Funding opportunities for growth businesses in the south have never been better, says the corporate team at Shoosmiths LLP.
"Brexit and the drop in sterling are making companies push ahead with their M&A plans and we have seen a surge of deal activity in the Thames Valley market so far in 2018," said Nina Smith, senior corporate associate at Shoosmiths' Reading office.
Shoosmiths' corporate team – which was ranked number one in the South-East legal adviser rankings in Experian MarketIQ's M&A Review 2107 – is active across the region, with more than 60 legal advisers (out of 106 nationally) working from its regional offices in Reading, Southampton, Milton Keynes and London.
Right now, the team's message is clear. Funding and advice is available to help get the best businesses in the region to the next level – and Shoosmiths is right at the heart of the connections and expertise to help make these deals happen.
The firm has just advised on the sale of Thame, Oxfordshire-based Chevron Traffic Management to European private equity firm Triton. The company is the largest traffic management company in England and Wales and was previously owned by long-term investor Portchester Equity.
David Harbord, of Portchester Equity, said: "We always have confidence that Shoosmiths can deliver on transactions because of their strength, depth and knowledgeable lawyers, particularly in M&A. They provided exemplary advice for Portchester Equity, and the shareholders, on the sale of Chevron Traffic Management."
Shoosmiths also acted in the £10 million investment by Business Growth Fund in Newbury-based Roc Technologies, one of the UK's fastest growing companies for IT services, to support its longer-term growth strategy and its subsequent acquisition of City Change Management.
Venture capital
There is no shortage of talent in the VC space, according to Shoosmiths corporate partner, Sanjeev Sharma, who is a key member of the VC team. "We've seen a huge amount of activity, in particular in the tech sector. This has included spin-out work for universities, advice for our network of angels and investments for VC investors," he said.
Shoosmiths advised on more than 100 VC-backed deals nationally last year – including advising NVM Private Equity and Downing Capital on numerous venture capital investments. The firm also provides specialist Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) advice from Reading, led by tax partner Tom Wilde, to support its VC work.
Private equity
Previously seen as a relatively high-end funding option for a growth business, private equity is gaining ground with business owners who recognise that they need a hands-on approach and active involvement of investors to actively develop their business to the next 'sky's-the-limit' level.
Shoosmiths' national head of private equity is Sean Wright, and the team acts regularly for a number of PE firms on deals across the region, including acting for LDC on the exit of its investment in The Training Room, in a management buyout by a new holding group, Route2Work (having acted on the original £20m investment back in 2013) and advising the LDC south team in 2017 on its investments in Rush, Lucid Group and IP Solutions.
Other deals include supporting the shareholders of Thatcham-based Xtrac, a world leader in the design and manufacturer of high-performance transmissions for the motorsport and automotive industry, in the buyout deal with Inflexion Private Equity. The investment will help to fuel Xtrac's future expansion.
"We are seeing signs that companies are more open to PE investment to help drive ambitious growth, both at home and abroad," says Sean Wright.
"The directors I deal with seem very open and ready to translate their business models into global markets – from Asia to Africa as well as Europe and the States – and this can only be good news for the local economy and a strong post-Brexit outlook," he adds.

It's been a while since I've posted anything, so I felt the urge to cook up one of my ideas this weekend.
I'm hoping to build an app to track your favorite series and in future maybe also upcoming movies you want to watch. It's nothing significant, but I am doing it as a progress of learning a bit of Swift and Storyboards, along with getting more into Pixate.
All designs will be done in Sketch, prototyped in Pixate and then developed into Swift hooked on APIs, hopefully all by me. But I will get some help from a mentor :)
Anyways, this is a early early view of the list function with some light parallaxing, working in a pixate prototype.
PS. @Pixate, love your tool!

While trekking poles are relatively simple to use, they can be confusing to purchase, and even a bit scary to those with commitment issues. It can be difficult to figure out the difference between the various kinds of poles.
Not only are there several different brands out there to choose from, but you have key features like materials, basket size, suspension or no suspension, grip ergonomics, weight, etc. What I would like to do is give you a bit of a primer on what to look for, if you are deciding to either pick up a new pair or try a pair for the first time.
Trekking poles often create a love-hate relationship with hikers. I love them because I love my knees. I find that trekking poles give me added power going up by incorporating the use of my arms as well as my legs. On the descent, I find they help me to be more efficient and aid in prolonging the life of my joints. When crossing brooks or rock hopping, they give me two extra points of contact for better balance and comfort.

