We do mostly sea lions and elephant seal pups, with the occasional baby harbor seal (as seen in this picture). Oh, and birds too -- pelicans, cormorants and grebes mostly. This is one of my greatest pleasures in life, on so many levels."

LONDON — JPMorgan Chase was fined a record £33.32 million ($48.6 million) on Thursday by the financial regulator in Britain for failing to keep client funds separate from the firm's money.
The Financial Services Authority said that the bank's J.P. Morgan Securities unit had not adequately protected billions of dollars in client money held by its futures and options business.
The error, which occurred after the merger of JPMorgan and Chase forming JPMorgan Chase and remained undetected for nearly seven years, put the client funds at risk had the firm become insolvent, the regulator said.
JPMorgan Chase reported the issue to the regulator once it discovered the error last July but some analysts said the episode left both the regulator and JPMorgan in a bad light because the error went undetected for so long.
"Even if it's an oversight, the fact that it's such a large amount and it went on for seven years makes me scared stiff," said Tamar Frankel, a professor at Boston University's School of Law.Continue reading the main story
J.P. Morgan failed to separate client funds worth $1.9 billion to $23 billion from 2002 until July 2009, according to the regulator. The regulator said the fine is meant to "send out a strong message to firms of all sizes that they must ensure client money is segregated" and added that it had "several more cases in the pipeline."
The bank qualified for a 30 percent discount on the fine because it had "worked constructively" with the agency during the investigation and had agreed to settle at an early stage, the regulator said. No clients suffered any losses, the regulatory agency said.
"J.P. Morgan Securities committed a serious breach of our client rules by failing to segregate billions of dollars of its clients' money for nearly seven years," the agency's director of enforcement and financial crime, Margaret Cole, said in a statement. "The penalty reflects the amount of client money involved in this breach."
In an internal memorandum sent to employees Thursday and obtained by The New York Times, Daniel Pinto, chief executive of JPMorgan Securities, wrote that the error "was not deliberate" but it "did breach the F.S.A.'s client money rules, which we regret."
He added that he was "proud of the manner in which the firm has conducted itself since discovering it;" a fact also acknowledged by the regulatory agency. "We realize that many of your clients will likely have questions related to this settlement," the memo said. A JPMorgan spokesman, David Wells, declined to comment.
The regulatory agency has stepped up its enforcement activities over the last year, handing out more and bigger fines to financial institutions and individuals. After being criticized for missing early warning signs that British lenders were taking too much risk ahead of the subprime crisis, the agency is now looking to improve its track record in protecting clients of financial services firms and the stability of the banking system.
The new coalition government in Britain plans to move some of the regulator's enforcement powers to a newly created agency that would focus on white-collar crime. The step would not abolish the regulatory agency, which the Conservative party had previously pledged to do, but it splits an increasingly important part of the regulator into a separate organization.
The error came to light on July 8 during conversations among senior staff about contributions to Treasury financing by the futures and options business, the regulatory agency wrote in a summary of its findings dated May 25.
"F.& O.'s view was that most of F.& O. money would be client money, whereas Treasury explained that it did not know that F.& O. money was client money," according to the report, which referred to the futures and options business. "The error remained undetected because F.& O. operations had not implemented any overarching control processes to confirm that all client money was held in a properly segregated bank account with trust status," it said.Continue reading the main story

Israeli And Palestinian Leaders Don't Seem To Want A War Over The Kidnapped Teens - For Now
Israeli security forces have limited their operations to targeting West Bank-based members of the Islamist group Hamas, a U.S. and EU-listed terror organization, and have re-arrested Hamas figures freed as part of the deal that secured the release of captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in 2011. But there hasn't been an escalation nearly on par with Israel's air strikes and ground operations in Gaza in the immediate aftermath of Shalit's capture in 2006 - nor when the abduction of two soldiers along the Israeli-Lebanese border triggered an invasion of the country's south that same summer.
This time around, Israeli operations are focused around a single part of the West Bank city of Hebron where the teenagers might be held and on individuals already on the security services' radar. Israel has targeted the entirety of Hamas's West Bank leadership, but this doesn't look anything like the wide-scale Israel-Hamas confrontations of 2006, 2009 or 2012.Although Hamas, the likely perpetrators of the kidnapping, hasn't condemned the kidnappings - which was unlikely in any event for a group that's responsible for tens of thousands of attacks on civilians over the past decade - its leadership seems mindful of the consequences of fully embracing or leveraging the kidnapping situation. Official Hamas outlets are denying the group's responsibility for the West Bank kidnappings, a far cry from when Hamas's Gaza-based leadership flaunted its responsibility for Shalit's captivity, plastering his face on billboards throughout the Strip. And there's been no barrage of rocket attacks from Gaza on Israeli targets.
As Jonathan Schanzer of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies noted in an interview with Business Insider, Hamas is a dispersed and largely underground organization in the West Bank. It's possible that one small section of the group undertook this kidnapping on its own initiative and that the rest of the leadership doesn't want to get dragged into a shooting war.
Neri Zilber, a research fellow with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy currently in Tel Aviv, told Business Insider that Hamas can't be said to have acted with restraint thus far because of the group's likely involvement in the kidnappings. Still, they're showing a certain pragmatism. "The fact that they're acting coy now, not taking responsibility, is purely instrumental," said Zilber. "They don't want to hand Israel a reason to escalate further, especially in Gaza."
The nationalist Fatah faction and the Palestinian Authority has condemned the kidnappings, and PA officials have said anonymously that if Hamas is responsible, the kidnappings could actually bring down the new unity government formed last month. But any intra-Palestinian crisis is beneath the surface at the moment. And the kidnappings might actually smooth over differences between Israel and the PA: Today, the head of Israel's Labor Party spoke with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas's chief of staff about the possibility of restarting peace negotiations after the teens are found.
Fatah is biding its time here, according to Grant Rumley, a Jerusalem-based visiting fellow for the Mitvim Institute. "Abbas/Fatah is using this Israeli crackdown to try to do as much damage as possible to Hamas while the search is ongoing," he told Business Insider by email. "Obviously this feeds into the theory that once this search is over, reconciliation is going to fall apart and Fatah is going to go back to trying to crush Hamas."
Hamas doesn't want to jeopardize the unity government or its hold over Gaza by taking credit for the kidnappings and escalating its stance with Israel - the ceasefire signed after a 2012 Gaza flare-up has proven remarkably durable.The Israelis have zeroed in on a specific part of Hebron where they believe the teens are being held and don't seem eager to expand their operations beyond arresting known Hamas leaders.
The logic of caution is holding out for now. But with Hamas's apparent responsibility for the abductions, Fatah working against Hamas behind the scenes, and the Israeli public increasingly anxious over the fate of its captured citizens, it might not hold out for long.

