Investment – 1, 00,000 to 3, 00,000
ROI – 1 year to 3 years

The initial investment includes cost of rental space, a PC with internet connection, base phone, and others, salary for human resource, web site and so on. Your business aim is to enable your customers to promote their business in the search engine and gain more traffic to their websites.

Investment – 50,000 to 75,000
ROI – 1 year to 3 years
Hyderabad is one of the numerous places in India where many tourists visit each year. Beginning from natural life safari to touring, tourist always looks for professional trip guides who organize vehicles, plan their trip around and also give exciting information about each site. It is an very interesting service to start as a business. You have to control all parts of the trip plan beginning from booking hotels based on the client's specification to giving all related information about tour destination. The initial investment includes a couple of binoculars, sleeping bags, camping equipment and so on. If you can build your own website representing all your service details, that would be an added asset to this business.
4. Event management
Investment– under 10,000
ROI: one year
Hyderabad is renowned for its ever-charming party people. Beginning from a formal corporate party to weddings, people are searching for productive event managers. Do you have a good network of food providers, decorators, seats and other seating courses of action rentals, music symphony, housekeeping service, makeup artist and so on?

Large turnout for funeral of slain State Trooper
Trevor Casper, 21, killed in bank robbery shootout
Representatives of law enforcement agencies from across the country gathered in Kiel Sunday for the funeral of a trooper killed in the line of duty.
Watch the video report on mobile
Trevor Casper, 21, was killed during a bank robbery. It was his first solo patrol.
The visitation at Kiel High School drew thousands of supporters. Some arrived in busloads.
"It's so difficult. He's got two sisters. He's got a young lady he's been with for a while. His mom and dad are just super people and I got to tell you, right now they are very proud of their son," Wisconsin State Patrol Superintendent Steve Fitzgerald said.
Fitzgerald said he remembers Casper from visits he does with new academy members.
"I'm very confident that he was well prepared to be a trooper," he said.
Ashley Novak went to college with Casper.
"It's hard to think that Trevor of all people is one to pass away and so soon, so young in his career. Like I said, he was a hard worker and so dedicated and to think just starting off to end so drastically is very heavy," Novak said.
A Marinette County man who police believe was killed by the same gunman hours before the deadly shootout will be laid to rest later in the week.
Thomas Christ, 59, was found dead. Police said they believe Steven Snyder shot Christ after robbing a nearby bank.
The State Justice Department is investigating.

Don't tinker with date of Cal-Stanford game
Growing up in the Bay Area, attending the Stanford-Cal football game was always the highlight of the football season.
It was a rabid rivalry, always well attended, and I never heard of any real problems in terms of the fans getting out of line.
The game has always been played in November, either the next-to-last or last game of the season, until this year. The game was played yesterday and Stanford slammed Cal in Berkeley, 21-3. It was tough to watch if you were a Cal fan.
What's up with that? What idiot is making out the Pac-12 schedule these days? According to reports this isn't a permanent thing, but it doesn't make it right.
The week before the Pac-12 championship game should be USC-UCLA, Cal-Stanford, Oregon-Oregon State, Arizona-Arizona State and Washington-Washington State. No exceptions. Colorado and Utah? Who cares? Those two schools are just taking up space, and really don't belong in the Pac-12. They were added so the Pac-12 could have a championship and get more revenue.
Carson added another loss to what has already been a disappointing season. The 21-14 defeat to Manogue was a tough one to swallow because you'd have a hard time convincing me the Miners were the better team and deserved to win, and those of you who know me would never accuse me of being a homer.
Carson, 4-4, committed way too many penalties, and a couple of them were by guys who need to start playing disciplined football.
The last penalty called on Carson? In my mind if the guy defending Matt Nolan wasn't the guy that was picked off the flag should have stayed in the pocket of the official. Officials should never decide games, players should decide games. Where Garrett Schafer threw the ball no defender was going to touch it, and the game was headed to overtime.
Carson, if it gets by Douglas on Thursday, will get a fourth seed. The Tigers or the Senators would end up playing either Reed, Reno or Spanish Springs on the road.
Reed is 4-0 and faces Spanish Springs, 3-1, on Thursday. Reno is done at 4-1. There is a potential of a three-way tie for first in the High Desert if Spanish Springs tops Reed on Thursday. That would leave Reed, Reno and Spanish Springs at 4-1.
Nevada Day weekend is right around the corner, and I wonder every year why the Carson-Douglas football game isn't played on Saturday right after the parade.
The game should be part of the community celebration. Granted the game is always well attended, but a Saturday afternoon game might drive the attendance up even more.
If you are a San Francisco Giants fan, you have to like their situation.
The Giants are down 3-2, but they have Ryan Vogelsong, Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner ready to go, and they are coming back home.

