Streamlining the 'Experience:'
October 16, 2007
Prospective students can now catch a glimpse of the diverse aspects of Simpson life online on the new Simpson Experience Web site, which allows students to explore Simpson from hundreds of miles away.Concept to creation
The concept for the site was developed by Web Architect Missy DeYoung after attending an interactive marketing conference last fall. The ideas for the site originated from what she learned at the conference.
"One of the goals set out by the President has been to recruit more out-of-state students," DeYoung said. "I know we have the greatest success recruiting a student if we can get them to campus, so I started formulating an idea of how we could give students that live farther away a slice of the 'Simpson Experience' online. I wanted to create something that would make them, at the very least, consider visiting campus."
DeYoung attended the conference in October of 2006 and went through a bidding process in November and December. CdeVision, a company in Holyoke, Mass., started working on the site in January of 2007. In July, they delivered the site framework with content management system. DeYoung worked with her undergraduate assistant, senior Melanie Carlson, and Senior Writer Danette Griffith to fill in the site with content including pictures, text and audio.
Framing the site
"The site is entirely Flash-driven, which is a new technology for us to use," DeYoung said. "It uses a custom content management system so we can add things or change pictures, text and audio very easily. There is also an in-depth accessible transcript for those without Flash or that may have a disability that prevents them from viewing the site through a traditional web browser."
Drawing in prospects
Beth Peck, assistant director of Admissions, said that the new site allows prospective students to interact with the site and are now able to visually see what the "Simpson Experience" is all about.
"The site has more interactive features than our traditional Web site," Peck said. "It relies not on telling the Simpson story with words on a page, but showing it through photographs, audio and video elements. It has a clean, contemporary design that is very focused on just showcasing the 'Simpson Experience,' unlike the traditional Web site which serves many internal and external audiences and is very text heavy."
One of the goals of the site is to give prospective students a better feel for Simpson and help them visualize the "Simpson Experience." The goal is to attract more out-of-state students and to spark their interest enough to come for an actual campus visit.
"Obviously as our geographical reach expands, [this site] is one way that we can reach those students," Alison Swanson, director of Admissions programs said. "In Iowa, we have counselors that cover the high schools. We're able to do that in Iowa, but we can't go into every high school in every state. With the charge ahead of us to spread geographically, we have the option to touch a lot more students [with the site.]"
According to Peck, this goal is being reached through incorporating new technology into an interactive site, which is what prospective students are looking for.
"Students are very web savvy and do a large portion of their college searching via the web," Peck said. "Prospective students have high expectations for Web sites today, so we have to constantly be evolving as their needs evolve. Students who live further away will weigh all of their options carefully before committing to a campus visit; hopefully this site will accomplish that goal. Once students visit campus in person, whether they are from Iowa or Florida, they see that it really is as good as it seems."
Trying out testimonials
Sophomore Sara Crouse is featured on the new site and gives a testimonial about her own "Simpson Experience." She was contacted by the Admissions Office to give a testimonial because she is a student ambassador and is actively involved on campus. Crouse said that the testimonials add a personal touch, and are real students talking about their own experiences, which is appealing to prospective students.
"I think that my 'Simpson Experience' is not only having great professors and great classes but being a part of [the campus]," Crouse said. "You're an individual and not just a number. Professors know you by your first name and when you're walking across campus you know a lot of the students. These close connections really help your college experience and help you grow as a student and an individual."
Aiding Admissions
According to Swanson, this site is another tool to aid Admissions in recruiting prospective students, and will hopefully result in higher numbers of visits and out-of-state enrollment.
Peck also agreed saying that different mediums need to be used to attract more students.
"In order to have consistently successful enrollment, we need to have many different channels to reach many different types of students," Peck said. "This is just one more way that we can show students all that Simpson has to offer in a medium that allows the student to search on their terms and their timeframe."

December 6: A Day In Rolling Stones History
Considering their 50+ year career, it's not surprising that some major events in Rolling Stones history may fall on the same date, but today (December 6) marks the anniversary of three very important moments.
1968 – Release of Beggars Banquet
This album kicked off one of the greatest sequence of albums (followed by Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St.) in all of rock and roll. It also marked the Stones' return to their rock roots ("Sympathy for the Devil," "Street Fighting Man") after experimenting with more psychedelic sounds.

After a year away from football, Eric Crouch finally got his chance Wednesday to play quarterback in the NFL.
Granted, it was only in the Green Bay Packers' mini-camp practice. But it meant for more reps than the former Heisman Trophy winner got last offseason in St. Louis, where he was asked to play wide receiver.
"I couldn't be more excited to be here," Crouch said afterward. "I'm happy about the situation I'm in."
The situation, it seems, still needs to be defined.
Wednesday, Crouch worked only as a quarterback, but earlier in the week GM/Head Coach Mike Sherman indicated his interest to try Crouch as a punt returner.
Last year Crouch retired from the NFL rather than play a position that wasn't quarterback, but for the moment the former University of Nebraska star seems more agreeable to playing elsewhere.
"Any way that I can help this team win football games, I'd be willing to do that," Crouch said Wednesday.
Provided, that is, that the Packers continue to give him a chance at quarterback, something the Rams didn't do after selecting Crouch in the third round of the 2002 NFL Draft.
One of three players in NCAA history to rush for 3,000 yards and pass for 4,000 yards in his career, Crouch's ability running the ball is unquestioned. But after shining in an option offense, his prowess throwing the ball needs to be demonstrated.
"There are a lot of questions about my arm strength," Crouch said. "I understand that that can be an issue when they haven't seen me throw very much in college. But coming here to prove that that's not an issue is something I wanted to do."
Crouch admits that he has a long way to go before he's an NFL quarterback. And it's about learning the offense as much as learning the throws.
But Sherman came away from Crouch's first practice with a positive review.
"I think he's farther ahead of what I originally thought," Sherman said. "I thought he had a good arm, which he does. He throws a tight spiral. He's fairly accurate -- even if he's throwing it to the other guy, he's accurate.
"I think he did a nice job today. (He's) somebody worth working with."
At which position Crouch gets most of his work this offseason, only time will tell.
Winters Still Around
Officially, Frank Winters was cut from the Packers' roster Monday. But after 16 NFL seasons, his career is still going strong.
Wednesday, GM/Head Coach Mike Sherman was asked whether Winters would be back under contract with the Packers in 2003.
"I expect it," Sherman said. "Frank's been in the building (at Lambeau Field). The contract work hasn't been done just yet.
"Although technically we cut Frank to do the new contract, he's never really absent from our minds and our hearts and our souls.
"Frank is just negotiating right now, and that's fine because he can't really do much this camp anyway."