Buying a drug test kit
Buying a drug test kit to detect drug abuse.
Buying a drug test kit for detecting drug abuse in the family is not difficult. Do some research and decide what drugs you need to test for. Make sure the test you buy detects the drugs you need and include some you don't because often abusers take more than one drug or may even switch to another if they think you are on to them. Finally, before you perform the test, read the product instructions thoroughly to make sure you understand the process and how to use it properly.
Process for testing.
- Remove the device from the sealed wrapper, and place on a flat surface.
- Ask the person you are testing (donor) to provide 30 to 100 ml of urine in a cup.
- It is a good idea to check the temperature as donors have been known to provide fake samples.
- Check that the sample temperature is within 93 to 98°F.
- If it's not don't accept the sample. Ask the donor to provide a new sample. Remember to check the temperature again.
- Check that the sample has an odor, also observe the color of the sample.
- If you are satisfied that the sample is satisfactory, then proceed with the testing.
- Remove the cap from the device and immerse the tips of the device into the urine for 20 seconds.
- Remove from the urine and replace the cap.
- NOTE. Only immerse the tips, not the whole device into the urine.
- Place on a flat surface and wait for the results to appear.
Procedure for using the cup test.
- For cups the process is slightly different. This depends to some extent on the brand. In this example we will use the EliteScreen Eco cup.
- Unscrew the cup lid and place on one side.
- Ask the donor to provide a sample of urine to the level marked on the cup.
- Check the temperature is in range; 93 to 98°F.
- Once confirmed, reattach the lid and wait for 3 minutes then remove the label from the face of the cup.
- Within a few minutes the results will appear. You will start to see a colored lines appear in the window.
- Within five minutes the results will have fully developed.
- Negative: two lines appear. (C) and (T) lines.
- Invalid: no lines appear or the (C) control line is not present.
- Presumed positive: control line (c) is visible but the test line (T) is not apparent.
In the case of a presumed positive the urine sample should be packaged and sent to a SAMSHA approved laboratory. This is important as the result needs to be confirmed. The confirmation will quantify the amount of drug(s) found.
The amount found can be used as a reference to compare against future test results.
Buying a drug test kit for marijuana, opiates, amphetamines, cocaine, and methamphetamine.
First of all visit sites like https://www.drugabuse.gov. For more information, visit NIDA
Buy a drug test kit need not be a worry, there is plenty of help all over the web.
Especially relevant is how many panels the drug test has. Having 5 panels for instance can test for five drugs simultaneously each panel will display the result for that specific drug. Using this kind of test is a sure way to detect the most commonly abused drugs by using urine.
There are other drugs that can be screened too, these include, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, methadone and oxycodone.
There are over twenty different drugs that can be tested in this way when you buy a test kit.
Remember when buying a drug test kit that tests for the drugs you wish to test for. Keep them handy for when you might need to use them again. Reasons for testing may include: reasonable suspicion, which includes unusual behavior, paraphernalia found, monitoring rehabilitation, post accident, return back to work and pre-employment.

Earl Sweatshirt Posts Two New Songs, Including One With Mac Miller
Earl Sweatshirt: "*NEBRASKA MM VS ES* 9/6/12" [ft. Mac Miller and Vince Staples] (via SoundCloud)
Earl Sweatshirt: "*SONG FROM 2012 HIGH 6AM RAMBLING AT THE 5TH*" (via SoundCloud)
This morning, Earl Sweatshirt tweeted "search important_man464 on soundcloud if you love christ". That turned up a Soundcloud account with two new songs. The first is listed as "NEBRASKA MM VS ES 9/6/12", and features Mac Miller and Vince Staples.
The second is listed as "SONG FROM 2012 HIGH 6AM RAMBLING AT THE 5TH", which sounds—and maybe I'm going out on a limb—like it was recorded in 2012 at 6 a.m. while high. On Soundcloud, Earl called it a "SONG FROM 2012 THAT I HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE FOR IN MY HEART SO HERE." Listen to them above.

Long-stemmed red roses are practically synonymous with Valentine's Day. How did this association come to be?
The tradition of giving Valentine's Day flowers dates back to the late 17th century, during the reign of King Charles II of Sweden. During a trip to Persia, King Charles II was exposed to a new art—the language of flowers. This expressionist art focused on one's ability to communicate using flowers without uttering any words at all. (Can you guess what different flowers mean?) The fad boomed throughout Europe, with lists of flowers and their meanings widely distributed.
In the language of flowers, giving someone a yellow carnation meant they'd disappointed you, and giving someone a purple hyacinth meant you were sorry and begging to be forgiven. The red rose, as you may have guessed, translated to deep love.
The rose took on this meaning because of its affiliation with Aphrodite, the goddess of love. In Greek mythology, it is said that rose bushes grew from the ground through Aphrodite's tears and the blood of her lover, Adonis. The Romans, who turned Aphrodite into their goddess Venus, kept the rose as her symbol of love and beauty. So when Valentine's Day became the mainstream holiday we know today, the rose was an obvious choice for the most fitting gift.
In 2016 alone, Americans spent $1.9 billion dollars on flowers, according to the National Retail Federation (NRF)! It may sound astonishing, but an estimated 198 million roses were produced last year just for the purposes of gifting on Valentine's Day.
In the NRF's 2016 Valentine's Day spending survey, consumers spend a whopping $146.84 on roses, candy, and other gifts on average—and this number increases each year. The cost of roses makes up a large part of that total, as the average bouquet of a dozen red roses will run you about $42.
Red roses are in such high demand on February 14th that it could be tough to get your hands on them. So you could start planning ahead, or you could buck tradition this Valentine's Day, and go with one of these other rose color meanings or one of these equally romantic floral alternatives.

