Many people are passionate about the history of Denver, particularly as seen at some of its architecturally magnificent and enduring structures.
When you walk through LoDo, it's easy not only to see what was, but also what is. Several of Denver's great neighborhoods are thriving because of historic preservation. Most cities – Denver included – are full of architectural and decorative treasures that would be lost forever if not properly preserved.
Here's why you should be passionate, too. Repairing and maintaining the city's historic structures preserves Denver's history, increases property values and creates a vibrant downtown culture. It's also smart and sustainable to adapt and repurpose old buildings. Restoration is the ultimate green practice, reducing consumption of new resources, re-using existing structures and recycling materials.
We live in a transient society, so preserving our history through its structures helps to anchor us, providing a distinct sense of place for Denver's citizens and historical context for our children. Through our connections to a well-preserved past, we can appreciate the craftsmanship of a bygone era.
Many architects draw on historic buildings for inspiration in constructing new ones. As Mark Twain declared, there is no such thing as a new idea.
Boosting the economy
Historic preservation and restoration also fuels our economy. Historic-preservation projects have created nearly 35,000 jobs in Colorado, generating $2.5 billion in economic impact, according to The Economic Power of Heritage and Place, a 2011 report commissioned by The Colorado Historical Foundation. This includes 34,398 jobs, $843 million in household earnings, $6.5 million in business income taxes, $17.5 million in personal income taxes and $49.1 million in Colorado sales taxes.
The report also confirmed that property values for all areas examined increased at least twofold after receiving historic designation. If doubling property values doesn't contribute to a vibrant and economically healthy downtown, I don't know what does.
For 30 years, we have witnessed the transformation of Lower Downtown, which in the 1980s had a vacancy rate of nearly 40 percent and was peppered with foreclosed properties. In 1988, the city council passed the Lower Downtown Historic District ordinance, opening the door for widespread rehabilitation of the district's old structures, many of which had fallen into disrepair. Office, galleries, restaurants, bars and shops began inhabiting the newly restored spaces, and young residents began relocating to LoDo's converted warehouse lofts.
After receiving historic designation, housing stock in LoDo grew from 89 units to more than 600 within eight years, according to an article by Edward T. McMahon in Urbanland, titled "From Skid Row to LoDo." The last foreclosed property was sold to a private developer in 1993, and by 1995, the area was home to 55 restaurants and clubs, 30 art galleries and 650 residences.
A lure for tourists
Historic preservation also is a key driver behind tourism. In 2008, heritage tourism in Colorado generated $244 million in visitor spending. Heritage tourists are seeking places and activities that authentically represent the stories of the past.
"Colorado's heritage tourists rank the preservation of historic areas, historic towns, locally owned and unique shops, fairs or events, and cultural sites as the most important features that would make a place enjoyable to visit," according to the Colorado Historical Foundation report. Heritage tourists typically spend more money, are more likely than other visitors to come from out of state and stay longer than other tourists.
Properly preserving our historic structures also is the ultimate green practice. Proper renovation doesn't just rescue buildings of the past for present use; it ensures the longevity and structural integrity of the structure for years to come. In contrast, neglected maintenance or bad repairs can hasten a building's demise.
Razing a historic structure wastes energy, and any new structure built in its place likely would be far less energy-efficient. While drafty old buildings waste a lot of energy, restoring stone walls and mortar joints properly with compatible materials can make the buildings airtight so they can be heated and cooled as efficiently as new buildings. Steel and plastic – common new building materials – consume far more energy to produce than brick, plaster and concrete, the stuff of which historic buildings are constructed.
The unique, rehabilitated neighborhoods of Denver – Curtis Park, LoDo, Highlands, Platte Valley, to name a few – have created a thriving downtown full of culture and character. And the evidence proves it; caring for the historic structures properly benefits all who live, work and play in Denver.

Thompson: Teachers & Schools At The Mercy Of A Bell Curve
I have long warned about putting teachers and schools at the mercy of a bell curve. Now we see another bell curve as districts sacrifice both the most improving schools and the most promising individual teachers.
First, NY1's Lindsey Crist has a story Brooklyn School Earns City's Highest Grade, Along With Spot on DOE Overhaul List that describes a school that is being closed. Maxwell, the NYC high school with the fifth highest concentration of the city's at-risk students, moved from a grade of an "F" to an "A." The district still plans to dismiss half of the school's teachers. The "A" graded school in NYC is apparently being punished because Mayor Mike Bloomberg is angry with the union for opposing his test-driven policies.
The other end of the curve is illustrated in Bill Turque's Washington Post story 'Creative ... Motivated' and Fired, which recounts the firing of teacher, universally praised as outstanding, because of the value-added portion of her evaluation. The D.C. teacher was apparently a victim of her students' previous scores being inflated by the cheating scandal, which was encouraged by former chancellor Michelle Rhee's test score mania.
This year, we read about the victims in high-challenge schools. But we should be prepared for reports on the other end of the spectrum - great teachers being fired at great schools because a not-ready-for-prime-time statistical model can't control for student scores on the upper end of its bell curve.-JT (@drjohnthompson)

