The Joyful Quiet of Freedom
Once, during my third year of university, I had the following dream: I was playing baseball in the parking lot of my childhood church with a group of youngsters whom I had known through junior high school, but had not seen for years. It was late at night, and oddly silent, but despite the darkness our game seemed to be carrying on without impediment. Even aside from the strange Catholicism and quiet darkness of the setting, however, this game was unlike any in which I had actually participated as a boy. Absent were my fears of playing poorly, the awkward interactions with those among the players whom I did not know well, the uncomfortable arguments and instant animosities that inevitably interrupt such games, the threatening arrival of rival groups of youths, and the unavoidable boredom that finally overtakes even the best of such real events, leaving everyone straining too hard to extend an enthusiasm that has in fact dwindled away to emptiness. In this dream game, all that remained of my real youth were the familiarity of some of the faces present, and the recognizable location.
When I awoke from this dream, shortly before sunrise, my immediate sensation was a level of peacefulness that I should not even attempt to define. All the noise in my soul had been hushed, leaving only the happy silence, the silence of uninterruptedness. Within minutes, however, light began to enter through my bedroom window, and the dream’s afterglow quickly melted away. I willed the sun to disappear, held a pillow over my eyes, anything to revive the feeling of that baseball game. The intense desire to return to the dream—the feeling of nostalgia—was a response to the reinsertion of sound into the joyful quiet of freedom.
In what, I ask, did this blessed silence consist? Not in the baseball game itself. Not in returning to the company of old friends. Certainly not in the memory of an enchanted period of my life, which my youth decidedly was not.
My only explanation is this: Though upon first awakening from the dream I could naturally recall many of its images and identify many of the youngsters who appeared in it, over time only one image has remained clear to my memory, and retained some of the emotional intimations that the dream produced on that initial morning. The baseball is rolling along the pavement, and I am following it. It is not clear whether I am chasing it in haste, or merely retrieving it in a leisurely fashion. This much, however, is certain: The ball is rolling away from the other players, which means that in pursuing it, I too am moving away from them. None of them remain in view. All I can see is the bright ball moving away against the black background of the unlit parking lot. It is this image alone that still allows me, after all these years, to revisit the special bliss of that dream, which I have called the joyful quiet of freedom.
The joyful quiet, then, involved my awareness of moving away from the other players, and out into the lonely darkness. This, however, is an oversimplification. For the pleasure of that moment consisted not only in drifting off in pursuit of the ball, but also in being an accepted or unquestioned participant in the game. My joy, then, entailed departing from the others into my own unshared delight, while at the same time remaining actively engaged in their play, even if only on the periphery. (During my youth, just as in my dream, I always wished to play in the outfield, perhaps because an outfielder is positioned at a distance from the center of the action, without actually being excluded from play altogether.)
To be unconditionally accepted while remaining privately aloof—the life of an agnostic who has been declared a saint—this was the peace to which the dream had transported me, and to which, upon awakening, I had yearned to return. The further I moved from the others in pursuit of the ball, the more intense was my happiness, as though I were tied to the game with a rubber band, and were daring myself, with an ever-growing secret thrill, to stretch the band as far as I could without snapping it.
Why did I have that particular dream at that particular time in my life? When you can answer this question, you will have uncovered the true nature of nostalgia.
Perhaps this is as good a place as any to add a poem by Stevie Smith — the British poetess most famous for her excellent “Not Waving, but Drowning” — which, while approaching the matter from a different angle, appeals to the mind of the person who dreamt the dream described above.
In My Dreams
by Stevie Smith
In my dreams I am always saying goodbye and riding away,
Whither and why I know not nor do I care.
And the parting is sweet and the parting over is sweeter,
And sweetest of all is the night and the rushing air.
In my dreams they are always waving their hands and saying goodbye,
And they give me the stirrup cup and I smile as I drink,
I am glad the journey is set, I am glad I am going,
I am glad, I am glad, that my friends don’t know what I think.


The ninth Civic Service was held in Canterbury Cathedral and was attended by Civic Leaders of Kent, Chairmen of Parish Councils, The Clergy, Magistrates, Armed Forces representatives, Police, Emergency Services and a multitude of individuals from a cross-section of voluntary organisations, working for the public good.
The Lord-Lieutenant said “On behalf of Her Majesty I thank you all for what you are doing for Kent’s communities. You are doing Kent proud”.
The congregation of about 840 demonstrated the event’s continuing popularity and enduring support that there is for the county of Kent.
The Lord-Lieutenant gave an address in which he outlined the Lieutenancy’s plans to commemorate the centenary of the start of the First World War. The events which are being specifically promoted are:
Monday 4th August.
- The Opening of the New Step Short Association Arch on the Lees in Folkestone, which will be a national commemoration starting about 12 noon and will be televised following the Service of Thanksgiving in Glasgow, attended by The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh.
- The vigil in Canterbury and Rochester Cathedrals with the extinguishing of candles in the hours running up to 11pm when the ultimatum to Germany expired.
Monday 22nd September
- The opening of the re-modelled Garden of Remembrance in Tonbridge.
- The Commemoration of the sinking of 3 Cruisers in the North Sea by a single German submarine U9 with a loss of 1459 lives, which will take place at Chatham Historic Dockyard.
The Lord-Lieutenant is aware there are many other events being planned and hopes if appropriate, a member of the Lieutenancy will be asked to attend. The Civic Service was sponsored by The Allan Willett Foundation.

