How LemonBrew Lending is taking partnerships to the next level
Care, honesty and transparency are key

When LemonBrew Lending (formerly SD Capital Funding) was founded 11 years ago in New Jersey, its team was laser-focused on client service and satisfaction because referrals were the main driver of its business.
Now, after expanding to 13 other states and cementing its place as Quicken Loans Mortgage Services' top broker partner, the company has not changed its strategy.
The team discovered as long as it treats clients as partners, there will be more positive interactions, which will lead to more referrals.
Jason Doshi, President, LemonBrew Lending
"You hear horror stories, whether from banks or brokers, of terms and conditions changing at the last minute, not delivering on what was promised or not being able to close at all," LemonBrew Lending President Jason Doshi said. "Our philosophies of being transparent, putting the client first and communicating throughout the process have helped build a lot of trust in our community."
After a decade of being open and honest with clients, LemonBrew Lending found the horror stories cease to exist if team members go into transactions being transparent and holding themselves accountable.
When brokers are not buying leads, building relationships is the best way to generate business and treating clients right is the best way to retain them, Doshi explained.
Whether the referrals were from family members, friends or even professional relationships with real estate agents, attorneys and accountants – from day one the primary way LemonBrew Lending continued to source referrals was by maintaining their reputation of being brokers who do the right thing.
Samir Dedhia, Principal, LemonBrew Lending
"We like to make ourselves accessible to help others. It is part of relationship building – that is the long-term strategy to growth – creating connections so you have a million well-wishers around you," LemonBrew Lending Principal Samir Dedhia said.
As LemonBrew Lending was starting to grow, a new lender stepped into the broker space that was emphasizing a similar message around partnerships. QLMS, Dedhia said, was one of the first lenders they interacted with who referred to them as "partners."
This allowed for a unique meshing of company cultures and led to both parties growing exponentially together. The idea of a broker-lender partnership was a change of pace from how the two parties interacted in the past.
"Back in the day, when you would talk to other lenders, they would never refer to you as a partner. They would call you the broker and they were the lender, and that caused some personality clashes because there was no goal for mutual success," Dedhia said.
"Will two partners always see eye to eye? No, but at the end of the day the true meaning of partnership, especially with QLMS, evolved to a point where we could get onto a phone call and disagree with each other but, since we are partners, we don't yell and scream. We are going to understand both sides of the issue and try to figure out a solution rather than focus on a problem."
This type of reciprocal partnership is essential to the mutual success of both lenders and brokers.
There needs to be a good amount of give and take, and with that comes a greater understanding of each other. That is something that every broker should be translating to their client interactions.
"We take that same approach with our clients. They are not just clients, there is a partnership there. They came to us because they value our knowledge, experience and the information we provide, but we also value them because they are coming to us with their business and trusting us with one of the largest purchases of their life," Dedhia said.
"We always want the client to know we are on their team. If we have to lose a little bit of money to get the deal done or if we have to work some extra hours, we're going to do it."
What LemonBrew Lending has clearly displayed over the last 11 years of experience is that partnerships, whether between brokers and lenders or brokers and clients, should be deeply valued as an integral part of anyone's success.
They should be handled in the same way, with care, honesty and transparency, so all parties know what to expect and how to succeed.
By treating both lenders and clients as partners, brokers can build lasting relationships and generate referrals with partners they know they can trust.

A moment of silence…
We take a moment to acknowledge the names of the dancers that were lost at Star Ballroom, in Monterey Park, CA, on the Lunar New Year. This tragedy feels personal to dance communities everywhere, but particularly to Los Angeles dancers, who often dance at or near the studio where this crime took place.
The dance floor is, for many of us, a place of comfort, of acceptance, and of happiness. Seeing it affected by the anger of one person is heart-breaking. We send condolences to the families and the friends who are now left grieving loved ones.
We also acknowledge the lives lost just hours later in Half Moon Bay, CA. While the full list of names has not yet been released, we know that their souls are significant and that people are now suffering their loss.
There are hardly proper words to express the disappointment that comes from seeing so many, so often, fall to gun violence. The feeling of helplessness is hard to shake. Still, we must remember that there are more good people in the world than bad, and that we must strive to keep in their company so as to give one another moments of bliss and, in cases like these, of solace.
If you want to be of practical help, here's also information as to where you can donate money in support of the families affected.
May the dance floor continue to be a place for us to love one another.

La popularitat és la qualitat de ser àmpliament conegut, usualment per motius positius. Les persones populars són un model per a altres, que coneixen aspectes de la seva vida i el seu caràcter, sovint estereotipat en un parell de trets de personalitat que són els que la gent identifica amb el personatge. Es relaciona estretament amb la fama i la reputació.

En època contemporània les persones populars són sobretot artistes, famosos de televisió i líders de grup, especialment a l'adolescència.

La popularitat desperta emocions positives en les altres persones, que es veuen reflectides en sentiments d'amistat i respecte, un prejudici positiu cap a allò que fa la persona popular i una activació del lòbul de l'ínsula del cervell. La popularitat d'una persona augmenta les seves possibilitats de tenir influència social.

The recent news media coverage of Caitlyn (formerly Bruce) Jenner's coming out as transgender — and the storyline of Sophia (played by Laverne Cox) on Orange Is The New Black — has brought to the national forefront issues of a community that has largely been neglected in the pursuit of gay marriage. Transgender men and women are traditionally grouped under the "LGBT" umbrella but have different needs and goals from their LGB brethren. By identifying with a gender different from the one they were assigned at birth, trans men and trans women must navigate additional daily obstacles, such as how and when to transition (regardless of plans for gender-affirming surgery), which bathroom to use in public places, and how to find safe and non-judgmental medical care. Transgender individuals are at higher risk for assault, for mental health issues, for drug abuse, and for suicide.
As physicians and public health professionals, we have a duty to help all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. However, many patients are refused care because of their transgender status, and many avoid seeking care altogether because of discrimination by healthcare providers. Thankfully, websites like TransRecord are aiming to connect trans individuals with knowledgeable and non-discriminatory providers (see a news article about this here).
To add insult to injury, however, most medical schools don't cover LGBT health in their curriculum; at most, LGBT health becomes equated with HIV/AIDS treatment and STI screening. Some electives and student groups exist to fill in those gaps, such as the newly formed Sexuality & Medicine group at my former medical school, but that only helps those students who are already interested in this topic. More needs to be done to improve the quality of sexuality and transgender health in medical education at large, so that even those students who wouldn't otherwise seek it out can gain familiarity with these topics.
The social, political, economic, and curricular barriers to better healthcare are staggering. However, we can begin to break down these barriers by informing ourselves and informing others about transgender health issues. Here are some links for more background on trans health issures, generally accepted medical care protocols and guidelines, and ways to advocate for trans health rights. I have resolved to learn more about these issues myself, and incorporate this knowledge into my daily practice.

We should all strive to be better. If you know of an additional resource or organization worth mentioning, please contribute in the comments below!
Interesting. It is sad to me that these individuals avoid going to the doctors, thus their own well-being due to judgement. I hope they can get the healthcare they need and deserve.
I hope healthcare is better soon so everyone can get help if they need it.
The less judgement our health care teams put upon people who are different, the more healthy our transgender will become.

I have a few lectures covering that topic this semester – I doubt that they will be sufficient, but I'm excited nonetheless.


Consumers demand cheaper, healthier and better food. Real Ag speaks to the people making these demands a reality. Modern agriculture would not be possible without veterinary medicine. Real Ag brings you a closer look at food animals veterinarians.


