St. Mary's Strip's Midnight Swim debuting a brunch buffet with mimosa pitchers, tres leches pancakes
After a long night of swimming in "Ocean Water," St. Mary's Strip social butterflies can return to Midnight Swim for a recovery brunch buffet.
The popular bar is launching its buffet this weekend. The Saturday and Sunday food event will be $15 for the all-you-can-eat spread. Drinks are sold separately but the menu includes "tons of fun" options like $10 mimosa pitchers, a Midnight Swim representative told mySA.com.
Foodies will find brunch staples like eggs, bacon and toast as well as chef specialties like eggs benedict and different kinds of hash browns. If that's not enough to revive senses and stomachs, Midnight Swim will also serve Tres Leches Pancakes and traditional stacks, too.
The 2403 N. St. Mary's St. spot is housed in what was once Chisme. Since the late-August opening, Chisme's menu was still served during the day. Midnight Swim said the Chisme daytime concept is no longer, but some of the Tex-Mex fares from the predecessor will "definitely" be rotated into the new menu as specials.
RELATED: New San Antonio nightlife spots include tequila, late-night pizza and more
Midnight Swim has quickly become a hot spot on the stretch of bars. Each weekend, crowds of bar-hoppers meet up under the blue hues of the neon lights to dance to rap and hip-hop music or enjoy the creative drink menu of cocktails like the seasonal "Holiday Horchata" or the signature "Ocean Water." The bar is expecting the atmosphere to carry over into the next morning, but with food.
"The goal is to have the brunch service reflect our forward-thinking, fun-loving energy," a Midnight Swim representative said. "We want people to come, eat and be able to hang out a little longer and have some fun — hear some good music, meet people and shoot, eat a little more if they want to."
Customers seem ready to do just that.
"Saturday night turn up then Sunday brunch? I think yes," Twitter user @JabkieNicole reacted to the news.
The brunch buffet is offered from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Art gallery VSunio opens a new solo project "Macrorealism" of Yuri German on May 24, 2017.
Under the alias of Yuri German are working two artists: Sergey Gerasimov and Yuri Bakhrushev. The restoration experience, the familiar sight at the pictures from close range and the fine sense of color and texture pushed the authors to create the concept of macrorealism – a fundamentally new direction in art. Macrorealism (from the greek. macros - the big and lat. realis – real, actual) optically increased image of small forms, objects. Each small piece of the visible world, with the maximum scale to the eye of the viewer, is a violation of the usual connections and extensive relations, and the world is not as we see it in reality. The "heroes" of Yuri German's painting are becoming the little red caviar (causing a specific feeling of the caviar in the mouth), pieces of walnut shell (dense and hard) or orange peel (dazzling orange, rough). Referring to the classic painting tradition of the still life, Yuri Herman relates his works not only with the real world, but with the vision of the reality of masters of different painting schools: Italian Caravaggio, Dutch painters of the 17th century Willem Calf and Peter Klas and Russian impressionist Igor Grabar. Interaction with a classical painting tradition is not possible for the contemporary artist without a game and the way to organize the associative array. Today it's impossible and unnecessary to write as Dutch artist of the 17th century, but the ways of interpretation and dialogue with the classical tradition are infinitely varied. The art - works of Yuri German involve us into a fascinating game, give to the viewers the opportunity to create their own associative array for each painting. In the paintings "Rhythmic disappearance", "C'est La Vie", "The Fact", "Mulled Wine", " The Weightlessness", " The Ara Pacis", " Self-portrait", "The Forbidden Fruit" and two triptychs "THREE.PTYCH" and "Favorite women" viewer can feel the relationship between things in the field of the picture, the viewer's eyes are traveling over the objects' surface, which is available in the Yuri German's still life not only to sight but also to the sense of touch, the vision itself is endowed with tactile ability. Tactile augmented the sound (the sound of a glass thin "ring"), gustatory associations (sour pomegranate or orange). Thus, the artist plays another theme associated with a classic still life – an allegory of the 5 senses (sight, taste, touch, hearing, smell). The fascinating effect occurs when the artist multiplies a small fragment of the real world on the canvas. Looking at the picture, the viewer, not even the most sophisticated, at some point realizes that it can't be, it can not touch. But painting as an art has always balanced between two extremes: conditional and illusory. It is the clear awareness of this illusory and contingent makes the paintings of Yuri German modern.

I'm using Forte as my shell, with Imposcar and Battery 2 in the rack. They work fine together, except for some inconsistent clocking with the Imposcar. But when I go to save the shell, it crashes everytime. Not an obvious crash, but a Not Responding PC crash.
Wondering if anyone else is having problems with this combo of plug ins.
Forte guys are looking into it, but they don't own the plugs, so it's a bit difficult to troubleshoot!

If a patient is less than 85% of normal for any specific test, then it will be obvious to both the chiropractor and the patient that some training is required. These tests provide unmistakable evidence to persuade your patients of the value of exercises in your practice.

Mercury Athletic: Valuing the Opportunity
The background of this paper we need to mention is that West Coast Fashions, Inc. (WCF), a large designer and marketer of branded apparel announced a strategic reorganization calling for a divestiture of certain assets, and one of the divisions it intended to shed was Mercury Athletic, its wholly owned footwear subsidiary. John Liedtke, the head of business development for Active Gear, Inc. (AGI), a privately held athletic and casual footwear company, contemplated an acquisition opportunity of Mercury that would significantly improve his business. So, he wanted to evaluate this opportunity. This paper introduces the basic situation and feathers of current athletic and casual footwear industry and raises that active management of inventory and production lead times are critical success factors. And then talks about the history, marketing, products and relate revenue and income of AGI, especially mentions its financial policy and performance. In addition, the case researches the history of Mercury, analyzing its products, production and operations, financial performance, and development of four main segments. Last but not least, the research tells us that Liedtke used base case assumptions to value Mercury, and also wanted to consider the value of possible synergies as well.
Note: EBIT equals to the consolidated operating income, and the tax rate is 40%.
Cost of equity, cost of debt, WACC and the leverage effect
(1) Use 5-year U.S. Treasury obligation yield 4.69%, as the riskless rate for the period would correspond with the 5-year period of foreseeable cash flows. (2) For risk premium = expected market return - riskless rate, we can find in Exhibit 3 that the compound annual growth return (CAGR) 9.7% as the expected return from the market. (3) Because Liedtke estimated that the Mercury has the same degree of leverage of AGI currently used, which is 20%, debt divided by the market value of AGI's invested capital, the...

