Torpedo7, one of New Zealand’s leading outdoor adventure retailers, has entered into an agreement with Australia’s Starzcom to start selling their quality inflatable water bouncers.
AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND, November 17, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ — Starzcom, New Zealand’s inflatable sports and fun equipment company, manufactures popular inflatable gym equipment such as air tracks, air spots, air blocks, and water bouncers. They have entered into an agreement with Torpedo7, one of New Zealand’s leading outdoor adventure retailers, to start selling their water bouncers.
Water bouncers are inflatable gym platforms that kids and adults can use for recreation or fun in the water. They have an anti-skid surface and are made from waterproof, commercial grade PVC, which makes them very durable and safe for use. Since they are bouncy and soft, they are perfect for light gym exercises, endless jumping, or lazy lounging.
Water bouncers are similar to trampolines, but different in that they don’t contain any metal parts and are considered safer for use, especially for young gymnasts. They are also easier to assemble, which makes them attractive for shorter vacation trips to a lake.
“We are thrilled Torpedo7’s customers will get to know our water bouncers, because New Zealand is a perfect playground for these trendy new products,” said Verdon Kelliher, the owner of Starzcom. “My own kids love them, which is a big part of why I started this business in the first place.”
Torpedo7 is equally excited about the collaboration, saying
“Torpedo7 believes that New Zealand is the most epic outdoor playground in the world; we live for gearing up our customers to get adventurous outdoors. We’re excited to welcome our newest brand, Starzcom, into our broad range of gear from the best adventure brands in the world. We look forward to seeing our customers out there enjoying the latest inflatable equipment,” said Simon West, CEO at Torpedo7.
The addition of water bouncers to Torpedo7’s sports equipment selection will enhance their product range and enable more people living close to the water to enjoy the benefits of this popular activity.
Starzcom is the manufacturer of quality inflatable gymnastic, tumbling and fun equipment. They started their business in 2019, as a result of their daughters’ fascination with air tracks and other inflatable gym equipment. After constructing, manufacturing and testing their new products, the company started building their customer base in Australia and New Zealand, and then expanded to the USA market.

Being stranded on a deserted tropical island is not the average person's idea of vacation. Presenting imminent danger and life threatening events, its tropical beauty will quickly be replaced by fears of the unknown. Creativity and ingenuity are essential to survival, giving purpose to items often ignored and utilising all available resources. However, even the most creative will not survive without four elements.
Most deserted islands are deserted because they have salt water instead of fresh water. Water makes up more than two-thirds of our body weight and constitutes 95 per cent of the brain, 82 per cent of our blood and 90 per cent of our lungs. It works in a variety of ways to keep our bodies healthy, regulating metabolism, digestion and working to prevent various cancers. In order to survive, water filtration systems must be devised to turn salt water into drinkable water and to catch rain when it storms.
Food can be hard to find on a deserted island. Begin with fish. An excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, all fish work to reduce blood pressure, promote healthy brain function and decrease chances of heart disease; they are also rich in protein, fatty acids, vitamin D, calcium and a variety of minerals. Coconut is also very healthy, rich in protein, vitamins A, B, C and multiple minerals. It also works to destroy intestinal parasites, strengthen muscle tissue and its oil can be used to heal cuts.
Fire is a multipurposed necessity to survive on a deserted tropical island. It provides warmth in a cold environment, heat to cook food and light when the sun goes down. If stranded without matches, a cigarette lighter or firesteel, don't worry. Sparks can be made by rubbing sticks against each other or striking stones together. Don't let the fire go out once started. Its smoke will be a signal of your location and draw attention from surrounding areas.
Select a location to sleep. If you have a tent on hand, go to the most deserted place available to stand out. If you are going to create your own tent, find somewhere that provides protection from wind, the glare of sunlight and prowling animals. Make a temporary hut with flexible materials such as bamboo, bark and leaves. Layer leaves from the bottom up when creating the roof to prevent rain leakage, and steady your tent against a rock or tree if possible for added support.

Last month, we ran a piece below that urged folks to join the NAM team in the annual Race for the Cure. It took place over the weekend, on Saturday, June 4 and the turnout was great.
It’s such a worthy cause, and it’s just so inspirational to be out there with all these runners and walkers, united in a great cause. Thanks to our volunteers: Peggy Ireland, Bill Lacy (trip historian, took the picture above), Dora Fisher, Joan Keys, Shawnree Baker and the Smedile twins, Cassie and Jack. Thanks to Patty Long for helping to get the word out and to our Team Captain — and survivor — Laura Narvaiz. She’s an inspiration to us all.
Thanks to all who signed up — here’s a link to the list of team members.
Above you’ll see some of us in the photo, including the blogger-in-chief (this was right after they applied the paddles and yelled, “Clear!”) and the blogger’s apprentice.
In short, a great day, a great cause. Thanks, all!

DR ANN HUTCHINSON GUEST MBE
It is with broken hearts that we announce our dearest Ann passed away peacefully at home, on Saturday 9th April 2022.
To the very end, Ann was the strong, determined, and dignified woman we all loved, a woman who knew exactly what she wanted. She will be dearly missed by us, her LOD family and the greater dance world. She was a pioneer ahead of her time and a mentor and inspiration to everyone who knew her.
Please understand it was important for the Language of Dance Centers to wait before making any formal, public announcements until all of Ann’s family and close friends were notified.
Among her many great accomplishments, which included writing and publishing over 50 books, her proudest was creating the Language of Dance Approach and founding the Language of Dance Trust with its family of worldwide Centers. She was an extremely compassionate person, wanting to share her extensive dance and notation knowledge with the world through the development of the Language of Dance® and its Movement Alphabet®. Ann strived to make dance and dance literacy accessible and enjoyable for children and adults, from 1 to 103 and beyond!
We take comfort in knowing that she lived to be 103, had a remarkable life and can now be at peace reunited and dancing with her beloved Ivor. We will miss so many things about Ann like her wonderful humour and the way she lit up and commanded any room when she entered.
In the coming days, weeks and months, we will continue to honour our incredible Ann, we will invite the dance community to share your memories and photos and will ensure her legacy lives on forever.
If you would like to help us continue Ann’s wonderful work and legacy, please make a donation to the Language of Dance® Trust here or purchase access to A Film About Ann Hutchinson Guest (2020) here. All proceeds will go towards the Language of Dance® Centre’s education and outreach projects, inspiring people of all ages and abilities to explore and create dance.

Notice all the shoes and sandals outside the store. In Vietnam in 2001, the last time I was there, those would be stolen.
When the film, To Singapore with Love, was banned in Singapore, it was shown to Singaporeans in Johor Bahru, just across the causeway. There are several buses that constantly go back and forth, including a city bus.
The Singaporean immigration control can be a bit of a pain in the ass whether you're coming or leaving. By comparison, the US doesn't care if you walk into Mexico, and the Mexicans barely give a damn. At Juarez, there is no document check and all you have to do to enter Mexico is to pay a quarter, though if the Mexican guard is asleep, you don't even have to do that. Leaving Mexico, you're also docked a quarter.

Even the pretty schoolteacher,Fern, who once seemed so cold to him, finally returns his attentions. Then one fateful night, a small package is delivered to Nubey's doorstep: an infant girl. And the baby is black. Unable to find a relative for the baby anywhere, Jeb feels obligated to care for her. This simple act of charity, however, awakens the troubled undercurrent of racism in this South of the Great Depression. The townsfolk of Nazareth find themselves divided; what are they to make of rocks thrown through windows, graffiti on the church wall, the child's new black nanny, and a craven attack in an apple orchard? And who will win the battle for the heart of this one small town?
The third novel in the Millwood Hollow Series about an unlikely hero and a ragtag trio of orphans in racially segregated 1930s Arkansas.

