Quality Capital, Caerus plan 14-story Village office building
Partners Samson Klugman, Leo Tsimmer paid $60M for site last year
Investors Samson Klugman and Leo Tsimmer are planning to bring a 14-story, 70,000-square-foot retail-and-office building to Greenwich Village.
The 289-foot-tall building will rise at 827 Broadway across the street from the Strand Bookstore, just south of Union Square, according to a permit application filed with the Department of Buildings Friday.
Retail will span the first three floors of the building, with the remaining 11 floors devoted to office space. The plans call for terraces on the fourth floor and roof — an amenity many landlords in the Midtown South market consider a necessity in order to attract tenants.
Klugman could not be immediately reached for comment, but he had previously told TRD he thought the deal penciled out on the strength of the retail space alone.
“I purchased them due to the 10,000 square feet of prime retail space on Broadway 250 feet from the heart of Union Square,” he said. “We feel the residual value of the retail alone is worth the full purchase price.”
The two buildings, which have 75 feet of frontage on Broadway, are home to the women’s clothing store Nu New York and Halstead Property in the retail spaces, with two floors of residential rentals above.
Quality Capital recently sold a Downtown Brooklyn site with nearly 120,000 square feet of buildable space to Gotham Capital for $47 million. Caerus also recently landed $50 million from Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance to fund its acquisition of two Midtown office buildings at 4 and 10 East 34th Street.

President Moron doesn't have a CLUE as to what to do in Syria AND the entire middle east. My husband and I lived in the middle east for five years.
We visited Syria while we were there. Hafiz was in charge at the time. Damascus was one of the most WONDERFUL cities I have ever seen. Fabulous place.
Such a SHAME as the middle easterners are easy as pie to deal with: LEAVE THEM ALONE. THEY have been battling EACH OTHER since there WAS a middle east and Arabs. That is what they do.
They are ALL tribal and handle their affairs through tribal leaders and clans. Even in "civilized" Syria.
Oh well, I know things won't change in the middle east and I don't expect things to change here. Attitudes here are as hard, fast and unchangeable as they are over there.

How can industrial emitters best utilize and create a market demand for captured carbon? The answer could come from an unlikely place – algae. Pondtech’s CEO Grant Smith outlines best practices for industrial emitters and how algae is changing the carbon market.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, summarizing the world’s leading climate scientists research, recommends that the world achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, and avoid a world defined by extreme temperatures, heat waves, fires, flood, droughts, and extreme weather.
Since most global-warming greenhouse gas emissions come from the combustion of fossil fuels, this means changes in how we create and use energy in almost every sector of the economy. Canada emits 40% of its emissions from the combustion of fuels for heat or electricity, 28% of emissions from transportation, and 7.5% from industrial facilities (excluding electricity generators).1 Reducing emissions from electricity generation means generating electricity from hydro, nuclear or renewables. Reducing emissions from transportation likely involves a switch to electric or hydrogen fuels.
But industry is harder – there is no commercial technology to manufacture steel from iron, or cement from limestone, or to ferment corn into ethanol without emitting significant amounts of carbon dioxide. Almost every industrial facility emits greenhouse gases, often in large quantities. Cement plants, steel mills, power generation stations, refineries, chemical plants, manufacturers, ethanol facilities, fertilizer plants, will each emit thousands of tonnes of carbon dioxide.
This has not gone unnoticed by regulators: according to the World Bank, globally there are 64 carbon pricing systems (either carbon taxes or emissions trading systems), covering ~21% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Just 5 years ago, there were 38 carbon pricing systems, covering 12% of global emissions.2
Many of these directly target industrial facilities – the largest emissions trading system by value, the European Union Emissions Trading System, covers 11,000 industrial facilities. Systems in China, Canada, California, New Zealand and the Northeastern USA add thousands more to this total.
Regulation is coming, but what do regulators expect industrial facilities to do? Even if all fossil fuel use at these plants was eliminated (not something that is currently technologically possible), the reduction of iron and limestone inherent to certain industrial processes would still emit millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide in Canada alone.
This is where new processes like carbon capture and utilization hold the most promise. There are essentially two possible steps in this process:
- Capture the carbon dioxide at site before it is emitted to the atmosphere. There are several technologies that can do this, including amine solutions, enzymes, and others.
- Determine what to do with the captured carbon.
The second part is less clear. Carbon dioxide can be compressed and pumped around and is often used to enhance the oil output of oil wells. This is inherently counterproductive – capturing emissions primarily from fossil fuel combustion only to use those captured emissions to increase fossil fuel production to eventually burn and produce more greenhouse gases does not get the world to net zero.
And yet, this is how most captured carbon dioxide is used, because the use of it to enhance oil recovery provides money from the sale of carbon dioxide to oil extraction companies. Financially, this makes sense. But a serious plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and get to net zero emissions cannot rely on increasing fossil fuel production.
For a few billion dollars and no financial gain, captured carbon can also be pumped deep underground, where it will turn into limestone in several years. The Shell Quest carbon capture project does exactly this. But there are real questions around the net emissions from this operation.
The carbon is captured and stored underground, but this process requires energy, which in turn emits more fossil fuels. The number of emissions from the process of pumping captured carbon underground, and the amount of total net benefits from this Quest project, remains unclear.3
At Pond, we believe the best carbon capture and utilization solution is market-based. If we can create massive demand for products that can be made from carbon dioxide emissions, then industries become an asset for pushing the market towards net-zero emissions. Our proprietary technology is one such solution, using the power of algae to transform carbon dioxide emissions from industrial sources into valuable products.
Pond’s technology is conceptually simple – it is turbocharged photosynthesis. We bubble industrial emissions directly into tanks, where we add our illumination, nutrient, sensor, and control systems. Inside the tanks, microscopic algae cells use light, water, nutrients and carbon dioxide to transform greenhouse gas into organic sugars for energy, and carbon into algae biomass. This is the same process used by trees to absorb carbon, but because we are growing microscopic organisms in a three-dimensional space, we can absorb carbon far faster than any natural ecosystem.
Algae biomass has value and can be sold. Any health food store, pharmacy, and most grocery stores will carry powdered spirulina, a vegan superfood with a 65%+ protein content. To date, the markets for spirulina have been limited to health food and nutraceutical products, primarily due to cost. But Pond’s technology can dramatically undercut the volume and cost of incumbent growing technologies.
Algae, besides being a significant source of protein for people as spirulina, is a proven ingredient in cattle, pig, and aquaculture feeds. If these markets create demand for algae biomass, the potential for carbon abatement is huge. ~A billion tonnes of compound animal feeds are manufactured globally each year and the most common protein source, soybean meal, is only 40% protein. If algae-based feeds were to replace even a fraction of the current manufactured feeds, the potential climate benefits would be enormous:
- Algae produced from captured carbon would reduce potentially millions of tonnes of carbon emissions from industrial sites, providing a credible technology in sectors with hard-to-reduce emissions.
- Soybean production could be reduced, further reducing agricultural emissions, and reducing the conversion of forest into agricultural land.
- The world would have a sustainable protein source to help feed our growing population.
Perhaps most importantly, the climate benefits would be driven by market demand. The Shell Quest project referenced earlier cost $1.35 billion CAD. Funding was paid for by Shell (35%), and by the federal and provincial government (65%). This means that the project, which generates no return, is paid for by gas consumers and taxpayers. If carbon capture and utilization is funded by the market, through the substitution of soybean meal for algae biomass by animal feed companies, this is a better solution because the process will have little-to-no cost for consumers or taxpayers.

