A 3-year-old boy plunged to his death from a 13th-story window Sunday after he pushed out a window guard at a Harlem housing project.
Around 7 p.m.,Latyr Senefell from his parents' apartment inthe Harlem River Houses II complex onFrederick Douglass Boulevard and 152nd Street, according to police. Sene landed on the ground below, and was rushed to the hospital incardiac arrest. He was pronounced dead on arrival at 7:30 p.m., police said.
Witnesses told Channel 4 that they saw the boy in the window before the fall.
"The boy was laying on the ground in the dirt. Just still. He fell. We heard the big bang, and we looked outside the window. He was on the ground," witness Annette Aiken told NBC New York.
"It was very loud and I thought the air conditioner fell, but it wasn't the air conditioner. It was the boy hitting the air conditioner on the way down," Aiken, 47, told the New York Daily News.
Sources told the New York Post that bars were supposed to be secured in place outside the window. But the bars were loose, and the boy had easily pushed them to the ground. According to the Daily Mail, someone in the apartment moved an air conditioning unit and failed to screw the barsback in properly.
The boy's parentshave been identified as African immigrants. They were taken away by an EMS supervisor after an ambulance carrying their son left. According to the Daily Mail, they have since been taken to the NYPD's 32ndPrecinct, but have not been charged.
It's unclear what the parentswere doing at the time of the fall.
Renee, a ninth-floor resident, told the Post that the boy's mother, Annette,came running outside with Latyr's twin brother after learning what happened.
"The mother had the other twin in her arm," she said. "My knees buckled. I couldn't bear to look out the window. I ran downstairs [and] the fire department was trying to revive him and I just totally lost it."

CebuPac passengers may refund unused terminal fee from MIAA
By Ma. Cristina
CEB remitted more than PHP245 million to MIAA on Thursday for the unrefunded terminal fees (or passenger service charge) of the unused tickets or unflown passengers during the said travel period.
In an interview with the Philippine News Agency (PNA), MIAA Media Affairs Division head Jess Martinez said that MIAA does not require airlines to remit the unrefunded terminal fees.
"It's the airline's initiative, and CEB is the first carrier who did this," he said.
In a statement, MIAA General Manager Ed Monreal thanked the CEB for its initiative, and expressed his hope that the other airlines would follow this move.
Martinez clarified that the amount will not go to MIAA's fund. "This will be placed in an account, and passengers can refund their terminal fees any day they can, even after five years," he said.
He noted that passengers must be able to show proof that they have unused CEB tickets for the said travel period.
"The terminal fee won't expire and they can refund this from MIAA any day. For example, an overseas Filipino worker (OFW) who flew and wasn't able to refund the terminal fee, he or she may do so once he or she gets back," he said.
Passengers who wish to refund the terminal fee may go to the MIAA Collection Division during business hours. They must bring with them their ticket with record locator, and a valid ID.
According to MIAA, the remitted amount covers the unrefunded terminal fees of 212,100 international passengers and 892,800 domestic passengers of CEB.
The terminal fee for international flights was first integrated in the airline tickets in February 2015, while the integration in the domestic flights tickets started in August 2012. (PNA)

Planning a fantastic company party, to celebrate a year of success or just to thank staff for all their hard work, doesn't come without its fair share of planning, organising and creative thinking. If you are looking to create the best company party yet, follow our tips on how to guarantee that your next company jolly goes with a bang.
Call in the Pros
If you don't have a specific event planning team or department within your company then you are definitely going to want to call on the expertise of a Corporate Event Hire and organisation company. The world of corporate events is much more complicated than we give it credit for, so if you are a novice at company parties you are definitely going to want to bring in the big guns so they can show you how it's done.
Corporate event organisers will be able to work with you to secure the venue and all the other important details from the musicians, caterers, the venue decoration and all the logistics that surround a big company event. As so much planning and precision goes into organising a top-notch company party, there really is no better way to ensure the night goes without a hitch than to organise a reputable, reliable and well respected event management company in your local area.
Whether you decide to hire a pro, or whether you feel you are fit to take on the task yourself, you are going to want to get all your initial ideas down on paper. First things first, you need to conceptualise your ideas and the kind of event you are looking to organise. Whether it is a themed party, a team-building afternoon out of the office or a launch event, you are going to want to start by listing down all your ideas, detailing all the things that you would like and need to include, from food, music transport.
Is it very easy to burn through money when planning company parties and events. So setting a budget, and sticking to that budget, as much as possible it really important. Start with your overall budget and then start dividing it up into all the different areas of the event, based on the list you have made above. If your budget won't quite stretch as far as you would like you will want to see what areas you can try and cut back a little and see where you can save some money, for example the mode of transportation, to invest it in other more important areas, for example the food.
Food & Party Details
Whether you are working with a party planner or organising this by yourself you will want to be there at the meetings with the venue, caterers and any other important meetings about the event. You will need to go through the different packages available for menus, alcohol, whilst not forgetting the other details such as musicians, bands, DJ's, table decoration and the overall theme for the venue.

