Open for business
Libya is emerging from the sanctions shadows and presents a intriguing opportunity for vendors and distributors. Adventurous channel players who persevere will find their patience rewarded.
Virgin territory|~|SaranSumant.gif|~|Sumant Saran, Redington Africa general manager|~|Libya has finally come in from the cold after almost two decades of sanctions. The country is awash with oil and gas money coupled with a need to invest heavily in a non-existent IT infrastructure. All vendors and distributors have to deal with is rampant bureaucracy, an in-country channel with no focus, and an economy that is still very much run by the state. Channel Middle East spoke to people who have been to the country and seen firsthand the state of the Libyan IT market and its channel. Marino The Bull Pezzotti, Acer Libya country manager; Sumant Saran, Redington Africa general manager; Hani Salw, sales manager at PC International, and Pierre Farrugia, sales director at Maltese distributor Amatech discussed the opportunities lying in wait and the obstacles to overcome. CME: What presence do you have in Libya at the moment? What development plans do you have for establishing yourself in the country? MARINO PEZZOTTI: We have two distributors for the Libyan market, Amatech and NSR. Amatech is a Maltese distributor entering Libya, while NSR is a new Libyan-owned distributor. The perspectives are different, but what you have to understand about Libya is that it was a state-run economy. At the moment it is in the transition between a state-run and free economy. You will get people from both sides coming into the channel and they will address it totally differently to derive the benefits. SUMANT SARAN: We are in the process of setting up a company, which should be completed within a few weeks. It has proved to be a very long process, much longer than imagined, and we should open our Libyan service centre soon. You can't operate as a foreign-owned direct buying company, but have to go through a local route instead. At the moment we are not taking that option, but are instead using the service centre as a foothold to support the channel through our RMA offerings, identify key business partners, and then build on that. We have been told by lawyers that the foreign ownership rules are expected to change, and we'll then be able to engage directly in the Libyan market. If all goes to plan then we hope to be operating fully in Libya by the end of 2005. PIERRE FARRUGIA: We have just established a local company there together with a Libyan partner. We have a showroom, office and warehouse in Tripoli, and are setting up an Acer service centre. Amatech has been present in Libya for the past six years, but mainly in project work and not as a distributor. We have started with Acer, a well-known brand, and have plans to increase our portfolio to become a one-stop-shop for the Libyan channel. HANI SALW: We started operations in Libya in 1999, and have a string of retail shops across the country. PC International has an in-country wholesale office, showrooms in major cities, including the two most important areas, Benghazi and Tripoli. Our retail presence and reach is the most comprehensive found in the country itself. Cme: What are the major issues facing the Libyan market? SUMANT SARAN: Government machinery is very difficult to deal with — every step takes time. We were planning to set up this company in November, and it is now February. For travel, it takes two months to get a visa. So if I want to plan a visit for April I have to apply today. There is so much red tape that you have to deal with and get past in order to operate effectively as a business. PIERRE FARRUGIA: Vendors are looking at Libya with a good deal of interest but they are still very cautious as to how to approach the market. There are bureaucratic regulations American companies have to go through before they can sell into Libya. We understand that every product's part number has to be approved by the American authorities before being shipped officially to Libya. There are some bureaucratic problems on the side of the Libyan authorities that make it difficult for foreign companies to go there and set up a Libyan operation. Vendors are saying that this is an interesting market, there is a lot of potential but let's wait until somebody else does it and then we will make a move ourselves. On the distribution side, most distis we know prefer an out-of-country approach to Libya. The local IT shops are having to play the part of importers, wholesalers and retailers, which is not helping their cause. ||**||Creating channels|~|Immagini_marino.gif|~|Marino The Bull Pezzotti, Acer Libya country manager|~|Cme: What are the challenges in building channels-to-market? MARINO PEZZOTTI: You still have issues on how you are going to get paid. No one has a real channel and you have a very limited dealer base. So how to put the right supply chain model in place is going to be a real test for whoever goes into the market. You need a flexible approach and must work with a transient business model as the country moves from a state-run economy to free enterprise. It may be a very rapid change, or it could be a slow transformation. I am placing my bets on the latter. PIERRE FARRUGIA: Logistics is one hurdle we have to surmount, as there are few delivery operators in the country. We have had to invest heavily in our own logistics setup. Libya's regulations and procedures, what is done and what is not, are also stumbling blocks in building channels-to-market. Cme: How difficult is it to find, assess and sign up Libyan partners? SUMANT SARAN: Locating partners is simple, as there are three geographical markets in Libya: Benghazi, Tripoli, and Al Bayda. The channel is there and visible, partners are keen, they want to talk and have a relationship with foreign companies. But there is a lack of clarity as to what partners want to do. You have to explain to them distribution classifications, but each company wants to be given top ranking. PIERRE FARRUGIA: First and foremost you need to know the Libyan landscape. Knowing who is who and who does what is imperative. The IT community is rather small there — they are a tight-knit group of people and everybody knows everybody. If you have some good past references it helps, whereas some bad past references will hinder your job. Cme: What is the size of the market opportunity in Libya? Which customer segments hold the most potential? MARINO PEZZOTTI: People think of oil and believe that there is going to be lots of money. Libya is different from other oil-based economies because not much oil revenue goes back into circulation due to the state's role in running the economy. So don't think there is a big marketplace because there is oil. Libya had a freeze on salaries for almost 20 years, so if you are looking at someone earning US$50 a month, then what is their ability to buy a PC? You will have key corporate accounts in the finance and oil sectors, but to develop the SMB and retail market will be more challenging. SUMANT SARAN: There is a total addressable market of 50,000 to 60,000 PCs a year. If the pace of growth continues then by this year's end, it should be worth 60,000 to 70,000 PC units a year. But at the same time, the period for closing a deal can last up to 12 months. You have to keep rebuilding the bid every three months because every time the evaluation committee sits they demand fresh quotes. This adds to the cost and frustration. PIERRE FARRUGIA: This is the million-dollar question. No official statistics are available and everyone bandies around figures, but our own estimate for PCs is 80,000 a year. The biggest portion of spending is still the oil sector and the government. But the private market is growing, especially with the influx of foreign companies who yield considerable spending power. The government is also a driving force in IT demand and recent moves show clear signs of IT investment especially in the education and health care sectors. ||**||Long-term development|~|Showroom1d.gif|~|Formula 1 - even high-end kit such as Acer's Ferrari range is available in Libya|~|Cme: How do you build brand awareness? PIERRE FARRUGIA: Marketing is relatively new. Until recently billboards or a simple advert in the newspaper were illegal. This has changed, and we are now making use of billboards and leaflet mail-outs, The main effort goes into direct marketing. We have sales reps visiting oil companies and individual businesses to push the branding message. HANI SALW: It is like anywhere else in this region — you need a continuous stream of promotions and advertising. PC International and LG have been present at every exhibition held in Libya, and also market heavily in print as well. What is important when it comes to branding is the service. What helps us is our direct touch with end-users. We know what they want, and the most important consideration for Libyan customers is service. The Libyan market desperately needs after-sales service, and this is the yardstick by which we and others are measured. The level of service in Libya at present is very low, and LG is the only vendor with a service centre in the country. Libyans want quality products, and our service centre reinforces the LG brand. Cme: How easy is it to establish logistics infrastructure in Libya? PIERRE FARRUGIA: We have had to invest in a whole system, from delivery vans all the way up to warehousing. There are some international logistics operating here, including DHL, but their main customers will always be the oil sector and foreign companies who are willing to pay a premium for delivery. We don't have that luxury in the IT sector. Cme: How do you see channel structures in Libya developing long-term? MARINO PEZZOTTI: Libya's IT market doesn't even compare to, say, Dubai's Computer Street. Outside each store you will see pallets of 486s, reconditioned corporate machines from the UK. I see a market that is a microcosm of Nigeria, where you have a sector of the population that is educated, and the wider populous who don't earn anything. If more money starts circulating within the country and general earnings go up, then the channel will develop and vendors will move in to encourage this process. You may get big tenders coming up and someone makes a lot of money, but if you are looking at the general run-rate business you need to take the long-term view. We appreciate that there are going to be a lot of trials and tribulations along the way to enable us to develop the channel. PIERRE FARRUGIA: We believe that the market will stabilise and become a standard market along the lines of other North African markets. From what we have seen with Acer, the resellers are willing to stop importing from Jebel Ali themselves and concentrate on sales. In the long-term we will see the channel developing along standard lines. Cme: What levels of IT skills currently exist in the Libyan channel? SUMANT SARAN: The level of skills is very impressive. There are plenty of technically gifted graduates from Libya's universities. Don't forget that with so many years of sanctions Libya's channel has had to be innovative in repairing old IT kit. The skills are there in the country. Cme: Which solutions and technologies will be most in demand in Libya? PIERRE FARRUGIA: Definitely wide area communication. The big gap in the country's infrastructure is communication between the peripherals of the country and its metropolitan centres. The authorities are driving the adoption of the latest communication technology, such as DSL and VoIP. ||**||In-country issues|~|Workshop1.gif|~|Amatech's Tripoli workshop: servicing the needs of the local channel|~|Cme: How important will first-mover advantage be in Libya? SUMANT SARAN: The channel appreciates a distributor willing to be on the ground supporting them, providing marketing funds and a proper service. A basic problem the Libyan market faces is lack of international warranties on products.The channel needs a service centre, to provide warranty support. Through providing a highly sought after service, we'll win over the channel before competition arrives on the scene. PIERRE FARRUGIA: It is imperative. In the long-term the Libyan customer is very loyal to products they like. However vendors and distis who do want to enter must be committed to invest, and understand what the requirements of the country are. It is not just a question of pushing your products in the market. Cme: How clearly defined is the Libyan channel structure at present? SUMANT SARAN: There is a channel in place, but it is very fragmented. Most of the channel is not focused — they will sell anything and everything. A lot of education is required in terms of how to handle IT projects with large requirements. After a period of time, the channel will settle down and resellers will begin to specialise in certain verticals. It is difficult for us to know whom to support. If a tender is issued, a retailer will approach you, a trader and also a reseller with the necessary skills for the job. We always want to support the right person but the channel is so confused it is hard to know whom to support. Cme: How do you see competition levels developing in Libya? PIERRE FARRUGIA: I have no doubt that IT vendors will eventually be present in the Libyan market one way or another. It is just a question of time before everyone realises that this country is entering the international IT arena. A lot of vendors are eyeing the country with interest at present, and many have spoken to us. But it is that commitment to invest in the country and actually put marketing funds into an emerging market which is needed. Libya is like a cake which nobody has yet tasted but everybody is looking at. Cme: How is product flowing into Libya at present? PIERRE FARRUGIA: Most products come in from Dubai. I would say at least 80% of product comes in from Jebel Ali. Small pockets come in from Europe and the rest is from the Far East. Most goes direct to Libya, although a few shipments do go via Malta. SUMANT SARAN: It takes 18 days to ship the goods by sea from Jebel Ali to Libya. Another popular route is for cargo to be dropped off at Malta, and then from Malta stock is shipped via smaller boats to Benghazi or Tripoli. There are challenges in clearing shipments. It can take up three weeks to clear a shipment. I've heard that Libyan customs have been told to be proactive with importers. If that happens then it will be a big step forward. Cme: How developed is the Libyan retail market? SUMANT SARAN: There is nothing along the lines of Jacky's here in Dubai, but I have seen one or two showrooms that have a retail feel and trained staff. But by and large you will not see many professional retail outlets. Most retailers in Libya resemble street traders as found in Dubai's Computer Street. PIERRE FARRUGIA: Very poorly. There are numerous shops all over the major cities, but unfortunately they are fulfilling multiple roles: retailers, solution providers, and everything else in between. They are trying to do too much with too few resources and in most cases failing to focus on their main role of end-user sales. It will take time before they realise the benefits of a structured channel and offering services such as warranties. HANI SALW: The retail market is full of dealers with limited spending power. They import directly from Dubai but only in small quantities. Retail is underdeveloped, and PC International is the only company that offers a retail experience which is comparable to what you would find in Dubai. The government is driving demand, much more than consumers. But we are strengthening our retail operations in Libya and are taking a high market share for LG in a number of product segments. Cme: What other issues are there in Libya for IT companies to deal with? SUMANT SARAN: One is streamlining the channel and telling resellers that this job may not be their cup of tea. The second is that many vendors do not see Libya as a serious market, possibly due to the US embargo and its effects. You may win a deal for a high-end piece of IT kit, but it takes time to receive approval for shipping. There are a lot of one-deal operators in the Libyan market who deliver anything on demand. This will change once the embargo is fully lifted and product begins to flow. We can then structure the channel, but with present limitations on trade there is only so we can do. PIERRE FARRUGIA: It is definitely after-sales service. This is what customers are looking for. They want a product that is reliable. The authorities are pushing this concept, as they want to avoid what has happened during the past when a lot of product was dumped in Libya. The government wants to avoid this, and have companies in-country that can offer warranties and a quality after-sales service. ||**||

