Village Subway closes
The Subway sandwich shop at 7514 Girard Ave. closed without notice shortly before New Year's Day. According to a report on BusinessInsider.com, the sandwich chain has seen customer traffic decline 25 percent over the past five years. The report blamed consumers seeking "healthier, fresher food," as well as the 2015 scandal involving former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle, who is currently serving more than 15 years in prison on underage sex charges. Subway's U.S. store count dropped by 909 locations in 2017 (3 percent), almost three times as many closures as in 2016. La Jolla's two other Subway stores — at 2206 Torrey Pines Road and 9500 Gilman Drive — remain open.

Monsanto helps La Jolla Elementary do the robot
Friends of La Jolla Elementary has received a $10,000 grant from the Microbial Discovery & Testing team at the Monsanto San Diego Facility. Funds from the grant will help expand the school's robotics program to kindergarten through second grade. (A 2016 Monsanto grant enabled robotics education for students grades 3-5.)
"Students were so enthusiastic about working with robotics and learned so much that teachers were anxious to expand the program," said Principal Donna Tripi. "We hope this exposure to engineering practices will inspire our students to pursue careers in areas of computer science, science, and engineering that they may not have considered previously."
Enberg memorial March 10 at Petco Park
A public celebration Dick Enberg's life will be held 11 a.m. Saturday, March 10 at Petco Park. The longtime sports broadcaster, whose 60-year career included announcing for the Padres, died at 82 at his La Jolla home on Dec. 21. The public is invited to submit 60-second videos about Enberg, to be considered for inclusion in a tribute compilation screened at the event, to Tom Catlin (tomcatlin37@gmail.com).
Grand jury not grand enough
San Diego Superior Court reports a "record low" submission rate for the 2018/2019 grand jury, with only 56 county residents applying to serve. "It has gotten harder and harder each year to interest San Diegans in serving on this important panel," says Michael Roddy, executive officer of San Diego Superior Court. "We are trying determine why that is and how best to show people how important the grand jury is to a functioning democracy."
Grand jurors investigate citizen complaints and act as watchdogs over government agencies. The 19-member body works four days a week, approximately six hours a day, July 1-June 30 and receives a small daily stipend, mileage and free downtown parking. Applications are available by telephone (619) 450-7272, from the grand jury wbsite (sdcounty.ca.gov/grandjury) or in person at the new downtown Central Courthouse, 1100 Union St.
$5k Meals donation is wheel nice
La Jolla Meals on Wheels recently received a $5,000 donation from the Granger Foundation, a private Illinois concern. The grant will pay for meals delivered to low-income seniors. "We are grateful to the Granger Foundation for its generosity," said La Jolla Meals on Wheels program director Jane Semelsberger. "These meals are subsidized 100 percent by the organization due to the inability to pay by the clients."

"Business school students are bracing for an uncertain job market this coming school year as many traditional corporate recruiters shelve their usual fall hiring plans.
At a time of year when many business school students are polishing their networking skills and getting their business haircuts, a number of big companies, including consulting giant PricewaterhouseCoopers, say there will be no jobs on offer to second-year M.B.A. candidates, beyond those who interned this summer, looking to lock down a position before they graduate.
The murky job market has both students and schools worried. M.B.A. students can pay $200,000 or more to attend some of the most elite programs, once two years of living costs are factored in, for the promise of an accelerated career and higher salary. Schools market strong job-placement rates to prospective students; those rates ranged between 80% to 90% for many highly ranked programs before the pandemic hit.
PwC said it has no plans to hire up to 100 second-year M.B.A. students as it usually does each fall. This year, only those who had summer internships with the firm got job offers this month for positions that will start after graduation in the spring of 2021, said Rod Adams, the U.S. recruitment leader at the company.
"Those that have interned with us have generally performed better when they start full-time," he said. "You are not starting from ground zero."
Other companies say they are taking a wait-and-see approach. Consulting giant Bain & Co. is reducing the number of second-year M.B.A.s it plans to hire but has made offers to this summer's entire M.B.A. intern class, said Keith Bevans, a partner who leads recruiting for the firm. Because of job market uncertainty, Mr. Bevans said he expects a higher percentage of interns than usual to accept.
EY, one of the largest professional services firms in the world and the umbrella organization for its U.S. affiliate, Ernst & Young LLP, is waiting to see how a potential second wave of Covid-19 infections plays out before it finalizes hiring plans for the year.
"In a normal year, we'd have everything buttoned up and schedules set, we would have already been on campus in several places," said Dan Black, global recruiting lead for EY. "The next four to five months are going to determine a lot of things."
While EY's M.B.A. hiring is uncertain, the firm plans to make a lot of job offers to undergraduates, who typically take roles in tax and assurance when they graduate, Mr. Black said. Those units involve annuity work that needs to be done regardless of what is happening in the broader economy.
"M.B.A.s primarily fill roles in consulting and strategy and transaction, which tend to have more project work that is affected more by the relative strength of the economy," he said.
Kevin Stacia, an M.B.A. career coach and corporate-relations manager at Georgia Tech's Scheller College of Business, said students and employers are stuck in limbo for now. "Nobody is making commitments yet," he said.
Mateusz Madry, who is working to complete his M.B.A. at Suffolk University's Sawyer Business School in Boston, said he pursued a business degree to kick-start a career in digital marketing. But he struggled to land an internship this summer and instead worked at the university.
"The job search for us M.B.A.s is so important in terms of connections and getting to know people. When Covid[-19] hit, I feel like I lost those connections," the 30-year-old said. "All of us are entering into this unknown in the fall. It's a hard time for everyone."
Students who weren't able to land a summer internship—or had their offer rescinded—fear they could have a tough time finding the job they thought the pricey degree would give them upon graduation. RelishCareers said in a recent survey more than a third of 2021 M.B.A. candidates have had job and internship offers rescinded or changed because of the pandemic, compared with about 20% of M.B.A.s who graduated this year. The survey found offers extended to the class of 2021 have been hit hardest by the pandemic because companies consider internships less essential in an emergency.
Several big companies, including McKinsey & Co. and Boston Consulting Group, had already pushed back the start dates for spring graduates who expected to begin full-time roles this summer. Many who had locked down summer 2020 job offers back in the fall of 2019 are still waiting to hear when they can report to work. PwC says some new employees may not start until November.
A recent survey of more than 1,000 employers found that companies across an array of industries planned to hire nearly 60% fewer management positions this year, shrinking the number of landing spots for newly minted M.B.A.s along with other white-collar workers, according to the Association of M.B.A.s and Business Graduates Association, one of the three main accreditation bodies of business schools, which conducted the research.
Some sectors, including retail and tourism, have been predictably hard-hit by pandemic closures, which has curbed their ability to hire, survey respondents said. Other sectors were a surprise. Logistics companies, for instance, who are riding a pandemic-fueled surge in e-commerce to higher profit and revenue, reported some of the largest management hiring drop-offs.
"Some blue-chip organizations that every year took a few M.B.A.s into their cohort might take a break for a year," said Andrew Main Wilson, who runs the Association of M.B.A.s. "Many companies feel if they are being responsible, the first thing they'll stop is recruitment and save existing jobs of good employees."
More than half of respondents in banking, energy, engineering and construction said they were hiring fewer leadership roles in 2020 compared with 2019, and nearly two-thirds of organizations polled in legal services and pharmaceuticals said they were in the market for fewer managers this year. In contrast, about a fourth of companies polled in insurance, entertainment and computers and electronics said they planned to hire more management roles.
As traditional M.B.A. employers in consulting and financial services dial back recruiting plans, new employers in technology are emerging to fill the gap, said Raj Echambadi, dean of Northeastern University's D'Amore-McKim School of Business.
"We are hoping the losses in traditional industries can be actually taken care of by different types of organizations," he said.
Amazon.com Inc. and Microsoft Corp. started their B-school recruiting process for jobs and internships earlier than ever before and indicated they plan to make more job offers to second-year M.B.A.s than usual, according to Drew Pascarella, associate dean of M.B.A. programs at Cornell University's SC Johnson Graduate School of Management.
Among M.B.A. pursuers is ServiceNow Inc., a cloud-computing company that launched its B-school intern program last year and next spring aims to hire about 10 to 20 additional M.B.A.s than it did this past year.
"This is a long-term commitment," said Chirantan CJ Desai, ServiceNow's chief product officer, who manages the company's B-school hires. "M.B.A.s help us create better products. I'm optimistic about the graduating class of 2021."

