Kitson & Partners, LLC, based in West Palm Beach, rffc* announced Thursday, July 21, that it had executed a contract with the Babcock family to purchase 100 percent of the "t stock of the Babcock Florida Company, which owns the ranch. Kitson & Partners will acquire the Babcock Florida Company in a joint venture with its financial partner, the Morgan Stanley Real Estate Fund. "This is a very special property, a very unique property," said Sydney Kitson, chairman and CEO of Kitson & Partners, during a press conference Thursday. • : .* • •'*•,- "There is nothing left like this. Whatever we do there, we want to make sure it's something the people of Charlotte County and Lee County can be proud of." Lee County Commissioner Bob Janes, who had spear- headed local attempts at the public acquisition of Babcock Ranch for the past several years, said he was disappointed to learn of the Babcock family's decision, especially as the Babcock Preservation Partnership was working hard to put together another offer for the Babcock Florida Company and the ranch land. "I would have preferred another outcome," Janes said. "My interest has always been to preserve as much of the land as possible. I have never supported development." i,*- The Babcock family declined two offers from the State of Florida, one for $400 million and a second for $455 mil- lion, for the ranch business and property.

  • Feminism Discussion Around Death of Hugh Hefner
    Feminism Discussion on Twitter after Death of Hugh Hefner Claudia Alessandra Libbi 4th Year Project Report Cognitive Science School of Informatics University of Edinburgh 2019 3 Abstract Hugh Hefner - owner of the Playboy magazine and mansion - died in September 2017. His death drew a lot of media attention, since his lifestyle, values, legacy and role in society were highly controversial. While some saw him as a feminist and pioneer of female liberation, others believe that he contributed to the objectification of women by selling them as products. As a popular micro-blogging platform, Twitter provides a way to gain direct feedback from society and allows an estimation of the public response to events. This project provides quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data collection streamed from Twitter in the 10 days after his death. After filtering, the set contained about 460K Tweets related to Hugh Hefner. Using sampling and annotation techniques to get stance labels, it was possible to estimate that the majority of tweets, as well as users in the set had negative stances towards Hefner. The analysis also includes pop- ular topics discussed in relation to his lifestyle and death. The focus of this analysis lays on the opinion of feminist accounts and the main topics distinguishing Tweets supporting Hugh Hefner from those who criticize him. 4 Acknowledgements Instead of thanking anyone but myself for manually annotating approximately 3000 tweets in various languages (#oof my mistake), I want to share something more fun: When I was looking for readings and I came across Jon Ronson’s book ”So you’ve been publicly shamed” (which then someone recommended to me again, later) and felt that it was relevant to this research, so I borrowed it from the library and carried it around for any potential ’breaks’ I might want to spend reading for ’fun’.

  • Shift from WGN Recalls Old Comfort Zone for Fans, Station, Cubs
    Shift from WGN recalls old comfort zone for fans, station, Cubs By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, June 9th, 2014 Wowww! Let’s go, batter up, we’re taking the afternoon off….It’s a beautiful day for a ballgame, for a ballgame today. The fans are out to get a ticket or two, from Walla Walla, Washington to Kalamazoo… Everything changes – even the most comfy things that fit to a tee. Familiarity and memories of childhood soundtracks of summer is why we’re all wrung out with the news the Cubs’ radio rights have shift- ed to WBBM-Radio from their 57-season home 60 kc down the dial at WGN. The news wasn’t unexpected. WGN re- opened its Cubs contract – not the other way around – before this season because it was losing its financial shirt, unable to re- coup enough ad revenue to cover produc- tion costs when the baseball ratings had gone in the dumper. A move like this be- came inevitable – just the timing was in question – after Tribune Co. sold the Cubs to the cash-hungry Ricketts family, which is saddled with a heavy debt service man- dated by corporate shark Sam Zell as the structure of the sale. Lou Boudreau (top) and Jack Quinlan in WGN- As long as Tribune Co. -- which acquired Radio's first season with the Cubs radio rights in the embryonic WGN in 1924 -- had um- 1958. brella ownership of the Cubs and WGN TV -radio properties, change was going to be far off in the future.

Fergie Jenkins had to wait until Greg Mad- dux's career ended to see the Cubs uniform No. 31 they both wore retired. Achievers of a half century ago, such as 22-game winner Dick Ellsworth and 96-RBI producer George Altman, haven’t even been invited back to the Cubs Convention. And, sadly, Ron Santo only garnered Hall of Fame status posthumously, the Veterans Committee voters almost shamed to voting him in a year after diabetes complications finally nailed the beloved “This Old Cub.” The latter route unfortunately will need to be traveled again for the great Vince Lloyd to be considered for the Ford C.

Some of these flows (due to various reasons) are exceptionally powerful; people used to regard such places as sacred, blessing, lending power and lucid consciousness, in other words, helping to understand what the Earth tells us through its informative energetic field. This is why temples and shrines were founded there, and later churches were built as well as other centres of spiritual harmony. It is no accident, therefore, that the major temples of Vilnius – the Arch Cathedral and the Gate of Dawn (Aušros) – are situated at the intersections of these flows. Incidentally, they interact through the central axis of Vilnius Old Town (currently, Pilies, Did�iosios and Aušros vartu streets) connecting the Gate of Dawn, the feminine sanctuary of the Mother of God (Goddess), to the masculine Šventaragio Valley (currently, Cathedral Square). Thus, people have been attracted to settle here since long ago, for under the effect of these flows, abilities and wisdom open out in a human being, and they have been glorifying Vilnius since the old times. It is possible to feel the pulsating power of the Earth also here, in the Contemporary Art Centre: some flows rising from the depths stimulate life, and those returning help to understand information hidden in cosmos.