Description: Here we have some conductive ribbon. Essentially, it's a fabric with 3 conductors woven into the ribbon. It measures roughly 0.2" wide and 0.03" thick. You will get a 1 yard (~3 foot long) section of ribbon. It has very little (negligible) resistance to it. The material is 68% tinsel and 32% polyester.
Since it has 3 discrete conductors in it, you can transmit power, ground, and signal with a single ribbon! It's relatively flexible and durable. As long as your iron isn't too hot, it solders easily and makes for a good addition to any wearable electronics project.
- Length : 1 yard
- Width : 0.2"
- Thickness : 0.03"
- 3 discrete conductors: can transmit power, ground, and signal

Patricia Valadez’s past life of glamour can be found in a tattered black leather portfolio, filled with head shots and other photographs from her days as a performer.
Last summer, Ms. Valadez endured a bedbug infestation in her apartment, which compelled her to throw away all her furniture, clothing and most other belongings. The portfolio survived the purge because she had already given it away to her daughter.
Ms. Valadez has chronic depression. For several years before the bedbugs arrived, she had been spending much of her time at home, going out only to buy food or to visit her daughter and granddaughter. “I’m a recluse,” she said. “Well, not anymore, not after this.”
While Ms. Valadez received emotional support from neighbors and friends, the bedbugs set her back financially and left her emotionally and physically exhausted, she said. It does not show: at 61, Ms. Valadez still has a striking appearance.
Ms. Valadez, born in Mexico City, became a naturalized citizen after arriving in the United States with her mother shortly before her first birthday. (Her estranged father never left Mexico City.)Continue reading the main story
Mother and daughter spent much of their lives in the Upper West Side, the neighborhood where Ms. Valadez still lives and is reluctant to travel far from.
It is easy to imagine her as a cabaret dancer on the New York scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s. She performed in variety shows, in dinner theater and as part of a dance troupe at Carnegie Hall before pursuing a solo career as a jazz singer. She knew people on the club circuit in Miami and lived there in the mid-’80s. She also spent time singing in Mexico and Puerto Rico and traveled farther afield, to Morocco among other places.
“You always look beautiful, you’re a blessing to the world; keep on doing what you’re doing,” a passer-by said as Ms. Valadez and Luna, her pit bull, began their morning walk.
“I’m kind of a legend around here,” she explained.
At 40, Ms. Valadez decided to start over. At Hunter College, she earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology, and she went on to counsel prisoners at Arthur Kill Correctional Facility in Staten Island and Bayview Correctional Facility in Manhattan. She specialized in behavior modification and substance abuse.
“It worked out really well, but I burned out after a year,” she said.
She later became the director of development at Iris House in Manhattan, a center for H.I.V.-affected women and their families, and was involved with nonprofits helping Haitians in New York.
About 2003, she said, the depression she has fought her whole life started to win. She became unable to work; she went out less and less. Today, she is slowly crawling out of that deep hole of mental illness.
“Life has a way of forcing change,” she said. “I’m no longer a recluse; I get dressed and I put makeup on.”
These days, the rhythm of her life is set by Luna and her routine of daily walks. At her public housing complex, she is a member of the tenants’ association and the tenant patrol watch. Ms. Valadez, who lives on $761 a month in Supplemental Security Income and receives $200 a month in food stamps, can afford her $250 rent and cover necessities, but the need to replace many household items at once after the bedbug infestation was far beyond her means.
Her therapist at the Service Program for Older People told her about The New York Times Neediest Cases Fund and helped her submit a proposal to the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies, one of the fund’s seven beneficiary agencies.
The fund provided Ms. Valadez with $1,000 to buy new bedding and clothes.
She is grateful but wistful. “It’s hard to get back to normal when everything is brand-new and all the old stuff is gone,” she said.Continue reading the main story

Tonight we’re in Dahab – famous for it’s laid-back hippy ethic according to the guide books. Not sure what that means but it’s certainly true that the market stall holders are less (make that much less) in your face than other hotspots, that people don’t hassle you for tips and that they all took friendliness to a new level. It’s about an hour up the coast from Sharm.
There was also an excellent selection of eateries along the front, most of which offer Bedouin style dining and genuine Egyptian food as well as the usual tourist fare. Funny Mummy’s is perhaps the most famous example – as seen here, with floor cushions and low tables. Absolutely delightful and you could get a reasonable meal and drinks for three for well under £20. After an excellent day snorkelling at the Blue Hole what more could you need?
PS: If you get to the Blue Hole I can recommend Sinbad’s for equipment hire and food.

Specialisation means concentrating the production on a chosen good or service for which a production unit(individual, firm or a country) is more able as far as resources of production are concerned. In other words, it means producing what we produce best.
Specialisation is the production of a limited range of goods, and services by an individual firm or a country, in co-operation with others so that, together, a complete range of products can be produced.
Specialisation also means that the resources are being distributed among small and competing uses at a particular industry or a nation. For example, Maldives specialises in tourism and fishing products, Sri Lanka and India specialises in the production of tea. This is specialisation at national level. The specialisation of Thoddoo island for watermelons and Dhiggaru island for rihaakuru is an example of regional specialisation.
Potential benefits of specialisation
- Higher output: the total output of goods and services will increase and the quality of goods and services produced will increase. A higher output with lower prices will mean more wants will be satisfied with the given amount of scarce resources.
- Variety: consumers have improved access to a greater variety of goods and services and thus, have better choice both from their economy and production of other countries.
- A bigger market: specialisation and international trade increases the size of the market, offering opportunities for large-scale of production for a larger market
- Competition and lower prices: Increased competition for domestic producers acts as an incentive to minimize costs and to be innovative to remain competitive. Competition will help to keep the prices lower in the economy.
Specialisation at individual level involves giving workers individual jobs so that the worker’s capacity to one task in particular will increase. Example, the specialisation of teachers in different subjects in CHSE. Specialisation by individual is called ‘division of labour’. Division of labour refers to the separation of a work process into a number of simple and separate tasks, with each task being performed by a separate person or a group of people.
It is most often applied to systems of mass-production and is one of the basic organizing principles of the assembly lines. Breaking down the work process into simple, repetitive tasks eliminates the unnecessary workers on an assembly line and limits the handling of different tools and parts of different workers. The resulting reduction in the production time and the ability to replace workers, who do repetitive work with simple tools, results in lower production costs and a less expensive final product.
The concept of division of labour was explained by Adam Smith using the example of a pin making factory. He pointed out that a worker will be able to make 20 pins a day if he were to do all the tasks of pin production himself. However, 10 workers working together specialising in the production of pins will produce 48000 pins a day. Hence increasing the production process into a great extent.
According to Adam Smith, “Wealth of nations”, the economic growth(ie. the increase in the value of goods produced in a country in a year) of a county lies in the concept of division of labour. Under this regime, each worker becomes an expert in one isolated area of production, thus increasing his efficiency. The fact that labourers do not have to switch tasks during the say further saves time and money. Ofcourse, this exactly allowed Victorian factories (UK) to grow throughout the nineteenth century and develop themselves and their country simultaneously.
There are many advantages and disadvantages to specialisation, which became common place during the industrial revolution with the creation of factories and the use of division of labour. The work is divided among many different workers and each worker becomes a cog in a large machine.
Advantages of division of labour
Adam Smith recognized that the increased productivity of labour after division happens due to the following reasons.
- Workers become very skillful and effective int their single allocated task. This is because the workers who specialize in a single task have a lot of time and occasion to practice their allotted job. This can lead to increase speed and accuracy and skill in the narrow range of tasks he perform. Workers in a factory who are responsible for only one part of the process become as skilled as they possibly can in that process without the distraction of learning other skills in the other areas. This increases the productivity (output per worker per hour) as well as quality of work done by a worker. Practice makes perfect!
- Another reason is that, time is saved by eliminating the constant need to move from one operation to the next by the worker. They stay or stand in one place. Any capital machinery that they use is also run constantly.
- Some automation (use of specialised machinery) may arise from the division of the general manufacturing process into small, separate and simple tasks. This in turn may greatly speed up the individual jobs which are automated. This effect is caused because once the jobs are broken down into the simplest possible jobs, it becomes much more, apparent to find methods or invent machinery that will save time or increase quality and accuracy of that work.
- It is also generally considered that, because of the cost of training, workers to perform simple tasks is far less than training each worker to complete the whole production process, division of labour can lower average cost of production
Drawbacks of division of labour
Although division of labour can lead to considerable gains in the productivity and quality of production, division of labour can also have negative effects on the production for the following reasons.
- Dependency on the whole labour force is increased with very high level of division of labour. With increased division of labour, the breakdown of one particular machine in the middle of a production line or an absence of a worker can halt the whole production process. For example, a strike in one part of the factory can halt the whole production process.
- It creates the possibility of increased unemployment among the labour force of the country. Very high degree of division of labour can create demand for very specific, narrow skills. This, in turn, may lead to the general workforce acquiring narrow skills. In the long-term, this may lead to unemployment, a type of structural unemployment where the worker is replaced by a machine, and because the worker’s skill is no longer required, the worker has trouble finding employment, because he is not trained in anything else.
- A major drawback of division of labour is, boredom and alienation, which people may experience when carrying out very simple repetitive tasks. This may have a negative effect on the labour force and labour relations and eventually the productivity of the workers.

Fark, this has been haunting me. We really don't need knives. I showed the webpage to my wife, thinking she'd talk some sense into me, and all I get is, "oooo, I really like the paring knife," and "That utility knife would be great for tomatoes."
What can I say? I'm weak.

