Making jewelry can be time consuming, exacting, and complicated. We appreciate the fine craftsmanship that goes into this sort of jewelry and offer many different shapes and styles that conform to this mode. However, we also believe that it's possible to simply curate – select the absolute best specimens of rocks for instance – and to couple those specimens with a very simple setting and you can create something magical too.
That's the genesis of this activity, Earth's Treasure Necklace. We provide a combination of three different settings, brass, copper, or steel, to use as the mount for the best rock specimen you select. Our rock selection is a little different each day as we only select the best candidates for use in the activity. On any given day, one might find quartz, amethyst, citrine, pyrite, opalite, kyanite, jasper, or many others from our dozens of rocks we discover and acquire for the shop.
This activity is great for yourself or to give as a gift and is available frequently. Make sure to check out the Events page for current Oddyssea Outside hours and activities.

Private harm tort law refers back to the aid of one's damage due to the negligent and wrongful acts of one other. Those who desire to ascertain comparable institutions should do as follows: Set up frequent ownership of property as in the republic of Plato; revere the gods as Plato commanded; stop foreigners from mingling with the people, as a way to protect the customs; let the state, instead of the residents, establish commerce. Furthermore, it should not be said that the law could also be philanthropic if, within the course of, it refrains from oppressing persons and plundering them of their property; this could be a contradiction.
A comprehensive legal dictionary adds to its physique of standard English entries many phrases and phrases that have made their means into modern legal practice from law French and Latin and are hardly ever found in a general English monolingual dictionary. four : If the particular privilege of government safety towards competition — a monopoly — have been granted only to at least one group in France, the iron workers, as an illustration, this act would so obviously be authorized plunder that it could not last for long.
Legal dictionaries revealed in print follow the normal apply of sorting entry terms alphabetically, whereas electronic dictionaries, such as the web Dictionary of Law on , allow direct, immediate entry to a search time period. In fact a settlement of an issue on a basically wrong principle of law is significantly to be deplored, but there should of necessity be many guidelines governing the relations between members of the identical society that are more essential in that their establishment creates a identified rule of motion than that they proceed on one principle or another.
The firm continues its strategy of discovering lawyers with expertise in legal work for the cannabis trade in a selected state after which building out other suitable practices. In response to their diploma of enlightenment, these plundered courses might suggest considered one of two totally different purposes after they attempt to realize political power: Either they might wish to cease lawful plunder, or they could want to share in it.
Written laws are like spiders' webs, and can like them only entangle and maintain the poor and weak, whereas the wealthy and highly effective will easily break by way of them. Preserving and defending the rights and freedoms of all individuals. Patriotism, prosperity, innovations, husbandry, science — all of those are given to the individuals by the operation of the laws, the rulers.

N.Korea 'Tested New Rocket Launchers'
The South Korean government has concluded that the six missiles North Korea launched into the sea between Saturday and Monday aimed to test new bigger multiple rocket launchers.
The missiles flew about 150 km, but their maximum range is estimated to be 180-200 km, a South Korean government official said Tuesday.
Until now the North was believed to have three kinds of multiple rocket launchers -- 107 mm, 122 mm, and 240 mm with a maximum range of less than 65 km.
But the new launchers could threaten South Korean military headquarters at Gyeryongdae in South Chungcheong Province and U.S. bases in Pyeongtaek and Osan, both in Gyeonggi Province, as well as the entire Seoul region.
With six to 12 launch tubes, mobile rocket launchers can fire more projectiles -- eight or nine rockets in 10 minutes -- than missile launch vehicles.
The launchers are difficult to detect until they start firing.
"South Korean and U.S. authorities concluded that they were multiple rocket launchers rather than short-range missiles given their launch speed, trajectory, and the shape the vehicles," the official said.
But the official added it is unlikely the new launchers have been deployed warfare-ready.
The test launches could be construed as provocative, although they "do not necessarily violate North Korea's international obligations," Pentagon spokesman George Little told reporters Monday.
Meanwhile, the U.S. test-launched an intercontinental ballistic missile dubbed Minuteman 3 on Tuesday, about a month after it decided to postpone the test in consideration of rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
On Saturday, North Korea denounced the Minuteman test as a "military provocation." With a range of 13,000 km, the missile has three W-68 170-kiloton nuclear warheads, each of which can strike a different target.

The railroad moved out of Thompson Station in 1869, and it was then relocated in the center of Brentwood. Local residents donated the land and money for a new frame depot. George E. Gilquist was the first Station Agent. The station remained in that spot until April 1903, when it burned down. Mr. Bureta, who was the Station Agent at that time, lit a fire in the old stove and left the building one day. The stove grow too hot, and the building caught fire. The L.I. Railroad then constructed a new brick building, which opened in November 1904 and remained on the same spot for many years.
"SG" from 1977 with a clear block displayed for a westbound.
I first met George DePiazzy at a Boy Scouts of America function. I was a young, volunteer Assistant Scoutmaster from Troop 80 in Holtsville, NY and George was an Assistant Scoutmaster from a Bayport, NY Troop, if I remember correctly.
We got to talking and I discovered he was a block operator for the L.I.R.R. and assigned to the 1st trick (shift) at "SG" cabin, which was located at the time on the north side of the tracks and just west of 5th Avenue in Brentwood. I also discovered that he was the father of two guys with whom I had gone to high school.
I asked if I might visit him sometime while he was on duty and take some photos. He said O.K. I visited "SG" cabin and George many times. I photographed inside the cabin (it had a table block machine: no Armstrong levers), and out, and took shots of trains getting orders, much as I did at "PD".
Other railroaders nicknamed George "Dippy", not because he was stupid or ditzy, but because of the way they would pronounce his last name: "Dippiazzy." It eventually got shortened to "Dippy."
"SG" cabin was a tiny block office made of block and faced with brick, replacing the old, wooden cabin south of the tracks and east of 5th Avenue. George used to work that old cabin in it's last days, and described in great detail how much "fun" it was having to use the old wooden outhouse, a common site all over Long Island and the rest of the United States for that matter.
George used to work "BK" block station at Stony Brook. Once, he was sitting at the block operator's desk with his headphones on, talking to the dispatcher during a thunderstorm. A lightning strike came through the phone lines and went into his ears and blew him off the chair and across the room, slamming him against the depot wall.
He had no recollection of this event, but was aware of it because he was told what happened after he had regained consciousness. The story was confirmed to me by witnesses.
George was an avid and experienced outdoorsman: hunter, boater, fisherman and camper. He made a great Boy Scout leader. He and I attended an adult training weekend together in 1972.
On Memorial Day, 1977 he was out fishing with a friend when he noticed a small boat in trouble. It was stormy weather and the boat appeared to be sinking. He and his friend put their boat in the water and went out to assist the vessel.. The people in the boat were inexperienced, and in attempting to save them, George and his friend banged their heads, lost consciousness and drowned. He was 48 years old.
When the main line was electrified through to Ronkonkoma and double tracked around 1987, "SG" cabin was no longer needed and was razed.
The first photo is of the old "SG" cabin c. 1925 looking west, photographed by block operator James V. Osborne.
The second photo is of the "newer", relocated "SG" cabin looking west in 1969, prior to my having met George. The cabin was closed at the time I photographed it (it was only open for 1 trick, Monday through Friday, I believe) and the security shutters were closed. "SG" block signals are visible in the distance.
The third photo is of operator George DePiazzy throwing the switch for the long siding at "SG". I took this photo of George in 1972.
The fourth item is a memorial article from Newsday, dated 5/30/77 about the men who died that day.
In the distance you can make out the Brentwood express house and see the track configuration matching Emery's map. The gondola car is on the team track on the west side of 2nd Street.
You can see that they moved the newer cabin quite a bit west and removed a LOT of track in the process, including the team track.
Relocated "SG" cabin on the west side of 5th Avenue and north of the tracks. This cabin is just east of MP 40, view looking west in 1969.

