It is not necessary to use equal value split supplies. For example, b 5V and b 12V would be fine for 0V to 1V video signals. Applications Information Product Description The EL2099C is a current mode feedback amplifier that has high output current drive capability. It is built using Elantec's proprietary dielectric isolation process that produces NPN and PNP complimentary transistors. The high output current can be useful to drive many standard video loads in parallel, as well as digital sync pulses that are 8V or greater. Good power supply bypassing should be used to reduce the risk of oscillation. A 1 mF to 10 mF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 mF ceramic capacitor is recommended for bypassing each supply pin. They should be kept as close as possible to the device pins. a Input Resistor Value A small value resistor located in the a Input lead is necessary to keep the EL2099C from oscillating under certain conditions. A 50X resistor is recommended for all applications, although smaller values will work under some circumstances. All tests listed in this datasheet are performed with 50X in the a Input lead, as well as all typical performance curves. The 50X resistor along with the a Input bias current creates an additional typical Offset Voltage of only 250 mV at T e 25§ C, and a maximum of 1.25 mV over temperature variations. Due to the internal construction of the TO-220 package, the tab of the EL2099C is connected to the VS b pin. Therefore, care must be taken to avoid connecting the tab to the ground plane of the system. Printed Circuit Board Layout As with any high frequency device, good printed circuit board layout is necessary for optimum performance. Ground plane construction is highly recommended. Lead lengths should be as short as possible. For good AC performance, parasitic capacitances should be kept to a minimum, especially at the inverting input, which is sensitive to stray capacitance. This implies keeping the ground plane away from this pin. Metal film and carbon resistors are both acceptable, while use of wire-wound resistors is not recommended because of their parasitic inductance. Similarly, capacitors should be low inductance for best performance. Feedback Resistor Values The EL2099C has been designed and specified with RF e 510X and AV e a 2. This value of feedback resistor yields extremely flat frequency response with little to no peaking. However, 3 dB bandwidth is reduced somewhat because of this. Wider bandwidth, at the expense of slight peaking, can be accomplished by reducing the value of the feedback resistor. For example, at a gain of a 2, reducing the feedback resistor to 330X increases the b 3 dB bandwidth to 70 MHz with 3 dB of peaking. Inversely, larger values of feedback resistor will cause roll off to occur at a lower frequency. There is essentially no peaking with RF l 510X. Driving Cables and Capacitive Loads The EL2099C was designed with driving multiple coaxial cables in mind. With 440 mA of output drive and low output impedance, driving six 75X double terminated coaxial cables to g 11V with one EL2099C is practical. When used as a cable driver, double termination is always recommended for reflection-free performance. For those applications, the back termination series resistor will decouple the EL2099C from the capacitive cable and allow extensive capacitive drive. For a discussion on some of the other ways to drive cables, see the application section on driving cables in the EL2003 data sheet. Power Supplies The EL2099C may be operated with single or split supplies as low as g 5V (10V total) to as high as g 18V (36V total). Bandwidth and slew rate are almost constant from VS e g 10V to 10 EL2099C Video Distribution Amplifier The schematic below shows the EL2099C driving 6 double terminated cables, each of average length of 50 feet. Applications Information Ð Contd. Other applications may have high capacitive loads without termination resistors. In these applications, an additional small value (5X –50X) resistor in series with the output will eliminate most peaking. This represents driving an effective load of 25X to over g 10V. The resulting performance is shown in the scope photo. Notice that double termination results in reflection free performance. 2099 – 10 2099 – 11 11 EL2099C TAB WIDE Video Distribution Amplifier EL2099 Macromodel TD is 6.1in a input * Connections: b input * l a Vsupply * l l b Vsupply * l l l output * l l l l * l l l l l .subckt M2099 4 5 1 3 2 * * Input Stage * e1 10 0 4 0 1.0 vis 10 9 0V h2 9 12 vxx 1.0 r1 5 11 50 l1 11 12 48nH iinp 4 0 5mA iinm 5 0 b8mA * * Slew Rate Limiting * h1 13 0 vis 600 r2 13 14 1K d1 14 0 dclamp d2 0 14 dclamp * * High Frequency Pole * *e2 30 0 14 0 0.001667 13 30 17 1.5mH c5 17 0 1pF r5 17 0 500 * * Transimpedance Stage * g1 0 18 17 0 1.0 ro1 18 0 150K cdp 18 0 8pF * * Output Stage * q1 3 18 19 qp q2 1 18 20 qn q3 1 19 21 qn q4 3 20 22 qp r7 21 2 1 r8 22 2 1 12 EL2099C Video Distribution Amplifier EL2099 Macromodel Ð Contd. ios1 1 19 5mA ios2 20 3 5mA * * Supply Current * ips 1 3 19mA * * Error Terms * ivos 0 23 5mA vxx 23 0 0V e4 24 0 2 0 1.0 e5 25 0 1 0 1.0 e6 26 0 3 0 1.0 r9 24 23 3K r10 25 23 1K r11 26 23 1K TD is 3.1in * Models * .model qn npn (is e 5eb15 bf e 200 tf e 0.1nS) .model qp pnp (is e 5eb15 bf e 200 tf e 0.1nS) .model dclamp d (is e 1eb30 ibv e 0.266 bv e 5 n e 4) .ends 13 EL2099C Video Distribution Amplifier EL2099 Macromodel Ð Contd. 2099 – 9 14 15 BLANK EL2099C EL2099C Video Distribution Amplifier General Disclaimer Specifications contained in this data sheet are in effect as of the publication date shown.