Warner Bros., PS4 make out like bandits in July NPD
PS4 continues to trample the opposition and Warner Bros. has so much money it has to buy a bigger piggy bank.
There's plenty of good news in this month's NPD report on US retail, especially when it comes to hardware, which is up 6% on July 2014 to $202.1 million.
That's not a big jump but it's impressive given the dieback on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. NPD analyst Liam Callahan said the slowdown on seventh-generation software depressed hardware sales figures 56%, but that newer consoles are out-performing their older brethren.
"After 21 months, combined Xbox One and PS4 hardware unit sales are close to 50% higher than the combined sales of Xbox 360 and PS3 after 21 months on the market," he said.
The PS4 led hardware sales, with Sony highlighting the performance of the Batman: Arkham Knight bundle. Microsoft wasn't gloomy, though; it may be in second place, but Xbox One sales increased 44% year-on-year and active global Xbox Live users jumped 22%.
Nintendo's statement highlighted a 10% increase in year-to-date Wii U hardware sales and a 35% increase in year-to-date 3DS hardware sales compared to the same period in 2014. Good things all round for the big three.
Although overall software sales didn't grow by even 1% at $178.5 million, eighth generation software - that's PS4 and Xbox One - grew 63% year-on-year, which is good news.
Seventh generation software continued to fall off a cliff, except that Xbox 360 was the second-highest selling platform for new physical software after the PS4 - presumably thanks to the backwards compatibility announced at E3 2015. "Consumers may have felt safer buying 360 games knowing that they will be able to play them on Xbox One if they choose to upgrade," Callahan said.
As you'll see in the charts below, Warner Bros. is minting it hand-over-fist; although Batman: Arkham Knight fell to second place in the charts, the NPD said that if it included hardware bundles it would have been the top seller. Plus, the number one slot - LEGO: Jurassic World - is also a Warner Bros. game, and the publisher has a third chart entry with Mortal Kombat X.
"Warner Bros. Interactive is the top publisher year-to-date with an increase of over 200% in dollar sales," Callahan said.
Although it didn't chart, Nintendo said Splatoon continues to sell well, with 85,000 total units in its third month. Its lifetime US sales now stand at "nearly 540,000" units, and it had shipped 1.6 million units worldwide as of June 30.
NPD Software chart July 2015
- LEGO: Jurassic World (Xbox 360, 3DS, PS3, Xbox One, Wii U, PS4, Vita)
- Batman: Arkham Knight (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
- Minecraft (Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4)
- Grand Theft Auto 5 (PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
- Rory Mcilroy PGA Tour (PS4, Xbox One)
- The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited (Xbox One, PS4, PC)
- Destiny (Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3)
- Mortal Kombat X (PS4, Xbox One)
- FIFA 15 (PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, Wii, Vita, 3DS)
- Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
For those who just like the numbers, total industry spend rose 6% to $541.9 million from $513.3 million in July 2014.
Hardware was up 2% to $202.1 million, while software was steady at $178.5 million. Accessories grew 17% year-on-year to $161.3 million.
As ever, please remember that the NPD tracks only new physical sales with this report, and as such these figures are not representative of the broader US market.

Nonprofit Center Hosts Virtual Information Session
The Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires is hosting a virtual "Meet & Greet" via Zoom for members and "not yet" members to learn how to make the most of NPC programs and services.
NPC shared with us in a press release that taking place this afternoon from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., NPC Board Chair, Erika Allison, will interview founder Liana Toscanini about membership benefits, popular programs, and lesser-known services and resources. Participants will be able to ask questions and hear from NPC members.
The Nonprofit Center was founded in 2016 to help nonprofits connect, learn and grow. It now offers nearly two dozen programs and services including the Giving Back guide, the Berkshire Nonprofit Awards, volunteer fairs and educational webinars.
The event is free and open to any nonprofit or business that serves nonprofits. Register online by going here or call (413) 645-3151.
About the Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires
The idea for the Nonprofit Center evolved over a period of ten years, sprouting from the founder's involvement in many small civic and nonprofit groups. In 2016, after meetings with professionals from both the nonprofit and business worlds, a structure for the Nonprofit Center emerged. Similar to a Chamber of Commerce, the NPC serves as the clearing house for information for nonprofits and has become a vital resource for the community.
In its first year, the NPC launched a web site with a "resource" section, an educational workshop series, and a giving guide connecting nonprofits with community members wishing to get more involved. The NPC also fields calls for information and referrals, meets individually with nonprofits, coaches boards and management, and represents the Berkshires on the Board of the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network.

