Secret of Mana 2 Could Happen If Fans Demand It
Last month Square Enix announced the Seiken Densetsu Collection for the Nintendo Switch in Japan. There was no English version announced, however the collection’s developer doesn’t think this is outside the realm of possibility. According to a couple of translated Twitter posts, Secret of Mana 2, along with the rest of the Seiken Densetsu Collection, could see an English release- if the fans voice their interest.
Naoki Horii is the President of M2, the company responsible for bringing the Seiken Densetsu Collection to the Nintendo Switch. In the aforementioned Twitter posts, he clarified that “Square would have” the English version, if indeed such a thing exists. And they might have it! Legend has it that Square was making plans to release the Secret of Mana sequel out west back in the 90s, only cancelling when they ran into technical problems.
On the other hand, if there is no English translation, M2 could conceivably make one. Horii believes that “I don’t think it’s impossible to make one, but we haven’t looked into it.” He continues by suggesting that an English version could happen if fans “show Square Enix [their] enthusiasm.” Twenty years ago this kind of thing might have been a pipe dream, but thanks to Twitter, fans can do exactly that. It’s unclear whether such a campaign could change the gaming giant’s mind about a western release, but at least the platform to do so exists.


Joseph Weisberg’s book Russia Upside Down started with a lecture he never gave. The Americans showrunner worked briefly in the CIA, where his fascination with, and research about, Russia began. However, the lecture would be on counterintelligence, which wasn’t his field of expertise.
Instead of throwing away his Russia notes for the canceled class, he decided to write a book about it. And his stance is clear: Russia is not as bad as we think it is.
“I read this book by a guy who had been a KGB officer and his book was about him and his friends [in the] KGB,” he tells Molly Jong-Fast on this bonus episode of The New Abnormal. “And they sounded exactly like me and my friends from the CIA.”

By DAPO OLAWUNI
The Lagos State Government has scrapped the collection of Wharf Landing Fees on imported vehicles at the port, DAILY TREND NEWS can exclusively report.
Containerized cargoes however are not exempted as they are still required to continue paying the fee.
This is coming on the heels of series of complaints from importers and clearing agents about multiple taxation on imported vehicles.
Apart from the Warf Landing Collection Agency collecting monies on imported cars, the Lagos State Government had recently deployed yet another team called; Lagos state Motor vehicle administration Agency (MVAA) to collect fees on imported cars.
The officials of the MVAA are mostly seen on port access roads, especially at Mile 2 Bus Stop, harassing agents and vehicle drivers, and issue what is called Temporary Vehicle Tag (TVT)
Apparently inundated by complaints from its members, our correspondent gathered that the National Secretariat of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) had intervened and forced the government to scrap wharf landing fees collection, while MVAA payment would continue.
In a forwarded message to ANLCA members, it’s National Secretary, Alhaji Babatunde Mukaila said that both the Wharf Landing Fees Collection Agency and the MVAA are government agencies with the same mandate, hence they have collapsed their fees into one.
He however said that wharf landing fees would still be paid on containerized cargoes
Mukaila said “ANLCA headquarters intervention between Wharf Landing fee Authority and Lagos state Motor vehicle administration Agency(MVAA) has resulted to harmonisation of the two agency mandates as it relates to import Vehicles Clearance out of Nigeria Ports.
“Members are enjoined to note that Only Containerised Cargo are to pay wharf Landing fee,while unpacked Roll on roll off(Roro)Vehicles pays for MVAA. Issue of double taxation is hereby resolved”
In a letter dated 26th of August 2021, signed by one Ogunlenu Musiliu A. on behalf of the Lagos State Government, the information was conveyed, informing ANLCA National Secretariat that both agencies are now collaborating for seamless operation.
The letter sighted by our correspondent states “I am directed to inform you that Lagos State Wharf Landing Fees Collecting Authority and Motor Vehicle Administration Agency have decided to collaborate to enable us have a seamless operation in the joint sales of Wharf Landing tickets and Temporary Vehicle Tag (TVT) at various points prescribed by Government”
“This Agreement was reached for government to have a singular point of payment fer the fees”
“This infarmation is necessary to enable you, as the National body informs (sic) your members about the synergy and the new arrangement since both Agencies are owned by government” the letter reads in part.
When he was contacted however, the Public Relations Officer of Wharf Landing Collection Agency, Mr Michael Okpithe debunked the report, saying that the wharf landing fees have not been scrapped but that both agencies are working together to harmonise their collections
He noted that the wharf landing Collection agents are now at the same collection points with the MVAA.
“Wharf Landing Fees have not been scrapped, it is a collection that is backed by law, what happened is that we decided to collaborate with the MVAA since we are both government agencies”
The MVAA according to Okpithe is designed to create a database for vehicles imported into the state, and in case of theft, be able to trace the vehicle.
According to him, the MVAA payment is renewable monthly, after two months it would no longer be renewed while the vehicle owner would be asked to compulsorily register his vehicle.

Turkey urged to broadcast Eurovision following TV station cancellation over lesbian kiss
Turkey’s official television station has been urged by human rights groups to broadcast the final of the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday, following reports that it had cancelled the broadcast due to a lesbian kiss by Finland’s act on Thursday.
Following the second set of semi-finals last night, Finland’s Eurovision entrant Krista Siegfrids found herself with a place in the final, following her performance of her pro-equal marriage song, which included a lesbian kiss.
Siegfrids insisted that her song ‘Marry Me’ was not political, but did go on to say that she did want to make a statement about the lack of legal recognition of same-sex marriages in Finland. Organisers forbid “lyrics, speeches, gestures of a political or similar nature”.
When an interviewer asked how Siegfrids thought viewers in countries such as Belaruse and Azerbaijan might react to her performance she said: “I think that everybody should have the right to do that. It’s no big deal, it’s not big deal to me. It’s a show, and it’s about love and love is beautiful in any form.”
The TRT station claimed that the cancellation of the broadcast was due to low ratings, but last year a quarter of Turkish households tuned in to watch.
All Out has launched a petition urging the President of the European Broadcasting Union to address the issue, and to ensure that Eurovision would “uphold the values of unity and love”, as opposed to censoring Krista’s performance.
“All Out members are not fooled by Turkey’s weak excuse,” Andre Banks Co-founder and Executive Director of All Out said, “It is clear to the world that Turkey pulled the popular Eurovision show simply because two women expressed love through a kiss. Nothing could be more harmless than a kiss between two people.”
“The Eurovision kiss was not revolutionary. Turkish people already saw a kiss between two women on television. Two women kissed during the 2012 Olympics and that kiss was broadcast on Turkish TV,” Andre Banks said, “The world kept turning and the sun came up the next day. Love should never be feared, it is censorship we should fear.”