Sometimes, they can be a hindrance or get in the way. In these cases - such as bushwhacking or on super-steep trails where the use of your hands to grab and pull are required - it may be best to leave them at home, or simply run your hand through the loops and let them dangle.
Brands of trekking poles
There are too many to list, but only a few are truly in the limelight as being the best and most dependable. Most snowshoe makers have their own trekking pole designed mainly for winter travel. These poles can be used in summer too by simply removing the baskets.
Many of these are inexpensive, heavy and very basic. Komperdell, Leki and Black Diamond create some of the most widely used trekking poles in the business. They are also some of the best and come with a warranty as well.
Komperdell is reasonably priced, but once you get into the Leki and Black Diamond brands you can drop a bit more pocket change.
Two-section vs. three-section
A two-section pole is much stronger, typically made of aluminum and better for skiing or in situations where durability is a factor.
A three-section pole has the advantage of collapsing to a much smaller, portable piece of equipment. The third section however is much less durable due to its smaller diameter and often not covered under many warranties.
Aluminum - Poles are much heavier, but also much stronger. This durability makes them better for skiing. Aluminum is the least expensive option.
Carbon fiber - These are super light and much more expensive. The durability isn't as high, but they can take some light abuse.
Fiberglass - Similar to carbon fiber but a bit less expensive. The durability is also similar and should be treated as such.
This is a personal preference so don't let this be the only factor in buying or not buying (kind of like leather seats in a car). While many are made of some sort of rubber, some are made of cork.
The biggest complaint of cork is how fast it gets dirty. They also seem to gain an odor after many uses; you can blame the smell on your hiking partner, but sooner or later your pals will figure it out.
Some grips are slightly bent for a more ergonomic feel, which relieves some of the strain on the wrists. These are nice, but also seem to add to the sticker price.
Basket size
There are basically two basket styles available and some come with both: non-snow conditions and winter (snowshoeing and skiing).
Some hikers, like me, prefer no basket when snow is not in the mix. The baskets tend to snag on rocks, roots and branches. However, without a basket, there's no stopping point in soft terrain. They also get stuck between things. Oh, how these decisions hurt my head.
A common error is a hiker placing the large one over the small one. This is not correct. One must be removed first. If not removed, the other will fall off during the course of the day.
The snow baskets are much larger and help with floatation on the snow and don't punch through the middle earth as you are trying to get purchase. You will love a large basket in the snow and wonder how you went without so many years (like your first summit beer experience).
Many poles now have a spring suspension built into the shaft or a cushion just below the grip. This suspension helps on the descent to take a bit of pressure and shock off the arms, legs, knees and back.
This is also a personal preference, but the suspension does come with a higher price tag. On some models, the suspension can be turned on and off, kind of like a mountain hike.
Locking mechanisms
There are two locking mechanisms on poles, and both have their positives and negatives.
Twist lock - This is the original method of adjustment. The largest downfall to this is the internal locking sleeves tend to get worn out and become smooth. To fix this you can replace the sleeve or use a bit of sandpaper to roughen it back up so it will grip. In the field, course sand or a rock to roughen up the surface temporarily.
Flick lock - This is a simple locking adjustment where only a flick of the thumb locks down the pole section. The tightness can be adjusted in the field with your thumb nail or a dime. The flick lock simply pinches the two pole sections together to keep them from collapsing.
Try before you buy
Here is a thought: Take them for a test run, kick the tires so to speak.
It really is the best way to see what you like. The only problem is you are limited to your choices in most rental programs, but it doesn't hurt to ask. For about $5 per day, it's better than buying something you don't like and later turning it into a feng shui curtain rod. Not that I've done that, to your knowledge anyway.

Bus Story: Rag Mop
It's a gray drizzling start to the day as I start my bus-shuttle-water taxi route. A Levi Weaver station on Pandora swaddles me with soulful , clever songs about the interactions and misunderstandings between humans. A young woman, outfitted in black with a sheer, leopard-print scarf reads a magazine. I can't see which one, but page after page are "articles" about this starlet or that country singer or this reality tv wife and their loves and tribulations, but mostly, it's about their weight. Enter small child into the bus, on dead run down the aisle. Shrieking. And carrying a sippy-cup. Wet floor. Shooom-squeeeee-kerblammo! Kid is fine, but his beverage container pops open, spraying apple juice all over the woman. The magazine fulfills a better purpose now as a semi-absorbent mop.

On the east coast, the Canadian Maritimes offer charming fishing villages and rugged beauty, while on the Pacific coast we voyage along the spectacular Alaskan and Canadian shoreline, finding unmatched wilderness and rich native cultures.
Alaska is one of the world's most isolated and untouched destinations, a place where wildlife is free to roam and the skies are a constantly shifting dance of colour. Perhaps Alaska's biggest drawcard is its extraordinary wildlife — everything from brown bears to bald eagles, giant salmon, gray wolves, musk oxen and wandering moose.
Seek out all this incredible wildlife contained within the pure natural setting and quaint towns of America's 49th State. Hurtigruten's cutting-edge hybrid ship will take you through misty islands, scenic fjords, jaw-dropping glaciers and to national parks where few travellers have set foot. The state's southernmost town, Ketchikan, is known as the salmon capital of the world and is home to one of the largest collections of standing totem poles with strong ties to Tlingit culture.
Then there is Sitka – set among snow capped mountains, rich wildlife and even a volcano in sight. A former capital of Russian Alaska, the town is full of history, with a Russian Cathedral and historical buildings standing next to a forest full of totem poles. Further north, you will find the capital of Alaska, Juneau, which has the aura of a gold rush town with old saloons, historic hotels, and remnants of gold mines in the mountains and valleys. Another place of note is the small town of Haines, home to the Chilkat Tlingit people for centuries.
Then there is Newfoundland, a large island off the east coast of Canada settled over 4000 years ago by the Dorset people, a pre-Inuit people, who spanned across Arctic North America. Now a national historic site, this fascinating UNESCO heritage-listed archaeological site transports visitors to the time of Vikings.
The provincial capital of Newfoundland and Labrador, St John's, is located on the south eastern coast of the larger island and is full of charm. Colourful houses are bundled tightly onto each street, with criss-crossing roads and hidden alleys created hundreds of years ago by horse and carriage. Rich history and cultural life abound, with museums, sites and a thriving nightlife.
Newfoundlands Gros Morne national park, UNESCO world heritage-listed, is one of the most significant parks geologically in the world, with rocks pushed up from Earth's core into soaring mountains, cradling misty lakes and tiny seaside communities.

