AN ARSON probe has been launched after a fire ripped through a former social club in Southampton.

More than 70 firefighters rushed to tackle the blaze in a derelict building in Victors Street.

The fire at the former Shirley Working Men’s Club threatened to engulf neighbouring buildings.

Hampshire police have now confirmed an arson investigation is underway following the incident on Monday night.

With 14 fire engines on the scene, crews from across the county were hampered by strong winds which fanned the flames and sent clouds of thick smoke drifting across the area.

People were urged to avoid the area as the emergency services rushed to the old , and locals were told to keep their doors and windows shut because of the smoke.

Firefighters remained on the scene yesterday investigating the cause of the fire which broke out at around 6pm.

Streets in the centre of Shirley echoed to the sound of sirens as the first firefighters on the scene were joined by colleagues from as far afield as Fareham, plus police office and ambulance crews.

No-one was hurt but the building was reduced to a charred ruin.

A police spokesperson said: “This is an arson investigation. I can confirm we are investigating the cause of a fire at the former Shirley Working Men’s Club on Victor Street yesterday evening (February 10). Anyone with information can call 101, quoting 44200052374. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”

10 of the most ridiculous products that people bought in 2017

Let’s hope everyone comes to their senses in 2018.
Dec 27th 2017, 6:01 PM 10,952 5

1. High heels for babies.

People were happy to criticise parents who wanted to raise their children without imposing gender norms on them and mock trans/non binary people for the entirety of 2017. Yet very few people have a problem with the fact that there’s a company devoted entirely to making high heels for babies.

original Source: Pee Wee Pumps

Does this baby look the slightest bit happy about wearing these highly impractical shoes?

2. These €650 Balenciaga runners.

This is what they look like when they’re brand new.

You probably have a similar pair out in your shed for when you’re doing a bit of painting.

3. Or this €1,800 Balenciaga bag that resembles the 70c one from IKEA.

IKEA commented that they’re ‘flattered’ by Balenciaga’s design, insisting that ‘Nothing beats the versatility of a great big blue bag’.

4. A €350 bread maker.

original (2) Source: Brown Thomas

When bread is so inexpensive and easily attainable, there’s no justification whatsoever for a €350 bread maker.

5. Pre-peeled oranges.

There’s an argument here that these are a great invention for people who struggle to use their hands. That argument goes totally out the window when you remember that they have to open the finicky packaging in order to free the orange.

6. A €140 toothpick holder.

original (1) Source: Brown Thomas

There are individuals walking among us who value their toothpicks so greatly that they’re willing to spend €140 on a toothpick holder, so they can have them on display at all times.

7. Prosecco flavoured nail polish.

Earlier this year, Groupon launched an edible Prosecco flavoured nail polish, that you can lick off of your nails, if you ever have the bizarre urge to do so.

8. A €607 bathroom bin.

Nothing nice has ever gone inside a bathroom bin. When you’re hanging out of your bed throwing up after a few too many pints getting sick into this, you probably won’t feel any better when you remember how much it cost.

9. Smart toasters.

If there’s one item in everybody’s kitchen that works perfectly and does not need to be dragged into the future, it’s the humble toaster. You put bread in. You press a button. You get the rest of your food ready, then you return to the toaster when the bread pops out.

Tech companies, who very often attempt to fix things that aren’t broken, decided to have a go at creating a smart toaster. Come back to us when you create an app that puts the bread in the toaster for us.

10. A bin bag that costs nearly €400.

There’s so much wrong with this.

'I look exactly like Priya': Sanju's on-screen sister Aditi Seiya

Southern star Aditi Seiya, who will soon be seen playing Priya Dutt inSanju‘, says who wouldn’t want to make their Bollywood debut with Rajkumar Hirani ? Even if it were a blink-and-miss role, I would have taken it.
Aditi further states how getting into the skin of the character was a task, especially since she has never met Priya in real life. As part of the prep, Aditi saw Priya’s interview on Rendezvous with Simi Garewal to adopt her mannerisms.
The gorgeous Aditi Seiya
Interestingly, not many know but director Rajkumar Hirani sent Aditi’s pictures of the look test to Priya.
Quipping that it was“difficult to play Ranbir Kapoor’s sister since he is a heartthrob“, Seiya is all praises for his acting skills. “Ranbir is a one-take guy who enhances every scene. He turned an important family scene around by suggesting minor tweaks. I have become his fan after working with him.”

A walk down the Street: Looking back at eating club officers’ long history of resignations

After eating club sign-in ceremonies at Cloister Inn and Charter Club on Feb. 6, 1988, 39 students ended up at McCosh Health Center with alcohol poisoning. Seven more were sent directly to Princeton Medical Center, now known as the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro, with one sophomore in an alcohol-induced coma. Criminal charges were brought up against five officers of the clubs, and two were even initially sentenced to serve time.

In the almost 30 years following this incident, eating club officers have resigned for many reasons, included everything from criminal charges, to security breaches, to philosophical differences with the rest of the corps. Over the years, these resignations and security breaches have resulted in modifications to the structure of the ICC and eating club officer corps.

This calendar year alone, at least five officers have already handed in their resignations. Earlier this month, Trey Aslanian ’18 and Divya Mehta ’18 were asked to step down by Tiger Inn’s graduate board as TI president and safety czar, respectively. Around the same time, Kevin Liu ’18 and Alex Vogelsang ’18 voluntarily stepped down as Tower Club technology chairs, where they maintained the club’s computer cluster, entertainment systems, website, and listserv. David Crane ’18 stepped down voluntarily as Ivy Club intramural chair around April this year.

Matthew Lucas ‘18, current president of the Interclub Council, said that there are “many disparate reasons” for why an eating club officer might step down. Lucas is also Colonial Club president emeritus.