Pick It Up may receive a commission for purchases made through a referral link for Keepy at the end of this article.
If you have kids, you know they love to create! From stick-figure family portraits to clay animals, they love to make, make, make. And you, of course, are the recipient of these amazing artistic gifts.
But, you may ask, what do I do with all of these masterpieces? The artwork is covering the refrigerator, piled on their desk and pouring out of drawers. As this recent Atlantic Monthly article shows, it's definitely something parents struggle with!
There is no single best way to handle all of your kids' art, but after trial and error, here are a few strategies I have developed to help parents to appreciate, honor, share, and maybe even let go of some of it.
This strategy focuses on making it easy to display, swap out and store your kid's art. First, create a temporary holder for the incoming artwork. I like using a woven storage bin or large document case for this purpose. Regularly purge through the pile, saving only the very best pieces.
Next, set up a little gallery with some twine and clothespins. Swapping the art out is so easy that even the artist themselves can do it! Once an exhibition comes down, keep items for long-term storage in a handled portfolio labeled with each child's name.
This strategy is all about displaying and appreciating your kid's artwork. As with the first strategy, make a temporary storage area for the constant influx of art and regularly purge through the contents.
Next, display the best pieces with style in Dynamic Frames. These look like traditional frames, but the glass front hinges open to make changing the artwork easy.
At the end of the school year, whittle down the artwork to a manageable amount and permanently store it in a legal size expanding wallet labeled with the school year.
This strategy is for those that love sharing and technology. As with the other strategies, make a temporary storage area for the constant influx of art and regularly purge through the contents.
Next, snap photos of the best pieces and share them with an app like Keepy. Keepy makes it easy to digitally organize and save artwork, schoolwork, and mementos. Since it is a digital platform, you can easily share your kids' artwork, videos and audio clips with friends and family and they can share their thoughts back as well. Keepy is about more than archiving your kids' art, it's a community platform with so many fun uses.
Keepy also makes it easy to print photo books of your kids' art. If you do, be sure to use the code PICKITUPSF20 at checkout to get 20% off! By using this referral code, Pick It Up does receive a commission.
Of course, you can create your own individual strategy for managing your kids' artwork using any combination of the above ideas. The most important thing is to have a plan, or the art and school work can easily take over!
If your little artist needs a dedicated studio space, take a look at my Kid Art Area Pinterest board for some ideas on making creative spaces. Alternately, feel free to book a session to help tackle the art spaces and artwork together!

Now that we are back in the swing of school, many of us are helping our kids build healthy and independent routines. Recently, I discovered The Trip Clip. It's a website where you can design personalized charts, lists, and routines for your kids. When finished, the chart is saved as a PDF that you can print yourself. You can also go in and edit the chart as your child's routine changes.
The Trip Clip offers morning, bedtime and after-school routines, lunch and packing lists, and chore charts, just to name a few. What's really cool is that you get to choose the icons and the wording for each list you create.
The Trip Clip also has tons of printable activities for kids like coloring pages, mazes, math games, bingo, and crossword puzzles. There is a multitude of options for each game and activity. And, it's extremely reasonable as well, at $14.95 for access to all activities on the site. Print a bunch and be ready for that next road trip!

The Good German
Opening 1 Mar 2007
Directed by: Steven Soderbergh
Writing credits: Paul Attanasio, Joseph Kanon
Principal actors: George Clooney, Tobey Maguire, Cate Blanchett, John Roeder, Jack Thompson
The story is based on Joseph Kanon's book In the Ruins of Berlin, for which Paul Attanasio wrote the screenplay. Director Steven Soderbergh filmed in black and white as well as in the style of the 1940s, skilfully adding original footage, reflecting the atmosphere and mood of the time.
In Berlin 1945, at the end of World War II, the victorious Allied Forces assemble for a Peace Conference. Corporal Tully (Tobey Maguire) is driving war correspondent Jake Geismer (George Clooney, Oscar/Golden Globe for Syriana; Ocean's series) through the ruins of Berlin, cheerfully praising the flourishing Black Market. Jake has been in Berlin before, working for a news agency – and it was then that he fell in love with Lena. It turns out that Lena Brandt (Cate Blanchett, Oscar for The Aviator; Babel, Notes on a Scandal) is now the girlfriend of young Tully, the little dealer and corrupt hustler. Lena tries to hide from Jake, pretending they hardly know each other. She is not the only one telling half-truths or outright lies. Almost all characters act unpredictably, and one can only guess at their shady intentions and motives. Times are uncertain and peace seems still very fragile.
Corporal Tully is found floating in the river in the Russian Zone with a bullet in his chest, 100,000 German Marks cash stashed in his pockets. The officials don't seem to care much. Jake's curiosity is raised, particularly as all leads point to Lena. He wants to revive their love affair but she has turned into a cold, emotionless woman and her queer behaviour is a total mystery. Her room mate Hannelore (Robin Weigert) adds the only light and cheerful touch to this melodramatic thriller.
What is Lena hiding? Her husband, Emil Brandt (Christian Oliver), once worked with Hitler's engineering team developing V2 rocket missiles. The Americans (Beau Bridges as Colonel Muller) as well as the Russians (Ravil Isyanov as General Sikorsky) are desperately looking for the blueprints. Whoever is in possession of such dangerous information has the upper hand in any future dispute (the Cold War already looming on the horizon!). But Brandt only wants to tell the appalling truth of the gruelling conditions when thousands of forced labourers were dying miserably in the underground military factories. He is the "good" (but naïve) German. (Birgit Schrumpf)
Director Soderbergh always wanted to make a film in this 1940's noir style and said that although this was not very well received in America, he hoped it would do better in Europe. This is a post-war conspiracy film in Berlin which uses the camera and lighting techniques of the time. Jake Geismer (Clooney) a journalist who has lost his way through the war but ends up back in his old stomping grounds, thinks things will look up once he runs into his old flame Lena Brandt (Blanchett) who is coupled with Corporal Tully (Maguire). Tully is an American optimistic entrepreneur who has used the war to his financial gain. He had the best job in the army as supply driver giving free access to the black market trade with the Russians. His sudden death at the hand of the Russians changes the film dramatically. We are all relieved since his character was so annoying and spews nothing but clichés in a loud tone.
What's great about all the one liners in the old films like Casablanca is that the lines were original and later adapted to the film. In The Good German, the lines are not original and unfortunately ruin the film. Soderbergh needs to work on his casting, especially when he is trying a different style of film that demands a lot. Lena's character isn't believable since Blanchett doesn't speak German. Why not get a German actress? There are plenty of them who are talented as well. The style of this movie demands so many different things that it must have been a challenging film to make, but it certainly did not pay off in the end to the modern audience.

