Python is an Object Oriented, High level, Interpreted, Dynamic & multipurpose programing language. Python makes Development & debugging fast because there is no compilation steps. It require less number of lines to finish the program as compare to other programming language like java, c++, etc. KR Network Cloud is the best python training institute in Delhi. We also provide online python training with live project. In my opinion python is very powerful language that's why Bank of America has chosen python language to maintain its data.
It`s design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages such as C. The Python language provides constructs intended to enable clear programs on both a small and large scale.

"Dear Jim,
It is just amazing how you are able to personally size up your customers' personalities and match them with the right instrument.
You did an awesome job selecting the J. Grandjon for me. I fell in love with the violin as soon as I saw it. It is a present from my husband on our 50th wedding anniversary, a beautiful gift.
I am only sorry that J. Grandjon will turn over in his grave listening to me since I am a beginner. Every false note I will play on it will still be music to my ears.
Thanks, Jim
Ursula Tull"

2016 Volume 89 Issue 2 Pages 183-191
The dispersion of carbon nanotubes is a key issue for maximizing their performance in many applications. Here we describe the design and synthesis of an efficient dispersant for the so-called "super-growth" single-walled carbon nanotubes (SG-SWNTs) to provide a stable and homogeneous dispersion in typical organic solvents simply by sonication. The synthesized dispersant is a copolymer composed of a naphthalene diimide and poly(dimethylsiloxane), and the dispersions were characterized using visible absorption, Raman, AFM, and TGA measurements as well as molecular-mechanics simulations. It was found that the copolymer efficiently dissolves the SG-SWNTs in many solvents including methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and toluene that are widely-used solvents in polymer/resin-related industrial areas.

One of the largest cryptocurrency exchange – Bitstamp is set to be sold to South Korean investors for $400 million dollars, the New York Times finance and tech journalist Nathaniel Popper tweeted not disclosing his sources. So far, there is no official comment from Bitstamp nor the investors, regarding the allegations. However, other sources familiar with the cryptocurrency market are also confirming the reports sparking a great debate for the future of Bitstamp.
Founded in Luxembourg in 2011, Bitstamp is a bitcoin marketplace that allows people from all around the world to safely buy and sell bitcoins. The platform is currently ranked number 11 in terms of 24-hour exchange volume on CoinMarketCap. Bitstamp is currently managing $173.4 million dollars' volume being BTC/USD, BTC/EUR and ETH/USD the most traded pairs with an 80% of the total trading volume of the exchange.
While many impatiently are demanding comments from Bitstamp's officials, others are already determined to leave Bitstamp because of the lack of familiarity with the South Korean law on crypto regulations.
There are also those who are calming the atmosphere in the cryptocurrency world, noting that change in the ownership of Bitstamp does not necessarily mean changes for the company.
Will be Bitstamp sold to South Korean investors? The doubt is still to be cleared. Given the position of South Korea in the world, whatever news coming from there, undoubtedly affects the crypto market in one way or another. That said, how the potential acquisition of Bitstamp by South Korean investors will affect the crypto market, is yet to be seen.

text: I know my survival is hard to believe. When I think back, I can hardly believe it myself. My crude exploitation of Richard Parker's weak sea legs is not the only explanation. There is another: I was the source of food and water. Richard Parker had been a zoo animal as long as he could remember, and he was used to sustenance coming to him without his lifting a paw. True, when it rained and the whole boat became a rain catcher, he understood where the water came from. And when we were hit by a school of flying fish, there too my role was not apparent. But these events did not change the reality of things, which was that when he looked beyond the gunnel, he saw no jungle that he could hunt in and no river from which he could drink freely. Yet I brought him food and I brought him fresh water. My agency was pure and miraculous. It conferred power upon me. Proof: I remained alive day after day, week after week. Proof: he did not attack me, even when I was asleep on the tarpaulin. Proof: I am here to tell you this story.

The future of HR technology is looking great. In a recent blog post, the top 10 trends for 2014 technology were highlighted. In this post, we'll focus on what we believe are the top four.
HR data will be just as prominent and secure in the cloud as onsite.
As technology continues to develop we'll be confident that our data is secure in the cloud.
Mobile tools will reign supreme.
We're working in an age where most of the content we search for is done on our mobile devices. In 2014 we'll be applying for jobs and doing everything on mobile that we once did on a desktop.
Big data will be bigger than ever.
Right now we're using big data, but not to it's full extent. In 2014 big data will be bigger than ever.
HR Solutions will become more data-focused.
The programs used by HR professionals will help create more informed decisions because the data will be able to be sorted in a more efficient manner.
As Blake says in his post, "2014 will be the year of HR Technology."
Back To Resources
As job opportunities become available, your employees, especially those feeling unchallenged and under-valued, may begin to seek out other options. Do you want your best people to quit? Here are eight ways to ensure that they don't!
An important question to consider, as a CEO or manager, is: what value does a healthy workforce have in relation to my employee's productivity and organization's bottom line?
Does it seem like you never have enough time and your schedule is always full? Does your department continue to be plagued by manual processes even though everyone says it's the "digital age?" Did you follow the experts' advice to get rid of paper and put data in electronic systems, yet still have a barrage of data problems? If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.

Hey there. One more day to go. Tomorrow is the big vote and we'll see if the forces of reason win out over the forces of fear and lack of information (its a weak force 🙂 )
Take a look at the events map, there are some people planning to cover skytrains in vancouver and maybe bridges too so that no one can get home tonight without having to think about BC-STV again, at least for a second.
If you haven't already, take a look at this video from Christy Clark, former Deputy Premier of BC and current host on CKNW. Be sure to rate it with five stars and leave a comment. This has drawn some attention and some people think it may be turning the tide in our favour. We'll see tomorrow night.

