We applaud Proxibid’s new changes in helping make the portal more bidder friendly and transparent, identifying those auctions that can see maximum bids or that allow sellers–or even auction companies–to bid on lots in a type of shill bidding. Click the picture above to read new service terms.
Proxiblog has advocated for these changes for more than a year. As many of our Honor Roll houses know, we bid often and then consign winnings to help fund our scholarships, counting on our numismatic knowledge to spot bargains. In the process, we have identified houses that shill bid, always jump to maximum bids, and then shill bid again in the hope that we’ll up our bids even further.
We have not identified them on Proxiblog because we want our site to be proactive rather than reactive, relying on our articles to make the case for better online business.
Shill bidding is, in fact, illegal in many states and one of the reasons why coin buyers often shy away from Proxibid auctions and look instead to Great Collections, Heritage and Teletrade, which thrive because of transparency and stringent rules. Yes, you might pay more for a coin on these sites. Yes, there are fewer bargains. But there is much less risk. That is why those companies vastly outsell auction houses on Proxibid.
Nevertheless, one or two Proxibid auctioneers bristle every time we mention Great Collections et. al., complaining that there are no bargains on those auctions. These Proxibid auctioneers are honest and mistakenly believe other houses are as honorable as theirs. Most may be, but some are not. And in general, bidding on Proxibid requires users to possess numismatic experience not only in bidding but also in grading and identifying counterfeits, self-slabbers and high-reserve houses.
We recommend the larger houses for newbies until they learn numismatic basics.
If you want your house to compete against the likes of Heritage and Teletrade, you can do so easily by following our best practices.
It’s not a matter of size. It’s a matter of integrity, as most NAA auctioneers realize. A house like Weaver’s Signature Coin and Currency Auction, Matthew Bullock Auctioneers, and Key Date Coins reap ever higher bids because they have followed our advice in the past year and thrived. And that advice is based on 40 years’ experience in the numismatic industry in addition to reporting on coins for top publications like Coin World and Coin Update News and even advising the U.S. Mint on coin design.
This is why we believe that forthcoming Proxibid changes are going to help many of our top honest houses attract even more bidders because they will know that auctioneers will not immediately jump to maximum bids or unfairly shill bid for maximum profit. Those relatively few houses lack respect for the online audience, believing it is there to be duped or otherwise taken advantage of.
On the other hand, we feel confident placing maximum bids on almost all of the houses ranked to the right of this article.
Charge high-reserve auctions for unsold items because they use the portal as a cheap eBay site, knowing they don’t have to pay fees when lots do not sell; so they sell above retail, trolling for the few inexperienced bidders who do not know pricing. See this article for details.
Mandate that consignors are responsible for paying refunds on counterfeit and altered coins. See this article featuring Leonard Auction for contracts that do just that.
Remove APN badges from houses that contract with third parties for packing and shipping. See this article for details about that.
We also understand that Proxibid cannot force auctioneers to extend basic numismatic courtesies, such as providing clear and expandable pictures of obverse and reverse of coins. We are disappointed in some of our former top houses taking shortcuts in this area by providing only obverse. Today, we removed them from top-ranked houses.
It is, frankly, unethical to sell half a coin to an Internet audience that takes risks because they cannot view the lot up-close as onsite bidders can. We advise all bidders to cease placing bids on raw coins that show only one side of a lot, as this article explains.
We end with a reminder about one of the most important ethical rules of the National Auctioneer Association: Members owe the buyer (from now on referred to as the Customer) the duties of honesty, integrity and fair dealing at all times.
And we thank Proxibid for helping everyone do just that.

My understanding is that Proxibid will be implementing a new fee structure that will impact timed auctions. If an item does not sell for failing to meet a reserve or starting price, the auction will be assessed a service fee of $400.
Yes, John. I believe this is correct. I see a small number of onsite/online auctions on Proxibid with pretty steep reserves. I’m hoping a policy looks at those, too. I’ve always admired your auctions, by the way. You have low buyer’s fee and good photos, too.

A statement piece draws the eyes naturally to the dining room while also defining this space. And a stunning statement piece is not limited to a (pricey!) crystal chandelier. You can paint the ceiling a bold shade, hang eye-catching artworks on a blank wall, or mix and match bold prints to reflect your eclectic taste! Mixing and matching different textures and patterns help bring in new energy to the room and elevate the dining room’s style.
Setting a decorative vase, a bowl of fruits, scented candles, a group of potted succulents, or a vase of fresh cut flowers on the dining table is a terrific way to refresh the dining room’s style and make mealtimes feel extra fancy. Be creative, use different decors to fit a certain theme or season. You can make these tabletop decors yourself or buy them at reasonable prices. The options are endless! Whatever decors you choose to decorate your table, I’m sure it will help create beautiful moments spent in the dining room with the fam.
Stark lighting could distract you from the food that’s in front of you or the company you keep in the dining room. That’s because bold or arresting lighting kills a mood. Set the mood by dimming the light source in the dining room. You can install a dimmer or light a few candles to create a soft lighting that’s perfect for intimate convos.
Adding area rugs to any room in the home is always a good idea. Rugs protect the floor from scuffs; they insulate the space and absorb noise while also adding a dash of color to the room. Area rugs come in an array of colors, sizes, and design to choose from so the possibilities are endless! If you want to define the dining room, I highly suggest opting for an oversized rug set underneath the tables and chairs. Have the edge of the rug set closer to the wall.
For a quick and effortless way to transform your dining table, add a tablecloth with a bold shade or stunning prints. The eye-catching shade/pattern brings new energy to the room. Not a fan of using tablecloths? Try using decorative coasters or placemats instead. These pieces add brightness and a pop of color to the dining room while protecting the surface of the table! Go for coasters or placemats in neutral or metallic shades to make your dining setup look expensive.
One of my favorite small apartment design ideas for small spaces involves using a multipurpose piece to extend a room’s storage space and boost its functionality. A bar cart makes a sound investment if your dining room is on the petite side. You can use a bar cart to accentuate your dining room while also adding a flair of style to the room. Simply set several accent pieces to the bar cart and you have a functional centerpiece. Style it with your best wine glasses, metallic decors, and vintage stemware to add personality to your dining room.
I’m all for matching dining table and chairs but if you want to give your dining room color and character, don’t be afraid to mix and match different chairs. For instance, if your dining set is done in wood, you can switch out a couple of the chairs for acrylic or plastic chairs to create interest. No need to match colors, try coordinating the chairs with the rest of the room. You can also opt for chairs done in a completely different design from the table to create a high contrast, custom look.
Love the look of a mounted wine rack in your favorite restaurant? You can imitate this styling to give your dining room a refined, luxurious look in an instant. Wine racks come in all shapes and sizes but for small spaces, opt for a wall-mount wine rack, a tabletop wine rack, or a compact wine rack that pull double duty as a side table. These pieces are not only affordable; they will elevate the look of the dining room. Heck, you can even make a stylish wine rack to save $$$! Fill the wine rack with a combination of vintage and cheap wine and voila, you have brought the warmth of the cellar into your dining room!
Add a touch of elegance to the dining room by hanging a large mirror on the blank wall. The more unique the design, the better! Decorating with mirrors enhances the play of light in a room. It can brighten the dining room while also making small spaces look positively palatial. Also, eating in front of a mirror could help you lose weight. Studies show that people who eat in front of a mirror make the food seem less appetizing, leading to reduced caloric consumption. Who knew?

