Foregone are the days when "that will do" or "as long as it works" can be used when it comes to web design/APP design, some companies still expect the developers to apply "minimalistic" design to a website and call it good enough for client. With increasing difficulty to capture a visitor's attention – we focus very hard on user experience and user interface, each one of our projects is designed from ground up by in-house designers, no matter if it's a web design, app design or a print design.
Our design process always starts with planning, it's important to us that the client receives the type of design that they are after, however we are always keen on providing our own input, as not every client spends more than half of their day looking at different projects, print designs or apps.
We use these tools daily for prototyping and building all kinds of different designs for our clients and their customers.

Isis and Nephthys in the Ancient Egyptian Coffin of Nesykhonsu.
The iconography in Ancient Egypt was not gratuitous. Every image had a reason to be, but also every space.
From the Old Kingdom the two mourners in the role of Isis and Nephthys were accompanying the dead until the tomb at both ends of the mummy. The hieroglyphs of the wooden coffins from the Middle Kingdom tell how Isis was located at the feet and Nephthys at the head. This position could be due to a will of reproducing the moment of the rebirth of the deceased.

Later on the art of Ancient Egypt found in the coffin a new surface for including several icons, as the two professional mourners. From the XXI Dynasty became common to include these two female figures upside down in the in the external feet surface of the lid of the anthropoid coffin.
The inner part of the coffin offered also the artists of ancient Egypt a great surface for the sacred iconography. So, what was outside could also be drawn inside. At that point is emblematic the outer coffin of Nesykhonsu (XXI-XXII Dynasty), in whose interior…

In Ancient Egypt Isis was the South and Nephthys the North.
In Ancient Egypt the Legend of Osiris was so important that it was integrated into the solar theology. As a result Isis and Nephthys, the two mourners of Osiris, became an essential part of some solar iconography, so both from the New Kingdom were depicted flanking the solar disk in its daily rebirth.

It also had an effect in the holy conception of geography in Ancient Egypt. If the rising sun occupied the east and the sunset the west, the two mourning goddesses had to be also located somewhere, so they had to have also a geographical assignation: north and south. At that point the titles of the two goddesses are quite explicit. In Ancient Egypt, Isis was "The One of the South" and Nephthys "The One of the North".

In Ancient Egypt were Isis and Nephthys Essential in Cartonnages.
Cartonnages in Ancient Egypt were used over the wrapped mummy mainly for mummy masks and some important parts of the body.
The cartonnage of Irtirutja in the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York dates from the Ptolemaic period. In it one can see how the artist of Ancient Egypt dedicated this technique for covering some special parts of the mummy.

The fact of choosing those parts of the anatomy could reveal an intention of including the essential elements in the belief of Ancient Egypt for the dead's resurrection.
Obviously the mummy mask was obligated, since, among the many faculties the dead had to recover, there were the faculties of seeing and breathing.
The feet of the mummy were covered with two images of Anubis. It seems as if they were inverted, but they are actually dressed to the deceased's eyesight.
Two images of the scarab with the solar disk were also a grant of the mummy's rebirth. In Ancient Egypt, the Osiriac resurrection and the solar rebirth were united, in the iconography and in the religious texts.

The four sons of Horus (two at each side of the body) were also included in the composition, They were a personification of the canopic jars, which contained the dead's viscera, so they accompanied always the deceased.
Finally, the ancient Egyptian artist could not omit two of the most important figures in the dead's resurrection: Isis and Nephthys, the two professional mourners, who making a mourning ritual gave the faculties back to the mummy…

Nephthys in Ancient Egypt, Assitant of Isis.

In the last post it was considered the role of Nephthys in the religion of Ancient Egypt. It is a fact that Nephtys was a very important goddess in the ancient Egyptian pantheon. Isis needed her help for granting the resurrection of Osiris; they both Isis and Nephthys formed a perfect team. But it is also a fact that Nephthys in some cases seemed not to be indispensable.
Isis was the real one who stimulated the virility of Osiris.
Isis was the mother of Horus, so Isis was the one who could give a legitimate heir to the throne of Ancient Egypt. Nephtys was also important in that birth, since she was present during this childbirth. So Nephthys assisted her sister Isis.

The common icon in Ancient Egypt for maternity was the woman nursing her baby, applied by the artist of Ancient Egypt in private and royal art. It is very common the image of a mother suckling his baby in statues and reliefs from private tombs. We find also regular in royal monuments to find reliefs of Hathor or Sekhmet nursing the king; but the image of maternity par excellence in Ancient Egypt for maternity was Isis nursing Horus.
Nephthys was not a mother, but the wet nurse. According to the Pyramid Texts (Pyr. 365) she suckled the king, Horus on earth. So, as in the case of the chilbirth, Nephthys assisted her sister Isis.

Four Egyptian Mourners, Four Egyptian Locks of Hair.
Ancient Egypt iconography is usually clear and understandable. Some other times, although the scenes are explicit, the sense of the image it is not so clear. That happens especially with religious images accompanying sacred texts from XIX Dynasty. That is the case of the resurrection scene from the tomb of Ramses IX belonging to the Book of the Caverns, in which four women pull their front lock of hair towards the mummy.
Women pulling lock of hair over the dead. Tomb of Ramses IX. Valley of the Kings. XX Dynasty. Photo: Mª Rosa Valdesogo Martín.
We know that this was a gesture made by mourners as one of the practices for helping in the dead's restoration. But we also know tha these mourners making that were the two representatives of Isis and Nephtys.
The scene from the tomb of Ramses IX shows four women instead of two. Now the question is why?
Looking for more exmaples the only similar scene we found is an image from the temple of Osiris in Abydos. Here four women appear in a sorrow position with a front lock of hair falling forwards. Although they are not pulling the hair, it is clear the realtionship of it with the Osiris resurrection. But the inportant point here is that they are four and not two.
In the Egyptian Book of the Caverns from the tomb of Ramses IX, these four women are named as "...the Goddesses who mourn together in the secret place of Osiris…". So, it would not be crazy to think about these four female figures in the temple of Osiris in Abydos, also as women with a divine nature.
But…who?…Any idea?…
We will see in the next post.

