Sixmilebridge Lotto Ticket Worth €1 Million
June 23, 2019	6,314 Views
Clare is home to Ireland's newest millionaire after a Lotto ticket worth €1 million was sold in Sixmilebridge.
The National Lottery is now appealing to its Lotto players in the Banner County to check their tickets after the top prize of €1 million was won on last night's Lotto Plus 1 draw (Saturday 22nd June).
The winning ticket was sold at Reddan's Store and Sixmilebridge Post Office in Sixmilebridge, Co Clare. Reddan's Store is no stranger to selling winning tickets as it sold a winning Lotto jackpot ticket worth €4,433,754 in July 2014, which was claimed by a Clare family.
Speaking on selling this winning ticket, Tony Reddan, owner of Reddan's Store said: "It's incredible to have sold another winning Lotto ticket worth a massive amount of money. I couldn't believe it when the National Lottery called last night and it's almost five years to the day since we sold the €4.4 million Lotto jackpot winning ticket! It is really good news for the town and I really do hope it is one of our local customers. I've no idea who the winner is – it isn't me even though I did win €3 on the Lotto draw last night! Best of luck to whoever it is."
This is the seventh Lotto Plus 1 top prize of €1 million to be won so far in 2019 and is the 13th prize exceeding €1 million won across all Lotto games this year. The winning Lotto Plus 1 numbers for last night's draw were: 16, 17, 27, 31, 32, 37 and the bonus number was 46.
A spokesperson for the National Lottery said: "Reddan's Store and Post Office sure is a lucky Lotto store after selling it's second winning ticket worth €1 million or more in five years. This ticketholder is the lucky 13th Lotto millionaire made this year alone. We are asking all our Clare Lotto players to check their tickets carefully and if you have won this life-changing €1 million be sure to sign the back of the ticket, put the ticket in a safe place and contact our prize claims team on 01 836 4444, and we will make arrangements for you to come to the National Lottery to collect your prize".
There was no winner of last night's Lotto jackpot of €3,256,662, which rolls to an estimated €3.5 million for next Wednesday's draw (26th June).
Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage and the Irish Language. In total more than €5.4 Billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 32 years ago. In 2018 alone, more than €227 million was raised; the equivalent of €620,000 a day in support for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.

The Motorola RAZR returns—the Droid RAZR, that is
by ben patterson | Oct 18, 2011 | news, phones
Remember the RAZR—the original must-have cell phone, which turned heads with its ultra-slim profile and cost upwards of $500 when it first came out six or seven years ago? (Has it really been that long?)
Well, the once-ubiquitous Motorola RAZR (indeed, the big carriers were handing RAZRs out for free near the end of the phone's long reign) is back, and it's thinner than even—so thin, in fact, that Motorola is billing it as the world's slimmest smartphone.
Running on the latest version of Android (2.3.5 "Gingerbread," to be precise), the new Droid RAZR boasts a turbo-charged processor (1.2 GHz dual-core, meaning two processors on a single chip for better speed and efficiency), dual HD cameras (one in back capable of shooting 1080p video, with a second HD lens in front for video chat), and a jumbo 4.3-inch display.
And here's a nice touch: "water-repellent nanocoating" for protection against "everyday spills."
Most impressive, though, is the RAZR's whisper-thin profile: a mere 7.1 mm at its thinnest point (the RAZR has a little speed bump-shaped ridge on its back panel back, near the top), versus 9.3 mm for the iPhone 4S. Weighing in at 4.47 ounces, the RAZR is also a bit lighter than the 4.9-ounce iPhone.
Related: iPhone or Android? 6 questions to ask yourself before deciding
Very nice, but don't expect the Motorola RAZR to beat the iPhone 4S in the price department. The 32GB RAZR will go on sale next month on Verizon Wireless for a relatively $299, with a new two-year contract—same as the 32GB iPhone 4S.
RAZR customers should also expect to cough up at least $30 a month in data fees to connect to Verizon's speedy 4G LTE network.
So, what do you think? Does the Droid RAZR look like a match for the iPhone 4S?

