I understand that the AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 is the best bang for the buck and is better than my i5 4690. So I figure I might as well build me a AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 computer, not that I need one but because I'm bored and will build it to learn mostly. So by building that computer I figure I will study each component and take about a hundred hours on it just to be doing something. I understand that the RAM takes 3200 and I guess that is the what I should put in? Also I only want to put in 8 GB's of Ram because I never seen my computers come close to using 8 GB's of Ram so putting in 16 GB's of RAM for me would only serve as an ego boots and I can always put in the other 8 GB's of RAM at a later date. So I'm figuring on Kingston Technology HyperX Predator Black 8GB Kit 3200MHz DDR4 which comes in 2X4 GB's and for only $100. Any options or ideas and am I on the right track?
The RAM needs to be at least 2666 or higher, so 3200 is good.
not that I need one but because I'm bored and will build it to learn mostly.
If you're just building to learn & sort of have no other purpose. Why not make a computer in a smaller form factor and turn it into say a kodi media center or even a hidden in the corner Samba server. Stream your music and other stuff easily to all your other computers.
I have a AMD 955 which is 7 1/2 years old which I could do what your saying. I have amazon prime with fire TV, Netflix and antina TV so I'm not sure if kodi is right for me? I have a home network where all my computer share everything so I'm not sure how a Samba server would help me?
Use it how you want, it was just a suggestion.
As for a antenna for a TV, Kodi can handle that with MythTV or various other frontends and act as a DVR. Of course you then have to add in a capture device that works with one of the plugins and maybe buy a decent sized HDD depending on how much TV you're recording. I do this very thing and have no cable, Netflix, Hulu, or any streaming services.
Also, that AMD 955, might do a server, but not really be a good play back machine. At least not for some resolutions, bit rates, and with select codecs in containers. I would never want to hevc 10-bit with say flac audio in AVC/MKV on that machine. The buffering would be a nightmare.
I use a Athlon ii x2 250 machine for 4k hevc playback and it does so perfectly, because it has a 1050 with hardware acceleration . This seems to work great on most web explorers and media players, but I guess there will be a few programs out there that don't play nice with hardware acceleration or straight up don't support it.
I also have my old q9550 gaming machine in my bedroom, replaced the gtx680 with an RX460 a while back, just finished watching Fargo in 4k h.265, not sure if it was in 8-bit or 10-bit without looking .
media players, but I guess there will be a few programs out there that don't play nice with hardware acceleration or straight up don't support it.
Web browser playback is highly butchered. For example, you render a video and upload it to YouTube and then YouTube butchers it more in the process stage. (Though I will admit VP9 isn't horrid). The idea is to stream within the limitations of bandwidth. Heck even Netflix doesn't provide the same bit-rate playback as a true Bluray disc.
Media Players do differ, but you're also avoiding the issue here. We're talking about streaming fully uncompressed media with heavy flac to raw PCM and 10bit over a network to your media player using Samba. Playing a video directly isn't as much of a chore from the disc. (Also no network involved or various other hiccups). Then circling back to your, "Hardware Acceleration" suggestion, well that can be hit or miss depending on your GPU on any software. I've had integrated graphics get it in some players, but just get nothing on some dedicated GPU's. (I've seen this on both Windows and Linux machines on various players).
Fargo isn't even 4k. The series and old movie are on Blu-ray, but are only 1080p. If anything is 4k you're doing an upscale or your source has been repackaged and cropped to upscale. You're sort of doing the equivalent to adaptive resolution in video games.
True, in this instance hardware acceleration may not even be needed as even older cpu's may be able to cope.

I'm not avoiding anything, your talking about a samba server, sorry but I'm not, I didn't even mention it, I don't even know this program, but as it happens that I do use file server and I stream everything from it. If we are talking about a lan server, then gigabit networking is pretty much standard these days and transfer rates are around 100 megabytes a second, which means a 90 minute film would need to be larger than about 540GB (90mins=5,400 seconds × 100mbps = 540,000mb or 540gb) to max out a gigabit network, so I don't see how networking is an issue. Its simple for the server to send the data to the client pc and then the client pc has the hard task of playing back the video, if the cpu is not up to the task then a media player that supports hardware decoding can be used.

Yes, I stated a GTX1050 and a RX460, but most new gpu's have the same support and simply use the hit software.
It is when the uploader has uploaded it that way, video details: H.265 MPEG-H 3840 x 2160 and each episode is around 4gb.