By a 4-3 vote, the Kentucky Supreme Court handed another win to the right-wing and GOP partisan forces’ crusade to destroy unions and workers’ rights, upholding the Commonwealth’s GOP-enacted so-called “right to work” law.
Acting for their unions, Kentucky AFL-CIO President Bill Landrigan and Louisville-based Teamsters Local 89 President Fred Zuckerman challenged the law on state constitutional grounds. They said it violated equal protection of the laws and three other provisions. The Kentucky High Court majority, upholding a lower court ruling, rejected the unions’ case.
Kentucky’s GOP legislative majority approved HB1, the right-to-work law and GOP Gov. Matt Bevin signed it in 2017. Bevin had run on a pro-RTW platform, the judges noted.
That let Kentucky join a raft of GOP-ruled states – including Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana and Missouri – that turned themselves into RTW states since the 2010 nationwide Republican electoral sweep. Missouri voters, however, threw out its RTW law earlier this year, by a 2-to-1 ratio. Like other RTW laws, Kentucky’s law passed on party-line votes.
Unions and their allies oppose “right to work” laws, pushed by big business, the radical right and their political puppets. Those same interests, led by the venal and vicious National Right to Work Committee, intervened in the case on Kentucky’s side and for RTW.
The unions cited studies showing RTW states have lower wages for workers, fewer safety and health protections on the job and higher injury rates.
“The true motivation is ‘to starve labor organizations and their members based on perceived political bent,’” the unions added.
Besides, the court majority claimed, the RTW supporters presented positive evidence for it anyway, even though they didn’t have to do so.
After reviewing Kentucky constitutional and labor law history and the 1947 GOP-passed federal Taft-Hartley Act, which permitted state-by-state RTW laws, the court majority spent a good section of their opinion rejecting the unions’ equal protection argument.
“A statute that ‘merely affects social or economic policy is subject’ to a less searching form of judicial scrutiny, i.e. the ‘rational basis’ test,” under the state constitution’s equal protection section, the majority explained.
“Rational basis review is appropriate for evaluating” RTW since the 1947 federal Taft- Hartley Act – passed by a GOP majority, though the Kentucky justices did not admit it — “expressly permitted” state RTW laws, they said.
And “The (U.S.) Supreme Court long ago held that, under federal law, union membership is not a suspect classification triggering strict scrutiny” under the U.S. Constitution. “A statute complies with Kentucky equal protection requirements if a ‘rational basis’ supports the classifications that it creates,” the majority declared.

I went to the registry office on Tuesday. Perhaps I thought I was going to get married. I don’t remember now, that’s how it is, you should know that. It comes and goes.
I didn’t get married, turns out. Jake did, to someone else. She was a nice girl. She gave me a seat, a folding chair set up against the wall, and said I could watch if I liked and Jake gave her a look. He might have thought I wouldn’t understand, but looks aren’t as hard as other things. I understood that look.
Perhaps I wasn’t supposed to be there. Perhaps I wasn’t even invited. You know how it is, it comes and goes. I don’t remember.
Jake gives me a lot of looks nowadays, when I see him, which is now and then. Not that often, but sometimes several times in a year. Looks of disbelief with his forehead scrunched up and his lips tightly together when I tell him about what I’ve been doing: about the elephants and such. Sometimes I get it wrong and then it’s a pained look, straining and waiting and wincing whilst I fumble with my words, my hands, attempting. The worst looks are the pity looks, which are the only times he smiles — limp, small smiles and downward cast eyes and perhaps a hand on my forearm. A gentle push. Lie down, Agatha. There you go. Lie down.
Once I told him to call me Aggie, and the look he gave me was a new one. I said: like the old days. I haven’t forgotten. I forget some things, you know how it is, but I haven’t forgotten Aggie and Jake. I’m having trouble deciphering what it meant, those eyes, all glassy and averted. Perhaps he doesn’t remember Aggie and Jake, though I suspect he probably does. It’s why he can’t look when I’m being changed because I’ve soiled my sheets again. It’s why he doesn’t come as often now. You know how it is — busy life now, baby on the way and a promotion at work. I don’t really know how it is, obviously, but it’s nice to pretend.
Once, when we were Aggie and Jake, he told me he loved me.
You know how it is, my mother used to say, boys grow out of girls. They get bored quickly, Agatha, be careful.
Jake didn’t get bored, I don’t think. I’d like to tell her that. Sometimes I miss her, but it comes and goes.
Jake didn’t really change at all, when I think about it. I was the one that changed. They say it was inevitable and my injuries were severe; it couldn’t be helped. You know how it is. They do their best.
Anyway. I went to the registry office on Tuesday. There was a man getting married and something about it was incredibly familiar. I can’t help forgetting, that’s how it is. I said I was sorry, but he just looked so familiar — could I please have his name?
There was a look in his eyes then. I think perhaps he was sad.

