On 19 March the EU and the UK agreed the terms of a Brexit transition period ending on 31 December 2020. An updated colour-coded version of the EU's Draft Withdrawal Agreement was published by the negotiators indicating which articles are provisionally agreed (highlighted in green), agreed from a policy perspective but subject to the drafting (highlighted in yellow) or not agreed but still being discussed (no highlighting). Most of the intellectual property provisions (Article 50 – Article 57) are now agreed however there is much post-transition detail left to be decided (see commentary below).
Details of the IP provisions of the Draft Withdrawal Agreement can be found in our earlier blog here. The following areas are still subject to on-going discussions:
Geographical Indications (GIs)
The protection of GIs (and rights such as protected designations of origin or traditional terms) appears to be a significant concern for the EU Commission. Unless specific UK legislation mirroring existing EU protection for GIs is enacted post-Brexit, the valuable protection of EU geographically sensitive food and drink product indications will be lost. Whilst this would enable UK retailers to sell English sparkling wine as 'champagne' and dry cured ham as 'Parma', protection for GIs and PDOs that benefit UK products (such as Cumberland Sausage, Cornish clotted cream and Scotch whisky) would also be lost. There are far more EU GIs and PDOs so the impact on EU businesses would be far greater.
Registration Process and Costs
The provisions as currently drafted, which refer to the registration process for 'comparable' UK rights by the UKIPO being free of charge, could be onerous for the UK government; the number of registrations at the UKIPO will rise dramatically with the potential for a large number of UK registrations which were never intended to be used in the UK. Whether the UK Government intends to try to negotiate a different scheme or whether it is simply withholding agreement as a bargaining chip remains to be seen.
Supplementary Protection Certificates
These provisions also remain to be decided although it is unclear why. The simple "grandfathering" regime proposed in the Draft Withdrawal Agreement (whereby pending applications at the end of the transition period continue to be governed by EU law and provide the same level of protection) seems sensible and it remains to be seen what is preventing agreement. Again, the value of SPCs (which come at the end of the patent term, when sales are generally at their height before the product goes generic) could make this an area where the UK government feels any regime needs particular consideration, and may provide scope for a bargain.
In general the paper deals only with IP rights in existence at the end of the transition period and many long-term issues remain to be decided.
Article 50 has been amended by the UK government to specify that after the end of the transition period the reputation of a trade mark shall be based on the use of the mark in the UK (rather than in the EU). This means that after the end of the transition period, 'comparable rights' created in the UK by virtue of the Withdrawal Agreement provisions could be removed from the UK register if they are not used in the UK; use in the EU only will not be enough. This seems to be sensible but it remains to be seen whether a new 'non-use' grace period for 'comparable' UK rights will start after the end of the transition period or how long this grace period will be.
The draft Withdrawal Agreement remains silent on many important post-transition issues. For example, whether use in the UK will allow a right holder to maintain an EU27 trade mark registration post division when the only use made of the trade mark is in the UK; and how will the UK bona fide "intent to use" requirement be applied to marks that have been derived from an existing EUTM and automatically registered at the UKIPO? The EUIPO has no 'bona fide intent to use' requirements. As we mentioned in our previous blog posts (available here and here), the issue of exhaustion of rights is dealt with only briefly and much remains to be negotiated.
Although the extensive green highlighting gives the appearance that much has been agreed, the Draft Withdrawal Agreement in relation to Intellectual Property issues deals largely only with the basics, with a number of complex post-transition issues that are yet to be discussed. The UK and the EU negotiating teams aim to finalise the Withdrawal Agreement by October 2018. We will be tracking its progress on LimeGreen IP.

Based on the success of the WinterPride festival, which wrapped up on Sunday following an all-night party at the Telus Whistler Conference Centre, Alpenglow Productions and GayWhistler have announced plans to create new gay-themed festivals.
The Whistler group will host GayWhistler Summer Camp 2007 July 19-22, the first lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender summer camp in Whistler. The program will be busy with activities like mountain biking, river rafting, glacier skiing, hiking, and a range of non-sport activities like a Summer T-Day and Theatre in the Park.
"Whistler is just as vibrant in the summertime as it is during the winter seasons, and GayWhistler Summer Camp 2007 will reflect that," said Sean Kearns, president of Alpenglow Productions and GayWhistler.com.
Next winter, his group will create a second WinterPride festival, at Mont Tremblant, another Intrawest resort, in March. The festival will be similar to Whistler's WinterPride festival, with activities on and off-hill, parties, and added components focusing on topics like cuisine and health and wellness.

Maybe it can, according to a recent, independent study conducted by two management professors, Paul Griffin, Ph.D., and Yuan Sun, Ph.D., at the University of California Davis and Berkeley. The study is titled Going Green: Market Reaction to CSR Newswire Releases.
According to Dr. Griffin, a professor at University of California, Davis, "A lot of people were saying we need to engage in a climate change strategy but there was little or no evidence that this was improving shareholder value. We wanted to look at whether there was an association between voluntary disclosure and shareholder price."
The study's findings will make advocates of higher levels of corporate transparency and sustainable practices very happy. For example:
The source: 10 years' worth of data—18,000 news releases—available on CSRwire.com. Why CSRwire and not companies' websites or other sources? Three reasons, say the authors:
Besides confirming the obvious relationship between corporate governance, accountability, and pressure from the socially responsible investment crowd, the study is positive news for corporate communicators too, who after decades of having to prove the business case for CSR and voluntary disclosure, over and over, can now quantify the return and the reciprocal value.
Plus, the study adds a new layer of authenticity and urgency to a delicate question for most business executives while adding quantifiable evidence to a growing library of literature on the connection between good corporate citizenship practices and increased shareholder value.
As for the concept of voluntary disclosure -- always a controversial topic for financial officers and their C-suite colleagues -- CSRwire's CEO Joe Sibilia explains it succinctly:
Voluntary disclosure theory is a relatively new idea that attempts to predict that an optimal disclosure decision should produce an overall net benefit for shareholders, and that such net benefit should decrease in public information availability. Intuitively, we agree and subscribe to the theory.
Practically, however, too much climate change disclosure could increase proprietary disadvantages, litigation and insurance costs. Managers must balance the needs of both. On the other hand, too little disclosure could trigger adverse selection problems, increase investor discontent and raise the cost of capital.
The essential bottom-line conclusion of the study—that voluntary disclosures serve shareholders' best interests and increase shareholder value while improving environmental sustainability—is cause for celebration for organizations that have been disclosing data on their environmental activities for years now. It also is a critical reminder to lagging companies and disbelievers that transparency will ultimately heighten your market value.
Making the bad—and the good—data of your company's activities publicly available can help sustain your business' value and reputationin an increasingly complex marketplace and a volatile economy.