The Ancient Egypt burial and rebirth "narrated" in a fragment of a coffin.
Today I would like just to stress the importance of watching well the pieces in museums all over the world for knowing better Ancient Egypt.
Usually people focus on travelling to Egypt or on watching those big pieces in great museums. It is obviously necessary (if not essential) both. But we cannot undersatimate less famous museums and pieces, which also show us so much about Ancient Egypt culture.
Fragment of a coffin. V Century BC. Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest.
This is the case of this fragment of a Egyptian coffin dating from the Late Period in the Museum of Fine Arts of Budapest. Apparently the images here are the usual funerary images we can find in some other formats for Ancient Egypt art (walls, stelae…). And it fact, they are. But, we are facing different scenes in the same surface. The point is: are they independent? or Are they conected and telling a sequence?
Probably many "western" visitors looking at that piece would watch it from top to down. So, first the scarab, second the winged goddess Maat, then the mummy with Anubis and the two mourners Isis and Nephtys, and finally the mummy on the boat. In that order, there is no sequence at all.
However, the decoration is on a sacred surface, on a funerary surface, and had to have a funerary meaning. Because in Ancient Egypt belief, the art had a practical purpose. In this case, and taking into consideration that these images belonged to an Egyptian cadaver, they had to be there related of the resurrection of the mummy.
The corpse neing transported to the necropolis.
Firstly the corpse was transported to the necropolis and he/she had to to cross the Nile, and that is what the Egyptian artists drew at the bottom of the piece.
Restoring rites. Anubis emblaming the corpse and Isis and Nephtys at both ends making the mourning rite.
Once in the necropolis took place the restoring rites for giving back the life to the death. That is, Anubis embalming the mummy and the two professional mourners in the role of Isis and Nephtys making the mourning rite for giving back the vital faculties to the body.
The winged goddess Maat, Egyptian goddess of order, truth and righteousness; and the scarab with the solar disk, Egyptian icon of rebirth.
Afterwards the dead entered in the Hereafter, but before being accepted there he/she had to overcome the final judgment (psicostasia). Here the dead had to show that on earth he/she had behaved following the Maat's rules, that is correctly, since she (here the winged goddess) was the goddess of order and righteousness.
Once it was proven that he/she had been righteous, he/she could enter into the Heaven. The final resurrection was a fact. The scarab with the solar disk is a typical Egyptian icon of rebirth.
Summing up, this fragment of coffin should be "read" from bottom (funeral) to top (resurrection); only like that the two middle registers have a meaning: the restoring rites and the final judgment.
Let's watch at Ancient Egypt art with an Ancient Egypt logic.

Ancient Coins Coin Collectors to Challenge State Department on Import Restrictions
Coin Collectors to Challenge State Department on Import Restrictions
Ancient Coin Collectors Guild
The ACCG has launched phase two of a coordinated plan to challenge import restrictions on ancient coins.
As a British Airways jetliner touched down in Baltimore on April 15th , many U.S. citizens were busy writing last minute checks to the IRS. In the face of mounting global crises, they could hardly have anticipated that some of their tax dollars would be used by the U.S. State Department (DOS) to wage an ideological war against coin collectors.
Part of the cargo of BA 229/16 that day was a small packet of 23 very common, inexpensive, Cypriot and Chinese coins being imported by a collector advocacy group, the Ancient Coin Collectors Guild (ACCG). The entry of these coins, forbidden by DOS under bilateral agreements with Cyprus and China, marked the launch of a test case to determine whether the State Department has banned their importation properly under a 1983 law dealing with the protection of cultural property.
As mandated, U.S. Customs detained these coins being imported from the United Kingdom. The ACCG now plans to use this detention as a vehicle to strike down the unprecedented regulations banning importation of whole classes of ancient coins, The collectors' group claims that, among other abnormalities, the decision process for these agreements was orchestrated contrary to the spirit and intent of governing law.
Moreover, they claim that the State Department misled Congress and the public about its decision not to follow the recommendations of its own Cultural Property Advisory Committee (CPAC) — a group of experts charged with advising the president on how best to balance the goals of protecting cultural heritage against the needs of a legitimate trade in cultural artifacts.
Washington attorney Peter K. Tompa, of the law firm Bailey & Ehrenberg PLLC, will represent the ACCG in this matter, According to Tompa,
"Research and discovery to date in a separate ongoing Freedom of Information Act case strongly suggests that State Department bureaucrats acted improperly by adding coins to import restrictions on Chinese cultural goods without any formal request from PRC officials.
Even more troubling, is their July 2007 decision to impose import restrictions on coins of Cypriot type, which appears to have been adopted contrary to the recommendations of CPAC."
The ACCG (http://accg.us) is a non-profit organization promoting the free and independent collecting of coins from antiquity. It advocates protection of cultural resources through programs like the United Kingdom's Treasure Act and Portable Antiquities Scheme that recognize public participation.