Katherine L. Carey age 93 of Columbus Junction, Iowa passed away Friday, June 16, 2017 at Colonial Manor Care Center in Columbus Junction where she had been a resident since October of 2016.
Katherine Lovenia Pewitt was born August 14, 1923 in Malta, Montana to Robert A. and Katherine (Hartmann) Pewitt. The first years of her life were very influential in her love of the open prairie and outdoors and being a lover of horses. Growing up in a log cabin and being the only child for miles created in her a sense of adventure and imagination. She rode a horse before she could walk and so began her life as a strong horsewoman. She later welcomed a brother Robert Jr. and a sister, Roberta, who died in infancy. Bob and Katherine knew every inch of the open prairie riding their ponies and hunting with their dogs.
When the Great Depression hit they loaded up their belongings and headed to California. After a time there, things did not improve so they moved back to the mining town of Landusky, Montana. After some more hard times they then moved to her maternal family in Chicago. Katherine loved her life at Sunset Farms where her father trained and showed five gaited saddle bred horses. She showed at many presitigous events and won many awards. In 1941 she graduated from Niles Township High School. During World War II the family then moved to Wapello, Iowa to rent a farm and train and show horses.
Katherine enlisted in the United States Navy as a WAVE. She completed her basic training in New York City. She then completed her tech training in Oklahoma City. After completion she was then stationed at Oakland Alameda as an airplane mechanic then a tool room clerk. January 9, 1946, she was discharged to civilian life, returning to Wapello, Iowa. She then worked various jobs while training for her pilot's license.
Her love of horses brought her to the love of her life. While leading horses to post at the Wapello Homecoming harness races she caught the eye of Keith Carey. They were married May 5, 1950 at the Methodist Church in Wapello. Their 67 years of marriage were spent working together on the family farm on Indian Creek Road east of Columbus Junction.
That same year, Keith's brother, Red, was injured in a racing accident so they jumped in to help train and race the family horses. Thus began their involvement in Midwest harness racing. In the early 1960's, Katherine and a group of other enthusiasts formed the Hawkeye Colt Stakes Association to promote the racing industry in the Midwest. She was the Secretary/Treasurer of this group for many years. Her love for studying horse pedigrees led to her involvement with the forming of the Midwest Standardbred Sale in 1962 held annually at the Kalona Sales Barn. Katherine had a strong reputation with her pedigrees and many sale companies employed her expertise. In 1995, Katherine was inducted into the Iowa Harness Racing Hall of Fame for her service to the industry.
Katherine is survived by her husband Keith. A daughter, Twyla & Dan Peters of Columbus Junction. Their children, Will and Keetra Peters, Keagan, Kinleigh and Kelton of Sherman, Illinois; Mackenzie and Sam Clark, Sydney, Clay and Banks of Columbus Junction. A son, Jeff & Nancy Carey of Columbus Junction. Their children, Mary Carey and Keevyn Kilburg, Karlee and Kolton of Columbus Junction; Curtis; and Allison and Ryan Pearson, Kathlynn and Newlyn of Lone Tree. Another son, Bill & Debby Carey of Columbus Junction, Truckie & Michelle Harbison, Logan & Caedon of Crawfordsville and Matthew Stauffer of Muscatine. Another daughter, Patti & Larry Fred Gerling of Winfield, their children Saul of Vienna, Illinois, Emma, Akira and Adelaide Gerling; Jon of Des Moines, Iowa; and Jessica and Jacob Alvarez and Freyja of Netzaberg, Bavaria, Germany. One step-brother-in-law, Les Linendoll of Idaho and several close nieces and nephews.
She was preceeded in death by her parents, an infant sister, her brother in 2016, her step-mother, Isadene Drake Pewitt and a step-sister Maxine Linendoll and one great grandson.
A celebration of Katherine's life will be held at the American Legion, 99 Second Street, Columbus Junction, Iowa on Sunday, June 25, 2017. A casual service will be held at 2:00 followed by a time of casual fellowship until 4:00. Memorials can be made to Indian Creek Cemetery Association where she will be inurned at a later date or to the Colonial Manor Care Center. Elliott Chapel of New London is assisting the family at this time.
There are no tributes yet.
We encourage you to show your support by adding a tribute above:
- Share your favorite memory of Katherine
- Offer your condolences to the family
- Light a virtual candle

Rated: R for strong violence, language and some sexuality Reviewed by: Frank Release date: September 14, 2007 Released by: Warner Brothers
Jodie Foster's Erica is a radio voice, it's the way she likes it. She is private as a star on the radio and she is in love with David (Naveen Andrews).
Erica is relaxed - she wears sneakers, a loose long shirt with an open sweater and no socks. She's not on TV - we can't see her during her broadcast and no one knows what she looks like. When she enters a romantic walk with David and her dog in Central Park, we know from the film hype, danger is lurking somewhere on this comfortable summer evening.
Terrence Howard's Mercer, a cop who holds cases a little too close is working on the murder of a mom who planed to testify against her husband who now gets custody of the little girl who probably knows what he did.
Director Neil Jordan constantly flashes back to the violent attack which forces us to enter the terror ride Erica constantly relives from the encounter which killed her lover. Jordan also filters in love scenes between David and Erica which draw us away from the tension that forces us to intently watch each scene while we think of what our response to her situation would be. Jordan also uses twisted scenes which depict the essentially bazaar situation Erica finds herself in.
While footsteps frighten her, the bureaucratic police drive her to revenge. With sunglasses and a gun she becomes a vigilante, although her first hit does come simply because she is, again, in the wrong place.
As we might expect the bad guys are completely without redemption, that makes it more comfortable for us to cheer as she revenges the grievances. Like Charles Bronson's Paul Kersey in Death Wish she murders on a train when challenged. But unlike Kersey, Erica is bothered by her actions, they work on her mind constantly. She becomes different wandering the streets at night looking for trouble but never satisfied as Kersey was.
While Detective Vitale (Nicky Katt) slips in remarks that break the tension, Mercer and Erica banter as we watch their psychological tension and unspoken support for each other's mission in the mirror. They are conflicting allies in the battle for the streets. All of the blood letting on the side of the good guys begins to draw the attention and Mary Steenburgen's Carol. Erica's producer begins to play the card when Erica expresses her feelings one night in a moving effective statement to her audience. But the question and answer period folded into the radio show pulls Erica's balance further apart.
With the assistance of haunting background music, the tension on the street and the muted pressure between the two stars, we can't look away, we are compelled to watch every scene and every move.
With two very effective performance and an interesting script, the revenge film takes on a new quality with a stronger feeling of reality, the pain of guilt and the profound dark change that takes place in the characters. At the same time we all cheer when the revenge is complete.

