SCHOOL DAYS IN WRIGHTS
Submitted By Tim Chase
Child of Depression Era recalls two-room school along Sinnemahoning path
(Editor's note; Wayne Caskey, who now resides in State College, was an Era newspaper reporter many years ago. A native of Port Allegany who is now retired, he wrote the following report about a two-room schoolhouse he attended in Wrights)
By Wayne I. Caskey
Special to the Era
From my age group came the kids of the great Depression. Many of us were deprived economically, some badly. But few of us knew it and even if we did, no one lost sleep over it. We were also the lucky, or unlucky, ones who were just the right age for military service in World War II.
Many of us survive who spent our first six years of school in a two-room wooden building along the Sinnemahoning Path, an Indian trail also known as Allegheny Portage.
The school was named Wrights, about five miles south of Port Allegany, on the road to Emporium. This valley was once the route of the most popular Indian portage between western North America and East Coast points. Few of us students had much historical knowledge when we attended school there.
The portage connected the Allegheny and Susquehanna River systems, the easiest grade to negotiate between rivers. Via land and stream the first Americans took this trail from the western United States to eastern places like Queen Esther's Town (now part of Williamsport) Peixtan (Harrisburg today) and Philadelphia or vise versa. These first Americans paddled Portage Creek just west of the future site of Wrights school.
The school served children from such nearby places as Cady Hollow, Comes Creek, Wrights, Liberty, the Chemical Works, Liberty Villa, Scaffold Lick, the Main Road, the Back Road, and the Hamilton.
Children named Sewell came from Cady Hollow; Anderson, Cox and Zlobec from Comes Creek; Boorum, Ayers, and Smith from Liberty; Stromberg Botera and Meacham from Wrights.
Palm and Kupper kids came from upper Main Road. Mantzes, Johnsons, Turners and Mannings came from lower Main Road; Kinneys from the Back Road, and Caskeys from both.
Nelsons and Duftons and Wetmores walked in from the Hamilton.
Comes Creek contingent rode to school in a pale green, wooden box-bus which was called the chicken roost. Mel Thompson's bigger box-bus, orange with black stripe, carried children from all along the Main Road from the Chemical Works to Liberty, a trip of some eight miles. Many kids, including me, walked every day in rain, deep snow or high water.
The school's two rooms were divided by a narrow hallway for storing overshoes known as "artics", head gear, lunch boxes, mainly called dinner pails, and wraps. Outer clothing took the name wraps at Wrights.
Later as seventh graders at the more sophisticated Church Street junior high school in Port Allegany, we were told to hang our wraps in the cloak room. Voila! We advanced from wraps to cloaks.
Grades one through three were taught in the room on the school's west side, while grades four through six occupied the room on the east. In moving from one grade to the next, except from third to fourth, we simply moved over to the nexy aisle.
Spending three years in each room, we in effect attended the first three grades three years in a row since we were all in the same room, ditto for grades four through six. For those who didn't pass, the stay was even longer.
Marie Kirkman Hermanson taught my class for the first three years 1928-31, Grace Razey, fourth grade, and Myra Guenter, grades five and six. All have passed on though Mrs. Hermanson lived well into the 1990s.
While all were disciplinarians, which current teachers seem to be afraid to be, Miss Razey was all business. Oh, how she laid down the law! Kids foolhardy enough to challenge her were likely to regret it.
A skirmish with Miss Razey was most unwise and sure to be costly to one's dignity. Dark haired and thin as a post, she rather often struck a bit of terror into our young hearts.
She easily intimidated everybody, even the biggest boys. Slight of build she was, But Miss Razey could pitch a full scuttle of coal into the furnace with a single heave-ho. For little more or less than a dollar a day, these teachers were housekeepers, doctors, nurses, guardians, chambermaids, psychiatrists, confidants, confessors and nannies five days a week to six dozen children who belonged to somebody else.
Their jobs included stoking coal furnaces, cleaning house, keeping records and doing details that had little or nothing to do with teaching. They were excused from knowing the arts of plumbing and electricity because Wrights school had neither.
Fat black round furnaces, one in each room, provided heat in cold weather, at least some of the time. They could belch like locomotives and were almost as big. Now and then one imploded, belching fumes and smoke, alarming all of us in a time when many things in our lives were traumatic, though none of us knew the meaning of traumatic.
Sparks from a furnace fell on the tinder roof and occasionally set it afire. Older boys climbed up, tossing water about, and soon all of us were back at our desks. Once in a while fire ate a sizable hole in the roof, giving gleeful children a day or two of unexpected vacation while repairs were being made.
Fire was indeed the old school's nemesis, eventually burning it to the ground, but after it had been remodeled into a private home.
Clara DuPaul, I believe her name was, came around now and then from the tuberculosis society or county health department. She checked our eyes, ears, teeth and such. Once a year she gave us tuberculin tests - a needle in the lower left arm.
My results annually revealed poor eyesight (amblyopia or lazy eye which runs in our family to this day) and enlarged tonsils. All such defects continued year after year since most of our families simply could not afford a trip to the doctor or dentist.
Every year my tuberculin test showed positive where a bright red spot formed where stuck by the needle. All of us with red spots were transported to the Rocky Crest Sanatorium on the hill between Bradford and Olean, unsure of what fate was in store.
Children carried all sorts of things to school such as chicken pox, bad colds, measles or worse. If they had them, some brought homemade toys or wagons. Once a schoolmate brought roller skates even though there was no place to use them.
Some kids brought friends or cousins now and then from Turtlepoint, Wolf Run or Bradford and we wondered why students would waste free time visiting somebody else's school.
A schoolmate once brought her mother and later the family cat to visit school for an entire day. In spring many a student came to school reeking of sharp essence of leeks. Teachers often sent them home.
Behind the school stood a woodshed which Miss Razey threatened to toss us into, right through a window, if we continued to whisper or disrupt her class.
Farther back were two well-spaced outhouses, one for girls and the other for boys. When a child raised a hand in class and asked to "leave the room", it was perfectly clear where the child had to go.
Red-haired Matilda, who often skittered merrily about, described a trip to the outhouse as a "trot to the privy". In those days children never asked to go to the bathroom. When a child asked to leave the room, the teacher knew. Everybody knew.
Once in a while one of the older boys would ask to leave the room and take off for home.

