Royal may refer to:
Royal is a former restaurant in The Hague, Netherlands. It was a fine dining restaurant that was awarded one Michelin star in the period 1958-1968.
The building in which the restaurant was located was once the residence of Constantijn Huygens. Restaurant Royal was housed at the address Kneuterdijk 1 from August 1890 till 1918. In 1918, the restaurant, at that time under the leadership of L.J.A. Kemper, relocated to the address Lange Voorhout 44.
The restaurant got into serious difficulties in 1987. Attempts to save it by newspaper publisher A.G. Sijthoff and Brewery Heineken failed an the building was sold to real estate broker Harry Mens, who converted it to an office building. During the rebuilding and renovation, several special artefacts, like the glass dome, were conserved.
The building is a Rijksmonument since 1973.
Fundy Royal (formerly known as Royal from 1914 to 1966, Fundy—Royal from 1966 to 2003, and Fundy in 2003-2004) is a federal electoral district in southern New Brunswick, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1917.
The riding roughly covers the area in between the three largest cities in the province; Fredericton, Saint John and Moncton. Included in the riding are the towns of Quispamsis, Hampton, Sussex, St. Martins, Petitcodiac, Salisbury and part of Riverview. Also included are the area around Loch Lomond east of Saint John, and the Kingston Peninsula.
The neighbouring ridings are Saint John—Rothesay, New Brunswick Southwest, Fredericton, Miramichi—Grand Lake, Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe, and Beauséjour.
The riding of "Royal" was created in 1914. The name came from the counties of Queens and Kings, of which it was composed.
In 1966, Royal riding was amalgamated with most of Albert County and a rural portion of Saint John County into a new riding, "Fundy—Royal". One parish in Queens county was reapportioned into York—Sunbury at this time. In the 2003 redistribution, it lost almost all of Queens County and a large part of Kings County to other ridings; while gaining western Westmorland County. The riding was renamed "Fundy". This name was changed to "Fundy Royal" in 2004. As per the 2012 federal electoral redistribution, this riding will gain territories from Beauséjour, Saint John and New Brunswick Southwest, and lose a small territory to the new riding of Saint John—Rothesay.

The Bay of Fundy located between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick is known for the world's highest tides. Low tide and high tide in the Bay of Fundy can be watched particularly well at Maitland nearby Truro. The highest tides of all times with 21 m was measured here. Depending on lunar phases and the seasons the tides during our visit was at about 14 m. At low tide, the landscape is wide and open; high tide pushes the sea further into the bay. The changes of the landscape in a very short time is really amazing and this happens twice a day. In the video we show several times the same stretch of coastline twice; once at low tide and once at high tide. At high tides it is popular to do rafting in the onrushing wave. The sunset's spectacular play of colours can be best viewed from the water. W...

Oh My Godmother: The Glitter Trap by Barbara Brauner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Cute - the type of book that will appeal to girls (and those mothers worried about "content"). This first book in the series sets up what I'm guessing is the premise: ordinary, not-popular girl runs into a fairy godmother, does magic, everyone learns lessons, fairy godmother disappears.
In this case, the "running into" is more "fairy godmother flies into the glitter-glued hair", and boy is she cranky! This is not your traditional sweet, understanding, helpful fairy godmother. No, Katatina is more concerned with being demoted and fulfilling her mission with Paige than helping Lacey with her problems. It's almost impossible to spoiler a book like this, because you know the ending will be a happy one.

Injury could mean end of JV season for Yellowjackets
Just when things were starting to look up for the Berkeley High boys' volleyball team, a freak injury may have thrown their season into chaos.
Early in the opening game of Tuesday's match against Alameda, Berkeley's Ethan Ashley landed on a teammate's foot and rolled his ankle. With just seven active players on the team, the 'Jackets were left with no substitutes and couldn't give much resistance to the Hornets, falling 15-7, 15-12, 15-3.
How serious Ashley's injury turns out to be will likely decide the fate of the school's first-year junior varsity program. If Ashley is out for any considerable amount of time, Berkeley head coach Justin Caraway is likely to forfeit the remaining JV games and pull all six players up to varsity.
"There's no way we can compete with only the six guys I've got left," Caraway said. "We're in serious trouble if Ethan's gone for the rest of the year."
The 'Jackets admittedly won't be going very far this year no matter what condition Ashley's ankle is in. They have lost four straight matches and are just 1-4 in ACCAL play, with a group of unexperienced underclassmen unlikely to turn the season around. The abandonment of the JV schedule would be doubly painful for Caraway, who has worked hard for the past two seasons to establish the training ground for his younger players.
Caraway admitted that pulling up the junior varsity would be a move born of desperation.
"I don't think our JV players are ready to compete at this level," he said. "But I may not have a choice."
Although the 'Jackets didn't win Tuesday, at least they weren't fighting amongst themselves in the loss. The team ended last week with internal strife marring the picture, as star Robin Roach lost his temper after watching his teammates struggle to make plays for the past two seasons. Roach was smiling again Tuesday, patting his teammates on the back even when a mistake was made.
"We were looking pretty good. We had a good practice yesterday, and we had high energy and were communicating on the court, Caraway said. "But this injury puts us in a tough position. I'm going to have to make a decision by tomorrow's practice whether we're going to have a JV for the rest of the year."

