On a quiet street in the 9th arrondissement, close to Olympia music hall and Le Louvre
The Hotel du Triangle d'Or in Paris is right near the Olympia music hall in the heart of the quarter of art and music (thus, the music theme in the hotel's decor). It's on a quiet street, but there are a few sex shops in the neighborhood that may make some guests uncomfortable -- though it is a safe area and not seedy at all. Guests can easily reach the Garnier Opera Theatre, the Champs Elysées, Place Vendôme, and Printemps department stores on Boulevard Haussmann. Also within walking distance is Fauchon -- one of the best food stores in Paris and a great spot to purchase souvenirs. To access other areas of Paris, the hotel is close to Madeleine and Opera metro stations.
This boutique hotel draws music lovers seeking a good value in a central location. The rooms are colorful and music-themed, with record albums used as art, and guitar paintings hung on the walls. The hotel is aptly located next to the Olympia music hall in the 9th arrondissement, making it a great spot to crash after attending a performance. The funky yellow hands adorning the entrance doors will alert guests that this is no ordinary hotel, and small touches will continue to surprise within. Near the front desk there is a multimedia area with headphones where guests can listen to CDs, and rooms have high-tech audio equipment and iPod docks. The communal areas are fun to wander -- check out the carpets decorated with stars, the sequined elevator, and silhouettes on the walls. The hotel serves breakfast for a fee, and has an area for drinks and snacks, but no real restaurant for meals. There is, however, a spa offering Turkish baths and massages.

The more information that comes out about accused cop-killer Maurice Clemmons, the more it feels as if the Sunday's tragic murder of four Lakewood officers was preventable. Now, added to that mountain of missed opportunities, comes news of the disturbing things Clemmons told a pair of Western State psychologists on October 19th.
Western State psychologists determined Clemmons was dangerous, but not crazy.
According to unsealed documents obtained by the Tacoma News-Tribune, Clemmons told the two shrinks that he hallucinated about "people drinking blood and people eating babies, and lawless on the street, like people were cannibals." So how could they claim "insufficient grounds" to commit him?Well, for one, Clemmons' baby-eating quotes aren't fully in context. The shrinks visited him in his Pierce County jail cell as part of a court-ordered evaluation to determine if he was competent enough to stand trial on charges of assault and child rape. But this AP report doesn't mention that Clemmons' self-reported hallucinations occurred at the time of his arrest, five months before the evaluation. A time when he also claimed to be kin with Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama and Lebron James and referred to himself as "the beast."
For another, according to Kris Flowers, spokesperson for Western State, the psychologists were there to determine if Clemmons was presently sane. The job of figuring out if he'd gone crazy back in May wouldn't come until two weeks later, when a Pierce County judge ordered a follow-up evaluation to determine if Clemmons had committed the crimes under (technical term alert) "diminished capacity."
When a suspect's sanity is questioned it triggers a long, methodical process. The Western State psychologists didn't drop the ball. It's just that in the midst of doing their due diligence and trying to come up with an answer, Clemmons provided one of his own.