My best friend and critique partner crocheted me a scarf for Christmas. It's a beautiful red yarn with tiny gold thread running through it and I absolutely love it. She used a loom and after I saw the others she'd done decided I wanted to do some myself.
With coupons in hand, I went to Michaels, found the loom (and a couple of others in different sizes), picked out the yarn, and the crochet hook I'd need to finish the ends when I was done.
I may have forgotten to mention that I did not know how to crochet, which was why the loom sounded like a perfect solution for me. I mean really, how hard could it be to just finish the thing with some single stitches at the end.
I'd completed about 10 rows when I realized I wasn't putting the yarn on the loom correctly and had to pull it off and start over.
Maybe reading the directions a little better would have been a good idea, but I wanted to start making the scarf, not spend time making sure I knew what I was doing. Hmmm…I think I've been down this road before.
It took about a week of working on it in the evenings to finish it. Uh yes, I should have been writing, but right now, I have this story idea germinating. And I did have a pad and pen with me while I was working on this project. Sometimes doing something else my ideas and plotting really start to flow.
Here's a picture of that one. The ends are…okay, not so much matching a hundred percent, but unless you look hard, you wouldn't really notice.
What's a girl to do? Yep, go to Michaels and buy some more yarn. Only this time I decided I wanted to truly crochet a scarf. No loom, just the hook and me. With several hooks in different sizes and several different skeins of yarn in different colors and sizes I was went home ready to begin.
The problem? I have (or had), no idea how to do that. So I did what anyone who needs to do some research does. I went to the internet. YouTube to be exact. There I found many videos on crocheting. Learned how to do the single crochet stitch and then…stop! These women's fingers flew across the screen and they used language that I did not understand. Chain three, single, skip two, chain 5 and so on. I soon realized I was way over my head and needed to start at the beginning with something much simpler than a shell stitch.
The girl who works across from me in my day job crochets and knits (with 4 needles, dear Lord), she's made several baby hats with the most adorable flowers on the sides. I told her my plan, err plight, and she said bring the yarn, bring the hooks (all of them) and she'd show me what to do.
You'd think I would have learned from the above-mentioned taking the yarn off the loom and starting over several times before I had that down. But nope, not me. I brought in this beautiful gunmetal gray yarn that all soft and furry and going to be the most beautiful scarf in the world yarn. Yeah, the girl looked at me with you've-got-to-be-kidding-me eyes. She took the time to show me what to do, but strongly suggested I used a 'normal' yarn for my first time.
I was determined to do this. I worked at it for several nights and realized that I had no idea what she'd really taught me and my very pretty yarn was knotting up something horrible.
Back to the proverbial drawing board. New yarn, the 'normal' kind and this time I told her to tell me what to do and let me do it instead of watching her. She gave me the directions, which sounded like this:
So, if you went to the over blog, what did you think about the scarfs? Do you jump in with both feet and to wade back to the beginning of the pool and start over again, or do make sure you've got it down before starting a new project?

Today we saw some new things around the area. A fleet of skimmer ships was doing a surface burn to reduce the size of an oil slick. We were a couple of miles away from the burn but the large cloud of black smoke caught everyone's eye. I'm still amazed by the 'city of ships' around the spill site. The rigs drilling the relief wells and the 'siphon' ship (large ship to the left in photo), as well as many support vessels are visible in this shot.
Our sampling and general operations are going very smoothly. We ran CTD profiles all through Wednesday night and Thursday morning, thanks to the efforts of Vernon Asper from the University of Southern Mississippi. We tracked the 'new' plume along a S/SW line by doing CTD casts about every half mile. The main plume features were fairly consistent along the line can concentrations of CDOM decreased with distance from the spill site. Around 10AM Thursday morning, we moved slightly to the North and found another very interesting plume that was different from the previous one. The second plume contained less CDOM but exhibited more oxygen depletion. Perhaps this plume is older than the other one? The oxygen concentrations are not low enough to harm animal life but they are substantially lower (by ~25%) than the waters outside the plume at similar depths. Methane concentrations in this feature are the highest we've measured anywhere so far during this cruise.
This is an extensive plume. We've been tracking it now for approximately 7 miles and both the CDOM signal as well as oxygen depletion are strong and they co-vary. The samples with oxygen depletion also contain high concentrations of methane. Our hypothesis is that methane oxidation and CDOM degradation are driving oxygen consumption. We will be testing this hypothesis directly by measuring methane oxidation rates and oxygen consumption rates. Back at the UGA lab, we'll be doing experiments to determine what factors regulate methane oxidation rates in these samples. To accomplish as much as we can during this 2-week cruise, we're doing around-the-clock operations on the ship. We do mapping CTD casts at night to characterize the plume's distribution and variability. During the day, we collect water samples for various analyses. On Saturday, we're picking up a sediment sampling instrument called a "grab sampler" and will then add sediment sampling to our list of operations. Never a dull moment out here!

How To Find Broken Links Using The SEO Spider
Posted 22 July, 2018 by screamingfrog in Screaming Frog SEO Spider
How To Find Broken Links Using The SEO Spider
You can use the Screaming Frog SEO Spider for free (and paid) to check for broken links (the http response '404 not found error') on your website.
Below is a very quick and easy tutorial on how to use the tool as a broken link checker. First of all, you'll need to download the SEO Spider which is free in lite form, for crawling up to 500 URLs. You can download via the green button in the right hand side bar.
You can crawl more than 500 URLs with the paid version. The next steps to find broken links are –
1) Crawl The Website
Open up the SEO Spider, type or copy in the website you wish to crawl in the 'enter url to spider' box and hit 'Start'.
2) Click The 'Response Codes' tab & 'Client Error (4XX)' Filter To View Broken Links
You can wait until the crawl finishes and reaches 100%, or you can just view 404 broken links while crawling by navigating to the 'Response Codes' tab and using the filter for 'Client Error 4XX'.
There are two ways to do this, you can simply click on the 'tab' at the top and use the drop down filter –
Alternatively you can use the right-hand window crawl overview pane and just click directly on 'Client Error (4xx)' tree view under the 'Response Codes' folder. They both show the same results, regardless of which way you navigate.
This crawl overview pane updates while crawling, so you can see there number of client error 4XX links you have at a glance. In the instance above, there are 4 client errors which is 0.58% of the links discovered in the crawl.
3) View The Source Of The Broken Links By Clicking The 'Inlinks' Tab
Obviously you'll want to know the source of the broken links discovered (which URLs on the website link to these broken links), so they can be fixed. To do this, simply click on a URL in the top window pane and then click on the 'Inlinks' tab at the bottom to populate the lower window pane.
You can click on the above to view a larger image. As you can see in this example, there is a broken link to the BrightonSEO website (http://www.brightonseo.com/category/videos/), which is linked to from this page – https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/15-top-quotes-and-takeaways-from-brighton-seo/.
Here's a closer view of the lower window pane which details the 'inlinks' data –
'From' is the source where the 404 broken link can be found, while 'To' is the broken link. You can also see the anchor text, alt text (if it's an image which is hyperlinked) and whether the link is followed (true) or nofollow (false).
It looks like the only broken links on our website are external links (sites we link out to), but obviously the SEO Spider will discover any internal broken links if you have any.
4) Use The 'Bulk Export > Response Codes > Client Error (4XX) Inlinks' Export
If you'd rather view the data in a spreadsheet you can export both the 'source' URLs and 'broken links' by using the 'Bulk Export', 'Response Codes' and 'Client Error (4XX) Inlinks' option in the top level menu.
There's a number of ways you can export data from the Screaming Frog SEO spider, so I recommend reading our user guide on exporting.
Crawling A List Of URLs For Broken Links
Finally, if you have a list of URLs you'd like to check for broken links instead of crawling a website, then you can simply upload them in list mode.
To switch to 'list' mode, simply click on 'mode > list' in the top level navigation and you'll then be able to choose to paste in the URLs or upload via a file.
Hopefully the above guide helps illustrate how to use the SEO Spider tool to check for broken links efficiently.
Please also read our Screaming Frog SEO spider FAQs and full user guide for more information.

