In the tabs below we provide a user friendly explanation for the important provisions in a Shareholders Contract .
The Company's Memorandum of Incorporation is vitally important in relation to many of the topics discussed below. As a result, the Memorandum of Incorporation and the Shareholders Contract should be prepared at the same time.
The ContractZone Shareholders Contract is not only comprehensive, but it also includes a detailed Memorandum of Incorporation that is entirely consistent with the Shareholders Contract.
Although the Companies Act, 2008 provides for directors to be appointed by a majority of Shareholders, it is common practice for Shareholders Contracts to specify how such appointment will take place. The most common variations are: (1) permitting a Shareholder to appoint 1 director for each stated % of the shares held by that Shareholder; (2) permitting a Shareholder to appoint 1 director if it has more than X% of the Shares; and (3) appointing based solely on majority vote. The Shareholder Contract (and MOI) must specify these parameters.
While the Companies Act 2008 does regulate the standards applicable to Directors conduct, it is important to flesh many of these out in the Shareholder Contract . Included in these are the disclosure of related party agreements, the requirements for being entitled to conclude contracts in the name of the Company with entities that are related to a Director and the circumstances under which the Company can bind itself as a Surety to a related party. Another important aspect is the circumstances under which a Director is obliged to offer a corporate opportunity to the Company before taking it up itself.
Voting at Board Level is very important. While you may conduct your business entirely on a collaborative basis and seldom have reason to take a formal vote, it is important to know exactly how directors votes will work. You can grant each director a single vote, or you can provide that a shareholder will vote in accordance with the percentage shareholding held by the Shareholder that nominated the Director.
Shares & Shareholders
- Death, Disability, Retirement & other Triggers
- Pre-Emptive Rights Generally
- Shareholder Resolutions
- Capital & Loan Accounts
What happens to your shares if you die? Now you might say that they pass to your spouse and/or children, but if the shoe is on the other foot, would you want to be in business with your co-shareholder's spouse and/or children? This question is even more important in businesses where the shareholders are actively involved on a day-to-day basis. We believe that it is vital that the Shareholder Contract (and the MOI) clearly determine what will happen with the shares of a deceased, disabled, retiring or insolvent Shareholder. Is there an obligation to buy the shares or is it just an option? Also, how will be purchase price be determined and by who? More than almost any other clauses in a Shareholder Contract , these provisions highlight the importance of concluding a Shareholders Agreement. This tab must be read in conjunction with the "Pre-Emptive Rights Generally" tab.
Pre-Emptive rights are very important provisions in any agreement between shareholders. They regulate the circumstances under which a shareholder may sell his or her shares. Importantly, these provisions normally make it clear that a shareholder must offer to sell its shares to the remaining shareholders on a pro rata basis before it can offer the shares to a third party. More complicated Pre-Emptive rights provisions include options in favour of specified persons and either the price of the sale or the mechanism by which the sale will occur. Other important Pre-Emptive Rights provisions relate to when a majority can compel the minority to sell to a third party - for example - if an offer is made for 70% the remainder must sell, and when the minorities can compel the majority to ensure that they get the same deal - for example - if an offer is made for only 70% of the shares, the majority can only accept if they procure the same deal for the remaining shareholders. Forced sales & options are dealt with in this article under the tab "Death, Disability, Retirement & other Triggers".
Shareholder Resolutions are typically set at +50% for an ordinary resolution and +75% for a special resolution. So depending on your shareholder structure, you may choose to have a long list of Special Resolution items, or none at all (save for those prescribed by the Companies Act, 2008). Various other parameters are important, for example: who may call a Shareholder Meeting, how many days notice is required, where are meetings held and can they be held electronically, etc.
The regulation of capital in the business and the provision of Shareholder funding is important. Similarly, the interest provisions and the circumstances under which loans will be repaid are important.
Dispute Resolution & General Provisions
As stated above, it is vital that the Shareholder Contract and the MOI are prepared together. Many Shareholders Agreements, particularly those that predate the current Companies Act, are inconsistent with the MOI which can have serious negative consequences.
Shareholder disputes are often like divorces. They can be very expensive and take a long time to get resolved. If they are not dealt with in an arbitration, the documentation as well as the evidence is part of the public domain. An arbitration is private. Moreover, the arbitration is generally a speedier remedy than the Court driven process.
The commonly held view that restraint of trade agreements are automatically invalid is incorrect. Whether you choose to conclude a restraint of trade as part of the Shareholder Contract, or separately, we believe that at the very least, substantial shareholders should be bound to reasonable restraints of trade.

The Quality Inn where dozens have paid for Jessie to stay. (Jan. 24, 2014/FOX Carolina)
ANDERSON, SC (FOX Carolina) -
Morning and night hundreds drive down N. Main Street in Anderson and while doing so pass a elderly homeless man named Jessie on their way.
Jessie has been living near various businesses on the street on and off for years. According to several people who have stopped and talked to him, he is Vietnam War veteran who served the country for nine years.
Anderson resident Bud Hanley chose to stop and talk to Jessie this week, and discovered he has no place to go when the temperatures fall below freezing.
"He said sometimes I have a place to go. Sometimes I find a place out of the wind, and sleep a little bit," said Hanley.
Determined to do something to help Jessie, Hanley expressed his feelings on Facebook.
"Within just a few minutes tons of people started to respond with comments and messages, text messages in support of doing something for him," said Hanley.
Just 24 hours later, a huge community effort developed a fund for Jessie to stay at the Quality Inn on N. Main Street. At press time donations had come in to provide Jessie with more than 60 nights lodging.
"The outpour of support is amazing, we're using both phone lines," said Latasha Leonard, a front desk receptionist at the Quality Inn. "People calling in paying with their credit cards, paying for one night, two nights and even five nights."
The people involved in helping say they hope others are inspired to pay it forward, and do good deeds in their communities as well.
"It's just about following your heart," said Hanley. "If there's something on your heart to do, go ahead and do it. Put it out there, there's a lot of good people that will have your back."
Hanley is just one of the several people that helped get this effort up and running.
The community has also started a tab for Jessie at the Waffle House connected to the Quality Inn on N. Main Street. If you would like to help out, you can call the Quality Inn at 864-226-6051.