IDRIS 'DRIS' ELBA – PEOPLE MAGAZINE'S 2018 SEXIEST MAN ALIVE
Posted on November 6, 2018 by alanmichaelsdesign1
Idris Elba Is PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive 2018: "It's 'an Ego Boost for Sure"
Julie Jordan
Sure, he might have already received the title of 'Order of the British Empire' for his services to drama — but Idris Elba has now been crowned Sexiest Man Alive!
From his breakthrough role in America as drug kingpin Russell "Stringer" Bell on HBO's hit series The Wire to his commanding portrayal of Norse God and Asgardian gatekeeper Heimdall in Marvel's Thor franchise, the British heartthrob, 46, has become one of Hollywood's biggest — and sexiest — stars.
So what did Elba think when he first heard about his latest title? "I was like, 'Come on, no way. Really?'" the actor tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story. "Looked in the mirror, I checked myself out. I was like, 'Yeah, you are kind of sexy today.' But to be honest, it was just a nice feeling. It was a nice surprise — an ego boost for sure."
Elba is PEOPLE's 33rd Sexiest Man Alive, joining a long list of Hollywood's hottest, starting with a then-29-year-old Mel Gibson in 1985 to last year's pick Blake Shelton.
Though he was an athlete at his all-boys school in London, playing first-string football, basketball, cricket, hockey and rugby, the actor insists he went through an awkward phase first. "I was very tall and skinny," says the 6'3″ Elba. "And my name was Idrissa Akuna Elba, okay? I got picked on a little bit. But as soon as I could grow a mustache, I was the coolest kid on the block. Grew a mustache, had some muscles, bonkers."
When he's not being one of Hollywood's brightest stars, Elba might be deejaying in Ibiza, kickboxing in Thailand, or designing his own clothing line, not to mention planning his wedding to his fiancée Sabrina Dhowre, 29, a model, to whom he proposed in February. But picking the happiest moment of his life is easy.
"Being witness to the birth of my children is the biggest and best thing ever," says Elba, who has a 16-year-old daughter, Isan, and a 4-year-old son, Winston (both from previous relationships). "I'm super doting, big hugs, kisses, lots of love-yous. I'm sure my daughter's like, 'All right Dad, chill out.' My son is still at that age where he loves a cuddle." ***
"Idris joins acting icon, Denzel Washington, as one of only two (2) African American men to ever grace the cover of People Magazine, with this distinction. Denzel was named People Magazine's – Sexiest Man Alive, back in July of 1996! Some twenty years later in 2016, People Magazine honored another actor of color, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, with this title. Stay-woke America… Good-looks, beauty, style, class, and talent, comes in ALL shades. As a black man, we will take this recognition for Dris graciously!!! In my culture, when one 'wins', we all win!"
6 Coats That Will Stand The Test of Time
Posted on October 29, 2018 by alanmichaelsdesign1
Written by Jacob Sigala
Any halfway decent coat should keep you from turning into a human icicle — but staying warm, dry, and stylish simultaneously takes a bit more thought. Fads, by definition, come and go. Instead of focusing on the trends of the day, we've focused our attention on six coat styles that have stood the test of time. Use the information here to educate yourself on the history and anatomy of these classic coats. Once you're familiar with the basics, you'll have the tools you need to invest in a coat so timeless that your children will be fighting over it after you're long gone.
The Pea Coat
The pea coat is a thigh length double-breasted coat popularized by the navy, designed to shield seamen against the biting chill of the open sea. To this day, its nautical origins have stuck and many modern pea coats have anchors engraved on the buttons. A pea coat features a double-breasted button closure with a wide notched collar and lapel. Traditionally these coats are made of heavy, scratchy melton wool in either navy or black. As the years have gone by the wool used in making pea coats has softened and the colors available have broadened.
If you're just beginning your coat collection, a black pea coat is a perfect place to start; it's timeless, versatile, and warm.
The pea coat allows the wearer to transition from formal to casual with ease. Shrug it on over a T-shirt and jeans and it instantly adds a component of laid-back sophistication. Wear it with a button-up shirt and a pair of slacks and it fits in seamlessly. If you're just beginning your coat collection, a black pea coat is a perfect place to start; it's timeless, versatile, and warm.
Trench coats trace their roots back to World War I, where they were named after the very trenches they were worn in. Thomas Burberry designed trench coats for the British military and later implemented his own special water-repellent fabric known as gabardine. This new fabric was sturdy, lightweight, weatherproof, and could easily be worn over everyday wear. Because of gabardine's numerous positive attributes, the trench coat transitioned easily from military attire and into mainstream fashion.
Trench coats pair well with both casual and formal attire and make a great all-weather all-occasion coat.
The trench coat is traditionally a long coat that extends to the shins, is double-breasted with wide lapels, and is belted at the waist. A key characteristic of the trench is the numerous details in its construction. A wide vent extends across the back of the coat to allow for more movement and the shoulders are often graced with decorative epaulets. Belting on the cuffs is also common as well as a turndown collar, usually worn flipped upwards. Although a double-breasted closure is traditional, single-breasted versions are also available.
Trench coats pair well with both casual and formal attire and make a great all-weather all-occasion coat. Whether you're an aspiring heartthrob, à la Humphrey Bogart, or a mysterious sophisticate, à la Inspector Clouseau, the trench coat is an iconic and a solid coat choice. A word of warning: wearing a trench coat when the weather doesn't warrant it may have you looking like you've got something to hide. Anyone wanna to buy a watch?
The Overcoat
Due to the fact that an overcoat is intended to be worn over a standard suit, it tends to feature a wider cut. Generally, an overcoat is constructed of high-quality wool fabrics that are designed to withstand harsh weather. Its original construction includes a single-breasted closure, notched collar, flap pockets, and a welt pocket at the chest. When an overcoat is lighter in weight and intended for less extreme weather conditions, it is often called a topcoat. When it is heavier in weight it is sometimes called a greatcoat.
When an overcoat is lighter in weight and intended for less extreme weather conditions, it is often called a topcoat.
The overcoat has a minimal and features little in the way of ornamentation. This simplicity is the reason that it pairs well with most suits. Because this coat is intended for more formal affairs, a dark or neutral color may prove to be a more versatile investment. Though subtle in its styling, this classic coat has graced the shoulders of some of history's most intriguing characters. Al Capone, for one, was known to don this number over his classic pinstripe suits during his devious dealings in Chicago.
The Car Coat
The car coat was initially designed to keep drivers warm from the wind while driving old fashioned open cars. Its slight A-line cut and wide cuffs were intended to allow a full range of motion while driving. The car coat is customarily made of heavy wool and features a flat front placket over its closure to shield from wind and rain. A typical car coat is thigh-length with a straight collar and two welt pockets. The type of closure varies between a zipper and buttons, though buttons are most common.
The car coat is a utilitarian coat that isn't heavy on the details but gives stylish minimalism to any outfit.
The car coat is a utilitarian coat that isn't heavy on the details but gives stylish minimalism to any outfit. It can easily be dressed up or down and is a great basic for your everyday adventures.
The Duffle Coat
The duffle coat adopted its name from the rough and tough wool fabric it was originally made of: duffel. Like many coats, the duffle coat owes its popularity in modern day fashion to its military origins. Duffle coats were a garment of the British Royal Navy during World War I and II and its iconic toggle closure was designed to be able to be fastened and unfastened while wearing gloves out at sea. This coat usually has three to four toggles known as "walrus teeth" that are fastened with leather or rope loops. Its oversized hood was originally designed to allow room for a naval cap to remain on underneath. This coat also features a buttonable strap at the neck and two patch pockets. Besides the toggles, a defining characteristic of the duffle coat is its fuzzy tartan lining. Modern versions of this coat usually end at about hip-length, although more original versions extend to the knee.
This coat is usually worn casually because its bright characteristics would drastically dress down a formal outfit.

The Parka
When it comes to weathering the elements, the parka is king. It was initially conceived by the Caribou Inuit to cope with extreme Arctic climates during hunting expeditions. Back then, parkas were constructed of caribou or seal skin. The parkas of today are made from lightweight synthetic materials and lined with down. These updated materials have added bulk to the original design and contribute to the modern parka's puffy look. It is not uncommon to hear a parka referred to as a "puffer" coat. A parka ranges in length from waist-length to knee-length and generally features a large and fur-lined hood and a zipper closure.
When it comes to weathering the elements, the parka is king.
Though some use the words "parka" and "anorak" interchangeably, this is inaccurate. An anorak is technically a pull-over jacket as opposed to the parka's open-front coat structure.
The parka creates a sporty look best suited for casual attire and makes for a fantastic outer shell to your other cold-weather layers. You won't want to find yourself caught in a blustery snowstorm without one.
After the purchase of a tailored suit and a great pair of dress shoes, a classic coat should be the next item to check off your list. Staying warm and stylish is effortless when you select one of the iconic coats mentioned above. Which style will you be adding to your closet next?

"NOW THAT'S BILL BLASS STYLE!"
Posted on February 8, 2017 by alanmichaelsdesign1
"Style is primarily a matter of instinct!" Bill Blass
Bill Blass was a heralded American fashion designer of both men's and women's wear, who graduated from the Parsons School of Design in New York. He was a 7-time Coty Award winning designer, who was also honored by FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology), with it's Lifetime Achievement Award.
I have always loved his quote regarding 'style', but is that to say, either you have style instinctively/intuitively, or you don't? I don't think so, as I do believe that developing great style is something that can be taught, encouraged, and/or self-enhanced! I truly believe that either through classroom training, great mentors, self-education, learning from history, and practice, the 'intuitiveness' that accompanies great style, can be attained by those eager and open to learn. I am ALWAYS learning!
It is important to note above all, that style is relative, as it's definition is not the same from one individual to the next, and that too should always be respected! Know the greats, learn from their iconic ways and design aesthetic, spend some time in a museum, read, take in a Broadway or Off-Broadway show, travel to experience different cultures, read some more, and develop and nurture your own stylistic genius and instinct!

