Saint Joseph's Hawk and 2016 Atlantic 10 Player of the Year, DeAndre' Bembry, has declared for the NBA Draft and he's not looking back.
The junior forward released a statement today through the Philadelphia Daily news stating, "I have officially declared for the draft, and I've signed with an agent. This decision was extremely difficult, but at this point I want to focus all of my attention on the next phase of my basketball career and I'm ready to take this step."
He added, "St. Joe's has been absolutely awesome and I'll always love the fans, players, and coaching staff. Coach [Phil] Martelli and his staff have been absolutely great for me but now it's time to start this new chapter. I appreciate all the love and support so much and definitely hope it continues in the future. The NBA has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, and now that it's within reach, I plan on taking full advantage of the opportunity."
Bembry averaged 17.4 points and 7.8 rebounds this season, just behind a surprising performance from senior Isaiah Miles, but was the Hawks most balanced player, leading the team with 4.5 assists and 1.4 steals per game.
The Charlotte, NC native was a All-Conference First Team selection as a sophomore and has been a part of two A-10 tournament championship teams.
Bembry is currently projected as the No.32 overall pick by DraftExpress.com, so figures to fall somewhere in between the late first to middle of the second round in this June's draft.
His early departure leaves a massive hole in Saint Joseph's 2016-17 roster for Martelli to fill. The Hawks will now lose Bembry alongside All-Conference Second Team selection Miles, as well as fellow seniors Aaron Brown and Papa Ndao. The foursome accounted four roughly 66% of the Hawks' scoring this season and will now bid adieu to all three of SJU's double-digit scorers from this year's championship team.
The last time Saint Joseph's lost three double-digit scorers came in 2014 after the trio of Langston Galloway, Ronald Roberts Jr. and Halil Kanacevic graduated following the Hawks' A-10 Tournament Championship that season. SJU won 24 games during 2013-14 before falling to eventual national champ UConn in overtime in the first round of the NCAA tournament. They followed that season with a 13-18 record and a 10th-place A-10 finish before bouncing back big-time this past season.

Some great news on the Fairness at Work campaign. Heather Smith, the pharmacy worker who was sacked unfairly under the 90 day fire at will law and featured in a recent advert for the campaign has won a CTU-backed case against her employer in the Employment Court.
The court found that Heather's employer was in breach of the contracting requirements of the ERA and that the employer's failure to treat her in good faith or to comply with her employment agreement gave her grounds for compensation for the way she was treated.
This is great news for Heather and a big public win for the CTU that will encourage other workers to challenge unfair treatment. But unfortunately it won't create any landmark precedents for other workers, as the court found that Heather's employer failed to live up to its general employment responsibilities under the ERA – not that there were secret work rights hidden away somewhere in the 90 day law as the Nats appear to be suggesting.
Still, good to see an exploited and dumped on worker get justice and for her shitty employers to get the kicking they deserve. Now we just need to get rid of this law. You can sign up here.
Totally irrelavant. The 90 day law is for new workers at a job, not current workers after a takeover of the business..
The new employer in this case was wrong to do what they did as it was not the right thing under law.
So the union is talking complete nonsense.
just checking zimmer.
The employer tried to sack her on what it claimed was the 90 day period? Yes. And that sacking was found to be illegal? Yes.
And if she had actually been sacked until the 90 day period would she have had any right to contest the legality of that sacking in court? No.
So, her situation would have been worse thanks to 90 days and it was only the old law and the rights it gave her that saved her? Yes.
Actually, there are aspects of the judgement that suggest the 90 day law has actually made it harder to fire workers legally. Ignorant employers who rely on it solely to dismiss workers are now more likely to find themselves done on technicalities. Bonus!
No surprise, really. Wilkinson doesn't seem to have got her head around the good faith aspects of the law at all. They're still there and they still count.
So lets get this right, the CTU backed case is claiming a victory against misuse of the 90 day trail period because in one example (other cases are pending) one clumsy employer misused the trial period to dismiss existing staff in a takeover.
OK, great… anyone working in a company where an ownership change occurs will now continue to be sacked under Labour's law and that was apparently fine while Labour were in office. Bet a lot of union membership fee payers are chuffed the lawyers spent this much money on misleading advertising for the union.
"sacked"? No.
"Redundancy payout"? Yes.
"Good faith"? Required.
"Unfairly sacked without good faith within 90 days if employed to a new position"? Enabled by the NACTs.
Another own goal by the unions. Come on put up or shut up about abuses. Still a relatively deafening silence after 15 months
You righties constantly cry and whine about getting banned from here despite the fact you get warnings and are told why you've been banned. Hell sometime you even get to make a case and have a ban lifted.
Losing your job is a lot worse than being banned from the standard and yet you will blithely dismiss the rights of workers to a fair process while wailing and moaning about the very fair process you get here.
IB handed you your metaphoric butt on a plate right there. You're a hypocrite Fisi.
Here's a link for you fizzy.
The link is to an article about a case of the 90 day law being abused by an unscrupulous employer.
p.s. you need some new lines. Key stopped saying that a few weeks ago when the CTU started putting up.
First observation about this video story is that the woman didn\'t get a clear statement of intent from the new employer regarding the stability of her postion. Not her fault entirely, and definately not fair, but assumptions based on emotional reactions aren\'t really a sensible strategy for life. Changing deceitful employers is difficult. Changing yourself, much easier. But now this woman knows that. But I have another question not related to her story too:
90 day trials are arrived at by agreement, yes? So why not refuse them? Move on to another employer who doesn\'t require one? Sure there is the obvious answer of desperation, but how does getting fired a day or a week later help desperation? As yet there is no law saying a person must accept a contract under duress. Job seekers have more power than they believe. If disabling the 90 day trial law is the unions intent, they\'d be better off educating people how to communicate clearly, rather than outlining stories of situations that went bad. Life isn\'t fair. So what. We know that already.

