Lookout Tower at Kraličák Ski resort designed by Huť Architektury is a year-round accessible 35 meters tower made from wooden larch logs.
Located centrally at the highest point of Stvanice hill in Czech Republic, the tower overlooks the picturesque natural landscape and old town of Jeseniky mountain. Larch logs being highly resistant to pressure have been largely used for construction. Connected by steel joints at every 5 meters and strengthened by stiffeners, steel cables, the observatory rises around a central staircase.
Rising 35 meters high, the tower is located at hilltop
The lookout tower amongst picturesque surroundings
From the Architects –
The lookout tower is a result of several years of collaboration with the local ski resort Kraličák. It is situated at the highest point between Hynčice and Stříbrnice on the hilltop Štvanice 866 m.a.s.l. The supposed center of the resort, on the hill in the forest amongst ski slopes. Around it is a beautiful dramatic vast landscape.
Surrounded by tall trees, the tower gives view of nearby old town
The old town, a view of the entire Jeseníky mountains, on the other side, the heavily wooded hillside of Králický Sněžník where the Morava river springs from. The assignment has been fulfilled, a year-round accessible, 35 meter tall lookout tower, situated at the top station of the chair lift – the center of the resort.
Lookout Tower details –
The tower stands here as a confident slim round obelisk. A center-point. A simple structural diagram, a slim, 35m tall vertical secured by cables. While designing, we were searching for economical, rational solutions that would be an answer to the assignment. We try to base the idea on the location. Stone/wood.
A slim, round obelisk !
Construction using larch wood
As a construction material we chose larch logs. It is used in the way it is pretty much present all around. The tree trunks standing vertically, connected together, elevating the viewing platform, protected against wind by safety glass. In the center of the tower hangs a round wooden staircase, like a pendulum, it balances the gusts of wind.
Centrally located wooden staircase
Viewing platform and construction –
After 152 steps, you ascend above treetops of the surrounding forest. Above you are only signal red lights and a wind vane.
Sizing wasn't easy. This location is tested by strong winds and snow/ice.
Aerial view of the lookout tower
The logs are, after 5m in height, connected by a steel joint to which a stiffening polygon/ triangle is attached. Also in these points, the individual rods are fixated. Horizontal and torsional forces are caught by steel cables fixated into bases located 15m away from the tower.
Held by steel cables, the observation tower is covered by safety glass
Larch itself is well resistant against weather conditions and furtherly a pressure impregnation is used, the wood isn't in contact with soil moisture and joints are designed as drying, therefore we believe this tower should last at least 30 years.

Work on SR-52 continues – maybe we will even see it finished on time (not holding my breath on that, though). The major rerouting from Mission Gorge to SR-125 is done, but now it has moved west to where the road goes under the 53-125 exchange. Meanwhile, CalTrans has put in a new on ramp from Magnolia to SR-67 South (although last time I was over there it was closed while they had a crane doing work alongside the freeway). There is also work going on for the bridge over Cuyamaca Street. Below are a few pictures from the work at Cuyamaca and SR-125, arranged by date.

