04 20 HENRY W. KRONITZ (05 24 1878 – 04 20 1956)
"Pete" Kronitz, Retired Hotel Operator, Dies
H. W. (Pete) Kronitz, 77, of 902 South Eighth Street, died late last night at his home while seated in a chair listening to the Milwaukee Braves - St. Louis baseball game broadcast over the radio. He was found this morning by his son-in-law, E. F. Lemmerhirt, city treasurer, when he arose and heard the radio playing. He went to investigate and found Mr. Kronitz dead in the chair. A heart attack was given as the cause of death.
Mr. Kronitz had listened to the game after other members of the household retired for the night. He usually went to bed when the game ended and it is assumed that he died before the game came to a close last night because the radio was playing when he was found this morning.
Mr. Kronitz was one of Watertown's most widely known men. He operated the Washington Hotel until his retirement on July 1, 1947, after 41 years in the hotel business.
At that time he sold the business to Richard T. Muhs of Burlington, Wis., who later sold it to its present owners and operators Mr. and Mrs. Fred Roberts.
Mr. Kronitz was born in the hotel on May 24, 1878, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kronitz. His father was then operating the place.
Mr. Kronitz was a lifelong resident of Watertown and attended St. Mark's Christian Day School and Northwestern College.
He was married to Miss Emma Christensen here on Sept. 28, 1901, by the late Rev. John Brockmann. She survives as do a daughter, Mrs. Lemmerhirt, this city; a grandson, Richard H. Lemmerhirt, Kohler, Wis., and two grandchildren, Heidi and Lisa Lemmerhirt.
A brother, Louis A. Kronitz, for many years city assessor here, and a sister, Mrs. Otto Nowack, preceded Mr. Kronitz in death.
He was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church.
The funeral will be Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock in St. John's Church, the Rev. E. F. Quandt officiating. Interment will be in Oak Hill Cemetery.
Friends may pay their respects at the Schmutzler Funeral Home Monday from 3 to 9 p.m and up to 10 a.m. on Tuesday. The body will be in state at the church after 11 a.m. Tuesday.
Aside from his other interests, baseball and horses were his hobbies. Mr. Kronitz was active in early day baseball in Watertown and retained an interest in it throughout his life. His friendships and acquaintances extended many men in baseball circles.
Among traveling men he had a wide circle of friends and many of them dropped in year after year to be his guests at his hotel. Many were from distant states who made Watertown their business stop during their regular travels.
Mr. Kronitz was one of the boosters of. the old Watertown Inter-County Fair which closed here in the middle 1920s. He regularly raced horses here and at other fairs and followed that sport as an active participant for many years.
As a hotel operator Mr. Kronitz was a first-rate host. He had a friendly and pleasing personality and was at ease in a crowd. He liked people and he enjoyed having them about. He was a good story teller and possessed a warm and friendly disposition and a sense of humor. He was the kind of man of whom it could be said that "it was a pleasure to meet up with."
The Washington Hotel which Mr. Kronitz operated for so many years dates back to 1855. It was known first as the Washington House and was built by Herman Schroeder. In 1875 the late Fred, Kronitz acquired it. It was destroyed by fire a year later and in 1877 was rebuilt.
When "Pete' Kronitz took it over he made extensive improvements and in more recent years he carried out a large building project which more than doubled its capacity. He built it into a modern hotel.
It can be said that people in all walks of life here and elsewhere who knew and respected Mr. Kronitz were saddened by his death.
10 06 HUB FOR THE ONION SHIPMENTS
Some of Watertown's parking restriction involving trucks, notable in the Old Armory area, are tending to threaten local business. The issue came into the open when it was announced that a large fleet of trucks will be operating out of the city in the next three months as a result of the "onion kings" - Brand Bros. Produce Co. of Atlanta, Ga., again setting up their headquarters here at the Hotel Washington. Brand Bros. are making this the hub of the onion shipments from Wisconsin and they will be shipping an estimated 1,000 carloads of onions from here to all parts of the nation.

History of Watertown, Wisconsin


The market for mobile biometric security products and services is expected to grow significantly over the next five years, according to new research.
Carried out by leading research, analysis and consultancy organisation Goode Intelligence, the report published this week predicts that 3.4 billion users will be using biometrics on their mobile devices by 2018 - generating over £5 billion worth of revenue for the industry.
It is also predicted that fingerprint sensors will become a standard feature in most high-end mobile devices by 2015.
Biometrics on mobile devices have been around since 1999, however the environment for such technology to be used in consumer devices has only recently become favourable. Previously, biometric security was mainly associated with high-end security in areas such as border control, but the arrival of the Apple iPhone 5S and Touch ID with fingerprint technology has radically changed the market, according to the report.
"Biometrics on mobile devices will flourish", said Alan Goode, the author of the study and founder of Goode Intelligence.
"Apple's decision to launch its latest flagship iPhone, the iPhone 5S with an embedded touch fingerprint sensor, was a pivotal moment for the biometrics industry and will accelerate the Consumerisation of Biometrics trend."
Goode predicts that consumer smart mobile device (SMD) manufacturers will aim to follow Apple in integrating fingerprint sensors into their products, causing a large surge in the biometrics industry.
Beyond smart phones, biometric technology could also be embedded into wearable electronics, as well as smart cars and houses.
"(Biometric technology) will become even more important in the post-smartphone world and will offer us a much more personal computing experience – in this world biometrics may well hold the key for identity and user interaction."


