Colorado Ski Visits Down 11%
According to The Colorado Springs Business Journal ski visits across the state of Colorado are down 11.5% so far this season, compared to the same period last year. The Journal sites the lack of snow and late openings for many Colorado resorts as major factors in the drop of skier traffic.
"First period is largely fueled by in-state visitors, and an unseasonably warm October and November kept many Coloradans from tallying lots of ski days" said Melanie Mills, president and CEO of Colorado Ski Country USA, a nonprofit industry group that represents several of the state's largest ski resorts. "Snow did not arrive in earnest until mid-December."
Despite the slow start, ski areas saw a strong holiday period with conditions more in line with an average year. The New Year started with storms, which bodes well for the rest of the season, she said.
"There is some real buoyancy in the indicators for the months ahead. February and March hotel bookings are pacing ahead of last year by 3.5 percent and 8.6 percent respectively," Mills said. "Carnival and Easter are well-timed for ski visitation this year and Colorado's traditional snowier months lie ahead.".

Colorado Revenue Continues to Grow, Economists Say
Colorado's economy continues to outperform expectations, spurred on by tax revenue from stock sales, although unemployment remains high, state economists told lawmakers Monday. The state's tax receipts are expected to be $548.2 million, or 7.1 percent higher, this budget year than the prior year, according to Gov. John Hickenlooper's economists. The latest quarterly forecast from state economists touched on familiar trends of past reports: Colorado's economy is outperforming the national economy, but there remains caution because of the revenue growth is driven by taxes on one-time stock sales. "We have clue after clue that what we're dealing with is volatile revenue stream," said Henry Sobanet, Hickenlooper's budget director. With the adjusted revenue numbers from December, the state's general fund is expected to be $8.3 billion for the fiscal year that began in July. The general fund now exceeds the pre-Great Recession peak of $7.7 billion in 2007. The quarterly forecast released Monday afternoon will play a key role in the upcoming debate over the budget, especially as lawmakers debate an overhaul of the state's system to fund schools. Lawmakers typically give final approval to the budget next month. State legislative economists also delivered a separate forecast to lawmakers Monday with a similar outlook of cautious optimism for the state. "I believe it is the spring of this recovery. However, know that storms can still happen in the spring," said Natalie Mullis, the Legislature's chief economist.

Telluride's Real Estate Recovery
After a half decade of strong real estate sales, the Telluride real estate market peaked in 2006 and 2007. During this peak more homes, condos and lots were sold at higher prices than ever before. Nearly every segment of the regional real estate market established a new high mark in either 2006 or 2007. This rising tide lifted Telluride, Mountain Village, Aldasoro and the Mesas.
When the national economy began its historic recession in 2008, the Telluride real estate market followed suit. The impact of the recession took its toll in the regional market with a breathtaking fall off in the number of transactions and an unprecedented softening of property prices.
While the recession kicked into full gear, second homebuyers sat on the sidelines. Notably, the bellwether segment of single family homes in the Town of Telluride fell from 33 homes sales in 2007 to only 10 home sales in 2009. In Mountain Village, 85 condos were sold in 2006 while only 36 were sold in 2009. Buyers across the nation deemed it too risky to wade into the Telluride market. While many sellers chose to wait out the storm, some sellers found themselves in a position where they had to sell. The lack of demand from second homebuyers led to a level of illiquidity that forced these sellers to significantly reduce prices to find a buyer. This reduction in prices marked the first true period of price softening in memory.
Telluride Real Estate Sales Surge in August
This is an interesting analysis of August's Real Estate numbers from the Telluride Daily Planet.
After a slower than average start to the year, real estate sales picked up in a big way in August. Through the first seven months of the year, the number of sales was down around 13 percent from 2012 while the dollar volume of sales was down 10 percent, according to numbers compiled by Telluride Consulting. But August brought a major boost; the number of sales for the month was up 23 percent from August of 2012 while the dollar volume was up 56 percent. With the August activity, the number of sales for the year is now down only 7 percent from last year and the dollar volume is back to even.
Local realtors are optimistic that things could pick up again in September, but say it's too early to predict. According to Judi Kiernan, who owns Telluride Consulting, the August numbers were a big boost for the year. "One month can make a huge difference because we are such a small market and the news [about August] is a big contrast to July," Kiernan said, but added that "one month does not a trend make. "I don't think there's actually a reason, I think it's as random as last month's poor performance," she said.
In all, 48 sales were made in August, up from 38 last year and it was best August since 2007. The dollar volume of the sales totaled $46.9 million, up from $30.1 million in August of 2012. It came on the heels of a poorly performing July, which saw 27 sales, down from 34 in July of 2012. The dollar volume for the month was down 43 percent compared with July of 2012, meanwhile. Kiernan said about $10 million of the August sales came from condominiums in Mountain Village and another $6.5 million came from land transfers in Telluride.
Sales Tax Revenues Continue to Grow
The Town of Telluride's sales tax revenues have continued their upward climb in 2013, a trend that could lead to a third consecutive year of record-breaking collections. According to numbers from the town, sales tax revenues were up every month from January through May (the most recent reports). Revenues were up over 2012 by 14.4 percent in January, 9.3 percent in March and 18 percent in April, and the town had collected $1.8 million by the end of May.
This comes on the heels of two excellent years of sales tax collections for the town, and it reflects what many say is a tourist economy growing stronger due to word of mouth, targeted marketing and new and bigger events. "We're busy, very busy, and that's a good thing," said Michael Martelon, president of the Telluride Tourism Board. "If summer finishes the way it [has been going], we will have three record seasons in a row."
Telluride's sales tax revenues began their upward climb in 2010. The town collected $4.03 million in 2009, $4.2 million in 2010, $4.37 million in 2011 and $4.5 in 2012 — the biggest year ever for the town.