An agnostic might say, "Prove to me that God exists, and I will believe in Him." If that describes your own feeling about God, I'd like to share a few ideas with you.
I respect your desire to have proof of the existence of God. And people like myself feel they have it almost every day.
The physical senses are often what individuals use to find proof. But these senses don't and can't speak to us of God. We can't touch or see Him. God is knowable through spiritual sense, which we all have-through the discernment of good in our hearts.
I can't see or feel radio waves, but when I listen to the radio I accept that they exist. Similarly, I know God exists because I feel Him with me every day. Throughout years of learning more about God from the teachings of Christian Science, I have had proof of His guidance and healing power. You can too.
One insight into God that enables me to understand more of His nature is from a book by Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered Christian Science. The book defines God as "The great I am; the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-acting, all-wise, all-loving, and eternal; Principle; Mind; Soul; Spirit; Life; Truth; Love; all substance; intelligence." That is found on page 587 of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. Often I've begun my day by quietly thinking over what it means. I find that as I am open moment by moment to God's guidance, I know what I need to know, and feel loved and comforted. Guided by His intelligence, I have often been led to make decisions that have blessed me and those I'm thinking of.
We had a very severe storm one night, and lightning was striking very close to our home over a prolonged period. Heavy rain and winds prompted me to get up and go onto our covered porch to bring hanging baskets and plants under cover. Suddenly, it was as if someone were saying clearly to me, "This is not a safe place to be." I've learned to be obedient to what I perceive as divine direction, and I immediately stopped and went inside. Only moments later, I heard a tremendous lightning bolt strike and simultaneously saw what appeared as a ball of light on the porch. This was immediately followed by a loud popping sound. The lights went out. The next morning I discovered that a rock that had been on the porch had burst into two pieces, and in the center was a core of what appeared to be iron. A physics teacher I spoke with felt that the bolt had been attracted to the rock, and that my retreat had unquestionably saved my life.
Experiences such as these have proved to be typical examples of God's care. My husband and I have five children, and over and over again we have felt God's love guiding and sustaining us in raising our family.
The consistency of divine guidance has shown itself to be more than human intuition. Rather, it is natural, spiritual sense that comes to us-and stays with us-as we cultivate an understanding of God, who is divine Love, governing His creation with His law of good. A spiritual sense of God's goodness and love engenders a closeness, a satisfying intimacy with God, that you can feel. Knowing God is as natural and as necessary for us as the air we breathe.
Don't let skepticism and disbelief keep you from knowing your God, and from feeling His presence with you. His love and His supply of good satisfy as nothing else ever can.
The founder of Christianity, Christ Jesus, may have been especially speaking to your heart when he said long ago, according to the book of John: "Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full" (16:24). If you ask God to make Himself known to you, you will find that He is as close and knowable to you as He is to me.
If someone stayed shut up in a dark room, he might know nothing of budding flowers and chirping birds nearby. Through learning of God, you can open the windows and doors of your thought. God already knows you; He created you in His image and likeness. Spend some time in quiet listening and prayer. Ask to feel His presence in your life. His guidance will come to your expectant thought. Your heart can leap with joy at the reality of your God.

One key to a happy home is a safe home. One room, which almost every member of the family goes into, that have accidents just waiting to happen is the kitchen. Some of those potential hot spots are pretty obvious but others are not as much. I have to admit I am dangerous to be with in the kitchen just because of the fact that since I am height challenged…I am guilty of the open cabinet doors syndrome, but this is one I am working hard at correcting. Just the other morning I decided to head upstairs to fix a snack and instead of having on my usual short sleeve tee and sweat pants, I just threw on the pretty blue soft robe. As I turned on the water to rinse out a glass the sleeve of my robe got soaked. I thought to myself…perhaps wearing long sleeves in the kitchen has other potential hazards. Our home cooks electric so there are no flames waiting to jump out to ignite the sleeve but for someone who cooks using gas any long sleeves could lead to a FLAMING DISASTER.
3.When removing the lid off hot item remove it away from you (just a few days ago I removed the top from the crock-pot towards me and my arm got a pretty good steam burn…ouch)!!!

It sounds like a lot, but buy a turkey that allows for 1 pound per person.
Look over the frozen turkeys in the store and choose one that isn't all frosty and has no rips in the packaging.
Thaw a frozen turkey in the refrigerator in its original packaging.
Allow 24 hours of thawing time for each 4 pounds of turkey… so a 12-pound bird thaws for 3 full days.
If you don't have time for a refrigerator thaw, you can thaw it in cold water, about 30 minutes per pound of turkey. Make sure the water is not able to leak through the wrapping. Cover the turkey with cold tap water, so the turkey is completely under water. Change the water every 30 minutes. Cook the turkey as soon as it's thawed.
Never thaw a turkey at room temperature. Never ever!
Fasten the neck skin to the back of the turkey with skewer.
Turn turkey breast side up. Fold the wings across the back of the turkey so tips are touching.
Fill the body cavity lightly with stuffing.
Tie the legs together with heavy string.
Make stuffing, and either add it to the cavity of the turkey, or even easier, bake it in a casserole.
If stuffing a turkey, don’t pack it in -- put it in loosely.
To bake outside the bird, spray a casserole and add the stuffing. Bake at 325 degrees for about 35 minutes or until good and hot.
Super easy. 325 degrees. Pop the uncovered roaster in the oven and allow about 15 minutes of roasting time for each pound of unstuffed turkey.
It's done when your thermometer (overproof or instant-read) reads 165 degrees in the thickest part of the thigh... not touching any bones.
Get tons of easy turkey recipes!
Let the turkey stand at least 15 minutes before you carve it.
Watch how to do it in our carving video below.

Nearly everyone in the IT world has heard the quote from Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg about the need for speed and performance in technology—“Move fast, break things.” While that might apply to social media platforms, there is less forgiveness for breaking things in the data analytics and business intelligence world. Too many decisions are riding on the data you engineer, and you and your data-consuming stakeholders need the reports produced to be factual and credible.
So rectifying the need for valid, actionable data with the need to be agile and responsive in a fast-changing business environment is usually the task of the IT department. And as with any business-critical process, it comes with complications of staffing, programming, and resource allotment.
Moving fast without breaking things is still possible, and putting together a big data stack in as little as 10 minutes can produce some high-performance, high-ROI results. The key is implementing a solution that includes the right combination of components for high functionality and long-term value.
We've teamed up with data analysis leaders Stitch and Chartio to make the 10 minute data stack a reality with the Automatic Cloud Data Stack. The partnership means the stack has all the components you need for data analysis—ETL, data warehousing, AI-enabled query learning, business intelligence, and visualization capabilities—along with complete interoperability, flexibility and scalability. The entire interface is easy and intuitive to use, and best of all, it doesn’t require extra staff to implement it, or more time from your existing resources to manage it.
The combination of each company’s unique specialty results in a solution that’s fast and flexible while maintaining the robustness needed for complex querying. The integrated stack means setup and configuration is eliminated, and various data sources can be tapped without the need for coding. The business intelligence UI is drag and drop, and visualizations are fully customizable.
As important as speed may be to your organization, your data stack needs to include performance features that make it a valuable long-term IT solution. The Automatic Cloud Data Stack is quick to set up and maintain, but it also provides democratized, accessible business intelligence for team members of all technical abilities. The configuration of the BI output is easy even for non-technical users, but those users with SQL abilities can direct more specific results. This flexibility gives the solution scalability to support company growth and increased data analysis needs.
The cloud-based design adds to the flexibility and scalability of the solution - there are no hardware components to manage, maintain, or repair, and it’s simple to add data sources as your company’s IT landscape changes. The cloud-based design also helps keep data secure, and is compliant with rigorous security protocols and various industry standards, including HIPAA, GDPR, SOC2 and others.
The 10 minute setup time and lifecycle scalability of the Automatic Cloud Data Stack strikes a balance between speed to launch and long-term performance and value.

