Clay and Oysters
Artist Alison Evans borrows shapes from Maine mollusks to sculpt a stylish and graceful dinnerware line.
By Rebecca Martin Evarts Photograph by Nathan Eldridge
Alison Evans stands at a canvas-covered plywood table, a slab of damp, whitish clay in front of her, a wet sponge close by. Like a farm wife whipping up a pie, she lays into the clay with a large rolling pin. No need to measure the right thickness; her hands tell her. "I just kind of wing it," she says. The sheet will be pressed into one of the large plaster-of-Paris molds that surround her, this one an elongated, beautifully sculpted yet readily recognizable oyster shell.
Overshadowed by its succulent heart, reviled for its tightly sealed lips, at best destined for recycling, the oyster's shell is finally getting the respect it deserves.
In Evans' hands, it has become usable art. Lead-free, dishwasher- and microwave-safe, the Oyster Series platters and dishes are the centerpiece of Alison Evans Ceramics' highly acclaimed handmade tableware line, "Ceramics Inspired by the Sea."
Less than a decade ago, she had only a degree in ceramics from the Rhode Island School of Design, a vision, and a kiln set up in her parents' Boothbay garage. These days, demand for Evans' pieces keeps three kilns running around the clock in a fireproof room at the rear of a small ceramics gallery-cum-studio in a nineteenth-century brick building on Yarmouth's Main Street.
Currently, sales top 1,200 pieces each month. A small fraction of the studio's output is sold through the gallery, with the majority of the pieces destined for retail stores, both in the U.S. and overseas. Ninety percent of all Evans' sales occur outside Maine.
High-end retailers, like Hazelnut New Orleans, Stanley Korshak of Texas, and Gump's San Francisco, whose customers appreciate unusual craftsmanship and demand high quality, have responded enthusiastically to Evans' oyster riff. Other shell-inspired shapes have been added, such as the Razor Clam Series, a giant sea clam bowl, a traditional oyster platter, sea urchin bowls. Retailers often suggest new directions, one of which became the Round Series, a selection of dinnerware with more traditional forms.
The striking glazes were developed through years of experimentation. A dark edge the color of wet horseshoe crab turns into a crystalline band that dissolves in the center of the platter to a translucent blue-green, like water in a sandy-bottomed tidal pool. The silky surface and minute variations are pleasant to touch; no two pieces are identical. They also photograph well, a boon for Internet sales. Two of Evans' round plates have already entered dish history in Shax Riegler's lavishly illustrated book, Dish: 813 Wonderful, Colorful Dinner Plates.
For a fast-growing company in an artisan business infamously prone to production failures — its bugbear is cracking, which can strike at several points in the process — the gallery's atmosphere is remarkably tranquil, homey, even. Perhaps this is because the company has only three close-knit workers: Evans; her husband, Chris Fritz; and Anthony Mattei, Fritz's oldest friend (the two met in the newborn ward when Mattei was hours old and Fritz a comparatively giant six-month-old baby carried in his mother's arms). Fritz handles the business end, Mattei is the "indispensible everything guy," and the two men apply the glazes Evans concocts for the pieces she designs and produces.
A display area, with two wicker armchairs, a woven cotton rug, and a scrubbed pine table, invites visitors to linger. Through the open-backed shelving that holds tableware for sale, you can see into the studio where the three artists, wrapped in clay-streaked smocks, are working quietly amid plaster molds, wheeled drying shelves that resemble baker's racks, a hydraulic press, and other big pieces of equipment. Brett Dennen's "Because You Are A Woman," plays low over the sound system. No raised voices, no phones ringing off the hook. Orders come in silently over the Internet. The big packing room is out of sight in the basement, where stacked boxes await the afternoon FedEx pick-up.
This is a new iteration of the family business where generations work together in the same space and produce goods made by hand. In this case, the next generation isn't actually working, though she's spent her entire life in the business. Shea, Evans' and Fritz's daughter, has shown up every day, first in a bassinet, and now has graduated to her own fenced corner complete with toys, a play kitchen, a mat for relaxing, and a pink-striped armchair.
Evans, radiating warmth and good humor, manages to combine talking, working, and mothering with ease. "I always knew I wanted a child, and to be a huge part of my child's life," she explains, while trimming a top for the line's most complicated piece, a teapot inspired by the giant African sea snail, which sometimes takes her several months to produce. "I have to have my head in the right place to make it," she says of the pot, but her mojo must be working even though she and Shea have been passing a cold back and forth, and the baby is sleeping hers away in an electronic swing behind a glassed door in a small kitchen area. Shea coughs, wakes up for a moment, squeaks a little, and goes back to sleep. "I like having her around," Evans says, "and between the three of us, we manage to keep her entertained."
Evans' "affair with clay," as she puts it, began with a wheel-throwing class at Miss Porter's School in Connecticut. She loved handling clay, hated the required computer class. "I knew even then that I never wanted to work at a desk with computers, in a business world dominated by men," she says. Looking back, she notes that her strengths — math, science, and athletics — played well to the wet clay career track. "Pottery involves lots of chemistry in the glazes, both algebra and geometry in making the molds, as well as physical strength to handle clay."
She finished high school in London, where her family resided at the time. "Living in Europe made me realize that there was a place in the world for beautiful objects," she recalls. Her stint at Rhode Island School of Design taught her not to fear production. "They'd tell us, okay, this week you have to turn out a hundred mugs or a hundred bowls. Those numbers don't seem so much to me now, but at the time it was overwhelming."
After graduating in 1998, she landed a job as assistant to Katy Schimert, a well-known multi-media artist with a studio in lower Manhattan. "Katy is an amazing artist with incredible vision, and her mold-making is truly inspired," Evans says. Schimert's project at that time, three years before 9/11, was making human body parts of glazed ceramic to be displayed against drawings of the Twin Towers.
Before long, New York's art scene began to cloy. "I thought I wanted the fancy lifestyle," she continues, "until I realized that there were about three people in New York who decide everyone's career. I figured I'd be doing myself a great disservice waiting for those people to decide whether my art was worth it." A single clay sculpture might take months or years to perfect, whereas making useful objects to sell would allow the whole world to be her critic. "I wanted to make too many things. Besides," she adds, "there's something humble about making pottery."
Searching for a new direction, she left New York two weeks before September 11, 2001, and moved into her parents' house in Boothbay. An unused, fully equipped pottery studio in Damariscotta served as an incubator for her ideas. For the next four years, she worked there intensely every day from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., designing molds and experimenting with glazes, then returned to a nighttime waitressing job. The immersion in the sights and colors of midcoast Maine — all those daily drives up and down the Boothbay peninsula, past places like Oyster Point, Salt Marsh Cove, and Sea Mist Drive, plus weekend walks along the shore — influenced her work.
By 2005, she had created an oyster-inspired tableware line in three distinct glazes. Her big break came when she was accepted into the prestigious New York Gift Show, which attracts buyers from all over the world. "I didn't think I'd get in on the first try," she says," but they loved my stuff and felt it filled a void in the handmade area." She came back to Maine with two thousand dollars-worth of orders, excited but terrified about how to make so many pieces so quickly. With the help of her father, whom she calls "a smart businessman," she was able to work out the bottlenecks that might impede production.
Having managed his family's business, Massachusetts-based Rugg Building Solutions, Chris Fritz had the skills to handle the growing company. "The most important thing I learned from my time there was that employees are your biggest asset; treat them as such," he says. "As far as marketing, production, and shipping go, it always comes back to customer service, product quality, and prompt, punctual delivery." The twice-yearly New York and Atlanta gift shows are their primary marketing tools. He and Mattei now travel with a booth to the shows, freeing Evans to concentrate on designing, crafting, and mothering.
Things are bound to change at the gallery. New product lines, like lighting fixtures, sinks, and one-of-a-kind sculptural pieces, are in the pipeline. The business may outgrow its space; new employees might alter the atmosphere. At some point in the not too distant future, given how fast children grow, Shea may be spending her days at one of Yarmouth's church-run daycare centers. But at this particular moment in time, one thing is certain: Alison Evans' world is the oyster.
If You Go: Alison Evans Gallery, 359 Main St., Yarmouth. 207-847-4007 or 413-695-8036.aeceramics.com. A selection of Alison Evans Ceramics can found in Maine at: the Kimball Shop in Northeast Harbor; the East Boothbay General Store; TJ's At the Sign of the Goose in Cape Neddick; and the Nestling Duck in Scarborough, as well as through online sources.