Build me an application icon
Budjetti $10-30 USD
Hi all, currently my business partner and I are working on an application to be introduced in China (living in Beijing at present moment). The application centers on the job market. Adjectives we are trying to exploit through this icon include: simplicity, calming, ease, fun, hopeful, and empowering. This project would be specifically for the application icon, not the logo of the company.
Here are a few brainstorming ideas to give you some direction of the icon:
* Lighthouse-symbolizing finding a path in the crazy job market
* Pathway leading to a sun-signifying a bright future
* Modified compass with the letter "E" inside of compass
Here are some possible colors:
* Different shades of blue: both light and calming and exciting and vibrant (can even veer towards blue/green or teal)
* Calming, tranquil, and soft shades of green and orange
* Vibrant shades of orange for differentiation from other colors
* Variations of white-both fresh and calming shades
* Variations of yellow (Not bright yellow or athletic gold)
* Orangish-red, again for a sharp contrast from other selected colors
Please however, feel free to make professional suggestions of your own, as we are open to modifications.
Before working on the project, we will ask that you submit an outline of your proposal (privately).
In addition, this project is open to all freelancers. We are a young company, so we understand that getting experience can sometimes be the toughest part.
Thank you for your consideration!
*Update for the icon symbol:
-Due to the Chinese culture: please also consider the possibility of using a Phoenix and Buddhism Wealth Vase. Perhaps the Phoenix could be wrapping around the vase. Again, use your creative imagination.

Sorry guys, I thought I'd be back by now. Everyone tells me how *great* the second trimester is. But I'm still feeling queasy and gross, and I'm lucky to manage to heat a can of Spaghetti Os.
I just found this website, thanks to a link my cousin Alex shared in my Google Reader.
Our Best Bites. The most recent recipes/ideas are for halloween food, and Halloween food is SO. MUCH. FUN. They have some really cute ideas that I might try out if I can ever walk into the kitchen without gagging.
The recipe that Alex linked to was for Pies in a Jar. This is just so adorable, and I really really want to feel well enough to try it out.
DO YOU HEAR THAT, PREGNANCY GODS?! I WANT TO FEEL BETTER NOW. okay? Thanks.
I actually did have a recipe to post, but then I forgot what it was. So along with feeling sick, pregnancy brain has already kicked in. I'll have to see if Zach remembers what it was.

About a distant land
Where lived a boy, hair white as snow
His name was Merriland.
The town he lived in was a bore
The train passed only twice;
The people there were very old
And didn't seem so nice.
Their eyes were green as emerald
They shined so bright at night;
Though many of them were just bald
No one had hair so bright.
Poor little boy named Merriland
He saw them stare and stare,
He bought a hat from a small band
The price of a train's fare.
He blended in without a sweat
He had turned into glass
And on the streets, brunette, brunette
"I think, produced in mass!"
Standing beside; the frown
That Merriland just couldn't hide:
Her hair was simply brown.
A day of boring lessons passed,
The girl asked for advice
She did not know the town, she asked
"Where could I see wild mice?"
The boy did not expect to find
A person who thought too
That mice were cute, as in his mind
They weren't so taboo.
He led her to the yellow mill
Where farmers kept the rice
"Isn't it weird, that on this hill
Is where we find the mice?"
As the young girl looked at the floor
And then, the wind gave aid
The scary creaking of the door
Made the young girl afraid
So much that she jumped up so quick
So fast, her wig fell slow
Her brownish hair was just a trick
Her hair was white as snow.
She looked at him, so close to tears
But Merriland just smiled
He took the hat he had for years
She smiled a smile so wide.
But when they finally came back
The people blocked their route
Since mice were not to be observed
They wanted them both out.
They ran towards the marching band
Which took them in; they know
That they will smile in any land
The children of the snow.

This is the recent news about Keppel REIT, where they have divested an Australian property for 27% above the recorded book value.
This is 40% higher than their purchase price done in end 2010, which means they made handsome capital gains of 40% in a short span of 5+ years. That translates to capital gains of 6% per year, and adding in the rental income, it should be quite a handsome investment for the REIT.
Sure, this property is a tiny $160 mil AUD, which is small compared to the portfolio book valuation of $4,400 mil SGD. However, it does give me a lot more confidence of their property valuation that is on their books. Imagine, what if the whole REIT itself was "worth" 27% more than its book value?
Based on the last quarters data, their NAV is $1.37 (of course, the new quarter data is coming out soon and I would reckon would be revised lower). Yet, the stock price is trading at a huge discount to NAV at $0.90. This is a discount to book value of 34%! Keppel REIT is trading at 66% of its book value.!
If Keppel REIT was to trade at a 27% premium of its book value, that would imply an almost 90% gain in it's stock price!
Of course, that is rather unlikely. Not that its property isn't worth a premium to its book value or not, but rather I doubt anyone would be coming in to buy out their portfolio.
The thing I like about Keppel REIT is that 70% of their leases are not due for renewal until 2018, and I personally think that there will be a shit storm is the coming year or 2 which would adversely affect the economy. Have leases expiry only from 2018 is a good thing in my opinion.
I did see TI's recent post bringing up the REIT managers fee and I'm quite shocked about the 24% fee as of revenue. Anyway, I need to investigate into this further, but at least to me for now, Keppel REIT is an asset play.
I've mentioned before that Keppel REIT is one of my top picks if it came down to REITs. I care very little about "interest rates" when it comes to thinking about REITs. Yes, in the short-term they are affected by these little shifts. In the long term, I would be pretty amazed if you can show me a correlation. REITs and bonds (which are inversely related to interest rates) have an almost perfectly zero relationship.
Personally, I HATE buying REITs at a premium over valuation. One of my main takeaways from the REIT bible is that you should never ever ever buy a REIT at a premium over valuation unless you can strongly justify it. Basically, it is almost always "safer" to buy a REIT below valuation than above. Book value isn't the only metric in the word, but I would like to stress and emphasize my preference for using this metric when it comes to REITs. With P/NAV as my anchoring metric, followed by other things that I look it, this framework has served me rather well with my REIT investments, steering me clear from the obviously retardedly overvalued REITs. (IREIT at 17% premium over NAV? Hello? Common sense to brain, do you read me, over?)
Although I only have a paltry 200 shares in Keppel REIT directly, I do own Keppel Corp, which owns 45% of Keppel REIT. I am thinking about increasing my position in Keppel REIT.

