Thanks for visiting Free Tours by Foot New York!
Ghost Tours and Haunted Places of NYC
Our New York Ghost tours capture the spiritual side of the Big Apple through stories of lost opportunities, political intrigue, disease and murder. With almost every step one takes through the West Village or on the Brooklyn Bridge, one encounters the ghosts and spirits of New York City's past. Every corner has it's stories, every building has its haunted spirits. We offer two main ghost tours, one in Greenwich Village and the other on the Brooklyn Bridge. Scroll done for information on both tours.
Dates for both ghost tours are listed below, but do check out our full tour schedule for the up to date offerings. We also offer a seasonal tour titled the Dark Side of the High Line.

Where: the tour meets at Northwest entrance to Washington Square Park at the corner of Washington Square North and Washington Square West (map). Look for your guide with an orange flag!
Cost: This tour is free to take, and you get to decide what, if anything, the tour was worth when it's done. A name-your-own-price tour is a tour for anyone's budget.
The ghosts of Greenwich Village are too numerous and interesting to meet in just one evening! Due to popular demand, we are offering a new tour, "Ghosts of the East Village," as a companion tour to one of our biggest crowd-pleasers Ghosts of the West Village.
Our tour begins talking about the Arch at Washington Square Park, the most haunted place in New York City, and wraps at St. Mark's in the Bowery at Second Avenue and 10th Street.
Haunted sites we visit include:
West 3rd St. firehouse, haunted by the firefighter who committed suicide in the 1930s and now home to a famous newscaster.
Poe House, New York University's "re-interpretation" of the house where Poe lived in 1844.
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory at the corner of Green Street and Washington Place. Now known as the Brown Building and part of the NYU campus, this historic building was the site of the infamous 1911 fire that killed 145 workers, most of them young immigrant women whose spirits still haunt the building.
Merchant House Museum, a living museum haunted by the spirits of Gertrude Tredwell and her very dysfunctional family. Gertrude may have been the inspiration for Catherine Sloper in Henry James' "The Heiress."
McSorley's Old Alehouse, which claims to be the oldest operating bar in NYC (circa 1854). Mc Sorley's patrons have included Abraham Lincoln, John Lennon, Teddy Roosevelt and Boss Tweed. One of its favorite customers — magician Harry Houdini, who died on Halloween 1926 — still haunts the bar accompanied by the famous McSorley cats, who were depicted in John Sloan's paintings.
St. Mark's in the Bowery, haunted by the spirit of Peter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch lieutenant governor of New Amsterdam, who has roamed his farmland property since his death in 1672.
When: @7:30pm Fridays (March through mid-November), with extra tours around Halloween. View Our Full Calendar
Ghosts on Broadway
For some performers, the show must go on… even after death! The Ghosts on Broadway Tour, led by a veteran New York City talent agent, will introduce you to these notorious theater legends who appear after the lights go dim. You'll hear about the Broadway impresario who haunts the theater that bears his name. His apparition shows up on opening nights to congratulate the cast or "pinch" the leading ladies' bottom! Jazz age parties are heard almost nightly from his long abandoned apartment over his theater. There's also the beautiful,flirtatious chorus girl who died tragically young (was it murder or suicide?). She appears only in the early morning — and only to men.
Most Broadway tours focus on current shows and performers. Our tour looks at some of the "longest-running" performances on the Great White Way! Come join us!
Among the stories and sites included on this tour:
The Palace, a 1913 vaudeville theater that is rumored to be haunted by over 100 ghosts, including Judy Garland.
The New Amsterdam Theater, once home to the "Ziegfield Follies," where the cast & crew routinely say good-night to the ghost of the bewitching chorus girl.
The Belasco Theater, in which references to the theater's famous ghost are ad-libbed in it's current production.
The Lyceum, the 1903 oldest-operating theater where an acclaimed choreographer & Tony Award winning director recently made his presence known to folks in the theater's latest production.
Learn the curious superstitions by which theater folks live and die!
When: @7:30pm Mondays (March through mid-November). View Our Full Calendar
Where: The tour meets on Shubert Alley between W 44th & W 45th Streets (map).

Watch the Demolition of NYC's Kosciuszko Bridge in Virtual Reality
by Susan Xu
Image from NYGovCuomo
We've been keeping tabs on the progress of the Kosciuszko Bridge for sometime now. Earlier this year, we caught sight of its main span floating down the East River, and in October, we reported on the controlled demolition ("energetic felling") of its remaining spans. If you missed the news back then, here's your chance to watch the demolition from the comfort of your own home: we were recently tipped off to a series of videos documenting the process from start to finish.
The first of two spans of the new Kosciuszko Bridge opened to traffic on April 27 of this year: "…to build the first big, beautiful bridge in New York City since the Verrazano back in the 1960s is a dream come true…," said Larry Gillman, Vice President of Operations and Project Director of Skanska USA Civil.
The first video, seen below, focuses on the general demolition process of the old bridge, which took place on October 1, 2017:
Over 900 explosives were strategically placed around the structure, and used to bring down the bridge's 20 remaining truss spans, which were made from 22 million pounds of steel. In this second video, interviews provide an in-depth look at the felling process in its entirety:
And if that isn't enough, the following VR video really allows viewers to experience the felling from a number of unique vantage points, including beneath the bridge. Grab a headset to watch it all unfold. For the best viewing experience, we recommend accessing the video in the following manner: for desktop viewing, use your cursor to explore the explosive finale. Please visit Skanska USA on Facebook for 360-degree viewing on mobile. For Google Cardboard, please visit Skanska USA's YouTube channel for headset-based viewing via the YouTube mobile app.
The first span of the new Kosciuszko Bridge is currently carrying the traffic load in both directions between Queens and Brooklyn. The second span, which will be dedicated entirely to Brooklyn-bound traffic, is scheduled to be finished by 2020.
Next, check out Aerial Drone Footage of the Old Kosciuszko Bridge as it Comes Down in a Demolition and discover 10 fun facts about the new Kosciuszko Bridge.