By turns witty and profound, The Curious Enlightenment of Professor Caritat: A Novel of Ideas (the title itself is a pun), is overflowing with good things.
Caritat, a professor of the Enlightenment, is imprisoned in his home state of Militaria for the dangerous crime of spreading optimism. Sprung from prison by a former student, Justin, he is recruited by the guerrilla resistance group, the Visible Hand, to wander a fantastical domain in search of grounds for optimism and the best of all possible worlds.
Caritat travels through a range of ideologically-driven states, and many readers will recognise not only numerous strands of modern Western political thought but also the satirical caricatures of Reaganite America, Thatcherite Britain (although the predictable appearance of the phrase ´there is no such thing as society´ is somewhat disingenuously taken literally) and the former Soviet Union. In each state Caritat finds aspects of its organisation and ideals worthy of admiration but each also has grave weaknesses when measured against Enlightenment ideals which are increasingly exposed through Caritat´s experiences and his internal dialogue with Western thinkers.
Clearly modelled on Voltaire´s Candide, reminiscent of Gulliver´s Travels and adopting an approach to political discourse similar to Orwell´s Animal Farm, one might be tempted to think that Lukes novel is so rich in intertextuality that it is a ´difficult read'. Not so. Lukes´style is so fluid, his story-telling so light-handed (most of the time), so elegant, that even the most novice reader is carried through Professor Caritat´s adventures as skis glide over snow: the pages just keep turning.
If the novel has one disappointment, it is the apparently casual analysis given to the Marxist Utopia in comparison to the more satirical treatment accorded to some other political philosophies. Dismissed lightly as no more than an impossible dream, Marx and Engels avoid the acute criticism which Lukes levels at others – in particular the Utilitarians, Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. There are other flaws too – the ending seems ham-fisted and abrupt in the comparison with the lyrical nature of earlier episodes and the characterisation of Professor Caritat´s constantly off-stage children appears pointless: Justin provides sufficient audience for all Caritat´s musings. Nevertheless, the Curious Enlightenment of Professor Caritat is an entertaining and – with apologies – an Enlightening read: a readable travelogue of western political theory.

