Italy’s Government-sponsored Fondo Strategico Italiano is interested at investing in Ponti spa, a world leader in the production of vinegar, pickles, vegetable preserves in oil, condiments and ready-make sauces, since 1867.
The news was told yesterday by Ponti’s chairman himself, Cesare Ponti, who controls the company together with his brother Franco and the sons, speaking at margin of the annual meeting of Aiipa (the Italian Association of food products makers).
“The Fund contacted us”, Mr. Ponti said the press, telling that “a meeting is to be scheduled by the end of July” and the his company “is interested in exploring solutions in order to strenghten its internationalization process with particular attention to distribution channels”.
Mr. ponti added that the family already decided to open its shareholders capital to a third party back in 1986 when they sold a stake to Star, a leading condiments and ready sauces. That stake eas then bought back by the family in 2002. “We do not have any foreclosure to a private equity fund to enter our equity, but every opening has to be seen from the international growth point of view”, Mr. Ponti added.
Speaking at the same event yesterday, Fondo Strategico’s ceo Maurizio Tamagnini said again that the Fund is looking at more investment opportunities in the food&beverage sector after having invested in Inalca last october (see a previous post by BeBeez).
Headquartered in Ghemme (Novara, Northern Italy), Ponti spa reached 116 million euros in revenues in 2014 (from 114 in 2013) with an ebitda margin of 11% and a net profit of 5%.
“The company is not aiming at listing on a Stock Exchange”, finally said Mr. Ponti.
Esclusa infine ogni ipotesi di quotazione. “La nostra azienda non mira alla Borsa”, ha concluso Ponti.

It was a tiny shift, but also a sea change: For the first time in the past 26 years, new music was released globally on Friday last week.
The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, an organization representing 1,300 record labels in 45 different countries, announced the change from Tuesday to Friday in February. In order to acclimate the music consumer with this shift, the IFPI launched newmusicfridays.com. Hey, it’s a neat site, but it’s also a sign of the times: The end of the road is coming for the music CD. Here’s why.
The birth of New Music Tuesday
Tuesday became the default day for new music releases from record labels in April 1989, after a National Association of Recording Merchandisers (NARM) convention the month prior. Russ Bach was the newly appointed president of CEMA — formerly the distribution companies Capitol Records, EMI Records, Manhattan Records, and Angel Records — and he asked the industry executives to accept Tuesday as the default day instead of Monday.
His reasoning was simple: Monday is the first business day and thus record stores get shipments of CDs late that afternoon or evening, since you can’t ensure every store in America will get a shipment at the same time. People shouldn’t show up on Monday expecting a disc that hadn’t arrived. A month later, the music industry was releasing music on Tuesday.
Why the move to Friday?
The music industry is finally shedding the physical dead weight as it transitions into the digital age. According to a February op-ed by IFPI head Frances Moore, the switch to Friday is predicated on the belief consumers “want music when it’s available on the Internet — not when it’s ready to be released in their country.” He’s referring to the previous, fragmented global release schedule that saw some countries releasing new music on Monday, others on Tuesday, some on Friday. The newmusicfriday.com FAQ also states Friday is “the time of the greatest activity on social media,” another digital platform that has helped 1) unify the global marketplace, and 2) facilitate illegal file sharing.
Moore said Friday and Saturday were the days of the “highest levels of purchasing traffic online.” That belief has been proven in grandiose manners in the music industry over the past two years. Beyoncé and Drake both released new, iTunes-exclusive albums on Friday since 2013. Beyoncé’s self-titled album went on to sell a record breaking 617,000 downloads over the weekend. Similarly, Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late sold 535,000 copies over the February 12 weekend, the highest such total in a three-day span since Beyoncé’s.
The CD grave
The Recording Industry of America Alliance (RIAA) reported that digital music revenues increased in 2014, while physical formats, including CDs, continued to decline “in both total shipment volume and value.” The numbers of CDs shipped has declined from 253 million in 2010 to 144 million in 2014, a slump of 43 percent. The year before Spotify came streaming onto American shores in July 2011, shipments had only decreased by 12.2 million. Since 2011, CD shipments have decreased by no less than 26 million per year. At this current rate, record labels will be shipping half the amount of albums they were just five years ago before the end of the year.
During the same time, streaming music has grown to overtake CDs in terms of revenue and has begun to cannibalize the digital market. In 2014, streaming services brought in $1.87 billion compared to the $1.85 billion accumulated from CD sales. Since Spotify’s U.S. debut, digital single downloads have decreased from 1.3 billion in 2011 to 1.2 billion in 2014. Digital single downloads had not seen a single yearly decrease prior to 2013. There are also fewer devices coming with built in optical disc drives. None of the major tablets have one, more computers are beginning to skip them, and nearly half of U.S. adults have an MP3 player.
A vinyl retirement home
There is an afterlife for antiquated technology, as evidenced by the resurgence of vinyl albums in the last five years. Since 2010, as CDs sales dropped to historic lows, vinyl sales have increased from 2.8 million in 2010 to an all-time record of 9.2 million in 2014. Actually, vinyl sales have broken the all-time sales record every consecutive year since 2008. One appeal of vinyl is the packaging, which can be collected like a work of art. Earlier this year, Jay Z teamed up with Jack White’s Third Man Records to release a limited edition 7-inch vinyl of his 2013 Magna Carta Holy Grail. The vinyl packaging included pages of black boxes you could scratch off to read lyrics, all the album artwork, and mirrored pages to show reverse-print.
CD packaging is a smaller version of vinyl, and there are still artists dedicating time to increasing its value through design. The Wu-Tang Clan released their last album, A Better Tomorrow, in a boomboox. Before that, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin came in a box that should be in a museum instead of someone’s home.
Of course, you can’t hang a song stream on a wall and can’t perfectly duplicate artwork in a .pdf file, so the very physical form that has rendered CDs obsolete may be its final saving grace. Then again, are you still carrying around that CD player?