Most kids look forward to Halloween because of all the free candy. Dierks looked forward to it because of.... explosives? In an article on GACTV.com, DB discusses his past Halloween tradition of blowing things up and what he plans to do this year:
For Dierks Bentley, Halloween was another holiday he could use as an excuse to get his hands on explosives.
"When I was a kid, I was all into fireworks," Dierks said. "Growing up in Arizona, we couldn't get 'em so we'd have 'em shipped in illegally. I still remember the name of the guy we'd call. His name was Joe, and he's bring in, ship 'em in a package with no writing on 'em. We were all about M-80s in the mailboxes and bottle rocket wars. To me, as a kid, Halloween was fireworks, was blowing up stuff around home."
Halloween is a little tamer for Dierks these days. As the father of two young girls, Dierks is letting his older daughter, Evie, call the Halloween shots, including what Mom and Dad are going to dress up as.
"Evie's got her Halloween costume picked out," he said. "She's decided what everyone's gonna be this year in our family. So, she's gonna be The Little Mermaid, and her younger sister's gonna be a crab. I think his name is Sebastian. I don't know The Little Mermaid that well, but she's decided Jordan's gonna be the crab. And she wants me to be Swiper, who's a character from a TV show called Dora, The Explorer. I think she has Cassie going as Dora."It sounds like Halloween will be a family affair... even Jake and George were getting in on the costume action! Here's some pictures that Dierks tweeted earlier this week:
We can only hope that we get a pic of Dierks as Swiper... I think we'd all laugh. A lot. haha!

Pirelli introducing two new tires at Brazilian Grand Prix
After 18 races and 3410 miles so far, Pirelli will round off a remarkable season – characterized by the most overtaking in the 61-year history of the Formula One World Championship – at the iconic Interlagos circuit in Sao Paulo. It’s a venue that has produced plenty of dramatic races in the past, but now Pirelli is concentrating more on the future, as two new tire compounds making their debut at the race.
During Friday’s two free practice sessions, drivers will have two extra sets of an experimental hard tire, which has already been tested by Lucas di Grassi and Pirelli’s Toyota TF109 car in private tests at Jerez and Barcelona this year. This tire is considerably softer than the current hard. The results will be fed back to Pirelli’s engineers as they prepare for the 2012 season, just as was the case during the free practice sessions in Abu Dhabi, where an experimental soft tire was tried out.
For the race itself the P Zero Yellow soft and P Zero White medium tires have been nominated. However, the soft tire that has been nominated is another new compound, which was tested by the teams during the young driver test at Abu Dhabi last week and during Friday free practice at the Nurburgring.
Interlagos is well known for its passionate fans, sweeping elevation changes and anti-clockwise layout. One of the key points of the circuit for both the drivers and the tires is the final sequence of corners from turn 10 onwards, which effectively amounts to one very long left-hand bend – putting plenty of energy through the tires and also the drivers’ necks.
At this time of the year in Brazil, rain showers are a frequent occurrence, which are capable of turning the race on its head. As usual Pirelli will bring the P Zero Orange rain tire and P Zero blue intermediate. Drivers are allowed a total of five sets of intermediates (if it rains on Friday, otherwise four sets) and three sets of rain tires over the weekend under the current regulations.
Pirelli’s motorsport director Paul Hembery says: “Preparations for the 2012 season are well underway, so it will be really interesting to hear the thoughts of the drivers about the new hard and soft tires that we will be trying out in Brazil. We’ve already collected plenty of information on the new soft tire from the young driver test, so it will be useful to compare that to real race data. It’s important not to get too distracted by the names of the tires though: what we’re calling a ‘soft’ for now could end up as a medium for next year, as that’s what the testing process is all about. In general, the tires are going to be less conservative next year as the second half of this season has shown how well the teams have understood our product, allowing us to make some reasonably aggressive choices such as supersoft and soft for Korea. We’re delighted to be ending the season in Brazil: not only is it a legendary circuit with an amazing atmosphere but it is also a key market for Pirelli.”
The men behind the steering wheel say:
Bruno Senna (Lotus Renault): “Interlagos is a very challenging track, as it’s one of the few circuits in the season that runs anti-clockwise, as well as being narrower and bumpier than most tracks we race on nowadays. The rear tires will get a lot of use, mainly due to the many heavy traction zones, big elevation changes, high asphalt temperatures and fairly high surface roughness. We know it will be a difficult weekend for us, as most of the corners are slow in nature and on most circuits with such profile we haven’t been particularly successful, but I believe we can finish the season on a high note and, hopefully score points. There is also, of course, the risk of weather instability, due to the close proximity to a dam, which will make the race that much more exciting.”
A lap of Interlagos is 2.68 mile long and the race is scheduled to last for 71 laps. The track surface is notably bumpy, which makes it hard for the tires to find traction and increases the physical demands on the drivers.
Interlagos is another unfamiliar circuit for Pirelli, with several important factors that will only become apparent in race conditions. However, with a relative absence of high lateral loadings, apart from the final sector, Interlagos is not expected to be too demanding on the tire structure.
The wide variety of high and low speed corners, along with the big elevation changes and high altitude above sea level, mean that it is quite difficult to find the correct aerodynamic set-up and, once more, a good compromise is needed. The last sector of the lap is one of the most important when it comes to the eventual lap time, so this tends to get prioritized in terms of set-up.