Fred Dutton of Official Nintendo Magazine got his hands on the Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks, and with the newest release of the magazine hitting shelves this Friday, Fred has answered many questions concerning Spirit Tracks. The answers don't give away too many spoilers, so unless you are trying to stay away from everything related to the game, it should be safe to read.
There were naturally several comparisons to Phantom Hourglass. Lets first start off with some of the bad news. Fred's answers conflicted with some previous thoughts that have been said about the game. One in particular is that Fred says the game is rather similar in difficulty to that of Phantom Hourglass, which will undoubtedly be disappointing to many Zelda fans who felt Phantom Hourglass was just way too easy. Additionally, it has been confirmed that the game has just five major dungeons, although he did state there were several minor dungeons. The train seems to be a complete replacement of the steamboat from Phantom Hourglass. Just as Linked docked at fixed locations in Phantom Hourglass, he gets off his train at fixed train stations, meaning there is no open overworld navigation. Lastly, Fred mentioned that there isn't as much customization of the train as there was with the boat in Phantom Hourglass.
There was plenty of things mentioned that I felt could be considered good news. Fred states that Rupees play a more prominent role in the game as things are more expensive and treasures return and play a role. He mentions that there are several returning characters in the game from the Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass that we don't know of yet, but he did not spoil who these characters actually are. Fred also says that there are returning races in the game, as well as a few new ones. Perhaps one of the more exciting things that he said concerned the storyline of the game. His response to what the storyline is like is posted below.
This is one of the strong points in my opinion. Out of all the 'toon Link' titles, it's easily the darkest and the Phantom Zelda conceit is a great little twist. Cole is a memorable adversary, there's plenty of fan service in the narrative and, all in all, it's a really tight package.
It's looking more and more like the storyline will attract Zelda fans that were turned off by the storyline of Phantom Hourglass, while the gameplay, difficulty, and openness (or lack thereof), will resemble Phantom Hourglass. The game is set to ship in North America in just three weeks on December 7th.

Washington Post questions ethics in Indian media
"Do you have in mind a clear political solution, even if you have not revealed the specifics?" Mr. N. Ram of The Hindu who was awarded 'Sri Lanka Ratna' gave the lead to Mahinda Rajapaksa in a recent interview. The Hindu, lobbying for Colombo, later titled the news "I have a political solution in mind: President Rajapaksa." The Sri Lanka president in fact sounded vicious when he said "We defeated terrorists, not freedom fighters…What we refused to give Prabakaran, we won't give to others," and even on provincial elections he said "We can't have elections under the 1981 Census," indicating what schemes are hatching in his mind. Meanwhile, Indian journalists are accused of secretly helping politicians, businesses, said the lead of an article in Washington Post, Monday, in the context of a multibillion-dollar scandal causing the resignation of a DMK minister in the New Delhi Establishment.

Hi my name is Wonderlusting Lynda and I am a cleansaholic. Just a reminder in case you are new around these parts (welcome). I love discovering new cleansers. Today I'm taking a look at Harborist Balm Gel Cleanser the first launch from the new indie, British skincare brand.
Hertfordshire based company is run by a blockbuster visual effects artist with an Oscar winning film under her belt. Like many natural and organic skincare brands the line was created due to the founder's personal experience with a child who had eczema prone skin as well as her own increasing sensitivity.
So on to my thoughts on the 'truly gentle' cleansing balm. With a name like that it had better be!….
The cleanser comes in an airtight pump action, plastic bottle which is great for preservation and the 100ml size makes it handy for travel. In an ideal world I would like to see this reusable or recyclable. The pretty blue water-colour label states the ingredients and also the expiry date.
There's the misconception that everything natural is automatically great for sensitive skin when actually natural can be extremely potent and trigger reactions in those with allergies. Think grass and hayfever as an example…..
Though called a cleansing balm, the texture is more what I would call an oil gel. On contact with the skin, it melts and glides then emulsifies and becomes milky when water is added. To use I apply with dry hands to a dry face then dampen my hands to massage in. More water and it washes off cleanly without any tightness. You can also remove with a cloth but I prefer to rinse off. I was particularly impressed with how well the Harborist Balm Gel cleanser whipped off make-up often in just one cleanse. Perfect for evenings when you're knackered but refuse to go to bed without cleansing (remember I'm a cleansaholic).
All in all, it is truly gentle, kind to skin and most of all effective. This is a sensitive skinned god(dess)'s cleanser dream. In fact sensitive skin or not, everyone's skin needs a bit of gentleness. I know there are plans to expand the range so I look forward to seeing what other sensitive skin friendly products Harborist has up its sleeve.
Harborist balm gel cleanser, 100ml, RRP £22 Harborist.co.uk (NB: the company has just recently rebranded from Harbour Elements to Harborist).
*Media sample provided for review purposes. All opinions are mine and honest obvs.
Hi! Have you tried Herbfarmacy beauty balm or Therapi Ultra Radiance cream? I find they're both little miracle walkers (if you do a search on the blog I've written about both). Also I find layering with an oil and appying to damp skin helps a lot!
Thank you for your fast reply. I think I will try the Therapi Ultra Radiance cream since I have not tried yet anything from that brand before. I am also a cleansaholic. It doesn't matter if I come home at 4 am in the morning from a party. I clean my face before I go to bed. Have you tried anything from Esse? I adore their products – especially from their sensitive line.
Funnily enough I've been researching probiotic skincare and keep looking at Esse so they're on my 'to try' list but haven't got round to trying anything yet.