It sounds like autofs should come with it's own copy of the

St. Mark's Gospel is known as "the one that begins with a roar."
The other gospels begin quietly: a genealogy, a tale of a barren woman and her husband, a sublime introduction to the Word…
Not so St. Mark. Instead, St. John the Baptist leaps out of the first paragraph, crying, "Prepare the way of the Lord! Come and seek baptism in repentance, that your sins may be forgiven!"
Immediately after John, Jesus Christ appears. St. Mark does not call Jesus the "Son of Man"; he immediately tells us that Jesus is the "Son of God."
Throughout his account, St. Mark focuses on Jesus' divine power and mission. He relates countless miracles of healing. He tells of harrowing exorcisms, when the expelled demons scream that here is God's Holy One. He tells us of Jesus' power over creation, walking on water and calming storms. He recounts Jesus' preaching in words that reveal His divine authority and kingship.
St. Mark wants us to know very clearly that Jesus is the long-expected Messiah, the "Lion of the Tribe of Judah." He carries on John's work of announcing the Lord's coming and the need for repentance so that we can receive Him properly.
The lion has represented kingship since time immemorial due to its strength and ferocity, its fearlessness and golden majesty. St. Mark's Gospel is portrayed by this beast because the account emphasizes the kingship and power of Jesus, the Messiah—and don't forget the fierce cries of St. John the Baptist.
St. Mark's account is full of wisdom for us moderns, and The Man Who Left His Mark: How Mark's Gospel Answers Modern Questions makes it easy to tap into his gospel's riches. Answering 252 perplexing contemporary questions, this fascinating book—by the ever-popular Dr. Peter Kreeft—answers each one directly from St. Mark's pithy work. On life, death, suffering, love, and everything in between, you'll apply this unique account of Jesus' life to your own experiences in a new and deeper way. Get your copy today!

Spaghetti code is a term used to describe a software program that has a complex and tangled control structure, making it difficult to understand and modify.
How do spaghetti codes work?
A spaghetti code is a term used to describe a program that is poorly structured and difficult to understand. The term is often used to describe programs written in languages such as C and assembly language.
The term "spaghetti code" is often used to describe programs that are written in a hurry, without much planning or forethought. This can lead to code that is difficult to read and understand, and hard to maintain.
Spaghetti code can also be caused by developers adding new features to an existing code base without properly refactoring the code. This can lead to a code base that is a mess of interconnected code, making it hard to understand how the program works as a whole.
There are a few ways to avoid spaghetti code. One is to use a programming language that encourages good code structure, such as Java or Python. Another is to take the time to plan out the code before starting to write it. This can help to avoid adding features that don't fit well into the existing code structure. Finally, regular refactoring can help to keep the code clean and understandable. What does pasta mean in code? In computer programming, pasta is a code word for a string of characters or data. It is often used to refer to a block of text, such as a paragraph, or a code snippet.
How do you not write code in spaghetti?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best way to avoid writing code in spaghetti depends on the individual programmer's preferences and coding style. However, there are some general tips that can help to avoid writing code in spaghetti:
- Break the code down into smaller, more manageable pieces. This will make it easier to spot errors and to make changes to the code without affecting the rest of the program.
- Use clear and consistent naming conventions for variables and functions. This will make the code easier to read and understand.
- Add comments to the code to explain what it is doing. This will again make the code easier to read and understand, and will also help when making changes to the code.
- Use a consistent coding style throughout the program. This will make the code more readable and easier to understand.
What is spaghetti code Java?
Spaghetti code is a term often used to describe code that is poorly structured and difficult to read and maintain. It can be caused by a number of things, such as a lack of planning, bad coding practices, or a rushed development cycle. Spaghetti code can make a program difficult to understand and debug, and can lead to maintenance issues down the road.
There are a few ways to avoid spaghetti code. First, make sure to plan your code before you start writing it. This means taking the time to think about the overall structure of the code and how the various pieces will fit together. Second, use clear and consistent coding conventions. This will make your code easier to read and understand, and will help to prevent errors. Finally, don't be afraid to refactor your code as needed. This means breaking up long methods into smaller ones, extracting common functionality into separate methods or classes, and so on. By taking these steps, you can help to ensure that your code is clean, well-organized, and easy to maintain.
What is ravioli code? Ravioli code is a term used to describe code that is needlessly complex and difficult to understand. It is often the result of poorly written or poorly designed code. Ravioli code can be difficult to maintain and debug, and can often lead to software errors and crashes.

Employing weak interactions to engineer band structures in graphene
Researchers are putting great efforts into developing techniques to integrate graphene into nanoelectronic devices. Unfortunately, graphene has no band gap - a critical prerequisite for transistors - which essentially restricts its wider applications in nanoelectronics. Among the various techniques developed toward introducing a bandgap in graphene, hydrogenation or fluorination can efficiently solve this problem as they can open a considerable energy gap in the band structure of graphene. However, the experimentally realized fully hydrogenated and fluorinated graphene - namely graphane and fluorographene, respectively - both have a very large energy gap, which constrains their applications in electronics. Thus at present an urgent task is to find a feasible way which could reduce the energy gap of graphane or fluorographene into a desirable range. In new work, researchers have now demonstrated theoretically, using density functional theory computations, that graphane and fluorographene can be paired together through the C-H���F-C hydrogen bonds.