Sure, in a non-recession period that might actually work, however, we're in a recession _and_ some employers are douchebags who'll fire you for the smallest of things, or just because your beliefs don't mesh with theirs, or like me, you have mostly treated long term depression. As for life not being "fair", yes, shit happens, but the one of the points of law and the welfare system is to reduce the impact of life's little and not so little fuck ups, and even the playing field, so all that are able to can participate in society. Not that it works out perfectly mind you, if you're not male, you're still paid 20% less on average for the same job, and if pregnant and not in a major city, you can expect a bloody long drive to get an abortion.
Also, even in a non-recession period, the 90 day hire a fire law does lend itself towards abuse, and also is demoralising to former staff, who get no notice as to why they were fired, which from experience is rather frustrating.
"Changing deceitful employers is difficult. Changing yourself, much easier. "
WTF? Why does she need to change herself? She's the victim not the villain…
"Sure there is the obvious answer of desperation, but how does getting fired a day or a week later help desperation?"
Clearly you've never been unemployed… No one who accepts a "90 day trial" believes she will actually be dumped. The worst part of it is that when she is, she'll never know why!
Don't assume my historical circumstances, Vicky. My point is that she is not a victim while she persues her own solutions. Victimhood is a self-fulfilling prophesy. No one is a victim till they believe they are. No one else can change her victim status, but her. She doesn't need other people to tell her why she was fired (even if they did, and didn't tell the truth, or didn't fully know themselves it wouldn't help) If she's concerned about why things happen she needs to examine her motivations and question their value. Same for everyone regardless of socio-economic status.
I've uploaded a copy of the judgment over at frogblog, for those who are interested in reading it. It is a huge win against those employers who think the fire at will law allows them to abandon all proper procedure with new employees.
I suspect Kate Wilkinson will be spitting tacks and mumbling about an "activist judiciary", but I think it is a great judgment.
I suspect Kate Wilkinson will be spitting tacks and mumbling about an "activist judiciary', but I think it is a great judgment.
She has evidence to be concerned. Chief Judge Colgan\'s judgement challenges her intention that the 90 day law tilts the balance back towards employers. See conclusions on page 24, [82]; and judgement pg34 [120] and judgement [122]; which pretty much rams the point of Good Faith and Fair and Reasonable, home. To quote one part:
\"…It did so [the employer refusing explanation] soley because it thought it was entitled to act…\"
August 24, 2010, was the day the judiciary enforced good sense on destructive political populism.
NickS Valid points. But if I can use your argument reinvented as a hypothetical person:
They know there\'s a recession on
They know some employers are D/bags
They know they have depression and are treating it
They know life isn\'t fair
They know they want to participate and can contribute
They know some of the hurdles of location and culture
They know their personal tendencies
Isn't 3/4 of the work done? Awareness is a valuable advantage.

- Bitcoin price is down roughly 10% and it broke the key $9,000 support against the US Dollar.
- The price is currently consolidating losses below $9,000 and it could continue to slide.
- There was a break below a crucial breakout pattern with support near $10,140 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Coinbase).
- The pair is likely to break the $8,150 and $8,000 support levels to extend its decline in the near term.
Bitcoin price is back in a downtrend below $9,000 against the US Dollar. BTC is likely to face a strong resistance near $9,000 and $9,350 if it attempts to recover.
Bitcoin Price Analysis
This past week, bitcoin price struggled to rise above the $10,300 resistance against the US Dollar. As a result, the BTC/USD pair started a solid decline below the $10,000 support. Furthermore, there was a close below the $10,000 support and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). More importantly, there was a break below a crucial breakout pattern with support near $10,140 on the 4-hours chart.
It opened the doors for more downsides below $9,800. This week, the price resumed its decline after a minor upside correction to $10,380. It broke many supports near $9,600 and $9,350 to enter a bearish zone. Moreover, there was a break below the $9,000 and $8,500 supports. A new monthly low was formed near $8,169 and the price is currently consolidating losses.
It tested the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last major decline from the $10,380 high to $8,169 low. On the upside, there are many hurdles near the $8,800 and $9,000 levels. The main resistance is near the $9,300 level. It coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the last major decline from the $10,380 high to $8,169 low. Moreover, there is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $9,750 on the same chart.
Therefore, an upward move towards the $9,000 and $9,300 levels is likely to face a strong selling interest. The current price action suggests more downsides below the $8,500 level. It seems like the price may even break the $8,169 low and the $8,000 handle in the coming sessions.
Looking at the chart, bitcoin price is now trading in a downtrend below $9,000. In the short term, there could be upsides and recovery, but the bulls are likely to struggle near $9,000 and $9,350. Only a daily close above $9,350 might decrease the current selling pressure.
Technical indicators
4 hour MACD - The MACD is gaining momentum in the bearish zone.
4 hour RSI (Relative Strength Index) - The RSI is currently in the oversold area.
Key Support Levels - $8,160 and $8,000.