The first purchase in Barolo, the last by Luigi Einaudi, lies in the hills between Barolo and the high road that connects the villages of Novello and La Morra.
4.80 hectares, of which almost 3 are dedicated to the Barolo Terlo wine, the rest to Terlo Vigna Costa Grimaldi. The purchase was concluded in 1958 and made "for pride", as Luigi Einaudi himself would recount.
question: was it my own production?
It bothered me confessing that it wasn't mine.
Therefore I bought these vineyards.".

Resurrection (1899) tells the story of a nobleman`s attempt to redeem the suffering his youthful philandering inflicted on a peasant girl who ends up a prisoner in Siberia. Tolstoy`s vision of redemption achieved through loving forgiveness, and his condemnation of violence, dominate the novel. An intimate, psychological tale of guilt, anger and forgiveness, Resurrection is at the same time a panoramic description of social life in Russia at the end of the nineteenth century, reflecting its author`s outrage at the social injustices of the world in which he lived.

Jennifer Ruiz Named AGPA Fellow
By Fenway HealthDecember 17, 2019Featured Articles, Fenway Health Newsroom
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Jennifer Ruiz, a staff psychiatrist with Fenway Health since 2006 who is based primarily at the South End, was awarded a Fellowship with the American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA) earlier this year. Following graduation from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Dr. Ruiz completed her psychiatry residency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles followed by a two-year fellowship in psychodynamic psychotherapy through the Adams House program of Faulkner Hospital.
Since the beginning of her time at Fenway, Dr. Ruiz has been active in providing group therapy in addition to psychopharmacology management and addiction treatment support. She has led three long-term women's interpersonal groups, co-led a suboxone treatment group, and developed and led the first CBT for Anxiety skills groups, for which she developed the manual. Dr. Ruiz also developed a group treatment manual for a prior Fenway Institute study called 40 and Forward, a peer-led group helping provide skills around dating and safer sex to gay men as they age, and led the weekly resident training "T-group" at the McLean/MGH combined program for three years.
In addition to her group therapy work, the Fellowship award took into account her extended volunteer work and leadership within the Northeastern Society for Group Psychotherapy (NSGP) and AGPA, including serving as an NSGP Board member, a chair of multiple committees including the educational program of NSGP and the Community Health Organizations and Institutions SIG at AGPA, and as co-editor of the NSGP newsletter for seven years.
Dr. Ruiz has been leading a gay men's intimacy group at Fenway Health since 2008 and facilitates group therapy lectures and a professionalism seminar for the interns in the Behavioral Health department.
Please join us in congratulating Dr. Ruiz on this Fellowship!

I initially traveled to Barcelona in order to photograph the Sagrada Familia for about 10 years until its completion. However, after many visits I began interacting with people who have deep wrinkles and gathered in the park to enjoy playing games, additionally, there were historic buildings that wonderful architects created over a tremendous amount of time, and on those same streets modern buildings coexisted, I was fascinated by that encounter of the life of the people, so I decided to shoot not only Sagrada Familia, but all of Barcelona. While walking around the city, or sometimes while carrying my camera on a bicycle, I could enjoy taking pictures and in those moments I received gifts from the gods of photography.

Абсолют, абсолютизм (від  — безумовний, необмежений, незалежний) — в ідеалістичній філософії і релігійних тлумаченнях — вічна, незмінна нескінченна першооснова Всесвіту (бог, абсолютна ідея тощо). Те, що нічим не зумовлене, ні від чого не залежне.

Абсолютне завжди визначене собою, те, що існує через себе, а отже самостійне і незалежне. Разом з тим категорія «абсолютне» означає й «досконале», «повне». Абсолютне розкривається у своїх визначеннях, відрізняє себе в своїх властивостях і проявляється самим собою у всіх відношеннях. Поняття метафізики, що позначає те, що не піддане законам народження й смерті, становлення, а тому вічне, незмінне й досконале. Абсолют — це «позамежне» стосовно людської спроможності почуттєвого сприйняття. Поняття «абсолют» передбачає безумовне існування досконалої першооснови буття (Бог, Дух, Ідея, Слово, і т. д.).