We are deeply saddened to let you know that Don Gardner passed away on May 30.
Please take a moment to read about Don in the words of his son Steve.
Dad passed away quietly on May 30, 2020 at age 90. He had been in the hospital for treatment from heart & kidney complications since May 25th. It was frustrating that my brother Jeff and I could not be with him nor could he communicate with us because of Covid-19 and his severe hearing loss.
Then the Doctor offered us a gift. He said he would like to write an order allowing us to see him on Friday the 29th. We cherished that time, talking to him and letting him know his legacy would be carried forward. We played Mom's voice (from a message Jeff and I never erased) into Dad's ear and got the biggest response from him when we told him to listen for her voice to guide them to be together.
Don and Jeanne were married 68 years ago on June 1st. Dad passed peacefully at 4:30 a.m. May 30th, the time when he and Mom would wake up so they could get ready for their day. We believe they made it in time to be together on their anniversary.
Donald Ralph Gardner started in the roofing industry from the ground up. He did it all – from unloading shakes in rail cars to single handedly loading bags of rock on a roof with no conveyor or any other means of loading other than a ladder and his shoulder. He worked for Scotty's Lumber, one of the original owners of South Coast Shingle. He then moved on to work for the Lessel's at ALL and helped create LESCO to handle the insulation part of their business. This is where he helped create "cant strip", one of Jerry Lessel's newly sprouted ideas. Always interested in equipment, Don learned about diesel trucks, hydraulics and air braking systems in addition to the regular day to day business of selling roofing. In the 70's, he started Coastal City Supplies to sell drywall. He moved back to selling roofing with his own company, Roofing Sales Corp. soon after. Roofing Sales is where Don and Jeanne started a "family business" and L. A. Roofing Materials was born in 1982 – which continues today under their son Steve Gardner's stewardship.
Aside from being dedicated to the roofing industry for his whole career, one of Don Gardner's greatest achievements was the creation of his full size locomotive and rail car. You can find a video on You Tube at "LARM Railroad".
Donald Ralph Gardner
September 18, 1929 ~ May 30, 2020
Survived by his 2 sons, Steve & Jeff Gardner and their families.
Southern California RCA offers condolences to Don's family, friends, and former colleagues during this time.

Three New Microgaming Slots Available to Play Now

A Dark Matter was developed exclusively by Slingshot Studios for the major software giant and it features a quaint English town plagued by a series of mysterious and unexplained disappearances.

Mom pens letter after son with Down Syndrome excluded from party
CANADA (WTXF)- A mom in Canada was heartbroken to say the least after her son's entire class was invited to a child's birthday party, with the exception of her son. Her son, Sawyer, has Down Syndrome.
Jennifer Kiss-Engele posted her letter to the parent who did not invite Sawyer to the party on Facebook along with a photo of her son. She writes that her goal is to share a valuable lesson while also advocating and educating.
Jennifer begins by acknowledging that the other 22 students in the class were invited, with the exception of her son.
She goes on to eliminate all the possible reasons her son may not have been invited:
"I know it's not because he's mean, you couldn't meet a happier child. I know it's not because he's not fun, he has a great sense of humour and an infectious laugh. I know it's not because your child and him don't get along, he's brought up your child's name on several occasions."
She then claims the "only reason why you decided it was OK to not invite my son to your child's birthday party is because he has Down Syndrome."
Jennifer writes that the mother may not be informed on what it means to have Down Syndrome, and proposes that this experience can be an opportunity for the parent to get to know more about her son.
"You see, having Down Syndrome doesn't mean that you don't want to have friends. It doesn't mean that you don't have feelings. It doesn't mean you don't like to go to birthday parties. People with Down Syndrome want the same things that you and I want. "
She continues on, and adds that at one point in her life she was also scared and misinformed about her son's condition. She says she worried about the connections Sawyer would have with her other children, and explains that her worries were unfounded, and their connection has shaped her children into better individuals.
Jennifer concluded her letter by offering the parent an opportunity to talk, which she later says the parent took her up on.
She added the happy ending that the parent she was referring to spoke to her child about Sawyer, Sawyer received a special invitation to the party.
Jennifer writes that Sawyer has had a smile on his face ever since.

We came here a couple of years ago to see Santa and had a great day out. There are plenty of things here for little ones to do.Once you get on the train it takes you over to where Santa is, my little boy loved the train ride.There is a large marquee at the end where there are crafts, bouncy castle, balloon modelling, stalls and food. We found enough here for the little one to do for ages. We then went to queue for Santa where the children are given a goody bag with juice and a small chocolate inside which is great for taking their minds off queuing, although we didn't queue for long. The other bonus for us is that they also have a welsh speaking Santa 🎅 Fab day out, highly recommended we have booked again this year
The tickets are quite expensive but there is lots to do and the children get a fab gift along with other bits
The staff are all volunteers and do a fantastic job there

USC defensive tackle Antwaun Woods had surgery this afternoon, he revealed on his Instagram account. Woods, the anchor in the middle of the defensive line, injured his chest earlier this week and had to leave practice. It is presumed that this surgery is directly related to that injury since he doesn't have a shirt on and appears to be wearing an arm sling on his left arm. If the surgery was a serious operation (to say repair a torn pectoral muscle), junior Antwaun Woods will be out for the National University Holiday Bowl.
Josh Shaw Reinstated to the USC Football Program
USC reinstated redshirt senior cornerback Josh Shaw on Tuesday afternoon after the LA County DA declined to charge him and USC conducted its own investigation in one night.
Bryce Dixon and J.R. Tavai Return to Practice
Two key Trojans were back for Monday's closed practice as freshman tight end Bryce Dixon and junior rush end J.R. Tavai both were dressed when they entered Howard Jones Field.
Safety Position in Flux After Multiple Injuries
USC freshman safety John Plattenburg only has a thigh contusion after being carted off during Sunday's practice, but the Trojans' secondary is in flux after Gerald Bowman, Leon McQuay III and Su'a Cravens have all suffered recent injuries.
Su'a Cravens On Track to Start Thursday
USC safety/linebacker hybrid Su'a Cravens had a knee injury scare at Washington State, but is back practicing at full speed after the Trojans' week off.
Josh Shaw Return Still a Possibility
USC head coach Steve Sarkisian isn't ready to close the book on cornerback Josh Shaw just yet. Sarkisian wouldn't rule out a possible return of the redshirt senior, who was suspended after lying to athletic officials about how he sprained his ankles.
Su'a Cravens Has No Structural Damage
Some good news following the Trojans' win over Washington State regarding the health of sophomore standout Su'a Cravens.
USC Game-Time Injury Updates at Wazzu
The Trojans will have everyone available that they expected to have after Thursday's practice. Antwaun Woods, Gerald Bowman and George Farmer will be available to play.
Is D-Line Depth a Concern Against Wazzu?
With Antwaun Woods and Leonard Williams missing practice time this week, is USC's defensive line depth a concern against Washington State's pass-happy offense? And who fills in behind the W boys if they miss time?
Vainuku & Harris Ruled Out for Washington State
USC starting fullback Soma Vainuku and freshman slot receiver Ajene Harris have been ruled out for Saturday's game at Washington State. The roles will fall to Jahleel Pinner and Steven Mitchell.
O-Line Shuffle: Lobendahn at LT; Walker Out
With starting left tackle Chad Wheeler out for the season, left guard Toa Lobendahn is taking over rather than Aundrey Walker, who played the position after Wheeler was hurt at Utah. With Lobendah at left tackle, the left guard position is open.
Sack Specialist J.R. Tavai Out "A Few Weeks"
USC rush end/outside linebacker J.R. Tavai left the game against Utah in the first half and didn't return. Head coach Steve Sarkisian said Sunday night that Tavai would be out "a few weeks" due to a knee sprain.
OL Chad Wheeler is Out for the Season
USC left tackle Chad Wheeler is out for the remainder of the season after tearing his ACL early in the Utah game.

