Testing OCASIO-CORTEZ's primary clout — CUOMO's beef with CHARTER-SPECTRUM heats up — DE BLASIO talks Democratic Socialism in the Big Easy — How JARED KUSHNER suppressed news at the Observer
Presented by Citizens for the Preservation of Wainscott
By Jimmy Vielkind in Albany and Laura Nahmias in Manhattan, with Daniel Lippman
Everywhere you go these days, people have got an opinion about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Depending on who you ask (and even when you don't ask), folks are ready to volunteer whether they think she's a standard-bearer for the bright future of the Democratic Party, or a herald of our coming socialism-driven apocalypse.
We reported last month on how Ocasio-Cortez used her sudden fame after her June 26th surprise win as a platform to endorse and promote fellow insurgents across the country in their primary challenges against Democratic incumbents. And in the process, she's building a national following that stands to make her an influential House progressive the moment she is sworn in. Today, however, marks the first real test of the clout of her endorsement, as primary voters go to the polls in several states where she's campaigned heavily for her favored candidates.
In Kansas's 3rd District, where six Democrats are running to challenge GOP Rep. Kevin Yoder, Ocasio-Cortez threw her endorsement behind Brent Welder and campaigned for him, alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders. In Michigan, Ocasio-Cortez came out to support Abdul El-Sayed, one of several Democrats running in that state's gubernatorial primary. El-Sayed's candidacy was looking more like a longshot a month ago, but the last few weeks have brought a surge of attention to his campaign, helped along, no doubt, by Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders' efforts on his behalf.
But is the Ocasio-Cortez effect a help or a hindrance for the November elections? While some Democrats see the surge of energy on the Democratic party's left as a positive sign for turnout in the upcoming general election, Republicans are trying to exploit the gulf between more moderate and liberal Democrats on issues like abolishing ICE and Nancy Pelosi's speakership to defend their contested seats in Congress. Today will bring a test of that strategy in a special election in Ohio's 12th Congressional District.
IT'S TUESDAY, and the National Night Out for crime prevention will be observed in communities around the state. Got tips, suggestions or thoughts? Let us know ... By email: email@example.com, email@example.com, and email@example.com, or on Twitter: @JimmyVielkind, @nahmias, and @dlippman.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "I wouldn't say it was faster, but I would say it was fun. It was the first time I really took the bike out in the district. One of my neighbors across the street, every time I get on the bike she laughs at me and says 'It's great to see the Assemblyman on his bike.'" — Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, bicyclist
VIDEO OF THE DAY: Check out the trailer for Showtime's "Escape at Dannemora," which will air in the weeks after Election Day.
BLAME RUPERT, REDUX —The Guardian's Ben Jacobs interviews the mayor: "To New York mayor Bill de Blasio, Rupert Murdoch is directly responsible for Donald Trump. In fact, De Blasio argues, "if you could remove News Corp from the last 25 years of American history, we would be in an entirely different place". In his view, without the malign influence of Murdoch's media empire and its conservative Trump-supporting Fox News "we would be a more unified country. We would not be suffering a lot of the negativity and divisiveness we're going through right now. I can't ignore that." De Blasio spoke to the Guardian in New Orleans, hours before he took the stage at the annual Netroots Nation conference of progressive activists.
IS A SOCIAL DEMOCRAT A DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST? — To De Blasio, the debate over the term 'socialist' was in some ways pedantic. He described himself as a 'social democrat' and said that 'we should all be very comfortable saying that a social democratic vision that is active government addressing people's needs is the direction our party has to go.' De Blasio added the caveat that 'I think a lot of this discussion in America really is essentially a social democratic vision that's very synonymous with a progressive vision. I don't see a lot of difference there.' He insisted that there was 'no contradiction' between identifying as a progressive or as a socialist. 'Just like if you say I'm a Democrat, there's more than one way to obviously be a Democrat – maybe too many ways to be a Democrat – I think it's more than one way to be a socialist,' said De Blasio.He also celebrated that the national conversation now allows people to identify as a social democrat or a Democratic Socialist or a socialist. 'The fact that the word is now been liberated as part of the discussion is very, very healthy,' said the mayor." Read more here.
OP-ED: ENDING HOMELESSNESS— Christine Quinn for AM New York: "Providing men and women with both a home and a supportive environment is critical to help break the homelessness cycle. That's the measure of success — are we stopping the vicious cycle of instability?...NYC also should increase the use of housing vouchers. Over the past three years, Win has found that 98 percent of families placed in housing through programs like Living in Communities and rental assistance were still in their homes one year later. It's a strategy that works and we need to leverage it. We have to ask ourselves what kind of city we want to be. With safer, cleaner neighborhoods, higher property values, and higher incomes than the rest of the country, there is much to celebrate — but a rising economy is only of value if it lifts every New Yorker. Increasing supportive housing is an indicator that NYC is heading in the right direction." Read it here
— We're seeing more of Christine Quinn recently, aren't we? She's appearing this week on a panel run by the New York City Campaign Finance Board, alongside Betsy Gotbaum and Council members Eric Ulrich and Ritchie Torres, to talk about how to improve the city's campaign finance program.

ROBIN HOOD FOUNDATION DISTANCES ITSELF FROM LYFT— POLITICO's Dana Rubinstein: A prominent philanthropic organization and two competitors are distancing themselves from Lyft in the run-up to a vote this week to cap the growth of the for-hire vehicle industry. After Lyft highlighted the Robin Hood foundation in its heavily publicized but failed effort to kill the Council's cap proposal, the foundation reached out to Council leadership to say that Lyft had mischaracterized its role, a Council source said. In a subsequent email to the New York Taxi Workers Alliance, which Robin Hood has funded in the past, foundation officials said they weren't really part of the proposal for a $100 million yellow-taxi hardship fund and their role had, again, been misconstrued, according to Bhairavi Desai, executive director of the alliance. "It seemed pretty cynical, to take the name of the city's largest anti-poverty foundation to advance a deregulation agenda at the heart of poverty for a 100,000 [person] workforce," Desai said..