6 Essential Skills You Need in a Social Media Manager Job Description
No one ever thought social media management was relevant--let alone a career. Find the right person starting with a social media manager job description.
No one ever thought social media management was relevant--let alone a career. Find the right person starting with a social media manager job description.
The last decade has seen the creation of jobs that simply did not exist ten years ago. SEO specialists, app developers, and wall scouters (those in the fashion world who hunt for photo and Instagram backdrops, of course) did not exist prior to the opportunities created thanks to the accelerated enhancements in technology taking place. One of the most popular and necessary jobs that has become almost a basic requirement amongst large and small companies alike, is that of the social media manager.
While many small brands think they either don't need a social media presence and, therefore, a social media manager, or that they can handle the tasks one would perform, the truth is that there are numerous reasons why a social media manager is crucial to your small business. We've put together the following post to help highlight some of these reasons and make your decision a no-brainer.
Bonus: Download a free guide to learn how to use social media monitoring to boost sales and conversions today. No tricks or boring tips—just simple, easy-to-follow instructions that really work.
Occasionally you hear someone's job title but can't imagine what this person actually does every day when seated at their desk (Honestly, what would their browser history show?). For many small business owners, the title "social media manager" conjures up such confusion. To clarify the general job description of a social media manager, we turned to Monster.com as a leader in career advice and resources. According to Monster.com, "social media managers are responsible for developing and implementing marketing strategies for a business's social media sites. This might include blogging, creating social media profiles, managing regular posts and responding to followers."
Not only that, but "social media managers must stay at the leading edge of industry trends, so they can create a marketing strategy that generates inbound leads, gains followers, and creates a positive image for the company. They are also responsible for regularly evaluating the success of their marketing efforts and tweaking their marketing strategy as needed." While just recognizing this list of responsibilities and tasks as quite comprehensive should make the necessity of a social media manager clear, the following list of reasons should emphasize this.
While often believed to be a divided area, SEO has great impact on your social media strategy. A social media manager knows this, and knows how to optimize SEO by aligning it with the overall social media plan. As marketing approaches with inbound focuses, both SEO and social media have the ability to bring your customers and audience members to you with the potential to build actual relationships and communicating with them, rather than at them. SEO and social media are both directed by content, and as Forbes explains "content is the cornerstone of your SEO strategy, and your social media manager is the gatekeeper and promoter of much of this content." When thinking about your social media manager's approach to SEO, Forbes suggests asking yourself the following questions:
It seems obvious but your social media manager must have social media skills. This includes knowing what type of content works best on what platform, optimizing content accordingly, as well as understanding the different nuances of each platform.
They should know how to engage an audience through social media posts and interactions, and should hopefully find some joy in doing just that. Social media is one of those skills that is not as easy as it may seem to the untrained professional, so you need an expert who can truly take your brand's online presence to the next level.
With our recent blog post highlighting the importance of social media as a customer service tool, a social media manager will know how to best communicate with your customers and audience members. If your customers see your branded account posting inspirational quotes and product images on a regular basis, but ignoring their direct inquiries and social media comments, this will have obvious negative implications for your company.
A social media manager will know how to best handle all customer interactions, and as Forbes explains, "A successful social media manager knows that your social media presence is your brand's face online; that everything they say or do on social media is a representation of the brand – for good or for bad."
Just as a carpenter is only as good as his saw skills, a social media manager is a master of the tools they use. If you still think your small business doesn't need a social media manager, think of how long it took you to simply figure out how to use any of the new programs on your computer when you first got started. A social media manager comes with a deep knowledge and comprehensive understanding of the tools in their digital tool belt, and will know how to use these tools to direct the marketing strategy at hand.
They have most likely undergone training, like Hootsuite Academy, for example, related to how to best use their preferred social media management tools, and can therefore seamlessly apply their knowledge to your content marketing strategy without any additional time dedicated to learning and training.

As you have come to recognize by now, a social media manager is a skilled jack-of-all-trades. Along with being an expert in everything social media, customer service, and SEO, a social media manager has copywriting skills that will be invaluable to your small business. The ability to convey ideas in a clear and precise way can mean the difference between a sale and a business fail.
When your customers and audience members can easily understand the messages being conveyed on your social media channels, there is an obviously higher chance that they will leave with a positive sentiment towards your brand. As Forbes explains, your social media manager "will be communicating with customers on a daily basis – and 99 percent of this communication will be in writing."
While much of your social media managers output will be in writing, visual content to accompany posts is crucial. The right photo can mean a post gets shared a hundred times rather than ten times, and having someone who knows what images will work, and when, is invaluable to your organization.
A social media manager will also have general knowledge of design in order to create visually appealing graphics to coordinate with appropriate posts–a skill that is incredibly valuable in today's media landscape. With video an ever-increasing component of social media strategies, we explain in our post outlining skills social media managers will need in 2016 that a social media manager will "know great video when they see it, and most importantly have a firm grasp of social video trends and how they fit into each major network. Certain networks, like Vine and live-streaming tools Meerkat and Periscope, also have a far lower expectation of quality, so the average smartphone user can become a video content creator for your brand."

