Five Evanston architects were feted at a special event Thursday evening, culminating a two-year collaboration that resulted in a book that tells the history of Evanston through its architecture.
An engrossed reader
Evanston: 150 Years, 150 Places is a 185-page book, published in both hardbound and softbound editions, by Design Evanston, a 33-year-old not-for-profit organization that promotes good design in Evanston.
The five architects that produced the book to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the founding of Evanston were Stuart Cohen, Kris Hartzell, Heidrun Hoppe, Laura Saviano, and Jack Weiss.
At the book-signing, held in the lobby of the downtown headquarters of First Bank Evanston, each of the authors showed slides of pages from the book and told stories over wine and cheese about the joys and pitfalls of the venture.
Weiss, who is also president of Design Evanston, said the first year was the “nominating year,” when the five met on a regular basis to suggest buildings that deserved to be among the 150 featured properties.
Cohen said it involved “a great deal of negotiating, with spirited discussions about what should be in and what should be out” of the book.
Then each author took on the task of investigating the background and history of 30 buildings and wrote drafts for distribution and discussion by the group.
Saviano had the unenviable task of taking five different writing styles and editing them into a cohesive document, while Weiss served as the graphic designer, assembling contemporary photographs of the buildings.
The finished product lists the address of each building and provides a map to enable readers to find them easily as they drive about the city.
The book is now available for sale to the public through the Design Evanston website.

European charter operators are the least efficient in the world due to a higher rate of empty-leg flights, Avinode managing director Oliver King said here at the EBACE show. On average, the online charter broker said that approximately one out of every three flights (33 percent) conducted by European operators is an empty leg, versus a global average of 29 percent.
Charter operators in Russia/CIS are the most efficient, with only a 25-percent empty-leg rate, followed closely by the U.S. and Canada at 27 percent. Middle East operators have a 31-percent empty-leg rate.
According to King, the abundance of available aircraft across the U.S. accounts for the increased operational efficiencies in North America, while centralized demand centers in Russia means charter aircraft can be based near their customers. In Europe, he said, “There is a pull of demand from the East where, in order to capture business, jets from Europe travel great distances to pick up passengers from Russia, the CIS, Ukraine and Turkey.”
Additionally, European aircraft operators tend to bring their aircraft back to the home base after every mission. This is “in contrast to U.S. operators, who are more likely to float their fleets to increase their operational effectiveness,” King noted. The inefficiencies in the system are central to the thinking of companies such as FlyVictor.com, which aim to give end users the chance to share aircraft or take advantage of empty legs.
European Charter Demand Up
Meanwhile, Avinode (Stand 749) said its year-to-date aircraft charter demand index is “slightly up” in Europe. As of Tuesday, the company’s forward-looking aircraft charter demand index stood at 156.71, up some 34 points since May 14, 2011. Avinode’s demand and price indices are measured against a January 2009 baseline index of 100.
Throughout the rest of 2012, Avinode is predicting an average 2.5-percent increase in charter demand in the “Old World,” with much of this expected growth coming in the form of more chartering of large-cabin jets. By aircraft segment, light jets currently account for around 57 percent of European charter demand, midsize jets for about 20 percent, and large-cabin jets for the remaining 23 percent.
In the meantime, aircraft charter pricing has firmed up over the past six months in Europe. Avinode’s price index on November 1 hovered around 98, but jumped to more than 103 by March. Pricing eroded slightly in April but is now back to levels seen in March and appears to be headed upward at a steady–if somewhat slow–pace.

Music Business/Law Tips - "Producer v. Production Agreements"
The 2 main producer related agreements are: (1) Producer Agreement and (2) Production Agreement. What is the difference? 1. A Producer Agreement is where a producer is hired by an artist or label to produce master(s) for the artist/label. The producer is a “work for hire” which means the producer will not own/control the masters (the artist/label will), but will get paid a fee for his/her work and back-end royalties on sales and licensing of the masters to film/TV/ads. 2. A Production Agreement is where the producer acts like a label and discovers/develops the artist, and signs the artist exclusively to his/her production company for a term/number of albums. The producer normally gets 50% of the profits here (a lot more than under a Producer Agreement situation). The producer will normally cut a few demos and then pitch/showcase the artist to a record company who can partner with the producer to distribute and market the artist. If the producer cannot find a distributor within a certain amount of time the artist can usually terminate. Of course there are other key issues that affect the above like recoupment of costs and songwriting/publishing, so if you are an artist or a producer make sure you have good legal counsel before doing either type of deal.