Siri - Apple's Digital Virtual Assistant - was a big hit when it launched in 2010. The software allows you to interact with your Apple phone or tablet in a natural way, by speaking questions or commands instead of typing. Google Now is the Android version of Siri, if you like - a similar product that allows you to ask questions of your Android phone or tablet. The natural question that probably pops up is "which is better?", and CNET has a video showing current versions of both products working side by side, so you can get a feel for the experience under the same conditions.
To make it as scientific as possible, both phones were disconnected from their mobile networks and connected to the same Wi-Fi network. With a couple of exceptions, the same question was asked at the exact same moment. And, both are muted so that we weren't distracted by these ladies competing for air time.

Now men have big ass egos. They feel like cheating is a part of life and every now and then its okay to sample different pussy. So we already know men are dumb as fuck and cant cheat with out getting caught. They will leave behind all kinds of clues and their body language when they get a call or text messages is a dead give away. And then females are spiteful as fuck especially when they get mad. So he cheats and he gets away with it. Instead of fucking just once and bust one or two nuts in the session, they wanna keep creeping back. Now shorty is feeling comfortable because they have fucked a few times. and if its a dumb bitch, then she feeling like its a relationship. Yall know the kind of female I'm talking about. Now shit gets complicated and he is about to get busted. So the truth comes out and he like I fucked up and it didnt mean anything to him. Then you ask him the million dollar question. If your ass wouldnt have gotten caught, would you had told me? That's when you get to see how dumb he truly is, because he holds his down and say no. Now women are strong creatures by nature, most of us anyway. So in the back of our mind, this dude is about to pay for being stupid. We dont ask him if the pussy was good because we dont give a fuck. We dont ask how good she sucked a dick because we aint about to touch ur tainted ass. We might make ur ass sleep on the couch or let you still sleep in the bed but you aint getting no pussy. So he goes in to breaking bread and doing whatever he has to do to make things right and get ur trust again. What men dont understand is women expect them to be a man, whether they do the right or the wrong thing, just man da fuck up when you get caught. Remember 2 can play that game.
Now when a female cheats, the man finds out because we want yall to know. We are better and smarter cheaters then yall. We learned their trifling ass ways and took it to the next level. We will fuck our lover, wash and douche in the shower and come home and fuck the shit out of you. We wont mess up home unless it absolutely necessary. So now we are tired and we decide to tell the truth. Now we all have a been with a man that has cheated on us at least once. If you're over there say no, ur lying ur ass off and you need to miss me with that bull shit. Now this is where it gets interesting. Ill use one of my own personal experiences.
My ex cheated and he expected me to get over it. And in time I did. I didnt care what the bitch looked like nor did I want to know any details. I just sucked it up and made the situation work. Now dont get it twisted because I was chocmami when this happen. cheating isnt an option, we share pussy in my relationships now. Now I happened to meet this dude and I made sure he looked better than what I had at home. I was told that if you cheat, make sure everything has to be better than what's at home. So I had that under control. So me and old dude started fucking and we fucked for several months. My man never had a clue. But shit started getting crazy with my lover. His dick game was proper but at the end of the day it was wrong and I felt my point had been made. And I started to feel guilty. So I came clean. Now when his dirty laundry came out he had the attitude like okay and. Now he is on the receiving end of the betrayal. He wants to see a picture to see what the nigga looks like. Then here comes the questions like was his dick bigger than mine? Did he fuck you better than me? Did he eat ur pussy? Please tell me you didnt suck his dick. Then the nigga wants to fuck because he ego is bruised and he wants to prove a point. All I can do is shake my fucking head.
Men expect you to put up with their shit and keep it moving. Or they expect you to chalk it up as that's just what men do. Boy bye! If yall dont want yall feelings hurt then stop thinking yall can do shit and ur girl is going take that shit laying down. And if she is taking it laying down, trust me its someone else's dick. Cheating is cheating and there should be no fucking double standards. It should be we both did wrong and let's work it out. So men the next time you think about cheating on ur girl, her ass may already be giving up ur pussy to someone else. Remember we are way smarter than you and we can do way more damage.

Dyshidrosis can cause tiny itchy blisters on the sole of the feet. In this case, dyshidrosis is called Pedopompholyx. This skin disease alternates periods of flare up and remissions. When the blisters clear (usually in 2 or 3 weeks), the skin tends to be red, cracked and dry.
It is essential for people suffering from dyshidrosis on feet to moisturize, protect and soothe the skin. Skintifique has developed extremely efficient, safe and pure skin care products suitable for people with dyshidrosis.
Indeed, the Eczema Pack is recommended for people suffering from dyshidrosis on feet, who will benefit from the combined action of:
- Moisturizing Lotion HP which moisturizes and protects the skin from environmental stressors (pollution, dryness, metals…) that can help trigger outbreaks
- Hydrating Gel Plus HS which moisturizes and soothes intensely, and helps repair skin
Recommended skin care for dyshidrosis
Eczema Pack
Intense and long-lasting moisturizing and soothing. Protects skin from environmental stressors which can trigger dyshidrosis outbreaks. Proven efficacy. Very safe & pure formulations.

