news Lockdown Friday, June 05, 2020 - 09:39
All places of worship, hotels and shopping malls outside the containment zones in Telangana will re-open from June 8, the state government announced on Thursday.
The government issued an order with fresh guidelines in line with those issued by Ministry of Home Affairs on May 30.
This was done with a view to phased reopening of prohibited activities in areas outside containment zones.
The Government Order (GO) allowed reopening of religious places/places of worship for public, hotels, restaurants and other hospitality services and shopping malls, other than gaming centres and cinema halls. This will be subject to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) as prescribed by government from time to time.
However, activities like educational institutions, metro rail, cinema halls, gymnasiums, swimming pools, entertainment parks, sports complexes, bars, social, political, sports, entertainment, academic, cultural and religious functions and other large congregations will remain prohibited throughout the state.
The government on May 31 had announced extension of lockdown in containment zones till June 30 and permitted relaxations in areas outside containment zones.
As per the latest GO, the night curfew will continue throughout the state from 9 pm to 5 am. No shops/establishments, except hospitals and pharmacies, will remain open after 8.30 pm.
Large public gatherings/congregations shall remain prohibited. However, marriage related gatherings shall be permitted with a maximum of 50 participants. Funeral/last related gatherings shall be permitted with a maximum of 20 participants.

Whether you're biking, running, playing pick-up sports or simply taking long walks after dinner, summer is a great time to enjoy many outdoor activities.
The heat of summer brings an increased risk for heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. So before you step outside, be sure you SWEAT first.
Sunscreen. To establish a habit, leave a bottle of water-resistant sunscreen near the front door, so when you head outside it's right there. Be sure to reapply every few hours if you intend to be in the sun for a while.
Water. Being hydrated is a great way to ensure you are ready to exercise in the heat. Dehydration can lead to heat exhaustion as well as impaired performance. Be sure to consume 8 fluid ounces every 15 minutes or so.
Ease into it. Exercising in the heat takes time to get acclimated. Take into consideration the temperature, humidity and time of day when training in the warmer months.
Attire. Be sure to dress appropriately. Light-colored and lightweight clothing are ideal, and if you can wear performance or dry-fit clothing, do so.
Tools. Tools for managing the heat include fuel, sunglasses and hats. Be sure to properly fuel your body before exercising to prevent dizziness and nausea. Sunglasses and hats are great additional protectors from the sun.
Stay safe as you exercise in the sun.

Q: How to replace favicon in Remix run from the default one to custom one? I am not able to figure out how to remove the default favicon and replace that with a custom favicon in Remix. In the web pages the default favicon is replaced but when I open a media file from my website in a different tab let's say an image or a PDF file that is hosted on my website, in that case, the default favicon of Remix appears.

You can see in the above screenshot. In normal web pages my custom favicon works fine. I have implemented it like this -
export function links() {
  return [
   {
     rel: 'apple-touch-icon',
     sizes: '180x180',
     href: '/favicon/apple-touch-icon.png',
   },
   {
     rel: 'icon',
     type: 'image/png',
     sizes: '32x32',
     href: '/favicon/favicon-32x32.png',
   },
   {
     rel: 'icon',
     type: 'image/png',
     sizes: '16x16',
     href: '/favicon/favicon-16x16.png',
   },
   {
     rel: 'icon',
     type: 'image/x-icon',
     href: '/favicon/favicon.ico',
   },
   { rel: 'manifest', href: '/favicon/site.webmanifest' },
   {
    rel: 'mask-icon',
    href: '/favicon/safari-pinned-tab.svg',
    color: '#5bbad5',
   },
 ]
}

But the same doesn't work in the case of hosted media files. Any help would be appreciated, thanks :)

A: Since a web page can include the <link> tag for favicons, the browser will display it correctly. However, for direct links to resources like images or PDF, there is no way to specify the favicon, so the browser will request the /favicon.ico file. This is located in the /public folder.
Replace this file with the correct icon. If you're still seeing the old icon, then you'll need to purge your cache. By default, files in /public are cached for 1 hour.

