Dansenshus, Stockholm, Sweden; December 13, 2014
Maggie Foyer"
The Monopoly Game" is proving another sell-out success for Fredrik Benke Rydman, best known to British audiences for his "Swan Lake Reloaded" and "Insane in the Brain". This production shows the same theatrical acumen: Rydman knowing just the right buttons to push to ensure audience pleasure. He taps into the current preoccupation with computer gaming and technology while keeping human relationships firmly at its heart.
Johan Liljedahl provides the original music to back Rydman's innovative street cum contemporary choreography and the neat story line is tailored to nine individual and very talented dancers who briefly behave badly before doing a rewind and replay to find a better way.
A winning factor is the lighting from Palle Palmé who crafts moments of pure magic in collaboration with Rydman's designs and the team of the video artists. These elements reach a peak of invention in the solo for Ellen Lindblad – the individualist in a purple tutu. As she dives onto the dance floor the white surface is instantly dyed black and continues to change in a dynamic pattern of colourful light and design that mirrors the choreography in a fascinating marriage of movement and high tech.
Each dancer is a distinct personality type, bringing their particular spice to the mix. Fredrik 'Kaos' Wentzel is the upfront exhibitionist, with virtuoso technique as warranty, ensuring that the show doesn't have a dull moment. Empathy, peace and love emanate from Maria Andersson and Kenny Lantz, the two initial 'outcasts', who bring contrasting gentleness in a sensitively choreographed interlude: two solos danced side by side, together in a quiet grey space.
While each individual dancer has their moment of fame, the piece relies heavily on ensemble co-operation both in the dance and in the stage construction, a task they leapt to with the alacrity of a fully paid-up stage crew.
The 'game' is born when a white cube is caught in a column of light and eagerly passed round the group until it falls and break into fragments. Inevitably this leads to squabbling over the pieces with the group's rejection of the losers becoming increasingly spiteful and bullying. The rivalry builds to the ever popular dance competition but rather than congratulating the winner, he is brutally attacked. Finally, the two survivors, the dominant power-suited woman, Lisa Arnold, and the intense and driven sceptic, Daniel Koivunen, battle it out in a sequence where the lighting effects are in a class of their own. Woman-power wins but it is a pyrrhic victory as the stage crew (the real ones this time) rush on and in minutes they have stripped the stage bare and we are back to square one. Rewind and this time they play a friendlier game.
Rydman has scored again with a show that has its finger on the pulse of dance as it is happening on the streets with a team primed to ignite his vision.

What to Expect From the Total Solar Eclipse in Texoma [VIDEO]
It's called the Great American Eclipse and it crosses the continental United States from Oregon to South Carolina on Monday, August 21st. While Wichita Falls won't be in the 100% obscuration area, we will see a marked decrease in daylight in the early afternoon hours with about 77% of the sun's light blocked by the moon.
When it comes to things in the sky, the first people we like to talk to are meteorologists, and while solar eclipses aren't exactly their field, they are usually a pretty good source of information. With that in mind, we sat down with meteorologist John Cameron from KAUZ, News Channel 6, and asked him a few questions about what we can expect from the total solar eclipse here in the Texoma area and how and when to view it.
Curious about exactly how much obscuration your friends in other cities will see? Just click on their location on this handy eclipse calculator from those smart people at NASA.
Enjoy the eclipse, and remember, never look directly into the sun without solar eclipse approved sunglasses. If you have them, you might want to keep them in a safe place, there's another eclipse coming in 2024 and we'll be much closer to the total eclipse path that time around!

A seminar today will look at how to get the best value for rural communities from the remainder of the Rural Development Programme for England. The event in Kendal, in Cumbria, will bring together more than a hundred organisations to build on lessons from the programme so far.
The seminar has been organised jointly by the RDPE and the Northern Rural Network as an opportunity to exchange information on project delivery and RDPE evaluation studies that are currently underway. It will also look at how to secure maximum value from the remaining funding. The grant scheme was created to benefit rural communities to the tune of 3.9 billion pounds between 2007 and 2013.
Rebecca Frost, Programme Manager for the RDPE Network, said the seminar followed a similar event last year when Local Action Groups from across the north of England came together to share ideas and experiences of delivering 'Leader' projects within the wider context of the RDPE. Referring to some of the ventures who will participate in today's seminar, she said: "It is crucial that we learn from these to ensure future projects are of maximum benefit to rural communities."
The Northern Rural Network is run by the Centre for Rural Economy at Newcastle University. Co-ordinator Terry Carroll, said: the seminar would look at the future of the Common Agricultural Policy and how EU rural development funding might play out in the longer term. "Above all, we need to continue to focus on how we can ensure the most efficient and effective delivery of the RDPE and ensure rural communities receive the financial support they need," he added.

