'Avengers 4' trailer release delayed as a mark of respect to George H.W. Bush
Marvel fans will have to wait for the first look and title release of the upcoming 'Avengers 4' which was delayed due to George H.W. Bush's funeral
Marvel fans will have to be a bit more patient and hold on for news about 'Avengers 4', especially since the trailer for the much-awaited movie has now reportedly been delayed.
The title release and the first look trailer for the fourth part of the massive series has been postponed until Friday, December 7, as a mark of respect for the former President of the United States of America George H.W. Bush who passed away last week. The 41st president died on November 30.
Many die-hard fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) were thrilled when they had the chance to see a special viewing of 'Avengers: Infinity War' in Hollywood which was followed with an incredible opportunity to get to question the men behind the films — Anthony and Joseph Russo. However, questions about the new film were not entertained leaving fans disappointed.
This was not the only time that fans have been close to getting new information about the upcoming film. In October, Mark Ruffalo who plays the Hulk, was in trouble when he accidentally let slip the title of the upcoming film in front of a live audience on an interview on 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon'.
The moment was edited out for TV but that did not stop the Russo brothers from tweeting to Mark in a quip saying, 'Mark, you're fired'. Marvel fans have a lot to look forward to, given the number of epic films which are lined up for release including the likes of 'Guardians of The Galaxy 3', 'Black Panther 2' and 'Spiderman: Homecoming 2'.
The entire United States is in mourning as the nation bids farewell to President George H.W. Bush who will be buried alongside his wife Barbara and their daughter Robin who had passed away at the age of three to leukemia in Texas.
Speaking at his father's funeral, former President George. W. Bush shared that the family took solace and comfort in the fact that he will be reunited with people who meant the world to him. "So, through our tears, let us see the blessings of knowing and loving you – a great and noble man, and the best father a son or daughter could have. And in our grief, let us smile knowing that Dad is hugging Robin and holding Mom's hand again," George shared.

Posted on October 22, 2018 in General News,
Team Orlando, with National Center for Simulation (NCS) support, features high school and technical school students demonstrating Modeling and Simulation (M&S) projects that are of interest to and potentially of value to industry, academia and government. Demonstrations will take place on 25 February 2019, 9:00am-2:00pm, in the Central Florida Research Park, Partnership III Building, Conference Rooms 321A & B. There is no cost to attend or for students to demonstrate at this special event.
High schools throughout Florida have been invited to participate. Projects to be demonstrated are integral to the coursework consistent with the State of Florida Department of Education M&S or related curriculum. Many of the students will have industry M&S Certifications, granted by NCS and approved by Florida. To date, in excess of 280 students have industry certifications in M&S, demonstrating that they have the STEM skill-set so attractive to the M&S industry. The certification was recently approved by the State of Virginia.
Schools will send teams of up to 6 students who worked on the project during the school year. They will compete for prizes to go to the schools (and students) to support M&S curricula. The NCS Board of Directors and President/CEO Lt. Gen ( USAF-Ret) Tom Baptiste are excited about this first-of-its-kind event for out M&S community. Student Day attendees will vote on the merits of the projects, leading to awards.
There are over 8,000 Florida students taking courses in M&S to include gaming, animation and visualization. Students enrolled in M&S programs throughout the state understand and use the same software building blocks employed by the simulation industry (Maya, Inventor, Unity, Blender, Unreal, etc.). This experience, coupled with the M&S Certification, gives students the skill set necessary to qualify for internships and entry level positions within the industry. The Team Orlando M&S Student Day gives government and industry an opportunity to witness the capabilities of today's student, recognize the initiatives in place to develop the future workforce, and it provides a forum for student teams to display and present the results of their hard work. Presentation skills will be "sharpened" for this event, the first of its kind in the M&S community.
The announcement for this event directs students, school administrators to contact their school district for more information and/or visit the NCS website.
More detailed information is attached for those schools wishing to participate in this challenging event as well as a form to be completed by students wishing to participate.

