What Is Fastened Wireless Broadband Internet Entry?
Wi-fi broadband is expertise that provides high-velocity wi-fi Internet entry or laptop networking entry over a wide area. The MAC tackle is an alphanumeric string that's unique on each wi-fi adapter. A cell broadband connection is often restricted to at least one gadget at a time, so it is not supreme if a number of customers want to share a connection. They are going to nonetheless be able to talk throughout the community, but not with the web. There are modems out there that can use the mobile broadband signal to create a wi-fi network but a number of customers will end in a slower obtain pace.
This may prevent gadgets that are too distant from accessing your wi-fi router. There are no 'wireless broadband suppliers', you would still signal up to a regular broadband package deal with an Internet Service Supplier (ISP) and easily join a wireless router to your modem. By now I believe you'll know what to look for and the way to pick up the perfect dwelling wi-fi router from amongst the highest wi-fi routers out there in the market.
This 300 Mbps Medialink Wireless-N router is the newer model of the previous finest vendor at one hundred fifty Mbps Medialink Wi-fi-N router with many improvements on it. A wireless router should come with a password and you need to add one if there isn't one. As cell broadband connects over the mobile phone towers, prospects can take their web connection outdoors the home and use it anywhere there's a signal.
For those who nonetheless haven't selected which router to buy earlier because you did not have the total picture then, you can at all times scroll back once more and make your choice now. By changing some of the settings of the wi-fi router, you can unlock additional performance. Providers who will supply you with a wireless router will state as a lot on their product pages.
However overspending will be a waste of money as their wireless router is not optimally used. So long as you stay within vary of the router — typically around 30 metres — then you'll be able to join, whether you are in the lounge, bed room and even the garden. Cellular broadband does not require a cellphone line, so it's superb for individuals who choose to use their cellular to make calls.

Fly! Tenma's Keshin!! (
The episode starts with Yoshimine scoring a goal with Flying Fish.Then Raimon trying to score a goal with Kurama´s hissatsu, Sidewinder but fails due to Fukami's hissatsu, Hydro Anchor. In a chain of passes the ball finally gets to Yoshimine, but Tenma stops him with his new technique Spiral Draw and passes to Tsurugi so that he can score a goal with his Death Drop. Tsurugi defeated the keeper and scored a goal for Raimon. Then Namikawa reminds Kaiou that all of them are SEEDs and to have a SEED's pride and to crush Raimon, so Kaiou begins to assault Raimon with their Keshin and Hissatsu shoot thus scoring a goal with Namikawa's keshin, Kaiou Poseidon, and then again with Yoshimine´s Flying Fish. The first half ends, Raimon was behind by 3 points.
At the halftime break Endou gives orders that Tenma will become the goalkeeper and Tsurugi suspects what he is going to do while everyone else in the team is shocked.
At the beginning of the second half Kaiou's still in possession of the ball. They manages to break Raimon´s defense and Wanda shoots against the goal with his keshin, Onsoku no Varius, and Tenma is scared, but Tsurugi encourages him and manages to bring his Keshin out, stopping the goal.
Then, Endou switches back Sangoku to the goal and Raimon begins to change the game by scoring goals to goals, even Hayami has created a new hissatsu for himself: Zeroyon. Kaiou's members are very surprised. Namikawa tells them that they´re SEEDs and that no one can beat them and passes to Wanda so he shoots again, but this time Sangoku stops it with his new hissatsu, Fence of Gaia. He passes to Tenma who manages to beat Kaiou Poseidon and then Seiei Hei Pawn W with his Keshin, Majin Pegasus. Finally, he passes to Shinsuke, and Shinsuke uses Buttobi Jump to score the final goal.

A Profile of Highly Skilled Mexican Immigrants in Texas and the United States
Education levels are on the rise among Mexican immigrants, who now comprise the fourth largest group of college-educated immigrants in the United States, after those from India, China, and the Philippines. The number of Mexican immigrants with a bachelor's degree or higher grew from 269,000 in 2000 to 678,000 in 2017—an increase that is primarily explained by higher college attainment among recent arrivals. Nearly one in six Mexicans arriving between 2013-17 had a college degree, compared to slightly more than one in 20 for those entering during the 1996-2000 period.
This fact sheet offers a profile of degree-holding Mexicans in Texas, which is home to 27 percent of all such immigrants nationwide, and in the Texas metropolitan areas with the most college-educated Mexican immigrants (Houston, Dallas, El Paso, McAllen, and San Antonio). Among other key characteristics, the fact sheet breaks these populations down by legal status, age, English proficiency, poverty levels, and industries of employment.
Key findings of this analysis include:
- Houston and Dallas are home to the largest numbers of college-educated Mexican immigrants in Texas, but highly skilled individuals made up larger shares of Mexicans in San Antonio, McAllen, and El Paso—metro areas closer to the U.S.-Mexico border.
- Naturalized citizens made up the largest share of Mexican college graduates, but unauthorized immigrants and green-card holders are also well represented. Temporary-visa holders were a much smaller share of the total population, though they were the group most likely to hold a degree.
- Top industries of employment for college-educated Mexicans in Texas were a mix of more and less skilled work, raising questions about underemployment and what can be done to make the most of these immigrants' potential contributions to the state and U.S. economies.

