If you live outside of the Triangle area of North Carolina, you'd be excused if you didn't really care that much about the radio station that carries the Tar Heel Sports network football and basketball games. Those of us living in the area where UNC is housed, however, had gotten used to a certain rhythm of the season. While the THSN considered WCHL its flagship, the small reach of its band meant that most folks in the area had to reach for another station to listen to games.
For decades those stations were ones that were owned by iHeartRadio, first 100.7 and then eventually 106.1. In recent years, 106.1 changed from a classic rock station to a talk radio format, and whatever your political bent it sure seemed like college sports weren't a great fit on a station making its hey on political opinion. Contracts are contracts, though, and until the one UNC had signed was done iHeart could put it wherever they wanted.
On Tuesday it became clear that contract was up, because UNC and Learfield announced that they have a new home in the Triangle.
— UNC Tar Heels (@GoHeels) July 27, 2021
We're excited to partner with Curtis Media Group to make @WPTF 98.5 FM/680 AM our new flagship station for @TarHeelFootball & @UNC_Basketball
» https://t.co/IvNv9iobuw#GoHeels pic.twitter.com/ZLoDCjbnfg
The move is notable for several reasons. First and foremost, the station that the majority of folks in the triangle will go to is owned not only by a North Carolinian, but a UNC alumnus in Don Curtis. Curtis served two terms on the UNC Board of Trustees, and has made several gifts to the school. As the main hub for the Tar Heels, chances are the games won't be seen as just a property for the group, but as somewhat of an honor which should help UNC in the promotion of events and coach's shows.
The other thing notable about this move is that the actual station carrying the games will be WPTF 98.5 FM. Fans of a certain age...you know older folks like yours truly...will remember that WPTF used to be the home for NC State Athletics. Their move over to Capital Broadcasting's 99.9 and 101.5 allowed the Tar Heels to go over to the News station, which also had to make Curtis smile.
The Tar Heels won't be leaving their flagship roots, though, despite the tricky wording of that tweet. WCHL will still be carrying Carolina games, as the Voice of the Tar Heels and the station itself quickly clarified.
After some confusion surrounding a UNC press release, 97.9 The Hill WCHL and https://t.co/PkP9YGcDwP would like to confirm: we remain the flagship station for Tar Heel sports.https://t.co/QAnHfAfozH— WCHL & Chapelboro (@WCHLChapelboro) July 27, 2021
Also, want to clarify a couple things regarding the affiliate change...— Jones Angell (@JonesAngell) July 27, 2021
1. This is in the Triangle. We do not anticipate any other major affiliate changes
2. Our great partner @WCHLChapelboro is still an affiliate on the THSN
3. All streaming options will still be available
The news that WCHL is still carrying games is good news, as they have great post game coverage that has included our own Jake Lawrence.
Overall, good news for everyone involved as the station switch should allow for a better fit, a UNC alumnus is now the Triangle flagship, and fans used to WCHL will still be able to listen to the Chapel Hill Station provide coverage.
The best part? We are only a few weeks away from actually listening to games on these stations!

A person in the business development field told me something interesting yesterday: People in his circle were starting to worry that NoMa, with all of of its recent large governmental leases, could start feeling like an office zone akin to the barren wasteland at L'Enfant Plaza and Federal Center, if landlords weren't careful. NoMa's glassy boxes, after all, are some of the only ones in the District that still have huge contiguous spaces; So far, the neighborhood contains 575,000 square feet for the Department of Justice, 200,000 for the District of Columbia Public Schools, 288,000 for the General Services Administration, 202,000 for the Securities and Exchange Commission, 167,000 for the Internal Revenue Service, and 160,000 for the Veterans Administration, to name the biggest occupants. There are a few media organizations and smaller non-profits and advocacy groups, but that's a fraction of the total inventory.
Does a less-than-diverse tenant mix necessarily make for the kind of environment that plagues D Street SW, where people flood into work in the morning and scuttle away at night, leaving a ghostly landscape in their wake? Not according to Liz Price, who heads up the NoMA Business Improvement District.
"I don't have any concerns about this becoming L'Enfant Plaza Two," she said. The things that will save it include residential buildings like the Loree Grand, which has been filling up quickly, new cafes—all lunch-oriented at the moment, but a sit-down restaurant is apparently on the way—and the Harris Teeter, opening December 7th. Meanwhile, the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development is targeting incentive programs for small businesses and non-profits to NoMa and the Capitol Riverfront. And the BID will be rolling out a branding campaign for the neighborhood early next year.
Plus, the fundamental difference between NoMa and the L'Enfant Plaza area is private ownership: Government agencies won't necessarily stick around forever, like they would in the HUD building or at the Department of Energy. "In the future, they could become any kind of tenant," says Price.
It'll never be Georgetown, filled with boutique firms and crowded with people at night. And it hasn't reached the heat level of Penn Quarter, with its high residential density and brand-name restaurants. But the federal and District workers in NoMa-based agencies can at least feel luckier than their L'Enfant Plaza-tethered brethren. If you've got to work in a government ghetto, this might be the best you could ask for.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have announced that Thiago Silva, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Sergio Rico have extended their contracts with the club until the end of the season.
The Brazilian defender, the Cameroon striker and the Spanish goalkeeper will therefore be available for the Coupe de France final against Saint-Etienne on July 24 and the Coupe de la Ligue final against Lyon on July 31, with both games at the Stade de France, the club said in an official statement.
The three players will also be eligible for the final rounds of the Champions League, organised by UEFA in Lisbon from August 12 to 23, it added.
35-year-old Silva has made 310 appearances in all competitions since arriving at PSG in 2012, scoring 17 goals.
Choupo-Moting, 31, has worn the Rouge & Bleu on 48 occasions and notched 8 goals since signing in 2018.
26-year-old Rico has made 8 appearances between the sticks for PSG since his August 2019 loan from Sevilla FC.

