MUMBAI: Logistics companies have faced an up to 20% decline in volumes from their e-commerce business in the past one week, as cash-on-delivery payments were almost eroded by e-tailers following the government’s demonetisation move, said company executives and industry watchers.
Blue Dart Express, the Indian logistics and courier company owned by DHL Group has faced a dip in volumes, Charles Brewer, CEO of DHL e-commerce told ET. “There is a short-term pain. The volumes are lower. E-tailers aren't sending some of these COD (cash-on-delivery) shipments,” said Brewer. He added the next month or so will be “painful” from the profitability perspective.
Brewer added in the long- term, the Indian government’s move “is the right thing to do”. He also said the dip is short-term and this is a right move towards cashless/prepaid transactions.
Anil Khanna, managing director, Blue Dart, said that there has been a strong impact of the currency demonetisation on his business which is concentrated on the last mile delivery and counts on the fledging e-commerce sector as a big revenue opportunity.
Khanna said there has been a 20% dip in the e-tailing revenue (because of COD shipments) as 70% of the e-tailing shipments are cash-on-delivery and the impact on the bottom line will be much larger as a ‘COD surcharge’ is also sacrificed. “We feel that it’s a temporary impact and we totally back the demonetisation move,” he added.
Amazon India stopped accepting cash-on-delivery last Wednesday, while Flipkart and Snapdeal limited such orders to below Rs 1,000. These companies also stopped accepting old denomination notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000, asking customers to instead use electronic payments or keep valid currency at hand.
These measures have impacted daily operations, as companies ranging from Flipkart to Zomato accept cash for an estimated 60-70% of orders.
Abhishek Chakraborty, executive director at DTDC also said there has been a dip in volumes in its e-commerce segment. In DTDC’s case however, cash transactions in e-commerce consignments constitute for just 40% of total.
"PVR has opted to insist on not paying any rent for the period of closure. PVR does not own properties and all of its screens operate on rent," said a source in Chennai-based SPI Cinemas which was acquired by PVR in August 2018.
The retail industry is staring at losses of about half a billion dollars due to the closure of malls, apparel stores and the recent decision to pull shutters on factory production due to the havoc created by the coronavirus. There are over 15 lakh modern retail stores in India generating a business of almost Rs 4.74 lakh crore and employing over 60 lakh people.

Inclusive fashion - Traditionally referring to plus size, diverse cultures, sustainability.. And yet still so often, People with Disability are left out of the conversation and not thought of as part of the wider mainstream market.
So, for those playing along at home thinking, what’s the difference between inclusive and adaptive? Well, adaptive just means inclusive, right? Not quite. We would define “adaptive” as products or items that are designed FOR people with disabilities to meet a certain need. Specialised products. Whereas, we see “inclusive” as items that are created with a mindset to be accessible to all.
Here are two concrete examples: Our confetti and block jackets that are designed for wheelchair users. These were our first product and these are ADAPTIVE. These have shorter backs which make them not suitable for those not seated in a wheelchair. (The things you learn along the way, hey..)
But, our second items, our tees and long sleeves, are INCLUSIVE. They utilise universal design principles that make it suitable for those with sensory needs and spasticity or tightness or just anybody who wants to be super comfortable and look great to boot.
Why is it so important to us that we are an inclusive fashion brand? We don’t want to segregate people with disability to only having certain options to wear because they’re functional. We want everyone to have the same clothing options, no matter what.

The impending Microgaming Poker Network (MPN) exodus will see a number of sites, including Grosvenor, move across to iPoker.
Although the landscape is still unsettled, a number of operators have confirmed they will remain active after MPN shuts down.
Grosvenor Poker is one of the biggest names set to make the switch to iPoker. The news hasn’t been formally announced, however, a representative for the company confirmed the move to PRO.
MPN Migration on May 19
Grosvenor will migrate to the network on May 19, along with at least eight of the 16 sites currently on MPN, according to the poker media site. The news comes just a week after OlyBet announced its departure from the shuttered network to GGPoker.
It’s expected that some sites will close down completely once MPN folds its final hand. Many of the bigger names, however, will find a home elsewhere. For many that will be Playtech’s B2B network, iPoker.
As one of the oldest online poker networks in the world, it’s a safe bet for most. Although it’s no longer ranked among the top 10, iPoker is still a strong name within the industry. With the addition of Grosvenor Poker and other MPN refugees, it could even regain its position as one of the world’s most active networks.
Wherever operators decide to go, MPN will cease all activity on May 19. Microgaming CEO John Coleman made the news public on Sept. 20, 2019, stating that the network no longer matched the company’s “strategic vision for poker.”
Grosvenor Bids Farewell to Old Home
That announcement signaled the end of 17 years of service in the sector. When online poker was in its infancy, MPN was one of the first major networks to achieve success. As a subsidiary of software provider Microgaming, it was able to establish itself when the poker boom was fresh.
Alongside iPoker, it became one of the go-to networks for players in Europe. Its reputation was helped by the presence of brands like Ladbrokes and Unibet. But as the industry evolved, those brands departed and traffic decreased.
Even though it fell out of the limelight, it remained an active player in the market. However, the writing was always on the wall. With 2019 drawing to a close, the decision was made to close MPN.
Since that time, the team has been working with its partners to ensure players aren’t negatively affected. Those sites that wanted to leave have moved on to new pastures. Those that wanted to stay put will be migrated over to a new network, if possible.
Grosvenor Poker players will be among those making a move to iPoker, meaning the network will welcome a new group of players and a reputable brand.