Are you someone who rises before the sun to join the long string of headlights along the highway and then wind your way home long after sunset? Is the weekend the only time that you see your yard in the daylight? If so, the 'Moon Garden' or the 'Evening Garden' may be your key to serenity.
Find peace and repose in a garden that looks its best when there is little or no sunlight and the moon is the center of the night sky.
There are two key elements to this type of garden—plants that stand out in low light (e.g., white, yellow, cream) and silver flowers or foliage, architectural or sculptural plants, interesting bark forms, or plants that emit their scents at nighttime to attract pollinators.
Low-wattage lights can be used to enhance garden features or create dramatic shadows and textures. Many people install pathways lined with oystershell or other luminescent material that reflect the light of the moon.
There are a large number of plants that are perfect for this type of gardening. Flowers and foliage that glow as the sun sets begin the orchestration. Orange and yellow flowers and foliage catch the last rays of the setting sun, giving them a dramatically different look than at midday. Purple and fuchsia flowers and foliage shine rather than retreat at this time of the day.
As darkness falls, cream, light-yellow, white and silver flowers and foliage glitter. You can see how Coreopsis 'Moonbeam' earned its name as it twinkles in the fading light and becomes iridescent after dark.
[caption id="attachment_10745" align="aligncenter" width="580"]
Coreopsis 'Moonbeam'
Plants with shiny leaves, such as holly and rhododendron, reflect any light that is present, drawing them into the foreground. They become focal points in the landscape rather than a mere subtlety. This is also true of many variegated foliage plants. Special mention should be made of silver foliage plants. During the day, the silver foliage reflects the bright sun and protects the plant from intense sun and dryness. At night, this same foliage glows under the moonlight. A moon garden introduces a cast of characters that were always there, but were never obvious. Now they dominate.
Trees and shrubs with contrasting colored bark, such as whitish to brownish or cinnamon exfoliating bark (e.g. - birch, pines and maples), twisted shapes of weeping trees, topiary or tortured forms (Harry Lauder's Walking Stick) strut through the evening landscape. Unique shadows form.
Ornamental grasses are an often-overlooked element of gardens, but in a moon garden, they are indispensable.
Not only do they provide texture and color to a garden, but they are the voice of a nighttime garden as they sway and rustle in the warm summer breezes. And, when fall approaches, they change color and dramatic plumes appear, providing new focal points in the garden.
As dusk turns into twilight, and twilight turns into darkness, the most dramatic aspect of a moon garden is revealed as the nighttime-flowering plants begin to open.
Some of the most beautiful waterlilies and exotic purple and blue tropicals open and remain so until the next morning. There is a group of daylilies that do the same. We have all learned about Four O'Clocks in nursery rhymes, but have you ever seen one bloom? Midnight parties are put on by gardeners to watch the White Night-blooming Cactus unfurl. It is truly an experience of a lifetime.
The list of plants that are more fragrant at night is a lengthy one. Moths are the secret pollinators which gather the sweet nectar at night and pollinate these flowers, taking up the night shift in a position usually held by butterflies and bees. White is the predominate color of this type of flower. Some of the most exotic orchids with long, narrow flower parts have evolved for fertilization by long-tongued moths in Madagascar.
The next time you visit Homestead Gardens, visit our various departments and find out which plants would work best for you in a nighttime garden. Shake it up a little. Become a night-owl and see your garden like you've never seen it before.
Suggested Plants for a Moon Garden
• All of the above
• Hydrangea 'Limelight' (Hydrangea paniculata)
• Rose Mallow 'Luna Blush' (Hibiscus moscheutos)
• Rose of Sharon 'White Chiffon' (Hibiscus syriacus)
• Crapemyrtle 'Acoma' (Lagerstroemia indica)
• Phlox 'David' (Phlox paniculata)
• Speedwell 'Icicle' (Veronica spicata)
• White Cleome (Cleome hassleriana)
• Silver Mound (Artesmia schmidtiana)
• Lily 'Sunny Salawesi' (Lilium)
• Flowering Tobacco (Nicotiana sylvestris)
• Canna Lily 'Tropical White' (Canna x generalis)

Finance Minister János Veres said on Tuesday that Hungary's 2007 public finance deficit had been calculated at Ft 1,753.2 billion (€6.7 billion), amounting to 6.9% of GDP using cash-flow accounting or 6.8% using ESA 95 calculations.
Speaking at a Budapest news conference, Veres said the budget was focused on gap reduction and responsible spending. The budget was calculated for an inflow of Ft 14,406.1 billion (€55.4 billion) and expenditure of Ft 16,159.3 billion (€62.1 billion). The central budget deficit will amount to Ft 1,653 billion (€6.3 billion), the social insurance fund deficit to Ft 32.2 billion (€123 million), the local government deficit will be Ft 84 billion (€316 million), and separate earmarked government funds show a Ft 16 billion (€61 million) surplus. There will be a reserve fund of Ft 221 billion (€850 million) built into the budget, Veres added.