Safety Gerald Bowman, receiver George Farmer and fullback Soma Vainuku did not make the trip to Salt Lake City this weekend for the Utah game.
Injury Report: Pullard Back; Receivers Banged Up
The USC Trojans got some key players back from injury on Wednesday. Adoree' Jackson, Hayes Pullard and Gerald Bowman look to be on track to play Saturday while Ajene Harris, George Farmer, Steven Mitchell and Soma Vainuku are still in question.
Injury Report: Adoree' Back; Bowman & Pullard Sit
The USC Trojans were banged up in the Colorado game and had some key players get nicked. On Tuesday, Adoree' Jackson, Ajene Harris and George Farmer returned to full speed while Gerald Bowman and Hayes Pullard barely practiced.
Tre Madden Out for Season
USC redshirt junior running back Tre Madden will sit out the remainder of the due to a turf toe injury after he and his parents met with USC head coach Steve Sarkisian on Thursday.
Kenny Bigelow to miss 2014 season with torn ACL
Trojan defensive lineman Kenny Bigelow is set to miss the 2014-2015 season with a torn ACL.
Matt Barkley out for Sun Bowl

God Will Determine My Next Political Move -Ipoola Omisore
Hon. Ipoopla Omisore from Ifako/Ijaiye Constituency 2 is also the Chairman, House Services Committee and he is always down to earth on issues, especially on the floor of the House, where holds sway as a shining light. In this interview he granted us last week, Omisore speaks on national issues and talks on his next political move.
How do you see the defection of some PDP Governors to APC?
It is a welcome development because it is strengthening the opposition, you need an insider of a party to bring the party down, it is like a castle made of robbers, you need an insider to penetrate the castle.
Do you see the leadership of the National Assembly changing with this?
In APC, we are not looking at the immediate gain, we are certainly looking at 2015, those at the National Assembly will create a rumpus for the PDP, we need a calculated move, we will do it with wisdom. Changing the leadership of the National Assembly now may not be good for democracy, those who want to join us can come rather than changing leadership, of course that is not the dream of our leaders, the dream is for us to strengthen the opposition so that we can take over. But we believe that more people are still coming, we still have some governors in there, who still want to join the APC, and they know that if they continue with the PDP, they are doomed. Now there is an alternative for them, you can be sure those who are managing with the PDP will definitely leave; our plan is not to cause instability at the National Assembly.
Do you see someone like Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu vying for a political office
You can be sure that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not doing it for personal gains, the equation would work itself out. He is not doing all these to contest, you can be sure. He is not selfish, remember that Senator Ganiyu Olanrewaju from Lagos West was given a seat to calm nerves, he is somebody that wants to do his best. I don't believe that he wants to contest; he is already a national leader greater than the office of the vice president. What we need now is change, what we are saying is that there would be no democracy if the system does not change. A situation, where the ruling party can sacrifice its own candidate in an election and say it is free and fair just because the Governor of the state is supporting anything the president says means that we have a desperado sort of government, so if there is no change, there would be problem.
Are you coming back to the Assembly in 2015 or you are going to the House of Reps?
I leave my people to judge, I am a top notch of the House, I am one of the light; the more mature the wine, the better for the consumers. I am a better person than I came in, if my people want me back here or up there, it is well, but I give myself to serve. I leave God to tell me where to go next, certainly I am not God, with my experience at a very high pedestal, if I come back, it is for the betterment of my people and if I go to higher places, so be it.

We all remember reading stories about Pinocchio and his mischievous tales, although he was a naughty kid throughout the movie, we all adored him to the core.
That's why we are super-excited to give you the news about Pinocchio coming back to screens. This time on Netflix. Despite having a fictional story, it worked really well with the adults, and we don't even have to mention kids cause they loved him.
Pinocchio though has been a part of most people's childhood. A lot of children of the new generation still need to see this creation, and this is the perfect film to watch as soon as it releases.
The Storyline of "Pinocchio"
So the basic story is going to be the same where a puppet dreaming of becoming a real boy does every mischief a real boy will do and more.
But this particular film is going to be darker as per the makers. Again it's an animated musical venture set in the time period of the 1930s in Italy.
When this over-enthusiastic puppet comes to life, it creates trouble out of control though at the end regretting each one of them. Though what all are the mistakes he'll make this time is unpredictable. We'll still love to see him back on screens.
Pinocchio Cast
Ewan McGregor as Pinocchio
Ron Perlman as Mangiafuoco
Tilda Swinton as The Fairy with Turquoise Hair
David Bradley as Mister Geppetto
Christoph Waltz
Release Date of "Pinocchio"
Netflix has officially announced this film to be under its production. They have released a teaser poster too. Now they have told the official release date that is in the coming year 2021.
The film is already under progress, so it's release in 2021 is probably confirmed. Though we still can't be sure following the ongoing pandemic situation, which has put all film works as well as all the other works in the world to a halt.
Anyway, we hope to see this all this get over soon, and everything comes to normalcy. Stay tuned to know the updates. We'll keep updating you!

