What I hadn't heard yet was any Wagner. His operas have its own type of voice (the Heldentenor), he created his own type of music instrument (the Wagner Tuba), and he built his own theater (Bayreuth Festspielhaus, in Bayreuth, Germany). Regarding his music, all I knew was that you are either for or against, especially when it comes to Der Ring des Nibelungen. What better way to find out than actually attending a performance.
When I first decided to attend it was the spring of 2009, and one of the last times Otto Schenk's production of the Ring would be performed. This was an enormous production, much beloved by opera buffs around the world, which had done good duty for the last twenty odd years. In two years time (2012), there would be a brand new Ring.
Attending this cycle (= Das Rheingold + Die Walküre + Siegfried + Götterdämmerung) was a last-minute thing, so I practically had to hunt for tickets. I learned soon enough Ring tickets are a hot commodity, especially when Maestro Levine is conducting and Placido Domingo is tackling the role of Siegmund. True Wagner fans buy their tickets the minute they become available.
I remember buying one from a couple in their mysterious apartment on the West Side and I bought one of the last tickets for sale at the box office for Die Walküre. I was seated in the nook of the house, right above the stage. I always like to explore different seats to see which one is best, and that was not one of them.
But that didn't matter because the performance enthralled me. A good indication whether I like a performance or not is how fast time goes, and time flew by. This is especially telling when you consider the fact that the average length of each opera is more than four and a half hours.
To enthrall people for so long you not only need beautiful music, but also an interesting story; and the Ring does not disappoint. Soap operas pale in comparison to the story line Richard Wagner came up with for his masterpiece.
Richard Wagner started working on the first part of the Ring after he finished work on the other three parts. He knew how he wanted the story to end, so he worked backwards from that idea. Das Rheingold is the shortest of the four operas at two and a half hours, but it is vital to the story as it forms a prologue to the events that follow.
Das Rheingold (The Rhinegold) is set in the realm of the gods. They rule the universe, but greed and the lust for power brings an end to that. Most of the major characters are introduced, and the struggle for possession of the ring begins. This opera sets in motion what will eventually cause the demise of the gods.
Das Rheingold is just as important from a musical standpoint. The music tells you so much more than just what you see on stage. Wagner accomplishes this mainly with the use of Leitmotifs. He conceived this concept where characters and objects are represented by a specific musical theme which is repeated throughout the whole Ring (in an adapted version over time). Every character in the story has its own Leitmotif, but the best example of this method can be found in Die Walküre. "The Ride of the Valkyries" is probably one of the most recognizable pieces of music. If you don't know the name, you will definitely recognize the music ones you hear it.
Every time one or all of the Valkyries are interjected in the story, an adaptation of this theme can be heard. There are hundreds of these leitmotifs throughout the Ring, and the more you listen to it, the more you will recognize the different tunes. For me, it allows me to see the whole thing in my mind even when I am just listening on my iPod. It is very important to see the whole Ring, if only to see the progress of the Leitmotifs throughout all four operas.
The Valkyries are of course the main subject of the second opera, Die Walküre (The Valkyrie). Wagner called it the First Day. It is set in the realm of the humans and the gods and lasts about 5 hours.
At this point the characters become very confusing, and it is very important to read up on the story before you go watch it. The MetOpera set up this amazing mini-website where you can find out all about the Ring. I used all this information to create my own little Ring Survival Guide, and I made a little 'family tree' to keep all the characters apart. No matter how much I love technology, for certain things pen and paper are still the best bet.
Siegfried is set during the Second Day, and the world of the gods is more and more forgotten as we start focusing on the humans. The whole point of the Ring performances of the last two years was to introduce the new production by Robert Lepage. There has been a lot of talk about this production, and not always in a positive light. The set is basically made up of 24 revolving planks, on which projections are made. Some of these projections are 3D (for which you don't need glasses), including the little bird who informs Siegfried that there is a beautiful woman somewhere on top of a mountain surrounded by fire. I had to look twice to make sure this was not a real bird flying across the stage, but it didn't really matter because this part has some of the most beautiful melodies you can imagine. I felt ready to soar into the sky.
The concept was born in the mind of Robert Lepage, who has also made many Cirque du Soleil shows. Yes, the planks creak a little as they twist and turn. Yes, the stage is a little static sometimes and doesn't always perform as well as it should, but it is all about the music. And the scenery reacts to the music. Water turns to blood as Siegfried slays the dragon, the flames soar higher as Siegfried approaches Brünnhilde and the water ripples as the Rhinemaidens surface to play.
I think the machine works best on the Third Day, Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods). By now the world of the gods is about to demise, and the whole 5 hours and 50 minutes are spent on earth, near the Rhine, the only constant in all four operas. Götterdämmerung is the only one that features a chorus, an indication that the story has been changed from a few gods to the realm on earth. It seems like every little detail in the Ring has meaning, so it is no wonder many books have been written about it.
I personally like the new production. It has so many surprises that kept me on the edge of my seat. I sat enthralled for all 19 hours, and I forgot all about the world around me. It was like a dream. I always get completely immersed into the performances I am seeing, and I forget everything around me, sitting in my seat like a statue. The whole production came together in Götterdämmerung, with the exception that the ending was not explosive enough. They could have found a better way for Brünnhilde to 'jump' into the fire and for Valhalla to be destroyed. I was sitting up quite high, which gave me an amazing view of the gold ceiling that lit up in a beautiful red glow of the fire surrounding Brünnhilde. I almost felt the heat of her love and the fire.
Of course, one advantage of seeing a performance at the MET is the stellar cast you will be sure to see perform. The Ring did not disappoint. Unfortunately, Maestro Levine was not able to conduct (he is a master at conducting Wagner), but Fabio Luisi was a perfect replacement. Of course, it is every conductor's dream to work with the MET Orchestra. The Orchestra is huge for the Ring, and the pit is filled to the brim. I don't know anything about the technicalities of singing opera, so the only credentials I have to critique the singers is my subjectivity. For that reason I can just say they were all amazing, from Jay Hunter Morris (who came to the role by accident) as Siegfried to Deborah Voigt as Brünnhilde. And of course, some of the singers have graduated from the Lindemann Young Artist Program and participated in the Auditions. I hope to one day be able to applaud Will Liverman or Ricardo Rivera.
Now, there is still a chance to see the new Ring, and you can buy tickets for the full Ring Cycle at www.metopera.org. There is nothing like seeing them all together, you just have to be prepared. Sitting at the MET for 6 hours is a long time, even for a die-hard Wagnerian. In 7 hours I can fly across the ocean and be home in Belgium. I always have a few things that make this adventure enjoyable, but I think you can apply them to any opera.
- Buy your tickets as soon as they become available. It is worth planning in advance because you won't want to miss a chance like this.
- Bring a snack. I usually just take a chocolate bar and plenty of mints. And please, open your mints before the lights go out.
- Read up on the story.
- Use your imagination. If you don't like the sparsity of the set, just imagine everything that is missing.
- It's not a bad idea to become a member of the Young Associates or the Guild. You will have access to the Belmont Room, where you can order food and drinks. They will then be waiting for you during the intermission. Make sure you arrive 45 minutes before the curtain opens to be able to get a seat. It's each one for themselves, so run up those stairs if you have to. Things get pretty competitive when hundreds of people want a seat.
- From a personal standpoint, do not clap in the middle of the music. Wait until the last note has died down, then show your appreciation.
- Don't rush out once it is done. Stay for the curtain calls. The singers have been on stage for hours, so the least one can do is applaud them. There used to be a time when they were as much a part of the performance as the actual singing...or dancing. Ballet sensation Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev received 89 curtain calls in 1964. That record has yet to be broken.
- Unwind after the performance. I usually am so excited once it finishes I can't fall asleep.