LETTERS / Readers Have Their Say
TERROR NEED NOT BE FOREVER
Editor -- The message of your front-page article, "Terror: A question of when, not if" (Sept. 7), is a great disservice to the American public. Americans do not have to live in perpetual war, and terror does not have to be a way of life.
While so-called terror experts might in some instances provide useful tactics and methods for defending against potential terrorist acts, they are the last people we should seek advice from on the broader question of what fuels such actions. For one, they have a stake in perpetuating fear and uncertainty. For another, they are illiterate in the history, politics and evolution of terrorist groups.
I agree with most experts that you can never really protect completely against terror. All the more reason to figure out how to dissipate the rage that fuels it. That is not done through wars and wanton destruction overseas, or denial of civil liberties at home.
Rather, the United States should end its heavy-handed tactics in dealing with the rest of the world. In particular, it should respect the cultural autonomy and political and economic independence of the Muslim world, and stop supporting international outlaws such as Israel, and dictatorial regimes that listen more to Washington than to their own people.
It should work cooperatively with the world community and stop undermining the United Nations. Other approaches, especially those followed by the Bush administration, will cause more harm than good.
Editor -- Sunday's story headlined, "Terror: A question of when, not if," suggests that terror is a permanent fixture of American life. This prophesy will only be true if we persist in following the failed policies of an administration that recognizes only one tool: military domination.
We can pour $87 billion more into that black hole and still face more terrorism. Or we could spend those resources to create a better world.
If we spent that enormous sum on providing a clean source of drinking water for every person on Earth (it would really cost quite a bit less according to United Nations experts) we would earn the world's friendship and respect. Or we could spend that amount on renewable technology and wean ourselves of our imported oil addiction.
Either approach would make us far safer than the futile attempt to forcefully subdue all who wish us harm.
The Bush administration's policies are an abject failure. In honor of the victims of Sept. 11, and of Iraq and Afghanistan, let's change course and use our resources to create a more just world. Then perhaps we and our children will not need to face the permanent fixture of terror.
National Steering Committee
United for Peace and Justice
Editor -- I was gravely disturbed by the conclusions drawn in the article by James Sterngold . The headlined idea that "perpetual war" is a "grim new reality of American life" is so fatalistic as to be Orwellian.
It is as if to say that we, the American people, have no alternatives -- we're stuck in a war without end, being told by the government on any given day who is our friend and who is the enemy.
The fact is that things are not hopeless. We have the power to end war. We have the resources and know how to look into the root causes of terrorism, address them and solve many other problems as well.
The alternative to that is the way we view the world through the lenses of Sterngold and the Bush administration, then cowering with our duct tape and plastic sheets.
HOW TO STOP ABUSE OF ANIMALS ON FARMS
Editor -- Thank you for Kim Severson's well-researched article on factory farming ("Humane handling taking hold on animal farms," Sept. 7). I've always felt that if these farms had glass walls, people would be appalled at the atrocities committed toward animals.
As someone who adopted a vegetarian diet for health reasons, I have since been educated on the horrendous conditions the animals endure, and am now totally motivated to promote their ethical treatment.
I am not a hippie or "extreme activist," but a professional who feels compassion and a sense of responsibility for these voiceless creatures. We are all sentient beings, whether we're human, a cat or dog, or a cow or pig raised for someone's next meal.
Editor -- It is wonderful to read balanced coverage of animal rights issues in your paper -- issues that are rarely reported unbiasedly, if at all, in the mainstream media.
It is truly appalling to learn how animals are treated behind the closed doors of factory farms, laboratories, circuses, fur farms and slaughterhouses. Perhaps the most surprising part is that the tremendous amount of suffering inflicted on these animals is 100 percent legal.
Sadly, our government puts the interests of industry far ahead of the interests of animals, the environment or even human health and safety. Even more frustrating for animal activists is the fact that, especially in San Francisco, we can eat delicious vegetarian food, buy safe products that weren't tested on animals, boycott fur, go only to circuses that don't use animals and make other decisions in our daily lives that are small sacrifices for us but have a huge impact on animals.
Recognizing that our consumer dollars make a difference is truly empowering.
The animals have no choice, but we do.
HOMELESSNESS IS SYMPTOM OF LOCAL ILLS
Editor -- Homelessness is not the city's "No. 1 problem" as Ilene Lelchuk's article, "Two decades of failure" (Sept. 7), said was the belief of "frustrated residents." Homelessness is a symptom of the city's No. 1 problem, which is "the economy, stupid," as James Carville aptly put it.
San Francisco needs a mayor who will focus on sustainable economic development. We need to diversify our economic base and welcome clean emerging technologies while ensuring economic equity for our citizens.
Our local economy is too tourism-based, while hotel and office vacancy rates are high. We must be wary of becoming overly dependent on a few economic sectors.
We need to work regionally to attract good jobs with good wages. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the San Francisco economy lost a mind- boggling 22,700 jobs, or 2.3 percent of its workforce, during the 12 months ending in June 2003.
Clearly the economy is the No. 1 mayoral issue.

An analysis of survey data from nearly 800 patients with diabetes provides insight into the effects of the pandemic on diabetes management, including increased difficulty in affording diabetes medications and consulting with their diabetes care providers.
Survey data from more than 700 patients within the US is providing insight into the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on disease management among patients with diabetes.
Leveraging data from a cohort of patients taking part in monthly surveys as part of another study, results of the analysis detail low levels of medication of adherence, financial difficulties, and additional burdens of stress as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Our findings help us to understand the hidden toll the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on those with chronic diseases like diabetes”, says lead author Alexandria Ratzki-Leewing, MSc, from Western University, London, Canada, in a statement. “Community containment measures—while designed to keep people safe—severely disrupted routine care and service delivery. Individuals with diabetes experienced difficulties accessing care providers, medications, and testing supplies. The pandemic has also led to psychosocial stress, such as feelings of powerlessness and a lack of social support. All of these disruptions can compromise optimal diabetes management and, consequently, increase the risk of negative short- and long-term outcomes.”
Presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, the current study was designed by Ratzki-Leewing and a team of colleagues with an interest in describing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients with diabetes. To do so, investigators designed their study as an analysis of data from the Sanofi Pasteur-sponsored iNPHORM (Investigating Novel Predictions of Hypoglycemia Occurrence in Real-world Models) study.
An observational study with more than 1200 patients created with the intent of testing an online question platform, iNPHORM collected data from monthly surveys disseminated over the course of a year. During the pandemic, 20 COVID-19 items were disseminated. Using this data, investigators hoped to develop a greater understanding of how COVID-19 might have impacted this cohort.
A sample of 772 respondents was included in the investigators’ analysis. Investigators pointed out 18.9% had type 1 diabetes, the mean age of the cohort was 52.1 (SD, 14.5) years as of January 2021, 51% were female, the median diabetes duration was 14 (IQR, 15) years, and 22.8% had an A1c greater than 8.1%. Among those included in the study, 9.3% had medically confirmed COVID-19 between March 20220 and January 2021.
Upon analysis, results suggested 24.7% of those with type 1 diabetes and 23.1% with type 2 diabetes reported the pandemic made affording rent or living expenses somewhat or much harder (P=.53). Investigators pointed out 18.8% (T1DM: 21.2%; T2DM: 18.3%; P=.14) reported increased difficulty keeping adequate food supply to avoid hypoglycemia and 22.2% reported increased difficulty in retrieving diabetes medications (T1DM: 24.0%; T2DM: 21.8%; P=.46).
Further analysis of survey responses indicated 17.4% (T1DM: 19.9%; T2DM: 16.8%; P=.16) reported increased difficulty affording their diabetes medications and 16.2% (T1DM: 17.1%; T2DM: 16.0%; P=.40) reported increased difficulty affording testing supplies. Additionally, 11.6% (T1DM: 8.2%; T2DM: 12.3%; P=.82) reported increased difficulty in remembering to take diabetes medications, 12.5% (T1DM: 9.6%; T2DM: 13.1%; P=.44) reported increased difficulty to remember to test glucose, and 12.5% (T1DM: 9.6%; T2DM: 13.1%; P=.42) reported increased difficulty to remember to monitor hypoglycemia.
Of note, greater than 1-in-10 (11.4%) felt less in control of their hypoglycemia (T1DM: 15.8%; T2DM: 10.4%; P=.01) and 16% reported insufficient social support to help manage events (T1DM: 15.8%; T2DM: 16.0%; P=.71). Investigators also pointed out greater than 1-in-4 respondents reported the pandemic made it more difficult to consult with diabetes care providers (T1DM: 26.0%; T2DM: 25.0%, P=.60).
“COVID-19 has caused devastating ripple effects that extend well-beyond infection alone. Not least are the impacts it has had on Americans with diabetes, of whom many are now struggling to maintain control of their disease. This is the first real-world study to quantify these diverse impacts in a general US population with T1D and T2D, and highlights the pressing care gaps caused by the pandemic. We hope our findings provide a roadmap for necessary remedial action that ensures undisrupted diabetes management moving forward. We mustn’t let these patients fall through the cracks.”
This study, “How COVID-19 has impacted diabetes management in the United States (iNPHORM study),” was presented at EASD 2021 and simultaneously published in Diabetologia.

