But they would all be left on the bases with Clio still leading 1-0.

But, Clio managed to score 3 more runs in the 6th with 3 singles and 3 passed balls. The score was now 5-1. The Dragons were retired in order in the bottom half of the inning.

Screenwriter Interviews
MovieBytes Interview:
Screenwriter Michael Gibrall
An interview with screenwriter Michael Gibrall regarding the Indie Gathering Writing Competition.Q: What's the title of the script you entered in this contest, and what's it about?
A: "Positive Variance"
BLADE RUNNER meets BRAZIL.
An FBI agent investigates a NASA hacker, only to find himself thrown into a new reality. Part futuristic, part ancient, the world has been changed into an almost utopian reality. Yet, unexplainable events, conspiracy, and innocence threaten to dismantle all of existence.
A: The Indie Gathering has a reputation of being a great festival. While submitting to genre specific festivals for my science fiction screenplay, I decided to try a few festivals which accept all genres and have awards that are dedicated to each given genre.
I've entered several other festivals with this script, and have won best feature screenplay at another festival, as well as being a semifinalist, an award nominee, and an accepted screenwriter at other festivals as of this interview. The festival that I was accepted into as a screnwriter actually made a short movie with this script, where actors read the script and performed a scene to be screened at the festival.
A: I was emailed almost two months in advance that the script had won Best Sci-Fi Screenplay.
I was extremely happy with how the festival was run. The festival producer, Kristina Michelle, and festival director, Ray Szuch, went out of their way to be helpful and answer any questions. This festival was fantastic for networking. I already have a couple of connections to try to get my screenplay noticed, thanks to Ray Szuch and a director who I networked with that noted he knew someone at the SyFy Channel, and would attempt to introduce us in the future.
To my complete surprise, the script won a second award that was announced at the awards ceremony. The script was awarded Best Overall Screenplay, which I accepted on stage, along with the Best Sci-Fi Screenplay award. I was even told what the judges scored the screenplay by the festival producer and was encouraged to attempt to get the script made into a feature film. Finally, I was told the screenplay scored so high, it was one of the highest scoring screenplays in the history of the festival.
This festival exceeded my expectations and it was an absolute pleasure to attend.
A: I had worked on this script on and off for years. It was the first feature screenplay I ever wrote, and did so to teach myself how to write a script, as well as tell a story. I didn't write an outline, as I had the idea in my head for years. I revised the script twice after the original draft.
A: Movie Magic Screenwriter.Q: Do you write every day? How many hours per day?
A: Not daily. I go through phases of writing for a while, take a break, and then write some more when I allow myself to regroup.
A: I don't know if I'd say that, but I do step away for a bit and do other things, maybe sleep on it, then get back to writing.
A: I've just finished another feature screenplay that I've just begun submitting to competitions and festivals, as well as a teleplay for a children's TV pilot that I have already produced and directed myself. I was also approached by a comedy group in Las Vegas to write a spec script for their award-winning series of shorts. The script is slated to go into production in the Fall of 2011.
A: I live in VA. Not against moving.
A: I just finished a new script and have begun submitting into festivals and competitions. The new script has already been accepted into another film festival, and had actors perform a scene from the script for the purpose of being screened at the festival.

Help Her Save YOU Time!
Guys, listen up! If you've ever dated a girl for an extended amount of time (you playas who come over late night and bolt in the morning are excluded!), you've probably heard the lines "Well, I need some time to blow dry my hair, so why don't you pick me up at xx time." or the "I'll just be a minute, I just need to do something with this hair." Since most gals don't have the luxury of having a no-fuss hair-do or a pixie cut, most of a woman's pre-party or pre-work time is devoted to making her hair look good. AND, not every gal sits around in her underwear in front of her S.O. Usually, the guys are planted in front of the TV tapping their foot waiting for the girl to hurry her ass up!
So, if you're stumped as to what to get your lady friend this holiday season, why not think about getting her something she'd appreciate but may not necessarily ever buy for herself—a blow-out package at SalonCapri in Newton Highlands.
It's a pre-paid package of professional blow-dries that will take her from day-to-night in a snap. She can book the appointments at any time during salon hours so she can go mid-afternoon before a big night out or in the morning before work. Her hair will be left silky smooth and styled and it'll save her—and more importantly, YOU—a ton of time!
Blow-out package: Buy four (4) blow-outs (complete with a wash) for $160.00, SalonCapri will give you two (2) for free! That's less than $30 a blow-out (the starting price for a blow-out at SalonCapri is $40). The package must be purchased by December 24th, 2009 but are redeemable whenever. Appointments with junior stylists only.

Skyline male staff sport mustaches and costumes displaying their enthusiasm with raising money and awareness for prostate cancer in Movember.
The women staff of Skyline show their support for Movember and prostate cancer by dressing up in moustaches.
Movember, the month formally known as November, has officially come to an end. It was a long and furry month and on November 30th, the buzz of electric razors could be heard from coast-to-coast as men removed their "MO" in celebration and relief. This international fundraising and awareness campaign for men's health encourages men to become "MO Bros" by growing a moustache for the month of November. The "MO Bros" become walking and talking billboards for men's health and this growing initiative raised over $37,000,000 in Canada alone in 2011.
This year, the Skyline staff put together a team called the "Skyline MOs" to lend their support to the cause. Before shaving off their MOs on the 30th, the Skyline MOs got together with their friendly adversaries the Guelph Storm MOs for one final MO face-off. The Skyline MOs raised over $10,000 for men's health and together with the Guelph Storm MOs they raised over $13,000 for the cause. Congratulations to all of the MO Bros on a very successful Movember. For more information on Movember, please visit their official website at www.movember.com.