Canada's federal court on Monday formally prohibited Canadian importers from registering wine produced in Judea and Samaria as "Made in Israel," claiming the statement was not true.
Israel's Kan public broadcasting network diplomatic affairs journalist Amichai Stein reported the Canadian court ruled that labels on wines saying they are "products of Israel" are "false, misleading and deceptive."
#BREAKING: Canada's Court rules that Israeli wines produced in West Bank settlements can no longer be labelled as "Made in Israel" saying its "false, misleading and deceptive" pic.twitter.com/9SB1He6GIk
— Amichai Stein (@AmichaiStein1) July 29, 2019
The court was also unwilling to determine exactly how "Settlement Wine," as it was referred to, should be labeled. "That is a matter for the CFIA," (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) the court said, and referred the case back to the CAO (Chief Administrative Officer) for "redetermination."
The continuation of this article below is by Ariel Ben Solomon and Jackson Richman (JNS)
Canadian Jewish and pro-Israel groups immediately responded to the decision.
"The Canadian Jewish community is very disappointed in today's ruling. Claiming West Bank wines can't be labeled 'Made in Israel' effectively endorses the anti-Semitic BDS campaign," said Friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Center president and CEO Avi Benlolo.
Shimon Koffler Fogel, president and CEO of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, said, "Following a preliminary review of the court's ruling, CIJA believes there are substantive errors in the judgment. Current labeling practices are fully consistent with the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement, as well as Canadian and international law. This is why we are urging the Government of Canada to appeal this misguided ruling."
"The ruling is wrong as a matter of international law and hopefully the Canadian government will challenge it. The Canadian free trade agreement clearly makes products from Judea and Samaria part of Israeli customs territory," Eugene Kontorovich, director of international law at the Jerusalem-based Kohelet Policy Forum, told JNS. "And Canada labels wines from occupied Nagorno-Karabakh 'made in Armenia' – so this looks like another special rule for just the Jewish State."
"The sole basis of the ruling was that made in Israel labelling confuses consumers," he added. "But the court sided absolutely no evidence that any substantial number of consumers who might care one way or another about a product's origin in Judea & Samaria are unaware of that fact."
"In our view, it is reasonable and not at all misleading to label wines produced by Israeli citizens in Israeli-controlled territory as 'Products of Israel,' " B'nai Brith Canada CEO Michael Mostyn told JNS, adding that his organization "will be asking the Attorney General to appeal this decision since we cannot do so as interveners."
"The court's decision does not give any instruction as to how these wines should be labeled, and B'nai Brith will be making submissions to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) in that regard," he continued. "The decision explicitly did not find that there is anything illegal about Israeli settlements east of the Green Line or wines produced there, despite the applicant attempting to argue this point. B'nai Brith intervened in the case to argue that there is nothing illegal about these Israeli communities in the Jewish homeland, so we see that part of the decision as a silver lining."

- Above is video of new WWE Cruiserweight Champion Kalisto backstage at RAW after his big win over Enzo Amore in the main event of last night's show. With his mask off and back to the camera, Kalisto dedicates the win to WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero, who would have celebrated a birthday on Monday. Kalisto then put his mask on and said that he knew one day he would be Cruiserweight Champion and that he's not dropping the title for a very long time. He goes on and says he wants to display his art, give opportunities to those who deserve it and fight the best. Now that Enzo isn't champion, Kalisto says he gets to show the beautiful art that the cruiserweights have but now he's enjoying his moment.
- Sports Illustrated has an in-depth look at ESPN's 30 For 30 special on WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair at this link. The special premieres on Tuesday, November 7th at 10pm EST on ESPN. The preview confirms that the special features interviews with Ricky Steamboat, Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Sting, The Undertaker, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Jim Ross, Flair's first wife Leslie Jacobs, all three of Flair's living children and others. A total of 46 people were interviewed for the documentary. Director Rory Karpf noted that the content he got from Steamboat, Michaels and Hogan was "particularly compelling." Karpf also noted that the only people from the wrestling world that he wanted for the film but failed to land were The Rock, Paul Heyman and Steve Austin.
The special also features multiple interviews with The Nature Boy himself. Filming with Flair took place over a two-year period. Filming began in September 2015 and post-production ended this month. Karpf noted that Flair's recent hospitalization will be addressed in a director's statement that will run as an intersitial between segments. Karpf screened the film for Flair several weeks ago while he was recovering in an Atlanta hospital. Flair is planning on being at the premiere in Atlanta next month. Karpf said, "He really liked it a lot and feels it is an honest portrayal of him. It has the good, the bad and the ugly."

GRRL PAL- Suggest
I get weird vibes from this track. And by "weird vibes" I mean that I think it sounds like an Imogen Heap slow-burn cover of Mark Cherry's "Getaway" (aka that obscure, satirical pop song from Arrested Development season 4). Yeah, ppl. When I said "weird vibes" I seriously meant odd AF. Sry, I'm weirder than a sexually-frustrated Nick and Jess, but I think my observation is accurate nonetheless:
"Suggest" is GRRL PAL's latest and it's a little slice of swirly, dream-pop heaven. Jay Le Kat's wispy vocals float weightlessly over the synergy of Danny K's production work. The synth is warped and muted but in like a semi-psycedelic way. Like I feel like this song would be part of the soundtrack to a Tim Burton movie if Tim Burton ever decided to take a stab at making a John-Hughes-styled rom-com. Again, weird thought, but what kind of commentary did you expect from a blog named Tunes4Loons, really?

