The first nationally recognized Girl Scout hiking trail opened recently in our neck of the woods! The mile-long Juliette Gordon Low trail, planned by Girl Scout Ambassador Ellie Leonard to commemorate the founder of the Girl Scouts, was celebrated October 29 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and inaugural walk at West Winds Metropark in Holland.
Leonard, an 18-year-old freshman at the University of New Hampshire, has been a member of the Toledo Girl Scouts since she was 5 years old. She built the trail for her gold award project, the highest achievement in Girl Scouting. Moved by a strong passion for hiking and camping, Leonard wanted to make certain other Girl Scouts were inspired to be actively involved in the outdoors. “I also want to make sure they know that if they are willing to try, they can create positive change in the world,” Leonard shared.
Help from friends and family brings a dream to life
Leonard credits her family and Toledo’s Girl Scout Troop 10407 as an incredible help in both physically clearing out the trail and being a support system throughout the whole process. “My Girl Scout council …helped me connect with different people to bring everything together. The Metroparks staff helped guide me in learning about the process of clearing and creating a trail; they were more than happy to help me put the trail in, and were an immense help along the way. Preparing the area for the trail began with clearing the woods. We pulled an obscene amount of garbage out, something I was lucky enough to have volunteers help with. The trail was then cut by the park,” Leonard said.
Recognizing a young leader and positive role model
Toledo Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson presented Ellie Leonard with a Proclamation recognizing the outstanding achievement and its effect on the well-being and growth of the Toledo community.
“I am honored to be here today. This is exciting because of the leadership displayed by a young person,” said Mayor Hicks-Hudson. “This young woman decided to connect with the historical origin of the Girl Scouts. Ellie is a wonderful example of leadership among young people in our community. I like to say young people are not our future, they are our present.”
Leonard urged, “For young leaders or those who would like to make a difference…it is definitely possible. If they think they have an idea they should pursue it. There is a lot of hard work involved in bringing ideas to life, but all of the hard work is worth it.” Kudos, Ellie!


Monday 1PM: Final tally is in and is an even bigger than expected $207.4 million with an utterly incredible $47,698 per screen across 4,300 screens.
Sunday 10AM: Saturday’s domestic takings came in at $69.7 million, the highest Saturday take of all time. Disney has now issued an opening weekend estimate of $200.3 million (and that’s a slightly conservative figure). The final actual figures will be revealed tomorrow morning.
Meanwhile the film’s cumulative global box office gross is an estimated $641.8 million over 12 days in release. Audiences also gave the movie a perfect ‘A+’ CinemaScore.
Sunday 3AM: It broke many opening weekend records in its international release, now “Marvel’s The Avengers” is about to do the same in the United States.
Deadline reports that the film scored a whopping $80.5 million on Friday (including $18.7M in midnight previews), while it’s looking like it’ll nab an incredible $68+ million haul this Saturday.
Even with the expected Sunday drop off, the film will breeze past current top record holder “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two” which scored $169.2 million for its three-day opening weekend.
The real question is how close the Sunday revenues will get it to $200 million. It might even be the first ever film to break that barrier, assuming it does as exceptionally well on Sunday as it has been doing over the past two days.

Drake Stars in T-Mobile Commercial
For those of you who watch the Super Bowl for the commercials, Drake is giving us a sneak peek of the action with his T-Mobile ad.
In the 30-second clip, the rapper is filming the video for his popular hit “Hotline Bling” when three executives from a wireless carrier interrupt him by offering revisions to the lyrics.
One lady says, “When you say, ‘Call me on my cell phone,’ just add, ‘device eligible for upgrade after 24 months.'”
Another suggests, “You need to include that streaming music will incur data charges.”
The rapper seems pretty open to the ideas, replying, “These changes don’t ruin the song at all.”
Was he being sarcastic? We’ll let you decide. Check it out below.

I want you to go to where the roads meet, and say your name. – The Thin Man
As a horror nut, I end up watching a lot of movies. I’ve seen a good chunk of the films that show up on top 10 lists for scariest horror flicks. I don’t get spooked easily. That is to say, it takes more than your run of the mill Saw or Final Destination movie to freak me out. Last night I was faced with a choice of watching another terrible episode of True Blood, or check out a well reviewed horror flick called At The Devil’s Door. After my download of True Blood wouldn’t work, I took it as a sign and settled down with my cats to check out the movie. I am trying not to over hype this movie, but it’s pretty fucking great.
The movie tells the story of Hanna, who falls in love with a boy while vacationing in California. It’s 1987 and when the boy convinces her to play a mysterious game with a creepy old man in exchange for 500 smackeroos, she says why not? What follows is an incredibly creepy and well crafted story of possession and the Devil.
The film plays out in a style that reminded me of The Grudge, in that it tells three loosely related stories. In the 80s we have Hanna, who enjoys standing at the cross roads and shoes. In the modern day we have Leigh, a real estate agent tasked with selling Hanna’s old house in the present day. I won’t spoil the third act/storyline, but suffice to say they manage to fit a ton into a very short running time. The film never feels rushed or over stuffed. Instead we are treated to innovative and stylish takes on standard possession horror tropes. The terror is complemented by some of the best light touches of CGI and some great practical effects.
It’s hard to get into the plot too much without spoiling things, but any fan of quality horror films and possession tales need to check this gem out. It’s currently on Video on Demand, and well worth it.

Someone that shall remain nameless constantly haggles me RS calls out the wrong distance to a waypoint.
Should I spend days if not weeks figuring out how to calculate the distance this chap desires?
- He could simply place the waypoint at the blue dot
Or should I ignore nameless and move on to more important things like the smilies to emojis conversion.
Those with the math or logic skills to solve the above please message me.
Already have the logic to
- find the nearest track
- find nearest point in track ( series of coordinates )
Need logic to
- find the nearest distance within x feet of waypoint
- seems we need to know every point in the line within x feet then take the one with the least distance to reach
I don't get where the 14.7 miles came from. Is it 14.7 miles from where he started and he's now about 3/4 of the way through a ~20 mile trip? If you're using distances along an out-and-back track, it can be tricky to pick the right one. One could probably design a track to fool any given algorithm. Anyway, I can survive without a numerical readout of the distance. I can tell from the map roughly how far it is. I vote for placing the waypoint at the blue dot.

