Iraq's cabinet approved on Tuesday two projects to develop new export systems for the nation.
It approved the establishment of a pipeline to transport crude oil from oilfields in Rumaila, in Basra, to Aqaba, a port in Jordan. This would increase export capacity by one million barrels per day, according to a statement by the nation's oil ministry.
The second project would see an island and export system established in the Persian Gulf, with an export capacity of two million barrels per day. The statement noted that this could support quicker action in supplying giant oil tankers.
This comes in a climate of increased tension as a total of six tankers have been attacked in recent months; Iraq's Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi said that if trade through the Strait of Hormuz is disrupted, this would be a "major obstacle" to his country's economy.

Getting Your Monies Worth With Sports Betting Picks
Not everyone can make winning picks consistently and no one can teach you how to make winning picks. Reel Deal Slot Machine which is the most famous video game on the internet is also included on their website. The main reason why sports betting systems are created is that they can help people on guessing the outcome of the game and thus, increasing their chance of betting for the right team. Obviously, this is impossible. Note that these records are for sides only and do not include totals.
If you are not smart with how you manage your money, you will only end up hurting your finances. That is why many people take an active interest in it. His service boasted a whopping 80 series win, with only 1 loss in the total 2007 – 2008 NBA season, making a great deal of folks really delighted, but how can he boast this kind of an impressive record. Last year was a good RLM season for NFL sports betting (45-29, 60.8 percent, +11.91), but two sportsbooks that were in the top five in NFL RLM in both seasons. Purchase banner space on sports related websites.
The simple way of betting is that you bet a certain amount on some facts and figures for an event and if you win, you will receive a certain sum of money as determined before. When betting the run line, you allow yourself more chances of winning because it gives you a bit of a cushion. To do this means you should do your research well. But before thinking of placing a bet on any game, it is essential to learn the basics. When John Morrison got his PhD in statistics from Cornell University he was looking for a way to combined both his love for sports and his knowledge of sports which eventually resulted in the best sports betting system I have ever come across called the Sports Betting Champ.
For betting on the web, it does not matter where you are and what time that it is. The Parlay sports betting system therefore offers a reduced level of risk for the bettors since they only need to worry about a win, place or show selection of a combination thereof. Opt for it today and never retrospect your decision. With the constant growth in online sports betting, as well as the development of affiliate marketing, several programs have came to light. Today, on your few clicks away, so many websites specializes in giving sports betting advice.
Why not use the information provided to you to make more intelligent choices and create longer term winning strategies. There are many sports betting systems that can be found online. Just because you feel that you can win from a particular game does not mean you should splurge all your betting money in it. Winning money on sports is not a sprint and we apologize if you think that we can offer you that but if we told you we could we would be lying and we are here with pride and integrity for the long run. Give me odds of losing $75 and winning $100 on a 50-50 coin flip wager.
Making money in online sports betting is not an easy task, and much less if we are attempting to treat our bets in a professional or semi-professional manner. Through a little bit of effort and initiative affiliates can earn a serious amount of money, which is incentive enough for any online user. One option you that will give an edge if one does their due diligence studying pitchers and run production of a team is betting the run line (or spread). These tips are designed to enable you to increase you winning percentage. Last but most important among other sports betting tips would be to adopt a sports betting system that works.
The problem with most of these bogus sports picks you get sent in your email is that the people making these terrible picks have no idea what they are doing it is almost as if they close there eyes and drop their finger or just follow point spreads from Vegas. Difficulty in withdrawing money: Since arbitrage is a real opportunity to make sure winnings, the bookmakers employ tactical measures to deny you the funds in the time when you need these. You will be better off if you find a sports betting blog that brings the solid insight for each and every one of their picks, no matter how many they hit or miss. To other though, more particularly the more experience gamblers, the reason is very simple and precise. People who have a keen interest in basketball, hockey, football and baseball can also place a bet on the total score in the game.
Visit your preferred online sportsbook website and select a team related to that sport. Once you do that you will surely start winning the picks.

Dallas BIM Forum Features ArchiCAD User, Yates Construction
Benjamin Crosby of Yates Construction will be a featured speaker at this week's BIM Forum in Dallas. Scheduled for October 9th and 10th at the Intercontinental Dallas Hotel in Dallas, TX, Crosby's talk will center on the Century Link Project.
Crosby told us that in his experience, when it comes to remodeling a building, ArchiCAD is a quicker and more cost effective software option than others he's tried. Crosby says the CenturyLink Headquarters Technology Center For Excellence project – a 250,000-sf addition to CenturyLink's existing 365,000-sf headquarters in Monroe, LA validated his opinion of ArchiCAD.
ArchiCAD was used to forward the BIM process in the remodeling of the new office building and parking garage. The curved Technology Center is comprised of four levels – including food service, offices, auditoriums, research and data centers, power back up, and intricate architectural features. The mechanical systems are housed in the penthouse. Its exterior contains 37,000-sf of view glass and a green roof. It is distinguished as having one of the largest quantities of photovoltaic electric current tint changing glass on buildings in North America. The five level garage contains a mechanical systems building which supports the Technology Center.
The technology center presented some major construction challenges such as a very aggressive construction schedule, complicated radial geometry, and a design which continued to be finalized well into construction as part of a fast track deployment. Large amounts of information had to be processed quickly to overcome potential problems and delays. This project required unique workflows to compensate for radial geometry -maximizing efficiency and minimizing expensive materials. As construction progressed and the design continued to evolve to meet the owner's needs on the fast track project, the team relied heavily on coordination of feedback which was essential to absorbing design changes quickly.
The project demonstrates how the use of BIM provided clarity to a challenging and complex project through a team of effective people who understand construction and how to communicate that knowledge to the people involved in it.

