Kyler had a little graduation at his preschool and it was so fun to go to! He got a little certificate and got to show us the books and songs he liked and we got to make and eat ice cream sundaes! Then I got to go outside and play with him! In the one picture he is swinging next to a little girl that was in his class and she always says she is going to grow up and marry that "red headed Kyler!" She is such a cute, special little girl!
We had a visitor in our yard and this was just something fun to post!
We went up to help dad brand a couple of weekends ago and it had been awhile! I don't think I have ever gotten pictures of dad branding so this year I decided to take some.
Mother's Day this year was kind of a bummer because Ry worked graves and I got to see him about 45 min. But that's ok! I got awesome cards from my kids and 2 carnations from KyLeigh and an awesome purse! I also realized I didn't have any pics with my mom so we started having fun and taking snapshots! It was also Tom's missionary farewell and MaShayla wanted a pic of her and him to put in the time capsule they are doing for school this year and they will open it when they are seniors. So here is just a bunch of random snapshots from mother's day!
Every year one of the preschools here goes to my mom and dad's ranch for a field trip. This year Kyler got to go to because he goes to that school. He was so excited to take the kids to Grandma's and show them all of the neat stuff there! I hope the kids had a lot of fun!!
I got this poem from my sister today and loved it! So, In light of Mother's day I though I'd post it and say Thank you to my mom for all she does for me!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL OF YOU WONDERFUL MOTHER'S OUT THERE!!!
Last Thursday was Keaton's first pine wood derby. When you run a pine wood derby they have a series of 4 races and then they total the time and those with the best time win. He got 2nd place, 3rd place, 2nd place, and then another 2nd place. He ended up taking 2nd place in his troop and gets to go to districts on the 21st! YAY!!!
This past week was pretty awesome! MaShayla got citizen of the month, Keaton got a managing me award for reading and Kyler had his me day at preschool. I thought it was so cool that it all landed on the same week and they each got a little bit of the spotlight. MaShayla tried her hardest to be everyone's friend and Keaton has read so much more lately and has passed all of the required reading. And Kyler had his special day at preschool and got to share his favorite things. He took his hospital scrapbook, from when he was born, his blanket, horse and dragon. And then he took the teeacher's favorite treats.....Reeses peanut butter cups and reeses pieces. I am so proud of all of them!

Menasha schools deficit-free, for now
Jen Zettel
The administration expects to eliminate a projected shortfall of $7,000 for 2014-15.
The district faced budget deficits in seven of the last 10 school years.
Cash reserves covered the shortfalls, but will be gone by 2017-18 if no action is taken.
The district plans to take action following the gubernatorial election in November.
MENASHA – For the first time in six years, the Menasha Joint School District could end the school year without a deficit.
Budget shortfalls are nothing new to Menasha taxpayers, who have heard about school budget deficits in seven of the past 10 fiscal years, according to figures provided by Brian Adesso, business services director. The district made ends meet by dipping into its cash reserves.
A year-old PMA Financial Network model predicts a shortfall for 2014-15 of $7,270, which the district will whittle down to zero before the board approves the budget in November, Adesso said.
Shortfalls and fund balance
Last school year, the district faced a $1.2 million deficit. Because of increased revenue from Medicaid, open enrollment and collected back-taxes with the Internal Revenue Service, the shortfall was cut nearly in half to $677,206.
Adesso said the school district received more revenues for Medicaid and had more students transfer into the district than originally expected.
Cash reserves — also known as fund balance — put the district back in the black.
Even though officials predict a break-even fiscal year, projections for the following four years show increasing deficits, as high as $4.8 million in the 2018-19 school year, according to the PMA model.
Without action the cash reserves that bailed the district out will be nearly gone by the time today's freshmen are seniors in 2017-18.
Districts use fund balance to pay their bills until they receive property taxes and state aid payments. If they don't have enough reserves to cover those costs, they have to short-term borrow.
Many school districts won't use fund balance for anything other than paying bills. However, some draw from it for one-time expenditures, such as building projects. For example, the Appleton Area School District spent $500,000 in the summer of 2013 to renovate Plamann School for Appleton Public Montessori.
The district will receive an updated PMA model this year, which will reflect some changes, and provide officials with a more accurate financial picture, Adesso said.
Getting on track
At a public brainstorming session in November 2013, a number of groups suggested selling naming rights to Menasha facilities and classrooms to increase revenue.
District Administrator Chris VanderHeyden said Monday that officials are forming a committee to investigate the idea, and hope to present information to the board in a few months.
What officials decide also will depend heavily on who wins the upcoming gubernatorial election — Scott Walker or Mary Burke.
"To be frank, we're waiting until after the elections," Adesso said. "Depending on who's elected could influence the different situations."

Monday brought a huge market downturn, with the Dow dropping a record 1,175 points. Tuesday morning didn't look much better, with the market dropping an addition 567 points at the opening bell. Things calmed down as the day went on, with investors rallying to end the day up 567 points. With everything going on, I wanted to share my thoughts on the recent stock market volatility, what it means, and where defensive investors might look to shift their capital. We don't see the equity market volatility over the last several days as a signal of a larger economic contraction as much as it is a correction in the equity market. Typically, in the case of a greater recession, we'll see credit spreads widen prior to seeing a drop in the stock market, which is not happening right now. Instead, this looks to be an equity correction combined with a flight to quality in other markets. This volatility has been driven primarily by the movement of an overheated equities market back to fair values and private credit strategies are looking increasingly attractive. Accordingly, TIPS, Agency MBS, and US TSY should provide stability if the equity markets continue to fall. If inflation emerges as the ultimate market bogeyman, TIPS are preferred over the others on this list. For investors looking to stay in stocks and ride out an erratic market, low volatility ETFs become an attractive place to invest your portfolio, while equities with high recent price momentum become largely unappealing. REITs have significant exposure to the equity markets, and they also tend to have exposure to interest rates. If investors expect deflation or a falling interest rate environment, REITs perform well as income-producing assets. In a recession, REITs may in fact be more defensive than stocks as their earnings, and thus much of their value, are tied to long-term leases that remain in place regardless of market volatility. For investors looking to be particularly defensive, residential apartment REITs become more attractive while office and industrial park REITs become less desirable. And a shameless plug: AlphaFlow's AOP product is a great hedge against volatile equity markets. Contact us to learn more.