GET OUT THE VOTE IN JAIL — POLITICO's Gloria Pazmino: The city's Board of Elections will launch an effort to help Rikers Island detainees register to vote and cast absentee ballots if they're in custody, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday. De Blasio, speaking on his weekly appearance on NY1's Inside City Hall, said the city would work to ensure that detainees have access to voter registration forms while serving time as long as they're not convicted of a felony. State law prohibits a person serving time for a felony or on parole from voting. Felons who have served their time and are not on parole are free to vote. Aides to the mayor said the Board of Elections will work with the Legal Aid Society to get detainees on the voting rolls. "We have to absolutely change our approach to get people to participate, we've got to open up the democratic process and encourage people," de Blasio said. Read more here.
TOP-ED -- "We need a new marijuana enforcement policy in Queens,"by City Councilman Rory I. Lancman in the Times Ledger: "Marijuana enforcement in the five boroughs is completely unfair. While studies consistently show that white and black people smoke marijuana at nearly the same rate, enforcement has overwhelmingly fallen on communities of color. In 2017, 86 percent of those arrested for marijuana possession in New York City were either Black or Latino. Nor can disproportionate enforcement be explained by 311 or 911 complaints from the community, where the NYPD's own data show that many minority neighborhoods with few marijuana complaints had significant numbers of arrests and summonses."

CUOMO STILL MUM ON DEBATE PLANS — Buffalo News' Tom Precious: "Democratic gubernatorial primary opponents Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and activist Cynthia Nixon could face off in a one-on-one debate later this month. Or not. For fans of déjà vu experiences, the current debate over debates between Cuomo and Nixon is a re-run of the 2014 campaign when Cuomo refused numerous calls to debate his then-opponent – Zephyr Teachout – in the Democratic primary for governor. At one point four years ago, he went so far as to say some debates can be a 'disservice to democracy.' On Monday, NY1, a cable news channel, sought to prod along the stalled debate talks with word that it will be hosting a one-on-one gubernatorial get-together on Aug. 22 at Queens College. Cuomo's campaign in May teased that the governor would participate. But Cuomo prefers to steer away from one-on-one debates, which is bad news for his sole challenger – Nixon – in the party's primary on Sept. 13. In 2010, for instance, he insisted on seven candidates, known and unknown, that described in various media accounts as everything from 'a farce' to 'vaudevillian theater' … On Monday, the Cuomo campaign did not state its intentions for the NY1 debate. 'As we've said before, we look forward to a substantive, in-depth debate about the issues that matter most to New Yorkers. We are currently reviewing debate proposals as they come in,' said Cuomo campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith." Read more here
NY1 IGNORED CUOMO'S ATTACK ON PARENT COMPANY: The New York Times's Shane Goldmacher reports that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's criticism of Charter Spectrum, in response to a NY1 reporter's question "was nowhere to be found on the NY1's own 24/7 airwaves."
- "The governor had later called into the NY1 newsroom to explain himself - on the record, according to several people familiar with the call. That too, never made it on television," Goldmacher continues. "If anyone at NY1's Chelsea Market headquarters knew why, they were not willing to say."
— Assemblyman and congressional candidate Anthony Brindisi accused Charter Spectrum of refusing to air campaign ads in which he attacked the company.
AG RACE — Activist organization backs Zephyr Teachout for attorney general, by POLITICO's Sally Goldenberg: An activist organization in New York City that has been aligned with Public Advocate Tish James for much of her political career is endorsing her opponent in the Democratic primary for attorney general. The board of New York Communities for Change voted unanimously, with two member unions abstaining, to back insurgent candidate Zephyr Teachout for the open seat. It is a sign of both Teachout's unabashedly liberal platform — buoyed by her pledge to eschew corporate donors — and James' swift evolution from anti-establishment politician to ally of Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Read the story here
PRIMARY SPARKS RENEWED SCHOOL FUNDING DEBATE — POLITICO's Anna Gronewold: When actor Cynthia Nixon decided to challenge an entrenched incumbent governor who has been in and around government for decades, she chose to highlight an issue that has divided New York's education community for years. And, not surprisingly, it's all about funding. New York spends $22,366 per student per year, nearly double the national average, but Nixon says its not nearly enough. She says the state owes its schools $4.2 billion in aid promised in 2007, and she has devised a plan to make that up in three years, funded by a millionaires tax and corporate tax hikes.
— The argument about underfunding has been leveled before, but Nixon is making it a cornerstone of her underdog campaign as she continues to attack Gov. Andrew Cuomo with the strongest ammunition she has in her limited political arsenal. Meanwhile, the man she is challenging, Cuomo, is touting the spending increases he has proposed during his two terms — school funding has increased from $20.6 billion in the budget he inherited from Gov. David Paterson in 2011 to $26.6 billion this year. But for some critics, including Nixon, the state still is in arrears, at least according to a formula, called Foundation Aid, agreed to during Eliot Spitzer's short-lived administration. Advocates and political leaders are bitterly divided over the scope and relevance of the years-old formula. Read more here
NY-23: "Democratic challenger Tracy Mitrano has responded to allegations from Congressman Tom Reed's campaign that her supporters threatened and harassed campaign staff at a rally in Olean in July. Reached for comment on Monday morning, Mitrano 59, of Penn Yan, distanced herself from the comment's authors, stressing they are not associated with her campaign and are not registered volunteers. 'I ask all my supporters to treat those associated with our campaign, or with the opposition campaign, with civility and respect,' said Mitrano before adding it was 'discouraging Representative Reed has chosen to focus on the negativity and avoid the issues that matter to our citizens.'" [Ithaca Journal]
— Gothamist's Ben Yakas has obtained video of the white supremacist group who recently held an anti-immigration rally in Fort Tryon Park, "showing their all-white members singing the national anthem and chanting 'USA' while antagonizing and trying to block the videographer."

