There's been Coco Capitán, GucciGhost and even Donald Duck, and now Gucci are adding another name to their list of interesting collaborators - Daniel Day AKA Dapper Dan.
The partnership comes about after a spate of controversy on social media surrounding one of the looks in Gucci's Cruise '18 collection, specifically a monogrammed puff-sleeve fur jacket that looked extremely similar to a creation that Dapper Dan made for Olympic runner Diane Dixon back in the 80s.
In an interview following the show, Dapper Dan said he was: 'very surprised... Everyone was. It was a wild moment... The jacket and his original were 'very similar — unmistakably similar.'
In response to online criticism, creative director Alessandro Michele clarified that it wasn't a copy, but rather an homage to the tailor's work.
Then in June, in a profile in The New York Times, Day acknowledged that Gucci had made contact with him following the controversy, explaining how the entire Gucci design team had come to visit him in Harlem and that they were 'at the table.' Rumours about what this exactly meant were rife but it seems it's finally now clear with the announcement of the partnership.
Speaking to the NYT again this week Dapper Dan clarified his thoughts on the 'homage' in that Gucci cruise collection and his fans' reactions saying:
'People were excited in a different way than I was. I was just excited about it being there. The part about appropriation, Alessandro and I are part of two parallel universes. The magic that took place as a result of what he did was bringing these two parallel universes together. That opened a dialogue between us when we finally got in touch with each other. I found out how similar our experiences were, the way he grew up and the way I grew up, and how he was influenced by me. I was never apprehensive about what took place. The public was more up in arms than me.'
'I would not submit to any collaboration that wasn't on this level. I think that would be doing a disservice to the culture that I am a part of to accept anything less than what Alessandro has offered me. I think it's something that the younger people in my community could be very proud of.'
Shot by Glen Luchford, the campaign will launch in October followed by the collaborative capsule collection next spring.

Back in the pre-1950 days apple growers sprayed some pretty nasty stuff on their crops. The dreaded codling moth was the main target. But there was also friendly fire, and resulting were causalities were horses. Yes, horses of yesteryear paid the price for the ignorance of the farmers. Or was it ignorance? It seems to me that there is evidence that people noticed their horses were dying from it. Did they care about the horses? Well… read on. They put muzzles on them to mitigate the problem. I came across this article in the Spokane Spokesman-Review from 1997 where they interviewed an old time farmer named Gene McManus, who was in his 80's at the time. What he had to say about apple industry early knowledge of pesticide damage was shocking to me.
Check out this quote from the article:
The lead arsenate was considered more benign. When the weather got real hot, McManus and his brother Lyle would often hose each other down with the stuff, he said, shaking his head at an act that seems pretty stupid in retrospect. After all, it wasn't good for the horses.
"I don't know if it killed any (codling moth) worms, but it was deadly on horses." The horses would lose their wind after a few years of pulling the spray rigs. They could hardly walk and would have to be put out to pasture or put to death. Orchardists later learned to muzzle the horses to keep them from eating the sprayed orchard grass.
From what Gene says, they could clearly see that this was deadly on horses. The quote "After all, it wasn't good for the horses." Wait, what? You knew it was bad for them, and you…. didn't really care?
The later farmers decided to muzzle them. Did they ever consider that the stuff they were spraying could be extremely hazardous to the people handing the apples, eating the apples, etc? Could they not connect the dots? Dead horses=bad chemicals.
The average lifespan of an equine is in their mid-20s nowadays. Draft horses are lucky to make 20. That's a huge difference between "a few years" lifespan.
This brings up all sorts of questions. Mainly, why the apple industry always seem to turn a blind eye even in the face of strong evidence? Is the almighty dollar that important to them? What gives?

The Nile Monitor (Varanus niloticus) is a large member of the monitor lizard family (Varanidae).
Nile Monitors can grow to about 9 feet in length. They have muscular bodies, strong legs and powerful jaws. The teeth are sharp and pointed in juvenile animals and become blunt and peg-like in adults. They also possess sharp claws used for climbing, digging, defense, or tearing at their prey. Like all monitors they have a forked tongue, with highly developed olfactory properties.
Their nostrils are placed high on the snout, indicating that these animals are highly aquatic, but are also excellent climbers and quick runners on land. Nile Monitors feed on fish, snails, frogs, crocodile eggs and young, snakes, birds, small mammals, large insects, and carrion.
Nile Monitors live throughout Africa except for desert regions. Cases of Nile Monitors in Missouri & Florida have been reported, in particular Cape Coral, FL.
In Captivity
Nile Monitors require experienced care as pets and are not recommended for beginners; nevertheless they are often found in the pet trade.
Nile Monitors need a very large cage, as they can reach lengths of over five feet in adulthood. Because of their large size, adults are likely to require custom-built quarters. Soil, sand, or bark chippings can be used as substrate. The enclosure should contain things to make a suitable habitat such as rocks, driftwood, plastic plants or hollow logs. A water dish large enough for the lizard to soak in should be used. Nile Monitors have a tendency to defecate in the water dish, so clean it whenever soiled or at least daily.
Nile Monitors should have a daytime temperature gradient of about 27–32 °C (81–90 °F) and a night time temperature of about 26–27 °C (79–81 °F). A basking spot of 60 °C (140 °F) should be provided at least 12 hours a day. A thermometer can be used to verify the temperature. The humidity should be moderate.
This species is very hardy in captivity when properly maintained. Wild caught animals should be checked for internal parasites. The Nile monitor has a very aggressive temperament with a powerful bite and a lashing tail and therefore is very dangerous. If raised with regular handling and a positive view of its keeper, a Nile Monitor can to some extent be tamed.
Albino (amelanistic) specimens have been found and propagated in captivity.

