After upgrading the Toughpad FZ-B2 tablet, Panasonic is here again with another rugged tablet: the Toughpad FZ-A2. This new Android mobile device is a fully rugged 10.1-inch tablet that is expected to become another bestseller.
Panasonic just made some enhancements to the Toughpad FZ-B2 tablet. The 7-inch Android tablet that was introduced last year was recently updated with better specs and features to deliver a higher-quality Android tablet experience
Previously, Panasonic made a name for itself in creating durable and tough laptops, specifically with the ToughBook series in the mid-90s. But now, since people aren’t really looking to carrying heavy laptops when they’re out
Ok, so we’re reluctant to call it a smartphone. It’s more like a great point-and-shoot with a gorgeous lens, AND you can send text messages with it. That’s probably how far we’re willing to go to describe Panasonic’s
In December 2014, Panasonic came out with the Lumix DMC-CM1, its first smartphone-camera that had specs like a flagship smartphone (at that time) and a gorgeous and huge Leica lens straddling the back of the smartphone. It was so
Panasonic has just announced a slew of new Android 5.1-running smartphones in the form of the T45 4G, Eluga I2 with 4G LTE, and the Eluga L2. If you may remember, the company rolled out the Eluga Icon on Amazon India last week.
Panasonic smartphone lines may not be popular as the Samsung Galaxy phones, LG G’s, ASUS ZenFone’s or HTC One’s but the Eluga phone series has been around since 2012. It was first released in Europe and was also
Panasonic officially made the Lumix DMC-CM1 hybrid camera phone available in the US a couple of weeks ago. And now, the camera…err, phone…camera phone is now on Amazon. This means another easy way to get this Lumix
The Lumix DMC-CM1 was announced at Photokina 2014, around September last year, and it surely turned a lot of heads. It’s a hybrid camera and phone – not what you’re thinking, because yes, we do admit that every high-end
India is considered to be one of the emerging markets that has the potential to change the landscape of mobile phones in a few years time. With their consumers constantly looking for affordable smartphones with decent specs, a

Charts for Bitcoin long and short positions on Bitinex. A unique tool for crypto traders who wish to gauge sentiment and analyze the BTC market. Check if leveraged bears or bulls are due for a margin squeeze. Charts also include Bitmex liquidations and health scores for both longs and shorts. The way I'm trading this is in two trades. One with a very large position which I am closing right now, and another with a smaller position which I will sit on for a bit until the market just consolidates here (meaning unlikely to reach target) or reaches the target. Tradingview Bitcoin shorts is on track to be one of the best activity. The Tradingview Bitcoin shorts blockchain is a open journal that records bitcoin transactions. It is implemented as a chain of blocks, each block containing blood type hash of the previous block up to .
Tradingview bitcoin shortsBitcoin shorts vs Longs - Click for BTC margin charts - Datamish
If there are too many longs this can result in a long squeeze. If Bitcoin interest rate is high, traders are less likely to borrow Bitcoin to go short.
Interest rate can be pushed up if there is little Bitcoin funding available, so that is worth considering. At the top of the page there is a section where you can see how much Bitcoin funding is available.
Changes in short positions are important to consider. If shorts increase then sentiment is bearish, and if shorts decrease then bearish sentiment is decreasing. If there are too many shorters then that can lead to a short squeeze. This chart shows the distribution of longs and shorts as a percentage of the total margin interest, and tracks how this distribution has changed over time. Sometimes you will see a sudden and substantial drop in the total amount of shorts that has no effect on price.
This can seem surprising because you usually complete a trade when you close a short position. The explanation is that the closed short position was hedged. In other words the trader that closed his position did not need to go into the market to buy cover when the position was closed. Essentially the chart is reflecting how much BTC has been added or removed on the short side red line and how much BTC that has been added or removed on the long side green line.
If the green line is above the red line then sentiment can be said to be more bullish than bearish. Likewise sentiment can be said to be more bearish than bullish if the red line is above the green line. Short liquidations are green, and long liquidations are red. This chart shows the volume liquidated for the Bitcoin-USD trading pair each day for the past two weeks timeframe is fixed.
This chart shows the total volume liquidated for the selected timeframe. About Bitcoin. Trade Bitcoin. Futures: Spot:. Bitcoin development. Mana vs. Percent longs and shorts.

New version! Analysts say that the coin is likely to press higher in the hours and days ahead.
The issue is, according to the analyst, many of these shorts are bearish while the funding rate is also negative. This strongly increases the chances that Bitcoin will undergo a short squeeze, driving prices rapidly to the upside. This looks to me like a bunch of over-leveraged shorts are underwater. The funding rate is the fee that long positions pay short positions on a recurring basis to keep the price of the future to the price of the spot market.
Negative funding rates combined with increasing prices increases the chance that a short squeeze takes place. Could you be next big winner? I consent to my submitted data being collected and stored.
The bearish warnings start flashing after Bitcoin pursued a relentless upside rally wherein its price jumped by almost percent from its September nadir. BTC continues to be accumulated by Grayscale, a leading digital asset fund manager.

Infographic: How Would You Describe Your Mail Center?
Generally speaking there are two types of mail center - a basic mail center that manages small volumes of mail and a major mail center that manages a full suite of mailing and shipping processes - both for incoming and outgoing mail and parcels. A basic mail center doesn’t have a dedicated Mail Center Manager. And it most likely has envelope stuffing and postage meter machines in a centralized location. A major mail center however has a dedicated Mail Manager and staff that are involved in managing the entire mailing and shipping operations.
The Rise in Parcel Delivery
Following the growth in e-commerce, more and more parcels are being sent out by mail centers via a range of carriers. And organizations that handle a lot of parcel shipping like to have a large mail center in order to centralize this activity.

