‘Le Boreal’ - the quintessence of luxury cruising
The French cruiseship company Compagnie du Ponant took delivery of the first in a two-ship series of mega-yacht style cruise ships ordered from Fincantieri.
The lead-ship, Le Boreal, was delivered in April 2010 from the Ancona shipyard which is also building the sistership, L’Austral, scheduled for delivery in May 2011. Measuring 142.10m length overall, 18m wide and a draught of 4.7m, the 10,700gt newbuilding has a flexible passenger capacity from 224 up to 264 accommodated in up to 132 outside suites/staterooms on six decks.
The diesel electric power plant comprises four Wärtsilä medium speed 8L20 gensets each with power output of 1,480kW @ 900rpm. These deliver power to the two 2,300kW Indar induction motors each of which drives a Wärtsilä 3.1m diameter FP propeller to give a service speed of 16 knots at 4,200kW. The vessel is also fitted with an 800kW Rolls-Royce bow thruster, has a DP capability, is built to ice class 1C and BV Comfort classification.
The structure of the stern and the propeller parameters have been analysed with particular care for the position of the main restaurant directly above the propellers. The final vibration predicted levels were calculated using a global finite element model and the vibration measurements performed onboard during sea trials show a good correlation with calculations.
The propeller designed for the newbuilding followed a new procedure which does not consider the hull wake as a fixed input data, but as an integral part of the propeller design loop. The wake optimisation was carried out in parallel with the blade design and this was a decisive factor leading to the complete suppression of the cavitation on the blade surface and the cavitating tip vortex. The fixed five-bladed configuration proved to be the best compromise between efficiency and propeller load.
All the work done in the preliminary design phase, both from hydrodynamic and structural point of view, has been confirmed by sea trials results, thus obtaining the challenging highest grade of Bureau Veritas Comfort Class.

Fundamentally, vapor pressure is the partial pressure of liquid vapor
(e.g. water vapor). Saturated vapor pressure is the vapor pressure which
is in equilibrium with an open liquid surface. Therefore, it is also the
pressure at which a liquid will vaporize for a given temperature.
If the pressure to which the liquid is exposed is equal to the saturated
vapor pressure for a given temperature, then the water will "boil".

Talismans – Le Mat – Mendittorosa
Talismans – Le Mat – Mendittorosa.
“Every man is a divinity in disguise, a god playing the fool.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A perfume of divination and tarotology. Le Mat, The Fool and Journeyman. Chance, enigma and propulsion. End and beginning. A card of 0 and XXII. A powerful icon of the Major Arcana, cards of symbols and numbers that portend future and fate. We must turn over cards and accept fate, walk forward into new futures, lives and loves. We may not have all the tools for survival, but we have hope and defiance. Le Mat explodes with sweet earth, heaven-sent patchouli anchoring a sensual chypré homage of Rosa Centifolia from Grasse, the strange complexities of immortelle, cloves, black pepper and Egyptian geranium. A talisman of balsamic blessed absolution that will boldly defend mind and body.
5 stars perfume according to the acclaimed fragrance critic Luca Turin
Head Notes: Nutmeg, Black Pepper, Cloves
Heart Notes: Geranium, Rose Centofolioa from Grasse
Base Notes: Indonesian Patchouli, Cashmere Woods, Spanish Immortelle

Mendittorosa is artisanal perfumes made without compromise. Exclusive and limited editions; touching the soul through scent. “I changed my life to create Mendittorosa Odori d’Anima. Mendittorosa Odori d’Anima is my journey, my life: a reflection of my true soul. I was somewhere important to me when I decided to write this magical chapter of my life, that place was Stromboli, a living, breathing volcano. A black lava mountain 1000 metres above and 2000 meters below the sea. Stromboli or Iddu in the local dialect is my symbol, my muse, my protection… A baptism of pure energy that I hope will now reach you. My perfumes exist to bring this energy and much more to you; as important tools and keys placed in your hands and on your skin in your search in life. Mendittorosa Odori d’Anima is a journey of resurrection in scented experiences. Experiences that reconnect. Wounds that heal. When the beginning meets the end, it brings peace and poetry. Perfumed mirrors of the soul. These are now yours. ” Stefania Squeglia