Syracuse University announced Monday that Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama will be visiting the school in October as part of a two-day event called "Common Ground for Peace."
The 14th Dalai Lama will speak on the second day at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, October 9 in the Carrier Dome. His speech will be followed by the One World Concert, emceed by Whoopi Goldberg and featuring a performance by Dave Matthews.
Other expected performers include Counting Crows, Andy Grammer, Nas and two dozen other artists. The university says the concert is being recorded for broadcast television and will feature an original song written and performed by multiple artists.
According to SU, the two-day schedule includes academic panel discussions for faculty and students. Panelists include CIA head R. James Woolsey, Jr.; Global Partnerships Forum founder Amir Dossal; Nobel Peace Laureate Dr. Mohamed El Baradei; human rights advocate Martin Luther King III; NYU's Moral Courage Project director Irshad Manji; and former U.N. ambassador Andrew Young.

NBC News correspondent and former "Today" show co-host Ann Curry will moderate two panel discussions -- one on last year's Arab Spring and another on shifting global consciousness toward peace. Tickets are limited, but students will be able to watch the panels on closed-circuit TV broadcasts on campus.
Ticket prices and the full list of performers for the Oct. 9 One World Concert have not been announced yet, but concertgoers can sign up at oneworld.syr.edu to receive email notifications for updates, including when tickets will be on sale to the public.
Syracuse University says proceeds from the event will support international relief efforts and help fund a new scholarship named for Bassel Al Shahade, the graduate student filmmaker who was killed in May while filming a documentary about violence in his home country of Syria.


The Homeric Hymn to Demeter, composed in the late seventh or early sixth century B.C.E., is a key to understanding the psychological and religious world of ancient Greek women. The poem tells how Hades, lord of the underworld, abducted the goddess Persephone and how her grieving mother, Demeter, the goddess of grain, forced the gods to allow Persephone to return to her for part of each year. Helene Foley presents the Greek text and an annotated translation of this poem, together with selected essays that give the reader a rich understanding of the Hymn's structure and artistry, its role in the religious life of the ancient world, and its meaning for the modern world.
Helene P. Foley is Olin Professor of Classics at Barnard College, Columbia University. She is author of Ritual Irony: Poetry and Sacrifice in Euripides, coauthor of Women in the Classical World: Image and Text, and editor of Reflections of Women in Antiquity.

Committing to a major is difficult when you can't decide between reading some of the greatest works of literature as an English major or engrossing yourself in figuring out how the universe came about as a physics major. Having a double major in two opposite fields at the same time leads to all-nighters in the library and interferes with your TV-watching schedule. Instead of relaxing and when you finish up your history essay, you might have to run off to a chem lab.
But tackling a double major isn't all bad.
While students who study subjects in only one area can get stuck approaching problems from just one angle, studying subjects from two vastly different fields forces you to develop your left and right brain. For all the extra effort double majoring in humanities and STEM requires, the flexibility and strengths you you develop in multiple areas is invaluable.
Most people find writing essays to be the most laborious component of humanities classes. But learning to write well in humanities classes ends up helping you in your STEM classes and gives you the skills you need to convince your reader that temperature and pressure are related when you write your physics lab report. "There is, even in science, a rhetoric of persuasion going on…even if you know you're right, you have to be able to show other people why this is so," Patrick O'Neill, an English professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said. No matter how obvious the evidence seems to you, if you want to excel in that bio class, you must be able to write clearly and convincingly. By applying your writing skills to your STEM papers, you'll be able to write A-plus lab reports in no time.
While you probably won't find yourself using the periodic table in your Spanish class, and you might not have the opportunity to show off your Python skills on your linguistics final, you can apply the skills you learn from your STEM major to give you a boost in your humanities studies. "Computer science, and this may be different in other STEMs but I don't think it is, is all about solving problems [and] breaking up one task into smaller tasks, and that's a skill that is applicable to everything you do," Diane Pozefsky, director of undergraduate studies in computer science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said. STEM subjects teach you to think analytically, and you can succeed in a humanities major by applying this skill to your readings and discussion posts. By using the different modes of thought when you double major, you can create new connections and be more efficient when completing your work.
One of the biggest stressors of a double major in humanities and STEM is the sheer amount of work. Classes are unlikely to overlap, meaning that you'll have to spend a lot of time studying. Overlapping classes that fulfill requirements within each major can cut down on the amount of classes that you have to take and end up decreasing your burden each semester. But by organizing your homework schedule so you work on homework from a humanities and STEM class during the same study session, you won't fry your brain. When you've been programming for hours and simply can't write another line of code, it's helpful to switch gears and knock out a reading assignment for your philosophy class. Making sure you're maximizing your time by taking classes that count for both majors, and keeping yourself attentive by switching between subjects while working, makes the time spent studying go by faster.
Your double major in humanities and STEM demonstrates that you have strong communication and analytical skills, and after all the work you put in, you better emphasize this to employers. "[You've] shown that you're flexible and that [you] understand different areas, and that you're not bound by the box of one particular field or point of view," Elizabeth Schuster, assistant dean of academic advising at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said. Beyond proving your ability to keep up, your double major shows your ability to branch out and innovate. "You also may be more creative and able to look outside the box if you've thought of things in different ways. It's not necessarily facts you're learning," Schuster said, "but ways of thinking which expand your ability to bring creativity to whatever area you're going into." Your determination to double major and study all that you wanted portrays your passion and drive that certainly makes you stand out as a candidate.
Despite the all-nighters you pulled to finish your classics essays and the early mornings spent finishing up your math homework, you'll leave college satisfied because you'll graduate feeling like you accomplished everything you planned to. Maximizing the college experience by assuming a double major helps you build connections, expand your way of thinking and increase your job prospects. March towards your diploma amid choruses of "Pomp and Circumstance" knowing you didn't sacrifice one of your interests for another.
Double Major, Double the Chance of Employment?