Chelsea saw off a nail-biting match from a determined Reading side to clinch all three points and put them top of the table.
An early Lampard penalty was cancelled out by a Pogrebnyak header, but the game was truly turned on its head when Cech allowed Guthrie's free-kick to squirm past him.
Adam Federici had a moment to forget for himself, when Gary Cahill's long-range drive equalled the tie, and then Fernando Torres put Chelsea in front in his 150th Premier League appearance, with a wonderfully engineered team goal. Branislav Ivanovic wrapped it up late on, as Reading pressed.
With Ramires back to full health, it was Bertrand who had to make way, and the Brazilian had the best chance of the early stages, when he was clean through, but he opted to shoot with his weaker foot, much to the anger of Torres, who was free in the centre.
Chelsea looked to go offensive from the off, and it was a case of deja vu when Hazard won another penalty, neatly cutting inside and being felled. Lampard did the rest, smashing the ball home.
It was Hazard's third assist in a Chelsea shirt, and he was already warming to the Chelsea crowd.
It could have gotten even better for him had he managed to control a Mata ball, but his lay-off to Torres was miscued and wide.
For all Chelsea's dominance, they were defensively susceptible, and Reading found this out, when Pogrebnyak got in front of Gary Cahill to loop a Drogba-esque diving header past Cech.
And it got worse for Chelsea when Guthrie's powerful drive somehow creeped into the back of the net when Cech was behind it.
Fernando Torres could not really impact on the match, and was a mere spectator, watching in awe of the sublime skills of Mata and Hazard.
It was left to a defender to show Torres how it was done, but Brian McDermott will surely be angry with his goalkeeper, who failed to keep out a straight, low Gary Cahill hit.
Daniel Sturridge came on in the 68th minute as Chelsea chased for the winning goal, but his first real contribution was a shot that flew high and wide, typical of the Englishman last season.
But Torres was not to be denied, and joined in the fun with nine minutes left, and the pressure paid off. Lampard, Mata and Hazard all squirmed around the box and the ball found its way to Ashley Cole, who showed the composure and experience to square to an offside Torres to tap in.
Five minutes stoppage time brought Reading a corner, and as Federici went up to redeem himself after the Cahill clanger, he left an open goal, and Hazard unselfishly passed to Ivanovic, to score his second goal in two games.

The Shimoga parliamentary constituency has been drawing people's attention ever since Geetha Shivrajkumar, daughter of former chief minister S Bangarappa, was fielded by the JD(S) to take on the BJP candidate B S Yeddyurappa.
She is seeking the mandate from the people to inherit her father's legacy. Along with her actor husband Shivrajkumar, Geetha has been canvassing extensively in the district. Deccan Herald had an exclusive interview with the couple at a restaurant in Shimoga. While Geetha answered some questions, Shivrajkumar took the others.
What prompted you to take up this challenge?
Geetha: Earlier, it was decided to field my mother (Shakuntala) as the JD(S) candidate. But we had to drop the idea given her illness. Then she asked my husband to allow me to contest. I made up my mind after discussing it with my husband. So, I have come in place of my mother.
Why did you feel your wife is the right choice?
Shivrajkumar: I often felt she is a good manager. She has been successfully managing my film projects, household work and daughters' education for the last several years.
Besides, she comes from political background, and had closely observed her father's political career. When the opportunity came, I felt it is my duty to encourage her to take up the new venture. Nobody is born with experience.
Mamata Banerjee, J Jayalalitha and Sushma Swaraj have all proved that women are equally capable of reaching greater heights in politics. Besides, entering politics is not a crime. Some people asked me if it is okay to enter politics. I feel one should have a good heart to serve people and experience comes next.
What are the major problems in this constituency?
Geetha: I feel road connectivity to rural areas is not good. Some villages in Sagar taluk do not have roads at all. People living in rural areas face drinking water shortage, power problem, etc. Then there are the woes of 'bagair hukum' cultivators and areca growers. Areca cultivation has been the source of livelihood for a large number of people in the district. So, their problems should be solved on a priority basis.
Both of you have been drawing huge crowds. How do you rate your chances?
Geetha: I am confident but I am not going to be overconfident. I have received overwhelming response from people even when I campaigned in his (Shivrajkumar's) absence. It is evident that people have the highest regard for my father. I've been able to reach out to more people when my husband is around.
Did you feel the voters' pulse during campaigning?
Shivrajkumar: That's an uphill task. But people turned up in large numbers to see me and other film stars during our campaigning. I believe it's quite natural. I hope and pray the crowd would turn into votes. Everything has a beginning in life. This is a new experience for us.
How did your daughters react when they learnt about your electoral battle? (The couple smile)
Geetha: My elder daughter (Nishkala) was highly supportive and asked me to go ahead. But the younger daughter (Niveditha) did take some days to come to terms with the fact that her mother is going into something different. She asked me not to accept this challenge under pressure.
She said, 'if you like it, go ahead.' Now, both of them are supportive. Both were disturbed when the media started making a hue and cry about the electoral battle. But they never told me to give up without putting up a fight.
Do you feel you should have joined a national party, rather than the JD(S)?
Geetha: No. I embraced the JD(S) as my father was associated with it during the last phase of his political career.
Besides, this is the party that gave a recognition to my brother (Madhu) in politics. He is Sorab MLA. That's why I decided to join the JD(S). I don't regret it.
Will differences in the family impact the results?
Shivrajkumar: I don't think so. Besides, we do not have any guilt feelings. Face is the index of your mind. I can't pretend to be good at heart. People might say several things. We should ignore them and focus only on the goal. Our aim is to do something good for the people.

How To Spot Fake Gucci Interlocking G Hoodie

How To Spot Fake Gucci Hoodies: The Chest Logo Print
Start the Gucci authentication process by verifying the logo print found in the front side of your Gucci Interlocking G hoodie. Make sure that the format checks out, meaning that the text has the right spacing and fonts.
The replica Gucci hoodies tend to have this print looking much bulkier, as the letters are often wider and smaller than those found in an authentic piece. The interlocking G logo also tends to be smaller in the fake Gucci Interlocking G hoodies.
Another point to note here is the colour of the printing. In the real vs fake Gucci Hoodie comparison below, pay attention to the sail shade of the real print, and the snow-white shade of the replica logo.
The different-grade replicas make different mistakes when trying to copy the OG style. The LegitGrails Team is going to show you a few examples of the neck labels to educate you on those varying flaws.
Fake vs Real Gucci Interlocking G Hoodie: The Lower-Quality Neck Tag
The cheaper Gucci fakes often fail to copy the neck label due to the stitching found in the upper corners. The threads used in the stitching must be red, and the sews must be rather thick and horizontal. Some authentics may have this stitching appear vertical after some time of use, so make sure the rest of the item checks out with the guide as well.
Another important detail to verify here is the inside texture of the hoodie. The fake Interlocking G Gucci hoodies often have a very rough texture with thick threads. An authentic Gucci hoodie would have a softer texture, with a consistent pattern.

