Where History Meets the Moment
Warwick San Francisco is a captivating reflection of the city in which it resides, striking a perfect balance between authentic history and modern hospitality. Ideally located just steps from bustling Union Square and its world-class shopping, theaters and landmark attractions, the Warwick is a residential-style hideaway at the intersection of action and allure.
Guests need to venture no further than the lobby for an authentic taste of San Francisco. BOTA, is the Warwick's innovative dining concept featuring Spanish Tapas. Just across the elegant lobby, The European, is a stylish and intimate bar serving European influenced cocktails with a local twist.
Notably, the Warwick shares the same architect as San Francisco's Coit Tower and City Hall, Arthur Brown Jr. A historic hotel for the modern traveler, the Beaux-Arts style hotel was established in 1913 as The Maryland Hotel and was affectionately called, "The House of Sunshine and Hospitality."
Throughout the hotel's design and service, stories of past and present are told. In its simplicity and grace, Warwick San Francisco does not dictate the experience of its guests; rather it serves as an elegant backdrop for their own distinct story to unfold.

What's wrong with your TRU that they keep stocking new TCW figures? Don't they realize this is against their business model of only stocking Clone Wars figures from 2009?
I literally might have a heart attack if I walked into a TRU around here and found a Clone Wars figures less than six months old.
You can't even order a Magnaguard direct from Hasbro! I guess my dreams of finding one for opening is dead.

Our efforts over the past several years to amplify the travel industry's relevance with policymakers resulted in a major win for our industry this week. Yesterday in Orlando, FL, President Obama announced a national strategy on travel and tourism to boost travel to and within the United States.
Key components of the President's initiative include the creation of an interagency task force charged with developing a National Travel & Tourism Strategy, shortening visa wait times, expanding Global Entry, promoting our national parks, and working to expand the visa waiver program.

My favorite part of the book is when there is a flood because it shows how the land changes. The flood reminds me of the Ohio River. Sometimes the Ohio River floods and covers farms that are close to the river. The artist of this book uses differnt colors, but every page also uses black ink to outline different parts of the drawings.
Second and third graders could read this book on their own because the words in this book are second and third grade level words. Anyone who likes rivers would also like this book because it shows the river as it changes.


text: United in their love of stories about young girls retreating into magical worlds and having shitty guardians, Pan's Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro and Beasts Of The Southern Wild co-writer Lucy Alibar are partnering on another adaptation of The Secret Garden for Universal. The project was originally intended for del Toro to direct, just long enough for everyone to have a good, hearty laugh about what has become an inherently sarcastic suggestion, given the list of things del Toro is attached to at any given moment. However, del Toro will still "guide Alibar creatively"—using a combination of electric shocks and macaroons, maybe—as they attempt to find their own unexpected path to Frances Hodgson Burnett's novel that hasn't already been realized in the many extant stage and screen versions. "I'm just spitballing here, but what if we put some monsters in the garden?" del Toro will say.

Nissan-Renault's Ghosn: From Hero To Zero
The once-famed Nissan leader has fallen with allegations relating to financial misconduct and dragging the company along with him. Click To Tweet
In a time when Nissan was on the brink of declaring bankruptcy, Carlos Ghosn stepped in not only to save the company but help it to rise back as one of the world's top car manufacturers. Today, Nissan is facing a similar financial crisis, but this time around, the Japanese carmaker had Ghosn removed from the company.
Through Ghosn's efforts of restructuring and eventually, reintroducing innovations to Nissan, the company rose significantly within the last two decades under Ghosn's lead. He also made the Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi agreement possible that made them one of the leading car companies in the world.
The company had a good track record. But, CNN reported last Tuesday, May 14, that Nissan posted a significant drop in profits where operating profits plunged to 45% at 318 billion yen ($2.9 billion) in the fiscal year that ended in March and revenue fell 3% to about 11.6 trillion yen ($105 billion), while vehicle sales were down 4.4% to 5.5 million.
This is "rock bottom," Nissan CEO Hiroto Saikawa said during the earnings presentation.
Moreover, analysts also expect Nissan to plunge at decade-low numbers in the coming year. Nissan forecasts operating profit for the fiscal year to March 2020 would fall to 230 billion ($2.1 billion). Also, Nissan shares closed down at 3% in Tokyo.