16 burnt to death in South Africa mini-bus crash
The SUV driver lost control after a tyre burst and collided head-on with a 22-seater Mercedes-Benz bus, provincial transport ministry spokesman Mike Maringa told AFP on Wednesday
Johannesburg. Sixteen people were burnt to death on Tuesday when a minibus taxi and an SUV collided on a highway in South Africa's northeastern Limpopo province, a local official said.
The SUV driver lost control after a tyre burst and collided head-on with a 22-seater Mercedes-Benz bus, provincial transport ministry spokesman Mike Maringa told AFP on Wednesday.
"The bus burst into flames and 16 occupants trapped inside were burnt alive," he said.
The SUV driver was killed on impact, he said. Eight other people survived with injuries.
Privately-owned minibus taxis are widely used by the commuting public in South Africa.
Despite having one of the most developed highway networks on the continent, South Africa has one of the world's worst records for road safety -- a phenomenon usually blamed on poor driving.
Nearly 1,500 people were killed on the roads during the Christmas holidays, according to government.

UK: Stockwell garage bus driver dies from COVID-19: "There is no protection at work"
Miles Driver
Workers at Stockwell bus garage in Lambeth, south London, have taken up a collection for the family of bus driver Cesar Augusto Cardenas who died from COVID-19 on September 30.
Cesar was just 46 years old. He reportedly leaves behind a young family, including a son with special needs. He had worked at the garage for more than 20 years. A collection box in the output area where drivers sign-on for duty features a photograph of Cesar inscribed with the words "In Loving Memory".
On Thursday, driver David O'Sullivan from the London Bus Rank-and-File Committee visited Stockwell garage and spoke with drivers. O'Sullivan is currently challenging his unfair dismissal by bus operator Metroline after he blew the whistle over the spread of infections at Cricklewood garage and called for urgent safety measures to protect lives.
Stockwell drivers told O'Sullivan they were not informed by the company of Cesar's illness and only discovered he had COVID after he had died. The garage is operated by the Go-Ahead Group which is listed on the London Stock Exchange with a market capitalisation of £341.53 million and net revenue of £3.96 billion.
Go-Ahead has the second highest number of drivers who have died from COVID-19 during the pandemic. Between March 2020 and May 2021, nine Go-Ahead drivers died in London, according to information released by the office of London Mayor Sadiq Khan earlier this year. Only Metroline had recorded a higher number of deaths in this period with 15 of its drivers killed by the virus.
There were 52 cases of COVID-19 at Stockwell garage between October 2020 and the start of August 2021, according to information obtained last month via a Freedom of Information request. Across London bus garages, 2,665 COVID infections were recorded during this time. The bus companies have routinely concealed information about infections to minimise staff absences and protect mileage and profits.
A driver from Stockwell told O'Sullivan he had himself caught COVID in February, "I was not vaccinated and was off sick for weeks. I was very lucky that I was able to return to work and I now have my two doses [of the vaccine].
"The problem is that there is no protection at work. We get very little PPE. We only get a pack of hand wipes once a month, and we have to be very careful how we use it, as it's very difficult to get more. I do not believe the buses are cleaned daily, there are too many and not enough cleaners. I myself do it on each bus—I have my own spray and spend time cleaning the cab before I go out. I do not know how spare drivers cope as they may have to drive a number of different buses in a day.
"The union does very little if anything for us and we have very little information about what is going on, you always see them having tea with the managers.
"I will read up on these leaflets and read about your case. We are not told anything at all about this, or what you told us about the increase in COVID infections among children. We have to drive them to and from different schools. I am off this Sunday and could be interested in the London Bus Rank-and-File Committee, we have no-one who speaks for us and we have to."
COVID, Capitalism, and Class War: A Social and Political Chronology of the Pandemic
Mehring Books, the publishing arm of the Socialist Equality Party (US), is proud to announce the publication in epub format of Volume 1 of COVID, Capitalism, and Class War: A Social and Political Chronology of the Pandemic, a compilation of the World Socialist Web Site's coverage of this global crisis.

Another driver at Stockwell garage who stopped to speak with O'Sullivan said, "I remember you from last time. COVID is still around and is frightening. It's very important what you are doing as our lives are on the line every day and who cares for us? No one does.
"The union is not what it should be. Why aren't we informed about these drivers dying in London? 56 drivers' deaths, this is a lot—but even this is kept away from us, and the unions do not even get us PPE. I didn't read the leaflet last time you came, but I will definitely this time."
The untimely and preventable death of Cesar Cardenas underscores the ongoing threat to workers' lives from the pandemic. Just one day after Cesar died, Jean Sebastian Maludi, a 67-year-old retired bus driver from Ashford, Surrey, died from COVID-19 despite being double jabbed. He had no underlying health conditions.
Maludi's daughter, 21-year-old Dora, told Surrey Live, "We didn't even contemplate he would pass away. We were scared initially, but we thought he was going to make a full recovery". She continued, "He was a bus driver for a long time after he moved to this country. But before he arrived here, he took loads of photos, he was an aspiring photographer and documented life wherever he went.
"He loved writing and was working on a lifelong dream of opening a film studio for people in his native country, the Democratic Republic of Congo, to teach and train people about the culture of film."