Ocean Fishing Report, Oct. 28 report
TUNA NEWS: The tuna action off the Southern California coast continues to be excellent, but most of the fish have moved away from the coast and continue to show in excellent numbers on the offshore banks for the overnight and 1 1/2-day boats out of San Diego, Orange, and Los Angeles counties. The yellowfin remain a mixed grade of fish running from 14 to 40 pounds. The fishing pressure has dropped way off with most landings making mostly weekend trips now.
This past weekend, Pacific Queen out of Fisherman's Landing was on a 1 1/2-day trip returning Sunday with 27 anglers who caught 167 yellowfin and eight yellowtail. The New Lo-An out of Point Loma Sportfishing was also on a 1 1/2-day trip that returned Sunday and its 19 anglers had 154 yellowfin and eight yellowtail. The Tribute out of Seaforth Sportfishing returned Sunday from its weekend 1 1/2-day trip with 32 anglers who landed 225 yellowfin, 100 skipjack, and one dorado. The Eclipse out of Seaforth Sportfishing was on a 2 1/2-day trip in the same area returning Sunday, and the 24 anglers on board had 251 yellowfin, 116 yellowtail, 100 skipjack, six dorado, and one bluefin tuna.
The weather has been a factor at mid-week with winds on the offshore grounds and throughout the Channel Islands problematic this week, especially for the Orange and Los Angeles county boats (the Thunderbird, Tornado, Freedom, and El Dorado to name the boats still making tuna runs) and they have had to pull back into Clemente or Catalina to dodge the weather.
HALF- AND THREE-QUARTER DAY UPDATE: The tuna and dorado have seemed to move out of nearshore waters, forcing the half- and three-quarter day fleet all along the coast to fish more traditional fare. With the exception of some spotty fishing for the a few yellowtail and dorado for the San Diego to Dana Point boats, most of the Los Angeles and Orange county boats are focusing on the very good bass, bonito, and barracuda action, along with getting into the rockfish. There are also still schools of yellowtail, but in far smaller numbers. The Channel Islands is also still an incredible mish-mash of warm water and cool water species.
Before the winds became unbearable, the Gentleman out of Channel Islands Sportfishing in Oxnard was on a three-quarter day trip Monday with 20 anglers and they had full, five-fish limits on the calico bass, along with 40 bonito, 10 rockfish, four whitefish, two yellowtail, a sheephead, and a bullet tuna. On Tuesday, there were 34 anglers on this trip and they landed 136 bontio, 120 calicos, 12 rockfish, five yellowtail, three sheephead, and one barracuda. The Redondo Special on a half-day trip out of Redondo Sportfishing Wednesday had 17 anglers who landed 49 yellowtail and 20 keeper calico bass.
IS THE EXOTIC SEASON FINALLY OVER?: The downturn in local fishing for the half- and three-quarter day boats and the action at Catalina has anglers asking if the exotic season is mostly over. The reality is that is may be far from over. The volume of marlin, but especially wahoo, in local waters remains high, and most skippers are suggesting these two top tier predators have simply run a lot of the yellowtail, yellowfin, and dorado off the local spots. Divers off Catalina have reports huge schools of up to 100 wahoo marauding the yellowtail areas around the island.
The wahoo bite continues to marvel anglers with from five to 20 reported most days and more on weekend days. The marlin fishing is still excellent for giant fish normally not seen here.
Just because the local bite has gone through a downturn in the past week, doesn't point to an end to this season. In fact there are indicators that many of the exotics are still north of us. There was a wide open yellowfin tuna bite off Avila Beach in recent days, bluefin tuna are showing from Morro Bay and all the way up into Oregon waters, and albacore are showing in Alaskan waters. The most incredible report of the week was a wide open yellowtail bite off Westport, Oregon. The anglers getting this fish weren't sure what they were, some thinking they were yellowfin, because they had never seen either species in those waters before.
LOBSTER UPDATE: The full moon — and now winds — have made the lobster fishing tougher this past week, but most near-shore sportboats have been averaging about one legal bug per angler. Private boaters have been doing much better, especially those focusing on deeper water spots. All hoop-netters are reporting 10 to one or higher rations of sub-legal lobster to legal bugs, which is a good sign.
INSTRUCTIONAL CHARTERS: The staff of 976-TUNA is hosting instructional charters throughout the season, offering advice to beginning or veteran anglers and on-the-water teaching of techniques for different saltwater species. These trips are tentatively over for the season, but with the incredible action other trips may be scheduled. Check 976-TUNA.com or call 562-352-0012 for details.