Keppel REIT Divests Property ABOVE Book Value
1 comment:
Hi GMGH,ReplyDelete
what is important to note is Keppel REIT's two gems, MBFC and OFC have income support till 2018/2017 promised by Kepland, who coincidentally is the REIT manager. The rental support for MBFC is approx $10.80 psf/month (any rent lower Keppel Land will top up).
Once these income supports expire after 2018, will K Reit assets still be valued as valuable according to valuations? Currently office rental rates are at $10.40 and declining
Observe the house rules.

Dans Les Arbres - Dans Les Arbres (2006)
jazz | 1cd | eac-flac-cue-log-cover | 270MB
ECMECM info:
Guitarist Ivar Grydeland (born 1976 in Trondheim) and percussionist Ingar Zach (born 1971 in Oslo) have worked together since 1998. Both are innovative and adaptive players, exponents of extended technique, musicians who've modified their instruments to meet the needs of the music. In 2000 they co-founded the record label SOFA providing a platform for improvised/intuitive music and, often, bringing improvisers from Norway together with players from around the globe. Collaborators have included Evan Parker, Derek Bailey, Barry Guy, Philipp Wachsmann, Tony Oxley, Jim O'Rourke, Phil Minton, Susie Ibarra and dozens more. Several of these have worked also with the large ensemble No Spaghetti Edition (NSE), of which Zach and Grydeland are core members.
Clarinettist Xavier Charles (born in France 1963) and Christian Wallumrød (born 1971) have both performed and recorded with the NSE. Wallumrød first collaborated with the Zach/Grydeland duo in 2003: they had approached him after hearing the ECM release "Sofienberg Variations", feeling there was common ground to be investigated. In 2004 what would become the Dans les arbres quartet convened for the first time. In 2006, all four musicians recorded together on NSE's "Sketches of a Fusion" album a project that underlined, for all participants, the potential of further collaborative work. In July of that year Charles, Grydeland, Wallumrød and Zach recorded "Dans les arbres", the album, at the Festiviteten gallery in Eidsvoll, Norway.

You know when you're putting something away and you think you've found a place that you easily will remember when next you look for this thing, and when you need it again it turns out you do not remember were you placed it.
And then you end up buying new stuff because you can't find the old because you don't remember where you put it last?
Well, that's happened to me quite a few times.
For instance with ginger bread cutters.
So this year I had a search - in the kitchen with kitchen stuff and in the closet with Christmas stuff and in the cupboard with crafting stuff.
And this is what I found.
I think it is enough.
Then we're all set to bake ginger bread
- just going to buy a fresh make of dough.
And if we don't bake we still have a troupe of ready made one-leggers to eat:)

Destruction of sulfide related odors
AOT Products can treat a variety of compounds, but perhaps the very best thing they do is oxidize hydrogen sulfide and sulfonated organic chemicals known to cause lethal odors in wastewater treatment. The cost for control of these substances is low which is why our catalysts are being used by dozens of municipalities and industrial wastewater generators across the US and abroad. On site testing at municipal wastewater plants have shown the efficiency of destruction to be so high that it allowed for cost savings in a comparative study against chlorine, calcium nitrate, thioguard, iron salts, ozone and others. Further, the destructive reaction kinetics are quite rapid with a 100 ppm solution of hydrogen sulfide being 80% reacted in the first minute and completely oxidized in less than 5 minutes.
Application is straightforward – the process simply requires metering of the catalyst with the oxidizing agent into the targeted wastewater with adequate mixing and the correct pH. The reaction occurs quickly thereafter.
Since the treatment occurs at or near neutral pH, there is no need for expensive equipment of special construction for metering the catalyst. Metering of the oxidizing agent component typically requires a commonly available PVC or polyethylene metering pump.
Importantly, there are no compounds within our products that would cause concern for corrosion of piping.

Two thirds of homeless men and women suffer from mental illness and/or addiction. Many of them receive fragmented treatment, or no treatment at all, and as a result, cycle in and out of emergency rooms, jails, shelters, and the streets. .
"I started drinking when I was twelve. My parents were both alcoholic child abusers. I ended up in a shelter – I called it the Brooklyn Zoo. If there were no beds, people slept outside on crates. One day the Director of Project Renewal's "In Homes Now" came in. The first two years in the program I struggled with my sobriety. The beautiful thing is I wasn't kicked out. They were always there to support and give me alternatives. When I screwed up, they were always there to pick up the pieces."
Project Renewal's mission empowers homeless men and women suffering from addiction and/or mental illness to move permanently from the streets or shelters to health, homes, and jobs. Their comprehensive and innovative approach combines healthcare, addiction and mental health treatment, employment services, and housing to help their clients rebuild their lives.