A lot is written these days about how the basic blocking techniques in Karate/Taekwondo are not really "blocks", but close quarters strikes, releases from grabs/holds, joint locks etc. It is often pointed out that though we practice these "blocks" against straight punches, the creators of Karate would not have been facing that type of attack. So we have "blocks" that don't really work, practiced against techniques that we are not likely to be attacked with. They only really work with a compliant partner with a pre-arranged attack.

Bunkai And Comparison Of Karate/TKD's Age Uke (Rising Block) & Wing Chun's Bong Sau (Wing Arm Block)
Here we take a look at 2 blocks which are very similar. Wing Chun's Bong Sau (Wing Arm Block) and the Age Uke (Rising Block) used in Karate, Teakwondo and Tang Soo Do. The advantage of comparing techniques between different styles is that sometimes you get clues as to how they originated. Wing Chun is based on Snake Kung Fu and Crane Kung Fu. One of the main influences on Okinawan Karate was White Crane Kung Fu, so there would appear to be some common roots.
Furthermore, by looking at how another style uses its techniques can often give clues as to extra applications for which you can use your own techniques. This is particularly advantageous to Karate, TaeKwonDo and Tang Soo Do practitioners as a lot of our original applications have been lost along the way.

ONE of Scotland's most famous restaurants wants regulars past and present to feature in a new mural.
The Ubiquitous Chip, a Glasgow dining institution, has commissioned Glasgow School of Art graduate Michael Lacey to produce a new mural – 40 years after artist Alasdair Gray captured likenesses of the restaurant's then regular diners.
The eatery's owners are asking people who have a strong connection with the West End or 'the Chip', as it is affectionately known, to come down this Sunday for a chance to appear in the artwork.
Michael has already started on his work at the Ashton Lane restaurant. It is due to be unveiled in the New Year.
Michael is the only artist other than Lanark author Gray to be invited to create a piece of work for the building since it opened in 1971. Both are graduates of Glasgow School of Art.
The 26-year-old, originally from Liverpool, said: "It's an amazing boast to be on the list as one of the two artists who have painted murals at the Chip.
"This is my first big commission since I graduated in 2009 – I've got a spring in my step coming in to paint it every day."
Michael was approached to paint the mural by Chip owner Colin Clydesdale and his partner Carol Wright following a stint working as a waiter at the couple's other restaurant, Stravaigin, while still a student.
Carol, 51, said: "We wanted something on the other side of the building to Alastair's mural.
"We wanted it to keep the ethos of the Chip, which is very Scottish with quirky bits, and that's what Michael is doing very well. He's following in the footsteps of Alasdair.
"We've seen the same faces coming into the Chip for years so we wanted to put them on the wall."
The artwork is part of the restaurant's 40th anniversary celebrations, which also saw a 3D-animated mural installed by Gray earlier this year.
Gray's original mural, Florid Jungle, was painted in 1976. A second, called Arcadia, can be seen in the restaurant's back stairwell and features Chip staff and local faces from the 70s. He completed the first stage in 1981 before returning in 2001 to add some extra characters.
Owner Colin said: "The Chip mural's have always been a living history of Glasgow's West End and – like Alasdair's – Michael's work will be a talking point for decades."
The free open session will take place in the upstairs bar of Ubiquitous Chip, in Ashton Lane, from 6.30pm on Sunday.

MOORESTOWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Destination Maternity Corporation (NASDAQ: DEST) (the "Company") announced today that the Company and Chief Executive Officer Marla Ryan have extended from July 30, 2018 to September 30, 2018 the date by which they intend to enter into a new and more complete employment agreement.

Today's morning motivation workout mix comes from the MDE as he, according to Muscle Madness, trains for the WWE (last I heard the WWE thing was dead).
As a result of these workouts, the 45-year-old Icy Hot endorser with some of the scariest looking feet in the world said he has lost 20 pounds during his 30-day Roc Fit Transformation Challenge. More shocking than the weight loss was Shaq admitting he was 400 pounds(!) with 15% body fat a month ago. That's more surprising than (as Barkley would say) "his fat ass" being able to fit into a Buick Lacrosse (I own a Buick Lacrosse and I feel cramped even though I'm 6'0″ 190).
For the old school basketball fans who remember watching a young, lean Shaq going coast-to-coast like a small forward, if watching him working out doesn't motivate you to get back to the weight of your younger self, then maybe watching a 48-year-old Terry Crews in the gym might…
And I can't mention Crews and Shaq together without mentioning the time I watched a 44-year old Shaq dunk on Crews during the 2016 Cheez-It Munch Mania Celeb Game.
Here's a timeline of Shaq's listed weight over the past 30 years.
- 1987 (HS junior): 250
- 1991 (LSU College): 294
- 1992 (Rookie Season in Orlando): 301
- 1999 (Lakers): 340
- 2002 (Lakers): 380
- 2003 (Lakers) 345
- 2004 (Lakers): 370
- 2005 (Heat): 320
- 2010 (Celtics): 345
- 2017 (Summer): 380

Two more police officers killed after vehicle hits landmineThursday, May 25, 2017 18:32
Two more police officers died Thursday morning after their vehicle ran over a landmine on the Malelei-Kulan Road in Liboi, Garissa County, bringing to 11 the number of security officers killed by roadside bombs in the past two days.
Police sources said two other officers in the vehicle were injured, one critically, and were admitted to hospital.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but Kenya's eastern border with Somalia is notoriously restive and prone to attacks by Al- Shabaab terrorists.
Al-Shabaab on Wednesday claimed responsibility for two separate roadside bomb attacks in Garissa and Mandera counties, which killed nine Administration Police officers.
Garissa has suffered several attacks linked to Al- Shabaab in the last few years, including the 2015 attack on a university in which 148 people were killed.
The latest attacks come days after police warned of increased terror activity in the area.
Al-Shabaab militants "are dispatching operatives into parts of north eastern region to lay improvised explosive devices (IEDs) along routes used by our security patrols in efforts to frustrate our security operations at the border areas," a police statement said.
Inspector-General of Police Joseph Boinnet warned that some members of the terrorist group had sneaked into the country and were planning attacks.
Al-Shabaab, which has launched devastating attacks on civilians in Kenya, says it is fighting because Kenya sent troops into Somalia in 2011 after a string of attacks and kidnappings on Kenyan soil.
The Kenyan soldiers are part of a 22,000-strong peacekeeping force intended to shore up the weak UN-backed government.