Glasgow born artist Laura Harrison has been one of the shining lights of our Summer exhibition. One of her paintings graced the cover of our Summer catalogue (see our first 'Welcome' post) and was snapped up immediately. In the following three weeks we have continued to sell her still lifes and landscapes. They are optimistic, full of light and life, and they are capturing peoples' imaginations.
A student in the 1960s at Glasgow School of Art, Laura Harrison studied under David Donaldson, one of Scotland's best and arguably most underrated artists of the 20th century. With a strong basis in drawing and painting, her rich and expressive paintings take everyday subject matter, and through them she uses the paint to express herself as a true artist feels compelled to.
As she is in demand, we have had to ask her for more! These three beauties are some of her newest work. And the paint's still wet! Well, almost.
And yes, for those who know me, Laura Harrison is my mum. Growing up around her paintings, the sights and smells emerging from the studio got into my blood and inspired me to always want to be around great art, artists and most importantly, people being bold enough to express themselves for all the world to see.
Thanks for reading!

An investor I recently spoke with stated, "I look at a company's website and ask, would anyone care if this company went away? If the answer is no, I go on to the next thing."
As a strategist I ask, "Has your company uniquely positioned itself in the market, and does that positioning align to your company's mission, vision, and values?"
If the answer is "yes" to both questions above, then find ways – beyond sales – to validate that your customers feel the same way. If your customers aren't reflecting your messaging (based on your insights about them), you'd better quickly change the conversation.

Our vegetable and avocado salad recipe is one of those easy to make and tasty Jello salad recipes.
I love jello salads.
This one combines the smooth richness of avocado with the freshness of crisp green pepper, the tang of minced onions and the crunch of chopped nuts, in this case pecans.
- 6 ounces lime flavoured gelatin
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 1/2 cups mashed avocado
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup diced green pepper
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/3 cup chopped pimento
- 2 teaspoons minced onion
- lettuce leaves
Step 1
Dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water. Add the avocado and mayonnaise. Mix well. Chill until the mixture is the consistency of an unbeaten egg white. Remove from the refrigerator and stir in the green pepper, pecans, pimento and minced onion. Pour the mixture into a lightly oiled 5 1/2 cup mold.
Step 2
Chill until the salad is set. Unmold onto lettuce leaves. Garnish with additional pimento for added color if you desire.
Add a bit of pimento for color and encase it in a light lime flavored jelly and you have a lovely light salad recipe that is perfect for lunch or on a buffet table.
This makes a wonderful vegetable side dish recipe with other of your favorite summer salads.
Jellied salads are so versatile and tasty and best of all, really easy to make.
They always go over well at any get together, whether it is a baby shower, barbecue or on a buffet table.

Financial Support
LAMB tries very hard not to be dependent on outside donations. We cover about 85% of all our normal operating costs through fees from trainees and patients, grants, and other local income.
For the remainder of our operating costs, and the bigger expenses on maintenance and capital items (ranging from small hospital equipment purchase through to new buildings) we are having to rely on donations.
To continue normal operation currently the need is approx. US$ 200,000 – LAMB is quite large. Extra will enable us to buy and replace equipment. LAMB's Poor Fund enables poorer patients to apply for part or total subsidy for their bills
Donations of all sizes – small or large – would be very much appreciated
Because it is not simple or cheap to transfer money to LAMB in Bangladesh, there are support organizations who collect money for LAMB and/ or forward donations to LAMB.