Film Review: The Laundromat
PUBLISHED: 16:29 08 November 2019 | UPDATED: 16:40 08 November 2019
As shown in Logan Lucky and last year's Unsane Steven Soderbergh has lost none of his bold, edgy style since his brief hiatus from filmmaking in 2013, and it very much remains the case with his latest film.
Based on the 2015 Panama papers scandal The Laundromat focuses on a number of characters - including the bereaved Ellen (Meryl Streep) - who find themselves falling victims to insurance fraud.
As they investigate the business moguls who profit from their loss, they find that everything leads back to two Panama based lawyers, Jürgen Mossack (Gary Oldman) and Ramón Fonseca (Antonio Banderas).
This duo is who we spend much of our time with as they stride through a variety of exotic sets explaining their shady methods directly to camera.
It's an effective, if hardly original, framing device that makes the maze-like proceedings palatable and owes much to the similar works including The Wolf of Wall Street and The Big Short both in both its style and jet black humour.
Despite their flexible (and often complete lack of) morals, these shady lawyers are an immensely engaging presence due to Oldman and Banderas both clearly having a ball as the larger than life pair.
It's a shame they are not the sole focus as the surrounding multi-protagonist subplots are so brief and unfocussed that the rest of the cast including Streep, Jeffrey Wright and David Schwimmer have no time to make an impression.
Nevertheless, this is an important and exciting exploration of the evils of corruption.