virgin broadband analysis please virgin say graph is fine?
Hi basically since december when something upgraded on upstream ( went from 16qam to 64qam) my graph has been like this? It doesnt look good to me, high latency at all times even when we are asleep and nothing being used or turned on? Looking at graph have I a problem? Engineer gave new sh2ac, changed connectors, lowered upstream power levels, all power levels fine, virgin say everything is fine yet they cant explain graph? Any help be good, I dont know if its a network thing as my dad has virgin ,is on same cmts as me and his graph is like mine yet lives 3 miles away?
Can you confirm a hour of the day when you were doing nothing with the connection?
Virgin Media due to the shared nature of the local loop means jitter (which is basically the yellow bit) will be worse than for xDSL or FTTH services.
Hi mrsaffon thanks for replying,At 5am nobody is awake yet in todays graph yellow spike goes to top at 5am this morning,have I a problem? Im sure yellow spikes shouldn't be spiking to the top all the time?
And you have nothing connected to the Internet connection at that point e.g. set-top boxes, phones doing updates etc over Wi-Fi?
The yellow means 1 ping was high in the 60 that form a minute, the blue will be wider once you get more of them as the average will then start to rise, as the blue is not changing much it suggests the usual sort of jitter on cable, i.e. you see some effects from others in the area also using their connection.
This is a normal day use for me from 4pm on a monday just xbox one play black ops 3 then went off about 8pm watched netflix went to bed.

Hannah continues to do very well at home. She is our constant reminder that God is in control. Not us. We cannot control how much she eats, if she swallows all of her medicine, or how she feels. At every mealtime we find ourselves praying that she would just finish her bottle. We get nervous when she doesn't seem hungry and ecstatic when she is starving. Our faith is constantly being tested! But we continue to believe and trust that God is taking care of her and is mending her heart. Today we received a write-up from her cardiologist with details of her condition thus far. We were reminded that she has come such a long way in a very short period of time. Her shortening fractions on December 15th were listed as 0%, which is literally impossible because she was alive. God has had His hand on her from the very beginning. Although her "numbers" still aren't that great, HE IS. We are believing for a good report from her cardiologist in New Orleans on Thursday, so please keep us in your prayers. Our appointment is at 3:30 pm. Tomorrow we are attending a meeting about an upcoming fundraiser for the Pediatric Cardiology Foundation. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to get involved and help raise awareness in the community. We'll provide more details as the event is planned. Thank you to Doug and Danielle for blessing us with dinner Monday night! You guys are awesome!
Hannah has two new photo galleries! Check them out on the Photos page. Sorry it's taken so long to get these pictures on the web. Thank you all so much for your continued prayers as God remains faithful in Hannah's healing!
Posted on January 27, 2007 Author GregCategories Latest UpdatesLeave a comment on New Hannah Pics!
Hannah hasn't missed a beat after being in the hospital for 3 weeks. She is SO active and is developmentally right where she should be. She reaches out for everything she sees, enjoys rolling over with a little assistance, and is working on sitting up by herself. She is practicing all kinds of new sounds and is more alert than ever. She puts absolutely everything in her mouth, so we are anticipating a few teeth to sprout up soon. We've started her back on cereal twice a day, and very soon we will start vegetables. We've got a supply of carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash ready to go. She hasn't had any trouble gaining weight, that's for sure. She looks plump again and her cheeks are rosy like they used to be. We can't say enough good things about how well she seems to be doing. What a miracle! To think that just a few weeks ago she was critically ill, on a ventilator, and "probably" needing a heart transplant. Only God could have brought her this far in such a short amount of time. We thank Him for guiding her doctors and nurses in making the best medical decisions to get her back to health. They have been awesome. We are believing for positive, dramatic results on her ultrasound this Friday. We pray that her heart will continue to regain its function and that she will get off her medications one by one. We know that our God is able! Special thanks to DeLynn for blessing us with lasagna and the works. It was wonderful!!!!
Hannah got a good report from the cardiologist today! He said that she still looked great and was very impressed by her weight gain. He decreased two of her medications, one of which we will stop giving her on Monday. One down, 7 to go! We were surprised that he didn't feel it necessary to do an ultrasound today, but he said they'll probably do one next week. That just gives us even more time to improve. And all the bloodwork came back fine. Praise God! The best part of our visit was this- he talked to Hannah's cardiologist from Ochsner, and he has apparently been talking to 2 world-renown experts on cardiomyopathy. These doctors specialize in this condition and have done tons of research on it. After hearing all the deatils of Hannah's condition and progress, BOTH of them said that she would not need a transplant, and that she would be FINE! Wow. Amen. This is what we have been believing, but to hear those words from these experts was music to our ears. Apparently her cardiologist from Ochsner was astounded by their beliefs, because her "numbers" on the ultrasounds are still low, but we say Hallelujah that he is amazed. Let him be astounded. Let him question how this could be. Let there be no other explanation to her improvement than God alone. We give Him ALL the glory. He is faithful, He is faithful, He is faithful. And by His stripes, Hannah IS healed. Tomorrow will be a very special day for us- we are celebrating Christmas. The tree is miraculously still green, and all the Mills and Smiths are coming over for dinner and gifts. We have much to celebrate and be thankful for!
Hannah went to the pediatrician today for some lab work. Everyone was amazed by how good she looks! She now weighs 13lbs 8oz — she has gained over a pound in one week! Her pediatrician was very impressed by her progress. In spite of being in the hospital for almost a month, she has pretty much kept up with hitting her milestones! Praise God!
We go to the cardiologist again tomorrow for another ultrasound and checkup. Please pray that the ultrasound would show noticeable improvements in her heart function, and that her heart has become smaller. In spite of all the medication she's on, and all the incredible doctors who are looking after her, we give God 100% of the glory for this miracle! He has orchestrated every single detail as we have gone through this test, and He has walked with us (and continues to walk with us) every step of the way. He is so faithful to His children!
Hannah is still doing great! No news is good news. You would never know anything was wrong with her unless you looked at our kitchen counter and saw all the medications. We did have to use the syringe again this morning to get them all down, but we'll do whatever it takes! Her cardiologist is hoping to get her off 2 of them in the next couple of weeks. Of course, we are believing that she will be off ALL of them in the name of Jesus! What a glorious day when they look at her ultrasound and say, "This is a perfectly normal heart." We believe that day is coming.We'd like to say a special thanks to the Healing Place Church Helps Ministry for blessing us with meals. Thank you Jennifer & Jason Laird and Mary Sylvest. The food was wonderful! It was so nice to not worry about dinner.
The power of prayer and our Almighty God has been so evident throughout this whole experience. We'd like to share two other local stories that have touched our hearts, and they desperately need your prayers as well. One is a 14 year-old girl from Central, LA. Her site password is hospital. (http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/shelbymagee) The other is a young father here in Baton Rouge. (http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/brianhess) And please keep Lanie's family in your prayers for continued strength and peace after losing their daughter. Thank you for your constant support.
Hannah continues to have really good days at home. She is eating well and playing like a normal child. We've become slightly paranoid about…well, just about everything. Yesterday she got really upset because she couldn't fall asleep for her nap. Once she settled down a little, she finally fell asleep, but was still taking deep breaths and sobbing since she had been crying so hard. This lasted about 45 minutes — longer than any other time before. We called the cardiologist, who assured us that as long as her breathing rate seemed normal and she felt ok (no fever), everything would be fine. I guess we are both just being really cautious right now, since we just returned home this week. I (Greg) am also feeling a little under the weather, so I'm trying to limit my exposure to Hannah (just in case).
We received some sad news yesterday from a family we had gotten to know while we were at the hospital. This couple has a six-year-old girl named Lanie, who was in the PICU with a severe case of strep which had spread throughout her body, affecting her blood stream and organs. They were told she would be in PICU for 6 months to a year, and that she would lose her hands and feet. Even after making some improvements, Lanie passed away rather suddenly on Wednesday. Her funeral was today. They have a younger boy, and they are trying to explain all this to him. Please pray for this sweet couple, Mickey and Ginger, that God would give them His peace that passes all understanding. They lifted us up in prayer along with their prayers for Lanie. Pray that God would give them the strength they need to get through this.