First off I want to thank Sheritha for letting me stop by today! She is such a doll to invite me over to explain the inspiration behind my latest release, Looted.
I have loved Greek and Roman mythology since I was a child, same goes for art of almost any kind. And that is the very beginning of my latest release, Looted, which is going to become a series entitled Gods Behaving Badly. This series is my imaging what the gods and goddesses of old are doing in today's world, a world where no one believes in them anymore. I am hoping that these stories will not only be fun for me to write, but also fun for my readers.
Now Looted is the first in the series and it follows Sophia, once called Aphrodite, in today's world. The inspiration for this particular story came about from two different sources, one was the fact that I was reading a lot of real life art heist stories at the moment, from Rembrandt thefts to museums in Turkey being looted of their goods. That's when an art heist theme started to sounds good to me. And let's face it, if gods and goddesses lived today I would assume they would want to live a certain lifestyle and not do a lot of work for said lifestyle. I was also inspired by Robert de Niro and Al Pacino movie Heat. In it Pacino plays a detective and de Niro a theif. At one point they sit together and have a very amiable conversation and you can see the mutual respect for each other. And that is where the second part of Looted came together. Two people on opposite sides of the law with such a mutual attraction that they can't ignore it. Sure, Sophia and Detective Stoker take it further than Pacino and de Niro did (sadly they did not even make out in the movie), but the same idea that people on opposite sides of the law can still have a spark between them.
So that's really it, Looted is a combination of my love of mythology and art, combined with my love of movies and bam… art heist romance with the goddess of love! Makes sense to me! And as a little celebration of this release, I am having a giveaway of one of my previous Secret Cravings Publishing titles, Music and Awakening! One lucky commenter today will win!
Sophia longs for the days when she was worshipped as a goddess and celebrated for her glory. Now she hides in plain sight and does what she must to keep the lifestyle she is accustomed. She has never been close to discovery until one New York City Detective, Bruce Stoker, enters the picture. Now all that she is and has done could come out into the open and destroy everything. She should disappear, but there is something different about this man that draws her to him.
Detective Bruce Stoker has never had an unsolved case, but there is something different about these art heists. Money is taken, but art is given to museums. Strange. If he can find the beautiful woman who seems to be the common link, then everything should be simple. That is what he thought at least until he met the gorgeous suspect in question.
Bruce sat in the lounge. Another night, another expensive bar. He didn't think his NYPD salary would take much more of this side investigation, but he knew that he was on the right track. Now he just needed to find his mystery beauty, then the real investigation could begin. He had sent out feelers to every host of the finer bars, restaurants and hotels in town, hoping to find a woman to match the description he had. Needless to say there were a lot of gorgeous women in Manhattan and he had spent more time and money than he cared to think about chasing models and actresses.
This was his last tip and his wallet thanked him. If this didn't pan out, well then back to the drawing board. The fellows back at the station were already making fun of him for searching for a "Model Ring of Thieves," but they all also knew his hunches always paid off. Could this be the first time he was actually wrong?
Suddenly he felt a hot tingle running down his spine, something more than his "spidey sense" the guys joked about. This was a first. His entire being seemed to be heating up from the inside. It was not unpleasant, but it certainly left him feeling confused. He turned around and saw her walking into the lounge. He had seen the best-looking women Manhattan had to offer over the past few weeks, but none of them could compare to this creature. As he stared, she turned toward him and gave a start, a look of surprise quickly passing over her face before she resumed her beautiful perfection. This was the woman he had been searching for.
Sheri Velarde, who sometimes uses the pen name Kelly Ryan, lives in New Mexico and grew up with a fascination for all things that "go bump in the night", so it is no wonder that she turned to writing paranormal romance. In her spare time, she fancies herself a cryptozoologist and loves to paranormal related outings, searching for things that might not really exist. She is an avid exerciser and gets some of her best ideas while on runs. She also has a bit of a wild side, which only leads to inspiration for her writing.
Being an avid reader since an early age, she has wanted to be a writer for as long as she can remember. She has been writing all her life, but only recently started to actually try to pursue her dream of writing for a living.
She is constantly putting out new material, so it is best to keep up with her on her website.

Roundup #13: Boost Your eCommerce Traffic by Preparing for the Holiday Season NowSeptember 6, 2017 - Milen Vasilev
Successful eCommerce is all about attracting traffic to your store site, especially during the holidays. But to do that, you have to prep now to be ready in time for November.
Staying current on eCommerce news will help you do just that, and we want to help! Every month, we look at the news and deliver you summaries of eCommerce happenings that you can use to help boost your business.
Read on and gain a competitive edge in boosting your eCommerce traffic during the holidays while you still have time to implement the changes you need.
1. Prep for Black Friday 2017: About 10 Million More Americans Shopped Online Than in Stores Over Black Friday Weekend
Roughly 99.1 million people went to a brick-and-mortar store on Black Friday, but around 108.5 million shoppers preferred to stay home and shop online. These numbers are significant because, in 2015, they were almost even.
In other words, if you didn't offer Black Friday deals this past November, you should have. And you should definitely make plans to do so for Black Friday 2017 – only 2 months away! In addition, don't just advertise special promotions; look at upgrading your shopping app, improving your shopping cart and expanding pickups for eCommerce orders. All of these things take time to plan and execute by November.
2. Launch at the Right Time: Handbag Designer Lee Savage on Launching Her Luxury eCommerce Site
As eCommerce becomes more and more ubiquitous, brands need to do what they can to connect with consumers. Today's online shopping site needs more than just the basic functionality that lets customers buy online. Use your website to control your brand story as well as your merchandising, and launch when the market's hot.
Also, don't be afraid to use the knowledge you gain from customer behavior on your site, such as what your customers are looking for, the demographics of those shoppers and the types of things to which they respond.
3. If You Mess Up, Work on Damage Control: Macy's Website Suffers Disruptions on Critical Shopping Day
Can your website keep up with the larger number of visitors expected in 2017? 2016's holiday season saw several website disruptions. Even big retailers like Macy's experienced major delays on their websites, prompting pages that explained the sites were undergoing maintenance. Most attempted to solve the issue by extending their Black Friday sale prices, but some retailers, like JCPenney, didn't experience a single disruption in service.
But consumers want solutions, not a weak, overloaded eCommerce site. Consumers are getting impatient with websites who can't keep up with online demands, and they will leave your site if you don't keep up. According to SOASTA, the target load time to prevent cart abandonment for mobile sites is just 2 seconds, down from 2.4 seconds last year. Spend time making sure your site is up to those standards.
Do you need help fixing your product photos before the Black Friday rush?

Executive Search and Recruitment (hiring) are core functions of human resource management. They are the first step of appointment. They refer to the overall process of attracting, selecting and appointing suitable candidates for jobs (either permanent or temporary) within an organization.
Sourcing is the use of one or more strategies to attract or identify candidates to fill job vacancies. It may involve internal and/or external advertising, using appropriate media, such as job portals, local or national newspapers, social media, business media, professional publications, job centers, or in a variety of ways via the internet, but most importantly first hand relations and word of mouth combined with deep intuition and people knowlege.
We at Persia Consulting do have extensive knowledge and references with multinationals and international firms in Iran. From C-level executive search to the recruitment of specialized workforce.
Since the JCPOA in January 2016 our HR-Department has shown steady growth due to the ever increasing need for suitable human resources, capable enough to cope with an international working environment, bringing good foreign language capabilities along with an appropriate work habit. Each of the criteria can be challenging in a country with a high number of well educated, but not well trained young and motivated population. Here is where the expertise of our professional team will make you benefit.
In addition we do offer solutions to retain staff and develop and train them to develop a successful organization.