Cryptocurrency (such as Bitcoin) is a type of virtual currency. It is an emerging area, and as such, comes with an enormous amount of uncertainty when it comes to the US tax treatment of transactions involving its use. On October 9, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued Revenue Ruling 2019-24 providing much awaited guidance about the tax treatment of certain cryptocurrency events – specifically, “hard forks” and “airdrops”. The Ruling will appear in the Internal Revenue Bulletin IRB 2019-44 dated Oct. 28, 2019. The IRB is the “official source” for IRS information and once in the IRB, it means you can rely on it!
Revenue Ruling 2019-24 enhances the very basic guidance on the tax treatment of virtual currency issued by the IRS five years ago (See Notice 2014-21). My earlier blog post details the US tax implications of cryptocurrency as well as the earlier IRS guidance. FBAR issues with regard to cryptocurrency are another matter altogether. My blog post here, discusses the FBAR issues.
IRS is on the Trail
Simultaneously, with issuance of the new Revenue Ruling, the IRS updated its Virtual Currency Transactions frequently asked questions to reflect it. Taxpayers and practitioners have been anxious for more complete guidance on the tax treatment of virtual currency and its many new and developing types of transactions. In fact, Congressional lawmakers requested that the IRS provide some definitive guidelines as well as a comprehensive virtual currency strategy that would be less confusing to taxpayers than the current guidance. IRS is obviously taking steps. You can read more here.
The IRS is very serious with its crackdown on virtual currency and in July started sending letters to taxpayers who may not have been in compliance with regard to their use of virtual currency. There is now a checkbox at the top of Schedule 1 which appears on the early release draft of the IRS Form 1040 for the 2019 tax year. It asks taxpayers about financial interests in virtual currency and its language closely mirrors that used on the Form which asks taxpayers if they have an interest in any foreign financial account. More information and links to the draft IRS Form Schedule 1 and Instructions are here.
A few definitions and concepts will be helpful in order to more fully understand the IRS Ruling.
“Cryptocurrency” is a type of virtual currency that uses cryptography to secure transactions that are digitally recorded on a distributed ledger, such as a blockchain. A distributed ledger is used to record, share, and synchronize transactions. A transaction involving cryptocurrency that is recorded on a distributed ledger is referred to as an “on-chain” transaction; a transaction that is not recorded on the distributed ledger is referred to as an “off-chain” transaction.
A “hard fork” is unique to distributed ledger technology. It occurs when cryptocurrency on a distributed ledger undergoes a change that results in a permanent diversion from the existing distributed ledger. The shift may result in the creation of an entirely new cryptocurrency. Simply put, two different blockchains and two different cryptocurrencies can result from the hard fork. After the hard fork has occurred, events involving the “new” cryptocurrency will be recorded on the “new” distributed ledger, whereas events involving the original (or “legacy”) cryptocurrency will continue to be recorded in the original distributed ledger.
An “airdrop” occurs when any cryptocurrency organization distributes a cryptocurrency token or coin, usually for free, to a large number of its current wallet addresses. Airdrops are primarily implemented for promotional purposes and to gain attention. This type of publicity of course, increases the likelihood of new followers, resulting in a larger user-base and a wider disbursement of coins. Just like the real world, hype and buzz play an important role in the world of cryptocurrency! So, simply put, an airdrop is a promotional tool that may get people interested in a cryptocurrency. But, air drops raise US tax issues and even if received for “free” may come with a hidden price tag.
“Gross income” includes all accessions to wealth under the US tax laws. Gross income means all income from whatever source derived, including gains from dealings in property. Under Internal Revenue Code Section 61, all gains or undeniable accessions to wealth, clearly realized, over which a taxpayer has complete dominion, are included in gross income unless the law provides a specific exclusion (example, receiving a gift of $1 million is clearly an accession to wealth, and a nice one at that. However, the tax law excludes gifts from gross income; they are not taxed to the recipient).
“Constructive receipt” is an important concept in the crypto tax world. Understanding this concept will greatly assist in understanding the IRS ruling. Generally speaking, “constructive receipt” means a taxpayer will be taxed on income when it’s made available to him and when he has dominion and control over it. This doctrine prevents artificial shifting of the time income is received for tax purposes. As the IRS puts it, a taxpayer may not “turn his back on income” to avoid being taxed.
The relevant IRS Treasury Regulation defines constructive receipt as follows:
“Income although not actually reduced to a taxpayer’s possession is constructively received by him in the taxable year during which it is credited to his account, set apart for him, or otherwise made available so that he may draw upon it at any time, or so that he could have drawn upon it during the taxable year if notice of intention to withdraw had been given. However, income is not constructively received if the taxpayer’s control of its receipt is subject to substantial limitations or restrictions.”
The Tax Court explained the doctrine of constructive receipt in Davis v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1978-12 (1978). The issue was whether a taxpayer faced substantial limitations so the doctrine of constructive receipt would not apply. A check for severance pay was sent by certified letter and was available to the taxpayer at the post office on the last day of the tax year, 1974, after the mail carrier attempted to deliver it to her home earlier the same day. Since the taxpayer was not at home upon the first delivery attempt, the carrier left a note that the letter would be at the post office. The taxpayer picked up the check from the post office several days later, just after the start of the new tax year, 1975. Did the taxpayer constructively receive the check on the last day of 1974 such that she should have included the severance pay in her tax return for that year? Courts had previously held that when a taxpayer makes a decision to be unavailable to take delivery of a check, then the substantial limitations requirement will not be met and the taxpayer will be deemed to have had constructive receipt at the time of attempted delivery. The Davis court noted that the sender had specifically advised the taxpayer that the check would be arriving approximately two months later than the actual delivery date. Since Mrs. Davis had no notice to expect that the check would be delivered, it was not possible for her to have made a decision to be unavailable to receive it. It was not possible for her to have consciously “turned her back” on the income. The court determined that under the circumstances the taxpayer faced substantial limitations on the availability of the funds and as such, they were not constructively received in 1974.
Takeaways from the New Ruling
What did the IRS say in the new Ruling? Here are the takeaways:
A “hard fork” of a cryptocurrency which is owned by a taxpayer does not result in gross income to him if the taxpayer receives no units of the new cryptocurrency. However, taxpayers receiving an “airdrop” of units of a new cryptocurrency after a hard fork will have ordinary gross income as a result of the “airdrop”.
The IRS Notice explained that receipt of cryptocurrency from an airdrop is generally on the date and at the time it is recorded on the distributed ledger. However, a taxpayer may “constructively receive” cryptocurrency prior to the airdrop being recorded on the distributed ledger.
On the other hand, a taxpayer will not be treated as having received the cryptocurrency when the airdrop is recorded on the distributed ledger if the taxpayer is not able to exercise dominion and control over the cryptocurrency. (Refer above to the Doctrine of Constructive Receipt). For example, a taxpayer does not have dominion and control if the address to which the cryptocurrency is airdropped is contained in a wallet managed through a cryptocurrency exchange and the cryptocurrency exchange does not support the newly-created cryptocurrency such that the airdropped cryptocurrency is not immediately credited to the taxpayer’s account at the cryptocurrency exchange. If the taxpayer later acquires the ability to transfer, sell, exchange, or otherwise dispose of the cryptocurrency, the taxpayer is treated as receiving the cryptocurrency at that time.
The Revenue Ruling provides two examples:
Example 1 involves a taxpayer whose cryptocurrency undergoes a hard fork, creating a new cryptocurrency. However units of the new cryptocurrency are not airdropped or otherwise transferred into an account that the taxpayer owns or controls. Since the taxpayer receives no units of the new cryptocurrency, that taxpayer does not at that point in time have gross income for tax purposes. In other words, the taxpayer is not in constructive receipt of anything.
Example 2 involves a taxpayer similar to the first, except that in addition to the hard fork, units of a new cryptocurrency are airdropped into the taxpayer’s distributed ledger address. This is a promotional gesture; the taxpayer receives the new cryptocurrency solely because he owns the legacy cryptocurrency at the time of the hard fork. The taxpayer is able to immediately dispose of the new units. In this case, because the taxpayer receives units of the new cryptocurrency, the taxpayer has an accession to wealth and ordinary income in the tax year in which the new cryptocurrency units are received. The amount of the ordinary income is the fair market value of the new units when the airdrop is recorded on the distributed ledger.
The Overseas American and Crypto
Americans living and working abroad may find it difficult to maintain a bank account in their country of residence due to the infamous “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act”, FATCA. These individuals may more frequently turn to crypto-currency to handle payments as more and more goods and service providers are becoming happy to accept it.
Unfortunately, Americans overseas are already in the IRS cross-hairs with respect to their foreign assets or accounts. Adding crypto to the mix, may just make matters more precarious. In an attempt to track digital currency transactions, the IRS has entered into a license agreement to use software to identify the owners of digital wallets. Identifying crypto owners is really happening and the biggest criminal takedown involving Bitcoin just took place ….. if you think you are safe because you are using cryptocurrency, think again.
All of these developments clearly indicate that the area is heating up. All crypto transacations must definitely be handled with care.