I'm not trying to be rude there. It's just you cherry picked what I said. My reply was within using Samba and Kodi and you turned it into sort of Netflix and web browser topics. Nothing to do with anything I was saying. A potato with a power cord can run most all that web based stuff. Heck when a Raspberry Pi, Roku, et cetera can do Netflix, YouTube, and more you know it's not much of a problem.
Ugh, you're not being realistic hear. SMB has overhead (like any FTP style protocol) and IO limits of a HDD are real. RAID could help, but it's not going to just make it unstoppable. You're still looking at slower speed due to SATA limits as well. The dated hardware sure as heck does not have SATA 6GB so you take a hit there slightly. You can have a 16GB fiber line and be capping out at say 200Mbps just because of the drive. (Then if you do what I do and put a disc in a drive and use software just to stream the disc content while it plays back there is also limitations to that, but that's not just Samba at that point).
.... Why just why.... I mean why would you want to watch an upscaled version of a video. When you upscale you make things look worse. Then you're uploading it to some player that's processing it to a web acceptable format degrading it more. If that isn't what you mean and this is some kind of uploader as in torrent, then I'm not going down that road. Though a 1080p from source isn't magically better when upscaled & you don't even know the codecs they used. If they used DSD you could be looking at a huge file size just from that. DSD for just a small album of short songs can be 1GB+. Then the provider just used Handbrake or other software to encode the sound per se to a Dolby or AAC output. (Though that is all I will get into on the subject of that).
I'm not trying to be rude there.
I'm happy to hear, I too am not trying to be rude, just trying to make my point clear .
My reply was within using Samba and Kodi and you turned it into sort of Netflix and web browser topics.
I'm talking about LAN and WAN content. If these programs can't take advantage of hardware acceleration then someone using a weak cpu could use something that does. You said that you didn't think an AMD 955 would make a good playback machine and that using one would be a buffering nightmare and I'm saying that it doesn't need to be this way, a cheap new gpu could turn a machine into a perfectly good playback machine, bearing in mind that an old machine would need to be upgraded with a HDMI 2.0 compatible GPU if 4k 60hz output is wanted over HDMI.
A potato with a power cord can run most all that web based stuff. Heck when a Raspberry Pi, Roku, et cetera can do Netflix, YouTube, and more you know it's not much of a problem.
If true, then this supports my claim that an old cpu would make a perfectly good playback machine.
Ugh, you're not being realistic hear. SMB has overhead (like any FTP style protocol) and IO limits of a HDD are real.
I use gigabit lan with a windows file server running 7200rpm hdd's and I get 100mb+ transfer speeds to the clients. Most hdd's are capable of 100-200mbps transfer speeds, but if there are hundreds/thousands of tiny files to transfer then it of course slows down a lot, but transfer speeds of single large files like video files can be transferred very fast.
Doesn't need it, even IDE could get close to maxing a lot of hdd's at around 133mbps and then we got sata 150mbps and sata2 300mbps, hdd's haven't got much faster over the years, so to max out just sata2 you would need raid or even an ssd. The AMD 955 was released in 2008 and sata2 has been around since 2004, so a computer of this era should be able to push a hdd to the max no problem.
Honestly I didn't know Fargo wasn't done in 4k, but this upscaled version did look very nice, but probably not worth the extra size, but I recently got an additional 8tb of storage for my server, so all is good.
I very much disagree, displays can upscale signals e.g. 1080p to 4k and picture quality can be noticeably improved and the same can be for video content, but when done incorrectly it can look worse.
Then you're uploading it to some player that's processing it to a web acceptable format degrading it more.
Yes, this would be an example of a bad situation to upscale.
If that isn't what you mean and this is some kind of uploader as in torrent, then I'm not going down that road.
I'm in Spain and region locked, also with few English viewing options, there is no other road, even when willing to pay.
Though a 1080p from source isn't magically better when upscaled & you don't even know the codecs they used.
True, but its an uploader I recognise and his uploads do look better imo than normal 1080p.
If you would like to send me a link to a test file of your choice (4k h.265 etc), I will put it on my server and try to stream it and I will take a video of how it performs ok?
I have a few older cpu's I can test if you would like: E6600, Q8200, Q9550, AMD x2 250, 550, 620 and 955, I can pair these with either the 1050 or 460, your choice. I have a lot of tech from 2006 onward, so I can test most scenarios, so please give me one.
I understand that, but as I said if acceleration works out. I have seen acceleration turn screens green on Windows using stuff like PowerDVD, Kodi, et cetera. Sorry, but that's not functional and it isn't always an option. Which is the point you've been missing. I didn't go into as deep of detail, but still saying.
I'm talking about LAN and WAN content.
I get that, but I've been talking about SMB + Kodi from the get go and always have been. You're the only one turning it into other protocols & software.
Not at all. Again, possibly for web content, but no for a solution I have been getting at. Local play on even a Raspberry Pi 3 starts to choke. Web content is a different story. Because it has no real physical hardware decoder for hevc. It relays on software alone.
then it of course slows down a lot, but transfer speeds of single large files like video files can be transferred very fast.
Again, I'm talking about more than just large file transfer over your choose of protocol. SMB is slower than say NFS due to security measures and Kodi isn't just an playback media player. It pulls tons of media date you store via your share folder. If you're storing everything local it pulls actor photos, bookmarks, meta data, cover art, disc art, et cetera. Otherwise it pulls everything from a scraper here and there. All while running in a fairly customized GUI that can hit your system slightly with how you set the options. (Some systems more than others of course). Also, Kodi as say a DE has its own compositor. It does do some forms of caching data, but by default it doesn't do large amounts. Mainly because Kodi is designed to be a multi-OS and platform player that spans from Android devices, Amazon's stuff, Nvidia Shield, Raspberry Pi, Windows, GNU/Linux, et cetera. You can slightly fix this to speed things up, but that requires you to edit config files. Which I'm sure the average joe isn't doing. Regardless, I've been talking media center plus SMB style stuff from the get go. Nothing else nothing more. (There are things like Plex, but I refuse to use that. I do not like the way things are done so I can't completely comment to indepth on it).
Some people like filters I guess. I've done edits of projects I've made with such filters. Stuff right off my camera I filmed. I sure do not like stuff like Lapsharp, HQDN3D, et cetera when it's not needed. It makes it a bit more smudged and decolored than the original. It tries to hide the lack of pixels. When something isn't shot in that resolution, you can't just add quality because it injects fixes for the missing pixels. Regardless, what looks and sounds good in the end is just subjective I suppose. If you like it, you like it. I'm not here trying to change your mind really. I've got better things to do than try and force you to not like filtering, lol. All I can say is I could probably bare it for such a white snow movie. I mean, at least the movie isn't in the Jungle or I would probably just destroy it right then and there. (If you didn't know the human eye can see more shades of green than any other color. That filters and other methods of degrading the image would murder it for me. Specially on my 10bit panels).
As mentioned before, I'm not torrenting. Find something on your own if you're wanting to test something. I buy all my media physically. I will admit when I was younger I was into the torrent thing with MP3's. Well not so much torrenting then, but Napster and other nonsense. Regardless, I've grown up and have the money to spend so I have the faintest clue of what is out there. Also, let's not get this thread locked for OP's sake with your talks of torrents.
Honestly, I think this topic has been hijacked enough. I've clearly stated again and again I'm focused on my reply about Kodi + Samba. Case closed detective. I'm sort of fine talking all the non-related stuff via PM. Though, I still hold the I'm not getting into torrents subject. I don't participate in it now and never will. Well outside of Linux ISO's, but that's all setup via the distros themselves and the OS's are completely free.
As I said not replying after this. If you feel you have to win or something go for it. You win, here is your prize, wasted time, lol.
Hardware acceleration isn't an IF, its a feature that works well, if some programs are not coded properly to use it or simply don't support it then that's the failing of the programmers, not the hardware. I personally have no problems getting hardware acceleration to work as its so easy and its supported out of the box by many programs, if powerdvd and kodi are coded so poorly then I would think twice about using them, there are many other free solutions that do work perfectly.
That's fine and it may not work in those programs, but just because they aren't coded well doesn't mean an AMD 955 machine wont make a good playback machine, this is my only contention, an AMD 955 can easily be a perfectly functional playback machine.
I'm sorry, but this is a contradiction. I would say that being capable of web playback is an important component of any playback machine, anyway I do understand you only concerned with smb and kodi local playback. You are stating that just because an AMD 955 can't give good playback with these programs it means its a bad playback machine, this is simply untrue.
I have only been trying to tell you since my first post that an old machine can be used for video playback, I understand you are talking about smb and kodi, but I didn't bring them up because I wasn't ever talking about them.
It pulls tons of media date you store via your share folder. If you're storing everything local it pulls actor photos, bookmarks, meta data, cover art, disc art, et cetera.
Ok, so after a short time all the media data has been pulled to the client, its only a few pics and text, there might be a lot of it, but size wise is not very large when compared to the video files and it isn't being constantly pulled, its loaded and its done, after that its then free to play the video file. I have about 500 films and I used to use kodi, if I remember correctly the client stored a lot of the data locally and just needed the video file streamed.
I'm sorry but I didn't bring it up, you did lol . I can give my money to a company that illegally provides English tv or I can do it myself for free, money isn't a problem, but I can't legally pay for the services I want, so who's fault is that.
Some people like filters I guess. I've done edits of projects I've made with such filters. Stuff right off my camera I filmed. I sure do not like stuff like Lapsharp, HQDN3D, et cetera when it's not needed. It makes it a bit more smudged and decolored than the original. It tries to hide the lack of pixels. When something isn't shot in that resolution, you can't just add quality because it injects fixes for the missing pixels. Regardless, what looks and sounds good in the end is just subjective I suppose. If you like it, you like it. I'm not here trying to change your mind really.
I don't know much about video upscale editing done to video files, I just know that download was much better than others, but the upscaling methods used by some panels are great, my 4k tv upscales 1080p signals from my, xbox, xbox 360, ps3 and ps4 and wow they look way sharper than any 1080p panel I've seen and its not just me, many friends have commented how much better these 1080p systems look on my 4k tv.
I have found an LG sample video, its HEVC 10.bit H.265 in mkv format, I will try this.