The Rising Popularity Of White Alcoholic Drinks Among The New Generation
The world of alcoholic beverages is seeing a marked shift. There is nothing good or bad about this change but it's a change nevertheless. More and more people are showing a shift of focus from their regular choice of drinks to others especially the white alcoholic spirits. There is a surge in the market demand for Gin and Vodka that constitutes the major portion of this new trend. If you look up www.brandbuffet.in.th/2021/11/tangueray-gin-vs-vodka/ it will be clear that both Vodka and Gin has earned a lot of popularity in the recent years with both new and first time consumers to those who are already regulars.
Is Vodka And Gin Similar In Taste
There is a distinct taste that both Vodka and Gin has and they have their own group of consumers who enjoy this taste. For instance Vodka is a clear white drink that is devoid of any characteristic flavours of aroma. This is enjoyed by consumers in the form of various cocktail mixes with other drinks or even neat; served chilled with ice and sometimes with lime juice or even orange juice as well (the Screwdriver). Gin on the other hand comes with a lot of flavoursome offering with a mix of citrusy and herbal notes. Herbs like Juniper and Liquorice along with heavy citrusy orangey flavours make a very pleasant drink. For those who have enjoyed both the drinks have no confusion that Vodka and Gin, though both are clear white spirits, do not have anything in common when it comes to taste and flavour.
How Is Gin Becoming More Popular These Days
There is a large section of drinkers who enjoy a light casual drink often; they are not always into the intense heavy drinks that are often complicated to understand and choose from. Gin gives such people an easy option. It's light on the nose and the mouth, gives a full bodied punch when it comes to aroma and flavour in the most pleasant manner making it easily a popular choice. This is also very popular among ladies who appreciate the zero calorie drink.

There's something for everything
Sun block for a chapped lip,
Polish for a plastic shoe
Candy flavors in the coffee cream
Almond joy, vanilla bean,
Cameras on your car to park it
You're never left in a lurch.
At the boardwalk
A sandled man
Gave me a pamphlet to raise my spirit
From the dirty hell in which he said it must be dwelling.
He spoke of God, said you can hear it,
If you can only stop speaking for a while,
If you could only listen.
I took the pamphlet,
Then bought an ice cream
And sat and read a bit
Of the pamphlet,
Atop a stairset,
Below a long sky,
Alongside the thin-sanded beach.
The water crashing,
Waves bursting over
Surfers, swimmers, kiddies, and old folk alike.
The soul-instruction manual was boring,
But I kept reading.
The more mundane the religious experience,
The closer to God you become,
Isn't that how it goes?

Helroth – 'Wataha' (EP 2013)
Rating: 7/10
Release: 30 September 2013
Label: Independent
Helroth was founded by ex Vecordia member who wanted to put more power in the music. They have released an EP already, called 'Wataha'.
The band makes a nice blend of all kind of well-know folk-metal elements. No, not the 'alcoholic'-kind, but all kind of other elements are used. The first track Prząśniczka for instance, starts with a nice Polish female choir, after which a nice clear male voice joins in. Then we get very nice flute, but I have to say, it sounds a bit messy when it joins in. This is not caused by the flute itself, but is little failure in the mix-process. The female choir comes back all the time, but is not of the usual traditional Slavic kind, but much more withheld and demure. This is a very nice contrast with the sudden male metal-screams.
This track is followed by 972, another nice composition. The music had indeed become more power in Helroth. The pounding drums and solid guitars lay down a nice sound on which the violin, but the flute in particular weave a nice Polish pattern.
The traditional female vocals strike me again in Silitian Tale, very nice this combination of vocals.
After this we get two more nice songs at this EP.
Nice choice of these musicians to follow this road of their own choice. The music of Helroth is indeed very nice. I really enjoyed this EP, which is a fierce mix of metal, flute and violin, male clean vocals and metal-scream, but the distinctive factor are the female vocals. They aren't done in the merry folk-style, but much more withdrawn and this gives Helroth a very nice sound of their own. Nice EP to start with, there are some flaws in the mixing and production of this album. But it's very promising!

Reality behind Fake letters of AAP
A letter came to light in which below wording is written:
Mr. Kejriwal ji,
As u know before, the internal survey of our party was not sufficient to make our Government in Punjab. We are loosing Punjab elections. Punjab congress strongly cashed 69 seats and continues progress on 11 more seats. We are winning from Akali dal , but not from Congress. We bypass Akali Dal in Punjab election as per these surveys, but there was no surety for upcoming days. On that situation, my advice is that you are decreased your public meetings in Punjab and go outside Punjab till elections.
We will give all work of elections to local Punjabi leaders. This is a good idea to say Punjabis that Arvind Kejriwal was not interested to become CM of Punjab. The second thing is that if we are failed to become Government in Punjab so we make your distance from this election results. This is necessary for upcoming 2017 elections. This letter is written from Aam Aadmi Party's Punjab incharge Sanjay Singh. His name and stamp both are mentioned on this letter. Letter was also written on the letterpad of AAP.
This letter is going to viral on social media from last two days. AAP says that this letter is fake. Our opposite parties were going to show that we are losers, but situation is opposite from it. We are going to win with a big lead. People of Punjab want change in system. We are going to change this system. This is a main reason that Punjabis vote for us and we make a corruption free Government.
AAP register their complaint to election Commission. AAP give a written complaint that some people are sending fake notices on fake letterhead to social media. AAP says that we want this investigation should be done by DGP Punjab.