2012-13 Skier Visits Creep Up by 4 Percent in Colorado
Colorado's ski areas hosted 11.4 million skier visits last season, a nearly 4 percent increase over the previous season's 11 million.
The 11.4 million mark, while an increase over the dismal and dry 2011-12 season, is the third-slowest season in the past decade, and the annual increase falls well below the national spike of 11 percent.
Colorado Ski Country USA, the trade group that represents 21 of the state's 25 ski areas, reported 6.4 million skier visits in 2012-13, an increase of 3.8 percent, or 235,000 skier visits, over 2011-12. Vail Resorts' four Colorado ski areas — Vail, Breckenridge, Keystone and Beaver Creek — saw about 5 million skier visits.
Colorado's 2012-13 season started slowly, with weak snow and local skiers staying home. Storms in late December and late spring fueled a rebound in visitation. But it wasn't enough to pull the state closer to the 12 million-skier-visit benchmark it reached in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2011.
Declining skier visits does not necessarily correlate to decreasing revenues, as evidenced by ski areas that saw increased revenues in 2011-12, which saw record declines in visitation.
South Fir Street Lots to be Developed
A key piece of property in downtown Telluride between the commercial core and the gondola may soon be developed. But what that development will look like remains to be seen.
Longtime locals Pamela Zoline and John Lifton (Lifton Zoline International) have partnered with the Los Angeles and Boulder-based real estate developers Meriwether Companies to purchase the South Fir Street properties from the estate of Joseph T. Zoline. The area, known as the "Four Corners," is at the intersection of South Fir Street and Pacific Avenue. It includes the west side of South Fir Street between Pacific and San Juan Avenue, as well as Fir north of Pacific where Village Market and Baked in Telluride stand. It also includes the lot on the southeast corner, next to the library.
Developers say they don't yet know what plans for the area will include, but they will be working closely with the Town of Telluride to see it to fruition. According to the town's masterplan, it has been identified as a site for public parking, arts, cultural and educational uses. But developers are not revealing details.
"What we know is that it will be planned as a very diverse mixed use and we know that we intend to make it a really lively part of downtown Telluride," Pamela Zoline said. Noah Hahn, a managing partner with Meriwether Companies, said he plans on meeting with town officials soon. Hahn said Meriwether has experience building in mountain resorts and understands what Telluride is about. "Authentic is the word we keep coming back to," Hahn said. "We are not trying to redefine Telluride in any way. We are going to build a project that is consistent with what Telluride is about."
Mayor Stu Fraser said the project will create an anchor in the downtown core where there is currently unused, but extremely valuable space. The town has formed a task force for the development of the area since the town owns the northeast parcel of the intersection. "It's a major part of the puzzle of downtown Telluride," Fraser said. "It will have tremendous importance to the future of Telluride. My feeling is it will be done extremely well. Whatever it is, it will benefit the community in a variety of ways."
Report Suggests Another Strong Year in Real Estate in Telluride
A new 28-year market analysis, recently published by Telluride Consulting, offers a detailed review of the Telluride region's cyclical real estate history and offers a positive outlook for 2013.
Statistics compiled in the report suggest a positive real estate trend will continue after a strong 2012.
For the first time since the real estate market took a plunge in 2008, in the region encompassing Telluride, Mountain Village and San Miguel County, 2012 delivered positive news in both the number of sales and the dollar volume of those sales. According to Telluride Consulting's Judi Kiernan, there was a 16 percent increase in the number of sales in 2012 and a 47 percent increase in the dollar volume of sales over the 2011 numbers.
For the past five years, the compound annual growth rate for the number of sales has increased 7 percent while the total dollar volume for those sales shows an annual growth rate of 2 percent. And despite a slow January, first quarter statistics indicate 2013 will be another positive year in both the number of sales and dollar volume of those sales. So far, 2013 sales and dollar volumes are close to first quarter statistics posted in 2012.
Real Housewives' Sonja Morgan Puts Her Colorado Ski Home on the Market for $9m
Sonja Morgan has made no secret of her money woes.
The 49-year-old ex-wife of J.P. Morgan heir John Morgan has listed her sprawling Telluride, Colorado dwelling at a not-so-modest price of $9.15 million. The couple divorced in 2006 and she's now selling the home in an effort to divide their assets and get on with her life. Sonja has complained on the show about her lack of ready cash, but if she gets a buyer and a price close to what she wants for her scenic retreat she might stop the lamenting.
The amazing property boasts 35 acres of rolling hills and breathtaking snow-capped mountain views. The house itself is 8,300 square feet of luxury from it's 35-foot-high ceilings to it's rustic hardwood floors. In what once was a 19th Century barn, the home boasts numerous other features including an observatory, a waterfall and a tennis court if one so feels inclined.
There's also quarters for a nanny, a must among the rich and famous, and a library for quiet, restful reading. The living area not only has lofty ceilings but an antler chandelier and wide windows offer views of the rugged countryside at every turn.