Straightlaced: San Francisco World Premiere!Friday 20, February 2009
By Debra Chasnoff, President/Senior Producer | Straightlaced
Last month was a milestone for me and everyone here at GroundSpark. We had the world premiere of Straightlaced—How Gender’s Got Us All Tied Up in San Francisco! We literally finished the film at midnight the night before. And, as with the debut of all of our other films, I was a bit of a nervous wreck sitting in the audience, wondering how the 750 people in the packed house would respond.
Check out some of these highlights from the night:
Click the above image to start the Flash Video
Once the film started to roll I watched my 15-year old son, Oscar out of the corner of my eye. He was riveted – always a good sign—and I finally started to breathe a bit more easily!
An hour later my co-producer, Sue Chen, and I were basking in the glow of a standing ovation.
(For more pictures from the premiere, place click here.)
Four plus years of painstaking work, scores of generous donations from our community of supporters, and the tireless dedication of our incredible staff and board had paid off!
“You have spoken the unspoken truth,” one student told me. “I LOVE THIS FILM!” roared another. And then there were all the adults. “I learned so much.” “I am stunned.” “I couldn’t stop crying.” “I’m so inspired.”
Since the premiere, Ryan Schwartz, our fearless and tireless national organizing manager, has been connecting with activist and educational organizations across the country to put together local premieres.
So far we have big screenings scheduled in communities that are really excited to use Straightlaced to spark dialogue, raise funds, and inspire audiences.
Thursday I was in Greensboro, North Carolina–300 people came out in the cold to welcome this film to North Carolina! Next week our director of education, Amy Scharf will be in Atlanta, Georgia where we are premiering the film after two days of intensive training for teachers on Let’s Get Real and That’s a Family!. Premieres are also coming up in Columbus, Ohio, Birmingham, AL, and Laramie, WY. More on what’s happening in all of these places in future blog posts!
Right now plans are underway to get events scheduled in:
New York City
Salt Lake City
Please contact Ryan Schwartz if you want to explore setting up a premiere in your city!
I look forward to seeing what you have to say on this blog. So don’t be shy — add your voice to and join in the dialogue about the power of film to spark culture change, especially for students in every school.

Five Fire Lieutenant positions created
On the recommendation of Fire Chief Richard Anderson, Town Council approved a change to the current organizational structure at the Fire Department. The Fire Chief told Council that the staffing ratio of officers to firefighters was identified as unsatisfactory. Under the previous system in 2016, the structure had it that the Fire Chief, one Fire Prevention Officer, one Deputy Fire Chief and three Captains was acceptable but under new Fire Department Staffing guidelines the ratio was unsatisfactory at the present time. In order to rectify this situation Fire Chief Anderson recommended the creation of five Fire Lieutenants positions, who would rank below Captain. The new positions would require candidates to take extra courses and the positive of this would mean that a Fire Lieutenant would be more qualified to be promoted to Captain in the case of a retirement or resignation. The standby annual pay for this position is $1,700, up from $1,200 for a Firefighter, and because this was not budgeted, Council approved an extra $1,250 to cover the portion of the Lieutenants positions for this year.

Well at the price point a storage pouch on the outside would be welcome...but it doesn't detract from the overall product.The camo pattern is good and the ballistic nylon is heavy enough as is the padding and handle.they fit my scoped pellet guns (.177/.22) perfectly and carry with ease while affording great protection to the guns. I have to day I am pretty impressed with this product.
Pros: Excellent materials/build
Cons: lacks storage pocket outside...
Would recommend: Yes

A silver lining in the forthcoming budget fails to materialize as the House of Representatives has released a bill that has been referred to as omnibus and that the exemption for cigars was removed from that final proposal. While the bill moves before a vote of the House and Senate there still remains a slim chance that the language could miraculously find its way back into to bill.
It is believed that the language which was part of other funding within the bill and was removed when the Democrats led by Nancy Pelosi voiced displeasure over certain funding within the budget. As a result in order to please that party the funding in which the cigar exemption was part of the language was removed in the $1.1 trillion dollar budget.
The attention now falls to the Office of Management and Budget who has had the final recommendation from the FDA and a final ruling is expected to be made between Option 1 and Option 2.
Option 1 would change the way the cigar industry does business in which all brands to come to the market after 2/15/17 would become subject to approval. It has been estimated by some that it could cost as much as $250,000 to have a blend approved. This option would remove over 50% of the brands on the market from the shelves and would put an end to the limited edition market.
Option 2 would raise the price of premium cigars to a minimum of $10.00, have no flavors and consist of long filler tobacco to be exempted from FDA regulation. Brands like Duran Azan Burgundy which came out after 2007 and cost under $10.00 would have to apply for approval while the Duran Signature line would be exempt since it costs over $10.00.
The OMB is expected to make its ruling known in the New Year.

Cleaner living: Plant-friendly is planet-friendly
- By Peter Grinspoon, MD, Contributor
Climate change is in the news more and more, and the projections from virtually all of the world's climate scientists are becoming increasingly dire. Almost daily, we are confronted with images of extreme weather patterns, disease outbreaks, and the loss of certain species. It is almost biblical in proportion. Most poignant, to me, are the distressing images of starving, displaced polar bears whose icy habitats are melting away.
Many of the things that we can do to prevent or slow climate change are intuitive, difficult as they may be to put into practice: conserve energy, drive less, elect politicians that are dedicated to working on this problem, and recycle, to name the basics. However, many people may be unaware that some simple changes to our daily diet can have a tremendous impact on the emission of greenhouse gasses.
How does food production affect the climate?
About 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from food production. About half of this is from the livestock sector alone. And it's not just the greenhouse gasses that are the problem. Food production occupies about 40% of the global land, uses about 70% of our fresh water (which is increasingly in short supply in many places in the world, leading to strife), causes many species to become extinct, and is responsible for large areas of deforestation (cutting down the rain forest so cattle can graze) and desertification (the process by which fertile land becomes desert, typically as a result of inappropriate agriculture).
Make a difference with a planet-friendly diet
The good news is that simply by making some changes to your diet, by adopting what is known as a "planet-friendly" diet, it is possible to contribute to the solution to climate change. It's merely a question of knowing which foods are the worst climate offenders, and then either transitioning away from these foods or replacing them altogether with climate-friendlier alternatives.
According to the World Resources Institute, far and away the most destructive food is beef. In terms of all three markers — greenhouse gas emissions, freshwater consumption, and land use — beef is an environmental disaster. Just behind beef is dairy, followed by poultry, pork, eggs, and fish.
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) proposes that people reduce their consumption of animal products by 30% as an urgent component of their recommendations to combat climate change.
About a year ago, I gave up red meat for exactly this reason, with less than perfect success. Old habits are hard to break, and change comes slowly and requires patience.
Healthier for you and the environment
Fortunately, the foods that are healthy for the climate almost completely overlap with the foods that are healthy for your physical well-being. Cutting down on beef in favor of plant-based protein, even once a week, can lower the risk factors for diabetes, heart attack, and stroke. So, the next time you start reaching for that burger, or think about ordering that prime rib, consider choosing the veggie option instead. You'll be doing your part to take better care of the planet and yourself in the process.