We’ve had a bit of change at Case-ing the Catty and we are now doing a blog hop every week starting at 7pm on Friday.
This week we are casing the Wedding section of the Occasions catalogue (pages 42-44) of the AU/NZ catalogue.
I don’t have the wedding stamps as I’m in that period of no weddings (but lots of 40th’s!!). I do however have the gorgeous Something Borrowed DSP and Something Lacy stamp. Did you know that the DSP has 4 sheets of each pattern so if you are making invites etc, you have enough of one design to go around.
So I decided to case the card on page 42.
Isn’t it pretty! I love the Something Lacy stamp!! Especially when it is stamped on vellum.
Here is my version.
I used the sentiment from the Big News stamp set and embossed it in silver. I coloured the flowers using the Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Marker. I used the White Jute Ribbon, Sahara Sand Lace Trim and the Silver Baker’s twine like the original which adds lots of dimension.
I decided to make another couple of cards to showcase the gorgeous Something Borrowed DSP.
I used the Perfect Pennants stamp set for the sentiment and cut it out with the Chalk Talk framelits. I also used Lost Lagoon ribbon.
On this one, I used the Feels Good stamp set and the Deco framelits. I trimmed the top of the shape with my paper snips.
I hope you have enjoyed my projects. I’d love you to leave a comment below.
Please continue on hopping through the Design Team blogs. Next on the list is Alison Barclay.

Today as I was driving in my car, I heard a really interesting story on NPR .(Which, by the way, I highly recommend listening to. Instead of listening to junk on the radio, NPR is a great way to keep tabs on what’s going on in the world, as well as exposing yourself to stories and people you wouldn’t ordinarily hear about) As I pulled out of the parking lot and flipped on the radio, I heard a British news correspondent talking about a trip he made to China. I had missed the first part of the story in which he explained why he was in China, but throughout the course of his travels there he happened upon a Chinese house church. Broadcasting from this church, the reporter explained that as a direct result of Communism collapsing, a system of government that stifled religious expression, there has now been an explosion of religion in China, particularly Christianity. He interviewed one woman who recounted that when she first became a Christian, she’d had to hide her faith for fear of persecution, but now she and other believers can worship freely. This house church was a clear sign of this spiritual revival.
As the reporter continued his broadcast, he described the seen at the church, and how everyone was sitting there waiting for an itinerate preacher to come in and give the sermon. However, after a lot of time had passed and the preacher still hadn’t arrived, the congregation realized that the preacher wasn’t coming. Soon they began scrambling for an alternative. Then, in an interesting turn of events, the congregation debated over who would be a suitable replacement, and they decided that the best person to deliver the sermon was the news reporter! So, they asked him if he would stand up and preach.
What was funny about this story was that this news reporter, who is ordinarily very professional sounding, always giving off the impression that he has everything under control, became very nervous and uncomfortable. He explained to us listeners that the Chinese assume all Westerners are Christian, so this congregation never thought to ask him if he was Christian, let alone if he believed in God. The reporter tried to tell them that he wasn’t used to giving sermons, but it soon became apparent that they wouldn’t let him leave until he did. So, he picked up his Bible, stood before them for an awkward period of minutes, and preached.
Unfortunately they didn’t air the sermon that he gave, because it would have been fascinating, if not hilarious, to hear. The reporter said that the whole incident was awkward for everyone involved, and I imagine that it probably was to some degree. But, since he had his own Bible with him, I’m hoping that he was a believer. And if he was, I’m sure the Holy Spirit moved through him in spite of his lack of experience.
Now I want you to stop and think about this story for a second. The church that was featured in this story was *so* desperate to hear the Gospel preached that they forced a random Western reporter to give a sermon to them. At first I wondered why they didn’t simply ask one of their own members to teach, but it is very likely that they were all illiterate, and since he could read, that was good enough.
As I sat there in my car listening, I was struck by the absurdity of the situation. Here in the States, I have a seminary degree, yet I struggle to find a job in a church. I was just looking at job descriptions for college pastors yesterday, and I wasn’t even qualified enough for a lot of them. It didn’t matter that I was passionate about the Gospel–it only mattered that I didn’t have multiple video recordings of me speaking in front of 300+ people. Without those qualifications, I am not welcome as a college minister at many churches here in the U.S.. Yet this reporter, who didn’t even want to preach, and had no experiencing doing so, was pushed up in front of that tiny congregation and given the chance to preach. What a backwards world we live in!
To some extent, the difference between the American Church and the Chinese Church reminds me of the disparity between food supplies in the world. Here in the States, we have so much food that we waste it, while there are people in other parts of the world who are starving to death. In the same way, we have so many Christians and so many churches here in the U.S., while churches in other parts of the world can’t even find one pastor to preach. But just because those starving people are far away and we can’t give them the food on our dinner plates tonight, does not mean we should go on wasting our food. Nor does the distance of our Christian brothers and sisters mean we can go on wasting our gifts. The need and the urgency is the same, and that’s what this NPR story reminded me of today. Just because the need doesn’t seem to be immediate, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. If there are churches in this world who are so desperate to hear the Gospel preached that they’ll put almost anyone in front of them, regardless of qualifications, then there is much work to be done on our part. As the reporter said, Christianity is exploding in China, as well as countries all over the world, so the harvest is indeed plentiful. The problem is that the laborers are few.
For this reason, we cannot be content to simply let “other Christians” spread the Gospel. The statement “the laborers are few,” which comes directly from the lips of Christ, is a personal indictment. It’s not that there aren’t enough Christians–it’s that the Christians aren’t doing enough. The laborers are few because *we* are not laboring. Too often we are using our time for our own selfish ends, while our brothers and sisters in China are praying for someone to come and teach them. This is not acceptable. It is every single Christian’s responsibility to be using his or her gifts for the sake of the Kingdom, and if you cannot say that you are doing so, then you’ve got to make some changes. For some of us, that means moving to China. For others of us, it means being more intentional about witnessing to co-workers. But either way, we cannot ignore our brothers and sisters in that Chinese house church, and we cannot ignore their thirst for the Gospel, a thirst that we could easily help with. We have a responsibility to them, and to the world, so we can never let ourselves forget that the laborers are only few if *we* are the ones who are not laboring.