Auto-Parts Maker Cranks Up Payouts
Shirley A. Lazo
Updated Dec. 16, 2002 12:01 am ET / Original Jan. 19, 2020 4:53 am ET
Writing in these pages in mid-August (Into Overdrive, Aug. 12, 2002), contributing editor Harlan S. Byrne argued that auto-parts maker BorgWarner was gaining traction. He said the company's investments in high-tech production facilities and drivetrain systems were paying off. Indeed, last Tuesday BorgWarner proffered a handful of upbeat 2003 projections. It also revved up its dividend by 20% -- the first increase since 1994. (BorgWarner initiated payouts in November 1993; it increased them the following February.) The new quarterly common dividend of 18 cents a share, up from 15, is payable Feb. 17 to investors of record Feb. 3.
Chief Executive John F. Fiedler said the dividend enhancement "signals our confidence in the stability and future growth we expect. BorgWarner continues to deliver record results even in a tough, globally competitive automotive environment. Our business remains focused on delivering strong cash flow, and we are committed to investing cash in order to maximize shareholder value."
As for those aforementioned projections, Fiedler said the company anticipates "growth within our target ranges of 8% to 11% for sales and 12% to 16% for earnings, even with the expectation of more moderate auto production in North America and Europe." He noted that BorgWarner's existing stock-buyback program, under which it's authorized to repurchase as many as 1.2 million shares, is 50% complete. In addition, the Chicago-based company is using its cash flow to pay down debt and is on track to reach its goal of a $100 million reduction in borrowings this year. As of Sept. 30, cash and cash equivalents totaled $46.3 million.
Traded on the Big Board, BorgWarner stock set a 52-week high of 68.95 May 24, and was recently quoted just above 50. Institutions own close to 90% of the roughly 27 million common shares outstanding.
BorgWarner is the world's largest maker of automatic-transmission parts, and its Tenneco Automotive division is No. 1 in shock absorbers. It expects to add $1.2 billion in new powertrain business over the next three years, as auto makers in the U.S., Europe and Asia buy more engine and four-wheel-drive components.
The company said its global customer base and fuel-efficient technology "are clearly strong growth catalysts for this net new business," about one-half of which is with Volkswagen, Honda, General Motors and Hyundai. By 2005, BorgWarner expects more than half of its sales to come from non-Big Three auto makers.
In the first nine months of 2002, profits surged to $109.1 million, or $4.07 a share, from $64.2 million, or $2.43, a year earlier. Sales climbed 15%, to $2.03 billion. "Our earnings guidance of $5.50 a share for the year remains unchanged," said Fiedler. According to ThomsonFinancial/First Call, analysts on average are looking for BorgWarner to earn $6.28 a share in 2003 and $8.50 in 2004.
For 15 years in a row, Raleigh, N.C.-based Progress Energy has been steadily powering up its dividends. Last Wednesday's boost takes the quarterly to 56 cents a share from 54.5 cents and gives the stock a 5.3% yield. Disbursement is set for Feb. 1; the record date is Jan. 10. Dividends have been paid since 1937.
A Fortune 250 diversified-energy company, Progress has generating capacity of more than 21,800 megawatts and annual revenues of $8 billion. It's the holding company for CP&L and Florida Power, both of which will take the Progress Energy name come Jan. 1. It serves more than 2.9 million customers across the Carolinas and Florida and has a clutch of non-regulated operations as well.
The shares change hands on the Big Board some 10 points under their 52-week high of 52.70, set May 23. In November, Progress announced it had sold a block of 14.7 million newly issued shares to J.P. Morgan Securities and would use the resulting $600 million to cut short-term debt. The company racked up $11.2 billion of debt during the past few years as it made acquisitions and started new businesses. It has sold some assets unrelated to its main energy business.
Due to dilution from the stock offering, Progress now expects 2003 earnings of $3.80 to $3.90, down from an earlier estimate of about $4.02. Its outlook for this year is at the low end of $3.90 to $4.
For the first time since 1981, Los Angeles-based Occidental Petroleum is raising its quarterly common dividend. On Tuesday, the company voted a penny boost, to 26 cents a share, for a 3.7% yield. The respective payment and record dates are April 15 and March 10. Dividends have been ongoing since 1975. Payouts were slashed to 25 cents in 1991 from 62.5 cents. Chief Executive Ray R. Irani cited Oxy's "strengthened balance sheet, improved operations and enhanced profitability." He said the company was "confident of achieving our combined oil and gas annual production growth forecast each year through 2006."

BorgWarner anticipates '03 sales rise


In 2012, there were more than 700,000 vehicle thefts. Property losses due to the theft amounted to $4.3 billion. These numbers are alarming, and as a car owner, you wouldn't want your car to be one of those mentioned in the statistics. The most effective way to protect your car is to get a car alarm system.
If you are a technical person and used to fixing devices with lots of wires, you may want to try installing your own car alarm. Most people tend to get frustrated with the alarm's sensors and wires – lots of wires. To be able to properly install a car alarm, you need to have the patience and skill.
It is the professionals who usually install the car alarm. In fact, it is advised to have the car alarm installed by automotive experts so you can go back to them in case you run into a problem. However, if you are positive about your technical knowledge on electronics and alarm systems, then you might be able to successfully install the alarm on your own. There are lots of instructions on how to install a car alarm system.


Phishing attacks come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes it's an email from a stranger pretending to be a corporate executive or someone you know, a social media post inviting you to click a link, or an instant message from a "friend." And sometimes it's a website designed to fool you into offering up your login credentials or other confidential data. These sites can be very convincing, often taking you to the legitimate site it is spoofing after you hand over your credentials. Other times, not so much. Here's a cautionary tale that I experienced just last month.
I don't know about you, but I've seen far too many emails and received too many phone calls from credit card issuers telling me an unauthorized purchase has been made in some shop thousands of miles from my home, often in an exotic location, and the company wants to know if it was me. Of course, not I say, and a new card whisks its way to me. When I get it, there's a sticker with a URL on the card telling me where I need to go and validate the card. It just happened again.
This time, however, I wondered what would happen if I did a web search on how to validate that specific bank's credit card. Sure enough, the first listing was for a look-alike URL that took me to a phishing site that had the bank's logo and a box for me to put in my name, card number, birthdate, and security code from the card. It was fraudulent, of course, but talk about brazen phishing attempts, this one was off the charts.
I could see immediately that this was not from the credit card, even though it had the right logo, colors and ads. The text read "You know why you're here. Just put in your data and validate your card." Really? Does your credit card vendor use that kind of language with you?
There are often other tip-offs that a site is fraudulent, but if you have any questions or concerns, the best advice is to call the company (never use a phone number from a questionable website) asking for your information and verifying the URL before submitting any private data.
Two days after this experience, I received an email from a different credit card issuer telling me that card number was used at a Sprint retail outlet. Sprint is not my cell phone carrier so I knew another card number had been compromised. The card provider knew as well and rejected the purchase before I called. Incidentally, it's a good idea to sign up for your credit card's service that tells you when a purchase is made without the physical card being used.
These attacks can become a two-pronged: first stealing your data and then inviting you to provide even more personal data while trying to repair the damage from the first attack. It's a virtual Möbius loop of phishing and data theft.
I currently use multiple levels of email security, both at the office and in my home, yet phishing emails are becoming more pernicious and craftier every day, by passing antiphishing software. Many even look better than some of the emails I get from vendors I know are legitimate.
It comes down to this: The bad guys are getting better at their job every day. Often, they know more about you than you know about yourself. Individuals and companies alike must up their game to keep up with the slicker, more professional attacks, be they through email, social media, instant messaging or your favorite cell phone app.
This class of bad guys want anything they can monetize, be your personal and medical data, corporate intellectual property, or access to devices they can use in a bot. If you are not keeping up with the latest intelligence on what the bad guys are doing, you'll be next. Layered security is essential, but it's not be all and end all. The best advice I have comes from a pop culture reference from the Harry Potter books: Constant vigilance. That is your best defense.