For those people who don’t know you, who are you? What’s your story?
I’m a New Yorker who was wrongfully convicted of a crime in Pennsylvania that I didn’t commit and was sentenced to a life prison term. I spent 161/2 years in prison before my conviction was vacated on October 3, 2011 by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. They held that there was an insufficient amount of evidence to find me guilty. I was released in January 2012 pending the Attorney General’s appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. On May 29, 2012 the Supreme Court granted the Attorney General’s appeal and reinstated my conviction without giving my legal team any chance to argue our position.
We were so happy to see you go and devastated to see you return, how’s it been Big Homie?
One thing I will say though, since you’re back your fight for justice is on another level.
What are the lessons learned from spending so much time incarcerated?
So what’s happening with your case right now?
I have a PCRA petition pending that includes stronger issues than the one that originally freed me. For 18 years the police and prosecutors have withheld evidence that would have cleared me at trial. The prosecution’s main witness made a statement the day of the crime that if turned over to my lawyer would’ve cleared me at trial. One of the detectives involved in the investigation has signed an affidavit supporting this. I also have witnesses coming forward about how they saw other people commit this crime and that the prosecution’s main witness was with them. But the police threatened them to not come forth and help me. And the prosecution’s only witness has even admitted that she wasn’t in the bar where she testified she saw me! This coupled with some other issues raises a solid actual innocence claim.
The question that is on every prisoner’s mind is why did you turn yourself in?
I’m surrounded by a unique support system. People who believe in me and my injustice and who are willing to do all that is necessary to see that I am freed. They are the people I’m dedicated to. I strive for peace, freedom and justice and I’m on my way to exactly that!
Courageous. Speaking of supporters, how were you able to get so many people on your side?
I refuse to be silent and worry about everything but myself. Most of my funds are spent on postage and copies. I try to reach whoever is willing to listen to my story. When I was released I spoke on wrongful convictions. I spoke to troubled youth in different communities. I made allies with people who have been through what I’ve been through and we share the same mission. My case has support from people in 31 states and 11 countries!
What is your strategy for fighting your case?
What do you think of the criminal appeal process?
Without question I feel that the bar of justice is warped! I’m one of many that the appeal process has failed.
Since coming back, how have inmates responded to you? Prison staff?
Although nothing came directly to me, there has been a lot of gossiping behind my back. And that was disappointing because I’m fighting not only for myself but all of us. I could have been selfish and ran but my supporters mean everything to me. If I would have run not only would I have lost my appeal rights, I would’ve been labeled the new “Mud Man” because it would be that much harder for others to get bail while on appeal. Everybody has different concerns. Now that the juvenile lifer issue is on the forefront I hope my actions help them in their struggle because they can’t make the excuse about them not being able to operate in society or return if they violate. Those who think strictly about themselves are normally the ones wondering why all their bridges are burned. As for the prison staff—some do their eight and roll, some have their preconceived notions of me whether good or bad. I don’t get caught up in that.
What do you recommend for that 20-year-old kid with a life sentence and no clue who has just arrived upstate?
caught up in prison politics. Surround yourself with people who share the same goal as you. It’s about getting back to family as soon as possible. Don’t view yourself as a lifer; always have the state of mind that you will return to your family.
I agree. I suggest to people to first learn how to learn. Then study the book the Rules of Court(sections: criminal procedure, rules of evidence, appellate procedure); the PCRA statute; and legal analysis, research, writing and how to craft a legal document. Well, any last words?
All is well with me and if we as a whole continue to fight against injustice and not ourselves we got something special coming. Rumble, young man, rumble!

Authors/Editor: Daly, Leslie; Bourke, Geoffrey J.
In 1969 the first edition of this book introduced the concepts of statistics and their medical application to readers with no formal training in this area. While retaining this basic aim, the authors have expanded the coverage in each subsequent edition to keep pace with the increasing use and sophistication of statistics in medical research.
This fifth edition has undergone major restructuring, with some sections completely rewritten; it is now more logically organized and more user friendly (with the addition of 'summary boxes' throughout the text). It incorporates new statistical techniques and approaches that have made an appearance since the last edition. In addition, some chapters or chapter headings are specifically marked to signify material that is more difficult than the material in which it is embedded - such sections or chapters can be omitted at first reading.
Several new chapters have been added . "Associations: Chance, Confounded and Causal?" explains without any formulae the concepts underlying confounding, confidence intervals and p values, and the interpretation of associations observed in research investigations. Another new chapter considers sample size calculations in some detail and provides, in addition to the relevant formulae, useful tables that should give the researcher an indication of the order of magnitude of the number of subjects he or she might require in different situations.

- Bootstrap Tooltips utilize the 3rd party library Tether for setting . You must incorporate tether.min.js prior to bootstrap.js in turn for tooltips to operate !
- Tooltips are definitely opt-in for efficiency purposes, so you must initialize them by yourself.
- Bootstrap Tooltip Button along with zero-length titles are never displayed.
- Setting off tooltips on concealed components will certainly not operate.
components have to be triggered on a wrapper element.
Learnt all that? Wonderful, let's see exactly how they deal with certain instances.
which will activate the tooltips capability.
components due to the fact that these are used for the site visitor's conversation with the page and are much more likely to be needing some clarifications relating to what they actually perform if hovered by using the computer mouse-- just prior to the eventual clicking on them.
and assuming that this attribute is simply omitted the tooltips appear over the defined feature.
The tooltips appearance and activity has remained basically the identical in both the Bootstrap 3 and 4 versions due to the fact that these actually do function pretty efficiently-- completely nothing much more to become required from them.
Four opportunities are provided: top, right, bottom, and left adjusted.
The tooltip plugin develops information and markup on demand, and by default places tooltips after their trigger component.
Making tooltips do the job for computer keyboard plus assistive technology users.
attribute, this will certainly incorporate difficult and essentially irritating tab stops on non-interactive elements for key-board users. Additionally, a large number of assistive technologies presently do not reveal the tooltip within this scenario.
Possibilities for special tooltips are able to alternatively be pointed out through making use of data attributes, like explained above.
activity happens). This is considered a "manual" triggering of the tooltip. Tooltips with zero-length titles are never ever revealed.
Hides and wipes out an element's tooltip. Tooltips that employ delegation (which are developed applying the selector opportunity) can not be independently destroyed on descendant trigger features.
A factor to take into consideration right here is the amount of details which arrives to be applied inside the # attribute and eventually-- the position of the tooltip baseding upon the location of the main element on a screen. The tooltips ought to be exactly this-- small relevant tips-- mading excessive information might just even confuse the site visitor instead of really help navigating.
Additionally in the event that the main component is extremely near to an edge of the viewport positioning the tooltip at the side of this very edge might create the pop-up text to flow out of the viewport and the information inside it to become basically worthless. So when it comes to tooltips the balance in operating them is essential.

