Tourism : what's the weight of the activity
The tourist actors of the territory, met last Wednesday at the lobby of the city hall of Duras, to the general assembly of the tourist office of the Country of Duras (OT), in the presence of Didier Benedetti, director of the CDT47, Bernadette Dreux, mayor and president of the Community of communes, Bernard Patissou, vice-president community responsible for tourism, Philippe Marmiesse, director of the tourist office of Val de Garonne and the representatives of Infotourisme Duras.
The president Jean-François Blanchet thanked for their participation in this meeting all those involved (elected officials, community representatives of offices of tourism, director of the CDT, hosting providers, hotels and restaurants, telling countries, local producers, guest rooms, castle of Duras…) in any capacity whatsoever to the tourist influence in the territory.
9.4 million
Catherine Dalla Santa, agent of development of the OT, reported on the balance sheet for the year 2016 : the economic impact on the country of Duras represents 9 400 000 euros generated by tourism activity. The office participates in the development of tourism products (holiday guide, guide animations), the animation of leisure. It helps in the organization of festivals and artistic events (Spring of Duras, Roaming medieval markets, country producers, and night markets, wine tourism at the Maison des vignerons, Fête des vignerons, château de Duras wine Fair in Belgium), marketing of tourism products, in partnership with the airport of Bergerac and France Bleu Gironde. It helps to agri-tourism in partnership with the CDT47, anime a website is very looked at by future visitors and offering all the tourist activities, cultural, festive.
The OT is going to continue in 2017 its program of support for animations and events by developing a policy that promotes even more focused, taking account of the new habits and budget of holiday makers. Among the news : the geocaching Terra aventura (treasure hunt), the privilege card for tourists, Owls holiday with V3G, and the development of a page on Facebook.
Although the budget is being tightened due to decreases in grant, Jean-Francois Blanchet believes that the office of tourism of the territory duraquois attached to the offices of France, contributes effectively to the promotion of tourism and economic of the country of Duras.

Psychopathy and narcissistic personality disorder are separate psychiatric disorders that have slightly overlapping symptoms. Sociopathy, however, is an older, outdated term for what is now called psychopathy.
Unfortunately, the differentiation of these widely-used terms has caused much confusion among the general public and mental health professionals alike. Part of the problem lies not in differentiating among individuals or disorders but in differentiating between labeling or classification systems. For example, narcissistic personality disorder is outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (or DSM, first introduced in 1952 by the American Psychiatric Association, and currently in its fourth revised version, called the DSM-IV-TR), a classification system used in the United States and several other countries. According to the DSM-IV-TR, narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by a pattern of grandiose fantasies and behaviors, a need to be admired, and lack of empathy which begins early in life and persists throughout the lifespan in multiple areas of functioning. A person with this disorder may also have a strong sense of entitlement, may frequently take advantage of others, and may often be envious of others or believe that others are envious of him or her.
Psychopathy and sociopathy are not acknowledged as separate disorders in the current DSM, though the syndrome of psychopathy has been rigorously explored, defined, tested, and validated by researchers over the past several decades. Another consideration in differentiating these disorders is comorbidity, or the existence of two or more disorders at the same time in one individual—meaning that it is possible for one person to meet diagnostic criteria for both psychopathy and narcissistic personality disorder at the same time.
Understanding the difference between psychopathy and sociopathy really comes from an understanding of the different labels and conceptualizations historically used to describe psychopathy. Psychopathy, the disorder, has gone by many names. In 1801, it was called manie sans délire ("insanity without delirium") by French physician and psychiatrist Philippe Pinel. In 1835, it was re-named moral insanity by British psychiatrist J. C. Prichard. In 1891, German psychiatrist J. L. Koch coined the term psychopathic inferiority (Koch chose the term "psychopathic", which was actually a generic term for personality disorders until recent decades, to signify his belief that a physical basis existed for this condition—the term "inferiority" meant only that it represented an unfavorable deviation from the norm).
In 1952, the first edition of the DSM used the term sociopathic personality disturbance. This was the first official emergence of the term "sociopathy" to describe this condition, although this diagnosis was focused on internal psychological processes and personality traits (as opposed to more easily identified behaviors), which made it difficult for clinicians to diagnose properly. To address this shortfall, in 1980 the DSM-III introduced a more limited, behaviorally-based diagnosis called antisocial personality disorder which arguably lost many of the key personality-based symptoms of psychopathy that were found in earlier versions of the diagnosis.
As such, antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy are often confused, though they are not the same condition. Furthermore, though one prominent researcher (David Lykken) years ago proposed differentiating between sociopathy and psychopathy based upon causal factors (with psychopathy caused primarily by biological factors, and sociopathy due more to social factors such as improper or ineffective parenting), there has been no research that supports this theoretical speculation. In fact, there is no currently validated measure of sociopathy which would permit researchers to study whether it has different causes or properties than psychopathy. Thus, the current confusion between sociopathy and psychopathy may stem from an unwillingness of mental health professionals to discard an antiquated term, in spite of the extensive body of research developed on psychopathy but not sociopathy.