How To Find the Cheapest Auto Insurance Rates in Hartwood, VA
Regarding searching for auto insurance in Hartwood, VA certain criteria will be of more importance than others. A few of the most essential factors to consider are your budget, companies you prefer to work with, and the level of coverage that is right for you. To determine the appropriate level of coverage for your situation, perform an honest assessment of your driving environment and habits. Also, pay attention to the conditions you operate (highway driving, city driving, etc.). It is also important to take note of any specific accommodations that may need to be addressed in the event of a claim. Our free, convenient tool makes it simple to obtain and compare various car insurance rates online. Being knowledgeable and aware of the different policies can help you find the coverage that best fits your situation and budget.
It is important to determine how often, where, and when you drive in Hartwood, VA to determine your best car insurance policy. Policy providers will analyze and consider these factors, as should you. If you frequently ignore the speeding limit, drive on major interstates or highways, or have a long commute through a heavily populated area, you may be considered a higher risk driver and may wish to purchase a higher level of coverage.
Your specific driving habits may have a positive or negative effect on your policy. Your provider may label you as a low or high-risk driver based on your driving record. It is essential to understand your level of risk since this can help you determine if a high-risk policy is important for you. If you worry you are at an increased risk of experiencing a crash or simply wish to be extra cautious, you may want to look into a policy that offers accident forgiveness.
Your Hartwood, VA driving environment will affect the overall cost of your policy as well. The environment you drive in includes the roads you typically operate on, if you park on a street instead of a garage, if you reside in an area that is prone to theft or vandalism, or if your area has an unusually high rate of accidents. Fortunately, you can diminish some of these factors by performing certain updates. For example, installing an anti-theft device or alarm system can lower your rates if you reside in an area that is prone to theft.
Prior to selecting a policy, it is important to have an understanding of your budget. Having a clear understanding of what you can afford will help you determine which company to work with and what level of coverage will work for you. Certain providers offer basic liability coverage at a low monthly rate while others offer 'platinum' options at a higher rate. The majority of consumers fall in between these two rate options. When researching the different policy options in Hartwood, VA, it is important to remember that you often get what you pay for.
Another factor to consider when you are researching a car insurance policy is what kind of service and dependability each provider offers. Although you never want to use insurance, you will most likely need to file a claim at some point in your life. In the case of a claim, you want to know that your policy provider is willing and ready to handle your claim and offer you the service you expect. Will your auto insurance provider treat you like a valuable customer or attempt to stall the payment process? Overall, your end goal should be selecting a car insurance provider that you would gladly recommend to your loved ones.

Jenny Slate is Gidget in Another Trailer for 'The Secret Life of Pets 2'
by Alex Billington
February 1, 2019
"Fetching is for dopes." Universal + Illumination Entertainment have debuted a fifth new character trailer for Chris Renaud's The Secret Life of Pets 2, the sequel to the animated hit from a few years ago about pets and the life they have after their owners leave. This new trailer is for the Pomeranian named Gidget, voiced by Jenny Slate, also from the first film. The first teaser featured the dog Max, the second teaser was all about the cat Chloe, and the third teaser re-introduced the rabbit Snowball as Captain Snowball, voiced by Kevin Hart. The full cast also includes Patton Oswalt, Eric Stonestreet, Lake Bell, Dana Carvey, Albert Brooks, Hannibal Buress, Bobby Moynihan, Kylie Hart, Nick Kroll, and Pete Holmes. So the trailers still aren't revealing much more about the plot, but it's hard not to enjoy watching them anyway.
Here's the fifth teaser trailer (+ poster) for Chris Renaud's The Secret Life of Pets 2, from YouTube:
You can watch the first teaser for The Secret Life of Pets 2 here, plus Chloe's teaser or Snowball's teaser.
The Secret Life of Pets 2 will follow summer 2016’s blockbuster about the lives our pets lead after we leave for work or school each day. Illumination Entertainment founder and CEO Chris Meledandri and his longtime collaborator Janet Healy will produce the sequel. The Secret Life of Pets 2 is once again directed by animation filmmaker Chris Renaud, who directed the first Pets movie, as well as Despicable Me, The Lorax, and Despicable Me 2 previously. The screenplay is written by Brian Lynch (who also wrote the first film). The film is produced by animation studio Illumination Entertainment. Universal will release Renaud's The Secret Life of Pets 2 in theaters everywhere starting June 7th, 2019 this summer. Still laughing here?