Because of my new obsession with Photoshop, Gretchen was lucky enough to get to listen to me ramble on and on about how much I love this program today at school. And she didn't even roll her eyes at me once! What a good teammate!
Chuck bought me the really low key photoshop -- not the $2000 one. Thanks, but I don't need to be able to edit nose hair in a video. It was about $150, called Photoshop Elements, and was totally worth it. Gretchen suggested some before and afters so you could see how magical photoshop is.

C/o Captain Callaghan
My dear Mother,
Many thanks for the sugar, which arrived this morning. We had enough to begin with, as Ethel got some extra in Leicester. The letter was from the Moberly, very nice and cordial. She is staying in High Savoy.
I don't think I sent off the money for Parker's bill. If not, both bill and P.O. are on the mantelpiece. Would you mind sending them off?
This is quite an interesting house. It has endless attics, cellars, and lofts attached. We have already decided that it would make an excellent haunt for Mary Rose1. I hope you got to the latter, by the way.
The weather has been pretty unpleasant. We got a lunch walk on Sunday, but on Monday it poured with rain, so we lighted the kitchen range, and did some cooking, at least the others did, the only thing I cooked was potatoes. Ethel made some lemon cheese and a baked pudding, Phyllis some pastry, buns and cake. Yesterday "Lil" came to see us. We got caught in a slight thunder storm coming home from seeing her off, and spent the evening reading Milne's2 plays out loud! Today we are waiting for visitors who don't appear to be coming, on account of the weather. Phyllis is reading out "Mrs Beeton" 3 on social matters. It's fortunate "Jack's" library is so large.
Much love to Daddie and Max. I enclose stamps for the latter. Your loving Margot.
(Set out like this for lack of space at the foot of the page.)
1Mary Rose: possibly a reference to J M Barrie's play which first appeared in 1920.
2Milne is A A Milne, author of the Winnie the Pooh books, who wrote a number of drawing-room comedies.
'Mrs Beeton's Cookery and Household Management'.
Now comes the long vacation and the next letter will be posted n 10 October 2017.