Don't you take it for granted that Wagashi is the sweet for women?
The truth is, if you look into the history of Wagashi you might notice that Wagashi, such as Kintsuba, Daihuku, sakura-mochi, or Imagawa-yaki were created to support men in Edo period.
Sugar permeating among common people was a contributing factor in the widespread popularity of Wagashi. Thanks to the policies by Tokugawa Yoshimitsu, they finally got around to replacing the expensive imported sugar with the cheap one made in Japan.
It was also when Kintsuba, Daihuku, sakura-mochi, and Imagawa-yaki were born.
Those Wagashi used to be sold at foot carts, purchased by mainly men.
Men accounted for the majority of population in Edo (current Tokyo). It is because numerous men had to go to Edo in the process of *Sankin-Kotai. They had no choice but grab a bite to eat at food carts because it was prohibited for craftspersons or merchants to make meal on their own at Nagaya(long shared house). Heavy digesting slows them down, so they eat small amount of food for many times a day.
This kind of style was embraced by a lot of hasty Edo men.
Once you get to know the history of those sweets there is no wonder all of Wagashi born in Edo period- Kintsuba, Daihuku, Sakura-mochi, or Imagawa-yaki- are efficient food to gain essential nutrients and energies in a short time.
I found it interesting that those energetic sweets made for men established the current Wagashi, which I love enough to want to eat every day. There are two ways of enjoying Wagashi. You can eat them luxuriously in a special time, along with green tea or you can eat them to gain energy and cheer you up when you fee down. That's why you feel satisfied when you eat Wagashi.
*Sankin-kotai … It was a policy of Tokugawa. He made all major feudal lords make frequent travel to Edo in order to strengthen central control and restrict their lavish lifestyle.


Our children love making their own choices. Give your daughter this joyful option and challenge her creativity! The grey cotton pinafore dress can be worn with the colorful accessory attached or not, on the yellow side or on the pink side or… You will see, there's more to it.

The University Held Reopening Ceremony of KU History Exhibition Room
HOME Hot people spotlight KU
김은서 기자
KU held the Reopening Ceremony of KU History Exhibition Room at Hanma Mirae-gwan on February 18th, 2021, under the theme of "The spirit of Hanma has created a new horizon to the history of Korean universities." On the wall of the newly renovated KU History Exhibition Room were installed a lot of panels to show the 75-year history of KU at a glance. In particular, the panels show various historical records detailing KU's efforts to lead the growth in the fields such as politics, economy, society, and culture in the community as a cradle for fostering local talent. They also express the images of KU, which has led to peace on the Korean Peninsula and global discourse by establishing the Institute for Far Eastern Studies (IFES) and the University of North Korean Studies. Many prominent and authoritative people attended the event: President Park Jae kyu, Former Museum Director Lee Jongheup, Chairman of the Faculty Council Im Hyeong-jun, Chairman of the Staff Council Im Pan-ho, and President of the Student Council Kim Gi-hyeon. Naturally, the event was held in strict compliance with quarantine rules. Since its opening in 1976 for research, education, and community service, the KU Museum has consistently achieved the discovery of cultural properties and research. Then, it moved to Hanma Miraegwan with the latest facilities in 2008 to operate various exhibition rooms, sharing high-quality cultural resources with local residents and school members. It was formally registered as a museum which belongs to Gyeongsangnam-do in January 2006. It has also contributed to the development of local culture through continuous excavation surveys and local cultural studies in Gyeongsangnam-do.
● Museum collections Some of the Korean cultural properties in the Terauchi Collection of KU Museum are valuable enough to be regarded as historical events in that the properties forcibly transported overseas during the Japanese colonial era were retrieved by civilian efforts. It also keeps a variety of artifacts, including the Giwoncheop by Yu Han-Ji designated as Treasure No. 1682. KU Museum retrieved one scroll and 135 volumes of ninety-eight different book titles of collections from the Terauchi Collection in the Yamaguchi Prefectural University (then Yamaguchi Women's University) through sisterhood relationships and academic exchanges. Thecollections are currently housed in the Terauchi Collection Exhibition Room in the KU Museum. The Terauchi Collection is a private library that Terauchi Masatake, Governor-General of Joseon at the time of Japanese colonial era, looted Korean cultural properties from 1910 to 1915 and stored them in Japan.
● Until the Terauchi Collection Revealed The Terauchi Collection became widely known by a retired civil servant, Lee Jongyeong in 1990. During his kinship meeting, he came across an article in the monthly magazine Seo Yeji that two handwritten texts by his ancestor, Haengchon Leeam, were kept in the Terauchi Collection. In response, Lee Jong-yeong went to Japan to confirm the existence of the Terauchi Collection. He could also find that huge numbers of handwritten texts related to Korea were preserved there. After returning to Korea, Lee Jong-yeong reported this to Park Yeong-seok, chairman of the National History Compilation Committee at the time. Upon hearing the news, Park Yeong-seok and other officials attempted to take back Korean cultural properties officially through the KoreaJapan Parliamentarians' Union (KJPU) of the National Assembly and the KoreaJapan Friendship Association. Until then, however, it was hard to find an instance of returning cultural properties that had been taken out from anywhere in the world. Due to this, the return work was difficult. Just in time, KU was about to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 1996. Authorities of KU, including President Park, were having an interest in Korean cultural properties that were leaked overseas as part of the anniversary. Therefore, they decided to explore Korean relics located in Japan. Finally, President Park and his party met a member of the KJPU at Narita Airport in Japan in 1995 and heard the circumstances. KU decided to pursue the project as a means of private academic exchanges with the help of the KJPU and the Korea-Japan Friendship Association. KU negotiated with Yamaguchi Prefectural University to retrieve the Terauchi Collection. As a result, on November 11, 1995, the two universities held a ceremony to sign a memorandum to transfer part of Yamaguchi Prefectural University's Terauchi Collection to KU to promote academic exchanges. Finally, all the relics listed on the memorandum were returned to their homeland, Korea after 80 years. The Terauchi Collection was designated as Gyeongsangnam-do tangible cultural property No. 509 in 2010. KU's effort to take back the Terauchi Collection is significant in that it sets a precedent for the recovery of Korean cultural properties leaked out of the country. In addition, it provides a good opportunity to contribute a lot to academic and relational exchanges between the nations.

