The Bridge from Nowhere
Spend a little time in Portugal and you get the feeling there is something unfinished about the country. Sadly, the world recession in 2011, the EU bail out and the resultant austerity measures have hit the country hard. Evidence, if it were needed, can be found by driving between Evora and Beja in central Alejento for the route is littered with the detritus of half finished bridges.
From afar they look like avant-garde sculptures rising up from the drab landscape. Up close they are sad and abandoned and have the look of some long forgotten brutalist Eastern Bloc monument that nobody apart from amateur graffiti artists and bill-stickers visit anymore. The colourless stanchions look out of place; their location seemingly random in the wasteland between fields and existing roads; there is no hint of a road or tarmac ever being laid in their direction.
Whatever the truth about these modern concrete megaliths they do provide an abstract and welcome distraction to the flat wide open fertile plains of this part of Alejento.
The most obvious explanation is the construction of a number of east – west routes came to a screeching halt as the funding ran out. However, speak to the locals in the nearest bar and you will hear a different version. The residents' strident tone and no doubt expletive laden tirades were incomprehensible to me; but with the universal gesture of rubbing thumb and forefinger together the message is clear: corruption.
The Alejento White Elephant.
After a visit to Beja airport it came as no surprise to find that the: "Portuguese view political parties as the most corrupt public authority, with 73 percent saying they believe elected officials to be: on the take".*
Located about five kilometres from the town the terminal building rises up at the end of a very long approach road. The first thing to strike me was the paucity of vehicles in the car park. Mysteriously, the few cars there were all parked, front forward, next to one another; all saloons and immaculately clean. As I entered the terminal I was greeted by a well built and armed policeman whose smile belied the look of suspicion on his face. We exchanged pleasantries; I found out that the airport was open so wandered off to one end of the building. The only sound was the click-clack of the policeman's shoes as he followed, at a distance but in step with my own pace.
At the one end there was a cafe; all gleaming tables and chairs. All empty. The serving counter was closed. Turning round I asked the policeman when the next flight was due. "Two weeks" his replied echoed off the interior, "Maybe next week" he qualified and with a shrug the conversation was over. "Where's the toilet?", he pointed towards the other end of the terminal so off I went to walk the 100 metres or so to find them past empty check-in desks, vacant vending machines, blank arrivals and departure boards; bright posters displaying local tourist spots and an uninhabited information desk all the time being paced by the click-clacking of my companion's footsteps.
We were not alone in this ghost airport. One of the hire car concession kiosks was open, lights on and ready for business. I waved to the man and woman sat behind the desk but got only a look of incomprehension in reply.
The owners of the airport must have taken Auden's eulogistic poem to heart: "Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone…" as the second, minute and hours hands on the clocks hanging on the wall stood still, their faces taped over. Although, I'm sure the local authorities would have been happy to: "Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead", as the second verse starts, to disturb the funereal silence pervading the building.
I raised my camera but was told, very firmly: "No photo!". I asked why, but was met with the same response , so decided it was best not to argue and left the terminal followed, now closely, by the policeman. As I wandered past the row of neatly parked cars I noticed the hire company's window sticker in each. Looking in my rear view mirror as I drove out I saw the policeman was now joined outside the building by the car hire people. As they looked at my car driving round the car park and out the exit it struck me that this must be an exciting spectator sport round here.
I found out later the terminal, which opened in April 2011, cost €33 million to build; the airport has the longest runway in Europe on which about 100 passengers land a month (yes, a month). The airport was built in order attract low cost airlines and tourists to the area and the Algave a couple hours away. It seems profligate use of money when so much is needed to repair and maintain the infrastructure in what is Portugal's poorest region.
Many of the houses in the remote villages dotted about Alejento are modest, single storey, many are empty; left by residents migrating to more prosperous regions and cities.
However, even Lisbon has it's share of abandoned buildings. It was such a shame to walk around one corner to see an old theatre left to ruin. There are hints of the building's elegant past. You can imagine customers leaning out of the delicate windows, having a smoke during a break in the performance or sheltering from the rain underneath the overhanging balconies that surround it's imposing facade.
Now it stands, forlorn and lifeless like a rotten tooth decaying in an otherwise healthy mouth. It's sad to see a beautiful building in such a state; I understand that Portugal's economy is fragile with scarce resources needed to maintain hospitals, roads, public housing and the rest; but for a fraction of the money it takes to build an airport terminal this building could be restored to it's former state.

Our nation's capital and most populous city, London is one of the most famous cities in the world and a global financial centre to boot.
Containing four World Heritage Sites, famous landmarks, acclaimed museums (and other cultural institutions), as well as the oldest underground railway network in the world, it's fair to say that there's plenty to do or see in the city named 'Londinium' by the Romans!
Due to its vast reach and large population, London is an absolute hotbed for enterprise and entrepreneurship, and has a significant economic impact on the world thanks to the multitude of businesses located there.
As such, video production in London is proving an ever more important thing, as more and more companies based in the city understand the importance of the medium in respect to their digital marketing.
We might be biased, but we believe that video productions are a key ingredient in helping businesses grow – whatever their sector, whatever their size, wherever their location.
In this respect, we love working with companies based in London to help them with this growth.
Since our formation in 2011, we've been privileged enough to create video productions for organisations with a presence in London, such as those below and many more.
A selection of some of these projects can be seen in our bespoke showreel located below.
For these London based organisations that we have worked with, we have created videos utilising a wide range of techniques at our disposal, such as motion graphics, aerial videography, and 2D animation.
Through these endeavours – and for other projects – we have been fortunate enough to film at some fantastic locations across the city, too.
So, if you're looking for a video production in London and from a company with strong links to the city itself, we know we can help!
Fill out the form on our Contact Page or e-mail us at email@example.com for a video production of your own!