If you’re in the market for a new HVAC system, with all the innovations being made in the world of HVAC lately, you’ve probably heard a lot of different terms and might be wondering what they all mean. For example, you might’ve heard of this “heat pump” that is an air conditioner. Or a “mini split” that is both an air conditioner and a heater.
The real confusion comes when people ask us if they should get a mini split or a heat pump installed. In a nutshell, a mini split IS a ductless heat pump. Most of the time! Are you confused already? Let’s clear up any confusion with a deeper explanation. That way, you can be an informed consumer when it’s time to pull the trigger on a new system.
What’s the difference between a heat pump and a mini split?
Heat pumps can be ducted (meaning they rely on a system of ductwork) or ductless. As we mentioned earlier, a mini split is a ductless model of a heat pump. Although there are some models of mini splits that provide cooling only, most of them are 2-in-1 systems that provide both heating and cooling. And this is what heat pumps are known for.
A ducted heat pump is similar in its set-up to a central air conditioner. It consists of an outside unit and an indoor unit. However, a heat pump can provide both heating and cooling, unlike an air conditioner which can only produce cooling.
A ductless mini split has a unique set-up unlike anything on the market. It consists of an outside unit but has multiple indoor units or air handlers. These air handlers are mounted on the walls or ceiling of individual rooms of your home. Instead of using a system of ductwork to deliver the conditioned air to the rooms of your home, the mini split relies on each air handler for that.
Which one is better for my home?
The answer is: it depends!
- If your home doesn’t have ductwork or its ductwork is old and worn out, then a mini split is the perfect solution.
- If you’re on a budget or don’t intend to keep your home for very long, a traditional, ducted heat pump is cheaper to purchase upfront and to install.
- If you have family members who are constantly arguing about what the temperature should be, mini splits allow for amazing zone control.
No matter whether you choose a ducted or ductless heat pump, both systems are eco-friendly, highly efficient, and work like a charm. Whether or not you choose the ductless system because your home doesn’t have any air ducts, or you choose a heat pump because it’s more affordable or works with your air duct system, you’re in good hands. Just make sure to have the system installed by a highly experienced and qualified team such as ours.

Preheat oven to 350°Fahrenheit. Line a 10×15″ jelly roll pan with foil or parchment paper. Spray with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Sift the flour together with the baking powder and add to the egg mixture a little at a time while stirring on low.
Heat the milk together with the butter until the butter has melted and fold into the flour mixture.
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Spread the peanut butter gently over the warm cake. This will help the peanut butter to spread evenly.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes to cool.
In a medium sized microwave safe bowl, heat the chocolate and the shortening in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each interval until melted. As the chocolate starts to melt, lower the time to 15-20 second intervals.
Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the refrigerated peanut butter and spread quickly and gently with a spatula. If you work with this step too long you’ll end up combining the two layers.

You bought your L100 because its dependability and an American name appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? When your Saturn L100 left the factory, it was destined for a driver who wants an American name in their automobile. Your Saturn dealership isn't the only place to find trusted parts to repair your L100. Anyone who owns a Saturn knows that when it comes to fixing their car, truck, or SUV only the most superior replacement parts will do.
Using hydraulic pressure to accomplish a task is a millennia old feat of engineering. Your Saturn L100 has a brake master cylinder that creates a large amount of pressure for your braking system inside a very small space. This part uses the force from your brake pedal to compress brake fluid and distribute it to each caliper or wheel cylinder. That is where the braking force from your Saturn L100 brake master cylinder is applied; as the calipers and wheel cylinders create the necessary friction so your car or truck can stop in an emergency.
When your Saturn needs the best replacement Brake Master Cylinder, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Ordering new Saturn parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement L100 parts on the internet.

Watch for Student Loan Errors
Some loan servicers may be dropping the ball on keeping you up-to-date on how much you may owe.
If you’re paying off student debt, you may not be able to rely on the company that manages your loan to help you select the best repayment option—or even give you accurate information about how much you owe.
A recent report by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Inspector General found that the companies the department pays to manage and collect payments on federal student loans—known as loan servicers—failed to provide borrowers with accurate information about repayment options. Some also miscalculated payment amounts for borrowers.
Borrowers should keep track of the balance, payment history, loan servicer and repayment status for each loan. Before consolidating federal student loans or switching repayment plans, visit www.studentaid.ed.gov/sa/repay-loans/understand/plans to confirm information you’ve received from your loan servicer.
If you find an error or have other problems with your loan servicer, file a complaint on its website. If you don’t get a response, file a complaint with the Department of Education at https://feedback.studentaid.ed.gov. Depending on where you live, you may also be able to get help from a state student loan ombudsman.