Arrivals surpass 600,000 in FY18
Tag: China, Japan, South Korea, travel
Arrivals to the islands of Saipan, Tinian, and Rota fell 14 percent to 43,924 visitors in September 2018, compared to 50,848 visitors received in September 2017.
According to the Marianas Visitors Authority, visitor arrivals for 2018 ending in September were 7-percent lower than fiscal year 2017 at 607,593 total visitors.
"For the last six years, the Marianas has experienced steady growth in arrivals, including several years of double-digit growth from Korea and China," said MVA managing director Christopher A. Concepcion. "This year has seen the stabilization of Korea after some fierce competition among low-cost carriers the last few years, and it has also been an extremely challenging one due to the cessation of direct flights from Japan. Basically, arrivals rates now are about the same year as they were at the beginning of 2017."
Arrivals from China increased 5 percent compared to September 2017 to 18,887 visitors. With 17 regular charter flights to the Marianas each week, China also marked 3-percent growth for the fiscal year at 236,577 visitors, retaining its position as the second largest source market of the destination. In September the MVA launched various marketing programs and activities in the China market, including ShapeGirl kickoff event in Hangzhou, video and underground advertising, Qujing Ironman 70.3 promotions, and Hong Kong Sports Expo, targeting a more specific audience in select regional markets. From mainland China, direct flight service to the Marianas is available from Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou. HK Express and Hong Kong Airlines also provide service from Hong Kong.
Arrivals from Korea dropped 13 percent to 22,339 visitors in September, although the country is the top-performing source market for the destination. Largely due to fewer flights from both Seoul-Incheon and Busan compared to the previous year, arrivals from Korea fell 11 percent in fiscal year 2018 to 295,260 visitors. Targeted marketing by MVA's Korea representative office is expected to continue stabilizing arrivals from Korea.
Following a temporary boost with 28 summer charter flights, arrivals from Japan fell 89 percent in September to 449 visitors and dropped 25 percent on the year to 39,238 total arrivals. Until Skymark Airlines launches its anticipated daily flights from Japan in 2019, the MVA is aggressively promoting travel to Saipan from Japan via Seoul with enhanced marketing and new travel packages offered by major travel agencies, including JTB, H.I.S., and KNT. In addition, a new promotion with Expedia to run from Nov. 1 to Dec. 12 will promote travel to the Marianas via Seoul-Incheon and Guam, targeting FIT customers who make their own travel bookings.
"Japan remains a vital part of our market diversification strategy. Our focus is to maintain our industry relationships, maintain presence of mind in the travelling public in Japan, and pursue charter flight opportunities until direct flights resume next year," said Concepcion.
"At the same time, it is imperative to retain access to visitors from China under federal parole authority. We absolutely cannot afford to lose access to that market to have a healthy tourism economy. We also hope to see successful negotiations that will allow major hotels on public land to remain in business, allowing continued revenue for the government and new investments to upgrade the quality of our destination. On top of all of this, we are aggressively trying to develop the Taiwan market and are on the verge of securing direct charters from Taipei in the coming months. This will be a welcome addition to our tourism portfolio in the Marianas."
Economic highlights
Only 3,000 new jobs were created in August in South Korea, repeating the dismal performance of the previous month and resulting in unemployment levels being over 1 million for eight months running, according to Statistics Korea. It is the longest period of high unemployment since the 1997 Asian financial crisis. However, a government spokesman, Kim Eui-kyeom, claimed the jobs crisis was simply "growing pains in the process of economic reform." The average USD/won exchange rate in September was 1119.65 won, a slight decrease from the previous rate of 1122.02 won in August.
In August 2018, the nationwide consumer price index in China increased by 2.3 percent compared to the previous year. The outbound travel market is anticipated to maintain double-digit growth throughout the year.
Japan's consumer price inflation rose to 1.3 percent year-on-year in August 2018 from 0.9 percent in the previous month and above market consensus of 1.1 percent. It was the highest rate since February. The number of Japanese overseas travelers was up 7.7 percent year on year, reaching 2,033,400 in August 2018 (preliminary figures). (MVA)

Cutaway Photos
Movie Info
Vic Cooper (Stephen Baldwin) is an undercover agent with U.S. Customs who is dedicated to his job, but has a bad habit of getting too close to his adversaries for his own good. Back on the force after a suspension, Cooper is assigned to infiltrate a group of nomadic sky-diving enthusiasts led by Red Line (Tom Berenger), who are believed to be smuggling drugs to support their lifestyle. Red Line and the other members of his group call themselves "cut aways" -- people who have cut their ties with conventional society to feed their appetite for the adrenaline rush of sky-diving full time. Cooper impresses Red Line and his second-in-command, Turbo (Dennis Rodman), with his sky-diving skills, and he's soon invited to join the group. But true to form, as Cooper develops a closer friendship with Red Line, he finds it harder to report his wrongdoings, and Cooper doesn't do himself any more favors when he becomes romantically involved with Star (Maxine Bahns), a beautiful female diver. Cutaway also features Casper Van Dien as Red Line's nemesis Delmira.