KENNETH COLE SHUTTING ALL OF IT'S OUTLET STORES
Kenneth Cole Is Shutting Down All Of It's Outlet Stores
by Madeline Farber – November 13, 2016, 2:30 PM EST
If you love Kenneth Cole outlet stores, you better shop fast: The fashion retailer is shutting all of them down within the next six months.
Closing its 63 outlet stores comes as the company is "focusing its efforts on its e-commerce site and international business," Kenneth Cole CEO Marc Schneider first told Bloomberg. Once closed, the retailer will only have two-full priced stores left in the U.S.—one in New York's Bowery neighborhood and the other in Arlington, Va.
"As we continue on our path of strengthening our global lifestyle brand, we look to expand our online and full-price retail footprint across the globe," he said. "We need to focus our energies and resources to better serve the consumer on their terms."
Although the company will continue to sell its merchandise online and through other retailers, Kenneth Cole is looking to licensing deals to generate revenue from its name, Bloomberg reports.
As more spending moves online, other fashion retailers—like Michael Kors, Coach, Ralph Lauren, and Fossil—have also closed down many of their storefronts in recent years.
Kenneth Cole opened its first store in 1984 on New York's Upper West Side, just two years after the brand was created, according to Bloomberg.
My Journey to Style!
Posted on May 19, 2016 by alanmichaelsdesign1
I was born and raised in North Carolina, to parents with not a lot of money, but great style, resourcefulness, and an understanding of the power of exposure for their children! My hometown was a consummate 'college-town', invaded each school-year, by students from all over the country, infusing their way of dress, musical taste, and their various hometown culture ans ways into the microcosm of our extraordinarily diverse world that was campus life at North Carolina A&T State University. What an incredible breeding ground to further develop my own personal style, which may not have developed as expeditiously, without the influence of my classmates.
But it was my early experiences with my parents, their constant encouragement to explore, our unlimited exposure with what means we had, and my personal desire to 'stand-out' and be seen and heard, that made my move to New York City, a non-thought, easy, some 10 years after finishing my graduate degree.
My first day in my new career in New York required that I take the subway to work, just four train-stops away in Mid-town, and it was during that 20 minute ride, that I heard some eight different conversations occurring between my fellow commuters, and they were speaking eight different languages. It was then that I realized, "Toto, we're NOT in Kansas anymore, and that my excitement of this new adventure, was going to take me places physically, mentally, culturally, and even stylishly, that I had never been before."
I came to New York with what I knew was great sense of style, but it was SURELY 20 years living in the City, the world's, cultural and fashion epicenter, that molded and shaped the current day Michael Alan Humphrey Sr., as well as Alan Michaels Design. But you can't build ANYTHING without a foundation, so I am forever grateful to my family, hometown family in Greensboro, North Carolina (Greatest place to grow up in the world), my beloved NCA&T State University, Wake Forest University Babcock Graduate School of Management, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc.'s Alpha Nu Chapter, and United Institutional Baptist Church and Mount Zion Baptist Church, for being my foundation!
Thank you God for blessing me, and hold on world, "I'm just getting started!"


"She was very hardworking, efficient and flexible. I believe she is fantastic! I would describe her as a very kind person, very intelligent young woman who always was playing with my little one. She is an organise young lady who used to keep my house clean at all the times. She is fantastic!"

Louis Vuitton will celebrate "Volez, Voguez, Voyagez – Louis Vuitton" at the Grand Palais from 4th December 2015 till 21st February 2016. Curated by Olivier Saillard, this exhibition retraces Louis Vuitton's great journey from 1854 till today, through depictions of the Maison's founding members and those who create the Louis Vuitton of tomorrow.
The Grand Palais was constructed in 1900 during one of the most spectacular Universal Exhibitions in Paris which welcomed 48 milllion visitors. At this turning point of the century, George Vuitton was in charge of organizing the entire section dedicated to "Travel & Leather goods". The Louis Vuitton booth, surprisingly in the shape of a merry-go-round, presented the Maison's most innovative luggage and elegant bags and was the center of attention».
"Louis Vuitton has always been at the avant-garde of creation. More than a century after, if Louis Vuitton remains at the helm of fashion, it's because we continuously inspire ourselves from the past while anticipating trends of our times. For this exhibition, Olivier Saillard has immersed himself in the archives of our Maison to decode its secrets. He delivers a fresh vision of our past, present and future", says Michael Burke, CEO of Louis Vuitton.
The thematic journey conceived and designed by Robert Carsen navigates through 9 chapters, opening with the absolute symbol of Louis Vuitton: an antique malle. An innately modern design, it foresaw what were to become the Maison's emblematic codes and epitomised Louis Vuitton's audacious spirit. The exhibition presents objects and documents from Louis Vuitton's Patrimony as well as a selection of pieces lent by Palais Galliera, Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
Louis Vuitton opened a Pop-Up shop dedicated to the Men's Collection – for the first time ever – on the 1st floor of the Isetan Shinjuku Men's Store from August 26th to September 15th. The store showcased a wide variety of practical products including the brand's ready-to-wear items, leather goods, textiles and accessories. The Monogram canvas printed with Nemeth's rope design is a worldwide exclusive, no other store carries it anywhere else.
Louis Vuitton Men's Artistic Director Kim Jones was for many years influenced by Christopher Nemeth, who was a pioneer of the free-thinking style of deconstruction. Jones' tribute through the 2015 – 16 fall/ Winter Collection comes 5 years after the artist's passing. Christopher Nemeth moved from London to Japan in the late 1980s and there are many fans in Japan. Japan is a special place in his heart.
The Pop-Up shop, which boast an exterior of acrylic and aluminum, is designed in the image of Louis Vuitton's iconic trunks. The interior of the store, which features floors that look like exposed concrete and white walls, is a sophisticated space that incorporates Nemeth's simple and symbolic rope designs everywhere, as well as movie created by legendary photographer and friend of Nemeth's, Mark Lebon. Designed under the direction of Kim Jones himself, the store invites visitors to fully experience the collection.

interpreted in a new, modern and refined ambient. Dark brown marble covers the floors underfoot while the beamed ceilings, featuring a peculiar lighting system, create an elegant graphic effect.
For nearly two centuries, Marchesi has excelled in the creation of fine pastries, inventive cakes, fluffy croissants and creatively-stamped chocolates. A full offering of these time-honored traditions – including several new products – have now been brought to life inside the new shop. 38 light-filled niches with clear crystal shelves, and cherry wood counters allow Marchesi's famous sweets to wrap around visitors like an opulent pastel coloured candy box. A decadent variety of sugar coated candies, bon-bons, chocolates, pralines and cakes, are presented in a new designed packaging, featuring a luxurious collection of products specially developed for the new café. All pastries are freshly baked daily on the premises, just like the original shop, to allow for the same high quality for which Marchesi is known.

Forensic Accounting Expert Witness Testimony Allowed
Plaintiff sued defendant related to a dispute over the ownership of certain property. The United States hired a Forensic Accounting Expert Witness to provide testimony. The defendant filed a motion to exclude this expert from testifying. The court denied the motion.
Facts: This case (USA v. Talmage et al – United States District Court – District of Utah – April 24th, 2019) involves a dispute between two entities and the United States. The action involves a dispute regarding the ownership of certain property, on which the United States seeks to foreclose to satisfy the tax obligations of the defendants. In anticipation of trial, the United States has hired Gary D. Olsen (Forensic Accounting Expert Witness) to provide testimony. The defendants have filed a motion to exclude this expert from testifying.
Discussion: The defendants challenge Olsen's qualifications as an expert related to his third opinion, which was that it cannot be concluded that certain payments were part of an overall Ponzi scheme allegedly started by the defendants. The defendants argue that Olsen is not qualified to give this opinion because he is not a certified fraud examiner and has never performed a Ponzi examination.
The court opines that because tracking funds is within the reasonable confines of Olsen's experience as a forensic accountant and CPA, he is qualified to offer an opinion regarding whether the payments at issue were involved in a Ponzi scheme. Thus, the court opines, his expert testimony will not be excluded on the qualification issue.
The defendants also argue that Olsen's first two opinions, related to the calculation of various payments, should be excluded because he excluded certain data and he interpreted specific evidence differently than the defendants. The court notes that the defendants do not challenge the reliability of the principles and methodology of Olsen's testimony. In addition, they do not challenge the reliability of Olsen's application of these principles and methods to the facts. The court notes that they challenge his interpretation of certain facts. These types of challenges go to the weight of the evidence, not the admissibility. The basis of the defendants arguments can be brought up on cross-examination.
The court also opines that Olsen's opinion will help the trier of tact understand the complicated transactions at issue in this case. Thus, Olsen's opinion will not be excluded on this basis.
Conclusion: The motion to exclude the expert witness opinion of Gary D. Olsen is denied.