The Telluride Real Estate Market is Getting Its Edge Back
Like a new pair of Solomon Shogun skis, the Telluride real estate market is getting its edge back. The last few years have been slow, and like many real estate markets, Telluride's spectacular real estate value rise since the 1980's slowed to a crawl. Inventory increased and transactions were not keeping up with the supply. That is now changing. Transactions both in volume and dollar amounts have increased significantly in 2012. The town of Telluride is leading the charge with single family home sales. Condominium sales in the Mountain Village are picking up. The supply of competitively priced properties is shrinking. It is a Buyers market, but many property owners and sellers in the Telluride market have a limited amount of lender exposure on their properties, and this has given good price stability. There is still good value to be purchased, but as the properties are absorbed, new listings will most likely come with a higher asking price.
The commercial market is coming back. Lease rates are stable and vacancy rates are near zero for retail and 2%-3% for office. During the down turn, Telluride was blessed with good snow conditions and our visitor count was minimally affected. The summer season of course is packed with fun events, Bluegrass, Jazz, and Blue & Brews music festivals, and Mountain Film and Film Festival. The future is bright for Telluride and Telluride's real estate market. Come and enjoy our mountains.

The Best Parenting Books - Raising Resilient, Empathetic Kids
How to Raise a Leader by Frank Dixon
Creating the best parenting books for new and experienced parents, Frank Dixon joins us on the blog today, sharing his story and showing us how to raise successful and thriving children.
His new book, How to Raise a Leader: 7 Essential Parenting Skills for Raising Children Who Lead, is now available on Amazon and Audible in Audiobook Format.
"Raise children who are responsible, helpful, and lift up people to their highest potential to make the world a better place for us all." - Frank Dixon
Meet Author Frank Dixon
When his daughter was born in 2011, author Frank Dixon found himself searching for his life's purpose. Though he already had a knack for writing, it wasn't taking him in any one direction.
After spending time considering his life experiences, he realized he didn't want other people to grow up facing similar challenges as he during his complicated childhood.
It was at that time when he realized he could use his passion for writing to share his experience and teach and empower others. From there, he set out on a path to write the Best Parenting Book series, which now includes over fourteen books for parents, focusing on topics that encourage positivity, communication and transparency in the family unit. These books are relevant for parents of kids as young as preschool through the teen years.
Frank's books are easy-to-read, fluff-free books that offer actionable advice and proven strategies for readers to see success in their lives. He wants readers to have an overall better parenting experience and be able to build a functional and effective family unit, while raising kids who grow up to be successful and flourishing adults.
Frank Dixon believes that the world is made up of those who follow and those who lead. He shares with us that while "most people are followers, every person is capable of becoming a great and effective leader."
During 2020, when every single one of us was faced with major challenges, the entire world suffered tremendously. Dixon's book, 7 Essential Parenting Skills for Raising Children Who Lead, is aimed at starting a transformation, providing parents with skills and knowledge to set kids up for success, so that the world can heal and recover faster from some of those challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and a rise in hate crimes.
Dixon shares "Leaders get criticized, are under pressure and it's not an easy title to carry; however, this world needs more leaders to steer humanity in the right direction." His book teaches parents to raise kids who are honest, empathetic, resilient individuals who have strong communication skills and are ready to take charge of their own lives.
The book talks about the top seven leadership skills parents can teach their kids, how to instill a positive mindset, and how to teach kids how to overcome obstacles with ease. It helps parents raise children who are ready to take responsibility for their actions and bounce back from mistakes so that they can live to their fullest potential.
As an author, his biggest challenge has been deciding how to solve his audience's problems and tactfully decide which topics to focus on. He has seen tremendous growth and expansion, which has been exciting for him. His proudest accomplishment in life has been the birth of his daughter, who is a tremendous source of inspiration to Dixon, and brings him such happiness.
For anyone looking to write a book, Frank encourages you to "find your inspiration, discover your passion and stick with it." Though it can sometimes feel like a long process, it is well worth it. "Be patient with yourself and when you have the inspiration for thoughts and ideas always write them down and keep them as organized as possible so you can refer back to them." He advises authors to write about topics that bring them to life and excite them, and shares that, when your heart isn't fully invested, the writing process becomes more of a chore.
Frank is inspired by books including All Things That Arise Must Converge by Flannery O'Connor, The Whole-Brain Child by Daniel J. Siegel MD and Tina Payne Bryson PhD, Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson, and 13 Things Strong Kids Do by Amy Morin.
When he is not writing, you can find him hiking, swimming, reading, watching movies, playing sports, listening to comedy, and spending time with friends and family.
Every child is a leader in the making.