Weekend Box Office Report: February 4 – February 6, 2022
Home » Weekend Box Office Report: February 4 – February 6, 2022
The weekend box office report is provided by Daniel Garris, courtesy of BoxOfficeReport.com.
Weekend Estimates Update:
Paramount's Jackass Forever was off to a nice first place start this weekend with an estimated $23.50 million. The fourth Jackass film (and fifth installment of the franchise when including 2013's Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa) opened towards the higher end of pre-release expectations, which had ranged anywhere from the mid-teen millions to mid-twenty millions heading into the weekend. While Jackass Forever didn't come close to matching the $50.35 million start of 2010's Jackass 3D and also opened below the $32.06 million debut of Bad Grandpa, Jackass Forever hadn't been expected to reach those same box office heights as a result of the different theatrical landscape the film found itself in with the passing of time (and the COVID-19 pandemic). Jackass Forever also performed well with the film's modest production budget in mind. Jackass Forever was directed by Jeff Tremaine and reunited members of the Jackass cast, including Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O.
Jackass Forever started out with $9.60 million on Friday (including an estimated $1.65 million from Thursday preview shows that began at 7PM), declined a respectable 12.5 percent on Saturday to take in $8.40 million and is estimated to decrease 34.5 percent on Sunday to gross $5.50 million. Pre-release buzz for Jackass Forever had been feeling somewhat muted, but really started to pick up over the past week or two (over the years, the Jackass films have tended to over-perform / break late). Jackass Forever likely got at least a small boost from its strong critical reviews this weekend. Jackass Forever also looks to be going over well with audiences, as the film received a solid B+ rating on CinemaScore (making it the third Jackass film to receive a B+ rating on CinemaScore). Looking back, 2006's Jackass: Number Two and 2010's Jackass 3D were both quite front-loaded towards opening weekend, but going forward Jackass Forever will hope to display holding power more in line with that of 2002's Jackass: The Movie and 2013's Bad Grandpa, especially given the relatively smaller opening weekend performance of Jackass Forever for a Jackass sequel. Internationally, Jackass Forever grossed an estimated $5.2 million from 9 select markets, including debuts of $2.8 million in the United Kingdom and $1.8 million in Australia. The film's global start stands at $28.7 million.
Lionsgate's Moonfall was off to a far less promising start this weekend with an estimated second place take of $10.01 million. While the expensive Roland Emmerich directed sci-fi adventure film starring Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson was able to open in line with its modest expectations, Moonfall performed quite poorly with its price-tag in mind. A few weeks back, it felt as though Moonfall could potentially find itself in a race for first place this weekend with Jackass Forever, but as buzz started to pick up for Jackass Forever closer to release, the anticipation for Moonfall appears to have cratered at the same time. Mixed critical reviews (that have been more negative than positive on the average) also didn't help matters for Moonfall this weekend. The lackluster C+ CinemaScore rating received by Moonfall suggests that the film isn't going over very well with audiences either, though on the other hand Moonfall did register a healthy estimated opening weekend to Friday ratio of 2.93 to 1. After starting with $3.42 million on Friday (including an estimated $0.70 million from Thursday preview shows that began at 6PM), Moonfallincreased an encouraging 18 percent on Saturday to take in $4.02 million and is estimated to fall 36 percent on Sunday to gross in $2.57 million. Moonfall received a boost this weekend from grossing an estimated $1.4 million from domestic IMAX screens (which represented 14 percent of the film's overall gross), though that IMAX boost was largely balanced out by Moonfall not playing in Canada this weekend.
While it was down two spots from last weekend to place in third, Sony's Spider-Man: No Way Homearguably had this weekend's most impressive performance, as the superhero event film declined a slim 13 percent to gross an estimated $9.60 million (in its eighth weekend no less). Making this weekend's hold even more impressive is that Spider-Man: No Way Home lost its IMAX screens to Moonfall this weekend and also had a weaker average showtimes per-location hold in general than the film had experienced each of the past few weekends. In addition to continuing to benefit from its strong critical reviews and exceptional word of mouth, as well as its event film status, Spider-Man: No Way Home (and many holdovers in general) also received a boost this weekend from the re-opening of theatres in the Canadian province of Ontario (this past Monday). Spider-Man: No Way Home likely also received another boost by serving as this weekend's top alternative choice for the segment of moviegoers who weren't interested in seeing either Jackass Forever or Moonfall. With a massive 52-day gross of $748.95 million, Spider-Man: No Way Home is now just $11.56 million away from surpassing the $760.51 million lifetime domestic gross of 2009's Avatar to move into third place on the all-time unadjusted domestic list.
Internationally, Spider-Man: No Way Home grossed an estimated $15.6 million this weekend from 63 markets. That brings the film's international total to $1.027 billion and current global haul to $1.776 billion. Total grosses for Spider-Man: No Way Home through Sunday by market include $122.5 million in the United Kingdom, $75.1 million in Mexico, $62.6 million in South Korea, $62.0 million in France, $56.3 million in Australia, $54.8 million in Brazil, $46.9 million in Germany, $46.4 million in Russia, $36.4 million in India, $31.7 million in Japan, $30.3 million in Spain, $27.4 million in Italy and $25.7 million in Indonesia.
Paramount's Scream was down two places from last weekend to land in fourth with an estimated $4.73 million. Scream continued to stabilize this weekend, as the horror sequel declined a very solid 34.5 percent. The re-opening of theatres in the Canadian province of Ontario likely helped Scream more than other holdovers this weekend, as this week represented the first opportunity for moviegoers in Ontario to catch Scream. With a healthy 24-day gross of $68.94 million, Scream has surpassed last year's The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It to become the third highest grossing horror film domestically since re-opening (behind only last year's A Quiet Place Part II and Halloween Kills). Internationally, Scream grossed an estimated $4.3 million this weekend, which brings the film's international total to $51.4 million and current global haul to $120.3 million.
Universal's Sing 2 rounded out the weekend's top five with an estimated $4.17 million. Sing 2 continued to hold up exceptionally well this weekend, as the computer animated sequel declined a very slim 11 percent from last weekend. The 47-day total for Sing 2 stands at $139.58 million, which gives the film a strong current total gross to opening weekend ratio of 6.25 to 1. With very little new competition for family audiences entering the marketplace in the near future, Sing 2 should continue to hold up very well going forward. Internationally, Sing 2 grossed an estimated $14.0 million from 63 markets this weekend. As with last weekend, this weekend's international performance was driven by the United Kingdom, where Sing 2grossed $6.6 million for the frame and has grossed $17.0 million to date. Respective total grosses for Sing 2 stand at $152.0 million internationally and $291.5 million globally.
Estimated grosses for other holdovers in the marketplace this weekend included $1.18 million for Disney and 20th Century's The King's Man (to place in sixth) and $1.01 million for Universal's Redeeming Love (to follow in seventh). The King's Man was down just 29 percent from last weekend, while Redeeming Lovedeclined a respectable 43 percent. Respective totals stand at $35.81 million for The King's Man through 47 days and at a modest $8.08 million for Redeeming Love through 17 days. With its international run now running down, The King's Man took in an estimated $2.7 million internationally this weekend from 40 markets. Respective totals for The King's Man stand at $84.9 million internationally and $120.7 million globally.
On the platform front, NEON's The Worst Person in the World was off to a promising launch with an estimated $135,042 from 4 locations in New York and Los Angeles. That gave The Worst Person in the World a per-location average of $33,760 for the frame, which represented the second largest per-location average for a platform release since the re-opening of domestic theatres (behind only last year's Licorice Pizza). The Norwegian-language film directed by Joachim Trier and starring Renate Reinsve has received terrific critical reviews (the film currently boasts a 99 percent Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes) and this past week received BAFTA nominations for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Actress (for Reinsve). In addition to the very strong critical buzz for the film, The Worst Person in the World was also helped out this weekend by Trier and Reinsve both being in attendance for Q&A's at select screenings in New York City. This coming Friday (February 11), The Worst Person in the World is scheduled to expand to an estimated 50 locations, before receiving additional expansions each of the following two weekends.