Moscow hosts talks on the Middle East on August, 25. The President of Egypt, the King of Jordan, and the Crown Prince of the UAE may be joined by other high official representatives of the region.
The talks which will be held in Moscow may seriously influence the state of affairs in the region. According to the experts, the Syrian and caliphate matter will be at the heart of the meeting. However, it is not clear whether it will be a multilateral meeting of four countries (Russia, Egypt, Jordan, and the UAE), or there will be bilateral negotiations.
Moscow actually aims at switching attention of the Arab leaders from Assad to caliphate, which, as they realize, represents a real threat for them. Although the Russian relations with Egypt, Jordan, and Emirates have different stories, the countries are united with understanding the problems of the extending area of caliphate influence.
Jordan will not stand, in case the Sunni caliphate remains and extends, as well as Egypt, where the Muslim Brothers are boiling up, won't be able to keep the balance, experts claim.
It is noted, that caliphate also threatens the Saudis, and all other monarchies of the Gulf. Those leaders of the Arab states arriving to Moscow have a clear understanding of it. They realize that the US, which indirectly created the caliphate, having destroyed Iraq and spreading havoc in Syria, won't defend them. Thus, the summit in Moscow is held in due time.

Russia suspected the USA's involvement in the Nord Stream blasts immediately after the incident. As for the Norwegians, their participation in the incident seems very surprising

We were both deeply involved in our nationâ€™s fight against al-Qaida and its early fight against the Islamic State, and we both believe it is imperative that President Donald Trump remember what we consider to be the most important lesson of counterterrorism - the ability of a terrorist group to quickly regenerate if the pressure on it is reduced. The pattern is clear: If we do not keep the pressure on the Islamic State and other groups, we believe we will again face a threat to our homeland.
We saw this pattern repeatedly during our careers - always with potentially devastating consequences. When the United States drove al-Qaida out of Afghanistan in the fall of 2001, the group went to prearranged safe houses in the urban areas of Pakistan, where it continued to conduct aggressive attack planning. Over the next year, the CIA, with the assistance of Pakistani intelligence, systematically captured many al-Qaida members, including a number of the groupâ€™s senior leaders, and significantly reduced the groupâ€™s capabilities to attack us.
The remnants of al-Qaida then moved again, this time in 2003 to tribal areas of Pakistan - in a remote region along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border where the Pakistani government has limited control, and where the group was no longer under pressure from the U.S. or Pakistani governments.
Without that pressure, the groupâ€™s capabilities to attack us rebounded. By the summer of 2005, al-Qaida directed and organized the July 2005 London bombings. And by the summer of 2006, al-Qaida was able again to catastrophically attack the United States.
A similar dynamic took place in Yemen. In the aftermath of 9/11, an al-Qaida-associated group there grew in size and threat - the outgrowth of a senior al-Qaida leader fleeing South Asia for the Arabian Peninsula. It conducted several attacks. The United States, working with the Yemeni government, was able to bring the group under control by arresting and imprisoning most of its leadership. But then a massive prison break in February 2006 allowed the group to re-establish itself.
Within 24 months of the prison break, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula - or AQAP, as it is known - was again a threat to the West, conducting two attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa in 2008, nearly bringing down a U.S. airliner flying to Detroit on Christmas Day in 2009, coming close to detonating sophisticated explosives packed in printer cartridges on two U.S. cargo flights in 2010, and nearly putting an individual wearing a nonmetallic suicide vest on a U.S. aircraft in 2011.
The Obama administration acted quickly, weakening the group with a military campaign, an operation that continues today.
The Islamic State was, in part, an outgrowth of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq at the end of 2011. When the U.S. military departed the country, al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI), the predecessor organization to the Islamic State, was largely - although not completely - defeated, the work of the Bush and Obama administrations, along with the support of the Iraqi government. When we left, there were only a few thousand AQI members remaining, most of them in hiding.
Without U.S. military support, AQI began to bounce back almost immediately. What does this key lesson mean for today? It means the United States and its coalition must keep the pressure on the tens of thousands of Islamic State members who remain in Iraq and Syria. It means we need to do the same in Afghanistan, where the remnants of al-Qaida work closely with the resurgent Taliban. And it means we must keep the pressure on al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula in Yemen.
Michael Morell, a Post contributing columnist, was deputy director of the CIA from 2010 to 2013.