Lucas said that an officer might be asked to step down by the club’s graduate board of alumni, who oversee the management of the club, if it feels that an officer has “failed to fully exercise their duties with proper judgment and care.” Officers are also required to step down if they are “severely disciplined” by the University or by legal action. Finally, an officer may choose to step down voluntarily for personal reasons.

All 11 current eating club presidents either did not respond to requests for comment as of publication, declined them, or deferred comments to the ICC.

Lucas said that being an officer at any eating club carries with it “a similar weighty responsibility.” The officers have to take care of the current membership of each of their clubs, the clubhouses, and the club’s institutions, which include thousands of alumni and more than a century of history and traditions.

Former ICC president and Colonial president emeritus Christopher Yu ’17 added that the work of an officer can be incredibly time-consuming, given the cleanups following events like nights out, meetings with the rest of the corps and other stakeholders, mandatory event attendance, and everything else required.

According to the Statement of Principles on the ICC website, other responsibilities of the officers include ensuring that there is no gender-based discrimination, sexual misconduct, severe intoxication, or hazing in the club. Additionally, officers are required to attend several sessions of University-mandated training, such as for alcohol risk reduction, upon election.

Some officers’ failures to meet their responsibilities over the years has resulted in sentences to jail time and charges on several counts such as maintaining a nuisance on nights out. Some of those incidents, and the resulting changes to the ICC and club officer corps structure, are as detailed below.

1900s: Sign-in ceremonies result in jail sentences for officers

The sign-in ceremonies of Feb. 6, 1988, resulted in 39 students landing in McCosh Health Center with alcohol poisoning and seven more being sent directly to PMC. One of the seven students was in a coma, and the other six underwent treatment for alcohol poisoning.

Former Charter president Kenneth Simpler ’88 and social chairwoman Lisa Napolitano ’88 were sentenced to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine for serving alcohol to student minors during the sign in ceremonies. Simpler and Napolitano had been in office for five days when they were charged — they had only taken office on Feb. 1.

The charge of serving alcohol against Kristin Seymour ’88, former social chairman at Cloister, was dismissed after fellow club members testified to her non-involvement in sign-in activities beyond booking the band that night. James Martin ’87, another former social chairman at Cloister, pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disturbing the peace to avoid a possible jail sentence. Former Cloister president Jay Weiss ’88 was also served with the charges. Seymour and Weiss were charged even though they were former officers because Martin and the rest of his officer corp had only taken charge at midnight during the ceremonies.

After the month-long investigation and trial that ensued, charges against all the Cloister officers were dropped or plea-bargained, whereas the Charter officers were given nine months of probation instead of six-month jail sentences.

2000s: 13 eating club officers charged by Borough Police

Five of the 13 officers charged with serving alcohol to minors and maintaining a nuisance belonged to Colonial.

Former Colonial president Chris Langhammer ’03, and former Colonial officers Anna-Rachel Dray-Siegel ’04 and Justin Mirabal ’03 were each issued a summons for serving alcohol to minors as a result of the undercover investigation on Feb. 4, 2003, when the Borough Police sent undercover officers posing as students into clubs to watch for underage drinking. Later that year, former Colonial president Ben Handzo ’04 was charged with the same two counts when an intoxicated underage female was transported from the club to PMC.

Finally, members of Colonial Club spent 2007 completing 500 hours of community service as a result of a plea bargain by Colonial president emeritus Tommy Curry ’08 in May. The charges of maintaining a nuisance and serving alcohol to a minor were first brought up against Curry and then transferred to the club as a collective entity.

The remaining eight officers charged belonged to eight distinct eating clubs.

The only officer to hand in a resignation immediately upon being charged with making alcohol available to a minor was former Tower president Cullen Newton ’04, who resigned in December 2003.

Tower vice president Matt Nickoloff ’04 was then appointed president. However, on Jan. 26, 2004, the Borough Police dropped charges against Newton due to lack of evidence.

“I was extremely saddened to have to step down as president of a club I love so much. The knowledge that there was no evidence behind the charges was, needless to say, very frustrating,” Newton said in an earlier Daily Princetonian article.

Terrace Club and TI presidents, who were also charged on counts of serving alcohol to minors and maintaining a nuisance, had their charges transferred to their respective clubs’ graduate boards. Terrace president emerita Patti Chao ’07, who was charged when student fell during initiations, was cleared when the club’s graduate board pled guilty and paid a fine of $664. TI president emeritus Chris Merrick ’08 was cleared when his charge of serving alcohol to a minor was transferred to the TI Graduate Board and later dropped.

Charter, Cloister, and Cottage Club presidents at the time were cleared of their charges for events that occurred in 2007. Charges against former Charter and ICC president Will Scharf ’08 for a minor altercation that ensued between two junior female students after one poured beer down the other’s back were dropped after an investigation found lack of direct involvement. Cloister president emerita Savannah Sachs ’08 and Cottage president emeritus Vince Ley ’08 were also cleared of their charges due to their non-involvement with the nights out in question.

Charges brought up against former Cap & Gown Club president Matthew Groh ’03 and former Quadrangle Club president Rolando Amaya ’03 that resulted from the Borough Police’s undercover investigation on Feb. 4, 2003, were later dropped as well.

The 2010s: Nine officers removed among other voluntary step downs

Earlier this month, Aslanian and Mehta were asked to step down by TI’s graduate board of governors as a result of “the actions and/or inactions” of TI officers on Dec. 8, the night of the club’s sophomore semiformals party, according to a ‘Prince’ article.

The lack of extra levels of security at semiformals led to an unsafe environment at the club with excessive levels of alcohol, vomiting, and physicality, according to an email sent by TI’s graduate board to its members on Dec. 11.

Aslanian and Mehta did not respond to requests for comment. Current vice president Allison Lee ’18 will be TI’s interim president until officer elections in the spring.