On Friday, May 17, the Japanese carmaker proposed plans to make changes within its executive board as a reaction to Ghosn's fallout from the company.
The firm told shareholders that they would start implementing a new board structure composed of 11 members, which 6 of whom would be external.
"With the lessons from the recent executive misconduct still fresh, Nissan resolves to rigorously pursue the separation of supervisory and executive functions," said the firm.
Thierry Bollore, Renault's chief executive and chairman Jean-Dominique Senard will both be included in the proposed board.
Nissan conceded to allowing Senard into the board though Bollore's urges. The Japanese firm isn't too happy about Senard siding with Ghosn during his arrest.
On the other hand, Nissan's current CEO Hiroto Saikawa has also been reported to be pressured from vacating his position in the company for doubts that he is capable of turning things around for the company and his close relations with Ghosn.
Saikawa responded that he wishes to stay on the company until he sees it return to profitability and will consider the idea of stepping down "at the appropriate time."
Additionally, Saikawa told reporters that Renault chairman Senard "has one idea in mind, which is integration or merger." He also added that "what we've told Mr. Senard is this is not the right timing to discuss this matter."
Regarding the topic of a possible merger between Renault and Nissan, the Japanese company seems to be against the idea since Nissan brings in a lot more profitable compared to the two. But, ironically, Renault holds more stake in the company.
Obviously, the Japanese brand has been struggling to manage internal structures with Ghosn leaving its ranks for multiple cases alleging financial misconduct.
Allegedly, Ghosn is accused of abusing and taking advantage of his power and position in the company to meet personal gains. Specifically, Ghosn allegedly used a Nissan subsidiary to send millions of dollars of payments to a business partner of the company abroad, which then sent money to a third company that he controlled. The actions were taken for the purpose of obtaining a "personal profit," The New York Times reports.
Prosecutors accused Ghosn of using the method on three occasions from December 2015 to July 2018, resulting in a total of $5 million in losses to Nissan.
As of date, Ghosn has been arrested on four separate occasions including the first arrest in November on charges of underreporting his compensation. The second when he was rearrested on related charges and then a third time on suspicion that he had shifted his personal financial losses onto Nissan's books.
However, Ghosn and his team of lawyers have consistently denied all allegations about him. In a video Ghosn posted before his fourth arrest, he told that the allegations made against him "is about a plot, this is about conspiracy, this is about backstabbing."
Meanwhile, the French carmaker, Renault also made new allegations against Ghosn, claiming that there were "questionable and concealed practices" regarding the expenses made under Ghosn. Moreover, Renault also announced Ghosn's resignation from its board.
The '2019 NAACP Image Awards' Issues And Winners
The 2019 NAACP Image Awards has made Hollywood celebrities jam-packed in a star-studded night held at the Dolby Theater for the first time in history as the organization celebrates its 50th anniversary.
This year's event focuses on celebrating 'the accomplishments of people of color in the fields of television, music, literature, and film, as well as, honoring groups or individuals who promote social justice through creative endeavors.'
The NAACP Image Award is an annual awards' ceremony presented by the US-based National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to honor outstanding performances in film, television, music, and literature.
Similar to other awards like the Oscars and the Grammys, more than 40 categories of the Image Awards are voted on and agreed upon by the organization's members while Honorary Awards are added which include President's Award, Chairman's Award, Entertainment of the Year and the Hall of Fame Award.
Below are the lists of awards and nominations that were given to outstanding Hollywood actors and actresses who show significant roles in the field of entertainment.
Anthony Anderson hosted the said event who won Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series for his role in black-ish. Netflix and HBO had the highest number of nominations garnering 22 and 20 nominees respectively. While ABC followed closely behind with 18, and Black Panther tailed on as it gathered 14 nominations including Best Motion Picture.
Donald Glover's hit show Atlanta is nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series alongside black-ish, Dear White People, Grown-ish and Insecure.
The most coveted and prominent award is given to 'Jay-Z' known as 'President's Award' which centers on dedication to public service. The rapper, during his speech, acknowledged the roles of strong black women who dedicated their full acting prowess in the entertainment world and helped shape future generations through its influential parts in TV shows.
Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series goes to Tracee Ellis Ross in her role in black-ish (ABC.