Where's Grand County's real estate market heading?
Winter Park real estate sale volume.
The real estate market in the Fraser Valley has made plenty of headlines over the last few months, for better or for worse.
The issue of attainable housing has put much pressure on communities to find a solution to shrinking inventory, and with large residential development projects underway in Winter Park, many are wondering when things will change.
It all depends on whom you ask.
A realtor in Winter Park says business has been booming.
In Winter Park, total sales volume and the number of units sold for residential condos and town-homes has increased significantly over the first three months of 2016 from last year.

The presentation highlights profitable land sales in fiscal years 2014 and 2015 and Colorado’s improving real estate market as signs that the time may be right to restart real estate development at the two resorts.
Year over year condo sales are up while inventory is down more than 30 percent, according to the presentation.
Intrawest, which named Craig Cohn its new president of real estate effective Feb. 1, hopes to capitalize on Steamboat and Winter Park’s proximity to Denver by developing new master plans for both resorts.

Grand County's languid real estate recovery gets spur from developers
Several new construction projects underway in Winter Park promise to bounce Grand County back from the recession

The Denver Post

WINTER PARK — In the last couple of years, real estate sales in Colorado's resort communities have enjoyed healthy rebounds from the recession, climbing close to the heyday peaks hit in 2006 and 2007. Grand County's Granbv, Winter Park and Fraser, however, have lagged in that celebrated recovery.

According to the FDA, the Pipeline Embolization Device is a flexible mesh tube made of platinum and a nickel-cobalt-chromium alloy. It can be used to block off large or giant wide-necked aneurysms in the internal carotid artery, a major blood vessel supplying blood to the front of the brain.
So far, Tytle has performed five procedures using the pipeline stent and has two more scheduled. Guzman's remains the most dramatic aneurysm Tytle has repaired using the pipeline stent.
Early prognosis poor
Guzman's prognosis was poor without surgery. The aneurysm was likely to have continued growing and it also could have burst, causing internal hemorrhaging.
Tytle said he had a patient two years ago with an expanding aneurysm who was in a lot of pain. Like Guzman, he was planning to go to Argentina or Turkey for the procedure. But before he could get his passport, he died.
Before the surgery, there were two times when Guzman thought his aneurysm was going to burst. Once, during a stressful work day, he thought he could feel the aneurysm throbbing, he said.
“It was scary because I knew what could happen, and the best thing I could do was relax,” Guzman said.
Since the surgery, Guzman has experienced a renewed sense of positivity and a strengthening of his faith.
Guzman, a member of the Cheyenne tribe, goes to an American Indian ceremony known as a sweat every two weeks. During the sweat, he and other tribe members pray in a sealed hut for a few hours. Before the aneurysm and the surgery, he only went once a year.
Guzman said he believes his American Indian heritage also played a role in his recovery.
Three years ago, Guzman's brother took a vow to cure him. He started participating in a sun dance, a three-day ritual that Guzman's tribe holds every summer in Seiling.
During the ritual, Guzman's brother must dance for three days and three nights without food or water.
“The whole time he's dancing, you're praying,” Guzman said. “I feel like that had a lot to do with my success because he sacrificed for me, and my prayer was answered.”

Dakota Johnson is about to have a very full voicemail box.
The Fifty Shades of Grey star stood onstage at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City and told the crowd that she wants them to call her and share their stories about sexual assault. "I want to help you—women and girls around the world—tell your story," she said.
She took her iPhone out of her pocket and said, "This is my phone number. I want you to call me and tell me your story in a voicemail. Or I want you to send me a message at email@example.com and tell me what you've gone through as a women or girl in the world that's been suffering."
Johnson continued, "If we don't speak the same language, that's ok. We have a team for that. We'll translate it. And if you're going to threaten to hurt me, we have a team for that too." The number is 212-653-8806.
The actress announced to the crowd that she was going to "compile these stories and get them heard so I can amplify your voice. Together, we can achieve a world where she is equal."
After calling the number, her message recording says, "This is Dakota Johnson please leave a voice mail after the tone and I will record and share your story so we can live in a world where she is equal. Thank you."
Combatting sexual assault was a prevalent theme at the 2018 Global Citizen Festival. During her performance, Janelle Monae spoke about Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who testified on Thursday about an alleged assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. "I dedicate this to Dr. Ford, I dedicate this to Anita Hill, I dedicate this to anyone who is trying to make this place a better world," Monae said onstage.
The "Make Me Feel" singer described a feeling many people wrote about from Thursday on: "This past week was a brutal, brutal week for a lot of us women. It was an especially hard week for survivors of sexual violence."
While Global Citizen Festival had performances by top musicians such as Shawn Mendes, Janet Jackson and Cardi B, panic broke out briefly when a fence barrier collapsed. Johnson's boyfriend, Coldplay singer Chris Martin, told concert goers that they were "all safe" and had nothing to worry about.