Bank of the Year 2018 -- Brazil: Bradesco
November 5, 2018
In a time of economic and political turmoil, Brazil’s banking sector has managed to post solid earnings growth. A priority for this year’s winner: rebuilding its loan portfolio
After a severe, two-year recession ended in 2017, Brazil’s GDP has recorded modest growth, rising just over 1% in the first half of 2018. The economic recovery and historically low interest rates helped Bradesco, the second largest privately owned bank in Brazil, increase net income by 9.7% year-on-year to 5.16 billion reais ($1.4 billion) in 2018’s second quarter and boost lending by 6% to 516 billion reais by the end of the June.
“Everything has proceeded as normal,” says Bradesco CEO Octavio de Lazari. “We have emerged from the recession with a positive outlook, whichever way you look at it.”
Now, as employment and household income levels rise, Bradesco is hoping to improve the quality of its loan portfolio and increase the sales of products and services in 2019. De Lazari is confident that declining mortgage rates will release a pent-up demand for home loans, especially among middle-class homebuyers, and solidify the bank’s top spot in the segment.
“We are pinning our greatest expectations on home loans, car loans and payroll loans, as well as working capital for small and mid-sized companies,” he says.
Bradesco also wants to expand its client base by turning long-time customers from other areas, such as credit cards, car loans, insurance and pension plans, into account holders. “We are talking about more than 30 million clients who are in this situation,” de Lazari says.
But pursuing these goals comes with challenges. Customers do not visit bank branches as often as they used to, opting instead to bank through smart phones or other digital channels. Bradesco, which took over a number of bank branches when it acquired HSBC’s Brazilian business in 2016, closed or merged 500 branches in 2017 and plans to shutter another 150 branches in 2018.
In turn, it has signed up 250,000 clients at its digital bank Next since last year. “The Next client is young, and looking for simple, fast attention,” de Lazari says. “Next’s operating volumes are growing at an impressive rate.” LF


An investigation into sustainable construction stimulators and blockers
The UK Government has been using a combination of regulation, economic instruments and voluntary agreements to meet targets of ethical, social and environmental performance
in driving the climate change agenda. The UK is the first country worldwide to set a legally binding 80% greenhouse-gas emissions reduction target by 2050. The built environment in the UK is responsible for about 40% of carbon emissions, 32% of solid waste generation,
20% of water effluents, and 40% of all energy used. As such, the construction industry has been targeted to facilitate the transition to a low-carbon economy.Indeed, sustainability
within the built environment has become the forefront of all sustainable development policies in the UK. However; various studies have outlined the difficulty of translating the
UK’s 80% greenhouse-gas emissions reduction target to a micro level such as construction projects. This research engaged the top 100 UK contractorsto investigate stimulators that drivethe implementation of sustainability in their projects,and assess associated blockers.
Findings reveal that sustainability requirements driven by financial and business were viewed by participating contractors as being the key motivators in construction projects. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) was viewed as a vehicle to improve social and environmental dynamics of sustainability through local community support initiatives,
which in turn has increased companies’ opportunities to secure new projects, particularly from public clients. On the other hand, respondents called for clearer and inclusive
legislation; increased awareness; enhanced communication and coordination among project stakeholders; and widespread sharing and dissemination of sustainable
construction best practice data.
Keywords: UK; contractors; sustainable construction; stimulators; blockers.


Optical EngineeringScale-reduction rule without drop in the sensitivity of a silicon-based guided-wave optical pressure sensor using a micromachined diaphragm

In this study, an original scale-reduction rule without a drop in the sensitivity of a guided-wave optical pressure sensor was obtained using a micromachined diaphragm. The sensor has a rectangular diaphragm as a pressure-sensitive structure and a sensing waveguide across the diaphragm. Its sensitivity is theoretically known to be strongly dependent on the dimensions of the diaphragm. According to the theoretical results, the sensitivity can be kept constant even if the diaphragm dimensions are reduced as long as both the aspect ratio and the characteristic length of the diaphragm remain constant. Here, the characteristic length is introduced as the cube of either width or length of the rectangular diaphragm divided by the square of its thickness. Such a scale-reduction rule would be very useful for miniaturizing a sensor without reducing sensitivity, although it has not been experimentally confirmed. In this study, the scale-reduction rule was experimentally examined using three fabricated sensors with the same aspect ratio and the same characteristic length. The measured sensitivities of the three sensors were quite similar to each other, as theoretically predicted.

Swells from Hurricane Cristobal mean an enhanced risk of dangerous rip currents and high surf Wednesday for Long Island's Atlantic beaches, the National Weather Service said.
Although the hurricane is forecast to pass well to the south and east, posing no threat to Long Island, the long period swells are expected to generate an enhanced risk of dangerous rip currents from Wednesday through at least part of Friday, the service's Upton office said.
Waves and surf between 4 to 6 feet also are possible Wednesday and building to 6 to 8 feet Wednesday evening and into Thursday, the service said.
Its high surf advisory runs until 10 p.m. Thursday.
The risk for rip currents also includes beaches in Queens and Brooklyn.

Julia Reynolds, who joined from Tesco this year, said that 50 of its 200 brands have been axed. Reynolds is holding meetings with key brands to decide what role they will play in the e-tailer’s growth strategy.
She said: “The business had mainly been about buying in other brands and we had far too many. About 30 of these were accounting for 70 per cent of sales, so there was a long tail that needed to be chopped off.”
Figleaves has only one own-brand, Just Peachy, which Reynolds said is performing robustly, despite no marketing.
The e-tailer is to expand the number of Just Peachy ranges and is mulling a collection under the Figleaves banner this year.
Reynolds has also drafted in designers to work on new homewares ranges, which will include bedding and towels.
“We will go small on this to start and perhaps do a big launch in January,” said Reynolds. “We are also looking at going into hardware, such as toiletries and candles.” Previously, Reynolds was boss of Tesco’s central European clothing unit.
Separately, chief operations officer Robin Terrell, who joined Figleaves in 2005, has left the e-tailer. There are no immediate plans to replace him.
Figleaves has appointed a new head of buying and is searching for a merchandising director.
The e-tailer made a loss of£4.2 million in the year to June 30, 2006, but Reynolds said that the company is profitable and on track to hit sales of£30 million this year.