(businesspress24) - Springworks Connected Car platform SPARK launches with first customer, Telia Company, enabling the operator to deliver subscription-based connected car services to car owners in Sweden
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN Wednesday 23 November 2016 Springworks AB has announced that its cloud-based Connected Car platform SPARK, for mobile operators and service providers in the automotive industry, has gone live with Nordic and Baltics mobile network operator, Telia Company. The platform allows Telia Company and its automotive Service Provider partners to launch a host of new subscription-based connected car services for drivers in Sweden. Car services will include amongst others: 4G, in-car Wi-Fi, service warning alerts, parking information and warnings, tyre change notifications, eco driving features, insurance services, tampering alarm and dashboard data.
Springworks is currently focusing on the large European car market of 258 million cars. By 2020, the Springworks SPARK platform will have enabled mobile operators to monetise a large portion of the untapped international connected car ecosystem. New legislative requirements on automatic emergency reporting are driving this market. From April 1, 2018, all new passenger cars in Europe will need to be fitted with a modem that can send a crash alert to emergency services.
The white label service will go beyond basic connectivity, allowing mobile operators to lead the connected car ecosystem of insurance companies, parking services, fleet management companies and car repair businesses. This enables operators to deliver a range of smart services to owners of new and old cars, using a plug in On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) dongle and app or API. The end-user plugs this telematics unit into the cars standard OBD socket, which then connects the car through the operator network to aggregated services via the cloud.
Operators understand the opportunity of connecting cars from several perspectives, mainly Usage Base Insurance, Wi-Fi, fleet management and providing car makers with connectivity, commented Erik Ramberg, CEO of Springworks. As a white label solution, it enables operators to master the national connected car ecosystem as well as implement and monetise new digital strategies with service providers by selling them smart data.
Connecting cars makes perfect sense from a business perspective with stakeholders ranging from insurance companies, car repair shops, fleet managers to roadside assistance companies, commented Hans Dahlberg, Vice President, Division X (IOT) from Telia Company. Insurance companies in certain regions have already shown that telematics systems can reduce claims expenditure by up to 30% whilst repair shops can save time for both themselves and their customers by doing a remote diagnosis before the car arrives. By adding SPARK to our connected car capabilities, Telia has a very attractive and unique platform to build offerings for both our service partners and millions of customers and thereby improve car ownership.
Springworks offers its connected car solution as a white label Software-as-a-Service platform to mobile operators charging an activation fee and monthly fee per active user. The enterprise grade platform includes APIs for onboarding and integrating multiple service providers.

Wealth Structuring Beyond Boundaries
Date: Thursday 26 September 2013

Brevard is good for hikes
There are environmental gems accessible through hikes throughout Brevard County, including a "rail trail" being built in Titusville.
The problem is finding them.
To help that situation, county officials are developing the Pathways Program which will result in an interactive online map by the end of 2016.
"Most people don't think we have much. It's not that it's not there, you just can't find it. It's very spread out. People only know what's in their own back yard,'' said Leigh Holt, multi-modal program manager for the Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization.
The overall goal of Pathways is to promote physical activity while encouraging non-motorized transportation, she said.
"The Pathways project is about offering alternative modes of transportation. We start with walking and bicycling but here tourism is so important that we always want to also include our tourist destinations and waterways," she said.
The effort began with mapping all the sidewalks and gaps and existing and proposed bike trails. Officials also gathered information from all the cities and Brevard County, including officials with the Environmentally Endangered Lands program, she said.
"We spent a lot of time gathering information about what people would want to see and what would make sense for this community but it's a very technical document. We really felt like the next step was a user friendly map," she said.
Bids are out with the goal to have it up by late 2016.
"The exciting thing is the desire to have this, the number of people who are excited for this to happen, and the different ways people think it will be used," she said.
The rail trail in Titusville will be part of a 44-mile continuous trail heading north from Brevard County and will be part of a network of connecting trails, she said.
"We're going to have some really amazing opportunities. We're going to have a trail where you can see a space center, a wildlife refuge and a zoo and they'll be able to go right from Pineda all the way out to the beach," Holt said.
Top Trails in Brevard County
- Allan Cruickshank Sanctuary, Rockledge, one-mile nature trial in the 140-acre sanctuary of pine flatwoods habitat.
- Coconut Point Sanctuary, Melbourne Beach, one-mile loop traversing six different habitats.
- Enchanted Forest Sanctuary, Titusville, several miles of hiking trails through five basic habitat types.
- Erna Nixon Park, Melbourne, a half-mile of elevated boardwalk.
- Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Titusville, the five-mile Cruickshank Trail loop, the two-mile Palm Hammock Trail, the 0.7-mile Oak Hammock Trail and the 0.4-mile boardwalk at the visitor's center.
- Pine Island Conservation Area, Merritt Island, 2.5 miles of trails in the North and South Loops along the Indian River Lagoon.
- Maritime Hammock Sanctuary, Melbourne Beach, 2.5-mile loop along the Indian River Lagoon.
- Malabar Scrub Sanctuary, Malabar, trail system showing wetland and upland habitats.
- Turkey Creek Sanctuary, Palm Bay, 1.6-mile trail leading along boardwalks with shorter loop options available.

Speaking of, the baby step I took today on that project was to take down the bag walls, which I had to do with a sledge hammer, they were so thoroughly glazed together. Next I will build a 2x4 frame to place the arch form on; then I will lift the form up with a pair of jackposts to remove the weight of the arch from the walls. Taking down the bag walls was a small step, but the day was not wasted; we devoted most of it to gardening - got our raised beds full of compost, bought some hot pepper seedlings, and watered a new patch of lawn.