Government launches SONIC Labs
Gulistan Ladha2021-06-24T14:24:48+00:00
The government has launched a real-world testing facility, SONIC Labs, to help accelerate the adoption of Open RAN technology and help Britain diversify its supply chain. The lab will bring in multiple providers to supply components for 5G radio equipment. It is being run by Ofcom and Digital Catapult, who have built the facility using existing Digital Catapult infrastructure and capability, £1 million of seed funding from DCMS, and a bespoke SONIC Labs branch as part of Ofcom's Innovation Lab in Riverside House. It will work with a diverse range of vendors to explore new open approaches to telecoms networks.
This is part of the government's Diversification Strategy and follows the establishment of the Telecoms Diversification Taskforce aimed at reducing the reliance on high-risk vendors and bringing more players into the market.

FIDH calls on the ICC and national jurisdictions to step up the fight against impunity for sexual violence
© Yasuyoshi Chiba / AFP
Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) against both women and men remain invisible and go unpunished. Despite very progressive texts, despite the existence of evidence of SGBV and the adoption of a Policy by the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), the ICC has until now failed to obtain a final conviction of perpetrators for SGBV.
Today, on 5 December 2018, FIDH releases a report entitled "Unheard, Unaccounted: Towards Accountability for Sexual and Gender-Based Violence at the ICC and Beyond".
FIDH gives a critical assessment of the prosecution of perpetrators of sexual crimes by this jurisdiction and others. FIDH provides a series of recommendations to the Court, civil society and States to better adopt a gender perspective in investigations and prosecutions conducted by the ICC, and in its support for victims. This report is based on investigations and consultations conducted over three years with NGOs, victims of sexual violence and their lawyers, international experts and ICC representatives.

Shoot: 'Save the North Sea' Message in the Hague
GP0STP1XK
Greenpeace activists and three Dutch celebrities place a message made of 54.780 pebbles on the square outside the building of the Department of Economic Affairs in The Hague. The message reads "Dijksma, red de Noordzee!" (which translates in English to: "Dijksma, save the North Sea!"). It is addressed to Sharon Dijksma, the State Secretary of Economic Affairs, who is responsible for fishery as well as the protection of Dutch nature, including the Dutch North Sea. Mrs Dijksma also has a brief conversation with the activists.
The 54.780 pebbles represent the amount of people who have signed Greenpeace's Manifest of the Seven Seas, a call for the creation of a global network of ocean sanctuaries. This manifest is linked to the TV programme "The Seven Seas", a 9-episode reality game show in which 10 Dutch celebrities compete to win the title of "Best activist for the sea".
'Save the North Sea' Message in the Hague


18-12-2015: Rien van Nieuwenhuizen, who ranks as one of the earliest discoverers of Bodine, hinted Regular Rocker to a festival poster circulating on Facebook. The poster can be traced back to 1984 and is unique for the fact that it announced one of the concerts agfter Arjen Lucassen's departure. Probably, they played as a four-man band, with Rheno filling in all the guitar parts (if this wasn't the gig that Henry van Maanen played). After this date, Bodine Mk-III(a) would only perform four more times.
The festival venue was Amicitia in The Hague, and for some peculiar reason it was called the Scarborough Fair festival. Is there anyone out there who has more details on this concert? Who played in Bodine that day? What was it like? Share your memories here in the comments section!
18 December 2015: Martin 'Stunning' Stassen has a radar for obscure gig dates. A few months ago, he shared a couple of articles from a local daily called the Goudsche Courant. They are two announcements of a festival called Rock Against Fascism that took place in Over De Brug in Gouda, on 5 May 1980 (Liberation Day for the Dutch). It's a unique date, because it was listed before the debut album was released.
To the genuine Bodinist, this just proves how many years Bodine were ahead of time, standing up against fascism. Alongside De Mo and More, a band from Gouda, Bodine took the stage to make a statement! The editor, Hans van Raalte, however, didn't have a clue about Bodine's presence at the festival. According to his limited views, rock music only invoked aggression, instead of reducing it.
click to enlarge18-12-2015: Since everything over a handful is wasted, Regular rocker kept a mysterious afterburner of Marcel Ebbelaar's Autograph Card posted a few months ago. Apart from a shoe print, it reads that the venue 't Krogt had been burglared prior to the concert. The damage added up to 3,000.- guilders in missing appliances and 1,000.- in necessary repairs. As a gesture of charity, the bands listed for that day agreed to play for free, so that all the ticket revenues could be used as a down payment on new gear. Ain't that sympathetic?
Moreover, it turns out that it was a festival with 6 bands and Bodine was listed as (this is where the mystery starts) Axel Langemeyer, Jeronimo and Arjen Lucassen--supported by "Fast Bas" on the drums.