About Energy Recovery
At Energy Recovery, we recycle and convert wasted pressure energy into a usable asset and preserve pumps that are subject to hostile processing environments. With award-winning technology, we simplify complex industrial systems while improving productivity, profitability, and efficiency within the oil & gas, chemical processing, and water industries. Our products save clients more than $2 billion (USD) annually.
For more than 20 years, we have developed genuinely disruptive technologies that have become the most efficient and most popular energy recovery solutions in desalination. Having secured market leadership in the water industry, we are expanding into new markets, such as gas processing and ammonia production.
Universal Value
Our technologies have a significant, universal value across any industry with high rates of fluid flows and high pressure differentials. Wherever we can find an appropriate application for our technology, our solutions will provide meaningful energy savings and operational efficiency.
Core Technology
The first disruptive Energy Recovery technology was the PX Pressure Exchanger, and it set a precedent for everything to follow. The PX works by recycling energy that would otherwise be lost in the desalination process. Simple yet durable, it changed the economics of converting seawater to fresh water, and today is used in the vast majority of desalination projects worldwide. Added to our suite of turbochargers and pumps, we currently have 20,000 devices installed across the globe.
New Applications
Energy Recovery developed the VorTeq hydraulic pumping system as the first major application of our PX Pressure Exchanger technology in oil and gas. The system alleviates the major problem of pump failure on frac sites by re-routing abrasive proppants away from the high-pressure pump trucks, allowing them to pump pure water instead of sand. Seeing the disruptive potential, Schlumberger, the world's largest oilfield services provider, signed a 15-year exclusive licensing deal for VorTeq in 2015.
In 2016, we have also been awarded the first major deal with our IsoBoost system, which recovers otherwise wasted pressure energy in acid gas removal in gas processing. Multiple IsoBoost systems will be installed in what will be the largest gas processing plant in the Middle East. This follows on the heels of the commissioning the first IsoGen system in a Middle East gas processing plant with Saudi Aramco, where our technology will convert pressure energy into electricity.
Global Presence
With research, development, and manufacturing facilities in California, Energy Recovery maintains a global presence. We operate direct sales offices and technical support centers in Ireland, Dubai, and Shanghai, and our service representatives are on the ground in Algeria, Australia, China, India, Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, and throughout Latin America.

Stadio San Nicola
Key facts
Club: FC Bari | Opening: 1990 | Capacity: 58,270 seats
History and description
Stadio San Nicola was built between 1987 and 1990 to serve as a playing venue for the 1990 World Cup.
The stadium was designed by Genovese architect Renzo Piano, who dubbed it "the spaceship", because of the similarities in shape. The original design did not include an athletics track, but this was later added at the request of Italian Olympic Committee CONI.
Stadio San Nicola officially opened on the 3rd of June 1990 with a match between Bari and Milan (2-0). The stadium replaced Bari's previous ground Stadio Comunale, also called Stadio della Vittoria.
During the 1990 World Cup, Stadio San Nicola hosted a total of five matches, among which three first round group matches, the round of 16 match between Czechoslavakia and Costa Rica (4-1), and the match for third place between Italy and England (2-1).
One year later, in 1991, the stadium hosted the European Cup final between Crvena Zvezda and Olympique de Marseille (0-0).
Most characteristic aspect of the stadium is its upper tier consisting of 26 separate petals.
Stadio San Nicola has turned out to be much too big for Bari, and a lack of maintenance has resulted in a heavily deteriorated state. Bari have therefore considered redeveloping the stadium into a smaller version, however are lacking the funds to do so.
How to get to Stadio San Nicola
Stadio San Nicola is located on the southern edge of the city of Bari, almost 8 kilometres from Bari's historic centre and 5.5 kilometres from Bari's central railway station.
The stadium lies just south of the Tangenziale di Bari, the city's ring road. Take exit 10B. The stadium is signposted coming from the west.
Stadio San Nicola is rather difficult to reach by public transport. The best option is likely to take bus 20 from the central rail station. The bus passes close to the stadium, however line 20 only has a dedicated stop at the stadium on the way back. Hence, one could make the turn at the last stop (Autostrada BA-TA), or change to a return bus slightly earlier at Parco Adria. The whole trip will take you about 50 minutes.
Address: Stadio San Nicola , Strada Torrebella, 70124 Bari
Bari Tickets
Tickets for Bari matches can be bought online through Vivaticket (print-at-home), at the ticket windows of gate 22 at the stadium, or at one of the Vivaticket sales outlets. Tickets tend not to be on sale at the stadium right before the match.
Bari never sell out in the Serie B.
Tickets range in price from €10.00 for one of the curves to between €15.00 and €50.00 for a seat at one of the sides.

Let's face it, gang. AOR, Classic Rock, Glam Rock, Hair Metal and melodic Hard Rock used to sell like crazy. No matter what you thought of them then, these genres ruled the world and were certainly embraced by red-blooded American teens and young adults looking for a way to escape from their boring lives. Countries like Japan slobbered this stuff. Every major label had a few hit bands on their roster that fit nicely into one (or more) of these categories.
But then big bad Grunge came along in the early '90s and blew their houses down....
Thankfully, the scene didn't die: it just went underground. Now, two decades on, the scene is thriving again and while it hasn't had a breakout act scale the charts yet, it's coming! There's even the Steel Panther, who parodied the music so well, it has brought attention back to what people thought was a dying breed.
Labels like Frontiers Records (based in Italy) has kept the fire burning for years and there are more labels springing up all over the world, serving healthy helpings of fist-in-the-air Rock anthems to a new generation of kids looking for a release. This ongoing movement is bringing the old fans back as well.
Norwegian rockers Wig Wam haven't forgotten what that scene was all about and, on Non Stop Rock 'n' Roll, they bring the fun back into music! While they are certainly a 'modern' Hard Rock band, the lift liberally from the Glam Rock blueprint, combining pre-Top 40 Poison with the klassic sound Of Kiss, adding a bit of Queen into the mix.
Some may automatically compare them to Steel Panther, and while that may be true on a certain musical level, Wig Wam are having fun with the genre, not making fun of it! As much as I like the Steel Panther album, I think Non Stop Rock 'n' Roll is a better bet: it's solid all the way through.
From the opening blast of "Do You Wanna Taste It", you know you're in for a heck of a ride. That tune is worth the price of the album alone, but it doesn't stop there. "Wild One" has a great rock riff and a soaring chorus that you can't help but sing along with! "Rocket Through My Heart" is another anthemic rocker that will bring the house down with it's catchy chorus. "Chasing Rainbows" is another great sing-along that utilizes a children's choir to great effect. "From Here" and "Man In The Moon" are the acoustic ballads on the album, but are a bit beefier than the bic-raisers of old.
From beginning to end, Non Stop Rock 'n' Roll is just what the title says... and it's one hell of a fun ride!