Federal prosecutors in Florida are reviewing date changes on forms used to fix vote-by-mail ballots after it was discovered that the dates were altered by the Florida Democrat party in four different counties, including Broward.
"Cure affidavits" are due by 5 PM the day before the election, but prosecutors have discovered altered ballots that could be turned in on Thursday, the day after the election.
So far, Democrats have produced tens of thousands of ballots several days after the election. Broward County has even refused to disclose how many ballots they had left to tabulate meaning they could count however many they needed to force a recount for the Democrats.
State law does not allow ballots with irregularities such as mismatched signatures to be counted, but Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) claimed that Democrat lawyers are attempting to change the laws to steal elections.
"Florida law requires that the voter signatures on mail ballots match the signature of the voter, but Dem lawyers are asking a judge to throw that law out & force Florida to count ballots with signatures that don't match the voter signature on file," said Senator Rubio.
Investigative reporter Laura Loomer spoke with a non-citizen resident of Florida who claims that the Democrat Party of Florida texted him on Election Day to go to the polls and vote Democrat.
Watch the video below as she questions the non-citizen further:
The state of Florida has long been known to have some potentially shady voting procedures which often arise during the close elections the state seems to have every other year.
A 2012 report from NBC revealed that there may be nearly 200,000 registered voters in Florida who may not be US citizens.
Later, it was discovered by state election officials that they had identified more than 2,600 people who are in Florida legally but ineligible to vote.
The initial list of names provided by the state of potentially ineligible voters contained nearly 182,000 names. This was later whittled down to 2,625. The state then found 207 non-citizens on the rolls on the federal database.
A state elections document from 2012 showed that only 85 non-citizens were ultimately removed from the rolls out of around 12 million voters eligible to vote at the time.
State officials do not know if any of the voters removed from the list had voted illegally in the past.
Keep in mind, in the 2000 presidential election, George W Bush defeated Al Gore by just 537 votes in Florida. It wouldn't take much to swing a hotly contested race one way or the other.
Florida law requires voters to be a US citizen and to reside in the state. Florida also does not allow convicted felons to vote either.
Florida's voting database has come under fire for issues with removing felons from the voting rolls as well as names of people who have died.
"Of course, Floridians are entitled to have confidence in the integrity of the voter rolls, and anyone not eligible should be removed and not permitted to vote," said Howard Simon, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida.
"But the 'potentials,' 'possibles,' 'might-bes' that are the basis for this initiative by the Secretary of State don't yet add up to voter fraud," Simon continued. "Based on Florida's regrettable experience with voter purges, it would be a mistake to rely on the accuracy of the state's data."
"To now learn that thousands of illegal votes could be cast across our state is chilling and threatens the confidence people need to have in our elections," said Republican Party of Florida chairman Lenny Curry in a statement." Any amount of fraud or illegality in this system is too much."