Antalis is preparing to join the Paris Bourse as parent company Sequana seeks the protection of administration as the best means of defence against a court ruling in London ten days ago.
The High Court of Justice overturned a previous decision and has ruled that Sequana must pay tobacco company BAT $138.4 million. Sequana disputes the decision and has been given leave to appeal. But in the meantime in order to protect its business, has sought and been granted a preventative administration order. This puts the business out of reach of BAT, at least for any the two-to-three-month period it says is necessary to reorganise.
The company has put is security papers division up for sale and has agreed a deal wth Oberthur Fiduciaire for the Dutch mill. The Arjowiggins Security mill at Jouy-sur-Marin which produces 8,000 tonnes a year of papers for banknotes, passports and the like, remains up for sale.
It is business as usual for the remainder of the Arjowiggins paper making business, as it is for Antalis. Sequana had already put in motion plans to float Antalis International on the French stockmarket and these are well advanced, says David Hunter, Antalis UK CEO. He explains that employees have been briefed on the impact of the share sales.
The flotation would allow Antalis to expand in the growing packaging and display print segments as well as providing the parent company with "the additional financial resources need to run its operations and face its obligations" according to a company statement.
Framing the process of an Antalis float is a complex task – it operates in 43 countries – and the lawyers "have been very very busy", says Hunter. "When that process has run its course and has gone through the relevant authorities, the IPO will take place, hopefully in the next few months."
Sequana says it hopes to complete the float of between 10-30% of the shares within the first half of 2017. Some shares may be distributed to Sequana shareholders as part of the dividend payment.
The legal action does not affect either Arjowiggins or Antalis with no liability passing to them It relates to whether the provisions of the Insolvency Act or those of the Companies Act apply regarding distribution of a dividend in May 2009 by former subsidiary Windward Prospects and how creditors' protection applies.
BAT has through acquisitions taken control of Windward Prospects, which had traded as a producer of NCR papers as Arjo Wiggins Appleton. Authorities in the US have ruled that BAT must pay the costs of cleaning up the Lower Fox river in Wisconsin, and in turn BAT argues that Sequana had taken money in dividends that should be used to pay for the clean up task. The question the court has to decide is whether Sequana acted correctly. If so, BAT pays for the clean up; if not Sequana must pay, at least in part.
The court of appeal is expected to make its ruling with 12-18 months. In the meantime, the High Court has ruled that Sequana must make an interim payment of £5.8 million towards BAT's legal costs by 5 May. It plans to challenge this decision
Sequana has also produced pro forma trading figures for 2016 several weeks early to underline the strong financial position of the company. Sales in 2016 were 7% down at €2.9 billion (€3.2 billion) with Ebitda earnings down 1% at €105 million (€106 million).
Most sales came from Antalis contributing €2.5 billion where a good performance in packaging and visual communications offset the decline in volumes of printing papers. It also suffered a €109 million exchange rate deficit as the value of the pound dropped. Ebitda has been steady.
The declining order book for the security division hit sakes in Arjowiggins, down 11.7% at €668 million for 2016. Paper volumes have also dropped in line with expectations after its Wizernes mill was closed in 2015.
In the UK Antalis achieved a record year in 2015 and, says Hunter, "2016 will be another good year. In 2017 so far the market has been a bit tougher, but the bottom line is we are still a very profitable company."
Sequana will sell off some of the Antalis merchanting business, enabling the paper merchant to expand its business in packaging and visual communications. It is also reorganising under protective administration.