Raising a ruckus
It's been a noisy six weeks in San Francisco.
In one Nob Hill apartment, the kids are sleeping in the closets. The futon is pushed up against the window. The parents are beside themselves.
Sarah Derby and her husband, Jeff Kob, are under a constant barrage of picket-line racket coming from locked-out workers at the Fairmont Hotel and Mark Hopkins Hotel across the way from their Sacramento Street apartment.
The workers, embroiled since Sept. 29 in a struggle with managers over a new contract, are making as much noise as they can to attract attention to their cause. The same scenario is playing out near 12 other San Francisco hotels, fraying workers' and residents' nerves.
MBA BY THE BAY: See how an MBA could change your life with SFGATE's interactive directory of Bay Area programs.
"We have got to make our voices clear," said Local 2 President Mike Casey, whose members are making the noise. "But if the residents and business would like silence, they need to communicate with the employers who have locked us out of our jobs. We would much rather be inside doing the jobs that are ours than outside chanting that there will be no peace until we return to work."
Despite the union's explanation, noise is the only factor that matters to people living and working near the seemingly intractable labor dispute.
At the Kob-Derby household, a futon mattress in the window muffles some of the noise the workers generate from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and often beyond, but there's no escape.
Three-year-old Emma sleeps in a closet; her 1-year-old brother, Elliott, sleeps in a linen closet, and Mom and Dad are on the floor. It's a bit undignified, but it's also a few feet away from the window and the clangorous doings at the two landmark hotels just outside.
Kob was trembling when he described living in a kind of amphitheater of sound on the hill.
"With psychological warfare, they are driving the neighbors nutty," he said. "That noise is not helping their cause, and it's only destroying the life of a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old. Why do they do it? To what end?"
The San Francisco Police Department has a protocol for people to lodge a complaint that can lead to a police officer making a citizen's arrest on their behalf. That, in turn, can lead to a misdemeanor charge of disturbing the peace.
A citizen's arrest has several steps and requires multiple offenses. Deputy Chief of Police Gregory Suhr said that citations have been issued to three people but that no one has been booked.
Suhr, asked how difficult it is for cops to remain neutral and objective keepers of the peace in the dispute, said, "Brutal."
The sounds from the picket lines are varied. There are the beating of placards and the honking of horns by sympathetic truck drivers and other passers-by. Largely, it's chanting in a call-and-response pattern.
Not backing down
There's no apology coming from Unite Here Local 2, the hotel workers' union with 4,000 members locked out of 14 city hotels. They're unequivocal on the picket line when they chant, "No contract, no peace."
"We are sympathetic" to the neighbors' complaints, Casey said, "but you cannot expect (4,000 union workers) locked out of their jobs for 42 days to quietly accept their lot. There is a lot of anger and a lot of resentment."
Indeed, the noise is productive for the union, said UC Berkeley labor specialist Harley Shaiken, because it attracts attention to the fact that these are not strikers but people who want to get back to work. "That's a very different dimension," Shaiken said. "Is there discomfort short term? Yes. But there needs to be awareness in the community that these people did not choose to be on the picket lines. It highlights the fact this is a picket line of the hotel management's choosing. Under these circumstances, the noise makes the case."
Gibbs Brown, a longtime San Francisco businessman who founded a financial services company with a union focus, lives in the Brocklebank Apartments next to the Fairmont. "My answer to the noise is mostly Mozart," he said, adjusting the volume for the sound system in his kitchen. But he is in absolute sympathy with the workers.
"I think the lockout is colossally unfair," Brown said. He can relate to the workers, most of whom are immigrants, like his grandparents from Croatia, who came of age with little money in the Sunset District, he said.
"The multiple effects of this action on the city's economy are huge. From the perspective of the workers, I have never heard of such a negotiating tactic: You can't come back to work unless you agree to (the employers' terms) unilaterally," he said.
Brown was referring to the hotels' offer to end the lockout if the union abandons its effort to secure a two-year contract that would match a negotiating cycle with hotel workers' contracts in six other cities and the state of Hawaii, thus strengthening its hand.
The hotels' Multi-Employer Group is offering a five-year contract. The hotels locked out their union workers in response to a two-week strike against four member hotels that ended Oct. 13.
Still, the union cause is largely a lost cause for Nob Hill residents. At the Derby-Kob apartment -- he is a writer and she works with him doing marketing and direct mail -- daughter Emma normally goes to sleep at 7 or 7: 30 p.m., but the noise from the picket lines is constant until at least 10 p.m. , when it's supposed to end, and she's up with it, Kob said. At times it has gotten so bad that Derby has taken her sleep-deprived daughter out of preschool so she can take a nap in the closet or go to a friend's house.
Little can be done
The couple call the police constantly but say little can be done. "There are union vans with more supplies, more megaphones if they take one away," Derby said. "That is the reality. There is absolutely no way to stop the madness," Kob said.
It's gotten personal, too, said the couple, who are now known to some picketers. The other day, a man was banging on a stop sign on Sacramento Street and looking up toward their apartment. Derby and Kob said that same pounding is their wake-up call in the early morning.
"They are suffering, too," Derby said of the picketers walking in circles outside the Fairmont and Mark Hopkins. "It's freezing out there, and they have to walk, and they have to make noise. They're suffering. We're suffering. Nobody is getting anywhere."
Tuesday morning, the picket captain at the Fairmont was Junior Tejano, a bell captain who has worked there for 35 years. "I think sympathy for these people," he said, gesturing toward picketers on a break, "will help us win this lockout. We are very sorry for all the noise that they hear from us, but we also need them to help us fight this lockout."
'I don't have a choice'
Erma Lopez, who has worked at the Fairmont for 13 years and is a busperson in room service, said, "We don't want to cause trouble. But unfortunately, we are out here. I don't have a choice. I need to be out here to (get) back in there. I want my job back."
Across Third Street from the Argent Hotel, the six architects and two staff workers at the firm of Aaron G. Green & Associates in the Hearst Building also are suffering.
"It's has come down a little bit," said Jan Novie, president, "but I'm starting to get headaches. I'm starting to get ringing in my ears. I'm ready to call my doctor and ask him to look at me. It never stops."
He added, "It must be like being a prisoner of war. We are prisoners of their noise, and it's unwanted. We are trying to do our business and tolerate it, but there comes a point (where) I don't think the human psyche can deal with it."
He said he can't say that the distraction will make or break the firm, "but it doesn't help to have this happen when you need your best thinking."
Of the citizen's arrest protocol, he said: "Appalling that they would stick that responsibility on us."
Tuesday, Lamoin Werlein-Jaen, vice president of Local 2, was meeting with picketers at the Argent.
"Given the realities of complaints and (visits by police officers), they have asked folks to turn the bullhorns down to the minimal level. So the bullhorns around the city are down to the low end of their volume, and we are trying to minimize the impact on the surrounding area," he said.
Still, it's a necessary evil, some picketers said.
"People complaining should call the management and complain to them," said Julia Mendez, 64, of San Francisco, a 21-year room cleaner at the Argent. "The reason we are here is because of them," she said, "We understand (people in neighboring office buildings) and are concerned about them, but if (we) don't make noise -- well, this is the only weapon we have."
Across Market Street from the Four Seasons Hotel, in the Phelan Building, Sherris Goodwin is the president of the American College of California, which includes a hospitality program and early childhood education program. "On most days, the bullhorns go from 6 a.m. to midnight," she said. "They certainly have a right to protest. That is their issue. I really take umbrage with their ability to affect small businesses like mine and the other businesses in the building," Goodwin said.
Across the street, at 26 O'Farrell, Hans Hansson, president of Starboard Commercial Real Estate, said the noise level at the Four Seasons has declined somewhat. He faulted Mayor Gavin Newsom, who sided with the workers after the hotels turned down his proposal for a 90-day cooling-off period.
In a letter sent to clients before the mayor took sides, Hansson wrote, "Mayor Newsom, you have been elected to represent all of San Francisco, which includes the entire business community. To allow laws to be broken, that severely impacts businesses, because you are afraid to upset the unions, is wrong, wrong, wrong."
Casey, the union president, said he has tried to turn down the noise, but "we won't be silent. That is not right. We have to make our voices heard."
Suhr said most of the complaints have come from office workers near the Palace and Argent hotels.
"By the vast majority, we gain compliance from the demonstrator without having to go to the next step and issue a citation," the deputy police chief said.
This explanation gave no comfort to Tom McKee, former mayor of Johnson City, Tenn., at the Grand Hyatt for a convention. He said Tuesday that he had gotten nowhere in calling city officials and complaining to police officers about the bullhorns. He could find no one who would enforce laws. "This is a black eye for your community," he said.

"Politics of Work" and "Politics at Work" : The Case of the Jordan Phosphate Mine Company
|Claudie FIORONI
|Director of thesis
|Professor Riccardo Bocco
|Co-director of thesis
|Summary of thesis
|My PhD thesis, which is situated at the intersection of the fields of political sociology and anthropology of work, is an ethnographic study of the Jordan Phosphate Mine Company (JPMC), one of the most important Jordanian public companies which was privatized in 2006.Through my dissertation, I show how the JPMC contributes to the (re)production of political domination structures in Jordan. I focus on three main dimensions. First, I show how the economics of phosphate mining in Jordan and the governance of the JPMC are shaped by socio-political and technological factors. Second, by analysing the processes of subjectification experienced by the employees at the workplace, I show how the JPMC contributes to the production of political subjects. Finally, I analyse the mechanisms of wealth distribution channelled through the JPMC. My analysis relies on an in-depth ethnography of the workplace as well as on the analysis of the labour movements and of the protests of the job-seekers which occured between 2011 and 2013.