Day Three of Vacation: Arches National Park, Moab
We didn't like the second hotel much, with the lack of english communication and all, so we weren't gonna stick around. We left Richfield and headed to Arches National Park for about 3 hours. It wasn't a bad drive on I-70 East, just reminds you that you are in the middle of no where with no services for like 110 miles.
We didn't have enough gas to go straight to Arches National Park and just play like I wanted to so we just went to the visitors center and watched a orientation movie and browsed the shop before heading to Moab to check in a hotel and get gas. We ended up going down the street in search for food and went into several gift shops on the way all afternoon. I found a hoodie for cheap. Yay. Mom seemed to be shopping for everyone and their dog. And Dad was set on getting a catus....dont ask me. It was nice doing what we wanted with no schedule.
We finally ended up going to park around 6pm to purchase things and headed up to the Delicate Arch (the one I wanted to see first and foremost) before it got dark. We decided we could make the 3 mile completely uphill battle and the straight downhill on the way back. We almost died going up, but we made it, eventually. It was hot. We had like 3 cameras being used the whole time. I was definitely going to get evidence of that climb. We didn't make it back down til 9pm. It was worth it, but I don't think any of us will be able to move morrow.
It was perfect really, the timing of it all, not for the pictures, but getting there before the sunset and watching it go down while at the Arch. Then coming down in the cooler weather just as the last rays of sun were drifting away and then relying on the moonlight and the stars the rest of the way. Bonita.

The 4 C's Explained: #2 – COLOR
Only 5% of engagement rings last year where yellow gold. That is very close to zero!! Diamonds today need to be WHITE. However, no one knows what the next trend will be. I heard one jeweler say. "No one wants what their mom had. That's not cool. So this generation wants white gold since it is different from what their mom had, but the next generation will want something else." Don't worry.

GUN, (NON) CONTROL By Larry Gordon
It's highly unusual here in New Yorkanyway to spot someone walking the streets, in a store shopping or buying anitem that is openly carrying a gun of any variety. That is unless that person is a police officerin which case you kind of hope that they are carrying a weapon, as aside fromtheir uniform and the power vested in them as an officer of the law is the onetool or instrument that at least in a mundane but very absolute fashion allowsthem to assert their authority.
In New York and I suppose many otherplaces around the world if you are in a mall looking for shirts or slacks oreven standing around while your wife or children are shopping if you sawsomeone doing the same thing as you but with a high powered rifle or other typeof automatic weapon slung over their shoulder it would be kind of startling.
But that is not the case in the State of Israel. In Israel you can be on linefor yogurt and the young man or woman in front of you that looks like ateenager can have one of those long guns slung over their shoulders and no onethinks anything of it. More thanthat—it is not at all unsettling but rather a comforting part of everydaylife in this part of the world. A fewweeks ago I was crossing King George Street and there was a young lady standingnext to me whose height stool significantly less than five feet tall but tuckedinto a small holster tied around her waist was a nice size but much simplerlooking hand gun.
I still cannot figure out who theseyoung people are in Israel who though they are out of uniform are authorizedand commissioned to carry guns. Onething is clear and that is that they do so not so much to protect themselvesbut rather all of us in the beautiful civilized environment if Israel that hasan unfortunate proclivity to a historical kind of violence.
Of course guns and the right to carryguns and buy inordinate amounts of ammunition is on our minds as we reflect onthe events of last week in Aurora, Colorado where 24-year-old James Holmesapparently went berserk and murdered twelve people sitting in a movie theater. He injured 40 others, six of which are stillin very critical condition in Colorado hospitals.
Holmes wasn't protecting anyone butwas rather collecting guns and buying ammunition as a manifestation of a desireto inflict harm on innocent people seeking entertainment or distractions on aweekend night. The events of last weekin Aurora defy comprehension and are difficult if not impossible to fathom.
The man with the gun in the theaterin Aurora and the young man or woman online for pizza in Jerusalem with a gunover his shoulder that is almost as large as them are contrasts or variationsof a theme. Guns can do terrible damageas well as protect us from harm. Somaybe the issue needs some refocusing. It's not so much about gun control of non-control, but rather aboutpeople control.