East Village, Houston Street to East 14th Street, and the East River toBowery.
East Village Information:
The East Village is a neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in New York City which lies east of Greenwich Village, south of Gramercy and Stuyvesant Town, and north of the Lower East Side. Within the East Village are several smaller neighborhoods, including Alphabet City and The Bowery.
The East Village area was once generally considered to be part of the Lower East Side, but began to develop its own identity and culture in the 1960s, when many artists, musicians, students and hippies began to move into the area, attracted by cheap rents and the base of Beatniks that had lived there since the 1950s. The East Village neighborhood has become a center of the counterculture in New York, and is known as the birthplace and historical home of many artistic movements, including punk rock and the Nuyorican literary movement. The East Village has also been the site of protests and riots.
The East Village is still known for its diverse community, vibrant nightlife and artistic sensibility, although in recent decades gentrification has changed the character of the neighborhood somewhat.
East Village Boundaries
Definitions vary, still the East Village is considered to be the area east of Broadway and the Bowery to the East River, between 14th Street and Houston Street.
East Village Evolution into a new neighborhood:
According to the New York Times, a 1964 guide called Earl Wilson's New York wrote that "artists, poets and promoters of coffeehouses from Greenwich Village are trying to remelt the neighborhood under the high-sounding name of 'East Village.'"
Newcomers and real estate brokers popularized the new name, and the term was adopted by the popular media by the mid-1960s. In 1966 a weekly newspaper, The East Village Other, appeared and the New York Times declared that the neighborhood "had come to be known" as the East Village in the June 5, 1967 edition.
Until the mid-1960s, the area was simply the northern part of the Lower East Side, with a similar culture of immigrant, working class life. In the 1950s the migration of Beatniks into the neighborhood later attracted hippies, musicians and artists well into 1960s. The area was dubbed the "East Village", to dissociate it from the image of slums coined by the Lower East Side.
East Village music scene develops:
In 1966 Andy Warhol promoted a series of multi-media shows, entitled "The Exploding Plastic Inevitable", and featuring the music of the Velvet Underground, in a Polish ballroom on St. Marks Place. On June 27, 1967, the Electric Circus opened in the same space with a benefit for the Children's Recreation Foundation whose chairman was Bobby Kennedy). The Grateful Dead, The Chambers Brothers, Sly & the Family Stone and the Allman Brothers were among the many rock bands that performed there before it closed in 1971.
On March 8, 1968 Bill Graham opened the Fillmore East in what had been a Yiddish Theatre on Second Avenue at East 6th Street. The venue quickly became known as "The Church of Rock and Roll", with two-show concerts several nights a week. While booking many of the same bands that had played the Electric Circus, Graham particularly used the venue – and its West Coast counterpart to establish new British bands like The Who, Pink Floyd, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, and Led Zeppelin. The Fillmore East also closed in 1971.
CBGB, the nightclub considered by some to be the birthplace of punk music, was located in the neighborhood, as was the early punk standby A7. No Wave and New York hardcore also emerged in the area's clubs. Among the many important bands and singers who got their start at these clubs and other venues in downtown Manhattan were Madonna, Patti Smith, Arto Lindsay, the Ramones, Blondie, Television, Talking Heads, the Plasmatics, Glenn Danzig, Sonic Youth, the Beastie Boys, Anthrax, and The Strokes.
Some icons of the punk scene remained in the neighborhood as it changed. Richard Hell lives in the same apartment he has lived in since the 1970s, and Handsome Dick Manitoba of The Dictators owns and reigns over Manitoba's bar on Avenue B.
East Village The art scene:
Over the last 100 years, the East Village, and the Lower East Side, have contributed significantly to American arts and culture in New York. The East Village neighborhood has been the birthplace of cultural icons and movements from the American gangster to the Warhol Superstars, folk music to punk rock, anti-folk to hip-hop, advanced education to organized activism, experimental theater to the Beatnick Generation and the community of experimental musicians, composers and improvisers now loosely known as the Downtown Scene.
Club 57, on St. Marks Place, was an important incubator for performance art and visual art in the late 1970s and early 1980s; followed by Now Gallery, 8BC and ABC No Rio.
During the 1980s the East Village art gallery scene helped to galvanize a new post-modern art in America; showing such artists as Kiki Smith, Peter Halley, Keith Haring, Stephen Lack, Greer Lankton, Joseph Nechvatal, Nan Goldin, Jean-Michel Basquiat, David Wojnarowicz, Rick Prol, and Jeff Koons.
East Village Decline of the art scene
From 2004 until 2009, the art gallery American Painting, located on East 6th St., between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, exhibited the works of several New York and American artists, namely, Andrei Kushnir, Michele Martin Taylor, Carol Spils, Barbara Nuss, Joachim Marx, Stevens Jay Carter and Michael Francis. One of their last exhibits, "East Village Afternoon," depicted local interiors, exterios, and scenes of the changing neighborhood. The East Village's performance and art scene has declined since its heyday in the 1970s and 1980s. One club that had opened to try to resurrect the neighborhood's past artistic prominence was Mo Pitkins' House of Satisfaction, part-owned by Jimmy Fallon of Saturday Night Live. It closed its doors in 2007, and was seen by many as another sign of the continued decline of the East Village performance and art scene, which has shifted in part to Williamsburg in Brooklyn. Rapture Cafe also shut down in April 2008, and the neighborhood lost an important performance space and gathering ground for the gay community. There are still some performance spaces, such as Sidewalk Cafe on Avenue A, where downtown acts find space to exhibit their talent, and the poetry clubs.
East Village Rent Musical: The East Village is the setting for Jonathan Larson's musical Rent which captures the neighborhood in the early 1990s; it opened at the New York Theater Workshop in February 1996. Rent describes a city devastated by the AIDS epidemic, drugs and high crime, and follows several characters in their efforts to make livings as artists.
East Village Socio-Cultural Changes:
This process, called gentrification, has occurred in SoHo and TriBeCa and has started in Williamsburg in Brooklyn has often been the pattern in Manhattan, a neighborhood which is "discovered" by artists and bohemians and then becomes "hip", will often begin to attract more affluent residents, which drives up the price of housing, and begins to drive out some of the very people who "turned over" the neighborhood. Over the course of time, it begins to change the essential character of the neighborhood, which becomes safer, more comfortable and less "edgy".
East Village New York University:
NYU has often been at odds with residents of both the East and West Villages; urban preservationist Jane Jacobs battled the school in the 1960s."She spoke of how universities and hospitals often had a special kind of hubris reflected in the fact that they often thought it was OK to destroy a neighborhood to suit their needs," said Andrew Berman of the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation. Along with gentrification, the East Village has seen an increase in the number of buildings owned and maintained by New York University, particularly dormitories for undergraduate students, and this influx has given rise to conflict between the community and the university. St. Ann's Church, a rusticated-stone structure with a Romanesque tower on East 12th Street that dated to 1847, was sold to NYU to make way for a 26-story, 700 bed dormitory. After community protest about the destruction of the church, the university promised to protect and maintain the original facade which it did, literally by having it stand alone in front of the new building, which is the tallest structure in the area. NYU's destruction or purchasing of many historic buildings – such as the Peter Cooper Post Office – have made it symbolic of change that many long-time residents fear is destroying what made the neighborhood interesting and attractive. "I live on Avenue B and 9th Street", an NYU student said. "I know I'm part of the problem - gentrification that is. But where am I supposed to live?"
Neighborhoods within the East Village: The East Village contains several smaller vibrant communities, each with their own character.
Alphabet City name comes from Avenues A, B, C, and D, the only avenues in Manhattan to have single-letter names. It is bordered by Houston Street to the south and 14th Street to the north. Some landmarks with Alphabet City include Tompkins Square Park and the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. Alphabet City comprises nearly two-thirds of the East Village, and was once the archetype of a dangerous New York City neighborhood. Its turn-around was cause for The New York Times to observe in 2005 that Alphabet City went "from a drug-infested no man's land to the epicenter of downtown cool."
Loisaida is a term derived from the Latino, and especially Nuyorican, pronunced "Lower East Side". The term was originally coined by poet/activist, Bittman "Bimbo" Rivas in his 1974 poem "Loisaida". Loisaida Avenue is now an alternative name for Avenue C in the Alphabet City neighborhood of New York City, whose population has largely been Hispanic (mainly Nuyorican) since the late 1960s.
St. Marks Place Eighth Street becomes St. Marks Place east of Third Avenue. It once had the cachet of Sutton Place, and was known as a secluded rich enclave in Manhattan, but by the 1850s had become a place for boarding houses and a German immigrant community. It is named after St Mark's Church in-the-Bowery, which was built on Stuyvesant Street but is now on 10th Street. St. Marks Place once began at the intersection of the Bowery and Stuyvesant Street, but today the street runs from Third Avenue to Avenue A. Japanese street culture and a Japanese expatriate scene forms in the noodle shops and bars that line the street, also home to an aged punk culture and CBGB's new store. It is home to one of the only Automats in New York City (it has since closed).
St. Marks Place is along the "Mosaic Trail", a trail of 80 mosaic-encrusted lampposts that runs from Broadway down Eighth Street to Avenue A, to Fourth Street and then back to Eighth Street. The project was undertaken by East Village public artist Jim Power, known as the "Mosaic Man".
Today, the Bowery has become a boulevard of new luxury condominiums. It also is home to the Amato Opera and the Bowery Poetry Club, contributing to the neighborhood's reputation as a place for artistic talent. Artists Amiri Baraka and Taylor Mead hold regular readings and performances in the area.
The redevelopment of the avenue from flophouses to luxury condominiums has met with resistance from long-term residents, who agree the neighborhood has improved, but that its unique, gritty character is also disappearing.
The Bowery, former home to the punk-rock nightclub CBGB, was once known for its many homeless shelters, drug rehabilitation centers and bars. The phrase "On The Bowery", which has since fallen into disuse, was a generic way to say one was down-and-out.
The Bow'ry, The Bow'ry!
They say such things,
and they do strange things
on the Bow'ry —From the musical A Trip to Chinatown, 1891
East Village Parks and green areas
East River Park The park is 57 acres that runs along the Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive from Montgomery Street to East 12th Street. It was designed in the 1930s by Robert Moses, who wanted to ensure there was parkland on the Lower East Side.
Community gardens There are reportedly over 640 community gardens in New York City—gardens run by local collectives within the neighborhood who are responsible for the gardens' upkeep, and an estimated 10 % of those are located on the Lower East Side and East Village alone.
East Village Tompkins Square Park is a 10.5 acre (42,000 m²) public park in the Alphabet City section of the East Village neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. It is square in shape, and is bounded on the north by East 10th Street, on the east by Avenue B, on the south by East 7th Street, and on the west by Avenue A. St. Marks Place abuts the park to the west.
East Village Tower of Toys on Avenue B:
Designed by landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh, the garden opened in May 2008 as part of the New York Restoration Project and is designed to teach children about plants. Located at 603 East 11th Street, the Toyota Children's Learning Garden is not technically a community garden, but it also fails to fit in the park category.
The Avenue B and 6th Street Community Garden is one of the neighborhood's more notable for a now removed outdoor sculpture, the Tower of Toys, designed by artist and long-time garden gate-keeper, Eddie Boros. Boros died April 27, 2007. The Tower was controversial in the neighborhood; some viewed it as a masterpiece, others as an eyesore. The tower appeared in the opening credits for the television show NYPD Blue and also appears in the musical Rent. In May 2008, it was dismantled. According to NYC Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe, the tower was rotting in sections that made it a safety hazard. Its removal was seen as another symbol of the fading past of the neighborhood.
East Village New York City Marble Cemetery:
The cemetery East Village is located in two different sites on 2nd Street between 1st Avenue and 2nd Avenue they are open the fourth Sunday of every month. The first and more prominent is the City cemetery, which is second oldest non-sectarian cemetery in New York City. The cemetery was opened in 1831 and at one point contained ex-U.S. President James Monroe. It sits next to the oldest public cemetery in New York City not affiliated with any religion, the "New York Marble Cemetery."
The East Village neighborhood was 35% Asian, 28% non-Hispanic white, 27% Hispanic and 7% black. According to 2000 census figures provided by the New York City Department of City Planning, which includes the Lower East Side in its calculation.
The late poet Allen Ginsberg, who lived and died in the East Village, attended the ceremony onn October 9, 1966, in which A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, held the first recorded outdoor chanting session of the Hare Krishna mantra outside of the Indian subcontinent at Tompkins Square Park. This is considered the founding of the Hare Krishna religion in the United States, and the large tree close to the center of the Park is demarcated as a special religious site for Krishna adherents.
Some Roman Catholic churches in the East Village which have fallen to financial hardship particularly in the past decade. Unable to maintain their properties, the Roman Catholic Church has shuttered many of them - including St. Mary's Help of Christians on East 12th Street, as well as St. Ann's. There has recently been much controversy over St. Brigid's, the historical parish on Tompkins Square Park.