This blog was originally written by Atsushi Izumihara in Japanese. He uses the ID AMANE.
This is a community translation into English.
When THETA S came out, I tried to stream it to WebRTC and use it as a USB camera. However, I had trouble mapping the dual-fisheye stream onto a spherical surface.
Editors note:
for most people, this was solved with THETA UVC Blender and UVC FullHD Blender. This is the problem the author is trying to solve:
Alternate solution is here
After a while, I saw this article, thank you! I cried out
Editor Note: English translation of the article above is here.
This was exactly what I was looking for.
However, when I accessed the page, the THREE library was not being read correctly, some code was reversing on git, and it did not work properly. So I decided to fix it so that I could move on my own.
Today's article is a project I tried just a little dancing on the shoulder of the giant. Thank you [to the original author mechamogera]
Finished project
Here's the code on GitHub. The original was hard to handle with Gist, so I moved things to a git project
getUserMedia is not compatible with
https. Use
npm http-server. Get the code from GitHub and try it with
npm http-server etc
I'll show you what I recorded
- three.js v 73
- Google Chrome
Texture mapping to sphere
Although the basic is as the original article, with the latest revision, the code which is doing the main theta-view.js of theta-view.js is theta-view.js deleted. (Is it a commit mistake?) Since there is a code in the previous revision, I will use this.
Adjustment of Stitching Seam
If you keep the original code, I cut it a bit, so adjust the numbers to make it feel good. Please see the code for details. Smoothing is not done. I want to do!
Get THETA S's USB live streaming
For this test, I will display the movie with the THETA S locally connected. Acquire the WebRTC 's
getUserMedia and use it with the
<video> tag. The
<video> tag is not displayed directly. The image is mapped by Three.js and displayed in the Canvas created with js.
Bonus: FOV adjustment
Make it possible to widen or narrow the viewing angle.
OrbitControl.js the mouse wheel of
OrbitControl.js is devoted to another event, you can OrbitControl.js control the FOV with the up and down keys
function keydown(e) {
var keyCode = e.keyCode;
switch (keyCode) {
case 40:
// zoom out
camera.fov += 1;
if(camera.fov >= 130) camera.fov = 130;
case 38:
// zoom in
camera.fov -= 1;
if(camera.fov <= 30) camera.fov = 30;
document.addEventListener("keydown", keydown);
This time it was awkward to set up an https server so I stopped displaying local cameras, but just by using the video sent remotely by WebRTC as a texture, I can finish the interactive 360 web chat.
Continuous operation and usage
I have tested the THETA S in the USB live streaming state continuously for more than 8 hours. It seems to be OK for now, but there were a lot of twists and turns in my earlier tests. I will try using it a bit more continuously.
I thought that it could be used as a surveillance camera all the time but it seems a little inconvenient because it is necessary to press the current hardware key with the special manners of making live streaming status.
When mapping to the spherical surface, I feel that it is not enough at USB 1280x720 at all. (Editor's Note: Current resolution is now 1920x1080. 4K was announced recently for a future THETA model.) Even if you use HDMI live streaming FullHD with HDMI capture, it probably will not be enough. I thought that there is still room for further development in this area. I am looking forward to the future! (Editor's Note: See announcement of 4K live streaming.)

For a number of years now I have tried to make it a point of listening to Bob Dylan on Election Day. Not that Bob (to the best of my knowledge) has ever really come out and injected himself into political races. But something about the way he writes, something about the universal iconoclasm of what he's been doing for half a century just makes me want to listen to him when each major election roles around. It makes sense because even decades detached, Dylan seems to get the sheer brilliant chaos that accompanies this country around every corner. And on Election Day, for me, it works.
In 2006 it was just as personal as it was political. I was in my 10th year of working in politics and I felt the oncoming need for a change. And the same time the country was starting to make a change as well; the Senate and House went back to the Democrats that night and the repudiation of the Bush/Cheney years was beginning to take hold. So with all of this going on I put on his transitional masterpiece Blood on the Tracks.
In 2008, knowing that full level of change was about to be realize with the election of Barack Obama as the nation's first ever black President, I went lo-fi and obvious, listening to The Times They Are-A Changing.
In 2010, with things swinging back to the right and the Tea Party entering a period of full-bloom, I went back to Bob's beginnings and listened heavily to The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. The album is an odd but lethal cocktail of whimsy, nihilism and pure prescience, and I used it as a chance to re-ground myself in this latest new reality. And one song, well, stood out amidst all the madness of the day. "Down the Highway." For me it was wistful hopefulness.
Well I'm bound to get lucky, baby,
Or I'm bound to die tryin'.
Alas…no. Didn't help in the end.
This year I dug back into vintage mid-60s Bob again, playing bits and pieces of Another Side of Bob Dylan and Bringing in All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited to get myself primed for the historic night. And various disparate lyrics stood out to me.
One struck me when thinking about voting and the absolute necessity of that right:
Striking for the gentle, striking for the kind
Striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind.
— "Chimes of Freedom," 1964
One about the President, facing his last ever Election Night:
Even the President of the
sometimes must have to stand naked. United States
— "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)," 1965
And even one about the challenger:
You try so hard but you just don't undertstand
What you'll say when you get home.
Because something is happening here, but you don't know what it is,
Do you, Mr. Jones?
— "Ballad of a Thin Man," 1966
And today, with the election once more behind us and a decisive victory at hand, I specifically wanted to hear one song. One somewhat buried track from the magnificent Bringing it All Back Home.
The rumbling blues of "On the Road Again."
Where Dylan captures the sheer indescribable madness all around him and wonders how in the hell anyone can put up with it.
I wake up in the morning there's frogs inside my socks,
Your mama she's hiding inside the icebox,
Your Daddy walks in wearing a Napolean Bonaparte mask.
And you ask why I don't live here?
Honey, do you have to ask?
Your grandpa's cane, it turns into a sword,
Your grandma prays to pictures that are pasted on a board,
Everything in my pockets your uncle steals.
And you ask why I don't live here?
Honey, I can't believe that your for real!
Well there's fistfights in the kitchen, they're enough to make my cry,
The mailman comes in, even he has to take a side,
Even the butler, he's got something to prove.
And you ask why I don't live here?
Honey, how come you don't move?
That is the vibe I got last night from watching the returns come in and the Electoral Map got bluer and bluer, and Senate candidates who actually made lame excuses for acts of rape and called legitimate dissent un-American and allowed millions and millions of nameless, faceless "dark money" to be spent on their behalf with little regard for the truth kept losing and losing.
And I thought, "Why are they all losing? Why is
saying no to them?" America
And my answer, inside my head? "Honey, do you have to ask?"