Job No.: 599457
Location: Caulfield campus
Employment Type: Full-time
Duration: 12-month Fixed-term appointment
Remuneration: $97,203 - $115,429 pa Level B (plus 9.5% Employer Superannuation)
Everyone needs a platform to launch a satisfying career. At Monash, we give you space and support to take your career in all kinds of exciting new directions. You'll have access to quality research, infrastructure, and learning facilities, opportunities to collaborate internationally, as well as the grants you'll need to publish your work. We're a university full of energetic and enthusiastic minds, driven to challenge what's expected, expand what we know, and learn from other inspiring, empowering thinkers.
The Opportunity
The internationally-recognised dynamism of the city of Melbourne is built upon its vibrant cultures of art, design, and architecture. This can be seen in the city's array of significant collecting and exhibiting institutions, its lively calendar of cultural events, and the richness and diversity of its creative practitioners. In this environment, the Monash Faculty of Art, Design, and Architecture (MADA) is an open and connected community of strategic and creative thinkers, practitioners and students who advocate the critical role of creative practice for quality of life. We seek to dissolve the boundaries between disciplines to create a new space for envisaging the possibilities of an ethical, sustainable, inclusive future for all.
The Department of Architecture at MADA is an internationally networked, creative community of practitioners, educators and researchers engaged with the shifting landscapes of the discipline, and the changing role of the architect as a designer, researcher, and advocate: as both persuasive collaborator and visionary mediator. In its first eleven years, the department has achieved an enviable reputation for the high quality of its professional degree program and a clear path of design-based research. As a young program, Architecture at MADA has sought to progressively reformulate architectural education to address the challenges of a rapidly changing world, most urgently in the context of the current climate change emergency.
In light of this, we seek innovative practitioners and academics from around the world to collaborate with us in our teaching and research programmes. Our interest in innovation is not a pursuit of uniqueness, novelty or avant-garde status, but sees innovation as a foundation for advocating alternatives and cultivating imagination, to provide visions, strategies, techniques and approaches to addressing our evolving built environments. For this reason, we periodically advertise the role of Innovation Fellow, the thematic focus of which changes with each call.
In 2020, we are particularly interested in projects centrally motivated by environmental sustainability in architecture and the built environment. Given this, we are particularly interested in studies of digital design and fabrication, and advanced approaches to architectural structure and construction with awareness of their implications for both the production and occupation of the built environment.
We are also specifically interested in projects which utilise our state-of-the-art studio and workshop facilities. The faculty has a remarkably well-equipped suite of spaces that enable a full range of techniques from traditional to high-tech – from bronze and glass casting to printmaking, to digital fabrication and architectural robotics. Teaching and research projects which propose applied, interdisciplinary use of the workshops, will be well-regarded. More information on the workshops can be found at https://www.monash.edu/mada/current-students/facilities.
The one-year fellowship involves the pursuit of a clearly articulated research project in combination with research-led teaching. Fellows will be expected to run a design studio each semester and at least one advanced architectural elective ('studies unit').
Candidates must have at least a Master of Architecture degree or equivalent.
The fellowship is available to begin in July 2020 and includes:
Candidates are expected to be in residence in Melbourne during the fellowship. If you are not already eligible to work in Australia, you will need to obtain and maintain a valid visa from the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) allowing you to work at Monash University in Australia
For further reference see the architecture project page and the call for studio proposals
Applications are due by January 20, 2020 and should be compiled into a single PDF (maximum 15MB) including:
Short-listed applicants will be invited to a skype/phone interview in early to mid February 2020.
This role is a full-time position; however, flexible working arrangements may be negotiated.
At Monash University, we are committed to being a Child Safe organisation. This position at the University will require the incumbent to hold a valid Working with Children Check.

New Starts and Enhancements: 2019
Every spring, the Board for Home Missions (BHM) and the BHM Executive Committee prioritize requests for new missions and ministry enhancements. In 2019, 16 requests were received. Due to declining Congregational Mission Offerings (CMO), fewer designated gifts to Home Missions, and higher than expected funding requests from current home mission churches, the BHM was only able to approve financial support for one new start and one ministry enhancement. Two other new starts were approved with financial support coming from other avenues for the coming two fiscal years.
2019 Home Missions New Starts:
- Houston, Tex. – A dedicated group of core members from other WELS churches around Houston are starting their new mission "inside the loop" of Interstate 610. This urban neighborhood is seeing a resurgence in popularity as people are looking to be closer to the city center.
2019 Home Missions – Unsubsidized:
- Folsom, Calif. – St. Mark's, Citrus Heights, is daughtering a new congregation called Foundation Lutheran Church in Folsom, a growing community in the greater Sacramento area. A generous WELS donor has come forward to help support this new mission.
- Wesley Chapel, Fla. – A nearby WELS church is closing, but members are committed to starting a new home mission in this promising community, using the funds made available from the sale of the other church property.
2019 Home Missions Enhancements:
- Martin Luther Lutheran Church, Oshkosh, Wis. – For over 35 years, Martin Luther, WELS Campus Ministry, and other local WELS congregations have supported a campus ministry at the Rising Son Ministry Center on the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh campus. In partnership with Martin Luther financial support, reserve funds have been allocated by the Campus Ministry Committee to help support a third pastor at Martin Luther. The pastor will serve half-time at Martin Luther and half-time at Rising Son Campus Ministry.
Consider supporting this mission field with your prayers and your gifts.