The consideration of being agreed in the great fundamentals of the faith should have extinguished all feuds and divisions about unessential points. Though there is not unity of sentiment, let there ever be unity of affection in the Church.
It is just with God to leave those to themselves who pour proud contempt on divine wisdom and grace. The way to divine light is to put out your own candle.
It was pleasant to the church at Corinth to realize that one of their own number was associated with the Apostle in his great ministry. Compare I Corinthians 1:1 with Acts 18:17. We have been sanctified in Christ in the purpose of God, but we must make our calling sure by living as saints. Note Paul's liberality—it was enough for him if men called on Jesus as their Lord. Such he could receive as brothers. There was no strain of narrow sectarianism in his nature.
I Corinthians 1:9—Called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
The word for fellowship is the same that is employed in Luke 5:10, of James and John being partners with Simon. We have been called into partnership with the Son of God, in his redemptive purposes, his love and tears for men, and ultimately in his triumph and glory. He has entered into partnership with man, and we are now summoned into partnership with Him through the communion of the Holy Ghost. In the words of the apostle, "our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ" (1 John 1:3).
How fruitful of comfort is the thought that Christ's interests are ours, and that we are at liberty to draw upon his resources to the uttermost. Suppose a poor clerk were to be summoned from his desk into the counting-house of a Rothschild, and informed that from that moment he was taken into partnership with the firm: would it not be less of an honor than this which has fallen to our lot? Association with millionaires in money-making were infinitely less desirable than association with the Son of God in world-saving. And would that poor clerk feel any anxiety as to his share in meeting the immense liabilities of the concern? However great they might be, he would know that the resources of the firm were adequate, and he would be able to sleep easily at night, though millions were due on the morrow. Child of God, cannot thy Father meet all his Son's engagements?
Apollos had gone straight from Ephesus to Corinth, Acts 19:1. A party gathered around him, especially attracted by his eloquence and intellectual brilliance. Cephas was Peter, and around his name the more conservative elements gathered. Christ, stood for the promised glory of the Messianic kingdom. Paul was filled with dismay on hearing that a fourth division of the Church called themselves by his name. He told the Corinthians that whatever any of their human teachers had done for them, they had contributed only different phases or viewpoints of truth, all of which service sank into absolute insignificance as contrasted with the death of Jesus Christ on the cross.

dit le Petit (né vers  et mort le ), fils d'Alain le Noir, seigneur de Guingamp et comte de Richmond, et de la duchesse Berthe de Bretagne, fille du duc , fut comte de Richmond de 1146 à 1171 et duc de Bretagne de 1156 à 1166 ou 1167.

Biographie

Jeunesse
Conan, né vers 1135, est mineur lorsque son père meurt en 1146, ses droits à l'« Honneur de Richmond » sont reconnus pour la première fois  « dans l'année où la paix a été conclue entre Étienne roi d'Angleterre et Henri, comte de Normandie [c'est-à-dire,  – ] quand par la grâce des dits roi et comte l'héritage de mes parents m'est restauré », comme le reconnaît sa première charte connue. Ce document est un rare souvenir d'instance de l'exécution de l'accord à l'amiable conclu à Winchester entre le roi Étienne d'Angleterre et Henri. Le fait que dans cet acte Conan soit nommé « comte de Richmond », indique que sa situation en Bretagne était incertaine.

Duc de Bretagne
En 1148, son grand-père  avait désigné Conan comme son héritier sous la régence d'Eudon de Porhoët, second mari de Berthe, déshéritant pour cause d'illégitimité supposée, son fils Hoël qui refuse la sentence.  se proclame son successeur, mais défait par Eudon, il doit se contenter du comté de Nantes. À l'âge de la majorité,  se révolte contre son beau-père qui refuse de lui laisser les rênes du duché. Il s'allie à Hoël mais ils sont  battus par Eudon en 1154. Conan se réfugie en Angleterre auprès d' qui lui confirme la possession du titre et de l'Honneur de Richmond, hérité de son père

Conan reçoit une aide militaire anglaise qui lui permet de revenir en Bretagne et de rallier plusieurs féodaux, mais sa position de vassal du roi d'Angleterre provoque une révolte des seigneurs bretons sous la conduite d'Eudon de Porhoët. Ce dernier, battu, se réfugie hors de Bretagne.  est proclamé duc en 1156, mais cette même année, les Nantais chassent son oncle Hoël et choisissent pour comte le frère cadet d', Geoffroy Plantagenêt, déjà comte du Maine et d'Anjou depuis 1156.

Le comté de Nantes
Quand Geoffroy d'Anjou, comte de Nantes, meurt en ,  se saisit immédiatement du comté. C'est la seule fois où il s'oppose frontalement à , qui réplique en confisquant temporairement l'« Honneur de Richemond » et en débarquant en France, où Conan se hâte d'aller se soumettre à Avranches le jour de la Saint-Michel en  et de lui rendre le comté de Nantes. Il ne fera plus preuve que de peu d'opposition par la suite. Il est certain que son mariage avec Marguerite de Huntingdon, sœur du roi des Scots , en 1160, a été approuvé sinon arrangé par  lui-même.  réside alors beaucoup en Angleterre entre 1156 et 1164

 de Bretagne, duc de Bretagne, va en compagnie de Geoffroi évêque de Saint-Brieuc ; d', roi d'Angleterre; et de , abbé de Saint-Aubin des Bois; Guillaume, abbé de Saint-Serge, Hugues, abbé de Saint-Nicolas d'Angers, Guillaume, abbé de Saint-Maur ; Guillaume, abbé de Toussaint d'Angers, assister à la translation  du corps de saint Brieuc dans l'abbaye Saint-Serge-lès-Angers

Révoltes
Eudon de Porhoët mène une nouvelle révolte qui remporte des succès, mais offre ainsi à  le prétexte pour intervenir en Bretagne avec une armée qui prend Josselin en 1168.  dépouille Eudon de Porhoët du Porhoët, puis, après une dernière révolte en 1173, du comté de Penthièvre.

 ne tolère plus de désordre dans le duché, en particulier les nuisances apportées au commerce maritime entre ses différentes possessions (au Nord et au Sud de la Bretagne) par les naufrageurs abusant du droit de bris.

Dans l'intervalle un conflit avec son oncle, Henri, comte de Trégor, permet à  de confisquer à ce dernier le comté de Guingamp, qui à la fin de la décennie 1160 devient le centre principal de son pouvoir : beaucoup de ses chartes subsistantes ont été scellées dans cette cité plus que partout ailleurs. Mais les révoltes des féodaux bretons se poursuivent ; elles impliquent  de Dol-Combourg,  qui voit son château rasé, et , ainsi que les intriques persistantes de son ex beau-père, Eudon de Porhoët ; ces événements affaiblissent encore son pouvoir et altèrent probablement sa santé .

Abdication et mort
Le ,  se trouve avec  à Angers lors de la « translation » du corps de Saint Brieuc de l'abbaye Saint Serge & Bacchus. C'est à cette occasion que finalement Conan accepte officiellement de fiancer sa fille et héritière Constance âgée de , au quatrième fils d', Geoffroy, âgé de , et à lui laisser l'administration de la Bretagne afin d'obtenir plus d'aide contre ses ennemis. Il ne conserve sous son contrôle personnel que Guingamp et quelques domaines dans le diocèse de Quimper, ainsi que l'Honneur de Richmond.