From Maxconsole.net:
"Before we begin telling the story of how the 360 game save community is fighting back against regulations imposed by MS, one thing must be made clear - NOT everyone wants to cheat online to boost their gamer score, many gamers just want to retain control over content which they have paid for. Microsoft simply does not like people sharing game saves, they decided to crawl through the database at 360gamesaves and extracted the Unique console IDs from every save shared this. When they released their last dashboard update, they include a list of these console ID's in the 'revoked console ID list'. The list was integrated into the update which tells the Xbox 360 to treat every save made by the console on the list as a corrupt save file, rending the saves useless. HOWEVER, the community is planning to fight back and find out just how below."
I'm very unfamiliar to all of this, if someone would care to explain a brief 2 sentence abstract of what this is about, I'd like to know. Thank you.
I am against gamerscore boosting.. A gamerscore is not a true leveling of a players skills because i know plenty of guys with a gamer score of 3000 or less who would be happy to spend all night running up kill after kill on you in GRAW, R6V, SC, or Halo 2.
I think them eliminating the trading of gamesaves starts to erode the very good feeling alot of people have in the console community toward Microsoft. It is one of the few areas where mention of their name doe not immediately blot out the sun with dark dark thunderclouds and memories of how swift, and brutal their business model can be. They should step away from this and find a way to make a mutual agree ment. I have a gameshare devise and have used their gamesaves for a few games, but i haven't ever gotten a achievement by using them.
If you comment on this before you say save game traders are cheaters... Make sure you have never:
1) NEVER used a gamesave that was not yours on ANY CONSOLE or SYSTEm.
2) NEVER used a GAMEGENIE, ACTION REPLAY or any such item.
3) NEVER used a punch in code, KOnami code, game entered code or easter egg code of any kind.
If you have... your comment means jack squat because you my friend are a hypocrite, because you have choosen to work outside the normal rules of playing a game... as such you are a game trader/cheater also.
users have been uploading saved games and buying/selling/gifting to other xbox users so they can improve their gamer score.
Microsoft found a way to discover which users where doing this and corrupted their saved files.
The users are now fighting back by using a mod that allows then to trade game saves without the fear of Microsoft banning them.
Thats my understanding of the situation anyway ;)
And should be banned from XBL, just like the modders and glitches a few weeks back. These people try to mask their intentions, but %99.9 of them are using it to get gamerscore and achievements they did not earn. No matter what the excuse is if you can't do it properly you shouldn't play. If they want to "fight back" and put all this energy into this, why don't they just play the freakin games??? Oh yea, that's right, they have no skills. Also, if they want to challenge MS, they can do so but MS has every right to ban them from Live. If anything MS is playing nice and just not allowing you to use someone else's save but if they want to get nasty they can and have every right to do so.
Gamer Scores were BOGUS..Who has time to play every game and unlock everything.
Why do people have to cheat? just to brag or what? Of course the same goes for taking steroids..

MINTO – To help celebrate the organization's 65th anniversary two years ago the Harriston Horticultural Society created a new initiative: a "Garden of the Month" designation for exceptional grounds within Minto.
Everyone who has a beautiful home landscape puts much time, effort and work into maintaining their little piece of paradise, and the horticultural society strives to acknowledge these efforts.
The first year, signs designed by horticultural society member and graphic artist Irmgard Kuersten-Kirkorian were placed on the front lawns of three happy home owners each month and remained for several weeks.
The panel of three judges found that many passionate gardeners had a backyard or secret garden filled with a combination of unusual plants and creative artistry. This prompted a new class, and more signs were added to the allotment in 2018.
The original idea was to have friends, neighbours and relatives contact the society with a recommendation. The concept took a while to catch on but last year recommendations began rolling in more regularly. Local mail carriers have the perfect opportunity to report on the rural areas. But delivery men, repairmen, service people, Sunday afternoon drivers, or visitors from around the county are urged to submit a nomination if they see a front garden that makes them take a second look.
Originally the Clifford Horticultural Society declined to participate because they were heavily involved with preparations for a 2017 Homecoming Weekend that included prizes for best area gardens. With that project in the rearview mirror, the Clifford group has opted to be involved.
During the past two years many properties in Palmerston, Harriston and the rural surrounding area have been "signed." With Clifford joining the fold the whole of Minto will be covered.
While the society anticipates recommendations will continue to flow from the public, to recognize special local gardens, their own panel of judges will continue to do drive-by evaluations.
Anyone wishing to recommend a property for consideration is urged to contact Jean Anderson 519-505-5914 or firstname.lastname@example.com, Sue Bridge at 519-323-1642 or email@example.com , or Sandy Gilmore at 519-338-3215 or email@example.com.