Empire Star 'Jussie Smollett' who has been at the center of investigation which shocked the world by faking an attack on January 29 is nominated in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series category. However, he refused to attend the awards night and therefore lost his chance to receive the said reward. On Tuesday, Chicago prosecutors announced that all charges against him were dropped.
Marcus Scribner won an Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series from black-ish (ABC) and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, went to Marsai Martin also from black-ish.
The hit series 'Power' (Starz) won the Outstanding Drama Series with Omari Hardwick as the Best Actor for Drama Series, also the lead star of Power. The Best Actress for Drama Series revealed to be Taraji P. Henson for her role in Empire from Fox.
Jesse Williams bagged the Supporting Actor in a Drama Series from the all-time hit TV series, Grey's Anatomy from ABC. Its counterpart is claimed by Lynn Whitfield from Greenleaf which faced several criticisms from its competitor Thandie Newton in Westworld who believed that the award should be given to someone who has a critical role in TV series.
The long list of the award also gave importance to television movie, and the Outstanding Television Movies, Limited Series or Dramatic Special is awarded to The Bobby Brown Story, and the Outstanding Actor for the same category went to Michael B.Jordan for his award-winning role in Fahrenheit 451, while Regina King from Seven Seconds (Netflix) received the award in the female category.
The Real, won the award for Outstanding Talk Series, and Black Girls Rock for the Outstanding Variety Show. The long-running Doc Mcstuffins from Disney Junior took the Outstanding Children's Program, while the Outstanding Performance by A Youth Series went to Marsai Martin of black-ish.
Several hosts are also given honor for their outstanding performances for Talk/Variety and Game show. Steve Harvey won Outstanding Host in the Game show from Family Feud, Jada Pinkett Smith, Adrienne Banfield Norris and Willow Smith for Red Table Talk under the Outstanding Host in News/Information Category.
In the music category, major awards were bagged by Bruno Mars for Outstanding Male Artist and H.E.R under RCA Records for the female group.
The said event is an avenue for black people to be recognized for portraying significant roles in different TV programs, but NAACP is being criticized for its flawed standards of choosing the nominees. Critics are pointing out factors such as criminal charges inconsequential in this regard, just like the case of Jussie Smollet who was nominated for a significant award despite his criminal offense.
The nomination of Smollet is similar to the case of Tupac Shakur in 1994. The artist was nominated for Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture in a film 'Poetic Justice' despite the filing of sexual assault charges against him. R Kelly is no exception to the controversy, where his album Chocolate Factory was nominated for Outstanding Album while he was under indictment for costs related to child pornography.
Although significant issues currently surround NAACP, the organization is still determined to continue its effort on acknowledging the contribution of black people to the entertainment world and field of art as a whole. Other individual and minor awards can be viewed through the organization's website at www.naacpimageawards.net

Netflix's Queer Eye: Starting Conversations About Differences And Changing Lives
We are living in a world where differences are highlighted more than similarities. It has made conversations about things that matter very polarized, and understanding seems to be a pipe dream for everyone. That is why it is essential for people to be reminded that there are more things that we all share rather than things that keep us apart.
It is with this premise that Netflix's Queer Eye is born.
The new Queer Eye is hosted by five gay guys known as the Fab 5, each of them having specific expertise. Antoni Porowski is the show's resident food and wine expert. He helps the "heroes" to prepare food for themselves and their families. Jonathan Van Ness, the grooming expert, helps the chosen heroes to establish a day-to-day grooming routine to take care of their bodies. The heroes are dressed and improved in the fashion aspect by Tan France, and their homes/spaces were renovated and redesigned by Bobby Berk to suit their needs. Karamo Brown is the life coach that helps the heroes overcome their fear and build more confidence in them.
In hindsight, the premise of the show is very stereotypical. The roles of the Fab 5, the fashion expert, interior designer, and hair stylist, in particular, are the stereotypical roles given to gays and members of the LGBTQ community.
When you think of fashion, style, and design, the first thing that comes to your mind is that either women or gay guys do it. That's why the show, to an extent, is perpetuating a narrative that fashion experts and groomers and interior designers are gay people.
True enough. However, the little stereotyping that happens in the show is compensated by the conversations that happen every episode. In a way, through the help of these "gay fashionista" or "gay hairstylist" or "gay interior designer," people will start to realize that these aspects of human lives are necessary for everyone – even for straight guys.