BASEBALL; Looking for a Way to Win and, Maybe, Repeat
By JACK CURRY
Published: May 26, 2005
The chatty starter named Curt Schilling has appeared on more sports talk radio shows in Boston than games for the Red Sox. David Wells, another motormouth starter, has won only two games and has even mused about nearing the end. Closer Keith Foulke has been miserable. Fans are treating Edgar Renteria, the $40 million shortstop, as if he is wearing a Derek Jeter mask.
But Matt Clement and Bronson Arroyo, two thin-as-a-foul-pole pitchers who had question marks after the names on their uniforms, have combined to go 9-1. Johnny Damon has been Johnny Damon, only better. Jason Varitek, David Ortiz and Trot Nixon are performing as if a magical October bled into 2005.
These are the sorry and superb elements of another Red Sox season so far, a season that is different from any since 1919 because they are waltzing around the major leagues as defending World Series champions. The Red Sox are trying to win two in a row, which has not happened since the Yankees won it all in 1998, 1999 and 2000.
''I don't think it's hard for us because we did it last year without even thinking about it,'' Ortiz said. ''We need to do the same thing.''
After the Red Sox play the Toronto Blue Jays here Thursday, they travel to the Bronx for a three-game series against the Yankees. Surprisingly, the perennial American League East powers are staring up at the first-place Baltimore Orioles (29-16). Still, almost three-quarters of the season remains, and it is logical to theorize that the Yankees (25-21) and Boston (25-20)could crawl past them. Or is it? Gary Sheffield indicated recently that he thought part of the Yankees' early problems stemmed from their being so used to getting to the postseason and wanting to sail through the regular season to October.
Could the Red Sox be plagued with that problem as well? After a dreary 6-1 loss to the Jays Wednesday night pushed the Red Sox to their sixth loss in their last nine games, Damon repreatedly expressed concern. He stressed that the Red Sox must understand that their division is much more competitive so they cannot expect to be worried only about the Yankees.
''We need to get back to the mentality of every game is a must win instead of saying, 'We're going to be O.K.,''' Damon said. ''It's a different year.''
When Manager Terry Francona was asked if he sensed that the Red Sox might have a hangover after last year's success, he played on the idea that they were still self-proclaimed idiots.
''We're pretty good with hangovers,'' Francona said. ''Being serious, I don't see this team any different than last year's team.''
Just as in the soap-opera world of the Yankees, there is always some drama percolating around the Red Sox. Whether it is Foulke's visiting a biomechanics lab in Birmingham, Ala., to discover why he is struggling, Schilling's mending ankle, Wells's bloated earned run average, or Renteria's hitting more than 40 points below his career average, making eight errors and needing ear plugs at Fenway Park, the Red Sox churn out compelling storylines.
One of the more interesting parts of the Red Sox' chugging along in second place is that they have done it with scant production from Schilling and Wells. The Red Sox have thrived because of Clement, who is 5-0 with a 3.34 E.R.A., and Arroyo, who is 4-1 after losing Wednesday night for the first time since Aug. 21, 2004. Tim Wakefield is 4-3 and Wade Miller, who could end up being a savvy addition, has pitched well in three starts.
But, at some point, the Red Sox will need help from Schilling and Wells, two pitchers they probably figured would combine for 35 victories. Francona, who is unsure when Schilling (1-2) will return and who has watched Wells get battered for a dozen runs in seven and two-thirds innings since being activated from the disabled list, played down their minimal contributions.
''You can look back in the off-season at things that didn't happen, but not right now,'' Francona said. ''We're expected to find ways to win.''
After a 9-6 loss to the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Wells, having come back from a sprained foot, wondered about his place in the rotation and his future. Wells, who is 2-4 with a 6.81 E.R.A., spoke like a player preparing his career obituary.
''I can't be doing this,'' Wells said. ''If I can't help the team, I don't expect to be around. I might as well jump on the bandwagon with everyone else. Everyone is thinking maybe I'm over the hill. What am I doing? But I feel I can be competitive.''
Later, Wells said his shoddy pitching ''puts thoughts in the back of your mind,'' but he preferred to keep them private. Wells said that when he was asked about being finished as a pitcher, he wondered about it. The thing is, no one had asked him that.
Wakefield said there is ''nothing about this team that has surprised me.''
Manny Ramirez leads the Red Sox in homers with 11 and runs batted in with 38 to put them close to the top of the league in hitting, but he is batting .236. The Red Sox are near the bottom in pitching and in the middle in fielding. Only the Yankees have scored more runs than the Red Sox, but only four teams have allowed more runs.
Even if Francona dodged a question about what has surprised him, he should be surprised by Foulke's ineffectiveness. Foulke is 2-3 with a 6.95 E.R.A. He has 11 saves in 13 chances but has allowed 6 homers in 22 innings after allowing 8 in 83 innings in 2004. Right-handed hitters are batting .368 off Foulke, a right-hander.
When the Red Sox went to Cooperstown, N.Y., for a Hall of Fame exhibition game Monday, Foulke went to the American Sports Institute in Birmingham. The lab studies pitchers' deliveries for potential problem areas in the shoulder and elbow. Foulke declined to explain why he was in Alabama, other than saying, ''I didn't see a doctor.''
As the Yankees sputtered to an 11-19 record, Francona acknowledged that he wanted them ''to lose as much as they could because you know they're going to get hot.'' The Yankees did get hot and did not lose enough to satisfy Francona. He is focused on every element about the Red Sox, but he notices the Yankees, too.