The New Normal will bring together voices from academic, social services, healthcare, policy and individuals with lived experiences to enable a holistic examination of the following areas of focus:
Life Cycle of Misinformation (consumers vs contributors)
This conference will explore the ways in which misinformation continues to feed itself forward through its contributors and consumers. Contributors of misinformation come from a variety of backgrounds including politics, the media, and research publications. Being able to understand the grassroots agendas within each of these institutions is key to developing an eye for misinformation. The conference strives to highlight ways in which consumers can better filter through information and break the misinformation life cycle by being more critical of the available information.
Community Solidarity (privilege and access- building trust)
This conference will explore ways in which allyship and community solidarity can help to bring forth trust amongst underrepresented communities who have long been pushed to the margins by systematic leaders. We will discuss strategies in which political and health leaders can improve the communication and dissemination of public health information in a more sensitive and co-participatory fashion. Moreover, the conference will provide its attendees with insight on acknowledging implicit privileges and leveraging this domain to become allies and help in rebuilding trust.
The Politics of Misinformation (role of the government – policies, regulations)
We will examine the role of the government at helping to manage the misinformation crisis throughout the pandemic. By doing this we will discuss policies, regulations and political agendas which could influence the way in which the public understands the dissemination of public health information and misinformation. Consequently, we hope to better equip future public health workers with the skills of how to approach future information crises.
Social Media and the Internet
Having social media and the internet at our fingertips, we can share anything with anyone, anywhere. Through the conference, we will examine methods in which the internet and various social media platforms have played a crucial role in the circulation of COVID-19 misinformation. There will be discussion on how a global health emergency can lead to an “infodemic” and an overabundance of information for the public to navigate. This conference will give attendees a look into how many Canadian researchers, science communicators and health providers took the initiative and worked tirelessly to stop the spread of COVID-19 misinformation.
We will explore how data is collected, analyzed, and managed in the context of a global pandemic. Despite the endless possibilities of using robust health data to drive improvements to care, COVID-19 has proven that there is still a great deal of room for improvement. Issues surrounding current data management and validation strategies will be discussed, with real world examples provided on how healthcare professionals attempted to improve data management strategies in light of the pandemic. Emphasis on data quality and data sharing will be explored to understand some of the crucial pain points in data management during a public health crisis. Examples include:
- Shortcomings in comprehensive data collection during the COVID-19 pandemic (ex. Initial lack of race-based data or data surrounding vulnerable populations such as those in LTC settings)
- Fact-checking different data sources on COVID-19 health information, such as COVID-19 case reports, vaccine efficacy, etc.
- Data-driven solutions that supported public health initiatives during COVID-19
We will explore the concept of health communication during the COVID-19 pandemic, from a local and national perspective. Through the conference, we seek to understand effective communication strategies that helped bolster mitigation strategies for COVID-19, improve public trust, and improved adherence to public health guidelines. In addition, we will investigate ineffective strategies and recommendations that different stakeholders in our healthcare system must take in order to ensure improved communication for future public health crises. Examples include:
- The Ontario government and public health officials’ role in disseminating health information to the public, including updates of COVID-19 cases, vaccines, and more.
- Health communication challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic
- The health literacy of Ontarians and various factors to be considered when developing an effective communication strategy

text: In a scathing critique, the Free Software Foundation is urging the U.S. Government to drop the DMCA's anti-circumvention provisions which protect DRM. From a report on TorrentFreak:Late last year the U.S. Copyright office launched a series of public consultations to review critical aspects of the DMCA law. FSF sees no future for DRM and urges the Copyright Office to repeal the DMCA's anti-circumvention provisions. "Technological protection measures and Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) play no legitimate role in protecting copyrighted works. Instead, they are a means of controlling users and creating 'lock in'," FSF's Donald Robertson writes. According to FSF, copyright is just an excuse, the true purpose is to lock down and control users. "Companies use this control illegitimately with an eye toward extracting maximum revenue from users in ways that have little connection to actual copyright law. In fact, these restrictions are technological impediments to the rights users have under copyright law, such as fair use." Even if copyright was the main concern, DRM would be an overbroad tool to achieve the goal, the foundation notes. FSF highlights that DRM is not just used to control people but also to spy on them, by sending all kinds of personal data to technology providers. This is done to generate extra income at the expense of users' rights, they claim. "DRM enables companies to spy on their users, and use that data for profit," Robertson adds. "DRM is frequently used to spy on users by requiring that they maintain a connection to the Internet so that the program can send information back to the DRM provider about the user's actions," he adds.

“The coolest thing about Wicked Inquisition is their ability to take cues from classic doom and proto-metal acts without allowing their homage to mutate into a gimmick. While the current trends in retro fetishism skew toward riff-flogging fuzziness and meandering compositions, this band veers in the opposite direction. The guitars are driving and upfront, the songwriting taut and clear-cut, and the whole thing is delivered with power, not through puffs of bongsmoke.”