MORNING MEDIA, with POLITICO's Michael Calderone:
KUSHNER ORDERED NY OBSERVER ARTICLES CUT: BuzzFeed's Steven Perlberg reports: "Jared Kushner personally ordered a software developer at his newspaper to remove stories that were critical of his friends and real estate peers." Kushner, a real estate scion who bought the paper in 2006 -- when I was working there, actually -- transferred ownership to a family trust as he joined the Trump administration.
- "If I had known about it, Jared and I would have had a big problem," former Observer editor Elizabeth Spiers told Perlberg. "Jared's such a coward. Went directly to [software employee Austin Smith] because he knew I wouldn't do it." Smith was an outside consultant and not on the editorial staff, Perlberg notes.
- "I didn't know any better then, but I do now, which is why I brought it up in the [Hacker News] thread about unethical developer behavior," Smith tweeted. "This is to say, building ethics into systems is a core responsibility of news technologists. It's thanks to a broad and diverse community of news nerds that I've come to understand that, but as an industry, we can still do better."
CNN HOST DON LEMON RIPPED President Trump on Monday night in response to Trump calling him the "the dumbest man on television" in a Friday tweet that also mocked Lemon's guest -- NBA star, philanthropist, and Trump critic LeBron James -- as not smart. "Referring to African-Americans as dumb is one of the oldest canards of America's racist past and present - that black people are of inferior intelligence," Lemon said.
- But Lemon also put Friday's remarks in the broader context of the president's attacks on women and people of color, from Trump leading the racist birther crusade against former President Barack Obama to repeatedly questioning the intelligence of Rep. Maxine Waters, who is also black. "This president traffics in racism and is fueled by bullying," Lemon said.
-- Ali Winston, who won a Polk award for his reporting at the East Bay Express, is joining the New York Times' Metro staff as an investigative reporter.

REAL ESTATE, with POLITICO New York's Sally Goldenberg:
— "Moskovits Saves 564 St. John's Place From Foreclosure With $97M Arbor Refi," by Commercial Observer's Cathy Cunningham: "Toby Moskovits and Michael Lichtenstein have saved their 564 St. John's Place multifamily property from foreclosure with a roughly $97 million loan from Arbor Realty Trust, sources close to the situation told Commercial Observer. The debt pays off previous lender Benefit Street Partners, which had scheduled a UCC foreclosure auction of the property's mezzanine debt for August 22. Sources said that Arbor is providing a senior loan only—no mezzanine loan—to refinance the $81 million senior construction loan and $8 million mezzanine loan that Benefit Street provided on the Crown Heights, Brooklyn property in October 2017, plus additional interest and fees. The loan closed Friday. Potential bidders told CO that they were alerted of the foreclosure auction's cancellation this morning by JLL, which was overseeing the process." Read the story here
— De Blasio signs bill targeting Airbnb ahead of City Council vote to rein in Uber, by POLITICO's Sally Goldenberg: Mayor Bill de Blasio dealt a blow to home-sharing giant Airbnb on Monday, signing a bill that requires substantial and routine reporting from the $31 billion enterprise. The law, which will take effect in six months, presents one the biggest challenges yet for the short-term rental company — monthly reports to an office that has been penalizing it with increased fervor in one of its most lucrative markets. The bill was drafted and passed in consultation with the politically powerful Hotel Trades Council, which spent more than $100,000 helping elect City Council members last year and was instrumental in Corey Johnson's ascension to speaker of the body. … The bill was signed two days before the Council is expected to target another modern technology industry. The measures would cap the growth of Uber, Lyft and other for-hire vehicles in New York City. Under the bill signed on Monday, Airbnb and similar home-sharing enterprises will have to turn over information on their bookings each month to the Mayor's Office of Special Enforcement, which fines illegal hotels.

I'm a little torn on why I do all this writing. Some days I wish that hundreds of people would find my blog and read it and soak in its glory and wonder. And then other days I'm just glad that my family and friends read it. But most days I'm happy that I have found a couple of other people outside my small circle that read and quite possibly enjoy what they read. I don't know what my "style" of blog is beyond just random nonsense. But I would love to actually pin-point a style. And then stick with it. That's the big thing. I guess I am sticking to the "randomness" of it all too. So that's good right?
I wish that I had a better memory of conversations and write them out like some blogs I read. I wish that I had a better grasp of imagery to convey a better picture like other blogs that I read. And then I read some and say "Do I sound like that?" because I don't like those blogs and I don't want to sound anything like them. Like a person desperate to get in with the "cool" kids. So desperate that they have to sound like the people they idolize. I wish that I could write like the bloggers that I idolize. And that list keeps getting bigger by the way. I have found my way to some new ones that I love and makes me wish that I majored in English instead of Public Relations…I doubt I would have passed those classes though. Considering my D in English 101. Man that woman hated commas. And I figured that out WAY too late in the semester to get my grade back.
I read a blog out loud to Jesse at dinner. It was funny, it's my new favorite blog. The author was interviewing her 8-year-old daughter. Jesse's response is "hey do you want me to remember the conversations I have with the guys at the shop? You can write those down and blog it, they get pretty sick though" Yeah that's what direction I want to take. Hey everyone! It's a construction worker's day!! Lots of talk about balls and big tittied women! I want to write the conversations that I have with Leslie because she's hilarious. But apparently only to the two of us.
I want to write about a lot of things. The disdain I have inside boiling right under the surface. The "snark" just begging to come out. But about what? About co-workers? Meh. Most of the people I work with are alright, and the others aren't worth it. The customers that I have to deal with? Again not really worth it. Other bloggers? My audience would have no idea what I was talking about. The twitter wars that I watch like a wallflower? Again, there would be no connection. So do I reach out to get a bigger audience to talk about these things? Or do I just keep the status quo?
At this point in time there's really nothing more that I can blog about. I don't have a lot of drama going on. I can't snark on people because I don't like to hurt feelings. I can't honestly blog about a big thing that is going on because of certain people and again I don't want to hurt feelings…
But I do have something in the works. And I hope that it will come out like I want it to. And I do want an audience to read it. And if it's just my small audience I will be okay with it. Because maybe those people who read it will pass it along to people who need to hear this story. I know I'm being totally vague at the moment but like I said it's in the works. It might take a bit to get going too, so I don't want to give too much away until I get it going.