Talking To Nikko Washington, SaveMoney's Creative Force
words • Jake Krez // video • Jackson Duncan (119 Productions)
By now, SaveMoney has emerged as a force not only on the local scene, but the country and world at large. With a year that has seen the likes of Chance The Rapper and Vic Mensa take marked steps towards the throne while the rest of the contingent has made their respective steps forward, the collective as a whole has established itself as the pre-eminent music organization on the come up today. While known mostly for the rap side of things that have taken over the city in the wake of the Drill movement, SaveMoney has never been solely one thing, a sentiment that has been echoed since interviews with the likes of Chano and Mensa back to 2012. It's a loose contingent that counts creatives of all types in it's ranks and one man in particular has been tapped to make sure it all comes together appropriately. That man is Nikko Washington.
At 23-years-old, Washington has accomplished a lot without letting many know. A soft-spoken individual that always seems prepared with a thoughtful aside, he's the type of person who can change your whole opinion on a subject without realizing it happened. Through and through, it's obvious he possesses a mind capable of great things and over the course of the last five years he's used it to become one of the more talented personas to emerge in the wake of the steady line of buzzing indie acts. Having produced album covers for NoName, Towkio, Leather Corduroys and many more, he's certainly benefited from the notoriety of his longtime friends. But he's used it in a way that is at once capitalized and self-aware, pacing the visual side of everything from merchandise to single artwork for the country's most talked about group. I caught up with Nikko just before heading out to Cuba over a couple drinks at Soho House to get the full story on how he arrived at this point in time.
TheseDays • It seems like as attention has followed the musicians in the city, others have found welcome roles, how did you end up in yours?
Nikko • It really just friendship, you know? The first person I started working with was Kene, KAMI, because everybody knew I was an artist, everyone knew I draw, I paint but he was the first person I ever did a cover for. He called me when I was in college and that was when Vic was blowin' up, Chance was blowin' up and I decided I wanted to take it serious. That was back when I was like 18, I'm 23 now. Kene told me to do this cover so I did it, he loved it, people started liking it and they realized I was fast with it and good and it was better to have your friend do it than some random person. So I started just working with everybody. It was a random cover, remember Scrape Money? Him and Preston. From there I started doing all Kene's all Joey's, then Towkio came on the squad at that point so I started doing all of Towkio's and I started working with Vic, just everybody. Everybody started asking for stuff. The first album cover I think was for Joey, the Purple Tape then I did Mafioso for Fresco.
TheseDays • So what informs your art, gives it a unique aesthetic?
Nikko • Well it's weird I think of art and what I do, I kind of separate the design from the fine art So the process with design is like, I don't really follow a grid, I don't really follow lines of normal design or institutionalized design because when I was in school I did like one or two design classes and then I stopped, that was my major though, it was really entry-level art and I knew how to do it because I transferred from school and was already working with people and I just hated institutional requisite you know? So from there I started doing the more abstract stuff, just more unique, more cold. Not cold as in the temperature, but really clinical and mechanical, I just got really creative with it, I used to create my own fonts, I still do. The most fun you have is when you just do ten of them. I grew up around graffiti but I never really loved it that much, I remember I got arrested when I was 14 for doing that shit on the train and I kinda stopped after that. I'll do stuff on permission walls or just canvas, just whatever, I never loved it enough to scale up a ten story building and paint, it just wasn't for me. I have friends who love that shit, like Vic. Vic used to climb up shit and fall off shit, just for graffiti, all these motherfuckers, they're crazy and I was never like into that, but I loved to draw. I used to come with them and do stuff just cause I could and it wasn't like I was bad at it, I just did what I did.
TheseDays • What does it mean to you to be a part of a group of friends having such an impact on the world?
Nikko • Its amazing to me to be honest. I always knew that we were put together for a reason. There was no reason, no way that all of was just randomly brought together. It happens a lot, people just don't understand who they're with at the time and we understood who we were with, who we had with us at all times and we had talented-ass people so our whole thing was we're going to come up in-house so we don't really need to have anybody else because everybody can do something: musicians, artists, videographers, whatever, everyone's doing something random but tight shit. It was like Nico, he's just a raw-ass trumpet player and most of us went to Whitney Young or Jones, I went to Skinner with Chance and Darius and Reese and shit and Justin, we all just knew each other and justl inked up in high school. We used to have like 100 motherfuckers with us at all times, we used to be deep as hell, legit used to be on the Ave and have like 100 people downtown, it was crazy.
TheseDays • Yeah, I mean I remember those early days everyone being very careful to not say SaveMoney was just a rap group, do you feel like you embody that a bit?
Nikko • It's a thing whether people do a certain thing because we're not a rap group so those who aren't rapping might not claim it outwardly but they're definitely a part of it. It's crazy because we're friends, we're a collective so we just do what we gotta do. Malcolm is a good example of that, he came later, that's the homie, we shake up squad with him, that's all love but he doesn't have to claim or put on his fuckin' Twitter that he's SaveMoney, you know? It's like, with me just being there from the beginning, from it's inception, since the day we start Bo Squad and then we made SaveMoney and people would always ask me like 'when you gonna rap?' and I was just always like 'I'm not gonna do that'. It's tight to see that I can still be in it and be successful doing what I do.
TheseDays • How lucky do you feel to be in Chicago at a time when that progression is even possible?
Nikko • It's amazing. It's showing that, not even knocking Drill because Drill was what it was, but showing that there was a different side to Chicago, that you didn't have to gang bang, you didn't have to shoot, you didn't have to rap to get out, to get money, to get out of your situation. Because most of us didn't come from money, people didn't come from wealth or whatever, people had to do what they had to do to get on or to get money when you needed it. Nobody glorifies it, nobody glorifies what they had to do or whatever, and for us to be a positive and still make it and do it in a way that's different from what's been out there, it's whatever, it's just us doing things how we do them. Like the way we used to dress was not ok at first. People always used to fight us and think we were soft and we wasn't and we'd have to handle it but we were always trying to not go down that road of being the typical gang-banging-ass dude. It's tight to see people offering the different perspectives of the same story. Like you were saying, "Paranoia" that shit is like an amazing song that spoke from the persepective of all of our friends and that was a part of his life that he jumped off from that and made something super, super positive. Even Vic now, he's making beautiful music through the pain he's experienced and that those around him have experienced.
TheseDays • What's the next thing for you or something you're excited about working on?
Nikko • I'm not sure yet, I'm picky with it. I might do clothes, I love fashion a lot, I've done art direction for brands and I've done design for brands in Chicago and stuff like that but I don't know, I want to grow into a contemporary artist, I want to be in museums like the Tate or MoMA. Its like what people know me for now is design, doing covers and I think I'm eventually going to stop doing covers or do it so rarely that when I do it's like 'oh man, he hasn't done one in years' but it's hard because everyone I know makes great-ass music and they ask me and I don't want to say no becasue again I'm picky and I hate the stuff that other people give them (laughs). It might be kind of arrogant in a way but with music I have a vision for what that evokes, what it looks like and when they come to me they trust me, they trust my design. Even if I don't do it, they ask me my opinion. Like for TheMind's cover, he came to me with pictures, with art direction and asked him what to do like 'here's what I have, what can you do?' and I was like yes, of course, it's all love. That's kind of how I want to do it moving forward, more art direction and then like kinda fading out of that. I'm going to do a lot more shows, I've been working on a lot more pieces and I have a studio downtown now. So it's all coming together, I'm just excited to see what else comes along.

The future of solar energy: cutting-edge materials and technology
22 janvier 2019
Save on electricity, get cleaner electric power and bring light to the poorest areas, where infrastructure and access are not yet available to everyone: now more than ever, the transformation of energy production systems is a crucial part of sustainable development. Research is focused above all on the development of more efficient, more environmentally friendly and, if possible, cheaper photovoltaic systems that are affordable for everyone.
A matter of substance
Research on this subject mainly relates to chemistry, physics and nanotechnology: scientists who study materials are the driving force behind change in the industry. A notable example is Dane deQuilettes, one of the ten most promising researchers in the world according to the ranking published in late 2018 by Nature – a leading international magazine for scientists and innovators –, is currently working on what could become "the material of the future" for solar energy.
The best candidate so far is called perovskite. Perovskites are a class of crystalline oxides with extraordinary magnetic, optical and electrical properties, as well as impressive conductivity, manageability and versatility. If all goes well, in other words if this new generation of substances proves to be superior in every respect compared to silicon (currently the most popular option for photovoltaic systems), it will mark a momentous turning point.
Technological promises
One of the advantages of this class of materials is that they are extremely advantageous from an economic point of view, even if considerable work is required to study them in depth and to develop the technologies that use them for the first time.
The flagship project in this field – led by deQuilettes – is based at the famous Massachusetts Institute for Technology (MIT) in Boston. It is called GridEdge Solar and the main aim is to test perovskites, as well as other materials, in order to determine their ability to create panels that are as light and flexible as possible and, through an incredibly interdisciplinary approach, to develop pilot plants that can then be scaled up and exported to developing countries such as India.
Perovskites under the microscope
But why perovskites? For scientists they are above all an important resource because they can be reduced to a form very similar to that of ink. They can therefore be printed on folding, flexible rollers that can be transported, assembled, disassembled and transferred in a very agile, fast and, consequently, less expensive way than is necessary for classic rigid panels.
Looking at them closely, under the lens of the most advanced systems for examining materials, once deposited on the supports they have adjustable surface characteristics which, according to deQuilettes, can be "pushed" towards specific properties, optimizing efficiency.
Looking to the future
Even if the cost of classic silicon cells, which supply 1.7% of global electricity, is reduced even further, it would probably not be enough to support the almost 1.5 billion people who are still cut off from the network. Change is not an option, but a necessity.

