Pay attention to South Loop schools
Letter to the editor
It happens about once or twice a week: someone in my South Loop neighborhood is helping a stranger with directions to the Soldier Field bridge, parking tips for Grant Park activities or delicious eats south of Roosevelt. We do this without question. We love the South Loop. What may appear as large concrete slabs to the passersby, we know there are crevices of communities and parks that would make anyones mouth water. I would list all of these in this blog post, but I wont. The purpose of this post is to focus on an increasing trend among parents we run into every single day: the talk of moving.
Our little one spends a lot of time in the Womens Park. We also tend to a fantastic community garden plot (dont touch the tomatoes!). Its natural for Lily to begin playing with other kids. Instead of the how old is your kid pleasantries, I am often asked about school, namely, which private school Ill be sending our 2.5-year-old. This exchange was also common in Lilys music class, grocery shopping trips and random conversations in local parks. I wrote about this dilemma before, but it seems to be getting worse.
Parents south of the South Loop School cutoff are, in a nutshell, beside themselves with deciding on where to send their tots to school. OK, I know this is a CITYWIDE thing, but lets be real here. We have a community of established residents sharing barbeques with parents of toddlers and, potentially, FUTURE community leaders of the city. What was once deemed a place to get rid of, the South Loop continues to bloom with new restaurants and a soon-to-be Cheap Trick resident. Thats right. The rock band Cheap Trick is building a cool entertainment venue a stones throw from my house. Oh, and lets not forget about the brewery.
I can tell you first hand that parents dont understand why the old Jones College Prep wont be turned into a public high school. I can tell you first hand that upwardly mobile parents are going out of their way to drive their kids to private schools on the north side or Hyde Park. Families are slowly beginning to tell stories of larger yards and easy-to-walk-to public schools, eliminating the struggle many of us face with where should they go?
Parents feel this way because they absolutely love where they live. From the lovely outdoor cafe of Cafe Society to the endless parks and easy access to the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Art Institute or Planetarium, South Loopers relish in the fact that we can share these treats with our kids and out of town families. We are willing to give up some space to live in the middle of diversity, with close access to our jobs in the Loop.
Yet, here we are. Overcrowding at South Loop School, below average scores for the National Teachers Academy and the possibility of a building being demolished to even up a road?
At the same time, you have at least 122 families that are members of the South Loop Moms & Tots Group and that is only a fraction of the larger kiddo population in the area. The same population that is on the cusp of leaving an area theyve been helping rebuild alongside the long term residents, people that frequent local businesses and are the first to promote the neighborhood to other Chicagoans.
Im a public school-raised kid from kindergarten all through college. Mr. Mayor, you have the right and the option to financially send your kids to the Lab School. This isnt for my family, nor is it for the countless families who want to continue building their lives in the South Loop.
So, I continue our family weekend trips to every nearby suburb in the area. I update my notes, my spreadsheets and keep tabs on where else we would live. And Ill continue to dream of those days in Warren, Mich., the days when I would walk 16 houses to school and sometimes make it home for lunch.

Access to a building does not guarantee a quality education. For real change in the CPS system, we can't be passive consumers. Whether it's creating a new program (HS at Jones), working to turnaround a struggling one (NTA), or sustaining a successful one (South Loop), we must actively engage in, support, and commit to these programs. It's not an easy or quick process, but the first step is sending our kids to these schools and working intensely as a community to make them the best they can be.

It better not be NTA. Below average scores? You're not comparing the same group of students. NTA has several Nationally Board Certified teachers. Most of the teachers have master degrees. It is a committed group if professionals that work hard with it's students. There is always talk of pushing out the students to make room for the rich, white kids. Instead, why not join forces with NTA and make it a diverse school? Check out these sites to see that NTA isn't your ordinary school. http://www.nationalteachersacademy.com/Staff_and_Faculty.html

This is what I don't get. One big argument to spend over $100 mill (much of it TIF) on the new Jones bldg was the old Jones was, well old, too small, in need of many things, without some basic things that HS's need -- and so now the bldg is just fine? Because so much TIF money was used, there's going to be a neighborhood, lottery based accommodation within the new Jones. That's what spending the TIF $ got the people of the area. Blame the SL leadership who didn't think this whole thing thru.