As India becomes richer, its people are constantly looking for ways to spend their money. Indian weddings for example have grown more and more ostentatious over the years. Recently an Indian minister has took upon himself the task of regulating the often garish display of wealth. He has signed in on this crusade apparently to reduce food wastage so that more of it can be redirected to India's starving millions.
What seems like a good idea on the surface doesn't stand scrutiny on closer inspection. The Indian state has apparently forgotten the "govern" in government. Instead it spends its energies on ponderous topics such as producing soap operas and sub-compact cars. So why is the marriage regulation a bad idea? To understand this better, one needs to know about the law of unintended consequences. Laws are often made under the assumption that the environment on which they are applied are sterile and unchanging. They fail to account for the various feedback loops found in everyday life.
Not long ago, the government decided to help out renters who were being squeezed by rising apartment costs. It passed a rent control law that prohibited home owners from arbitrarily increasing leasing charges. But it in its infinite wisdom, it forgot to account for inflation. Very soon you had cases where $1 million apartments were being rented out for $100. The owners had no recourse to evicting the tenants. Realizing that they could never make a profit, they stopped maintaining their properties. Slowly the apartments fell into disuse and became unsafe for the tenants. In the end, a law that was meant to help the renters turned out to be their biggest headache.
In my opinion, first of all the government has no business regulating the resources spent on a wedding. There are bigger fishes to fry such as an illiterate and hungry citizenry bigger than the U.S. Even if it decides to go ahead with this idea, it should keep the law of unintended consequences in mind.

Jake Cassidy - State Co-Chair
Jake grew up in Maple Grove and lived there until 1999 when his dad's job moved the family to Northern California. In California, he attended college and completed a degree program at Cal State University, Fullerton.
He and his wife at work and they were eventually married whereupon he became a stepfather to an awesome - now teenage - daughter.
Not long after getting married, the new family relocated back to Apple Valley, Minnesota where Jake is involved in exploring the area with the family, engaging in local politics and activism, helping with his daughters school and Girl Scouts. He and his wife are always on the lookout for awesome new Mexican and Asian restaurants to try.
Always politically-oriented, Jake's political philosophy has run the gamut. He grew up in a conservative home but realigned with the Democratic Party in the mid-2000's after meeting coworkers who expanded his base of experience and understanding. After the elections of 2016 and now believing the Democratic Party and the two-party system to be hopelessly corrupt a new realignment occurred, again reorienting his beliefs. Now focused on a politics of independence; solution- and people-focus; locally-based, anti-capitalist, and cooperative economics; small-d democratic praxis. He believes we need a new type of politics and a radically different type of political party to fight for the people, not the protection of profits for a few.

This is one model that actually tops when it comes to circular saws. It is a popular model, invented by one of the global leading manufacturer and supplier of power tools; Rockwell. This is a company that has consistently gained a great reputation for the production and supply of high quality and efficient power tools.
Rockwell RK3440K Versacut 4.0 Amp Ultra-Compact Circular Saw provides you with the necessary power as well as features needed in achieving professional cuts. It boasts of a 4 Amp motor that packs enough power to cut through the toughest materials. This is one circular saw that features unsurpassed accuracy, thanks to its laser cutting technology. With it, you are always guaranteed of constant precision in all your cutting tasks. It is by far one of the lightest Circular Saw models that feature exceptional handling. Its lightweight design is supplemented with a compact size to provide for consistent cutting operations.
Compared to other circular saws, the Rockwell RK3440K is uniquely designed to slice through more than 1-inch materials. This renders it an ideal choice for a wide range of cutting tasks. A lock-off switch incorporated in the unit prevents any accidental starts. For enhanced visibility, the Rockwell RK3440K comes with a dust extraction adapter. This eliminates dust and provides a clear line of sight. To compensate for any malfunctions, the company provides a 2 years warranty on this circular saw.
Rockwell RK3440K VersaCut Review
Lightweight design
The Rockwell RK3440K weighs a remarkable 4 pounds, making it one of the lightest models available. Such a light construction enables the saw to be operated by a single hand. Together with the minimal vibrations generated during the cutting process, this light weight lessens wrist pains resulted from continued cutting operations.
Slim construction
Apart from its light construction, the Rockwell RK3440K offers its users with a slim design. It features a dimension of 17.5 by 8.9 by 5.4 inches. With its small length, you are able to comfortably maneuver it on any given workspace. It can easily be operated on those areas that are difficult to achieve when using large saw models. These include corners and other narrow working spaces. This is one saw that can enable you to even carry out overhead operations.
Remarkable cutting depth
As mentioned earlier, the RK3440K incorporates the ability to cut through more than 1-inch materials. Thanks to its depth adjustment lever, the unit enables the user to position the indicator to the desired depth. This enables you to cut any given material to the exact depth. With its 3-3/8-inch carbide blade, you can achieve a maximum cutting depth of 1-1/16 inches.
Laser cutting technology
This is a feature that makes the Rockwell RK3440K stand out from the long line of circular saws. This technology functions with the use of indicators. There is a laser indicator that enables you to accurately align the cuts. A plunge indicator comes in handy to show the precise position of blade entry. As if that is not enough, it features a simple depth of cut indicator. All these are designed to provide exceptional accuracy during the cutting process.
Durable construction
To enable it to adapt well to tough cutting applications, the VersaCut Circular Saw comes in a durable construction. It incorporates the outer and inner metal guard that functions to prolong its useful life. Its carbide tipped blade also features extreme durability that enables it to cut through wood, plastic, ceramic and metallic materials with minimal wear.
Pros at a Glance
Just to appreciate the Rockwell RK3440K more, here are some highlights of the main features and specifications that make this tool something worth spending your money on:
- It is multi-functional effective in cutting wood, metal, tile, flooring, sheet metal, aluminum, plastic as well as other materials.
- It features a slim but compact design and ergonomic balance, which allows for easier and better control with a single hand able to do the job.
- The Rockwell RK3440K is equipped with 4-amp motor assisted with Laserguide technology, dust extraction adaptor and other precision feature that deliver fantastic results.
- It features lock-off switch to prevent accidental starting and thereby preventing occupational accidents from taking place.
- The Rockwell RK3440K comes with two years limited warranty on spare parts and labor as well as lifetime technical support.
- The Rockwell RK3440K has Maximum cutting-depth of 1 and 1/16 inches, 3 and 3/8 inches blade size as weighs just 4
- It comes with different blades for different cutting needs including a single 24T carbide-tip blade for wood cutting, a single 44T HSS blade for aluminum cutting aluminum and plastic and a single diamond blade for cement board and ceramic tile cutting.
Cons at a Glance
Those who gave the mini-circular saw negative reviews complained about the footplate, which is spring- loaded with a relatively heavy spring. This makes it a little bit heavier than it should be. Nevertheless, the Rockwell RK3440K is among the slimmest and lightest of all currently in the market; a property which cancels out any increased weight of the footplate.
Have you been looking of the best multi-purpose circular saw that you can use for extended periods with ease and no fatigue? Well, you now have the information. The Rockwell RK3440K fits this description. It delivers unmatchable performance, great ergonomics, and high level of accuracy as well as stylish and compact design. With two years of limited warranty, you will use your tool without having to wary about spending on repair.