When it comes to being rich and the lifestyle attached to it, it goes a long way which always reflects on character and other few things to be discussed in this topic.
Before I go on… Here’s a quote to digest.
“The rich apply the manipulative power of money to wriggle out of trouble, but the poor either walks or talks himself out of trouble.” – Vincent Okay Nwachukwu
To be wealthy, has to begin with a great mindset and not by the money in your bank account, a poor mind or a group of poor people who think alike, have not sat down to think of the few things I am about to share with you.
Here are the 5 things rich people discuss;
The gathering of the rich is always fun, but business can’t be left aside as they share ideas of New/Latest investment around the world and seek for which of the options is the most profitable that will yield great return on investment and will add value.
They often talk about stock, or where they have good shares in, probably an Agricutural Firm they Invested in, Transport Company they seal a commission deal with and more.
New Things Learnt
One surprising thing about wealthy people is that they are still open to learn, and they are willing to spend any dime to learn more things, cause that has been the foundation of how they lived their life. In as much as the learn intelligent things they also love learning funny things which they share with their colleagues during conversation.
It could be how to change a baby diaper,how to cook a particular recipe, or how they started doing house chores by themselves without the help of anyone due to coronavirus.
They Discuss Collaboration
The gathering of wealthy people ends up been a collaboration of business, which deal with networking and relationship, they award contracts to each other or even buy into each other ventures.
And leveraging on each other network, client database, equipment/machinery for productivity and many more.
One of the best ways Rich people have been able to increase their wealth is by discussing Global problems with their colleagues and end the discussion with a solution, while discussing matters arising, they then think about how they could play a huge impact to change the situation of things.
As a wealthy person or aspiring to become a wealthy person, your best strength is to think Globally… providing your best solution creatively to every problem.
Politics is not what they’re all into but they find it interesting discussing trending issues which they find easily to engage with each other.
Giving back to the community or the world at large is a major priority that most wealthy people don’t joke with, they always find a way to give back to the society.
Stephen Akintayo is a major example of this; as he as been seen giving orphanage homes at the IDP Camp in Maiduguri, Ajegunle at DustBin estate and Over 2 Million grant to SMEs and other Brokers during the Upgrade Conference and Global Property Brokers Conference… This is the kind of act you find amongst rich people.
And can find that with other wealthy people Like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerburg, Aliko Dangote and many other wealthy individuals.

This report on the Korean Strategy for Green Growth and its implementation in urban areas assesses the contributions of sub-national governments to Korea‟s National Strategy for Green Growth and identifies the main challenges for effective implementation at the local level.
In the current difficult economic environment, regions are important centres of gravity in a country’s economy. Their comparative advantages, endowments and overall dynamism can be powerful sources of growth and prosperity nation-wide, said OECD Secretary-General.
Ces Perspectives régionales ont pour principal objet d’analyser en quoi les politiques régionales peuvent contribuer aux résultats d’ensemble sur le plan des objectifs de croissance économique, tout en englobant des considérations liées à l’équité et à l’écologie.
With 22% of the national population (11.2 million inhabitants), the Gauteng city-region is the largest and richest region in South Africa, contributing to one-third of national GDP. The area encompasses a series of connected cities, including Johannesburg and the national capital of Tshwane (formerly Pretoria), that function as a single, integrated region. Gauteng has been South Africa’s growth engine: for every additional 1% growth in population in the province, 1.6% is added to its contribution to national growth, implying higher productivity than in other parts of the country. Nevertheless, the city-region’s growth potential is constrained by deep socio-economic challenges, including high unemployment (26.9%) and low productivity growth. Its rapid demographic and economic development has also reinforced the spatial segregation instituted under apartheid.
Against the backdrop of South Africa’s achievements since the fall of apartheid, this Review evaluates measures to position economic development policy and to confront economic inequality in Gauteng. The issues of adequate housing as a catalyst of economic development and a vehicle for socioeconomic integration, transport mobility and public service delivery are examined in detail. The Review also assesses the economic growth potential of the manufacturing and green sectors, as well as governance issues, focussing on the potential of intergovernmental collaboration in advancing a cross-cutting regional approach for Gauteng.

Determining and Optimizing of Guide Rolls Motion Track in Cold Ring Rolling Process
Guide rolls play an important role in controlling both the ring circularity and the stability of cold ring rolling process. However, it is difficult to predict and control the motion of the guide rolls due to the complexity of process associated with the coupled effects of multi-factors. In this paper, a reasonable controlling model of the guide rolls is proposed, and the functional relationship between the motion track of the guide rolls and their setup parameters and process ones is established, by which the guide rolls motion track can be determined. On this basis, a 3D-FE simulation model for cold ring rolling is developed under the ABAQUS software environment and the effects of the initial position and motion track of the guide rolls on the forming stability, ring circularity, rolling force, and oscillating are investigated. Taking the forming stability and ring circularity as objects, the optimum initial position and motion track of the guide rolls are obtained.