In Syria, Rebels Now Represent the People
Watch International Governments Formally Recognize Syrian Rebels on PBS. See more from PBS NewsHour.
After months of bloody civil war, the U.S. and 113 other nations recognized the coalition of Syrian opposition groups as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people. This will increase the pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as he still refuses to give up power.
“In a growing number of towns and villages, a new Syria is being born. The regime of Bashar al-Assad must and will go. The sooner he steps aside, the better for all Syrians,” said William Burns, U.S. deputy secretary of state.
The Russians have opposed outside action against the Assad regime, and disagreed with recognizing the opposition.
“As the coalition has been recognized as the only legitimate representative, it seems that the United States decided to place all bets on the armed victory of this very national coalition,” said Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister.
Syria’s capital Damascus, considered one of the last strongholds of the Assad regime, has lately seen increased assaults from rebels. Parts of the capitol look like battlefields, as amateur video showed burned-out cars from a blast near the Justice Ministry, and three bombs exploded outside the Interior Ministry.
The New York Times reported the Syrian military is now fighting back with Scud missiles, firing at least a half-dozen in recent days.
“We have made a decision that the Syrian opposition coalition is now inclusive enough, is reflective and representative enough of the Syrian population,” – President Barack Obama.
Warm up questions
1. Where is Syria? What is happening there right now?