Blantyre, Malawi National Examinations Board (MANEB) has announced that there will be some changes in the 2019 Malawi School Certificate of Examinations (MSCE) format in light of the newly introduced secondary school curriculum.
Briefing the media on Friday in Blantyre, MANEB Chief Executive Officer, Gerald Chiunda, said the changes have also come as an immediate response to the scrapping off of Junior Certificate of Education (JCE) coupled with the introduction of new subjects in line with the new curriculum.
The 2019 examinations will take care of both junior and senior secondary content in a balanced manner, as the success criteria demands. Concepts that end at junior secondary level will be reflected in the questions for that level and those that develop up to the senior secondary level will also be reflected as they appear in Form 4, said Chiunda.
The CEO added: To give prospective candidates a clear picture of the 2019 examination papers' format, MANEB has already produced sample papers which will be circulated in schools in January 2018.
Chiunda said MANEB would administer examinations for the 24 subjects that are on the new curriculum which include Chemistry, Creative Arts, Performing Arts, Physics and Social Studies except for Physical Education, which is not examinable.
However, Chiunda pointed out that the board will introduce handling and procurement of materials and items for all 2018 practical examinations subjects.
MANEB will send a list of all materials, chemicals and items required for the practical examinations to all schools and will advise schools to procure enough of such requirements for all candidates, he emphasized.
Subject teachers will collect confidential instructions from their examinations distribution centres a day before the examination and make the necessary preparations.
Schools that will buy examination materials the day before the examinations will be disqualified, Chiunda warned.

text: Hi, today I want to talk about my last project: my kitchen. When renting a house, the chances to changing or moving furniture are very low. Therefore, the only possible form of expression is colour. When I moved in with my family, we opted for an inexpensive kitchen. I often think about Leggi tutto

Hey guys sorry I have gone for a while just took a break to enjoy the summer with loved ones and start planning on some business ventures
so yesterday (Wednesday 28th August) my cousin thought it would be a good idea for us to go and try out the Fendi Cafe in Harrods for lunch, as I had not really been out this summer after giving birth to my beautiful daughter I agreed.
We arrived at Harrods for 3.15pm, as it is a 15minute walk from the main entrance
On the 5th floor by the technology department we got to the restaurant at 3.30pm and was told we would have to wait 30minutes as they are very busy. Quite understandable as it's "Fendi"plus they do not take reservations so it's first come first served basis
We finally were given a table at 4pm
I would have to say the decor was aesthetically pleasing, loved the black and white theme, had the Fendi logo nicely decorated
The customer service was lovely, our waiter was extremely kind to interpret the menu to us as it was in Italian, the food was well cooked, I enjoyed my fruit platter apart from the sour apples which was not too my liking but apart from it all
We all enjoyed our meals and would definitely go back.
Part of Fendi's exclusive summer takeover at Harrods, the FENDI CAFFE is open until Friday 1st November.

CHS 75th timeline
1940- Our founding
In 1938, Dr. Harry E. Amoss, Helen McMurrich, Daisy Moss, Lewis Wood, and Dr. Lorne Pierce met to discuss establishing "an organization which would further the cause of deaf and hard of hearing people." By March 11, 1940, the National Society of the Deaf and the Hard of Hearing was born.

2017 press on black vinyl with printed innersleeve and poster. Limited 350 copies
'Mad Butcher' features the familiar Destruction sound right from the start. The production is not as painstakingly clear as on 'Eternal Devastation' but still far from muddy. Among the few songs on this mini album, the title track (a new version of the classic piece from 'Sentence Of Death') and the cover song 'The Damned' are fine though by no means outstanding, but it's the sharp 'Reject Emotions' and the inspirational instrumental 'The Last Judgement' that really raise the bar and quite probably are a couple of Destruction's most distinctive creations. For its short length, 'Mad Butcher' is not a definite milestone in Destruction's career, but it maintains a certain level of quality established on the band's earlier recordings.
Track listing:
1. Mad Butcher
2. The Damned-Plasmatics cover
3. Reject Emotions
4. The Last Judgement

Lubbock Christian University Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 update.Learn More
LCU recognizes that students often face significant challenges that have the potential to derail them and prevent them from fulfilling their dreams of completing a college education. Challenges that hinder students' success were identified during the 2016–2017 QEP (Quality Enhancement Plan) topic selection process conducted by a committee of LCU faculty and staff. Consequently, a determined focus toward addressing these challenges was made a priority by the university in an effort to serve the needs of our students and strengthen the mission of the university, preparing students for lives of purpose and service. To do so we recognized that we must purposefully attend to factors that affect students' potential for success and their ability to persevere through adversity. Based on this ideal, we determined that the purpose of our QEP would be to instill and foster academic tenacity among beginning undergraduate students in order to both establish and bolster persistence.