Civil Resilience Network
Executive Summary
This document offers a conceptual framework for boosting Israel's local and national resilience. It calls for consolidating a Civil Resilience Network comprising thousands of units (nodes) that have embraced a culture of preparedness and thus have basic core capacities to respond to a crisis effectively, independently and collaboratively.
The objective of the resilience network is to make a decisive contribution to Israel's successful response to national crises, when a majority of the population in many areas is exposed to severe danger and shortages.
The Civil Resilience Network can be consolidated quickly and at very low costs. Most of its components already exist and most of the required resources are readily available within its potential units.
Furthermore, this resilience network should yield many other benefits to Israeli society by strengthening local communities, improving response to local challenges and crises, enhancing social cohesion and thus contributing to quality of life.
The Second Lebanon War (7/06) exposed many weaknesses in Israel's national security strategy. Israel's enemies focused their resources on attacking Israel's home front, however this front has been regarded by Israel as secondary in importance to the point that it was neglected.
Following this war, Israel's emergency preparedness has been remarkably overhauled: The Ministry of Defense was assigned with overall responsibility for the home front, resources were allocated and emergency authorities were trained and their standard operating procedures were updated.
Operation Cast Lead (1/09) demonstrated evident and significant improvement in the functioning of Israel's emergency authorities.
Nonetheless, it is widely agreed that the relative success on the home front during Operation Cast Lead does indicate that Israel is prepared for national crisis, primarily due to the limited scope of the area and population that were under attack.
Turning Point 3, the recent national emergency exercise (6/09), simulated a national crisis with full participation of all emergency authorities. However, the manner of involvement of the civilian population in this exercise left a troubling concern that Israel continues to lack an adequate responses to such crises.
Therefore, this document deals with two main challenges: the place of the home front in Israel's national security strategy and the preparedness for national crises.
The Place of the Home Front Arena in Israel's National Security Strategy:
The Need for 'Synchronized Victories' and National Resilience
Israel has viewed the military front as almost exclusively decisive for its national victory in times of military conflicts. However the impact of the home front on the overall outcome of such engagements has been increasing to the point where it may be of equal importance. In other words, Israel's success on this front may be a precondition for Israel's victory in future conflicts.
Consequently, this document calls for reformulating Israel's national security strategy based on the concept of 'Synchronized Victories', which assumes that our national victory will be consolidated on several interconnected and interdependent fronts: the military front, diplomacy, media and the home front (which is the subject of this conceptual framework).
Hence, Israel must define criteria for success on the home front and work towards meeting them.
Resilience is the foundation of success on the home front. It is the ability to transcend a crisis by adapting to dramatically changed conditions, , securing basic quality of life for individuals and communities, and
National resilience emerges out of bottom-up resilience of individuals, households, communities, businesses and organizations, as well as top-down resilience of public institutions and a sense of purpose and leadership. Foundations of national resilience are consolidated before a crisis and immediately following one – on the 'day after', and are tested in the immediate response to a crisis and in its duration.
The Challenge of a National Crisis
Israel remains unprepared for national crisis in spite of the dramatic overhaul of its emergency authorities since the Second Lebanon War (7/06). In such a crisis there will be a dramatic gap between the needs and the expectations of the population, on the one hand, and the capacities and resources of the emergency authorities, on the other hand.
This gap could lead to collapses in some areas in the form of breakdown of social norms, law and order, mass disobedience and loss of trust among citizens and local and national authorities. Such a collapse would deny Israel success on the home front and consequently also national victory in military confrontations.
The reason for this gap is a set of tacit and explicit working assumptions that underlie Israel's present crisis preparedness, which are misaligned with reality. Primarily, while emergency response is considered a 'public product', which must be provided by the government, in reality there is a dramatic shortage of resources and capacities.
At the same time, there are tremendous resources in Israeli society – many thousands of individuals, households, organizations and businesses – that are readily available and could easily be mobilized to contribute to local and national resilience. But, they are not.
Conceptual Framework
National Security
The objective of the resilience network is to make a decisive contribution to Israel's successful response to national crises, when a majority of the population in many areas is exposed to severe danger and shortages.

UN envoy meets Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi
A UN envoy met Myanmar's detained democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi and leaders of the ruling junta Sunday, as he tried to broker an end to a bloody crackdown on anti-government protests.
Ibrahim Gambari met with Aung San Suu Kyi for more than an hour, the UN said in a statement. The rare encounter, seen as a sign of intense pressure on the regime, took place at a government guest house in the main city of Yangon. [complete article]
As they marched through the streets of Myanmar's cities last week leading the biggest antigovernment protests in two decades, some barefoot monks held their begging bowls before them. But instead of asking for their daily donations of food, they held the bowls upside down, the black lacquer surfaces reflecting the light.
It was a shocking image in the devoutly Buddhist nation. The monks were refusing to receive alms from the military rulers and their families — effectively excommunicating them from the religion that is at the core of Burmese culture.
That gesture is a key to understanding the power of the rebellion that shook Myanmar last week. [complete article]
How Junta stemmed a saffron tide
The military crackdown on Burma's monk-led opposition has emptied the streets and removed hope of regime change… for now. But dissent continues to seep out via the internet and from the army rank and file [complete article]
The people need the world to speak as one in its support
The UN's special envoy, Ibrahim Gambari, has arrived in Burma. It is not his first visit, but it needs to be more successful than the previous ones. It must result in a dialogue involving the junta, the opposition democracy movement led by Aung San Suu Kyi, and other ethnic leaders. Such talks are the key.
If parts of the international community feel powerless, they shouldn't. All that the people of Burma are asking of them is to speak with one voice. If this junta has survived for the past 19 years maltreating its people, it is partly because it has exploited international divisions. [complete article]