The current challenges of structural biophysics include determining the structure of large self-assembled complexes, resolving the structure of ensembles of complex structures and their mass fraction, and unraveling the dynamic pathways and mechanisms leading to the formation of complex structures from their subunits. Modern synchrotron solution X-ray scattering data enable simultaneous high-spatial and high-temporal structural data required to address the current challenges of structural biophysics. These data are complementary to crystallography, NMR, and cryo-TEM data. However, the analysis of solution scattering data is challenging; hence many different analysis tools, listed in the SAS Portal (http://smallangle.org/), were developed. In this review, we start by briefly summarizing classical X-ray scattering analyses providing insight into fundamental structural and interaction parameters. We then describe recent developments, integrating simulations, theory, and advanced X-ray scattering modeling, providing unique insights into the structure, energetics, and dynamics of self-assembled complexes. The structural information is essential for understanding the underlying physical chemistry principles leading to self-assembled supramolecular architectures and computational structural refinement.

The Book of Mormon is the ancient history of this people, telling of their wars, movements, kings, and their religion—which was the religion of Israel, for these people were Israelites and practiced the law of Moses.
These people are called the Inuit (sometimes known in the past as Eskimos). From early times, the Inuit adapted their way of life to the frozen land and sea of the Arctic. There they hunted for caribou (reindeer), seals, birds, and fish. In the winter, when snow and ice lay on the ground, they lived in blocks of hard-packed snow, called igloos.
How Inuit Parents Raise Kids Without Yelling — And Teach Them To Control Anger: Goats and Soda At the top of the world, the Inuit culture has. This book is an in-depth historical survey of the Indians of the United States, including the Eskimos and Aleuts of Alaska, which isolates and analyzes the problems which have beset these people since their first contacts with Europeans.
Only in the light of this knowledge, the author points out, can an intelligent Indian policy be formulated.5/5(2).The Aleuts lived on ice-free waters, but the Inuit (who are also known as the Eskimo) were surrounded by the icy northern seas of Western Alaska.
As a result, the Inuit were more mobile that the Aleuts. One distinguishing feature of the Inuit Eskimo, family, in Alaska was their near total dependence on the sea.

Professing love for Bob James' music can yield a side-eye in some circles. Jazz purists routinely view the keyboardist's 1970s period as a progenitor to smooth jazz â€” an idiom they frequently react to as if it were a sign of the apocalypse.
In New Orleans, it's cool to be in the high school band â€” especially when Trombone Shorty shows up in the band room.
The brass player and bandleader recently paid a visit to New Orleans' Warren Easton High School to work with band members. It's part of his work with the Trombone Shorty Foundation, a music education initiative.
"[Trombone Shorty] is, without a doubt, the role model for the next generation right now," says Bill Taylor, the foundation's executive director.
Jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal started playing when he was 3 years old in Pittsburgh, which means he's now been playing for 80 years. His new album, Saturday Morning, often recalls his elegant trios of yesteryear, with its tightly synchronized arrangements, plenty of open space and deceptively simple charm.
On this episode of Piano Jazz, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Carline Ray is Marian McPartland's guest for a session recorded in 1997. The two veteran performers get together to perform a set including tunes by Duke Ellington, the Gershwins, Jimmy Van Heusen & Johnny Burke, and more.
Originally published on Fri June 20, 2014 10:09 am
This episode of JazzSet was recorded at the 18th edition of the Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Festival at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Dee Dee Bridgewater is the emcee, while WBGO's Rhonda Hamilton serves as our co-host.
Since playing on John Coltrane's first release in 1957, drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath has participated in a number of landmark jazz records. Now 78, the musician is featured in a new trio session with players nearly half his age â€” pianist Ethan Iverson of The Bad Plus and bassist Ben Street.
Like a piece of gym equipment that always yields a great workout, most musicians have favorite tunes. For saxophonist Ravi Coltrane, "Who Wants Ice Cream" by trumpeter Ralph Alessi has proven especially fertile, drawing him back again and again since he recorded it as part of the album Spirit Fiction.

Earn Your Pension
May 14 , 2013
May 14 , 2013
Unless you are a government employee you would have to custom-create your pension plan. A pension plan should ideally give you decent returns beating inflation rate and on retirement protect your capital and give regular returns. Pension plans (called annuity plans) are available with life insurance companies but these have high charges and have very low yield.
So you had rather made your own pension plan with careful planning. An ideal pension would have the following features:
1. Returns beating inflation during accumulation phase
During the 20-25 years that you invest for your pension your investment should earn returns that are higher than inflation rate. For such returns investment will have to be exposed to the markets.
2. Low charges
High charges can eat away into your final pension amount. In annuities from life insurers charges are first deducted from your premiums before they are invested. Mutual funds have lower charges than most annuities. Presently NPS is the cheapest pension product with around 0.5% annual charge.
3. Tax efficiency
You don't want to pay income tax once your earning period is over. Your pension plan should minimize tax outgo. EPF and PPF score on this point; both have tax exemption on withdrawals.
4. Regular stream of income
This is of much significance too. You could have crores of rupees in shares but it does not guarantee you would get stable monthly income from your retirement date. As retirement draws near you need to create a plan to move your investments systematically to products that offer security of capital as well as convenient monthly withdrawal options.
What are your options for a good pension plan? Unfortunately there is no single product that combines all the above features well that we could recommend. NPS is an ideal product except on the tax front but since it has been around less than 5 years you'd rather go slow on it.
If you are 10 years or more away from retirement you can accumulate a good chunk of your pension investment in diversified equity funds. These are market linked and are tax efficient. As you move closer to retirement your investments can be focused in MIPs which have 80-20 equity-debt ratio and have a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) post retirement for monthly income.
And most importantly remember not to touch your pension investments for intermediate requirements.

in the gates of daughter Zion.[a]
16 The nations fall into the pit they dig;
in the snare they hide, their own foot is caught.
17 [b]The Lord is revealed in making judgments:
by the deeds they do the wicked are trapped.(A)