Three transportation trends that will define 2019
Published on March 14th, 2019
Iteris, a US company, provides consulting services and IoT products that record and predict traffic and weather conditions. Here are CMO Joe Boissy's predictions for 2019.
2018 was an important year for transportation policy and technology. Electric scooters emerged as a last-mile solution, local governments developed innovative new funding models, and in the US the need for an overarching federal transportation communications policy grew stronger.
As we look ahead, it's important to consider how transportation stories will play out. Here are three key trends to keep an eye on, particularly in the United States.
1) Federal policy for connected vehicles and transportation tech firms
Private companies and local governments are heavily influenced by the federal government. And the debate goes on about the spectrum band that should be reserved and used for connected vehicles. The market is watching for a federal policy that could standardise the communication technology and government regulations that impact connected vehicles.
The same is true of the state and municipal laws that regulate and define autonomous vehicles. Someone travelling across a single state might drive through different municipalities with conflicting rules for how autonomous vehicles can operate, which is an unworkable proposition.
2) Last-mile solutions have leaped forward. Now everyone else must catch up
Last year saw marked growth in first and last-mile solutions, from the emergence of electric scooter share companies like Bird and Lime to the increased deployment of bike shares. This year the transportation world will be forced to respond. New policies to improve safety and mobility for bicyclists, scooter riders and pedestrians are needed, while promoting multimodal transportation and improving access to public transit.
It is also possible that 2019 will bring about major public-private partnerships in how consumers plan and pay for on-demand transportation. Right now consumers use multiple apps and payment processors to get around. A single municipal app could provide a variety of transport options to get from point A to point B. For example, riding a scooter to a train, then taking a train to a major hub, then taking another scooter the rest of the way.
3) Public-Private partnerships and other funding methods will enable innovation
The Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST) authorised $305 billion (£238.6 billion) for highways, public transportation, vehicle safety and a variety of associated research, technology. FAST is set to expire in 2020. So what will a new potential bill look like. With infrastructure being a bipartisan issue and with the current administration identifying infrastructure investment as a key initiative, many are bullish that we will see significant strides in passing a new bill. Combining public transportation funding with private investments will provide numerous opportunities.
Given the relative speed and skill of private industry, expect to see corporations and the laboratories of local government leading the charge and forming the blueprint for the nationwide application of these emerging transportation technologies.

Copyright Lawsuit: Defenses Glorifying the Aga Khan filed in federal Court - 2010-04-29
In a surprisingly rapid twist of events, both Mr Tajdin and Mr Jiwa have filed their respective statements of Defense this 29th of April 2010. They affirm to being devoted followers who will unconditionally abide by the wishes of the Aga Khan, whom they glorify in their defense.
Mr Tajdin declares that:
He has not been served yet but the ethics imposed upon him by his faith demands that he should not keep in ignorance the public by being silent on the issue and should clarify all of the facts, pertaining to this lawsuit, of which he is aware.
He reaffirms his allegiance to the Aga Khan, is willing to submit to any of his wishes, and is ready to surrender himself and all his possessions to the Imam.
He has been printing Farman books since 1992 with approval and instructions from the Imam received on August 15, 1992 in Montreal.
He has not received any communication from the Imam from 1992 to 2009 instructing him to stop publication.
He cannot stop publication without instruction from the Imam as this would be a breach of his oath of allegiance to the Imam.
All Farman publications were financial deficit projects done as a volunteer service and large numbers of books were distributed free of charge.
Farman sharing is a historic Ismaili tradition which still continues today.
The current Ismaili Constitution does not restrict the right to publish Farmans
Mr Tajdin concludes that:
He has no choice but to await further direct instructions from the Imam.
He reaffirms his allegiance to the Aga Khan, is willing to submit to any of His wishes, and is ready to surrender himself and all his possessions to the Imam.
Mr Jiwa states that:
"This action does not appear to have been authorized personally by the Aga Khan .."
"In distributing Farman books obtained from Tajdin to other Ismailis, he has not violated either the Ismaili Constitution or any Farmans"
He has not violated the copyright act as "Tajdin was given express authority by the Imam" and regardless of the fact that "the limitations period provided for by the Copyright Act also bars this action as the books containing the Farmans were commenced publication in the year 1992", he will still do whatever the Imam tells him to do.
Mr Jiwa clarifies finances:
He "obtains these books for C$50.00 and sells them for C$50.00 or gives them free, without any profit.
"All monies received by him from the sale of (other) books after 2005 were delivered to the Jamatkhanas"
Mr Jiwa further states that:
"If the Imam edited the Farman before releasing to the Jamats, in effect he is superceding the Farman he made orally previously."
He "unconditionally reconfirms his oath of allegiance to his Imam" and "if the Imam does not desire his Farman books to be distributed to the Jamats (...) this defendant will submit to the instructions of His Imam without reservation whatsoever"
Replies From the Plaintiff are due within 10 days, and Affidavits of Documents are due 30 days later.
[Update from May 6: Ogilvy Renault, the law firm which launched the case has asked for an extension of 15 days to reply to the Defense. They claim delays due to breakdown of email servers, blackberry communication, travel of senior lawyer, time difference with Paris etc...The more delays in this file, the more damage it creates to the reputation of the Ismaili community, the Imam and the defendants. It is to the advantage of all parties that this case be withdrawn from the courts.]
[Update from June 22: Defendants have filed a Motion for summary Judgement to have the case dismissed.]

Letter to Malik Talib
My letter to President Malik Talib. His Highness the Aga Khan Shia Imami Ismailia Council for canada
11 July 2013 00:10
I invite you to read the following comments on the internet. You have a copy of the court order which I had sent to you too. You are not amongst the names given and agreed in court.
Many thousands are reading, sharing, and aware. Including your "partners " in business and those controlling the "Jamats", resources, institutions & investments.
You are going around saying you met Hazar Imam and Imam has directed you to start with "trusting" those who are helping murids out of love in sharing their time, knowledge & resources. If there is a breach of trust, then you must have an open dialogue with them to work together and resolve matters internally, before considering any other options. Am I right ?
Why did you then not also apply this to Nagib and Alnaz. Why have you not met them. ? Instead you are looking for names of those Ismailis who have approval from Hazar Imam to keep & share the Farmans, which they are. You also know what Hazar Imam said on 15th October 2010, when you were vice President.
I see you have many multi and conflicting material interests & positions below. I invite you to change course and do what Imam has directed or resign. Do you agree that is the right and honourable thing to do. More will be exposed, sooner than you may think. I am certain Imam knows, and knows best.
I will be happy to discuss this with you in the spirit of what Imam has directed you to do. This can be jointly with Nagib and Alnaz. If you wish this can include Shafik, M Manji or other Leader/s .