It's not free. Why Summit County should reconsider government-owned broadbandApr 28, 2022
This opinion piece was originally published by the Akron Beacon Journal.
Anything too good to be true usually is — an adage especially true of “free” government money and services.
So, Summit County should be careful before committing millions of dollars of temporary federal COVID-19 funds to build a permanent government-owned broadband network —or GON — and a new countywide fiber-optic ring.
Summit County officials currently plan to spend $35 million in federal aid to build a fiber-optic ring connecting 31 county offices, then spend another $25 million on grants to entice those 31 local offices to connect to the new network. The county will almost certainly then attempt to add residential and commercial customers to the GON despite ample private-sector broadband service in the area.
The plan is politically attractive but fiscally risky. After all, local officials can tout a new “free” government network that local taxpayers haven’t paid for — at least not yet. And by the time Summit County taxpayers are asked to cough up the taxes to pay for network maintenance, system upgrades, and cost overruns, many of the officials advocating the plan today won’t be in office to take the political heat tomorrow.
As The Buckeye Institute has shown, GONs typically overpromise and underdeliver their services and savings to consumers. A University of Pennsylvania Law School report examined 20 GONs nationwide and found that more than half of them generated negative cash flow, five of the cash-flow positive projects would take more than 100 years to recover their start-up costs, and two would take more than 60 years. That means that GONs tend to cost more than advertised and more than they collect in user fees. And that means, of course, that GONs only survive on reshuffled taxpayer funds that offset the operating losses.
Unfortunately for Summit County residents, those additional funds will come from their pockets. When it is time to pay for maintenance and upgrades the federal spigot will have been turned off, and those who pay for private broadband service will then be paying for a public option that they do not even use. Ouch.
And it may prove riskier and more painful for municipalities after the initial tranche of federal funds is spent.
Cities are rightly worried as they watch the municipal income tax, their long-term revenue stream, dry up as more and more telecommuters work from home. Until cities find new ways to assess taxes and raise revenue, spending precious local resources on government-owned broadband looks like a bet that most cities cannot afford to wager.
Every local taxpayer dollar spent supporting an underfunded GON is a dollar not spent providing core government services like law enforcement. Eventually, something has to give. Either the quality of core services will decline or local taxes will be raised, jeopardizing jobs and economic growth. An unappealing choice. Someone should tell the people of Summit County about that part of the plan.
Communities that need better broadband service should avoid signing up for the GON that’s too good to be true. Instead, they should partner with private providers and pursue the state’s new residential broadband program or use the federal COVID-19 money to create vouchers for consumers to purchase broadband services from private providers. Either option is less risky for Summit County taxpayers than the county’s current plan.
Local governments awash in “free” federal aid should resist the alluring temptation to buy today what they cannot afford to maintain tomorrow, especially since that federal money will soon be gone.
Greg R. Lawson is a research fellow at The Buckeye Institute and is the author of Broadband “GON” Wrong: Remembering Why Government-Owned Broadband Networks Are Bad for Taxpayers.

Brisbane musician Andy Martin has today shared his first release of the year, Live. Breathe.
Made complete with distorted guitar chords and fast-paced drums, the uplifting track showcases Martin's commanding vocals and enthralling lyricism, all wrapped into a carefree, feel good anthem. The track navigates the musicians own headspace, taking listeners on a journey through his own introspective thoughts.
Speaking of the track, the musician shares: “I wrote this song right in the middle of the pandemic that shocked the nation last year. I was in a poor headspace that I couldn’t get out of, so I decided to write about exactly how I was feeling. Originally this was an acoustic pop track, that further developed into what you’re hearing today. I am so proud of this song. It shows how I have evolved as a songwriter over the last few years. If you want to dance, cry, laugh or hold somebody, this one’s for you (so everyone!).”
Formerly fronting indie-rock band HANDLES, Martin has stepped out on his own and is currently under the mentorship of Powderfinger guitarist Ian Haug. Receiving training as a trumpet player, the musician has performed with internationally acclaimed brass bands as well as played leads in various musicals.
Live. Breathe. Love. Me. is out now! Read our interview with Andy Martin here. Listen to the track below.