Brian ran a 5:38, a very respectable time.
Brian has a great blog called BikeRunBeer and upon reading just a page or two, you'll agree that he is a great writer and photographer.
In his report, I am certain I sensed thoughts of a 100K attempt woven in the last lines of his telling. :-)

The American job market is no place for students as the number of employed high schoolers has hit its lowest level in more than 20 years, according to new figures from the National Center for Education Statistics.
In 1990, 32 percent of high school students held jobs, versus just 16 percent now. Blame their elders.
Sectors that traditionally have offered teens their first paying gig — fast-food chains, movie theaters, malls and big-box retailers — have now become the last resorts for out-of-work college graduates or older Americans forced back into the labor force out of sheer financial necessity. The resulting squeeze has left students on the outside looking in.
The recession and an increasing focus on school can be blamed for the high teen unemployment rate. It's important to make good grades a priority, but lack of work experience can make it harder to find a job after college graduation.
In the long run, the trend could produce more and more young adults who lack the basic skills, such as how to interact with a customer, gained while working early in life. The longer a young person goes without a job, Mr. Sum said, the less attractive he or she looks to employers.
"There's only one way you can learn how to work — you've got to work," he said.

Birmingham's weekend-long festival of musical discovery has grown to become one of our city's most enjoyable events. With a downtown footprint that highlights some of our finest bars and small venues combined with up-and-coming music acts, it's the sort of thing you'd expect to see in Austin or Portland. And we're quite proud of that.
Why exactly do we love Secret Stages, you may ask? Here are five reasons.

Where to even begin?! Holy cow the Lazarev family sure knows how to throw a wedding!! So for those of you that don't know, I shot Natasha's (Christina's sister) wedding back in December of 2016. It was seriously amazing to say the least. One of my favorite things about her wedding was all the details. You could tell that she had put a ton of work into all the little details in her wedding. I felt so honored to be able to shoot such an amazing wedding and to be able to work with Natasha and Kyle.
Fast forward to January 2018, Christina reached out to me about shooting her wedding in Virginia and I about died. Not only because I absolutely loved the Lazarev family but also because I knew the type of weddings they throw and I couldn't miss it for the world. But… I was pregnant and was afraid that my doctor wouldn't give me the green light to go. I was going to be 30 weeks when her wedding was going to take place. I clearly remember going to my doctors appointment and asking my doctor if he thought I would be fine. My heart was clearly set on going but I also wanted to do what was best for my baby. When he told me that as long I stayed healthy throughout my pregnancy, there should be no reason not to go. Just as long as I didn't stay out there for too long. You guys have no idea how freaking excited I was!
In May I shot her first. I wrote a little blog post about that here.
So I flew out the Friday before her wedding. My sweet sister was so kind to fly out with me and help me out since I was freaking huge. We got in super late so we didn't really have a chance to see much since it was so dark. Saturday morning we got up and headed over to the house she was going to get ready at. The entire way there my sister and I were in awe. I don't think I've ever seen so many trees in my entire life. Trees everywhere as well as big green fields! Definitely one of the most beautiful places I've been to! Her ceremony and reception took place at The Market At Grelen! Hands down one of the prettiest locations I've ever shot at! It was all outdoors and it had an amazing view! It was so breathtaking.
Something I learned after shooting Christina's wedding was that the Lazarev's were all about details. I noticed it at Natasha's wedding and Christina's as well. Well I was in heaven to say the least. I absolutely love when brides put so much work into those small details. Some people think no one will notice… believe me when I say that I will most definitely notice! GIVE ME ALL THE DETAILS! Haha.
Christina and Alex looked absolutely stunning that day! Their vows made me cry. Yes I cried. At the ceremony. No shame haha! I thought maybe it was all those pregnancy hormones but after getting home I listened to the audio part of the ceremony and nope it was not the pregnancy hormones. It was 1000% due to the fact that their vows were so amazing! Look at the video and then you'll see what I'm talking about. Their first dance was so sweet and special. They had Christina's older brother, the best man and maid of honor give a toast and they all said the sweetest things about them. They also had a super awesome dance party. My sister and I kept dancing behind our cameras because the DJ played some of our favorite songs! Shout out to DJ Mova! It was such a pleasure working with you and your sweet wife!
Well, the entire day was amazing! I seriously didn't want it to end. Both Christina and Alex had friends and family who kept going up to me offering me a chair, water and snacks! Everyone was so incredibly nice! They are so lucky to have such amazing friends and family! My sister and I felt so welcomed! Christina and Alex were so amazing to work with! After hearing their love story, it made me so happy to see them tie the knot! I feel so grateful that they trusted me with their first look and wedding video! And even more lucky that they liked me enough to fly me out to Virginia! Their wedding will always have such a special spot in my heart! ♥
Here is their wedding video! Enjoy!