In case you were wondering: Megan Fox sees her relationship with Machine Gun Kelly as permanent. Tattoo-levels permanent.
The actress appears to have gotten a tattoo dedicated to her boyfriend of six months, meaning she now has to be with him forever. (Or else risk getting a scar from the laser removal – not ideal.) This on top of her quotes calling her connection with Machine Gun Kelly one of "mythic proportions", and a "once in a lifetime thing"? Her and MGK are fully all in.
Fans first spotted the tatt while Fox walking the red carpet of the American Music Awards with MGK on Sunday. There, Megan showed off some fresh, new ink on her collarbone that read: "el pistolero". El pistolero, of course, being Spanish for 'the gunman' – or, in other words, Machine Gun Kelly. See below from a perceptive fan:
Other fans piped up too, connecting the fact the tattoo was in Spanish. Of course, true Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly devotees know that the couple met in Puerto Rico, on the set of the yet-to-be-released movie Midnight in the Switchgrass. (I will absolutely be watching this film.)
Though Megan herself hasn't confirmed the tattoo is indeed in MGK's honour, she did chat about them getting body art for each other on the rapper's new album, Tickets To My Downfall.
On the track "Banyan Tree (Interlude)", Megan says "That was four months ago, that we were right here, and I met you." She continued: "That's not possible. You just got my initials tattooed on you, and I got your nickname tattooed on me."
To be honest, the tattoo is an interesting move considering Megan also had her ex-husband and baby daddy Brian Austin Green's name inked onto her lower stomach. It's unclear whether Fox has had the tatt removed but she'd probably be keen to jump on that sooner rather than later given they've been butting heads of late.
Megan recently commented on a photo Brian shared of him in a bunny costume, and their son, Journey, on Halloween.
She wrote: "Why does Journey have to be in this picture? It's not hard to crop them out. Or choose photos that they aren't in. I had a great Halloween with them yesterday, and yet notice how absent they are from my social media. I know you love your kids."
"But I don't know why you can't stop using them to posture via Instagram. You're so intoxicated with feeding the pervasive narrative that I'm an absent mother, and you are the perennial, eternally dedicated dad of the year. You have them half of the time. Congratulations you truly are a remarkable human! Why do you need the internet to echo back to you what should be inexhaustibly evident in the way your children love you?"
Brian hasn't publicly responded to Megan's comments yet, but he since deleted and re-uploaded a cropped version of the snap without his son in frame. All rather awkward if you ask me.

MEF allows for isolation of subsystems within an application. This isolation is useful if you need to change subsystem implementations often, or even at runtime. MEF takes care of the details of loading the subsystems and wiring up all the providers to the appropriate consumers. It's a giant step forward toward the ideal of building an application by concatenating a set of self-contained modules that know nothing about each other.
A significant portion of the code in a traditional application is dedicated to simply gluing things together - glue code. MEF drastically reduces the need for glue code.
If you're just constructing an object so you can open a file or show a dialog, that's not what MEF is for. If you're wanting to write code that uses a generic xyz service but don't want to hard-code a dependency on vendor a or vendor b implementations, that might be a MEF candidate.

An Air Force Veteran in Redding has been reunited with his World War II medals after losing them nearly seventy years ago.
Sergeant Donald Kaufman served in the Air Force during World War II, but until now he has never had the chance to show off his military decorations. Kaufman said in 1946 there was a fire at his mother's and his uniforms and medals were lost.
Kauffman became a member of the veteran's home in Redding late last year. After seeing all his counterparts proudly displaying their medals he decided it was time to reunite with his own.
The folks at the Redding Veterans Home told Kaufman it was possible to have the medals replace and began to help him complete the necessary paperwork. After almost a year the medals arrived at the Veterans center and Kaufman was presented with his long lost medals.
Sergeant Kaufman plans to wear the medals, and says he can't wait for his children to see them.

Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) has gone and raised the stakes in the single-seater class with this lighter, faster, more powerful second generation version of the road-legal Mono R.
Said to mark “a monumental step” in BAC’s history, the Mono R is dripping in weight-saving materials, from the generous application of carbon fibre for the race-inspired body panels to magnesium that has helped construct the chassis and various transmission components.
Tipping the scales at just over 550kg, the Mono R is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre, four-cylinder engine. Co-developed by tuning specialist Mountune, power is up by 35bhp on before and now stands at 340bhp. All of which makes for eye-popping performance.
0-60mph can be taken care of in two-and-a-half seconds which, for the record, is quicker than a Porsche 911 GT2 RS and Ferrari 488 Pista, while the top speed stands at a none-too-shabby 170mph. Most impressive of all, however, is the power-to-weight-ratio: 612bhp-per-tonne!
To make sure you can stop on a sixpence, carbon-ceramic brakes are fitted to each corner. AP Racing has provided the brake callipers, and Ohlins has chipped in with two-way adjustable dampers. The latter is a first for the car and is said to help minimise horrible pitch and dive.
Shown to the world at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK, the Mono R is dominated by a “shark nose front”, a side-mounted Formula-inspired air dam, large side pods, and a huge rear diffuser above which sits a fresh titanium exhaust system. Coupled to a lower ride height, the Mono R has guaranteed kerb side appeal.
Downsides? You will struggle to find space for a weekend bag, and swallowing the occasional fly might become the norm. The biggest of all, however, is the fact that only 30 units are being built and every single one has already been sold. To who? Existing Mono owners, of course.

But last year, everyone was all about Ghostbusters for the film’s 30th anniversary. Still, there’s no wrong time to pick up some cool Ghostbusters stuff, and today we’ve got something for all you sneaker-heads out there.
Nookiee (which has an extra “e” so as not to be confused with the Limp Bizkit song of the same name) has come out with some limited edition Ghostbusters shoes, but if you want to get your hands on them, prepare to throw down some cash. Read More »

Sony’s revived Ghostbusters franchise is expanding into another dimension. The studio is working on an Ghostbusters animated movie, which will arrive after Paul Feig‘s live-action reboot due out next summer. Get more details on the Ghostbusters animated movie after the jump. Read More »
Over the past couple months, we’ve reported on a few cameos being made in Paul Feig‘s reboot of Ghostbusters by cast members of the original 1984 paranormal comedy. However, this hasn’t been something that has pleased us.
We would much rather these cameos were surprises when seeing the movie. But when all the trades, blogs and Ghostbusters fans are spreading the news like wildfire without any regard for spoilers, it doesn’t make much sense for us to try to keep it secret.
And director Paul Feig has succumbed to this same problem as he has just revealed on Twitter that… Read More »
Today marks the last day of shooting for the Ghostbusters reboot from Bridesmaids, The Heat and Spy director Paul Feig. And on wrap day, we’ve just learned of one more cameo featuring one of the stars of the original Ghostbusters from 1984.
Ernie Hudson, who played the newly recruited Winston Zeddemore in both Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II in 1989, was on set shooting a cameo on the last day of shooting for the reboot today. But who will he play? Read More »
If you can remember the late 80s and early 90s, then you’re likely familiar with The Real Ghostbusters, an animated series adaptation of the hit supernatural comedy classic, Ghostbusters. The series continued the adventures of paranormal investigators Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Egon Spengler, Dr. Ray Stantz and Winston Zeddemore, along with their secretary Janine Melnitz and bad ghost turned mascot, Slimer.
There were some considerable differences between the show and the film franchise, and we’re not just talking about the lack of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson. However, The Real Ghostbusters pilot was actually a little closer in style to the Ghostbusters movie. And while it never actually aired on television, it’s available online for your viewing pleasure.

Cool Posts From Around the Web:
When the reboot of Ghostbusters arrives next summer, we’ll be seeing a whole new crew of paranormal exterminators played by Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, and they have some cool new gear to bust ghosts too.
But nothing will ever beat the original gear that Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson used to save New York City. The proton packs are undoubtedly the most iconic part of what makes someone a Ghostbuster, but next in line is the ghost trap. And now a helpful new video shows you how to make your own Ghostbusters ghost trap. Read More »

Earlier this month we learned that Bill Murray, after years of staunchly refusing to return for a third Ghostbusters movie, had shot a cameo in Paul Feig‘s Ghostbusters. So what gives? What finally got Murray to change his mind and return to the franchise? Murray explains after the jump. Read More »

Whether you like it or not, the reboot of Ghostbusters is happening. It’s one thing to simply not want a movie that you love to get remade, but it’s another to be belligerent about the fact that the movie is utilizing four females in the lead role as the title paranormal investigators and exterminators.
While some merely don’t like the talent involved, whether it’s director Paul Feig or stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, sadly, there are many chauvinistic fans out there who simply can’t accept the fact that four women are leading a Ghostbusters movie.
And as a way to fire back at all the haters our there, McCarthy has just posted a picture on Instagram that shows there are plenty more women working on the movie than the four leading ladies. Check out the Ghostbusters reboot girl power below! Read More »

