Van Horn Aviation engineers continuously work on new products to meet the needs of the growing rotorcraft industry. We do nearly all engineering, prototyping, testing, and conformity in house while working the FAA and industry experts to certify the products. It's a long process, but by keeping most of the control in-house, we can shorten the process with rapid prototyping, computer modeling, component testing, and iterative flight testing during development.
The table below lists products currently in development and their current statuses.
Prototype blades constructed as of May 2016.
Instrumented in 4th quarter 2016.
Flight testing started 1st quarter 2017.
Re-design 1 in 2nd quarter 2017.
Flight test 2 in 2nd quarter 2017.
Redesign 2 in 3rd quarter 2017.
Flight testing complete in March 2018.
TIA achieved in July 2018. FAA Certification in August 2018. In process of applying for other certifications.

Q: Java - Is it better to pass reference or work with hardcoded objects if possible Is it worth to make better code (ClassB) instead of going with two separate check methods? So main question is: am I right when assuming that Class A is a bit faster than Class B, or is its difference doesn't really matter and passing variables (List in this situation) doesn't really affect productivity, even if these lists had 1000 objects each? Sorry if this question is dumb.
 public class ClassA implements Runnable {

    ArrayList<Obj> list1;
    ArrayList<Obj> list2;

    boolean checkList1() {
        for (Obj str : list1) {
            if (str.check()) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

    boolean checkList2() {
        for (Obj str : list2) {
            if (str.check()) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        checkList1();
        checkList2();
    }
}

OR
 public class ClassB implements Runnable {

    ArrayList<Obj> list1;
    ArrayList<Obj> list2;

    boolean checkAnyList(ArrayList<Obj> list) {
        for (Obj str : list) {
            if (str.check()) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        checkAnyList(list1);
        checkAnyList(list2);
    }

}

A: You are doing the same thing so there is no difference.

A: Doing the same thing.So there is no difference

A: The main point is code duplication - you are doing the exact same thing twice, plz don't. Whenever you will have to change something - there are at least two places you might need to that - easy to forget.
The more interesting thing is that ultimately the second approach could be faster, since there is a single method that the JVM JIT has to optimize; let's say inline it.

A: You could test that yourself but in the end the difference is next to non-existant so I'd go with the easier to read and maintain version (which I'd say would be version 2).
As of Java 8 that could be something like this as well:
//Note that this doesn't match your code exacly but you should get what I mean.
//Since you didn't provide any hint on how you'd use the return values of your methods I'm working on assumptions here.
boolean result = list1.stream().anyMatch(o -> o.check() ) &&
                 list2.stream().anyMatch(o -> o.check() ) ;

A probably better variant, since refactoring wouldn't need you to change multiple predicates, might be this:
//Changes to how you'd check your elements would just require you to change this predicate.
Predicate<? super Obj> predicate = o -> o.check();
boolean result = list1.stream().anyMatch( predicate ) &&
                 list2.stream().anyMatch( predicate ) ;

A: In the end, you should just measure it. For that, you can use a high precision timer like System.nanoTime()
Without measuring I would prefer classB. The following issues make classB more interesting

*

*avoiding nearly duplicated code

*more flexible when introducing more lists

*JIT compiler improves code depending on the number of calls. So the method in classB reaches much earlier the threshold to improve.

*it is not likely that a static available list is faster than a referenced one. The little advantage of classA not to pass a list, does only save a very little startup time.

Just wait until I get real figures....

Employers should re-evaluate any employment policies that exclude –intentionally or not –pregnant employees from job accommodations, leave or other benefits in the face of Wednesday's U.S. Supreme Court decision in Young v. UPS. This includes policies such as limiting accommodation or other benefits to occupationally related injuries, lifting restrictions, seniority restrictions on leave, time off or sick pay and other similar policies.
c. The requested accommodation had been made available to some non-pregnant employees.
The decision breaks new ground in suggesting that employers have an affirmative duty to accommodate pregnancy, at least in some circumstances, and is a radical departure from the settled Title VII principle that a lack of wisdom, decency or objective correctness of an employer's policies is not evidence of pretext.
Together with last summer's EEOC Enforcement Guidance on Pregnancy Discrimination, which emphasizes use of disparate impact theory in pregnancy cases, employers should review any policies or rules that might have a disproportionate effect on pregnant workers. In addition to limiting job accommodations, employers should be particularly careful to examine restrictions on use of sick pay/sick time; leave eligibility outside of FMLA; lifting restrictions; and light duty assignments to determine 1) if they disparately affect pregnant employees while accommodating others, and 2) what "strong" business rationale you will offer to defend the distinction.
Pregnancy discrimination developments and other hot employment law issues will be discussed at our annual employment law seminars, HR Spring Training 2015, coming to Kalamazoo (April 28), Troy (May 12) and Chicago (June 3).