Double Diamond Review
The saying goes: 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'. That's in essence what International Game Technology's (IGT) ethos has been with the ultra-playable (and potentially very rewarding) Double Diamond slot. The game was first developed for land-based casinos such as those in Las Vegas, London and Monte Carlo, where it's recognised as one of the world's most famous classic video slot machines. It features a simple layout, intuitive gameplay, classic symbols and a highly satisfying after-effect. The game has payout percentages around 95.4%, with frequent base wins and simple multipliers virtue of iconic win-boosting wilds. If James Bond hit a slot machine before battling baddies on the poker table, you can bet it would be Double Diamond.
About Double Diamond Slot Game
IGT's Double Diamond slot is referred to by the developers as "the dazzling hit that launched a gaming revolution", thanks to its start as an iconic modern-era video slot in Las Vegas. The slot's transition to online casinos has been impressive, retaining the same classic gameplay, symbols and wild payout structure that made it famous. The beauty of the game lies in its simplicity – three reels, one payline, five base icons and the Wild.
The game's icons comprise of cherries, three different bar symbols and the big-paying 777. The joker in the pack is, of course, the Double Diamond Wild, which can boost wins by 200 to 400%. Although IGT's slot is powered by sophisticated technology to make it super slick and fast, the graphics retain the authentic feel of 'old school' Vegas. If jackpot fruit machines are your passion, you'll love the look, sounds and gratuitous joy of spinning Double Diamond.
Double Diamond Slot Features, Specials and Symbols
Double Diamond is very easy to play as you only have one payline to bet across; you simply select a spin value ranging from 0.10 up to 200.00 (in some online casinos). Payouts can range from 2x to 1000x your stake:
Symbol Frequency Payout Diamond Double 3x 1000x 777 3x 40x 3-Bar 3x 40x 2-Bar 3x 25x Bar 3x 10x Cherries 3x 10x Any Bar 3x 5x Cherries 2x 5x Cherry 1x 2x
Wild Win Multipliers
The Double Diamond Wild symbol substitutes for all other icons to help you form winning combinations:
- One Wild Win Combo = 2x
- Two Wild Win Combo = 4x
- 777 + 2 Diamond Doubles = 320x.
Setting up your budget correctly can deliver long gaming sessions, offering excellent value entertainment. Although auto-spin can be selected, part of the appeal of Double Diamond is spinning at your own pace. Double Diamond video slot from IGT is a great option if you want to experience the thrill of playing authentic Las Vegas slots online, from the comfort of your sofa. While you may marvel at the sophistication and 3D graphics of today's cutting-edge slots, they'll struggle to match the elegance of Double Diamond. This is a timeless gaming classic that rewards you with satisfying simplicity, lots of small wins and the potential for something special.

We've done a 3 reasons for an AC Bachelor Party before, so here's five more reasons sure to prove that Atlantic City, NJ is a great idea for the bachelor party you're looking to plan or attend.
Mike – AtlanticCity-BachelorParty.com
- Location – AC, and New Jersey in general, is located centrally on the east coast making it easily accessible and drive-able from everywhere ranging from Connecticut down to Virginia. It's also got a great small airport making it easy to fly into (or fly into Philly for a short drive or train down). Got friends in multiple places, they can all easily meet in AC and usually get there in very cheap ways. There's a train from NYC (that sells beer), trains from PA/Philly (bring your own beer), and tons of roads that converge on America's Favorite Playground.
- It's Shady and Classy – yup, it's the two best things you could want – all in one town. Within the same block in AC you can be smoking incredible cigars surrounded by leather and mahogany sharing stories of how the bachelor helps little orphan kids OR you could be throwing frozen bags of peas at a former escort while you make the bachelor eat the peas that fall out of the bag. You can imagine the full range of shady things and classy things your group can get into – we'll just help you set it up and come up with even better ideas for the bachelor parties. Fill out the contact form on the main page.
- Carrot Top – you will never find Carrot Top playing anywhere here. AC has quality entertainment if you're into hitting a quick show type thing or there's a good concert in town. Use some of our posts on "How to Find Out What's Happening in Atlantic City" to get ideas on what's in town.
- Good Guy – when you tell people you went to or are going to Vegas for a bachelor party, they pretty much expect you to kill a stripper and overdose on drugs. Don't get me wrong , we LOVE Vegas and have a great business out there too; but, when you tell others (girlfriend, wife, co-workers) you went to / are going to AC for a bachelor party they don't look at you like you're gonna bang a donkey. In the case of girlfriends/wives, we've seen much higher acceptance conversion rate of letting you go to AC than many other places.
- Cabs – this may be lame, but when you want to get to where you're going next and you want to get there quickly cabs are important. We've spent WAY less time in cab lines in AC than just about anywhere else. Also, because the island is closer together and it's easier to get into/out of hotel cab areas it's cheaper than many other places too.
- Bonus: here's a 6th reason Atlantic City is a great bachelor party plan idea: we're here to help! Yup, a gratuitous plug for our amazing services of helping you throw/have the most insane / best bachelor party you've ever heard of. Use the contact form on the main page now!