The metastatic microenvironment is receiving increasing attention as a target for new breast cancer therapies. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is a component of this microenvironment, and our recent studies indicated that SNS activity may support metastasis through beta-adrenergic pathways that recruit macrophages and induce a switch to pro-metastatic gene expression. Development of novel adjunctive therapeutic strategies that target neural regulation of metastasis requires characterization of the relationships between the SNS, the immune system and tumor cells. To address this need, the proposed studies utilize multimodal in vivo imaging techniques to address the following specific aims: 1. characterize SNS regulation of tumor cells in breast cancer metastasis, 2. characterize SNS regulation of tumor-associated macrophages in breast cancer metastasis, 3. characterize SNS regulation of the tumor microenvironment in breast cancer metastasis. These studies will define interactions between SNS nerve fibers, tumor cells and macrophages in the context of the tumor microenvironment and elucidate their collective effects on metastasis. Given recent clinical studies that suggest beta-blockade reduces breast cancer recurrence, the proposed studies are urgently needed to establish a mechanistic foundation for rapid translation of existing compounds (beta-blockers) and development of novel biomarkers of early cancer progression and new anti-metastatic strategies that target SNS regulation of the tumor microenvironment.
Metastasis is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in breast cancer. The studies described here evaluate the translational opportunity of targeting the sympathetic nervous system as a key regulator of pro-metastatic tumor-associated macrophages and tumor cell dissemination. These studies provide mechanistic foundation for development of novel anti-metastatic therapies that target neural regulation of the tumor microenvironment.

Two dinners in one day- 1st day in HK Part 2
This is the second part of my first day in Hong Kong with my sister- just to recap, we had 2 breakfasts and then skipped lunch. We then met up with UPL (Uncle Princess Leo), who flew in from Shanghai. My sis and I hadn't seen him for some time so it was cool to hang out with him for dinner. I call him UPL due to him being particular about how he consumes his food. He's very particular about the temperature of his food, so as to avoid food poisoning. However, due to my Asian heritage, I want to also respect him while teasing him, hence UPL. UPL chooses where to eat very carefully and tends to stick to a few trusty places that serve up good food really hot. His favourite in Hong Kong is hot pot, where food is cooked at boiling point.
UPL had a real craving for his usual roast meat. So at 10pm, we headed to one of his favourite haunts for our 2nd dinner. This place does not have an English signboard, but I think it's called " Happiness Tea House" if it was 'translated'. Those of you whose Mandarin is better please correct me! This place was packed and is a fine example of your regular noodle store in Hong Kong, serving up roasted meats, noodles and wantons.
We had roast duck, roasted pork and bowls of wonton noodles. It was very satisfying in taste and texture.
The wantons were absolutely scrumptious! The wonton wrappers were smooth, the pork was tender and the prawns crunchy. It was seasoned to perfection, yum! This meal is really what I love about Hong Kong, the convenience of good simple and tasty food.
Now, the reason why we had 2 dinners was not purely because we were greedy. We were unsatisfied from our 1st dinner. UPL really stepped out of his comfort zone when my sister and I persuaded him to try Trusty Congee King. I had read that their fish congee was really nice as it was flavoured with fish soup and the fish was cooked to perfection before being added to the porridge at the last moment. It came highly recommended but I was disappointed that the congee was served lukewarm and was not as smooth as others that I have eaten before. Neither did it have as much fish as described.
Other websites have spoken highly of Trusty Congee King, but it must have been just me that had an ordinary experience on that particular day. I hope that if you do try Trusty Congee King, that it'll be as good as others have described. What I think is really commendable is that their food is msg-free. The congee is served up with some crunchy dough fritters (yiu tiao) and some cold fish skin (eaten like jelly fish).