When a person or family decides they want to experience a once in a lifetime adventure, they often choose to travel. It may seem like a daunting task, but nothing could be further from the truth if you remain calm. Before you leave, be certain you have essential documents like passports and visas, and make sure you follow the advice here to help you.
Take a minimum of valuable items with you when you travel. You are taking the risks of having everything stolen from you if you do bring valuables with you.
Making travel arrangements far in advance can help keep your trip affordable. Most things that you need for your trip will get more expensive as your trip approaches. Steering clear of last-minute expenses will reduce the overall cost of your trip.
If you have a pet, bring him or her with you if it is allowed. There are many pet friendly hotels and vacation sites now. You will find that while many chain hotels allow pets, you can even take them to some Las Vegas casino hotels and on some cruises. Don’t be afraid to bring your furry pals with you- just make sure they are allowed before you do.
You will pay far too much for these items, and you will not really save that much room in your luggage. Try to save space in other ways, like packing more efficiently or eliminating unnecessary items. These tips and tricks can help you to create more space in your bag as you pack.
Prior to booking a hotel, ask if renovations will be taking place during that time. You surely do not want to deal with the noise of construction workers everywhere when you are trying to relax.

The latest release of government communications regarding the chief technology officer (CTO) job position has led to more confusion, the National Party says.
The government released dozens of heavily redacted documents today.
They include communications between Jacinda Ardern and the former Minister Clare Curran on WhatsApp, in which they discussed the CTO appointment process.
It comes two days after the man who was lined up for the role, Derek Handley, released his own text and email communications with Ms Ardern and Ms Curran.
Ms Curran's already lost her ministerial portfolios over the saga, and National deputy leader Paula Bennett said these latest communications made it clear Ms Ardern had not been up front about the extent of her involvement.
"I find it absolutely outstanding that so many people are involved," Mrs Bennett said.
"Clare Curran's almost been thrown under a bus, and we now have the prime minister, we have a chief of staff, we have a press secretary, a party president, all involved in this process.
"And I have to say, the prime minister and her office are in the thick of it."
The new Minister for Government Digital Services Megan Woods - who stopped the recruitment process for the CTO position when she took over Ms Curran's portfolio - rejected Mrs Bennett's assertion.
"It is clear from these communications that the prime minister was not involved in the shortlisting of candidates, and that Clare acted independently in determining who the candidates were."
She said the documents confirmed Mr Handley was offered the role, pending conflict of interest checks.
Mr Handley was paid out $100,000 - a quarter of the salary he was set to make as the CTO - after the government cancelled his job offer.
Ms Ardern, in New York, yesterday denied having any involvement with Mr Handley she should not have.
"I've always said that I've had communications with him," Ms Ardern said.
"When I was first asked I acknowledged that I've had contact with him. I acknowledged receiving messages in April. And again, he sent me one message mentioning the CTO role and I did not engage with him on that, as it would not have been appropriate."
Dr Woods is now going to take another look at what the country needs in the context of a leader in the digital sector.
"One of the things that I've asked officials to go back and do is actually consider what the core functions of the role are as a first place to start this re-scoping," Dr Woods said.