HOUSTON—Shen Yun Performing Arts exceeded all expectations as a Christmas gift for the family as investor Jim Wilson attended the matinee in Houston at the Jones Hall for the Performing Arts, Dec. 24.
"It's fantastic," Mr. Wilson said. "The dancing's incredible, the singing as well."
And wrapped up with the Tang imperial drummers and the elaborate headdresses of Manchurian princesses, Mr. Wilson found himself learning more than he expected about the Chinese culture.
"I've read a lot about it but this is my first time seeing it live," Mr. Wilson said of New York-based Shen Yun. "I think it's fabulous.
"I've really enjoyed it," he added. "We've been really enjoying Christmas Eve here."
Enlightening Experiences
Also in the audience was Mr. Leo Grove, an entrepreneur and president of ssl.com. "I do recommend it—it's very good," Mr. Grove said.
Mr. Grove said he appreciated the insight into modern day China he got from the show. As some audience members were surprised to realize, Shen Yun cannot be performed in China. The 5,000 years of divinely inspired culture is not one that is readily found in China today.
One of the pieces Mr. Grove found most eye-opening shed light on Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa. The spiritual practice was founded in 1992 in China and follows traditional Chinese beliefs; however, the practice is now persecuted under the Chinese regime, and Mr. Grove said the performance helped give insight on the situation.
"It's [a] really colorful, nice, cultural experience," Mr. Grove said.
Mr. Fernando Scaglia, a physician and researcher who teaches at the Baylor College of Medicine, attended the performance as well and was deeply inspired by the spiritual culture he saw.
"It's wonderful," said Mr. Scaglia. "It also has a lot of meaning."
Mr. Scaglia had attended a Shen Yun Orchestra performance just months ago and felt he had to see the performance with dance. Shen Yun Orchestra is truly unique in that it combines the sounds of both East and West, blending traditional Chinese instruments into a full Western symphony.
After seeing Shen Yun, Mr. Scaglia was inspired. "Compassion, mercy, looking for the original self, truthfulness. That's the inspiration I take," Mr. Scaglia said.
"I think it's a take-home message for everybody," he added. "I would recommend it to everybody.
Mr. Richard Dickerson, a software engineer, also attended the performance with his wife, and he shared similar sentiments.
"It's wonderful to see the spirit of China in such color and grace," Mr. Dickerson said. "It's very moving and I was glad to see it."
Mr. Dickerson said that Shen Yun has combined color, music, and the art of traditional Chinese dance in a way that it was truly "spiritual and heartfelt."
"It's very joyful and moving," Mr. Dickerson said. "It just calls to the heart, and I hope it comes back home soon."
For Michelle and Jerry Bailey, the performance was "something to remember for a lifetime." The couple attended the performance to celebrate not only the holidays, but their anniversary and their health.
"This is a special occasion for my husband and I," Mrs. Bailey said. Mr. Bailey is currently battling cancer, which is why they wanted to see the performance that day, Mrs. Bailey said.
"It's terrific," Mr. Bailey said of the performance. "It's very high energy, very stimulating, it's a very good long-term memory impression."
"We were blessed by this [performance] today," Mr. Bailey said.
Mrs. Bailey added that the experience was both special and exciting, and humbling to watch.
"I thought it was magnificent," Mrs. Bailey said.
Reporting by NTD Television and Catherine Yang
New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts has four touring companies that perform simultaneously around the world. For more information, visit Shen Yun Performing Arts.
The Epoch Times considers Shen Yun Performing Arts the significant cultural event of our time. We have proudly covered audience reactions since Shen Yun's inception in 2006.

In the romance novel world there are thousands of book with heroes who are "bad boys but good men." Gruff sort of jerks who melt and capitulate about halfway through the story. And the heroine, be she sassy, pathetic, or a siren (whichever she is she's plucky and untarnished) – inevitably serves to bring out the best in this manwhore or ne'er do well. This book blows that bullshit out of the water.
Lorenzo is a psycho. Not in a cute tough guy way. Not like he's a good person who sometimes has to do bad things. He's legitimately nuts. Scarlet, who he meets in a pretty fantastic way, is mighty balls-out herself. As soon as I figured out what she did for a living my perspective on this book changed. Here's an author who lets her heroine be every bit the gritty bad-ass that the hero is. I'm not sure I've ever read a romance where I thought the hero might kill the heroine at some point – oddly enough I'm totally okay with it here.
I have a lot of respect for Darhower – willing to write two people so unsympathetic and to make them likable. On top of that, this book has some heavy emotional shit, but it doesn't lower itself to blubbering and pandering. Lorenzo and Scarlet are tough – and this book does a good job of tempering the drama with violence and action. I'm going straight on to the next one. (PS – this ends on a cliffy – if you're gonna read it plan on committing to two books. No real option to stop at one.)Me