Very punctual and professional from start to finish
I purchased a pre-loved LV Bag and I wanted to play it safe! As it turns out, it is authentic and I could not be happier with the confirmation and authenticity certificate! Thank you!
They processed my request super fast!
they needed more photos and they were specific on the kind of photo.highly recommended site! will definitely use their service again. thank you so much!
Thanks again
My vintage Gucci bag didn't have a serial number making it impossible for the average person to know if it was genuine. So happy for the outcome of my genuine handbag. Thanks again
Highly recommend!
It's my 3rd time now using their service and I have to say their customer service is the best and got my certificates quite quickly. Highly recommend!
I was looking for a way to authenticate high quality vintage items and came across LegitGrails. So I sent them several items to authenticate and they were terrific. I had to send additional photos a few time but that gave me more confidence in them!
Gucci Interlocking G Hoodie Authentication: The Higher-Quality Neck Tag
The neck label is also the main logo label of the hoodie, so it is crucial to verify if the logo looks correct. Make sure that the Gucci logo does not look bulky, as the fakes often have their letters look rather square-shaped. In the Gucci Hoodie fake vs real comparison below, the difference is obvious.
Looking at a higher-accuracy replica hoodie, it is worth examining the 'Made in Italy' label, which is placed right below the main neck tag. This mini label often appears inconsistent either due to its size, or due to the look of its text. Make sure that the text is not too small or too large, and that the fonts are consistent with our real example below.
How To Authenticate Gucci Interlocking G Hoodie: The Backside Of The Neck Tag
The LegitGrails Team always requests clear photos of all the pages of all the labels found in your item, as there are such areas as the backside of the neck label, which are vital in the Gucci authentication process. Here we must check the stitching and the quality of the embroidery.
Firstly, make sure that the smaller label is correctly attached to the main logo tag. The replicas rarely get this detail right, as those often show messy sews and other obvious inconsistencies.
Then, verify the quality of the Gucci logo embroidery; even though the extent to which the logo shows varies the across retail hoodies as well. What we advise to do here to locate any embroidery inconsistencies. As you may notice in the comparison below, the replica logo's outline appears to be messy, while the real Gucci logo has the right shape.
How to Legit Check A Gucci Hoodie: The Washing Label
When it comes to checking the washing label, you need to pay attention to the formatting of the text. What we mean by formatting is mainly the fonts used, the spacing between the characters and the lines, and the overall placement of the text.
An authentic Gucci Interlocking G hoodie has considerable space between the upper stitching and the main Gucci logo. Notice how in the replica example below, the logo is placed too far up. Such inconsistencies often appear due to the fact that the replica manufacturers got the overall dimensions of the label wrong. Hence, it is likely that the text is placed too far up, because the label itself is considerably smaller than usual, because the item is not authentic.
Make sure that the fonts look right, so look out for the typical flaws such as the text looking too thin or too thick.

Gucci Hoodie Real vs Fake: The Size Tag
The size tag must be placed on the left side of the washing label; some fakes have it placed on the right, some do not have one at all. The length of the label is also important: the fake hoodies may have this tag being too short or too long.
Focus of the embroidery in the size tag of your Gucci Interlocking G hoodie. A counterfeit Gucci hoody may have the size indication with a messy outline, similar to the flaw found in the backside of the neck label.

How Your Local/Unsigned Band Should Best Utilize Social Media
1. Facebook is the Enemy
Don't ignore the platform entirely, but don't waste your energy (and especially your money) trying to gain likes for your band page. The space is too crowded, and Facebook's algorithm won't show your "fans" most of what your band publishes anyway. You should create a Facebook page and absolutely keep it current — especially with tour dates — but don't expect it to make or break your band.
2. YouTube is Your Friend
YouTube is, by and large, the place most people go for music discovery, so you better make the most of it: be sure your best songs are uploaded to the platform, and go out of your way to create engaging, funny content that people are going to want to come back to and share. YouTube offers by far the best opportunity for your band to catch on.
3. Twitter is Switzerland
Twitter is fantastic for disseminating news and for real-time conversation, but very few use it to keep track of bands. Make sure your band is on Twitter and that you're servicing anyone who follows you there on a basic level, but don't stress beyond that.
4. Bandcamp Should be Your Main Webstore
Music fans are very familiar with Bandcamp's super-simple interface — which is just as easy to use for musicians — so there's no reason it shouldn't be your main webstore. Make the full album available for streaming, sell it as a name-your-own-price download (with a minimum, if you like) and set up bundles with t-shirts, hoodies, etc. As your band grows you may need help with order fulfillment from one of the bigger merch companies (Indie Merch, Merch Now, etc) but at this level if you can't handle taking care of a few orders a week your problems are probably far greater.
5. Don't Be Scared of Spotify
Yes, the per-stream payouts are shit, but no one complains about that with YouTube where they're even less. The key is making your music available to be easily discovered or searched for. Don't worry about revenue at this point; just having your music heard is way more important.
6. Instagram is for Brand-Building
Use Instagram as a direct conduit to fans for interesting content that isn't appropriate for other social networks. Be forewarned: do not abuse this privilege. There's nothing worse than an Instagram over-poster. General rule of thumb is no more than one post per day. Don't post links to streams, videos, etc. — that's not what Instagram is for, since the links aren't even clickable (except in the bio, and even then there's only one). Post something interesting and different that even non-fans / casual passers-by might stop and look at.
7. Soundcloud isn't Really Relevant in Metal
It's HUGE in the electronic world, but Soundcloud just doesn't have much of a presence in metal. May as well post up your singles there — why not? — but there's no need to post a full album, because it's just a stream without all the benefits of Bandcamp.
8. Don't Bother with Snapchat
Seems like it's been on the decline ever since Instagram rolled out its identical "Stories" functionality. Posting the same content to both is a huge chore — as does keeping each one curated separately — so I say don't bother.
9. Google Plus
No one uses it.
10. MySpace
If you're still on MySpace what are you even doing here?