Q: Regex for extract URL from string fails when string contains multiple double quotes? I am using regex for extracting url from string and it's working mostly;
var regex=new Regex("]*href=(?:'(?<href>.*?)')|(?:\"(?<href>.*?)\")",RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

following strings working fine:
"This is Test page test page"
"This is Test page test another one test"
"This is Tests\"s page test another one test"
"This is Test page"
"This is Test page\"s without problem"

But some time it's not returning good result. Following code return bad result (string contains 2 double quotes) -
var inputString="This string create \"problem\" for me";
var regex=new Regex("]*href=(?:'(?<href>.*?)')|(?:\"(?<href>.*?)\")",RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
var urls=regex.Matches(inputString).OfType<Match>().Select(m =>m.Groups["href"].Value);
foreach(var zzzzzzz in urls){
  Console.WriteLine(zzzzzzz);
}

Demo with problem
Could anyone help me to solve this problem?

A: Maybe you can change your regex like this:<a .*?href=(?:['"](?<href>[^'"]*?)['"])
On Csharp:"<a .*?href=(?:['\"](?<href>[^'\"]*?)['\"])"

A: Solution:
You should use an HTML Parser to get rid of current and further headaches. A  tested and working example can be found for example here.
Regex explanation:
As for your regex, it currently fails because of alternation that you did not enclose into a group. Thus, it can return strings that have no <a... href inside them. More, there are other issues that you can have with your current regex.
A "fixed" regex (meaning it will be capable of handling escaped entities and both double and single quotes) would look like:
(?i)<a\b[^<]*href=(?:(?:'(?<href>[^'\\]*(?:\\.[^'\\]*)*)')|(?:\"(?<href>[^'\\]*(?:\\.[^'\\]*)*))\")

But it is unlikely you can fully rely on regex when parsing HTML. Use the solution, not a workaround.

Glassell Park is full of character, has beautiful Craftsman-style homes, tree-lined streets, and a convenient central location. Historically, it has been populated with low-income and working class residents but the neighborhood is quickly changing because of its inherent beauty, close proximity to key parts of the city/county and access to freeways. Glassell Park has seen a lot of attention since the early 2000 real estate boom. An influx of middle-class families have moved into the neighborhood attracted by the abundance of Craftsman homes and relatively low market prices. Residents also enjoy hidden treasures such as hilly streets (excellent for running) and the local recreation center. Its proximity to unclogged freeways, such as the Glendale 2 Fwy and State Route 134 makes getting anywhere in Los Angeles an easy task. Close access to major freeways including Route 110 and Interstate 5 means getting out of town can be a breeze. However, the delicious and authentic Hispanic food scene may have you wanting to stick around.