Firefighters Called to Council Office Building (VIDEOS & PHOTOS)
A slipped belt on a rooftop air conditioning unit prompted a call for fire trucks at the Council Office Building in Rockville on Thursday.
David Dise, director of the Montgomery County Department of General Services, said the belt caused smoke, which got into the building's ventilation system. The unit was replaced, Dise said. By about 4 p.m., he said, the building was back in service.
The building had been evacuated about 2 p.m., and an employee there said the stairwells had a smell like burning rubber.
"It wasn't intense but you could definitely smell something," he said.
Speaking about 10 minutes after the alarm sounded, he called it a "robust response."
The building had been undergoing renovation, and the fourth-floor work was done or nearly so.

A new report released by a progressive think tank shows seven major donors have provided millions of dollars to Islamophobic groups in the past decade.
The report from the Center for American Progress says the donors gave more than 42 million dollars to groups with anti-Islamic views between 2001 and 2009.
Faiz Shakir is vice president of the Center for American Progress…and one of the report's authors. During a conference call, he described the organization's reason for compiling the report.
"From my perspective, I think we can all understand the Islamophobia is a real threat in this nation. It's a real concern and it's something we all have to deal with. Park 51, the so called controversy over the Ground Zero mosque -- which was neither at Ground Zero, nor a mosque -- helped educate the American public about the real concerns about Islamophobia. That people are using fear against people's religion to be discriminatory and prejudicial in nature towards a minority group."
The Center defines Islamophobia as an exaggerated fear, hatred or hostility toward Islam and Muslims -- resulting in bias, discrimination and exclusion.

Andrea Bocelli
One of the world's biggest classical stars Andrea Bocelli has confirmed two South African tour dates in 2019.
- 18 April at the Ticketpro Dome, 8 pm (doors at 6:15 pm)
- 22 April at Val de Vie Estate, Paarl 6:30 pm (doors at 3:30 pm) - Sold out. Show information, click here.
Presented by CapeTalk, 702 and Channel 24.
Big Concerts has announced today that Carlo Bernini, Maria Aleida, Beverley Knight and Anastasiya Petryshak will be joining Andrea Bocelli for his South African tour.
Carlo Bernini earned the title of Conductor in 1999 at Livorno Conservatoire, under the guidance of Maestro Lorenzo Paris. Since 1986 Maestro Bernini has been Andrea Bocelli's friend and artistic director. Bernini and Bocelli have worked together doing concerts, operas, classical recordings and have collaborated with record companies alongside the greatest conductors, such as Z. Mehta, L. Maazel, G. Sinopoli
Cuban Soprano Maria Aleida started her musical studies at the Vicente Emilio Sojo Conservatory in Venezuela in 1999. She currently studies with voice teacher Bill Schuman. She won the Montserrat Caballe international voice competition in Zaragoza (2008), the Mario Lanza Institute in Philadelphia (2009). She is a resident artist at The Academy of Vocal Arts in Philadelphia. In 2016/17 she joined Andrea Bocelli as soloist in concert in such venues as Florence, Lisbon and Panama. In 2017 she joined a series of concerts with Andrea Bocelli in such venues as Tashkent, Graz, Linz, Marbella, Amsterdam, Kaunas, Riga, Krakow, Bratislava and Budapest.
Pop Guest Beverley Knight has been one of the UK's most consistent artists for two decades, scoring several Top 10 albums, including the platinum selling Voice: The Best of Beverley Knight. She has sold over a million albums in the UK along the way, including four gold certified albums. Her latest album 'Soulsville' was released in June 2016 and went straight into the UK Top 10. She has collaborated on stage and on record with the likes of Prince, Jamiroquai, Bryan Adams, Carlos Santana, Andrea Bocelli, Jamie Cullum, Joss Stone, Take That and Chaka Kahn.
Violinist: Anastasiya Petryshak began performing at the age of 8 participating and winning numerous important national and international competitions under the direction of Marta Kalynchuk. In 2005 she moved to Italy to continue her violin studies, later becoming, at the age of just fifteen, the youngest violinist in the high specialization violin course held by Maestro Salvatore Accardo at the "Walter Stauffer" International Academy in Cremona and at the Chigiana Academy in Siena. Since 2010 she has been working regularly as a soloist and in duets with Andrea Bocelli, joining him in many concerts to great public and critical acclaim.
Andrea Bocelli is proud to return to South Africa where he will be performing with a full 140-piece symphony orchestra and choir. In Johannesburg, he will perform with the Johannesburg Festival Orchestra and the Symphony Choir of Johannesburg and in Cape Town with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir. The concert will be split into 2 parts. For the first part, fans will get to experience Andrea Bocelli perform some of the most famous opera arias. The second part will be dedicated to his most popular hit and crossover songs for a once in a lifetime evening. Matteo Bocelli will also be joining his father to perform the duet 'Fall On Me'.
Andrea Bocelli has recorded 15 solo studio albums of both pop and classical music, three greatest hits albums and nine complete opera. For his latest release 'Si', Andrea Bocelli has teamed up with some of the hottest musical stars on the planet – reuniting with his friend Ed Sheeran after their chart-topping 'Perfect Symphony' on a brand new song called 'Amo Soltanto Te' (written by Ed with lyrics by Tiziano Ferro) and joining with pop sensation Dua Lipa on the single 'If Only'. Crossover superstar Josh Groban and classical soprano Aida Garifullina also duet with Bocelli on the record,. It is his first album of new material in 14 years – 16 brand new songs which celebrate love, family, faith and hope.
At the centre of the new record is a spine-tingling duet between father-and-son, as 20 year-old Matteo Bocelli steps into the limelight to duet with Andrea on 'Fall On Me' – a beautifully poignant song which reflects the bond between parent and child. Andrea explains how his voice compares with Matteo's: "Technically they are very different, but there is one thing that makes them most similar: the attitude. That characteristic way of expressing yourself through your voice. This makes Matteo and I very similar. But that is something that you cannot learn, that cannot be taught. That is something you are born with."
Bocelli's humble manner belies his international status as one of the world's biggest classical stars – he's sung for Popes, Presidents and royalty, performed in all the greatest concert halls and opera houses around the world, and sold 85 million records. He has performed at major international events including the Olympic Games and the World Cup, as well as his own sell-out arena shows. He has a Golden Globe, 7 Classical BRITs and 7 World Music Awards under his belt, plus a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Drawing millions in with his popular crossover appeal, Bocelli has collaborated with a host of A-list pop stars including Céline Dion, Tony Bennett, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Scherzinger, and many more. He also wowed UK football fans with a performance for Claudio Ranieri's Premier League-winning Leicester City at the King Power Stadium in 2016. Bocelli continues to tour the world with major shows in the US, Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Canada, Ireland the UK and now South Africa, where fans will have the opportunity to hear his new music.