Originating out of Korea approximately 3 years ago, Eyelash Extensions have become an enormous hit with women of all ages across Asia, Europe, and now North America. The reason? The eyes are the first thing people see when looking at you, as well it's what you see first in the mirror. With the extensions, your eyes appear bigger, brighter, more accentuated, and even downright sexy. Fans report looking already made up with just the customized mink lashes private label first thing in the morning, and feel no need for much makeup other than a little lip gloss.Dveeu
The process involves bonding lashes, synthetic or human hair, to your own with a special adhesive. Depending on the type of application, the lashes stay on for the life of your natural lash. Like the hair on your scalp, customized mink lashes private label all grow and shed at different stages. In general, a human lash will shed approximately every two months. Because of this, some lashes will shed sooner than others, which is why refill appointments are necessary to replace the lashes that have fallen out.
There are three different types of lash applications currently available in salons. The price range for the different types range anywhere from $25 to $500, lasting anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months. Because many places offer one type but not the others, consumers are a bit puzzled by the different claims in longevity and price. Here are the three different types simplified:
1. Flare or Cluster Lash
These are bundles of approximately 6-8 human hair customized mink lashes private label, knotted at one end, fanning out towards the opposite end. These lashes create the most dramatic effect, the fullest, most luscious lashes in the shortest amount of time. However, beware: you may not be taken seriously if you work in a corporate environment with these lashes, they do tend to look a bit fake. Because of their density, ideally they should only stay on for a week or two and be applied with a less potent, vegetable based glue. It is not advisable to keep these lashes on longer than two weeks as there may be some damage to the natural lash because too much glue is trapped between the cluster of lashes. It normally takes about half an hour to apply, the price ranging from $25 to $75 for an application.
2. Single Human Hair Lash
This lash is actually 4-6 lashes all sitting straight in one direction to mimic one single, customized mink lashes private label. The results are a bit more natural looking than the Flare application, with a look of a thick coat of mascara applied. This type of application is great for weddings and special events as it gives you a fairly dramatic look without going over the top. Human hair tends to frizz after a while, especially with frequent showers and heat. Because of this, these lashes generally last about 3-4 weeks, and up to 6 weeks with a refill. Application usually takes an hour long, price ranges from $75 – $150.
3. Synthetic Single Lash
This type is the gold standard for customized mink lashes private label applications. It is also the same type all the Hollywood celebrities are sporting. Looks can vary to fairy-like long & wispy, to full and thick, or it can be so natural looking that one cannot tell from two feet away. These lashes are painstakingly applied one by one. When done properly, there should be no clumping visible; lashes can be combed through with pointed tweezers, and will stay on until your own lash sheds. A quick application consisting of 20 lashes per eye will still take an hour, a normal application two, and three hours for a really full look. In Canada, the price range is between $135 – $350, however, in the U.S., expect to pay anywhere from $250 to $500.
Which type of application is best for you? It would depend on whether you're putting on these fun, flirty additions for an event or to wear long term. It is important that you discuss this with your technician prior to beginning the procedure. A good technician will explain to you the different types and give you a recommendation based on your needs. Beware of those who tell you that the flare applications can last you a month. It certainly can, but your lashes will not be in the same condition as before you had them on. If you are planning on wearing them on an on-going basis, then the synthetic lashes are the only type you should consider.
When choosing a technician for your customized mink lashes private label, ask them how many applications or how long they've been preforming this procedure. Eyelash Extensions is a relatively new service, so expect to hear no more than 2-3 years. Go to a reputable salon, where the environment is clean and sanitary, and beware of any place advertising Synthetics for less than $100 or that it takes less than an hour. In these cases, lashes are just randomly placed on with a large amount of glue. This creates a messy nest that will prevent your lashes from falling off naturally and ultimately ruin your own. Always remember that a single lash application should be just that – one on one, and that you should be able to comb through them with pointed tweezers. Other than the cluster applications, if you see a thick band of glue along the base of your lash line, you should have them professionally removed within two weeks or risk damage to your own lashes.

Jim Dunnigan reports on declining troop morale:
The U.S. Army, which is taking the bulk of the casualties in Iraq, is still getting more volunteers than it needs. Standards have remained high, but the numbers needed have gone up as well. With over 6,000 casualties in Iraq during the last year, the number of new troops needed this year has been increased from 72,000 to 77,000. Most of the wounded troops return to duty, but all are out of action for days, or months, or forever in the case of the dead and crippled. This is all uncharted territory for the army, as it has been over 150 years since it was in a long war with an all-volunteer force.

Pandora's Sisters (2008):
Diane Victor and David Krut Print Workshop (DKW) first collaborated in early 2008 on three large etchings. Of these works (After Eden, Lot's Wife, and Bluebeard's Wife) Bronwyn Law-Viljoen has written: "Diane Victor's work is usually described as social commentary, but what critics often miss, perhaps because her strong imagery repels the squeamish or faint-hearted before they can get a proper look, is its humour, either in the form of biting satire or revealed in the artist's wry self-deprecation. Since the seriousness of Victor's work is also, in part, a product of her extraordinary obsession with detail, viewers often need to spend time with the images to appreciate the ways in which Victor resolves the tension between technique and subject matter. A trio of prints created at David Krut Print Workshop confirms this latter observation, showing not only Victor's superb draughtsmanship and skill as a printmaker, but demonstrating her ability to strike a balance between seriousness and comedy."

You may have seen Dante in these outfits sometime in the past, but never before has he worn matching hats!
Dante has taken great care to find just the PURRfect chapeau to accent each outfit. Why he's becoming a regular fashionista!
"A pox on them!", says he.
"A real mancat kin ware anyfing he wonts!" declares Dante.
"If yoo gots 'kin' watchin' yoor back, no bodies kin hurt yoo!", he asserts.
Dante definitely does NOT identify with Tiger Woods!
"Da only tigahs I deals wif comes frum da jungull".
On the lighter side, Dante also enjoys being footloose and fancy free!
"Buttahflies may be free, but dey doan has any feet", remarks he who prefers to keep his on the ground.
Dante definitely likes to be 'in the pink' because it's a sign of good health. Of course, being totally self-PUSSessed, he wears pink with total elan.
"If 'Hello Kitteh' finks it's pretteh, is good enuff fur me!"
"Lotsa dog teef wuz used in da makin' of dis hat, but dey wuz all removed painlessly first, by da doggie dentist. I do has SUM ethicks, yoo noe!"
At the very least, those poor woofies weren't hounded to death and any tooth that was extracted was first and 'formost' mostly for the benefit of the hounds in question. (I say 'mostly' because Dante was obviously a beneficiary, too.)
So Dante's Hat Trick is very tricky indeed. As you can tell from this last case, he had to go above and beyond to find every one of them.
All I can say is "Hat's off to Dante!". You might as well give them to him because he'll find a way to get them anyway.