From July 4 to July 7 Tropical Cyclone Neoguri strengthened from a tropical storm into a supertyphoon. NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites passed over the rapidly intensifying storm and provided forecasters with visible, infrared and microwave data on the powerful supertyphoon.
On July 4 at 0900 UTC (5 a.m. EDT) Neoguri had maximum sustained winds near 55 knots (63.2 mph/101.9 kph). It was located near 13.1 north and 141.4 east, about 207 nautical miles (238.2 miles/383.4 km) west of Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. It was moving to the northwest at 13 knots (14.9 mph/24.0 kph).
This visible image from the MODIS instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite at 03:40 UTC on July 4 showed the bulk of the clouds and showers south and east of a clear eye.
NASA's Terra satellite passed over Neoguri as it became a typhoon on July 5. At 01:20 UTC (July 4 at 9:20 p.m. EDT) the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer known as MODIS that flies aboard Terra captured a visible image of Neoguri as it moved through the Northwestern Pacific Ocean. The MODIS image showed a clear eye, and a large, thick band of thunderstorms in the southern quadrant of the storm wrapping into the center.
On July 5 at 0900 UTC (5 a.m. EDT) satellite data helped confirm that Neoguri had become a typhoon in the Northwestern Pacific after it passed Guam. At that time it was centered near 16.0 north and 137.0 east, about 813 nautical miles (935.6 miles/1,506 km) southeast of Kadena Air Base. It was moving west-northwest at 14 knots (16.1 mph/25.9 kph) and had maximum sustained winds near 115 knots (132.3 mph/213.0 kph).
On July 6 Typhoon Neoguri continued to strengthen. Neoguri was located near 18.5 north and 131.4 east at 0900 UTC (5 a.m. EDT) on July 6. That's about 661 nautical miles (760.7 miles/1,224 km) southeast of Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan. It had maximum sustained winds near 120 knots (138.1 mph/222.2 kph) and was moving to the west-northwest at 15 knots (17.2 mph/27.7 kph). The Joint Typhoon Warning Center or JTWC noted that Neoguri was generating very rough and high seas as high as 32 feet (9.7 meters).
A false-colored infrared image of Supertyphoon Neoguri on July 6 at 17:17 UTC (1:17 p.m. EDT) was made at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California using data from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument. AIRS flies aboard NASA's Aqua satellite. The infrared imagery showed very cold, high, powerful thunderstorms around the center of Neoguri's 40-nautical-mile-wide-eye and in a thick band south of the center.
By July 7 at 1500 UTC (11 a.m. EDT), Neoguri had grown into a supertyphoon with maximum sustained winds near 130 knots (149.6 mph/240.8 kph). The JTWC expects Neoguri to strengthen further. Neoguri was located near 21.6 north latitude and 127.3 east longitude, about 246 nautical miles (283.1 miles/455.6 km) south-southwest of Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan. It was moving to the northwest at 15 knots (17.2 mph/27.7 kph). As Neoguri strengthened, the ocean has become more turbulent, and JTWC estimates maximum significant wave heights near 40 feet (12.1 meters).
Tropical storm-force winds extend 210 nautical miles (241.7 miles/388.9 km) from the center, and hurricane-force winds extend up to 60 nautical miles (69.0 miles/111.1 km) from the center.
For a graphic of watches in warnings in effect in Japan, visit the Japan Meteorological Agency's page: http://www.jma.go.jp/en/warn/.
Neoguri is moving northwest and continuing to strengthen. The JTWC expects Neoguri to turn to the north late on July 7 (EDT) and pass Kadena Air Base. A landfall in Kyushu is expected by July 9. The JTWC noted in a July 7 discussion: by July 9, cooling sea surface temperatures, increasing vertical wind shear ahead of the mid-latitude westerlies (winds), and landfall into Kyushu, Japan, will slowly erode the system.

