AC Hotel San Juan Condado opens with $45 million investment
SAN JUAN – Following an investment of $45 million and the creation of 105 jobs, AC Hotel San Juan Condado was inaugurated Wednesday. La Fortaleza called it "cosmopolitan, with an urban flair, designed for creative and enterprising travelers."
Gov. Ricardo Rosselló participated in the event, where he emphasized the efforts his administration has made to support the private sector, particularly in the tourism industry.
"We created the destination marketing organization, which seeks to promote Puerto Rico abroad, and together with projects such as AC Hotel San Juan Condado we will make the island the preferred destination for many," the governor said.
Part of the AC Hotels by Marriott chain, the new establishment occupies the former Ambassador Hotel building on Ashford Avenue. Banco Popular and Hotel Development Corp. financed the project, while Interlink led the rehabilitation of the property, during which 180 direct and 250 indirect jobs were created.
The hotel has entered into a long-term agreement with Marriott International, and will be operated by Highgate Hotels.
"We believe that the combination of the strength of Marriott International, the charm of our island, Puerto Rican talent, this coveted location on Ashford Avenue and the growing popularity of the AC brand create a very promising platform," said Federico Sánchez Ortiz, president and CEO of Interlink.
The executive director of the Tourism Co., José Izquierdo, said the AC Hotels chain is expected to expand its presence on the island.
The building has 233 rooms, of which 48 are suites, while the lobby and AC Lounge are designed to blend into the surroundings of Ashford Avenue. On the roof of the hotel there is a swimming pool, a bar and the AC Kitchen. The hotel will also includes the Sobao by Los Cidrines bakery and the La Bodeguita restaurant.
The hotel's general manager, Reynaldo Rey Fernández; Marriott International's vice president of Caribbean Development, Bojan Kumer; several government officials; and representatives of the tourism industry were present at the opening ceremony.

Motherhood has been full of awesome firsts lately - and coloring with my now 1 year old son has be near the top of the list. I hadn't picked up an actual crayon for awhile. Knowing that I was showing him something for the first time gave me freedom to play, and make marks and forms unlike how I would if I was 'really' drawing. He started with hard little stabs at the paper, then wide single strokes, followed by zig zags. We're only at the beginning but it's been fun.I know I can avoid drawing because I'm afraid of drawing something bad, or wrong, or not quite what I had in my head. But put a child in front of me (of any age, I've always been the Auntie to color with!) and there's no place for ego or pausing to check google images for duck references. I might not make much time for 'real' art lately, but every day we make time for something better together. When I finally sit down at the drawing board (by myself), I think all of this will inform my work.
Oh, and the drawing above? That's what a giggle looks like. Wrap your arm around baby's belly, hold several crayons and scribble like mad. You'll see what I mean.

Oh! This post made me feel happy--I did this with my kids when they were little! I love all these sweet little images--that baby on the horse is a-w-e-s-o-m-e!! I also enjoy the layering of sketches and baby marks. Thanks for sharing these!!!ReplyDelete
What a happy post! In fact, I found myself giggling! :) I love drawing with my girls! I remember sitting at our coffee table when Eden was a wee one, and listening to her weave her story around the pictures she drew. It is such a happy memory! Thanks for sharing these wonderful drawings!ReplyDelete

In a major trial of more than 1,000 patients, prednisolone and pentoxifylline, the key treatments recommended in international guidelines, did not achieve a statistically significant reduction in mortality rates after 28 days, 90 days or a year.
The authors of the study, which is published in the New England Journal of Medicine, say there is a critical need for more research into prevention and treatment of the illness as patients have no suitable options to improve their survival.
World-leading liver expert Professor Chris Day, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Newcastle University's Faculty of Medical Sciences, was part of the pioneering study.
He said: "Liver disease is the only leading cause of preventable death that is increasing in the country, yet very little research is currently being undertaken on conditions such as alcoholic hepatitis.
"The fact that prednisolone and pentoxifylline have been found to be ineffective is not a big surprise as there was previously only scant evidence supporting their use coming from old and relatively small trials.
"There is a undoubtedly a stigma around obtaining funds to study alcoholic hepatitis as funders figure that we know what causes it and therefore how to prevent it. However, there needs to be much more research as the current treatment options available do not work for those heavy drinkers unlucky enough to develop the disease."
The study involved 1,053 patients being treated at 65 hospitals in the UK, including a significant number from Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust's Liver Unit at the Freeman Hospital. Patients were randomly assigned to four groups, each receiving two treatments: prednisolone and pentoxifylline, prednisolone and placebo, pentoxifylline and placebo, or both placebo.
Overall, 16 per cent of patients died within 28 days of starting treatment. At 90 days, 29 per cent of patients had died, and after one year 56 per cent had either died or had a liver transplant. The differences in mortality rates between the treatment groups were not statistically significant.
Professor Mark Thursz, from the Department of Medicine at Imperial College London, who led the study, said: "This study is four times larger than any previous trial in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis, so it provides much stronger data on how effective the drugs are.
"We urgently need to invest in research into the mechanisms of disease, to identify targets for new treatments, and develop better strategies to stop people drinking."
Deaths from liver disease increased by 40 per cent in England and Wales from 2001 to 2012, partly driven by a rise in alcohol consumption. Alcoholic liver disease was responsible for 4,425 deaths in 2012.
Excessive alcohol consumption first causes fat to build up in the liver, which is potentially reversible. Alcoholic hepatitis is a dramatic manifestation of alcohol-related liver disease, associated with jaundice and liver failure. It is caused by inflammation of the liver and may cause death in up to 30 per cent of patients with a month.
Professor Thursz added: "One reason why we might not have seen a significant effect is that the drugs increase the risk of infection. Another reason is that many patients return to drinking, and suffer further attacks or complications of cirrhosis.
"Some older studies found a mortality rate after 28 days above 30 per cent. It was much lower in this study, which suggests that even though the treatments are ineffective, we are looking after patients better than we used to."
The study was funded by the National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment programme.