Qantas to Increase Services to New York
Sydney, 27 March 2007
Qantas announced today that it would increase its New York services from five per week to a daily service from 14 August 2007.
The Executive General Manager of Qantas, Mr John Borghetti, said the addition of two extra New York services each week, operating from Sydney via Los Angeles, would provide business travellers with more choice and access to markets on the US East Coast.
"Frequency of service is particularly important for business travellers, and offering them a daily flight to New York will provide the flexibility they need to plan their schedules," Mr Borghetti said.
He said support for the route had been very encouraging, allowing Qantas to increase its New York services twice in the past 18 months.
"Qantas offers sleeper seats in both First and Business and is scheduled to be the first airline to fly the new Airbus A380 aircraft between Australia and the US in the fourth quarter of 2008."
He said Qantas was working in partnership with the Australian Consulate General, Tourism Australia and the Australian Trade Commission to promote Australia in the US, sponsoring Australia Week in New York and Los Angeles, the single largest foreign country promotion held annually in the United States.
"These major tourism initiatives, combined with our latest increase in services, will significantly encourage inbound tourism to Australia," Mr Borghetti said.
The new Qantas schedule will comprise:
* 35 flights per week to Los Angeles, with an additional three flights per week between 19 June and 28 July 2007, totalling 38 flights per week for this period;
* seven flights per week to New York via Los Angeles;
* five flights per week to San Francisco;
* three flights per week to Honolulu; and
* three flights per week to Vancouver via San Francisco, operated as a seasonal service between 13 June and 12 August 2007.

The Royal Borough of Greenwich v Francis Akagbo & Kafui Sakpaku-Bothchway (B9PP3977), Bromley County Court, 20 November 2017
This case concerned the inducement of the grant a tenancy by deception, where false statements were made by the tenant. At trial, Mark was successful not only in obtaining possession for the landlord, on the basis that it had been so induced, but also in obtaining a significant money judgment of £6,500 and costs of £5,265.
Elizabeth Davies & Others v Victoria Apartments (Prestatyn) Ltd (LVT/0026/07/16), Welsh Leasehold Valuation Tribunal, 26 September 2017
This case concerned a residential service charge dispute. A group of leaseholders were dissatisfied with the block management company's expenditure of c.£40,000 on non-structurally supportive scaffold, which was said to have been erected to prevent the potential collapse of the block. Mark successfully represented the leaseholders at tribunal in arguing that all but £7,014 of the expense was unreasonable in amount and unreasonably incurred, and therefore could not be lawfully charged to leaseholders. Mark appeared against Counsel of 25 years call.
A copy of the judgment can be found here
Anderson v Sheil (C8QZ11V4), Wrexham County Court, 22-23 June 2017
Mark was instructed by the Defendant as sole counsel in a two-day multi-track case. The matter concerned a commercial dispute, which was pleaded at c.£38,000. The case was heard before Recorder James Thom QC over two days.
The claim was substantially defeated, with the Defendant being ordered to pay just £1,340 of the total sum claimed. After the trial, Mark successfully negotiated a settlement on costs that resulted in the Claimant paying a net sum to the Defendant in respect of the his costs.
Palmater v Forrester (B02WI786), Willesden County Court, 6 September 2016
Mark successfully acted for the Claimant in a Fast Track trial for a claim for unlawful eviction relating to an AST of one month's duration. In a reserved judgment, the Claimant was awarded just under £8,000 in damages, including for aggravated damages and also a penalty sum under s.214 of the Housing Act 2004, for the failure of the landlord to comply with the requirements concerning the protection of the tenant's deposit.
Palmater v Forrester (B02WI786), Croydon County Court, 1 August 2017
Mark successfully resisted the Defendant's application to put in place a payment plan of £300 per month, in connection with the payment of the judgment debt in the original action. The Defendant's application was dismissed as being totally without merit. As well as recovering the full costs claimed for the hearing, Mark also persuaded the court to impose a civil restraining order on the Defendant, preventing him from making any further applications in connection with the matter without first obtaining permission of the court.

Thank you! It is nice to touch your lashes and not feel crispy mascara, I just don't really touch my lashes very often! xDelete
Will have to give this a try!ReplyDeleteReplies
Let me know what you think if you do :)Delete
Ooh this mascara sounds interesting! I don't think I've ever tried Max Factors mascaras so maybe I'll give this one a go.ReplyDelete

Other than the original False Lash I mentioned in the post from the Twitter promotion I don't think I've tried a Max Factor mascara before either! xDelete
The original False Lash Effect just did nothing for my lashes, so it makes me think this wouldn't either :-( xxReplyDelete
Ramblings of a Beauty Bird | Beauty BlogReplies
I find they both provide a really subtle effect, some nice length and separation, but I'd have been disappointed if I'd bought either myself as I'd be expecting a dramatic 'false lash' effect xDelete
This mascara sounds awesome, i really need to get into max factor.ReplyDelete
I haven't tried an awful lot from Max Factor but I did use their compact powder foundation for years and still occasionally use it xDelete
Great review! It sounds really good.ReplyDelete
Ooh if this is a dupe for They're Real I may have to give this a shot! I agree though, not sure the velvet thing is something that I am that bothered about.ReplyDelete
Annabel ♥
I'm not sure I'd call it a dupe (it's a while since I've actually used They're Real!) but it does remind me of the nicely separated, tidied up effect They're Real gives me xDelete

Amanda Maffei is seasoned. With a bit of rosemary, turmeric and cayenne pepper, her music stimulates the senses. An adept entertainer, musician and writer, Maffei explores myriad sounds, feels, and themes. Her extensive background guarantees audiences and listeners rich and engaging encounters of the musical kind.
Both Sides Now, her recently released professionally produced album is a formative blend of pop, jazz, folk/rock, blues, and r&b. Balking at categories, Maffei strives for new sounds – like her compelling piano and vocal voicings of Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now; her daring Monkish arrangement of Love You More; and her quirky Delta blues style Hard Changes.
Likewise, Maffei settles into a soulful ballad Back to Yes and struts her stuff, ad libbing over a gospel chorus in One Great Thing.
Maffei has opened for or shared the stage with Bill Staines, Jake Armerding, Tracy Chapman,The James Montgomery Band, Loren&Mark, Guy Carawan, Cris Williamson, among others. She has won songwriting awards, been granted Artist-in-Residency positions and had her musical theater music spotlighted on kid's TV shows as well as at the United Nations.
"Amanda Maffei combines outstanding musicianship with deft and distinctive songwriting skills. She is a joy to hear and a treat for any live audience." — Nick Noble, THE FOLK REVIVAL WICN (Worcester Public Radio)