The National Socialist treatment of the German Jews prior to World War II must be considered in three main phases of which the second one was easily the most important. These would include: (1) the sometimes turbulent days of the period from Hitler's appointment until the National Socialist Party purge of June 30, 1934; (2) the following period, until the additional measures enacted after the assassination of Ernst von Rath in November, 1938; and (3) the period from November, 1938, until the outbreak of war in 1939. The second period was dominated by the Nuremberg laws of September, 1935, which deprived persons defined as Jews of their citizen status and proscribed sexual and marital relations between them and the German people.
During the first period there were occasional incidents of public violence involving Jews, although no Jews were actually killed, and a very considerable number of Jews were arrested and placed in concentration camps for short terms because of their Marxist affiliations. During the second period, from 1934 to 1938, the concentration camp population, as conceded by Gerald Reitlinger, The SS: Alibi of a Nation (London, 1956, pp. 253ff.), seldom exceeded 20,000 throughout all Germany, and the number of Jews in the camps was never more than 3,000. During the third period, in which several new measures were enacted against the Jews, the concentration camp population remained virtually stationary. There was an extensive exodus of Jews from Germany during the first, and especially during the third period; during the second period the Jewish population remained remarkably stationary, while a much larger number of Jews departed from Poland.
Lion Feuchtwanger, et al, Der Gelbe Fleck: die Ausrottung van 500,000 deutschen Juden (The Yellow Spot: the Extermination o~ 500,000 German Jews, Paris, 1936) presented a typical effort during the second phase to mobilize the forces of Jewish propaganda against Germany. The yellow spot on a black field was a medieval designation for Jewish establishments; the book derives part of its title from this source. The other part, concerning the alleged annihilation campaign, is asserted from the earliest pages. It is important to note that from the very start the Jewish opponents of National Socialism declared mere measures of discrimination against the Jews to be the equivalent of annihilation or liquidation. The term genocide was not introduced by Professor Rafael Lemkin until after the battle of Stalingrad in 1943.
This alleged annihilation in The Yellow Spot is conceived of in several different ways. On the one hand, simple emigration is regarded as the extermination of German Jewry as such in one special sense at least. On the other hand, sinister rumors are cited to the effect that there would be a gigantic Old Testament-styled Purim in reverse in the event of a foreign invasion of Germany, and that Jewish corpses would be prominently displayed in such a case. The existing concentration camps are also interpreted as a potential instrument of extermination, and the latter part of the book contains a list of prisoners who had allegedly died in the camps. Special note was made of the claim that there was still 100 Jews at Dachau in 1936 and that 60 of them had been there since 1933.
The authors explained the National Socialist campaign against the Jews as a Machiavellian maneuver to create jobs for loyal brown-shirted followers. They stated as a dogmatic fact that Hitler intended to start an "imperialist war" (note the Marxist- terminology) as soon as possible, and especially when he could accomplish something in his domestic program-ostensibly at the expense of the Jews-for which the people would sacrifice. The mass of the German people were described as friendly toward the Jews despite Hitler, and the otherwise loyal German Jews were considered -to have been forced into opposition by the measures directed against them.
Much was made of the Saturday, April 1, 1933, National Socialist boycott against the Jews, which was actually in response to the Jewish boycotts directed against Germany from New York and London during the previous months. The boycott was depicted as the prelude to a permanent policy of strangulation. The alleged increase in marriages between Germans and German Jews in 1934 was regarded as a major reason for the promulgation of the Nuremberg laws as early as 1935. The Nuremberg laws were presented as a state bulwark in support of an unpopular policy.
This story of Jewish grievances against Germany prior to World War 11 was fully supplemented in order to cover the whole period by F. R. Brenenfeld, The Germans and the Jews (N.Y., 1939). His emphasis was an economic and social discrimination against the Jews and on the alleged mistreatment of concentration camp inmates, of which the Jews were always decidedly in the minority.
A later Jewish historian, T. L. Jarman, The Rise and Fall of Nazi Germany (N.Y., 1956) noted that at the beginning of World War 11 the Germans had only six concentration camps: Dachau, Sachsenhausen, Buchenwald, Mauthausen, Flossenbürg, and Ravensbrück. There were 21,300 inmates in the camps, of whom less than 3,000 were Jews. Jarman pointed out that under National Socialism, terrorism unlike in Russia, was kept in the background. Jarman added that "Germany in the years 1933-9 was an open country in a sense in which Soviet Russia has never been" (P. 187). Jarman believed that the Germans were "stupid" in allowing themselves to be "drawn into war" in 1939, as in 1914, when they had everything to lose and nothing to gain. It is interesting to note that this interpretation was rendered possible because of the fact that the terroristic Soviet regime was far more popular in the West than the much milder German system.
As time went on it became more and more doubtful whether President Roosevelt's early assurance to the German leaders about the Jewish question would be kept. President Roosevelt bad told Germany's Reichsbank president, Hjalmar Schacht, on May 6, 1933, that he personally had no particular sympathy for the Jews, but a problem troubling German-American relations existed because of "the old Anglo-Saxon sense of chivalry toward the weak." Nevertheless, Roosevelt assured Schacht that "this hurdle would be cleared" without any lasting breach in German-American relations. Schacht met with New York Jews on May 12, 1933, and warned them that continued pressure from the outside could make matters worse for the German Jews. These matters are revealed in Documents on German Foreign Policy, Series C. vol. 1, nos. 214, 233.
Jewish propaganda against Germany made increasing headway during the months which followed, and on December 20, 1933, a conference at the German Foreign Office concluded with regret that the American press as a whole seemed to be "the strongest Jewish propaganda machine in the world" (Ibid., vol. 2, no. 139). Richard Sallet reported from the German Embassy in Washington, D. C. on August 3, 1934, that the sustained Jewish economic boycott of Germany continued to add fuel to the fire, and he noted, that Jewish propaganda was more strident than ever. The United States was seen to be positively flooded with anti-Gennan literature, and Sallet concluded that the ultimate objective of Jewry was a war of destruction against Germany (Ibid., vol. 3, no. 569). There was considerable relief in Germany in 1936 when President Roosevelt refused to accede to Jewish pressure to boycott the Olympic Games at Berlin. Hjalmar Schacht, 76 Jahre meines Lebens (76 Years of My Life, Bad Wörighofen, 1953, p. 416), was confident then that the Jewish question, despite the ever increasing spate of Jewish propaganda, would do no lasting harm to Germany's relations abroad.