Gentrification in the 21st century: Timmy Odejimi explores the impact of gentrification on young creatives.
Always the talk of the town, however, discussing gentrification isn't exactly "news" in today's society. From subjects of rent and property prices to the audacity and cheek of landlords, the whole epidemic of a gentrified society has gotten out of hand.
The redevelopment of London's inner-city areas has been praised by some as an 'urban improvement', while others simply see it as a 'social cleansing.'
Despite the various opinions, gentrification is having a profound effect on the capital's creative communities, more than most people think.
In the UK, the notion of gentrification began post Second World War, which gradually progressed through north London neighbourhoods such as Islington and Camden. However, it has now become a widespread disease that is out of control – or at least the public's control.
When it comes to chats over coffee or lunch, gentrification or rather "social cleansing" is usually the hot topic along with extortionate rent and property prices.
Statistics and figures show that average house prices in London have risen by 19.3 per cent to £499,000 – surpassing the average full-time London salary of £43, 886 – according to the Office for National Statistics.
With various numbers highlighting the monster prices placed on average housing, there is no surprise that more and more young adults are moving out of the capital. Additional figures released by the ONS show that, in the year to June last year, 58,220 people – with ages varying from 28 – 39 – departed London with sights on a new adventure and brighter future.
As the rich continue to splash their money and buy out failing businesses, communities continue to increasingly deteriorate.
One of the many communities being heavily targeted is East London's creative districts. From Shoreditch to Dalston; Bethnal Green to Hackney Wick, the list is endless.
Despite many artists still residing in the east part of the capital, some believe the community and creative vibe has dampened due to process of gentrification. East London-based painter José, claims that the gathering of artists has dropped and many creatives have been pushed out.
"Belsize Park and Hackney were one of the gathering spots, but what's happened is the artists have been pushed out and the rich have come in", he says.
Creatives, young and old, are simply not paid well enough in contrast to business sector professionals such as consultants, bankers and lawyers. The whole situation of today's gentrified society goes back to the playground scenario – big bully vs. innocent kid – faced in schools across the world. In this case the rich corporate Canary Wharf individuals against the creatives struggling for their art.
As an artist, a creative work studio is essential. However, circumstances arise where you're caught up in a predicament which eventually turns into an ultimatum. Occurring throughout London, affluent bankers and lawyers are moving into the trendy neighbourhoods; sparking increased rent and property prices and thus pushing creatives out so they cannot live or settle within their community.
Amsterdam-born photographer and Dalston resident, Violette Esmeralda, believes gentrification is pushing artists and creatives alike out of their hubs.
"I've been lucky to find a place with a fixed price, but if it wasn't for that I would have been forced to move back to Amsterdam quite a while ago", says Esmerelda.
Surveys show that London is the most pricy city in Europe; a frightening fact to say the least.
With cost of living/housing, the Dutch capital holds 14th place out of 54 in Western Europe rankings – a position Esmerelda agrees with.
"Over there [Amsterdam] housing prices are more regulated – the landlord is legally obliged to stick with the rent price you initially agree on – regardless of contract renewal.
"Here in London they [landlords] add 100 pounds to the monthly price every two years just because they can, which obviously put creatives in a tough situation considering we're already struggling as it is."
Data from the ONS (Office for National Statistics), show that rent prices increased in all English regions over the year to March 2015, with London's rent rates increasing the most (3.2 per cent).
The severe rent and property prices in London, a city classed as the most expensive city in the world, has become a thing of laughter. Estate agent Rachel Smith, 26, admits that rent prices increase quite rapidly every season, with students and young creatives affected the most.
"The property market is one the busiest and biggest. Just like in fashion with a new collection each season, that's the same with rent and property prices. It is mostly young clients, whether they're buying or renting, that are usually affected the most by the price increase", she says.
Anti-gentrification activists, such as young creative, bemoan the system behind it all, however they acknowledge its necessity.
Raleigh Fyfe, 22, graphic designer based in Clapton believes gentrification would be great if it just didn't mean the rich continue bullying the less fortunate. "As a young creative, I believe the idea behind it makes sense to an extent, though I cannot stand by it if it continues to affect not just creative communities, but other communities around the capital."
However the situation, it doesn't seem gentrification is going anywhere. In any case, it's here to stay for the long haul. Though this should not mean nothing can be done to cure the plague that it is considered to be.
It is evident the government need to intervene and offer more protection to many creatives, particularly the youths.
"It would be nice if there was a system, a government system that allows artists to exist in their frameworks which protects them from gentrification, but unfortunately we live in a capitalist society," says José.

When to "GO HARD", and when to "PULL BACK"
It's a pretty common theme around the CrossFit community that "going hard" on your workouts is cool and is what delivers results.
Now, don't get me wrong, intensity will definitely deliver results! However, there is a time and place for it, and that time and place looks different for each individual.
At CrossFit Five Cities, we not only strive to push our athletes to be better, but we strive to educate them on; proper mechanics, proper intensities, proper pacing, proper loading, proper breathing, proper daily workout intentions, and what this looks like for them as individuals.
There is no such thing as a "one size fits all" workout program, or a one size fits all barbell load, or workout schedule......etc. Therefore, it should make sense that there is no one size fits all high-low intensity/effort day.
It takes a lot of practice (failures blended with some successes) to figure out how to blend your workout efforts with your own individual lifestyle, sleep patterns, stress levels, nutrition, recovery....etc.
Athletes who work with me in an Exclusive Program Design setting understand this very well as we don't build any program until we sit down to discuss specific goals, lifestyle, schedule, sleep patterns, stress levels, training history, nutrition........to name a few. It is important for an athlete to understand that if you work three, 12hr. night shifts in a row, your body and CNS are a train wreck on that 4th day. While it's easy (and understandable) to want to come into the gym and crush your workout because you haven't trained in 3 days, that is actually the exact opposite of what you need to do. That athlete needs to rest, get proper nutrients in the body, hydrate, come into the gym and do 30-45min of Z1 activity, and THEN (maybe), do a short, low intensity, low CNS demanding WOD at 70-80% effort.
On Wednesday of last week, A C5 athlete came into the gym during OPEN BOX and started warming up for the WOD. He did the first strength related piece and realized that his body wasn't responding the way he wanted it to. He was feeling drained and not "on point". This athlete made conscious decision to NOT do the WOD, and did a short Z1 piece on the rower and some mobility instead. I think I was more PROUD of this athletes decision with this situation than I was to watch him hit a back squat PR the previous week!
Did missing the WOD that day and doing Z1 and mobility instead make him weaker? Did his fitness digress because of this? Absolutely NOT! If anything, he will see MANY MORE PR's in his future because of this decision. His body is already thanking him and he's probably performed better everyday since then!
In conclusion; LISTEN to YOUR body! BE PRESENT! If you're tired, take the day off. If you're feeling great, push the limits! It's so easy to get caught up in the hype that surrounds that little dry erase number on the whiteboard that gets written next to your name each day. In reality, that number does NOT dictate who you are. It's a score that get's written up for the hour and will be erased before the end of the day. If you can focus on understanding when to "go hard" and when to "pull back", I can guarantee you will find MUCH more success on your Fitness Journey!
Remember, this journey is for the rest of your life, understanding that you may need to adjust the sails a little each day to accommodate YOUR life and YOUR goals is what is required for REAL RESULTS!
Make it a great week of fitness friends!!