Week of September 23, 2019
MDTP (Mathematics Diagnostic Testing Project)
This past week students District-wide took the MDTP (a computerized math test) to provide teachers with feedback about where students' are with their math skills. (For example, seventh graders took the test that determines readiness for eighth grade math. This test uses around 40 questions to assess their seventh grade math skills). Results will be sent home this week.
Fifth graders took this same test in the spring, which was part of the criteria used for math placement this year. Eighth graders will take the MDTP (different versions) in January to help determine their high school math placement, so this was good practice for them to get used to what this test looks like.
Back To School Night
Thank you for joining us at Back To School Night. We had a great turnout! There were several hundred parents and many rooms were packed. A lot of parents shared how much fun they had at Back To School Night, which was really nice to hear. Some of you voiced some constructive feedback about some staff. I have already shared that with those staff members or will this week. I encourage you to be in communication with your student's teachers throughout the year.
Below you will find the presentation administrators delivered in the gym. Many of you have asked about State testing results. They were not mailed out by the District like in the past. They can be found in PowerSchool this year. Directions are in this presentation. Also, most of our teachers are using Google classroom, so there are instructions in here as well on how you can access teachers' Google Classroom so you can monitor your student's assignments. You do need your student's login information, so please ask your student. We can also provide this information to you as well if you can't get it from your student.
Reminder About Super Early Dismissal on Thursday, October 3
Thursday, October 3, is super early dismissal at 11:45 am for all sites in Redwood City for staff professional development. We included it on the calendar that went out in the back to school packet, but my guess is many of you overlooked it or have forgotten already, so I want to make sure it is on your radar.

International Walk To School Day
International Walk to School Day will take place on Wednesday, October 2nd in the morning. Prizes and other goodies will be given to students who walk and/or bike to school on this day.
Students, small groups, or classrooms can participate in the Walk and Roll to School Poster Contest. Winning entries will be made into posters that will be shared countywide!
Walk and Bike to School Day events raise awareness of the need to create safer routes for walking and bicycling and emphasize the importance of issues such as increasing physical activity among children, pedestrian safety, traffic congestion and concern for the environment. The events build connections between families, schools and the broader community.

Sequoia High School Shadow Program
Dear Friends in the Sequoia HS Community,
Another school year has arrived, and for us at Sequoia, that means another chance to welcome visiting 8th graders for a first look at the school. Our Shadow Program provides the unique opportunity to accompany a current Sequoia student throughout the school day. In our process, we make every effort to match our shadows and hosts based on curricular and extracurricular interests submitted during registration. In addition to seeing a host's regularly scheduled academic classes, we will kick things off with a general introductory information session (8:00-8:30) and will end the day with a summative question/answer session over a complimentary lunch in our Student Activities Center, ending the day at noon. Parents are also welcome to attend both the introduction session as well as an optional informational session from 8:30-9:15.
Shadow dates can be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that the program has become very popular and early dates can fill up fast. the program will open for electronic registration on Wednesday, September 11 on the SHADOWS PAGE (Home Page > Parents and Community > 8th Grade Shadowing Program) of the Sequoia HS website. Please feel free to contact shadow coordinator Corey Uhalde (firstname.lastname@example.com) with any questions or comments.

