MBCCI to appeal DOLE circular
on filing of wage hike exemption
Members of the Metro Bacolod Chamber of Commerce and Industry will appeal the memorandum circular of the Department of Labor and Employment in Region 6, asking businessmen affected by super typhoon "Yolanda" to file for six-month exemption from the P10 wage hike.
DOLE officials, led by Director Ponciano Ligutom, should themselves identify the towns and the cities badly affected by the typhoon instead of the businessmen applying for exemption, MBCCI President Frank Carbon said.
He said businessmen, especially in northern Negros Occidental, already incurred losses, and DOLE should not give them a hard time by asking them to apply for exemption.
Army offers medical
aid to injured NPAs
The Army's 303rd Infantry Brigade yesterday offered medical treatment to members of the New People's Army reported to have been injured, when they harassed a temporary military outpost on Feb. 17 in Sitio Aniya, Brgy. Winaswasan, Calatrava, Negros Occidental.
Col. Jon Aying, 303rd Infantry Brigade commander, said many of the rebels, who were previously injured in encounter with government forces, had died due to inadequate medical treatment.
One of the rebels who had participated in the harassment of 62nd Infantry Battalion Bayanihan Team Monday last week, was killed during a brief firefight, Aying said.

Two years ago, Melanie made the quilt below for a blog project that I especially liked called Oh My Stars. I want to offer it for someone to purchase. The quilt dimensions are 59″x60″ (1.50m x 1.52m). A deserving charitable organization in our community will receive the money. I've never done this kind of thing before. We learn by doing.
The basic plan is for interested persons to (1) explain why they want the quilt, (2) make a monetary offer, and (3) choose one of the six organizations below as the recipient of their offer.
Offers are to be made in private using my email address provided below. Only offers submitted using that email will be considered.
Only offers from the U.S. will be considered due to shipping cost constraints.
The winner will be asked to write a check to the charitable organization they choose, not to me. Those details will be worked out after the selection of the winning offer.
Submission deadline is midnight 1 February 2016. I will review the offers and decide who wins. My choice will depend on the explanation by the person as well as the amount of their offer. No doubt, this could turn into a difficult decision. I hope that is actually the case.
Submit offer, explanation, and choice to: Offer has expired. A winner was chosen.

Tough choices
Still not a word from Charles Kennedy in defence of the right to freedom of expression, in the light of the recent Jerry Springer and Behzti cases.
However, today he has announced that the Liberal Democrats would scrap the government's new child trust funds and use the money to cut class sizes.
This is a populist gesture unlikely, in itself, to improve the quality of education. A study published only last week challenged conventional wisdom by showing that smaller class sizes do not produce better results from children at primary school. A report of this study in the Times (6 January) noted:
Levels of literacy among children aged 11 in classes of fewer than 25 pupils were lower than those who were in groups of more than 30 children.
A report in the Scotsman (6 January) added that
Academics at London University's Institute of Education, who carried out the research, also concluded: "No evidence was found that children in smaller classes made more progress in mathematics, English or science."
Family poverty had the biggest effect on results. Children who were eligible for free school meals fell further behind in English and maths as they progressed through school.
... teachers who took part in the survey insisted that their job was made much easier if class sizes were smaller.At Liberator's fringe meeting at last September's Liberal Democrat conference, David Boyle queried the obsession with class size and asked why we did not instead question the size of schools.
The answers can be found in the survey results. First, the greatest determinant of educational success is parental wealth, and few politicians have the balls to confront the issue of poverty.
And second, the main pressure for smaller class sizes is coming from the teaching lobby.
Despite this, Charles Kennedy insists his class size policy is one of the "tough choices" that are needed when it comes to allocating government funds.
"Tough choices mean looking carefully at the money being spent on our children and choosing to spend it more effectively, rather than wasting it."Really?
It remains significant that the Liberal Democrats shy away from discussing the twin scandals of poverty and public school privilege.
Still, mustn't offend the Daily Mail!

Johannesburg - A new musical that starts with promise splutters into a scrambled mess as it rambles across continents, losing its narrative along the way, and turning lead characters into bit players and jumbling its incoherent storylines.
At more than three hours with an interval, Calling Me Home is aptly named – after the first half, I was ready to go home, which is a shame as it squanders its potential.
The show has an impressive cast of women at its foundation: Lynelle Kenned, who most recently blew audiences away as Maria in West Side Story, is Grace; Zolani Mahola from Freshlyground is Lindiwe; and experienced musical theatre lead Samantha Peo is Isabella.
The story begins as Grace leaves her home in Africa to travel to the US, while her brother Nelson (the wonderfully talented Musanete Sakupwanya) goes to war. On the train, Grace meets Lindiwe, who has escaped an abusive marriage. So far, not too bad. There are two catchy numbers – Tomorrow and Fly With the Sun – that give Kenned and Mahola a chance to show off their incredible voices.
As Grace and Lindiwe climb off the boat in America, the foundation of Calling Me Home begins to crumble – a bizarre scene on the docks with a chorus of prostitutes is followed by an equally unnecessary scene with construction workers that should have set the scene for the arrival of Grace's love interest, Rafael (Anthony Downing), but is instead incoherent and confusing.
Peo makes her entrance in the next scene, singing another of the musical's few memorable songs, Handfuls of Dragonflies. Unfortunately, she has little to work with in terms of character, and ends up overdoing her lurch into drugs and desperation. It all feels a bit melodramatic.
Thrown into the mix is the local Russian – I think – gangster Ivan (Christiaan Snyman) and his shiny-suit-wearing sidekick Vladimir (Pierre van Heerden). Then there's Ben (Michael McMeeking), who is in love with Isabella. Meanwhile, Lindiwe has all but vanished from the story line having – I think – fallen for Grace's cousin.
There's a scene in the first act during which Grace sings to Rafael the story of a great love affair, called Trail of Stars. The song and story are refreshingly coherent and I thought this was the hook for how love would win in the end. But it's just a brief moment of clarity in the mash-up that is Calling Me Home. The next scene in a fish factory returns to the chaos.
After a 90-minute first act, the audience was expecting a shorter second half – which is customary – where all the bits left dangling in the first half are gathered up and arranged in neat happy endings.
It was not to be – there were another 90 minutes that appeared to be entirely unrelated to the first half.
Suddenly, there were West Side Story-esque battles between Rafael's construction workers and Ivan's gangsters, a murder, a hospital scene and a jail scene as Calling Me Home staggers painfully slowly to its unsatisfying ending, which, although, very welcome, arrives abruptly.
The creative team has done a good job with the sets, the animation and the wardrobe, which are highlights in an otherwise bewilderingly surreal night out. However, the choreography is, at best, ordinary.
This musical composed and produced by Alice Gillham and directed by Magdalene Minnaar (who makes her directorial debut) needs a ruthless editor and an experienced director to chop out the vanity scenes, to scrap superfluous characters and to rebuild the foundation. It also needs an intervention to lighten up the score and libretto.
Ticket information for Calling Me Home:
Calling Me Home runs at the Joburg Theatre until September 3. Tickets cost R135 to R370 and can be purchased from the theatre's website.
Production details and rating:
Director: Magdalene Minnaar
Starring: Zolani Mahola, Samantha Peo and Lynelle Kenned.