Part 5: Introducing FRED
Thursday, March 01, 2018 12:30 AM | Front & Finish (Administrator)
Written by Michael Pumilia
I have discussed a human's scent in Part 3 and the dog's nose in Part 4. That's two parts of this scenario that makes up this sport called Tracking. The next part is the tracklayer. That is who the dog is meant to follow. You as the handler get to follow the dog. That's right, you plod behind the dog. I introduced FRED, the "Fairly Reliable Emission Device", in Part 3. Now I'm going to explain how Fred creates the track in detail.
Fred represents the typical person and is surrounded by his molecules of scent flakes. The shape of the distribution is a bell curve. You might remember from your schooling "being graded on the curve". Figure 1 shows this curve. We are viewing the skin flakes that the tracklayer has shedded in a instant of time. This is just a snapshot of what is going on. To better understand how a track is created, I'm going to use the curve in a different manner.
Figure 1. Typical Scent Distribution of a Person
The snapshot of Fred in Figure 2 is changed so that we see the intensity of the scent as it decreases by the distance from the centerline of where he is standing. This particular view assumes the wind is not blowing. The centerline is at zero feet on the horizontal axis. The distance shown is theoretical as is the intensity; I'm showing what Fred's scent would do. Each person on a given day may have a different strength of odor. The intensity depends on what makes up the scent that day. A person could have freshly showered or applied cologne, deodorant or used a cleaning product in the kitchen prior to leaving. There are many variables. The distance each odorant travels from the centerline depends on its volatility. Your skin flakes are different than liquid bleach which is different than ammonia. Each of these travels at a different speed. Also the wind speed affects how far the scents will travel. Even the pace that Fred uses to travel across the field affects the spread of his scent. So we have two ways to consider Fred's bell curve of scent distribution and its effect on the dog.
Figure 2. Scent Intensity v.s. Distribution from a Centerline
The vertical axis is the Intensity of the scent. I've divided the area under the curve to highlight certain aspects related to various dogs. Figure 3 shows a variety of dogs and where they fall on the bell curve. A Good Tracking Dog needs a high amount of scent intensity in order for it to locate and follow a particular track. When the scent level falls below this intensity, the dog will "lose" the track. The Better Tracking Dog is one with more experience for tracking or could have a better nose than the Good Tracking Dog under consideration. It can follow a given track further than the Good Dog or a track that is older. The Best Tracking Dog requires very little scent in order to find the odorant and follow it. This track could be much older than any other tracks that the Better Dog could follow, even days older. For each type of dog, you see that the track spreads out based on intensity of scent. The lower the amount of scent is, the wider it is found on the ground. In the figure, we are in a no-wind situation so the scent is evenly spread around Fred. See figure 4.
Scent intensity decreases as time passes. The lighter-than-air scent molecules will have blown away after about 30 minutes. The intensity will be so low that only extremely talented dogs would be able to find them. See figure 5.
The skin flakes are heavier than air so they fall around the human as shown in these figures which are no wind conditions. Fred represents the average human. The scent distribution bell curve does change for certain situations. For example, the average tracklayer is not wearing a heavy jacket, waterproof boots, gloves and hat, and cold weather pants or coveralls. You probably recognize this as a Winter scene. This bell curve then would be thinner and not as tall because so much off the odorants would not escape the garments. A Summer day means short sleeve shirts and shorts and perhaps light weight sneakers. So plenty of skin flakes would be spread around and a sweaty condition would mean heavier flakes due to perspiration. The bell curve would be huge with greater intensity and greater spread of the molecules around Fred.
Figure 3. Scent Intensity Identifies Different Types of Tracking Dogs
Figure 4. Scent Disribution in a No-Wind Situation
Figure 5. Approximate Result as Time Goes By
There is a second way to look at the scent distribution. Instead of using the y-axis (scent intensity), I'll use the x-axis which is distribution from the center of Fred. As Fred moves forward in this no-wind condition, his scent distribution will move forward with him. There is very little wind disturbance of the skin flakes leaving Fred, no upwind or downwind effect. See figure 6. There are eddy wakes of scent molecules created by Fred's pace.
Figure 6. Fred's Scent Molecules Create a Wake in a No Wind Condition
In any snapshot of time, the scent distribution bell curve seen in figure 2 can be pictured along the path that Fred walks. Remember that he is the tracklayer. This is how the track is built figuratively to the dog's nose. See figure 7.
Figure 7. Scent Distribution Along the Track with No Wind
The width of the track is determined by the experience of each type of tracking dog shown in figure 3. Figure 8 shows how you should consider the track in your mind. For any given dog they usually follow the track in one of two ways – straight line or weaving. A dog that is considered a straight line tracker means it tends to follow right down the centerline of the scent path. Notice I didn't say centerline of the track. In a no wind situation the two centerlines (track and scent path) fall on each other. If there is a wind, the scent path is not necessarily centered on the track. The track is where the tracklayer walked, the scent path is where his scent landed.
I have a wonderful example to explain this. The late Dr. Arnold Korn had one of his Dachshunds entered in a tracking test I was judging in Memphis, TN. The site was a sod farm where the grass was perfect and cut to 1/8th of an inch. It was like a billiard table. Arnold had the first track in the morning. The weather was cloudy, the ground was damp and there was a slight wind. The first leg of the track turned out to be straight into the wind. So the dog was moving straight along where the tracklayer walked. The second leg turned 90 degrees to the right. The dog took the turn about 2 feet before the track turned. The other judge and I got into position so we could see the length of the leg. There before us we could see Dr. Korn's footstep's to the left of the tracklayer's and 2 feet to the right of the tracklayer's were the dog's steps.
Figure 8. Scent Distribution Along a Track
We saw three perfectly parallel lines of steps in the dew. At the turn, the track went left. All three lines merged into one as the track went into the wind.
A dog that weaves along a track is one that moves from side to side as it follows along the track. Sometimes the dog will go to the edge of where it loses the scent and then turn back towards the centerline. In figure 8, the better tracking dog would go from one green line then across the black centerline to the other green line, all while moving forward. Or it could be a dog that favors a certain amount of scent intensity to be its imaginary edge, meaning it would not go all the way to the minimum scent strength shown by the green lines. This dog' weaving path would be narrower than the dog that goes all the way from the minimum to minimum.
A weaving dog runs a greater risk to miss a corner than does the straight tracking dog. The problem is where the weaver is located when the turn comes up and whether it's a uphill or down hill track and how much of a cross wind is involved. I'll talk more about this when I'm discussing "turns" training.

Startup Weekend Jackson: Building a Business in 54 Hours
From March 1-3, 2019, about 50 people took part in TechStar's Startup Weekend Jackson, an intensive business accelerator program that Innovate Mississippi locally organized at Coalesce Coworking in downtown Jackson. The title sponsor of the event was the Mississippi Development Authority.
Bruce Deer gave the opening keynote
The program began with a welcome and opening keynote (this year by Bruce Deer, entrepreneur-in-residence for Innovate Mississippi), and then participants were encouraged to pitch a business idea to the entire group. Six of the business pitches were voted on by the group, which then split into teams that started working on those ideas.
For the rest of Friday and most of Saturday and Sunday, the teams brainstormed their business ideas, interacted with potential customers to test the ideas, worked on a "lean business canvas" to see if the idea was marketable and can make money, and then they worked on a prototype.
At 5 p.m. on Sunday, they pitched their final business idea to the group and a panel of judges, who offer feedback and award prizes.
Grant Carlile, the South Bend, Ind.-based TechStars facilitator for this year's Startup Weekend Jackson, told the story of one of the teams that started with one idea and, over the weekend, made a significant "pivot" based on research and feedback.
Grant Carlile from TechStars facilitated Startup Weekend Jackson 2019.
"One team was trying to provide incentives for people to break habits. It started as a model for defining what your bad habits are and trying to break them while listing out the good ones you want to form," he said, describing their preliminary idea for a web app. "You would 'input' that habit you want break and the dollar amount assigned to a charity and, if you don't change the habit, then that money goes to the charity."
He called it a "cool concept," but after researching the idea, the team found that it had competition that was already doing a good job. After talking to a manager at Planet Fitness, they altered their idea—the manager said that Planet Fitness has a big problem with people missing appointments with their personal trainer. So, the company focused on a solution that gym managers could implement to encourage people to make their personal trainer appointments and get money off their membership as a result.
"This year we saw teams do a good job of absorbing the feedback from the mentors and from market research activities, and then settle on something and figure out how to present it to judges," said Tasha Bibb, director of entrepreneurial development for Innovate Mississippi. "Their activities over the weekend made me feel like they got the value of the event."
Carlile points out that, nationally, only about 12 percent of Startup Weekend "companies" move past the weekend and continue working on their product or service.
"What you're really getting is practice with the tenets of entrepreneurship. You pitch your idea on Friday; share ideas and listen to ideas from your team; then teams share skills and ideas," Carlile said. "Ultimately, you walk away with this new network. You have a handful of people you know well, and you've had meals with 30-50 people you can re-reference.
"There are tens of thousands of people who have done a Startup Weekend, and once you've done one you're part of that alumni network."
When asked about Jackson's Startup Weekend in particular, Carlile said that the long-term participation of Innovate Mississippi was perhaps one of the biggest standouts compared to Startup Weekend events around the country.
"It's super rare to have a 'Tasha'," Carlile said, referring to the experience that Bibb brings to these events. "The fact that these events have been ongoing for 15 Startup Weekends; that the lead organization is Innovate Mississippi; that the lead organizer is Tasha—is special. The average organizer lasts three to four years; an organization for maybe five to 10 years."