A University of Southern California assistant women’s soccer coach embroiled in the college admissions scandal will plead guilty and cooperate with prosecutors, according to the Wall Street Journal. Former coach Laura Janke will plead to one count of racketeering conspiracy by May 30 and, as a result, will forfeit $134,000 and likely receive the "low end" of potential jail time. She has also reportedly agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in the case, according to plea and cooperation agreements filed in court.
The maximum sentence she was facing was 20 years, but it is likely she will now get 27 to 33 months as a result of the plea. She'll also be on supervised release for a term of 12 months. Janke must also pay any tax penalties related to payments she received. The length of her prison sentence is still going to be determined on how cooperative she is going to be as a witness, prosecutors said.
Another parent who worked with Janke also accepted a plea deal recently: Toby MacFarlane, a parent charged in the case, will plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts. MacFarlane had already telegraphed his intent earlier this month to enter into plea discussions.
MacFarlane paid $450,000 to have his children admitted to USC as recruited athletes and, working with Janke, helped create fake profiles for the children. Janke then built profiles for both of MacFarlane's kids: one for his daughter in 2013 claiming she was a soccer star and another in 2017 for his son, claiming he was a basketball player. Both children eventually wound up going to USC.
Janke was one of four USC officials charged in the case. Prosecutors say she created profiles for a number of William Rick Singer's clients, stocking them with fake honors for their respective sports.
In another example, Janke helped fabricate a bogus athletic profile for the son of media executive Elisabeth Kimmel as an elite pole vaulter, despite him having no record of ever pole vaulting. Janke even used a photo of another individual pole vaulting as part of the submission, prosecutors say. Kimmel has plead not guilty to charges of mail fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy.
Janke's guilty plea stands in contrast with our latest update on the scandal, where we noted that some parents had decided to "punch back" and vigorously defend themselves in court.
“I expect a lot more guilty pleas,” Diane Ferrone, a criminal defense lawyer in New York who isn’t involved in the case, told Bloomberg about a week ago.
16 parents were recently indicted in the scandal about 2 weeks ago. Several weeks before that, we noted that parents charged in the scheme were seeking out "prison life consultants" to find out what life would be like in the big house.
We have been following the admissions scandal at length. As part of our coverage, we detailed how financial speaking gigs and elite high schools helped facilitate the scam for years. We've also covered the fallout from the scandal, like when UCLA's Men's Soccer Coach and former U.S. Men's national team player Jorge Salcedo recently resigned from his position at the university as a result of taking bribes. We also wrote about how students were being encouraged to fake learning disabilities in order to cheat on college entrance exams.

Jacksonville Beach may get a Margaritaville resort
The 12-story resort hotel would have 211 rooms and an oceanfront location
A resort hotel bearing the Margaritaville brand may be coming to Jacksonville Beach. The city’s planning and development department is reviewing the proposed eight-story, 211-room hotel.
The Margaritaville hotel would have an internal parking garage and a ground-floor restaurant and would connect with an oceanfront boardwalk.
An Ormond Beach-based developer, Manoj Bhoola of MSB Hotels IVV, LLC, wants to build the hotel on a vacant lot along the ocean between 6th Avenue North and 7th Avenue North in Jacksonville Beach. No timetable for construction has been announced.
City planning director Bill Mann said the proposed Margaritaville resort would be “a great addition to our downtown area,” according WJXT-Channel 4 in Jacksonville.
Mann also said the developer would need a building permit from the city and a coastal construction permit from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. [News4Jax.com] — Mike Seemuth

Congresswoman McCollum's Statement on Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Beth Jacob Congregation
Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor the members of Beth Jacob Congregation, a Jewish congregation in Mendota Heights, Minnesota, who will celebrate the 25th Anniversary of their faith community on June 27th.
Beth Jacob was formed in 1985 when two Twin Cities synagogues, Sons of Jacob and New Conservative Congregation merged. Founded as an orthodox synagogue in the early 1870s, Sons of Jacob was one of the oldest Jewish congregations in the Twin Cities, while New Conservative Congregation was one of the area's youngest congregations. Seemingly very different faith communities, the members of the two synagogues found that they possessed similar values and needs. The new faith community they formed adopted the name Beth Jacob Congregation. In 1986, the congregation selected Rabbi Morris J. Allen as its religious and educational leader, and in 1987 they broke ground to build their synagogue. Since then, Beth Jacob has steadily grown in size and influence thanks to the dedication and leadership of Rabbi Allen and the involvement and commitment of its members.
Beth Jacob is not simply a synagogue or a place of worship - it is a community. Its members are engaged in studying their faith and participating in Shabbat service. Additionally, members are active participants in their neighborhoods and cities. Beth Jacob is well known for its involvement in our community through interfaith dialogue programs, food shelf donations, assistance to immigrant workers, affordable housing initiatives, and disaster relief efforts. Its contributions to the Jewish community as well as the Twin Cities at large are unparalleled, and I am proud to say that such an active and dedicated Jewish Congregation is located in the Fourth Congressional District of Minnesota.
Madam Speaker, please join me in rising to honor the 25th Anniversary of Beth Jacob Congregation, a faith community rich with tradition that is committed to serving the needs of its members and giving back to our community.

An event had been scheduled to take place over the weekend near the city of Jericho to commemorate the passing of the Israelites into the land of Israel in the book of Joshua.
About a thousand people were expected to attend the event, which would have been held for the fourth time. However, the event was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The man who conceived the event is Maj. Gen. (res.) MK Uzi Dayan. "The Baba Battalion Brigade was already passing through its patrol site instead of the Jordan Crossings, today known as Kasser al-Yehud, where the Israelites crossed the Jordan on their way to conquer the land. It happened on the tenth of [the Hebrew month] of Nissan that came out this year on Saturday, and we planned to hold an event on Thursday including a tour and a big class. This time, due to the coronavirus epidemic, we had to make the event through the Zoom app as the commander delivered beautiful photos of Jordan and the group from all over the country participated. It was exciting, but of course not like the real thing," Dayan told Arutz Sheva.
"This is not just a site that should be a national heritage site, it has an importance beyond that. We are in a campaign today that is about health and economic and social factors and that is at the top of our minds, but two steps ahead must also be taken on the national aspect.
"We have the opportunity - because of the Deal of the Century - that allows us to set our eastern boundary on the Jordan with the entire Jordan Valley along its length and breadth - which is something we need to complete this year - because there are US elections in November and we don't know what will happen next. We need to advance the campaign in parallel.
"We always say 'next year in rebuilt Jerusalem.' Jerusalem is already quite rebuilt and there is still much t do there, but next year we will be at the Jordan crossings where the construction of a hotel will begin in the Jordan Valley. There is not even one hotel and only visitor center when it comes to one of the most impressive places in the world. - where three continents meet. The Jordan River crossings had more than 750,000 tourists and a potential capacity of more than two million this year, and we need to upgrade it. And the valley that has 6,000 Jewish residents must be settled so that by 2048 there will be close to 20,000 residents. This year we must start.
According to Dayan, even if a unity government is established, sovereignty must be applied. "There can be arguments about this, but I do not believe that an overwhelming majority will be achieved for a program that speaks of the Jordan Valley under our full sovereignty and of settling in Judea and Samaria. This is true of both the people and the politics."
"We have patience, but this year we have to do it and not be discouraged, even if some do not like the American plan. What it allows us is something that has been debated since the founding of the state. Ben Gurion previously said: We did the maximum, and therefore we received the maximum. This is true of the Jordan Valley and Judea and Samaria above all," Dayan concluded.