Okra, known as Lady Fingers in some parts of the world, forms an elongated fruit from each flower. The flowers only last for a day or two and the fruits are ready to pick just a few days after that. Okra is most commonly prepared in stir fries and sautées. This okra plant is growing in a self-watering container made from buckets recycled from a restaurant and some inexpensive parts. #TeachEverywhereGrowAnywhere #FoodSecurityIsFreedom

Growing Your Own Food is Independence
This last week has been a whirlwind of activity for KPS4Parents and its Learn & Grow Educational Series. While we were working with students and developing instructional content for children, the political and economic situation in Venezuela took an absolute turn for the worst.
Venezuela is the first internet-connected population of hungry and starving people. Professionals living in high rise apartments with high speed internet are panicked over the absolute lack of food available in the country and desperately trying to figure out how they can grow their own food. Today is also Independence Day in the United States, so the concept of "independence" has been heavy on my mind in light of the situation in Venezuela.
Our Learn & Grow Educational Series was discovered by internet users in Venezuela just over a week ago and, once we realized we had an audience there, we started pushing Facebook ads in Venezuela promoting our gardening and food education program based on using self-watering containers made from recycled plastic buckets and inexpensive hardware. The response to our modest Facebook ad investment has been overwhelming and humbling.
The questions we've been getting have been about some of the most basic concepts of gardening, like how seeds work. This situation has made it frighteningly clear what the consequences are when people have not been educated about growing their own food. The thanks we've been receiving from grateful Facebook fans and website visitors has been very emotionally moving.
The problem, it appears, is that Venezuela was an oil-rich country for a very long time and the oil revenues subsidized the commercial food supply. People got away from growing their own food and relied on the grocery stores that were stocked with packaged foods, much of which was shipped in from outside the country. Then, the economy collapsed. Oil prices dropped and Venezuela was no longer generating the revenues it once did. The government couldn't afford to subsidize the commercial food supply, so it stopped. And, now the stores are empty.
The Venezuelan government is now only in business for four mornings a week and the power is cut off for three hours each day everywhere but Caracas, the capital, to save money. Some people have resorted to attacking delivery trucks to steal their food cargoes. People with the money to do so have been grocery shopping on Amazon.com and having their food FedExed to them. The middle class and low-income households have not been so lucky.
Help us teach people everywhere how to grow food anywhere.
There has never been a hunger situation quite like this one and Learn & Grow is in the unique position to do something that helps put the power back into the hands of the people to feed themselves. Granted, if they start now, they're going to still have some lean months ahead of them before their plants come to bear, but greens and carrots can be ready to pick in a couple of months, as can cucumbers and tomatoes, if started right now. Potatoes can be grown year-round, if the soil is kept warm enough during cool weather, as can onions.
People with small spaces available for growing can collaborate with neighbors in similar circumstances to create growing cooperatives. This may be a good solution for apartment and condominium dwellers, for example, who only have limited balcony space for each home, but collectively have many balconies on which many self-watering containers could be planted.
I sincerely hope that the people in Venezuela who are building their own container gardens are also teaching their neighbors how to do so, as well. Not everybody there is still internet-connected. As the economy continues to tank, I'm not sure how long anybody there will remain connected, so we're doing our best to push our instructional content for building the self-watering containers and starting gardens while the connection remains.
Right now, the only aid we have any ability to deliver is internet-based instruction, which may not last much longer. This, too, is unprecedented. Rather than dropping food aid from American airplanes, we're dropping Facebook ads that push our instructional content about how to grow food in front of the people who need it the most. We're using targeted social media marketing to educate a starving population on a way to feed itself. We are acutely aware that this is no small thing. We are awestruck at finding ourselves in the middle of this situation. It's serendipity, it seems.
I have to be honest. It was doomsday thinking along the lines of what is now happening in Venezuela that compelled me to create Learn & Grow when I was working on my graduate degree and had to create an educational product for a class. At the time, and those close to me will confirm I've said this more than once, my concern was that people in the United States were not worried about enough of the most important things when it comes to freedom. While the Constitution gives us the right to bear arms to protect ourselves from government take-over, the government doesn't have enough gun-toting soldiers to kick in the door of every American home and take us over that way.