Domestic Rental Sector
Minimum level of energy efficiency changes to the regime
The Government have published their response to the consultation on proposals to amend The Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) (England and Wales) Regulations 2015. These Regulations prohibit the letting of domestic property which has an EPC rating in Band F or G after 1st April 2018, or the continued letting of such property after 1st April 2020.
Landlords may apply for an exemption to allow the letting of a Band F or G property in a number of situations, including where the improvements cannot be funded by a third party, due to the regulations being predicated on the availability of Green Deal funding. Under the current Regulations, Landlords were not expected to fund energy efficiency improvements themselves.
The Government recognised that this position was unsustainable, because with the collapse of the Green Deal there was no incentive for Landlords to carry out any works. It was therefore proposed, in a consultation which opened in December 2017, to introduce a Landlord’s cap so that Landlords would have to contribute up to £2,500 per property to make energy efficiency improvements.
The Government response to that consultation has now been published and the key change is that the cap amount has been increased to £3,500 per property. In summary the following changes are to be introduced:
• Removal of the current ‘no cost to the landlord’ provision, and curtail existing ‘no cost’ exemptions so that they will end on a planned date of April 2020.
• Make Landlords liable for a financial contribution capped at £3,500, towards the cost of energy efficiency improvements required to meet the MEES Regulations
• Included within the cap are:
o Any investment in energy efficiency made since October 2017
o Any available third-party funding, including Green Deal finance and local authority grant funding
• Establish the availability of a new ‘high cost’ exemption, where a substandard property cannot be improved to E for £3,500 or less. In cases where the Landlord is registering such a ‘high cost’ exemption, submission of three installer quotes will be required
• Remove the consent exemption where a tenant has withheld consent to a Green Deal finance plan
• Upon enactment, the amended Regulations will apply upon the granting of:
o a new tenancy to a new tenant, and
o a new tenancy to an existing tenant.
• From 2020, the amended regulations will apply to all privately rented property in the scope of the Regulations, in line with the existing regulatory ‘backstop’ date.
The Government intends to lay the amending Regulations before Parliament as soon as possible, with the expectation that the amendments will come into effect during 2019.

Danika Mason: Wedding venue’s mad scramble after Channel Nine star called off the ceremony just FOUR weeks out – as details emerge about celebrity guest list
Danika Mason: The mad battle at the wedding venue after the Channel Nine star called off the ceremony just FOUR weeks ago – as details emerge about celebrity guest list
It had all the ingredients for a dream wedding: an idyllic vineyard, famous guests and even a celebrant plucked from TV.
But Channel Nine sports presenter Danika Mason left her hand-picked venue having called off her wedding to gym rat fiance Todd Liubinskas just weeks before the big day.
The Greystone Estate in the NSW Hunter Valley – where Mason and Liubinskas were due to marry on October 27 – uploaded a frantic plea on Wednesday after the highly anticipated wedding was suddenly cancelled.
A post on the venue’s official Instagram account read: ‘A rare opportunity has become available to celebrate your wedding at Greystone Estate – with 50% off!’
A spokesperson for the venue confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that the vineyard – which sits on 10 acres along an olive tree-lined driveway and is “specifically designed to host lavish events” – had an unexpected cancellation. Sources confirmed this was the couple’s chosen location.
The wedding’s last-minute cancellation undoubtedly came as a surprise to many of the couple’s celebrity guests.
Set on 10 acres along an olive tree-lined driveway, Greystone Estate is centrally located in the iconic Hunter Valley and would be the scene of a dream wedding.
Danika Mason and Todd Liubinskas have been engaged for two years. Todd popped the question in July 2021
The venue uploaded this frantic ‘50% off’ post on Tuesday afternoon after announcing a ‘last minute cancellation’ on the weekend of the couple’s wedding
Sportscaster colleagues James Bracey and Clint Stanaway were expected to attend, plus Liubinskas’ close friend and 440 Run Club co-founder Trent Knox.
The Sunday Footy host was due to marry Liubinskas, 40, but was forced to cancel the event for five weeks for reasons not yet made public by the former couple.
The wedding was to be officiated by Seven News reporter and wedding celebrant Grace Fitzgibbon, the daughter of retired federal Labor MP Joel Fitzgibbon.
The couple was engaged for two years after Liubinskas popped the question in July 2021.
Mason remained tight-lipped when contacted by Daily Mail Australia this week.
She subsequently confirmed the news of her split in a series of public appearances without her wedding ring.
Mason hosted the Sunday Footy Show this weekend, covering the Broncos vs Warriors preliminary final. She stood on the sidelines with her large diamond engagement ring conspicuously absent from her left hand.
Another of Liubinskas’ ex-girlfriends – who dated him for seven years before he started dating Mason – offered Mason a message of support.

The striking Air Pavilion is a highlight of Greystone Estate
Mason seemed dejected at her first sighting since the news broke
“I can only hope that Danika isn’t as blindsided as I was, or has experienced something similar,” the ex, who asked not to be named, told Daily Mail Australia.
“My heart goes out to her if she was.”
According to an insider, Liubinskas has accepted Mason’s decision to part ways. He stayed with his parents.
According to a Hunter Valley Wedding Concierge website, two wedding packages are offered at Greystone Estate at a rate of $20,300 or $15,200, excluding food and drinks.
Mason seemed dejected at her first sighting since the news broke on Tuesday. She subsequently withdrew from a planned media event.
Liubinskas looked glum as he was stuck in traffic in Sydney on Tuesday

Gmail 4.2.1 Update Out For Android 4.0 And Later
Remember that huge upgrade to Gmail for Android we wrote about last month? Looks like Google was merely putting the finishing touches on the app before releasing it to everyone. While the big new features — pinch-to-zoom and swipe-to-archive — only work on devices running Ice Cream Sandwich and above, it looks like all Android devices received the requisite performance improvements and bug fixes.
Smaller changes to the Gmail app include removing the message text size option (because pinch to zoom is now present), contextual unread counts for each label (as opposed to just the inbox), and a permanent anchor for the “inbox” label on the drop-down menu at the top of the app. Oh, and praise all that is holy: attachments are back where they belong – at the bottom of the message.
Head to the Play Store to grab the latest version of Gmail now. And remember, this is only for Android 4.0 devices! You can also check out this post by the Gmail team on Google+ to learn more about the new update.


Kick-off is at 6pm and the game will be streamed live via our twitch channel.
Tonight's encounter is must-not-lose for both players after opening day defeats. A late goal saw David suffer a 3-2 reverse on Sunday night at the hands of Southampton's Che Adams while midfielder Pett lost by the same scoreline to Crawley Town's Ricardo De-Niro German 24 hours later.
David's opening match against The Saints was a see-saw affair with four quickfire goals late in the first-half sending the two teams in level; Josh Dasilva and Ollie Watkins on target for The Bees. After the break both sides had chances but the game was settled inside the final 15 minutes as Nathan Redmond converted from close range.
With only the top two going through there's not much room for error left for either player.
The STAY INtertoto Cup is open only to professional footballers, each representing their own Club in the 64 team tournament.
As well as filling the football void, the tournament is also raising money for the NHS Charities Together which is supporting staff and volunteers caring for COVID-19 patients.