There is something collegiate about rock ‘n’ roll. The beer, the spills, the raw energy and carnage of emotion, the exploration through old ideas. Mostly – once coming out on the other side – we look back at it with warmth and tenderness, but with a nod to knowing better now. Nonetheless, there remains something about the genre that speaks directly to the scrapes, bruises, lessons, and fun learned during one’s cocksure early days. When good, it weaves seamlessly into our memories and gives us something to take with us. Yak has now released Pursuit of Momentary Happiness, a very good rock ‘n’ roll record.
In the cyclical music carousel, rock ‘n’ roll, as a genre, has also found itself relegated to the past. Today, it seems to lack immediacy, the things that made it so special when it first damaged eardrums. Even one of the widely best received rock albums of the last two decades, The Strokes’ Is This It, deals primarily with the ennui of modern life, so much so that it announces it in the title.
Yak, made up of singer-guitarist Oliver Henry Burslem, bassist Vincent Davies and drummer Elliot Rawson, manages to take the classic sounds and emotions associated with rock ‘n’ roll, and once again turn them vital. “Grab a cake and eat it, “ announces Burslem upon entering Pursuit of Momentary Happiness’ first track, ‘Bellyache’. His energy is infectious and his voice has an almost Television-esque strut to its unabashed retro callback. There is also a confidence that comes from a group who has clawed their way back to relevance after once before standing on the precipice and ending up homeless.
Formed in 2014, the band released their first LP, 2016’s Alas Salvation, to critical acclaim. They played SXSW as well as Glastonbury, and toured with King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard and The Last Shadow Puppets – Burslem’s voice has a striking resemblance to Alex Turner’s at times. Seemingly earmarked for success, the trio (at that point made up of Burslem, Rawson, and bassist Andy Jones) set off to record their second album at the Perth, Australia studio of Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker. Things didn’t work out. Jones left the band to get married and relocated to Melbourne, and the now duo returned to England penniless with no album and no place to live.
Once home though, things took a turn when Burslem was introduced to Spiritualized’s frontman Jason Pierce (aka J. Spaceman) by Spiritualized’s John Coxton, who encouraged the duo to finish the record. They found a new bassist, Davies, and began recording the album at RAK studios with producer Marta Salogni. Pursuit of Momentary Happiness is the result of these tribulations.
“What you’ve got is what you make it,” begins ‘Fried’, the album’s second track, a proper comment on the band’s ability to push through even the most challenging times. It’s another hard rocking song that gives the initial feeling that Pursuit of Momentary Happiness might be filled with just beer dowsed celebrations of anger and joy. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but as it turns out there is more to it.
The album’s title track comes next. It’s a circular carousel of a tune with flickering bulbs and painted horses with chipped teeth where Burslem croons unironically “nothing compares to you.” Even in its cliche, it lends a realness to the moment, and is worth it as it leads to the excellent turn of phrase, “It would be easier if nobody felt a thing, no love, no loss, nothing. If nobody felt in any pain, but that just ain’t livin’.”
Yak has the ability to truly enrapture an audience. They seem made up of the fuzzy lights and slippery floors of back road bars, but destined for a brighter future. ‘Words Fail Me’ has a Leonard Cohen meets Hamilton Leithauser swagger to its lamp lit stumble. It also shows a skilled understanding of horns and the power they can bring with juxtaposed with silence. Rawson’s drums, throughout the LP, crash with weight, but it’s their delicacy in the background of tracks like ‘Words Fail Me’, that show off the player’s true gifts, and it is often his dexterity that provides that added magical something to each song.
Pursuit of Momentary Happiness closes with ‘This House Has No Living Room’ and is its crowning achievement. It’s filled with ghosts and passed emotions and adds a modern touch to the album, while still remaining timeless.
Pursuit of Momentary Happiness is filled with love, depression, and is full of emotion. It is a confident and robust offering, and there is something undeniably British about the album. Maybe what we all need is a little rock ‘n’ roll?

To fuel optimum growth and development, all puppies require richly nourishing animal fats. That’s why ORIJEN Puppy features naturally occurring non-rendered fats from our unmatched fresh poultry, fish and egg ingredients.
DHA AND EPA FROM FRESH FISH
Fresh saltwater fish are a Biologically Appropriate™ source of DHA and EPA, which are essential for your puppy’s developing immune and nervous systems. DHA and EPA are not available from plant sources, such as flax, coconut or sunflower.
Your puppy’s natural diet contains few if any carbohydrates. That’s why ORIJEN is free of high-glycemic ingredients like potato and tapioca, and contains less than half the carbohydrates of conventional puppy foods.

ORIJEN’s fresh poultry, meats and fish provide a rich and natural source of glucosamine and chondroitin, so no synthetic sources are added to ORIJEN foods.

Your large puppy is unique and his feeding requirements will vary with his environment, age and activity.
That’s why we suggest starting with the guides below, and then monitoring his weight and adjusting portions as needed. Feed twice daily and remember always to keep fresh, clean water available.
ORIJEN Puppy Large provides more calories from protein and fat and fewer from carbohydrates, providing a calorie distribution that mirrors the natural puppy diet, reducing the risk of obesity and diabetes.

We collect impulses together and engage in the possibilities of disobedience.
“Let us go back to a pre-logical stage!” (Ola Vasiljeva).
From February 27 to April 24, 2016, Kunstverein Munich presented the exhibition “You’ve got beautiful stairs, you know” by Ola Vasiljeva. A major inspiration for the artist was Erich Fromm’s essay “About disobedience”. It states: “Human history began with an act of disobedience, and it is not entirely unlikely it will end with an act of obedience as well.”
In the first Salon of the Art of Living in 2016, we looked at the exhibition by Ola Vasiljeva from the viewpoint of disobedience. Because it quite consistently contradicts established expectations towards art. For example, the expectation that a work of art must have an intellectually understandable meaning. Instead, Ola Vasiljeva asks the viewer to go back to a pre-logical stage. To let things speak for themselves. To decipher their vibrations. To give the other, the abstract, the surreal and the symbolic a space to unfold in.
The exhibition “You’ve got beautiful stairs, you know” served to stimulate and inspire towards considering the possibility of disobedience in one’s own lives. Disobeying constraints, thinking routines, rules of social behavior, emotional and behavioral patterns, etc. What consequences would that have:
Politically? Socially? Economically? Interpersonally? Existentially?
Together we collected impulses and immersed ourselves in the exhibition and thereby, in the possibilities of disobedience. A lively and inspiring dialogue emerged between artist, speakers and guests.