Two photographs of the buildings on the Waits in St Ives taken around 100 years apart
The Waits, so called because the barges and lighters had to wait here to be loaded, unloaded or moved up and down stream. Prior to the building of the sluices along the river St Ives was the extreme limit of the tide flow on the River Great Ouse. It is now a nice place to sit and sometimes in the summer a Brass Band plays here
The Waits in 2000 now a public mini-park and an overnight mooring place for visiting boats
The Waits circa 1900 being used as a public slip to the River Great Ouse

From 1866 until nowadays John Lobb Ltd. history was a story of perseverance. John Lobb's perseverance in being the world's best shoemaker and his ambition to return to London, William Lobb's determination to expend the business to Paris, Eric Lobb's commitment to revival a lost treasure and nowadays John Hunter Lobb's perseverance in "keeping the traditional craft alive".
This kind of belief helped John Lobb Ltd. to survive in a world in permanent change and over the years to outcome even the most difficult periods such as the war times when John Lobb Ltd. premises were bombed several times.
The Great Depression affected many businesses in a major way. How did you cope with the Depression years?
If you mean the 1930s I was not born then and have only been told about it. There were still customers seeking to be well shod; the old social order was still lingering on and customers from America were coming to London more than before. I think perhaps the 1920s was the extravagant period with Maharajahs from India spending freely. After the 2nd world war my Uncle was the man who revived the fortunes of the firm.
In a discussion with the Viennese shoemaker Alexandru Maftei, I was told that there is not a single shoemaker that was not influenced by John Lobb creations and techniques. What is the key element of this remarkable influence from your point of view?
If our influence has been widespread it is perhaps due to our willingness to be quite open about how we work and indeed for many years young people have spent short periods of time in work experience then going off on their own. Our models have really evolved; Lastmaking has always been of supreme importance since that is the basis of a good looking shoe.
You confessed once that you have turned your face against the machines. How hard is to keep the tradition alive in our days?
There have always been young people keen to work with their hands and we have been fortunate to have skilled craftsmen and women prepared to pass on their skills. It is always a one to one process whether it is Lastmaking, clicking, closing, rough stuff cutting, making or polishing and then treemaking. When I joined the firm there were three generations of one family of closers who had worked for the firm for many years and a family of makers as well. Three employees at the shop each celebrated 60 years of service just before I joined. You will see that it tended to be a job for life and that more or less continues.
Comparing a 19th century shoe with a 2013 shoe, are there differences that we can observe?
I do not think that my Great grand father would see much difference in the actual handwork involved in making our shoes today. So far it is only in the office that change has been forced upon us!
How hard is to find good materials today?
Good materials are still available although vegetable tanning is not what it was. I think that there may be some short cuts in the tanning process which make some leathers less malleable.
How would you define Lobb bespoke?
Bespoke simply means doing what you are asked to do. The fact that we do everything by hand enables us to cater to all idiosincracies.
Please tell my readers about your relation with the Royal Families and the significance of the Royal Warrant. I noticed that Prince Charles of Wales is a great fan of your shoes…
Obtaining a Royal Warrant (Royal Warrant Granted in 1956 by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and Royal Warrant Granted by HRH The Prince of Wales in 1980) is a sign of Royal patronage, indicating the best work and highest level of service and excellence. There is no doubt that it marks out a firm as special.
In your famous last-room are stacked wooden lasts carrying the names of Cole Porter, Winston Churchill, Prince of Wales or J. Paul Getty. Did you had Romanian Royal Family members as clients in your records?
We have an impressive list of famous customers over the years. With the present emphasis on celebrities I think it is only since the 1920s and particularly 1940s when my Uncle took over that there has been interest in them; and more so in the last 25 years. That being so the world behind the iron curtain and after the Russian revolution did not get to the West End of London! Also until 1940 there were handmade shoemakers still working around the world.
Your specialty being lastmaking how were your beginning years in the firm and how do you feel now as the Chairman of Lobb?
I became involved in measuring customers and making lasts soon after I joined the firm in 1959. My Father gave me my first lessons but he died soon after so I continued to learn from the lastmakers who were employed at that time. Being Chairman has fallen to me as successor to my Uncle, who kindly recommended this. A family business often continues in this way giving continuity and a particular interest in keeping the old firm alive in the face of changing times.
Why is the lastmaking stage so important and what is the thing that makes Lobb lasts so famous all over the world?
The Lobb last is essentially a last to fit a particular customer. The appearance follows and to achieve both a good fit and appearance is an important skill which we do our best to preserve and nurture.
From all Lobb models do you have a favorite one?
I am a traditionalist and I suppose that the plain oxford worn by my father has always appealed to me.
Who will continue the Lobb legacy after your retirement?
I have 3 sons and a 2nd cousin working with me so the future legacy looks hopeful.
Lastly, after all those years spend in shoemaking what is it all about in the end?
It has been called the gentle craft and it is satisfying work to be involved in. Heaven is my objective and working with decent people and for decent people, for a large part of one's life, seems to be one hopeful means of achieving it!