NHL.com is providing in-depth analysis for each of its 31 teams throughout August. Today, three questions facing the New York Islanders.
The New York Islanders took a step back last season and failed to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. They should have one of the more formidable top lines in the Eastern Conference, with John Tavares at center between Anders Lee and Jordan Eberle. But trading Travis Hamonic to the Calgary Flames for NHL Draft picks leaves a rather large hole on defense.
Doug Weight is preparing for his first training camp as Islanders coach after guiding them to a 24-12-4 record during the final 40 games last season.
1. Can Jaroslav Halak reclaim the No. 1 goaltending job?
After clearing waivers and being demoted to Bridgeport of the American Hockey League on Dec. 31, Halak returned to the Islanders and won his last five starts from March 31-April 8, nearly helping them clinch a playoff berth.
Halak is entering the final season of the four-year, $18 million contract ($4.5 million average annual value) he signed in 2014. Thomas Greiss, who appeared to wear down a bit during the second half of last season, signed a three-year contract extension reportedly valued at $10 million ($3.33 million average annual value) Jan. 30.
"Jaro's proven since he's gotten here that he's a great goaltender," Weight said. "He played at a high level [when he returned from Bridgeport]. He came in and he did well. I'm excited to see him in camp."
2. Can Ryan Pulock emerge as a top-four defenseman?
With Hamonic traded to the Flames on June 24, Pulock, a first-round pick (No. 15) in the 2013 NHL Draft, likely will receive the first crack at replacing him in the lineup.
Pulock, a right-handed shot and power-play specialist, was injured on his first shift with the Islanders last season during a game against the Arizona Coyotes on Oct. 21. He didn't play in the NHL again but did have 46 points (15 goals, 31 assists) in 55 games for Bridgeport. He has four points (two goals, two assists) in 16 NHL games the past two seasons.
"I think Ryan's a stud," Weight said. "He's going to be an NHL defenseman. It's going to be a huge training camp. We've got nine [defensemen] that we look at and they're NHL defensemen in my mind, and he's one of them. I expect great things and hope it's soon."
3. Will John Tavares' contract situation become a distraction?
Tavares, the Islanders captain and face of their franchise, is entering the final season of a contract that has an average annual value of $5.5 million. He's been eligible to sign an extension since July 1, but an agreement on a contract has yet to be reached.
The questions regarding his future likely will be asked every day until Tavares signs an extension or becomes an unrestriced free agent July 1, 2018. It's hard to envision the situation impacting Tavares' day-to-day approach, but it'll be interesting nonetheless to see how he handles the process.
"It's only a distraction if you let it become a distraction," Tavares told Newsday. "It's not something that every single day I stress and worry about. I'm trying to just be myself, prepare for the season like any other season. Try to be the best captain I can be, the best player I can be for the Islanders and be the best teammate I can be.
"I think everybody knows me pretty well, how I approach things. I think some of that comes from the media standpoint and I understand why the questions get asked. But at the same time all I can control, and all we can control as a team, is how we approach every day and how we can get better and achieve our ultimate goal."
Tavares, the No. 1 pick at the 2009 NHL Draft, has 537 points (235 goals, 302 assists) in 587 NHL games, all with New York.
"He's grown up in our organization. We think the world of him," general manager Garth Snow said. "We want him to retire as an Islander."

Homeland Security reiterates dangers of illegal border crossing after migrant girl, 7, reported dead
By Bradford Betz | Fox News
7-year-old migrant child dies in Border Patrol custody
The Department of Homeland Security expressed its "sincerest condolences" Thursday after reports that a 7-year-old Guatemalan girl died last week after more than eight hours in custody of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
In a statement, DHS said CBP agents "took every possible step to save the child's life under the most trying of circumstances."
"Unfortunately, despite our best efforts and the best efforts of the medical team treating the child, we were unable to stop this tragedy from occurring," the statement continued.
DHS also noted the risks inherent in attempting to enter the U.S. illegally.
"Once again, we are begging parents to not put themselves or their children at risk attempting to enter illegally," the statement said. "Please present yourselves at a port of entry and seek to enter legally and safely."
"Once again, we are begging parents to not put themselves or their children at risk attempting to enter illegally. Please present yourselves at a port of entry and seek to enter legally and safely."
— Department of Homeland Security statement
The girl had reportedly been traveling with her father and a group of 163 people before crossing the U.S.-Mexico border on Dec. 6. After crossing the border, the group approached agents to turn themselves in.
FEDS FIND GIRL, 2, STRAPPED TO CHEST OF TEEN BOY CAUGHT CROSSING US-MEXICO BORDER
The girl died of dehydration and shock more than eight hours after she was arrested by agents near Lordsburg, N.M., according to an agency statement released to the Washington Post.
CBP said the girl had not eaten or consumed water in several days. It's unknown what happened to the girl during the eight hours before she started having seizures and was flown to an El Paso, Texas, hospital.
The girl's death is under investigation by the Customs and Border Protection's Office of Professional Responsibility and the inspector general.
The agency's detention facilities are meant to be temporary and hold a small number of people. When a Border Patrol agent arrests someone, that person gets processed at a facility but usually spends no more than 72 hours in custody. But processing 163 immigrants in one night likely posed challenges for the agency.

The Border Patrol has seen an increasing trend of large groups of immigrants, many with young children, walking up to agents and turning themselves in. Most are Central American and say they are fleeing violence in their home countries. They turn themselves in instead of trying to circumvent authorities, many with plans to apply for asylum.
Agents in Arizona see groups of more than 100 people on a regular basis, sometimes including infants and toddlers. Arresting such groups poses logistical problems for agents who have to wait on transport vans that are equipped with baby seats to take them to processing facilities, some which are at least a half-hour north of the border.
TODDLER'S DEATH AFTER LEAVING IMMIGRATION FACILITY LEADS TO $40 MILLION LEGAL CLAIM
The death of the 7-year-old girl comes after a toddler died in May just after being released from an ICE family detention facility in Texas, and as the Trump administration attempts to ban people from asking for asylum if they crossed the border illegally. A federal appeals court has temporarily blocked that ban, but the administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate it Tuesday.

