First-class airline tickets often cost more than twice as much as standard coach fare. It is possible, however, to fly first class without paying the full price. Delta Air Lines offers several options that allow passengers to fly first class for not much more than coach airfare.
Pay for a same-day upgrade. If there is space available, you can pay a fee to upgrade to first class the day of your flight. The fee is based on the length of the flight, and longer flights will have higher fees. The most expensive fee is $250 each way, which is significantly less than what you would have paid had you purchased first-class tickets in the first place. Same-day upgrades are available only on flights within North America, or between North America and South/Central America where business class is offered.
Buy an upgrade with miles. If you have Sky Miles with Delta, you may use them to upgrade a coach ticket to first class. The number of miles needed varies, based on the length of the flight and the ticket purchased.
Use your status to get an upgrade. If you are a Medallion member with Delta, you qualify for unlimited complimentary upgrades. When you book your ticket, you will receive an automatic upgrade request. When you are ticketed or when you check in, you may be upgraded based on availability. Higher medallion statuses (Diamond or Platinum vs. Silver) will be upgraded before the lower statuses.
Ask for an upgrade. The worst that can happen is that you remain in coach. As airlines struggle financially, many are overbooking economy class. It is not uncommon for a flight to be oversold, which means the airline is seeking volunteers to give up their seats. This may be the case with your flight. If there are open seats in first class, it benefits the airline to fly with a full plane, rather than angering customers and leaving empty seats in first class.

GFCE and Meridian: Combining forces on CIIP
News item | 21-11-2017 | 10:00
Author: Peter Burnett, Meridian Coordinator
CIIP was a fashionable topic for governments when Meridian launched its international conference series in 2005, but CIIP has since been eclipsed by Cyber Security as the key subject on government agendas. Careful analysis, however, will show that CIIP is just as vital today, if not moreso, as critical services move online. It is therefore vital that Cyber Security Capacity Building does not neglect this crucial element in developing countries, particularly as it becomes increasingly difficult to implement CIIP successfully. GFCE and Meridian have combined forces to assist this challenging endeavour.
The historic setting of the 16th century Hostal de San Marcos in Léon was the birthplace for this initiative. It was conceived following the Meridian CIIP Conference, which was hosted by Spain in October 2015. The GFCE had played a major role in the event and the Meridian Steering Committee considered it a 'no-brainer' to invite the GFCE to collaborate with Meridian. A common cause was found on the issue of Critical Information Infrastructure Protection (CIIP), which Meridian has been promoting since its own birth in the equally historic setting of Greenwich, London, 10 years earlier. The aim of the GFCE-Meridian initiative was to draw upon the established global network of knowledge and experience of the Meridian members, thereby stimulating new activities to enhance Cyber Capacity Building.
From Léon to Mexico City
A broad range of countries became involved in discussions on CIIP, and the first results were delivered in another historic setting at the 2016 Meridian Conference in Mexico City. The 1st product was a remarkably successful 'Primer Day' aimed at new delegates to help them get 'up to speed' and feel comfortable engaging in the discussions and workshops of the main event - attended by 70% of the delegates. This was an optional session and included a description of the basic terminology and concepts commonly used in CIIP as well as an innovative ice-breaking session. It also involved panels of experts to introduce some of the key international organisations active in the CIIP field (such as the OAS, World Bank, and the GFCE), and a chance for delegates to ask another panel of experts about any aspects of CIIP.
MERIDIAN Community Members 2016
Identifying Good Practices
The 2nd deliverable of the Initiative was also aimed at new delegates and countries who are finding their way in the field of CIIP. This was a back-to-basics Good Practice Guide (GPG) to CIIP. It explains the fundamental principles and processes of developing a regime for Protecting the CII, from the precursors of Critical Infrastructure Identification, to the more advanced phases of monitoring and review, and information sharing. The Guide was designed to be brief and easy to read, to get a good overview of the elements, but it also has a well-researched list of references and further reading. It is freely available to download from the GFCE- or the Meridian website (www.meridianprocess.org) and is considered essential reading for anyone involved in Cyber Capacity Building as well as CIIP.
The GFCE-MERIDIAN Good Practice Guide on Critical Information Infrastructure Protection
Preparing for the Future
The GPG was launched and discussed widely at Meridian 2016 and some of the feedback from the more developed and developing countries was that there were some aspects that could benefit from a more in-depth discussion. These additional aspects reflect the challenges of keeping up with what is critical, against the background of a continuously changing cyberspace, and how to maintain protection when services, some of them essential, are migrating towards digital and often offshore environments. These developments can undermine previous assumptions about what is critical and how it needs to be protected. This is just as much a challenge for the development of National Cyber Security Strategies, but when it comes to the CII, the stakes are very high; it is, by definition, the most important element of a nation's cyberspace, since it supports all critical services.
The evolution of terminology also needs to be kept under review, to ensure that the fundamentals of CIIP are still being addressed, even if new terms such as 'cyber resilience' come to replace CIIP. These will be discussed in a 'Next Steps' successor to the original GPG being developed for Meridian 2017, which will take place in Oslo on October 24th - 25th.
The CIIP Initiative has a 'Buddying' programme, which is aimed at all Meridian countries, whether developed or developing, as it has a peer model as well as the more traditional hierarchical relationship pattern. This is being tested this year and will be further developed at Meridian 2017. Other elements of the Initiative include plans to develop a free-standing CIIP Training Package based on the GPG and the Primer Day, in conjunction with a UK Cyber Capacity Building project, which will trial it in Africa. Further developments of the Initiative are also under discussion.
Meridian & GFCE
There is no doubt that that the collaboration between GFCE and Meridian has been a great success so far, and has plenty of potential to go much further if the resources are forthcoming. It is also clear that, despite the ascendance of Cyber Security as a key topic on the agenda of every government, the subject of CIIP is still as important as it was 12 years ago when Meridian was conceived. Consequently, the issue of CIIP will continue to have a key place in the GFCE portfolio.