The Tucson Real Estate Market! – KarlBuysHouses
Tucson Real Estate Market!
Chances are, if you have lived in Tucson for a few years, you are seeing massive changes in the Tucson Real Estate Market! Drive anywhere in Tucson AZ and you are likely to see homes for sale, sold signs, new construction, and more! It seems as though our entire city is abuzz with activity!
As a Realtor who Invests in Tucson, I’m frequently asked by the clients I represent as well as those whose homes I’ve purchased about the state of the Tucson Real Estate Market. While it is true, that each subdivision within Tucson has it’s own market specifics, there are some generalities that can be made.
Typically, when people who are looking to sell their home have questions, they typically want to know a few things..
- How many homes are currently for sale in Tucson?
- What’s the median sale price for a home in Tucson?
- How long does it take to sell a home in Tucson?
- How much do people “Negotiate” on price?
- What is the median “price per square foot” for a home in Tucson?
To help answer these common questions about the Tucson Real Estate market, I have created this helpful post for you! Each of the charts below are updated daily from the Multiple Listing service on a rolling three month interval.
The data itself is reflective of all types of properties within the Tucson MLS. All homes, condominiums, price ranges, areas and types are represented. Obviously, as I have mentioned, individual areas, types of properties and price ranges can, and often do change from the cross section of major properties. However, for the purpose of tracking the Tucson real estate market, it is helpful to look at the market from a “birds-eye” perspective.
For perspective, I have included data for the past 5 years. As you can see, the Tucson MLS and the Tucson real estate market has experienced massive changes. As such, the opportunities to sell an unwanted home are better than ever!
How Many Homes Are For Sale In Tucson?
Anytime you are trying to determine the value of anything in life.. you must first determine how many other items are currently for sale. For our example.. it is important to know just how many homes are currently for sale in Tucson. Therefore, if we see that there are comparatively fewer homes on the market, then that shows that our area is in high demand, we know prices will most likely be higher as well.
From the chart to the right, we can see that at the time of this writing, the amount of homes currently for sale in Tucson is very low… (under 3200 homes for sale.) Compared to 2014 (shortly after the real estate recession) you can see there are half the homes available for sale as there was then.
Thus, we know that in the absence of significant new home construction, home demand is high in Tucson regardless of type, size, or price range. When compared to Tucson’s real estate market of 2018, it is even hotter.
Tucson’s Median Home Price
When it comes to the median sale price, over the last five years, Tucson’s real estate market has fully recovered. Updated daily, this chart shows the median home price of properties here in Tucson AZ. As you can see, homes in Tucson have steadily risen in price every year for the past 5 years.
What impact does this have for Tucson? Only time will tell. Without significant real estate development or rehabilitation, the prices are only going to continue to rise.
What is causing this rise in the median sale price? My belief is there are several factors that are affecting this.
One issue is an influx from California residents who are fleeing taxation in California, Oregon or Washington State. I have met several homebuyers who have come from those states who have sold their homes with the intent of purchasing homes here simply because of the economic factors and lower taxes that Arizona provides.
Another reason is the increase of the technology sector in the area. Amazon, Davis Monthan AFB, and Raytheon are all large contributors to our area. Relocating employees to and from the Tucson metropolitan area all increase the local real estate values.
How Long Does It Take To Sell A Home In Tucson?
One of the biggest questions I get asked as a Realtor/Investor in the Tucson area, is “How long does it take to sell a home in Tucson Arizona?” At the time of this writing, the Tucson real estate market is extraordinarily fast. The chart below shows just how quickly the Tucson market has sped up over the past 5 years.
As you can see, five years ago, the market was much faster. The real estate market in Tucson took on average 55 days to receive a contract. Since that time, in the real estate market in Tucson in 2109, it is currently taking 16 days.
This is critically important for a family who has a home to sell in the Tucson area. On the one hand, if you put your home on the market, you are concerned it might sell too fast. If you need a secure, safe transaction and a predictable sales date.. call me at (520) 403-6227 and let’s talk!
How Much “Negotiation” on Sale Price is there?
Another common question that I get asked is about the amount of “wiggle room” or “negotiation room” there really is on a real estate sale. While many people believe that negotiations between a Buyer and a Seller tend to wildly swing in the tens of thousands of dollars.. the truth is actually far more sublime.
As you can see from the 5 year chart below, you can clearly see that even 5 years ago, when there were twice as many homes for sale, and the market was considered fairly stable.. there was little negotiation room. Negotiation is not in terms of tens of thousands of dollars. In fact, sellers who offer their homes for sale on the Tucson MLS get on average 99.25% of the asking price.
This clearly defies the common logic that there are massive amounts of negotiation that are done in the negotiation of a typical real estate deal. One of the biggest problems that people have when trying to sell their home to a Realtor/Investor like myself is overpricing their home thinking that they are leaving room for negotiation. All this does is indicate that you aren’t serious about selling your home. If you are serious about selling your home.. price it realistically to get the next viable buyer!
Tucson Median Sale Price Per Square Foot
One of the final questions that I get asked frequently is about the issue of price per square foot. Unfortunately, price per square foot isn’t a good method to determine a good sale price. Many people want to know what the average or median price per square foot for their zip code or neighborhood is, however that isn’t always a good measurement for an accurate value.
One value of keeping an eye on the median price per square foot of homes for sale and sold in Tucson Arizona is to be able to quantify rising (or falling) home values. As you can see, the values in Tucson per square foot has risen dramatically in the past 5 years. To me, this demonstrates that as a whole, the Tucson real estate market is healthy, thriving, and best of all, growing!
Do You Have An Unwanted Tucson Home?
If you are researching the values in Tucson because you have an unwanted home in the Tucson area, then hopefully this has helped you! If you are looking to sell your unwanted home that you have through an inheritance, estate sale, divorce, an unwanted rental home, or any other situation, feel free to call or text me at (520) 403-6227 and I will get you a fast, fair offer!

Another Winter Forecast Ingredient
Don’t forget our 2012-13 Winter Forecast is slated for Tuesday Night during FOX 4 News @ 9PM.
We do our forecasts a little different compared to other local TV Winter Forecasts. We look at this more as a team effort. We all make our predictions/guesses individually then we average ALL of them together to form our FINAL Winter Forecast. That snowfall forecast and lowest temperature is what we run with.
Last year, as I’ve talked about numerous times before, was just awful. I think I predicted something like 27″ of snow or close to it. We all went on the higher side and well we had a record low total of 3.9″! Needless to say not good. In our defense, as I talked about before, we were asked to do the forecast a day or two after Halloween. Way too early, and by late November we could already start to see how that original forecast was going to be too high. We then reissued our forecast on the 1st day of winter and brought those numbers way down. I think to about 15-16″. Still though way too high but at least we got the trends a bit better.
Not sure if that will be needed again or not this forecast year but if so, I’m sure we’ll look at that potential in about a month or so.
I’ve talked about the NAO aspect of the forecast, and last week I talked about the US/Canadian snowcover aspect of the forecast. In that vein I want to expand the snowcover discussion and cover more geography by taking a look at the Eurasian snowcover situation. There is some correlation between increased fall season snowcover in that part of the world and a tendency for more cold air to be a factor in our part of the world. It’s not a 100% correlation, but it’s something that, I think, at least bears some watching. So let’s look at the month that we finished and compare to last year and then the year before (record little snow [2011-12] and well above average snow [2009-10]) This data is from Rutgers University.
First lets look at October 2012. It’s important to look for the BLUISH shadings as that indicates above average amounts of snowcover.
Now let’s go back to last October (2011) leading up to our lowest snow total winter and also one of the warmest.
Notice on the image above all the brownish colors…indicating BELOW average amounts of snowfall. Now let’s go back to October 2010…again the blues make an better appearance (increased cold/snow for us).
OK just for the heck of it, we know that 2009-2010 was a crazy snow season (44″+). Here is a look at the October 2009 snow trends for that part of the world.
Again a LOT of blue colors.
Just so I’m clear here, all this extra snow per say, doesn’t mean it’s going to be snowy here, what it does indicate though is the better potential for building cold airmasses up towards N Canada and across the Pole area. This bitterly cold air usually finds a way down towards the USA in some form. When certain other factors are involved, i.e. more atmospheric blocking etc, that cold air can be delivered towards our area. So in a nutshel, IF there is more snowcover up there, it makes sense that we have the potential to be colder down here as opposed to a lack of snowcover up there. Hopefully that makes sense.
So what can we take from the current situation? Well there was definitely more snow up there and as a result, more snowcover. Now that the nights are so long and the daylight is so little towards the Northern Territories, that snow melts less and less and the coverage of the snow increases more and more. The airmasses have a better chance of getting growing colder.
So let’s wrap this up…I talked last week about how the atmosphere has tended to be more “blocked up” this fall. The NAO index has been mostly negative since July. This index plays a bigger role in Winter forecasting than in Summer forecasting. Last week I also talked about how the snowcover was higher for the US/Canadian areas compared to last season. Today I talked about how the Eurasian snowcover is also above average compared to last season. That’s now 3 things that I look towards to create my winter guess. The 4th item is something called the Arctic Oscillation or AO for short. This is another parameter that in conjunction with the NAO can lead to more turbulent and cold weather for parts of the USA. I will blog about that tomorrow. Also there is another wildcard to my winter forecast thoughts and that would be the ongoing drought. When you are in a drought it can be VERY difficult to break as we’ve seen. We’ve had two good rainmakers in the last 2+ months and very little in between. The summer and most of last Spring was miserable for precipitation and with dry weather expected till at least near the end of the month, the drought will persist for awhile at least. Yesterday the GFS gave us 1/10th over the course of 16 total days. The early AM run this morning gives us about 4/10″ in the same time span. So again no real drought relief and my concern in forecasting a lot of snow/precipitation this winter is the ongoing drought.
So we’ve got not a total of 5 ingredients into my winter forecast thoughts (so far). Over the last few years however most of these ingredients have led me into making some really bad guesses as far as the upcoming winter snowfall amounts. That’s why, in my opinion there is little to no skill in these forecasts. I think if another ingredient is added into the mixture the skill levels would be better and that would be the potential for a tremendous strong La Nina (cooling) or El Nino (warming of the equatorial Pacific waters). There are strong correlations in what those aspects bring to the winter season but alas, this season will be a “La Nada” winter where there is not really an influence from the Equatorial Pacific water anomalies.
More on these thoughts in tomorrow’s weather blog.

Kendra & Christopher were beautifully wed at Grace Episcopal Church in Asheville, North Carolina. Living five minutes from the church, it was something I passed by almost daily and had always hoped of photographing. The stonework is just stunning! And not to mention that red door.
Aaand I also obviously need to recognize Jessica Cochran for being the most amazing second shooter. Thank you immensely! I couldn’t have done it without you.
Post-ceremony, we ventured out to Claxton Farm in Weaverville for the reception. Despite the on and off rain showers, the sunshine still managed to peek itself through in opportune moments, and even left us with a double rainbow!
Oh, and llamas. There was that.
Needless to say, he got plenty of attention and made many friends.
And s’mores! The perfect addition to a November wedding.
Congratulations Kendra & Christopher! To a lifetime of happiness <3

Important! Tide times are for the nearest measurement point and may not be accurate for this location. You should not rely on these times for anything other than a broad indication of when the tide will be at its highest or lowest.
In particular, these tide times are not suitable for navigational use. Accurate tide forecasts require complex calculations and detailed local information. If you intend to engage in any activity for which tidal information is important for safety reasons (including sailing, powerboating, diving, and surfing) then you should obtain professional data.