Completed in 2018 by Gluckman Tang, La Jolla Guest House is a cast-in-place concrete guest house that acts serves as a pool pavilion and guest quarters. This guest house is situated on a lot with an existing spec-house with 1,200 SF in size. It is designed with a simple form and basic materials that complement the main house.
A series of retaining walls and a floating concrete stair in this guest house connect the main house with the guest house and a pool deck that situated several feet below the existing house. For this new connection, a rock ledge is exposed to create an organic edge to the concrete pool deck. Fire pits, concrete tables, an outdoor kitchen counter, and retaining walls that double as benches are other concrete elements in this project.
This guest house form is conceived as two concrete "boxes", linked by trellis and a slatted wood roof. The concrete boxes contain a bathroom and bedroom on the east while the bathroom, laundry, and mudroom are located on the west side. These boxes frame large open spaces, housing a kitchenette, dining table, and living area.
On the north and south facades, the glazed pockets doors frame the stunning views of the landscape and allow the interior spaces to be opened to the outdoors, connecting the guest house to the terraced patio and pool deck, The terraced patio is carved into the site's slope.
The board-formed concrete walls are tinted to correlate with the existing main house's warm stucco. A nod to the hipped roofs of the main house is the inverted hipped roof with a low profile that minimizes the visual impact to the project site.
A continuous trellis to the south is formed by the slatted wood ceiling that extends out while an outdoor kitchen and lounge with fireplace are located under it. There is also a matching wood trellis installed at a new concrete patio that adjacent to the main house and completing a continuous sequence of outdoor spaces.

Sirtuins are a family of seven proteins that help regulate numerous cellular functions, including inflammation, circadian rhythms, energy metabolism, and neuronal function. (1) The way sirtuins impact physiological processes is key to longevity.
Sirtuins Role in Healthy Aging
If your body is the "car," sirtuins are the "driver." Like increasing speed or pumping the brakes, sirtuins drive numerous functions in the body. NAD+ acts as "gasoline" for sirtuins, fueling them to properly carry out their vital roles.
Just as a sharp driver and sufficient gasoline ensure that a car drives well over the long haul, optimal sirtuin activity and NAD+ levels may optimize lifespan and increase healthspan, or the number of years we live in good health.
How Sirtuins Affect Longevity Pathways
- During a primary age-influencing process called histone deacetylation, sirtuins remove small chemical groups from pearl-shaped, DNA-wrapping proteins called histones. This core sirtuin activity promotes genome stability, ensuring that genes are expressed correctly. When gene expression is controlled cells no longer waste energy and raw materials synthesizing unneeded proteins. This allows cells to be more efficient and versatile as conditions change in the body.
- Sirtuins also deacetylate protein complexes involved in regulating inflammation, glycemic control, and mitochondrial function. (2)
- Sirtuins can "detect" cellular energy states by responding to the physiological-free concentration of NAD+.(3) Declining levels of NAD+ profoundly impact the aging process, so simultaneous upregulation of NAD+ and sirtuins is key for supporting a healthy aging process.