The 10 Biggest Travel Trends of 2016
Out with the old, in the with the new. That's what happens each year in the fashion industry, right? Well, the same holds true for the travel world. Oyster's Jordi Lippe-McGraw has the scoop on what's trending in the industry now.
By March 2, 2016
You used to consider yourself lucky if your hotel had a gym or a few healthy options on the room service menu, but now properties are launching full-scale wellness programs. IHG's EVEN Hotels offer wellness amenities like morning runs with the property's Chief Wellness Officer. Refinery Hotel announced the launch of its Wellth Series in partnership with Wellthily, Co. Westin has long led the way with its WestinWORKOUT rooms, and has since been followed by other hospitality groups such as the Trump Hotel Collection, which now offers the Trump Wellness signature program. And famed gym brand Equinox is entering the hospitality business and developing its first hotel in Manhattan.
Working Out at the Airport
How many times has your flight been delayed or you missed your layover and got stuck twiddling your thumbs in the airport? Wouldn't it be great if you could sneak a workout in? Many airports have walking paths and yoga rooms, but this year gyms will be a part of the other concessions offered while you wait. A startup company called AirFit is planning to have facilities starting in New York John F. Kennedy International Airport, followed by San Francisco International Airport and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, that will include state-of-the-art workout rooms, showers, clothing purchase/rentals, and luggage storage.
Adding Personal Time to Business Trips
Get ready for "bleisure" travel to become the next big thing. While business travel has been around for ages, many business travelers are hoping to get more out of these trips by planning leisure activities in between meetings. Nearly half (46 percent) of business travelers add personal days to all or most of their business trips. In fact, today three in five business travelers are more likely to take a bleisure trip than they were five years ago. Spots like Hotel Renew even offer "Board Meetings" that allow guests to paddle out to surf the swells and hold business meetings between sets.
Technology, Technology, Technology
This might seem like a no-brainer that hotels (and all things travel) are becoming more high-tech. But it's true, and the trend continues in 2016. This year the face of hospitality is changing with hotels offering more robots – like robot bartenders on Royal Caribbean and the robot butler at a Crowne Plaza in California – and fewer people. RFID wristbands and phones are being used as keys and for payment methods. And hotels and cruise lines are now even offering super-fast Wi-Fi speeds to accommodate streaming in rooms.
According to the 2015 Visa Global Travel Intentions Study, solo travel is up 15 percent overall since 2013 and up to 37 percent from 16 percent among first-time travelers. And travel companies are taking note, particularly in 2016. Single travel has doubled for touring companies like Country Walkers over the past year as 35 percent of travelers arrive solo and gravitate towards these tour operators due to the group dynamic and the freedom it provides to go off on your own adventure. Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Beach Resort & Spa in Puerto Rico invites singles to meet with other guests seaside at their Tiki Bar's daily happy hour. And Zemi Beach House Resort & Spa in Anguilla provides a personal guide to solo travelers to suggest fun social activities on the property, such as cocktail parties and communal dinners.
Hotels Revamping Uniforms to Cater to Millennials
Ninety-three percent of millennials say they want a job where they can be themselves at work, and that includes dressing in a way that makes them feel both comfortable and stylish. More hotels are revamping staff uniforms strictly to cater to young, millennial travelers – and employees. From fashion-forward suites to sexy beachwear, hotels are stylistically thinking outside of the norm. JW Marriott Grand Rapids debuted fashionable suits with colored pocket squares after getting feedback from millennials. The Hilton West Palm Beach valet staff will wear all black Shell Top Adidas outfits, bartenders will rock leather vests, and baristas will wear flat caps. And Hotel Indigo –Lower East Side partnered with TopHat to design trendy uniforms for every member of staff – including the engineers.
Hybrid Travel Services
Forget your typical concierge or travel agent; companies are going above and beyond to cater to their clients so that travel can be both exciting and a breeze. Madrid-based Room Mate Hotels' BeMate.com offers travelers apartments as accommodations, but with the services of a local hotel, including luggage storage, airport transfers, housekeeping, and a concierge. When it comes to flying, all-business class airline La Compagnie recently unveiled its own Chauffeur&Co service which enables travelers to book car transfers through the airline, to and from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris.
Farewell Amenities
A welcome towel and cocktail at a hotel certainly get you in the vacation mindset, but don't you want to keep it going once you leave? That's where the farewell amenity trend comes in. Places like Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris treat guests celebrating birthdays with personalized gold-dusted chocolate tablets carved in the shape of the guests' zodiac signs. Meanwhile, Dream Downtown and Dream Midtown send guests home with a little memory of NYC, such as Broadway tickets for their next stay or a favorite bottle of wine.
Spa Treatments Using Precious Gems and Stones
Spa treatments are going to get a whole lot more expensive. While the cost of services won't necessarily increase, the items used will certainly have a bigger price tag. In 2016, hotel spas will utilize more precious gems and metals than ever to provide spa-goers with the ultimate decadent relaxation. Gstaad Palace in Switzerland is offering Gemology Face and Body Care treatments that draw cosmetic properties from precious stones including jade, rubies, pearls and sapphires in order to fade wrinkles and fine lines. The Beverly Hills Hotel and Hotel Bel-Air have incorporated pure platinum into their anti-aging, head-to-toe Platinum Rare Facial treatment. And in Colorado, Madeline Hotel & Residences in Telluride offers a Gemstone Ritual to help enhance overall balance in the body using the energy of the crystals.

Полтавско-Кременчугская операция (26 августа — 30 сентября 1943 года) — фронтовая наступательная операция советских войск в Великой Отечественной войне. Составная часть Черниговско-Полтавской стратегической операции — первого этапа битвы за Днепр. Проводилась войсками Степного фронта под командованием генерала армии И.С. Конева. Итогами операции стали освобождение Полтавы, Кременчуга и захват плацдармов на правом берегу Днепра.

Предшествующие события и план операции
После поражения в Курской битве немецкие войска оставили всякую надежду перехватить инициативу.

Гитлер понимал, что его войска не смогут сдерживать советское наступление. С целью выигрыша времени он приказал построить прочную линию обороны, в которой главное внимание уделялось естественным препятствиям, из которых важнейшими были большие реки. Особое значение германское командование придавало линии защиты на Днепре, которую оно считало основой так называемого «восточного вала».

С советской стороны, Ставка Верховного Главнокомандования стремилась максимально использовать победу в Курской битве. Войскам предстояло развернуть наступление на фронте от Великих Лук до Азовского моря, в том числе войскам Центрального, Воронежского и Степного фронтов ставилась задача освободить Левобережную Украину, наступая на фронте от Черкасс до Полтавы, выйти к Днепру, форсировать его и захватить плацдармы на правом берегу реки, создав условия для освобождения Правобережной Украины.