Avec son épouse Conan continue la tradition familiale d'être un bienfaiteur d'abbayes, spécialement bretonnes, comme Saint Melaine de Rennes, Saint Georges de Rennes, Bégard, Saint Sulpice-des-Bois, et Sainte Croix de Quimperlé. Le prieuré de Sainte Croix de Guingamp reçoit également des donations de Conan et de Marguerite, pendant qu'il fonde pour les cisterciens l'Abbaye Saint-Maurice de Carnoët en 1170 et reste en étroites relations avec les moines de l'Abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel et de Savigny.

Il rencontre à l'occasion  avec qui il est à Angers de nouveau le  et probablement à Avranches en 1170, mais le pouvoir réel en Bretagne est exercé par  plusieurs années avant la mort de Conan le , quand sa fille Constance devient duchesse titulaire.

Sa veuve se remarie avec , connétable d'Angleterre, et à sa mort en 1201 elle est inhumée à l'Abbaye de Sawtry, dans le Huntingdonshire. Conan avait quant à lui été inhumé dans l'Abbaye de Bégard.

Union et descendance
De son union avec Marguerite de Huntingdon naissent :

 Constance (v. 1161-1201), duchesse de Bretagne ;
 Au moins deux enfants morts en bas âge ;
 Peut-être un fils, Guillaume (encore en vie vers 1200) ;
 Peut-être une fille, Marguerite, qui épousa Pedro Manrique de Lara.

Représentation en littérature
Conan est généralement décrit comme un duc faible, incapable de protéger le duché contre le puissant roi angevin dans l'historiographie bretonne, mais l'historien Eric Borgnis-Desbordes a récemment nuancé cette opinion.

 est mentionné dans la tragédie Jean sans Terre ou la mort d'Arthur (1791) de Jean-François Ducis, les romans Time and Chance (2002), Prince of Darkness (2005) et Devil's Brood (2008) de , et le deuxième volume de la trilogie Le Château des Poulfenc (2009) de Brigitte Coppin.

Running is helpful in postponing the effects of aging on the human body. Running is very good for reducing the pace of aging, which keeps a person physically young, while also keeping them mentally adept and alert as well. Running is also applicable of nourishing the skin and adding a healthy glow.


We came upon these beautiful tiny watermelon-looking things called sanditas at the Union Square Greenmarket. I had never seen them before, but my culinarian son, Mickey, said "oh, yes, I've had them at Gramercy Tavern". Who knew??? Turns out sanditas are also known as sour Mexican gherkins, cucamelon, or, less-appetizingly, mouse melon and are a favorite Mexican vegetable. When I bought mine, the vendor said "don't pickle them, eat them", so, of course, I had to pickle them. Once I tasted the little guys I was sure that they would work best pickled to serve with patés or on meze platters. I did leave a few to slice in salad, but the remainder went into the following recipe. This recipe can also be used with any baby vegetable or pearl onions.
Place sanditas in a glass or ceramic bowl. Sprinkle in salt and add cold water to cover. Let stand in a cool place for 12 hours. Drain off salt water and rinse in colander under cold running water. Drain and dry.
Bring the vinegar, orange juice, and sugar to a boil in heavy saucepan over medium heat. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
While the vinegar mixture is cooking, pack the sanditas, ginger, and chile into hot sterilized jars. Pour the hot pickling syrup over the top, leaving ¼-inch headspace.
If you are going to refrigerate the pickles, cap the jars and turn upside-down on a wire rack and let stand until cool before refrigerating. Or, to preserve for a long period of time, place the filled jars into a canning pot fitted with a rack with cold water to cover and place over high heat. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. Remove from the boiling water and cool as directed for refrigerated pickles.
what wonderful photos… the pickles look marvelous!
We still have them in the fridge – come on by!


Fifty-four people, including five children, were aboard an aircraft that went missing during a brief flight in eastern Indonesia on Sunday, according to reports.
The Trigana Air Service plane lost contact with officials on the ground in Oksibil, where it was expected to land, Transportation Ministry spokesman Julius Barata told the Associated Press.
The ATR 42-300 turboprop plane had departed from Jayapura on Sunday afternoon, Agence France-Presse reported. In addition to the children and 44 adult passengers, it carried five crew members.
According to both the Associated Press and AFP, local residents reported a plane crash, but AFP noted that there was no official confirmation at the suspected site yet.
"The plane has been found (by villagers). According to residents, the flight had crashed into a mountain. Verification is still in process," the transport ministry's director-general of air transportation told AFP.
At a Sunday night news conference, officials told reporters that they wouldn't have more information until crews arrived on the scene, according to the Associated Press.
Oksibil is a short flight from Jayapura, the capital of Papua province in Indonesia. (Jayapura is 13 hours ahead of Washington.) It appears that no distress call was logged before the airliner went missing, reports indicate.
Dudi Sudibyo, an aviation analyst, said that Papua is a particularly dangerous place to fly because of its mountainous terrain and rapidly changing weather patterns. "I can say that a pilot who is capable of flying there will be able to fly an aircraft in any part of the world," he said.
"Oksibil is a mountainous area where weather is very unpredictable," Beni Sumaryanto, Trigana Air's director of operations, told AFP. "It can suddenly turn foggy, dark and windy without warning.


Being fit means making our bodies fit for use- for whatever circumstances we could imaginably be in. While disabilities may make some aspects of physical fitness out of an individual's control, we also believe in taking personal responsibility; so we avoid excuses and instead seek avenues of excellence. Meanwhile modern science and commercialism have made the topics of nutrition and exercise challenging to understand. These rapidly evolving fields are sometimes filled with conflicting or biased information. Instead of prescribing a diet, exercise, or rest plan for everyone, we trust in the individual human ability to reason. Each individual should seek and sort out good information that is applicable to themselves. With excellent fitness we are not only more capable of handling the physical labors of life, but enjoy greater confidence, health, and happiness.

The National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF-GRFP) is a prestigious grant awarded annually by the National Science Foundation to approximately 2,000 students pursuing research-based Master's and doctoral degrees in the natural, social, and engineering sciences at US institutions. As of 2019, the fellowship provides an honorarium of $12,000 to be placed towards the cost of tuition and fees at the university the fellow attends; it also awards the student directly with an annual $34,000 stipend for three years, leading to an anticipated total award amount of $138,000.

Each recipient could previously apply for a one-time-only travel award for $1,000. This travel award was previously for international research activities or presenting at an international scientific conference. However, in 2010, this opportunity was converted to the Nordic Research Opportunity, which is intended to facilitate collaborations between U.S. graduate fellows and scholars at Finnish, Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian research institutions.

Award history
The Graduate Research Fellowship was first awarded in 1952, with the goal of encouraging basic scientific research and ensuring comprehensive, competitive research programs for U.S. students. Since 1952, the NSF has funded over 46,500 Graduate Research Fellowships out of over 500,000 applicants. Many former graduate fellows have gone on to become Nobel laureates and members of the National Academy of Sciences. Some well known NSF GRFP alumni include Eric Cornell, Steven Chu, Jennifer Richeson, Sergey Brin, Amy Mainzer, Steven Levitt, Burton Richter, and John C. Mather.