Judges and Winners
For Startup Weekend Jackson 2019, the teams were judged by a panel that included:
Richard Sun, co-founder of the Mississippi Coding Academies, director of the Jackson location and a former entrepreneur-in-residence with Innovate Mississippi
Kristin Ley, founder and CEO of ThimblePress in Jackson
Charles "Bubba" Weir, managing principal of Innovative Ventures of Mississippi
Hartman Holiman, director of the IT Project Management office at UMMC
Nashlie Sephus, software development manager at Amazon and founder of TheBeanPath.org
Ivan Walker, software development engineer at Amazon A9.com
The winning teams were:
Third Place: LifeVault
Third place: LifeVault presented an app for cloud storage of legal documents, so that a user could securely upload and access everything in one location.
Second Place: Trendy Tots
Second place: Trendy Tots is a fashion line for Big and Tall toddlers, offering clothing for toddlers that are larger for their age than typical. These children aren't generally provided for in standard clothing lines.
First Place: M2 World
First place: M2 World presented an app designed to connect international students on a college campus, so that more experienced international students could help and mentor incoming freshmen, while creating a digital network for mutual support.

Custom built for tree crops. Broad acre just won't cut it.
We have been early users of GrowData and have been utilising this program across 5 orchards for over 10 years. The value for money is excellent and it provides us with detailed and accurate time management and cost reporting functions. The spray diary is in depth and compliant with all our audit requirements, including export.
We have not been able to find another program that is anywhere near comparable to GrowData which is a comprehensive and complete Orchard Management System.
Well done Brian and team on a smart and user friendly product.
Create spray and fertiliser jobs from your office or on a mobile device in the field. Spray instruction sheets tell employees exactly what chemicals and quantities go into a tank mic as well as the blocks to be sprayed and the calibrated spray volume. You can also create your own list of activities and the program will trace labour, machinery & material costs back to block and variety with the press of a button. We can even include overhead costs so that you can know you cost of production per hectare on each block and variety as well as your nett profit per crop, variety and block.
Food safety compliance is a critical part of running a successful orchard and the ability to enter information and then retrieve it in report formats demanded by your customers and auditors is essential. GrowData has developed specialised reports to meet the demanding standards of international Q.A. programs such as GlobalG.A.P. GrowData will automatically adjust you chemical and fertiliser inventory so that you know exactly what you have in stock and when you need re order. You can even forward plan your folia and fertiliser programs and know month by month what your purchases will be and your monthly expenditure.
Create and email orders to your suppliers and GrowData will auto update prices when the stock is received. You can also record your machinery calibrations and maintenance schedules and service expenditures. You can also keep records on individual employees to track when training has been given or when safety or conduct codes have been breached.
Our orchard program has been built specifically for all tree crops. Generic software which claims to be all things to all agricultural endeavours will always be a compromise. We have been developing our Orchard Management program for 15 years and we know what orchardists need to make record keeping easier and to enhance profitability in their business.
So simple to use! It will calculate total quantity of chemicals, the number of tanks required and will print a detailed instruction sheet.
GrowData software was developed with compliance in mind and meets all international Quality Assurance requirements, including GLOBAL G.A.P.
All labour, materials and machinery costs are automatically tracked back to crop, variety and block/patch.
This is a critical area of risk management for all horticultural businesses and is usually a significant cost input as well. GrowData manages it brilliantly.
You can track the volume of water you apply down to block/patch level as well as costs including water purchase and pumping costs.
GrowData has over 80 reports available, but we understand that one size does not fit all so we are happy to build a report to meet your particular needs.
Being cloud based opens a whole new world of flexibility. Security and reliability are critical which is why we use Telstra, Australia's largest Telco.
A modestly priced fully integrated packing program which allows for seamless traceability from block to end user.
Software which claims it can handle all types of crop will not manage any of them very well.

NRA: 'Only Thing That Stops A Bad Guy With A Gun Is A Good Guy With A Gun' 3:11
Peter Overby
The normally strident National Rifle Association remained largely silent for nearly a week after the Newtown shootings. That ended on Friday, with a news conference that the group promised would unveil ideas to make sure such a thing would not happen again.
MELISSA BLOCK, HOST:
Today also brought the first detailed response to the Newtown shootings from the nation's largest gun rights group, the National Rifle Association. At a media event here in Washington, the group's CEO took a defiant stance and took no questions. NRA leaders had promised meaningful contributions on how to prevent more mass killings. As NPR's Peter Overby reports, they recommended more, not fewer, guns.
PETER OVERBY, BYLINE: NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre skipped the constitutional arguments for the Second Amendment. He was much more direct.
(SOUNDBITE OF NRA PRESS CONFERENCE)
WAYNE LAPIERRE: The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun.
OVERBY: He said the NRA wants a federal law immediately...
LAPIERRE: ...to appropriate whatever is necessary, to put armed police officers in every single school in this nation.
OVERBY: And the NRA rolled out its own, new program that would train retired police, military and others as voluntary school security officers. At the same time, LaPierre seemed to dismiss President Obama's new task force on school safet, and Capitol Hill discussions of new limits for guns and gun buyers. He said such legislation won't work. Banks, sport stadiums and politicians all get security guards, he said, but the tradition of unarmed schools leaves children vulnerable to genuine monsters.
LAPIERRE: Does anybody really believe that a next Adam Lanza isn't planning his attack on a school he's already identified, at this very moment?
OVERBY: And he said more ought to be done to thwart these monsters.
LAPIERRE: How can we possibly even guess how many, given our nation's refusal to create an active, national database of the mentally ill?
OVERBY: Twice, protesters interrupted LaPierre.
UNIDENTIFIED PROTESTER: The NRA has blood on its hands! Shame on the NRA! Ban assault weapons now!
OVERBY: He didn't respond, and guards evicted them. LaPierre portrayed the NRA as a truth seeker; as the media and others turn a blind eye to the rampant violence in movies, computer games and music videos.
LAPIERRE: Is the press, and the political class here in Washington, D.C., so consumed by fear and hatred of the NRA and American gun owners that you're willing to accept a world where real resistance to evil monsters is a lone, unarmed school principal?
OVERBY: Response from congressional Democrats came quickly. California Senator Dianne Feinstein plans to introduce a new ban on assault weapons. She said the NRA is engaged in delaying tactics.
SEN, DIANNE FEINSTEIN: It's a distraction from the availability of military-style assault weapons on our streets, in our schools, used at malls, used at workplaces, used in movie theaters.
OVERBY: NRA officials say they'll answer questions about their school security program starting next week.
Peter Overby, NPR News, Washington.