On the 15th of November of last year an Aer Lingus Airbus A330-300 touched down on the tarmac of Dublin airport with 160 Syrian nationals. Largely unannounced the refugees were shepherded off the plane by officials wearing UN lanyards and whisked away to a North Dublin location before dispersal to reception locations in Roscommon and Waterford.
The operation, conducted with minimal fanfare, occurred as part of the Irish Refugee Protection Programme (IRPP). The IRPP is the Irish State’s response to human displacement from the Middle East and Africa, which commenced with Irish officials travelling to Beirut to interview potential applicants in March 2020.
The flight itself was chartered by the UN-funded International Organisation For Migration (IOM), a key but quiet figure in the asylum industry since its arrival on our shores in 2001, helping to organise transportation for refugees into Ireland, including the provision of travel documents.
Overall, 2020 and the covid phenomenon threw a wrench in the works for asylum processing, with a 67.3% nosedive drop in applications for international protection at just over 1500 from 2019. An interesting feature in comparison between 2019 and 2020 figures is the erasure of Georgian and Albanian nationals who had dominated asylum numbers since 2016. A Europe-wide phenomenon of fraudulent applications, even the Irish State was warned by Georgian diplomats not to allow what were very clearly bogus applicants from the former Soviet State to overload the system.
What should also be highlighted is that attempts to clean up the asylum process by clamping down on fraudulent asylum seekers from Georgia were frustrated almost at every turn by the nation’s well-oiled open borders lobby, both in print and in the courtrooms.
In August of last year the Department of Justice earmarked €770,000 for the creation of several Regional Support Organisations (RSOs), to assist the acceptance of the 4,000 Syrian refugees by 2023, which the Irish State has promised to take as part of its humanitarian commitment to the Syrian crisis. As part of this in 2019 it was announced that the State was to accept just shy of 3,000 Syrians and 150 Eriterians to complement the 1,000 already in the country, with €9 million provided by the European Commission being set aside to facilitate the process.
Under a Freedom of Information Request, The Burkean attempted to ascertain the individuals lobbying the Department of Justice for contracts as part of the Asylum Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) for RSO centres and other projects. The reply given was a heavily redacted document, free from any meaningful details with the excuse of confidentiality given. Suffice to say this decision will be appealed.
We did however learn in our request that the UN-backed International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) have both applied for funding under the scheme. Both the IOM and GNIB have also availed of €1.3 and €2.2 million respectively under the scheme since 2017.
At a state-level the asylum system is a byzantine maze of interdepartmental organisations and various third-party NGOs. However the general roadmap for the next year of refugee acceptance from Syria looks as follows:
It should be remembered that the actual percentage of those that apply for international protection from Syria (or conflict zones for that matter) is in the 20% region with the bulk of applications for asylum arising from safe nations, eg. Nigeria, Albania, South Africa, Georgia, etc.
Presently and according to departmental documents seen by The Burkean, the Department of Justice is consulting a variety of stakeholders ranging from county councils, to the HSE, to the European Asylum Support Office, about furnishing the new arrivals with the proper ‘own door’ accommodation, primarily in the form of public housing.
The issue of the provision of housing for refugees amid a critical housing shortage has become rather contentious as of late, even in Irish officialdom, with the Department of Housing warning in November about the risks of the ‘own door’ proposal for all asylum seekers having knock on effects in the general housing market.
Emergency Reception and Orientation Centres (EROCs) are one of the first ports of call for newly arrived Syrian asylum seekers entering Ireland, with 525 persons housed across 3 centres. While they are supposed to be stopgap measures while applications are processed, there are plans underway to expand the number of EROC places. Generally speaking the procedure is to send Syrians to EROCs before they are processed, and then be sent to new living arrangements.
The Burkean can reveal that the Department of Justice is in negotiation with the Department of Housing as well as the County and City Managers Association for the allocation of housing for new arrivals over the next three years. As of February this year, there are 240 Syrians waiting in EROC centres set to be sent to 19 various locations across 7 counties.
With 4,000 Syrians promised overall as part of the State’s humanitarian commitment, the acceptance programme in response to the conflict is perhaps a minor part of Ireland’s out of control migration and asylum outlook. One only has to grasp the sheer scale of PPS numbers being issued annually to non-nationals (normally in the region of 70,000 to 120,000 per annum) to fathom just how fast the demographic plates are shifting below our very feet.
Nonetheless, Syria and the Syrian people deserve our utmost sympathy due to the cynical attempts by foreign powers to pursue an internecine war against the Assad Government. However this should not blunt any concern toward attempts to use refugee flows as a tool of social engineering in Western nations to artificially boost population numbers. A refugee programme should be for temporary protection, not permanent resettlement. It should occur in nearby safe countries, such as Israel or Saudi Arabia, not in the remotest parts of county Roscommon. Once the war is declared over, those refugees under protection should be obliged to return and rebuild their home country, and be given financial assistance in order to do so.
The relative paucity of Syrian refugees heading to Ireland should not diminish the need for a proper and responsible opposition against such measures, as they are wholly inefficient and against the best interests of this country. After a brief covid hiatus, the asylum industry looks set to roar on, gobbling up resources at the behest of the international and national clique of NGOs who direct migration policy, regardless of whichever political faction is dominant in the Dáil.

Hi, I'm james and am (obviously) new here.
Just got my first pup after wanting a dog for 10 years and wanting a pittie for 3.
We've had him home for two days, and aside from the crying and the chewing of EVERYTHING (Even metal legs on chairs....) he is a lovely dog.
Heaps of character, and very smart.
Just attaching a few pics for you.

Fewer than 50,000 births were registered, along with an all-time low of marriages at just over 26,000.
Scotland’s population was however at a record high at 5.46 million. Deaths have outnumbered births in Scotland for the last five years, meaning that the recent population increase is due to immigration.
Population growth is mainly centred on urban areas, with Edinburgh and Midlothian up by 13 percent in the decade to 2019 and Glasgow and East Lothian up by nine percent.
Inverclyde, Argyll and Bute and Na h-Eileanan Siar saw the greatest population decline.
The Scottish population is ageing, with 42,000 fewer people under the age of 20 than there were in 2009, and 174,000 more people over 65.
Life expectancy, which had been improving for several decades, has now stalled over the last five years at around 77 years for men and 81 years for women.
NRS has worked with health organisations to examine why life expectancy has stopped increasing. It pinpointed a slowdown in improvements in deaths from heart disease, an increase in drug-related deaths in those aged 35-54 and in the over 70s dying from dementia.
Life expectancy in Scotland remains the lowest in Western Europe.
It is lowest in Glasgow, at 78.5 for women and 73.6 for men.
Life expectancy is now decreasing in several council areas, including Inverclyde, South Ayrshire and Dundee.
About one in five people in Scotland live alone, according to projections based on 2018 data, with single-person households making up more than a third of the country’s households.
Older people are more likely to fall into this group, with nearly one in two women and one in four men over 70 living alone.
The number of people living alone has grown dramatically in recent years, with 69 percent more women living alone and more than triple the number of men living alone in 2019 than in 1981.