"Happy Fridays" is a new weekly column in which I share my latest news, favorite recipes, as well as anything and everything exciting.
What's New
- I had a delicious time in Sicily: My trip to Catania has come and gone in the blink of an eye. The six very busy days I spent in Sicily fulfilled all my expectations and then some. I have already posted about a delicious five-course meal we had at a culinary and hospitality school and the recipe to make Sicilian Caponata at home. More to come next week: Antipasti, pasta, sweets, markets… oh my! Stay tuned for more Italian deliciousness.
- …But the trip didn't start so well: I will forever remember the day I left for Sicily as my worst travel day ever. Everything went wrong. Flights were delayed. I had to frantically run through airports to make my connections. I lost my iPhone at a security checkpoint in Paris and almost had a fight with a flight attendant who refused to let me off the plane to go get my phone (admittedly I went a little crazy there, which clearly showed my smartphone addiction!). I was taken off the last flight to Catania, my passport was confiscated and I was "detained" for 15 minutes in a small office at the back of an airport terminal in Rome – all because of an Alitalia system error. I arrived at my final destination over five hours later than planned. Oh, and of course, my baggage was lost. All of this reduced me to tears and almost made me regret going to Italy, but as I said above, the trip was so fantastic that it quickly made me forget those awful misadventures (oh, the power a cannolo can have!). And (lucky me!) the kind people at Aéroports de Paris (that's Paris Airports to you and me) found my phone and I'll get it back next week. I think that day happened to make me appreciate the luck I've had so far in my travels. You don't always realize the fortune you have when everything's too easy!
- Edible Cities: My Edible Cities project is going amazingly well and 12 fantastic bloggers and authors are already lined up for the new column. Starting March 18th, some of my favorite bloggers, authors and chefs will tell us about their favorite city and share a dish that left an everlasting memory. My goal is to allow everyone to discover new places and new dishes through the eyes of people they love. Know a blogger, an author or a chef that could be interested too? Send me a line and I'll give you all the details!
Over on Just Recipes
Did you ever visit Food Nouveau's sister site, Just Recipes? It's a no-frills recipe blog on which I share the food I make at home. All recipes are delicious and easy (I won't make you spend hours in the kitchen, I swear!) This week was all about fragrant Asian flavors:
- Cauliflower and Cashew Curry: The perfect quick, spicy and satisfying weeknight meal.
- Vegetarian Vietnamese Pancakes: A fresh and bright vegetarian meal that will make you want to board the next flight to Viet-Nam.
- Thai Soba Noodle Bowl: A spicy soup with deep, transporting aromas.
Just Added to My "To-Make" List
- Dal for brunch? I'm in. Dal with Eggs and Yogurt.
- I love brownies, in fact, it may very well be my favorite dessert. I love trying new recipes and these Marzipan Brownies sound especially great.
- Kale is such a versatile green, I love experimenting with it. I plan on making this hearty White Bean Barley and Kale Stew (with added sausage) next week.
- I fell in love with artichokes in Sicily and I want to have them more often at home. This recipe, Pearl Barley with Artichokes, Pecorino and Nettle Butter, sounds like it would hit the spot. I only wonder if I'll be able to find nettles or if I can substitute it with something else?
Worth Talking About
- I like hunting for printables online. So many talented people are offering {free!} creative ways to wrap gifts or decorate a table. These Ticket Folded Place Cards and Cupcake Flags are recent favorites, and this Cork Flower DIY makes a simple, inexpensive and elegant gift.
- I've had yuzu on my mind ever since I came back from Japan last fall. This citrus, which tastes like a cross between a lemon, a mandarin and a grapefruit, is simply unique and has climbed to the top of my favorites list. Unfortunately, I can't find them fresh at home, but I hear it's being harvested more and more on the US West Coast. If you don't know yuzu and wonder if it is worth hunting for it, this gorgeous post should instantly convince you.
- Noma is one the few super-hyped restaurants I actually wish I'd have the chance to eat at. The chef seems very down to earth, the food is intriguing and the restaurant is gorgeous. So is Noma's new FoodLab, where the team conducts culinary experiments and tests new recipes. The space is so breathtakingly beautiful, I can easily imagine how creatively stimulating it is for the chefs who work there.
- Adam (of Paris Pâtisseries) is obsessed with the art of pastry-making in the City of Lights. His latest fixation? Jacques Genin's éclair au chocolat. I haven't tasted it yet, but he makes it sound so divine that I think it may be worth planning a trip to Paris for.
Have a great and delicious weekend!

DStv Now is a great app to watch your favorite channels live on your smart device. It's been a fantastic app to use on mobile devices, but unless you owned a Smart TV it wasn't the easiest of ways to get the service to run on your television. Should you be an Xbox One owner that is about to change.
DStv Now has officially launched on the Xbox One, which means you might now finally have a device that's connected to your television set. As long as you're an account holder of the premium DStv service with a PVR decoder, DStv Compact Plus and Compact customers with an Explora you'll gain access to it. The app has also been added to Hisense TVs.
Usage of DStv Now is increasing rapidly with more than two million plays of live and Catch Up content per week," MultiChoice said in a statement.
Below are all the devices that are now supported:
- Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X
- Hisense smart TVs (selected models from 2018)
- Samsung smart TVs (selected models from 2015 onwards)
- LG smart TVs (models running webOS 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0)
- Apple TV (4th gen and up)
- Media players running Android TV (Google-certified devices only)
Unfortunately, we doubt that Xbox One X owners will receive 4K support, as Multichoice is yet to breach HD to UHD mark. Accessing the DStv Now service requires an active Internet connection in addition to the account details for your existing DStv subscription
Up to four devices can sign into the same account and two devices can stream content at the same time.