Newcastle find out David Edgar had moved to Burnley via Sky Sports News ticker
Canadian defender couldn't think of anyone to tell he was leaving
Newcastle found out defender David Edgar has left after eight years at the club via the television. The 22-year-old said he felt forced to leave the club and didn't even know who to contact to say he was departing for newly-promoted Burnley.
He said: "One of the problems was there was no one for me to sit down and talk to at Newcastle. I finally got a phone call from them on Wednesday and I think that was after they'd seen the move announced on TV.
"They said 'Is it true?' and I said 'Yes'. It's tough but I suppose they didn't have anyone to get in touch with me — no owner or manager. In the end, one of the coaches rang me."

The divine Vera Wang
'FOR most women, a wedding gown represents far more than just a dress. It is also the embodiment of a dream, perhaps one she has nurtured since childhood. In this fantasy of idealized happiness, the groom represents perfection and the face of all human possibility. The instant a woman becomes engaged, however, all that energy and passion gets transferred to her dress. What follows can be something akin to madness," Vera Wang writes in her book, Vera Wang Weddings, published in 2001.
This sentiment still rings real and true, more so now for Filipinas who have long wanted to wed in a Vera Wang original. Their wish of doing so will now be granted as a Vera Wang store has been opened for business by Valerie Villar Zayco at the swanky 8 Rockwell Center in Makati City.
"As a fashion professional and a former bride, I'm now able to translate all of that knowledge and love of style to the visual and emotional vocabulary of weddings. Having experienced weddings from both a personal and professional perspective, I can truthfully say no one is more dedicated to brides than I am," Vera Wang continues in her book.
Sharing this dedication, Valerie solidified her venture into the bridal business. "We've been in the bridal ready-to-wear [RTW] business for fives years, with the Rosa Clara store. So we felt that after educating the market of the perks of RTW bridal, we feel like there's definitely an appetite for it, that brides have warmed up to the concept of RTW bridal and that we had to take it to the next level and bring them the most popular, the most renowned bridal brand in the world, which is Vera Wang," she says.
"It's such an established bridal brand. Vera Wang is in a league of her own when it comes to bridal. Every young bridal designer aspires to be Vera Wang. We felt as though that sooner or later, the brand will come into the country, so we felt we might as well bite the bullet and do it now," reveals Valerie, who got married in a gown of her own design.
As Vera Wang writes in her book, whether a bride "is a schoolmarm or siren, flower child or princess, socialite or career girl, or a bit of each rolled into one, the bride should choose a gown that reflects who she is above and before all else. A wedding gown must always embody the individual." She may be a Traditionalist, Modernist, Sensualist, Individualist, Romanticist, Minimalist or Exhibitionist.
"Did you meet Vera?" I asked Valerie. "No, unfortunately, but I would love to. She's an inspiration, not just as a designer, but also as an Asian woman who has done so well on the global stage. It's not a requirement to meet with her first before she grants the franchise. It is a franchise, but we look at it more as a partnership. So we have full support from the headquarters in New York. That's why someone came here to support our opening. [Before the partnership was sealed] one of the heads of bridal, Erica Arkin, did come over and she took a look at the spaces we were considering for the brand," Valerie says. "They were very open to bringing the brand to the Philippines, but what was important was that the location said a lot about the brand. Here at 8 Rockwell, there's a sense of exclusivity, of privacy, because there are only five luxury brands in the building [Ladurée, homme et femme, Balenciaga and Lanvin]."
How will this affect your other store?
"Rosa Clara and Vera Wang complement each other. Rosa Clara caters to the young, modern bride. It's also just bridal, nothing for the entourage but we also offer cocktail gowns. Looking at the prices, Rosa Clara [gowns] start at P70,000 to P160,000, most of them in the P100,000 to P120,000 range. Vera Wang [gowns] start at P200,000 to P600,000, most of them being in the P300,000 range. So, price points-wise, they're different. And the Vera Wang bride is quite different."
Lately, there's been a trend toward bling-blings and Swarovskis because of the Dubai designers. But Vera Wang isn't that. "Not at all. Vera has this kind of look, so different and so timeless. As you said, the trends of fully beaded, Swarovski-encrusted gowns—they're trends. When you look at your gown 10 years from now, you'd actually be able to say the era. Vera Wang has that timeless feel. It's so classic. People who got married many years ago in a Vera Wang, they can still wear the same dress today," she assures.
Valerie worked together with headquarters in choosing the gowns that will represent Vera Wang in the Philippines. "It's very important to work with them because it's their brand, so they'd also want a representation of the iconic Vera Wang gowns in the store. At the same time, we have the local knowledge and we know which gowns are good for the petite Filipinas, the skin tone, the color of the gowns. Weather in a way is not such a factor because we get married in air-conditioned churches and hotels. But we have those gowns for brides who want to get married in the garden or the beach, the destination weddings." Would it be possible for a bride to have a custom-made gown made but can't travel to New York to meet personally with Vera the designer? "I haven't thought about that, but I think, no. All of the gowns here can be customized in a certain way."
To what extent can a gown be altered? "Well, I think you can't necessarily say I want this top to go with this skirt. That's too much," she chuckles. "We have so many options that a bride may find what she's looking for. If it's about lowering the neckline or the back, that's easy. That's fine. Or the hem. Or if they want to make it high-low. We also have a lot of cover-ups, belts and other accessories they can add to the dress, like the veils and all these other things to make it theirs. Seamstresses well-trained in bridalwear are on hand to do the alterations, with no extra charges."
What are the challenges of opening a store at this scale? "It was important for the company to make sure we represented their brand well. The biggest challenge was actually constructing the store to make sure that when you enter our store, it had the same feeling as when you enter the Rodeo Drive store or the Hong Kong store. The same aesthetic. The whole Vera Wang feel. It's also important to train our people well to give excellent service because you can't sell top-quality products then give customers low-quality service," Valerie explains.
The store has only been open for a few weeks, but it has already sold a gown. "We've had inquiries and we've taken some calls so we believe this is going to turn out well. We're very optimistic about the Philippine market because Filipinos love weddings," Valerie says. "When you look at it, even culturally, we love to get dressed and in an intricate way. You look at our Filipinianas, ourbarong Tagalogs, so as a people we love to dress up, we love to celebrate, we love to host people at home. It's innate in us to like things that are beautiful—we have an appreciation for it. And that's what Vera Wang offers—extremely beautiful gowns that are so well-crafted."Read more at:formal dresses | semi formal dresses

