The Luxor Hotel And Casino In Las Vegas Is Not About Ancient Egypt Any Longer
Whenever the Luxor started on October 15, 1993 the striking monster structure was the tallest building in Las Vegas. This was a time once the evolution of casinos in Las Vegas relied on topics to differentiate themselves in the other person. The Steve Wynn hotel, Treasure Island, was based on a pirate theme and second incarnation of all MGM Grand (the first MGM Grand was that which is now known as Bally's) was about the movies, filled with a yellow brick road leading people through the hub of the casino floor. Even the Luxor, as the name implies, relied upon the early Egypt theme to tantalize it has guests. The replica of the Sphinx in front of the hotel, which also doubles as the porte cochere, greets visitors upon arrival. At the time there is a good Nile River ride, very similar to that which you could see in Epcot Center in Disneyworld.
Times and taste switch extremely fast from Las Vegas and today the Luxor is going through a HAPPYLUKE which promises to create a more sophisticated flavor and eliminate any sign that the hotel and casino are 18 years of age.
This is your RA Nightclub. RA was one among the first mega-nightclubs in Las Vegas. The Luxor has become home to the LAX Nightclub, also a branch of the Los Angeles hot spot. LAX is just a modern state of the art night-club covering two-stories along with 26,000 square feet. Since the team has been started in August 2007 it has developed a reputation for being a celebrity hangout. There's additionally Noir Bar, a private reservation required bar located within the nightclub. An adjoining bistro will soon be opening soon so you can eat, drink and play at a destination.
Although the Nile River ride is nolonger, the Luxor still has many entertainment offerings. The comedian Carrot Top offers his exceptional and somewhat perverted kind of entertainment 6-nights per week. Even the adults-only revue, Fantasy, offers singing, dance and of course, amazing girls. Something everyone can love is your ventriloquist Ronn Lucas and his puppets who play day shows 6-days per week. In 2008 the Luxor is likely to soon be home to just one more Cirque du Soleil production on the Las Vegas Strip. This production would have been a cooperation with magician Criss Angel and will be placed in the theater formerly occupied by the Blue Man Group.
Even the Luxor's parent organization, MGM MIRAGE is spending $300 million dollars in a bid to create the hotel in line with the more recent resorts and casinos on the Strip. Since the transformation continues there will be new restaurants added, new pubs and clubs and new entertainment options. And whilst the early Egypt theme slowly disappears during this renovation, it is beginning to look as the only mention to the older Luxor that'll remain is it's trademark 30-story Pyramid Tower.

"Today, we learned that 66 percent of rural adults would support a smokefree air law. These results are consistent with our findings in past polls we have conducted at both the state and local levels, and provide further evidence that Hoosiers are ready and waiting for Indiana to go smokefree in all public places.
"Indiana remains one of the only Midwest states to still allow smoking in public workplaces. Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa have all demonstrated a commitment to the health and wellness of their residents by enacting smokefree air laws. Each year, more than 1,200 Indiana adult nonsmokers die from exposure to secondhand smoke.
The Indiana Campaign for Smokefree Air is a statewide coalition comprised of national, state and local health, business, and faith-based organizations, as well as thousands of Indiana residents committed to protecting all workers from exposure to secondhand smoke by working toward the adoption of a comprehensive smokefree workplace law that covers ALL workplaces.

The Silent Bleed
The Superficial Siderosis charity
What is Superficial Siderosis?
News, articles and resources
A world first
When is a rare condition like Superficial Siderosis not so rare? When four people who live with it get together.
One of the biggest problems people with Superficial Siderosis face is meeting others with the same diagnosis. It's frustrating for carers and families too
- so being able to catch up now and again is priceless.
Every year, the Silent Bleed team get together to celebrate our charity registration anniversary but the date also falls around the birthday of our members, Paul. We were delighted this year that Roy and Barbara were able to join us from central England and Tommi from the other side of London. It meant we could photograph this line-up. A world first we believe.
It was also an invaluable opportunity for everyone to relax, mingle and catch up. We'll definitely be doing it again, so please keep checking in with our Facebook pages to find out more. Many thanks to Janice for your hard work.
If you're not near enough to London to join in, why not organise a meet of your own? Whether you're in the north of the UK or in the south of the US, we'll provide any help, support and publicity you need to help get a few people together. Wristbands, leaflets, space on the website, promotion on the Facebook page – you tell us what you need and we'll do what we can. Opening up about such a serious and life-changing condition is never easy but it becomes a little less difficult when you're amongst friends who understand.
Our Facebook group is a kind and compassionate space for people with superficial siderosis to share the ups and downs of everyday life - search 'superficial siderosis - the silent bleed' and send a request to join.
(c) The Silent Bleed 2019
Registered as a Charity in England and Wales since 2016
Text reproduction and sharing
The reason we exist is to make our voices heard about superficial siderosis, so please feel free use the text on this site as you need to - all we ask is that you clearly mention us as the source and that you drop us a donation. Please ask permission to use photographs because many of them feature our members and it's only fair to ask them first. Many thanks.