The Portland school department is working to fix payroll problems resulting in staff not being paid on time or getting incorrect amounts, and it might not have a long-term solution in place until next fall, Superintendent Xavier Botana said in an email to district staff on Wednesday.
"I understand that the payroll issues have caused a significant amount of frustration and angst for many of our employees and I want to apologize for that. We are dedicating additional resources to resolve these issues as quickly as possible," Botana wrote.
"To address these issues long term, PPS is working with a vendor to outsource our payroll functions," he wrote. "While this transition will take time to implement, we anticipate having this fully operational by the start of the 2023-24 school year."
Botana said the district is working with a software company to address some of the immediate issues but did not say when they might be solved. He also did not explain why the transition to a payroll processing company is not scheduled for completion until next school year. The district has been working to transition to a processing company since the spring.
Botana did not respond to requests from the Portland Press Herald for an interview about the district's payroll issues.
The email follows multiple consecutive pay periods in which the district failed to correctly pay some of its staff – including all of the district's ed techs. On Oct. 18, the district's ed techs and the Portland Public School Board of Education agreed to a three-year contract including a retroactive 3 percent raise for the 2021-22 school year, the first year of the contract, and a 2 percent raise this school year. The ed techs have yet to receive those raises or their retroactive pay. Botana said the district plans to remedy those issues by winter break, which begins on Dec. 23.
Botana also said the district is continuing to resolve other payroll issues.
"Payroll has created a priority queue for resolving all issues, with a focus on ensuring all employees' primary wages are paid in a timely manner," he said. It is not clear what he means by a "timely manner," but Botana said the district plans to have co-curricular and stipend payments issued appropriately by Dec. 2.
It is unclear how many staff have been impacted, but some have said they've been unable to buy food or pay their rent and are facing credit card interest and bank overdraft fees.
"It's disgusting that we work our butts off to just be put on the back burner like this," said Julie Reali, a second-year ed tech who works in a Lincoln Middle School special education program. Reali, who has been an educator for 20 years, said she doesn't know exactly how much retroactive pay she is slated to receive, but that regardless of the amount it would have helped her out around the holidays. Reali makes $25 per hour.
Botana said the payroll challenges stem from staffing issues that left the district without payroll staff in early October. "A lack of employee training and clear understanding of our payroll processes, a payroll system that was not fully built-out as well as gaps in process documentation have made it difficult for others to step in and support the payroll department."
One of the district's payroll staff went on medical leave in October and other payroll staff left in the summer, according to the email. Botana did not say why the staff left or why they weren't replaced before the start of the school year.
The district is also facing an issue with its paid leave accrual system. Botana did not elaborate but said that when the issue is resolved, staff will retroactively receive their accrued vacation time.
Botana did not say what, if anything, the district is doing to support its staff facing detrimental financial impacts from the payroll issues in the near-term.
In a joint statement last week, the respective presidents for the Portland Education Association and the Portland Education Association for Educational Technicians, Kerrie Dowdy and Jennifer Cooper, and the Maine Education Association responded to the district's payroll issues, asking for increased transparency and announcing that they planned to work with a lawyer to manage any pay discrepancies and expenses shouldered by staff as a result of the district's payroll issues.
"The Maine Education Association will do what is necessary to support our members and ensure they receive all the pay they have earned, in addition to receiving compensation for any fees they may have incurred due to this issue," MEA President Grace Leavitt said.
Neither Dowdy, Cooper nor the MEA could be reached Wednesday to respond to Botana's email.