Now Is The Time To Spark Your Interest In Electric Vehicles
Monday, January 29th, 2018
on behalf of Bell Ingram
DITCHING your petrol or diesel car in favour of an electric alternative could make you significant savings with the help of Government incentives.
According to experts, the cost of owning an electric vehicle (EV) even without this support is set to come in line with that of traditional fuel-driven cars by 2025.
By purchasing an EV now drivers can take advantage of both the incentives and very low running costs, and enjoy the near-silent power and extended ranges of the latest models. One can probably add the amount they'd get when they get some cash for scrap, from their old car.
Joe Fergusson, Microgeneration Consultant at Bell Ingram, is a specialist in the sector and has developed a methodology for auditing the use of vehicles of all kinds, from quad bikes and cars to delivery vehicles, thereby illustrating the feasibility of substituting EVs.
He said: "The time is right for those whose vehicle use patterns match certain criteria relating to daily mileage and payload requirements to join the electric revolution.
"It's projected that the total cost of ownership of new EVs will match those of equivalent internal combustion engine vehicles by about 2025. By then the financial incentives offered now should no longer be required.
"At the moment grants to dealers of £4,500 (£2,500 for hybrid EVs) for the growing list of eligible vehicles and, in Scotland, interest-free loans to purchasers, plus subsidised electricity at most public charge points in Scotland and grant-assisted charge point installation, will bridge the gap for many."
At the end of 2017 Scotland had over 900 public, free-to-use charging bays, although over 95% of all charging is reported to take place at home overnight.
Around £80m was recently allocated to support the expansion of the UK's charge point infrastructure, with £7.8m offered to businesses to get chargers installed in their car parks, depots, farmyards and homes.
By making the switch to EVs drivers can massively reduce their running costs, to around 3-5p compared to 10-20p per mile, as well as providing cheaper servicing, protection from future air-quality-related tolls, tax incentives on purchase and benefits-in-kind and zero road tax. Owning an EV will also reduce poisonous emissions in built-up areas and your carbon footprint.
However, alongside the benefits of battery-fuelled vehicles Joe believes that there are some concerns about the demands on the National Grid.
He said: "There are fears about the National Grid not being able to cope with charging demand as EV numbers rise. However these are probably unfounded and in time the combined battery capacity of the nation's fleet of EVs will become an integral and crucial part of the power grid.
"The daily consumption of most EVs will be between 4 to 20kWh whilst having about 50kWh of battery capacity, so with plenty to spare to top up the grid through short bursts of peak demand. A premium tariff will be paid to EV owners for providing this facility.
"Some electricity suppliers are now also offering special lower supply tariffs to users of EVs. Other technologies such as hydrogen-fuelled fuel cell vehicles and wireless charging will tweak the landscape over time but anyone buying a current-model EV should not be disappointed."
Established 117 years ago, Bell Ingram has 130 professional staff across 11 UK offices including: farm, estate and forestry managers, chartered surveyors, estate agents, architects, planners and building surveyors and tourism, GIS mapping and renewable energy specialists.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (Teo Armus/The Charlotte Observer) - In April 2018, ICE ordered Rosa Ortez Cruz to turn herself in for deportation at a government office in Charlotte. Instead, the Honduran asylum-seeker sought refuge in a Chapel Hill church.
Now, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement wants to fine her $314,007 for failing to show up — or up to $799 for each day she has failed to do so.
In a letter sent to her and her lawyers through certified mail and provided to the Observer, ICE enforcement program manager Lisa Hoescht charged that Ortez Cruz had "willfully failed or refused" to present herself for deportation and "connived or conspired" to prevent her removal from the U.S.
In at least five states across the country, the Associated Press reported, similar notices have been sent to immigrants hiding out from deportation in churches — a practice known as taking sanctuary. As in schools and hospitals, the agency generally does not arrest people inside houses of worship.
These letters, advocates say, are a sign of the growing crackdown on asylum-seekers who have ignored deportation orders. A mass raid announced by President Donald Trump on Twitter was supposed to target over 200,000 such individuals starting on Sunday, though those arrests have largely failed to materialize so far.
"ICE is committed to using various enforcement methods — including arrest; detention; technological monitoring; and financial penalties — to enforce U.S. immigration law and maintain the integrity of legal orders issued by judges," the agency said in a statement to The Charlotte Observer.
But while laws fining those who evade deportation orders have existed for years, lawyers say they have never gone enforced — even after Trump signed an executive order in his first days in office, promising that those fines would be collected.
"It just doesn't make sense," said Simon Taft, a lawyer for Ortez Cruz at McKinney Immigration Law Firm in Greensboro, calling the letter "arbitrary and capricious."
In immigration cases where much smaller fines are issued, an immigration judge must provide advance notice. So it's unclear why ICE waited for over a year to communicate with Ortez Cruz, Taft said, about a fine that kicked in when she took sanctuary last April.
And besides, he said, she is unemployed and has nothing of monetary value.
Taft and his firm have appealed her case up to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, which is set to hear arguments this year.
He said Ortez Cruz could not comment because of the pending case. So did the Rev. Mark Davidson, the pastor at the Church of Reconciliation in Chapel Hill, which offered sanctuary to her in the facility it shares with the Chapel Hill Mennonite Fellowship.
Ortez Cruz, 38, had fled to the U.S. from Honduras with her young son in 2002 after an ex stabbed her multiple times, landing her in the hospital for over a month.
After living in Virginia and Washington, D.C., she moved to Greensboro, where she worked in a water filter factory and on a taco truck and regularly checked in with immigration authorities, said Davidson, the pastor. Ortez Cruz also had three other children, all of whom are U.S. citizens.
But in 2013, she was charged with misdemeanor child abuse and assault following a spat with her son. Ortez Cruz entered into an Alford plea — essentially, admitting that there's enough evidence to convict her but not admitting guilt — and was given a 60-day sentence and two years of probation.
That incident led to her being placed in deportation proceedings. An immigration judge ordered her removed from the U.S. in 2017, and her appeal was denied a year later, prompting her to take sanctuary in April 2018.
At the time, Ortez-Cruz told The Herald-Sun in Durham that she did not want to move into the church, so far away from her children.
"But I have no choice," she said, "because going back to Honduras is not an option. If I go there, it could mean the end of my life."
More people are believed to be in sanctuary in North Carolina than in any other state, though ICE refused to say whether others in the state besides Ortez Cruz have also been targeted for the fines.
ICE must give those immigrants it's targeting a notice and 30 days to dispute the fine. Taft said Ortez Cruz plans to do so "vigorously." He noted Ortez Cruz was never notified she could be fined up to $799 a day for ignoring the order.
Once the agency issues a fine, it can be appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals. ICE refused to say how it would enforce the fines should it win the dispute.
Davidson said the letter has not deterred his church from its commitment to Ortez Cruz.
"It's clearly an attempt to harass and intimidate people who are in sanctuary," he said. "How many people have $300,000 to pay in fines?"
The church turned an office into a bedroom and built a shower, with a rotating roster of over 125 volunteers from the congregation providing security and support to Ortez Cruz around the clock.
"There's a grave misunderstanding of who Central American refugees are," Davidson said. "It's not a crime to migrate from dangerous conditions. It's not a crime to seek asylum."