I love Well Placed and you will too! I called Bree to help me with organizing my office area. I am a very organized, busy Executive who works from my home office a couple of days a week. My office area, with a floor to ceiling shelving unit, was in need of organizing and styling to make it consistent with the rest of my home.
Bree designed the plan, shopped for the items that were needed to store items and then Bree and I put the new plan in place. In one afternoon we were able to conquer what had been on my to do list for two years.
Bree's expertise is excellent and that's coming from a hard marker. Cheers to Well Placed!
Andrea M. Toronto
Bree is a pleasure to work with. She makes deciding what is a treasure and trash light and fun. Instead of dreading organizing my house I looked forward to her visits and felt liberated by her clarity and sensible suggestions. I also appreciated that she encouraged me to use what I had instead of spending money on new shelving and containers. Thank you, Bree!
Suzie, Toronto
I am so glad Bree came into my life and home. She has a wonderful and calm personality and it was a pleasure spending an afternoon with her to help me with the daunting tasks I kept putting off. I definitely could not have done this on my own. I just wish I could have her around every day to keep my house ticking! Fortunately she had wonderful ideas to keep things organized and help with overflowing paperwork and implement filing systems that it is easy to maintain.
I can see my office - no more paperwork strewn about - I know where to find important papers and how to handle the constant stream of paperwork. I can't wait to continue the process with Bree and would not hesitate to recommend her for any type of project!
Debbie L. High Park
I fell in love with our new home because of all of its storage. Finally, from a condo to a place with a walk-in pantry and another walk-in storage room downstairs. However, I didn't plan out the use of the rooms and over a couple years they were no longer walk-ins because we weren't using the spaces properly. I kept talking about a big clean out and purge to organize the rooms but it never happened. As soon as Bree posted about her business Well Placed I knew I had to finally take the plunge. What a difference it made!
Bree was so smart and thorough (and made sure I purged). I now have two large storage areas up and running again, with the added bonus of my kitchen having benefited from the pantry organization. The best part is we've kept up with the plan she laid out for us on how to maintain the rooms and our kitchen space too. I feel so much better, things run smoother at meal time and I can walk-in my pantry!
Thank you, Well Placed, thank you.

Airman First Class Emoni Covington is proud to put on her uniform each day—and even prouder to pair it with her locs.
source/image(PrtSc): Great Big Story
In 2018, the U.S. Air Force lifted a restriction that previously banned servicewomen from wearing locs.
The revision followed a wave of similar policy changes throughout the Armed Services, allowing military servicewomen the freedom to express themselves more fully.
Like hundreds before her, Emoni trusts stylist Davette Mabrie (and her decades of experience) to keep her beautifully styled and adherent to uniform requirements.

SEARCHING FOR HARMONY by Kelly Elliott
From New York Times bestselling author Kelly Elliott comes the gut-wrenching story of a love that transcends all odds—and transforms the deepest pain into the brightest hope.
Firefighter and first responder Preston Ward thought he had grown immune to the job's emotional burns. But when he goes out on a particularly tragic call, he realizes that some scenes are too devastating to forget. And yet, if it weren't for that terrible night, he never would have met the woman who makes him want to risk his heart.
More than once, Harmony Banks has watched her perfectly ordered world torn apart by fate. Now she's finding out that what she lost wasn't as perfect as she thought—and it's tearing her apart. The only thing that keeps her going is the kindness of a stranger: the firefighter who saved her life the night everything changed.
Preston isn't like the men who have come before. For one thing, he's far more genuine. And the love Harmony feels growing between them is almost too intense for her wounded soul. But if she and Preston can push past heartbreak, they'll find that something incredible awaits in each other's arms.
Advance praise for Searching for Harmony
"Searching for Harmony is a heartwarming story of a woman who suffers an unthinkable tragedy—and finds an unimaginable love. It's a real charmer!"—USA Today bestselling author Tina Wainscott

I LOVE LOVE LOVE to read anything that Kelly Elliott writes. She kills it every...single...time... and I am not exaggerating in the least. She will shatter you to pieces but slowly put you back together. I cried just within the first few chapters. There is so much emotion in her storylines. It is rare to see such natural talent flow into words, sentences, chapters and novels. If you read one of her series you will understand what I mean.
Another thing I love is that she doesn't really do cliffhangers. One story will tie in with another one but that's about it. And once you have started a series you can't help but crave the next one to come out. That is what I am doing now, waiting for the next book!
I can always pick a few things here or there in a book that I would've liked to have different but never in any of her books. The stories are always well planned and thought out. The delivery is impeccable!!
What would you do if everything you knew was taken from you? How do you heal? Is it capable to come back from such a darkness? Can the one person that was there be the one to save you? I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!!!

Review: Secretariat Flies By
Excellence in any athletic pursuit is such a rare thing that it imprints itself upon your memory the very moment you catch a glimpse of it.
Michael Jordan shrugging his shoulders at his own shooting prowess. Barry Sanders sprinting seven yards back to get an extra fifty. Bo Jackson running himself ragged, powering over defenders, eventually ending his career in the process. And of course Secretariat, the picturesque and savagely fast "Big Red," bordering on the supernatural with his imposing speed.
The movie, to its credit, tells the story of this great horse, but it also tells the very real underdog story of the humans surrounding Secretariat. Diane Lane brings owner Penny Chenery to the big screen, and she does so with a deft and steady hand. Also delightful is John Malkovich as trainer Lucien Laurin, no one does madcap like the great Mr. Malkovich (see him in this month's Red for a similar experience). The acting works throughout, somehow injecting drama into a well-known narrative.
Speaking of, about that story, I'm sure results will vary depending on your prior knowledge. I knew the entire tale going in, so the inspiration came from how well each scene was executed. Director Randall Wallace does well adding little flourishes to the well-trodden "horse movie" racing scenes, making each competition feel both vibrant and intimate. Not much time is spent pondering Secretariat himself, which makes logical sense because what can mere mortals know of pure power? Wallace sticks with the drama behind the Chenery horse-racing operation, the interplay between husband and wife in the '70s, and the rivalry with Sham, a horse owned and operated by a team that we'll politely call "brash."
The only knock on Secretariat is that it has to conform to movie rules, while the horse did anything but. Secretariat was a true freak of nature, but the human brain couldn't withstand two hours of horse footage, heck there's probably only a half an hour of race footage that even exists. Flashes of brilliance are just that, seconds and minutes of outstanding performance that resonate to this day. But the film spends a vast majority of the time off the track, a decision I understand, but can't give full credit for, sorry Big Red.
Latest Entertainment Videos
The first time I saw Secretariat race, years after the fact, as a kid, I knew what I wanted to be. I didn't want to be a jockey, or a gambler, I wanted to be that stunning horse. Make no mistake, Secretariat was better at running than you and I will ever be at anything, including breathing, in our entire lives. Secretariat took his place alongside the Giant Sequoias of Yosemite and Ted Williams' .406 season as things that couldn't rightfully be explained by intellect alone. Because I think when we see certain events, these moments of sheer dominance, a wave of emotions hit all at once. Joy, sure, happiness at being lucky enough to witness something rare and significant. Awe, of course, because our everyday life doesn't prepare us to make sense of what our eyes are inputting. And finally sadness. Sadness that we'll probably never see anything like that again, sadness that something so beautiful has been hiding for so long, sadness that you can't hold onto it for a few more seconds. But it's worth it just to be there, and it's worth it to see. Secretariat was the best of us, though he wasn't human, though he raced almost 40 years ago. The film Secretariat seeks to honor that memory, and it largely succeeds.