Cat Tien BON FIRE
Cat Tien was so cool! It was like the 3rd coolest place in the world. The part I liked best was the part that we had to perform a singing thing it was epic. We sang a Llama song...It goes like this...Happy llama Sad Llama Mentally disturbed llama super llama drama llama big fat mama llama and more but I do not want to write the whole thing. (^з^)-☆ Also we played a game. It was like red light green light but instead of saying red light green light he said red fish blue fish , One fish two fish. It was by Dr.Seuss!
I used to love Dr. Seuss when I was young I still love his books. Mr.Adam must have read my mind because he chose just the right thing to say when we played the game! The game was really fun. But we had to back a lot of times. I was sometimes angry. We were so close to getting into the finish line but then he guessed it. After something like 20 tries we finally got to the finish line and we won! Yippy!
The singing with no music was ok. But it kinda sounded so normal. But still natural singing was the best. The fire gave us warmth. Without the fire I would have died. Because we were doing it in the night. The nights at Cat Tien was somewhat cold. Wait never mind very cold. I was freezing my back of. The back of me was facing towards the cold night. But my front was faced towards the fire so I was ok.( In Front ) (^з^)-☆. (^з^)-☆ I loved the Bon Fire It was the best.

Cube reflection
This is my cube Reflection I hope You like it!!!!! ENJOY!!!!☺
We learned about how to subtract fractions and add fractions and what we learned there was we had to have the same denominator and and then we could subtract or add it and if the question was something like this 3/4 and 5/3 you have to do 4 multiply 3 and 3 by 4 and then you will get the same thing and then you have to multiply the the thing that was being multiplied so like this 3/4 * 3 and 5/3 * 4.
And we also did the bookshelf because we had to think about how to measure and stuff like that also cut it at an write angle and all that. We had to build an square box to think about the things.
Walkthrough the decade
Yesterday presentations, I was at this classroom. The presentation went very well at first I told them to wright specific comments but my listeners were people who didn't know english very well.
I was really petrified and scared when the people came because I was worried if they can hear me or if they can understand english. The hardest part was when I was interviewing Mr.Keller he would ask me some questions and I would not know.
It was nice though because they gave me comments and how to make it better.I proved myself I can give a presentation without getting nervous.
Edits on Ozone Poster
Dear Mrs. Jonhson,
Ways the Ozone changed the World
The Ozone affected society because it changed how people thought about space was just something that was there and that was supposed to be there and do nothing. But the Ozone changed the peoples thoughts about space. The second reason that the Ozone affected society is how it helps people live and grow food and not get UV which hurts the human body and give the human body diseases and infections. Thirdly the Ozone affected society because it had a new subject O3 which is a subject that is used in the Ozone. It has O and O2 added together and O is only 1 subject and you add 2 more which is 3 and O3 is very rare you cannot have that on earth because it is very dangerous and if you breath it in it can hurt the body.
Learning and Teaching
So today we had a to explain about a book that we read from homework and took notes so we can teach other people what we already know. We had a lot of fun when we did it.
As a teacher.......I had enjoyed it when my partner(Tracey) listened I liked it when she asked me about what a word is and I can explain it. A teacher has to also has to be a very organized on so if you can't do that you are not a real teacher.
As a listener....... I enjoyed being told what I didn't know. I also carefully listen and be quite and spoke when it was necessary. As a learner I had fun listening and feeding on the information. I had fun trying to listening and being partners. This also helped me on my listening skills.
I hoped you enjoyed reading.
see you bye!!!!!!!!!!

It was trying to explain to people who will watch my video what it's all about.
- Do you think you clearly explained your learning in your
video? Why or Why not?
No. Why? Well Because I didn't really explain it about the mixing and experiencing I just explained how we learned how to measure right amounts for drinks.
- What would you change if you did this again? Why?
I would change the pictures because The pictures do not go well with the explanation.
- What was the most important thing you learned in doing
the Process Video?
The most important thing that I learned in the process video is putting pictures and explaining what the picture has on it in writing or talking.
This is my thingy dingy!!!!?
Painting in the Style of Wayne Theibuad
I learned how to overlap on my painting. I don't I'm not use to doing it because I was taught a different way. first we did warm colors next to cool colors. I also learned that you don't need to have a full thing like a cake or a cup in your painting you can crop. I also learned that you don't need to have a grey color for your shadow you can put in a cool color for your shadow.
we also learned to paint the cake or cup with any of your surroundings.
first we made a cake with a cylinder or any of your surroundings, then we fill it with colors like warm colors next to cool colors then we then we put overpainting. I also use the color blue for the shadow I did not do a shadow because I did not want ti put any shadow in it.
The most challenging part of the painting is the overpainting Because I like my painting the way it is but they say that you need to put another color over and but I figure put the colors I like over each other and still have the color I like.
I like the part where I can decorate my cake it would look so delicious I actually want to eat it but that would make me sick which I would not want since my whole class and here is my painting!!!

In my last posting, I mentioned that I've had things on my mind over the last few days. Well, this is it: this summer I will be moving to Whitehorse, capital of the Yukon Territory.
I was offered and accepted the "Information Analyst" job on Monday, but the reality is only just starting to sink in now that we're spreading the word. We didn't tell everyone right away, because there were a few people we felt should hear the information from us, but news spreads like wildfire in a community of 600. So Tuesday and Wednesday we quietly told our close friends, clients, and colleagues. And now the news can spread as it will.
I am feeling a great sadness to be leaving Fort Liard. We have had so much freedom here, met such wonderful people, had adventures that one never has in the city. We've enjoyed having tourists stop in for lunch. We've loved having kids come by to visit us every other day, whether to play our piano, read our books, or just romp with our pets. We've had so much fun learning to make birchbark baskets, birch syrup, rosehip jam, high-bush cranberry jelly, dry fish, dry moosemeat, and more. I can hardly believe, after all the trials and tribulations, how dear this little place has become to me!
Our friends Ken and Dianne did a wonderful job of selling me on the idea of moving, as I was suffering a bit of "buyer's remorse". I'm excited about the possibilities, though. And I'm so glad the movers are going to be packing our stuff!
For you Calvin & Hobbes fans, here's the much-loved "Yukon Song" from which I take the title of my post.