Clarifying the Strategic Advantage of Familiness: Unbundling its Dimensions and Highlighting its Paradoxes
Peer-Reviewed Academic Journal
Journal of Family Business Strategy
Using a resource-based theoretical lens we clarify familiness by identifying the dimensions of this unique family business resource in multigenerational family firms. Using data from four in-depth case studies, we provide evidence that familiness is comprised of human resources (reputation and experience), organisational resources (decision-making and learning), and process resources (relationships and networks). Furthermore, we demonstrate how these resource dimensions are paradoxical in nature in that each influences the family firm in both positive and negative ways. These dimensions and their nature (positive/negative) thus not only help clarify a firm's familiness but also move the construct from a conceptual notion into a more operationalised form.

- Description
Product DescriptionCondition:
The L-ACOUSTICS® SB118 is a companion subwoofer for the L-ACOUSTICS MTD and XT loudspeaker lines.
With power handling capacity of 600 Wrms (2400 Wpeak) and response to 32 Hz, the SB118 is the answer for applications requiring exceptional low end impact from a highly compact, low profile enclosure. Important design criteria in the development of the SB118 were maximum SPL output combined with extended low frequency response from an enclosure as compact as possible. Dual- chamber vented, bandpass loading provided the answer.
The 18″ component employed in the SB118 features high power handling capacity combined with low distortion and thermal power compression, all of which contribute to the output SPL performance while at the same time providing precise bass definition and excellent musicality. Due to its highly compact format with minimum front baffle dimensions and critically damped tuning, multiple SB118 enclosures couple effectively both physically and acoustically to provide optimum low end impact.
Designed for high performance touring, the optimally-reduced front dimensions of the SB118 allow for the creation of compact-sized subwoofer arrays. The SB118 is highly suitable for front-of-house (FOH) use in theatres, clubs or multi-purpose venues and provides an excellent solution for corporate events. As standard, the SB118 includes a built-in pole mount socket that facilitates the creation of a compact FOH system when used with MTD or XT enclosures. When combined with the 115FM floor monitor or MTD/XT enclosures, the SB118 is ideal for stage monitoring applications such as keyboard, side fill or drum fill monitoring due to its discrete, visually unobtrusive profile.
For permanent installation, the compact dimensions of the SB118 provide a high degree of flexibility when space is at a premium.
For use of the SB118 with the MTD line, subwoofer signal processing is provided by L-ACOUSTICS LLC analog controllers. Alternatively, OEM factory presets for approved digital
processors are available for use of the SB118 with the L-ACOUSTICS XT line.

Avid Technology has announced plans for a pan-European tour between May and October 2002 – 'Experience Avid|naked'.
The tour's a central part of the company's revised marketing strategy. It consists of a series of two- or three-day events tailored for each local market's needs.
Avid plans to offer seminars, discussions, hands-on training sessions, plus a chance to take a look at its product range. The company will introduce new products this year, aimed at the high-end broadcasting, new media, and entry-level consumer markets.
"We chose the 'Experience Avid|naked' theme to reflect our 'no-nonsense' communication strategy," said Graham Sharp, VP of European sales and operations. "Our aim is to show customers that we really are an open and responsive organisation ready to discuss and tackle head-on any issues they may have."
He continued: "I look at Apple, with Final Cut Pro, and Adobe, with Premiere, and think, 'I want a piece of that market'." It's a challenge, Sharp explained: "Avid's turnover is exceeded by Apple's marketing spend".
New products possible at NAB Avid is expected to roll out hardware and software products designed to penetrate this market at NAB 2002. It's likely the company will leverage its existing Express DV products, developing marketing strategies to bring them into different areas – consumer, new media and entry-level markets, said Sharp.
Such products will eventually support Mac OS X (and Windows XP), and offer a range of video-editing and composition features with a Media Composer-like front-end.
Potential tour attendees will be able to register for the event on Avid's Web site, though this page is not yet active. The first event takes place May 14 in Berlin, Germany. A UK event is scheduled for the week commencing June 24.

Rhinoplasty: Achieving Balance and Beauty - Functional and reconstructive
Reconstructive rhinoplasty refers to restoring the normal shape and function of the nose following damage from a traumatic accident, autoimmune disorder, intra-nasal drug abuse, previous injudicious cosmetic surgery, cancer involvement, or congenital abnormality. Rhinoplasty can restore skin coverage, recreate normal contours, and re-establish nasal airflow. To improve nasal breathing function, a septoplasty may also be performed.
Rhinoplasty may be sought in the aftermath of traumatic deformity. Traumatic accidents are the most common cause of nasal deformity. Typically, the nasal bones are broken and displaced. Occasionally, the nasal cartilages are disrupted or displaced, and in the worst cases, the nasal dorsum is collapsed. Rhinoplasty allows shaving of the displaced bony humps, and re-alignment of the nasal bones after they are cut. When cartilage is disrupted, stitching of the cartilage for re-suspension, or use of cartilage grafts to camouflage depressions allows re-establishment of normal nasal contour. When the dorsum is collapsed, grafts of rib cartilage, ear cartilage, or cranial bone can be used to restore continuity to the dorsum. Although synthetic implants are also available for augmenting the nasal dorsum, cartilage or bone graft from the patient's own body poses fewer risks of infection or rejection.
Rhinoplasty to correct nasal obstruction following injudicious cosmetic surgery is common. After a normal period of wait from 6 to 9 months, the patient notices that the airflow still is difficult in one or both sides. Reconstructive rhinoplasty after aggressive cosmetic surgery allows the restoration of normal breathing. When nasal cartilages are over-aggressively trimmed during rhinoplasty, the nose can appear pinched and nasal patency compromised. Patients complain of nasal blockage that is worsened by attempts at deep inspiration. Internal cartilage grafts to support the nasal tip (batton grafts) or widen the middle vault of the nose (spreader grafts) can be quite effective in restoring normal breathing. These grafting techniques will increase the size of the nasal tip and widen the dorsum.