Buy-online-pickup-in-store and buy-online-ship-to-store now account for over 10% of all of Macy’s digital demand.
As Macy’s continues its digital transformation, chairman & CEO Jeff Gennette said the department store retailer is putting “a lot” of its technology spend towards making its mobile “best-in-class.”
“We had another quarter of double-digit growth in our digital business, and mobile continues to be our fastest-growing channel,” said chairman & CEO Jeff Gennette. “We are pleased with the progress we are making on our strategic initiatives as they continue to drive top-line growth, keeping us on track to reach our 2019 goals.”
Macy’s has good reason to double-down on mobile tech. The retailer crossed $1 billion in app sales in 2018.
“We are focused on our mobile-first strategy,” Gennette said in the company’s earnings call. “We know our customers use our apps to shop.”
Macy’s reported capital expenditures were $264 million for the quarter, compared to $190 million last year, noting the increase was due to the timing of spending on its strategic investments. Macy’s plans to spend approximately $1 billion in 2019.
“In the Macy's brand, it is encouraging to see that our investment strategy is paying off,” said Gennette. “As an omnichannel retailer, our competitive moat is a healthy brick-and-mortar business, a robust e-commerce business, and a great mobile experience that ties it all together. We are applying a balanced investment strategy to support all three.”
According to Gennette, Macy’s breaks up its mobile expenditures and technology expense into three buckets of mobile: My Wallet, My Stores and My Stylist. Here’s a detailed look at each of Macy’s mobile investment areas.
Macy’s My Wallet allows shoppers to access offers in their online Wallet online and pay with a stored credit card. This is important to Macy’s because buy-online-pickup-in-store and buy-online-ship-to-store is becoming a much more potent piece of Macy’s omnichannel strategy. The two services now account for over 10% of all of Macy’s digital demand, compared to a year ago, when it was about 3.5%.
With My Wallet, shoppers have the opportunity to get in and get out of the store much faster and it helps Macy’s engage shoppers with the My Rewards function that gives app-exclusive point incentives and in-store rewards.
To improve the in-store experience, Macy’s is putting some of its mobile investment towards providing store maps to help guide customers around via their mobile device. A pilot for product location finding and in-store product recommendations if coming up, as well as extension of scan-and-pay capabilities for shoppers who want to get in and get out without engaging with sales staff.
Macy’s is working on providing virtual stylist opportunities.
“We're piloting that right now in the second quarter and we're adding the ability for the customers to find and follow a stylist that they can collaborate virtually with via chat or with a style board,” Gennette explained. “It also gives them the ability to follow ‘transform influencers.’”
In addition to its mobile success, Macy’s said 10% of digital sales came from its “vendor direct” program. The retailer lets third-party brands fulfill orders and ship directly to customers, but through the program Macy’s can add and modify product selection based on what it knows about customers.
Macy’s plans to add an additional one million SKUs into vendor direct in 2019 and go to 1000 vendors versus the 700 that it had as part of the program in 2018.
“When you look at the first quarter, we added 125 vendors, we added 265,000 SKUs, to the sites we added new brands in,” said Gennette.

If all your meals for a month had to be at one restaurant in the LA Area, which one would you select?
Because a week is too short to show what you would really like every day. A month just seems right.
I would be at Pann’s. Real people and real food in a Googie Dream.
Breakfast, Wings, waffles, Country Fried Steak, or Country Breakfast.
Lunch, Split Pea, Wings, Meat loaf, Patty Melt
Dinner – The Specials
6710 La Tijera Blvd (Cross Street: La Cienega Boulevard)
Los Angeles, CA
Hey Molly, thanks for the rec on biscuits and gravy... a kindly thumbs-up from your Gentleman of the South is good enough for me... my only problem with this place is keeping my son at bay - he eats like a hungry weasel that's been let loose on the table when we eat there... he loves their burgers and fries... and my fried chicken... and my wife's bouillabaisse... he won't touch my daughter's plate though - she bites...
some place with a massive menu that had healthy options.
Brent's has a big menu, but I wasn't thrilled by it.
Not Very Healthy.
Maybe Hugo's? Good Options there.
OR Follow Your Heart.
Do I have an unlimited budget here?
Most likely, I'd just go to Gelson's. They have deli options for any meal. Or bakery. Or I'd buy off the shelf. I know it isn't a restaurant per say, but It would be the best optin for reasonably good food that I can stay fit on.
A pretty good Salad bar, a reasonable sushi bar with a chef who humors me and my requests, a nice deli, a Wolfgang Pucks for pizza splurges, great produce, Victor Bene's (more splurging there) and a nice coffee station that also sells gelato for more splurging.
I would go to either Encino, North Hollywood, Calabasas or Westlake. Westlake has fresh fish soup at the fish counter!
I second Gelson's or even Whole Foods (particularly the Woodland Hills, Thousand Oaks, 23rd/Wilshire, and San Vicente/Barrington locations). They both have such comfort foody prepared food as well as fantastic salad bars...
I know heresy perhaps but somewhere with a large menu like Jerry's (if only I ate something there besides egg white omelettes, which I could live on for a month no problem) would be ideal, not Jerry's, just somewhere with a variety as wide.
As others mentioned, somewhere that offers a tasting menu as well as a gourmet menu and renowned chef at your beckon call...
My stock answer to this has always been The Grill on the Alley. You'd still have menu items left to try after a month, all of them fresh, wholesome and good tasting, in a comfortable, friendly environment where good old-fashioned customer service is a matter of pride.
If I had to eat breakfast lunch and dinner at one place, I'd honestly choose BLD. :p
The menu is large enough to offer diversity, and the food is obviously quite tasty.

