Stadium Club project will be auctioned off next week
The plans for the luxury condo and retail project fell apart and it now sits half-built on West University Avenue.
The abandoned, half-built shell once envisioned as the Stadium Club luxury condo and retail project across from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is up for sale at foreclosure auction Wednesday.
Vesta Equity LLC won a foreclosure judgment against the development's owners in circuit court Sept. 13.
The property is one of seven up for foreclosure auction at 11 a.m. Wednesday in the lobby of the Alachua County civil courthouse, 201 E. University Ave.
The project at 1802 W. University Ave. was to rise eight stories and include 24 luxury condominiums for wealthy Gator fans, along with first-floor retail space. With the shell of four stories complete, construction halted around Christmas 2007 after owners Philip and Sharon Stock of North Redington Beach stopped making payments on their $12.8 million mortgage. Their former attorney said at the time that part of the project's financing fell through but they were waiting for another loan to be approved.
The project had already been denied Community Redevelopment Agency funding after local developer Mike Warren of AMJ Inc. raised concerns with their application that they may have paid too much for the property and underestimated construction costs.
The Stocks, doing business as Stock Development #38 LLC, had paid $2.1 million for the former site of Papa John's, Sloppy Gator and Smoothie King.
Over the next two years, project manager Irwin Contracting filed a $2.9 million lien and a dozen subcontractors and suppliers filed nearly $1 million worth of liens on unpaid bills.
Vesta Equity, a lending company based in Sarasota, bought the remaining loan in February 2009 as part of a package from the failed First Priority Bank of Bradenton and started foreclosure proceedings the next month.
Last month's foreclosure judgment determined that Vesta is owed more than $2.6 million, including the remaining loan balance, interest, late fees, attorneys fees and a $200,000 payment to Irwin Contracting.
George Kruse, managing director of Vesta, would not say how much they might be willing to let the property go for at auction or who might show up to bid.
"Numerous people have inquired over the course of two years," he said.
"Hopefully, someone will buy the land. It would be nice to get something going on in that area."
Ron DeFilippo, owner of The Swamp Restaurant across the street, had expressed interest but said this week he didn't think the project could be revived.
"Condos just aren't selling, especially luxury condos for Bull Gators."
Beau Beery of AMJ Inc. said he didn't think it likely that anyone but Vesta would walk away with the property Wednesday.
He said Vesta contacted him for advice about the property and he told them office space doesn't work above retail because office users have security concerns and don't like restaurant smells.
Beery said he recommended student oriented quick-service retail on the first floor, such as shops for ice cream or yogurt, sandwiches, and copy services, with a one- or two-story bar and restaurant above.
However, the market is not back yet for residential on the top floors, he said.
He also said a developer may have to tear down the existing structure and start over.
"It's a great location. I think it will end up being a successful project. It will just have to change hands a couple times," Beery said.

University leaders have written to the University and College Union to formally outline their commitment to continuing to work with UCU to deliver long-term reform of the Universities Superannuation Scheme. The move comes as UCU members at 60 universities begin strike action in disputes over both pensions and pay.
A platform providing a single access point for businesses to university expertise and funding opportunities has been further developed by the National Centre for Universities and Business, Research England, and UK Research and Innovation, to help 'smart match' business and industry with higher education institutions, in a bid to boost R&D collaboration. Shivaun Meehan, Head of Communications at the NCUB, outlines the latest features of Konfer.
Eight out of 10 postgraduate students taking a taught course in the UK report continued satisfaction with the experience over a five-year period.But a survey of more than 70,000 postgraduates across 85 higher education institutions who responded to the Advance HE Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES) highlights for the first time areas where institutions could do better still to boost satisfaction levels.
The next government should adopt policies on graduate employment that reflect a less simplistic outlook than the current regime, argues Tristram Hooley, Chief Research Officer at the Institute of Student Employers, which has just published its manifesto wish list.
Eight out of 10 postgraduate students taking a taught course in the UK report continued satisfaction with the experience over a five-year period.
But a survey of more than 70,000 postgraduates across 85 higher education institutions who responded to the Advance HE Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES) highlights for the first time areas where institutions could do better still to boost satisfaction levels.
This year's PTES shows that an 82 per cent overall satisfaction among taught postgraduates has remained consistent since 2015, with just a 2 per cent dip in 2018. Last year’s PTES pointed to strike action at the time of completing the survey as a potential factor in this small decrease.
Institutions score highly for providing effective resources and information in 2019, remaining the same at 85 per cent over the past three to four years. Although areas needing significant improvement are few, Advance HE has provided new analysis in 2019 on suggestions for improvements so that providers can continue to meet the needs of postgraduate taught students.
Half of the 20,000 respondents suggested improvements on programme design and organisation, such as timetabling. More than a third (37 per cent) of respondents felt programme delivery, including the quality of lecturers and contact time, could be improved and 34 per cent said they would like to see better learning and project support.
The survey also shows that institutions face a challenge to increase the relatively low overall satisfaction reported by PGT students from Asian, Mixed and Other backgrounds. The results could provide the impetus for institutions to conduct further investigative work to understand how these groups feel their experience can be improved.
While a fifth of responding students said they had considered leaving their course, Advance HE says this compares favourably with similar data collected at undergraduate and postgraduate research level "and endorses the levels of support provided across the sector".
Alison Johns, Advance HE Chief Executive, said: “It is heartening to see evidence that the postgraduate taught experience is so positive, with strong support from students and institutions. This is a true endorsement of the sector’s commitment towards postgraduate taught provision.
“However, although the sector is doing a good job of meeting the needs of PGT students, I hope this year’s results, as well as institutions’ own data, can help to drive further enhancements in future PGT experience.”

Victor Mwamba drained a free throw with 0.7 seconds remaining, and Dublin Scioto escaped with a 53-52 overtime victory over visiting Worthington Kilbourne in an Ohio Capital Conference Cardinal Division game Friday night.
Mwamba, who paced the Irish (7-4, 3-2) with 12 points, made six of 10 free throw attempts and scored all six of Scioto’s points in OT. He was intentionally fouled on a drive to the basket as time was about to expire, and the Irish ran out the clock on the inbound pass.
Dapreis Owens added 11 points and 13 rebounds for Scioto. Zach Wilson paced Kilbourne (2-7, 1-4) with 16 points.
OLENTANGY ORANGE 66, OLENTANGY 65: Ryan Cutler’s free throw with 3.4 seconds remaining lifted Olentangy Orange (7-3, 3-1) to a win at Olentangy (4-4, 2-2) in the OCC Buckeye.