Lamentably, unexpected occasions may come to pass that toss a torque into the best-laid plans. Unforeseen troubles can happen before you travel, for example, a family crisis or sudden disease. Different circumstances can incorporate dropped flights, lost baggage, and even restorative crises or wounds that occur while you are on your excursion. Wipe out the stress from your forthcoming get-away by acquiring make a trip protection to plan for the unforeseen.
Holding back on movement protection for lost things can result in hundreds to thousands of dollars spent on substitution things (counting new baggage) and in addition the loss of important time required for looking for required things.
Regardless of whether you have a family crisis, turn out to be sick and need crisis medical procedure, or there is a psychological militant occurrence in your goal city and you never again need to go, occasions that are out of your control may imply that you need to drop your trek. Without movement protection, trip abrogations can result in the loss of trade you contributed out carrier reservations, goal stores, travels, and that's just the beginning.
Another motivation to consider travel protection is for flight scratch-offs and missed associations. Envision a situation where a couple is flying from Colorado to New York. Their agenda makes them touch base with a few hours to save before their extravagance voyage withdraws the following morning for the Mediterranean. Shockingly, Denver is hit with a beast snowstorm dropping all flights for 24 hours which implies they will miss their voyage. Travel protection will hop in to repay them so they can plan another journey with their outing consultant.
An extravagance excursion is costly, particularly on the off chance that it is a rare outing that you have for the longest time been itching to take. When you contrast the expense of protection and the expense of the trek, travel protection is unquestionably justified regardless of the speculation.
A therapeutic crisis can happen whenever amid your excursion, regardless of whether on account of damage other medicinal condition. While your present medical coverage will probably cover disease inside the United States, many have avoidances for remote travel and notwithstanding for travels flying under a non-U.S. signal.
Genuine restorative conditions may require crisis helicopter or fly clearing back to the states. This kind of restorative protection is imperative for any trek yet is basic when making a trip to an immature nation where it can mean the distinction between life and demise. Medicinal travel protection additionally covers issues, for example, lost prescriptions and treatment for more minor afflictions.
The sudden loss of critical travel papers or charge cards can put a genuine damper on your get-away. Luckily, crisis money is accessible through movement protection while you make plans with your bank and charge card holders to cure the issue. International ID and Mastercard inclusion repays you for unapproved Mastercard buys, and also card and identification substitution expenses. Your inclusion even incorporates help with the crisis exchange of assets from home, family or companions.
The sum and kind of movement protection you acquire is an awesome point to examine with your movement counsellor. She will recognize what the best protection alternatives are for your specific voyage. Single-word of alert: prepared explorers and travel offices alike don't suggest obtaining protection straightforwardly from a carrier or voyage line as their protection items will unavoidably incorporate dialect that favours them when there is an issue. Protection got autonomously from a carrier or voyage is the best alternative for your moving needs.


Leadership ethics speaks to the reflection of your character, morals, & integrity to the world – from the inside out. There is a ton of chatter lately about not only integrating sound ethical practice into your leadership, but also defining what actually makes up a base standard to live by. Vulnerability has become THE buzz word of the leadership development landscape, but is rarely translated into practice.
May I propose that any ethical framework is actually ineffective…unless it comes from within the leader & is reflected through vulnerability. This is a topic I have spoken much about, see some of my posts here. Vulnerability is not just transparency and authenticity. It is the ultimate act of differentiation however, because it is the act of 'being seen' by others as your true self. If you are going through the motions of ethics, but it's really not coming from within – then you are only modifying behavior & that doesn't last long. In reality are you are doing is making your ethics irrelevant.
You cannot give what you don't possess.
Early in my leadership roles I learned the hard way that trying to 'act according to the role' is nothing but a formula for disaster. You must be who you are, and bring that forward each day, regardless of your leadership context. That strength of character from within, then translates into practical ethics that are applied second nature in tandem with your daily roles. You are then empowered to weather critique, expectations of others, and the par for the course challenges of being the leader.
In order to do this, I suggest that the risk, & courage required to be vulnerable are equally necessary in order to have a complete leadership ethic. This is especially needed today! If the leaders outside does not match their inside…their leadership influence will be stunted, toxic, and at best ineffective. Whether we like it or not, we treat leaders with a different standard than we do their employees or reports.
The consequences to the leader for their vulnerability always cost them more than intended.
1. What has my vulnerability cost me in my business, leadership, relationships? Both positive and negative?
2. How do my ethics reflect who I am? Am I the same person professionally as I am personally?
3. When I consider the integration of ethics and vulnerability, I think ________?
Please contact me today to deepen the impact you make as a leader, and develop a more effective leadership ethic that is authentic and vulnerable.

Pittsburg/Bay Point is een metrostation in de Amerikaanse stad Pittsburg (Californië) aan de Pittsburg/Bay Point-SFO/Millbrae Line van het BART netwerk. Het station is het oostelijke eindpunt van de lijn en de metro's maken 900 meter ten oosten van het station kop voor de terugweg. In 2004 stemden de kiezers van Contra Costa County voor verlenging van de lijn in oostelijke richting, de directie van BART keurde de uitgewerkte plannen (eBART) goed in 2009. Hierin werd de metro niet echt doorgetrokken maar ruim 16 kilometer normaalspoor aangelegd. De bouw begon in 2011 en in 2018 werd de pendeldienst geopend met dieseltreinstellen. Op het punt waar de metro's kopmaken is een perron voor overstappers gebouwd dat geen eigen in en uitgangen heeft. De metro rijdt sindsdien met reizigers tussen dit perron en Pittsburg/Bay Point, terwijl de dieseltreinstellen aan de andere kant van het perron aankomen en vertrekken.