Effects of Polarization and Permittivity Gradients and Other Parameters on the Anomalous Vertical Shift Behaviour of Graded Ferroelectric Thin Films

We studied theoretically the dependence of the ?polarization offset? on various parameters in compositionally graded ferroelectric thin films. Our model adopts the Landau-Khalatnikov equation to describe hysteresis behavior and takes the time-dependent space-charge-limited conductivity into account to investigate the effects of polarization and permittivity gradients, charge mobilities, and thickness in graded ferroelectric thin films. We found that both polarization and permittivity gradients are requisite for the occurrence of offset phenomena. It is also found that larger gradients of remanent polarization and permittivity, a smaller thickness, and a larger charge mobility can generally enhance the effect of vertical offsets. The qualitative agreement between simulation and experiment further supports our previous notion that the asymmetric conduction current arising as a result of the composition gradient is an important factor leading to the polarization offset phenomenon.
Author's Homepage:http://people.tcd.ie/hchan
Numerical results from the time-dependent space-charge-limited conduction model developed earlier suggests that both polarization- and permittivity-gradients are necessary for the occurrence of polarization offsets in compositionally graded ferroelectric films.

My true confession should be that I can't find the plug to download my photos. I have a cool blog that I was so excited to share (well I think it's cool!). I just needed to add pictures. I guess it'll just have to wait. I hope my two followers Nicki and my mama can contain themselves and that I haven't disappointed them too much!
I sometimes write blogs ahead of time and now I know why. For days when you want to post but just can't get everything in order.
I'm trying to make it clear my love of mid-century. During that time everything was
tacky AWESOME! I love the colors, shapes, lines, I love it all!
People say I'm not an animal person and they're right. I'm bubble girl allergic to the world and the world includes animals. That being said, you won't find me at the shelter picking up strays, but you will find me at Goodwill doing that. I have an obsession with buying mid-century salt and pepper shakers that have lost their partner. So that is how I came to have my "Salt No Pepper" collection.
I have gotten a nice size collection so I have started to sell them. We took this old crate thing we had and spray painted it this teal color for display. To this day, I'm always amazed at the stuff we have around the house and what we can make it become!
I just love how cute the dog is and the eyelashes and red lips are adorable.
So that's yet another of my many obsessions! What is your "Obsession Confession"?

Lord Jenkins' political legacy
Roy Jenkins was one of the long list of "nearly" politicians who litter the House of Lords.
Like his fellow SDP creators David Owen and Shirley Williams, he was once tipped as a future leader of the Labour Party.
And for more than two decades he was a central figure in the Labour Party and Labour governments.
But for many in the party his achievements - as a liberalising home secretary, the original "Iron Chancellor" and a pioneering European Commissioner - will always be overshadowed by his decision to create the Social Democratic Party.
For them, he deliberately set out to destroy their party and, as a result, contributed directly to Margaret Thatcher's lengthy reign.
His contemporary, Denis Healey, has even gone so far as to claim that without Jenkins there would have been no Thatcher.
And there is no doubt that his "treachery", as many party loyalists saw it, had a huge and lasting impact on the Labour Party.
Many of his former colleagues never forgave him for pledging to "elbow Labour out of the way" and defeat the Tories.
They claim he helped condemn Labour to more years in the political wilderness than was necessary.
And they insist that, like them, he should have stayed in the party and argued for reform from within.
His right wing platform would always have ensured that the unions and many constituency parties would never have backed him.
So, after a time as European Commissioner, he finally broke away from the Labour Party and, along with the other "Gang of Four" defectors, created the SDP.
New Labour
Once again, he appeared on the verge of real power as, in the heady days at the birth of the new party, there was a real feeling that the new party was "breaking the mould" of British politics, as its leaders liked to claim.
But it had a short and, ultimately, unsuccessful lifespan.
They also claim that New Labour under Tony Blair is, to all intents and purposes, the party Roy Jenkins wanted to create.
And, to the continuing anger of many Labour members, Tony Blair constantly turned to him for advice during his leadership, treating him as a political mentor.
His influence on New Labour has, therefore, been immense and he thoroughly relished his role as elder statesman.
Some would even go so far as to claim he helped transform the political landscape after 1981.
Writing legacy
None the less, he more recently became disillusioned and irritated with Tony Blair for refusing to adopt his plans for electoral reform and joining the single currency.
In a display of his occasional intellectual snobbery he declared the prime minister had a second class mind.
And he could be extremely grand and dismissive of those he felt were not up to his intellectual level.
It is his parallel career as a historian and biographer that will probably provide his true legacy.
He has written some of the most incisive and readable works on big political figures such as Gladstone and, most recently, Winston Churchill.
And, while he may have failed in his ambition of leading his country, he will be remembered as a highly influential politician whose impact will long be felt.

