Accidental suffocation is the leading cause of death for children under one year of age according to the Florida Department of Health. In 2018, the Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County, Florida, utilizing data from the medical examiner's office, found that over one hundred infants had died due to sleep-related suffocation during a period of ten years. The infants were otherwise healthy at the time of death, which led the Juvenile Welfare Board to conclude that these deaths were preventable.
Their realization led to the formation of the "Sleep Baby Safely" campaign, which seeks to educate parents, caregivers, and other citizens about how to prevent accidental infant deaths due to suffocation. According to April Putzulu, a senior Board manager, infant deaths have reduced by half in Pinellas County since the launch of the campaign.
Florida is now expanding the campaign to include eight more Florida counties, including Miami-Dade, with funds being allocated from the Florida Department of Health's budget to prevent death in children.
How To Keep Infants Safe While Sleeping
The Sleep Baby Safely campaign recommends caregivers follow the "Safe Sleep ABCs". The acronym helps caregivers to remember the following words: Alone, Back, and Crib.
- Alone: infants should sleep alone.
- Back: infants should always be laid down on their backs with their heads and bellies facing up.
- Crib: infants should sleep in an empty crib, bassinet, or Pack n' Play
The campaign also recommends adults share a room with a small child, but not a bed. Additionally, an infant's mattress should be firm to further prevent suffocation. Often adult beds, air mattresses, and sofas are too soft and increase the risk of child suffocation. A caregiver should also set alarms during feeding time to ensure they do not fall asleep with an infant in a chair, sofa, or other location. An infant should always be returned to their crib or bassinet.
Pledge to Prevent Infant Deaths
Panter, Panter, and Sampedro encourage our fellow South Florida residents to take the "Parent Pledge" to prevent accidental infant suffocation at www.sleepbabysafely.com/pledge. Our personal injury law firm is dedicated to protecting Florida's families. We strive to help keep our communities safe through safety resources like this. However, when the unexpected does occur, we are dedicated to helping families through every step of the legal process. Speak to one of our experienced personal injury attorneys at (305) 662-6178.

Major Chinese crypto rig maker Canaan has recently supplied 2,000 'Avalon' mining rigs to Kazakhstan, Coindesk reported Monday, citing a press release.
Kazakhstan has become a haven for Chinese miners ever since China imposed a stringent ban on cryptocurrencies. The ban forced several miners and crypto operators to shift their operations to several other countries, Kazakhstan becoming the most popular.
Canaan's major delivery to Kazakhstan came after the company announced in June that it is seeking to diversify its mining business in the Central American country. "During a period of lull, the mining business will benefit from taking full advantage of the availability of … in-stock mining machines to be actively deployed in … mining operations at low electricity rates," the company said at the time.
The press release noted that the mining rigs would arrive in batches throughout the week, and Canaan's local subsidiary in Kazakhstan would start joint operations soon after.
The company has recently boosted its self-mining capacity after operating 32,000 terahash per second (TH/s). It plans to increase its hashrate by 850,000 TH/s "in the near term," the report read.

Synopsis and Review
Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato directed the wonderful documentary "Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures" in 2016, and this fictional view of his life from director Ondi Timoner fails to capture the ferocity, urgency and transgressive aspect of his art. The narrative introduces us to Robert Mapplethorpe during what can be considered defining moments in his life. Firstly we are introduced to his relationship to artist Patti Smith, who he casually meets in Central Park, and then subsequently embarks on an amorous relationship with, which then becomes a friendship one. The following chapter finds him evolving in his art and also meeting the person who forever changes his life, art curator Sam Wagstaff, who becomes his patron, lover and mentor. During this time Mapplethorpe also starts focusing more intently on photography, and also becomes more active in the gay community. Another chapter of the feature finds Mapplethorpe already well established, with a wide array of commissions, working with the assistance of his brother, and finally coming to terms with Wagstaff's pending demise as well as his own.
"Mapplethorpe"for all its good intentions fails to ever truly humanize the artist or for that matter, showcase a point of view on what compelled him to pursue his particular perspective in the universe he crafted throughout the years. It would have been interesting to further understand what drew him to the BDSM world or even what compelled his personal relationships both with Patti Smith and his models, but all we get throughout the film are vignettes, illustrations which are meant to represent his evolution of struggling artist to narcissistic, drug addicted and self absorbed star, and finally his demise. There isn't much to this feature that is revelatory, or for that matter particularly emotionally resonant, since even his amorous relationship with Sam Wagstaff is depicted as something casual and not as transformative as it actually turned out to be. In the end that's the most frustrating thing about this film, its lack of ability to go beyond the superficial. Whereas Julian Schnabel's "Basquiat" attempts to capture a particular moment in time, when Basquiat goes from unknown to an acclaimed artist, his relationships and substance abuse challenges, Ondi Timoner attempts a single swoop biography, which in the end renders most characters in it as nothing more than just sketches (including Mapplethorpe himself). The cast tries their best to bring these characters to life, with highlights going to Matt Smith, John Benjamin Hickey (who sports a terrible wig), and Brandon Sklenar. The cinematography from Nancy Schreiber is solid, but the film could benefit from a visual style more representative of New York of the 70s and 80s (which James Contner captured so well in William Friedkin's controversial "Cruising"). A missed opportunity and a forgettable film.

