You Hate My Job
Paparazzi photographer caught in the act!

Giles Harrison has been a celebrity photographer for 17 years. He studied journalism at California State Northridge before dipping his toe into the paparazzi life. He is now the founder and head of London Entertainment Group, a photo agency that has photographers in New York, Miami, Las Vegas, Jamaica, London, Philadelphia, Canada and France. The company syndicates over 1,000 images each month.
We followed him around for our series, "You Hate My Job". Here's what he told us about the biz:
11 things we learned from Harrison:
1) Paparazzi photographers love Jamba Juice. Jamba Juice is like a light bulb to a moth for celebrities, so Harrison often scopes them out. He also jokes that celebrities whose photos aren't worth much are colloquially referred to as "Jamba Juice money" in the paparazzi biz (looking at you, Zach Galifianakis.)
2) Dylan McDermott works out in jeans. (Watch the video above for proof!)
3) Kanye West believes paparazzi photographers are better seen than heard. In fact, he'd prefer neither: "Kanye West comes over to the photographers and says, 'You know what? Don't speak to me now, don't speak to me ever,'" Harrison says. "Well, I'm sorry, that's not the way of the world. You can't sit there and order everybody, 'Don't say a word to me ever.' It doesn't work like that."
4) Obviously, a parazzi photographer can make good money. Why else would they do it? But we didn't know how much. Harrison says he makes something in the range of "high six figures" running his agency.
5) It's not all about the big shot — it's about sets of photos. Harrison says he made over $150,000 on a series he took of Prince Harry outside of a Venice Beach restaurant. It was just after those naked pictures of him partying came out. Harrison keeps the rights to his photos, and can sell them to different publications for years. He's made up to $250,000 on one set.
6) New York and L.A. paparazzi have a coastal beef. "New York is a whole different thing, because celebrities can't get away from it," Harrison says they all get a bad name, "when you have the New York paparazzi calling Suri Cruise a brat because she doesn't want her photo taken."
7) The paparazzi minor leagues can be tough. "When I first started in this business, I was making $50 a day and 25 percent commission. To make matters worse, that $50 was being taken out of my commission," Harrison says. "Then I got to the point where I was making more money than I could spend, and I used that to hire other photographers."
8) Some paparazzi photographers have their own agents. Harrison has one. The agent negotiates all of the deals for Harrison's pictures and keeps a cut. That way, Harrison is able to focus on what he really loves – being a "field op."
9) A picture of Kim Kardashian in a bathing suit can make you almost twice as much as most Americans earn in a year. Harrison says $80,000, easy, for one magazine cover.
10) Some celebrities love the paparazzi (even if they pretend to hate them). "Paris Hilton will tweet the paparazzi when she's going to be somewhere," Harrison says. And according to him, she's far from alone. "Yesterday, Joanna Krupa from Real Housewives of Miami and Gretchen Rossi from Real Housewives of Orange County were going to a restaurant in Beverly Hills and the photographers were waiting… because they told the photographers what time they were going to be there. Celebrities who do that have no right to complain because they are complicit to what's going on."
11) There's a Starbucks with a valet. (It's this one.)
There's so much more, I just want to reveal all of it. Watch the video above for the EXCLUSIVE, BEHIND THE SCENES LOOK!

We helped Creative Nestlings capture and show off their event series through video and photography. We shot, edited and produced the result, giving them the perfect bragging material to acquire more support, community interest and sponsorship.
Creative Nestlings approached us to do a video trailer for one of their very first events in Cape Town.
Conversations on Creativity showcases creative individuals who are making a big impact in the industry. It features discussions about their creative process, their work and their ideas. The audience is encouraged to participate and bring new angles to the discussion with questions and stories of their own, promoting an atmosphere of inspiration.
It's an exciting entrepreneurial project headed up by Dillion Phiri, the founder of Creative Nestlings, with the vision of bridging the gap between the general public and the deeper creative industry.
The first event was held at Truth Coffee in Cape Town, with speakers including Kent Lingeveldt, Rizqah Dollie, Thoki Tafeni and Loyiso Mkize. Consecutive events take place on a monthly basis around Cape Town, Johannesburg and eventually the rest of South Africa.
Every bit of our photography and video is focused on capturing the atmosphere of the event. GreenGrassGrow, who were the musical guests for the evening, supplied the soundtrack for the trailer and Dillion Phiri made sure we had access to the best angles in the room.
Conversations on Creativity is an amazing project. Capturing the event through photography and video was exciting, but being a part of it and feeling the inspiration in the room was even better. If you'd like to be notified of the next Conversation of Creativity, you can visit the Creative Nestlings Facebook Page over here.
If you have an amazing event of your own you'd like to have captured, get in touch!

Kerr eager to make the most of every England opportunity after hockey switch
Heather Kerr in action for England
If you're looking for proof that it's never too late to succeed at something new, England and Darlington Mowden Park Sharks forward Heather Kerr is your answer.
Kerr, a former hockey goalkeeper, had never touched a rugby ball until she took part in a charity match at Durham University aged 21 and since then she's never looked back.
Fast forward two years and she had joined DMP Sharks, who now play in the women's top division Tyrrells Premier 15s, and by 2015, she had made her debut for the Red Roses at the 2015 Six Nations.
It's been a whirlwind few years for the 28-year-old, who was part of the England squad who won all three of their autumn internationals in November, but it's been an experience she will never regret.
"I played once, and I don't think I ever touched a hockey stick again," she said.
"Before I knew it, I was playing for Durham University. I already had the physical attributes to play sport, it was just a question of learning how to actually play rugby.
"I'd never watched rugby as a child and my family were never interested either, so it was one of those strange coincidences where I just landed in the sport."
If Kerr's twenties don't already sound hectic enough, add into the mix that she recently completed a PhD in Civil Engineering at Durham and now works as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the university.
It may sound a tough balancing act but for Kerr her job is more a labour of love, the loosehead prop admitting she worked remotely on her research projects while on away duty with England.
That said, if the offer of a full-time contract with the Red Roses ever came up, Kerr knows she would jump at the chance.
"That's my full-time job and rugby is my part-time passion," she added.
"Now I'm a full-time working adult, I have to schedule my leave very carefully to make sure I can actually go away and play for England in summer and in autumn tours.
"If I was ever offered a full-time contract, it's just something you don't really say no to.
"I know it would be one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Very few people get to play sport full-time in their lives and for a lot of women it's still one of those dream jobs, isn't it?
"I'm not that old but in rugby terms, I'm getting there. I know I have the rest of my life to work, so whatever opportunity I take I'm going to do it with full force."
Kerr and DMP Sharks take on Saracens on Saturday at Allianz Park, kick off at 1.30pm.