Melissa Merritt
Melissa understands change. In fact, she seems to thrive in it. Having worked with teams from West Africa to London, New York to Seattle, and many places in between, her vision of where an organization can go and how they can get there is invaluable to Waldron's clients. She's optimistic and unflappable, and her calm, centered approach makes her an ideal partner for riding the twists and turns inherent in transition without losing sight of the bigger picture. She's an expert in identifying the right leaders to catapult an organization where they need to go, and adept at understanding what Waldron's clients are striving to achieve. Co-workers describe her as "nurturing," clients call her a "class act," and one executive candidate who ended up not getting the job says the rejection letter he received from Melissa was the nicest he'd ever seen.
Melissa joined Waldron as an executive search consultant in 2008. She assumed the Principal role in 2017 and oversees service design and delivery, client relationship management, and executive searches with key foundations, start-up social enterprises, and NGOs. As a member of the leadership team, she shapes organizational strategy and lends her expertise in international settings to ensure Waldron identifies the right leaders to authentically represent some of our largest clients.
Prior to Waldron, Melissa spent nearly 20 years living and working in London, Paris, Hong Kong, and New York. She consulted with senior international executives transitioning to the U.S. with companies such as Microsoft and Russell Investments, and she spent 10 years leading international searches at Bird & Co, an executive search firm in London. Prior to Bird & Co, Melissa worked in the private sector as an international account director at multinational ad agencies representing global brands. She began her career working in New York and West Africa as a communications manager and program officer for a small NGO. Melissa holds a BA in French and Business from the University of Colorado.
When she's not nurturing her team or working with clients, Melissa is an active community volunteer and board member, serving with Global Washington, the Women's Funding Alliance, and others. Ask Melissa about her membership in Seattle Rotary and her role as founder of Women Leaders in Philanthropy and you'll quickly come to understand that Melissa brings a unique optimism to everything she does.
A self-professed recovering triathlete, Melissa cultivates her calm thoughtfulness snowshoeing on Blewitt Pass, swimming in open water, and exploring her local farmers market. She is a lifelong reader of biographies and her time in London instilled a love for the classics. Living in Bordeaux inspired a great appreciation for wine, though now stateside, she's traded champagne for prosecco and Bordeaux for malbec.

According to him, some restriction orders enforced by the state government in 14 local government to improve security situation will soon be reviewed.
Governor Tambuwal also stated some achievements of his administration since its inception.
The feats listed by him include provision of over 700 towns and villages with potable drinking water across the 23 local government areas.
This is in addition to 1.

Discussion in 'Life After Brown' started by DigitalCatalyst, Dec 1, 2005.
I was curious as to what other peoples goals are for this next year, and perhaps what our resolutions were for 2005 (and whether or not we kept them!).
For me, in 2005 I wanted to end the year working in my field, and get my business started. I am finally working , mostly as an independant contractor, as a computer technician. My business has been started, but I haven't allocated any funds towards advertising (this whole bill situation keeps coming up), but its started, and that was the goal.
In 2006 I want to make my business profitable, of course that will require advertising. In 2005 we had our first child, and since I'm not making enough money (and we STILL have bills), I'm now with Brown working the midnight shift so I can watch my kid during the day. I'm hardheaded and don't want to put her in daycare. I also want to have my AA in 2006 and resolve some financial issues, pay off some debts, and maybe get a social life.
I want to be moved into my new house by May 06. Take the kids to Disney in June. Grow stronger in my faith. Everything else is gravy.
We're moving out of our apartment early next year. Its more of a hope than a resolution, but I want to move into a house, or at least a residence I can count on living in for more than 12 months. It would be nice if my daughter had her own room too. Good luck on your resolutions.
1. Increase my exercise routine to 1 hour, 6 days a week.
2. Get back into doing volunteer work for community service organizations.
My present resolution will continue to be my 2006 resolution.......to keep that powdery white stuff out of my life as much as possible. No, I don't mean cocaine, I'm talking about sugar.
1>give up one of my vices, one a year......anymore than that would be too stressful and probably kill me.
2>Regress to a period in my life where I have time for my friends, email or write to at least one person per week.
3>Pay more attention to my husband, instead of spending too much time on the pc, in the 3 hrs I have to myself in the evening.
4>keep in touch with the family I have left.
5>make a budget and stick to it, that includes 2 vacas a year to see my grandchildren.
7>try to be nicer to people who dont even deserve it.
Exercise more, and avoid bad foods. I love eating good-tasting, but not-so-healthy foods... pizza, hot buttered toast, chocolate, pot pies... I need to become a veggie addict. And drink more water... I was having kidney problems because I was letting myself get dehydrated!
To cut back on my necroposting.
The resolution police are on your tail !! RUN !!


Wonderful second floor condominium in the Federal Fibre Mills. Spacious one bedroom unit overlooking saltwater pool and courtyard. Conveniently and walk-ably located in Warehouse District for easy access to shopping, galleries and restaurants. One parking space included.