As a resident of the neighboring Chinatown, we are so exciting to see the growth happening in the South Loop! The Greater Chinatown area has experienced a 40% growth since the 2000 Census and there is a HUGE need for a neighborhood high school and further elementary support - Students are commuting at 5am just to get to class! Isn't it OBVIOUS there needs to be GREATER Support for the NEIGHBORHOOD we live in & not push us out further out & away~

It being over a week since the parliamentary election, calm has been restored. Mr Ross has accepted defeat, and Mr St Aubyn is preparing to take his place as member for the new St Ives constituency, The broken windows have been mended, and – to wax metaphorical for a moment - the proverbial hatchet is "at least half-way to its grave". And today, in the dock at Penzance police court, were the rioters and other assorted miscreants – "called upon to answer for their misdeeds", in front of a crowded courtroom.
Mr Borlase blamed "disorderly and drunken characters" for the trouble, rather than "persons having any direct interest in politics", and he was assuredly correct. Now, in daylight, we could all inspect the ringleaders at our leisure. And it was not a pretty sight. Take, first of all, Boon. His "levity" was such that he earned the rebuke of the Chairman. He was charged with breaking Mr Hooper's and Mr Robinson's windows in Market Jew Street. Then Fletcher, the umbrella mender. He's only recently arrived in the town, yet has already come to the attention of the police. It was he who heaved that huge board and smashed Mr Hooper's plate glass, doing damage to the tune of £8! With them the likes of 'Matty' and 'Lammy', as they were referred to in the court room, as if they were not even possessed of decent baptismal names. Such are the examples we have before us of Mr Ross' disappointed supporters, and their response when the result of the poll was announced.
And yet, even in cases of such a clear-cut nature as this, British justice and fair play must prevail. And here I must offer up a word or two on the subject of Mr Branwell, one of the magistrates. Now, this gentleman would not deny that he is an out-and-out Tory. Indeed, more than that: he has taken "a most active part" in the unsuccessful Conservative campaign, seeking the return of Mr Ross. The Mayor, who is (as one might expect) of similar persuasion, judged that it was not right for him to pass sentence on the riotous element, lest his sympathy with their disappointment led him to anything that could be construed as bias in their favour. His Worship retired from the Bench for this part of the proceedings. But Mr Branwell did not see fit to follow his example. Indeed, from his line of questioning it did at times appear that it was the shopkeepers – those whose windows had been broken –who found themselves in the dock. Mr Branwell kept harping on about how they had been warned, repeatedly, not to plaster their business premises with offensive anti-Conservative cartoons and the like.
The window-breakers found guilty today were fined £1. Their fines were apparently paid at once, quite by whom is not known.
We may only hope that "old sores" and bitter memories" will not be restored to querulous life, should the candidates once more find that, all untimely, they must be-stir themselves to secure our votes. Let all concerned in the disturbances rather show that they have learnt from the error of their ways, and will – once they are of an age to vote – have grown into their new role as electors!
But let the masters, too, remember their duty to administer justice with an impartial hand.

Zipp's Tangente Cork Brake Pads are perfect for Zipp wheels with carbon braking surfaces. They are made of a composite cork polymer for consistent brake response and to reduce glazing from the intense heat caused by braking on carbon. As a result, the Tangente cork pads avoid the brake pulsation produced by residue buildup from rubber pads and can even eliminate pulsation from rims with previous buildup. These pads have a unique shape with more material in the front to improve durability and shed water. Although the composite material wears similarly to low-temperature rubber compounds, the Tangente cork pads last longer than most rubber carbon-specific pads because of the shape and 0.5 mm greater overall thickness.
Whether your adrenaline rush comes on swooping asphalt descents or on rutted, muddy cyclocross courses, TRP's Spyre disc brake gives you superb all-conditions speed control in a lightweight package. These mechanical discs are specially designed for road and 'cross bikes with traditional cable-actuated road levers. The Spyre's dual-piston caliper engages both brake pads for a crisp, responsive lever-feel and excellent stopping power. The dual-piston design also wears the pads evenly and makes adjustments a cinch. These brakes deliver the perfect amount of control for your needs, whether it's long, hilly descents or frequent, lower-speed dismounts in cyclocross. Plus, their slim profile tucks in neatly for great aerodynamics and uninhibited 'cross remounts, so the Spyres will only slow you down when you want.
- Stainless steel shim helps center the rotor perfectly within the disc brake caliper - Great for swapping wheelsets without the threat of brake drag
$27.99 - $39.99