HANCOCK COUNTY, Ind. – The two people killed in a plane crash near the Indianapolis Regional Airport last week have been identified.
The Hancock County Coroner's Office says the victims were husband and wife, 75-year-old Robert Walter Holman Jr. and 61-year-old Robin Lynch Holman. The couple was from Incline Village, Nevada.
According to Indiana State Police, the plane went down northeast of the airport just after taking off around 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 22. Robert was the pilot and Robin was the sole passenger.
Officials with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) were called to investigate the crash. According to a preliminary report, the CESSNA S550 plane crashed into a flooded cornfield and "exhibited significant fragmentation," with the debris field covering an area of about 270 ft. long and 103 ft. wide.
NTSB says the plane had been departing from the Indianapolis Regional Airport and was supposed to head towards the Minden-Tahoe Airport in Nevada.
The Holmans were major fixtures at Sierra Nevada College. The school says Robert and Robin had a passion for the arts and were instrumental in acquiring the Holman Media Arts Center, which houses its 2D, 3D, ceramic and digital arts facilities. They also helped establish the school's first community college-based extension center at Lake Tahoe Community College.
"The greatness of the Holmans' influence on the students of Sierra Nevada College can never be summed by any measure," said the college in a statement. "We are humbled by the vision of the world they supported through their leadership in our community, and grateful for the inclusion of SNC in that vision."
Chris Lanier, a faculty member of the SNC's Fine Arts Department issued this statement:
"They were model donors, too – always asking what we needed, and how their donation could best support our students. They clearly got involved with the college because of a genuine love of art – and they often showed up to Art Department events, and not just the ones featuring art world mucky-mucks, either – they showed up to several student BFA shows, with a genuine interest in their work, and that sparkle in the eye that can't be faked."

Children at Weddings – Yes or No?
It can be difficult to make the decision as to whether or not you want children invited to your wedding. If your family is large with a lot of young children, you might not have any other choice but to include them in your special day.
Choosing to host an adult-only event, however, may be what you would prefer.
To help you decide what will be best for your big day, we have compiled the benefits of including the youngsters, and the reasons you may choose to go with an adult-only event.
Interruptions Will Erupt
Inviting young children to your wedding means that are likely to be interruptions throughout the day. They may occur during the wedding ceremony, speeches, and they are bound to happen at the reception. This can distract the adult guests who must then entertain their children so they do not end up in tears. If you hire hired a videographer, this can be quite annoying since, even with post-production editing, you will not be able to fix these interruptions.
Children Are Entertaining
You do have to admit that when you see children at weddings, they tend to be awfully cute and entertaining. Whether they are part of the wedding party or dancing with the DJ, there is an element of innocence that children have that make them quite entertaining. You should decide if the candid photos of these cute little people are worth the interruptions.
Children Are Costly
If the guests you are inviting have many children between them, you should think again about inviting the kids. Including the children in food costs and entertainment fees can add up and before you know it, you might have more kids at your wedding than adults. Having kids there can also make it hard for the adults present to let loose and enjoy your special day if they are busy chasing the kids.
Supervision Required
Should you decide that kids are welcome at your wedding, you should make sure that you have arranged for something to keep the kids entertained and supervised, especially during the big moments of the day. You may want to seat children with their parents at the same tables, and during speeches, you can check with the venue to find out if you can play a movie to keep the children occupied.
No matter what you decide as far as having an adults-only wedding or a child-friendly event, it is important to clearly state your desires on the invitation. Most guests will assume that their children are also invited. Clearly stating your position will prevent any confusion or misunderstandings for your special day.
Booking with one of our venues means, if you choose to have children, you don't need to worry about them, we have dedicated Teen Games Rooms with snacks and drinks, ensuring that they will have something to do without getting under your feet or getting bored. Same with the younger kids, with a dedicated soft area and a cinema room, you can rest assured that they will also enjoy the day.