Eagles 27, Bengals 17
Who needs to talk?
The Philadelphia Eagles' standout wide receiver, Terrell Owens, and star quarterback, Donovan McNabb, might be barely on speaking terms, but they remain on touchdown-scoring terms. On the first play of their first preseason game together this year, Owens raced past two Cincinnati Bengals defenders and grabbed McNabb's deep pass for a 64-yard touchdown, and instantly it didn't seem to matter whether the two can stand each another.
"They'll be fine," Eagles Coach Andy Reid said. "Sometimes actions speak louder than words."
Owens stood in the end zone after scoring his touchdown, put his hands on his hips and nodded repeatedly toward the crowd at Lincoln Financial Field. Not a boo could be heard among the raucous cheering. Any fans who had come to disparage Owens, the wildly productive but wildly controversial wideout who has elicited the scorn of so many sports observers nationwide as his bitter contract dispute with the Eagles has raged on, apparently just gave up and joined the celebration.
Owens finished the first half with five catches for 131 yards, then got the rest of the night off. Reid said that Owens aggravated his strained groin muscle late in the half. McNabb, in his one half of work, connected on 14 of 23 throws for 256 yards and three touchdowns as the Eagles raced to a 27-3 lead at the break and then turned things over to the backups, who finished up the 27-17 triumph.
"It was good that we were able to get out there in a game situation and try to work on our combination, our chemistry," McNabb said. "We still obviously have some work to do, but it's a good sign."
Owens, donning his now-trademark headphones, did not speak to reporters after the game. There was no obvious interaction between Owens and McNabb during the game, but McNabb said they had some brief exchanges on "business issues." McNabb said he told Owens "good job" on the sideline, and Owens said "thanks" to him after McNabb told an official that a penalty should have been called on a horse-collar tackle on Owens -- the same sort of tackle on which Owens suffered a severe ankle injury last season.
"It's still early," McNabb said. "We'll communicate. We did a little bit of communicating today."
Still, Owens and McNabb celebrated their touchdown separately.
"It's not hard at all," McNabb said. "We're both able to do it. Let's just not blow it way out of proportion. We were able to go out for the first time this preseason and be able to get our chemistry and our timing where we want them to be. There's obviously still some time for us to work on that. We were both excited, if we celebrated together or if we celebrated with our other teammates, whatever it may be. We communicated in a way that was suited to both of us."
The Owens soap opera remains virtually the only subject on local sports shows, with opinions alternating between the belief that he's a troublemaker who should be ushered out of town and the view that he is a spoiled troublemaker who should be tolerated long enough to see if he can help the Eagles to another Super Bowl.
This was Owens's first appearance in front of Philadelphia fans since the latest blowup in the saga. Practices had been closed to the public since Owens rejoined the team last week after a one-week banishment by Reid for Owens's training camp behavior, in which he was refusing to participate in autograph sessions for fans and declining to speak to the club's assistant coaches as well as to McNabb. The fans' reaction to him had been mixed early in training camp with more boos than cheers initially but the crowd gradually warmed to him when he made positive plays.
There was no opportunity to gauge fan reaction to Owens before the game Friday night, as the Eagles took the field as a team, without any individual player introductions. The Eagles received the opening kickoff and Owens, who had missed the club's first two exhibition games because of the suspension by Reid and his groin injury, lined up to the right of the formation on a first-down play from the Philadelphia 36-yard line.
He ran past cornerback Deltha O'Neal, who let Owens go because he had deep help from safety Kim Herring. But Owens sprinted past Herring, too, and was wide open by the time McNabb unleashed his throw from the pocket. Owens stumbled slightly but managed to haul in the pass and get into the end zone easily.
"It turned out pretty good," said Reid, who indicated that Owens's groin injury could keep him from participating in a team carnival for fans on Sunday. "I thought it was a pretty good call. We thought we were going to get a certain coverage, and we thought we could take advantage of it. It was great to get those two connected."
It was reminiscent of last year, when Owens caught an 81-yard touchdown pass from McNabb on the Eagles' first play of their preseason home opener against the Baltimore Ravens. That play had special meaning because the Ravens were the team that Owens had snubbed that offseason, wanting to play with McNabb in Philadelphia. That time, McNabb punctuated the celebration by drawing the letters "T.O." in the air with his finger, but that was long before Owens took verbal swipes this past offseason at McNabb's Super Bowl performance and called the quarterback a "hypocrite" following his suspension by Reid.
This time, there were no such gyrations by McNabb. He hugged center Hank Fraley, then went to the sideline. The Eagles got the ball back, and McNabb promptly connected with Owens for 31 yards on the team's second offensive play of the evening. Owens grabbed a pass in the end zone on the next play, but couldn't keep both feet inbounds.

Using a K-Series chassis which was soon to be out of production making way for the Type 964, the Speedster was styled paying tribute to its ancestor featuring a cut-down slanted removable windshield and a thin fabric folding top combined with the 'double hump' clamshell fibreglass tonneau cover.
The Speedster was fitted with the air-cooled horizontally opposed 3.2 litre Flat-Six and the favoured G50 5 Speed manual transmission that fed all 217 ponies back to its rear wheels.
Typically, the 911 Speedster is highly exclusive to own due to most examples being swept up by collectors globally and with so few made worldwide it has always been incredibly difficult to get your hands on one.
Australian delivered, numbers matching and one of just 40 cars to make it to our shores this 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster was sold new by Scuderia Veloce Motors Sydney in September of 1989 where it was ordered in Guards Red over Black trim.
Optioned with the M491 Turbo-Look Wide body, Shorter Shifter Lever, Electronically Adjustable Comfort seats with Drivers-side Lumbar Support and Air-Conditioning.
With the paintwork still in superb condition, indicative of the low kilometres travelled with just 23,000 documented kilometres on the clock, the leather seats, dash and door cards show minimal to no signs of age, the original Porsche stereo is still accounted for and all of the switch gear is factory fresh.
Recently released from a private collection and prior to that long-term ownership, this exceedingly original car still carries all of its factory decals and under-bonnet trim label along with its original tool roll, air compressor kit, receipts from recent service works in February 2018 (travelling just 39 kilometres since), owner's manual and maintenance booklet all bound within the vinyl Porsche wallet.
With great provenance, low delivery numbers and very few kilometres on the clock your collection wouldn’t be complete without this totally iconic 911 Speedster.

ARTMargins (2017) 6 (2): 93–109.
Published: 01 June 2017
AbstractView article PDF
This introductory essay examines the role of two articles on the Cuban painters Roberto Álvarez Ríos and Wifredo Lam, “A Young Cuban Painter Before Surrealism: Álvarez Ríos” (1962) and “Lam” (1977), in the French Marxist philosopher Louis Althusser's writing on art. It argues that these largely ignored articles offer snapshots of two key shifts in Althusser's thought: his transition, during the early 1960s, from Hegelian Marxism to structural Marxism, and, during the late 1970s, from structural Marxism to so-called aleatory materialism. It contextualizes the articles in the social and political milieu of French philosophy during the 1960s and 70s and shows how his articles on the Cuban painters, specifically, and art, more generally, are largely concerned with contemporary developments in the third world, a subject that receives scant attention elsewhere in his work. The articles not only register Althusser's reflections on Lacanian psychoanalysis, the nature of language, and the philosophy of history, but also reveal that his connections with Latin America to exceed mere questions of intellectual reception.