By: Oregon State Chamber of Commerce
What We See Coming Up (September 2015):
Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!
Now that the 2015 'long' legislative session is over, we turn our attention to the 'short' 2016 session.
The upcoming February 2016 legislative session is constitutionally limited to 35 calendar days. While initially envisioned as a short session needed to make mid-stream budget and policy adjustments, these new even-year short sessions have become a sprint to re-fight battles from the previous long session.
We will get a better sense of 2016 issues as the Legislature meets for short, three-day blocks of committee hearings in September and again in November. But in the meantime, there are a couple of big-ticket issues we can forecast now.
- Minimum Wage. We believe there will be another concerted effort in 2016 to pass a minimum wage increase along with legislation to allow local governments to increase their own minimum wage levels even higher. Last session, House Speaker Tina Kotek (D-Portland) sought legislation to increase the minimum wage to $13 per hour and allow for higher local minimum wages. There is every reason to believe a similar proposal will be back.
The politics of this issue are made complicated by several factors: (1) progressive activists do not want to see a minimum wage proposal less than $15 per hour, (2) some business groups are actively seeking a "compromise" that would increase the minimum wage up to $12 or more per hour, (3) there is a looming ballot measure that would increase the wage to $15 per hour, and (4) there is a critical mass of moderate democrats who do not want to see further cost mandates on small business in addition to the paid sick leave and retirement plan mandates already passed by the 2015 legislature.
- Corporate Tax Disclosure. There are strong indications that a corporate tax disclosure bill might be in the works again for 2016. Such a bill would require certain C corporations to disclose sensitive – and even proprietary – tax and business data to the Secretary of State to be posted on a public website. This bill is an attempt to politicize business tax returns.
Why do we suspect another effort to pass this bill? Because the lone Democrat on the House Revenue Committee who blocked this bill, Rep Tobias Read (D-Beaverton), was recently removed from the committee. Changes in committees are relatively rare between sessions. From a policy perspective, the only reason to replace Rep Read would be to pave the way for this legislation in the House. OSCC strongly opposes the required public disclosure of otherwise private business tax information.
In other news…
Tax Measures Appear Imminent. Oregon's government employee unions have filed five versions of a 2.5% gross receipts tax and two versions of a personal income tax increase for the November 2016 ballot. We expect them to move forward to qualify one of each, selecting the measures based upon their polling and political tactics.
Initial estimates from the Legislative Revenue Office indicate that these measures would raise personal income and business taxes by nearly $7 billion – or over 30 percent. To put this in context, the current state budget is roughly $19 billion. If voters approve these tax increases, the size of the state budget would increase more than one-third.
The proposed tax increases are 12 times larger than the Measure 66/67 tax increases passed by Oregon voters in 2010. Measures 66/67 raised taxes personal income and business taxes by $540 million.
The 2.5% gross receipts tax would apply to all business revenue above $25 million for Oregon C corporations. The measures are expected to raise taxes on C corporations by $5.5 billion per biennium. The unions have filed five different versions of this same concept.
On the personal income tax side (which would also affect business owners, S-Corps, Partnerships, and LLCs), Initiative 24 would raise the personal income tax rate to 10.8% for income above $125,000 and 11% for income above $250,000. Initiative 26 would raise the personal income tax rate to 11.5% for income over $125,000, 13.5% for income above $250,000 and 15.5% for income above $500,000.
If one of these initiatives passes, the individual owners of S-corporations, owners of limited liability companies and partners of partnerships operating in Oregon would experience a major increase in their Oregon income taxes of $1.25 billion.
One of the reasons why Measures 66/67 passed in 2010 is because Oregon's local chambers of commerce did not unify and speak out in opposition to those tax measures. Chambers of Commerce were largely silent.
Oregon's Chambers of Commerce should not make this mistake again.
Local chambers should take steps now to prepare for these measures by educating their members and preparing themselves and their members to be vocal opponents when these measures hit the ballot in November 2016.