“We are continuing to work at all levels and on different tracks to ensure their liberation as soon as possible,” Swedish state secretary for foreign affairs, Frank Belfrage, told the TT news agency, adding that the tracks included contacts with the United States and the European Union.
Reporter Martin Schibbye and photographer Johan Persson were arrested in Ethiopia’s Ogaden region on July 1 in the company of rebels from the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) after entering Ethiopia from Somalia.
“We of course consider this sentence to be extremely serious,” Belfrage said Tuesday, reiterating Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt’s position that Schibbye and Persson were in Ethiopia on “a journalistic mission.”
An Addis Ababa court on Tuesday sentenced the pair to 11 years behind bars after they were found guilty last week of “supporting terrorism.”
Johan’s father, Kjell Persson, told AFP on the phone from Sweden that the trial had been difficult on the family.
“It was a tough time for us, but we met Johan four or five times and he’s taken it well, it’s good for us to see that,” he said.
“Last Friday we met and they were in good shape, they said what happened on Wednesday was no surprise.”
A small group of demonstrators gathered outside the Ethiopian diplomatic mission in Stockholm on Tuesday morning to protest the verdict.
Meanwhile, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton voiced “serious concern” on Tuesday over the journalists’ sentences.
Ashton “notes with serious concern the judgment and sentencing of the two Swedish journalists Martin Schibbye and Johan Persson under the Ethiopian Anti-Terrorism Proclamation,” her office said in a statement.
“Their sentencing on terrorism related charges raises concerns about the freedom of media and expression in Ethiopia,” Ashton’s office said, noting that the two were conducting research as journalists.
“While recognising the Ethiopian judicial process, we hope that the two journalists can be released as soon as possible,” it said.
“The EU will continue to closely monitor this case and will continue our dialogue with the Ethiopian Government on press freedom and human rights.”
Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt, who has come under fire for not doing enough to help the pair, was on holiday and only briefly commented on his official Twitter feed by hailing EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton’s condemnation of the sentence.
“Good EU statement on sentencing of two Swedish journalists in Ethiopia. We wanted the voice of EU to be heard today,” he wrote late Tuesday afternoon.
Swedish media revealed in September the pair was in the remote southeastern region of Ogaden, populated mainly by ethnic Somalis, to investigate the activities of a company affiliated to the Swedish oil firm Lundin Petroleum, which counted Bildt as a board member from 2000 until 2006 when he was appointed foreign minister.
The Swedish Union of Journalists condemned the jail term and called on Sweden to intervene.
“It is obvious that this is a political sentence,” the union’s president Jonas Nordling said in a statement.
“Now the Swedish government has the heavy responsibility of resolving this at the political level,” he added.
“The government must show that Sweden is doing everything possible to support and defend freedom of the press.”
Both journalists had admitted contact with the ONLF and to entering Ethiopia illegally, but rejected terrorism charges, which included accusations that they had received weapons training.
Persson said their meeting the ONLF contacts had been for professional reasons only, as part of an investigation into the activities of Swedish oil company Lundin Oil.
The ONLF has been fighting for independence of the remote southeastern Ogaden region since 1984, claiming they have been marginalised from Addis Ababa.

Meghan Markle has provided the media with the first glimpse of her daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor in a birthday video. The camera moves towards a never-before-seen family photo on the celebrity’s desk at her California mansion in a swift blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment. The frames also have a picture of the cute baby with her father, Prince Harry- which has been confirmed by Page Six magazine.
Meghan Markle’s Has Celebrated A Very Low-Key Birthday
The birthday video of Meghan Markel shows a large picture with the red-headed son of the couple, Archie- who is now 2 years old and is a dead ringer for Harry. The video also pans to three framed smaller black-and-white photos of the family in the front. The center picture shows the Prince kissing Lili, who hasn’t been seen by the media ever since she was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital back in June.
One of the pictures is yet another family show, while the third shows Markle snuggling with her son. Archie hasn’t been in the news either, especially since the couple split with the royal family the previous year. The most recent picture of Archie was released to celebrate his second birthday in May.
Meghan Markle’s 40th birthday has always been filled with Easter eggs. The celebrity’s laptop has been propped up on a book that her kids read- The Bench, while the celeb has been wearing necklaces from Logan Hollowell, one of the designers in Los Angeles. The necklace has a Taurus constellation in honor of her son’s birthday- the 6th of May- and a Gemini for her daughter’s birthday- the 4th of June, 2021.
Meghan Markle had always planned to enjoy a very low-key day for her birthday. She has launched a 40×40, a global initiative that would encourage people all over to commit at least 40 minutes of their time to support those women who are going back to work.


Operation and performance of the ATLAS semiconductor tracker in LHC Run 2
The semiconductor tracker (SCT) is one of the tracking systems for charged particles in the ATLAS detector. It consists of 4088 silicon strip sensor modules. During Run 2 (2015-2018) the Large Hadron Collider delivered an integrated luminosity of 156 fb−1 to the ATLAS experiment at a centre-of-mass proton-proton collision energy of 13 TeV. The instantaneous luminosity and pile-up conditions were far in excess of those assumed in the original design of the SCT detector. Due to improvements to the data acquisition system, the SCT operated stably throughout Run 2. It was available for 99.9% of the integrated luminosity and achieved a data-quality efficiency of 99.85%. Detailed studies have been made of the leakage current in SCT modules and the evolution of the full depletion voltage, which are used to study the impact of radiation damage to the modules.