PRINCETON, Ind. � When Princeton resident Andrea Walton flies to Charlotte, N.C., soon, she will do so as one of the few teenagers to ever serve as a delegate to a national political convention.
Walton, 18, will be among more than 5,000 delegates and alternates from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories who will converge on Charlotte�s Time Warner Cable Arena convention hall Sept. 4-6.
Neither national party keeps records on teenage national convention delegates. Among the thousands of longtime party activists, donors, leaders and elected officials who typically get tapped to be delegates, there�s always a handful who look like they�re still in high school.
Democratic Party rules specify that national convention delegates must be at least 18, but 17-year-old Minnesotan David Gilbert-Pederson was eligible to be chosen in 2008 because he turned 18 before Election Day. Another young attendee will be 19-year-old Anna Langthorn, who will be a Democratic alternate delegate from Oklahoma.
�I�m honored that I got chosen and really excited to go and meet new people and represent Gibson County,� said Walton, who was recommended by area party leaders who wanted to promote capable newcomers and cultivate a deep bench of future leaders.
Walton, who plans to major in political science at American University in Washington, D.C., beginning in the fall, met Vice President Joe Biden last summer while serving as a page in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Meeting President Barack Obama at this summer�s convention, she said, would be �really cool.�
Going to the convention as a credentialed delegate may look good on Walton�s resume, but it won�t be free.
Anthony Long, chairman of Indiana�s 8th Congressional District Democratic Party and a veteran of at least a half-dozen national conventions, says a frugal delegate can keep expenses in the hundreds rather than thousands of dollars with luck and diligence. It helps, Long said, to share a hotel room and other costs, book economy flights and take maximum advantage of free Indiana delegation meals and convention-wide nightly social hours.
�For a person to go and not share expenses with anybody, just go and have your own hotel room, probably you could get by (with) $2,000 or less,� Long said.
The Waltons have already plunked down $500 for Andrea�s hotel room at the convention, a cost that was cut in half by her agreeing to share a room with a 26-year-old female convention page from Indianapolis.
Princeton resident Linda Walton, Andrea�s mother, said the family will come up with the rest of the money.
Minnesota�s Gilbert-Pederson raised the money he needed with the help of an ice-cream social at his home with friends and family, but Linda Walton said the family has the matter in hand.
�We�ll make sure it happens,� she said.
�Andrea has done this all on her own. We just told her to go for it. The worst they could do was say no,� Linda Walton said.
Adding an element of comic relief to Andrea�s preparations for the Democratic Convention is the fact that her father leans Republican and her paternal grandfather strongly identifies with the GOP.
But 82-year-old Wayne Walton said that won�t stop him from watching the Democratic confab on television and straining to catch a glimpse of his granddaughter.
�I�ve never voted for a Democrat because if they want me to vote for them, they need to get on my side of the ballot,� the Loogootee, Ind., resident said with a chuckle.
�But I think (Andrea Walton) is a wonderful young lady,� Wayne Walton said. �As for her being on the other side of politics, it�s not a problem. It�s her privilege. This is America.�

Vintage Base Ball
In December 1997 the Quicksteps, a Twin Cities vintage base ball club, challenged the Washington County Historical Society to a match game of 1860 rules base ball (to follow the vernacular of the day, we use two words). WCHS accepted and decided to revive the Saint Croix Base Ball Club to defend the honor of the St. Croix Valley and the National Pastime.
Through the sponsorship of Andersen Windows, the Saint Croix Base Ball nine again took to the diamond as part of Lumberjack Days 1998.
The vintage base ball matches played in Minnesota essentially emulate the game that would have been played after the 1857 nine inning rule took effect and prior to the 1864 rule change that changed the one-bound out rule starting in 1865. The minor rule variations that took place between these years are sometimes open to debate. A stealing rule, and occasionally other rules and conventions are agreed to prior to a match. Vintage clubs around the country do not necessarily play the exact same 1860 game because of variations that go beyond the 38 sections in the rule set. The 1860 "New York Rules" game that the St. Croixs follow was also played by Civil War soldiers during times of leisure, which helped to make it a pastime for the entire nation.