Derden helped the Stallions open a 38-21 halftime lead, thanks in part to a 21-7 second-quarter run. Cade Canter and Garrison Budd both scored 12 points to lead the Silver Knights, who rallied to cut the deficit to six points, but DeSales answered with a 17-8 fourth-quarter run to seal the win.
LOGAN ELM 57, HAMILTON TOWNSHIP 50: Logan Elm (5-5, 3-2) jumped out to an 18-9 first-quarter lead on the way to a Mid-State League Buckeye win at Hamilton Township (7-3, 4-1). Jason Sailor led Logan Elm with 17 points. Tyler Block had 18 for the Vikings.

|1. Washing by hand: Feather pillows can be washed by hand with a gentle detergent and a touch of white vinegar.|
|2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat, air dry, or sun dry. Always ensure the pillow is completely dry before use.|
|3. Avoid bleaching: Harsh chemicals can damage the feathers. Vinegar is a safer option.|
|4. Yearly washing: Washing feather pillows at least once a year helps maintain their freshness and comfort.|
Hello, it’s Lewis here from Dream HQ, your go-to bloke for all things sleep and bedding. Today, I’m rolling up my sleeves to delve into the world of feather pillows and how to keep them shipshape.
Feathers in your cap? More like feathers in your pillow. So, let’s dive right in!
Feather Pillow TLC: A Quick Overview
- Washing – Handle with care, like a first date. But less frequently.
- Daily Care – Keep it fluffed, like a good meringue.
- Storage – Cool, dry, and out of the sun, like your favourite ale.
Sounds like a doddle, right? Let’s dive a bit deeper.
1. Washing Your Feather Pillow
Emergency Only: Try to avoid washing them unless absolutely necessary, like when you’ve had a breakfast-in-bed mishap with your marmalade toast. For the general steps to wash a feather pillow, look below. If you’re not sure what’s safe for natural fibers, check out this article on pillow care.
|1. Load ’em Up||Pop the pillow into a front-loading washing machine. Don’t use detergent, it’s a no-no for this operation.|
|2. Gentle Cycle||Set the washer to ‘gentle cycle’ or ‘delicate.’ Like a waltz, not a mosh pit.|
|3. Dry It Out||Add it to the dryer on low heat, along with a bath towel for company. Run the dry cycle, then run it again. Yes, twice. We don’t want any damp feathers, now do we?|
Pro-tip: Check out this external guide for some more feather pillow washing wisdom.
2. Daily Feather Pillow Care
Feather pillows need fluffing. Daily. Like shaking out your slippers. You don’t want to sleep on a flat surface, do you? For those extra concerned about cleanliness, a pillow protector can be a great addition.
3. Feather Pillow Storage
Feather pillows aren’t vampires, but they do prefer cool, dry places away from direct sunlight. And please, don’t shove them in a plastic bag. You’ll end up with a sweaty, mouldy mess, and no one wants to sleep on that.
Keep in mind, it’s not just feather pillows that need special care. Whether it’s about dog-friendly pillows, electric blankets, or mattress preferences for side sleepers, we’ve got you covered at Dream HQ.
How to Wash a Feather Pillow by Hand
Can’t face the washing machine? No problem. Here’s the old-school way to get your feather pillows fresh and clean:
Preparation: Fill a tub or basin with cold water, enough to submerge the pillow. Add a capful of gentle detergent and a quarter cup of white vinegar for a nice, fresh smell.
Soaking: Let your pillow have a soak for 30 minutes to an hour. Like a relaxing bath, but for your pillow.
Rinsing: After a good soak, drain the water and give the pillow a thorough rinse. Press gently to remove excess water, but be kind – don’t wring it out.
Drying: Roll your pillow up in a clean towel like a Swiss roll to absorb any excess water, then let it air dry in a well-ventilated area or place it in the dryer on a low heat setting. Don’t forget to check that it’s completely dry before removing it from the dryer.
|1. Preparation||Fill a basin with cold water. Add a capful of gentle detergent and a quarter cup of white vinegar.|
|2. Soaking||Submerge the pillow in the water. Let it soak for 30 minutes to an hour.|
|3. Rinsing||Drain the water and rinse the pillow with cold water. Gently press to remove excess water.|
|4. Drying||Squeeze out any remaining water and lay the pillow flat on a clean towel. Hang it up to air dry or place it in the dryer on a low heat setting. Check that it’s completely dry before using.|
How to Dry Your Feather Pillow – The Safe Way
Here’s the lowdown on getting your feather pillow dry and ready for action again.
Post-Wash: Once you’ve washed your feather pillow, gently remove it from the washing machine. Don’t wring it out – you don’t want any injured feathers!
Pillow Fluffing: Here comes the fun part – give your pillow a good fluff! This helps distribute the feathers evenly and opens up the fibres for quicker drying.
Dryer Time: Tuck your pillow into the dryer, and set it on a low heat setting. This isn’t a roast dinner; we don’t want to cook it!
Towel Company: Add a clean, dry bath towel into the dryer. It’s not just there for moral support; it will help absorb moisture and speed up the drying process.
First Dry Cycle: Turn on the dryer and let the cycle run its course. Once it ends, resist the urge to take the pillow out. It’s not ready for bedtime yet!
Second Dry Cycle: Yes, you heard it right – we’re doing this again. Run a second dry cycle immediately. This ensures your pillow is as dry as a bone (or as a feather in this case).
The Final Check: After the second dry cycle, give your pillow a check. Make sure it’s completely dry before it leaves the dryer. No one likes a clammy pillow!
|1. Post-Wash||Remove pillow from the washing machine. Handle it gently to avoid damaging the feathers.|
|2. Pillow Fluffing||Give your pillow a good fluff. It helps distribute feathers evenly and makes drying faster.|
|3. Dryer Time||Put the pillow in the dryer on a low heat setting.|
|4. Towel Company||Add a clean, dry bath towel to the dryer to absorb moisture and speed up the process.|
|5. First Dry Cycle||Run a dry cycle and wait for it to finish.|
|6. Second Dry Cycle||Start a second dry cycle immediately after the first one ends.|
|7. The Final Check||Ensure the pillow is completely dry before removing it from the dryer.|
Can You Tumble Dry Feather Pillows?
In a word, yes. Tumble drying isn’t just allowed, it’s recommended! It helps your feather pillows maintain that cloud-like fluffiness that we all love. But remember, feathers are as sensitive as a sunburnt Brit on holiday, so keep the heat low or even off.
Here’s the drill:
Low Heat or No Heat: Set your tumble dryer to very low or no heat. We don’t want roast feathers.
Fluffing Aids: Add a few tennis balls or wool dryer balls into the dryer. They’re not just for Wimbledon. They’ll help your pillows fluff up nicely.
Dryness Check: Make sure your pillows are as dry as a perfect Martini before you remove them from the dryer. We don’t want any hidden damp patches!
|1. Heat Setting||Set the tumble dryer to very low or no heat. We’re drying, not cooking!|
|2. Fluffing Aids||Add a few tennis balls or wool dryer balls into the dryer. They’re not just for sports; they’ll help fluff your pillows.|
|3. Dryness Check||Check your pillows are completely dry before removing them from the dryer. Dampness is a no-no.|
How to Dry a Feather Pillow Without a Dryer
It’s a cinch! There are a few ways to dry your feather pillows without resorting to a tumble dryer.
Air Drying: The old-fashioned way. Lay your damp pillow on a clothesline or a flat surface in a well-ventilated area. Let the fresh air do its thing! Just remember to flip your pillow every now and again for even drying.
Sun Drying: A bit of natural heat can work wonders. The sun is not only good for topping up your tan, but it’s also a great natural disinfectant. However, be aware that too much sun can make your pillow cover fade. Rotate it periodically.
Indoor Drying: If you’re short on outdoor space or the weather is as miserable as a wet weekend in Wigan, you can dry your pillow indoors. Use a fan or a dehumidifier to speed up the process.
|1. Air Drying||Lay the pillow on a flat surface or hang it on a clothesline in a well-ventilated area. Flip it periodically for even drying.|
|2. Sun Drying||Place the pillow in direct sunlight. The sun acts as a natural disinfectant. Rotate the pillow to avoid fading the cover.|
|3. Indoor Drying||Dry the pillow indoors using a fan or a dehumidifier to speed up the process.|
How Long Should You Tumble Dry a Feather Pillow?
Tumble drying isn’t a race. It’s all about giving your pillow enough time to dry thoroughly.
Tumble Drying: On a low heat setting, 15-20 minutes should do the trick. But remember to check the pillows to make sure they’re completely dry before you let them escape from the dryer.
Air Drying: If you’re air drying, you’ll need to account for the fickleness of British weather. It might take a few hours to dry completely, or if you’re in Manchester, possibly a few days!
Sun Drying: If you’re lucky enough to have a sunny day, make the most of it. Sun drying can be quicker than air drying, but remember to keep an eye on your pillow to prevent any fading.
|Method||Estimated Drying Time|
|1. Tumble Drying||15-20 minutes on low heat. Always check that the pillows are completely dry before removing them from the dryer.|
|2. Air Drying||Depending on the weather, it can take a few hours. Remember, patience is key!|
|3. Sun Drying||Quicker than air drying, but don’t let your pillow get sunburnt! Rotate periodically to prevent fading.|
Why does my feather pillow smell after washing?
That’s likely due to moisture. If the pillow isn’t completely dry, it can develop a musty smell. Always ensure your pillow is bone dry before use.
Can I bleach feather pillows?
No, avoid bleach! It’s harsh and can damage the feathers. Instead, opt for a gentle detergent and some white vinegar for a fresh and clean finish.
Can I wash feather pillows with vinegar?
Yes, absolutely! A quarter cup of white vinegar in the wash can help eliminate odours and brighten up your pillows. It’s a great, natural way to get your pillows squeaky clean.
Can I steam feather pillows?
It’s not recommended. The high heat from steaming can damage the feathers and create a breeding ground for mould. Stick to washing and thoroughly drying your pillows instead.
Is it worth washing feather pillows?
Yes, indeed! Washing your feather pillows at least once a year keeps them fresh, clean, and allergen-free. It helps extend their life and ensures they stay as comfortable as possible.
Well, we’ve been on quite the journey, haven’t we? From washing feather pillows by hand to tumble drying them, we’ve covered every angle of feather pillow care. It’s all about ensuring our pillows last longer and keep providing us with a great night’s sleep.