News and Blues

Your weekly re-cap of weird and funny news from around the nation.
Curses, Foiled Again
British police arrested five members of a Liverpool gang for breaking into a clothing store after hours after they attracted the attention of customers at a bar next door with loud banging while using a sledge hammer to smash the door. The suspects were apprehended after a high-speed chase. Attorneys for the defendants conceded the heist was "well-planned but badly executed." (Liverpool Echo)
Yale University basketball player Brandon Sherrod left the team to join Yale's a cappella glee club, the Whiffenpoofs. The group, formed in 1909, comprises 14 rising seniors who take a year off school to travel the world and perform. The 6-foot-6 Sherrod averaged 6.8 points and 4.3 rebounds with the Bulldogs, who finished this past season 19-14 and are expected to challenge Harvard for the Ivy League title next season. "This is supposed to be the year, and you want to play with your guys," Sherrod said, "but the Whiffenpoofs is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." (Associated Press)
Name Game
After unsuccessful campaigns for Congress and the Phoenix City Council, Scott Fister, 34, changed his name to Cesar Chavez and declared his candidacy for retiring U.S. Rep. Ed Pastor's seat in Arizona's largely Hispanic 7th Congressional District. "It's almost as simple as saying Elvis Presley is running for president," said Chavez, who not only changed his name to that of the late revered farm-labor leader, but also switched his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat. "People want a name that they can feel comfortable with. If you went out there running for office and your name was Bernie Madoff, you'd probably be screwed." (Phoenix's The Arizona Republic)
Get Off My Lawn!
Grumpiness officially begins for men around age 70, according to researchers who published their findings in the journal Psychology and Aging. Participants in the 15-year study reported feeling good about life until they reached 70, when their attitude soured for a variety of reasons, including declining health and cognitive functions and the loss of loved ones. The study's lead author, Oregon State University gerontology professor Carolyn Aldwyn, noted grumpiness isn't all bad, citing a study showing grumpy men in nursing homes "actually lived a little longer." (NPR)
No-Sex Is Its Own Punishment
The four World Cup teams that banned their players from having sex during the tournament–Russia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Chile and Mexico–all made early exits from the competition, according to the news outlet Quartz. Players on champion Germany's team were allowed to have sex. Restrictions varied from team to team. Brazil allowed players to have sex but no "acrobatics," for example, while Costa Rica said players could have sex but "not all night." (The Moscow Times)
High on the Hog
Overrun by wild hogs that threaten native wildlife and vegetation and "breed prolifically," Harris County, Texas, officials voted to trap, slaughter and cook them to supply local food banks, then signed a year's contract with a processor for $217,6000. Each hog in the horde, which numbers "as many as 8,000 to 10,000," produces 40 pounds of meat, prompting County Commissioner Steve Radack to declare the plan, which he himself proposed, a "gift from God." Texas Parks and Wildlife responded by posting a recipe for feral hog tacos on its website. Food bank officials said they were excited to receive the hog meat. The USDA warned that "unlike domesticated pigs, wild hogs are more prone to trichinella and toxoplasma parasite infections." (Houston's KTRK-TV)
Life's Ironies
Members of France's biggest pilots' union called a monthlong strike to protest the rules surrounding their right to strike. The pilots seek repeal of the law that forces them to give their companies 48 hours notice before any walkout. The airlines explained the notice allows time to notify passengers, but the union insisted it gives the airlines time to find replacements to minimize the walkout's impact. (France's The Local)
Way Too Soon
Ad agency Ogilvy & Mather apologized for a print ad for an Indian mattress company showing a cartoon image of Malala Yousafzai, a 14-year-old student activist who was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman on her way to school in 2012. In the ad, Yousafzai is shot in the face and falls backward with blood dripping from her head before landing on one of Kurl-On's spring mattresses and bouncing back as an inspirational survivor. Patricio Vergara Calderón, head of strategic planning at the studio that created the ad, defended its message, explaining, "It's about triumphing over violence." (Yahoo News)
Litigation Nation
Families with autistic children are suing Walt Disney Co. because its theme parks stopped letting the kids bypass lines for rides. Disney parks used to offer autistic visitors a "guest assistance card" that let them and their families board rides without waiting. The company cited instances of visitors hiring disabled people to obtain the cards as the reason it switched to "disability access service" cards, which let autistic children schedule times for park attractions. The 16 plaintiffs who are suing Disney under the Americans with Disabilities Act insist scheduling times amounts to waiting, which autistic children have difficulty doing. (Reuters)
Residents of Castrillo Matajudios, Spain, voted to change the name of their village, but only by 10 votes. The name translates as "Little Fort of Jew Killers." In announcing the 29-19 vote, Mayor Lorenzo Rodriguez said the village would be renamed Castrillo Mota de Judios, or Little Hill Fort of Jews. One explanation for the original name is that Jewish converts to Catholicism living there in the 17th century wanted to avoid further persecution by making clear their position. (The New York Times)
Lawn Order
After covering the yard of her home in Kansas City, Mo., with 80 tons of sand, Georgianna Reid explained, "Now being over 60, I've decided that I've owned the house for 33 years and that I wasn't going to mow anymore or water." Neighbors complained, but city inspectors said they found no violations because the sand is being used for landscaping. (United Press International)
Roosevelt High School in New York's Nassau County had to reprint its 2014 yearbooks after principal Steven Strachan was accused of plagiarizing his message to graduating seniors. Not only were some of the words identical to those another principal in Albany, Calif., wrote last year, but Strachan also ended his message: "Congratulations to the Albany High School Class of 2013." (Long Island's News 12)
Danielle Shea, 22, admitted phoning bomb threats to cancel Quinnipiac University's spring graduation ceremony because she didn't want her family to discover that she wasn't graduating. She had accepted money from her mother for tuition but never enrolled. Police identified her because she used her cellphone for the calls, which prompted the Hamden. Conn., school to delay graduation ceremonies and move them indoors. (New Haven Register)
Two weeks before the death of radio deejay Casey Kasem, 82, the feud between his wife, Jean Kasem, 59, and his daughter, Kerri Kasem, escalated when Kerri arrived at his home in Silverdale, Calif., with an ambulance to take her father to the hospital. While paramedics waited to enter the home, Jean threw a pound of raw hamburger meat at Kerri. She explained that she was following a Bible verse: "In the name of King David, I threw a piece of raw meat into the street in exchange for my husband to the wild rabid dogs." (NBC News)
Roll Out the Barrels
The Ignite Church in Joplin, Mo., encouraged attendance at its Father's Day service by raffling off two AR-15 rifles. To attract males age 18 to 35– "the biggest black hole in our society," pastor Heath Mooneyham said– Sunday services start later than many other churches and feature loud rock music. "We're just dudes," said Mooneyham, who sports tattoos and a short Mohawk, noting that churchgoers got excited about the firearms raffle "because that speaks our language." (The Joplin Globe)
Blowing Smoke
Conservatives are customizing their pickup trucks to spew black smoke into the air to protest environmentalists and Obama administration emissions regulations. The diesel trucks, called "coal rollers," are modified with chimney exhaust stacks and equipment that can force extra fuel into the engine, causing black smoke to pour out. Popular targets of the choking exhaust are drivers of hybrids and Japanese-made cars. "The feeling around here is that everyone who drives a small car is a liberal," a coal roller named Ryan told the online news website Vocativ, which reported that Facebook pages dedicated to rolling coal had 16,000 followers as of July 1. (Business Insider)

Maki Goto, a former member of J-pop group Morning Musume, is a Monster Hunter super fan. She even appeared in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd commercials back in 2011. She loves hunting monsters.
In 2013, Goto claimed on TV that she would play for up to thirty hours straight and that her total Monster Hunter playtime was over 7,000 hours.
On the screen, the words "Actually, it's over 7,000 hours" (see top image) flashed on the screen. Though, if that initial 7,000-hour figure was correct, wouldn't she be at 10,000 hours plus? Probably!
When asked how long she's played Monster Hunter: World. She replied, "Well, hundreds [of hours]. Four hundred to five hundred hours." At most that would be, what, nearly twenty-one days worth of nothing but Monster Hunter: World? For a game that came out in late January, that's a lot.