"Your songs are like telegrams from the soul." ~Brother Blue
"It's somewhat unfair. Like the Sam Shepards, Tina Feys and Kris Kristoffersons of the world, this woman is a triple art threat. She sings like a bird, writes songs well enough to have them chosen for national commemorative events, plays piano and guitar well enough to tour if she wanted to, arranges, writes full theatre and shows, and does vocal voiceover work. Most of us are lucky to be even half-facile at one of those things." ~ Vance Gilbert

Duos / Trios (Selection of Photo Works from 1989 to 1997) by Holly Lee
Duos / Trios (Selection of Photo Works from 1989 to 1997) by Holly Lee
Opening Reception: May 9, Sat (2-6 pm)
Exhibition runs from May 6 to 24, 2015
This exhibition features selected photo works from different series, combined and presented as duos and trios. The photographs were taken some time ago, between 1989 and 1997 in Hong Kong.
Hollian Thesaurus was a significant work done between 1994 and 2000. The series has more than ten works and is a contemplation on Art, Politics, Religion and Power. From this series, the pair Jinx and Bauhinia are especially memorable, touching on the period of historical change in Hong Kong: the pre-and-post 1997, when Hong Kong was critically searching for it's identity.
On a personal level, I was looking for self identity too. This resulted in a number of photographs featuring family members, mixing new and old elements appearing in layers. I took black and white portraits of my mother and aunt in the studio when they were in their late forties. Using negative images, I created the duo-picture series, Duo: Aunt, Mother, Lolly and Me. In it there are also photos of me and my cousin Lolly, taken by a studio in the 1950's, and pictures taken at home in the 1970's. Another layer of the photo is a crayon doodle of my daughter, Iris, when she was a few years old. Several generations thus come together, in an overlapping sort of way.
Lady with glossy lips and red nail-polish is a work regenerated from an old studio portrait of my mother. Just recently I have relocated my Aunt's beautiful portrait too and I am able to create Lady in black cheongsam with flower pattern. Aunt died a few years before my mother. Now the two sisters are united, side by side.
I think photos like these have gone far beyond the domain and original definition of portraits. For Cameraworks, Holly & Wingo, I used materials from our old exhibition catalogue (1981) to recreate a new work. It is a constructed photogram on Cibachrome paper. The many processes involved spring from my belief that photography should be adventurous and fun. With this idea in mind, I can become free, and even mischievous to fabricate the later photograph We knew each other since tender age.
Footsteps of June was an outgrowth from The Golden Lotus, which was an experimental dance/theatre piece (1989) conceived by Sunny Pang. Teamed up with Norman Fung, Sunny founded the interdisciplinary group Many Levels in Performance in 1987. As an added visual component to the play The Golden Lotus, I was invited to present an exhibition, creating a new project on portraits of the musicians and dancers. The portrait of musician Peter Suart was particularly unsettling since it speaks directly to the 89 Democracy Movement at Tiananmen Square. The black leather jacket he wore for the shooting session was bought during the students movement in that very Spring in Beijing.
Photograms in Triptych was produced for the exhibition Pin-Pun, exhibited along with photo works by three other photographers. At that time I experimented a lot in the darkroom with photograms. If one's work is truly honest, it reveals who we are, where, when and how we live. At the time of producing these photograms I did not have any intention to point to our polluted world. The images were simply made of wasted stuffs.

A broken lock might create an issue where you are having difficulty getting in, but if you live in a house with windows or doors on the first floor you can usually get back in. After all, you have the key for the backdoor, even if the front door is not working properly. It might be tougher if you are in a flat which has one entrance on the third floor. In this case you might need a locksmith to get back in. Given the different situations which can arise there are locksmiths trained to help you with business, home, and vehicle lock outs.

What If an Illinois Insurance Company Negotiates in Bad Faith?
If you have been a victim of a personal injury and you pursue legal action, you will likely be seeking compensation from an insurance company, either from your own or from the insurer of the person who injured you. Insurers have a duty of good faith toward an injured person, but there are times when insurance companies fail to live up to this standard. For this reason, it is important to have an experienced Illinois personal injury lawyer on your side.
What Does It Mean to Negotiate in Bad Faith?
The insurance company may be negotiating in bad faith if it makes a settlement offer for less than the entire amount of their policy when the case is clearly worth in excess of the policy. While not all insurance companies will engage in these practices, it is important to have a capable Illinois personal injury lawyer on your side to keep the possibility in check.
It is important to note that a difference in opinion over how much your personal injury claim is worth does not constitute bad faith. A difference of opinion — even a large one — is not unusual, which is part of why it is so important to have a personal injury lawyer helping you get the compensation you deserve.
What are the Consequences of Negotiating in Bad Faith?
The Illinois Insurance Code allows you to recover additional damages if the Insurance company's refusal to offer fair compensation is "vexatious and without reasonable cause."
If it is proven that the insurance company has acted in bad faith while handling your claim, you may be eligible to receive compensation well above what you would have received for the injury alone.

Happy Monday!
Well, the weekend certainly whizzed by, didn't it? Both days were absolutely packed as we zipped around the city collecting things for upcoming projects around the home, baked up a storm and finished our latest DIY project – a catio (cat-safe patio).
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend – not long to go now until Labour Weekend and an extra day of relaxation. But until then, here are five things to get your week off to a great start…
- Let's kick things off a cute video – that doesn't feature a cat! This one's for all the dog-lovers – a dog driving a toddler in a small toy car. Cuteness overload.
- Looking for a challenge? Then consider giving next month's Walking Stars 21.1km walk a try and help raise money for the Cancer Society. I've signed up with a great group of women from work and am on a mission to raise as much as I can – see how I'm getting on here and please do donate a dollar or two if you can, it's such a great cause.
- We're planning a big weekend in the garden this labour weekend so are on the lookout for the perfect plants – and this app is making it so easy! Simply take a picture of a plant and the app will tell you what it's called, along with lots of handy info about planting them.
- I don't mean to alarm anyone, but Christmas actually isn't too far away now and I can't wait to lay my paws on this awesome jumper.
- Speaking of cats, here are 105 cats in costumes to brighten your Monday. Cute, huh?