The University of Findlay Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble will present “Santa’s Journey” during its 32nd annual Christmas Concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 2, in the Van Buren High School auditorium.
Tickets are free, however, tickets to reserve seating are required. Contact the UF box office at 419-434-5335.
Under the direction of Jack Taylor, professor of music and director of bands, the bands will explore holiday sounds from Ireland, England, France, Spain, Russia and the United States.
Featured flute soloist, Elizabeth Baker, senior psychology major, will perform “Allegro” from Mozart’s G Major Concerto with the Wind Ensemble. Baker is a UF Instrumental Music Concerto Competition winner.
Marie Louden-Hanes, Ph.D., special assistant to the president, will narrate the concert. Harp interludes will be provided by Nancy Glick, harp and piano instructor.

Adaptive architecture, an implementation with game theory. Emotional input and pneumatically driven actuator
MetadataShow full item record
In the active context of adaptive architecture, this proposal tackles the field of Human Building Interaction. Indeed, material would no longer be inert but activated by the users, programmable and equipped with memory. The information chain penetrating each component of the house forms a field of globalities. On the one hand, in line with the under development of smart materials, giving intelligence to previously passive materials, we consider the pneumatically driven actuator material as soft robot and programmable and on the other hand, we implement swarm communications with means of innovative IT elements. Since the elements of the smart material are interdependent, we consider a novel approach of modeling their interactions, using tools from the vast field of game theory. The digital information travels gradually through the physical material. In a technical point of view, first, we expect that a pneumatic cells network could be considered as a Human Building Interaction. HBI could operate using both remote and haptic information, one constituted by emotional records, the other reacting to the physical contact. We focus on the emotional implementation and the haptic inputs, within a pneumatic cells network actuator. We considered both, inhabitant emotion and kinesthetic communication as inputs and we implemented pneumatically driven actuators. The pneumatic cells network is used as a soft changing interface, a dynamic architecture that links the building with the inhabitants, an architectural apparatus that supports an active process in a changing way. A program that can be described as a multi-player game addresses the pneumatic cells network.

For this annual event, the institution-wide efforts are made to organize a wide variety of events so that the local communities can feel more familiarity with RIHN. The activities of FEAST Project included card game and video game to explore the ideal future of Kyoto food, voting for “what is important for the future of food in Kyoto?” and word cloud for “what is bad food to you?.”
Two games were originally developed for FEAST gaming workshops “Future visions of food in Kyoto” (Please see the details of workshops from here!). Two rounds of card game were carried out for 4th grade elementary school students and over. Each participant chose one actor in Kyoto’s food system to role-play and participated in an imaginary “Future of Food Conference” to develop various suggestions for the ideal vision of Kyoto food. With their creativity stimulated, the participants chose to be such food system actors as Kyoto City Mayor, Prime Minister, Udon noodle shop owner, game developer, researcher, fisherman, supermarket owner, nutritionist and the like. Then, based on the results of questionnaire to show the food related topics that they were most interested in, Round 1 dealt with how to improve school lunch and Round 2, the linkage between food and agriculture. The following is the outputs that came about from discussions.
Round 1: How to improve school lunch
- To provide more drink options such as tea and juice for kids who do not like milk.
- To collect leftovers and distribute them to Kyoto citizens in need.
- To include more locally produced vegetables such as Kyo Yasai (Kyoto vegetables).
Round 2: Linkage between food and agriculture
- To provide more accurate meteorological information to farmers by increasing the number of meteorological observing stations.
- To improve FEAST video game “Lets Kyoto.”
- To recycle leftovers from shops and restaurants by properly processing them.
- To research and develop food processing techniques in order to reduce waste.
- To raise awareness of the Kyoto citizens by making a TV commercial in collaboration with those who are participating in this conference.
Video game “Lets Kyoto,” which was developed by the game design major students in the Netherlands, enables the players to experience a flow of food system by role-playing one of six food system actors as follows: farmer, local restaurant owner, supermarket owner, fast food restaurant owner, low income consumer and high income consumer. This game, then, gives the players an opportunity to think how a choice each actor makes influences other actors with a fun twist. Once all the players complete their turns, three food-related policy options pop up on the screen, for one of which needs to be adopted unanimously so as to make the future of food in Kyoto better. A video game is a familiar tool for elementary schoolers after all, they let out a cheer the whole time.
In addition to these games, the participants also voted for “What is important for the future of food in Kyoto?.” They were requested to vote for three items out of 15 (School lunch, decline of agriculture, culinary traditions, social cohesion, children’s poverty, agricultural traditions, soil/water pollution, organic food, self-sufficiency, small-scale agriculture, food education, local production, food safety/security, urban-rural linking, climate change (global warming)). With nearly 300 people’s votes, food safety/security received the most number of votes for both adults and children, followed by local production and soil/water pollution for adults and school lunch and culinary traditions for children. Please refer to the graph for more details.
Lastly, as for word cloud, the theme for this year was “what is bad food to you?” in comparison to last year’s “what is good food to you?.” Some wrote down foods that they dislike such as eggplant and prawn, while others came up with foods linked to food safety including “unseasonable vegetables” and “produces that kill many living matters” and foods that surface social meanings of food including “food that you eat alone,” “food produced in an automatic manner without any thoughtfulness for consumers.”
One of the objectives that FEAST works towards is to collaborate with stakeholders to explore the ideal future of food and agriculture, and facilitate agrifood system transition via an action-research approach. Despite “food” being an inextricable part of our daily life, the globalized distribution system of food made it lay far from us, thus somehow invisible. Hopefully, this event granted the participants one of opportunities to think about food that is close to, but far from us, in a fun way. FEAST HQ members inversely learnt that so many people were interested in food as they came by to our event and explored about food together from various standpoints, which definitely determined us to continue our research activities to transform these interests into actual practices. Last but far from least, thank you once again to everyone who dropped by to join us! Looking forward to seeing you next year!