Athiya Shetty, the daughter of actor Suniel Shetty, married her longtime lover, cricket player KL Rahul, on Monday. The ceremony was held at the Khandala farmhouse that belongs to Suniel. However, a few days after the wedding, the internet was flooded with tales about the wedding presents the couple had received. The actor from Hera Pheri has now called the rumors “baseless.”
The newlyweds reportedly received an apartment, high-end automobiles, and jewellery as wedding presents. Suniel’s representative shot off the rumours when contacted by indianexpress.com.
“There is no truth to any of the stories that have been written about the gifts. We ask the press to check with us before putting out the wrong information.”
Preparations for the wedding of Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul started on Saturday. The sangeet ceremony and cocktail party was held on a Sunday evening, and invited guests included immediate and extended family members. Suniel Shetty spoke to the press on Monday after the wedding.
The actor said that when the IPL season ends on June 1, they would be throwing a wedding celebration for Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul.
Suniel said that he was very happy about the wedding. “It was lovely. It was very small, and only very close family members were there (everything went well). Shaadi hogayi hai, father-in-law ban gaya hu officially. I’m a father, and I don’t want to deal with my in-laws’ problems. I’m a great parent, and I want to be one,” he said.

Innolign Biomedical has developed a novel microtissue system for assessing potential drug cardiotoxicities using technologies that allow for the creation of miniaturized human tissue constructs and the measurement their biomechanical activity. The goal of this Phase I SBIR proposal is to establish the feasibility of using these microfabricated arrays of engineered 3D human cardiac microtissues, termed CardioMicroTug, in a novel, high-throughput format for assessing cardiotoxicity of drugs. Cardiac toxicity represents a significant pharmaco-economic problem in the development of new drugs and biopharmaceuticals in part because current toxicological studies fail to fully predict potential cardiac safety issues during the drug development process. Recent advances in tissue engineering suggest that engineered human cardiac tissue ex vivo could be used as a safety assessment platform for candidate drug compounds. CardioMicroTug features aligned cardiac microtissues anchored to microfabricated cantilevers. These cantilevers report forces generated by the cardiac microtissues in real time, thereby providing a direct readout of human cardiac biomechanical function. The goals of Aim 1 are to demonstrate consistent and reproducible physiologically relevant biomechanical responses in engineered cardiac microtissues. Studies in Aim 2 will evaluate the capability of CardioMicroTug to predict changes in contractility when treated with a panel of known cardiac modulators. These studies will set the stage for further commercial development of CardioMicroTug as a high-throughput in vitro 3D cardiac microtissue assay system for assessing cardiotoxicities of pharmaceutical compounds.
Cardiac toxicity is the leading cause of attrition of drugs in all stages of development, placing a significant economic and performance burden on the pharmaceutical industry. This project is a feasibility study of a new in vitro system that can measure the safety profile of candidate drugs during early stages of pharmaceutical research and development, thereby improving safety while lowering costs to development of new drugs.

Redone, using the 'Ten inventory slots' mod as a base. The bots will no longer be confused. Some weapon changes made too. See changelog (click the three pages icon in the top-right) for details. Note that this is mostly based on my 'Sableagle's gun mods, low-powered version,' which I find makes the guns more effective if used properly but harder to use properly, with the wood-furnished pump shotgun and SPAS-12 (black with folding stock) auto-shotgun firing slugs, not buckshot. If you want ten slots and infinite ammo with the standard-issue guns, use the 'ten inventory slots' and 'infinite ammo' mods linked.

History Part 1
Since late 1994, Jim Broustis has kept a rag tag band of rawk n roll renegades and copacetic cohorts together under the brand name SHOTWELL...
Originally, SHOTWELL was formed after Jim left STRAWMAN. (Look for their records on the Allied Records label run by graphic artist John Yates.) Shoot Me Up, is probably STRAWMAN's best known CD as well as their self titled debut release and a few disparate compilations and 7" singles (Jim's former partner in Strawman , Tommy Strange now plays and sings in Songs For Emma).
Aaron Cometbus stepped in occasionally to play drums with Strawman as they went through several drummers and bassists.
Jimmy clicked with Aaron and after Strawman's European tour, he came back and formed SHOTWELL COHO.
History Part 3
The revamped unit dropped the Coho from the name and toured the Northwest and California in the fall of 1996 and raised hell in disparate places like Portland, Manteca, Norco and LA.
Greg and Jimmy who had both played in Strawman together wrote some new songs but Steve was headed back home to Seattle.
By the spring of 1997 , they'd finished work on a new demo (again recorded with Aaron and Kevin Army) and edited together a short video movie called UNDERLAW at SF's Artist Television Access. They dubbed copies of the finished products to sell on tour and jointly bought a Leprechaun motorhome for the rigors of the road.
They decided to train their erstwhile film projectionist, roadie and Maximum Rock and Roll's resident book worm Pete Simonelli to play drums and also added Tony Rojas on second guitar ( formerly of J.C Hopkin's FLOPHOUSE).
That spring '97 tour covered a lot of miles and rambled through places too numerous to mention including New Mexico, Florida and New Orleans. Not to mention the great and endless state of Texas. The spacious Leprechaun guzzled gas and headed east and wound up in GA, VA, NY, ILL, etc.
Eventually, after a long and winding, oft stressful journey, the band settled down for a spell in Madison Wisconsin at the kremlin studios where they finished mixing and recording the Celery Beef and Iron album. Their pal Smitty of Madison's The Delmonicos helped record them.
Upon their return, fairly exhausted, broke and without much fanfare ... the band temporarily dissolved...
Greg and Tony formed a country/americana flavored group called Majority Whip while Jim decided to attempt to keep Shotwell going with other folks...