Nice - Second-seeded John Isner has hit 16 aces to reach the quarter-finals of the Open de Nice in a tight all-American contest with Steve Johnson on Tuesday.
Isner was made to play for nearly two hours by the 55th-ranked Johnson before sealing a 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-3 victory.
"It was a pretty good match, I thought we both played pretty well," Isner said.
"In the third set, I was fortunate to get that break and held on from there."
No. 8 seed Juan Monaco also made it to the quarter-finals after he broke Sam Querrey five times in a 6-3, 6-1 win.
Sixth-seeded Nick Kyrgios used his strong serve to reach the second round with a 7-6 (5), 6-2 win over Mikhail Kukushkin.
The 20-year-old Kyrgios, who is among the outsiders at the French Open after making the final at the Estoril Open and beating Roger Federer in Madrid, lost only two points on his serve in the second set and converted three of his five break chances.
The 30th-ranked Australian will next face Dominic Thiem.
French qualifier Gianni Mina advanced when fifth-seeded Bernard Tomic retired with a virus after losing the opening set 6-2, and James Duckworth rallied past lucky loser Frances Tiafoe 6-7 (5), 7-5, 6-2 to set up a second-round match with top-seeded Gilles Simon.
Tiafoe, a 17-year-old American, has earned a wild card for the French Open, which starts on Sunday.
Seventh-seeded Jack Sock lost 5-7, 7-5, 6-1 to Dusan Lajovic in the first round and wild card Lucas Pouille breezed past Tim Smyczek 6-3, 6-0.

The story and its players look different in the latest screen iteration of "Dangerous Liaisons," but the venomous passions remain repellently, seductively familiar. Bankrolled by Chinese money and directed by a South Korean filmmaker, Jin-ho Hur, this Chinese-language version of the 18th-century French novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos opens in Shanghai in 1931, when the city was known as the Paris of the Orient. (Now it's just the center of the world.) That year a fighting-trim Mao Zedong helped create the Chinese Soviet Republic, and Japan invaded the Chinese province of Manchuria, setting up a puppet government. The second Sino-Japanese war was six years away.
Geopolitical tensions simmer at the outermost edges of "Dangerous Liaisons," which mostly unfolds as a divertingly lush tear-stained melodrama. Written by Yan Geling, it follows the overall streamlined contours and devious intrigues familiar from Stephen Frears's 1988 film of the Christopher Hampton stage adaptation. Once again a suave rake, Xie Yifan (Jang Dong-gun, wearing a Clark Gable smirk and 'stache), spends his nights busily bedding the local talent and his days sharing gossip with a female counterpart, Mo Jieyu (Cecilia Cheung). They are effectively the Shanghai match of Laclos's Vicomte de Valmont and Marquise de Merteuil, the twinned vipers who, while nestled in the bosom of the city's high society, conspire to seduce, conquer and destroy their prey.
Like ants fatefully drawn to honey, Xie and Mo's conquests seem very helpless and very doomed. Shortly after the movie opens Mo is pointing Xie toward a new target, the virginal Beibei (Candy Wang), a giggler in knee socks. Xie's gaze lingers over a widow, Du Fenyu (Zhang Ziyi), but Beibei proves the bigger prize because she and her virginity have been promised to a power broker. From how she flutters her lashes at her art teacher, Dai Wenzhou (Shawn Dou, behind a curtain of boy-band hair), Beibei appears eager to learn the ways of the flesh. Those plotting to help in her education feed the drama, as does the question of whether they will land triumphantly vertical or broken on the bed of their own destruction.
Schadenfreude carries a delectable tang no matter the language, and as the history of Hollywood shows, stories about pretty people behaving badly remain reliably alluring. How such beauties go rancid, and why, changes from decade to decade, and it's worth pointing out that Mr. Hampton's play and Mr. Frears's adaptation both landed in the 1980s, during the Thatcher and Reagan eras. This "Dangerous Liaisons" carries a suggestion of contemporary commentary too. As chanting protesters take to the streets, waving placards and shouting praise about China, the film's decadent lovelies remain singularly oblivious to the political tremors starting to shake their world. Given how fast, almost eagerly Mr. Hur turns to his story's glossy charms, audiences may not notice those tremors either.
Initially "Dangerous Liaisons" holds you with its sumptuous production design and costumes, despite a few choices that look as out of time as Mr. Dou's Bieber-esque swoop. Mr. Hur seems content simply to polish his film's luxurious facade, particularly with close-ups that loom like billboards for powdered cheeks and glossy hair. As the players and stakes shift, there's little evidence of the emotional texture that Mr. Frears brought to his film and certainly none of the pop culture savvy that fizzed up "Cruel Intentions," a telling of the tale with high schoolers. But when Zhang Ziyi weeps, her tremulous, heart-shuddering performance sends cracks across the film, and you grasp that the movie's meaning never existed only on its surface but also in what lies beneath.