Due to growing bandwidth requirements, the city of Montmagny needed to upgrade from 1 Gb/s to 10 Gb/s. With no available conduits, and due to the complexity involved in rewiring, the city wasn't in a position to change its current OM1 multimode cables to singlemode cables. In this case, AROONA-STAR was the most appropriate solution.
To avoid complex and costly fiber-optic cable rewiring works, the city of Montmagny opted for the passive AROONA-STAR solution from Cailabs, which made it possible to re-use the existing multimode infrastructure to provide broadband links, without doing renovation work.
Located in the Montmorency valley, around 10 km from the northern edge of Paris, the city of Montmagny is pursuing a digital transition involving the modernization of its network infrastructures.
The city is using a computer network consisting of numerous workstations, spread out between the city hall, various administrative departments, the academy of music, the multimedia library, municipal police, etc. These sites were linked by a multimode OM1 fiber-optic cable infrastructure.
The city wanted to increase the bandwidth of its network in order to anticipate developments related to the installation of new bandwidth-intensive applications (video surveillance, requirements for various departments), while maintaining the homogeneity of its network system. The goal was to have a smooth transition, in order to minimize the impact on the various municipal services.
Lastly, the cost of increasing the bandwidth was a significant issue for the municipality.
Equipped with singlemode cables (dark fiber on a lease basis from a telecom operator), the city wanted to convert the multimode cables that it owns in order to ensure the continuity of service with the existing singlemode cables and avoid bottlenecks. The objective was to link the city hall office annexes, the cultural center (including the multimedia library, academy of music and dance, exhibition hall), the municipal police premises, and an intermediary site where the municipal technical services are located.
According to the city of Montmagny, there was no technically and financially viable solution to update from 1 Gb/s to 10 Gb/s with around 300m of OM1 fiber-optic cable.
Cailabs' partner FONEX presented AROONA-STAR to the city, it was the ideal solution in light of the situation. The installation was carried out by FONEX and Cailabs.
Link MMF upgradred
Thanks to the passive AROONA solution, it was possible to upgrade the restrictive fiber optic connections in the space of half a day. The cost of the investment was 50% less than the cost of rewiring, which would certainly have been a complex undertaking. Installed in just a few hours, the AROONA-STAR solution made it possible to upgrade 3 pairs of OM1 multimode cables to 10 Gb/s. Interruption of service was handled in such a way as to minimize the disruption of activities.
FONEX data systems is an innovative telecom equipment supplier focused on network infrastructure design solutions. They offer the best performance/price ratio, optimally adapted to their customers' needs. Thanks to a strategic partnership between Cailabs and FONEX data systems, FONEX was able to upgrade the customer's Local Area Network from 1 Gb/s to 10 Gb/s in less than 4 hours. Due to regulations, the customer had to upgrade their network and were able to utilize the extra bandwidth immediately after the installation of AROONA-STAR.

Holiday Rentals – a Tuscan Escape
Thereâs something very special about Tuscany. Not only does the region abound with incredible history, delicious local produce and no less than six UNESCO World Heritage Sites, but it also exudes a very special charm. A sort of intangible elixir – a sense of well-being. One deep breath of Tuscan air and it feels like youâve arrived home. Holiday rentals here are the real deal.
That feeling pervades in the historical cities themselves â Florence, Siena and Pisa. Itâs difficult not to get caught up in the architecture of the region â from the austerity of the Duomo di Siena with its chastising papal gargoyles, to the Gothic lines of Florenceâs central edifices. Itâs living history â find holiday rentals in the depths of the cities and you will get a true taste.
For the real magic to work though, you need to leave the bustling centres for the tranquillity of the Tuscan countryside. Itâs here that youâll find the pearls of the region such as San Gimignano and the Val Dâorcia. Itâs here that youâll stumble across holiday rentals in secluded olive groves and abandoned monasteries. Itâs here that youâll forget about the real world.
And itâs not that difficult to discover this little bit of Eden for yourself. There are many holiday rentals available to hire in the region â whether you want a hilltop olive farm with stunning views across Tuscan countryside or a romantic stone cottage backing onto fields of sunflowers â you can find your perfect holiday rentals hideaway. Once youâve found it though, you just might not want to come backâ¦

San Gimignano is a small medieval town, built on top of a hill like so many other Tuscan towns in Italy. It is mainly famous for its medieval architecture, especially its towers which may be seen from several kilometres outside the town. The "town of the tall towers" is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Tuscany. In the 13th century, the town had unbelievable 76 (!) towers, from which 13 are still preserved until today. The towers were used as part of the fortification of the town, but they were also built as status symbol from wealthy inhabitants before the 13th century.