Sibanye Gold (SBGL): Friday morning saw a big change in numbers at SBGL as the bottom fell out of the nominal share price of Sibanye Gold (SBGL). This was due to the announcement (8) of a rights issue to existing shareholders that lets them buy nine shares for every seven they already own at a discount which is up for debate (it depends how you frame the terms), but was generally reported at 60% by the bizwires and media. That made for a big difference and the 32.2% drop on Friday got me blogging (9) along with the rest of the world. Before we go any further I do think it a negative deal because the raise was much bigger than expected. In effect SBGL are saying that equity is cheaper than debt, the implied message being shareholders are bigger suckers than banker (no disagreement there but I wish they hadn't been so blatant about it). I also certainly stick by the main thrust of my post on Friday, that sell side anal ysts sitting in their cubicles in brokerages are either 1) groping in the dark about company strategies along with us or 2) in possession of illegal inside information. However, we need to address the share price drop caused by the rights call because as you can see above, SBGL shares are still in the green in my little list. How so? Read on.
Rights offerings are more common in UK listed stocks than they are in companies listed on in The Americas and I don't mind admitting, it's a long time since I modelled a real live issuance (though I did have to do a few ciggypack calcs on Minera IRL when the scumbags running the show in 2015 and 2016 threatened us all with one). In this case SBGL (the object of our affection, the NYSE ADR) is offering two things to its existing shareholders:
- If you own 7 shares of SBGL you have the right to buy 9 new shares.
- You can buy those 9 new shares at a hefty discount (details further down on that)
That means the current share count is going to be diluted heavily and that showed in the share price dumpage. SBGL closed U$8.13 on Thursday, the day before the rights announcement and after the hoo-hah of Friday closed 32.23% down at U$5.51. But! What we need to understand is that the holders of SBGL shares haven't just lost that money. They've also been given the right to buy a whole bunch of new stock at a big discount which they can either buy and hold or, if they prefer, sell immediately. That's the "right" they have in the deal, (it's called a rights offering after all) and it's worth money. Our job is to find out how much it's worth and for that, here we go with a little model based purely on the SBGL ADR that's traded in New York. The bullet points go like this:
- Person X owns 1000 shares of SBGL. As they closed at U$8.13 on Thursday, the position was worth a total of U$8,130.
- The rights offering happens and as a result, SBGL gives Person X the right to buy 1,285 shares at a 60% discount. As a matter of fact, the much-bandied 60% number is a bit false, it's done to a nominal price of U$8.60 per ADR as the deal is being struck in South African Rand and on May 17th closing prices, there is a bit of looseness to reality.
- Anyway, in real terms that means Person X can now buy 1,285 shares at U$3.44 per share (assuming the US Dollar/Rand forex remains unchanged during the period).
- Person X decides that they will indeed take up their rights in full. Friday sees the stock close at U$5.51.
- Therefore person X now owns U$5,510 of common stock, plus 1,285 pieces of paper, called "rights", to buy SBGL at U$3.44 a pop.
- The difference between the U$5.51 close and the U$3.44 rights price is U$2.27. therefore and in effect, Person X holds 1,285 in-the-money call options that they can exercise and sell on the very same day (if they so desire) which would net them U$2,917 (pre-commish).
- Therefore, as at this weekend Person X now has a total holding in SBGL of (5510 + 2,917) U$8,427. Far from being down, that person is now theoretically up on the deal by U$297. For sure there is commission to take into account, but it's a lot less dramatic than it looked in the first place.
So that's the math, far less dramatic than the big fat red number we saw on the boards Friday, is it not? However, it also means that to stay within the realms of reality here at The IKN Weekly Producer Basket I need to adjust the table line item for SBGL. Therefore, in order to make the SBGL position in the Producer Basket as near to reality as possible I've decided to reduce the December 31st reference price by U$2.27 (the difference between the rights value and Friday's close). That brings down the original price as at December 31st to an artificial U$4.79, which obviously wasn't the price that day but is in line with true stock value.
It's not a perfect solution, it doesn't take into account any slippage due to commissions on trades of the rights stocks or any forex adjustments, but it's the easiest way to get to a more reasonable baseline level for SBGL. You'll also note that I've assumed a 100% take-up of the rights offering and the shares out count has moved from 228.71m to 522.77m (228.71/7x9+228.71). That's an interim number, we'll find out how many ADR Equivalent shares exist once the rights offering is closed but at the moment it values SBGL at U$2.88Bn.

Sibanye Gold (SBGL) and that rights offering (from IKN418)
I really don't feel like writing much today so here's the piece from IKN418 last weekend on Sibanye Gold (SBGL) and that rights offering we saw last week. It's an explainer on how the rights offering works and, as the company is part of our tracking "Producer Basket" in the weekly, a word on a necessary price adjustment for the 2017 table in The IKN Weekly.