To the Fifth Power
Powers Trilogy, Book 1
Publisher: Entangled Publishing, LLC
Date of Publication: July 29, 2013
Number of pages: 120
Cover Artist: Pamela Sinclair
Three years ago, Zola Noite's nemesis killed her sidekick and forced her to watch. The guilt drove her to hang up her cape. Zola knows one thing for certain. She will never be a superhero again.Guest Post:
Psychologist Dr. Arturo "Fort" Forte specializes in super-powered mental health. He’s the only reason Zola can once again call herself sane—although, truth be told, the heat between them is slowly driving her back to mad.
When three mega-villains escape the prison Fort oversees, all Zola's best laid plans go up in flames. Fort asks her for help, and she can't turn down the man she's secretly come to love. As battles ensue and clues add up, the one thing Zola trusts is called into question: Fort's true agenda and which side he’s on.
Confessions to the Fifth Power - Part Two, I Want It All
There’s something about a confession that really gets us going. If someone tells us they have a secret we automatically lean in, and our hearts start to pound. What will they say? Will it be sexy? Scary? Scandalous? We have to know. And we love confessions most when nobody knows the truth but us.
Then, there are the things we don’t want anyone to know. We hide our feelings, especially when those emotions revolve around forbidden love. Our boss or an employee, that sexy professor, or an exes’ hot sibling. We lie behind our smiles, hoping that person never notices how we burn for them.
With that in mind I thought it’d be fun to see what secrets Zola and Fort, the heroine and hero of TO THE FIFTH POWER, might reveal before the story begins. There are four secret sessions in total. Without question all four are sexy, scary, and juicy—like Fort and Zola themselves.
You’ll find the release schedule here.
And now, these are their confessions:
Therapy Session #: 54
Patient: Zola Noite
Supervising Physician: Dr. Arturo Forte
She’s doing her best to deceive me.
Not quite lying, more like hiding things. Zola excels at deception. It’s part of what makes her sexy. The words are carefully chosen, but I’m not hearing her. My gaze lingers on her mouth. The supple plumpness of her lower lip begs to be touched. And the fabric at the front of my slacks grows uncomfortably tight.
I look away, pushing unprofessional thoughts out of my mind. Instead of staring at her, and allowing the heat behind my gaze to blaze across her body, I pretend to jot down a note.
I am her psychologist, after all.
With most patients lies don’t bother me. They all lie. I eventually break through their defenses to their truth. But with her I want to get out of my chair and shake her. Mostly because I want to touch her. And I’ll justify it any way I can.
Frustration is a growl within my throat. I hold up my hand. Impatience makes the gesture rough. Her monologue outlining how much better she feels because of therapy trails off.
Our gazes meet and hold.
Who am I to be angry with her? I’m hiding so much more than she is. I want her. Not just physically. I want to take everything she has.
But I’ve yet to figure out how to have it all. So I hide behind a mask of professionalism.
My fingers curl around my pen, knuckles turning white. Aware she might notice, I say something to make her smile and hide what I’m feeling.
The doctor patient relationship between us is too precious. I am her psychologist, after all.
Maybe that’s the problem.
Perhaps our relationship has to end.
TOUR WIDE GIVEAWAY
SUPERPOWERED LOVE – The Swag Pack
To celebrate the release of my new superhero romance, TO THE FIFTH POWER, I’ve matched the book up with an equally hard hitting, highflying, romanc-a-thon of a swag pack called SuperPowered Lurve. . .and there are snacks too!
Here’s what you’ll win:
The Amazing Spiderman see clip
First love’s first blush is so amazingly adorkable in this movie. There’s no doubt Spidey is one of the greatest to ever rock a mask, but the romance here starts off awkward then blooms. That love story and its growth center the movie. Plus, there’s spinning and skipping in this clip. D’aww.
TO THE FIFTH POWER is the first in the Powers Trilogy. In the series a team of superheroes break into duos to fight very personal battles, and to unwittingly fall in love. I chose The Avengers because it is the linchpin to the love stories in Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, and various versions of The Hulk (incredible or otherwise). And because it hints at a romance I’m anxiously hoping to see: Hawkeye and Black Widow.
Blink* - Doctor Who episode see clip
Whether you’re a Doctor Who fan or not, there’s no denying the genius of everybody’s favorite episode, Blink. It’s frightening, heartbreaking, and utterly magnificent. It also features the most perfect love story ever told in 10 minutes or less. Remember this line: “I have until the rain stops…”
Uh huh, this is a movie about a FUBAR superhero. It’s also a story of epic love and sacrifice. The three main characters forfeit the most important things in their lives for each other. That’s amazing on its on. Also, sexual tension, thy name is Will Smith and Charlize Theron. Pure sizzle.
Never did the words “I love you just the way you are” “stay” take on more meaning than in the romance of Liz Sherman and Hellboy. She’s surly as hell and he’s from there. Yet somehow we adore them both. Not only does this team up get the job done, they get each other.
There’s a line in TO THE FIFTH POWER, “So what? Even villains fall in love.” In Megamind, a super villain with a huge blue cranium and an ace reporter take us on a classic rock infused joy ride, showing us just how fun the fall can be.
If you’ve seen Man of Steel and enjoyed it you’ve got to watch Superman 2, starring Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder. Actually, you’ve got to see Superman 2 whether you’ve ever seen another Superman movie or not. Reeve and Kidder have become the prototype for this iconic power couple. Their snappy banter reminds you of a 1930’s film and their chemistry will blow up your lab. Bonus: Terrance Stamp as the villain. Oh my Zod!
This Little Piggy* – Justice League Unlimited Episode
The Justice League and Justice League Unlimited animated series told some of the finest DC Comics stories to ever hit screens. I recommend watching both from beginning to end. But, if you’re only interested in the romance, Batman and Wonder Woman have a serious love thang going. It’s clutch your pearls worthy. In this episode Batman does things we never thought he would to save Wonder Woman from a bad case of being hogtied.
POWER UP SNACKS
I can’t set you loose on a marathon of such epic proportions without offering a few snacks. If you win, you’ll also power up with these:
Moose Munch or Popcorn Mix – Misfits TV Series
I’m sad I wasn’t able to include the love story of Alisha and Simon from the British television series Misfits. This snack is in honor of them and an ongoing joke about pick n’ mix (it’s an UK thing).
Tortuga Rum Cake – Hancock
I’ll let the movie’s hero speak for himself. Rail Crossing Crowd #2, “I can smell alcohol on your breath!” Hancock, “That's cause I've been drinking, b--!”
Chocolate and Banana Chips - Doctor Who
The Tenth Doctor, David Tennant, is featured in the Blink episode above. In his honor we have Endangered Species chocolate (he’s the last of the Time Lords, after all) and banana chips—his favorites.
There you have it. Have fun. But use your power wisely.
* TV episodes to be delivered digitally through winner’s choice of Amazon or iTunes. Physical items open to US Shipping