Founded in 1915, legendary New York City eyewear brand MOSCOT continues to go from strength to strength. Noted for quality, design and a unique style MOSCOT has always been a family run business and today, 2017, its Chief Eyewear Designer is 5th generation Zack Moscot. A formally trained industrial designer, Ape to Gentleman caught up with Zack to talk about design, style, and New York City.
You are fifth generation Moscot and the first family member to work as a designer. Tell us how you started to work with the brand and why the traditional eye-specialist route wasn't for you?
First generation, Hyman Moscot, was an optician as was second generation, Sol, and third generation, Joel. Harvey, my father and the fourth generation, is an optometrist and has spent years treating eyes. I am the first to join the business without an optical degree. Like my predecessors, I began working in the Shop as a young boy learning the MOSCOT ways. I never felt a particular connection to the medical aspects of eyewear or eyeballs, but I was strongly influenced by how a pair of glasses could change the way one feels about his or herself, and saw first-hand in the shops the perception and responsive attributes a pair of glasses can have. It was this connection to fashion and design that drew me in, and I realized then I could find my own unique position within the business. As a designer, I now have the opportunity to explore relationships between product, fashion, and optics — a combination of utility, necessity, and emotional aesthetics.
Why did you want to be part of the Moscot family brand, were you hooked from the start?
I always wanted to be a part of the club. Growing up in a family business, it's all you hear about at dinners, family barbeques, and events. I've always been proud to be a Moscot, as I understood what the name meant to the generations before me. My grandfather taught me that being humble, honest, and doing things for the right reasons, is how business is conducted at MOSCOT and he believes this is why our customers trust us and continue to return to our Shops for generations. The Moscot's have long taken great pride in providing optical expertise and a memorable in-shop experience to our fans and customers, and it is this kind of passion that continues to draw me in.
What and where did you study design? I heard you did a stint in Copenhagen? How was that culturally?
I studied industrial design at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Studying at such a large university was truly an amazing experience, given the breadth of resources in technology and machinery available to students. I also spent a year in Copenhagen studying product design, and as a young designer then, the experience was both culturally engaging and eye-opening. Learning and seeing through the lens of Scandinavian fashion and design provided me with an understanding of functionalistic design—the combination of simplicity and minimalism, with classical design principles. Being able to fully immerse myself in a new culture was very rewarding.
So your first major collection was launched at MIDO, the Milan eyewear show. How did that feel?
Quite humbling and exciting. I have learned so much since my first release several years ago, but to be able to present your designs at an international show with a diverse customer group was electrifying. There is a great appreciation for our heritage brand and evolving story in Italy, and there's nothing more fun than sharing your passion with likeminded eyewear purveyors.
What is the inspiration behind the collection? You have eight new Originals frames right?
The Spring/Summer 2017 release is influenced by the 70s and 80s, within a contemporary yet historic setting of the Lower East Side. The new MOSCOT/Originals models feature double bars and hues of shiny gold that really pop and make a statement. These larger sized silhouettes are fun, daring, and say, "I know my eyewear and I know how to be bold!"
MOSCOT has two main branches of Originals and Spirit frames, talk us through each of them?
The MOSCOT/Originals Collection harkens back to decades' past of MOSCOT and downtown New York City culture. We turned 102 years old in January, so that means we have a lot of styles in our archives to choose from! We look for classic and timeless models that we believe are universal in design, fit, and transcend multi-cultural fashion. Like a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and wing-tip shoes, MOSCOT frames are classic.
The MOSCOT/Spirit Collection consists of new designs but maintain the same DNA as The MOSCOT/Originals in quality, materials, construction, and colour palette . I have more freedom to explore new concepts in design and technology, but at the end of the day, both collections are distinctly MOSCOT and maintain a core identity that is classiconic™.
It seems like MOSCOT, a traditionally New York City centric brand with loads of history is really on the front foot following the first European shop opening in London in 2015, how have things changed since this happened?
Honestly, at the heart of MOSCOT, not much has changed – we are constantly striving to make our loyal fans and customers happy by providing a memorable experience and timeless, quality eyewear. We remain family-owned and operated for over 100 years! We would like to continue sharing our unique story with the world, and through our stockists — the specialty retail and optical shops in neighbourhoods and cities that are reminiscent of the MOSCOT DNA — is a great way to get our message across.
And since then we are about to see another addition in Rome. Why Italy? Why Rome and not Milan or Florence?
My father always says, "We were born on Orchard Street and we will die on Orchard Street." The Lower East Side of Manhattan is ingrained in who and what we are – a neighbourhood has and continues to represent artistic, creative, and free-spirited individuals. Similarly, Rome shares many of these elements, and is symbolic of a city that embraces art, culture, history, and appreciates beauty in its simplest form.
The campaign images are great, are you going to be doing more of this type of thing for collections moving forward? It feels more like a global fashion brand no?
MOSCOT is a home-grown, quirky brand but it is important to remain fun, sexy, and at the forefront of fashion! Many of these new models lend themselves to editorial fashion shoots, and there's really no better way to tell a good story without models. We'll certainly be exploring more campaigns such as this, so long as MOSCOT's core elements of fashion, heritage, and humour are incorporated.
No doubt you feel pressure to deliver, how does that work being part of the family and your father being the fourth generation CEO and President? Is he on your back a lot?
You could say that! Truthfully, we're on each other's backs quite a lot, but we're also on the same side! Anyone in a family business knows there are pros and cons, but there are some amazing things as well, such as being able to work with your dad everyday. We have a tight relationship and it's incredible to be able to spend everyday together doing what we love most – curating our brand name, making high quality eyewear, and building relationships in and out of the house.
We've felt the unique MOSCOT experience in the London shop, such character and a bespoke style. This will always remain, but where do see the brand evolving?
It has always been our goal to ensure every MOSCOT Shop feels cozy and welcoming, as if you were going home. The surrounding tchotchkes on display, warm cherry wood showcases, and vintage New York City artefacts are what makes MOSCOT, MOSCOT. While we hope to slowly and carefully grow our brand with varying omni-channel solutions, the feeling of home is never far from our minds, in making and make sure that it is felt with any MOSCOT experience, through any medium or any form.
We'd love to hang-out in New York and want to become friends, how welcome are newbies into the MOSCOT family?
With opens arms! We love newbies and are quite used to them at our flagship shop on Orchard street! Across the street from the tenement museum, we are always excited to explain our story and share our history and products with new MOSCOTeers! Please come visit us in NYC and if you're lucky, Frank or Marilyn will be standing behind the counter to help you – MOSCOT family experts, serving loyal fans and customers for over 40 years!!!
What inspires you Zachary? What things do you like to do?
Outside of the world of eyewear, I enjoy playing and writing original music with my guitar. Both my parents are quite creative and have impressed upon me free expression, which I find comes easiest with some strings.
Leave us with a Moscot motto that the family always will believe in?
You must know your past and where you come from in order to craft your future.

It's the starting pitching, stupid. Always has been. Always will be. Not just for the Cubs. But every team.
But let's deal with the Cubs because World Series winners tend to have issues repeating precisely because of tired arms in the rotation.
That's what the Cubs slogged through for a while, but now, starting pitching is starting to make it all better. Jon Lester has been the ace the Cubs paid for. John Lackey has been the stud they needed when nobody else seemed capable. And now Kyle Hendricks gets to sit at the adult table.
Actually, he has been sitting there for a while, what with that metronomic way of his, but it seemed more important against the Reds on Wednesday in terms of the Cubs' winning at home and winning more than one in a row against a team they have to pass.
And bang, Hendricks worked six innings of two-run ball, his team-leading fourth quality start that the Cubs bullpen needs more of.
His velocity was better — can he teach that to Jake Arrieta? — and he was making hitters look silly and weak as he struck out four while allowing six hits and two walks.
What's more, he did it with a 24-mph wind blowing straight out of Wrigley Field and despite his infield's blowing a simple rundown play that should've retired the fastest player in the majors.
No matter. Hendricks worked through it all, and look at that: He has allowed no more than two earned runs in his last five starts.
That's the Hendricks we've been waiting on. That's the Cy Young finalist we remember. That's the guy who drew comparisons to Greg Maddux.
I mean, he's pitching well enough to get yanked in the fifth inning of Game 7 of the World Series with a four-run lead.
If Arrieta can get with the program — read: mid-to-high 90s — then forget it, this thing is over, finally and mercifully. The Cubs will own the division no matter who's leading off.
Speaking of leading off, Kyle Schwarber drove in two runs Wednesday, but his .312 on-base percentage ranks 125th in the majors, according to MLB. That percentage and ranking both are down since the start of this homestand. His .673 on-base-plus-slugging percentage shot him all the way up from 148th to 145th. But hey, he broke the Budweiser sign on the right-field video board during batting practice. So, there's that.
Cubs Baseball Moses Theo Epstein said Arrieta's issues stem from not locking into his mechanics. Arrieta hasn't found his delivery, I believe was the idea, and I'm thinking, if there's a delivery that can give back the four or five miles an hour that Arrieta has lost, then a round of mechanics for the house.
Latest Sports
Reds manager Bryan Price spewed anger over the replay reversal that ended Wednesday night's loss to the Cubs. Part of Price's rant fired shots at what he apparently perceives as Cubs favoritism — "As much as it is 'Hail to the Cubs' and they're the World Series champs and they're great, we're trying to win the ballgame, too.'' — but here's an idea, Brian: Get your team to pitch and hit better in the first eight innings so you don't need a replay in the ninth inning.
One game, the manager mismanages the bullpen into a loss. Next game, they come back from a three-run deficit in the ninth to tie and then blow an 11th-inning lead. Game after that, they blow a 4-0 lead and give up three four-run innings. Any team can tank a season, but few teams are as creative as the White Sox.
But why is Avisail Garcia still here? He's threatening to drive in game-winning runs.
What's up, Bryan LaHair?