Summer of 2017 has almost come to an end, but it doesn't mean that the smartphone market doesn't have any more exciting news for us in store. Both Tecno and Infinix have just released two of the hottest smartphones of the season.
Infinix Hot 5 and Tecno Spark have a lot in common, but if you're shopping for a new smartphone, you can only choose one. Check out the top features of the two models and make the right choice!
Shop for the latest phones on Jiji
1. Tecno Spark specs
Spark is the newest member of the Tecno phones family. The latest device is aimed at buyers on a budget who are quite passionate about photography. Camera specs in the Tecno Spark phone have a lot in common with the Camon CX, another leading photography smartphone. Here is what Tecno Spark has inside:
- 1.3GHz octa-core CPU
- 1GB of RAM
- 5.5-inch display
- 16GB of internal storage + 32GB microSD expansion capabilities
- 13MP primary camera
- 5MP front camera
- Front and back flash
- Battery capacity: 3000mAh
Tecno Spark is one of the most affordable smartphones on offer today, but, luckily, the low price didn't make its appearance or specs any less attractive. The device comes in a metal design and four colors: black, gold, blue, and red.
The display and performance of the new Tecno phone promise an enjoyable use: the 5.5-inch screen will let you enjoy all of your favorite media, while the quick performance will allow you to run even the most demanding apps.
Of course, the strongest point of the newest Tecno device is its two flash-equipped cameras that make it super easy to take masterpiece photos even in low light setting. The built-in storage of 16GB may not be enough to store your photos after a few months of use, but this problem can be easily solved with a microSD card.

2. Infinix Hot 5 specs
Infinix phones always make a splash in the news whenever there's a new release, and the new Infinix phone 2017 is no exception. Infinix Hot 5 is another budget smartphone that shares many features with the Tecno Spark, but at the same time, it has a unique set of specs. Here they are:
- 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek chipset
- 2GB of RAM
- 5.5-inch display
- 16GB of internal storage + 128GB microSD expansion capabilities
- 8MP primary camera
- 5MP front camera
- Battery capacity: 4000mAh + fast charging
If you've spent the last few months looking up the latest Infinix phones and prices, you already know that the Infinix Hot 5 release date is late August. The Hot 5 is a representative of the budget class of smartphones that are not aimed at any particular category of buyers, unlike the Tecno Spark. It comes in a trendy brushed metal body and is available in 5 colors, including pearl white, gold, and the rare grass green.
The Hot 5 sports a 5.5-inch display and average specs for its price range, which means you're guaranteed to get an enjoyable viewing, playing, or working experience thanks to the widescreen resolution and fast performance.
The cameras on the new Infinix phone are pretty much average: they will let you snap a quick photo on the go or a cute selfie, but the lack of a front camera flash and the subpar primary camera are what may possibly bring the quality of the photos down.
3. Which one to choose?
New devices from both Tecno and Infinix are respectable entries in the budget smartphone market. Both of them can be a great choice of an affordable new mobile phone since even the price of the two phones is quite similar – each of them will retail in Nigeria for ₦35,000-45,000, depending on the location.
However, there are some key differences to consider. If you think of yourself as a photography enthusiast, you may find the camera specs of the Infinix Hot 5 not advanced enough, while the photography capabilities of the Tecno Spark are exactly what you need for high-quality photos.
Nevertheless, the Infinix Hot 5 has a major advantage over Tecno Spark. We're talking about its battery capacity: 4000mAh is clearly better than 3000mAh, and the fast charging technology will allow you to use the phone all day long without running for the next power socket.

Holman Bible Dictionary
(uh bihm' eh lehch) Personal name meaning, "My father is king." 1. King of Gerar, who took Sarah for himself, thinking she was Abraham's sister rather than his wife (Genesis 20:1). He restored her to Abraham after a nighttime dream of God. 2. Probably the same as 1, a king who disputed the ownership of a well at Beersheba with Abraham and then made a covenant of peace with him (Genesis 21:22-34). 3. King of Philistines at Gerar related to or identical with 1. Isaac lived under his protection and fearfully passed Rebekah, his wife, off as his sister. Abimelech scolded Isaac and warned his people not to touch Rebekah. A dispute over water wells led to Isaac's leaving but finally to a treaty of peace (Genesis 26:1) at Beersheba. 4. Son of Gideon, the judge of Israel (Judges 8:31). Abimelech seized power after his father's death by murdering his brothers and having himself named king by his relatives at Shechem. This provoked Jotham's famous fable (Judges 9:7-21). God provoked Shechem against Abimelech, who defeated an army under Gaal and then recaptured Shechem. When he tried to repeat his tactics against Thebez, a woman threw a stone down on his head and killed him (Judges 9:23-57). Abimelech's fate served as an illustration Joab used to protect himself from David (2 Samuel 11:21). 5. Priest under David with Zadok (1 Chronicles 18:16), but correct reading of text here is probably Ahimelech as in
2 Samuel 8:17. 6. Person mentioned in title of
Psalms 34:1, which apparently refers to
1 Samuel 21:10-15, where Achish is David's opponent. Abimelech may have been an official title for Philistine kings.

Asia Dispatch Week: Oh No, There Goes Tokyo
Filed Friday, 10/21/2005, 11:48 AM by Kirin Sapporo
Location: Upper West Side, Manhattan
Photo: Kirin Sapporo
Most of you probably know much about Tokyo already; it's like any other big city. Like London or Paris, it has its own distinct culture, yet it shares the same universal stamp of commercialism that you'll find everywhere.
And I'll say it again: we have more to fear from Starbucks than we think.
One thing I noticed is that the Japanese are getting taller. In the past, any time a girl who was 5'7" or taller walked down the street, people would stare with the same kind of amazement and fear that you'd expect if Godzilla were barreling toward them. But nowadays it's not uncommon to see twenty-something guys and girls pushing toward the 5'9", 5'10" range.
Another thing that I noticed is that, in some cases, they're more hip than we are. Some of the people roaming around the streets of Tokyo rock the hipster look better than your average Williamsburg fauxhemian.
Spent a day at Tsukiji, the famous fish market where much of the imported tuna you'll find in sushi restaurants is bought and sold. There are (not surprisingly) many sushi restaurants in the neighborhood, all relatively cheap. I looked for the tiniest, shittiest-looking one I could find, hoping that it would be the most authentic. I ate a full sushi platter at one with buttery toro for less than $15. The knife skills were wanting, but the fish was undeniably fresh off the boat. For the first time, I could safely say that New York is more expensive than Tokyo.
Ate ramen noodles at a truck stop during a side trip up north one day. Best damn noodles I ever ate.
Also felt the earthquake on Wednesday night. Was eating at a restaurant when everything began to sway. For those of you who have never felt an earthquake, it's kind of like hitting turbulence in a plane, but it's a smoother, more side-to-side movement that sort of dies down gradually and comes in waves. It didn't seem like a big deal at the time, but apparently it was above a 6.0 which is considered fairly strong.
So with my eating done, shopping done, sightseeing done, and all the obligatory family visits done, I boarded a plane to head back to New York. The 12 hour flight seemed relatively quick in comparison to my trip to Singapore. I arrived at JFK and immediately reverted back to New Yorker mode, pushing my way through the crowds and complaining about the traffic.
It's good to be home.