Is there evidence of a growing gender divide in British politics?
The 2019 general election saw the largest difference between men and women in support for the two main parties for more than fifty years. Women were nearly eight percentage points more supportive of Labour than men, and men were around five percentage points more supportive of the Conservatives than women.
Figure 1 shows the gradual realignment of this gender gap over time, illustrating that these gaps were not only large in 2017 and 2019, but they had reversed in direction compared to most of the post-war period, with women now more likely to vote Labour and men now more likely to vote Conservative.
This shift in the gender vote gap has been particularly marked amongst younger age groups. In 2019, women under the age of 35 were 13 percentage points more supportive of Labour than men under 35, but there was very little difference in Labour support between men and women aged over 65. Similarly, women under the age of 35 were eight percentage points less likely to vote Conservative than younger men; women over 65 were four percentage points more likely to vote Conservative than older men.
The realignment of the 'gender gap' is closely entwined with two key political developments over the last decade: austerity and Brexit. The seeds were sown in the 2015 election, when younger women's concerns over the cost of living, their household finances, and the NHS led them to vote Labour in higher numbers. Consequently, this was first election in the post-war period when women were (slightly) more supportive of Labour than men.
At the same time, despite the Conservatives' pledge to hold a referendum on EU membership, UKIP gained ground amongst (older) men. Older women were less likely to support UKIP, and more likely to stick with the Conservatives, because they felt less strongly about the EU as an issue and because they held less favourable views of Nigel Farage.
The cost of living, economic and financial concerns again meant younger women were particularly supportive of Labour in 2017. By contrast, without the effect of UKIP, men were on average more supportive of the Conservatives. Political competition over austerity was therefore key to understanding the gender gaps in 2017. By 2019, however, Brexit was by far and away the most salient electoral issue, and this resulted in party support being even more divided by gender.
Younger women were particularly unlikely to support Brexit in the 2016 referendum. At the time of the 2019 election, women – especially younger women – were more supportive of a second referendum and less supportive of leaving the EU without a deal than younger men and older voters. These differences in attitudes towards Brexit were strongly associated with younger women again being more likely to vote Labour in 2019.
The realignment of the gender gap is thus related to political competition over economic concerns and Brexit. Importantly, three successive Conservative Party leaders (Cameron, May, and Johnson) have failed to persuade younger women in particular to support the party, indicating the gender gap goes beyond a 'Boris Johnson' effect.
How important is gender likely to be at the next election?
What does this mean for the next election? The age component of the new gender gap is important. In 2015, women under 35 were particularly supportive of Labour, but this reversed for older age groups. In 2017 and 2019, the gender gap in Labour support was present for all age groups under 60 and 70 respectively, although it was still much wider for those under 35. This suggests Labour is consolidating its support amongst women and is no longer appealing only to younger women.
This is likely because, although opposition to Brexit is strongest amongst younger women, women across all ages are more ambivalent towards Brexit than men. Current polling suggests that Labour continues to enjoy an advantage amongst women. At the time of writing, an average of the last five polls from YouGov give Labour a seven-point lead over the Conservatives among women, whereas men are more evenly split between the two main parties.
This does not necessarily suggest that Labour will continue with a strong advantage amongst women into the next election. The close association between recent gender gaps and the issues of austerity and Brexit raises questions about what might happen should these cease to be dominant election issues. The recent gaps appear highly context-specific, rooted in electoral competitions over salient issues on which men and women differ in their experiences and preferences.
However, if the next election is fought on questions surrounding pandemic response and recovery, and especially if there are meaningful differences between the parties on these issues, gender gaps in party support may well continue. Women tend to prioritise health as an issue to a greater extent than men. Although men have had higher mortality rates than women, women have been particularly vulnerable to some of the social and economic consequences of the pandemic.
Women are more likely to be employed in sectors that have been badly affected such as healthcare, education, and hospitality, to be furloughed, to work on insecure contracts (especially BAME women), and to take furlough or redundancy to meet childcare demands.
It is also notable that the gender pay gap increased in 2021 compared to 2020, although it remains smaller than in 2019.
These developments suggest that the female electorate – especially workforce-age and BME women, and mothers – could go into the next election feeling particularly economically vulnerable and concerned about their financial security, as they were in 2015 and 2017.
In this context, the emergence of a significant gender vote gap depends on whether the parties respond to these concerns in different ways. Given Labour has usually been more willing to make the spending commitments this requires, we might expect a 'pandemic' election to continue to consolidate the gendered voting patterns observed in 2017 and 2019.
By Rosalind Shorrocks, Lecturer in Politics at the University of Manchester. This piece on the gender divide in British politics was originally part of the report 'British Politics after Brexit'.

You have a lot of movies you want to download, but you have already reached that day's limit, what would you do? Do you wait until 5:00 a.m. Japan time when the daily download limit is reset? You don't have to.
There is a system called J-Points that is useful at such times. J-Points are points that can only be used in TokyoHot .
For example, if you download three movies, 1.5GB, 1.3GB, and 2.1GB, as shown in the graph above, the total usage is 4.9GB. You may not find a movie at 1.1 GB that you desire. So what do you do?
For example, your daily download limit is 6GB. Your downloaded 3 movies, 4.9 GB total. Your remaining downloadable capacity is 1.1GB.
You want to download a fourth video that is 1.8GB. By adding 0.7GB worth of J-Points (700P) to 1.1GB, you will be able to download the fourth 1.8GB movie!
J-Points can be used not only when you don't have enough GB left but also when you want to download more movies and you want to avoid having GB left over. Or your DL limit has been reached and you do not want to wait for the daily limit re-set.
The download limits are set at 6GB, 8GB, 12GB, etc. depending on the plan you choose. However, movie files sizes are different, such as 1.45GB or 5.647GB, so it may not always be possible to make good use of the download capacity for a particular day, right?
You want to download the movie and it's size is 1.445GB, but 1.314GB are left as shown in the image above. Such a waste not use this capacity to the maximum! J-Points can eliminate such a wasteful feeling and frustration.
When downloading a movie, it is also possible to choose whether to download the missing download capacity using J-Points or not. The movie you want to download as shown in the image above is 1.445GB, while the downloadable amount left for this day is 1.314GB. If you decide to download the movie by using 131 J-Points (0.131GB), check the check box and click the download button. Then download will start.
Be assured that no J-Points are used if the check box is clicked as long as you haven't exceeded the daily limit
You can check and add J-Points on My Page after logging in. However, if you do not create a J-Point account, you will not be able to purchase J-Points, so it is recommended that you also create a J-Points account when you join Tokyo Hot JAV.
J-Points can be added and managed from My Page after logging in!
J Points can be earned in addition to purchasing from My Page. If you participate in an occasional event, you will also have a chance to earn J-Points, so please join us at the event. The event will be announced in the e-mail magazine and the top page of the TOKYO HOT JAV site as shown in the image below, so let's not forget to check it out! In addition, the longer you continue your membership, there is a benefit that J-Points are accumulated, so the longer you are a member, the more you earn free J-Points!
Note: This service is only available for those who use JSKYPRO payment. If you are using JSKY Payment, we will give you a 10% extension reward instead of J-Points
Please note that your J-Points account is separate from your TokyoHot account. To create a J-Points account, please register from "If you do not have a J-Points account" on My Page after logging in. Just click "Create a J-Points account (free of charge)".