This is the very first maze of the map but will serve as a simple introduction to the rest of the game. I've still got a few more things to add to it.
Does it... look familiar to anyone?
Anyway, this new map may end up being the finale to the An Amazing Journey series. I think I'll have run out of mazes by the time I'm done.

Our beautiful baby girl Grace turned 1 year old on February 7th. I can't believe it has already been a year since she was born. You think time goes fast when you have one child but it really flies when you have two!!
I am a little crazy when it comes to my kids birthdays. My birthday is in December as is our sons and even though my mom tried to have parties and make a big deal out of my birthday it was always hard to do with it being so close to Christmas. So I'll admit I go a little crazy with planning their parties and having themes and trying to make it really special. I decided to do an owl themed party for Grace for her first birthday, so of course her first birthday pictures had to have some owl fun in them as well 🙂
Kathy at Kath's Krafts made the beautiful owl hat above for me. (Check out her shop on Etsy, she also takes custom requests!)
Some of you may have heard me say before that cake smash sessions are one of my favorite types of sessions to do. I especially had fun with our daughters session. Check out some of the images below!

Arsenal director Josh Kroenke 'relocates to London to focus on the Gunners'… in a move that casts doubts on Arsene Wenger's future
Kroenke, who was appointed as a non-executive director of Arsenal by his father, Stan, has had little involvement with Arsenal up until now
ARSENAL director Josh Kroenke has reportedly moved to London to focus on the Gunners.
Kroenke, 37, the son of Arsenal majority owner Stan and a highly influential figure at the Emirates, has been spending time in London over the last month to get a better grasp of how the north London club is run.
His arrival coincides with a dreadful spell for Arsene Wenger's men that has seen them thrashed by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final and lose their fourth game in a row with defeat to Brighton last Sunday.
Speculation over the future of manager Wenger, and reports that the club will change the manager over the summer, have been rife.
Ahead of Arsenal's match against Watford on Sunday, the club held a fans' forum at the Emirates.
Where one attendee claimed Gunners chief Ivan Gazidis refused to talk about Wenger as "it wouldn't be respectful," however Gazidis reportedly said Kroenke has relocated to the capital.
most read arsenal news
The Arsenal fan tweeted: "Josh Kroenke wanted to be here today but had a charity commitment. Getting involved a lot at the moment trying to get a full understanding of everything AFC do [sic].
"He has decided to put things on hold in USA and has moved to London in order to concentrate on Arsenal."
Meanwhile, last week in an interview with the Woj Pod podcast, Kroenke explained the need for Arsenal to be honest about the situation they find themselves in.
He said: "We have a saying over at Arsenal, victory through harmony. I think that victory through harmony can take a lot of different meanings, but for me victory through harmony comes from communication.
"You got to have open and honest dialogue about the reality that we are on because if we are sugar coating anything about ourselves, about our team, about our direction, we're only kidding ourselves and we're only going to be worse off for it in the long run."

Luke Graham MP for Ochil and South Perthshire has shown his support for a Private Member's Bill which aims to address the level of parking fines affecting his constituents who use private parking facilities in Perth and Stirling.
With parking firms issuing almost 13 times more tickets than they were a decade ago, it is time for a real overhaul of the private parking industry. If enacted, the Bill will enable the creation of a single code of practice for the management of private car parks, while also putting in place an appeals process.
The appeals process will cover operators in Perth and Stirling, such as Smart Parking in Perth and Excel in Stirling, who have been subject of numerous stories, complaints and campaigns. This new law will go some way to rebalance the tables towards the consumer.
This will go a long way towards tackling rogue private parking operators by creating clarity and consistency across the sector for both parking operators and motorists, as well as driving up standards.
Addressing the House of Commons, Luke Graham MP said:
"It's great to see a nation problem having a national solution in this bill with members from across the United Kingdom."
He added:
"The report from the Citizen's Advice in 2014 entitled 'It's not fine' highlighted the disparity in parking fines across the UK. Many of my constituents have complained about parking services across our region, now Parliament is taking action to fix it."

Harry Potter Sorting Hat Bath Bomb
Harry Potter Fans Will Freak Out Over This Magical Sorting Hat Bath Bomb
Harry Potter Fans Will Freak Out Over This Magical Sorting Hat Bath Bomb
When you're in need of a little rest and relaxation, few things are as soothing rereading a favorite book (it's like an old friend!) or hopping into a steaming tub and adding a bath bomb. If you turn to Harry Potter during difficult times, then you know how easy it is to combine your adoration for the series with your bath fizzy obsession. There are plenty of Potterhead products on the market — especially on Etsy! — including a golden snitch bomb and one filled with a love potion.
However, the team at Seventeen alerted us to an even more ingenious take on the Harry Potter bath bomb: this Sorting Hat fizzer, developed by Created by Rebecca Lynn.
Decorated with stripes of red (Gryffindor), green (Slytherin), blue (Ravenclaw), and yellow (Hufflepuff), the white bomb holds a little secret inside. Just drop it into your tub and wait for it to dissolve: you'll soon see one bright hue, which is meant to denote your chosen house. Magic!
While Rebecca's Etsy shop is currently unavailable, you can buy similar fizzers from Soak and Fizzles Bubble Co. ($4) and the Slippery Suds ($7). See the mesmerizing product in action when you read on.