Aslanian’s and Mehta’s resignations add to the two waves of TI officer resignations in 2014, which were also requested by the club’s graduate board.

Former TI president Ryan Cash ’15, house manager Dror Liebenthal ’15, treasurer Will Siroky ’15, and safety czar Victoria Majchrzak ’15 offered their resignations in March 2014 to the graduate board after a 21 Club party took place at TI, according to ‘Prince’ reporting.

The 21 Club is a semi-secret heavy drinking club whose membership consists of 21 juniors and 21 seniors, mostly coming from Ivy, Cap, Cottage, and TI, according to further ‘Prince’ reporting

Robert “Hap” Cooper ’82, TI’s graduate board president, who received the officers’ letters of resignation, was president of the 21 Club during his time at the University.

Later in fall 2014, former TI vice president Adam Krop ’15 and treasurer Andrew Hoffenberg ’15 were fired from their positions following emails they sent to the club membership. Krop was fired for circulating a photo of a female student performing oral sex on a male student, while Hoffenberg was fired for an email proposing that TI membership “boo” Sally Frank ’80, whose activism was instrumental in getting the clubs to start accepting women.

‘Prince’ reporting shows this wave of officer removals in 2014 led to a letter signed by more than 100 TI alumni members condemning the recent behavior of the membership.

However, TI is not the only club with officer resignations in the past decade. In the past two calendar years alone, Tower has seen three of its technology chairs step down voluntarily. Aside from the position of treasurer, Tower’s two technology chairs are the only appointed positions on the club’s 12-person officer corps.

Liu and Vogelsang stepped down voluntarily from their appointed roles as tech chairs on Oct. 31 and Nov. 2, respectively, according to resignation emails sent to the club membership on those dates.

Vogelsang deferred comment to her resignation email sent to the club on Nov. 2. Liu declined to comment.

According to Vogelsang’s email, she resigned as tech chair due to “a sometimes disrespectful environment and unreconcilable philosophical differences” between her and other officers.

Vogelsang did not respond to request for further clarification as of press time. Tower president Christopher Jagoe ’18 declined to comment.

Liu’s and Vogelsang’s resignations followed that of former Tower tech chair Maddie Clayton ’17. Clayton resigned from her position last year because she dropped out of Tower to join another eating club, according to Graham Turk ’17, who took on the role of Tech Chair after Clayton dropped.

Indeed, several voluntary officer resignations have stemmed from purely logistical reasons.

According to Crane - who stepped down as Ivy’s IM chair around April - Ivy Club has seen voluntary step-downs and turnover in some of its officership, since positions like IM chair are typically “handed down.”

“My predecessor, whom I was close to and who knew I would be active in the role because of my previous attendance at numerous IM sporting events, handed it down to me even though I already had a 'fake officer' role [community service chair],” Crane explained.

According to Crane, “fake officers” are Ivy officers who do not live in the club, including IM chair, food chair, community service chairs, and tech chair.

“It would have been irregular for me to hold both [IM and community service] positions, even though I probably could have handled the time commitment and didn't mind, so I, in turn, passed the IM chair position down to a current junior who I knew would fill the role well,” Crane said.

Crane remains Ivy’s community service chair, as of publication.

Ivy president Folasade Runcie ’18 did not respond to a request for comment.

On the sign-in club side, Samuel Smiddy ’17 stepped down from his positions as Cloister and ICC president after he was found to be in unlawful possession of a handgun during his stay at Cloister Inn, according to a ‘Prince’ article published last year.

Smiddy did not respond to a request for comment.

Yu said that when the position of ICC president became vacant, he was elected by a vote of the other eating club presidents in November 2016. Yu was the only candidate who ran for the position, since the presidency was viewed as one that detracts from the attention each president could give their own clubs.

A look around the Street today

Officer resignations and charges brought up against the officers have helped catalyze changes both to the structure of the ICC and to distinct clubs’ officer corps.

According to Yu, the ICC has grown “closer and more cooperative than in the past,” especially in light of increased interest among club presidents in contributing to combat Street-wide issues. One of the main changes to the ICC’s structure has been the introduction of the post of vice president, as opposed to just one ICC president as in the past decades. This new post would allow smoother functioning if an ICC president were to step down from eating club officership again.

Lucas added that the eating club presidents also recently collaborated on adopting a shared statement of principles to address Street-wide issues such as recruitment, diversity and inclusion, safety, alcohol use, meal exchange, and the clubs’ relationship with the University.

In terms of individual club officer corps, there are currently 107 eating club officers distributed among the University’s 11 eating clubs, according to the counts on their websites. This does not include some appointed positions and other chairs such as community service, alumni relations, and sustainability.

Quad has the biggest officer corps, with 19 members, followed by Cap with 14. Colonial has 13 officers. Tower and Charter each have 12 officers. Cannon Club has 10. TI and Terrace each have six officers. Cloister, Cottage, and Ivy each have five officers in addition to their other Chairs.

Several of these clubs have designated officers for safety and security — for example, Tower’s security chair and TI’s safety czar.

While the size and composition of officer corps fluctuates both between and within clubs each year, all officers work together to uphold the clubs’ collective statement of principles

According to Lucas, eating club officers are also currently engaged with various members of the University administration and community in a year-long task force to address collaborative initiatives toward community-building and diversity and inclusion in the clubs and on campus as a whole.

Report: No Chance Dirk Ever Leaves…Bigger Than Basketball

Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images

Just before Marc Stein reported that the Mavs “are in, with a legit chance [to sign] both” Mike Conley and Hassan Whiteside, he also had several comments on the future of Dirk Nowitzki.

On Zach Lowe’s podcast on Tuesday, Dallas Resident Marc Stein was pressed with the question, “how real is the Dirk-thing…is he looking?” In regards to the recent report that teams, like the Warriors, have real interest in stealing Dirk away.