Pool Lighting Tips & Tricks
Your pool is a perfect place in your home for entertaining, exercise or simply relaxing. When the sun sets, a creatively lit pool adds an extra dimension of ambiance and beauty. Functionally, pool lighting is a must for safe night time swimming. While lighting a pool is essential for safety, it doesn't mean that you have to settle for boring. With a little creativity and help from Art Plumbing, AC & Electric, your swimming pool lighting can transform your entire outdoor area after dark.
5 Ways To Light Your Pool
Here is a list of Art's favorite ways to light your pool…
Color That Glows
A colored bulb or lens in your pool light is a simple way to change the mood of your outdoor space, flooding the area in the color of your choice. You don't have to limit yourself to a single light, or even just one color. Gone are the days of lighting being purely functional. Our Art Plumbing, Air Conditioning & Electric lighting technicians will work with you to create a breathtaking multi-layered light scene that will match the ambiance you want to create. Colored lighting can also be matched to the color of your event, or enhance the mood you would like to create.
Divide & Color
Instead of layering the lighting in your pool, you can use different colors to highlight each separate section. For example, the stairs, kiddie pool, or seating area can all be lit up in their own color which will complement the overall look of the pool, yet still lend an individual atmosphere to each area.
Staying Afloat
If you need a quick solution to a dimly lit pool area or want to light an above-ground pool, floating lights might be the ideal choice for your pool area. When selecting your floating pool lights, make sure you find ones that are properly waterproof and well constructed that won't break easily.
Out, Not In: Paving Lighting
Additional lighting around your pool goes a long way to prevent accidents and injuries from slipping or tripping. Pathway lights along the edge of your pool area will make night-time swimming much safer. Not to mention, it also looks pretty darn cool.
Up & Over: Hanging Lights
Hanging lights such as string lights, or bistro lights are a quick way to add a festive feel to an outdoor area. You can use them to provide light for walkways, your pool area, and your patio. They can be strung up in any shape or pattern and are a flexible, short term solution for a special occasion.
5 Top Pool Lighting Tips
Here is a list of Art's favorite pool lighting tips…
Don't Limit Yourself To One Light
A single light installed in the deep end is pretty standard for most pool installations, but there's no reason to limit yourself to one. Depending on the size of the pool, multiple lights can be installed that will change the look of your pool and the surroundings at the flick of the switch.
Aim Lights Strategically For Effect
To eliminate shadows, use two lights opposite each other. This will remove light-banding and give your pool a flawless glow.
Aim Lights For Comfort
Avoid positioning lights that shine directly at seating areas so as not to shine in people's eyes.
The Effect Of Pool Color
There is a vast array of pool lining and tiling colors available to choose from when installing a pool. You will need to adjust your lighting design according to the color of your pool. Lighter colors reflect light, giving you an overall brighter effect. Darker colors absorb the light, dulling the glow and giving a dimmer, muted effect. Matching your pool lighting to the interior lighting of your home can also create a soothing symmetry.
Good Quality Pool Lighting Is An Investment Worth Making
Getting the best quality lighting possible right from the start is a smart way of avoiding the extra expense of repairs, replacements or upgrades in the future.
Transform Your Outdoors Using Creative Pool Lighting
Your imagination and an electrician from Art Plumbing, Air Conditioning & Electrical is the perfect choice to show off your outdoor area in a whole new light. From automatic light sensors to complete outdoor lighting installations and light landscaping, we've got what you need. Call Art today at 1-800-475-1504 for all your outdoor lighting needs.

An Air Waybill number often referred to as an AWB tracking number, is a unique code that is displayed on a document that will travel with all goods shipped with an international air courier. The purpose of the AWB number is to provide all the relevant information about the shipment and most importantly, allow it to be tracked.
The AWB will inform all of the various actors involved in the transportation of the parcel (such as the handlers involved in dispatch and receiving the package) of specific information relevant for its handling.
The AWB is also a shorthand code that can reveal the package sender's name and address, the receiver's name, and delivery address.
An AWB can also tell you which airport the parcel was dispatched from, the declared value of the shipment (for customs purposes), the number of individual pieces contained in the order, its total weight, a description of the contents, and any special notes. (such as that the contents are perishable). AWB can be issued by many marketplaces or couriers, including eBay, Etsy, TNT and FedEx.
An AWB tracking number will vary depending on the carrier managing the delivery of your parcel. However, they usually follow the same general pattern, which is broken down into three points below:
In general, an AWB tracking number will generally have around 11 characters. Thankfully, you don't need to be able to interpret your AWB tracking number in order to be able to track your parcel. Ship24 has an in-built automatic detection system that means when it reads any AWB tracking number, it automatically recognizes the courier and scans the appropriate websites to find the latest tracking information on your package. Whether you receive a tracking number or an AWB tracking code, just copy and paste it into the Ship24 homepage to begin tracking your parcel universally, with thousands of different couriers and e-commerce sellers.
In effect, an AWB acts as both a receipt of goods provided by an airline (carrier) and a contract between the shipper and the carrier. An AWB is a legal agreement, which becomes enforceable when the shipper and carrier both sign the document.
An AWB number is recognition of the agreement on the carrier's terms and conditions, including claims procedures and liability limits, applicable charges, and a description of the contents of the package being moved.
Please note: AWB numbers can also be known as air consignment notes.
An airway bill or AWB will be used wherever it is needed to accompany the shipment of goods by an international courier.
To find your AWB number or to track an AWB number, simply enter your AWB number onto the global shipment tracking website Ship24's homepage and begin tracking your package worldwide with one of the most comprehensive shipment tracking tools available. Ship24 doesn't need any personal or parcel information, just enter your AWB tracking number on to the Ship24 website to get every step of your parcel's journey so far, the carrier it is with as well as its current location and status at the click of a button.
An air waybill (AWB) does not cover the merchandise value inside the contents of the parcel, which is known as a non-negotiable contract. This is different to other bills of lading which have more specific requirements built into their contacts, such as which airline or transportation method should be used and when, and what date the delivery will be made.
Please note, different bills of lading are still legal documents between the sender of shipments and carriers, but they may detail other information and have different requirements involved in the legal contract which the document represents. This may or may not include the type, quantity, and destination of the goods being carried.
The International Air Transport Association is responsible for producing and distributing AWB numbers, with a number of requirements necessary for them to be given.
The requirements needed would be the inclusion of the airline's name, headquarters, logo and specific unique waybill number.
AWBs and bills of lading are part of the shipping process, and they are used to help shippers and recipients track packages as they are in transit. All packages that are sent as registered mail can be tracked with Ship24. Ship24 has helped thousands of individuals and businesses track millions of parcels worldwide whether individually through our main page or with our professional tracking API and premium tracking webhook functionality.
You can track your Amazon delivery by logging in to the Amazon website and going to the Your Orders page. Once on this page, click on the Track Package option and you will be taken to a tracking page, where your unique AWB tracking number will be displayed. Regardless of who your parcel is being handled by, whether it is DHL, UPS, China Post, or otherwise, you can use the tracking number displayed here on the Ship24 website to track your parcel worldwide.
The best solution for tracking is to use your AWB tracking number on the Ship24 website. This means that not only will you be able to instantly get the latest AWB tracking information without having to log in and navigate the Amazon website, but also the Ship24 website will save your recent search history so you don't even need to remember your AWB number. Just enter it once and rest assured you have full tracking capability available at your fingertips whenever you need it, on any Amazon AWB.