Vastadu Naa Raju (Music review), Telugu – Mani Sharma
Hello Everybody opens with music strangely similar to Band Baaja Baaraat's Tarkeebein, but goes on to become a standard, catchy hero-intro song. Padha padha goes massy, and even its hook is stale; much like the pointlessly recycled Sadaymiya. Olla has minimal, interesting techno arrangements, but the tune is awful.

Leonardo DiCaprio finally won himself a sorely deserved Oscar for his work in The Revenant. That being the case, all eyes are on what he will be doing next, and as it turns out, he is going to be heading to court as a result of his work in The Wolf of Wall Street. DiCaprio himself isn't being sued or anything like that, but he is going to have to testify in a lawsuit that has been filed as a result of the movie.
A new report by E! News has informed us that Leonardo DiCaprio has been ordered to testify in a defamation lawsuit that has been filed against Paramount Pictures by Andrew Greene. The $25 million lawsuit is being filed by Greene because he claims that his portrayal in The Wolf of Wall Street by P.J. Byrne was very inaccurate and as a result, has had a series effect on his life. Greene claims that not only did his fiance leave him as a result of the movie, but that his reputation was damaged to the tune of $15 million.
Greene's legal representatives had reportedly tried to depose the 41-year-old DiCaprio prior to his recent court order, but the Oscar winner was quote, "too busy." Busy or not, which he surely is, he doesn't have a choice now and will have to cooperate with the court order. Greene's character, Nicky "Rugrat" Koskoff in the movie, was portrayed as a bit of a goofy guy who wore a hair piece and had serious issues with drugs, alcohol and prostitutes. He claims that is very far from the truth, and apparently since DiCaprio was the star of The Wolf of Wall Street, the court assumes that his deposition will be of some help in the lawsuit.
It may seem peculiar that the plaintiff and his representation would want to drag DiCaprio into the legal battle that has much more to do with real life than it does with anything else, and the defendant's representation thought so too. They had reportedly tried to stop the plaintiff from involving DiCaprio at all, seeing as he didn't write the screenplay and he had little to nothing to do with Byrne's portrayal of the character in the movie. Plus, the movie's director Martin Scorsese and the screenwriter Terence Winter have both already provided testimonies. The court has stepped in though, and DiCaprio will be testifying as well.
Controversy aside, The Wolf of Wall Street was a massive critical and financial success in 2013. It was nominated for several Oscars, and many thought Leo was going to bring home a statue for his role as Jordan Belfort. It managed to bring in nearly $400 million at the global box office as well and did very well on Blu-ray and VOD. Be sure to stay tuned as we will keep you posted on updates involving the case or DiCaprio's involvement.