Panel of Grand Rapids experts
On Monday, there was a panel of Grand Rapids organizational leaders that spoke on the recent rise of Grand Rapids. More than a few times, the humility of West Michigan was brought up as to why the region hasn't garnered more attention.
So, I'll break that model, and share some of the things that make this city great that they spoke about.
Included in the panel were Janet Korn from Experience GR, Elissa Hillary from Local First, Tim Mroz from The Right Place and Derek Hunderman of Colliers International.
Hunderman said that a few years ago, national and international companies wouldn't field calls from West Michigan real estate companies, nothing was out of town, Grand Rapids is truly a homegrown city.
"National investors would hang up before they even heard anything about the project," he said.
Now, companies are listening, and soon, they should be coming.
Hillary discussed the Local First movement. Ten years ago, when Local First started, it was one of maybe three in the nation. Now there are hundreds of organizations like it in the United States. She said she looks at the East and West Coasts and how they're supposed to be the leaders in "social enterprise," Grand Rapids and West Michigan have long been practicing it.
She said it is proven that communities that look local are in general healthier. From higher civic engagement to healthier cities because they tend to be more walkable.
What makes Grand Rapids great, is that it weaves many identities into one. From its sustainable and local first ideals, to its historic manufacturing identity to a huge student population to a thriving arts and cultural community to the current beer craze, it's all one city.
It's also left out of many national conversations because it's "The region that built itself." Also often being lumped in with Detroit hurts. National media poorly portrays Detroit and most of the nation doesn't known better, so Grand Rapids and West Michigan, despite a surge, gets left behind with Detroit.
The proximity to other economic regions also will help in the long run. From proximity to Detroit and Chicago, to the outdoor sport haven of Northern Michigan to some of the best freshwater beaches in the world just west of the city, you can have almost anything in just an hour or two.
The quality of life is on the rise as well.
Grand Rapids doesn't sound like a big city, and it often is dismissed, even in GQ which called it a "Backwater Flyover." But when a economic consultant comes in and compares it to Brooklyn, Portland and Oakland, you know you're on the right track.
With Pure Michigan about to launch a national ad introducing the United States to Grand Rapids, a whole lot more people should soon learn that Grand Rapids is the real deal. A vibrant city with a lot to offer.

DUI Consequences – Chandler
Drunk driving laws in Arizona are very strict. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is considered a serious crime with serious consequences. Beyond the legal consequences, the personal toll on an individual and on a family can be tremendous. Above all, seek to prevent the DUI arrest from turning into a DUI conviction.
DUI Consequences in Chandler
Call Rosenstein Law Group today at 480-248-7666 to learn how our legal team can help prevent or mitigate consequences of a DUI such as:
Jail: Jail time is a real possibility if you have been charged with drunk driving in Chandler or anywhere in Arizona, even for a first-time offense.
Ignition interlock device requirement: You will have to pay for the device and the installation if you are ordered to install an interlock device in your car. Every time you start your vehicle, you'll have to blow. Besides the expense and annoyance, you will continue to be under the watch of the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (MVD).
Auto insurance rates: Your car insurance rates are likely to go up, and with a DUI conviction, you may be required to obtain SR-22 insurance for high-risk drivers.
Driver's license suspension: The Arizona MVD will give you a minimum mandatory 90-day license suspension after a drunk driving arrest. A skilled attorney will seek to reduce this suspension. Contact us today to learn about ways to preserve or restore your driving privileges.
Fees and fines: DUI convictions are expensive; they can cost thousands of dollars in fees and fines as well as a bill to cover the cost of your jail time. You may see hiring a lawyer as a big expense at this time, but fines, fees and other expenses could easily add up to the cost of your legal fees or more.
After your DUI arrest, talk to a lawyer to learn how to avoid the most severe consequences. A skilled attorney familiar with implementing aggressive DUI defense can protect your rights and minimize the consequences you'll face if convicted.

If there is one pastime that is universally enjoyed, it is video gaming. People around the world enjoy playing games on their computers, cell phones and televisions. Read this article to learn some great video game tips. Avoid buying the costly edition of games, unless they are a favorite. Many times, video games will have a special edition, but it isn't necessary to have in order to play the game. By not purchasing the special edition you can save money on the video game and still enjoy it. Be careful when signing up for online games. There can be an annual or monthly fee to play. You need to view a site first if your kids are asking to join it with their friends. Research whether any fees are involved and determine whether they are fair. Just good online Impossible Game.
Once your child enters high school, you may be tempted to allow them to play without much supervision since they are older. However, it is important to still limit their play time, as certain games can really draw kids in and keep them playing for hours. This isn't healthy, and you need to enforce playing in moderation. Save money on video games through online re-sellers or auction sites. Many sites like Ebay or Amazon offer a wide variety of video games at deeply discounted prices. Look for sellers who have a highly positive rating from many buyers. This is a great way to stretch your gaming dollars.
If you're a parent and you want to know more about what your kids are playing on their game systems, simply find out the titles. When you go online, you can find out the rating, some reviews, and some walkthroughs. These things will help you to know what your kids are getting into at every level. Build hand strength. Squeezing a tennis ball is not just a great way to relieve stress, it can also build up the strength in your hands. This is essential for those marathon gaming sessions that can leave your hands cramped and sore. Having more hand strength also gives you greater control, giving you an edge in all your games.
Always see if there's a downloadable demo of a game on your console. A lot of video game companies will put out short demos that will allow you to try a game before you buy it. Since most of the games systems have hard drives these days, you won't have to rent a game just to try it. Stretching is essential. Just like with any repetitive action, prolonged gaming can lead to sore hands and, in extreme cases, carpel tunnel syndrome. To maximize your gaming stamina, stretch your hands frequently. Start with a few basic stretches before you sit down to game, and remember to take breaks to stretch out your fingers during your game.
The popularity of video games is growing all over the world by leaps and bounds. The people that play video games doubles ever year, so it makes sense to give it a shot. Play whatever it is that floats your boat, and use the tips from this article to enjoy the ride!