End of the Month Review
By Timeshare Insider
Consumer advice, Consumer Stories, End of Month
Welcome to the end of the month and our review of the articles and news for October. It was a month which saw the emergence of several new "fake" law firms and claims companies, some of which are reincarnations of ones we have reported over the past few years. October began with the story entitled Welcome to Cockroach City and ended with an update of our old friends the Litigious Abogados Family.
Welcome to Cockroach City was a horrific account of a families stay at their "5 Star" penthouse apartment in San Augustin Gran Canaria. They originally purchased the penthouse around 20 years ago at Airtours Beach Club now known as Bluebay.
Our readers provided many photographs of the disgusting state of the place, it is no longer "5 Star" but more of a "slum".
https://insidetimeshare.com/welcome-to-cockroach-city/
On the 3rd October, we published an article based on the reports from El Diario and the Spanish television news TVE1 focusing on Anfi and Silverpoint. It focused on the attempts by both of these companies to avoid paying court-ordered payments to clients by shifting funds between bank accounts.
https://insidetimeshare.com/timeshare-companies-highlighted-in-spanish-news/
We then brought you an update on the latest incarnation of the Litigious Abogados Family, SG Abogados. This is just one of many fake law firms which Inside Timeshare has been following for the past 3 years, enticing timeshare owners with fake documents showing that their timeshare company has been taken to court and they have been awarded many thousands in compensation. The only problem is they must first pay a substantial amount to have the money released by the court.
Then on October 9th, we published yet another report from El Diario in which they reported that the Prosecutors Office in Tenerife had ordered an investigation into the movement of funds to avoid court-ordered payments. It was also reported that criminal charges for the "Crime of Obstruction of Justice and Frustration of Execution of Sentences".
https://insidetimeshare.com/el-diario-publishes-another-article-on-silverpoint/
Our next article issued a warning on yet another two "scams" in the making, A Spanish Life and Litigation Services SL.
A Spanish Life began sending unsolicited emails contrary to the General Data Protection Regulations which forbid the sending of emails which are unsolicited. Their aim was to act as a lead generator for what we can only suspect is a "fake" law firm or claims company.
Litigation Services SL which we know is linked to another "fake" claims company Platinum Services & Administration SL. They claimed to be appointed by the courts to trace clients of EZE Group to help them retrieve the money which is being held by the courts. As we know, courts do not appoint private companies to do this and also they are not holding any money from EZE Group.
We then published yet another article on our friends Nordic Consulting, with a photograph of "The Team" outside their new offices. This did not go down well with some of those in the photo who emailed Inside Timeshare wanting it removed. They stated that they did not give permission for this to be published, but, after consulting with our legal team it was decided to keep the photo in place as it was already in the public domain and could be easily found on google.
Then on October 17th, we broke the news of more embargoes on 6 properties at the Beverly Hills Club and as the article was being prepared news came in of another 5 properties being embargoed. The reason, Silverpoint again was trying to avoid paying what the courts had ordered.
https://insidetimeshare.com/breaking-news-more-embargoes-on-silverpoint/
It was again time to report on the "fake" law firms, this time information that an old company called Solutions SL had teamed up with SG Abogados. Again this was to illicit payments from clients of closed down companies which they claimed was being held by the courts and they were appointed to help the clients retrieve.
Towards the end of the month Inside Timeshare published yet another article on our old friends in Tenerife Nordic Consulting and Viking Real Estate. This particular article focused more on Viking and the fact that their "Privacy Policy" statement showed that they had "cut and pasted" items belonging to a legitimate law firm. Obviously, their IT department is not as clever as they think they are.
On the last couple of days of the month Inside Timeshare published a warning about another new website which is targeting timeshare owners O-YOO. This is the trading name of a company called Consumer Contract Resolutions (UK) Ltd, but is actually operating from Southern Spain.
Then on the following day, we published an update on one of the controlling minds of the company Trevor McClintock. It transpired that he had been found guilty of fraud back in 2015 and was also barred from being a company director for three years. This did prove the point that the chance of this company and website is a fraudulent operation and timeshare owners should avoid them like the plague.
So that was October, there were many more articles than we have highlighted here, but you the reader can always select October from the menu and read them again for yourselves.
Now it November and we will be seeing even more dodgy companies contacting timeshare owners, after all, it is the time for the annual maintenance bills to be hitting the doormat.
As usual, Inside Timeshare issues, the warning
DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE ENGAGING WITH ANY COMPANY.