We are monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on APAC High Resolution Melting Analysis Market Get in touch with us for detailed analysis Know More
APAC High Resolution Melting Analysis Market
Asia Pacific High Resolution Melting Analysis Mark . . . .
Asia Pacific High Resolution Melting Analysis Market Research Report – Segmented By Product And Service, Application, End User & By Country (India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore and Rest of APAC) - Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Trends & Growth Forecast (2021 to 2026)
APAC High-Resolution Melting Analysis Market Size (2021 to 2026)
The High-Resolution Melting Analysis Market size in the Asia Pacific was valued at USD 58.47 million in 2021. It is further projected to be growing at a CAGR of 5.2% and worth USD 75.34 million by 2026.
Due to developing applications in epigenetics, more significant R&D funding, and digitalization of mutations, high-resolution melting analysis is becoming increasingly popular. HRM analysis has several benefits, including the elimination of probes, the use of a closed-tube system, the prevention of contamination post-PCR, and the ability to analyze melting profiles with high precision. Due to numerous prominent businesses are doing research and development in this industry, the APAC high-resolution melting analysis market is predicted to grow effectively. In addition, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized several therapies customized to a patient's genomic profile or the genetic makeup of their tumor.
Factors such as rising chronic illness prevalence, increasing desire for personalized medication and supporting government efforts are projected to boost the HRM analysis market in the APAC region majorly. Precision medicine is a healthy and creative way of preventing and treating diseases that consider a patient's genetic composition, lifestyle, and environment. Precision medicine is gaining traction in the new era of next-generation sequencing (NGS), genomics, and big data analysis. Furthermore, the FDA has already addressed several therapies to address specific aspects of a patient's tumor, such as genetic composition or genomic profile. As a result, HRM analysis is expected to expand in the following years. Growth potential in biotechnology research, well-established reimbursement procedures, and growing government funding in academic institutions are all factors to consider. A favorable regulatory framework is also vital for the growth of the educational research sector. Furthermore, the OECD reports that due to the importance of intellectual property, the number of patents awarded in biotechnology has increased significantly. Therefore, the need for human resource management products in the academic research segment is predicted to rise as molecular biology, biotechnology, and medical advances.
However, technological barriers associated with HRM-QPCR analysis are expected to limit the market's growth. The APAC HRM testing market is under severe threat from Data storage concerns, decreased prices for other genotyping technologies, and expected reductions in alternative genotyping methods contributing to the market's growth.

Winchester rocks out at Legacy Nights
Published 9:00 am Friday, August 26, 2022

As the school year started, it may have been tempting for some to think summer was winding down.
However, you wouldn't know it from the vibe that filled the air on Tuesday night in Winchester.
At Legacy Grove Park, another Legacy Nights Concert Series event took place with music, vendors, and more to keep others entertained while showcasing top talent.
"This is the fourth in our series. We have a total of six", said Deborah Jackson, the executive director of Legacy Greenscapes. "We just wanted to bring the community together around music, food, and play, and so that's why we created this concert series."
The concert was initially scheduled for Aug. 9th, but the event had been postponed due to concerns involving inclement weather and also because it was thought it might be beneficial to wait until after school started.
Beginning at 5:30 p.m., singer-songwriter Jayce Turley played some original work to start the night.
The 17-year-old from Greenup County was making his first trip to Legacy Grove Park.
"I do mostly country, Americana type of music," Turley said. "It's been a few days since I've done anything. It's nice to get back out again."
Later in the evening, the Night Flyer Band took to the stage to perform.
As a tribute band for The Eagles, the group entertained the crowd with classics such as "Desperado," "Witchy Woman," and "Take It Easy."
Tuesday's gathering also brought out various vendors and local organizations.
Near the street near the park, food trucks for Bell on Wheels, and Mama D's, whereas Bella's Ice Cream and Sno Biz, were in place for sweet treat lovers.
Just as well, with sangria pouches and a selection of other wines available, Harkness Edwards Vineyards was set up to provide adult beverages.
"We'd like to come out to community events and support them in any way we can," said employee Emily Jones. "We love Winchester and just want to show our support by coming out and serving."
Also present at the event were Traditional Bank, Clark County Farm Bureau, Williams Agency Inc., and Woods Realty Group.
A bevy of new and repeat visitors came to experience the evening of music.
Kenneth Robinson, a Winchester resident of approximately forty years, has attended each Legacy Night since the beginning.
"It's just a good place to be and something to do," he said. "I just like all the music, listening to the bands."
Powell County native Maria Estes – who attended with her future in-laws – was enjoying her first Legacy Nights experience.
"Because [of] the park with children, [and] the dog park with animals, this is a really nice thing to have here in Winchester," she said. "They need more things here for the young people."
The event took place next to the park playground area, allowing all attendees to benefit.
"We put this series next to the park so that parents can come, they can listen to music, and they can look over and [see] their children are there," Jackson said. "We even have parents who sit close to the music so that their children can play and they can listen to music. That was a big part of the planning process for this."
With two more concert events scheduled for Sept. 13th and Oct. 11th, the hope is that the audience continues to grow.
"It's just incredible. We want this to be a space where everybody feels welcome [and] safe, where they feel that they belong", said Jackson. "This series is kind of doing all of that for everybody together. That's been the coolest thing about it."

Many items on store shelves have this ingredient, so make sure you're choosing products without it before you put them in your cart. Most soda drinks contain high fructose corn syrup, but so does ketchup, so check the labels. "Glucose/fructose" is how this product is labeled in Canada.
Introduce more fiber into your diet so you can lower your risk of developing diabetes. To reduce your risks of diabetes, eat plenty of whole grains, and avoid foods with a high glycemic index, such as processed white bread. Eating whole grains more often has been shown to reduce the risk of diabetes.
Have gum and sugary food on your body at all times if you have hypoglycemia. You never know when you will feel the onset of an attack so it is important to always be prepared. This is even more important if you skip breakfast, because your body will be craving sugar.
TIP! Gestational diabetes is NOT YOUR FAULT! It occurs frequently in pregnant women and is something than cannot always be prevented. You need to positively focus on the health of yourself and your unborn child.
TIP! Unless otherwise directed by your physician, you should always take fast-acting insulin between one to fifteen minutes before you sit down to eat your meal. This insulin helps your blood sugar stay at a proper level when it is used properly.
Diabetics should monitor their eating habits carefully. Different types of foods will affect blood sugar levels differently, so you will need to closely monitor your food intake.

Managing your diabetes can become tiresome, so it's important to keep reminding yourself of all the reasons why it's critical. Remind yourself of life's enjoyments, what is stopping you from enjoying those things, and how you can work around those blocks. Focus on the things which are high on your priority list and let these be the motivation in your diabetes management.
TIP! Exercising naturally lowers blood sugar and improves insulin sensitivity, which is the healthiest way to control your blood sugar levels. If you want to obtain the best possible results, you should do plenty of aerobic exercises in combination with steady resistance training.

Mr and Miss West Indies Beauty pageant: interview of the King
by muriel
We all know the importance of the youth at Carnival.
They are carrying the torch of traditions for future generations.
Today I meet two inspiring young men, who participated in the Mr and Miss West Indies Beauty Pageant last year.
Ken Coco was crowned King of the pageant and Pavel Diaz, Prince, as first runner-up.
They both modelled at the UCOM band launch last year.
Ken Coco is French, with a Guadeloupean background. Supervisor at Michael Kors, He is telling me about his experience at the competition.
Why did you decide to participate in the contest?
As a French person, I wanted to put the name of my island out there.
Not a lot of people know about Guadeloupe, in the French West Indies. It was the opportunity for me to give a bit shout-out to my island!
How was the contact with the other guys?
It was really friendly. I really appreciated the journey into the pageant competition. It wasn't about "I'm the best, I'm the winner".
We had a Whatsapp group where we exchanged messages, greetings, inspirational quotes of the day to remind ourselves we are Kings and Queens. It really was a nice journey.
On the first meeting, I realised the contest would be challenging. Two of the contestants were to me, a big competition. But I thought that I was not going to put myself at the same level at them. I had to go with my style, that's it!
Why do you think you won the pageant?
I think I won because I made it all about my island, Guadeloupe.
I wanted to make sure people got to know the dance, the music, the costumes.
I performed the two traditional dances of Guadeloupe, the gwo ka (with music by Akiyo) and I danced the biguine, as well (music by Rony Theophile). All of this in three minutes!
Because I only had three minutes to demonstrate two very different dances, I put my two outfits on top of each other.
The Gwo Ka outfit was attached with velcro, to give way to the Biguine outfit when taken off.
I played with the effect of surprise on stage, by pretty much stripping!
I did my research, I wanted this pageant to have a taste of Guadeloupe.
As part of my costume, I also had a Ka [the traditional drum] that had been made with cardboard, by kids from school.
After your performance how did you feel and what would you say to prospective contestants?
After my performance, I felt proud. It was completely different from what the other contestants did in the past. I was really happy with it.
There are a lot of Caribbean related events out there, festivals, parties, but entering the pageant is an opportunity to represent your island and your culture as an individual.
Be proud of your culture and come and shout out about it!
Stay tuned for the interview of Pavel Diaz, crowned Prince of Mr and Miss West Indies 2016.