In most of the episodes, the show has seen heroes who are adamant of wearing certain types of clothing because they think they think that dressing up a certain way is a way for them to either be comfortable or otherwise they might be seen as less masculine. But their minds change in the end, always. After Tan France makes them understand that dressing up doesn't need to be loud or obnoxious for it to be appropriate or hip or in trend, the heroes, in most cases, embrace the change.
It is with this kind of narrative that Queer Eye aims to affect the same change to their audience. While not everyone will become "heroes," everyone will still be getting the same fashion, grooming, food, interior design, and culture advice from the Fab 5. By this, the conversation is extended from that of between the Fab 5 and the heroes to the show and its audience.
The conversation does not end at that, however. Real issues are being tackled in the show, and as the hosts in recent interviews claim, most of those conversations are not produced nor directed. Meaning, the message that gay people can contribute something in the society is a narrative that organically happens in the show.
In one episode in the first season of Queer Eye, the Fab 5 were stopped by a police officer as they drive to the new hero. Tan France and Karamo Brown, both POCs, had echoed how they feared for their lives when that happened. While the entire thing was just orchestrated by production, the hosts were not briefed about it, and thus their reactions were genuinely organic.
Karamo later said to the hero, which was a police officer, that he was honestly hesitant to have a conversation with him because he was a cop. This conversation led to a discussion on the reality that black people are facing right now in America and the Black Lives Matter movement. As the police officer apologized on behalf of all the cops in America for their atrocities against POCs, Karamo felt like it was a form of "healing" for him.
In another episode, the Fab 5 was tasked to make over a devout Christian black woman and the community center of her church. During the episode, Bobby Berk refused to get inside the church because "he might break down" and because he "promised myself that I would never get inside another church again."
Berk's life story is eerily similar to most gay men. At the age of 15, Bobby, who was raised in a very religious family, ran away from his home because he was gay. He said that the church consistently taught him that gays are an abomination and being one is a sin.
In the end, Bobby had an emotional conversation with Mama Tammy, who also had a gay son, and made them learn the lesson of acceptance and love – an experience that the show has successfully translated for its audience to learn from.
Five gay guys helping straight people make their lives better is just the tip of the iceberg. It is the conversations that organically happen that make shows like Queer Eye necessary. We need more Fab 5 in the entertainment industry, and we need more Queer Eyes to open the world's minds to the reality other people are living.
It is in the hope that through these shows, people will learn a thing or two about tolerance and acceptance – that more things keep us together than pull us apart.
The third season of Queer Eye was released by Netflix on March 15, 2019. /apr

TL;DR: Automate WebKit with PhantomJS to get specific Web site data.
This is the first post in a series about gathering Web site reconnaissance with PhantomJS.
My first major engagement with Neohapsis involved compiling a Web site survey for a global legal services firm. The client was preparing for a compliance assessment against Article 29 of the EU Data Protection Directive, which details disclosure requirements for user privacy and usage of cookies. The scope of the engagement involved working with their provided list of IP addresses and domain names to validate their active and inactive Web sites and redirects, count how many first party and third party cookies each site placed, identify any login forms, and determine the presence of links to site privacy policy and cookie policy.
Remember how I said that PhantomJS would render a Web page like Safari or Chrome? This was very important to the project as I needed to capture the Web site attributes in the same way a typical user would encounter the site. We needed to account for redirects from either the Web server or from JavaScript, and any first or third party cookies along the way. As it turns out, PhantomJS provides a way to capture URL changes with the page.OnUrlChanged callback function, which I used to log the redirects and final destination URL. The page.cookies attribute includes all first and third party cookies without any additional work as PhantomJS makes all of the needed requests and script executions already. Check out my version of the script in chs2-basic.coffee.
This is the command invocation. It takes two arguments: a text file with one URL per line and a file name prefix for the output files.
phantomjs chs2-basic.coffee [in.txt] [prefix]
This snippet writes out the cookies into a JSON string and appends it to an output file.
if status is 'success' # output JSON of cookies from page, one JSON string per line # format: url:(requested URL from input) pageURL:(resolved Location from the PhantomJS "Address Bar") cookie: object containing cookies set on the page fs.write system.args[2] + ".jsoncookies", JSON.stringify({url:url,pageURL:page.url,cookie:page.cookies})+"\n", 'a'
In a followup post, I'll discuss how to capture page headers and detect some common platform stacks.