East Village History & Background:
Wealthy townhouses encompassed the dirt roads for a few decades until the great Irish and German immigration of the 1840s and 1850s. The area that is today know as the East Village was originally a farm owned by Dutch Governor-General Wouter van Twiller. Petrus Stuyvesant received the deed to this farm in 1651, and his family held on to the land for over seven generations, until a descendant began selling off parcels of the property in the early 19th century.
Speculative land owners began building multi-unit dwellings on lots meant for single family homes, and began renting out rooms and apartments to the growing working class, including many immigrants from Germany. From roughly the 1850s to first decade of the 20th century, the neighborhood has the largest urban populations of Germans outside of Vienna and Berlin, and was known as("Little Germany") Klein Deutschland . It was America's first foreign language neighborhood; hundreds of political, social, sports and recreational clubs were set up during that period, some of the buildings still exist. Still, the vitality of the community was sapped by the General Slocum disaster on June 15, 1904, in which over a thousand German-American died.
Later waves of immigration came to The East Village also brought many Poles and, espcially, Ukrainians to the area. Since the 1890s there has been a large concentration roughly from 10th Street to 5th Street, between 3rd Avenue and Avenue A. The post-World War II diaspora, consisting primarily of Western Ukrainian intelligentsia, also settled down in the area. Several churches, including St. George's Catholic Church; Ukrainian restaurants and butcher shops; The Ukrainian Museum; the Shevchenko Scientific Society; and the Ukrainian Cultural Center are evidence of the impact of this culture on the area.
The area originally ended at the East River, where Avenue C is now located, until landfill – including World War II debris and rubble shipped from London – was used to extend the shoreline outward to provide foundation for the Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive.