This SITE123 review assesses all its features and functionalities holistically, focusing on specific elements that relate to ecommerce and online stores.
I've been there. And I know the feeling. That excitement after a light-bulb moment when you figure out a business idea.
Everything seems so simple and straightforward at first. Until you get to the actual implementation stage. That's when you start realizing that ultimate success is not just about fulfilling market needs. It's arguably more dependent on your entire business framework.
According to a Harvard Business School study, 75% of venture-backed startups eventually fail.
Astonishing, right?
Further analysis of various industries by Statistic Brain established that 50% of US companies don't even make it past the five-year mark. And 70% don't live through their first decade.
Pretty sad, right? Think it's exaggerated?
Well, have a look at this chart published by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Now, consider 2011, for example. More than 20% of the startups fell out within 12 months. Only 79.4% made it to the second year. And the trend continued to the third year, but much slower this time. Because about 10% collapsed, leaving 69.3% going strong. By the time they crossed the fifth year mark, only 56.3% of the businesses were surviving.
My point?
I'm not discouraging you. For what it's worth, I wish you all the best in your venture. I'm simply laying it out as it is. That starting and running a business is not as easy as it may seem at the beginning.
All things considered, the foundation you've built your business on and the entire operation framework predominantly determines its survival chances.
Now, this is where we start thinking of that one thing that comes into play when we specifically focus on ecommerce startups.
You're dead right. Yes, the website.
No doubt about it. It's the ultimate foundation for your business. How it's built eventually determines your business' capabilities, functionalities, and overall operations.
So, let's start from the top- the development stage.
What's the first thing that comes to your mind? Of course, hiring a web developer. Admittedly, it could work out for you.
But, here's the problem. You and the developer might not share the same passion. As a matter of fact, they might not even be feeling the whole concept at all.
Plus, let's face it. It's a bit awkward having a third-party build and maintain your dream business. You need something with a personal touch. And that means having your hands on deck.
That's why they came up with website builders. Because coding is a little bit too complex to learn in a couple of days. Besides, you're too busy working on your brand to worry about lessons on something you'll probably need only once.
If you've been around the block, you might have heard about several of them. Including SITE123.
So, what is it all about?
SITE123 Overview
Read that name again. Notice anything?
Yes, the whole purpose of this solution is making website building as easy as 123.
A relatively new service, to be honest. Because its history can only be traced back to 2016, when they made the big announcement in Los Angeles.
Make no mistake, however. It's yet to have the second candle on its birthday cake, but nothing about it feels like a debutant.
It came into the website building scene with its gloves already off, ready to battle its already seasoned competitors, who've pretty much enjoyed the market for over a decade now.
It's a no-brainer that SITE123 might come off as a typical website builder. But, it's more when you start looking at it in detail. It not only supports general personal sites, but also provides specialized tools for building and running ecommerce sites.
Now, let's cut to the chase. How exactly can it fit into your business strategy?
Well, this SITE123 review assesses all its features and functionalities holistically, focusing on specific elements that relate to ecommerce and online stores.
Let's dive in…
What Makes SITE123 Stand Out For Ecommerce Sellers?
We've seen many generic website builders duping users that they can also serve as online store builders. Could SITE123 be a culprit?
I don't think so. The service is seemingly giving established ecommerce platforms a run for their money. Especially when it comes to creating visually-appealing, logically-structured, and functional online stores.
Since ecommerce is pretty extensive, SITE123 has factored in quite a wide range of niches and micro-niches. It allows you to tweak your site design according to your specific field.
And you know what? The provision doesn't end at website building. It also comes with multiple tools for product management, sales, and analysis.
If you're planning to expand to multiple countries, you'll love the fact that SITE123 supports numerous currencies. Both local and international.
Fair enough. But will your entire customer base be able to pay?
Well, as long as they can access PayPal, it shouldn't be a problem at all. And PayPal, for your information, has already set up shop in more than 140 countries.
What about customers who prefer otherwise? In the rare event that someone is unable to pay via PayPal, SITE123 still supports offline bank transfer. That pretty much covers everyone.
The more your customers continue paying, the faster you'll establish the truth behind the age-old belief about ecommerce. That while new customers expand your business reach, it's the repeat customers that will actually fuel its growth.
Basically, every new customer has a 27% chance of coming back to your site for a repeat purchase. Sounds good, but here's the best part. If the repeat customer actually buys for the second time, they'll have a 45% chance of making another purchase. Then it becomes 54% after the third purchase. And it keeps increasing.
Well, SITE123 seemingly recognizes this. Because it helps you retain those customers by providing coupon management. You can create them to offer discounts to selected customers, in line with your marketing strategy.
It's now starting to look an actual ecommerce platform, doesn't it?
Now, let's look at the features in detail to get the gist of how SITE123 can maximize your online store.
The Best SITE123 Features For Maximizing Your Online Store
Flexible Designing
Let's start off with the primary function of website builders- designing and creating sites.
SITE123's approach is essentially attempting to make the whole procedure as easy as possible. You don't even have to bother adjusting your website to fit your specific niche. It offers a wide range of ecommerce categories to choose from as soon as you sign up. Each with about five to ten different themes.
Speaking of which, all the theme templates are of high quality. Unfortunately, they are not as versatile as some design gurus might prefer.
That shouldn't be a big problem, however. Because you can conveniently take advantage of the customization tools even after setting up the site. They are adequately flexible and applicable to all templates.
You can also manage the social media buttons, edit content, choose different colors, and adjust the menu styles. Just basic design tweaks.
A rather extensive overhaul, however, is quite a problem. It's not possible to shift to a different template after setting up your website. You'll be forced to create a new site altogether.
Free SSL/HTTPS
Imagine losing all your hard work to hackers because of a simple vulnerability. Perhaps something as simple as delayed payment for package renewal.
Thankfully, secure SSL encryption protocol is not something you need to pay for on SITE123. Your website is well-protected at all times, regardless of your chosen package.
This also come in quite handy in assuring customers that your website provides high-level confidentiality and protection.
Plug-In Integration
A website building solution is a pretty noble idea, to say the least. It basically eliminates the whole technical programming jargon.
But, admit it. It's impossible to seamlessly cater to the needs of all types of online stores. There are still those specific elements you'll need to personalize your website and make it exceptional.
Well, SITE123 has managed to provide just that.
By simply granting access to third-party plugins. Here are some you'll be able to integrate into your online store:
- Google Webmaster tools
- Email marketing tools
- Live support chat
- Analytics tools
Free Hosting
Yes, of course, there are paid plans with a host of functionalities. But website hosting is not one of them.
The only thing you'll actually pay for during site registration is the domain name. The rest of the hosting is completely free.
And guess what? It doesn't mean reduced functionality.
As a matter of fact, your site will be hosted in a content delivery network of secure servers. Consequently, page loading speed with be ideally optimized, since the servers are positioned in multiple locations around the globe. Your customers will be able to access content from the nearest servers.
Even with social media, 93% of all traffic comes from search engines. And no, we're not talking about Google Adwords here. Only 10% of that is triggered by paid search.
The bottom line is that organic search is still king. Without a good SEO strategy, your website is as good as an abandoned graveyard.
That's why SITE123's underlying code heavily applies SEO principles into the whole development process. The HTML, for instance, excellently embeds the required tags, and it supports automatic redirection from previous sites.
And the best part? The search engines will able to easily crawl around your webpages thanks to the additional sitemap generated by the service.
Multilingual Support
You've probably grown up speaking English, and you're used to it as the primary language.
But have you ever thought about the number of non-English speakers? Actually, only 20% of the earth's population can understand English.
Now, think about this critically. Even when the bulk of your customers come from English speaking nations, you'll still be leaving out quite a substantial number of prospects if your site is only in English.
Not on SITE123, fortunately. It supports multiple languages from all the principal web traffic zones. And customers don't even have to choose anything. The system automatically translates all the headers and sub-headers to their local languages.
Free Images and Icons
Unless your site is photography-based, taking photos is probably the last thing in your mind right now. You don't have the time to walk around, camera in hand, just to capture shots to use on your site.
SITE123 saves you the trouble by providing an extensive library of free images and icons. All stock, and readily accessible to all types of online stores.
Unlimited Webpages
You want a separate webpage for every product on your ecommerce site? Fine.
You feel like expanding your webpages for every area your business expands to? Still, no problem at all.
Oddly enough, we've seen website builders that limit the number of supported webpages. SITE123, on the other hand, takes a different approach. It only limits the storage space according to your plan.
Basically, you're allowed to squeeze in an unlimited number of webpages.
SITE123 Review: Pricing
Only two plans are available. Free and Premium. It can never be simpler.
Free provides 1GB bandwidth every month and 500MB storage. But this is only for personal sites.
Premium, on the other hand, is well-optimized for ecommerce sites. It removes the service's tag, and provides 5GB bandwidth every month, plus 10GB storage. All this for $9.80 per month.
Bottom Line
After going through SITE123's ecommerce features, we can conclude that it's a pretty decent website builder for online stores. But only for small businesses and startups.
Previously, it provided additional plans for larger enterprises. But I guess it never progressed well because of SITE123's rather limited capabilities.
Needless to say, I'm optimistic about its future. I have an unusually good feeling about this. Let's see how it continues to develop within the ecommerce space.