I think what you are encountering is that if you Hide Guides, the Hide Guides command Locks them as well as hiding them. (You can observe this by looking at the View menu immediately after hiding the guides.)
This has been true of Illustrator ever since guides were first introduced, which I think was in Illustrator 3. It is by no means new to CS or CS2. But I don't see a good reason for it to act that way. So it might be a good feature request to ask that the Hide Guides command not lock them.

A Night's Delight & A Breakfast to Remember
The Stonewall Jackson Inn is a restored mansion (circa 1885) that is unique to the Shenandoah Valley. While lodging at the Inn provides the feeling of a historic Civil War-era home, the design and materials are unlike any other Harrisonburg, Virginia bed and breakfast. Two architects from Boston (Richardson and Emerson) creatively adapted the traditional Queen Anne architecture to a stone-and-shingled New England cottage style. Thus, our Inn looks and feels like an old summer coastal home at Newport or Bar Harbor. The Mansion stands on two acres, landscaped with rose bushes, flowerbeds, and the old horse and carriage barn to complete the picturesque sight.
Just who the Inn's builder was is obscure, but it is believed to have been a New England sea captain who moved to the area after marrying a valley debutante. Built into the mansion were techniques of construction familiar to the shipyards of the time: voice tubes for communication, distinctive beam structure, and separate family and servant living quarters and staircases. Also of note, the stairways and doors were made wide to accommodate the hoop skirts of guests entering from their carriage. Indeed, the building was constructed to entertain on a grand scale.
There are three finished floors. The first floor (now the basement and innkeeper's quarters) was used for food and fuel storage, while the main or second floor was devoted to dining, dancing, and entertainment, with hotel-type kitchen facilities for the butler, maid, cook, and stable/handyman, all of whom lived in the back of the mansion.
Leading off the Queen Anne "living hallway" entrance is the grand parlor with impressive beamed ceilings – an ideal spot to meet with friends, read a book, or savor the afternoon light. The third floor, where seven of our rooms are now, provided bed quarters for the family, complete with a nursery and family parlor. Dining areas include the large, outdoor raised deck and, indoors, the skylight breakfast room (our "Paradise Cafe").
Virginia folklore has it that the attic is still "occupied" by an artist chatelaine (Audrey Long) who used it as a studio in the early 1900s – but that is part of the lure of this charming place. Speaking of artists, we have an extraordinary collection of the limited-edition prints of P. Buckley Moss as well as stunning watercolors by Rachel Goodman.
A Night's Delight ~ A Breakfast to Remember is our GUARANTEE! Welcome to the beautiful and historic Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
The easiest way to make a reservation is online using the Book Online button at the top of the page. You will be taken to our reservation system where you can select from the available rooms. Or, just call us at (540) 433-8233 or toll-free (800) 445-5330.
Easy to find, just minutes off I-81, on the edge of Harrisonburg's lively downtown historic district. Harrisonburg is in the heart of the beautiful Shenandoah Valley within the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountain ranges.
We're centrally located amid the Skyline Drive, Civil War Battlefields, and both James Madison and Eastern Mennonite Universities. Massanutten and Bryce Ski Resorts are an easy, scenic drive from the inn.

text: In the western world, the concept of "old" implies certain values that turn antiques into exclusive artistic treasures. In Africa, however, this concept does not necessarily imply the same values; therefore when an antique is bought in Africa, in reality is an old and sometimes shabby item. This is the reason why The African Touch brings to this art gallery many beautiful and high quality traditional African pieces of art which are valued regarding its aesthetics, symbolism, meaning and history; not regarding its age.