First Selectman Micheal Tetreau said the town's new website should be up and running by the end of February. The website's provider will be the same one used for town websites in Trumbull and Darien. Those municipal sites are run by QScend Technologies of Waterbury, which also runs websites for Bridgeport, Waterbury, Middletown and Bethel.
Fairfield's website -- www.fairfieldct.org -- is currently managed by the town, though the town is now using QContent, which is a feature of QScend, to manage online agendas and minutes of town boards and commissions and the town calendar, according to Kathleen Griffin, Tetreau's administrative assistant who is helping to launch the new website. QScend also now manages the Parks and Recreation Department's website, which is separate from the town site, Griffin said. "Parks and Rec, in and of itself, is just a website created by QScend for Parks and Rec," Griffin said. "That was done as a separate entity because they had so much functionality."
Websites for the Police and Fire departments also are separate from the town's website, though not managed by QScend, and Griffin said the goal is to eventually fold those websites into the town's overal website. The Police and Fire departments' websites are now accessible through links on the home page of the town website.
Tetreau said Fairfield's new website will have "a lot more information" and be easier to navigate. The new website also will be more interactive, Griffin said.
Tetreau said each town department will have a frequently-asked-questions section and a better description of what takes place in the department, which he said would save time for both residents and town employees. "We've been collecting that information over the last six months. There will be a lot more content on the new website," he said.
Griffin said the new website will be better organized and allow residents to submit "citizen service requests" for, among other things, tree inspections, pothole repairs and trash in the road. She said the town has installed QAlert, a citizen request management feature of QScend, but is only using it internally to test it. The new website also will allow residents to sign up to receive agendas for town boards and press releases from Sullivan-Independence Hall, Griffin said.
"The idea is to make it a much more productive tool for our residents and town employees, and a more user-friendly format throughout so it's easier to navigate," Tetreau said.
Griffin said the new website's address will likely remain the same, www.fairfieldct.org. But the home page will look much different, she said. "There will be a lot less things visible on the homepage. The homepage is going to be more of a generic page of the website and you'll go into separate sections," she said. "We're trying to simplify that home page because it's overwhelming."
The town in August 2012 requested residents' input on the current website and what features they would like to see added. Griffin said about a half-dozen residents responded and their requests included rotating photos; links to other governmental websites; a list of town goals and objectives that go beyond finances; a way for residents to obtain town forms, make service requests, apply for membership on boards and commissions and sign up to receive agendas of town boards and commissions via e-mail; better organization of information; a first selectman's blog, which since has been added; the ability to file ethics complaints online; and a way to navigate to the home page from any other page, which has since been added.
"It was not a large response," Griffin said of the number of residents who offered ideas. But she said the new website will be a work-in-progress and that she expects more residents will offer ideas once it's up and running. "We can add to it as we need to and as requests come in," she said.
Tetreau said his "case study" for the town needing a new website came a couple of years ago when he was on the website looking for guidelines for homeowners who live in the town's three historic districts. "I couldn't find them anywhere," he said. He said revamping the website has taken a while because it was a part-time effort and the cost to do it was spread over two fiscal years in the town budget.
The cost of having QScend update the town's new website is $11,550, plus an annual hosting charge of $1,200, Griffin said. She said those costs don't include prior work that QScend did related to the Parks and Recreation Department's website or the QContent feature used on the current website for minutes, agendas and the town calendar.
Tetreau said the town started its Facebook page as a way to get information out to residents before launching the new website. "We did Facebook because we didn't have a good-enough website. Facebook is available at no cost, so we chose that as a bridge," he said.
The town's Facebook page, which is "liked" by several thousand people, will continue after the new website is up because it's a valuable tool for town officials to communicate to residents, the first selectman said.

What is Pain?
Learn about Treatments for Pain
Pain is an unpleasant sensation in animals that is caused by actual or perceived injury to body tissues and produces physical and emotional reactions. Presumably, pain sensation has evolved to protect our bodies from harm by causing us to perform certain actions and avoid others. Pain might be called a protector, a predictor, or simply a hassle. In this article, I will discuss some basic concepts of pain.