text: I promised more photos from this fabulous session and here they are! For those that don't know the bride in these photos is my very own associate Sarah Bunyard. She is marrying Evan in January in Grapevine. Since she is a photographer we had to play around with some different ideas for her shoot and come up with something with a little more spice than a "regular" engagement shoot. Evan and Sarah both love vintage things and spend tons of time antiquing together. We thought it would be fun to bring that vintage feel into their shoot. That led us to select the McKinney Cotton Mill for thier location. The Cotton Mill is a great spot for those that want something with that open warehouse look, old machinery, doors and beautiful light. On top of the vintage look we of course went for some classic casual shots and even explored downtown McKinney for a few shots in an antique store. I love getting to work with fellow artists and Sarah is like a little sister too me so the shoot was very special. Here are some favorite shots and of course their very loooong slide show (I couldn't help it, I loved way too many.)

In the course of running a business,it does become apparent that moving from a bad location to a better one is what needs to be done to save the business,and during such times,getting a good network cabling contractor becomes an absolute necessity. It is the desire of every business man or woman to have their network installed just right as this has a direct impact on how well business operations run.
You will not need to arrange to have another data and voice system upgrade if you make the right decision when it comes to hiring Network cabling contractor.
You really don't want to end up with a mediocre network cable installer and that is why it serves your interest to take a keen look at the following tips:
Hurrying things up almost always leads to situations that are less desirable than anticipated. Start by examining each one of the many contractors who have their presence in your location During this stage,you are focused on how long each potential service provider has been around.
It is right to assume that a contractor who has been doing the same business in a given area for a number of years has gained the confidence of the people around and their reputation is most likely intact.
While longevity is a reasonably good indicator of the quality of work a service is likely to produce,over relying on it as the only measure of competence might be in some cases misleading. There is a likelihood that the owner of a small firm that been around for just a few years is the best person for the job because they may have gathered extensive experience as an employee working in the same industry for many years. The things is get information.
Interview the potential structured cabling contractors and see how well they remain attentive as you describe you particular need. You really want to do business with someone who shows you that they are seriously interested in your project;you want to avoid those who just nod their heads as you present you situation to them.
You can now prepare what is called RFP (Request for Proposal) and send out to all of the likely candidates and remember to ask for a detailed breakdown of the costs. When the submissions finally arrive at your office,you and your accountant or other manager can sit down and thoroughly consider all of them,picking the proposal from the contractor who seems to have the best price and the highest level of working experience. Learn more about cable at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/how-to-negotiate-a-lower-cable-bill-without-cutting_us_58c7f5d9e4b0d06aa65804be.
The best San Antonio Structured cabling contractor will do work that you will find satisfying and which will address all the voice and data needs of your operation.

New York state has enacted laws requiring automated external defibrillators(AEDs) in health clubs and dental offices. Assembly Bill 3798, sponsored by Assemblymember Mike Spano, amends the state's general business law to require that AEDs be available at health clubs during business hours when the clubs are staffed. Senate Bill 2923, sponsored by Senator Martin J. Golden, requires AEDs in dental facilities. Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed the bills into law earlier this month. For more information about New York AEDs, please contact Cardiac Science AED specialist Doug Comstock.
Maine has enacted a bill requiring defibrillators in all health club gyms. The legislation requires that personnel at the health clubs and gyms be trained in AED use. Maine LD 1073 was sponsored by Representative Alan M. Casavant. You can contact Cardiac Science AED specialistMarc Savino for more information about Maine AEDs.
In Illinois, House Bill 1549, which provides Good Samaritan coverage for anyone who has successfully completed American heart Association or American Red Cross AED training, has passed both houses of the state legislature. The Good Samaritan Act protects trained AED users from liability as long as they act in good faith. The bill was sent to Governor Pat Quinn for signature June 7. For more information on Illinois AEDs, please contact AED specialist Scott Barnes.
Tennessee HB 1633 (SB 1443) was signed into law May 5. It It requires that the first AED received by a school be placed in a location that can be readily accessed and particularly at a location that can be readily accessed from areas used for physical education or activity. Cardiac Science AED specialist Mike Castleman can provide information on Tennessee AEDs.