Who Killed the Video Store?
Posted in Miscellaneous, tagged Billy Corben, Blockbuster, Cocaine Cowboys, Miami, rakontur on April 25, 2017|
"In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far."
The Buggles/Who Killed the Radio Star
I thought it would be fun to revisit a post I wrote way back on November 15, 2009 called Cocaine Cowboys & the Future of Film. I wrote it the day after I watched my first Netflix movie online.
Before that most DVDs were mailed to you, or you went to a video store. I remember after viewing that film thinking, how long until Blockbuster video stores are out of business? According to Wikipedia, in 2010 Blockbuster had 4,000 videos stores in the U.S. and 2,500 international stores. That year Blockbuster went through a world of change. They filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy production in September of 2010 with $900 of debt.
After that Blockbusters began closing stores and I think there are a few stores scattered around the world. There still is a Blockbuster website with a link of some kind of deal they have with dish.
But its retail store days of being a regular part of American pop culture are long gone. Like record stores before them, just a reminder of how the times keep changing.
Cocaine Cowboys & the Future of Film
(blog post from 11/15/2009)
Yesterday was an important day personally. I got a glimpse into the future. And, yes, it did involve illegal drugs.
I watched the documentary Cocaine Cowboys on immediate viewing online through Netflix. The movie has been out for few years but I had never seen it before. Having attended the University of Miami in 1981-1982 the topic alone was of great interest to me. It was impossible to live in Dade County in the 80s and not be acutely aware of the drug trade and the murders that followed in its wake.
In 1981 there were 621 murders in Dade County. (A record that still stands there.) I distinctly remember the news at that time where each murder seemed more bizarre than the next. One official on the documentary called Miami at that time, "the most dangerous place in the world." (In reality, I think Medellin, Colombia, as in the Medellin drug cartel, in the 80s technically had the highest rate of murder per capita in the world.)
I personally didn't see any of the crime (I was safely editing my first 8mm film in my Mahoney-Pearson dorm room) though it was hard miss all the Ferraris & Porsches kicking around Cocount Grove. And it didn't take much for a film professor to show us A Clockwork Orange and connect it to Miami. Stanley Kubrick's futuristic look at a chaotic culture full of brutal violence and murder without remorse was a daily realty in Miami.
But as fascinating as that era was it's not what caused my mini glimpse into the future. It was simply because I could watch the movie immediately online. Legally. While I have watched LOST online before this was the first movie I have ever watched online.
It was an epiphany of sorts. I had a flashback to standing in line to see the movie ET, 15 years of renting VHS tapes (and paying all those Blockbuster late fees & rewind fees), to marveling how Netflix revolutionized things by having DVDs delivered to your home. Supply & demand and distribution channels seem to be changing quicker than ever.
Now I'm a mid-level tech savvy guy and try to somewhat keep up with where things are heading. I edit every day on Final Cut Pro. I Twitter, blog, and use Facebook yet I just learned yesterday that the push this Christmas will be TVs that are interconnected to the web. This will make your TV more like a computer, stereo, photo gallery and movie theater all in one. There you'll link to You Tube, Twitter, Facebook and the like.
Just as people are dropping their land phone lines you have to wonder what internet connected TV will do to regular cable TV. If all you do is push a button and watch the movie of your choice, what will it do to DVD sales that have been in decline for a while? There's talk of streaming videos the same day they open in theaters.
The battle is on. And some would say its getting bloody. On production as well as distribution.
Anne Thompson wrote a post on indieWIRE called Toronto Wrap: Indie Bloodbathwere she said this year's Toronto Film Festival marked the end of the old independent market.
There were few sales made at the festival leading producer Jonathan Dana to say, "It's a massacre."
Thompson explains, "Fox Searchlight, Overture, Summit, Focus Features, Lionsgate, Sony Picture Classics and Miramax all wanted to buy in Toronto. While they may buy later, at fest's end, they walked away empty handed."
It's one thing for independents to raise the money to get a film made and to get it into the key festivals (Telluride, Venice, Tornoto & New York) but what happens to those films if they don't get a distribution deal?
Thompson explains, "Most of the 145 films on sale at Toronto will wind up streamed, downloaded, and viewed on a small TV or computer or mobile screen."
At the end of Cocaine Cowboys one of the ex-girlfriends of one of the drug runners asks, "What I want to know is what happened to all that money?" That's what filmmakers are wondering these days.
Actually, Cocaine Cowboys may be a good template for the small and micro-budget films made outside L.A. It was produced by rakontur in Miami, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2006, got picked up by Magnolia Films and had a limited theater release ($150,000 domestic), then a cable run, good DVD sales, and eventually streamed onto my computer last night. Don't know if anybody made any money along the way but I have read rumors that HBO television is developing a dramatic series based on the players in the doc.
Hollywood in 2009 is not a more dangerous place than Miami in 1981, it just feels that way. I imagine the film industry is going to follow the path that Miami took after the city was declared DOA. It emerged as a thriving city and a land of new opportunity to those who embraced the change.
Update 4/25/17: Cocaine Cowboys director Billy Corben (a University of Miami grad) of Rakontur has a new film coming out this year (or next) called Cocaine Cowboys: Los Muchachos. He also is active and interesting on Twitter @BillyCorban.
And just yesterday, the Orlando Sentinel reported that former Cocaine Cowboy Gustavo Falcon was arrested in Central Florida where he'd been living the last five years under an assumed name. He evaded authorities for over 25 years. He's now in a Federal Detention Center in Miami and I'm sure Corban and he's team would love to interview him. But regardless, the new press helps keep Cocaine Cowboys in the news. And as Bill Murray says in Scrooged, "You can't buy this kind of publicity!"