inanimate and mechanical agents with sense and consciousness. The drollery and wit of a piece of wood is doubly droll and far. cical. Punch is not merry in himself, but "he is the cause of heartfelt mirth in other men." The wires and pulleys that govern his motions are conductors to carry off the spleen, and all "that perilous stuff that weighs upon the heart." If we see a number of people turning the corner of a street, ready to burst with secret satisfaction, and with their faces bathed in laughter, we know what is the matter—that they are just come from a puppet-show. Who can see three little painted, patched-up figures, no bigger than one's thumb, strut, squeak, and gibber, sing, dance, chatter, scold, knock one another about the head, give themselves airs of importance, and "imitate humanity most abominably," without laughing immoderately? We overlook the farce and mummery of human life in little, and for nothing; and what is still better, it costs them who have to play in it nothing. We place the mirth, and glee, and triumph, to our own account; and we know that the bangs and blows they have received go for nothing, as soon as the showman puts them up in his box and marches off quietly with them, as jugglers of a less amusing description sometimes march off with the wrongs and rights of mankind in their pockets! I have heard no bad judge of such matters say, that "he liked a comedy better than a tragedy, a farce better than a comedy, a pantomime better than a farce, but a puppet-show best of all." I look upon it, that he who invented puppet-shows was a greater benefactor to his species, than he who invented Operas I shall conclude this imperfect and desultory sketch of wit and humour with Barrow's celebrated description of the same subject. He says, " —But first it may be demanded, what the thing we speak of is, or what this facetiousness doth import; to which question I might reply, as Democritus did to him that asked the definition of a man—'tis that which we all see and know ; and one better apprehends what it is by acquaintance than I can inform him by description. It is, indeed, a thing so versatile and multiform, appearing in so many shapes, so many postures, so many garbs, so variously apprehended by several eyes and judgments, that it seemeth no less hard to settle a clear and certain notice thereof, than to make a portrait of Proteus, or to define the figure of fleeting air. Sometimes it lieth in pat allusion to a known story, or in seasonable application of a trivial saying, or in forging an apposite tale; sometimes it playeth in words and phrases, taking advantage from the ambiguity of their sense, or the affinity of their sound; sometimes it is wrapped in a dress of luminous expression; sometimes it lurketh under an odd similitude. Sometimes it is lodged in a sly question, in a smart answer; in a quirkish reason; in a shrewd intimation; in cunningly diverting or cleverly restoring an objection: sometimes it is couched in a bold scheme of speech; in a tart irony; in a lusty hyperbole; in a startling metaphor; in a plausible reconciling of contradictions, or in acute monsense: sometimes a scenical representation of persons or things, a counterfeit speech, a mimical look or gesture passeth for it; sometimes an affected simplicity, sometimes a presumptuous bluntness giveth it being; sometimes it riseth only from a lucky hitting upon what is strange; sometimes from a crafty wresting obvious matter to the purpose; often it consisteth in one knows not what, and springeth up one can hardly tell how. Its ways are unaccountable and inexplicable, being answerable to the numberless rovings of fancy and windings of language. It is, in short, a manner of speaking out of the simple and plain way (such as reason teacheth and knoweth things by,) which by a pretty surprising uncouthness in conceit or expression doth affect and amuse the fancy, showing in it some wonder, and breathing some delight thereto. It raiseth admiration, as signifying a nimble sagacity of apprehension, a special felicity of invention, a vivacity of spirit, and reach of wit more than vulgar: it seeming to argue a rare quickness of parts, that one can fetch in remote conceits applicable; a notable skill that he can dextrously accommodate them to a purpose before him, together with a lively briskness of humour, not apt to damp those sportful flashes of imagination. (Whence in Aristotle such persons are termed tričov, dexterous men, and surporal, men of facile or versatile manners, who can easily turn themselves to all things, or turn all things to themselves.) It also procureth delight by gratifying curiosity with its rareness or semblance of difficulty (as monsters, not for their beauty but their rarity; as juggling tricks, not for their use but their abstruseness, are beheld with pleasure;) by diverting the mind from its road of serious thoughts; by instilling gaiety and airiness of spirit; by provoking to such dispositions of spirit, in way of emulation of complaisance, and by seasoning matter, otherwise distasteful or insipid, with an unusual and thence grateful tang."—Barrow's Works, Serm. 14. I will only add, by way of general caution, that there is nothing more ridiculous than laughter without a cause, nor anything more troublesome than what are called laughing people. A professed laugher is as contemptible and tiresome a character as a professed wit: the one is always contriving something to laugh at, the other is always laughing at nothing. An excess of levity is as impertinent as an excess of gravity. A character of this sort is well personified by Spenser, in the 'Damsel of the Idle Lake'—
Any one must be mainly ignorant or thoughtless, who is surprised at everything he sees; or wonderfully conceited, who expects everything to conform to his standard of propriety. Clowns and idiots laugh on all occasions; and the common failing of wishing to be thought satirical often runs through whole families in country places, to the great annoyance of their neighbours. To be struck with incongruity in whatever comes before us, does not argue great comprehension or refinement of perception, but rather a looseness and flippancy of mind and temper, which prevents the individual from connecting any two ideas steadily or consistently together. It is owing to a natural crudity and precipitateness of the imagination, which assimilates nothing properly to itself. People who are always laughing, at length laugh on the wrong side of their faces; for they cannot get others to laugh with them. In like manner, an affectation of wit by degrees hardens the heart, and spoils good company and good manners. A perpetual succession of good things puts an end to common conversation. There is no answer to a jest, but another; and even where the ball can be kept up in this way without ceasing, it tires the patience of the by-standers, and runs the speakers out of breath. Wit is the salt of conversation, not the food. The four chief names for comic humour out of our own language are Aristophanes and Lucian among the ancients, Molière and Rabelais among the moderns. Of the two first I shall say, for I know but little. I should have liked Aristophanes better if he had treated Socrates less scurvily, for he has treated him most scurvily both as to wit and argument. His Plutus and his Birds are striking instances, the one of dry humour, the other of airy fancy.—Lucian is a writer who appears to deserve his full fame: he has the licentious and extravagant wit of Rabelais, but directed more uniformly to a purpose; and his comic productions are interspersed with beautiful and eloquent descriptions, full of sentiment, such as the exquisite account of the fable of the halcyon put into the mouth of Socrates, and the heroic eulogy on Bacchus, which is conceived in the highest strain of glowing panegyric. The two other authors I proposed to mention are modern, and French. Molière, however, in the spirit of his writings, is almost as much an English as a French author—quite a barbare in all in which he really excelled. He was unquestionably one of the greatest comic geniuses that ever lived; a man of infinite wit, gaiety, and invention—full of life, laughter, and whim. But it cannot be denied that his plays are in general mere farces, without scrupulous adherence to nature, refinement of character, or common probability. The plots of several of them could not be carried on for a moment without a perfect collusion between the parties to wink at contradictions, and act in defiance of the evidence of their senses. For instance, take the 'Medecin malgré lui' ('The Mock Doctor') in which a common wood-cutter takes upon himself, and is made successfully to support through a whole play, the character of a learned physician, without exciting the least suspicion; and yet notwithstanding the absurdity of the plot, it is one of the most laughable and truly comic productions that can well be imagined. The rest of his lighter pieces, the * Bourgeois Gentilhomme,' 'Monsieur Pourceaugnac, George * Dandin, (or 'Barnaby Brittle,') &c. are of the same description—gratuitous assumptions of character, and fanciful and outrageous caricatures of nature. He indulges at his peril in the utmost license of burlesque exaggeration; and gives a loose to the intoxication of his animal spirits. With respect to his two most laboured comedies, the 'Tartuffe' and 'Misanthrope, I confess that I find them rather hard to get through: they have much of the improbability and extravagance of the others, united with the endless common-place prosing of French declamation. What can exceed, for example, the absurdity of the 'Misanthrope, who leaves his mistress, after every proof of her attachment and constancy, for no other reason than that she will not submit to the technical formality of going to live with him in a wilderness? The characters, again, which Celimene gives of her female friends, near the opening of the play, are admirable satires, (as good as Pope's characters of women,) but not exactly in the spirit of comic dialogue. The strictures of Rousseau on this play, in his 'Letter to D'Alembert, are a fine specimen of the best philosophical criticism—The same remarks apply in a greater degree to the 'Tartuffe.' The long speeches and reasonings in this play tire one almost to death: they may be very good logic, or rhetoric, or philosophy, or anything but comedy. If each of the parties had retained a special pleader to speak his sentiments, they could not have appeared more verbose or intricate. The improbability of the character of Orgon is wonderful. This play is in one point of view invaluable, as a lasting monument of the credulity of the French to all verbal professions of wisdom or virtue; and its existence can only be accounted for from that astonishing and tyrannical predominance which words exercise over things in the mind of every Frenchman. The "Ecole des Femmes, from which Wycherley has borrowed his 'Country Wife, with the true spirit of original genius, is, in my judgment, the master-piece of Molière. The set speeches in the original play, it is true, would not be borne on the English stage, nor indeed on the French, but that they are carried off by the verse. The 'Critique de l'Ecole des Femmes, the dialogue of which is prose, is written in a very different style. Among other things, this little piece contains an exquisite, and almost unanswerable defence of the superiority of comedy over tragedy. Molière was to be excused for taking this side of the question,