Detroit police seek unknown driver in fatal hit and run
DETROIT – Police are seeking the public's assistance in identifying and locating an unknown driver wanted in connection with a fatal hit-and-run incident that occurred on the city's west side.
According to authorities, on Dec. 30 at approximately 7:45 p.m. near Tireman Avenue and Terry Street, an unknown driver traveling westbound on Tireman Avenue in a white four-door sedan struck a 63-year-old man as he was walking in the street. The driver then continued driving, police said.
Police believe the car could potentially be a 2008-2012 Chevrolet Malibu. The vehicle will have front-end damage from the collision.
Anyone who recognizes the vehicle or has any information pertaining to the incident is asked to call the Detroit police at 313-596-2280 or Crime Stoppers at 800-773-2587.

As I grow older, my feet get colder. Every winter I wish I had radiant floors. I first encountered a radiant floor kitchen in Washington State where friends had rehabbed a Victorian home. They used a hydronic tubing heating system, which is usually too pricey for most homeowners. It can cost more than putting in an entirely new boiler and forced air system. But the floor was toasty and muffled the shock of walking across the floor to make morning coffee.
Today, you can install an electric radiant floor heating system for your kitchen or bathroom floor for under $500--depending on square footage. I discovered two kinds of electric radiant heating systems with a wide range in costs for materials and labor. Both have gained in popularity over the last decade.
Some systems consist of cables that are wrapped with insulation and installed directly into concrete or gypsum sections that are embedded into your floor. These can be the more expensive choices because you need a sturdy sub-floor to handle the weight of the tiling.
Installing Radiant Floor Matting The other option is installing radiant mats that have cables woven directly into them. The mats are installed directly below your tiles or onto the sub-floor and covered with pad and carpet. The radiant mats come in a variety of sizes, are powered by 20 volts and 240 volt systems, and require about 12 watts per square foot to operate. A system installed directly beneath a carpet can heat up in an hour or so, while a system in the sub floor can take hours to reach your comfort level.
If you choose to install a radiant mat system in your bathroom, you have the option of covering it with any stone or tile that makes for a good conductor (ceramic, marble, granite, glass, or slate). There are also over-tile radiant heating systems comprised of mats that install directly over your existing tile and allow you to add a new tile floor on top. But you may need to reinforce the sub-floor to handle the weight and problems with deflected heat.
A more-recent radiant system uses mats that install directly beneath carpets and floating floors. Manufacturers claim that the systems are silent and can supplement your heating sufficiently to curb some usage from the forced-air furnace, fighting mold, pollen, and cutting heating costs. The greatest advantage, it seems to me, is that you can install these on your own.

SEGA has published the official trailer for the PlayStation 4 remastered version of Yakuza 3 at the Japanese official Yakuza series channel on YouTube, which you can also watch right above.
Earlier this week, SEGA made a big announcement where they are going to release remasters of Yakuza 3, 4, and 5 for PlayStation 4. Yakuza 3 will be released first, while remasters of 4 and 5 are still in the works and will follow in order at a later time. With Yakuza 0, 1 Kiwami, 2 Kiwami, and Yakuza 6: The Song of Life available, the whole mainline Yakuza series will be eventually playable on the PS4.
Unlike the Kiwami remakes of the first and second Yakuza, the PS4 remaster of Yakuza 3 will have pretty much the same game features as the original PS3 release. However, the above trailer also confirms that something new will be added to this remaster in two new cabaret hostesses Yui and Kana.
You can read our review on the original PS3 release of Yakuza 3 to see why you need to look forward to the PS4 remaster.
Yakuza 3 is an astounding success in bringing the Japanese culture over in a great package of emotions and raw combat. Everything from the presentation to the combat is well done in this fight to the death. You can easily spend 13+ hours on the story alone without even diving into the mini games, battle arena, and side missions. Yakuza 3 will pull you into the fight and won't let you out until you're black and blue from head to toe. If you are ready for a taste of Japan and aren't afraid of a little action, this is the game you need to pick up.
The PlayStation 4 remaster of Yakuza 3 will be released in Japan on August 9, 2018. After that, SEGA is also planning to release the remaining mainline Yakuza games on PS4 as well, with Yakuza 4 slated for a Fall 2018 release, and Yakuza 5 in Spring 2019. As of this writing, there's still no information yet on when will these remasters be released in the West though.