Secret Furniture Unfolds from Shipping Crates
Feel like a game of foosball? There is an all-in-one wooden crate for that – and a surprisingly small one no less. The premise here is clear: mobility above all else – entire workstations, entertainment centers, wet bars, storage spaces and sleeping units, each of which folds up into a self-contained little box for easy transport.
Naihan Li is a Beijing designer who knows knows first hand how fast-paced urban life can be, even within a single city. The aesthetic is simple, hardware durable and materials understated for subtle stylistic consistently and easy portability … plus no need to let the person moving your boxes know that your who life is wrapped up in them.
Via 1stDibs:
"The newest addition to the Crates Stainless Steel series includes a foosball table, an expandable fun piece while meticulous engineering and construction happening at the same time. Naihan's idea for the CRATES originated from the uncertainty of Beijing's shifting urban playground, where once discovered, industrial and artist spaces were quickly destroyed. The inspiration came while unpacking shipping crates full of artwork for Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan. Soon after, those sketches were transformed into an entire series of crated lifestyle products and furniture for the office, kitchen, and bedroom. The CRATES resembles the exterior of a fully-finished shipping container, opening to instantly reveal fully functional household or office environments."
About the designer:
"Jingjing Naihan Li is an architect-turned-furniture-designer whose works reflect what she calls "the moody impracticality of globe-trotting." Li studied design and architecture at London's Bartlett School of Architecture, and early on in her career collaborated on a design project with the renowned Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. Her best-known series, titled "The CRATES," was inspired by the shipping crates used for transporting artwork and her own experience living in "Beijing's shifting urban playground where industrial and artist spaces are quickly discovered and soon destroyed," as she says. The works in "The CRATES" are modular items of everyday furniture—such as bookshelves, beds, and armchairs—that fold up into compact crates for easy transportation. The series was nominated for the 2012 Design of the Year Award by the Design Museum in London. Li has also produced design projects in collaboration with Swarovski and the Gwangju Biennial, among others."

What makes a true Street Racer?
A true street racer is the kinda person who if beaten doesn't act pissy ,but rahter goes home, looks over what in the race he did wrong , and decides what he can do to soup up his car more so the next time he won't be beat.Street racers love the rush of a race . …you see your match coming up fast behind you , he slows down and gets next to you,he reves up his engine and you know it's on now.Stop light truns red and you and the guy are lined up ,( this is the only good real street racing you can do )this isn't top speed this is pure acceleration. pure horse power…Light turns green, you slam it into 1st gear , your car burns out and smokes the tires.. you slam it into second…..then third .. you look back and see the head lights of the other racer and realize you've won .. you do the light show shit then slow down …. but what's going on in the mind of a racer when those 20 seconds go by …..all you can really think about is wining.. and your heart beats so fast and your blood rushes.. its a drug….speed is a drug …..you can feel the awesome power of a car in those 20 seconds……After one race , your hooked..no matter if you win or lose…your hooked…if you lose you just go out and fix your car up so you wont lose again..but if you have the power and you win for the first time it's such a rush….it's addictive …like any man made drug .. you can't stop it …. you always will want more ….I am a true street racer..it has been in my blood from the tme of my first race and will be in my blood till the day I die…but i'm not like the rest of the street racers … i'm a girl …..which if u can find another girl like me…..keep her……..we are hard to find

- B. Sc. (Honours) in Chemistry with Minor in Nanotechnology & Scientific Programming 4 Years - Undergraduate
- B. Sc. (Honours) in Chemistry with Minor in Nanotechnology & Polymer Science 4 Years - Undergraduate
July 26, 2009
School of Engineering, Bangalore
A student paper authored by B Tech (ECE) students of Amrita's Bangalore Campus has been accepted for presentation at the Third International Conference on Anti-counterfeiting, Security, and Identification in Communication (ICASID 09) to be held at the City University of Hong Kong, August 20-22. Co-sponsored by the IEEE Hong Kong Chapter, the conference will have participants from several countries around the world.
Amrita students, B. Sriram and R. Prashanth Iyer, will travel to Hong Kong in August to present their paper. Titled, Mark Sheet Authentication using 2D Barcodes and Digital Signatures, the paper was based on a student project for implementing a document authenticator.
The students have developed what may well be India's first such system.
"Today, we often hear about important documents such as university-issued marks sheets being fudged and faked," stated Prof. S. Ravishankar, who guided the students. "Authentication of such documents is a major concern and currently, there are no proven methods to generate a secure document. Our students have developed an authenticator with line verification capability. A document may have any amount of content, the authenticator is not limited to documents of particular sizes."
The students explained further. "All important parameters in a mark sheet are encrypted and encoded into a 2D barcode. When verifying, the 2D barcode is decoded and decrypted; the original data is displayed by the application's graphical user interface. We have included OCR into the application also. This OCR text is automatically compared with the original data from the 2D barcode. Since the system is completely automated, there is no room for human error."
A similar approach was also proposed by a multinational firm, Hewlett Packard, for a document verification system. However that system required online connectivity during the time of use. The system developed by the students is not dependent on online connectivity. A digital signature can be used for authenticating the contents of the document. This provides for local authentication without having to connect to an online database.
Overall, the students used three technologies to develop their system. 1) 2D Barcode for machine reading capability 2) OCR for automatic verification of the correctness of each and every entry in the mark-sheet 3) Digital Signature for authentication. We congratulate the students for their efforts.