Putting the Bust in Blockbuster
Posted in Miscellaneous, tagged Blockbuster, Don Henley, New York Minute on August 26, 2010| 1 Comment »
"The wolf is always at the door."
I don't remember when I first asked myself, "How is Blockbuster going to survive?"—but it was a few years ago. Now with a debt load of over a billion dollars and stocks currently selling at 11 cents, everyone is wondering, "How is Blockbuster going to survive?"
"After dominating the home video rental business for more than a decade and struggling to survive in recent years against upstarts Netflix and Redbox, Blockbuster Inc. is preparing to file for bankruptcy next month, according to people who have been briefed on the matter."
The first Blockbuster video store opened in 1985 just as the VCR movie rental business was taking off. If I recall correctly, the video rental market at that time consisted of mostly mom and pop type stores. By the early 90s Blockbuster stores were everywhere and they became the largest movie rental company in the United States.
For a long time its major competition was Hollywood Videos (also known as Movie Gallery) which at its peak had over 4,500 stores in North America. Early this year Hollywood Video/Movie Gallery filed for bankruptcy and the last of its stores just closed within the last month.
Whether Blockbuster finds a way to reorganize and survive or becomes the new Fotomat is unknown at this point. But either way, they had a great 20 plus year run and filled a niche between Hollywood and consumers. I wish I could hit a button and look at how many movies I've rented from them over the years. And the list of movies itself would probably a few good memories.
I know there are more efficient and convenient ways to rent movies these days, but if all the large video rental houses fade away I will miss just being able to wander through the store and stumbling on a movie I had never seen before or hadn't seen in a while.
But I'll never miss those dang late fees.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood…(Part 10)
Posted in filmmaking, tagged Artisian, Betamax, Blockbuster, Blu-Ray, Concorde, Crowe, Curb, Dov S-S Simens, DVD, Fox, Fox Searchlight, Miramax, New Line, Orion Classics, Paramount, Samuel Goldwyn, Sony, Sony Classics, Trident, Troma, Universal, VHS, Warren Miller on November 2, 2009| 2 Comments »
Once upon a time in Hollywood…every film was shot on film. edited on film, and distributed on film. And once upon a time the studios that made the films also owned the theaters. It's been a slow train coming but changes that began in the 50s & 60s are coming into fruition in our day.
When you break down the number of feature films that are released every year in the United States the number is actually fairly small. (Say between 400-600 films every year find their way to the theaters.) So it's no surprise that there are only 40-60 distributors in North America.
This is the way Dov S-S Simens breaks that down in his book From Reel to Reel:
1) The major studios: These are the six or seven distributors (Universal, Fox, Paramount, Sony, etc) that make 20-30 movies a year at $10-$70 million (2005 numbers)
2) The mini-majors; The six or seven distributors (Miramax, New Line, Artisian, etc.) that make 5-20 movies a year at $5-$20 million budgets.
3) The independents; The 10-15 distributors (Fox Searchlight, Orion Classics, Samuel Goldwyn, Sony Classics, etc.) that male three to five movies a year at $1-$5 million budgets.
4) Exploitation. The 20-30 companies (Concorde, Crowe, Troma, Curb, Trident, etc.) that make 3-15 movies a year with words like "Blood," "Zombie," "Slime," "nightmare," or "Massacre" in the titles, at budgets under (well under) a million, and generate mostly foreign and video revenues.
And over the years there have be people like Warren Miller who have niche markets (like surf & ski films) and go from town to town renting auditoriums to show their movies. I have actually heard about a few independents who are doing a new version of this where they take their film into a town and then do a Q&A afterwards. I personally would love to see that model take off. Filmmaker as a traveling band. While I could see doing one of those tours as fun, I don't see that as a big money maker or a long term solution for most filmmakers.
I will say that young filmmakers today have an entrepreneur spirit today that was unheard of in the past. Perhaps it's because the tools have changes. I have seen filmmakers not only make their own films, but design the posters and t-shirts, the DVDs, set up websites to distribute their films on top of the normal film festival route. This stuff is changing quickly and has for at least the last 30 years.
In the 70s Betamax seemed like the future of distribution, until VHS dominated in the 80s. Mom and pop stores opened up to meet the new demand to watch movies at home until the giant stores like Blockbuster and Hollywood Video took over. Of course, DVD overtook VHS as the preferred way to view movies at home. (DVDs have held off Blu-Ray so far and now Blu-Rays machines can be found for under $100.) Meanwhile Netflix and Redbox have signaled the end of Blockbuster and Hollywood Videos as those two giants continue to close store after store.
It doesn't take a genius to see how quickly this all evolves. The traditional way for films to be distributed is for the reels each film are shipped to each theater. I imagine within a few years that will all switch over to some kind of digital delivery system. One thing that slows this down is each theater has to switch over to expensive digital projectors. (This is not a good economy to do this.) Another concern is piracy. Imagine how easy it would be for people to steal & copy a high quality digital file of a feature film.
But just like the film editing process where almost all films are cut digitally, and how a growing number of films are shot digitally, and how feature films are starting to be digitally downloaded by Netflix and others, it's just a matter of time before the theater distribution is totally digital.
Perhaps the only thing that hasn't changed over the years is people still love movies. They still love stories. I hope that never changes.
So while there will be power shifts and jobs lost, there will be also new opportunities for creatives.
And the best news is it still all begins with a good solid script. (Well, at least it did until the success of the Paranormal Activities.) Happy Writing.