A cloud workload is any program, service, database, or other operation carried out on the cloud. Virtual servers, data backup, containers, networks, and even traditional computer hardware are examples of these workloads. Any workloads hosted on the cloud are cloud workloads, even though their precise goals may vary.
Why Is It Vital to Have a Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP)?
Enterprise computer infrastructures have gotten more complicated during the last ten years. The rising use of the cloud is a prominent factor in this complex growth. This tendency is understandable given the numerous advantages firms experience when moving their technological assets to the cloud.
Cloud workload protection becomes crucial in this situation. After all, anytime a hacking incident occurs, any company's reputation and profitability might make a significant impact. Vendors in the SecOps sector provide a range of CWPP cloud technologies to address the expanding cybersecurity demands. CWPPs dedicate to workloads, unlike older security solutions like Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPPs). It's a strategy more suited to the wide range of cloud systems.
Enterprise cybersecurity systems ultimately require advanced security features to safeguard contemporary cloud-based technical architectures. As a result, CWPPs support data centers that are hybrid, public, corporate, and multi-cloud.
How Is a CWPP Put into use?
Any workload deployed overseas on a company's public cloud must manage by a cloud workload protection platform. Network administrators frequently assess workload vulnerabilities. The administrator uses a variety of security measures as needed for the workload. These choices include host-based intrusion prevention, integrity or data protection, and allow lists. Anti-malware security is another choice based on the enterprise's demands for SecOps.
The nature of the organization will also affect other use cases. Software development companies, for instance, might incorporate CWPPs into the automated workflows in their CI/CD pipeline, usually as a component of the build process. This methodology increasingly uses by businesses that employ DevOps or DevSecOps approaches.
What Are the Main Advantages of CWPPs?
A CWPP offers an intuitive administration interface for a company's on-premises, private, and public clouds. Cloud engineers quickly learn in real time about workloads that might be dangerous. Thanks to the easy connection with other cloud management tools, administrators have a handy interface to monitor workloads, general security posture, and other network components like firewalls.
The team can respond to dangers more rapidly thanks to automated notifications. Response times for actions like creating application permit lists, changing postures, and more improve with support for business policy scripting. In a nutshell, CWPPs streamline and improvize the process of managing safety for any hybrid cloud system.
All cloud workloads deployed in an IaaS (infrastructure-as-a-service) architecture are also fully protected by it. As more businesses use virtualization, the complexity of cloud systems is growing. This tendency makes it challenging to secure cloud systems. Therefore, CWPPs are an essential component of every company's cybersecurity strategy.
As part of a comprehensive plan for technological infrastructure based on the cloud, CWPPs also enable businesses to save expenses. This strategy aids in lowering maintenance and facility overhead costs and capital expenditures on hardware computers and other components. This "green" strategy benefits firms that care about the environment.

Health and wellness advice, self-management tips, inspirational stories and much more to help you live well and flourish when living with arthritis.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Arthritis researchers across Canada continue to bring us closer to a future where arthritis is extinguished. In 2022, Arthritis Society Canada funding led to exciting advances, for example, in understanding the connection between gut bacteria and arthritis and uncovering how certain molecule patterns might predict the progression of osteoarthritis or someone's response to treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. Arthritis Society Canada is pleased to announce the Top 10 Arthritis Research Advances of 2022, made possible by donor funding. "There's never been a more important time for arthritis research," says Dr. Siân Bevan, Chief Science Officer at Arthritis Society Canada. "Arthritis is a complex disease, with more than 100 different types, and researchers are transforming how we prevent and treat it, while bringing us closer to a cure. "We're proud to shine a spotlight on some of the most exciting advances of 2022 with our annual Top 10 list." Etienne Doré of Université Laval made one of last year's top advances. Under the supervision of Dr. Éric Boilard, he discovered that a protein naturally present in the gut acts directly on intestinal bacteria to cause changes in the immune system and promote inflammatory arthritis in mice. Additional research may unravel which bacteria might be protective or damaging in relation to inflammatory arthritis in people, and whether treatments that impact gut bacteria could offer a new approach to preventing or treating inflammatory arthritis. "I'd like to sincerely thank all Arthritis Society Canada's supporters and contributors, without whom advances like these would never be possible. Together, we can fight the fire of arthritis," says Doré. Arthritis Society Canada is Canada's largest charitable funder of cutting-edge arthritis research. Thanks to the generous support of donors who help fuel our mission, we were able to invest $5.3 million in research last year alone. Be inspired by all the Top 10 Research Advances of 2022.
About Arthritis Society Canada
Fueled by the trust and support of our donors and volunteers, Arthritis Society Canada is Canada's national health charity fighting the fire of arthritis with research, advocacy, innovation, information and support. We represent the six million Canadians living with arthritis today, and the millions more who are impacted or at risk. Arthritis Society Canada is accredited under Imagine Canada's Standards Program.

Sweetwater says:
"Winter Coat Season – a strong ale brewed with generous amounts of rich malt, coupled with a taint of cinnamon and mace to keep you warm and toasted all winter long. We double dog dare you."
Sweetwater Festive Ale
Winter Warmer, 8.6% ABV
Andrew: I recently received the Festive Ale in a beer trade with a friend from Atlanta (hat tip to Josh), so we decided it was best to sit down and sample this and the rest of the beers from Georgia in one night. While we will get to the rest of the Peach State beers later this week, I'll go ahead and ruin the surprise (SPOILER ALERT) by saying that this was definitely the highlight of the night…at least for me.
I'll even go so far as to say that if I could go back and make a change to our "12 Beers of Christmas" lineup and add a brew, it would be this beer – a really great winter warmer.
The description supplied by Sweetwater really sums up this beer nicely. It's a picturesque ruby red beer that just oozes sweet, bready malts and all the spices you expect to find in a Christmas beer, cinnamon and nutmeg. I thought the addition of dark fruits, some nuttiness and a little brown sugar complimented the spices, hops and malts quite nicely. As any good winter warmer should, the Festive Ale finishes with an easy alcohol burn.
Now I'd like us to all I'd also like to take a moment to return to our high school physics class to discuss viscosity. I noted that the Festive Ale wasn't nearly as dense as some of the other winter warmers we've had this season. And while I expected a thicker consistency in this brew, the Festive Ale was actually pretty thin. Maybe it was because we wrapped up the evening with this beer, but I was very pleased that this had all the good characteristics of a winter warmer, but was a little less of a beast to deal with.
I really enjoyed the Festive Ale, so if you happen to find some bottles of it, pick it up. And if you are so inclined, throw it back for a year and let us know what happens.
Thanks again, Josh!
Ryan: Spot on, Andrew. I thought this would have been a great addition to the 12 Beers of Christmas too. I would have easily put this up there with, and maybe above, the likes of Anchor's Our Special Ale, Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Thirsty Dog's 12 Dogs of Christmas. This was an A+ winter warmer that brought all things fruitcake, a warm cup of coffee and chocolate covered cherries together in one bottle.
This beer brought everything to the table that you would expect from a winter warmer; cinnamon, nutmeg and some allspice but it also had some porter or stout-like qualities too it as well. I picked up some subtle dark chocolate as well as just a touch of bitter, roasted coffee in the finish. Dark fruits also made an appearance with the aforementioned cherries, some raisins and plums. This was a touch lighter than other winter warmers, but not by much.
I am a little embarrassed to say, but I had to look up "mace" to see what it was and if I tasted it or not. The brewery notes it above as one of the main components of the beer. Turns out mace is the reddish, waxy covering of the nutmeg seed and gives off a flavor similar to nutmeg but it is a little more peppery. Now, I can't say that I picked up the peppery aspect of the mace but I definitely noticed the nutmeg flavors.
Mace, and all, this is an intriguing and pretty complex beer for the style. Maybe Josh should send us some more so we can cellar it (hint, hint).