Greetings all:
I attended the first hour of last night's Union Square revisioning meeting, a reach-out to the community for input on what we'd like to see Union Square ultimately look like as development and infrastructure upgrades proceed in 2014-2015. Mary Anne Heuston and Bob McWatters, the new Ward 3 alderman were both there.
Specific points looking for feedback:
- What do we want the Square to look like?
- Ways to visually, and otherwise, connect the new T station (which is not actually in Union Square proper) with the Square.
- Ways to improve pedestrian and bike access, reduce reliance on cars.
- How can we reconfigure streets for better flow?
- How can we improve intermodal transportation connectivity?
- How best to manage parking?
- Ways to take into account infrastructure upgrades, including improved flood prevention systems.
We were shown a map with the outline of a bow-tied section of the Square area. This area omitted Webster St.
A few comments from the crowd:
Include Webster St. in the assessment. It's a pathway for bikes and peds to Cambridge St., E. Cambridge and Inman Sq., and it's pretty terrible to navigate.
Do something to limit or eliminate the trucks that consistently go thru the Square (re-direct them elsewhere, perhaps?)
After the presentation, people were invited to look at the map, and place yellow stickies w/comments on the relevant areas. Residents can also send comments to:
Hayes Morrison (this is a woman, for those who don't know her)
City of Somerville
Director of Transportation and Infrastructure
Project team is:
Somerville DPH, Strategic Planning & Development
Parsons Brinckerhoff, engineering
Team Better Block, community engagement
Crosby, Schlessinger, Smallridge Inc., urban design
Toole Design Group, bike and pedestrian facilities
Bryant Associates, surveying
Peer Consultants, LSP services
Future meetings will be held in January 2014, and some time in the spring, summer and next fall.
That's all, folks! 🙂