NAIROBI, July 9 (Xinhua) -- Kenya's Gladys Cherono wants to improve on her Berlin marathon course record when she returns on Sept. 29 to defend her title in the German capital.
Cherono, who clocked 2:18:11 to win last year's race, is burying herself in training hoping to emerge stronger in September to fend off her rivals from her crown as she seeks the fourth win in Berlin.
"Last year, my target was to break the course record and run under 2:19:00 time. I was happy to have set a new course record. The weather conditions were good and it made me run fast. Hopefully, I will get similar conditions and be strong enough to shade off some seconds from my personal best time," Cherono said on Tuesday in Nairobi.
However, Cherono will face her fellow Kenyan Vivian Cheruiyot, who beat her in London in April and Olympic bronze medalist Ethiopian Mare Dibaba.
Last year, Cherono won the Berlin Marathon in a world-leading time of 2:18:11 and went on to finish fourth at the London Marathon in 2:24:10.
In April, she returned to London and still held on to finish fourth clocking 2:20:52.
"We are delighted to have the defending champion Gladys Cherono on the start line. With three very strong contenders in the line-up, the race could be center stage in September," said Race Director Mark Milde.
After victories in 2015 and 2017, Cherono secured her third triumph in Berlin last year.
The 36-year-old, who won the World Half Marathon title in 2014, also broke the course record of the Japanese Mizuki Noguchi of 2:19:12 which had stood for 13 years.
Cherono, a former world 10,000m champion from Moscow in 2013, must be at her best to beat Cheruiyot, who has marathon wins in Frankfurt, London and second place finishes in New York and London. But she believes she has the strides to take on any rival.
"My goal is now to win for the fourth time in Berlin," said Cherono.