Hydrating Gel Plus HS
This cream provides an intense and long-lasting moisturizing, soothes and helps repair skin which is irritated by dyshidrosis. Very pure & safe formulation.
What are the results of Skintifique products on dyshidrosis?
Below are photos of a woman suffering from dyshidrosis on both hands due to a Nickel allergy. After using the Protective Cream HPS to protect her skin against contact with Nickel, the Moisturizing Lotion HP to moisturize her skin by day, and the Hydrating Gel Plus HS to repair her skin by night, a very clear improvement can be seen.

This consultation seeks views on proposals to reform the Gender Recognition Act 2004.
The Gender Recognition Act 2004 (the 2004 Act) allows a transgender person to apply to the Gender Recognition Panel to obtain legal recognition in their acquired gender. The 2004 Act describes their acquired gender as the gender (either the male gender or female gender) in which an applicant is living and seeking recognition.
In the Programme for Government 2016-2017 and the Fairer Scotland Action Plan, the Scottish Government said that we would review and reform the 2004 Act , so that it is in line with international best practice.
Our proposed reforms would streamline the application process by removing requirements for applicants to provide medical evidence and for them to have lived in their acquired gender for at least two years prior to their application. The consultation also proposes that the minimum age of applicants should be reduced from 18 to 16. Subject to views expressed during the consultation, we propose that Scotland should adopt a self-declaration system for legal gender recognition.
The consultation also seeks views on a range of potential options for people under 16 to access legal gender recognition and for people who do not identify as men or women (non-binary people).
We have also published a series of Questions and Answers about the consultation.

It seems like the cell phone market is a revolving door of new plans, new phones, and an ever growing list of terms and conditions that find a clever new way to charge you for something.
In fact, cell phone bills have been steadily climbing over the years so high that as many as 50-70% of smartphone users in America are overpaying on their cell phone plans!
Tired of High Phone Bills? Calculate Your Savings!Save Now
This has led to almost 8 million people switching carriers every month. It's no surprise really, why stay with an expensive carrier when surely there are cheaper alternatives out there, right?
That's the problem.
Cell Phone Plan Confusion Has Led to Americans Overpaying
There's so much confusion surrounding the cell phone industry because consumers are unaware of the dozens of cheaper plans out there. The smaller, independent carriers like Straight Talk can offer huge savings while granting you greater control over what you want and what you pay for.
Let's compare this to the average mobile phone bill in the UK, where smartphone users pay as low as $30 a month!
Sources: BLS.gov and Ofcom.org.uk
So why do Brits pay so much less?
There's a better solution: use a comparison website.
Sites like Expedia, Kayak, Priceline, and Hotels.com have saved cost-conscious consumers a massive amount of time and money over the years. When you're looking for a cheap flight or hotel, you don't contact each company individually for the best deals. Instead, comparison websites lay out all of your options so you can snag the best deals at the cheapest prices.
It makes sense, so why not do the same when looking for a cell phone plan?
That's why we created our Cell Phone Savings Calculator.
So How Do You Start Saving?
At MoneySavingPro, we are on a mission to save consumers thousands of dollars a year in wasted cell phone bills. With our calculator, it's easy to find out how much you're overpaying on your cell phone bill. We want you to stop paying for what you don't need and instead use your hard-earned money on more interesting things.
Simply tell us who your current carrier is, how many lines are on your account, your monthly data limit, and how much you're spending on your plan each month. You'll see how much you can save by switching to a new plan. Easy!
Despite today's confusing cell phone market, consumers are more empowered than ever to switch to a different carrier. With the extinction of the contract plan, consumers can purchase a new plan they want and freely switch without fear of consequence.
Low-cost carriers and MVNOs like US Mobile are also leading the charge for cheaper cell phone plans. MVNOs buy or lease data from any of the Big Four, so while they may not come bundled with nifty perks, they offer solid coverage and unbeatable prices.
Switching Is Easier Than Ever & Can Save You Hundreds
The Big Four, and many smaller MVNOs, even want you to switch! To encourage you to slam the door on your old carrier, they'll pay hundreds of dollars to cover the fees you'll face from leaving. If you bring your own phone with you, you can rake in even more savings.
To find out how much you're overpaying, use our Cell Phone Savings Calculator. It only takes a minute to get your savings and make an apples-to-apples comparison on new cell phone plans tailored especially for you. Don't be a part of the millions of Americans overpaying on their cell phone plans.
We believe that informed consumers can make smart buying decisions. We want to help you start saving like a Pro!

This blog is about my journey through the world of fountain pens and the inks that we use in them. I'm a relative novice to the community with about six month under my belt, so I feel that puts me in a unique position to examine and review my pens and inks with the eyes (and vocabulary!) of someone new to all of this. I'm hoping my steps and missteps will be of assistance to other newbies and perhaps offer a chuckle to the seasoned pen user.
I've come to discover there are at least two types of fountain pen users with three subtypes. My friend, who I will refer to as T, is a One or Two Very Special Pen user of the subtype Vintage Pen Preferred. I'm a Many Pens user because I can't commit to a nib or even a color of ink for a while day. My subtype is Unused Items Prefered. The third subtype that neither of us fall into but I hear exists is Latest and Greatest Pens Desired; these folks want to hottest pens just released and I guess this type of buyer exists for all technologies simple and complex, don't they.
I have gone from "starter pens" to "med range" recently and I will have at least 6 or 7 different models/models with different nibs to review for you though I will take my time so don't expect all of my pens to be cataloged in a scant few weeks. I will also review my growing, growing, growing collection of inks or more probably I will review an ink line and then talk a little about each color within that line that I have used…. I have a LOT to say about ink! And of course any other related products like paper, pen holder/protectors, even traveling ink vials will all get a mention. I think I'll even bust out my camera for this!
Don't expect the same old reviews you see elsewhere… I don't know what the materials that make up the pen have to do with it's quality, only if it feels sturdy and looks pretty. I've often tried only one pen with Nib X so a review will be both of a pen and a nib type together. I've only tried about six lines of ink but my color collection has passed 30, so I'll talk a lot about opinions and compare colors, but I won't be doing dry time tests or checking for ink saturation like other sites already do. Basically, this is a new kid talking to new kids about cool stuff we both love.
It would be wonderful if I developed the type of readership that gets a blog sent1) samples to review or ohhhhhhhh 2) samples to GIVE AWAY so please follow this blog and try to comment on as many entries as you have a thought about… nothing is too elementary and if you ask a question I can't answer, I'll send it over to the ever knowledgeable T, whose fault it is that I discovered this crazy, expensive, but beautiful world of pens and ink.