Is there a beauty brand left on the planet that hasn't launched a liquid lipstick, especially in the wake of Kylie Lip Kit fever? You'd be hard pressed to find one. Yet when Charlotte Tilbury was shown the formula for one by the lab she works with, she dismissed it immediately. "I said 'I don't care, I don't believe in it'" she recalls. "I'm obsessed with matte lips but I don't like the car paint feel that it has." So Tilbury challenged the lab to come up with a formula "where I wouldn't look like The Mummy Returns." They answered the call and the result is Hollywood Lips, whose formula includes hyaluronic acid, beeswax and sea lavender, which provides plumping and firming benefits and is extracted from a marine plant. ""When it goes on, it's hydrating, it's very smoothing and also gives you that plumped out lips, filling those lines," she says of the ten shades, which launched last month. The applicator, shaped like a crescent, hugs the lips and is part of Tilbury's attempt to provide her expert application technique to her customers. "I'm in the wand controlling people," she laughs.
Another brand founder who didn't get on board with the liquid lipstick trend right away was Susanne Langmuir of Bite Beauty. Given that the category has been overshadowing lipstick bullets in sales for the last two years, Bite's parent company Kendo asked Langmuir about doing one of her own. The problem was she still "obsessively" searching for alternative ingredients to meet her non-synthetic ingredient standards. She finally found when she was looking for in coconut alkanes and Monoi butter, which allows the product to go on like a gloss and flashes off to a semi-glaze finish as opposed to matte. Her version, Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick launched in 12 shades in June and just added six more a few weeks ago.

NEW YORK AND WASHINGTON, D.C. – MAY 3, 2017 – Situs, the premier global provider of strategic business and technology solutions to the real estate finance industry, today announced the completion of its acquisition of The Collingwood Group ("Collingwood"), a Washington, DC based advisory firm led by the former head of FHA, and partners who have held senior leadership positions in HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHFA, focused on housing policy and regulation.

"Collingwood is a thought leader in the housing industry, and we are excited to have them join the Situs team," said Steve Powel, CEO of Situs. "This acquisition expands our professional service offering beyond the commercial real estate sector, providing residential housing expertise and advice to manage complex credit risks and address continuing regulatory challenges. Further, the Collingwood team provides a presence in Washington, D.C., to better serve our existing GSE's relationships."
"Collingwood has an established track record and credibility for providing consulting and advisory services in the housing industry," said Brian O'Reilly, President of Collingwood. "Joining Situs enables us to also provide fulfillment services to our clients, and offer these clients the same level of industry expertise in the commercial real estate sector. The acquisition will also accelerate our growth in the strategy, risk management and regulatory-compliance area."
"We are delighted to partner with such an experienced and well-regarded team," said Stephen Friedman, Chairman of Stone Point Capital, a financial services-focused private-equity firm and the majority owner of Situs. "Collingwood has deep experience and specialized expertise in the policies and regulations impacting the housing industry. These capabilities will complement Situs's service offerings in the commercial real estate sector and will significantly broaden Situs's overall position as a leading provider of risk management and operational support services to the real estate finance industry."

The background looks great, but the vector needs a lot of work. I know you said this is your second, which it is good for a second. And they'll only get better with more practice. I just want to point out a few things for your next that you should watch out for. Firstly, the line art. Some areas have line art and some don't. And it looks sloppy. Also, watch your curves, right now they are very angular and not smooth. Read up on some tutorials for the pen tool, maybe you'll come across some useful tricks. The coloring in the hair is also very choppy (it looks like you have anti-aliasing turned off). Lastly, I don't think the color of the font you used really matches the wallpaper. Maybe try something that better blends in with the background.