Як синоніми абсолюту наводяться: абсолютний дух, абсолютна ідея, Безмежність, Абсолютний Розум, Мудрість, абсолютна свідомість і абсолютне буття.

Матеріалістична філософія відкидає ідеалістичне поняття абсолюту і визнає єдиною основою Всесвіту матерію, яка існує вічно в русі і розвитку.

Основні відомості
Термін вперше з'явився в давньоримській філософії, але набув широкого поширення тільки в XVIII столітті завдяки Мозеса Мендельсону і Фрідріху Генріху Якобі, які їм позначали категорію «Бога, або Природи» в пантеїстичної філософії Бенедикта Спінози. Вічна незмінна першооснова світу, першооснова всього сущого, яке мислиться єдиним, загальним, безначальним, нескінченним і протистоїть всякому відносному і зумовленому буттям. Абсолют є результатом узагальнення понять. Абсолютна протиставляється відносному (або релятивному) — умовному, залежному від тих чи інших умов, минущого, тимчасового. У давньогрецькій філософії абсолютне витлумачувалося як сторона досконалості, завершеності, самодостатності і виражалося поняттями «за своєю природою», «саме по собі», «в чистому вигляді»; йому протиставлялося відносне як залежне від іншого або відноситься до іншого.

Поняття в філософії
Для Піфагора абсолют — це Одиниця; для Платона — Єдине або Благо; у Аристотеля — "Перводвигатель Конфуцій розумів під абсолютом — Піднебесну; Шанкара — Брахмана; у Йоганна Готліба Фіхте — абсолютне «Я»; Лао Цзи — дао (чисте небуття, природний порядок всіх речей); Георг Фрідріх Вільгельм Гегель — абсолютну ідею.

Особливо широко термін «абсолютне» використовувався в середньовічній філософії, причому в різних сенсах. Під абсолютним розумілося, зокрема: вільний від матеріальних умов, від випадковості; застосувати до всякого буття; необумовлене; не пов'язане з якимись причинами; вільний від розумових обмежень.
У сучасній філософії багатозначність абсолютного збереглася. Абсолютна може означати вчинене, завершене, універсальне, необумовлене, вільний від обмежень, а також невимовне, не здатне бути предметом думки, суворе, буквальне, беззастережне, яка не є символічним або метафоричним. Наприклад: «абсолютна істина», «абсолютний простір», «абсолютна Его», «абсолютна Необумовлене» і т. П.

Поняття в релігії
В монотеїстичних релігіях поняття абсолюту співвідноситься з уявленнями про Бога: юдаїзм і каббала — Ейн соф, християнство — Бог Отець; іслам — Аллах; в індуїстських релігіях: індуїзм — Брахман; буддизм — Аді-Будда; даосизм — Дао.

"Today's motor sector is a very sophisticated industry offering a wide range of opportunities for young people to develop a successful, satisfying and rewarding careers.
"I believe that business today has a responsibility to be part of the communities where it is based and from where it draws its workforce. I look forward to the entire Group and our teams working closely with The Trust to make a difference to the lives of young people in the towns and cities where we operate."
Paul Rose, Chairman of The Prince's Trust's Development Committee in Yorkshire and the Humber, said:
"I am delighted to welcome the Vantage Group as a Patron of The Trust in this milestone, 40th anniversary year.
"It's excellent news that Mark has agreed to join our Development Committee whose role is to support and drive fundraising across the region. I am sure his skills, contacts and commitment will prove to be a positive addition to the team."

Please don't forget to follow the links to Master Eibokken on Korea and the Korean Language : Supplementary remarks to Hamel's Narrative (1975) They really contain important additional informative material.. I want to acknowledge the efforts of Jan Boonstra put into making the gif's and html source code for this page.
I'm doing this project in honor of J.H. ten Hove, Hamel and the other persons mentioned over here. And also to give non-Dutch speaking people the opportunity to compare the two books. Though I realize that my text rambles due to the translation and in an attempt to make it look like a little bit old fashioned English as well as to make people taste the right atmosphere. So I'm open to all kinds of comments and improvements. I'm doing this on the Internet to make it more accessible to everybody, also because it's free for everybody who has access to the Internet and easy to change and add things. I want to thank Wim Hamel for helping me in many ways and I also want to thank Jan Boonstra for proofreading and correcting my text, more about Jan you can find on the links in my home page. Jan and Young Hee also visited Duijtsiang (Pyongyong near Kangjin) and made pictures there, follow this link to see them and his story. Much later I went there too and to Cheju-do too to do some research.
Furthermore I want to fully credit and thank Oh Yong Chul for the Korean translation, which I fine-tuned with the help of my wife An Young Jin, I also want to thank her for the patience she took with me, to make it possible to take all the time I needed to develop and write this homepage, after all it too me more then 5 years to do so.