SHADOW WOODS METAL FEST, Maryland's open-air metal camping party, announces that Boston black metallers Lord Almighty will join the lineup this Fall. Other newcomers to the fest include Germany's sludge masters, Mantar, North Dakota's eerie Ghost Bath, Canada's frosty Numenorean, who opens the fest on Thursday September 15th, and New Jersey's Iberian folk-metalists Windfaerer, who play Saturday.
The three-day event continues through the morning of Sunday, September 18th at Camp Hidden Valley, in White Hall, Maryland, about thirty miles north of Baltimore. Now in its second year, SHADOW WOODS METAL FEST strives to showcase the best in underground metal from diverse subgenres, on three stages at the same charming summer camp where the fest was held previously.
"Lord Almighty has a raw, fresh approach to black metal," says festival organizer Mary Spiro of Metallomusikum.com/Shadow Woods Productions LLC. "They display both aggression and beauty when they perform, and we are super stoked to have them!" Lord Almighty replaces Chicago's Empyreus on Saturday night.

Atlanta: America's nerdiest city
Submitted by Doug Richards, 11Alive Reporter
Friday, April 12th, 2013, 7:08am
ATLANTA -- Meredith Placko's closet isn't about clothes. Instead, it's about an identity. The racks contain many of the essential ingredients for a life she lives proudly as a nerd.
"The whole world is kind of embracing the geek chic concept," said Placko, a blogger and freelance TV producer.
It starts with Dragon*Con, the annual downtown Atlanta sci-fi nerdfest that cinched Placko's decision to move here from south Florida three years ago. Dragon*Con helped vault Atlanta to the top of a list of America's nerdiest cities, according to a real estate site.

Your business has been successful in sales for years and for some reason the effectiveness of your sales staff has decrease in recent years. Maybe you need better personal, maybe new competition has entered the market, or maybe your strategic sales plan is just not working. The point is, you need to evaluate your sales plan. So, let's take a look at the ingredients to a solid sales plan.
If you are in one of these scenarios above, it is time to take a deep look at your strategic sales plan and redevelop your plan for success, not failure. Here are 5 ingredients that you should have in your strategic sales plan.
According to Deloitte, 9 out of 10 executives believe that culture is a significant driver of business success. When your sales force aligns with the company culture they will be more engaged and produce better results. Developing programs that give back to the community, or caused based programs, will help align personal values with company goals.
Does your company have meetings to have meetings? Is your sales staff able to get out and sell your product? One of the biggest obstacles in business is getting out of your own way. When you let yourself actually get out and work, you are going to get better results. Establish a disciplined routine and stick to it.
Do you know who you are targeting and trying to sell your product or service too? Many sales professional are just selling to sell. However, when you know your ideal audience, you are able to find customers that are ready and willing to buy your product. Fulfilling needs is much easier than selling another product nobody needs.
Does your marketing department know what your sales department is doing, working on, and targeting? The answer is probably no. When your company aligns sales and marketing and each department is on the same page, things start to click. The target customer of the marketing group should be the same as the sales department. The goals of the marketing department should align with the goals of the sales team. Alignment is key when trying to get your message heard in a noisy environment.
This is simple. Your strategic sales plan all comes down to the execution. Without execution, even the best sales plan is going to fail. So, get on the phone and knock on some doors.
A strategic sales plan is vital for the success of your business and sales department. Use these 5 ingredients to ensure that your sales plans are effective and get the results you are looking for. Remember, sales is hard. Make sure that you are setting your sales staff up for success.


There were a few hours between last night's rain and this afternoon's rain, so a buddy and I decided to go mountain biking.
We had never explored the "Brock Tract "section of the Toronto and Region Conservation trails it was pretty interesting. There was one section of pine forest that was just stunning, the entire forest floor was covered in pine needles, nothing survived by the super-tall pine trees. Really eerie and amazing feeling!
We were fully expecting mud, but I didn't anticipate just how slippery everything was going to be! My back wheel spent more time sliding out from under me than going straight, it was really tricky. The biggest hazards were soft mud patches and slippery leaves on top of rocks.
I had one pretty good spill, the terrain changed from a hard-packed trail to a soft forest floor. I was going a bit too quick through the curve, and my back end just stepped out from under me and I fell on my side. Ouch!
Oh, and the warning from the hunter we ran into in camouflage to "watch out for bow hunters" was slightly terrifying, actually. He wasn't on the Conservation area, but at that point due to some confusion in the trail markings, neither were we! Oops.
It was a nice time. We've spent hours and hours in the adjacent properties: Durham Forrest, Walker's Woods, Glen Major, and today portions of the Brock Tract... and we still haven't covered it all! It's just huge, and the diversity of terrain and trails is really cool (not to mention the effects of the different seasons!).


We have now got 3 new vans added to our fleet, which have all been pimped out with new signage and more space inside to enhance our delifery service.
Video testimonial filmed with our customer Safe Seal Roofline, Talking about being Freefoam Registered Installer. Also some kind words about us thank you we appreciate such positive feedback.