Or Have you thought about camping in Staffordshire but near Whitmore Heath
The Staffordshire & & Worcester Canal, started in the exact same year. the Shropshire Union Canal to the west and also the Middlewich branch of the. Llangollen Canal, form a terrific 4 areas call that could be. taken on completely or partly by boat.
In 1777 and made possible navigating from coastline to coast, between the active ports of Liverpool as well as Hull. With each other, the Trent & & Mersey Canal.
The. Trent & & Mersey Canal, constructed by james Brindley with the assistance of Wedgwood and his pal the Fight it out of Bridgewater, was ultimately finished.
Wedgwood as well as Minton that actually transformed the home sector right into. production on a much bigger range. To support the market around the centre, a network of canals and also, later on, trains was started.
Both coal and also clay were discovered in your area, which gave surge to the start of the market, though imported clay from Cornwall. was later on made use of however it was the insight as well as ingenuity of guys.
The areas around Staffordshire are well-known the world over for its ceramic. industry. Initially centred on the 5 communities of Stoke, Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley and also Longton, the Potteries were at the heart of the. Industrial Change.
It is also a location loaded with character, with captivating scattered Villages, historical market communities as well as a wide range of history The. Industrial Revolution also left its mark on the landscape, though the two excellent storage tanks of Rudyard as well as Tittesworth, constructed to provide a water to the growing market and also population of the Midlands, now deal peaceful havens for a wide variety of plants, pets as well as birds, along with leisure centers such as fishing and also boating.
After that ending along the southerly edge of the Peak District, the Staffordshire moorlands certainly rival their neighbour in terms of attraction. The undulating fields of the moorlands, in addition to the fresh air as well as old weather-worn crags, make this the dreamland to stroll, cycle or trip.
Birmingham with the Trent & & Mersey Canal, to the less well-known. Coventry Canal and the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal go through villages and hamlets as well as the towpaths provide the possibility to walk in some all of a sudden picturesque countryside.
One heritage of the era as well as a feature throughout the. whole of Staffordshire, however, is the canal network developed to link.
The southeast of the region, although existing close to the Black Country the gloomy product of the heavy industrialisation of the 18th and also 19th centuries has actually managed to retreat generally.
Well supported by an intriguing and also interesting site visitors' centre, the Chase is a must for anyone visiting this part of Staffordshire.
In addition to the Hednesford Hills, the Chase supplies a remarkable open area of forest and also moorland that is just one of the region's great recreational centres.
The southwest of Staffordshire inclusives lots of transforming landscapes, from the busy industrial towns of Stafford as well as Burton-on-Trent to the peace and peaceful of Cannock Chase.