As of April this year, the government have relaxed eligibility rules meaning households earning less than £80,000 and £90,000 in London can now use shared ownership schemes to own property. When the average national price of an entry level property now costs £140,000, should the first-time buyer look towards government shared ownership schemes as a first port of call more frequently in the future?
Achieving the life-goal of 'homeowner' is becoming incredibly difficult for first-time buyers, according to a recent report made by the credit experts, TotallyMoney. How can first-time buyers grasp a secure footing on the property ladder when the price of entry level homes has increased by 20% over the past decade? One possible solution lies in government shared ownership schemes.
However, the report has highlighted a naivety in first-time buyers' knowledge of what a shared ownership scheme actually is; with only 28% of 18-24 year-olds having any understanding of the government scheme. Should the public be more aware of shared ownership and is this the future when buying a house for the first time?
The consumer group Which claim, "it can enable you to get on to the property ladder more quickly than you might if you wanted to buy a home outright; it may be cheaper than renting; and you can sell a shared ownership property at any time and will benefit from any increase in value it's seen since you bought." Although these obvious benefits, along with affordable deposits and subsidised rents, should be a consideration, only 19% of property buyers in the last ten years have used a government buying scheme; with only 6% using the shared ownership scheme. Why are buyers reluctant to use this method of home ownership?
Other legitimate concerns include losing a "right to manage" voice as properties will always be maintained by the housing association, even when the contract to the property is owned in full. The inclusion of rigorous stipulations on sub-letting and potential conditions on reselling the property has also encouraged many first-time buyers to avoid the shared ownership option.
Even though this form of housing ownership should become a more popular option among first-time buyers, many are struggling with the confusing quagmire of stipulations once they use the scheme. Unless hidden costs become more transparent, unreasonable restrictions are relinquished and the scheme is promoted more successfully to a wider audience, it could struggle to help the 40% of first-time buyers, currently reliant on financial support from friends and family, to buy their first home.
As a conveyancer, are you finding more clients opting for a shared ownership option? What do you find to be the major struggles with this home buying option?


The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority on Tuesday extended its sponsorship of the Pac-12 Men's Basketball Tournament through 2020 by unanimously authorizing $500,000 to fund the four-day event.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority continued to invest in sports as a vehicle to bring visitors to Southern Nevada, unanimously authorizing $500,000 to fund an extension for promoting the Pac-12 men's basketball tournament into 2020.
The board of directors on Tuesday approved the sponsorship of the four-day, single-elimination event at T-Mobile Arena that annually determines the conference's representative in the NCAA Tournament.
The board was required to approve the Las Vegas Events-budgeted event because it commits funding beyond the current fiscal year. The 2020 tournament is scheduled for March 11-14.
The Pac-12 event has grown to become the best attended of four postseason college basketball tournaments in Las Vegas. The LVCVA and Las Vegas Events also have funding deals with the Mountain West and West Coast conferences. The Western Athletic Conference negotiates directly with Boyd Gaming, which hosts the tournament at Orleans Arena.
LVCVA CEO Rossi Ralenkotter said one of the agency's goals is for Las Vegas to be an appealing site for NCAA first round, regional and Final Four play.
"The intent is to continue to have the tournaments in Las Vegas so there are negotiations going on all the time," Ralenkotter said after Tuesday's meeting.
The NCAA hasn't embraced Las Vegas in the past despite having an abundance of hotel rooms to accommodate teams and fans because of the presence of legalized sports betting. That concern could evaporate next year if the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down or modifies the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act that bans sports wagering in all but four states since betting could become more commonplace nationwide.
The 65,000-seat Las Vegas stadium, when completed in 2020, is a possible location for a basketball Final Four. The NCAA usually chooses large stadiums for its four-team finale to the tournament.
Ralenkotter said while the Pac-12 event is expected to attract 10,500 out-of-town visitors, mostly from West Coast cities, the value of the sponsorship is in the resulting media and television coverage at a time when college basketball fans are most interested in the sport.
In recent months, the LVCVA has placed a greater emphasis on sports in a bid to position the city as a home for various competitions just as it is recognized as the Entertainment Capital of the World. In recent weeks, the agency has promoted the first of two NASCAR races, USA Sevens rugby, the Vegas Golden Knights National Hockey League team, the Las Vegas Lights minor-league soccer team and UFC fights in addition to the four basketball tournaments. Next weekend, the city will host two Major League Baseball spring training games between the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians.
While board members voted unanimously without debate for the $500,000 sponsorship, the LVCVA has been criticized for big spending on sports, most notably for the $80 million naming-rights deal for Las Vegas Ballpark, the new minor-league baseball stadium being built for the Las Vegas 51s in Downtown Summerlin.
It's believed to be the largest naming-rights deal ever done for a minor-league facility.
In other business Tuesday, the LVCVA board unanimously approved a $2.67 million construction management contract to a joint venture that includes a Las Vegas contractor.
The construction-manager-at-risk contract will go to a collaboration between New York-based Turner Construction and Martin-Harris Construction of Las Vegas.
The contract is for construction of a 600,000-square-foot exhibition hall, meeting rooms and support facilities totalling 1.4 million square feet to expand the Las Vegas Convention Center on land used as a parking lot northwest of the existing Convention Center.
The $2.67 million contract for pre-construction work also says the joint venture would be paid 2.8 percent of the guaranteed maximum price of the project which is being designed by a team of five collaborating architecture firms known as Design Las Vegas.
Ralenkotter said the maximum price, which is required before major construction work can begin, would be determined in the next four to six months.
Reviewers were impressed that the Turner-Martin-Harris group is planning to schedule construction work that doesn't conflict with when key craftsmen are needed on three other major Las Vegas projects — the Las Vegas stadium, Resorts World Las Vegas and the Drew Las Vegas renovation. The group also assessed working around times when the convention center campus is busy with large trade shows.
Tuesday's meeting was the first for Las Vegas Councilwoman Michele Fiore, who replaced former Councilman Ricki Barlow on the board.
LVCVA officials applauded the goals of the Turner-Martin-Harris joint venture to subcontract small businesses, minorities and women.
By law, the company is required to award 15 percent of its subcontracts to small business enterprises; the companies are targeting 25 percent.
While there is no requirement for minorities and women, the companies are looking to hire 14 percent from minority business enterprises and 7 percent from women business enterprises.