History Part 2
They found a cat named Paul from Olympia to play bass and set about learning a short set. Their first SF gig was opening for the So Cal bands SUBLIME , STRUNG OUT and Santa Rosa's ska faves CONSPIRACY at the SF underground cooperative KOMOTION space in December of '94.
They soon recorded a seven inch single for release on Broken Rekids with Kevin Army twiddling knobs and made a brief rambunctious Northwest tour.
Jim was very disappointed during '95 when an opening slot on the Jawbreaker Dear You tour was lost due to Paul's apathy. Aaron moved eastward and Jim made arrangements to keep his new band going.
Steve Moriarty of Seattle's Gits and Dancing French Liberals had wrapped up a tour with Evil Stig and agreed to do some shows. Jim acquired the services of Greg Snyder of the Bedlam Rovers to play bass

Who will win Godzilla vs Kong?
Godzilla and Kong both lost a round (tied), and then Godzilla lost to the mech. Kong saved Godzilla, defeating/destroying the mechagodzilla-Ghidorah-brain monster. Thus, if any monster won, it was Kong. Also, note that the base at his new home is just called King Base, if I remember correctly.
Does Kong beat Godzilla 2021?
Kong battles, Godzilla ultimately “wins.” Kong is full-on defeated, and would have died without some help. However, the film throws a twist in at the end, as Mechagodzilla arrives and starts beating up on Godzilla, who is already exhausted from his fight with Kong.
Who will win in Godzilla vs Kong 2021 spoilers?
Godzilla wins twice, the second time even after King Kong gets a giant, magical axe. King Kong gets a giant, magical axe?! Yeah. Its made of the giant plates of another Godzilla, and it can absorb the power of Godzillas fire breath, but, like I said, Godzilla wins.

Pauly D, whose real name is Paul DelVecchio, is the member of the 'Jersey… (CONTRIBUTED PHOTO )
A year after the finale of "Jersey Shore," the MTV reality series that became a cultural phenomenon, is it any wonder that Paul "DJ Pauly D" DelVecchio stands as the housemate with the brightest prospect for a future in show business?
After all, DelVecchio was a working disc jockey in his native Rhode Island before the show started in 2009. While on the show, he won the 2011 Teen Choice Award for Best Male Reality Star and was a nominee for DJ Times magazine's America's Best DJ.
He was the first "Jersey Shore" cast members to get a spinoff show, "The Pauly D Project," which revealed DelVecchio's transition from being a "Jersey Shore" housemate to becoming a "world-class" DJ who Forbes magazine says grossed $24 million in the past two years.
So while Snooki settles into motherhood and The Situation revives himself in rehab, DelVecchio will be one of the panelists on The E! Channel's "Sounding Off: The 2013 Year in Music" at 10 p.m. Friday.
On Tuesday, he headlines Sands Bethlehem Event Center's second annual New Year's Eve Party.
The Sands show starts at 8 p.m. with rapper Shwayze, whose 2008 self-titled debut disc hit the Top 10 and No. 3 on the rap charts, and electronic hip-hop group Hyper Crush. Kirill Was Here, described by MTV as "the most prominent nightlife photographer in America," will host.
"My show has tons and tons of energy," DelVecchio, 33, says in a recent email interview from the road between DJ gigs. "I really like to engage the crowd and wow them with my music and exclusive remixes and mash-ups they have never heard before. I like for them to have a memorable experience.
"I am really looking forward to my performance at Sands. I have heard a lot of great things about it and can't wait to experience it for myself. Being from the East Coast, all my friends and family are coming to party."
While DelVecchio has found success outside "Jersey Shore," the show clearly made him marketable.
The series, which followed eight housemates spending summer in a New Jersey shore house, burst onto MTV and into the public consciousness, drawing the channel's largest ratings ever. But it also drew criticism for its drunken portrayal of shore life, and stereotyping Italian Americans, including DelVecchio.
Asked what he learned from being on the show, DelVecchio says, "I learned how to control my OCD [obsessive-compulsive disorder]! Being neat in a house with seven other people was hard work."
But he says, "I'll definitely take my friendships from the show with me forever. The cast is still my family, I still love every single one of them." He says he has most contact with Vinny Guadagnino. He says he saw Guadagnino and Deena Cortese at a recent cancer charity in New York City.
Even before the reality show concluded, DelVecchio had parlayed his fame into his disc jockey career. In 2011, he was an opening act for Britney Spears on her Femme Fatale Tour.
"Touring with Britney was awesome," he says. "I've been playing her music for as long as I can remember, so to be able to have the opportunity to tour with her was incredible." He says a show in Montreal in which Spears gave him a simulated lap dance as part of her routine "was the best day of my life."
In 2011, he announced a three-album deal with rapper 50 Cent's G-Unit Records and G-Note Records. In January he released a single, "Back To Love," with vocals by rapper Jay Sean. DelVecchio tweeted that he was in the studio with Big Sean and would release an album in 2013.
DelVecchio now says that he hopes "to have a new song out shortly."
His "Pauly D Project" show was the first "Jersey Shore" spinoff, with Time magazine saying DelVecchio got the nod rather than Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi or Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino "because he genuinely seems fun and easy to get along with. He's not known for diva antics like The Situation and doesn't appear a drunken mess at times, like Nicole and Michael do."
But the show, which followed DelVecchio jet-setting around the country for DJ gigs, was short-lived, lasting just one season. No cancellation ever was announced, but DelVecchio says it won't be back.
" 'Pauly D Project' was awesome to shoot and to be able to show fans what it's like to be on the road," he says.
Since then, Snooki and Jennifer "JWoww" Farley have also gotten a spin-off reality series, "Snooki & JWoww," that will conclude its third season in January. Guadagnino also had a talk show, "The Show with Vinny," this summer.
DelVecchio says he has "a lot of different TV projects in the works and am excited to announce them soon." Like other members of "Jersey Shore," he has product endorsements — his own tanning lotion and "sunless products" with Devoted Creations, and is creating new products in a partnership in the Dirty Couture clothing line.
"There are new styles all the time," he says. "I also have my line of ready-to-drink pre-game cocktails, REMIX, and my line of headphones with SMS Audio."