If you haven't already figured it out, this is our annual College Issue. While mainly intended for entering freshmen or for students transferring to a Savannah college or university for the first time, we like to think there's plenty of enjoyable and informative content in here for any active person in town.
In any case, it's certainly material you won't get from any other media outlet in town, whether print or broadcast or online.
Gracing our cover this week is the work of local photographer Carly Jurach, who regular readers will remember from our cover story on her recent "Where the Winged Things Are" exhibit at Muse Arts Warehouse.
Her models for this cover shoot are Cooper Westbrook and Madeline O'Hara.
I want to point out a small change from College Issues of years past. Previously we have made them fairly specifically school-based, i.e., a story about SCAD, a story about Savannah Tech, a story about AASU, etc. This year we've opted for a more broad-based, lifestyle-oriented approach which is more evenly directed at students of any and all local schools.
And the list of colleges and universities with a Savannah presence is quite impressive. Here they are in alphabetical order: Armstrong Atlantic State University, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Georgia Tech, Saint Leo University, Savannah College of Art & Design, Savannah State University, Savannah Technical College, South University, Strayer University, Troy University, and the University of Phoenix.
The Bulldogs even have a presence in the forms of the University of Georgia Marine Extension Service on Skidaway Island, with its Marine Education Center and Aquarium, and the Bamboo Farm and Coastal Gardens on the southside. Both are open to the public.
With no further adieu, check out all the content in our College Issue:

A Naval Criminal Investigative Service map passed out to sailors visiting Los Angeles for Navy Week gives a block-by-block guide to the San Pedro drug market.
The Navy apparently wants sailors to stay clear of certain streets that had been outlined in red. Judging from a copy of the map that appeared on Dailybreeze.com, it looks like sailors disembarking the carrier Abraham Lincoln will have to navigate between two parts of San Pedro. There's another questionable area nearby, too.
According to the website, the reverse side of the map highlighted attractions in nearby Long Beach, a twist that ticked-off the San Pedro Chamber of Commerce, which had hoped the visiting sailors would spend some money in their restaurants and shops. The chamber also didn't care for the Navy's portrayal of San Pedro as a place where drug deals are routine.
While the Navy certainly wants sailors to avoid any sort of illegal activity while on shore, isn't this map also a kind of guide on how to find trouble?

The initiative is part of the ongoing drive to strengthen and develop the tourism potential of the Dunluce Castle visitor site and create linkages between historic monuments and castles across Northern Ireland.
Following the recent archaeological discovery of a post medieval village at the Dunluce castle site, NITB sees further potential to develop the area surrounding the castle as part of the Causeway Coastal Route.
Organised under the NITB's Next Level Programme, the two-day learning journey took in the state-owned Urquhart Castle on the banks of Loch Ness, the privately owned Cawdor Castle near Inverness, and the nearby Culloden Battlefield Visitor Centre and Exhibition. The group also took the opportunity to discuss tourism models and approaches with Scott Armstrong from Visit Scotland.
Delegates included Adrian Morrow, estate manager at Glenarm Castle, Maxime Sizaret of the Causeway Coast & Glens Heritage Trust, Johann Muldoon, Manor Architects, Sarah McHugh, Fermanagh County Museum and representatives from the Northern Ireland Environment Agency and NITB.
Kathleen McBride, NITB's Destination Manager, said; "Dunluce Castle is a key visitor destination on the Causeway Coastal Route and one of the premier tourist attractions in Northern Ireland.
"However, we believe it has further stand out potential which can be maximised through the creation of both authentic and unique memorable visitor experiences and achieved by working in partnership with public, private and community sectors.
"The experiential tourism model approach is very much the new phenomenon in tourism and our main goals are to appraise how it works in the Scottish sites, which are similar in size and scope to Dunluce, and to gain experience of what is realistically achievable back in Northern Ireland.
"Comparing and contrasting Scottish best-practice facilities with ours will ultimately help to unlock the future tourism potential of the unique Dunluce Castle site."