Here we explain how to configure your webcam, your computer and your RightBooth settings in order to give you the greatest possibility of achieving satisfactory video recordings using your equipment.
The general approach you should take is to start recording videos at a fairly low resolution, check the results and then gradually increase the video settings until you find the limits of your equipment. It is fair to say that using a newer, faster computer with a good graphics card and a fast, uncluttered hard disk will provide better recording results than older, slower equipment.
As Logitech webcams tend to be the most commonly used make of webcam among our customers, this article concentrates on Logitech. But much of the information presented below is common to all webcams.
Ensure you have good quality, even lighting in the region directly in front of your webcam. This is very important as you will be turning off any automatic light and gain settings (see later). Variable lighting can cause problems with webcam focusing and exposure and this can lead to reduced video recording performance.
Try to ensure no other programs are running on your computer such as web browsers or wordprocessors.
If you are not going to be using RightBooth for emailing or uploading files to the Internet then we recommend you disconnect your computer from your Internet connection. For example: unplug any network cables and also disable the wireless connectivity on your computer. This will avoid the risk of any automatic system (and software) updates occurring while using RightBooth.
Temporarily close any virus protection software. Again, virus checkers can slow down video recording performance especially if they start performing background tasks during the recording.
On the Start Screen click the Settings button.
Select your Webcam. In our example it's the Logitech C920.
Then click the Webcam settings button to open the Logitech Webcam Configuration program.
Ensure the focus slider is fully to the left (landscape focus).
This will ensure that fixed focusing is achieved across the full depth of field of your webcam lens.
This will help improve the performance of the video recording by reducing the changes between each video frame that might be caused by the camera lens re-focusing.
Again, this will help to improve recording performance by reducing the changes between video frames.
Note that some of the settings mentioned in Steps 3 and 4 may not be applicable to your webcam.
Select your microphone. In our example we've chosen the microphone that is integrated in the Logitech C920 webcam.
Whether you are using the webcam's internal microphone or another external microphone for recording audio, we recommend that you test and set the audio input level when at your venue location, and prior to your guests recording any video.
Tick the 'Set audio input level' check box.
You are now ready to try a number of video configurations to see which will generate the best video recordings for you.
We recommend you try recording a number of video files using each one of the configurations described next.
This configuration will create good quality video with small file sizes.
Click the Video Recording Tester and record some test video files.
increasing the webcam video size, trying a test recording each time you change it.
increasing the recording frame rate to 20, 25 or 30.
Using Configuration 2 some webcams will record video using the H264 MPEG data format. This format produces exceptional quality video at very small file sizes, without placing great demands on your computer processor. This means that you can achieve fluent 1920 x 1080 HD recordings at 30 frames per second on most computer equipment.
Using Configuration 2 the Logitech C920 webcam should automatically provide this recording format under Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Now run a RightBooth Video event and record a video file.
If you see the following line: 'recording subtype: H264', then your webcam is recording data in the H264 format.
Also set the Data type property to MJPG if your webcam provides it. The Logitech C920 and the Creative Live Cam both provide this.
This configuration will create very good quality video with fairly small file sizes. Also, by setting the Data type to MJPG you are instructing the webcam to perform some compression of the video data before it is transferred to the PC.
In RightBooth Video settings, tick the option: 'Faster screen updates'. This will reduce the screen processing required while videos are being recorded. Please note that this setting has some implications for the design of your 'Record video' screen in your event files. Please refer to the RightBooth User Manual for more information on the use of this setting.
See our FAQ for a list of other things you can check on your computer that might help improve recording performance.
We hope this information helps you to achieve satisfactory video recording results using RightBooth.

Basically, it can act as a performance support tool for real-time on-the-job training. As you gain more experience, then the checklist acts more as an accountability tool and as a tool to reduce mistakes.
For this reason, checklist content for procedures should constantly be improved, and there are many features around this premise. Every time you interact with a checklist a session is created and historical record of all actions. This history can help you identify the flaws in procedures to improve them for the future. This history can also act as an accountability mechanism.
And just like checklist content should be constantly improved, we want to improve the experience as well. So give MiraCheck a try and share your thoughts with us.
A collection of videos showing the capabilities of MiraCheck - the latest appear first.
Doing pattern work or practicing approaches? This video shows using linking to reset a subset of the items in your checklist. It also shows using Yes / No questions to link to other parts of the checklist.
Get rid of the noise! You can apply filter tags to checklist Items, Sections and Lists. For example, if you have some items that are only needed for when you are flying IFR, or some items only needed for flying at night. This allows you to have a streamlined checklist for your mission each time you run it!