By Barbara Bazaldua, illustrated by Willie Ito (Camarillo, Calif.: Yabitoon Books, 2010, 145 pp., $19.95, paperback)
Travel back to the Japanese American community of the 1940s and absorb the history of internment camps while reading what feels like a novel. Pick up “A Boy of Heart Mountain” by Barbara Bazaldua.
Told from the perspective of 10-year-old Shigeru Yabu, this book effortlessly takes us to World War II-era San Francisco, then moves to the Pomona Assembly Center in Los Angeles County, and finally finds a home in Heart Mountain, Wyo.
Shig is an astute observer of adult behavior. While attending a wedding reception, Shig sees and feels the adults react to a radio announcement of the attack on Pearl Harbor: “No one in the room moves. Men and women stand frozen in position, forks and cups half lifted to their lips … It is as if the voice on the radio has stolen our voices away … The silence seems to grow and swell, filling the room.”
Shig looks to his stepfather Joe to explain what this means: “Joe, who has always had a good answer for all my questions, just shakes his head. There are tears in his eyes. Joe never cries. He always tries to look on the bright side.”
Shig also notices an immediate change in his mother. Distracted, she is no longer concerned about the stain on his shirt, and she keeps looking over her shoulder as they walk the familiar streets home. Shig articulates his own feelings: “I feel afraid in some way I can’t understand, and that makes me angry. I don’t like not knowing why I feel this way, or with whom I am angry.” He fires pebbles from his slingshot.
The next day he is greeted with hostility by a classmate and then is embarrassed by the way his sympathetic Caucasian teacher tries to defend him by stating that Shig is an American. Throughout the book Shig will come to terms with the consequences of being Japanese American. He resents his stepfather’s seeming acceptance of the FBI search of their home. He is uprooted from his home. He has to leave his dog behind. “My life feels full of holes left behind by all the good things that are gone now.” The soldiers guarding the trains they were forced to board make him feel “as if we have done something wrong, even though I know we haven’t. My chest is tight with shame and anger.”
The conditions at the Pomona Assembly Center are pitiful. Shig describes the “shed” he will live in for months. “There is nothing. No beds, no furniture … Cobwebs hang like thick grey scarves in the corners. It smells of grease and oil … A single light bulb hangs from the ceiling. The walls aren’t even complete, just partitions that go three-fourths of the way to the ceiling … There is no privacy.”
The inmates adjust to the miserable conditions at the assembly center and find ways to make life bearable with talent shows, visiting the elderly, organizing a makeshift school, baseball teams, sumo matches and crafts groups.
When news finally comes that they will be sent to the Heart Mountain Relocation Center, Shig says a bittersweet goodbye to his new friends. After enduring an endless train journey, his family is herded into an open truck like livestock. Holding out some hope for better conditions, Shig’s family is soon demoralized all over again. Hit by the bitter cold, wind whistling through gaps in the raw pine floors and walls, a potbelly stove with no coal to burn, and hunger from the long journey, the family survives their first night, awakening to find frost on the floor of their “apartment.”
The greatest part of the book details major issues faced by inmates: the wind, the ever-present dust, treacherous snowstorms, the bad food, despair, the divisive so-called loyalty questionnaire, the draft, the resisters of the Fair Play Committee, racism, and death, all set against a backdrop of tension. What will the government do next? The issues are presented in simple terms appropriate for our 10- to 13-year-old narrator Shig. The simplicity of the language makes this information accessible for adolescents yet still interesting to adult readers. The book ends as the family awaits release from camp and an uncertain future in the outside world.
The book is based on the wartime experiences of Yabu, our endearing protagonist, experiences he shared with author Bazaldua. It is illustrated in black and white by Willie Ito, a former animator for Walt Disney Studios, Warner Brothers, Hanna-Barbera Productions and Sanrio.