PFF favorites in the 2020 NFL Draft
Nov 2, 2019; Seattle, WA, USA; Utah Utes running back Zack Moss (2) carries the ball as Washington Huskies defensive back Myles Bryant (left) and defensive back Cameron Williams (right) defend during the fourth quarter at Husky Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jennifer Buchanan-USA TODAY Sports
Pundits love to remind you that there are no sure things in the NFL draft. That doesn't, however, mean that every prospect presents the same level of risk. At PFF, we firmly believe that producing at a high level in college is one of the best predictors of success in the NFL. It at least gives you a high-floor starting point as a prospect.
Now, anyone can tell you that Joe Burrow or Chase Young is legit and graded out absurdly well for us here at PFF. These are the 10 prospects who are a tier or two below that, but have graded out in such an elite manner that we feel great about how they'll project to the NFL.
CB Kristian Fulton, LSU
© Derick E Hingle-USA TODAY Sports
Fulton has one of the most impressive grading profiles we've ever seen from an SEC cornerback. The biggest thing with Fulton has been the consistency. The redshirt junior has back-to-back seasons of elite grades and elite grades in conference play as well. He outgraded Greedy Williams in 2018 with an 89.7 coverage grade and followed that up with an 88.9 coverage grade this year. For his career in SEC play, Fulton's earned a 92.8 coverage grade and allowed a completion percentage of only 41.3 against. Those are some damn good numbers to put up when looking ahead to the NFL.
DT Jordan Elliott, Missouri
It may surprise you to find out that it was Elliott and not Auburn's Derrick Brown who was the highest-graded defensive tackle in all of college football last season. Elliott earned a 92.4 overall grade this season with a 91.1 in both run defense and as a pass-rusher. For some context, Brown earned a 90.8 overall grade this season while former SEC defensive tackles Quinnen Williams and Jeffery Simmons earned grades of 96.0 and 92.8, respectively, last season. That's some nice company to keep for a guy with little to no first-round buzz at the moment.
OT Josh Jones, Houston
There are two boxes we love to see ticked from an offensive line prospect. The first, quite obviously, is pass protection proficiency. If you can't block up college defensive linemen, it ain't going to get easier in the NFL. The second is continued improvement over the course of a career. Offensive line is such a technical position that if someone isn't putting in the work to refine their craft, they won't last long in the league. No one comes to the NFL a finished product, and so to see a guy make improvements over the years is necessary. Jones ticks both those boxes with flying colors. He allowed all of four pressures on 325 pass-blocking snaps this past season and saw his pass-blocking grade improve every single year of his career. His most notable leap came from junior to senior year, where his overall grade jumped from 71.9 to 93.2.
OG Netane Muti, Fresno State
Muti has been tossing college defensive lineman around since the first day he stepped on a college football field back in 2017. That year, he allowed only 11 pressures and earned an 80.4 overall grade. Injuries have limited him to only 318 snaps since between left tackle and left guard, but on those he's allowed only three pressures. Back in that 2017 season though, Muti ranked third among all guards in the nation with seven big-time run blocks. His highlight tape is reminiscent of former top-10 pick Quenton Nelson in its utter physical dominance.
TE Hunter Bryant, Washington
© Jennifer Buchanan-USA TODAY Sports
When Bryant has been on the football field for the Huskies, he's produced at an elite level — it's the whole "on the football field" part that was a struggle for Bryant his first couple seasons for the Huskies. He was stuck behind Drew Sample as a freshman/sophomore and missed much of 2018 with an offseason knee surgery. Because of that, he only saw 338 snaps over those two seasons, but still managed 569 yards on them. Fully healthy in 2019, Bryant broke out in a big way with 52 catches for 825 yards. Over his three-year career, Bryant has averaged 2.74 yards per route. For comparison, only FAU's Harrison Bryant averaged more than that among full-time tight ends this past season. The Washington tight end is a bit of a tweener size-wise, but his movement skills are closer to a receiver than a tight end.
S Xavier McKinney, Alabama
On 1,848 snaps in three seasons at Alabama, McKinney has proven that there's not much on the football field he can't do. He's earned grades of 84.7 in run defense, 90.9 as a pass-rusher, and 91.2 in coverage for his career. The true junior is as well-rounded a safety as exists in this draft class and has only been getting better. He's not only graded out exceptionally well in both seasons as a starter, but McKinney has actually improved his grade in every facet from 2018 to 2019.
Edge Curtis Weaver, Boise State
If Chase Young didn't exist, we'd talk a lot more about how dominant Weaver has been. Even with his effectiveness being limited by playing through an ankle injury down the stretch this season, Weaver still finished his second consecutive season with a pass-rushing grade over 92.0. In all three of his seasons at Boise State, he's had double-digit sacks and 20-plus combined sacks and hits. That's elite production and consistency. While the level of competition is certainly a concern, we haven't seen other group-of-five rushers put up numbers close to this.
OL Calvin Throckmorton, Oregon
© Mark j Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports
We haven't quite seen an offensive lineman with the durability, versatility, and consistency quite like Throckmorton. The Oregon offensive lineman amassed 3,650 snaps in his career and took at least one at every single position along the offensive line. His main position though was right tackle, where he took 2,644 snaps and held up admirably in pass protection. He allowed only 18 pressures as a true freshman, then nine as a sophomore, 13 as a junior, and finally nine this past year as a senior. His best position is likely on the interior at the next level, which makes those numbers all the more encouraging.
WR Tee Higgins, Clemson
Even though he hasn't even averaged 100 yards a game in either this season or last season, Higgins has still graded out at an elite level for us. There are a few reasons for that. The first is that he rarely drops passes, with only six on over 120 catchable the past two seasons. The second is that he rarely plays in the second half for Clemson. Higgins actually finished sixth in the nation during the regular season averaging 3.59 yards per route. The final reason? Circus catches abound on Higgins highlight tape as he possesses some of the best ball skills in the country.
RB Zack Moss, Utah
We love running backs who can break tackles at the college level, as we've seen how well that translates to the NFL. Over the past three seasons, Moss has consistently been an elite tackle-breaking machine. His 204 broken tackles over that span are the second most in college football and his 0.37 broken tackles per attempt this past season is the third-best figure we've ever seen. Of his career 5.8 yards per carry average, 3.9 have come after contact. Those are all excellent figures for a running back prospect.