Dr. Evelyn Orenbuch, DVM has been an advocate for ToeGrips since the company started three years ago and founder Dr. Julie Buzby personally stopped by to give a seminar and demonstration to the staff at Georgia Veterinary Rehabilitation, Fitness and Pain Management.
At the time, a big English sheepdog named Higgins, who needed extra stability for his severely weakened arthritic legs, was the first patient at the rehab clinic to use ToeGrips. The non-slip nail grips made such a significant improvement in the way Higgins walked that three years later Dr. Orenbuch still prescribes them for the now 12-year-old dog.
Dr. Orenbuch is one of the pioneers of the Association of Rehabilitation Veterinarians; serving the organization as a past president. She is also a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist. Her career has been dedicated to the rehabilitation and pain management of dogs, cats, horses and other small animals.
Dr. Orenbuch began her career in rehab veterinary medicine after completing chiropractic training in 2002. Most of her patients at the time were canine athletes that competed in agility. She continues to have a special place in her heart for these four-legged athletes and the Georgia Veterinary Rehab clinic specializes in helping these dogs maintain their strength and flexibility.
Dr. Orenbuch was kind enough to explain the treatments a rehab veterinarian provides and why pets and their owners seek out her help.
What types of patients benefit from veterinary rehabilitation medicine?
The majority of patients who come to the Georgia Veterinary Rehab clinic are older dogs with arthritis, pets with neurological conditions, and dogs with Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD). She also sees pets for post-surgical recovery and soft tissue injuries.
What types of treatments do patients receive?
Some of Dr. Orenbuch's patients include Brody, a Vizsla who was born missing the lower part of his right front leg, a Labrador retriever named Izzy who was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and Bailey, a Doberman-Rottweiler mix who was recovering from surgery to repair two herniated discs.
Dr. Orenbuch is very optimistic about the future of veterinary rehab medicine. She is positive it is a specialty that will be expanding all over the country.
You can read more about Dr. Orenbuch and the treatments her team provides on the Georgia Veterinary Rehabilitation, Fitness and Pain Management website or drop by if you are in the Atlanta/Marietta area. To find a veterinary rehabilitation professional near you, check out the American Association of Rehabilitation Veterinarians directory.
What questions do you have about veterinary rehabilitation medicine and the types of patients helped by ToeGrips?
Please leave a comment below for ToeGrips founder and integrative veterinarian, Dr. Julie Buzby.
My sweet chocolate lab is having some problems with arthritis. How might ToeGrips help her? I love the idea of some alternative treatments, and want to see how Sadie responds to acupuncture too.
Thank you for your interest in Dr. Buzby's ToeGrips for your Lab, Sadie. ToeGrips are designed to give dogs with mobility issues freedom of movement with increased traction. For dogs with arthritis, I think the most valuable asset provided by ToeGrips is the prevention of injury. Every time slipping occurs, the dog has to compensate. This compensation can lead to injuries, as can falling. We have many customers who use ToeGrips on their arthritic dogs with much success. I think Sadie would be an excellent candidate!

The book's contemporariness is obvious in the context of the resurgence of autonomist politics accompanied by street violence/strike in the Darjeeling hills after a brief lull. For any observer of hill politics, it is obvious that the ground reality in the insurgent region has remained largely the same even after the change in the political regime, local organizational leadership and a new player BJP gaining traction in the region. The autonomist politics in the hills, as the book informs us, has not only been confined to the demand for separate statehood within the union but also to be recognized as a distinct ethnic group entitled for state policies of welfare based on the principle of protective /compensatory discrimination. And this politics has unfolded into phases due to mechanization of the state bent upon creating a wedge within the greater Gorkha conglomerate.
they even learn to give up their inherited Hindu /syncretic cultural practices and adhere to Buddhist way of life as being Hindus would come in the way of being classified as tribal by the state and thus would deny them the benefits of state affirmative action system.
were never keen to meet the demand of indigenous but settled community of being recognized as a hill tribe with distinct culture/tradition.
ethnic based autonomy as envisaged in the tripartite agreement between the governments of India and West Bengal and GNLF remained a mirage. All it achieved was to ensure a fragile peace for the next twenty years.
In the first decade of the new millennium, the people's anxieties to be recognized as true and equal citizens of India endowed with equal rights and not as foreigners and at the same time getting rid of the 'corrupting' influence of Hinduism over their identity got a boost with the emergence of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GPLF) led by firebrand Bimal Gurang in 2007. Politics of recognition here also emanated from humiliation felt by Gurang community when a radio DJ mocked the Gorkha community by the Bengali chauvinists expressed in the Indian Idol case and subsequently it led to a clash between the Bengali and the Gorkha community. Then onwards there has been a shift in the focus of local protest. It has since then been mainly the demand for a separate statehood and not autonomy within what the Gorkha minority feel to be Bengali hegemony. Within the Bengali community, there is an element of demographic anxiety which is also played out in the region like elsewhere in India recently as politicization and mobilization of identities continues to get traction from internal cultural politics of the movement that has experienced identi-ficational shifts from Gorkha politics in a quest for recognition as a tribal community and back again to demand for separate statehood. The successive political regimes have stoked the fire using the colonial tricks of creating a wedge within the community by sectarian preferential treatment to certain groups i.e., creation of separate Development and Cultural Boards for the Lepchas and Tamangs, the two tribal communities in the region, ostensibly to wean them away from the GPLF led Gorkhaland Territorial Administration.
The book deserves attention for its methodological brilliance. It is a classic text of ethnography as Middleton over a period of a decade (2006 onwards) engages himself most creatively with two distinct communities namely the Gorkha community looking for recognition as a tribal community and subsequently to achieve their 'own' State and also the West Bengal government anthropologists who have been entrusted with the task of ascertaining the collective claim of the Gorkha community, going to them again and again winning their confidence despite or may be because of being a complete outsider. Narratives used are short and the focus is more on sketching out the particular event in finer detail which is most helpful though a little unusual for ethnographic literature. Middleton is sympathetic but that in no way checks him from telling us the inherent paradox the Gorkha community faces: the need to be accepted as Indian but at the same time becoming/being made increasingly conscious of his/her roots.
One hears the voices of ordinary masses belonging to greater Gorkha ('Nepali') ethnic community, ethnic elites and the government functionaries but then the voices of the non-Gorkha (read Bengali/Biharis/Marwaris, among others) communities is missing as well as the political class/top bureaucrats sitting in the Writers Building in Kolkata. One would have also wished to see the local intelligentsia's views on the tragic saga unfolding over two decades without any hope of near solution. Political developments are mentioned like the ethno-politics of Mamata Banerjee led TMC or new entrant BJP and the recent elections in Darjeeling but not much detail is there. May be that is not the focus of a trained ethnographer. Reading this elegantly written book makes us acutely aware of how ethnic differences in India are 'known, ruled, and lived' and how an ethnic community like the Gorkhas while asking for its 'own' territorial homeland/ autonomy search for rights, autonomy and belonginess.