Safe Medicine Disposal
Medicines treat many diseases and health problems. However, when medicines expire or are no longer needed, it's important to get rid of them in the correct way. This is especially true when children and pets are in the home.
Here are some ways that poison centers and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommend that you dispose of expired or unneeded medicines. If you have questions, call the free national Poison Help number at 1-800-222-1222.
Safe disposal of medications
- Medication disposal drop box, collection site or take-back event: These options are the best way to get rid of expired, unwanted or unused medicines. To find a disposal location near you, call 1-800-222-1222 or visit dea.gov or rxdrugdropbox.org.
- Drug disposal pouch: There are now products available that deactivate drugs in an environmentally friendly way while reducing the opportunity for abuse or misuse. These include drug deactivating pouches, pods and other products.
- Household trashcan: To safely throw away unnecessary or expired medications, take pills out of their original containers and mix them with an undesirable substance such as kitty litter or coffee grounds. Put this mixture into a sealed bag and toss into the garbage.
- Flushing: Some medicines should be safely disposed of by flushing down the sink or toilet. These drugs usually have instructions on the package that say they should be flushed as soon as they are no longer needed, or when they cannot be disposed of through a medication disposal drop box, collection site or take-back event.
See the complete list of medications that should be flushed.
If you have questions about your medicine, have made a medication mistake or need more information on how to safely dispose of your medications, call the Poison Helpline at 1-800-222-1222.
24-hour Poison Control Center hotline: 1-800-222-1222
Prevent accidental poisonings
- Safe use: Only take medications prescribed to you. Read and follow all dosing instructions precisely.
- Safe storage: Keep all medications out of sight and in a safe and secure place.
- Safe disposal: If you have unused or expired medications, be sure to remove them from your home.

If your travelling troupe is anything like ours, there are many dynamics at play which make every trip a ticking time bomb of pouting, frumping, huffing and, occasionally, squeals of joy. It can be challenging (as in, Mission Impossible) to keep everyone happy, from the Café Couture creature to the History Major to the Shop-a-holic, the Nature Child, the No Nature Child, and the Must.Eat.Now Zombies. You’ve traveled with them. Maybe you are them.
In truth, we probably all bear more than a passing resemblance to all of these personalities at various times. You can satisfy them all (at least, for a while) with a visit to Lincoln Road and Española Way, two iconic pedestrian-only avenues filled with shops, restaurants, cafes and attractions. There is, quite literally, something for everyone. Want to absorb Miami Beach’s coffee culture and indulge in some crazy people watching? Pick from a pair of Starbucks or the Nespresso Boutique. Need some peaceful time in a relaxing outdoor setting? Pull up a bench amongst the gardens and sculptures. Hungry? You, my friend, have hit the mother lode of restaurants.
For the uninitiated, Lincoln Road is an eight-block promenade running east-west across Miami Beach. About two blocks south, you’ll find Española Way, a smaller pedestrian street with fewer shops, but close enough to include in the Zone of Shopperly Delights.
It’s a good area to let family members have some time to explore what they enjoy. We felt safe enough to let our teen girls roam free, setting a time and place for everyone to meet up. Both streets are chock-full of character, and sometimes characters, though not usually as raucous as nearby Ocean Drive. The area is fine – in fact, fun – for families, and the walking is level and easy. Unless you’re the designated pack horse, in which case you’ll want to park close; there’s a lot of “shopportunity”.
There is more than shopping and eating though (just bear with me for a few paragraphs), so let’s explore!
The hardest part of picking a hotel in Miami Beach is deciding where to stay. Beachfront? South Beach? North Beach? How about right in the middle of Miami Beach’s main attractions? That would be Española way, which is almost literally in the center of the South Beach neighborhood. Staying here puts you just a few blocks from the Convention Center, the clubs on Ocean Drive, the marina, and the beach, a block from Lincoln Road, and just steps away from two dozen shops and restaurants.
In many ways, Española Way reminds us of Europe (that’s intentional; we’ll explain later), with small hotels above shops and restaurants lining a lively street filled with people. There are several hotels in the area, but the prime location is occupied by the venerable Clay Hotel. Being right above busy streets, the hotel smartly installed custom sound-resistant windows and balcony doors to help isolate rooms from the scene below. Adding to the oasis of serenity is a charming fountain courtyard, and a collection of one-of-a-kind works by Cuban landscape artist Pedro Amador, painted while he was in residency at the hotel. The Clay is at once quaint and elegant.
Nearby is the European-inspired Casa Victoria Orchid, with a sort of Mediterranean Spanish Modern décor. The boutique 22-room hotel was remodeled fairly recently, and gets great reviews for service and location. We spotted balconies overlooking Plaza de España (aka: the corner of Española Way and Drexel Avenue) from several rooms. We can’t think of a much better view.
Kitschy souvenirs can be found in shops all over Miami Beach, but let’s say you need a white linen outfit to brave the tropical temperatures in style. Perhaps you hit the clubs and they hit back, necessitating a leisurely soak and a bath bomb. Maybe you misplaced your (a) curling iron, (b) cigar cutter, or (c) killer Oakley shades – or maybe all of the above – and need a replacement, stat. Lucky you, you’re on Lincoln Road!
This is retail therapy for the sun bronzed and shop obsessed of Miami Beach, which makes it something of a tourist destination as well. You’ll find a wide variety of specialty boutiques and popular name-brand retailers including Lush, Lululemon, H&M, Aesop, and Apple. There are even stores for hip dad types, where one could rock the John Varvatos jeans, soak in the aroma of Davidoff Cigars, and see how a Tesla suits you. Next thing you know, dad will be starring in a Miami Vice redux!
Meanwhile, over on Espanola Way are more boutiques, mostly offering clothes and accessories. One of our favorites was Blanc du Nil, where we could always find cool and contemporary fashions almost exclusively in white cotton. (As of this summer, the Blanc du Nil store is transitioning to White Cotton Club, parting ways with the Blanc du Nil brand.)
It’s impossible to talk about Miami Beach without talking about food. That’s especially true when planning a trip to Lincoln Road and Española Way. There are many great restaurants here, and you won’t go wrong in any of them. But there’s also an opportunity to enjoy a great meal, so you might want to survey the landscape before settling down at one (or two, or three) places.
Though quaint, Española Way is all about the restaurants. There is delicious variety in the few short blocks: Cuban, Mexican, Italian, French, Spanish…even pizza and sushi. You’ll find even more variety on Lincoln Road, adding Mediterranean, Asian, and South American to the list, plus American staples like steakhouses and burgers (Shake Shack, no less).
Among the highlights are Tapas Y Tintos on Española Way, repeatedly named the best Spanish restaurant on South Beach, with nightly music, drink and dancing themes. But the favorites among our crew are Moshi Moshi Sushi and Havana 1957 on Española, and Juvia and YUCA (Young Urban Cuban American) on Lincoln Road. Even if you don’t eat at Juvia, you’ll want to venture to the rooftop bar to take in one of the best views in the city. (Reservations would be a good idea. You can make them with the Open Table app and earn points for your dinner, too – cha-ching!)
We also have a couple favorite after-dinner destinations: on Española Way we can’t pass up Milani Gelateria, and Lincoln Square is home to Laudree, the Parisian bake shop with Macarons to die for.
We are equal opportunity lovers of the brewing arts, be it coffee or beer. And we love that there are many options for both on Lincoln Road. For your java fix, there are two Starbucks, and a wonderful Nespresso Boutique. (Worth noting that Nespresso is just across the street from Laudree. Coffee and Macarons? Yes please!) And for beers, nobody does much better than Germans and Irishmen. In almost dreamlike perfection, you’ll find Finnegan’s Road and the Hoffbrau Beer Hall right across the street from each other at Michigan Avenue. Crazy!
I did promise more than shopping and eating. On Lincoln Road, that includes the iconic Miami Beach Art Deco architecture, in residence at two historic theatres, and a few other buildings, new and old. Scattered along the street are several beautiful fountains and sculptures in the Art Deco style, the best of which is in front of the Colony Theatre.
Lincoln Road was a central point in Miami Beach long before Art Deco and shopping sprung to life. As early as 1912, it was the city’s main thoroughfare after developer Carl Fisher cleared the mangroves along a strip from Biscayne Bay to the Atlantic shore. The city’s first church, the beautiful Miami Beach Community Church was built here in 1921, and it welcomes parishioners and visitors to this day.
Lincoln Road as we know it today was born in the 1950s when architect Morris Lapidus, known for pioneering the Miami Modern aesthetic at the Fountainebleau and Eden Roc resorts, was commissioned to renovate Lincoln Road. He turned it into one of the country’s first pedestrian malls complete with fountains and gardens in his iconic MiMo style.
Likewise, Española Way is one of the city’s most historic commercial streets. Architect N.B.T. Roney developed the street in 1925 as a “Latin Greenwich Village” modeled after historic Mediterranean villages of Spain and France. The street was lined with art galleries, shops selling fashionable merchandise, and restaurants featuring international cuisines. In the late 1920s and ‘30s, area was home to several nightclubs, including The Port of Missing Men, said to be a favorite of Al Capone. After World War II, bandleader Desi Arnaz gave those nightclubs a Latin sound, and the historic street became the Rumba Capital of the World! While the buildings have been continually updated, Española Way is still a destination for international cuisine, Latin dancing, and fashionable shops.
For 100 years, the iconic Lincoln Road and Española Way area has been drawing locals and tourists alike. Have you explored these Miami Beach destinations? We’d love to hear about the shops and spots you like. Share your thoughts and favorites with a comment.