You Should Download 'The Matrix Awakens' Right Now
The Matrix Awakens is about to disappear forever from PS5 and Xbox Series X/S—but it doesn't have to.
Jake Peterson
Screenshot: Unreal Engine/YouTube
The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S are powerful machines—that much isn't news. One such example of that power is The Matrix Awakens, currently available on both systems, which provides a free-of-charge look at Unreal Engine's future in gaming. That unique experience, however, is going away for good, unless you download it right now.

How to Make a Classic N64 Zelda Look Like a Modern PC Game
The Matrix Awakens isn't a game so much as it is an interactive tech demo for Unreal Engine 5. Epic Games has been keen to show off the next general of Unreal Engine and what it can add to gaming in the future, employing examples designed to impress and spark the imaginations of gamers and the friends made to watch.
You can see that in Lorenzo Drago's demo of Etchū-Daimon train station in Japan. While the experience isn't something replicable in a full-scale game yet, it is built using Unreal Engine 5, and it is undoubtedly impressive.
Compared to Drago's demo, though, The Matrix Awakens is Grand Theft Auto: The first 10 minutes feature a photorealistic, interactive cinematic featuring Keanu Reaves and Carrie-Anne Moss, before dropping you in the middle of The Matrix, which, in this case, is a large, active, beautifully rendered city. You can walk, fly, or drive through the cityscape to take in everything Unreal put together—if you prefer a god-mode-like experience, you can use the drone to quickly zoom through the map.
Unlike GTA, however, there isn't much to do: Since this is really a tech demo, the main idea is to see how visually impressive Unreal Engine 5 can be on modern hardware. Aside from a short shoot-out during the initial cinematic, there are no real tasks for you to do here. Instead, your main objective is to explore the world. Still, it's a fun experience, especially considering how large the map is for a demo: If you're the kind of person who enjoys traveling around video game maps aimlessly exploring, you'll probably enjoy doing that in The Matrix Awakens.
Unfortunately, the title is set to be delisted from both PlayStation and Xbox stores on Saturday, July 9, three days from this article. After that point, The Matrix Awakens will no longer be accessible to new players looking to try out Unreal Engine 5's version of The Matrix. However, if you downloaded it before July 9, it will remain available as a downloadable option now and in the future.
Even if you don't have much interest in the demo, consider downloading it today, even if you delete it right away. Simply choosing to download The Matrix Awakens for free will ensure it is tied to your PlayStation or Xbox for good, so you will always have the option to play it in the future in case you want to.

Righteous Bold Lions One Minute Gem Bible Teachings Such As When Is The Rapture? What Did Jesus Tell His 12 Disciples? The TRUTH Behind The Great Reset - 4000 Years In The Making.
Righteous Bold Lions published October 16, 2021: When is the Rapture? What did Jesus say? Matt 24 Rev 6/7. The rapture has been a big topic for many Christians for a long time now, but when is it? Well it wasn't just us that wanted to know, the 12 disciples wanted to know what would happen at the end.
They asked Jesus and this is what He said.
Righteous Bold Lions published November 26, 2021: Jesus is the Alpha and Omega or the Aleph Tav.
Righteous Bold Lions published October 21, 2021: Hidden message in the first 5 books of the bible? Amazing!
Righteous Bold Lions published October 1, 2021: The camp of Israel reveals a cross shape from above. The bible has so many layers and lots of hidden references to future events especially Jesus. one is found when we read about the Children of Israel camping in the wilderness. this one truly is amazing.

Righteous Bold Lions published September 9, 2021: Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega but he was speaking Hebrew not Greek Rev 1:8 (Aleph Tav). Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega but he would have spoken in Hebrew and said the Aleph Tav but why is this important? Hebrew has symbolic meanings that why!
Righteous Bold Lions published September 13, 2021: Part 7: God reveals Himself to us on a macro-level. Father, Son, Holy Spirit. God has been revealing himself to humanity for 6000s years. There is a striking pattern every 2000 years on what God focuses on in the bible and it shows an amazing pattern.
Righteous Bold Lions published October 4, 2021: What does the first word of the Bible mean? Beresheet? The first word in the bible reveals Gods gospel, that's right the very first word Beresheet. Translated to English it means 'In the beginning' but there a much bigger meaning in the tradition symbols of ancient Hebrew.
Righteous Bold Lions published October 15, 2021: The TRUTH behind The Great Reset - 4000 years in the making (Part 1) What if I was to tell you the Great Reset happened 4000 years ago?

As we are fast approaching what the Bible calls the End Times this plan by the global elites is just a repeat of what's already happened 4000 years ago.
What many people don't realize though is the Bible has showed us how we are to survive and escape their new system (part 2).
Righteous Bold Lions published November 19, 2021: Surviving the Great Reset - (2nd Exodus?!?) (Part 2) The Great Reset had many Christians thinking about the end times and what we are meant to do. This video aims to help Christians to navigate through these volatile times and to prepare for the worst as well as what the Bible and especially Jesus say's about these events.
Note: I have tried to include as much as I can in this video and explain where in scripture it states the things I'm talking about but it's impossible for me to explain everything or to include all my thoughts and what the bible says in this short video. Please keep this in mind and don't assume I'm saying something which I haven't said. I DON'T believe we will go through God's wrath but I do believe what Jesus says in Matt 24 and in Revelation applies to all believers now and tomorrow.
Righteous Bold Lions published October 6, 2020: The bible predicts the future, Purim feast. This amazing story shows how the bible isn't just a history book but the true word of God. Able to predict the future and teach us lessons throughout all on time.

In the south east of the Croatian island of Krk there is a village of Baška that was founded in 1100. Baška is similar to other Mediterranean towns in many ways – there are typical narrow streets, small stone buildings, numerous churches, tiny bars and taverns, sandy and stony beaches. Among the historic monuments of sacral architecture it is worth seeing the 18th-century parish church of the Holy Trinity, church of Saint John the Baptist, the 15th-century church of Our Lady and the oldest church of Saint Lucia in Jurandvor from the turn of the 11th and 12th centuries. In summer there are festival and cultural event in Baška, among them the Cultural Summer of Baška and lignjada, i.e. a meeting of hunters and a hunt that accompanies the event.