I have just revised the Gevey verbs. The new setup is described below (best viewed with a fixed-width font). Comments are always welcome... Gevey Verbs =========== Verbs are words that demonstrate the action(s) in a clause or sentence. Every clause or sentence in Gevey will posess at least one principle verb which will demonstrate the principle action in the clause or sentence, It is also permissable for a clause or sentence to include one or more secondary verbs which enhance or refine the action of the principle verb. Modes and voices ---------------- For principle verbs, Gevey has two modes and three associated voices: Descriptive mode: Descriptive voice Interactive mode: Active voice Incidental voice The descriptive mode is used to describe the scene in which the action is to take place. To do this, principle verbs will use the descriptive voice. Active and incidental voices ---------------------------- The interactive mode is used to describe the action which occurs in a scene. To achieve this, principle verbs will use the active and incidental voices. In Gevey, the active voice is used to describe the actions taking place in a scene, while the descriptive voice is used to describe the scene itself. The incidental voice is used to describe a sort of halfway house, detailing actions occuring in a scene which are not central to the main action itself. The incidental voice is also often used to describe actions not set in motion by the main players in a scene, but to which they will need to react. Note that there is no equivelent of the English passive voice in Gevey. The voice of the principle verb is demonstrated by using the following verb constructions: Active voice - simple active construction Incidental voice - compound incidental construction Descriptive voice - compound descriptive construction A simple construction consists of the principle verb only, which will be the action taking place in the scene. A compound construction is made up of two verbs, an auxillary verb which determines whether the clause is incidental or descriptive, and a participle verb which describes the action (if any) taking place in the scene. Principle verb tenses --------------------- Principle verbs use four tenses to demonstrate the time in which their action occurs: Future tense Present tense Past tense Historic tense Gevey has a basic philosophy that an action in the past will directly affect actions in the present and future. The historic tense is used for unalterable, unavoidable or unchangable actions - in effect destiny, while the past tense is used for actions whose repercussions, whilst unavoidable (depending upon the clause's voice), can be altered by later actions. Principle verb aspects ---------------------- Principle verbs also take a number of verb aspects, which qualify the action of the verb: Completion aspects Condition aspects Emphasis aspects Verb aspects are small words (in fact adverbs) which are placed directly in front of the principle verb. More than one verb aspect can be used with each principle verb, in which case the aspects are joined together into an aspect cluster which will go in front of the principle verb. It is quite common, and perfectly good grammar, for verb aspect words to be placed between a compound verb's auxillary and participle words, though placing them in front of the compound verb, as happens with simple verbs, is just as acceptable. Verb aspects tend to follow verbs only when the verb is at the start of a clause or sentence (ie when the verb is the focus of the clause) Principle verb conjugation -------------------------- Principle verbs undergo conjugation. The purpose of conjugation is not to confuse the student of Gevey. Instead, by conjugating a principle verb, valuable information can be passed on to the listener or reader about the circumstances in which the action is taking place. This will include information about: the grammatical structures surrounding the principle verb (ie how does the action relate to the various players in the scene) the tense of the principle verb (ie, when in time is the action taking place) the status and number of the subject noun or pronoun of the principle verb's clause Conjugation ----------- For the purpose of principle verb conjugation, the principle verb can be divided into three parts: verb stem - verb axil - verb suffix There are three different conjugations in Gevey. Unlike in some other languages, where each verb will be assigned to a particular group which are then conjugated in a similar way (like the six conjugations of Latin, the verb classes - ER, IR, RE - of French, or strong vs weak verbs in English), in Gevey a verb will take a different conjugation depending on the circumstances in which it finds itself. The three conjugations of Gevey are: primary conjugation - the most common form of conjugation secondary conjugation - mostly used in particular types of relative clauses tertiary conjugation - also known as the subjunctive conjugation, this occurs most often when the verb finds itself in a subjunctive clause, in particular when the subjunctive clause is introduced by particular conjunctions It is important to remember that all principle verbs - whether they are active, incidental or descriptive - will undergo conjugation. The conjugation type and the tense of the principle verb is demonstrated by the verb axil. The status and number of the principle verb's subject noun or pronoun is demonstrated by the verb suffix. Axil conjugation of principle verbs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tense