In October 2014 CAARA established the "Royal Commission Working Group" (Working Group) to consider the complexities and issues relating to the joint Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse and to obtain CAARA member consensus on the custody and disposal of, and access to, these records.
Membership of the Working Group consists of representatives from the Commonwealth and all States and Territories.
Members of the Working Group in 2018 are:
Dani Wickman (ACT) – CAARA Executive Lead
Simon Froude (SA) – CAARA
Eric Swain (NAA – Chair)
Esther Carey (NAA – Secretariat)
Megan Robinson (ACT)
Anna Morris (Qld)
Kylie Good (Qld)
Jennifer Trafford (Qld)
Alison Drecharge (Qld)
Sharon Mennis (Qld)
Troy Pullen (Qld)
Linda Bell (NT)
Louise Paynter (NT)
Alison McNulty (Vic)
Samara Mcllroy (Tas)
Tony Leviston (SA)
Janine Silvestri (SA)
Martin Fordham (WA)
Lena Stekl (WA)
Angela McGing (NSW)
Catherine Robinson (NSW)
Tara Majoor (NSW)
Previous Chairs:
Linda Macfarlane (NAA)
Lauren Banks (NAA)
Between 2014 and 2018 the Working Group focussed on:
Determining primary custodian for records of the Royal Commission
Ensuring disposal coverage
Considering legislated access regimes
Considering potential for changes in ownership where materials gathered by the Royal Commission are passed on to State/Territory/Commonwealth authorities for further investigation.
Work with the Royal Commission on their recordkeeping requirements
During this time the Working Group was also asked or approved to take on responsibilities for:
Records of former joint Royal Commissions in the custody of the National Archives
Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption (requested by CAARA Aug 2015 but no action taken as negotiations were almost concluded)
A Statement of Principles outlining arrangements for records of future joint Royal Commissions.
Through that time the Working Group regularly reported to CAARA.
In 2018 CAARA approved expanding the Terms of Reference <insert link> for the Working Group, with the scope now incorporating:
Working on arrangements for records of former and future joint Royal Commissions, similar to those for the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse
Collaborating or sharing information on responding to recordkeeping related recommendations of joint Royal Commissions
Sharing information on single jurisdiction Royal Commissions particularly where there may be recordkeeping impacts for more than one jurisdiction..
The Working Group are also considering those recommendations made by the Royal Commission that relate to the management of records and information sharing.

Significance of Hollywood in Influencing Chinese Filmmaking since the 1980s.
Home Uncategorized Significance of Hollywood in Influencing Chinese Filmmaking since the 1980s.
Need help with my writing homework on Significance of Hollywood in Influencing Chinese Filmmaking since the 1980s. Write a 2750 word paper answering;
Cinema in China has been experiencing a series of institutional reformations since the mid-eighties to address the demands of the market created by the Chinese government (Zhang, 2012, p. 162). The consequence has been the devolution and commercialization of the film industry that had been previously subsidized by the state. Competition with blockbusters that had been imported for the local market share has inspired some of the filmmakers in China to turn to Hollywood as a source of inspiration. This has led to an imitation of the big-budget and high-tech entertainment ideas that are synonymous with Hollywood. The resultant increase in local entertainment fare has created countrywide romanticism among the cultural detractors as well as some industrial practitioners as they prefer a cinema that is characterized by more cultural importance. Filmmaking in China is therefore trapped between economic ambitions in order to capture the local market that is occupied by imports especially from Hollywood and cultural ambitions to create films that have Chinese physiognomies. The present tension between nationalism and commercialization is similar to the events of the development of the Chinese cinema between 1922 and 1931 when competition from Hollywood shadowed the local screens.
The irregular interaction between nationalism and commercialism is especially prominent during the periods when Hollywood dominates (Rojas and Chow, 2013, p. 554). In some instances hostile, while facing threats from Hollywood, nationalism supports the protection of China's cultural identity through safeguarding its domestic cultural market. Conversely, commercialization provides a strategic solution for regaining market share through the production of popular entertainment cinemas. When considered from this point of view, nationalism assists in justifying the growth of commercialization, but the latter ultimately motivates the rebirth of nationalism. This is the case of the first and most current entertainment cinema waves from China that is characterized by the vigorous interplay between nationalization and commercialization that is evident in its industrial practices and Chinese genres.