The UK Government has announced plans to introduce a £2 maximum stake on Fixed Odds Betting Terminals located in High Street betting offices. If the limit is imposed, there will be a significant reduction in tax revenues that will be addressed by increasing the Remote Gambling Duty paid by online operators.
In the UK, there are multiple classes of gambling machines or Fixed Odds Betting Terminals (FOBTs). The most common can be found in casinos (B1), in High Street betting offices (B2), and in games arcades (B3). Each class has its own stake and payout limits, and for many years campaigners have been arguing that the upper stake limit for class B2 FOBTs (£100) is too high and can result in vulnerable gamblers losing too much in one session. By comparison, the upper stake limit for B1 casino FOBTs is just £5.00.
Last Thursday, the UK´s Minister for Sport and Civil Society – Tracey Crouch – announced the maximum stake limit for B2 FOBTs would be reduced to £2 "to help stop extreme losses by those who can least afford it." To prevent vulnerable gamblers simply moving from High Street FOBTs to online casinos, the Minister also announced plans that will force online operators to implement spending limits on customers until affordability checks had been conducted.
The Financial Implications of the FOBT Limit
According to the UK´s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), the reduction to a £2 maximum stake will cost the bookmaking industry £639 million per year in lost profits. The Stock Market reacted by slashing the share prices of High Street betting office operators such as William Hill, Paddy Power/Betfair, and GVC – the owners of Ladbrokes and Corals. The share price of 888 Holdings also tumbled despite the company not having a High Street presence in the UK.
The reason for 888 Holdings´ share price tumbling is because the UK Government charges 25% tax on profits from FOBTs. If the DCMS has correctly calculated how much the bookmaking industry will lose in profits each year, this means the UK Government will lose ~£160 million in tax revenues. The UK Government plans to recover this shortfall by increasing the Remote Gambling Duty paid by UK-licensed online operators, which currently stands at 15% on Gross Gaming Revenues.
The increase in Remote Gambling Duty will leave less money for UK-licensed online operators to offer promotions and rewards. Online poker players in the UK already pay a higher % of rake for lower rewards, and this situation is likely to get worse depending on how online operators choose to address their loss of income from High Street FOBTs and increased tax burden. We anticipate they will act in unison, despite PokerStars and 888 Poker not experiencing a loss of FOBT income.
There could be Further Tax Increases in the Pipeline
The proposed increase in Remote Gambling Duty is not the only tax increase UK-licensed online operators could soon face. Last September, the Gambling Commission revealed a 30% increase in the number of UK gamblers with a "serious gambling habit" and estimated there were a further two million more "at risk of addiction". This prompted discussions about a new tax on the gaming industry to fund problem gambling treatment – an issue that reportedly costs the UK Government £1.2 billion per year.
Although online operators will not necessarily have to fund the full cost of problem gambling treatment, other proposed measures designed to reduce the appeal of gambling are likely to be introduced. These will undoubtedly include restrictions on advertising and tighter controls on how online operators manage the accounts of "at risk" gamblers, but could also include the elimination of first deposit bonuses and VIP loyalty programs that could be interpreted as an incentive to encourage gambling.
Unfortunately, it looks as if responsible online poker players will suffer as a result of High Street bookmakers allowing problem gambling on their premises to get out of hand and online operators failing to comply with their responsible gambling obligations. Hopefully future changes to the Remote Gambling Duty will see online poker taxed at a different rate to other online activities (similar to the system being implemented in Pennsylvania) but, at present, it appears the focus of the UK government is on preventing problem gambling at all costs – regardless of the cost to online poker players.

Punxsutawney Phil predicts….
I am an internet-enabled freak. I gathered the family around the PC this morning and we watched the groundhog make his "prediction" live. I've never watched this happen live. Maybe it's my fear of being sucked in to repeating this day over and over like Bill Murray.
I'm not sure what is stranger – watching a furry rodent speak "groundhogese" to a man in a top hat or watching multiple men in top hats being introduced with weird nicknames like "The Big Windmaker" and "Stump Warden".
Groundhogs do look like cute pets but Doug Schwartz, a zookeeper and groundhog trainer at the Staten Island Zoo, is quoted on Wikipedia as saying " [Their] natural impulse is to kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out. You have to work to produce the sweet and cuddly." Sounds fun, right?
I don't know if I should believe the rodent or the weather people. We've had 60 degree weather here for a week and the flowers are starting to come up. I put up my garage heater last week because it's just been in the way. The "official" prediction is for an early spring here. I hope they are right!