Why you should do a DNA test
Through your genetics, you can learn how your DNA may affect your life in many different ways. By knowing your genetics and genetic potential, it is now possible to reduce risk factors and enhance your genes in many ways, even through small changes in lifestyle and food choices.
By knowing more about your DNA, you may be able to take steps towards changing issues in your life to enhance your health and wellbeing. Genetic testing provides a range of benefits such as:
- Insights into your general health
- Indications of how to become stronger and healthier
- Information regarding your potential in ageing and anti-ageing
- How to obtain an overall and better sense of wellbeing
- Discover new skills and talents "hidden" in your DNA
- Learn how to manage stress, and learn how much it affects your health
- How your sporting activities and workouts suit your genotype, and how to enhance your performance
Today many people are seeking help and advice from different specialists; nutritionists, healers etc. But because that we all are different, almost any advice will be based on general experience and knowledge working on an average of us all. With true insight into your genetics, many of these general "beliefs" can now be changed to facts.
We are all unique and can change our lives with the knowledge we now have available to us through personal genetic testing.
By investing in any of the New Life Genetics DNA tests, you are taking the first vital step to change your life, and you can do so knowing that the changes are beneficial to you.

I really enjoyed the story about Keana Berkhalter. She plays for her high school hoops team and persevered through the awful experience of not having anyone to take care of her. Keana's grades began to slip and her high school coach noticed the tears flowing as the holidays approached.
A year later, Keana has brought her grades back up, she is part of a loving family and she will complete her high school career as class valedictorian.
Thanks to all the wonderful foster and adoptive parents who like Keana's coach open their homes and hearts to children in need.


text: Cultivate where you are. In other words, dig into life right now, right where you are, just as you would dig into a patch of dirt in a garden. So often we spend too much time "living" in the future or past instead of truly taking in the present moment. Manage, tend, and harvest are all synonyms for cultivate. What would happen if your eyes were wide open to life in this moment, in the city you're in, working with what you have, just as you are?

Reflection: The Journey
A BHM Exhibit
e elieve that this exhibit should inspire everyone to be themselves authentically. It should encourage us to explore the idea of "self". How do we see ourselves? How do we want to be seen? How do others see us? The idea of conformity vs. displacement. Self-image, self-awareness, selfishness and selflessness.

Here is a list of 10 Bible promises that mean a lot to me (apart from the oft cited John 3:16 and Revelation 21 which are, of course, amazing). Feel free to share your own in the comment box below!
"These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." - John 16:33
"Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me." - Micah 7:8
"Fear not, for you will not be put to shame; And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced; But you will forget the shame of your youth..." - Isaiah 54:4
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." - Ephesians 2:8-10
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" - 2 Corinthians 5:17
"Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow." - Psalm 51:7
"Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die." - John 11:25
"If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything." - 1 John 3:20
"As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us." - Psalm 103:12
"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned..." - Isaiah 43:1-2

So far, total 649 samples have been tested of which 227 have tested positive.
The Odisha government has earlier issued guidelines for hospitals to tackle swine flu. The Health and Family Welfare department also issued do's and don'ts for the general public and increased the awareness drive to prevent the spread of influenza.

Natural disasters more devastating, study reveals
FINDINGS PUBLISHED in the Atlas of the Human Planet 2017, reveal the grim prospect that imperils the human race. Noticeably, according to the researchers, four decades worth of satellite data show that "global exposure to natural disasters has doubled since 1975, largely as a result of population growth and development." More specifically, it tells the following:
- Earthquake is the hazard that accounts for the highest number of exposed population. The number of people living in seismic areas has increased by 93% in 40 years (from 1.4 billion in 1975 to 2.7 billion in 2015).
- In 2015, 414 million people lived near one of the 220 most dangerous volcanoes and could suffer from the consequences of eruptions.
- Tsunamis affect coastal areas in many regions, but dangerous areas are more concentrated in Asia. Japan has by far the highest amount of built-up surface exposed to tsunamis, followed by China, and the United States of America.
- Flood, the most frequent natural disaster, potentially affects more people in Asia (76.9% of the global population exposed) and Africa (12.2%) than in other regions. The world population potentially exposed to flood is around 1 billion in 155 countries in 2015. 11% of the area built-up on Earth is potentially exposed to this hazard, too.
- Cyclone winds pose a threat to 89 countries in the world and exposed population increased from 1 billion in 1975 up to 1.6 billion in 2015, (about 24% of the world population). In 2015, 640 million people are exposed to extremely strong cyclone winds. China is by far the country with the largest number of people potentially exposed to storm surge as consequence of tropical cyclones: 50 million of Chinese people live in coastal areas included in the hazard area and this number increased by a factor of 1.5 in the last 40 years.

Chalk Paint Australia
100% Australia made, owned and operated, Mezzie & Frank Chalk Effects range of products is the new leaders in this growing market. Mezzie and Frank have created a unique range of 38 colours which include some vibrant and strong colours – something quite new to chalk paint.
Range of Whites
The Mezzie and Frank range of whites has the subtle variations in hue we love about 'white'. Pavlova is the most popular. Don't you love the name? And the vision I have is of those soft peaks of meringue with the ever so pale hue of pink. Baked to perfection then smothered in strawberries and cream!
The stylish mirror pictured was completed using Mezzie and Frank's Pavlova Chalk Paint. There are just 2 coats over the original gold frame, then slightly distressed to reveal a touch of the gold. The whole piece is then finished with Carnauba wax which sets the paint and creates a highly durable smooth finish.
How to Use
This paint is effectively self-priming, so preparation of furniture is minimal and fuss-free; no prior sanding or priming is required on most finished surfaces. Tannin rich timbers may require an oil or spirit based stain block to prevent leaching.
Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from dust and peeling paint.
Apply directly to most surfaces e.g. painted, veneer, timber, brick, concrete, stone or metal. Paint adheres to most surfaces without the need for priming.
One litre of Mezzie + Frank paint will cover 11 to 14 sq. metres depending on the surface texture, application technique and wastage rates.
Cleaning Up
Simply rinse the brushes in clean water making sure that runoff does not enter drains.