Earlier in the year Battle Family Vineyards in Healdsburg, CA contacted me to do some product and commercial photography for a wine they were releasing for the first time in September. For a number of years they had been reserving their vines for other wineries like Alexander Valley and Francis Copolla, but this year they bottled their first Cabernet Sauvignon from grapes they harvested in 2014. So Emily Battle asked me to provide some good content photos for their marketing and website. We started this project in February with images of the wine and then wrapped up last month with headshots, family photos and landscape images. My wife and I were invited to stay the night on the property in their guesthouse so I could grab some images at sunset of Emily, Skip and Dan and then get some landscape photos at sunrise the following morning.
It was an absolutely beautiful place with amazing rolling hills, especially at sunrise and sunset. To top it off, the Battle Family is a kind and generous family with a great sense of pride in their wine and their property. I really enjoyed getting to produce these photographs for them and also getting to know the family so well, even for just two days. If you're looking for a new wine to try, be sure to check out Battle Family Vineyards.
Jake is my cousin. Well, second cousin actually but what does that matter. He's a cool kid with a big future ahead of him. He's heading to the University if New York in the fall to study music. Jake is really into rap and hip hop and has a knack of making some pretty sick beats.
For this shoot, we headed to downtown Tracy, CA to photograph his senior portraits in some of the empty alley ways there. I felt like those backgrounds and textures really added to Jake's persona and talent of being a hip hop musician and gave off a cool, grunge, urban vibe. It was a good time catching up with Jake for this shoot. Even though we don't spend a whole lot of time together, I think Jake is really going places. I can't wait to see where this music career leads him.
If you're looking to get some awesome senior photos, send me an email or drop me a line through my contact page. Cheers!

Awakening in the morning and seeing the sun just beginning to rise I realized it had stopped snowing, at least for the time being. I took this shot in the hopes of a painting. As I stood looking out I thought "gosh, no walls"? In Southern California everything is walled in. You're lucky if you see, let alone meet, your neighbor, a kind of a commentary on my society as of late. My son and his wife met their neighbors before they moved in. Here the property line is open and free, bound only by the respect for one another. Oil painting on a 6x6" Birch panel that is mounted onto a varnished wooden box: (SOLD)

I found it relaxing to setback and not think if I have to turn here or there, but just enjoy the ride through the still falling snow. I also had no-idea of where I was, I couldn't find my way back to my sons house if my life depended on it. My mission was simply to love the fact of being with him and what he was going to get at the market and cook. This oil painting is on a 8x6" varnished wooden box: (Sold)

My sons wife Jessica, who has an artistic flair was kind enough to chauffeur me around having an idea of what I might paint. I sat back in the warmth of the car with its heated seats and clicked away with camera in hand. Stopping here and there, Jess pointed out this and that. Then, with great enthusiasm, she spots the red hydrant that jumps out from the gray and white falling snow and slows to a stop. Taking one shot I said to her, "that's just what I was looking for".

My first morning in my sons home, I crept upstairs from the basement "something we don't have in California" and immediately made a pot of coffee. Cup in-hand I moved quietly around as everyone was still asleep upstairs. I went to the front door, opening it; only to be greeted by a second etched in glass. Looking out at the snow and cold within inches of me while still being protected by the warmth of this house, I smiled and said to myself "here is your next painting."

"SCHOOL DAY" original oil painting
Just a few day's ago my sons wife Jessica drove me around while in Minnesota on what turned out to be the biggest snow storm to hit. My camera at the ready I clicked away at everything. This is a school bus making its way, picking up kids and plowing through feet of snow on some small streets that where buried and where the snow plow's don't go.

Just landed in Minnesota yesterday with my son, picked his car up and drove to his house. On the way I shot picture after picture of snow, gray skies, traffic and all the things I love to paint. This morning woke-up to snow and more things to paint. The look is like my black & white paintings with dark trees and white snow with backgrounds of deep grays.. All things that the doc ordered for my minds-eye.

"LAGUNA CANYON " original oil painting
Many times while riding down this canyon the fog would roll up to greet me. Oh! There are plenty of sunny days here, but for now I choose this for the mood needed in a memory I have of this place. You see, most of the canyon has been widened after years of protesting by resident's and local supporters. Picket sign swinging people would line the sides of this road wanting you to honk in approval of their mantra "no building"... I waved back knowing the inevitable. After years the builders won. I must admit, it is far safer now as this once quiet road is now four lanes. I'm glad I got to see and travel up & down this old road for every now and then I get to paint what once was. Here is an original 6x6" oil painting on Birch panel, mounted on a varnished wooden box: (SOLD)

B-25 Mitchell
The B-25 was made immortal on April 18, 1942, when it became the first United States aircraft to bomb the Japanese mainland. Commanded by Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle, sixteen Mitchells took off from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet, flew 800 miles (1287 km) to Japan, and attacked their targets. Most made forced landings in China. They were the heaviest aircraft at the time to be flown from a ship at sea.
The B-25 was designed for the United States' Army Air Corps before the Second World War. The North American company had never designed a multi-engine bomber before. The original design had shoulder-mounted wings and a crew of three in a narrow fuselage. The USAAC then decided its new bomber would need a much larger payload -- double the original specifications. North American designers dropped the wing to the aircraft's mid-section, and widened the fuselage so the pilot and co-pilot could sit side-by-side. They also improved the cockpit. The USAAC ordered 140 aircraft of the new design right off the drawing board. There were at least six major variants of the Mitchell, from the initial B-25A and B-25B, with two power-operated two-gun turrets, to the autopilot-equipped B-25C, and the B-25G with 75mm cannon for use on anti-shipping missions. The British designated the B-25Bs as the Mitchell I, the B-25C and B-25Ds as the Mitchell II, and their B-25Js, with 12 heavy machineguns, as the Mitchell III. The US Navy and Marine Corps designated their hard-nosed B-25Js as the PBJ-1J. In the end, the B-25 became the most widely used American medium bomber of World War Two.
After the war, many B-25s were used as training aircraft. Between 1951 and 1954, 157 Mitchells were converted as flying classrooms for teaching the Hughes E-1 and E-5 fire control radar. They were also used as staff transport, utility, and navigator-trainer aircraft. The last B-25, a VIP transport, was retired from the USAF on May 21, 1960. Approximately 34 B-25 Mitchells remain flying today, most as warbirds, although at least one earns its keep in Hollywood as an aerial camera platform. [History by David MacGillivray]