We all experience pain to greater or lesser degrees at various points of our lives. It is said that pain is the most common reason patients seek medical attention. But, each of us perceives a given pain stimulus in our own unique manner. The intensity of the response to a pain stimulus is largely subjective, meaning the severity of the pain can most accurately be defined by the person with the pain, rather than by other observers
Our individual pain perception can vary at different times, even in response to the identical stimulus. For example, an athlete during competition may not be able to feel the tissue injury of a cut or a bruise until the competition has finished. We may feel more or less pain depending on our mood, sleep pattern, hunger, or activity.
Pain is typically classified as either acute or chronic. Acute pain is of sudden onset and is usually the result of a clearly defined cause such as an injury. Acute pain resolves with the healing of its underlying cause. Chronic pain persists for weeks or months and is usually associated with an underlying condition, such as arthritis. The severity of chronic pain can be mild, moderate, or severe.
The treatment of pain depends on its cause and the overall health of the individual affected. The primary goal of pain treatment is to return the patient to optimal function. Treatments of pain can be classified as either non-medical or medical.
Non-medical treatment options for various forms of pain include observation, rest, stretching, exercise, weight reduction, heat or ice applications, and various alternative treatments including acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, manipulation, electrical stimulation, biofeedback, hypnosis, and surgical procedures.
Medical treatments include three basic drug forms to treat pain (analgesics): Non-opioid drugs, opioid drugs, and drugs that are used to complement other analgesics (adjuvant drugs).

One of our biggest success this season was applying instructor pre-services at Mt Colleges. Sue Hanson, Chief executive of AMS, met Mt College Teacher of the Year, Delena Norris-Tull, at a conference in California, DC. Following their discussion, Dr. Delena Norris-Tull started out up her academic setting for farming knowledge instructor pre-service training. Dr. Delena Norris-Tull has asked for farming knowledge be provided to all pre-service instructors from this point forward at European. Agriculture in Mt School s 4-6 quality program, Mt Kids, Creatures, and Merchandise was accomplished. The 4-6 quality program contains over 190 pages of session programs and actions, each incorporated and written to condition requirements. An business economics area was added for levels 5-9, indicating some of the key components of farming business economics. Classes are now available on cd and the AMS website. A relationship with DNRC led to a Mt Rangelands program. Positive benefits of grazing, rancher management of rangelands, and several uses were the focus. Training programs (developed or adapted) and a vibrant and academic poster associated the venture. Fifty one FFA Sections promised to build and flower academic setting garden bins with primary learners for AMS. A lack of farming knowledge degrees at Mt State School led to an SAE program for FFA learners, who will experience training in a 5th quality academic setting with brief and precise patterned lessons on farming technology topics, designed by the Ag Literacy Professional. The competition (formerly known as the Fender Tag contest) has had some changes and is now called the Show Me and Show Me about Mt Agriculture competition. This seasons successful art work and catch phrases will be produced on placemats along with formulas for Mt s best commodities. Placemats are allocated to academic institutions, dining places, and businesses across Mt as part of Nat l Ag Week parties.
I was brought up in Mt in a very little city next to Glacier Nationwide Recreation area, and have resided in Mt most of my life. My family contains my partner Mark, and our two children. I joined Mt State School and gained my basic levels in 2001. I finished with a Experts in Knowledge and Program Instruction/Development in 2007. My interest and love of farming started when I went to spend summertime assisting my granny on her city. I went on to be engaged in farming as an excellent pupil, and I also analyzed farming during my basic level. My partner and I have managed little plants over the last 18 decades, increasing plants like great, qualified hay, and piedmontese meat along with our conventional plants. I have been engaged with AITC for 4 decades. During the first two decades I was operating as a instructor in an elementary/middle university where I trained flower sciences among other topics, and proved helpful with Ag in Mt Educational institutions. I have been engaged in the Nationwide Agriculture in the Educational setting company for about 2 decades. I enjoy dealing with Agriculture in the Educational setting, and find that farming knowledge is really very much popular by instructors and learners as our world goes away from its farming origins.