The NYPD are asking for the public’s help identifying a woman, who allegedly accosted a Brooklyn dad and his 18-month-old son at a playground on Nov. 7, throwing her cellphone and a cup of hot coffee at them and allegedly asking if they were “terrorists.”
The NYPD confirmed to PEOPLE the investigation was ongoing.
The 40-year-old victim, who has been revealed to be Ashish Prashar, was wearing a black and white Palestinian scarf known as a keffiyeh at the time. He filmed the incident, later posting it to social media. It is still unknown if anything prompted the incident, but Prashar can be heard saying “I’m wearing a scarf and apparently I’m getting attacked because I’m a terrorist.”
An unseen witness can be overheard saying, “I’m sorry that happened to you.”
According to a statement released by the NYPD, it was reported to police that “On Monday, November 7, 2023, at approximately 12:30, the 40-year-old-male victim was in Edmonds Playground, in the vicinity of 196 DeKalb Avenue, when he was approached by an unknown female who allegedly made anti-Islamic statements.
The unknown female proceeded to throw her cellphone along with a hot cup of coffee at him. The victim was not injured during this incident.”
The playground is connected to public Middle School 113 Ronald Edmonds Learning Center, and two other elementary schools are also co-located in the building. None of those children were known to have witnessed the event, though hate crime posters were seen on lamp posts and trees surrounding the playground in the following days.
Prashar later asked supporters on Instagram to let the NYPD do their job, instead of trying to track down the perpetrator on the Internet.
“Don’t take this in your own hands,” he wrote. “We have never asked for that and we do not want that. This is not vigilante justice. The only way forward is to have the detectives do their job.”
According to the New York Times, hate crimes are on the rise in the city, with a 200% rise in anti-semitic crimes since the Hamas-Israel war broke out. Of the 101 bias incidents in the city last month, 69 of them were directed at the Jewish community.
A local Brooklyn parent told PEOPLE, “It’s sad that any of this is happening. This corner of the world has always felt like a safe space for people of all backgrounds to cohabitate peacefully. Hatred against others because of their beliefs or backgrounds really goes against everything we teach our kids around here. We won’t let one incident stop us from encouraging love for one another.”
The Times also wrote that “earlier in the week, New York lawmakers introduced a bill expanding the range of offenses that can be prosecuted as hate crimes and closing loopholes in existing laws. The legislation responds to what State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal called “an unprecedented rise in bias-motivated crimes against Jewish, Muslim, Asian American and L.G.B.T.Q. people.””
The individual at large in the playground attack is described as a female, with a light complexion and small build. She was last seen wearing a black and white baseball hat, black sunglasses, gray scarf, black zip-up jacket, black fanny pack, black sweatpants, and white sneakers.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/, on Twitter @NYPDTips.

Kobe Bryant says he’ll retire after this season
Updated 11:21 pm, Sunday, November 29, 2015
Bryant, 37, made the announcement in a post on the Players’ Tribune on Sunday. The third-leading scorer in NBA history wrote a poem titled “Dear Basketball” to announce his decision.
“My heart can take the pounding. My mind can handle the grind. But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye,” Bryant wrote. “And that’s OK. I’m ready to let you go. I want you to know now. So we both can savor every moment we have left together. The good and the bad. We have given each other all that we have.”
Bryant went from high school in suburban Philadelphia to the Lakers in 1996, and he earned five championship rings and 17 All-Star selections in two decades with the franchise — the longest tenure with one team in NBA history. Bryant also won two Olympic gold medals.
“I never thought that he’d ever retire,” Memphis guard Mike Conley said. “He seemed like he would play forever. Obviously, he’s one of the greatest to ever do it. It’s hard to see him go, of all people, because he’s been etched in the NBA for so long, since I was little. A guy you really look up to, and you just wish him the best going forward in the future.”
Bryant’s last three seasons have ended early because of injuries, and he played in only 41 games over the previous two seasons. He has struggled mightily in the first 16 games of this season with mostly young teammates on a rebuilding roster, making a career-worst 30.5 percent of his shots and dealing with pain and exhaustion every day.
“He’s won five championships, so no one feels bad for him from that standpoint,” Miami’s Dwyane Wade said. “But from a standpoint of seeing one of this era’s greatest players go out in a rebuilding process, it’s tough.”
“What you’ve done for me is far greater than anything I’ve done for you,” Bryant wrote. “I knew that each minute of each game I wore purple and gold. I honor it as I play today and for the rest of this season. My love for this city, this team and for each of you will never fade. Thank you for this incredible journey.”
In recent months, Bryant repeatedly said he didn’t know whether he would play another season, clearly hoping for a rebound in his health and the Lakers’ play.
Neither has happened, and the ever-impatient guard didn’t wait any longer to decide his future.
“Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest players in the history of our game,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said. “Whether competing in the Finals or hoisting jump shots after midnight in an empty gym, Kobe has an unconditional love for the game. I join Kobe’s millions of fans around the world in congratulating him on an outstanding NBA career and thank him for so many thrilling memories.”
Even during his late-career struggles with the floundering Lakers, Bryant’s fans have remained devoted to the 6-foot-6 guard who won titles alongside Shaquille O’Neal in 2000, 2001 and 2002 before teaming with Pau Gasol for two more in 2009 and 2010. Only 13 players in league history played on more championship teams than Bryant.
And even with the Lakers likely to miss the playoffs for the third straight season — a first in franchise history — Bryant intends to keep going. He scored 13 points in 33 minutes Sunday after playing 34 minutes at Portland on Saturday night.
“He kind of shocked me when he told me,” said Lakers head coach Byron Scott, Bryant’s teammate for the 1996-97 season. “I’m just sad, more than anything. He’s somebody who I truly care about and have a lot of respect for. It’s always hard when greatness like Kobe decides to hang it up. ... I thought he probably had at least another year, but this year isn’t over. We’ve still got a lot of games left, so I know his purpose is to finish out the season.”
Bryant is the NBA’s highest-paid player this season at $25 million.
Bryant’s presence guarantees big crowds wherever the Lakers play. He has been tirelessly devoted to the franchise, repeatedly declaring he would not play for another NBA team.
Bryant’s departure will allow the Lakers to split between the past and the future, with young prospects Julius Randle, D’Angelo Russell and Jordan Clarkson taking on leading roles rather than deferring to their teammate.
Bryant repeatedly declared that he didn’t want a farewell tour in the style of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Derek Jeter, his friend and the Players’ Tribune founder. Yet the Lakers’ eight-game trip beginning Tuesday is almost certain to begin a prolonged goodbye to Bryant.
“Hope (Bryant) receives (a) standing ovation in every city!” Sacramento’s Caron Butler posted on his social-media accounts. “One of the best to ever do it.”