Gruyere: Flavor-Full, Smooth & Sweet
Gruyere, is in fact many cheeses! Young and aged Gruyere, mountain Gruyere, summer and winter Gruyere, Gruyere from small village cheesemakers and from large commercial dairies. Depending upon season, source and age, the flavor and texture of each cheese are significantly altered. The rind is paramount in creating texture and flavor.
The basic recipe for Gruyere begins with about 130 gallons of fresh milk. The milk is poured into a large vat. The starter is added, and then the rennet. The milk is left to coagulate, which results in the milk looking like a big bowl of milky-jello, known as curd. The curd is cut into ½ inch pieces, before the cooking stage. As the curd is gently stirred, the temperature is raised by a few degrees every 2 minutes, until it reaches about 113°F. Then the temperature is raised by a few degrees every minute until it reaches 131°F.
At this point, the curd lies in a mass at the bottom of the vat. Cheesecloth is slid under the curd and the corners are tied and attached to a hook. The curd, wrapped in the cheesecloth, is lifted out and drained of whey. Then the wrapped curd is placed in a large wooden mold, which looks like a huge "spring-form" cake pan, and left to settle for up to 2 days. During that time it is turned and pressed frequently, and then rubbed with salt or immersed in a brine bath for a few hours. Salting is necessary for the flavor of the cheese and to create essential molds on the rind. The rind on gruyere style cheeses (as with all cheese) is paramount in creating the texture and flavor of the cheese.
Then as is the way with most European cheese-making, the cheese is handed over to an affineur (aging facility) that is responsible for the maturing of the cheese. During the maturing process each cheese is turned, rubbed and lovingly taken care of until it is sold (anywhere from 8-24 months).
Gruyere is good for cooking. It melts well — best done over low heat. Bu Gruyere is also excellent for just eating. It pares nicely with apples and pears.
Tasting Notes: Gruyere is typically aged for well over a year and gives Alpine Antique cheese an exceptionally full flavor. It's got an incredible nose, and a dry texture, yet it s creamy on the tongue. Often one can taste hints of fruit and nuts and smell is delicate fruity aroma.
Experts all agree that the best wine paring for all three of these European cheese are red wines. What better way to ensure that you have the finest wines to go with your world-renowned cheeses that to have them shipped right to your door each month by Monthly Clubs. We offer internationally recognized wines — both reds and whites — chosen for its excellence, just as our cheeses are.

Chiba's rough, glowering expression and tremendous physical skills (Chiba himself is an acknowledged martial arts master) have made him something of an one-man action movie genre in grindhouse classics like "The Streetfighter" series, and earned him devoted fans including Quentin Tarantino who paid tribute to him in both "True Romance" and "Kill Bill".
SINGAFEST's head of programming Dennis Bartok (American Cinematheque) has selected Los Angeles premieres of new features such as director Li Yu's engrossing Chinese drama "Buddha Mountain", featuring a break-out performance by actress and singer Fan Bingbing; director Doze Niu's 2-1/2 hour Scorsese-like crime epic "Monga"; the high flying guillotine-/one-armed swordsman-packed martial arts cinema extravaganza "Films of Fury: The Kung Fu Movie Movie" directed by Andrew Corvey & Andrew Robinson; plus Thai director Tom Waller's elegant, Agatha Christie-like mystery "Mindfulness And Murder".
"With Relativity Media's just-announced jump into the Chinese market with billions of dollars in film investment portending tremendous opportunities and collaborations -- SINGAFEST is obviously the right event at the right time, a cinematic melting pot merging Eastern and Western cultures to showcase the best of both worlds to the Asian community and beyond," said Ashley Jordan, CEO of Bigfoot Entertainment.
Other special events during SINGAFEST include:
• Special Children's Matinee Sun. October 2nd of the first 3-D animated feature from Japan, "The Little Ghostly Adventures of The Tofu Boy", about a lovable yokai goblin who finds himself lost in modern-day Tokyo.
•Other 2011 SINGAFEST selections include: "Kidnapper" directed by Kelvin Tong, "My Wedding and Other Secrets" directed by Roseanne Liang, and the controversial new emotional drama "The Girl With No Number" directed by Michael Gleissner. Gleissner's film was chosen as the closing night's special event, with proceeds benefiting the non-profit organizations "Asian Professional Exchange" (APEX) and "Center for Pacific Asian Families" (CPAF).
• Producer/Director Eli Roth ("Hostel", "Cabin Fever") was chosen to select his favorite overlooked Asian movie for SINGAFEST. He chose "Beat" Takeshi Kitano's most obscure gem, the riotous 1994 comedy "Getting Any?".
• Numerous social events and industry mixers including the SINGAFEST Industry Luncheon at the Napa Valley Grille in Westwood, featuring a colorful, no- holds-barred discussions about US-Asian filmmaking issues with featuring Orb Media Group CEO Peter Shiao, director/writer Quentin Lee ("The People I've Slept With", "Drift"), actress Gwendoline Yeo ("Star Wars: The Clone Wars") Producer/Director Tony Vitale ("One Last Ride") and others TBD.

AceShowbiz - Cate Blanchett predicts more "dangerous and interesting" films will come out of Hollywood when it's not run by white, middle-aged men.
Cate is joined by an A-list line-up of actresses in new heist flick "Ocean's 8", a continuation of George Clooney's Oceans reboot.
The cast were out for the New York premiere on Tuesday, June 05, with Cate telling the BBC how it's time for a change when it comes to moviemaking.
"There's so much talent out there, I think it's just lazy, entrenched thinking," she stated. "And when in five years when everyone says the studio system is a little tired, it's because it's got the same white middle/older-aged men making the same decisions, so they're only talking to themselves. The minute you bust that open, it's a much more creative, circus atmosphere where really, dangerous interesting work can take place."
All eight lead stars attended the premiere, with Cate posing alongside Sandra Bullock, Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Awkwafina and Sarah Paulson.
Recalling her experience on set, double Oscar nominee Helena admitted she was starstruck when production first started.
"Cate came up to me said 'are you having a freak out, you're acting opposite the most famous face in America?' And I said 'yes I am'. So you know it was like 'that's Sandra Bullock, that's Sandra Bullock'. It's just weird," she said.
"And then seeing everyone together was really weird. So you had to have like an hour of weirdness and then you sort of adjusted."