City of Santa Fe v. Marquez
The City of Santa Fe (City) charged Julio Marquez with two violations of the Santa Fe City Code (SFCC), including Operating a Motor Vehicle Under the Influence of Intoxicating Liquor or Drugs (DWI). After the City rested its case at trial, the district court sua sponte ruled that the arresting officer's DWI investigation was unlawful and on that basis entered an order suppressing all evidence from the investigation, therefore dismissing the DWI charge against Marquez. The City appealed. Under New Mexico law statutes, constitutional double jeopardy principles bar the City from retrying Marquez and therefore the appeal should have been dismissed. The Court nonetheless wrote to cast light on the unintended consequences that could follow (and, in this case, did follow) from waiting until trial to consider suppression issues; to clarify that the Rules of Criminal Procedure require a motion to suppress evidence to be made within twenty days of entry of a defendant's plea, absent good cause shown; and to expand the applicable rule to require district courts to adjudicate the suppression of possibly illegally obtained evidence prior to trial, unless good cause exists for delaying such rulings until trial.View "City of Santa Fe v.

Santa Fe Pacific Trust, Inc. v. City of Albuquerque
Santa Fe Pacific Trust, Inc. (SFPT) and Bigbyte are Florida corporations doing business in New Mexico. SFPT owns land and an office building on Central Avenue in Albuquerque and leases most of its commercial space to Bigbyte. In 2006, SFPT filed a four-count complaint against the City of Albuquerque (the City) alleging that the City periodically stated its intention to condemn the Central Avenue property owned by SFPT and claiming damages for inverse condemnation and taking, deprivation of due process, and tortious interference with contract. The Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal as to Bigbyte because all of Bigbyte's claims had been disposed of by summary judgment one year earlier, making a November 2010 notice of appeal untimely. The Supreme Court addressed whether the interlocutory appeal language in the year-old summary judgment, which Bigbyte requested, should have been interpreted to mean that the summary judgment was not a final order. If the year-old summary judgment was not a final order, the Court of Appeals should not have dismissed the appeal. Based on the summary judgment language and Rules 1-054(B)(1)-(2) and 12-203 NMRA, the Supreme Court concluded that the summary judgment was a final order because all of Bigbyte's claims had been disposed of and the summary judgment did not contain express language stating that the summary judgment was not a final order as to Bigbyte. Therefore, the Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' dismissal of the appeal.View "Santa Fe Pacific Trust, Inc. v. City of Albuquerque" on Justia Law

Double Bill: Hitchcock & Psycho at Cinematheque
Date: November 10 at 7:30pm
Location: The Egyptian Theatre, 6712 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, CA
Link out: Click here
Description: The American Cinematheque presents a double bill of HITCHCOCK and PSYCHO - a perfect pairing, as the former is a docudrama about the making of the latter. Over five decades after its release, PSYCHO remains a classic horror-thriller; the old-fashioned trappings (such as black-and-white photography) add a patina that grows more glossy with time. The behind-the-scenes story is an interesting one too; the rendition here is based on a book by Stephen Rebello, which began life as a cover story in Cinefantastique magazine (unfortunately, the CFQ website has not posted the article online, so we cannot link to it).
From the website:
HITCHCOCK. 2012, Fox Searchlight, USA, Dir: Sacha Gervasi. Based on Stephen Rebello's book "Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho," Sacha Gervasi's love story for movie lovers centers on the rotund Master of Suspense (Anthony Hopkins) and his smart, discerning wife and collaborator Alma Reville (Helen Mirren) during the making of Hitch's most shocking, daring and influential film, PSYCHO. With Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh, James D'Arcy as Anthony Perkins and Jessica Biel as Vera Miles.
PSYCHO. 1960, Universal, 109 min, USA, Dir: Alfred Hitchcock. Coming off the comparatively big budget NORTH BY NORTHWEST, director Alfred Hitchcock decided he wanted to make a nice little, low-budget black-and-white film for a change of pace. This was the result, and the shock waves are still reverberating. Lovely embezzler Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) takes refuge from a rainstorm off the beaten track on a lonely California highway. Unfortunately, she checks in at the Bates Motel, presided over by young Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins), a strange fellow living with his mother in a nearby mansion. Hitchcock used the small crew from his popular TV show for this hair-raising example of California Gothic, and it remains one of the most influential chillers ever made. With Vera Miles and John Gavin.

Team Look of the Week: St. Louis Blues
The look of this week is for a team that will forever be considered an underdog. Although the St.Louis Blues finished second overall in the Western conference, they are still considered to be one of the underdogs in the playoffs this year. This look is casual without looking sloppy and comfortable without being sweatpants. This look shows that not only can you be causally presentable, but you can support your favourite hockey team whilst doing so. The jeans, cardigan and scarf all give this look its air of casual. However the tank top with the white lace bandeau pops this look up just a little. If you are uncomfortable with a plunging neckline, a cute lace camisole underneath instead of the bandeau is always an option.
As usual if you do not have these exact things you can always swap them out for similar things you own. This look is merely a guideline, mix'n'match, spice it up and make it your own. As always, if you love this look and aren't a Blues fan just change the colour scheme, scarf and pins then voila.

"The young lion was removed from 200 South just east of Main Street. The lion has been relocated and released," the Facebook post said.