Conjugation type ----- ----------------------------------- Primary Secondary Tertiary ------- --------- -------- Future -an- -on- -in- Present - -os- -is- Past -at- -ot- -it- Historic -ath- -oth- -ith- Suffix conjugation, for all tenses and types of conjugation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Subject status Subject number -------------- ----------------------------- Singular Paucal Plural -------- ------ ------ Animate simple -e -ye -ee Animate internal -a -ya -ae Animate external -o -yo -oe Inanimate -uu -yuu -ue Secondary Verbs --------------- Secondary verbs in a clause or sentence are divided into five groups or designs: Infinitive design Secondary design Predicate design Anominate design Participle design The design type of a secondary verb is demonstrated by adding a design suffix to the verb's stem. A verb may take any of the five design suffixes depending on the verb's requirement. However, the exact ending which a verb will take is dependent on the verbs class. Verb class ---------- All verbs in Gevey are divided into one of two classes: Transitive verbs Intransitive verbs Transitive verbs in Gevey are verbs whose actions are normally translated directly to its direct object. Intransitive verbs in Gevey are verbs whose action on the direct object are normally modulated by use of a preposition, which can either be attached at the front of the verb, or will instead attach itself to the direct object (the rule is that if the verb has no direct object, or the verb is in primary focus, or the direct object is in primary or clear focus, then the preposition is attached to the verb; otherwise the preposition will attach to the direct object). Occasionally, there will be two forms of the verb - one transitive and one intransitive - where in English one verb will do both jobs. Secondary verb design Verb design suffix --------------------- ------------------------------------ Transitive verbs Intransitive verbs ---------------- ------------------ Infinitive -an -en Subsidiary -aeye -iye Predicate -ak -eg Anominate -alta -elde Participle design suffixes also take account of the principle verb's conjugation type: Participle verb conjugation type Participle design suffix ---------------- ------------------------------------ Transitive verbs Intransitive verbs ---------------- ------------------ Primary -anti -endou Secondary -onti -ondou Tertiary -inti -indou Compound verbs -------------- Compound verbs are constructed by combining an auxillary verb (the equator verb ën to be, the descriptive auxillary verb ben to have, and the passive auxillary verb sen to be) with the appropriate secondary verb design. In particular, participle design secondary verbs are used with ben and sen to form the descriptive voice and passive voice compound verbs. In compound verbs, the auxillary verb acts as the principal verb of the clause and is conjugated accordingly, while the action of the compound verb is carried by the secondary verb design. Note that if a preposition is to be attached to a compound verb, then it will attach to the auxillary, not the secondary, verb. Verbal aspect adverbs, however, can be placed either in front of the auxillary verb or after the secondary verb, or even inbetween the two parts of the compound verb. The placement of verbal aspects depends partly on the requirements of focus, and partly on custom and dialect. Using secondary verb designs ---------------------------- The infinitive verb design is used with certain verbs which require a second verb to enhance or qualify the description of their action. Examples of such verbs include tokan to like, vijan to prefer, lougzan to enjoy, and neefan to love. In these cases, the second verb will use the infinitive subsidiary design, and will usually follow the main verb, or be placed in weak focus at the end of the clause. For example: Te lugzhese ïst'yuu dhoun I swim in the river Te lugzhese ïst'yuu dhoun vijan I prefer to swim in the river Te lugzhese lougzan ïst'yuu dhoun I enjoy swimming in the river The predicative verb design is used with the auxillary verb ën for commands: De ë ta'yuu tuerh strimeg Run to the door! Placement of the predicative verb follows the same rules as described above for infinitive verbs. Participle design verbs are used with the auxillary verbs ben to have and sen to be to form the passive and descriptive voices respectively. Remember that there are three types of participle design, one each for the three conjugation types (which ben and sen cannot manage themselves as they only undergo primary conjugation). The subsidiary and anominate verb designs, like the predicative verb design described above, are used with the auxillary verb ën, and are used as the principal verb within a relative clause. If the relative clause uses the subject entry universal pronoun zhek then the clause's principal verb will take the anominate design. Similarly, if the relative clause uses indirect object entry universal pronoun zhes, then the clause's principal verb will take the subsidiary design. The subsidiary and anominate verb designs can alsu be used with the auxillary verbs ben and sen in certain circumstances, for the foollowing purposes: ben + subsidiary design - [not yet determined] sen + subsidiary design - [not yet determined] ben + anominate design - closure of an argument sen + anominate design - judgement [example conjugations cut] {{{Thanks for taking the time to read}}} Rik -- http://homepages.enterprise.net/rikroots/gevey/index.html The Gevey Language Resource.