What you need to know:
- There are spectacular birds to be seen in this world-famous remnant of an ancient forest.
On an overcast grey morning, a silvery-cheeked hornbill lands atop a wizened croton tree. The metre-long bird, which appears smaller from this distance, is joined by four others, to the delight of the bird watchers in Nairobi’s City Park.
With binoculars trained on the birds, Fleur Ng’weno gives the spiel. The silvery-cheeked hornbill is an intra-African migrant that passes through Kenya every year, stopping in Nairobi at its favourite haunts, the City Park and the botanic garden at the National Museums of Kenya.
Its nest has never been found in Kenya though it nests in Tanzania and Mozambique. Thus anyone who sees the nesting site of the silvery-cheeked hornbill in Kenya will earn a feather in their cap.
Fleur’s an amazing narrator to have on any outing with her encyclopedic knowledge and that signature voice that holds everyone’s attention.
Lots of action
There’s a lot of action in the City Park car park. The vervet monkeys are the brats of the place but so cute that you forgive their antics. The Sykes monkeys, on the other hand, are usually shy and keep their distance but at City Park they have become opportunistic, taking whatever food they can.
Black kites sweep through the air while the pied crows hustle and bustle as the silvery-cheeked hornbills hold everyone spellbound. After 10 minutes of watching the hornbills we step into the iconic park that’s older than anyone in the group, having been established in 1923.
It’s truly the green heart of Nairobi with its rich forest and savannah grass plains that is home to more than 120 species of birds, mammals like the giant pouched rat and nine species of bats, including the epauletted fruit bats, insects and reptiles. Spacious green lawns lead to the bandstand that has a history of its own.
Installed in 1929 at the suggestion of the Nairobi Municipal Committee chairman, H R Tate, to entertain visitors, it staged live performances in the 1940s and 1950s, including the brass bands of the King’s African Rifles.
Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother of Britain, visited City Park in 1959, followed by the first vice president of India, Sir Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, respected as a great philosopher, orator and statesman.
I follow the path into the forested glade with towering trees and sounds of the stream flowing through and lose the birdwatchers. I end up by the side of Limuru Road near Parklands. There’s no fence to keep vandals out yet this tiny piece of an ancient forest survives due to the efforts of the Friends of City Park under the umbrella of Nature Kenya.
Badly neglected from the 1980s, this green gem was open to land-grabbers until the Friends of City Park, started in 1996 by concerned citizens to save Nairobi’s green heart, stepped in. I chance upon a tombstone left by the side of the path – very obviously vandalised – which reads ‘In loving memory of Peter Mose Born 1912 Died 3-7-1995. Rest In Peace.’
The open glades of savanna grass are splattered with dashes of wild flowers in bloom. An owl has been spotted in the tree but it’s shy and steals away deeper into the dense foliage. We cross bridges and plains over the canalised Kibagare Stream when Fleur spots the great sparrowhawk suddenly fly by with its catch in the beak.
It lands on a towering tree where the female awaits it. There’s a chick in the nest but at the same time the insufferable safari ants –siafu – are on the wet ground and have everyone hopping around while trying to see this dramatic sighting. The female tears the prey for its chick as the male flies away to search for more
As we hurry off the path, I get my first clear view of the Ruppell’s Robin-chat a few feet from me – I will remember it forever although I’m bad at identifying most species.
“The Ruppell’s Robin-chat likes to feed on the insects that are trying to escape the safari ants,” Fleur’s voice carries through.


Having recently completed his apprenticeship, Jai is following in his father’s boiler-making footsteps and is focused on building a future for himself at ASC.
In Jai’s own words:
“I love making stuff. I’ve always been a hands-on person. I like fabricating brackets. I just love putting material together. And when it comes out as a finished product, you feel like you’ve accomplished something. I like that feeling.”
“It’s not your normal welding job. You’re working on submarines for the Royal Australian Navy. Everything’s got to be done right and to a really high standard. It’s complex work. Some jobs are challenging but I see them as challenges that can be beaten.”
After finishing high school at 18, Jai worked as a concrete labourer for several months before securing a fabrication apprenticeship with ASC in 2019.
For Jai, it’s the people that make ASC a good place to work.
“I love my crew. We get on well. You feel comfortable to come to work and I don’t feel like I’m being judged on anything. If we know that a person that we’re working with has been doing it hard, we’ll switch around you know. Take turns to ease the stress.”
“I think the main qualities you need to work here at ASC are discipline and commitment. Working side by side with the Navy, I see it as a job that’s very important because these submarines protect our coastline of Australia. I definitely want to stay here.”