So you've built your website… YAYYY! You have your homepage, products or services, about page, blog and any other pages you need and it all looks bomb digs! Whoop! Whoop! But have you taken a second to evaluate whether or not your site flows properly and allows for easy navigation? This is your website's user experience and it is just as important as making your site look amazing! Not to worry though, we're walking you through some of the easiest adjustments to make to improve your site's user experience so your site not only looks amazing but also provides a great experience for your users.
But first things first, why is this important to your site?
Alright now let's get into the nitty gritty -- Let's improve that UX design!
Take a peek at your navigation. What do you have in it? If you have a ton of links in your navigation this can be completely overwhelming for your user! An easy way to clean this up is to either combine some into a dropdown menu or to move them into your secondary navigation in the footer.
We suggest having no more than 7 main links in your navigation (excluding a customer login or shopping cart link). This will keep things concise allowing you to highlight the main points of your website with all your other information in dropdowns or the footer.
Another point when it comes to your navigation is to rename and/or reorder your navigation. Make sure your navigation titles are clear and to the point. If you have an online shop, title it Shop instead of something like Catalog or Lookbook so users know they can buy directly from your website. It can be tempting to get creative to add a little personality but just make sure they clearly define what that page is about if you do!
Also keep in mind that we naturally read from left to right so make sure the most important pieces of your website are listed first in your navigation. This is why most website navigations are in the order of Home, About, Services/Shop, Blog, Contact. This is because most new users will come to your website and want to learn more about you then your services and then contact you. However, really take some time to think through how your ideal client would flow through your website since every industry is different. This may affect how you decide to order your navigation.
You want to keep your most important information on each page above the folder. Above the folder means the part of your page that your users see before they begin to scroll. This will give your users a quick view of what they can expect from that page ultimately help keep them on that page to explore longer.
This is where your web design meets UX design though. You don't want to load the top of the page with so much information that you overwhelm your user either. Consider if there is a way to rearrange your content to provide the important information upfront in an aesthetically pleasing way. Finding a balance can be tricky but this will ultimately help improve your UX while still keeping your site beautifully designed!
Take a look at each page on your website and see where it makes sense to add some CTAs so you can help direct your users around your website and ultimately land a sale or inquiry!
We suggest evaluating the main pages you'd like your users to visit and then create graphics for the homepage to direct users to those pages. This can be graphics for a homepage slideshow and/or various buttons. Consider your various services or product categories and how you can direct users to these pages. You may also have seasonal or holiday specific promotions you'd like to offer meaning you can swap these graphics out when applicable!
Now that you have everything else all set, you might want to consider implementing additional features to make it easy for users to find what they are looking for or similar content. This can be as simple as implementing a search bar and displaying it in a prominent area so users can easily search your entire site and/or blog.
Other options would be to add category buttons. This makes the most sense for your blog and/or your shop. You want to make sure your blog posts or products are first categorized appropriately. Then create your category buttons (custom graphics or simple buttons through Squarespace) to add to your blog sidebar or on your shop. This will make it seriously easy for users to click on that necklace category button to see all the necklaces you sell increasing your chances to sell even more (Score!).
Similarly, you can use the summary block on Squarespace to add related blog posts to the bottom of each of your blog posts. This will show your user related posts they may be interested in helping them get more of the information they are already interested in.
As you can tell any steps you take to make it easier for your website visitors to navigate your website so they can find the information they are looking for is essential for improving their user experience. Take your time going through your website page by page evaluating where you can implement some of the tips above. This way you can have a beautifully designed website with a great UX design as well!

From a new family (relatively speaking) to Chablis, the estate belongs to Marie-Noëlle & Laurent Ternynck. The old vines Chablis saw 12 months in foudres, on the lees, with fruit gathered from vineyards in Fleys. The cool spot comes with a higher altitude, on a windswept plateau and so harvest is generally five to six days later. And so their Chablis is cool, direct, taut and sapid stuff, as Chablis will go, from such a climat and handled so. Acidity runs rampant and travels quickly up and down and into parts of the mouth that stand up to take notice. Sharp and focused Chablis.

Like yesterday, a little too tired to write a "real" post, but we're done with our entry !
So it's called Goblin Crown Fever and it's about goblins, ghosts, greed and time.
ZzzZZzz time… tweaking tomorrow… right, team ?
So, here we are for the Jam for now (the next post will be animated, we swear on the Goblin King head)!
We successfully save the player movement and shots and the ghosts replicate them. They are blue, like blue blue, but it works!
We have music, most animations, a lot of placeholders and most of the game flow/logic/loop.
Gameplay tweaks, more sprites and sound effects: here we come!
And once again, Haxe for Flash target only and code will be on Github.
Because why the frak not.
So basically it's a rip off of Z, from The Bitmap Brothers (1996), but on rails.
You "control" an army of robots that are too stupid to be controlled directly. So you have a set of waypoints when you give them direction orders. You win when you reach the enemy fort waypoint.
That's pretty much it. It's ugly but functional.
Source code is there, on github.
Cya late august for the next LD !


Next-level sports luxe from Young British Designer Lily Rice.
Brains and beauty - that's Lily.
She rose to fame on the BBC TV show 'Be Your Own Boss' and has since been taken under the delightfully-protective-and-ever-encouraging wing of Young British Designers.
Lily describes her sport luxe alter-ego Lexie as 'fashion forward and aesthetically led' - meaning that, for girls like you and me, shopping for sportswear is no longer just a necessity.
Lily's molten-metallic flashes and sheer panelling are feminine touches rarely seen in the sports-world - at least the shell suit one that I emerged into in the 80s.
Lily has also priced her pieces at a very accessible level.
Flash forward to 2016's summer Olympics and this chick will be spotted designing sportswear for world athletics, running, gymnastics, ice skating and tobogganing teams - to name but a few.
Thank you to Lexie for letting me try your pieces - I'll be hitting the streets in these bad boys soon, as I start training for Nike UK's We Own The Night 10K run.

Dodgers ace Kershaw throw simulated game, nears return
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw jokes around in the dugout prior to a baseball game against the San Diego Padres, Friday, May 25, 2018, in Los Angeles.Mark J. Terrill / AP
By Jill Painter Lopez
PMN Baseball
LOS ANGELES — Clayton Kershaw is one step closer to a return with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Kershaw pitched a four-inning simulated game Saturday, raising the possibility that he could be back in their rotation next week.
The three-time NL Cy Young Award winner has been on the disabled list nearly a month with left biceps tendinitis.
Asked if he should be able to go in five days, Kershaw said: "Yeah, I should be."
Kershaw got up and down, mirroring game conditions, and pitched to Cody Bellinger, Chase Utley, Austin Barnes and Enrique Hernandez.
Kershaw is 1-4 with a 2.86 ERA this season.
It's not certain he'll pitch in five days, when the Dodgers play Philadelphia in the finale of a 10-game homestand.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who watched the workout with Andrew Friedman, the team's president of baseball operations, wants to see how Kershaw feels before determining when and where he will pitch next.
Roberts had not yet talked to Kershaw before speaking with reporters.
"That's really encouraging," Roberts said after learning Kershaw said he should be ready to be back in the rotation. "For us, we've still got to talk through some things and make sure the right situation is for Kersh. A lot of it depends on how he feels (Sunday) and how things play out. Having him pitch today, feeling good coming off the mound, a lot of positives."
Through this stint on the disabled list, Kershaw found himself examining his mechanics.
"You never should focus on mechanics when you're competing. That's what the in between is," Kershaw said. "I've never really been a mechanics guy. The past few weeks I've been working on it a little bit. It's probably the first time that I can remember that I really focused on it."
Kershaw declined to explain what motivated him to focus on mechanics.
The 30-year-old left-hander was positive about where he's at now.
"It's so hard to tell. Been working on little stuff here and there," Kershaw said. "You start focusing on getting hitters out and you stop thinking about your mechanics. Start worrying about trying to get people out. Hopefully muscle memory is ingrained in there. Felt a little bit better today."
Kershaw hadn't felt as positive following his previous bullpen, but he was encouraged Saturday.
"You can't simulate a big league game. All the things you do to prepare to pitch a big league game, you really don't know where you're at until you're in one," Kershaw said.
"You do all you can to prepare. Ultimately, the only way to figure out if you're ready or not is to face guys. I feel like I didn't lose a whole lot from where I was but worked on a lot these last few weeks to try to get better and try to get healthy."
The Dodgers, who were one win away from the World Series title last year, are below .500.
"Being on the DL is no fun. Thankful that it wasn't too incredibly long," Kershaw said. "Just to be able to get back out there. You don't feel a part of the team a whole lot when you're on the DL. It's good to be out there and hopefully help a little bit."