As I'm sure almost everyone knows, Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's former attorney, testified before Congress this week. While Cohen testified before three House committees, this post addresses his comments to a public session of the House Oversight Committee.
Now that Trump has declared a national emergency at the border with Mexico, I thought we should discuss national emergencies. I will briefly describe the National Emergencies Act and its key provisions.
A 7-8-year-old white woman who lobbies Wall Street for cash and whose politics trend toward the center doesn't embody today's Democratic Party. Still, the House should be led by Speaker Pelosi in January. The idea of Pelosi returning to the speakership comes with the following caveat.
Even before Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed, many Democrats were talking about impeaching him. While I would have never voted to confirm Kavanaugh and while I do believe he could be impeached, talking about impeaching him is stupid. The reason is simple: Democrats are unlikely to have the votes and Republicans will use talk of impeachment as an election issue.


Bernd shared a white paper this morning, "Analysis of an Ultrasound-Based Physical Tracking System " by Cunche and Cardoso (https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01798091/document) which goes over how they rever engineered an ultrasound-based in-store tracking application. They wrote an app that generates it's own ultrasonic sounds to jam such applications. Souce code is available (alegedly, their GitLab instance was having an issue when I looked at it.) The site does have samples of ultrasonic applications caught in the lab and in the wild (http://sonicontrol.fhstp.ac.at/) which you could use for you experiments.

Q: TypeError: 'numpy.ndarray' object is not callable when using pandas .values() I was testing a simple connection from an Amazon Redshift database to my local database using PostgreSQL. I wrote a query to obtain a table from the database, and converted that to a pandas DataFrame. Now, whenever I want to apply some functions on the DataFrame objects, I get the following error. I have tried several times to modify it, and looked up a lot of solutions, but can't seem to work around with it.
cur.execute("QUERY for PostgreSQL")
rows = cur.fetchall()
print("Received as rows")
col_names = []
for i in cur.description:
    col_names.append(i[0])
df = pd.DataFrame.from_records(rows, columns = col_names)

A: As @jezrael pointed out in the comments,
df.values is not a function, so you don't need to call it. Just use df.values instead of df.values().

Jon Cryer
Jon Cryer is the comic actor who plays opposite Charlie Sheen in the television series Two and a Half Men. Cryer made his film debut as a love-struck teen in the 1984 comedy No Small Affair (opposite Demi Moore), and he remains famous for one of his earliest roles, as "Duckie," Molly Ringwald's geeky pal in the 1986 movie Pretty in Pink. Cryer went on to appear in the movies Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987, starring Christopher Reeve), Dudes (1987) and Hot Shots (1991, with Sheen), but since the 1990s most of his work has been in television. After several failed series -- The Famous Teddy Z (1989), Partners (1995) and The Trouble with Normal (2000) -- Cryer hit it big in 2003 with the success of Two and a Half Men. Nominated four times for an Emmy, he won in 2009 as best supporting actor in a comedy.

Q: Readify Where clause can't contain Intersect()? I have objects that contain a list that is stored in Neo4j just fine, but I'm unable to do an intersect in the neo4j query (I get an object not defined exception in the Readify expression code). I've had to resort to bringing back all the results and doing the intersection outside of the cypher query. Each list is a List and I am just calling Intersect() on them.
The Readify expression doesnt support them though. Anyone know a way around this ?
Match()
.Where( (u) => u.myList.Intersect(otherList).Count() == 1)

A: Thanks Tatham !
I ended up solving this by using "WHERE in x" subarray matching. I just created the where clause on the fly and pass this as a string to the neo client. Forgot the WHERE function could take a string OR a lamda