Our social media appearances
Data processing through social networks
We maintain publicly available profiles in social networks. The individual social networks we use can be found below.
Social networks such as Facebook, Google+ etc. can generally analyse your user behaviour comprehensively if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or banner ads). When you visit our social media pages, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. In detail:
If you are logged in to your social media account and visit our social media page, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which their preferences and interests are stored. This way you can see interest-based advertising inside and outside of your social media presence. If you have an account with the social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on any device you are logged in to or have logged in to.
Please also note that we cannot retrace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policy of the respective social media portals.
Our social media appearances should ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on divergent legal bases to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
Responsibility and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g., Facebook), we, together with the operator of the social media platform, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can in principle protect your rights (information, correction, deletion, limitation of processing, data portability and complaint) vis-à-vis us as well as vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. Facebook).
Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are determined by the company policy of the respective provider.
Storage time
The data collected directly from us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for their storage lapses, you ask us to delete it, you revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no control over the storage duration of your data that are stored by the social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please contact the social network operators directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).

Established in 2000, the Northern Climate ExChange partners with communities, industry, First Nations, academics and government leaders to explore and respond to climate change impacts on northern communities and their infrastructure.
We develop research questions in collaboration with communities and governments, implement research projects, and share our results with organizations across the circumpolar North. Our research has been used across Canada's North to guide adaptation to climate change impacts.
We partner with many different organizations across Canada's North. We have supported Government of Yukon's action to mitigate hazards along the territorial highways, the Yukon Energy Corporation in their efforts to ensure hydro-security, and several First Nations in their work to encourage use of traditional knowledge and respond to a changing climate.
Our researchers work with government employees to bring conversations about climate change into everyday decision-making. This is done through courses, and working with government to integrate climate change plans into development assessment.

Das Hotel Zum Bär ist ein traditionsreiches Hotel in der Stadt Quedlinburg in Sachsen-Anhalt.

Lage
Die denkmalgeschützten Hotelgebäude befinden sich an der Ostseite des Quedlinburger Marktplatzes, an der Adresse Markt 8/9 und ist im Quedlinburger Denkmalverzeichnis als Gasthof eingetragen.