Class-leading performance, unrivalled flexibility – Canon launches three new lenses
United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, 7th February 2012 – Canon today adds to its world-famous EF lens series with the launch of three new lenses for photography professionals and enthusiasts. The new EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM professional zoom lens is an update to the popular EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM, while the new EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM and EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM are the world's first¹ wide-angle prime lenses to feature optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology. All three provide the highest levels of performance for modern digital photographers, combining premium image quality with durable, user-friendly designs.
EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM: the ultra-high performance standard zoom
The new EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM features completely redesigned optics to provide outstanding clarity, image quality and durability. A compact design makes it ideal for carrying on every shoot, and a range of optical enhancements provide improved performance – capturing greater detail across the frame while reducing distortion throughout the entire zoom range, particularly at the maximum 70mm focal length.
With a redesigned optical system that includes two Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) and one Super UD aspheric elements to minimise chromatic aberration and colour blurring, the lens delivers consistently sharp, high-contrast images. Each lens element also features Canon's optimised Super Spectra coatings to reduce ghosting and flare and ensure excellent colour balance. Additionally, a fluorine coating minimises the amount of dust, dirt and fingerprints that adhere to the front and rear of the lens, helping to maintain superior image quality.
The EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM also enables photographers to capture their subjects up close, with a minimum focusing distance of 0.38m at all focal lengths throughout the zoom range. A ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) works in combination with a high-performance CPU and advanced AF algorithms to ensure accurate, silent and ultra-responsive autofocus. For those who prefer to maintain full control in every shot, full-time manual focusing allows photographers to precisely tweak or alter the focus of their shot at any time, even when AF is engaged.
Distinguished L-series design
The EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is the latest lens from the elite L-series to offer Canon's high-grade and user-focused design enhancements. The mechanical structure of the lens has been improved to offer enhanced zoom durability and greater shake and shock resistance within the lens barrel. The size of the lens has also been reduced by 10mm compared to the previous model, providing enhanced portability and greater convenience in everyday use. A new Zoom Lock lever also enables photographers to lock the zoom position at the extreme wide end to prevent damage to the lens in transit, while a water and dustproof construction² enables users to continue shooting in harsh conditions.
Introducing the world's first wide-angle primes with IS
Canon today also launches the new EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM and EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM – the world's first 24mm and 28mm fixed wide-angle lenses to feature optical IS technology. Ideal for landscape and reportage, both lenses offer outstanding flexibility allowing photographers to shoot an even broader range of scenes and subjects – combining fast apertures with IS to enable sharp results when shooting handheld, even in low light conditions.
Offering an advantage of up to 4-stops over lenses without IS, both lenses are ideal for capturing more of the scene thanks to their wider focal lengths. Both feature a wide f/2.8 aperture, allowing photographers to explore shallow depth of field, or to shoot in lower-light conditions. Wide apertures and IS technology also make each lens ideal for shooting fast-moving subjects, while Canon's advanced IS technology is able to detect intentional panning movement and automatically switch from Normal IS mode to Panning IS mode – helping users to capture movement with greater accuracy.
Silent, high-speed AF performance is provided by the inclusion of a ring-type USM and additional features including optimized AF control. Full-time manual focusing also ensures adjustments can be made even when AF is engaged, while a minimum focusing distance of 0.20m (EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM) and 0.23m (EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM) allows photographers to get even closer to smaller or more detailed subjects.
Designed to perform
Both the EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM and EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM feature redesigned optics to improve image quality and reduce the need for post-production. An aspherical glass moulded (GMo) lens element is incorporated to correct aberration throughout the optical system, while Canon's optimised Super Spectra Coatings reduce ghosting and flare for stand-out image quality. Externally, both models also boast a number of design similarities with Canon's professional L-series lenses, with a similar coating on the barrel and a similar design on the focus ring. A distance scale is also included to assist with landscape photography, while the compact design makes these lenses an unobtrusive addition to any kit bag.
EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM – key features
All-new optical design delivers exceptional sharpness
Ultra-low dispersion (UD) and super UD elements
Fast f/2.8 maximum aperture
Sealed against dust and moisture
Fast, silent ultrasonic autofocus

Domino's Pizza and Carryout Insurance
Dominoes are a family of tile-based games. Also known as gaming pieces, dominoes are rectangular tiles with two square ends. Each end is marked with a number of spots. Using the correct number of spots to complete a row of dominoes wins the game. Various rules and variations exist for the game.
The basic rules of domino are simple, and they apply to both players. To play, a player chooses a tile and places it on the game board face up. Next, he or she draws another tile, and the player must match one of the end tiles with the end tile in the opposite hand. Eventually, a player will have two points if they have no doubles.
The domino game is believed to have originated in France and was brought to England by French prisoners of war. From there, it spread throughout Europe and North America. It has also been traced to Inuit, who played with bone-like objects, prior to the invention of decks of cards. Over the centuries, this game has evolved into many varieties, including a five-up version.
There are many different variations of dominoes. The most basic variant is played with two players. The players select seven tiles from a set of double-six tiles, which has 28 total tiles. The player with the highest score wins the hand. The player with the most tiles plays first, and the other player draws from the remaining tiles.
There are several variations of domino, each with its own set of rules. The objective is to collect all tiles with the same number, and to keep track of the line of play. Some variations allow doubles to be placed anywhere, while others require the doubles to form a line of play. In general, the player with the highest score wins.
Ending Domino has a chaotic and fast-paced style that helps convey the chaotic life of its title character. The film is shot with a handheld camera, and all action scenes are shot fast and with only a glimpse of the characters' faces. The images flicker and blur as they cut rapidly. The fast pace can even cause motion sickness.
Andrew is a successful lawyer who travels a lot. He and Lola are both connected by the way they watch Lola, and Andrew feels a connection with the girl. Andrew even knows what scares her most, and he kisses her when she holds back during a late-night conversation. Later, Andrew notices that Domino's fiance has returned home from Chicago.
Domino's carryout insurance program is available for people who order pizza via carryout. The plan covers damages to the pizza while it's being transported and within the short window that a carryout order has to be picked up. The company offers three different types of coverage: replacement pizzas, replacement bread, and replacement salads.
This type of insurance is only applicable for orders that were delivered by Domino's. To claim the insurance, customers must return the damaged order to the Domino's store within two hours of delivery. The damaged product will be replaced with the same item, or an identical product. However, carryout insurance is only available for a limited time.
Domino as a platform for data science
Domino is a platform that helps data scientists and teams collaborate across the enterprise. Its capabilities include environment management, scalable compute, and tools to deploy and publish models. By centralizing all of this work, organizations can ensure consistency, improve collaboration, and increase their return on investment. Domino allows data scientists to work faster and efficiently.
Domino 5.2, the latest version of the platform, aims to simplify data science teams' workflows and increase the amount of models they can deploy.