Top>Research>Studying by Correspondence in Summer
Akio Kondo [Profile]
Akio Kondo
Professor of Labor Law, Faculty of Law, Chuo University
It is going to be another hot and sweltering summer this year.
As first semester classes and examinations wrap up for our regular students, distance-learning students from across Japan come to Western Tokyo, also known as the Tama area.
Learning in the correspondence division primarily takes place by reading assigned textbooks at home and writing reports on designated topics. This is the basic style for distance-learning students to deepen the knowledge, but in order to graduate the students must also earn a certain number of credit hours by taking schooling classes and by passing tests after finishing their classes. Since the Chuo University's buildings are usually used for holding other classes, the Correspondence Division must inevitably give lessens during the summer vacation, when regular classes are not in session. Therefore, many distance-learning students who typically study at home come to Tama Campus from across the country.
It is as if the regular students take a vacation to escape the heat while our distance-learning students congregate in this hot spot to carry on their studies. And they of course work in a variety of jobs back in their hometowns in order to make a living, so the cost of temporarily putting their work and private lives on hold to pay for accommodations and other daily expenses in Tama - in addition to the course fees - is all for the sake of their studies.
Employment practice in Japan are typically based on one's academic record when you join a company, so even if you build on your education after getting hired it will not lead to immediate changes or promotion. Naturally there are the students who are now working part-time and want to use their qualifications to find new work after graduation, as well as those who hope to advance their careers in another line of work. However, the majority study by correspondence and attend the schooling without any prospect of resultant career advancement. The reason they do so is that they have a passion to study in the Faculty of Law at Chuo University and contribute to their self-improvement by engaging in authentic scholarly pursuits.
Only the Faculty of Law is part of the Correspondence Division at Chuo University. Accordingly, while teachers in other faculties take their summer vacation to refresh themselves after working hard during the first semester or to devote themselves to further research, we instructors in the Faculty of Law must inescapably give lectures during the schooling. To be honest, this burden is beyond rigorous and has a tremendous negative effect on our research. However, what motivates the instructors in the Faculty of Law to continue helping our distance-learning students anyway is that compared to the university's regular students, they have a much greater drive and burning desire to study hard and with a single-minded focus in the Faculty of Law, Chuo University. This is because we feel that the basis of university education is the desire of students to learn and of instructors to teach.
Naturally, when we take a closer look, we find that distance-learning students' situations are changing. I was first put in charge of summer schooling classes in the early 1970s, immediately after I left the Doctoral Program of the Graduate School (with credit hours earned). At the time, with the exception of civil servants, it was not allowed for workers to take time off from work to attend the schooling. Others would quit their jobs to take the schooling, find new work afterward and then quit again for the next year's screenings. Some would take on extra work at their company to make up for their time away while taking schooling. Whether the students were civil servants or not, they still had to make tremendous efforts before and after the schooling in order to attend them.
Their desire to study and attend the schooling under such circumstances was extraordinary. For example, if an instructor would arrive a few minutes after the chime signaling the beginning of class or, when at first we had two instructors taking turns teaching a course and the materials they covered overlapped just a little and wasted time, the student objected. Although class start times are still a very sensitive subject for students, their attitude towards learning has become more relaxed in some way. It was not just that I was a young and inexperienced instructor; there was a tangible tension in the classroom in which the students paid considerable attention to the content and quality of my lectures. If taking classes has become more affordable and the class environment has been improved, then it would be ironic if that has led to a looser attitude towards studying.
Major changes in recent years have raised the number of female students while we have seen different topics covered by graduation theses due to other changes in the world today.
Students studying by correspondence write a thesis which must receive a passing grade for them to graduate. Since most students are employed, the majority of thesis topics they select are related to labor law. The makeup of our students and the things that are happening in the world at the time they make their choices heavily influence their topic selections.
Many distance-learning students are civil servants. Until the 1970s, the large majority of topics dealt with the issue of basic labor rights for civil servants (restrictions and deprivation), which was a hot topic at the time. Starting in the late-1970s it was karoshi, which is when an employee dies of overwork (and is a problem that is still not rare but has decreased since). Since the late-1980s, with the enactment and enforcement of equality laws (1986) and the rise in female university students mentioned above, more students have been choosing equal employment issues. Women had rarely written theses on labor law until then, but now they make up the majority of students.
I am in charge of writing textbooks and conducting screening lectures for the correspondence education program in the field of organized labor relations, which falls within my specialty in labor law, but I don't see theses written in this field anymore. Furthermore, I have to deal with the fact that when I have distance-learning students in lectures with experience in labor, they are unfamiliar with matters that I once used to assume they would know about.
This is because true labor union activity has vanished from Japan and labor unions have degenerated into nothing more than ladies-in-waiting at Japanese companies. Meanwhile, the labor environment continues to worsen with problems such as those surrounding temporary workers. However, if each individual worker is not angry about the labor environment and does not have the will to utilize one's own power to tear it down, then the labor environment, and thus Japanese society, will not improve at all. Hence, I believe that if laborers are oppressed, then we cannot revitalize society into an energetic one. This is why I believe that legal work protections for laborers are a basic labor right.
Because of my beliefs, I hope and firmly expect distance-learning students to use the passion they exhibit in the schooling to take what they learn in their studies of organized labor relations law and use it to revitalize their surrounds in various aspects of their lives.
As I fret about the oppressive heat in the classrooms due to the reduced use of air conditioning to conserve power, which is in short supply, I remember the lecture hall in the Surugadai Campus, before the campus was transferred to Tama, where we studied with no air conditioning and icicles in the hallway in winter. Because of global warming we cannot make an easy comparison between then and now, but I think the task before us is to convert our passion for learning into power that will allow us to overcome today's obstacles so that we can acquire knowledge.
Lastly, I sincerely hope that all distance-learning students who attend the schooling stay healthy and safe, achieve the goals you are hoping for, and return to your homes so that you can work to revitalize them.

North Korea's Mansudae: The propaganda factoryPhotos |
Established in 1959, Mansudae Art Studio in Pyongyang, North Korea, is one of the largest centers of art production in the world. Some of the best art graduates from across the country work here under the strict supervision of the Kim Jong-un regime, creating statues, paintings, and ceramic works. Several huge art installations across North Korea extolling the virtues of the regime are actually the handiwork of the Mansuade studio. The center even has an international division, Mansudae Overseas Projects Group, which has a multi-million-dollar business of creating statues, museums, stadiums, and palaces for governments abroad. Here, we take a look at some examples of North Korean propaganda art — both at home and overseas.