Architektur und Geschichte
Das viergeschossige Gebäude entstand im Jahr 1748 in der Zeit des Barock in massiver Bauweise. Der Hotelbetrieb selbst ist jedoch älter und wurde erstmals 1618 erwähnt. Die Gliederung der Fassade ist streng gehalten. Bedeckt wird das Haus von einem Mansarddach. Die im nördlichen Teil des Hauses befindliche Tordurchfahrt wies eine als einzigartig beschriebene Wandvertäfelung in klassizistischen Stil auf, die an der Decke als in Gewölbeform gearbeitet war. Bei Umbauarbeiten im Jahr 1997 wurde die Wandvertäfelung jedoch entfernt. In der ehemaligen Tordurchfahrt ist jetzt das Marktcafé untergebracht. Bemerkenswert ist das schmiedeeiserne Hauszeichen oberhalb der Durchfahrt. Die Tafel zeigt einen Bären in einer Bandelwerkumrahmung und stammt aus dem Jahr 1798. Auch die ursprünglich vorhandene historische Bebauung des Hofs ist nicht erhalten. Das Hinterhaus stammte aus der zweiten Hälfte des 16. Jahrhunderts. Es war mit figürlichen Schnitzereien an den Fußwinkelhölzern versehen. Der sich entlang der Straße Pölle ziehende Flügel wurde 1920 abgerissen. Teile der Schnitzereien wurden geborgen und befinden sich im Museum. Am Haus Markt 9 soll sich am Obergeschoss ein Erker mit darin eingebauter Bohlenstube befunden haben.

Südlich des Barockgebäudes entstand um 1840 ein dreigeschossiger Erweiterungsbau für das Hotel. Dieses Haus wurde in Fachwerkbauweise errichtet, wobei die Fassade jedoch verputzt ist.

1834 wurde der spätere Dichter Julius Wolff im Gebäude geboren. Eine am südlichen Erweiterungsbau angebrachte Gedenktafel erinnert hieran. Bekannte Gäste des Hotels waren Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Heinrich Heine und Theodor Fontane, die jeweils im Zusammenhang mit ihren Harzreisen Quartier im Hotel Zum Bären bezogen.

Unfortunately, Oxford Home Schooling are not currently enrolling for the Religious Studies GCSE.
The previous syllabus for the Religious Studies GCSE expired after the examination sitting of Summer 2017. As soon as we have details of the new syllabus, this page will be updated accordingly. You may still find it useful to review the information for this previous syllabus on this page.
Religious Studies Specification B Ethics, Philosophy and Religion in Society, 4055, is assessed by a modular exam comprising two Units which may be taken separately or together.
This course was examined for the last time in June 2017.
At Oxford Home Schooling we have selected Unit 1: 'Religion and Citizenship', and Unit 6: 'Worship and Key Beliefs' from the six possible units of study available in the AQA specification as the basis for our GCSE Religious Studies course.
In Unit 1, students study five topics and may focus on one or two religions from a choice of six: Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Sikhism.
In Unit 6 there are again five topics; students study each of these with reference to two religions. They may opt for the same two religions throughout the Unit, or study two different religions (out of the six named above) in relation to each topic.
In the exam, students must answer questions on five out of the six topics included in each Unit of the specification. As the Oxford Home Schooling course includes five topics for study in each unit, in order to gain the most benefit from the course, students should answer questions on these topics and ignore questions based on the sixth topic which they will not have studied as part of their course.
Please refer to the Course Introduction, available from this page, for further details of the course.