Words from Vacheron Constantin:
“Circular perfection, a quest for essentials, harmonious proportions. Patrimony epitomises stylistic purity, inspired by Vacheron Constantin models from the 1950s” (Vacheron-Constantin.com).
Sized at 41mm, this Patrimony watch of Vacheron Constantin is built out of 18k 5N pink gold. Compare to conventional 4N pink gold, 5N pink gold uses 8.5% more copper (4N has 12% => 5N has 20.5%). Addition of copper gives the reddish tint to the yellow gold, and the increase in the copper percentage gives this case more of a red gold color to it.
Beside the copper percentage, it is a high polished case that basically does not have any resistance against water. As Vacheron States, they did not include any gaskets to enhance the sound of the minute-repeater system. Therefore, company asks this watch to be protected from any encounter of liquid and dust.
Lastly, with the Ultra-Thin in the name, this Patrimony watch has thickness of 8.1mm. With such a thin case, this watch should fit well with more formal and dressy situations.
Back of the watch is also composed of 18k 5N pink gold with the transparent sapphire glass back. Around the ring are the Vacheron Constantin branding and logo with various reference number, Geneva seal logo, serial number, and Au750 that certifies 18k gold.
Sapphire glass in the middle well displays the gorgeous movement with two gongs for the minute-repeater function.
III. Dial, Bezel, and Crown
Similar to the rest of the watch, everything from the indexes, hands, bezel, and crown are all made out of 18k 5N rose gold.
On the Opaline dial are the rose gold bar and triangle indexes with an off-center small seconds near the 8 o’clock marking.
Bezel is simple yet classic smooth bezel that is adorned by the crown and repeating slide. Crown is a conventional crown with the first position for manual winding and second position for adjusting time. It also has a Vacheron Constantin logo on the side.
Repeating slide that is located on the left of the watch activates the minute repeater functionality when wound clockwise. With the activation comes first the hours on a low note, then the quarters sounding alternating low and high notes, and lastly the minutes on a high note. This functionality was first used for visually impaired people to tell time and before the spread of electricity.
Going with the classic and elegant design language is the balck alligator Mississippiensis leather strap. Unlike most of other watches that only uses alligator leather on outer side, Vacheron Constantin’s Patrimony watch’s bracelet has alligator leather on both side.
Finishing up the preminum double sided alligator leather strap is the 18k 5N pink gold Ardillon buckle. Overall, the combination fills in the last piece of puzzle to a proper dress watch.
Included in the name, the movement used on this Patrimony model is the Calibre 1731. This movement is a rather complicated movement that houses the minute-repeater function. Consisted of 265 parts and 36 jewels, this movement has approciamately 65 hours of power reserve. However, as Calibre 1731 is a manual winding movement, it needs to be wound to function.
One hallmark that this movement achieved is the famous Geneva seal. Geneva seal is a hallmark that addresses the high-end Geneva watch brands and gurantees of quality, durability, and workmanship. However, recently, Geneva seal has appeared on more and more brands and models, making people question if the hallmark of Geneva is still guaranteeing the same standards as what it represented in the past.
VI. Conclusion and Pricing
This watch of Vacheron Constantin is a phenomenal watch. Vacheron Constantin’s history and brand value is accepted world wide and guarantees quality. Also, engineering such a complicated movement of minute-repeater into a case that is only 8.1mm thick is not cheap (being the thinnest manual-winding minute repeater on the market).
Reflecting upon what all this watch brings, this Patrimony model of Vacheron Constantin is priced at 339,000 USD. Even though it is a very expensive watch, it aims for the niche market that wants the best of the best. It is a beautiful and high complication watch that is hard to justify the cost without fully understanding the value and history of Vacheron Constantin. With that said, for people who are able to afford this watch, it is a beautiful and well engineered watch that is an one of a kind.

By Goddy Egene
The President of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), Mr. Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede has called on the federal government to incorporate the capital market into its policy making process in order to create an enabling environment for investment, entrepreurship that will lead to economic growth and development.
Aig-Imoukhuede, who made the call at the 12th annual Pearl Awards public lecture for capital market development in Lagos, said that the country would not experience any meaningful growth without the capital market.
According to him, economic growth is the panacea to most of the country’s challenges, stressing that there should therefore be increased dialogue between policy makers and the capital market stakeholders.
“Public and private sector cooperation, collaboration and partnership are required. The NSE and other capital market stakeholders are ready, capable and willing to do what is required for Nigeria’s socio-economic recovery,”Aig-Imoukhuede said.
In order to deepen the market, Aig-Imoukhuede explained that major companies operating in telecommunications and oil and gas sectors as well as national champions not yet listed should be encouraged to list on the NSE.
He noted that one of the ways to achieve this, stimulate growth and development is through incentives.
The former managing director of Access Bank, said that government must have both technical and business expertise that would put together quality infrastructure projects with the right risk and return ratio to attract capital.
He stated that the existing legal and regulatory framework should be reviewed to reduce bottlenecks and promote economic activities.
Aig-Imoukhuede , who spoke on: “Global and National Socio-economic challenges and renaissance: Whiter the Nigerian capital market?,
added that Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) should be encouraged to invest in public infrastructure.
He said that roadshows to attract international funds/investors with infrastructure focus should be encouraged.
Speaking in the same vein, former Director General of NSE, Apostle Hayford Alile urged government to hand over schools to the missionaries in order to grow the nation’s educational sector and inculcate virtues and morals into the system.
“Some of us that seek recruitment interview have gone through the agony of having graduates finding it difficult to spell their names. Authority should manage our social environment well and keep it free from corruption, stealing and other vices. Those corrupt should be dealt with instantly. The global negative perception of Nigeria is regrettable. I commend the law enforcement agencies for the work done so far,” he declared.