This site contains information released online prior to January 20, 2009.
Click HERE to go the CURRENT commerce.gov website.
Information released from January 20, 2009 to present.
Please note: The content in this archive site is not updated and external links may not function.
This web site is designed to provide prospective applicants with information to help them decide whether and how to apply for a position with this administration. This online application is the fastest and most accurate way to get your information to the Administration.
Please read the following and find links below to begin the application process. Presidential appointments are an ongoing effort. Some of President's appointments require Senate confirmation. These appointments are for positions throughout the federal government, for the Cabinet and subcabinet, for members of regulatory commissions, for ambassadorships, for judgeships and for members of numerous advisory boards. The President also makes many other political appointments that do not require Senate confirmation.
Factors to Consider
To serve our country as a member of the administration is both an honor and a privilege. However, government service is not for everyone. Anyone thinking about applying should be aware that:
- The hours are long and the pace intense.
- There is much public/press scrutiny, as you would expect in an open, democratic form of government such as ours.
- Most applicants under serious consideration for an appointment will go through a full FBI background check in which their employment, professional, personal, travel, medical, financial, legal, military and educational histories will be reviewed and scrutinized.
- The financial holdings and sources of income for most applicants under serious consideration must be disclosed for review for possible conflicts of interest, and any conflicts must be remedied by divestiture, the creation of special trusts, etc.
- Most appointees' dealings with the Federal government during and for a period of time after their service will be significantly restricted to prevent possible conflicts of interest.
The Process
Anyone wanting to apply for a non-career position at the Department of Commerce should proceed as follows:
- Fill out the application form provided below and submit it electronically. You will receive a confirmation indicating that your application has been received. Your information will be kept on file for as long as the President is in office, and you will be considered for the position(s) or subject area(s) in which you have expressed an interest whenever openings occur.
- If and when you are considered for a specific position, you will be asked to fill out a Personal Data Statement for White House Liaison review. At this point you will be asked about possible conflicts of interest deriving from your sources of income; all aspects of your personal and professional life, including organizations to which you belong or once belonged; speeches you may have given and books, articles, and editorials you may have written; legal, administrative and regulatory proceedings to which you may have been a party; in short, anything that might embarrass the President or you if he should choose you for a position in his administration.
- If the Department of Commerce is further interested in your nomination, you will be asked to fill out FBI and financial disclosure forms for subsequent review and approval. To have a better understanding of the information you will be asked to provide, you can review the security clearance form for National Security Positions (SF86) and the financial disclosure form for higher level positions (SF278). You should know that most appointees are required to file financial disclosure statements annually during their service.
- If the position for which you are being considered requires Senate confirmation, the Senate committee that reviews nominations for that position may ask you to provide additional information.
You should assume that all the information you provide during any part of this process is ultimately subject to public disclosure, if requested, per the Freedom of Information Act.
This process is very demanding of the applicant, as the jobs and appointments are demanding of those selected for them. President Bush appreciates your willingness to serve and wants to make it as easy as possible for you to pursue your interest in joining the administration.
(To complete the online application your browser must support 128-bit encryption. If you have difficulties completing your online application, please check your browser capabilities.)

A noble plan to enhance housing and get the right of entry for the ones in want thru the present-day production era is gathering momentum, with a blueprint now in place for what is billed as the arena's first three-D-revealed community. Set to take form in Latin America, the cluster of houses is designed for households living on much less than US$two hundred a month. Ideally, It could be proof of ideas for low-fee housing solutions around the sector. The assignment is a joint initiative from the non-profit New Story, Yves Béhar's layout firm Fuseproject and the creation generation organization Icon to provide housing answers for people experiencing homelessness. At the SXSW pageant in Texas's ultimate year, the crew discovered an outstanding instance of how this imaginative and prescient would possibly take shape, showing off a full-sized proof of concept version of 350 square feet (32 square) domestic.
The use of three-D printing in structure has taken sizeable steps forward overdue. We've seen the generation placed to assemble workplaces, a fort, and even ten homes in 24 hours by one in a particular ambitious Chinese firm. While there will be versions in how it's far tuned to these one-of-a-kind initiatives, usually speakme, huge three-D printers for creation extrude a mortar thru the nozzle in programmed patterns, layer by layer until the basic shape of the building is formed. In this situation, a 3D printer from Icon dubbed Vulcan laid down the partitions of the version home earlier than people got here to fill inside the blanks with home windows, roofing, and different odds and ends. This evidence-of-concept home took forty-eight hours to make and cost US$10,000.
Now, armed with a successor to the original, Icon says it can print the structural factors in 24 hours with its Vulcan II printer. The printer is transportable, produces close to 0 waste, and stays functional in testing scenarios where there can be a loss of strength, water, or normal labor infrastructure. This final point is critical, as its miles hoped it could be used to construct low-value housing for remote groups. The group has now brought the completing touches to its first blueprint for a village in Latin America, to serve as housing for impoverished households. The design for this village changed into a collaborative attempt, with the farmers and palm weavers that will name it domestic taking an active component in the technique via workshops at the ground and the designers incorporating their conduct, cultures and wishes into the finished product.
"As we spoke to the network individuals, we realized that an unmarried house layout would not respond to the wishes and expectations," says Fuseproject founder Yves Béhar. "This led us to design a gadget that lets in for specific programs, climate factors, and boom for families and spaces." The homes have outdoor kitchens and huge outside areas for raising chickens and gardens. They are also designed for the nearby tropical climate in which rainfall may be on the heavy facet, with overhangs on the back and front; at the same time, a clerestory with
puncture holes rests over the living space for progressed airflow. The indoors will feature integrated kitchen and bathroom counters, seating, and cabinets, even curved walls for smooth cleaning. "This project affords some exciting questions – how to innovate with a 3-D printer to create a housing model this is replicable, constructed to remain, and built to sustain multi-generational family boom; a way to combine nearby needs, traditions, and techniques into numerous varied slicing aspect technological designs; and a way to create a structure that is simultaneously lower-priced, appealing, safe, and useful," says Béhar. "The manner has been beautifully collaborative and has caused creative answers for an adaptive layout born in partnership with the area people."