Station #9: Jesus Falls the Third Time.
Jesus falls again…
It is only in our brokenness that we truly realize the only help we have is the Lord.
I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; from where shall my help come? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber Psalm 121:1-3 NASB.
He is our only refuge and strength. Sometimes, our journey in life breaks us; but God is always with us. Even when we cannot trace Him, we can trust Him.
It is when we are totally broken before Him, when we are ready to surrender all to Him; ready to surrender to His will, His purpose, and His ways, that He can use us. Breaking is not the end; it is the beginning of something new from the Lord.
Station nine observes Jesus’ third fall. He is tired and weary but receives strength from His Father in heaven. He knows the only place to go for help. Jesus draws on the Father, and is able to make it to His feet. It does not matter that His enemies are yelling at Him, spitting on Him, and beating Him. They will not hinder Jesus from completing His purpose; we need to follow Jesus’ example. When your enemies have surrounded you, trying to beat you down, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. Keep fighting, even when falling down repeatedly; just get up and keep going.
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 2 Corinthians 4: 8-10
We must keep going as Jesus did. It is a hard journey at times, but we have the Lord’s example. He drew strength from the Father, and made it possible for us to draw strength from Him.
Station #10: Jesus is Stripped
They part my garments among them, and cast lots for my vesture. Psalms 22:18
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seem woven from the top throughout. They said therefore among themselves, let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. John 19: 23-24
This is yet one more humiliation Christ had to endure. He was stripped of His clothing; hanging naked on the cross. A robe is always worn as the symbol of office or authority, and dignifies a man for the office he holds. Christ held the office of the Creator of the world.
“A further picture of His Eternal Deity, His divine Personage, and his matchless grace is seen in the fact that this robe was woven in one piece—it was seamless. This indeed was skillful work. It was the work of a craftsman. But no loom on earth could ever have produced the wonderful fabric of the Incarnate God…His life was seamless. It had no beginning, it knows no end.”
|El Greco 1541-1614|
“Many would like to strip Jesus, or Great High Priest, of His Divinity. But they could not and cannot.”
Jesus laid down His life and was humiliated for us. The Jews didn’t take it from Him, the Romans didn’t take it from Him. He laid down His life no one took it from Him…
This same outer clothing He laid down once before this—
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself. Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?” Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter.” John 13:3-7 NASB
We need to live in humility as Jesus did, and we as believers need to follow Christ’s example and lay aside those things that hinder us from running the race.
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Hebrews 12:1 KJV.
This process hurts and humbles us before the Lord. The Lord does not do it to embarrass us. He does it to cleanse us and to make us whole, restoring us through the stripping process. Though we seem naked, waiting for us is a beautiful garment—a robe of righteousness.
Remember today that Jesus laid aside His life today to be a servant. He laid aside His life
To reconcile us to the Father. He laid aside His life to be the perfect sacrifice for sin, to make it possible for us to approach God. Can you lay aside your life for Him?
Station # 11: Jesus Is Nailed to the Cross
For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me;
They pierced my hands and my feet. Psalms 22:16 NASB
They pierced my hands and my feet. Psalms 22:16 NASB
I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn. Zechariah 12:10 NASB
And one will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your arms?’ Then he will say, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends’. Zechariah 13:6 NASB
Jesus is nailed to the cross. He is the only sacrifice that we will ever need for our sins. The high priest was required to enter the Holy of Holies every year on the Day of Atonement to present a sacrifice for the people of Israel. Not only is Jesus the final Passover Lamb, He is now our High Priest forever. He went to the Father and sprinkled His blood on the Mercy Seat in heaven before God, removing forever the veil of separation between God and man. How fitting that we remember Jesus, our Passover Lamb, that He was nailed to the cross for our exodus from the power of sin on this day.
It is powerful to me that this year, Purim and Easter coincide in the same week. Though the feast of Esther is not a biblical feast, it meant life and death for the Jews. Yet another hell-sent puppet attempted to wipe out the Jews from the face of the Earth. If Haman had succeeded in annihilating the Jews, the Messiah could not put on the robe of human skin and grace this lost world.
That day, as Christ hung on the cross, people throughout Jerusalem were preparing for the Passover, unaware of the events surrounding the crucifixion:
Up until the instant of its occurring, what a busy three hours had passed on Golgotha! The Crucified Himself was busy, if we may use the word. What interest He showed in what was taking place about Him! He was audibly interceding for His crucifiers, listening to the cry for mercy of the dying thief, and answering him in that sublime assurance of salvation; recognizing the presence of His mother and the beloved disciple and executing His last will and testament concerning her and him. The soldiers were busy watching and mocking Him, dividing His garments among them and casting lots for the seamless coat. The chief priests were busy criticizing Pilate’s inscription on the cross and venting their indignation. The scoffers were busy—priests, rulers, and the multitude passing by, wagging their heads, railing and reviling. All the currents of iniquity surged on unchecked around the cross. —William Nicholson The Six Miracles of Calvary
Following the noise and business is three hours of complete and utter darkness. Bone chilling darkness, as Nicholson says, a miracle, a visible suspension of nature. At noon, after three hours of hanging on the cross—all light was absent…
It will come about in that day, declares the Lord GOD, That I will make the sun go down at noon and make the earth dark in broad daylight. Amos 8:9 NASB
What a cruel darkness that must have been for Jesus, yet He endured it to overcome it. The darkness of sin will never hang over you or I because of His precious blood.
The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. John 1:5 NASB
Darkness knows no power over you, Jesus overcame the darkness….