This week, we were delighted to welcome Dr Syed Kamall MEP, the most senior British politician in the European Parliament, for the latest in our series of #LutherNetwork events.
Kamall began by setting out what the Government hoped to achieve in the negotiations. These aims include providing certainty for British businesses, securing the rights of EU and UK migrants and achieving a fairer immigration system. He expressed his confidence that Theresa May, whilst holding her cards close, would be able deliver a successful negotiation, arguing that her time as Home Secretary has left her with a good understanding of Brussels and strong relationships with many of her European counterparts.
He outlined his own role as Chair of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group in Brussels, explaining that the political priority of his group was to challenge the view that the future of the EU is simply more integration. Kamall also told guests about his role as a channel between the UK Government and other European officials, helping to foster understanding ahead of the Brexit negotiations. As a representative for London, Kamall's current work is focused on helping British businesses and other stakeholders engage with EU institutions as the capital looks towards its post-Brexit relationship.
Guests also discussed the relationships between the UK Government and other key players in the negotiations to leave the EU, as well as the role that would be played by the European Parliament and leaders of the EU27 in helping to inform those. Kamall spoke about the ambitions of the other EU states, including what they hoped to gain from Britain's decision to leave the EU, as well as their concerns for the future of the EU project.
Another key theme was the role of the United States, its relationship with EU and what a new US/ UK trade relationship might look like. Kamall believes that the White House and Republicans in Congress are positively disposed towards the UK and eager to begin looking at a new trading agreements as soon as possible.
Our thanks go to Syed and our guests for joining us.

Q: How do I calculate the day between start date and end date using COT Currently I'm using Code On Time to develop my system.
I got a default current date and time, after the user selects a completed date from lookup, I want to calculate how many days and hours have been taken by the user.
Is there any way to do this?

A: Is this what you're after?
declare @dateTimeNow datetime = getutcdate()
, @dateTimeThen datetime = '2012-11-28 12:00:00'

select case when DATEPART(hour,(@dateTimeNow - @dateTimeThen)) >0 then day(@dateTimeNow - @dateTimeThen)-1 else day(@dateTimeNow - @dateTimeThen) end days
, DATEPART(hour,(@dateTimeNow - @dateTimeThen)) hours

or
select DATEDIFF(day,@datetimethen, @datetimenow) - case when (DATEDIFF(Hour,@datetimethen, @datetimenow)) % 24 = 0 then 0 else 1 end  days
, DATEDIFF(hour,@datetimethen, @datetimenow) % 24 hours

I showed a preview of the new Dior collection, State of Gold, a couple of days ago HERE and today I have some swatches of the items I got.
Dior new collection is all about gold and luxury. The products of this collection are housed in Dior iconic and festive holiday packaging, which is absolutely stunning and would make perfect Christmas gifts.
I will start with the swatches of Dior State of Gold nail polish. State of Gold is a mixture of gold and silver glitters suspended in a clear base. The gold glitters are larger than the silver ones and there are also some multicolored and super sparkly microglitters.
For this manicure, I used Dior Nuit D'Etoiles/Sparkling Blueberry on my index and pinky. On the other nails, I applied a coat of black nail polish and then did a gradient with State of Gold. I wore this manicure for a whole week, I loved it so much. I love that the glitters are not too big, they are the perfect size, they lay flat on the nails and don't feel gritty.
Then we have the new Diorific lipsticks and they are...matte! I'm really really happy to see Dior releasing matte lipsticks! I want them part of the permanent line!
The formula is packed with nourishing oils to offer comfort and hydration. On the lips, you can definitely feel that they are moisturizing and super comfortable to wear. They absolutely don't dry the lips, which is something that often happens with matte lipsticks. On the contrary they are rather creamy. They don't dry as matte as MAC retro matte lipsticks for example but dry to a satin/semi-matte finish, which is gorgeous.
The one I have is Diorific Mat 770 Fantastique, a super bright fuchsia. At first I thought this would be a cool-toned pink but after comparing it with a few other pink lipsticks I have, I think it's more on the neutral side (at least it's a bit warmer than YSL Rouge Pur Couture Mat 208).
It's fully opaque and creamy. It applies with no dragging or pulling. It lasts about 5-6 hours and it stains the lips nicely. It looks absolutely beautiful on lips.
Finally I have the 5 Couleurs Palette in 576 Eternal Gold. The palette is described as made of "soft tones complimented by dazzling black and golden shades of iridescent white."
Personally I highly recommend one of the Diorific Mat lipsticks because they are creamy, matte, so comfortable to wear and absolutely stunning! I also love the glittery nail polish in State of Gold. It's perfect for the holidays but also gorgeous all year round!


While Verizon Wireless and Motorola just unveiled the Droid by Motorola last week, Motorola' second Android smartphone (and the first to run Android 2.0/Eclair), it seems to be confirmed now that the Motorola Droid's GSM/UMTS sister-version will hit O2 Germany soon as the Motorola Milestone. And while neither Motorola nor O2 Germany have lost an official word about the Milestone yet, the Global Certification Forum just confirmed the Motorola Milestone and confirmed that O2 Germany's 3rd Android smartphone (and the first with a slide-out keyboard) will feature quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE as well as dualband UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA at 900/2100 MHz.
Furthermore, according to a revealed O2 Germany price list, the Motorola is expected to be launched on November 9th and should retail for something around 404.20 Euro (most likely without VAT and contract). However, we've just heard that the launch might be slightly delayed.


Player eligibility is governed by Archdiocese and regional CYO rules.
Parish pastors may require players who attend a non-Catholic school to attend their parish PREP program.
- If other parish's CYO does not offer a sport that we offer, and that CYO is not affiliating with another CYO for that sport. In this case, a letter of permission must be obtained from the player's home parish pastor, and permission from the administrating pastor of Holy Family CYO. Contact us at info@hfscyo.com for details.
Please contact us before registering for a sport if you are not certain about eligibility.