The Power of PR: Circle K Simply Great Coffee
Coffee is all the rage.
Everywhere you look, people are proudly clasping to-go cups in their hands—gingerly sipping a latte, cappuccino, espresso or cold brew.
The caffeine is necessary, the flavor comforting.
And the quickness associated with ordering a cup of joe is key for our on-the-go lifestyles.
In a world that seems to be dominated by Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, Folgers and the third wave, however, launching a new coffee brand can be intimidating.
How do you convince folks that this premium product can go head-to-head with well-known coffee houses on flavor and quality?
How do you encourage them to forgo what they already know [and love] and try something new?
We at Approach love a good challenge.
So, when our client Circle K was ready to formally introduce Simply Great Coffee at their locations in Charlotte, NC, Columbia, SC and Augusta, GA, we put our heads together to build a campaign that amplifies the voices of local micro-influencers.
First step? Offer free cups of coffee during the morning commute in all three markets and open a temporary coffee shop setting inside four Charlotte stores.
Approach Marketing developed a plan to support and build on the above efforts—raising awareness of Simply Great Coffee and driving in-store tastings through a mix of everyday influencer, traditional and social media activities.
Partner with local influencers to share authentic reviews and develop content about Simply Great Coffee for use across Circle K's Facebook and Instagram channels.
Event Marketing
Invite influencers to a pop-up coffee shop for private, one-on-one tastings with a Circle K spokesperson
Media Outreach
Distribute a press release announcing the launch, with a focus on business, retail and lifestyle/coffee writers, millennial-focused news and entertainment sites and TV and radio news anchors/producers
Influencer Engagement
Invite local mom and lifestyle influencers to serve as ambassadors for Simply Great Coffee—sampling the coffee at local stores, sharing reviews on their blogs and social channels and spreading the word about events and special offer
Social Media Support
Repurpose influencer content that mentions Simply Great Coffee on Circle K's social channels, and coordinate geo-targeted Facebook ads for additional reach
545,000+ impressions and 2,200+ engagements, including blog posts, Instagram Stories and Facebook, Instagram and Twitter posts.

We thought we would start by talking you through some of our work and some of our favourite projects. Five Elms was one of these.
We were tasked with creating marketing CGI's for this re-development in Bromley, Greater London.
With its great commuter links to Central London and also being in a leafy suburb the development was being aimed at business professionals wishing for an easy commute without the hustle and bustle of a central location.
External and Internal 3d Artists impressions were developed along side the client, alllowing vital early off plan marketing to begin long before construction was complete.
This also allowed overseas buyers to be targeted through various different channels.

Dear Steven,
A very small measure of apologies, with ice, for the delay in writing with regards to last night's episode; I was bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt, I was unrecognisable to myself; what happened to our 'hands off Amy' accord?
You'll recall that a year ago, as Peel's Bobbies were pulling me back from your landing, across the threshold and into the street, when my sincere but with hindsight, over zealous attempt at seeking restitution for the loss of goodwill incurred at the Pandorica resolution, failed, and they started to beat me while your children watched and laughed, we m- sorry, I've forgotten what I was going to say.
Oh yes, we made a pact, didn't we?
Amy had been killed during the previous week's shenanigans, (the Doctor's right, that is a wonderful word), and all I sought was a guarantee that lovely Amy, beautiful Amy, glowing, sarcastic, sexually unavailable Amy, would never again be harmed on my drool box. You made me believe this would stand and I trusted you, because I'm a real trusting person. Well, almost.
I know what you're going to say; two things, first, 'not me gov', you didn't write the offending scene did you? Oh no, that was Matthew Graham, but who is Graham if not your representative on Earth? You primed him alright, and you told him what had to happen. The two of you are up to your necks in it and don't think I don't know that.
Second, you'll argue that the Amy reduced to a puddle was not the apple of my eye but one of those plastic apples that you get in the fake fruit baskets that populate the homes of the tasteless. I might have agreed with you, as technically you'd be correct, it's just that the episode in question made this problematic. You did watch it before writing that final scene, didn't you?
It's for you and Graham to argue over of course, I don't wish to intrude upon private grief, but it seems to me that the episode centred on whether or not Gangers, though they be servile, could be regarded as people in their own right.
The title of the episode suggests not; Amy's ganger, unaware of its own artifice, thought not. In fact, this was, with hindsight, the fiendishly clever thread that ran through the story, namely that Amy, whom we all dote upon and consider as the centre of our philosophical universe, inadvertently, in response to the Doctor's double, made the case for her own destruction, positing the notion that Gangers, though they be sentient organisms, don't quite hold the same status as their parent beings when it comes to individuality.
My problem is that The Doctor's position and therefore, one presumes, the writer's position, was that the opposite was true; Gangers were people and they had the right to life. The ganglinoid's declaration, in respect of his occasionally unhinged twin, was "I am him and he is me"; not a view that I shared but I understand that The Doctor was making a philosophical case that was supposed to overwrite our understandable feelings of suspicion and disgust.
It seems to me that there's an argument, though it would take a better man than I to make it, that the episode's climax underwrote the noble intent of the episode, making a mockery of the previous 90 minutes. One can understand The Doctor's double melting down Jennifer's Ganger, after all, she was psychotic, monstrous and a threat, so I'd have done the same, and we can forgive the alt-Doctor because he did himself in at the same time and for the good of the show, not to mention your arc which would have been undermined were it resolved with a cheap trick like a convenient Doctor body double. The real Doctor however, with malice of forethought and seemingly little conscience, murdered Amy's Ganger, though it was, in its own mind, a real person.
Now, Amy's double, physically perfect in every way, and I know because I was really looking, wasn't like the ones in the Industrial Zone of the Crystal Maze; she wasn't independent, I understand that. The link between her and our Amy, up the stick in a space asylum, still functioned, but the Gangers that were melted down in the opening part of last week's show were also servile, as were the mound left to rot while fully conscious, and we were supposed to feel sorry for them. I mean, I didn't, but…
Am I to infer that we were supposed to regard Amy's Ganger as superfluous, therefore unnecessary, and once revealed, thereby solving the mystery of the intermittent pregnancy and signalling that our Amy related attentions should be focused elsewhere, she could be disposed of like a used condom?
The Doctor melted her down without so much as a flinch, despite telling us just 45 seconds earlier than the flesh retained memory at the microcellular level. He didn't seem to care that he was depriving Rory of possibly the greatest threesome in the history of human sexuality. He didn't pause at the possibility that Amy's double, which had enjoyed experiences independent of its parent, may have obtained some small measure of autonomy and therefore have earned the right to life. Not that we've earned it, you understand.
It would curious if this didn't disturb us; after all, these were the arguments advanced over the last two weeks. Still, I understand that you didn't write those arguments and that you're a busy man, so may not have had the time to read them prior to attaching your final page of script in Word, then PDFing for immediate print and dissemination to cast members.
That moral maze question aside, this was an interesting episode; an important instalment disguised as an entertaining but essentially inconsequential bridge between last week and next. I wish I'd known how important this two-parter was, because perhaps I'd have paid greater attention to what people were saying, rather than wasting my viewing experience fixating on Amy's lovely face or that Eye Wall, which Steve Jobs must have viewed with barely concealed envy.
Technically I thought it was rather good in places. I enjoyed The Alt-Doctor's identity crisis. It was odd to hear Tom Baker's sultry tones leaking out of Matt Smith; his weedy frame could hardly contain that voice; it was like watching a kitten try to swallow a Mini and somehow succeed. I'm told Tennant's voice was also there, but I regret that his Englishman impression is so close to Smith's real voice, not least when Smith is being hyperactive, that I couldn't tell them apart. Was it done using samples from previous episodes, Steven? If so, couldn't you have sampled John Pertwee's voice too? Perhaps the sound engineers couldn't be bothered, after all it must be incredibly difficult to find a clip of Pertwee's catchphrase in the Doctor Who archive.
So, now we know – we know now. Amy is pregnant and not only that, she's been snatched. Soon we'll know who River is, perhaps what that regenerating child was all about and the poor Doctor is about to be forever changed. That sounds like a big episode Steven, an important one. I pity the poor bastard who's got to make that fucker sing.
Yours in time and cyberspace,