This sample itinerary is intended to give you a flavour of what we can do
Day 1: Rest, Rejuvenation and Relaxation in Reykjavík
Your Icelandic adventure begins with a flight to Keflavík, on the outskirts of Reykjavík. The journey takes just over three hours. Once you've landed, you'll be met by a member of the team who will help you catch your transfer to Blue Lagoon.
This world-famous spa, set in the middle of a giant lava field, is the perfect place to start your Iceland experience. Take a soak in the rejuvenating, mineral-rich, geothermal sea water, coloured milky-blue by the silica, mineral salts and algae, before enjoying a silica mud mask and drink at the swim-up bar, while taking in the otherworldly views.
Once fully-pampered, you will be driven to your hotel, where you have the rest of the day to explore Reykjavík at your leisure.
Day 2: Icelandic Arctic Coast Way Road Trip Begins
After your quick Reykjavík pit-stop, our team will help you make your transfer to Reykjavík's domestic airport, before catching the 25-minute internal flight to Akureyi.
Once you've landed, pick up your hire car, which will be ready and waiting for you, ready to start your Arctic Coast road trip.
This morning, you'll have time to explore Akureyi - the energetic 'Capital of the North', scenically positioned on the shore of one of the longest fjords in Iceland, the Eyjafjörður. Take to the road and drive along the western edge of the Eyjafjörður, pass the picturesque village of Hjalteyr - all colourful wooden huts and dramatic mountain views - towards Dalvík. This seaside village is the gateway to the fantastically named Troll Peninsula, and boasts several scenic hiking trails, an ornithological reserve and a beer spa, where you can soak in a beer bath while helping yourself to the draught beer - sounds like a match made in heaven.
As tempting as it may be, try not to sample too much at the spa as we have something special lined up for you. Take to the waters in a traditional wooden Icelandic boat, for an afternoon of whale watching. On this incredible tour you'll also get the chance to try your hand at some sea fishing, and even taste some of the freshly caught fish.
Back on dry land, continue your self-drive discovery towards the northern tip of the penisula to Ólafsfjörður and on to Siglufjörður, a colourful harbour surrounded by majestic mountains, before reaching your hotel for the night.
Day 3: Take to the Water
After a delicious breakfast, jump back in your car for more self-drive adventure. If you fancy yourself as a bit of a fishing fanatic, make a stop at the Siglufjörður Herring museum, before driving west. Continue weaving around the rugged mountains and deep valleys that shape the Troll peninsula, towards Hofsós, where you can take a dip in the unique open-air infinity pool overlooking the ocean. Fear not, the thermal waters mean this is a relaxing, rather than bracing, swim.
Finally, you'll arrive in the Skagafjördur fjord, famous for its horse breeding and choirs - yes, eclectic just about covers it. The Glaumbær folk museum, situated on a renovated 19th century farm, is worth a visit, and for some adrenaline-filled fun we've laid on an adventurous rafting tour through a magical glacial canyon. There's even the chance to stop at one of the geothermic hot springs to enjoy the steam and warm up your fingers and toes. Or, for thrill-seekers, there's the option to do some cliff jumping if you're feeling brave.
Continue your drive to your final destination for the day, Lake Mývatn, an amazing, and unusual, landscape made up of pseudocraters, explosion craters, recent lava flows and cauldrons of boiling mud, all scattered around a beautiful lake, bursting with birdlife.
Here you'll find your accommodation for the next two nights.
Day 4: Landscapes and Lagoons in Mývatn
With a hearty breakfast to set you up for the day, it's back in the hire car to check out what the local area has to offer.
Drive out to Húsavík and around the Tjörnes peninsula to reach the sleepy, little village of Kópasker, where you'll get just a small taste of what life on Mélrakkaslétta peninsula, one of the most remote outposts of Iceland, is really like.
Once you've had a wander, it's time to retrace your steps, back towards Ásbyrgi. This giant horseshoe-shaped canyon - which, legend has it, was created by the hoof of Odin's eight-legged steed, Sleipnir - is a great spot for hiking if you fancy stretching your legs. Carry on your drive down the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon and its many, beautiful waterfalls, to the most powerful of them all, the Dettifoss. This waterfall is a force of nature and believed to be the most powerful in Europe. It certainly ticks the 'wow-factor' box. Finally, cross the desert-like landscapes of the northeast highlands to return to Mývatn and your afternoon activity.
Hailed as the Blue Lagoon of the North - but certainly less touristy - the Mývatn Nature Baths make a welcome break from all that adventure. Relax in the restorative powers of the alkaline lagoon, while taking in the magnificent views over nearby volcanoes and lava flows, before a quick turn in one of the two steam baths, built directly on top of a geothermal area. There's a popular café, with a beautiful terrace just perfect for sunny days, if all that relaxation has built up an appetite.
Once you're finished, it's back to your hotel for the night.
Day 5: More of Mývatn's Natural Beauty
After all the excitement of the past few days, today is your chance to enjoy a slower pace - starting with a leisurely breakfast before checking out of your hotel. Spend the morning revisiting Mývatn's many natural wonders - or give in to temptation and head back for another soak in the lagoon.
In the afternoon, you'll take to the skies, with a breath-taking sightseeing flight over the Highlands and around Kverkfjoll glacier. This unique opportunity to see the beauty of Iceland's natural wonders from above, is something you'll never forget. An utterly awe-inspiring one and a half hours.
Back on land, you'll drive to Egilsstaðir, and your hotel for the night.
Day 6: Seal Watching and Horse Riding in Húsey
Put on some of your best driving tunes as your Arctic Coast Way road trip continues this morning, as you cruise along one of the most stunning panoramic roads, leading to the village of Vopnafjörður.
Reach the lava plateau of Hellisheidi, for a fantatsic view across the black sand beach of Héraðsfloí bay, then carry on towards Húsey. Home to one of the largest colonies of seal in Iceland, Húsey is a peaceful area, rich with wildlife - and the best way to see it is on horseback. Our guided tour takes you to the ultimate seal-watching spots, where you can see these playful animals as they relax on the riverbanks and sandbanks. Spoilt with the beautiful surroundings, as well as plenty of birdlife and even reindeer, this is a wonderful opportunity to get close to nature.
After playing cowboy, it's up to you how you spend the rest of your day. The area has lots to offer - if you're in the mood for walking, drive to Bakkagerði village and the East Fjords, where the wild sea and mountains make for a spectacular landscape to explore on foot. Alternatively, for a taste of real Icelandic countryside, drive around Lagarfljót lake to Hallormmsstaður National Forest, the biggest forest in Iceland, and hike to the picture-perfect Hengifoss waterfalls. Whatever you decide, after all that exertion it's time to head to your hotel and relax, ahead of your last full day in Iceland.
Day 7: Countryside to City
With one last day to soak up everything Iceland has to offer, it's back in the hire car to visit the charming village of Seyðisfjörður. Quirky, creative and very welcoming, this small village packs a big punch. There's a thriving art scene here, so spend a laid-back morning wandering around the galleries, then stop at a café for a bite to eat and a spot of people-watching. In the afternoon, leave the village and its elegant Norwegian wooden houses, to drive back to Egilsstaðir.
There's just time to return your hire car, before boarding the internal flight back to Reykjavík. A member of our team will greet you to make sure you catch your transfer to your hotel for the night.
Day 8: Home
And just like that, your Iceland Arctic Coast Way fly-drive adventure has sadly come to an end. Enjoy your final Icelandic breakfast, before catching your transfer to Keflavík international airport. From here, it's a short flight - just over three hours - back to London.