First off, let me apologize for not announcing this sooner. But as with all good things, I didn't want to announce anything prematurely or risk jinxing it. To put it simply, I have been approached by a publisher about my current work in progress – The Cronian Incident. And while nothing has been put in writing just yet, if all goes well, it will be part of Space Dock's 2017 publishing catalog – which is the sci-fi subsidiary for a UK publisher.
To start at the beginning, back in October, this publisher sent me a message via Facebook. It seemed that we were part of the same writer's group, and he had heard me going on about The Cronian Incident and all the ideas I was exploring to create it. Apparently, this is something lots of publishers do these days, which is rely on social media to look for aspiring authors.
Anyhoo, I replied to him that I would be interested, and that the manuscript (though not yet complete) was coming along nicely. Over the course of the next few weeks, we did the usual back and forth. He explained what they were looking for and asked me about my long-term plans, I told him about the overall story and how I hoped to write sequels to it.
He then asked me to send the first four chapters to see if it had promise. Here too, I learned something valuable. These days, its the first four chapters (not five, not three) that make-or-break many online sales. You see, people using Amazon are able to download these as a sample and will base their decision to buy the whole book depending on whether or not it's grabbed their interest.
So the first notes the publisher gave me was that he liked the idea, but also stressed that the beginning needed "a hook". There was little in the first four chapters of my original draft to introduce the overall plot, they said, and things kind of built slowly. So I revised it, added a prologue that contains the "inciting event" of the story (a kidnapping) and sent it back. This met with his approval, and he sent it on to one of his editors for a second look.
And just a few days ago, they got back to me again. Once again, I got some kudos on the story, but more concerns that things take too long to develop. However, this time around, it was more in the form of a suggestion. I took this to be a good sign, but of course I took the suggestion seriously. These people know what readers are likely to buy, so I'm not about to disregard their recommendations.
So I'm doing a second round of edits now, and working to complete the novel so its ready for the 2017 publishing season. At this point, I'm over 70,000 words into the story, and I imagine there's about ten more chapters to go. At this rate, I can estimate that the final product will be probably be about 100,000 words (though that is likely to come down after all the editing is finished).
And like I said, nothing has been signed yet so nothing is written in stone. But so far, I'm pretty enthused about how things are going. It's taken me over ten years to actually get to the point where a publisher was interested in my work and contacted me. In the meantime, feel free to join me in being cautiously optimistic!
Dude! Congratulations! Let me know when the book comes out, so I can read it.
And if you don't mind, would you pass my name onto the company? I'm trying the traditional route again these days as well.
And you too. Any plans for the holidays?
Go up to Michigan to see some relatives for a couple days, come home Christmas Day. My dad and sisters will go off to Colombia for the rest of their winter vacations, but since I haven't saved up enough vacation days (and have frankly no desire to lay on the beach to get sunburned to death), I'll just watch the Doctor Who Christmas Special and hang around Columbus. New Year's, I'll catch the Ohio State-Clemson game, and then sleep.
Congratulations Matt! That's wonderful and exciting news.
This calls for a brand new cheerleader outfit. I'm thinking purple with some sparkles.

Third Man is proud to continue our exploration of powerful gospel music from Nashville's own Nashboro Records following the enthusiastic reception of 2018's "Give Me My Flowers" compilation.
The next chapter shines a spotlight on The Morning Echoes of Detroit, an electrifying Detroit-based gospel group who made their way down to Nashville to record for Ernie Young's Nashboro imprint. And who better to reinforce the musically fruitful connections between these two cities than Third Man?
The Morning Echoes, led by Willie "Slim" Ayers, formed in the late '40s, released their first 7" in 1951 and moved to Detroit in 1952. They started regularly broadcasting over radio station WJLB and became a part of the Nashboro Records family several years later. Echoes Of The Gospel was originally released in 1967 and was the first Long Playing record from these Motor City favorites. The Morning Echoes remained active in and around Detroit throughout the 1960s, '70s and '80s. The project officially came to a close when leader Willie "Slim" Ayers passed on September 17, 2013.
This re-issue came into our world when TMR artist and friend Kelley Stoltz sent a well-loved copy of Echoes Of The Gospel in gratitude for having him play the Third Man Pressing grand opening party. His note read "Thanks for the fantastic experience! This one is a spirit lifter, In The Garden Of Eden does it for me. XO Kelley".