In a statement shared with Fox News, a spokesperson for the carrier emphasized that the risk of transmission to passengers remained low at this time.
“American's Chief Medical Officer and leaders from our pilots' office have been in touch with our [Dallas/Fort Worth]-based pilot who tested positive for COVID-19,” the spokesperson shared. “We are in close contact with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and public health officials and are coordinating with them on all required health and safety measures.”
The airline did not disclose exactly when the employee tested positive or how recently they had flown.
On a national level, the ongoing coronavirus outbreak continues to impact those employed in the aviation industry.
Three Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers who work at Mineta San Jose International Airport in California have also tested positive for COVID-19, the agency announced on Tuesday. The officers were reportedly receiving medical care, and all TSA employees who they were in contact with the officers through the last two weeks are quarantined at home, the TSA said.
Amid the ongoing outbreak, the TSA is also doubling down with new measures to keep employees safe.
Earlier this week, an agency spokesperson confirmed to Fox News that TSA employees who closely interact with the traveling public are welcome to wear surgical masks to help fight the virus and its spread. Security screeners are also urged to frequently wash hands and practice respiratory hygiene.
As of Friday morning, the novel coronavirus has infected at least 132,567 people across 118 countries and territories, claiming the lives of 4,947.
In the U.S., at least 47 states plus the District of Columbia have reported confirmed cases of COVID-19, tallying over 1,600 illnesses and 41 deaths.

There are two obvious questions that Nick Dunlap must answer in light of his story. PGA Tour victory.
In case you didn’t know, the 20-year-old became the first amateur to win on the North American circuit since Phil Mickelson in 1991.
After the tears dried after the courageous six-foot putt, he holed out to claim The American Expressjournalists asked him if he was going to turn professional from now on.
His response was completely predictable. He’s not sure and will take time to discuss his next move with his family, his coach and his girlfriend. Isabelle Ellis.
If he turned professional, he would forfeit a place at the Royal Troon Open but would be offered a place at the Royal Troon Open. American PGA Championship to Valhalla instead.
Dunlap would also be in the field for the remaining seven lucrative flagship events if he decides to turn professional.
Surely the answer is obvious?
It should be noted that two LIV Players Jon Rahm and Phil Mickelson were quick to congratulate Dunlap on his victory.
“A way to cope under pressure”, Rahm wrote on X. “This is just the beginning,” Mickelson added on the same platform.
There’s no denying that Dunlap would be a huge coup for LIV.
Such an impressive performance from Nick Dunlap. Congratulations on this incredible victory. This is just the beginning
-Phil Mickelson (@PhilMickelson) January 22, 2024
Additionally, it is also important to consider that Dunlap is represented by GSE and his agent Kevin Canning worked on the deal that brought Jason Kokrak to the rival league.
GSE also represents other LIV players such as Bryson DeChambeauAbraham Ancer, Paul Casey, Joaquin Niemann, Sergio Garcia, Louis Oosthuizen, Carlos Ortiz, Sebastian Munoz, Branden Grace, Eugenio Chacarra and Mito Pereira.
Recently interviewed by Golf Week If he’s interested in participating in LIV, Dunlap said, “Right now I have no idea, I really don’t.”
“I don’t know if that’s arrogant or not,” he said.
He explained: “I always grew up dreaming of playing on the PGA Tour and sinking a putt like not long ago to win a PGA Tour event.
“It’s always been my dream to do this. I’ve always tried to pursue something that no one else has done.
“That’s why I always do the work that I do, I want to do something special and something memorable, not just for me, but maybe leave something behind so that someone else can try to follow and evaluate it.
He continued: “For me, it’s Tiger, RIGHT. Like I’ll probably never be close to some of the records that he set, but I’m still trying to set, you know, trying to chase him.
“I know that’s an extremely high bar, and I don’t know if that sounds really arrogant or not, but to me it’s something, I consider him the greatest of all time, and to me , I’m trying to pursue that, and even be in some sort of conversation with him, like I said, it’s a dream come true, and that’s why I do what I do.
LIV’s third campaign begins in Mexico on February 2.
The aforementioned Rahm has still not confirmed who will be alongside him, nor revealed the name of his team.
It is believed that another young golfer could have a big future in the sport, Caleb Surrattagreed to join Rahm’s team.

Indian Equity Indices started the week on very strong note as Indian indices once again closed at record high and for the 1st time bank nifty future closes above 26000 and nifty future closes above 10700. We have seen rally in most of the world market which helped Indian market to kick off on the start of the week. Indian market rally is led by finance sector which gain 2.41% followed by Media, and Nifty bank which gained by 1.41% and 1.24% respectively today. Benchmark Indices closes on very strong note as Sensex closed at 251.12 points up at 34843.51 and Nifty future closed at 59.15 points up at 10745.50. Market breath was neck to neck despite indices closes at very strong note as 899 shares gained while 899 shares losses in NSE and 62 shares remained unchanged.
HDFC, ICICI Bank and Ambuja Cements were top Nifty 50 gainers today and Idea Cellular, Gail and Eichers Motors were top losers today.
Despite market kick off market breath on NSE was neck to neck and Nifty future has not participated in the rally as much today and the reason behind this is that Nifty future is facing upward sloping trend line resistance level around 10770-10795 on daily chart, which resist Nifty future to outperform. Last 2 times Nifty future had faced these resistance level causes to correct almost 4% both time. Now we are sensing that market correction is near the corner but we still have to wait for confirmation.
On Tuesday, Market may open gap up and Nifty future may test the level around 10790-10800 and after that correction is expected in the market and we advised investors and traders to maintain sell position in Nifty future around 10790-10800. Strategy for Tuesday market will be sell on high (around 10790-10800) as market movement is expected to be sideways to negative once Nifty future reaches its respective resistance level.