Expanding the Conveyor Belt
Chef Jeff Osaka on the growth of Sushi-Rama
Growing a business is an exciting experience – take it from someone who's in the thick of it. From searching for new markets and designing a space with your brand's unique flair, to strategizing new dishes and developing menus, it's a world of new endeavors. However, growing a restaurant from a single location to a full fleet can be a daunting task. Having a plan and knowing how to execute expansion is the key to success.
In present food culture, sushi has become as well-known as pizza, hamburgers or tacos. Of all of our brands, Sushi-Rama was the obvious choice for development – in a generation of instant gratification, having a conveyor belt-themed restaurant appealed to the masses. In addition, similar fast sushi concepts have been successfully executed in larger markets with great success including New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles.
A primary requirement of expansion is financial stability. The old adage: "It takes money to make money," is very true; though it doesn't mean that businesses don't gain capital in other ways. Finding a group of people who believe in a brand, its staying power and ability grow, can be a huge step toward growth. There is no harm is seeking out venture capital or private equity that could invest in younger companies and achieve faster expansion.
A major challenge in growing Sushi-Rama was finding skilled labor in all regions willing to commit and learn the necessary skills to make our machine-produced sushi. With so many workers moving to Colorado's marijuana industry's robust cashflow, it's grown increasingly difficult to retain employees. With the National Restaurant Association reporting 37 percent of its members struggling to keep workers, up from 15 percent the last two years, it's no wonder critics of the industry are wondering how it will continue to remain sustainable. However, by giving each team member the respect they deserve and instilling a sense of value and worth, they in turn believe they're contributing, not just to the business, but to the community. This has been key in maintaining a devoted and reliable staff.
We also make sure each new team member trains with a veteran, instills the values and expectations of the organization. Without this desire and dedication to learn the necessary skills of keeping our sushi fast, and more importantly, fresh, we wouldn't have a business at all.
Building a brand with a solid foundation, core values, concept definition, defined roles of team members and the ability to maintain a cohesive look and feel is key.
For instance, at for our Denver International Airport location, opening October 2018 without a conveyor belt, we are relying heavily on our retro-mod decor and other facets of the concept to keep the experience consistent. Inside Denver International Airport, our food is prepared in plain view and every item is time-tagged for freshness, with our commissary kitchen controlling the supply chain, just as we do at our River North, Denver Tech Center and Lone Tree locations.
Just like a recipe book for the kitchen, there should be a manual for an operation that allows everyone to adhere to standards, covering everything from design, to customer relations, to how we talk about the brand. It's incredibly important that our message of being "fast, fresh and fun," is embodied in each new location.
This may seem small, but it is extremely important to us to ensure each restaurant has the same atmosphere and guest experience. As we look to continue expansion with one to two new locations each year, we will always work to keep this ideology.
Chef Jeff Osaka is no stranger to opening restaurants. Over the past 10 years in Denver, he's opened many restaurants, including the critically-acclaimed Twelve, and currently has multiple concepts in addition to Sushi-Rama including Osaka Ramen, Tammen's Fish Market inside Denver Central Market, and 12@Madison.

From February 20 to March 4, the international expert Gerard Pinto, Associate Research Scientist, PhD from Marine Science Research Institute, Jacksonville University, provided consultancy for the newly built Aquaculture Technology Transfer Center (ATTC) – a pilot project implemented by the USAID's Advanced Science and Partnerships for Integrated Resource Development Project (ASPIRED). His visit was organized by the USAID John Ogonowski and Dough Bereuter Farmer-to-Farmer Program (F2F), marking the start of effective partnership with the ASPIRED Project.
Implemented jointly with a private fishery in Armavir, the ATTC is intended to serve as an experimental ground for testing, validating and demonstrating various aquaculture technologies and methods at smaller scale to be captured and utilized by other fisheries once being successful. The methods include water recirculation, airlifting, biological treatment of water, biofiltration, aquaponics, etc. In addition to producing sturgeon, the farmer also plans breeding Australian crayfish – a popular species among the aquaculture farms in different countries.
With his specific expertise in rearing of Australian crayfish, Gerard Pinto worked with the fish-farmer and ASPIRED specialists to recommend best practices and low-cost solutions that will help to improve the efficiency of existing technical facilities and ensure the sustainability of the farm. He also enriched the Crayfish Farming Manual based on his own practical experience in aquaculture, which was initially developed by the Birthright Armenia Volunteer for ASPIRED Project, Talene Baghdassarian. ASPIRED Project will share the Manual with the ATTC farmer and other interested fisheries. Gerard Pinto, who completed his first volunteer assignment in Armenia, remarked that ATTC would make an excellent venue for research purposes and testing of various aquaculture technologies.
Cooperation between different USAID projects produces added value for the projects and their beneficiaries. ASPIRED Project seeks collaborative opportunities with various organizations and donor-funded projects that allows bringing additional resources and expertise to the project.

For Mihnea Raducan, Product Manager for the PAX-Android platform, this was his first experience with P2PE certification.
"I started six months ago as Product Manager, and P2PE compliant payment application was chosen to secure a future proof solution. Foregenix was recommended as the QSA company to hire for this project."
On top of a P2PE certification, Swedbank Pay also required penetration testing on their new service. Mihnea contacted us shortly after taking over responsibilities, and both our teams were quick to exchange ideas, requirements, and to build an action plan.
Foregenix has been working closely with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) shortly after its inception in 2004. Thanks to this, we were the first assessor in the world to be accredited by the PCI SSC to assess payment applications against its Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) standards, developing a methodology which aims to help our clients achieve PCI Compliance quickly and efficiently.
"The process with Foregenix has been a lot easier than I expected, you always have the idea that P2PE is complex and takes a long time, but, from my experience, it has been smooth, and it helped a lot having knowledgeable people on your team. They've done a wonderful job with requirements, documentation and validation for penetration testing and the whole P2PE approval process."
Mihnea was very happy with the clear communication between both teams, and noticed, early on, a visible improvement to productivity.
"Foregenix has made us keep the time-plan as expected and the cost to provide the product on time. From my perspective Foregenix was the right choice to work with, since they have the experience, from previous project performed for other companies they're worked with, and the results show this."
Happy with our certification process, he noted that Swedbank Pay would like to work together with Foregenix on future projects for the PAX-Android platform.