Award distribution
The NSF GRFP has struggled with an uneven distribution of the award to a select few graduate schools. In 2019 31% of the grants were awarded to students of only 10 elite academic universities, with 14% of them awarded to just the top three: Berkeley, MIT, and Stanford. This distribution has been suggested to perpetuate inequality in science, as graduate students at less elite academic universities often have a greater need for funding. In addition, elite universities, both graduate and undergraduate level, often have greater resources designed to help students submit successful applications. Awareness of the fellowship, resources to help apply, research opportunities in undergrad, financial freedom to work in a lab in college, and undergraduate support are also important factors considered contributors to an uneven distribution. Between 2019 and 2021, the distribution has favored the so-called "elite" institutions less, with the top ten's share dropping to 26% and the share of the top three dropping to 12%.

An alternative explanation is that the students awarded the GRFP, who come from many different social and economic backgrounds, naturally gravitate towards the best nationwide institutions for research. The GRFP often vastly increases awardee's academic freedom to choose between labs and universities, since they are less reliant on departmental funding.

Until 2016 the NSF GRFP allowed any number of applications before starting graduate school, and two applications once enrolled. In 2016 the NSF reduced the number of times an enrolled graduate student could apply to only once during their graduate career. This was announced as a way to improve the chances of undergraduate applicants who have not yet chosen a graduate program. These improved chances were to encourage more undergrads to apply. However, in 2018 the number of awards received by the top 10 universities was greater than any since 2011, and an even  greater number of undergraduates awarded the fellowship came from the top 30 schools.

Between 2015 and 2021, Berkeley (504), MIT (440), and Cornell (271) were the top universities from which fellows received undergraduate degrees; the top three universities affiliated with graduate students receiving NSF-GRFP awards were Berkeley (758), Stanford (634), and MIT (531).

Application requirements
The competition is open to U.S. citizens and national and permanent residents who are enrolled or intend to be enrolled in full-time research-based graduate programs in an eligible STEM field. Undergraduates seniors and bachelor degree holders may apply before enrolling in a degree granting graduate program, however once enrolled in a graduate program graduate students are limited to only one application submitted their first or beginning of their second year. Generally applicants cannot have a masters or professional degree when applying, unless returning after two or more years and not enrolled in a graduate program.

In order to apply, the applicant must submit biographical information, undergraduate and graduate transcripts where applicable, three letters of recommendation, and two essays: a personal statement with relevant experience and a research proposal stating future goals.

Applications are typically due in late October, with different deadlines for different scientific fields. Letters of recommendation are typically due in early November. Fellows and students selected for Honorable Mention are usually notified in April of the year following their application. Together, the Fellows and Honorable Mention students make up about the top 30% of applicants with around 2,000 each.

Additional information
The grant is administered through the institution the student is attending. The fellowship is five years with three years of funding, and the funding can be postponed for up to two 12-month increments as long as the recipient continues to engage in work leading to the eligible graduate degree. When funding is not being drawn the student is on 'reserve', while funding is being drawn the student is 'tenured'. For instance, a recipient might postpone the grant's funding while working as a teaching assistant or research assistant. This is referred to as "reserve". On the third year of reserve, the recipient will automatically forfeit any remaining years of tenure.

In 2020, the NSF announced it will emphasize the fields of artificial intelligence, quantum information science, and computationally intensive research when awarding fellowships. This received criticism from the science community largely due to concerns that the new focus could further disadvantage under-represented groups.

Q: CommandButton not working for Site Guest User I have two pages and one controller all enabled for Site Guest Profile.
On page A I have an apex:form with a commandButton; clicking on the button redirects to page B.
All is working well for an authenticated user but for the Site Guest User the commandButton is not firing. Actually something is happening, and the page is getting refreshed but its not redirected to page B, and I don't see that the method is called when I check the debug log.
When I try to display page B by typing in its URL in the public site, everything is working fine.
Can someone save me, and suggest why the redirect is not happening for the Site Guest Profile?
Button Code:

    }
    return null;

A: Dedo, what does the button do besides change the page?  Does it save anything, set parameters, etc?
I ask because 99% of sites issues are related to that profile not being able to do something (either permissions- wise or due to the licensing constraints).
Can you share the code that the button invokes?

A: So I finally found the reason: on the page I'm displaying a couple of Account fields.
Even though I'm not updating the Account in my action method, the page is validating the user permissions (Site guest users have no update permission), and blocks me from invoking the the controller.
I worked around this by assigning the Account fields to controller variables and binding the latter to the vf page.

Inspired by a delightful brunch experience in my city of San Francisco, my mind was literally blown when I had hummus on pizza for breakfast for the first time. Such a great combination, and such a great way to make breakfast healthy and fun!
7 ingredients and less than 20 minutes is all it takes to make these delicious Hummus Breakfast Pizzas. Creamy hummus with fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh veggies, and a runny egg, and breakfast is a WIN. Perfect for a relaxing weekend brunch or an on-the-go weekday morning.
Top with cheese, followed by tomatoes and olives. Make sure to leave a hole in the center of the pizza with no toppings to crack the egg into.
Crack and egg into the center of each pizza, then bake for about 6-8 minutes, until the egg whites are set and the yolk is still runny, or to desired doneness.
Other ingredients that would be super tasty for this recipe - tomato sauce, sun dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, spinach, etc. I did a version with roasted red peppers and it was super good!

Q: dnx does not load correct .Net libraries I am trying to run a .Net WebApi using dnx and kestrel on my CentOS machine, and I am getting a lot of "The type or namespace 'blah' does not exist in the namespace 'blahblah'" errors, which hints, that dnx is for some reason using some old assemblies, which indeed do not have the latter defined. By this moment I have been successfully running the same WebApi with mono on the same machine as a selfhosted application. It has been also successfully compiled with xbuild, but no luck with compiling it with dnx and hosting on kestrtel so far. This is my first experience with dnx, and I am sure, that I am doing something wrong, but googling and reading still did not help me understand, what is wrong exactly. My project.json is as follows :
    {
"webroot": "./",
"dependencies": {
    "Kestrel": "1.0.0-beta5",
    "Microsoft.AspNet.Diagnostics": "1.0.0-beta5",

The greatest deal of errors are related to System.Configuration.Configurationmanager, which dnx fails to locate in System.Configuration and types from System.Runtime.Caching, in the latter case dnx cannot find System.Runtime.Caching at all. The errors also say, that dnx verison I am using is v4.5.1, which, I suppose, should understand .Net 4.5.1. The dnvm list command shows 1.0.0-beta6. Is it possible, that I have to provide the necessary dlls manually ? If so, where should I put them ? If the cause of this problem is different, what could it be? I would appreciate, if someone could explain the basics about dnx : i.e, where do I find its configuration files, where does it put packages and dlls, does it use mono, or it has its own runtime, what compiler does it use, and should I fetch its specific version, etc.

A: You are targeting the dnx451 framework which is the full .Net Framework SDK. This framework is not available on CentOS (RedHat Clone right?) but only dnxcore.
Your dependencies have multiple implementations inside, one for dnx and one for dnxcore. If you compile to dnx451 the dependency will use the implementation for dnx451 which has a dependency to the .Net Framework SDK. If you would compile to dnxcore, the dependency would use the dnxcore implementation which (probably)  do not use the System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.
The System.Configuration namespace was rewritten as part of the .Net Core.
But as always with DNX: All beta, bugs are everywhere.