Olympus Europa Holding GmbH held a press conference during the European Microscopy Congress in Manchester UK to launch its new range of inverted microscopes - the IX3 series, comprising the basic IX53 for cell culture analysis, the IX73 for advanced fluorescence microscopy, and the high-end fully motorized IX83 for advanced research users.
The IX83 allows any user to rapidly and effortlessly obtain expert results, without the need for in-depth microscopy knowledge. This includes reliable long-term time-lapse imaging of living cells, as well as high-end fluorescence applications such as total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy. Every component of the light path, from the illuminator to the optics, is dedicated to imaging of the highest quality with minimal loss of light across a range of brightfield, phase contrast and fluorescent illumination options. This also includes an expanded field of view, increasing the amount of your sample you can reliably capture. With a unique 'open access' frame design and touch panel operating system, users can mould the components and controls to best suit their workflow. In this way, the IX83 microscope systems offer a new level of usability and application flexibility for life science research.
Gunnar Shroeder, General Manager, Product Marketing of the Olympus Micro-Imaging Solutions Division team at the launch, welcomed over 20 European editors to the press conference. Wolfgang Hempell, Section Manager, first gave a detailed overview of the features and applications of the IX3 range. Next, Natalie Bischoff, Wolfgang Hempell, Andreas Pfuhl and Volkmar Prill supervised hands-on sessions on the IX3 microscopes. The press conference concluded with service news from Olympus and a Q&A session.

Q: Can't access working dir after application is installed? I'm working on developing a java application and I'm at the stage where I have an executable jar file that I want to convert into exe/dmg form so users can install it easily. Things are mostly going well, but when I run the program on windows after installation, the working directory is "C://Program Files (x86)/AppName" and I don't have write permission, which means all file operations fail. How do I fix this?
I assume I need to somehow find out which user is running the program and create a directory inside "C://users/user/AppData/Local" or something, but I don't know how to do that, or if that is even the preferred solution.

Allu Arjun celebrates 2 years of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo
The blockbuster Telugu film Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo completed two years since its theatrical release and the lead actors, Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde celebrated the success. While AA shared a few BTS pics to reminisce memories, Pooja shared a video of fans going berserk in the theater watching the most loved song 'Butta Bomma.'
The Allu Arjun and Pooja Hedge starrer of the Trivikram Srinivas directorial, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, which was released in January 2020, was one of the biggest hits of Tollywood. The film and songs have garnered fans from all over the world. The songs from the film made a huge splash among Tollywood, Bollywood and international fans. Celebrities like Shilpa Shetty, Raveena Tandon and cricketer David Warner have all shaken a leg to the hits from the movie.
The movie became such a huge hit that there is going to be a Hindi remake. Reportedly, Rohit Dhawan, son of David Dhawan and brother of Varun Dhawan, will be directing the Hindi remake. The producers of the Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, Allu Aravind and S. Radha Krishna will be co-producing the Hindi remake with noted producer Ekta Kapoor. Reportedly, Kartik Aaryan will step into the shoes of Allu Arjun's character Bantu and Janhvi Kapoor will reprise the role of Pooja Hegde in the Hindi remake.
Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo starred Sushanth, Samuthirakani, Murli Sharma, Tabu, Jayaram and Nivetha Pethuraj appeared in supporting roles. Thaman composed the music which is still a rage among the public even today.

Last month, local businessman Tom Brady Jr., along with his associate Darin Dingham opened up an Ann Arbor location of Jim Brady's after nearly a year's worth of development and planning. This is the second location opened by the two since 2015, when the first Jim Brady's opened its doors to the public in Royal Oak, Mich.
The restaurant served its first meal on December 10. According to Brady, the vibrant culture of the Ann Arbor community was a key factor in the choice to branch out into the area.
Although the interior was only completed within the last year, the structure of the restaurant dates back to 1861. The restaurant is located in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor, close to the intersection of South Main and Liberty streets.
In planning the interior of the restaurant, Brady hoped to capture the energy of the restaurant upon which Jim Brady's was modeled — Diamond Jim Brady's. The well-known Detroit restaurant and bar opened more than six decades ago by Brady's grandfather. Located in downtown Detroit, the restaurant quickly gained popularity and became known for casual food and high-end atmosphere.
Brady recalled the origins of his grandfather's restaurant and its success throughout the '50s and '60s, up until its relocation to Novi in 1990 where it still stands today.
Business sophomore Alais Murillo explained the decades of success of the original restaurant in Detroit could bode well for the future of Jim Brady's in Ann Arbor.
During the year-long process of development, Brady and Dingman worked hard to emulate the atmosphere of the iconic Detroit restaurant, hiring the architecture firm Rossetti and Associates and principal interior designer Kelly Deines to help recreate the 1950s feel.
Scott Behler, an Ann Arbor native who now serves as the general manager of the Ann Arbor location, noted the work that went into finding the people necessary for an optimal restaurant staff.
Executive chef Ian Hockenberger attributed the attention drawn in by the restaurant thus far to the restaurant's quality food and ingredients.
Hockenberger also credited the success of Jim Brady's to the general retro ambiance of the restaurant.
Despite the consumer traffic the location and aesthetics of Jim Brady's has brought since its opening, Brady still credits the majority of his restaurant's success to the energy of his staff and the Ann Arbor community.