CORPUS CHRISTI — Port of Corpus Christi commissioners accepted a bid from Occidental Petroleum Corp.’s subsidiary for the campus portion of the former Naval Station Ingleside.
Oxy Ingleside Property Holdings submitted the only bid of $7 million for the 100-acre section, along with a $1 million cash deposit.
All six commissioners present at a special meeting Tuesday approved the bid.
Though the campus portion would fall under a separate contract — with approval on a different schedule — Oxy’s bid means that by later this year, the company could own all of the former naval base and more than 460 acres of adjacent port-owned property.
A purchase agreement for the campus portion will be considered by port commissioners during their next regular meeting Aug. 14, said Tom Moore, the port’s consultant for the sale of the former naval base.
If approved, Oxy will get a 35-day due diligence period for the campus portion, followed by 60 days to close on that section — terms identical to the pending agreement for the larger section.
The campus is the third and final chunk of the former naval base for the port to sell.
The entire property was appraised at $110 million. The craft pier was sold to Flint Hills Resources for $8.5 million, and Oxy will buy everything but the campus portion for $82.1 million. By subtraction, that would leave the campus portion’s value at about $19 million.
However, the campus was never individually appraised, Moore said.
The decision was made to go out for sealed bids for the property after about two years not having any buyers interested in the campus section, Moore said.
Paul Thomas, manager for the corporation’s nearby Oxy Chem Ingleside plant, said closing on the rest of the former naval station and port land for the full appraised value of more than $82.1 million could come as early as next week.
Thomas said buying the campus fits into the company’s business strategy for the base.
“Oxy has said we saw value in it,” Thomas said. “It sits in the heart of the larger footprint of our primary interest, so it’s kind of the last piece of that puzzle.”
During a presentation before Ingleside City Council in June, Oxy officials said they plan on a phased development of the surrounding base and adjacent property worth roughly $1 billion that could support as many as 200 direct and indirect jobs.
The first phase could be piping in liquefied petroleum gas from Eagle Ford Shale production and loading it onto barges.
Other possible phases could be a liquefied natural gas facility and storage for crude oil, condensate or refined products.
Thomas said Tuesday a lot of the permitting work for the company’s plans is under way.
By the company’s estimate, development could mean an extra $2.5 million in property tax revenues for every $100 million in increased property value.
Ingleside’s council has approved Oxy’s request to rezone the larger property as industrial, with a portion of the land where the company is allowed to pursue exceptions to what is allowed under the city’s industrial zone rules.
Oxy will need to repeat the zoning process for the campus section, starting with the city’s zoning board and final approval by the City Council, Ingleside City Manager Jim Gray said.
The company on Tuesday was working on getting permission to act as an agent of the port to begin that process, Moore said.
Thomas said nothing at this point would deter Oxy’s goal of reaching a final agreement on the 815-acre base and port property.
Thomas also said he doesn’t foresee the due diligence period for the campus being the same as for the larger property.
Other details continue, including the removal of an oil rig that damaged some pilings on the dock Oxy will buy as part of the base. The port has agreed to pay the cost.
The port’s appeal of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wetlands determination also continues. The Corps concluded the undeveloped land next to the former base had 19 acres of wetlands scattered among ponds and hundreds of depressions that would require permits before being altered.
After ownership is transferred to Oxy, the port loses its standing to pursue the challenge.

Which country does PNG export coffee to?
PNG produces roughly one million bags of green coffee beans annually (annual world production is currently about 125 million bags). It exported coffee to 29 countries in 2006, with the major coffee markets being Germany, the United States, Japan and Australia.
Does Papua New Guinea produce coffee?
About 95% of the coffee is high-grown washed Arabica, which thrives in favourable weather conditions of the highland areas. Coffee is Papua New Guinea’s most valuable agricultural export, with approximately one million bags per year being shipped to Germany, Australia, Japan, the United States and the UK.
Is Papua New Guinea coffee good?
Arabica and Robusta Coffee At least 95% of the coffee grown in New Guinea is of the Arabica variety. Grown at high elevations, this coffee is of very high quality. The small amount of Robusta produced in New Guinea is grown in the Sepik lowlands and around Milne Bay.
What are the benefits of coffee in Papua New Guinea?
Coffee is the second leading agricultural commodity in Papua New Guinea (PNG), after oil palm, and contributes substantially to foreign exchange earnings, employment and national GDP. Between 2012 and 2017, coffee accounted for 27% of total agricultural export and 6% of GDP, translating to about K450 million annually.
What are the main industries in Papua New Guinea?
The major economic sectors in Papua New Guinea are: Agriculture and Livestock, Forestry, Mining and Petroleum, Tourism and Hospitality, Fisheries and Marine resources, Manufacturing, Retailing and Wholesaling, Building and Construction, Transport and Telecommunications, and Finance and Business Trade.
Why is coffee grown in the highlands?
Coffee is grown in many tropical countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia, where the weather is warm and humid as the coffee loves it. As mentioned earlier, Arabica prefers highlands while Robusta settles well in the low. While the coffee itself will grow happily on slopes, soil erosion must be controlled.

What coffee is from Papua New Guinea?
Washed mild arabica highland coffee dominates the industry in Papua New Guinea (PNG), accounting for 95% of production, the other 5% being lowland washed robusta. The robusta coffee is of poorer quality, being darker, more bitter, with less flavour that the Arabic variety is generally used for cheaper instant coffee.
Why is Guatemalan coffee so good?
Guatemala is the Mecca for coffee farmers — and for very good reasons. Guatemala’s unique growing region, with a mild subtropical climate, combined with nutrient-rich volcanic soil, create an ideal environment for growing some of the most delicious coffee beans in the market.
Who introduced coffee in Papua New Guinea?
Coffee production in PNG dates back to 1926/1927 when the first Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee seeds were planted. The Coffee Research Institute claims that coffee was introduced to British Papua in 1890, although it is widely accepted that commercial production only took off in the country in the late 1920s.
What religion is Papua New Guinea?
The dominant religion among Papua New Guinea’s population is Christianity (95.6%), followed by indigenous beliefs (3.3%). Within the Papua New Guinean-born population in Australia, the 2011 census identified most as Christian, with 32.1% identifying as Catholic, 12.3% as Anglican and 10.8% as Uniting Church.
What is the average temperature of Papua New Guinea?
Papua New Guinea has a hot, humid tropical climate which is experienced all year round. The country experiences two distinctive seasons: wet (December – March) and dry (June – September). The average monthly rainfall ranges between 250 – 350 mm and average temperature is between 26 – 28°C.