Ozark is a popular crime drama web series starring Jason Bateman and Laura Linney in pivotal roles. Created by Bill Dubuque, it revolves around a married couple who have to relocate the family to the Ozarks as a money laundry scheme goes wrong. As the name suggests, Ozark is set in the Ozarks.
At the beginning of the first season, Marty shifts his family to Osage Beach, Missouri on the Lake of the Ozarks. Besides using some shots of the actual lake, most of the Ozark is filmed in Georgia, including parts of Atlanta and Savannah regions. Here are Ozark’s filming locations that you must know.
While some of the scenes use shots of the actual lake, most of the web series features parts of Atlanta. According to reports, Ozark’s location was inspired by Missouri’s Alhonna Resort. The show’s creator, Bill Dubuque worked as a dock-hand there in the 1980s. Therefore, the show’s crew studied the resort and recreated it on the sets, which is based in Georgia.
At the start of season one, Marty takes over a diner known as The Blue Cat, for his drug operation. Initially, the diner was created for the show. But now it exists as a functioning restaurant called J.D.’s on the Lake. This diner has also kept the Blue Cat signage from the filming of Ozark Netflix.
In the first season of Ozark, Agent Petty visits a vintage diner. Based in Atlanta, this place is one of the Ozark filming locations, known by the name The Silver Skillet. This posh restaurant is quite popular and favourite among the locals. It has also been used for other film sets and television series.
One of the Ozark filming locations, Chateau Elan is located 45 minutes to the north of Atlanta. It is a manicured resort, which is known to Ozark fans as lord Del’s home, a Mexican crime lord. Have a look.
Another lake which features in Ozark is Lake Lanier. It is in Georgia. Filming of the Byrde’s house takes place in Van Pugh North Park, which is located on the south edge of the lake.

I have a “new” article up on the articles page. It was actually first printed in the Riverdale News in 1935 but it has not seen the light of day for quite some time as the paper has yet to be digitized. It contains the first installment in a series of articles written by J.B. James, who grew up in Riverdale in the 1860’s.
If you are interested in the natural history of the area or Van Cortlandt Park, this one has some good stuff. The articles to follow get a bit more into the social history. Here’s the link: https://kingsbridgehistoricalsociety.org/old-resident-tells-of-former-days-part-1/

I found an image of J. B. James house on Post Road at NYPL Digital Gallery
May 7, 2020 at 8:00 pm #1409
In the first photo that you found you can see a retaining wall that is still there. It is the wall for Bertino Memorial Field at the Riverdale Country Day School. This Google street-view shows the same spot (note the wall on the left):
It looks like J.B. James beautiful childhood home was knocked down for the construction of the Henry Hudson Parkway–right around the time he wrote this memoir. Explains some of the nostalgia.

Thanks for posting Nick. Great stories, and each leads to more photos. Starting with crabbing by the Kingsbridge Hotel ..
The view is likely from the Farmers Bridge and dated 1909. They are fishing in a spot that is now between two of the buildings of the Marble Hill Houses. The Kingsbridge Hotel is at the left.
This is just a guess, but the yellow circle on this 1879 map might be Sheep Barn Bridge where J. B. James caught the fine trout.
This ca 1902 view is looking south from the north end of the lake. These may be the large oaks in the foreground, or those may have been from an earlier time. I believe the mills are still standing among the elms at the center of this photo, which likely makes it earlier than 1902
This 1899 view shows the elm trees and the mills on the south bank. Is that the large oak overhanging the water?
A view of the mills from the south labeled ca 1902 (the original was reversed)
Close up between the mills, ca 1900
Note about the horse car line Nick, I think the pic you posted is of the more modern trolleys that ran down Broadway from Getty Square until the 1950s. The horse-car trolleys were much earlier. You can see the overhead power feed in your pic and this one..
J. B. James mentions Godwin island. This pic is after the tree is gone, and after a footbridge has been constructed across the island. No sign of the swan though.
The house on the right in this pic seems to match the description of Warner’s Store
This photo is labeled “former St. Matthew’s Church” and appears to show the building behind 2601 Broadway in 1925, possibly the Methodist Church Bethel described by J. B. James.
He refers to Winter activities at VCP becoming more popular, this was due to folks taking the 9th Avenue elevated to the 155th St terminus by the Polo Grounds, then boarding the New York City and Northern Railroad (The Putnam Line) to VCP. The IRT didn’t reach VCP until 1907, so crowds before then would have arrived via the Putnam Line at this station, seen here looking west in 1904.
View looking northeast at the station in 1904.
The station is out of frame to the lower left in this photo
Opposite view from above
The refreshment stand, seen ca 1895

You have a real gift for finding photos, Alan.
I cannot believe you found a photo of Warner’s Store. I have been looking for one for YEARS. That store was the center of the neighborhood of Mosholu. The owner, Matthias Warner, also ran the post office and I’ve seen his name as a witness to legal documents of the Van Cortlandt family. One thing I wonder is if this is the same Warner family that lived in North Riverdale during the Revolution and served in the local militia. I imagine it is although I have never made a genealogical connection.
The below painting of the Van Cortlandt House in the 1840s hangs in the gift shop of the Van Cortlandt House Museum. I have always been curious about the buildings in the background. On the far left there is a columned building that would be somewhere just west of Broadway, perhaps on the Albany Post Road. It seems to have the same general shape and neo-classical look as the Warner’s Store photo but it looks like it is farther north.
On the right of the house are the barns that are on the southern end of the parade grounds. Between the barns and the mansion are some buildings that were out on the parade ground. I remember reading that there was a farmhouse among them and it would not surprise me if the “sheep barn bridge” is out there as you suggest.
As for the tracks on Broadway, I somehow missed the electric lines overhead–good catch.

National and federal agencies collect the majority of the world’s real-time hydrological data. They develop the scientific standards for collecting and managing water data across nations. They set the polices that regulate the sustainable management, distribution, and protection of precious water resources. The reliable, standardized data they produce is used to explain climate change and protect against natural hazards. Today’s national and federal authorities are collecting vast amounts of real-time water data. They trust Aquatic Informatics to improve the timeliness, reliability, and accuracy of their water records.
Leading national agencies trust Aquatic Informatics
We are excited to have selected Aquatic Informatics to provide us with a modern water data management system. By updating our system, AQUARIUS will allow for the integrated and seamless management of water data collection through the data lifecycle. It will improve data accessibility across 14 offices. Rating curve development and maintenance will be enhanced. And, metadata will be centralized with raw and processed data. AQUARIUS will allow NIWA to determine data quality and accuracy in near real-time, while allowing us to track data corrections and changes.