The whole concept of HVAC units can be a bit overwhelming to most homeowners. Ignorance can be scary. But, some helpful tips may be all that is needed.
Before an HVAC expert comes to your home to do any repair work, walk around the home and check out the temps in every room. Notice the temperature in each room. Are some cooler or hotter than others? This will help your contractor quickly determine where the issue lies and how to get it fixed quickly and easily.
Clean the debris on your condenser units. The dirt could pile up and harm your system. It will damage the system by overheating.
Your outdoor HVAC units might suffer when your trees lose leaves. Make sure the fan's grill is cleaned often during the fall. When the fan becomes obstructed, you will lose out on quality air.
When choosing the area for placing an outdoor compressor device, place it in a shady area. When the unit sucks in cooler air, then less work is required to cool it further which in turn boosts the units efficiency.
Make sure your HVAC unit is in the shade. The unit will have to do less work cooling this air.
Have your heating and cooling system inspected twice a year. It's best to have it checked before you turn it on for the summer and again for the winter. Even though it may seem as nothing is wrong with the unit, a simple inspection can prove otherwise.
Now that you're done with this article, you know some things about the HVAC that you didn't know before. It's really hard to get started with it unless you get motivated, so be sure that you take these things into account before you get started. You'll be happy you did when things start clicking in your mind!

When I lived in San Francisco, one of my favorite places to escape to was Mt. Tamalpais (Mt. Tam). It lies just across the Golden Gate Bridge near Mill Valley and is a MUST SEE if you are visiting the Bay Area. So for Greg's birthday we decided it was worth another trip. We took Highway 1 towards Stinson Beach and then parked along the road. Here was our trail:
I've known Greg since 4th grade. He was my neighbor so we literally grew up together hiking and finding new trails, thus for us to go on a hike was certainly appropriate. He brought along two of his friends, one of which I went to high school with! Small world! We hiked for awhile and then decided to take a little break. Steve Zissou pose anyone? That's actually Highway 1 down below.
Marin County is also covered in old bunkers that used to be watch out points for the Japanese. Make sure too look out for them while you're hiking!
We only did a short hike today: hiking while drinking beer can be difficult. But it was still a ton of fun! And although it looks fairly cloudy in this picture below, we actually had amazing weather the entire time! Plus a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean.
Happy birthday Gregory! You're just as ridiculous as always. ~B

Dr. Douglas Wheelock, DDS, was recognized as the 2018 Distinguished Alumni Award winner at this year's Toast to the Tassel, an annual celebration of the current graduating class.
Dr. Wheelock graduated from Briar Cliff College in May of 1973. He was the first Briar Cliff student to attend dental school. He graduated in 1976 from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry and returned to Sioux City to open his own practice in 1977. According to his wife, Marilyn, Doug has always attributed his success in dental school to his educational experience at The Cliff, an experience characterized by hands-on, experiential learning. And if you ask him, Doug will also say that the best opportunity Briar Cliff offered him was the chance to meet Marilyn, now his wife of nearly 45 years.
In addition to practicing dentistry in Siouxland for over 40 years and becoming a husband, father, and grandfather, Dr. Wheelock has also been an outstanding member of the Sioux City community, spending countless hours volunteering for organizations like the Boy Scouts and his church, and even donating his dental services to those in need in our community. Dr. Wheelock truly embodies Briar Cliff's Franciscan values and BCU is proud to honor him as this year's Distinguished Alumni.

Effects of soybean and rice bran oil on hemato-biochemical parameters in mice
The study was conducted on "Swiss Albino" mice fed with additional supplementation of soybean oil and rice bran oil to observe the effects on hematological (total erythrocyte count and hemoglobin concentration) and biochemical parameters (total serum cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoproteins and uric acid). A total of 30, 6-8 weeks old mice were randomly divided into 3 equal groups (n=10) as A, B and C. Group A was considered as control (fed only commercial ration), group B was supplemented with rice bran oil and group C treated with soybean oil respectively in addition to commercial ration for 60 days. At the end of feeding trial the mice were sacrificed for analysis of hematobiochemical parameters. The total erythrocyte count and hemoglobin concentration were increased significantly (P<0.05) in group B and C compared to control group A and the highest values was recorded in soybean oil group C. The total serum cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and uric acid were increased significantly (P<0.05) in both rice bran oil and soybean oil group compared to control group. It is concluded that some hemato-biochemical parameters of blood in the mice are affected by rice bran and soybean oil enriched diet. Though, oils and fats are detrimental to health but to evaluate the effects of rice bran and soybean oil, further studies with more animals and some other parameters like liver function, kidney function may be conducted.