Venerable Sergius the Abbot of Nurma and Disciple of the Venerable Sergius of Radonezh, Vologda
Saint Sergius of Nurma was originally from Greece, and traveled from Mt. Athos in order to converse with Saint Sergius of Radonezh (September 25) and to ask his advice on spiritual matters, even though he himself was already an experienced Elder.
After spending some time with the great man, Saint Sergius went to the Vologda region near the river Nurma, a tributary of the river Obnora in order to live in solitude. Soon, monks and laymen came to join him, attracted by the holiness of his life. In time, about forty ascetics joined Saint Sergius in the wilderness. He established a monastery and built a church dedicated to the Transfiguration of the Lord.
One day, Saint Sergius encountered Saint Paul of Obnora (January 10) near his monastery, feeding birds from his hands. All creatures obeyed Saint Paul, just as they obeyed Adam in Paradise.
The two saints became very close and counseled one another in their spiritual endeavors. Saint Paul had Saint Sergius, who had been ordained to the holy priesthood on Mt. Athos, as his spiritual Father. Saint Paul would confess his thoughts to Sergius, and also received Holy Communion from him. When Saint Sergius would leave for his own home three miles away, Saint Paul walked with him two thirds of the way. A chapel was later built on the spot where the two saints parted.
Saint Paul told Saint Sergius that he heard church bells ringing one night while he was in the forest by the river Nurma, and that he had also seen a bright light. Saint Sergius predicted that a monastery would be founded there one day. He urged Saint Paul to build a church dedicated to the Holy Trinity.
Saint Sergius was twice attacked by bands of thieves. The first time they almost beat him to death. The second time they were driven off by the power of his prayers.
Saint Sergius fell asleep in the Lord on October 7, 1412 at an advanced age.

I'm genetically programmed… to program.
Hello, everybody. My name is Zulaxia and I'm addicted to programming.
I've been hooked on programming languages since the age of seven when I got my first computer. While other kids were playing games, I was writing them. On my BBC Micro, on an Amstrad CPC and on the legendary Amiga 500.
I wrote text and graphical adventure games before graduating to turn based strategy. Then I grew up, and studied Cybernetics and Computer Science at University.
And all the time I was thinking of applications and gaming concepts.
The arrival of mobile devices as the primary computing experience has been the dawn of a new era for me and the reason I founded Random Icon. Since 2008 I've been concentrating on Android, creating apps that make gaming even more fun, mainly in the RPG genre.
The Rift Soul Builder was the first one, and others have followed. I put everything I've got into my apps. Even when cooking for my kids I'm mulling over concepts and hoping for that Eureka moment. (Don't worry, they understand).
I like to think that's why people generally give such good reviews for my apps. More goes into them, so they get more out – whether on a phone, tablet or somewhere in between.
So there you have it: a tiny glimpse into the state of mind of a dedicated (obsessive) developer. If you'd like to get in touch – with suggestions, observations, questions or just to chat – I'd love to hear from you via any of the usual channels below.
Good gaming,

text: I am interested in opinions of those who have purchased Austin Wasserman's either Softball or Baseball Strength Training Manual. Is there a significant emphasis on free weights? Also, did you find significant strength and agility results over the course of utilizing the program from your athlete's beginning point? Are you implementing the program from a home gym or are you going to another facility to utilize a broader range of equipment that is needed?

Yesterday Samsung warned of a steep decline in profits for Q3 2014. Some of that is believed to be due to increased competition on the low-end from Huawai, Xiaomi, and other manufacturers. Consider this, however — prior to September 2014, Apple had 0% of the over 4-inch phone market. Now they've launched the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus and have sold into the tens of millions by now. Whatever share of the over 4-inch phone market Apple has next quarter, and next year, it will be significantly higher than zero. Here's what Samsung had to say, via Android Central:
Samsung says that it expects to make 4.1 trillion won, or $3.8 billion, in operating profit for the quarter ended September 30, roughly a 60 percent decline from the same quarter a year ago of 10.2 trillion. Similarly, sales were also down, coming in at 47 trillion won, or 20 percent less than a year ago.
Apple also has 0% share of the under $400 phone market, so they're mostly immune to competitors in the budget space. People who want and buy iPhones don't typically consider price to be the most important feature. Apple has significant share of the lucrative over $600 phone market. What share Samsung had was likely heavily waited towards big and bigger phones.
The presumed Galaxy S6 likely won't debut until next spring. However, Samsung is about to launch their Galaxy Note 4. Last year when they launched the Galaxy Note 3, there was no equivalent iPhone in the same size class for them to compete against. This year there's the iPhone 6 Plus.
That's very likely a freight train no amount of attack ads can mitigate.
So, what's left, is a question only the next set of quarterly earning reports can answer — As much as Huawei, Xiaomi, and others will further sap profits from the low and middle end, how many people are going to bolt or (blot back) to Apple, and how much is that going to take from the high-margin high end?