Shirin Dubbin is often called a “chic geek,” and she likes the sound of it. Especially since she’s a closet wallflower (albeit one with a fabulous alter ego).When not working in graphic design or hosting The Fantastic Forum—a celebration of comics & speculative fiction—she writes stories inspired by the art, literature, international cinema, and anime she grew up with.
In her own storytelling, Shirin spins tales of sci-fi and urban fantasy with romantic edge. The battle between good and evil, humor, and break neck action are ink to her imagination.
Culturally, she’s half American, half British and very southern; right down to the accent and love of grits. Government reports show a residence in DC, but Shirin lives largely on the astral plane and hopes to meet you there.

Hereh2 things to understand funding an Airbnb land
Leasing your home from Airbnb are a sensible way to generate some more money. In reality, this could also render homeownership less costly.
As mentioned in a report from Earnest, the average Airbnb variety can make regarding $924 on a monthly basis. Thinking about the typical homeloan payment rests around $1,100, thath2 a reasonably big piece of change to generally be attracting.
But buying an Airbnb property is not really exactly like shopping for a whole new home to reside in. Thinking about purchase a house to book on Airbnb? Hereh2 what you must understand funding that pick up.
Conventional personal loans
A traditional financing is a great approach to financing an income-earning assets. These could be used on primary houses, secondly home and finances homes, and they call for initial payment as little as 3percent.
A lot more genuine Home Fanatics
How much cash household how can you afford to get?
Distinctions between between FHA, VA, and USDA mortgages
A homebuyerh2 manual for a competitive housing market
Are 2021 a very good time purchasing a residence?
There certainly is a catch, however. Should you decide to utilize the house as a great investment (you’ll have got to signify so forth the loan product), then you could deal with better rigorous determining obligations. Which may suggest requiring an improved credit score rating, a larger deposit or longer in earnings reserves. The borrowed funds furthermore might accompany an increased interest rate.
A nice perk with standard financial loans is you can nowadays refinance these people using Airbnb lease income to meet the requirements. So in the case you’re effective within short term easy payday loan South Dakota rental ventures in 2012, you’re able to utilize those revenue to refinance next year and acquire a lowered interest.