So it’s a series of non-linked stories with the common thing that a lucky dude gets lucky with a stranger.
There’s a total of 7 lucky encounters scenes. And I guess the real story is Suzumura Airi body, which is truly a wonder. Also, her mild and sweet acting is really charming,
The first scene with Shinji Ogawa was really awesome. One of the most handsome guys in JAV with one of the most pretty girls in JAV… so much swag.
The second scene I enjoyed too. The drenched from rain fantasy is good and always work great.
During scene number 6, something seriously weird happened. It’s a trap on an elevator scene. As Suzumura while trapped on an elevator with Taku, she was to be unable hold her pee anymore and she was supposed to on his mouth. Taku agreed to save the day and drink her pee. However, it seemed as if Suzumura freaked out and she was unable to pee for this scene, and she improvised some lame lines, that truly looked improvised.
So they kept on filming the scene, without any edition or cut. The whole thing ended being super lame and weird.

Following straight in the steps of the Xiaomi Mi Max, it is now the turn of yet another gigantic phone cum tablet to launch in India. Announced a couple of months back, the Zenfone 3 Ultra is now available in the country and we’re been using it for a few days now. Is this the perfect phone that doubles up as a tablet or really just a small tablet with a phone component inside? Read on our review of the Zenfone 3 Ultra to find out.