Buying a home is a dream of every individual. We work hard to save money so that we can buy our dream house. However, as life is unpredictable, what would have been the condition while buying the house, might mot remain the same. The house that you had bought after years of hard work, savings and sacrifices, is now reeling under the threat of foreclosure owing to the inability of you to make the monthly installments and manage your expenses. Loan modification is considered as an integral part of debt payment strategy. Loan modification is an effective tool that allows you to protect your property during such a situation.
A lot of time it happens that the homeowners who bought a home find themselves in a condition when making the monthly payment on the mortgage becomes extremely tough. If you are facing a similar situation, you can get your loan modified. By getting a longer term, you can decrease the monthly installment. Although more number of installments mean payment of more interest, but it is a better arrangement as you are saved from the obligation of paying the current installment. This will not only lower your risk of default and foreclosure, but will also allow you to lead a normal life without having to worry about the finances. Get your loan modified and get back on the track of your life.

This is an excerpt from the page Jason Colavito has set up on his site. You can check it out at - http://www.jasoncolavito.com/fragments-on-giants.html
This page will collect brief passages recording classical, medieval, and early modern authors' experiences with so-called giants. It's a work in progress, and I will be adding to it as time allows.
Herodotus, Histories 1.68 (c. 420 BCE)
Lichas then, being one of these, discovered it in Tegea by means both of fortune and ability. For as there were at that time dealings under truce with the men of Tegea, he had come to a forge there and was looking at iron being wrought; and he was in wonder as he saw that which was being done. The smith therefore, perceiving that he marvelled at it, ceased from his work and said: "Surely, thou stranger of Lacedemon, if thou hadst seen that which I once saw, thou wouldst have marvelled much, since now it falls out that thou dost marvel so greatly at the working of this iron; for I, desiring in this enclosure to make a well, lighted in my digging upon a coffin of seven cubits in length; and not believing that ever there had been men larger than those of the present day, I opened it, and I saw that the dead body was equal in length to the coffin: then after I had measured it, I filled in the earth over it again." He then thus told him of that which he had seen; and the other, having thought upon that which was told, conjectured that this was Orestes according to the saying of the Oracle, forming his conjecture in the following manner:--whereas he saw that the smith had two pairs of bellows, he concluded that these were the winds spoken of, and that the anvil and the hammer were the stroke and the stroke in return, and that the iron which was being wrought was the trouble laid upon trouble, making comparison by the thought that iron has been discovered for the evil of mankind. Having thus conjectured he came back to Sparta and declared the whole matter to the Lacedemonians; and they brought a charge against him on a fictitious pretext and drove him out into exile. So having come to Tegea, he told the smith of his evil fortune and endeavoured to hire from him the enclosure, but at first he would not allow him to have it: at length however Lichas persuaded him and he took up his abode there; and he dug up the grave and gathered together the bones and went with them away to Sparta. From that time, whenever they made trial of one another, the Lacedemonians had much the advantage in the war; and by now they had subdued to themselves the greater part of Peloponnesus besides.

And Gabinius also, the Roman historian, does not abstain from telling marvellous stories of Maurusia; for example, he tells a story of a tomb of Antaeus near Lynx, and a skeleton sixty feet in length, which, he says, Sertorius exposed to view, and then covered again with earth.

Three jailers have been fired and one suspended for encouraging female inmates who put on a mock fashion show that included a bikini made from a sweatshirt.
"They used their prison uniforms and anything else for the fashion show," sheriff's office administrator Larry Lowman said of the ten Bedford County Jail inmates who participated.
Alma Cantu watched the inmates through a large security window while three male guards — Steven Qualls, Jason Carden and Jamie Farris — watched them on security monitors, Lowman and Sheriff Randall Boyce said.
"There were some remarks made over the intercom into that [cell] block," Lowman said. "One of the guards asked a particular female to blow into the speaker ... box of the intercom [which doubles as a microphone] and as she did, he put his microphone down to his crotch."
One of the guards also took pictures with a cell phone camera but later deleted them, he said.
Farris later reported the incident and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation looked into it. There was no physical contact between the guards and inmates during the Nov. 11 incident, officials said.
Farris was suspended for about three weeks while the other three jailers were fired.
"It was their job to stop it and not socialize with the inmates," Boyce said.
The inmates involved had their privileges revoked. That includes duties at the senior citizens center, in the sheriff's offices, the jail and jail kitchen as well as work release opportunities.