YSL Shoes – Peep Toes Add Six Inches Height And A Thousand Style PointsCategories:Christian Louboutin I was really excited to try out these YSL shoes, the Peep Toe Platform heels, the latest in our flurry of shoes reviews from PV. I'm finding, much like the Gucci shoes we reviewed recently, that while shoes are a difficult thing to replicate, perhaps even more so than handbags in some cases. If not for getting the look right, but for the comfort and like, the durability of the shoe.
Shoes are a practical item in other words, and a good replica has to be comfortable and not give you awful blisters or have the heel break on you. In terms of the quality of the construction, these YSL shoes from PV are sensational. They're super comfortable for such a high heel and the seams and construction are really well done. I would certainly say the same for the Gucci shoes I've recently tried. Style-wise they've pretty much got it. The only difference is a slightly lighter leather on the interior of this shoe. While that is annoying it's not a deal-breaker for me. I did some investigating and didn't find any other replica that matched this quality for these particular shoes.

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (Samsung Mobile) – the No. 1 mobile phone provider in the United States and a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., the No. 1 smartphone provider worldwide1 – commissioned a study to identify behaviors and attitudes of both IT executives and consumers toward the "Bring Your Own Device" or BYOD trend. While both audiences indicate support for BYOD and the work/life-balance benefits it typically enables, the study highlights key synergies as well as critical gaps between IT executives and their employees that will need to be addressed as BYOD becomes the norm within the next two years.
Among the top findings of the study executed by IDG Research Services, 85% of companies support BYOD today, and more than 70% of IT executives surveyed believe companies without a BYOD strategy will be at a competitive disadvantage. Moreover, 81% of IT decision-makers and 78% of employees believe that having a single mobile device helps balance employees' work and personal lives.
Yet the gap between IT decision maker and employee outlooks on device priorities and preferences underscores a "disconnect" between what IT executives need in order to achieve business goals and what employees need to do their jobs. The largest difference in opinion exists between the two groups on access to company productivity solutions and resources (i.e. CRM), with 49% of IT executives stating this functionality as a top priority, while only 28% of employees agreed. For 43% of the employees surveyed, the top priority is the ability to share large files compared with just 23% of IT executives.
The most significant concern of both consumers and IT executives is the issue of security. While 49% of consumers surveyed believe that the mobile device will become the primary computing device for work-related activities within the next five years, achieving this level of mobile productivity may depend on whether or not hardware and software providers can address security concerns. The majority of IT executives (84%) and employees (74%) alike identified the issue of device security as the most important factor influencing future BYOD policies such as pre-approved device lists.
"The BYOD Index validates the importance of SAFE – Samsung For Enterprise," said Tim Wagner, Vice President and GM of Enterprise Sales at Samsung Mobile. "We have consciously made the decision to provide consumers and businesses with the very best devices for both work and personal use and ensuring SAFE seamlessly addresses the ever changing compliance requirements of IT."
By offering advanced MDM, VPN, EAS and encryption capabilities, the "SAFE™" (Samsung For Enterprise) program helps eliminate fragmentation across carriers, device types and OS versions, making the job of the IT manager much easier in a BYOD environment. SAFE creates consistency across devices so that once one SAFE device is approved by a corporation's IT department, other SAFE devices can be easily added to the "approved" list for BYOD. By combining these enterprise-grade features with highly desirable smartphones and tablets, Samsung Mobile is helping to foster consumer choice and IT compliance.

SOCORRO, N.M., July 8, 2002 -- A hydrologist and a geologist at New Mexico Tech have joined an international team of researchers in an ongoing investigation of Panama's Rio Chagres Watershed, with the goal of providing a better understanding of the hydrology, geology, and chemistry makeup of the watershed.
Jan Hendrickx, professor of hydrology at New Mexico Tech, and Bruce Harrison, associate professor of geology at the research university, have teamed up with researchers from four countries to determine the hydrologic properties of soils typically found along the dense tropical forest that abuts the length of the Panama Canal.
The Rio Chagres and its tributaries have long played an important role in Panama's history, up to the watershed's current international significance as the major supplier of the millions of gallons a day needed to operate the Panama Canal's lake and lock system and provide hydro-electric power to open and close the locks. In addition, the watershed serves as the primary source of drinking water for Panama City and nearby communities.