Is Vehicle Pawn for You?
If you have a car, motorcycle, caravan, or boat that you want to get cash out of, then what you need is a vehicle pawn broking service to get the process started. Pawning your vehicle would give you up to $20,000 in cash without the need for credit checks or proofs of income. This is a quick and hassle-free way of getting cash out of your car in just 30 minutes of even less.
To get the process started, all you need to do is request a quote from the vehicle pawn broker or the actual lender. The company will take a look at your car and assess its value. If the inspection of the vehicle goes smoothly, then the pawing process is started. After you have signed all the paperwork, the car will be stored in a secured facility and the money will be released to you.
While the allure of fast cash can pull you in quickly, be sure to look into the fine print before signing or agreeing to anything. Read through the document first. If you can have it fully inspected by a legal expert, do so. You have to know how much interest you have to pay on the money they have loaned to you and what happens if you fail to pay that amount on time.
Some vehicle pawning companies impose as much as 40% interest rate. Do the math and see how much you'll have to pay back if you took out the full $20,000 value on your car. That's an additional $8,000 for every month until you fully repay your loan.
It's important that you fully understand the agreement that you're entering into, especially with vehicle pawning. If you are unsure of anything, ask your broker. He or she should be able to give you adequate answers to all your questions. They shouldn't be too interested in taking your car but instead, be very accommodating to your needs at the moment.
If you want to know more about vehicle pawning, search for reputable service providers in the area. You may want to talk with vehicle pawn brokers as they tend to be more accessible than the people who work at banks and lending institutions. When in doubt, ask them. If you're still in doubt, take time in learning more about the process so you don't end up regretting pawning your car and losing it eventually.
Sydney offers vehicle pawning services directly through banks and lenders or through pawn brokers. Either way, you can get money out of your car when you need it most. Find out about the highest rated vehicle pawn Sydney so you can take advantage of this option during emergencies and similar urgent situations.

Il marmo rosso di Levanto o, più semplicemente, rosso Levanto è una varietà rossa di marmo estratta nel comune di Levanto, da cui prende il nome, e nei vicini comuni della Riviera spezzina.
Era già utilizzato dai Romani e anche in epoca più recente è stato impiegato per rivestimenti, colonne e pavimenti.

Origine geologica
Geologicamente si tratta di un'oficalce a fondo rosso che presenta venature bianche di calcite, rari ammassi di quarzo e, a volte, zone verdi di serpentino. La colorazione rossa prevalente è dovuta all'ematite.
Il peculiare aspetto cromatico e le caratteristiche di lucidabilità e durabilità del materiale ne hanno determinato la fortuna merceologica.

Storia
L'estrazione del marmo rosso nelle ampie cave a cielo aperto diffuse lungo la riviera spezzina, è molto antica, come attesta il ritrovamento di alcuni manufatti funerari etruschi realizzati con questo materiale. La massima produzione era concentrata tra i comuni di Framura, Bonassola e Levanto.

L'attività estrattiva, che ha avuto il suo picco tra la fine del XIX secolo e i primi anni trenta, è attualmente molto limitata e concentrata in poche cave, sia a causa delle delicate condizioni ambientali dei siti di provenienza, che a causa dell'introduzione di litotipi simili nel mercato (come il "rosso Lepanto").

Utilizzo
Il marmo rosso di Levanto è stato utilizzato, tra le altre, per le seguenti opere:
 la cattedrale di San Lorenzo di Genova;
 l'altare dell'arco della Vittoria di Genova;
 il pavimento del santuario di Nostra Signora della Guardia di Gavi;
 il pavimento del vestibolo d'onore della Palazzina Reale di Santa Maria Novella a Firenze;
 elementi decorativi nei giardini dello stabilimento balneare Principe di Piemonte a Viareggio;
 il pavimento della chiesa sul Sangue Versato a San Pietroburgo
 le lesene della Camera del Senato degli Stati Uniti a Washington;
 la hall dell'Empire State Building a New York

Indeed, the traditional vodka-and-tomato-juice combo, which some say dates back to 1920s Paris, lends itself to limitless opportunities for personalization, both inside and outside the glass. But that doesn't mean that every way is the right way. With every attempt at innovation comes the risk of abomination.
As chief organizer of the hotly contested Bloody Mary Mix Down competition, Seabury has witnessed both triumphs and disasters on this front. The annual event challenges the most intrepid bartenders around to put their best bloody recipes on trial to be judged on presentation, taste and creativity.
Food Republic was on the scene for one of the preliminary rounds in Brooklyn and even helped judge the boozy entries. We spoke with Seabury and local finalist Marisa Cadena of Brooklyn restaurant Lucky Luna about the most common Bloody Mary mishaps and how to do this finicky cocktail justice.
1. Start with some booze, but whoa! Not too much.
Ask Seabury and she'll tell you the most important quality of a good Bloody Mary is balance. And that begins with the base spirit. "I think it's important to have a good amount of vodka, but not too much," she says. "That's like my biggest pet peeve, when you go to some place and [the cocktail] is all vodka." About an ounce and a half of hooch is all you need for the standard 12- to 16-ounce glass, she says.
2. You call that a mix? It looks like tomato water.
3. There's a whole world beyond Worcestershire.
A good Bloody also exhibits a depth of flavor. It can't just taste like tomato. For devotees of author Ernest Hemingway's famous recipe, that extra flavor comes from some pretty simple ingredients: Worcestershire, lime, salt, black pepper and cayenne. For modern Bloody makers, it can mean all sorts of things. Instead of Worcestershire, for instance, Seabury likes to use balsamic vinegar. "I think it adds a great tang to it," she says. Seabury is also a big fan of fresh herbs, everything from cilantro and parsley to Thai basil.
4. Save the insanely hot peppers for another contest.
The simple, traditional celery stick has no future in the internet era. These days, it seems like there's an arms race to build the most massive, intricate and over-the-top ornamentation for your fiery libation. Waffle fries, beef sliders, a whole triple-decker fish sandwich — pretty much anything you can impale on a skewer is fair game.
During a preliminary round on Staten Island earlier this year, one bartender presented a skewer with "so many meats and cheeses on it that it looked like the Staten Island ferry," recalls Stoli rep Eshelman, "and it even had a little Staten Island flag on top." The trick, as always, is keeping things in balance. Focus too much on the decoration and the drink itself may suffer. At the Brooklyn event, one guy garnished his drink with a whole pastrami sandwich on a stick. The judges were impressed with his presentation, especially the fact that he made his own pastrami; the actual cocktail not so much. Think Russian dressing with zero heat.