Jamie Lynn Spears took another step toward marriage and motherhood last Thursday – registering for gifts at Babies R Us. Spears, who turns 17 on the 4th April, drove 80 miles to Baton Rouge from her home at the Serenity mansion in Kentwood, L.A., was reportedly accompanied by her cousin and "somebody called ahead to say they were coming in," a source told PEOPLE. Reportedly flashing an engagement ring on her left hand, Spears also was sporting a shirt that read "The Rumors Are True" as she and her cousin both registered for gifts at the store, according to sources. Casey Aldridge, 18, the baby's father, is listed as her "co-registrant" and the "event date" listed is 10th July. Spears added the message: "Thank you for supporting us during this special time." Requests included an ultrasound frame, a Cookie Monster bath towel and a Baby Neptune Ocean Gym. Spears was careful not to select any pink or blue items, instead opting for sage-green terry cloth changing-pad covers and receiving blankets decorated with Disney characters such as Winnie the Pooh and Tigger.

Bjarke Ingels: Architecture's IT Designer Completes First US Project
Bjarke Ingels
Architecture's IT Designer Completes First US Project
Written by Bill Indursky | Developed by Terra GROUP | Architecture by Bjarke Ingels | Photos by Rasmus Hjortshoj
Landscape by Raymond Jungles | Images Courtesy of Susan Grant Lewin PR
December 14, 2016
In Coconut Grove Florida's first residential project in more than 10 years, starcitect Bjarke Ingels continues the area's long history of challenging the status quo. The recently completed two building, 98 unit luxury residential condominium project by developer Terra is Ingel's first in the US. The buildings anticipate being certified LEED Gold, sport 360-degree views, have fluid indoor-outdoor space and feature an energy-saving brise-soleil which provides the building with its signature style. "By creating twisting towers that rise side-by-side but never cross paths, we were able to optimize views, outdoor spaces, and the flexibility of our floor plans while allowing the buildings to interact with one another," says Ingel.
The open 4,000 square foot plan was designed to be a complete mansion in the sky. Amenities on property include rooftop pools for residents of each tower, a five-star spa and fitness center, full-time concierge and butler service, a private dining room for residents and their guests, and a pet spa. The project has an extensive art collection, valued at more than $1.2 million, featuring original works by Alice Aycock, Tara Donovan, Gimhongsok, Jim Drain, Olafur Eliasson, Cerith Wyn, Jeppe Hein, Nathan Mabry, Geo McFetridge, Pedro Reyes, Pae White, and Antonia Wright.
The grounds, designed by landscape architect Raymond Jungles, offers numerous water features, nearly 500 trees and more than 15,000 plants. Most of the trees and plants are native to Coconut Grove.
The project has been recognized with a number of honors and awards for its achievements in development, construction quality, and engineering excellence, including the National Council of Structural Engineers Association's (NCSEA) 2015 Excellence in Structural Engineering Award, the Concrete Industry Board's (CIB) 2015 Award of Merit, and the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of New York's 2016 Engineering Excellence Awards. Grove at Grand Bay is a $400 million project that has sold out.


text: Hi everyone, just to let you know that since having the flu and pneumonia jabs last week I have had no reaction from them. I'm working on the idea if I didn't feel anything by now I won't (forever the optimist lol). Anyway I'm thanks again for all the guidance and shared experiences as it was both comforting and reassuring. I have also been seen at pulmonary rehab clinic (both depressing and inspiring at same time if that make any sense) lol she ask me to hold my breath to time it...3 seconds later I was coughing and spluttering and asthma attack. So much for that! I also have GERD apparently but since starting treatment I'm sleeping most of the night with no need for my inhaler and I'm back sleeping lying down last two nights. Feeling so much stronger. I hope everyone is keeping as well as they can again thank you all!

Feb 07, 2018 (ACCESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / February 7, 2018 / Pawar Law Group reminds shareholders who purchased shares of Intel Corporation INTC, +0.11% between July 27, 2017 and January 4, 2018, both dates inclusive ("Class Period") of the important March 12, 2018 lead plaintiff deadline in the class action. The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for Intel investors under the federal securities laws. To join the Intel class action, go to http://pawarlawgroup.com/cases/intel-corporation/ or call Vik Pawar, Esq. toll-free at 888-589-9804 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for information on the class action.
No class has yet been certified in the above action. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. You may retain counsel of your choice.
According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) there is a fundamental design flaw in Intel's processor chips as they contain a feature that makes them vulnerable to hacking; (2) updates to fix the problems in Intel's processor chips could cause Intel chips to operate 5-30 percent more slowly; and (3) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

A timid boy who gets picked on all the time befriends the new girl who just moved into his apartment complex. Girl instills some confidence in said boy and teaches him how to stand up for himself. Girl turns out to be a vampire. Boy loves her anyway. Best friends forever.
[Rated R]
The rare American remake that actually stands on its own against the original. Even if you've seen and dig the (arguably) superior Let the Right One In, this little ditty totally does it justice and then some. Not only does it make for a fantastic, bloody horror movie, but it's a totally genuine, affecting coming-of-ager about young love to boot. Those two things don't usually go together, so highly recommend giving this one a go.
It's got an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Or how about another DRAMA, one without vampires and such?
Or maybe another HORROR movie, one without children and such?