Against all odds, Alex and I made it back from Costa Rica alive. We stayed on one of the best surfing beaches in the country, which means I spent the majority of our trip wondering what it feels like to drown. Alex explored on Google Earth and found a river mouth just a couple miles down the beach. This seemed like a good adventure for our first day, so we set out with nary a care.
The entire area was deserted. We were the only signs of life, other than some crabs and a huge flock of pelicans that Alex wanted to run towards and frighten away. We felt isolated and wild and at the very top of the food chain.
A bridge stood in the distance, ushering the river towards the rocky embankment that led to the sea. The water was brackish and opaque from the black volcanic sand. Across the way was a massive rock concealing a cove.
"Let's swim across," Alex said.
I eyed the mystery depths, unable to tell how deep it was. I've snorkeled off the coast of Kenya and done all sorts of stupid things in water, but I don't actually know how to swim, so I suggested we find a shallower crossing.
We found an area a little deeper than our waists and began to wade through the water. In that moment, my intuition was screaming. DANGER. There was something wrong with the situation, I just didn't know what—perhaps a sudden drop off, some sneaky current, or a sting ray that would Steve Irwin me into a less notorious but just as instant death.
But did I say anything? Of course not.
I followed Alex across the river, allowing him to forge what I prayed was a safe path. We made it and explored the opposite beach just long enough to notice a bunch of warning signs we assumed were about rip tides.
As we crossed back over I was once again transformed into a silent siren of anxiety. But we survived, walked back to the resort, and drank many gallons of wine.
The next day we booked a private tour to walk across some bridges in the rainforest canopy. My fear of water was vindicated by Alex's vertigo—I may think every wave is an assassin but I can still walk backwards across a hanging bridge while taking selfies.
On the drive back our tour guide offered to show us Barranca river.
"Oh yeah, we walked down and looked at it yesterday."
"Watch out for the crocodiles," he said.
I started laughing. Ha. What a joke. Funny guy.
He just stared at me.
"You're not joking?"
"This is the famous crocodile river. That's where they all live. About 1500 of them."
Alex leaned over to whisper in my ear.
"Remember when we first drove back from the airport? Didn't the driver mention something about the crocodile bridge? The one we drove over? Right by the resort?"
"Hold on," I said, needing clarification that I'd nearly died. "But the crocodiles probably don't go near the ocean, right? They stay in the river?"
The guide answered slowly, as though English were my second language.
"These are saltwater crocodiles. They go into the ocean to hunt."
I let that one sink in for a minute.
"We waded through a crocodile infested river," I said aloud. To no one. To the universe. To God, as a thank you for sparing me once again.
"I will take you to them," our guide said. "They get up to 15 feet long. You will see them all over the river."
The longer we stood on the bridge, the more they gathered below, daring us to jump. I thought back to the pelicans Alex wanted to scare, and had a very zen-like realization: We are the pelicans.
That night, over more gallons of wine, I began googling. I read about all the crocodile attacks in the area. About a Nicaraguan man who'd been devoured a few months prior. About surfers being violently pulled below the surface by the sudden clamp of teeth. Everyone seemed to know that boca barranca was where the crocodiles were "famously abundant."
I have no idea why they chose not to eat us. I imagine them lurking in the murky depths, watching us and debating whether or not to attack.
"I'm afraid to eat them. They're obviously stupid. I might catch it."
"But they look delicious—look at the whiteness of her thighs."
"It doesn't make sense, though. It must be a trap."
Obviously I'm used to almost dying overseas, but this was new to Alex—the sort of person who buys travel insurance and insists on sleeping with air conditioning. But he seemed to handle it pretty well.
"We've only been married three days and already we've had lots of sex and one near-death experience."
"I know," I said. "I love it when I almost die but don't know about it until later."
So for all of you who worried I was going to get boring now that I'm married? BOO-YAH.
Have you ever realized AFTER the fact that you were just in a dangerous situation? What are you most afraid of? Do you listen to your intuition?

text: Video surveillance in public space is common in contemporary urban environments. It is thought to be an effective deterrent against crime and terrorism. According to evaluation research, this is a false assumption. Yet cities and transport agencies continue to invest in video surveillance programs. This article uses public transport as a starting point to compare urban security governance in Berlin, Stockholm, and Warsaw. The aim is to explain the continuing diffusion of video surveillance as a tool in urban security policy. Particular focus is attributed to local policymakers' understanding of goals and merits of video surveillance, and to the way that surveillance is legitimized. Results point towards a strong influence of privatization and commercialization of urban space in the diffusion of video surveillance. However, the degree in which citizens experience surveillance as threatening play a certain role as well, highlighting the crucial role of critical democratic citizenship.

Dear E-Diary,
I credit my mother with my being an atheist, which is funny, because she's the only Christian in the house. The reason? She has good taste.
Mom always taught me to be wary of those solicitous Christians everywhere who try to get you to come to their church or buy their cheap tawdry merchandise or join their Ponzi-Scheme-cults. She hated hated hated bad taste, and it's not a coincidence that most of the bad taste we saw came out of "Christian aesthetics," Including what she called "Jesus is my boyfriend music," velvet paintings, light-up artifacts, and Helen Steiner-Rice greeting cards. She knew good poetry, art and music, and we saw very little of it that was Christian that came from after the nineteenth century. Our reference point? "The Praying Hands." Albrecht Duhrer's "The Praying Hands" was everywhere in the 1970's: painted on velvet , hovering like "Thing" over the dining-room table, brass bookends, or 30 feet tall in a park.
Christians: where the hell did you go wrong? What happened to the Michelangelos, the Handels, the Bachs, the Dantes? Is it the idea that anything that comes out of your "creativity" is wonderful because it's for Jesus? Are you all just congratulating yourselves on your piety? Is it because your culture forbids you to criticize anyone's work if it's about your white skinny bearded sandaled one? Because if you allowed criticism again, maybe you'd weed out the horrid crap that your culture is insinuating on the world. Doesn't your God deserve better from you?
Well, maybe it doesn't. Carry on.
Thanks for listening, e-diary.