Raymond has rolled out a film to show that it caters to the entire wardrobe through its 'made to measure' category. The ad film has been conceptualised by Famous Innovations.
The film opens with a suited man exchanging glances with a tailor. The tailor seems to notice something wrong. With one gesture of the tailor, the man suddenly starts floating mid-air. The tailor moves his hands around like a magician, and the clothes of the other man are dissected into several parts. The tailor then begins working on each detail in an aim to get perfection. He works on each part of the attire and gets the man ready, in a 'made to measure' wardrobe. The tailor does the stitching by himself, rather than using scissors or other tools. The film ends with a super that reads 'craft meets science', followed by another one that reads, 'Now for your entire wardrobe'.
The film went on-air on television in the last week of February.

Luscious Lemon Dream Bars
Servings: 16 bars
For the Shortbread Crust:
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Lemon Filling:
- 3/4 cup lemon juice (from about 4 large lemons)
- Optional: 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups full-fat coconut milk (using mostly the white part)
- 6 tablespoons cornstarch
- A tiny pinch of turmeric (optional for color, about 1/8th teaspoon)
- Powdered sugar for dusting the tops
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Prepare the Shortbread Crust: In a medium bowl, mix together the melted vegan butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the all-purpose flour and stir until well combined. The dough will be thick. Press it evenly and firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 16-18 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Set it aside to cool.
- Create the Lemon Filling: In a medium saucepan, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest (if using), granulated sugar, coconut milk, cornstarch, and a tiny pinch of turmeric for color if desired. Whisk thoroughly to dissolve the cornstarch. Heat the mixture over medium heat while stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves, and the mixture thickens. This should take about 10 minutes. Refer to the photos in the post for reference.
- Spread the Filling: Evenly spread the lemon filling over the baked crust, using a spatula to make it smooth. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, then remove from the oven. Allow it to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then transfer it to the refrigerator for an additional 1-2 hours, or overnight, until it sets.
- Serve and Enjoy: Lift the lemon bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Dust the top generously with powdered sugar and cut them into 16 squares. These bars can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, and they also freeze well.
- For gluten-free vegan lemon bars, use an all-purpose gluten-free flour like Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Baking Flour.

Many people were shocked, but none as much as Hereford, its chef and owner. After a career cooking at restaurants like Coquette, Hereford wanted to do something casual. He never meant for his Irish Channel restaurant to be a destination with lines out the door. Since the honor, Hereford has also opened Molly’s Rise and Shine, a breakfast joint with a similar sense of humor.
In the third episode of our Where NOLA Chefs Eats series presented by French Market Coffee, Hereford takes us down to the French Quarter, into the Warehouse District for Argentine steak and across the river for Vietnamese. We'll release the final two episodes in the coming weeks.
New Orleans, where he came after college
"I had no idea that New Orleans was a place that drew you in and changed your life and how much culture was here and how much more beautiful the quality of life is in New Orleans if you know how to have a good time. Within a couple of weeks, I knew it was probably the most special place I'd ever been."
What’s Turkey and the Wolf
"Man, you'd think in the last few years I would have figured out how to describe this restaurant. We serve sandwiches. A few things that aren't sandwiches. It's a group of people having a good time, cooking food for a bunch of people, showing them a good time and then sending them on their merry way."

Cane & Table
"It was not somewhere I went to a lot until Alfredo Nogueira took over. He's come to be a buddy of mine, and I felt really bad that I hadn't been here. And then I went and felt like a freaking idiot that I hadn't been eating here biweekly since he took over, because the food is absolutely incredible."
1113 Decatur St., New Orleans, 504.581.1112
Tan Dinh, his favorite Vietnamese
"If I go alone, I order for four and I just take a bunch of food home, or stay for hours and eat it all. I bring out-of-towners here all the time, because I'm really proud to show them we have this kind of food."
1705 Lafayette St., Gretna, 504.361.8008
La Boca’s owner, Adolfo García
"Adolfo García is just a cool dude. He is also a part owner of High Hat Café and Ancora. He's a restaurateur that's been around New Orleans for a long time and does it right. All his restaurants are super solid. None of them are fussy or overly complicated. And they just have really, really good food."