Imaging of exotic quantum particles as building blocks for quantum computing
by University of Illinois at Chicago

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago, in collaboration with their colleagues at the University of Hamburg in Germany, have imaged an exotic quantum particle—called a Majorana fermion—that can be used as a building block for future qubits and eventually the realization of quantum computers. Their findings are reported in the journal Science Advances.
More than 50 years ago, Gordon Moore, the former CEO of Intel, observed that the number of transistors on a computer chip doubles every 18 to 24 months. This trend, now known as Moore's Law, has continued to the present day, leading to transistors that are only a few nanometers—one-billionth of a meter—in size. At this scale, the classical laws of physics, which form the basis on which our current computers work, cease to function, and they are replaced by the laws of quantum mechanics. Making transistors even smaller, which has been used in the past to increase computing speed and data storage, is, therefore, no longer possible.
Unless researchers can figure out how to use quantum mechanics as the new foundation for the next generation of computers.
This was the basic idea formulated in 1982 by Richard Feynman, one of the most influential theoretical physicists of the 20th century. Rather than using classical computer bits that store information encoded in zeros and ones, one would devise "quantum bits"—or qubits for short—that would utilize the laws of quantum mechanics to store any number between 0 and 1, thereby exponentially increasing computing speed and leading to the birth of quantum computers.
"Usually, when you drop your cell phone, it doesn't erase the information on your phone," said Dirk Morr, professor of physics at UIC and corresponding author on the paper. "That's because the chips on which information is stored in bits of ones and zeros are fairly stable. It takes a lot of messing around to turn a one into a zero and vice versa. In quantum computers, however, because there is an infinite number of possible states for the qubit to be in, information can get lost much more easily."
To form more robust and reliable qubits, researchers have turned to Majorana fermions—quantum particles that occur only in pairs.
"We only need one Majorana fermion per qubit, and so we have to separate them from each other," Morr said.
By building qubits from a pair of Majorana fermions, information can be reliably encoded, as long as the Majoranas remain sufficiently far apart.
To achieve this separation, and to "image" a single Majorana fermion, it is necessary to create a "topological superconductor"—a system that can conduct currents without any energy losses, and at the same time, is tied into a "topological knot."
"This topological knot is similar to the hole in a donut: you can deform the donut into a coffee mug without losing the hole, but if you want to destroy the hole, you have to do something pretty dramatic, such as eating the donut," Morr said.
To build topological superconductors, Morr's colleagues at the University of Hamburg placed an island of magnetic iron atoms, only tens of nanometers in diameter, on the surface of rhenium, a superconductor. Morr's group had predicted that by using a scanning tunneling microscope, one should be able to image a Majorana fermion as a bright line along the edge of the island of iron atoms. And this is exactly what the experimental group observed.
"Being able to actually visualize these exotic quantum particles takes us another step closer to building robust qubits, and ultimately quantum computers," Morr said. "The next step will be to figure out how we can quantum engineer these Majorana qubits on quantum chips and manipulate them to obtain an exponential increase in our computing power. This will allow us to address many problems we face today, from fighting global warming and forecasting earthquakes to alleviating traffic congestion through driverless cars and creating a more reliable energy grid."

I want to explain here to you how the arrival of the ants is not just a natural phenomenon. I want to discuss how it emerges from the local economy of housework, from the South African system of cheap domestic labor. And its antediluvian structures of race and gender. I want to say something about how those who purchase domestic labor may prefer to leave certain kinds of work, like dishwashing, for those who are paid to complete it. And about how that may inadvertently provide the ants with a food source.
But it's hard for me to write here in detail about my household economy. There's a lot that's hard to talk about in this social context. Not that anyone tells you not to speak about it. They don't need to.
The economy of domestic labor in South Africa — as in southern California — is completely visible but barely spoken about. Hidden in plain sight, the eye can take it in, but the tongue should be still.
It was hard for me to find a place to stay when I first got to Stellenbosch. So I was happy to find a little apartment. It's in the basement of a big house overlooking the city. At night the city lights twinkle down in the valley. Proximity to the mountain is of course a form of class symbolism.
The neighborhood, Bo Dalsig, is one of the wealthiest in the country. All the houses have huge gates and security systems. The residents come and go in expensive cars. On weekday mornings, the domestic and yard workers climb the hill on foot.
At first, I walked to work. It took about 25 minutes. Then I bought a bike and it took 10. Then last week, my colleague lent me his spare car, which isn't any faster than biking to get to work, but makes it much easier to come home with the groceries.
It's the day before classes start, and I'm teaching a medium-sized lecture class about how to do ethnography. I've taught this topic before, a few years ago in Chicago, but this year I rewrote the syllabus to focus much more on analyzing ethnographic situations. The lectures are organized around a series of basic concepts: situations, projects, culture, ideology, representation, contradiction, practice, strategy, conflict, reflexivity, that sort of thing. Meanwhile the students will be doing fieldwork each week and talking about that in discussion sections. Here they're called tutorials.
I'm looking forward to teaching, in spite of some minor anxiety about the first day of class. You never know quite what will happen in a class; you just know you're physically invested in the outcome. Before I was a teacher, I didn't realize how much one has to invest in the role and the ensuing performance. I've never been a stage actor, but I think of teaching as a cousin of acting.
One time an eminent, retired woman academic told me that she still got anxious before giving conference talks. And if you stop getting anxious, that's a problem, she added. The same for teaching, perhaps. I've never had much stage fright, so for me, the anxiety is more a source of energy than of paralysis.
Of course, the economy of teaching remains hard to write about publicly, especially in the present (i.e. not in hindsight), because there's so much that goes into maintaining role separation between teachers and students, so much backstage work on both sides. And because the class and gender and race lines in many university systems are real, and remain very fraught. Not entirely unlike in the domestic work context.
But I'll have to come back to this. It's the day before the first class, so in the spirit of seriousness, I will go into my office on a Sunday morning and write my lecture. The first day of class, you end up spending half the time explaining the logistics anyway. There's domestic labor in the classroom too: neatening things, making organization, clearing up cobwebs.


Camphene is a terpene that gives off a musky, earthy aroma. Not to be confused with its similar-smelling cousin myrcene, camphene is known to have powerful anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties. Studies have also shown camphene to be effective in promoting cardiovascular health.


Why Whale watching in Northern Spain?
The long coast of north Spain provides a great diversity of beaches and cliffs in few miles of distance, this favors that exists great variety of species in all the epochs of the year. For nature lovers, the north of Spain is an exceptional place for Whale and fish observation and other animals including flora.
Beautiful cliffs in the coast, high peaks in the mountains, forests and wetlands are founded on the same territory, offering exceptional places for the enjoyment and pleasure of water animals seeing.
Incredible Whale watching tours in Spain.