Abu Dhabi: His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on Sunday chaired a meeting of the Supreme Council at the Presidential Palace in Abu Dhabi, on the 47th UAE National Day.
His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, was present.
Also present were Their Highnesses the Supreme Council Members and Rulers of the emirates, Dr Shaikh Sultan Bin Mohammad Al Qasimi of Sharjah, Shaikh Humaid Bin Rashid Al Nuaimi of Ajman, Shaikh Hamad Bin Mohammad Al Sharqi of Fujairah, Shaikh Saud Bin Rashid Al Mualla of Umm Al Quwain, and Shaikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi of Ras Al Khaimah.
During the meeting, they renewed the pledge to continue to work on enhancing and consolidating the Union and paving the way for a new phase of the UAE's history where the Federal Government and local governments will work in full coordination and integration to preserve the unity of the federal entity and maintain its gains.
The rulers exchanged greetings on the National Day and extended their deepest congratulations to President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who leads the country's drive towards greater progress and a more prosperous future.
They expressed their appreciation to Emirati citizens for their efforts and dedication to the nation, saluting UAE Armed Forces' commanders and officers as well as security services and martyred heroes who dedicated their lives and sacrificed their precious blood for their country's glory.High spirits, pride and joy lingered in all corners of Sharjah's Al Qasba canal area as the nation celebrated the 47th National Day.
The rulers underlined that the National Day celebrations reflect the national cohesion and strengthen the spirit of the union and its noble values laid by the late Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of the nation.
They thanked the leaders and peoples of countries in the world who shared with the UAE its joyful celebrations of its national day, which coincided with the Year of Zayed, making Emiratis and residents joyfully celebrate two occasions.
Role model
They emphasized that the UAE has become a living example in promoting the culture of tolerance and a role model of humanitarian work emulated by others.
The rulers highlighted the importance of their meeting this year, which gains special significance because it coincided with the UAE's successful launch of its Emirati-built satellite KhalifaSat that marks a new milestone for the space sector — and transforming the UAE into a regional and international hub for space science and technology.
The council members reviewed the country's drive of national action and its future approaches, as well as the latest regional and international developments.

Psychoanalysis & Philosophy: Philosophers of the Unconscious
From Schopenhauer to Nietszche, Freud and Jung.
By the second half of the nineteenth century, the outlines of our contemporary intellectual situation had begun to appear.
On the one hand, the triumph of scientific materialism had ensured that our public institutions would embody the values of the Enlightenment. While on the other, the power and creativity of Romanticism are still reflected in our 'counter-cultures' and in our personal relationship to our inner, psychological worlds. On this course we will study two giant figures of nineteenth century thought – Schopenhauer and Nietzsche – and trace the after-effects of their philosophies in Freudian 'Psychoanalysis' and Jungian 'Analytical Psychology'.
More information about this course.
Keith Barrett BA PhD – having received his PhD from the Wellcome Centre for the History of Medicine at University College London, Dr Barrett specialises in both philosophy and psychoanalysis and has taught at several leading institutions, including Imperial College and Birkbeck College.

Renovation of 49 flats and one cottage [ type 5 ]
Composed of three buildings dating back to the sixties, this dilapidated residence including 50 council flats in three buildings represents well a past architectural period. Being a real sieve in terms of energy waste, we opted for an outside insulation redesigning the balconies and the loggias so that they are real living places and not only storage areas.
Therefore thanks to this relooking treatment, we brushed up again a modern and prestigious housing image for the inhabitants. Entrances and flats have been the target of a deep renovation. The creation of a single-family five bedroom home T5 accomplished our flats plan. The renovated area swept away the past and gave a new architectural identity to the town centre.

The wireless card is a wireless terminal device used for surfing the Internet through a wireless connection network under the wire-less coverage of a wireless local area network. That is, a wireless card is a device that can connect to the Internet without connecting a network cable.
The Factors to be Considered in Buying Wireless Cards >>>
Four Types of Wireless Cards >>>
According to different interface types, we can divide wireless cards into the following seven types.
1. USB wireless card
Now USB wireless card is the most common one. This kind of wireless card can be used by desktop users or notebook users as long as drivers are installed. The USB interface wireless card can be used for both notebook computers and desktop computers. It is convenient to carry and flexible to use. But its signal is the worst.
2. PCI interface wireless card
PCI interface wireless card is a special network card for desktop computers. The PCI interface wireless card has an external antenna, and the signal is stronger than other wireless cards. And its heat dissipation is good, so it has better stability.
3. MINI-PCI wireless card
MINI-PCI is a built-in wireless network card. Its advantages are no need to occupy PC card or USB slot.
4. PCI-E wireless card
PCI-E connection is based on a bidirectional serial (1-rii) point-to-point connection. Its main advantages is its high data transmission rate.
5.MINI PCI-E interface wireless card
MINI PCI-E is an interface based on PCI-E bus. Its data transmission rate has increased to a very high frequency, reaching a high bandwidth that PCI cannot provide.
7. PCMCIA interface wireless card
PCMCIA interface wireless card is a special network card for notebook computers. PCMCIA buses are divided into two types, one is 16-bit PCMCIA and the other is 32-bit CardBus. It has the characteristics of easy installation and light volume. Its stability is second only to PCI interface wireless card.
Now wireless technology has brought us infinite convenience. If you are interested in wireless cards, please click the link below.

Comments about 6" Uncoated Foam Ball:
We purchased these foam balls for a children's martial arts program! They are perfect for our goal which is to have children striking or blocking a moving object which will not scare them or harm them! Great lightweight foam material! Great PRICE compared to other online retailers. My only hesitation was that they could not guarantee the 40 balls we ordered would be the same color however they were able to send all the same color!