Traditionally educated in fine art and graphic design, Hahn combines his skills in composition, color, proportion and texture to give his works a memorable, yet simple aesthetic. Hahn's contemporary abstract art is collected internationally and exhibited in a variety of venues.
Hahn's modern abstract paintings are notable by his unique use of texture and color to explore emotion while maintaining an aesthetic integrity. Hahn usually begins with thin layers of acrylic paint, laying darker pigment over lighter pigment. He then begins his process of manipulating, deconstructing and often removing paint to expose the light hidden within. To do this, Hahn uses his own hands, rags, or non-traditional materials. This subtractive technique and similar practices have been used throughout time, dating back to ancient Grecian friezes.
Hahn specializes in commissioned art. Whether you are an art enthusiast, interior designer or architect, you know that finding the perfect piece of art for your space can be difficult. He makes commissioning an artist really easy. He can work with you to figure out what style and colors you are looking for. Then he creates renderings of what the art can look like and submits them to you for approval. Combining his contemporary art with a free estimate and renderings in your space, this is a perfect solution for your art needs.

« Are You Ignoring Your LinkedIn Connections?
Is the Experience Section of Your LinkedIn Profile Hurting You?
Whether you're a thirty-year business development professional using LinkedIn to help hit your numbers each and every quarter, just graduating from college and hoping LinkedIn will help you find your first great job, or anything in between, the Experience sections of your profile could make or break you.
You may be wondering where the heck are the Experience sections on my profile—all I remember seeing is a Jobs section. Well, they are one and the same.
This is prime real estate. LinkedIn gives you 2,000 characters for every job you've had. Here's how you can tell your unique branding story, include your most important keywords, and take full advantage of this section.
1. It's more than a list. Describe job duties in a way that will explain and add interest and credibility to your story. Don't simply list what you did. Remember—on LinkedIn you're being compared to other people who do the same thing you do; so the goal here is to impress the reader and stand out from the crowd.
Learn more about using media to set yourself apart from your competitors by reading my article Here's How to Give Your LinkedIn Profile that Wow Factor.
2. What are your strengths? Be sure to include accomplishments that show your diverse experience and your ability to get important stuff done. If you can be specific with statistics and/or results, all the better.
3. Did you get promoted? Add a separate Experience entry for all promotions you received at each job.
4. Tie the past to the present. Highlight the traits, characteristics, responsibilities, and results from your past jobs that most closely align with your current situation. Help the reader understand how your past experience makes you a better fit today.
5. Describe the type of customers you serve/served. You could even include a killer quote from one of your clients that you extracted from either a LinkedIn recommendation or a letter of recommendation.
6. Include descriptive titles. Take advantage of all the characters available (100 max) in your Experience title. This is fertile keyword soil. For example, one of my job titles, CEO | Social Media Trainer and Strategy Consultant (specializing in LinkedIn), I could have simply said CEO, but this is a much better description of what I do, plus the extra keywords (social media, strategy, consultant, LinkedIn) will help people find me.
7. Keywords are key. Keywords, keywords, keywords. Oh—and did I mention keywords? If you need help identifying your best keywords and understanding where to put them, download my free LinkedIn Keyword Worksheet.
8. Order is important. If you want to display multiple current jobs, like the work you are doing with your favorite nonprofit or industry association board in addition to your "day job" (I highly recommend doing this), then simply reorder the entries in your current Experience section.
Do this by holding down the move icon (four horizontal lines) on the right of the actual experience entry and moving up or down to the order you prefer.
9. Grammar matters. Write this section in Word, check out the character count, run spelling and grammar checks, and then save and paste into your profile.
10. Would I hire me? Let some time pass; then review your entries and ask yourself: Will reading this inspire someone to want to hire me as an employee or as a vendor of choice?
Is there a difference between the words experience and jobs? You bet there is, and I hope you now understand how to use the Experience section of your profile as a strategic weapon.
If you would like my professional opinion on your Experience section, as well as the rest of your profile, then take advantage of my specially priced $197 LinkedIn consultation.

School employee dies after breaking up student fight
ST. PETERSBURG (FOX 13) - A Pinellas County School is mourning the loss of a longtime employee after he was rushed to the hospital and died shortly after breaking up a fight between students.
Westgate Elementary School's building manager, 64-year old Jaime LaQuian, died after suffering an apparent heart attack during the incident with the students.
His family is now coming to terms with his loss.
LaQuian came to the United States from the Philippines. He was a father of five and worked as the building manager at Westgate Elementary for 15 years.
Friday was his final day.
"Two kids had some sort of fight at school. He tried to help another teacher at school break it off," Jaime's daughter, Francesca Dave said Tuesday.
His family said surveillance video from inside the school cafeteria showed him crumbling to the ground just after the two students were escorted out. His daughter said he was having a heart attack.
"I'm not blaming anybody. I want to, but I'm not because this was his job. That's what he would do," Dave said.
LaQuian, known by coworkers and students as Mr. Jaime, had a known heart condition his family believes was aggravated by the incident. He was rushed to the hospital and passed away on Sunday.
His family said he died doing what he loved, protecting and providing for his second family at school.
Co-workers said he was an integral part of Westgate's close-knit community. He had a personality that will be impossible to replace.
"He truly was part of our family and he will be very, very much missed," Westgate third-grade teacher Maragaret Goodwin said Tuesday.
LaQuian's wake was being planned for Thursday, May 5. The funeral will be held on Friday at 10 a.m., at St. Paul's Catholic Church in St. Petersburg.