Vickers was gearing up to race in the Auto Club 400 in Fontana, California, last month when once again his world came to a halt. While on a flight out to Los Angeles for the race he noticed a familiar uncomfortable feeling.
'I had a little bit of pain in my chest when I was taking deep breaths and I spent half the flight trying to convince myself that I bumped into something along the way. I think deep down I kind of had an idea of what it was,' Vickers said.
He knew exactly what it was and what this meant. It was a recurrence of the blood clots that have periodically plagued him since 2010. And what it meant was he would not be racing that weekend. Treatment for the blood clots requires a regimen of blood thinners for a period of time, and he cannot race on blood thinners. The risk is too large that if injured, he'd bleed out. Once again, he was out of the car and left on the sidelines as a spectator.
This third occurrence of blood clots came less than two weeks after Vickers made a widely publicized comeback in Las Vegas, the third race of the season. Just three months earlier, Vickers had open-heart surgery to repair the artificial patch in his heart that his body had rejected. CNN was there with Vickers for the entire Las Vegas race weekend. He was full of optimism and a healthy dose of perspective.
'I've certainly had my fair share of challenges, but I mean, life's just so amazing, and I just feel so fortunate to just be here and enjoy it. I get to do what I love. I'm ready to get on this track and go over 200 miles an hour, which I love, and you know my highs have been really high too,'
He continues, 'I've been really fortunate to have a great family and great friends and my wife, and win races and championships, and pursue a passion and a dream. ... I have very little to complain about.'
His optimism continued even after a 15th-place finish.
'You always want to win. I'm a competitor, but top 15, considering where we were at three months ago, is more than any victory I could ever ask for. So very blessed. Very thankful to be alive and to be back doing what I love.'
Vickers' grateful joy was short-lived, as more clots were discovered just shy of two weeks later. It's the fourth setback that's taken Vickers away from the sport he loves since the onset, five years ago.
In 2010, Vickers was a young gun coming off a great 2009 season. He was the one to watch. But his season was cut short when, on a trip to Washington to visit troops at Walter Reed Memorial Hospital, Vickers was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and a pulmonary embolism. Blood clots had formed in his legs, lungs and fingers. This was also when he was diagnosed with a hole in his heart. Doctors repaired the hole with that artificial patch and treated his blood clots with medication.
Vickers worked hard on his recovery but suffered a different kind of setback just after his return. The team he was racing for, Red Bull Racing, decided to fold and leave the sport altogether. That left Vickers without a ride. But ever the glass-half-full guy, he took that in stride too.
'I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do, and I always wanted to race sports cars. I always wanted to race 24 Hours of Le Mans. It created an opportunity to run part-time (in NASCAR) with Mark Martin and Michael Waltrip Racing, and still get to follow some dreams that, you know, if you wait too long you may not be able to get.'
He did run the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a 24-hour race in France that Vickers describes as a bucket-list item for any race car driver.
'And one that I never thought I'd actually be able to do. When you're racing full-time in NASCAR, there's no time to take a month and go to France.'
His part-time deal with Michael Waltrip Racing turned into a full-time ride in 2013. Not only was he back, he was succeeding. Vickers won at New Hampshire Motor Speedway that July.
'I wasn't sure if I would ever race again at points. And then to not only be back in the car, to be back with a great team and to be back in Victory Lane was beyond amazing and unequivocally one of the most important special wins of my career,' Vickers said.
He was also making a big impression on his new boss, Michael Waltrip -- well beyond just the win.
'He's just an inspiration to many people, not only inside of our organization but with NASCAR fans. And folks all across the country have really gravitated to Brian's story. They love his dedication, his commitment, his passion, and what he's overcome,' Waltrip said.
But as seems to be the case with Vickers' story, it's one step forward and one step back. Shortly after that win, doctors found another clot in his right leg. He was out of the car again for three months.
But he returned and finished the 2014 season on a very strong note. All signs were pointing forward -- until, during the offseason in December 2014, Vickers had pains he couldn't explain. This time it would be worse than the clots. His body was rejecting the artificial patch used to repair the hole in his heart. This required immediate open-heart surgery. Vickers describes the recovery as the 'most painful experience of my life.'
'I've always heard the saying, and I do believe it: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And I've added to it that: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but they leave out -- but everything in the middle sucks. Everything in between usually sucks. But that's part of it.'
Remarkably he did recover much faster than doctors expected, and he's very clear that, rather than pity, he hopes his fans find inspiration in his story to help them through whatever trials they may be facing.
'I don't feel sorry for myself. I don't say woe is me. I don't expect anyone else to feel sorry for me. I think everyone has difficulties and challenges in their life and they're all unique to each situation. But when you're in the ICU and all the beds are full around you, it's not like you can say, 'Why me?' I mean, you're not the only one there. But you can't give up. You just gotta keep pushing forward.'
This is the attitude Vickers is using to deal with this latest setback. And if he's physically capable after his three-month treatment on blood thinners, you'd better believe that Brian Vickers will climb back into that No. 55 Toyota.

KUALA LUMPUR: A Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officer detained in connection with the alleged theft of RM25mil cash evidence is now being investigated for drug trafficking.
Bukit Aman Narcotics Crime Investigation Department (NCID) director Comm Datuk Razarudin Husain said the suspect was being held under the Dangerous Drugs (Special Preventive Measures) Act 1985.
"We believe he has been involved in drug trafficking for about a year.
"The suspect is being held under the Act for 60 days but we will not take that long to investigate.
"Once the investigation is completed, we will send the case file to the Home Ministry's Legal division for further action," he said when contacted on Wednesday (Oct 20).
He added that the suspect was initially detained for possessing Erimin 5 pills while his urine test came back positive following a report lodged by the MACC.
"We also detained two addicts, who were in possession of drugs. They are our witnesses," Comm Razarudin said.
The suspect was arrested by police for possessing drugs, a firearm and bullets on Sept 21. The drugs were reportedly discovered at his office.
He was one of the three MACC officers detained by graft busters in connection with the loss of case items involving US$6mil (RM25mil) recently.
The MACC released a statement last month saying three of its officers had been detained to assist investigations into allegations of abuse of power and misconduct in a case involving a “former senior government servant who had been discharged but not acquitted by the court”.
The commission said a thorough probe was under way.
The officers were being probed over the misappropriation of US$6mil seized from former Malaysian External Intelligence Organisation chief Datuk Hasanah Ab Hamid.
In April, Hasanah was granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal by the High Court for criminal breach of trust involving RM50.4mil of government funds.
The case was withdrawn following a new development.
The MACC statement came on the heels of reports that Hasanah had attempted to reclaim the seized money but found part of it missing and replaced with counterfeit notes.
The Attorney General's Chambers has reportedly received the investigation paper on the case involving the alleged theft of over RM25mil.
"The prosecution division will study the matter closely and determine if the case will be charged, or an order issued to investigate the case further," it said.