“None of that here,” seems to be the message emanating from Big Bash League top executive Kim McConnie.
She was referring to the calls for the penalties levied by Cricket Australia against Steve Smith and David Warner to be reduced.
She ruled out any prospect of Smith and Warner being permitted to play in the 2018 – 2019 season beginning on November 4 and conclude in February of 2019.
Cricket Australia is also adamant in its stance that the penalties will not be reduced, despite the vociferous opinion of current and ex-players who felt that 12 months was an excessive ban.
“Both players have done a really good job and accepted the ruling from Cricket Australia and they won’t be appearing in the BBL this season,” McConnie told AAP. “I think every player who plays cricket, we love to think that they talk about the Big Bash and promote the tournament. But beyond being cricket players themselves that have a love of the format, there’ll be no formal relationship.”
Shane Watson was one of the players who thought the penalties were above and beyond the crime. His position is bolstered by the reality that with Smith and Warner missing, Australia’s cricketers have languished.
“The thing that just disappoints me about the whole situation is now Steve Smith and Dave Warner are over promoting other tournaments by playing in them,” Watson said, in reference to Smith and Warner’s appearance in the Canada Global T20 League. “I understand the rulings … but for them to have the opportunity to go and promote other tournaments, I’d prefer if they’re going to do that and have access to do that (that) they have access to promote the Big Bash, for example.”
McConnie went on to reiterate, saying that everyone should be focusing on the current league and players and stop the whinging about Smith and Warner.
From our perspective, this is not over, oh no, not by a sixer.

It’s hard to feel like infrastructure ideas are important when we’re still confronting poverty, violence, hunger, and blight – both here and around the world. Interestingly, infrastructure does collide with these issues when we look at the impact of sprawl.
So what are the implications of sprawl? It turns out, lack of connection to opportunity and restrictions to upward social mobility. In Harvard University’s study “The Equality of Opportunity”, the characteristics of areas with greater social mobility are outlined, with specific emphasis to areas of the US confronted with sprawl:
Is America the “Land of Opportunity”? In two recent studies, we find that: (1) Upward income mobility varies substantially within the U.S. [summary][paper] Areas with greater mobility tend to have five characteristics: less segregation, less income inequality, better schools, greater social capital, and more stable families. (2) Contrary to popular perception, economic mobility has not changed significantly over time; however, it is consistently lower in the U.S. than in most developed countries. [summary][paper]
According to Jonathan Rothwell of the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program, neighborhood could have as much to do with income potential as having a college degree or just a high school diploma. He cites Douglas Massey of Princeton’s Geographic Effects on Intergenerational Income Mobility in saying, “[The] effect of neighborhood income is 50 to 66 percent of the parental income effect, so that growing up in a poor neighborhood would wipe out much of the advantage of growing up in a wealthy household.” According to Rothwell, this equates to close to a million dollars of lifetime earnings difference for those raised in top quintile neighborhoods than for individuals from bottom quintile neighborhoods.
Social mobility restrictions are an example of contemporary dystopia (which is thrown around a lot these days, I know). In other words, US society may be philosophically attuned to the concept of the “land of opportunity”, but our policy and built environment decisions limit that considerably. In the case of sprawl, we’re talking about segregation of resources (the environmental justice issues Dr. Robert Bullard discusses in his book, Dumping in Dixie), social segregation (white flight), If a dystopian society is one that strives to be perfect, but in some important way is undesirable or frightening, then little by little, we will continue to see cataclysmic decline of our cities. Whether we are talking dehumanizing situations like lack of social mobility or environmental disasters, the impact to the system leans toward dystopia.
I think we mean well; I don’t think any one sets out to develop a bad plan. Let me give a personal example: A few years ago, I put together a fairly extensive “Energy Week” program aimed at connecting the community to energy efficiency concepts and money saving opportunities. I hosted several expos throughout the community in order to better engage people in their neighborhoods. $50-$100 rebates were offered for natural gas and electricity just for showing up. While I considered the week a success because we had such a variety of people attend, many people still turned away because they didn’t feel like the opportunities were for them.
While I understand that social mobility and dystopic implications are a many variable equation, especially when dealing with sprawl, suggestions to improve social mobility include several basic elements:
- Implement an urban growth boundary. This one should be given a thorough examination, by both County and City governments, to ensure the intent of the boundary is maintained. Not only does something like this limit further segregation and community stratification, it positively impacts land value (due to scarcity), and it protects green and agricultural lands as well.
- Direct public policies to address unfair intergenerational transmission mechanisms (such as race). This includes making neighborhoods more equitable by investing in public schools, investing in open spaces/physical environment improvements (in parks and other natural resources, infrastructure like sidewalks/ADA curb ramps and tree lawns, as well as cleaning up pollution or urban decay), as well as other public goods/resources.
- Evaluate infrastructure and expansion projects systemically. Fundamentally, this is avoiding the trappings of speculative urbanism, supporting actual market or demographic demands (not just political hubris or economic ambition). As in, yes, this may be a solution solving one problem, but what are the contextual impacts and does it create additional problems. For instance, strategic acquisition of property may add tax base, but it strains infrastructure and sprawl limits connectivity.
- It’s not enough to provide ideas like “Infrastructure for All”, we need to help all people understand that these ideas/opportunities raise up the entire community.