The Fremont Hotel & Casino is located in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, on theFremont Street Experience. The casino is operated by the Boyd Gaming Corporation.
The Fremont hotel is located on 200 Fremont Street. It was designed by architect Wayne McAllister and opened on May 18, 1956 as the tallest building in the state of Nevada. At the time of its opening it had 155 rooms, cost $6M to open and was owned by Ed Levinson and Lou Lurie. In 1963 the Hotel was expanded to include the 14 story Ogden tower and one of the city's first vertical parking garages.
In 1974 Aleen Glick's Argent Corporation purchased the Fremont and in 1976 expanded the casino at a cost of $4M. In 1983 Sam Boyd bought the Fremont to add to his Boyd Gaming group properties.
Fremont Hotel and Casino is one of the Casinos and Hotels currently located in Downtown Las Vegas that is part of the Fremont Street Experience. The casino is located on what is commonly referred to as the four corners. These are the four main hotels that are located on the corner of Casino Center Boulevard and Fremont Street. The four casino's making up the four corners are The Fremont, Four Queens, Golden Nugget and Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel . Casino Center Bouvelard is the only through street that passes under the canopy of the Fremont Street Experience. It passes between the Fremont and the Four Queens located on one side of the bouvelard and The Golden Nugget and Binions located on the opposite side of the Bouvelard.
In 1959 Wayne Newton made his start in Las Vegas at the Fremont at it's Carnival Lounge..
Many scenes from the Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn movie Swingers were filmed inside the Fremont, including their games of blackjack, and breakfast in the casino's Paradise Buffet. The casino also appears periodically in the 1992 Disney film, Honey, I Blew Up the Kid.

WYOMING: WHERE THE FEDS, THE WILLS, AND THE BUFFALO ROAM
We were an invasion, of sorts—fifteen members of one family bedding down in various high-end units at the Jackson Lake Lodge in Wyoming. The youngest was 16 months and the oldest 92.
All but Rob and I managed to hike miles around nearby Jenny Lake, while some fished from a boat on Jackson Lake—unfortunately, no bites--and others went river-rafting. Evenings we alternately filled the counters at the Pioneer Grill, or overflowed a Lodge barbecue, or brought pizzas into our one large and elegant suite.
Over the years, Rob and I have spent many vacation days at the Jackson Lake Lodge, though never with a group this large. Thus we knew enough to reserve room 911, with its wrap-around windows and a breathtaking view of the majestic Tetons. One glimpse of white-dotted Moran Peak and its sister peaks made the rest of the view disappear.
Still, it was moments with kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids that turned the trip into something of a miracle. Four-year-old Analise (from one family) tending to 16-month-old Eva (from another.) Analise seemed to feel it her duty to keep Eva entertained, which she did with chatter, games, and mutual kisses. At times Analise ran errands for Rob and me, at the barbecue fetching napkins or glasses of lemonade.
Moving up in age were eight-year-old Corbin who valiantly tried to find fishing worms for Rob—(at a dollar a worm), since worms are now outlawed in all local stores. He found only one, which eliminated Rob's hoped-for dam fishing. Thirteen-year-old Malena had many a report on her twin-sister, Marley "She reads all the time but she has no memory, because she turns around and reads the same book the next day," seemingly unaware that both of them are virtually straight-A students.
With adult grandkids Jamie, Dane, and friend Zhanina, we played endless games of Boggle, and with public-defender grandchild Christy, we did the impossible Saturday New York Times crossword. (She and Rob mostly left me in the dust.)
Dane became a hero on the river raft trip when, during the rapids, Lauren's brand new hat flew off , and Dane saw what happened and athletically snagged it out of the passing current.
Tracy (and others), returned from several long hikes with tales of much-too-close mother bears complete with cubs, and reports of stupid tourists who couldn't seem to follow the yelled instructions from several lady rangers; instead, they did everything wrong. They approached when they shouldn't, and took off running when that merely incited the bears. Meanwhile, videographer Dane stood off to one side and snapped photos.
The other guys, Paul, Dan, and Mike, did lots of hauling of food supplies, luggage, and whatever any of us needed.
I distinguished myself by reacting so badly to the high altitude's lack of oxygen that I nearly fainted, inspiring Tracy's Paul to run for a doctor, and return with a canister of oxygen. From then on, nurse Lauren watched out for me, prescribing lots of water, slow walking, and multiple whiffs of oxygen. I was okay sitting down, but sooner or later the day requires that you do some walking.
One night, Lauren's Analise refused to go to bed. Instead, as Lauren reported back to us with a laugh, she screamed at her mother, "I hate you! I hate you! I hope you get a sunburn. I hope it gets really red. I'm not going to tell you about the mother moose. And I'm not going to tell you about the baby moose!" We realized that, being only four, she'd quickly run out of insults.
Later someone asked Marley, in the next door unit, if she'd heard Analise. "Oh yes," Marley texted back. "She was loud. Really loud!"
Rob and I (now non hikers), instead gathered interesting tales from some of the energetic food serving crew, and one in particular, an older fellow named "Teak." I asked him about his unusual name, and he told us a story—how his mother had named him Tk, and how, when first employed at the lodge, the gate guard had asked, "What's your real name?" and he said, "You've got my passport, there it is." Up at the lodge, he said, "I was pleased when I finally acquired a real name. They called me Tonly Konly. Only later did I learn that the gate guard had written, 'T only, and k only.'" With that he re-named himself "Teak."
In further conversations Teak said, "You see that clear plastic water glass you're using? And the straw? In six months they'll both be dirt."
"They're plastic, both made of corn. Totally biodegradable."
Rob said, "Wait 'til the world hears about this."
Our last day at lunch I quizzed the handsome stranger sitting next to me at the food counter, and he admitted he was the official photographer for the large, rather famous assemblage of Feds, due to arrive the day after we left. And true to form, back home again, we saw many a shot of the world-famous men and women, nicely assembled outdoors in full view of the magnificent Tetons.
Bob and I kept asking ourselves, "I wonder who later slept in our room . . . " as clearly someone from the Fed-group must have done. It was pretty logical. After all, we'd occupied the best unit in the Lodge.