Jump that shark
I love the term Jump the Shark. For anyone who has been living under a rock in the middle of a highway for the last 40 years, it is essentially when something in popular culture that becomes a parody of it's former self at a specific point in time. Or as Wikipedia describes it "first employed to describe a moment in the evolution of a television show, characterized by absurdity, when a particular show abandons its core premises and begins a decline in quality that is beyond recovery." I love that Fonzie jumped a shark in Happy Days because it's probably the most interesting thing that happened in a show featuring a character named Potsie. So today, I thought I'd list when I believe a bunch of well known artists/bands jumped the shark.
AC/DC: Casual listeners might think that AC/DC jumped the shark when Bon Scott died and he was replaced by Brian Johnson. However, AC/DC jumped the shark on the For Those About To Rock album. The reason for this is that this album features one good song (the title track) and then nine cringe inducing, innuendo laden boogie by rote numbers. This is the pattern for all their future releases – 1 or 2 good songs and a lot of crap. Obviously, For Those About To Rock was an ironic title.
The Beatles: As the late, great Bill Hicks once said, "the Beatles were so high they even let Ringo sing a couple of tunes." One minute I'm listening to the greatest band on earth and the next minute I'm wondering if the Fat Controller is going to tell Thomas off for being late again.
Bjork: Inuit throat singing.
Coldplay: By existing.
The Cult: The Cult jumped the shark when two blokes from Northern England decided to pretend they were Native Americans…
The Cure: Every self respecting Cure fan hates Friday I'm in Love (I have no self respect so I like it) because it's the point where Robert Smith went from miserable bastard to playful dandy. This song resulted in a lot of runny eyeliner and bad Goth poetry.
David Bowie: Sure he wrote China Girl with Iggy Pop for The Idiot album but isn't it a bullshit move to re-record it and make a better version than Iggy's? Dude, that's not cool. Let's Dance was Bowie's last great album and I had to spend the next twenty years saying "I hear that new Bowie album is a total return to form." I was wrong – every time.
Godspeed! You Black Emperor: They jumped the shark when they didn't release another album. Also, does Obama make their name redundant? Just saying.
Guns N' Roses: For releasing any album that isn't Appetite for Destruction.
Metallica: Some people think Hetfield cutting his mullet around the time of the Load album was the shark jump for these guys but I'm not convinced. That album did feature a song about Hetfield's Mum but it felt like a natural progression from the Black album. I think it was the Reload album which was the real venture into shark territory. One good song and a whole bunch of filler which inevitably led to a double album of covers, an album with a symphony orchestra (really?) and their career low St Anger. Good thing they got a taste for shark meat and caved into fan demands to make an old man version of Master of Puppets on Death Magnetic.
Nine Inch Nails: You get a real sense of Trent's potential to win an Oscar by his song for the Tomb Raider soundtrack. What is this shit?
Oasis: The very obvious shark jump was the release of the 7:42 second D'You Know What I Mean? as their first single off Be Here Now. Even Noel concedes that was ridiculous and he was totally high at the time. The strangest thing about this song is that the lyrics are absolutely nonsensical making the question posed in the chorus even more perplexing.
Radiohead: Thanks for the new EP. That Thom Yorke is a dancin' fool yo.
The Rolling Stones: There are many things I could point to but Mick's substance enhanced aerobics performance in the Start Me Up video marks a big swan dive across the shark pool.
Steve Albini: He jumped the shark as soon as he started using a four track. What a sell out.
Sonic Youth: Jump it? They are the shark.
U2: Many people argue that U2 jumped the shark with either with Rattle and Hum or Pop. They are wrong. From the high of Achtung Baby, they released a shiny turd called Zooroopa not long after. Apart from only having two good songs (Stay and the one about Bukowski), Bono decided to embrace his more theatrical side. It kind of worked on Achtung Baby because the whole Fly concept was essentially stolen off Clint Mansell from Pop Will Eat Itself. But on Zooroopa, he embraced McPhisto: part-devil, part showman and 100% total high school drama class fuckery. I saw them on that tour and it looked like Larry was doing everything within his power not to dive across his kit and punch Bono in the face… or maybe he always looks like that.

Dear Parents & Guardians,
Developing the Voice of our Students:
Many of you will know that one of the key priorities of my first 100 days at Long Close School is to develop strong trusted relationships with the stakeholders of the Long Close Community; students, staff, parents and the wider Cognita network. In order to be an effective leader, leaders must have people willing to follow, to roll up their sleeves and get in the trenches alongside the leader in order to drive the vision for the future forward; together.
Simon Sinek, British Author, Motivational Speaker and expert on Leadership once said, 'a team is not a group of people who work together. A team is a group of people who trust each other.' This I feel is of particular importance when developing relationships with the students of Long Close School and is an area that I have spent a huge amount time investing in over the past three weeks. Simon Sinek has a very interesting think piece on the Millennial Generation which I introduced to staff this week in our weekly meeting – well worth a look! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hER0Qp6QJNU
As Headteacher, I view one of my key accountabilities to be that as the Leader of Learning in the School. To Lead on Learning, I need to first understand the school experience from the point of view of our students and the only way to do this is to teach them, to listen to them, engage with them and develop a relationship with them built on trust and respect.
This week, I have thoroughly enjoyed eating lunch with the Senior Pupils, in particular the Year 8's. Spending time with them in a less formal setting than the classroom has not only enabled us to get to know each other as people but has really helped to shape my ideas about what is important to the students at LCS. At the start of the year, I spoke to all students in the school during assembly about my commitment to being a Headteacher and leader who listens to their ideas. They know my door is open and indeed over the past few weeks I have had some fantastic ideas coming forward. In fact, my office is also starting to feel more at home as students in Year 4 have brought me some fantastic 3D artwork for my room with their colourful Habitat models. Sharing the work of our students is something I am very passionate about and I actively encourage any student to bring me work that they are particularly proud of so it can go on display.
We will shortly be re-launching our Voice of the Student Council into both the Senior and Junior Schools and will also be inviting our Head Boy and Head Girl of the Senior School to take part in upcoming PTA meetings so that all of our students and parents are involved in the wonderful events planned by our parent committee. Our Catering Manager, Ms Tracey is looking forward to meeting with students next week to discuss their thoughts on the menu rotation, feedback and areas of improvement and to discuss some exciting theme days coming up for Halloween and Remembrance Day.
The organisation of school trips and events are a significant responsibility for our staff and indeed investment from our parents, however I hope you will join me in support of these wonderful trips which truly bring learning to life for our students. Looking at the diary, we have some very exciting trips coming up this term across the school; Lookout Discovery Centre, Weald and Downland Museum, Wetland Centre, Roald Dahl Museum, Shakespeare's Birthplace, Black Country Museum, Ufton Court, Tate Modern, Oxford and the Winchester Science Centre. These trips sit alongside our exciting special events which include National Poetry Day, Harvest Festival, Book Week, Remembrance Day and our Christmas Celebrations.
Students in the Senior School enjoyed their first Inspire the Future Talk led by Long Close parent, Mr Rob Miles. This was the start of our ongoing focus on opening doors and opportunities to students and we would be very grateful to any parents who would be willing to come to talk to our students about their work and experiences.
I am passionate about the power of Outdoor Learning and extending our curriculum offering beyond the classroom. Taking students outside of their normal learning environment provides them with the opportunity to engage in meaningful and real learning experiences which truly bring the curriculum to life. Following our Year 7 Geography Field Trip last week for a walk along the Jubilee River, I am very proud to share with our community, the work the students have produced this week in lesson as we have focused on developing our field sketching skills.
Next week, I am delighted to be spending 3 days with Year 7 and Year 8 students on our first Senior School Residential Trip to Bushcraft and I know our senior staff are really looking forward to the Year 9 to Year 11 trip to Iceland. I look forward to sharing with you next week photos and updates of our trip. I do hope the students choose to save me first as part of our survival training course! (HINT TO ANY Y7 or Y8 STUDENTS on Bushcraft).
Now that the sporting season is underway at Long Close School, we are delighted to be able to share with you each week our results from matches played this term. In developing our pupils leadership skills, we have asked our Sport Captains to write up their match reports which are shared in our weekly assemblies and will be published in our Friday Newsletters. I would like to remind our parents that they are more than welcome to attend our matches, both home and away. It is always lovely to have a strong LCS crowd to cheer on our players!