Sproughton 3 vs Adrastral Park 3
- John Tallent and Adam Chappell
- Richard Oaks with Matthew Chappell
- Matthew Tallent (me) Luke Barnes
Richard and Matthew... we er...Yes. We lost those games. On the bright side we did lose closely. In some of them. The first pair we lost at 5-8. Their second pair lost again at 6-8 resulting in another loss for Sproughton. The last and final game they lost at 2-8. So...against the hardest pair they do best at... Easiest pair worst... Confusing.?
Me and Luke lost our games as Luke - supposedly - didn't like his racket, and accused himself of playing the worst in years. Against the first pair we WERE white-washed *sobsob*. The second we done better losing 3-8. A bit better. Then we dropped to our lowest low losing 1-8 to the lst pair.
So overall we didn't do very well. Matthew (Chappell) lost with Richard, and me and Luke lost the matches we played. Well, It IS all about the experience factor.

Sproughton 3 Vs St. Johns 3
- Matthew Chappell and John Tallent
- Luke Barnes and Adam Chappell
- Me and John Barton
Luke and Adam lost all their matches with a close (?) second match . The game against the first pair they lost 2-8 when I accused them of not playing like they would in a Wimbledon final. Against the second pair they lost 6-8 (which was the close ((?)) game) where they both were just playing a consistent game. The final game against the third pair was lost 2-8.
Me and John Barton lost all our matches, but unfortunately winning the least games *sob*. Against the first pair (who thought when someone was at the net you HAD to lob them) we lost 4-8. The second pair won against us 4-8 in a struggle. The last pair (third) we lost 1-8.
*Extras* When Luke and Adam played the Third pair, Luke was very irritated because of the arrogance of one of the boys playing. And when John and Matthew Chappell won against the third pair... We were so happy.
Overall I thought we didn't play well or badly. Its just the big points, and the extra net cords that can win the game. I say MORE PRACTICE!
Sproughton 3 - St.Johns 6
Thursday, 3 May 2007
Sproughton 3 against Stowmarket 3
In three sets in which Luke Barnes and Matthew Chappell played... Were lost. In which they were the scores of 2-8, 1-8, and 0-8. They played as first pair meaning the hardest match was first, and in that game they played the best with the score of 2-8. The first pair was Stowmarkets best as one of their players on that pair could do the best "angle-dropshot-volley" that I've ever seen. Their second game was 1-8 against the 2nd pair. That combination was a steady, consistent pair that was playing much better against Luke, and Matthew. In the last game, (suprisingly) they played the worst which was a 0-8 loss. The last pair ( I thought) was the... "consistent" pair.
Our second pair of M.Tallent and A. Chappell had probably the most confusing result in the history of game scores. The second pair who we played first was our best game. The score was 5-8, and from being 2-6 down this was a good score. I'd say the motto of that game was "The match is never over until the final point is played." Our second game was against the third pair which we lost 8-0. The first odd 3 to 5 games were all dueces going on. But, as the score says... We lost ALL of the dueces in a frenzy of bad shots, and net cords going against us. Our third but final game was the 1st pair in which we lost 8-1. To myself I think the game we won was a forfeit in which the other pair just didn't bother to play well. Either that or we just played great, that we weren't doing the in the rest of the games.
The third - and final pair - of J.Tallent and B. Hart (suprisingly?) won every match. First pair was against the 3rd pair which was a 8-2 win. I personally don't know how they managed to win AND only drop two games. The second match was against the number one pair which they won 8-1. I again don't know how they did it. The pair tell me that the other pair didn't play so well as they did against our 2nd and 1st pair as no "angle-dropshot-volley" shots were played. I still don't know how it happened. The third game was against their 2nd pair in which they won 8-2. Ben Hart from where I was standing was almost falling asleep. J.Tallent (yet again) was playing at the best of his standard and winning 99% of the points.
The team average age was almost 14. Until my Dad joined to make it 19.5. In our defence we didn't play that bad, but on the other hand we could've played better or more consistently.
There is a team photo here (Image 2).

What is the Importance of Tyre Pressure?
The most thought some people give to tyres is when they either get a puncture, or when they get a shock when the garage (or worse the police) tell them they need replacing. It's amazing how this important vehicle component can be so overlooked by so many people, but it's even worse when it comes down to the pressures in those tyres. Let's be totally honest here, some people never check their tyre pressure unless something is quite obviously wrong with one or more of them. There are two things not having the correct pressure in your tyres can cost you, which are money, and the safety of you and your passengers. So, let's take a brief look at how the incorrect pressure can affect your vehicle, and how some level of tyre maintenance really is vital to your overall car safety.
What's the correct pressure?
There's no hard and fast rule for what is the correct tyre pressure across the board. You need to find out what the correct pressure is for the particular tyres you have on your vehicle by consulting the owner's manual, by speaking to the dealer you bought your vehicle from, or through a tyre specialist. The amount of pressure required may also vary depending on whether you're carrying a full load or not. Once again, find out from a reliable source how much pressure you should be maintaining in your tyres.
Underinflated tyres
If someone is going to notice they have the wrong pressure in their tyres, it's usually going to be because they're underinflated rather than overinflated as it's more obvious. Underinflated tyres will make uneven contact with the road surface that will inevitably result in uneven and excessive wear at the edges if not corrected through a regular car maintenance regime. Under inflation can also result in an increase of rolling resistance with the road, and that will make your vehicle use more fuel and therefore reduce its efficiency and cost you money. But the worst result of underinflated tyres is poor handling, which can then lead to accidents, especially at higher speeds.
Overinflated tyres
A lot of people don't realize it, but putting too much air in tyres can be just as problematic as not having enough in them. Overinflated tyres will have less surface area making contact with the road surface, which means less traction and longer breaking distances. It can also lead to uneven and excessive wear across the middle of the tyre, which means you'll have to replace them sooner than you would have had to if they'd been kept properly inflated.
Checking your tyre pressure
You should check your tyres around every two weeks, although more pressure is lost during warmer weather so you might want to check a little more often than that during the summer. Another thing to remember is that you should always check your pressure when the tyres are cold to obtain an accurate reading, as the pressure will increase when the tyres are hot and they're designed and manufactured to cope with that. And finally, keep in mind that some manufacturers will recommend different pressures for the front and rear, so make sure you're one hundred percent sure what the correct pressures are for your particular vehicle.For more information about your tyres and their correct pressures, don't hesitate to get in touch with our experts here at the Kearys Motor Group

Children in the Salon
Children are not allowed on the styling floor unless they are having a serviced performed. Don't get the wrong idea; we love kids, we have kids, but the salon is not a good place for them. The last thing we want is to drop a bowl of hair color, a pair of scissors or a hot flat iron into your baby's lap. Pricing for children's services is generally below that of adults, but if your child has a full head of thick hair they will be charged adult pricing, because the length of time it takes to perform the service is the same as an adult.

Late Arrival
We usually make it work, but if you are more than 15 minutes late, you may be asked to reschedule or wait if there is another appointment scheduled between your service. Our service providers are scheduled with back to back appointments, which means if they start one guest late, every guest thereafter will be seen late. Sometimes we can catch up and sometimes we can't. It depends on what types of appointments are scheduled after yours and the availability of other staff to help. Therefore, a late arrival may subtract time away from your service. It is suggested that you arrive at least 5 minutes prior to your scheduled time to allow for proper check in.
Electronic Devices
As a courtesy to other guests we ask that you please silence your cell phones and use headphones for your electronic devices while in the salon. If you need to make a phone call while you are receiving a service we ask that you please use your inside voice so the salon staff and clients do not listen to your private conversation.