I've been doing an exhaustive examination of the available publicly traded debt from US corporations. I am specifically looking for debt that has maturity lengths of between 2-8 years, and the underlying issuer is relatively solvent. The actual parameters I used for the screen I'll leave aside, but there were a lot of issuers to do some quick research on to see whether they were worth further investigation.
The "relatively solvent" criterion allows me to exclude companies that are basically operating entities that are encumbered with a gigantic amount of debt relative to tangible book value. These entities typically exhibit goodwill and intangibles far in excess of what the stated equity is, which means that the entity was likely a result of a previous leveraged buyout or some sort of financial restructuring to extract the maximum capital of the entity.
A good example of this is Toys R Us, a completely leveraged mess of a financial entity as a result of a leveraged buyout years ago. If you like anti-depressants, please take them while you read their last quarterly report. I would not go anywhere near their unsecured debt. Somehow this entity actually warrants a market value of an 11% yield to maturity on their 2-year debt. Amazing.
I am not interested in these entities unless if they were generating a sufficient amount of cash in relation to their debt, and in most cases they do not. This means that refinancing risk is going to be crucial for these entities – while today they might get the financing, tomorrow they might not. It is at those moments where an investor will make the optimal risk/return ratio. Today an investment will just result in a mediocre risk/return.
There were a lot of offshore drillers that are clearly in trouble, and a lot of energy-related entities in trouble. In general, I am not interested in these (in addition to having enough exposure to energy bonds via Teekay debt).
Finally, anything that did seem to be a reasonable candidate had a chart resembling this:
I picked Titan International (NYSE: TWI) just as an example and not something I am interested in purchasing (at current prices). It is an automobile parts manufacturing company and is fairly easy to analyze – $200 million cash in the bank, a $60 million debt issue due in January 2017 that they will pay off, and $400 million due October 2020 (which you see in the chart above). The coupon is 6.875% and the debt is senior secured, and trades at a YTM of about 8.5% at present. The corporation in the first half of this year generated about $11.6 million in free cash flow. Historically they seem to be a cash generation vehicle for management teams.
It doesn't take a Ph.D in finance to realize that they will likely have to refinance the debt when it comes to maturity in four years. They will probably be able to do this, but who knows?
This same bond traded at nearly a 19% YTM back in February when the whole market was going haywire.
Just because the bond is trading at higher levels (lower yields) doesn't mean that they are valuable today. But if you did buy today you'll get a high single digit return in the compensation for the risk that you'll be dealing with the Chapter 11 proceedings of an auto parts manufacturer that doesn't have the capacity to generate a huge amount of cash in a very low-margin industry.
Is it worth 19% to take this risk? Absolutely. Is it worth 8.5%? Probably not. Today you can get that debt for about 94 cents on the dollar, but if you got the same debt for 80 cents a year from now, you will get a much better return (assuming the aforementioned default does not occur).
The other question I ask myself is whether we'll likely see something in the next couple years that will resemble a bond refinancing crisis. While the future is always difficult to predict, there will always be something that will cause panic in credit – and it is in these times that one must dive in deep, just like I did back in January and February.
There are numerous examples like this littered in the bond markets today – lots of mediocre companies with bonds trading at single digit yields to maturity. Even worse are the over-leveraged messes that are just asking for recapitalization when the market sneezes.
So overall, the pickings of my bond market research have been very slim.
The results are quite depressing – out of looking at approximately a hundred issuers, I'm only interested in doing a deep research session on one corporation. Also, my initial take on this entity wouldn't be for their debt – it would be an equity investment. My initial instinct says that their equity could double in a year, while their debt yields 7.6%. I'm eager to start the research process.
Looking at this whole exercise, I realize this following statement might be the biggest piece of confirmation bias about my own portfolio, I believe the pieces of corporate debt that I currently own represents the best risk/reward available on the publicly traded markets today. I just don't see anything else out there worth putting capital in the corporate debt markets. It's a classic case of doing a lot of work but achieving no tangible results for the portfolio.

The ultimate binary pixel sensor may be a step closer to reality. Rambus, a major intellectual property company, announced what may eventually be licensed to sensor and/or camera makers: binary pixels.
Binary pixel technology produces professional quality images by capturing details in the full spectrum of a scene — from brightest highlights to the darkest shadows. The sensor is optimized at the pixel level to deliver DSLR-level dynamic range from mobile and consumer cameras.
The ultimate binary pixel sensor is, of course, the Quanta Image Sensor (QIS) where each bit is a photoelectron. According to Dr. Eric Fossum, inventor of the CMOS active pixel sensor and a driving force behind QIS, the Rambus simulations show that even before then, binary pixels are pretty interesting when the sampling rate is high enough.
How are binary pixels different from sensors we use today? Rambus:
While the resolution and frame rates supported by mainstream mobile cameras have continued to improve, enhancements in image quality are lagging. High contrast scenes typical in daily life, such as bright landscapes, sunset portraits and scenes with both sunlight and shadow, are difficult to capture with today's small sensors — the range of bright and dark details in these scenes simply exceeds the limited dynamic range of mainstream CMOS imagers.
The Rambus binary pixel technology mimics the brilliance of human visual processing by sensing photons using discrete thresholds similar to the rods and cones of the human eye. This "binary operation" creates dramatically better videos and photos from mobile and consumer devices that include the full gamut of details in dark and bright intensities.
The complete scene data enables more creative post-processing and color enhancement capabilities resulting in more "keeper" images and videos that showcase life as it was meant to be seen.
Operating in a single exposure period at high speed frame rates, binary pixel imagers capture HDR images in real-time with on-the-fly processing, enabling handheld photo and video capabilities with zero post-capture processing.
Temporal oversampling technology improves the sensor's signal-to-noise performance in low light conditions to reduce noise and graininess for better indoor and night-time photography.
Patented Rambus binary pixel imagers, we're promised, fit in a comparable form factor, cost and power envelope as today's CMOS imagers. They are designed to be integrated in existing system-on-chip (SoC) architectures and can be manufactured using current CMOS image sensor technology.
Now must imagine a full-frame binary pixel imager…