This event took place on 30 June 2021.
In a world where our way of life is dependent on maritime operations, cyber attacks can cost hundreds of millions, threaten national security and endanger lives. Cyber-SHIP Lab is a springboard to develop resources to equip the maritime sector to achieve cyber resilience on a par with best-prepared technology and financial organisations.
The University of Plymouth Maritime Cyber Threat Research Group’s £3.2 million Cyber-SHIP Lab is a world-first centre of excellence for maritime cyber resilience research, development and training, addressing key security challenges facing the international shipping industry.
Combining maritime technology with leading-edge cybersecurity research and practice, Cyber-SHIP Lab researchers work to enhance understanding of maritime systems’ vulnerabilities and to deliver actionable cyber resilience knowledge.
Working with industry partners, the Cyber-SHIP Lab team can configure and evaluate numerous permutations of in-service and new ships’ bridge IT and operational technology. The Lab enables maritime systems configuration to replicate any real-world physical ships’ bridge. It provides insights that cannot be achieved through simulation alone.
This event was an opportunity to see first-hand demonstrations of this cutting-edge facility’s capabilities, hear the latest developments in world-leading research, and learn how researchers and industry can work with Cyber-SHIP Lab.
It also provided the opportunity to learn more about the processes for securing funding for impactful projects like this, and about the support available from the University’s Research and Innovation team.
Who was this event for?
This event was of interest to colleagues and students researching, or working across sectors related to or reliant on cyber-security, especially maritime logistics and operations, port and harbour security.
It may also have been invaluable for University of Plymouth staff across disciplines who are looking for guidance and support around securing funding and industry partnerships for new projects.

I really want to give this a go because I never have. I realise I never went anywhere with the Star Wars rp due to my own laziness in response to life events. I don't think there was too much interest anyway so I don't feel absolutely awful. I feel like survival-horror is an excellent genre to rp and I've never done it so I want to.
I have no real ideas other than I'm looking for a certain bleakness, hopelessness, and an overwhelming enemy. I think we've ruled out zombies on account of impracticality, which is sad because I like zombies. But it's their own fault they're a useless enemy. At least, on a grand scale. I think if you're trapped in a building with zombies and have no weapons then they're an excellent threat, but they fail in a broader, life-goal sense.
Still, any interest or ideas, shove them here!

After a year of closures – which saw theatres, concert venues and art galleries standing empty – the UK’s creative industries are struggling to get back on their feet. Previously growing at five times the rate of the wider economy, these industries are yet to recover to their pre-pandemic levels, even as the world reopens. And it’s the regions outside of London that are hardest hit, with the north-west’s creative sector alone losing £900m due to the pandemic.
But while lockdown brought significant challenges for the UK’s creative sector, it also created opportunities. The world has adapted quickly to online living and we’ve witnessed a genuine explosion of creativity through online platforms. Now we have an opportunity to reinvigorate our creative industries – and not just to ensure their future survival.
In the UK, for too long geographical location, ethnic background and social-economic status have been barriers to entering creative industries like television, film and the arts. Digital open platforms help rebalance this problem by enabling equal access to people from all walks of life and across the entire breadth of the country – better reflecting our diverse modern British society.
Recent YouTube research in partnership with YouGov revealed that people don’t feel they have equal access to working in the creative industries if they live outside of London, with 62 per cent agreeing that not living in the capital can restrict access to working in industries such as broadcast television. Meanwhile, 43 per cent of people in the UK don’t think that they see people on TV who accurately represent those from their region.
To attract and elevate diverse talent from across the country – and not just within the limited bubble of the M25 – we must ensure equal digital access. Talent - especially creative talent - is widely and equally distributed across our great country, but opportunity is not. Old models built around access to centralised gatekeepers meant class, geography and connections all placed limits on who can succeed.
Open platforms are critical to leveling the playing field and a vital conduit to connect the industry with the modern UK viewer. It is an incredibly important way to discover a new generation – and a bigger pool – of diverse creative talent, and in turn to help broaden content producers in the most far reaching corners of Britain. It is also key if our creative industries are to recover post-pandemic.
There’s already a growing community of creators who are side-stepping conventional routes into creative industries. They’ve built thriving careers and next-generation businesses and are redefining the face of media in the process. These creators have built an entire economy by connecting with global audiences and allowing Brits to view the content they love, presented by people they can relate to.
Many of these creators wouldn’t have found opportunities in traditional media, but this doesn’t mean they can’t now work together. Now is an exciting time for traditional and digital media to join forces – after all, TV and online video work better together. By providing an open-to-all platform and encouraging the creation of new and innovative content, opportunities are created for advertisers, broadcasters, creators and publishers alike.

Thomas F. Hall started his life as a poor boy from a small town in Oklahoma, but he rose to become an Assistant Secretary of Defense in Washington, D.C.
What happened in between was recounted by the two-star admiral, pilot and Vietnam War veteran before more than 50 students in the high school’s media center the afternoon of January 5. Most of them were Junior ROTC cadets.
His message: seemingly minor choices in one’s life can be the difference between life and death, or love and loss. He talked about some of the close calls he’s had while flying, but also how his decision to join the Navy led to his 48-year marriage.
“Every morning look in the mirror, stare at yourself and say, ‘What are my choices?’” Mr. Hall, 72, told the group. “And how can my choices make the difference between me living and dying.”
He repeated the mantra more than once during the hour-and-a-half encounter, which ended with a question-and-answer session that impressed the visitor.
“You guys have better questions than most of the adults I speak to,” said Mr. Hall, who now works as a consultant for a handful of companies.

Slovak Weather Radar Network
The most effective tool to detect the clouds and precipitation is the weather radar. It provides the weather forecast community some enhanced information about the thunderstorms and precipitation within the 250 - 150 km from the radar.
There are two Doppler weather radars in the Slovak national weather radar network both operating in C band frequency. DSWR92C Doppler Surveillance Weather Radar, made by EEC, located at the top of Malý Javorník in the Low Carpathian Mountains near the capital Bratislava (West Slovakia). The radar has been in operation since 1997. RDR250-GC Doppler Weather Radar with Dual Polarization, made by Radtec and Gamic, located at the hill Kojšovská hoľa near Košice (East Slovakia). The radar has been in operation since 2005.
The weather radar is capable to measure such values as
- Z - radar reflectivity
- V - Doppler velocity
- W - spectrum width
and the polarimetric weather radar measures in addition
- ZDR - Differential Reflectivity
- LDR - Linear Depolarization Ratio
- Θdp - Differential Phase
- ρhv - Correlation Coefficient
- Kdp - Specific Differential Phase
The measurement frequency is 10 minutes.
Products created from the volume data
- CAPPI Z 2 km - reflectivity at the constant altitude 2 km
- ETOPS - echo top hight
- CMAX - maximum od reflectivity
- Accumulated precipitation
For the special reasons some enhanced products have been generated.
- BASE - reflectivity of the cloud base
- TRACK - thunderstorm tracking
- VECTOR - replacement vector of the clouds
- VIL - vertical integrated liquid
- PPI - plan position indicator ( constant elevation)
- CMAX - maximum value in the column
- CAPPI - constant altitude PPI (a horizontal cross-section of data at constant altitude)
- Wind products
- Rain accumulation for any time period
The Slovak radar composite information is created every 10 minutes in the Radar and Satellite Department at Malý Javorník.