Gazzaniga emotional after impressive Tottenham debut
Goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga admitted his impressive debut for Tottenham in Sunday's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace left him feeling emotional.
The Argentine only found out on Saturday that he would make his first start for the club in place of the injured Hugo Lloris and Michel Vorm – his first Premier League start since December 2015, during his time at Southampton.
Spurs 13/8 to triumph in the North London Derby
Editors' Picks
The 25-year-old overcame a rocky opening to deliver a fine performance, making three excellent saves to keep the Eagles at bay.
"Every time you play for the first time at a club it's very important and emotional too," he told BT Sport .
"[I was] nervous just in the beginning, like the first 30 seconds, and then after that you get the atmosphere and team-mates help you so it's fantastic from them also.
"Last night I saw Michel wasn't good so I prepared and the goalkeeper coach told me I would play so I was ready."
60 - Gazzaniga does well again as he keeps out Milivojevic's header at the back post. Good spell for the visitors.— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) November 5, 2017
#THFC 0-0 #CPFC pic.twitter.com/KVQoc3SKR8
Gazzaniga's manager, Mauricio Pochettino, was not surprised by his summer recruit's fine performance, telling BT: "I think he was fantastic but it's not a surprise.
"We had him in Southampton and he played with us in the Premier League. When there was the possibility to sign here, there was no doubt about his quality.
"We have three [goalkeepers] plus younger guys with a lot of potential, so we have very good [options to] protect our goal."
Spurs' only real moment of attacking quality was enough to seal all three points, Son Heung-min slamming home his 20th Premier League goal to become the top-scoring Asian player in the competition's history, surpassing his South Korean compatriot Park Ji-sung.
Speaking to BT Sport, Son felt that his side should have won by a more handsome scoreline.
"They were a difficult opponent and not easy to play, it's always a big game, every team is difficult but it was a deserved win and we should have scored more goals," he explained.

Chandra Greer, '90, shares why she loves sneakers with a dress, Todd Rundgren, and the Nebraska State Capitol Building.
- By October 10, 2015
- Entrepreneurship
In selecting exquisite paper products from calendars to calling cards, the GREERChicago founder often is credited for her good design taste. In her Old Town stationery shop and on her website, Greer sells an eclectic collection of paper goods and writing instruments, as well as an iPhone-shaped cookie cutter and a Kate Spade dots-and-stripes eraser set. We asked her what's capturing her original eye as the school year notebook season gets under way.
Style: Golden Goose sneakers
I wear sneakers with just about everything—suits, dresses, and skirts. They're easy, casual, and stylish. Plus, I have two kids and run a retail store, so I'm on my feet a lot. These, from Italy, have a particularly graceful, bohemian, beat-up luxury that elevates sneakers to an art form.
Travel: Namibia
I was last in Namibia in the spring of 2014, and it's an experience I will treasure always. This is a land of extraordinary physical contrasts—other-planet-like sand dunes, sweeping coastal views, and low, lush mountains. The Himba women there, in the way they coat their hair and skin with a paste of red ochre, are striking and beautiful.
Art: Henry Darger
Henry Darger was the ultimate outsider artist, iconoclastic and super private. I first became aware of him because he lived in a boardinghouse across the street from where I used to live in Chicago. When he died, in the early '70s, his landlord found a bunch of huge murals and a giant illustrated book. He did all of his artwork just for himself, and now it's extremely valuable. I'm really drawn to that internal expression because it's pure. His unintended genius makes me think about the creativity that exists in each of us.
Music: Todd Rundgren's Something/Anything?
I first heard this when I was in college at the University of Michigan, living a pseudo-hippieish life. I loved it because I thought it was romantic and expansive, in terms of genre and execution. Most of the album was recorded in the studio, with Rundgren playing all of the instruments and singing all of the vocals. Oh, and he also produced the album. I admire not only his creativity and talent, but also his ambition.
"For 20 years, Serena has been quietly building absolute domination-level status in tennis."
Sports: Serena Williams
For 20 years, Serena has been quietly building absolute domination—level status in tennis. At 34, she doesn't appear to be slowing down, winning her sixth Wimbledon championship this summer. I think a cult of personality sometimes builds around athletes of this caliber, and I don't see that with her. She just goes out there and gets it done.
Architecture: The Nebraska State Capitol Building
I travel a lot, and this building in Lincoln, Nebraska, is one of the most spectacular I've ever seen—a piece of heaven. Every square inch has something beautiful about it, with glorious, detailed, and iconographic art deco interior design and craftsmanship. While it respectfully honors the immediate environment and culture, including Native American influences, it goes beyond the prairie environment to encompass inspirations from a wide variety of global human thought and experience.
We'd love to hear your Booth memories, stories, connections...everything.