Riot Games' illogical placement of servers
Alright, so, what do I mean by "illogical"? Looking at the wiki seems like everything is fine right? Think again! Look at the placement of EUW server, Amsterdam, normal right? Yes. Now look at EUNE server. Germany, normal right? Nope, the whole playerbase of the EUNE server is much more east, and yet, they put the server in Germany. I haven't seen any Germans in my games, although they should have better ping in EUNE than in EUW. Why Riot? Granted the server parks in Frankfurt are probably less expensive, but it doesn't make much sense still. Even berlin could've been a better place, since it's in east Germany, not in the middle of it (That's like 450km apart). Like seriously, Stockholm would've been a much better place considering it's NORDIC EAST, although there are an AWFUL lot of Greeks, Arabs and lots of other southern Europeans (ex-Yugoslavians if you ask me, but that would be rude AND geographically incorrect, since Yugoslavia doesn't exist anymore). Just some random thing I discovered with the servers that makes geographically no %%%%ing sense. But expenses wise maybe, since in Germany you could get a pretty gucci server with 110€ a month, while in Lithuania there was a server for 150€ per month, which was a bit shittier in specs. Quick clarification: Yeah this is a stupid post, this is all just a banter if about if ping mattered only geographically. But there is alot more to it than just geography...

text: By Lauren E. Williams, Special to the AFROCurrent Miss Black USA Daphne Lee will pass on her crown this weekend during the Miss Black USA 2018 pageant in the nation's capital. A professional ballerina, graduate student and ambassador to the Republic of Sierra Leone, Lee previously held the title of Miss Black New Jersey before winning the historic, national competition.Unlike other pageants, Miss Black USA is a scholarship pageant focused on redefining beauty and highlighting the diversity of women of color. It was founded in 1986 to showcase Black women and support them in their pursuit of higher education.Miss Black USA, now the biggest pageant for women of color, will crown its next national queen August 12. (Courtesy Photo)"Growing up I often read about the protracted stories of African-American she-roes, and I was inspired by them to use whatever talents I had to give back," Karen Arrington, founder and CEO of the Miss Black USA pageant, told the AFRO. "But as I watched mainstream media I didn't see positive images of women who looked like me. So, I thought that creating a pageant could be a great platform to celebrate the achievements of African-American women who had been disproportionately represented in mainstream media."Today, Miss Black USA is the largest national pageant for women of color and, according to the pageant's website, the "largest single source of scholarship funding for Black women" with more than $500,000 in scholarships awarded. Contestants range from college students and graduate students to professional women. The Maryland-based non-profit organization has also expanded to include additional competitions for teens and older women."Miss Black USA has changed greatly since we started," Arrington told the AFRO. "Among many things, we now have a library named in our honor at the Lower Basic Primary School in the Gambia, West Africa. Miss Black USA gets to travel there and read to students while representing our organization."During what the organization calls her "year of service," Miss Black USA also travels nationally for the Heart Truth campaign empowering women to take care of their heart health.Arrington continued, "Wherever there is an issue affecting our community, that's where Miss Black USA will be."Looking to win the 2018 title are 38 contestants from across the country, according to Arrington. They will compete in four competitions: 1) Onstage Question, 2) Talent, 3) Evening Gown, and 4) Lifestyle and Fitness.On hand to judge this year's competition are Dr. Myla Bennett, a celebrity doctor and philanthropist seen on Bravo's Real Housewives of Atlanta; Thomas W. Dortch. Jr., Chairman of the Board of Directors for The National Black College Alumni Hall of Fame; and Ocielia Gibson, a former Miss Black USA, author, and speaker. The event's host will be Stevie Baggs Jr., a former NFL athlete, who previously starred as the bachelor on WE-TVs Match Made in Heaven.Finals for the Miss Black USA 2018 pageant take place August 12 at the University of the District of Columbia.

No matter where you live, you probably know how important it can be to have good relationships with the people who live around you. You may not be best friends with your next door neighbor, but you certainly understand the importance of having a healthy community. Having a community of people who know each other and communicate with each other can help you to prevent crime in your neighborhood and to help people who live their improve their lives. But, you may not have any idea of how to improve the community relations that you and your neighbor have with each other.
Luckily, there are some very concrete things that you can do to have a good impact on your community. One of the most practical and appreciated ways that you can do this is by hosting a neighborhood clean-up day. Get a few neighbors and rent a dumpster for the community to share. Look into dumpster rental pinellas park fl or in your local community. Then, tell your neighbors that you have the dumpster available. This will allow them to dispose of their unwanted, bulky items while also getting to know their neighbors at the drop-off point.
Another idea is to host a carnival, parade, or other celebration in your community. Talk to local business owners, churches, and other civic leaders about pooling your resources to host something that will be really great. Rent a bouncy house for the local kids in your community, offer games and prizes, and pay local artists, musicians, and celebrities to entertain your neighbors. You can also open up any fair or festival to local small business owners who would love the chance to sell their merchandise and get to know their neighbors and potential customers in the area.
Finally, there's no better way to improve your neighborhood than by reaching out and talking to people. Find out what problems people face and figure out solutions to all those problems. Soon, your whole community will be better off and happier.