Yesterday on November 10th, a Nubian Message staff writer found a white supremacist flyer in one of our newsstands. The websites listed on the flyer used derogatory language to describe black, Muslim and Jewish people. The flyers were posted around campus prior to them appearing in our newsstand but to whoever felt it necessary to put the flyer in our newsstand: I received your message, now here is mine.
The Nubian Message staff is full of some of the hardest working people I know. We do our best to provide a voice to marginalized groups and provide the NC State community with good journalism. We do all of this while still being full time students and being involved in a host of other things. I’m overprotective of my staff because they are my family and I’m aware of the sacrifices they make to provide this university with great content.
I am not sorry that our journalism offends you. I will not apologize for our quality coverage of the diverse perspectives of our campus community. While we still have a long way to go, we make an effort to be intersectional and inclusive. If you cannot see that effort, I dare say you are the one being exclusive and hateful not “the media.” We have stories to tell and we will continue doing so. If you have a problem with that, then so be it. However, it’s imperative that you know we are a part of a community and we won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.


Motor applications often involve loads that fluctuate rapidly, requiring little power one second and a lot of power the next. Although it would seem reasonable to size the motor for the worst portion of the load cycle, analysis usually shows that a smaller, less expensive motor can do the same job just as reliably and more efficiently.
Motors, as long as they have time to cool, can periodically exert short bursts of power beyond their normal load rating. One sizing method that takes this into account is the rms (root mean square) horsepower loading technique.
To apply the method, simply find the rms horsepower of the load cycle. Any ac motor rated beyond this level will work, provided it has enough pullout torque TPO (lb-ft) to keep it from stalling.
Questions & answers
Q: Are there limitations?
A: The rms horsepower loading method works only for duty cycles less than five minutes.
Q: Does the method apply to servomotors and adjustable-speed drives?
A: It works if you use armature current (servomotors) or required torque (adjustablespeed drives) instead of horsepower – provided that the controller can handle peak as well as rms current.
Q: What if the duty cycle is greater than five minutes?
A: There may still be a way to economize, but you need to consult the motor manufacturer.

Before Juggy D, Akhil Sachdeva and his band ‘Nasha’ welcomed all the guests with their soothing Sufi performance.


Weishuhn on Hunting, Single-Shot Rifles
“Single shot rifle is really a misnomer! Hunting with a single-shot doesn’t mean you can only shoot one time. Just like any other hunting rifle action, it simply means making the first shot count, which is what we should do no matter how fast a second shot can be fired or how many rounds you have as backup in your magazine or cartridge belt or pocket or backpack.” I was responding to a question from someone in the back of the audience while giving a presentation on hunting, pursuing animals from whitetails to Cape buffalo.
“I shot my first Cape buffalo with a .416 Rigby single-shot, using Hornady ammo.” I continued. “But in split second I had removed the spent case and replaced it with a fresh round, this after a lot of practice. Months before going I shot my single-shot a lot. I also taught myself to quickly reload, and eventually reduced reloading time so I could do it as quickly as someone could cycle the bolt on a bolt action. I did it automatically, rather than think about what I was doing. Reloading the single-shot simply became second nature, muscle memory if you will.” I continued to tell the crowd that with dedication and practice anyone could do the same.
I wrote an article about my single-shot Cape buffalo hunt for SPORTS AFIELD. One of the “letters to the editor” essentially called me an idiot for using a single-shot on dangerous game. I guess he forgot how many buffalo, elephant and other dangerous game had been taken back when explorers and hunters only had single-shot rifles and especially muzzleloaders, which took considerably longer to reload than breech loading rifles. In doing some research I learned my “accuser” had never shot anything larger than a couple of whitetail does.
Why would someone want to shoot a single-shot at dangerous game, or for that matter any game animal? With me I love the challenge of hunting with such a firearm. I grew up shooting single-shot .22s and single-shot shotguns. I learned to make the first shot count. I learned not to pull the trigger unless I was certain I could make a killing shot.
I have often stated I am a “long range shooter”, but not a “long range hunter”. I love shooting at paper and steel at extremely long ranges. But when it comes to hunting I want to get as close to the animal as possible before pulling the trigger… that to me is “real hunting”. Shooting at critters a long way away, is just that shooting!
For the past many years I have been a huge fan of the Ruger Number 1. I am fortunate to have hunted with numerous different calibers in this single-shot and proud to say I own several, although not nearly as many as I would like to! That said hopefully there are numerous Number 1 still in my future.
I love the sleek lines of the Ruger Number 1, many of which have very attractive wood. I like blued steel and wood guns, although I use many Ruger bolt actions that are stainless and stocked with synthetics.
When it comes to Ruger Number 1s, I love the older rounds such as the .275 Rigby, .300 H&H Mag, .405 Winchester and .450/400 NE 3”. With these I’ve taken a variety of game both in North America and Africa.
This immediate past hunting season I used my .275 Rigby primarily on whitetail deer shooting Hornady’s 140-grain SP ammo. With it I took, with one shot, some impressive whitetails at distances out to about 120 yards. I also used it on wild hogs including one that bottomed-out a 300-pound scale. This is a rifle I am seriously thinking of taking to Africa this coming year to hunt sable and other plains game. I might even use it hunting leopard. Hopefully during the next month I’ll be able to get some of Hornady’s ELD-X bullets and work up a load that would do well on leopard. The late John Wootters, long one the finest outdoor writers in the world and one of my mentors and heroes, used a Ruger Number 1 in .45-70 for his leopard.
Why the Number 1 on leopard? In most all instances when hunting leopard, I am told the shooter almost never gets more than one shot before the leopard is gone, so the normal quick follow-up shot is non-existent. But what of accuracy? My Ruger Number 1s, all will shoot with Hornady ammo 1-inch or less (mostly all less) groups at 100 yards. So, they are more than sufficiently accurate.
And as I have mentioned I dearly love the looks of Ruger Number 1s!
A couple of years ago I “borrowed” a .450-400 NE 3” Number 1 from Lee Newton, a truly serious collector of Ruger Number 1 rifles, and to me the world’s greatest authority on them. The “borrowed” rifle loaded with Hornady’s 400-grain DGX (expandable) and DGS (solid) at 75 yards essentially put any shots I fired from a good solid rest into the same hole. Shooting from “sticks” I tended to shoot one-inch or less groups. During a hunt in Namibia, I used the Number 1 to shoot an impala at 75 yards. Having done so, I then moved on to hunting hippo. Several days into the hunt, we stalked to within less than twelve yards of a huge bull hippo on land. I shot him below and behind the ear, having spent considerable time looking at anatomy charts. The ancient and huge bull simply fell to the ground. No sooner had he started to fall straight down, I reloaded and shot him a second time and then again a third time.
Once the hippo was down, one of the trackers who had stayed with the boat walked up and asked to inspect my rifle. I proudly handed it to him. He looked it over carefully as if to see if he could find a bolt or other mechanism where by I quickly reloaded. Not finding any such, he asked my PH in his native dialect, how I had shot three shots so quickly. He was convinced there was no way anyone could shoot a single-shot so rapidly! I simply smiled.
Years ago when I worked as a wildlife biologist taking care of numerous ranches where we specialized in whitetail deer hunting, and where I often served as a guide, I used to love seeing hunters arrive in camp with a single-shot rifle. Experience told me they tended to shoot more accurately than those who came to hunt with other rifle actions. I was never wrong. Those who hunted with a single-shots, precisely placed bullets into the deer’s vital with their first shot. The other things I judged hunters by, beyond what rifle action they hunted with was the length of the knife at there side. The longer the blade a hunter carried, the less hunting experience he or she had. The shorter the blade of the knife, the more experience they had!
When it comes to hunting rifles, of course I use bolt action rifles quite often and I do like them. But, I do not own any semi-auto rifles, other than two Ruger 10-22s. Way back in my gun safe there are four lever actions, one belonged to my father and another was owned by my father-in-law. Both those are Winchester Model 94s, one in .30 WCF and the other a .30-30 Win (both the exact same round). I also own a couple of Marlin lever actions, one a .45-70 and the other a .444 Marlin. These latter two are from my days as the Hunting Editor for Shooting Times. If ever I retire, and I have no plans of doing so, I will go to hunting with Ruger Number 1s exclusively.
I’m currently planning hunts our 2018 show season for “DSC’s Trailing the Hunter’s Moon”, which appears on Sportsman Channel. I’m also planning the different Ruger rifles Blake and I be using. I would love to hear from you as to whether or not you think I should do several hunts with Ruger Number 1’s. What do you think?