THEY OPENED HIS HEART IN CLEVELAND
Until a few months ago, neither Rob nor I knew our son, Ken (living in Virginia), had a heart murmur. Once we found out, events seemed to spiral forward at ever-increasing speed. As Ken tells it, he happened to mention the problem to a wealthy Norfolk friend, Linda Kaufman, and she called the Cleveland Clinic (the nation's premier center for heart issues) and, he said, "They called me back within five minutes."
It turns out Mrs. Kaufman's husband had had a heart transplant there, and either before or after, they donated so much money to the hospital, that the "Heart Failure Clinic" is now named for them. Thanks to her connections, Ken soon found himself speaking to Dr. Eric Roselli, the leading heart surgeon at the clinic.
Wanting to be there, Rob and I and Ken's youngest daughter, Juliette, decided to become his Cleveland support team. Meanwhile, Ken's Melanie had fractured her wrist a week earlier and back home she needed her own surgery.
Events started with good news—two days before Ken's operation, a camera threaded through a tiny opening in Ken's wrist showed his coronary arteries to be clear . . . which augured well for his future, suggesting he'll never need a stent or bypass.
The day before surgery, in a vast family lounge, the four of us briefly met Dr. Roselli himself. In his late forties, he was not only modest and charming, but so handsome I could imagine his nurses having difficulty focusing on their jobs. In that encounter Dr. Roselli told us he'd prefer keeping Ken's own heart valve if possible, while admitting with a smile that Ken would have to appear in the clinic at five a.m. "while I'm still in bed," he said. The procedure itself would begin at seven.
The next day, three of us met Dr. Roselli again, this time in a private room. It was near one P.M., meaning the surgery had taken over five hours. "It went well," he said. "We replaced six inches of his enlarged aorta with Dacron. The biggest job was repairing the valve, because it was frayed around the edges and thin in places and required lots of small sutures. But we got it done." He smiled. "It will now seat nicely over the aorta." In passing, he noted that a fellow surgeon had never seen such strong fascia as existed over Ken's chest; they could hardly cut through it. We assumed that came from all those years of Ken's swimming the butterfly.
Since Kenny had earlier given him my book, "Higher Than Eagles," Dr. Roselli admitted to having tried hang gliding briefly in Kitty hawk, rising a few feet off the ground. Odd as it seemed in that setting, we next discussed my terrifying flight as a tandem passenger with Bobby, which seemed to fascinate him. We also discussed his three children, ages 15, 13, and 10, with the ten-year-old boy asking occasionally, "Did you save any lives today, Daddy?" By the end, we learned he was committed to two more surgeries that day, about which he said ruefully, "One will be more complicated than your son's."
"Will you have lunch?" I asked, and he said, "I'll have some power bars. But I do get a good dinner." We three left in wonder, knowing his day was only a third finished.
Rob aptly described the magnificent facility manned by marvelously capable nurses –and so much technical equipment nobody could have counted all the machinery in just one room in I.C.U. Our first view of Ken was reminiscent of the whole. Besides a surgical cap and oxygen tubes in his nose, tubes and wires protruded from his neck, several from his chest, and at least one each in both arms. We could see a bit of the bandage—which started just below his chin. His thumb rested on a button that delivered doses of fentanyl. "You can press it whenever you want," the nurses assured him.
Ken tried to speak to us, but while his lips moved, the words were inaudible. Working around the gadgetry that squeezed his legs, I stood for awhile rubbing his feet, right through the nubby surgical socks—a process to be repeated over subsequent days. That night we didn't stay long.
Each day, from then on, one or more tubes were extracted, until at last he was able to ask for a cup of Starbucks coffee—and actually drink it. (Probably a mistake. Not much sleep that night). Throughout, Kenny was a benign patient, brave and uncomplaining. He just lay quietly, listening to music that flowed from a small device he'd brought with him. Meanwhile, Juliette was the legs of the group, running frequent errands.
Four days after surgery, Ken's heart went into A-Fib, which frightened all of us, and especially Ken—but not the concerned nurses, apparently, nor Chris, who said by phone, "That's just a bump in the road." Later, having been in A-Fib for ten hours, Ken's heart resumed a normal rhythm. By then we two were headed home.
Two days later Ken was discharged from the hospital to spend two more days in our hotel. From home I spoke to Juliette, who admitted that his first day out they'd gone to an art museum. Rob and I were amazed he'd been able to do it—even, as she explained, walking slowly from room to room. Eventually the two boarded a plane for Norfolk, using a wheelchair between planes. He arrived home exhausted. But now, a day later, he's newly refreshed.
As is predictable for Rob and me, we had a couple of personal adventures. Most embarrassing was when the two of us were hurrying across the hotel lobby to catch a departing elevator . . . a bit late, as the doors were already closing. To stop the process, Rob popped his cane into the narrowing opening, expecting the impediment to make them re-open, as usually happens.
Too late. Instead of changing their mind, the closing doors grabbed Rob's cane, and he was left holding one end of a cane, while the business end was clamped tight in the outer elevator doors. So there he stood—with no upward ride and gripping the handle of a useless cane. A man came to help extract his cane from the powerful doors—to no avail. And then came another bruiser of a fellow. Together, the two exerted all their strength, and pried open the doors just enough to release Rob's weapon.
Soon afterwards, the elevator came back down with a new load of passengers. Unfortunately, the outer doors were now jimmied and wouldn't open. Knowing the passengers were stuck, the manager hurried over and assured them through a crack that help was on the way. While we watched, horrified, various men spoke reassuring words to the trapped individuals . . . while outside, a mechanic appeared with tools and worked overhead, trying to get the doors to open. Eventually, after much physical effort and lots of soothing talk, the outer doors finally, slowly, retracted.
With that, four people shot out of the elevator as though ejected from a cannon. I suppose they thought the whole process might reverse and capture them once more.
Surprisingly, that elevator remained out of commission until several days after we'd left.
The other unusual event was not our fault. The very large clinic area is served by numerous free—also frequent—shuttles. But not, we learned, on weekends. On Sunday, after a long wait, we were told that the day's only shuttle had been in an accident and was out of commission. "How will we get to the hospital?" Rob asked.
The hotel's concierge shrugged. Then he brightened. "I'll put you in a police car," he said, which only I heard. With that, he summoned a Cleveland Clinic Police sedan, and the driver hopped out. While a surprised Rob climbed into the front, I had to lower my head and enter the back—with its barred windows and protective shield between me and the driver. Until now I'd never seen such a vehicle from the inside. When we exit, I wondered, Will we be taken for criminals? Still, it felt like an adventure. With our arrival at the hospital, I couldn't leave my seat--not until the policeman came around to let me out. On our return trip, it was Cop Car once more, and this time Rob rode in back.
Our trip to Cleveland was A to Z strange. Our second and third nights we viewed the debates, only later noting there was never a question about guns. Toward the end of our week came the horror of the El Paso killings--and the next morning we awoke in disbelief to another massacre in Dayton. Now home, today I read in further disbelief a statement from Trump—"There is no political appetite for a ban on assault rifles." (The polls indicate the contrary.)
Meanwhile, in spare moments I'd been reading the final chapters of Michelle Obama's wonderful book, by coincidence finished as we arrived home. Her descriptions of the arduous, non-stop duties faced by Barack—who read from a staff-prepared booklet every night until 1:00 or 2:00 a.m.--made me think, All you candidates for president should read this book. Most of you would quit.
A side note—I've never met so many friendly people as I encountered in Cleveland.
With that, I echo Rob's observation that the private sector, with private funds, has produced two of the world's finest facilities—the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic.