Itinerary in details:
Day 0 Travelling by flight to Siem Reap from various cities in India.
Day 1 Arrival – Siem Reap – Angkor National Museum
Arrive at Siem Reap. We will facilitate Airport Transfer to the hotel. For Chennai guests, Indian Architect who is leading the trip would accompany.
Soon after checking in and freshening up, we will travel to Angkor National Museum known as the grand entrance to a world-class heritage that reveals the glory of Angkor Civilization. This museum enhances the cultural heritage of the Golden Era of Khmer Kingdom through amassed collection of invaluable artifacts and through state of the art multimedia technology exhibition for a full picturesque legendary story.
Later in the evening, we will see spectacular Apsara Dance show at a Restaurant with Dinner. For those travelers thirsting for cultural highlights of Cambodia, no visit to Cambodia is complete without witnessing at least one traditional Khmer dance performance, often referred to as 'Apsara Dance' after one of the most popular Classical dance pieces. Traditional Khmer dance better described as 'dance-drama' in that the dances are not merely dance but also meant to convey a story or message.
We will go back to the hotel for the overnight stay..
Day 2: Angkor Wat & Angkor Thom & Ta Prohm (Meal: Breakfast)
We start early to see sunrise at the Mother of all temples, Angkor Wat. Believed to be the world's largest religious building, this temple is the perfect fusion of symbolism and symmetry and a source of pride and strength to all Khmers.
Then we will drive to Angkor Thom that was the masterpiece of King Jayavarman VII. Following the occupation of Angkor by the Chams from 1177 to 1181, the new king decided to build an impregnable fortress at the heart of his empire.
We will visit Bayon Temple. At the exact center of Angkor Thom, this is an eccentric expression of the creative genius and inflated ego of Cambodia's most celebrated king. Its 54 towers are each topped off with the four faces of Avalokiteshvara (Buddha of Compassion), which bear more than a passing resemblance to the king himself.
We will continue our journey to view Terrace of the Leper King. Along the Terrace of Elephants, originally used as a viewing gallery for the king to preside over parades, performances and traditional sports. At the southern end lies the Baphuon, once of the most beautiful temples at Angkor, dating from the reign of Uditayavarman 1 in the 11th century.
We will then visit Ta Prohm "Tomb Raider" fame. Ta Prohm has been abandoned to the elements, a reminder that while empires rise and fall, the riotous power of nature marches on, oblivious to the dramas of human history.
In the evening, we will take a relaxed walk around busy Pub street or shopping at Angkor Night Market. Lunch & Dinner not included. Overnight in Siem Reap.
Day 3: Phnom Kulen The River of a Thousand Lingas – Phnom Penh (Meal: Breakfast)
We'll drive 48 kms North of Siem Reap to visit the holy Kulen Mountains, also referred to as Phnom Kulen ("Mountain of the Lychees") by locals. The sandstone from this mountain was the main supplier of construction materials for the Angkor Kingdom. We'll stop at the sacred site of The River of a Thousand Lingas, which features hundreds of lingas carved in the sandstone bed of the river, which date back to the 9th century. Further downstream, large blocks of stone, also under water, are carved with Apsaras dancers and Vishnu figures. Next on the agenda is a wander around the mountain-top pagoda which is home to relics, statues and a large reclining Buddha. The last mountain stop will be Kulen Waterfall, featuring a natural pool which is the perfect place to cool off on a hot day and a great picnic spot too, so that's what we'll do.
Evening session would be filled with the historic moments at the War Museum to know about the hidden secrets of East Asian Wars.
Lunch & Dinner not included. Overnight stay at Seam Reap.