Asus has adopted a homogenous design on the entire Zenfone 3 range of phones and this is very evident in the approach towards the Zenfone 3 Ultra as well. Now before moving on to specific design features, we should probably talk about ergonomics. At 186.4 x 93.9 x 6.8 mm, the Ultra is without a doubt a gigantic device which is to be expected given the massive 6.8 inch display housed in that frame. Despite software tweaks and efforts by Asus to make the Zenfone 3 Ultra usable in a single hand, it is most comfortable only when using both hands especially with the marginally slippery brushed metal elements on the side and rear. For the most part you’ll have to set aside anything else you’re holding before digging out the Zenfone 3 Ultra.
The front of the Zenfone 3 Ultra is mostly composed of the large 6.8 inch Full HD IPS display. Narrow bezels run on either side of the screen while above it lies the 8MP front facing camera. Below the display is a central hardware home key flanked on either side by capacitive keys that correspond to back and multitasking. Both these keys are backlit of course. The central home key also houses the fingerprint scanner that proved to be quick at scanning and dropping us into the user interface.
The right hand side is where you’ll spot the centrally placed power button as well as two nano SIM card slots above it. One of these is a hybrid slot allowing you to expand the built-in 64GB of storage using a microSD card. You’ll observe that there’s no volume rocker here and that’s because it has been placed over at the rear of the handset. This shouldn’t be much of a surprise for those of you who’ve used previous Zenfone series devices. On a phone of this size, reaching the rear volume rocker is a definite stretch and it is far from convenient. We managed to drop the phone a couple of times while trying to adjust the volume due to the sheer size of the device.
The back of the phone eschews the spun metal and glass design of the regular Zenfone 3 and adopts the brushed metal finish from the Deluxe. While the spun metal and glass is certainly more visually striking, we feel that Asus has done a good job by adopting the brushed aluminum which is much more scratch and scuff resistant. The 3.5mm audio jack is placed at the top while the bottom of the phone sports the USB Type C connector.
Overall, the Zenfone 3 Ultra is more or less a gigantic take on the Zenfone 3 Deluxe. The expanded dimensions obviously have a negative effect on dimensions but if you are in the market for a large screen phone like this, you’ll simply have to live with the limitations till edgeless displays like that from the Mi Mix become commonplace.
The Zenfone 3 Ultra runs Android 6.0.1 with ZenUI on top. Time and time again we’ve commented on the sheer amount of bloat on the ROM and unfortunately, once again Asus has continued its tradition of installing close to 24 applications on their phone. This includes redundant apps like multiple browsers, game shortcuts and some marginally interesting ones like the Laser Ruler.
Moving on to the interface itself, it is quite the same as we’ve come to expect from Zen UI. The phone keeps the three level hierarchy where in dropping in from the lockscreen takes you to the homescreen and you can further access an app drawer from here. The lockscreen itself allows for multiple customisable shortcuts that can help you quickly get into your favorite apps.
In typical Asus fashion, the homescreen is very customizable and you can add themes, icon packs and more to completely tweak the interface. Dive into the app drawer and once again you can sort out apps using a number of ways. The software can also place these apps into smart folders which sorts them out on the basis of functionality. Despite the large amount of bloat, the phone remains smooth for most parts of UI navigation. There’s a fair few interesting additions but the heavy-handed pre bundling on the hardware is something we could have gone without.
Internally, the Zenfone 3 Ultra is powered by a Snapdragon 652 processor and 3GB of RAM. For a phone priced at Rs. 50,000, these are pretty low end specs. We agree with Asus that specifications aren’t the be all and end all but if users are investing flagship grade money on a phone, they expect flagship grade hardware that gives them their money’s worth. We found performance to be satisfactory while browsing through menus and more. Heavy multitasking is managed fairly well though you might face issues with large and graphically heavy games. On a day-to-day basis, there was little to complain from a performance perspective. Graphically intensive games on the other hand exhibited a few dropped frames and occasional slow downs. We’ve included some benchmarks below to give you a better idea of comparative performance.
On AnTuTu 6, the Zenfone Ultra scores 79012 points placing it towards the bottom rung of the ladder. This is mostly because a lot of the competition is using higher end processor like the Snapdragon 820 here.
On the Geekbench 3 Multicore benchmark, the phone scores 3168 points and is placed right at the bottom of our test bench.
Similarly on Basemark OS II, the Zenfone 3 Ultra scores just 1531 points. Like always, we insist that benchmark scores are only indicative and don’t always reveal the true picture behind performance. This is equally true on Zenfone 3 Ultra where you might be discouraged by the poor scores.
Face it, if you are buying a phone with a 6.8 inch display, the screen is definitely a priority for you. And resolution related concerns apart, it does not disappoint. The Full HD panel covers 95% of the NTSC gamut. The color rendition is spot on and brightness levels are good enough to view outdoors even on a sunny day.
That said, the phone is begging for an upgrade to a Quad HD panel. The large, bright display looks good but it isn’t hard to notice soft edges around app icons and text. Given the media centric approach of the handset, it seems like a major faux pass by Asus.
Straight up, the camera on the Zenfone 3 Ultra is quite disappointing. Given the camera hardware pedigree though we’d err towards this being a software issue rather than hardware. There’s a 23MP rear camera with dual-tone LED Flash, a Sony IMX318 sensor and f/2.0 aperture. To step it up a notch, the phone even includes 4-axis OIS, 3-axis EIS, and Laser AF. All this means that the camera should ideally be capable of some stellar photography which is unfortunately not the case here.
The camera has a tendency to wash out all colors and sharpness levels tend to be lacking too. In fact we observed that despite having 4 axis stabilisation, images often turned out to be blurry.
What is evident is that the camera lacks dynamic range. The images tend to have overblown highlights with the skies appearing particularly washed out and details missing in the shadow region. Low light images are rather poor despite the dedicated shooting modes built into the phone. We’re honesty quite surprised by the poor camera capabilities and can only hope that this is a software issue that’ll get resolved with updates.
Connectivity / Battery Life / Multimedia
The Zenfone 3 Ultra is well equipped in terms of connectivity options. From 4G LTE, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (2.4/5 GHz), and Bluetooth 4.2 to the requisite GPS support, the phone has it all nailed down. Charging is done over USB 3.0 Type-C and interestingly, the phone is amongst the first to support video out as well. Unfortunately we couldn’t test this out since we were unable to find compatible cables but it does lend further credence to the multimedia credentials of the phone. Built in storage on the phone is 64GB and of this around 52GB is available free. There’s dual SIM card slots onboard and the second slot doubles up as a microSD card slot as well. We reiterate our previous stance that we are really not in favor of hybrid SIM slots since you have to choose between hardware capabilities. Beyond the microSD card slot, the phone can also augment built in storage using a USB OTG drive.
With the massive 4600 mAh battery, standby times on the Zenfone 3 Ultra are superlative. We could easily get two days of use from the handset and often even on the third day there was enough charge in it to get us through half the day. The large battery quickly became one of our favorite things about the handset.
With dual Five-magnet stereo speakers, a NXP smart amplifier and Hi-Res Audio support, the Zenfone 3 Ultra ticks all the checkmarks for high quality audio output. Let’s talk about those speakers first. The Ultra goes loud, REALLY loud. There’s hardly any stereo separation since both the speakers are at the bottom but you won’t complain about volume. There’s just a hint of bass but that would be expecting a little too much from a smartphone speaker and we were happy to see that audio did not crack even at high volume levels. Coming to headphones output, the phone performs well enough. The noise floor is slightly high so on sensitive headphones you’ll be able to hear a bit of hiss but for the most part audio performance is satisfactory.
Calling the Zenfone 3 Ultra, a phone, is a bit of a stretch. For that matter it transcends even the phablet category and is approaching small tablet standards. Marginally smaller than a Nexus 7, it really puts media consumption and battery life first. On those fronts, the phone excels with a very good screen though points could be deducted for it not being a Quad HD panel. The exemplary battery life further aids its claim of being a content consumption device.
Unfortunately everything else falls apart as ergonomically the handset is way too big to be convenient as a phone. The camera too proved to be very disappointing. Overall though, with all these caveats it is hard to make a case for the Zenfone 3 Ultra at a price point touching Rs. 50,000. Should you really want a very large smartphone, the Xiaomi Mi Max is good enough to satisfy your curiosity at a much more palatable price point.
- Good screen
- Battery Life
- Display out over Type C
- Too large to be comfortable
- Poor camera

Or, how a region learned to love ‘the google’
Over the weekend the Ann Arbor News had an article about the real estate goings-on of Google and it’s landlord McKinley. It appears as though McKinley is trying to buy up the block of real estate that the new Google Adwords headquarters are to be located. Currently, Google is under lease agreement for roughly 85,000 square feet of space in the McKinley Towne Center for the next four years. It is estimated that they will need at least 200,000 square feet for the 1,000+ jobs that they intend to bring to the area in the next 5 years. This article highlights the possibilities for a future Googleplex at the Towne Center and Tally Hall location.
Interestingly enough, there is an article in the most recent Fortune Magazine about why Google is the number one best company to work for. This article was also highlighted on the morning show Today, this morning.
Great articles. So What?
It struck me, watching the show this morning, what impact the at least 1,000 employees for Google will have on downtown Ann Arbor. With Google’s propensity to supply their employees with everything imagineable at the workplace, it strikes me that the number of jobs created simply to support the 1,000 Googlers will be sizeable.
By simply connecting the dots, it is safe to assume that there could be an additional 1,200 jobs created to support the Googlers here in Ann Arbor; a net increase in jobs of 2,200 positions. Of course, everyone is quick to point out that the average salary of the A2 Googlers will be $50,000 and that might be on the low end to consider living close to/in downtown Ann Arbor.
Put that aside for a moment and consider what 2,200 new positions could do to our local micro-economy. A2 Googlers will need places to nosh, clothes to be cleaned, places to park, places to live, gifts to purchase, etc. This doesn’t even take into consideration any subsidiary support businesses that Google Adwords may need in the local market!
All of this conjecturing to say what exactly?
‘The Google’ coming to Ann Arbor is a sign of (good) things to come for this area. Let’s hope that our beloved local and state officials don’t mess this one up.