Our therapy concepts are multimodal and disorder-oriented.
In addition to psychopharmacotherapy, which is based on current guidelines, particular importance is attached to psychotherapeutic-psychological treatment (psychodynamic, behavioral, family-systemic, procedures, positive psychology). Disorder-specific treatments such as CBASP (Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy for the treatment of chronic depression), schema therapy, DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for Borderline Disorders, psychoeducation and relaxation methods are also used concomitantly in each form of therapy.
Occupational therapy as well as sports and exercise therapy are important daily program points for our patients in the inpatient setting, which are aimed, among other things, at resource orientation and integration, activation, and learning "new" skills that have a positive effect on the illness, such as shaping the daily structure, dealing with stress, the importance of physical activity and health in everyday life as an important factor of psychological stability.
Nutritional counseling and cooking groups are designed to identify any existing harmful eating habits in order to support the curative process through a healthier diet and to provide regular and balanced meals, especially in the case of eating disorders.

Can Private Transportation Actually Save You Money?
Business travel is an essential aspect of many corporate industries, but one of the biggest concerns is often the cost of these trips. Many people assume that taking public transportation or renting a car is the most cost-effective option. However, there are many reasons why private transportation, such as a private car or executive car service, can actually save you money when traveling for business.
Business Class vs First Class: The Main Differences
When it comes to luxury travel, flying business class or first class can make a big difference in your overall experience. But what are the main differences between these two classes of service? And what tips should you keep in mind when booking business class flights or first class flights?
Car Service in New York: Why Luxury Transportation Is Better Than Uber
As a bustling destination with a bustling population, ride sharing services such as Uber and Lyft seem to have an endless amount of appeal in New York City. But while these services can be convenient and affordable, they also come with a number of downsides that can be frustrating for travelers when navigating this exciting but complicated area.
The Top 5 Things to Do in Los Angeles That You Won’t Want to Miss

General Motors Company announced today that it plans to skip the traditional summer shutdowns in North America to help meet customer demand for new vehicles.
GM said nine of 11 assembly plants would continue to operate during the traditional closure period, running from June 28 to July 9. Most of GM’s U.S. stamping and powertrain plants will also work to support assembly operations.
The decision is expected to result in 56,000 additional vehicles.
“This move will help buyers waiting for high-demand products such as the Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia,” said Mark Reuss, president of GM North America.” Our manufacturing teams are taking creative approaches to increase production and reduce the wait times for our dealers and customers.”
Historically, the summer shutdown was used by the automakers to complete the annual model changeover. Over the last 20 years, the two-week shutdown evolved, allowing the domestic auto industry to support maintenance operations and enabling employees to use their vacation weeks without interrupting overall productivity.

We present the open-source image processing software package PySAP (Python Sparse data Analysis Package) developed for the COmpressed Sensing for Magnetic resonance Imaging and Cosmology (COSMIC) project. This package provides a set of flexible tools that can be applied to a variety of compressed sensing and image reconstruction problems in various research domains. In particular, PySAP offers fast wavelet transforms and a range of integrated optimisation algorithms. In this paper we present the features available in PySAP and provide practical demonstrations on astrophysical and magnetic resonance imaging data.


New Orleans. -- The Krewe de Vieux Carre, the first one to march, chose Death as its theme this year. It paraded funereally through the French Quarter featuring black chiffon angels, executioners, coffins, wreaths and a guillotine.
This isn't all that unusual in New Orleans, a town where death enjoys respect and familiarity, where people take their picnics to cemeteries, bury each other with jazz bands, and live as if there were no tomorrow. Which could pretty well be the case if the Mississippi River levees break.
But this year's parade was unusually mortuarial, even given the town's proclivities. The Krewe de Vieux's official newsletter, Le Monde De Merde, listed various recent deaths under the headline, "Posthumorously Yours." The greatest was the death of several old-time marching societies, Comus and Proteus chief among them, because they wouldn't go along with desegregation.
Some of the krewe's officials found these deaths tragic, while other thought that racism deserves to die, so good riddance. Consequently, while some sub-krewes laid wreaths at the door of the Boston Club, headquarters of the defunct parades, and called for a moment of silence, others blew whistles and threw rubber eggs and plastic turds at the hallowed locus.
Other than that, the Krewe of the Mystic Inane, Krewe of Space Age Love, Krewe of Underwear, and especially the Mystick Korpse of Komatose mourned or celebrated the death of education in Louisiana, the death of New Orleans by casino and the demise of Republicans. Statements were issued by the Transylvanian Liberation Front, against vampire discrimination and by the Mystick Korpse of Komatose against discrimination of any kind.
It was also announced that the "Shroud of Turism" was discovered in New Orleans. The parade proceeded without incident almost to the end, when a sudden wind picked up the guillotine and destroyed a tourist. A cold rain fell but by then most marchers were full of firewater and the music never stopped playing.

David Artell believes that Crewe Alexandra’s impressive first half performance against Newport County was the catalyst for our late comeback. Crewe led 1-0 at half-time through Jordan Bowery’s fine finish and it should have been more.
Second half goals from Newport’s Antoine Semenyo and Padraig Amond put Michael Flynn’s side in the lead heading into the last few minutes.
A foul by the Newport County captain Fraser Franks on our own skipper, George Ray, gave Chris Porter the chance to level things up on 88 minutes and the experienced striker once again kept his composure from the penalty spot.
Crewe demonstrated great character to go on and win all three points in injury time. Callum Ainley’s composed finish following a crazy melee inside the Newport box sealed a superb three points.
David told the club’s official website: “Our first half performance was terrific and we should have been more than one goal up at half time. We deserved to be.
“We played some great football in that first half and they had to work hard to press us. The conditions played a part in the game because there was a strong wind but I think because we played so well in the first half and kept the ball so well, that they were tired in the last ten minutes.
“I wasn’t surprised by that and they tried to defend what they had. Our lads showed great character in the last ten minutes. They kept going and we literally forced the winning goal into their net. I was pleased with that goal because we kept the ball alive and there were a large number of them getting in there and trying to score a winner.
“We deserved to win on our first half performance alone in my opinion.”