The Investiture Controversy or Investiture Contest was the most significant conflict between Church and state in medieval Europe.
In the 11th and 12th centuries, a series of popes challenged the authority of European monarchies. At issue was who, the pope or monarchs, had the authority to appoint (invest) local church officials such as bishops of cities and abbots of monasteries. The conflict ended in 1122, when Emperor Henry V and Pope Calixtus II agreed on the Concordat of Worms. It differentiated between the royal and spiritual powers and gave the emperors a limited role in selecting bishops. The outcome seemed mostly a victory for the Pope and his claim that he was God's chief representative in the world. However, the Emperor did retain considerable power over the Church.
The investiture controversy began as a power struggle between Pope Gregory VII (1072–85) and Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor (1056–1106). A brief but significant struggle over investiture also occurred between Henry I of England and Pope Paschal II in the years 1103 to 1107, and the issue played a minor role in the struggles between church and state in France, as well.
By undercutting the Imperial power established by the Salian emperors, the controversy led to nearly 50 years of civil war in Germany, and the triumph of the great dukes and abbots. Imperial power was finally re-established under the Hohenstaufen dynasty. Historian Norman Cantor:
The age of the investiture controversy may rightly be regarded as the turning-point in medieval civilization. It was the fulfillment of the early Middle Ages because in it the acceptance of the Christian religion by the Germanic peoples reached its final and decisive stage… The greater part of the religious and political system of the high Middle Ages emerged out of the events and ideas of the investiture controversy.
After the decline of the Roman Empire, and prior to the Investiture Controversy, while theoretically a task of the church, investiture was in practice performed by members of the religious nobility. Many bishops and abbots were themselves usually part of the ruling nobility. Since the eldest son would inherit the title, siblings often found careers in the church. This was particularly true where the family may have established a proprietary church or abbey on their estate. Since Otto the Great (936-72) the bishops had been princes of the empire, had secured many privileges, and had become to a great extent feudal lords over great districts of the imperial territory. The control of these great units of economic and military power was for the king a question of primary importance, affecting as it did imperial authority. It was essential for a ruler or nobleman to appoint (or sell the office to) someone who would remain loyal.
Since a substantial amount of wealth and land was usually associated with the office of a bishop or abbot, the sale of church offices (a practice known as simony) was an important source of income for leaders among the nobility, who themselves owned the land and by charity allowed the building of churches.
The crisis began when a group within the church, members of the Gregorian Reform, decided to rebel against the rule of simony by forcefully taking the power of investiture from the ruling secular power, i.e. the Holy Roman Emperor and placing that power wholly within control of the church. The Gregorian reformers knew this would not be possible so long as the emperor maintained the ability to appoint the pope, so their first step was to forcibly gain the papacy from the control of the emperor. An opportunity came in 1056 when Henry IV became German king at six years of age. The reformers seized the opportunity to take the papacy by force while he was still a child and could not react. In 1059, a church council in Rome declared, with In Nomine Domini, that leaders of the nobility would have no part in the selection of popes and created the College of Cardinals as a body of electors made up entirely of church officials. Once Rome regained control of the election of the pope, it was ready to attack the practice of investiture and simony on a broad front.
In 1075, Pope Gregory VII composed the Dictatus Papae. One clause asserted that the deposal of an emperor was under the sole power of the pope. It declared that the Roman church was founded by God alone – that the papal power (the auctoritas of Pope Gelasius) was the sole universal power; in particular, a council held in the Lateran Palace from 24 to 28 February the same year decreed that the pope alone could appoint or depose churchmen or move them from see to see. By this time, Henry IV was no longer a child, and he continued to appoint his own bishops. He reacted to this declaration by sending Gregory VII a letter in which he withdrew his imperial support of Gregory as pope in no uncertain terms: the letter was headed "Henry, king not through usurpation but through the holy ordination of God, to Hildebrand, at present not pope but false monk". It called for the election of a new pope. His letter ends, "I, Henry, king by the grace of God, with all of my Bishops, say to you, come down, come down!", and is often quoted with "and to be damned throughout the ages." which is a later addition.
The situation was made even more dire when Henry IV installed his chaplain, Tedald, a Milanese priest, as Bishop of Milan, when another priest of Milan, Atto, had already been chosen in Rome by the pope for candidacy. In 1076 Gregory responded by excommunicating Henry, and deposed him as German king, releasing all Christians from their oath of allegiance.
Enforcing these declarations was a different matter, but the advantage gradually came to be on the side of Gregory VII. German princes and the aristocracy were happy to hear of the king's deposition. They used religious reasons to continue the rebellion started at the First Battle of Langensalza in 1075, and for seizure of royal holdings. Aristocrats claimed local lordships over peasants and property, built forts, which had previously been outlawed, and built up localized fiefdoms to secure their autonomy from the empire.
Thus, because of these combining factors, Henry IV had no choice but to back down, needing time to marshal his forces to fight the rebellion. In 1077, he traveled to Canossa in northern Italy to meet the pope and apologize in person. As penance for his sins, and echoing his own punishment of the Saxons after the First Battle of Langensalza, he dramatically wore a hair shirt and stood in the snow barefoot in the middle of winter in what has become known as the Walk to Canossa. Gregory lifted the excommunication, but the German aristocrats, whose rebellion became known as the Great Saxon Revolt, were not so willing to give up their opportunity. They elected a rival king, Rudolf von Rheinfeld. Three years later, Gregory declared his support for von Rheinfeld, and excommunicated Henry IV again.
Henry IV then proclaimed Antipope Clement III to be pope. In 1080, Rudolf died, effectively ending the internal revolt against Henry. In 1081, Henry invaded Rome, for the first time, with the intent of forcibly removing Gregory VII and installing a more friendly pope. Gregory VII called on his allies, the Normans in southern Italy, and they rescued him from the Germans in 1085. The Normans sacked Rome in the process, and when the citizens of Rome rose up against Gregory, he was forced to flee south with the Normans. He died soon thereafter.
The Investiture Controversy continued for several decades as each succeeding pope tried to diminish imperial power by stirring up revolt in Germany. These revolts were gradually successful. Henry IV was succeeded upon his death in 1106 by his son Henry V, who had rebelled against his father in favor of the papacy, and who had made his father renounce the legality of his antipopes before he died. Nevertheless, Henry V chose one more antipope, Gregory VIII. Later, he renounced some of the rights of investiture with the Concordat of Worms, abandoned Gregory VIII, and was received back into communion and recognized as legitimate emperor as a result.
English investiture controversy of 1102 to 1107
At the time of Henry IV's death, Henry I of England and the Gregorian papacy were also embroiled in a controversy over investiture, and its solution provided a model for the eventual solution of the issue in the empire.
William the Conqueror had accepted a papal banner and the distant blessing of Pope Alexander II upon his invasion, but had successfully rebuffed the pope's assertion after the successful outcome, that he should come to Rome and pay homage for his fief, under the general provisions of the "Donation of Constantine".
The ban on lay investiture in Dictatus Papae did not shake the loyalty of William's bishops and abbots. In the reign of Henry I, the heat of exchanges between Westminster and Rome induced Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury, to give up mediating and retire to an abbey. Robert of Meulan, one of Henry's chief advisors, was excommunicated, but the threat of excommunicating the king remained unplayed. The papacy needed the support of English Henry while German Henry was still unbroken. A projected crusade also required English support.
Henry I commissioned the Archbishop of York to collect and present all the relevant traditions of anointed kingship. "The resulting 'Anonymous of York' treaties are a delight to students of early-medieval political theory, but they in no way typify the outlook of the Anglo-Norman monarchy, which had substituted the secure foundation of administrative and legal bureaucracy for outmoded religious ideology"
Concordat of London, 1107
According to René Metz, author of "What Is Canon Law?", a concordat is a convention concluded between the Holy See and the civil power of a country to define the relationship between the Catholic Church and the state in matters in which both are concerned. The concordat is one type of an international convention. Concordats began during the First Crusade's end in 1098.
The Concordat of London (1107) suggested a compromise that was later taken up in the Concordat of Worms. In England, as in Germany, the king's chancery started to distinguish between the secular and ecclesiastical powers of the prelates. Employing this distinction, Henry gave up his right to invest his bishops and abbots while reserving the custom of requiring them to swear homage for the "temporalities" (the landed properties tied to the episcopate) directly from his hand, after the bishop had sworn homage and feudal vassalage in the commendation ceremony (commendatio), like any secular vassal. The system of vassalage was not divided among great local lords in England as it was in France, since the king was in control by right of the conquest.
Concordat of Worms and its significance
On the European mainland, after 50 years of fighting, the Concordat of Worms provided a similar, but longer lasting, compromise when signed on September 23, 1122. It eliminated lay investiture, while leaving secular leaders some room for unofficial but significant influence in the appointment process.
While the monarchy was embroiled in the dispute with the Church, the monarchy declined in power and broke apart. Localized rights of lordship over peasants grew. This resulted in multiple effects: 1) increased serfdom that reduced human rights for the majority, 2) increased taxes and levies that royal coffers declined, and 3) localized rights of Justice where courts did not have to answer to royal authority. In the long term, the decline of imperial power would divide Germany until the 19th century. Similarly, in Italy, the investiture controversy weakened the emperor's authority and strengthened local separatist forces.
The papacy grew stronger from the controversy. Marshalling for public opinion engaged lay people in religious affairs increasing lay piety, setting the stage for the Crusades and the great religious vitality of the 12th century.
The dispute did not end with the Concordat of Worms. Future disputes between popes and Holy Roman Emperors continued until northern Italy was lost to the empire entirely. The church would Crusade against the Holy Roman Empire under Frederick II. According to Norman Cantor:
The investiture controversy had shattered the early-medieval equilibrium and ended the interpenetration of ecclesia and mundus. Medieval kingship, which had been largely the creation of ecclesiastical ideals and personnel, was forced to develop new institutions and sanctions. The result during the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries, was the first instance of a secular bureaucratic state whose essential components appeared in the Anglo-Norman monarchy."

