NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- College grads are getting offered bigger paychecks for the first time since 2008.
Students who will graduate this spring are receiving job offers with starting salaries averaging $50,034 per year, up 3.5% from last year, according to a survey from the National Association of Colleges and Employers.
Meanwhile, employers surveyed by NACE said they plan to boost hiring of college graduates by 13.5% from a year ago.
Business majors noticed the biggest bump, with the average salary offer rising nearly 2% to $48,089.
Within the business discipline, accounting majors received salary offers of $49,022, up 2.2%, while finance majors were offered an average $50,535, an increase of 1.9%.
Offers for business administration/management graduates slipped slightly to $44,171, down 2.3%.
Graduates majoring in engineering -- typically one of the highest-paying fields -- didn't see a big change overall, with the average starting salary down a mere 0.3% but still high at $59,435.
Certain engineering majors, however, saw significant jumps, with electrical engineering majors receiving an average salary offer of $61,690 -- up 4.4% from the previous year. Offers for mechanical engineers climbed 3.8% to $60,598.
But it didn't pay as much to graduate with a degree in civil engineering this year, with starting salaries in that field slipping 7.1% to $48.885.
While the association's survey didn't break out starting salaries for individual liberal arts majors, offers were up a whopping 9.5% to $35,633 for the group as a whole. That compares to a steep drop of 11% last year.

Hawthorne’s Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) made history Friday by landing the first stage of its Falcon 9 rocket on a barge.
The rocket booster landed on a barge in the Atlantic Ocean after launching from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
This is the first time SpaceX has been able to accomplish the feat after several failed attempts. The aerospace firm did manage to land a first-stage booster back on earth at Cape Canaveral in December.
The ability to reuse rocket stages is prized because it substantially reduces costs and could increase the frequency of launches.
The rocket allowed SpaceX’s Dragon capsule to reach orbit. It’s set to arrive at the International Space Station on Sunday, according to a tweet by SpaceX.

Yesterday, Q2 GDP was revised HIGHER than what analysts had expected, a welcome change from so much of the data lately.
Now here's the bad news.
At this level of economic growth, we're probably going into a recession, at least if history is any guide.
Doug Short explains
As the chart illustrates, the latest YoY real GDP, at 1.6% (revised upward from 1.5% in last month's GDP estimate), is below the level at the onset of all the recessions since the first quarterly GDP was calculated — with one exception: The six-month recession in 1980 started in a quarter with lower YoY GDP (1.4% versus today's 1.6%). And only on one occasion (Q1 2007) has YoY GDP dropped below 1.6% without a recession starting in same quarter. In that case the recession began three quarters later in December 2007.
In his 2011 Jackson Hole speech, Chairman Bernanke observed that "growth in the second half looks likely to improve." Our look at YoY GDP percent change suggests that we must indeed see stronger second half growth to avoid the recession that now appears to be a definite risk. If Q3 real GDP shows a continuation of the current trend, the NBER will likely pick a month in Q2 as the beginning of a new recession.

Yeh Hai Jalwa oozes mediocrity wholly and completely.
This silly movie suffers from several maladies including a bad script, lackluster music and obvious lack of chemistry between the hero and heroine.
Raju (Salman Khan) comes to London after learning that R.P.Mittal (Rishi Kapoor), the father whom he never knew and who he thought was long dead, is still alive and a big businessman in UK.
However, R.P. Mittal is not overjoyed to see Raju since his arrival disturbs the rhythm of his well settled life with a loving wife (Rati Agnihotri) and two young children.
Amisha Patel plays the role of Sonia, Raju's lady love, but the busty lady fails to impress.
Rishi Kapoor is fine as the stressed-out father, fearful of being exposed.

Labour proposals to widen the membership of the Financial Policy Committee have been defeated in Parliament.
One amendment to the financial services bill called for there to be six external members of the FPC appointed by the Chancellor rather than the current four.
Another amendment said that as well as being satisfied appointees have relevant experience and knowledge for the role, the Chancellor must also have regard to “ensuring a broad representation of practitioners and consumers in the UK”.
Both were tabled by shadow Treasury financial secretary Chris Leslie and two other Labour MPs. Both were defeated by 10 votes to eight in a vote during the bill’s committee stage yesterday morning. However, the amendments could be re-introduced at a later stage.
Leslie told MPs in the committee that the current make-up of the FPC leans too heavily towards Bank staff, has too few independent members on it and does not represent consumers or industry widely enough.
Treasury financial secretary Mark Hoban said: “In the discussion that we had on Tuesday, Mr Leslie talked about representatives from the banking sector, the insurance sector, the professional services sector, the industrial sector, manufacturing, consumers and others. I think that he is looking for a rugby team to join the FPC, rather than a modest increase in the numbers.”
He added that giving the FPC more external members than Bank based members would undermine the Bank’s responsibility for “protecting and enhancing” financial stability.
Leslie first told Money Marketing he would be pushing for a more diverse FPC last July.
A Labour amendment to make the FPC have regard to the Government’s economic policy, employment and growth was also defeated.
In a Parliamentary debate on the bill earlier this month, Chancellor George Osborne said it would be “a mistake” to prescribe the qualifications of the external members of the FPC but that it was important they have a “broad and current” experience of the financial system. Hoban told MPs this is reflected in the current make up of the FPC despite past criticism that the make up was not drawn from a wide enough base.
Labour wanted the FPC to have six external members alongside the Governor, three deputy governors, two other members appointed by the Governor in consultation with the Treasury and the head of the independent Financial Conduct Authority.