The New Rumford Fireplace
By Masonry
The third edition of the Residential Masonry Fireplace and Chimney Handbook as published by the Masonry Institute of America is now available. This in-depth resource should be considered a must-have for those involved in the construction of masonry fireplaces and masonry heaters. This revision includes a new section addressing masonry heaters and a multitude of drawings, diagrams and photos. The New Rumford Fireplace
Taking queues from the traditional Rumford fireplace, members of the Brick Industry Association's (BIA) Fireplace and Chimney Committee have crafted a new masonry fireplace based largely on Rumford's principle of efficiency. The result is a simple, easily constructed brick fireplace that uses minimal bricks and space within a house.
"Our main emphasis was to create a fireplace that was efficient in terms of materials and easy to construct," says Charles Clark, AIA, PE, Director of Engineering Services at BIA.
"Time savings and material savings are really tied in together, because the more material used in the fireplace itself means the more time needed to put those materials into place," he continues. Southern Brick Institute's Bryan Light adds, "I would think the savings in time are somewhere around 1/3."
This article will review the history of the Rumford and the basics on how to construct a BIA Rumford fireplace.
First introduced by Count Rumford in the 1790s, Rumford fireplaces were a means of improving the heating capabilities of their traditional large, bulky ancestors. Prior to Rumford, masonry fireplaces had large, deep fireboxes that were rectangular in shape.
Applying his knowledge of heat to the fireplace, Count Rumford reasoned that the traditional masonry fireplace was not as efficient as it could be because it did not reflect much heat back into the room. His first change to the traditional fireplace of the day was to move the rear firebox wall closer to the front of the fireplace. Then, tinkering with the rectangular plan, he angled the two side walls toward the room so that more heat was radiated back toward the room's occupants. Finally, he rounded the throat of the fireplace to enhance smoke movement up the chimney.
Deemed the "Rumford fireplace," the resulting design greatly improved the amount of heat felt by the occupants of the room. This creation was almost immediately embraced by the populous upon its publication in "Of Chimney Fireplaces" in 1796, resulting in widespread use of his fireplace ? and celebrity for Count Rumford.
BIA Rumford Fireplace
The BIA Rumford Fireplace is based on a contemporary version of the original Rumford using currently available materials. While designed to throw more heat back into the room, the BIA Rumford also has the advantage of being a compact, efficiently built masonry fireplace. While most fireplace and chimney assemblies will take at least 1,500 to 2,000 brick to construct, the BIA Rumford only requires around 1,100 brick. This translates not only into a material savings, but also a labor savings since there are less bricks to lay.
Like the original Rumford, the firebox is shallow measuring only 15 inches deep, bringing the back wall closer to the front of the fireplace. The side walls of the firebox are also angled, though not quite as much as on the original Rumford design. By having a less shallow angle for the side walls, there is room to accommodate a modern amenity ? a small gas log insert ? if desired. The opening for the fireplace is about three feet wide by 2'3" high. While not rounded like the original Rumford, an eight-inch throat between the top of the fireplace opening and the damper helps contain smoke and prevent it from spilling out into the room. A sloped damper also helps to facilitate smoke movement.
"Eliminating the rounded throat was really an issue of trying to work with available materials," says Clark. "Constructing curved surfaces with a tight radius is difficult without using special brick shapes." In addition, the curved throat was not required by the building code in order to qualify as a Rumford. Consequently, the BIA Rumford Fireplace does not include a rounded throat.
Smoke Chamber
The smoke chamber is assembled from cut pieces of clay flue tile liner. Two 12-inch by 16-inch flue tile liners can be cut on- or off-site. They are then fitted and mortared together on-site to achieve the proper smoke chamber configuration. The damper door is located slightly off-center from the chimney flue with its door swinging toward the back of the assembly. A rotary controlled damper door can be used as an added feature to adjust the damper door when the fireplace is in use.
The chimney is comprised of 12-inch by 16-inch clay flue tile liners. Modular brick surround the flue liner to create a chimney that measures two-feet by 1'8". The compact chimney assembly once again conserves bricks by requiring only nine modular brick for each course.
The specification lays out the sequence of construction and quantities of materials required for the job. If a taller chimney is needed, it stipulates that 81 face brick and one flue tile liner are needed for each additional two feet of height.
Traditional Design Meets Contemporary Options
While a Rumford fireplace is a very simplistic design, the BIA interpretation can be used as a template that can be adapted into alternative styles, such as a freestanding, corner or multi-sided version.
"It could be used in a lot of different ways," Clark explains. "What we show on the BIA web site is just the more traditional approach as a part of an exterior side wall, but it can be easily adapted to meet specific client or design needs."
Finally, the lighter weight and smaller dimensions of the Rumford may also be an added bonus in not only retrofits, but also new construction.
"Large national builders are looking to squeeze every square inch they can get out of a floor plan while providing the features homeowners desire," Clark says. "The smaller footprint and reduced weight are positive aspects for both new contemporary and retrofit construction."