Vacation Europe's Grape Escape to Italy's Festivale Stampa Di Toscana
xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Vacation Europe's Grape Escape to Italy's Festivale Stampa Di Toscana
Pompano Beach, FL (PRWEB) March 8, 2006
BOCA RATON, FL — (PRWEB) March 8, 2006 — Parties, shopping and sightseeing revolve around a harvest festival — Festivale Stampa di Toscana — organized solely for the visitors, based in the ancient spa town of Montecatini in northwest Tuscany, between Lucca and Florence.
Decked out in traditional grape-treading regalia, visitors will stomp grapes under the tutelage of locals: photo ops galore and the kind of fun that most people would think could happen only in the movies. At a party in the private castle of a celebrated vineyard the night before the Stampa, amid music and dancing to a live band, participants learn the history of stamping and the age-old techniques that begin the wine-making for each year. Each visitor receives a gift of three personally labeled bottles of Chianti.
Parties — at the hotel in Montecatini, at traditional Tuscan restaurants, at three vineyards including the ancestral home of Nicholo Machiavelli — provide unlimited food and wine. At one luncheon party, a leading Tuscan chef shows how to prepare the traditional dishes being served. Winners of prizes for the Best Grape Stamper, Best Stampa Stomper, Most Original Style of Stamping and other wacky contests are presented in the estate house of a second leading vineyard at an evening dinner party.
Sightseeing includes excursions to Pisa to see the Leaning Tower and to Lucca for its medieval mansions and palaces, orientation in Montecatini, and in the Chianti region to Siena and San Gimignano. One afternoon is given to shopping the factory outlets around Florence — the likes of Fendi, Prada, Gucci and Armani are represented — and a free day in Florence provides independent shopping and sightseeing.
Departures are scheduled September 18 and 25 and October 2 and 9 on British Airways, via London to Bologna or Pisa, from New York's JFK airport & Newark with an optional 2 night extension to Rome; add-on fares are available from British Airways' 18 other gateways. Cost per person, double occupancy, is $ 2989 at the four-star Grand Hotel Croce di Malta. The prices cover round-trip air transportation, accommodation, airport-hotel transfers, breakfast daily and 5 dinners including wine in the hotel and local restaurants and festival functions at three wineries, sightseeing and the services of local Vacation Europe staff and guides.
Reservations and additional information can be obtained from Country Cottages, Inc., d/b/a Vacation Europe, 2300 Corporate Blvd., N.W. #214, Boca Raton, FL 33431; telephone (800) 674-8883 or (561) 988-4000; fax (561) 988-0016; Website: http://www.vacationeurope.com.

(PRWEB) July 23, 2015
WPGurus have already gained a strong following for their successful Frontend Publishing Pro plug-in for WordPress. Now according to their founder they are coming out with an even more advanced, feature-loaded version of Frontend Publishing Pro. This plug-in allows webmasters to create highly customized forms for their websites so that submissions can be accepted from members in a safe and convenient way.
The common business owner knows they need a website, and that a good website will do a lot more good than an amateurish one. In fact, sometimes this can be the difference between wild success and folding shop! But who has time to learn CSS, HTML, PHP, and other programming languages necessary for creating user-friendly forms? No one who has a business to run can afford to invest time in learning and relearning the subtleties of web development. This is where Frontend Publishing Pro by WPGurus comes to the rescue, and the new version looks very promising.
The new and improved features include:
- A wide variety of customizable form fields
- Payment integration – take payments from PayPal and other popular payment processors directly from your website!
- Nearly full integration with many popular WordPress plugins on the market
- Cleaner, less error-prone and more stable code than ever before
The plugin not only works with the default post types shipped with WordPress but also with custom types and taxonomies. Therefore it can fit a wide range of requirements. For instance website owners who want their users to create WooCommerce products can create forms for that. In fact wherever user-generated content is needed, Frontend Publishing can come in handy.

This is a conversation I think is worth delving into. Neither the radio host mentioned nor the person writing the article below are expressing themselves well enough, and frankly both seem to be finger-pointing at the other person's belief structure.
In an adult world, we all know the following to be true: not all people who believe in religious doctrine are racists, and not all people who don't believe in a religious doctrine are racists. Thusly, the conversation should be one in which we do question how an INDIVIDUAL can espouse to be someone who believes in a monotheistic god who created us all in his/her image and yet they can be a racist. The hypocrisy should be questioned and should be discussed – and being willing to do so will enable greater understanding between religious believers and atheists. Instead of getting all righteous and pissy, maybe it would be best to be patient with each other and try to figure out exactly where the other person is coming from – not everyone uses the right phrases or the right words all the time, not every one understands what may be offensive because they haven't really considered the argument from another viewpoint other than what they have experience with. Every conversation doesn't have to be adversarial, and it would behoove our society to strive harder to understand others way of thinking.
This morning, on Dan Caplis' KNUS radio show in Colorado, the host was discussing the (alleged) racist comments made by L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling.
And in the process, he argued that all racists had to be atheists.
You have to hear this to believe it.
"The roots of this kind of racism, this kind of attitude where somebody really thinks they're superior to somebody, just because of the color of the other person's skin? First, what it tells me, you know, my constitutionally-protected opinion about that person, is: they don't believe in God. Nobody who believes in God can be a racist, in my view, because once you believe God made us, you mean, God made junk? God made somebody lesser just by virtue of the color of their skin? So my starting point is always: All racists must be atheists. They can't possibly believe in God."

Table for One
Table for One
Table for One
I don't know about you, but it seems my ears are so in tune to picking up on the relationship status of others, that in fact, I would say that it is the majority which refers to the pronoun, "we" when sharing their upcoming plans, ideas, or in simple everyday comments. Is everyone married or in a committed relationship, or am I just super sensitive and preoccupied with this notion, perhaps all stemming from some insecurity which lies deep beneath my psyche, or maybe I'm just surrounding myself more with these types of individuals? On careful contemplation on the later, I can see by having kids of my own and not wanting to engage in the wild, single, post-divorce party bar scene, naturally, I guess I do associate more with the family, health oriented types. After years of establishing and finding comfort in my daily routine and relishing in my new found strength since my own divorce, why would my comparison of others' bliss affect me so?
If I've learned anything through it all, it is to BE CAREFUL on the next time around, use your intuition, know what you really want, and wait for it! Okay, easier said than done, but with this comes that reminder which steered my whole process through the painful decision of divorce to begin with,go ahead with divorce prepared that you may be alone for the rest of your life. The thought of making the same mistake again sits front and center. Call it lack of trust or a closed heart, but years ago it did help me understand my intentions to prepare myself for this realization. There was no way that I was divorcing simply to move one man to the side making room for Mr. Wonderful to step in. This seemed wrong at the time, and still does today.
Because of my observant nature, I have witnessed many over the years quickly jump right back into committed relationships and second/third marriages after parting from prior spouses. And as you may guess, I am continuing to watch them, almost waiting for the floor to open up on their well-intended plans just so I can say, (to myself of course), and "See, of course that would never work out!" Social media seems to feed my curiosity, and I often wonder what more productive things I could be doing other than keeping up with their family vacations, romantic dinners out and about, or gagging over their happy faces and comments… Is it possible, they really are happy?
Life has a way of humbling the most confident of souls, and I guess what it all boils down to is am I contributing something to this world? We are able to contribute through our careers, through our families and the ones around us, and for some through committed marriages. As long as it is through something, I believe we are moving in a positive direction. Can we have it all? Quite possibly, yes, we can contribute in all directions, but due to circumstances out of our own control, it is not demanded of us. Simply put, find contentment where you are today and embrace the excitement of curiosity because not one of us knows what tomorrow will bring. Now, that is interesting!! "Waiter, table for one please!"