Tattoos have been a part of the tradition for hundreds of years. Individuals used them to indicate their standing and function in society, displaying they’re a part of a particular group. Just about the identical purpose why folks get inked these days. However as we speak, the world isn’t so simple as it was when tattoos had been invented. That’s why sure teams use them as a silent protest in opposition to injustice. Immediately we glance into the that means behind essentially the most well-known LGBT tattoos. However first, let’s see the explanations behind that hype amongst queer folks.
Why Do LGBT Individuals Get Tattoos (And an Various for That)
Widespread causes for getting any tattoo are:
- peer stress – in case you hang around with a bunch of tattooed folks, you’d ultimately get a tattoo
- developments – most celebrities are inked, tattoos aren’t only for gang members anymore
- expressing themselves – singers tattoo microphones, hairdressers tattoo scissors, and so forth
- paying honor to somebody – mother, dad, good friend, canine… we wish to remind ourselves how a lot somebody means to us by tattooing one thing associated to them
Causes for getting a sexuality-related tattoo aren’t a lot completely different. LGBT folks get some well-known symbols to assist them take care of their internal conflicts. Not each queer particular person is 100% certain about their sexuality, so having a reminder underneath their pores and skin helps them preserve going.
A extra common purpose for getting any tattoos we’ll listing later is to indicate different folks you belong to a particular group. Each homosexual man and girl at the least as soon as approached somebody straight. Errors occur. Nobody’s gaydar is all the time exact. However some folks make issues simpler for his or her potential companions. Having a tattoo that symbolizes their sexuality is a transparent invite to everybody who belongs to that group. In a method, tattoos are visitors indicators that stop queer folks from colliding with singles who aren’t their matches.
In fact, there are fewer painful options for locating folks of the identical s3x than getting a tattoo. Within the fashionable world, utilizing relationship websites has turn into vanilla. That opened area for area of interest websites, so now there are specialised websites for everybody. Single [email protected] girls in search of intimacy simply should search for “lesbian hookups near me” and create a profile on the precise platform. A little bit of chatting and hookups ought to begin pouring. Many women on the positioning discover tattoos engaging. That may increase the possibilities of getting dates. But, the primary benefit is that everybody on the positioning is homosexual. No misunderstandings! Nobody can say, “Oh, sorry, didn’t see your rainbow tattoo” on a lesbian relationship web site. Straight folks don’t have anything to do there.
Most Well-known LGBT Tattoo Symbols and their Meanings
Some symbols have an essential that means within the LGBT world. Rainbow should be essentially the most well-known. Nearly everybody on the earth connects LGBT with rainbow colours. In order that would be the first image we’ll clarify.
Gilbert Baker is the person we are able to all thank for designing the rainbow flag. He was an brazenly homosexual drag queen in 1978 and acknowledged the rainbow because the flag from the sky. He added that means to each shade:
- pink – intercourse
- purple – life
- orange – therapeutic
- yellow – daylight
- inexperienced – nature
- turquoise – artwork
- indigo – concord
- violet – spirit
Since then, the rainbow flag has turn into essentially the most well-known factor associated to the LGBT neighborhood and the preferred tattoo motive, particularly amongst lesbians. They’re typically mixed with different fashionable issues, comparable to joints not too long ago, so there are in all probability some ladies with a rainbow-joint tattoo.
Nazis used a pink triangle signal to demarcate homosexuals. A pink triangle is for homosexual folks, like a yellow star for Jewish folks. However when did that infamous image turn into a preferred tattoo within the LGBT world?
Earlier than turning into a tattoo that exhibits somebody is happy with who they’re, a pink triangle was used to indicate solidarity throughout protests in opposition to discriminatory housing legal guidelines in Miami, Florida, in 1977. Seems to be like the fashionable LGBT neighborhood must be grateful to folks from the Seventies.
An equal signal is definitely The Human Rights Campaign brand. It was unveiled in 1995 and has helped tens of millions of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transsexuals, and so forth., turn into extra accepted. The signal marked the ultimate step within the evolution of the group. Since then, it has turn into some of the essential indicators within the LGBT neighborhood.
All common LGBT tattoo symbols have fascinating tales, and so does Lambda. Some folks don’t know what that phrase stands for. Others acknowledge it solely because the eleventh letter from the Greek alphabet. However those that know their historical past or belong to the LGBT neighborhood understand how inspiring the lambda signal is. That Greek image was utilized by a bunch of Greek warriors. They had been well-known for his or her braveness and for staying on the battlefield till they died. The desire to die on your trigger could be inspiring sufficient. However these courageous males fought alongside their romantic companions (normally youthful than them). Sure, they had been courageous, they usually had been homosexual. It’s not shocking that many LGBT members proudly put a lambda signal on their our bodies.

SAN MATEO (03/03/2000) - FOLLOWING THROUGH on a promise made when they announced their decision to merge, America Online Inc. and Time Warner Inc.
(TW) this week said they welcomed giving competing ISPs access to TW's cable infrastructure.
However, sources said the move was designed largely to fend off some of the flack AOL has gotten for seeming to waffle on the issue. A new MOU (memorandum of understanding) between the two -- detailing new "open-access business practices" -- also coincided with meetings to discuss the merger on Capitol Hill and at the Federal Communications Commission.
Until it merged with TW, AOL lobbied to have government bodies regulate broadband cable access. But AOL Chairman and CEO Steve Case said at the merger's unveiling that market forces should prevail.
Some industry watchers speculated that the move was a small concession for AOL, however.
"This probably isn't that big a deal for them, because AOL controls so much of the market," said Steven Harris, an analyst at International Data Corp., in Framingham, Mass.
In building its open-access framework through the MOU, AOL and TW also left themselves some room on sticky issues such as customer control, said Harris. On broadband platforms, the question of ISPs having direct relationships with end-users can be thorny.
AOL-TW also made no promises to offer the same prices to competing ISPs that AOL enjoys, said Harris.Those pricing issues will likely come up as companies such as GTE -- which runs ISP GTE.net -- begin negotiating for access to TW cable properties.
"The MOU references nondiscriminatory access for multiple ISPs. But there is some ambiguity as to what that means precisely for the purposes of negotiation," said John Raposa, associate general counsel for Irving, Texas-based GTE.
GTE, however, applauded AOL's move. "From our perspective, we view this as a clearly positive development we hope will [prompt] the rest of the cable industry to do the same thing," Raposa said.
Exclusive deals between cable operators and ISPs such as the one binding AT&T to Excite@Home have irked competing ISPs. AT&T has vowed to break its pattern of exclusivity but not until its contract with Excite runs out in 2002.
The AOL-TW memo also raised some eyebrows by mentioning "marketing commitments" in its list of criteria for pricing ISP access.
"This could mean they give ISPs an easier time if they [do] a certain level of marketing for them," said Sue Ashdown, director of Washington, D.C.-based U.S.
Internet Service Providers Association.
Time Warner Inc., in New York, can be reached at www.timewarner.com. America Online Inc., in Dulles, Va., can be reached at www.aol.com.
Open access for all
AOL and Time Warner's MOU gives some details on the plan to let ISPs use Time Warner's cable network.
* Consumers would not be required to buy service from AOL.
* AOL-TW would not limit the number of ISPs providing access.
* AOL-TW will factor in speed, marketing agreements, and the type of service when deciding how much to charge other ISPs.
AOL HIT WITH MORE LAWSUITS
America Online has been slapped with two more class-action lawsuits. The lawsuits allege that the latest version of AOL's Internet software makes changes to customers' PCs that make it hard, if not impossible, for them to connect to alternative ISPs.
The most recent lawsuits were filed this week in New Jersey and Oregon. They seek class-action status on behalf of all users in those states who installed AOL Version 5.0. They follow similar lawsuits filed earlier this year in Washington, Arizona, Virginia, Colorado, and Ohio.
The claims made in all of the lawsuits are similar and relate to the most recent version of AOL's Internet software -- AOL Version 5.0 -- released in October of last year.
AOL failed to inform customers that installing the AOL 5.0 upgrade would make "dramatic changes" to their operating systems and would interfere with their ability to connect to other ISPs, according to a statement issued this week by Hagens Berman, a law firm handling four of the lawsuits, including the two most recent filings.
AOL did not return a call about the latest lawsuits. AOL previously said, however, that users must grant permission before any changes are made to their computer settings and can find instructions in the AOL help area about how to change them back. The company maintains that users can use multiple ISPs with AOL Version 5.0.