When people in the Christian churches talk about gender roles, it often ends up being a discussion about women and submission. If you’ve been keeping up with these discussions even a little, you’ve surely learned that good Christian women should view their role as a blessing. You’ve been told that submission isn’t a dirty word, but rather part of God’s ordained order for the church and the family. When we submit, we’re following the example of Jesus Christ and putting ourselves under His authority.
Even though I still hear ministers joke about how discussing submission will get them in trouble, I actually talk with very few women in the churches today who haven’t embraced, or at least acknowledge, the value of being a virtuous woman with a meek and gentle spirit. We might disagree on exactly what it looks like and we all still have much to learn about being godly women (though it really should be simple — a godly woman is a woman who’s following God), but we have a pretty good idea what our gender role is.
We talk about men’s roles in the church far less often (at least from what I’ve heard and seen). Women hear “submission is a good thing. It’s not always easy but it’s part of God’s plan and sometimes you just have to do it.” But how often do men hear, “leadership is a good thing. It’s not always easy but it’s part of God’s plan and sometimes you just have to do it”?
I wonder if one reason we overlook this is because we don’t understand why men might not want to take on their role as head, lover, provider, and protector. We might think, Why wouldn’t men want to be the ones in charge? Isn’t it much easier to “love your wife” than “submit to your husband”? They should be thankful they get to be leaders in the family and that they’re the ones who hold public ministry positions. After all, that’s the role everyone wants. That’s why we have to talk about submission for woman so much, because otherwise she’d be trying to steal men’s role, right?
But maybe that’s not an accurate viewpoint. Maybe both genders are tempted to shirk the responsibilities God has given us and avoid living up to His expectations. Maybe this is a human struggle we all share, and which also impacts how we live as godly men and women.
Balance vs. Extremes
As I’m so fond of saying on this blog, people tend toward extremes. Instead of finding balance, we tip toward one side or the other. We all know about the type of extreme masculinity that takes the idea of leadership/headship and turns it into aggressive despotism dominating women and other men. That’s the “toxic masculinity” our culture is so (rightly) against. But going to the other extreme isn’t good either, and that’s what has been encouraged all too often in the churches as well as the world.
We think of the emasculation of men as a modern thing, but it’s not. People have never been in balance with God’s plan. We’re always fighting it. We had the male sentimentality movement in the 18th Century and now we have the movement to destroy gender entirely, especially strong masculinity. I’m sure there have been others, but these are the two I’m most familiar with (I studied female author’s reactions to sentimentality and now I’m living in the other one and seeing the effect it’s having on my father, brother, and male friends).
Giving Men A Break
My train of thought leading to this post started with an article published on Boundless. In “Give Us Guys A Break,” Ross Boone provides an answer to the question “Why aren’t Christian guys asking Christian girls out?” by explaining the emotional turmoil guys are going through. It’s an argument I’d heard before, and the explanation that “asking girls out is too much pressure and I don’t want to risk hurting them” still frustrates me.
As I worked my initial reaction over in my mind, I wondered if maybe this is a deeper issue than just problems in Christian dating. It gets back to the idea of the masculine role involving leadership (which is the reason most Christians say it’s the man’s responsibility to ask a woman out). We don’t talk about giving women a break from their role of submission, so why do we want to encourage men to get comfortable avoiding leadership? Maybe the church should be teaching men how to lead and supporting them in that role, not making excuses for them.
We all have emotional turmoil, fears, and vulnerabilities. That realization should help all of us meet all people where they are and empathize with them, However, stopping at empathy isn’t a truly loving response. We should also encourage others to live up to their potential in God rather than hide in their insecurities (a message I need just as much as my brothers and sisters of faith). And, to be fair to this Boundless author, “Give Guys A Break” does address the need to find security and confidence in God.
I suspect one of the central problems is that the churches have adopted our culture’s views on gender instead of making a concerted effort to conform to God’s standards. We’re all affected by our cultures to a certain extent, and when we’re constantly bombarded with the messages that submission equals female victimhood and that male leadership sets up a society where men become dangerous to civilization it’s hard not to internalize those messages. There’s now a voice in the back of our minds saying that, just perhaps, men really are brutes who will hurt people if they’re allowed to lead.
The church has to stand against this false ideology and teach our young men what it means to be godly men with the same dedication that we’ve been teaching girls how to be godly women. I am seeing more of this in my younger brother’s generation (the ones just graduating from high school), but my heart breaks for so many men closer to my age, and older, who were told they didn’t fit into a very narrow stereotype of “manliness” or who weren’t allowed to be Wild At Heart (which is the title of a book that several young adult Christian men have told me changed their lives). It’s time for the whole church to step up and support men in becoming confident leaders and protectors who are submitted to and following Jesus Christ’s example of Headship. And we should do this for all the men in our churches, not just the ones with an authority role like elder or minister. At the same time, we must also keep in mind that shoving people into stereotypes isn’t healthy either — how we fill our roles will depend on the personalities God has given us and our gifts, as well as our genders. Let’s all be “strong in the Lord and in the power of His might” to do and be what God has called us to, as men, as women, as Christians.

From the Weekly Times: Read the original article here
By Peter Hemphill
GRAIN growers are being asked to act smarter on herbicide use to counter resistance in problem weeds.
The Grains Research and Development Corporation and other industry groups will next week launch WeedSmart, a campaign aimed at encouraging grain growers to better manage herbicide-resistant weeds.
Advisers attending last week’s GRDC research update at Ballarat were told about the new campaign.
GRDC southern panel chairman David Shannon said the WeedSmart campaign centred on the concept that there was a tool box for managing weeds.