Seeking help for addiction, depression, anxiety or other mental health issue isn't easy. Now, adults served by The Village's outpatient behavioral health and trauma center are welcomed to the office in a unique way. Local artists feature their artwork on the walls of the center.
Many of the artists say they're honored to display their works and hope to leave a positive impression on people seeking help.
Chris Brown, the first artist to display his work at The Village, said, "I especially like hanging my art here because, instead of just being displayed as something to be purchased, I think it has the potential to have a bigger impact on people."
Dorothy Dumond said, "My message is a simple one: even though there are terrible things that may happen to us, there is still beauty in this world. Focus on the things that bring you joy. The impact on me is the good feeling I have knowing that I may have made someone smile today."
Charles Hall, a local photographer, says, "I started doing photography to get me out of the house and to help cope with my PTSD, and it has taken me places I never thought I'd go. I hope everyone in that waiting room enjoys seeing my photos. Hopefully my art is a form of therapy for them − as it is for me − and that it helps them see the beauty in the world."
The Village has received many positive comments from the adults in the program about the art featured in the waiting room.
Recently, one woman seemed to be waiting longer than normal for her appointment. A Village employee approached her to ensure she was being taken care of. She smiled at him and said she enjoys arriving early for her appointments because the artwork was always beautiful and peaceful. She enjoyed coming in early to sit for a while before each session because it helped her feel calm.
"We are so grateful - and inspired - by the artists who have offered to display their work in our waiting room," said Dr. Steven Moore, vice president for business development at The Village.
"They help us to welcome those who walk through our doors looking for guidance, help and hope, and show that they are in a healing, accepting place."
Artists contributing to The Village are: Chris Brown, oil paintings; Dorothy Dumond, oil paintings; Charles Hall, photography; Kerri McKay, oil paintings; Elizabeth McNally, prints; Wanda Meekins, watercolor paintings; Jocelyn Schmalzer, acrylic paintings.
The Village's Adult Services program is open Monday through Thursday 8 am - 9 pm and Friday 8 am - 5 pm. Walk-ins are welcome. The program helps adults recover from depression, anxiety, substance use or addiction and other mental health issues. Individual counselling and group therapy, as well as Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), are available. Through MAT, people who are addicted to opioids can be treated for withdrawal management and to block the effect of the opioids taken. This intensive outpatient program takes a trauma-informed approach and provides an employment specialist and a recovery coach to set patients off on the right foot toward recovery. Bilingual services provided.

just beginning... life in new york means that somehow, vomiting on the subway platform is alright as long as you do it discretely... after stumbling up avenue b not even trying to walk in a straight line, i made it to the train and a lovely girl sitting next to me gave me a bottle of water. there are, in fact, good people in new york. really.
i've spent the last week going to fashion shows in which my sister is modeling. its a strange thing, really. because somehow we always knew she would be a model. It wasn’t just the “discovery” at some New York restaurant when she was 15. I think it may have been that time when someone asked her what she wanted to do when she grew up, to which she responded, “I want to divorce well.” Then again having two photographers for parents, we all reacted in our own way. I still hate having my picture taken, because I felt like without a pose, it wasn’t going to look right. Our older sister managed to find her “angle” and without fail holds her head that way absolutely every time anyone points a camera in her direction. And the little one…who is now the tallest of the bunch…was always playing. There was a communication there, between her and the lens. A rapor that I envy still, but appreciate as some sort of skill much like my ability to write a four sentence paragraph or use editing symbols.
There are few things about modeling as an industry that make “sense” in a traditional way. The continual emphasis on “image” is something of which we as a post-post modern society are painfully aware. In that lovely double-bind kind of way, we are just as wrapped up in the presentation of those images as we are indebted to, and enraptured with, them.
But in spite of my desire to deconstruct every photograph she’s in, my younger sister is beautiful and I like seeing her successful and happy…even if it’s doing something the value of which I find dubious at best. Because for her…it is “work.” And it is, truly, “good work,” and “hard work.” For which I respect her sense of self, which is the cornerstone of any accomplished person. She wants it so bad she can taste it, drives herself hard by being satisfied by nothing less than excellence. It is these things, that more than anything else makes me proud when I say, “my sister is a model.”