by michaeld | Nov 8, 2018
COLUMBUS, Ohio – November 8, 2018 – Core Molding Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: CMT) ("Core Molding", "Core" or the "Company") today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.
Strong sales growth continued in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2018, led by the first quarter 2018 acquisition of Horizon Plastics International, Inc. ("Horizon Plastics") and by increased demand from North American heavy-duty truck customers. Net sales increased $26.2 million or 68% and $73.7 million or 60% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018 compared to the same periods last year. Excluding Horizon Plastics' sales of $14.8 million and $47.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, net sales increased 30% and 21% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018 versus the same periods of 2017.
The Company's net income declined to a net loss of $1.8 million and $0.8 million for the third quarter and year-to-date 2018 compared to net income of $0.9 million and $4.7 million for the third quarter and year-to-date 2017. "Operational challenges we faced in the first part of the year continued to impact our financial performance during the third quarter," said David Duvall, newly appointed President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our highest priority is to quickly achieve operational stability to improve our financial results," Duvall continued.
Third Quarter 2018 Compared to Third Quarter 2017:
Net sales were $64.7 million compared to $38.5 million.
Product sales were $62.3 million compared to $37.6 million.
Gross margin was 7.5% compared to 14.9%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.3 million compared to $4.4 million.
Operating loss was $1.5 million compared to operating income of $1.4 million.
Net loss was $1.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared with net income of $.9 million, or $0.11 per diluted share.
First Nine Months of 2018 Compared to First Nine Months of 2017:
Net sales were $196.3 million compared to $122.6 million.
Product sales were $187.2 million compared to $110.7 million.
Gross margin was 10.5% compared to 16.0%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $19.6 million compared to $12.5 million.
Operating income was $1.1 million compared to $7.1 million.
Net loss was $.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with net income of $4.7 million, or $0.61 per diluted share.
Third quarter and year-to-date 2018 gross margin was negatively affected by operational inefficiencies and higher costs. "The Company implemented several changes during the quarter to improve operational and financial performance, but the results of those changes are not fully reflected in the financial results for the third quarter," said John Zimmer, Chief Financial Officer. "We expect the addition of our new Chief Executive Officer, David Duvall, and our new Vice President of Operations, Eric Palomaki, to accelerate the speed of change and to stabilize the Company's operations," Zimmer concluded.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, compared to the same periods of 2017, primarily due to the Horizon Plastics acquisition and higher labor and professional fees. As a result of the Horizon Plastics acquisition, the Company incurred ongoing operating costs of the new entity along with amortization costs for acquired intangible assets. The Company also incurred one-time acquisition transaction costs in January 2018 of $1.3 million.
The one-time acquisition transaction costs negatively impacted net income by $0.9 million ($1.3 million pre-tax), or $0.12 per share for the first nine months of 2018. Excluding the one-time costs, the Company's net income for the first nine months of 2018 would have been $0.1 million or $0.01 per diluted share. The Horizon Plastics acquisition, excluding one-time transaction costs, contributed earnings of $0.29 per basic and diluted share for the first nine months of 2018.
Financial Position at September 30, 2018:
Total assets of $192.1 million.
Total debt of $41.8 million.
Stockholders' equity of $102.8 million.
The Company's debt to equity ratio is 41%. The Company's debt obligations contain covenant provisions related to leverage and fixed charge coverage. As of September 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants, however, due to the lower earnings in the first nine months of 2018, the margin by which the Company exceeds its covenant limits has declined. Continued lower earnings will put debt covenant compliance at risk in the future.
Duvall stated, "We expect sales levels to remain strong the remainder of 2018 and into 2019 due to strong forecasts for truck production from the North American heavy-duty truck market and continued sales increases due to the acquisition of Horizon Plastics. Industry analysts are projecting 2018 heavy-duty truck production levels to be approximately 317,000 units, with even higher volumes going into the first part of 2019."
Duvall continued, "In the short time I have been with Core I have met with some of our major customers, visited several production facilities and became acquainted with many of the great employees we have at Core. The challenges Core has faced over the last year are not new to me and I look forward to solving these challenges as a team." Palomaki stated, "In just a few short weeks teams at all plants have already demonstrated an eagerness to apply lean manufacturing techniques throughout the operations to drive improvements. We have already seen key operational metrics begin to improve thanks to the renewed engagement of our people."

Kanye West reportedly asked for $1million for use of a song in 'Lockwood & Co'
Kanye West reportedly asked for $1million (£810,000) from Netflix for a song of his to be used in new series Lockwood & Co.
The new detective thriller from Joe Cornish debuts on the streaming service this Friday (January 27).
The creator discussed in a press conference how he wanted to use the song 'Kids See Ghosts', from Kanye's 2018 album with Kid Cudi under the same pseudonym, during the show.
"But then we tried to clear it and Kanye asked for something like a million dollars – and we had to re-up it every year or something," Cornish revealed (via Metro).
He added that, aside from the extortionate fee being requested, the rapper's recent behaviour meant that "maybe that wouldn't be such a good shout" regardless.
A synopsis for Lockwood & Co reads: "In London, where the most gifted teenage ghost-hunters venture nightly into perilous combat with deadly spirits, amidst the many corporate, adult-run agencies, one stands alone: independent of any commercial imperative or adult supervision – a tiny startup, run by two teenage boys and a newly arrived, supremely psychically gifted girl, a renegade trio destined to unravel a mystery that will change the course of history: Lockwood & Co."
Elsewhere, there are reports that Kanye West is planning a trip to Australia with Bianca Censori – the Australian woman and Yeezy employee it's rumoured he "married" in an unofficial ceremony earlier this month.
Multiple Australian outlets have reported that West is set to visit the country to meet the family of Censori, who is originally from Melbourne.
However, Dvir Abramovich, the chairman of Jewish-Australian community organisation the Anti-Defamation Commission, has called for West to be denied entry into the country due to his stream of antisemitic remarks throughout 2022.
West's antisemitic remarks drew strong backlash last year, and led to professional consequences such as Adidas ending its long-running Yeezy partnership with the rapper, calling his actions "unacceptable, hateful and dangerous". Balenciaga severed ties with West, his Yeezy products were removed from Gap stores they were previously stocked in, athletes Jaylen Brown and Aaron Donald left his Donda Sports agency, and his Donda Academy closed.

As the kitchen recycling container fills up, it can be taken to the basement or garage for separation of materials. It only takes a minute or two and recycling is an easy way to be a part of the green movement!