Frozen Egg
Name: unnamed
Species: Dark Serendin
Birthday: Friday, April 6, 2018
Owner: Anonymous
This egg is covered in both scales and hair.
The serendin is a predatory creature that is living in many regions of the world. Even though it lacks the size of a dragon or the raw strength of a Kuras Tiger, it makes up for these shortcomings through speed and agility. It moves with astonishing grace, able to walk along slim poles and to balance on ledges that seem far too small to hold its bulk. Its nimbleness makes it well-suited to both mountainous and wooded areas, as it can move up steep slopes and through treetops with equal ease and speed. Coastal serendins prefer rough shores, where they hunt fish between the reefs and steal eggs from the birds nesting in the cliffs above. These creatures can bend their bodies almost like snakes, easily able to twist around and snap at someone approaching them from any side. Their manes make them look bulkier than they are and they are able to wiggle through openings that seem too small for them. Hair from the mane or tail of a serendin is seen as a good luck charm among common folk, said to give the one carrying it the gift of insight and intuition.

Niarametrics reported last week that HealthPlus Limited appointed Chidi Okoro as Chief Transformation Officer.
However, the announcement set off a chain of allegations and counter-accusations, including online media mudslinging with both sides trying to court public sympathy for who is in control of the company.

P&ID dispute: UK Court orders $200 million guarantee to FG
Nigeria's Foreign Exchange Reserves was boosted after a London Court ordered the release of $200Million placed as security in the case against P&ID.
A London Commercial Court has ordered the release of a $200 million guarantee as security to be paid to the Nigerian government in the P&ID $10 billion Arbitral Claim.
This was disclosed in a social media statement by the Central Bank of Nigeria on Tuesday.
Nigeria's Foreign Exchange Reserves was this morning boosted by over $200Million when the London Commercial Court ordered the release of the $200Million guarantee put in place as security in respect of the execution of the much discredited P&ID $10 Billion Arbitral Claim.
— Central Bank of Nigeria (@cenbank) September 29, 2020
Nairametrics reported earlier this month that The Federal Government secured a landmark victory in its bid to overturn a $10 billion arbitration judgment award against it in a case against Process and Industrial Developments (P&ID).
READ: Nigeria seeks bank documents of former President, others over $9.6 billion P&ID case
The Court said that Nigeria has established a strong prima case that the contract was procured by bribes paid to insiders as part of a larger scheme to defraud Nigeria. He said that there is also a strong prima face case that the P&ID's main witness in the arbitration, Mr Quinn, gave perjured evidence to the tribunal, and that contrary to that evidence, P&ID was not in the position to perform the contract.
In today's statement, the CBN said, "Nigeria's Foreign Exchange Reserves was this morning boosted by over $200Million when the London Commercial Court ordered the release of the $200Million guarantee put in place as security in respect of the execution of the much discredited P&ID $10 Billion Arbitral Claim."

"The court also awarded a £70,000 cost in favour of Nigeria in addition to an earlier award of £1.5m."
On January 31, 2017, an arbitration tribunal had ruled that Nigeria should pay P&ID, the sum of $6.6 billion as damages and breach of contract after a 2010 deal for a gas project in the Niger Delta part of Nigeria collapsed. The pre and post judgement accrued interest of 7% has seen the amount standing against Nigeria, rise to almost $10 billion, an amount that will be a serious dent on the country's external reserve.
FG to revitalize rice farms in rice producing regions
The Minister stated that rice production is expected to increase as the government continues to revitalize rice farmers.
The Federal Government has stated that Rice Farms in Anambra State and other regions will be revitalized to boost rice production, create jobs and also improve the living standard of the people in the State and the region.
This was disclosed by the Minister of State, Agriculture and Rural Development, Hon. Mustapha Baba Shehuri, during the assessment of Federal Government Rice Farms/Mills in Omor and Umerum in Anambra State.
Given the importance of rice as a staple in Nigeria, the Minister stated that the Federal Government is taking steps to achieve self-sufficiency in rice production, and this is evident in the policies of the government in achieving food and nutrition security, import substitution and promotion of inclusive economic growth across all sectors of the economy.
READ: CBN says 22 banks to restructure over 35,000 loans due to COVID-19
Government Policy Interventions in Agriculture and Rural Development has helped to develop the rice sector, and these interventions include the provision of farm inputs such as agrochemicals, organic fertilizers, knapsack sprayers, planting & harvesting equipment such as reapers, mini combine harvesters, threshers at a subsidized rate in order to increase productivity.
The Minister added that these policies have not only increased the quantity of rice produced annually but interventions through the provision of modern rice milling machines to small/medium scale processors, has also helped to improve the quality of Nigeria milled rice to international standard.

However, Nigeria's rice consumption still holds higher than production, but government interventions through myriads of policies have increased rice production from 4.8 million metric tons of milled rice in 2015 to over 6 million metric tons by 2019 with a huge reduction in the nation's deficit. Hon. Mustapha Baba Shehuri explained that production is expected to increase as the government continues to revitalize rice farmers.
Shehuri said that "the Ministry has established 23 Paddy Aggregation Centers nationwide to aggregate and store paddy. The centres were given to members of the Paddy Dealers Association of Nigeria (PRIDAN) under the public-private partnership arrangement".

In like manners, there will be the dissemination of modern rice production and processing technologies, through capacity building of farmers and processors directly and also in conjunction with the international donor agencies such as Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), German International Cooperation (GIZ), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), Competitive Africa Rice Initiative (CARI), AfricaRice.
He reiterated that the Ministry is currently responding to the challenges of food availability posed by the COVID-19 pandemic by supporting smallholder farmers nationwide with various inputs including certified seeds of improved varieties of food crops such as rice, maize, sorghum, wheat, orange-flesh sweet potato, groundnut cowpea, soybean, yam, as well as cash crops like cashew, cocoa, sesame, oil palm, gum Arabic. Others include herbicides, pesticides and agricultural machinery such as rice reapers, transplanters, power tillers motorized sprayers and processing equipment.
These interventions are expected to alleviate the effect of the pandemic on farmers and ensure that they keep producing food for the country.