Biden May Be Secretly Planning To Replace Kamala Harris As VP: Insider Rumor
Martin WalshJune 1, 2022
Rumors are flying that Joe Biden's administration is at least looking into the idea of replacing Kamala Harris as vice president and having her nominated to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.
White House insiders are painting a picture of total chaos and discontent between Biden and Harris, according to CNN.
"Kamala Harris is a leader but is not being put in positions to lead," a top Democratic donor said. "[Biden] should be putting her in positions to succeed, as opposed to putting weights on her. If you did give her the ability to step up and help her lead, it would strengthen you and strengthen the party."
The CNN report also claims there's a rumor that Biden has considered booting Harris from the vice presidency altogether and nominating her to a Supreme Court vacancy.
"That chatter has already reached top levels of the Biden orbit, according to one person who's heard it," CNN reported.
The rumor is now floating around the media as well.
In a scathing piece from New York Magazine, titled, "There Has to Be a Backup Plan. There's a Backup Plan, Right? Inside the 2024 soul-searching that's happening in every corner of the Democratic Party," author Gabriel Debenedetti discusses how Democrats are facing a reckoning.
Debenedetti notes how there seems to be a major divide between Biden and his allies on one side and Harris and her loyalists on the other.
With Trumpism re-ascendant, ambivalence about Biden's age and political standing is fueling skepticism just as the image of his understudy, Vice-President Kamala Harris, dips even further than his. The most recent analysis from the Los Angeles Times has her net approval rating at negative 11. The result is a bizarre disconnect within the Democratic Party, with two factions talking past each other.
One group consists of Biden and his loyalists, who are convinced that while the ticket's numbers are undeniably bleak, they're historically unsurprising for a president and VP facing their first midterm and will surely bounce back. The second group comprises a broad swath of the Democratic elite and rank and file alike, who suspect that vectors of age, succession, and strategy have created a dynamic with no obvious parallel in recent history.
Debenedetti notes that Harris expects Biden to run again in 2024, but if he did step aside, would he endorse Harris as the Democratic nominee?
Most think Harris would win the nomination if Biden backed her, and no one thinks he would ever actively endorse anyone else. But to her doubters, that itself is reason to think that "Biden has to run again because he desperately has to keep Trump out of the White House and defend our democracy," as one Capitol Hill supporter puts it. "And I have no doubts Kamala Harris can't win."
The inside-baseball gripes and anonymous knifing would be easier to shrug off if not for the flurry of sub-rosa activity elsewhere in the party, which suggests a potential Harris candidacy may not be intimidating enough to keep others away from 2024.

City Room | A Juneteenth Riddle: Was Duffield Street a Stop on the Underground Railroad?
A Juneteenth Riddle: Was Duffield Street a Stop on the Underground Railroad?
By Sewell Chan

New York City insists that six 19th-century houses on Duffield Street in Downtown Brooklyn were not, in fact, a way station for runaway slaves before the Civil War. A group of politicians and local historians begs to differ. A two-year, city-financed study of the matter found no persuasive evidence that the houses were ever part of the underground railroad, but skeptics are unconvinced.
For decades, local lore had it that the houses on Duffield Street had been part of an escape route for freedom-seeking slaves. The issue came to a head in 2004, when residents learned that their houses might be seized under eminent domain because the block lay within the Downtown Brooklyn redevelopment area.
The city's Economic Development Corporation, which intends to build a public park and an underground parking garage where houses stand, agreed to commission a study. But even after months of study, there was no consensus on where the historical evidence pointed.
Today — Juneteenth, the 142nd anniversary of the announcement of the abolition of slavery in Texas — politicians gathered on Duffield Street to challenge the conclusions of the February final report, which was prepared by AKRF, an engineering, environmental and planning consultant.
Cheryl Janifer LaRoche, a scholar who has worked on archaeological sites like the African Burial Ground in Lower Manhattan and was an expert witness on the city-sponsored study, said the city report "provides overwhelming evidence" of abolitionist activity in the area, "then proceeds to dismiss the evidence by outlining an ambiguous criteria."

James Driscoll, president of the Queens Historical Society and another member of the peer-review panel involved in the study, said 227 Duffield Street was particularly significant: "Thomas Truesdell and his wife Harriet Lee Truesdell, who both lived there, were part of the abolitionist movement –- he was an agent for the Genius of Emancipation William Lloyd Garrison's first abolitionist newspaper and she was also an active abolitionist, serving as an officer in a woman's anti-slavery society – and were practically next door neighbors to an officer in an Underground Railroad organization, William Harned, who helped a number of slaves escape to freedom."
Janel Patterson, a spokeswoman for the Economic Development Corporation, did not dispute that abolitionists were active in the area in the mid-19th century and said that some commemoration of their work would be part of whatever development occurs there. She said in a statement:
The research done by AKRF on the Duffield Street Houses over the past two years represents one of the most comprehensive and thorough analytical efforts ever conducted on Underground Railroad activity at a single site. Although the report did not find evidence that Underground Railroad activity occurred at these sites, we look forward to working with members of the City Council to determine how to commemorate the substantial activity that occurred within the greater Downtown Brooklyn neighborhood.
The Duffield Street site is an important component of the Downtown Brooklyn plan, a strategy to stimulate economic growth, create jobs, and improve the quality of life for residents and employees in the area. The plan calls for the creation of attractive, much-needed public open space and below grade parking on a portion of the site.
Ms. Patterson noted that AKRF's research was supplemented by a 12-member peer review committee, oral histories, architectural surveys and extensive outreach. "The methodology of the research and the resulting rating are not under dispute," she said.
Two City Council members, John C. Liu of Queens and Letitia James of Brooklyn, are calling for the houses to be preserve or even made into landmarks.
Comments are no longer being accepted.