Bitchassness is a disease. It’s the voice in your head that tells you you can’t walk up and introduce yourself to a stranger because you might embarrass yourself. BITCH, IT’S GUARANTEE THAT YOU’RE GONG TO EMBARRASS YOURSELF. IN ALMOST EVERY CONVERSATION YOU HAVE, YOU FUCK UP A SENTENCE OR STUMBLE ON YOUR WORDS AT LEAST A LITTLE. HAS IT EVER KILLED YOU?! NO! SO GO UP TO THAT STRANGER AND SAY “HI”. THE WORSE THAT COULD HAPPEN IS NOT EVEN BAD AT ALL.
In what other situations does bitchassness rear its ugly little head? How about when you’re having a conversation with someone and that person just won’t let you talk, they have to get their whole point across (EVEN IF YOU ALREADY GET IT) and you’re not allowed to talk until they do because if you talk, you’re rude and interrupting them. And then, when they are finally finished with their long winded point, you get to respond for five seconds until that person’s bitchassness starts flaring and they interrupt you. That motor mouth with no regard for your side of the conversation has a strong case of bitchassness.
We all suffer from it, some worse than others, but as responsible human beings it is up to each individual to take it upon themselves and extinguish every ounce of bitchassness from their body, mind and spirit. Get ready to just be a better person all around because I’m going to tell you 10 ways to stop being a bitchass.
- HUMBLE YOURSELF – You better realize that YOUR OPINION IS NOT FACT. Bitchasses are too opinionated. Just because you read something off the internet or in a book, does not mean that it is true. I don’t care if it’s democrats versus republicans or round earthers versus flat earthers. It doesn’t matter what side you’re on, you’re being a bitchass if you can’t listen to the other side’s argument without insulting the other person or interrupting them before they finish their argument. Bitch, this isn’t Jerry Springer. Humble yourself and realize that you don’t have all the answers.
- TAKE ACTION – When someone tends to make promises and never keep them, that’s bitchassness. When they say they are going to do something but never get it done, that’s bitchassness. I KNOW you have a friend who says some shit like, “Oh, I’m gonna go travel across the world one day and make money taking photos of models.” or “Yea, I’m gonna quit smoking after this pack.” or “I wanted to start writing that book, but I’m too busy.” FUCK THAT! Stop saying you’re gonna do shit and DO SHIT, bitchass. Take action! The whole Law Of Attraction thing only works if you mix ACTION with those positive dreams you have up in your head. They never told you that part. You need the action part too, so while you’re SAYING and DREAMING you better also be DOING.
- WORK OUT – I’m not saying you have to work out every day for an hour or be a super star at the gym, but you should at least do some sort of physical exercise every day for at least 20 mins. If you’re telling yourself you can’t work out every day for at least 15 to 20 mins? Bitchassness. The bottom line is that a steady work out routine will help strengthen your body, mind and spirit. It will build your ability to mentally focus, it will make you physically stronger, and it will make you more confident. These are three guarantees, and it only takes twenty minutes a day with nothing but space to do jumping jack and push-ups, and a tiny bit of will power. Even just ten minutes a day will change many areas of your life in a much sooner time than you think.
- STOP MENTALLY BEATING YOURSELF UP – Bitchassness tends to make you think you are a shitty person. That’s why bitchasses are either very quiet or very loud. The quiet bitchasses tell themselves that they are not good enough, and so they withdraw themselves from social interaction. The loud bitchasses also tell themselves they are not good enough, and so they act loud and over confident to cover up the fact that they really feel shitty inside. What both sides of the bitchass pole need to know is that everyone is just as shitty and just as amazing as they are. Or rather, we’re all on this planet just trying to figure things out. Even though it might not seem like it, you have just as much potential as that rich guy driving the Lambo or that hot girl that is getting all the attention. YOU HAVE JUST AS MUCH POTENTIAL AS THEM. So relax. You don’t have to try so hard. And if you’re the quiet kind of bitchass, you can go ahead and try a little harder because what’s the worst that can happen? If you fail, it’s okay. Commit yourself to remembering to “Keep Calm and Carry On”. No one is any better or worse than you. We all have the same potential.
- IMPROVE YOUR LISTENING SKILLS – There’s a reason we have two ears and only one mouth, and that is because listening is the more important skill. The mouth isn’t even the primary source of communication, because body language is 75% of how we communicate. A mouth is basically for stuffing food into, but people love to run their mouths like professors of the universe, using words they don’t know the definitions of and quoting scholars incorrectly. Listen more to what people are saying instead of trying to fill the air with your voice. You can find out a lot more about someone if you listen to them rather than talk to (or over) them. Use your ears for the reason they were made; to gather information about your environment. This is what they were made for and using them right can help you survive and thrive. But no, instead of using their ears right, people like to use their mouths wrong and talk talk talk talk talk.
- REALIZE THAT NOTHING COMES FOR FREE – The sooner you realize that you have to earn a living the better. Even the richest people (unless they were born into it) had to work hard for a period of time before they were able to take it easy and let the money work for them. It’s one of those universal laws that you can’t really cheat. You have to give something in some form, to receive something. You have to provide a service to receive compensation. Even “lucky breaks” that seem like miracles are the result of some action or actions that a person took. If you’re looking to be successful in something, it’s NOT just going to happen one day. You have to be doing something in regard to achieving that success. You gotta work, bitch.
- TAKE MORE RESPONSIBILITY – Stand up and take responsibility for the controllable events that occur in your life. Plan to get to your job or an appointment 30mins before it is scheduled to begin. Keep your house or where you live clean. Do your homework and get that shit out of the way. Wash the dirty dishes in the sink even if you didn’t put them in there. Take the blame if your boss scolds you for something your co-worker did wrong (depending – don’t get fired for some bitchass). The more responsibility you take, the more control you take of your life. It’s not a thing to be afraid of. Responsibility should be welcomed into your life. You can tell how awesome and powerful a person is by how many things they are responsible for.
- MAKE FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT BITCHASSES – I know you’ve heard this one. “Your personality is the sum of your five closest friends, and if your friends are bitchasses, chances are you are one too.” This is the most important step in curing yourself of bitchassness, because the change will happen naturally and with essentially no effort on your part. This is the part that took me the longest to learn, because I have always been more introverted. I like to chill at home and play video games and go out for social reasons only once a week, if that. I still do, but I’ve also made more of an effort to talk to people that are living the life that I want to live, or that are trying to live like me. I still have some old friends that will always be my friends, but now I talk to people that blog and people that make videos and people that do online marketing, and it has increased my rate of success and personal development 100x faster in a year than I did when I was trying to learn things by myself while maintaining harmful relationships and practices. Again, I must say that THIS STEP AND THE NEXT ONE ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT STEPS.
- FIND A MENTOR – This last step and the one above are the most important. They are kind of the same, but finding a mentor is for the people that really want to succeed in a specific area in life. If you want to become a successful blogger or a successful swimmer, you better connect with a mentor in one of those fields. You better start communicating with a professional blogger or a competitive swimmer, because they have been there and have made all the mistakes that you are about to make. They can take to into their giant hands and lift you over all the silly things you would have done if you didn’t reach out to them. Mentors are guardian angels and it’s honestly a blessing when one decides to be your mentor. I wish I wasn’t so stubborn and looked for one sooner. I could’ve saved a lot of wasted time.
- SAVE AND SPEND YOUR MONEY WISELY – I have to add this last one in, because I’m currently feeling the pain of not saving my money. If you don’t save your money, you’re going to come to find that when you really need it, you’re gonna be screwed. Personally, there is this online course that I want to take so that I can learn from a successful mentor about how to make money with online marketing, but I wasn’t smart about saving my money, so now I’m broke and can’t afford to take the course. Save money because there WILL be something coming up in your future that you didn’t think about, and you will need money to take advantage of the opportunity. Basically, you want to have at least a grand saved for that “special thing” you aren’t aware of yet. You don’t know what that thing is yet, but trust me, when it shows up, you’re going to wish you had that grand saved.
That’s it; ten ways to stop being a bitchass. Read them well. Memorize them. Help stop the spread of ignorant people who think they are doctors, of blabber mouths that lower our IQs with each word they let irresponsibly roll out of their eating holes. Let’s defeat this disease by starting with vanquishing the bitchassness within ourselves, because once it leaves us, the people around us will be affected by our change, and they themselves will start to change and bitchassness will soon be a thing of the past.