I have got my lifestream up and running on Gregarius. I still plan on using Profilactic though. It will be more effective at updating the stream multiple times a day. I could put a cron job on the Gregarius installation but it would have to run often because Twitter is in the stream.
What I do plan on using it for is to serve related content for my sites by serving the feeds of search results. It's a hacked way to do it, but it will work until something better comes along. But the question is how do I get the keywords to create the query.
I have run a few tests. The results are that there is more I need to learn. I have been using MySql fulltext search to pull related data directly from a database. This was before the Gregarious installation. You see the system is not only for related items from feeds but also from affiliate datafeeds.
Pull the tags from the post. Run a fulltext search on the content in the database. And come back with about a 25% success rate on matching. I have no idea why this happens. It would seem that either I am using the wrong seed from the content or that I am using the fulltext search incorrectly. Fulltext can also be slow if there is a lot of content to process.
I thought about the Yahoo API but it just serves up random tags and sometimes a lot of them. What if I only wanted two or three? How will I determine the top two or three words out of a whole post?
Or everything in the system could be tagged dynamically and then a comparison of tags run to find related items? The percentage of similar tags would indicate the possibility of the topic being simlar. The intersection of tags would create a web model of the knowledge in the database rather than the linear one of traditional search results. It seems that I remember Scuttle doing something like this. Once the system got huge though, the databases joins keep using up system resources.
Another way would be to use a structured set of topics, like Wikipedia to create tags. Each item in the database could be grouped around Wikipedia pages.
An old module for PHPnuke found related topics by taking the title of the current post, removing the stop words and then picking a random word from what was left to query the database with. It worked pretty well but I have to think of all possibilities and with the two word titles that some of my posts have, I don't think this one is going to cut it.
A lot of what I have seem from semantic search is not really that innovative. Most of the words pulled out of a post in this way are capitalized to begin with. Think of the objects it maps: People, Places, Companies, etc. Is there anything here not in title case? I knew that was a trigger a long time ago but I knew it only covered a few things. If I look back through this post so far, I see Gregarius, Profilactic, Yahoo API, Scuttle and Twitter. Pulling those words out of this text may pull up some related items but this still is limited.
One way to get rid of some of the noise is using stop words. These are words that search engines and indexing algorithms don't index. They are common words like a, an and the. I thought maybe I could take this one to the extreme.
If the most common words are so common that they can't really indicate anything. Then the most uncommon words must be real indicators. So if I check the concentration of keywords in a body of text, the words that occur least frequently in the text may be heavy indicators. Or I could have a table of the average word occurrences for the English language as a whole to compare against.
As you get closer to the core of a topic, more jargon and technical speak is used to describe it. It's the more general posts that will be hard to peg. But as the least frequent words start bubbling to the top, I would think that there would be a point where the topic match would be locked.
I thought about spam and then I realized it would be a closed loop. Nothing gets in the system that's not let in. But tracking could help. Clicks and traffic could indicate a lock in the matching and this would help make the system more dynamic, adjusting to environment factors. It would also help to choose the best matches when a lot of possible matches are available.
In would also seem that as the system absorbed more content, there would be a possibility that it could perfect itself. If there were 10 articles on Adwords in the database, the keyword pool would be less than if there were 100 articles on Adwords. The matches could be finetuned by similar keyword occurences and the 100 articles on Adwords could be broken down into subnetworks by keyword occurence. I used subnetworks instead of subcategories because I am still looking at a web rather than a line.
And there you have it. Again a list of possibities with no answers. It's what I call thinking before the box. Get everything out that I can think of on a subject, then hit the books. It sets my goal in my mind before I dive into the math. It also gives me a chance to have beginnners luck, that magical state of mind before you become an expert and then have to follow all the rules. I have already found a few PDF's and Books on the subject and if you thought this post was boring. Why am I taking this extreme? For one, if I had no chance to learn something new, I wouldn't be doing it in the first place. Two, I also like studying the mind and as I delve deeper in this subject, I am learning much more than code.
So, when I was finished with this, I decided it was good to have examples of what I am talking about. The two blocks in this post were created using the SimplePie Wordpress plugin. One uses a feed of a tweetscan search. The other uses a Dapp feed of a complex del.icio.us search. Both are cached for 30 minutes so they will evolve and show new links every 30 minutes. This is close to what I am looking to do but with a full lifestream instead of seperate feeds.

Preston is just one of many neighborhoods in Kent that are worth exploring, and, you will need your own ride to check out everything there is to do around the area. Buses or metro, while cheap, may not drive you to right where you want to go. Ridesharing can be convenient, but you may be surprised by how many places they don't serve. Additionally, the cost of going from here to there can start to add up.
If you want convenience for an affordable rate, then you're in the right spot. CarRentals.com works with the top companies. Hertz has over one hundred years of car rental experience and a fleet featuring many of the most popular in the business, like Nissan and Hyundai. With Hertz's history and thousands of franchises worldwide, you know you'll be in great hands.
How do I get the best rates on a Preston Hertz rental car?
What documents do I need when I pick up my rental car in Preston?
What's 's minimum age to rent a car Preston?
Hertz's minimum age to rent a car is 21. Make sure to review Hertz's policy, as there could be added fees if you are under 25 or for larger or higher category rentals in particular.
What kind of Hertz rental car should I get for my trip to Preston?
When cruising through Preston or the rest of the United Kingdom, you will need insurance. Hertz requires that you show proof of insurance before you rent a car. The majority of countries require the driver to have insurance. You may be able to purchase additional insurance through Hertz for your trip, if you think your insurance won't cover you while traveling through the U.K..
Although many of the major card issuers, like American Express or MasterCard, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, they may not cover your rental car if you reserve a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check Hertz's policy before you decide.
Hertz, like several other rental car companies, requires a deposit when you book. The deposit can vary greatly depending on the size of the car. Also, be sure there is enough on your credit card to cover the deposit.
Hertz and most other suppliers give you a full to full tank policy. We encourage returning it topped off. To avoid any added expenses, fill up your tank before returning the rental car to Hertz. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Can I add unlimited mileage when renting a car in Preston?
Many suppliers offer unlimited miles, but you need to make sure it is part of your bundle that you are purchasing. It's helpful to know how much you want to drive so you can plan your trip in advance. Although most rental car suppliers offer unlimited mileage, if it isn't part of your rental agreement, those miles can pile up—and so can the extra cost. You may want to have unlimited miles if you are imagining some road trips to discover everything that Kent has to offer, or even the United Kingdom.
Anything I should make sure to do around Preston?
Once you've checked out Preston, you'll be happy that you have your own car. Not sure where to start your trip? The Lancashire County Museum can make for a fascinating afternoon.