The new Texas store in Tullamore
OFFALY retailing legend Tom 'Texas' McNamara will be opening his new store on William Street, Tullamore on Monday, October 12 next.
Mr McNamara's return to the shopping scene will be welcomed by those who remember him from the massive outlet he had in Tullamore, along with his business in Athlone.
He also developed Main Street in Tullamore, an entirely new street comprising retail, commercial and residential accommodation in a formerly disused part of the town.
More recently Mr McNamara ventured into the food service business with the Coffee Club on Harbour Street.
The new store, which is located in the former ESB shop, will open its doors at 12 noon on October 12 but 12 hours earlier, at midnight, the online outlet, texastom.ie, will go live.
Through texastom.ie, which will have a loyalty club, online shoppers are promised next day delivery of fashions at what Texas social media says will be “exceptional value”.
Detailing his plans earlier this year, Mr McNamara said the fashion store will be 60% ladieswear, with the remainder evenly split between menswear and children's.
Texas department store began its life on William Street in 1981 in the premises which is now Charming Hand and Foot spa.
It then moved into the former Duffy's supermarket, also on William Street, and crowds flocked from all over Ireland to take advantage of the wide selection of clothing and jewellery at knock-down prices.
Having spent 11 years at that premises, Tom moved to the former Irish Mist facility on Offaly Street, opening in 1996.
Texas spent another 11 years there before selling to Navan businessman Eamon Duignan who had plans to build a shopping centre incorporating the former Texas and Tesco properties, along with other adjacent sites.
Last week the Tullamore Tribune revealed that local businessman Tony Flanagan intends to build a €7.5m retail and mixed use complex there.

After County Attorney Ryan Files Lawsuit
A north Houston game room where an employee was robbed, beaten, and kidnapped in February has closed after Harris County Attorney Vince Ryan filed a lawsuit to close it.
The game room located at 2118 Maurine Street was the site of an aggravated robbery of the parking lot attendant who lived and worked on the property. On February 4th, the attendant was attacked by three men with guns who blindfolded, kidnapped, beat and robbed him. He escaped his captors by jumping out of a moving vehicle into oncoming traffic.
In the course of their investigation sheriff’s deputies discovered illegal gambling including customers playing 34 eight-liners at the unlicensed game room. Eight liners are slot machine-like devices and are legal only if they offer only non-cash prizes valued at less than $5. Law enforcement officials say that illegal cash payouts are near universal in unpermitted game rooms throughout the state. Despite the arrest of the operators and repeat visits by law enforcement, the game room continued to operate in violation of the law, according to the lawsuit.
After County Attorney Ryan’s Office filed suit the owners of the property agreed to evict the game room operators and close the enterprise.
Ryan’s lawsuit claims that the defendants knowingly operated an illicit and unpermitted game room in violation of Harris County’s Game Room Regulations. In addition, the suit says this game room is a common nuisance under state law. Ryan asked the court to order the defendants to cease operation of the unlicensed game room to prevent continuing harm to the community. Because the game room operators have been evicted and ceased operations the court order is not necessary at this time.
The lawsuit contends that this game room is located in a residential neighborhood making it a public safety hazard for the people who live there.
“Besides illegal gambling, game rooms are associated with a wide variety of adverse secondary effects,” said County Attorney Ryan. “These include personal and property crimes, weapon offenses, illicit drug use and drug trafficking, negative impacts on surrounding properties, urban blight and litter.”
“Simply put, defendants own, operate and maintain the property as a common nuisance,” said County Attorney Ryan. “Evidence clearly shows that patrons go to the property for the sole purpose of illegal gambling. This illegal activity has recently led to a kidnapping and aggravated robbery.
“We will continue to find ways to proactively use civil law to protect Harris County and its residents,” said Ryan.

Vancomycin is a tricyclic glycopeptide antibiotic derived from Amycolatopsis
orientalis (formerly Nocardia orientalis) used for serious gram positive infections.
Some studies also report the isolation of actinomycetes from different mines, which are difficult to isolate from other environments such as Nocardia, Amycolatopsis
, Isoptericola, Jiangella, Pseudonocardia (Groth et al.
INTRODUCTION: Vancomycin, a tricyclic glycopeptide antibiotic (C66H75C12N9024) first isolated from a soil bacterium Actinobacteria species Amycolatopsis
orientalis, acts by inhibiting the formation of the peptidoglycan polymers of the bacterial cell wall.
In contrast to the studies on Amycolatopsis
and fungal degradation of PLA, the reports on the bacterial degradation of PLA and the purification of the correlative enzyme from bacteria are relatively less.
Vancomycin is a branched tricyclic glycosylated nonribosomal peptide produced by the fermentation of Amycolatopsis
orientalis, and it used in the treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria.
For example, a 5-dehydroxymethyl derivative of epoxyquinomicin C, isolated from Amycolatopsis
has shown a significant growth inhibition in hormone-refractory PCA cell line DU-145 through the induction of a apoptotic cell death (Kikuchi et al.

If your home is located in a densely populated city or near a lot of manufacturing facilities, it may be in what is known as an “urban heat island”.
These areas have been identified as being significantly warmer due to human activity than the surrounding less populated, rural areas. Generally, the temperature difference is more noticeable at night than it is during the day. It’s also more significant in the summer and winter.
How UHIs Develop
Scientists believe urban heat islands occur when heat produced by factories and by the sun being absorbed by home roofing is absorbed into the ground and storied as short-wave radiation. As areas become more crowded and busier, they tend to increase in average temperature.
The result is that these areas downwind of urban heat islands get more rainfall. Growing seasons also can be extended. Plus, there tend to be fewer weak tornadoes.
But UHIs also decrease air quality due to the increased production of ozone, letting more harmful ultraviolet rays pass through the atmosphere and increasing the risk for skin cancer.
Water quality also be negatively effected because warmer water flowing into streams and rivers can put more stress on natural ecosystems.
How to Prevent Urban Heat Islands
Some cities — such as Salt Lake City, Chicago and New York City –have tried to reduce the effects of UHIs by taking steps to cool down their climates through the use of such techniques as white roofs, green roofs, and by planting more trees within the city limits.
White roofs are when you paint roofing white in order to reduce the absorption of the sun’s heat. White roofing increase solar reflectance and reduce heat buildup.
Green roofs are another way to decrease the effects of UHIs. This consists of planting vegetation on roofing, such as trees or a garden. Plants absorb the heat and convert it into clean air through photosynthesis.
As our climate gets warmer, these and other strategies will become more common in the near future.