Raiders vs. Bills: Keys to the Game
by bblehar
Welcome back Buffalo Authority Faithful! Firstly I would like to take the time to thank all those who read my first post last week. It was a joy to do. Keep commenting and follow me on twitter; @bblehar, lets converse and share our love for both the game of football and our love for that charming little team out of Western New York. I'll be at the game this weekend too! Looking forward to tailgating with 70,000 of my favorite people in Orchard Park.
Speaking of this weekend, we've got a big game on our hands against an imposing foe in the Oakland Raiders. If you're a schedule 'looker aheader' (That's an official scientific term there) like me, you'll probably agree and say this is the most important game within the next month. If the Bills can pull out a victory this upcoming Sunday we start getting into the realm of "should" wins the next couple of weeks. Should wins.. I hate that phrase because of course any given Sunday anything can happen, however, if you 'billieve' the Bills can make a playoff run this year and end that ever impressive drought, the next couple of weeks should be wins..If you like to take it one game at a time, shield your eyes now. After the Raiders Buffalo has @NYJ, HOME for the Saints, then @LA Chargers. If they beat the Raiders Sunday, the Bills put themselves in prime position for a string of manageable wins. The key word in that last sentence is obviously 'if.' Speaking of keys I'd say it's about time to dive into the "Keys to the Game"
Disrupt that Oakland Offense Early
This one is obvious but needs to be said. Buffalo could play Oakland ten times in a row and they're going to win zero of those games if it becomes a shootout. I don't see any way they keep up with the Oakland offense if the black and silver have a game like they did against Kansas City on last weeks' Thursday night game. The Bills secondary again have their hands full with an above average receiving corp. I don't want to consider last week's matchup against Tampa Bay a complete success but it was obviously a passing grade as they got the ever important win. Want a key to victory? Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree need to be contained. Of the teams the Bills have played so far, these two are the most threatening. Crabtree's redzone/goal line presence can be argued as the best in the league among receivers. Cooper's deep threat too can be argued as one of the best in the league. It's fitting this is 'halloweekend' because these two should scare any Bills fans. Stop these two, please.
No Homecoming for Marshawn
Poor Lynch, making his long awaited return to Buffalo only to have it taken away from him with a suspension. Listen, I'm for sure a Marshawn guy; I think he's great. However, you can't put your hands on a referee…what a knucklehead move. Marshawn will be back next week and though he hasn't had a historically good start to the season, not seeing him on the other side of the ball bodes well for this Buffalo defense. The key for the Bills with the Oakland running game is make sure this 'running back by committee' never gets into any sort of rhythm. Jalen Richard and DeAndre Williams need to feel the presence of the Bills' front four on every play. Make them welcome their time on the sideline with open arms between reps with their counterpart.
This is YOUR house
The Bills are undefeated at home thus far. Coach McDemott was quoted as saying playing here is like heaven. I'll agree with him on that one. Nothing beats the atmosphere of The Ralph (I know it's New Era Field, but it's still the Ralph to me dammit.) Keep that home momentum going into this week. If you're going to this game, make some noise! The team feeds off the crowds energy and makes it difficult for any opponent to get things going. So long as the defense can make some stands early and keep this one close, the crowd will play a factor the entire game. The Raiders haven't had the best record on the east coast either. Going from coast to coast is a tough situation, especially traveling from west to east. This game will feel like a 10am game for them due to those crazy time zones. Take advantage of that and bring the intensity to them early and often. The key to the game here is keep it close. Easier said than done? Sure…but if you want that home crowd rockin', you cannot allow the Raiders to jump out to a multi-score lead.
What do you think Bills fans? How are you feeling regarding Buffalo's chances this weekend? Are Raiders better than their 3-4 record suggests? Comment below and of course, go Bills.

Raiders vs. Bills: Players to Watch
8 thoughts on "Raiders vs. Bills: Keys to the Game"
This could be an exciting game or the worst of the year. Bills D has turnover ability that will keep Buffalo in this game
Go Bills!
Nate C says:
Derek Carr is going to go bananas.
bblehar says:
If it's anything like the Bengals game you may be right. I'm just hoping for a competitive game seeing how I paid an arm and a leg for my ticket haha.. Carrs road numbers aren't nearly as good as his home numbers so hopin he struggles with that D. Turnover machines.
Derek carr is going to have a field day.
Got a good feeling about the game this weekend! GO BILLS!
Buffalo Bob says:
Better keep the silver and black offense in check, as Tyrod can lose a game with his poor decisions.
Buffalo Jill says:
The home field advantage will really be an advantage especially this Sunday with wind, rain and chill! The Oakland boys aren't gonna like it! And "10:00am" is just too early for those west coast Raiders!
Go Bills!! 🙂
VVS have a big game this weekend?

Wednesday Halolinks: Angels using new methods to improve
The Angels' front office is using advanced methods in player scouting.
By Jim Gardner Dec 31, 2014, 6:52am PST
Share All sharing options for: Wednesday Halolinks: Angels using new methods to improve
"OPS+? I have no idea what you're talking about."
Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports
That's it folks, 2014 is OVER. Here's the last Halolinks of the year:
(This post from the OC Register was mentioned in yesterday's Halolinks comment section by river-z)...This is encouraging. Even if you don't believe the study of statistics can be useful in the scouting of players, you at least have to be encouraged that the Angels are trying new things. Number-crunching: Four 20-somethings help Angels make sense of all that data - The Orange County Register, "We view statistics on a sliding scale in importance," Horowitz said. "When you're at the major-league level, your performance is your performance. But it becomes less so as you move down. When you're in college, your performance can be misleading, so you have to make sure you're looking at the right things. "More specifically, the things we're looking for are the things we think translate the best." In short, that's strike-zone control, for both pitchers and hitters. The Angels want hitters who walked more than they struck out in college and pitchers who hardly walked anybody." I still think improving the nutrition and health of minor leaguers is an untapped avenue to performance improvement. Maybe one of these young guys will put down the Taco Bell and look into it.
I wonder how old the author of this post is? If he's under 30 he just might fit into the Angels new front office: KATOH: Forecasting Major League Hitting with Minor League Stats – The Hardball Times, "To get a better sense of what mattered most, I turned to the reams of minor league data available through Baseball-Reference. Using these data, I ran some probit regressions, which tell us how a variety of inputs can predict the likelihood of an event that has two possible outcomes. For example, it might give the probability of a prospect's making it to the majors based on his age and league-adjusted strikeout percentage, walk percentage, isolated slugging, batting average on balls in play, and frequency of stolen base attempts."
Of all the ideas to fill the hole created by dealing Howie Kendrick, this is my favorite. This could be the guy hitting in the #2 slot of the Angels' batting order: The Market For Ben Zobrist – MLB Trade Rumors, "Angels: The Angels dealt Howie Kendrick to the Dodgers in a one-for-one trade that netted them top young lefty Andrew Heaney, and they now project to have Grant Green or Josh Rutledge starting at second base. Zobrist's contract wouldn't push them over the luxury tax threshold, though they lack impact prospects to entice the Rays."
Of all the ideas to fill the hole created by dealing Howie Kendrick, this is the worst: How Royals' magical roster nearly got a July shakeup - New York Post, "Drew has several teams interested in him as a primary second baseman (a position he had not played until traded last July to the Yankees) and as shortstop insurance. Clubs such as the Blue Jays, A's, Cubs, White Sox and Angels fall into this category."
I believe in stats, but I also believe in chemistry. Clubhouse vet Shields brings more than numbers - MLB.com, "Here's the thing about Shields that's difficult for those of us outside the clubhouse to completely understand. Sometimes, we probably make too much of the chemistry. On the other hand, Jack Morris, to name one prominent former player, thinks we don't make enough of it. Morris said it was a vital part of all the good teams he was part of. To me, this is one of the reasons every team should want Shields. When you ask Shields' former teammates about him, they almost never begin with the workload or the performance or any of that stuff. Instead, they'll tell you about his work ethic and the example Shields set. They'll tell you how he mentored young pitchers and helped them understand how to be a Major Leaguer." As with any free agent signing, at the right price, James Shields would be a pretty good addition to the Angels' rotation.
Spoiler alert; This guy predicts only two players will be elected this year: Guest post: Bill Deane's third annual Hall of Fame forecast - Baseball: Past and Present, "Editor's note: For the third consecutive year, I'm honored to feature Hall of Fame predictions from Bill Deane, former senior research associate at Cooperstown."