On Feb. 5, 2014, people of the Dong ethnic group took part in a group singing and dancing activity in Baoli Village of Rongjiang County, southwest China's Guizhou Province. Dong People has the tradition to celebrate the Spring Festival with singing and dancing.
As one of the ethnic minority groups in China, the Dong people are believed to be the descendants of the ancient Guyue people. With a population of 2.6 million, Dong people are mainly distributed in eastern Guizhou, western Hunan, and northern Guangxi. The Grand Song is a kind of folk music and also a cultural treasure of the Dong people. It is a distinctive form of artistic expression in China. Performed without any help of musical instruments, it is similar to a cappella in the Western countries. Besides, the Grand Song is performed a huge group of people without the benefit of a conductor, which is featured by the complex structure and the rapid changes in rhythm of the chorus. Besides, the songs may be solo or chorus with multiple voice parts.

ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement Officers Seize 700 Chickens Housed in Brooklyn Garage
NEW YORK—Humane Law Enforcement agents with The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals® (ASPCA®) are investigating a possible case of animal cruelty in which hundreds of chickens were discovered in a garage at 18th Avenue and 52nd Street in Brooklyn.
ASPCA investigators on Monday removed more than 700 chickens, housed in shallow crates, and took them to the ASPCA's 92nd Street headquarters where they will be evaluated by veterinary staff at the ASPCA's Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital.
"It's not illegal to have chickens in New York City, but the conditions under which these were kept could be illegal," said Joseph Pentangelo, assistant director of the ASPCA's Humane Law Enforcement Division. Pentangelo noted that the physical state of all of the chickens had not yet been evaluated, but some were found dead.
The investigation has just begun and remains open. No arrests have been made.

Q: how to count search tweet per minute? lets say i need to know how much people are search "something" per minute.
example 123 people is tweeting "something" per minute

is there a way doing this?
Thank you for looking in
Adam Ramadhan

A: Your best bet will be to use Twitters streaming API. I've made a simple PHP wrapper around it (tweetstream, requires PHP 5.3). It's absolutely not finished but it should give you some ideas.
Using the Streaming API let's you track tweets containing defined keywords. Just insert those tweets into a database along with the posted time. From there it's trivial to do your calculations.
Example usage:
$streamer = new TweetStream();
$streamer->setCredentials('your username', 'your password');
$streamer->setCallback(function($message) {
    $message = sprintf('%s says: %s', $message->user->screen_name, $message->text);
    mysql_query('INSERT INTO tweets(message, timestamp) VALUES(.., ..)');
});
$streamer->track('something');

A: The best I can give you, if you already have code pulling in the tweets for the search term, is to setup a database and store the tweets in, with a timestamp. Then you just have to do a simple query and pull out the start time from the first entry, and the end time from the last entry and the number of twitter entries for that item.
From there you just calculate by taking the number of tweets, divided by the number of minutes. And viola, you have your Tweets per minute. For more information on how to pull tweets, see the Twitter API Documentation.

A: Not sure if a Stream(SQL) implementation exists for PHP -- or, if your language requirement is flexible -- but I implemented something similar recently using Esper/JRuby/TweetStream using the info in this article:

Q: How to cancel push notification in iOS I'm developing a notification application. User can enter bills with the due date. After that on the due date it'll show a notification. If user press cancel it should not display again.
I used [app cancelLocalNotification:oneEvent]; in the cancel button event. But when it become from background state to foreground that notification still coming. How can I stop this when it comes to foreground after user clicking the cancel button.

A: Once a push request has been sent to the Apple Push Notification servers, thats it. It disappears into their system and they will then try to deliver it on a 'best effort' basis. You receive no feedback about its status or any ability to change/delete it.
So , there is no way you can manipulate sent notifications as far as I know.

«Твердиня» — другий трилер та восьма художня книга українського письменника й мандрівника Макса Кідрука. Роман написаний у жанрі психотрилер/пригодницький трилер.

Група з п'ятьох студентів дізнається про легендарне місто Пайтіті та вирушає на канікулах на його пошуки в Перу. Згідно з легендами, там індіанці в давнину заховали незліченні скарби. Але також легенди стверджують, що звідти ніхто не повертався живим.

Сюжет
Компанія з п'ятьох студентів Королівського технологічного університету Стокгольма, яка складається з українця Левка Бартоша (Лео), росіянина Семена Твардовського (Сьоми), американця Ґрема Келлі, чеха Яна Фідлера та японки Сатомі Хігенорі, закінчує навчання. Вони не можуть вирішити куди податись на літніх канікулах 2012 року. Почувши суперечку щодо цього від Лео і Сьоми в пабі Стокгольму, старий художник Ґуннар Іверс запрошує хлопців до себе додому. Хвилюючись і поспішаючи, він розповідає про цивілізацію інків і про руїни, які деякими істориками випадково приписуються цій цивілізації, але за своєю технологічністю ніяк не могли бути побудовані ними. Художник також переповідає легенду про загублене місто Пайтіті, показує розмиту фотографію невідомих руїн у сельвасах і дає карту, намальовану від руки, яка нібито веде до того місця. Після деяких вагань хлопці вирішують податися друзями на пошуки інкської твердині. Левко переконує решту, що Пайтіті — це залишки цивілізації, досягнення котрої інки присвоїли собі, коли завоювали її.