Good clean well lite hostel that ran daily activities and was walking distance to times square (reasonably far but I did it many times)
This place thinks of EVERYTHING for travelers. You can’t check in until 4pm but I was able to shower when I arrived (travelers will appreciate this!!). My room was ready early so I got to check in early as well! The building is beautiful and modern, with many spaces to lounge and eat. There’s also 2 full kitchens in the basement! This was so convenient considering that a lot of hotels in big cities don’t have microwaves or fridges in the rooms. They have planned activities for guests everyday which was super cool! Gives people a chance to talk and mingle. Loved this place!
Beds are doable, but I found it a bit difficult to get comfortable while trying to sleep. The bathrooms could be a little cleaner, there was a slight pee smell in them. Still worth the money, the pros definitely outweigh the cons!
The bar, the cinema
Everyone in my room were extremely considerate of each other’s need to rest as we all seemed to have very active days and some ... very active nights as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to utilize the hostel services again in the future !!! Thanx to You .... My mission was accomplished
that you can lock the shower and that the lockers a big
no breakfast no much information from the staff just a very think sheet (if you come from Europe you expect a real, warm blanket) and one blanket that seems to be passed down from guest to guest - it was extremely cold! very loud during the night (people screaming and yelling in the hallway between midnight and 4 in the morning) - staff should inform new guests about being quiet during the night (courtesy!) and check every now and then in the hallways. I couldn't sleep more than 2 hours.

Remote phosphor debuts in avionics displays
Current avionics displays use liquid crystal display (LCD) technology that mainly consists of two parts: a liquid crystal glass and a backlight (LED) creating all the necessary light. However, nearly every LCD display suffers from uniformity issues. With EU funding of DERPHOSA (Technology development of remote phosphor for avionic cockpit displays), four European companies joined forces to develop a new backlight concept based on remote phosphor, offering a simpler solution with a more stable colour yield. The advanced remote phosphor backlight concept is an evolution of the current triple-colour or white LED backlights. A blue LED illuminates a layer of fluorescent phosphor, converting the blue wavelength to very stable, customised white light. The phosphor is layered onto a substrate separate from the LED chip. Reaction losses between phosphors and the LED chip are thus minimised, leading to higher light output and improved colour performance. By eliminating the use of multiple light sources and complex electronics and control software to correct for colour differences, this technology significantly simplifies the LCD backlight unit. It also offers high reliability and reduced maintenance costs. Project efforts were mainly devoted to adapting the fluorescent phosphors to the wavelength of the blue pump light source and tuning them to the LCD colour filter. Researchers implemented the remote phosphor backlight concept for both direct-lit and edge-lit applications. The new displays scored well during validation testing at an altitude of 10 km and with bright sunlight, offering better contrast and greater clarity than the current displays. In addition to better image quality, the innovative DERPHOSA solution combines higher energy efficiency and lower weight compared to the current triple-colour or white LED backlights. Project results were disseminated through the project website, at conferences and in newsletters. You can view the project video here.

Police responded early Tuesday morning to a call of a shooting at a home in Riverside, but the report turned out to be a prank targeting the residence of a teen whose so-called “Damn, Daniel” video has gone viral on social media, authorities said.
About 1:10 a.m., a 911 caller said a man had shot his mother in the head in the 6000 block of Hamilton Drive, according to Lt. Kevin Townsend of the Riverside Police Department.
Police descended on the home and contacted its occupants, who said they “had no idea what (the officers) were talking about,” the lieutenant said. News video showed law enforcement personnel — some armed with rifles — approaching a house as a helicopter shined a spotlight from overhead.
Investigators determined that no shooting had occurred, and they were investigating the call as a “swatting” incident, Townsend said. Swatting is a hoax in which a false report of a crime results in a SWAT-team-like response from authorities, at a place were no wrongdoing has occurred.
Police learned that one of the residents of the Hamilton Drive home is connected to the “Damn, Daniel” video that recently went viral after being published on social media, according to Townsend.
The 30-second clip is a montage of several brief videos, each of which shows the same teenage boy wearing a backpack. Another boy’s voice is heard repeating the phrase “Damn, Daniel.”
“Back at it again with the white Vans,” the voice adds, referring to the strutting teen’s shoes.
Both boys are students at Riverside Polytechnic High School, the Press-Enterprise reported. Daniel Lara appears in the clip, which was created and narrated by Joshua Holz, according to the newspaper.
The footage was posted on Twitter on Feb. 15. It has since been retweeted more than 290,000 times and “liked” more than 375,000 times.
Police did not specify whether the swatting victim was the boy who is seen in the video or the one who is heard. Public records show the targeted home is owned by two people whose last name is also Holz.