#564 – Trip
Posted on August 1, 2008 at 12:00 am by Chris
It's amazing how memory can be tied to objects. The sight and touch and smell of something that you haven't seen for many years can bring back a flood of memories that may have otherwise been lost forever. Sometimes the experience is so vivid it's almost as good as time travel.Tags
39 thoughts on "#564 – Trip"
Ah…a reference to comic 47.
No kidding. When the Jalepeno and Cheese Doritos came out I was having a conversation with a coworker about it and he mentioned a long since discontinued flavour called Salsa and Cheese. Immediately after him saying this I actually had a taste flashback. I loved those Doritos as a kid, and reminding me of them actually brought a recollection of the taste, and I wasn't even eating anything at the time, which is the first time I can really say that has happened to me (other than x tastes like y and similar taste comparisons).
Well I can't really say this has happened to me, since I'm still young really, but somehow Lethal interjections co reminded me of how I once actually tasted something I ate in a dream, the taste didn't last long, but it was wonderful.
This reminded me of Johnny Mnemonic that is all.
If only that could happen to me! 🙁
May 1977 hey. Do my sensors detect another star wars fan?
I've noticed that myself and have often wondered if our memories really are tied to objects. Sometimes, a memory will never seem to reoccur until you've come across an item that triggers the memory.
hmm it would be nice to be able to backup memories onto a tape or other media and then forget about them until popping them back into the ole noggin. Would make things much easier
How OLD was Biff in 1977?
Until you lose the tapes, anyway…
Never happened to me. Not that i can remember =p
Does that thing go in his forehead VCR?
I haven't lost my mind. It's backed up on tape somewhere.
I like how the title of today's strip is also a pun. "Trip" as in "trip down memory lane" anyone?
I also like the reference to an older comic. I would've missed it if Torg hadn't pointed it out–thanks Torg!
I can definitely relate. Mostly, during long car rides, if someone says something funny, I'll always relate what i was looking at at the time to that joke. Like a certain tree, for example, if I ever see that tree again I'll be reminded of the joke.
Is this week themed?
@Jackson: You're welcome.
@no name: Lost stuff.
Long time lurker (since the 2nd comic) first time poster.
Same thing happened to my dad. We were driving down to Capone's a pool/bar to well go play pool, and the song Night Moves came on the radio station 94.9 The New Eagle. Next thing I know my father stops in mid-sentence and nearly drives us off the road as he was having a flashback to his childhood.
A lot of memory is tied to our sense of smell. Enough so that people who lose their sense of smell also lose access to a lot of their memories.
Actually, I guess this has happened to me, often when I'm playing a game, if one of the times I was playing the game, there was a show on, I'll be reminded of the same episode that was on.
This reminds me of a science-fiction type webcomic which states that maybe the memories are actually stored in the items around us. You can see it here:
what about the reference to comic #554? and I wonder how a stray toaster got into his house?
This explains, so much.
i've seen 3 seperate "references" contained in this strip. anyone want to make a list? 😛
It happens to me a lot with music. I was once on a bicycle trip with some friends, and listening to a lot of Café Tacuba (Re). For a couple of years later, whenever I played that record, it brought memories of that trip.
Also, on a different trip, I had no music to listen to, but the music I missed then and thought about, when listened to later, reminded me of that particular trip.
On an entirely different note, have you thought about some designs for t-shirts and such?
Great work with Biff.
Never had sight remind me of something thought lost, my most vivid experience was with a taste, Barq's Rootbeer. Even to this day it reminds me of star wars roleplaying in middle shcool.
I'm such a nerd that my oh-so-long webcomics list references itself accidentally (?) on a regular basis
Toasters seem to play a significant part of Biff's life.
The taste of Mt. Dew in a can reminds me of D&D in high school. As does Orange Crush.
wow i remember things out of nowhere like i remember bein in the nursery when i was still a baby watching my grandma take care of everyone….

#26: Hide
I can't find a third reference in here; if you're thinking #554, I think you're interpreting "stray toaster cord" a little too literally.
The first time I played Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, I was on vacation, and various songs by Queen were playing in the background. Now every time I go back to the place I was vacationing or hear Queen music I remember playing Echoes. (And vice versa, apparently…)
Don't ya just hate it when somehow a song gets tied to a bad memory?
I was listening to Queen's "Bicycle" while I was ironicly riding my bike.
Broke my arm. Now I don't want to listen to it. D:
yay,my birth month
That rarely happends to me. My memory seems to only extend five years. Beyond that it's as good as gone. Some one else can explain to me what happened but all I get are vague images that have no substantial value at all. The result is I now have large collection of junk that I don't know how I got, have no Idea what they're for and can't bring myself to throw away because they I have a vague sentimental value to me, yet I have no Idea why.
my hand smells like chicken bakes
Saw this and was instantly reminded of a Dresden Codak comic, take a peak
Raises an interesting question I think ^_^
Aha! A DOUBLE callback comic!
That's just how neuron networks work, really. Having programmed some of them at Uni makes such observations much less amazing