The only way to put every American at the business end of a gun is if Americans are turned on each other with the guns they have the right to bear, and the easiest way to do that is to cut off the commercial food supply. The next thing you know, BMW-driving suburbanites are shooting each other in the streets over cans of creamed corn; hypothetically speaking, anyway. This was my fear, so I created Learn & Grow to teach kids how to grow their own food, then expanded the instruction to include families and communities once I realized how desperately the adult population needed the knowledge, as well.
So, now, here we now have Venezuela going through pretty much the very horror I was envisioning and I'm just heartbroken and mortified. There is no satisfaction in being right about something like the collapse of the commercial food supply in a developed country and the effects such a collapse has on a population. Desperation, if not savagery, has escalated in Venezuela. The crime is rampant. The law enforcement is grossly inadequate and without the resources to do much of anything.
This isn't me being morbid about the future, anymore. This is reality for millions of people who didn't see it coming and are now having to deal with the absence of a commercial food supply and nothing else immediately available to take its place.
This is also a severe wake-up call for the rest of the world. Dependence upon a commercial food supply is dangerous to the long-term survival of populations. Creating a dependence upon a commercial food supply gives those controlling the food supply control over the people.
Knowing basic survival skills is an important part of being a human being no matter how sophisticated our technology becomes and robbing people of that knowledge robs them of their independence. No entity should have that kind of control over entire populations of people. There is a significant lesson to be learned, here, and the rest of the world would do itself well to pay attention.
The preventive step is for people who are not already going through economic crises to start their own gardens of whatever type makes the most sense for them, our approach being just one of many. By learning to grow your own food now in whatever types of spaces you have available, you will be prepared should a crisis with the commercial food supply occur. Practice now when your mistakes won't cost you as much and you can afford to take your time to experiment and figure things out. Learning how to grow your own food after your economy has already collapsed and the stores are already empty makes getting it right the first time a matter of health, if not life.
I created Learn & Grow with the intention of prevention. I wanted to teach kids everywhere how to grow food anywhere so that they could one day survive a food crises, come what may. I never imagined that the time would so quickly come when Learn & Grow would become a means of survival for people in crisis. And, yet, here we are.
By teaching kids how to grow their own food, we equip our future leaders with the skills they need to feed themselves and future generations, and the wisdom to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. The remarkable reality of the current situation in Venezuela is that we are able to do so much for so little money, but it's still costing us money and we're still a non-profit. We still need donation revenue to keep our non-profit activities going, and that includes the Facebook ad dollars that are getting this important information about how to grow food anywhere to people throughout Venezuela who can use it to feed their families.
There is still time to take advantage of the remaining contact we have through the internet to provide instruction on growing food to the people there, but we need to invest in additional resources in order to be as effective as possible. We are working on Spanish-language how-to materials and videos and will promote them via Facebook ads once they are done, but there are costs associated with this work and we need donations to help cover those costs. Please help us use the tools available to us to equip people in Venezuela with a way to grow their own food no matter where they live by donating to KPS4Parents.
By no means is Venezuela the only country where the Learn & Grow Educational Series stands to be an important part of hunger prevention and relief, but this is where we can be most impactful right now. Donation revenue is needed to expand the Learn & Grow Educational Series into a program that reaches into all the places in the world where it can do the most good. Please help us teach kids, families, and communities everywhere how to grow food anywhere. Thank you for your love and support!
Help us teach people everywhere how to grow food anywhere.
From Bucket to Table: The Life Story of a Squash
At first, there's the female flower with a little green bulb behind it. Pollen from the male flowers, which are on straight stems, fertilize the female flower, causing the little green bulb to develop into a squash fruit.
Once the flower has been fertilized, it dries up and the little green bulb grows into a new, developing squash fruit.
Over a few days, with adequate water, sun, soil nutrients, and protection from pests, the squash fruit gets fatter and longer.
In just a few more days, the squash fruit is ready to pick.
Squash is delicious when combined with other fresh garden vegetables. All the veggies pictured here were freshly picked from our Learn & Grow test garden.
The picked squash fruit is waiting its turn to be chopped up for the skillet.
All the squash is now chopped.
All the chopped veggies and squash are in the skillet, waiting to be cooked.