This week, entering College of Marin’s James Dunn Theatre is a stunning experience. Onstage is one of the most beautiful sets you will ever encounter, an evocation of the Sahara desert by designer Ron Krempetz and scenic artist Dhyanis Carniglia, its exaggerated sand dunes reaching into a deep blue night sky. Surrounded by images of pock-marked moons and asteroids, it promises an evening of mystery and magic.
The promise goes largely unfulfilled in this stiffly performed version of “The Little Prince,” script by Rick Cummins and John Scoullar, from the book by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. It’s a tale of an asocial aviator who crash-lands his biplane in the Sahara, hundreds of miles from civilization. With his water running low, no possibility of help and only his sketchbook to comfort him, he confronts his inevitable demise. Then he encounters a strange boy who may or may not be from another planet, and his future begins to look a bit less dim.
Required reading for everyone who ever sat through high school French, “The Little Prince” adheres to a timeless formula: an adventurer stranded in a strange land encounters a mysterious mentor whose inscrutable advice leads to life-changing epiphanies. An eternally popular title that still sells millions of copies each year, the book is an adult’s musings on the meaning of life, in the guise of a children’s book.
The play is likewise adult fare in the guise of a children’s show, which may seduce parents with youngsters into thinking it’s a silly action-packed glitter-and-tinsel-encrusted kiddie production. It is not. With the exception of a few cutaway bits concerning magical plants and animals — the Prince’s encounter with the wise fox (Megan Bartschat) is the most animated and entertaining of these — the entirety of its drama takes place as dialog between the aviator (Benjamin Vasquez) and the prince (Alex Cook).
Nobody bobbles a line — that almost never happens in a COM production — but no one in the cast seems either fully invested or fully engaged. Most of the dialog is way over the heads of any children in the audience, who on opening weekend could be seen squirming in their seats hoping for something, anything, to happen onstage. But little does happen onstage other than endless talk, punctuated here and there by little drawings made in the aviator’s magical sketchbook. In topic and style, it’s not interesting talk either, and all delivered at the same stultifying pace. There’s little chemistry between the characters and no dynamism in their interactions. The dramatic arc — mostly the aviator’s interior monologue — goes neither high nor far. It makes for a long 90 minutes.
The visual presentation of “The Little Prince” is gorgeous — director Lisa Morse also designed the costumes — but beyond that, there’s not much to sustain the interest of theatergoers of any age. The book, though, is excellent bedtime reading, guaranteed to put cranky toddlers to sleep. The stage production may do that for parents, too.