I am a survivor and I give all of my credit and glory to God. I believe that my book will change your life and the lives of all who read it.

He is considered the most innovative of the Brazilian modernists. Besides having been a precursor of the Tropicália movement and of the "marginal poetry" of the 70s, de Andrade wrote three major manifestos: the Pau-Brasil Poetry Manifesto (1924), Pau Brasil (1925) and the Anthropophagic Manifesto (1928). He also introduced Brazilian literature to experimental prose with Memórias Sentimentais de João Miramar (1924).Visit me plase: http://nelsonsouzza.blogspot.com/2011/07/memorias-sentimentais-de-joao-miramar.html

Thanks to the grant obtained by the Friends of Balcones through the City’s NPP Program, the City-hired Contractor has completed* repairs to the “Creekside Trail” in Balcones Park. This is a great win for the neighborhood and park supporters. We started out with the goal to repair the dangerous chuckhole by the waterfall and were able to get a much larger section repaired. The trail is now open again. The completion is very timely as this section will allow for continued access from the Park to the Northern Walnut Creek Trail (NCWT) during construction of the NCWT extension to Amherst. This extension will start construction next month and be substantially complete in October. When complete, the two trails will provide a nice walking, running/biking loop and offer two different points of access to the NCWT which extends all the way to Walnut Creek Metro Park (with future extensions planned to I-35 and beyond).
In return for the grant, the neighborhoods have agreed to do volunteer projects to improve the Park and Greenbelt. We have a good start on the required volunteer hours with a great turnout for It’s My Park Day events in 2017 and 2018. We also cleared rocks and gravel from about 100 yards of the trail by the spring over the last year however there are some projects we need to do soon:
Pool Landscaping: we need about 6 volunteers to finish the pool entry landscaping – this project will completely transform the pool entrance!
There is some restoration work needed along the newly repaired trail. The contractor hired by the city doesn’t have the expertise to properly restore the side slope of the trail and since we still need to contribute volunteer hours, we have agreed to finish this task. We need about 12 volunteers to roll rocks, rake soil, place seed, and mulch this area.
Wildflower restoration: the City’s contractor disturbed the eastern portion of a wildflower area because they had to use that area for equipment access. Unfortunately they seeded the area with bermuda grass which will compete with wildflowers. We need 3-4 volunteers to rake the seed/mulch mixture to expose the seed to drying. Then we will plant new native grass and wildflower seed.
Northern Walnut Creek Trail Phase 1A – Meet the Contractor
Date: March 6, 2018
Covenant United Methodist Church
4410 Duval Road, 6:30 p.m.
Austin, Texas 78727
This project is the final piece of the Northern Walnut Creek Trail Project that extends from Balcones District Park to Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park. The project will construct approximately 2,030 feet of ten-foot-wide concrete trail with two-foot shoulders from Amherst Drive through Balcones District Park to the existing segment on the south side of the baseball field in the park. It will also include 200 feet of sidewalk, retaining walls to maintain an acceptable slope, storm water facilities to accommodate existing drainage patterns, and will have environmental protections to safeguard existing protected species and sensitive areas.
Project Schedule –The project is anticipated to begin in mid-March and will take about 6 months to complete.
What to expect during construction
–The project staging area will be in Balcones District park off Scribe Lane.
–There are two construction entrances on this project to expedite construction. –The first is off Amherst Drive and the second will be located off Scribe Drive.
–Temporary access to baseball field will temporarily be off Stoney Drive.
–The trail will be closed once construction begins until further notice.
–Monthly Status Updates via email & Public Works Department website https://www.austintexas.gov/page/walnut-creek-trail-system
–Social media, updates posted as needed on NextDoor and City of Austin Public Works Facebook page
Donate to Balcones Park on or before Fri, March 2nd at 6pm!
And Grow Your Donation!
APF will match 25% of every donation to our park up to the first $2,500! AND Many Big Austin Employers will also match their employee’s donations by 100% so it is a great time to donate and help us reach the needed $9,302!
Click HERE to donate or read more.
Please consider joining us and your neighbors to help us make improvements to our beloved Balcones Park! All ages and abilities welcome!
Saturday, March 3rd from 10am-2pm
Sign-up HERE so we will get credit for your volunteer hours towards our Creekside Trail Repair Grant! If spots are full or you forget to sign-up that’s ok come anyway and just check in at the event!
Friendly reminder: Bulk Collection starts for Milwood next Monday, Feb 12!
Please remember to hold back the recyclable items (plastic bins/ridged plastic, etc) and place them in/near your blue bins the following week because everything picked up by the bulk item trucks go directly to the LANDFILL. The only thing that is picked up separately is tires because it is illegal to bury a tire in Texas. According to the Austin Resource Recovery official that we just spoke to the city used to pull out appliances or large metal items and recycle them however the “pickers” have taken over that job so the city no longer finds it cost effective to send out additional trucks for that.
If you have useable furniture, clothes, household items, misc, books, etc – Salvation Army will pick it up for free: https://satruck.org/Donate/Choose.
The sooner your items reach the curb the more chance they have of being repurposed/recycled by someone which brings forward the point of…. Lots of trucks/trailers will be going through the neighborhood this weekend so secure your front yard belongings and lock your doors!
The city won’t pick up any batteries, paints, oil, antifreeze so keep an eye out for our Milwood neighborhood event in the spring that will get those for you!
Also for you compost users out there – Remember to place your bins a little further into your yard than normal on Tuesday!
Construction work is beginning today on the Creekside Trail on the west edge of Balcones Park from Duval overpass to baseball fields, so please plan your route accordingly. It should last approximately 2 months.
This is the result of the grant to get much needed holes repaired on the trail for safety. To learn more about our fundraising needs and volunteer hours needed for this grant visit: click here
An update on the grant fundraising as of 12/20/17, funds raised for the creekside trail repairs grant are now at $2,971, so we are only $6,332 away from what we need to provide our portion of the grant which will cover trail signage, maps, relandscaping of the pool and new trashcans. Want to donate? Look out for our Amplify Austin fundraising event coming up or click here to give today! Every penny you give will be more than doubled through the grant and given to our park improvements.
We are also still in need of approx. 300 volunteer hours in the park so if you can join us for It’s My Park Day on Saturday, March 3rd from 10am to 1pm please do! We will post the registration soon!