This is a Halloween message, but one that rings true all year. If you eat only "dead" food, you'll feel like the living dead! You'll lack vitality, youthfulness and life energy because your food is lacking in real nutrition. So, don't play tricks on your body, give it "live" food with treats full of nutrients.
Dead food is fried, over-cooked or overly processed food that is devoid of vital nutrients. Examples include over cooked meat and vegetables, pre-packaged foods, and/or anything in the junk food aisles at the grocery store.
Why Are Some Foods Considered Dead?
Sun, pollution, stress, and the effects of time can damage skin cells. Weakened skin results in wrinkles, loss of firmness and elasticity, pigmentation, dryness, and a tired looking appearance.
First, one of the most essential things you can do to combat wrinkles is to hydrate properly. This means more than just sipping water. It means absorbing the water deeply into the cells for real hydration and age defying effects from the inside-out. Fortune Delight is one of the healthiest, most affordable drinks on the planet that provides the kind of deep hydration necessary for real anti-aging.

Q: Docker swarm: guarantee high availability after restart I have an issue using Docker swarm.
I have 3 replicas of a Python web service running on Gunicorn.
The issue is that when I restart the swarm service after a software update, an old running service is killed, then a new one is created and started. But in the short period of time when the old service is already killed, and the new one didn't fully start yet, network messages are already routed to the new instance that isn't ready yet, resulting in 502 bad gateway errors (I proxy to the service from nginx).
I use --update-parallelism 1 --update-delay 10s options, but this doesn't eliminate the issue, only slightly reduces chances of getting the 502 error (because there are always at least 2 services running, even if one of them might be still starting up).

A: So, following what I've proposed in comments:
Use the HEALTHCHECK feature of Dockerfile: Docs. Something like:
HEALTHCHECK --interval=5m --timeout=3s \
  CMD curl -f http://localhost/ || exit 1

Knowing that Docker Swarm does honor this healthcheck during service updates, it's relative easy to have a zero downtime deployment.
But as you mentioned, you have a high-resource consumer health-check, and you need larger healthcheck-intervals.
In that case, I recomend you to customize your healthcheck doing the first run immediately and the successive checks at current_minute % 5 == 0, but the healthcheck itself running /30s:
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s \
  CMD /service_healthcheck.sh

healthcheck.sh
#!/bin/bash

CURRENT_MINUTE=$(date +%M)
INTERVAL_MINUTE=5

[ $((a%2)) -eq 0 ]
do_healthcheck() {
  curl -f http://localhost/ || exit 1
}

if [ ! -f /tmp/healthcheck.first.run ]; then
  do_healhcheck
  touch /tmp/healthcheck.first.run
  exit 0
fi

# Run only each minute that is multiple of $INTERVAL_MINUTE
[ $(($CURRENT_MINUTE%$INTERVAL_MINUTE)) -eq 0 ] && do_healhcheck
exit 0

Remember to COPY the healthcheck.sh to /healthcheck.sh (and chmod +x)

A: There are some known issues (e.g. moby/moby #30321) with rolling upgrades in docker swarm with the current 17.05 and earlier releases (and doesn't look like all the fixes will make 17.06). These issues will result in connection errors during a rolling upgrade like you're seeing.
If you have a true zero downtime deployment requirement and can't solve this with a client side retry, then I'd recommend putting in some kind of blue/green switch in front of your swarm and do the rolling upgrade to the non-active set of containers until docker finds solutions to all of the scenarios.

Google wants to launch "revived" version of Wallet at Google I/O – WSJ
Bogdan Petrovan / @bogdan247
Google had a big start in mobile payments, but it's now scrambling to offer a coherent answer to Apple Pay, a service that's just months old, but is already dominating contactless payments. And that's a problem for Google, not because payments are a big money-maker, but because a successful Apple Pay could sway many Android users to the other side. However, Google isn't giving up just yet.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Google plans a "revived" version of its Wallet payment service, that it hopes to officially launch at Google I/O in late May. For this Wallet 2.0, so to speak, Google is trying to bring together an "unruly coalition of device makers, wireless carriers, banks and payment networks," says the report, which cites people familiar with the matter. In order to coax partners into the new scheme, Google is willing to give them a larger share of the revenues, a sign that Larry Page's company is determined to make it work this time.
Google seems determined to make it work this time.
Apple is not paying carriers anything for Apple Pay; it doesn't have to, because it tightly controls what goes on its devices, as opposed to Google, which has little say in this area. So Google is willing to cut a deal with carriers and give them a fee for each transaction. Google is also in talks with banks and payment operators including MasterCard and Visa – having these two giants on board would give Wallet massive reach throughout the US and the world.
Google is also talking with device makers, of course, but the biggest Android OEM may not find it in its interest to support the new Wallet. Samsung just bought LoopPay, whose mobile payment system works with the omnipresent magnetic card readers without requiring NFC. LoopPay is expected to be one of the key features of the Galaxy S6, due next week. But even if it bets on LoopPay, Samsung may find it worthwhile to support Google's extended Wallet, out of caution or to maximize compatibility.
Google's chief business officer Omid Kurdestani hinted last month that Google would release a "fully functional payment system" that goes "beyond just tap and pay" this year. It's possible that the executive hinted at the revamped Wallet, but he may have also referred to Plaso, the Bluetooth-based mobile payment system that The Information first reported on last week. Google has also been rumored to have shown interest in buying Softcard, the payment service developed by AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. Ironically, Softcard (formerly Isis) was the reason US carriers did everything they could to stop the adoption of Wallet.
It looks like Google is finally serious about payments, and we may have Apple to thank for that. It remains to be seen whether Google will be able to iron out all the issues for a Google I/O launch.

\section{Introduction}
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite simple graph. The {\it distance} between two vertices $u$ and $v$, denoted by $d(u, v)$, is the length of a shortest path between $u$ and $v$ in $G$. The diameter of $G$ is the maximum distance between the vertices of $G$ and is denoted by $diam(G)$. Suppose that $G$ and $H$ are two simple graphs. The {\it tensor product} of $G$ and $H$ is denoted by $G \otimes H$ and is a graph with $V(G \otimes H)=\{(u,v): u\in V(G), v\in V(H)\}$ and two vertices $(u,v)$ and $(x,y)$ are adjacent if and only if $ux \in E(G)$ and $vy \in E(H)$. For $t\geq 3$, the tensor product of $G_1, \ldots, G_t$ is defined by induction.
\\
A {\it complete graph} of order $n$ is denoted by $K_n$ and is called a {\it clique}. Also, $K_{m,n}$ denotes the {\it complete bipartite graph}, whose two parts are of size $m$ and $n$. A subset $M \subseteq E(G)$ is called a {\it matching}, if no two edges in $M$ have a common end vertex. A matching $M$ is called a {\it perfect matching} if every vertex of $G$ is incident with some edge in $M$. Throughout the paper, we suppose that $V(K_m)=\{u_1, \ldots, u_m\}$ and $V(K_n)=\{v_1, \ldots, v_n\}$.
\\
Let $A_1, \ldots, A_k$ be nonempty sets and $T\subseteq A_1 \times \cdots \times A_k$, in which the product is {\it Cartesian product}. By $T(i) \subseteq A_i$ we mean all elements of $A_i$ which are appeared as the $i$-th coordinate of some element of $T$.
\\
For an ordered set $W = \{w_1, w_2, \ldots, w_k\}$ of vertices and a vertex $v$ in a connected
graph $G$, the ordered $k$-vector $r(v \, | \, W) := (d(v, w_1), d(v, w_2), \ldots, d(v, w_k))$ is called
the {\it metric representation} of $v$ with respect to $W$. The set $W$ is called a {\it resolving set} of $G$, if distinct
vertices of $G$ have distinct representations with respect to $W$. The minimum cardinality of a resolving set for $G$ is its {\it metric dimension} and is denoted by $dim(G)$. The metric dimension in general graphs was firstly studied by Harary and
Melter \cite{harary}, and independently by Slater \cite{slater}. In graph theory, metric dimension is a parameter that has appeared in various applications, as diverse as network discovery and verification \cite{app1}, strategies for the Mastermind game \cite{app2}, combinatorial optimization \cite{app3} and so on.
\\
Finding the parameters of products of graphs is one of the well-known problems in graph theory. The metric dimension of the Cartesian product of graphs is studied in \cite{caceres}. Also, Jannesari and Omoomi studied the metric dimension of the Lexicographic product of graphs, see \cite{omoomi1}. In this article, we study the metric dimension of the tensor product of cliques. Also, we determine the metric dimension of the tensor product of two cliques. Our main result is as follows.