Hello, I have a network with a variety of switches that feed back to a Ubiquiti Agg Switch. From the Aggregation switch, I'd like to run an LACP trunk - 4 x 1GB connection to my 200E. I'd like to use the fortigate (rather than a true layer 3 switch) for routing and to improve security between network segments and subnets. I'd then create virtual interfaces on the fortigate under the LACP connection for the 10 vlans that I use and have identified in my unifi controller. So my 200E would essentially have one WAN connection, one management connection and 4 cables in a LACP trunk to handle vlan traffic from the Aggregation switch. Am I thinking about this correctly and is this a good way to design this?
I don't know anything about Ubiquity switches. But for FGT design, it should be doable. We do similar set up with Juniper and Cisco switches/routers for more than 10-20 vlans on LACP interfaces.

In a prolonged interview with the LA Instances, Invoice Hader, Sarah Goldberg, and Anthony Carrigan sat down to debate the ultimate season of "Barry," particularly Hank and Cristobal's surprising scene from Episode 4.
In accordance with Carrigan, confronted with Cristobal's reluctance to undergo together with his plan, Hank's most important precedence boiled all the way down to a necessity for "safety". As he places it, "After virtually being mutilated final season, virtually having the love of his life taken away from him, security turns into the #1 precedence. However then getting what he actually at all times needed is collide with this and set course for catastrophe." Calling it "superior fucking writing," Goldberg echoes his co-star's ideas and describes how, in terms of Hank, "You assume you recognize someone, however no person actually is aware of what they're able to, relying on what the stakes are. You do not know how you are going to behave in sure conditions.
The actual-money quote is from Hader, detailing the fragile steadiness between writing what the viewers needs and what the characters really want:
"You are at all times making an attempt to write down what's sincere to those characters, versus fan service. I did fan service, and the present instantly spits it out. We did one thing, I can not say what what it's, within the finale; I wrote it and Sarah mentioned, "Why are we filming?" However that is good; I hope you create an surroundings the place individuals can come as much as you and say: "It stinks.""
The "Contained in the Episode" featurettes included on the finish of a number of episodes reinforce Hader's ideas right here, the place he regularly reveals insights into his characters' continued journeys to the bitter finish.

In preparation for the Max Soviak National CMP Rimfire Sporter Match the following day, 41 competitors took advantage of live fire position training at the CMP Sports Competition Clinic on Friday, July 7 at Camp Perry's Viale Range.
The party was named for Max Soviak, a US Marine Corpsman from Berlin Heights, Ohio, who was killed by a suicide bomber while helping evacuees in Kabul, Afghanistan. This year, the CMP paid tribute to Max's service, sacrifice and memory by naming the annual CMP Rimfire Sporter Match in his honor.
Clinic attendees had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the rim range one day before the game and had plenty of time and ammunition to go over prone, seated, and standing positions, shooting in slow and rapid fire stages at 50 and 25 yards.
The CMP handed out 50 rounds of ammunition to all the participants and loaner sporter rifles to those who needed them for the clinic. Attendees who brought extra ammo used the extra rounds to polish up their practice session. The live fire class was held in two relays, so families and friends were able to share equipment.
Brian Young, 43, of Wattsburg, PA, and his son, Gunnar, 13, enjoyed some family time at the shooting range and used the clinic as a warm-up for Saturday's game. On game day, Brian shot the match in the open sights class and Gunnar trailed by just seven points, shooting in the telescopic class. Like other families at the shooting range both days, the match provided an opportunity to enjoy the sport in a family environment.