A Chicago suburban arena that hosts basketball and many other sports and events has been given a rebrand that includes a new naming rights sponsor.
The former Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, will be renamed NOW Arena after a new naming rights deal that will last 15 years. The $11.25 million deal was reached by the Village of Hoffman Estates and NOW Health Group, a natural products manufacturer in Bloomingdale, Illinois.
“As a company that values family and community first, this partnership couldn’t be a better fit,” said Jim Emme, chief executive officer of NOW Health Group, Inc. “We’re excited to support the neighboring Village of Hoffman Estates and families from the surrounding communities and beyond. The NOW Arena will continue to be a resource for them to enjoy family-friendly entertainment, high school graduations, concerts and sporting events, while also providing them with opportunities to learn more about healthy products they can feel good about.”
The arena can seat up to 11,800 spectators with 43 luxury suites on two levels. The venue since 2016 has been the home for the Windy City Bulls, a G League affiliate for the Chicago Bulls, and also hosted a 2014 Davis Cup tie and the USA Gymnastics’ U.S. Classic event from 2013–2017.
“I am excited to welcome NOW Health Group as the new naming rights partner of the arena. There is a lot of coordination that goes into an agreement like this and NOW Health Group has been creative, engaged, and exciting to work with,” said Hoffman Estates Mayor Bill McLeod. “I want to thank Sears/Transformco for their commitment to the venue since the building first opened in 2006. We look forward to continuing that relationship as Sears/Transformco remains an active supporter of the community.”
NOW manufactures products such as supplements, sports nutrition, food, beauty and health products, and essential oils. As a part of the naming right agreeemtn, it will work to engage local partners within the arena, including utilizing the arena space and events for local charities and bring additional business to the arena.

The United States is one of two states in the world that taxes its non-habitant citizens on worldwide revenue, in the same manner and rates as residents; another is Eritrea. The United State Supreme Court established the constitutionality of imposition of such a tax in the case of Cook v. Tait.
Payroll taxes are imposed by the federal and all state governments. These inclusive Social Security and Medicare taxes imposed on both employers and employees, at a conjointed rate of 15.3% (13.3% for 2011 and 2012). Social Security tax applies only to the first $106,800 of wages in 2009 thru 2011. None the less, advantages are just accrued on the first $106,800 of wages. Employers should withstand revenue taxes on wages. An unemployment tax and particular other levies apply to employers. Payroll taxes have dramatically increased as a part of federal revenue since the 1950s, while corporate revenue taxes have fallen as a part of revenue. (Venture profits have not fallen as a part of GDP).
Treasure taxes are imposed by most local governments and many specific aim authorities based on the fair market value of property. School and other authorities are often separately governed, and impose separate taxes. Treasure tax is usually imposed just on realty, though several jurisdictions tax several forms of business property. Treasure tax rules and rates differ widely with annual median rates ranging from 0.2% to 1.9% of a wealth's value basing on the state.