The legend continues in Zelda & Chill III. Mikel returns with a third installment in the beloved lofi series, and fourteen brand-new beats from the Legend of Zelda universe.
With the release of Zelda & Chill in 2018, Mikel and GameChops broke new ground. The album was met with overwhelmingly positive reactions and paved the path for many more videogame music and lofi crossovers to come. Mikel released a follow-up, Zelda & Chill II, in 2020 — and it was once again a hit. Now, he returns in Zelda & Chill III: a fourteen-track album filled with classics and deep cuts alike from the Legend of Zelda series.
Zelda & Chill 3 includes tunes from the GameBoy hand-held Link’s Awakening, the Nintendo 64-era Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask, Twilight Princess for GameCube and Wii, and the 2010s’ A Link Between Worlds for 3DS and Breath of the Wild for Nintendo Switch. Composers heard on the album include Koji Kondo, Manaka Kataoka, Yasuaki Iwata, and Toru Minegishi.
“Legend of Lorule” receives a visually stunning music video directed by Mathias Zägel. Shot over two days in Lac de Moiry Switzerland, “Legend of Lorule” features the breathtaking scenery of Oeschinen Lake. Mikel’s arrangement draws from “Lorule Castle” from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds for Nintendo 3DS.
Mikel is a music producer and engineer based in Germany. His sound is characterized by organic grooves and instrumentation, and a minimalist lofi vibe. While the Zelda & Chill series stands as his most popular work, he is also the creator of Poke & Chill, and frequently collaborates with his brother, Jokabi (known for the Chilltendo series).
Zelda & Chill 3 is out October 28th on all stores and streaming platforms! Vinyl pre-orders are available on Bandcamp. Support Mikel and GameChops by streaming, saving, and adding the tracks to your playlists.

From the CLA
In the Summer of 1990, a group of concerned Cheney Lake patrons organized the Cheney Lake Association (CLA). The CLA was formed to address the deteriorating conditions at Cheney Lake. Among the problems addressed by the CLA were: safety and security, erosion, deterioration of Wichita's water supply, lake-side facilities and improvement of the camp sites.
Today the CLA continues to flourish. While boasting a diversified membership of over 500 individuals and corporations; the CLA has continued to focus its efforts on making Cheney Lake on of Kansas', most outstanding recreational attractions.
In addressing their concern, the CLA has actively sought to increase the public awareness of everything Cheney Lake has to offer. The CLA has organized numerous activities designed to encourage responsible use of the lake. Many of these events are co-sponsored by local and national organizations.
The CLA has also been active in a legislative capacity. The CLA and Bob Winkler aim to increase public and private funding and support for the park and reservoir. Additionally, the CLA endeavors to correspond with those individuals and organizations whose decisions Impact Cheney Lake.


Trimble’s GCS900 version 12.7 featuring GradeMax Plus for dozers
First publishedin Aggregates Business Europe
Trimble has introduced a new version of its Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System with performance improvements for dozers.
GCS900 version 12.7 features GradeMax Plus, new technology that increases the overall performance of dozers by allowing the operator to grade faster and more consistently with tighter accuracy. The system uses the Trimble GS420 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor to detect the current rate of acceleration and changes in orientation. Trimble has also increased the rate at which the GCS900 system drives the valves on the dozer for smoother, more consistent control and rapid recovery of the dozer blade so operators can grade higher quality surfaces at even faster speeds. With GradeMax Plus, operators can grade a wider range of complex surfaces without constraints.
For example, operators are free to rotate the dozer blade during work on steep slopes while maintaining constant grading speeds. Ryan Kunisch, marketing director for Trimble, said: “GradeMax Plus technology allows contractors to grade between 35 and 40% faster on average, depending on the dozer type and the material being used.”

- Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara state who been speculated to be desirous of defecting to the APC has made clarifications over the issue
- Matawalle has explained the reasons why he dissolved his cabinet, a move which came as a surprise in Zamfara state
- The politician was declared governor on May 24, 2019, after the Supreme Court disqualified all the APC candidates in the state in the general election of that year
Gusau, Zamfara state – The Zamfara state governor, Bello Matawalle, has reacted to reports claiming that he plans to defect from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on June 12.
He also dismissed the claim that the dissolution of his cabinet was connected to his defection plans.
The governor said:
“I dissolved the cabinet because after two years, it is time to reinvigorate my government for the second half of my tenure.''
Matawalle did not pledge his loyalty to PDP
When questioned if he was making consultations about joining the APC, Matawalle said he was always engaged in consultations with the people and leaders in the state on political issues.
However, the governor was silent on whether he would remain in the PDP.
Meanwhile, Governor Matawalle has approved the suspension of the Emir of Dansadau, Hussaini Umar, and the district head of Nasarawa Mailayi, Bello Wakkala, over alleged ties with bandits in the state.
Daily Nigerian reported that the governor's media aide, Zailani Bappa, said in a statement issued on Monday, May 31, that the suspension was with immediate effect.
The governor also directed the district head of Dansadau, Nasiru Muhammad S/Kudu, to oversee the affairs of the emirate.
In another news, the Zamfara governor attributed the rising cases of banditry in the state to the lack of quick response from security personnel.
Nigerian Tribune reported that the governor added that the state needs more troops to meet up the current security challenges.