Have you ever wondered if your dog also gets bored? Well they do! If they don't get enough stimulation and exercise, they too can become bored and irritated. It may also depend on the breed of dog, age, and their energy levels. So, what exactly happens when dogs are bored? What are the signs that your dog is bored? And what can we as dog parents do to help?
More often, dogs that are bored will show signs, either by their expressions or through destructive ways to entertain themselves. Here are some common indications that your dog is bored:
- Excessive chewing
- Going through garbage, etc.
- Other destructive, unusual bad behaviors
- Play Fetch
- Play Tug (any short piece of rope will do)
- Hide n' Treat - hide treats in upside down paper cups & have your dog try to locate it
- Play your dog's favorite toys together
- Gently Wrestle/Tickle your dog
- Stuff a food dispensing toy
- Invite a fur buddy over to play together
One of the simplest ways to train your dog is to offer them something they want in return for the behavior you are trying to train them to do. In most cases, treats are the most effective. But what happens if your dog isn't motivated by the treats you are offering it? Read on to find out possible reasons why your dog is not interested in treats and tips to train your dog.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk
New Sumners Bridge Opens And Continues Jobs Push
Victor P Taffa
Palaszczuk Government’s $80 Million congestion-tackling Sumners Road overpass project continues to gain momentum, with the first of two new bridges now complete.
It’s part of a multi-billion-dollar pipeline of infrastructure projects being built right now by the state government, supporting thousands of jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said it’s projects like the Sumners Road Interchange which are an important economic driver and vital in supporting jobs during these challenging times.
“We have a $23 billion roads and transport program in Queensland, and I want every Queenslander to know that we’re powering ahead with these projects to help support 21,500 jobs, including 13,500 in our regions.” Premier Palaszczuk said.
“These infrastructure projects are not only playing an essential role in leading our economic recovery by creating local jobs but they’re critical to cater for our growing communities.”
Premier Palaszczuk said her government was committed to supporting a pipeline of upgrades to improve travel times on the Centenary Motorway.
“More than 35,000 vehicles use this stretch of road daily and I want people to be able to get home sooner and safer so they can spend more time with their families.” Premier Palaszczuk said.
Member for Mount Ommaney Jess Pugh is thrilled to see this major milestone achieved.
“New bridge will be a welcome sight for many local families and commuters are heading back to work for the first time in weeks.” Ms. Pugh said.
“This milestone is concrete evidence of the Palaszczuk government’s action on traffic congestion and I am really pleased to deliver this project in my first term.”
“Our community has waited so long for this project, and I am really pleased that we have been able to continue working though the Health Emergency. It is so exciting to see the first bridge finished, and I can’t wait to see the second bridge underway soon.”
“In total, the Sumners Road project would need 17,000 tonnes of asphalt, 6,000 tonnes of concrete and 36 girders and it’s local businesses and 105 workers who will build it.”
Minister for Transport and Main Roads Mark Bailey said the major milestone would pave the way for the next stage of the project to begin: the demolition of the old bridge, and the construction of a new eastbound-four lane overpass.
“The LNP cut this project, and if they had their way that would mean 105 less jobs, and no business for many Queensland companies.” Minister Bailey said.
“Thanks to the advocacy of local MP Jess Pugh, this government restored funding and right from the get go, we’ve seen Queensland businesses get involved in this project from the Brisbane-based major contractor right down to the bridge girders being produced at Seventeen Mile Rocks.”
Sumners Road overpass project is on-track for completion next year, and once complete will include:
- New signalised intersections that will replace the 2 existing roundabouts
- New 2-lane eastbound bridge
- New 4-lane bridge with provisions for pedestrians and active transport users (replacing the existing westbound bridge)
- Cycle track will be built as an underpass below the western intersection and will link up with the Centenary Motorway Bikeway.

Check out appoLearning.com, because your kids deserve the very best educational apps!
Sometimes an app blows you away because it doesn't look like anything else out there, but sometimes an app catches your eye because it has a certain "aw shucks" cute factor — a quirkiness missing from your app collection. Storm in a Teacup is a very cute platform game.
Its protagonist, after all, is a storm that floats around in a magical teacup. But the light-hearted visuals extend to the gameplay world, too, where bright greens and yellows are the order of the day. Elements of the world have a sort of pop-up quality to them, similar to the graphics in Little Big Planet, although not quite as impressive. The whole game just feels very welcoming, visually.
The gameplay of Storm in a Teacup is fairly inviting, as well. Platform games are rarely frustratingly difficult these days, and Storm is no exception, but it does pack quite a challenge if you take the time to look for it. Although each level can be completed fairly quickly if your only goal is to get to the end, there are numerous collectible items that are in some pretty hard-to-reach places, even in early, difficult stages.
Collecting these bonus items should provide all the challenge you'll need. Especially as some of them require a double jump that, in this reviewer's humble opinion, is inconsistent at best. Either the game's double jump is so minor that it hardly feels like an extended jump at all or it's just wildly difficult to perform correctly. Whatever the case, you'll need to get it down pat if you want to grab every item a level offers.

A proposed ballot initiative that would expand the portability of property-tax assessments under Proposition 13 has received the backing of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, the group that led the successful tax revolt that achieved voter approval of the iconic property-tax limitation measure in 1978.
The initiative sponsored by the California Association of Realtors would allow homeowners 55 and older who purchase a new home to retain the assessed value of the home they sold, even if their new home is in a different county. Under current law, counties are not required to accept the transfers, and only new homes of equal or lesser value qualify for the transferred base value. Under the new initiative, all counties would accept the transfers, and new homes of greater value would be assessed at a rate that is partly based on the assessed value of the buyer’s prior home.
“We believe upward portability makes a lot of sense especially as property values across California continue to rebound,” said HJTA president Jon Coupal. He said the measure would help California alleviate its current housing crisis by removing a financial barrier that keeps many older homeowners from selling their homes, and many millennials from entering the housing market.
The measure would also allow California homeowners to transfer their base value more than once.
The changes would take effect January 1, 2019, if the proposed ballot measure, titled the People’s Initiative to Protect Proposition 13 Savings, secures enough signatures to appear on the November 2018 ballot and is approved by voters.

Book DescriptionOne of the great ironies of American politics is that George McGovern, one of the most misinterpreted and misunderstood men ever to seek the presidency, was also perhaps one of the most intelligent and far-sighted. Sadly, he is generally remembered for his landslide defeat to Richard Nixon in the 1972 presidential contest. This book is an in-depth analysis of the 1984 Democratic campaign, as well as a detailed discussion of George McGovern's common sense program for America.