Each half-hour episode will consist of interwoven short sketches, with some characters recurring from week-to-week.
The name "Portlandia" refers to the sculpture of the same name above the entrance of the Portland Building on Fifth Avenue in downtown Portland. The statue also appears in the opening montage title sequence.

Directional Services Inc., a licensed electrical and utility contractor based out of Hope Mills, will be doing some electrical work for the Town of Clayton along Vinson Road this month.
On and off for the next two weeks, drivers and residents may see crews using machines to bore underground holes in the public right-of-way along the edge of Vinson Road, between Neuse Ridge and Heathgreen Drives.
These crews are installing underground conduit, or piping, which will later be used to run Clayton Public Power electrical lines through.
To work safely, there will be times that crews will need to close a lane of traffic along Vinson Road. Those crews will help direct vehicles safely around these temporary lane closures.
We thank everyone in advance for their patience as Clayton Public Power takes on these underground electric system improvements.
The Town has received several questions from residents in the Windsor Green neighborhood. Windsor Green does not lie within the Town of Clayton town limits, nor does it fall within the ETJ, or extra territorial jurisdiction of the Town.
Residents may type their address into this map to find where they lie in regard to town limits and ETJ boundaries. address will not be found in the Town limits. Click here to see a PDF of the Town of Clayton town limit and ETJ boundaries.
ETJ expansion means that property will come under the Town's land use ordinances; i.e. zoning, subdivision, and building codes and regulations and persons would come to Clayton obtain permits. Whereas, when a property is annexed into the Town, it follows all the Town Code of Ordinances.
One of the most frequently heard comments is that ETJ means the land will be annexed into the Town. The last Town of Clayton initiated annexation was in May 1992 when properties were annexed in order to provide much needed water and sewer services. ETJ expansion does not mean property will be annexed and, in fact, ETJ has no legal relationship to annexation whatsoever. The Town of Clayton is not working to annex land in this area. In fact, House Bill 925, passed into law in 2012 by the General Assembly, put several protections into place against this. It requires 1) that a city provide at least one year advance public notice of its intent to annex, 2) notify affected residents directly by mail of its desire to annex property, and 3) hold a referendum on the proposed annexation during the next election. Now, if a town or city wants to annex nearby properties (for whatever reason) it must receive a majority vote of approval by the people who are affected in order to proceed. If a majority of the residents don't approve the annexation request, it does not go forward and the town or city is prohibited from trying to annex the same area again for 36 months.

acid techno punk
"I was in a band called Hagar the Womb at this time and I got involved in the anarcho punk scene (Crass/ Mob/ Poison Girls and similar bands) playing at punk squats and anarcho activist centres, and loved the DIY culture it inspired.All this stuff from 77 to 84 is the glue which cemented everything that followed. The DIY approach to making music, and the attitude and anti-authoritarianism of punk came through in all the music I made, and was the blueprint and inspiration for the SUF labels, the SUF collective, and all the music we went on to create between us all. Julian and Aaron were both squatters when I met them and were friends of Hackney punks, who themselves were descendants of this same scene, just a generation on, and likewise one of the first squat parties with techno that I went too was part organised by old punk mates (Dan, from the Apostles and later Look Mummy Clowns, and Danny Blank). "
From a recent interview with Chris Liberator in LouderThan War
It is a good piece of continuing countercultural history which shows how different strands connect.The 'anarcho-punk stuff' can be traced backwards to the late sixties/ early seventies and then, as Chris does, taken forwards into the nineties and right up to the present. With a loop which sees Chris playing for Hagar the Womb again...
Here is some more of the first draft of history..

- HerbstCon is a different German furry convention held in the autumn.
H-Con is a furry convention currently held at the Petershof in Erbach, Odenwald, Hessen, Germany between the cities of Frankfurt and Heidelberg. The annual conference is hosted each autumn by the AFC-Group which also organised AYCE.
H-Con claims to be an "old-time" furry convention, where every participating fur becomes a part of the staff and the food supply is plentiful (all you can eat). The event is primarily organized by Atalon Deer of the H-Con Committee.
H-Con 15: "More than nine Tails?" is scheduled to take place over October 2-6, 2019.[1]
Past events[edit]
- H-Con 1: "The Forgotten Tails" took place in 2005 over October 2-3 and attracted about 45 furs.
- H-Con 2: "The Tails on Fire" took place in 2006 over September 29-October 2, with 53 attendees. A "Dead Dog Night" after-party was held over October 2-3.
- H-Con 3 "Tails from the Twilight World" took place in October 4-7, 2007 with the "Dead Dog Night" after-party to follow over October 7-8.[2] 48 participants stayed on site, plus 5 off-site and 4 day guests. 1070 kg of food and drinks were consumed during the con. The activities included operation of radio-controlled helicopters and the production of a movie.
- H-Con 4 took place in October 2-5, 2008 at the same location; again the number of on-site participants was limited to 50.
- H-Con 5: "Tails from the Ashes" encountered issues with the former con-site that threatened to endanger the convention. It was held at one of two alternative con-sites that have been found and evaluated.[3]
- H-Con 6: "Tailbusters" took place in 2010 on a new and a little bigger location next to Bühl in the Black Forest, close to France. Since the convention was closer to the Swiss, H-Con got more furs from Switzerland. Due many requests the convention was now set up for a maximum of 60 furs.
- H-Con 7: "Where No Tail Has Gone Before" was at the same location next to Bühl and it was heavily loaded with SciFi content.
- H-Con 8: "Wild Tails West" was announced for October 3-7, 2012.[4]
- H-Con 9: "The Sorcerer's Nine Tails" took place from October 9-13, 2013.[5]
- H-Con 10: "X-Tails" took place from October 1-5, 2014.
- H-Con 11: "The Curse of the Black Tail" took place over September 30-October 4, 2015.
- H-Con 12: "Tails of Brass and Steam" took place from September 28-October 2, 2016.
- H-Con 13: "... Tails ..." took place over October 3-8, 2017.[6]
- H-Con 14: "Needles in the Doll's Tail" took place over October 3-7, 2018.[7]