Secretary of Defense nominee Ashton B. Carter on his education and early career in theoretical physics. His Wikipedia entry says he did postdocs at Rockefeller University and MIT.
At Yale I ended up pursuing two entirely different majors – physics and medieval history. There was no relationship between them in my mind except that both fascinated me. I liked dusty archives, learning to decipher manuscripts in medieval script, and learning all the languages necessary to read the primary and secondary historical literature, especially Latin. I wrote a senior thesis on the use of Latin by contemporary monastic writers to describe the vibrant world of 12th century Flanders in which they lived. I also enjoyed English legal history and the foundations of the Common Law as established in the 11th through 13th centuries. I also did a lot of work on the hagiography of Saint Denis, patron saint of the French monarchy during its formative period in the 9th century.
As far as course choice was concerned, I had no interest in between the extremes of medieval history (history, language, philosophy) on the one hand, and science (physics, chemistry, mathematics) on the other. It may sound shocking to Kennedy School students, but I have taken exactly zero social science courses in my entire life. My arrogant view at the time was that life would eventually teach me political science, sociology, psychology, and even economics, but it would never teach me linear algebra or Latin. It seemed best to get my tuition's worth from the other topics and get my social science for free!
The end of college brought the usual crisis of what to do next. Such a bimodal distribution of training and interests made the problem more acute. The default solution was to go to medical school, since my father was a physician and I had worked in hospitals back in Philadelphia.
Fortunately, I was rescued from this dilemma by the awarding of a Rhodes scholarship, entitling me to free study at Oxford University. Many Rhodes scholars pursue a second Bachelors degree or a Masters degree at Oxford, but I was still a man in a hurry. I decided I would use the free funding to get my doctorate in theoretical physics. Oxford did not have enough money to have world class experimental facilities in elementary particle physics, but it had a great theoretical physics department. All you need for theoretical physics is a pencil and paper and the ability to sit for hours of intense concentration with a page of equations in front of you. I worked on the theory of quantum chromodynamics, the quantum field theory then postulated to explain the behavior of nuclear reactions and the structure of the sub-atomic zoo of particles. Unfortunately, it was a mathematical theory so complex that its equations could not be solved. I found a way to solve its equations in certain special circumstances, thus allowing it to be tested against experiments. Oxford was a very lively intellectual community. The expatriate Americans would spend long hours debating the topics of the day. Much of my otherwise lacking social science training occurred by osmosis in the pubs with Rhodes friends.
I had no doubt, however, that I wanted a career of thinking and writing in academia, then meaning theoretical physics. I therefore went back to the United States to start to climb the academic ladder in physics, beginning in the usual way with a postdoctoral appointment. I wrote several papers. The one of which I am proudest and which is still frequently cited, was on "time reversal invariance," the proposition that the world could run backwards according to the same laws by which it runs forwards. While this may seem like a bizarre question to ask, such a symmetry in nature, if it exists, is actually a very fundamental property of our universe.

I wrote a senior thesis on the use of Latin by contemporary monastic writers to describe the vibrant world of 12th century Flanders in which they lived.
Unfortunately, Dr. Carter's appointment will change nothing. The US is progressing down the same socialist path the Europeans travelled, and it will get the same result. An continually expanding welfare state will take resources from all other areas, especially the military, infrastructure and science. The Pax Americana is ending, and the Eurasian alliance of Russia and China will dominate the rest of the 21st Century. Sleep well.
Yes, we saw that with our physicist secretary of Energy. Result: tons of bad loans to crony "green" technology companies.
looks like a retard, but then so does steve.
physics is the easiest subject there is.

The American Mountain Guide Association's (AMGA) annual conference is to be held at the new Petzl Technical Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Oct. 22 to 24. More than 100 of America's top guides are expected to congregate at the 15,000-square-foot technical training center for the three-day summit, to discuss training and certification standards. Petzl, a family-owned French company whose North American subsidiary is located in Salt Lake City, opened the Petzl Technical Institute last year to promote the proper application of technical skills and to facilitate exchanges with guides from a variety of backgrounds. In addition to three classroom that can accommodate up to 135 people, the institutes boasts several installations for climbing. Petzl operates a similar training facility at its global headquarters in France.

Use the LinkedIn Headline filter to look for unassigned Presidents, VPs, or anyone in the C-Suite. This is of our favorite filters! These folks have self-identified high ranking (and likely highly paid) employees. Let's make sure you know about them and can assign them to your gift officers.
Use the "Lives in a Wealthy Neighborhood?" filter to use Zillow information and U.S. Census data to find constituents with capacity.
When working with development officers to plan trips, make use of the LinkedIn Location filter. By doing so, you'll be able to add anyone who has told LinkedIn they work in a certain city or region to your trip lists, even if your database doesn't have that information.
Take it to the next level: Layer in Facebook engagement with any of the above filters and prioritize research on your most-engaged constituents. The Oregon State University Foundation has found Facebook-engaged alumni are far more likely to respond to gift officer outreach.
Use the Facebook Likes filter to find constituents who have interacted with your Facebook content more than 25 times. These alumni are great social ambassadors and potential regional volunteers or career mentors. Use them to share posts, post about the school, and ask their friends to come to events, or get involved in other ways.
Create a segment that tracks constituents who have either reacted to five or most posts or commented on a post within the past year. Leading institutions (Cornell University is one of them) use this metric as a baseline measurement to track alumni who are engaged digitally with their alma mater. Add this information into your own engagement scoring system.
Use the Facebook Content Engagement filter to look for alumni who have engaged with certain keywords on your social channels, then use this information to segment your invitations to events both on and off-campus.
Copy-and-paste lists of event registrations into EverTrue to see which assigned prospects, top donors, or key volunteers are coming to your event. You can share this list with any other EverTrue user including gift officers and annual fund staff who will love this intel!
Take it to the next level: Layer in Facebook engagement with any of the above filters to see how often your most-engaged constituents are interacting with you online and what they care about most. The University at Buffalo uses this information to drive event attendance from disengaged alumni.
Let's look at your lapsed donors. Segment these folks out by class year or decade using Last Gift Date + Constituency + Graduation Year. These folks are your "low-hanging fruit." Organizing them by class year helps you take advantage of volunteer/class agent outreach to make sure you reacquire their gift this year.
Every annual giving team member should set up segments corresponding to their class assignments of donors (or reunion-year donors) who have given in the last week to see reports of who's given recently, speeding up the stewardship process.
Build segments to alert you when donations come in at your giving society levels to surface new high-capacity donors and steward existing ones. Even better, look for gifts that have come in just under the bar and connect with those donors, as well.
At the start of the year, build segments for each month that look like this: Last Gift Date = September of prior year. This will auto-populate lists for you to send annual renewal reminders to constituents.
Track LYBUNTs and SYBUNTS who have recently engaged on Facebook. You'll be able to easily see which former donors are currently thinking about your institution. Make it a habit to follow up regularly with a "renew your support" message to these engaged non-donors.
Take it to the next level: Layer in Facebook Content Engagement filters to segment your appeals based on donor interest for better response rates.