Adam Robitel's "Escape Room: Tournament of Champions": Film Review
Freddy Kreuger (Nightmare on Elm Street)
Jason Voorhees, Freddy Kreuger, Michael Myers. The biggest draw to most horror-thriller franchises are sociopathic marquee murderers. Yet Escape Room: Tournament of Champions manages to uniquely thrive by placing focus on the characters' environments, in this case intricately designed escape rooms, to develop thrills. While many might liken the reliance on the dangerous rooms to the Saw franchise's gory traps, that series still prominently features a marquee murderer in the ominous Jigsaw.
In Adam Robitel's feature, the only traditional villain "present" is the Minos Corporation, a shadow organization that tries to capitalize and predict human behavior in extreme circumstances. Their motivations make sense given that they're name is an anagram for the word omens.
However, beyond the elusive Minos Corporation, the escape rooms themselves function as the true antagonists of the film. Each time Zoe (Taylor Russell) and the other contestants enter a room, the audience is given a new character to analyze. As the individuals try to crack the puzzle, we get a piece of the room's characteristics; how each little element eventually reveals the dangers and weaknesses of the antagonistic space. The rooms even begin to interconnect with one another, telling a overarching narrative through the environments.
The use of the escape rooms as the antagonists does lead to some missteps. The third act get a tad convoluted in an attempt to find a more traditional villain. Yet, Escape Room: Tournament of Champions is such a fun crowdpleaser, that you won't mind the twists and turns it takes you on. Unlike a real escape room, I was actually disappointed when it was over!
The entire production design team, led by Edward Thomas, is to be commended for developing the escape rooms that work as the antagonistic forces in Escape Room: Tournament of Champions. Each "level" is wildly different in style, from the gritty subway car to the warped picturesque beachfront. While the way the contestants solve the puzzles is exciting, it would be nothing without a teriffic production design crew making nightmarish escape room plans come to life.

Stony Brook Places in Top 10 in Annual Hearst Journalism Awards
At the end of every year, the Hearst Journalism Award Program recognizes the universities that have won the most awards throughout the year. For the first time this year, Stony Brook was one of them.
Stony Brook placed sixth nationally in the Intercollegiate Multimedia category, behind heavyweight journalism programs at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Missouri, and ahead of Syracuse University and Arizona State University.
"Our journalism students are talented storytellers who are dedicated to telling stories that can make a difference and that often go untold," said Laura Lindenfeld, dean of the School of Communication and Journalism and executive director of the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science. "It's an honor to be recognized for their hard work throughout the year, and one that they truly deserve."
Often called the Pulitzers of college journalism, the Hearst Program holds year-long competitions in writing, photojournalism, audio, television and multimedia for undergraduates in journalism programs. Awards are given every month, and those wins add up over the course of the year. The universities with the most wins are named intercollegiate winners.
During the 2020-2021 academic year, 17 journalism students received awards for seven in-class reporting projects. The reporting project that examined the legacy of slavery on Long Island received the most awards of any project at Stony Brook, and several other students were recognized for their capstone reporting projects, which are long-form multimedia stories that are the result of a full semester of work.
"I always encourage our students to submit their work for consideration in the Hearst Program, because I'm confident that what they do ranks among the best college journalism out there," said George Giokas, a journalism instructor who coordinates the Hearst Program for the School of Communication and Journalism and submits the students' work to Hearst. "This intercollegiate award is one more demonstration of their talent and their hard work."

49ers To Meet With Myles Garrett In Case Browns Don't Take Him No. 1
The San Francisco 49ers will meet with Myles Garrett in case the Cleveland Browns don't take him first overall as widely expected.
The 49ers own the second overall pick.
John Lynch was on hand for Garrett's pro day workout in College Station, Texas, and seemed dutifully impressed that Garrett participated.
"I thought it was impressive," Lynch said. "Here's this kid who really doesn't need to show everyone much more, but yet he shows up and runs a 40. I think it just speaks to the kind of kid he is. It was impressive. It's well-documented – I'm not saying anything ground-breaking – he's a special athlete.
"He checks all the boxes. That's why people are talking about him in the way they are."

Browns Won't Trade First Overall Pick
The Cleveland Browns have ruled out trading the first overall selection in the 2017 NFL Draft.
"No," Jackson said. "I can tell you no on that one."
The Browns are widely expected to draft Myles Garrett even though they're publicly non-committal.
The Browns have Brock Osweiler, Cody Kessler and Kevin Hogan on the roster at quarterback.

Bears To Hold Private Workout With DeShone Kizer
The Chicago Bears will hold a private workout with Notre Dame's DeShone Kizer.
The Bears also sent a contingent to the Clemson pro day last week to get a closer look at QB Deshaun Watson. The club also had at least one representative at North Carolina's pro day earlier this week, where another top-rated QB, Mitch Trubisky, worked out.
The Bears signed Mike Glennon in the offseason but he's considered a bridge quarterback.

Solomon Thomas Goes To 49ers At No. 2 In Half Of Major Mock Drafts
Stanford defensive end Solomon Thomas is expected to be selected by the 49ers by nine of 17 major mock drafts.
New general manager John Lynch played at Stanford.
Thomas had 8.5 sacks and 14 tackles for loss last season, including a sack in the Sun Bowl.