So it's finally official: "rightwing extremist" that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority is now regarded as a threat by The Department of Homeland Security and they are sending out warnings to all law enforcements officials about these terrible people.
Oh my… I'm never going to be able to get a visa for the US…
A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines "rightwing extremism in the United States" as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.
"It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration," the warning says.
The end is nigh and The Greatest Depression is closing in with millions of ferocious, unemployed, disillusioned and helplessly starving infected people erratically walking an unforgiving earth for years to come. Truth to be told we´re heading for a financial apocalypse because you, the people, believe in any tall tale The Powers That Be cables out. All we can do now is to wait for the fattest lady in history to sing the highest note ever heard...

Egypt – So Where's the Muslim Brotherhood?
|See you around, Hos.
Before we get carried away with the birth of democracy in Egypt, let's ask ourselves why the United States has been plying the Mubarak regime with a couple of billion dollars worth of play money for the last God knows how long. Was it because he was such a great guy doing right by his peeps? Uhh, no. Could it have been because we needed him to keep the lid on the Muslim Brotherhood, that's been threatening to give the West indigestion for the last eighty years? Way more likely.
So where exactly have the Muslim Brotherhood been during the riots in Cairo and other cities around the Nile Delta? Not in huge evidence that's for sure. And that's what worries Thereisnoplan. You see, it would seem like a smart move for the Brotherhood to stay on the sidelines. After all, if they were seen as stirring the pot, the US and others might be a little less likely to be pushing the Democratic agenda for Egypt, just in case Cairo went the way of Gaza after its Democratic experiment and ended up in the hands of the Islamists. It may be a genuine secular revolt, but – and this is just a wild guess – Thereisnoplan is betting that much of President Obama's trip to the White House basement (otherwise known as the Situation Room) was spent chatting about just that eventuality.
Egypt is a very religious nation. Even the riots calling for the ouster of Mubarak had to wait until Friday prayers were done before the stones and molotovs could be tossed about. The Muslim Brotherhood has almost certainly learned the Hezbollah and Hamas playbook well. Promise and deliver 'social services' to the people and they'll support you. (The mafia is run on broadly the same basis). In short, they're well positioning to assume the mantle of power with a convenient one shot democratic moment and promise to help Egypt out of the trough that Mubarak's cronyism got them dug into over the decades.
Now, it's unlikely that Mubarak will lose the loyalty of the army and police forces (which would have nothing to gain under the Muslim Brotherhood) and therefore will stay in power, albeit in a weakened position. Maybe he'll co-opt El-Baradei as the peacemaker he needs to bridge his credibility gap with the rioters, but it's also possible the army will turn on him and wave him goodbye. Things are moving fast in the Middle East, and many predicted the turmoil in Tunisia would be an isolated moment. It wasn't. So anything can happen.
And if one of those anythings – say a Muslim Brotherhood takeover – took place (under the guise of democracy, of course) we'd all be in for a helluva ride in the Middle East. Here are a few possibilities.
Egypt could overturn its peace treaty with Israel. That would mean more than the end of Israeli tourism in the Sinai. And while it's highly unlikely that the militarily decrepit Egyptian forces would ever mount a full scale attack on Israel, it could prompt the reeopening of the Rafah crossing into Gaza and the arming of Hamas with more potent and longer range missiles than the jerried Qassams they're lobbing these days.
If Mubarak folds his tent, it'll be interesting to see how he could follow Ben Ali of Tunisia to a gated community in Riyadh or Jeddah. The House of Saud might just regard his arrival there with the same relish as a dose of the collective clap. Instead, they'd be more likely to be opening up the gun lockers for their own security forces in readiness for the distinct possibility that they might be in for the same treatment. And lurking just under the surface in Saudi Arabia is Al Qaeda, who must be watching events in Cairo unfold with glee.
Intifada part three. Could the Palestinians in the West Bank be next? Could they be thinking that hey, if it worked for the those Tunisian and Egyptian dudes maybe it'll work for us? That would certainly deal a body blow to what's left of Obama's latest go at the "Mid East Peace Process", a game that almost always leads to profound frustration and gloom for Washington. Could a hostile Egypt on Israel's border embolden Iran? Could Tehran engineer a wholesale pan-Muslim alliance to try and defeat Israel?
Nobody knows, but it's fun to conjecture, unless you're in the Situation Room of course.

"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him" (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14).
What happens to believers who die before the rapture of the church? This was a question that the believers in Thessalonica needed answering. There are those, usually among the cults, who teach the doctrine of 'soul sleep', that is, the dead neither go to Heaven or Hell, but are kept in a sort of spiritual suspension until the final judgement. What does the Bible teach on these matters?
Ignorance (being uniformed) of what the Bible teaches is the basic foundation of heresy. Unfortunately many cultists pin their doctrines on a partial statement of God's word and ignore the rest of Scripture. This is exactly the case with the 'soul sleep' doctrine.
"Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed" (1 Corinthians 15:51). Everyone knows that sleep can be used as a euphemism for death. Our English word 'cemetery', which is derived from the Greek, literally mean 'sleeping place'. "These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep" (John 11:11) … "And he [Stephen] kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep" (Acts 7:60). The Scriptures teach that the flesh is committed to the grave, "So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption" (1 Corinthians 15:42), but the spirit is taken into the presence of the Lord, "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord" (2 Corinthians 5:8). It is the body rather than the spirit that is said to sleep. Those who say that the soul / spirit sleeps must conclude that Jesus was unconscious and spiritually asleep for three days, and that His comforting words to the thief on the cross were meaningless, "Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:43). The term 'sleep' expresses the fact that death is a natural part of life since the Fall, and indicates that their must be an awakening, for if death is the end of life, then Paul would have used that word instead.
Will the dead miss out on the glorious blessings of the raptured saints? Paul answers this question fully in the remaining verses of this chapter. We will look at this in more detail in the upcoming studies. Here he encourages the believers to have hope and rest in the promises of God. Those Christians who are in sorrow over the death of loved ones who are saved reveal that they are no different than the unsaved. We believe in the resurrection of the saints because we know that the Lord Jesus Christ rose again.
The resurrection is at the very foundation of the gospel, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved" (Romans 10:9) … "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). How can the Lord bring the dead saints with Him from Heaven if they are indeed asleep in the grave? "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive" (1 Corinthians 15:22). The Geneva Bible in reference to the resurrection of the dead, says that God "Will call their bodies out of their graves, and join their souls to them again."
The believer has no need to investigate if there is a life after death if he truly believes in Christ's resurrection. The believer knows that his eternal existence is secure in Christ. James 2:26 offers us a clear definition of death, "The body without the spirit is dead", therefore it is only the body that dies at death. "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain … For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better" (Philippians 1:21, 23), these words word be utter foolishness if the spirit slept at death. The doctrines of soul sleep, annihilation, limbo, and purgatory are foreign to the Bible and ought to be rejected by all true believers. "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).