Lowe clarified that he doesn’t think Dirk will leave and that Dirk “has never even really looked” to sign with any other team. Stein responded by emphatically saying, “there’s no chance [Dirk] would ever leave…I can’t imagine a scenario where he seriously entertained an offer from another team.

Neither can we.

Stein continued by laughing and pointing out that “he’s not going anywhere…teams are always interested but don’t even know how to pursue him.” And how should teams pursue what Stein calls the “Godfather of Dallas Sports?” As MFFLs we’re well aware of what Dirk means to the Dallas Mavericks organization and this city, but they went on to explain that to everyone else that might not understand. Stein said Dirk is “bigger than basketball…bigger than any Cowboy” which seems ridiculous in a city where Jerry Jones exists, but it’s true.

He also points out that Dirk has “been a Mav as long as he lived in his country of origin” (Germany). Which is sort of amazing and a testament to the longevity of his career in the NBA and with the Mavericks. Stein finished the conversation by saying that Dirk “is very Reggie Miller-esque” and “loves that he’s played in one city for one franchise.” However many years Dirk has left in his storied career we love it too.

Davis Polk Advises Morgan Stanley on Its $2 Billion Offering of Fixed-to-Floating-Rate Senior Notes Based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate

Davis Polk advised Morgan Stanley in connection with its SEC-registered global offering of $2 billion aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating-rate senior notes due 2025. During the floating interest rate period, the notes bear interest by reference to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), compounded daily over each quarterly interest payment period. The SOFR compounding mechanics are based on those published by ISDA, while the waterfall of benchmark replacements and related adjustments that would apply upon a discontinuation of SOFR are based on the Alternative Reference Rates Committee’s recommended fallback language. The lead manager for the underwriters was Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC.

The Davis Polk corporate team included partner Christopher S. Schell, counsel Vidal Vanhoof and associate Jack A. Liechtung. The tax team included partner Po Sit, counsel Alon Gurfinkel and associates Andrew A. Smith and Sunny Kim. Partner Gregory S. Rowland, counsel Sarah E. Kim and associate Sijia Cai provided 1940 Act advice. Members of the Davis Polk team are based in the New York and London offices.

The Ex-Wives

The Ex-Wives

I loved writing this novel. I stole some of its jokes from my partner at the time, the cartoonist Mel Calman, himself the veteran of several marriages. Its main character, Russell Buffery, isn’t based on Mel but has some of his problems, including a bad back, assorted step-children and a tendency to find himself in vaguely humiliating situations. I became very fond of him, and even fond of his various ex-wives, despite this bad behaviour and his shameless adultery.

Book Description

Meet Buffy.

With three ex-wives, a failing career and only his dog George for company, Buffy’s bachelorhood is looking worryingly confirmed.

Until he meets Celeste.

Dazzled by love, Buffy has no idea that Celeste is systematically researching his ex-wives, children and step-children, and unearthing secrets that will change all their lives…

If you're praying for an end to the heat wave, keep praying — but do it indoors.

There's no relief from the heat in sight as the weekend gears up. In fact, forecasters are now expecting Sunday to be just as hot as Saturday, when it could feel like 111 degrees in Wilmington, 106 degrees in Dover and 110 degrees in Georgetown.

Clouds in Wilmington Friday morning would be burnt off by a rising sun, lifting temperatures to a high of 96 degrees, said National Weather Service Meteorologist Patrick O'Hara. Between the heat and the humidity, the heat index will be 107 degrees.

Dover is forecast to be slightly cooler, with a high of 94 degrees and a heat index of 103 degrees. In Georgetown, the high will be around 96 degrees and the heat index will be 105 degrees.

The air mass sitting on Delaware is hot and stagnant, O'Hara said. The sun gets high in the sky this time of year and shines for hours and hours. In short, it's the mid-summer.

O'Hara said Saturday's forecast is basically Friday's, plus 3 degrees. That could make the heat index in Wilmington 110 degrees without rain or wind to bring temperatures down.

The heat wave strikes Delaware just as the state fair is opening for its 100th year. Fairgoers will have to take precautions to avoid injury and exhaustion caused by the heat.

Saturday was expected to be the top of this heat wave, but O'Hara said Sunday now is predicted to be equally hot. But the heat wave won't last much longer than that.

High temperatures Monday will fall to about 90 degrees before the outbreak of thunderstorms with the advance of a cold front from Canada, according to O'Hara.

Those afternoon and evening storms will signal an end to the heat wave. He said high temperatures in Wilmington Tuesday are expected to be a blissfully cool 84 degrees.

Heat safety tips

Here are a few tips from the National Weather Service for keeping yourself healthy and safe in extreme heat:

  • Slow down: Reduce, eliminate or reschedule strenuous activities until the coolest time of the day. Children, seniors and anyone with health problems should stay in the coolest available place, not necessarily indoors.
  • Dress for summer. Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing to reflect heat and sunlight.
  • Eat light, cool, easy-to-digest foods such as fruit or salads. If you pack food, put it in a cooler or carry an ice pack. Don't leave it sitting in the sun.
  • Drink plenty of water (not very cold), non-alcoholic and decaffeinated fluids, even if you don't feel thirsty.
  • Use air conditioners or spend time in air-conditioned locations such as malls and libraries.
  • Use portable electric fans to take hot air from rooms or draw in cooler air.
  • Do not direct the flow of portable electric fans toward yourself when the room temperature is hotter than 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The dry blowing air will dehydrate you faster, endangering your health.
  • Minimize direct exposure to the sun. Sunburn reduces your body's ability to dissipate heat.
  • Take a cool bath or shower.
  • Check on older, sick, or frail people who may need help responding to the heat.
  • Don't leave valuable electronic equipment, such as cellphones and GPS units, sitting in hot cars.