Hey guys, today I wanted to share some cool presets for the HX effects that I uploaded to the Line 6 Community. These presets were inspired by some gigs I played with a singer-songwriter in the UK, and they feature grungy fuzz and overdriven guitar sounds.
One particular sound I was trying to recreate was a unique Reverb effect called the Cadavenous by Blackout Effectors. It has this cool hold or freeze effect, but I couldn't find the exact pedal online. So, I tried using the Cosmos Echo and the Line 6 to get a similar sound, and it worked quite well.
Here's how I set it up in HX Edit:
Cosmos Echo on a quarter note with a ramp of 7.1.
Feedback controlled by a latching footswitch, which automatically sets the feedback to 58 when engaged and 26 when released.
I found that this feedback level worked best to avoid overwhelming volume when playing live. It's a simple setup, but it sounds great, and I'm planning to upload these presets to my page on the Line 6 Community for HX effects and the Stomp XL.
I hope you find these presets helpful! Share them with others and let me know if you have any questions.

In many vineyards, grapes aren't the only crop to manage. Cover crops planted between the rows, and in some cases in the rows, serve a purpose. Dr. Tony Wolf, viticulture professor at Virginia Tech, says that under-trellis crops help restrict vine vigor, but can result in reduced nitrogen or competition for nitrogen.
"There are no free lunches in grape-growing and using cover crops," said Wolf, "we get some of the benefits we're looking for in terms of canopy management and suppression of vine growth in all but the wettest years, but there are downsides."
Wolf says in some cases, using a cover crop results in low nitrogen levels in the vine. "There are two ramifications for that: one is that overall, the vines' nitrogen status might be depressed to a point where it has a negative impact on the capacity of the vine," he explained. "Vine size goes down and consequently, yields go down over time. In the shorter term there's reduction in yeast assimilable nitrogen level (YAN) in the fruit of vines that are grown with companion crops — cover crops not just between the rows but also under the trellis."
The consequences of low YAN level in the must or in the berries can range from no ill effects to some serious defects in the wine if musts are not augmented with diammonium phosphate or other yeast nutrients. Wolf says that typically, hydrogen sulfide mercaptan development — sulfurous compounds that smell like rotten eggs, onions or cabbage — lead to some of the off-odors that occur when winemakers run into problems with sluggish fermentations.
"There are two aspects of looking at nitrogen work," said Wolf, "how can we use cover crops to reduce vine vigor, but do it in a way that we aren't jeopardizing the overall welfare of the vine by depressing nitrogen levels in too much in the vine or in the must or berries?"
Wolf says there is evidence to show that naturally occurring amino acids synthesized in the berries are superior to synthetic forms of nitrogen that may be added in the fermentation in terms of overall aroma and flavor complexes in the fruit.
Label constraints, which aren't as significant in the United States as in Europe, allow the addition of up to 200 mg of nitrogen/liter. "If you're very low in yeast assimilable nitrogen, that may not bring it up enough to what is optimal," said Wolf.
In systems that establish perennial grasses under the trellises, nitrogen is not being added. "Those grasses are sequestering quite a bit of nitrogen that is available," he said, "and even though we aren't removing the grass from the vineyard, we are tying up quite a bit of nitrogen that might otherwise be available for the grapevines."
Wolf and a graduate student conducted research to determine the optimum time for annual nitrogen application that would benefit the cover crop while maintaining adequate vine and must levels of nitrogen. Another research objective was to determine if fertilization methods using different forms of nitrogen and various timings would affect the amino acid profiles of grapes. The ultimate goal was to determine the sensory impact of wines resulting from these vines.
Three grape varieties, including Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Petit Manseng, were selected for the trial. Wolf noted that the selected varieties had different flavor and aroma profiles.
Wolf says in the Sauvignon Blanc vineyard, the vines were 12 years old when the research was started. "At this particular vineyard, YAN was quite low — in the sub 100 mg/liter range; year in, year out," he said. "The winemaker was having to supplement the musts on a regular basis." The nitrogen treatments involved both a low and high rate of calcium nitrate applied to the soil. The low rate was about 30 pounds/acre applied once; the high rate was double that amount, applied in a split application. In addition, a foliar urea spray was applied weekly for eight weeks at a rate equal to the low rate of soil-applied calcium nitrate.
A cover crop test was conducted at the Virginia Tech's Petit Manseng vineyard. The study included two controls – one cover crop control and an herbicide strip control with more conventional floor management strategy using an inter-row cover crop and herbicide strip under the trellis. Pre-veraison foliar and post veraison urea was applied to the cover crop. "The goal was to look at the timing and the foliar applications," said Wolf, "we wanted to target the fruit to see what happened."
The third vineyard, planted in Merlot, involved several forms of nitrogen applications including compost, clover with compost, and calcium nitrate applied to soil at various rates. Wolf noted that the red clover that was originally planted failed to thrive and was replace with crimson clover, which did much better.
Wolf says that one goal of the research was to determine if any of the nitrogen treatments interfered with vine development or berry maturation. "We have heard from wine makers that they're leery about having nitrogen applied any time around veraison or leading up to harvest," he said. "There is good evidence that if you increase the nitrogen level too much in berries, you can increase yeast assimilable nitrogen in berries, and that can lead to increased incidence of botrytis in the fruit. That's one caveat, and with late-season nitrogen applications, we should consider that."
An interesting finding was that the clover and high compost rate increased Merlot harvest weights significantly. In primary fruit chemistry such as brix, in cover crop control versus herbicide control, there was a one degree increase in brix where cover crops were used under the trellis. "Conversely, we saw a degree decrease in brix with herbicides," said Wolf. "We found that foliar nitrogen applications increase YAN levels, but soil applications worked as well."
Wolf noted that amino acids are receiving more recognition as having an impact on flavor and aroma compounds in fruit. "The treatment that had the greatest impact on amino acid composition of the fruit was the foliar applications of urea," he said. "It was interesting that we were getting this significant effect with foliar application."