Close family members have spent much of the last ten years travelling round Australia in a caravan. Like so many other active retirees, they have become "Grey Nomads", enjoying their retirement travelling off the beaten track in search of the "real Australia".
I asked them to distil the hard-earned wisdom gleaned "on the road" into their Top 10 Tips for uncluttered living in (very) small spaces. Here's how David & Lyn learned to wrangle their possessions and live in harmony for more than 175,000km in a small caravan.
- Learn to love familiarity. Resist the temptation to buy new stuff. Appreciate the possessions you have and take pleasure in minimising your consumption.
- Mix and match so you don't need a full new outfit every day. Take enough clothes to last 10 days.
- The Rule of Two: 2 jumpers, 2 pairs of long pants, swimmers, 2 outfits for going out & a waterproof jacket.
- One on; one in the wash. Two sets of sheets & towels, 2 lightweight blankets, 1 beach towel each.
- Replace manchester and clothes when they're worn out or no longer fit. Don't keep and rotate more sets than you need.
- One in; one out. If you're genuinely sick of something, donate it to a charity store along your way and buy something new.
- Multi-task your cooking utensils. Make sure you can use them on the hotplate, bbq and camping stove.
- If it doesn't fit, flick it! Nominate a storage space, such as a saucepan drawer. Only take the cooking utensils that fit into that drawer.
- Shoes are a nightmare as they take up so much room. Try to have a single pair for each activity: solid shoes for hiking/walking; sandals or thongs for beach strolling; slippers or uggs for the nippy evenings, and a single good pair for going out.
- Use it or lose it. If you haven't used something at the end of a big trip, remove it. Some people put stickers on things and at the end of the trip they remove any items without a sticker.

With social justice activists deciding to capitalize upon her fame and use her as a 'feminist symbol' to put on clothing and posters in order to sell to delusional women who think she was 'empowered' and want to add a bit of that empowerment to their lives for only $9.99.
Kahlo has long been regarded as being jewish, because she herself claimed that her father Guillermo Kahlo was a Hungarian jew from Baden-Baden. (1) However it came to light in 2006 that this was a lie by Kahlo and that her father's family contained no known jewish members, only solid German Lutherans.
To quote Julia Welner in the Jewish Chronicle:
'For many years, it was considered that Frida Kahlo was an outsider in another sense as she claimed that her German-born father Guillermo Kahlo was from a Hungarian-Jewish background, stressing that her paternal grandparents were Jews from the city of Arad. This was so commonly accepted that the Jewish Museum, New York staged an exhibition which explored her Jewish identity and one of her paintings can be found on the cover of Rabbi and art historian Edward van Voolen's book about Jewish art and culture. However, in 2006, a pair of German historians traced Kahlo's lineage back to the 16th century and found that Guillermo Kahlo came from a long line of German Lutheran Protestants.'
'Israeli art historian Gannit Ankori is an expert on the work of Kahlo and consultant advisor for this exhibition. She was the curator of the Jewish Museum exhibition and it was her research that showed the similarity between the composition of Kahlo's painting My Grandparents, My Parents and I of 1936 in which she shows her family tree and the genealogical tables used by the Nazis when passing the Nuremberg laws that banned interracial marriage. The painting celebrates Kahlo's mixed heritage. Once the new research was published, Ankori discovered that Kahlo mentioned her father's Jewish background most frequently from 1936 onwards. Kahlo was a fervent Communist and it has been suggested that she might have invented a Hungarian-Jewish background to detract attention from her German antecedents as being German at that time would have been a source of shame and embarrassment.' (3)
So, no, despite claiming to be jewish and being married to Diego Rivera (who was). (4)
Frida Kahlo wasn't jewish.

CatMan - Transparency's Opportunity & Challenge for Retailers
Shoppers in today's marketplace demand convenience, personalization, and transparency. They want the products they desire, at the time they want it, and for the right cost. Shoppers are more knowledgeable than ever before about their purchases. They research online and have a complete understanding of the price, in-stock conditions, and materials that make up their desired product.
One of the keys to delivering on these shopper needs is correct product attribution. Today's product attribution needs are much broader than the historic shopper decision tree — brand to size to flavor to price, etc. Many shoppers want to know exactly what a food item is made from, where an item is sourced from, and all the components that make an item. This higher-order attribution builds trust with shoppers and allows them to purchase the products that meet their needs.
Catman + Transparency is a white paper produced by Label Insight and Mr. Gordon Wade, formerly the senior vice president for best practices for the CMA, which explores how transparency and the dramatic evolution that attribute-driven category planning will change the industry.
Role of Retailers in Attribute-Driven Category Planning
Retailers are collaborators with brand owners in developing category plans, and make all the final decisions on these plans. Therefore, they are critical to leveraging high-order attributes for the benefit of their shoppers.
Retailers have unique abilities and tools to deliver transparency to shoppers in ways manufacturers cannot. Retailers control the shelf and the display floor, as well as print circulars, websites, and regular emails to their customers, many of whom plan their shopping trip using these. These tools provide multiple opportunities to leverage and promote the attributes consumers seek or avoid.
Shared Challenges
However, retailers share some of the same challenges as manufacturers in today's CPG environment. Most categories are growing slowly while competition from e-commerce vendors and other channels – especially dollar stores and deep discounters such as Aldi and Lidl – continue to grow at the expense of mass and conventional grocers.
Especially frustrating for grocers is the volume of dollar leakage they experience from their regular shoppers. Retailers are losing as much as 25% of volume across all categories. The table below illustrates the average loss per category from leakage of shopper volume to other retailers.
"A 10% gain from competitive leakage is a 21% gain in sales"
CatMan + Transparency White Paper
Understanding shopper need states = huge opportunity
Commitment to transparency can help retailers build volume by using attribute analysis to appeal to shoppers with demonstrated "need states" extending across categories."Need states" such as those with food allergies, intolerances, or sensitivities, or ethical and supply chain requirements can all affect how shoppers make decisions about food across categories.
Understanding which shoppers are in which need state and then providing them with a shopping experience that supports their need state can be a significant opportunity to reduce leakage and build retail loyalty and volume.
Retailers can drive need-state shopping behavior with collaboration from manufacturers who have high-order attribute data and need-state buying behavior. Some retailers are already embracing this transparency-related need-state behavior and powering more engaging experiences for their shoppers.
Raley's - an attribute-driven user experience
An example of an attribute-driven approach to category management in regards to a shopper experience is the sophisticated experience created by Raley's Shelf Guide online. The user experience features the Raley's Wellness attributes - such as Minimally Processed, Nutrient Dense, No Added Sugar, and Non-GMO - which are leveraged to help shoppers quickly interpret whether a product meets their needs based on their specific search criteria.
The health criteria are available throughout the shopping experience, and leveraged to filter lists of products quickly and conveniently. When the shopper drills down to the product page, all the relevant wellness attributes are displayed for that product, along with conventional product information such as ingredients and nutrition panel.
The Raley's online shopping experience is one of the leading attribute-driven grocery user experiences in the market - once you shop online this way, it spoils you, and it's tough to go back to shopping with aisles, shelves, and keyword searches alone!