Sanjay Dutt's life has been full of ups and down. The actor, who just came out of jail after serving his term, is now set for his third innings in Bollywood. As against initial reports of his first film after coming out of jail being Munnabhai 3, the actor has signed an action-packed thriller which will be directed by Sidharth Anand.
The film, which will be shot at exotic locations across the globe, is expected to go on floors in India in May 2016 and reportedly the team is eyeing to release the film in the last quarter of the year. As per the latest buzz in the media, Sidharth Anand is keen to rope in a young actress opposite Sanjay Dutt who is capable of performing deadly stunts.
A source close to DNA reveals,
Also Read: Sanjay Dutt biopic will be my most entertaining film till date, says Rajkumar Hirani
"The slick, action thriller that will be shot across six countries won't have Sanju playing a father, but instead the relationship with the younger female protagonist will be an interesting one."
Shraddha Kapoor is Sidharth and Sanjay's first choice for the film. However the duo is yet to approach the actress. It won't be surprising if Kapoor signs the film soon as she has already wrapped up shooting for two of her three upcoming films which include Baaghi, Rock On 2 and Half Girlfriend.

UPDATE: A more detailed map has been released by the city council, it can be viewed by clicking here. We have also made corrections to our Google map below.
A map showing new DublinBikes stations planned in the now approved expansion was posted online on Sunday, but many complained it was unclear. On a closer look, even if it was better quality, it’s an outdated map, with buildings where there were streets and railway lines where there’s now station car parks!
So, as accurately as possible, we’ve put the station locations into an interactive map below:
Green bikes = current stations
Red pins = approximate locations of planned stations
Green line: Luas green line, including the BXD extension
Red line: Luas red line
Blue line: Dart / rail line
View CyclinginDublin.com: DublinBikes expansion map in a larger map
For the purpose of getting an idea of where the new stations will be, we think most locations are a reasonable replica of the council’s outline map. As the map we’re basing it off is rather basic and we’ve yet to see the full list of new stations, in some cases the street names could be marked wrong and, in cases like the stations at the Heuston Station car parks, there’s some guess work involved as the landmarks differ in the outdated map.

Gonzaga’s slow climb up the AP men’s college basketball rankings took another step forward Monday.
After a three-week stay at fourth, the Zags moved to third following two more decisive wins and Virginia’s second loss to Duke in three weeks.
The Blue Devils weren’t able to dislodge Tennessee from the top spot but they did cut into the Volunteers’ lead. Tennessee received 40 first-place votes, down from 48, while the Blue Devils earned 24, doubling last week’s total. Virginia dropped to fourth, 51 points behind the Zags.
The more important numbers pertaining to the postseason are Gonzaga’s standing at No. 1 in the NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET) ratings and landing the top seed in the West Region when the NCAA released its initial bracket projections Saturday morning.
The NET is one of the selection committee’s main tools for selecting and seeding tournament teams. There are other factors considered, which was reflected in the bracket projections.
Virginia was No. 1 in the NET on Saturday, but No. 3 Duke earned the top overall seed. Virginia Tech, No. 10 in NET at the time, wasn’t among the top 16 seeds. Marquette, No. 21 in NET, was projected as a three seed.
The Zags obviously won’t have as many opportunities for high-profile wins over the remainder of the regular season and the WCC Tournament, but the conference still has four teams in the NET top 100 (Saint Mary’s 50, San Francisco 52, San Diego 100).
Gonzaga spent a couple weeks at AP No. 1 after defeating Duke to win the Maui Invitational, but slipped to No. 8 in mid December after falling to Tennessee and North Carolina. The Zags have responded with a 14-game winning streak, prompting a methodical rise in the rankings.
Kentucky, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Houston and Marquette completed the top 10.
Washington nearly cracked the top 25 last week but slipped to fourth in the receiving votes category with 17 points. The Huskies defeated Arizona but suffered their first Pac-12 loss to Arizona State.
There could be more movement in the top 10 considering this week’s schedule. Tennessee visits Kentucky on Saturday. Duke visits No. 16 Louisville on Tuesday and entertains rival North Carolina on Wednesday, Feb. 20.
Gonzaga also moved up to No. 3 in the USA Today poll. Tennessee picked up 30 of the 32 first-place votes. Duke is second, 34 points ahead of the Zags.
No. 4 Virginia is 45 points behind GU. Kentucky, Nevada, Michigan, North Carolina, Houston and Marquette round out the top 10.

While things looked good for Charter Communications just a couple weeks ago in regards to acquiring Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks, some reservations were still in place as the FCC had not ruled on whether to allow the acquisition to take place or not. Green-lighting the deal would mean that Charter would officially become the United States' second-largest cable service provider, behind Comcast, which left some room for skepticism over whether the FCC would allow Charter's proposed acquisitions to take place or not. As of yesterday, Charter is good to go.
The FCC confirmed Charter's acquisition of Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks through an official statement made available to the public:
"WASHINGTON, May 6, 2016 – The Commission yesterday approved — with conditions — the Application filed by Charter Communications, Inc., Time Warner Cable Inc., and Advance/Newhouse Partnership approval to transfer control of certain licenses and authorizations from Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks to Charter Communications."
With Charter's growth, the company will have a total of 25.4 million customers. By comparison, Comcast currently has 28 million customers nationwide - both figures include business and residential customers. While the news is nothing but good for Charter, the company will have to play ball with federal regulators to ensure that the company meets all expectations set forth via the FCC.
One of the conditions set forth by FCC chairman Tom Wheeler included modern broadband expansion to at least 2 million customers (download speeds of 25 Mbps or greater). Wheeler also says that Charter has agreed to "not impose broadband usage caps on its customers, to not charge interconnection fees to online video providers, to offer a low-cost standalone broadband product". Adhering to these conditions means that Charter customers would have access to affordable, standalone services from Charter and not be forced into buying more expensive bundled services.
The transfer of ownership of Bright House Networks and Time Warner Cable over to Charter Communications should only take a few days to complete.