"The area which surrounds the Panama Canal really is the ideal test site for studying these types of watersheds,"
Hendrickx says. "From the Atlantic to the Pacific, there's a strong gradient of precipitation--which goes from very low to
very high as you travel east to west--all within a span of less than 100 miles."
The primary water source of the Chagres Watershed is a range of steep, dome-shaped mountains that are covered with an emerald canopy of dense, tropical cloud forest.
It is in this lush setting that Hendrickx, Harrison and fellow researchers set up field camps earlier this year to study the flora, fauna, and geology of this important watershed in Central America.
The New Mexico Tech geoscientists worked with a research group whose focus was characterizing soils and hydrology in the area, using geomorphology and cosmogenic dating techniques.
"We were there taking samples during what was essentially the dry season in Panama, so there wasn't much runoff occurring," Hendrickx says. "Most of the rain that did fall during that time was taken up by the vegetation."
Yet, Hendrickx and Harrison noticed that streams and rivulets were discharging throughout the forest, usually from various holes found at the base of the steep slopes.
Hendrickx says that preliminary analyses show that the soils being tested from these areas are of very high clay content, and
subsequently exhibit very high water-retention capacity.
"Because of these soil characteristics, the watershed basically acts like a big sponge," Harrison relates.
"We were further able to identify several areas in our field study where water was flowing out of the soil, in some places directly from these holes we found along the slopes," he adds.
During the last half of the last century, more than two- thirds of the tropical forest that adjoins the Canal Zone were cut down, mostly through slash-and-burn methods employed by subsistence farmers moving into the areas.
"There was a lot of pressure at one time to clear up parts of the Canal's forests for agriculture," Harrison says. "Families typically would stay for two or three years to farm the land, but would then move on because the soil is so infertile.
"People in Panama are now questioning what impact these deforestation methods that were being used will now have on their current water supply," Harrison relates.
"If you take all the jungle out, then you're definitely going to have a significant impact, particularly with respect to sediment yield and water yield in these types of watersheds," he asserts.
In an effort to reverse the deterioration of the tropical forests surrounding the Panama Canal, many of these endangered environments in Panama are now under the federal protection of its national park and nature reserve systems -- a conservation management plan that seems to have markedly slowed the decimation of the Canal's vital watersheds.
However, the Canal Watershed Monitoring Project, which is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development and
administered by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, recently determined that water degradation--caused by the combined effects of erosion, sedimentation, and eutrophication (the natural process by which lakes age)--may soon become the largest threat to the future of the Panama Canal.
Since the upper Chagres Watershed has largely been free of human activity and colonization, the scientific information derived from the international, multidisciplinary study being conducted by the New Mexico Tech researchers and their collaborators may soon provide valuable data to ensure the sustained viability of the much larger Panama Canal Watershed, as well as other watersheds around the world that are faced with similar problems.
"The type of rainfall gradient that we encountered in the tropical cloud forests, just 40 miles or so outside of Panama City, are similar to those found in places like Hawaii, New Zealand, and northern Australia," Harrison points out.
In addition to the New Mexico Tech geoscientists participating in the Chagres Watershed study, other researchers
involved are from Colorado State University, University of Vermont, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Smithsonian Tropical
Research Institute, Universidad Tecnologica de Panama, and Goettingen University in Germany, as well as from three U.S. Army research organizations, including the Army Research Office and the Yuma and Aberdeen proving grounds.

Start Safe Program
Young children are at an increased risk for injury and death resulting from motor vehicle collisions, pedestrian collisions, drowning, fires and burns. The Start Safe program was designed to give preschool teachers, fire and life safety educators, and other safety experts the tools they need to reach preschool children and their families. The Start Safe program offers free resources that were created to meet the learning needs of young children and adults with low literacy skills. The materials are available in both English and Spanish.
Safe Kids' coalitions provide training and resources and conduct car seat check up events for parents and caregivers of Head Start center students.
Currently, Safe Kids Worldwide offers three components to the Start Safe program:
Early childhood educators can use the Start Safe program to present classroom lessons that help young children learn to recognize and stay away from fire and burn hazards, how to ride the school bus safely, how to be a safe occupant and safe pedestrian, and how to make safe decisions in and around water. Educators and other safety experts can also use the Start Safe program materials to help parents and caregivers make their homes safer.