Kenya fifth in investment returns in Africa
What you need to know:
- The 2019 Africa Risk-Reward Index ranked 26 countries based on investment potential.
- Ethiopia tops the rewards sub-index, with eight points, followed by Egypt (6.7), Ivory Coast (6.6) and Tanzania (6.3).
Kenya is a natural destination for people looking to invest in Africa with the hope of big returns, suggests a new report which has declared the country the fifth most rewarding investment environment in the continent.
The 2019 Africa Risk-Reward Index, which awarded Kenya 6.27 points out of 10, ranked 26 countries based on investment potential.
"Unlike Kenya, where ethno-regional tensions produce cyclical instability around elections, political stability risks in Tanzania are low in light of broader social cohesion under the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi party," says the report.
The risk-reward index is made of two pillars – rewards and risks. The reward sub-index evaluates four indications, including economic growth forecasts, economic size, structure and demographics. The economic growth outlook has the biggest weight in the reward score, as investment opportunities multiply where economic growth is strong. Kenya's good performance is attributed to efforts to take full advantage of opportunities offered by the East African Community (EAC) by pushing for the removal of tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade, as well as pushing for free movement in the region. President Kenyatta, in his second inauguration in 2017, announced that Africans would be eligible to receive visas on arrival in Kenya and would not require their states to do the same.
Ethiopia tops the rewards sub-index, with eight points, followed by Egypt (6.7), Ivory Coast (6.6) and Tanzania (6.3). Ethiopia's high reward score is attributed, largely, to its huge market of 100 million people, as well as the process of liberalising various sectors such as telecommunications, aviation and financial services. (The report, however, points out that some of the ambitious plans being pushed by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed have not taken off as expected.)
"The timetable for telecommunication liberalisation has already slipped, foreign-exchange shortages persist, and the postponement of local elections shows the difficulties in pushing through political reforms," says the report. In the EAC, Kenya comes second after Tanzania. South Sudan and Burundi were left out in the report. The report, however, cites Tanzania's protectionist attitude towards her neighbours, highlighting occasional blockages of goods from other EAC countries, as well as President John Magufuli's nationalist stances on the extractives sector, as challenges affecting its attractiveness as an investor's destination.
Despite the concerns, Tanzania performs better than Kenya largely due to political stability.
"Unlike Kenya, where ethno-regional tensions produce cyclical instability around elections, political stability risks in Tanzania are low in light of broader social cohesion under the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi party," says the report. This, the report states, creates a sense of political stability, and even the upcoming 2020 elections are unlikely to present political unrest.
Kenya outperformed Nigeria, Morocco, South Africa, Algeria and Angola, which, according to 2018 Gross Domestic Product value data from World Bank, have larger economies.
The country, however, ranked as the 16th-riskiest place to invest in, while the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the riskiest and Mauritius the safest. The DRC has the highest risk score of eight out of 10 points.
Kenya came third in the EAC after Tanzania and Uganda. Rwanda has the least risk in the region. It has been hailed for improvements in government bureaucracy and reforms that encourage international investment. It is also the highest-ranked country in the bloc on ease of doing business, according to the World Bank.
The report considers the continent a potential destination for investors, due to its ability to quickly adapt to new technologies, and its largely young population. Data estimates from Worldometers, an online tool for data sourced from notable sources such as UNDP and the World Bank, places the median age of Africa at 19, lower than Asia (31), the United States (38) and Europe (42).

People prefer to get massage for varied reasons. Some to get relief from illness like arthritis, some to rejuvenate their skin to enhance their beauty or get relief from stress. Massage also helps one get good sleep.
Whatever may be the reason to get massage in a spa, before fixing an appointment you need to be aware of a few things as mentioned below.
Few facts you need to be aware of before getting a massage in a massage parlour:
- Selecting the best massage parlour – To have the massage done by specialists is quite important. If the massage is done wrongly it may lead to some adverse effects. Thus, it is best to choose the parlour employing massage specialists. The therapists are licensed, well trained and some are specialised in giving specific massage therapy. Popular massage centres may be little expensive, however booking your appointment there will prove to be beneficial.
- Know the kind of massage suitable for reaping benefits – As massage is done to stimulate the pressure points of the body there is difference in applying every massage therapy. Thus, it will be helpful to have detailed information about the massage treatment they offer, consult your physician if you are having massage to improve your health condition.
- Don't be shy to ask questions in your initial visit to the centre – The highly credential massage parlour executives will be ready to answer any of your questions regarding the services they provide, the detail info of the kind of massage suitable for your need, price, timings and even give enough tips to take care after the massage is over. You can ask them to provide male or female therapist as per your preference.
- Know the massage therapist – You need to be comfortable when you get massage. This is an important thing. Thus, if you are having massage to get relief from body pain, it is best to inform the therapist.
Before you go to the massage Sherbrooke centre make sure to consider certain facts helpful to get all the benefits of massage.
Here are few things to do:
- Avoid eating before having massage. The food needs to be digested as you may lying on your stomach.
- Try to breathe normally. This helps you to relax.
- Drink a lot of water after massage. This is because your body tissues release toxins which need to be washed out.

Irish combine not such a fuss for GAA
Thursday, February 23 2012 @ 10:00 pm ACDT
Contributed by: Michael Christiansen
Views: 2,683
It was reported last Friday in Fairfax press that Tadhg Kennelly's new AFL ambassadorial role had upset the Irish GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association), following the hosting of an Australian (rules) Football recruiting 'camp' (combine) in Dublin.
The article suggested that the GAA had been uneasy about it and that the GAA bosses repudiated a claim that they had been informed. Stating that it had been reported in Ireland that the GAA bosses "denied receiving any formal notification of Kennelly's new role or the AFL's strategy on the recruitment of amateur Gaelic footballers". Even if this is the case, the question really is how big a deal is it?
By going straight to an Irish source – in this case the IrishTimes.com, and the GAA operations Manager Fergal McGill was reported as saying : "In relation to Tadhg Kennelly's appointment, Andrew Demetriou would have been in contact with Páraic Duffy,"
"I wouldn't say we've had any further formal communications with them. If they want to inform us [about recruitment camps] as a matter of courtesy that's fine but it is nothing to do with us. Same goes for soccer or rugby signing up fellas who are playing GAA, they don't tell us either."
GAA president Christy Cooney, while indicating he didn't know about the camp; pretty well brushed off the matter:
"I have gone through this whole rigmarole about Australia before and I don't mean that in a negative way but we have only a handful of players playing in Australia and if people want to play Australian Rules or play professionally, they have that right and we would never stand in their way."
"That right is open to any player in any code, whether it is rugby, soccer, AFL, whatever it is, they have that right and if they get a career out of it we wish them the best of luck. We can't stand in any player's way if they want to play an international game and we should never try."
The reality is that the GAA sports get pillaged already by soccer and rugby in particular. That the AFL provides options somewhat farther flung than across the Irish Sea probably makes the AFL far less of a real threat than these other codes. And, only a very small number of the Irish recruits don't return within a couple of years.
Meanwhile, the AFL website ran an article by Jason Phelan that reviewed what was described as the "First AFL draft combine held on Irish soil". There were 15 young men participating in a one day condensed version of the four day NAB AFL draft combine that was conducted in Melbourne last October. The drills included 20m sprints, agility runs, vertical jumping, beep test as well as skills oriented sessions and decision-making exercises. More can be read here.