The Low Down: Keep it Lean and Simple!
Ideally, the below breakfasts should be eaten before exercise. They all contain carbohydrate to provide energy for your workout as well as protein to repair tissue from previous sessions in the gym.
If you are not going to the gym or training, you should still eat breakfast.
Simply edit the recipes appropriately. You could half the amount of porridge or only have one piece of toast.
Remember, as discussed in previous articles, I'm not condemning fry ups or pastries in the morning, I'm merely saying these meals should count as your 'free meal' for that week and these cleaner options should make up the rest of your morning feeds.
Use measuring spoons or scales where appropriate.
Stick to unflavoured oats and feel free to use the microwave.
Using a scale, add 40g of oats to a bowl and add 250ml of water and microwave for two and half minutes, occasionally stirring.
Two or three eggs, no milk or cream, cook in a pan with 15g of melted butter.
Serve on one or two slices of wholegrain toast. And avoid ketchups and sauces and look to herbs or veg for flavour.
Avoid sugar-loaded jams and chocolate spreads. Avoid cheese and bacon and sausages. Avoid condiments like mayo and ketchup.
Stick to wholegrain bread and no more than two slices. Other options are wholegrain muffins or wraps. Lightly spread with butter.

British designer Daniel W. Fletcher is one of the names we hear a lot whenever the subject is fresh British menswear done with a real heart for the beautiful and delicate. Throughout the years, Fletcher has become a most sought for his unique perspective on menswear where he is able to explore boyhood beauty and vulnerability. Originally from the North West of England, Daniel relocated to London to study fashion design which soon enough led him into Louis Vuitton, Victoria Beckham, Burberry and Lanvin where he gained experience in the industry before starting his very own brand. Flecther's eponymous label was immediately a stand out as Opening Ceremony quickly snatched the opportunity of working alongside him and stocking his graduate collection. After that, the American clothing brand produced a capsule collection of eight of his designs for Spring Summer 2016.
Since the creation of his namesake label, Fletcher grew to become the epitome of the love affair between boyhood and fashion and that was perhaps the secret ingredient to his growing success among fashion enthusiasts as well as gaining the recognition of those in high places in the fashion industry. In 2018 Daniel w. Fletcher was one of the winners of the European Semi-Final of the International Woolmark Prize where he took part in the global final in 2019. But this wasn't the first time Fletcher's honest and captivating approach to design made him be recognised by the industry. In 2017 Daniel was nominated for the 2017 LVMH Prize as well as receiving the Future British Award supported by Boden. In 2016 the British designer was the recipient of the River Island X BFC Fashion Film Award 2016 for his fashion film, 'Stay', and in 2018 he was named as one of Drapers 30 Under 30.

Season after season Daniel Fletcher has delivered collections that are true to his identity as a designer and creative; often breaking the standard rules to create something more heartfelt and inspiring than the usual cold and unimpressive offerings we often see in the runways and marketplace around the world. Daniel is not afraid of being political and outspoken, yet, he does it in a way that doesn't cross the line and negotiates his true identity as a creative and what he loves to design and produce. Authenticity is one of the many adjectives we could attribute to him and without a doubt, we believe the history of design - especially menswear - is being defined with the help of this incredible designer.
In light of Daniel Fletcher's success and history, iconic Italian label Fiorucci has recently appointed him as their menswear artistic director; a move that for some is still to be fully understood, and yet, we can actually see how this could be just another success story. In deep and total honesty, this may not seem the most obvious partnership and, perhaps, that is exactly why this is just perfect. Fiorucci became famous for its outlandish and bold aesthetic in the 1970s where sex, glamour, and, self-indulgence were strong traits seen throughout their collections and became known as the 'daytime Studio 54' and this moment in the history of Fiorucci became the background and heart of Fletcher's debut collection for the Italian house.
When looking at the collection it is impossible not to identify the signature aesthetics of both brands (Fiorucci and Daniel w. Fletcher) which have been worked out smoothly and cohesively without bending too much to one side or the other. For those who know each of the brands, they would agree that this is not the most obvious pairing. Fletcher is known for sober more romantic creations that emulate boyhood, nostalgia, and tenderness while recognising emotional connections and physical desire. Fiorucci, on the other hand, is known for its out-there, bold and brilliant (with the occasional shine and sparkle) outlandish approach to fashion where the idea of hiding behind prudeness has been long thrown off the window. So if you look at it from this perspective you would agree that "this ain't an obvious pairing", however; this is where things get exciting. Both Fletcher and Fiorucci are moved by their own authentic minds and whether they stand on the same side or opposite extremes when it comes to creating fashion, the pairing is indeed a good match.
The debut collection is a great start for this unique journey as Daniel Fletcher has taken inspiration from the golden days at Fiorucci using it as the backbone of the collection. Exploring sex, glamour and hedonism for his debut, Daniel has chosen to feature Fiorucci's signature splashy logo against acid-bright hues. He took inspiration from a series of sketches rediscovered in the brand's archive, while also including rare denim pieces which have been hand-painted by the legendary Keith Haring. The collection is flooded with pieces designed for a glam-party or glitterball from the oil-slicked, tight-hugging PVC trousers all the way to the stunning and super fun racing overalls. This high-light piece has been reimagined into something more functional without losing fashionability and sparkle so the consumer doesn't have to wait until nightfall at the club to wear this perfect piece. The jumpsuit has also been brightened up by a handful of meticulously-placed 'Fiorucci' patches while several other pieces seen throughout paid tribute to nightlife scenes.
As part of Daniel Fletcher's offering to this collection, tailored pieces are seen strongly throughout with flared trousers, overcoats and tuxedo jackets being just a few examples of what Fletcher can bring to the table. This is indeed a new move for Fiorucci and shows that they are ready to walk into a new direction, this being driven by the unquestionable expertise Fletcher presents. "I think it's every designer's dream to go into a brand with an archive this rich and be able to use it to create something new," Fletcher says of his new appointment. "Fiorucci is not just about fashion, it's about music and art and there's a spirit that is unlike any other brand that makes it so special. For me, Fiorucci is a party brand and I wanted to capture some of that magic. This mix of silhouette, colour palette and references shouldn't necessarily work together but somehow do in a strange, wonderful melting pot that frames my first collection for Fiorucci." And just as both seem to be excited about this new venture we join them in excitement and expectation to what the future holds and we can't wait to see where this journey will lead on.