Силы сторон

СССР
Степной фронт (командующий генерал армии И. С. Конев):
 37-я армия (6 сентября из резерва Ставки, генерал М. Н. Шарохин)
 5-я гвардейская армия (получена 6 сентября из Воронежского фронта, генерал А. С. Жадов)
 7-я гвардейская армия (генерал М. С. Шумилов)
 53-я армия (генерал И. М. Манагаров)
 69-я армия (генерал В. Д. Крючёнкин)
 5-я воздушная армия (генерал-лейтенант авиации С. К. Горюнов)
Вместе: 30 стрелковых, 2 механизированных дивизии, 2 танковых корпуса и 3 отдельные танковые бригады. Общая численность войск фронта составляла 336 200 человек.

Фронт входил в операцию с ходу, без подготовки и перегруппировки. 19 июля Степной фронт был введен в контрнаступление на Белгородском-Харьковском направлении. В ходе контрнаступления войска фронта преодолели глубоко эшелонированную оборону противника, овладели Белгородом и 23 августа взяли штурмом Харьков.

Германия
 1-я танковая армия (генерал кавалерии Эберхард фон Макензен)
 8-я полевая армия (генерал пехоты Отто Велер)
Всего: до 20 дивизий, в том числе 3 танковые.

Общее превосходство сил было на стороне Красной Армии. Советские войска превосходили противника по личному составу в 2,1 раза, в самолётах — в 1,4 раза, в орудиях и миномётах — в 4 раза, по танкам силы были примерно равны. В ходе сражения обе стороны непрерывно наращивали силы.

Наступление Степного фронта к Днепру
После освобождения Харькова перед войсками Степного фронта была поставлена задача нанести удары в направлении Полтавы, Кременчуга, Краснограда и Верхнеднепровска, выйти на среднее течение Днепра, форсировать его и обеспечить плацдармы для развертывания сил на Правобережной Украине.
Первая задача фронта состояла в овладении железнодорожным узлом Мерефа, который открывал путь для быстрого наступления 57-й и 7-й гвардейской армий к Днепру. Наступление 7-й гвардейской армии генерала Шумилова, в задачу которой входило овладеть Мерефой, развивалось медленно. Пять дней армия вела тяжелые бои за преодоление оборудованной на рубеже реки Уды обороны противника, который оказывал ожесточенное сопротивление. Только 5 сентября войскам армии удалось освободить город.
Разгром немцев под Харьковом и Мерефой открыл войскам фронта путь на Полтаву и далее к Днепру. А успешное наступление соседних фронтов вынудило врага к отступлению на всей Левобережной Украине.

В соответствием с изменениями обстановки, 6 сентября были внесены изменения в директиву Ставки ВГК: уточненное задание Степного фронта состояло в том, чтобы быстрым наступлением в общем направлении на Полтаву и Кременчуг не позволить противнику создать устойчивый фронт, разгромить его полтавскую и кременчугскую группировки.

Впереди была борьба с сильной полтавской группировкой 8-й армии немцев. В направлении Полтавы и Кременчуга под ударами Степного фронта отступала крупнейшая группировка 8-й армии, состоявшая из 3-го, 47-го танковых и 11-го армейского корпусов.

Прикрываясь арьергардами, войска Вермахта при уходе оставляли отдельные группы на высотах, в населенных пунктах и на узлах дорог, стремились помешать наступлению советских войск, вывести свои главные силы из-под удара и сохранить переправы до полного отхода войск.

Освобождение Полтавы
Полтава была обустроена как мощный узел обороны, который был связующим звеном оборонительных рубежей и опорных пунктов на Левобережной Украине с целью задержать наступление советских войск.

По мере приближения войск советского Степного фронта к городу сопротивление 8-й немецкой армии росло. На направление главного удара немецкое командование выдвинуло из резерва свежие части 106-й пехотной дивизии, 2-й танковой дивизии СС «Рейх» и другие. На полтавском направлении гитлеровцы широко применяли заграждения, создавали минные поля и другие препятствия и часто переходили в контратаки. Гарнизон Полтавы был увеличен вдвое. Вдоль правого берега Ворсклы были подготовлены стационарные позиции. Вокруг города были сооружены инженерные укрепления. В городе каменные здания были приспособлены к круговой обороне, создана система артиллерийского и минометного огня, которая прикрывала подступы к реке. Все мосты и переправы на реке были взорваны.

Правое крыло фронта — 5-я гвардейская армия и 53-я армия обходили Полтаву с севера и юга с задачей овладеть городом. В центре фронта в направлении Кобеляк наступали войска 69-й и 7-й гвардейской армий. Войска 57-й и 46-й армий — левое крыло фронта — преследовали противника в направлении Днепропетровска.

Войска 53-й армии на конец суток 21 сентября на всем своем фронте вышли на восточный берег Ворсклы. Одновременно с 53-й армией к реке вышли войска 5-й гвардейской армии. Однако с ходу овладеть Полтавой не удалось — необходимо было форсировать Ворсклу и преодолеть развитую систему обороны врага у самой реки на её правом берегу.

На рассвете 22 сентября войска 5-й гвардейской и 53-й армий начали подготовку к форсированию Ворсклы. К семи часам на правый берег переправились части 9-й гвардейской воздушно-десантной, 95-й, 97-й и 13-й гвардейских стрелковых дивизий 5-й гвардейской армии.

Одновременно через Ворсклу переправились части 214-й, 233-й и 299-й, а за ними — 84-й, 375-й и 116-й стрелковых дивизий 53-й армии. Войска 53-й армии, преодолевая сопротивление противника, несмотря на сильный артиллерийский, минометный и пулеметный огонь, атаковали вражеские позиции на правом берегу Ворсклы. К вечеру 22 сентября части 53-й армии овладели правым берегом реки на участке Черов, Климовка, Восточная Козуба и продолжали теснить противника в западном направлении. Первыми в город прорвались разведчики 95-й гвардейской и 84-й стрелковой дивизий, за ними — специально подготовленные штурмовые отряды 95-й гвардейской, 84-й стрелковой и 9-й гвардейской воздушно-десантной дивизии. В упорных уличных боях части этих дивизий к утру 23 сентября очистили Полтаву от немецко-фашистских захватчиков.

Наступление на Кременчуг
После взятия советскими войсками Полтавы полтавская группировка немцев начала отход к переправам через Днепр в районе Кременчуга. Сюда же отходили немецкие дивизии и с других направлений. Кременчуг был важным узлом коммуникаций на левом берегу Днепра, и после освобождения Харькова и Полтавы немцы всеми силами старались удержать переправы и плацдарм, которые обеспечивали отвод их войск за Днепр. Кременчугский предмостный плацдарм был оборудован по всем правилам военно-инженерной науки. На ближайших подступах к Кременчугу были отрыты противотанковые рвы, оборудованы эскарпы, установлены проволочные заграждения и минные поля. Среди сил, оборонявших плацдарм и обеспечивавших отступление войск на правый берег, следует выделить дивизию «Великая Германия» и дивизию СС «Рейх».

В это время силы Степного фронта энергично развивали преследование отступающего противника с целью 24-25 сентября завладеть переправами на Днепре и обеспечить его форсирование. Форсирование Днепра было намечено на фронте 130 км.