Looking for office space? Use TRData to find the right broker
Office space in New York City is in no short supply and a prospective office tenant will often experience more difficulty narrowing down their potential borough, neighborhood and building than they will finding an open spot with enough square feet. Ensuring that your business is located in an up-and-coming and reasonably priced area is up to your broker. TRData has over 35,000 completed transactions throughout the five boroughs and can be an excellent resource for finding a seasoned broker who has completed numerous office leasing deals.
Visit the Deal Sheet to view the most recent office leasing transactions. To further sort and manipulate this data, use the Advanced Search's Deal Sheet tab.
For example, if you wanted to find licensed brokers who had closed office deals in downtown Manhattan, you'd need to select "Office Leasing" from "Filter by Type" and select "All Downtown" after clicking the "Neighborhood" button under "Filter by Neighborhood." This displays 1,637 completed deals in the Battery Park City, City Hall, Chinatown, Financial District, Seaport and Tribeca neighborhoods of Manhattan.
To further narrow down these results, use the "Filter by Size" and "Filter by Date" fields to choose a specific amount of square feet and the timeframe of the completed office lease. Using the fields at the bottom of the Deal Sheet tab or the "Filter by Keyword" field, you can find office leases from a specific office tenant, landlord, tenant brokerage, tenant broker, landlord brokerage and landlord broker. Click to find the results for tech companies with over 10,000 square feet in Downtown Manhattan.

1. "Gimme More," Britney Spears
Can you say "club banger?" While this song made way too many people say "it's Britney b*tch," it marks the comeback of the one-and-only Miss Britney Spears. "Crossroads" may have been a travesty but this hot song was not. 2. "Mutilated Lips," Ween
What? Rebecca Shorr likes Britney and Ween? Yup. This is the first Ween song I ever heard and is still one of my favorite songs by the band. It is trippy, creepy, weird and calming all at the same time. The reverb, guitars and vocals all meld together to form a lucid piece of musical genius.
3. "Lollipop," Lil Wayne
A hot song by one very fine, ripped rapper.
4. "Diva," Beyoncé
I would like to think of this song as my personal anthem. Strutting down College Avenue while on my way to Starbucks just gets so much better when listening to this song.
5. "So a Jew and a Christian and a Recording Crew Walk Into This Bar," This American Life
I am an avid "This American Life" fan and, like Nora Taylor, want to marry Ira Glass. This excerpt, from the episode titled "Nobody's Family is Going to Change," is an incredibly touching piece about acceptance, resentment and love. I never get tired of listening to this story and continue to be moved by it.
6. "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)," Billy Joel
Billy Joel is an amazing songwriter, and this is probably my favorite Billy Joel song. It is upbeat, catchy and just all around rockin'.
7. "I Kissed A Girl," Katy Perry
Arguably the catchiest pop record to be released since Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone." This song is everything a pop record should be: fun, entertaining, easy to sing to and responsible for increasing the sales of ChapStick (cherry flavored in particular). This song might not be kid-tested, mother-approved, but it sure is fun to dance to.

The China Magazine, Volume 2, Issues 14-19
The third picture is to be one of a different kind. It is to be a photograph of a piece of engineering. In making a convenient road to the valley from Victoria, it was necessary to make a deep cutting, and we want a photograph of this cutting; let us see if we can make it a little picturesque.
And, apropos of that same cutting—the Wong-nei-chung Gap—perhaps you do not know that, according to the best Chinese authorities, it was a dreadful day for Hongkong when that Gap was made. The Chinese, ever imaginative in their superstitions, profess to see in every hill, or range of hills, the shape and conformation of a dragon. When the dragon's form is not sufficiently clear, or if it be defective or wanting in any part, they will raise a mound, or build a pagoda, or in some other way supply the missing feature. Now in the present case it unfortunately happens that Morrison Hill was the dragon's nose, and when the Gap was made the dragon's nose was cut off from his face. This has made the dragon irate and he intends, we are informed, to hurl dire misfortunes upon Hongkong one of these fine days.
We can see the Gap from where we are in Wong-nei-chung road, and I think that we shall be able to make a passable picture of it which, if not a very brilliant example of art, shall not be too rigidly formal.
We want something in the foreground which shall be interesting but not striking, and which shall break without hiding the monotonous sweep of the plain. A chair and coolies is the most natural thing in the world, but the group must be inactive, the chair upon the ground and the coolies doing nothing particular, otherwise they will be too prominent in the picture. These, with a bush on the one hand, and a bit of pine on the other, remove all tensive sameness and at the same time educate the eye to appreciate the broad plain beyond, and follow the road up through the Gap, the height and breadth of which you are enabled to grasp at once by comparing it with everything else in the picture, while Victoria Peak lifting its head into the lowering clouds is softened into dimness by the distance and so made subordinate to the whole.

Pakistan stops clearing bills, salaries of govt departments
Finance Division top guns did not respond. When Finance Minister Ishaq Dar was contacted, he said it might be untrue but promised to get back after confirming it.
ISLAMABAD: In the wake of lingering economic and financial difficulties, the Pakistan Finance Ministry has directed the Accountant General Pakistan Revenues (AGPR) to stop clearing the bills of the federal ministries/divisions and attached departments till further orders, it is learnt.
Even the clearance of salary bills has also been stopped. Top official sources confirmed to The News on Friday night that the operational cost related releases faced difficulties mainly because of lingering financial difficulties being faced by the country.
Finance Division top guns did not respond. When Finance Minister Ishaq Dar was contacted, he said it might be untrue but promised to get back after confirming it.
The sources said they went to the AGPR for clearance of their outstanding bills but were informed that the Ministry of Finance had directed them to stop clearing all the bills, including the salaries, because of the prevailing difficult financial positions.
The exact reasons could not be ascertained why the clearance of bills was stopped on immediate basis, The News reported.
The lingering financial difficulties could be cited as major reason behind this move.
The sources said the salaries and pensions of defence related institutions had already been cleared for next month.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Wednesday unveiled a host of austerity measures to save 200 billion PKR -- aimed to keep the country afloat as the nation buckles up to meet the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) conditions, Geo News reported.
Pakistan is desperate to unlock the next tranche worth $1.1 billion loan facility with the IMF but is struggling to meet tough conditions set by the global financier.
The IMF is demanding that Pakistan boosts its pitifully low tax base, end exemptions for the export sector, and raise artificially low energy prices that are meant to help poor families.
The nation is in dire need of funds as it battles a wrenching economic crisis as the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP)-held foreign exchange reserves barely cover one month of imports, Geo News reported.