Review for Star Trek: First Contact
The Borg are back! Six years previously, they had attacked Earth in an attempt to assimilate the human race, and they had begun by forcibly converting Jean-Luc Picard into their mouthpiece, transforming him into a cyborg the collective dubbed Locutus. Once again they launch an attack on Earth, and once again, the Enterprise is instrumental in destroying the Borg Cube. But this time, a vessel manages to escape the destruction, and opens a portal to the past. If the Enterprise crew are to save the future, they'll have to follow the Borg back in time, and stop their plans. This time they have to go back to 2063, 10 years after the third world war, with humanity barely recovered from that nuclear devastation, but where in a missile silo in Montana, a cantankerous scientist named Zefram Cochrane is about to usher in a whole new age.
First Contact gets a 2.35:1 widescreen 1080p presentation. It looks like the same print as was used on the DVD, but it takes full advantage of the HD resolution to deliver crystal clarity and strong detail. It looks nice and filmic, although there may be enough DNR applied to diminish grain without overly effecting detail and skin tones. In terms of sets and locations, and aided by a change in the uniforms, this is the most theatrical looking of all four Next Generation movies, and you can also see the budget spent on special effects work.
You have the choice between Dolby TrueHD 5.1 English, DD 5.1 German, French, Italian, and Spanish, with subtitles in these languages and Arabic, Danish, Croatian, Dutch, Norwegian, Portuguese, Finnish, and Swedish. Again, of all four movies, First Contact sounds most impressive, with a wholly immersive and well designed sound mix, a suitable level of thumping action, and one of the best music scores for a Star Trek feature, certainly the best of the Next Gen music soundtracks, helped in no small measure by Steppenwolf and Roy Orbison. But once again, another disc from this collection offers wandering audio sync when it comes to my Panasonic player, remedied temporarily by pausing or skipping back a second or two.
You'll be familiar with the animated menu by now...
You get three commentaries on this disc, the first from director/actor Jonathan Frakes, the second from writers Brannon Braga and Ronald D. Moore, and the third created for the Blu-ray from fans Damon Lindelof (producer Star Trek 2009), and Anthony Pascale.
The Library Computer is once again the fancy pop-up trivia track.
There are a whole heap of featurettes on this disc, beginning with six in Production, which look at various aspects of the making of. These run to a total of 83:34 and are recycled from the DVD release, in SD.
There are 3 Scene Deconstruction featurettes running to 18:20 SD.
The Star Trek Universe contains 9 featurettes, 6 of them created for this Blu-ray and in HD. These run to 48:26. The 3 SD featurettes run to 51:36.
The Borg Collective offers three more SD featurettes running to a total of 41:16
You get Storyboards and a Photo Gallery in the Archives, the Teaser and Theatrical trailers in HD, and a BD Live link.
One thing that is noticeable by its absence is deleted footage.
This was the one time that the Next Generation cast and crew got it right. Generations was burdened with expectations, the need to pass the torch, and the fact that they killed off Captain Kirk... twice. Insurrection was a glorified TV episode, and Nemesis was just a loathsome mess. But First Contact was a movie, a real feature film, taking the Next Generation crew to the next level when it came to the stakes in the story, and in terms of the action and the visuals.
The biggest villains that the Next Generation crew had faced returned, the machine like Borg, who this time get personified by a Borg Queen, a source of temptation for Data, and a target for revenge when it comes to Captain Picard. They are relentless, and almost omnipotent foes, which makes battling them more a series of last stands, than an even fight, and we get a glimpse of the stakes that crew are fighting for when the Borg open their time portal.
Then there is the time travel aspect of the movie, back when Star Trek still hadn't done time travel to death. There is the inevitable comic aspects of culture clash, and this is the one Next Generation movie that gets its sense of humour spot on, but by picking a time in the future yet to come, we get to see Star Trek history, not our own and we get an idea of where that optimistic vision of the future that Gene Roddenberry spun might just have begun.
The script is tight, the action is well paced, and there's a great balance between the lighter moments in Montana, and the fight against the Borg on the Enterprise. What's more, Jonathan Frakes in the director's chair is a deft hand at delivering a cinematic experience. First Contact is an entertaining, and well put together Star Trek feature film. The only nit I have to pick with it is that this is where the Next Generation ensemble feel started to be lost, and the Next Gen movies shifted into becoming the Picard and Data show. The Blu-ray presentation is solid, but not spectacular, and like all of the classic Star Trek films, it needs a new scan from the original negative.

TCU Horned Frogs wide receiver and kick returner KaVontae Turpin has been suspended by the football program. At this time, it is not clear how long his suspension will be.
He was arrested on Sunday for an alleged incident with a family member. He was arrested for assault with a bodily injury of a family member.
He has released from jail, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
According to his arrest affidavit, which was obtained by the Star-Telegram, he had an altercation with his girlfriend late Saturday night. He allegedly "dragged" her across a parking lot and "slammed" her to the ground.
His girlfriend to the authorities that the two have been together for five-years. She said that the altercation happened after he believed she was sending photos to other people.
A witness said that he was "manhandling" his girlfriend after he allegedly dragged her across the parking lot. The same witness said he was "grabbing her from behind with one arm across her neck."
He is facing a Class A misdemeanor. If he is convicted, he faces one-year in prison and a $4,000 fine.
"Everybody knows how I handle things like this," Patterson said on Monday during the Big 12 coaches call. "My track record usually speaks for itself if you go back through it. We're gathering information, but at this point in time, he probably won't play against Kansas."
Turpin is a senior on the football team. In seven games, he has 29 receptions for 410 yards and three touchdowns. He also has four carries for 32 yards.
He has 12 kickoff returns for 312 yards and a touchdown. He also has nine punt returns for 175 yards and another touchdown.
He just had a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday.
Turpin is presently second in the Big 12 Conference in all-purpose yards per game. He is averaging 132.7 yards per contest.