Finding Aids: General Information Leaflet 71
The National Archives in the Nation's Capital –
Information for Researchers
Services for Onsite Users – Frequently Asked Questions
You can save valuable archival research time by learning as much as possible about our holdings before you visit. See Sources of Information About Our Holdings, for suggestions on how to access this information. Much of it is available on our web site at www.archives.gov.
You can prepare most effectively for your visit by doing background research to help determine the relevance of the archival documents you hope to review. This background research can begin in a library with encyclopedia entries, books, and journal articles on your topic, or it can involve interviews with experts. Names of people and places and dates of events gathered from these sources will help you to narrow your focus and use your archival research time efficiently. For example, your knowledge of key dates will enable you to reduce the number of documents you might otherwise need to examine in a voluminous file of chronologically arranged correspondence. For assistance with this type of library research, visit your local library or consult the web site for our Archives Library Information Center (ALIC) at www.archives.gov/research/alic/
We encourage you to contact us in advance of your visit. By discussing your plans with us beforehand, we can confirm that pertinent records are among our holdings and available for research. Please be sure to provide us with contact information in case we need to advise you of any complicating circumstances that could interfere with your research plans.
It is possible, for example, that restrictions on access apply to the records of interest to you. Sometimes it is necessary for us to move records between our Washington-area facilities to accommodate building renovations or expansion of holdings. In addition, we have recently begun a program of transferring fragile records on deteriorating acetate film to cold storage outside the Washington area. (We retrieve these records from cold storage for research, but the retrieval process requires at least 24 hours.)
A telephone call, letter, or an email to us in advance could save you the needless frustration of discovering on your arrival that the records you need are not available. (See Contacting Us.)
View research hours in both the Washington, DC, and College Park, MD, buildings.
Your initial visit should occur during business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:45 a.m.–5 p.m.) when archives specialists and archivists are available to help you begin research. Plan on arriving as early as possible on the first day of your research visit. An afternoon arrival after 3 p.m. will not allow enough time for records to be identified and retrieved from the stack area for your examination that day. We store our records in closed stack areas, so you will need to order records through one of our research consultants. However, you may use the copies of records housed in our microfilm and video research rooms at any time during our hours of operation without making prior arrangements.
No, we do not charge fees to use records in our research rooms. Neither do we charge a fee for any research support services that our staff may provide. There are fees to make or obtain copies of records.
Yes. Before using archival records, you must obtain a researcher identification card at one of our Customer Service Centers. To obtain a card, you must be at least 14 years old. (If you are not 14 years old, you must have a note from a teacher or other school official stating that you are working on a research project requiring the use of primary documents. Also, you must be accompanied by an adult who agrees to be present while you do your research.) Before issuing the researcher identification card, our staff will ask you to show some sort of photographic identification, such as a driver’s license, school or business identification card, or passport. You must present the NARA researcher identification card when you enter a research area.
After obtaining a research card, you will meet with a staff member about your topic and consult onsite finding aids that describe our holdings. Finding aids are available for many, but not all, record groups. They include guides, inventories, lists, and indexes. The type and level of coverage of these finding aids varies from record group to record group. Our staff can assist you in relating these various information resources to your research interest.
If you find that you need to perform more background research in published sources after arriving at either facility, we may direct you to the Archives Library Information Center (ALIC) for assistance. The Archives Library Information Center in each building houses both reference collections and publications about U.S. history and Federal agency administrative history. Publications about archival theory and practice are available in ALIC at College Park.
To ensure the safe handling of our original records, we have established research room procedures. Items permitted into our research rooms are limited. You may bring very small personal items, such as hand-held wallets or coin purses, into research rooms, but they are subject to inspection when you enter or leave. You may bring a personal laptop computer. We have outlets available for this purpose.
Items not needed for research (such as outerwear and large bags, purses, backpacks, and briefcases) must be placed in a locker. These lockers, which we provide for your convenience, require a refundable quarter deposit. We make all determinations regarding what is acceptable for taking into our research rooms.
We must approve and stamp materials necessary for research, such as loose-leaf notes, lists, or references. This allows security personnel to easily identify these papers as non-NARA items when you leave. We provide pencils and specially marked paper and notecards for your use in taking notes. Research room staff can instruct you in the proper handling of records. For additional information, consult GIL 57, Rules for Using Historical Records in the National Archives, which is available in all research rooms. Our research rooms rules are codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (36 CFR 1254, Subpart B). All these rules regarding belongings are relaxed in the Microfilm Research Room in the National Archives Building in Washington, DC, because original records are not used there.
It is possible to obtain copies of most of the records that we make available in our research rooms. The options for doing so vary according to the type of record and its condition.
The National Archives and Records Administration is one of the few archival institutions in the world to offer researchers the opportunity to make self-service copies of records. This rare privilege carries with it responsibilities for careful handling of original documents. Because of preservation considerations, our research room staff must examine all original records before you make copies. Fragile or oversized records may not be self-photocopied. See the sections following on NARA-Prepared Copies.
Self-service black-and-white photocopiers are available for your use in our electronic, still picture, and textual research rooms. A self-service color copier is also available in our still picture research room. A debit card reader attached to each copier deducts money as a copy is made. Debit cards may be purchased onsite through vending machines or at our Cashier’s Office. The vending machines take bills only. The Cashier’s Office is open from 8:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the National Archives Building in Washington, DC and from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the National Archives at College Park, Monday through Friday.
Self-service reader-printers are available in our microfilm research rooms. Like the photocopiers described above, these reader-printers require debit cards.
You may duplicate reference copies of unrestricted audiovisual materials in our motion picture, sound, and video research room. There is no charge if you use your own equipment. Such equipment is subject to inspection when you arrive and depart. A dubbing station is available for you to use for a fee.
The cartographic and architectural research room is equipped with a copier capable of producing black and white copies of many types of oversized records. Staff operate this equipment and can usually complete the work while you wait.
NARA reproduces electronic records in a variety of media, with varying encoding. A NARA staff member familiar with these records can provide you with current information about copying options. (See Contacting Us.)
You may bring your own camera to photograph records, but you may not use a flash.
You may use your own scanner with the following restrictions: the copying surface (platen) must be the same size or larger than the record; the scanner must not cause friction, abrasion, or otherwise damage records; light sources must not generate heat on the records; and equipment surfaces must be clean and dry before being used. Drum and automatic feeder scanners are prohibited.
Personal paper-to-paper copiers are permitted only under certain restricted conditions and are subject to highly specific guidelines. If you intend to bring a scanner or copier, you must make prior arrangements with the Customer Service Center in the building in which you intend to work.
Because of preservation considerations, our research room staff must examine all original records before you make copies using your own equipment.
Because they were created by employees or agents of the Federal Government, most of the records in the custody of the National Archives of the United States are in the public domain. However, we do hold some documentary materials that originated in private hands, and these may be protected by copyright. If so, it is your responsibility to obtain any necessary permission from the copyright holder. Particularly in the case of some special media records, Federal agencies may have obtained materials from private commercial sources, and these may carry publication restrictions, as well as copyright protection. Furthermore, the owners of these images may impose usage fees.

