable forces are brought to life by the women and unsuspected turns take on…
Peter Jöback participated in the world premiere of "Witches of Eastwick" at the West End in London in 2000, then as the young boy Michael. This role is now played by Martin Redhe Nord. Now Peter takes in the role of "Daryl", the musical to Circus in Stockholm and together with the witches Linda, Kayo and Vanna he has brought a bunch of renowned actors; Sussie Eriksson, Jan Mybrand, Hanna Ulvan, Kitty Chan and a large ensemble and orchestra.
In the creative team, we see some of West End's most well-established names such as Rachel Kavanaugh (directed) and Colin Richmond (stage designer and costume design). The translation of the original set is a revised version of Edward af Sillén who also becomes the Swedish director of the musical.
Showdate: Premiere on September 19th.
Tickets: Released March 25th
"Witches in Eastwick" are produced by: 2Entertain, Krall Entertainment, Vicky Nöjesproduktion, Live Nation, Sinclair Entertainment in collaboration with Cameron Mackintosh.

There are possible dangers in beekeeping that can damage you but your family also. Your focus is not only to build an income by selling honey; a great beekeeper should have passion and a keen interest in raising bees.
An apiarist ought to know the right location for the beehives. If you decide to put your beehives at your backyard, you need certainly to make sure beekeeping is allowed in your town. There are several places limited to beekeeping; you have to get permission concerning this.
Beekeepers must understand whether beekeeping supplies are available in the place where the beehives are situated. You may never know when you must visit a local beekeeping shop; it's best that a nearby beekeeping store is accessible.
Protective tools and equipment can also be essential for beekeepers to know. Know the appropriate suit to choose to keep you from any potential risk in beekeeping.
Last but definitely not the least, among the beekeeping lessons you have to know is that: it's essential for the beekeeper to understand the proper way of picking honey.