5-я гвардейская армия наносила удар в направлении на Решетиловку в обход Полтавы с севера. Её передовые отряды 24-29 сентября должны были выйти к Днепру в районе Кременчуга. Пятьдесят третья армия, обходя Полтаву с юга, преследовала противника в общем направлении на Кашубовку, Кобы. 24 сентября армия передовыми отрядами должна была овладеть переправами на Днепре в районе Садки и Чикаловка. 69-я армия наступала в направлении Бреусовка. 7-я гвардейская армия имела задачу выйти к Днепру в районе Переволочна, Бородаевка, Старый Орлик и захватить плацдармы на правом берегу реки. 57-я армия, развивая наступление в направлении Шульговка, 23 сентября должна была овладеть переправами в районе Пушкаревка и захватить плацдарм на правом берегу Днепра. Сорок шестая армия развивала наступление в общем направлении на Днепродзержинск, Софиевку и Чаплинку. Она должна была овладеть переправами в районе поселка Аулы, Днепродзержинска и захватить плацдарм на участке Мироновка, Благовещенка. 37-я армия, находясь во втором эшелоне фронта, была в полной готовности войти в бой. Части и соединения 37-й армии должны были форсировать Днепр в центре полосы фронта.
До 28 сентября войска 5-й гвардейской и 53-й армий, преследуя отступающие немецкие войска, уничтожая их живую силу и технику, подошли к Кременчугу. Противник оказывал ожесточенное сопротивление. Атаковав Кременчуг по всем направлениям одновременно, советские войска вклинились в оборону противника и уничтожили вражеские плацдармы по частям. В течение двух дней боев 28 и 29 сентября войска 5-й и 53-й армий полностью очистили Кременчуг от врага.

Дальнейшие события
Директивой Ставки ВГК от 29 сентября 1943 Степному фронту предназначалось нанести главный удар в общем направлении на Черкассы, Новоукраинку, Вознесенск с задачей разгрома кировоградской группировки немцев. Левым крылом фронта предписывалось наступать в направлении Пятихаток и Кривого Рога с целью выхода на тылы днепропетровской группировки противника.

Kunisada, Actor Portraits Past and Present - Onoe Eizaburo as Akoya
Utagawa Kunisada/Toyokuni III (1786-1865) Actor Portraits Past and Present: Onoe Eizaburo as Akoya, 1863. Deluxe Oban.
Click here for a detailed enlargement.
Without doubt Kunisada's finest series of prints, highly collectible and very rare (especially in such fine condition). They are remarkable things… bold, expansive and unique in their visual daring. John Fiorillo comments that:
The set was originally scheduled to include 150 works by the leading designer of actor prints, Utagawa Kunisada unfortunately, it was never completed. Only 72 published designs are known, with 12 by Yoshitora, plus two proof prints and two preparatory drawings, for a total of 76 known compositions. Yoshitora joined the project in 1862 for unconfirmed reasons (possibly to assist an overworked or ailing Kunisada). The series was intended to be the crowning achievement in Kunisada's career, with no effort or expense spared in its size or production… In terms of their quality (beautifully executed block cutting, exceptional colors, embossing, and burnishing), the prints from this series are reminiscent of the deluxe limited editions produced in the smaller chuban format in Osaka during the mid-nineteenth century.
Okubi-e (large head portrait prints) are generally credited to the artist Katskawa Shunko I (1743 - 1812); other artists excelled at them among whom Utamaro and Toyokuni I are outstanding. The format was banned by the shogunate in 1800 for around a decade but then started to creep back in popularity. This series by Kunisada and Yoshitora revives the tradition but with the cropping of the margin even closer to the subject making a greater visual impact. As mentioned above, although frequently ignored, Osaka artists were frequent visitors to Kunisada's studio and were his pupils, having a greater influence on Edo art than is widely credited these days.
This fabulous print depicts Onoe Eizaburo as Akoya. Akoya is the courtesan lover of Kagekiyo who is on the run and in hiding. She is hauled before the court and threatened with torture to reveal the whereabouts of her lover. When she refuses, three instruments of torture are brought to the stage yet she still refuses. Next three musical instruments are brought on and the official Shigetada demands that she plays them. She performs three songs about her love of Kagekiyo so beautifully that Shigetada is convinced that someone who sings so movingly could not also be a liar. The play ends with him confronting the evil torturer Munetsura.
This print is breathtaking - an early impression, there is particularly pronounced woodgrain and the block cutting and the quality and sharpness of the lines is outstanding. Colour, impression and condition are all very fine. Embossing to patterns, burnishing to hairpins and other areas, and burnished shomen-zuri to collar.