If you follow social media at all, you'd have surely seen photos of the recent Super Moon… or Supermoon, if you prefer. Or even Super Full Moon. It's all the same to us.
Super Moon: Super Photos
There are Facebook pages dedicated to the Super Moon phenomenon, and there you'll see fabulous photography from very dedicated shutterbugs. Here's just a few random samples…
To be honest, we're not really avid astronomers, or even particularly adept with a camera beyond the happy-snap level. We did manage to snare a few photos of the moon at 7:30am on Monday 14 July, which was actually way past the prime viewing time for the main event.
Astute and talented photographers were out during the night of July 12 to capture the Super Moon in all its glory. We've linked here to an extraordinarily impressive photo taken by Richard Jupe for The Mercury, one of Tasmania's newspapers, as shared via their Facebook page.
Get Ready for Next Super Moon
You might be wondering why we're telling you all this now… when it's too late? Well it's not too late actually. Consider this article to be advance notice for the next Super Moon. Have your cameras at the ready on August 11. The full moon is due at 4:10am, believe it or not. It may be an early start for enthusiasts! You can find times and dates for all moon phases for Hobart online.
The Time and Date website also has a detailed article in the astronomy section about the Super Moon, so if you're keen on some extra reading we've included a link for you.
For Think Tasmania's international readers, we could say you need to visit us to capture the best photos of the Super Moon. That would be a reasonable assertion for the Aurora Australis, but not so for the Super Moon. This is a world-wide opportunity… because it's the moon! CBS San Francisco published an informative article about the Super Moon if you're from that neck of the woods.
Shutterbug Walkabouts Tasmania
We will grudgingly admit that you don't have to visit Tasmania just to photograph the Super Moon. But we think you should come anyway! Maybe you can chase the Aurora lights as well, if that helps justify the trip?
Besides, you won't find Roy and Coreena Vieth anywhere else! Shutterbug Walkabouts Tasmania host regular "suggested" tours, but also cater for customised experiences. The information from their website would suggest Roy and Coreena could provide the perfect instruction for capturing the Super Moon…
Shutterbug Walkabouts offers private and personalised special interest (photography) touring experiences visiting iconic and picturesque locations in Tasmania, with a photographer guide.
Create your own customised tour that ensures your individual interests are catered for. During each tour we make the most of the time, light and conditions available and provide guidance for better travel photography.
An outdoor photography workshop is ideal for focussing on your photography skill and technique taking your photography to another level. You will learn from the experience and knowledge of an award-winning photographer to discover newfound knowledge to inspire your inner shutterbug.
All tours and workshops are suited to general interest, novice and experienced photographers alike, our tours are private and personal and can be adapted to suit.
If you're local to Tasmania, you could easily treat yourself or someone you love to a gift of photography tuition with Roy and Coreena. As they'd say themselves… imagine the photos you could take!
Roy and Coreena Vieth have registered their business as a member of Think Tasmania. For more information, follow Shutterbug Walkabouts Tasmania on Facebook or contact Coreena and Roy Vieth by phone (03) 6267 2952. You can also visit the Shutterbug Walkabouts Tasmania website.

Cheap dating online service
Bulgaria is much safer than Russia with much less violent crime on the streets.
Russia on the other hand is very expensive and not very safe.
Just keep in mind that their motivation for this may not be as pure as you think and you may find yourself wifeless once she has got citizenship/money through marrying you.
If you register at a Russian dating service (also known as internet dating /marriage agency) and find out that lots of much younger women are contacting you eagerly for dating - you will know for sure you have landed at a scam dating website.
Dear Gentlemen, On East European dating sites, you will find thousands of women that are beautiful, intelligent, educated, fit, stylish and sexy – and, amazingly enough, at the same time unattached and available for dating.
All our services are totally free for ladies ("girls date for free"), while men can optionally upgrade to premium membership, but only if they wish to meet the ladies in person or exchange contact details.Most of the ladies on this dating website are originally from Bulgaria and the rest are from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, Tajikistan, Poland, Czech Republic, etc.One point worth marking is that at Sesile you will find many women of East European origin living in the West - mostly London, UK, USA, Spain, Italy, Germany, Holland.The terms "Russian mail order brides" and "Russian mail order wives", widely used by Americans, can be quite misleading as it almost creates the impression that the ladies would agree to marry just about anybody, which is miles far from the truth.Both Bulgarian ladies and Russian brides are amazingly beautiful women but you will find that a greater percentage of Russian girls will have professional or better quality photos.
Search for cheap dating online service:
Bulgarian women are less likely to have professional photos; they are more likely to take a few quick snapshots with their web cam.

C2C wins another award! This time sharing the US Food Sovereignty Alliance award with Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC) of Palestine, based in Gaza and the West Bank.
"In Washington State, amid failed immigration policies that criminalize working families, Community to Community Development has supported and worked with immigrant farm workers to develop farm worker-owned cooperatives, organize a successful nutrition education project called Cocinas Sanas, and promote domestic fair trade in regional assemblies and meetings. Most recently, C2C has supported an emerging farm worker union, Familias Unidas por la Justicia, and organized a national boycott of Sakuma Farms, their employer, who withheld pay, provided poor housing, and has since retaliated against the workers. Familias Unidas por la Justicia recently won a settlement for wage theft and had a Superior Court Judge rule uphold their right to organize – but their fight is not over.
"In honoring Community to Community, the USFSA honors indigenous farmworkers in the U.S. Displaced by NAFTA, these peasant farmers from Mexico are practicing a tradition of struggle for justice. Together, C2C and Familias Unidas are promoting food sovereignty in rural Washington State and challenging the corporate agricultural interests that are controlling our food system," said Rosalinda Guillen, Executive Director of Community to Community Development."
Well done and congratulations to the C2C staff!