Chinese cryptocurrency news aggregation service Bishijie has shuttered its website and app in China to comply with central bank regulations, making it the latest casualty of China’s continuing crackdown on the crypto industry.
Bishijie, whose name translates as “coin world”, announced the suspension of its services last night on its website, saying that in order to comply with cryptocurrency-related regulations published by the People’s Bank of China, and to “actively cooperate with regulators,” it would be “taking corrective measures as required.”
Bishijie provided all kinds of crypto-related information, including news and market prices, and it launched a crypto community forum for investors. According to its own advertising, its app had more than 40 million users.
When Forkast.News checked Bishijie’s website today, it was still accessible to mainland Chinese users, but all the industry information had been deleted, and only the announcement of the suspension remained on its homepage. The crypto community forum page was still available, but nothing had been updated since the announcement was made at 9 p.m. local time yesterday.
According to business information platform Crunchbase, Bishijie was set up in 2017 in Beijing, and raised capital in three rounds of fundraising from investors including FREES FUND and ZhenFund. Its founder and controller is named as Chenhui Tan.
Local media outlets reported that Bishijie had been aiming to expand to the North American and South Korean markets. Hong Kong-registered company CoinNess is believed to be its sole branch outside mainland China. CoinNess’s website said in 2017: “CoinNess’s Chinese version, Bishijie.com, has been launched”.
CoinNess’s site has English- and Korean-language versions that provide crypto news and market information. The English version stopped updating at 9:30 p.m. yesterday, but the Korean version appears to be operating normally. Forkast.News contacted both Bishijie and CoinNess for comment, but had received no reply by press time.
The suspension of Bishijie’s website comes as China continues to crack down on the crypto industry in a campaign that has focused not only on crypto mining and trading, but also on crypto information sources.
On July 6, the Beijing office of the People’s Bank of China published a notice warning that institutions in its jurisdiction were not allowed to provide services such as operational venues, commercial displays, marketing or payment channels for business activities related to cryptocurrencies.
In early June, more than 30 influential Chinese cryptocurrency-related Weibo accounts were blocked. Some of the blocked accounts offered crypto trading information and analysis of the crypto market’s performance, and promoted crypto projects.

Officers have confirmed that ‘cold callers’ by individuals claiming to be from various banks defrauded elderly people in Edinburgh.
The victims were informed that there were problems with their investments and security concerns were raised.
They are then asked to create a new bank account to merge their funds and transfer their money to this new account.
It also happens that the fraudster tries to download software on the electronic device of the victim to control his money.
The funds are then transferred into cryptocurrency.
The number of high-value frauds has led police to issue advice to help people be more vigilant.
In a social media post, they wrote: “Audiences need to remember these 4 key points:
“Banks don’t cold call customers with such instructions.
“The public should fully protect their savings from criminals.
“Do not act on instructions provided by unknown callers.
“Do not give callers any personal information that would allow them to access your finances.
“If in doubt about the legitimacy of the callers, contact your bank branch, bank customer service or investment company directly.”

NEW TO NETFLIX! As rent continues to skyrocket and growing gentrification beings to suffocate their beloved Bronx, “Lil Mayor” Miguel (Jaden Michael), teams up with his two best friends, Bobby (Gerald Jones III) and Luis (Gregory Diaz IV), to save their neighborhood. But in a place where “nobody would care if you just disappeared,” there seems to be a lot of disappearances. The investigation is on as the three friends begin to uncover plans of the mysterious Murnau company. Between ducking creatures of the night and a rising body count, only one thing can be certain: “We got vampires in the Bronx.”
Opening with Miguel’s attempts to save the local bodega, Vampires Vs. The Bronx tells the story of three friends living through socioeconomic strife and clinging to the life they hold dearest. After Miguel witnesses a vampire attack, he soon realizes he will have to save The Bronx from more than just rising rent. Quickly getting an education in vampire slaying from a Blade marathon, it’s off to kill “Suckheads.” With Bobby and Luis as backup, Miguel leads his friends in the spirit of community, class, and – most of all – killing every vampire they find.
“…the three friends begin to uncover plans of the mysterious Murnau company.”
Vampires Vs. The Bronx is an excellent example of a Gen Z vampire film; as it turns out, “Zoomer” humor and monster movie troupes work really well together. The banter of Michael, Jones III, and Diaz IV flows so naturally throughout the film – the chemistry is undeniable. Even with our main characters’ witty lines, the film finds moments to talk about broader issues facing the community, such as class struggles, gentrification, and gang presence within the neighborhood. Balancing these real-world problems with the battling creatures of the night can be a difficult balance, but Vampires Vs. The Bronx finds ways to balance this with style and tons of humor.
First and foremost, I love vampire films and thoroughly enjoyed my experience watching Vampires Vs. The Bronx. It has enough subtle and even not so subtle homages to classic vampire films to please any fan of The Lost Boys or the characters’ inspiration, Blade. The montage of the kids learning the “vampire rules” is so Edgar Wright influenced and hilarious that I rewound the film to see it again.
The film has some moments of cliché, and the final showdown is a bit of a letdown compared to other classic monster films. Beyond these small shortcomings, Vampires Vs. The Bronx is a great way to introduce your kids or pre-teens to the vampire genre, and a fun look at how Gen Z plans to deal with armies of the undead.

House defense bill includes acquisition reform
- By Sean Lyngaas
- May 15, 2015
A $612 billion defense authorization bill passed by the House on May 15 is “an initial step in a long-term effort to inject greater flexibility and accountability into the acquisition system,” according to a House Armed Services Committee summary of the legislation.
The bill’s passage by a 269-151 margin is a signpost in House Armed Services Chairman Mac Thornberry’s quest to reform the process by which the Pentagon spends tens of billions annually on weapons and IT. The Texas Republican had indicated his intent to fold acquisition legislation he introduced in March into the fiscal 2016 defense authorization bill, and he has done just that.
The House defense bill would require every major defense acquisition program to have a strategy that covers risk management and encourages competition throughout the lifecycle of a program.
The House defense bill also includes Thornberry’s proposal to create a “dual-track” career path for military officers involving both combat and acquisition experience. That provision would “more closely align the military operational, requirements, and acquisition workforces of each armed force,” the bill says.
But the Defense Department’s top acquisition official, Undersecretary Frank Kendall, has criticized this proposal as not allowing for enough specialization within the DOD acquisition workforce.
The Senate Armed Services Committee approved its version May 14 on a 22-4 vote. The Senate bill also harps on acquisition reform and, like its House counterpart, would give the service chiefs a greater role in the acquisition process, “decentralizing to the maximum extent practicable decision-making authority to the services,” according to a committee summary.
But here again Kendall has expressed skepticism, saying recently that he has “seen some very disastrous cases” in which service chiefs have set arbitrary dates for program deliverables, leading to undue risk-taking.
The defense authorization package still faces several hurdles before it can become law, including a vote in the full Senate, reconciliation with the House version of the bill, and the signature of President Barack Obama, who has threatened a veto of the House bill.