Question by logirab · Jan 29, 2018 at 12:05 PM · sandboxsandbox not working
Cannot link PayPal sandbox to eBay sandbox
Web flow does not work, I found this knowledge base article which suggests rating the article to bring up a support box where you can request to link.
I've had no response for a week or more. Apart from this being a ridiculous thing to have to do and really difficult information to find - it doesn't work.

Everyone loves the look of a winter wonderland—but not many people want to deal with shoveling snow off of their property. Professional snow plowing from companies like Anthony Landscapes can come along with some surprising benefits, including…
- Fewer accidents. Every year, countless cars, trucks, and motorcycles are damaged after driving into a slippery patch of ice and veering of the driveway or road. Snow plowing professionals know how to remove these tough slippery spots to keep you and your guests safer.
- A lower risk of injury. Snow shoveling can be more than just an annoyance for vulnerable members of the population. Older adults, those who have recently suffered a hernia, and men and women living with arthritis can become injured during the snow plowing process. Professional snow plowing services have the tools and training to get the job done safely so homeowners can rest with peace of mind.
- Prevention of lost income. It's just a little snow; that can't possibly prevent you from getting to work on-time…right? Snow banks and large accumulations of snow can pose a bigger risk to drivers than many residents anticipate—and after a blizzard passes through, you may find yourself shoveling for hours on end. Save time and money by working with a company providing professional snow plowing services to avoid lost income!
- Quicker snow removal. Don't let all the money you've spent on Bucks County landscape services go to waste this winter by allowing your property to sit under a freezing layer of snow! Snow plowing services have special tools and equipment to speed up the snow removal process, saving your land and hardscaping.
At Anthony Landscapes, we're proud to be much more than a simple Bucks County landscaping company—and we're here to help you survive the winter with our snow plowing services! Give us a call at 215-876-3111 the next time Jack Frost comes to town…and enjoy an easier winter season.

I love comic books. More than that, I love comic book shops - the tactile experience of browsing the shelves, seeing what new comics have come in each week, and finding a hidden gem I've been looking for.
Unfortunately, I've always been a little disappointed in the comic books shops near where I live, for a couple of reasons. First, the closest one is about 25 minutes away, so shopping is - at the very least - a 90 minute commitment. Second, I've never been much of a superhero reader. Sure, I'll read an occasional Batman or Punisher, but post-apocalyptic and horror comics are what I really like. And unfortunately, these titles are few and far between in my local stores' inventories.
I had tried doing some shopping at Web stores, but had never been very happy with selection or service – until now. Recently, I found a site that has pretty much everything I've ever wanted in an online comics store, and some other things I hadn't even thought about.
HeavyInk, which started about a year ago (and is still in beta), is founded by the people behind the educational DVD rental site, SmartFlix. The HeavyInk site is unique in the fact that it not only sells comics, but it also is heavy on customer-friendly policies and features that position them as being the premier comics destination on the Web.
As with many new sites, HeavyInk has put an emphasis on social networking. Each user has the ability to post his own blog, post unique, individualized lists and write his own reviews. Add some forums and Facebook-like features and the setting is right for a strong community.
What's more, HeavyInk's pricing is very friendly - every item is 20% off and shipping is free, no matter what the size of the order. Subscribe to as many series as you want and cancel any subscription or order up to when it ships. Ordering all cover variations is as easy as checking a box and their search makes it easy to find an author, no matter how you spell Mark Miller ... er ... Millar.
Plus, they've got such a wide selection, I can also pick up the Archie, Scrooge McDuck & Power Pack books I'm indoctrinating my kids with.
Sure, I'll still make a regular trek to my local comic book store, but - for now - HeavyInk fills all my comic needs.

Programmes on television networks are supposed to be fun, educating, entertaining and lively and I am glad to say that Celebrity Fanzone GH hosted by Jessica Opare Saforo and two positively opinionated ladies; Chantelle Asante and Akosua Hanson, is one such programme. I was so glad watching it last weekend because it is difficult to come by such a lovely and decent programme on air these days. Celebrity Fanzone focuses on a panel of three female co-hosts, tasked with discussing a variety of current, lifestyle and entertainment issues with one other guest host. The programme airs on Viasat 1 at 9:00pm every Saturday and repeated again on Wednesday at midday. Last week, they touched on three important current events. They touched on the death of Hon. J. B. Danquah, the National Media Commission's press statement against the tasteless feud between Valentina and Hon. Kennedy Agyapong and the tragic killing of two brothers; Francis Gbeneh, 33 and Timothy Gbeney, 28 by the police.
I loved the fresh perspective on the Valentine-Agyapong feud where the honourable minister was made aware of his "dishonourable" conduct and Valentina (Afia Schwarzenegger) was described as she really is; the sharp tongued journalist that almost all media networks seek.I also applauded Akosua when she brought in the fact that most men try to step on women using their sexuality during misunderstandings. As I always say, all men are born of women so must respect women as such and Hon. Agyapong's threat of exposing nude pictures of her was totally uncalled for. I think there was no need for Hon. Agyapong to even respond to Valentina's taunts. The woman is an acclaimed comical figure and no one would have given it a second thought if he had brushed it off. On this note, I ask that Hon. Agyapong gets a PRO to speak for him in all cases. He should not take up the task of defending himself when pushed to the wall.
I loved the fact that Jessica questioned why Valentina was not sanctioned after an error like that and the question as to whether it is okay for the National Media Commission (NMC) to JUST speak against the act. I could hear the unasked question "Can't the NMC do more?" I call on The Chairman for the NMC, Mr. Kwasi Gyan-Apenteng to do more to bring decorum into the media spectrum.
I must also commend the love mood to evoked for the Pre-Valentine Celebration. Seeing Chantelle Hyper for love was very refreshing. Seeing Jessica excited was also very refreshing. The way they carry themselves on stage, their flawless eloquency, their beautiful dressing really make the programme one to watch. In all, Celebrity Fanzone Gh is a programme which gets my vote when it comes to all the positivity that television must bring. Follow them on Facebook on Celebrity Fanzone Gh.