5 Places to See Endangered Species
Features & Advice Janeen Christoff May 20, 2016
PHOTO: Gorilla encounters give you a true sense of the majestic nature of these creatures. (Photo by David Cogswell)
Endangered Species Day is May 20 and it's an opportunity for people to learn about how important it is to protect endangered animals and the actions that we can take to help keep them safe. When we travel to exotic locations, we often run into opportunities to see these animals in close proximity – but we need to remember to ensure that, when interacting with any wildlife, we are doing it humanely.
Here's where to find and interact with some of the world's most intriguing endangered animals.
Giant Panda
The giant panda lives in a few mountain ranges in China, but as a result of farming and deforestation, the panda's habitat has been fairly diminished. There are currently fewer than 2,000 wild giant pandas in China today but there are around 50 in captivity at the Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Base in Chengdu, China.
READ MORE: China Doesn't Mess Around When It Comes to Their 20-Foot Iron Pandas
The institute provides an experience-based tourism program that combines environmental protection with scientific research, increasing visitor awareness about the plight of giant pandas. Visitors can observe pandas in habitats that mimic their natural environment. If you want to come face to face with a giant panda, this is where you need to visit.
The quirky kiwi bird has many strange adaptations and is the national bird of New Zealand. Its populations are also dwindling and, of the five species of the bird, two are vulnerable and one is endangered.
To come face to face with them and see how an organization is actively participating in the rescue of kiwi birds, Rainbow Springs in Rotorua, New Zealand, is one of the best places for an encounter. The organization first became involved in kiwi conservation in 1975 and its kiwi program shows and educates visitors about these unusual creatures that are endangered and protected in the country.
Giant Tortoises
Many people have heard of Lonesome George, the last known Pinta Island tortoise who passed away in 2012. He was the last of his species and there are just a few species of giant tortoises that remain in the world today.
In the Galapagos Islands, they are highly protected after being hunted nearly to extinction for a variety of reasons but you can still see them in the wild on Santa Cruz Island in the Galapagos and at the Charles Darwin Research Center, also on the island.
Inhabiting the subtropical jungles of Africa, both eastern and western gorillas are on the endangered species list. Threats to their habitats, poaching and bushmeat trade are key factors working against gorilla species – another threat is Ebola. Several hundred gorillas were wiped out in Odzala National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo when struck by Ebola in 2004.
READ MORE: Japan Has Monopoly on Ridiculously Good Looking Gorillas
For those who want to see gorillas up close in their natural habitat, trekking is one of the most extraordinary ways to visit these majestic creatures. Anastasia's Africa is one of many tour operators that offer these types of experiences and customizes itineraries for visitors to the region.
Emperor Penguin
The emperor penguin is the tallest and heaviest of all of the penguin species and is endemic to Antarctica. It is also the only penguin species that breeds during the harsh Antarctic winter and travels as much as 75 miles over ice to its breeding grounds.
Emperor penguins are expected to decline in population by nearly half over the next decade as several populations have moved to floating shelf ice rather than sea ice. The birds are currently under consideration for the endangered species list due to increased disease in colonies, habitat destruction and breeding disturbance.
For those who want to see the emperor penguins, an Antarctic cruise is your best bet. There are several companies that offer cruises to the region, from high-end luxury experiences to more rustic expeditions.

Google Chrome is making and giving your clients reasons not to trust your medical websites. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, in 1966, 73 percent of Americans had great confidence in medical practices, by 2012, that number decreased to 34 percent.
A trusting relationship between provider and patient is very crucial to healthcare. Not only because patients who trust their doctors are more likely to follow treatments. But also because trust helps prevent harmful health behaviors, such as skipping certain shots.
As the doctor-patient relationship continues to grow online, it is essential that patients feel they can trust their doctor's Medical websites. So, your patients can have trust in your medical practices. But, because of this update, your website could hurt your patients' confidence and trust in you, and can also weaken your ability to attract new patients.
Medical Websites and What Google Chrome Has to Say.
First of all, Google Chrome has made its messaging very clear to transmit information securely. Version 68 of the Google Chrome browser has provided the most changes.
Now, Google now marks all HTTP websites as "Not Secure" in the URL. The purpose of this is to inspire confidence in users that any information shared with the site is only between them and the site. Security is critical for medical websites to appear trusted online to patients. In addition, messages sent unsecured through the website could be a problem for HIPAA.
What is HTTP?
HTTP is the base for data and information communication on the web.
These days, a typical client can submit a HTTP request message to the server, and the server responds with all the data and information.
With the creation of HTTP, there was not much thought into security. However, now, security is very crucial when it comes to passwords, and different personal information. Which is very common for most if not all sites today.
What is HTTPS?
Now, we have HTTPS. So, HTTPS adds a security layer to HTTP. It encrypts the information between the client and the server. So, when you send your personal information on a site, it is protected by HTTPS while you send it. Although, there are no guarantees on this protection.
Thus, now, The big things HTTPS helps prevent are attacks such as information tampering and eavesdropping, all that are common. This is now a key factor in SEO rankings for websites as well.

Reteaching: Giving Students Extra Scaffolding to Reach their Goals
You finish a class and think to yourself, "Wow! What a wonderful lesson. I can't wait to grade these exit tickets."
However, after grading, you find a handful of your students ROCKED the lesson–but a group of students completely misunderstood the concept. How will you make sure these students don't fall behind on future lessons?
Reteaching small groups of students is an effective way to ensure students receive instruction that targets their misconceptions.
When considering reteaching as a strategy to personalize learning, one of the most natural questions is, "How is reteaching different from remediation?"
Remediation is the strategy used to fill in the gaps that students are missing. These gaps could have been created earlier in the year, or they could be holdovers from previous years in school.
Reteaching allows you to get a closer look at potential gaps immediately after teaching an objective. Data-driven reteaching lets you pinpoint precisely where student misconceptions are occurring and allows you to reteach parts of the lesson that address the area of concern. Essentially, a reteach gives students extra scaffolding to reach the final objective.
Exit Ticket Analysis
The first step to conducting a great reteach is looking at the data. (Frequent readers know I have a strong love for data!)
All great teachers analyze their exit ticket data and decide which students need help with the lesson. When conducting a reteach, it is valuable to take a close look at students who did not master the lesson. When analyzing their data, ask yourself the following questions:
Are my students getting similar items wrong?
Look for trends in student answers. If students are getting the same questions wrong, there is an underlying reason. For example, if you are teaching a lesson on finding key details, and a group of students is missing the question on finding details in the captions of pictures, then you know that your reteach will need to focus on looking for key details in multiple places in a text.
If students are getting similar questions wrong, are they giving the same answers?
Once you find the question that students misunderstood, look at the responses to this question. Are students giving similar answers? Or do their answer choices following a particular pattern? In our next example, if students are taking a math test on order of operations, you notice that a group of students is getting one particular question wrong. When you look closer, they all happen to get the same or a very similar answer. After uncovering this interesting trend, you can begin to consider the last step.
What missteps did a student need to take to get to the wrong answer?
There is likely a pattern amongst your students who answered incorrectly. A student or group of students made an error on the exit ticket because they misunderstood a concept you taught. Using information, like scratch work, from the exit ticket, you can begin to see where students miscalculated or misunderstood the lesson's objective.
Create a New Objective
Based on the analysis of the exit ticket data, what new objective you can create? If your students didn't understand your lesson the first time, consider revising the objective to address their misconception. For example, the original objective is retelling a story using three key details. In their exit ticket, students who didn't master the lesson shared three things that happened at the beginning of the story. With this example, the teacher should reconsider re-writing the new objective to retell the story using three key details from the beginning, middle, and end of the story. Finally, to keep the learning fresh and relevant for your students, we recommended pulling students for a reteach within 48 hours of the initial lesson.
If your reteach is successful, you can expect to review your exit tickets from your reteach and find that all your students ROCKED the lesson. In a blended-learning classroom, small-group reteach lessons are vital because they provide equity to students. With this model, the teacher catches student misconceptions early to limit the number of educational gaps that could accumulate throughout a student's academic career.