Тим часом у Перу знаходять розтерзані трупи зниклої британської експедиції. Згодом і Ґуннара звіряче вбивають у майстерні. Не знаючи про це, компанія вирушає в Перу, назустріч невідомому. Та одразу ж по прибуттю в Перу їх супроводжують невдачі. Спершу канадець Едді, з яким вони знайомляться в місцевому барі, ледве не помирає через алергію на капсаїцин, що містився в балончику, котрий планували взяти для оборони від звірів. Потім човняр-індіанець Атаучі навідріз відмовляється везти групу, не пояснивши в чому справа. Зрештою друзі купують його катер і вирушають по річці самотужки. Вони слідують за картою та зупиняються на нічліг. Та вночі крізь табір проходять вогняні мурахи, жалячи групу та поїдаючи майже всі припаси. До того ж карта таємниче зникає, а Семен випадково втрачає її копію. Друзі наважуються продовжити подорож попри все. Вони знаходять ущелину, завалену людськими черепами, що веде в тупик. Виснажені та розчаровані, друзі вирішують повернутися та натрапляють на хатину скандинавця Тора Сандерса. Той, як з'ясовується, має лист від Ґуннара. В ньому говориться, що Левко та Семен повинні розшукати Пайтіті. Зі слів Ґуннара, на шляху туди може ввижатися те, чого немає. Левко, Семен, Ґрем, Ян і Сатомі розуміють з доданої карти, що пішли фальшивим шляхом, а справжній — це непомітна стежина. Тож вони, відпочивши в Тора, звертають туди.

Натрапивши на покинуту злітну смугу, група лишає там записку на випадок, якщо не повернеться до 18 серпня. Джунглі огортає туман, у якому щокілька годин лунає дивний дзвін. Левко розшифровує, що дзвін передає азбукою Морзе «get away» — «забирайтеся». Згодом у тумані група бачить ходячого мерця, але перцевий балончик змушує його втекти. Вночі хтось нападає на табір, Сатомі тікає та губиться в джунглях. Вирушивши на її пошуки, Левко та Ґрем знаходять поставлений кимось для залякування труп невідомого чоловіка. Згодом Сатомі вдається знайти, але вона не пам'ятає що сталося за минулі 12 годин. Над джунглями пролітає гелікоптер, озброєння якого свідчить, що він не рятувальний. Семен випадково ламає собі ногу і Ян повертається аби знайти допомогу. Проте друзі розуміють, що ландшафт навколо штучний — схили гори насправді є стінами, складеними з велетенських камінних блоків. У цю мить групу оточують озброєні люди та, зв'язавши, забирають до Твердині, розташованій на горі.

Всередині Твердині виявляється загін охоронців, декілька вчених і американський археолог Джейсон Х'юз-Коулман, який досліджує Твердиню. Він наказує своєму поплічнику Амаро дізнатися в полонених як вони тут опинились. Коли вони розповідають свою історію, Левка, Ґрема, й Сатомі відправляють працювати на плантацію коки поблизу. Семен же, оскільки не може добре ходити, допомагає Джейсону в дослідженнях. Він виявляє, що на стінах містяться числа, записані вісімковою системою, та намагається з'ясувати що вони означають. Йому вдається розкрити, що ці числа спираються на константи природи, такі як число пі. Також, він потай пробирається вглиб Твердині, де виявляє склад таємничих каменів і барельєф Віракочі, відлитий з чистого золота.

Левко планує втечу і по трохи складає план Твердині. Він ділиться задумом про втечу з Семеном, але розуміє, що той не хоче тікати, поки не з'ясує таємниці Твердині. Семен розповідає про розшифровку чисел Джейсону — це список дат. Той радий відкриттю, проте не спускатися в Чорну кімнату Твердині вночі. Семен також починає задумуватися про втечу. Він виявляє у Твердині бруґмансію, квітки якої містять сильні галюцигени. Він пропонує аби Сатомі, котра допомагає на кухні, підкинула квіти в їжу охоронцям і поки вони будуть спантеличені галюцинаціями, друзям вдасться викрасти гелікоптер.

Левко спускається на мотузці нарвати квітів, але сам задурманюється ними та ледь не видає себе, заспівавши. Самтомі непритомніє від удару блискавки, а Ґрем мало не трапляється на очі охоронцеві, витягуючи Левка. Семен, скориставшись нагодою, пробирається до Чорної кімнати й переписує звідти список дат. Амаро підозрює про підготовку втечі, проте не покидає розслідування через ломку без кокаїну. Сатомі підкидає квіти в страву, та кухар Марко підозрює, що там отрута. Він розповідає про це Амаро, котрий не слухає, зайнятий прийомом наркотика. Марко іде самотужки розповісти про отруту в страві, але не враховує, що Сатомі також поклала її в чай, який вже всі встигли випити. Та ефект виявляється не тим, на яких очікували полонені — деякі охоронці падають без тями, тоді як інші стають гіперактивними. Зібравшись разом, Левко, Семен, Ґрем і Сатомі забирають свої речі та захоплюють гелікоптер. Ґрем думає сісти за штурвал, але на місці боїться, адже ніколи не пілотував. Група повертається та вирішує вибратися інших шляхом. Левко пропонує прийняти отруту, так відвівши від себе підозри.

Тим часом група дослідників натрапляє на записку, лишена на злітній смузі. Джейсон, який був у відльоті, повертається в Твердиню та бачить пожежу, що спалахнула через відсутність нагляду. Погасивши полум'я, він та його спільники вважають, що полонені студенти тут нідочого. Джейсон здогадується, що всіх у Твердині отруєно і зловмисники всередині. Марко розповідає, що винні студенти, та Джейсон не вірить йому і вважає, що сам Марко і був отруйником. У цей час дослідники, що виявили записку, наближаються на літаку. Джейсон наказує відкрити вогонь, але в результаті і літак і гелікоптер падають в джунглях.