In reference to the query "Whether I have experienced any and what difficulty in applying the provisions of the statute and common law of England to any description of offences committed in this colony, and the grounds upon which I have hesitated so to apply them"; it does not seem incumbent on me, in this communication, to do more than unfold the principle, upon which certainly, as to several statutes, I have not been able to free myself from the hesitation alluded to, and the grounds may be explained in very few words. The Court of Criminal Jurisdiction under the terms of the statute, 29 G. 3 ch. 2, is to be "a Court of Judicature for the trial and punishment of all such outrages and misbehaviours, as, if committed within this realm would be deemed and taken according to the laws of this realm to be treason or misprision thereof felony or misdemeanor."
By force of this enactment it is clear, as observed by His Majesty's Attorney and Solicitor General in their communication to Earl Bathurst upon a case of this nature referred to them, dated 29th August, 1818, that "all criminal laws, which were in force in the 27th year of the late King extend to New South Wales unless repealed . . . whatever question might arise whether a felony created since the 27th G. 3 would become a felony in New South Wales."
But the question still remains whether the commission of an act in New South Wales must necessarily become triable, as a felony, before the colonial court, because the same act, committed in England, has been declared by statute to be a capital felony. If the legislature has provided, previously to the 27th Year of His late Majesty, without confinement to the actual place of commission or any other local or peculiar restriction, any particular offence to be a capital felony, then the offender, committing a like offence in this territory, would be subject to the jurisdiction of the Criminal Court here.  It may explain, to adduce instances of the question, by reference to positive statutes in point. The Stat. 12 Ann, Stat. I ch. 7, s. I enacts that any person, who shall steal goods of the value of 40s. or more, being in a dwelling house, although not actually broken, etc., shall be absolutely debarred of clergy. Under the 27 of G. 3 the court could clearly try, and capitally convict any person, who had been adjudged guilty of stealing above the value of 40s. from a dwelling house in the territory. But if a charge was exhibited by the Judge Advocate here against a prisoner under the 43 G. 3, ch. 58 (and no statute provisions can be of more important and serious operation in the colony) the matter of difficulty arises; for it is enacted that, if "any person or persons shall either in England or Ireland wilfully and maliciously shoot at any of His Majesty's Subjects, or present, point or level any kind of loaded fire-arms at any of His Majesty's Subjects, etc., with intent to obstruct them, resist or prevent the lawful apprehension and detainer of, etc., the person so stabbing, etc., shall suffer death without benefit of clergy." Passing by any question, that may arise, as to this enactment taking effect at a period subsequent to the Act giving criminal jurisdiction to the colonial court here, it appears to me, that to shoot or stab any of His Majesty's Subjects in New South Wales, or Within the local jurisdiction of our court, cannot be adjudged a capital felony under this Act; for the offence is not committed at the place, where only, if committed, it is declared a capital felony, such an offence therefore here cannot be deemed and taken "according to the laws of this realm" to be a felony, to which, if committed at certain other particular specified places, the punishment of death is affixed. In short such an offence committed in this Colony would not, upon conviction in the English courts, render the party liable to suffer death - it is a capital crime in England and Ireland, but not in Scotland even, nor any where else.
There are several other statutes to which reference might be made involving the like question but trusting that I have already made myself fully understood, at least as to my views and doubts on this subject, it may be unnecessary, on this occasion, to enter further into the discussion.

From the eponymous star of one of the most popular reality shows in Fuse's history, this no-holds-barred memoir and "snappily dictated story of inverted cultural norms in the wards of New Orleans" (East Bay Express) reveals the fascinating truth about a gay, self-proclaimed mama's boy who exploded onto the formerly underground Bounce music scene and found acceptance, healing, self-expression, and stardom.
As the "undisputed ambassador" of the energetic, New Orleans-based Bounce movement, Big Freedia isn't afraid to twerk, wiggle, and shake her way to self-confidence, and is encouraging her fans to do the same. In her engrossing memoir, Big Freedia tells the inside story of her path to fame, the peaks and valleys of her personal life, and the liberation that Bounce music brings to herself and every one of her fans who is searching for freedom.
Big Freedia immediately pulls us into the relationship between her personal life and her career as an artist; being a "twerking sissy" is not just a job, she says, but a salvation. A place to find solace and escape from the battles she faced growing up in the worst neighborhood in New Orleans. To deal with losing loved ones to the violence on the streets, drug overdoses, and jail. To survive hurricane Katrina by living on her roof for two days with three adults and a child. To grapple with the difficulties and celebrate the joys of living.
In this eye-opening memoir that bursts with energy, you'll learn the history of the Bounce movement and meet all the colorful characters that pepper its music scene. "Whether detailing the highs or the lows, Freedia's tales pop as much as the booty that made her famous" (Out Magazine).

Alien 3 The Unproduced Screenplay by William Gibson HC
Author: Pat Cadigan
The Sulaco—on its return journey from LV-426—enters a sector controlled by the "Union of Progressive Peoples," a nation-state engaged in an ongoing cold war and arms race. U.P.P. personnel board the Sulaco and find hypersleep tubes with Ripley, Newt, and an injured Hicks. A Facehugger attacks the lead commando, and the others narrowly escape, taking what remains of Bishop with them.
The Sulaco continues to Anchorpoint, a space station and military installation the size of a small moon, where it falls under control of the military's Weapons Division. Boarding the Sulaco, a team of Colonial Marines and scientists is assaulted by a pair of Xenomorph drones. In the fight Ripley's cryotube is badly damaged. It's taken aboard Anchorpoint, where Ripley is kept comatose. Newt and an injured Corporal Hicks are awakened, and Newt is sent to Gateway Station on the way to Earth. The U.P.P. sends Bishop to Anchorpoint, where Hicks begins to hear rumors of experimentation—the cloning and genetic modification of Xenomorphs.
The kind of experimentation that could yield a monstrous hybrid, and perhaps even a Queen.

Our client came to us wanting a very fancy and classy event, but still wanted a really unique product displays and stage. Starting with the stage we did a very simple stage set each day keeping the main focus on the custom Mod Wall we built out of our LED Wall Panels. The first day we lit the LED Mod Wall a bright pink with tables on each end of the stage with laboratory equipment to go along with their first days theme. On the second day we lit the LED Mod Wall a subtle orange and added some of our Accent Lounge Chairs for the Q & A they were having that day.
Then outside of the main stage room we had their products displayed throughout the hallways. To display most of their products we used our LED Deluxe Display with Shelves and made custom graphics to put on the displays. Then the other products display we used were our Female Chrome Mannequins.
If you liked how we used two of our product displays be sure to check out the rentals section of our website to see more product display options we have to offer.

They did a very clean and methodical installation. I had a water heater and furnace installed and very happy with everything. Called in for some changes to duct-work (renovating and moving some things around) and the contractor they sent out was aces. He knew his job, explained what he was doing in an understandable way, and made recommendations for better airflow. I wish all my renovation experiences were as positive.
My husband and I had purchased an AC unit from Knight Heating. We found them through a quick Google search so we didn't know what to expect. Lloyd, the owner, was knowledgeable about air conditioning; he answered all of our questions we threw at him. The service techs that came out to install the AC were both friendly and polite. They were able to complete the installation in a timely manner. It gave us confident to know that one of the service technician had many years of experience; we trust the installation was done properly. Overall we were very satisfied with the purchase and the service we got. We like to support local businesses and especially those that exceed our expectations. We definitely recommend Knight Heating Ltd.
Knight Heating was reccommended to me by a friend. It was a great reccommendation. The price was great, Lloyed very knowledgable about the subject matter (A/C in this case) and the installation speedy and professional. Will definately call again when in need of heating or air.
My furnace kicked out and my house was freezing!! Knight Heating came to my rescue very quickly and got it up and running again. Their service was both friendly and speedy!! I would recommend them to anyone.