Alone for the holidays? Check. No date for New Years? Check. Another Thanksgiving, Christmas, NYE with all the people who have no partner and no family? Check. Admitting the problem is the first step to recovery, right? So what is it you are supposed to recover from at holidays alone? Do you start thinking, "hmmm, maybe Scrooge wasn't that far off the mark?" ….and not thinking that's weird? What is going on here? Somehow, no matter how wonderful, fun, interesting and exciting one's life is, the holidays can bring you to your knees if you are looking at another year alone. 11 months of feeling FINE about being single, count for naught a little bit after Halloween. It's all ok, you are cruising alone, enjoying your independence, thumbing your nose at friends who are saddled with annoying husbands and bratty kids. Being single doesn't phase you at all, in fact most of the time you love it. So, by Thanksgiving/Christmas day, especially if you are attending yet another "I-have-no-one-so-I'm-here" dinners, you're thinking, "hmmm this would be easy to sidestep, all I have to do is go to Europe and – voila!" Maybe next year that will be the plan. Who needs ten thousand calories in one day anyway? Ah, but that is only the beginning of the HELL-idays.
Flash forward a couple weeks. Walking down 5th Avenue, on a beautiful winter night. The lights are amazing. All the Christmas decorations sparkling in the windows, a little snow on the ground. Gorgeous. It feels fine. Then you suddenly notice a couple, walking hand in hand, laughing and looking at diamonds in the window of Cartier. They kiss and as you pass, you hear him say to her, "I love you soooo much". Ouch, that hurt a little but you're ok. You keep walking. You then notice another couple in a horse drawn carriage kissing passionately, and then another…and another. "What the hell", you think. "Am I the only single person in this whole damn city?" Oh no, maybe not. There sits a lonely middle aged woman by herself on the bench, looking sad and despondent. "OMG", it dawns on you, "that's me in a few years?" And the torture doesn't end there. Then there is Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and the dreaded New Years Eve. By New Years Day you feel like you have been run over by a trash truck, kind of relieved only to be reminded Valentines is right around the corner. Who invents these holidays? Sadists?
The question you manage to suppress all year long hits you like a ton of bricks when you go Christmas shopping and have no one to buy a gift for, when you decorate your tree and then sit alone and admire it, when you get to observe all the couples around you on New Years Eve having their midnight kiss and you have no one you really care to kiss. During non-holiday times it seems ok. You don't think about it that much. You kind of accept that, that's the way it is and you enjoy your life. So what's the problem?
YOU ARE ALONE. Not that you don't "date". Not that you don't have a fling or two here and there. Not that there aren't a half a dozen or so guys that clearly would give their left nut to be with you. That's ALL well and good, but when it comes down to what really matters in life, what really, really, really matters, the most important thing – someone to share it with – is missing. The holidays somehow strip away the facade and force you to face the hard cold truth. You get to look it right in the eye, no denial, no excuses, no diversionary tactics, and only a little egg nog as novocaine which actually make you feel worse. Just the raw reality of being over 30 and alone is all there is.
It happens every year, but each year it hurts a little worse. Maybe it's a case of hitting relationship "rock-bottom." This year though, you take something away from it. You make a decision, a resolution if you will, to start getting serious about finding a soulmate. All the years of blowing it off and not caring have culminated in a resounding din of the Universe yelling in your ear, "FIND SOMEONE YOU TRULY LOVE & WHO LOVES YOU BACK!" Acting cool, never trying that hard, ignoring a myriad of suitors out of sheer complacence, suddenly seems like a foolish waste of precious time.
What else really matters? What could be more important than finding your soulmate? Nothing else, really. When all else is taken away, love is all there is. When the party is over, when the crowd has gone home, when your beauty fades, when you are in your best and worst times, who is there for you? At the end of your life on your deathbed, will you be thinking, "Gee I didn't spend enough hours working or going to parties?" or "If only I had a few more months to go running around with a bunch of miscellaneous people doing who knows what?"
No. What will likely run though your head are the times spent with your true love. I mean, unless you have kids, what else really matters? Nothing. Not-a-thing. For someone with no children yet, finding your soulmate has to be job one! Everything emanates from that. Nothing in life has the depth of meaning it could and should in the absence of true love. Holidays are Hell-idays without someone to share them with. Life in general is somewhat hollow and vacant, even in the presence of many friends. Nothing is sadder than feeling totally alone at a huge party full of happy celebrating couples.
Being alone during the holidays is not about 'being alone during the holidays'. It's about being alone – period. It gives you a window of truth about life and about yourself. The holidays are like an ice cold slap in the face and an undeniable reality check on what your priorities in life really are. So what are they? Find someone you love who loves you too, connect with him or her, commit to that person. If that one thing in your life is in place and in order, all else will follow.

Microwave ovens cook food by using microwaves which penetrate the food. This causes moisture molecules to vibrate and heat up. Microwaved food continues cooking for 2-4 minutes after the cooking period is finished so allow for this to avoid overcooking.
The more water in the food the more quickly it cooks and as most vegetables are more than 90% water they cook quickly.
Cook vegetables on high power (100%) or automatic function, if possible, to take out guesswork. The power supply to microwave ovens varies so consult the microwave's manual for specific cooking times.
To prepare vegetables for microwaving:
- Cut vegetables into uniformly sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Use only a small quantity of water. Usually the water left clinging to leaves after washing is sufficient.
- Pierce whole or unpeeled vegetables before cooking to prevent bursting.
- Cover the dish with a plate, lid or plastic film to speed cooking and to keep vegetables moist.
- Arrange vegetables with the thickest stalks or spears, which need the most cooking, towards the outside of the dish.
- Season vegetables after cooking. Salting may cause vegetables to lose moisture during cooking.
Cooking times also depend on:
- the size of vegetables
- the quantity being cooked
- the density and moisture content of the vegetable
- the characteristics of your oven
- any power fluctuations in your area