Семен розповідає Джейсону, що розшифрував найтаємничіше число Твердині — це відношення маси протона до маси електрона. Джейсон пропонує працювати на нього та показує, що індіанці виливали Твердиню з розчину. Також він показує камені, сховані в стінах Твердині, здатні змінювати вагу навколишніх об'єктів. Всю Твердиню він порівнює з термітником, основна частина якого під землею. Згідно з його дослідженнями, хтось копав тунель з-під землі у Чорну кімнату Твердині, але зупинився, не завершивши справу. Довжина тунелю при цьому складає понад 19 км. Семен розшифровує дати й розуміє, що вони позначають події, коли відбувалася масова загибель людей: 11 вересня 2001 року, 26 грудня 2004 і так далі. Йому здається, що якесь світло виривається з тунелю, але Семен встигає втекти.

Амаро викрадає флешку Левка, де знаходить фото з Яном. Він допитується хто це і розбиває Семену череп. Джейсон за це застрелює Амаро. Між прибічниками Амаро й Джейсона стається перестрілка, в якій студенти тікають з Твердині та ховаються в джунглях.

Левку з Сатомі вдається відшукати свій пліт та дістатися до хатини Тора. Згодом вони зв'язуються з посольством і розповідають що сталося. Виявляється, що Ян зник, а Ґрем, як вважають вони, лишився в полоні. Це стає причиною міжнародного скандалу, через який США починає інтервенцію в Перу. Джейсон заміновує Твердиню та підриває її разом з собою, щоб поховати її скарби й таємниці. Його, втім, втішає, що подібних Твердинь ще є багато по світу.

Повернувшись до України, Левко стає відлюдькуватим. Він отримує посилку з речами Семена та починає розшифровувати записи. Левко пересвідчується, що всі дати з Твердині є датами масової загибелі. Він знаходить дату майбутньої події 27 січня 2013, того дня стається пожежа в Бразилії. Не бажаючи згадувати про що-небудь, пов'язане з Твердинею, Левко викидає аркуш з передбаченнями.

Історія створення

Максим Кідрук почав писати «Твердиню» ще до «Бота», проте потім відклав текст, вважаючи задум «Бота» ціліснішим. Отримавши схвальні відгуки від першого технотрилера, Кідрук взявся за доопрацювання «Твердині». З перших 60-и сторінок лишилася тільки розповідь Ґуннара Левку й Семену. Базисом для «Твердині» послугувала віра автора в те, що задовго до інків у Перу жила невідома і в той же час надзвичайно розвинута цивілізація. Ця віра зародилась після поїздок Кідрука до Мексики (2008) й Перу (2009) і остаточно викристалізувалась після мандрів Ліваном (2010). Втім, він ніколи не був у змальованих лісах Мадре-де-Діос, а описав їх за зразком півдня Мексики біля руїн Яшчилану, в Еквадорі (містечко Пуйо за Андами) та у Бразилії (Пантанал). Під час роботи над «Твердинею» професійних консультантів у автора не було, на відміну від «Бота». Персонаж Семен з книги є альтер-его самого Максима Кідрука.

Paddington Bear is the star of M&S Christmas advert
The family favourite stars in Marks and Spencer's Christmas advert
Abigail Rabbett
Paddington can be seen swapping his marmalade for marmite
The Twittersphere has been buzzing today (November 7) with delighted fans, tweeting about the brand new Marks and Spencer's Christmas advert which features one very familiar face.
The advert which is titled Love The Bear sees childhood favourite Paddington, save Christmas from the perils of a robber who threatens to steal all the presents.
This festive season, M&S has teamed up with a treasured British icon to create a truly special Christmas - as Paddington is unveiled as the star of Marks & Spencer's Campaign for 2017, which will launch with the hashtag, #LoveTheBear.
It's Christmas Eve at Windsor Gardens and Paddington is fast asleep. However, his dreams of marmalade are interrupted by a loud thud on the roof. Upon investigation, he stumbles upon a burglar and despite the burglar's protests that he is "not Santa" the determined and good-natured bear begins to 'help' him deliver the presents back to where they belong.
Seeing the good in everyone, Paddington innocently helps the burglar see the error of his ways and as they place presents into personalised stockings and pause for mince pies, he unknowingly averts a crisis and ensures a truly special moment for neighbour Alice, and a happy Christmas for all.
Twitter users responded very positively to the advert, with The Mirror branding the bear as an "unlikely festive hero."
Chris Cardew, tweeted: "Smashing M&S, Marmalade sandwiches all round for breakfast. #LovetheBear"
Flic Mikellides commented on Twitter: " Adore the M&S Christmas ad with Paddington, totally charming #LovetheBear"
In a first for M&S, the heart-warming story of the advert has been turned into a children's Christmas storybook available in stores and online for £3. All profits will be donated to the NSPCC to help fund its vital Childline service over the Christmas season.
The campaign retains the philosophy of M&S' 'Spend it Well' brand platform launched earlier this year - encouraging customers to focus on the people, experiences and things that matter to them most, something that is never more important than at Christmas.
Paddington, who is named after the famous area of London where M&S is also based, will take a lead role in helping the retailer create a series of special moments for its customers and the communities it serves through partnership activity.
The advert works in association with the new Paddington film which is being released into cinemas on November 10, and is set to rival the hotly anticipated John Lewis advert which spoilers reveal will feature a cuddly monster.
Last night, social media got a glimpse of the John Lewis offering as a three second clip captioned #UnderTheBed popped into users' feeds.
The three second clip sees nothing more than the tag line and a big pair of sparkling eyes emerging from the dark.
Megan Norris, thinks she's got this sussed, tweeting: "I'm calling it, the JL Christmas advert is about a monster who lives under your bed but isn't a monster, he's just misunderstood."