Discussion in 'Notable TV' started by ClassyCo, Jun 11, 2019.
Who's your favorite Golden Girl?
Dorothy. I love her sarcasm and how she looks at people when they're being dumb.
Easily Dorothy Then Sophia, Rose and Blanche in that order. The dynamic between them all is fantastic and it's one of my favourite shows after Dallas.
Dorothy just makes me laugh constantly with her put downs, sarcasm and facial expressions.
Too hard to decide, but I changed my vote to Sophia when I saw she didnt get any yet
They were all so good together, and they
were all given their moments to shine.
I do wish I was as tough as Dorothy, though
Also, if I make it to Sophia's age, I hope I'm like her!
I love them all, Blanche probably the most and Sophia a very close second, then Dorothy and Rose.
It was tough to choose between Dorothy and Blanche. I went with the one who had fewer votes.
Both Dorothy and Blanche were the most characteristic characters, I've voted for Blanche because I like the Southern accent and mannerism ("and I said to myself, Water Lily, ….")
Rose and Sofia were the joke-characters, but the effect of the jokes (that what made it humorous) came from Dorothy and Blanche, imho.
In case anyone was wondering, yours truly voted for Dorothy. I have been a fan of The Golden Girls for ten or twelve years at least, but my favoring of the characters has slightly shifted over time.
For the longest time, I remember liking Rose the best. Her dingbat antics and St. Olaf stories were hilarious to me. (To this day, my cousin is a diehard Rose Nylund fan.) But, as time went on, I shifted toward Blanche. Being a native Georgian, I felt a connection with her Southern accent and witticisms, although some of them were not always entirely accurate to Southern lifestyles, although they still made me laugh. Her floozy or "loose" lifestyle brings a lot of stories to the tell, and like Rose's St. Olaf background, are always gems. In the last little while, however, I have fallen the most for Dorothy, and in particularly Bea Arthur. Her stares, reactions, and delivery are all the makings of a strong and true TV comedy actress, and she is undoubtedly my favorite of the quartet. No one, and I mean no one, does triple takes like her.
If I were to put the four in an order, it would go like this:
Dorothy: that sarcastic tongue, one-liners, double/triple takes, reactions, etc., were all timeless and not-so-easily duplicated.
Sophia: one-liners, expressions, and sarcastic tongue all come to mind. (can sometimes be placed third on my list)
Blanche: Southern, sassy, vain, etc. (can sometimes be second)
Rose: my least favorite, but still a gem when those St. Olaf stories come into play.
Dorothy, BAR NONE (if you're a GG fan, you'll know that reference...)......
The look on Bea Arthur's face in reaction to the other characters' jokes very often
made those jokes twice as funny. Bea Arthur was so great, I can't deny that, and Dorothy Z. is one of the best all time characters on t.v. There's a reason why Deadpool wears a t.v. shirt with Dorothy's face on it.
Bea Arthur makes a memorable cameo on Curb Your Enthusiasm. It may have been her last appearance on t.v. if I'm not mistaken.
Having watched the complete show recently for the first time, I have to say that it´s a hard choice but I voted for Blanche, because she was much more than a "slut". She had a gold heart and even when she wanted to be a beech, she couldn´t go all the way. And especially, she wasn´t resentful to any of those ladies who called a tramp every day. That´s a unique quality. I can´t imagine any other actress in the role.
I liked Dorothy but I always had the impression that Bea Arthur was getting bored more and more in the series. Maybe it was Dorothy who led a boring life and Arthur just reflected that. And those gowns were to die for (literally). Rose was a doll, though sometimes she could turn into an Annabelle doll and was much funnier. The problem is that the character was a parody (like the others, I guess) but they didn´t get much deeper into her psyche (as they did with all the others). Of course, White played it to perfection and gave it so much soul. About Sophia, I´d only say that she was the perfect balance for the younger ladies, and without her, the show wouldn´t have been the same.
I agree wholeheartedly with your critiquing of Sophia. Had she been absent, or only an occasional guest star, it wouldn't have provided the same quality or balance that made this foursome ensemble so dear and admired.
One of the things I really liked about the show is the dialogue. There were so many clever one liners and even "throw away comments"(if I'm using the phrase correctly) that were hilarious and brilliant. A few examples:
Dorothy(after Rose explained how all the sugary snacks have inhibited her sleep): "Couldn't sleep? I'm surprised you didn't go out and kill the mayor of San Francisco!"
Blanche: I tried to behave like a lady. I waved politely over his shoulder with my foot."
Sophia(when she's in the convent): "They're in the gift shop. There's a dale on John the Baptist place maps."
Rose: I thought Malamuds were chocolate cookies with marshmallow inside?"
One of my favourites is when Sophia goes missing in the hospital and Blanche runs up to Dorothy saying 'Did you find her?' and Dorothy says, 'Yes Blanche. But now I've hidden her again so you can find her'.
That was awesome, especially Ms. Arthur's delivery.
That reninded me of when Sophia gets out of the hospital and Stan asks Dorothy if she's home.
Dorothy: "No, I haven't taken her out of the trunk of the car yet."
I loved Bea Arthur on rhe GG's better rhan Maude, but I will say when ahe first guest starred on AIITF, she was perfection.
My favorite gag of all the series is when Blanche or Rose says something that impels Sophia to call them slut or dumb, and then Dorothy shut up her mouth. That´s genius and they did it often in the last season. Just loved it. And no words.
One of my favorite scenes involves Rose telling the others about the Herring Circus, which I personally declare as The Best St. Olaf Story of Them All. The material itself is just incredibly silly, but what pushes it over the top is Betty White's straight-faced delivery as both Bea Arthur and Rue McClanahan crack up on camera. The audience is in hysterics because it is rare to see a pro like Bea Arthur lose it. I think the director made the right call by keeping the unintentional laughing and turning-away-from-the-camera in the finished episode rather than editing it out, because it allowed us to see Bea struggling to get out the set-up line for Betty and made me like Bea even more. And of course you have to admire Betty for holding character, since it "worked" for Blanche and Dorothy to laugh at Rose, but having Rose start laughing would not have been in character at all and they would have had to re-film the scene.
Dorothy (after a bout of laughter): "Tell me, Rose [wipe away tear while laughing]….Did they ever shoot a herring out of a cannon?"
Dorothy. Despite her Oz-related name, she's more like Alice in Wonderland - the only sane character in a world where everyone around her is mad.
mine has always always been Sophie
Separate names with a comma.

Peter and I have made a few labeling mistakes, stuff that has cost us over $6,000 to correct. Mostly just legal mumbo jumbo that we didn't catch. But nothing like this. Though I'm inclined to think our wines do sometimes taste like "sweet fuck" I certainly wouldn't ever say it.... guess I just did. This label was mistranslated and now I think Alice White wines have a bit of a PR problem on their hands. Check out the post on GrapeWall. Far funnier than anything I could write!
I like to consider myself the Carrie Bradshaw of the wine world. Not because I am a particularly talented writer, but because I love LA as much as she loves NY AND my expenditures on wine equal hers on Manolo Blahniks. In the 2006 calendar year I spent $13,846.37 on wine. Retail. For some big collectors that's nothing, I know. But for me, with my modest income, that's more than I pay annually in rent. And that's why I'm like Carrie Bradshaw, she couldn't afford her apartment either.

I saw this on a website I visit frequently called GrapeWallofChina.com, great great grape site if you want to know more about the Chinese market. And because we should all know more about the Chinese market because I think they are the next big thing in the world of wine, its worth boning up on. Non pun intended in regards to this post.

On Tuesday, October 27, the City of Berkeley honored BCCO with a proclamation honoring its history and impact on the community. In response to the ceremonial reading of the proclamation, all voices in the room joined in Finlandia, a piece that recalls the spirit of Berkeley in the 60s and of Eugene Jones's vision of a chorus that broke expectations that classical music could be performed and experienced only by an elite — that music should be available to everyone. Packed into the council chambers, we were tied to the "B" in BCCO, to our origins as the Berkeley Community chorus & Orchestra.