Nokia Corp (NYSE:NOK) and Ericsson are reportedly bidding alongside Rivada Mercury to set up a wireless broadband network across the US to be used for public safety.
The three companies are bidding for a partnership position with FirstNet. The company that will win the bid will team up with FirstNet to create the public safety broadband network. FirstNet was launched in 2012 as a First Responder Network Authority and the first objective of the authority was to create a high-speed broadband security network that will be available throughout the entire country.
The need for such a system arose after the 9/11 attacks in the US because emergency responders faced a hard time due to poor communication networks. Telecommunications networks were so overloaded that the 9/11 commission demanded a separate wireless spectrum to be assigned to public safety by Congress. FirstNet will most likely select the winner of the bid towards the end of summer. The winner will also receive $6.5 billion that will go towards setting up the infrastructure.
Nokia and Ericsson each have a significant chance to win the contract but Rivada believes it is the best firm positioned to take the win because its plan is supported by former governors Jeb Bush and Martin O’Malley. Rivada is also among the first companies to introduce dynamic spectrum arbitrage. This means it is in a good position to help FirstNet in building the network as well as carrying out maintenance activities over the system.
FirstNet requires the companies bidding for the position to roll out the spectrum for commercial use because emergency responders will not use it all the time. It will mainly be available for largescale emergencies and when they do happen, the spectrum will quickly allocate the bandwidth to the first responders.
Fortune reported that there are other bidders including Motorola and AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T). The final list of bidders has not yet been compiled meaning it might be too early to determine which companies have the best chance of winning the bid.


Global Positioning System or GPS is a system to monitor or track position, usually vehicles, using GPS satellite and GPS receiver. Mining company uses GPS to track location of their trucks that carry coal from mining area to processing area. Withour GPS, operators works very slowly and low in performance level.
GPS Tracking system now can be use not only in mining area, but it’s application is very wide. I think to track vehicles or employees using GPS are usual. Have you ever imagine to track your spouse if you felt she was cheating on you staying out late at night?
If you interested to use GPS, you can buy complete GPS Tracking system both for outdoor and indoor applications at BRICKHOUSE Security. If you having trouble deciding which GPS Tracker is right for you, you can compare it live in the website! 😉