Bear - Build EAR
bear [options] [build command]
Bear is a tool to generate compilation database for clang tooling.
The JSON compilation database <http://clang.llvm.org/docs/JSONCompilationDatabase.html> is used in Clang project to provide information how a single compilation unit was processed. When that is available then it is easy to re-run the compilation with different programs.
Bear executes the original build command and intercepts the subsequent execution calls. To achieve that Bear uses library preload mechanism provided by the dynamic linker. There is a library which defines the exec methods and used in every child processes of the build command. The executable itself sets the environment up to child processes and writes the output file.
- --version
- Print out Bear version number.
- -v, --verbose
- Enable verbose output from Bear. A second, third and fourth flags increases verbosity.
- -o file, --cdb file
- Specify output file. (Default value provided.) The output is not continuously updated, it's done when the build command finished.
- --use-cc program
- Hint Bear to classify the given program name as C compiler.
- --use-c++ program
- Hint Bear to classify the given program name as C++ compiler.
- --use-only
- Force to use only the --use-cc and --use-c++ given compilers.
- -a, --append
- Use previously generated output file and append the new entries to it. This way you can run Bear continuously during work, and it keeps the compilation database up to date. File deletion and addition are both considered. But build process change (compiler flags change) might cause duplicate entries.
- -l path, --libear path
- Specify the preloaded library location. (Default value provided.)
The JSON compilation database definition changed over time. The current version of Bear generates entries where:
- directory
- has absolute path.
- file
- has relative path to the directory.
- arguments
- used instead of command to avoid shell escaping problems. The source file in the compiler call match to the file attribute, therefore it is relative path to directory. Other filesystem related references are not modified (those still can be absolute or relative depending the original command).
Some non compilation related flags are filtered out from the final output.
Bear exit status is the exit status of the build command. Except when bear crashes, then it sets to non zero.
- Temporary directory to collect the execution reports at one place. Directory path is derived from TMPDIR, TEMP or TMP environment variable.
- Used by the dynamic loader on Linux, FreeBSD and other UNIX OS. Value set by Bear, overrides previous value for child processes.
- Used by the dynamic loader on OS X. Value set by Bear, overrides previous value for child processes.
- Used by the dynamic loader on OS X. Value set by bear, overrides previous value for child processes.
- libear.so or libear.dylib
- The preload library which implements the exec methods.
ld.so(8), exec(3)
Because Bear uses LD_PRELOAD or DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES environment variables, it does not append to it, but overrides it. So builds which are using these variables might not work. (I don't know any build tool which does that, but please let me know if you do.)
Security extension/modes on different operating systems might disable library preloads. This case Bear behaves normally, but the result compilation database will be empty. (Please make sure it's not the case when reporting bugs.) Notable examples for enabled security modes are: SIP on OS X Captain and SELinux on Fedora, CentOS, RHEL.

In real-money casino games, whether you play them in an establishment or online, there is a potential to win or lose money from the moment players enter the casino. This uncertainty is what drives many players to come back again and again.
However, when it comes to gaming, that doesn't consider winning money at all. The online social casino means that a player will enter with money, but there is no cash-out options, eliminating any possibility for monetary gain. But what are the core differences between gaming and gambling?
Player Mentality
The first difference is the players' state of mind. Social casino players have different motivations for playing casino games than those who play them to earn money. Gaming attracts gamers who are there for the social aspect, including communication with people, having a great time, and simply playing the game. Many online casinos for gaming will have chats and live rooms where people can interact and even send gifts to each other. While gamblers are often attracted to online casinos, such as Casino Bros, in order to try their luck and skills in order to earn money.
About Gaming
When it comes to gaming, that doesn't necessarily refer to games played for money. Yes, those can be included, but players are mostly playing against other players for the first place. They often play games for money that have a huge amount of money for a prize, but the biggest factor is enjoying the game and what it offers, as well as the social aspect.
More importantly, gaming is not about luck and chances and odds. It is all about the player's skills. Knowing what to do, what your partner and opposing games are going to do is very important and can win you the prize. Yes, you might get lucky sometimes, but it's experience and knowledge that lead you to winning or losing the game.
About Gambling
When it comes to gambling, the situation is a bit different than gaming. There is still the factor of having fun and even socializing, but the motives are different. The major difference is that you are playing at an online casino like 918kiss or an actual one. When playing casino games, you are placing bets on sports, playing slot machines, poker, blackjack, and other table games, and you are investing money in the possibility of winning more back. Yes, your knowledge of the games and some skills can help, but the biggest factor that decides if you are going to win or lose is your luck and odds.
Why Do Some People Think They are Same?
The reason why some people think gaming and gambling are the same is because for them getting paid for something else than working is simply gambling. You can place bets against each other when playing online games, but gaming requires more than just luck. The more experience and knowledge you have on a specific game you increase your chances to win, while gambling requires mostly luck.
You also have the fact that in both industries you can get bonus codes for extra stuff to try and draw people in. For example, you may be able to claim a Casino.com bonus code for free money to bet with when it comes to gambling. And in the gaming world, you may get a bonus code for content such as cosmetic items in-game or even for a free membership to services like Xbox Game Pass. Both used in the same way to attract new people to those places.
All in all gaming and gambling are similar. However, the motivation differs, and if you are a gamer that does not necessarily mean you are a gambler. No matter which one you are, you need to remember to stay responsible. Don't put in too much money in any of the games in order to avoid the risk of losing too much without winning something. Plus, make sure to make both gaming and gambling more about fun than winning so your overall experience would be great. And don't forget to socialize and learn a few tricks, because that increases the chance of winning in both gaming and gambling.