Our handy tool provides an example of the entire range of colours available in the Fortex embossed cladding collection. Using the calculator is simple. Just select a house image similar to that of your project, then click through the coloured UPVC cladding options available for both the external cladding board and trims.
Also, we know working out how many boards you need for a project can be difficult so we have made it easy by providing you a free Cladding Calculator to help you estimate how much cladding will cover the area in question. Our calculator will help to eliminate high amounts of wastage, saving you money and the environment.
The Cladding Calculator will estimate the number of boards and packs needed for your project. Choose your desired external cladding board and enter the dimensions of the cladding area into the relevant boxes. We have two calculators; one for triangular areas and one for rectangular areas.
Again we decided to celebrate GBPlastics beauticians day so we could all have a bit of fun and raise some money for charity at the same time.
Similar to last year we asked our customers to donate to our chosen charity The Buddy Bag Foundation, and the 'winning' team member at each branch got to wear makeup for the day.
Thank you all again to all our customers and everyone at the branches who got involved.

It seems like there is a 'day for anything' now, so we at GBPlastics decied to have a bit of fun with it and raise some money for charity at the same time.
Monday 26th June was Beauticians Day. What has that got to do with plastic? Nothing! But that was precisely the point. We asked our customers to donate to our chosen charity The Buddy Bag Foundation, and the 'winning' team member at each branch got to wear makeup for the day.
We are absolutely amazed at the response, and delighted that both our customers and everyone at the branches got involved. We managed to raise a massive £360, and had a lot of fun, which is really what fund raising should be about.

Hey friends! How was everyone's weekend?! I snuck a few hours away to Crystal Beach (near Galveston/Houston) for a quick trip to see my best friend and her family and I am so glad I did! Things have been crazy in my life lately and a short getaway was just what I needed. I packed super light (which is definitely not my norm) and packed this 14-piece Summer Treasures Set from L'Occitane! I've had a fun partnership with them for the past month to introduce to y'all these travel-sized treasures and today I'm sharing my 5 favorite products!


'16 shots' is a song by Chicago-based Hip-Hop artist Vic Mensa from his 2016 EP titled There's A lot Going On. It was written in response to the October 2014 murder of Laqaun McDonald by officers of the Chicago Police Department and the unveiling of graphic video footage that had been kept under lock and key by police superintendent Garry McCarthy and Mayor Rahm Emanuel for more than a year after the shooting occurred. The video footage sparked outrage as it showed that 17 year old McDonald was shot a total of 16 times, the first 3 as he was walking away from police and the final 13 as his presumably lifeless body was spread out on the ground. Not surprisingly, it was announced this year that those responsible for the young man's death are going to be let off with little more than a slap on the wrist (if even that) for their savage attack on the teenager's life and dead body.
Shot 'em 16 times, how fucked up is that?
The video shows Laquan walking southbound down the middle of Pulaksi, which is a four lane street in Chicago, two lanes going northbound, two lanes going southbound. There are squad cars visible in front of him and also squadcars behind him. The dash cam video is from one of the responding units which was trailing Laquan approximately 20 to 25 feet behind him. The shooter's squad car is visible as it drives past Laquan and parks in the middle of Pulaski behind another squad car. Two officers then exit that vehicle with their guns draw. At that point, Laquan begins to walk away from the officers on a southwest angle towards the sidewalk. What Laquan is about 12 to 15 feet away from the officers, the width of an entire lane of the southbound traffic, one officer begins shooting. Laquan immediately spins to the ground and the video then shows that the officer continues to shoot Laquan multiple times as he lays in the street. 16 seconds pass from the time Laquan hits the ground until the last visible puff of smoke rises from his torso area. An officer then approaches Laquan, stands over him and appears to shout something as he kicks the knife out of his hand.
Previous Does ITunes Have a Double Standard When it comes to the Sexual Expression of White Women vs. Black Women?
I think it's always remained somewhat political though it was most often on the underground. Now it is surfacing back to the mainstream somewhat thankfully.
Indeed! In a just world this would be a #1 hit (although if the world was just a song like this wouldn't have to exist).