Social Media Bots Draw Public's Attention and Concern
While most Americans know about social media bots, many think they have a negative impact on how people stay informed
Since the 2016 U.S. presidential election, many Americans have expressed concern about the presence of misinformation online, particularly on social media. Recent Congressional hearings and investigations by social media sites and academic researchers have suggested that one factor in the spread of misinformation is social media bots – accounts that operate on their own, without human involvement, to post and interact with others on social media sites.
This topic has drawn the attention of much of the public: About two-thirds of Americans (66%) have heard about social media bots, though far fewer (16%) have heard a lot about these accounts. Among those aware of the phenomenon, a large majority are concerned that bot accounts are being used maliciously, according to a new Pew Research Center survey conducted July 30-Aug. 12, 2018, among 4,581 U.S. adults who are members of Pew Research Center's nationally representative American Trends Panel (the Center has previously studied bots on Twitter and the news sites to which they link). Eight-in-ten of those who have heard of bots say that these accounts are mostly used for bad purposes, while just 17% say they are mostly used for good purposes.
To further understand some of the nuances of the public's views of social media bots, the remainder of this study explores attitudes among those Americans who have heard about them (about a third – 34% – have not heard anything about them).
While many Americans are aware of the existence of social media bots, fewer are confident they can identify them. About half of those who have heard about bots (47%) are very or somewhat confident they can recognize these accounts on social media, with just 7% saying they are very confident. In contrast, 84% of Americans expressed confidence in their ability to recognize made-up news in an earlier study.
When it comes to the news environment specifically, many find social media bots' presence pervasive and concerning. About eight-in-ten of those who have heard of bots (81%) think that at least a fair amount of the news people get from social media comes from these accounts, including 17% who think a great deal comes from bots. And about two-thirds (66%) think that social media bots have a mostly negative effect on how well-informed Americans are about current events, while far fewer (11%) believe they have a mostly positive effect.
While the public's overall impression of social media bots is negative, they have more nuanced views about specific uses of these accounts – with some uses receiving overwhelming support or opposition. For example, 78% of those who have heard about bots support the government using them to post emergency updates, the most popular function of the nine asked about in the survey. In contrast, these Americans are overwhelmingly opposed to the use of bots to post made-up news or false information (92%). They are also largely opposed to bots being used for political purposes and are more split when considering how companies and news organizations often use bots.
Most Americans have heard about social media bots; many think they are malicious and hard to identify
By Galen Stocking and Nami Sumida
Amid the ongoing debate about the role of bots on social media, about two-thirds of Americans (66%) have heard at least something about social media bots – defined in this survey as accounts that operate "on their own, without human involvement, to post and do other activities on social media sites." But very few pay close attention: Just 16% have heard a lot about social media bots. And roughly a third of the public (34%) has heard nothing at all about these types of accounts.
While most Americans have heard about them, the debate about social media bots has not reached all corners of the public at the same rate.
Younger Americans are much more likely than older adults to have heard about social media bots. About three-quarters of Americans ages 18 to 29 and 30 to 49 (78% and 76%, respectively) have heard of bots, compared with 58% of those ages 50 to 64 and about half of those 65 or older (49%). The same pattern holds when comparing how much they have heard, with younger Americans more likely than their elders to have heard a lot or some about bots.
There are also differences in familiarity by education and, to a lesser extent, by party affiliation. About three-quarters of Americans with a college degree (78%) have heard of social media bots, compared with 55% of those with only a high school education. In addition, Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents are more likely than Republicans and Republican-leaning independents to have heard about social media bots (72% vs. 61%, respectively).
Many see bad intentions behind social media bots and find them difficult to identify
Amid the larger debate about misinformation and bots on social media, the public largely views bots negatively. An overwhelming majority of those who have heard of bots (80%) say that these accounts are mostly used for bad purposes, while just 17% say that bots are mostly used for good purposes.
This broad consensus is consistent across demographic groups. For instance, roughly eight-in-ten Republicans and Republican-leaning independents as well as Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents who have heard of bots suspect they are primarily used for malicious purposes (84% and 78%, respectively). Similarly, even though younger people are more likely to have heard of bots, there is broad agreement across age groups about their intended purpose: About eight-in-ten Americans in each age group who have heard about bots believe they are mostly used for malicious purposes.
Not only does the public generally have a negative view of social media bots, but few Americans have a lot of confidence in their own ability to detect them. About half of those who have heard of bots (47%) are very or somewhat confident that they can recognize them, and just 7% are very confident. About four-in-ten (38%) are not very confident, and 15% say they are not at all confident. This stands in contrast to the confidence Americans had in their ability to detect made-up news: In a December 2016 survey, 84% of Americans were very or somewhat confident in their ability to recognize made-up news.
Younger Americans are more likely than older adults to be at least somewhat confident they can recognize social media bots. Six-in-ten adults ages 18 to 29 who have heard of these accounts are at least somewhat confident they can recognize them, compared with about half or less for older age groups.
Many believe at least some of the news on social media comes from bots and that these accounts have a negative impact on how the public stays informed
While social media bots can be used for many different purposes, much of the public discussion has been about their use in the spread of news. The public seems to have taken notice, and many believe at least some of the news Americans get on social media comes from bots.
About eight-in-ten of those who have heard of bots (81%) think these accounts are responsible for at least a fair amount of the news Americans get on social media, though fewer (17%) think a great deal comes from bots. (A previous Pew Research Center study of more than 100,000 tweeted links to 50 popular news websites found that 59% of those shared links were suspected to be from bots.)
And, just as Americans are concerned about bots generally, many in the public perceive bots' involvement in the news to be negative, at least when it comes to how well-informed the public is about the news. About two-thirds of those who have heard about social media bots (66%) say that these accounts have a mostly negative effect on how well-informed Americans are about events and issues in the news. In contrast, only 11% believe bots have a mostly positive effect, and about two-in-ten (21%) say they do not have much of an effect.
What's more, those who think bots are responsible for a sizable portion of the news on social media are also more likely to think bots have a negative impact on keeping the public informed. Among those who say at least a fair amount of news on social media comes from bots, about seven-in-ten (72%) say that bots negatively impact how well-informed Americans are about the news, compared with 11% who say bots have a positive impact and 17% who say they have no impact.
Not many differences emerge across demographic groups, with broad agreement that at least a fair amount of the news Americans see on social media comes from bots and that bots have a negative effect on how well-informed Americans are.
Americans express nuanced views of many common uses of social media bots
Although social media bots largely have a negative connotation among the public, certain uses of bots seem to be more acceptable than others. Those who have heard about bots were asked about a mix of nine ways that social media bots are used. Topping the list of supported uses: government agencies using bots to post emergency updates. About eight-in-ten of those who have heard about bots (78%) find this practice to be acceptable.
On the flip side, there is solid opposition to an organization or individual using bots to share false information, with 92% of those who have heard of bots saying this is not acceptable. Strong majorities also oppose a celebrity using bots to gain more social media followers (67%) and a political party using bots to share information that favors or disfavors one candidate (75%). When it comes to an issue-based group using bots for a political purpose – to draw attention to a specific topic – opposition is not as strong as to a political party using bots, though more people still find it unacceptable (57%) than acceptable (42%).
The public is more split for the remaining uses. At least half of those who have heard about social media bots find the two business-related uses acceptable: businesses using bots to promote products (55%) and respond to customers' questions (53%). Similarly, the public is about evenly split on whether news organizations' use of bots to post headlines or news stories is acceptable or not (50% find it acceptable and 49% find it unacceptable). And when it comes to an individual using bots to share pictures or quotes, about equal shares of those who have heard of bots find it acceptable (48%) as unacceptable (50%).
The more Americans know about bots, the less likely they are to find several of their uses to be acceptable
Americans who have heard more about social media bots are less likely to be supportive of a number of their uses.
This is true for the two politics-related uses. Those who have heard a lot about bots are 10-percentage points less likely than those who have heard some or not much about bots to say an issue-based group using bots to draw attention to a specific topic is acceptable (34% and 44%, respectively). Similarly, those who have heard a lot about bots are less supportive of a political party using bots to share information that favors or disfavors one candidate, compared with those who haven't heard as much about bots (19% and 25%, respectively).
Awareness about social media bots also influences views on two uses that help people or organizations promote themselves. For instance, a business using bots to promote its products is considered acceptable by 45% of those who have heard a lot about bots, compared with 58% of those who have heard less about them – a 13-point gap. And there is a 9-point gap when it comes to a celebrity using bots to get more social media followers.

Hi my name is Emily Cannon, I've been doing crossfit since March of 2017, and have completely fell in love with it. When I was younger I always was in sports and danced and competed in gymnastics since I was little. When high school was over and those sports ended I continued to teach those things but with some surprise hip surgeries and life in the way, I quit doing them myself. I continued to work out in the gym, and take different workout classes, and try to stay in shape because I've always enjoyed being active but something was missing. I missed the competition, I missed always working to better a skill, I missed the "team" aspect. When my wonderful client, friend, and now fellow coach, Andrea Thalen first tried to talk to me into coming with her to a crossfit class, I kept putting her off, but eventually she left me no choice so I went. And I LOVED it and have done it consistently ever since. I love the community, I love working to better myself with measurable workouts,I love the friendly competition to push you through. When Stacy asked me to coach I wasn't sure at first, but I am so so glad I said yes because I truly enjoy every class I coach, I love helping people through a rough workout, and I love getting to know all the gym members and their personal struggles and accomplishments. I can't wait to continue learning both as a coach and an athlete, and hopefully get as many people as I can to see what I see in this wonderful crossfit community!