Coventry and Warwickshire residents looking to get fit could do a lot worse than apply for the Total Warrior.
There are dozens of great events which allow you to break a sweat, raise money for charity, make friends and enjoy yourselves.
You will feel great about completing one of these courses and challenges, as they give you the perfect self-esteem boost in 2018.
But there are perhaps none tougher - or more rewarding - than the Total Warrior, which is coming to Oxfordshire.
The event, held within one hour of Coventry at Great Tew, is set to be a mammoth slog full of obstacles.
The Great Tew Estate encapsulates exactly what a Total Warrior venue should be.
Expect hills, woods, mud and amazing views as you battle fire, ice and 25 punishing obstacles around our 10K course.
The concept is simple: run as many 10km laps as you can in five hours.
Reckon you can manage it?
The course will have two check points, one at the start/finish line and one at the half way point.
So you can complete half and full laps.
The winner is the participant who completed the most number of complete or half laps in the fastest possible time.
But that is just a small part of the challenge.
The real challenge is how many laps you can do.
One lap is usually the limit for most people, how many do you think you can do?
Entry fee includes goodies, a headband, a victory beer and finisher's T-shirt.
It will be held at Tew Park, Oxfordshire, OX7 4AF.
You can get directions via google maps – click Get Directions then add your postcode and the venue postcode.

I never want to leave Denmark. As some of my friends who only did session 1 left, I've had some time to reflect on my journey so far. I have a lot to say in this one so bear with me!!
Since my last blog post, I have done SO much. In our final days of classes we got to eat at Amass, where we met famous chef Matt Orlando and heard about Matt's journey with Amass and their impeccable sustainability practices. I think that meal was the best I had ever eaten (and maybe ever will eat). We also visited and tried some samples at Empirical, a distillery started by Lars Williams who used to work at Noma. All of the flavors we experienced were so unique and left me speechless. It was also fascinating how these restaurants were so committed to sustainability and centered their whole restaurant and mission statements around sustainability. It showed me how passionate they were about taking care of Denmark's people as well as the earth! After learning about sustainability and seeing these examples, I've noticed even more how all of CPH focuses so heavily on sustainability.
Later in the week I was also able to see some of my FAMILY!!! As I mentioned in an earlier post, all of my mom's side of the family lives in Denmark. I hated not being able to see them sooner, but I got caught up with school and trying to figure out the city and I haven't been able to yet! I got dinner with my mom's cousin and her daughter. Although I hadn't seen them in 3 years, it was like no time had passed at all. They met me with wide open arms into their home and it was so exciting to get to see them as well as their home. They lent me an extra bike (yay!!!) and took me to one of their favorite restaurants, Mad & Kaffe. I loved talking to them about my experiences in Copenhagen so far and catching up with them. I cannot wait to see them again soon! I have many more family members to see in the rest of my time here, and I am so interested to hear about their favorite places in CPH and get more recommendations. Having family here makes me so happy. I feel connected to the city even more, spending time with them and learning how to navigate the city.
Since we are in between sessions, some of my friends and I decided to go on a weekend trip to Møns Klint. We got an airbnb and rented a car and we were on our way! It was such a fun weekend and the views were AMAZING. It was so fun to get out of Copenhagen and see other parts of Denmark. We can't leave Denmark due to restrictions, but why would we need to when we have SO much to do here?! Some of my friends and I went kayaking randomly one afternoon – we can do anything we want here!
Day by day, Copenhagen seems to feel more like home. I've started to do small things for myself that help me step back from my seemingly "busy every second" lifestyle. These small things can be ANYTHING. Recently, I've been cooking for myself every night. It is so tempting to eat out every night in a city such as Copenhagen, but cooking for myself saves money and makes me feel good.
I have also been having to force myself to drink way more water than I did in the U.S. Walking everywhere and being out in the sun everyday dehydrates you! It has never been more important for me to drink water all the time. It doesn't always seem like it in the present, but drinking water helped my mental and physical health immensely.
The number one thing I have learned so far while being here that has really helped me is making coffee at home. I am the type of person to always start my day with a coffee. When I don't make it at home, I am always tempted to (and almost always) buy one from a cute coffee shop just down the street from DIS. While this always cheers me up, I always regret spending money on coffee that I could have made at home. These small things I started doing have helped this city feel less intimidating than it did 3 weeks ago.
While I am starting to figure out the city a bit more, I still have lots of learning to do. I started biking today (eep) and clearly need a lot more practice. It can still be a little scary being in a foreign city, but we can do hard things!!
Our session 2 classes start tomorrow and I am sad to say goodbye to my last class, but can't wait to meet new classmates and go on a Study Tour soon! I am taking Sustainable Development in Northern Europe and I am intrigued to see similarities and differences in my last class and this one. We also get to go on a week long Study Tour next week. I will definitely keep the blog updated on that one as well as my biking adventures!!!

The Entrepreneurs Guide to Navigating BIO ConventionPosted on SDEE News by Danielle Hayes · May 31, 2017 8:41 AM

In chatting with my colleagues and clients in the life science community, many are unsure of whether the upcoming BIO meeting is a good fit for entrepreneurs.