After years of radio silence, the Avatar sequels are finally underway. Announcements about the cast and shooting schedule have become more and more common, but the latest news has sparked speculation and discussion moreso than the others. James Cameron confirmed that Miles Quaritch, played by Stephen Lang in the original film, will be the villain of all four sequels as well. This is the first time that we've heard about this particular character's exact role in the series. — previous announcements centered on Jake Worthington's and Zoe Saldana's returns as protagonists Jake and Neyteri respectively; though in all fairness, Lang's involvement with the sequels has long been reported.
Quaritch did die at the end of the original film, making his return somewhat more surprising. While there is a great deal of fantastical science fiction going on in the world of Pandora, resurrection from the dead has yet to be explored. To recap: Quaritch was obsessed with destroying the Na'vi, but was killed by Saldana's Neyteri before he could destroy the sacred Tree of Souls or kill Worthington's Jake. This seems like a good end for the character, but like the rest of the saga, Cameron would not let him rest, instead saying he would be the villain of the entire saga.
Not much is known about the plot of the sequels, so this reveal comes as a bit of a surprise. Given that most of the characters had a complete arc in the film, stretching their stories out to fit four more films might be a reach, but Cameron has proved he's more than ready to imagine new worlds and stories. But most of these returning characters weren't dead at the end of their film, which means Cameron will have to imagine a whole new way for Quaritch to cheat death.
Cameron has written himself into a bit of a corner with the character, since it's likely that he was not planning to make him the primary antagonist of five films. But what's done is done, and now Cameron will have to invent a way to bring his villain back from the dead. Luckily for him, he's playing in a sandbox which involves a lot of transferring of consciousnesses. Quaritch's consciousness could easily be transferred into a new avatar of some kind, thus allowing him to return. Similarly, it could give Quaritch a new face, even if Lang is doing the mo-cap. The promise of Lang's return specifically means they won't recast the character, but the visuals of the world do allow for him to return with a new look.
Quaritch being transferred into a new body before his own demise is an interesting reversal of Jake's own final actions where he is transferred into his new body to live his best life. Quaritch will be sent to a new form in order to essentially live his worst life — to be a man hellbent on revenge on one specific family. This sets them up as a more interesting protagonist-antagonist duo, with their lives becoming opposites of one another instead of just existing as "nice soldier" and "mean soldier."
If readers will bear with me a moment, then we can explore exactly how Quaritch's consciousness might have been transferred prior to his own death, despite not being near any equipment or tech that would have preserved him. Eywa, the mysterious force that binds all living things together on Pandora, is proven to exist multiple times throughout the film, most notably when Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver) dies before she can be transferred into her avatar and says she can see "her" right before she passes. If Cameron is going the mystical route, then Eywa might have had a reason to save Quaritch. Is this a hint at a possible redemption arc similar to Darth Vader's, since Cameron's epic very frequently pays homage to other sci-fi franchises?
The Eywa theory does lend more evidence to how Augustine will return, as Weaver is also slated to be rejoining the franchise. However, it is less likely that the benevolent power guarding Pandora would save the man hellbent on destroying the planet. Maybe there's a flip side to Eywa, a darker power that saves him for the purpose of causing mayhem? Again, we know too little about the film to fully speculate on how characters will be returning, but a possible dark side to Eywa could be what saves Quaritch for malevolent purpose.
Now there could be a simpler explanation — someone got him to the right technology to save his life and as a result he survived his encounter with Neyteri. There could be an in-universe scientific answer to his survival that wouldn't rely too heavily on mysticism and nebulous powers that be. That does open up a mystery of who saved him, and why, which could make for an interesting subplot in one of the films. It could be a way to introduce a villains lineup for the films to provide Quaritch with backup, since he can't be up to evil all alone. The Avatar universe's rogues gallery needs to expand in order to keep the franchise interesting. After all, Quaritch did have a complete arc in the first film. He'll need some help staying relevant for future installments.
The element of resurrection was one toyed with in the first film, but now is being explored outright. It could be a very interesting direction to take the franchise. The first film had a distinct subplot of science vs. faith, and now that faith has won to a degree it could be fun to take that in a fresh direction and explore the idea of resurrections. Jake has already died and been born anew, and now we know that both his better angel Augustine and the villainous Quaritch will be rising from the dead as well. Cameron's series might become a strange sci-fi religious allegory, particular with his frequent emphasis on how the future films will center on family and emotion against an elaborate backdrop. We know so little about these films, but that will surely change once filming starts this September. Maybe then the mystery of Quaritch's survival will be answered.

When Bigfoot sightings come to mind, you probably think about the old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest.
But there have been 323 strange encounters reported since the 1980s far from Northern California, Oregon and Washington state.
That would be the Sunshine State of Florida.
In fact, those sightings have become a kind of cottage industry, especially in Northwest Florida, home of the Gulf Coast Bigfoot Research Organization, founded by Mick Minnis, appropriately the owner of the Bigfoot Moving Company.
Some of the reports the group has investigated are indeed harrowing.
There were the two women driving from Destin to Panama City on U.S. Highway 98 when their car broke down. They began to walk toward Destin to get help when they heard a “very loud noise, like a scream mixed with loud moaning.” Then they were looking int the eyes of something they’d never seen before.
As cars began approaching, the creature “hastily” walked back into the woods and disappeared.
He says he evaluates each witness’s credibility, how fresh the incident is in the person’s mind and whether there could be a better explanation of the event.
Another journal entry is the experience of a kayaker on the Yellow River who first heard the sound of sticks breaking on shore and “smelled a very musky wet dog smell.” Then the creature started throwing rocks at him in the swamp.
Then there was a group of people who fled in every direction after encountering a large “humanoid” form.
Witnesses smelled or heard the creature before seeing it.
Mike Spaits, spokesman for the Jackson Guard, denied any Bigfoot activity on Eglin Air Force Base, where many of the entries on the BFRO and GCBRO websites say they’ve seen the creature.
While Minnis says he’s never seen a Bigfoot, he claims to have heard “vocalizations” during an expedition in the North Florida woods several years ago. His wife, Tracey, said she saw a Bigfoot in a clearing in the woods on the side of Interstate 75 during a trip to Sarasota years ago.
“Almost on a daily basis, we’re still finding animals that have been undiscovered,” his wife, Tracey, added.
Minnis said most experiences go unreported because they fear ridicule, shame and ostracization.

Indian Virgin Hair straightening treatments eliminate frizz, straighten the hair and last about three months. They cost about $150–$600 depending on the hair length. These keratin-based treatments are performed on all types of chemically-treated (bleached, hi-lights, coloured, permed, relaxed or previously straightened) and virgin hair. The technique of the application is similar to the Japanese Yuko System in the way that heated flat irons are used to close the product into the hair cuticle.
These treatments aim to straighten curls and waves and to reduce frizz. The treatments do not guarantee completely straight hair, although if performed correctly they can reduce between 50 and 80 percent of the curl depending on the original hair texture. Treatments last around 10–12 weeks and repeating the treatment every few months will allow for treatment of new growth. Depending on the treatment used downtime after it is performed ranges from no-wait to a 72 hour period in which the recipient cannot wash or wet the hair, exercise, tuck the hair behind the ears, or pin it up with any hair clip, pony tail holder or headband, as doing so may compromise the result of the treatment.