You are here: Blog / Notes on writing and drawing / THE GATES OF PARADISE AS A COMIC
THE GATES OF PARADISE AS A COMIC
Ever since I saw this bit from Art Spiegelman's PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG %@?*! where his mentor Ken Jacobs tells a young Art to just think of paintings "as giant comic panels," I've had a new eye towards paintings and all kinds of visual art. I spent a good part of our recent visit to the Art Institue of Chicago thinking, comic…comic…comics!
When I was 20, I had the good fortune to study renaissance art in Florence, Italy for a few summer months. My teacher was Kevin Murphy, an expert on Italian Renaissance Art who teaches at the British Institute of Florence. (His other claim to fame is giving art tours to Mel Gibson whenever Mel's in town.)
Florence has been my favorite city in the world ever since. (And consequently, Meghan's, too.)
So I was really excited to hear that three of the newly restored panels from Ghiberti's "Gates of Paradise" are going to be at the Met while we're on our honeymoon in New York.
The "Gates of Paradise," are actually gilded bronze panels on the door to the Battistero di San Giovanni in the Piazza del Duomo:
Their 10 panels depict scenes from the Old Testament, intricately illustrated in high and low relief. When the three-ton, 20-foot-tall doors were completed, in 1452, Michelangelo pronounced them grand enough to adorn the entrance to paradise, and so they became known as "The Gates of Paradise." They have for centuries been considered one of the masterpieces of Western art.
Of course, it's impossible for me to not look at those panels and think, "A huge comic!"
The individual panels themselves have a really interesting art history lesson to tell. See, in medieval times, before the invention of perspective, individual figures were compartmentalized into boxes, sized according to importance, and depth of field was weakly displayed by overlapping. With the adaptation of perspective technique, all of the sudden artists were able to fake the illusion of depth, and squeeze several different figures into the same scene.
Now here's the bizarre part, courtesy of my old textbook, A. Richard Turner's Renaissance Art:
We assume that a represented fictive space will contain narrative events understood to be happening simultaneously. For instance, a picture may show several events, say a friar preaching, a man leading a train of donkeys across a square, a fishmonger purveying his wares. We do not necessarily assume that these events have any narrative connection with one another, but because they occupy a common space, we assume they are happening at the same time.
Take a look at the "Isaac" panel from "The Gates":
At first glance, it looks like a single moment frozen in time, right? Lots of people standing around.
But that's not what the viewer of the fifteenth century saw, or what the artist intended! What you're really looking at is the sequence of a story (Isaac's unintentional blessing of Jacob) spread out across one compositional field, or panel. When you understand the story, the panel can be read sequentially:
Perspective, in this case, isn't just used to fake the illusion of depth and space: it's actually used as a storytelling device. So if you look at The Gates as a comic, each panel doesn't represent a moment of a story, it represents a complete story in itself, and the panels together tell a bigger story.
For some reason, this really blows my mind.
To see more really cool pictures of "The Gates," check out this site.

There's a lot of love in the tiny, in-between moments of our every day, and they shouldn't be lost with time.
As your photographer, I freeze the raw, honest, and unpredictable moments of your lives so they can live on and tell your beautiful story. Whether you're interested in capturing the love on your wedding day, sweet and unfiltered family moments, or you want to document a wild (or tame!) adventure, I've got you covered.
A good time. It's so important to me that you enjoy being in front of the camera so much that you forget that you're even in front of the camera.
A Natural and comfortable approach. I'll offer prompts and gentle direction here and there, but we'll steer clear of any unnatural or stiff posing to get a real-life look into your life with your loves, simply living and loving.
I'm currently based in Georgia full time, but have limited availability in Maine. Travel is always welcomed! (read: please give me an excuse to travel!) Fun fact: I'm always up for an adventure (see below).
and i'm so excited to connect with you! for the time being, here is a quick look into some of the things that make me 'me'.

They need to raise the UP over the LOSSAN/BNSF main with a grade separation, and down into Los Nietos. I have been surprised that there have not been more "rail-rail" congestion related problems here. There are just not the volumes of SP era haulers and ore trains that used to cross this sometimes hourly, but with present and future BNSF and LOSSAN train volumes, it is still needed, especially if a 110 mph. "HSR" speed.
This level of HS LOSSAN and ML service is doable here. Grade separation of the rail lines does have clearance issues with the freeway bridges. The connection to the port here is out of service as this routing to the ports has been replaced by the Alameda Corridor, so you only have to worry about getting over to Lost Nuts. This is something that should be considered as part of "alternatives analysis" in an integrated plan to grade separate the whole segment of this corridor (add as much 4 track as possible). Which will likely be way less costly than what has been proposed by the latest CHSRA plan recently presented.
The CHSRA is currently wasting millions of taxpayer dollars in consultant studies on this segment, for the "so-called" LA-Anaheim CAHSRA fiasco. They just got crucified in the press for coming up with a plan that is not going to fully grade the whole corridor, but only "their" tracks.