If you saw Lorde’s “Solar Power” music video earlier this summer and wanted to join whichever commune she was advertising as “a prettier Jesus,” her new “Mood Ring” clip takes us further inside the slightly tongue-in-cheek ashram. The song arrives just three days in advance of the singer’s Jack Antonoff-co-produced “Solar Power” album, which arrives Friday.
The mood in this particular video is very specifically a gentle, pastel green. The other color of note is blond, Lorde’s adopted hair color for the occasion. She and her five female costars spend their communal time together dipping their toes into a bowl of crystals (new age references fill the lyrics, although somewhat cheekily), indulge in group reading and page-turning, and form their own moody ring of bodies on the tent floor, doing a slight bit of Busby Berkeley-style overhead-view choreography.
“Mood Ring” had been pegged by some Lorde fans, with or without inside knowledge, as the most commercial song off “Mood Ring,” the previously released title track and “Stoned at the Nail Salon” notwithstanding. And it fulfills that promise, with its gentle beat, sweetly sung hook (with background vocals once again coming from Phoebe Bridgers and Clairo) and mixed-mood lyrics adding up to what most Lorde acolytes will likely agree is the breezy best of the three songs officially released thus far.
“This is a song I am very excited about; it’s so much fun to me,” Lorde said in a statement accompanying the release. “Obviously when making this album I did a deep dive into ’60s, Flower Child culture. I wanted to understand the commune life, dropping out from society and trying to start again. That really resonated to me when writing this album. One thing that occurred to me as a major parallel between that time and our time is our wellness culture and our culture of spirituality, pseudo-spirituality, wellness, pseudo-wellness. Things like eating a macro-biotic vegan diet or burning sage, keeping crystals, reading tarot cards or your horoscope. These were all things that they were dabbling in back then, and that me and my girlfriends are dabbling in today. I was like, ‘I think there’s a pop song in here.’ So this is kind of my extremely satirical look at all of those vibes.”
Lorde will ditch the cult life to appear in Central Park for the “Good Morning America” summer concert series on release day, Friday, followed by a week-long residency on “The Late Late Show With James Corden” next week.

MYAGDI, Nov 16: Most of the farmers in Rakhu of Beni Municipality have already received booking for oranges in their orchard even though harvest season is still one month away.
In the previous years, farmers used to receive booking only after mid-November. But this year, traders booked the oranges in mid-October itself. About 65 households of Rakhu village in Bhakimli in Beni-3 have already sold their oranges, local farmers say.
“Almost all the oranges in the village have already been booked,” Dek Bahadur Gharti Magar, a local farmer, told Republica. “We are very happy as we traders have offered us good price for our products.”
Earlier, farmers had to take orange to the markets themselves by hiring porters. Traders started reaching the village after construction of a road that links the village to Beni.
Local farmers say traders have offered them Rs 45 for a kilogram of 'A' and 'B' grade oranges, and Rs 25 per kilogram for grade 'C' oranges.
“Local traders like Kumari Pun and Raju Pun have offered us better prices than traders from another district,” said Kul Bahadur Garbuja, another farmer, said. “Many farmers had sold oranges to farmers before they were ready for harvest last year as well.”
Rakhu village had exported oranges worth Rs 3 million last year, according to Bir Bahadur Thapa, an orange farmer. “More than 90 percent of the oranges produced in our village get sold.”
Locals of Rakhu started orange farming after seeing growing demand for the fruit in other nearby villages and markets.
According to District Agriculture Development Office (DADO) Myagdi, the district produced 2,086 tons of oranges worth Rs 73 million last year.


Initially, when moving to using cloud services many organisations look at individual services, not a full lift and shift. Many larger organisations can not migrate in a big bang approach due to time, resource and cost. The typical first step is email - and then more often than not, Microsoft Office 365 (O365.)
O365 is the most widely used Cloud service - more popular than G-Suite with 1 in 5 corporate employees now using it. Its communication and conferencing hub, Teams, is now used by 500,000 companies with 90% adoption by the Fortune 100.
66% of organisations are already using O365, and 75% of those admit to having multiple cloud solutions (I would guess this is closer to 100% in reality though).
Users now want the freedom to access corporate data and information from anywhere, anytime and on any device. This brings with it new risks to your organisation, in terms of data loss, account hijacking and the threat to business reputation.
Plus, a lot of your data and tech solutions are outside Microsoft, so a Microsoft security approach can be limiting. The traditional approach can often create more problems, e.g. the re-use of username and passwords, or needing claims rules to prevent unsecured home PC access, and the usual Azure Active Directory (AAD) and notably ADFS challenges (especially for non-O365 integration.)
Consider this: A user needs to access cloud email on a work device, seamlessly and securely. Another user needs to access cloud services from their home PC as an urgent request, while another is trying to access the O365 from an unauthorised device and gets their credentials incorrect. How can you make sure your data is safe and protected from cyber attacks?
There is much to consider here. For starters, is Microsoft EOP suitable as a mail gateway solution? Secondly, we spend a great deal securing desktops, but what about Mobile Application Threats? Mobile Advanced Threats? Man-In-The-Middle threats? What happens if there is an account hijack or brute force attack on O365? Or what about somebody or service inside your Cloud instance crossing over services to take data?
The traditional approach is not working
The challenge with the traditional approach is that claims rules checks the connection and where it’s coming from, which can then determine if you will allow access to data from certain locations. So if you want to access the data from anywhere else than in the office, you’d need to VPN into the network, which many organisations do easily. But you also need to have a valid device that’s configured with your VPN for this to work, meaning you can’t use a home device.
Encouraging remote users to connect to this office network then back out again causes a trombone effect. But it is much faster to download than to upload, so why would you want employees to VPN back to your expensive connection to come all the way down to then come all the way back again to collect some data and go all the way back out again. It makes things very slow and expensive to deliver properly. It makes much more sense to lock down access to Office 365 and other cloud services at the same time by other means.
Another potential issue is Azure Active Directory (AAD), which can only link with a subset of service providers. In addition, how can you ensure that along with the identifying the right user, you have also ensured that the right device, the right security posture and the right applications?
Alternative solutions are needed to be able to truly secure both Office 365 and other cloud services to ensure you have no potentially lethal cracks in your security posture. You need to able to ensure and verify the right user, on the right device with the right applications to be fully secure.
Find out more about how to secure your organisation in today's world in our latest webinar, Modern Authentication for Office 365 and Beyond, 30 January, 2:00pm.