49ers Will Continue To Explore Quarterback Market
The San Francisco 49ers have signed Brian Hoyer and Matt Barkley this offseason while also being linked to a trade for Kirk Cousins.
Despite the two free agent signings at quarterback, the 49ers will continue to explore the market.
"We'll continue to look," Kyle Shanahan said Friday, per CSN Bay Area. "You rarely take just two guys into a camp. So I have a pretty good feeling we will add more. I don't know whether that'll be through free agency or the draft, but there's every avenue possible. We don't limit ourselves to anything."
The two signings are perhaps a signal the 49ers don't intend to use the second overall pick on a quarterback.

Myles Garrett 'Clinched' Browns' Decision To Take Him At No. 1
The strength of Myles Garrett's workout at the NFL combine and interview with the Cleveland Browns has "pretty much clinched their decision (to) take him at No. 1 unless something unforeseen happens between now and the draft."
Most personnel executives regard him as a franchise-changer, although one said he "has a chance to bust. His effort was very inconsistent this year."
The Browns have a need at quarterback but there isn't one in this draft that can compare to Garrett as a pass rusher.

Reuben Foster Sent Home From Combine
Reuben Foster, a potential top-10 pick in next month's NFL draft, was sent home from the Indianapolis scouting combine for a "heated altercation" he got into Friday with a hospital worker, according to multiple sources.
All one NFL spokesman would say was that Foster was being sent home for "personal reasons." He did not want to comment further.
Foster is the top-graded inside linebacker for many teams.
Foster was scheduled to fly home to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on Saturday.

John Ross was clocked at 4.22 seconds in the 40-yard dash, breaking Chris Johnson's previous record of 4.24.
Ross didn't exactly call his shot Friday, but he did tell those listening that his record-setting sprint was possible.
"Under 4.3 (seconds)," Ross told reporters. "That's what I plan to run."
The NFL confirmed Ross' official time of 4.22 seconds later Saturday.

49ers Impressed By DeShone Kizer's Interview
The San Francisco 49ers were incredibly impressed by DeShone Kizer in their interview.
"This whole thing is not just about an interview, but if you were grading him on that alone, he blew the doors off. He's an impressive young man, his film's very impressive," John Lynch said Thursday. "I think the same can be said for Deshaun Watson. You watch what he's done, just putting a team on his shoulders and taking down a great champion. (Mitch) Trubisky, (Patrick) Mahomes, I think it's a very talented draft class at that position, one we're very excited about."
The 49ers own the second overall pick and have a need at quarterback.
At 6-foot-4 1/2, 233 pounds, Kizer proved to be the biggest of the combine's QB prospects.
"Look, I don't think you need to be too transparent to realize that's a position we're looking at. We don't have any (quarterbacks), so that's a position that's a big focal point of our preparation right now," Lynch said.

Noka Closes Brokered Private Placement and Raises $784,299
Noka Resources Inc. has closed its brokered private placement announced in the company's news release of Aug. 9, 2013.
Macquarie Private Wealth Inc. acted as lead agent in connection with the brokered private placement of 5,228,660 units at a price of 15 cents per unit, which included an additional 228,660 units issued upon exercise by the agent of the overallotment option, to raise gross proceeds of $784,299.
Each unit consists of one common share of the company and one transferrable share purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable to acquire one additional common share of the company for a period of two years at a price of 20 cents per warrant share during the first year, and a price of 25 cents per warrant share during the second year.
The agent and its selling group received an aggregate cash commission equal to 9 per cent of the gross proceeds raised by the agent in the private placement. The agent and its selling group also received options entitling them to purchase common shares of the company equal to 9 per cent of the number of units sold by the agent exercisable at a price of 15 cents per common share for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the private placement.
The company also paid the agent a corporate finance fee and the agent's expenses in connection with the private placement.
The company intends to use the proceeds from the private placement to conduct further exploration on its Athabasca basin uranium properties and for general working capital.
All the securities issued under the private placement are subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities legislation.