This article makes a factual error in its first paragraph:
"A two-year, city-financed study of the matter found no persuasive evidence that the houses were ever part of the underground railroad, but skeptics are unconvinced."
Many of the peer reviewers hired by the Economic Development Corporation to legitimize the report found that the evidence uncovered by AKRF provided powerful evidence that this is an important potential Underground Railroad site. Their recommendations to preserve the properties was published in the AKRF report in Appendix C.
The academics most familiar with this area of research DID find persuasive evidence, in spite of the EDC's spin to the contrary.
This raises some important questions. Why did the AKRF hire these experts and then ignore their advice? The authors of the AKRF report- the researchers whose work the Peer Reviewers reviewed- were left nameless by AKRF. What were their qualifications? Were they capable to design this sort of research study?
More broadly speaking, where does the burden of proof lie here? The EDC wants to confiscate and demolish privately owned homes. It seems to me that they should prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Abolitionists who lived on Duffield Street do not warrant to be commemorated at their homes.
Also, unmentioned in this article is the new lawsuit filed by Joy Chatel and FUREE challenging the AKRF report. The residents allege that the report does not follow environmental review laws.
Christabel Gough June 19, 2007 · 11:50 pm
AKRF and the EDC framed this debate to give political cover for the demolition of historic houses on Duffield Street to make a parking garage. We know that fugitive slaves passed through these streets; we know that the houses belonged to freedom fighters who devoted their lives to the abolition of slavery. Why should city government demand non-existent documents to prove that fugitives were sheltered in these cellars? It was a federal crime to harbor fugitives after 1850, you could go to jail and pay a fine of $1000 (about $25,000 in today's money) for each fugitive you sheltered. If you sheltered fugitives, would it make sense to leave evidence of what you had done?
Council member Liu hit the nail on the head when he held a press conference on Juneteeth, our day to celebrate the abolition of slavery. Abolition was the great constitutional goal; sheltering fugitives through the underground railroad was a momentary expression of human decency to people in need.
Joy Chatel June 20, 2007 · 3:18 am
Expert witness Richard Hourahan, one of the original peer reviewers, stated: "AKRF researchers have not identified themselves in the report and their work painfully demonstrates their inexperience in this field. Indeed, it may be their first effort in this area. A junior faculty member mentoring, an undergraduate, would be appalled at his or her lack of preparation and effort if that student submitted this report. The study did not have a research design, either as a qualitative or quantitative investigation. Why did EDC not take one-third of the Peer Review panel and engage them as researchers, and take another third and engage them as Peer Reviewers? If they had, reputable results would have occurred two years ago. Two questions I am asking, and you should be asking also, are: Who were the researchers and what were their qualifications to conduct the research, and did they match the qualifications of our panel? Personally, I doubt it very much. Our panel has been abused and demeaned by this process. A pretense of capability has been maintained in a research field that is very specialized and the people to be reviewed have asserted their entitlement to be the judges of the Peer Review, a juried committee."
Sewell Chan June 19, 2007 · 11:34 pm
raulistic,
Thanks for reading and commenting. There is no factual error in the first paragraph. It is accurate that "the city-financed study found no persuasive evidence" that the Duffield Street houses were an Underground Railroad site. And it is equally true that many scholars and historians — including members of the peer-review panel — adamantly dispute that conclusion.
Indeed, it is precisely the dissent and lack of consensus that made this item newsworthy. It was clear to me that a lot of
people (including you) do not agree with the conclusions of the EDC/AKRF study.
Sherrill D Wilson, Ph.D. June 20, 2007 · 11:23 am
New York's history is one that painfully depicts the history of the enslaved African from it's colonial inception through the mid 19th century. It is disappointing after the long hard struggle to preserve and recognize the now national monument African Burial Ground, that subterfuge and business as usual politics continue when it comes to recognizing and simply accepting in more than word alone that Africans enslaved and free people lived, died, fought and hid in the bowels of this great city–NY. The recent conflict in Brooklyn is simply indictative that the struggle goes on and must cease. The historic places that tell the stories of our often unnamed and undervalued ancestors should be sytematically sought out, documented to the greatest degree posssible, and preserved to educate our citizens, children and future descedants. It is not enough to say that we are free people today–we are the descendants of the formerly enslaved upon whose backs the wealth of this great country has been built. Our history is as important as those who reaped the benefits of the labor of our ancestors and their ancestors before them.
The recognition of our African contributions, lives and deaths on the missing pages of history may be one of the only means by which we may heal the pain of the past. Given what was contributed willingly and unwillingly by our ancestors–recognition almost seems like a small thing. We owe it to our selves, we owe the truth to our children and all New Yorkers. The 142nd year since the travesty of Juneteenth should be a reminder to all of us–knowledge is power –it changes everthing.

Sewell,
I am glad to hear that you find the dissent and lack of consensus to be newsworthy. I would like to make explicit a point that I wasn't clear about initially. You use Janel Patterson's quote "The methodology of the research and the resulting rating are not under dispute" in order to emphasize that there is in fact a dispute. The implication is that the spokesperson for the EDC is not completely credible.
Here is another way that I don't find her credible. You say "Ms. Patterson noted that AKRF's research was supplemented by a 12-member peer review committee, oral histories, architectural surveys and extensive outreach." Not does the peer review raise more questions that it answers, so do the oral histories. The informants in the oral history effort vociferously denounce the methodologies used- that's a whole story in itself. The architectural surveys did not include an archaeologist, even though AKRF has one on staff. And AKRF published some of maps, but oddly left out the key to Perris 1855 map which seems to contradict their findings.
Finally, when reading the AKRF report, I was struck by the failure of AKRF's outreach. Almost none of the churches and other organizations contacted responded. And various disputes arose when AKRF claimed they had a response by Christopher Moore of the Schomburg Center.
I find it encouraging that this is the best that Ms. Patterson can come up with. I do hope the EDC finds a way to include the Duffield Street homes as part of a vibrant Downtown Brooklyn.
L Eskenas June 20, 2007 · 2:25 pm
The facts were not presented correctly in this article. You quote the EDC and AKRF who were completely dicredited at a City Council hearing;
There is more evidence that 227 Duffield Street
was an important Underground Railroad house, than most other historically designated sites and buildings. The Peer Reviewers testified against the inaccurate and inept AKRF report, not for it. If you had been at these events you would have learned the basic facts. They are available, and you should familiarise yourself with them; as this is a national and most important issue.
P. Bennett June 20, 2007 · 3:01 pm
Funny how New York never learns its lesson. You'd think after the urban planning disasters of the past—of which the razing of Penn Station was but the most glaring, and against which writers such as Jane Jacobs and Ada Huxtable took eloquent stands—the city would take a more measured approach to development. And yet take a look around; beautiful old buildings even in neighborhoods such as the West Village are being torn down in the name of "progress." Which makes it all the more imperative that buildings such as the ones on Duffield Street be preserved, as their history transcends their facades. I'm amazed that the city would plough ahead—literally—when there is even a shadow of doubt about their status as underground railway sites. But these days in New York, "progress" is just another word for "profits," and those profits exist for the few at the expense of the rest—and at the expense of history.