NEW YORK — Practicality will be the big push for coat makers this spring — in styling and planning.
Hammered by this fall's dismal business — brought on by the cool economy and unseasonably warm temperatures — vendors are hopeful that some volume will be made up in the late Christmas rush and throughout the January clearance sales.
However, a season of big profits is all but lost. So, all outerwear executives can do is react to the times and plan business down and play up versatile styles — detachable linings and multifunctional, lightweight fabrics — starting with the spring collections.
But even if the economy starts to turn around by the second quarter, coat makers know the season only accounts for 10 to 15 percent of annual sales. It's the fall-winter business that troubles coat makers most, as climactic conditions continue to impact their business.
Adding to vendor worries, sportswear firms and catalog houses such as L.L. Bean, Eddie Bauer and Lands' End continue to go after market share in the category with lightweight jackets for their brand-conscious shoppers.
Ted Goldsmith, executive vice president of Herman Kay Bromley, said: "When you compare this year to last year, which was nirvana, it's like going from the North Pole to the South Pole. Everyone is being very conservative and watching the business from week to week."
Herman Kay, the maker of the proprietary Herman Kay, Bromley and Jason Kole lines, and the licensed Anne Klein, Anne Klein 2 and Albert Nipon labels, has seen stellar sell-through on select early spring styles. However, the company has refrained from producing more of those items for fear that retailers would still be bogged down with winter goods in the early part of the year, Goldsmith said.
"Stores are in liquidation mode," he said. "They're not aggressively planning and spending. Even if we do some business, it will be residual. Stores don't lend themselves for a healthy spring business or the opportunity for business. Right now, they would rather pass on [reorder] business than carry too much."
During these trying times, it is essential to examine what consumers are buying and how much they spend, and then be "ever mindful" of that with future designs, said Jeanette Nostra, president of G-III Apparel Group. Shoppers are favoring practical, comfortable clothes and shying away from luxury items, she said.
G-III, which makes Cole-Haan, Jones New York wool coats, Kenneth Cole, Nine West and Sienna Studio outerwear, plans to go ahead with spring advertising, since "difficult times are the time to be aggressive to drive bookings," Nostra said. Each brand is also heavy on practical elements like zip-out linings and Thinsulate.
Department stores, in particular, have been hit hard by this fall's sluggish sales and, in many cases, have scaled back spring orders. While no tier is doing great, specialty stores are doing OK and mass market and mid-tier stores are faring the best, Nostra said. Given that, flat sales for spring is "as good as it's going to get," she said.
For the first time in five years, Woolrich is getting into spring outerwear as part of its plan to maintain retail floor space on a year-round basis. The 10-piece collection consists of reversible jackets, microfleece items and rainwear.
After emerging from Chapter 11 earlier this year, which enabled it to shed most of its troublesome retail division, London Fall Industries plans for 10 percent gains for spring and is back into advertising with a younger image. LFI's Pacific Trail unit acquired Moonstone outerwear and Roffe skiwear from the Gerry Group in August.
Lederle Eberhardt, senior merchandise manager for Woolrich, said: "We're not doing this to increase business. As an outerwear manufacturer, we wanted to give validity to our brand and we didn't want to lose our fall floor space."
Ira Schwartz, chief executive officer of Free Country, said when the thermometer reads 60 degrees in December, coat departments are not prime destinations for shoppers, he added.
Free Country will continue to focus on transitional styles such as microsuede coats, fleece-bonded sherpa and active outerwear with zippered linings. The latter is a strong point in spring business, especially nylon or polyester styles with colorblocking, Schwartz said.
Bernard Holtzman, president and head designer for Harve Benard, said the trick to outerwear is to focus on innovation, especially since coats are one of the last things that retailers haven't effectively tackled with their private label programs.
Despite plans to finish this year 17 percent ahead of last year, Holtzman said spring sales should be flat, due to excess inventories stores will have. Devoting 40 percent of his fall collection to lightweight options and working with specialty stores have helped sales. Department stores, on the other hand, have been forced to mark down heavily.
For his brand, he's counting on 40-inch raincoats and nontraditional, sporty style coats to drive spring business. That diversity is why retailers have not tried to rework their spring orders with the brand, he said.
Donald Levy, president of The Levy Group, described business as better than anticipated given the economic conditions. Fall sell-through rates have been around 10 percent per week, five percentage points shy of the average minimum, he said. The firm produces the licensed Liz Claiborne Coats, Dana Buchman and Esprit outerwear lines, as well as its own Donnybrook and Braetan coat collections.
"Business is not good, but it's not a disaster either. It's an item-driven business," Levy said. "Once the weather turns, it should pick up."
To shorten lead times by several weeks, the Levy Group is doing more sourcing from China and Vietnam to be closer to its manufacturing in Korea. The company used to handle a lot of production from the Ukraine, but still does some there.
Like several others, Donna Karan Coats, a division of Fairbrooke Enterprises, is dealing with buyers who are planning spring business to be flat.
The brand is pushing Teflon-finished bistretch coats with notch collars or deep V-necks and sleek black raincoats, said Lauren Davidoff, assistant account executive. Interest in trench coats, leather jackets and luxury styles has fallen off, but white is still hot, she said.
The spring collection is "slimmed down" to simplify buying decisions for shoppers and buyers. Davidoff said: "We need the consumer to say, 'I need this coat,' instead of, 'I can get by with what I have."'
European lines have made headway in the U.S. in recent years and continue to sharpen their approach.
For the first time, Cinzia Rocca, an Italian label, will be running a spring print campaign in the U.S. to remind customers that the brand can be found through the year, said Jennifer Duca, director of sales.
Romasport, also is trying to increase its presence in the U.S. The company has opened a 2,000-square-foot showroom at 214 West 39th Street to showcase its sporty, colorful spring line. Spring sales are expected to account for 40 percent of annual sales — well above its usual rate of 10 or 15 percent, said Joni Wilkins, vice president.
On the whole, Romasport is planning sales to reach $4 million to $5 million next year, a 30 percent gain, Wilkins said.

Q: How can I remove Meta Custom Fields buttons from WooCommerce orders list? I need to remove the Delete and Update buttons from the custom fields in the WooCommerce order list. I can see a function within wp-admin/includes/templates.php is controlling this but I only want it to affect the orders page - I don't want it to affect any other WordPress functionality. Ideally I'd like a PHP solution that physically removes the buttons - not a Javascript solution that hides them.
Any help is highly appreciated.