Towards Discovering and Containing Privacy Violations in Software
University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences
MetadataShow full item record
Malicious code can wreak havoc on our cyberinfrastructure. Hence, discovering and containing malicious code is an important goal. This paper focuses on privacy-violating malicious code. Examples of privacy violations are leaking private user data to an external entity or downloading data to a user's host without their permission. Spyware, which has recently received considerable attention in the popular literature is an important example of privacy-violating malicious code. We propose a multi-step approach to discovering and containing privacy violations. We have designed and implemented a dynamic slicing tool to discover dependencies between events in an execution trace. We demonstrate that dynamic slicing can be used to discover privacy violations. Information gatbered using dynamic slicing can be used to construct security policies to contain the discovered privacy violations. These security policies are then enforced by a sandbox. We have implemented a sandbox for Windows, and have successfully evaluated our approach on two applications: KaZaa and RealOne Player. For both of these applications we were able to discover privacy violations in them using our dynamic-slicing tool. Moreover, using information gathered through dynamic slicing we were able to design policies to thwart these privacy violations. Although our preliminary evaluation was performed on spyware, in the future we will evaluate our approach on other privacy violating malicious code.

Brahmastra, Laal Singh Chaddha and Avatar – films that can determine the fortunes of INOX and PVR
- March 2022 turned out to be the best months for PVR and INOX Leisure due to stellar movie releases.
- Companies can still replicate the success of March due to the strong pipeline of films in place for this year.
- “2022 or 2023 will be one of the best financial years for the Indian film industry,” INOX CEO Alok Tandon said.
After stellar activity in March, cinemas are hoping to make a comeback – but they need films that can draw audiences away from OTTs and TVs.
This is the view of five brokerage firms – ICICI Securities/Direct, Motilal Oswal, Prabhudas Lilladher and ShareKhan. They believe good movies can help them replicate the March success that came with super hits like the controversial Kashmir Files; Rajamouli’s RRR, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period drama Gangubai Kathiawadi, followed by KGF 2 in April.
“They witnessed a march – which was the best in history, led by outstanding film performances,” ICICI Direct said in its view on PVR and INOX. March steps accounted for half of the January-March quarter steps in theaters.
But these two companies need more than a good month to turn things around. According to ICICI Direct, a strong recovery in attendance and sales of these publicly traded theater companies will be driven by “high content slate lines”. If all goes well, she estimates that these two companies will be able to cross their pre-covid profits in the current financial year.
These companies are in desperate need of “revival-worthy” movie releases. Despite good revenue growth, INOX and PVR are still in the red – recording losses of ₹239 crore and ₹478 crore in the fourth quarter, respectively.
The Khan-Karan Factor
The next phase of turnaround may come from another set of long-delayed, high-profile movies with A-list stars. pandemic.
Aamir Khan has Lal Singh Chaddha, it’s a remake of Tom Hanks’ Forrest Gump. Salman Khan is also promising another film from his stable of formulas – called Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali. King of Khans – Shah Rukh Khan is also releasing a movie after four years called Pathan.
The fact that these Khan films are “highly anticipated” may help generate footsteps. INOX CEO Alok Tandon spoke of an influx of good releases in FY23 in a conversation with Business Insider India.
“2022 or 2023 is going to be one of the best financial years for the Indian film industry... I feel like we have a very, very strong lineup,” Tandon said. He also confirmed that March was their best month yet and that the film industry had been operating at limited capacity for the past few years due to Covid-19.
Then other bankable stars like Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor also have releases this year – at least one of them is funded by Dharma Productions, helmed by Karan Johar.

I really need a super hit
The many high-profile releases must meet expectations with “superhits”, to get companies back to their finances and pre-Covid steps.
“Deterioration in content quality could affect traffic and advertising revenue growth, failure to take adequate price increases at the right time could affect revenues given the increased cost of inputs and the inability maintain cost reduction initiatives that may impact operating profitability,” reads a report by ShareKhan.
Many high-profile releases also fell flat in the months leading up to March. There was a big buzz around Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone-starrer 83 – which was based on the 1983 Cricket World Cup which India won. However, it disappointed film distributors as it was declared a theatrical flop. Singh’s Jayeshbhai Jordaar also fell short of his expectations.
Kangana Ranaut’s Dhakkad, Akshay Kumar’s Bachchan Pandey, Prabhas’ Radhe Shyam also failed to impress the audience. Apart from 83, all other films were released after India overcame the third wave of Covid-19.
Pushpa and Spider Man in the Hindi Belt – both released in December 83 – were among the few films that managed to do well despite Omicron’s fears.

WALKER — An Eastern Iowa camp believes this summer was their last.
Camp Fire Camp Hitaga, near Walker, has decided to close after 83 years.
The council which oversees Hitaga said last week it’s selling the camp and will be dissolving afterward.
In a letter to alumni, officials said they can no longer meet financial obligations, including two bank loans and operational costs. Officials blame increasing maintenance expenses and declining attendance.
During the 60s, Hitaga saw 200 campers a week. These days, attendance is nowhere near that.
“For the past two summers we’ve had 150 kids for the whole summer,” said Valerie Smith, the camp’s executive director.
“I’m an alumna as well as the director. It hurts. But, I do also understand the operational reasons,” Smith said.
Camp officials hope that whoever purchases the camp will preserve it, in some way.