5th Apr 2022
The 2022 Residency is On!
The authors have arrived in Annecy for the start of the 2022 Annecy Festival Residency! Also, find out which mentors will be assisting them.
In November, we presented the projects that were chosen to be supported during the 2022 Annecy Festival Residency for the graphic development of animation feature films.
Ismaël Joffroy Chandoutis, for the project Deep Fake, Zsuzsanna Kreif and Balázs Turai, for the project Dino Doom on Desert Planet, and Emilio Ramos, for the project Hanta, have arrived in Annecy and start their residency inside the Papeteries – Image Factory.
Now, it's time to present the mentors that will be assisting their creative approach.
For the scriptwriting aspects:
- Anita Doron: scriptwriter and director, is assisting the project Hanta
- Laurent Sarfati: writer, scriptwriter and writing director, is assisting the project Dino Doom on Desert Planet
For the graphic development aspects:
- Pierre La Police: artist, is assisting the project Dino Doom on Desert Planet
- Sepideh Farsi: director, is assisting the project Hanta
- Guangli Liu: producer, is assisting the project Deep Fake
A two-step mentoring was suggested to the artists: the first step working on the script remotely, and the second step on-site and focused on the projects' graphic development. These mentorships are co-designed with the artists themselves, to identify the profiles best adapted to their graphic universes or their technical aspirations.
The first assistance gives the opportunity to question the film's storyline beforehand, to make some adjustments and fine-tune it to ensure that the artistic work can start.
The second assistance aims to advise and push each artist in their creative process. This stimulation is necessary to explore and draw out maximum benefit from the time offered during the residency.
Consult the Annecy Festival Residency 2022 webpage to find out about the mentors, artists, and projects selected.
We wish them all an excellent Residency until 30th June 2022!

Faine's latest conceptual works create an interplay between visual and textual layers of meaning and are structured around complex geometric layers of words, numbers, images and symbols that reflect their underlying philosophy. In each work Brad Faine displays a huge dose of both visual and linguistic wit, as well as taking a caustic swipe at the underbelly of the English establishment.
Art Malarkey is divided up into a chequerboard structure, whose squares contain layered sections from images of modern masterpieces by abstract artists such as Rothko, Mondrian and Pollock. These images are placed over an underlying alphabet sequence that forms the basis for the composition. The top tier of meaning is delivered by another sequence of letters covering the whole pictorial space, spelling the names of famous artists. Faine creates a visual conundrum between the art images he quotes and the names that lie on top of them. The viewer is left to identify the images and then decipher the artist's names. The effect of the piece is to de-mystify the rarefied air of the upper echelons of the art world and have a bit of fun playing around with the modern masters.
Classic Malarkey expands on the themes and ideas explored in Art Malarkey again layering letters and images in a chequerboard format, to create a composition packed with information that challenges the viewer to unlock the text whilst also testing their knowledge of the old masters. Brand Faine's skill as a contemporary artist, using modern geometric compositions and cutting-edge silkscreen techniques, is combined with the subject of old master paintings from Velasquez's Rokeby Venus to David's Death of Marat. Each square of the grid contains a letter, the alphabet winding around the composition in bold modern shades finished with a gloss glaze to give them emphasis. Each letter represents the surname of an old master, whose work can be found somewhere in the piece. The smaller letters also spell these names, and the viewer is challenged to find them all and reconcile them with the correct image, making Classic Malarkey an entertaining puzzle as well as a stunning piece of art.
The Red and The Black refers not only to the famous novel of the same name by Stendhal, but to the state of our bank accounts - making it particularly pertinent in the current climate. The composition is divided into a chequerboard of red and black numbered squares, reminiscent of the random layout of a roulette wheel and hinting at the risks we all take when investing our money. The squares are numbered, the figures' lack of colour making them stand out to the viewer, reminding us that the world of banking and finance all comes down to digits often featuring a large zero. Each square is also layered with a different currency symbol, reflecting the global nature of economics. Running across the whole composition are a sequence of letters, which upon closer examination can be seen to spell phrases such as 'extortionate expenses' and 'debased derivatives'. Finally Faine breaks up the gloss finish of the piece leaving matt another sequence of larger letters that fill a circular space in the centre of the image, spelling 'RUSSIAN ROULETTE'

Laser beams give neuroscientists new insights about mind's 'inside GPS' system in mice study- Expertise Information, DD Freedishnews
FP TrendingNov 10, 2020 20:42:26 IST
Scientists have discovered a approach to mentally teleport mice to a distinct location by stimulating a neuron of their mind. The group used laser beams in an effort to reactivate the cells.
The researchers used mild to learn and write electrical exercise within the mind. The mice got a reward at a spot which they saved as reminiscences inside their 'place cells' (a kind of neuron). Utilizing two mild primarily based experiments, the scientists activated the identical cells and used reminiscences of this place to make the mice really feel and act as if it was again on the place of being rewarded.
The analysis was performed by a gaggle of neuroscientists on the College School London (UCL) and the outcomes have been revealed within the journal Cell. Explaining how the complete experiment happened, a press notice from UCL stated that the group had used two optics primarily based applied sciences.
"First, they engineered neurons to precise genetically encoded calcium sensors, which permit cells to mild up when they're energetic. Second, they expressed light-sensitive 'optogenetic' proteins in the identical neurons, permitting them to activate particular cells with beams of laser mild".
By combining these two strategies, they have been capable of conduct focused activation of the place cells of the mice. These cells positioned within the hippocampus, the realm within the mind accountable for reminiscence and studying, usually get energetic when the mice are in a brand new space and within the lookout for brand spanking new reminiscence. When the cells have been artificially activated, the mice bought "mentally teleported" and felt like they have been again on the place the place that they had saved these reminiscences.
The assertion noticed that "place cell stimulation" was sufficient to retrieve the reminiscence of the rewarded location within the mouse in order that it began on the lookout for the reward on the new location. UCL famous that it was the "first demonstration of how the activation of place cells allows us to retrieve reminiscences of our surroundings and helps us to navigate".

like US midterm electionsCalls Midterms, started last Tuesday (8). The results of the poll define the political landscape for the next two years and directly affect the administrations of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Kamala will play a critical role if the Senate ends without a majority of seats for either the Democratic or Republican parties because of the Minerva vote.
Joe Biden's party needs two more wins to retain control of the US Senate, while Republicans need to elect three more congressmen.
Now, control of the 100 seats in the House, currently split 50-50 between Republicans and Democrats, is held by three states: Nevada, Arizona and Georgia.
While the Nevada count indicates a victory for Republican Adam Laxalt, Arizona is expected to elect Democrat Mark Kelly.
The result in Georgia will be decisive in the dispute and will take about a month to determine. According to local legislation, the candidate must win more than 50% of the votes, otherwise, a second round is necessary, which happens for the second time in a row.
Georgia voters return to the polls on December 6 to decide the race between incumbent Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock and former football star Republican Herschel Walker.
Democrats were hoping to win Republican senators from North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania. She only won the latter, thanks to the victory of Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who suffered a stroke while campaigning against Trump-backed TV celebrity doctor Mehmet Öz.
Senate control would give Republicans the power to block Biden's nominees for administrative and judicial positions.
Republicans are close to securing a majority in the House of Representatives. The party won at least 210 seats in the Assembly, but 33 contests are still undecided.