If we are referring to the first preliminary green screenplay (4-23-52) for the movie "Houdini" starring Tony Curtis, then the answer is, YES.
As a result of the blow (i.e., punch) described in Part 1, Houdini is in bad shape when he goes on stage a little later that evening to do his most hazardous escape — the water cell:
As he is placed in the water cell upside down, he sees the grotesque Halloween costumes and masks of some of the children in the packed audience and his face shows fear as he realizes it is Halloween night.
The curtains are drawn across the cell at the regularly allotted time. Bess apprehensively signals Otto who whips the curtain aside, discovers Houdini lying unconscious, and quickly smashes the glass with an axe…
Bess is beside the dying Houdini in ambulance. His voice is barely audible as he says, "I'll come back, Bess — I'll find a way — " Bess nods through her tears…
It is Halloween night, 1936, and Bess and Sydney arrive at the abandoned Houdini house. For the past nine years on the anniversary of Houdini's death, Bess has come here to see if he could contact her. She promised him to try for ten years before giving up and tonight is to be the last attempt.
Bess and Sydney wait patiently in Houdini's study which has kept intact. Midnight comes and again nothing has happened. Sydney is urging the intense Bess to leave when suddenly she hears the Hungarian waltz. A beatific look comes over her face, and Sydney, hearing nothing is puzzled. Bess sways to the music and moves over to a faded poster. It reads Schultz Dime Museum and shows a picture of Houdini at the age of twenty, wearing is ill-fitting dress suit and pulling a rabbit out of a silk hat. The music swells to a crescendo…. [Screenplay read and summarized by Dorothy Harrington, 4-30-52]
If we are referring to the final version of the Tony Curtis movie (1953), then the answer is NO.
It went down like this:
Houdini is lying down in his dressing room, and winces, when Otto touches his stomach.
Otto: "Still hurts you there doesn't?"
Houdini: "It's alright."
Otto: "You should have had that taken care of a long time ago."
Houdini: "It's nothing, it comes and goes."
Otto: "I think it is your appendix"
Houdini: "Since when have you been practicing medicine?"
Otto: "You don't have to be a doctor to know that something is wrong"
Houdini: "Alright I will have it looked at as soon as we finish the tour"
Later that evening, Houdini performs the Barrel Escape and the Steel Strait-Jacket Escape, but the audience wants more; they want the Torture Cell.
Houdini goes into his dressing room to prepare for the Torture Cell when he accidentally bumps his stomach against the handle of a sword protruded from a sword box illusion. He is in obvious pain.
He enters the Pagoda Torture Cell. Houdini passes the time-limit and the cabinet is broken open, flooding the stage. Houdini is still hanging in the cabinet, unconscious.
Bess is then seen beside the dying Houdini on stage. He regains consciousness long enough to promise her that he will come back to her, he will find a way somehow.
We then hear the Hungarian Waltz and fade to a poster that reads Schultz Dime Museum and shows a picture of Houdini at the age of twenty, wearing is ill-fitting dress suit and pulling a rabbit out of a silk hat. The music swells to a crescendo… The End
According to the man (Jon Oliver) that currently sleeps in Houdini's bed: It is believed that they changed the movies ending from Houdini getting punched to him dying in the cell because the lawyers at Paramount did not want to get a law suit since the students were still alive. For another reason the ending could have changed, check out A New Twist on The End of Houdini by Tony Curtis.
If we are referring to how Houdini died in real life WRT the Houdini death blow (i.e., punch), then you will need to talk to Houdini's Ghost (Patrick Culliton) or The Female Houdini (Dorothy Dietrich) for an answer and rethink the rethinking on the Houdini punch.