Amy Winehouse collapses
Amy Winehouse was taken to hospital after collapsing over the weekend. It's claimed that this collapse is a drink and drug related seizure. A spokesman for the singer said her hospitalisation on Sunday was due to a "bad reaction to the combination of medication she has currently been prescribed".
However, a friend told The Sun that the singer went on a 24-hour binge after a blazing telephone argument with her husband Blake Fielder-Civil. The source said: "They had a screaming row. She was beside herself after the call - and she just totally lost it. It didn't stop until she was on the floor on Sunday. She has ended up in hospital a few times after similar drink and drugs related seizures. If she carries on, one of these incidents will be her last."

GAUTIER, MS (WLOX) -
About a week ago, the world got word of the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
The horrible incident sparked feelings of anger, rage and hopelessness. But, in the days since that heart breaking event, the families affected have found they aren't in it alone.
Supporters, like Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, have stepped in to lend a helping hand.
"This time last week parents were finding out that there children were not coming home. Parents were finding out that their babies were dead. A few of us just wanted them to know that we care. Even if we don't have children we do understand, or try to understand what they're going through," said organizer Karlene Overby.
Overby organized the event to remember the victims and honor their lives. The mother of 5 said she and her husband can't imagine the pain those parents are feeling. She said that's why she felt compelled to do something. The college was there to support her.
"This is what we're about. Besides giving everyone a quality education, its giving them a chance to express themselves and I'm just proud of our students for coming together to honor those victims," said Student Activities Coordinator Sonya Edwards.
After the somber moment, students, faculty and Jackson county residents lit candles and said a prayer for all the victims and their families.
The group surrounded the campus' "Peace Pole" to pray. They plan to create a mural from the victims photos and send it to Connecticut.

In a Guardian article guaranteed to raise the blood pressure of the Campaign for an English Parliament and others, UCL Constitution Unit head Robert Hazell has today argued that there is a future for regional government in England after all.
"Regional government in England is the only solution that offers an answer to both versions of the English question. It could help give England a louder voice within the union, and help decentralise the government of England. But defeat in the North East referendum in 2004 has raised the bar," he writes.
"Any future proposals for elected regional assemblies will need to offer a stronger set of powers and functions. The GLA provides a possible model, with London's Olympics bid showing that a strategic authority can make a difference in promoting a region, both within the UK and to the wider world."

On my way home, as I was about to head up the bridge stairs, I heard the river. I wasn’t in a hurry to get home, so I walked down to get a closer look at the water. Mmmm… waves of flowing water :-). The sun was nearing the horizon in the west and turning orange. It was making the bushes on the small island west of the 10th Street bridge glow. So I walked west.

Here is my Georgian Qama (that's how they are called in Georgia).
I estimate it to be from around 1960 (but I might be wrong).
It has a very good pattern welded blade (I cleaned all the traces of rust you can see in the photos).
The inscription on the back says: "given to Imedadze from Kintsurashvili."
The filigree is of very high quality and is neither simple to make nor of lesser value.