Any student of retailing has seen segment after segment get overcrowded with imitators and then go through a period of consolidation — from department stores to discounters. Here's a recent RetailWire comment that elaborates on this issue:
Every time a retail segment gets overcrowded with "me too" brands, a shakeout is inevitable. Between the key players like TJX and Ross, the luxury retailers' outlet brands, and the new entries like Backstage and Off/Aisle, the market is ripe for consolidation. It's no different from the waves of brand closures that swept the department and discount store industries, but I do expect TJX and Nordstrom Rack to be among the survivors.
Meanwhile, off-pricers keep expanding their brick-and-mortar footprints (often in other retailers' closed sites) at the same time that most other big chains are working on omnichannel initiatives. You can argue that the "treasure hunt" appeal of off-pricers doesn't lend itself easily to e-commerce, but this segment of retail needs to figure it out in a hurry.

The uncertainty surrounding the Republican effort to replace the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) is forcing some hospitals to delay expansion plans, cut costs, or take on added risk to borrow money for capital investment projects, according to a Reuters report.
Hospitals typically lay out multiyear operating plans that prioritize investments, such as new clinics, medical wings, technology or other projects that help draw in more patients and increase revenue. Denver Health Medical Center, for example, opened a new $26.9 million clinic in the city in 2016 to provide care to an area lacking in health services and saw more patients within six months than it had expected over two years. The health system planned to build or remodel five more facilities based on the new clinic's success.
But since the Republican sweep in the November election, Denver Health has deferred $73.7 million in construction projects that had been planned to serve more low-income residents, many of whom were newly insured under the PPACA.
The act's likely overhaul puts many hospitals in the uncomfortable position of being unable to predict how many of their patients will be insured and what type of coverage they will have in the future. As a result, many are more wary than in previous years to invest in expensive capital projects, issue debt, or expand into new regions, according to Reuters.
So far in 2017, hospital jobs grew by 8,775 monthly on average in the U.S., compared with 11,413 jobs for the same period last year, Bureau of Labor Statistics data show.
The uncertainty has also seeped into the municipal bond market, where nonprofit hospitals access capital, Reuters notes. The sector sold 36% less debt for new projects so far in 2017 compared with the same period last year, while the rest of the municipal market increased the amount of new money issued by 23%.

I noticed in your diagram that you have all ground paths going to the same ground (NST case, safety gap, strike rail, and the secondary coil are all tied together). I've been looking all over for a clue indicating whether this is a good idea or not. Did you ever ruin your NST or your capacitor? Would you do it differently? Does anyone else think it's a bad idea or have any suggestions? The Tesla Coil I'm working on is very similar to the one above, and I'm afraid to turn it on until I understand the best grounding arrangement. Thanks!
Wait, is that the Tesla coil from the make magazine danger edition? By the way, did the marshmallow roast?
In spite of the voltage being in the 10s of thousands they were only moderately melted. Probably not the most efficient way to cook marshmallows but definitely the most exciting :)
Well... How well were they roasted!?! The suspense is killing me!! XD Great idea though!
That's awesome.
Did you guys happen to take a photo of the marshmallows after? I would love to see that!
Holy Cow! Now that's one of the coolest experiments I've seen on Instructables....!
That's really cool!

In the 1998 three-way presidential race, Leedham captured 40% of the votes, coming in second behind Hoffa.
He served as Teamsters international vice president from 1996 to 1998, until he ran for president, and is currently the secretary-treasurer for Local 206 in Portland, Ore. Leedham is also a recording secretary for a joint council.
"The Teamsters need to be the premier organization for the transportation industry," Leedham said. "Our resources should be used to build power to attract drivers who are currently non-union, not to provide perks for elected officials."
He also stressed the importance of an industry-wide organized approach when it comes to his campaign strategy.
"Our campaign is going to strictly focus on the issues that affect Teamsters," he said.

Equine-assisted physical and occupational therapies work wonders for children with special needs. Of course this innovative treatment comes with a price tag. Each hour of treatment costs Children's TherAplay $216; however, the average health insurance reimbursement is only $89.
That's why your support is so very important. Each year we must raise nearly $500,000 to close the gap between the cost of treatment and reimbursements from health insurance so we can continue to help children with special needs grow stronger and have more opportunities in life.
Please make as generous a donation as you can.
Donations may also be mailed to Children's TherAplay at 9919 Towne Road, Carmel, IN 46032.