The economic case for more immigration
By Globe and Mail |
Canada is becoming increasingly reliant on immigration for its labour-force growth, which in turn is a key component of economic prosperity. However, not all Canadians may be aware of this beneficial impact of immigration. Understanding it better may shed light on debates over the country's immigration policy.
Because of rapid population aging over the past decade, the labour force is shrinking as a percentage of the population, as the rate of participation of Canadians in the work force drops sharply past the age of 64. In order to mitigate the negative impacts of this demographic change on the economy and government finances, the federal government has been raising Canada's annual immigration intake.
While high immigration alone is unable to fully offset population aging, it has been the major contributor to Canada's population and labour-force growth.
Yet according to recent polling, 37 per cent of Canadians hold negative views toward immigration. Among their reasons might be concern about labour-market effects. But there is no evidence to support that fear even with higher immigration levels planned for the coming years.
How newcomers affect employment and wages depends on various factors, such as the size of the inflow, skill composition of immigrants and the rate of integration into the labour market.
Despite a number of minor spikes and falls since 2009, annual immigration as a share of Canada's total population has been relatively flat, near 0.8 per cent. Meanwhile the proportion of working-age population (15 to 64) declined by about 3 per cent to 66.7 per cent in 2018.
Given that immigrants are generally younger than the majority of Canadians, increasing the immigration level to 0.9 per cent of the population would help slow the pace of decline in the working-age population. Furthermore, in Canada unemployment has trended downward owing to the current economic expansion, reflecting the difficulty employers have finding qualified candidates to fill jobs given the increasing competition for skills. Such shortages tend to increase wages for candidates with the right skills. In that context, immigration can fill the gaps without depressing wages, benefiting all Canadians.
Indeed, a successful immigration policy is not necessarily about increasing the working-age population, but rather ensuring that more people are able to participate in the work force to fill the vacant jobs without negatively affecting the outcomes of the existing work force.
Evidence shows not only that an influx of immigrants has limited or no adverse impact on wages, at least in the medium or long term, but an inflow of highly educated immigrants can reduce wage inequality since these immigrants tend to be competing with highly educated native-born individuals.

Q: Adding CSS @keyframes animation to state change in React app I have a React + Flux application with react-router for routing. There's a .button component whith .button_active CSS class toggled to it in React's onClick event as well as the toggled:true state is being added to the button object on top of the app via a Flux Action.
So the .button_active class has CSS @keyframes animation attached to it to animate the state change of the .button from regular to active and vice versa.
Everything works well except that the animation is fired not only on click (state change), but also on every route change (the .button_active className is in place, but the parent div is being created/destroyed each time the route changes so the animation keeps on firing).
Is there a way to avoid such behavior but still use the @keyframes animation to animate the state changes?
Thanks!

A: I think you can try to remove the .button_active in componentWillUnmount(), maybe this will work.

UN: Saudi cluster bombs Yemen's residential areas
Published August 25th, 2016 - 02:00 GMT
Saudi Arabia has targeted Yemen with airstrikes on an almost daily basis. (AFP/File)
The UN human rights office says the Saudi military is using cluster bombs against residential areas in Yemen in violation of international law, blaming the Riyadh regime for most of the civilian casualties in its impoverished southern neighbor.
On Thursday, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Zeid al-Hussein called for the creation of an independent international body to investigate cases of human rights violations in conflict-ridden Yemen.
"Civilians in Yemen have suffered unbearably over the years from the effects of a number of simultaneous and overlapping armed conflicts," Hussein said in a statement, adding that "they continue to suffer...while those responsible for the violations and abuses against them enjoy impunity."
The UN official further said "such a manifestly protracted unjust situation must no longer be tolerated by the international community," calling for "an international, independent investigative body" to be established.
On May 6, Human Rights Watch (HRW) criticized the United States for selling cluster munitions to Saudi Arabia, urging Riyadh to stop using such banned arms that leave behind unexploded sub-munitions and endanger civilians.
Steve Goose, arms director at HRW and chair of the Cluster Munition Coalition, an international coalition of groups working to eradicate cluster munitions, said Saudi Arabia has used various types of US-made cluster munitions, including CBU-105 Sensor Fuzed Weapons, in its war against Yemen despite evidence of mounting civilian casualties.
Experts say CBU-105 is designed to explode above the ground and project an explosively formed jet of metal and fragmentation downward. The cluster ammunition is equipped with electronic self-destruct and self-deactivation features.
On April 7, HRW said its investigators traveled to a town in Yemen's northwestern province of Hajjah the day after the attack and identified 97 civilians killed in the strike, including 25 children. The team said another 10 bodies were burned beyond recognition, bringing the total number of victims to 107.
They found fragments of a GBU-31 satellite-guided bomb as well as its guidance equipment supplied by the US, matching an earlier report by British television network ITV.
The US has backed the Saudi campaign in Yemen. In November last year, Washington approved a USD 1.29 billion rearming program for Riyadh, including thousands of similar bombs.
Saudi Arabia has pounded Yemen almost daily since March 2015, with internal sources putting the death toll from the military aggression at about 10,000. The offensive was launched to crush the Houthi Ansarullah movement and their allies and restore Hadi to power.
The Houthi fighters took state matters into their own hands in the wake of Hadi's resignation and escape, which threw Yemen into a state of uncertainty and threatened a total security breakdown in the country, where an al-Qaeda affiliate is present.

Here are some more terms and their definitions that are commonly used to describe network quality and some metrics that should be monitored throughout the network to be able to isolate any issues and quickly determine the source of the problem.
PCR (Program Clock Reference) – is a value in the transport stream that provides a means for the decoder to lock its video output clock to the video input clock to the encoder that is providing the transport stream.
Jitter – is an error in a digital signal caused by timing variations.
Network Jitter – is the deviation between the time when a packet is expected and when the packet actually arrives. A packet can either arrive earlier or later relative to other packets causing a variable arrival of data packets.
PCR Jitter – is inaccuracy in the PCR as received by the decoder. PCR Jitter can be attributed to two sources, PCR accuracy error caused by the encoder and jitter in the network.
PCR_OJ (PCR overall jitter) – is a metric defined by TR 101 290. This metric includes both encoder caused PCR inaccuracies as well as jitter induced by variability in the network.
IAT (Interpacket Arrival Time) – is a metric that indicates the variability of the arrival of IP packets on the network. If the IAT has too much variability, the decoder will have difficulty recovering the PCR. And in a really bad case, the decoder buffers could underflow.
Packet Loss – is simply the failure of one or more of the transmitted packets to arrive at the desired destination. If the stream is sent using RTP, a monitoring device can use the RTP sequence number to determine if any packets have been lost.
Monitoring multiple points throughout the network provides valuable insight to potential issues and helps insure signal quality to the viewer. By monitoring multiple points, when a timing problem is identified, it can be narrowed down to the equipment between two monitoring points.

Adobe Pixel Bender, previously codenamed Hydra, is a programming language created by Adobe Systems for the description of image processing algorithms. The syntax is based on GLSL, and a Pixel Bender program is analogous to an OpenGL fragment shader, and is intended to be a loosely typed version of C++.