Where oh Where... have all the good partners gone?
We all know that even just the thought of dating makes us nervous and question our self-confidence. Simply put...dating is hard. It seems today that it is harder, if not seemingly impossible to find a suitable partner. Especially one that has equal or similar morals and goals. After too many single nights of disappointments and guilt ridden, time invested experiences, our resolve quickly melts down to the thought of possibly living alone for most, if not the rest of our life.
Yes.. there is now a donation button in several spots around the selfesteem forum and the website.
This was not my idea...it actually came from a few of the self-esteem members as they understand the amount of time and monies that it takes to bring all of the information and self-esteem support to these pages for all of you.
The donation is set at its minimum of $1.00.
So ...do feel free to support womensselfesteem.com so that we can continue to support you!
Thank you so much in advance!

Gerald Stanley's defence of a hang fire 'accident' key to jury decision
Stanley testified in own defence that gun went off accidentally, killing Colten Boushie
By definition, a pure accident should rarely attract criminal consequences, but in the high-profile trial of Gerald Stanley, the accused told a jury this week that he didn't mean to shoot Colten Boushie.
"Boom, the thing just went off," Stanley testified Monday afternoon during his second-degree murder trial at the Court of Queen's Bench in Battleford, Sask. Boushie, 22, from Red Pheasant Cree Nation, was fatally shot on Stanley's Biggar, Sask.-area farm in August 2016. Stanley has pleaded not guilty.
In the witness box, Stanley admitted to firing at least two shots on his farmyard to scare off people who had driven onto his property. He said by the time he walked up to the SUV carrying Boushie, he thought his handgun was out of bullets and that it went off accidentally. He said he did not pull the trigger.
Defence lawyer Scott Spencer argued the fatal shooting was a "freak accident." He said Stanley was firing warning shots, but that the third one was something known as "hang fire," in which a firearm will delay firing of a bullet.
Before the jury began deliberating on Thursday afternoon, Justice Martel Popescul's provided them with a sheet of possible verdicts in no particular order: not guilty, guilty of manslaughter or guilty of second-degree murder.
While many expected this case would turn exclusively on property rights and issues surrounding self-defence, the defence of an "accident" — although uncommon — could lead to an outright acquittal for Stanley, or a conviction of manslaughter.
In raising the defence of accident, it is important to remember that the accused does not have to prove that the death of Boushie was accidental. It's up to Crown to satisfy the jury beyond a reasonable doubt that his death was not an accident.
Simple equation
Criminal liability can generally be stated in an overly simplified equation as: act + intention - defence = guilt.
Although I refer to the defence of "accident" as a "defence" it really refers to an "unintended act" or an "unintended consequences" of an unintended act.
The "defence of accident" also varies depending on the nature of the offence. Popescul said the jury must decide, if they believe Stanley did not pull the trigger, if it was careless handling or lawful. He said the Criminal Code pays "special attention" to firearms because of their unique ability to cause serious injury and death.
1993 Sutherland decision
One of the more thorough decisions on the question of jury instructions with respect to the defence of accident was given by Justice William Vancise of the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal in the 1993 Sutherland decision. In Sutherland, the accused forced his girlfriend, at gunpoint, to accompany him to his car.
The accused testified that as he turned to place the rifle in the car, it accidentally discharged, killing his girlfriend. He panicked and fled the scene. A jury convicted him of murder. He conceded that he was at least guilty of manslaughter.
There was expert evidence in support of his plea of accidental shooting to the effect that the bullet ricocheted off the gravel parking lot and killed his girlfriend. The appeal centred around the instructions to the jury on the defence of accident, which will be just as important in the Stanley case.
Burden of proof on Crown
Vancise, speaking for the majority, held that the defence of accident is inextricably linked to the issue of intent.
In his opinion, the jury should have been instructed that if the defence of accident left the jury in a state of reasonable doubt, they had to find the appellant not guilty of the murder. He said that the trial judge should have instructed the jury to the effect that: There is evidence before you that raises the defence of accident.
The accused does not have to prove that his conduct was accidental. The burden of proof is on the Crown to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defence of accident cannot succeed.
a. If you accept the evidence in support of the defence of accident, then you must render a verdict of guilty of the included offence of manslaughter.
b. If you do not accept the evidence in support of the defence of accident, but you are left in a reasonable doubt by it, then you must also return a verdict of guilty of the included offence of manslaughter.
c. Even if you are not left in a reasonable doubt by the evidence in support of the defence of accident, you must still go on to determine whether or not, on the basis of all the evidence, the accused is guilty of the offence charged.
Although factually different than the Stanley case, in that Sutherland, unlike Stanley, admitted that he was at minimum committing an unlawful act, the Sutherland case highlights that once the accused establishes there is an "air of reality" to the defence, the Crown must disprove the availability of the defence beyond a reasonable doubt.
The "air of reality" test is one that is often referred to in criminal trials.
The test basically means that, before the jury can even consider a potential defence, the defence must be more than an outlandish suggestion being put to the jury. The test applies a very low threshold and requires that there must be just "some evidence" upon which a jury could acquit.
Was this an accident?
For an act to be attributed to the responsibility of a person in the criminal law it must be voluntary. A voluntary act is the expression of a conscious choice and conscious control by the person who commits it. Accidents are, by definition, not voluntary.
Although much attention has focused on the issue of "hang-fire," a finding of accident by the jury will not entirely end the matter. The circumstances and the conduct of Stanley and the alleged trespassers will also need to be considered.
In the 1985 Barron case, the Ontario Court of appeal dealt with the defence of accident argument.
The court found that even when an accident has occurred, where the accused's conduct constituted such a marked departure from the standard expected of a reasonable person acting in similar circumstances, then an accused can still be convicted of criminal negligence even though the victim's death or bodily harm was accidental.
Therefore, notwithstanding a finding that the hang-fire defence has raised a reasonable doubt as to the act and intention part of the equation, in order to return a verdict of not guilty on all possible charges, the jury must still ask: Were the accused's actions leading up to the shooting reasonable?
If there is a reasonable doubt that the shooting was an accident and the accused was not engaged in an unlawful act, or criminal negligence, and did not know the act was likely to cause Boushie's death, then he has a complete defence of accident to the charge, whether it be murder or manslaughter.
While many opinions exist on the defence of accident being raised during the Stanley murder trial, the opinion of the jury will be the only opinion that truly matters on whether the Crown has proven the accused guilty of anything, beyond a reasonable doubt.