Favourite Urban Decay Palette
I’ve noticed that everyone seems to be in love with Urban Decays Naked palette at the minute, which got me poking around and sorting through all my UD stuff to see what I have and whether or not the Naked palette would be worth adding to my collection!
I came across my Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box which my best friend got me for Christmas. It’s gotta be one of my favourite palettes because there’s such a great mix of totally perfect colours and they’re all really pigmented (as we’ve all come to expect from Urban Decay!) So even if I go weeks without using this I always come back to it
Ransom and Peace stand out and when I wear them people always comment. Shag, Scratch and Underground are natural shades that are great for every day wear but of course adding a little zero makes for a seriously smokey look. I love palettes that give me the chance to try loads of different eye looks :)

Over on Twitter, West End leading lady and all-round good egg Gina Beck (@Gina_Beck) has written an impassioned response to a series of missives that have been on The Stage’s letters pages of late.
The subject concerns understudies performing in place of highly-advertised and well-promoted names in West End shows, triggered by a letter complaining of a matinee performance of Wicked where several of the named leads were unavailable.
Beck tweeted the following (using the twitlonger web service to circumvent Twitter’s enforced 140 character limit), which I hope she won’t mind me repeating in full here:
I’m angered by a recent series of letters to @thestage complaining about seeing understudies in musicals.
Let me give you a little synopsis: Paul Hanson was “disappointed and frustrated” not to see the big stars in Wicked one matinee despite the show not being sold on ‘names’: “If this had been a Saturday night performance, would the show have gone ahead with so many understudies?(five)” he asks. John French goes on to imply that young West End stars have no stamina, as on the same night that three principals were absent from Love Never Dies “round the corner at the Garrick Theatre where all of the main actors were over 60, they were all present”.
No offence, but I don’t think the actors in the farce “When We Are Married” really need the same stamina and vocal health required for such roles as Ramin’s in LND or Rachel Tucker’s in Wicked. Paul Younger goes on to say, “How would you feel if you bought a Wembley ticket for a Take That reunion show, only to discover a tribute band on stage?” – which is not the same thing at all.
A musical is hardly ever just a vehicle for a big star to present themselves to an audience, it’s a group of actors working together to tell a story. I can empathise that it’s disappointing if your favourite stars are absent when you’ve paid to see them and perhaps if producers are going to sell a show on a ‘name’ there is a case for having a refund clause, but it seems highly insulting to the rest of the company working so hard to say you felt ‘cheated’ and that your night was ‘ruined’.
After all, do these writers not realise that stars such as Lee Mead, Ramin Karimloo and John Owen Jones were all understudies once – and the very people Paul Hanson would have been “extremely disappointed” to see.
Personally, I couldn’t agree more. Over the last year or two I’ve seen several shows where one or more of the lead actors has been indisposed and the understudy has gone on their place. I’ve seen Rachel Jerram as Kate/Lucy in Avenue Q, Tiffany Graves as Charity in Sweet Charity, Matthew Goodgame understudy for Noel Sullivan as Danny in Grease (and most of the male regulars ‘act up’ to cover as a result)… Most recently, I went to see Jersey Boys the week before last, and the two key roles of Frankie Valli and Bob Gaudio, among a few others, were both played by understudies (Ben Evans and James Winter respectively, who were both excellent).
And yes, when you first see the paper slip in your programme, or the poster on the way into the auditorium, there is inevitably a twinge of disappointment. I feel it too, even though in every single case I’ve cited above, the show has not been weakened by the change in cast. In fact, in many cases I’d say it has been strengthened, the surge in adrenaline palpable from every single member of the ensemble as they rally round to make doubly sure that the audience gets their money’s worth.
Theatre, West End theatre in particular, is an industry that demands performances day after day after day. “The show must go on” isn’t just a cliché, it’s an expectation, of producers and audiences alike. Without our hardworking alternates, understudies and swings, having to learn not only their own role but other people’s as well, commercial theatre would grind to a halt.
As I say in the sidebar of this blog, this is my personal space and the opinions I express here are mine alone, not those of my employer. However, everyone who knows me at work knows this is an issue I’ve felt strongly about, and have suggested various ways in which we can throw a little more light on the unsung (if you’ll pardon the pun) heroes and heroines of theatre. I even suggested – only half in jest – that it was a shame that none of the major awards had a category for “best understudy”. The major barrier to such an award, of course, is that booking a date for the judges’ attendance is likely to be difficult, to put it mildly…
Following the volume of discussion that has broken out on Twitter after Gina Beck’s initial tweet, I think it’s time that we look at this subject more closely. Watch this space.
Edit: I meant to include a link to this blog post, which both articulates the audiencegoer’s perspective well, and includes comments from other readers that include a long and cogent alternative point of view.


Our short, regional nightmare is over.
According to ACC Sports.com, the Atlantic Coast Conference has made the decision to severe ties with
universally loathed controversial basketball official Karl Hess.
The severance is not simply a reaction to the incident this past weekend, when Hess told a Wake Forest fan sitting courtside that he wants to watch his "Egyptian ass ref a game." That fan, Indian-American and one of the Demon Deacons' biggest boosters Mit Shah, was in conversation with the conference on Monday evening, an additional source told ACCSports.com. Shah has served on the Wake Forest Board of Trustees and is deeply embedded in the athletic department.
Instead, that incident was more of a tipping point. Hess was long under the watch of Clougherty for his past controversial actions, which include the ejection of former NC State players Tom Gugliotta and Chris Corchiani from a game in February of 2012 and an unusually early technical on NC State coach Mark Gottfried earlier this season. He was not scheduled to officiate the 2015 ACC Tournament, a source told Glenn.
There's no word yet on when this decision will go into effect, but it's a pretty safe bet that you won't see Hess calling another Louisville game until the NCAA Tournament, if at all.
Hoops referees are independent contractors, and this move will not keep Hess from blowing his whistle too many times and acting unnecessarily antagonistic towards players and coaches from other conferences.
We'll always have Winston-Salem, Karl.