The War is a seven-part American television documentary miniseries about World War II from the perspective of the United States. The program was produced by American filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, written by Geoffrey Ward, and narrated primarily by Keith David.[1] It premiered on September 23, 2007. The world premiere of the series took place at the Palace Theater in Luverne, Minnesota, one of the towns featured in the documentary.[2] It was funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
3 International releases
4 Critical reception
5 Controversy
The series focuses on World War II in a "bottom up" fashion through the lenses of four "quintessentially American towns":
Luverne, Minnesota
Mobile, Alabama
Waterbury, Connecticut
The series recounts the experiences of a number of individuals from these communities as they move through the war in the Pacific, African and European theaters, and focuses on the effect of the war on them, their families and their communities.
A number of notable actors including Adam Arkin, Tom Hanks, Keith David, Samuel L. Jackson, Josh Lucas, Bobby Cannavale and Eli Wallach are heard as voice actors reading contemporary newspaper articles, telegrams, letters from the front, etc. Notable persons including Daniel Inouye, Sidney Phillips, Joe Medicine Crow and Paul Fussell were interviewed.
The full documentary runs 14 hours and was broadcast in seven parts on PBS over two weeks, starting on Sunday, September 23, 2007 and continuing four nights the first week and three nights the second week, from 8 to 10 p.m. (8 to 10:30 p.m. on three nights). The documentary was provided to PBS affiliates in two versions: One with profanity generally prohibited by FCC regulations (including explanations of the acronyms FUBAR and SNAFU) and one without the expletives.[3]
Episodes[edit]
Each episode begins with the introduction:
The Second World War was fought in thousands of places, too many for any one accounting.
This is the story of four American towns and how their citizens experienced that war.
"A Necessary War" (December 1941 – December 1942) September 23, 2007 (2007-09-23)
Introduction to the American entry into World War II. Tells us about the four towns mentioned that Burns selected for its wartime experiences and of the residents of those places. By this time, they have already known of the early initial conflicts of World War II in Europe through newspapers and newsreels, but it was only through the attack on Pearl Harbor that roused an isolationist, unprepared country into mobilizing for war. But setbacks arose: The Philippines fell and with it the internment of Americans at Santo Tomas in Manila and the Bataan Death March. American shipping became easy prey for German U-boats along the American coast and in the Atlantic. But America succeeds in stopping the Japanese advances at Midway and Guadalcanal.
"When Things Get Tough" (January–December 1943) September 24, 2007 (2007-09-24)
With American industry in full production, the United States entered the European war through the North African Campaign where they, together with Allied forces, eventually defeat the Germans in Tunisia despite the initial disaster in the Battle of Kasserine Pass. The air war over Europe and the bombing of Germany. Allied forces commenced the Italian Campaign through the invasions of Sicily and Salerno, punctuated by the experiences of the soldiers from the towns featured. The internment of Japanese Americans is also further discussed.
"A Deadly Calling" (November 1943 – June 1944) September 25, 2007 (2007-09-25)
The American mobilization transformed cities like Mobile, Waterbury, and Sacramento into boom towns. Mobile thrived on its extensive shipyards that employed many African-Americans, but racial segregation hampers the war production effort in the United States, resulting in ugly riots like in Mobile. African-Americans, as well as Japanese-Americans, were nevertheless recruited by the armed forces into combat units and sent into action, though African-American units were still segregated. The American public finally gets to see the bloody sacrifice of their armed forces through pictures published in LIFE: one of these is the dead on the shore of Buna. The American offensive in the Central Pacific begins with the Battle of Tarawa. The grueling and costly battles of Anzio and Monte Cassino in the Italian campaign. Eventually, the Allies triumph and General Clark's forces take Rome.
"Pride of Our Nation" (June–August 1944) September 26, 2007 (2007-09-26)
1944: On D-Day, 1.5 million Allied troops embark on the invasion of France, which, after initial setbacks, succeeded. D-Day is followed by the lengthy Battle of Normandy, which ends after three months with the liberation of Paris. The Marines meanwhile fight a costly battle on the island of Saipan in the Western Pacific. These were punctuated by recollections of the participants of the designated towns. The American public, through radio, the press and newsreels, were normally kept informed of the progress of the war. However, as the war progresses, the dreaded War Department casualty telegrams appear at a fast rate.
"FUBAR" (September–December 1944) September 30, 2007 (2007-09-30)
This episode starts with the mistaken Allied assumption that the war in Europe would be over before the winter of 1944. It covers the disastrous Operation Market Garden; the bloody invasion and battle of Peleliu; the incompetence of General Dahlquist and the rescue of the Lost Battalion by the 442nd during the horrendous Battle of Hürtgen Forest. But there are achievements: General MacArthur returns to the Philippines following the US invasion, much of the Japanese fleet was destroyed at the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the heroism of the Japanese-American 442nd Regimental Combat Team; the thrill of the internees at the Santo Tomas internment camp in Manila in seeing American planes strafing Japanese ships in Manila Bay and the fall of Aachen, the first German city to be captured by the Allies. There are the experiences of African-American servicemen and those of American Indians. But the reality is that the war will not end in 1944, and more ground will have to be covered and lives lost to achieve the ultimate victory.
"The Ghost Front" (December 1944 – March 1945) October 1, 2007 (2007-10-01)
The Germans launch a major surprise offensive in the Ardennes which becomes known as the Battle of the Bulge; the battle develops into the bloodiest of the war for the Americans. The siege of Bastogne and combat stress reaction during the war. The Santo Tomas internment camp is liberated following the Battle of Manila. The Marines assault Iwo Jima. The controversial air war against Japanese and German cities towards the end of the war. The final invasion of Germany and General Patton's attempts to rescue his son-in-law from a German prison camp behind the German lines. There are also insights into the role of medics in combat, pinups and American POWs in Japan. But still, there are newspaper reports of new setbacks and losses, and the endless and unendurable telegrams bearing the bad news from the War Department.
"A World Without War" (March–September 1945) October 2, 2007 (2007-10-02)
The War finally reaches its end: the bloody Battle of Okinawa and the kamikaze attacks. The death of President Roosevelt and the assumption to office of Harry Truman. The Soviets commence their final assault on Berlin. Hitler's suicide and the fall of the Third Reich. The awful reality of Nazi Germany is discovered with the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps and death camps. VE Day following Germany's surrender. The sinking of USS Indianapolis. Plans for the ultimate, long, and bloody conquest of Japan. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The liberation of the American POWs in Japan and VJ Day following the Japanese surrender at the USS Missouri. The episode concludes with the return and reunification of the American fighting men, and the fates of the towns and personalities first featured earlier in this series as they, and the United States, continue with the business of living in a postwar world. Extras: This is followed by David Brancaccio interviewing Ken Burns, Rev. Forbes, and Lynn Novick about what they were attempting to accomplish in this production.
International releases[edit]
In some countries, notably Australia, Switzerland, Austria, France and Germany, The War was released as a 14-episode series. The region 4 DVD release of The War splits the series into 14 episodes, but notes that it is "a seven-part documentary".
Critical reception[edit]
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (May 2008)
Time magazine's James Poniewozik named the series one of the Top 10 New TV Series of 2007, ranking it at no. 9.[4] Alessandra Stanley, writing for the New York Times, gave the series a mixed review, praising it as a "respectful, moving and meticulously illustrated anthology of small-town lives turned upside down by what one elderly veteran calls 'a necessary war,'" while also faulting it for "view[ing] the Second World War as a mostly domestic concern" in which "the London blitz, Stalingrad, Bergen-Belsen and the Warsaw uprising are parentheses."[5] Slate's Beverly Gage echoed these thoughts saying "it's rousing and meaningful and not technically inaccurate, but not exactly the whole truth." [6]
Controversy[edit]
The War came under fire after previews during the editing process indicated no mention of the contributions of Hispanics to the war effort, whose representation in the war itself is estimated at up to half a million people; complaints followed later as to omissions of Hispanic and Native American contributions and those of women in uniform.[7][8][9] Originally the premiere was scheduled for September 16, 2007; the fact that this date is both Mexican Independence Day and the start of U.S. observance of National Hispanic Heritage Month drew additional fire from its detractors, and the initial airdate was later moved to September 23, 2007, with no comment from PBS.[10]
Although at first the dispute seemed to be settled with the inclusion of additional footage to address the omission, in subsequent weeks, groups began to question conflicting reports from Burns and PBS as to whether the additional footage would be provided as supplementary material or would be integrated into the overall program.[11][12][13] Burns initially insisted that re-editing the series was out of the question, with PBS defending that decision on the basis of artistic freedom. Over the months of May and June, as of mid-July, 2007, estimates put out by Burns suggested that additional footage showing interviews with two Hispanics and one Native American would be added to the series, for a total of 28 minutes additional footage to the 14 hours the program was originally planned to cover; the additional footage would air at the conclusion of the selected episodes, but before each episode's final credits.[14]
News outlets began to report as of July 11 that the additional content had not been included in materials made available for preview by television writers and critics, prompting renewed discussion and speculation as to the eventual outcome of the debate.