Wow, did I just hang out with a bunch of hotties!!!
Tonight I met some friends at a local favorite bar for drinks and Dylan snuggles. He was loving the ladies and even as I put him to bed he said... Mommy, when I grow up will there still be smoking hot babes for me? I told him not to worry, there would be incredibles ladies for him. Can I tell you how awesome my internet friends are (who are now... since we met F2F are IRL friends)... I figured we would be hanging out, relaxing, playing a bit w/the Dylan (cause he's so into the hot babes). Well, it turned into a baby shower. They all brought presents for the little man. I was so touched! I had met Meeshers* (and her lovely tata's) many times before. Classic Queen*, Lionesse* & PsychoPants* were all new to me. I walked in w/Dylan and yelled.... "Where's my Bitches??" They all loved that hahahaha. My Gd these are some amazing women! All very beautiful both inside and out. I felt very guilty we had to leave early cause asshole Mom (that would be me) forgot to bring Dylan's meds and had to get him home. They were so understanding (ok PP gave me a little shit but I so deserve it). Oh, and get this Cheeseheadpackerfan* sent Meeshers* a present for Dylan from like 2 or 3 states away. I've never met her in person but she sent a gift. These are all my weight watchers friends. They have put up with more of my shit than you will ever know (without the curses because we can't say things like shit, fuck and cunt on weight watchers boards but I can say it here so... neener neener neener). Just another reason that the internet is a beautiful place. GIRLS - I LOVE YOU!!!! ~SMOOCHES~ *internet names only since I didn't get the ok to do otherwise.