The Elements of a Beautiful Smile
By Dental Designs of Solomon Valley, PA.
July 01, 2012
Category: Oral Health
Tags: cosmetic dentistry   smile

Humans naturally react with pleasure to a beautiful smile. Starting with our mother's joy at seeing our first smile, we have learned throughout our lives that a smile is an invitation to a positive interaction. But are some smiles more beautiful than others? What is it that makes a smile beautiful?

As with art and music, people's perceptions of beauty differ with their backgrounds and culture. Most people respond well to an appearance of healthy teeth and gums. Some feel that teeth must be very white and bright, while others look for even alignment and proportionally sized teeth. With today's dentistry, all of these factors can be changed and enhanced.

Let's look at the components of a smile, starting with the teeth. Evenly sized, white teeth are generally considered to be the basis of an attractive smile. Chipped or discolored front teeth can be repaired by bonding tooth-colored composite resin restorations. Thin porcelain veneers can be applied to teeth that are too small, misshapen or discolored. Tooth colored fillings can be used to repair damaged or decayed back teeth, or porcelain crowns may be used to replace the top part of a tooth that has been seriously damaged. If teeth are missing because of trauma or loss due to decay, today they can be replaced by dental implants, topped with crowns that are colored and shaped exactly like the natural teeth.

Of course, if your teeth emerge from inflamed, infected gums, your smile needs improvement. Healthy teeth and gums result from good dental hygiene habits and regular professional dental cleanings and checkups. Teeth can be whitened and brightened both through home methods and in the dental office. Ask us about the options available for tooth whitening.

Another factor that goes into a smile is the relation of the upper to the lower jaw, or the bite. A poor bite is called a malocclusion. Orthodontic treatment, with the use of traditional braces or clear aligners, can move the teeth into a better bite position so that they look and function better.

Repairing parts of your smile that make you feel self conscious will help your smile in more ways than one. If you feel good about yourself, you look better. We get the process started, and you do the rest.

Oil painting created to forever remind the owner of the impact her beloved dog made on her heart

Unique and Personalized Gift Ideas: Custom Paintings and More

Any gift given from the heart is bound to be appreciated. However, if you are in need of something out of the ordinary, it might be time to explore a few new options when it comes to presents, whatever the event may be.

The prospect of turning a photo to painting, creating a lasting memory, along with another particularly ‘outside the box’ gift idea are guaranteed to get your creative juices flowing as you decide on the perfect present for that special occasion coming up.

Is Painting Still Relevant?

Nothing captures a memory quite like a picture does. Perhaps this is why paintings are such a classic way to represent an emotion, event, or person. They succeed in memorializing a specific moment for a lifetime.

Because of their transportive and emotional nature, paintings become family heirlooms, bound to be admired for years and years and placed where they can be enjoyed by all.

Though portrait painting may at times seem to be a lost art, the emotion this art form has the ability to evoke has not changed over time and the idea of creating a custom painting is still very much alive.

Thankfully, there are still avenues through which to commission these paintings and make them fully customizable.

Which is the Best Website to Buy Online Handmade Portraits?

Paint Your Life makes portrait painting easier than it has ever been before. The process of creating a personalized portrait is broken down into just a few easy steps, providing an enjoyable and worry-free experience for the purchaser.

Paint Your Life is home to many talented artists who represent expertise in a variety of painting techniques, ensuring that there are many painters who specialize in the medium you seek to choose from and are ready to take on your painting. The mediums offered include:

  • Charcoal
  • Pencil
  • Watercolor
  • Acrylic
  • Pastel

By browsing the work of various artists and types of paintings, you’ll be given the opportunity to select the medium that best suits the image you wish to have transferred to canvas.

How Does a Custom Painting Work?

What are the steps involved in commissioning a custom portrait?

  1. Select a photograph.
  2. Choose an artist whose work and painting technique best fit your photograph and your vision for your customized picture.
  3. Upload the photo.
  4. Inform Paint Your Life about any alterations you would like to make to the photograph, which will be what the artist will use as a guide.
  5. Select the desired size for your portrait and a frame as well.
  6. Approve the updates you receive from the artist during the creation process. If there are any adjustments you would like made along the way, you need only submit a request and the painter will accommodate.
  7. Receive your custom painting and make room for the entrance of a gift that will stick around for many, many years.

How Do People Feel About Custom Paintings?

Whether you seek to memorialize a beautiful family moment or a pet who is no longer living, a gift as personal as a custom painting is bound to elicit a touching and heartfelt reaction from the recipient.

Take a look at how pleased one woman was upon receiving her custom portrait. Not only was she excited over the handmade nature of the artwork, but she was also thrilled by the prospect of sharing the excitement with her significant other.

But that’s not all!

The following paintyourlife review is a testament to the flexible and customizable nature of having a personalized portrait created through Paint Your Life. Through mixing and matching photos, the portrait was designed exactly as the commissioner had hoped, making the inclusion of each family member possible.

How to Solve the Customer Experience Puzzle

If you've worked through a jigsaw puzzle, you know the importance of the box. Not because it holds the pieces, but because it shows you what the puzzle will look like once assembled. Without this point of reference, you're forced to blindly navigate the puzzle, unsure how and where each piece connects into place.

How many times have your customer experiences reflected a box-less puzzle, lacking clear direction or logic? It's happened to me a few times. Recently, I attempted to conduct a "quick and easy transaction" with my bank only to experience a series of frustrations. I think you will find that my omnichannel customer journey left something to be desired. Yet there is also an opportunity to learn from my bank's mistakes in order to improve upon your own customer service processes.  Here's what happened:

Mobile: First, I used my iPhone to research which forms I needed to fill out to complete a transaction through my bank. But I couldn't fill out the appropriate forms though my smart device because they weren't mobile-friendly, so I moved on to their Web site.