WASHINGTON, May 18 — The identity of the law enforcement official who supplied details of Michael Cohen’s banking activities to media-savvy lawyer Michael Avenatti probably won’t remain secret for long, according to people who work in the field.
Anyone who gains access to the government’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network database of bank-generated suspicious activity reports, known as SARs, leaves an audit trail, they explained. So whoever searched for FinCEN reports filed against personal or business accounts associated with Cohen, President Donald Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, left a digital record that is almost certainly under review.
Once the information became public through news reports, the Treasury Department’s inspector general began an inquiry into the suspected leak.
The individual provided an explanation for the leak in an interview with Ronan Farrow of the New Yorker, who referred to the person as an official and not as a man or woman. The official says that he grew alarmed that he was unable to find two earlier reports made by First Republic Bank about transactions in Cohen’s consulting account and that he feared information was being withheld from law enforcement officials.
Explaining his motivation, he said he knew that leaking the suspicious activity report violated bank secrecy laws but was willing to take the risk out of concern that similar reports involving Cohen had mysteriously disappeared.
More than 10,000 agents, analysts and investigators from more than 350 federal, state and local agencies across the US have access to the database. There are approximately 30,000 searches of the data every day, according to FinCEN’s website.
“Government employees and law enforcement personnel with access to the system are not authorized to publicly disclose SARs,” FinCEN spokesman Steve Hudak said.
Anyone with experience using the FinCEN database would know how easy it would be for investigators to track him down. In a sign that the leaker may not have been an expert, Avenatti’s trove of records included transactions involving other Michael Cohens who were not at all related Trump’s former attorney.
The contents of the First Republic report, now largely verified by the counterparties, described payments made to Cohen’s company by Columbus Nova, a private equity firm with ties to Russian billionaire Viktor Vekselberg, as well as payments from corporate clients including AT&T Inc. and Novartis AG.
First Republic declined to comment.
According to people involved in SARs work, reports don’t disappear from the FinCEN database. Sometimes they are restricted, for example when the disclosure might compromise a criminal investigation, or when they involve a law enforcement employee who might himself be suspected of corruption or other wrongdoing.
In the latter case, investigators would not want to let the person learn, by poring over his own suspicious activity reports, that he’s being watched.
“Under longstanding procedures, FinCEN will limit access to certain SARs when requested by law enforcement authorities in connection with an ongoing investigation,” Hudak said.
Prosecutions involving the disclosures of suspicious activity reports are rare, largely because misuse of the FinCEN database is rare. But some people who work with the database say the leaker will be identified and almost certainly charged.
“The leaker is taking an extraordinary personal risk for greater transparency,” said Duncan Levin, a former federal and state prosecutor who dealt extensively with the FinCEN database. “Whoever did this has added immeasurably to the public conversation and likely knows full well how much legal risk he or she is now facing.”
A former official with Chase Bank in California was convicted in 2011 of wrongfully disclosing a suspicious activity report of a customer suspected of committing mortgage fraud. According to evidence presented at his trial, Frank Mendoza, the bank official, suspected that a delinquent borrower who was behind on his mortgage loans may have been involved in fraud. In late 2008, the bank filed a suspicious activity report on the borrower.
In 2009, Mendoza approached the borrower, told him about the report that had been filed on him, and said a federal investigation into his business was likely. Then Mendoza made a proposal: pay him US$25,000 (RM99,459) and he could help make this problem go away.
The borrower instead went to the FBI, which allowed him to play along. After no payments came, Mendoza dropped his price to US$10,000, which the borrower paid in two installments. Mendoza was then arrested and charged. Following a one-week trial, a jury convicted him on three counts of bank bribery and one count of unlawfully disclosing a suspicious activity report.
The deliberations lasted 30 minutes. — Bloomberg

U.S. tech giants like Microsoft Corporation, Alphabet Inc., and OpenAI are reportedly readying to publicly declare their dedication to AI safety measures on Friday in response to an appeal from the White House.
The administration of President Joe Biden had previously admonished these firms about the critical need for assurances that AI technologies will not result in harm.
The non-compulsory aspect of these declarations highlights the limits of the Biden administration’s influence in steering the most sophisticated AI models away from potential misuse, according to a Thursday Bloomberg report that quoted people familiar with the plans.
Congressional representatives have been engaging in knowledge-gathering sessions to deepen their understanding of AI before framing any laws. Achieving a unanimous agreement on enforceable regulation seems uncertain, as per Bloomberg’s reporting.
The commitments checklist from the White House set to be unveiled on Friday will likely be reflected in the promises made by premier AI corporations that attended a discussion in May with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Harris, along with other senior White House officials, stressed the firms’ obligation to guarantee the security of their tech products during this meeting.
Jeff Zients, the White House chief of staff, expressed unease over the slow progress of regulatory procedures, remarking in a podcast interview a month ago, “We cannot afford to wait a year or two.”
The commitment document, which may undergo changes before Friday, is expected to propose eight pledges centered around safety, security and societal responsibility. These encompass enabling independent specialists to test models for potential harmful behavior – a method termed “red-teaming; sharing data related to trust and safety with government bodies and other firms; Implementing watermarking on audio-visual content to facilitate the identification of AI-generated content; boosting investment in cybersecurity; promoting third-party involvement in discovering security weaknesses; prioritizing research into societal risks posed by AI, and utilizing the most advanced AI systems, known as frontier models, for addressing major societal challenges.
There’s been a global call by governments for AI governance, similar to the accords in place to avert nuclear conflict. The Group of Seven nations, for instance, agreed earlier this year in Hiroshima, Japan, to synchronize their approach toward this technology, and an international AI summit is slated to be held in the U.K. before year-end.
Yet, such efforts lag behind the swift progress of AI developments, which are fueled by fierce competition between business rivals and anxiety that Chinese breakthroughs could surpass those in the West. This has led Western leaders to resort to urging companies to self-regulate, at least for now.
Alexandr Wang, founder of the AI startup Scale AI, recently gave a grave warning to the Pentagon, calling for immediate action in managing military data and investment in nascent technologies. Wang equated China’s investment in AI to the Apollo project, describing “AI as China’s equivalent to the Apollo project.”