New Director's Bold Vision Gets Transit Moving in Detroit
Des Moines Ramps Up Sporting Life with a Mecca of Ultimate Complexes
Fresh and Processed Food Deliver Economic Nourishment to Detroit
Mikel Oglesby is executive director for the Detroit Department of Transportation. He graduated from the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a degree in Finance.
Important now: Create a strategic plan for your transportation system that clearly expresses your mission, commit to your chosen modes of transportation, develop solid infrastructure, maintain a state of good repair and never forget that the safety and security of frontline employees are a key component of success.
The clanking of bus doors, their groaning brakes, quivering seats, roaring engines are all mollifying sounds to C. Mikel Oglesby. As a young boy he journeyed bus routes throughout Boston with his father who was an operator for 34 years with the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), an agency he too would join for much of his career.
Today, Oglesby is the executive director of Transit for the City of Detroit overseeing Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT), the office of mobility, People mover and the transit police department.
While his father was earning the highest seniority status as a bus operator back in Boston, Oglesby was rising through the ranks at the MBTA eventually ascending to assistant general manager of what became the fourth largest multi-modal transit system in the US.
The mutual admiration between father and son nurtured a career spanning over thirty years for the younger Oglesby. "It's in my family's blood and that's what drove me to the transportation industry," he says.
Oglesby is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and has management experience in several areas of transportation including fixed route, paratransit, light and heavy rail service and maintenance. He has also held directorships at the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority and the SunLine Transit Agency in Coachella Valley, CA.
In the following interview, Oglesby talks about the challenges posed by Covid, key components of a successful transportation system and how he plans to make Detroit's transit system the finest in Michigan.
You assumed the helm of the department at a difficult time last May when Covid was surging. What were your biggest challenges?
Providing transportation with reduced capacity on each vehicle. A normal vehicle allows 40 people on a bus. When I arrived, it was reduced to 10 for safety reasons. Riders were required to board from the rear, they were riding in the back, and it was free. That created challenges.
There were times when a bus would pull up and it looked empty because of the reduced capacity requirements so people would complain. There were many people getting on the bus who did not have a destination. Unfortunately, you can't say to someone, "You've been on the bus going in circles now you have to get off because this person is a first responder and has to go to work." You couldn't tell who was riding to get somewhere, you just had to provide the transportation. That was the biggest problem and continues to be.
I could go on and on about how ridership was affected during the pandemic, but the good news is, I was really focused on the safety of operators and riders and implemented barriers. I promised I would not charge a fare for transportation until it was safe for the rider and the operator.
We implemented a three-step approach. 1) Install barriers for the operators. 2) Provide masks for all operators and 3) Give them the opportunity to take the vaccine. With those safety measures in place, DDOT was able to charge fares again, board from the front of the bus and increase the number of riders to 20 passengers on a 40-foot vehicle and 26 passengers on the larger vehicles.
It has been a short period of time so it's hard to say how it will all effect ridership, but I can say that based on information I have received over the past 15 days, overcrowding has been reduced by over 22%.
I have been in transit for 30 years or so and was always taught to put as many people on a bus as safely as possible; that's a good thing and it's what I've been trained to do. But because of the pandemic and the restrictions everything is different.
What accomplishments are you most proud of during the past 10 months?
We have safer service, [safety] barriers, and have been providing retraining to the operators. Customer service has also been key because tensions are so high and I'm very proud of how we were able to address those issues. We distributed two million masks to riders and were one of the first transit systems in the industry to do so.
We were also able to push forward a project for electric busses and by end of the year we will have four electric Proterra busses in service as well as a charging station. We had been pushing diligently for this during the pandemic and have been able to move forward with that project.
Also, the city worked on the development of part of the State Fair Grounds which included plans to add transit. We are working with the Detroit Building Authority now with $7 million in funding for a new transit center which be at the end of the transit line (read more about the State Fair site in an upcoming CityRevive article).
I read that for decades DDOT and other regional agencies such as SMART transit have not effectively worked together. How much headway have you made on this and can you provide examples?
A prime example of change is the reinstitution of fares. A lot of people were surprised that DDOT and SMART reinstituted fares simultaneously as a joint effort. We are also working together on a contactless fare system. From a marketing standpoint we have been in lockstep all the way.
I made a vow with Robert Cramer [deputy general manager for SMART] to work together because it is the only way people in Detroit and on the outskirts will get the right service.
Things have changed since I've been on board. My goal is to work together with everybody to make sure we have a premier transit system.
Is there close coordination between the bus transit system, the QLine (streetcar) and M1 light rail?
QLine Detroit is a 6.6-mile circulating streetcar loop serving 12 locations. It is the first major transit project led and funded by private businesses and philanthropic organizations.
Yes. One of the reasons I've been hired as executive director is to oversee the People Mover and DDOT and we work hand in hand. I have been working in lockstep with Qline as they make decisions moving forward. Due to Covid they haven't been running but we have had conversations on how we will work together when they relaunch and get up and moving. The M1 service is provided by a private company and we are all working together.
What is your overall vision and plans for making Detroit's transportation system more efficient for riders?
My overall vision is to provide basic transportation safely using all of our strengths. We don't know what things will look like post-pandemic, but I intend to develop a new strategic plan within the next 12 months.
I do know that we want to be looked at as a premier transit system in Michigan. We want to advance public transit to reduce traffic congestion and this can only be done with improved service. DDOT needs a comprehensive operational analysis that looks at the entire system and the services needed now.
We need to focus on our green footprint. It is great we have four pilot busses coming onboard but we need to take this to the next level, see how these vehicles perform and explore all avenues that will lead to vehicles that will perform the best for the future of Detroit. We are also working with the automotive industry to advance electric vehicles. We have the opportunity now to create the infrastructure needed for longevity and sustainability.
We need to take a hard look at the People mover infrastructure and improving and expanding the system to get more ridership beyond downtown.
Safety and security are a major focus. We are adding to our police programs as a preventive measure. We have a very small transportation police force with about 38 officers. For our service area, that is not enough. We are going to slowly increase their presence to be able to respond quicker to situations and give people a safe feeling when riding the bus.
One reason I'm focused on security on busses is because of our operators. I spoke with over 300 of them and they all said the same thing: "We want to feel safe while we provide transportation." They want to be protected from any physical threat. Not everybody getting on a bus is a physical threat, but it is a major concern and I want to prove to them I care.
Importantly, I really want to get back to basics. Our transit system can do a lot better. I know once we get to the point where this pandemic slows down and we are able to increase capacity, we are going to have more people riding on the system and we need to make sure it's reliable, solid and in a state of good repair. We want to be looking at potential future expansion and routes. But that can't be done unless we make sure that what we currently have is working well.
In all of your decades of experience in transportation what is the most important aspects for cities to have as a foundation for an efficient transportation system?
For a solid foundation you must have a state of good repair and solid infrastructure. You have to make a decision on what mode of transportation you are going to provide and commit to it. All aspects of safety are key. Maintenance is important; you need vehicles that are reliable and can be maintained. You also need the employees who not only want to, but who are trained to operate and maintain those vehicles safely and efficiently.
One of the most important parts of any transit system are your frontline employees; you must have their buy-in. You need a strategic plan that any higher up whether they be a council person, a board member or a politician can look at and say, "Wow this is what DDOT is all about and what their mission is." And you want the operators to read that exact same document and say, "This is why I come to work every day." That is a very important key to success in a transit system.
In the short time you have been in Detroit what has impressed you most?
Detroit pride. That really stands out and its fantastic. I am from Boston and I thought nobody could top their pride, especially in sports. People here really care about Detroit and want the best for the city. I know the mayor wants the best transit for Detroit; that is the first thing he said to me. I see the incredible potential for the advancement that Detroiters want to see. I feel my experience can take what we have and bring transit to the next level and give the people of Detroit a system they deserve.