In 2003, Samoa was a small island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean. It had a population of around 180,000 people and its economy was largely driven by agriculture and fishing. The country had adopted a democratic multi-party system but corruption remained an issue. According to computergees, Samoa maintained strong diplomatic ties with other Pacific nations such as Tonga and Fiji while it also had close relations with New Zealand and Australia. In 2003, tourism to the islands was beginning to grow as visitors were drawn to its beautiful beaches and lush rainforests. The country offered numerous attractions such as Papaseea Sliding Rocks which showcased the unique geology of the region, To Sua Ocean Trench which provided opportunities for snorkeling and swimming, Togitogiga Waterfall which offered hiking trails, and Palolo Deep Marine Reserve which protected coral reefs and marine life. Additionally, there were many opportunities for outdoor activities such as surfing in Lalomanu Beach or visiting the Mount Vaea National Park which is home to native Samoan wildlife.
Yearbook 2003
Samoa. According to Countryaah.com, Samoa Independence Day is June 1. The ruling Human Rights Protection Party (HRPP) strengthened its position in Parliament after a August general election. The HRPP thus had 32 of Parliament's 49 seats.
Samoa decided to join 15 policemen in the Australian-led force who were sent to the Solomon Islands in July to establish law and order after the civil war there.
As of August, Samoans were forced to fly to New Zealand, just over 300 miles, when they were applying for a visa to the United States. As part of the protection against terrorism, the United States demanded that the applicant personally approach the embassy there. The government of Samoa protested to the US authorities against the hassle and costs it entailed for its citizens.
An independent state of Samoa Brief Guide
According to AbbreviationFinder, Samoa (until 1997 Western Samoa, between 1900 and 1914 German Samoa) is an archipelago state in the Pacific Ocean. Together with American Samoa, it forms the Samoan archipelago, which is part of the Polynesian archipelago.
For more information on traveling in the country, see the English Foreign Office's travel bulletin, for example.
Samoa has a tropical climate, with almost daily rainfall. The highest temperature of the day is about 30 degrees throughout the year, the lowest of the night is about 23 degrees. The actual rainy season lasts from November to April. The rains often come in the afternoon.
Food & Beverage
Everyday food generally includes fish and chicken, salad, root vegetables such as taro and yam. The raw materials used are also breadfruit, coconuts and coffee and cocoa. Products imported from abroad include rice, butter, flour and sugar. Water and beverages must be industrially bottled. It is also a good idea to rinse fruits and vegetables with bottled water. Heated or tablet-purified water can be drunk. Reheated foods should be avoided.
Travel Seasons Year-
round destination. The best time to travel is during our summer season, the quietest season is from November to April, when Samoa also has a cyclone season.
SAMOA. – The New Zealand mandate over Western Samoa became a trustee in 1947. New Zealand encouraged the gradual handover to its residents of ever-expanding responsibilities of government: an Elective Legislative Assembly (reformed and enlarged in 1957) made up of 41 Samoans was established in 1947 and 5 Europeans and the Council of State (made up of the New Zealand high commissioner and two Fautua representing the two dynasties of the Tupua and Malietoa), with tasks similar to those of head of state; in 1949 is the creation of a public administration entrusted to the natives, while in 1952 an Executive Council was established. In 1959 a kind of cabinet was established, accountable to the Legislative Assembly. Finally, following an agreement between the New Zealand government, the Samoan leaders and the UN Trusteeship Council, Western Samoa became independent on January 1, 1962, and with the abolition of the High Commissioner, the two Fautuas jointly became heads of state. The population of the islands as of 31 December 1959 was 105,863 units, of which 99,851 indigenous and 6012 Europeans, with a density of 36.1 residents per km2. Apia had (in 1958) 18,000 residents. The most important product is coconut, followed by banana, cocoa and taro. Over half of the government revenue comes from customs duties.
The Eastern Samoa (20,040 residents In 1960) are administered by a governor, appointed by the American Ministry of the Interior (since 1951); the current governor is a Samoan. A constitution and a possible reunion of all Samoa are being studied.

After running backs and offensive linemen got the Scouting Combine underway on Wednesday, it rolls on as tight ends and wide receivers take their turn getting measured on Thursday.
To put all wide receivers under the same umbrella would be misguided—it's several positions within a position. Every good wide receiver corps resembles a starting five, and to have a well rounded group, a team needs a vertical stretcher, an underneath receiver and an above-the-rim player. That's how I split the position, but the Seattle Seahawks have consistent thresholds across the position they follow, regardless of the role.
Similarly, at tight end there are different roles— a move tight end is not an in-line tight end is not an H-back. However, like at wide receiver, Seattle does have trends they follow, albeit less strict than at wide receiver.
Wide Receiver
In terms of athletic testing, the Seahawks' thresholds are consistent regardless of the type of receiver. Where it differs is the size requirements. In a possession receiver who wins above-the-rim, Seattle looks for a player 6-foot-2 and above, and 210-plus pounds. We've seen different body types among that style of player, from the string-bean Kenny Lawler (who admittedly fell outside their mold) to the granite-carved David Moore. In a slot receiver, the Seahawks look for a player around 5-foot-10 and between 180 and 190 pounds. And, in a deep threat—though a small sample size—it's just about clearing that 5-foot-10 threshold.
The athletic testing is highly focused on the important traits at the position. Explosiveness is (logically) desired: 10 of 12 receivers drafted by the Seahawks (or impactful UDFAs) since 2010 jumped 10' or higher in the broad and 35" or higher in the vertical. All of the 12 receivers were below 7.2 seconds in the three cone, which tests a player's change of direction, and all but Lawler ran a sub-4.5 second 40-yard dash. (And really, all any team should be looking for in the 40-yard dash, for the most part, is functional speed.)
Tight End
With the exception of the uber-athletic and largely positionless Jameson Konz, Seattle has consistently targeted tight ends 6-foot-4 and taller, and between 250-260 pounds. (For as specific as the Seahawks get at some positions, this is about as average can be. Perhaps, for a true modern tight end in the Evan Engram or David Njoku mold they would go smaller, but even the freakish Jimmy Graham was 6-foot-6 and 260 pounds.)
Athletically, Seattle isn't looking for anything particularly unique—which goes back to the different roles within the position. The trends for the broad jump (9') and vertical jump (30") are quite average. Regardless of whether it's a traditional blocking tight end like Will Dissly, or a total project like Konz, change of direction ability is desired—watch for players who come in at 7.1 seconds and below.
The Seahawks could add a player at both wide receiver and tight end, whether it's in free agency or through the draft. There are half a dozen roles within those two positions, but Seattle narrows the pool by looking for their kind of players and athletes.