Bishop Robert J. Hermann is auxiilary bishop emeritus of St. Louis.
The readings for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time relate this mystery: God's creation of man in original justice, man's loss of that justice, God's restoration of man and man's call to intimacy with God.
In the first reading, God says, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suited to him." God created animals to be man's companion. Man named each animal, "but none proved to be a helper suited to the man."
Then God created woman and brought her to the man, who said, "This one, at last, is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called 'woman,' for out of 'her man' this one has been taken.
"That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one flesh."
Man was really created in a state of grace called original justice. In the book of Hebrews, just prior to the selection on Sunday, we read "It was not to the angels that He subjected the order of things to come, of which we are speaking. Instead, someone has testified somewhere: 'What is man that you are mindful of him? Or the son of man that you care for Him? You made Him for a little while lower than the angels; you crowned Him with glory and honor; subjecting all things under His feet.'"
Of course, man fell into sin. The second reading states: "He [Jesus] 'for a little while' was made 'lower than the angels,' that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone."
God's love for fallen man was so great that Jesus lowered Himself below the angels so that He might take on our sins and raise us above the angels. By entering into our fallen condition, He enabled us to overcome sin and live in union with Him.
The Gospel is insightful in this way: When the Pharisees approach Jesus and tell him that Moses permitted the husband to give His wife a bill of divorce, Jesus said, "Because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote you this commandment."
"But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate."
This is the Bridegroom talking. After man had separated himself from God, Jesus died on the cross and formed His bride, the Church. He gave His life for her in order that she might be united with Him in the Holy Trinity.
The same intimacy that Jesus has with the Father, and that Jesus has for His Bride the Church, is the intimacy He invites us to have for each other. All He needs of us for this intimacy to take us over is our permission, so that He can have a freedom in our relationships. He wants us to be receivers and sharers of His mercy, kindness and forgiveness. We first learn how to do this in our families.
It starts with the union of man and woman in matrimony. Matrimony makes man and woman one flesh, and the grace of God transforming hearts in daily sacrifices for each other keeps them one.
How can we ever grow in holiness without God surfacing our woundedness so that we ask for God's mercy and healing? The more this becomes a daily experience, the deeper the joy of marriage and the deeper the joy of being close to God.
This then flows into the children, their relationship with each other and with their parents. This doesn't happen unless the parents make it intentional. From their experience of relating to each other, parents are well equipped to teach their children how to forgive each other and how to make sacrifices for the sake of family unity.
To make this possible, Jesus lowered Himself below the angels so that we would be lifted up in glory, the glory of the intimacy of the Most Holy Trinity. We can't make this intimacy happen, but we can allow Jesus to change our hearts to bring it about.
Changing our hearts requires many sacrifices and much suffering, but Jesus is our companion in every sacrifice and in everything we suffer. Jesus is with us to help us and to encourage us. He has experienced the glory to which He is lovingly leading us. He will help us to turn hurtful people into companions in glory.
Jesus kept His eyes on His Father, and He is encouraging us to keep our eyes on Jesus: "For the sake of the joy that lay before Him He endured the cross, despising its shame, and has taken His seat at the right of the throne of God."
So the next time when you feel all alone in your suffering, raise your eyes and see Him at the right hand of the Father, cheering you on. We are on the path to glory, and Jesus knows how to get us there.
Jesus is greater than our weaknesses and our heartaches. The people He helped us to forgive will be our companions in eternal glory.