A: Due to no answers I have managed to use the following as a workaround. It doesn't physically remove the buttons - but hides them using CSS:
function hide_delete_update_buttons($order_id) {

    if(is_admin() && current_user_can('manage_woocommerce')) {

        add_action('admin_head', 'hide_delete_update_buttons_css');

    }

}

function hide_delete_update_buttons_css() {
    echo '<style>.post-type-shop_order #the-list .deletemeta { display: none !important; } .post-type-shop_order #the-list .updatemeta { display: none !important; }</style>';
}

add_action('wp_loaded', 'hide_delete_update_buttons');

Not ideal - but will work for now.

No high-speed Internet in JK for now, Home Ministry tells SC
Committee will review its decision after two months: MHA
Srinagar: As the Home Ministry of India has decided to continue the restrictions in the region, People in Jammu and Kashmir will not be getting high-speed (4G) Internet anytime soon.
Earlier in a week, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) informed the Supreme Court (SC) that a special committee was constituted to look into the issue of restoring 4G Internet in J&K and it has decided against resuming the services.
In response to a contempt petition against the central government, the Ministry in an affidavit filed two days ago, said that the committee will review its decision after two months.
"Based on a considered and wide-ranging assessment of the prevailing situation in this sensitive region, the committee arrived at a decision that no further relaxation of restrictions on Internet services, including 4G services, could be carried out at present," reads a response by MHA to SC.
The Ministry added that the situation will be reviewed by other competent authorities for the next two months. If there is an improvement, appropriate action would accordingly be taken.
On July 16, MHA's affidavit follows a direction by a Supreme Court bench, led by Justice N.V. Ramana, to answer allegations of contempt raised against it in a petition by the Foundation of Media Professionals (FMP).
The FMP petition had sought action against government officials for allegedly defying the top court's order to form the special committee. The bench had then observed that the government should have put the committee's decision, to not resume 4G Internet services in J&K, in the public domain.
On 11 May, the top court had directed the government to constitute a three-member high-powered committee to look into the issue of restoring 4G Internet services in J&K.
The mobile Internet in Jammu and Kashmir is available at low speed (2G) now.
In August 2019, the Centre abrogated Jammu and Kashmir's special status and locked down the region. The lockdown was followed by the democratic world's longest Internet shutdown, which was partially lifted on January 25 when authorities restored access to 2G Internet.
The denial of high-speed Internet has, however, prevented people from using banking apps, paying bills online and accessing other services.
The students are the latest to suffer now, as the slow Internet speed continues and school education in Kashmir has been affected severely over the last few months.
First, there was no schooling in the valley for six months last year following the abrogation of Article 370 by the Centre. The schools reopened briefly in March only to be closed days later because of the COVID outbreak.
Medical bodies are of the same opinion that amid the COVID pandemic, doctors in Kashmir are struggling to update themselves on the latest information on the deadly infection.

Sites like Facebook and Twitter provide users with a place to share personal information with friends family and the public — an activity that's proven to be hugely compelling to Internet users. In response to the demand technology is evolving to encourage the disclosure of information that was formerly discreet (like location) and to enable the sharing of information even when not sitting in front of a traditional computer (like from mobile phones).
But it doesn't take much forethought to realize that there are countless privacy pitfalls in a world where a near-endless stream of personal bits is indiscriminately posted indefinitely stored and quietly collected and analyzed by marketers, identity thieves, and professional government snoops in America and abroad. The public controversies that have erupted to date — Facebook's drastic terms of service changes and Google Buzz's forced sharing of email contacts — are only the first snares in a rapidly growing thicket of social networking privacy issues.
Here are some of the ways EFF is working to protect your privacy as the use of social networks grows:
EFF has gone toe-to-toe with the government to uncover hidden details about how they use social networking sites for investigations data collection and surveillance.
EFF works to expose issues with social networks as soon as they emerge from the leaking of information to advertisers or the policies of the sites themselves.
EFF helps savvy users better understand how to strengthen their privacy online and opt out of information sharing.