Exchange traded fund assets could continue to rise at a rapid pace since younger investors are the biggest users of the low-cost financial products, according to a report.
“Seven out of 10 Gen Y investors — loosely defined as those born in the late 1970s through around 2000 — said they purchased their first ETF within the last 12 months, while just 20% of all investors said they’d done the same,” reports Jason Kephart at InvestmentNews, citing a Cogent Research study.
As the U.S. population ages, some analysts think changing demographics are fueling the growth of ETFs and continued outflows from stock mutual funds. [Are Shifting Demographics Driving ETF Growth?]
ETF sponsors say their investors represent a younger demographic. [ETF Investors ‘Represent a Younger Demographic’]
Among investors with more than $100,000 in investible assets, Generation Y is by far the most prevalent users of ETFs, InvestmentNews reports. “More than 40% of Gen Y investors said they own at least one ETF, compared with just 19% of Generation X investors and around 10% of baby boomers,” it said.
A key reason Generation Y is a big user group of ETFs is that they are most likely to use advisors, who as a group have embraced ETFs, according to the article.

Has Brexit hit home for facilities management yet?
Welcome to Issue 17 of Insights into facilities management (FM), our quarterly update including analysis of M&A activity in the sector and insights into the changing marketplace to keep you informed.
There were continued high levels of deal activity in the FM sector throughout Q2 and Q3 2016 suggesting that Brexit has had little impact for strategic M&A. Whilst many are adopting a business-as-usual approach and maintaining their growth agendas, the full impact of the vote to leave the EU could still have implications for some in the sector.
A total of 30 FM deals were announced in Q3 2016, the highest amount since Q2 2012. The first nine months of 2016 have seen a total of 76 deals, the highest level of activity since 2011. Q3 2016 was 25% up on the number of deals seen in both the previous quarter and the same quarter of 2015.
If deal activity remains strong in Q4, it is possible deal volumes will exceed the 97 recorded in 2015; and we could see activity hit the 100 deals mark for the year, last achieved in 2011.
Interestingly, Q4 could see the 1,000th FM deal since we started recording data in 2007.
Private equity saw its most active Q3 since the start of 2010 with eight deals. The most notable deal in Q3 was energy infrastructure and services investment house, First Reserve Fund XIII LP, acquiring £600 million plus revenue Morrison Utility Services Group Ltd, a Stevenage-based utility network and infrastructure services company, for an undisclosed sum. The deal represents an exit for Bregal Capital and Motion Equity Partners and a secondary buy-out for Morrison Utility Services. The high level of private equity deals appear to reflect investors’ appetite for FM as a broadly defensive sector that benefits from long-term contracts and stable, recurring revenues, as well as the relative strength of the debt market in more uncertain times.
The underlying trend of consolidation has continued undeterred despite the prospect of Brexit. The devaluation of Sterling has in turn provided overseas buyers with a generational buying opportunity. Looking forward, labour supply and supply chain pricing will be key areas of focus for the sector.

You Probably Won’t Like The Updated Winter-Into-Spring Forecast For West Virginia
Last August, the Old Farmers Almanac released their winter weather predictions and the outlook for West Virginia was promising: a winter that was milder than last year.