It is often asked by the members….both new and old. I look at it like an insurance premium. The Union will be there when you need it. The Union is also the watchdog of the employer's actions, locally, regionally and nationally. At times, the Union also works jointly with the employer to develop policies and deliver information to all staff; harassment awareness sessions, joint safety and health committee training and the United Way campaign are just a few examples.

|I live in zone 6b. Have a nice assortment of caladiums and an ee growing in my rock garden. Do I have to dig them up and store the tubers/bulbs once they fade in the fall and replant for color next year? Thanks! (Recently transplanted myself from Fla., learning the ways of northeast gardening.)
Every-time you ignore a standard, you create a new one.
Aug 28, 2016 9:40 AM CST
|My guess would be a big, fat, YES! LOL However, I have never had any luck overwintering caladium bulbs. They just seemed to do the "dust to dust" thing for me.
Aug 28, 2016 10:08 AM CST
|Yes, absolutely you need to dig them and bring them indoors. But I wouldn't store them naked, put them in a flower pot with some potting soil and don't let them dry out completely. Maybe water the pot every couple of weeks. If they're nice big bulbs they will do fine over the winter in a cool, dark place.
If they aren't nice and big, at least an inch across, when you dig them up, I would order some new bulbs from Bill next spring. They're not expensive and will give you SO much nicer big healthy plants than what you'll get from little bulbs that you've stored.

|I dig up mine,clean them off really well and store them in brown paper bags in the bottom of my refrigerator,I just have to remember to mist them at least once a month. You can start them indoors mid March,this way by mid May I can transplant them out side. Good Luck....

Hidden Techno-House-Treasures Recovered
Five Excellent Free Techno-House Tracks | From time to time I stumble upon netlabel-releases which don't convince me with the whole release. Unfortunately you discover sometimes on these albums true hidden treasures. What to do? Being picky? Right! Otherwise you would miss some really great tunes for your ears.
Tosol - "Trip around Midnight EP" (Auflegware)
German sound-engineer Tosol enjoys playing with sounds and tricky beats. His "Trip around Midnight EP" is a Techno EP where Minimal meets some Breakbeat-trickery. All tracks are slightly dirty and what I like best, is how Tosol twists beats and sounds. Unfortunately not the whole EP convinced me, but his track "Format 2000" is a monster. The track reminds me a bit of "Funk Phenomena" by Armand van Helden but is much more techy and stands for itself.
Selffish -"Splash"
Selffish is one of the netlabel-scene-veterans who already released his music years ago - especially on Thinner. On www.leibniz.ru he published a marvellous and cosy House-Tune called ".Splash". This production is a true sweet spot. Open up and let some relaxed sounds into your home.
glander - "shakershoes" (clear-cut-records)
Glander is the labelhead behind the fabulous Yuki Yaki Netlabel. Over the years Glander develloped his own style of deep and relaxed House inbetween Dub and Techno. One of his best releases is his "Vate"-EP for 1Bit Wonder. "shakershoes" continues his quest in producing dubby melodic slow-motion groovers. Get on the bass for a relaxed ride and maybe you want to enjoy the whole compilation on clear-cut-records.
k-jano - "evolution" (no-response)
On "evolution" you find three tracks. All tracks are nice, but the title-track is the real hammer. "evolution" is a sunny tune with a melodic grooves and a trance-feeling. You can trip on this track the whole day and cool down after a busy day. Check out the whole EP at the Techno-House Netlabel no-response.
Leavemotte - Steps for Kids (Ne Rnx Mix)
Fragment Music from Russia is one of the well-designed website. I like the colors and the technical look of the website. The sound is similiar: clear, techy and well-produced. One of my favorite tracks to date is still the wonderful TechHouse Remix for Leavemotte done be Ne Rnx. The production of "Step for Kids" is melodic, deep and very groovy for a TechHouse-production.

Hi Dan,
Welcome to Healing Well A negative spinal tap doesnt necessarily mean you don't have MS, but there are certain criteria that need to be met before a diagnosis can be made. Here's an article with the criteria that might explain things a bit better for you.
It is good that you are seeking out other possibilities, there really are so many illnesses that can mimic MS and sometimes it can take a while to figure it all out so try to hang in there. Fibromyalgia and diabetes are some other conditions you could check out too. I do hope you start to feel better soon, let us know how things go.

With yet another winter weather system heading our way – I figured I needed to make a big pot of soup. Also with the fluctuation in temperatures – the last of my root vegetables need to be used – since I use the screened porch as my root cellar. I had a great borscht this week and thought I should try making one – since I had most of the ingredients handy. A quick run to the store for some cabbage and I was ready to go.
I figured the soup would not take long to get on the stove to cook and simmer, but I was mistaken. I kept one knife with me – but it is not a big one and the knives at the rental house not so good – even after spending some time attempting to sharpen! Stella's cousins were with us for the day and they all wanted to go and climb this big rock in the field across the way. I told them we could go for a walk and attempt the rock climbing after I got the soup on. They were quite patient with me.
Vegetarian Borscht
2 – 3 large beets, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 1/2 onions sliced and diced
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 parsnip, peeled and cut into matchsticks
2 – 3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 Tbl olive oil
1 1/2 – 2 cup cabbage, shredded
4 – 5 cups of vegetable broth/stock
1 cup of water
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Wash and prepare all your vegetables.
2. Heat the broth in a saucepan to a boil.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot and add all the vegetables except the cabbage. Saute until soft.
4. Add the broth, water and cabbage and simmer for about 25 minutes.
5. Serve with some shredded beets on top, some sour cream, cheese, creme fraiche or naked.