Amirhossein Sheikh comes from a great cultural background that has affected him photography-wise but doesn't lead his diverse works to a specific path, thus rendering his photographs neutral and devoid of any possible direction.
You started off your first year on Instagram beautifully, but also kind of timidly and exploringly. And then you took off! Were you trying to find your way photography-wise?
When I put my first posts on Ιnstagram I had actually started photography mostly as a hobby. It seemed like an interesting pastime to me during the time; besides I had a good feeling discussing my photos with my friends and appreciated receiving feedback on my work. Going forward, I discovered this strong attraction towards photography, and sought to pursue it in a more professional fashion; until a point that I stopped enjoying my shots like before and began to feel bored, getting this feeling, like I was repeating myself over and over again in every single photo. This was the main reason behind my taking off Ιnstagram for a while. I started to shoot less frequently trying to practice various approaches and exercise more diversity in my works in order to get the satisfaction I wanted out of it just like before.
From minimal to 'theatrical' to street photographs and so many other modes. Would you say that you have a style or that you are partial to a specific one?
I don't consider myself a follower of any particular style; yet you can see quite a variety of those in my works. What matters to me after all is to establish a deep connection with the subject always maintaining a good composition. I will use any style as long as these points are achieved.
Your preference to black and white photography is quite obvious. What are the elements that allure you to it?
My preference towards black and white photos originates from what I feel inside and the way I see the world around me. In other words, my very personal perspective in life. Besides, contrast and contradiction are best shown in black and white; as it can easily be noticed in various elements of my work, depending on my feeling at the moment of shooting.
Hardly never can I guess the origin of your photos, mainly because they seem so 'neutral', so…universal if you like. Is this attempt on purpose?
Definitely! Maybe the reason you can't guess where the ideas behind my photos originate, at the first glance and that they seem neutral to you, is that I really like to leave it to my audience to explore what I experienced at the moment of shooting, for themselves, without giving any direction to their thoughts and clouding their judgement.
Do you let your cultural background affect you as a photographer?
Without a shadow of doubt. The place and culture I grew up in has certainly had its influence on the way that I see and interpret the world around me and thus the formation of my personality as a photographer.
Your photographs that include the human element are given as a way of a report. Not for us to judge or reach conclusions. You just state the facts. But they are not reports of society's problems. You mostly seem like the omnipresent eye of their moments. Am I right to think that?
I am not after revealing and highlighting any problem in society in particular. What I seek to accomplish in my work is to underline the day to day routines that people pass by them so easily. That has always been the main challenge for me in choosing subjects and elements of my photos. I try to be the eye that sees what others cannot.. So yeah! You're absolutely right about that.
You don't use tags, titles and you don't have a bio. Despite these things, you have been prolific enough and the careful eye can understand and appreciate your photographic personality. Is this your way of telling us "please, discover my photos uninfluenced"?
As I mentioned before I don't use tags and titles for my works in an attempt not to limit the viewer's capacity to interpret or dictating any line of thought. I am trying not to affect any personal takes on the photo, because I enjoy hearing and talking about different personal perspectives and various ideas on my work.
"A football game turned into rhythmic gymnastics". That's what came to mind when I looked at this photo. Whether it was a happy coincidence or the result of patience matters little. What are your aspirations Amir?
The main thing that drives me towards a subject, finally resulting in a photo, could be referred to as observing and indicating the "lack" of small things in our modern society that may not be seen or felt by others in its full extent; for instance highlighting the loneliness of an individual amidst the crowd on a typical working day in the city centre. Mentioning the things that are fading slowly and quietly in our society, the nice human values and interactions that are no more pretty little details that are missed… well at least by me.
The photograph you particularly put your finger on is one of the latter. In it the closed door caught my attention as a gateway to future and its infinite probabilities. The children playing remind me of childhood's innocence and pure happiness that I miss and feel somehow disconnected from. Watching children playing together regardless of ethnicity and skin colour. Black and white (my visual tool and element of choice) playing with each other like there's nothing else happening in the world around them, this feeling of freedom and pure joy they take in what they do is actually the reason transforming this street football game into a rhythmic dance as you said.
And there I was, fortunate enough to be looking their direction in the right place at the right time, through my camera lens.

Q: centering div position with responsive I have a div with width 80%, and another with 20%.
the first div has another div relative to it to be centered in the top middle, I tried to add left: 50; but not work

here is the example on JSFiddle

A: You need to set left to calc(50% - 30px); which will center the .circle horizontally.
+----------------------+--------------------+
|     30px -------·    ·                    |

How Much Money Guava Juice Makes On YouTube – Net Worth
Post author By Linda Debrah
Guava Juice is a YouTube channel run by Roi Wassabi, a former member of the Wassabi Productions. He has an estimated net worth of $18 million. The channel has gaming videos like Roblox, Happy Wheels, Horror Games and other random games. Other content are like challenges, DIY videos and other different content. Roi has an undergraduate degree in film studies. He started doing YouTube videos back in 2006, two years before being joined by Alex and the two created one of the most popular YouTube channels. He then decided to venture solo in the industry doing a different type of content.
How Much Money Does Guava Juice Earn On YouTube?
The channel has over 16 million subscribers as of 2020 growing by an around 8,000 new subscribers daily and has accumulated over 6 billion views so far. Roi uploads around 2 videos per day almost everyday. In a day, the channel is able to average around 3.5 million views from different sources. This should generate an estimated revenue of around $17,500 per day ($6.4 million per year) from advertisements that run on the videos.
YouTubers get paid between $2 – $7 per 1000 monetized views after YouTube takes its cut. Monetized views range from 40% – 60% of the total views. All these are influenced by several factors like device played on, the location of the viewer, ad inventory, how many ads there are on a video, how many people skip the ads, type of advertisement, ad engagement , type of content etc. The cost of an ad view is based on an auction between advertisers based on views. Advertisers have to bid a minimum of $0.01 per view.
There is also a program known as Google Preferred where deep-pocketed companies can target ads on the top 5% most popular content. The ad rates here are higher than normal. Apart from ads, YouTubers also generate extra from YouTube Red viewers who pay a monthly fee to view premium content on YouTube plus watch videos without ads. Here they get paid based on watch time on their videos. The longer the viewers watch their videos, the more money they earn.
Roi makes more money through merchandise sales which consists of limited edition tshirts, Guava Juice boxes and others. He also gets big sponsorship deals from Grossery Gang, Pixy Stix etc. He also had an old vlog channel that he stopped posting videos on.