If you’ve waited years to get your hands on Glastonbury tickets, it sucks having to wait an extra year to stomp in the mud at the Pyramid Stage. Nearly three months into lockdown, it’s no wonder we’re craving the euphoria of a British Summertime music festival.
Live music, mosh pits, dancing with strangers and hugging our friends – these are all things we’ll be able to enjoy again one day. For now, we can bring the festival-feeling home. While it may not be on-par with singing along live to Kendrick Lamar, Paul McCartney or Taylor Swift, we can at the very least make the best of our situation and kick aside FOMO this summer.
Summer 2020 is practically #cancelled in the UK with our most famous music festivals being put on hold due to Coronavirus, the new C-word. If we were living in a Covid-free world, festival season would be well underway, but why do we still have FOMO even though it’s postponed?
Transforming your balcony or garden into a mini-festival might sound like a right mission, but it’s actually quite simple. It’s a great idea for birthday parties, bank holiday weekends, special occasions or as a replacement for whatever festival you’re missing. Of course, we must be responsible and enjoy garden parties with members of our household only. Who knows, your neighbours might get a kick from it too.
Glastonbury and most festivals in the UK are famous for their boho theme: tassels; bunting; flags; colourful patterns; firepits; and more. The boho theme can be brought to life in your garden with very little effort by using things you already have at home. Grab an old blanket and create a make-shift teepee, cut up some old bedsheets and make some DIY bunting, grab the Christmas fairy lights and decorate your garden hedge.
Since the lockdown began, retailers have seen a vast increase in outdoor and garden sales, especially products with a party or festival theme. Wayfair has seen a 20% increase in customer searches for teepees. Opt for a pop-up Teepee as the hub of your festival at home, a stylish statement piece which will also reassure against an unforgiving ‘British summer’ says Nadia McCowan Hill, Wayfair’s Resident Style Advisor.
It’s time to get creative. Glastonbury has lots of cosy little nooks to give wellie-worn feet a rest. You could emulate this by piling up different textured and different patterned cushions, blankets and beanbags. Add in a big icy beer bucket for a refreshing touch.
Invest in a bunch of outdoor candles, lanterns and fairy lights to keep the festival-feeling alive when the sun goes down. This is usually my favourite time during a festival when the transition from day to night begins to happen, that’s when the fun really starts. If you have a tree in your garden, a great idea would be to hang some tea lights from the branches. “Woven pouffes, twinkling lanterns and snuggly sheepskins will take you seamlessly into night time sing-a-longs around a glowing fire pit” advises Nadia from Wayfair.
A garden party is absolutely nothing without its food and drink. Glastonbury is famous for its Indian chapatis, mac’n’cheese and great burgers so lay out a spread of these Glasto-treats on colourful garden crockery and your neighbours will be begging for some over the fence. Invest in an outdoor bar, beer buckets or drinks dispensers to keep your mini-festival goers hydrated.
The final and most important element of the garden party and festival is the entertainment. Throughout the summer, many brands are hosting virtual performances and festivals to help us get through this year. Glitterbox, Junction 2 and even us GLAMOUR UK are just some examples. Hitch up your TV in the garden and rewatch some golden oldies from Glastonbury in the 90s, stream a live music festival on a portable sound system or even just find a great Spotify playlist and stream it from your phone – as long as your vibin’.
Don’t miss out – grab your housemates, turn up the music and bring Glasto-vibes into your outdoor space. Some of these items will give you a head start….

This past summer, the brothers of Phi Kappa Theta teamed up with their new philanthropy organization, Team Walker, for a fundraising walk.
According to senior Steve Stiles, a Phi Kappa Theta brother, in May the brothers of the fraternity, as well as many of their friends and family, met at the Exchange Place in Jersey City, N.J., to raise money for the organization founded by Seton Hall basketball alumnus, Jerry Walker.
“It was really great to get a bunch of brothers to come out to support Jerry and his foundation, especially considering it was our first summer event after finals,” Stiles said.
Many of the current men’s basketball team showed their support at the walk, including new basketball coach Kevin Willard and his staff, according to Stiles.
Hundreds of Jersey City residents and community members showed their support for Walker as well and met up to raise money for their neighborhood.
According to Stiles, Phi Kappa Theta first teamed up with the nonprofit organization in the spring of 2009 when they initiated Jerry Walker into their fraternity.
Ever since, Stiles says the brothers have been very generous, donating large portions of the funds raised in their annual Pirate Queen pageant, which consists of young women who are active in on-campus organizations.
In the pageant, the women give a brief history of the organization they represent as well as what they do within the community. Five finalists are selected after three rounds, and one final winner is announced in the end, according to Stiles.
Stiles said last November they managed to raise over $500 for Team Walker and hope to exceed their donations this year.
Being a former Seton Hall student, Walker is not a stranger to pirate life, according to his biography on the Team Walker website, teamwalker.org. He was a basketball all-star at Seton Hall during the ’92 and ’93 seasons and led the Pirates on three trips to the NCAA tournament. He was also named Defensive Player of the Year in the Big East, where he managed to put up 14 points per game.
According to teamwalker.org, the website Walker created, the athlete followed up his excellent junior year with an average senior year that unfortunately took him out of the running for the NBA draft. He eventually took to overseas to play ball in the American minor league association after finishing college. Walker’s future was really put into perspective when he was hospitalized in 2000 with a hindrance to his stomach, an obscurity that ended his pro basketball career.
This illness made him want to give back to the community that helped him grow as an athlete, according to the site. A few years prior, Walker returned to his neighborhood of Jersey City and with the help of his brother Japer, founded Team Walker in the summer of 1996. It began as a summer basketball tournament to keep kids out of trouble, yet has evolved into a community resource that provides both athletically and academically for hundreds of kids each year.
The brothers of Phi Kappa Theta were inspired by Walker’s determination to help kids in his community and thus wanted to do something to help.
“Walker has vowed to get very involved with his new brothers at Phi Kappa Theta, and in return the brothers plan on using their alumni foundation donations as well as a portion of their various fundraisers this year for new SHU intramural jerseys,” Stiles said.
The fraternity plans on continuing their annual Pirate Queen pageant this year and use a portion of those funds for their new philanthropy organization.
“We will do everything we can to give back to Team Walker and plan on participating in the walk again this year,” Stiles said.