The Wits fees protest has been hailed as a defining moment in South African higher education, after the university suspended its proposed 10.5 percent increase in student fees for next year and signed an agreement with students for new negotiations in this regard.
This protest has also caught on at Stellenbosch University, Rhodes University as well as University of Cape Town, where students are now protesting fee increases. (Read more about this here)
Cape Talk/ 702's Stephen Grootes explores the latest in the nationwide protests, as well as the plans put in place by the Department of Education to address these ongoing issues around educational fees.
Listen to the conversation below:
How a students uprising suspended a university's fee increase
John Robbie spoke to outgoing SRC leader, Shaeera Kalla, about their victorious protest that led to an agreement with the university to suspend the proposed fee increase.
John also spoke Wits University Head of Communications, Shirona Patel about what the university will do, now that their increase has had to be suspended.
This article first appeared on 702 : Wits protest leader: If fee increase is not rectified, we will continue

Innovation is all about ecosystems. Ideas in Tauranga often begin in labs and tertiary institutions, before gradually making their way into the world as businesses.
Toi Ohomai is one of those tertiary providers, and it was born when Waiariki Institute of Technology in Rotorua and Bay of Plenty Polytechnic merged in 2016.
Areas of research interest can be inspired by local events, like looking into the ongoing effects of the 2011 Rena oil spill on the local marine environment.
"We've conducted strong social research in this area. One of the things I did in collaboration with researchers at the University of Waikato after the Rena was to look at the whole volunteer programme. We investigated the effectiveness of it and what it was actually like for the volunteers themselves," manager of Pacific Coast Research Centre Heather Hamerton says.
The university has since been asked to build on that research by the Council in response to the flooding events at Edgecumbe.
Another interesting project originating out of Toi Ohomai's new degree in Community Health is what's happening with end-of-life care for gay, lesbian and transgender people, Hamerton says.
"We've designed an intervention and trialled and researched it with a hospice, but it's quite a hard thing to do because social attitudes are quite difficult to change. This area of research is quite new – nobody else anywhere in the world has done much research work on this, so we're wanting to build on it and go onto bigger things."
Top notch
New Zealand athletes that will be competing in high altitude or hot climates no longer have to head overseas before they see how they perform under pressure.
The University of Waikato Adams Centre for High Performance opened in Mount Maunganui's Blake Park in 2016, with an environmental chamber that can be set to specific heats, humidities and altitudes.
National teams like the Black Ferns and NZ Rugby 7s teams have travelled to the Bay to test out their skills within the chamber, which can reach up to 5,000 metres in altitude, 40 degrees Celsius and 100 percent humidity.
Researcher Stacy Sims says what sets the Adams Centre apart is the research team behind it that can assist with findings.
"It's akin to an Olympic training centre with the biology angle, strength-conditioning angle, nutrition angle, so it's about getting that extra two to three percent performance out," Sims says.
"In a typical gym, you might have a programme or go do your own thing. Here you have the best of the newest science through the collaboration with the University of Waikato, so you're merging sports science into the applied world."
For those who are more wary of using high-performance technology, she says the Adams Centre provides the research to reassure them.
"It's more the coaches that say, 'It's a lot of science, we're not sure,' so it's about breaking through that and showing scientific proof of theory so that it's going to improve the athletic performance rather than hinder it."
Getting a slice
Another local company that specialises in using research to solve tough technological challenges is Cucumber, which helps companies deal with any business, marketing, sales and technology issues they're facing.
At the forefront of a 40-person team is general manager Clare Swallow, who says Cucumber is unique because it is extremely research led, and looks in depth into solving the core problem at hand before it starts building a solution.
"People say what they want, but what they need is often really different," Swallow says. "We do an empathy piece around what's needed from a customer's perspective, as opposed to being constrained by starting with the technology part."
One of the businesses Cucumber has worked with is Independent Stevedoring Limited (ISL), which is a key service provider for the Port of Tauranga. ISL wanted to build an application that could optimise its log-loading process at the port, creating more efficiency and speed.
Cucumber conducted a thorough research process before building the app by going down to the port and talking to all those involved with the process so they could understand the problem inside and out.
It came up with a log-scanning application to replace the outdated sign off process that was used before it. The app tracks logs right through the supply chain to the customer via scanning, to the point where it shows the customer which vessel the logs have been loaded onto.
Swallow says the beauty of the Tauranga region is that the people and businesses are very interconnected and open to working together.
"We're part of a bigger picture by sharing ideas locally – it's a really connected town."
Idealog has been covering the most interesting people, businesses and issues from the fields of innovation, design, technology and urban development for over 12 years. And we're asking for your support so we can keep telling those stories, inspire more entrepreneurs to start their own businesses and keep pushing New Zealand forward. Give over $5 a month and you will not only be supporting New Zealand innovation, but you'll also receive a print subscription and a copy of the new book by David Downs and Dr. Michelle Dickinson, No. 8 Recharged (while stocks last).
Idealog is part of ICG. We work with clients like Woolworths New Zealand, All Good, Huffer, Liquorland, Resene, Citta Design, TVNZ, Spark and FCB on their event activations, in-store, in-office or out-of-home signage, content creation and vehicle wraps.