Tekkie Town founder Braam Van Huyssteen is suing Steinhoff Africa Retail (STAR) and Pepkor Speciality for breach of contract.
He claims in court documents that, due to the breach of his employment contract as managing director of Tekkie Town, he is losing out on remuneration, bonuses and other incentives totalling R41.6m, which he could have earned until 2021.
He wants STAR or Pepkor to pay him this amount with interest, or provide him with suitable alternative relief.
STAR told Fin24 that it is obtaining legal advice in the matter and "will take the necessary action".
Tekkie Town was bought by Steinhoff International in late 2016. It was later transferred to STAR, the JSE-listed company that contains Steinhoff's African retail assets.
STAR is changing its name to Pepkor Holdings.
Tekkie Town operates more than 380 stores within STAR's total retail footprint of more than 5 100 stores.
A dispute had arisen earlier this year between Van Huyssteen and STAR, regarding an "earn-out agreement".
Fin24 reported on Tuesday that an agreement was reached in the Western Cape High Court on Tuesday in a separate case between Steinhoff Speciality Fashion and Footwear and former Tekkie Town executives, including Van Huyssteen and former CEO Bernard Mostert.
The executives resigned on 25 June, blaming what Mostert calls an environment "impossible for us to achieve the desired results for the business" because of the way they had been treated.
Earlier in July Steinhoff Speciality Fashion and Footwear obtained an interim interdict against the Tekkie Town founder and three other former top executives to stop them from what STAR deemed to be "interfering with IT systems and 'destabilising' operations".
"STAR achieved its aim in the Western Cape High Court yesterday when all parties agreed to a court order finding that access to and interference with the Tekkie Town IT systems, servers, networks and hardware or software – whether in stores or head office – is expressly prohibited by two ex-Tekkie Town executives, Willem Wait and Anton Roetz," STAR said in a statement on Wednesday.
"Further, all respondents including Tekkie Town founder Braam van Huyssteen and Mostert are strictly prohibited from using any Tekkie Town confidential and proprietary company information. The ex-Tekkie Town executives, as well as their related companies are also required to destroy any copies of records pertaining to Tekkie Town in their possession."
STAR said the outcome of the settlement was a positive one for Tekkie Town and STAR, "as it validates our original concerns and responses".
STAR CEO Leon Lourens said in the statement that STAR and Tekkie Town would continue to use the necessary legal process to protect the business and this includes the possibility of criminal charges.
According to Lourens, the Tekkie Town business has been stabilised with the deployment of the interim management team and trading remains in line with expectations.
"Tekkie Town remains an important business within STAR and we will continue to defend it in the interest of our shareholders and the 3 000 employees at Tekkie Town," said Lourens.
Meanwhile, the former Tekkie Town executives said in their own statement that they had "proven" that STAR "misled" the court when it obtained the interim interdict at the beginning of July.
The former Tekkie Town executives, on the other hand, question Pepkor's motives in applying for an interdict in the first place.
Mostert said in a statement on behalf of the respondents that the main point of their answering affidavit was that Pepkor "misled the court by misrepresenting several material facts and did not make several material disclosures that would have impacted a decision in an ex-parte order".
"We successfully argued that we were legally entitled to copies of our personal and business e-mail messages from the Tekkie Town servers. We used our e-mail addresses for all our business communications – from the earliest years when Tekkie Town started and long before Steinhoff appeared on the scene. These are big businesses valued at more than R2bn and not related to Pepkor or their parent Steinhoff at all," said Mostert.
The respondents also argued that the use of Tekkie Town and related e-mail addresses to manage other business affairs were known to Steinhoff and acceptable as such.
Court documents submitted by the respondents included an affidavit by Roshan Harneker, a computer forensic expert, which states that it would be impossible to access Steinhoff's or Tekkie Town's computer network from a retail shop to the point of being able to sabotage its sophisticated computer network. It was stated as fact to the court that Steinhoff had complete control over all the computer systems from 28 June.
Furthermore, the answering affidavit points to several acts of questionable conduct on the part of Pepkor employees, such as gaining access to Mostert's office – despite it being securely locked – and gaining access to printed information of private business transactions and documents relating to the respondents' litigation against Pepkor. The respondents claim this was done on orders from Lourens.
According to the statement by the former Tekkie Town executives, these actions are being investigated by the SA Police Service.

QA Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work
What's It About?
This one day emergency first aid at work course will provide your employees with the basic knowledge and practical experience they need to administer first aid in the workplace.
It will enable them to act as your appointed person and to take charge of the first aid arrangements. The course also includes looking after your first aid equipment and facilities and calling the emergency services when required.
Who Should Attend?
This course is suitable for your 'nominated' persons responsible for the first aid provision in your businesses. It is suitable for people who provide support to qualified first aiders in larger organisations and those with more complex risks.
In order to establish the first aid requirement within your business, you are legally obliged to carry out a detailed First Aid Needs Analysis. Complete our First Aid requirements Calculator.
Why's It Important?
Having designated first aiders in the workplace is a legal requirement. The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 state that employers should provide adequate and appropriate equipment and enough trained first aiders to help injured or ill staff.
Although accidents can be prevented, they can still occur so it's important to be prepared. Having adequately trained first aid personnel onsite will ensure that if an emergency situation does arise, it will be dealt with in a prompt and effective manner.
If you fail to provide emergency first aiders in the workplace then you are putting everyone involved in your business at risk: your employees, your customers and your visitors.
How would you feel if you had to tell someone's family that their loved one died because no one in your business knew what to do?
What Will You Gain?
By attending this emergency first aid course, your employees will understand their role and responsibilities as a first aider in the workplace as well as the legal requirements for first aid provision.
On returning to the workplace, they will have the confidence to react quickly in response to an incident. Administering a good level of first aid quickly can often be the difference between life and death.

Pokerzen ---ICONIC FUTURE GAME to promote self discovery through "Not knowing is most intimate" Experience
This design is aiming for mankind to experience "true self" with a legacy that will revolutionize global entertainment industry.
Explain your project idea (2,000 characters)The world doesn't stand still, to stimulate and modify human behavior, to trigger all human senses, concepts and symbols, Pokerzen project is an experience design project practicing the design of a future game focusing on the quality of the user experience and culturally relevant solutions. Pokerzen experience is aiming to revolutionize the entertainment industry and define new standards and add educational goals towards the final products and services. The project draws on many disciplines from; perceptual psychology, cognitive science, architecture and environmental design, haptics, product design, theatre, information design, ethnography, brand strategy, interaction design, service design, storytelling, technical communication and design thinking. The idea for PokerZen House relies on creating the space where players can play poker and zen mind actors can perform. Nevertheless it should be more than that. It's a building where the game concept influences the totality of itself. The main level is divided in five spaces: the entrance hall, the courtyard, the teahouse, the baths and the playground. Inside the playground there are three level of maze, meditation boxes and poker tables. Ancient knowledge is crucial to the position of those elements, since this organization brings harmony and balance of the energies that inhabit the building. the challenge lies in when players take risky action with materials gain/loss, while performers of zen practice require empty mind of detachment, the contrast of this Immersion experience provide sensation of comfort and uncertainty, Meanwhile practice (Zen lifestyle) through some kind of tools that are more approachable, in this case the poker game itself. Poker has all the attributes of a great meditation technique. It is a mind game of the first order. It calls for knowledge of math, psychology strategy, tactics, and self- discipline. In another word, bridging Peace and Prosperity then is achieved.
Who are the beneficiaries? (1,000 characters)