Celtic Need New Striking Recruits Before Champions League Campaign
We haven't seen the back of June yet we already know Celtic's starting point in their journey to reach next season's lucrative Champions League group stages.
The Scottish champions have been paired up with Icelandic champs Stjarnan in the second qualifying round of the Champions League. Those ties will take place in the middle of July.
Celtic need to get it right this summer after they failed to make any real progress in Europe's elite competition last year. The fans and the board members will be desperate to see Ronny Deila's men to make it back to Europe's top table this term as that will see glamour ties return to Celtic Park and a huge cash windfall for the club's coffers.
But when you look at the Celtic first team squad, you cannot help but feel that they need strengthened in the forward departments.
Last year loanee John Guidetti had a great spell before Christmas but was disappointing after the turn of the year. The Swede won't be back this summer as he stated himself:
"I would start, but the day before the game he [Deila] said I would sit on the bench because I was not going to stay at the club, he said he would focus on the players who wanted to be there."
Finnish striker Teemu Pukki has also left the Glasgow side, after he made his loan switch to Brondby permanent. I doubt many in the Celtic support will be disappointed by that news.
The thought of Amido Balde and Hólmbert Friðjónsson coming back to Parkhead after average loan spells away from the Hoops won't make Ronny Deila's heart skip a beat either.
I'd imagine that between them Leigh Griffiths, Anthony Stokes and Stefan Šćepović will have enough firepower to see them past Stjarnan but the tie after that will be more complicated and you'd think Celtic will need a better standard of striker.
Question marks remain regarding the true qualities of Scepovic, he struggled to impress last season. Stokes has a pretty woeful European goalscoring record with the Hoops. While Griffiths still needs to prove himself at that level.
Going by recent news reports Deila and his board know getting a new striker is a priority as they've been linked with moves for Steven Fletcher, Jelle Vossen, Milan Djuric and Juan Delgado.
The quicker Celtic can land a new hitman the better, as it will help in their preparation for the final qualifying rounds.
In the past Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell has waited as long as possible before spending proper cash in the transfer market. He usually waits for Champions League qualification and the money that brings into the club.
But as last season showed us, sometimes waiting can lead to a big fall and failure. Surely Mr Lawwell and the rest of the Celtic board are now aware that they should probably speculate to accumulate this preseason.
They are in a very tough position. Everyone can see where they need to strengthen but buying a forward capable of doing a job in Europe has recently proven to be extremely problematic for the Hoops.
Names like the aforementioned Pukki, Balde and Friðjónsson join the likes of Morten Rasmussen and Mohamed Bangura as inadequate forwards brought in for decent money.
Those failures will add a heap of pressure on the scouting team as they will have been told not to mess up this time!
In the past Lawwell has moaned that his side need to wait as the richer sides in Europe conclude their business. The time may have come for Celtic to act more aggressively during this transfer window and to go after targets in a quicker fashion.
I understand that Celtic don't have a huge budget and that makes buying a ready-made striker a more difficult prospect. But alas failure to get any forward in before the next round of Champions League qualifiers could ultimately mean a second year in a row without proper Champions League football gracing Celtic Park.
That would be a huge blow for the clubs fans and the penny counting board!

Watch The Official 'Tully' Trailer With Charlize Theron Portraying An Exhausted Mother
In the newly released trailer of the upcoming comedy-drama Tully, Charlize Theron plays the part of an exhausted mother convincingly.
Directed by Academy Award-nominated director Jason Reitman (Up in the Air), Tully tackles the challenges of motherhood in a relatable and heartwarming movie.
The New 'Tully' Trailer
The new trailer for the movie shows Theron as Marlo, frazzled and exhausted as she juggles three kids including a newborn. A series of funny and painfully realistic scenes play onscreen, from accidentally waking the baby in the middle of the night to bursting into frustrated tears to Kids Say the Darndest Things moments at the dinner table.
"Mom, what's wrong with your body?" her young daughter asks in a horrified tone.
While Marlo is initially wary when her husband suggests a night nanny, she eventually caves and welcomes the charming Tully, played by Halt and Catch Fire's Mackenzie Davis, in her home. The two form a bond quickly as Tully helps the family beyond just nanny duties.
"Your 20s are great," Marlo says in a voiceover. "But then your 30s come around the corner like a garbage truck at 5 a.m."
With Tully, Theron joins forces again with Reitman and Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody following their first collaboration in Young Adult.
Reitman and Cody are also behind the critically acclaimed Juno. This time, they leave the teenage angst and growing pains behind for an honest film that empathizes with everyday and very human life of mothers everywhere.
Tully stars Theron, Davis, Mark Duplass, and Ron Livingston.
Critics, Charlize Theron On 'Tully'
Tully has received the thumbs up from most critics so far, with many praising the performances of Theron and Davis. It currently has a rating of 89 percent on Rotten Tomatoes
With two children, Theron has been through the struggles of being a mom, so she can appreciate the screenwriter and director's success in capturing it for the film.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, she describes Tully as "a very honest look at parenthood."
"I think we try and do it in a tone that's very Diablo Cody, so it's not crazy serious," Theron says. "We really make fun of a lot of that stuff, but I think through making fun and making light of it, it's actually almost more real and that's what I love about the movie. It's definitely not a glamorous look."
Tully comes out in theaters on April 20, 2018.

by Team Pocket52 | Nov 13, 2020 | Player Interview | 0 comments
The world of poker is full of extraordinary stories, one of them is that of 27-year old Himanshu Sahu from Kanpur, who shipped the Bluff Knight 50K GTD Freeroll at the Big Bluffing Hours. Himanshu's tryst with Poker began when he watched the movie 'Lucky You', and he got so intrigued with the game that he developed an immense passion for mastering it.
Many great men have said that if you really want to learn something then nothing can stop you, and there was no stopping Himanshu either as he turned to YouTube to learn the inner workings of the game and began religiously studying the finer details.
Soon enough, he started using his ever-evolving bluffing skills to try his hands at freerolls and before he knew it, he was on his way to becoming a full-fledged professional poker player playing mid-stakes poker tourneys.
As funny as it may sound, as a kid, Himanshu was one of those children who would fake a stomach ache to skip school, and once he was all grown up, he used the same bluffing skills to pacify his parents who were not so fond of poker by hiding inside his blanket and playing the game in the guise of sleeping. Even now, he actually sleeps for 3-4 hours before playing a game as it helps clear his mind and think better.
Himanshu's already won a whopping 30-35 lacs in prize money in the last 3 years with his skills, but he tells us that his greatest feat is yet to come as he wants to represent India in the World Series of Poker, and we wish him all the luck in the world.
On a personal front, Himanshu wants to play poker with Aamir Khan, travel the world, and make enough money so that he can fulfill his parent's dreams and keep them happy. We congratulate Himanshu Sahu on shipping last night's freeroll and wish him all the luck for the next round.
Himanshu Sahu is an icon in his own right, not only did he learn and master the game on his own, he sets an example for other poker players that where there's a will, there's a way and the only thing you need is love for the game!