\begin{thm}\label{main}
Let $G=K_m \otimes K_n$ and $n \geq m$. Then
\begin{enumerate}
\item If $m=n=2$, then $G$ is disconnected.
\item If $n \leq 2m-2$ and $m \geq 3$. Then $dim(G) = \lceil \frac{2}{3}(m+n-2) \rceil$.
\item If $n\geq 2m-1$ and $m\geq 2$. Then $dim(G)= n-1$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{thm}

In section 2, we prove some bounds for the metric dimension of tensor product of cliques and section 3 is dedicated to the proof of Theorem \ref{main}.

\section{Some Bounds }
In this section, we present some bounds for the metric dimension of $K_{m_1} \otimes \cdots \otimes K_{m_t}$. First, we present two following lemmas. The proof of the first lemma is easy and we omit it.

\begin{lem}\label{lem1}
Let $G=K_{m_1} \otimes \cdots \otimes K_{m_t}$ and $m_i \leq m_{i+1}$. Then the followings hold:
\begin{enumerate}
\item If $m_1=m_2=2$, then $G$ is disconnected.
\item If $m_1=2$ and $m_2 \geq 3$, then $diam(G)=3$.
\item If $m_1\geq 3$, then $diam(G)=2$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{lem}

\begin{lem} \label{lem}
Let $G=K_{m _1} \otimes \cdots \otimes K_{m_t}$ with $m_i \geq 3$ and $W$ be a resolving set of $G$. Then $|V(K_{m_i}) \setminus W(i)| \leq 1$.
\end{lem}

\begin{proof}
By Lemma \ref{lem1}, we conclude that $diam(G)=2$. Note that if $u=(u_1, \ldots, u_t)$ and $v=(v_1, \ldots, v_t)$, then $d(u,v)=2$ if and only if $u_i=v_i$, for some $1 \leq i \leq t$.
\\
On the contrary, suppose that there exist $1 \leq i \leq t$ and two distinct vertices $x, y \in K_{m_i}$, such that $x, y \notin W(i)$. With no loss of generality, we may assume that $i=1$.
Let $u_i \in V(K_{m_i})$, for $i=2, \ldots, t $. It is not hard to see that $r((x, u_2, \ldots, u_t) \, | \, W)=r((y, u_2, \ldots, u_t) \, | \, W)$, which is a contradiction. Hence $|V(K_{m_i}) \setminus W(i)| \leq 1$.
\end{proof}

Now, the following corollary is clear.

\begin{cor}\label{cor}
Let $G=K_{m_1} \otimes \cdots \otimes K_{m_t}$, where $m_i \geq 3$. Then $dim(G) \geq max\, \{m_i-1: i=1, \ldots, t \}$.
\end{cor}

In the following propositions, we present upper and lower bounds for $dim(K_{m_1} \otimes \cdots \otimes K_{m_t})$.

\begin{pro}
Let $G=K_{m_1} \otimes \cdots \otimes K_{m_t}$, where $m_i \geq 3$. Then
\begin{center}
$dim(G) \geq max \, \{dim(K_{i_{1}} \otimes \cdots \otimes K_{i_{t-1}})\}, $
\end{center}
where $\{i_1, \ldots, i_{t-1}\} \subseteq \{m_1, \ldots, m_t\}$.
\end{pro}

\begin{proof}
Let $W$ be a resolving set of $G$. Define $W(\overline{1})$ as follows.
\vspace{0.5em}
\begin{center}
$W(\overline{1})=\{ (z_2, \ldots, z_t): \;\;\; (z_1, z_2, \ldots, z_t) \in W,\;\; for \; some \; z_1 \in V(K_{m_1}) \}$.
\end{center}
\vspace{0.5em}
If $|W(\overline{1})|<dim(K_{m_{2}} \otimes \cdots \otimes K_{m_{t}})$, then there exist $x,y \in V(K_{m_2} \otimes \cdots \otimes K_{m_t})$ such that $r(x \, | \, W(\overline{1}))=r(y \, | \, W(\overline{1}))$. Suppose that $x=(x_2, \ldots, x_t)$ and $y=(y_2, \ldots, y_t)$. It is clear that $r((v,x_2, \ldots, x_t) \, | \, W)=r((v,y_2, \ldots, y_t) \, | \, W)$, for every $v \in V(K_{m_1})$. This is a contradiction and implies that $|W(\overline{1})| \geq dim(K_{m_{2}} \otimes \cdots \otimes K_{m_{t}})$. One can prove a similar relation for $|W(\overline{i})|$, for $i=1, 2, \ldots, t$. Clearly, $|W(\overline{i})| \leq |W|$ and this completes the proof.
\end{proof}

Note that Proposition \ref{case2} will show that the previous bound is sharp. Now, we present an upper bound for the metric dimension of the tensor product of cliques.

\begin{pro}
Let $G=K_{m_1} \otimes \cdots \otimes K_{m_t}$, where $m_i \geq 3$. Then
\begin{center}
$dim(G) \leq 3\;min \, \{dim(K_{i_{1}} \otimes \cdots \otimes K_{i_{t-1}})+ dim(K_{j_{1}} \otimes \cdots \otimes K_{j_{t-1}}) \},$
\end{center}
where $\{i_1, \ldots, i_{t-1}\}$ and $\{j_1, \ldots, j_{t-1}\}$ are two distinct subsets of $\{m_1, \ldots, m_t\}$.
\end{pro}

\begin{proof}
Let $a_1, a_2, a_3 \in V(K_{m_1})$ and $b_1, b_2, b_3 \in V(K_{m_t})$. Also, suppose that $W_1$ and $W_t$ are resolving sets for $K_{m_2} \otimes \cdots \otimes K_{m_t}$ and $K_{m_1} \otimes \cdots \otimes K_{m_{t-1}}$, respectively. Define $W'_1$ and $W'_t$ as follows.
\vspace{0.5em}
\begin{center}
$W'_1=\{ (a_i, u_2, \ldots, u_t): \; i=1, 2, 3 \;\;\; (u_2, \ldots, u_t) \in W_1 \}$
\\
$W'_t=\{ (u_1, \ldots, u_{t-1}, b_i): \; i=1, 2, 3 \;\;\; (u_1, \ldots, u_{t-1}) \in W_t \}$.
\end{center}
\vspace{0.5em}
Now, we show that $W=W'_1 \cup W'_t$ is a resolving set for $G$. Let $x=(x_1, \ldots, x_t)$ and $y=(v_1, \ldots, y_t)$ be two distinct vertices of $G$. Thus $x_i \neq y_i$, for some $1 \leq i \leq t$. With no loss of generality, we assume that $i=1$ and $b_3 \neq x_t, y_t$. Let $X=\{ (u_1, \ldots, u_{t-1}, b_3): (u_1, \ldots, u_{t-1}) \in W_t \}$, then $r(x\,|\,X) \neq r(y\,|\,X)$ and therefore $r(x\,|\,W) \neq r(y\,|\,W)$. Note that if $i \neq 1$, then the similar method, by using $W'_{1}$, implies that $r(x\,|\,W) \neq r(y\,|\,W)$. This implies that $W$ is a resolving set of $G$ and completes the proof.
\end{proof}

\section{Proof of Theorem \ref{main}}

This section is dedicated to the proof of Theorem \ref{main}. We divide the proof into three parts, i.e. Propositions \ref{case1}, \ref{case2} and \ref{case3}. In \cite{bipartite} the following theorem was proved.