Course: Bahá’í Perspectives on Agriculture and Food (2021)
Faculty Mentor: Paul Hanley
Submitted by: Sandra J. Howe
Thanks for the opportunity to participate in an excellent course! I learned lots and reviewed many quotations and ideas related to Bahá’í Perspectives on Agriculture and Food. We studied as a small group from Saugeen Shores, Ontario, Canada, with three Bahá’ís and three friends of the Faith. We met weekly to discuss the material which brought us closer as friends. Together we undertook the building of a 20 x 36 foot poly tunnel for veggie growing. As we learn to grow effectively, we will share with friends, neighbors, and local food banks. This continues to be a learning and advancing project. Many thanks!

Blogger’s Note: Haven’t blogged so much lately. Crazy busy, plus lots of little things to say, but rarely a post-worth. So how ’bout a collection of random bits from the season so far?
It’s been cold this winter. At least, it’s felt that way to me. I can just about tell the temperature by the feel of my whiskersicles. Temps fall into the single digits; I get ice forming in my goatee. Below zero, and they form in my mustache, too — provided my nostrils don’t stick shut first, or the wind doesn’t require me to suck wind in gulping gasps between gusts or cover my face.
One morning last year, it was cold enough that my facial hair simply went white, less condensed and frozen water droplets than flat-out frost. My reflection in the window of Morrill Hall’s side door gave me a glimpse of a white-bearded future. Nothing that bad yet this year.
* * * * *
Boomer’s doing better this winter than last, but it’s hard. Some nights he wants to sleep in his kennel; some nights, in the garage. We bought the old boy a dog bed for the garage, but he lays on the hard floor instead, using the bed like a pillow for his chin.
His preference for the kennel versus the garage doesn’t correspond to temperature. The coldest night in recent weeks, he returned to his kennel in the evening, and slept like a stone all night and well into the morning. When he hadn’t emerged from his house by mid-morning, I went out to check, bracing for the worst. I could see him curled in his house. The thick hair on his back was coated in frost, and I couldn’t see him breathing … no, wait! One long sighing breath, in and out, then nothing for five seconds or so, then another.
A couple hours later, he was awake, barking at the house for a biscuit and some warm water.
* * * * *
In the run-up to Christmas (and the Winter Break on campus), it was lovely to leave Morrill at the end of the day, and see snow swirling about the columns of Northrop Auditorium. My path to the parking ramp took me across a plaza adorned with hardy little maples strung with white lights, and the nights were so silent.
A block further, you’d begin to hear what sounded like music. Another half block, and the music was clearly holiday in nature. Then it came into view: the Beta house, I think, strung with lights that flashed on and off like keys of a great and colorful piano, in time with the rhythm and melody of familiar holiday instrumentals, which were being piped to all and sundry through loudspeakers.
My first reaction was mild annoyance; I’d been enjoying the silence. But the spectacle was well done, and now, with the students gone and the lights hanging dim; the house, silent, it doesn’t seem so bad at all.
* * * * *
The post-holiday clean-up has been slow, in part because the kids seem to be getting sick in circles. Maybe this weekend we can regain our home. At least the lights are mostly down, and the sweets, mostly gone. I still feel overstuffed somehow.
* * * * *
The moon seems so far off in winter, a bare bulb in a high, lonely window. I remember an old farmhouse set back from the road near where I grew up. The brush encroached on the two-track driveway, and the grass grew high around the foundation. I never saw a vehicle, a puff of smoke from the chimney, or a living soul there in all my years … but once I saw a light in the upstairs window. It seemed so cold that evening, too.
* * * * *
Blogger’s Addendum: When I posted this initially, that last two lines read, “I never saw a vehicle, a puff of smoke from the chimney, or a living soul there in all my years … but once I was a light in the upstairs window. It seemed so cold that evening, too.” That was a typo — I meant “saw” — but metaphorically, it worked that way, too.

Nonetheless, New York still viewed Washington as a dowdy country cousin, not quite up to the Big Money show.
Carla's choice of a mouse-gray suede Dior coat with pussycat bow was dismissed as dowdy.
She long ago shed the extra pounds, dowdy hair, and frumpy clothes.
1580s (n.), "an aukward, ill-dressed, inelegant woman" [Johnson]; 1670s (adj.), perhaps a diminutive of doue "poorly dressed woman" (early 14c.), of uncertain origin. The modern use of dowd (n.) is most likely a back-formation from dowdy. "If plaine or homely, wee saie she is a doudie or a slut" [Barnabe Riche, "Riche his Farewell to Militarie profession," 1581].
You don't have to be dowdy to be a Christian. [Tammy Faye Bakker, "Newsweek," June 8, 1987]Related: Dowdily; dowdiness.

The 2017 European Cancer Congress will for the first time feature critical review sessions. President of ECCO and congress chair, Professor Peter Naredi, explains how they will run and what they offer to attendees.
“Most conferences follow a typical pattern – new research is presented then there is the opportunity for questions and discussion,” Professor Naredi says.
“ECCO2017 will be different. At the end of each day, we will hold critical review sessions, evaluating the new research. These will still be discussions, but we think they will offer a broader and more incisive debate.”
These critical review sessions will be run by experts from each organ track, who will use their knowledge of the field to convene a three-person panel, which might include a surgeon, a medical oncologist and a nurse, for example.
Each expert will be invited to select just a few of the most exciting studies that have been presented that day. They will give their opinion on the research and this will be followed with a broader discussion including stakeholders, such as patients and palliative care experts.
Professor Naredi explains: “The congress is based on multidisiplinarity and that means we need broad discussions.
“Studies being presented at ECCO2017 will be brand new, or will only have been presented at monodisciplinary meetings. That means they have not yet been critically examined by all the stakeholders in cancer care.
“For example, at another conference we might hear the results of a randomised trial in breast cancer or melanoma, then talk about the advantages and disadvantages. But at ECCO2017 we will be asking if the research is relevant and looking at the global picture.
“It’s the true multidisciplinary approach to treating patients - not only considering one perspective but all the different sides. For instance, not just what new drug or technique we should use, but how we should involve patients.”
In addition, a speaker will give a global perspective on the new treatments, addressing their value in clinical practice in a multidisciplinary context. This speaker will cover recent developments in the entire field, as well as the specific examples presented by the speakers from the congress.
At the end of each discussion, each study will be put to the ballot with attendees able to vote on the merits of the research. Attendees will be asked if they think the work is relevant and important in cancer care, and if they believe it is worth using in their daily work. Ultimately, they will be answering the question: is this practice-changing?
Professor Naredi continues: “These are conversations that health care professions are having locally within their centres and professional networks, but not necessarily with all the different experts in the same room.”
He explains that real-world data, health economics and the delivery of care are also vital elements of the congress. “These sessions are an opportunity to consider how to spend our budgets. They will help us to understand how other stakeholders think budgets should be spent – whether it should be on more drugs or on more surgery - and to consider what offers the best value.”
Finally, Professor Naredi believes the critical review sessions will create a different experience for congress attendees: “You’ll be updated with different views on the topics, you will be able to listen actively and reflect on what you’ve heard, and perhaps be forced to re-think your ideas.”
Browse the updated searchable programme with all the late-breaking abstract titles, proffered papers and latest information about the critical review and plenary sessions.