Large-Scale Machine Learning for Imaging Genetics
Heng Huag
Department of Computer Science and Engineering
University of Texas at Arlington
Data science is accelerating the translation of biological and biomedical data to advance the detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases, including the recently announced BRAIN (Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies) Initiative and Precision Medicine Initiative. Sparsity is one of the intrinsic properties of real-world data, thus the sparse learning has recently emerged as a powerful tool to obtain models of high-dimensional data with high degree of interpretability at low computational cost, and provide great opportunities to analyze the big, complex, and diverse datasets. To address the challenging problems in current biomedical data science, we proposed several novel large-scale structured sparse learning models for multi-dimensional data integration, heterogeneous multi-task learning, group/graph structured data analysis, and longitudinal feature learning. Meanwhile, to deal with the big data computations, we proposed distributed asynchronous stochastic gradient and coordinate descent methods for efficiently solving convex and non-convex problems.
We applied our new structured sparse learning models to analyze the multi-modal and longitudinal neuroimaging and genome-wide array data in Imaging Genetics and discover the phenotypic and genotypic biomarkers to characterize the neurodegenerative process in the progression of Alzheimer's disease and other complex brain disorders. We also utilized our new machine learning models to analyze the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) for predicting the heart failure patients' readmission and drug side effects, identify the histopathological image markers and the multi-dimensional cancer genomic biomarkers in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) for precision medicine, predict performance and guide design of nanoparticle synthesis in Materials Genome research, and detect the DTI and fMRI based brain circuitry patterns in Human Connectome.
Dr. Heng Huang is a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), and an Adjunct Professor of Clinical Sciences at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW). Dr. Huang received the PhD degree in Computer Science at Dartmouth College and then joined UTA as an assistant professor. His research areas include imaging genetics, medical image analysis, bioinformatics, machine learning and data mining, health informatics, neuroinformatics, and precision medicine. Dr. Huang has published more than 130 papers in top-tier conferences and many papers in premium journals, such as NIPS, ICML, KDD, RECOMB, ISMB, IPMI, MICCAI, IJCAI, AAAI, CVPR, ICCV, SIGIR, Bioinformatics, IEEE Trans. on Medical Imaging, Medical Image Analysis, TKDE, etc. As PI, Dr. Huang is leading an NIH funded $2 million R01 project on imaging genomics based complex brain disorder study, multiple (6 as PI and 3 as Co-PI) NSF funded projects on biomedical data science, neuroimaging, big data mining, precision medicine, electronic medical record data mining and privacy-preserving, computational biology, smart healthcare, cyber physical system, and also industry (e.g. Con Edison in New York City) funded projects on computational sustainability, smart metering, and smart grid.

Black holes are fascinating objects for both their extreme properties and their extreme weirdness! Even though physicists don't have the complete explanation, there are many things that we've discovered are true of black holes since they were predicted a century ago. There are also may popular misconceptions to clear up, and may physics questions still unanswered. Swing by for a layman-friendly discussion of these bizarre objects.
Admission to this after-hours educational program is free to the public. Live observing will continue throughout the evening in the Apollo Observatory (weather permitting).

Noble Sissle (July 10, 1889 – December 17, 1975) was born in Indianapolis, and moved with his family to Cleveland in 1906 when his father became minister of Cory Methodist Church at E. 35th & Scovill. At the age of seventeen he attended Central High where he played baseball and football, and sang with the glee club.
During World War I, Sissle entered the Army and became the drum major of an Army band that caused a sensation in France by playing a form of ragtime music. The 369th Infantry Band, led by Lt. James Reese Europe, began calling itself a "jazz band." Reese's Army band not only helped popularize the new music among U.S. soldiers, but it was the first exportation of jazz, America's new art form. Sissle said at the time, "The jazz germ hit France and it spread everywhere" they went. - Joe Mosbrook, Jazzed in HistoryMosbrook also credits Sissle with discovering Sidney Bechet, and being part of a vaudeville act with Eubie Blake. Sissle composed the classic tune I'm Just Wild About Harry, and three years before The Jazz Singer created a short film with Blake called A Phonofilm that was first shown at the Palace Theatre in December, 1923. He had a history of breaking racial barriers, working clubs that had previously hired only all-white ensembles.
In 1935 Sissle hired a young chorus girl from the Cotton Club to sing with his Franco-Harlem Revue, and she was singing for them when they played in Cleveland for a week in October, 1936. Her name was Lena Horne.


text: Out of 25 fry all but 5 are dead. Opened the package to the smell of dead fish. I saw a couple wiggling so I tried to salvage what I could. I had 5 that seem ok so far. The rest sank immediately. My question is should I try to remove the dead ones immediately or will that stress the living ones too much?

Until now there have only been two types of entries on the rota, shifts and holidays. Support for Sick Leave has now been added to Rotaville.
Sick Leave can be recorded on the rota only by rota managers. When an employee calls in sick a "Sick Leave" shift can be added to the rota to record their absence. Recording sick leave helps rota managers when reassigning existing shifts by blocking out the employee. Recording sick leave will also let other managers and employees know that the sick employee is unavailable.
Managers can click on the "Sick" menu tab to add a Sick Leave entry to the rota.
or on the 'Add Sick' button on mobile
For workplaces with multiple rotas, if a rota with the name "Sick Leave" or "Holidays" exists, then these rotas will be pre-selected in the add sick leave form.
By default, employees can only see their own sick leave entries on the rota, but this can be changed using the new All Sick Leave visible to Employees setting in Workplace Settings. Managers can always see all sick leave entries. Employees can always see their own sick leave entries.
In Settings, employees can choose to receive email notifications about their sick leave.
In Settings, managers can choose to receive email notifications about sick leave entries for all employees.
A new Sick Report PDF option has been added the Print menu tab. The Sick Report uses the same calendar year settings as the Holiday Report.
When printing the Rota PDF from the Print menu tab a new option has been added so that you can choose what types of records are included,
so it's now possible to print the rota without holidays included, or just holidays and sick leave, etc.
Version 51.X.X of the Rotaville Mobile App is now available on Android and shortly on iPhone. This update includes support for Sick Leave and many other small fixes and enhancements.