Local residents won't have to travel to Hollywood to attend the Academy Awards. On April 27, William Woods University will sponsor its own Oscar-style event, complete with red carpet.
Dubbed the "Red Carpet Showcase," the event is a celebration of WWU student films produced by communication majors in the arts division during the 2010-2011 academic year. It will be held April 27 at B & B Fulton Cinema 8, 521 Commons Dr. Six student films–five shorts and one feature–will headline the event, which is free and open to the public.
The showcase features fictional shorts starring several members of the William Woods community, as well as documentaries researched across various disciplines. It also displays radio and television excerpts from WWU's broadcasting program.
Film and theatre students will arrive to walk the red carpet at 6:30 p.m. to greet guests and the media. The show begins at 7 p.m. in Cinema 8's large digital auditorium and will end around 10 p.m.
The program:
"Smokin' Guns," directed by Lincoln Purvis of Montgomery City, Mo., is a Western-comedy rated G and running seven minutes. It stars Cal Hawkins of Wentzville, Mo.; Larry Ellis of Fulton, Mo., Kayla Pulliam of Bloomington-Normal, Ill., and Jason Cavallone of Chicago, Ill.
"The Forest," directed by Aaron Griffin of Jefferson City, Mo., is a military drama rated R and running 20 minutes. Actors in "The Forest" are Drew Arnett of Columbia, Mo.; Courtney Shotwell of Chesterfield, Mo., and Hawkins.
"Dreams," directed by Sarah Knapp of Festus, Mo., is a documentary rated G and running 20 minutes.
"Jump Start," written by Purvis and directed by D. Jason Knowles, is a psychological drama rated PG-13/R and running 15 minutes. It stars Bailey Campanini of Camdenton, Mo.; Jennifer Steindorf of San Diego, Calif.; Becky Roberts of Moberly, Mo., Ellis and Pulliam. "Jump Start" is a collaborative film production developed and shot by students in theatre 310—Acting for the Camera and communication 232—Digital Production II.
"The Duel," directed by and starring Purvis with cinematography by Christopher Norton of St. Clair, Mo., is a Western-comedy rated G and running three minutes.
"Utopia Conspiracy," screenplay by Joshua Potter, an alumnus from Fulton, Mo., and directed by Norton, is a modern Film Noir rated PG-13 and running 72 minutes. Staunzie Grady of Seattle, Wash.; Samuel Binkley of Fulton, Mo.; Rachel Petricka of Las Vegas, Nev.; Potter, Arnett, Campanini and Steindorf appear in this film.
Norton, a senior digital filmmaking major, says he enjoys filmmaking because he believes it is the only medium that is able to communicate to everyone.
"It doesn't matter what background you're from or who you are, films are able to take anyone away from their current lives and transport them into a fictional world where everyone experiences the same things," he said. "I like taking people to the fictional worlds I create."
According to Jason Knowles, who teaches all the digital filmmaking and broadcasting production courses, the digital filmmaking program at William Woods University is committed to developing each student's knowledge beyond a traditional understanding of motion pictures.
"Our innovative curriculum requires filmmakers to work together collaboratively, as well as one-on-one with their professors, applying historical and theoretical concepts to practice in a way that enhances their own creative voice," Knowles said.
From their first production course, film students have access to professional studio space and an Apple-Macintosh post-production lab inside WWU's Gladys Woods Kemper Center for the Arts. They can also utilize the school's inventory of professional standard- and high-definition digital cameras, lighting and sound equipment, and resource connections to WWU's theatre program, as well as to the greater Fulton community.
"Upon graduation," Knowles said, "a William Woods filmmaker has developed an extensive demo reel and the festival experience necessary to become an innovative professional—an artist/ entertainer/educator who can perform as a critical thinker, creative planner and effective practitioner in multiple film industries—wh

It was a perfect weekend for young Pukekohe driver Liam Lawson at the opening round of the New Zealand Formula 1600 Championship held in adverse conditions at Timaru International Raceway on Saturday. Also doubling as the second round of the South Island F1600 Championship (SIF1600), the 14-year-old set fastest lap in qualifying and won all three races. Local Christchurch driver Michael Collins was second fastest in qualifying and three times finished runner up to Lawson.
Eighteen drivers faced heavy drizzle and a slippery track for qualifying on Saturday morning followed by a very wet first race. Most drivers had a wet 'set-up' for race two on a wet but drying track and then raced the third on a completely dry circuit. It was the first time for Lawson at Timaru and only his second race weekend in a Formula 1600. Earlier in October Lawson had an abrupt ending to his F1600 debut in Christchurch. After qualifying fastest at the opening round of the SIF1600, engine trouble in the early stages of race one brought an ending to his weekend.
"We're stoked with winning today," commented Lawson. "It's the best result we could hope for after what happened at Ruapuna. We came here wanting points and the best way to do that is to win, so really happy."
Starting alongside Lawson, Collins always had the advantage of better initial grip and lead the field away in all three races. But Lawson always had the superior speed over Collins older Class 2 car.
"We always knew that Liam (Lawson) would be quick so not surprised by the results today," said Collins.
Third overall for the weekend was Southland's Ethan Anderson from Dyson Freeman and Grant Campbell. The trio had several close battles in all three races along with Jordan Michels who was looking strong for a top overall result only to be thwarted with engine trouble in the last race.
While Lawson takes an immediate lead in the national competition, Collins has extended his lead in the South Island championship from Ethan Anderson with Royce Bayer third.
For the second year running on offer for the winner of the national title will be the opportunity to attend an international 'shoot-out' to determine who wins a $US200K fully supported drive in the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda in 2018.
Drivers and teams now head to Invercargill for the third round of the South Island championship 3-4 December, then two consecutive rounds supporting the 2017 Toyota Racing Series in Christchurch (12-15 January) and back in Invercargill (19-22 January).