There’s a reason this blog is called “06880,” not “06883”: Although Weston borders Westport, I really don’t know much anything about what goes on there.
Okay, I lied. I know they have 2-acre zoning, so no one in Weston ever actually sees his or her neighbor.
I know Cobb’s Mill Inn is the place for weddings, bar mitzvahs and retirement dinners. And I mean that literally — it’s the only place in town.
And I know that — just like their cousins/spouses down in Weston, Ala. and Weston, Miss. — the folks up in Weston, Conn. don’t cotton to crazy ideas.
Ever since that Charles Darwin kook came to town, Weston's had nothin' but trouble.
In case you missed this story, a Weston teacher says he was told not to teach the theory of evolution. The teacher — Mark Tangarone — ran Weston Elementary School’s talented and gifted program for 17 years. But he’s leaving — because, he says, administrators refused to let him teach this new-fangled idea about man being descended from — you’ll laugh! — monkeys.
In 2008, then-Weston Intermediate School principal Mark Ribbens emailed FedExed telegraphed Tangarone that evolution “is a philosophically unsatisfactory explanation for the diversity of life.”
Take that, chimps!
The principal added: “I know personally that I would be challenged in leading a 10-year-old through this sort of discussion while maintaining the appropriate sensitivity to a family’s religious beliefs or traditions.”
Yes sirree. There’s no telling what kind of questions young Dylan or Ashleigh might ask Mom or Dad next, once they’ve had their 10-year-old brains unlocked.
They might even want to watch the Discovery Channel, provided Cablevision has wired Weston yet.
Smote down like a sinner in the hand of an angry God, Tangarone nevertheless came back for more. He hoped to teach about Darwin during the current 1909-1910 2009-2010 school year.
But, Tangarone said, assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction Thomas Scarice told him: “Drop it.”
An ancestor of Westporters, but not Westonites.
Ribbens called faxed sent a message by Pony Express telling Tangarone: “Evolution is a topic that is not age appropriate, is not part of our existing curriculum, is not part of the state frameworks at this point in a student’s education, nor a topic in which you have particular expertise.”
Take that, Mark Tangarone!
Sweeping aside the fact that — according to the Fairfield Weekly — evolution is part of the 3rd through 5th grade science frameworks, as well as part of the Weston Public Schools’ curriculum (starting as early as kindergarten), “06880” vows solemnly to stand with our Weston neighbors (even though we can’t see them) in their fight to haul their town into the 21st 20th 19th century.
Evolution today! A 2nd restaurant tomorrow!
This progress thing could really take off.

“Maybe we’re the team that makes that blockbuster. You always have that zest, that desire to see if there’s that elusive deal that can help you. But when you do get on the phone, you quickly find out your counterparts are trying to find that same deal. It is a difficult thing.”
That was Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff (to Sportsnet), getting our hopes up with that first part about making a “blockbuster” trade, then bringing us back to earth with the reality of the situation.
We’ve already written about the potential for a big Winnipeg trade. From April:
Expect to hear Dustin Byfuglien‘s name floated in trade rumors this summer. The Jets are plenty deep on the back end, and coach Paul Maurice already said Byfuglien will be a forward next season, despite the player’s preference to remain a defenseman. Beyond Byfuglien, the Evander Kane situation is obviously worth watching. Clearly, there’s some tension there. Whether it’s become an untenable relationship is the question.
Cheveldayoff also suggested last week that this offseason could be a busy one with respect to trades, though he was referring to the NHL as a whole.
The Jets are coming off another disappointing season in which they failed to make the playoffs for the third straight time since the franchise moved to Winnipeg.

New Drug to Improve Quality of Life in Patients with Cancer Cachexia
(Chemotherapy Advisor) – A new drug developed by Æterna Zentaris, Inc. (Quebec City, Canada) might begin to ease the impact cancer cachexia has on the cancer patient's quality of life. Cancer cachexia, a complex metabolic syndrome characterized by diminished appetite and food intake, leads to at least a 5% decrease in pre-illness weight and is generally associated with a poor prognosis.
Ghrelin is a natural appetite stimulator found in the body, and Æterna Zentaris has used this biology to develop AEZS-130, a ghrelin agonist and novel small-molecule that stimulates appetite by increasing the secretion of growth hormone after binding to the ghrelin receptor. There are currently no approved treatments for cancer cachexia, and off-label treatments such as appetite stimulants are ineffective and have safety issues.
Æterna Zentaris is currently collaborating with the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center (Houston, Texas) to initiate a Phase 2a trial to assess the safety and efficacy of repeated doses of AEZS-130. The double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study will test the drug in 18 to 26 patients with cancer cachexia. Initial dosing will be followed by analysis of safety and efficacy data for that dose level, which will then inform a decision to increase or decrease the dose. The dosing protocol will then continue at the new dose level.
The primary outcome measures will be change in body weight, change in IGF-1 plasma levels, and change in quality of life score. Secondary primary outcome measures will include food intake, as well as changes in appetite, muscle strength, energy expenditure, and more.

Irvine, Calif., Sept. 19, 2006 -- Too much body fat may be a bad thing, but there is increasing evidence that too little fat also may have some surprisingly negative consequences.
Researchers at UC Irvine have found that fat droplets -- tiny balls of fat that exist in most cells -- appear to have an intriguing role to play when it comes to regulating excess proteins in the body. In a study with fruit flies, developmental biologist Steven Gross and colleagues found that these fat droplets served as storage depots for a type of protein used primarily by the cell to bind DNA and organize it in the nucleus. The fat keeps this extra protein out of the way until it is needed so that it does not cause harm within the cell. The findings imply that fat droplets could also serve as storage warehouses for other excess proteins that might otherwise cause harm if not sequestered. The study appears in the current issue of Current Biology.
"We were surprised to find that these droplets appear to be a mechanism for cleaning up excess proteins before they cause trouble," said Gross, associate professor of developmental and cell biology. "Obviously, everything in the body should be balanced. There is no doubt that huge amounts of fat tax your system in a lot of ways. But there now appears to be growing evidence that fat is also important for keeping us healthy."
Researchers used fruit flies in their experiments because of strong similarities between the fat droplets in the flies and in mammals. They purified the droplets in fruit fly embryos and used mass spectrometry to look at what, if any, proteins were associated with the droplets. They were surprised to find histones, a protein that is used by the cell to fold DNA within the nucleus. Even though histones appear to serve no purpose outside the nucleus, the scientists found that 50 percent of all the histones present in the cell were in the fat droplets. Interestingly, the amount of histones in the droplets dropped as the embryo moved from early development to later stages, indicating that the histones moved from the droplets to the nucleus as they were needed. In essence, the fat droplets acted as a warehouse where the proteins could be stored until needed by the nucleus of the cell.
Gross and his colleagues believe the droplets serve this purpose not just for histones, but for other excess proteins, as well. This has implications for how fat may be helping fight certain diseases when too much of certain proteins are produced.
"In prion diseases, such as Mad Cow Disease, for example, proteins in the brain are misshapen," Gross said. "They become abnormal, clump together and accumulate on brain tissue. Although we have no evidence yet that fat droplets could help with this, prion diseases are one area in which we can explore further to see if these droplets are helping keep excess bothersome proteins out of the way."
Gross emphasized that clinical trials would be needed to evaluate whether storage of proteins on fat droplets is important for human health.
Collaborating on the study with Gross were Silvia Cermelli of UCI, and Michael Welte and Yi Guo of Brandeis University. The study was funded by National Institute of General Medical Sciences and the National Institutes of Health.