Auto Club visits Gateway Motorsports Park
You can add competitive racing to the list of interesting things members of the Priory family do. Junior George Hamilton and his dad, Steve, compete in formula racing, a competition in which racers build their own cars based on specifications given to them. Steve Hamilton started racing in the mid-90s, then took a hiatus when starting a family. He and George started again this year.
"My car looks like a big go cart," George laughed. "Sometimes in turns I'm pulling 2Gs though, and the car can slow from 130 miles per hour to 50 in under a second."
He added that though the car's top speed of 130 is slower than a NASCAR average, his car has faster turning and breaking. George's crew chief is Priory alum Thomas Weissert, '13, who's studying mechanical engineering at the University of Tulsa.
On Saturday, Oct. 25, Priory's Auto Club joined George at Gateway Motorsports Park for the last race of the season. There, George beat his previous personal record by 1.5 seconds. The Auto Club was shown around the car and the pit, met members of the pit crew and had access to all areas of the track facility.

Noble Corporation (NYSE:NE) was in 31 hedge funds’ portfolio at the end of December. NE investors should pay attention to an increase in hedge fund interest in recent months. There were 30 hedge funds in our database with NE positions at the end of the previous quarter.
To most investors, hedge funds are viewed as worthless, outdated investment tools of years past. While there are greater than 8000 funds in operation at present, we at Insider Monkey look at the moguls of this group, about 450 funds. Most estimates calculate that this group oversees the lion’s share of all hedge funds’ total capital, and by watching their highest performing picks, we have figured out a few investment strategies that have historically outpaced the broader indices. Our small-cap hedge fund strategy outpaced the S&P 500 index by 18 percentage points per annum for a decade in our back tests, and since we’ve began to sharing our picks with our subscribers at the end of August 2012, we have trumped the S&P 500 index by 25 percentage points in 6.5 month (see the details here).
Just as key, bullish insider trading activity is another way to parse down the stock market universe. As the old adage goes: there are lots of incentives for a corporate insider to get rid of shares of his or her company, but just one, very obvious reason why they would buy. Several empirical studies have demonstrated the useful potential of this tactic if you know what to do (learn more here).
Consequently, it’s important to take a look at the recent action surrounding Noble Corporation (NYSE:NE).
What have hedge funds been doing with Noble Corporation (NYSE:NE)?
At the end of the fourth quarter, a total of 31 of the hedge funds we track held long positions in this stock, a change of 3% from the previous quarter. With the smart money’s capital changing hands, there exists a select group of noteworthy hedge fund managers who were increasing their stakes significantly.
According to our comprehensive database, Adage Capital Management, managed by Phill Gross and Robert Atchinson, holds the largest position in Noble Corporation (NYSE:NE). Adage Capital Management has a $170 million position in the stock, comprising 0.6% of its 13F portfolio. Sitting at the No. 2 spot is Valinor Management LLC, managed by David Gallo, which held a $137 million position; 1% of its 13F portfolio is allocated to the company. Other peers that hold long positions include Sean Cullinan’s Point State Capital, Ryan Heslop and Ariel Warszawski’s Firefly Value Partners and Jim Simons’s Renaissance Technologies.

AUSTIN, Texas — A Texas archdiocese wants to become a foster care provider, but only if it can be exempt from adhering to federal rules against anti-LGBT discrimination.
The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston is joining the Texas Attorney General’s office and the Department of Family and Protective Services in challenging the rule that prohibits discrimination based on a person’s sexual orientation, gender identity, and other characteristics, the Houston Chronicle reported.
“The archdiocese may only provide foster care services consistent with its sincerely held beliefs on Catholic doctrine and social teaching,” said the lawsuit filed on Oct. 31. “As such, the archdiocese cannot provide home studies and certifications for unmarried cohabitating or same-sex married couples.”
Texas has had a long-lasting shortage of foster care placements that has forced some children to sleep in state offices overnight.
Child welfare advocates warn that the lawsuit could reduce the state’s already scarce pool of foster parents.
“When you completely shut the door to many good people because they are same-sex or single parents, it isn’t about fixing capacity, it’s about restricting capacity to certain groups,” said Will Francis, the executive director of the National Association of Social Workers Texas Chapter.
Neither Attorney General Ken Paxton nor the DFPS responded to the newspaper’s request for comment regarding the lawsuit.
A day after the lawsuit was filed, the federal Department of Health and Human Services revealed its plans to rewrite an Obama-era anti-discrimination rule to allow faith-based foster care and adoption agencies to exclude LGBT parents.
The lawsuit is the latest clash over religious liberty and discrimination protections in Texas.
Jonah Dycus, a spokesman for the archdiocese — which is represented by the Washington D.C.-based Becket Fund for Religious Liberty — said that the lawsuit does not aim to exclude anyone, including LGBT couples, from becoming foster parents.
“The archdiocese’s only goal in joining Texas’s suit is to expand the number of parents and providers available to help children find loving homes,” Dycus said in a written statement. “To that end, we hope that this lawsuit will remove a major barrier that is keeping religious organizations out of foster care and instead will allow Texas to take an ‘all-hands on deck’ approach to foster care and adoption ministry.”
It is not clear how the attorney general’s office formed a relationship with the archdiocese. Nick Reaves, counsel at Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, declined to comment on how it happened.