Adobe Systems' Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit is the IDE for scripting with Pixel Bender. Pixel Bender programs are intended to be used in a number of Adobe products, and was supported by After Effects (through CS5) and Flash Player. The Pixel Bender Toolkit was bundled with Adobe's Creative Suite, and allowed programs to be created and tested. It is available as a free standalone from Adobe's website.

In addition to its primary purpose of image processing, Pixel Bender can also be used for general mathematical operations which would benefit from the hardware acceleration that it provides. An example of this is audio processing.

Personal attorney to President Donald Trump and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani says the Democrats who said accused Trump of "collusion" with the Russians should apologize.
Giuliani called the Democratic leadership "shameless" as they continue to suggest the report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's 22-month investigation leaves doubt about Trump's innocence.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani talks to Fox & Friends about the release of the Mueller report, March 25, 2019. Fox News screenshot.
On Sunday, Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders demanded "the whole damn report," even though significant portions cannot be released due to security and privacy concerns.

ProSportsDaily.com > Basketball > NBA > Should Pop Shave His Beard?
View Full Version : Should Pop Shave His Beard?
Many thought Greg Popovich's beard was just an over the summer thing. But clearly, he shows no intentions of shaving it. Is it a sign of wisdom to help symbolize he's the godfather of the league, because he's the best coach, or did he suddenly develop a phobia at the sight of shavers? Or maybe he's still pissed off about the lopsided trades that have been going on in the NBA, and hes doing this to stick it to the man (David Stern) and his nazi dress policy. No one knows but Pop, but what do you make of this?
no i like the "flare"
Dear god get it out of here. Pops looks like a ****ing caveman with that beard.
Besides, it covers whatever is up with his skin.
He prolly killed Santa...like in that Tim Allen movie.
x3,but I would love to see him keep so he can keep making a fool out of himself.
To answer the question, yes, personally.
He should just shave the whole thing off.
It got kind of a rustic look to it.
x7 on beards > no beards. I'm diggin the beard Pop keep it going!
I say keep it, and raise money for cancer or something to shave all the hair on his head off at a game.
wow why care how he looks like?

As you may be aware, the Government has announced plans to launch a new Tax-free Childcare scheme in autumn 2015 which will eventually replace the existing Childcare Voucher scheme.
If you are a parent currently receiving Childcare Vouchers, you may be impacted by the changes proposed as the new Tax-Free Childcare scheme will limit access to the scheme based on income and is targeted to working families, where both parents work. One of the key changes is that the scheme will no longer be administered through Employers, enabling self-employed and lower income families to benefit going forward.
Read on for further information and to see whether this change may impact you.
What is the current Childcare Voucher scheme?
Under the current Childcare Voucher scheme, parents can exchange up to £243 of their gross salary per month for childcare vouchers. These 'salary sacrifice' funds are exempt from tax and NI contributions and can save a family up to £1'866 in tax per annum. The total salary sacrifice that can be converted to childcare vouchers depends on your tax band, for example parents in the basic rate tax bracket can each save up to £933 in tax a year. Both parents are eligible to enter the scheme and if they save the maximum value this equates to savings of up to £1'866 per annum.
Childcare Vouchers can then be used to pay for all forms of childcare up to the age of 16, including nannies, childminders, nurseries etc as long as the childcare provider is Ofsted registered (or the equivalent authority in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland), or approved under the voluntary Childcare Approval Scheme.
In order to benefit from the existing Childcare Voucher scheme, your Employer needs to provide the option of salary sacrifice via Childcare Vouchers.
For more information on the current Childcare Voucher scheme, see the HMRC website.
What is the proposed Tax-Free Childcare scheme?
The Government will subsidise 20% of childcare costs (equivalent to the basic rate of tax), up to a limit of £6'000 per child per year, which equates to a saving of up to £1'200 per child per year. Once the scheme is fully up and running, it can save a typical working family with two children under 12 up to £2'400 per year.
The new scheme will only be eligible to working families where both parents work (or one parent works in single-parent families).
In the first year of the scheme, only children up to the age of 5, born in or after September 2010 will be eligible for childcare vouchers. This eligibility will increase to 6 in the second year, and so on until all children up to the age of 11 are included. Once the scheme is fully functioning, eligibility will end in the September following the child's 11th birthday.
The scheme will be available to all eligible working parents and unlike the current Childcare Voucher scheme it will not be offered via Employers.
The funding will not be deducted from a parent's salary, therefore those on low incomes and self-employed individuals will be eligible to use the new scheme.
The new scheme will be run by Childcare Voucher providers, where funds will be collected from parents and from the Government in an online voucher account. Childcare providers can then be paid directly from the account with one payment.
For more information on the proposed Tax-Free Childcare scheme, see the GOV.UK website.
Please note that the Tax-Free Childcare scheme details above are not final and may change pending the outcome of the consultation in mid-October 2013; final scheme details will be communicated in due course.
Who is eligible for the new Tax-Free Childcare scheme?
The new Tax-Free Childcare scheme will be available for all working families where both parents work or one parent works in single-parent families. The scheme will initially be for parents of children under the age of five and will be open to both employed and self-employed parents.
Eligibility of children will be aligned to the school year so that children in the same year will be treated consistently and parents can receive support with their costs for the whole school year.
Parents who are on paid maternity, paternity or adoption leave will still be eligible to receive Tax-Free Childcare; and couples in which one parent works and the other receives Employment and Support Allowance or Carers' Allowance will also be eligible for the scheme.
Each working parent must earn less than £150'000 a year; if both parents earn £149'999, they will still be eligible.
The scheme is not available to individuals claiming tax credits (or Universal Credits).
Families with two parents where just one parent works will not be eligible for the scheme. There will be few exceptions to this rule, including if the non-working parent is a full time carer, disabled or in full-time education.
Tax-free Childcare will be accessible to more parents than the current Childcare Voucher scheme as it includes the self-employed and those on low incomes.
Families with two or more children in childcare and single parents with one or more children in childcare will receive an increase in savings on the new scheme compared to the savings made with the current Childcare Vouchers scheme.
The new Tax-free Childcare scheme requires that both parents are working, so those families where only one parent works will not be able to access the new scheme.
Families with two working parents and only one child in childcare can currently save up to £1'866 using Childcare Vouchers. Under the new Tax-free scheme however, the maximum saving is £1'200 resulting in a potential loss of £666.
Tax-free Childcare will not be available for families where one or both parents earn over £150'000 per annum.
Families with children born before September 2010 will not be able to access the scheme.
If you are not yet using childcare vouchers and your employer offers a salary sacrifice voucher scheme, join the scheme and contribute the maximum you can afford (up to £243 per month, depending on your tax bracket).
If you are already exchanging a minimal part of your salary for vouchers, increase the amount to the maximum value allowed according to your tax band.
By doing the above now, you could save up to £933 in tax per year or £1'866 saving per family if both parents join. You will also be able to 'save' any Childcare Vouchers accumulated for future use.
Note: Childcare Vouchers can be used to pay for registered childcare until your child is 16, under the current Childcare Voucher scheme. Childcare Vouchers will remain in place for a set period (yet to be agreed) after the new scheme is implemented, however they will only be available for those who joined a Childcare Voucher scheme before autumn 2015.