Microsoft will demonstrate on Tuesday how Lync and Skype users will be able to communicate via video conferencing, the next stage of the integration between its enterprise unified communications server and its consumer IM and IP telephony network.
The new integration will be shown at the Lync Conference, which runs through Thursday in Las Vegas and will be attended by almost 2,000 customers and partners, according to Microsoft.
The company will also announce a Lync app for Android tablets, integration between Lync and Cisco's Tandberg high-end telepresence systems and telephony capabilities for Lync Online, the product's public cloud-hosted version.
In aggregate, the announcements underscore Microsoft's vision to move "from unified to universal communications," said Giovanni Mezgec, general manager of enterprise product marketing for Skype at Microsoft.
This means that Microsoft intends to give its customers a set of interoperable IM, audio communications, video conferencing, online meetings and IP telephony tools for their personal and work lives.
With this approach, Microsoft hopes to get an edge over rivals in the UC market like Cisco, Avaya, IBM, Siemens, Google, Alcatel-Lucent, Mitel and ShoreTel.
In mid-2013, Microsoft delivered the first phase of the Lync-Skype integration, making it possible for Lync and Skype users to contact each other, engage in IM sessions and communicate via audio calls. Skype, which Microsoft bought in 2011 for $8.5 billion, is used by about 300 million people worldwide, while Lync is used by more than 90 percent of the Fortune 100, according to the company.
The video conferencing compatibility, which is now in early beta testing, "will enable new cool scenarios," he said. For example, a company whose call center and customer support staffers use Lync could communicate with customers using Skype using video.
Meanwhile, Microsoft plans to start beta testing the integration with the Cisco Tandberg telepresence systems soon after this week's conference ends, he said, adding that Microsoft is doing the work using open standards and available Cisco APIs.
The Lync app for Android tablets is due this summer. There are already Lync apps for Windows Phone, iPhone, iPad, Android smartphones, Mac OS computers and Windows 8.
Finally, it's not clear when Microsoft expects to deliver the native IP telephony capability for Lync Online, a much-requested feature that Lync Server hosted on-premises or in private clouds already has.


Discussion in 'iPad' started by SoonerChris, Nov 15, 2014.
I'm going to be buying my 7 and 11 year olds Minis for Christmas. Am I understanding correct that the only things different between the two is the 3 has Touch ID and ApplePay?
They have the same processor and retina display, correct?
Your correct on your assessment, only add the fact that it also comes in gold color option. That's it!
I myself bought a refurbished iPad mini 2 from the apple online store for a whole lot less for a 64gb model.
I would guess the best deal then is Target's $100 gift card with purchase of iPad Mini 2 for $299. Net cost of $199 + tax.
yup, mini2 is the better value. i happened to get my 8 year old the 3 because best buy was offering more cash on trade in, otherwise i would have gotten the 2.
link to this deal? i don't see it online.
Seems a total no brainer then.
Yes, and ApplePay is only in-app, not in-store at the terminal, like the iPhone 6. The Mini 2 is a great deal right now.
Mini 2 is better because your kids do not need Apple Pay anyway.
I see, a gift card. Thought you meant the whole thing would be $140.
I just faced the same decision. I was looking for an iPad Mini for my kids and I got them the iPad Mini 2.
I also bought a bunch of play money, and when they exercise (we're a family of avid runners) or do jobs around the house, my wife and I pay them with "Play Bux". They can then spend that play money on minutes of iPad time.
If I buy a Mini during the Holiday season, it will be a Mini 2 hopefully for $199.
where are you buying a mini 2 for 199?? is that just the 16g? looking for a 32 g..
Also if you are buying new, the rMini 3 is the only way to get 64 and 128GB. New rMini 2's tap out at 32GB.
As a minor and temporary footnote, some non-Apple authorized dealers still have Mini 2 64gb models in stock. Probably not for long, though.
I'm planning on getting the Mini 2 for my eight year olds. Twins so that means that I have to buy two. Plus it's time to upgrade my iPad 4 with and Air 2. The deals will be very much appreciated.


by Martin Adams, Ph.D., Article donated by the mane points horse resource center.
We don't fully understand why some horses grow virtually indestructible hooves, while others are shelly and constantly prone to cracking. We do know some things about hoof growth, though, and can use this knowledge to influence its rate and quality.
Hoof horn is a highly modified, specialized form of skin. It has two main layers, the outer epidermis and the inner dermis, called the corium. The epidermis contains no blood vessels of its own; it obtains its oxygen and nutrients from the blood supply to the corium.
that is very sturdy and resilient. Once these basal cells are infused with keratin, they become the flat, plate-like horn cells of the hoof wall. The amount of keratin in hooves can vary, one of the factors that determines how tough the hoof horn is.
Keratin-containing cells arrange themselves in long tubules which, in turn, arrange themselves in a spiral that acts like a spring. The tubules deform, then bounce back when the horse bears weight on each foot, providing a natural cushioning effect similar to a human's high-tech running shoes.
The hoof wall of a normal adult horse grows at a rate of 1/4 inch or more per month. At the toe, it will take nine to 12 months for hoof horn to grow from the coronary band to the ground surface.
Many factors can affect hoof growth, including genetics, overall health, exercise, environmental temperature, moisture and nutrition. Some breeds--Arabians and some ponies--are well-known for high-quality, hard hooves; others, especially thoroughbreds, are known for having poor-quality feet. Cold and extremely dry weather slow hoof growth. High body temperature might retard hoof growth. When a horse is in training, its metabolic rate--and hoof growth--increase.
Since many dietary needs must be met in order for the horse to grow a good-quality hoof, nutrition plays a big role.
Deprived of nutrients, the hoof grows more slowly, and the horn that is produced will not be able to do its job while maintaining its integrity.
The best approach includes using a premium feed.
Horses that are not fed adequate calories will have a reduced rate of hoof growth. Horses that are fed too little protein will have slowed hoof growth and poor-quality horn that is prone to cracking. Horses fed calcium-deficient diets have slower rates of hoof growth and poor hoof quality.
The best approach to insuring the proper nutrients for feeding the hoof includes using a premium horse feed (such as Legends or Triple Crown) that is fortified with the proper amounts of vitamins and minerals. Feed at the recommended rates.
For example, most horse feeds have a minimum feeding level of .5 percent of body weight. Feeding less may not supply enough of the horse's required nutrients.
If your horse can maintain proper body condition with less feed, consider using Triple Crown 12 percent Supplement or Triple Crown Lite. These have higher concentrations of vitamins and minerals and are designed for feeding at lower rates than you would with conventional feeds.
Martin Adams, Ph.D., is publication director of The Mane Points.
Biotin has received more attention in terms of hoof growth than any other nutrient. Biotin is a B-complex vitamin that is generally produced by bacterial growth in the horse's hindgut in sufficient amounts to meet nutritional needs. But some horses appear to benefit from supplemental biotin. Studies have shown increased hoof growth and improved hoof quality (less cracking) in horses supplemented with 15 to 60 mg of biotin per day.
Methionine is an essential amino acid (meaning it must be provided in the diet), some of which is converted into cystine in the horse's tissues. Both methionine and cystine contain sulfur, which is an essential element in the formation of keratin.
Supplementing methionine, iodine and essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acids) has improved hoof quality in horses and cattle. Organic forms of zinc (zinc molecules attached to amino acids), which are more readily absorbed than inorganic forms, have also been shown to increase the rate of hoof growth and hoof wall density when added to the horse's diet.
If you have a horse with a history of poor hoof condition, use a supplement that contains biotin (at least 20 mg per daily dose) in addition to iodine, organic zinc and methionine. Since each of these nutrients has resulted in improving hoof quality, there may be some synergies in providing them all in one supplement. There are several such hoof supplements on the market.
Still, it may take nine months or more to see a marked improvement.