Hulu initially focused on streaming, popular live T.V shows and original content over documentaries and movies. Also offers many paid content to customize your streaming experience. There are many ways to view Hulu without ads, Here we will discuss some methods to Skip or Block Hulu Ads.
Unlike other platforms such as Amazon Video and Netflix, Hulu allows their customers to early stream popular T.V series.

Everything you streamed on Hulu is in full HD, ranging from 720p to 4K Ultra HD. Hulu allows their customers to watch a full series of kids shows, Hulu originals and hit movies with a minimal monthly subscription price starting from 11.99 dollars. Many of the people asking and searching on the internet about, how to block or skip ads while streaming any videos. So, I have researched a lot on the internet and by using my technical mind, find 5 ways to get rid of these commercial ads.
Instant Trick to Skip or Block Hulu Ads Guide:
Before I share my ideas to get rid of these ads, you all have to believe a fact that you will not completely block these ads and streams the videos uninterrupted. As these ads Are the revenue system for the Hulu and they will not let you stream without paying anything to him. The tricks and tips, I am going to tell you to be 100% safe to try.
While Searching you might get tons of tips and tricks to skip Hulu commercial ads, Which are completely annoying. So we have gathered a few methods that could really help you to skip those ads.
1. Using Ad-block to Skip Ads:
The most common method used in every site to skip ads is Adblockers. You might come across this method in many sites. We still recommend this method to every user, might be the easiest and perfect way to skip an ad.
Which Ad-Blocker to Choose:
You might have confusion in choosing an Ad-Blocker. That's not the case here, We have made a perfect guide to choosing the best ad-blocker in Market.
Try out the method and comment below.
Note: While using adblockers even the video that you watch are blocked, Hulu made those ads i to appear in video script. So you might face this issue even after removing adblockers. For that you just need to update the Flash Player.
Alternate Way Might Work For Some Users:
1. Open Hulu and Select any program to stream.
2. Open Hulu again in the new tab and open the same program.
3. After that in the 2nd tab, mute the volume and fast forward the program, a just few seconds before the first commercial ad.
4. After that move to the 1st tab and watch the show.
5. When the show streamed until the 1st commercial ad in the 1st tab, move to the second tab, un-mute the volume and return to the show to the 1st commercial ad.
6. As you already watched that ad, the show will instantly play at that point. In this way, you skip the ads.
7. Just repeat this trick between two instances and watch the full program without interruption.
This is the trick that always works and lasts till now.
If your facing issue with Hulu here is some other platforms to watch movies online.
2. Reload Hulu Program Page:
As you all know that, Hulu revenue stream system is from the subscriptions and commercial ads. But you also agree that watching 3 to 4 minutes of ads between the program is so annoying and ruin completely, the enjoyment of watching the program. Try the trick which is explained below, I believe you won't regret.
Hulu gets all his revenue from the page views and from these commercial ads. So, when you start streaming any program, they initially show you the short duration ads and gradually increases the timing of the ad to 3 to 4 minutes ads.
A trick to Skip Long Ads: Whenever you come across any long duration ads, simply relish the whole tab by pressing the reload button above the page. After the page has been successfully reloaded, you will have to see only two short ads, one is 2 seconds ad (the program you are watching) and second is the 30 seconds commercial ad. After that, your program will resume at that point of reloading your page. In this way, you will skip long ads (which is of 3 to 4 minutes duration) and it replaces long ad with a shorter 30 seconds ads.
3. Upgrading to Hulu Plus (No Commercial Ads):
A very easy and an excellent way to almost get rid of these commercials ads in whatever program you streamed on. Hulu is to upgrade your current subscription to the Hulu Plus for just 11.99 dollars which is only 4 dollars more than your normal plan. In this way, you will skip almost all commercial ads from any program except that program which is exclusive. Hulu Plus still shows you ads (to keep the subscription charge as low as possible).
Though there are still the ads. But this is the far better than the normal plan which shows ads on every program.
4. By Using Enounce MySpeed to fast forward Hulu Ads:
By using Enounce MySpeed, you will able to fast forward these commercial ads so that. You will not have to watch these annoying short and long ads to watch your favorite programs. For this, you just have to do 2 two things, first of all. Download Enounce MySpeed Software from this page and try it free for 7 days.
5. Block Hulu Ads By Using Ad Block Plus:
If you are thinking that this will going to block or skip the commercial ads of Hulu, then this is an impossible task because we are not creating this Hulu and didn't know the back end scripts that they use. All we can do is that, alter the front end scripts by using some kind of tools.
There is a Google Chrome extension know an as Ad Block Plus (which you can get from Chrome extension store). You can download it and use it to block ads. This extension does not exactly block the commercial ads, instead of that, it will show you a black screen. You will have to wait at that time until the ad timer ends. But this is better than watching those ads.
Note: You might not be able to watch some videos by using this extension.