From locations in Goroka and Mount Hagen, Monpi Coffee Exports sources the best quality beans from communities of smallholder growers and local plantations throughout the coffee-producing areas of the PNG highlands.
What makes monpi coffee good for Papua New Guinea?

A fictionalized account of the author’s parents’ lives in Kansas City, Missouri, criminal underworld of the 1960s.
After growing up in foster care, author Reynolds (Brush Creek Charlie, 2015, etc.) discovered that his biological parents were career criminals. This startling revelation inspired him to dive into their history, resulting in this unusual book, which aims for James Ellroy–esque true-crime heights but ultimately settles for overheated pulp. According to this account, Reynolds’ parents, Gordon McCoyd “Mack” Reynolds, who was white, and Alla Mae Briggs, who was African-American, met when she was plying her trade as a street prostitute. Combining their talents, they went into business running a “bawdy house” in Kansas City’s red-light district: “I’m a good judge of character,” Mack tells Alla in this text. “My heart, my mind, my soul, my spirit—they tell me that I can trust you.” Kansas City was a key moneymaker for the Chicago Mafia, and Reynolds deftly captures the city’s colorful characters and their smoke-filled haunts: William “Willie the Rat” Cammisano reputedly “had stolen everything, from the wheels of a truck to the rings off a woman’s fingers,” the author writes, and even when “Godfather of the Black Mafia” James “Doc” Dearborn smiled, “it appeared as though he was still very angry about something.” Reynolds says he had access to extensive police records, but rather than take a reportorial approach, he embellishes the narrative with invented, often stilted dialogue: “We’ve been with Mack for quite some time,” one woman says as she’s being tortured. Reynolds portrays his main characters, an interracial couple, as crossing racial lines, but the fact that they encounter brutal racists nearly everywhere they go strains credulity. He gives credit to Mack for showing “compassion for the coloreds,” as Mack puts it, but the character’s fundamental, and extremely unsympathetic, personality trait is to express sadistic fury at almost every turn. There are scenes of violence that would make Quentin Tarantino blanch and also explicit sex scenes, as when a prostitute and her client are transported to “an orgasmic fairyland.”
An unevenly executed novel but one that brings its smoke-filled milieu to life.

closed doors of crime, and the opened doors where justice is served.

where Santa Fe ends and Albuquerque begins. Dan finally makes it to the
top of the ladder with success in his career, but his law practice, and
good reputation becomes threatened when he is informed that his girlfriend Ophalia is involved in a murder case. His life is about to
change as quick as a lightbulb with major decisions he needs to make
as he desperately tries to protect his career and reputation, while
attempting to defend Ophalia. He finds himself in a sinking ship
after he hires a beautiful, seductive Luna Cruz to help him with the
case as he falls in love with her. What strings must Dan pull in the
world of politics to save Ophalia? Will Luna drown with him in his
sinking ship? Is Ophalia innocent, or guilty of killing the governor's
wife, and dumping her body in a ditch? Will justice be served, and for
whom? I recommend "La Bajada Lawyer" to all thriller lovers and for
reader's who enjoy suspense, and drama in a colorful dialogue, entertained by strange characters with a sense of humor. Jonathan Miller's expertise as an attorney in the field of criminal law,
combined with his admiration for Albuquerque shines through in his
writing. He leads the reader by the hand to the inside scenes of the

world that's covered in crime. He clearly describes the good, the bad,

page turner from beginning to end as the reader becomes extremely
curious to find out the verdict. This novel is one that would indeed
light up a movie screen with its intense drama, packed with twists-and-turns, leaving the reader on the edge of their seat. It's a
suspenseful whodunit, an engrossing thriller, and is as intense as
"JOHN Q" with Denzel Washington!

"La Bajada Lawyer" stars the Rattlesnake Lawyer Dan Shepard, an attorney who is on the brink of becoming a major player in the state. La Bajada is the descent "where Santa Fe ends and Albuquerque begins."
The book starts off with Dan being bonded out of jail and tongue-in-cheek asks to be sent back when he finds out who is doing the bailing. We then go back to where the story begins - at an election night party with a governor who has hopes for national office. Sound familiar?
But his opponent has run a tough campaign, and on the night of the election the underdog, C de Baca, announces that his wife was murdered and he suspects the current governor's camp is involved.
What Dan doesn't know is how his new girlfriend is involved in the whole mess. Is she guilty of killing the wife of the new governor or is she innocent?
Complicating things further, Dan is on the verge of "making it" by becoming a full-fledged Santa Fe lawyer, rather than a "La Bajada" lawyer - traveling from Albuquerque to the more sophisticated Santa Fe. But will his new relationship muddy up his plans for success? Should he defend his girlfriend or is he falling in love with the lawyer he turned to for help?
Much of the book contrasts the two major New Mexican cities and Dan's two love interests. The interests are the slightly-flaky girlfriend Lia and the venerable fellow attorney Luna Cruz, who has previously starred in a few of Miller's books.
"La Bajada Lawyer" is hilarious and as a practicing attorney from Albuquerque, Miller certainly knows his stuff, which gives more authenticity to the story. Miller has an insider's knowledge of the state and of court dealings, which are both detailed nicely. If you live in or are from New Mexico, you'll smile knowingly when reading about the familiar settings.
If you read any of Miller's books, you will notice Heidi Hawk, a Native American woman, make another guest appearance in this one. She is in each of his fiction books, which include Miller's debut "Rattlesnake Lawyer," and his follow-up "Crater County," as well as "Volcano Verdict."
Some of his recurring characters are also in the book including Jen Song and the New Mexico superwoman Luna Cruz, of course. I did wish there was more of Luna in this book since she is such a great, strong character and the world of the people Miller created is moving rather quickly. She needs another book of her own, like "Volcano Verdict."
"La Bajada Lawyer" is fast-paced and full of suspense. If you enjoy thrillers, legal fiction, crime or books set in New Mexico, try Jonathan Miller.