text: Student loans without cosigner are possible to get. Now, students looking for no cosigner loans will probably take out federal loans at first. Federal loans, of which the Stafford and Perkins loans, comprise. It's possible for students to pay for college just with these two types of loans. Now, if you intend to pay for college with federal loans, you need to be prepared for the possibility that federal loans won't cover the full cost of your education. What do you do in this case?The solution is to take out private loans. Some of the more popular private student loans are chase loans and signature student loans. The requirements for private loans are that you either have good credit or you have a cosigner. Now you may ask why take out a private student loan when you can actually get a federal student loan which is no cosigner and has no credit check.The reason is that private loans may offer better interest rates and loan terms if you have good credit or you have a cosigner with good credit. Thus it may be a better deal for you to look at getting a private loan. The other option, and this is a common option, is if you don't have enough federal loan funding to pay for college. If this is the case, then you will need to get loans without cosigner that are private. Now your option if you are looking for private student loans without cosigner is to get a bad credit loan – these have high interest though, so be wary.

Our Opinion: Krens' ambitious vision for Northern Berkshire
If world-renowned art entrepreneur and Williamstown resident Thomas Krens is to be believed, North Adams may eventually rival Orlando's Disney World as a destination for the American family. Mr. Krens, a former Williams College art professor, has experience turning unlikely dreams into reality: As former head of New York's Guggenheim Museum, he inspired and shepherded that institution's expansion into a Frank Gehry-designed branch in Bilbao, Spain that many consider one of the world's architectural masterpieces. His display of motorcycles as art at the Guggenheim's New York base created a storm in the museum world while becoming one of the most successful exhibits in its history.
In other words, Mr. Krens, who was one of the driving forces behind the creation of Mass MoCA, is a person who should be listened to when his panoramic visionary juices begin flowing. His latest concept for pulling the Steeple City out of its economic doldrums combines several of his dreams into one vast undertaking, incorporating the much-heralded Extreme Model Railroad and Architecture Museum he envisions for the downtown area, the Global Contemporary Art Museum originally slated for Harriman-West Airport, a parking facility that can double as an art space, a luxury hotel and spa, restoration of the Mohawk Theater, some 3-D movie venues and possibly a motorcycle museum thrown in for good measure.
That's a pretty full plate, but much of Mr. Krens' success to date stems from his understanding of the nexus between private investment and art, and his North Adams vision takes full advantage of exotic tax-reduction formulas appreciated by those with plenty of spare funds to plow into such undertakings, such as providing relief from capital gains taxes when monies are invested in designated economic opportunity zones located in distressed areas.
Mr. Krens, who has not yet worked out the precise details of the plan's implementation, anticipates private investment of $28 million with another $10 million from "other sources" (presumably, public funds and tax incentives) to launch the for-profit undertaking. His anticipated $180 million boost to the local economy providing 2,000 jobs may or may not be realistic, but the key is that, should the project even be only partially realized, the preponderance of its funding would come from private investment. Should it fail completely, the harm done to North Adams would be minimal if the city's buy-in were in the form of tax incentives to would-be investors.
It's important that each component of the project not be so linked together that the fate of one impacts another. The railroad and architecture museum, for example, would probably enhance North Adams as a tourist destination when paired with Mass MoCA as part of a dual attraction. It's success should not be dependent upon the success of, for example, the art museum. While it is encouraging to see that the museum would move downtown where it would be of greater help to the city than it would out by the airport, the struggling Heritage Park doesn't appear to play a key role in the Krens vision beyond a proposed Massachusetts Museum of Time. It isn't clear yet how his plan for a renovated Mohawk Theater would be fleshed out but indications are that he doesn't see it as a movie theater.
Presumably we'll know a lot more as the project goes forward, and it's hard to see how its encouragement would disadvantage the city, as long as it didn't suck all the oxygen out of the air for less ambitious projects that might already be in the pipeline. It would behoove Mayor Thomas Bernard and the rest of North Adams' municipal government, as well as officials in Williamstown and Adams, to do their best to encourage the proposal while prudently safeguarding community interests in the process.
Mr. Krens sees this project as the culmination of an economic renaissance that Mass MoCA only started. His goal of making the region "the No. 1 cultural destination in the United States" is impressively ambitious, and if successful, even in part, this project could have a transforming impact on North Berkshire that will indelibly change the economic landscape for the better.

Gauhati LS seat: BJP's Queen Ojha cements her victory
GUWAHATI: Bhartiya Janata Party's Queen Ojha swept the Gauhati Lok Sabha seat by a margin of 3,45,606 votes in the Lok Sabha elections, the results of which were declared on May 23.
While Ojha led with a total of 10,08,936 votes, her nearest rival Bobbeeta Sharma of the Indian National Congress received 6,63,330 votes that were polled in her favour.
Ojha received 57.2 per cent of the total vote share in the constituency. On the other hand, Congress' Bobbeeta Sharma's vote share was at 37.61 per cent. On Thursday, the BJP party headquarters erupted in celebrations as soon as the initial trends revealed that the party was leading in a majority of seats in Assam.
This time a total of 17 candidates were in fray from Gauhati Lok Sabha constituency, out of which six were independent candidates.
The seat saw a direct fight between the two women candidates from BJP and Congress and the initial trends on results day showed a neck-to-neck fight for the seat.
Queen Ojha has more political experience than Sharma as Ojha has been active as a politician since the days of the Assam Agitation. She later joined Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and in 1996 became the mayor of Guwahati after winning the Guwahati Municipal Corporation elections.
Poor performance of the incumbent MP Bijoya Chakravarty in her constituency led the BJP to field Ojha this time who joined BJP in 2014 and was fielded by the saffron party for the Gauhati Lok Sabha seat.
Further, Sharma is General Secretary, Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) and had unsuccessfully contested the 2016 Assam legislative assembly election from Gauhati East Constituency.
Both the candidates have undergone the experience of losing legislative assembly elections from the same constituency (Gauhati East).
Talking to G Plus during the initial trends out, Bobbeeta Sharma had said, "It has been seen that the people of urban areas are not in support of Congress but people in rural areas vote for the party. This has been the trend."
"I extend my heartfelt thanks to all the people of No 7 Gauhati Lok Sabha Constituency who voted for me for expressing their faith in me and all our party leaders, members and workers who extended their service and help in this election," posted Sharma on her Facebook page after the election results. She also congratulated Queen Ojha on her victory.
About Gauhati constituency
Gauhati constituency consists of 10 assembly segments including Dudhnoi (ST), Boko (SC), Chaygaon, Palasbari, Jalukbari, Dispur, Gauhati East, Gauhati West, Hajo and Barkhetry.