Before there was a Spider-Man, there was The Spider—an icon of the pulp era, whose adventures thrilled readers both young and old throughout the 1930s and into the 40s. When Stan Lee's Origins of Marvel Comics was published in 1974, Lee openly discussed his love for the character and role that love played in the creation of Spider-Man:
What about the name? Why Spider-Man? Simple. In the long-dead, practically Paleolithic era when I had been on the verge of approaching teenagerhood, one of my favorite pulp magazine heroes was a stalwart named The Spider. He wore a slouch hat and a finger ring with the image of an arachnid—a ring which, when he punched a foe fearlessly in the face, would leave its mark, an impression of a spider. It was The Spider's calling card, and it sent goose pimples up and down my ten-year-old spine. More than that, I can still remember how the magazine's subtitle grabbed me. It was called The Spider— but after his name were the never-to-be-forgotten words: Master of Men. Just play with that for a moment—roll it around on your tongue, savor the fateful, fascinating flavor—The Spider, Master of Men. My mind was made up, the stage was set, the cards had been dealt. I was no more than a puppet in the shadow show of destiny.
Now, as far as I can remember, The Spider had no superhuman powers. It seems to me he was just a good guy who fought the bad guys. It was his name that grabbed me. But that was enough.
I can still remember discussing my sinister little scheme with Martin Goodman. I told him I'd try to do the whole new strip in a tongue-in-cheek manner. Everybody knew about Superman—so the time had come for a competitor to make the scene; and what fun it would be to call him Spider-Man.
Stan Lee, "The World's Best-Selling Swinger," Origins of Marvel Comics, New York: Simon and Schuster, 1974, pp. 133-134.
With Origins having been published forty-eight years ago, the influence of The Spider on Spider-Man is not exactly fresh news. But within the last six months, it was my good fortune that a random issue of TwoMorrow's Retro Fan had somehow found its way into my hands, as this particular issue had a great deal of fresh insight on The Spider and Spider-Man. Not only was the character an inspiration to Lee, but it would seem he was a big influence on artist Steve Ditko as well. As the article recounts, the many similarities between the two characters included:
- Both characters were vigilantes who caught a great deal of flack from the police (though Spidey was nowhere near as violent or lethal as his pulp predecessor).
- The Spider did not shoot webs, but did carry a cord in his cloak that he sometimes referred to as his web.
- The Spider also had a sixth sense, much like Spidey's spider sense, and it was even described at times as a "tingling."
- In one story, The Spider painted a spider symbol on the lens of a flashlight, which he then used to scare some criminals. Very much like the spider signal, obviously.
- On several occasions The Spider lamented his double life, much like Spider-Man has so often done.
In addition to fighting villains named The Octopus and Crime-Master, the article's author Will Murray also tries to make a case for the pulp story The Spider and the Slaves from Hell inspiring the classic scene from Amazing Spider-Man #33 (Feb. 1966), where Spider-Man lifts a massive pile of metal debris to save himself from certain doom. (Speaking just for myself, I remain unconvinced that the classic ASM #33 took any inspiration from that Spider story; it felt like a fairly big reach on Murray's part.)
Murray also revealed that he once interviewed Steve Ditko, and that the reclusive artist "admitted to reading at least one of the paperback reprints. And he remembered the Spider serials from the thirties and forties." (Will Murray, "The Secret Origin of Spider-Man," Retro Fan #10, Sept. 2020, pp. 27-28.)
There were two movie serials featuring The Spider, the first being released in 1938 ("The Spider's Web") and the second in 1941 ("The Spider Returns"). Like almost all those other old, B&W serials, they are readily found on YouTube today. Naturally, I gave that first serial a watch and made a pleasant discovery in the form of Blinky McQuade. This was an alias The Spider used to infiltrate the criminal underworld—take a peek for yourself (and hopefully my bookmark works):
(…If the bookmark didn't work, fast forward manually to the 22:11 mark.)
As you can see, the disguise includes a patch over the left eye. Where have we seen this before?
Yep. That Patch alias used by Frederick Foswell was clearly inspired by The Spider's alias of Blinky McQuade.
You'll also notice that while the pulp version wore the standard hat and domino mask, the serial version had a far more unique disguise:
One way or another, this design must have had some degree of influence on the design of Spider-Man's mask/costume. In fact, maybe this was why Jack Kirby had a penchant for drawing Spidey with a criss-cross pattern instead of the proper web pattern—maybe the King was thinking of the costume of the serial Spider instead of the Ditko Spidey.
Sidebar: There has also been speculation that an old, Halloween-costume design from Ben Cooper may have influenced Ditko (with it seeming likely that this Ben Cooper costume may itself have been influenced by the design of the serial Spider). More info here.
Any way you slice it, it would seem there's an awful lot of The Spider to be found in Spider-Man.

Durham is a city about 30 km south of Newcastle-upon-Tyne; it has a really magnificent
church (a striking Norman cathedral). The flag is a banner-of-arms and shows a red cross (fimbriated white) on black.
Marcus Schmöger, 24 September 2001
The City of Durham has a simple and attractive shield which is widely seen on
official notices, sign-posts, litter bins and other street furniture, etc.
It is a red cross on a black field, fimbriated white. There is at least one
place where this appears as a flag, in the market place outside the Council
offices. The flag is severely tattered, being little more than half its original
length, but it looks as though it is 1:2.
Note that Durham also gives its name to the county of which it is the 'capital'.
The county has a coat of arms which incorporates what is known as the 'St
Cuthbert's Cross'. This also appears in other coats of arms, but not in any
flags or banners of arms which I have seen, with the possible exception of a
rather unsatisfactory flag which was flying at Durham Castle, which is now part
of the University of Durham. It was a maroon field with a coat of arms,
including separate a motto, stuck in the middle of it - not at all heraldic.
André Coutanche, 29 October 2004
I have been in touch with both local and county record offices and they know
of no flag associated with Sunderland. One possible reason, is that unlike
Durham and Newcastle which were centres of Norman power, the area which is now
known as Sunderland had been an established English settlement since the 7th
century. However, a number of coats of arms have been granted since the 12th
Michael Brown, 25 April 2003
Marcus E.V. Schmöger 24 September 2001
The word molet (more usually spelled mullet) means a star, and in Britain usually a five-pointed star. (Any other number of points is specified.) A mullet with a hole in the middle (pierced) is called a spur rowel, so the explanation in brackets is incorrect, since the mullets in both the Washington family arms and the District of Columbia flag are whole, not pierced.