Thieves have targeted a Unanderra crematorium, making off with almost 500 bronze vases from three separate memorial walls.
Police were alerted to the theft from the Wollongong City Memorial Gardens and Crematorium yesterday morning by Wollongong City Council staff.
Police found 477 small bronze vases - attached to memorial plaques to hold flowers - had been torn off walls and stolen, leading to the damage of 56 memorial plaques.
"They were stolen from three areas of the garden, from two walls of the memorial and also from the ex-servicemen's area," Inspector Paul Allman, of Wollongong police, said.
Lord Mayor Gordon Bradbery said the attack had been planned and intentional.
"They used a hacksaw or maybe just broke them off the wall," Cr Bradbery said.
"The vases are only small, but when you have 477 of them, that really adds up to a considerable amount.
"This was planned, it was not impulsive."
Police suspected the thieves targeted the vases for their value to scrap metal merchants.
A spokesman for one Wollongong scrapyard said bronze could be sold for up to $4.50 per kilogram.
"We already have made inquiries at local metal dealers, as we suspect the thieves will fence the material for scrap," Insp Allman said.

Residents Of A Telangana Village Are Scared Of A 'Female Ghost' That Attacks Men Only
Men in Kasiguda in Nirmal district of Telangana are running away from the village as a female ghost continues to haunts them. The alleged ghost only attack the men and leaves the women in the village. Almost 60 families that live in the village depend upon stone cutting and crushing to earn their livelihood. But a recent video on social media shows that now the village is almost empty as the villagers have left for a safer place.
Most of the houses are locked and no one has the courage to return unless the village is 'unpossessed' of the ghost. The small village that sits amidst lush greenery today looks like a ghost town.
A few people, who have preferred to stay back, go to sleep as dusk sets in. They do not co me out of their homes until sunrise.
Though ghost scare is not new in the interior villages of Telangana, this is the first time in many years that a majority of people in a habitation have vacated their homes fearing attack by a female devil.

Download the authoritative guide: Enterprise Data Storage 2018: Optimizing Your Storage Infrastructure
Storage Networks, the company that pioneered the storage utility concept, is out of business. And only a few surviving SSPs still primarily market storage as a utility: Arsenal Digital, BluePoint Data Storage (formerly Storage Access), and Storage Alliance.
One problem with their business model was that customers were hesitant to give up control of their data. And storage vendors responded to the SSP threat with storage that was cheaper and easier to manage.
Eric Schott, director of product management at EqualLogic, Inc., Nashua, NH, says that customers want on-demand provisioning of storage capacity, but they don't want to relinquish control of their data, making the outsourced storage utility model unattractive.
Customers have spoken, he says: the benefits of SSP services do not outweigh the loss of control and autonomy over their data and operations. "This has created an opportunity for enterprising storage vendors to sell easy-to-use, self-managing storage arrays into the kinds of businesses that may have considered outsourcing," says Schott.
With the advent of lower-cost alternatives to expensive and difficult-to-mange Fibre Channel SANs — including the growing number of iSCSI-based solutions available today — mid-sized companies can afford to create their own scalable storage utility in-house, he continues. "You no longer need to be rich or a rocket scientist to install and manage a single, company-wide pool of storage," says Schott.
Vendors, SSPs Had Competing Interests
Eran Farajun, vice president of business development at Asigra, Inc., Toronto, Canada, thinks that storage vendors viewed Storage Networks and others as just 'big customers,' or distributors of sorts, and didn't change their licensing or pricing models for the SSPs, for the most part. While the SSPs were trying to gain traction, their vendors were busy competing with them for the same customers, trying to convince the customer to buy products directly from the vendor. "So the entire vendor/SSP relationship was skewed from inception, as they both had opposing incentives that we not aligned," says Farajun.
The fundamental service that SSPs were trying to sell — primary disk by the TB — was not something that customers were ready for, and still aren't.
"Look at the traditional outsourcing companies," Farajun says. "They had been doing the management for storage for their enterprise customers for years before SSPs came around and they are still doing it today." But the difference is that the customer 'owns' the technology and the service is sold as part of a wider Service Level Agreement. "At the end, it hasn't affected the vendors at all," he concludes.
As far as storage customers go, Farajun feels they are shy about giving ownership of their primary disk to anyone but themselves or as part of a larger outsourcing contract. However, he says, customers are not shy about letting others take care of their backup/restore problems, only because this is such a problematic issue for customers that they can't ignore it.

“The Australian Defence Force has contracted with Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV) to supply it with an extensive fleet of advanced logistical vehicles,” Rheinmetall said in a statement.
As part of a modernization program, the Australian Defence Force (ADF) would procure “some 2,500 protected and non-protected logistical vehicles from Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles Australia,” the statement said.
The contract covered trucks “in a number of different weight classes in various configurations,” Rheinmetall continued.
They would include medium and heavyweight recovery vehicles, heavy-duty logistical vehicles, integrated load handling systems, as well as medium-sized cargo bed variants with cranes, fuel and water modules and tipper bodies.
Rheinmetall said RMMV had beaten leading European and US rivals to secure the contract in what had been “a hard-fought contest.”

SEC inquiry could focus on DVD sales woes
A heat wave of a different sort has struck Pixar Animation Studio as summer winds down: The Securities & Exchange Commission has launched an informal inquiry after a falloff in projected DVD sales led to a revenue miss.
Steve Jobs’ Pixar confirmed the probe on Friday but declined to say what it was about.
Wall Streeters immediately speculated that it parallels the SEC’s informal investigation of DreamWorks Animation.
Pixar said it had received an “informal request for information from the SEC, as companies do from time to time, and we believe we have fully complied with that request.”
The SEC launched an informal inquiry of DreamWorks Animation after DreamWorks posted a revenue miss due to lower-than-expected DVD sales of “Shrek 2.”
DreamWorks Animation didn’t warn investors in advance, inciting a raft of shareholders to file class-action lawsuits. Among other things, the SEC is looking into stock trading around the time of the disclosure.
Likely hoping to avoid the same fate, Pixar gave advance notice to investors of the second-quarter revenue shortfall, which it attributed to lower-than-expected DVD sales of “The Incredibles.”
Analysts speculated Friday that the SEC could be looking into why the two animation studios didn’t reveal the high rate of DVD returns for “The Incredibles” and “Shrek 2” earlier. They said Pixar could be on better ground since it gave some advance notice.
Prudential Equity Group analyst Katherine Styponias said in a note to investors that Pixar has “historically been transparent and aboveboard in communicating with investors and analysts.”
Also, Pixar’s revenue shortfall was smaller than that at DreamWorks.
Some Wall Streeters said it’s possible the SEC is just covering its bases with Pixar in light of the DreamWorks probe.
Pixar shares fell $1.01 to close at $41.99 in trading Friday, a loss of 2.3%. DreamWorks Animation shares fell 4¢ to close at $25.21.

Just before imaginable the installation of a solar panel or perhaps a solar process at home, it is vital to try and have aSolar Installment San Antonioplan. A lot of people have previously put in solar panels with their homes. You can consider to learn what their experience was or is with all the solar energy program set up prior to going ahead with the installs. Prior to getting started, here are one of the most critical Solar Installation San Antonio things to know
Learn about roofing that could very best assist solar panels
Not all the roof structure is capable of supporting a solar cell installation. The roofing that you may have determines if you will possess a fairly easy time on your installment or even a difficult time. Should you not know the roof covering process that can support solar energy set up, you should think about phoning a specialist that will assess your homes roof.
The type of solar cell which enables perception
There are numerous solar energy panels out there made and made by various producing firms. You should look at the very best best manufacturer to purchase your solar power method. Besides that, you need to explore two dominating solar technologies. The first one is thermal solar powered modern technology and also the next the first is photovoltaic technologies. Determine all of the types and technology before you decide on the very best one for you to put in.
The specialist concerns
Another essential thing to come up with is definitely the Solar energy Installation technician, San Antonio, that you just will pick. There is certainly distinct solar installation technician out there but not every one of them will give you what you require. Solar system installment is a lot more of any home remodeling practice. Unless you choose the best installation technician, your home may wind up in a mess. Attempt locating a top rated-graded firm to do the Solar powered Installation technician San Antoniojob for yourself.

While things are not going as planned for Dominic Thiem at the moment, his red-white-red pursuers in the world rankings at the performance level of men’s tennis are currently showing their best side. With Sebastian Ofner and Jurij Rodionov, two Austrian players stand a chance of winning the ATP title this week. The former reached the final at the ATP 75 clay-court competition in Zadar on Saturday afternoon, and the latter is just one step away from successfully defending the title at the ATP 100 hard-court competition in Biel.
Honor with the Season 3 finale – all good things come in threes?
Fourth-seeded Ower (ATP 137) celebrated his second straight two-set win on the Dalmatian coast in Croatia after two wins from three sets at the start. Styrian brought Italian fifth seed and rookie Flavio Coppoli (ATP 177) to his knees after a 1:43-hour battle 7:5, 7:5. The 26-year-old faced a total of five service losses with seven breaks – five of them in The first set alone, which saw no less than nine losses in 12 matches. The game started with six breaks in a row, Ofner immediately made up for a three-break deficit, then lost a 5:3 lead, but again took Kobuli’s serve to win the set. In the second round, he had to give up quick leads of 3:0 and 4:1, but was able to fend off two break opportunities at 5:5 and then strike again in the twelfth game as a setback.
For Ofner, this is already the third season finale after Tenerife in January and Antalya in March. He lost the first two, so he now has his next chance at his fourth ATP Challenger win after Astana 2018, Puerto Vallarta 2019 and Prague 2022. His opponent on Sunday from 12:00 CEST will be Italy’s Alessandro Giannisi (ATP 261). He’s already played three times against the left-hander, winning his last two matches last year. Ofner is already sure of 50 ATP points, with which he can improve his previous run from 126th in the ranking on April 3, in the direct standings he is currently 121st. A final victory could bring him up to 113th, and only eight points behind Austrian Thiem single workbook. In addition, next week he will have the opportunity to collect more points: Ofner will start in the ATP 125 competition on clay in Sanremo (Italy), where he will open against Frenchman Manuel Guinard (ATP 221).
Rodionov: “Bel looks like a good place to me”
In Switzerland’s 10th largest city, Rodionov reached the final for the first time since his home win at the ATP 100 Challenger tournament in Mauthausen in May 2022. The second seed from Lower Austria (ATP 131) claimed his third two-set win during the tournament, in the fourth match, with a score of 6 :3, 7:5 over Lebanese-born Benjamin Hassan (ATP 325). ). He also won the second comparison between the two after one in Tulln in September 2022 (7:6(5), 6:4). In Biel, the key deciding factor was that Rodionov was able to destroy all four break chances against himself in the game. In the sixth game, Hassan broke for the first time and thus secured the preliminary decision in the first set, only having to block the break on his serve. In the second round, he was only able to defend his serve three times at 1:2, missing a break point at 4:4, but finally got serious with the break down to zero to make it 6:5.
This time Rodionov is no longer naked when he was served, and with that he has the opportunity for his sixth ATP Challenger coup after Almaty 2018, Dallas & Morelos 2020, Biel and Mauthausen 2022. “I think it’s a solid performance today!” , then wrote. on his official Facebook page. “I was able to seize the opportunities presented to me and I am very happy with my first final in a long time! Bale seems to be a good place for me.” Rodionov has now successfully defended 60 points from 80 from the previous year, because last year the tournament was held in the category Challenger less. Success in the final will get him 20 points this week. His opponent on Sunday from 2:00 pm, as in the case of Ofner, is a left-handed colleague: fourth-placed Briton Liam Brodie (ATP 161), who defeated Rodionov’s compatriot Maximilian Neukrist 6: 4, 7: 5 in the round. two. A win would put Rodionov in 125th place in the direct standings, five places off his previous best placing. But he can also score again in the next tournament week: He’s also the second seed at the ATP 100 hard court contender in Lille, France, and will start against Australian Li Tu (ATP 229).
Here are all the results of the ATP 75 Challenge in Zadar.
Here are all the results of the ATP 100 Challenge in Biel.
Here are all the draws for the ATP 125 Challenger in Sanremo.

Lotus F1 protégé Marco Sorensen has claimed his and MP Motorsport’s first GP2 win in today’s sprint race at Sochi from pole position. The Dane remained in control throughout an eventful race to cross the finish line 0.6s ahead of McLaren test driver Stoffel Vandoorne. Williams F1 third driver Felipe Nasr charged to third place.
When the lights went out, Sorensen made a good start to keep the lead whilst Vandoorne stormed from fourth on the grid to run side-by-side with the Dane entering into turn 1. The Belgian out-braked himself and ran a bit too wide opening the door for Sergio Canamasas to move up to second place behind Sorensen. Further down the pack, newly crowned Champion Palmer was sandwiched between André Negrao and Raffae le Marciello. The manoeuvre ended in tears for the Brit who dropped to the back of the field.
At the front, Sorensen was busy trying to keep a comfortable enough gap to Canamasas who in turn had his mirrors full of Vandoorne. Whilst the top 3 remained status quo, behind the action was aplenty firstly with Marciello spinning from sixth place in the last corner and dropping out of the points. Arthur Pic and Nathanaël Berthon kept themselves entertained, and Palmer was on a mission to recover from his first lap incident, slicing his way through the field.
Mitch Evans caught up with the race leaders, the four of them running within 1.7s. With nine laps to go, Canamasas stopped at Turn 13 with electrical gremlins. More drama came after Marciello who was in a hot battle with Artem Markelov and Stefano Coletti sustained a puncture and made contact with the barrier at Turn 7. The safety car was deployed in order to retrieve the damaged car, effectively bunching up the pack. The action resumed with two laps left. Sorensen and Vandoorne kept their positions, but Nasr who had been quick all race surged past Evans into turn 2 to take third and pulled away. Pic also found a way through André Negrao, Pierre Gasly in tow, but the rookie from Caterham was under huge pressure from the charging pair of Kimiya Sato and Stefano Coletti. The Frenchman went a bit too wide, letting pass the Japanese and the Monegasque drivers, and dropped out of what could have been his first GP2 points.
At the chequered flag, Sorensen sustained the pressure from Vandoorne to triumph for the first time in GP2 and offer their first win to his team. Nasr completed the podium with a good result following a heart-breaking Saturday. Evans finished fourth ahead of Pic, Negrao, Sato and Coletti (from P25 on the grid).
Palmer is heading to the final round of the season 256 points. Vandoorne closed in on Nasr, 192 to 200, ahead of Evans, Cecotto and Coletti on 151, 128 and 115 respectively. The final round of the year will take place at Yas Marina Circuit next month.

1 November 2022 News
A leading mental health charity is rolling out vulnerable adult training to staff at full fibre broadband provider Fibrus.
Over 100 Fibrus team members – a third of its workforce – have successfully been trained by Inspire Wellbeing on how to work with vulnerable adults as part of their day-to-day role in customer services.
Covering topics like emotional intelligence and empathy, reflective listening, supportive communication techniques, managing challenging conversations and developing a person-centred approach to customer needs, the training has helped employees identify signs that a person may be vulnerable. It is also designed to improve how staff communicate with vulnerable individuals.
With an emphasis on the importance of breathing space for vulnerable customers, it’s critical for the company to think about an individual’s capacity to make a decision before proceeding with wider conversations about its services, according to Maria Moreno Diez, Senior Specialist in Learning and Development at Fibrus.
“As Fibrus has a high volume of employees who interact with the wider community on a daily basis, we are committed to engaging with the public in an appropriate and compassionate manner,” she said.
“That means it’s important all of our different teams – whether they be customer service, installations or network operation centre engineers – undertake such training. Sometimes it won’t be about making a decision but rather how we handle the interaction with a vulnerable adult, making sure a message is clear and understood.
“We have also undertaken a mental health awareness module and incorporated information about learning disabilities and substance abuse – issues that could impact how a vulnerable person makes a decision.”
Inspire Wellbeing’s Group Director of Care and Support Alex Bunting said it’s encouraging to see Fibrus provide this training to staff.
“Everyone is aware of the rising cost of living and we’re all on the lookout for better deals on utilities that can save us money,” he said.
“A person needs to be in the right frame of mind to make decisions that impact their health, their wellbeing and their finances. Not everyone is able to take in complex information on the doorstep or on the phone and weigh up the pros and cons of a particular course of action.
“It’s encouraging to see companies like Fibrus take their responsibilities as a service provider seriously by taking progressive action to ensure staff are aware of the vulnerabilities that customers, and potential customers, may have.”
Speaking after completing his training, fibre ambassador Daniel McKinless said the training was both vital and worthwhile.
“I am a great believer in treating people as you would like to be treated,” he said.
“The guidance around how to recognise a person who may be vulnerable and to ensure that we are patient and clear in our communication was particularly useful. The training as a whole certainly gave me something to think about when it comes to treating people with dignity and respect.”

Are you trying to imagine a place to stay just for getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and look for some peace in Slovenia?
Well, maybe we have the answer: Kempinski Palace Portoroz.
This is a luxury five-star hotel located along the Adriatic Sea in Slovenia, at the very centre of Portoroz.
In fact, this city is known for its mild climate and spa tradition. A few kilometers from here there is also Piran, an other picturesque city in Slovenia.
Kempinski Palace Portoroz
No need to say that this is one of the best hotel I have ever stayed.
The hotel embodies the principle that tradition meets the new, incorporating the different architectural styles (Art Nouveau, Bauhaus, Art Deco) that have influenced the building from its construction.
From its opening in 1910, it has always hosted important people: royals, actors, aristocrats, artists and politicians. Sophia Loren, for example, and it was not the only one. The name of one of the restaurants is dedicated to her.
After the recent renovation, the charm of Viennese elegance blends harmoniously with modern design and the guest can choose whether to stay into the historic part or whether to be transported in a new dimension, the new part.
In fact, it’s possibile to choose the vintage part that has warm tones and classic forniture, while the other, the new one, is characterised by bright tones and, modern forniture and the image of a big rose in the heads of the beds.
Nestled in a historical park, Kempinksi Palace Portoroz counts 164 big room and 17 exclusive suites. One of them, the Presidential Suite, is the more spacious in Slovenia with its 230 square meters. Impressive, isn’t it?
We slept in the deluxe double room sea view: it was stunning, as you can see below.
And it’s a pet friendly hotel, so the ideal place for animal lovers!
The highlights of this Palace
Regarding the culinary experiences, Restaurant Sophia is the classic and offers very refined Mediterranean cuisine created with local ingredients and taste from all around the world. The wine list is sublime, too. The name of this spot is dedicated to the actress, who usually stayed here in the 1950s.
The Fleur de Sel Restaurant, instead, is a modern restaurant with a terrace overlooking the sea. So this could be the perfect place not only for eating traditional food from Slovenia but also for enjoying a cocktail during the sunset. The menu is a la carte and offers fusion cuisine complemented with Istrian tastes.
The Fuzi (fresh pasta) with Black Truffle (Slovenia ‘speciality) is delicious: a dish with the real flavor of the territory.
Now we have to talk about the magnificent Crystal Hall Ballroom: it is the ideal location for events, weddings and gala balls. Here it’s served the breakfast in order to let any guests see the beauty of this room. Every morning there are selection of freshly baked goods, fresh fruits, warm dishes, specialized salty and sweet food. The crystal chandeliers are from 1910 and looking at them make you think about the balls that the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy could have done here. This and the fairy-tale view over the historical park located in front turns breakfast into a unique experience.
Least but not last, the Kempinski Rose Spa and the pools.
The spa tradition here is dated back to 1300s for the salt and the 1500 square meters paradise here has an elegant environment and includes an indoor and outdoor pool. The last one has salty water so a dive here is a must.
Moreover, there is a Jacuzzi, a sauna area and the treatment zone.
Perfect spot for relaxing a little bit!
Slovenia picturesque cities: Piran and Portoroz
Portorož and Piran, in Slovenia, are only 25 kilometers away from Trieste. Here the sea is beautiful, the kitchen offers wonderful flavors of Mediterranean tradition and the sea salt is used for wellness centers. But Portoroz is also a lively seaside resort that offers numerous opportunities for fun and culture.
In fact, the two cities preserve in their architecture and their identity many traces of an ancient past. The two towns were at the center of disputes between different peoples, starting with the Romans, the Venetians, the French, the Austrians and finally the Italians. This can be seen in the buildings and in the facades.
Nowadays, it is famous for its seaside resorts, its casinos and its nightlife.
Three kilometers away from here is Piran, a medieval town, a real jewel to visit. Its pretty squares and walls from which you can enjoy an enchanting view of the gulf are all to discover. The city became richer due to the salt-sale. That’s why Venice has interest in conquering Slovenia. The streets and squares are signs of this influence.
This zone can be easily reached by car from Trieste, by plane thanks to an international airport very near and by boat from Venice.
If you need more tips, I’m here to help so don’t hesitate to contact me!

Scullers celebrates 30 years of jazz
Allston jazz venue celebrates with concert series through December
Scullers Jazz Club in Allston is celebrating its 30th anniversary starting this September and running through December. The celebration is already seeing top-flight jazz, both familiar and wildly innovative, from musicians revered internationally.
In September, the club has already showcased pianist Christian Sands, and vocalist Kurt Elling alongside Danilo Perez on piano. Next up is sax player Kenny Garrett performing on Sept. 20 and 21 at 8 and 10 p.m.
Expanding the definition of what jazz is and isn’t, on Sept. 27, at 8 and 10 p.m. is The Midnight Hour, started in 2018 by Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest and producer/composer Adrian Younge. At Scullers, they will be joined by Angela Munoz, Jack Waterson and Lauren Oden. Best known for writing the score for Marvel’s “Luke Cage” on Netflix, The Midnight Hour takes hip-hop, R&B and jazz, mixes things up and creates new sounds. Come prepared to move, as Scullers announces, “For this special show, please note the main floor of the club will be standing room only unless you purchase dinner and show packages, which come with reserved seats.”
Continuing with a wide-open approach to what music can be about, Grammy Award-winning singer Macy Gray will take over the club for three nights, Oct. 17 through 19, at 8 and 10 p.m. Using her smoky voice to reinterpret rock and R&B classics until they become as associated with her versions as the originals, Gray has a knack for making listeners rethink where jazz can go in terms of musical exploration. It’s a rare opportunity to hear a great performer in a small club setting. And for those with deep pockets and an ability to stay up late, there’s a “meet and greet with Macy” each night at 11:30 p.m., purchased separately for $100 per person.
On Oct. 25 and 26, The Bad Plus plays at 8 and 10 p.m. This idiosyncratic trio out of Minneapolis will treat people’s ears to a blend of sounds that is theirs alone. What does this mean? Bassist Reid Anderson, pianist Orrin Evans and drummer Dave King recorded “Blunt Object Live in Tokyo,” and on the same CD did their take of Queen’s “We Are the Champions” and the jazz standard “My Funny Valentine.” It’s not a mash-up, it’s precise and a little bit intellectual, but always fearless.
Finally, on this road of taking jazz in new directions, there’s Robert Glasper. On Dec. 13 and 14 at 8 and 10 p.m., Glasper arrives with his trio that uses synthe-sizers as well as traditional instruments, in ways many will find surprising and exciting. Having worked with Mos Def and Kendrick Lamar, he creates music that’s hard to define. If Thelonious Monk and George Clinton were in one man, that man might be Robert Glasper.
Back to the jazz tradition
For those who enjoy music more evidently part of the great jazz tradition, too, Scullers has an array of musicians not to be missed.
Trumpeter Wallace Roney will be in town for one show only on Sept. 28 at 8 p.m. With a sound indebted to Miles Davis, Roney’s music has extraordinary depth. He has an ability to establish a romantic mood with just a few spare, long notes.
On Nov. 8 and 9 at 8 and 10 p.m., Cuban-American Arturo Sandoval takes to the stage with his trumpet. Defecting from Cuba in 1990 while touring with his mentor Dizzy Gillespie, Sandoval has won 10 Grammy awards. Sandoval is impossible to categorize, always open to new sounds and ways of creating music, yet sticking close to what’s classic. On “Ultimate Duets,” his 2018 CD, he collaborated with Pharrell Williams, Ariana Grande and Stevie Wonder.
And what better way to spend the weekend after Thanksgiving than by going to hear pianist Eddie Palmieri? Still going strong as he enters his 83rd year, Palmieri will be at Scullers at 8 and 10 p.m. on Nov. 29 and 30.
For those still in school, more good news: With a valid student ID, Scullers offers a 50% reduction on ticket prices at the door (depending on availability).
It’s quite a line-up this fall, thanks to Jan Mullen, artistic director and general manager of Scullers, who is bringing jazz forward while respecting the traditions that inspire new talent.

Dubbed "Lust in the Dust" by Hollywood wags and, at $5 million, the most expensive film made up to that time, DUEL IN THE SUN stars Jennifer Jones as Pearl Chavez, a stunning young half-breed. After her father's death, she's taken in by distant relative Laura Belle McCanles (Lillian Gish), whose husband, Senator (Lionel Barrymore), is a Texas cattle baron of immense wealth. She soons finds herself attracted to the two McCanles sons: the magnetic hell-raiser Lewt (Gregory Peck) and the educated, restrained Jesse (Joseph Cotten). Since Pearl is presumed to have inherited her mother's hot-blooded disposition, she's tagged as a bad girl by Lewt, who quickly makes a pass at her without success. But with Jesse away on business, she and Lewt eventually become lovers, although she still can't decide which of the two she loves. Meanwhile, Senator is embroiled in a dispute over the invasion of his property by railroad interests, becoming enraged when Jesse chooses the pen over the shotgun as a negotiating tool. Saturated in sexual innuendo, this fabulously overripe, overproduced melodrama, which constantly teeters on the edge of camp, is, more than anything else, the product of David O. Selznick's megalomaniacal desire to top his earlier epic, GONE WITH THE WIND. That said, the acting is very good, as is Dimitri Tiomkin's score, and the crowd scenes are superbly orchestrated.

Theatrical release: December 31, 1946. Daniel Selznick, the son of producer David O. Selznick, said that his father was obsessed with remaking GONE WITH THE WIND and that this film was the closest he came to that desire. In King Vidor's autobiography, A TREE IS A TREE, he wrote about his experience with Selznick. Vidor claims that Selznick rewrote scenes several times and would show up on the set after he had finished filming a scene and ask Vidor to film it again because his rewrite was better. Vidor and Selzick battled constantly during the making of the film before the director finally quit in frustration. William Dieterle and Josef von Sternberg were brought in to shoot parts of the film.

Friars vs Wildcats Matchup at a Glance
- Sport: NCAAB
- Teams: Providence Friars at Villanova Wildcats
- Where: Philadelphia at Wells Fargo Center
- Date: Sunday, January 29th
- Betting Odds: Providence -1, PROV -119 | VILL -105 O/U 139.5
Providence will take the floor against the Wildcats with an overall record of 16-5. So far, the Friars have played 8 games on the road, with a record of 4-4. This season, Providence has been favored to win in 13 games, sitting with a mark of 13-0. For today’s contest, Providence has a betting line set -1 points in their favor.
Bryce Hopkins comes into today’s game as the Friars’ leading scorer at 16.52 points per contest. Not only has Hopkins been key to the team’s scoring efforts, but he is Providence’s top rebounder at 9.14 boards per contest. Behind Hopkins, the team has benefited from the strong play of Devin Carter, who is second on the team in scoring at 13.1 points per game. Overall, he has hit 44.4% of his shots and is adding 4.57 boards per game.
Offensive production has been hard to come by for Providence this season, as they are currently ranked 179th in college basketball at 71.8 points per game. A major reason for low scoring totals is the fact that they have played at a below average pace, and have struggled to knock down outside shots. As a team, the Friars’ 3-point shooting percentage sits at just 34.3%, placing them 225th in the NCAA.
Heading into today’s matchup vs Providence, the Villanova Wildcats will be taking the floor for the 21st time this season and have an overall record of 10-10. So far this season, Villanova has played 10 games at home, sitting with a record of 6-4. For the season, Villanova has been the underdog in 3 games, sitting with a mark of 1-2. Currently, the oddsmakers have the lines set with the Wildcats being +1 point underdogs.
Villanova will be counting on another strong performance from the team’s leading scorer Caleb Daniels who is averaging 16.6 points per game for the Wildcats. Daniels is also important to the team’s ability to score on the perimeter. So far, he leads the team in 3-point shots made. Also key to the Wildcats’ offensive game plan is the play of Eric Dixon who has hit 50.2% of his field goal attempts on his way to averaging 15.8 points per game.
Coming into today’s game, Villanova will be looking from some improved play from their offense. Currently, the Wildcats are ranked 158th at 72.6 points per game. A major reason for their low scoring mumbers is the fact that they tend to work the clock on offense. This year, they are the 662nd ranked team in terms of pace. When looking at their 3-point shooting numbers, Villanova is close to the NCAA average at 35.9%.
Free Spread Prediction: Villanova Wildcats +1
In today’s matchup, our analysis has identified the best bet as an opportunity to bet on a home underdog. Coming into the game, the Providence Friars are the betting favorite with a point spread set at -1. However, we anticipate Villanova putting up a strong fight and benefiting from playing at home and see them covering the spread. It is likely, the the public is going to side heavily with the Friars as the favorite. But, we see this line being set too high and like the value of taking the Wildcats to cover.


@admin Thank you very much!

Ender 3 Max - Marlin Configuration?
I know the Ender 3 Max is new but it looks like things like Cura profiles and firmware configurations are lagging behind. The Cura profile is minor because I think all I have to do is adjust the bed size. However, the firmware configuration is a kind of annoying or is this based off of another configuration I can use?

What could be more exciting and exquisite than alpine skiing!
Head of the international recruiting company Michael Germershausen is from East Germany. In the first year of his residence in Kazakhstan, he was among the first to open the ski season and has introduced the office tradition - to prepare Friday breakfasts for his large and wonderful team. Michael and his family have been living in the CIS countries for about 20 years, at the beginning of 2021 he became responsible for several areas of the company’s activities, including the Central Asian one, so he moved to live from Moscow to Almaty. He, his wife Lilia and the children are very happy - after all, the Kazakh people are very friendly, and nature here amazes the imagination of even sophisticated connoisseurs. Well, there is a lot to do here for fans of extreme sports such as Michael!


After losing his previous 1991 Ford Escort Cosworth Group A rallycar to a fire while racing in the summer of 2018, Ken Block knew exactly what he had to do for 2019: build an all-new Cossie! And for his “Cossie V2,” he’s taken all of the things both he and the fans loved about the original Ford Escort Cosworth and has enhanced them in a big way. Block and digital creative Ash Thorp set out to design a modern interpretation of what a Ford Escort RS Cosworth rallycar would look like if the Escort came out today and the current Ford team that designs the World Rally Championship cars were to design it. The result? The Cossie V2. Arguably the most wild-looking Escort RS “Cossie" ever built.

Ken Block’s 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR V2 builds upon where the original Hoonicorn left off. Taking that car that starred in Gymkhana SEVEN, Block and his team have modified the 410 cubic inch Roush Yates Ford V8 heart of the Hoonicorn to now feature a custom twin turbo setup from Garrett that feeds the boost through a custom Switzer Dynamics intake manifold. The end result? 1,400 horsepower that's fed through the Sadev all wheel-drive system. Designed from the start to take a car that was already crazy and make it absolutely insane, Block has done so. Now the Hoonicorn V2 gets ready for its next video project.

Issue 16-131: Food Services and Drinking Places 2014
July 7, 2016
Food services and drinking places in the province recorded a solid 7.5% increase (to $9.8 billion) in operating revenues in 2014. Canadian revenues were up 5.3% during the year. B.C.’s share of total revenues in this industry (16%) is higher than its share of the population (13%). Tourism, consumer preferences, and possible differences in prices and types of food purchased may all help explain this disparity.
Sales of food and non-alcoholic beverages represent about 84% of all food service revenue in the province, with alcohol accounting for about 13% of the total.

“The largest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity is no longer socialism. It is, instead, the ambitious, arrogant, unscrupulous ideology of environmentalism.” Czech president Vaclav Klaus, quoted by Charles Krauthammer in a 2008 column included in his new book, “Things That Matter.”
Czechoslovakia learned its lesson about socialism the hard way. Since Dr. Krauthammer used this quote in his column, the United States has accelerated on the road to learning its lesson about socialism the hard way, too.
This doesn’t negate former President Klaus’ point about radical environmentalism. A huge subject, so I’ll keep it local for now.
I did buy a thick flannel shirt to keep me warm if the enviro-radicals delay or kill the proposed natural gas Salem Harbor power plant. I know I depend upon National Grid for my own heat, but ...
I once thought that having gas would ensure I had heat during an electric power outage, until I learned that I need electricity to turn on the furnace. Salem uses its plant to generate electricity, which I get from Marblehead Electric, which gets it from MMWEC, which gets it from the electric power grid, of which Salem is a part. So, technically, I might sometimes depend on Salem for the electricity needed to fire my gas furnace to keep warm.
Let me reassure the enviro-rads who are protesting the new Salem plan that even if it’s built, I’ll still wear my flannel shirt so I can keep my thermostat lower and help save Mother Earth. Of course, if everyone had my small carbon footprint, Mother Earth probably wouldn’t have the fever that Al Gore says it has. Or a cold. Or whatever it has now that the globe is no longer warming but instead just changing its climate.