My favorite paper is not having a good day

Re: My favorite paper is not having a good day
1. Once or twice a week, The Record print edition puts the Main and Sports sections inside a 1.5-page overlay ad, where the top of the half front pages are copies of the real pages and line up perfectly with the actual front pages. Didn't quite line up today.
2. "phrase" - not "phase"
3. "too" - not "to" (how did they manage to get it right just 3 words later?)

1. Major screw-up here when the paper has no idea what country the president was in last Tuesday.
2. Lesser screw-ups here. The first one should be "Derek" and the second one is extremely obbbvious.

1&2. The error is in the second one, but because that enlargement cuts out most of the headline, I've included the full headline first.
It's another article about how Puerto Rico is still struggling because of Hurricane Maria. The problem is that the sub-headline says that the storm happened 7 months ago, while the first line of the second paragraph states - correctly - that it occurred 7 weeks ago. While I'm sure it must feel like 7 months ago to those affected, this mistake is just thoughtless.
3. If it's inspired by Gulen, then you have to use a hyphen: Gulen-inspired.
4. Speaking of hyphens, the underlined "word" is in dire need of one: male-centric.

From yesterday:
1. The QB's first name is Jameis - not James.
2. The caption on an almost-identical photo of McAdoo (see my November 8 post) said he was "reacting". Today, it's the dreaded "looks on". Both captions are uninformative, empty-headed and created without the benefit of a single brain cell.
3. They're "discussing a play"? Seriously?
4. The last letter of the last word in the last sentence of the last paragraph? SOOOOOOO close!
4a. If The Record wrote song titles...............

1. Wow! They actually remember that he was TALKING in this 18 year-old photo! And because he has a HEADSET on, he couldn't possibly be whistling, sucking on a lemon ball or grimacing as a Jets QB gets clotheslined. Remarkable!
2. Shouldn't there be a "to" after "close"?
3. "Everyday" is an adjective. It should read, "every day". An everyday activity is something you do every day.
4. This is the Jets' bye week............at least I thought it was. But according to the writer, it's their bye year because he says that the next game is on September 26 (OK - bye 10 months).
Absolutely sloppy!

Because I'll be out of commission for a while, this might be a good time to wrap this up. If "my favorite paper" doesn't get the point by now - and they clearly don't - they never will. Of course, if I see something in the future that's SO remarkably stupid, I reserve the right to share it with people who have at least a minor command of the language and its rules. Feel free to post any glaring miscues yourself.
Since I've already posted today's stumbles, I'll leave you with something that - while technically not incorrect - is something that the paper has been doing since the takeover that's SO lazy, limiting, annoying (and frequent), that I've been collecting them for for the last 3 weeks or so, just to see how many there would be and how often they resort to this cheap excuse for a story.
The answer is 22 (plus one bit of sarcomicastic relief). Unfortunately, I can only include 20 images in a post, so 3 were omitted.
If you want to write for The Record and your favorite number isn't 5, you're out, because everything can be explained, solved and used as filler through the magic of FIVE.
How else would you explain the over-dependence on this lazy tool?
Ready? (and why is there a period in the first one?............plus, they doubled-down on 5 in the last image on a topic that grips the heart and soul of every reader)

Over the past 2 months, The Record - especially the sports section - has gotten much better at spelling words correctly and cleaning up the myriad mistakes they CONSTANTLY made, though they are far from perfect (and they're still overdoing that annoying "5" thing I wrote about in the previous post).
After a few hiccups over the last couple of months, they're starting to slip again. Along with those hiccups, here are some of the other head-scratchers, ending with two stunning screwups this week:

Art Stapleton has been a good football writer for The Record for a long time. After the ownership changed, he appears to have been required to use this idiotic "5 things" in almost every one of his stories and it's REALLY annoying. I know this probably isn't his idea because it's all over the paper..........it must be a USA Today thing.
Speaking of "things", here are 16 sequential ones from Mr. Stapleton in the last 6 weeks (12 in just the last 4 weeks). The last one is from today and it's somewhat misleading.

Re: My favorite paper is not having a good day - TIMELY & USELESS
Binge-watching - the practice of watching multiple episodes of a television program in rapid succession, typically by means of DVDs or digital streaming.
This article doesn't recommend watching multiple episodes of a television program.......... it says to watch one episode of 5 different shows - hardly binge-watching and hardly worth taking up 80% of the front page of the entertainment (Better Living) section.