Rock Pi 4 is an affordable single board computer inspired by Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, but equipped with a more powerful Rockchip RK3399 hexa-core processor, and selling for around $80 with 4GB RAM, Gigabit Ethernet, and 802.11ac + Bluetotoh 5.0 wireless module.
I've just come across ecoPI STARTER mini PC kit for the board with an aluminum case that can also fit an M.2 extension board to add an M.2 NVMe SSD card.
The kit comes with an aluminum housing, an acrylic cover, some screws, bolts and silicon feet, and short ribbon cables for M.2 card. The acrylic cover is designed to let the WiFi & Bluetooth signal go through, but I'm not so confident the case won't cause issue with WiFi.
It's currently sold for $16.50 on Aliexpress. You'll also need to get Rock Pi 4A or 4B for $40 and up, M.2 Extension board ($8.39), heatsink ($8.39), and your own SSD and power supply.
The video below shows how to assemble the complete ecoPI STARTER kit with an M.2 NVMe SSD. Note that contrary to the photo above, the acrylic case has some ventilation holes.
If you'd also like to add a PoE HAT to your configuration, there's another similar case with extra height and integrated heatsink called ecoPI Pro HP sold for $35.90 on the same Aliexpress store.

On June 29, 2009 McFarland and his wife Pearl were returning home from a charity fundraiser just before midnight. McFarland injured himself as he stumbled and fell down the long steps to his front door.
"Mainly it was to my knee and the front of my leg, my shin," McFarland said.
His wife called paramedics, who helped him into the house and treated him. As the paramedics were leaving, two sheriff's deputies arrived.
"All of a sudden, they just showed up, they came in here like there was a fire going on, like a gunfight was going on," McFarland said.
What happened in the following minutes was captured on a camera mounted on the deputy's Taser.
The deputy tells McFarland he is going to take him to the hospital because he may be suicidal.
"We want to take you to the hospital for an evaluation, you said if you had a gun, you'd shoot yourself in the head," the deputy can be heard saying.
McFarland says it was just hyperbole. He was tired and in pain.
The deputy orders him numerous times to get up or else.
"Stand up, put your hands behind your back or you're going to be Tased," the deputy says.
McFarland keeps refusing.
The exchange goes on for about five minutes; his wife keeps pleading with the deputies not to Tase him, saying he has a heart condition.
Then, McFarland tells the deputies in no uncertain terms to leave.
As he gets up to go to bed, McFarland is Tased. Not once, but three times.
"There's got to be a problem in terms of training and on supervising deputy sheriffs in the county; it's hard to imagine something so shocking could happen," McFarland's attorney John Scott said.
McFarland says he never had any suicidal thoughts. In fact, he considers himself lucky to be alive.
"I'm a survivor of pancreatic cancer; one of 4 percent in this country," McFarland said.
Scott says his client was arrested, jailed and charged with resisting arrest. A judge later dismissed the charge.
Scott says the deputies had no search warrant or legal reason to enter McFarland's home and even if they thought he was drunk and suicidal, Scott says the Tasing was excessive force.
ABC7's calls to the Marin County Sheriff's Department were not returned.

There are more Americans working a side hustle today than at any point over the last 20 years. But why are we working ourselves so hard?
Side Hustle Stats
A new survey from CreditLoan.com of nearly 1,000 Americans who are currently working a side hustle found the main motivating factor is cash. Whether it's a side business or a second job, 65.9 percent of those answering the survey said they work more so they can have some spending cash.
Building up savings and paying off debt were also listed as top motivating factors for working a side hustle.
Certainly, there is no shortage of side hustle gigs available right now. Sites like Upwork and Fiverr are filled with opportunities to pursue a side hustle.
And this data shows that it's likely that some of your employees are working their side hustles while they're working for you, too. CreditLoan.com found 21 percent who work a side hustle are doing it during their regular working hours.
Since their top motivation is extra money, either to spend or save or pay off debt, it's likely your employees do not feel they are making enough money from their primary job, the one you're providing.
However, there are other motivating factors, too. And not many of them point to them being content with the livelihood your employment provides. CreditLoan.com found that 23.1 percent use a side hustle to learn new skills. Another 23 percent are using their side hustle as a form of insurance in case they're laid off at their primary job.
Some of those working on the side have other motivations, too. For example, 14.5 percent are using the side hustle to start a new business of their own. And 10.8 percent said they use the income and experience to transition out of their primary job.
Side-hustling Americans are doing these extra jobs while sacrificing time with their families and sleep. However, most concerning to you as their employer, is that 13 percent are working a side hustle while sacrificing time they'd spend working their primary job.
Here are the top jobs that make lucrative side hustles, according to the CreditLoan data.

After a crushing opening game, 4-1 loss to the Perth/Lanark Wings, the South Dundas Bantam Rep Lions regrouped and battled their way back into contention with three consecutive wins for the UCMHL 2011/12 playoff championship.
Monday night, in game four of the five point series played in Lanark, they locked it up with a 6-2 victory to take the series six points to two.
The series opened in Morrisburg last Wednesday, March 21 with a tough 4-1 loss to the visiting wings.
Perth had just come off a big win to defeat Smith Falls on Monday, March 19, to advance to the league championship against the Lions, and they carried their momentum forward to the waiting Lions.
The lone goal in the series openere for the Lions came from the stick of Aaron Smith assisted by Randy Fawcett and Quinn Bennis in the first period.
Game two was played in Lanark on Friday night, March 23rd, and despite a slow start the Lions were able to put it together for a 5-2 victory.
The first period saw the Wings take a 1-0 lead on a rebound goal by Alex Echlin.
Then just six minutes into the second period the Lions were able to even it with a short-handed goal by Randy Fawcett, assisted by Andrew Jarvis.
One minute later, Jarvis struck, unassisted to put the Lions up 2-1.
The Lions lead held until the dying minutes of the frame when Quinn Bennis scored on the Lions power play with help from Randy Fawcett and Spencer Heldens to give the Lions a 3-1 edge heading into the third period.
In the third period, the Black boys combined for the Lions fourth goal when Josh Black set it up for Riley Black who beat Micheal Saumur on the gloveside.
The Wings closed the gap to 4-2 one minute later when Noah Greer slipped one past Lions goaltender Zach Frawley.
The Lions ended it when Ben Michels picked up a Riley Barry rebound for the 5-2 victory.
With the five point series even at two point apiece, it was back to Morrisburg for a Saturday afternoon game, in front of a huge hometown crowd that saw the Lions claim a 3-1 win.
Six minutes into the first period, Andrew Jarvis scored unassisted on the Lions power play.
The Lions lead, however didn't last, as before the period ended Tyler Murphy collected his own rebound to beat Frawley and even it at 1-1.
It took the Lions until late in the second period to get ahead, once again with Jarvis scoring on their power play with help from Evan Mullin.
Frawley was solid in the Lions net as the Lions worked to hold on to their one-goal advantage.
With 4:08 left on the clock Mullin counted with help from Riley Black and Randy Fawcett for the Lions third goal.
The Lions win in game three sent the series back to Lanark this past Monday night with a four points to two advantage.
Details of the 6-2 win that gave them the championship were not available at press time.