Marketed in the EU before 01/05/2004. Do not require the CE mark to be used but should be adapted to the minimum safety requirements according to the mandatory tool directive 2009/104/EC. Their users are responsible for the safety assessment and machine risk analysis.
Manufactured or marketed after 01/05/2004. They should be provided with the CE mark and fulfil basic machine safety requirements according to machine directive 2006/42/EC. Machine manufacturers are responsible for the machine risk analysis and the assessment of conformity of the machines to the directive.
Feel free to contact our company, Teknomatik, Bielsko-Biała. We guarantee a professional delivery of a service and an individual approach to every client. We deliver CE certification services in the entire Silesia and other regions.
A product must have a CE mark before it is launched on the European market. According to the EU directives, every manufacturer is obliged to carry out the machine risk assessment.
The machine safety assessment makes it possible to obtain the CE mark. Thereby, the entrepreneur is responsible for irregularities and problems related to safety during the use of product.
Ocena bezpieczeństwa maszyn daje możliwość uzyskania znaku CE. Tym sposobem przedsiębiorca ponosi odpowiedzialność za nieprawidłowości i problemy mające powiązanie z bezpieczeństwem podczas użytkowania towaru.
The manufacturer who provides its products with the CE marking must be sure that they meet the basic requirements set by the EU directives for machines. In addition, the product should have an identification number, type and year of production. It is essential for the manufacturer to know when it is required to use the CE marking.
The CE marking becomes a must-have for machines and devices. The machine risk analysis should be completed before the product is marketed. In other words, the machine must fulfil the requirements of new approach directives and undergo machine conformity assessment procedures. The member states have no right to impose restrictions on the marketing of products which bear the CE mark.
CE is not a trademark. A trademark makes it possible to distinguish products from other products available in the market. It is about a catch-phrase, a graphic, a name. The trademark can be covered by a protection right. The authorised party may then place the ® symbol next to the mark to indicate that the mark has been registered.
Yes, a product can have more than just one CE mark but it applies only to particular single cases. If you have a complicated device which consists of advanced units, each of them can have individual CE marking. In such case, the mark is displayed in a visible spot on a special plate and refers to the whole machine.
The CE marking is a "pass" that a product needs to appear on the European market which covers 30 member states and includes more than 500 million consumers. The manufacturer who does not have this marking is not authorised to market and sell specific goods.
You are welcome to use our products and services. Teknomatik, Bielsko-Biała, delivers its services mainly in the area of Silesia but we are available over the country as well.

This is an introduction to my Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) stock analysis which is based on Q1 2018 results. My exposure to BAM allows me to benefit from its expertise and success with alternative asset investments.
- BAM reported strong Q1 2018 results on May 10, 2018.
- At the end of Q1 2018 (March 31st), BAM maintained core liquidity and uncalled private fund commitments of $32B. It also generated over $2.5B of annual free cash flow from its asset management business and distributions from invested capital.
- I wish to have exposure to alternative assets but lack the expertise and resources to properly analyze same. My exposure to BAM allows me to benefit from its expertise and success with such investments.
Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE: BAM TSX: BAM-A) is a leading global alternative asset manager, focused on investing in long-life, high-quality assets across real estate, renewable power, infrastructure and private equity. It provides a wide variety of investment products to its investors including private funds, listed issuers, and public securities.
Source: BAM 2017 Annual Report page 8 of 196
BAM's interests are aligned with its investors because it invests large amounts of its own balance sheet capital in its funds; BAM is typically the largest investor in its private funds and the largest investor in each of its four flagship publicly listed partnerships:
- Brookfield Property Partners L.P. (NYSE: BPY);
- Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (NYSE: BEP);
- Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (NYSE: BIP);
- Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (NYSE: BBU).
BAM's financial returns are represented primarily by the combination of fees earned as an asset manager as well as capital appreciation and distributions from its invested capital.
Please refer to the 'Differentiation' section of my February 18, 2018 article wherein I touch upon why BAM appeals to me as a long-term investment. That article also addresses BAM's historical returns and credit ratings. I also share links to BAM's September 27, 2017 Investor Day presentation and the transcript associated with the presentation; I share these links again in this article so you can get a comprehensive overview of the company.
Additional details can also be found in my September 25, 2017, May 20, 2017, and February 10, 2017 articles and in my Low or No Dividend Yield Companies Belong in Your Portfolio.
In addition to the above, I encourage you to listen to this May 1, 2018 Bloomberg interview in which Bruce Flatt (BAM's CEO) explains the opportunities BAM sees in real estate.
For the sake of full disclosure, I hold the TSX listed BAM shares in the FFJ Portfolio and also in accounts I do not publicly disclose. Shares are held in Tax Free Savings Accounts, Registered Accounts, and in Non-Registered accounts. I also acquired additional BAM shares in February 2018.