I have some pity for The Record, believe it or not. In order to have the level of copy-proofing that we saw as children and young adults, they would have to hire many more people, and that would not be economical. And these days, it's barely economical to run a newspaper at all, and they are folding one by one as readers gravitate towards other news sources, especially online sources. At least we have them as a news source, and at least they are no longer in Hackensack meddling with local matters.
Compared to what it once was, I pity The Record too, but I pity their readers much more. Have you read all the online vitriol against what they've done to this paper?
"Absolute garbage at this point. As bad as a handout. It appears Gannett, and the shameful people they've installed to run the operation, couldn't care less about the embarrassing product."
"It's a slap in the face to those of us who counted on The Record for so many years to bring us localized journalism."
"...riddled with typos. I mean, come on, an occasional error is one thing, but every day I see several and it is annoying. Isn't the business of editors to, well, to EDIT?!?"
"An example of the Record's crappy editing: I was reading about a football game last weekend. There was no final score in the headline or body of the article, just intermediate scores during a comeback scenario. Bush league."
Other complaints: local coverage is skimpy, more than half of the GOOD staff were let go and their content was replaced by articles from the Asbury Park Press, USA Today and other non-local sources, the print is much smaller, customer service has gone WAY downhill, they will not re-deliver if they missed you, the paper it's printed on has recently become very low-grade, and they're asking for large increases in the subscription rate for all these negatives.
There's actually not ONE thing I can think of that I could call an improvement since the takeover.
More sloppiness: in today's Record, whoever writes the photo captions doesn't know the difference between "photographs" and "photographers"...............TWICE in the same article.

Five years ago, I posted a blog on award-winning research showing that firms pay more and get less when hiring from the external labor market. The reason is that managers know more about their current employees, and they overestimate the value of external hires because they focus on their formal qualifications. When it comes to filling jobs internally in the organization, a manager still has to choose between placing a known worker into a job or posting the job and assessing applicants, who may or may not be familiar to the manager. With internal hiring, do managers still undervalue the workers they know?
Research in Administrative Science Quarterly by JR Keller answers that question. He looked at the difference in job performance and pay between jobs that were filled through posting and applying, and jobs that were filled through the manager picking someone (slotting). Managers could choose which way to fill each job, and naturally they used slotting when they knew someone who fit and posting when they were not so sure. This is the same as choosing between internal job mobility and the external job market, because managers pick internal candidates when they know someone who fits the job and hire externally when they are not so sure. They also have more candidates when posting, and they know less about the applicants because they are usually from other parts of the organization. In every way you can imagine, the choice between posting and slotting is similar to the choice between external and internal hiring.
So how wrong is it to fill an internal hire through posting instead of slotting? Here is the surprise: It is not worse to fill by posting, but better. Posting means higher job performance, both absolute and compared with others. It means lower chance of leaving the job, except for leaving for a promotion, which is more likely when filling through posting. Oh, and it also means higher pay for the employee filling the job. So, for the employee this looks like a good thing; more pay and better chance of a promotion. For the firm, it looks like paying more to get more, so the net effect depends on how much more the firm is getting. In this case the answer is easy because the lower turnover from the job alone shows that the firm benefits from using posting. The better job performance is icing on the cake.
But this raises the question of why markets work better inside an organization than outside it. What is it that the manager can see better when posting internally? The answer is, nearly everything. Organizations know a lot about their employees, and this knowledge is readily available when filling jobs through posting. Not only that, the posting process forces the hiring manager to think carefully about what information to use and how to weight it in the decision, giving a more systematic and higher quality choice. All the information is there, and posting gives more choices and a better choice process.
There is an important lesson in this that goes beyond filling positions. We often have beliefs about the benefit of markets relative to social arrangements like networks. We forget that there are many kinds of markets and many kinds of social arrangements, and ultimately decision making comes down to what to choose from and how to make the choice.

João Bastos OSE (Lisboa, Novembro, 1883 - 1957) foi um escritor com grande parte da sua obra mais conhecida constituída por peças teatrais e argumentos cinematográficos.

Biografia
João Bastos, nascido em Lisboa, em Novembro de 1883, foi um escritor encontrando-se o seu nome associado a algumas das melhores peças do teatro ligeiro português. Autor de fecundo e brilhante trabalho, no decurso de cerca de 40 anos de intensa atividade escreveu, sozinho e em parceria, mais de cem peças de todos os géneros, que obtiveram enorme sucesso junto do público e que causam, ainda hoje, admiração e boa disposição a todos quantos, com renovado prazer, têm a oportunidade de a elas assistir.

Da sua pena nasceram as peças "O Costa do Castelo", de que faz parte a famosa "Cantiga da Rua" , "A Menina da Rádio", "O Noivo das Caldas", "Varanda dos Rouxinóis", "O Menino da Luz" e "O Escorpião", entre muitas outras.

A partir de 1912 formou, com Ernesto Rodrigues e Félix Bermudes, aquela que ficou conhecida como a "Parceria de Lisboa", autora de revistas, operetas, fantasias e argumentos de enorme sucesso, como "O Leão da Estrela", "João Ratão", "Vida Nova", "Conde Barão", "O Amigo de Peniche", "De Capote e Lenço", etc.