Two projects will provide additional places for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), while 2 other schemes will improve the learning environment by replacing temporary classrooms at infant schools.
Under the proposals, the capacity of the existing Resource Base at Aldersley High School, which supports pupils aged 11 to 16 with autistic spectrum disorder or speech, language and communication needs, will increase by five places, meaning it can support 25 pupils from September 2023.
An additional Early Years/Key Stage One class is proposed for Penn Hall School, which supports children aged 3 to 19 who have a range of additional needs. If approved, the school will have the capacity to support an additional eight children from September.
Meanwhile, temporary classrooms which are reaching the end of their usable lives are set to be replaced at both Christ Church CE Infant School and Nursery and Westacre Infant School, ensuring that pupils from Early Years onwards are taught in high quality environments.
The planned investment at Aldersley, Penn Hall and Westacre schools is valued at around £800,000. A feasibility study is required at Christ Church to determine costs. The proposals will be presented members of the council’s Cabinet on Wednesday (22 March, 2023).
Councillor Chris Burden, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for Education, Skills and Work, said: “Having access to a good education is incredibly important to our children and young people, and all of these schemes contribute to a key thread of our Council Plan, which is to create strong families where children grow up well and achieve their full potential.
“At Penn Hall we are proposing to provide additional capacity to ensure that it can continue to meet a rising demand for places for children and young people with SEND in our city.
“This is alongside plans to expand the resource base at Aldersley High School which will mean we can give more children with SEND the chance to learn alongside their mainstream peers and siblings, while also benefitting from the expertise of a wider range of therapeutic interventions and support services to help them progress.
“Meanwhile, the replacement of the temporary classrooms at Christ Church CE Infant School and Nursery and Westacre Infant School are also important as we ensure we can provide the best learning environment possible for our children and young people."

SUBURBAN BOCA RATON, Fla.---Isabella Saviotti is excited to be in the classroom this summer. She and several other students who want to be in the medical field are learning the ins and outs from doctors at West Boca Medical Center.
“Knowing how to tell if someone is having a stroke or putting a splint on someone if they have a broken bone, that was something I never really learned," Saviotti said.
This is the first year West Boca Medical Center has hosted a summer academy for its teen volunteers.
“10 years I see myself as a sports physician pursuing what I really love,” said Ashanti Clumbie.
The medical field is something Boca High School senior Ashanti Clumbie has wanted to do since she was 13. “When I was 13 I was diagnosed with sarcoma cancer," she recalled. “I really got a lot of insight being that young and I’ve had a fascination ever since."
The volunteers usually spend their time in one area of the hospital but the class broadens their knowledge.
“I hope it exposes them to so many different departments that we have here," said West Boca Medical Center Director of Volunteer Services Laura Albertini.
Doctors hope they’re shaping the future of healthcare here at home.
“We hope they come back and serve as our own physicians and nurses here in our community. We hope that we make an impact on them,” said Albertini.
The academy lasts about eight weeks. West Boca Medical Center hopes to put it on again in the future.

On June 6th, the world turned on IPv6 access and left it on. World IPv6 Launch Day was a success according to event organizers from the Internet Society and participating organizations but there is still a lot of work left to be done.
In a conference call discussing the event, Leslie Daigle, CTO of the Internet Society said that now IPv6 is for real.
“Where we are now as opposed to where we were 48 hours ago is that the Internet now functions with IPv6 as part of its regular operation, Daigle said. “We feel comfortable saying that IPv6 is the new normal. But this really is just beginning.”
Over 60 access providers and more than 3,000 websites publicly participated in the Launch event. Those participants have all committed to keeping IPv6 running as part of normal business operations.
IPv6 at Google and Facebook Growing
In terms of IPv6 traffic, that also is now beginning to grow, though it’s still currently standing at approximately 1 percent of all Internet traffic. According to Google Engineer Erik Kline, there has been a rapid growth of IPv6 at Goggle. For Google, IPv6 traffic has grown by 150 percent in the last year.
“At this rate, approximately 50 percent of users will have IPv6 in six years,” Kline said.
Comcast’s John Brzozowski, Distinguished Engineer and Chief Architect for IPv6 said that on his network there was a 3.75 percent increase in IPv6 traffic compared to World IPv6 Day in 2011.
Facebook also participated in the World IPv6 Launch. Donn Lee, network engineer at Facebook said his site has seen over 27 million active Facebook users that have IPv6.
“That’s a number that is three to five times what it was on World IPv6 Day, twelve months ago,” Lee said.
For Content Delivery Network Akamai, the IPv6 traffic growth has been even great.
“The amount of traffic we have over IPv6 is a function of how many customers we have that have content available over IPv6 as well as how many end-users there are,”Eric Nygren, Chief Systems Architect at Akamai said. “We’ve seen both of those go up such that the amount of traffic, we’re serving over IPv6 this year is over 100 times as much as we were serving during World IPv6 Day last year.”
The message that Vint Cerf, Internet luminary and evangelist at Google stressed is that IPv6 is ready. Cerf said that the core design for IPv6 was done over 20 years ago and it has taken this long for it to get launched. At this point, thanks to the World IPv6 Launch event and the participation and enablement of carriers, end points and websites, Cerf is anticipating faster growth.
One of the ways he expects growth to occur among the laggards is by way of public embarrassment. With the biggest websites and service providers in the world now enabling IPv6 all the time by default, Cerf expect that those that aren’t IPv6 enabled will be embarrassed if they are not IPv6. Additionally as increasing numbers of end points attempt to join the network, there is an obvious need for IPv6 access and services and that will further drive adoption.
At this point, Cert was adamant that the time for IPv6 is now here.
“There are no more excuses, you have to be able to run IPv6 all the time and anytime cause this won’t get turned off,” Cerf said. “For any ISP, if you aren’t capable of running IPv6, you’re on notice. Get going. Get IPv6 running.”