Halo 2 PC Free. Each of the characters has a special ability:. The game includes a number of villains and characters not featured in the movie, many of whom are based on their Ultimate Universe versions like the Yancy Street Gang, Nick Fury, Mole Man, Diablo, Puppet Master, Dragon Man, Blastaar, and Annihilus.
The game begins with Reed, Sue, and Johnny on a roof lying helpless after being knocked unconscious by a blast from Doctor Doom.
Sue is the first to recover, so when she sits up and turns around, Dr. Doom is preparing to fire an electric blast at them. Sue holds it off with her force field and calls Ben Grimm for help.
Then it cuts away to Ben, who is recovering in the transformation chamber after having his rocklike exterior genetically removed from him.
As he contemplates why the circumstances have led to this, he remembers the period when all of this happens. This is when it reverts to the beginning of the movie: Reed signs the pact, they go into space, and Ben gets the samples ready.
In space, they are hit by a cosmic storm which alters their DNA and gives them superpowers. If it hadn't been for Victor, they might never have arrived back to Earth and into his medical compound, where they recovered.
When Ben discovers that he has become a monster-like figure, he deserts the other three and heads home.
Ben runs on a rampage to try to calm himself. This brings the army to New York under the control of a deep, dark, sinister figure who is yet to be revealed and they try to get Ben under control.

Thus, his attacks typically involve Reed turning his hands into a hammer or huge fist. He can get to enemies that are outside Sue or Ben's reach.
As implied by her codename, The Invisible Woman, Susan Storm has the ability to turn herself invisible and sneak up to enemies or get past alarm systems.
She can also move objects with her telekinetic powers, create protective energy shields, or release powerful bursts energy to wreak havoc on her enemies.
Susan's brother Johnny Storm can literally set himself on fire, becoming the Human Torch. In this state, Johnny can fly, create fireballs, or conjure walls of flame.
The powerhouse of the team, Ben Grimm possesses an incredible amount of raw strength. Able to tear through walls and rip his enemies into pieces, Ben's skin is a thick layer of rock, making him nearly impervious to damage.
While it is certainly nice to have access to a wide variety distinct super powers and special attacks, the team members do not feel all that different to control.
The basic light and heavy attack combos will help you get past most situations. While these attacks might visually look different for each character, they essentially serve the same purpose.
Even the super powered cosmic attacks carry very noticeable similarities. Each tem member can essentially launch an attack to inflict heavy damage on a single enemy or knock back a group of enemies.
The unique nature of each character's super powers does not factor into actual game play as much as it could. For instance, when you can just as easily charge head on and punch your enemies into the ground, there is little use in turning Sue invisible and sneaking behind your adversaries for a stealth attack.
When Johnny can effectively take out his opponents with his punches and kicks, it is not necessary to have him stand back and send out fireballs.
The special powers certainly do help in some situations, but the game should have given players more creative opportunities to use those powers to overcome unique challenges.

The Influence of Housing and Shaft Configurations on the Performance of Rolling Bearings By Finite Element Analysis
Determination of rolling bearing deflection accurately is of great importance for machine tool applications. The methods most widely available in literature for calculating rolling bearing deflection are based on the simplifying assumption of rigid races which retain their circular shape on loading. In reality the bearing tracks, together with the housing and shaft which support them, are also subject to deformations, which may be significant when compared with those of the contact areas and of the rolling elements alone.
Using a finite element technique various types of bearing assemblies under realistic support conditions were investigated to evaluate the deflections, rolling element load distributions, stresses and deflected shapes of the races. This paper furnishes information on the performance of rolling bearings in various types of fully flexible housing and shaft configurations under different conditions. For the designer it gives an idea of the scopes which exist for obtaining more rigidity from a given bearing assembly.

“The gospel is not just the diving board off which we jump into Christianity—it’s the swimming pool in which we swim.”
That’s a line from J. D. Greear’s new book, Essential Christianity: The Heart of the Gospel in Ten Words (The Good Book Company). Greear is pastor at The Summit Church in North Carolina and the author of many books. He served as the 62nd president of the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant church network in the United States.
His book Essential Christianity works through Romans, the apostle Paul’s magnum opus. Based on Romans, Greear defines the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, this way: “God, in an act of grace, sent his Son, Jesus, to earth as a man so that through his life, death, and resurrection he could rescue us, reign as King, and lead us into the eternal, full life we were created to enjoy.”
Greear writes not only to encourage believers in Jesus but also to challenge non-Christians. He aims to show how the gospel defies many modern expectations. For example, he writes, “The cross yields a radical inclusiveness that welcomes anyone, celebrates everyone, and looks down on no one.”
J. D. joined me on Gospelbound to talk more about Romans and the human condition, as well as about his leadership maturation as a pastor. I also asked him what one change he’d want to make in the SBC.

“Each one teaches one.” Healthy attachment can often begin with trauma. Many people who are on the path of healing from trauma are learning how to restore feelings of safety and security.
This begins a cycle of learning how to rebuild healthy relationships with others, more importantly finding others who are interested in healthy, positive connections. In order to bond with others in a meaningful way, there must be trust, empathy, care as well as emotional availability. It is important to surround oneself with people who are going to have a healthy and positive impact on those around them and their surroundings. Picking and choosing such healthy people and weeding out the negative people can be difficult.
Perhaps even more difficult is setting boundaries and “unfriending” those people that are not going to have a positive impact. Sadly, often these negative people are old friends. Once healthy attachment is formed, the entire new relationship can blossom into something life affirmingly positive for all parties involved.