Mukesh Bansal-led Cult.fit acquires Gold's Gym India business
ETtech Last Updated: Feb 14, 2022, 01:38 PM IST
Cult.fit will enable all Gold's Gym centres with its technology and customer app. The Bengaluru-based startup will also look to expand the US gym brand across geographies such as Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Maldives, Nepal and Bhutan.
Bengaluru: Fitness center chain Cult.fit said it has picked up a majority stake in F2 Fun & Fitness, thereby becoming the master franchise partner for Gold's Gym in India. Cult.fit is a part of Cure.fit Healthcare which recently announced an investment from Zomato taking the company's valuation to $1.5 billion.
In a press statement, Cult.fit said it will invest in increasing revenues from existing Gold's Gym centres, and facilitating centre expansion via franchisees in coming years. Gold's Gym is the second largest fitness chain in India operating more than 140 centers across more than 90 cities, the statement said.
Among the most acquisitive startups, Cure.fit had also acquired the Indian business of Fitness First in May 2018.
Founded in 2016 by Mukesh Bansal and Ankit Nagori, Cult.fit provides fitness-related services through a mix of online and offline channels. These include offline group workouts at Cult.fit centres and other gym- or equipment-based workouts at partner gyms and fitness centres across the country as well as online training.
While Bansal has taken on an additional role of steering Tata Digital, Nagori now runs a separate cloud-kitchen platform Curefoods, which recently raised $62 million in capital.

Seeing that patios are prime locations for entertaining, think about making use of built in speakers for a entertainment system. Providing music can be a bonus feature that provides ambiance and helps to create the best mood for your get together Patios also allow you to take the cooking out of the kitchen. Instead of a conventional barbecue grill, consider adding a built-in grilling pit, patio brick or perhaps pizza oven, built-in kitchen with storage cabinets designed for utensils. A small refrigerator, wines or beer storage area, coolers or even a small dishwasher can be added to keep your patio and kitchen area separate, as well as have got everything you need right outside and at hand.

8 outside-the-box Chicago experiences
Last updated on September 14, 2021 by Choose Chicago
Exhibitions not your thing? Only go to the ballpark to grab a hotdog? Can't sit still long enough to take in a show? If you want an out-of-the ordinary, not your father's vacation, only-in-Chicago kind of experience, these 10 places are just the ticket.
1. Get surreal at Arts in the Dark
October takes on an element of the surreal as dusk falls upon Chicago. Arts in the Dark brings together artists from around the city for a procession filled with spectacle, puppetry, legions of masked entities, luminous lanterns, and mesmerizing performances. This year's parade, which takes place in October, will be led by eight "Illuminaries" recognized as influencers in their respective fields. World-renowned institutions, including the likes of the Art Institute of Chicago and Lookingglass Theatre Company, get involved each year. Arts in the Dark takes place from 6-8pm on Columbus Drive, moving north from Balbo Drive to Monroe Street.
2. Dine on a whole alligator at Frontier
"Meat forward" takes on new meaning at Frontier when you order a whole spit-roasted alligator. Caught wild in Shreeveport, Louisiana, each alligator is stuffed with whole chickens, then smoked and roasted over apple and cherry woods. This isn't something to be experienced on a whim, however. Frontier requires 7-days minimum notice and a seating of 12-15 people.
3. Get the robot treatment at EMC2
Need a fresh towel? Maybe a refill on those tiny minibar bottles? Cleo and Leo – two Savioke Relay robots — are at your service. Chicago's Hotel EMC2 is, in fact, the only hotel in the world to use this type of robot for concierge service (they give you a friendly little shimmy before they leave you, by the way). Displaying an incredible amount of character for something decidedly devoid of the human element, Cleo and Leo are every bit as charming as the hotel itself, whose mission it is to meld art and science for a truly unique, immersive hotel experience.
Cleo and Leo are only the tip of the iceberg. Check out Steampunk-fueled guestrooms; cocktail-dispensing infusaries; video screen-enhanced elevators; and a custom-designed Zoetrope in the lobby where a graceful dancer pirouettes.
4. Chat with a bunch of statues
Statue Stories Chicago is a free, city-wide arts initiative in which Chicago's most celebrated writers, actors, and comedians were commissioned to write and voice monologues for 30 statues across the city. Once your smartphone scans a QR code, you'll get a "call back" from the likes of John C. Reilly as Abraham Lincoln, Steve Carell as Man With Fish at the Shedd Aquarium, Elizabeth McGovern as the Goddess Hebe in Grant Park, David Schwimmer as Cloud Gate (aka "The Bean") in Millennium Park – and my personal favorite, Bob Newhart as Bob Newhart at Navy Pier – to name just a few. Together, these 30 celebrities – and their statuary alter-egos – tell Chicago's story. Check out the full list of statues, as well as walking tours here.
5. Watch three acres of Art on theMART
Art on theMart is going to wow with a capital "W." This permanent large-scale lighting installation, scheduled to debut on the Chicago Riverwalk this fall, will project across nearly three acres of the south, river-facing façade of theMART (formerly known as The Merchandise Mart). TheMART will, in fact, become 'the largest canvas in the world" for video art, with a curated, ongoing series of ever-changing images becoming a permanent nighttime riverfront draw for visitors and locals. With the award-winning Chicago Riverwalk and all its attractions lying at its feet, you should get ready for sensory overload – the good kind.
6. Step out on the ledge and tilt
Head over to the Willis Tower — the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere — and step onto The Ledge, a glass box that extends 4.3 feet from the Skydeck and stands 1,353 feet in the air. Surprisingly, you're too thrilled with the views and the uniqueness of the experience (you're virtually floating on air) to get any bouts of vertigo. Here in Chicago, however, we don't do things by halves. Which is why your next stop is the 94th floor observatory at 875 N. Michigan (formerly the John Hancock Building) on the Magnificent Mile, where you're literally tilted over the city in an enclosed moving platform 1000 ft. up. If that doesn't say outside-the-box, I don't know what does.
7. Drink in a Matchbox
As Vogue explains, "An eclectic mix of characters frequent this off-beat and very narrow, hip bar." Which is, in fact, pretty accurate. At only 460 square feet, The Matchbox, has stood at the corner of Ogden, Milwaukee, and Chicago Avenues for more than 75 years. Today, it's a pleasure palace of "curious spirits, quirky cocktails and an array of cigars and cigarettes" with a loyal crew of regulars that you're sure to meet, given the fact that you have to literally squeeze past them to maneuver in and out of the establishment.
8. Shop at an architecture and artifact museum
Architectural Artifacts is where salvage meets chic, and then teaches chic a thing or two about cultural history. This isn't at all your typical antiques shop, filled with dusty knickknacks and gaudy Victorian sofas that warrant a visit to the chiropractor after 2 minutes in a seated position. Rather, this is a place of history, artistry, and adventure.
What started in 1987 as a bit of indulgence for archaeologist and collector Stuart Grannen has grown into an expanse of extraordinary antiques and artifacts unearthed all the way from Italy to Argentina. The result is a venue that feels much more like a super-cool architectural museum than it does a store – although everything does have a price tag. Up for sale at the moment: An early 20th century carved wooden carousel horse from Argentina, a pair of Frank Lloyd Wright designed armchairs, and an anatomical model of a cow skeleton from Germany, which kinda makes those armchairs seem like a steal.
Honestly though, if you don't have the moolah for the one-of-a-kind pieces you'll fall in love with here, it really doesn't matter. You can simply get up close and personal with museum quality decorative arts and architectural pieces, amble in the courtyard garden, and chat with the super-friendly staff, who never do the hard sell. Come wander – they're used to it!