Why The BBC USPGA Coverage Will Be Great
Stop moaning about the coverage before it's even began and embrace the fact that we've got four days of a golf major live on free to air TV
By Elliott Heath
The BBC kick-starts its USPGA Championship coverage from Quail Hollow today as it prepares to show all four days of a golf major live for the first time since the 2015 Open at St Andrews.
The BBC's deal came out of the blue during Open week and took many by surprise, not least Sky who had lost the season's final major just days after launching a dedicated golf channel.

However, the reception to live major golf on free-to-air TV hasn't gone down as well as I would have thought.
I was over the moon, but it seems like the whole of the UK are moaning before it's even began.
I am a Sky subscriber and yes, I think their coverage is incredible, state of the art and deserving of awards - like the BAFTA they received for last year's Open coverage at Troon.
Related: Past USPGA Champions Gallery
But I've grown up with Ken Brown, Peter Alliss and Maureen Madill on the BBC, and it's great to be able to see and hear them back broadcasting live major championship golf to the nation.
We've seen comments on our Facebook and Twitter pages like 'the BBC don't care about golf', 'they care more about athletics' etc...But if they didn't care about golf, why would they be back in the live golf game?
Everyone had begun to accept the fact that the BBC were no longer interested in our great sport, but this latest deal shows that most certainly isn't the case.

While the coverage isn't exactly how we'd like it to be – it's on BBC iPlayer, Red Button and the BBC Sport website for the most part – it's not going to be like that every year.
Remember, we live in a digital age where most people have smart TVs, laptops, ipads etc, so it's unlikely you'll not be able to tune in.
It should be noted that the iPlayer and BBC Sport website feeds will be in HD.
And if you can't be in front of a screen then you can hear it on BBC Radio 5 Live with Iain Carter, who is without doubt one of sport's best broadcasters.
After the BBC broadcasted the final two days of the Masters this year, which culminated in an epic back nine battle between Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose, they must have been reminded of just how much value golf gives to both fans and broadcasters.
With golf participation figures rising this year, the next four days can only add to that momentum and bring even more people to the game.
This is a long-term investment and that's something we should all be seriously excited about.
Next year the USPGA Championship from Bellerive CC won't be clashing with the World Athletics Championship, so the golf will be on the main channel in its entirety.
And anyway, we watch the golf for what happens on the course, and we're bound to get just as much enjoyment from the BBC's coverage as we would get from Sky's.
Plus, no adverts and surely a few Ken on the Course clips!
So stop moaning, and sit back, load up the coverage in whatever 21st century way you choose and enjoy the action.

Yesterday was a full day of rehearsals and elective classes. All of the shows are really starting to come together, and with tech week right around the corner we are all getting excited to show you guys what we've been working on.
Last night we all went out to the movies. Everyone had a fun time and really enjoyed the movies that they went to see. After the movies we all went to Giffords to get some ice cream. It was a fun night, and everyone really enjoyed getting a short break to go off campus and do something a little bit different.
Today the campers have another round of elective classes, and rehearsals in the afternoon. Our evening activity tonight is prom, which is super exciting. Everyone is ready for a fun night to dress up and dance with friends.
Tech week is almost here, and we are so excited to watch all of our shows come together.

[Case Study] A Perfect Introduction to Commercial Property Investing
Categories: Case Study, Commercial, Investments
"Its value rocketed. Its income rocketed."
Properties & Pathways began its portfolio in 2012 after being approached by a group of first-time investors. Several years on and the portfolio's first investment OzDog Properties Unit Trust is still building wealth for investors.
Alan Doggett, co-founder of Properties & Pathways, has had global success in commercial real estate. This was well known by a group of Perth investors, who approached Properties & Pathways in 2012.
"None of them had been in property before," says Alan, "but that's what we do; provide expertise in an area where they have none."
The investors wanted:
Significant capital growth
A reliable and convenient investment, with complete transparency
Regular income distributions
Their issue: no capacity to achieve this on their own.

Properties & Pathways understood the investor requirements, and found the perfect solution in a brilliant retail site on 1500 Albany Hwy, Cannington WA:
• Large 1400sqm net lettable area
• Superb location, highly visible on corner of main artery
• Three individual lettable sections
• Great tenancy (Gascoyne Furniture)
The strength of Gascoyne Furniture as a sole occupant was discovered by an interpersonal approach from Alan.
"I went and spent three hours with him. Got to know him. Saw what type of tenant he was – a successful businessman with a group of existing properties. I got to know him quite well and it gave every indication that he'd be there ongoing."
With Gascoyne Furniture on a new five-year lease, the property was purchased for $2.8 million. Properties & Pathways invested alongside its investors with a 25% share in the asset.
After its term was completed, Gascoyne was forced to depart the premises as its parent company pushed to downsize all stores to 700 sqm sites.
The departure threatened to leave Properties & Pathways with its first vacant property. This had the potential to halt the rental income, the property value and the investors' confidence.
Properties & Pathways discussed with the investors the need to find a replacement tenant. Explaining to the syndicate that a secure tenancy is integral to the performance of the property, we wanted the next occupant to be a blue-chip tenant.
One was found within a month. Negotiations were immediately underway with Suncorp Bank.
As the property was split in three sections (two in the front, facing the road; and one behind), the bank's original desire was to lease the two road-facing sections.
This would leave one-third of the building unoccupied.
"I knew our rent in the back area would drop big time, and we'd struggle to lease it… The property wouldn't be special anymore – the third section needed to be a part of the building on the road."
Properties & Pathways negotiated a deal to ensure Suncorp took the entire building. The bank's enthusiasm was obvious.
"We took them on a 10-year lease, and we went from a good tenant to a blue-chip tenant. They wanted it badly… they even put $2 million worth of fit outs in the property.
"Its value rocketed. Its income rocketed. So much so that we were able to borrow money from the bank from the increased value in the property, and put that into a new property."
1500 Albany Hwy was revalued in 2016 at $4,190,000 – a 49.64% increase in value in four years.
This means the approx. return on capital investment for our investors, with around $1 million invested, was an incredible 141%.
After losing a great tenant in Gascoyne Furniture, a much greater one was found in Suncorp Bank. The investment is still going strong.
Reliable investment
The additional finance from the success of 1500 Albany Hwy was used to purchase Tuggerah Supa Centre in 2016 (achieving 58% profit in 12 months and a 40% return in 18 months). The proceeds from this investment was then put into Pathway Nine Unit Trust – a $16.5 million investment providing 8.73% p.a. yield in year one.
"So, from the one investment, we've ended up in four properties. And that's how you make money in property… growth on growth on growth."
As for the first group of investors in Properties & Pathways…
"At least four have been in seven of our syndicates", says Alan. "You can't beat commercial real estate…
"When you're on holiday. It's growing.
When you're out at dinner. It's growing.
When you're sleeping. It's growing."
To have a robust commercial property investment working for you while you eat, sleep and enjoy life, get in touch with Properties & Pathways today.