Many pupils in Year 6 were keen to represent their House (Griffin, Phoenix or Unicorn) as House Captain or Vice House Captain. They prepared presentations outlining their strengths as candidates, reasons why they should be chosen and what they will do if in the role. The pupils in Years 3 to 6 met in their Houses to listen to these and to vote for their choice of candidate.
Well done to the following pupils!:
Griffin: Aaron Lall & Ophelia Edgson
Phoenix: Aryan Sharma & Parri Gohil
Unicorn: Raheim Wahedally & Malvika Kaujalgi
Their role is to be ambassadors for their House and to encourage the children in various events and activities in order to try and win the House Cup at the end of the school year.
Ms. Field and the Junior School Team.

Are You Prepared for an Emergency? - by Sybil Sage
We learned the Heimlich Maneuver (when and how to do it), CPR (with and then without the breathing), to toss off high heels if being chased by a rapist or pickpocket, how to slide out of a plane, which alarm system to install in our homes and pets, how to launch an Amber Alert, when it's appropriate to call 911 and give Ipacac to our children, to sleep with a flashlight next to the bed if in an earthquake area and, more recently, how to handle an out-of-control Prius — though not yet told what to do if one is coming directly at us. For most other things, we turn to our nearest ER or Tech Support.
Adding to the overcrowded list, however, an article in a recent issue of Newsweek, by Raina Kelley, offered 12 ways to deal with being taken hostage, something I hadn't — even in my most anxious state — considered. The head of the New York Police Department's hostage-negotiation team advises:
1. Don't be a hero
2. Do what you're told
3. Don't speak unless spoken to
4. Get comfortable, but never turn your back on the captor
5. Don't make suggestions
6. Don't try to escape
7. Let medical needs be known
8. Be observant
9. Answer only "yes" and "no"
10. Signal the police if your captors are listening in on the line
11. Don't be argumentative
12. Hit the floor
This list should be memorized by anyone like to go on a boring date or attend a contentious family dinner.

How I use Pinterest for Meal Planning
Honestly one of the biggest chores of married life is having to create our weekly menu, go grocery shopping, and cook every night after work. We've tried subscription boxes and they're great when you're feeling lazy but you have to plan in advance to schedule their delivery and they can get a bit costly. I usually find I can get five meals (with leftovers) from a $60 grocery bill versus paying the same price to have just three delivered. In the past, I've used the May Designs Meal Planner Journal to plan our meals but I thought I'd share my most recent method... Pinterest!
1. Create Recipe Boards by Category
I use a few main recipe boards: Food, Healthy Bites, and the Fancy Dinner Party. They're all pretty self-explanatory. Some people like to break things down even further (think soups, salads, chicken, pasta, etc.) but I find that to be unnecessary now that Pinterest allows you to search your own pins.
2. Narrow Down Your Recipes
Figure out what you're in the mood for this week. You can search all of Pinterest or just your pins. We typically eat "theme days" (pasta, Mexican, Chinese, Indian, seafood, and pizza) but I don't stick to the same rotation.
3. Pin Your Recipes to a Secret Board
It doesn't actually have to be a secret board, but once I find something I want to cook, I pin the recipe to a secret board called "This Weeks Menu" so that it's easy to find.
4. Write a Shopping List
Once I have all my recipes saved to my secret menu board, I write down all the ingredients I will need to create a shopping list for the grocery store. On most recipe pins from big bloggers, you can click the image and the ingredients will be listed below it. I organize my shopping list by where the items are located in the grocery store to make my trips quicker. You can also print your Pinterest board for quick reference or to add as a page to your planner.
5. Cook, Enjoy, and Save for Later
After I cook my meals for the week, I move the pins from my "This Week's Menu" board back to one of my main food boards. You can also do this after each meal to make room on your board for new meals. Sometimes I use the "tried it" button to keep track of recipes I liked a lot.
I hope you found this tutorial helpful! What are your tips for easy meal planning?