Diggi highly qualified, seems under pressure: Uma
"I know him since the age of eight years. He belongs to a very good family and is highly qualified. Personally I feel he is under some pressure. A person like him cannot give such a statement," she told reporters here.
When the Congress itself had distanced itself from Digvijay`s remarks, there was no point in reacting, Bharti, who was re-inducted into the BJP recently, said.
"His statement is not worth commenting. But, at the personal level and as his younger sister I have doubts that he is under some pressure. Otherwise, a wise person does not speak like this," the firebrand Hindutva leader said.
She said "the RSS is a great social organisation and its contribution can never be forgotten."
"It is up to the Congress to deliberate what pressure he (Digvijay) is facing whether it is international or mental or some psychological disorder," Bharti said.
She said even after this if Congress president Sonia Gandhi did not remove him from the post of General Secretary, then this showed her weakness.
"Equating RSS with terror will not cause any harm to the organisation, but such statements will bolster the morale of terrorist organisations," the BJP leader said.
"Even a common man will not give such a statement," she said.
On BJP`s position in Uttar Pradesh, she said the party had a huge cadre in the state.

Merry Christmas. All the best to you for the season:)
Merry Christmas!
It's six o'clock (pm) here where I live. It has been snowing for at least three days and today is Christmas Day. Life is good.
I am very sorry, once again, for not posting more regularly. "Important" stuff just has a habit of getting in the way of doing fun things. But one day, hopefully soon, I will learn how to manage my time better.
I hope you have all had wonderful holidays, and that more good days are to come. Whether you celebrate Christmas or something else, or nothing at all, enjoy the days off, do the things you love and spend time with those who make you happy.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Ableton's Push pad-based control surface is going to totally change the way you relate to Ableton Live, and if you're completely new to this amazing DAW-style music creation environment, then you're really in for a treat. In fact, the Push comes with a copy of Ableton Live 9 Intro, so it's the perfect place to start. With a matrix of 64 fantastic-feeling touch/velocity-sensitive pads, eight multi-purpose encoders, and all of the dedicated controls you could ask for, Ableton's Push gives you the kind of all-access command over Live nothing else can offer. Play virtual instruments, track beats, step sequence, and navigate with ease (all at once) from your Ableton Push pad control surface!
Ableton Push Control Surface and Performance Controller
- Play and record with a matrix of 64 phenomenal touch-sensitive performance pads
- Sequence and perform in a graphic environment you can manipulate with your fingertips
- Take command of your Live Sets with a massive array of intuitive hands-on controls
Play and record with a matrix of 64 phenomenal touch-sensitive performance pads
When Ableton decided to create a their own custom control surface for Live, nothing but the best-feeling pads would do. That's why they turned to Akai Professional, whose pad-based hardware has remained one the foundation stones of the electronic music world for well over two decades. These touch-sensitive pads do a whole lot more than register velocity, allowing you to control the expression of tonal instruments by varying the pressure under your fingertips, and you get 64 of them on the Push. And it gets even better.
This array of 64 pads breaks down neatly into four quadrants of 16 pads each. In addition to using the entire 64-pad matrix to trigger scenes and launch clips, you can use each quadrant independently as well. For example, you can assign one quadrant to act like the 16 pads of a traditional drum controller, another to provide loop navigation, and then combine two sections to form a 16-beat, step-sequencing grid. Or you can set the entire matrix to act like the notes of a traditional keyboard and color only the notes that are in a particular key. And those are just a couple of the many ways you can take control of Live with the Ableton Push controller.
Sequence and perform in a graphic environment you can manipulate with your fingertips
It's easy to imagine just how effective the Ableton Push control surface can be when it comes to creating and performing music with Ableton Live. Following the same basic setup Ableton established when they partnered with Akai and Novation to create the APC series and Launch Pad controllers, the Push controller mirrors Live's Session View, allowing you to launch loops, samples, and even entire scenes. Each of the Push's 64 backlit pads features a multicolor LED, providing you with instant visual feedback, so you virtually never have to look up at your screen. That's extremely useful, particularly when you're performing live.
Take command of your Live Sets with a massive array of intuitive hands-on controls
So far, we've really just scratched the surface of what you can do with your Ableton Push and Live. One of the apparently less cool but essential things about the Push are all of its peripheral controls. First off, there's this awesome 4-line LCD display that displays the parameters you're working on, allowing you to tweak settings and mix channels with ease. A touch slider along side the Push's pads lets you bend notes, control modulation, or take over any other parameter you like. On top of that, there are dedicated buttons for loop settings, effects, general navigation, and just about any basic command you'd typically find yourself reaching for your keyboard and mouse to execute. Essentially, if Ableton Live came out in hardware form, it would look just like the Ableton Push controller.
Ableton Push Control Surface and Performance Controller for Live Features:
- The ultimate controller for Ableton Live and a perfect companion to Live v9
- A highly sophisticated matrix of 64 velocity/pressure-sensitive pads gives you total freedom to play instruments, sequence songs, and perform on the fly with Ableton Live
- Advanced grid options let you segment the pad matrix into various sections for control over multiple Live functions at once
- Play virtual instruments in an intuitive keyboard-style layout
- Select the scale you want to play in, and the appropriate pads light up to show you the notes
- 4.7" touch strip lets you bend notes, control modulation, and take over virtually any of Live's MIDI-controllable parameters
- 4-line alphanumeric LCD display provides invaluable feedback in every mode
- 11 endless, touch-sensitive encoders let you mix and tweak settings
- Runs on USB bus power for maximum portability but comes with a power supply for added illumination for use in environments with greater ambient light
- 2 x footswitch inputs give you even more control options
- Includes Ableton Live 9 Intro DAW/music creation software plus an amazing content library to get you started
You haven't really experienced the power of Live until you get your hands on an Ableton Push controller!