TAORO was the first Grand Hotel in Spain. Since its opening in 1890 and for more than 100 years, TAORO was the most representative icon of the city: members of european royal families like Duke of Windsor Edward VIII, King Alfonso XIII of Spain, Dukes of Kent and King Albert I of Belgium stopped over at the hotel. The famous novelist Agatha Christie also visited the TAORO in 1927 in her temporary withdrawal looking for a calm and safe place.
The personality of its architecture and its history are the most representative characteristics of TAORO, as it doesn’t takes much to build a hotel, but lot of years to set up a brand history.

Tenerife still grows year after year as a top tourism destination in Europe. On the island, Puerto de la Cruz is a destination that shines because of its own personality and presumes to be the pioneer on the touristic sector with more than 100 years of activity.
At the moment, it’s also reaping the benefits of an ambitious project of touristic renovation and repositioning called to be a reference in the sector: with 40% of hotel beds renewed or in the process of doing so, and probably the largest investment in public space made in recent years in Spain at a seaside holiday destination.

Texas authorities bust pot farm valued over $4 million
LIBERTY COUNTY, TX -- Federal authorities are hard at work, clearing what investigators are calling a historic bust of a marijuana-growing operation in our area. We're talking about tons of pot being grown in a sophisticated cultivation operation in Liberty County.
It all happened in a rural area off of County Road 2050. It's the biggest marijuana-growing operation uncovered so far in Liberty County.
Officials found several tons of locally grown marijuana worth about $4-6 million, they say. Liberty County Sheriff's deputies along with agents from ATF, DEA and ICE descended on the operation on Tuesday.
There were said to be three separate fields involved, covering more than 150 acres. The operation included an elaborate irrigation system and a series of guard posts around the property. Officials also say the area was booby-trapped against intruders.
While the exact cartel hasn't been identified, investigators are convinced this was a cartel asset.
"I think this is one of many set up around the state," said Louis Guthrie with the Liberty County Sheriff's Office. "It's an integral piece of cartel operations. This was a multi-million dollar operation coming in every year. You're looking at $4 to $6 million dollars worth of marijuana sitting right there. This is some of the highest quality of marijuana available."
About the only thing that wasn't found -- suspects. They were likely tipped off because of the helicopters flying overhead when the surveillance was taking place.
As for the marijuana, it will remain held as evidence in an undisclosed location.
While investigators have some persons of interest, no arrests have been made. Those suspects may be safer in the custody of law enforcement then with the cartel.

You can’t beat a classic tale of good versus evil and the enduring power of love. Set it to the strident and emotive music of Tchaikovsky and mix in 25 ice skaters that have plundered medals across the globe and you have a fantastic evening of entertainment. Rejoice, the Imperial Ice Stars are back in the Adan Martin Auditorium in Santa Cruz this time with La Bella Durmiente Sobre Hielo (Sleeping Beauty On Ice).
Be careful who you don’t invite to your party, they might get very miffed, such is the case with evil black fairy Carabosse. Overlooked for the celebrations of Princess Aurora’s birth she crashes the party and curses the baby to be poisoned on her 20th birthday. If you like your villain dark and hissable Caraboose is for you, Elena Pyatash weaves her threat through the show whether she is lurking and spinning above the stage from a flimsy harness or skating rings around Prince Desire and his hunting party. Vadim Yarkov is equally menacing as the shadow and sidekick of Carabosse.
The cavernous Sala Sinfonica in the Auditorium adds to the grandeur of the music and dance and the scenery, designed by Eamon D’Arcy, responsible for the 2000 Sydney Olympic opening ceremony, raises and lightens the mood perfectly. The ice is an epic in its own right, 15 kms of tubes, 14 tons of ice, and 140 hours to build.
There’s plenty for all the senses to enjoy; the costumes from Natella Abdulaeva, the black fragmented outfits of Carabosse and her gang have a nightmare quality while at the other extreme the simple flower garlands at the villagers” waltz, and the bright pastel shades of the King’s six fairies shine with goodness and light.
Princess Auhora ( Olga Sharutenko) and her guardian the Lilac Fairy ( Yulia Ashcheulova) add hope and innocence to the story with some dazzling skating ““ you will believe a princess can fly. The lighter moments in this dark tale come from the cheeky Vova Khodakivsky as Catalabutte the royal courts master of ceremonies, he relishes his busy and slightly disorganized character that ties a lot of the story together.
Artistic Director Tony Mercer ( above with skaters) from Salford, Manchester was a little disappointed at ticket sales in the previous tour leg in Las Palmas and in Tenerife. I certainly noticed a smaller first night crowd than for Swan Lake last year but looking out from the Auditorium steps, posters and banners competed for several big city events in these less than fairy tale times. Next week the company move on to perform The Nutcracker on Ice at the Royal Albert Hall but back in the Auditorium a frantic and powerful finale was a great way to end a regal performance.
Shows: Thurs 10 May 8.30 pm; Fri 11 May 6 pm & 9.30 pm; Sat 12 May 6 pm & 9.30 pm; Sun 13 May 5 pm & 9 pm
Tickets from 19 euros to 45 euros from: online booking and from Box Office 10 to 3 pm Friday, 10am to 2pm Sat, plus two hours pre show or call 902317327.