Home Politics Katie Porter faces complaint over reaping benefits of university 'subsidized affordable housing'
Katie Porter faces complaint over reaping benefits of university 'subsidized affordable housing'
FIRST ON FOX: Embattled Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif., is facing a Federal Elections Commission (FEC) complaint alleging she is continuing "to reap the benefits" of the University of California at Irvine's "subsidized affordable housing" even though she is not a full-time staff member.
The Committee to Defeat the President — an anti-Biden political action committee (PAC) that started in 2013 as the Stop Hillary PAC — filed its FEC complaint against Porter on Friday.
"Embroiled in scandals, Rep. Porter needs to be held accountable to American voters, and the Committee will stop at nothing to demand accountability," Ted Harvey, chairman of the Committee to Defeat the President, told Fox News Digital.

"It's time to drain the Washington swamp for good, and that starts with calling out left-wing hypocrites like Porter," Harvey said.
"Once again, woke progressives like Rep. Porter are happy to receive government-funded salaries, benefits, and now subsidized housing for themselves, while driving our economy into the gutter and doing everything possible to squelch opposition," Dan Backer, counsel to the Committee to Defeat the President, told Fox News Digital.
"Porter should pay her fair share like everyone else," Backer added.
Fox News Digital exclusively obtained the FEC complaint filed by the committee, which alleges Porter continues "to reap the benefits of subsidized affordable housing in a pricey housing market" after taking office in 2019.
"Prior to becoming a Congresswoman, Porter was a law professor at the University of California Irvine ('UC Irvine')," the complaint said. "As a UC Irvine law professor, she took advantage of a housing benefit for university employees and purchased a home in University Hills, an academic community on the UC Irvine campus developed to provide affordable housing to 'eligible full-time employees.'"
"The median home values in University Hills are significantly below the median home price in Irvine and there is a waiting list for this significant housing benefit," it said. "In fact, while Porter was being recruited by UC Irvine in 2009, she joined the University Hills waiting list and delayed joining the faculty until housing became available in 2011."
The committee wrote that eligibility "for University Hills residency is dependent on UC Irvine employment" and pointed out "Porter was elected to Congress in 2018, took office in 2019, and has been on unpaid leave from UC Irvine since 2019."
"Thus, although Porter has not been an active 'full-time' employee at UC Irvine since 2019, she continues to reap the benefits of subsidized affordable housing in a pricey housing market," the complaint said.

Porter's campaign did not immediately responded to Fox News Digital's request for comment, but UC Irvine did, and said Porter is a "UCI faculty member on an approved leave without pay."
"Faculty members on approved leaves without pay remain UCI employees, and as such they can maintain their homes in University Hills," a UCI spokesperson said. "Those who take these leaves without pay generally do so to perform outside work in academia or industry … or in public service, as is the case with Porter."
The spokesperson also rejected the argument that UCI provided "subsidized" housing. "Home prices there are below market value because of the university maintains ownership of the land and leases it to the homeowners – because of this ground lease, homeowners own their houses but not the land beneath it. As a result, home prices remain below-market."
Porter's newly-announced bid for Senate is off to a rocky start as the congresswoman finds herself embroiled in scandal. The congresswoman has found herself taking heat for how she treated a veteran and former staffer in July for allegedly violating "office protocols" by catching COVID-19.
Porter was also accused of making rude and racist comments to staff and "ridiculed people for reporting sexual harassment."