We had worked with a "so-called friend of a friend" for the original loan/purchase of our home in late 2008. Jeff informed us of a better option and after once we began dealing with him, I was made very aware of the lack of insight, information and how over billed we were with our other loan. What a relief to actually feel comfortable when heading into what could be a crazy ordeal. I highly recommend them for any mortgage or refinance needs.

Leaving a union due to domestic abuse is very difficult. It can take victims years to face the truth about their marriage, their partner and the reality that abusers rarely change.
Abusers don't make it any easier, either. Like a spider controlling his web, an abuser has his victim tucked in a nice spot where he can drain her as he needs. He doesn't want to loose his source of narcissist supply and that puts her safety at risk.
Victims have wounds, financial struggles, society's judgment and employment issues to face as they and the kids head out the door to a world filled with obstacles that will challenge their daily survival.
But once out, many victims feel a giant sense of relief that they have escaped the powerful hold of an abuser. It's a good feeling, I know. A very good feeling.
Unfortunately, if a survivor has children with their abuser, they are about to enter crazy land again _ a world where family court doesn't match up with criminal court and co-parenting is the norm. Co-parenting throws survivors and abusers back together in a pseudo-marriage from hell.
Despite many state laws that acknowledge domestic abuse as an important factor in sorting out custody arrangements, in practice, many courts ignore it and insist on co-parenting as the standard.
Co-parenting is the court-ordered cooperation of parents to manage the daily lives of their children together, despite divorce. It's purpose is to force parents to always put first the best interest of the children and move past the reasons that drove their split.
Unfortunately, when you are co-parenting with an abuser, you know more than most that your abuser will never be good at this because he isn't capable. Expecting him to put anyone's interests before his own is like expecting him to magically turn _ say purple _ before your eyes.
Studies abound that show domestic abusers use co-parenting rules to grab back the power and control of their victims they lost through divorce. Through this well-meaning legal principle, abusers can have free access to wind their victims right back into their narcissistic web.
Co-parenting with your abuser can be traumatizing, can trigger Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and can be dangerous as you stand once again in shock that a person would choose to abuse and then be allowed to get away with it, this time using innocent children. I don't know a mother who would be able to stand by and watch that happen calmly and not react dramatically.
Your feelings can be used against you
But, that is exactly what many courts want you to do. Your honest and legitimate reactions to such abuse in many cases can be used against you in family court, used to show that you are in fact uncooperative with your abusive ex, used to show that you are "alienating" your abuser from the children's lives and not likely to be a good co-parent. And if the court sees you this way, you may very well loose custody. It happens around this country all the time.
Many a mother have lost custody of their kids because they dared to question and complain about their abusive ex, the court's wisdom or the direction of mediators and coordinators who seemed to want little knowledge of your situation or your children's. There are writers on this site who have lived that hell.
When my ex sued me for custody of our teenage boys, five-years after divorce and without evidence, I was beyond an emotional mess. Thankfully, he didn't win custody, but he did establish co-parenting, which had just become law in our state, and something I thought (at that time) made sense. Ha.
Through it all, I am thankful for a few things that have kept me sane, protected me physically and helped me navigate this bumpy road. I can honestly say that despite the PTSD this created, I am emotionally strong, healthy and as my blog name states, thriving in crazy land.
Though there is no one size fits all, here are a few tips I can share that might serve you well if you are forced to co-parent with your abuser:
- First, start telling others about the abuse. Silence is borne out of shame for most victims, not fear. However, abusers capitalize on it as if you are afraid to tell and that can become a button used to abuse. Defuse it. It took me years to get past the shame of abuse, but when I did, I began to tell others what was happening. Today, I tell school officials, coaches, pastors, friends and family that domestic violence and abuse is part of the equation of our family, that there is a court order in place that dedicates much of my children's childhood and that my ex is unsafe for me. Your actions going forward will make a lot more sense when people know what is behind it.
- Do whatever you have to employ excellent professional help. Too much is at stake to operate only with the advice of your friends, most who don't understand abuse. There is a science to this and you need someone who understands the formulas. Find a psychologist, an attorney, an accountant, a parenting-coordinator who have lots of experience with domestic abuse victims. Never assume that they all do. In fact, the majority don't.
- Document everything, no matter how much work it takes. I have nine years of emails stored, printed out and put away. Photos, letters, cards. Keep everything that goes on between you and your ex. Document phone calls, drop off times, missed visitations, everything. You will need this documentation to protect you and your kids in the future and you will be so thankful that you did it.
- Disengage from your ex. This is very difficult to do for a lot of reasons too many to list here. I understand this is not simple. Read more about this all over this site and the web. But, the more you care about your ex's opinions, actions, feelings, etc., the more power he has over you.
- Create margin between you and your ex. Think of this like the shoulder on the side of the road. If something happens at high speeds and you swerve over the yellow line, that margin protects you from the disaster of an accident and gives you time to react safely. Margin in your relationship give you time to take in the abusive actions of your ex, feel it away from him, process it emotionally and react, if at all, in a healthy way.
- Get to Acceptance that life is unfair and can be unsafe. There is a process to this and its called grieving. You need to grieve the loss of the world you wanted for yourself and your children. You can't just get to acceptance, you have to do the work of the process, best with a therapist. But the payoff is wonderful. Today, I'm sad that my children's childhood has been scarred by abuse, but I have mourned that and accept that no child has a perfect childhood. Since I've processed this as a loss, I have come out the other side and recognize the silver that lines every dark cloud. You can, too.
- Similar to number 4, create "Limited Contact" with your ex. Psychologists advice victims of narcissists to use the "No Contact" method of therapy when breaking from an abuser. This means that you completely ignore all communication and never responding. Also, you stay away from your abuser, his hangouts, you de-friend him on Facebook, you break from mutual friends, don't utter his name and so on. No Contact is nearly impossible when the court orders you to co-parent and share a lot of your personal life. But, limited contact is very possible.
- Get and stay emotionally healthy. This journey is draining and its a very long marathon. You need your emotional strength. So, stay in therapy, even if your finances are tight, find a way. Put energy into people who are giving you the same back. Victims are often co-dependents and we are reluctant to stop trying to make others happy or give up on people just because they don't give us what we need. But, you need people around you who really care about your well-being. Identify the people in your life who would run through fire to save you and pour your relationship energy into them. Love the rest, but don't spend your time "doing" for them. You need that energy for you and your children's survival.
- Be the Mom you want to be and accept that you won't be perfect. When you fall off that pedestal, dust yourself off, go apologize to your kids, and try again. You are in a horrible storm, one that your ex is enjoying watching from his perch. You are going to make mistakes. Don't worry, we all do. But mistakes can be opportunities. You can learn from them and so can your children.
- Read about toxic ex's, parenting with a toxic ex. There is a growing resource of information out there about this subject and much of it will help you. Education is the key to all of this. It is has kept me sane throughout crazy land.
- Read about the laws regarding abuse. There is some abuse you will have to just ignore, but there is a growing list of abuses that are illegal. For example, it is illegal for someone to harass you through email and if you are a domestic violence survivor, the VAWA federal act identifies this as a form of terrorism against victims. Learn about all the boundaries in place and use them. Abusers often stop certain forms abuse when they know you will prosecute, sue or hold them accountable.
And remember, you are not crazy, this circumstance is. No one should advise you to build a healthy relationship with your abusive ex if they saw what you saw. But, they do it every day around this land and expect the ridiculous. OJ Simpson was awarded custody of his children after he was accused of killing their mother. Josh Powell killed his two babies on a supervised visitation while is wife was missing and presumed dead by his hand. They are injustices everywhere. As we have all heard before, life is not fair. But, don't let that stop you from having a good life and having the best life you can have with your children under these difficult circumstances.