Thankfully, the Red Wings grabbed him when they did. So far in his career, he has yet to disappoint. It's always fun to watch Datsyuk stick-handling and play on the ice. It's like watching magic happen in the rink.
Here are 13 most amazing video highlights of his career that are only small tidbits of his extraordinary talent.


(From the Korea Times)
By Kang Seung-woo
President Park Geun-hye and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussed ways Friday to address North Korea’s missile and nuclear weapons programs, the Blue House said.
The presidential office said that the two heads of state held a 45-minute phone conversation from 9 p.m.
This was Park’s first phone discussion with Xi following Pyongyang’s fourth nuclear test on Jan. 6.
The conversation came about as the Kim Jong-un regime is preparing to launch a satellite ─ believed to be a front for a long-range ballistic missile test ─ sometime between Feb. 8 and 25.
“Park stressed the need to deliver the international community’s stern message to the North by adopting a strong and effective resolution to change the country at this time,” Park’s office said in a statement.
A U.S.-led push for the toughest-yet sanctions on the North are underway at the United Nations (U.N.).
“In this respect, President Park asked President Xi to join the move to punish the North because China is a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council and can exert its leverage on the North,” it said.
However, the Blue House did not disclose how Xi reacted to Park’s request. Read more


A Los Angeles court has again extended Amanda Bynes' involuntary psychiatric hold, this time for an additional 30 days.
TMZ.com said Tuesday that a judge ordered the extension after doctors on Monday told the court Bynes, 28, is "very ill" and in no condition to care for herself. She was admitted on Oct. 10 to Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena, California, under a state law permitting a 72-hour involuntary hold that can then be extended. A judge on Oct. 13 had granted an additional two weeks.
Bynes had been involuntarily hospitalized in July 2013 after police found her setting a small fire in a stranger's driveway in Thousand Oaks, California. After four months of inpatient rehabilitation, she was released to her parents, Lynn and Rick Bynes, under her mother's conservatorship. In April this year, she denied, through her attorney, that she suffered from schizophrenia.
It was unclear Tuesday whether her parents planned to pursue a new conservatorship or seek to have Bynes remain hospitalized in treatment. Bynes' attorney did not respond to a Newsday request for comment.
The former star of Nickelodeon's "All That" and "The Amanda Show" has exhibited much troubling behavior in recent years, including being arrested for DUI in 2012, for which she was convicted in February. She was also arrested in Manhattan last year on unlawful possession of marijuana and reckless endangerment charges that were dropped conditionally in June.
The current psychiatric hold came after another DUI arrest last month, a string of tweets earlier this month in which she accused her father of abuse, later recanting but saying he implanted a microchip in her brain, and a reported shoplifting incident in Manhattan.

Gujarat's women group gets UN awardtext_fields
Katowice (Poland): India's Gujarat on Tuesday got a United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) award for women's leadership with low cost and sustainable technology to tackle storms.
The Gender Just Climate Solutions Award of the Women and Gender Constituency, one of the nine stakeholder groups of the UNFCCC, was given to Gujarat at a side event of the ongoing 24th Conference of the Parties (COP24) in this Polish city in the technical category.
The award mentions that Gujarat, prone to short periods of heavy rains and flooding, followed by long droughts, has combined women's leadership with low cost and sustainable technology to tackle the severe impacts of excessive rainwater from storms.
This technology protects groundwater via a filtration system and increases soil fertility by reducing salinity.
The units conserve one to four million litres of runoff water and can irrigate 22 acres during the dry season. While women still do not own the land, by owning the technology they help their community double their harvest which in turns has a tremendous impact on their role in the community as decision-makers.
Since 2011, more than 3,500 units have been installed in India and also increasingly abroad, in Ghana, Vietnam and Bangladesh.
Each installed "Bhungroo" provides food security for 30 to 100 people, generating an additional income of about $5700 per year, a statement by the UNFCCC said.
Established in 2009, the Women and Gender Constituency now consists of 28 women's and environmental civil society organisations, who are working to ensure that women's voices and their rights are embedded in all processes of the UNFCCC framework.
The other winners are Dorothee Lisenga of CFLEDD, Clive Chibule of the Green living Movement and Trupti Jain of Naireeta Services.

Next up in our WIP series is our NCO attached to the HQ. I love this sculpt and his facial features. I have two of these sculpts in the box set and couldn't be happier. His M-1 in one hand and his binoculars in his left hand. His facial features showing his urgent concerns.
The NCO was cleaned of all flash. This particular model was an awesome cast and not much clean up was needed. A beautiful sculpt for sure. I hand primed the model once again with black. The humidity was still too high in Virginia to prime outside. Once you have "fuzzed" a model with primer you try really hard not to do it ever again.
I applied the base coat as Brown Violet. It works great on 15mm and shows a strong highlight to the main uniform color.
|Base coat and uniform highlights|
|Gear painted with Green Grey. Hit with a dark ink and then re-highlighted.|
Red Leather was used for the boots, knife sheath, pistol holster and binocular case. After it dried I hit them with dark ink and then highlighted the high spots with Red Leather once again.
Skin was achieved by starting with Dark Flesh. I left that color in the deep spots and applied Dwarf Flesh to 80% of the surface area. Once dry, I applied Flesh toned ink to all skin. I don't feel painting the eyes is needed with this technique.
|Better light ... better detail shot|
The rifle and shovel handle were painted with Beige Brown and then dark inked. I didn't add highlights to allow some slight difference between soldiers. The metal was once again hit with a number 2 pencil, a FOW technique. Lastly, US Dark Green was applied to knees and elbows and dark inked to make it appear darker.
|Back shot of mentioned areas|