2019 Dodge Challenger Barracuda now comes with some estimated changes. We have waited too long for the new models and here it is! After the last couple of years of only getting simple updates, I am feel good about this most awaited model. This is exactly the concept design which has been offered by the consumers before. It’s not entirely the similar, but this is based on specifications. What do you think? The corporation agrees that this latest model is set depending on market interest.
Let’s look at the designs in more detail, we watch how the designs is more aerodynamic. This could possibly provide several efficiency like more effective gas consumption, better topspeed and more sturdy maneuvers. At the same time, I’m proud this model has applied the fresh design trends. Spotted from an extra aggressive lighting design and of course it’s full LED. A much more aggressive body model with a line of body that passes from the head lights connecting to the rear lights. I was also glad when I found unique grill, it looked like it had never ever already been before. Even though bringing the specifics of the earlier grill shapes, it really is more exciting. This is firmer and taper, with a touch of honeycomb on every single grid. When I saw the back, I have been quite amazed at the back light style. You can forget aged designs are seen, are available in curved LED lines. It may be such as delivering a sign when you’re behind it, definitely, this is 2019 Dodge Challenger Barracuda.
Honestly we hope that there will also be improvements to the platform, we can’t wait. The new frame is certainly capable to raise the 2019 Dodge Challenger Barracuda specs level. Perhaps a much lighter weight, wider size, stiffer body and more effective fuel consumption. But we have not received official proof from the manufacturers about this.
2019 Dodge Challenger Barracuda innovations a few interior info, the most visible is the trim colors. Any other can change were also made to the layout of the chairs, increasing the width of the legroom, the better high-quality trim material. In the infotainment system there is also a wide LED instrument panel in the center consul with the latest connections. Cabin durability will also be perfect and includes the latest safety system depending on world safety standards.
Now there is something exciting about the 2019 Dodge Challenger Barracuda engine. The engine is not totally new but several advanced technology has been implemented in order to boost economy, performance and torque. This is quite significant since the all this time the power produced is at a normal level. People are still awaiting the complete features of this advanced engine, because people are concerned how reliable this engine works. The advanced gearbox is anticipated to get an improvement, an extra precise transmission ratio to get awesome acceleration.
Business rivals have also begun to apply new technology to their latest units. As expected from two or three brands have dared to add safety technology and even switch new platforms and machines. Looks like the company is still optimistic with 2019 Dodge Challenger Barracuda to be competitive in the market next yr.
The question is where can we buy 2019 Dodge Challenger Barracuda. What is the price of 2019 Dodge Challenger Barracuda when it is released. when 2019 Dodge Challenger Barracuda will be started. Maybe this vehicle will be presented earlier this season or later in the first half of next season. The best price for this vehicle is not higher priced $ a thousand for the lowest variant, not much higher $ two thousand for standard models and of course not higher priced $ 3000 for the top edition. Although the manufacturers definitely has calculated it basically reported by market fees. So if you imagine the old model is time to upgrade, you need prepare to order 2019 Dodge Challenger Barracuda.

Losers of two in a row, the Jets are looking to rebound after a disastrous 3-7 start. In order to do so, however, they’ll have to defeat their AFC East rival: Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. The Jets and Patriots meet in Week 12 of the NFL season!

So last night there was a drone show with about 100 drones before midnight.
Preceding entry into the new year saw an
unprecedented moment in Portugal, where a
hundred drones designed several flags, figures,
among which the typical house of Santana, a
flower, a dolphin, a heart, a set of people apart
from the new signature of the Madeira brand,
Madeira, so yours.
An initiative integrated into the Macedos
Pyrotechnics year-pass show.
Hard to see what the location was, and why it wasn’t advertised or anything has hardly been said about it.
Here are some images the Regional secretary of tourism and culture have shared on their Facebook page…. So they knew about it….

Mumbai: Actress Hrishitaa Bhatt, a trained Kathak dancer, says she would love to judge a dance-based TV reality show as she finds it inspirational to watch people dance.
Hrishitaa, who has featured in movies like “Asoka”, “Shararat” and “Kisna: The Warrior Poet”, told IANS: “I was approached to judge a dance-based TV reality show when the reality shows trend had just begun, but due to my other prior commitments, I couldn’t do that.”
“Today, I feel I would be more than pleased to judge a dance based reality show. For me, more than judging, I would say it is inspirational to see the contestants dancing.”
The actress, who is passionate about Kathak, now performs semi-classical shows on stage. She finds it “very interesting”.
“Our heritage is so rich and I feel so good about it. As far as films are concerned, I am hoping to do a film based on dance which could be a biopic, comedy or anything,” she added.
Hrishitaa is currently shooting in Saharanpur for a new film, but she chose to be tight-lipped about the project’s details.