Not in any comparison to a tradition gaming house, pokerzen house has an self-exploration educational goal embedded. It's not just an entertainment, it's also a consciousness elevating experience, carefully choreographed give-and take power, rhythm, parry, thrust, withdrawal and retreat. At the heart of truth, pokerzen is to modify human behavior, subvert the conventions of religion, and make a new era of entertainment.

'Ferris Bueller' director John Hughes dead at 59
(AFP) – 1 hour ago
LOS ANGELES — John Hughes, best known for directing a string of 1980s hit movies including "The Breakfast Club," and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", has died, his publicist said Thursday. He was 59.
Hughes suffered a heart attack while visiting his family in Manhattan, his Los Angeles-based representatives said.
A prolific screenwriter and director, Hughes was the creative inspiration behind a series of teen-oriented films throughout the 1980s before penning the screenplay for the smash 1990 Macaulay Culkin film "Home Alone."
The family film -- about a boy who is accidentally left behind when his parents head off on a Christmas vacation and who has to fight off a gang of bungling burglars -- was Hughes's greatest commercial success.
He also penned a less successful 1992 sequel "Home Alone 2".
After starting out as a copywriter, Hughes began writing comedy for National Lampoon magazine before forging his successful movie career.
His breakthrough movie script came with the screenplay for the successful "National Lampoon's Vacation" in 1983.
His directorial debut, 1984's coming-of-age teen drama "Sixteen Candles", starring Molly Ringwald was a critical hit which set the tone for the films that were to define Hughes's career.
He later followed it up with "The Breakfast Club", about a group of teenagers who bond while stuck in detention, and 1986's classic "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," about a mischievous truant played by Matthew Broderick.
The film arguably launched Broderick's acting career and was one of the biggest hits of the decade, grossing more than 70 million dollars in North America alone after being made for around six million dollars.
Other Hughes hits from the time included "Weird Science" and another Ringwald film "Pretty In Pink."
His films were also notable for their choice of music, which helped propel bands such as "Simple Minds" and "Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark" to chart-topping success during the 1980s.
"I just used what I was listening to at the time, bands I liked," Hughes said in a rare 1999 interview. "It was my own personal taste."
Hughes branched out from the teen genre in 1987 with the slapstick comedy "Planes Trains & Automobiles" starring Steve Martin and John Candy, the late comic whom he teamed up with again for 1989's "Uncle Buck."
Yet is was 1990's "Home Alone" that cemented Hughes's reputation as one of the most successful talents of his generation.
The film -- which took nearly 500 million dollars worldwide -- remains the most successful live action comedy of all time.

I'm super gassy. Oh joy.
My back hurts all the time.
I randomly get super dizzy and feel like if I don't sit down right now I'm gonna black out again (like my Home Depot incident). This makes me nervous about going out for long periods of time by myself because I feel like eventually it will happen. When I'm at home, I don't mind plopping my fat ass on the ground regardless of where I am (and Gabby loves it, she just assumes I'm down there to see her) but I don't exactly want to sit down in the middle of Walmart anytime soon. I guess I should probably talk to the midwife about it, but I'm starting to have this fear that she's gonna tell me I need to go on bedrest. And I don't know what her response will be when I say, sorry, not an option unless you bring my hubby home. Cuz let's be serious, it is not an option. I live by myself. My husband is somewhere in the middle of the ocean on a boat. Both of our families live on the other side of the country and they all work so it's not like they can come hang out for four months until The Sailor comes back. And I need to eat. So there - not an option.
Plus, I'm ike 99% sure it's just blood sugar issues, which is normal, so we're good.
And although I feel like a Macy's Day Balloon everyone loves telling me I don't look fucking pregnant at all. Oh, I'm 16 weeks pregnant? I should have seen ::insert random female here:: when she was 16 weeks - she looked super pregnant. But do I? Apparently not. Look out world, because eventually I'm gonna snap and kick someone in the shins. That's right, pretty soon someone will be in the middle of saying "you don't look pregnant at all" and WHAM! A swift kick in the shins.
Then I start trying to like justify the fact that I swear, if you had known me before you woud agree I look pregnant now. Then the other person gives me this look like - hmmmmm, probably not. So I procede to say, well, I was in the best shape of my life pre-pregnancy. And if it's a woman I'm talking to, they look at me as if to say "what? you think I was fat before I got pregnant" and if it's a guy he usually says "::insert random female here:: was super skinny before too" and then chuckles to themself.
WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST SAY "Oh you look great!" AND LEAVE AT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, enough bitching for today!
Until next time...
PS - is it just me, or did my belly shrink between weeks 15 and 16? Good grief...