As I approach the completion of Box Van's workshop, I am better able to make a final decision on the optimal space division between my living quarters and the workshop.
My original estimate was 98" front to back for my living quarters. Now, however, I see that I may be able to increase that 98" to perhaps 110" with no impact on the usefulness of my workshop!
I've just returned from Home Depot with the material to make the tall cabinet that I Blogged to you about yesterday. The back of this tall cabinet will be a pegboard.
Also, the drawer cabinet that is mounted to the opposite Box Van wall now has material for a top.
I've just completed my 9-drawer workbench. Well, it's really not completely finished yet. But you get the idea of it.
Yet to come are drawer fronts and pulls. Also, a clear finish. I just bought a Ryobi sander to help me with the finishing [Link].
George that is great news. Keep up the good work.
It makes sense to devote most of the space to the area you will use the most.
How are you going to handle the roll-up door encroaching into your living area when opened? A false ceiling?
In my mind, my living quarters inside Box Van always had its own ceiling and it's own roof.
I am guessing that the ceiling would be about 6 feet high.
You are incredible! So handy with everything. Tools are a key factor though, aren't they? Great job!
I had the good fortune during my lifetime to be taught how to use all manner of shop tools.
My Dad and Uncle both had machine shops, and I worked for both of them.
I also worked for 5-years in a cabinet shop. I have repaired plumbing. Did carpentry work.
I am having such a good time with my Box Van project!
The thing that I like best is, for example, if I need more drawers, I simply make more drawers!
That is such a great compliment!
Don't forget drawers stops,,,take a nice right-hand turn,,Guess what comes flying out?

Delhi Editorial FEATURED Politics TOP STORIES Uttar Pradesh
New controversy over Ashoka Pillar in Parliament, opposition raised objections to lions; One leader even said that instead of lions, a statue of a sheep should be installed by the government.
July 13, 2022 Chief Editor
New Delhi. Opposition parties, who have been continuously protesting since the construction of the new Parliament building, have now accused the Ashoka Pillar installed on top of the building from the original form and displaying angry lions instead of calm gentle lions. Calling it an insult to the national emblem, he has demanded an immediate change. The Congress, Trinamool Congress and RJD leaders have been satirized that the Ashoka period has a tendency to be swallowed up instead of the original work. A day earlier when Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled a replica of the Ashoka Pillar (national emblem) on the front side of the new Parliament building. Worship was also performed and opposition parties raised questions on this.
Opposition leaders had said that Parliament does not belong to the government, so the Speaker should have unveiled it. It was clarified by the BJP that the government is building the Parliament. After the construction is completed, it will be transferred to the Parliament. But the controversy is not taking its name to stop. Since Tuesday morning, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, Trinamool MP Jawahar Sircar and Mahua Moitra, RJD created a new controversy by tweeting.
Congress leaders attacked
Adhir Ranjan wrote, 'Please look at the faces of the lions in both the works. It represents Sarnath or the lion of Gir. Look at it and rectify it if needed.' Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said, 'Changing the character and nature of the lions on the Ashoka Pillar of Sarnath is nothing but an insult to the national emblem of India.'
RJD reacts, Ashoka Pillar
Putting a photo of its difference from the original of Sarnath, the RJD said, 'There is a sense of gentleness on the face of the original and the man-eating tendency to swallow everything of man, ancestors and the country on the face of the masterpiece made in the Amrit period. Every symbol reflects the inner thinking of a human being. Earlier, Jawahar Sirkar had also tweeted something similar.
Mahua Moitra shared both photos, Ashoka Pillar
Trinamool Congress Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra shared the picture of new and old Ashoka Pillar on Twitter. He wrote that truth be told, the transition from Satyamev Jayate to Simhamev Jayate has long been completed in spirit. By sharing both the pictures, they have tried to tell that the Ashoka Pillar installed in the Parliament has been changed.
Sanjay Singh raised question on Ashoka Pillar
On the other hand, Sanjay Singh, a Rajya Sabha member from the Aam Aadmi Party, has gone a step ahead and accused the BJP of changing the national symbol itself. Sharing a tweet, Sanjay Singh raised the question that I want to ask 130 crore Indians whether those who change the national symbol should speak anti-national or not. In the tweet, Sanjay Singh wrote that in the old Ashoka Pillar, Singh looks like a responsible ruler in a serious posture, while in the other (the one on the roof of Parliament) he looks like a scarecrow.
Government responded
In response, Union Urban Development Minister Hardeep Puri also tweeted the photo of both and explained why this difference is visible. He said that it depends on the eyes of the beholder what he wants to see. The original work of Sarnath is 1.6 meters while the work on the Parliament is of 6.5 metres. If it is made in the shape of Sarnath, then both will look exactly the same. The Ashoka Pillar installed on the Parliament House is at a height of 33 meters. Putting a work in the shape of the original work there does not show anything. So a great work has been done. If the Ashoka Pillar motif is also seen from below, it may look as gentle or angry as is being discussed now.
BJP's internet media in-charge Amit Malviya said critics are comparing 2D images taken out in print with giant 3D images, hence are confused.
In this regard, BR Mani, former Additional Director General, Archaeological Survey of India, said that the original pillar is 7-8 feet while it is about 21 feet. With such a difference the perspective changes. The angle is different when viewed from the ground level, but when viewed from the front, it is clear that it is a good attempt to copy. The Ashoka Pillar excavated in 1905 was copied to be installed over the Parliament House of India. The claims of opposition leaders will not be called baseless or meaningless, but it is not right to make political comments on it.
Controversy has been going on regarding the new Parliament House, it is known that the dispute has been standing since the time of the construction of the new Parliament House. Many people had filed a petition in the Supreme Court demanding a stay on the construction of Parliament House and Central Vista, which was turned down by the court. The opposition alleged that the government was spending money unnecessarily, while documents were presented on behalf of the government that the old building has now become dangerous. The suggestion to build a new Parliament building was first made during the Congress era when Meira Kumar was the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.