Disclosure: I received this product in exchange for a review. The opinions are all 100% my own and may differ from yours.
Kaboom Entertainment has many great kids movies. My children love many of the movies they carry. We recently started watching Zack & Quack. My kids have really grown to love this show, especially my youngest daughter Tesla. She always wants to watch this show when it's on.
Recently I was provided with the DVD Zack & Quack Popping Hopping Easter to review. This DVD includes the following episodes:
- Zack and Quack's Pop-Up Circus
- The Poppy-Up Flower
- Popping Hopping Hiccups
- The Poparang 3000
- The Pop-Up Easter Egg Hunt
Zack is a boy who has a best friend named Quack who is a duck. Quack doesn't talk, but everyone understands him when he does his quacking. Kira is also their friend who can fix anything with a little paper and glue. This is set inside a pop-up book, so it's a very different show for children to love.
The Pop-Up Easter Egg Hunt was our favorite episode. I'm sure it's because this one was all about Easter and the Easter bunny. In this episode Zack has to help out the Easter bunny. If they don't get all the chocolate chickens back to the coop, then Easter will be ruined. Do you think they'll be able to save Easter?
Since this movie has an Easter episode in it, it would make a great gift for any child in their Easter basket. I'm sure my youngest daughter, Tesla would love to wake up and find this in her Easter basket.
This movie will be available to purchase on March 10th. Check out Kaboom Entertainment on Facebook and Twitter.

Product Description
What is the purpose of the baptism in the Holy Spirit?
Do believers who are not Spirit-filled have the Holy Spirit?
What does it mean to "walk in the Spirit?"
In his book The Spirit Within & the Spirit Upon: The Holy Spirit's Twofold Work for the Believer, Kenneth E. Hagin answers these questions and others. He clearly shows that the work of the Holy Spirit does not end when a person is baptized into Christ, or born again. Another experience awaits the believer to bring him into a deeper dimension spiritually. That experience is the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
Rev. Hagin shows from the Bible that the New Birth and the baptism in the Holy Spirit are two separate and distinct works of the Spirit of God. Rev. Hagin also explains the purpose for this twofold work. The Spirit works within the believer after the New Birth to develop character, and the Spirit works upon the believer after the baptism in the Holy Spirit to empower the Christian for service.
Chapter titles include:
• The Dual Working of the Holy Spirit
• A Deeper Dimension
• The Importance of Walking in Love
• The Dwelling Places of the Spirit
• Suffering Unto Perfection
The Spirit Within & The Spirit Upon

Publisher: Join me in saluting AJC Cup winners
Dear Readers:
I'm pleased to announce the 2016 winners of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Cup. These young men and women represent the best of a young generation just coming up. They are evidence that the future is in good hands.
The AJC Cup is one of the oldest news organization award programs in the country. Since 1927, the AJC has proudly recognized generations of top Georgia high school students. They are selected for this honor by their school's faculty and administration. Schools base their decisions on academic excellence, leadership, community service and extra-curricular involvement. The award is presented during a senior event or at graduation.
Now I'm excited for the young people you'll read about today. Please join me in saluting them – as well as the families, teachers and communities that have helped and supported them along the way.

You farmers are well aware that not much grows in the Columbia Basin without water. Now you dry land wheat farmers are shaking your heads, but you'll have to admit that crop choices are very limited without irrigation. Irrigation is so needed that we spend much of our time installing and upgrading irrigation for local farmers. We work with all the different contractors so that you only have to work with one!
C&E does many types of irrigation projects.
Orchards and Vineyards:
When installing orchard or vineyard irrigation, each customer wants something different. We find that some owners just want us to install the main lines and they will install the rest of the system. However, some of our farmers want the whole thing installed so that they don't have to mess with any part of the irrigation. They want the pleasure of turning it on and having it work, not sweating over the details. So whether it's the bare bones infrastructure or the whole package, we are ready to complete the job right!
Farm Land and Circles:
For replacements, repairs and upgrades, C&E Trenching is ready to work. We install and replace water Irrigation Circlemains and pressure mains. We routinely work with our local irrigation businesses to facilitate circle installations. Together we make sure projects are installed correctly and timely. Thinking of adding a circle swing span? Our wire plowing option will minimize crop damage and get the swing span on the right path. Whether you need a 6 inch trench or a 5 foot trench, we have the equipment that best matches your project needs.
Practically every farm has at least one irrigation pond. Ponds are very important and need to be dependable all season. Our crew is ready to build or maintain your pond. We have experience with many types of pond and pump installation, and complete each according to every customer's unique situation.


text: Welcome to our wedding website! We are excited to celebrate this special time with all of you as you have played some sort of significant role in our lives up to this point. We hope you find all of the wedding day information needed on this website. Cheers! Love, Jordan and Kyle.