Let me share with you one of my favorite artists, Nicola Lopez. Her work is not only remarkable to look at but it also holds such a deeper meaning then what meets the eye.
Her work is a combination of drawing and printmaking that creates such beautiful images. With her large scale work she creates landscapes that seems realistic but also of an imaginary quality! I just love seeing the different bursts of color in her work as well! If you enjoy these few pieces you should really check out more of her work on her website!

Purpose – This paper attempts to estimate a regional input-output table for Selangor for 2000. Then, the regional input-output table is used to analyse the production structures in Selangor. Design/Methodology/Approach – The regional input-output table for Selangor is estimated by applying the RAS technique. Accordingly, under the homogeneity assumption of production structures and technologies between Selangor and Malaysia, the structure of Selangor's inter-industry is estimated based on the structure of national inter-industry transactions. Findings – Results showed that Selangor has modest production structure and highly dependent on imports and exports. The inter-industry linkages analysis indicated that manufacturing, mining and quarrying, and government service sectors are the key sectors in Selangor, where these sectors have potential to stimulate growth in the economy.Originality/Value – This paper is a pioneer study for the construction of a regional input-output table for Malaysia, especially for Selangor, by using a partial survey approach. For the purpose of planning, the regional input-output table is an important economic tool because it compiles the whole demand and supply of production sectors in an economy.Paper type – Research paper

Fourteen Charter Chambers barristers have been commended by the latest edition of the Legal 500, which bases rankings on interviews with peers and instructing solicitors.
Charter has been recognised in Crime, Professional Discipline and Regulatory Law and in Business and Regulatory Law, Joint Head of Chambers Neil Hawes QC has been listed in Tier 1.
Neil Hawes QC is also one of three nominees for Chambers and Partners Directory's Silk of the Year Award.
From the Legal 500:
Recommended for criminal law, as well as related fraud and regulatory matters, Charter Chambers is 'a well-trusted, leading set of chambers with very experienced counsel', although junior members are seen by solicitors as the set's real strength. New senior clerk James Hall is 'extremely keen, young, and hungry. His enthusiasm is beginning to prove an asset and as he becomes more experienced in the role'. The service of the clerks overall is 'very good'; 'they often go above and beyond when a problem arises.'

[Cristina Baccay Holdsworth, Eleanor Baccay Reece, & Blair D. Sullivan]
Back when I was on staff at Georgia Tech [1993 – 2001] Facebook had not been created and the iPhone didn't exist. I was still shooting film.
While Match.com was founded in 1995 students were still doing silly things at Georgia Tech to get dates in 2001.
I was shooting with ISO 100 most of the time. This meant I was lighting almost everything inside.
The cool thing is we did have PhotoShop. It was released February 19, 1990. This let me scan all the images we were making and put Metadata with each photo. So most of the photos we would put some caption information on each photo.
So often when we go back to photos the biggest problem is having some context around the photo.
This week I stumbled over a folder of images that I created when I left Georgia Tech to start freelancing in April 2002.
Seeing the family photos during this time of starting my new season as a full-time freelancer has put into perspective how long I have now been freelancing full-time.
Today it is easier than ever to just take a moment when you are in Lightroom, PhotoShop or Bridge to add just a few words about the photo that will help give context.
Without some captions generations in the future will not know any of the significance or who people are in the photos that you have been taking.
Don't Rely on Social Media to Store Your Photos
My Samsung Galaxy S10 takes the wide shots at 3456 x 4608 pixels. When I upload this to Facebook it will cut that size to 1500 x 2000 pixels. This is basically cutting the quality in half.
For social media that is fine, but if later you want a large wall print now you are limited greatly to the size you can print.
There are many online services that you can use with your phone to store all your images at high resolution. Google Photos, Amazon Photos and many others can do a great job of storing images for you.
Adding Text with Google Photos
The process of adding a custom description to a single photo is the same whether you're on the Google Photos app or website:
- Tap or click in to view a single photo, then select the information button (a small "i" icon) to view more details on the photo.
- You'll see things like the capture date, file name, camera model and location — select "Add a description" to add more to it.
- There doesn't seem to be a character limit (or if there is one it's quite large), so go ahead and add in any extra information you think is relevant to the photo. Maybe a little back story, what's going on in the picture or perhaps some other bit of information that can't be picked up from the plain EXIF data of the photo.
The extra details should help if you're searching for pictures in the future on Google Photos, but at least right now you'll have those details synced up to that photo for your own benefit when you view it manually. Go forth and add all of the extra info your pictures deserve!

But the fire is so delightful.
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
I've been singing that song since yesterday. I love a good snow storm! About noon yesterday we started getting a lot of lake effect snow and then the storm moved in over night. It's still snowing slightly so now the dig out begins.

Addison still woke up this morning with no fever so that makes me very happy. The doc yesterday gave us a cup for Addison to pee in to check for a bladder infection. But seriously..... you want my little 2 year old to pee in a cup?
That is absurd.
So absurd that I tried anyway... :)
Poor Adi was so scared of the cup. I think she thinks it is going to come out and grab her bum! She did not want to go in it.. She would go in the potty alone, but it had to go directly in the cup to be sterile. Not having it. After 30 minutes of trying to bribe her, I gave up.. And since she is feeling better, I think I am just gonna keep an eye on her and forget the cup.
Hurrican Dolly is on the way... Not that I am worried for weather's sake, but I heard on the news that gas could hit $6.00 a gallon. Holy Moly! I sure hope not... Otherwise I may have to find another job! :)
Kirstynn woke up again last night. That makes like 3 weeks straight of no good sleep... You'd think that I would be getting used to it by now, but not really...