Jennifer Grey is known as the goody-two-shoes sister in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. But it turns out in real life, she can be a bit of a troublemaker. In a new interview, she admitted that she crashed a scene from the movie that she wasn’t supposed to appear in. Here’s what the actor said.
Jennifer Grey is one of the most recognizable faces in 80s cinema
The actor stood out in the 1980s with uniquely compelling beauty and those unforgettable natural curls.
As Frances “Baby” Houseman in the 1987 summer hit Dirty Dancing, she turned heads with passionate dancing skills. And opposite Patrick Swayze, the two virtually blew up the box office with their smoldering dance numbers.
It was her defining moment in cinema. Consequently, the role catapulted her to international fame.
But just a year prior in 1986, she made Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. She played Jeanie Bueller, the younger sister of goof-off Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick.) Per Insider, Grey was about 26 years old when she played the angry baby sister. Her rage toward her school-ditching brother drives much of the plot.
It’s difficult to imagine Jeanie Bueller breaking any rules because she’s so convincing as the straight-laced daughter of Tom (Lyman Ward) and Katie Bueller (Cindy Pickett.)
But according to Jennifer Grey, she most certainly did.
The ‘Dirty Dancing’ star crashed the parade scene on her day off
Per Yahoo! Entertainment, a September 2021 interview with the actor revealed a different side. “I’m not good with a lot of days off: I like to be in the middle of the action,” she laughed.
In short, she was bored. Therefore, she found a way to entertain herself.
The cast and crew were busy filming the huge and logistically complicated parade scene. Grey made her way to downtown Chicago and inserted herself into the action.
“I knew it was a huge crowd scene, so I dressed myself up in this weirdo outfit and put my hair in a beehive and went on the set as this autograph hound with little sour balls in my bag and an autograph book,” she told Yahoo!
Grey says the scheme worked a little too well.
“They had security following me and were like, ‘Who is this freak? Get her off the set!'” Grey said. “My goal was to get on camera as this other person.”
Grey admits that she didn’t make it to the final cut as her other persona. But she posted a photo of herself mid-stunt via social media.
“Don’t give me too much time to myself,” she joked.
Jennifer Grey shared details about working with director John Hughes
Grey said she loved the movie, pointing out that it was perfect for the era.
“I love that movie,” Grey told Yahoo! “It’s a smart, funny movie and it’s so ’80s. John Hughes was a genius, and the kind of improvisational freedom that he gave me when I worked with him meant I trusted him so much.” –
Grey is currently working as an executive producer on a reboot of Dirty Dancing.

As a small child screamed “Mommy!” and sprinted away from the Nittany Lion mascot, the audience of the men’s soccer game could feel the family atmosphere around Jeffrey Field.
On Sunday, more than 100 Soccer Shots children and about 10 Four Diamonds children were included in the Penn State’s men’s soccer game at Jeffrey Field to promote the fight against pediatric cancer.
Soccer Shots was started in 1998 in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Since then, it has become a national franchise aimed at the promotion of athletics in youth, mainly through soccer.
Head coach Bob Warmingsaid the game was “more than agreed to.” He said it was something he wanted to have happen.
In order to support the Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, Warming said he decided a while ago that if a game is going to be on TV, he would use that chance to spread the word of THON and its existence.
“Really, only the one thing Penn State does [best] is raise money for children with pediatric cancer,” Warming said.
Having met people from the Soccer Shots at Wegmans, Warming’s idea snowballed into the event that unfolded this past Sunday.
“All of us are so fortunate. We all have a responsibility,” Warming said as he listed multiple efforts that the team coordinates to raise money and awareness for THON.
Ranging from canning to a children’s FIFA tournament to a dancer in THON, Warming said he hopes the game added to his message to the players that helping people is essential.
“Not every kid has a good day,” Warming said, so he hoped with the game that “the kids just have a great day.”
Eric Wales, Penn State alumnus and Soccer Shots franchisee, is a local representative of Soccer Shots in Pennsylvania.
Wales decided to have the Soccer Shots children included in the Penn State soccer game in order to promote the relationship between the university’s athletics and the franchise.
Having multiple coaches who are Penn State students and involved in THON, Wales said he believes in the cause and hopes the event is a step toward the franchise’s effort of being involved in THON.
Based on “the high profile nature of Penn State athletics and what they stand for,” Wales said he decided partnering with the university is a step for the franchise and inspirational for the children to see what they can become.
Wales hopes that the children get “lots of smiles and a chance to meet and get to give a high five to the men’s team.”