Colaborou também com muitos outros escritores teatrais, entre os quais, Xavier da Silva, Álvaro Cabral, André Brun, Henrique Roldão, Bento de Faria, Luiz Galhardo, Alberto Barbosa, Xavier de Magalhães, Pereira Coelho, Hermano Neves, e Lino Ferreira.

Foi condecorado, em 27 de Julho de 1925, pelo Presidente da República Manuel Teixeira Gomes, com o grau de Oficial da Ordem Militar de Sant'lago da Espada. Participou, como sócio fundador, na constituição da Sociedade Portuguesa de Autores, de cujo Conselho Fiscal foi presidente de 1925 até 1937.

Em 1935, João Bastos partiu para o Brasil com o ator Procópio Ferreira, e aí teve larga atividade como adaptador, empresário, cronista na rádio, etc..

No dia 11 de Julho de 1970, a Câmara Municipal de Lisboa descerrou a placa toponímica que batiza uma das artérias desta cidade com o nome de Rua João Bastos.

I'm focused on developing and designing simple-to-use, human-centered websites. I believe in doing good work without rushing, working withinstead of for clients and putting quality over quantity. Currently working at Ström Creative Agency.


Today, the guys in the Goodreads Top 5 Wednesday group had a great topic: Characters I Wouldn't Want to Trade Places With!
Sebastien de Castell's Greatcoats series is one of my favorites of the moment. The Three Musketeer-like camaraderie between the main characters, the swashbuckling daring-do of its heroes, and the constant agony that Falcio endures is a delight to read about, BUT I don't ever want walk in Falcio's boots for a single minute: this guy's life is one long session in the torture chamber. I'm not going to get into spoilers, but trust me, this guy needs a run of good luck SOON.
Daniel Polansky's stunning tale of revenge with talking animals as our heroes and villains. And, I really mean it when I say stunning; it is probably one of the most engrossing novellas I have ever read, one which took me completely by surprise and kept me turning pages deep into the night. Even with that being said though, this isn't a tale where all the endings are happy. Nope, this is a story about justice and harsh reckoning, and as such, I have no desire to ever slip into any of these characters places and live through it.
I've grown to be a big fan of Mr. Remic's brand of grimdark; it combines brutal and graphic violence with humor. Naturally, from that description, you've probably already guessed the characters go through some fairly harrowing circumstances throughout their stories. That isn't half of it though. The heroes here are generally pretty despicable people to begin with, and after they go through hell and back, they are even more mentally screwed up than before. So, needless to say, I don't want any part of swapping bodies with any of these guys.
Michael R. Fletcher really flashed some amazing creativity with this exquisite tale of mayhem and magic. I mean, the whole damn world is one huge madhouse! Literally. Everyone here is crazy as hell. What makes it worse is that the more delusional you are the greater your magic, so you can bring your mad ravings to life by morphing reality around your madness. Which means everyone and everything might or might not be what they appear. And the characters all go through horrid, emotional trauma dealing with all this shite all the time. So, hell no, I don't want to go anywhere near these characters — outside of reading about them in the next book in the series.
We've read the books. We've watched the HBO series. We know that none of these guys are safe from episode to episode. And their fates have been pretty damn horrible when it has come upon them, so all of you understand my reluctance to switch places with any of these guys. I mean, what if I end up in a certain character's shoes before his/her date with torture or death. No, I can't take that chance, nor do I want to. George R.R. Martin's has written a legendary story so far, but he has also taught me I do not want to go anywhere near Westeros.
This entry was posted in Top Five Wednesday and tagged A Song of Ice and Fire, Andy Remic, beyond redemption, characters i don't want to trade places with, DANIEL POLANSKY, Falcio Val Mond, Game of Thrones, george r.r. martin, Greatcoats, Manifest Delusions, Michael R. Fletcher, Sebastien de Castell, The Blood Dragon Empire, The Builders, The Dragon Engine, The Iron Wolves, The Rage of Kings, Top 5 Wednesday, Twilight of the Dragons, westeros. Bookmark the permalink.
Before I even read your choices, I was thinking of Game of Thrones – I love the books and series but I would hate to be there!
A brilliant top 5 topic. I certainly won't want to be in GOT either!
For some reason I thought of Jorg when I saw the title of the post, but then I suppose Jorg is the one doing the horrible things most of the time!
Jorg did cross my mind, but for the reason you mentioned, I excluded him.
Nope, none of these characters have easy lives. At least Falcio has some great friends though!
True. He does go through some horrible personal trials though.
Still gotta read most of these, but I definitely agree with ASOIAF!
Living in any fantasy book would be rather dangerous with all the turmoil that these worlds usually suffer. If you had to choose one, it better be a good choice or else… That being said, any of the gritty worlds would be rife with lots of danger of all kinds.