Get the Parisian Look
Anyone who has a passion for fashion can agree that the French have such a classy, effortless, and minimalistic look to their outfits. Because of that, it has to be the most envied style. French chic can be classified and styled many different ways, but the key is to always look like getting ready was effortless.
Known tips from French women include forgetting the trends, going with a neutral colour scheme, don't fear slouchy clothes, and save the active wear for the gym.
French Ladies of Inspiration
We find our inspiration from French female icons. Brigitte Bardot is one of the most well-known French beauties of all time. She was an international sex symbol during the 1950s and 60s, but off-camera, her looks were elegant and chic, her outfits mostly consisting of flats and cute dresses.
We couldn't talk about Parisian style without mentioning Coco Chanel. Coco was the epitome of a French woman. Her outfits were simple, chic, and exuded confidence. She was one of the early adopters of the little black dress, styling it with her costume jewelry and knit separates.
Our modern-day Parisian muse is Clemence Poesy. Most of her looks consist of oxford shoes and knit sweaters. Her looks are simple and timeless. She often opts for classic button-downs and slacks. Her natural hair and makeup looks add to the effortless Parisian vibe.
Dress like the French
Less is really more here. To get the Parisian look, find yourself some really great staples. Look for a comfortable flat shoe to pair with some ankle crop trousers or jeans. For more formal occasions, a modest little black dress with some costume jewelry should do the trick. Add a red lip to any outfit and you'll instantly up the French factor. When it comes down to it, we are opting for minimalism and an effortless look. If all else fails, you can always treat yourself to a bottle of wine, baguette, and delicious French cheese!

Filmmaker Brett Haley was born and lived half his life in Key West and Pensacola, sleepy tourist/retirement towns in Florida.
So it's natural that he has found a connection with a film audience that much of Hollywood ignores — filmgoers over 60. "I'll See You in My Dreams" was a post-retirement romance starring Blythe Danner and Sam Elliott. And his latest, "The Hero," is another showcase for Elliott aimed at an audience that, like the film's titular character, grew up on Westerns.
"I don't write for any specific demographic, because you're not doing what's coming natural to you," he says. "I shoot from the gut, and the heart. But I sometimes get an idea of wanting to do something with a particular actor, and write with them in mind. I wanted to give Blythe and Sam a vehicle in the first film, and I wanted to create a showcase for Sam to show everyone what's in him."
All audiences want the same thing, and "people of a certain age," he says, are no different. "They want a movie they connect with, with characters who they can identify with."
And one thing Haley, 33, figured out with "I'll See You in My Dreams," is that the gravelly-voiced Texan with the "aw shucks" twinkle and epic mustache, has a huge following.
"We'd see it at screenings at festivals," Haley says. "I'm just shocked nobody else figured that out."
Well, maybe the Coen brothers, who had the good sense to park Elliott as the Old Cowpoke/Voice and Face of the West in "The Big Lebowski." Whatever else he does, the actor really "ties" the film together, and that's almost certain to lead his obituaries when he rides off into the sunset. Haley builds on that iconography, casting Elliott as a Western star reduced (like Elliott) to voice-over work in commercials, but proud of his past and the Hollywood that used to make Westerns as the ultimate expression of Americana.
Elliott, like Lee Hayden, his under-employed, on-his-last-legs-physically character in "The Hero," seems like a man out of his time.
"He's not exactly the character he plays — he just has a few things in common with him," Haley says. "He does voice-over work, like Lee. He's known for Westerns, like Lee. But Lee Hayden is a relic. He's not cast any more. Sam? He's got 'The Ranch' on Netflix," and a recurring part on "Frank and Gracie" on the same streaming service. "It's just that the sort of real man he's played and represents doesn't show up on screen. 'Logan' may be a comic book movie, but that's a Western. It's just that Hollywood doesn't see that."
Attaching Elliott to the film made the rest of the casting easy. Haley made actress Katharine Ross, Elliott's wife in real life, his ex-wife here.
"Nick Offerman ("Parks & Recreation") is friends with Sam in real-life. Ask him to play Sam's one-time co-star and pot dealer, and he was there. Laura Prepon (as an odd daddy-issues love interest) and Krysten (Ritter, who plays Lee's estranged daughter) didn't know Sam, but loved his screen image, his work, and jumped at the chance."
"The Hero" has earned warmed reviews, with Ty Burr at the Boston Globe calling it "a welcome tribute to a lanky, taciturn presence" and Sara Stewart of The New York Post labeling Haley's Elliott showcase "true cinematic Zen."
Haley hopes the movie can re-start the cinematic argument about "what constitutes a real man, in the movies." Elliott is, naturally, Haley's paragon of this real man.
"Available emotionally, able to admit mistakes, tough, responsible and sensitive."

How VA Growing Equity Mortgages Work
Since the housing market crisis of 2008, the idea of a home with growing equity probably sounds like a dream to many; so many home owners are underwater on their mortgages that the idea of a new purchase loan issued as a "Growing Equity Mortgage" could seem like an unlikely choice at first glance. But with recent headlines on a recovering housing market, rising house prices, and interest rates that are still quite low, could the VA Growing Equity Mortgage make a comeback in the months or years to come?
The VA guidebook for lenders, VA Pamphlet 26-7, describes the Growing Equity Mortgage (GEM) as follows:
"A GEM has gradually increasing monthly payments, with all of the increase applied to the principal balance. Compared to the standard amortization plan, GEMs have a faster accumulation of equity and earlier loan payoff. GEM amortization plans are generally acceptable for VA loan purposes."
The VA GEM "initial payment" plan is based on the mortgage payments for a typical 30-year mortgage under a standard amortization arrangement. According to the VA, "Payment increases can be fixed or tied to an index.
Example 1: Monthly payments are increased by three percent each year for the first 10 years. The payments level off in the eleventh year and remain constant through loan payoff. Loan payoff may occur within a few years of the leveling off of the payment, depending upon interest rate." Another VA example provided in VA Pamphlet 26-7 describes increases in the monthly mortgage payments as being "based on a percentage of a Department of Commerce index that measures per capita, after-tax disposable personal income in the United States."
What makes VA Growing Equity Mortgages different than a standard VA home loan? Qualification requirements.. "The lender must determine that the applicant's income can reasonably be expected to keep pace with the increases in the monthly mortgage payment."
With property values rising in many markets, and some home owners suddenly finding themselves able to sell a home without being underwater on the deal, could the housing market be ready for VA growing equity mortgage loans once more? Time will tell, in the meantime it never hurts to know what your options might be in the future with the range of VA loan options at your disposal.