International support is of great importance to Vietnam national liberation struggle and development
Don Tuan Phong, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations (Photo: VNA)
Foreign funding and experience in socio-economic development, poverty reduction, disaster response, and environmental protection have contributed to Vietnam's evolution into a modern industrial country.
In the last more than three decades of renewal and international integration, Vietnam has gained numerous socio-economic achievements and become a lower middle income country.
This success is attributed to the assistance of foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs), who continued to offer funding to Vietnam even though it is no longer on the priority list for international aid at the time it became a lower middle income country.
Effective assistance in the new period
According to Don Tuan Phong, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations, foreign funding helped Vietnam address challenges in international integration: healthcare, education, agriculture, rural development, the environment, and climate change response.
Phong told VOV,"Vietnam welcomed more new foreign NGOs in 2017 than in previous years, outnumbering the NGOs that ended operations. Their total disbursement was quite large. 2017 was the final year of Vietnam's 5-year Program on mobilizing foreign aids from NGOs and we achieved all the set targets".
In the last 5 years, foreign NGOs provided Vietnam more than US$1.5 billion to help the country overcome war aftermath, improve community health, control diseases, protect the environment, increase education and healthcare, and respond to climate change.
Foreign NGOs assist Vietnam's development
With the motto "Vietnam is a friend and reliable partner of the international community", Vietnam is expanding its network of thousands of partners and foreign NGOs across the globe, 600 of them maintaining regular operations in Vietnam.
These organizations have helped promote Vietnam's land, people, and culture, and its policies on religion, democracy, human rights, and territorial integrity.
Marsha Four, Vice President of the Vietnam Veterans of America, credited people-to-people diplomacy for the flourishing Vietnam-US cooperation. She said during a recent trip to Vietnam: "That is the way for better understanding because there are many differences between east and west. I believe that it's through people-to-people conversations and work, this effort will provide us hope. And it's also a very good lesson to the world in general that this kind of thing can happen and work."
Padhihari Bijay Kumar, Secretary General of the Indian Society for Cultural Cooperation and Friendship, and Mr. Phong sign a cooperative agreement. (Photo: A.B)
Padhihari Bijay Kumar, Secretary General of the Indian Society for Cultural Cooperation and Friendship, said during his trip to Vietnam last year: "We're sure and pleased to stand by the people of Vietnam at any situation. Therefore, we will make our friendship and cooperation an all-round development".
President Ho Chi Minh once said international solidarity and support are always important to Vietnam in any circumstance. Amid challenges to Vietnam, it enables Vietnam to disseminate its policies, gain trust of other countries, and create a favorable environment for national construction and defense.

Unique signed vintage drawing. Andy Warhol signed and drew his iconic "Campbell's Soup Can" on the cover of the September 1978 issue of Interview, from the estate of model John Williams. The cover features a photograph of Berinthia "Berry" Berenson Perkins (1948-2001) taken by her husband, actor Anthony Perkins (1932-1992). Tragically, Berenson, a model and photographer, was aboard American Airlines Flight 11 on the morning of September 11, 2001. She was killed when the flight crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center. The issue is from the estate of model John Williams, a longtime friend of Warhols. The pair collaborated of the "The Original Andy Warhol Button Button" in the mid to late 1960s. The two came up with the idea of a "Button Button" together during the craze for political buttons in the 1960s. The central idea was to make a political pin that looked like a clothes button. The two were to partner on the idea and Andy designed it, though the button never went into mass production.
Please check out our other listings and FOLLOW us on Artsy:

(magazine measurements) Light even toning to magazine, else fine condition and most important the unique Warhol drawing is in fine condition.
Estate of model John Williams
Obsessed with celebrity, consumer culture, and mechanical (re)production, Pop artist Andy Warhol created some of the most iconic images of the 20th century. As famous for his quips as for his art—he variously mused that "art is what you can get away with" and "everyone will be famous for 15 minutes"—Warhol drew widely from popular culture and everyday subject matter, creating works like his 32 Campbell's Soup Cans (1962), Brillo pad box sculptures, and portraits of Marilyn Monroe, using the medium of silk-screen printmaking to achieve his characteristic hard edges and flat areas of color. Known for his cultivation of celebrity, Factory studio (a radical social and creative melting pot), and avant-garde films like Chelsea Girls (1966), Warhol was also a mentor to artists like Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. His Pop sensibility is now standard practice, taken up by major contemporary artists Richard Prince, Takashi Murakami, and Jeff Koons, among countless others.

Manchester, Great Manchester United Kingdom (PressExposure) February 10, 2011 -- PRIME is the only charity in the UK aimed at helping older people to set up their own business as a way of getting back to work. Established by Prince Charles as a sister charity to The Prince's Trust, PRIME helps the growing number of people in the 50+ age group who need to continue working, or get back into work after losing their job, by helping them to set up their own businesses. "Being a small charity, we don't have the resources to do everything we'd like to do," confirms Ian Stobie, Marketing and PR Manager for PRIME. "We have a huge amount of useful material on our website and publicising the web address on the side of these cotton bags has been a fantastic way to spread the word. We've traditionally bought printed pens from 4imprint but are definitely considering buying cotton bags in the future as they've proved to be so popular," he continues.
The Outward Bound Trust, the leading UK charity working in experiential learning for young people, also received 100 cotton bags which they use as a thank you present for their supporters. "Having purchased balloons and other promotional items from 4imprint, a colleague was speaking to one of the sales team there who mentioned the Helping Hand programme to her" says Laura Watson, Events Co-ordinator at The Outward Bound Trust. "We applied and were delighted to receive 100 free cotton bags imprinted with our logo". Established in 1941, The Outward Bound Trust provides learning and development opportunities through adventures in the wild to young people via their school or youth group.
When serial fundraiser Peter Jenkins was looking for a company to donate items that could be used to promote The Grace Allen Fund, the Helping Hand programme came up on a Google search. He applied and received 100 cotton bags which were initially handed out at a Santa run and are now being used at other fundraising events. "Every little bit helps when you're a fundraiser," says Peter Jenkins "so finding a company like 4imprint who are operating this charity scheme is an absolute breath of fresh air and they should be recognised and rewarded for their generosity and innovativeness" he continues. The Fund, named after 4-year old Grace Allen who has cerebral palsy, is currently raising £10k for a communications device which will greatly enhance Grace's daily life.
"Since launching the Helping Hand programme last summer we've received a growing number of applications each month. Our aim is to help as many good causes as we can with a small order of promotional products which they can then use to raise funds or awareness for their cause," says Cheryl Jackson-Leafield, Marketing Manager 4imprint UK and Ireland. "Over the coming months there are T-shirts, umbrellas, wristbands and trolley coin keyrings up for grabs and we invite charitable organisations to apply when they see an offer that appeals to them."