Recently I've been asked by a SEO-managing person to copy the text of all links within main menu into their title attribute. As my menu is run by OM Maximenu and contains mostly Views, it was relatively easy to add it in corresponding view, but I started to wonder if there's a way to globally alter links in such a way. It would have to be performed in PHP level (template.php or a module). I haven't found a hook though like "drupal_link_alter", except for some old Drupal 5 function?
Any insights?

Promises Made, Promises Kept: Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass Celebrates Africa Day at Getty House, Uniting the African Diaspora and Restoring Dignity"
Magazine, The Immigrant Experience, #STOPTHEHATE
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass delivered a compelling speech, resonating with the powerful phrase "Promises Made, Promises Kept," to an esteemed audience comprising distinguished guests and members of the African diaspora at her official residence in Hancock Park last weekend. Joined by City Council President Pro Tempore Curren D. Price, Jr. and The Getty House Foundation Board of Directors, Mayor Bass commemorated Africa Day, a momentous occasion marking the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Organization of African Unity by thirty African nations on May 25, 1963. Originally recognized as African Liberation Day, this significant milestone has been observed in the United States since 1972, serving as a platform for activists to express solidarity with the African independence movement.
In Los Angeles, Africa Day serves as a vibrant and joyous celebration, embracing the rich diversity of our African diaspora communities. It embodies our shared commitment to fostering economic and cultural connections across the continent while reflecting the cherished values we hold dear. Mayor Bass, in her impassioned speech, underscored the vital role played by the African diaspora in uniting individuals of African descent and reaffirmed her dedication to annually commemorating this significant day, a promise she made during her campaign.
The event itself exuded a lively and resplendent ambiance, where special guests and dignitaries proudly adorned themselves in exquisite African regalia. The atmosphere brimmed with festivity, immersing attendees in a vibrant tapestry of colors that paid homage to the rich cultural heritage of the African continent.
This unforgettable celebration at Getty House stood as a testament to the fulfillment of promises and the unwavering commitment of Los Angeles to honor and uplift its African diaspora communities. Moreover, in the face of hate targeting minority communities, including black immigrants, this day served as a powerful restoration of dignity and value for Africans in the diaspora and people of African descent.

Let us look at the best PayPal forex brokers currently.
FXTM is a broker with a global image. This broker offers traders access to the forex market, but beyond that, traders can also trade different assets on their platform. FXTM was launched in 2011, and in that time, they have made quite a name for themselves. Traders can buy and sell Bitcoin, CFDs, spot metals, and of course, foreign exchange. With a maximum leverage of 1000:1, traders have opportunities to increase their winnings if they are willing to take the risk.
You can trade using MetaTrader 4 and 5 on FXTM, and there are loads of educational materials available free of charge to registered members.
FxPro has been active since 2007 and is still going strong to date. This is another PayPal forex broker we recommend to traders who intend to use PayPal as a funding channel. Today, it is one of the leading platforms for CFDs and Forex trading. Having garnered an impressive 85 awards to date, rest assured that your investment is in safe hands with FxPro. You can trade a wide range of assets like forex, indices, metals, energy.
This broker also has commodities, futures, and equities available for traders too. As for their trade execution tools, you will find them quite easy to use, even if you are a beginner. They also have advanced platforms like MetaTrader4 and MetaTrader5.
Not all PayPal forex brokers offer traders the kind of technology that FP Markets offers. Their large cache of product offerings is also a huge draw for traders from all over the world, which is why many have come to trust their brokerage services, and by extension, their platform.
FP Market operates a customer-centric business model which involves building a strong relationship with the customer by having their needs met in a timely fashion. They have some of the most advanced trading interfaces we have seen. First, they have their WebTrader, which is available on mobile apps. For those who don't want to use WebTrader, they can switch to MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5.
Pepperstone is another option for you if you want to use PayPal to fund your account or to make withdrawals. Pepperstone has been active since 2010 with different trading interfaces available like MT 4 and MT 5. However, their in-house cTrader is amazing with unique features. Here, you can trade not only forex but gold, silver, futures, options, and different other commodities with as much as 500:1 leverage.
This platform allows you to make fast trade execution in split seconds with very low spreads as low as 0.16-0.64 pips. Pepperstone also has ridiculously low commission rates that you can take advantage of.
FxGlory brokerage Services is one of the few brokers in the world, offering traders leverage of 1.3000 even for small deposits. They also offer you spreads ranging from 2-10. While you can automatically connect your FxGlory account to your bank account, you can also operate it using your PayPal account if you so choose. Established in 2011 in the UAE, this broker has expanded its tentacles to many other regions, thereby making it one of the best PayPal forex brokers around.
Another advantage of trading with this broker is that there is no minimum deposit amount to activate your account. Beyond that, the account verification process is relatively easy and can be concluded in a matter of minutes. The platform is safe and secure, and highly regulated.
Paypal forex brokers offer traders Paypal as a payment pipeline. Being one of the foremost payment platforms in the world, you can fund your trading account or make withdrawals in a matter of seconds without stress. The brokers in this review all offer Paypal as a means of payment, but besides that, their trading platforms have intuitive tools to simplify your trading.
Yes, you can, but it depends. This will only be possible if the broker allows PayPal as a payment channel.
There may be several reasons for this, but who we do know that many brokers shy away from Paypal because of the stringent security protocols of PayPal.
Payment can be sent in a matter of seconds. However, different PayPal forex brokers have different time schedules for updating the trading accounts of their customers. While some have automatic balance updates, some may take a little more time.
This will depend on the minimum account balance accepted by the broker you are trading with. Brokers with no minimum deposit requirement will accept any amount you transfer to your trading account.
It depends. Some PayPal forex brokers allow account linking while others do not.