A botanical eruption has occurred, thanks to a beautiful spring combined with prodigious watering by The Brazilian and my sister while I was away for almost two weeks in New York and Boston (you can see lots of shots of my American garden moments on Instagram). Before I left, the garden had still to throw off the vestiges of spring: the morello cherry looked like a pretty bride all in white blossom, the Menton tulips had still to come out, the drumstick primulas were nodding their purple heads, and the honesty had just started to show its colours. By the time I returned, summer had galloped into town in a coach and four, whip cracking and a whinny and a snort. Fresh off the plane, I dropped my suitcase and stared at the now enormous leaves of the honesty, big as dinner plates, at the delphiniums drowning the roses, at the coarse fronds of the once delicate primulas, the giant seed heads of the muscari and the grotesque, hairy buds of the oriental poppy, and through my haze of jetlag felt as though I'd sparked life in a creature that was now careering wilfully out of control. Had I applied too much blood, fish and bone before I left?
My Menton tulips are currently the stars of the garden. I grew these last year and was so impressed by their size and vigour that I decided to repeat the effect. Though I left last year's Mentons in the soil, I was sad (though not wholly surprised) to see that none returned this spring. In contrast to snowdrops, muscari and daffodils, which multiply reliably year after year, tulips can be an expensive habit as they need purchasing anew each autumn. Now that this year's tulips are over, I am already considering which varieties I will grow next year and I will try to write a post specifically about my successes and failures in 2016 which will be of great help when ordering my tulips for 2017.
There were supposed to be more Mentons, but a dastardly squirrel has eaten several of the buds. (If anyone has any suggestions for deterring squirrels, please pipe up.) Meanwhile, the earlier white (unknown variety) and yellow ('Golden Apeldoorn') tulips in the large terracotta pot have also been a happy success, though time has reduced them to all but bare stalks and smudges of vintage yellow petal.
Never mind the demise of the tulips, because allium time is almost upon us. The chives are already in flower (I have been adding the flowers to salads for modern elegance and a spicy kick) and the 'Purple Sensations' have produced numerous flowers that will be out in the next week or so. I await the giant white 'Mount Everest' with great anticipation.
Meanwhile, the garden has been taken over by honesty, a biennial that I grew from seed last year and which has grown somewhat taller than I foresaw, adding plenty of height and colour and delighting the bees; the flat seed pods are beginning to form, and these will look excellent in vases.
No British garden should be without columbines. Last year I raided someone else's garden for seeds and scattered them across my soil, but despite their famous promiscuity no columbines were begat chez nous. So I blued a tenner on two pots of ready-grown and I'm so glad I did because I am already greatly enjoying the heavenly dark purple 'granny's bonnets', which look so lovely in among the honesty. I have been working hard to increase and maintain a variety of British native flowers in my garden such as columbines, foxgloves, honesty, and lily-of-the-valley, as they look natural, are reliably hardy, self-seed or spread easily (free plants!), have decent resistant to our native pests, and most importantly attract native pollinators.
The future stars of my garden are going to be the geraniums that I planted in profusion this year and last. "When in doubt, plant a geranium" said Margery Fish famously. Several of mine are self-seedlings taken from my mother's garden and whose variety shall be a surprise, and I have added several 'Rozanne' here and there. Already in flower is my Geranium phaeum or Cranesbill, which is a very subtle little flower of burgundy red, which I planted last year and which I liked very much on a recent visit to Shepherd House near Musselburgh, where they have a very good display of them.
My peony 'Avalanche' has been exceptionally vigorous given that this is just its second year (no flowers yet, but I hope I might get some next year). Elsewhere, 'Sarah Bernhardt', also in its second year, has not developed quite so well and I wonder if I may have planted it too deep. Peonies do not much like to be moved, and I am loathe to take the risk of disturbing it, so will wait another year and see how it does before attempting to alter its position.
As I mentioned, the oriental poppy has grown enormous and we should see flowers in the next fortnight. I sowed quite a lot of seeds from this poppy and was rewarded, or punished, whichever way you look at it, by the runaway success of this enterprise, resulting in at least, oh, a thousand healthy seedlings which I have been potting up and giving away as gifts. Elsewhere, the little yellow poppies that grow like weeds all over Edinburgh have come back again; I do not mind, and quite appreciate the dots of butter yellow they provide to the front of the border. I have also spied seedlings of 'Black Peony' poppies half buried at the back of the border, which I grew in 2015 and which lasted about twelve minutes in the high winds. If any survive to maturity, I shall shake some seeds closer to the front of the border where they shall be more visible next year. In a slightly different shade of deep red, my Cotinus 'Dusky Maiden' is out (I thought I'd killed it). I am considering moving this sun-loving shrub to the back garden and replacing it with a hydrangea 'Limelight' that will go very well with the coppery blue of the pot and will not mind the temperamental and rapid shifts from light to shadow that occur in the front garden after the street trees come in to leaf.
The first delphinium spikes are showing, as are the foxgloves. I adore tall plants; they somehow make the garden feel enclosed and secret.

Oh, I know a lot of "Death at a Funeral" is in very bad taste. That's when I laughed the most. I don't laugh at movies where the characters are deliberately being vulgar. But when they desperately don't want to be--now that's funny. Consider the scene when Uncle Russell eats too much nut cake and is seized by diarrhea. And Norman wrestles him off his wheelchair and onto the potty, and gets his hand stuck underneath. Reader, I laughed. I'm not saying I'm proud of myself. That's not the way I was raised. But I laughed.
I laughed all the way through, in fact. This is the best comedy since "The Hangover," and although it's almost a scene-by-scene remake of a 2007 British movie with the same title, it's funnier than the original. For the character of Frank, the mysterious guest who wants to speak privately with the dead man's sons, it even uses the same actor, Peter Dinklage, and he's funnier this time. Maybe that's because when a comedy gets on a roll, everything is funnier.
The funeral is taking place at home, because that's how the deceased wanted it. Also living at home are his oldest son Aaron (Chris Rock), Aaron's wife Michelle (Regina Hall), and his mother Cynthia (Loretta Devine). Both Michelle and Cynthia are on his case for having not yet fathered a child. Aaron dreams of publishing a novel, while his younger brother Ryan (Martin Lawrence) has published several, which sound like porn to me, but hey, they're in print.
The mourners arrive after various adventures of the cadaver, and get into all sorts of bizarre and dire trouble in ways that the screenplay carefully explains. How was Elaine (Zoe Saldana) to know that a bottle labeled "Valium" contained a next generation hallucinogen when she gave one to her boyfriend Oscar (James Marsden)? It's an old gag, the guy accidentally freaked out on drugs, but Marsden elevates it to bizarre heights with a rubber face that reflects horror, delight, nausea and affection more or less simultaneously.
There's no use in my providing a blow by blow of the plot, since it's deliriously screwball and it doesn't much matter what happens, as long as something always is. But I can mention what deft timing and high energy this cast has, each actor finding the rhythm for each character instead of all racing about in manic goofiness. Dinklage, for example, is as good at playing dead serious as Tommy Lee Jones, and here he's always on tone for a man who has come for compelling personal reasons. The brothers and Norman don't really wish harm to befall him, but you can see how it does. Then there is a certain logic to how they react. They're only human.
Loretta Devine has a possibly thankless role as the surviving matriarch, but her timing is delicious as she associates the death of a husband with the absence of a grandchild. Both Regina Hall and Zoe Saldana are steadfast in their love in the midst of chaos, and Danny Glover goes over the top as the cantankerous uncle because, well, that's what the role requires.
British actors are rightly known for their skill, and there were some good ones in the 2007 version of the same Dean Craig screenplay. But playing proper upper-crust characters tends to restrain them. The family in "Death at Funeral" is obviously wealthy, but loose--more human. Their emotions are closer to the surface, and these actors work together like a stock company.
Notice too, the way director Neil LaBute directs traffic. Because the action is screwball doesn't mean it can be confusing. Screwball depends crucially on us knowing where key characters are, and why. LaBute juggles parallel actions in the big family home so we understand who's in the bathroom and who's in the living room and why everybody is out on the lawn. There's a smooth logic to it that works like spatial punchlines.
LaBute is a brilliant playwright and director who is usually the director of very dark comedies ("In the Company of Men," "Your Friends and Neighbors"). But a good director is a good director, and LaBute here, like David Gordon Green with "Pineapple Express," masters the form. And oooh, that's a mean line about R. Kelly.