Who doesn’t like cake, but put “pudding” in the title and I sort of go weak in the knees. I guess that would be fairly obvious to anyone who did a quick search through the Circle B Kitchen recipe database. This would be pudding cake #8. Oops. Oh well, maybe there are a few of you out there who are equally adoring of the pudding cake.
And we’re particularly fond of this one. In the happy world of pudding cakes, this is just what you’re most likely looking for…moist, super flavorful, sweet, but not overly so, and yes, very moist and compellingly delicious. This is the kind of cake that begs you to take just one more slice, one more bite and then maybe just one more….
It’s not the kind of cake that requires ice cream or whipped cream, or any embellishments of any kind. Just not necessary. Every bite is lusciously complex and full of blueberry deliciousness and I hope I’ve sold you sufficiently. And just in case you’re still unsure, I’ll mention here that it’s beyond easy to put together. You don’t even need a mixer; just a small pan and 2 bowls. And about 8 minutes. The hardest part is waiting for it to come out of the oven. Here’s the recipe…
BLUEBERRY PUDDING CAKE
Recipe courtesy Epicurious
This cake comes together with so little effort and such big flavors that you can make it for a special weeknight dessert or for company. It also makes a wondrous breakfast cake. You can use any 9-inch baking dish or cake pan, but I used a springform pan which makes for a nice presentation. If using a springform pan, line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for easy removal. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them on a baking sheet in a low oven, and reduce the water to 2 tablespoons.
1/3 cup plus 1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch
10 oz blueberries (2 cups) (see headnote)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup whole milk
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 teaspoon vanilla
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan or an 8 or 9-inch springform pan.
Stir together 1/3 cup sugar with water, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a small saucepan, then stir in blueberries. Bring to a simmer, then simmer, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a medium bowl.
Whisk together egg, milk, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl, then add flour mixture, whisking until just combined.
Spoon batter into baking pan, spreading evenly, then pour blueberry mixture evenly over batter (berries will sink). Bake until a knife inserted into center of cake portion comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 5 minutes.
Cake can be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, and then kept, wrapped well in foil, at room temperature.


WASHINGTON — It won't be cheap to fix Medicare's problematic physician pay formula, but lawmakers aren't saving any money by waiting to replace it either, experts testified at a hearing of the Senate Finance Committee.
“We have been kicking this can down the road for the past 5 years. This committee, and certainly Congress, understands it's not going to get any easier,” said Dr. Cecil Wilson, board of trustees chairman for the American Medical Association.
The rising cost of health care is one of the biggest problems facing the government. At the current rate of growth, federal spending on Medicare and Medicaid will eventually consume 20% of the economy, according to Peter Orszag, Ph.D., director of the Congressional Budget Office.
“In health care, we get what we provide incentives for. We currently provide lots of incentives for advanced technologies and high-end treatment, and we get a lot of that. We provide very little incentive for preventive medicine and get very little of that,” testified Dr. Orszag.
Early in 2006, lawmakers asked the Medicare Physician Advisory Commission (MedPAC) to examine ways to shift those incentives. Their findings were presented to the committee a few days before MedPAC members presented the commission's annual report to Congress.
Although the report represents the consensus of the commission, commissioners were unable to forge a consensus on what should be done to replace the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) system, MedPAC Chairman Glenn Hackbarth testified.
Instead, the commission offered lawmakers two alternative approaches—one that doesn't include an SGR-like spending target and one that does.
Eliminating spending targets altogether would require Congress to create a whole new system with incentives to physicians to provide high-quality and low-cost care, Mr. Hackbarth said. Choosing to keep spending targets would simplify payment reform but still would require changes to make the system more equitable.
In opposition to spending targets, Dr. Wilson said, “No amount of tinkering can fix what is broken beyond repair.” While doctors account for a small portion of increasing premiums, they are the only group that has spending targets imposed on them, he added.
“The AMA asks that Congress ensure that physicians are treated like hospitals and other providers by repealing the SGR and enacting a payment system that provides updates that keep pace with increases in medical practice costs. We, in turn, are committed to helping assure appropriate use of services,” he said.
In cooperation with several other physician groups, the AMA brought to the hearing a list of recommendations to achieve those goals.
No matter whose plan is embraced, fixing the SGR system is unlikely to come cheap. The CBO has estimated that current proposals will cost anywhere between $22 billion and $330 billion over 10 years.
“There are lots of steps, including [health information technology] and comparative effectiveness, that offer at least the potential to bend that curve over the long term, but the cost savings may not show up in the next 10 years. That is just the way it is,” testified Dr. Orszag, adding that it will take time and resources to build a system in which Medicare pays for high-value instead of high-cost services. “Given the scale of the problems that we face, we need to be trying lots of different things and recalibrating all the time,” he said.
There are good ideas out there, testified Mr. Hackbarth, but the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is the bottleneck. “We've got some very promising demonstrations under way, but it takes us forever to get them developed, in place, gather results, and translate them into policy,” he testified. The agency doesn't have the staff or information systems to move forward expeditiously.
“We're trying to run [Medicare] on the cheap. That won't work if we are trying to innovate at the same time,” said Mr. Hackbarth.
Asked by senators what to focus on first, Dr. Wilson responded, “It would be nice if we had the luxury of just having one thing on our plate and one magic bullet, but we don't.”
A Choice of Two Paths: Which One Leads to Better Care?
In testimony to the health subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee, Mr. Hackbarth explained that the MedPAC commissioners struggled with their task of choosing an alternative to the current sustainable growth rate (SGR) system. He reported that there were many tough debates, and that commissioners couldn't agree on just one solution. So instead they offered two proposals—ones they've deemed “Path 1” and “Path 2.”
Path 1 calls for repealing SGR and eliminating the system of expenditures targets. The MedPAC report suggests that Congress should implement new ways to improve incentives for physicians and other providers to offer quality care to their patients at lower costs. This could be done in the following ways:

For many rock music fans, going one on one with their favorite stars is a fantasy. For 10 years, the nationally syndicated ``Rockline`` has been making that fantasy a reality.
Heard in Chicago at 10:30 p.m. Mondays on WLUP-FM 97.9, the live 90-minute interview program has put virtually every major rock star behind the mike to answer questions from listeners: Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Pete Townshend, Guns N` Roses, R.E.M., Robert Plant, Yes and Elton John, to name just a few.
Said ``Rockline`` executive producer Howard Gillman, ``When the record companies discuss marketing strategies for a new album by a major artist they often say, `We`ll do three things-a Rolling Stone interview, ``Saturday Night Live`` and ``Rockline.`` ` ``
Airing live via satellite on more than 200 album rock radio stations in the United States, Canada and Japan, the program has been hosted for 9 1/2 of its 10 years by Bob Coburn, a disc jockey at Los Angeles` KLOS whom Chicago listeners may remember from his tenure in the `70s at WDAI and WMET.1
Coburn says rock stars are eager to do the show for several reasons.
``They like it because of the contact the show gives them with their fans,`` he said. ``They also get to promote their new albums or projects on a lot of radio stations at one sitting. Also, what they say can`t be altered, because we`re live. So there`s no editing of what they say or taking a remark out of context.``
The program attracts a huge audience. Gillman said that according to AT&T reports, ``Rockline`` generates as many as 120,000 calls per show to the program`s 800 line. Of those, only 60 to 80 callers get through the switchboard and 20 wind up on the air.
``The first time Robert Plant was on the show, the volume of calls blew out the entire 800 phone system for the state of Florida,`` Coburn said.
``Some people will call the day before and let the phone ring for 24 hours until someone picks it up.``
``Rockline`` has had its share of memorable moments over the years. Among them were impromptu in-studio performances by Harrison and Townshend; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young harmonizing via satellite with two members at
``Rockline`s`` Los Angeles studio and two in San Francisco; and the Black Crowes announcing that they`d been kicked off a ZZ Top tour for making remarks critical of groups that have corporate sponsorship deals.
Then there was the time that Slash from Guns N` Roses got sick live on the air. According to Coburn, the group`s lead guitarist showed up with a bottle of Jack Daniels in hand.
``Slash`s answer to the first question I asked him was, `Where`s the barf bag, dude?``` Coburn said. ``I really respect the group as musicians, but they`ve gotten a lot of mileage out of `We`re Guns N` Roses, the band that threw up on ``Rockline.`````
After hundreds of ``Rockline`` shows, Coburn`s ``wish list`` of first-time guests can now be counted on one hand: Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, Eric Clapton and David Bowie.
``I love doing my show on KLOS,`` he said, ``but `Rockline` is the highlight of the week for me.``


AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- Jurors have begun considering the corruption case against a former Democratic party leader and county official from Cleveland.
Former Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) County commissioner Jimmy Dimora is accused of bribery and racketeering and has pleaded not guilty. His trial in federal court in Akron has included more than seven weeks of testimony.
Dimora is on trial with a former county employee, who also denied the allegations of corrupt activity.
The Plain Dealer in Cleveland (http://bit.ly/zvpPiV ) reports the case went to the jury Friday after both sides presented closing arguments.
A prosecutor had recounted Dimora's alleged involvement in various schemes, referring to him as "the king of the county." His defense team attacked the credibility of government witnesses, saying they testified to get reduced prison sentences.
Jurors were expected to return Friday.

CHARLESTON, W. Va. (WOWK) — Bringing more high-tech jobs to West Virginia, and filling those that are already available here. That’s the main goal of the annual TechConnect Coding and Cyber Summit, in Charleston. And there is progress to report.
“We know there are already about 1,000 open in West Virginia. What we want to do is get the word out that we can train students to fill those jobs. Or invite people to come back home, who maybe left the state, to work,” said Anne Barth, Executive Director, TechConnect West Virginia.
Many of the cyber jobs are in national defense, education and government. But some of the biggest names in tech are coming. Facebook broke ground recently for a state wide internet pipeline, that will cross the Mountain State. Intuit opened operations in Bluefield this year with one-hundred jobs, that will grow to 500.
“We call it a ‘Prosperity Hub’ and it’s really all about giving back to help economically challenged parts of the country, come back. Help them have job growth, workplace of the future,” said Bernie McKay, Chief Public Policy Officer at Intuit.
Among those taking part, Marshall University computer science students, demonstrating their high-tech skills, and their optimism.
“I’m going to be working at the Department of Defense after I graduate, so there’s so many opportunities out there. They’re snatching us up,” said Alex Canfield, a Marshall University student.
“My plans after school are to just work anywhere. Because my field is always looking for jobs, I have plenty of options after I graduate,” said Jacqueline Brown, a Marshall University student.
The TechConnect Summit will be the focus of this weekend’s Inside West Virginia Politics program.
With the legislature gathering at the Capitol in January, there will be bills to promote and expand tech in West Virginia, as well as a new bi-partisan Tech Caucus to support those efforts.

Tehran, Aug 27, IRNA – Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said Iran will start gas exports to Oman in two years time.
Talking to IRNA on Tuesday, he said that based on an agreement signed by Tehran and Muscat, a gas field in Iran has been defined as the source of exports to Oman.
He explained that evaluated by present gas price, the deal worth dlrs 60 billion, noting that according to the international norms the agreement will last for 25 years.
The minister further said that he is to introduce an Iranian consultant company for the project prior to the start of its main phases.
According to the minister, the deal is the biggest signed by the two countries.

I have a piece of legacy VB6 code that is inserting data into a sql server 2000 database table. The code uses the row count returned for various purposes.
We recently put a trigger on the table which calls a stored procedure to update another table. It now appears that the VB6 code is picking up the row count returned from the triggered procedure, rather than the original operation.
Is there anyway of ensuring that the appropriate row count is returned? Can we "pass" the original row count through the trigger somehow?

Place Charmant was the summer homestead of Josephine Charmant in the late 19th century, where her cottage provided a refuge from the summer heat in other parts of Haiti.
Place Charmant roughly translates from French as "Charming Spot" – which describes to a tee these four acres overlooking Jérémie, Haiti, and the Caribbean Sea. This spectacular property is home to the Magloire family's oasis of cottages, guest rooms, and amenities that comprise Place Charmant.
Nestled on a homestead in the Magloire family for well over a century, Place Charmant is home to antiques and traditions that honor the best of the history of Haiti. At the same time, modern comforts ensure that you'll be able to relax after returning from your day away from Place Charmant.
Your hosts Bette and Edwin Magloire ensure that you'll experience the best of Haiti – both old and new. They now welcome their daughter, Danielle, who serves as the Assistant Manager of Place Charmant.
Rich in History and Amenities
A property in the Magloire family for generations, Place Charmant reflects the evolution of comfort in rural Haiti.
At one time consisting of only a single 19th-century thatched-roof homestead without water or power, Edwin and Bette now offer guest rooms, cottages, and small apartments with private baths, al fresco dining among a cool grove of pines, and an outdoor pool with a panoramic vista rivaling any in Haiti.
My husband and I travel to Jeremie, Haiti at least once a year. Place Charmant is the home base for us after a day of work in the city. This hotel overlooking Jeremie is very welcoming and relaxing. We have stayed at Place Charmant seven times and have always been exceptionally pleased.
Place Charmant has a beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea with great sunsets and sunrises. Modern updated guest rooms with air-conditioning and hot showers. Delicious breakfast and dinners included and served with your own place setting prepared by an attentive staff.
I now have 12 years of experience staying at Place Charmant - it has evolved, it has weathered change and hurricanes, it has grown and expanded, and it is better than ever! The best hosts, the best location in Jeremie. It is a comfortable second home when traveling to the Grand Anse.