Website: After scanning various Web pages, I finally found the correct online forms. After I carefully filled out the forms, I tried several times to submit them, to no avail. This left me questioning whether I was technology-challenged or if the bank's technology was simply inadequate.

Web Chat: Next, I sought assistance from the online chat agent when a screen popped up asking if I needed help. I provided the same information I had just entered in the online form, but the chat agent was unable to help me, claiming that the forms could not be submitted online; the agent instructed me to call my bank's contact center.

Phone Call: I dialed a generic 800 number and was forced to provide my information once again. This time, the live agent said he could email me the forms, which I could then fill out (again) and email back to him.

Email: After waiting to receive a follow-up email from the agent, I filled out the forms and sent them back to the bank. Two days later, I received an email instructing me to call the bank service center yet again to complete the process.

Second Phone Call: While grinding my teeth, I called my bank's 800 number and provided my information (again) to an agent. Subsequently, I was told that I needed to print, sign, and fax back the form to complete the request. After completing this final step, my request was finally fulfilled. I breathed a sigh of relief.

Lessons Learned

Not only was this experience frustrating and time-consuming for me, but it was also costly for my bank. Since my bank’s communication channels were not integrated and its agents were not empowered with the right tools and training, considerable time and resources were wasted to complete my request. Most importantly, after this experience, I am now less inclined to conduct business with this bank.

Would a more engaged, empowered omnichannel workforce translated into a different (better) customer experience with this bank? Absolutely. Due to competitive pressures and the need to communicate with customers across multiple channels, it has become increasingly important to modernize contact center technology so customer-facing personnel can handle tasks and customer requests timely and effectively.

A good omnichannel workforce planning strategy can help you meet three important business objectives: (1) a better customer experience, (2) reduced costs, and (3) reduced employee turnover thanks to greater agent satisfaction. Here's more on how an omnichannel strategy will lead to greater business success:

Improved customer experience: From a tactical perspective, this is where you need to think about meeting service level commitments (SLAs) and improving key performance indicators (KPIs) across touch points and channels. You need to be sure you have the right people with the right skills handling the right interactions at the right times. Businesses that have done this have achieved impressive results, including reducing the average wait times (AWT) by 75 percent and improving first contact resolution by 5 percent.

Reduced costs: Driving operational efficiency is a necessary component of any well-run contact center. Through integration and automation, you can centralize control over the organization, reduce operational costs, and enable workers to be more efficient.

Increase agent satisfaction and reduce turnover: Ensuring that your employees are interacting with customers in the right way will make their lives easier. In addition, providing ongoing opportunities for skills and productivity improvements helps your employees stay motivated and engaged. Implementing omnichannel strategies, for example, have shown to increase agent productivity by 20 percent.

Yvonne Ba is senior manager, product marketing, at Genesys, providing the marketing strategy, awareness, sales enablement, and engagement for next-generation innovations and contact center capabilities.

Mexican ruling party roiled by chief refusing to step down in leadership tussle

Mexican ruling party roiled by chief refusing to step down in leadership tussle
Representative Image Image Credit: Flickr

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's ruling party plunged into a divisive leadership struggle on Monday when party chief Yeidckol Polevnsky refused to stand down after being voted out by opponents.

Lopez Obrador's National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) party reshaped Mexico's political landscape with a convincing victory in the 2018 elections, winning majorities with its allies in both houses of Congress. But MORENA, formally registered in 2014, has struggled to pick a new leader amid infighting between different wings of the party.

Divisions in MORENA at a time when the economy is stagnant and homicides are at record levels risk eroding the party's grip on Congress with a new lower house due to be elected next year. Protracted infighting within the Mexican left, which has long been highly factional, could also be an unwelcome distraction from Lopez Obrador's plans for a so-called "recall" referendum on his leadership in the spring of 2022.

On Sunday senior MORENA congressman Alfonso Ramirez Cuellar was elected as temporary leader by a party congress of more than 1,000 representatives until a new leadership election is held in a few months' time. But Polevnsky, who had led the party since Lopez Obrador stepped down before the 2018 general election, on Monday refused to recognize Sunday's vote, saying it broke party rules.

"We will continue to lead in strict adherence to (party) legality and our statute," she said on a video on Twitter. Some sections of the party-backed Polevnsky while others welcomed Ramirez Cuellar's appointment.

Lopez Obrador declined to be publicly drawn into the dispute. "It should be resolved democratically," Lopez Obrador said during his daily morning press conference. "Don't get me involved in the question of party politics."

Sledgehammer has announced Double Weapon XP in the Call of Duty: WWII 'Hardpoint' playlist for a limited time as a 'Midweek Mobilize' update.

In order to keep the game fresh after multiple months since its release, Sledgehammer, the developer of CoD: WWII, has maintained a level of steady updates and patches to provide new content.

Especially with the outside success of titles such as Fortnite: Battle Royale which has received immense support from Epic Games, Sledgehammer understands the importance of new content.

Alongside additions such as Community Events, items, and other physical content, the developer typically announces a weekly 'Midweek Mobilize' playlist to give players a variety of different boosters.

On May 9th, it was announced that the 'Hardpoint' playlist will grant users with Double Weapon XP, allowing them to level-up different guns at a much greater speed.

Double Weapon XP in Hardpoint is set to last until Thursday, May 10th at 10 AM PDT (1 PM EST, 6 PM BST).

Our Artist-in-Residence, Jon McNeal, has photography on view in “Territories,” a two-person show at Art Zone 461. Jon’s work is featured alongside Heidi McDowell’s paintings- the first in a series of “couples” shows at Art Zone.

“Territories” is an interesting expression of West Coast grandeur, as seen by both artists. Owing to my East Coast upbringing, the imagery of Jon and Heidi’s limitless orchards and brooding seas, feels like the kind of big nature you can only find on the very brink of the Pacific.