The Mercer County Clerk's Office is the County's Official Property Recording Office. The Office of the County Clerk is responsible for the filing and recording all documents affecting real property ownership and transfer within Mercer County. This includes deeds, mortgages, and their related documents, as well as tax liens, powers of attorney documents, and veteran discharge papers known as DD-214.
The County Clerk has maintained records of all documents affecting property since Mercer County's incorporation in 1838. Any interested citizen, attorney, title searcher, or historian for their research can be granted access to the large records room that houses all of the official property records of Mercer County. The records are available for public inspection between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, located at 209 S. Broad St. in Trenton.
Although the staff cannot conduct a title search by law, they can help familiarize the public with the computerized recording and indexing system. The County Clerk's Office offers search room classes every year (although these classes have been suspended recently in light of the COVID-19 pandemic). In addition, maps of Mercer County's 12 municipalities are on file, along with minor and major subdivisions within the county.
Over the years, the types of records on file at the Clerk's Office have evolved, as have the methods for recording these documents.
The Clerk Office does accept mail or walk-in paper recordings. Additionally, as part of their ongoing effort to provide thier constituents with the most efficient and accurate services in recording and filing documents, the Mercer County Clerk's Office offers e-Recording. By utilizing imaging technology and a modern electronic land records management system, the e-Recording system allows individuals to record documents remotely.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Clerk's Office has significantly upgraded its e-Recording service. From March 1, 2020, to December 15, 2021, there have been 102,805 records submitted through the county's e-Recording portal, with an average submission rate of over 5,000 records per month.
The ultimate goal of this program is to allow complete electronic recording of real property, allowing title agencies, mortgage lenders, banks, law firms, and other businesses the ability to record and track the progress of filed documents via the Internet, all from the comfort of their home or office. Subscriptions to E-Recording of real estate documents are available through the county E-Recording portal at http://www.njcountyrecording.com or by calling our office at 609-989-6465.
The e-Recording portal is operated by Sunrise Systems. Many other county clerk offices also use it throughout New Jersey, so if you use it in Mercer, you will be able to use it in many other counties, including Middlesex.
Finally, thier office also offers technology to perform searches from the comfort of your home or office on property records dating back to the 1950s. This has been very helpful to title searchers and others seeking to work remotely during the pandemic. You can reach the Clerk's public records search engine at http://records.mercercounty.org/.
For more information and updates on office openings and closings in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, please visit the Mercer County Clerk's website: https://www.mercercounty.org/government/county-clerk or call the office's main number at 609-989-6465.

Aperam announced Friday results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, announcing an EBITDA of $108 million in Q3 2015, compared to EBITDA of $155 million in Q2 2015.
The company said that basic earnings per share of $0.40 in Q3 2015 and $1.79 for year to date September 2015 compared to $0.97 for year to date September 2014. Cash flow from operations amounted to $65 million in Q3 2015, compared to $78 million in Q2 2015. Net debt was $419 million as of September 30, 2015, representing a gearing of 19% compared to a net debt of $454 million as of June 30, 2015, Aperam said.
Looking forward, Aperam said that EBITDA in Q4 2015 is expected to be comparable to EBITDA in Q3 2015, while net debt is expected to decrease in Q4 2015.
Aperam said that it is restating a base dividend of $1.25/share (subject to AGM approval), which is anticipated to progressively increase over time, as the company continues to improve its sustainable profitability benefiting from its strategic actions.
Commenting on the results, Timoteo Di Maulo, CEO of Aperam, said, "As expected, the third quarter was marked by seasonality and decline in nickel price. However, Aperam was able to offset most of these impacts thanks to the agility and the resilience of its business model."
According to Di Maulo, "For the fourth quarter, we remain cautious given the current economic environment but we are confident we will continue to deliver on the Leadership Journey®5 and the Top Line strategy."
"Looking ahead, we see stainless steel fundamentals improving in our markets and we are confident in the ability of Aperam to generate sustainable cash returns. Therefore, we are happy to reinstate dividend," Di Maulo.

The McKinley Companies sells JANAF Shopping Yard in Norfolk, Virginia to Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc.
January 18, 2018The McKinley Companies announced today that it has sold JANAF Shopping Yard to Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (NASDAQ:WHLR), for $85.65 million. McKinley has owned JANAF Shopping Yard ("JANAF"), an 887,917-rentable square foot shopping center located in Norfolk, Virginia, since 1990; and it was the single largest retail asset in the McKinley portfolio. This sale marks a critical milestone in McKinley's strategic effort to exit the retail real estate business. McKinley has sold over 15 retail real estate assets over the past 36 months, and it is expected to finalize its exit from retail real estate by Q2 2018.
JANAF was originally built in 1959, and it has undergone extensive expansion and redevelopment since McKinley acquired the asset. McKinley partnered with Walmart as they expanded their contiguous Supercenter and created a shared parking plate making Walmart a core shadow anchor. McKinley built a new ground up development on-site, and totally repositioned the main retail center. McKinley also repurposed the former Montgomery Ward property into successful retail shops via a complex adaptive re-use effort, and most recently delivered the new Wawa at the main entrance. JANAF was 94% occupied at closing, and anchored by prominent retailers including BJ's Wholesale Club and Fuel Center (151,345 square feet in total); T.J. Maxx (37,383 square feet); Petco (17,000 square feet); Wawa (7,240 square feet); and Big Lots (42,500 square feet). Service and necessity providers such as the United States Postal Service, SunTrust Bank and others are also tenants of JANAF and serve the surrounding community. JANAF encompasses approximately 92 acres and includes 850,683 square feet of retail space in multiple buildings and 37,234 square feet of office space in one building.
"We congratulate Jon Wheeler and his team on this most important acquisition, and we are confident that they will do great things with JANAF which is located in their home town," offered Albert M. Berriz, Managing Member, Chief Executive Officer, Board Member and Co-Owner of McKinley. "As we have shown, our exit from retail real estate has been carried out flawlessly and with enormous precision. My thanks to the McKinley team that has worked tirelessly to make this most complex disposition happen. We are very excited that this milestone event will be transformative for our enterprise," further added Berriz.