Season the chicken thighs in a bowl with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, dried basil, and dried oregano. Mix until thoroughly coated with the seasoning.
On high, heat olive oil in a ovenproof pot and place chicken thighs, skin-side down, in the hot oil. Cook 3-4 minutes or until the thighs develop brown crispy skin, and flip over. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes to brown the other side, and remove from the pot.
Grate both zucchinis with a box grater.
Add the grated zucchini into the pot, along with rice, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
Lay the chicken on top of the rice mixture and cover. Bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken's internal temperature reads 165˚F (75˚C).
Remove chicken and broil 1-2 minutes to crisp skin even more (optional).
Serve chicken on bed of rice mixture.
This is my fav dish ever and I don't even like zucchini. The rice is so flavourful and I officially love zucchini now! I would squeeze the water out of the zucchini first before you put it to boil in the stove. Sometimes the rice didn't cook fully in the beginning but after making it 15 times in a year, I think I've finally got the hang of it!
So good but maybe double up on the amount of rice they call for, it wasn't much rice at all!

MLS: How will Wayne Rooney fare with D.C United?
D.C United are nearing the completion for the acquisition of Everton's Wayne Rooney in a deal estimated to be around £12 million.
Rooney, who is England and Manchester United's all-time leading goal scorer, netted eleven goals for Everton in the 2017-2018 season. Rooney's eleven goals with Everton in 2017-2018 all arrived before January 2018.
The Toffees signed Rooney last summer on a free transfer from Manchester United, which witnessed the 32-year-old Croxteth-born superstar rejoin his boyhood club Everton.
Prior to the announcement of Rooney agreeing in principle to join D.C United from Everton, D.C United had expressed interest in signing former Atlético Madrid striker Fernando Torres and Boca Juniors forward, Carlos Tévez.
Upon completion of the transfer, Rooney will join former Manchester United teammates Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Bastian Schweinsteiger in Major League Soccer, who both joined Major League Soccer clubs in marquee Designated Player deals; Ibrahimovic signed for Los Angeles Galaxy on March 23, 2018 and Schweinsteiger signed for Chicago Fire on March 21, 2017.
D.C United's potential acquisition of Rooney is set to be the biggest signing in the history of the club with Rooney also being the highest-paid player to play for D.C United.
Rooney, a veteran of three FIFA World Cup tournaments (2006, 2010, 2014) was believed to have made the decision on joining D.C United based on the uncertain future of current Everton boss, Sam Allardyce; Marco Silva has since replaced Allardyce as manager of Everton.
Rooney had one year remaining on his contract at Everton, which the former Manchester United hero signed last summer when he returned to Goodison Park.
Rooney, a lifelong Evertonian, had been linked with a big money move to the Chinese Super League before agreeing in principle to a £12 million switch to Major League Soccer's D.C United.
Throughout his illustrious career, Rooney has won the English Premier League five times, the UEFA Champions League once, the UEFA Europa League once, the F.A Cup once, the EFL Cup three times, the Community Shield four times and the FIFA World Club Cup once.
In addition, Rooney has been named PFA Players' Player of the Year once, FWA Footballer of the Year once, BBC Sports Personality of the Year once. The former England star is also a four-time winner of the England Senior Men's Player of the Year Award. Rooney is the most accomplished English player of his generation and an English Premier League great.
Rooney's agreement in principle to join Major League Soccer club D.C United has created incessant buzz in the mainstream media on both sides of the Atlantic.
Rooney will be D.C United's only English player in club history to have won both the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League, coupled alongside being D.C United's most talked about signing of all-time.
The question remains: How will Wayne Rooney fare with D.C United?

Minicars Popular among Japan's Aging Drivers

Minicars Popular Among Japan's Aging Drivers
In Japan, very small automobiles traditionally were meant for families seeking a low-cost form of transportation. But these minicars, also known as kei-cars, have instead become popular with another group of drivers: older adults.
Honda's N-Box model car, for example, is very small. The car is equipped with technology designed to make it safe and easy to drive.
The N-Box has been marketed mainly to young families. But Honda has found that about half of its owners are 50 years of age or older.
Carmakers have hoped that by adding high-technology equipment, young people could be persuaded to buy minicars. Yet the number of Japanese drivers under age 30 has fallen by nearly 40 percent since 2001.
Minicars are not costly. Prices start at about $7,500, and ownership taxes are low. For those reasons, the cars have gained a loyal following among Japan's growing number of elderly. Many of them very often earn about the same amount of money from one year to the next.
One out of every three passenger cars sold in Japan is a minicar.
Tortoise, an auto dealership south of Tokyo, specializes in minicars. Seventy percent of its buyers are older adults.
"After their children are grown and leave home, more people are looking to downsize from larger family cars to more compact ones," noted Kiminori Murano, a managing director at Tortoise.
All of Japan's major carmakers sell low cost, fuel-efficient cars. These vehicles are produced mainly for Japanese buyers. With very small engines, they are considered too small for foreign markets.
Carmakers deal with Japan's aging population
Some industry experts are predicting that automated cars, taxis and buses will keep older people active later in life. But until those high-tech products become a reality, kei-cars are likely to continue to be popular in Japan, a country with an aging population.
The Reuters news agency recently spoke with Hideaki Takaishi, a safety engineer at Honda. He said that one safety device uses sensors to observe a vehicle's surroundings and identify whether the driver has pressed the wrong pedal. Carmakers also are trying to develop artificial intelligence systems that can advise drivers.
Japanese minicars have long been popular in Japan. Now older drivers have become a loyal following.
Such advice could include warnings about safety risks, such as if the vehicle is moving toward the side of the road.
Takaishi said systems like this will help older drivers.
"They really want to maintain their independence while they're driving, and it's a skill they've honed over many years," he said.
In Japan, the number of people aged 60 and older with a driver's permit is growing faster than in other developed countries.
In many rural areas, some people are driving into their 80s and 90s. This has led to increased traffic accidents for older drivers, although the total number of accidents is decreasing.
Last year, the elderly were involved in 55 percent of Japan's traffic accidents.
To deal with the problem, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry launched a program to support safety technologies. The program provides a logo that manufacturers can use to identify cars with the new safety aids. People buying such cars can save on accident insurance.
The safety technology may only increase the popularity of Japan's Kei-cars.

L'hôtel d'Orsigny ou hôtel Durfort est un ancien hôtel particulier, situé au , place Vendôme, dans le  de Paris.

Construit par l'architecte Jacques V Gabriel, de 1719 à 1721, pour le financier John Law de Lauriston puis pour Jacques-Daniel de Gueutteville d'Orsigny. Il abrite, avec l'hôtel de Coëtlogon au , l'hôtel Bristol, de 1840 à 1914. La société d'informatique IBM France s'y installe de 1948 à 1989.

Il appartient, depuis 1989, à Hassanal Bolkiah, sultan de Brunei.

Situation
L'hôtel est situé au sud de la place et est mitoyen de l'hôtel de Coëtlogon au  et de l'hôtel Lebas de Montargis au .

Histoire
En 1703, l'architecte Pierre Bullet achète le terrain, qu'il revend non-bâtit, au financier John Law de Lauriston en 1718.

En 1719, l'hôtel est construit par l'architecte Jacques V Gabriel, mais reste néanmoins inachevé lorsqu'il est revendu, en 1720, à Jacques-Daniel de Gueutteville d'Orsigny, qui en achève la construction l'année suivante.

En 1744, Étienne Le Texier de Menetou, receveur général des finances, l'acquiert, puis l'hôtel passe en héritage, en 1777, à son petit-fils, Félicité Jean Louis de Durfort, ambassadeur de France à Venise.