Porter responded to the allegations by trying to soften her image amid her tumultuous campaign kickoff.
In just her first week in the fray, the California congresswoman responded to the allegations of a toxic work environment during an interview Thursday, where she said she is "willing to expect people to work hard."
"But let's be clear, of course I want their best effort. Of course, I want my best effort," Porter said on the "Pod Save America" podcast. "The American people deserve no less."
"I regret if this employee feels disgruntled. She finished her term in her fellowship. It was a two-year fellowship. I enjoyed working with her," the congresswoman continued, referencing the allegations first posted by the Dear White Staffers Instagram account. "And I'm excited to continue to get to work with my staff on this campaign and on the official side."
"I'm willing to expect people to work hard. I work hard, and I think that's what the American people should expect," she added.
Porter also made headlines in October when text messages between her and Irvine, California, Mayor Farrah Khan, were published that showed the Democrat Senate hopeful berated the city mayor and insulted the city police department.

The texts followed a fight that broke out at the congresswoman's July 2021 town hall that saw the man Porter lives with arrested.
In the texts, Porter criticized Khan by saying she would not call the mayor after Julian Willis was arrested after he allegedly punched a pro-Trump protester, giving the protester a bloody nose.
"You can lecture me on professionalism. And see what happens," Porter wrote after she famously wore a Batgirl Halloween costume to the House of Representatives on the same day Democrats voted for a resolution on ground rules for the impeachment inquiry surrounding then-President Donald Trump.
Porter also trashed the Irvine police department after the arrest, calling the force a "disgrace" and that she "will never trust them again."

Introduction to Exports- Mr. K.Venkatachalam , KVP Exports.


As cities become more and more chock-a-block, developers are looking at evolving peripheral areas in a way that customers would love to live in.If you were in Mumbai, looking for a home, and someone suggested you a place on the outskirts to live in, what would your reaction be? Perhaps, that of non-agreement. After all, we have this notion that living on the outskirts of a city more or less equals to residing in a gaaon, with limited facilities and amenities. However, now that is changing, thanks to a novel concept. Welcome to the model of integrated township, where life on the outskirts is just as easy as in the city. For those unaware, the concept of integrated living focuses not only on the property but also the aspect of infrastructure within the project. The key feature of these integrated townships is that they offer customers with more than just a house. When buying a home here, buyers get access to several amenities like a gymnasium, swimming pool, a shopping arcade, park, etc. The kind of features depends on the type of the project and the developer's plan. This concept has caught up so fast in the real estate sector in the last few years that more projects are being presented to prospective buyers as integrated townships.
So, why do we need integrated townships? For starters, the pace at which our cities are expanding, land in central areas would be exhausted, leaving the peripheries to be used. Because these areas may not have as much amenities as the central areas in the city, the concept of an integrated township is an excellent as well as the plausible solution. With the onus of infrastructure development on the developers, this concept could help decongest the central areas of the city, giving people an option to settle elsewhere without compromising on their lifestyle. Integrated townships fulfill a lot of your needs, all within a walkable distance. A lot of them provide healthcare centres, schools, shopping centres, sports facilities, gyms, recreational spaces and a lot more! With so many facilities available in your residence itself, you save time and need to go elsewhere. The availability of all these makes an integrated township ideal for both the young and the old, for children will have their parks and elders will have their recreational centres in the vicinity.
Since a lot of these townships are located in areas far off from the cities, they become an urban oasis. Away from the corporate jungle, they will be nestled in nature and will be replete with landscaped gardens, lakes and lush green lawns. Now, this is something that's rare to find in a highly saturated city. Apart from providing buyers with these benefits, integrated townships make for a great opportunity for investment, since there is a surging interest in them compared to standalone properties, which translates into higher returns. Moreover, the presence of vast commercial space alongside residential units will drive more demand, leading to a higher appreciation. Hence, while cities continue to expand, these could provide a better option, without giving up on your standard of living.

Lebanese Journalist Awarded U.N. Prize
Posted By The Media Line Staff On March 30th 2006 @ 3:49 am In News
The United Nations has named May Chidiac, a Lebanese journalist who was severely wounded in an attempt on her life, the winner of a prize celebrating press freedom.
Chidiac was a popular anchorwoman for the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation, a Christian-owned channel which has been outspoken against Syria's domination of Lebanon.
She was wounded on September 25, 2005 when assailants planted a bomb under her car which exploded as she turned on the ignition. She suffered severe burns all over her body and had a leg and an arm amputated.
The international community condemned the attack which was part of a series of bombings against outspoken anti-Syrian figures in Lebanon.
Director General of the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Koïchiro Matsuura designated Chidiac winner of the UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize 2006, on the recommendation of an international jury of media professionals.

May Chidiac "owes her popularity as much to her professionalism as to her direct and open approach in a country traumatized by years of war," UNESCO said.
The prize honors the work of an individual or an organization defending or promoting freedom of expression anywhere in the world, especially if this action puts the individual's life at risk.
Following domestic and international pressure, Syria ended its 29-year presence in Lebanon in April 2005, but many fear that pro-Syrian elements remain in Lebanon and are trying to undermine the country's stability.

Newcastle upon Tyne may well be the biggest of all the cities within north-easterly England, but in spite of its rapid expansion, this exciting city has managed to retain much of its 19th-century character and appeal. Many historical streets in Newcastle lead towards the famous River Tyne and contrast with its modern bridges and high-rise riverfront hotels.
Wherever you choose to stay in Newcastle, the underground Metro network of subway trains means that is it easy to reach the port and any other chosen destination from most accommodation. For the cheapest lodging likely to be available, head to the very pleasant suburb of Jesmond, which lies directly to the north-east of the city centre and features a notable pocket of reliable hotels along its Osborne Road.
Some of the most popular accommodation Newcastle has to offer includes the Quality Hotel Newcastle Upon Tyne, situated in the heart of the city; the Royal Station Hotel, located in the city centre; and the two-star Rowers Hotel in Gateshead, a good budget hotel, situated about 3 km / 2 miles outside of the city environs. Alternatively, if your budget is tight, the Newcastle YHA Hostel on Jesmond Road may be of interest, along with the North East YWCA on Clayton Road.
For the best waterfront views, the aptly named Waterside Hotel on Sandhill overlooks the Quayside and is an appealing heritage listed building. Nearby Newcastle and to the south, further lodging in available in the neighbouring city of Gateshead.