AC4G is a PC processor cooling and computer noise reduction system. The AC4G is based on solid-state thermo-electric cooling. AC4Gs microprocessor controls the cooling power of the thermo-electric unit to ensure that ice and condensation never form.
Active Cool does not sell directly, only through distributors. Please check with your local computer components distributor, on computer hardware web sites, or on our distributors' list to find out where you can purchase AC4G.
Intel Pentium 4 and AMD Athlon XP.
Each kind of processor has its own socket. So far, AC4G has been designed only for Intel Pentium 4 478-pin, and AMD Athlon XP.
To the best of our knowledge to date, AC4G can work with any motherboard that is compatible with supported processors.
The AC4G consists of a Power and Control Unit and a Cooling Unit. The Power and Control Unit is a PCI card; it comes with a power cable to plug into the electrical network. The Cooling Unit comprises a fan, fan cover, heat sink, thermo-electric unit and cold plate.
AC4G installs in less 90 seconds in any existing case with an empty PCI slot. For best performance the case should have at least one front and one rear case fan.
No, the CPU Fan Connector must be connected to the AC4G Power and Control Unit as described in the AC4G Quick Start Guide and AC4G User's Manual, otherwise the computer will not function properly.
The AC4G will operate correctly with the jumper either in or out. You may experiment to see which mode you prefer. Our recommendation is for AMD XP processors up to 2400+ to start with the jumper in; AMD XP processors 2700+ and above, start with the jumper out. Intel P4 up to 2.53 GHz, start with the jumper in; Intel P4 above 2.53GHz, start with the jumper out.
No. Power to the Cooling Unit is controlled by a microprocessor, which senses the CPU temperature more than 40 times per second. The microprocessor never allows the CPU temperature to reach below 28°C. This prevents condensation, under all circumstances, even in the hottest, most humid climate.
AC4G does not require any maintenance.
AC4G is a engineered package solution for your heat problems. Yes, you can change the fan and get better performance. However, altering the product in any way may damage it, alter its performance, and will void the warranty.
The SubZero4G, the IceAge and the AC4G are all based on Active Cool's technology. Active Cool provides the Power and Control unit and the cooling manufacturers combine it with their own heatsink, fan and cold plate. Each heatsink, fan and cold plate is designed differently, therefore the performance might change significantly. For more information about performance, please refer to the specifics of each of the products.

Jamming by deception
Figure 1: Jamming by deception
Deception uses ECM to forge false target signals that the radar receiver accepts and processes as real targets. The pulse repetition frequency of the false target signals are:
- either unsynchronous to the pulse repetition frequency of the radar
unit and the interfering pulses writes narrow scroll-shaped sectors on the monitor, or
- either synchronous to the pulse repetition frequency of the radar unit or even is derived from the radar units own transmitting impulse. (Repeater Jammer). The impulse sent out to the deception then has another range, another azimuth or another speed than the true aim sign.
See the picture: in azimuth of 135° seven targets appear behind each other. Obviously these are a deception disturbance since they e.g. are wider than it has the own antenna diagram expected.
Such deceptions are unmasked by changing the pulse repetition frequency specifically.

Dint Tread In Me
Originating as a slogan on a famous Revolutionary Battle flag, don’t tread on me is a historical expression of American patriotism. Today, it might be made use of as a much more basic expression of individual liberty and distinctiveness In the 2000s, the phrase ended up being connected with a variety of libertarian-conservative, gun-rights, or far-right political teams as a way to reveal their ideas.
Where does don’t tread on me come from?
Don’t tread on me started on what’s recognized as the Gadsden flag, which features a rattlesnake coiled over the expression on a yellow history. The flag was very first flown on a battleship in 1775 as a fight cry for American independence from British guideline. It’s attributed to Christopher Gadsden, a soldier, and politician from South Carolina.
The snake was a well established icon for America at the time. In the 2000– 10s, don’t tread on me and the broader importance of the Gadsden flag came to be significantly politicized. It was embraced by conservative and libertarian groups, including the Tea Party in 2009 in their system for tiny federal government and lower taxes.
Because some advocates of these teams have actually been charged of bigotry, their movie critics watch the flag and motto as an expression of bigotry. In 2014, for example, a Black United States government employee felt differentiated against by a colleague that put on a hat with the Gadsden imagery. The staff member wrote that Christopher Gadsden was a “slave trader & owner of slaves,” and that his flag had come to be a “historical sign of white animosity against blacks stemming greatly from the Tea Party.”

Like the hairless eagle, part of its importance is that it was one-of-a-kind to the Americas, acting as a means of showing a different identity from the Old Globe. Its use as a sign of the American swarms can be traced back to the magazines of Benjamin Franklin. In 1751, he made the first recommendation to the rattlesnake in a ridiculing discourse released in his Pennsylvania Gazette. It had actually been the plan of Parliament to send founded guilty offenders to the Americas Georgia ), so Franklin recommended that they thank them by sending rattlesnakes to Britain.
In 1754, throughout the French and Indian War, Franklin published his renowned woodcut of a snake cut into 8 areas. It stood for the swarms, with New England signed up with with each other as the head and South Carolina as the tail, following their order along the shore. Under the serpent was the message” Join, or Pass away “. This was the very first political cartoon published in an American paper.