Afon Fathew

The Afon Fathew (English: River Mathew/Fathew) is a river in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. The river is downstream from the Dolgoch Falls which is a popular nature site, and is followed for much of its course by the Talyllyn Railway.
The name of the river in Welsh is Mathew, presumably in origin the personal name Matthew. Due to the rule of consonant mutation, Mathew becomes Fathew following the feminine noun afon ('river'). Likewise, the feminine noun pont ('bridge') gives rise to the name of the hamlet Pontfathew, now considered to be a part of the village of Bryn-crug. In English, the Welsh name Afon Fathew is commonly used, and River Mathew less so. The form River Fathew is also quite common, although it is difficult to justify on a linguistic basis.[1]
The Afon Fathew is a short river and flows in a southwesterly direction from near Dolgoch railway station, joining the River Dysynni to the east of Tywyn near Bryncrug. The Talyllyn Railway runs beside the Afon Fathew for much of its course.[2] The Dolgoch Falls are a series of three waterfalls on the Nant Dol-gôch stream, which is a tributary of the Afon Fathew, and are a popular destination for walkers from Dolgoch station.[3]
The river valley is interesting geologically because it exhibits river capture. Above Dolgoch, the valley is occupied by the River Dysynni. During a glacial period, the valley was blocked by a major landslide at Abergynolwyn, the scar from which can still be seen on the side of the valley. The River Dysynni was thus forced to adopt a new course, and pushed its way through the hills northwestwards to find a new channel in the parallel valley to the north. The River Fathew is made up of the lower tributaries of the former Dysynni which continue to flow down a valley which is disproportionately large relative to the volume of water that flows through it.[4]

It's well established that young voters are "feeling the Bern"—in fact, 51 Million contributors S.E. Cupp and Krystal Ball discussed this just last month. Now a new survey of 18- to 26-year-olds, from pollster Frank Luntz, shows why he's the millennial guy—his big issues map almost perfectly onto theirs.
One thousand first- and second-time voters (a group Luntz calls the "Snapchat Generation"—the social media platform sponsored the study) were asked about their political leanings and their outlook on America's future. The answers revealed why Sanders is resonating with young voters: A majority of participants named as their most important issues the same topics that are cornerstones of the Sanders campaign. Just take a look at some of the results:
28 percent believed income inequality is the most pressing issue facing America today. Survey participants were "worried [most] about the widening gap between the rich and poor. The rich aren't paying their fair share and the poor are suffering." 24 percent are worried about the cost of education. They also expressed concern that future Americans won't be able to afford the education they need for success. 38 percent said "corruption" is America's greatest problem. "Greed" came in second at 29 percent. 66 percent believe corporate America "embodies everything wrong with [the country]." 58 percent prefer socialism to capitalism. (Nine percent even expressed support for communism.) 31 percent chose Bernie Sanders as the political figure they liked and respected most. A full 45 percent said, if the election were held today, they would vote for Sanders.
However, youth support is notoriously difficult to count on in politics. It's not that young voters are fickle—it's that they often fail to vote, even after being wildly enthusiastic throughout the lead-up to the big day. Voter turnout is a huge issue for Sanders, because of his dependence on younger voters. He himself blamed low voter turnout for his loss in Nevada.
"I've said over and over again, we will do well when young people, when working-class people come out," Sanders said on Sunday during an appearance on NBC's Meet the Press. "We do not do well when the voter turnout is not large."
Things might work out for Sanders: 87 percent of the study's participants said they are likely to vote in this year's presidential election. Let's hope they do, no matter who they support—for the Snapchat Generation to have their voices heard, they'll have to add voting to their stories.

A lady in the locker room told me, "You should be a movie star because you look gorgeous." She stood in her underwear, and I with my fresh sprayed, big Texas hair sprayed hair, gave her a hug. When someone gives you a compliment like that, what else do you do?
It was an unexpected day. I was sleepy from the restless night before and dehydrated from being sick for two days. Yes, sick. Throwing up and fever kind of sick. I knew I was in bad shape when I noticed crusted throw-up on my shirt and did not change. Maybe I changed before I went to sleep. Most likely, I did not. Really, I do not remember. It was all a blur. All my abdominal muscles were sore from throwing-up.
Then I proceeded to go on a twenty-two mile bike ride, up a few steep climbs. Afterward, I drank a few beers. My legs did not mind the hills, the view at the top, or the ride down.
They told me it would happen. Wired from the Komodo dragon coffee, I realized I was joking with my co-workers, listening to music, and dancing. The day marked the day that I felt like me again. I feel stronger, rooted, and more capable of handling the emotional games.
There is still a part of me that is sad from what I lost, what I gave up, and how I drastically I changed my life around. Today, I am happy and laughing again. You know, laughing a real laugh, laughing from my gut. I am me again.