AKRF tried in vain not to take oral history but peer reviewer complained that it was an intrugle part of the research. Then they provided an oral historian who was nothing more then a college aid for a professor whose backround is in south east asia. Once again AKRF used this ploy to try not take oral history but the peer reviewers brought pressure. Finally they come to terms with the Duffield seven houses and told us that all they would take was one person from each house after we told them we planned to provided 36 people who wish to do oral history. One of them was a woman who over a hundred years old and who played in the room infront of the buildings. AKRF arranged to do the oral during the last week of 2005 and first weel of 2006 the oral historian took history from eight people. total time spent was 3 days aproximatly 25 hours which was rendered onto hundreds of type written pages. We were given eight days to review and return to AKRF with our edits. after getting the coucil involved AKRF backed off and gave us proper time to do the edits.
I had 70 pages to edit it took almost two month the fix up the oral testomony.
AKRF used none of my oral testomony. After reading their summery I understand why it was not included it created problems for their final report.
In my building there is a capped well, two external entrences, two fireplaces that had large stoves connected to them. Indication that basement and sub basement were not connected by stairwells.
In the house at 223 there is a link to the rooms infront of the building.
The owner of 225 saw the rooms in front of his building
in 227 there is strong evedence that there was an enterence to the rooms in from of the building where freedom seekers could hide. All of the underground rooms in front of the building were inter connected these room were bricked lined and quit large in width. None of these charteristics were submitted in the report. None of the shaft were tested for coal residue as AKRF stated they were cold shoots. None of the flue pipes were tested to determine what type of ash and it origin was it wood or coal.
Need we say more about the AKRF report. To call it flawed is too kind. It was a complete fabrication of the facts.
One of the 1930 commideans once stated if you want to lie start out with some truth and the rest you say will be believed as true. The bigger the lie the more will believe it.
Open you eye people the truth shall set you free

During the City Council oversight hearing in May regarding the report, CM Liu repeated asked the EDC if the economic development plans for Downtown Brooklyn would be delayed if these houses were allowed to remain. After much hemming and hawing, it was revealed that the only section of the plan that would be delayed by the retention of these houses was the destruction of these houses – the rezoning, the street improvements and all the rest were continuing apace. The City has not flagged once in their seemingly-irrational need to raze these properties and the circumlocutions that have been generated are growing evermore bizarre; with the latest being a statement by the Landmarks Preservation Commissioner Robert Tierney that the history these properties represent would better served by commemorative signage than preservation.
Jeanette Sena Muhlmann June 20, 2007 · 8:39 pm
It is a scandal that a fake and unprofessional "report" of AKRF tries to overrule the truth.It would be a crime against democracy if powerful developers can influence a government to look aside and move forward with destruction of history.
History needs to be embraced because we all learn from it. If you erase history – history will be repeated.
It is A FACT that Duffield Street has tunnels, and it is a fact that these tunnels were part of the Underground Railroad.
It is a farce that the government has hald a million dollars for a bogus repost and not eben the guts to show up in Duffield Street and see evidence.
People are too scared to speak out. That is the problem. I live here since 2000. I came fromn Europe. When I moved here the first thing that the elders told me was the fact that Duffield Street is part of the Underground Railroad.
Oh- and when I look down from my roof I know where the new found tunnels are. The construction Workers found them while digging for the new construction of the Sheraton hotel on 222 Duffield Street…to scared to speak out loud- afraid to loose their jobs…
Let me end with a powerful sentence of Franklin D. Roosevelt :"the Domination of Government by corporate power is the essence of faschism" or what about this one:Teddy Roosevelt- a Republican- said that America would never be destroyed by a foreign enemy but he warned that our bill of rights and our constitution would be subverted by malefactors of great wealth who would steal them from within…
And yes, all I can say as a european:
we keep our concentration camps as museums and the hiding places of Anne Frank and others ALIVE for future generations to come.
You developers- if you have any sense and any education then you take an architect who has skills and works with these abolitionist houses, incorporates them into the new design- build your high rises with dignity and honor our African American brothers and sisters by building a museum for the world to experience what it was like …
Otherwise I have to assume that nothing had changed and that black people are still without voice.
I expect the Mayor, the Borough President and the developers to look for architects with skills AND ethics.
It is absolutely possible to incorporate these little houses into a bigger concept – incorporate them and build above them the high rise – build around them your glass palace-
and maybe take a look at Dubai where they are able to build high rises with style and grace …
Or go to Europe and look how europeans presetrve their history- otherwise this our NEW York City will loose out and become a mediocre place without soul and without style and without dignity.
And I know that nobody wants that to happen… right?
Abou Fote June 20, 2007 · 11:05 pm
This is not a controversy. It is a scandal. Who buys the EDC's story? Nobody. Who stands to profit from the destruction of these homes? Nobody… well not quite. The hotels being built across the street from the abolitionist homes will profit.
So this is a nice gift to them- how thoughtful of the EDC!
This is the rare proposed development where there is no community group in favor of it. Why should any group support this grassy knoll and parking lot? Even the vague promises are lame… actually they are lauughable.
Miriam Ferla June 21, 2007 · 8:00 am
It's amazing how the city officials are quick to jump at projects, rather than taking the proper planning needed. When something historic is found, officials should be stop plans and investigate. Has any official visited these homes and viewed the evidence? Have the owners of the homes invited the officials who started this plan? Have officials offered to relocate these homes and owners?
With 9/11, city officials moved too quickly and the situation was not handled correctly. We heard that humans were cleared out of NYC and thrown into the dump.
HoustonBoy June 21, 2007 · 12:47 pm
Youse guys sure know how to make someone feel welcome! I wanted to come to New York, but I was waiting until someone built a park in Brooklyn before I did it.
But seriously, is this for real? I thought Houston was bad, but it looks like New York is doing its best to destroy its reputation as a tourist destination.
Just don't send that Janel Petterson down here. If she loves parking lots so much, she can build some with her own money.
TCL March 31, 2008 · 6:39 pm
If you check Curbed.com, you will see that 227 Duffield Street is in foreclosure, a well known fact in the neighborhood. Ms. Chatel's claim of historical significance of her property smack of an attempt to line her own pocket.