JNU violence: Delhi Police registers FIR against unknown ABVP studentstext_fields
New Delhi: The Delhi Police on Monday said they have registered a first information report (FIR) against unknown Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) members in connection with Sunday's clash at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).
The clash between two groups of students, over non-vegetarian food being served in the hostel mess on the day of Ram Navami, officials said today.
Students who were injured, and JNU Students' Union officials say the trouble started when chicken, a regular item of the hostel menu, was brought to the Cauvery Hostel at JNU, was 'banned' by the ABVP on Sunday, claiming that there was a Ram Navami pooja on campus. In the attack by ABVP activists that followed, several students were injured. ABVP activists used batons and tube lights as Delhi police and university security staff silently stood by. Many students were admitted to the hospital with bleeding heads after suffering the beating by assailants.
The student hostel secretaries did not approve of the non-vegetarian ban on Sunday which the ABVP workers made by influencing the Cauvery hostel warden. The secretaries asked the supplier to bring the chicken as usual. However, the ABVP men threatened and chased away the distributor who came in the afternoon, and they proceeded with the pooja on the campus which ended at 6 p.m.
It was after this that the ABVP confronted the students with weapons at night in front of the Kaveri hostel, including the leaders of the Left student organizations who challenged the ban on meat. Dolan Samantha, an injured left-wing student leader, said an ABVP activist attacked them with a tube light and caused physical injuries to his arm and also language abusing femininity.
Aisha Ghosh, president of the JNU Students' Union, said that despite several calls to the Delhi Police and JNU authorities, they did not take any action to stop the attack by the ABVP workers.
The JNU student union accused ABVP activists of creating an atmosphere of violence in the Kaveri hostel with hate politics and divisive agenda. The union said the menu at the JNU hostels included vegetarian and non-vegetarian food and students had the option to choose either. The students marched to the police station demanding registration of an FIR against the ABVP attackers.
Meanwhile, the ABVP has come out explaining that blocking the Ram Navami Puja was the cause of the clash.
Police said the FIR has been registered based on a complaint filed by members of JNUSU, SFI, DSF and AISA early this morning against unknown ABVP students.
The FIR has been registered under sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 341 (wrongful restraint), 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 34 (Acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the Indian Penal Code. "Further probe is on to collect evidence and identify culprits," officials said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Manoj C said that ABVP members have intimated that they will also be filing a complaint today. "On receipt of the same necessary appropriate legal action will be taken, he added.
Both sides have accused each other of throwing stones and injuring their members. After the violence, the JNUSU and ABVP students took out separate marches inside the university campus to protest against the clash.
Police said they rushed to the campus with their teams soon after receiving the PCR call and ensured no further escalation of violence. The injured students were then taken to nearby hospitals for treatment, officials said.

They guide you through the path to weight loss surgery and let you know which procedure is best for you. Schedule an appointment by phone or book online to learn more.
Path to Weight Loss Surgery Q & A
What is the path to weight loss surgery?
The path to weight loss surgery includes a series of steps developed by Dr. Stowers for before and after surgery that maximize your weight loss success. The team at The Bariatric Experts™ will provide support and education all along the way, and you never feel like you are doing it alone.
What are the steps needed for weight loss surgery?
The steps on the path to weight loss surgery include:
Make an appointment
To make an appointment for a weight loss surgery consultation, just call The Bariatric Experts™ office or send an appointment request online.
Attend an initial consultation
When you make an appointment with Dr. Stowers and his team, you can expect a complete, customized program to aid in your weight loss goals. The Bariatric Experts™ offer financial, clinical, and nutrition support every step of your journey to maximize success.
During your initial consultation, you meet with a weight loss surgeon, dietitian, and financial specialist to learn if weight loss surgery matches your needs and expectations. The team will answer any questions you have, whether clinical, nutritional, or financial. Once you have met with the team, you will have all the information you need to make the decision to proceed with life-changing surgery.
Medical clearances are required prior to weight loss surgery. All patients must undergo a psychological evaluation that is done over the phone. After Dr. Stowers meets with you, he will determine, based on your medical history, whether you may need further medical clearances. These additional clearances could include cardiac testing, sleep study, EGD, or other diagnostic tests.
The next step in the path to weight loss is scheduling your surgery. The Bariatric Experts™ team works with you to find a time that fits your schedule and works to efficiently package the appointment requirements into as few days as possible. We take care of many out of town patients and try to minimize the amount of time and travel our patients have
All patients will receive specific pre-surgery instructions prior to undergoing weight loss surgery. These instructions include covid testing procedures, medication changes prior to surgery, dietary and discharge instructions, to name a few, and are accomplished via direct patient communication and attendance at your pre-op office visit.
During bariatric surgery, general anesthesia keeps you asleep and comfortable. Your weight loss procedures will likely last about 1 hour, but every situation is different. You will spend 1 night in the hospital and be discharged the morning after surgery.
What should I expect after the procedure?
After your weight loss surgery, you will follow the diet and post-care instructions given prior to surgery, including vitamin supplementation. During the post-op phase, follow-up appointments (including lab monitoring) will be required at:
- One week
- Six weeks (phone call)
- Three months
- Six months
- 12 months
After 12 months, you will make annual follow-up appointments with Dr. Stowers and his team. Follow-up appointments are equally as important as adopting a healthy diet and exercise program to maintain your weight loss long-term. Follow-up appointments keep you on track with weight loss, determine the need for additional vitamin supplementation and provide ongoing education and support.
If you’re ready to learn more about the path to weight loss surgery and find out if it’s right for you, call The Bariatric Experts™ or request an appointment online today.