The Closest Airports to the East Bay in California
The East Bay in northern California refers to the counties and cities on the eastern part of the San Francisco Bay and includes, among many other cities, Oakland, Berkeley and Fremont. If you're planning a trip to the East Bay, you can choose to fly into and depart from several airports, including Oakland's International Airport and San Francisco International Airport.
Oakland International Airport
Several airlines fly into Oakland International Airport (flyoakland.com). These include Alaska Airlines, Allegiant, ArkeFly, Delta, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue, Sata, Southwest, Spirit, US Airways and Express and Volaris. Annually, the airport accommodates 9 to almost 15 million travelers and in 2009 had the most on-time arrivals among the 40 busiest airports in North America. The airport is conveniently located in the East Bay area for those traveling there.
San Francisco International Airport
San Francisco International Airport (flysfo.com), often referred to as SFO, lies about 23 miles from the East Bay. It is the second busiest airport in California after Los Angeles' LAX and annually is one of the 10 busiest airports in the United States.

The airport is conveniently located near three major California freeways -- the 101, 880 and 87 -- and provides travelers with free Wi-Fi in all of its terminal buildings.
Sacramento International Airport
Although a bit far from the East Bay, Sacramento International Airport (sacramento.aero/smf) -- approximately 121 miles from Oakland in Sacramento -- is the fourth closest commercial airport to the East Bay area. This is a convenient option for travelers planning to make a trip through California's wine country before heading to the East Bay.

Column: With a ballot fight looming, Gov. Gavin Newsom suggests dealmaking to revamp California's tax system
Gov. Gavin Newsom has the next four years to make his mark as California's most powerful politician but significantly less time — more like 15 months — to broker a deal that would stave off a galactic clash of political heavyweights while also making public policy history.
The deal he has in mind would result in a sweeping overhaul of the state's tax system. The incentive, he told reporters earlier this month, is a looming ballot measure that would raise commercial property taxes by a total of up to $11 billion a year. The so-called "split roll" measure removes most businesses from protections created by Proposition 13, the landmark law that limits when property values are assessed and how much tax can be imposed.
"My desire is to use this as an exercise in bringing the parties together to see if we can compromise on a more comprehensive tax package," Newsom said of the ballot measure.
It's a bold idea, though not a new one. For decades, policy analysts have lamented the labyrinth of state tax rules as confusing and unfair. A manufacturer can be taxed when buying equipment and then again on the products made by that equipment. One homeowner pays sales tax when buying a pine tree for her yard but a neighbor buying an orange tree isn't. Why? Trees that produce food for human consumption aren't taxed.

Critics say California's tax system is still based on an era in which goods, not services, dominated the economy. That provided incentive for the last big reform effort, a 2009 bipartisan commission that crafted detailed recommendations for a framework relying less on income taxes generated by Wall Street investments from the most wealthy. Its key recommendation was a "business net receipts tax," a broad tax on economic activities at a relatively low rate.
But Democrats balked, believing it would shift more of the tax burden from the rich to the poor. The panel's lengthy report was dead on arrival in the state Capitol, promptly put on a shelf where all but a few of its recommendations have gathered dust ever since.
The message ever since has been that broad tax reform simply isn't doable. That was certainly the viewpoint of former Gov. Jerry Brown who, Newsom said this month, "had no interest in this, even at the peak of his power, influence and insight."

The new governor also rejected the idea that California's tax structure had to be one or the other — progressive in taxing those who can afford it but also volatile, or stable but regressive in who pays.
"I don't see it that way," Newsom said. "I see some nuance."
Depending on which powerful groups open their war chests, the "split roll" ballot measure could easily attract $100 million or more in campaign spending. The ripple effects could last years. That Newsom can even try to broker a deal is thanks to a 2014 law that allows backers of an initiative to cancel their efforts after turning in signatures, used successfully to avoid ballot box battles over California's minimum wage and privacy laws.
Newsom denied that his past support for rethinking commercial property tax rules would keep him from being an honest broker.
"My job, if we're going to get the parties together, is not to predetermine the outcome," he said.
To call that ambitious is an understatement. The two sides in the fight over taxation are suspicious of each other's motives, and Newsom has already outlined a very expansive agenda without such an unprecedented effort. If he's serious about being a peacemaker in the tax wars, he'll need to begin his efforts sooner rather than later.

When it comes to keeping up with the hottest trends, latest best practices, and most insightful opinions, few resources are better than following industry news sites and blogs.
Marketing is developing at a terrific rate. It's difficult for even the most talented and experienced marketers to keep up with what's going on in their own field, let alone the entire industry.
But keep up you must; you can't afford to fall behind in this environment.
Luckily, there is no shortage of excellent publishers and content aggregators out there. And many of them are really, really good.