"We are grateful to our partnership with FORETHOUGHT.net who continues to support our non-profit organisations' mission to expand quality internet and interconnectivity solutions throughout the greater Denver market," says Jay Hanke a member of IX-Denver's board of directors.

The Town of Newmarket is going ahead with a new outdoor pickleball facility to meet demand for the popular sport, to be run by a newly formed pickleball club.
The new courts would be available during the warmer months at the current location of the Lions Park tennis courts. Council committee of the whole voted March 27 to build a dedicated, 12 to 14 court facility in that space.
"We are embarking on a new and exciting time for pickleball," Newmarket Mayor John Taylor said, as dozens of audience members applauded in the council chambers.
Debra Scott, who presented to council as president of the 130-member Newmarket Pickleball Club, thanked council for creating needed facilities for the sport.
"We have continued to play year-round outdoors," she said. "Many of you, I'm sure, have already heard from your constituents that it is difficult to find a place to play … We're looking forward to partnering with the municipality as these plans proceed."
The move comes as the town responds to the rising popularity of support, which prompted it to hold an open house earlier this year. Director of recreation and culture Colin Service said the town could run pickleball at its Magna Centre every hour it is open and "it would still be full."
The proposal will see the pickleball club operate the outdoor court at Lions Park, similar to how the Newmarket Tennis Club currently runs the Keith Davis Tennis Centre in the summer.
The current plan is for the facility to be closed in the winter, however, town staff suggested that in the future a sports dome, or bubble, would allow the courts to remain open during the winter, which would require the relocation of the volunteer-run community hockey rink that operates there now.
Chris Howie, who has run the popular community rink for the past nine years, told council that the current location is critical to maintaining good ice.
"I agreed to that location nine years ago. It's been a great success for the community," he said.
Newmarket Mayor John Taylor emphasized that the rink will be able to continue operation next winter and for years to come. Any consideration for bubbling the courts, and subsequently moving the rink, would be years down the line and would only come with public consultation, he added.
Besides the Lions Park courts on D'Arcy Street, a Quaker Park facility on William Roe Blvd. will have lines exclusively for pickleball.
Service also said the tennis facility to be built in the Shining Hill development at the south end of town could have some time for pickleball during winter daytime hours, but with lines created with tape, rather than permanent markings. However, he said during winter weekends, evenings and throughout the summer, the tennis facility would be exclusively for tennis.
Members of the public filled part of the council chambers to watch the proceedings and decision-making on pickleball and tennis.
The resolution will still need to be finalized at a council meeting.

Micah Plath Chats About His Love Interest
On Welcome to Plathville, fans have seen the older kids step out of their comfort zones and what they've always known growing up. They're stepping away from many of their parents' strict values. While this appears to be a struggle for them, they appear to be enjoying this new freedom. Specifically, Ethan, Moriah, and Micah Plath are finding themselves. Olivia Plath, Ethan's wife, seems to be helping him figure out who he is by encouraging him to try new things.
In the current season of the TLC show, fans are getting a glimpse of Micah's new life. The teen has moved out of his parents' home and lives with his younger sister Moriah. Now, Micah is also a model. Fans have gotten to see a different side of him as he strips down and poses for the camera. He also documented his first trip to Disney World recently.
Naturally, he's gaining plenty of attention from the ladies, mostly due to his modeling career. So, what's his relationship status?
Is Micah Plath dating or single?
Recently, Micah appeared virtually on the Domenick Nati Show. There, he talked about his relationship status.
During the interview, Micah said that it's "tough" for him to pinpoint where his relationship is right now. He does reveal that he has a love interest though. The lady in question is named Caroline, and he met her via social media. They started chatting via social media after he connected with her, thanks to some mutual friends. Later, they met in person.
He explains in the interview, "I don't want to go into a whole lot of detail because I'm not super sure of how serious I am or how serious it is. But I am talking to someone at the moment, you can see her on my Instagram, but I am not positive on where we are at right now if that makes any sense."
In addition, he says he doesn't feel like he needs a serious, committed relationship right now. He continues, "I don't need distraction. Not saying the right person couldn't help me along, so you never know."
Based on Caroline and Micah's Instagram pages, it looks like they took a trip to Disney World together. Whether they're serious or not, fans are happy to see Micah living his life as he pleases.