Wonderful, wildly windy, wet walk!
Well, it might have been wild weather but we were all calm and happy as we enjoyed this afternoon's end to children's mental health week. What a pleasure it was to take 13 children from Year 2 and 15 from Year 4 on a walk over the footbridge and around the Lea Valley. We did get rather wet but it didn't rain all the time we were out and we did have fun jumping in puddles!
Along the way, we had some great conversation and saw lots of interesting sights including a couple of deer, a rabbit, swans and a variety of other waterbirds. We even listened out for the troll as we were being Billy Goats Gruff trip-trapping over the bridge. Year 4 definitely heard him when we came on our fairy tale walk last year but we didn't hear a thing this year – phew!
We also had great fun climbing on the big chair on our way back, which was why we were late, as everyone wanted to have a go!
Thank you to our two volunteer parents who came to help. In spite of the weather, it was a lovely way to finish the week. Roll on the next time we all go for a walk!

Punjab Kings CEO says that the team will leave for the UAE on August 29 : IPL Prediction
The Punjab Kings (PBKS) will travel to the United Arab Emirates on August 29 to prepare for the second half of the IPL 2021 season. They were scheduled to play the Delhi Capitals in the final game of the first half of the tournament, but it was postponed owing to repeated bio-bubble breaches.

KL Rahul, the captain of the Punjab Kings, will also return to the team. If the tournament had gone on, the wicket-keeper batsman would have missed a large number of games owing to appendicitis.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is reportedly rumoured to be preparing a training camp in the United Arab Emirates. SRH, like the Punjab Kings, is finalising plans to dispatch a force within the next two weeks.
CSK and DC to reach UAE before Punjab Kings
The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals (DC) are the first teams expected to arrive in the UAE ahead of the IPL's return.
Despite the fact that the Punjab Kings and other franchises planned to start their camps at the same time, a number of players are still with the national team on their different assignments.
The top two teams in the points table have begun making plans to send their teams as soon as possible. They even applied to the BCCI for permission to travel to the UAE a month before the competition resumed.
The second phase of the IPL 2021 will go off on September 19 in Dubai with a match between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians.

Marcia, has been pleading for this recipe.
She absolutely loves this cake, so here it goes Marcia….
I hope you finally make this!!!
Mix the egg yolks, sugar, oil and water together for about 10minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients, except for the egg whites and mix well.
Separately mix the egg whites until they are soft peaks.
Fold the egg whites into the above batter.
Line a 20cm or 23cm cake tin. And bake for approximately 30minutes (or until baked) at 180 degrees celsius. You can split this into 2 cake tins, if you do so, bake time should be around 15-20minutes. OR you can double the recipe, and split it over two cake tins.
Now if it's only 1 cake you've made, melt a little bit of butter and brush over the cake and sprinkle some cinnamon sugar over it as well (or split cake in half). If you've made two, the middle can be filled with apricot jam or buttercream icing…whatever is your fancy.

Shining a Light on Maternal Mortality
One Mother Lost is Society's Loss
NO MORE MOTHERS LOST
Stop. Look. Listen!

The Mothers Monument
Public Recognition of their Sacrifice
Why a Monument?
Directors & Contributors
Meet these wonderful people
Matt Stearmer
Matt has been conducting research on the status of women since 2002. While doing research on sex-ratios as part of his master's thesis, he discovered that even with all the devastation caused by war, the ratio of women to men remained stable. Exploring this puzzle, Matt discovered that over time and across cultures, more women have died giving birth than soldiers have died in war. That realization was the beginning of the Mothers Monument. He is currently a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Sociology at The Ohio State University.
Jacki Hunlow
Chief Artistic Director
Nationally acknowledged and commissioned, Jacki remains true to her purpose in life of representing the power of women worldwide. Her artwork honors and illustrates the dignity of womanhood as she portrays women's contributions to their cultures and societies. Through donations of Jacki's paintings and sculptures, several hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised to help women throughout the world with microcredit loans and access to health care. As a professional sculptor, painter and multimedia artist, she continues to work to develop her skills and collaborate with other talented artists in various fields. Jacki was selected as the sculptress for the Mothers Monument, a humbling honor. Portraying maternal mortality is a heartbreaking but much needed endeavor. Jacki has been recognized with many national and state awards for art, humanitarian work and leadership. As the 2011 Oregon Mother of the Year, she was able to bring awareness of the role of mothers in society. She is also the founder of the parent organization of Mothers Monument, the Mothers Legacy Project.
Darwin Cox
Darwin was first introduced to the global issue of maternal mortality while engaging with Merck's Office of Corporate Philanthropy in a role that led to the establishment of Merck's "signature" initiative, Merck for Mothers. This initiative involves a 10-year, $500 million commitment to creating a world where no woman has to die giving life. This partnership led to another initiative called the Richard T. Clark Fellowship for World Health. This global program leverages the skills and talents of Merck employees to build and support humanitarian organizations' efforts to answer the health needs of the undeserved.
During 2013, Darwin was selected to participate in this new fellowship program. While working with Physicians for Peace, Darwin was introduced to the Mothers Monument. Within days of returning home from his fellowship assignment, he and Matt were able to meet in person and Darwin joined the team to provide strategic and tactical support for the project. He is grateful for the opportunity to meet and work with so many amazing people involved with this project and is excited to see the monument begin to take shape.

After using the provided sample papers and completing mock exams many of my peers felt questions were at a fair doable level, however all agreed that the timing was ridiculous. Lots of students who faced this exam did not finish the paper and those who did had no time to assess and adjust their answers before having to hand up the paper. To give students the opportunity to express their thoughts and analysis as eloquently as expected, I truly believe more time is necessary. I am asking for thirty additional minutes to be added to the end of our English exam. Our teachers have expressed frustration on behalf of students and themselves but have seemed to be ignored.
As a democratic society that needs its people to be able to think and vote for themselves, I believe disregarding the opinions of its youth (especially in relation to education) is a terrible mistake.
As a future young voter I am disappointed by how little effect the dissatisfaction of students and teachers is having on the decisions being made by both the State Examinations Commission, the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment and in the Dáil itself.
Everyone is affected by this problem, students who are going to take the exam, teachers and parents that have to deal with nerves that the uncertainty this exam has brought, the entire country that will deal with the decisions these students make as future voters.
By signing this petition you help students feel heard and give us the opportunity to make real change in our country.