Themes and Meanings
Last Updated on May 7, 2015, by eNotes Editorial. Word Count: 381
Pavese's novels are thematically rich. Writing was a serious enterprise for him. He used fiction to explore the contradictions individuals confront in reconciling their needs with their social relations and responsibilities. Among Women Only scathingly indicts Italy's upper class. The shallow, futile nature of their lives has made them vulnerable to Fascism. They escaped the wartime devastation by retiring with their servants to mountain villas and seaside resorts, and Clelia joins them as they return to their urban haunts. Their empty lives are the product of a society without healthy core values, one incapable of providing its members with meaningful work or a productive social and political role.
Through Clelia, Pavese examines work and solitude, two of his own obsessions, finding them necessary and fulfilling but not fully adequate for a healthy life. Deprived of productive labor and frightened of solitude, Turin's fashionable set restlessly searches for diversion to combat boredom and avoid self-knowledge. People who do not work rot away, Pavese wrote in a letter to a friend. Momina and her friends go slumming for entertainment, viewing poor neighborhoods only as stage sets "got up" for their amusement. They regard art and music as important merely for the social occasion they provide. Even Rosetta's suicide attempt is important mainly because it provides a moment of drama and an endless opportunity for gossip. She arranges her death room like a stage set, a fitting end to a life of role-playing.
Pavese believed that Italy had to overcome its misogynistic traditions in order to achieve progress. He avoided stereotyping his female characters. Pavese did not regard women's lives as being emptier than those of men. He described class distress rather than a gender problem. If Clelia has not built an authentic, fulfilling life, it is not because she has abandoned the traditional role of wife and mother. Rather, it is because her society provides none of its members, men or women, with a productive role. Momina suggests that only by having children can women really become fully alive. Yet even this role does not provide fulfillment. Clelia's childhood friend, Gisella, remained in the old neighborhood to fulfill the traditional role of mother; rather than gaining life, however, she seems utterly drained, existing only through her daughters.

Horseshoe Bend of Colorado River near Page, Arizona
Horseshoe Bend is the name for a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River located near Page, Arizona.
It is located five miles (8.5 km) downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, about four miles (six km) southwest of Page.
Horseshoe Bend can be viewed from the steep cliff above.
The overlook is 4,200 [1,300 m] feet above sea level and the Colorado River is at 3,200 feet [980 m] above sea level making it a breathtaking 1,000 foot drop [300 m].
It is a short ¾ of a mile hike from US Route 89. (Quote: Visit Arizona, [bracketed metric dimensions] added )
There are hundreds of photos of the Bend - most are taken from the trail overlook near the center of the Bend. They are all similar other than some are at various times of the day, others and in different seasons. Many are panoramic views like the banner photo that provide a more-or-less distorted view of the Bend, spreading the area around the Colorado and turning the steep cliffs into slopes.
We have chosen four photos: a brilliant sunset photo that, like the banner and its original panorama, significantly distorts the geolory, a mid-day photo that accurately displays the geolory, an aerial photo that displays the Colorado as it cuts deeply into the unbroken Colorado Pleateau with Marble Canyon and the Vermillion Cliffs in the distant background, and the panorama from which the banner was cut. The map has been cut from NPS' Glen Canyon National Recreation Area map with a lot of interesting stuff on it.
Significant increases in the number of visitors has caused congestion in the area sometimes causing temporary closing access to the site.
The NPS recently constructed safety rails and a viewing platform (2018). The city of Page is charging a $10 per car parking fee (2019).

I bought this bra because I thought it would be a smooth fit under everyday clothes- it's perfect for this! Practically seamless, it is invisible under even a thin sweater. I came back and bought a 2nd one a size smaller to wear as a swim top because it looks so good! Thanks, FMFM!!

Mihaela Precup & Dragos Manea - Empathy, Fantasy and the Framing of the Perpetrator in Nina Bunjevac's Bezimena
conference contributionposted on 2020-06-29, 15:42 authored by Dragoș Manea, Mihaela Precup

Serbian-Canadian cartoonist Nina Bunjevac's third book, Bezimena (2018), zeroes in on the perspective of a perpetrator of child sexual abuse and murder while taking on the logic of fantasy and relying on well-circulated classical myths in order to frame a narrative of sexual violence, seemingly outside the traditional confines of history and biography. In this paper, we are particularly interested in the role of empathy for the perpetrator that the graphic narrative might generate, and how an ethics of empathy might shape both our experience of the work itself and our larger moral and political (re-)actions.
In conversation with scholars who expand the narrow category of "perpetrator" (Michael Rothberg, Scott Strauss), we attempt to give answers to questions such as: How can graphic narratives contribute to a more nuanced understanding of perpetration, particularly in the case of sexual assault? How do they contribute to the representation of perpetration, particularly when the depiction of perpetrators is mixed with elements of fantasy? What is the benefit of producing an ethics of empathy, wherein the perpetrator is both humanized and even made to appear sympathetic? How can we consider the gendered dimension of perpetration without simply reiterating a critique—however valid—of traditional masculinity and femininity?

Florets of cauliflower, deep fried and tossed with house special sauce
- Contains Many Nutrients. The nutrition profile of cauliflower is quite impressive.
- High in Fiber.
- Good Source of Antioxidants.
- May Aid in Weight Loss.
- High in Choline.
- Rich in Sulforaphane.
- Low-Carb Alternative to Grains and Legumes.
- Easy to Add to Your Diet.
Cauliflower is considered a superfood because of its nutrient-rich content. It is high in fiber, and vitamins B and C. It also contains high concentrations of carotenoids (antioxidants) and glucosinolates. Although both of these compounds have anti-cancer effects, the glucosinolates have generated the most interest.
Cauliflower may have cancer-fighting power and packs a noteworthy nutrition punch with 1 cup of fresh cauliflower being an excellent source of vitamins C and K and a good source of fiber, folate, and vitamin B6.
There are lots of foods than can boost skin health! The sulforaphane in cauliflower may actually protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation damage and skin cancer.
It is also an excellent source of Vitamin C! ONE cup of cooked cauliflower will provide you with almost all the Vitamin C you need in a day (92% to be exact).