Onto the next release of the weeekend and I finished watching the new Hindi film Kathal which is now streaming on Netflix. One of the reasons why I was looking forward to the film was because it did star Sanya Malhotra whose choices have always been interesting. In times of actors cautiously opting for 'safer' commercial ventures, here is an actor that has slowly but surely carved her own niche and has excelled in each of her performance previously. And I expected nothing short of excellent from her in Kathal.
Kathal, as unusual as the name may sound for a film, did give me an impression that this would be a delicious satire in more ways than one. The thing with Hindi films is that satires are a rarity especially due to the times that we live in. If a film especially in the Hindi speaking belt, has to be a satire then its writing has to be sharp by almost playing out the politics of the situation in the second layer. And so a fine line needs to be treaded to balance the humour with the seriousness of the situation. And in that regard, Kathal did give me hope. So then does Kathal manage to impress, lets find out.
Story & Screenplay
Kathal follows the story of a group of cops who have been assigned a task of investigating the disappearance of jackfruits from the bunglow of a local politician. The seriousness of the story here does lie in its trivial conflict and that is what makes Kathal special. It is a sharp commentary on various issues veiled as a trivial and frivilous comedy and for that writers deserve credit straight up. The screenplay here standing at a shade under 2 hours does make for a hilarious watch with several references to a buffet of social evils and disparities.
The drama does begin with the introduction of the protagonist who is shown to be a fearless cop. Unfortunately for her(and her team), she is assigned a trivial case of the disappearance of jackfruits from a local politician's bunglow. In the midst of this trivial conflict, the writers do ask pertinent questions via some of the characters. Despite there being a plethora of cases to solve, the police are tasked with solving a trivial case is a satire in itself. Yet, the writing does not get bogged down by addressing this particular issues. There are hints thrown in of other issues related to patriarchy(with the husband of a cop wanting his 'wife' to come home to cook a meal for his guests), or caste differentiation(with a couple of characters belonging to different castes having to fight their own little personal battles), or the plight of the cops who have to sacrifice their personal lives in order to carry out their duties.
The proceedings are entertaining and hilarious with the help of some sharp writing. There are hints thrown in throughout the narrative that eventually act as crucial plot points. But at no stage do the writers lose focus of the main plot while addressing other issues. In a sort of a parallel track, a poor man visiting a local police station to file a complaint of the disappearance of his daughter, is sent off home(as the cops as busy with the jackfruit mystery), thus further enunciating the satire. Yet, this plot point is nicely weaved into the narrative where the second hour has a lot of purpose attached to it.
If I had to minutely criticize the writing then it would be for the plot threatening to get convoluted in the middle as opposed to the simple premise which it had. Yet, the writers do control the proceedings and get the screenplay back on track almost immediately. One distincg credit should be for the writers maintaining the tone of the drama pretty well. They did not get carried away or try something drastically different. The tone was light and frothy with a hint of seriousness to it. The events created thus are funny and they do evoke laughter. A subtle take on the media in a subplot does add purpose to the drama as well. The events leading up to the final act are enthralling and they set up things really well for the final act. And the grand reveal behind the jackfruit mystery does turn out to be hilarious as well. Overall, the writing is sharp and makes for a textured and layered watch if you are willing to read between the lines.
Dialogues, Music & Direction
The dialogues are quirky and make for a hilarious impact. The music and the BGM exude of raw notes which is synonymous of the rustic bylanes of the area where the drama is set in. The cinematography does capture the vibe of the drama pretty well. The editing is sharp for most parts of the film. Director Yashowardhan Mishra does handle this subtle social satire with a lot of honesty. The proceedings are well handled and that does make for a good watch, much of which can be attributed to some good direction.
The performances are pretty good here. Brijendra Kala is hilarious in his respective role as is Raghubir Yadav as Gulab Seth. Apoorva Chaturvedi as Amiya is pretty good. Gurpal Singh as Angrez Singh is absolutely effortless as always in his role and he does cater to laughs and chuckles. Rajpal Yadav has a comic timing to savour and cherish and he is absolutely smashing as Anuj. Vijay Raaz as the local politician is pitch perfect with his expressions and he will tickle your funny bone with his performance. Govind Pandey as Mishra is aptly cast in a job well done(and I genuinely feel sorry for his car🤣). Neha Saraf as Kunti is phenomenal to watch and she does a great job. Anant Joshi as Saurabh is sincere and he does have a good presence onscreen. And it is Sanya Malhotra who yet again shines as Inspector Mahima. She is slightly playful to begin with but as the drama progresses, she continues to add different dimensions to her character. There is a sense of charm to her character and she does a brilliant job here!
Kathal is a delicious social satire on jackfruits and more that makes for a hilarious watch if you are willing to read between the lines. Available on Netflix and Highly Recommended!