Despite many years of rising NPA and bank problems, we just keep moving from one regulation to other. The latest regulation is Prompt Corrective Action which apparently is not really new. It was started in 2002 and has been modified recently in 2017. As expected, media is buzz with whether this PCA 2.0 will correct banking problems.
What is not understood or questioned how these things have gone so wrong?
RBI is perhaps one of those few central banks which has extensive powers to regulate and monitor our banks. The central bank got these powers under Banking Regulation Act (1949). Section 35 of the Act gives wide inspection powers to the central bank. RBI in its first history volume celebrates passage of this Act which gave central bank powers to put our banks in order. Apart from capital and reserves requirements, the History notes:

Floor lamps make a great addition to any room. Whether they are used for task lighting or mood lighting, everyone can benefit from having a floor lamp in their home or office.
Although they have proven to be very useful and reliable, there is one issue that keeps popping up when it comes to floor lamps: the lamp pole.
As the name suggests, a floor lamp is a type of lamp that stands on its own. Unlike its little brother, the desk lamp the floor lamp supports itself and can stand on its feet to provide a better lighting for those who use it.
The problem with having its own feet to stand on is the wear and tear of the poles. Many floor lamps tend to lean or are unable to maintain its balance because the pole's grip loosens over time and sags to one side.
This can be very irritating especially if you are used to having your handy floor lamp lighting your workspace, living room, or even your reading nook. For many people, a sagging or leaning floor lamp means it is time to buy a new one to replace the old one.
Yes, this is a quick fix and since there are some affordable floor lamps available it can easily be done without worrying about your budget. What if there's a way to save your lamp and save you from making an unnecessary purchase?
Learning how to fix a floor lamp pole is the answer to this pesky and common problem. Here are some easy steps to follow:
Step 1: As a safety precaution, always unplug the floor lamp before handling it or doing any repairs. If the lamp has been recently used, wait until the bulb has reached room temperature before attempting any repairs.
Step 2: Examine the floor lamp to find the loosened pole. Do this by gently touching and wiggling the different parts of the lamp. A great place to start is beneath the socket of the lamp and slowly work your way down.
Using the base as a spot to stabilize the lamp, take hold of the pole and wiggle it gently to determine whether the base is the source of the wobbliness or if other parts of the base move more than they should.
Step 3: Set the lamp down with or without the shade gently on a soft material like a pillow.
Step 4: While holding the bottom steady, twist the top part of the lamp pole in a clockwise manner. This will help tighten the loose middle tube. Repeat the same step on other tubes that are attached to the lamp when necessary.
Step 5: If the problem has not yet been resolved and your lamp is still wobbly, it is time to check the lamp base. Examine the base to see if there are any loose screws or nuts that may be responsible for the lamp's wobbliness. If there are loose screws, simply tighten them using a Philips-head screwdriver and set the lamp upright.
Step 6: Do the gentle wiggle test again to see if all parts are properly tightened, especially the poles. If you notice that it produces the same sound or the poles are still leaning or sagging, tighten it further without being too rough on the poles.
Step 7: Once you have gone through the inspection again and you have determined that everything from the base up to the length of the pole is in good shape, replace the lamp shade if you removed it and up the lamp back in standing position.
Additional Tips
If you assembled the floor lamp yourself, keep the instruction manual because it might help you learn how to fix a floor lamp pole. For most cases, a loosened pole is usually the result of the lack of tightening during initial assembly. Having the instruction manual around will serve as a good reference for standard maintenance checks.
Those who are dealing with exposed wires or something more complicated than how to fix a floor lamp pole through tightening should seek help from a professional.
Don't forget that it is safety first when dealing with anything that uses electricity as a power source. Always unplug the floor lamp before attempting any repairs or maintenance checks.

Slaver was officially abolished centuries ago however many people still live under a different type of enslavement. Around the world there are people who are either kidnapped or lured under false pretense to other countries to work in inhumane illegal circumstances.
This situation is known as human trafficking and it has become much more visible over the past few years. Here are some ways that you conduct research on it and derive from that a paper that you can be proud of:
This type of trafficking has been and continues to be studied by many international bodies. By looking at their reports you can gain some very important insights to help you with your research such as:
There are many survivors who are eager to share their stories to make others less susceptible to this problem. Compile a list and make sure to research ahead of time so you will know the more politically correct ways to refer to aspects of their ordeals. If they were trafficked into the illegal sex trade, some of them may no longer wish to refer to the people who 'purchased' them as boyfriends or pimps. They may be thought of as primary abusers. It helps to ask the survivor what she prefers because these concepts may be triggers which revisit the trauma in difficult ways.
You may want to write original and world altering research but you cannot hope to do so unless you know what's already out there. The work you want to do may already have been done by someone else. Make sure that you are up to date so that you do not inadvertently write redundant work. Yo do not even need to read it all. You can even split the work among friends if that helps.
We can hope that a world where human rights are always respected will one day come but only by researching problems like these will we get anywhere near that point.

Another major roll out for Google Pigeon update has taken place. This time, the update has extended beyond USA to all the English speaking locales like UK, Canada, Australia etc. Indians however have to wait for some more time because this update has yet not been rolled out in India.
The Pigeon update has been aimed at providing a more useful, relevant and accurate local search results linking them closely to traditional web search ranking signals. It was reported that some big brands have lost 5-10% of their organic traffic post-Pigeon.
Ranking Factors That Pigeon Considers:
1- Location of the searcher (displays results only within 10-20 miles of the search location)
2- Quality of baclinks pointing to the site
3- Co-citations and References
4- Increased emphasis on Knowledge Graph
5- It overweights brand queries (EMD domains might get a boost)
6- Relevancy of Google My Business Page and careful linking of Google My Business Page with the main site URL.
Have a look at the below video for learning more about the Pigeon update:
