The Cartier watch which generated more buzz in 2015 must be the Clé de Cartier. The reason why this piece wowed audiences and watch collectors is that the design is really pleasingly surprising and interesting. Even though Cartier is adept to offering innovative designs, the new Clé de Cartier design does not lose a decent elegance even though it is irregularly shaped. Instead of giving a tradtionally rounded case, Clé de Cartier watch come with a slightly ellipse one which is less bold than the rectangular Tank case. Unmistakably, Clé de Cartier watches are quietly conspicuous models. And the emerging of replica Clé de Cartier watches which are made out of different metals as the original models do is a great news to Cartier following.
With the 40mm-wide cases, replica Clé de Cartier watches are standardized as nice dressing wristwatches. In order to meet different tastes, these replica Cartier watches are created into different versions, including full-steel, full-pink-gold and two-tone ones. Undoubtedly, the full-pink-gold models with a mirror-like surface are the token of an utmost luxurious style and regal nobility. The pretty curves of the case with an unprecedented crown gives these replica Cartier watches a entirely novel touch while the classic dial tells that they are unmistakably designed by Cartier. The silvered flinqué sunray effect dial is embellished with vintage-inspired Roman numerals in highly contrast hue. And the blued-steel sword-shaped hands further emphasize on the retro appeal. What gives the dial an unaffected complication is the exquisite guilloche dial center. With basic timing function and date indication, the dial of these replica Cartier watches keep a maximum legibility and balanced aesthetics. Blue details on the dial perfectly harmonizes the distinctive crow set with a sapphire. The pink gold bracelet finished by integrating polished and brushed links just makes these replica Cartier watches purely sumptuous.
These days, most people might be busy in scouring for some perfect gifts since the most important festival of the year is around the corner. Items which are splendid in look and also practical to use must be especially sought-after. Undoubtedly, wristwatches are things of that. Both the quintessential watchmaking virtuosity and the ingenious design concept have been blended together in the small wristwatches. As ladies now are much pickier about what they wear on wrist, something more aesthetic, elegant and dressier is required. The brand-new Cartier Clé De Cartier Women watches are models successfully materializing that. Clé De Cartier may be an unfamiliar name to most individuals since it is a new added collection. And thanks to the fresh yet decent design, these new members are highly appreciately by both celebrities and fashionistas. And replica Clé De Cartier Women watches which interpret the distinctive aesthetics in the same way with the original models should be the most wanted gifts to ladies this year.
Replica Clé De Cartier Women watches, in addition to offering an amazingly innovative design, also provide several versions by combining cases in different material with leather straps in various colors. The rose gold models with the fuchsia-pink alligator skin strap are the most feminine models. These Cartier replica watches are characterized by the distinctively elongated shape which is different from the round or oval one. The warm luster of the rose gold case and the elegantly curved lines just set a graceful silhouette for these Cartier replica watches. And to further underscore a gorgeous accent, a diamond-set bezel is added. Without breaking the brand’s art of dial, these Cartier replica watches come with silver guilloche dials which is embellished by classic Roman numerals and sword-shaped hands. It is such a vintage-style dial that gives these Cartier replica watches an eternal aesthetics. And another detial that could not be neglected is the turnkey-inspired crown with a sapphire. And it is this innovative detail that gives these Cartier replica watches the name Clé De Cartier.
It is really hard to find something nobler than Cartier Tank in the field of wristwatches. Amazingly, maybe because Cartier has a long history of sales to royalty and celebrities, watches created by this French brand always has a regal charm, especially its emblematic watches. Different from the Ballon Bleu de Cartier, Rotonde or Tortue collections which combines Cartier’s ingenious concept with the neoteric style, the Tank line just retains the straightforward classic aesthetics which is attractive to nostalgists. What’s make Tank watches especially continuously uninterruptedly sought-after is that these models has the magic to grace the wrist. Cartier Tank watches are definitely what seem better when they are on wrists. As a result, replica Cartier Tank watches, especially the replica Tank MC also enjoy an incessant popularity.
Replica Cartier Tank MC watches are the revised models of the original Tank design. These replica Cartier Tank watches showcase all defining features of Tank collection, such as rectangular case, flinqué dial with bold Roman numerals, chemin de fer chapter ring, sword-shaped steel hands and facted crown decorated with a synthetic spinel. It is these subtle details that make replica Cartier Tank watches perpetually elegant dressy watches. And to keep distinctive from the vintage Tank models, replica Tank MC watches are further individualized with the sub-dial design. Without breaking the noble and balanced beauty of the dial, the small second counter positions at 6 o’clock with railway-style ring and a steel sweeping hand. These replica Cartier Tank watches are created with four version, including rose gold models with brown dials or silver dial, and steel models with silver dials or black dials. Models with dark dials are not what we can frequently see in Cartier house. Hence, replica Tank MC watches with black dials which feature high-contrast white indices are unavoidably catchy. Not only a masculine feel, but also a neo-classic look has been exhibited.
When it comes to sporty or functionally complicated timepiece, Cartier may not be the first brand that would come into our minds immediately. Instead of sportive-style watches, artistic wristwatches with a noble touch are more likely to be created by Cartier. However, the fact is that this luxury watchmaker, and also the topping jewel crafter, is not isolated from sportive watches. Calibre de Cartier is collection that display “Cartier-styled” sportiveness. Calibre de Cartier watches not only captivate individuals who pursue for mechanical perfection and sportive modernity, but also attractive watch buyers who expect something more masculine in Cartier house. Different from the subtle elegance presented in Ballon Bleu de Cartier watches, Calibre watches interpret robust elegance. And the reproduced replica Calibre watches just meet the demand of Calibre following.
Both the “Cartier nobility” and contemporary chicness have not been compromised in replica Cartier Calibre watches. These replica Cartier watches feature rounded 42-mm wide cases made out of time-honored steel. Steel cases, even though they look less sumptuous than the rose gold or yellow gold ones, are stunning due to their understated charm and neutral hue. Together with the black alligator leather straps in these replica Cartier watches, they correctly define the timeless sporting style. And the slivered dial perfectly echoes with the case in hue. Compared to those in the Ballon Bleu de Cartier models, the dials in these replica Calibre de Cartier watches are rather busy. You may hardly find some signs of Cartier in these replica Cartier watches except the brand signature. The dial is characterized by the rail-style minute scale ring on the flange, the bold Roman numerals in different sizes, luminous hour markers, fresh date window showcased three date together and the small second counter at 6 o’clock. All these elements look fresh and surprising in Cartier models. And different from models with tradition three-hand design which displays time through three central hands, these replica Calibre watches bring the more neoteric design that separates second indication from the hour and minute display.
Definitely, dressing up does not mean to be ostentatious and overly flamboyant. Similarly, flaunting wristwatches are not always proper. When it comes to the decent dressing wristwatches, instead of those burgeoning personalized watches, others with a restrained and sober style would win appreciation. Items emphasizing a contemporary modern accent without losing the elegant temperament would be particularly sought-after, especially amongst some conservative buyers. And replica Cartier Pasha Chronograph watches are items of that. Cartier replica watches are noted for their classy elegance and dignified nobility. And the replica Pasha watches, in addition to expressing the refined temperament, also make a nod to the up-to-date design and topping watchmaking technic.
Replica Cartier Pasha watches come with the entirely stainless steel design to directly show their robust elegance. The steel case measuring 38 mm and the bracelet feature polished and brushed surfaces. That can be regarded as a quiet way for these Cartier replica watches to show their distinctive personality. Compared to the Ballon Bleu De Cartier replica watches with the exclussive nestled synthetic spinel cabochon or the replica Tank watches with the extraordinary square shape, these replica Pasha watches are seemingly indistinctive. But the dial of these Cartier replica watches eliminate that worry. The exquisite silvered guilloche dial in addition to offering classic Roman numerals and luminescent hands, still display a peculiar appearance with three sub-dials in sunken ovals, compact yet noticeable. Three sub-dials bring the dial a tight and proportional look while at the same time realize the chronograph function. And the date window is set at the small second counter positioned at 6 o’clock. Silvered white dial with high-constrast indicies just turn these Cartier replica watches into super readable watches. What’s more, the highly polished diver bezel engraved with a mirror surface and delicate numerals is also notable. However, the crown and chronograph pusher buttons are all embellished with the synthetic spinel cabochon to emphasize the dignified nobility of Cartier.
Cartier is definitely a heavyweight in the field amongst the high-end wristwatches and also jewelry. This French brand, to ladies, may be a topping designer with enchanting jewelry. But to men, Cartier is a prominent watchmaker with refined watches in various styles, from regal to casual, complicated to simplistic, functional to pare-down. Hence, Cartier watches are highly praised by celebrities who need something rather gorgeous and also oridinary watch collectors who head for casually dressy pieces. And the most versatile yet catching Cartier watches recently may be the Cartier Tank MC models. The tasteful classicism is what offers The Tank MC watches with an easy-to-match look while the exclusive originality in design is what reveal the creative artistry and dramatic uniqueness of these models. As a result, replica Cartier Tank MC watches are also acclaimed by oridinary watch buyers as they give a meticulous reappearance of the original Tank MC design.
Identical with the original pieces, replica Cartier Tank MC watches are noted for elegant masculinity and detailed watchmaking art. These Cartier replica watches offer the approximatively rectangular case which is made out of steel or gold. Thanks to these two different materials, replica Tank MC watches can easily emanate the luxurious or understated nobility. And the moderate size measuring 44 x 34.3 mm make these Cartier replica watches decent and impeccable pieces under the cuffed shirt. And the models are only available with the leather strap. But it seems that there is nothing better than the tasteful leather strap to go with these Cartier replcia watches. The dial of the replica Tank MC watches is what blends Cartier’s iconic traits with novel detail. The silver silvered flinqué dial with black Roman numerals and blued steel hands shaped like the sword can easily remind us of Cartier. And what pushes these Cartier replica watches into more contemporary timepieces is the sub-dial design. The dial positioned at 6 o’clock counts small seconds while two blue hands point out hours and minutes.
Cartier’s watchmaking art is what has been widely discussed and deeply appreciated by watch connoisseurs. For one thing, Cartier gives out various personalities with its wristwatches in different styles from timeless elegance to pioneering ingenuity and bold aesthetic. The Tank and Santos De Cartier collections just epitomize Cartier’s passion for innovation and unique philosophy in design. That may be the most persuasive reason for crowds of watch buyers to get the Santos watches. But actually, the Cartier Santos means something more important. The first Santos watch that Louis Cartier made for Alberto Santos-Dumont is the first pilot watch. Hence, Santos De Cartier also represents something specially for distinguished men with great daring. However, when the distinguished style become desirable to the public, replica Cartier Santos watches become really essential.
Replica Santos watches made with rose gold and stainless steel lead a timeless classic fashion trend for men. Unlike the entirely yellow gold design or the sheer steel design, these Cartier replica watches perfectly make a fusion of noble luxury and restrained understatement. As a result, these two-tone models just stay neoteric and also unassuming. The fresh new silhouette and flat design allow these Cartier replica watches to well fit men’s wrists. The case is shaped seemingly rectangular with rounded angles, bold but not odd. The yellow gold bezel mounting on the stainless steel case and the brushed steel link compartments on the bezel are embellished with steel and golden screws respectively. And the dial is the only classic code in these Cartier replica watches. The square silver opaline dial keeps elegant and vintage with the black Roman numerals and blued-steel sword-shaped hands. That not only offers great readability, but also echos the noble essence of Cartier and gives a reappearance of the retro charm in vintage wristwatches. And the date window is set between 4 and 5 o’clock to avoid breaking the classic aesthetics of the dial.
Diamond wristwatches are always being associated with ladies. That is not strange since rare things can excite ladies as the sparkling, artistic and aristocratic diamonds do. As a result, the world of luxury timepieces never lack of diamond-set feminine watches. Cartier, Patek Philippe and Chopard are much- touted watchmakers who are adept at crafting highly jewelled watches. Cartier is the one need to be mentioned since this watch manufacturer is always competent to overshadow other brands no matter in craftsmanship or design concept. One of the crafted Cartier watches accented with brilliant-cut diamonds is Ballon Blanc De Cartier watch. And replica Ballon Blanc De Cartier watches are what satisfy the bigger crown of ladies as these replica Cartier watches can be gained even with just limited budget.
Replica Ballon Blanc De Cartier watches are models that not only express feminine aesthetics and elegant nobility, but also emphasize pioneering and personalized charm ultimately. These replica Cartier watches finish their glittering face with the big solitaire diamond nestled into the curve of the dial and the diamond-set bezel mounted on the 30 mm case which is made out of compacted yet luxurious white gold. Such a design is perfect as it radiate shiny luster even though it is tiny. And the flinqué mother-of-pearl dial with black Roman numerals and blue-steel sword-shaped hands just stresses the feminine elegance of these replica Cartier watches. Well, the most captivating part in these replica Ballon Blanc De Cartier watches should be the strap which is finished with delicately diamond bubbles strung in five rows. White gold cylinders are interlinked and mounted with shiny diamonds to create the jewellery bracelet. That is really unique and cute design. However, there is nothing more fascinating than the combination of mechanical complication and charismatic beauty in these replica Cartier watches. These artworks successfully offer precise timekeeping at the same time when they display marvelous aesthetics. Undoubtedly, these recherche replica Cartier watches with twinkling diamonds are definitely dreamy masterpieces to ladies.
It is interesting that not all watches are gender-specific. You can always find some unisex models like Ballon Bleu de Cartier watches. The reason why Ballon Bleu de Cartier watches can bring both men and ladies in ecstasy is that they are characterized with the pared-down yet timeless elegant design. What’s more, as one of the most staple collection in the Cartier, the Ballon Bleu line has developed watches in different size from 36 mm to 47 mm. Watches in these sizes are modest to go well with both men’s and ladies’ wrists. The replica Ballon Bleu de Cartier watches in stainless steel set with diamonds are what charms them most.
Replica Ballon Bleu steel diamond watches with the 36 mm case are popular amongst both men and ladies. The special silhouette with the synthetic spinel cabochon on the fluted crown makes these replica Cartier watches recognizable Ballon Bleu models. If you decide to shop an understated yet noble piece, these items would be exactly right for you. They properly express luxury and nobility in a minimalist way. These replica Cartier watches are whole made with stainless steel, from the case to the bracelet. Even though the whole-steel design offers these models a composed look, eleven brilliant-cut diamonds set on the dial serving as hour markers loudly claim their luxurious essence and make the silver guilloché dial elegantly decent together with the blue steel sword-shaped hands and the classic Roman numeral. Well, though these replica Cartier watches keep rather simple in design, they are not easy works at all. In addition to the finest workmanship for crafting diamonds and the exquisite guilloché dial, the polished and satin-finish bracelet of replica Cartier watches is also what impresses us. Polished and satin-finish links alternately completing the bracelet to stress the modern and sophisticated look of watches.
My next target watch to shop is the replica Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month Edition “75th Anniversary” watch. I have to admire that I am a IWC replica watches enthusiast. And the reason why this “75th Anniversary” design absorbs me deeply is not only because of its rarity but also due to its outstanding technological detail and permanently elegant design. After being shown at the SIHH 2015, the Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month Edition “75th Anniversary” watch will be reproduced by watch manufacturers at rather low cost. Of course, the IWC replica watches should remain all prominent quintessence of the origninal design.
The Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month watch is limited to just 25 watches in platinum and 75 of each of the red gold editions. The platinum models come with the silver-plated dial and the black alligator leather strap to keep timeless delicate. The subtle dial in this design is what entirely reveals IWC’s prowess in design and function. On the dial, you may find two highly noticeable digital date and month display which is totally fresh in IWC house. And these indicators just keep symmetrical on the dial to make the dial balanced and tidy. That is also what its name refers to. And besides, there are still an hour and minute counters combined in a totalizer at 12 o’clock and another sub dial indicating small seconds as well as leap year. Such an innovative and compact design is definitely what IWC replica watches should go all out to present. IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month watches just spot the hit no matter for daily dressing items to complete the elite style or exceptionally functional tool watches. These novel watches in different versions successfully meet the demands of different watch buyers since the platinum one expresses composed luxury charm while the rose gold on with silver dial exudes classic nobility and another rose gold model with black dial shows masculine and contemporary appeal. I am just waiting for the unveiling of replica IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month watches.


A large residential development in the centre of the Isle of Wight
At the beginning of April, an existing client of MSP Capital came to us seeking a development loan to assist them in completing one of their residential developments on the Isle of Wight.
This highly reputable Developer based on the Island, is known for building well-designed, high-specification, and eco-efficient residential housing to cater for the surge in demand for quality-built housing on the Island.
The site itself is situated in an attractive semi-rural area on the Island, with good access to the main towns, and thus has become a highly sought-after location.
Finding a way to seamlessly continue with their development
The development comprises the construction of 28 residential properties that will provide a mix of 18 private units and 10 affordable homes. Having started the build through their own cash resources, the Developer was seeking development finance to assist them in completing the rest of the scheme.
As MSP Capital were providing development finance half-way through a build, we worked closely with the client to help find a way to seamlessly continue with their project, and were able to tailor a loan of nearly £5,000,000 by providing them with a Revolving Credit Facility (RCF).
Given sales were projected to occur during the term loan, the Developer was confident that based on their own projected cashflow model, sales revenues would be generated as the final phases of the build completed, and thus they would not need to fully draw the full build facility.
Our funding terms were therefore based on the Developers cashflow model, but with the ability to offer a fully funded option were it to needed.
Chris Wright, leading internally on this facility, has said:
“I’m so pleased to be working with this client again. The homes they build are of such high quality and they have always been a pleasure to deal with. I’m excited to see the finished properties.”
James Pink, Director of Captiva Homes describes the process they went through; “This is a fantastic site, delivering much needed housing on the Island. The build out of the project had become more complicated than anticipated due to unexpected delays in receiving revised planning consent and inflexibility from the original finance provider. From the moment we spoke to MSP Capital about the project, they were keen to help and came up with a bespoke solution for us in less than 48 hours. We have worked with MSP before on a number of projects and always been happy with their service but they excelled themselves on this one. Their speed and flexibility have been outstanding.”

Recently I spoke with Chelina Odbert, co-founder and executive director of Kounkuey Design Initiative, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that applies design, architectural, and planning solutions to the needs of communities in the U.S. and around the world. Last week, Kounkuey (a Thai word that means “to know intimately”) was chosen as one of five winners in the second annual Renewal Awards, a project of The Atlantic and Allstate. Founded by Odbert and five other friends at the Harvard Graduate School of Design in 2006, the group has completed projects in Kenya, Haiti, Ghana, Morocco, and low-income neighborhoods in and around Los Angeles.
I spoke with Odbert about the history of the group and her views about what it takes to drive social change. The interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Jamie Elliott has signed a three-year deal that will see him remain at the Club until the end of 2025.
Turning his back on a free agency, the 29-year-old is now set to play out the remainder of his career at Collingwood.
The medium forward reached a milestone 150 AFL games on Friday night in the side’s seven-point victory against Melbourne.
Since his 2012 debut, Elliott has kicked 220 goals for the side, including his recent post-siren goal that won the game for the Pies by four points against Essendon in Round 19. A moment that will continue to be spoken about long after Elliott’s career .
Following only 13 games in 2021 due to injury, 2022 is arguably shaping up to be a career-high season for Elliott. The forward leads the Club for ground-ball gets inside 50, marks on the lead, disposals inside 50 and tackles inside 50.
Collingwood GM of Football Graham Wright congratulated Elliott.
“We’re pleased to extend Jamie for another three years, and to hopefully see him play out his career at the Club,” Wright said.
“Jamie is an instrumental figure in our program. Across 11 seasons he has a wealth of football smarts which is invaluable to the youth of our group.
“The likes of Ash Johnson, Jack Ginnivan, Beau McCreery and Ollie Henry are products of great improvement credit to Elliott’s influence in the forward line.
“In addition to this, Jamie is a player who stands up in the moments that matter, inspiring all members of our program.
“We respected the fact Jamie was a free agent at the end of this year, and we are glad to come to terms that see him at the Club until the end of 2025.”

Gravity has been celebrated across the film industry for it's outstanding achievements in VFX – a real testament to the skills of the production teams here in the UK. London based VFX studio Framestore managed the creation of the ground-breaking visuals, and 3D conversion company Prime Focus World created the 3D effects. We'd like to send everyone on the Gravity production team our congratulations on the success of their work.
Gravity's win at the 2014 Oscars for Best Visual Effects, completes a trio of VFX honours alongside the BAFTA and VES awards. During the Oscars, Gravity also picked up six other Academy awards including Best Director for Alfonso Cuarón, Best Cinematographer for Emmanuel Lubezki, Best Editing, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing and Original Score.
At the Oscars to collect the award for best VFX was Framestore VFX Supervisor Tim Webber, CG Supervisor Chris Lawrence, Animation Supervisor David Shirk and Special Effects Supervisor Neil Corbould. Tim's acceptance speech thanked the Academy for their selection, in a year with such high competition in the category of visual effects.
Tim said, "Visual effects and film-making is all about the team and there’re far too many to thank properly, but I’d like to mention David Heyman, Nikki Penny, Emmanuel Lubezki, all of the shooting crew, Rising Sun Pictures, and the incredible team at Framestore."
Tim continued his thank you speech by saying, "it seemed like a crazy project, so thank you to Warner Brothers and in particular Chris deFaria for believing in it, to George Clooney and especially Sandra Bullock for filling our effects with life and emotion, but most of all to Alfonso Cuarón for having with Jonás the vision of this breath-taking film, the audacity to make it happen and the courage to trust us in having such a big part in making it come to life. Finally, thank you to all our families and the families of the visual effects artists. Thank you very much."
For Framestore, this is their second Oscar, following their win for The Golden Compass in 2008. An exciting time for the team, they've sent out the following message:
"We'd like to thank everyone for all their kind words and messages, from our wonderful clients and neighbouring businesses, to the Prime Minster and NASA's astronauts. We've collected a few of them, along with some of our favourite photos from the night below. Thanks again!"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
February 19, 2021
LITTLE ROCK – Governor Asa Hutchinson is requesting all pharmacies, hospitals and other providers who are in the Coronavirus Vaccine program to schedule extra hours this weekend in order to make up for the lost time resulting from the snow and extreme temperatures from this last week.
“It is critical to get our vaccines out as quickly as possible, and we have to catch up on the missed appointments and slow vaccine distribution over the last week,” Governor Hutchinson said. “We need to move to other categories of 1-B, and the sooner we get more of our 70+ vaccinated then the sooner we will be able to add more Arkansans to the eligible list. If you are a pharmacy with available vaccines, then I am asking you to schedule as many appointments as possible this weekend. If you are in an eligible category, then please make your appointment.”
“These vaccines are very effective against COVID-19,” Dr. Jose Romero, Secretary of the Department of Health said. “The faster we can all get vaccinated, the faster we can protect our population and hold off the variant strains that are circulating around the world and in the U.S. Please join us in making up your appointment this weekend if you had to delay it because of the weather.” “Pharmacists remain on the front lines of the COVID-19 health care response and have been making huge strides in ending this crippling pandemic through their vaccination efforts,” Arkansas Pharmacists Association CEO John Vinson said. “We agree with the governor’s request for all COVID-19 vaccinating pharmacies to ramp up appointments this week, and we will continue to assist them as they push the state forward toward more eligible Phase 1-B groups in the near future. Through survey data, our network of community pharmacies are reporting to the Arkansas Pharmacists Association that they have adequate capacity to double or triple their appointment slots over the next two weeks to reschedule appointments from this week, to schedule new appointments for the future and to respond to the increase in the vaccine supply for Arkansas.”You can find vaccination locations throughout the state HERE.

It’s a wrap for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
According to a new report, she’s ready to file for divorce.
via Page Six:
Multiple sources tell Page Six that “divorce is imminent” for the Hollywood couple, with Kardashian hiring divorce attorney to the stars, Laura Wasser.
“They are keeping it low-key but they are done,” says a source. “Kim has hired Laura Wasser and they are in settlement talks.”
Kim, 40, hasn’t been seen wearing her wedding ring, and Kanye, 43, remained at his $14 million Wyoming ranch over the holidays instead of spending it with the Kardashian klan, who drew criticism for their extravagant celebrations.
“Kim got Kanye to go up there [Wyoming] so they could live separate lives and quietly get things sorted out to separate and divorce. She’s done,” the source continued.
The source added that while Kim has done much in the past to protect and help Kanye deal with his mental health struggles, “Now this divorce is happening because Kim has grown up a lot.
“She is serious about taking the bar exam and becoming a lawyer, she is serious about her prison reform campaign. Meanwhile Kanye is talking about running for president and saying other crazy s–t, and she’s just had enough of it.”
Meanwhile, a separate source says Kanye, who became increasingly uncomfortable and irritated by the Kardashians’ over-the-top reality star lives, “Is completely over the entire family … He wants nothing to do with them,” adding he eventually found their reality show “unbearable.”
The couple worked on the all-white, minimalist home with Belgian designer Axel Vervoordt. They reportedly paid $40 million for the house and spent $20 million on renovations.
The source said, “Kim is trying to get Kanye to turn over the Calabasas house to her, because that’s where the kids are based and growing up. That is their home.”
Explaining, “She owns all the land and adjoining lots around the house but Kanye owns the actual house. They’ve both put a lot of money into renovating it.”
The source added of the advanced settlement talks, “This isn’t the first time they’ve been talking about a split, but this time it is way, way more serious.”
Another source confirmed to us that divorce settlement talks were underway, but they were not yet at the point of deciding how their properties would be divided.
This would be Kim’s third divorce. She previously hired Wasser for her divorce from basketball player Kris Humphries. Wasser, who has also represented Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears and Johnny Depp, was not immediately available for comment.
But the power LA divorce lawyer is well-known to advocate for her clients to negotiate and agree a confidential settlement before any divorce papers are filed in court. Because LA divorces are more public than in New York, this ensures that more of the proceedings remain secret.
Kim and Kanye were married in 2014 in an over-the-top ceremony in Italy. They have four children: daughter North, 7, son Saint, 5, daughter Chicago, who turns 3 next week, and son Psalm, 19 months.
This doesn’t surprise us in the least. They pretty much live separate lives anyway.

A 64-year-old labourer was killed when two plastic bags in which he was carrying about 50 kg of firecrackers exploded, in Old Delhi’s Lahori Gate area on Tuesday morning, police said. Four people were injured in the incident.
Watch What Else is Making News
The explosion triggered panic in the area, where a mosque is also located, but police ruled out any terror angle. A case has been registered against an Old Delhi-based firecrackers trader, who has three licensed shops in Sadar Bazar. Police said they are currently looking for the trader.
“We have registered an FIR at Lahori Gate police station against Mukthar Ahmad. Preliminary investigation revealed that the deceased, Motalip Mirza, had collected the bags from Ahmad’s godown in Gali Zakaria Mohalla Fatak Hawas Khana. Ahmad had asked Mirza, his employee, to deliver the bags to one of his shops. Police found several similar bags in his godown,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (North district) Madhur Verma said.
Police said the incident took place at 10.40 am in Pattewali Gali when Mirza, a native of Murshidabad in West Bengal, kept the two plastic bags on the ground. “Prime facie it appears that the explosion took place due to the pressure in the bags. The large-scale damage is due to the quantity of the crackers. But forensic experts have informed police after examining the spot that there is a possibility the explosion could have been a result of fire,” police sources said.
Two fire tenders that were rushed to the spot took time to reach as the area is congested and has narrow lanes. All five people were rushed to the hospital, where Mirza was declared brought dead. The others are recovering.
The incident was caught on CCTV installed in a nearby shop. The footage shows Mirza lose his balance as the bags appear too heavy. “The impact of the explosion was so powerful that windows were shattered and there was smoke all around. CCTV footage shows people screaming and running in the congested lanes of Naya Bazar, a wholesale market in Chandni Chowk,” a police officer said.
Police said Mirza had been working as a labourer in Old Delhi for the last 20 years. “We recovered plastic shells commonly used to make firecrackers from the spot, but still we need to figure out what the explosive substance inside those shells was. There is no crater at the spot, which means it was not a high-intensity explosion,” said S B K Singh, Special Commissioner of Police (Law and Order of North).
According to investigators, the firecrackers were made by a Tamil Nadu-based company. Explosive samples lifted from the spot have been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory, police said.
“Appropriate legal action will be taken once we will get the final report from FSL,” Verma said.
He added that special teams have been asked to conduct drives in all firecracker shops to check whether or not norms are being followed.
Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who is in Bahrain, called Delhi Police Commissioner Alok Kumar Verma to take stock of the

I can’t wait until the playoffs start. Excitement! High stakes! Commercials that get run into the ground!
I doubt we’ll ever see anything as glorious as “her father is the district attorney!” again, but in recent years we have certainly gotten our fair share of MLB-produced promos that seek to brand the playoffs. This years theme: “Legends are born in October“: The link goes to a video. Here’s the upshot:
The campaign will feature the hit song “Written in the Stars” by Tinie Tempah as the backdrop to signature Postseason highlights and memorable moments from the 2011 season. The Postseason heroics of Derek Jeter, Albert Pujols, Roy Halladay, David Ortiz, Brian Wilson, Aaron Boone, Mariano Rivera, Luis Gonzalez and many more will be featured in the campaign.
Oh, so it won’t be a literal thing about legends actually being born in October. Because, you know. John Lackey was born on October 23rd, and I really don’t think that’s what the folks at MLB are going for.

Twice in the space of a week I’ve run into people very familiar to everyone in the theatre world, particularly in Australia.
Last weekend I was leaving a colleague’s birthday party at 1.15 in the morning and as I walked to my car in a nearby side-street, the person who had just parked behind me noticed my crazy car licence plate (DRAMA) and approached me in the dark for a chat.
If you’re a regular reader of The Drama Teacher, you’ll know I’m a huge fan of the Melbourne Theatre Company’s current production of the multi-award winning play August Osage County and of Robyn Nevin’s performance, in particular. So, it was perhaps fate that made Robyn Nevin park her car behind mine in that street last weekend!
Then on Saturday night, seeing Robyn in August Osage County for the 4th time, I was washing my hands in the men’s bathroom at interval, only to look sideways at Geoffrey Rush beside me, who must have only just arrived back home in Melbourne. Weird place to congratulate someone on winning a Tony Award for Best Actor, but I went for it, anyway!


Leinster 24 Connacht 13
By Rob Murphy at the RDS
This was what might be termed an affordable reality check for Connacht. Affordable because it comes in the midst of a long season. Away points at Leinster are never an imperative in any campaign even when international call ups are hampering the eastern province but Saturday was a reality check nonetheless for Lam’s side. After all the fireworks in October, the spark went missing after just 18 minutes in Dublin.
In so many ways this contest had a very familiar feel to it. Leinster have only once ever notched a bonus point in a victory over Connacht, they always win at the RDS but the panache is rarely a feature in this contest. This was no different, the Stuart Lancaster affect is all over this new look Leinster outfit, defensively sound and supremely well organised. They are patient and explosive at just the right times.
The scrum, the dominance of the contact area and some neat set play moves were all they needed here for a thoroughly deserved eleven point victory yet their first try didn’t come until the 50 minute mark from young winger Adam Byrne after a blatant forward pass was missed by officials. Connacht were creaking at that point, Byrne’s previous play had seen him break from inside his own half on an angled run off quick lineout ball. That had them five metres out and all over the visitors.
That was the game’s decisive score but the key momentum change came in the first half with Connacht leading 6-0 and playing most of the rugby. It had been an explosive start from the visitors. All of the flash and substance that underpinned a four game winning streak, Leinster were all at sea at times and probably fortunate not to concede an early try but once Craig Ronaldson picked up a head injury, Connacht lost their shape and focus.
Bundee Aki came on but his calf injury is clearly hampering him, by half time Leinster had turned around the scoreboard to lead 9-6 despite the sin binning of Sean O’Brien and but for some poor lineout play, they might have been further ahead. That said, Connacht did finish the half pushing for a try and but for a knock on five metres out would have scored all while Peter Robb served a sin bin for a deliberate knock on.
The second half started well for Connacht but they quickly succumbed to some confident and well drilled defensive lines from a Leinster side showing ten changes from the team that lost to Montpellier a week previously and with two from the PRO12 final line up back in May. Connacht by contrast had five from that final but most of their Champions Cup line up from the previous weeks.
Leinster’s two score lead moved into the unassailable realm on 72 minutes when another young winger Barry Daly scored their second try while an impressive Shane Delahunt capped a good display from the bench with a last gasp consolation try for the disjointed visitors.
The one proviso in this tale of a drop off in form is that Connacht had chances even in the second half to turn the game on its head off the back of some high octane breaks. Bundee Aki had the first but passed when he could have taken a tackle, Cian Kelleher made the second but failed to find support inside while Tiernan O’Halloran chose to kick when a pass to Kelleher might have been on. Had even one of those attacks paid off, the balance may have shifted.
It really has been a wretched start to the PRO12 title defence. Six games in and Connacht have just two wins and ten points. They are ninth, eight points off the top six and 13 off the top four. Notwithstanding their game in hand, this is hardly a good position. The one positive to cling to is the fact that in the direct comparisons with the exact same six fixtures last year, they remain just four points off their own championship winning pace, so they’ve had a tough run of games.
They’ll cling to that in the coming weeks. The next three rounds are fixtures which all yielded a maximum return last year. The Dragons away next Friday, Cardiff at home at the end of the month and Treviso in Galway on the first Saturday in December. A 15 point return would be huge but they’d snap your hand off for three wins and even one bonus point for a 13 point haul.
Yet what Saturday highlighted was that there is a way to curtail this Connacht team’s exuberant style and if correctly executed by the opposition, there might not be an ability from Connacht to get a kicking game going in order open up space and turn the tide, or at least there wasn’t here even though they had kicked with great aplomb in the early stages. Lam spoke more of accuracy and mental errors in the post game review, he will understandably dismiss any concerns over the overall gamelan.
The young guns of Leinster will see Connacht as a beatable force now at least until they meet again in the spring while for Connacht, the injury list grows. Front row options are down to bare bones with Denis Buckley, Tom McCartney, Finlay Bealham, Ronan Loughney and Conan O’Donnell all gone while in the backs Aki, O’Halloran, Kelleher, Adeolokun and Ronaldson were all in the wars to varying degrees here. Can they recover and get through the Newport test? We’ll find out on Friday night in east Wales.

In recent months, though, filtering appears to have been used increasingly as a tool in the ongoing power struggle within Iran's conservative camp.
In the weeks leading up to the March 2 parliamentary elections, which were effectively a competition between conservative factions, a number of websites supportive of President Mahmud Ahmadinejad were reportedly blocked by the country's judiciary, which is closely aligned with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Several of the filtered websites were said to have posted comments critical of parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani, who is close to Khamenei and a staunch critic of Ahmadinejad.
Mohammad Saeed Zakeri, who edits a pro-Ahmadinejad website, was detained in the preelection crackdown for purportedly writing an article critical of Larijani. His fellow journalist, Meysam Nili Nili, a writer and administrator with the hard-line "Rajanews" website, was reportedly detained in October after Larijani complained about his writing. (Reports say both men have since been released.)
The unusual effort at online censorship has been criticized by a group of hard-line cyberactivists loyal to the clerical establishment.
In an online statement, the cyberactivists said the selective filtering of hard-line content and the detentions were "irrational." And they warned that it could damage the country's "holy" cyberwar.
The activists also argued that some of the websites and blogs that are being filtered played a key role in 2009's postelection crackdown.
"What is the common reason for the blocking of 'Teribon,' 'Serat,' and 'Bibak'? Does the criticism of one of the establishment's top officials deserve such dealing?" they asked.
The managing editor of "Teribon," Mohammad Saleh Meftah, said his website was blocked after it criticized the filtering of other like-minded sites.
"We had posted an article about the increasing cost of criticizing some officials, which subsequently led to the closure of our site," Meftah was quoted as saying in early March.
It's not the first time that the clerical regime's loyalists have voiced disapproval over such selective online censoring.
In 2010, "Rajanews" protested the blocking of a number of hard-line blogs. But it did so even as it appeared to support the continuing censorship of other sites that Iranian authorities deemed immoral or against the country's national interests.
In a move that could signal a further hardening of Iran's tight grip on the Internet, Khamenei on March 7 ordered the creation of a special cybercenter led by top political and military figures.
Ahmadinejad and parliamentary speaker Larijani, as well as the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and the ministers of telecommunications and culture, are among those who have been appointed to Iran's High Council on Cyberspace.
Iran has also launched a cyberpolice unit and announced that it will launch a national Internet later this spring.

At A Luxury View, you’ll get exactly what the name promises—and so much more! Located on a semi-private lot at the top of Webb Mountain (with an elevation of more than 2,000 feet!), this romantic cabin for 2 overlooks the second highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains, Mount Guyot. Enjoy stunning views of this mountain in any season and from 3 deck spaces—2 covered areas and an open-air balcony with an outdoor hot tub.

Neutron stars, black holes and white dwarfs, collectively known as compact objects, are born when normal stars die. Besides being of broad interest in astronomy, compact objects offer unique tools for the study of nuclear physics and cosmology. The density in the core of neutron stars exceeds that of an atomic nucleus, which makes them the densest stable objects that we can observe in the Universe. When accreted matter falls onto the surface of a neutron star or a white dwarf, it is piled up and compressed, becoming fuel for nuclear reactions. Despite significant progress during the last decades, fundamental questions about the physics of neutron stars, white dwarfs and thermonuclear burning remain unanswered. During this Fellowship, the Researcher will compare recent burst discoveries with numerical simulations performed in collaboration with the Host Group, in order to answer crucial open questions at the crossroads between compact objects and thermonuclear burning. The multi-disciplinary approach of this project, which combines X-ray astronomy, nuclear physics and hydrodynamic simulations, will provide the Researcher with new and valuable skills.

For over 150 years, the vibrant city of Blue Island pulsated with patriotic fervor every Independence Day. The Fourth of July Parade was more than a mere event; it was a cherished tradition etched into the collective memory of generations. Let’s delve into the rich history that made this celebration so special.
The Early Years
In the late 1800s, as the nation grappled with the aftermath of the Civil War, Blue Island emerged as a beacon of community spirit. The parade was a grand spectacle, drawing residents from all walks of life. Volunteer firemen, adorned in their finest uniforms, led the procession. Their dedication to safeguarding the city was palpable as they marched alongside a lively band, their instruments echoing through the streets. Families lined the sidewalks, waving flags and cheering as horse-drawn carriages, civic organizations, and local businesses paraded by. The air buzzed with excitement, and the scent of freshly baked pies wafted from nearby homes.
Fourth of July Themes and Creativity
Each year, the parade embraced a unique theme. From “Unity in Diversity” to “Remembering Our Founders,” these themes resonated with the community. Floats transformed into moving canvases, depicting historical milestones, cultural heritage, and the spirit of resilience. Children clutched paper flags, their faces painted with stars and stripes. The Stockyard Kilty Band, with their bagpipes and kilts, added a touch of Scottish flair. The parade was a tapestry of colors, sounds, and stories—a testament to Blue Island’s unity.
The Decline and Hiatus
As the 20th century unfolded, societal shifts and economic challenges took their toll. The once-thriving parade faced headwinds. Urbanization altered the landscape, and the demands of modern life diverted attention. By the early 2000s, the parade had dwindled, and the last notes of the bagpipes faded away. Blue Island mourned the loss of a beloved tradition.
A Phoenix Rising
But resilience runs deep in this community. Mayor Fred Bilotto, fueled by nostalgia and a commitment to revitalization, embarked on a mission. Conversations with longtime residents revealed their longing for the parade’s return. The mayor listened intently, understanding that traditions bind us across time. The groundwork began—a symphony of collaboration between city officials, local businesses, and passionate volunteers.
The 2024 Revival
And so, in the summer of 2024, the streets of Blue Island will once again echo with joy. The Fourth of July Parade is making a triumphant comeback. The route, winding from 123rd Street to Grove Street, will traverse the heart of Blue Island’s historic Uptown and business district. Floats, bands, and community groups are signing up, eager to breathe life into this storied tradition. As dusk settles, families will gather at Waterfall Park, eyes lifted to the sky, awaiting the fireworks that will illuminate the falls.
Fourth of July : A Call to Unity
Blue Island residents, old and new, are invited to join the celebration. Whether you remember the parades of yesteryears or are experiencing this tradition for the first time, let’s honor our nation’s heritage together. As the bagpipes play and the floats glide by, we’ll weave new memories into the fabric of Blue Island’s history.

The brain-derived neurotrophic factor Val66Met polymorphism affects memory formation and retrieval of biologically salient stimuli.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is involved in memory and the pathophysiology of various neuropsychiatric disorders. A single nucleotide polymorphism in the human BDNF gene (Val66Met) affects memory, and influences Alzheimer's disease and depression vulnerability in a sex-specific manner. Recent animal studies suggest that BDNF mediates memory for emotional experiences in the amygdala, but it is currently unknown whether BDNF Val66Met influences memory processing in the amygdala. Here, we investigated its effect on the successful encoding and recognition of biologically salient stimuli. Forty-seven healthy volunteers memorized and recognized faces while their brain activity was measured with event-related functional MRI. No significant differences in memory performance were observed between Val homozygotes and Met allele carriers. The imaging results demonstrated BDNF genotype x sex interactions in the amygdala during memory formation, and in the prefrontal cortex and posterior cingulate cortex during memory retrieval. Subsequent tests showed a larger contribution of these brain regions to successful encoding and retrieval in male Met allele carriers than male Val homozygotes, whereas no significant differences were observed in females. These results provide preliminary evidence that the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism influences specific mnemonic operations underlying encoding and retrieval of salient stimuli, and suggest less efficient memory processing in male Met allele carriers. Furthermore, the sex-specific genotype effects may contribute to sex-specific effects of BDNF Val66Met on depression vulnerability.

With temperatures slow to warm up, the spring growth on greens has also been delayed. Frosty mornings are keeping soil temperatures below normal. Until we see warmer, consistent soil temperatures, the greens will stay at their spring recovery height. This will also help in the healing of our fall drill & fill holes. This important spring growth, for now, will take precedence over speed.
Another important factor in allowing our greens to wake up properly is the long season ahead. We have a busy 7 months in front of us. The greens need to be healed & strong for the June-October stretch.

Abuja - Some workers have called on the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), to put its house in order to enable it to speak with one voice on issues concerning their welfare.
Those who spoke in Abuja on Thursday, described the threat to split the congress as a "disgrace and disappointment’’ to the country.
Frank Adewunmi, a civil servant, said it would be difficult for Nigerian workers to speak with one voice in the in-coming government if the threat materialised.
He stressed the need for unity in the congress for the workers to achieve a common goal.
Another worker, Emeka Uba, said the threat to factionalise NLC was a show of shame.
"NLC, over the years, has been a platform from which workers mount pressure or try to influence government in one way or the other.
"If NLC, the mouth piece of workers, can disappoint Nigerians this way with their infighting, then, on what platform will the workers stand in making agitations to the government.
"What moral justification does the NLC has now to convey or criticise ills of the society, especially in the forthcoming general elections?
"I think they have lost that locus-standi. I am disappointed.

Uba said that the other groups in the congress had the right to protest if they felt shortchanged, but urged them to reconcile in line with the call by the newly elected president, Dr Ayuba Wabba.
Another worker, Gladys Etu, said NLC was supposed to be seen as a body through which the voices of Nigerian workers were heard.
Three members of the congress - Joe Ajaero, and Igwe Achese and Isah Aremu (who vied as president and deputy presidents respectively) but lost, had since rejected the result and planned to convene another delegates’ conference in Lagos on March 21.