Who are the homeless of San Diego? Yearly reports from several agencies reveal tragic glimpses of the humans everyone labels home-less. Homelessness has existed since the beginning of History, so I used to be just as jaded and callous as other people who always assumed the lot would always consist of the stereotypes: criminal offenders, the mentally ill, the infirm, addicts and other varieties of outcasts.

An Architectural Play – Theatrical Architecture
When Art and Architecture meet.
As humans we are constantly overwhelmed and barraged by a multitude of advertisements in any graphic form. There is so much of it that when walking through a square (Times Square is probably the epitome) we are tempted to forget that the space is formed by architectures of any kind.Continue Reading An Architectural Play – Theatrical Architecture

The Portes Ouvertes of Belleville
Sometimes overnight sensations take a long time. As with chanteuses, so it is with city neighborhoods. Belleville, Paris, is the perfect example. Located in the 20th arrondissement, Belleville was once a sleepy working-class backwater dotted with Chinese, North African and Jewish enclaves. Artists have been gradually moving into the cheap housing and former factories on its steep-sloped streets that provide extraordinary Parisian panoramas. Sharing the fate of other artist frontiers, this neighborhood has now been "discovered" and integrated into mainstream Paris.Continue Reading The Portes Ouvertes of Belleville

Acorns, an innovative investment app, has raised $10.5 million in fresh funds, as reported by VentureBeat. Acorns has been a mobile only play so far. The company is reported to be working on a web app and international support. Before this investment, the company had raised $9 million since its inception.
Acorns, the micro-investment mobile app, allows its users to round their purchases, made from credit and debit cards, up to the nearest dollar. A purchase of $59.34 would result in 66 cents being transferred to the user's Acorns account. The funds collected through these small changes are added to the user's diversified investment portfolio. These savings are then invested in exchange-traded funds. It is like having an investment manager working for you all the time, costs you nothing, and doesn't ask you to invest a grand or two, rather just pennies and petty change every time.
Acorns charges just $1 per month for accounts with an accumulated balance under $5000. There are no fees for withdrawals and no minimum amount that needs to be kept in the Acorns account. Acorns has more than 250,000 active users. As for the investment portfolio aspect of its services, the app allows its users to select the level of riskiness for their portfolios. Acorns automatically manages the funds, moving and balancing them through appropriate allocations across stocks, bonds, etc.
The company explains its investment methodology as follows:
ETF Selection: Acorns considers the size, liquidity, and expenses associated with each ETF (exchange-traded fund). These ETFs come from some of the world's largest asset managers: Vanguard, BlackRock, and PIMCO. Together, these ETFs hold thousands of stocks and bonds of various companies and industries.
Portfolio Selection: Acorns considers your financial situation before recommending a portfolio. Your age, time horizon, goals, income, and risk tolerance are all considered. You can choose a more or less aggressive portfolio than their recommendation and you're free to change it at any time.
Portfolio Construction: Diversified portfolios are constructed by considering various asset classes and the corresponding risk, return, correlations, and covariances. The optimal proportions of these asset classes are determined using Modern Portfolio Theory. ETFs represent asset classes in each portfolio.
The Acorns accounts are insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corp (SIPC) for up to $500,000. Acorns offers bank level security leveraging security support from McAfee and privacy verification by TRUSTe. Acorns uses 256-bit SSL encryption and employs multi-factor authentication for account safeguards.

Anderson Library
Hero Treatment
Serving both the Upper and Middle School, the Anderson Library is located next to Beard Hall and the colonnade. It houses more than 10,000 books, audiobooks, more than 400 DVDs, 20 newspaper and magazine subscriptions, more than 18,000 e-books, and more than 40 academic databases.
Research Across the Curriculum
The research process at Morristown-Beard School's Anderson Library addresses the research and information needs of a 21st-century learner. The head librarian works closely with faculty in all disciplines to create and develop engaging and informative research-based processes, with an emphasis on the importance of inquiry. Students also experience individualized, in-depth conferences with the head librarian that draw on both digital and print sources, from Morristown-Beard's holdings to a statewide consortium providing access to a wealth of university-level materials. Due to the ever-present and growing wealth of information students encounter, it is vital that our students learn the skills necessary to navigate this rich, but overwhelming world.
Information Literacy
Information literacy incorporates digital, visual, textual, and technological synthesis of information in an effort to expand students' knowledge and understanding of context. Research-based projects and assessments in all content areas aid students in questioning, finding, evaluating, selecting accurate, valid, appropriate information, based on need, importance, context, and diverse sources, with technology.
The Windows and Mirrors Approach
The library is an enthusiastic supporter and promoter of Morristown-Beard's reading period, a twice-weekly block of time dedicated to fostering a culture of reading within the MBS community. In accordance with recent research on the benefits of both independent choice and print reading, students are encouraged to read whatever they prefer, on the printed page. The fiction and leisure reading collection at the Anderson Library is carefully curated through a windows and mirrors approach. A well-rounded, empathetic student benefits both from books that mirror their experience and those that provide a window into the lives of others. Careful attention is paid to reflect the diverse experiences of all of our students and people beyond the walls of the school.
Libguides & Library Catalog
Your access to the library outside the library's walls, Libguides and our library catalog help students access the resources they need.
Two full-time librarians provide full services from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and the library is supervised by faculty/staff as a study center from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. weekdays.
We strive to provide a comfortable, scholarly atmosphere conducive to individual study, while also offering support and assistance for individual and group research. The Library staff is committed to providing students and faculty with an extensive information center for study, research, and relaxation.

The George Polk Awards are among the most prestigious in journalism, and have been presented by Long Island University since they were established in1948 to commemorate Polk, a CBS correspondent murdered while covering the Greek civil war. The winners were George Polk awards announced in a news release by LIU Sunday night. The awards will be presented April 10 at The Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan. Award Curator John Darnton said the judges considered 558 nominations from news organizations, individual journalists, and members of the award advisory panel. The awards place a premium on investigative and enterprising reporting that gains attention and achieves results, Darnton said. In presenting the award to the newspaper's staff, the judges praised the paper for "unearthing compelling evidence" linking the monstrous mudslide to lax enforcement by state regulators and pressures from logging interests. While issuing the award to the newspaper staff, judges cited two specific investigative stories: "State used outdated data to allow logging on slope," published March 30, 2014, and "Oso neighborhood never should have been built," which was published June 7, 2014. The stories were reported and written by Times' investigative reporters Mike Baker and Justin Mayo and former reporter Ken Armstrong.