Anglo Catholic Church Planting: Recovering the Tradition
The Rev. Dr. David Goodhew
Church of England, Commentary, Ecclesiology, Ministry
By David Goodhew and John Wallace
Who is the greatest ever Anglo-Catholic parish priest? We'd put forward Walter Hook, vicar of the city of Leeds in northern England. When he arrived in Leeds in the 1830s, it had one church to serve its population of 150,000 (which was swiftly rising). Hook, in a lengthy incumbency, created 17 new parishes, as well as completely rebuilding the one church he'd inherited.
Hook was the Clark Kent of the Oxford Movement. But he was far from alone. In his passion for starting new churches, Hook chimed with a key part of the Tractarian tradition. The Anglo-Catholic revival was, in significant measure, a revival of church planting, notably in Britain and America. Most of the most prominent Anglo-Catholic parishes of today came into being through the work of Anglo-Catholic church planters in the nineteenth and early 20th centuries. This article shines light on two largely forgotten examples of that dynamic and argues for a recovery of the Anglo-Catholic tradition of church planting.
Father Richard Temple West is today almost totally forgotten. In 1860 Temple West became curate at the newly opened All Saints, Margaret Street in central London, then and now a center of Anglo-Catholic worship. In 1864, he was prevailed upon to start a church in Paddington, West London by wealthy people who lived in that area. He found an unpromising site, squashed in between the Grand Junction Canal and what was probably one of the worst slum areas in London. He built "a tin tabernacle" and started fundraising. The church, dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene, was eventually, after a number of setbacks, finished in 1874, although in use before that date. On Easter Day 1872, at six celebrations of Mass there were 1,122 communicants and £1,180 in the offertory – the equivalent of about $250,000 today.
Temple West was as energetic in social compassion as he was in worship. He started and maintained a choir school, a sisters home, a penitentiary home, a working men's club, a nurses institute, private schools for different classes and a dependent church, St. Martha's. There were also things outside the parish, a female ex-prisoners home in Ealing, and at Spelthorne, a sanatorium for inebriates. In addition, he did up to five hours visiting a day. He stayed at St Mary's for 28 years, the last 10 of which were overshadowed by increasing ill-health. The Times, in its obituary, referred to him as "one of the greatest high churchmen in London."
Alongside clerical dynamos, the Anglo-Catholic revival was also powered by lay benefactors. One such was Richard Foster, a merchant of the City of London. Born in 1822, in 1835 he entered his uncle's banking business as an alternative to ordination training — he hated Latin. Foster was very religious and his first contribution to church building was to give away the guinea which he had been given by his mother on his twenty-first birthday. He helped fund the building of many churches, particularly in the northeast London area of Walthamstow. He is recorded as having given away between 1858 and his death in 1910, over £300,000 in charitable donations — a huge sum, even by today's standards. The bulk of this went towards building churches in the Anglo-Catholic tradition.
Foster's heart for church planting is illustrated by the foundation stone of St Barnabas, Walthamstow, which reads:
This church of St Barnabas Walthamstow is to be built at the cost of Richard Foster, a merchant of London as a thank offering to Almighty God for numberless mercies during a long life. This stone was laid by the aforesaid Richard Foster on the 4th September 1902, being the day on which he completed his 80th year.
He later moved to South London but still involved himself in supporting church building, especially in deprived areas and linked them with churches in more prosperous areas.
These two men illustrate the pioneer spirit in the nineteenth-century Anglo-Catholic movement, but many others could be cited.
Many of the flagship Anglo-Catholic churches of today were planted in the 19th and early 20th centuries, founded to serve the burgeoning cities of the Victorian age. Anglo-Catholicism is founded on a high view of ancient tradition. But it often ignores how the foundations of Anglo-Catholic churches were only laid during the last 200 years.
This is a striking contrast with the last 30 years, when hardly any Anglo-Catholic churches have been planted in the U.S. or England. Rather, there has been a significant decline in the number of churches. By 2018, there were 313 fewer parishes/missions in the Episcopal Church than in 2011. Yet in recent decades the U.S. population has been skyrocketing, meaning huge areas of American cities are a long way from any TEC parish. Hook would have been aghast at such a state of affairs. The Anglo-Catholic tradition stakes so much on the importance of "tradition," but turns out to have ignored a key aspect of its tradition.
Yet key strands of Anglo-Catholic theology naturally fuel the planting of churches. Such strands (and there are many others) could fuel a recovery of Anglo-Catholic church planting.
Continual references to "taking the sacrament" or "being sacramental" usually mean receiving the Eucharist or being a church with frequent celebrations of the Eucharist. Such language makes being "sacramental" synonymous with being eucharistic – but it is never that. Even the lowest of low churchpeople would concede that there are at least two sacraments.
Once being "sacramental" is defined as having an equal emphasis on baptism as on the Eucharist, church practice has to change. The Eucharist is more about staying in the church, baptism is primarily about getting into the church. Baptism is the natural follow-on from people starting to follow Christ and know his salvation. When baptism is given its rightful emphasis, being sacramental asks whether we need more churches in which baptism can be accessed. It is sacramentality made missional.
Likewise, the word "apostolic" is all too often discussed in terms of apostolic succession. But what if "apostolic" is defined also as "behaving in the character of the apostles." That way the word "apostolic" ceases simply to refer to lists of bishops. "Apostolic" can refer to all Christians who act as if "sent," and who seek to found church communities. The layman, Richard Foster, was, by this definition, one of the most apostolic figures of the 19th century church.
Why has Anglo-Catholicism neglected church planting? One reason is its forgetfulness of its own tradition. Hook and many other priests of the Anglo-Catholic revival were no mere devotees of "salvation through haberdashery" (to quote Prof. Michael Snape), nor did they reduce the gospel simply to humanitarian relief. They labored heroically and at great personal cost for the poor, but they also understood that all people, rich and poor, needed Christian communities in their neighborhood if they were truly to connect with Christ. So, they set about planting churches.
The good news for contemporary Anglo-Catholicism is that the Anglo-Catholic tradition of church planting is just waiting to be recovered. The tradition of Hook, Temple West and Foster could inspire a fresh generation to look at the burgeoning cities of America, Britain and many other places and get planting.