LISD hoops coach dies
By Brian Besch
Livingston basketball coach Calvin Phillips died Tuesday night following medical complications.
Phillips resigned for the 2022-23 school year in order to have hip areplacement surgery on both legs. The process was supposed to take around nine months before he could return on light duty.
Just before the surgery, blood work was performed and the surgery was canceled after it was found there were issues. A few weeks later Phillips was diagnosed with bone cancer. He took injections for treatment in his hips.
He died Tuesday night in his sleep at his home.
Livingston athletic director Finis Vanover hired Phillips in 2006 at Angleton to become his head basketball coach. The two met when he was head coach and athletic director at West Columbia. Phillips there was the athletic director, head football coach and head basketball at different points in time. He took over Lion hoops in July of 2020.
The coach had stops at Cleveland, Wharton, Columbia, Stafford, Brazoswood, Angleton, Dickinson, Brazosport and Livingston since 1978.
"He was a great, great family guy," Vanover said of his friend. "He loved his kids. He and Rodney were close. He raised his grandson, who just graduated from Manvel year before last and he plays basketball at Sam Houston.
"He was very family-oriented and a deeply religious guy. He was a tremendous mentor for his family and the kids around him. He went around and did tons of stuff quietly in the background for kids in the community and families everywhere he had ever been. He was a down-to-earth and caring type of guy. He was passionate about his profession and coaching. He was hard-nosed when he had to be and just as fun loving and genuinely kind all at the same time — whatever mask he had to wear to get to each individual kid."
Funeral arrangements are set for E. Viola & Sons Funeral Home in West Columbia, Texas. The funeral will be Saturday, Aug. 27 at 11 a.m. A viewing and memorial service will be 5-7 p.m. the day before at Life Foursquare Church in Angleton, Texas.

The common knowledge is that Progressive Web App, while engaging in its user experience and significantly faster than the traditional website, is still limited in its hardware capabilities. This is a direct result of the fact that a typical Progressive Web App is still very much a webpage that relies on the Standard Web capabilities to deliver app-like features (e.g. push notifications, add to home screen, and so on).
But just how comparable is it to a typical mobile native application?
That's what we're here to find out.
PWA and Hardware Access
A PWA relies on Web APIs (Web Application Programming Interfaces) to access hardware features, and as a result of which, hardware access in PWA is oftentimes a hit or miss since not all browsers are the same. In the best-case scenario—that is if all hardware access APIs are supported in the browser in use—a Progressive Web App can be just as fully functional as a typical mobile app, barring a few capabilities which we'll be discussing below.
Here's an overview of some of the features previously exclusive to native apps that PWA can now take advantage of:
User location can now be requested using the geolocation API which uses available location-capturing methods on the user's device, e.g., Wi-Fi, GPS, or GSM. Almost all browsers support geolocation nowadays so it shouldn't be an issue for most developers.
- Device Orientation & Motion
With the right implementation, PWAs can accurately capture the orientation and motion of the user's device in three dimensions. This is all possible thanks to the DeviceOrientationEvent and DeviceMotionEvent.
- Full access to camera & microphone
Full access to the user's camera and microphone is available and supported in most Chromium-based browsers. Besides the basic features, you now also can gain access to advanced features such as Advance Camera Controls, Shape Detection, and Speech Recognition.
- Vibration
Vibration is also supported in almost all modern browsers and the implementation process is relatively effortless even to the laymen:
var vibrate = navigator.vibrate || navigator.mozVibrate; // 2-second vibration vibrate(2000); // 2-second vibration followed by a half-second pause, and then followed by another 2-second vibration. vibrate([2000, 500, 2000]);
- Augmented Reality
With WebXR Device API, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are finally possible on the Web. This is all still a relatively recent phenomenon in web development, but you can expect the API to only be more polished in the near future.
Of course, the hardware capabilities of a typical PWA are not limited to just these. For a full list of currently supported features in a PWA, head over to WhatWebCanDo as the site has done a good job of covering this aspect quite extensively. Do note that different browsers will show different hardware capabilities since not all browsers have the same capabilities.
Where PWA is still lacking
The Web is growing fast in its hardware capabilities, but apparently not that fast. Here are some of the current hardware limitations that PWA is facing:
- System access: PWAs still struggle to make changes to the device in a systemic level, which includes access to system settings, logs, etc
- Low-level hardware access: While there are certainly some recent improvements made on the low-level APIs front, it's not nearly enough to consider PWA to be on-par with native mobile apps in this regard. Web NFC (Near Field Communication) API, for example, is currently only available as a
experimental flag in Chrome, and not yet available for public use due to security and privacy concerns. - Telephonic features: There are some workarounds to deal with this, but the fact of the matter is that your typical PWA can't make phone calls and send SMS/MMS. This shouldn't be an issue for most developers though, as a simple Web OTP API should be enough for most use cases.
Unless your goal is to make a deeply integrated native app that can take advantage of all the resources that are on the user's device, PWA should still be a decent alternative to consider; and if you factor in all the benefits of a PWA which includes the ability to work cross-device, it should be a no brainer pick for most businesses out there.
For Magento merchants who wish to implement PWA, SimiCart's Magento PWA is a reliable & affordable solution that can greatly leverage the user experience of your site.