How did you get started making children's clothes?
I have two daughters, Charlotte (3) and Grace (1.5). I stay home full-time with them, which is awesomely fun but incredibly hard at the same time. After Grace was born I felt an incredible need to be productive in a non-child rearing way. Sewing is something I've always been comfortable dabbling in, so I started playing around with some small projects, mainly appliques. I made Charlotte a shirt with a grid of hearts on it and her initial, and the first time she wore it I had people asking me where I got it. I started making shirts as birthday gifts and word spread quickly among friends and family. It sort of snow balled from there. I always knew I'd love to have a small business, and when this opportunity presented itself I just decided to run with it. So far so good!
What inspires you to make these adorable shirts?
My oldest, Charlotte, is a spunky kid. She likes a lot of traditionally "boy" things like trains, cars and dinosaurs. Her style often drives me to mix and match fabrics in more playful ways. The frayed edges of my appliques were a result of wanting to create something that fit with my kids personalities, which are far from "perfect". I also have a lot of parents tell me that the shirts I made for their kids are what their kids always want to wear. They feel special in them, which means the world to me! That definitely keeps me inspired to keep creating.
Where do you find your awesome fabrics?
Sewn Studio, an awesome fabric store here in Cincinnati, just being there makes you want to run home and make something. And when I feel up to the drive, I head to Fabric Shack in Waynesville, OH. It's got everything!
Who taught you to sew?
My mother :) Her main craft has always been quilting, but she's got a million skills when it comes to sewing. I've been around sewing my entire life, so it's something I've always been comfortable playing around with. For me, there's nothing quite like finishing a project and knowing you made it from scratch. It's addicting!
Do you have friends/family that you are crafty with?
My mom and my sister-in-law are both into sewing, but they don't live locally, so we don't share many projects together. I'm a sucker for a good DIY house project, and my local friends are more in to those than actually crafting. I'm happy doing anything hands on and creative.
How do you manage your time with two little girls running around?
It's tricky. Depending on the workload, I try to sew during nap time and then after bedtime. My older daughter doesn't nap, though, so she'll often sit at my sewing table and "organize" my fabrics for me while I sew. Remember, she's 3, so there's not a whole lot of organizing that happens...but it makes her feel a part of things, which I like.
I love house renovation projects too! What are you working on now?
I love a good house renovation project...particularly finding new uses for old things. We're refinishing our sun room now and I'm planning to make a wall mounted book rack for the girls books out of scrap wood that we previously took out of the room. And I've got my hopes set on making a new quilt for my bed. That's such a big project, though, that I find myself crippled with indecision when it comes down to picking a quilt pattern!
Your branding and tags are really nicely designed. Did you do that yourself?
Well, thanks! My husband actually hired a graphic designer friend of mine to design the logo as a birthday gift for me last year. I love how they turned out! I order the hang tags from Moo.com. Their cards are such a nice weight, and the mini cards are a perfect size to use as shopping tags. The fabric tags are from a shop I found on Etsy (Miss Label).
How do you like using Etsy? Do you sell anywhere else?
So far, Etsy has been good. It is flooded with products, but they have advertising options which have been nice and increase visibility for my shop. I don't currently sell in any brick and mortar retail shops, though I would like to explore that option.
Any advice for someone thinking of starting a creative business?
Branding has proven very valuable for me. People are always excited to get their order and see how it's presented. And with so many handmade goods out in the marketplace, branding your products is incredibly important if you want people to remember where they got your item...and how to reach you to order more ;) Also, make sure you stay true to the vision you have for your products. I polled a lot of friends for input early on, and I definitely put their feedback to use, but had to balance it with staying true to what I knew I wanted for my business.
I really want to thank Eileen for taking the time for this interview! I really hope all of you check out her Etsy shop EA Appliqué for gifts for your little one or someone else special!

The Castrol POWER-1 is touted as being one of the best and latest formulations by the company. It is the newest addition to the company's line of high-quality motorcycle motor oil. Castrol is one of the leading manufacturers of engine lubricants, and their latest Power-1 for motorcycles and scooters just goes to show how good their oils have become. The new product promises to trill motorcycle owners with better engine performance. Tested across dozens of motorcycles and scooters it has shown to increase acceleration from a stand still and from slow to fast moving traffic. The oil has also been shown to protect the life of the engine hence extending its life considerably. It is also the perfect engine oil for brand new motorcycles as it helps to preserve the engine condition. All of this makes the new POWER-1 worth considering.
The Castrol POWER-1 is branded as high-performance motor oil for motorcycles, but it can be used in any motorcycle. You don't have to own a superbike to take advantage of this engine oil. What's more, if you own an old motorcycle which often suffers from stuttering or slow acceleration the Power-1 will help to improve that considerably. Though the best way to take advantage of Power-1's true strength is to make sure that all of the oil motor oil is drained before the new one is put. You'll also want to replace associated filters for a further improvement. Also, keep in mind that older motorcycles may have engine problems that can only be fixed with an overhaul and not just Power-1 engine oil.
123engineoil.co.uk is one of the leading sellers of quality and branded engine oil in the UK. We have been selling branded motorcycle oil for a very long time and have built strong ties with brands like Castrol. In addition, we have worked hard to ensure that our buyers find motorcycle engine oil at competitive prices.

Access Control Installation Portland
When you own a business, you obviously want to keep it protected and have everything managed correctly. It may seem that having an access control installation done by a locksmith in Portland system would be something costly due to the technological advancement of the system. However, an access control installation can be affordable for any type of business.
Through research, you will find that access control by definition means to have control of the access to all areas that allow some users in while keeping some of the others out of it. Many businesses have been using some type of an access control system for decades even just by utilizing a key and lock upon the front door such as a master key for commercial business security as an example . Even this simple and low tech support system is technically seen as a true type of access control.
A wide range of access control installation products
Modern access control systems take the facile lock and key idea and add some technological depth to it as well as extra security. These newly invented access control systems allow a few users to gain access to areas while preventing others access to those same areas. An access control system can be as simple as a digital keypad locking system possessing multiple combinations to a single electronic deadbolt that can log each user, their time of arrival and the date.
The options for access control systems are endless. Some come in different forms and many features. When you consult a Portland locksmith, you will find out the best option for your business. The most popular of all are biometric access control systems and card access control systems. Biometric systems work by identifying a user by his or her fingerprints and track access by this form of identification. Card access control is very popular as well. Employees will initially carry access cards with them and will use it to access their respective departments. The access control system will restore all access information each time the access cards are being used.
If having an access control installation sounds like something you would like to do, call a professional commercial locksmith in Portland. There are multiple choices of access control and varying amounts of them that can function in a way that will assist on the operation of your commercial business.