The City's Rangers are employed to enforce the local parking laws to support community safety, ensure everyone can access where they need to go, and to protect the environment. The City actively promotes safe and legal parking through enforcement and education programs.
Illegal verge parking or over-staying time limits is a strong focus for our Rangers. It is important for everyone to abide by the law, pay attention to signage and display permits correctly at all times. Vehicles parked on the road must not be parked against the flow of traffic or obstruct pedestrian access ways and footpaths. And remember to plan ahead for parking on weekends and at major events.
Appropriate signs throughout the City clearly indicate parking restrictions, including time limitations, which must be obeyed. Breaches of parking restrictions are monitored and enforced by Ranger Services and parking officers and can attract on-the-spot fines.
Rockingham City Shopping Centre is a Parking Station under Council's Parking Local Law. Sign-posted restrictions apply in this area. Security staff at the centre have the authority to issue fines for unauthorised parking in a disabled bay.
If you have received an infringement for a traffic offence and believe you have grounds to appeal you may do so via our infringements appeal online form.
Local Rangers undertake regular high visibility patrols around all of Rockingham's schools. By abiding with the City's Local Parking Laws, parents are ensuring the safety of children. An updated Smart Parking poster with useful information specifically targeted to schools is available to download below.
The irresponsible use of trail bikes is an issue of public safety and can be a nuisance to residents and landowners. Trail bikes can also have a significant damaging effect on the local environment so therefore trail bikes and off road vehicles should only be used in a safe and responsible law-abiding manner.
Trail bikes and other off road vehicles are also not permitted to be used on vacant land within the City of Rockingham. However they may be used on private property with the consent of the owner.
back to top
Owners of vehicles cannot display their vehicles for sale on road or street verges as this practice makes areas unsightly and can obstruct the vision of pedestrians and other road users. The distraction of other drivers poses a significant road safety concern so therefore rangers may issue an on-the-spot fine of $65 (as of 13/08/07) for illegal verge sales. Police may also issue fines under the Road Traffic Act.
The irresponsible use of trail bikes is an issue of public safety and can be a nuisance to residents and landowners. Trail bikes can also have a significant damaging effect on the local environment so therefore trail bikes and off-road vehicles should only be used in a safe and responsible law-abiding manner.
There is no off-road vehicle area located in Rockingham.
Trail bikes and other off-road vehicles are not permitted to be used on public land within the City of Rockingham.
Driving or parking a vehicle on any beach in Rockingham is prohibited absolutely. When using a boat ramp facility a vehicle must not remain on a beach and be moved to a parking area once it has unloaded or loaded a boat or ski.
Infringement penalties apply for illegal off-road vehicle activity and driving or parking on a beach.
To report an abandoned vehicle please contact the City on 9528 0333.
For all enquiries relating to a Ranger or local laws please phone 9528 0333.
Ranger Services are available seven days a week (excluding Christmas Day and Good Friday) between the hours of 7am and 6.30pm.
For enquiries outside of business hours, please leave a detailed message with the City's after-hour service and a Ranger will be in contact at the earliest convenience the following day.

AbstractNot Available Optical storage systems and memories are emerging rapidly as a solution to address the next generation requirement of high data-density and fast access time, and have created demand for high-speed and large-volume data handling interconnects between optical memory devices and processors. Electrical interconnects fail to keep up with this new demand due to their basic limitations. Optical interconnects and devices inherently offer large bandwidth and hence high-speed operation. Radiant Research, Inc., proposes to construct a multi-wavelength-based interconnect for interfacing optical memories and processors using guided-wave technology in conjunction with VCSELs, Photodiodes, wavelength division (de)multiplexing (W(D)DM) devices and multimode fibers. Employment of the WDDM device significantly increases the aggregate bandwidth to well above 10 Gb/sec while minimizing the latency of data transfer. Furthermore, the employment of an innovative three-dimensionally-tapered waveguide will significantly reduce the system insertion loss and thus achieve high fidelity of data transmission. Experimental result shows that each WDDM wavelength channel can provide 2,500 Gb/sec. Consequently, the projected target of throughput enhancement will be achieved. Important benefits of this approach are significantly improved device performance in the context of data transfer for 3D-optical memory, relaxed fabrication tolerance and reduced cost.