Yesterday's Sun carried an article about a 12 year old boy who turned up o school dressed as a girl, and with a girls name.
Today the Sun has another story about a 9 year old in the same circumstances.
This is nuts.
If you read this website set up to help children and adolescents with gender identity issues you will note that very few of these cases are actually resolved by a gender change.
There is no doubt that these children are both confused and unhappy. Many "right on" people will think that it is great that they have parents and schools who are trying to be supportive. The problem is that these boys are just far far too young to understand the decisions that are being made. No one can make this sort of decision for them, and they are definitely far far too young to decide themselves.
When I said that the schools was trying to be supportive, I did not actually mean they were actually succeeding. They could not have announced it in a more cack handed way if they tried*. Meanwhile parents who are voicing concern on the Internet are being threatened by police. Its a bot of a shame there were none about to help out Fiona Pilkington and her family over 7 years of abuse, but then they were not a "right on" type of case.
Hat tip to Manwiddicombe for the link in the Sun.

Nicki Minaj calls out music news website Pitchfork for double standards.
Nicki Minaj calls out music news website Pitchfork for double standards.
[adinserter block="1″]
The Queen of rap is heated. She caught wind of Pitchfork's critical publication about her recent collaboration with rapper 6ix9ine and seemingly reckless responses towards naysayers and Internet trolls.
Their headline reads: Nicki Minaj, 6ix9ine, and the Alarming Normalization of Predatory Behavior
In 2015, 6ix9ine pleaded guilty to the use of a child in a sexual performance.
Part of their article says:
"The choice to use her platform to further legitimize a sexual predator is in direct contrast with the nation-wide, black women-led movement to silence music's most infamous abuser."
[adinserter block="2″]
This pissed Nicki off enough to post a string of fiery Tweets defending her behavior, and in the process used Lady Gaga as an example.
She's references Gaga's decision to collaborate with R. Kelly on ARTPOP track "Do What U Want" despite his lengthy list of sexual misconduct allegations. It's worth mentioning Gaga filmed a sexually explicit video for the track with R. Kelly but ultimately decided against releasing it.
[adinserter block="3″]
To make her point, Nicki posted screenshots of an old article published on Pitchfork praising "Do What U Want." She claims she's actually NOT using Gaga as an example to tear her down, rather, illustrate a point about double standards. But, this is the Internet we're talking about, and logic and reason is scarce. It comes off like shade whether that was the intention or not.
[adinserter block="4″]
My thoughts? This is not a good look for Nicki. Her collaboration with 6ix9ine, "FEFE," should have never happened (it was chucked onto Queen after the official release in an attempt to boost sales) and her tirades against haters makes for more salacious headlines and thought pieces. Just let the music do the talking, yea?
See the Tweets below:

Monaco - Tiemoue Bakayoko is closing in on a return to Monaco on loan from Chelsea after the Ligue 1 club's vice-president Oleg Petrov said on Friday that the France international's arrival would not be a "big surprise".
"Before our match at Strasbourg (on Sunday), we expect the arrival of a physically strong defensive midfielder. We expect to finalise the deal today," Petrov said.
When asked if Bakayoko, 25, was the player being discussed, Petrov said: "Yes, it's a strong possibility. He's a physically strong defensive midfielder, he has the ability to deal with the demands of the French league. We know him, he knows Monaco and the coach. There won't be any big surprises."
The Russian added Monaco was hammering out the final details on a "loan deal", which is believed to be until the end of this season.
Bakayoko came to global prominence at Monaco, where in the 2016-2017 season he was crucial as the Principality side won the Ligue 1 title and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League alongside France star Kylian Mbappe and Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva.
He was sold to Chelsea the following season but failed to impress during his time in England and was loaned to AC Milan after just a year in London.
However that move also failed to work out, with Bakayoko playing 42 times in all competitions but falling out with coach Gennaro Gattuso as the seven-time European champions finished fifth and missed out on Champions League football.