Spring 2017 Fashion Trends
Spring is apparently here, although in Canada it still feels like Winter. Here's a quick round-up of some of the fashion trends you will see for Spring 2017 so you can indulge!
Pink - "particularly of the fuchsia variety - flooded the catwalk at shows such as Celine, Valentino, Topshop Unique and Balenciaga. Whether you choose to layer lots of different hues over your separates like at Valentino, or colour block by wearing coats over statement dresses like at Topshop, you won't go wrong as long as it's pink, pink, pink." Cosmopolitan.
Sleeves - Another trend that is taking some time to filter off the catwalk, the detailed sleeve that we'll be embracing during Spring 2017. Think ruffles, flutes, cropped, bunched, oversized - according to Marques' Almeida, Balmain and more, anything goes.
Stripes - Who doesn't love stripes? Fashion's favorite print is timeless and totally wearable. This year, get ready to see stripes in all sizes and colors on everything from chunky sweaters to knit dresses and oversize shirts.
Strong Shoulders - "Voluminous sleeves and architectural shoulder pads reminiscent of the '80s. Balenciaga, Jacquemus (shown here), and Saint Laurent sent various options down the runway for spring 2017, marking the end of this year's much beloved (and overdone) off-the-shoulder silhouette." Allure
Words - "The return of the slogan tee is here, preferably of the feminist variety as seen at Christian Dior and Stella McCartney. Whether you want yours to be political or just super sassy - like Haider Ackermann - try tucking into a maxi skirt and wearing with plenty of eyeliner." Cosmopolitan
Bralettes - Perfect for those with a love of underwear as outerwear, Kendall Jenner's favourite piece of clothing is going to be everywhere for spring. They'll be strappy, as seen on the model herself on the Alexander Wang catwalk, covered in floral prints, as seen at Tory Burch and in luxe velvet textures like at Victoria Beckham.
Ruffles - "Like fancy sleeves, ruffles are transitioning from the autumn/winter catwalks to Spring with a serious kick. We can't wait to try out the romantic ruffles and floral prints that sauntered down the catwalk at Dolce & Gabbana, while Mulberry made theirs look like ruffles were made for the office." Cosmopolitan
When Breathe Becomes Air, is an autobiography written by Paul Kalanithi, about his journey to become a neurosurgeon and his battle with lung cancer.
I've recently joined a book club and got to make the first selection, which was this memoir that has been on my to-read list for a while. It's a well written, thoughtful account of a man who spent the majority of his life trying to understand life and death through his love for words and his passion for neurology.
Paul takes the reader on an emotional journey of unfulfilled dreams, acceptance, and understanding.
By the end of it, I felt I had this new insight into the perspective of the individual behind the white coat - who often sees us at our most vulnerable - into the gap between science (predictable) and basic human emotions (unpredictable) and knowing what sort of life is worth living and coming to terms with that which will never be....a powerful read that I highly recommend.
A few of my favourite quotes:
"Human knowledge is never contained in one person. It grows from the relationships we create between each other and the world, and still it is never complete."
"There is a moment, a cusp, when the sum of gathered experience is worn down by the details of living. We are never so wise as when we live in this moment."
"Don't think I ever spent a minute of any day wondering why I did this work, or whether it was worth it. The call to protect life—and not merely life but another's identity; it is perhaps not too much to say another's soul—was obvious in its sacredness. Before operating on a patient's brain, I realized, I must first understand his mind: his identity, his values, what makes his life worth living, and what devastation makes it reasonable to let that life end. The cost of my dedication to succeed was high, and the ineluctable failures brought me nearly unbearable guilt. Those burdens are what make medicine holy and wholly impossible: in taking up another's cross, one must sometimes get crushed by the weight."
"The tricky part of illness is that, as you go through it, your values are constantly changing. You try to figure out what matters to you, and then you keep figuring it out. It felt like someone had taken away my credit card and I was having to learn how to budget. You may decide you want to spend your time working as a neurosurgeon, but two months later, you may feel differently. Two months after that, you may want to learn to play the saxophone or devote yourself to the church. Death may be a one-time event, but living with terminal illness is a process."
"The main message of Jesus, I believed, is that mercy trumps justice every time."
Beauty And The Beast
Over the weekend, I went to go watch Beauty and the Beast and now I want to convince everyone to go watch it!
I was super skeptical and nervous before going to watch the movie because I did not want them to ruin the cartoon for me. This is one of my favourite cartoons and it holds a special place in my heart. The first time I went to Euro Disney in France, this was the first live show I ever watched. Then my first ever Broadway play, in New York, was Beauty and the Beast So as you can tell, I had very high expectations.
But, I loved it! They did justice to all the characters and even after all these years I knew every word to every song (they added 2 more in this movie). I'm not going to go into much detail because I want you to go watch it!!
Go on, book the tickets, already!
Have fun reliving your childhood and escaping into a fantasy!
P.S. We had so many little girls in our show dressed up like Belle....it was the cutest! one started crying when the movie ended and I shared her sentiments exactly.
Review: Fresh Skin Care Products
Over Christmas I purchased a value set by Fresh at Sephora. I love that this brand uses natural ingredients and it is not harsh for your skin. Given that, I always feel that even though the products smell great, they don't make rapid changes overnight (which is what I want!). Since, they do use natural products, it takes time for you to see a difference in your skin. Also, the products are so expensive! I always wait for a sale so I can indulge.
The products in the set were sample sizes but still relatively a really good size compared to some other brands. So here's a quick review of the products that I received in my gift set:
Some of you may remember this product as a birthday gift from Sephora. This is one of my favourite cleansers. Its very gentle and gives you a great clean feel. It does not dry out your skin at all by using harsh chemicals, which is a great bonus.
After hearing so many amazing things about this I really expected to be blown away by this face oil. Alas, I wasn't! I don't hate it, but I definitely won't be purchasing this in the future. I truly notice no difference and I don't think it gives my skin any more help than my moisturizer. It isn't as hydrating as the product claims to be and it took a while for this oil to get absorbed into my skin. I tried using the oil as a primer underneath my foundation and it worked really well (my skin is dry but I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin).
Gives your skin a really nice tingly feeling and is hydrating. I had a few dry patches on my skin and this fixed them right away. My skin felt plump and hydrated after using it but not firmer. A really nice mask but not life-altering!
Another product that you may remember from your birthday gift from Sephora. This is one of my favourite masks from the Fresh line. You can see the rose petals in the mask and it smells so nice! (I love the smell of roses). I use rosewater as a toner so I am biased towards anything that has roses in it! This mask is great for my dry skin and very hydrating. My skin felt firm and soft. It didn't cause any breakouts and gave my skin a nice healthy glow after using it for a few weeks.
I bought this value set from Sephora but you can easily find Fresh products in any department store. Let us know what your favourite product is!
Over The Knee Boots
Boots from Zara
So apparently winter is back in Canada! It's already snowing outside...argh!
I recently bought a velvet over the knee boot from Zara and I am obsessed. I wore the above boots to work on Valentine's Day (you know I had to wear red!) and I received so many compliments. I love this trend especially since it's so versatile and a great way to transition into Spring.
You Choose from suede and leather varieties in a range of heights, styles and colours. Whether you love a high heel to lengthen your legs or prefer the comfort of a flat sole, there is an over-the-knee boot for you. Opt for standard black boots to match all your outfits or embrace the new range of browns, soft greys and burgundy. If you're looking to take this trend to the next level and add some extra wow-factor, pick up a pair of the lace-up variety. No matter what you choose, you won't be disappointed.
Over the knee boots can be intimidating especially for first time buyers so here are some general guidelines to help you out and make sure you conquer this statement footwear.