These Are The Best (And Worst) Days To Get Gas At The Lowest Price
Want to save money at the gas pump? You first need to know the best day to fill up your gas tank.
According to USA Today, the fuel savings app called GasBuddy, did a study of the best day to fill up and the worst day to fill up nationwide and in each state. As far as nationwide goes, Monday is the best day to fill up, while Friday is the worst day.
What makes these days the best and worst days to get gas?
According to USA Today:
"Very early in the week, when gas stations are generally a little bit quieter traffic-wise, is a great time to fill up," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "We generally see more volatility and higher prices later in the week."
USA Today also says that it's best to fill up in the morning on Monday since some prices tick upward in the afternoon. Gas prices are typically higher on Friday because most stations try to make more money ahead of weekend trips that customers may have planned. USA Today also mentioned that people who only fill up their gas tanks on on Friday could save $20 to $30 more year by switching to Monday. That's a pretty interesting fact!
But what about Indiana? What day should you fill up your gas take to save money?
USA Today says that the best day to fill up in the state of Indiana is on Monday, and the worst day to fill up is on Thursday. So make sure you plan accordingly to get gas on Mondays so that you can save yourself some money. Especially in times where gas prices are higher than usual.
Want to know the best and worst days to get gas in your state? Check out the full article from USA Today here.

When two of the greatest creative minds of Tel Aviv decide to collaborate there is a big chance the result is going to be uber cool. That’s what happened here, Comme il Faut concept store and design house joined forces with one of my favorite Israeli artists Jennifer Abessira and created a very Tel Avivian summer 2015 campaign. The collection titled “Barbie wants to be me” is a paradoxical idea based on how women (just like the classic sexy doll herself) are expected to wear uncomfortable clothes in order to look sexy, Comme il Faut fighting this idea and declare that even Barbie wants to feel comfortable in her clothes! According to this campaign us girls will be wearing less tight mini skirts and stilettos and from now on it’s all about Birkenstocks, sneakers and oversized dresses!
Would love to see barbie and Ken in this outfit.

As a gesture of goodwill, Dimapur police have gifted 40 bamboo barricades to Delhi police for traffic management.
Leading towards Atmanirbhar Bharat, earlier on August 4, Commissioner of Police Dimapur, Rothihu Tetseo IPS officially launched the bamboo barricades for Dimapur Police.
Since a very long time, police has been using barricades made of plastic and metal and the idea of using treated bamboo as barricades for assistance in traffic management is a first of it's kind.
Bamboo barricades can be used for multiple purposes such as traffic assistance tool, road safety purposes, and also as temporary traffic signs for informing commuters about condition of roads etc.
It is to be mentioned that this idea of using bamboo barricades was first conceptualized by one of the unit officer, T Henthai Phom NPS, ACP Traffic Zone II in Nagaland.

Linda Saunt > 33 Chancery Lane > London, England > Lawyer Profile
33 Chancery Lane Offices
33 Chancery Lane
- Go to...
As a mediator Linda is accredited by ADR Group for both commercial and family mediation work which enables her to offer a more flexible approach than the standard commercial mediation process.
Hybrid mediation permits the best of both worlds – joint meetings and private meetings can be on the same day or over a few weeks. She meets clients with their lawyers and on their own. The mediation is structured to suit the needs of the parties and the nature of the dispute rather than following a prescribed format.
Linda’s extensive experience as a barrister in litigating financial wrongdoing means that she has an excellent insight into resolving sensitive and complex issues. Her familiarity with intricate and heavyweight cases gives her the ability to absorb material quickly and effectively. This means she is highly sought after by parties needing advice at the early stages of disputes and investigations. When mediating she draws on her litigation skills and knowledge to help parties resolve their disputes without the risk and cost of going to trial.
She is highly regarded for her independence and integrity and as a barrister is often instructed as independent counsel advising on LPP in very high profile cases. Most recently working on Operation Weeting and Operation Elveden.
Linda advocates mediation being used more in cases of financial wrongdoing and particularly where third parties claim an interest in assets subject to a confiscation order. Enforcement proceedings often run into long, complicated and expensive litigation. If those assets have a limited financial value then the time and costs of litigation are hard to justify. With Linda’s assistance as an independent mediator, parties can be helped to find a balanced solution that meets all parties’ requirements.
As a community mediator Linda specialises in inter-generational family disputes in East Sussex.
Linda spent 14 years in the Government Legal Service before coming to the Bar in 2002. While in the Central Confiscation Unit of the CPS Linda dealt with groundbreaking asset freezing cases on behalf of foreign governments including those concerning high profile politicians. As Legal Adviser to the Companies Investigation Branch of the DTI her main areas of responsibility were insider dealing, market manipulation, directors’ duties and illegal trading schemes. Again, her caseload included some of the most high profile cases of the day.
Being registered with the Bar Council for Direct Public Access means that any person (individual or corporate) may instruct Linda directly without going through a solicitor.
Linda acts as independent counsel advising on legal professional privilege and is frequently instructed in cases brought by all the leading prosecuting authorities including high profile/large volume cases such as the investigations into payments for peerages and phone hacking.
Her exceptional expertise is reflected in a busy practice advising on all aspects of asset forfeiture and confiscation, review of confiscation orders (certificate of inadequacy), contempt of High Court orders as well as fraud, money laundering and legal professional privilege.
A particular field of her expertise is cases in which third parties (companies, business partners, spouses) claim an interest in property that is the subject of a freezing or confiscation order.
Linda has appeared for the defence, prosecution, receivers and third parties in major cases before the High Court, Crown Court and Court of Appeal. She is also regularly instructed by professional clients who become involved in asset forfeiture cases.

Creative Ways to Save Money
Are you a saver? If you are, I understand you boast of it. We sure are. Nowadays, individuals are battling to locate means to save money.
I make sure we are all familiar with the conventional methods such as cutting back on going to the films, utilizing much less water and also gas, shopping at the dollar store, clipping coupons, bringing your lunch to function, and so on. Those are easy … and also not actually fun.
Are you looking for innovative ways to save money? Let me offer you 5 imaginative approaches that we have found out:
Classification: Insurance Coverage Technique: Call your insurance broker once a year. Financial savings: Ask if they can find less costly prices. Rates change regularly. So, it is in your benefit to take advantage of cheaper rates. This is the charm of having a broker. They will search for the prices for you. Not only does this save you money, but it saves you time.
Classification: Food and also Amusement Strategy: Soda alternative with kids. Financial savings: My niece and also nephew are at the age where they like to consume alcohol sodas. As you recognize, drinking a great deal of soft drinks is harmful and can put a dent right into your grocery store and supper costs. So, whenever you go out to consume with your kids, provide an option: get a soft drink or $1. Generally, your children will certainly take the $1 and order water instead.