RVFTA #90: Road Trip Tips!
On this week’s episode of RV Family Travel Atlas, we are going on a ROAD TRIP!!! It’s that time of year again. Schools are letting out, campers are being packed, and families are hitting the road. We are devoting this entire episode to helping you arrive happy and safe with your lively little campers!
First we have our top tips for making a long drive go as smoothly as possible with the tiny terrors in tow, including establishing a car ride routine and planning easy overnight stops. We discuss 7 tips altogether, so listen to hear what we have learned over the last six years of RVing with kids.
Then we will share our secrets to creating the best road trip soundtrack possible. We thought long and hard about the formula for a great RV vacation soundtrack. Listen to hear our three categories of songs you need to include in order to hit the perfect note with your playlist.
Finally, we realized that many of our listeners (and your’s truly) did not know the details of our RV insurance policies. Many of us just sign up for basic coverage when we first buy an RV and then never think about it again. So we invited the folks from Progressive onto the show to give us the inside scoop on what people really need to know about RV insurance.
You might think the drive is just something we have to survive. But we know that it is actually possible to enjoy the journey as well as the destination. You are listening to Episode #90: RVFTA Road Trip Tips!

Today is a proud day at Properly. For more than a year, our tiny but mighty team has been gathering feedback from our generous customers, releasing new features, and improving the product. We are thrilled to launch Properly’s solution for managing changeover and housekeeping operations to the global community of vacation rental owners, home-sharing hosts, and property managers.
From our own experience as Airbnb Superhosts, we know first-hand that cleaning and preparation of our vacation rentals is an essential component to successful hosting. Most importantly it’s essential to guest satisfaction. Input from property managers confirms that they share the same challenges at scale.
Property managers and hosts alike shared the frustration of archaic and cumbersome methods of scheduling, communicating changeover instructions, and having to rely on time consuming inspections to ensure brand and hospitality standards. Clearly the vacation rental and home sharing industry needed a better answer. And Properly is just that.
Our set of tools increase efficiency and help deliver a better guest experience. How?
Text and photo checklists let property managers and home-owners share clear step-by-step instructions tailored to each home and guest with their cleaners.
Integrated photo capture (verification photos) allows property managers and hosts to follow cleaners’ changeover progress in real time, receive photos of problems or damages after each guest check out and photos when the job is done.
A growing list of integrations lets Properly users connect with leading channels like Airbnb and VRBO / HomeAway to streamline scheduling directly from a reservation calendar.
Reporting tools provide a record of jobs performed by each cleaner to simplify monthly billing and invoicing.
Our goal is to provide a solution, option, and subscription that works for everyone from individual owners to the most sophisticated multi-listing property manager.
For the casual occasional Airbnb host or owner, we’re offering a free basic option to simplify changeovers and make it possible to maintain standards while operating a listing from anywhere in the world.
Professional property managers can take advantage of property management system (PMS) integration, sophisticated scheduling tools, and dedicated set-up and support services.
Properly was created by San Francisco Superhost, Alex Nigg, who needed to remotely manage changeovers between guests when he traveled between his second property in New Zealand, his hometown in northern Italy, and the United States.
While on the road, Alex tried everything to manage guest operations, maintain his 5-star rating and track when his house was guest ready to the high standard he wanted to provide for his guests.
Incessant calls and texts to and from cleaners were not only expensive but also time consuming for both parties. Paper checklists helped to a degree, but were cumbersome for service providers and never guaranteed they understood his expectations or what his home should look like when the job was done.
“As an Airbnb superhost, I experienced first-hand the challenge of managing changeovers. I wanted everything to be perfect for my guests and there just wasn’t an efficient or reliable way to do that. ,” says Alex, Founder and CEO.
“For years I’ve coached my housekeeping staff to do things the way I liked them done. You could call that being finicky, but if you are a dedicated VR owner, you know what I mean,” said leading property manager Heather Bayer, the author of Renting For Profit and CottageBlogger.com.

Happy Friday! You guys...Father's Day is THIS weekend! It kinda snuck up on me this year, but I can't wait to celebrate the dads in our lives, especially Garrett. He is such a dedicated and downright awesome father to our boys. We're all so lucky to have him in our lives. I know everyone says that, but really guys, this one is a keeper. Garrett asked for a hike and a trip to the brewery on Father's Day, so that's what we'll be doing. Of course there will be a homemade card, drawn by a certain 4-year-old. And Brooks will be in charge of providing extra snuggles because goodness he's a good snuggler when he puts his mind to it. And I'll be doing my best to keep my feet moving forward on our *hike* which is surely to be more of a slow meander with 2 kiddos and super-pregnant me along for the adventure ;) Anyway, happy Father's Day to all you hard-working dadas/grandpas/uncles/friends out there who are fighting the good fight - tackling bath time, giving shoulder rides, and loving those kids more than life itself. You make their world go round.
It's time to grab a cup of coffee and dig in to all that the Internet has to offer!
These guys are restoring an 1892 Victorian Farmhouse and it's gorgeous. Definitely an Instagram account worth following!
A preschool in the woods. This is pure amazing. Sidenote: this book is now on my Amazon wish list.
The top 50 baby names of 2016. Garrett and I settled on a sweet baby girl's name about 4 1/2 years ago (for the record, it's not on the list) but we himed and hawed over a middle name until about a month ago. I love what we came up with and I'm crossing my fingers it fits our baby girl when we meet her next month!
I'm crushing hard on this window bench by DeVol Kitchens.
A stylish, family home in 484 square feet.
Tips for shopping at a Farmer's Market. We always end up buying way too many pastries and the kids usually leave with cherry stains all over their cheeks, but the local fruits and veggies at our Farmer's Market just can't be beat!
Hope you have a great weekend! Now go celebrate those awesome dads in your life.

The city of Delaware received statements of qualifications from three professional teams for the design, administration and construction of a new fire substation in January.
City Council authorized in October the annexation of about three acres for future site of Station 304 at 821 Cheshire Road. The city was accepting request for statements of qualifications, or RFQs, between Jan. 13-30.
A committee appointed by City Manager Tom Homan will evaluate the RFQs.
“An internal group that will include representatives from the city manager’s office and the fire department hopes to evaluate and grade the RFQs in the next two weeks,” said Lee Yoakum, city spokesman, in an email.
The demolition and construction is expected to begin in April with substantial completion by the end of the year, according to a city fact sheet.
“As far as cost, that has not been determined but we have said that Station 304 will closely resemble Station 303, opened in 2013. That 9,000-square-foot station cost [about] $2.4 million four years ago,” Yoakum said.