Bobbette & Belle
Image from Bobette & Belle Website
I recently visited Bobette & Belle with my girls for a coffee and a quick catch-up. Bobette and Belle are knows for their wedding cakes, classic french macarons, cupcakes, pastries and birthday cakes. There are a few locations and we visited their shop on Yonge street.
The bakery is knows to be very "blogger" friendly and the set-up is very chic and honestly it looks like you walked into a "Pinterest" bakery shop. Every little corner is photograph-worthy and super cute.
We visited the shop around 3:30-ish on a weekend and the whole food section was empty except for 1 cupcake and a few macarons. We were so disappointed that they didn't have any food available and they could not re-stock their items either (apparently!). Other than how beautiful the bakery was, there was no other positive i can say about this place. They had run out of hot chocolate (seriously!) and there was barely anything left to eat. We found a corner to sit and enjoy our coffee but the entire place was cluttered with empty coffee cups and plates....it was a mess! None of the tables were wiped down either. I have always refused to sit in a dirty place/restaurant, it's a huge pet peeve of mine. I asked one of the servers to remove some of the plates and she rolled her eyes at me. After a few minutes she came by and picked up the empty cutlery but did not wipe down the area.
Basically we had a really horrible experience. Many people walked in and when they saw the store had no food items; they just walked out. I'm not going to go visit this place again; not sure if their location on Queen St. East is any better. I've been wanting to try this place for a while and was sorely disappointed.
The bakery seems better through pictures and not in real life.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied again on Thursday as investors shrugged away concerns about the Brexit. The Dow received another boost after Bank of England Governor Mark Carney hinted that the central bank may consider stimulus in the form of interest rate cuts.
First up, check out the results for the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq:
Brexit Triggers Rush to "Insure" Life Savings: Billionaires are sinking millions into "crash insurance" in an effort to protect themselves against another 2008-style meltdown. If you haven't shielded your holdings you better act now before all hell breaks loose. Read more…
Dow Jones: 17,929.99; +235.31; +1.33%
Nasdaq: 4,842.67; +63.43; +1.33%
Now, here's the top stock market news today… and your best ways to profit.
DJIA Today: Markets Shrug Off Brexit Worries, Oil Slumps on Supply Woes
Today, the Dow took off for another triple-digit gain. Markets expect central banks will do their best to prop up the European financial sector. The Dow Jones and the S&P 500 received their biggest boost today from General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE), which saw its stock increase 1.3%.
The company received a stock upgrade from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) a day after its financial arm GE Capital was able to shed the moniker of "Too Big to Fail." Meanwhile, shares of Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) were up 1.1%, helping to push the Nasdaq up another 1% on the day.
The International Monetary Fund has offered a dire warning about the health of the world's largest banking firm, Deutsche Bank AG (USA) (NYSE: DB). The global agency says that the German bank is the single riskiest financial institution to the health of the international economic system. The announcement came not long after the U.S. Federal Reserve released its stress test results. The Fed also authorized stock buyback plans for 31 of 33 banks. The only two not to receive approval from the central bank: Banco Santander SA (NYSE ADR: SAN) and Deutsche Bank.
The Federal Reserve is back in focus as St. Louis Fed President James Bullard spoke in London. The Brexit remains a big concern for the central bank, but the attention today was on U.S. monetary policy. Bullard said that he expects a single rate hike later this year, despite expectations from the market that see a low probability of an increase in December 2016.
Investors may be thinking that the worst from the British vote to leave the European Union is over. However, there are two ticking time bombs that investors seem to be missing and that the mainstream media is ignoring. This week, Money Morning Associate Editor Cameron Saucier spoke with Capital Wave Strategist Shah Gilani to get his thoughts about what it would take for the EU to collapse. These two factors could lead to the final demise of the EU.
Crude oil prices slid again on Thursday. Traders continued to take profits from the post-Brexit rally and concerns about oversupply rattled the markets. WTI crude prices fell 3.1%. Brent crude dipped 1.7%. Global supply concerns are back in focus as production centers in Nigeria and Canada continue to bring supply back online.
Now, let's look at the day's biggest stock movers and the best investments in times of global uncertainty…
Top Stock Market News Today
- Shares of Priceline Group Inc. (Nasdaq: PCLN) were flat despite news that the travel company received an upgrade from investment bank Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS). The investment firm said that the company's market expansion strategy and its declining marketing costs are boons for the stock.
- In deal news, the world is about to discover the world's largest confectioner. Today, Mondelez International Inc. (Nasdaq: MDLZ) offered roughly $23 billion for Hershey Co. (NYSE: HSY). According to Euromonitor International, the company will be even larger than Mars Inc., which holds a dominate 13.3% market share. Shares of HSY stock were up 17% on the day after Hershey rejected the bid. It's expected that the firm will receive another bid from the snacking giant that was once part of Kraft Foods.
- Shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. (NYSE: CMG) were off 1.8% as the stock remains under pressure from its ongoing public relations disaster. The stock had gained as much as 5% over the last week before retreating to near 52-week lows. The company recently announced plans to establish a customer loyalty program aimed to win back consumers after its outbreak of E. coli last year. With the stock back near $400 per share, should investors buy CMG stock? Find our answer to that question, right here.

Skyhook Aims For More Relevant Location Ads Through 'Personas'
Contextual location is the key, says VP of adtech products Matt Kojalo.
For Skyhook Wireless, geo-data isn't simply about better ad targeting or observing shopper patterns: It's about understanding how higher quality location information can yield a better customer experience.
Last month, the location specialist launched three new "personas" as part of its platform in a bid to help provide a more relevant mobile ad experience. The idea is that contextual location — the places someone has visited, and when — paint a picture of the customer journey and can tell a lot about who someone is. Thus, ads delivered based on that "persona" are more likely to be useful and interesting to the recipient — and the marketer may see a better response as a result.
Matt Kojalo, VP of adtech products at Skyhook, talked to GeoMarketing about the application of "personas" — and why he's over talking about ad blocking.
GeoMarketing: Skyhook has been around for over 12 years. How has the company evolved, and what led to the launch of the new personas?
Matt Kojalo: Skyhook originally started by mapping, or using cellular triangulation with GPS and Wi-Fi positioning to build better location.
It's really Google, Apple, Nokia, and Skyhook that have those mapping capabilities. That's how we started off by helping handset manufacturers — including Apple, Sony and a bunch of other IoT providers before it was even called IoT — with positioning.
Now, we're [using location data] to build personas. With the data, we can determine, "This lat-long is a real lat-long coming from a real human, and not IP-based. This is the a real movement of a user."
Based on where a person has been and what they've done [in the real world], we can then build that out into personas such as "coffee lover," "luxury business traveler," etc. to help understand [and target] consumers.
The ability to use contextual location to build these personas — and then target ads accordingly — depends on having quality geo-data, as you mentioned. As programmatic inventory has grown quickly, location accuracy has suffered. How do you see the industry reversing this trend?
Obviously, this is something we've worked on. Having hundreds of patents on location and having done this for twelve plus years, we are able to tell the difference between a real lat-long and a fake lat-long to determine if someone is in the Walmart or, say, the parking lot across the street.
I'd say viewability, ad blocking, click fraud, and location fraud are all a hot topics. I think location, or bad location, is probably the least talked about, which is a problem.
There's too much of an acceptance of "it's presenting this lat-long, therefore the person must be there." Where in reality, they're not. That's something that we're involved in IAB and MMA committees on, to help educate both the publishers and the SSPs [about the importance] of relying on first-party data. And the buy-side on the difference between good location and bad location.
You mentioned ad blocking. That's something that has kind of been talked to death, but it's still a topic of concern to a lot of people. What's your perspective on that, as someone in the location ad space?
Permission to speak freely? I think it's utter bullsh**, to be honest.
I was at an MMA event this week, and I forget who said it, but on of [the speakers] said, "If you have your ad blocker turned on, we don't want to advertise to you anyway because you're not paying attention to ads".
The point is, it's nothing really bad. You know, who cares?
There's so many other challenges in our industry that ad blocking is the least of it. From our position, if it hurts anyone, it really hurts the publishers who are ad supported. In my mind, it's like pirating music; if you're [stealing anything], you're really stealing from the content provider.
What do you see as the big challenges in the industry?
I think it's sort of still the wild, wild west when it comes to the use of third party data, and, like we said, that's an issue. Who's third party data is certified or not certified with a real location, or is it a bad location?
I've had conversations with SSPs about being able to rank or give a score for location for a certain publisher at a certain time, so that when a DSP gets it, they're able to say, "The score for this ad request, or this bid request, is ninety percent certain that it's a real GPS location versus a bad one."
Going forward, how do you see Skyhook continuing to evolve in the location ecosystem? What's next?
We're just looking to get as much data as possible through our system.
Also, continuing to ensuring that everyone understands good location [data] versus bad location, and how we can help determine that; how we can continue to distinguish someone in Walmart from someone in the parking lot from someone driving by. That really helps out with foot traffic and in-store attribution as well.
And, following up on the launch of our list of new personas, we'll be launching a bunch of things around our wearable products and other device precision location.