Public Theater of San Antonio sells sets as well as tickets as national reputation grows
The Public Theater of San Antonio is making a mark well beyond the city as sets, costumes and other design elements are sold for use by theaters across the continent.
The set and costumes for "Newsies," The Public's bar-raising 2018-'19 season opener, was purchased by Theater by Design, an enterprise based near Houston that rents scenery and costumes to theater companies and schools all over the country and in Canada. And the costumes and set for the company's 2017 staging of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" were purchased by the Fireside Singers, a choir in Saskatoon, Canada, that produces one musical every spring.
The Public has advertised pieces that are available on the Community Marketplace page of the website for Music Theatre International, a theatrical licensing company that also provides a range of additional resources for theaters.
The theater company and its designers will get a credit in the programs for the productions where its work is featured, giving their work broad exposure.
"It's exciting," said George Green, CEO and artistic director for The Public. "And I think it's validating for our designers and our scenic artists. Whenever peers of any nature support your work and, obviously, want to buy your art, that's a huge step. I love that patrons buy art — visual art and those sorts of things — but when one visual artist looks at another visual artist's work and buys it, that's a huge endorsement."
Green's listing for "Newsies" caught the eye of Justin Parks, who owns and runs Theater by Design with his wife. Because he's relatively close to San Antonio and the post went up during the production run, he was able to come here to see the show, something he doesn't often get to do.
On ExpressNews.com: 'Newsies' pushes The Public to the limit
"I rarely get to see the show that I'm buying, and that was incredibly helpful," Parks said.
He was struck by the careful design of the show.
"The props are all intricately created, and a lot of them are hand-made," he said. "That attention to detail really sets them apart."
The pieces proved popular right away.
"It's the second most popular musical right now," Parks said. "And so we were able to rent it quickly. It went straight from George to another theater company and after them, two other theaters are renting it back to back."
Parks said the set is likely to be used relatively close to home — he figures it will end up on stages across Texas as well as in Florida, Louisiana and Arkansas — since shipping it much farther than that could prove too pricey. But he expects the costumes to be used by companies farther afield.
Parks is hoping to add other sets from The Public to his holdings in the near future.
"(Green has) got at least three or four shows coming up that we can definitely market and would definitely have a life beyond their production in community theaters and professional theaters," he said.
Like Parks, the folks with Fireside Singers in Canada are hoping for a long-term relationship with The Public. The choir discovered the theater after someone on the production team for "Hunchback" found a time-lapse video that Nicholas Ponting, who was then the resident designer for The Public, had posted to YouTube capturing his work on the faux stained glass window he created for the show.
On ExpressNews.com: Window adds wow factor to The Public's 'Hunchback'
"We jokingly said that we should fly down to San Antonio and watch their production and buy their set," said Albert Couture, the company's stage director, via email.
As it happens, that's what they ended up doing. They reached out to Green and were soon in San Antonio.
"When we saw the set in person, we were in awe of it, and we arranged to purchase it," Couture said.
Among other things, the company bought the stained glass windows, the church statues, the enormous bells of the church, the cauldron and many pillars. They also purchased the show's costumes.
As soon as The Public staging closed, all of that was packed up and shipped to Canada.
Fireside Singers staged the musical in May.
"The set was amazing, and we received so many compliments on the set," Couture said. "When the curtain opened, you could hear the audience 'aww' at the set. It was so impressive and so inspiring. We count ourselves very fortunate for having come across that video and having the ability to buy the set from (The Public.)"
Since then, Couture said, he's kept tabs on the shows the theater is staging here. He hopes to maintain a relationship with The Public, he said, though since the Fireside Singers only stage one musical a year, it may be a while before their schedules align again.
Green noted that selling sets and costume helps cover design costs. Selling them also means that the staff doesn't have to find a way to store bulky pieces — like the bells built for "Hunchback" and the printing press constructed for "Newsies" — that are unlikely to be needed for other shows.
That doesn't mean that everything that pops up on the theater's stage from here on in will be flying out the door as soon as a show closes. The theater has vast amounts of stuff stored both backstage and in rented storage facilities. Plans are being made for an event in January in which schools and theaters will be invited to walk through a designated area packed with things Green and his staff are ready to let go of and snag whatever they might need for upcoming productions.
And the theater will continue to loan objects that other theaters might need.
"We don't sell or rent locally," Green said. "If (local) organizations need to borrow a prop or a costume or a set piece or a stair unit, I want to make sure that we certainly let our local organizations know that our doors are open to always ask us to borrow items. And schools are welcome, too."

For the second time around, Gilas Pilipinas is back in the FIBA Basketball World Cup!
Gilas have defeated Kazakhstan with the score of 93-75 in the capital city of Astana in 2019's Asian Qualifiers last Sunday night. Andray Blatche was the star and highlight of the game as he scored 41 points, 13 rebounds, 4 steals, and 2 blocks.
Gilas also won against Qatar 84-46 in Doha three days before their qualifier game. The Philippines (7-5) was then on the 4th place in their group with a fifty-fifty chance to enter the World Cup.
But thanks to South Korea's 84-72 win over Lebanon (6-6), Gilas Pilipinas was luckily given a chance to advanced due to their higher stats and become one of the 7 Asian teams — host China not included — that will play in the World Cup 2019.
"We're just glad it's over," the Gilas head coach, Yeng Guiao said. "We were feeling the pressure prior to the game. We really wanted to make it to the World Cup."