About the whisky
A bright and herbal Bunnahabhain from the 1990s, which ticked all the boxes for character traits we love from this era. A great example of the diversity of flavour which can be found on the powerhouse whisky island of Islay, this Bunnahabhain is an unpeated dram packed with all the maritime nature that we have come to expect from the region.
Distilled early enough to exhibit some of the gentler, praline-led nature of older releases, while also showing signs of the newer, more phenolic, coastal style, this is an expression described by Serge Valentin at WhiskyFun as "Superb whisky, I'm afraid these batches are now to be taken very seriously. Extremely seriously."
About the region Islay
This Hebridean island, which has become best known for its peaty, coastal influenced, iodine-rich whiskies, has a surprisingly high number of distilleries for such a small island. It is thought by some historians that distillation reached Ireland via Islay in the 13th century, which would explain the vital role nearby Islay plays in Scotland's whisky industry. Plagued by terrible weather and torrential rainfall, distillers on Islay take advantage of the resulting expansive peat bogs, by choosing to malt their barley over burning peat. This highly phenolic liquid has long been in demand from blenders, but has also attracted those in search of a distinctive and powerful single malt. Yet, Islay displays remarkable diversity, with the likes of Bunnahabhain, Bruichladdich and Caol Ila producing both peated and unpeated malts.
About Bunnahabhain distillery
Testament to the wide variety of styles that can be found on the island whisky powerhouse of Islay, Bunnahabhain malt is surprisingly mild and largely unpeated, though the distillery was originally founded in 1881 to provide peaty whiskies to the blending industry. The distillery's name is Gaelic for 'mouth of the river', referencing the Margadale river from whose clear spring water the whisky is distilled, on the sheltered shores of the Sound of Islay. All Bunnahabhain casks are stored on site on the island of Islay, giving ample opportunity for the casks to breathe the sea air, a fact that likely contributes to the whisky's pronounced salty, maritime notes.
Bunnahabhain 28 year old Tasting Notes – Jim Murray's Whisky bible 2021
Bunna is found on the seashore of Islay… and this nose had been taken right to the very edge. It wreaks of salty seadog, the brine entangled with the ancient oak of the vessel.
Though the delivery is jaded, the oak having that peculiarly glassy feel unique to exhausted malts, there is also no getting away from the fact that this exudes a genteel old-worldliness than one might mistake for a 50-year-old rather than something just about approaching its 30th year. Indeed, it has managed to turn the weariness of the oak into an attribute and at the same times somehow manages to concentrate the richness of the barley tenfold…
Tired and creaking… but still has the elegance and wherewithal to finish the job with a salty, malty flourish.
Old school, proper unpeated Bunna – the way it used to be when at its best under Highland Distillers' ownership. However, this has never been a malt that has aged particularly well and has a habit of starting to fall apart by the time it is about 25-y-o. So much to like here, indeed revere: the astonishingly salty nose and, after a faltering start, fabulous concentrated malt, thick and lush, on delivery. But after the midpoint, balance is compromised as the tannin notes fail to find a balancing malty answer. This is probably about four-years past where I'd really like it to be. Occasionally truly outstanding very old Bunnas make it through – but it is a rare phenomenon. This is borderline brilliant. Incidentally, I stayed at the Bunnahabhain distillery on holiday back in 1991: it was truly the last real vacation I ever had.

Q: Why docker image doesn't run "docker build"? I'm using gitlab ci, and sorry for the silly question, but why that code below doesn't work?
image: docker:stable

  - build

build-docker:
  stage: build
  script:
  - docker build -t my-image .

When I run a docker image of docker on my terminal I'm able to use these commands like docker build.
For the gitlab-ci above works, I've to add the services: docker:dind, but I don't really understand why, since I've an image that theoretically has the commands that I need.

Local Jewish basketball players honored

Four South Florida Jewish high school basketball players are excited and motivated for this upcoming season after being honored by Jewish Hoops America (JHA) for their play last year.
These local athletes were recognized by JHA as some of the best Jewish high school basketball players throughout the United States and Canada for the 2015-16 season.
These players are: Ben Tal, an 11th grade guard for the Rabbi Alexander S. Gross Hebrew Academy in Miami Beach who was selected to first team All-Jewish Hoops America and named Underclassman of the Year; Ethan Lasko, a 12th grade guard for Katz Yeshiva High School of South Florida in Boca Raton, who was also named to the first team; Joey Levy, an 11th grade guard for the David Posnack Jewish Day School in Davie, who was named to the second team; and Jack Esformes, an 11th grade guard for the RASG Hebrew Academy who was recognized as an honorable mention for the All-JHA teams.
Tal said regarding his recognition: "It made me feel like all my hard work is finally being paid off. Finally, a lot of colleges are starting to look at me and I'm just trying to blow my name up."
Tal's teammate Esformes said it was a "great honor" to be recognized by JHA.
"I hope to receive even greater accomplishments in the future," he continued.
Levy said about his recognition: "I put a lot of work into it with my team and it was a great feeling to see all the work I had done get recognized."
In an email, Lasko said regarding this honor: "First off I would like to thank G-d."
"I was very proud to receive this award knowing how much was done behind the scenes. Hours of hard work was done from me and my team. My team and coaches helped me a lot to win this award by putting so much trust in me."
All four of these players said they have bigger goals this upcoming season, especially team success in district, regional and state championships, and all feel a sense of Jewish pride to be recognized by JHA.
"Throughout the years Jewish basketball has not been known to have talent that can succeed outside of Jewish basketball besides a few exceptions," Lasko said. "It proves the point that we are just as good and even better than many non-Jewish players and teams."
Levy said: "You don't see many Jewish kids achieve these kinds of things, so just to see that gives me a lot of pride."
Tal said about his honor: "When you walk around, a lot of Jews know you."
"I was in the airport when I went to Texas and some people asked to take pictures with me, so it's an honor to represent the Jewish population," he continued.
Esformes said: "For Jewish basketball players, we don't really get a lot of hype, so in my future I would like to try to change that and show everyone that Jewish kids can make it in basketball."
The schools' athletic directors praised their student athletes who were recognized.
Chad Bishop, the Hebrew Academy's athletic director, said "Ben and Jack both work extremely hard to perfect their craft and will strive to be even better this coming year."
Wayne Stofsky, the Posnack School's director of athletics, said: "We know how hard Joey works on his game day in and day out, so it's nice to see that others are taking note, and it's also nice to know that it's bringing him some accolades, our team some respect and our school some notoriety."
Arlen Restler, Posnack's associate director of athletics, added "While he's extremely humble and grateful for his individual accolades, Joey is the definition of a team player, and only wants what's best for his team and school."
Rachel Yudewitz, Yeshiva High School's athletics director, said about Lasko: "He works extremely hard, on and off the court, to be the best he can be and his determination has led to this and many other accolades."