For most students, extracurriculars take place on Bowdoin's campus. Trevor Kenkel '18, however, can be found in Lisbon, Maine, in between classes operating his own farm.
Kenkel is the chairman and founder of Springworks Farm, an aquaponics farm in Lisbon, ME that is about 30 minutes from campus.
From a young age, Kenkel became interested in sustainable agriculture. When a local creek in his hometown of Kalispell, Montana, experienced a huge loss in biodiversity due to human agricultural activity upstream, Kenkel was fascinated.
"I made this rough connection as a kid that agriculture could significantly change the ecosystems around me," said Kenkel.
Looking for more sustainable ways to farm, he started a small organic garden in his hometown. However, given Montana's short growing season, Kenkel was only able to produce his own food for a small portion of the year, and he wanted to expand.
After reading about aquaponics online, he built his first aquaponics system with money from his summer job.
"My parents thought I was crazy," said Kenkel.
In aquaponics, fish are housed in recirculating tanks that produce the fertilizer that the plants need. The plants then use that fertilizer to grow, which keeps the water clean for the fish.
"We take both of those waste streams and combine them in a relationship that ends up making the process better. We use about 90% less water, ten times less space—and that doesn't include the fact that we are able to operate year round."
From there, he continued to expand upon his first system with financial assistance from his family. Soon, he had enough produce to feed his family and neighbors with plenty to spare. Afterwards, Kenkel began to sell to local restaurants.
"I had seen the potential of a business in it before that, but it was really nice to go out and start to prove that business model," Kenkel said. "That's when I started developing what is today Springworks. I began creating a business plan and pitching to investors the idea and receiving the funding and locating ourselves in Maine."
Kenkel was originally recruited by Bowdoin to play football, which established his connection to Maine. After seeing the food scene in Portland, he knew that Maine would be a suitable location for the farm, and it would also allow him to live nearby during his time in college.
"We felt like Maine was so well-prepared for this kind of business because they care about their food so much," said Kenkel.
Springworks purchased its land in Lisbon in the spring of 2014. Kenkel spent his first year at Bowdoin building the system and working on the interior components. Springworks harvested its first crops in July of this year.
Many local restaurants have expressed interest in working with Springworks. Kenkel is currently selling to over 18 local establishments, including Gelato Fiasco, Wild Oats Bakery and Café and Frontier Café.
"Wild Oats has been a great customer for us," said Kenkel. "We sell a couple of different varieties of lettuce, basil, mizuna, things of that nature."
"We went out for a tour of their facility, and I was really impressed with their product," said Becky Shepherd, owner of Wild Oats. "It's clearly very fresh and clean, and I thought that it was a wonderful concept."
Springworks is the first farm that Wild Oats has worked with that can produce year round, which has given Wild Oats the ability to continue to buy locally outside of season.
"We usually get two to three deliveries a week from them, and they're super responsive to anything that we need or any feedback we have for them—they're always looking for ways that they can improve," said Shepherd.
Recently, Bowdoin Dining has shown interest in getting involved in Kenkel's work. Although nothing is formally set in place for Bowdoin becoming a long-term customer, Kenkel is excited to see where the relationship goes.
"I have been talking to [Bowdoin Dining] pretty extensively. They're really excited about it," Kenkel said. "They plan on using Springworks' greens for the president's inaugural dinner."
Aside from the commercial side of his business, Kenkel has made it a priority to educate the community on sustainable agriculture through the use of "Microfarms" that people can purchase for use in their own homes.
"It takes what we do on the large scale and squeezes it down to the size of a ten-gallon aquarium," Kenkel said "We're excited to use it as an educational tool."
Kenkel is also working with local teachers at Morse High School in Bath, ME to help design their AP Biology curriculum to incorporate more education about sustainable agriculture. Students can visit the farm and learn about aquaponics through MicroFarms.
Like many other Bowdoin students, Kenkel also has to manage a heavy workload.
"I think a lot of Bowdoin students have extracurriculars that they spend a lot of time on, and if you schedule yourself properly, there's a lot of time during the day that can be used to work on projects like this," Kenkel said.

mission_template.zip —
Fellow modder Chessmess brings us a tutorial for creating simple 'versus missions', the type whereby you win if you destroy all the enemy ships. Included within this template is the following:
The files included are annotated in simple terms so that even a newbie scripter could get to grips with this in no-time at all. It's worth having a play around with, even if you only create one but be sure to send your missions to us here at Legacy Files! Please note that you require the Legacy mission editor tool to use the template.
Big thanks to Chessmess!
---------------------------------------------- Vs. Mission Template ---------------------------------------------- Nickname: ChessMess Homepage: http://startrek-games.com/ ---------------------------------------------- "Now marks the time in which many here in the United States dress up in costumes and either attend parties or travel the streets in search of Candy. I know I'll have a full schedule taking my daughters around to friends and family to collect loads of candy for me.. I mean for them to feast on. I couldn't forget our faithful group here so I offer the Star Trek Legacy modding community a special treat. Attached to this news posting is the first release of a Star Trek Legacy Vs. Mission template. I wrote the template to enable mappers and new to legacy scripters a way to easily get a working mission without having to know anything about programming. Its a simple script but provides the following features: * A fully working Vs. scenario, where you win if you destroy all the enemy ships and lose if you are destroyed. * Ability to add an allied fleet to help the player. * Ability to enable Allied Fleet to follow a ship that hails it. * Simple Cinematic, a default cinematic you can enable for your mission * Easily define enemy and allied fleet tactical stance. * Easily define enamy and allied fleet visibility to sensors. All the instructions on what to do are documented as a to-do list in the header section of the script file. Configuring the script requires no programming experience or knowledge, simply edit the configuration variables, put the required objects on your Legacy map, compile the mission and your done! It is my hope that in creating this mappers can easily create custom Vs. scenarios and mod groups can use it as is or build upon it. I'm happy to build upon it and add additional functionality if anyone wants it and it fits with the Vs. scenario. Just post the request here, I'll review it, and if it fits and time allows I'll add it to the base template. I'll update the script in this post with changes. Enjoy! Special thanks goes to gdata for being both the scripts inspiration and its tireless tester! Thanks!!" -ChessMess Link to news post: http://startrek-games.com/startrekforum/showthread.php?t=10050 To build this mission you need this tool: http://legacy.filefront.com/file/Legacy_Mission_Editor_Tool;82418 Credits: Script: ChessMess Beta Testing: gdata Legal: This material is not made or supported by Bethesda or MAD DOC Software.

These flowers, she had nurtured for months, looked sullen today. Droplets had crystallized underneath the white petals. She shook them off, letting it splatter on the icy ground. Maybe that would unfreeze her heart too. If only it could!!
The snow didn't bother her as she walked towards the awaiting cab.
He kept staring at the road, long after the cab had pulled away. Little Timmy slowly crept under his drooping shoulder.
"Will Mommy live with Grandma now?"
He looked down, into innocent eyes.
"No son, she went to live her dreams"
This was going to be a hard winter.