Q: Web Browser in a Java Application How can I open a webpage from a java application and enter username and password into it? I have seen questions here where people have referred to lobo or DJ Native Swing.
But as I am very new to java these libraries seem quite complex to me and I can not find a good tutorial in it, please refer to some good library with a solid tutorial which can be a beginning ground for me.
Note: I am developing a Java Swing application and show the user a page opening and user name and password being submitted.

A: Take a look at Apache's HttpComponents project

A: What application do you develop? Web? Desktop/swing? Console? Mobile?

A: It is not clear what you want to do.
1) Do you want to show it to the user?
join to WebKit browser in Java app on multiple platforms
2) You want to fetch some data from a web page that requires login?
then you should join to HttpClient login, search and get the XML content

A: Your question is not clear, are you trying to write a java application that will open a browser and enter data automatically?
If this is what you want then you can use selenium, a plugin for Mozilla. You can record your mouse movements, all your actions will get recorded as a jUnit test case.
You can then modify this junit test and read in the usernanme and password programatically from a file (or what ever you are trying to do.). This test can be run as a stand alone java application.

Amendments to the Cyprus Citizenship Programme
On 25 July 2019 the Council of Ministers has decided a number of amendments to the Cyprus Citizenship Programme, which aims to exclude politically exposed persons from the right to apply for the acquisition of the Cyprus citizenship.
The decision was taken due to an increasing demand to protect the country against high-risk individuals and has been published in the Official Gazette and brought into effect as of 23 August 2019.
A politically exposed person (PEP) includes the following categories of individuals:
Persons having a prominent public function.
Persons who have had a prominent public function the last five years.
Persons subject to criminal investigation without having been accused.
Persons subject to prosecution who have been charged.
Persons convicted to imprisonment for serious offences (e.g. bribery by a public person, tax evasion, etc.) and the sentenced has been barred.
Persons affiliated with legal entities to which sanctions have been imposed by the European Union (EU) e.g. shareholders or persons in the senior management of companies included in the list of sanctions.
Persons who have been affiliated with legal entities to which sanctions have been imposed by the European Union (EU), but which they are no longer affiliated with e.g. former members of the senior management of companies included in the list of sanctions, which have been affiliated with the specific companies when the sanctions were imposed. It is provided that, even if during the time of the imposition of the sanctions they were no longer affiliated, the application will be dismissed. Those who have ceased affiliation before the imposition of the sanctions are excluded.

Cubillos es una localidad y municipio  español de la provincia de  Zamora y de la comunidad autónoma de Castilla y León.

Perteneciente a la comarca de la Tierra del Pan y tiene en su iglesia de Santa María de la Asunción (, aunque presenta restos más antiguos) su edificio más destacado, en el que se encuentra una talla de la Virgen del .

Ubicación

Cubillos se encuentra situada a 8 km de Zamora, la capital provincial. Cuenta con un acceso desde la carretera N-122. Se asienta sobre una llanura dividida por un arroyo, cuyas orillas estaban cubiertas de sotos de negrillos, que sirvieron de producción de madera durante muchos años. No obstante, la producción más característica de esta localidad fue la cal, existiendo documentación de numerosas iglesias que compraban dicho material en este pueblo.

Historia

Los primeros datos de poblamiento humano en el término de Cubillos datan de finales del  antes de Cristo, época en la que se fecha el hallazgo de plomos monetiformes en el Teso de la Atalaya.

La primera referencia escrita data del , conforme al documento de donación (1192) de esta localidad, entonces llamada Cubelos, por el rey Alfonso IX de León a la Orden de Santiago. Posteriormente, aparece citado con la denominación de Cubiellos en el Fuero de Zamora.

Posteriormente, en 1472, Juan de Porres, Conde de Castronuevo, recibe merced sobre ciertos tributos reales de Cubillos por los servicios prestados a la Corona, si bien Cubillos se mantuvo como lugar de realengo, tal y como aparece a mediados del .

Eclesiásticamente, desde finales del  Cubillos perteneció al obispado de León de Santiago, que encuadraba los territorios leoneses de dicha Orden, hecho que se prolongó hasta 1873, cuando se disolvió por orden papal dicha diócesis, pasando entonces a formar parte de la Diócesis de Zamora, a la que pertenece en la actualidad.