At the moment I'm playing with Ruby (building a Norton Commander thingy based on GTK) and one of the things I'm realizing (again) is that a lot of 'design' complexity disappears because Ruby, in a lot of cases, is cleaner and less verbose. For example: in Java you would have to create a Strategy (aka Policy) or Template Method if you need to inject a function, in Ruby you can use a closure. The consequence is that small grained design in Java is difficult, and this is caused by all the syntactic overhead (interface definitions, anonymous innerclasses, template-methods etc).
I don't say design patterns are bad, but some design patterns (I would rather call them concepts) are harder to implement in some languages, and this inhibits good design: you are damned if you do, and damned if you don't (if you don't, your code gets ugly, and if you do, your code gets ugly).
Design pattern = Concept + Implementation
Concepts often are good, implementations often are limited by the host-language.

I would like to say that I never meant to make you cry,
I think about you everyday, no matter what your friends might say,
Everybody knows my name, even thought I'm still the same,
I just would like to say that I, I never ever meant to make you Cry
[verse 1]
I would like to know why, there are clouds in the sky,
Every time I fall in love
and I would like to know why I'm sitting here on my own.
I would like to know why, when to find a nice guy,
someone I can lean upon
I mess it all up and then I wonder why I'm all alone.
Tell me if you think that I'm talking way too much,
Tell me if you'd like to stay in touch.
[verse 2]
Sitting on the sofa, letting life go by,
Thinking about the Early days
Thinking about the times when I heard you were my crazy ways
All I wanna do is look around for you, yeah drive until the break of dawn
Tracking and calling and pleading till your coming home
Tell me if you think that I've been a bit too much,
Tell me if you'd like to stay in touch.
I didn't mean to be so cruel, I didn't mean to let you down,
So sorry for the rain on your parade and all the pain you must have gained because of me.

A professional wrestling term, "kayfabe" means presenting staged events as if they're real. Pro wrestling is theater, not sport. But it thrives on the illusion that it is the latter, not the former.
This twilight realm is Trump's bailiwick. His business empire was built on the maxim "fake it till you make it," feeding bogus stories to copy-hungry tabloids. His gift partly stems from believing his own bull. When asked under oath how he measures his net worth, he explained that it depends on his personal feelings.
Trump also believes in the kayfabes of others. He reportedly once called the headquarters of the WWE to find out if CEO
Trump is a bit like one of the shackled mortals in Plato's cave: He thinks the shadows on the wall, or his TV, are the real thing. Before it became politically inconvenient, Trump used to brag that he knew Russian President
This twofold tendency -- to believe the story and to believe that the story is more important than reality -- goes a long way toward explaining why Trump believes in conspiracy theories, thinks lavish summits are their own reward, and makes bold announcements via Twitter that would be great if they were actually true.
"There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from
Our dilemma: how to deal with our kayfabed world. Some boosters just go along with the act. They say he's the "world's greatest negotiator" because that's the story of Trump's brand -- and id.
"Fake news" isn't necessarily news that's untrue, but news that inconveniently breaks the fourth wall of the kayfabe. When the Sun reported Trump's criticisms of British Prime Minister
For many in the administration, the challenge is to humor the kayfabe while doing your job. In June, following the G7 summit in
Meanwhile, Trump's biggest detractors retreat to a kayfabe all their own, in which they constitute the heroic opposition to an authoritarian monster -- "literally Hitler!" If Trump were Hitler, they'd be in jail.
Journalists are caught between these narratives and often succumb to their audiences' delusions. Many of my colleagues at Fox tell viewers what they want to hear: Trump can do no wrong. Many at
In each case they're doing Trump a favor. Every wrestling storyline needs a villain and a hero, and every promoter/producer sees good ratings as their own reward. That's why the news media gave candidate Trump $2 billion in free media.
It's an ugly spectacle with an obvious solution: See the kayfabe for what it is; don't fall for the performance.

The Work of Memory: Contemporary Artists Engage the Severed Past along the Indo-Pakistan Border
This talk, delivered jointly by Anne Murphy and Raghavendra Rao K.V., addresses memory work along the Indo-Pakistan border that attempts to call to mind a once-shared culture that now is divided by an international boundary. The focus of the presentation is work completed in an international artists' residency in October/November 2018 that were a part of a larger program of work entitled Creative Interruptions, supported by an Arts and Humanities Research Council UK grant with leading partner Strathclyde University, Scotland. An exhibition will follow in February 2019. The work will be placed in the context of a broader effort to integrate the arts and research in addressing cultural history and the quest to remember that has been pursued locally through the South Asian Canadian Histories Association, which was co-founded by Murphy and Rao in 2016 with several others.
When: Thursday January 10, 2019 | 4 – 5 pm
Where: MOA Room 213
Speakers: Anne Murphy, Associate Professor, Asian Studies, UBC & Raghavendra Rao K.V., Visual Artist