Bat For Lashes' Natasha Khan and producer Jon Hopkins have teamed up for a new single called 'Garden's Heart'.
The track is taken from the soundtrack to forthcoming British film [i]How I Live Now[i], which is directed by directed by The Last King Of Scotland's Kevin Macdonald. The song will be released on digital download on October 7 – two days after the film opens in cinemas.
Khan made her directorial debut with the video starring The Lovely Bones actress Saoirse Ronan, who also appears in [i]How I Live Now[i]. Watch it above.
Hopkins and Khan wrote and recorded 'Garden's Heart' during a two-day stint at Hopkins' studio in Bow, east London earlier this year (2013) after Macdonald was keen for the pair to collaborate on a track for the film. Hopkins also scored the film and the soundtrack, which includes tracks by Daughter, Nick Drake, Fairport Converntion and Amanda Palmer. The full soundtrack will be released in November.
Hopkins isn't the only artist Khan has teamed up with this summer. Last month (July) she released a joint single with Toy called 'The Bride'.

Capital works as a cushion against losses and provides protection for members when a credit union is struggling financially. Therefore, an institution's level of capital is a valuable measurement of its financial strength. From a safety and soundness perspective, more capital is better.
CHESWICK ATOMIC DIVISION scored above the national average of 15.65 points on our test to measure capital adequacy, achieving a score of 30 out of a possible 30 points.
CHESWICK ATOMIC DIVISION appears to be on more solid financial footing than its peers, with a capitalization ratio of 30.00 percent in our test, above the average for all credit unions.
This test is intended to estimate how the credit union's reserves set aside to cover loan losses, as well as overall capitalization could be affected by problem assets, such as past-due mortgages.
Having lots of these types of assets could eventually force a credit union to use capital to absorb losses, reducing its equity cushion. It also means that there are likely to be many assets that are in non-accrual status and no longer earning money, resulting in depressed earnings and potentially more risk of a future failure.
On Bankrate's test of asset quality, CHESWICK ATOMIC DIVISION scored 40 out of a possible 40 points, beating out the national average of 38.09 points.
A credit union's earnings performance affects its safety and soundness. A credit union can retain its earnings, increasing its capital cushion, or put them to work addressing problematic loans, potentially making the credit union better able to withstand economic shocks. Losses, on the other hand, take away from a credit union's ability to do those things.
CHESWICK ATOMIC DIVISION scored 2 out of a possible 30 on Bankrate's earnings test, falling short of the national average of 10.11.
CHESWICK ATOMIC DIVISION had an earnings ratio of 0.00 percent in our test, above the average for all credit unions, a sign that it's beating its peers in this area.
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.

Every orphan undergoes vocational training in one of the following disciplines,
- Sewing
- Electrical Wiring
The children start their vocational training on reaching the seventh year of secular education. The training courses are compulsory and are held during the weekends.
Students who fail to obtain the required passes at the year 11 public examination to follow secondary education are given an intensive training course for 6 months and thereafter found suitable employment. Students, who complete their secondary education but fail to obtain university entrance, are provided with a 6-month intensive training programme and thereafter a further year's training and found suitable employment. The Madrasa students too follow vocational training programmes.
The Makola Muslim Orphanage does not cater only to the physical well being of the orphans. One of the cherished desires of its founders and its primary objects has been the spiritual and academic well being of the orphans. This, they believed was paramount in moulding the children to be citizens with sound religious, technical and cultural training. In keeping with these beliefs every child at the orphanage is provided with some form of education.
Each child has a busy daily schedule, which includes all the daily prayers

I do reserve full judgement, however, until I see a pix of the bartender. If "would" is a possibility, then I may rethink my position on the matter. Instead, I may want to decorate her.I think everyone in this thread is on the side of the thrower.