\begin{thm}\label{bi}
Let $G=K_{n,n} \setminus I$, in which $I$ is a perfect matching and $n \geq 3$. Then $dim(G)=n-1$.
\end{thm}

Now, we prove the following proposition.

\begin{pro}\label{case1}
Let $G=K_2 \otimes K_n$. Then
\begin{enumerate}
\item If $n=2$, then $G$ is disconnected.
\item If $n \geq 3$, then $dim(G)= n-1$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{pro}

\begin{proof}
It is clear that $K_2 \otimes K_n$ is isomorphic to $K_{n,n} \setminus I$, where $I$ is a perfect matching. Now, Theorem \ref{bi} completes the proof.
\end{proof}

So, we may assume that $m,n \geq 3$. First, we prove the following theorem.

\begin{pro}\label{case2}
Let $G=K_m \otimes K_n$ such that $n\geq 2m-1$ and $m\geq 3$. Then $dim(G)= n-1$.
\end{pro}

\begin{proof}
Note that Corollary \ref{cor} implies $dim(G) \geq n-1$. We construct a resolving set of size $n-1$ and this completes the proof. Define $W\subseteq V(G)$ as follows:
\vspace{0.5em}
\begin{center}
$W=\{(u_1, v_1), \ldots, (u_{m-1}, v_{m-1}), (u_1, v_m), \ldots, (u_{m-1}, v_{2m-2})\} \cup \{(u_1,v_j): 2m-1 \leq j \leq n-1\}$
\end{center}
\vspace{0.5em}
Clearly, $|W|=n-1$. Now, we show that $W$ is a resolving set of $G$. Let $(u,v)$ and $(x,y)$ be two distinct vertices of $G$. Without loss of generality, we may assume that $(u, v)$ and $(x, y)$ are not in $W$. Now, we consider two cases.
\vspace{1.5em}
\\
\textbf{Case 1.} $u=x$ or $v=y$.
\\
Suppose that $u=x$. Thus $v\neq y$ and hence $v$ or $y$ is not equal to $v_n$. Suppose that $y\neq v_n$. Therefore, there exists an element $u_k\in V(K_m)$, such that $(u_k, y)\in W$. Since $(u, y)\notin W$, we conclude that $u_k \neq u$.
Then the coordinates corresponding to $(u_k, y)$ in $r((u,v)\,|\,W)$ and $r((u,y)\,|\,W)$ have different values.
\vspace{1.5em}
\\
\textbf{Case 2.} $u \neq x$ and $v \neq y$. We consider two subcases:
\vspace{0.8em}
\\
\textbf{Subcase 2.1.} $u_m \in \{u, x\}$ or $v_n \in \{v, y\}$.
\\
Let $u= u_m$. If $v=v_n$, then $r((u,v)|W)=(1, \ldots, 1)$ and
this implies that $r((u,v)\,|\,W) \neq r((x,y)\,|\,W)$. So, we may assume that $v \neq v_n$.
\\
Since $u \neq x$, we have $x \in W(1)$ and by the structure of $W$, there are at least two elements in $W$ such as $(x,v_k)$ and $(x,v_l)$. Now, at most one of the coordinates corresponding to $(x,v_k)$ and $(x,v_l)$ in $r((u,v)\,|\,W)$ is equal to two while both of them in $r((x,y)\,|\,W)$ are equal to two. This implies that $r((u,v)\,|\,W) \neq r((x,y)\,|\,W)$.
\vspace{0.8em}
\\
\textbf{Subcase 2.2.} $u_m \notin \{u, x\}$ and $v_n \notin \{v, y\}$.
\\
By the structure of $W$, there are $(x,v_k)$ and $(x,v_l)$ in $W$ such that $v_k, v_l \neq y$. Now, coordinates corresponding to $(x,v_k)$ and $(x,v_l)$ in $r((x,y)\,|\,W)$ are equal to two. Since $u\neq x$ we can conclude that at most one of these components is equal to two in $r((u,v)\,|\,W)$. This implies that $r((u,v)\,|\,W) \neq r((x,y)\,|\,W)$ and completes the proof.
\end{proof}

We have the following lemma.

\begin{lem}\label{2}
Let $G =K_m \otimes K_n$, where $m,n \geq 3$, $W \subseteq V(G)$ and $(u,v), (x,y) \in W$. Also suppose that for every $(u_1,v_1) \in W\setminus \{(u,v), (x,y)\}$ we have $u_1 \notin \{u,x\}$ and $v_1 \notin \{v,y\}$. Then $r((u,y)\,|\,W)=r((x,v)\,|\,W)$.
\end{lem}

\begin{proof}
It is easy to see that all coordinates of $r((u,y)\,|\,W)$ and $r((x,v)\,|\,W)$ are equal to one, except the coordinates corresponding to $(u,v)$ and $(x,y)$.
\end{proof}

Now, we determine the metric dimension of $G=K_m \otimes K_n$, where $m \leq n \leq 2m-2$. First, we present the lower bound for $dim(G)$ in the following lemma and in the next proposition we show that this bound is the exact value of $dim(G)$.

\begin{lem}\label{lower}
Let $G=K_m \otimes K_n$, where $m \leq n \leq 2m-2$ and $m \geq 3$. Then $dim(G) \geq \lceil \frac{2}{3} (m+n-2) \rceil$.
\end{lem}

\begin{proof}
Let $W$ be a minimal resolving set and $M \subseteq W$ be of maximum size, such that if $(u,v), (x,y) \in M$, then $u\neq x$ and $v\neq y$. Suppose that $|M|=k$. Without loss of generality, we may assume that $M=\{(u_{1}, v_{1}), \ldots, (u_{k}, v_{k}) \}$. We find a lower bound for $|W|$. By Lemma \ref{lem}, we have $|V(K_m) \setminus W(1)|, |V(K_n) \setminus W(2)| \leq 1$. Assume that $|V(K_m) \setminus W(1)|=s$ and $|V(K_n) \setminus W(2)|=t$, where $s,t \in \{0, 1\}$.
\\
Let $k<i<m-s$. Since $u_i\in W(1)$, there exists $1\leq j_i \leq n-t$ such that $(u_i, v_{j_i})\in W$. Maximality of $M$ implies $j_i \leq k $.
So, we can find $j_1, \ldots, j_{m-k-s} \leq k$ such that $A=\{(u_{k+1},v_{j_1}), \ldots, (u_{m-s},v_{j_{m-k-s}})\} \subseteq W$. Similarly, there exists $i_1, \ldots, i_{n-k-t} \leq k$ such that $B=\{(u_{i_1},v_{k+1}), \ldots, (u_{i_{n-k-t}},v_{n-t})\} \subseteq W$.
\\
If $(u,v),(x,y) \in M$ such that $u,x \notin A(1) \cup B(1)$ and $v,y \notin A(2) \cup B(2)$, then Lemma \ref{2} implies that $r((u,y)\,|\,M \cup A \cup B)=r((x,v)\,|\,M \cup A \cup B)$. Since $W$ is a resolving set, there exists $(a,b)\in W$ such that $d((u,y),(a,b)) \neq d((x,v),(a,b))$. Now, we consider two cases:
\vspace{0.8em}
\\
\textbf{Case 1.} $s=t=1$.
\\
Note that if $u_m \notin W(1)$ and $v_n \notin W(2)$, then $r((u,v_n)\,|\,M \cup A \cup B)=r((u_m, v)\,|\,M \cup A \cup B)$. This implies that:
\begin{center}
$|W| \geq k+(m-k-1)+(n-k-1)+max\,\{0,\lceil \frac{3k-m-n+2}{2} \rceil \}=f(k)$
\end{center}
Note that if $k \leq \lfloor \frac{m+n-2}{3} \rfloor$, then $f(k)= m+n-k-2$. This yields that $f(k)$ has its minimum value at $k = \lfloor \frac{m+n-2}{3} \rfloor$.
\\
If $k \geq \lceil \frac{m+n-2}{3} \rceil$, then it is not hard to see that $f(k+1) \geq f(k)$. This implies that $f(k)$ has its minimum value at $k = \lceil \frac{m+n-2}{3} \rceil$.
\\
Note that $f(k)=f(k')$, where $k = \lfloor \frac{m+n-2}{3} \rfloor$ and $k' = \lceil \frac{m+n-2}{3} \rceil$. So, we have:
\begin{center}
$|W| \geq k+(m-k-1)+(n-k-1)$,
\end{center}
where $k= \lfloor \frac{m+n-2}{3} \rfloor$. Hence, if $W$ is an arbitary minimal resolving set of $G$ and $s=t=1$, then $|W| \geq \lceil \frac{2}{3}(m+n-2) \rceil$.
\vspace{0.8em}
\\
\textbf{Case 2.} $s=0$ or $t=0$.
\\
Assume that $s=0$. We have:
\begin{center}
$ |W| \geq k+(m-k)+(n-k-t)+max\,\{0,\lfloor \frac{3k-m-n+t}{2} \rfloor \}=f(k) $
\end{center}
Then the similar method, to the previous case, shows that $f(k)$ has its minimum value in $k= \lfloor \frac{m+n-t}{3} \rfloor$ and therefore $|W| \geq \lceil \frac{2}{3}(m+n-t) \rceil$.
\vspace{0.8em}
\\
Hence if $W$ is an arbitrary minimal resolving set of $G$, then $|W| \geq \lceil \frac{2}{3}(m+n-2) \rceil$.
\end{proof}