Hopalong Cassidy Takes Over
Harry 'Pop' Sherman began peddling silent movies during the first days of motion pictures, and eventually began producing his own independent movies. His one big success was Hopalong Cassidy, with William Boyd. By 1942 he was producing Hopalong Cassidy movies that United Artists distributed and those Hopalong Cassidy features came in at number two at the box office.
That is when Harry Sherman made a terrible decision. After 54 Hopalong Cassidy movies starring William Boyd, Sherman decided that he could use someone else to play the part of Hopalong Cassidy and save a bundle of money. He found a fellow to screen test with hair whitened to look like William Boyd's hair, and he brought the screen test to United Artists proclaiming that this new fellow would be the next Hopalong Cassidy. Unfortunately for Sherman, William Boyd found out about the screen test to replace him, and he walked off the set.
William Boyd sold his ranch and moved into a small apartment, and with every cent he could raise, he began negotiating with Clarence Mulford and United Artists for the rights to everything connected to the character. Sherman had enough films already shot to release Hopalong Cassidy movies through the spring of 1944, and after that Harry Sherman never found great success in any motion picture venture that he tried.
United Artists contracted for 6 movies from William Boyd to be delivered within twelve months, and this is the first one. They would buy six more the following year, bringing the total number of Hopalong Cassidy movies to sixty-six - a record for any one movie character that stands to this day. William Boyd hired George Archainbaud to direct them because he had directed many of the Sherman produced episodes and was familiar with the routine. You may notice a subtle difference in how the scenes are framed by the director, and there was a reason for that.
In 1946 television was a very new invention and not in many homes yet, but Boyd saw the future of television, and predicted that one day television would become a lucrative market for Hopalong Cassidy. At Boyd's suggestion the movies that he produced would be framed with the small television screen in mind. Pop a big bowl of white kernel popcorn with plenty of warm melted butter drizzled over it and enjoy the show.

Data 1 Building Diverts Toxic Stormwater from State Highway 99
Search code innovationsEnter a keyword to search for code innovations.
To prevent the death of endangered salmon in Lake Washington from toxic stormwater pollution, the Data 1 mixed office and retail building in Fremont Seattle, WA will divert water from the Aurora Bridge on State Route 99 into a series of bioretention cells in their landscaping. This helped win Salmon Safe certification and a Master Use permit in 2016.
Permitting Process
Research has shown the immediate effect of polluted stormwater runoff on salmon, resulting in acute chemical exposure which kills fish in a short period of time (J. McIntyre, 2015). This project capitalized on a new development standard to address stormwater pollution with green infrastructure. Permitting followed the Design Review Board process with public discourse but few complications. Developers maximized building volume for the parcel and earned the Master Use permit through the innovative public benefit service of diverting polluted stormwater from the overhead State Route 99's Aurora Bridge to bioretention cells on their private property.
By demonstrating the design in good faith with the Seattle Stormwater Code, the City of Seattle granted a permit to connect the Aurora Bridge's drainage system with the designed bioretention cells. Additional permission was required from State transportation officials to access the water from the bridge, and also to modify the effluent into a Federal waterway. These tiered rain gardens are designed to filter 200,000 gallons of water per year. Other building features complied with local requirements, and a public comment period tuned design features to improve neighborhood character. Public education signs throughout the site will describe how the tiered rain gardens filter stormwater toxins to benefit salmon.
|Code Requirement
|Compliance Path
|State Environmental Policy Act requires "Determination of Non-Significance", (DNS) issued if officials determine there will be no probable significant adverse environmental impacts
|Data 1 complied with SEPA regulations by demonstrating compliance with the Stormwater Control Manual and incorporating a green roof and the engineered rain garden featured in this study.
|Seattle Stormwater Code requires projects to meet the requirements of the City's Non-Point Discharge Elimination System permit (NPDES)
|The permit was issued by Seattle to the property owner to divert stormwater from the overhead highway to the landscape feature as part of the effort "liberally construed to accomplish" environmental remediation in Seattle.
Project DescriptionThe rain garden system is a series of seven planted cells, separated by metal weir walls, linked by perforated culverts which drain the water from one cell to the next to maximize filtration and soil saturation. Each box measures 200-300 square feet and is filled with river rocks and engineered soil medium to create a natural stream bed effect. Plants were selected for drought tolerance, hardiness to toxins, soil stabilization characteristics, and aesthetic appeal.
The bioretention cells slow and clean the water as it approaches the Fremont Cut waterway, and allows sediment and metals to settle into the treatment cells rather than washing directly into the waterway. Reduction in turbidity has been shown to be critically beneficial for aquatic species downstream. Each cell can treat more than 80 gallons per hour, with a cumulative treatment capacity of more than 600 gallons per hour. Over a year, the bioretention cells will treat 200,000 gallons of stormwater runoff.
The rain gardens provide enough capacity and treatment potential to reduce water pollution from storm events, and the overhead bridge creates a shady space where the water is able to cool on its way to the Fremont Cut, where temperature sensitive fish live. This simple and small opportunity to slow, clean and soak into the soil mitigates immediate lethal impacts affecting fish populations.
To enhance the impact of this innovation, developers include signage for the garden to boost awareness among passersby. In addition to the bioretention rain garden, the green roof feature also helped Data 1 meet Salmon Safe requirements.
Salmon Safe Certification is a popular credential for developers in the Seattle area. Prescribed construction and utility practices must comply with environmental building codes governing British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and Northern California. The core categories for Salmon Safe urban development are stormwater management, water use management, erosion prevention and sediment control, chemical and pesticide reduction and water quality protection, and enhancement of urban ecological function.

MotivationsData 1's rain gardens service one of Seattle's busiest highways, and water quality studies showed runoff from the SR-99 bridge as particularly polluted. Developers learned of the impact roadway toxins have on aquatic populations and saw their development as an opportunity to address water quality in the Fremont Cut and create a functional landscape feature.
Underway in September 2017, Data 1 will provide nearly 120,000 square feet of retail and office space, part of Tableau Software's expansion adding more than one million square feet of office space in four buildings in North Lake Union and Fremont, just a few miles away from their previous headquarters in South Lake Union. Inspired by a nearby award-winning building - the Terry Thomas - Data 1 incorporates many people-friendly features: naturally lit office space with windows for every room, ground level retail and a plaza for pedestrians, a bicycle entrance with indoor storage and shower room, a green roof and rooftop gathering area. Unique features of Data 1 include a piece of the Berlin Wall and commissioned artwork to enhance sense of place, and the landscape feature highlighted in this report.
The change in location to the suburban neighborhood north of the ship canal, adjacent to transportation amenities such as the Burke-Gilman Trail and SR-99, benefits the commuter culture for Tableau. While the company gains some breathing room from contemporary giant Amazon.com and others, they remain close enough to continue a neighborly business culture.
Design / Build Process
The innovative rain garden design went through the City of Seattle permitting processes earning public support along the way. This began with an Early Design Guidance meeting for public input on neighborhood impacts as required by the Seattle Land Use Code. Early plans included a plaza area for pedestrian traffic and incorporated this activity area with the rain gardens. These public, pedestrian-oriented features and the educational aspect helped the project earn support from the Design Review Board, helping to build enthusiasm for the project moving forward. After several reviews and public comment periods, the Building Permit was issued October 2015.
Data 1's feature is one of 12,000 rain gardens throughout the Seattle area being constructed this decade. It is the first of a series of rain gardens in the Fremont neighborhood which will annually filter 2 million gallons of rainfall from the northern half of the SR-99 bridge before entering the Fremont Cut waterway. Seattle administrators are eager to address storm water pollution as each local certified Salmon Safe project improves the ecosystem downstream. This project is an early demonstration of a major quality improvement in surface water runoff from roadways and a significant step to addressing the crisis of stormwater pollution in Seattle, COU LLC streamlined the permitting process on Data 1 with progressive stewardship.