Statement by Julian Assange on Bradley Manning
Statement by Julian Assange on behalf of WikiLeaks:
Today Bradley Manning reportedly made a statement of remorse in a sentencing hearing at Fort Meade, Maryland. Manning's statement comes towards the end of a court martial trial pursued with unprecedented prosecutorial zeal.
Since his arrest, Mr. Manning has been an emblem of courage and endurance in the face of adversity. He has resisted extraordinary pressure. He has been held in solitary confinement, stripped naked and subjected to cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment by the United States government. His constitutional right to a speedy trial has been ignored. He has sat for three years in pretrial detention, while the government assembled 141 witnesses and withheld thousands of documents from his lawyers.
The government has denied him the right to conduct a basic whistleblower defense. It overcharged him until he faced over a century in prison and barred all but a handful of his witnesses. He was denied the right at trial to argue that no harm was caused by his alleged actions. His defence team was pre-emptively banned from describing his intent or showing that his actions harmed no one.
Despite these obstacles, Mr. Manning and his defense team have fought at every step. Last month, he was eventually convicted of charges carrying up to 90 years of prison time. The US government admitted that his actions did not physically harm a single person, and he was acquitted of "aiding the enemy." His convictions solely relate to his alleged decision to inform the public of war crimes and systematic injustice.
But Mr. Manning's options have run out. The only currency this military court will take is Bradley Manning's humiliation. In light of this, Mr. Manning's forced decision to apologise to the US government in the hope of shaving a decade or more off his sentence must be regarded with compassion and understanding.
Mr. Manning's apology is a statement extorted from him under the overbearing weight of the United States military justice system. It took three years and millions of dollars to extract two minutes of tactical remorse from this brave soldier.
Bradley Manning's apology was extracted by force, but in a just court the US government would be apologizing to Bradley Manning. As over 100,000 signatories of his Nobel Peace Prize nomination attest, Bradley Manning has changed the world for the better. He remains a symbol of courage and humanitarian resistance.
Mr. Manning's apology shows that as far as his sentencing is concerned there are still decades to play for. Public pressure on Bradley Manning's military court must intensify in these final days before the sentencing decision against him is made.
WikiLeaks continues to support Bradley Manning, and will continue to campaign for his unconditional release.

"He broke the law-he is guilty" POTUS
"The only currency this military court will take is Bradley Manning's humiliation." This was quite clear at the very onset from his over 1,000 days in pretrial military detention.
Whatever Bradley Manning felt he had to say before judge does not diminish any contribution to the world his disclosures may have had. In fact it further illustrates what the government does to humiliate- crush any misguided "child" who brings embarrassment to its sacred standing.

Þrúgur is chestnut with a star and a snip. With her beautiful confirmation, she gives her rider a comfortable and good seat. She is willing under the rider, positive and forward. She has high leg action and takes long strides. Her gaits are clear beated and therefore easy to handle.
Þrúgur's trainer from the start has always been Jakob Svavar Sigurðsson. He started her under saddle and has trained her ever since.
When started under saddle she was quick to learn and although independent and proud she always accepted what was asked of her. Þrugur is well trained and knows all basic exercises in dressage.
Because of her great gait distribution, Þrúgur has the real potential of doing well both in sports- and gæðinga- competitions. With the right rider, we are sure she can reach the top level.
Furthermore, she has a very high score both for confirmation and rideability in her BLUP evaluation, she has one of the highest BLUP scores in the world! Combined with top class pedigree this makes her very well suitable for breeding. Her father Skýr from Skálakoti is one of Iceland's most famous stallions and was honored with 1. Prize for offsprings at Landsmot 2018.
Þrúgur is born and raised in the fields of our home Skálakot. All our horses are raised semi-wild, only handled once to twice a year for hoof trimming and deworming.

Chicago Metropolitan Area Planning (IL) – Inclusive Growth Analysis
Charged with linking transportation and land use planning in a 7-county region of northeastern Illinois, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) and its partners have a strong history of collaboration. Long-range planning efforts such as ON TO 2050, the region's current comprehensive plan that identified economically disconnected and disinvested areas and traded clusters, found renewed importance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Connecting residents in these areas—which were disproportionally impacted by the pandemic and associated upheaval—with employment opportunities became an essential part of the region's recovery efforts.
The Inclusive Growth Analysis builds on guiding principles identified in ON TO 2050, but with a focus on the intersection of traded sectors and equitable growth. Led by TIP Strategies, the planning process included a review of existing conditions in the region (consisting of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will Counties), outreach to selected stakeholders, and an extensive analysis of job quality and accessibility. Four traded clusters emerged as priorities: 1) transportation, distribution, and logistics; 2) electric vehicles and clean energy; 3) advanced manufacturing; and 4) agriculture, agriculture technology, and food processing. These clusters were selected due to their growth potential, applicability to the region and to individual counties, connection to quality jobs, and accessibility to economically disconnected populations. By concentrating on both economic competitiveness and economic mobility, the analysis also highlighted opportunities to coordinate regional economic development and COVID-19 recovery efforts in support of areas and populations most impacted by income loss, job changes, and business reductions and closings. Its flexible framework provides direction for CMAP and its partners while also being adaptable to the needs, challenges, and aspirations of individual counties and communities. As the Chicagoland region continues to move forward in the wake of the pandemic, recovery must reach people at all income levels and in all geographies to create more sustainable, equitable, long-term economic growth.