What Does This Mean for the Aged Care Sector?
The Aged Care sector is not unfamiliar with a Federal inquiry process - since 2009 there have been 10 Federal inquiries into Aged Care leading to various and widespread recommendations for the sector (the largest of which being the implementation of the Living Longer, Living Better reforms in 2013).
However, depending on the scope of the Commission, providers should be prepared for potentially significant ramifications - the current Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry is a very real and current example of how far-reaching, wide and public Royal Commissions are.
Whilst the Terms of Reference for the Royal Commission into the Aged Care sector have not been announced, it is expect that the Commission will have a significant impact upon Aged Care providers and will no doubt lead to reforms to the industry.
As members of the public are typically invited to make public submissions, Aged Care providers will need to consider their positions relatively quickly and in light of the Terms of Reference (including at the time of submissions to be called for the Terms of Reference).
In addition, providers should be aware that a number of announced reforms for the sector are still in the process of being legislated and/or implemented (including the new Aged Care Quality Standards and the findings of the Aged Care Workforce Taskforce). It is not yet clear whether reforms to the Aged Care sector which have already been announced will be delayed by the Royal Commission process.
What you Need to Consider
Below are some steps you need to consider in preparation of the Royal Commission.
What is a Royal Commission?
A Royal Commission is an independent inquiry into issues of paramount public importance. The role of a Royal Commission is to undertake an investigation on a particular issue in Australian life and report its findings to the Government. While it is commissioned by, and reports to, the Government, a Royal Commission is an independent entity whose functions are carried out in full public view.
What will the Royal Commission Investigate?
While the Terms of Reference have yet to be determined, it is expected that the Royal Commission will examine:
The quality of care provided to older Australians and the extent of substandard care
The challenge of providing care to Australians with disabilities living in residential aged care, particularly younger people with disabilities
The challenge of supporting the increasing number of Australians suffering dementia and addressing their care needs as they age
The future challenges and opportunities for delivering aged care services in the context of changing demographics, including remote, rural and regional Australia
Any other matters that the Royal Commission considers.
The Terms of Reference are expected to be determined following consultation with both the Aged Care sector and the broader community. Those terms may change during the Commission.
Key industry commentators have highlighted in particular the need to consider instances of elder abuse, under staffing, and investment for the long term sustainability of Australia's Aged Care sector.
What Powers Does the Royal Commission Have?
As Royal Commissions are primarily concerned with uncovering the truth, they have broad powers to compel witnesses to give evidence. These include significant coercive powers to:
Summon a person to:
a. Give evidence
b. Provide documents or other things
Require a witness to give evidence under oath
Require a person to provide information or a statement in writing.
There are no limits on how many times a person can be called before a Royal Commission to give evidence.
What if the Evidence is Self-Incriminating?
Generally, a person will still be required to provide evidence even if would incriminate them, unless they have been charged with an offence and the incriminating evidence relates to that offence.
What if a Document is Legally Privileged?
If a document to be provided to the Royal Commission is subject to legal professional privilege, it must be produced unless a court has previously found, or a claim is made to the Commission, that the document is subject to legal professional privilege.
What Offences are There?
There are a number of offences for failing to comply with an order made by the Royal Commission. These include:
Refusing to give evidence;
Refusing to sworn or make an affirmation;
Failing to produce a document determined not be covered by legal professional privilege;
Providing false or misleading evidence; and
Interfering with evidence or witnesses.
Penalties apply which include terms of imprisonment.
What can a Royal Commission Find?
A Royal Commission can make a range of recommendations, including those for legislative and policy reforms. It can make adverse findings of fact and refer a person or organisation to a regulatory or prosecuting body. Adverse findings also result in adverse media and reputational damage.
K&L Gates has a team of lawyers experienced in Royal Commission and Inquiry matters who can assist Aged Care providers with any questions or concerns they have in relation to the impending Royal Commission.

← What Is Chronic Airways Disease and How Can Physiotherapy Help?
I know that many of the things we do to our hair on a daily basis isn't good for it. To help heal damaged hair there are many things you can do. You can also become more proactive and change some of your daily habits to limit the amount of damage you do to your hair in the first place.
In this article I will provide you with some simple tips to heal damaged hair, but as importantly, I will also give you some ideas of simple changes you can make so you don't do as much damage in the first place.
First off, to prevent damage there are many things you can do. One of the simplest is to cut down on the amount of heat you use on your hair. As much as possible try to time washing your hair to a time when you can let it air dry.
It might mean a change in your schedule but it can also result in better, more healthy looking hair.
Instead of showering in the morning, for example, why not take your shower earlier in the evening the night before? That way you can allow your hair to air dry. Than, if you need to, you can just get rid of your bed head in the morning by using a damp comb.
Another ultra simple thing to do to prevent damage in the first place is to limit the number of times you wash your hair. True, this will be easier if you are like me and you have dry hair and scalp as opposed to oily hair and scalp.
Though if you suffer from oily hair, your hair is probably not that damaged in the first place. Washing your hair every other day or every third day is perfectly fine for most people.
If you workout and sweat a lot you may need to wash it more during the week, but lay off the washings on the weekends when you aren't working out.
Also, find more all natural shampoos. Many of the hair care products on the market are very hard on your hair. They are loaded with drying, potentially toxic chemicals that can really damage your hair.
Just finding less harsh shampoos can make a big difference.
If you do have some damage despite your best efforts one easy thing to do is go in for a trim. Your stylist can cut off the ends which is where you will find most of the damage.
Another thing you can do is to use a deep moisturizing treatment once a week. Also, find a shampoo that is made specifically for dry, damaged hair.
You can even turn to your refrigerator for help with damaged hair. Adding mayonnaise to your hair like a conditioner can help with some damage.
And, one last point, don't overlook the important of the food you put in your body too. Beauty starts on the inside and works it's way out. Make sure you eat a well balanced diet, get plenty of rest, drink enough water and keep your bad habits to a minimum.
Prevention in anything is usually the best way to go. When talking about keeping your hair healthy it's just as true as when talking about keeping your whole body healthy.
Be willing to make simple changes and you can prevent dry hair so you won't have to worry about how to heal damaged hair.


My family loves these little ice cream treats. Using the Maria's cookies they are a quick and inexpensive way to make them.
Maria's cookies. These can be found in the International section of the grocery store, where the Latin foods are. They are about 50 cents per package!
Ice Cream, any flavor, softened. We used vanilla.
Sprinkles, coconut, chocolate pieces, etc for decorating the edges.
Place one cookie on your plate or other surface. Put a little scoop of slightly softened ice cream on your cookie.
Place other cookie on top of the ice cream.
Roll the ice cream edge into whatever you would like. We used sprinkles, coconut and chocolate pieces this time, but the sky's the limit!
Eat immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and freeze until hardened.