I live with my mother for the time being. Initially she suggested that I get a puppy now before I move out so that it can interact with my mom's dog and they'd get to know each other before I moved out so that we could visit her with the pup in the future. To that end I found someone selling puppies and inquired.
Now she has changed her mind and is afraid that a new puppy may cause her dog to pee all over the house in order to "mark his territory"
is this a real thing that happens? If it is, are there steps to prevent it from happening? Should I just give up on having a puppy for now?

Autonomy is not freedom; it is the most hideous kind of bondage in existence. This destructive lie, which had its birth in this world at the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, separates man from God who is the Life, the Light and the Truth. Man is never as enslaved as when he departs from God and goes his own foolish way. Truly, as God told our ancient mother Eve, it is dark and dangerous out there and it will eventually result in the ultimate death of the body, soul and spirit

There was a brief item in the NY Times food section this week about Waldy Malouf's new pizza joint in Chelsea. Sounds fantastic: the two toppings they mentioned in the article were:
1) Braised lamb, roasted lemon
2) Arugula, garlic, cheese and fried egg.
I decided to try making the latter last night, using gruyere and goat cheese. (Gruyere for base, then arugula and finely chopped garlic, then four fried eggs over easy with yolks as liquid as I could get them, goat cheese on top.)
Insanely good, even without a wood-fired oven.
Just curious about the best unusual pizza topping various people have encountered.

Stable Floors without the Hassle (By John Clarke, Published in August 2014 CREJ)
Stable Floors without the Hassle Published in the Colorado Real Estate Journal
Multifamily developments can range from simple single-story duplex buildings to several stories of numerous units. They may be constructed of wood, steel or concrete. The ownership may be retained by the original developer or the units sold to individual buyers. Some projects may have common areas for the use by the tenant/owners or consist of simple living units with minimal common amenities.
One thing all these buildings have in common is a main level floor!! OK, that may not be worthy of the drum roll you were hearing as I was leading up to this subject. Floors are certainly not that exciting. Well, they shouldn't be anyway. How can someone get excited about their main level floor? It is something you walk on. You expect it to be level and it should remain dry. You don't want it to squeak. The clinking of the glass in the dining room cabinet when you walk on a bouncy floor can be annoying. A floor should be out of sight and out of mind.
So, how do designers make sure floors are seen and not heard? As most developers and managers of multifamily projects along the Front Range know, our soil here is not too friendly. Mainly, it consists of clay that tends to expand when it gets wet and shrink when it dries. These conditions can play havoc on main level floor systems placed directly on the soil, such as slabs-on-grade. As the soil moves, so does the slab, and everything on it. This is not good when you have just installed an expensive tile surface to make the units more attractive to potential buyers. Cracks are not attractive! These types of floors may be acceptable in a basement, but most multi-family structures do not include basement levels. What is a designer to do?
One approach is to remove these unstable soils to a particular depth. The area is then replaced with a more stable soil and compacted back into place. The slab is then poured directly on this new material. Although the condition is improved, this approach still does stop movement of the floor.
There are ways to strengthen these slabs-on-grade to resist the dreaded cracking and offset the uplift pressures of the soil. The most cost-effective method of strengthening the slab is to use post-tensioned cables, which pre-compress the concrete to control cracking. The slab becomes stiff enough for when the soil wants to lift the slab (it has to lift most of the building, which usually is enough weight to offset the lifting pressures). But, these systems are only good for certain expansive soils and are less effective for smaller building footprints.
Another commonly used system is a structural floor set off the ground. This system eliminates the interaction of the unstable soil from the floor. Often these floors consist of wood framing. But, wood must be kept a minimum distance away from the soil to avoid deterioration. The resulting crawlspace must then be ventilated to control the growth of mold in these enclosed areas. Not a pretty sight! Steel floor framing is an option, but the floor sheathing still is typically wood. What is needed is a stable floor material that will not rot.
This brings us back to concrete. (Remember, it is not "cement"! That's the powdered stuff in the concrete). But, the issue with these floors is they require expensive forming systems to support the wet concrete until it cures. This brings us to a new floor system that does deserve a drum roll!
Tella Firma™ is a patented system that provides a stable floor for multifamily structures. This system eliminates floor movement due to direct interaction with Colorado's unstable soils. Your floor will be seen, but not heard from again!
What is Tella Firma™? First, a grid of piers is installed across the footprint. Then, Tella Firma™ lifting mechanisms are placed at each support. A slab with tensioning cables is poured directly on the ground, and the cables are pulled like any other post-tensioned slab system. Then the magic begins! The threaded rods of the lifting mechanisms are turned from above, lifting the slab off the soil to create a void space of typically 4" to 8". This void separates your floor from the harmful effects of the unstable soil. The slab is supported by the grid of piers. The structure is then built directly on top of this structurally suspended slab.
This system has been used in Texas, where they have similar expansive-type soil, in more than 800 structures. Four such systems have been built in Colorado in the last year, with more being planned. With the concerns over annoying lawsuits in the multifamily industry, a stable floor system helps eliminate one possible area of contention. These systems are cost-competitive compared to other systems that attempt to provide similar stable floors. Plus, the lifting mechanisms, which remain embedded in the slab floors, allows for future adjustability of the foundation if ever needed!
Discover the peace of mind of knowing your floor system will not bother you again!