"Thus, we're also gathered and presented traditional ecological perspectives from Native elders and other tribal voices."
"Climate change is a complex problem stemming from unsustainable policies and practices in almost every corner of the world."
"In rural Alaskan communities, the value of the land is of significant importance, and the connection is vital."
"Communities, already challenged by water availability, will most likely be forced to deal with lengthening periods of hot, intense drought."
As a result of human activity, Earth’s climate is warming and beginning to seriously threaten humans and ecosystems around the world. What does this mean for tribes and Native American communities who have for centuries relied on the bounty of the land and sea to sustain them?
This website provides information and resources tailored to helping Native people gain a better understanding of climate change and its impacts on their communities and resources. Here you'll find basic climate-change information; profiles of tribes in diverse regions of the U.S. who are coping with climate change impacts; audio files of Native people discussing the issue from traditional perspectives; and resources you can use to develop climate change adaptation strategies. We also offer in-person and web-based trainings and technical assistance to build climate change adaption planning capacity among tribes.
As the science of climate change expands, we will continue to update and refine this website to provide the best, most-current information possible. We will also continue to gather and share tribal perspectives and strategies for dealing with climate change.
We hope this site provides you with useful information and tools to help you better understand climate change, educate others on the issue, and develop strategies for dealing with climate change in your own community. We welcome your ideas and input.

While reporting a story about land use and wildlife habitat, I collected some interesting tidbits about a frog’s life.
The upper Midwest is a harsh climate for amphibians, so we don’t have the variety of species you’ll find in warmer climes. But the frogs that are here have evolved some rather interesting survival tactics.
The Leopard frog spends winters hibernating at the bottom of a pool of water. Hopefully they choose wisely, because if the pond or wetland is too shallow and freezes solid, the frog won’t survive.
Other frog species spend the winter frozen, then thaw out and hop away in the spring.
The Boreal Chorus frog and the Wood frog spend winters out of the water, usually under grasses near a wetland. They transport sugars from their liver to individual cells to create a kind of anti-freeze so the cells don’t freeze and burst, which would kill the frog.
So they spend the winter essentially frozen in place with all bodily functions suspended.
Climate change and human intervention are helping a new frog hop into Minnesota and the Dakotas.
The American Bullfrog is now found only in the far southeast corner of Minnesota. But with a warming climate it’s expected to move north. And people sometimes buy the frogs for backyard ponds and unknowingly release a species that could threaten our native frog population and take over wetlands.
I think I’d much prefer falling asleep to the sound of Boreal Chorus frogs.

Geylang, si paku Geylang, Geylang, si rama rama.
Pulang, marilah pulang, marilah pulang bersama-sama.
Final wishes and last regrets in the last three months before death.
Terminally ill with nose cancer, an elderly man prepares for his own passing, trying to settle his final affairs as best he can. In the meantime, his wife and children are also dealing with his imminent death in their own ways. Adopting a stoic and matter-of-fact approach, Mr Lee describes his body as a battleground and candidly speaks about his disease, his pain, and his hopes and fears. As his primary caregiver, his eldest daughter, Ellen Lee, helps to describe and place her family’s problems and her father’s condition in context, and the relationship between father and daughter is both heartwarming and poignant.
Discussing death is generally taboo in Singapore society, even within families that have to deal with it, and with great honesty and sensitivity, the filmmaker tries to articulate what dying is like for both the person experiencing it and the people witnessing the process. From an intimate perspective within the Lee family, the viewer observes the slow deterioration of Mr Lee, and the way this simple family man tries to die with utmost dignity.
Ang Aik Heng’s first international documentary, Culinary China: Food For Thought, won a finalist award for Best in Direction at the 2005 Asia Television Awards. Since then he has also worked on other documentaries for broadcast, including Brat Camp China and Boxing Behind Bars.
In the wake of the Khmer Rouge’s genocide, a nation and her people still struggle for closure and inner peace.
Almost two million Cambodians died between 1975 and 1979 under the cruel and bloody regime of the Khmer Rouge, leaving the country scarred and devastated. This documentary gives voice to some of the survivors from that period, such as Soy Sen, a man who returns to his prison camp almost thirty years later to confront one of the prison chiefs who he believes was responsible for the murder of his father. Soy Sen’s encounter with the prison chief turns out to be both compelling and heartbreaking, a stark reminder that the process of reconciliation is a long and difficult one.
Also featured is a key interview with Nuon Chea, otherwise known as Brother No. 2, Pol Pot’s right-hand man, who is currently awaiting trial by an international tribunal. One of the key planners and perpetrators of the genocide, Nuon Chea’s interview raises as many questions as it answers, while offering a glimpse into the life of a man responsible for so many deaths. Juxtaposed with Soy Sen’s story and the accounts of other survivors, Nuon Chea’s words reflect an unsettling divergence in his conceptualisation of Cambodia’s recent past. Thought-provoking and moving, Brother No. 2 presents some important issues facing Cambodia’s future generations dealing with their traumatic past.
Filmmaker Jason Lai’s short films have played extensively at various film festivals including the Bangkok International and Busan Short Film Festival.

London's property companies are forging ahead with developments across the city center and on both banks of the Thames River.
LONDON – Unruffled by Brexit uncertainties and the threat of yet another worldwide financial crisis, London’s property companies are forging ahead with developments across the city center and on both banks of the Thames River.
They are bullish to say the least — and why wouldn’t they be? Brexit or not, the tourists just keep flowing into town: The West End alone sees 200 million visitors annually, according to the New West End Company, which lobbies on behalf of businesses in the area. The areas around Oxford and Regent streets are poised to see an additional 60 million visitors after the new Elizabeth Line opens in the second half of 2019.

Back in March we did a popup-dinner in Bogota, Colombia – we invited guests from our (small) network and also our networks network in the city. Out of a sudden we were sold out, and 20 guests showed up for our dinner in a very cosy co-working space, called Tierra Firme. The guests were a fine mix of young and a bit older; colombians, argentines, a couple of norwegians and a little handful of danish people living in Bogota, among them the danish ambassador and his wife. We served a five course dinner; first a kind of pancake with zucchini and corn, served with a spicy sauce with lot’s of chili; a sicilian inspired salad with fennel, grapefruit and a lot of local oranges; we did a dramatic and very red beetroot risotto (to many local’s surprise!); we found mussels and did an intense, spicy dish with the mussels, sausages, tomato and apples (quite good we must admit) – for dessert we baked chocolate cakes with ginger and lime zest.
We served the dishes on a beautiful mix of plates, some bought from the local market, others borrowed from Juliana’s (our former intern) mother – and on Royal Copenhagen porcelain borrowed from the danish embassy.
What a fantastic way of meeting people and ‘entering’ a new country! We would love to come back to the country for both traveling and cooking.
Thanks to Juliana and her family for inviting us to Colombia. Thanks to Rodrigo Atuesta for letting os us your space Tierra Firme, and for the photos.