Harry Redknapp insists Rio Ferdinand still has a part to play in QPR's survival bid as the former England captain returns from suspension.
Ferdinand was hit with a three-game ban following comments he posted on Twitter but is now eligible to return at a key time for the R's - who are without Richard Dunne for the visit of Leicester on Saturday as he serves his own suspension having collected five yellow cards.
Former Manchester United man Ferdinand has endured a difficult start to life at Loftus Road having decided to be reunited with Redknapp at the twilight of his playing career.
He started the first seven Premier League games of the season, with QPR taking just one point and keeping one clean sheet in that time, before a groin injury saw him sidelined. Then he was handed his Football Association punishment for his Tweet.
But Redknapp is now ready to welcome the 36-year-old back into the fold as the club enter a period of games which could prove vital to their top-flight survival.
"Absolutely, he can play a big role," said Redknapp.
"Hopefully he is going to be fit. He is going to train and we will assess his fitness. He has not played for a few weeks now. He had the suspension.
"We will have a look at it and see how he is. Rio does not have anything to prove to anybody. He has been a fantastic player for so many years. He is not one that I have to worry about."
Redknapp also leapt to the defence of Ferdinand's form leading into his lay-off, insisting he remains happy to have signed him over the summer.
"It has been difficult," he conceded.
"He has come from a team who win every week to a team who has come out of the Championship and found it difficult. It has been a difficult period.
"He probably was not getting a lot of protection. It was not just Rio, whoever played at the back found it difficult in those early games. We have looked more solid recently. I am delighted to have him here."
Ferdinand may be in contention to return but fellow summer recruit Sandro is missing having injured his knee in the defeat to Newcastle on Saturday.
Although it is unclear when the former Tottenham man will return, Redknapp believes the Brazil international is lucky not to be facing a lengthy spell out.
"It could have been a damaging one for him and could have put him out for a year," he said.
"That is a big blow to us, losing him until after the Christmas period. He took a bad bang on his knee. We looked the video of it and it could have been even worse.
"The bang he took on that knee, it could have been an awful lot worse, and his knee must have been very strong to take that. It is not easy for him but he has got to come back stronger."

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Author: S.A.
System: PC, PS4, Xbox One
Release Date: January 24, 2017
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is the latest and greatest in the horror game franchise, developed by the producers over at Capcom industries. The game is set to release on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One – the PS4 release allowing for VR support with its headset. The upcoming game is the eleventh game in the franchise, and the first of which will be played from a first person perspective.
We start off as Ethan, the protagonist, and engage the world through his perspective. During the course of the game we are promised access to a variety of weapons, ranging from pistols, shotguns, flamethrowers, explosives and chainsaws to fight off our upcoming enemies. Though like many Resident Evil games, barring Resident Evil 6, developers have noted it will not be a "gun fest".
That said, waste your ammo sparingly.
In fact many features will return to the game, from healing herbs, puzzle solving, and of course resource management – as taking on the undead has never been an easy task.
The game itself is set in 2017, set four years after Capcom's last game, Resident Evil 6. It will take place in Dulvey, Louisiana, which is a fictional city in the Southern United States. The main character, Ethan Winters, is a new addition to the Resident Evil character roster, and unfortunately doesn't add much in terms of combat skills due to his civilian nature. He is out in this god forsaken land due to one reason – the same as every other man in terrifying situations – he's searching for his loved one, his wife Mia. Which leads him to what appears to be the main setting of the game, the derelict plantation mansion, home of what can only be the scariest family on earth: the "Baker Family".
The game promises to be terrifying – so if you are to pick it up, bring someone with you for the ride, preferably less jumpy than yourself.