, the traditional version of the First Navy Jack, and the Culpeper Minutemen flag, among others.
Who utilizes don’t tread on me?
The various uses and organizations of don’t tread on me have actually made the expression a packed expression in modern political discourse.
Numerous American civilians, military workers, liberals, and conservatives may use don’t tread on me to share national satisfaction or champ private civil liberties and liberty, dint tread in me. They might additionally fly the Gadsden flag featuring the adage. The expression might appear in a selection of various other imagery or items, from tattoos to decal.
The phrase don’t tread on me is related to a range of main political teams, consisting of the Libertarian Party and Tea Party. Participants of these groups might utilize don’t tread on me (and the #donttreadonme on social media) to share their beliefs, especially regarding small federal government and taxes.
It’s additionally related to gun-rights protestors and supporters of a wide interpretation of the 2nd Modification. They may make use of don’t tread on me in their resistance to weapon control, which they view to be infringing on their constitutional legal rights.
In the 2010s, don’t tread on me likewise became related to the alt-right, that embrace white nationalism. They are attended utilize don’t tread on me to promote a bigoted vision of race and power in America.
Don’t tread on me is referenced somewhere else in culture, as well. Metallica released a track in 1991 called “Don’t Tread on Me,” which plainly featured the expression (and mentioned the Gadsden flag) in its lyrics:
Freedom or Death What we so proudly hail As soon as you prompt her Rattling of her tail Never starts it Never ever, once involved Showing the fangs of rage I unfortunate, “Don’t tread on me” In a 1995 episode of The Simpsons, Bart composes don’t tread on me on his back side, which he flashes at angry Australians after he leaves penalty from their federal government.
In the 2010s, the Gadsden flag-inspired lots of parody memes. One substituted a red Lego for the snake. (Because tipping on Lego, as a number of us recognize so well, hurts!) Another, showing a large foot stepping on the rattlesnake, riffed on the motto: “I specifically requested the opposite of this.” The snek meme has actually likewise inspired some analyses, such as “no step on snek.”
The beginning of a misconception
The flag’s origin isn’t entirely clear. It appears to begin with an easy illustration coming with an essay by Benjamin Franklin in 1754, 20 years prior to American independence.
Later, as the American Revolution formed, the photo tackled a brand-new meaning. Colonists hoisted various flags, consisting of ones portraying rattlesnakes, a noticeably American animal believed to strike just in protection. The flag frequently referred to as the “Very First Navy Jack” had 13 red and white red stripes, and possibly a lumber rattlesnake with 13 rattles, over words “Don’t Tread On Me.”
A flag revealing a layout perhaps used by the very early U.S. Navy.
In 1775, as the American Change began, South Carolina politician Christopher Gadsden broadened on Franklin’s suggestion, and perhaps the red-and-white flag also, dint tread in me when he created the yellow flag with a coiled rattler and the very same expression: “Don’t Tread On Me.” Gadsden was a servant owner and trader, that constructed Gadsden’s Dock in Charleston, South Carolina, which was a significant slave-trading site.
As numerous as 40% of enslaved Africans who were given the U.S. very first gotten here there. The site is slated to be the residence of the Global African American Museum, which approximates that 150,000 captured Africans came via the dock which between 60% and 80% these days’s African Americans can map an ancestor to the profession there.
In 2015, a demonstrator held up the Gadsden flag to object a go to by Head of state Barack Obama.
An icon awoken
For a lot of UNITED STATE background, this flag was almost failed to remember, though it had some cachet in libertarian circles.
The First Navy Jack variation resurfaced in 1976 on U.S. Navy ships to celebrate the country’s bicentennial, and again after 9/11, though today that flag is scheduled for the longest active-status warship. Its usage stayed mostly apolitical.
In 2006 the slogan and the curled serpent saw some commercial use by Nike Philadelphia Union, a Major Organization Soccer group.
Around the very same time, though, the flag took on a new political definition tea party, a hard-line Republican anti-tax activity, started utilizing it. The ramification was that the UNITED STATE federal government had actually become the oppressor intimidating the liberties of its very own citizens.
A post-election objection in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Nov. 5 consists of a screen of the Gadsden flag.
Probably as a result of the tea party activity, a number of state federal governments around the country provide a Gadsden flag certificate plate style. At the very least several of those plates bill extra costs for the special plate, sending out earnings to not-for-profit companies The Gadsden flag has appeared at various other political demonstrations, also, such as those opposing constraints on weapon ownership and objecting to rules imposed in 2020 to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Most just recently the flag has actually been flown and presented at some post-election demonstrations, consisting of occasions where demonstrators required authorities to stop counting ballots– and both inside and outside the Capitol in Washington, D.C., throughout the checking of the selecting ballots on Jan. 6.
Because of its creator’s history and since it is commonly flown alongside “Trump 2020” flags, the Confederate battle flag, and various other white supremacist flags, some may currently see the Gadsden flag as a sign of intolerance and hate also bigotry. If so, its initial meaning is after that for life lost, however one theme stays.
At its core, the flag is an easy warning– however to whom, and from whom, has actually plainly changed. Gone is the initial intent to unite the states to eliminate an outside oppressor. Instead, for those that fly it today, the federal government is the oppressor.
Editor’s note: This post was updated on Jan. 7, 2021, to consist of additional info regarding Christopher Gadsden, the flag’s original developer, dint tread in me.
Flags Gadsden flag US Capitol US Capitol assault
Dont tread on me, those words and the image of a coiled rattlesnake are making a comeback on posters, Tees and the majority of plainly on bright yellow flags, as Tea Party militants have actually made it their symbol. This weekend, some Republican participants of Congress participated, swing the flag and hanging it off the Capitol veranda over the supporting group.
We wished to find out more concerning the origins of the flag and the meaning behind it. And for that, we’re joined by Teacher Joseph Ellis, that educates American history at Mount Holyoke University. Welcome to the program.
Prof. ELLIS: We can trace it back to 1775. When the Continental Congress was commissioning some privateers with Marines posted on the ships and the South Carolina delegate to the Congress names Christopher Gadsden created and suggested this flag, a yellow flag with the rattlesnake and words don’t tread on me under is as the flag for the flagship, which I assume was called the Alfred. Therefore it’s taken place to come to be the seal of the Marine Corps, too, yet it has its origins right at approximately the very same time as the Tea Party.