After walking through the show I noticed a number of markers in Heidi’s paintings, inclusions of photographic “flaws” that are entirely intentional. Lens fringe, glare, and lens based depth of field views all reference her process.

For me, it was an unexpected combination, to be drawn into the weight and color of her landscapes, and become aware of the photographic indicators that, were they in a digital image, would have been edited out.

The cyan and magenta fringe served her compositions well, alongside sun glare and motion blurs in other shot-through-the-window works. All of these things seem so much a part of how we view photographs most often, that her imagery would have seemed more bare without them.

 Jon sharing a few stories. Jon sharing a few stories.

Be sure to catch their show at Art Zone 461, before it closes, on view through October 14.

Digital Loggers

Syslog is a standard for logging event data.  A syslog network is composed of at least two machines - the system(s) that transmit event messages (ie. power controllers), and the server that logs events, reports, and analyzes the data.   Most syslog servers support email notification.   DLI power controllers support the syslog protocall to track and log events such as logins, outlet switching, power consumption, etc.  To activate syslog on a DLI power controller, simply add the IP address of the syslog server on the SETUP page.   Any number of power controllers may report to a single syslog server.

Syslog can be used in combination with scripting.  For example, you may want to periodically report power consumption or outlet status. By writing a simple script, you can send periodic reports via syslog.  Major events like logins, logouts, and changes to settings and power switching will be sent automatically.  Enter the target IP of your syslog server on the setup page of the power controller. By writing a simple script, you can expand reporting capability to send almost anything via syslog.

Separate to syslog, all DLI power controllers have a local event log. Note that the local log is volatile and circular, with old messages being replaced by newer ones; messages aren't persisted across reboots. For persistent non-volatile storage, configure the switch to forward the log to a syslog server. DLI Power Controllers use the standard UDP port 514 to communicate via syslog. To disable reporting, set the syslog IP to

In WiFi equipped power controllers, you can limit the severity of the locally recorded log messages by setting a minimal severity. All messages, regardless of severity, are sent; the receiver is expected to do the filtering.  To change the UDP port in these controllers, you may SSH in and use:  uci set system.@system[0].log_ip=''   uci commit  reboot

Here's a popular free syslog server for Windows.  Here's a step-by-step sylog installation under debian Linux.   Here are some tips for MacOS and Solaris users.  In BSD, we use syslogd and logcheck. Alternatives to SYSLOG  include internal event notification system, rolling your own using the RestAPI, and this Windows Utility for our earlier power controllers.

Thanks to our customer John Hasemeir for directions to these syslog utilities:

Everything Announced at Samsung Unpacked 2020: Galaxy S20, Z Fold, 5G & More

So What Was Actually Unpacked At The Samsung Event?

It is getting increasingly challenging for tech giants to convince you to upgrade so they are under pressure to create new smartphone features and designs.

Samsung’s Unpacked Event took place this week where they unveiled the much-leaked Samsung Galaxy S20 series which included four new flagship handsets, the jump to 5G and

The key highlights from the event were as follows:

  • Not one, not two but THREE new Samsung Galaxy S20 smartphones ALL with 5G and one with 100x super zoom. The fact that they jumped from the S10 to the S20 is apparently to celebrate the fact that we are in a new decade.
  • The Samsung Galaxy S20, S20 Plus and S20 Ultra are your three choices with the S20 also be available in a 4G-only variant.
  • Galaxy Buds+ which are wireless headphones to rival the Apple Airpods
  • The Galaxy Z Flip which is Samsung’s new foldable phone with an impressive 6.7-inch folding screen
  • A new partnership with Netflix as ‘Samsung’s entertainment partner’ which will give users access to exclusive content based on Netflix originals

The Phones

The Samsung Galaxy S20 will start at £799 or £899 for the 5G version with the ‘all bells and whistles’ model coming in at £1,399. Although more people are choosing to buy their phones SIM Free, most will purchase these on a pay monthly network contract.

This pricing is roughly in line with the Apple iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro which will deter a lot of Samsung fans who may be forced to the more mid-range Samsung devices as a result – it’s worth noting though that the still-amazing Samsung Galaxy S10 from 2019 has just had a massive price drop.

The new phones come with under-screen ultrasonic fingerprint scanners and facial recognition like the Galaxy S10 so you can unlock your phone with finger or your face, unlike the latest iPhone which only uses facial recognition (or as old-school key code).

Excitingly all three models are available as ‘5G ready’ too which will eventually offer speeds up to 10x times faster than 4G for the user when available. Samsung recognise though that 5G isn’t of interest to everyone just yet, so they released a 4G version of the S20 too.

Samsung are holding up the Galaxy S20 Ultra as the phone for photographers too as they know how much we love to upload top quality snaps to social media. These smartphones are also able to capture 8K video footage although only real video experts would probably be able to notice the difference from 4K, unless you’re playing back your video on a nice big 8K TV.

The Ultra also has an incredible zoom which they call the ‘Space Zoom’ which uses a combination of optical, digital and AI to zoom in on your subject 100x!  There is also an insane amount of RAM available which is superfast memory designed to store data on all the programs and apps that you have open to allow for quicker multi-tasking.

The Buds

The Galaxy Buds have some attractive features including 3 built-in mics for making calls in crowded areas, two speakers in each bud and enhanced ambient sound so you can be more aware of your surrounding as required. They also work with an iPhone or iPad which is an intelligent and enterprising stroke of genius from Samsung.

The Flip

The Galaxy Z Flip is an improvement on the Galaxy Fold as it has a ‘hideaway hinge’ which prevents dust and debris getting in.

It comes with free access to YouTube Premium which figures as Samsung is positioning this product as the device for binge-watchers who will adore the size of the screen when unfolded.

Are folding phones the future?  That depends on us lot, do we need them? Samsung certainly seem to think so as do Motorola.