Atlanta United finally broke their New York Red Bulls hex to grab a 3-0 advantage in the Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs Eastern Conference Championship with a first leg victory in front of their home fans on Sunday night.
The hosts owned play from the start, and went ahead through striker Josef Martinez near halftime. After thanking their lucky stars that the Red Bulls had a Bradley Wright-Phillips leveler waved away by the offside flag, Atlanta tacked on a late pair of goals to put one foot in MLS Cup.
Atlanta United
Brad Guzan (6.5) - The US international wasn't pressed into many goalkeeping duties, making one easy save in stoppage time. He did distribute well, though, especially in the first half.
Franco Escobar (8) - The Five Stripes right back repeatedly pushed forward to take threatening positions in the first half, but could have done more damage with his final third play. That wasn't the case after the break, as he coolly finished off a fine Atlanta move for their second goal and picked up the assist on their third by freeing Tito Villalba.
Michael Parkhurst (7) - The Atlanta captain covered plenty of ground to stop numerous Red Bulls advances cold. Parkhurst also played a handful of helpful passes out of the back.
Jeff Larentowicz (7.5) - The veteran put an inch-perfect cross on a platter for Martinez to net the opener. Larentowicz was also as solid as could be at the back, including standing in the way of a goalbound Tyler Adams shot when the game was still tight late.
Leandro Gonzalez Pirez (7.5) - The stylish defender impressively piled up 20 stops, with several coming when he pushed into midfield. To boot, he played several freeing outlets and switches to both flanks. The man known as "LGP" also drew a yellow card, but one could argue it was a shrewd foul.
Greg Garza (5) - The left back got forward early, but wasn't able to make much of it. Garza was also easily the least effective Atlanta defender on the night.
Eric Remedi (7) - It was a strong overall outing from the Argentine, who was probably the victors' unsung hero. When he wasn't stepping in to reclaim the ball, he was playing sneaky slip passes to put teammates in good attack positions.
Darlington Nagbe (7) - Time and again, the US midfielder was a one-man pressure valve. Nagbe repeatedly worked out of crowds to earn the home side some space on the ball.
Julian Gressel (6.5) - After what amounted to a darned near invisible opening frame, Gressel got far more busy after the break. He released teammates on some counters and eventually made a smart fast break run of his own to notch a drag-back assist.
Miguel Almiron (7) - He never really grabbed the game by the throat, but did constantly make the Red Bull defense account for his threat. Almiron finally pulled off the big play he was after by keying their second goal with a defense-splitting pass before the pass.
Josef Martinez (7.5) - After barely seeing the ball during the opening half hour, the Golden Boot winner then put his side up to stay with a brilliant goal. I'm not sure which was better, the elegant chest collection to get free or the brief patient pause before his shot. Martinez also pitched in with some nice hold up touches.
Coach "Tata" Martino (7.5) - It's not so much that the boss authored a diabolical game plan. He trusted his midfielders to control the middle (they did) and his attackers to take their chances (they did). Perhaps most importantly, Martino got his boys to take it to what had been a bugaboo opponent.
Tito Villalba (7.5) - After wiggling through two defenders only to strike the post, Villalba was moaning to the the heavens. One would imagine it was an entirely different conversation following his second great chance, as the late sub spectacularly picked the low corner to put his side comfortably in the series' driver seat.
Chris McCann (6) - No mistakes from the left back sub.
Ezequiel Barco (6.5) - The late participant helped his team break pressure and killed some clock on the dribble.
New York Red Bulls
Luis Robles (6.5) - He might wish for another crack at the Martinez opener, but honestly, it would be harsh to fault Robles on any of the goals. The goalkeeper did pull off a strong tackle to squash one excellent Atlanta chance, and added a couple of good saves.
Michael Murillo (5.5) - For the most part, the Red Bulls right back was decent on the night. Murillo supported what possession the visitors had and made some solid stops. His most notable demerit came when Almiron's throughball cut him out of Atlanta's second goal.
Tim Parker (2.5) - Parker made a couple of strong interventions, but they were overshadowed by mistakes on and off the ball. He misjudged the cross on Atlanta's first, chose the wrong lane on their second and was caught out on their capper.
Aaron Long (5) - It was a tale of two game states for the MLS Defender of the Year. Long's passing out of the back was often abysmal, but he also put out a ton of fires. That is, until getting away with allowing Villalba to ghost through him for a capper.
Connor Lade (3) - The substitute left back had a rough night. Lade barely offered anything going forward and was repeatedly beaten off the dribble. On Atlanta's second goal, he wandered too close to goal, leaving the cut back lane wide open for Escobar.
Tyler Adams (4.5) - The coach's tactical choice really pulled the teeth out of Adams' game to a prominent extent. He made some good defensive plays around the Red Bulls area, but failed to cause a single turnover at or beyond the midfield stripe. To make matters worse, the youngster committed several stress-inducing turnovers.
Sean Davis (3) - The 25-year-old was never able to find the game. He constantly misplayed passes up the middle and rarely stopped the home side from running up the gut.
Kaku (4) - The Red Bulls playmaker couldn't get anything going in the first half, but improved slightly after halftime. It wasn't nearly enough, though.
Daniel Royer (4) - While he did make a couple of nice defensive plays in the first half, Royer offered next to nothing in attack. Some of that could be chalked up to his being asked to sit so deep, but not all of it.
Alex Muyl (3) - Muyl did less defensively than his bookend, and nothing came from a couple of bursts into the final third. His biggest guilty charge, however, was filed when he wiped out a would-be equalizer by standing offside.
Bradley Wright-Phillips (5) - If you don't count his nullified strike from a set-piece knockdown, BWP was entirely starved for service. He did try to help by springing his wingers with some outlet passes.
Coach Chris Armas (2) - The Red Bulls have owned the Five Stripes by playing in a particular structure, and it was baffling to see that blueprint largely discarded. Armas' gambit kinda worked for 30 minutes, but then Atlanta broke the ice. The away coach never truly adjusted his plan, either on the drawing board or with subs, and that's why the Supporters' Shield winners head home facing a very difficult mission.
Derrick Etienne Jr. (4.5) - The speedster tried to ask some questions of the Atlanta defense, but none of them were particularly testing. And on the third goal, he lost a challenge on the eventual crosser and it was fatal.
Marc Rzatkowski (-) - A mere cameo.
Brian White (5) - One could saw the same thing about White, if not for the fact that he fired meekly on a pretty good chance to grab a late away goal.

Software piracy is a big issue, there is no questioning that. What is there to be questioned is exactly what needs to be done to combat it. One of the measures being proposed currently in the U.S. Congress is the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and it appears to have garnered the support of some of the bigger companies in our beloved gaming industry.
According to a document hosted by the Global Intellectual IP Center, which has since been taken down, Nintendo, Sony, and Electronic Arts sponsored a measure recommended to Congress similar to eh current SOPA movement. For those a little lost in the details, the SOPA bill would allow the United States government to set up a government firewall for all Internet access within the U.S. to block out sites that were deemed "unwanted". Basically, they could cut off any and all access to the any site that feel infringes on a U.S. copyright.
It is a little scary to think that such censorship would be freely available to our government despite the severity of the piracy situation. Do we really want Big Brother controlling what sites you can or cannot access? We're not sure how we feel about that, and even more confused as to why someone like Nintendo or Sony would support such a movement.