Howe Sound is a deep, steep-walled fjord on Canada's west coast. The primary sediment source is the glacially fed Squamish River. In the inner fjord, turbidity currents flow from the sandy Squamish River delta at the fjord head reaching as far as the Porteau Creek Sill 15 km to the south. The Squamish River delta produces turbidity currents that occur on a daily basis during the summer freshet which flow through very active submarine channels. Step-like structures called cyclic steps migrate upslope on the channel floor and have also been identified on the unchannelized seafloor 3.5 km away from the delta. Cyclic step migration occurs during turbidity current activity and has been linked to landslide and river flood events on the Squamish Delta.

I'm aware that there was a time where marketers were not widely trusted by artists. Perhaps those days are over now that there are increasingly more channels for artists to connect with their fans and many artists are taking up the art and science that is marketing and finding that at the end of the day, it's just about telling stories, listening for feedback, improving stories (adjusting the pitch), growing their community and influence through creating virtuous cycles.
I look at art as making connections. For me, marketing is just as much art as writing. So how did a marketing professional like me get into writing? Like all artists, I did not choose to be an artist. I was born this way. My closest friends were words and I was always playing with them as soon as I'd learned how to speak in my mother tongue, Turkish. I had to deny that I was a writer because it was not a socially acceptable profession. Things have come a long way and with the diligence, hard work and willingness of artists to connect directly with their audience, soon enough children will be encouraged to become artists. I feel that a long overdue change in values is happening where intelligence, generosity of artistic gift, and thoughtfulness will be rewarded.
Marketing is not what it used to be. Mass media is losing ground as audiences are consuming their entertainment and news from various different sources. This is an opportunity as well as a challenge. The opportunity is that advertising on social media is much cheaper than the traditional broadcast media and can be more effective if one spends enough time to understand the networks and the audience. The challenge lies in understanding the culture of different social media and offering marketing content that's going to be welcomed and not be labeled as disruptive spam, which no one has patience for anymore.
Most marketing ideas don't see the light of day. However, when they do, well then that's where the magic happens. Many campaigns flop. Failing, learning and trying again are the steps to success.
Running campaigns, doing promotions, involving the community and building mutually beneficial relationships are not the typical parts of the artists' journey, but it's something I'm trying this year. I've had 12 characters in my head for a long time and finally, shortly before the end of 2013 I decided they were going to come out of my head and onto the paper in 2014.
After approaching a boutique publisher and getting rejected, I decided to promote my own stories. I'm releasing the 12 characters as part of a 12 part short stories where each story is released on the 12th of each month in 2014. I was initially contemplating distributing copies of the self-published short stories (Kwik Kopy prints them for me) to 12 cafes and book shops, but logistics got in the way. Fortunately, from the start of the project, I had the support of Lovey Bite Café in Crows Nest. The owners were some of the first readers of the first story and offered their counter space.
A key concept of marketing is that there must be a goal to reach. The goal must be S.M.A.R.T. That is, specific, measurable, achievable, results-focused and time-bound. As a writer, what are my writing goals? Is it better to strive for a quantitative measure on words, or qualitative feedback from readers? These are some of the questions I consider as I continue to write my stories.
My stories are now available at Lovey Bites Café for a suggested donation of $4.35. The proceeds go towards supporting NeedHelpWriteNow.com, my website where I introduce local writers to my community - I'm looking to grow to 1212 subscribers by 12/12/2014. I was glad when the story of the 12 Seasons of Growth short story campaign got picked up by Mosman Daily newspaper and I got some mentions for Lovey Bite Café. I'm focused on getting readers to offer feedback on the 12 Seasons of Growth stories. As a result, the community is growing. However, I still have a long ways to go before I reach my quantitative goal.

10 of the best things to do in Venice during the Venice Film Festival
Party Life
By Isabella Matthews 14 August 2019
Discover our pick of the best attractions, activities and things to see and do in Venice when attending the Venice Film Festival on a luxury yacht charter.
Every year, the Venice Film Festival transforms the city into a hub of culture, theatre and art.
Add in a roster of Hollywood A-listers and celebrity guests, and it's all too easy to see why this thrilling event is the prime candidate for a glitzy event yacht charter.
Whether you want to enjoy the Venice Film Festival as part of a superyacht charter or you'd like a guide on how to attend the event like a VIP, we can help you get the most out of your time at the festival.
Read on to discover all the best things to see and do at the Venice Film Festival.
1. Sight-see in St Marks
The main hub of Venice is St Mark's Square, a cultural landmark which attracts thousands of visitors to the city.
To truly bask in the beauty of Venetian culture, enter the Basilica and gaze at its ornate domed ceiling and finery. From here, wander through to the Doge's Palace and take the secret tour to view the hedonistic lifestyle of the Doge of Venice.
Most tours will also allow guests to cross the infamous Bridge of Sighs, following in the footsteps of prisoners who were led across the bridge in the 1600's.
Afterward, brave the heights of the Basilica Capanale for an incredible panoramic view. Then, consider venturing to the Arsenale and the Jewish Quarter to see another side to Venice's varied past.