Q: Variable javascript array chartists.js What I am trying to do with the chartist.js is allow for variable to change the values in the array which creates the chart.
So I am using the donut chart which I am using a series of 2 inside that array and 1 label.
    var x = 20,
        y = 60,

    var chart = new Chartist.Pie('.ct-chart', {
          series: [x, y],
          labels: [43]
    }, {
      donut: true,
      showLabel: true
});

I am getting an error when trying to set the x & y variables of Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token var I know this is a bit of a schoolboy error but I want to make sure I am doing this the right way but not sure - the end goal is to have two input boxes which I can submit two values which in turn change the chart values and create the donut chart.

A:             <!DOCTYPE html>

                    .....

Blind and vision-impaired advocates are calling for a nationalised penalty system for businesses that refuse entry to guide dogs and their owners.
Adelaide resident Ellen Fraser-Barbour, who is deafblind, and her friends were refused service on Sunday night at Vietnamese restaurant Little NNQ, in Adelaide's CBD, because of her guide dog.
"I said it's illegal to discriminate against a working dog and he still said no, as did another server.
"All of these people are looking at me and I didn't want to cause a scene so in the end I decided to leave."
The group's plans ended abruptly and a complaint was made to the Australia Human Rights Commission.
She said she was grateful to a family who decided to leave the restaurant in protest at what had happened.
In Australia, it is illegal to deny entry — or a service — to a guide dog and their user.
In a statement on social media, Little NNQ restaurant said it was a "mistake" and the person in charge that night was "concerned that by allowing the dog entry could compromise the food, health and safety standards".
"The decision made by our temporary manager is not one which we are proud of and is something that has caused our family much embarrassment and upset," the statement read.
"We are truly sorry for any offence we have caused and will do everything in our power to ensure that our staff does not ever make such a mistake again."
Ms Fraser-Barbour has only had her guide dog through the Royal Society of the Blind (RSB) for about six months.
However, she said she was shocked at how often she had been refused entry to restaurants, motels, taxis and Ubers — despite telling people it was illegal and showing her identification card.
"This happens all the time," she said.
"It makes me feel really upset, often when those sorts of situations happen, I often feel that it's the world against me.
"I don't like making a fuss, and I don't like getting people in trouble, but at the moment I'm at my wit's end. This has been the last straw for me.
"This is actually a dog that's given me a lot of freedom and independence and be much more freer than I used to be before."
The RSB has called for nationally-consistent rules and regulations on the treatment of guide dogs.
RSB guide dog service manager Lindy Hennekam said it received a complaint at least once a month from clients who had been refused entry, or a service, because of their guide dog.
"It doesn't seem to reduce, it's constant, so no matter how hard we try, it seems to always be there," she said.
"Most places are really good and understanding, but unfortunately, there are still those ones that don't understand the regulations.
"It is extremely hard for the clients to deal with — it's their mobility, it's the way they get out and about, they need to have it to live their life.
"A government campaign would be great to make sure people are aware of guide dogs and that they're allowed in."
Ms Fraser-Barbour said there were few repercussions for South Australian businesses who broke the law.
She said she tried to contact police on the night she was refused entry to Little NNQ but was told they did not have the power to act.
Ms Fraser-Barbour has called for SA Police to be given similar powers that are available in New South Wales to give on-the-spot fines to businesses that refuse a guide dog user.
Under South Australian legislation, local councils can issue fines of $210 to a business that refuses entry to a guide dog user.
However, Ms Hennekam said it could be hard if the incident happened after hours.
In South Australia, laws around guide dog discrimination fall under the Dog and Cat Management Act.
Dog and Cat Management Board chairwoman Felicity-Ann Lewis said a nationalised scheme was needed.
"We're very aware that in South Australia this needs a lot more than what is currently offered," Dr Lewis said.
"We've sent many letters about what we call harmonising this legislation around the country to provide a national card and a national scheme.
"That allows a person with a disability to get the accreditation that they can take from one state to the next which currently doesn't exist."
She said the board was small and worked with local government money collected from dog registrations, which meant it had limited resources.
"It's certainly something that has been on our radar but we haven't been able to get a real sense of engagement yet nationally."
She said police were often busy with other matters but authorised council officers did have the power to issue notices to businesses.
But she said there was no data collated on how many on-the-spot fines had been issued in South Australia.

Does anyone have a mod that replaces the 2007 WC with the 2011 one? I'd be really grateful if anyone could help, or even just tell me how to edit tournament pools.
To edit the actual teams in a tournament is easy, but you have to know the team ID. You use a file called xml. It's sort of like html i suppose. You just change the data value as you require, so if team ID '1' was Uruguay and you wanted to use team ID '2' which could be Tunisia then you just replace the data value at any point where you see that value. If you look, it's quite simple to figure out, it's just hard to look at a lot of binary kinda looking data.
Thank You, but where can I access this information so I can attempt to edit it?
You go into the gamefiles saved in the harddrive, and you'll see a file called data.gob. To open this you need a program called bigGUI to extract and import the files in and out. Also, you'll need a copy of the 08 modder's bible, 'rugbygob' which lists, by description.. all the files in the data.gob. Once you've got those, you can open up one of the extracted xml files for the tournament you need and change the team ID's.
Hi Uli85, I saw really interesting faces made by you and I'm trying to make faces since three days. I've downloaded BigGui, FshEd005, RugbyGob and Oedit. I've opened Oedit but when I try to open a file but it let me open just .o files or ORD.files. What are them? I'd like to use some photos to make faces and they are in jpg or bmp format. Why doesn't it work? I downloded many converter but I didn't manage to obtain a .o files.
why does no one finish their mods?

KuCoin's Hot Wallet Private Keys Stolen, Estimated $150 Million in Damages
The Singapore-based crypto exchange has briefly shuttered operations, disabling withdrawals for users.
Shutterstock cover by wk1003mike
Private user data is unaffected, according to KuCoin CEO, Johhny Lyu.
The KuCoin team is working with other top exchanges to blacklist the hackers' funds.
KuCoin exchange reported a security breach at 04:50 AM (UTC+8) this Saturday. The time of the announcement coincided with the completion of the security operations necessary to limit the damages.
By this time, however, it was too late as the exchange had already lost a confirmed $150 million in assets.
The KuCoin security team noticed the breach and abnormal transactions two hours prior, at 02:51 AM, thinking it would be easy to solve. However, after shutting down the servers, they noticed that assets kept flowing outward, indicating that their hot wallet's private key had been compromised.
The attacker's wallet transaction history shows that they successfully executed more than 500 ETH and ERC-20 transactions before KuCoin's security drained the remaining assets. The attackers had approximately seven hours before the security team reacted.
The attackers are still trying to execute transactions at the time of press, but the USDT smart contract blacklisted the associated wallet. The KuCoin CEO added that:
"We are in contact with many major crypto exchanges such as Huobi, Binance, OKEx, BitMax and Bybit, as well as blockchain projects, security agencies, and law enforcement to work on this. Some effective measures have been taken, and we will update with more details soon."
The latest KuCoin security update contains detailed information regarding the events' timeline, affected assets, and answers to community questions. This is the first time KuCoin has been hacked, and they have said that they will return all assets to the users through their insurance fund.
It is unclear whether the funds were insured by a third-party or if this is an internal fund developed for these types of events.