From The Atlantic, How American Politics Went Insane by Jonathan Rauch
Moreover, recent research by the political scientists Jamie L. Carson and Jason M. Roberts finds that party leaders of yore did a better job of encouraging qualified mainstream candidates to challenge incumbents. "In congressional districts across the country, party leaders were able to carefully select candidates who would contribute to the collective good of the ticket," Carson and Roberts write in their 2013 book, Ambition, Competition, and Electoral Reform: The Politics of Congressional Elections Across Time. "This led to a plentiful supply of quality candidates willing to enter races, since the potential costs of running and losing were largely underwritten by the party organization." The switch to direct primaries, in which contenders generally self-recruit and succeed or fail on their own account, has produced more oddball and extreme challengers and thereby made general elections less competitive. "A series of reforms that were intended to create more open and less 'insider' dominated elections actually produced more entrenched politicians," Carson and Roberts write. The paradoxical result is that members of Congress today are simultaneously less responsive to mainstream interests and harder to dislodge.
Was the switch to direct public nomination a net benefit or drawback? The answer to that question is subjective. But one effect is not in doubt: Institutionalists have less power than ever before to protect loyalists who play well with other politicians, or who take a tough congressional vote for the team, or who dare to cross single-issue voters and interests; and they have little capacity to fend off insurgents who owe nothing to anybody. Walled safely inside their gerrymandered districts, incumbents are insulated from general-election challenges that might pull them toward the political center, but they are perpetually vulnerable to primary challenges from extremists who pull them toward the fringes. Everyone worries about being the next Eric Cantor, the Republican House majority leader who, in a shocking upset, lost to an unknown Tea Partier in his 2014 primary. Legislators are scared of voting for anything that might increase the odds of a primary challenge, which is one reason it is so hard to raise the debt limit or pass a budget.

Weber, a leading outdoor grilling brand, saw its stock jump 30% after major shareholder BDT Capital Partners, the Chicago-based investment firm and merchant bank founded and led by Byron Trott, offered to buy the remainder of shares it doesn't already own. According to a 13D filing the company has a stake of 88.9% in WEBR and offers $6.25/share in cash which represents a 24% premium to Weber's closing price on Monday. Well down from the August 2021 IPO price of $14 in very short order.
Earnings have been hammered with inflation eroding consumers' purchasing power, a disrupted supply chain environment. Since 2010, it's been majority owned by BDT Capital Partners.
Stock Market Reaction
- WEBR trades $6.55 +1.52 (+30.22%) today after bid
- WEBR -10.58 (-61.76%) the past year
Weber Struggles
Weber since its IPO has seen multiple flameouts. CEO Chris Scherzinger departed, downbeat earnings, dividend suspension, and workforce reductions.
Inflation eroded consumers' purchasing power, shoppers frequenting retailers less often and are likely reducing the frequency at which they upgrade their grill. Meanwhile globally the US dollar is hurting, which broke parity with the Euro, hit all-time highs against the pound, 32-year highs against the Yen and 14-year highs against the yuan. The Weber grill got more expensive very fast. The heightened volatility led to management withdrawing net sales and EBITDA outlooks.
WEBR is also facing include "substantial" freight cost increases. The disrupted supply chain environment was a primary factor in its collapse in EBITDA yr/yr. During the company's Q2 earnings call in mid-May, it expected pricing actions implemented last year, which were fully accepted, would help gross margins improve over the next "several quarters." What happened was WEBR reached a tipping point where higher prices are starting to deter possible buyers and the stock collapsed.
WEBR suspended its quarterly dividend, which produced an annual yield of around 2.7%. That caused more sellers, and short sellers. It was reported the stock had a 46% short position on it when the takeover was announced Monday.
Competing grill maker Trager (COOK), which sells wood-fired grills, signaled that the grilling industry was struggling with its planned workforce reductions announced last earnings. Both WEBR and COOK have relatively high short interests of 46% and 12%, respectively, highlighting the market's negative sentiment toward grill makers.
BBQGuys got even later than WEBR to the party. The e-commerce platform for grills backed by retired American football stars Eli and Peyton Manning, agreed to go public through blank-check firm Velocity Acquisition Corp. in a transaction that valued the combined entity at $963 million. BVG as of writing has yet to exit any of its investments; plans to take BBQGuys public via SPAC were scrapped late last year due to supply chain issues and broad market conditions.
Weber IPO Recap
Weber, a leading outdoor grilling brand showed that timing is everything in an IPO, particularly in a niche market. Weber Inc. reinforced those limits, in this case the limits of barbecue grill makers going public. Weber fared worse in its IPO than Rival Traeger Inc. (COOK), which raised $424 million in its listing in July.
Weber's shares listed on the NYSE under the symbol WEBR and began trading Thursday August 5, 2021, on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol WEBR. Weber cut the size of its initial public offering by more than half and priced it below a marketed range to raise $250 million. The company sold slightly less than 18 million shares for $14 each. Weber had marketed almost 47 million shares for $15 to $17, which would have raised as much as $797 million. The company offered 29 million fewer shares than anticipated.
Goldman Sachs, BofA Securities, J.P. Morgan, BMO Capital Markets, Citi, UBS Investment Bank, Wells Fargo Securities, and KeyBanc Capital Markets acted as joint bookrunners on the deal.
The company had a market value of less than $4 billion based on the outstanding shares listed in its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Trott and BDT Capital Partners, as well as Weber's management, are listed in the filing as being among its biggest shareholders. The company plans to use the IPO proceeds to buy back shares from its holding company and from some existing shareholders.
Heading into the IPO Weber reported $963 million in sales in the six months through March 2021, a jump of more than 60% from the same period last year. Its net income rose to $73.8 million from $23.6 million over the same period.