Tiny Dew Bow
2 comments:
Hi Nick,ReplyDelete
Sometimes the small, quiet, unobtrusive phenomena can be just as beautiful and impressive as the large, complex "in your face" halo displays. We just have to stop and take the time to look. Interesting use of focus; sometimes we have to do what is counter-intuitive to obtain the desired result. The first image in particular is very "jewel like".
With regard to de-focussed images, it reminds me of a camera I used to have which did that automatically, lol!
Hello Alec,ReplyDelete
Thanks for commenting. I strongly believe that when you have understanding of nature, your eyes are opened. Most people would never care about a tiny spider web with some dew on it. They'd never know that there would be a rainbow on it! Before I knew about halos, I never saw them, but now I see hundreds!
I saw images of dewbows up close, where defocussing the image made the bow show up better, so I did. I tried to take a picture set on landscape to get it defocused, but the camera must've thought I was stupid and wouldn't let me take a picture, so I set it to manual focus. Cameras these days... :)

Hold the youngsters with your course decorate the little bins how they want and fasten over a modest indicator that names it "Mary's Container of Awful Attitudes." You can even make a list of items that should go on the bottom about the small box. Ask them to compose terrible behavior around the bits of construction pieces of paper and add more them to their package. Let them know that adding the mindset within the container is better than getting terrible behavior themselves.

Improvements implemented by big corporations are almost never aimed primarily at their customers, they are intended to increase shareholder value. So far the Austrian Federal Railways have not been privatized, but funnily enough it does not make a big difference whether the state or a bunch of rich, private individuals own a company; the principle stays the same.
When new trains were introduced a few years ago, they were given the fancy name "Railjet", and it took some time until most of the south-bound trains had been replaced.
Improvements? None. In fact I hate them. They have no compartments any more, not even in the business class. It's impossible to sleep, you can't turn off the lights, you always hear someone in the car making a phone call, people chatting, in other words there are only substantial drawbacks for the passengers. Of course not so for the railway company. The first thing that gets damaged in a railway car are the compartment doors. No doors, no damage, much money saved.
Anyway. Riding from Carinthia to Vienna, I am forced to use a Railjet, but the other way round I always use a train that still has compartments. The only problem is, this train comes from Hamburg via Berlin and Prague, therefore it is frequently late, and when it's late it is normally very late. See, that's the reason for all those railway station pictures 😄
The Song of the Day is "Passing The Time" from the classic Cream album "Wheels Of Fire". Hear it on YouTube.

Influencer Marketing has been garnering attention from corporate houses all across the globe. As reported by eMarketer, in 2017, about 50% of marketers increased the allocated budget for Influencer Marketing. If you are on the lookout for implementing this trending form of marketing to enhance business profitability but are clueless about where to begin from, worry not. Oh by the way, if you are not sure what is influencer marketing and why it is the new buzzword right now, have a look at his handmade sketch note.
This blog helps you identify the 6 critical things to keep in mind while working on your influencer marketing campaign.
6 Critical Things to Keep in Mind
1. Set Goals and KPIs
Before you commence working on your marketing campaign, have a vision of what you wish to achieve through it. Make a list of factors that you wish the campaign to contribute to and link them to your goals. Once you have set goals, attach relevant KPIs with them that would help serve as metrics in determining the success of the campaign after its launch. Sounds complicated, doesn't it? Let me explain using an example. If it is Brand Awareness that you wish to create through influencer marketing, monitor KPIs like an increase in the number of social media followers or growth in social media mentions. If you are thinking of targeting a boost in conversions, keep a track of enhanced sales through coupons given out by the influencer. Record the metrics before you launch the campaign and compare them with the results later. This will help you understand how successful your campaign has been.
2. Choose an Appropriate Social Media Platform
Once you have defined goals for your campaign, the next step is to choose a social media platform for its launch and subsequent run. Every social media platform has a specific style associated with it. Thus, while selecting a platform, keep in mind the audience that you wish to target. For instance, if you wish to reach out to the young population, Snapchat could be a good idea. If it is a universal audience you wish to target, Facebook could be of help. Also, take into consideration whether you wish the influencer to post a photograph or video or textual content. For photograph related posts, Instagram could be ideal, whereas, for videos, you could choose YouTube. For something that's more business oriented, maybe LinkedIn. You could even add outbound links leading to your own website through stories on Instagram or Snapchat.