Manchester Baby
The Manchester Baby, also known as the Small-Scale Experimental Machine (SSEM), was the world's first electronic stored-program computer. It was built at the University of Manchester, England, by Frederic C. Williams, Tom Kilburn, and Geoff Tootill, and ran its first program on 21 June 1948, seventy-one years ago.
The first design for a program-controlled computer was Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine in the 1830s. A century later, in 1936, mathematician Alan Turing published his description of what became known as a Turing machine, a theoretical concept intended to explore the limits of mechanical computation. Turing was not imagining a physical machine, but a person he called a "computer", who acted according to the instructions provided by a tape on which symbols could be read and written sequentially as the tape moved under a tape head. Turing proved that if an algorithm can be written to solve a mathematical problem, then a Turing machine can execute that algorithm.
The ENIAC (1946) was the first machine that was both electronic and general purpose. It was Turing complete, with conditional branching, and programmable to solve a wide range of problems, but its program was held in the state of switches in patchcords, not in memory, and it could take several days to reprogram. Researchers such as Turing and Zuse investigated the idea of using the computer's memory to hold the program as well as the data it was working on, and it was mathematician John von Neumann who wrote a widely distributed paper describing that computer architecture, still used in almost all computers.
Turing joined the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in October 1945, by which time scientists within the Ministry of Supply had concluded that Britain needed a National Mathematical Laboratory to co-ordinate machine-aided computation. A Mathematics Division was set up at the NPL, and on 19 February 1946 Alan Turing presented a paper outlining his design for an electronic stored-program computer to be known as the Automatic Computing Engine (ACE). This was one of several projects set up in the years following the Second World War with the aim of constructing a stored-program computer. At about the same time, EDVAC was under development at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering, and the University of Cambridge Mathematical Laboratory was working on EDSAC.
The government department responsible for the NPL decided that, of all the work being carried out by the TRE on its behalf, ACE was to be given the top priority. NPL's decision led to a visit by the superintendent of the TRE's Physics Division on 22 November 1946, accompanied by Frederic C. Williams and A. M. Uttley, also from the TRE. Williams led a TRE development group working on CRT stores for radar applications, as an alternative to delay lines. Williams was not available to work on the ACE because he had already accepted a professorship at the University of Manchester, and most of his circuit technicians were in the process of being transferred to the Department of Atomic Energy. The TRE agreed to second a small number of technicians to work under Williams' direction at the university, and to support another small group working with Uttley at the TRE.
For use in a binary digital computer, the tube had to be capable of storing either one of two states at each of its memory locations, corresponding to the binary digits (bits) 0 and 1. It exploited the positive or negative electric charge generated by displaying either a dash or a dot at any position on the CRT screen, a phenomenon known as secondary emission. A dash generated a positive charge, and a dot a negative charge, either of which could be picked up by a detector plate in front of the screen; a negative charge represented 0, and a positive charge 1. The charge dissipated in about 0.2 seconds, but it could be automatically refreshed from the data picked up by the detector.
Although Newman played no engineering role in the development of the Baby, or any of the subsequent Manchester computers, he was generally supportive and enthusiastic about the project, and arranged for the acquisition of war-surplus supplies for its construction, including GPO metal racks and "Еthe material of two complete Colossi" from Bletchley.
Each 32-bit word of RAM could contain either a program instruction or data. In a program instruction, bits 0–12 represented the memory address of the operand to be used, and bits 13–15 specified the operation to be executed, such as storing a number in memory; the remaining 16 bits were unused. The Baby's 0-operand instruction set|single operand architecture meant that the second operand of any operation was implicit: the accumulator or the program counter (instruction address); program instructions specified only the address of the data in memory.
Geoff Tootill wrote an amended version of the program the following month, and in mid-July Alan Turing в who had been appointed as a reader in the mathematics department at Manchester University in September 1948 в submitted the third program, to carry out long division. Turing had by then been appointed to the nominal post of Deputy Director of the Computing Machine Laboratory at the university, although the laboratory did not become a physical reality until 1951.
In 1998, a working replica of the Baby, now on display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester, was built to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the running of its first program. Demonstrations of the machine in operation are held regularly at the museum. In 2008, an original panoramic photograph of the entire machine was discovered at the University of Manchester. The photograph, taken on 15 December 1948 by a research student, Alec Robinson, had been reproduced in The Illustrated London News in June 1949.


People often ask: "How can I make my audience remember my presentations better?"
Research shows that the average audience member can hold and retain about 3 to 5 ideas in his working memory and his attention span lasts an average of 25 minutes. What this means is that if you bombard your listeners with a topic like a "15-point Action Plan to Diversifying Your Income", they'll probably end up remembering less than five points and the rest will be quickly forgotten, even before they walked out the door!


@bensonuii saves backup has multiplayer online functionalities? ratrogaming ever had any online functionality before?
still, i see absolutely no reason why they can't give the option of backing up my saves via a hard drive like the ps4, or even the wii!
so my question is, does hulu have multiplayer online functionality?