2. Sip a Coffee in Caffe Florian
In the heart of St Marks Square, Caffe Florian is a real gem of the city.
Believed to be the second oldest coffee house in the world, its prime location offers an unbeatable spot for people-watching and taking some time out between sightseeing.
The cafe's commanding interiors are equally as impressive as the views. Nodding to a Neo-Baroque decadence of 1700's Venice, the space is enlivened by gilded stucco, Renaissance artworks and ornate detailing.
Previous guests include Queen Elizabeth, Charlie Chaplin and Madame de Staël.
3. Enjoy an aperitivo in style
During the Venice Film Festival, be sure to take the time to indulge in an afternoon aperitivo.
Plenty of A-listers will be doing the same, and Harry's Bar will no doubt be a popular stop-off during the festival. Known as the birthplace of the peach-prosecco Bellini, Harry's Bar is one of the finest bars in the world.
Its rich history and elegant decor have proven so significant that the bar was declared a national landmark by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Affairs in 2001.
The bar's unassuming exterior is what makes it so exclusive. Only found by those who seek it, the gold sign glittering behind cast-iron windows and the glow of light from inside the legendary frosted glass doors merely allude to the wonders inside.
If Harry's Bar is looking busy, there are plenty of attractive alternatives on the cards. Take a seat on the terrace of Gritti Palace and watch the world go by, or opt for a touch of decadence at the bar of the Aman Hotel Venice.
4. Join the Hollywood elite at a premiere
Despite being one of the most popular and widely celebrated events in the film calendar, the Venice Film Festival is easily accessible to guests.
Live a night amongst the Hollywood elite in a dreamy location, experiencing some of cinema's finest creations this year.
Visitors can enjoy the most exciting cinema of the year in public screenings featured across the city from 9am until 10pm throughout the festival.
There are various packages available to gain access to invitation-only events, for example, the gala dinner.
Attending a premiere is a wonderful opportunity to blend in amongst the starlets.
5. Explore forgotten treasures by island hopping
Surrounding Venice there are many delightful small islands perfect to visit on a private yacht charter. Two that should not be missed are Burano and Murano.
Murano is a small island and predominantly has one strip for visitors to see. With coffee and gift shops galore, be sure to bask in its chic understated beauty. Incredibly peaceful, it is easy to feel as if no one else is on the island at all. Slow down and escape from the bustle of Venice for a few hours.
Burano, on the other hand, has a livelier atmosphere. The streets are lined with uniquely colourful houses and are certainly a sight to be seen.
Those on a superyacht charter can enjoy pottering in the lace shops or exploring hand-blown glass studios. Afterward, be sure to sample some delectable Venetian pizza and take a saunter through the colourful maze of buildings in the town.
6. Brunch in style at Restaurant Terrazza Danieli
Nestled on the top floor of Hotel Danieli is the stunning Restaurant Terrazza Danieli.
A hotspot with the stars, the breakfast terrace overlooks the Serenissima (a panoramic view from the Grand Canal to Saint Marks basin) creating an all-encompassing, breathtaking vista across Venice.
The interior is equally as luxurious, adorned in red velvet and wooden panels in an ode to the Venetian Doge, lending the space a warm and inviting ambience.
Outside, the decor allows the views to be the main attraction, with cast iron chairs adorned with simple red roses creating a romantic and intimate setting.
The popular brunch spot offers an extensive selection for guests paired with bottomless sparkling wine.
7. Relax in the romance of a gondola from St Marks Square
No guide to Venice is complete without an iconic gondola ride. Gondola's from St Marks Square are a must for an awe-inspiring excursion.
Cruise along the iconic streets of Venice looking out over the Basilica, or enjoy a relaxing insight into Venetian life by exploring Venice's residential streets.
The ambience is as romantic as it is relaxing. Complete with a singing gondolier, the trip is unforgettable.
If timed correctly you can catch the sun as it sets behind the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute on the return trip via the Bridge of Sighs.
8. A night of glamour at the opera
Founded in 1792, the stunning opera house saw the debuts of operas from a host of world-renowned composers including Guiseppe Verdi and Britten.
Architecturally impressive, the theatre has a unique style containing multiple boxes rather than the traditional amphitheater layout. As a result, each guest has an entirely unique experience and connection with the performance in privacy.
Unlike any other opera house, the walls are adorned in ornate golden design complementing the divine sky-blue ceiling embellished with delicate paintings.
The theatres in house operas are breathtaking, often classical in an ode to the masquerade history.
La Teatro Fenice provides the ultimate evening of sophistication and elegance with its world-class opera and concerts. Even to simply marvel at its beauty, anyone in Venice should visit here to take a look.
9. Indulge in fine dining at the legendary Loconda Cipriani
Residing in the neighbouring island Torcello is the famous Locanda Cipriani. Still under Cipriani ownership, the iconic inn provides delectable cuisine and is a cultural and relic of Venice.
Surrounded in old tales and legends (many of which have proven true) Locanda Cipriani is a quintessential part of a Venice getaway, particularly during the Venice Film Festival where it can only be assumed a host of famous guests will dine.
Previous guests include writers (Ernest Hemingway stayed for a month in 1948), actors such as Al Pacino and Lizza Minelli and singers like Bette Davis and Mick Jagger. One famous table seated Elton John, Hugh Grant and Liz Hurley!
Torcello itself deserves to be explored, and with a population of less than 100, it has preserved much of its Old World beauty and rustic charm.
10. Dine under the stars along the Grand Canal
A more casual experience compared to the luxury offered in Venice, take a night to relax under the stars and dine along the Grand Canal.
The Grand Canal is lined with restaurants, each specializing in different fish delicacies. Wander along the port enjoying the setting sun and bustling atmosphere until you find that perfect choice.
Enjoy home-cooked Italian comforts surrounded by one of the finest views Venice has to offer.
Watch the sun set and the stars come out in a delightful small restaurant guaranteed to have a joyous ambience.
As the evening draws to a close, stroll across the iconic Rialto Bridge. Aside from the hustle and bustle of the day, guests can appreciate its beauty and craftsmanship while taking time to admire the scenic view.

Tesco Bank posted bumper lending growth driven by mortgages in preliminary annual results released today, as the lender expanded its intermediary distribution.
Mortgage balances at the bank have grown to £3bn, and now make up 26% of Tesco's lending portfolio, up from 22% last year, helping to boost the bank's income for the year.
The bank did not publish its gross lending total for the year, however in October it revealed it had completed £2.5bn of lending in its first full year operating in the broker market.
Tesco Bank's operating profits before exceptional items increased by 10% year-on-year to £173m.
Overall loans and advances to customers reached £11.5bn, up by 15.7%, and the lender said its balance sheet is well positioned to support further growth.
Tesco Bank reported a rise in customer numbers to 5.6m customers, growth of around 4%, as deposits grew to £9.2bn.
However, underlying impairment charges increased by around 30% to £136.5m, which the bank said reflected balance growth and the implementation of a number of credit initiatives in recent years.
The wider Tesco group today posted a 28% rise in profits to more than £1bn.
Laith Khalaf, senior analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "Tesco Bank has been helped by customer redress costs falling out of the equation which has led to a big jump in its reported profits.
"There's some headwinds too though, with ATM income falling back as fewer people are using cash, and an increase in loan impairment charges.
Legal and General has launched a new optional payment lifetime mortgage (OPLM).


you know what itunes needs? a ratings system that allows for "this song is beautiful, but i never, ever want to hear it." sometimes at work i like to play my top-rated songs on shuffle so that everything that comes up is, like, my favorite song EVAR. but i have a lot of top-rated songs that are too depressing or sentimental for everyday office listening.
but it's never just a server error, is it?
what i'd like to have is a six-star ratings system, wherein the six-starred songs would show up when you sorted your music by highest rating, but they'd never play in shuffle mode. the six-starred songs are highly volatile, see? they're so sensitive that they can't be played spontaneously without risk of system failure.