International Finance Corporation (IFC) is planning to invest $1 million (Rs 5.3 crore) in a Mumbai-based solar energy firm Flareum Solar Technologies Pvt Ltd. The investment is being routed through a special purpose vehicle (SPV) set up by Zephyr Peacock India Fund for its existing investment in Flareum.
PE firm Zephyr Peacock had invested around Rs 50 crore to pick a significant minority stake in Flareum Technologies (formerly known as Ltd.) few months ago (more on that here).
The solar energy company promoted by Badal Shah, Shirin Gandhi and Deepak Gadhia, provides energy solutions by using parabolic concentrated technology. Shah is the majority shareholder.The company provides products and services in the solar thermal space used in cooking and cooling applications. Mumbai-based Flareum has R&D and manufacturing facilities in Valsad, Gujarat.
Flareum will use the funds raised from IFC for capital expenditure plans and to meet working capital requirements as well as for boosting the sales and engineering teams.
IFC, which has committed over $200 million through a mix of equity and debt investments in India over the past one week and has been one of the more prolific private institutional investors in the country, already has an indirect exposure in Flareum through Zephyr Peacock's existing PE funds. The private sector investment arm of the World Bank hadcommitted capital in Zephyr Peacock India Fund II (which is an investor in Flareum) and has also come in an as an anchor investor in the new fund Zephyr Peacock India Fund II.

This excursion was wonderful. Our young guide took us through beautiful countryside and we ended at his family farm where his delightful parents showed us their property and then served us a wonderful farm to table meal. it was so much fun. The homemade wine flowed freely and a great time was had by all! If you are a wine snob and looking for a traditional winery tasting experience you probably won't enjoy this excursion but if you are looking for a traditional Montenegrin experience you will love it. it immerses you in the culture of the country

This was the best tour of our 15 day cruise! Vlad picked us up at the port and drove us up the coast. My husband & I were in complete awe of the beauty surrounding us We climbed up the mountains of Kotor with the car and again the beauty took our breath away. When we arrived at the Villa overlooking the vineyards we were met by two of the nicest people. There was an amazing spread of cheese, prosciutto, gibanita, the tastiest stew we've ever had!! The wine was flowing, the views were spectacular and the company was amazing. Afterwards (and by the way we did not want to leave this magical place) Vlad drove us down the coast and we stopped in a small town for Turkish coffee. He then drove us down the coast towards Budva - stunning coastal city! I cannot say enough good things about this tour and especially our incredible guide Vlad! We felt as if we were amongst family. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area & had a wonderful sense of humor. Loved this excursion and our guide!
Reviewer: SuzanneForrest
Words cannot describe how awesome this tour was. Zoran our guide picked us up just outside Kotors Old City walls. There were 6 of us so the tour was just for us. The scenic drive on the way to the farm house was out of this world. Zoran stopped along the way for plenty of photo opportunities. When we arrived at the farm house we were greeted by the most beautiful family. A table was set under the trees and we were made so welcome. We were served with home-made dishes from produce grown on the Farm. One of the highlights was the red wine and liquors that our host Paule had produced himself. Paules wife, son and daughter in- law made this one of the most memorable days of our holiday. We would highly recommend this tour.

Mother's Day & Father's Day Shirts – Dad, Mom Shirts – Best Dad Ever Shirt
Being a father has been, without a doubt, my greatest source of achievement, pride and inspiration. Fatherhood has taught me about unconditional love, reinforced the importance of giving back and taught me how to be a better person – Fathers Day Shirts
I mean, I look at my dad. He was twenty when he started having a family, and he was always the coolest dad. He did everything for his kids, and he never made us feel like he was pressured. I know that it must be a great feeling to be a guy like that.
Mothers play an important role as the heart of the home, but this in no way lessens the equally important role fathers should play, as head of the home, in nurturing, training, and loving their children.

I am trying to root some cuttings indoors. I have read everywhere that cuttings need "bright, indirect sunlight." I was wondering if it is necessary to provide some kind of supplemental lighting (i.e. from a grow light system) to provide this type of light. If so, what kind of supplemental lighting would be best for cuttings (i.e. metal halide, HPS, fluorescent, etc.)? Also, with regard to growing media, some sites recommend Styrofoam plugs, rockwool, etc. Will using these types of supports help at all with the success rate of rooting the cuttings? Or will a vermiculite/perlite mix work just as well?
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
A florescent light bulb set just a few inches from the cuttings will help to provide supplemental light. Here is more info: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/hpgen/fluorescent-lighting-for-indoor-gardening.htm