Russian art director displays wife's giant public mural in Moscow for World Cup
Moscow, July 6: It can't get larger than this. The chief of an advertising agency in Russia, the country which is playing hosts to the 21st edition of the football world cup, used the opportunity to decorate Moscow ahead of the quadrennial tournament to commission a massive 12-story mural of his own wife, Reuters reported.
The huge portrait shows Daria, wife of Novatek Art director Ivan Panteleev in gym clothing, holding a football and standing in the open. Three cartoon birds were also seen admiring her in the portrait.
"This is the mural with which we are welcoming all foreigners to Russia and inviting them to the football games!" Novatek Art said in a description of the image on social media.

Panteleev told Rueters that the money for the façade in Zhulebino district came from Moscow's city budget and one of the four world cup murals co-sponsored by its public relations committee.
He acknowledged that his wife chipped in as the model for that particular giant painting, Reuters said. Panteleev also said that one of the two painters who made the mural is Mue Bon, a graffiti artist from Thailand, who was in Russia for another government-funded Novatek Art project related to the mega event.
But not all eyes are admiring
The portrait of Panteleev's wife, which was unveiled before the World Cup began last month, also left many people upset, especially those from the street art community, said the Reuters report. There was criticism over the art director painting his own wife's mural but the former retorted, saying it was irrelevant whether he knew the figure on whom the mural was made.
Russian cities have been decorated with giant murals of players like Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar during the world cup.

Fox News host Bret Baier and his family survived a motor vehicle crash in Montana after the television anchor's sport-utility vehicle slid on an icy road, collided with a pickup truck and turned over in a ditch, authorities said Tuesday.
Baier, the executive editor of Fox News Channel's "Special Report," said in a statement that after a weekend of skiing he was driving to the airport on icy roads outside Bozeman with his wife and their two sons on Monday morning when they were "involved in a major car crash" in Bozeman.
Baier, 48, said a passing motorist named Zach stopped, and the family was able to climb out of the flipped vehicle. He said first responders got them to a hospital quickly, from which he says they left "banged up but alive."
The roadway was incredibly icy, said John Barnes, a spokesman for the Montana Department of Justice. Baier was unable to stop at an intersection, and his vehicle was struck on the driver's side by another vehicle, Barnes said.
A photo provided by the Montana Highway Patrol showed Baier's vehicle on its side in a snowy ditch. Three passengers in Baier's vehicle and one passenger in the truck were taken to a hospital for minor injuries.
No citations were issued, and authorities don't suspect alcohol or drugs were factors in the crash, Barnes said.
Baier was expected to be back on the air Tuesday night, Fox said. He tweeted Tuesday that his family is "back home and on the mend," and he called the first responders who helped "true pros."

Podcast: Provincetown CommonsDecember 20, 2018
I joined Provincetown Town Manager David Panagore on his monthly radio show to talk about the Town's ongoing economic development strategy. Jim Damicis and I were in PTown in late November hosting a community forum focusing on topics including tourism, arts, housing, the Blue Economy and others. The Provincetown economic development strategy has been a really fun and challenging project that will require some creative strategies… and if we are lucky, another site visit in warmer months.

What are the general signs that my dog has a food allergy?
Just like humans, dogs can get allergies—and, like us, they can be caused by a multitude of things, ranging from environmental problems (like pollutants) to food.
Of course, any fast change in diet is going to cause a GI upset in your dog, and that's considered to be more a food intolerance than an allergy. Typically, allergies show up within the ages two to six—but, again like us, they can show up at any time; for instance, your dog might be eating the same food for years and be just fine. Then, all of a sudden, she develops an allergy to it. It's the same for us!
True food allergies have the following symptoms:
Skin Irritation
• It can be simple itching or more extreme–the dog is excessively scratching, biting, and chewing to relieve the itch, resulting in hair loss, hot spots and infections. Common locations include the ears, eyes, muzzle, paws, underarms, groin, and anus. It's not unusual for the dog to be completely bald within a half hour—that's how fast and frantic the scratching can be!
Yeast infections also tend to be good indicators of a food allergy, so chances are also pretty good that if your dog has a food allergy if she's diagnosed with a yeast infection.
• Vomiting is a common sign of a food allergy in a dog, sometimes accompanied by diarrhea. If you see her stretching a lot, it might be because she's trying to get some for relief for painful gas, which can be another symptom.
A visit to the veterinarian is warranted if you think your dog has a food allergy. The vet will administer tests to discern a food allergy from another medical issue, such as atopy, flea-bite allergies, yeast infection, bacterial infection, sarcoptal mange, or intestinal parasites. Then the veterinarian can prescribe an appropriate treatment, whether it be antibiotics, supplements or special diets.

The landscape is very dense with trees - not sure if this will affect the range of the drone ? - the furthest it would need to fly would be about 20...

looks good. but this is a total act. All set up. Fake pizza guy 1. They do not ring you bell 10 times in a row. You will get your ass beat in most areas for that. 2. a woman answers the door like that and this 20yr old with puberty cracking voice starts a conversation about her order last week and her usual guy and missing mushrooms? BTW They will NOT leave the pizza place, knowing they have the wrong pizza get the wrong pizza and it is free and they will come back with the right pizza for free( standard practice 3. she is wearing that and you ask for her number? You do not assume she has a man in the bedroom or is pranking you? Sorry to ruin the fantasy but this is fake and obviously she is doing a webcam for tips. And I am sure she got some with this setup that was more obvious than a 2005\