Run by Adweek, AgencySpy reports news and gossip about what's happening "behind the scenes" of the country's major agencies and brands.
While it also provides some general digital marketing news and opinions, Digiday is heavy on news concerning agencies, publishers, and platforms.

A few days ago, the Salvadoran newspaper El Faro reported that the country's steep decline in homicides, hailed as the Government's main achievement during Nayib Bukele's little over a year-long leadership, was being called into question by a press investigation which claims the success can be attributed to a pact with the 'mara' Salvatrucha gang (MS13).
The newspaper published a report, citing official documents and statements from one of the gang's leaders, which suggest the Government has been in negotiations with MS13 since June 2020, and that the pact would include electoral favours during the 2021 elections.
El Faro's investigation indicates that negotiations between the Government and the "maras" include the groups' commitment to back the current officialdom in the election next February. In return, the government has allegedly promised to repeal laws and weaken the maximum security regime in prisons if Bukele's Nuevas Ideas party gains control of the Legislative Assembly and wins the right to choose the 84 MPs and 262 local governments.
Meanwhile, according to police data, between January the 1st and September the 2nd this year, there were 829 homicides in the country. This figure represents a reduction of approximately 56% on the 1,871 violent deaths recorded during the same period in 2019.
If this trend continues, El Salvador will close 2020 with around 1,200 homicides, representing a murder rate of 18 per 100,000 inhabitants, its lowest figure since 1994.
The "maras" have been declared a terrorist group by El Salvador's Supreme Court. Therefore, as the evidence supporting the Government's alleged dialogue with the group mounts and the voices denouncing these links gain credibility, the US State Department and the North-American Congress are becoming increasingly concerned.
Despite the investigative reports, El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele, denied his government had made a pact with the "mara" Salvatrucha (MS13) gang to reduce the number of assassinations in exchange for more beneficial custodial terms. Bukele pointed out that the same people who had previously accused the Government of violating the terrorists' human rights were now accusing it of granting them privileges.
The president recalled the events of last April when the "maras" increased the daily average number of murders for several days. In response, the Salvadoran Government ordered the prisons to confine the "maras" to their cells 24 hours a day, fix metal plates to the bars of their cell doors to prevent them communicating with signals, and ensure gang members were mixed in their cells, regardless of whether they belonged to rival gangs.
However, according to the El Faro newspaper, the decision to mix different gang members in the same prison cell was later repealed following talks between government officials and the heads of the criminal organisations; an accusation denied by the Government.

Submitted by: Brenda Belongia - Shared Time Art instructor
Class: Painting 1
Exploring Culture through Paint
Lesson: Aboriginal Dot Painting
We began this project by reading and researching the history of Aboriginal Art, where it began in cave drawings and paintings, how it was used as a form of storytelling, and mapping landmarks.
We discussed the perspectives see in a variety of paintings, the various symbols that were repeated throughout the paintings, patterns, and what each symbol meant.
We looked at the similarities and differences between modern Aboriginal Art and ancient Aboriginal Artwork, the colors as well as composition and subjects. (Click on the images for full size)
We worked rather large, and seeing as the traditional art form is done as a group I paired students up to work together on one project, They were expected to collaborate together to come up with an interesting design that showed Aboriginal influence. They could do this by using the symbols discussed in class, the various patterns seen in Aboriginal Artwork, The art form itself being composed of dots, or a combination of dots and solid colors.
We used basic tempera, primary colors, as well as black and white only so they were expected to mix the colors for their composition,(we did this project right after projects on mixing the full spectrum of colors as well as tints and shades) I have small lidded containers where they simply tape their name on them if they need large quantities mixed and saved.
Students were graded not only on the quality of the work, effort, visible influence from Aboriginal works, and composition, but also on how well they worked together as partners, and each student was given individual grades as well as a group grade for this project.
All the students are told at the beginning of the school year and understand that I photograph their work for educational purposes and use them as class examples and online, and if they ever do not want work displayed this way they are to let me know, these pictures were all taken with students' full knowledge.
See also Aboriginal Bark Painting, Aboriginal Art Technology, Aboriginal Dot Painting, and Petroglyph People art lessons. (Click on the lessons below for full size)
Aboriginal Resources (See below)
I used several images compiled from online resources of both modern Aboriginal Art work and ancient aboriginal works. I also used The Scholastic Art magazine from 2001-Australian Aboriginal Artists to read through together and discuss, as well as the website: www.aboriginalartonline.com/
Book: Aboriginal Art - This is the first concise survey of the full range of the work of Australia's indigenous artists from all parts of the continent.
Book: Aboriginal Designs - With this collection of decorative patterns, borders, and motifs, those needing ideas for a project will be able to duplicate or simply be inspired by the stunning designs in this book.
Book: One Sun One Moon: Aboriginal Art in Australia - In this volume every aspect of aboriginal art is explored in detail and illustrated in brilliant color. The result is a comprehensive guide to a fascinating tradition whose significance can be fully appreciated through it.

Eurocash – the leading food retail chain on the border
Eurocash – the leading food retail chain on the border
Eurocash comprises seven stores from Strömstad to Storlien. The majority of customers are Norwegians who drive over the border to shop for the highest quality products at the best prices.
Eurocash's business concept is to be the best grocery store chain along the border, offering the best quality at prices that are always a bit lower than the competitors'.
Norwegian customers a majority
Eurocash is the second-largest food retailer along the Norwegian border. Roughly 80% of customers are Norwegians, and as a result, Eurocash stores are a bit different than other grocery stores. About a half million customers have less than a half-hour drive to a Eurocash store.
Modern and pleasant with good service
Growing numbers of customers choose to do their weekly shopping at Eurocash stores. This requires that the assortment is constantly evolving, not least in fruits and vegetables, and dairy products. All Eurocash stores have their own butchers who butcher and package all meat in-store. The ambition is to offer a modern and pleasant store environment with a high level of service.