How One Woman Is Cracking Down On Social Media Fraud
It was her friends who first informed her about the fake accounts.
When Shaikha Dr. Noora bint Khalifa Al Khalifa of Bahrain found out there were social media profiles impersonating her on Instagram and Facebook, she thought the problem was a one-off issue.
"I reported the fake accounts, but I didn't take any serious action when they were first spreading," the Shaikha said. And spreading they were.
Hundreds of profiles were create in Shaikha Dr. Noora Al Khalifa's name.
Throughout the past few months, over 350 fake profiles were created on both Instagram and Facebook, all claiming to be Shaikha Dr. Noora herself – while the real Shaikha Dr. Noora worked tirelessly to shut them all down.
These fake accounts – and the fraudsters behind them – were clearly no joke.
She soon discovered her identity was being used by members of organized crime groups in Jordan and Egypt, located primarily in refugee camps. Some impersonators posed as the Shaikha, while others claimed they were an "Arab princess" in need of help.
The criminals had a plan to con innocent people out of money - and, by the vast amounts of accounts they had created with the Shaikha's pictures, they were succeeding.
"They thought they were helping out charities."
Some users were handing over hundreds of Bahraini dollars, to what they thought were charitable causes or investment schemes endorsed by the Bahraini royal.
It was clearly much worse than she had originally anticipated.
"It was people I didn't personally know who were victimized. They thought they were helping out charities," Shaikha Noora said.
"These accounts presented themselves as raising money for philanthropic causes. No one was aware they were fake until after they found out through my official media channels."
It's happening everywhere in the world.
The saddest part of this story is that this isn't anything new. Scams like this have been happening for years and the issue isn't isolated to the GCC region.
"The entire fake account fraud started more than 10 years ago, misusing photographs of Gulf royals," Shaikha Noora said to GDN Online in a recent interview.
"The targets of this network of fraudsters are poor people, or those less educated, who fall for this trap and pay anywhere between BD200 to BD500."
"I was doing research and I noticed many artists, influencers, other members of royal families and politicians [around the world] have similar issues," she said to ITP Live. "Maybe they don't know it's going on . . . but it's a global issue. I think it's a must to spread awareness throughout the media, so people have knowledge about these scams."
So... What are Facebook and Instagram Doing To Stop It?
The Shaikha has been shutting down an average of 20 fake accounts per day. She's quick to note that Facebook and Instagram have been very efficient in cracking down on the con accounts.
"They helped by closing all the fake accounts, once I reported it. It only took them one day. I would like to thank them for their positive and fast response, and their efforts to keep the social media environment healthy for all users," she said.
"The safety of our community is absolutely critical to us. As soon as an incident is reported to us, we take the appropriate action to remove impersonators," a Facebook spokesperson said to ITP Live.
"We are committed to safeguarding the integrity of our services, and we also urge people to continue to use our reporting tools to flag content they suspect may be illegal or violate our community standards."
What can influencers do to protect themselves (and their audience) from fraudsters?
Plenty of influencers have had their images (and identities) used without their consent online. And it isn't just a case of reposting someone's Instagram picture and forgetting to tag their handle.
Shaikha Noora advises influencers to closely monitor social media for con artists that may try to use their profile (and images) for fraudulent or criminal activities.
Report any accounts that may be impersonating you to Facebook or Instagram. They take it very seriously and are usually able to shut down false accounts within a matter of days.
To report a fake account to Instagram, follow the instructions on this page. You'll need to provide some requested information, including a photo of your government-issued ID. You can also report it directly in the app or fill out a form if you don't have an Instagram account.
To report a fake account on Facebook, follow the instructions on this page. You will first need to determine whether you're reporting a profile or a Page. Then, log into Facebook and go directly to the offending profile/Page. If you want to report an imposter Page of a public figure, follow the instructions here.

Hi Everyone,
It is the Australian Day Long weekend and Saturday was a super hot day with temperatures around 37 degrees. It was so humid I just wanted to stay indoors the whole day. We were invited over to our friend's house and luckily they had a pool so most of us have gone in to cool down twice throughout the day. My friend normally prepares most of the food but we bought some fruit over so everyone can cool down with some nice fruits. When I got to the shop, I found a fruit which was a bit interesting but also a bit confusing. Let's see what it was.
On the sign, it says its a Korean pear but the origin is from China. That in itself was confusing but I thought I had to buy it and give it a try because the pear was actually pretty big. It looked like a nashi pear but just bigger and a lot darker. Price wise it was pretty expensive considering nashi pears are normally $5-6 a kilo and this was already $3.49AUD each.
We took it our friend's place and they also haven't seen this before. So let's cut it up and see what it looks like. Just like I thought, it's like a nashi pear. Tastes the same just a bit sweeter. Nothing too special that I need to go out of my way to buy another one. Do you have this Korean pear in your city?
Thanks for reading