The Hybrid Shop’s (THS), the leader in hybrid and electric vehicle diagnostics and maintenance, announces today its international expansion to the Asia market through its new Dealer Partner, Optima Werkz. With its three full-service workshops in Singapore, Optima Werkz is one of the leading, full-service automobile services companies in the country, and joins a growing international network of Dealer Partners committed to providing expert care for hybrid and electric vehicles (HEVs).
Through its partnership and training with THS, Optima Werkz can now fully service hybrid and electric vehicles and provide THS’ hybrid Battery Pack Conditioning service. THS’ hybrid Battery Pack Conditioning is a green service that restores up to 95% of the battery pack’s original power and energy, while driving significant increased fuel economy over the vehicle’s lifetime.
Founded in 2012, Optima Werkz is among the largest and best-equipped service companies in Singapore and the surrounding region, with combined workshop space of over 30,000 sq. feet, cutting-edge diagnostics and equipment, and a large base of loyal, repeat customers. Committed to excellence in all aspects of its work, Optima Werkz is the premier automotive workshop for Continental cars, Japanese/Korean cars, and Supercars. The company also differentiates itself within the large, crowded automotive services market for its ability to provide customers with unmatched access to leading experts and resources while delivering the best in technology and infrastructure, all with a ‘customer-first’ attitude and approach. This new partnership with THS will provide Optima Werkz with the opportunity to extend its footprint and leadership positioning, while adding to its service specialization recognition and amounts of hybrid customers it is able to reach.
Key advantages and savings that Optima Werkz clients can expect from these new services include:
• Cost-savings – Battery Pack Conditioning is approximately 1/3 the cost of battery replacement. An underperforming hybrid battery results in decreased fuel economy and torque. Before The Hybrid Shop’s introduction of proprietary battery conditioning technology, hybrid owners’ only option was battery replacement which could cost as much as $4,000- $9,000;
• Enhanced fuel economy – Battery Pack Conditioning results in 10-35% fuel economy improvement, depending on the initial state of the battery at the time of service; and
• Enhanced vehicle performance – Every HEV undergoing these services will perform more efficiently, cost less to operate, and experience improved drivability.
Optima Werkz will offer a comprehensive menu of services that ensures their hybrid customers receive the highest quality repair and maintenance, including:
• Battery Pack Conditioning and rebuilding services;
• Testing of electric transmissions, DC-DC converters, power inverter and control systems; and
• Hybrid specific maintenance.
Optima Werkz will also offer the optional State of Health (SOH) program that assesses how a vehicle’s overall systems are performing to deliver maximum results, reliability, and cost-savings.
The partnership between THS and Optima Werkz is a part of their ongoing commitment to serve as a preferred long-term one-stop service center for their client’s automotive servicing and repairs needs.
“We are so proud to be a Dealer Partner of THS and to have the opportunity to provide the globally-leading hybrid battery conditioning services in Singapore,” Optima Werkz’s Managing Director, Jason Ang states. “Our team works hard to lead the industry with in-depth technical expertise, top resources, and a commitment to customer satisfaction and excellence, supported by top-of-the-line equipment. Thanks to THS, we can now efficiently service our hybrid customers and be the leader in our local market.”
“THS is honored to partner with Optima Werkz, our first international Dealer Partner in Singapore and to not only certify their team in our battery conditioning service but as experts in care of hybrid vehicles as well,” Dave Crawford, CEO of The Hybrid Shop, stated. “It is also a very exciting time for THS. We are currently exploring expanding our network into Australia and are attracting interest from business across Europe and Asia as well.”

U.S. supporters of free trade have reason to rejoice about the framework agreement for further negotiation in the World Trade Organization (WTO) that was announced on July 31. The high hopes that began in Doha, Qatar in November 2001 for continued reductions in government barriers to trade were reduced to a slight glimmer after the Cancun ministerial meetings in September 2003 ended in disputes between major blocks of countries. While the framework agreement is long on skeleton and short on muscle, it provides an opportunity to address needed reforms in world trading rules.
While supporters of free trade gear up for the nitty gritty details of WTO negotiations, they also have to explain trade policy issues here at home. Our government’s continued involvement in the WTO must be reaffirmed by Congress in early 2005. Trade supporters may see this as an almost automatic move, but determined opponents of the rights of U.S. producers to sell products to consumers in other countries and U.S. consumers to buy products made in other countries will likely make a stand against continued involvement in the WTO.
Early in 2005 the President will send a recommendation to Congress that the United States continue its membership in the WTO. The Uruguay Agreement Act Congress passed in late 1994 committed the United States to the provisions of Uruguay Agreement and the World Trade Organization that was created as the successor to the General Agreement on Tariff and Trade (GATT). The Act requires that every five years the President send to Congress a recommendation to remain in the WTO.
Any member of Congress can introduce a joint resolution to deny continued involvement in the WTO. Congress is required to vote on the resolution within 90 days of receiving the recommendation from the President.
The process for the decision in 2000 to remain in the WTO gives an indication of how it will likely work in 2005. On March 2, 2000, President Clinton recommended that the United States remain a part of the WTO. A resolution to withdraw from the WTO was introduced by Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) on March 6th. The House Ways and Means Committee, which handles trade issues in the House of Representatives, on June 8th unfavorably reported the resolution to the full House on a 35-0 vote. The House voted against the resolution on June 21.
Under the Uruguay Agreement Act, the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) is required to report to Congress each year no later than March 1 on the actions of the WTO during the previous year. This includes the major activities and work programs, budget and personal information and actions by dispute panels. For the year in which the President is to recommend continued participation to buy Propecia from website
, the USTR’s report is to include an analysis of the effects of the agreement on the United States, the costs and benefits of past participation and the value of continued participation in the WTO.
Given the active negotiation process of the past year and the ongoing trade disputes with several of our major trading partners, the USTR’s report in March of 2005 will likely provide plenty of opportunity for opponents of free trade to argue their case. Supporters of free trade will need to be prepared to explain the ongoing benefits of free trade.