Now, we prove the following proposition which completes the proof of Theorem \ref{main}.

\begin{pro}\label{case3}
Let $G=K_m \otimes K_n$ such that $m \leq n \leq 2m-2$ and $m \geq 3$. Then $dim(G) = \lceil \frac{2}{3}(m+n-2) \rceil$.
\end{pro}

\begin{proof}
By Lemma \ref{lower}, it sufficies to find a resolvable set of size $\lceil \frac{2}{3}(m+n-2) \rceil$.
Let $V$ be defined as follows and $k=\lfloor \frac{m+n-2}{3} \rfloor$.
\begin{center}
$V_1=\{\,(u_1,v_1), \ldots, (u_k, v_k)\}$\\
$V_2= \{(u_{k+i}, v_{i})\,\, | \,\, 1 \leq i \leq m-k-1\,\}$\\
$V_3= \{\,(u_{m-k-1+i}, v_{k+i})\,\, |\,\, 1\leq i \leq n-k-1\, \}$\\
$V= V_1 \cup V_2 \cup V_3$,
\end{center}
where we use mod $k$ arithmetic for indices of $v_i$ and $u_{m-k-1+i}$ in $V_2$ and $V_3$, respectively. We claim that $W$ is a resolving set of $G$. Note that $|V_2 \cup V_3| \geq |V_1|$ and this implies that if $(u,v) \in W$, then either there exists $(u,v') \in W$ or there exists $(u',v) \in W$, where $u' \neq u$ and $v' \neq v$.
\\
Let $(u,v)$ and $(x,y)$ be two distinct vertices of $G$. Without loss of generality, we assume that $(u, v)$ and $(x, y)$ are not in $W$. We consider two cases.
\vspace{1.5em}
\\
\textbf{Case 1.} $u=x$ or $v=y$.\\
Suppose that $u=x$. Therefore, $v \neq y$ and we may assume that $y \neq v_m$. Hence $y \in W(2)$.
So, there exists $(u_k,y) \in W$, where $u_k \neq u$. Then the coordinate corresponding to $(u_k, y)$ in $r((u,v)\,|\,W)$ is equal to one and in $r((u,y)\,|\,W)$ is two.
\vspace{1.5em}
\\
\textbf{Case 2.} $u \neq x$ and $v \neq y$. We consider two subcases in this case:
\vspace{0.8em}
\\
\textbf{Subcase 2.1.} $u_m \in \{u, x\}$ or $v_n \in \{v, y\}$.
\\
Suppose that $u= u_m$. Since $u \neq x$ we have $x \in W(1)$. If $v=v_n$, then $r((u,v)\,|\,W)=(1, \ldots, 1)$ and this implies that $r((u,v)\,|\,W) \neq r((x,y)\,|\,W)$. Also, if $y \in W(2)$, then there exists $(u_k,y) \in W$ such that $u_k \neq x$. Thus, the coordinate corresponding to $(u_k,y)$ in $r((u,v)\,|\,W)$ is one and in $r((x,y)\,|\,W)$ is two. So, we may assume that $y \notin W(2)$ and $v \in W(2)$.
\\
By contrary, if $r((u,v)\,|\,W)=r((x,y)\,|\,W)$, then both of them have exactly one coordinate equal to two in their representation and this coordinate is corresponding to $(x,v)$. Thus $(x,v) \in W$ and both of $x$ and $v$ are only appeared in $(x,v)$. By the structure of $W$, this is impossible and this completes the proof in this subcase.
\vspace{0.8em}
\\
\textbf{Subcase 2.2.} $u_m \notin \{u, x\}$ and $v_n \notin \{v, y\}$.
\\
By contrary, suppose that $r((u,v)\,|\,W)=r((x,y)\,|\,W)$. Since $u \in W(1)$ and $v \in W(2)$, there exist $(u,v_k),(u_l,v) \in W$ such that $v_k \neq v$ and $u_l \neq u$.\\
If there exists $(u,v_r) \in W$ such that $v_r \neq v_k$, then without loss of generality, we may assume that $v_r \neq y$. This implies that $r((u,v)\,|\,W) \neq r((x,y)\,|\,W)$, because the coordinates corresponding to $(u,v_r)$ in $r((u,v)\,|\,W)$ and $r((x,y)\,|\,W)$ have different values.\\
On the other hand, since $r((u,v)\,|\,W)=r((x,y)\,|\,W)$, so they have the same value at the coordinate corresponding to $(u,v_k)$. This implies that $v_k=y$ and therefore $(u,y) \in W$. Note that if there exists $(s,y) \in W$ such that $s \neq u$, then one can show that $r((u,v)\,|\,W) \neq r((x,y)\,|\,W)$, a contradiction. So, $(u,y) \in W$ with this property that $u$ and $y$ are only appeared in this element of $W$. By the structure of $W$, this is impossible and this completes the proof.
\end{proof}

Attendance Dues are a charge payable to the Proprietor of the School (The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch) and are a condition of enrolment at integrated schools. The Parish (St Francis of Assisi, Mairehau) collects the attendance dues on behalf of the Diocese for all children attending St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School. Dues are not a donation, and they are not tax deductible.
The income from attendance dues can only be used for costs associated with the provision of school land and buildings. Attendance Dues fund the borrowing required to provide new classrooms not funded by the Government. Attendance dues are also used to pay other building-related costs such as Projects, Insurance, Building Warrants of Fitness and debt/loan servicing.
The level that Attendance Dues are set is reviewed annually.
Bishop Paul Martin SM has authorised that Attendance Dues for Diocesan Primary Schools be increased from $230 per year to $280 per year for 2019. This increase is primarily due to the increase in Diocesan schools' insurance premiums, which have more than tripled since 2010. A copy of the Bishop's letter is available to view on the parish website at www.mairehauparish.org.nz/schools.
The Catholic Special Character Contribution (CSCC) helps cover the costs associated with the delivery of professional development services in support of the Catholic Special Character in Catholic Primary Schools. This is set at $10 per child per term and is exempt from GST and is tax deductible. There is no increase to the Catholic Special Character Contribution for the 2019 year.
It is our intention for the 2019 year to invoice the full year's Attendance Dues/Special Character Contribution at the beginning of the school year. This will allow you to see how much you are required to pay by the time the school year closes in 2019. Payments can be made weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or term by term. Payment of the full amount may be made in Term one. I know a number of you do this already.
We have asked the Catholic Education Office to provide a comparison of Attendance Dues rates around New Zealand to give you a better idea of where we stand compared to other Diocese' in New Zealand.
They have supplied the following information based on 2018 figures.
Should you wish to pay the full year in advance this needs to be paid during Term One.
Please phone the parish office on 385 3459 or email Kirsten Tester on secretary@mairehauparish.org.nz should you have any queries at all.