Gennady Aygi (1934-2006) is widely considered to be one of the great avant-garde poets from the former Soviet Union. He was born in Chuvashia, a territory located in the western part of Russia. In 1958 he was expelled from the Literary Institute in Moscow for his first book of poems, which was condemned by the censors as “hostile poetry” because it was written in Chuvash. Being an outsider in the Russian empire had a profound impact on his life and poetry. His poems are infused with an elemental sense of life, mortality, and humanity.
As scholar and translator Sarah Valentine explains in the introduction of her new book of Aygi translations, Into the Snow, “much of Aygi’s poetry is written against darkness, against institutionalized evil, against our tendency to constantly undermine our own humanity and the humanity of our fellows through violence, nationalism, propaganda, and war.”
“I came into contact with Aygi’s poetry in a contemporary poetry course in my PhD study program in Russian Literature at Princeton,” Valentine told me this week via email. “I was so enamored of his work – but also somewhat baffled by it – that I decided to write my dissertation on him and began translating many of his poems in the process.”
“He has a very unique aesthetic among 20th century Russian poets (and among Russian poets in general) and part of the challenge for me has been to articulate exactly how/why it is different and what implications that has for Russian and world poetry/literature.”
Aygi is “an important voice in the poetry of witness of the twentieth century,” says Valentine. “His status as a Chuvash writer writing in the Russian/European traditions, his blend of avant-gardism and spirituality, and his dedication to confronting institutionalized evil while refusing to play into easy dissident politics make him a critical and fascinating voice at the confluence of many traditions.”
Valentine’s artful translations are an excellent introduction to the Russian poet, and her informative preface sheds light on Aygi’s role as a writer within the larger Soviet culture. I found Valentine’s analysis of poetry written in America versus poetry produced in totalitarian societies particularly insightful:
“Though Aygi was a committed experimentalist in his relationship to language, canon, and convention, he was deeply connected to a fully humanist understanding of the purpose and value of poetry. His work bears the mark of deep spirituality in which the poetic process becomes a space for meditation and worship—of our human capacity for creation as much as for otherworldly divinities. Thus the creative force of language is always linked in his work to creation on a cosmic scale.
I think many poets in the United States today struggle with a feeling of irrelevance, of impotence in the face of global-scale crisis. Sidelined in a mass-media, technology-driven culture, the American poet seems to have a slim chance of connecting with an audience, and even less of a chance to effect large-scale change through poetry. But elsewhere in the world many poets, like Aygi in the Soviet Union, wrote and continue to write poetry at the risk of losing their lives and livelihoods. For them poetry is an ethical act, an act of humanity, regardless of the cost. Many of Aygi’s poems confront the political and social crises of his age, but many others are small poems about the beauty of fields and flowers,the birth of a child. Some consist of only a few lines, few words, or a single word, or a single letter.
Why bother? What difference could jotting down a few lines about flowers possibly make? The answer, I think, for Aygi was that each word of each poem was part of a grander project, and exploration of the nature of existence, of our place in this universe—whatever that is—of what lies beyond the limits of our knowing, and of how, through a humane art, we can maintain our connection with all of it. Also, and perhaps most importantly, each poem is a celebration of mystery, of the fact that, though we pursue these questions, life in all its forms is a mysterious gift.”
I have two of Valentine’s translations to share with you this Sunday. Both poems appear in Into the Snow: Selected Poems of Gennady Aygi, now available from Wave Books. Happy Easter!
in the invisible glow
of pulverized melancholy
I know uselessness like the poor know their last piece of clothing
and old utensils
and I know that this uselessness
is what the country needs from me
reliable like a secret pact:
muteness as life
indeed for my whole life
Muteness is a tribute—but silence is for myself
to grow accustomed to silence
like the beating of one’s heart
as if a well-known place there
and is this I am—as Poetry is
and I know
that my work is both hard and for itself alone
like the sleeplessness of the night watchman
at the city graveyard
from Twenty-Eight Variations on
Chuvash and Udmurt Folk Songs
And in the fog
the green oak
has nothing stronger than a branch
to sing with
These hands and this head
will remain with those who died in a foreign land—
smoke from the locomotive hits us in the face,
to rob us of memory once and for all.
And suddenly—peace, as if
I were alone in the world,
and the blizzard out the window, blizzard in the garden,
blizzard in the fields.
And the day fell silent, like something
meaningful in it had died,
and the fox sleeps in the foothills,
covered by its red tail.
Between the Kazakh and Chuvash lands
did you see the post that marks the boundary line?
It is not a post; it is I standing there, petrified
About Gennady Aygi
Gennady Aygi was one of the outstanding Russian poets of the 20th century. His most important works remained virtually unpublished in the Soviet Union until the 1980s, by which time he had been published and translated in more than 20 countries and several times nominated for a Nobel prize.
He was born in the remote village of Shaymurzino in the Chuvash republic, a land with a Turkic language, some 450 miles east of Moscow. His original name was Lisin, which he changed to the older family name of Aygi (meaning “that one”). His father, a teacher of Russian, was killed in action during the second world war. His mother was the daughter of a peasant, one of the last “priests” of the ancient pagan religion.
Showing a precocious gift for poetry, Aygi went to Moscow in 1953 to study at the Literary Institute, and stayed in the writers’ colony of Peredelkino, where Boris Pasternak was a neighbour. He became close to Pasternak, who encouraged him to write in Russian and whose love and gratitude for life remained an inspiration to the younger poet.
From 1960, all Aygi’s major poetry was in Russian. His friendship with Pasternak, at that time being harassed by the authorities, and his own innovative poetics made him persona non grata in Chuvashia. Even so, the fields and forests of his native land permeate his work, and he remained deeply attached to his ancestral culture, striving to give it a place among the cultures of the world. He translated poetry from many languages into Chuvash and produced an Anthology of Chuvash Poetry (published in English by Forest Books in 1991). Eventually, after the perestroika of the late 1980s, his work was acclaimed in his homeland and he became the Chuvash national poet.
His main home, however, was in Moscow, where in the 1960s he found a much-needed support system among “underground” writers, artists and musicians, who together were discovering the forbidden fruits of western culture. For 10 years he worked at the Mayakovsky Museum, acquiring a deep knowledge of the Russian avant garde of the early 20th century. Modern French poetry (above all Baudelaire) was another essential influence, but his personal pantheon also included Nietzsche, Kafka, Norwid, Kierkegaard and many religious writers.
Aygi quickly became known abroad. In 1972 he won a prize from the Académie Française for his Chuvash anthology of French poetry. More dangerously, he was published in the émigré journal Kontinent, which made him a target for attacks at home. During the Brezhnev years he led a precarious life, subsisting mainly on his meagre earnings from translation. He lived in a series of small flats in the outskirts of Moscow, close to the fields and woods.
Perestroika brought radical changes. Aygi was now published in Russia and recognised as a key figure in the Russian avant garde. He was also able to travel widely, he was further translated, received many honours and was invited all over the world to poetry festivals and symposia. He made four visits to Britain, feeling a particular affinity for Scotland, where he made a pilgrimage to the grave of Robert Burns, and for London, the city of his beloved Dickens. Six volumes of his poetry have been published in English, the most important being the bilingual Selected Poems 1954-94 (Angel Books, 1997) and Child-and-Rose (New Directions, 2003).
Aygi remained a controversial figure. For some readers his free verse (still unusual in Russian poetry) was too much to take, and there were accusations of cosmopolitanism and wilful obscurity. His work was highly unusual; writing, as he put it, on the borders of sleep and waking, he created a medium full of ambiguities and silences to suggest visions, anxieties and joys that defied direct statement. His poetry was quiet and simple, refusing the rich vocabulary and rhetoric of some of his contemporaries, yet it was also intensely oral – audiences were overwhelmed by his powerful incantatory delivery.
He wrote from a deep awareness of the losses and destructions of the 20th century. Though many of his poems were devoted to victims of oppression, from Raoul Wallenberg to Varlaam Shalamov, the great writer of the Gulag, his work was not political. It was tragic in essence, yet he always resisted the poetry of despair. One of his collections bears an epigraph attributed to Plato, “The night is the best time for believing in light”, and like Pasternak’s (from which it differs in manner) his poetry was a poetry of light, seeking to assert the values of human community and oneness with the rest of creation.

These videos were created ahead of their upcoming online live 'Kis-My-Ft2 LIVE TOUR 2021 HOME' to be held on May 14, 15, and 16. All of the songs are brand new, and the members collaborated with various artists and creative directors.
Kitayama Hiromitsu's new song "Hai ni Naru Mae ni" was provided by (sic)boy and KM.

Through his song "Boku wo Terasu Mono," Yokoo Wataru tells of his own background. A fan of Studio Ghibli films, Yokoo requested Inoue Naohisa, who was in charge of producing the background art of 'Mimi wo Sumaseba' ('Whisper of the Heart'), to produce the painting for his video.
Fujigaya Taisuke's "Yobu Koe" is a heartwarming song that asks one's heart, "How are you doing lately?" Filmed by photographer Hamada Hideaki, the video shows Fujigaya praising people who live their lives positively no matter what happens.
Tamamori Yuta's "Share Love" is a love song about two people who nurture an ideal relationship of understanding each other without stretching themselves. The MV's theme is "the two and a half minutes that exists today somewhere in the world," and it was directed by Bunkei, who has 157,000 subscribers on YouTube.
Finally, Nikaido Takashi's new song "BRAVE TUNING" was provided by vocaloid producer Kairiki Bear. The song portrays a passionate heart with a brave will.