Micron unveils first solid state drive offerings
Company bets lower cost of NAND flash technology will quickly boost market
Computerworld - Micron Technology Inc. today plunged headfirst into the nascent solid state drive marketplace with the unveiling of its RealSSD family of storage devices.
The RealSSD portfolio features serial ATA II-enabled 1.8-in. and 2.5-in. solid state drives in 32GB and 64GB capacities. The company early next year will start mass producing the drives, which are currently being "sampled," said Dean Klein, vice president of memory system development at Boise, Idaho-based Micron.
Micron's RealSSD drives, noted Klein, require less than 2 watts of power during active mode and are about 50% lighter than hard disk drives of similar capacities. The devices do not require a SATA bridge chip but rather rely on a single-chip controller (optimized for four-channel control of NAND flash) directly targeting the solid state drive application, he added.
The new RealSSD line also includes the Embedded USB and Module products. The RealSSD Embedded USB can be plugged into a PC or blade server system to provide operating system storage and boot capabilities via an USB 2.0 interface. The RealSSD Module is a SATA-enabled solid state drive for server-based applications that measures 25 millimeters high by 133.5mm long and less than 4mm thick.
Klein acknowledged that adoption of solid state drives for corporate users has been very slow, mostly because of the technology's high price tag. However, he predicted that declining prices of NAND flash technology and the inevitable development of applications for solid state systems will accelerate demand.
"Technology is going to make [solid state] real. The cost of the NAND components will be a large determining factor in terms of acceptance," said Klein. "Even if we could bring speed of light performance to these devices, there's a lot of applications that still won't take them because the cost is too high or the density isn't high enough."
Of the many first-generation solid state drive devices currently available, Klein remarked, "benchmarks have proven them to be fairly lame in terms of performance." Going a step further, he panned BitMicro Networks Inc.'s 1.6TB solid state drive unveiled this month as a "pricey piece of art." Samsung Electronics Co. and SanDisk Corp are considered two established leaders currently providing solid state drive offerings, analysts noted.
Although initially focused on providing solid state drives for the notebook audience -- a natural fit, said Klein, because solid state is lightweight, and offers power savings and a small size -- Micron does have interest in examining larger-capacity solid state products for the desktop and enterprise industry.
Jeff Janukowicz, an analyst at Framingham, Mass.-based IDC, said his IT research firm has forecast that demand for solid state technology will "substantially" increase over the next few years. An IDC report released in July predicted that sales of solid state drives will grow from $373 million in 2006 to a total of $5.4 billion in 2011.

While coastal beaches, both on the East and West Coast, tend to get a lot of focus, there are plenty of other beaches worth considering around the country, too. Take, for example, this well-curated list of the best beaches in Michigan!
Much of the upper Midwest, including Michigan, is dotted with cute beach towns thanks to their proximity to the Great Lakes. Michigan itself is surrounded by Lake Michigan in the west Lake Huron in the east, and Lake Superior along the Upper Peninsula. At 3,200 miles of land along the lakes, Michigan comes in second only to Alaska in terms of coastline.
This summer, pack up and head to the best beaches in Michigan for an unforgettable getaway. While you're there, take the time to explore the many charming coastal towns along the way. There are several Select Registry Bed and Breakfasts located near some of the most popular beaches, too, so your choices for lodging will be easy.
No other hotels, Bed and Breakfasts, or Inns boast the same level of service and quality assurance that Select Registry offers. Choose to Stay Select this summer, and get ready to have some fun in the sun!
With 3,200 miles of shoreline, it probably comes as no surprise to you that Michigan is home to some truly breathtaking beaches. We've taken our time to research the state, and have included a list of the best beaches in Michigan below, starting from in the south near Saugatuck and ending on the eastern shore of Michigan in Oscoda.
This beach, located at Grand Haven State Park, is one of the best beaches in Michigan for kiteboarding and surfing. It's about 45 minutes north of Saugatuck on Lake Michigan.
If you're looking for a hidden slice of beachy paradise, this is the place for you. Silver Lake Sand Dunes isn't necessarily easy to access, but it's definitely one of the best beaches in Michigan, and therefore worth the effort. It's located midway between Saugatuck and Traverse City.
Here, you'll find 60 miles of one of the best beaches of Michigan, just outside of Traverse City. The beaches are punctuated with incredible sand dunes and offer a scenic place to spend the day. There are a number of places from which to access the beach, but we recommend those at Platte River Point, Tiesma Road, Peterson Road, and Esch Road.
The South Island Manitou Lighthouse is located within the park, too.
Located on the Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City, offers up some of the clearest water around, which also makes it one of the best beaches in Michigan. It's a great place to escape the larger crowds that you'll find at the beaches in Traverse City itself.
Enjoy the warm waters and scenic views at Mackinaw City Beach on the northern tip of Lake Huron. It's a little out of the way of our Select Registry Bed and Breakfasts but definitely worth the trip, especially if you plan to visit the charming world of Mackinac Island. It offers an exceptional view of the Mackinac Bridge.
Negwegon is a true hidden gem - even its entrance can be hard to find! That is part of what makes it one of the best beaches in Michigan, though, apart from its scenic beauty. It's located on the shores of Lake Huron near Oscoda.
We've not included any of the incredible beaches on Michigan's Upper Peninsula, notably because there are no Select Registry properties nearby. However, that doesn't mean there aren't great beaches there. In fact, two of the best beaches in Michigan are located on the Upper Peninsula. If you have time to swing up north during your vacation make sure to head to Twelve Mile Beach on Lake Superior, which is in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, and beaches in Manistique on Lake Michigan.
This summer, having the opportunity to explore some of the best beaches in Michigan might just be enough to kick your travel planning into high gear. If it's not, though, we hope to entice you by highlight a few of the beach towns you'll encounter along the way.
Michigan's beach towns are not just beautiful, but they are fun! It's here that you’ll find independent boutiques to browse, local flavors to enjoy at restaurants, plenty of breweries and wineries and which to kick back and relax, and, of course, all the scenic beauty you crave.
Saugatuck is a charming city located in western Michigan. Apart from being home to what Condé Nast Traveler refers to as one of the “Top 25 Beaches in the World,” it also offers visitors beautiful scenery, unusual stores, and a thriving arts scene.
Traverse City is one of the most popular coastal towns in all of Michigan. Apart from being near some of the best beaches in Michigan, Traverse City also has a historic downtown worth exploring.
Get outside the city, and enjoy wine tasting at one of the local wineries, or take a scenic drive viewing historic lighthouses along the way. There are endless opportunities for summer fun in this incredible town.
Located at the tip of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, Mackinaw City is the gateway to Mackinac Island and is where Lake Huron meets Lake Michigan. On Mackinac Island, enjoy the slower pace of life (where no cars are allowed), and explore the quaint shops and natural attractions to your heart's content.
If you're looking for a destination rich in outdoor recreation, you've found it in Oscoda. While some of the best beaches in Michigan are nearby, this area also offers plenty of pristine waters for kayaking and paddleboarding. Oscoda is home to Au Sable River, which is considered to be some of the best water for these activities.
Are you ready to see these incredible towns and the best beaches in Michigan? So are we! Browse through our Select Registry properties in this wonderful area below, and let's start planning your adventure.