Sean Purcell is an experimental filmmaker specializing in found footage and abstract expressionist cinema. He has received a Bachelor of Arts in English literature from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, and he has received Master of Fine Arts in film and TV production from Loyola Marymount University in 2016.
Sean's work is focused on exploring cultural memory, particularly focused on American guilt. His two most recent works, "The Vivisected Earth" and "The Modern Orpheus," used found footage images to explore areas of thought ignored or overlooked by American artists. "The Vivisected Earth" addressed the guilt of the American consumer, focusing on consumption's primary moral dilemma--is it ethical for me to eat another, even if I must do so to survive. "The Modern Orpheus" addressed the forgotten cultural guilt concerning America's use of the atomic bomb in World War II.
Sean's work has been featured in the Orlando Critical Edge Film Festival, and his short film The Vivisected Earth won a Merit Award for the 2016 Awareness Festival, located in Los Angeles, California. He also won the VAPA Film Studies Award at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs in the spring of 2013.
Now based in Denver, Colorado, Sean is currently working on a series of experimental abstract expressionist films--The "Flightless Birds Project"--and will be teaching avant-garde and experimental film at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs.
A single issue defined the production of "The Modern Orpheus:" what is a filmmaker to do with the troubling, graphic images that the American army captured following their victory in Japan in 1945?
The project began as a meditation on atomic weapons. More focused on the effect of nuclear culture on the American psyche and framed within the American west, the project was interested in seeing America as a labyrinth, coded with a past of violence that lingered in its history that we Americans never fully addressed; however, once I had gathered my footage, primarily from the National Archives in Washington D.C., I found myself driven towards a more empathetic lens.
While I collected images, I found myself appalled by what I had unearthed. These images of the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were so coldly collected. How could any ethical filmmaker agree to shoot images like these? How could anyone approach this work with such nonchalance? Once I entered the cutting phase of production, I found myself focused on trying to find a way to depict these images as they were, to depict them as a whole unobstructed truth.
The first thing that I nixed was a sense of patriotism. The historical argument for the use of the bomb in Japan was one that focused on the bomb's need: the bloodshed of an American land invasion of Japan would be far more destructive than that of the two cities annihilated by the atomic bomb. This argument does not take into consideration the other postures given by the bomb--America's future of imperial control over the world through and past the Cold War; its posture against and in superiority to the U.S.S.R.; and the cultural obsession toward the commercial and societal uses of the bomb in the post-war era. We Americans can be proud of our victory, but only in the Pyrrhic sense. We won the war, but at the cost of our whole selves, and the America that rose out of the war was a twisted double of the America before Pearl Harbor.
In that sense, "The Modern Orpheus" had to become a film criticizing the American use of the bomb, built from guilt, a guilt that America has never properly expressed.
The film had to be built from a pair of perspectives. The first perspective is the academic: to understand the bomb from what is shown and what is said, and to accept the perspective's truth--the radical destruction of two entire cities. The second perspective is the emotional: to comprehend the pain of those we Americans hurt and killed, and in doing so, begin to understand the repercussions of our nation's acts from a point of empathy.
I structured "The Modern Orpheus" to emphasize this dichotomy, splitting the film into a series of contrasts: the academic/the emotional; the male/the female; the waking/the dreaming. I stole a means of treating images from Chris Marker's "Sans Soleil", as a way to differentiate the two realities, and the high contrast images I built both alienate the audience from what they are seeing, while at the same time forcing the film into a heightened emotional resonance, to shift the images from the documentary images into ones closer to an abstract expressionist take. In this way, I hoped to try to split the distance between the audience and their shame, their ignorance and their unwillingness to address the history upon which their privilege is built.
The final result is the first in a series of films I have made about American guilt. I cannot find any better way to address my nation of origin except to criticize it, to cut the fabric of our history and see if it bleeds.

Fiction is art and art is the triumph over chaos… to celebrate a world that lies spread out around us like a bewildering and stupendous dream.
Seated at the table, high in her firmament of gin, she looked critically at her brother and his wife, remembering some real or imagined injustice of her youth, for with any proximity the constellations of some families generate among themselves an asperity that nothing can sweeten.
For me a page of good prose is where one hears the rain. A page of good prose is when one hears the noise of battle.... A page of good prose seems to me the most serious dialogue that well-informed and intelligent men and women carry on today in their endeavor to make sure that the fires of this planet burn peaceably.
Fiction is meant to illuminate, to explode, to refresh.
Fiction is experimentation; when it ceases to be that, it ceases to be fiction.
The novel remains for me one of the few forms...where we can describe, step by step, minute by minute, our not altogether unpleasant struggle to put ourselves into a viable and devout relationship to our beloved and mistaken world.
I do not understand the capricious lewdness of a sleeping mind.

Director Matty Farrell reckons it will be the perfect blend
OH buoy. Bold Street Coffee - fine purveyors of badass breakfast baps, doughnuts and lots and lots of lovely cawfee - has announced it will be opening its second branch this year.
We can't wait to welcome regulars and new guests to our second site in the city centre
GSG Hospitality aka Graffiti Spirits Group aka the team behind Duke Street Food and Drink Market, Santa Chupitos and Salt Dog Slims, will open the new branch of Bold Street Coffee at The Plaza on Old Hall Street.
The award-winning BSC will open on the ground floor of the 18-storey office complex in Liverpool's commercial district on 3 February. The launch of the new coffee shop comes ahead of ambitious plans from the Graffiti group to also open a restaurant and bar within the development later in the year.
The Plaza has held an iconic spot on Liverpool's skyline since 1965, and is currently in the process of being re-imagined by Bruntwood Works via a major £3m transformation to create a "Pioneer" workspace environment that aims to build and enhance community connection.
Nodding back to the spirit and aspirations of the 1960s, the interiors have been designed to encourage collaboration, community and productivity. Powered by plenty of coffee and doughnuts, presumably.
Graffiti Spirits Group continues to expand its portfolio and last year made its mark on Manchester with the opening of Salt Dog Slim's on Bow Lane. GSG's other brands include Peppercat Sports, El Bandito, 81 Ltd, and Slim's Bold Street.
In January, Santa Maluco pizzeria permanently closed after almost six years in business. The building at Number Two Castle Street has now been taken on by the folks behind Crosby's So Salsa, The Tree House and Rock Salt.
Since opening in 2010, Bold Street Coffee has become an institution in Liverpool. Guests heading to the new BSC at The Plaza will be able to enjoy great coffee, as well as a selection of teas and iced drinks.
There will also be a full breakfast and brunch menu with all of the BSC staples such as buoys; a lightly toasted brioche bun filled with the likes of scrambled egg, bacon, sausage patty or vegan and veggie options.
Matt Farrell, director of Bold Street Coffee, said: "Bold Street Coffee is a much-loved venue with a strong community focus and we can't wait to welcome regulars and new guests to our second site in the city centre.
"Opening in the business district is really exciting for us; guests can come to BSC to work alongside enjoying their favourite coffee, or stop by for a grab and go sandwich on the way to their next meeting.
"Our focus is on the quality of house coffee and produce for our breakfast and brunch dishes. Being an independent ourselves, we love to champion other independent guest roasters which are changed every quarter and give our wall space to local artists and exhibitionists.
"We'll continue to do this at our second BSC site and look forward to welcoming everyone in early February and beyond."
Bruntwood's portfolio includes Blackfriars House in Manchester, Cotton Exchange in Liverpool, Booths Park in Cheshire, West One in Leeds and Corner Block in Birmingham.
Colin Forshaw, regional director of Bruntwood Works in Liverpool said: "We're thrilled to be welcoming Bold Street Coffee to The Plaza and to see this exceptional ground floor experience take shape.
"Together with the fantastic Graffiti Spirits Group we're developing a brand new food and drink destination for Liverpool, right in the heart of the business district."
The Plaza restaurant and bar aims to be a flagship eating and drinking destination for the wider commercial district and the city of Liverpool.
BSC at The Plaza will be open Monday to Friday 7.30am-6pm, initially, with weekends opening up in the coming months.