The Ontario Securities Commission has dropped a controversial plan to introduce a “best interest” standard holding financial advisers to a higher duty of care after other market regulators across the country failed to embrace it.
Instead, Canada’s securities watchdogs are proposing a uniform set of “targeted” reforms to reduce conflicts of interest between clients and advisers, as well as policy changes that would prohibit certain trailing commissions for dealers who do not make a “suitability” determination in connection with the distribution of mutual funds.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
The policy changes, proposed under the umbrella of the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), would also prohibit deferred sales charge options on mutual funds, where investors may have to pay a redemption fee if securities are sold before a pre-determined period of time. This prohibition appears to fall short of the full ban on embedded fees that has been imposed in other jurisdictions.

There have been many great female rappers throughout the history of rap music. I would not go as far as to say there is a female version of a Nas, Pac or Big; well let me rephrase that, in my opinion, if Lauryn Hill is considered a rapper as oppose to a R&B singer, then I would say she can be considered the female version of Nas.
There have been many other female rappers who were or still are or great lyricists.
So, who do you think is the best female rapper in the history of rap music? Is it Nicki Minaj, Queen Latifah, Azealia Banks, MC Lyte, Azalea, Lil’ Kim, Foxy Brown or some other name not mentioned here.

PHOENIX, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / November 7, 2018 /Namaste Technologies Inc. (”Namaste” or the ”Company”) (TSXV: N) (FRANKFURT: M5BQ) (OTCMKTS: NXTTF) operates the largest global cannabis e-commerce platform with over 30 websites in 20+ countries under various brands. Kory Zelickson, Co-Founder and VP of Business Develop and Investor’s Relations, joined Stock Day’sEverett Jolly.
Jolly started off by asking Zelickson to explain the strategy and deal with Buds2Go, an online platform.
”The company is really focused onecommerce and technology,” said Zelickson. ”What’s unique about our license is it’s the first medical cannabis sales license that’s been issued to a non-cultivator. Every other which sells cannabis inCanada, also grows it. But our intention isn’t to grow cannabis, we want to focus on selling it online.”
Zelickson went on to say that Namaste Technologies offers the largest global platform for cannabis and ancillary products and accessories. He says they are leveraging their expertise in selling online in Canada. Buds2go will now offer users access to medical cannabis consultations through the Company’swholly ownedsubsidiary and online patient portal, NamasteMD Inc.
”It’s a really exciting opportunity for us because we get to use our technology and our platform, NamasteMD to help people gain access to consultations for medical cannabis that will allow them to order through regulated channels.”
Jolly then asked how the legalization of recreational marijuana has impacted the business. Zelickson said they have noticed a supply shortage and some producers are allocating their entire stock to recreational users are running out of stock for medical patients.
”We are hoping that over the next 8 to 10 months, with a lot more producers coming online and a lot more licenses inprocess, we’ll sort of bridge that gap as an industry,” said Zelickson.
Jolly then asked for an update on UK medical cannabis. Zelickson said there’s been amazing progress in the UK.
”They’ve now introduced new legislation that allows for the use of medical cannabis for specific conditions. It’s a little bit restricted right now, but hopefully opening up real soon,” explained Zelickson.
He went on to say that Namaste Technologies has a presence in the UK with half-a-million people in the database. The UK is a very important market for the company. They have a three-pronged approach to tackling the market with distribution and importation and supply. They are also looking to acquire a partner in the UK and launch the telemedicine app, NamasteMD.
Jolly then asked how the company will keep up withpatient acquisition. Zelickson explained there is an influx of traffic through NamasteMD as a result of the agreement with Bud2go.
”We’ve been ramping up the healthcare practitioner team that facilitates the consultations through NamasteMD in order to accommodate the demand. The idea is that NamasteMD is a platform and people can come on, download the app and start their consultations and then the Nurse Practitioners should access the system, and as we expand more and more will be brought on.”

This band is a melting pot of musicians from France, USA, Bosnia and Madagascar, each bringing something from their own culture, e.g., the vocal feel in Ferris's solo or the oriental tinge in Zulficarpasic's. Their "Laguna Veneta" in particular typifies an evolution in European jazz. Both highly melodic and structured by a haunting rhythmic vamp, it mixes familiar jazz sounds like those of trombone and drums with more ethnic ones such as the bandoneon. This tune was a hit in France in the early '90s, and for almost 10 years thereafter the "blues from the east" and other world music influences would help European jazz find its own shape, without necessarily looking across the Atlantic.