One of the most noted construct
is the Cathedral of the Diocese of Cartagena, which was built between 1394
and 1465. Most of the succeeding religious buildings were instead built
throughout the 15th and 18th century. Thus one may see why there are some
designs inspired by Baroque, Renaissance and others.
Reaching the province of
Murcia is easy, as it has two main access points via airplane. The primary
entry point is its own Murcia-San Javier Airport, and the alternative is
airport in the neighboring province of Alicante.
Once in the city, moving
around will be quite convenient with the many transportation methods such
as Buses, Trams, Trains and Taxicabs.
Even if Murcia has already
been urbanized, it still is a major producer of agricultural food. It supplies
neighboring provinces and technically the whole of Spain with fresh produce
such as tomatoes, lettuce, lemons and oranges.
Latest Tourism Trend
Festivities to look out
for in Murcia
Anyone who wishes to take
part of the festivities in Murcia may opt to best fly in during the Holy
Week celebration where in such processions are numerous. During this week,
residents take out life-sized holy figurines and parade these around the
city which attracts more people to attend.
Another festivity worth seeing
is the Bando de la Huerta, usually celebrated after Holy Week celebrations.
In this, participants dress up in the traditional huertano clothing and
parade around the city.
Murcia also boasts one of
the best made wines from the rich, fertile soil that the city is located.
Since Spain has been a melting
pot of different races who have influenced the citizenry and the different
established religions, the Three Cultures International Festival is celebrated
in May. Its main objective is to unite the Muslims, Jews, and Christians
in the celebration of national identity.
Be sure to properly set up
hotel reservations and an itinerary of the schedule of events to be done
when visiting Murcia to avoid waiting and delays.
Caravaca is dominated by the medieval
Castle of Santa Cruz, and contains several convents and a fine parish church,
with a miraculous cross celebrated for its healing power, in honor of which
a yearly festival is held on the 3 May. Caravaca is home to many monuments
ands museums, many of which are important tourist attractions. The hills
which extend to the north are rich in marble and iron. The town is a considerable
industrial centre, with large iron-works, tanneries and manufactories of
paper, chocolate and oil.

r curd was dissolved in 6 hrs. and still more completely in 8 hrs. These leaves re-expanded after two days, and the viscid fluid left on their discs was then carefully scraped off and examined. It seemed at first sight as if all the casein had not been dissolved, for a little matter was left which appeared of a whitish colour by reflected light. But this matter, when examined under a high power, and when compared with a minute drop of skimmed milk coagulated by acetic acid, was seen to consist exclusively of oil-globules, more or less aggregated together, with no trace of casein. As I was not familiar with the microscopical appearance of milk, I asked Dr. Lauder Brunton to examine the slides, and he tested the globules with ether, and found that they were dissolved. We may, therefore, conclude that the secretion quickly dissolves casein, in the state in which it exists in milk.
Chemically Prepared Casein.--This substance, which
* 'Leons,' &c. tom. ii. page 151. [page 115]
is insoluble in water, is supposed by many chemists to differ from the casein of fresh milk. I procured some, consisting of hard globules, from Messrs. Hopkins and Williams, and tried many experiments with it. Small particles and the powder, both in a dry state and moistened with water, caused the leaves on which they were placed to be inflected very slowly, generally not until two days had elapsed. Other particles, wetted with weak hydrochloric acid (one part to 437 of water) acted in a single day, as did some casein freshly prepared for me by Dr. Moore. The tentacles commonly remained inflected for from seven to nine days; and during the whole of this time the secretion was strongly acid. Even on the eleventh day some secretion left on the disc of a fully re-expanded leaf was strongly acid. The acid seems to be secreted quickly, for in one case the secretion from the discal glands, on which a little powdered casein had been strewed, coloured litmus paper, before any of the exterior tentacles were inflected.
Small cubes of hard casein, moistened with water, were placed on two leaves; after three days one cube had its angles a little rounded, and after seven days both consisted of rounded softened masses, in the midst of much viscid and acid secretion; but it must not be inferred from this fact that the angles were dissolved, for cubes immersed in water were similarly acted on. After nine days these leaves began to re-expand, but in this and other cases the casein did not appear, as far as could be judged by the eye, much, if at all, reduced in bulk. According to Hoppe-Seyler and Lubavin* casein consists of an albuminous, with
* Dr. Lauder Brunton, 'Handbook for Phys. Lab.' p. 529. [page 116]
a non-albuminous, substance; and the absorption of a very small quantity of the former would excite the leaves, and yet not decrease the casein to a perceptible degree. Schiff asserts*--and this is an important fact for us--that "la casine purifie des chemistes est un corps presque compltement inattaquable par le suc gastrique." So that here we have another point of accordance between the secretion of Drosera and gastric juice, as both act so differently on the fresh casein of milk, and on that prepared by chemists.
A few trials were made with cheese; cubes of 1/20 of an inch (1.27 mm.) were placed on four leaves, and these after one or two days became well inflected, their glands pouring forth much acid secretion. After five days they began to re-expand, but one died, and some of the glands on the other leaves were injured. Judging by the eye, the softened and subsided masses of cheese, left on the discs, were very little or not at all reduced in bulk. We may, however, infer from the time during which the tentacles remained inflected,--from the changed colour of some of the glands,--and from the injury done to others, that matter had been absorbed from the cheese.
Legumin.--I did not procure this substance in a separate state; but there can hardly be a doubt that it would be easily digested, judging from the powerful effect produced by drops of a decoction of green peas, as described in the last chapter.