Finalmente, al crearse las actuales provincias en la división provincial de 1833, Cubillos quedó encuadrado en la provincia de Zamora, dentro de la Región Leonesa.

Patrimonio

Llegó a contar con dos parroquias, la desaparecida de San Juan Bautista, perteneciente a la Orden de Santiago y al Priorato de San Marcos de León, y la actual parroquia de Santa María de la Asunción, perteneciente a la diócesis de Zamora.

Iglesia de Santa María de la Asunción

Su fábrica es de sillería y mampostería del , aunque presenta restos más antiguos. De su exterior destaca la torre de aspecto románico y planta cuadrada de tres cuerpos. Cuenta también con un pórtico de época más moderna.

Su interior se encuentra organizado en tres naves, separadas por arcos formeros que descargan sobre columnas de gran diámetro. Todo el inmueble está cubierto con techos planos.

Cuenta con varios retablos. El retablo mayor es del  y cuenta con tres calles con labor rococó que cobija la Virgen titular, del , en su hornacina principal, y a su lado se encuentran las imágenes de San Atilano y San Froilán del . Existen, además, dos retablos laterales, uno dedicado a la Virgen del Rosario y otro presidido por un Cristo crucificado acompañado de las imágenes de la Dolorosa y de Santa Rita.

La iglesia cuenta con una pila bautismal de piedra, con taza gallonada, del .

Fiestas de la localidad

Festividad de Santa Rita, el 22 de mayo.
Fiesta de verano, el último fin de semana de julio.

Alden Ehrenreich to Play Han Solo
By TuskenRaider,
May 6, 2016 in Star Wars
Stolen from a friend in response to screenrant:
the only time the "star wars" movie franchise was ever about "artistic risks" instead of "delivering to the audience a homogeneous and reliable experience of popular entertainment from which everyone gets the exact same rush" was when a maverick independent filmmaker named george lucas wrote, directed, and produced three films in the late nineties/early aughts with his own money, following his own muse, and answering to absolutely no one.
however you feel about how that worked out, it is an important distinction to understand in the light of the current upheavals surrounding the property. "star wars" is owned by disney: their job is to make sure that EVERYONE who watches "star wars" enjoys it, preferably in the closest approximate manner to the way that audiences in 1977 enjoyed the original (hopefully while fooling you into thinking that you are seeing the same story in a completely new way that is nevertheless completely evocative of the classic material) - the money at stake is in the BILLIONS, and the definition of "success" is matching the grosses of the single most successful, pop-culture-defining work in the history of the medium itself.
consider this the next time you read an article accusing that evil and nasty woman kathleen kennedy of firing those two virtuous and artistically daring risk-takers from the han solo movie. maybe she is doing a very clearly-defined job in a very structured environment with stakes - and public attention - beyond anything anything any of us, even those in the business, can imagine... and whether you like it or not, her job is not to give to you personally what you think "star wars" SHOULD be, but rather a "star wars" the entire world CAN enjoy.
People also need to remember that George Lucas hand-picked Kathleen Kennedy to take over Lucasfilm when he retired, and he also chose to sell to Disney.

I'm just going to say it. TFA was Chewie's best movie, and I suspect it had something to do with not Peter Mayhew playing him almost everywhere. I never super cared for Chewie either way. If he's in t
Somewhere in his mansion while smoking a $100 bill, George Lucas is thinking, this is why I sold this shit.
I would like to add, just in case we go too far the other way and start trumpeting the "Disney-Lucasfilm will always play it safe and never do anything different" mantra, they did release a movie last year where all of the protagonists died. Now of course they didn't do that without extensive audience testing and so on, but it shows they are willing to try different things, at least in the anthology movies.
I thought both jump street movies were pretty decent, and I loved the Lego movie. Definitely talented guys, but the kind of gags in those movies are a bad fit for a Star Wars movie. Not a particularly great fit in my opinion.
That being said, anyone not on the inside are really just offering their best guess as to what exactly happened.
Guest Robin
I heard that Kennedy walked in on Lord and Miller as they were double teaming the classic Yoda puppet.
I heard the opposite. They walked in on her and Kasdan having their way with the old Jabba, and they got fired for not minding their own damn business
That brings new meaning to "Jabba Flow"
Both highly probable theories. I mean, it's pretty clear someone walked in on someone screwing something from the original trilogy prop room.
Whatever it was, you know Salacious Crumb was there, watching and laughing.
lmao. Oh.
Report: Lucasfilm was so concerned with Alden Ehrenreich's Han Solo performance it brought in an acting coach.
Also coverage on scenes was apparently an issue. All that combined with a now likely comedic tone approach could have an effect on all actors involved. Perhaps like an impersonation in a SNL skit, you can see the person, they nail it for moments but it's a SNL skit.
The Hollywood Reporter article said that this was a direct result of the disagreement over the directing style. LFL didn't like the way Lord and Miller were directing Alden. Apparently Alden also expressed concern with the direction of the project.
pavonis
I know almost nothing about acting, but playing an iconic character can't be easy. Ehrenreich can't just put his own spin on the character. He has to act like Harrison Ford's Han Solo. At least Chris Pine's Kirk was from a different timeline, so he didn't have to act merely like a younger version of Shatner's Kirk. Ehrenreich doesn't even have that much excuse for differences.
Thankfully I have no real interest in this movie. So other than the trailers I'll probably wind up seeing it without any sort of knowledge or expectations. I tried reading The Han Solo and Lando books years ago and just gave up because they didn't grab me.
Durty D
More info keeps "leaking" on LFL's disappointment with Lord and Millar. Turns out they weren't getting the coverage that was expected. Limited camera set ups, not enough angles, not enough range of delivery from the actors.
I'm guessing LFL learned from what went wrong on RO and wanted to limit their exposure by having enough footage that they could basically take over in editing...I guess that didn't happen and Lord and Miller were let go.
I think it's simple, these guys basically make tongue in cheek movies. Lucasfilm wanted aspects of that in this movie but these guys were going all out and making one of their movies. Rather that making a Star Wars movie infused with their stye.
Which makes you wonder what the hell those guys were thinking?? As if Lucasfilm/Disney would ever let them do just what they want. Delusions of grandeur.
Maybe they were trying to give it that authentic Star Wars feel. I mean, I never had the impression that Lucas did more than one take of any shot.
He took tons of shots in the PT, at least. He had a habit of digitally connecting pieces from various takes into one shot.
Multiple shots-- but only two drafts of the script, the second of which was finished while shooting.
Lord and Miller shot first.
Seems he couldn't digitally connect many good performances.
Rather that making a Star Wars movie infused with their stye.
That's kind of gross. And yet it is still accurate.
Ron Howard is really making this his own. Probably should've just hired someone like him from the start.
http://screenrant.com/han-solo-paul-bettany-replacing-michael-k-williams/
I guess we know what'll be on the DVD now - Williams' deleted scenes.
So what do we think of the title?
"Solo: A Star Wars Story"
As my friend said, it's a real anticlimax, and when I told my missus, her exact words were, well that's a bit shit, and I can't say I disagree.