About this Product
"When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge."
– Tuli Kupferberg
Break the Cycle is a piece dedicated to an extended family member of mine. At her young age, she shouldn't have to question her existence in the world. She shouldn't also make the decision to try to erase herself from it. She is an angel who has an uphill battle in life ahead of her. She will need to do everything she can to not get dragged down into the sins she was unfortunate to have been born into.
She will fly, but she'll have to fight as hard as she can to make that happen. It would mean everything to see the next generation born into this world break away from the bullshit their parents forced them into.
- This piece is printed on high quality, thick matte Card Stock, and is available as an 11″x17″ Print. It comes shipped in a poly bag and carefully packaged flat in a cardboard box.
- Image may vary in color on screen versus the print, depending on browser and monitor settings.

On April 21, 2015, the Richmond Times-Dispatch published "Impact Makers gifts ownership to two local philanthropies." The article discusses the announcement Tuesday of a change of ownership for Impact Makers, aimed at perpetuating the company's original social mission.
"It is truly rare that a business would give away its economic value to help the community, but that is what Michael Pirron and Impact Makers did," said Terri Lovelace, senior vice president for community investments and impact at Virginia Community Capital.

awrence Sullivan is a professional magician based in Hong Kong. He has dazzled countless audiences across the world with his subtle charm and finesse. Decades of practice have earned him the respect of other magicians and the public alike. His international upbringing has instilled in him a cultural awareness of his audiences that not many of his peers possess; language, therefore, is no barrier.
In any ambiance, Lawrence is able to captivate audiences with his friendly and witty demeanor. By demonstrating his sheer skill and exuding a unique charm, Lawrence can take even the most skeptical of spectators and convert them into trusting and wide-eyed believers. He loves skeptics, and he even lets them know it!
Slowly building his repertoire through classic texts on magic such a Expert Card Technique and Card College, he learned the basics of misdirection and deception. Magic's ability to create unparalleled awe and wonder is what inspires him to continue performing. From his childhood until now, his fascination with the secret and difficult art of card and close-up magic still continues.
When not practicing magic, Lawrence enjoys tennis, billiards, tinkering, photography, and hypnotizing chickens (chicknotism).
Magic is a unique and eclectic art that demands extensive knowledge of multiple disciplines. For example, a concert pianist must have nimble fingers and an aptitude for rote memory; however, he or she may not necessarily require finely tuned speaking or social skills. On the other hand, a skilled magician needs to be, among other things, an actor and entertainer. He must possess a deft mind and dexterous fingers, all while having a charming and engaging personality. These traits are often at odds with the methods in which a magician learns and hones his skills; practice and study typically require a quiet location and an analytical and patient mind.
"Magic is an art that takes a
lifetime to master, and then some."
-Lawrence Sullivan

Title: Fletch and the Man Who
Author(s): Gregory Mcdonald
Publisher(s): Grand Central Publishing
Pages: 250
Year: 1988
Format: EPUB
Language: English
The random article:
"This is to be a major speech," the governor said. "The theme is to be that I want to promote international meetings, most definitely including all the nations of the Third World, to reach international agreements for further, universal development and control of the new technology of communications." The governor was speaking extremely slowly. Nolting was writing down his instructions word for word. "My point being not to control the new technology, but to draw up a sort of international constitution guaranteeing that no one—no nation, no political party, no group—gets to control too large a share of the new technology."
"Isn't that all rather statesmanlike?" Dobson asked.
The governor glowered at him. "Do your best, Paul."
In a lighter tone, Nolting asked, "Shall we use such phrases as 'to encourage the peace, and increase the prosperity of all nations'?"
"Has a nice ring to it," the governor said wryly. "I'm afraid you'll have to try coming up with a phrase or two of my own."
"Dad," Walsh said, "you're on 'Q. & A.' from New York in the morning. That's national television exposure. Plus an intelligent, more than usually thoughtful Sunday morning audience. If you want to hit a big idea like this, wouldn't you be better off hitting it on 'Q. & A.' than at a noisy rally at the state capital the night before election?"
"Maybe." The governor thought. "Always a good idea to save the big guns until last. The 'Q. & A.' audience is a good audience."
"For statesmanlike statements," Dobson said.
"So telegraph your punch," Fletch said.
"Yeah," the governor said. "On 'Q. & A.' I'll indicate I'm not through with that topic, that Upton, Graves, the President didn't respond fully or accurately, and that I'll have something more to say on it Monday night."
Barry Hines nodded. "People should listen."
"Speaking of full and accurate response to the Winslow speech," Walsh said, " Q. & A.' goes on the air at eleven o'clock. We have you scheduled to attend service at the Thirty-sixth Street Church at nine o'clock. While you and Fletch were doing that talk show this afternoon, Barry and I rigged up press coverage for your appearance at the church. By the way, Fletch," Walsh said, "do not go to church with Dad."
"You're telling me not to go to church?"
"Don't want anything like a press representative escorting Dad into church. You get the idea."
"I'm being told not to go to church."
"When do I sleep?" the governor asked.

So I just rewatched Cabin in the Woods and I was getting some serious Foundation vibes from it. [SPOILERS if you missed the summary] I mean, an international clandestine group holds a bunch of monsters in containment and goes through crazy and specific procedures in order to protect the rest of humanity. That's the story of pretty much all of the good skips on here! There's obviously some differences because the movie isn't actually about the Foundation, but there are enough similarities that with some pretty minor changes it could fit in really well with the rest of the stories on here. Am I just seeing things that aren't there or is it actually really similar?

Michael Howard writes in today's Guardian:
US military commanders are planning to pull back their troops from Iraq's towns and cities and redeploy them in four giant bases in a strategy they say is a prelude to eventual withdrawal.It is a more centralized way to bury our dead.