Business intelligence platforms can help enterprises analyze data from various sources to inform decision-making. The six free tools highlighted here are among the best and most popular today.
Business intelligence (BI) software is designed to help enterprises discover and visualize their data to drive better business outcomes. These widely deployed applications come in various forms, including high-priced offerings, but many businesses are well served by free services that incorporate most of the key features organizations need.
There are many factors and options to consider when evaluating BI tools because some are better suited to particular uses, while others require more extensive coding skills or a background in data science.
We've reviewed dozens of providers to identify the best free BI software on the market today. After weighing their strengths and limitations, studying reviews by industry leaders and analyzing rankings from various research firms, we've selected the following six apps (presented in alphabetical order) to help you find the solution that's best for you.
BIRT is an open source business intelligence platform that has been downloaded more than 12 million times and is supported by more than 2.5 million developers from at least 157 countries, according to the Eclipse Foundation, a non-profit consortium of software vendors that supports the project. The BIRT dashboard can create various reports that visualize data and accomplish more advanced tasks such as grouping on sums and percentages of overall tools. Other reporting features include lists, charts, crosstabs, letters and documents and compound reports.
BIRT, which is used by industry stalwarts like Cisco and IBM, can also be embedded in many other business applications to extend the capabilities of BIRT's report engine and charting engine within applications that use Java. BIRT requires extensive coding skills so organizations that don't have those resources might be better served by another app.
Google Analytics, it should come as no surprise, is one of the most popular business intelligence platforms on the market today. More than half of all websites use the service, including about 70 percent of the top 10,000 sites, according to various firms that track online software usage. The cloud-based app features various visualization methods and creates data summaries in interactive dashboards. The service is especially powerful for companies that specialize in marketing or advertising and are particularly interested in tracking click-throughs and other visitor metrics to determine what content is performing above and below objectives.
Core features of Google Analytics include data collection and management (collection APIs, tag management, configuration APIs, custom variables, data import and user access controls); data analysis, visualization and reporting (data access, filtering and manipulation, funnel analysis, mobile-app reporting, real-time reporting, segmentation and user flow reporting); and data activation (audience demographics, intelligence and anomaly detection, multi-touch attribution, predictive analytics, publisher integrations, remarketing integrations and app notifications).
Thanks to a massive and sustained advertising campaign, IBM Watson Analytics is one of the most well-known business intelligence programs on the market. The free version of IBM Watson Analytics features a full range of self-service analytics, including access to data refinement and warehousing services. The platform is driven by a powerful analytics engine combined with natural language processing capabilities that make business intelligence customizable and easy to learn.
The smart assistant can help businesses and professionals from various disciplines and with a variety of skill sets, including those with data science and data visualization skill sets. IBM Watson Analytics can also help users discover insights, predict outcomes, visualize results, create reports and collaborate with others. Watson Analytics Free Edition only supports flat files with no more than 100,000 rows and 50 columns. It is also limited to a total data storage of 500 MB.
Jaspersoft offers five of its open source programs for free via a community program. JasperReports Server, the most popular and feature-rich of the programs, is a standalone and embeddable application that provides reporting and analytics for enterprises. The software includes extensive database support, flexible server architecture, centralized reporting and analytics, secured data access and auditing, and online analytical processing analysis across multiple attributes and time periods.
Tibco, an infrastructure software vendor that acquired Jaspersoft in 2014, boasts an impressive list of customers, including Time Warner Cable, the government of British Columbia, Groupon and Vanderbilt University. Other free community editions of Jaspersoft include JasperReports Library, Jaspersoft ETL, Jaspersoft Studio and Visualize.JS.
Microsoft also provides a free version of its business intelligence program, Power BI Desktop, which includes up to 1 GB of data storage and 10,000 rows of data per hour. The cloud-based analytics service is designed for non-technical professionals who want to keep tabs on their business by exploring data more deeply through interactive visual reports, built-in connectors and reports from a wide variety of sources.
Microsoft Power BI features dozens of data connectors so users can incorporate information from various sources into their queries. The platform also empowers businesses to transform CSV data and Excel spreadsheets into visually appealing reports that can be shared with others or published online. Finally, Microsoft Power BI features an impressive number of customizable visualizations so users can arrange data in all types of charts, from bubbles to table heatmaps, tornado charts, aster plots, histograms, cards and more.
Qlik offers free versions of three of its most robust programs — QlikView Personal, Qlik Sense Desktop and Qlik Sense Cloud. The personal, or free editions, are best for solo use because collaboration and sharing is limited, but they have many of the same core functions as the full versions. QlikView is designed to help businesses consolidate data from multiple sources, explore associations in the data, visualize the results and discover insights that can lead to better decisions.
Qlik Sense enables professionals to create personalized visualizations, reports and dashboards in a drag-and-drop interface. The platform also features data compression, a rarity in business intelligence software, that can compress in-memory data to a tenth of its initial size so users can complete operations faster.