What's a Good Budget for SEO?
Budgeting for your search engine optimization (SEO) can be difficult, especially if your business is new to Internet marketing. Unfortunately, there isn't one magic number that you can set aside to pay for your SEO — after all, SEO is constantly changing, and that means you have to keep up with those changes.
However, before you throw your hands in the air in frustration, there are some easy ways to determine how much to spend on SEO. You just have to take it step by step. You can also contact us online or call 888-601-5359 today to speak with one of our experts!
Step One: What strategies work for your needs?
Your SEO budget can include money for dozens of different strategies, including:
- Website creation
- Website maintenance
- Website updates
- Landing page creation
- Blog creation
- Social media marketing
- Multimedia
- Link building
- Pay-per-click ad campaigns
Some of these, such as website creation, are one-time solutions that are built to last for a while. Others are ongoing SEO efforts, such as link building, social media marketing, and website maintenance.
One-time costs will probably involve a significant investment, while ongoing processes will probably be more spread out. However, that money is well spent if you work with a reputable web development provider. After all, the point of SEO is to generate sales leads and convert site visitors into paying customers to build your revenue.
Step Two: What can you do in-house?
Now that you've determined the strategies you want to use, you need to discover if you can handle any of them in-house. For example, your marketing team may be able to keep up with some strategies like a PPC campaign. Though they'll probably be starting from scratch, it could still cost less initially than other possibilities.
Of course, there could also be some strategies that your business doesn't have the time to implement, like website maintenance. For those, it's best to choose an outside agency that can help you achieve your goals. But before you contact an agency, make sure your budget is in order.
Step Three: What can your budget handle?
You probably have a marketing budget already set aside, but if it's already maxed out, you'll need to add to it. SEO services are essential to successful businesses.
And make no mistake—your competitors aren't sitting by and waiting for miracles. They're taking advantage of SEO every day. If you don't keep up, they'll leave you behind.
Realistically, you don't want to reduce your business to just "getting by." You can make a small initial investment in SEO to get started and continue from there. In fact, most SEO providers will offer tiered pricing so you can find the right amount for your business.

Bill Craig WebFX President
Step Four: Interview SEO agencies
With your budget finalized and your SEO strategies laid out, it's time to evaluate and interview potential SEO providers. Look for agencies with a proven track record and a strong customer base. Not only should their websites showcase their abilities, but they should make you feel confident that they understand SEO inside and out.
If you have trusted mentors inside or outside your industry, ask around and see which SEO companies they prefer. Then, schedule some telephone or face-to-face interviews to start the process. And ask questions — this is your business's livelihood we're talking about, so you should know all the facts before making a final decision.
Step Five: Evaluate
After launching your SEO campaigns, it's time to focus on evaluation. While your SEO provider will supply you with regular reports, it's up to you to look through the reports and ask questions. Stay on top of your SEO, but don't worry about day-to-day fluctuations. SEO is about the long-term gains, so check that you're steadily growing over long periods of time instead of short bursts.
Over time, you may find that your successful SEO campaigns lead you to a place where you can spend more money on new strategies. At that point, you can always increase your budget accordingly, knowing that it's a wise decision that will pay you back.

About 75 UNC workers – including some groundskeepers, housekeepers, mail clerks and other employees who currently earn less than $18,312 a year – soon could receive pay raises to bring them above the federal poverty line.
Approximately 50 of these workers, who are state-paid employees, are in line for part of $4.5 million authorized by Gov. Mike Easley '72, who announced in January that the money would be used to raise the wages of the lowest-paid state workers in North Carolina.
The money is meant to secure a living wage for state workers, bringing their salaries to at least $18,312 a year. That amount is 120 percent of the poverty level for a family of three, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The other employees are not state-paid, but Laurie Charest '75, associate vice chancellor for human resources, said that funding would come from "other means" to boost their pay. Charest said she didn't know exactly what the source would be.
In 2002, the lowest salary of a permanent full-time UNC worker was $17,692, according to the Office of Human Resources. No employee earns less than $15,260, the federal poverty guideline for a family of three. But in 2002, eight employees earned less than $18,400, the poverty guideline for a family of four.