It’s early days for the tech though but it is improving, with Samsung claiming that the Z Fold’s hinge is good for at least 200,000 open / closes.

Commemorative and collector coins

You may receive euro coins from any of the 19 euro countries. And from four mini states: Monaco, Andorra, San Marino and Vatican City. Next to the standard coins, there are commemorative coins and collector coins.

Special €2 coins are often issued to commemorate historic events.

Commemorative coins

Greek commemorative coin marking the Olympic Games in Athens.

You can use €2 commemorative coins to pay in any of the euro area countries. They are usually issued to commemorate a historic event. Sometimes they highlight current events of historic importance, such as the royal succession in the Netherlands. Greece issued the very first commemorative coin. This was on the occasion of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.

Collector coins

Collector coins always have a non-standard value, such as €5 or €10. Collector coins are legal tender only in the issuing country. The latest Dutch coin for collectors is the €10 piece to commemorate the 50th birthday of King Willem-Alexander. The sailor's knot symbolises unity and solidarity, as shipping brings together the old and the new. The banners are inspired on the reliefs of the Dam Square Palace in Amsterdam; the King's portrait is based on the stately portrait also depicted on the King's tenner in 2013.

Dutch collector coin marking the 50th anniversary of king Willem-Alexander.

Changing collector coins for euros

If you wish to exchange a collector coin for euros, you can go to DNB. DNB will change your collector coin for euros. You will for example receive five euros for the silver €5 Bosch coin, meaning that you will not be reimbursed for the additional value that the collector coin has. Coin traders will often pay you more for your coins.

Why Money Really Rules The World

131 minutes 2012 9.0/10 based on 12 votes

This film presents serious research that answers some really important questions about our financial system. It attempts to provide well-investigated answers and tackle this issue from a UK perspective. The film painstakingly explains the inner workings of Central Banks and divulges the money creation process.

Due to the fact that money drives almost all activities on the planet, it’s essential that we understand it. Simple questions like these usually get ignored: where does money come from? Who decides how it gets used? And the impact of not knowing the real answers can be seen on every level.

The monetary system is what provides the foundation for international dominance and national control. Most people naively expect the government to solve their problems and provide everyone with a fair chance to accumulate riches. What they fail to realize is that governments don’t really have as much power as one might think they have.

Governments make a profit by issuing currency. This is called seigniorage and it’s the difference between the face value of notes and coins and their production costs. For instance, it costs the Bank of England about three or four pence to print a ten-pound note and it sells it to the banks at face value. The profit made goes directly to the treasury and lowers taxes.

Prior to 1844 private banks created bank notes. However, some of them went a little overboard and this caused inflation and destabilized the economy. Because of that, a law was passed to take away the power to create notes and coins from the bank and return it to the state.

According to Ben Dyson from Positive Money, the reality now is that most money is digital— numbers in a computer system. This digital or electronic money is what is being used to run the economy. This is how banks are creating money these days.

There is a lot of misconception about how banks work. According to professor Richard Werner, “it’s basically an accounting trick… Banks create money; they don’t lend it. When a bank gives out what is called a loan, it basically pretends that you have deposited the money… it has to invent the liability…this is how the money supply is created.”  In other words, when a bank issues a loan they create new commercial bank money. When the person repays the loan, the commercial bank money is destroyed and the bank keeps the interest as profit.

It was Paul Tucker—Deputy Governor of the Bank of England who said, “by far the largest role in creating money is played by the banking sector. When banks make loans they create additional deposits for those that have borrowed the money.”

Banks create new money whenever they extend credit, buy existing assets, or make payments on their own accounts. New commercial bank money enters circulation when people use the credit that has been granted to them by banks.

If you want to discover your role in the economy, watch this now.

Keep the Coast on Your Left

Kayaking From LA to Tijuana To Fight Tuna Overfishing

31 minutes 2016 8.1/10 based on 7 votes

These days, if you want to get your message across, you need to think outside the box. This is exactly what Andrew Szabo, an environmental activist and novice kayaker did.

He wanted to raise awareness about overfishing and the destruction of our oceans. He could have written a blog or organized a march; those would have certainly grabbed somebody’s attention. Instead, he decided to set out on a 200-mile journey from Los Angeles to Tijuana, Mexico.

Andrew purchased a used 18-foot kayak online so he could embark on his great adventure. He redecorated the kayak and named it Arcoiris Explorer after a famous Greenpeace activist ship called The Rainbow Warrior. (Arcoiris is Spanish for rainbow).

The Rainbow Warrior was bombed and sunk by the French Secret Service off the coast of New Zealand about three decades ago.  A photographer was killed during the attack. The crew was on a mission to put an end to French nuclear weapons testing in the South Pacific.

As an environmental activist, Andrew is concerned about overfishing because of its devastating effects on the oceans. Overfishing occurs when nets the size of football fields are used for fishing. Whatever gets caught in the net gets taken out of the ocean. The nets used for catching tuna also catch turtles, dolphins, sharks, and other species. Sadly, these do not get thrown back into the ocean so they can continue to live. Some brands of tuna are careful in making sure that only tuna gets caught and sold as food, but some of the most popular brands are actually contributing to the depletion of the oceans.

When Andrew set out from Manhattan Beach on his 150-mile journey he was not sure how his body would take the daily abuse. After the blisters, rough waves, noisy beaches, kayaking with dolphins and running into a family of sea lions, Andrew finally reached San Elijo Lagoon on day 8. This was the first time he would launch from a lagoon and it was exciting.

And just like that, on September 14, 2016, at 2:45 p.m. Andrew Szabo finally landed in Tijuana, Mexico just ten days after his departure. There were no border guards and nobody asked for his passport. Instead, local journalists and friends welcomed the Arcoiris Explorer with music. In his own words, it was an unforgettable journey. Watch this film now.