Today's cards are some of the other cards that I made over the weekend with two Stampin Up sets: Bitty Birthday and Heard from the Heart. I wanted to use up some Kiwi Kiss scraps that made perfect little notecards. They ended up being 3 x 4.25 and I had enough scraps to make 4 of them.
I stamped the birthday images in Black Momento Ink on watercolor paper and watercolored them in with In Color Reinkers and my aqua painter. My ink bled a little... which I'm not sure why since it says that it's waterproof - I hate that! I tried to cover up the little boo-boos with Diamond stickles.
I used all the In Color reinkers to watercolor the images with. I was surprised how well the blue bayou stitched ribbon worked on the above card. I don't have any of the new in color ribbons yet, so had to make do with what was in my ribbon scrap drawer.
The card below uses the cupcake image from the Sock Monkey set. I was able to squeeze in all the colors on this one too - see the light pink frosting? I used the crimper again to add the score lines to the card base, but the lines aren't the straightest, so don't look to closely! LOL! It's been crimping crooked for a long time now and I need to get a new crimper, but don't want to spend the money on a new one since I don't use it that often...

The Salton Sea, California’s largest inland lake, supports a spectacular bird population that is among the most concentrated and most diverse in the world. Sadly, this crucial stopover along the Pacific Flyway for migratory and wintering shorebirds, landbirds, and waterfowl is dangerously close to collapse from several environmental threats. This book is the first thoroughly detailed book to describe the birds of Salton Sea, more than 450 species and subspecies in all. A major contribution to our knowledge about the birds of western North America, it will also be an important tool in the struggle to save this highly endangered area.
Synthesizing data from many sources, including observations from their long-term work in the area, the authors’ species accounts discuss each bird’s abundance, seasonal status, movement patterns, biogeographic affinities, habitat associations, and more. This valuable reference also includes general information on the region’s fascinating history and biogeography, making it an unparalleled resource for the birding community, for wildlife managers, and for conservation biologists concerned with one of the most threatened ecosystems in western North America.

Before time, artificial intelligence, data-driven marketing, and voice search optimization were grandiose ideas on the verge of being ludicrous. These are some of the most popular trends in digital marketing nowadays.
If your digital marketing agency remains running and competitive in the online world, you should remain clever and innovative.
5 Digital Marketing Trends 2021
latest digital marketing trends are as follows
Ai Optimization trends in digital marketing
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the technology underpinning a variety of services, including content production, chatbots, and search engines. And it has grown in popularity since the outbreak of COVID-19.
In a survey from over one thousand US-based companies, 52 percent have accelerated their AI adaptation plans. Because it is very beneficial. Google is one such business that has placed AI at the center of its value proposition. Its use of AI has helped its search engine to better grasp. What consumers are looking for. And what kind of material best serves their search intent over the previous few years.
Google knows what consumers are looking for and what type of material will best meet their needs. If you search for “fish oil,” for example, Google recognizes that the most common search intent is to learn about the health advantages and side effects.
Programmatic Advertising trends in digital marketing
When you search trends in digital marketing then Programmatic Advertising is the second one. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) to automate ad buying is known as programmatic advertising. Companies get a more reliable and cost-effective answer to their demands when humans are removed from the ad buying process.
Global programmatic advertising spending has surpassed $130 billion, with the United States accounting for 61% of the total. According to eMarketer, programmatic display ad expenditure in the United States will climb 18.4% next year, a figure that is similar to what has been seen in recent years.
Smarty ads say the power of programmatic advertising lies in its ability to optimize at a scale that is greater than that of a human. You should adopt Real-time bidding one popular application of Programmatic Advertising.
Conversational trends in digital marketing
Conversational marketing allows marketers and customers to interact on a more personal level. Unlike traditional marketing tactics, this type of marketing is now available across a variety of channels, allowing businesses to contact customers on their terms: on the devices, platforms, and timeframes that are most convenient to them.
Companies utilize a variety of strategies to carry out a conversational marketing plan, including:
- Personalized videos
- Virtual selling Assistance
This is one example of conversational marketing in action. It uses artificial intelligence (AI) to send automated human-like messages to website users in real-time:
Some surveys show that
- For businesses, the most significant advantages of chatbots include 24-hour service (64 percent), rapid responses to inquiries (55 percent), and answers to simple questions (55 percent).
- 80 percent of consumers have a positive experience.
- According to Insider Intelligence, consumer retail spending via chatbots is predicted to reach $142 billion by 2024, up from $2.8 billion in 2019.
Many customers enjoy engaging with chatbots because they are available 24 hours a day, respond quickly, and recall their whole purchase history properly. These virtual assistants provide excellent customer service by anticipating and automating repetitive chores, allowing you to focus on more important responsibilities.
Personalize your marketing in 2022 if you want to stand out, which involves personalizing content, products, emails, and so on. Personalization turns out to be a hit with customers:
- Only 72 percent of clients respond to marketing messages personalized to their unique interests, according to SmarterHQ.
- According to a Salesforce poll, marketers regard personalization as having the greatest impact on their customer experience (64 percent), conversion rate (63 percent), and visitor engagement (55 percent)
Easyjet launched a data-driven email campaign that builds bespoke tales based on consumers’ travel experience with the airline, recommending where they might like to fly next. A total of 12.5 million unique emails were sent, with a 25% greater click-through rate than non-personalized emails.
Cadbury designed a customized video campaign that matches consumers with a Dairy Milk flavor based on information from their Facebook profile, such as age, interests, and geography. The campaign had a click-through rate of 65 percent and a conversion rate of 33.6 percent, demonstrating that personalization works.
In recent years, digital marketing has become unavoidable, and it has a bright future ahead of it. To obtain a solid foothold among their competition, industries should concentrate on these improvements and implement these new trends in digital marketing. Even among digital marketing agencies, competition is increasing, and we should expect improved services as a result.
Customers and marketers must understand the benefits and drawbacks of digital marketing in order to get the most out of it. You won’t get the full benefits of digital marketing if you don’t understand the advantages and disadvantages.