Q: How to get file names from the directory, not the entire path I am using the below method to get the file names. But it returns the entire path and I don't want to get the entire path. I want only file names, not the entire path.
How can I get that only file names not the entire path
path= c:\docs\doc\backup-23444444.zip
string[] filenames = Directory.GetFiles(targetdirectory,"backup-*.zip");
foreach (string filename in filenames)
{ }

A: You could use the GetFileName method to extract only the filename without a path:
string filenameWithoutPath = Path.GetFileName(filename);

A: Try GetFileName() method:
Path.GetFileName(filename);

A: System.IO.Path is your friend here:
var filenames = from fullFilename
                in Directory.EnumerateFiles(targetdirectory,"backup-*.zip")
                select Path.GetFileName(fullFilename);

foreach (string filename in filenames)
{
    // ...
}

A: You can use this, it will give you all file's name without Extension

    List<string> lstAllFileName = (from itemFile in dir.GetFiles()
                                               select Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(itemFile.FullName)).Cast<string>().ToList();

A: Linq is good
Directory.GetFiles( dir ).Select( f => Path.GetFileName( f ) ).ToArray();

Inventions of the Day
#Inventions of the Day
I would like to introduce an invention that is closely related to today, December 5th. This time, I would like to introduce the air defense radar invented by Sir Robert Alexander Watson Watt (1892.4.13~1973.12.5), a British electronics engineer and inventor. Robert Watson-Watt died 48 years ago today in Inverness, Scotland.
After studying engineering at university, Robert Watson-Watt worked on radio communications for the British Meteorological Office and other organizations. In 1935, as Nazi Germany was on the rise, he proposed an electromagnetic aircraft detection system to the British Air Ministry, which he tested in February, patented in April, and by the end of the year had increased its range to 60 miles (97 km). For this achievement, he was awarded the title of Knight in 1942.
As a result of this technology and air defense radar equipment, the British won the Battle of Britain in 1940. Later, in 1941, he was dispatched to the United States to advise on air defense systems after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Incidentally, there is a theory that Robert Watson-Watt is a descendant of James Watt, who improved the steam engine and sparked the Industrial Revolution (Japanese Wikipedia), but there seems to be no clear evidence (English Wikipedia).

An Integrated Approach To 2020 New Year Goals And Resolutions
FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- On the 112th anniversary of his historic flight, Gustave Whitehead Day was proclaimed in the Town of Fairfield by First Selectman Mike Tetreau.
Tetreau set aside Wednesday, Aug. 14, to honor Whitehead, who made historic first flight in Fairfield and Bridgeport in 1901, two years before the 1903 flight of the Wright Brothers in Kitty Hawk, N.C.
As a result of aviation historian John Brown's discovery of a panoramic photograph from 1901 showing Whitehead's inaugural flight, the authoritative aviation publication "Jane's All the World's Aircraft" recently endorsed Whitehead as the "first in flight."
"This recent revelation that Whitehead was first in flight is exciting and historic for the Town of Fairfield," Tetreau said. "Our town is very proud that one of our own has made an unforgettable legacy through his ingenuity and leap of faith."
Brown described Whitehead's flight in his "Condor #21" as follows: "Two months later, on August 14, 1901, he (Whitehead) invited the press to witness his first, successful, manned, powered flight. Whitehead's aircraft was 'roadable'. Its wings could be folded and it had wheelpower for driving on roads.
"Leaving Bridgeport shortly after midnight, he, his helpers and the press drove the aircraft under its own power 15 miles to the same Fairfield site as the previous tests. They arrived at first light (4:32am according to current US Navy tables).
"After rigging the machine, Whitehead took off at dawn (5:02am), flying first half a mile, then on his second flight, a mile and a half at a height of 50 feet, making a shallow turn along the way to avoid a clump of chestnut trees."
On Wednesday, Aug. 21, the Fairfield Board of Selectmen will honor Andy Kosch for leading a team that built and flew a replica of Whitehead's airplane in 1986, proving the airworthiness of the design and refuting many Whitehead critics. Kosch will be honored at the Board of Selectmen meeting in Independence Hall at 4:30 pm.
For more information on Whitehead, contact the Fairfield first selectman's office at 203-256-3030 or the Fairfield Museum and History Center at 203-259-1598. In addition, the public can learn more about this historic first flight at this website .

The Authority was created, under the Pennsylvania Municipal Authorities Act of 1945, as amended and supplemented, on February 5, 1942 as an operating authority to distribute supplies of fresh water for industrial and domestic purposes within its service area. The authority is governed by the Act and a Board that consists of five members who are appointed by Portage Borough, Cambria County, Pennsylvania. The Authority currently serves Portage Borough, Portage Township and Cassandra Borough.
The Authority owns the Benscreek and Martindale reservoirs and treament plants. The Authority uses these reservoirs as its supply sources. The Authority has the ability to withdraw 1 million gallons per day for these sources. In additon, each reservoir site has a well for backup.
Mr. Martin sold the plant to Horace Tompkins who in turn sold it to the Portage Water Company.
Portage Water Company increased the capacity of the reservoir to 17,500,000 gallons by raising the breast of the wall.
The spillway at the Martindale reservoir had been repaired.
Purchase Water Company sold its holdings to the Jersey Shore Water Company, a subsidiary of the General Water Works and increased the capacity of the reservoir to 18,000,000 gallons by removing the soil from the bottom.
A 300,000 gallon tank was installed on Mountain Avenue, one of the highest points in the borough, maintains a constant pressure in the distribution system and suppplies the highest points.
The Martindale reservoir spillway had washed out entirely and a new spillway was built.
The Council of the Borougho of Portage creaged the "Municipal Authority of the Borough of Portage" consisting of five board members to enter into negotiations for purchasing and operate the water works for the betterment of the town.
The Authority was created, under the Pennsuylvania Municipal Authorities Act of 1945, as amended and supplemented, on February 5, 1942. In April 1942, negotiations began with the Jersey Shore Water Company. The authority assumed control on October 1, 1942.
In time the Martindale reservoir spillway developed cracks in the concrete sides and underflow, and there was danger that the concrete sides would collapse and destroy the supply of water. The authority engaged the Pressure Concrete Company to make the repairs.


A digital agency with design at our heart.
This is how we think.
We don't just want people to notice your brand. We want them to feel it. To remember yours as the brand who stopped them dead in their tracks and showed them the world as they've never seen it before.
For us, the thing that creates these emotional connections is design. Hair-raising, spine-tingling, heart-pumping design. The end result? A customer who doesn't just know your brand, but one who loves it.
Some things we believe in.
Bigger isn't always better. Especially when it comes to project teams. We prefer to work in small, agile groups. This helps us innovate better, deliver sooner and communicate more clearly. Together (that's with you included) we'll get under the skin of your brand to understand your business needs.
When a project requires it, we call on reinforcements. Our sister agency is based in Sydney and is one of the largest independent agencies in Australia (they told us to say g'day, by the way). They're usually sipping morning coffees just as we're turning in for the night. So together we're able to form an agency that never sleeps. This means we can deliver work in half the normal time whenever you need us to. Which is very handy if you find yourself with an awesome project but a slightly-less-than-awesome deadline.


Stupid Rubbish… » Baby talk.
Why is it that an alarmingly huge majority of people talk to young children in such a stupid, stupid way?
It's bad enough that kids know absolutely sh!t all of anything, and you need to explain, re-explain and generally lifewaste yourself senseless in order to make them do anything worthwhile whatsoever, but to act out the whole thing to an imaginary audience of pretend idiots is just utterly batsh!t insane.
Supermarket parents; why make such a big stupid pantomime announcement of everything you say to your baby toddler?
Why on earth imagine that anyone else is even vaguely interested?
It's your little spud, just sort it's crying face out yourself, quietly, or bizarrely put random grapes that you haven't paid for yet inside it's gob, as if you have special magical rights to just use the shop as a fridge on your way around.
I believe that at least some of this insanity stems from children's TV, which is basically one long visual blast of completely sh!t mental illness involving all manner of deeply disturbing characters.
At what point did we suddenly decide, as a species, that the best thing to expose our whinging offspring to is basically terrible daytime horror in the guise of animated stories about stupid-shaped f*ckwits?
The point is, just stop talking to baby people like you're on stage at Butlins and making a pathetic presentation to a registered f*cking imbecile.