of precision injection, compression and thermoset plastic
mouldings, specialising in predominately technical products.
Scaled down screen-shot of the site's entry page and its custom
opening animation
content planning: Before
we begin to even contemplate the design or structure
of any Website we carefully address the issue of how
any proposed content will be suitably organised and
eventually presented online. Good content planning consequently
ensures that we design accessible Websites with clear-cut
navigation and uncomplicated
well laid out
structures. As a result
visitors are able to find the information they want
without any apprehension, delay or frustration.
custom design & build:
Whilst being sensitive to the companies existing
logo and printed material our remit was to design
and create a clean and uncluttered site that would
also be instantly engaging and user friendly.
with all of our work, this site was painstakingly
custom crafted from the ground up to encompass
the company's every requirement.
graphics and artwork:
Various original key
graphics & images were created from scratch
for this Website including 3D rendering. We also
achieved the sensitive re-creation of the company's
existing print only logo for effective use on
Various key photographs were
expertly taken and skilfully enhanced for inclusion
within the site.
imagery: Where
appropriate professional stock imagery was carefully
selected then skilfully edited to excellent effect.
scripting & programming:
All of our Websites utilise
in-house custom written scripting / programming making
everything work smoothly behind the scenes. This particular
site utilises a custom written enquiry form providing
a friendly and effortless way for customers to get in
touch with the company...
the site's enquiry form is used, the contents of the
form are immediately sent to the appropriate staff at
Hytec Plastics, whilst an automated "thank you"
response is also courteously sent out to the enquirers
email address.
Our enquiry form feature
also incorporates various sophisticated anti-spam
created Flash animation:
First impressions count, so a fast loading Flash animation
is used to grab the visitors attention on the
site's front page. The animation we created offers a
simplified and colourful interpretation of the plastic
moulding process.
the "want it now!" world of the Web,
few surfers are willing to wait whilst a Flash feature
loads. Accordingly we are always mindful to create FAST
loading and efficiently designed Flash features, ensuring
the greatest experience for all Web surfers.
testing: As
with all of our Website's, we robustly tested this site
at various key development stages making certain that
it would be fully compatible with all popular Web browser
packages, (such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera
and Netscape Navigator for example).
the widest available audience: We
understand that not all Web surfers use the same Web
browser packages, screen resolution or technology, meaning
that many poorly written sites cannot be properly viewed
by large clusters of Web surfers. With this in mind
we take great care to ensure that anything we place
on the World Wide Web can be properly accessed and viewed
by the widest available audience.
hosting and email: As with
many of our customers, we supply Hytec Plastics with
reliable and fast Website hosting, delivering their
Website to a global audience. We also provide the company
with comprehensive professional email services for all
of their staff and various departments.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mirolin Industries Corporation on new marketing materials for their Snap Fit shower products. The illustration consisted of accurately showing how the Snap Fit system they manufacture works on their tub shower products.
The biggest challenge with a technical illustration of this subject matter is rendering something that is all white, in a realistic fashion. I kept it simple with slight yellow hues for highlights and slight blue hues in the shadows to add some visual warmth to the illustration.
Thanks to Jennifer and Daniel for making this project a success!

A part-time job is usually thought-about to be one the place a person works less than the usual 35 – forty hour week and normally, but not at all times, does not get benefits. The newest developments in expertise may be seen and felt in many industries, but there are some areas which have been benefited greater than others. Prices of manufacturing have fallen, networking has grow to be easier, employment levels have risen (in some circumstances), and we have now certainly turn out to be more environment friendly at many advanced tasks and processes. With this in thoughts, let's look at a number of the most blatant advantages of expertise that we dwell with right now.
Research shows that education oriented to particular office skills and job training produces graduates who are much less versatile and unable to change occupations without substantial retraining. By contrast, graduates of a rigorous liberal arts education can readily study new abilities and modify to new jobs. There is lifelong value in gaining information of history, literature, science, mathematics, and the arts far past the world of work. The most important purpose of schools is to educate People to be vigilant guardians of their freedom and to give you the option independently to make the most of the social and economic alternatives that a free society affords.
Washington wanted the African- American inhabitants to, …abandon their interest in starting at the high of Southern society, that they put forth their finest efforts to exploit the alternatives that they had always encountered at the backside where they lived." lxv He believed that their desire to start out on the high was unreasonable. Not solely did they lack the tools necessary to justify this aspiration, however in pushing for it resentment among the white population would grow. If blacks and whites were to function as one, working symbiotically, they needed to help each other. Creating a larger cause for preventing and disagreement wouldn't assist society as a complete or assist the African- People achieve the goal of being handled as equals.
ix) Problem fixing ;All nations face educational issues that require solutions. Comparative education helps us to understand variations and similarities between our own education system and others. On this regard one is able to appreciate the truth that international locations develop educational programs to serve their own nationwide targets, pursuits, values and aspirations, based on their distinctive contexts and hence clear up problems dealing with them.
Over 2,000 individuals have taken our careers quiz to see how their job or profession matches up with what ENFPs say they want for profession satisfaction. It was those true conservative insurance policies that ended the most important financial contraction in American history in 18 months. And it was the welfare state of the 30's that gave us a near two decade melancholy after the 2nd largest economic contraction.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Hosting
We use exclusively SSDs on our top-notch cloud hosting platform and we've eliminated all HDDs on our production servers so as to ensure improved loading speeds for all aspects of our services - files, e-mails and databases. This way, all the content you upload to your cloud hosting account will be accessible very fast. In order to improve the performance of the Internet sites hosted on our end even more, we also use a number of SSDs that work solely as cache - our system saves routinely accessed content on them and updates it without delay. We use this kind of a configuration to ensure that resource-demanding Internet sites will never influence the performance of the other Internet sites hosted on our platform and this way all other websites can also take advantage of the speed which the SSD drives provide. What's more, due to the fact that the load on the main drives is reduced, their lifespan will be longer, that's one more warranty for the security and integrity of your information.
SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you get one of our semi-dedicated hosting packages, your Internet sites will be stored on a cloud platform which uses solely SSD drives for the storing of files, databases and e-mails. Along with the advanced ZFS file system that we use, this setup provides fast loading speed for each web app hosted on our end. To guarantee that the websites of one customer won't affect the ones of another, we also use numerous SSDs as cache - our system identifies files which are accessed more frequently and duplicates them, so they start loading from the caching drives. The content on the latter is refreshed dynamically and therefore we can balance the load on all of the drives, ensure their long life-span, decrease the risk of disk failures and, of course, provide you with a fast and reliable web hosting service.