"Session Zero" takes place before the players or DM start their adventure. It is also the most important part of your game.
A session zero is a tabletop game session that takes place before the players and DM start their adventure. It is also the most important part of your game.
The Revival crew decided it would be a great idea to do our own "session zero" where we start from nothing and build a fully playable setting with a fleshed out world and characters.
We were inspired to do this because we've seen so many people having a hard time making a setting that works and keeps people engaged. We hope this example helps show how dang ol' useful a session zero is in making a successful game and hope you appreciate the goofs along the way.

As the popularity of being fit continues to rise, there is an abundance of diet and fitness fads that come and go along with it.
"A fad is any form of behavior that develops among a large population and is collectively followed with enthusiasm for some period, generally as a result of the behavior's a as novel in some way. A fad is said to 'catch on' when the number of people adopting it begins to increase rapidly. The behavior will normally fade quickly once the perception of novelty is gone."
This textbook definition of a fad is a clear indicator of why many Americans do not succeed at their fitness goals. They fall prey to trying all these fads, often leaving out the fundamentals of diet and exercise.
So what are we saying? Are all diets pretty much fads? Of course not. The truth is that each type of diet regimen developed caters to certain individuals. Remember that we are all different. For example, the person that would do well on a "Paleo" (caveman) diet is not the same person that would do well on say "South Beach" or "Atkins" diets. For a diet to work, you must first stick to it! That in itself is close to impossible for some. Then your diet must have basic, sound principles that are conducive to a lifestyle, meaning you can do it for the rest of life.
Since there seem to be dozens of diets that are "supposed" to work, the best thing for you to do is seek the advice of a registered dietitian (RD). They are professionally educated to tell you exactly what you need to do for YOU.
Now let's explore my expertise, the exercise fads. I would like to start by saying that the industry does a great job of taking old fundamental exercise protocols, branding them, and then calling them something "new". Take "Crossfit" for a perfect example; Crossfit is simply "cross training" that has been branded quite well. It's nothing new. People jump on these fad programs because everyone else seems to be doing it.
The problem I have with this is that some exercise fads like this one, aren't for everyone and people can seriously hurt themselves by not finding out what they should know about it. Someone says "Oh, you should try this with me" or "I've been doing this and it's great." Then people incorporate these fads into their fitness routines without even knowing the first thing about it. Just like diet, there's something out there for everyone. Find out all you can about an exercise program before YOU begin it.
I incorporate a lot of different fitness fads in my own workouts.
I combine things like Crossfit, Tabata, Insanity, P90X, Kettlebell and Hot Yoga, to name a few. Mixing it up and keeping a consistent change among exercise plans is what ultimately works, not just sticking to only one fad. There's good and bad with everything. Fortunately for me, my job is to educate others about the pros and cons of each, so I often use myself as the guinea pig. This approach is what I think can make any fad much more than a fad.
Seek the advice of a fitness professional for answers about all the different fads that are out there. There are many. The major gimmick with most fitness trends is that they all claim to work for everyone. Bottom line, if there's only one thing out there that worked, then we'd all be doing it!

This is the blog of Adam Kalsey. Unusual depth and complexity. Rich, full body with a hint of nutty earthiness.
Freshness Warning
This article is over 17 years old. It's possible that the information you read below isn't current.
6 Nov 2002
I was minding my own business when I noticed that the Java console had appeared in my Windows taskbar. I found that odd, since I hadn't run any Java software recently. Opening the console, I find repeated references to RedSheriff.com followed by some HTML and the words "record sent."
That got my attention. I'm sending data to some company I've never heard of?
Apparently RedSheriff makes tracking software for companies. They knew that people and companies were able to easily defeat traditional tracking networks by disabling cookies, using proxies, and hiding behind NAT routers. So they decided to solve this problem by creating a small Java applet that runs in your browser on their client sites and sends data to RedSheriff's servers.
The server logs are unable to pick up information relating to both PC and RAM cache and proxy servers. Server logs will also count all users behind a firewall as one user. All of the above mean that server log files fundamentally undercount site traffic.
RedSheriff Measurement avoids these difficulties by using a patented quantitative activity measurement technology, known as instrumentation, which allows activity to be measured from the browser.
Web servers aren't able to accurately count traffic so RedSheriff is solving this problem by installing tracking software on consumer's PCs without their knowledge or permission, effectively transfering the traffic counting burden from the server to the client.
So what are they tracking?
Exit and Entry Pages, Page Impressions, Path Analysis, Unique Visitors, Host Summary, Unique User Sessions, Browser and Operating System, Page Durations, Java/CGI Breakdown, Session Durations, Referring URL, Country of Access, Referring Domain, Reach, Period Page Impressions, Visitor Frequency, Internal and External Referring URL, Loyalty
Of course RedSheriff's privacy policy assures you that they believe "providing the company with your personal information is an act of trust." They're running tracking software on my machine to send personal information without my knowledge. That sounds trustworthy.
I've replaced their Java class file (measure.class) with a blank file and set it to read-only. I also changed my hosts file to redirect requests to their servers to a black hole and added a filter to the Proxomitron that neuters the applet.