En 1788, l'hôtel est vendu au banquier Guillaume Sabatier d'Espeyran, que sa sœur, Marie, revend, à la suite de son décès, en 1808, à Henri Bouchon.

La veuve de ce dernier se sépare de l'hôtel en 1839, où Roger Monlenard, l'acquiert conjointement au , les fait communiquer et fonde l'année suivante, l'hôtel Bristol.

Cet hôtel, reçoit, avec l'hôtel du Rhin, sis dans les actuels  et  de la place, toutes les têtes couronnées de l'époque, comme : le roi Édouard VII en 1909, le prince Alexandre de Serbie, ou encore le roi Charles Ier de Portugal qui y descend une dernière fois en novembre 1907 avant son décès le . L'hôtel ferme ses portes en 1914, à l'aube de la Première Guerre mondiale.

Les deux hôtels sont vendus en 1919, à la société foncière de la place Vendôme, qui loue l'ensemble à la Banker's Trust Company, jusqu'en 1940. Des travaux d'envergure sont engagés en 1920, sous la houlette de l'architecte Charly Knight.

D'octobre 1948 à 1989, l'hôtel est loué à la société d'informatique IBM France.

En 1989, les deux hôtels sont vendus à Hassanal Bolkiah, sultan de Brunei, qui y fait réaliser de nombreux travaux d'aménagement, notamment par l'architecte d'intérieur, Jacques Garcia, qui, grâce à cette réalisation, s'offre le château de Champs-de-Bataille en 1992.

Trés rarement habité, les deux édifices sont encore aujourd'hui la propriété du sultan de Brunei. Ils font également partie des rares hôtels de place à être exclusivement « bourgeois », ne possédant aucun locaux commerciaux au rez-de-chaussée.

Protection
L'hôtel est classé partiellement aux monuments historiques, pour ses façades et toitures, par arrêté du .

What Are Mike Pence's Views On Abortion? The Governor Has Strong Feelings
by Leah Rocketto
With the Republican National Convention less than a week away, the big quesiton on many minds is who will Donal Trump choose as his running mate. Today, it was widely reported that the republican party nominee would be choosing Indiana Governor Mike Pence to serve as his vice president, should he be elected into office. And with that rumor comes a lot of questions about Pence, from who is his wife to what are Mike Pence's views on abortion. Though the former is more out of curiosity, the answer to the ladder could have an affect on how people vote come November.
UPDATE: Trump confirmed Pence as his vice presidential running mate in a tweet Friday morning and said he would host a news conference on Saturday.
Given Pence's party alignment, it should come as no surprise that the governor is strongly pro-life. Since being elected into office in 2013, Pence has spent the better part of his term trying to amend abortion laws in Indiana. His mission came to head this March when Pence signed a new abortion bill into law, amplifying the already strict abortion laws in the state. The bill, referred to as House Bill 1137, passed both chambers of the Republican-controlled General Assembly with large majorities.
In short, the House Bill 1137 limits women's access to abortion in the state and restricts doctors' ability to help those seeking an abortion. Some of the more standout regulations from the bill, which can be found on the Indiana General Assembly's website include:
Provides for disciplinary sanctions and civil liability for wrongful death if a person knowingly or intentionally performs a sex selective abortion or an abortion conducted because of a diagnosis or potential diagnosis of Down syndrome or any other disability.
Provides that a written agreement between a physician performing an abortion and a physician who has written admitting privileges at a hospital in the county or contiguous county concerning the management of possible complications of the services must be renewed annually.
Makes it a Level 5 felony to unlawfully: (1) transfer; and (2) collect fetal tissue. Establishes an exemption for the criminal penalty of unlawful use of an embryo if the transfer or receipt of a fetus was requested in writing by a biological parent for purposes of an autopsy.
According to The New York Times, Pence said he signed the bill because, "a society can be judged by how it deals with its most vulnerable — the aged, the infirm, the disabled and the unborn."
Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images News/Getty Images
The bill sparked a bit of outrage from opponents, who argue that the new laws force women to endure potentially high risk pregnancies. In an effort to shock (and potentially scare) Pence into reversing the bill, the group "Periods For Pence" was formed. With more than 51,000 members to day, the group features graphic stories about women's periods in an effort to drive home the fact that the government does not and should not have a say in what a woman does to her body.
It is not clear yet how Pence's views will line up with those of Trump, who has been inconsistent with his opinion on abortion. According to The New York Times, Trump has offered at least five different opinions on abortion, ranging from pro-choice views in 1999 to his most recent views that we should protect the unborn. Should Trump choose Pence as his running mate, it'll be interesting to see how this issue plays out.

WPP Agency SET Restructures Leadership, Appoints Alasdair Lloyd-Jones to CEO
WPP experience agency SET has reshaped its leadership team, elevating current President/CSO Alasdair Lloyd-Jones to the role of CEO, while Founder Sabina Teshler and COO Kurt Kujovich will assume the titles of Chairman and President, respectively.
The pivotal management move reflects SET's steady evolution from a production design and execution shop to a full-scale brand/retail strategy, experience ideation and design, and retail activation agency. "What clients are seeking is a more holistic view on how their brands can transform into experience-led brands," Lloyd-Jones explains. "We decided now was a good time to establish a leadership structure that enables us to communicate the power of experiences to propel every part of a brand's business and drive the development of SET to align to clients' evolving needs."
As SET CEO, Lloyd-Jones will now oversee a network that spans Portland, Los Angeles, New York and London and collaborates on inventive, immersive experiences and activations for top-tier brands such as Nike, Sprite, Verizon and BMW. While his primary focus will be on delivering high-level work and developing talent across functions, the SET chief exec also places top priority on accelerating growth for clients by aligning their brand strategy to how they resonate physically with consumers through activations, retail stores or live events.
As he eases into his new CEO role, Lloyd-Jones acknowledges the challenges that lie ahead in clarifying and extolling the value of brand experience. "The toughest challenge we face is the adoption of the language of brand experience by all types of agencies," he says. "It reminds me of the early days of the digital era where many costly mistakes were experienced and this slowed the progress of digital adoption among marketers. Our job is to ensure clients get the expertise they need when they make the leap into this space. It's bigger than us alone, so we want to ensure that the category is well-served and its growth is sustained."
After spending nearly two decades holding top strategic and planning positions at renowned traditional and digital agencies including Big Spaceship, Cutwater, Ogilvy and Publicis, the new SET CEO was drawn to the experience agency as it offered him the chance to essentially "unlearn" what worked in the past while applying some approaches he had learned along the way. "What I did bring to SET as an immediate asset was an understanding of how to function across multiple geographies and how to run a company going through rapid growth and being of a size that requires different systems and processes," he recalls. "Still, my background has been largely defined by traditional advertising and digital, so the last three years have been a tremendous learning period. Having gone through this, though, I feel I'm better positioned to help clients make that journey to transform their own thinking."
Regarding Lloyd-Jones's appointment to CEO, SET Founder Teshler adds, "As SET continues to experience exponential growth, we couldn't be happier to have Alasdair lead the company. With his extensive industry experience, creativity and strategic ingenuity, he is an ideal fit to fill the position of chief executive and guide SET moving forward."
About SET:
We are a global creative agency made up of designers, architects, and strategists, driven to create deep connections between brands and audiences through concept-driven experiences, primarily in the physical realm.