What do you look for in Valentine's Day cocktails? All that really matters is that the person drinking it likes it. But a romantic name or a red, pink or even violet color can add novelty to your cocktail. So can rich, delicious flavors like coffee and chocolate.
Looking for some Valentine's Day Lounge music? Check out the St. Valentine Lounge – Chillout compilation.
Valentine's Day Cocktails Recipes
1. Romance is a candy 'tini with Kahlua, Baileys, Creme de Cacao and cream. Garnish it with shaved chocolate and pay attention to presentation, and this one gets a big "wow!"
2. The Chocolate Cherry Cha Cha uses cherry liqueur and sparkling water with chocolate vodka and coconut rum to reproduce the flavor of a chocolate covered cherry. Plus, it's a gorgeous bright red.
3. The Soft Love is a reddish-pink cordial that tastes like banana and cherry. Perfect before dinner.
4. Robin's Nest may not sound the part, but it sure looks and tastes it. It's red, and also features the flavors of cranberry juice with creme de cacao.
5. The Creamy Chocolate Raspberry tastes just like it sounds, with a red sugar rim to make it festive.
6. The Kiss on the Lips is a blended peach, mango and berry cocktail served on Carnival Cruise lines.
7. The Lady Killer certainly deserves a place among Valentine's Day cocktails. Sweet and fruity.
8. The Love Bite is a shooter – cherry, orange and cream.
Think you can't pour a layered cocktail? There's a video at the bottom of this post to show you how easy it is.
9. The Vesper is James Bond's signature cocktail in Casino Royale, not the famous "shaken, not stirred" vodka martini. It's named for the woman who broke his heart.
10. The Pink Lady is another old classic featuring applejack and egg.
11. The Hanky Panky is an old classic with an orange-spice-mint taste that's hard to pin down, but addictive.
12. The Pomegranate Martini is a fine choice for the holiday. It comes out pinkish, like the Cosmopolitan, which is another safe and easy choice that works.
13. The English Rose is bright red and rimmed with sugar – ideally, gold sugar.
14. It may be blue, but with a name like Sex in the Driveway, this drink just kind of fits the holiday.
15. The Boulevardier is a little like a Negroni, featuring Campari, bourbon and vermouth.
16. The Phoebe Snow is an old classic that uses Dubonnet, cognac and just a touch of absinthe. Just explaining it sounds frightfully romantic!
17. The Tiatip is a gorgeous black and white layered shooter featuring Tia Maria and Baileys. Because it's just two layers, it's very easy to pour and looks fantastic. Tastes even better.
18. The Scarlet O'Hara, on the other hand, has a name that calls to mind romance. And Southern Comfort. Not a bad combination.
19. For a very refreshing Valentine cocktail, the Ruby Red features grapefruit juice and grapefruit vodka along with Campari and soda.
20. The Betsie Temple is another fun pink-orange drink… with a surprising amount of rum.
21. The Monopoly Cocktail is a fascinating blend of blackcurrant, cranberry and strawberry, and makes a cute pun if you serve it to someone who has a "monopoly" on your heart.
22. The Felicia Cocktail is red and garnished with a sliver of apple to denote the apple vodka in it, mixed with cranberry juice.
23. It's neither sweet nor pink, but the mythology behind absinthe makes the Green Fairy a fine choice for a valentine.
24. Strawberry Sunrise is a beautiful red strawberry-liqueur cocktail, and that makes it sweet enough to replace dessert.
25. The Strawberry Blonde has a couple of variations: pick the champagne one for Valentine's Day.

This used to be a common occurrence on our block. Parents would gather in the front yards and watch the plethora of kids available on our cul-de-sac play in the streets. Our front yard is a high perch from which to yell at cars moving too fast up the street, but more often than not, we all just set up chairs on the asphalt. We were a human blockade. On this evening there was a celebration of Noah's departure for Boise State and an excuse to hang out once more. I miss those simple days watching the children play in the streets. I really do.

If you are tired of skateboarding, try some snowboarding game instead! Leave your skate in your garage, because snow is here and you can enjoy some fun activities on snow with your snowboard. Pick one drop point to begin and have some fun. This is not a classic skateboard game, but it is sure very cool!
How to play:
Your goal is to rotate and to keep your balance as more as you can. Use arrow keys to keep balance and cross finish line.

In Florida, non-residential (commercial) tenances are controlled by Florida Statutes Chapter 83, Part I.
The landlord is required to file an eviction in Court in order to remove a tenant.
Before an eviction may be filed, the landlord must terminate the tenancy. Different types of violations of the lease require the issuance of different notices in order to terminate the tenancy. It is the notice that terminates the tenancy.
There are three main reasons to evict a tenant.
- Non-payment of rent
- Breach of the lease terms
- Holding over after the tenancy has ended.
All of the forms are available on the page Landlords/Forms/Legal. Be sure to read the instructions for the proper use of the forms
Post a 3-day notice conspicuously at the leased premises. If the tenant does not deliver the rent money in full to the landlord's address by the expiration date on the notice the rental agreement is deemed terminated and the landlord may file for eviction in court on the next business day. A copy of the lease (if there is one) and the 3 day notice must be attached to the complaint.
- Issue a 3 day notice
- Did tenant offer payment within the 3 days ?
- Full payment: Tenancy not terminated
- Partial Payement:
- Landlord may reject a partial payment and proceed to evict,
- or accept partial payment and issue a new 3-day for the balance due,
- or file an eviction and deposit the partial payment in the court registry
- No payement within 3 days: the tenancy is terminated. The tenant does not have the right to reinstate the tenancy by paying after the 3 days.
If the tenant is violating the lease terms the landlord must serve a 15 day notice of lease violation. If the violation is not cured by the expiration of the notice, the landlord may file a complaint for possession and damages without further notices.
No Lease:
- Issue Notice of Non-renewal (15 day notice, 7 day notice for week to week).
- Tenant moved out: case closed
- Tenant in still possession: file complaint for possession & double per diem rent.
- Lease expired on its own terms: no notice is required. File complaint for possession & double per diem rent