3. Shortlist Influencer Profile
An influencer is one who has established credibility among specific market segments by virtue of expertise and authenticity and has the power to influence consumer buying decisions. Before you set out to find an influencer for your marketing campaign, be very certain of the kind of influencer that would benefit your business the most. While shortlisting an influencer profile for your campaign, keep in mind these 5 golden rules:
- Potential influencers must have good following of your target audience
- Their posts must be relevant to your product
- They must be active on the social media platform chosen by you
- They must have a style that goes well with that of your brand

4. Find Your Influencer
If you wish to manually search for your influencer, the most affordable way to go about it is to check on social media platforms. You may want to begin by using relevant keywords that could help you identify potential influencers. For example, if it is a newly opened gym you wish to market, search for pages on "fitness" on Facebook. If it is Instagram that you wish to run your campaign on, use hashtags to get desired results. For instance, if you wish to market your restaurant through influencers, use #FoodBlogger to search for popular people who write regularly about the food industry. You can even ask influencers to recommend other influencers. In fact, Instagram itself gives recommendations for other influencers when you follow one.
5. Connect with your Influencer
Once you have a list of brand influencers that you wish to work with ready, try and connect with them based on your priority. Reach out to them directly or use agencies to drive communication. However, we recommend that you make an attempt to know your influencers before trying to get in touch with them. Make sure you have all relevant details that could help you convince them as to how the proposed brand-influencer relationship would be mutually beneficial. Reach out to them through social media platforms or email. Express your interest to work in association with them and explain how the deal would benefit them.
Quick Tip: Instead of getting directly to the point, try and establish a friendly connection with the influencers first. Make them feel comfortable and only then share your business proposal with them.
6. Measure the Results
Once you launch your campaign through the influencer, track the progress that your business makes through it. This brings us back to point number 1 of our blog where we defined our KPIs. Map the growth made against the set KPIs and observe whether the results have been as expected. Check whether the number of followers for your page has increased or whether the volume of sales has gone up by a decent mark. Count the number of impressions you were able to create the influencer. Chances of disappointment should be scarce.
The above-mentioned tips should take you a long way in acing your Influencer Marketing campaign. Get ready to launch your own campaign and sit back to watch your business flourish.

On April 15, 30 students ran around the home of Tricia and Dave Hulet in search of hidden clues. Earlier that day, Tricia Hulet, director of TMC Theatre Arts, as well as assistant directors James Phillipps and Elisa Adams, had strategically taped quotes from the Spring 2016 show to inconspicuous areas in order for students to guess the upcoming production.
As some students searched, others worked on a crossword puzzle that revealed the fall 2015 play. Shouts from students with suggestions filled the air before the answer was revealed.
The fall play will be Crossing Delancey and in the spring, Fiddler on the Roof!
Crossing Delancey is set in modern day New York City and focuses on the relationship between and old woman and her granddaughter. The granddaughter's pursuit of an independent life leads her to forget what it means to have real relationships, especially with her grandmother. It also raises the issue of valuing station over character. Meanwhile, her grandmother is trying to set her up with the Central Park pickle man, adding a thread of comedy to the premise.
"I'm really excited to do something totally modern," Tricia Hulet said. "And I'm excited for the message of it because it's something that we think through; like you've got to prioritize doing your job well, but at what stake?"
This script calls for a cast of five.
"I am looking forward to the fact that it is different than anything we've ever done which is fun and it will allow for a lot of creativity," said Adams, the assistant director. "I think also the fact that it is smaller will make for a more intimate environment."
Fiddler on the Roof follows a Jewish community being persecuted by the government, juxtaposed against a family who must navigate through changing traditions.
"What does family mean? What do our belief's mean?" Tricia Hulet described the thematic questions presented. "With lots of fabulous music!"
"It's bigger and it's a classic and I think that it will excite a lot of the students on campus and people who haven't been as involved and want to participate" said Adams. "The scale is bigger production-wise, creativity-wise, acting-wise, musically, all of it… it's a challenge to take on, which is slightly daunting, but mostly exciting"
Both shows offer different ways for students to get involved. Aside from auditioning for the cast, students can gain experience in areas such as marketing, video production, graphic design, costuming, hair and makeup, props, set building, audio and light engineering and hospitality.
Tricia Hulet suggests that theatre involvement provides an opportunity to develop marketable skills that accent whatever field of study a student is pursuing.
"I think it helps round out your education … To be a part of something bigger than them, that's community driven, working towards a goal together that serves someone besides them. I think its good to be reminded that there are other things going on that are bigger than you," she said. "It's a huge ministry from our campus to our community, and that's a good thing to be a part of."
"We've got two shows that are vastly different in aesthetics and creative concepts, but are really tied together story-wise" said TMC freshman Steven Inabnit. "It's really exciting! I'm definitely going to be involved."
Information on auditioning for the fall production and applying for crew will be posted in August.

The N.Y. Times' Jeremy Peters dives into one of Steve Bannon's favorite books, "The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy — What the Cycles of History Tell Us About America's Next Rendezvous with Destiny," by amateur historians William Strauss and Neil Howe (first published 20 years ago, in 1997):
Bannon has great admiration for a provocative but disputed theory of history that argues that the United States is nearing a crisis that could be just as disruptive and catastrophic as the most seminal global turning points of the last 250 years. This prophecy ... makes the case that world events unfold in predictable cycles of roughly 80 years each.
In an interview with The Times, Mr. Bannon said, "Everything President Trump is doing — all of it — is to get ahead of or stop any potential crisis."