Today we attend the funeral of Shannon's grandmother. It was a very nice service and we really appreciate all the hard work that went into making the wonderful slideshow of old photographs displayed before the service started. The preacher gave a great sermon and we were really happy that she invited everyone in attendance to come to know Jesus as the Savior.
Once we got home we shot an idea I had come up with the night before. I was trying to preplan the shoot knowing we would have had a long emotional day. The idea was not a very good one and after two shots we decided it would be best to move on to a different photo concept. Shannon looked around for just a second and came up with tonight's image. I played around with it in post-production and gave it a very retro feel. We both really like the image and hope you do as well.
Until tomorrow,
JW Purdy

Delta will add 3x daily MEM-LUV (Dallas-Love) service starting in July. This complements additional service Delta has added between Memphis and Texas cities to make up for loss of service once the Continental codeshare ceases to exist once Continental moves to Star Alliance and out of SkyTeam. Kudos, MEM!
I didn't even know there was such a flight, but BNA-BOS on Delta will be eliminated starting in early September.
Before jumping into the hot topic, I must say that I'm very impressed with the look of the new parking garage. This is a very attractive "front door" for MEM, and I think it shows that MEM is moving in the right aesthetic direction. Now let's find some new designs for terminal improvements!! OK, on to the NW/DL merger. If/when it is approved by the DOJ, I honestly would not jump to the conclusion that MEM is out the door. I'm not going to be ignorantly optimistic like some officials in the CA who spoke of how MEM is safe and is guaranteed to see growth with the merger; however, I'd ask everyone to be slightly realistic. ATL is approaching max capacity (contrary to what some earlier poster seems to believe). Further, while MEM and ATL slightly overlap, ATL is definitely entrenched in the Southeast whereas MEM is further to the west. This could enable MEM to capture westbound traffic rather than cause travelers to backtrack through ATL. At the same time, MEM is the most marginally profitable NW hub due to extremely low costs. IMO, it is not a question of MEM against ATL; it is one of MEM against CVG (Cincinnati). In this duel, you have to compare a SLIGHTLY higher O&D market at CVG as opposed to better weather and much lower operating costs at MEM. Furthermore, you have CVG, DTW, MSP, an IND focus city, and one could even say JFK all overlapping each other with the "new" Delta as opposed to just ATL and MEM overlapping. Further, DTW, MSP, and JFK could easily absorb CVG traffic. ATL can't exactly do this with MEM. I personally don't feel 100% secure in the MEM hub status, but at the same time, I feel a lot more comfortable with this merger than some residents in Ohio should be feeling.
MEM retains its status as the world's busiest cargo airport for the 16th year in a row...growth was at 4%, a decent improvement from the 2.6% seen in 2006. Experts still expect Hong Kong to overtake MEM in the next few years; however, it's good that the MEM growth is over the US average of 2-3% cited in this article: MEM Retains Lofty Title for Cargo
It's really sad that Frontier is basically receding back to focus solely on Denver ops. It seems as though they are trying to pay attention to competition from Southwest at DEN and hopefully overcome it. Unfortunately, this isn't good news for all of the cities that basically have had to see a reduction in service...
ORF (Norfolk, VA) COS (Colorado Springs, CO) BDL (Hartford, CT)
Pretty good news on the Northwest front for new service to MEM: MEM-ORF MEM-SAN MEM-COS MEM-BDL What's interesting is that the MEM-SAN flight was supposed to be served by a Compass E175; however, it has been upgraded to an A319 before service even begins on this route. MEM-ORF and MEM-COS are both restored routes; however, the MEM-BDL route is new and a very exciting addition to the MEM hub.
Cohen Ready to Defend Hub It's nice that some leadership in Memphis knows how to handle an issue pertaining to the city (sorry...still reeling from Bass Pro). Cohen makes a good argument against all the naysayers who are for closing the hub and allowing Southwest to come in.
What's great about it is how it's not your typical RJ...it's very roomy. I flew on it from Memphis to Boston (a 2.5 hour flight), and I was quite comfortable. 6-8 of them will be based in MEM, so it should fuel some growth and add capacity to some routes. It'd be a nice way to expand MEM Caribbean service.
The T
northernbizzkit1 replied to atlrvr's topic in Greater BostonDoes anyone know when the Breda cars will be on the D line?
I actually just checked it out and the San Diego flight is a returning destination, so it was offered at one point, but due to slot restriction/crowding (both have been mentioned) the flight went away...very odd b/c apparently it was an excellent performer. As far as SLC and Hartford...um, neither is really all that important. MEM actually just lost its SLC flights on Delta, but that was due to a reduction in capacity at the airport from Delta. MEM was one of many cities that were cut. However, with those cuts came additions on MEM-ATL flights (nothing special, but it compensates for the void to the SLC hub). Yeah, Hartford is part of the Boswash megalopolis, is a fairly important business destination, and provides an alternative to flying to NYC...however, not having service to Hartford is not an indicator of MEM being a weak hub. We have ample service on three airlines to the NYC airports, so I don't think MEM has anything to be worried about. I'm not trying to be rude, but I think you need to reevaluate the MEM hub. It is a very strong hub for Northwest. Articles in the past week show that it has a higher profit margin that the DTW hub, without it Northwest wouldn't have nearly the presence in the South that it currently has, and it serves a purpose as the growing Caribbean hub for NW. Even going into merger talks, Steenland recently announced basing some of the 787 fleet here for MEM-NRT flights. I don't think that would be mentioned for a place where "anyway you look at it, it isn't a strong hub." I wouldn't be so quick to write off the MEM opps for NW.
Starting May 2, Northwest will be adding a long-awaited MEM-San Diego flight. It will be operated on the Embraer 175...it's a REALLY nice plane. Flew on one back here to Boston from MEM.
Cohen Hearing on Possible DL/NW Merger This should be interesting...
It may be far too expensive, but it is a bit more advantageous to have a legacy hub here than be a Southwest station. Business class, international flights, and more non-stop flights are better for attracting businesses to the city. Also, to echo what others have said on here, I'm certainly not going to fully support a NW/DL merger, but at the same time, don't completely go against it or listen to what other folks from the TN forums may have stated on threads. I have a feeling CVG would close before MEM due to the fact that it will conflict with the DTW and MSP hubs that can easily take more capacity as well as an IND focus city (though I can imagine it closing in a merger). MEM simply has overlap with ATL, which doesn't exactly have space for all of the MEM capacity. Plus, it's still debatable over whether DL will pursue NW or UA.
The Embraer 175 on Northwest subsidiary Compass began flights from Memphis and Detroit this week. I flew the MEM-BOS flight tonight, and it certainly is a beautiful plane! Nice to see the B concourse atrium is very nice...though, it was extremely tight with the evening bank and the narrow corridors.