Finally, regulatory differentiation
Bermuda Captive
AM Best rates Schlumberger's three captives
Empowering women in captives – the challenges and the opportunity
Captive industry must explore internships and partner with academia
After months of uncertainty, it seems that Bermuda's approach to Solvency II equivalency is likely to differentiate captives from the wider commercial market.
There has been much discussion in recent years regarding the potential implications of Solvency II for the captive sector. While Solvency II was initially envisaged as a European insurance project, its remit has extended far beyond the continent's shores, with Bermuda and Japan both opting for equivalency (alongside Switzerland), and its ramifications have been felt well beyond the borders of its initial participants. Europe's regulatory programme has helped to shape the debate concerning ongoing global regulation, with the countries opting out of the regime nevertheless having to respond to the changing landscape.
Captives have found themselves caught up in discussions surrounding the application of Solvency II, and for European captives, it seems that they may yet remain within its remit. Talking with Carlos Montalvo, executive director of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), he indicated that captives will be able to benefit from the introduction of "simplification" for the calculation of their solvency capital requirements, and that Europe will seek to apply proportionality—an approach that will be of evident benefit to smaller captive entities. However, Guenter Droese, chairman of the European Captive Insurance and Reinsurance Owners Association (ECIROA), said that concerns remain for European captive owners. Captives continue to be a low priority for EIOPA, Droese said, with confusion regarding the likely application of Solvency II remaining the overriding concern for the industry.
The situation has encouraged places such as Guernsey and Cayman to either actively opt out of Solvency II or else take a wait-and-see approach to the imminent measures. Not so Bermuda. Opting to be considered in the first wave of equivalency, the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA) has taken a pro-active approach to the application of the new regulatory measures that places it at the forefront of international insurance jurisdictions.
There was concern when Bermuda opted to be considered for equivalency that, while an obvious fit for its significant commercial re/ insurance sector, the regime would prove excessively burdensome for the Island's captive sector. However, following consultations with the Bermuda captive sector—an approach that the BMA can take more readily than EIOPA, which has to deal with a more unwieldy and disparate European captive community—the BMA looks set to take steps to institute a captive 'carve-out', which will differentiate captives from larger commercial players under Solvency II.
"Following consultations with the bermuda captive sector... the bma looks set to take steps to institute a captive 'carve out', which will differentiate captives from larger commercial players under solvency II."
The anticipated carve-out will involve maintaining current solvency and capital requirements for captives, while strengthening captive reporting requirements, said Lawrence Bird, chairman of the Bermuda Insurance Management Association (BIMA). Efforts at strengthening reporting requirements were already in the pipeline at the BMA, while current solvency and capital requirements applied by the Bermuda regulator would continue to prove adequate for the sector, he said. Bermuda will now have to convince Europe that such an approach adequately reflects its idea of appropriate risk mitigation.
Although yet to be set in stone—and Bermuda's play for equivalency has, similarly, yet to receive approval from Brussels—many in the industry are confident that the new differentiated approach will help to keep Bermuda at the forefront of captive domiciles. Some had worried that an onerous regulatory regime would cause captive owners to shy away from Bermuda. But as Ernest Morrison, director, head of corporate at Cox Hallet Wilkinson (CHW) indicated, the carve-out will enable captives to avoid the significant expense associated with full compliance.
"This is a huge step that will benefit Bermuda for a number of years, in terms both of credibility and a differentiated approach to regulation," said Morrison. Bird said that the Island's classification system had played a significant part in its ability to institute a carve-out. Bermuda's Class I-IV system had made the task of differentiation and explaining its proposed segmented approach to Europe far simpler, he said, adding that he was "cautiously optimistic" that EIOPA would support the Bermuda approach.
Should Bermuda receive approval for equivalency and its captive carve-out, Bird said that he hoped that other captive domiciles would follow in Bermuda's footsteps. Such a development would be good for "those domiciles and captives generally", enabling local regulators to apply a more sensible and less onerous approach to captive regulation. Few would argue that Solvency II is not an appropriate piece of regulation; it is only its application to the captive sector that seems rather over-zealous. By taking a stand and looking to implement a proportionate approach that has, as yet, eluded Europe, Bermuda might just be establishing what could become the appropriate global application of Europe's regulatory project for the captive sector.