Whats the Verdict: Is Binge Watching the New Normal? NBC takes the plunge!
Posted by Ahouraian Law in AmericanFederationofMusicians, BBC, BBCNetwork, CannesFilmFestival, Cinemax, CivilConspiracy, ClassActionLawsuit, Comedy, CopyrightInfringment, CopyrightLaw, Disney, Diultion, Drama, EntertainmentaLaw, EntertainmentIndustry, EntertainmentLaw, EntertainmentNews, FightNight, FirstAmendment, Fraud, FraudScheme, GeniusProducts, GrandTheftAuto, HBO, Hollywood, HollywoodProductionCompany, HomeVideoRoyalties, Impersonation, Jayz, Lawsuit on May 27, 2015
Once reserved strictly for online content streaming platforms like Amazon, Hulu, and Netflix, binge watching seems to have gone mainstream, with big networks beginning to release whole seasons online. The adoption of the binge model by big networks comes precisely at the same time that platforms like Netflix are moving away from it.
Tomorrow NBC will release the the first season of David Duchovny's new period drama, Aquarius in its entirety online, while at the same time airing one episode a week on TV. In a Hollywood reporter article, NBC Entertainment Chairman, Bob Greenblatt proclaimed this decisions would push new boundaries, while also giving the consumer what they want.
NBC's jump into the binge party comes at the same time as other's are begining to question its merit. On May 21, Netflix began airing its new show, Between on a week to week basis. Hulu is also questioning the model and is looking at non binge options for its lineup, and Yahoo's sixth season of Community is also being released over several weeks.
At the root of this shift is the need to create buzz. Content creators want to be able to build buzz around their shows, that continue over a period of time. The binge model allows for much of this build up. However, once the show is released the hype plummets. Serial releasing of content, on a week by week basis allows for hype to be built throughout a season.
As big networks like NBC move to catch up to online content providers like Netflix, more and more shows will be released on the binge model. The implications of this for the industry could be huge. Networks will have to create more and more content. This means that season story lines will become much longer. This also means that Networks will have to green light more shows. If they no longer have to worry about the physical confines of airtime, networks will be able to produce more shows for online viewers.
The real question is wether or not this is what the consumer wants. Will weekly entertainment transition into becoming fourteen hour obligations to watch an entire season in one weekend? What implications will this have on hiring patterns? What does this trend mean for payouts in the industry?
What do you think the verdict will be?
What's The Verdict: The Weinstein Company Using Genius Products as a Personal Bank Account?
Posted by Ahouraian Law in EntertainmentIndustry, EntertainmentLaw, EntertainmentNews, Fraud, FraudScheme, GeniusProducts, Hollywood, Legal, LegalBlog, LegalNews, TheWeinsteinCompany on May 20, 2015
What's The Verdict: The Weinstein Company Using Genius Products as a Personal Bank Account?
This past Thursday, a trustee for a bankrupt home video company, Genius Products, has filed a multi-million dollar multi-claim lawsuit against The Weinstein Company, with accusations of perpetrating a fraud scheme and demanding the return of more than $130 million! It was in 2011 that Genius Products, LLC was forced into involuntary bankruptcy by World Wrestling Entertainment and two other companies over $8.5 mill in debt. According to the newest complaint from Chapter 7 trustee Alfred Siegel, by 2011 Genius Products was already in debt thanks to "onerous and one-sided" agreements forced upon it by The Weinstein Company. Essentially, The Weinstein Company is being accused of treating Genius as its personal bank account and transforming ESPN, Discovery and Genius' other licensors into unsecured creditors.
The attorney for The Weinstein Company says his client lists tens of millions on Genius and that Genius' story does not align with the real story. So, what is the story?
Weinstein formed Genius in 2005 gaining the exclusive rights to distribute Weinstein home videos in the US. The following year, 2006, Genius would become an independent company and in accordance with an operating agreement, TWC held onto 70 percent. Supposedly, becoming an independent company was a sham to mislead third parties, where Weinstein would have full control over Genius and distribution agreements that made it impossible for Genius to operate profitably. Another way in which Genius was allegedly disadvantaged by TWC is the requirement that it keep about 40 employees exclusively working on Weinstein titles at a cost of $2 mill per year. Despite an exclusive right to distribute, Genius was not permitted to distribute in Blu-Ray and other new formats.
All in all, it looks like The Weinstein Company dictated the agreement terms in a way that pretty much all the revenue from the home video distribution was transferred to Weinstein and all expenses were paid the 'Debtor' or Genius Products. This is all said to have gone on for about 2 years, up until 2008 when Genius was seriously running out of money. What happened next is that Weinstein transferred its majority ownership to an investment firm, Quadrant Management, Inc. as a means of removing itself from the relationship as a minimal cost.
While Genius Products claims this was a major fraud scheme, TWC claims that they were actually the victim in this whole series of events. As litigation proceeds, there will be more to come, so, stay tuned on What's The Verdict for updates!

Messing About In Ships podcast episode #13 has launched. (42 minutes)
Listener/reader comments
Comment by Billy Sabatini, February 23, 2008I liked the segment about the Jones Act and what it means to mariners. I would really like to hear the debate between why it should be done away with or to keep it the same. I agree that any legislation that was written when Babe Ruth was still getting used to playing for New York probably doesn't relate to us now. Although I do think that if we went to a global market in shipping very few american mariners would want to stay in the industry when they could make more money by staying home. Also, the Black Crowes song made my day.email from JB Bagby "Fort Macon Sail & Power Squadron" re the 75th birthday of the Sylvia II, a beautifully restored 36' Core Sound sink net vessel fishing vessel out of Morehead City, NC area. Educational today. Looking for support.

Pond Pumps
A pond pump is required to maintain proper flow, circulation and aeration of your pond water. Pond pumps are also necessary to keep pond water clean. Pond pumps are available in two options - waterfall pumps (also referred to as aquafall pumps) or submersible pumps. Aquafall pumps imitate the soothing sound and look of a waterfall, whereas submersible pumps function while submerged underwater. Pond pumps are purchased based on the size of your pond and how much water they can pump. Choose a pump that can pump at least half of your pond's water volume per hour. Pumps are measured in GPH (gallons per hour) or GPM (gallons per minute) - according to their pumping capacity. Pond pumps are usually priced between $70 and $380 online.