Slow delivery leads to concern about absentee votes
Linda Weaver, a Cold Spring resident, said she began noticing delays with her mail in mid-July. Weaver uses the U.S. Postal Service “informed-delivery” service, which allows residents to see their incoming mail. On some days, she said, informed delivery “says it’s coming but it doesn’t come.”
She initially attributed the delays to the pandemic-induced jump in orders from Amazon, which “has so overworked these guys” at the post office. “So, when it first started happening, I didn’t pay attention to it. But then it became a thing. And I thought, ‘I wonder if this has something to do with No. 45 [President Trump].’
“If my mail comes one day or the next day, I’m not going to get nuts over that,” said Weaver, who contracted COVID-19 in March and hopes to vote by mail in the Nov. 3 general election. “But considering that I want a ballot, and I want to vote in this election, I’m deeply concerned with what’s going on.”
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who started the job in June and is a donor and friend of President Trump, has been instituting operational changes at the USPS, which faces massive financial losses.
Because the changes are happening as Trump claims that mail-in voting will lead to widespread fraud, and his campaign is suing states over expanded vote-by-mail rules for the November election, DeJoy is facing accusations that he is deliberately slowing the mail.
Some of the changes, spelled out in a memo obtained by The Washington Post, included not allowing carriers to work overtime, even if that meant “mail left behind or on the workroom floor or decks.” DeJoy has also been accused of removing mail-sorting machines and street mailboxes.
“Every piece, every day used to be our motto,” one local carrier who asked not to be identified told The Current. “Not anymore.”
In response to criticism, DeJoy on Tuesday (Aug. 18) said he is suspending his changes “to avoid even the appearance of any impact on election mail.” Post office hours will remain unchanged; no mail-processing facilities will be closed or equipment and collection boxes removed; and overtime will be approved as needed, he said.
Cold Spring Mail Moves to Mohegan Lake
Cold Spring’s mail carriers have been reassigned from Garrison to the Mohegan Lake post office “in the interest of service and efficiency,” the U.S. Postal Service said this week.
As of Saturday (Aug. 15), carriers assigned to six routes covering the 10516 ZIP code begin will begin their day in Mohegan Lake, said George Flood, a representative for the postal service, which is overseen by the federal government but funded by postage sales.
“This behind-the-scenes move, which is relatively transparent to the public, is freeing-up much needed space in Garrison to enable us to better handle the increased package volume,” said Flood.
The number of packages handled in Garrison between Aug. 8 and Aug. 14 was 56 percent higher than during the same week in 2019, he said.
Cold Spring’s mail was sorted in Garrison after the post office closed in Foodtown Plaza in January 2014 and was replaced by a trailer. The post office is now in a new space at the Butterfield complex but remains too small for sorting.
Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, whose district includes the Highlands, was one of 131 House Democrats who called for a bail-out of the USPS in the next pandemic relief legislation. The House version of the bill includes $25 billion for the USPS and $3.6 billion to help states with their elections.
“This pandemic has only highlighted the critical service the USPS provides our communities as more people buy groceries, medication and goods online, and look to conduct important activities — like voting — through the mail,” said Maloney.
President Trump opposes any bail-out, saying USPS should raise its rates instead. On Tuesday, the postal service announced a temporary rate increase on commercial parcels through Dec. 27.
The USPS is expected to handle a record number of mail-in ballots for the November election. An analysis by The New York Times of each state’s rules concluded that as many as 80 million people could vote by mail, double the amount in the 2016 election.
To prevent gatherings that might contribute to the spread of COVID-19 during the June 23 primary in New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo allowed anyone to vote by mail. As a result, the Dutchess and Putnam County Boards of Elections received thousands of mailed ballots; it took Dutchess more than a week to count them all.
On Thursday (Aug. 20), Cuomo signed three bills into law that will allow voters to request absentee ballots for the general election based on the risk of COVID-19; request them immediately (rather than 30 days before the vote); and allow boards of election to count absentee ballots postmarked up to Election Day and received by Nov. 10, and those received by Nov. 4 with a Board of Elections time stamp but no postmark.
State Sen. Sue Serino, a Republican whose district includes the Highlands, voted against all three bills, while Assembly Members Sandy Galef (whose district includes Philipstown) and Jonathan Jacobson (whose district includes Beacon), both Democrats, each voted for them.
The USPS had told 46 states, including New York, that it may not be able to deliver mail-in ballots by their statutory deadlines.
In a letter dated July 30 addressed to the state Board of Elections, the USPS warned that “certain deadlines for requesting and casting mail-in ballots may be incongruous with the postal service’s delivery standards,” creating a risk that “ballots requested near the deadline under state law will not be returned by mail in time to be counted under your laws.”
(Dutchess and Putnam will also offer early voting in late October, but Putnam plans to have only one polling place, at the Board of Elections in Carmel. Dutchess will have five locations, including Fishkill Town Hall.)
Greg Williams, a Cold Spring resident who said he is “enormously concerned” about slow mail affecting the election, lived in Seattle for 16 years. Washington is one of five states that have all-mail voting.
Ballots there are mailed to registered voters as part of a package that includes descriptions of the candidates and ballot measures, he said. Voters can return ballots by mail or use drop boxes. The system “makes voting a straightforward, painless and rewarding experience,” said Williams.
“You don’t have to do lots of your own research, although, of course that helps; there’s no waiting in line; there’s no having to schedule it around work,” he said. “Why we shouldn’t do that everywhere in the United States, I can’t imagine.”