Reports about the possible departure of Mark Harmon from NCIS Season 15 have been making rounds online for quite some time already. Speculations suggest that the 66-year-old American actor's frail health condition might force him to quit the popular CBS series. However, new reports suggest that Harmon is not leaving the show, but his role could totally change.
CarterMatt previously shared that the veteran star would have lesser field work this installment. The publication has debunked the claims that Mark Harmon is leaving the show after fifteen seasons. Aside from the fact that the Burbank-native is one of the foundations of the show, the actor is still under a contract, which means that he cannot just leave NCIS Season 15 on his most convenient time.
The news outlet has also explained that NCIS Season 15 is nowhere near cancellation despite the endless rumors. It even described the speculations "disturbing and wrong" as there is not enough evidence to prove that these are true.
However, CarterMatt has opened the possibility of Mark Harmon taking a new role behind the cameras because of his allegedly declining health. An unnamed source even told Radar Online that the actor is already considering NCIS Season 15 as his last. The same tipster said Harmon has been looking frail and weak lately.
"Mark talked it over with his wife, [Pam Dawber], and vowed to seriously consider making next season his last. He seems to have a lot less energy. When he isn't working, he spends much of the time holed up inside his house. It's very unusual for him. He's always been so active and athletic."
While these reports could possibly be true, it is important to note that neither CBS nor Mark Harmon has confirmed anything as of yet. Hence, avid viewers of the NCIS Season 15 should take these speculations lightly until everything is proven true and correct.

Meanwhile, spoilers suggest that special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) would return to action in the imminent NCIS Season 15 Episode 5 as Clayton Reeves (Duane Henry) asks for his help. The MI6 Officer will witness the abduction of his close pal in the upcoming "Fake It 'Til You Make It" episode. Along with the NCIS team, agent Gibbs would try to determine the identity of the kidnapper.

However, the team would discover that the abductor has already escaped. Leroy Jethro Gibbs is also said to find out that the suspect is selling confidential military information to an unidentified bargain hunter. NCIS Season 15 Episode 5 is set to air on Tuesday, Oct. 24, at 8 p.m. EDT on CBS Channel. Stay tuned for more spoilers, news, and updates!

Happy Holidays!
wait.....what? Where is this? Regular broadcast TV, streaming, something else?But a way more important set of questions, does daglob know about this, and what does he think about it?
Yep, he was a boss in the very first Castlevania on the NES, and appeared in several other installments including Dawn of Sorrow (in which, according to the Castlevania wiki, he appears "ever so rarely").
Yes,but the later adaptations,like we said before...anyway,point is that Robotman wasnt wrong.He knows his Universal monsters,he went up against the Mummy.Somebody had to say it.
So I know I'm just continuing in the utter derailment this topic has become for the moment, but this conversation led me to try and find the episode where Linkara was explaining his position on it (I found the clip, but not the episode it was from)
but without re-reading the book I don't know whether that made its way into the story or if that's just a "writer intent vs actual source" thing, aka a "JK Rowling".

Penn Faculty Journal is dedicated to sharing the tutorial improvement, goals, and achievements of the College's students, alumni, college, and employees with each other and with the larger neighborhood. Teenagers can even develop into heavily hooked on the internet, which may often lead them into despair, with little or no face-to face time with others. There's undoubtedly a dark facet," says bioethicist Linda MacDonald Glenn, however I do think humanity-plus is inevitable. In latest instances, know-how has develop into synonymous with info know-how, as hardly any other technological growth of the previous would have impacted all spectrum of business as data technology has impacted. The Society Will Honor Pioneers from Throughout the Motion-Imaging Business. A genetic mutation in a metabolism-regulating hormone supplies this survival benefit, particularly for infants, by modulating the excess vitality that is produced when physique temperature rises. The Accenture Know-how Imaginative and prescient 2016 investigates 5 tendencies behind a 'people-first' strategy: Intelligent automation, liquid workforces, the platform economic system, predictable disruption and digital belief. It predicts significant technological and political modifications in the mid-time period future, together with possible technological singularity.]]>

Following a conversation me,meta and zyglrox had God knows how much time ago in Skypehaus, I have decided start working on a randomizer for PMD: Red, Blue, Darkness, Time and Sky. Obviously enough, it is going to take a long time and I just wanted to make this thread so I can show how it's doing. Now, I'm sure you're DYING to know what features it could have, here's what I've got planned:

Listen to Today's Audio Goodie
(Have the Goodie read to you!)
Religious people cannot tolerate the breaking of their regulations. Any violation of their religious regulations will stir up persecution. When Jesus broke the Sabbath, the Jewish religionists persecuted Him and even sought to kill Him. Eventually, religion succeeded in sentencing Jesus to death. In the book of Acts we see that the situation was the same regarding the persecution of the apostles.
In like manner, a great many martyrs have suffered persecution at the hand of religion. Now it is our turn to undergo this persecution, this suffering for the building up of the Body of Christ.