Road Worrier Blog
Legislative leaders squelch light rail, boost roads and bridges
The new state budget proposal deals a crippling blow to a planned $1.5 billion light-rail line from Durham to Chapel Hill, with a provision that would put a $500,000 limit on state funding for any light-rail project.
The budget also raises Division of Motor Vehicles fees for the first time in 10 years, provides $700 million more to build and repair roads and bridges, restores state money for driver's education classes, and eliminates the jobs of 29 specific Department of Transportation employees.
Charlotte launched North Carolina's first light-rail line eight years ago, with the state covering 25 percent of the construction cost. Triangle leaders have been counting on comparable support when their turn comes.
The prospect of a light-rail cap never came up when House and Senate leaders developed their separate budgets this year. The Republican-led legislature previously had clamped broader restrictions on funding for transit projects.
GoTriangle, the regional transit agency that wants to build the 17-mile Durham-Orange rail line, secured approval for $138 million in state funds this year when the state Board of Transportation approved the 10-year State Transportation Improvement Program.
But prospects for actually getting that money were cast in doubt when House and Senate Republican leaders released their budget Monday night with no explanation for the new cap. Chapel Hill Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt called the half-million-dollar cap a "project killer."
He said local officials and DOT officials have worked hard to develop the light-rail project. Orange and Durham agreed to pay their share with a dedicated half-cent sales tax levied in both counties, he said, and they counted on state funds.
"I don't understand why this should be politicized," Kleinschmidt said. "For (legislators) to do this is really quite shocking. It is very disappointing."
Jeff Mann, GoTriangle's general manager, said the Durham-Orange line proved its merit when it competed with highway projects for funding under a new program developed by Republican leaders for setting transportation spending priorities.
"The Durham-Orange Light Rail Transit Project scored well in the data-driven process under the Strategic Transportation Investments law, which this (budget) would circumvent," Mann said. "GoTriangle will continue to seek state funding for the project, which we believe is the best transportation solution for the corridor."
Leaders in Orange and Durham counties have planned all along to get roughly half the capital cost from the federal government and one-quarter from the state, with the remainder coming from local sales taxes. This week, the Federal Transit Administration gave GoTriangle $1.7 million to support plans for transit-oriented development around the light-rail stations.
Wake County should not be affected by the new light-rail limit. The transit plan under consideration in the capital county includes an option for rail – but it's not the "light" kind, which runs on electricity. Wake is considering a transit plan that might include heavier trains called diesel multiple units – rail cars powered by individual diesel engines.
The new budget also takes aim at 29 state Department of Transportation employees, whose jobs – listed by their individual position numbers – are identified for elimination.
In addition to firing those workers, DOT is ordered to eliminate another 21 "filled positions that are centrally or regionally based and that perform administrative, managerial, supervisory, or oversight functions."
It's a list pared down from an earlier Senate budget proposal to get rid of 56 specific DOT employees. The reduced hit list still includes veteran engineers and two senior managers with salaries above $115,000: Debbie Barbour, who oversees highway design, project development and other services as DOT's preconstruction director; and Jennifer Brandenburg, who is responsible for highway maintenance and other chores as DOT's asset management engineer.
Legislative leaders have said the job cuts are related to stepped-up quotas for outsourcing – to let private contractors take over engineering and other jobs now done by DOT employees. But no explanations have been offered for the particular names chosen for elimination.
Transportation Secretary Nick Tennyson declined to comment on the transportation budget. Barbour and Brandenburg did not respond to requests for comment.
Elsewhere in the budget, legislators target unfilled positions in other departments for elimination. Twelve employees are marked for transfer to the newly reorganized Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, where they risk having their jobs reclassified or eliminated.
The budget also:
Halts the yearly transfer of $216 million from the Highway Fund to the General Fund. This is gas tax money, generally intended for transportation needs. The change means that DOT will have more money for roads and bridges, and the State Highway Patrol budget will be covered instead by income tax and other General Fund revenues.
This action, one of the biggest revenue shifts in the entire state budget, still leaves about $40 million in gas tax receipts that will continue to be spent for non-DOT needs.
Gives DOT more money to spend in key areas. Over the next two years, the budget will increase spending for construction projects by $337 million, replacement of substandard bridges by $147 million, road resurfacing by $147 million and state ports by $70 million.
Restores state funding for driver's education at roughly last year's level, enough to cover most of the cost with students paying a $65 fee (or local schools making up the difference).
The budget includes a stepped-up state effort to strengthen oversight of local driver's ed programs by the Department of Public Instruction. A legislative oversight committee will study driver's ed and recommend improvements next year.
Increases Division of Motor Vehicle fees. The fee for an eight-year driver's license renewal will rise from $32 to $40. The cost of renewing your car registration each year, not counting the county property tax you pay at the same time, will rise from $51 to $66. This is the first DMV fee hike since 2005. Starting in 2020, the fees will rise every four years under a new inflation-indexed formula.
Adds new fees for late registration renewals. If your registration is expired for less than one month, you pay $15; more than one or less than two months, $20; two months or longer, $25. The late fees will be used to pay for driver's ed.
Establishes the "DOT Report" program to make DOT more accountable when citizens complain about potholes – which would have to be patched within two business days after the complaint is filed – and other problems.
Increases the highway use (sales) tax on some commercial vehicles.
Gives DOT authority to plan and build more toll roads and bridges. The authorized list is expanded to include 11 projects – nine to be named in the future plus two that are on the books now: the completion of the 540 Outer Loop in Wake County and the Monroe Connector Bypass in Union and Mecklenburg counties.

It's time for me to start reducing the amount of gear that I have that I rarely use. Back when I was using my Ricoh GR a lot more for street photography I frequently paired it with an optical viewfinder. I enjoy composing with a viewfinder rather than through a screen because I feel that it puts you a little closer to the action and I could feel more connected to the scene.
I've moved away from the genre of street photography and these finders are just sat in a box no longer being used.
They're all being modelled on the Ricoh GR which is not included in the sale.
If you have any questions or have any enquiries, hit me up at email@example.com
Voigtlander 35mm Brightline Optical Finder
The Rolls Royce of hotshoe optical viewfinders.
Crystal clear optics with very bright 35mm frame lines.
Solid metal construction with build quality you'd expect from Japan, this thing is built like a tank.
Diax 35mm Optical View Finder with Original Leather Case
The viewfinder is in great condition. Metal construction, clear optics and bright 35mm frame lines. This model features parallax compensation by rotating the rear element.
The original leather case has a broken strap but otherwise in good condition.
Voigtlander Kontur 24x36 35mm Finder with Original Leather Case
Voigtlander Kontur 24x36 35mm optical view finder.
The condition of the finder is good, there are a couple of marks.
The original leather case has a couple of scuffs.
It is intended to be used with both eyes open, with the finder only projecting a set of framelines onto the view of the subject seen by the unobstructed eye. I've found it brilliant for street photography since it allows you to see everything outside the frame.
Model 335/23 has 50mm frame lines for 35mm cameras.