GMB general secretary Tim Roache has put gig companies on notice to improve working conditions after his union's ground-breaking recognition deal with Hermes.
The union yesterday signed a deal to ensure Hermes' self-employed couriers have the option to take holiday pay and have guaranteed earnings.
Writing on the GMB website, Tim Roache said: "I've said it before and I'll say it again – the profits of companies in the 'gig econony' are made on the back of their workers. Too many jobs in our society are paid too little but those in the gig economy often experience increased insecurity, lower pay, long hours with tough (in some cases unrealistic) targets, for all of that, many end up paid below the minimum wage.
"For years now, GMB has been calling out those companies who try wriggle out of their most basic responsibilities to their workers. Our case against Uber made international headlines when that poster child for the gig economy was told that their business model was not legal in the UK.
"I'm proud to announce a groundbreaking deal that companies across the gig economy should sit up and take notice of. We're launching a landmark agreement between Hermes, the leading consumer delivery company, and GMB union.
"This is the first collective bargaining agreement of its type, it will give enhaced rights and a real voice at work to self-employed workers in Hermes.
"From today onwards couriers have the option to become 'self-employed plus'. This will allow workers to retain the flexibility of self-employment (which many of our courier members want) while also giving them the certainty of guaranteed levels of earning, holiday pay and a a recognised union in their workplace.
"This is a win for Hermes workers, and for the company itself. Hermes is showing that as the world of work has changed, employers can change with it for everyone's benefit.
"Our fight in GMB has never been against new technology or industry. We've been around for 130 years, the working world has changed a lot in that time and we're still here, we're still growing. As a truly modern union we understand that shoppers want convenience and to have the world at their fingertips, but that doesn't have to come at the expense of some very hard working people who are doing their best to get on in life.


The Joerger Enterprises VBT CAMAC Visual Branch Terminator is a double width CAMAC module. The module provides a visual display of each branch cycle, in addition to terminating the branch highway. The model VBT is especially valuable in trouble shooting a branch system. In its "normal" mode of operation branch signal data is strobed into memory for display. This is done after the system has recognized that all active crates have responded (by bringing their BTB signals up) and the system acknowledges this by returning its BTA signal to logic "0". This is the same time that the system will accept its data and so the display will present visually the same data that has been accepted by the system during that cycle. This module then eliminates the problem of synchronizing on a scope branch data with BTA in order to determine their signal levels at that time and thus greatly simplifies trouble shooting on the branch. As an extra feature the module also has a "static" mode. This allows you to look directly at the branch signals bypassing the memory. This feature can also prove valuable during trouble shooting. The model VBT can also be an asset to an operating system as an indicator verifying branch cycles. Through the use of low power integrated circuits, power consumption is kept to a minimum.

Q: Randomize divs with PHP echos in them Normally when I randomize divs with every reload I use the following PHP snippet. However, in one section of my site this doesn't work, because the images in each div is echo from a PHP array which contains a number of specific images for that div:
 <?php
    $news_array1 = array(

    '

    <?php echo display_random_img($array01); ?>

',

    '

    <?php echo display_random_img($array01); ?>

',

    );

    shuffle($news_array1);
    for($i=1; $i<3; $i++)
    {
        echo array_shift($news_array1);
    }

    ?>

Does anyone how I can randomly display these divs? They remain black at this point, as the echo within the divs doesn't work anymore. It's getting a little frustrating...

A: You can't open php in a php tag. By the way, why do you want to use for and array_shift? You could use foreach to handle this.
<?php
    $news_array1 = array(
        '

            ' . display_random_img($array01) . '

',

        '

            ' . display_random_img($array01) . '

',
    );

    shuffle($news_array1);
    foreach($news_array1 as $item)
    {
        echo $item;
    }
?>

I write with bittersweet excitement to reveal the new interim editor in chief of Chronicles. As our readers know, Aaron Wolf was to become the editor in chief this year, but passed away suddenly on Easter Sunday. Aaron was an exceptional man and a wonderful, loyal editor for Chronicles, serving the institution for 20 years. Not a day goes by that we don't miss his grace and intellect.
Nonetheless, Chronicles must "keep coming out," as Aaron was fond of saying. After many months of searching, we are delighted to announce Dr. Paul Gottfried, a name familiar to Chronicles readers, as our new editor in chief effective Nov. 1, 2019. Edward Welsch, who has done yeoman's work to keep Chronicles on course, will continue as the executive editor.
Gottfried has been a steadfast intellectual powerhouse for the Old Right for many decades. Just how many? Well, let's just say that Leopold Tyrmand and John Howard made him one of the original contributors to Chronicles a year before I was born. Paul brings with him bountiful knowledge and wisdom gained from years of study. He joins The Charlemagne Institute and Chronicles magazine from his position as the Raffensperger Professor of Humanities Emeritus at Elizabethtown College, where he taught for 25 years. He is a Guggenheim recipient, a Yale Ph.D., and the author of 13 books, most recently Fascism:...