Coffee With CASA is an informative session to help potential volunteers learn more
(Reno, Nev.) – The Washoe CASA Foundation is hosting informal and informative sessions to enable potential new volunteers to learn more about advocating for foster children in Washoe County.
Coffee With CASA is held at Swill Coffee Shop located at 3366 Lakeside Ct. in Reno. The schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, May 16, 2017, 5-6:30 p.m.
Saturday, June 17, 2017, Noon-1:30 p.m.
Friday, July 14, 2017, 5-6:30 p.m.
Thursday, August 31, 2017, 4:30-6 p.m.
CASAs are Court Appointed Special Advocates for the Second Judicial District Court’s CASA Program. After training, volunteers are empowered directly by the courts to offer judges critical information they need to ensure that a child’s rights and needs are being attended to while in foster care. Volunteers add great value to the team of professionals working on behalf of these children and are among the most informed people in our community about the needs of abused and neglected children.
There are currently more than 900 children in foster care in Washoe County. These children are better served by the juvenile court when CASA volunteers are available to speak on a child’s behalf.
Potential volunteers for Washoe CASA come from a variety of professional and educational backgrounds, and it is not necessary to have prior legal training. Volunteers must be at least 21 years of age, pass a background check, participate in a 40 hour training program and commit to two years of service.
The Washoe County CASA Program is one of 949 state and local CASA organizations that recruit, train and support CASA volunteers to serve as a voice for abused and neglected children. The Washoe CASA Foundation provides funding for volunteer training, recruitment and community awareness. The Foundation’s financial support has enabled CASA volunteers to secure needed services for their child such as after school tutoring or purchasing clothes or school supplies.
For more information about the Washoe CASA Foundation or to become a volunteer with the Second Judicial Court’s CASA Program, please call 775.328.3298, visit washoecasafoundation.com or attend the Coffee With CASA informational sessions. You can also find Washoe CASA on Facebook.
About Washoe CASA Foundation:
The Washoe CASA Foundation’s mission is to support the Washoe County CASA Program through fundraising, advocacy, outreach and community awareness. The Washoe County CASA Program in the Second Judicial District Court is dedicated to the safety, well-being and best interests of abused, neglected and dependent children who are the subject of judicial proceedings. Appointed by the court, CASA volunteers work diligently to determine what is in the best interest of the child and ensure that positive outcomes are achieved. The CASA volunteer’s commitment is to only one or two children at a time. Low caseloads mean advocates can give each child’s case the personal attention that is often not possible in the social services system.

Kyle Wilber, the first of the Cowboys’ two fourth-round picks, has experience at both defensive end and outside linebacker, but the Cowboys want him at outside linebacker.
“They really like me at outside linebacker on the opposite side of DeMarcus Ware,” he said.
Wilber played his first two seasons at Wake Forest at defensive end. He moved to outside linebacker when the school switched to a 3-4, and he said that let him show his athleticism.
“A lot of teams told me that I had bad hips, and I was able to prove to them my senior year and show them that I’m actually able to drop into zone coverages and re-route receivers and athletic enough to stay with running backs and tight ends,” he said.
Watching Ware was a big deal to him.
“He’s a beast on the football field,” Wilber said. “He looks like a monster, really. I tried to at least play like him. Be physical with offensive tackles and tight ends and try to destroy the quarterback.”
Wilber had 13 1/2 sacks and 35 1/2 tackles for loss in is career at Wake Forest. He caused six fumbles, recovered three, knocked down six passes and blocked four kicks.
“It feels great that they actually want me to come and help them improve,” he said. “I know the defense is hard hitting and they play hard, especially with Sean Lee and DeMarcus Ware.”
Wilber said he got a good feeling from the Cowboys coaches when he visited Valley Ranch.
“It was just a lot of love,” he said. “They kind of taught me some of the plays to see if I understood the scheme and everything. It’s just been a great experience for me to go to Dallas. They showed a lot of love, especially the fans. The stadium is amazing. It feels like I’m back at Wake Forest, so it’s just a lot of great people there in Dallas. I love it. That was the only visit I took.”
Wilber said the Cowboys tested him on their defensive scheme, to see if he could remember the plays they were showing him.
How did he do?
“Rob told me I was the best one so far.”

Located pretty much directly south of Lyon via the A7, Grignan is easy to get to by car. A scant two hour, eighty kilometres drive will transport you from the lovely, but busy city of Lyon, to the tranquil world of Grignan, France. All the paths in Grignan lead to the castle which is located up, way on top of a rocky hill. The castle has loomed over the flat countryside since the 11th century, even if it was almost completely destroyed during the French Revolution. It has now been beautifully restored and is open to visitors year round with English language tours available during the months of July and August.

Located along the wild Atlantic Coast and encompassing some of the most beautiful scenery in France, Aquitaine holds an exclusive combination of archetypal activities that will appeal to both grown-ups and little ones. The “valley of 1000 castles” is without a doubt our favourite place in all of Aquitaine. Why? Simply because we feel it perfectly embodies what most people imagine the south west of France to be like: high-perched castles overlooking medieval villages that are flanked by vineyards and luxuriant gardens.

Most Saturdays and Sundays, towns around Paris host vide-greniers—which translates to the lovely expression “empty attic.” A vide-grenier is a knot of the old and the now useless, its customers made up of treasure-hunting antiquers, local families in search of an easy day out, and in our case, Canadian tourists looking for a day trip from Paris. It’s old copies of video games and vintage clothing, lawn mowers and handmade ceramics. Day trips from Paris are so easy to plan. There’s a tradition and rhythm to an outdoor French sale that residents adore and tourists miss. Don’t be that tourist!
By CEDRIC LIZOTTE / 27 May 2016
Paris is one of the culinary capitals of the world, and “where to eat in Paris” is a hotly-debated subject amongst locals. France has one of the most celebrated food cultures on this planet. It’s also a hot spot for tourism: Paris is the third most visited city in the world, with 16 million tourists each year. There are hundreds of great bistros in Paris. Here are just a few, as recommended by Parisians themselves. Don’t forget to make reservations for all of these restaurants, since cheap and good eateries tend to get very, very busy in the City of Light.