"Gunfiyah" is a single from Dr. Dre after two years.
According to the reviews, the distinguished Dre still has it.
If this is how Dr. Dre's next project sounds like, then I'm SOLD 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 https://t.co/fGl4vJQYxu
— Southpawer Official (@Southpawer) July 10, 2017
Additionally, NPR states that the new music "defies his age". Dr. Dre declares "we run the streets" on the recently released reggae rhythm.
Additionally, the song is featured within a segment of the "The Defiant Ones" event. "The Defiant Ones", as previously mentioned, is a miniseries following the journey of Jimmy Lovine & Dr. Dre. The fourth, and final, episode of the documentary series airs tonight at 10:30 P.M. ET according to HBO. On top of all this, though, Dr. Dre just made new statements regarding the physical attack in 1991.
"Any man that puts his hands on a female is a f—ing idiot. He's out of his f—ing mind, and I was out of my f—ing mind at the time. I f—ed up, I paid for it, I'm sorry for it, and I apologize for it… I have this dark cloud that follows me, and it's going to be attached to me forever… It's a major blemish on who I am as a man…"
-Dr. Dre via New York Daily News
He also was recently seen in the studio with J. Cole though. Anyone else ready for a collab?

First ever human studies to document the interaction between free radicals and vascular endothelial function in the aged as a function of exercise training status. Contrary to conventional wisdom, antioxidant prophylaxis in the aged "following exercise training" was shown to impair (rather than improve) vascular endothelial function with return to a hypertensive state. Collectively, these paradoxical findings have important clinical implications and suggest a need for caution when combining exercise and acute antioxidant supplementation in the aged.

Wine Me Up! is a fun, friendly, affordable, and to-the-point series of e-books for everything about wine. Each issue of Wine Me Up! focuses on a single grape, a notable wine region, a particular cuisine, or an individual facet of wine tasting, appreciation, buying, and cellaring. This a la carte format makes it easy – whether you are new to wine or a confirmed enofile – to find the information you're looking for, without being bogged down in the tremendous amount of detail, trivia, and history that lies behind every bottle on the store shelf.
The Wine Me Up! blog features my daily tasting notes, announcements about e-books and videos, and snippets of other useful information.
About the Author
John C. Feltz, CSW, has been involved in wine since his parents started a vineyard and winery in southwest Ohio in the 1970s. He's been a wine-drinker ever since, and has worked in and out of the wine industry – production, retail, and restaurants – ever since.

Some cars are so legendary, a few of them even have engines with their own names. Ferrari, for instance, had a V-12 named Colombo. For a while, Ford had the Flatty until 1953. And during most of the '60s, Chrysler had the Street Hemi, arguably the most powerful engine of its time.
Curiously, for a car as iconic as the Cadillac, no one ever really bothered to give that model's engine a name. Recently, General Motors changed all that when it continued to promote its sporty CT6 model as well as the block of horsepower that will get it up to speed. According to Motor1, it's called Blackwing, and while there's no background on the selection or any reason for the moniker, auto enthusiasts admit at least it's catchy.
But the name does suggest a bit of bullishness from Cadillac, which has a pedigree closer to luxury than performance. That changed back in 2004 when the company introduced its V-series models that promised the auto industry that Cadillac was little more than a four-wheeled poodle to be paraded around. V-models coming out demonstrated there was also some power under that hood, a point Cadillac wanted to reinforce with the CT6. Blackwing has also been a huge selling point for Cadillac's CT6 when it debuted at the New York Auto Show earlier this spring, back when the engine didn't have a name.
So, what's the hoopla surrounding the engine with a mysterious moniker? Under that hood is a heavy-duty four-liter V8 engine with roughly 550 horsepower and twin turbochargers built into the manifolds at the top, making it possible for extra boost when the pedal is to the metal. That's a far cry from the three-liter V6 blocks maxing at 404 horsepower in previous models.
Presumably, because of the new design, especially with the manifolds, Blackwing is apparently capable of being used in other models capable of hosting a mid-sized engine. It's one reason why the makers of Corvette are rumored to be considering Blackwings in future models.
Besides the engine, the CT6-V has a spanking new 10-speed automatic transmission, an upgraded slip differential in the all-wheel-drive configuration, improvements to the magnetic ride control suspension, and augmentations in the brake system.

We only work with patients whose IVF clinics have qualified them to become egg donor recipients. This involves rigorous testing as well as comprehensive psychological evaluations and counseling.
For the most part, egg donor recipients consist of those who have experienced numerous rounds of failed IVF cycles, and have suffered a tremendous amount of stress and heartache along the way. Despite the failures and the acceptance that they won't be able to conceive using their own eggs, they endure and persist, wanting to achieve their dream of having a baby. We can tell you confidently that our egg donor recipients are some of the most compassionate and loving people we know, which is why we continue to work so hard for them to find the perfect donor.

Field star laments end of Olympic dream
CARL MYERSCOUGH may win a shot medal for Great Britain in the World Championships next month, but he will never do so in the Olympics after the rejection yesterday of his appeal against the bylaw of the British Olympic Association (BOA) that bars any person found guilty of a doping offence from competing at the Games.
Myerscough, ranked No 2 in the world, ended a two-year worldwide ban in 2002 for taking a cocktail of drugs, including anabolic steroids. However, unlike every other nation in the world, except for Norway, Britain bans a guilty competitor for life from competing at the Games, except in two circumstances — when the offence is minor, or when there are significant mitigating circumstances.

Is AllofMP3 Legal? Non-Contractual Licensing Under Russian Copyright Law
18 Pages Posted: 12 Dec 2008
Date Written: 2007
Lately, Russian copyright law has attracted keen interest of foreign media and law review authors. The interest is mostly related to the activity of several Russian web sites (such as AllofMP3) selling copyrighted music at low price and without piracy protection.
Russian law in principle allows collective right-management organizations to issue licenses for musical works without having respective right holders' permission. The statutory law does not clearly indicate when exactly this is possible. However, courts do not enforce this provision against unwilling right holders. Foreign right holders covered by the Bern Convention or other international treaties of Russia can get protection if they are ready to sue relevant management organizations and their licensees in Russia. The upcoming intellectual-property-law reform enhance protection of right holders in this particular respect.