Broncos Open 2002-2003 Home Season
The Santa Clara University men's basketball team will continue its 81st season of competition this week with three home games in the Leavey Center. Monday's contest against UC Santa Cruz will bein at 7 p.m., as will Wednesday night's game with Montana State and Saturday night's game with San Jose State. All three games will be broadcast live on the Bronco Radio Network, which consists of KDIA 1640 AM, KSCU 103.3 FM and SantaClaraBroncos.com. There are no television broadcasts scheduled for the three home games this week.
Head Coach Dick Davey
Now in his 11th season as Santa Clara's head coach, Dick Davey has a career coaching record of 174-117 (90-50 WCC), which includes three 20-win seasons. Davey has compiled a 91-32 record at home for a .740 winning percentage. He is the WCC's winningest active coach and is the first Bronco coach to lead Santa Clara to four 10-plus win seasons in WCC play. A three-time WCC Coach of the Year, Davey has coached Santa Clara to three WCC regular season titles, one WCC Tournament title, three NCAA Tournament appearances and four wins over top 25 teams. The dean of WCC head coaches, Davey served as a Bronco assistant for 15 seasons (1977-92) and is a member of the Board of Directors for the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
The Broncos will play Fresno State Wednesday night, December 4, at 7 p.m. in Fresno, Calif. Following that game Santa Clara will return home for a matchup with Pac-10 foe Washington, Saturday night December 7, at 7 p.m. in the Leavey Center. For tickets, call the Santa Clara Ticket office at 408/554-4660.
Charting the UC Santa Cruz Game
Santa Clara and UC Santa Cruz will meet for the first time Monday night when the two teams tipoff at 7 p.m. in the Leavey Center. UCSC is a NCAA Division III member institution located in nearby Santa Cruz, Calif.
Charting the Montana State Game
Santa Clara and Montana State have met two previous times in school history with the Broncos holding the all-time series advantage with their 2-0 record. Santa Clara and Montana State met twice during the 1939-40 season when the Broncos traveled to Bozeman for back-to-back games with the Bobcats. Santa Clara won the first meeting on January 3rd by a score of 44-25. The Broncos returned the next night for a 46-31 win, moving their season record to 10-1 at the time en route to a 17-3 season.
Charting the San Jose State Game
Santa Clara and cross-town rival San Jose State have met 91 previous times entering Saturday night's game, with the Broncos holding a 65-26 all-time series advantage. The series first started during the 1909-10 season when the Spartans handed the Broncos a 54-30 loss in Santa Clara. Since 1990 the two teams have met 11 times with Santa Clara claiming nine victories during that time span, including last year's thrilling comeback win in the Leavey Center. This year's contest has a little more meaning than usual as the two teams are competing as part of the new Rivalry Series created between the two schools that will have an overall winner for school whose teams win more head-to-head battles throughout the year. Currently the Broncos hold a 13-point lead over the Spartans through the first five meetings of the year. Santa Clara has defeated SJSU in volleyball, men and women's soccer and men and women's cross country.
Last Season Against the Spartans
Kyle Bailey hit a 3-pointer with four seconds remaining to lift Santa Clara to a 65-63 victory over San Jose State on Tuesday night as the Broncos avoided their worst start in 37 years by overcoming a 21-point deficit. Steve Ross scored 12 of his 17 points in the second half for Santa Clara (1-3), which hadn't lost more than three in a row to start a season since 1964. Jordan Legge, who finished with 16 points, set a freshman free throw record for Santa Clara, making 10-of-13. Brian Jones held the old mark with nine. Bailey finished with 15 points. Santa Clara, which missed six of his first seven attempts from 3-point range, relied on the long shot to climb back into the contest in the second half. Ross hit three consecutive 3-pointers and the Broncos used an 11-0 run to tie the game at 43-all with 13:22 remaining. San Jose State responded with a 14-2 run, with Alvarez scoring eight points, to take a 12-point edge five minutes later. The Spartans had a 63-62 lead with over a minute to play, but then turned the ball over with 14 seconds left to set up Bailey's heroics.
Broncos Win Season Opener over Pacific
Junior guard Kyle Bailey made four consecutive free throws in the final 16 seconds Friday night as Santa Clara held off University of the Pacific 78-72 at Spanos Center. Bailey led four Santa Clara players in double figures with 16 points. Bailey, who was 8 of 8 from the line, calmly sank two free throws after Demetrius Jackson (15 points) brought Pacific within 74-72 with 18 seconds left. Bailey then stole the ball from Jackson and made two more free throws with 10.7 seconds remaining to seal the victory. Santa Clara, which led 41-27 at halftime, increased its lead to 47-29 on Cord Anderson's 3-point basket two minutes into the second half. The Broncos made nine of their first 12 3-point attempts and were 11 of 17 from beyond the arc for the game. Pacific still trailed 60-45 with 8:31 remaining, but the Tigers went on a 16-2 run to draw within a point. Pacific then took its first lead since midway through the first half when Jackson made a 3-pointer to put the Tigers ahead 64-62 with 3:46 remaining. But Santa Clara immediately responded with a follow tip-in by Brad Anderson, a driving layup and free throw by freshman Brandon Rohe (15 points) and a 3-pointer by sophomore Ethan Rohde. The Broncos then made their free throws after Pacific twice cut the margin to two points in the final 27 seconds.
Bronco Drop Exhibition Contest
Santa Clara played just one exhibition game during the preseason, a 65-64 loss to the Olympic Club on Nov. 15. Both of the Broncos' returning starters, Kyle Bailey and Jordan Legge, missed the game due to injury as did key reserves Scott Borchart and J.R. Patrick. The Broncos started three former walk-ons in Brad and Cord Anderson and Ethan Rohde. Bakari Althiemer led the Broncos in scoring with 17 points, while Rohde chipped-in 11. Jim Howell was the game's rebounding leader with 16.
The Injury Bug
Despite getting Kyle Bailey back for the season opener, the injury bug has continued to plague Santa Clara. It claimed another victim during practice prior to the season-opener, as sophomore Bakari Altheimer suffered a stress fracture in his foot. He is expected to miss 3-6 weeks. Jordan Legge (knee) and Scott Borchart (shoulder) have been out for the last several weeks and are questionable for the home opener against UC Santa Cruz. Transfer J.R. Patrick underwent knee surgery in September and could return to the team in December. Alex Kargbo (back) and Travis Niesen (ankle) also missed time during the preseason but both played in the exhibition game and the season opener and are expected to be at full strength for the three home games this week.
SCU Games Broadcast On Bronco Radio Network
Santa Clara University men's basketball will continue to enjoy the widest radio coverage area in its history this season through the Bronco Radio Network. Radio Stations on the network include 10,000-watt KDIA-AM (1640) in San Francisco, Calif. and KSCU-FM (103.3) in Santa Clara. Popular play-by-play announcer Dave Lewis will return for his eighth season. Every Santa Clara men's basketball game will also be available via the Internet on the athletic department's official athletic website at www.SantaClaraBroncos.com.
Broncos Own WCC's Winningest Program
Historically speaking, the Santa Clara's men's basketball program owns the most victories of any team in the West Coast Conference since the league began play in the 1952-53 season. The Broncos have a league-leading 820 victories in 51 seasons for a 16.1 wins-per-season average. In league contests, Santa Clara has a league-leading 406 victories. Over the last seven seasons, the Broncos have won 61 percent of their games which is the second-winningest program in the WCC during that time.
Live Web Coverage of Bronco Basketball
This season Santa Clara athletics will enter its second season with a new feature that allows fans to follow each home game with a live statistics tracker. Users with Internet access can log onto the official athletic site for Santa Clara athletics (www.SantaClaraBroncos.com) and click on live box score to receive real-time updated statistics direct from the official courtside scoring computer. Santa Clara became the first school on the Official College Sports Network to launch the new FANSlive service using a specially-designed browser which provides fans a visually compelling alternative to watch Bronco basketball on the web.

Milwaukee, Wis. (PRWEB) August 31, 2005 -
home caregivers a way to provide an engaging and entertaining experience for long term care, lower functioning adults with AlzheimerÂs disease and dementia.
Each hour-long music-video is filled with birds and animals, ocean waves, peaceful desert sunsets and gently flowing mountain streams  the type of sounds and images AlzheimerÂs and dementia patients find appealing. They were created by Cedar Lake DVDs in Milwaukee, Wis.
ÂTaking our AlzheimerÂs and dementia residents on a visual journey to places far removed from their familiar surroundings, gives them a chance to be somewhere else for a while, and reduces their feeling of isolation, said Chris Karps, an activity director at St. JohnÂs on the Lake, a Milwaukee retirement community and assisted living center.
During product development trials, nursing home residents in need of long term care who viewed the DVDs tapped their feet in time with the music, hummed softly maintaining eye contact with the screen, identified objects verbally and, above all, smiled.
Because the AlzheimerÂs DVDs provide stimulation that is both visual and auditory, they have been found to be more effective than either music or video alone in connecting with long term care AlzheimerÂs and dementia patients and holding their attention, including those living in a retirement community.
Unlike many activities designed to occupy retirement community residents, no pre-planning is required in order to use the DVDs. In the few seconds it takes to load a disk into a DVD player, an entire group of residents can be occupied and entertained for periods of up to an hour or longer giving activity directors or in-home caregivers more time for other things.
Cedar Lake Health & Wellness Series DVDs for AlzheimerÂs and dementia are manufactured and distributed worldwide by Industries for the Blind, a self-sustaining 52-year-old Milwaukee-based not-for-profit organization that exists solely to provide employment for blind and visually impaired men and women.
Those wishing to learn more about AlzheimerÂs DVDs and the benefits it has for those living in a retirement community are invited to ÂTry Before You Buy by previewing the productions at the Cedar Lake website, CedarLakeDVD.com/Preview. Introductory pricing per DVD (or VHS) is $24.99 including shipping.

What are Fluoride Treatments?
Most of the dental products sold in drugstores today contain fluoride, which is a much-needed ingredient that helps to prevent tooth decay. If you aren’t getting enough fluoride or are simply looking for another way to fully protect your teeth, we offer in-office fluoride treatments. We often recommend these treatments to our pediatric patients as a way to prevent early childhood tooth decay, but the treatments can be just as beneficial for adults.
Why would Fluoride Treatments be needed?
If you’re not using fluoride-containing products or drinking fluoridated water, it is important to have fluoride treatments applied to your teeth to keep them healthy. Likewise, fluoride is an important component when it comes to preventing decay of baby teeth. Because children don’t always have the best eating and brushing habits, these fluoride treatments can be beneficial in preventing extensive dental problems. As an adult, keeping your teeth protected can be as simple as applying fluoride to them in a concentrated form.
What makes you a candidate for Fluoride Treatments?
With an exam and consultation, we can determine if you might benefit from fluoride treatments. Fluoride is harmless to your health and can be highly beneficial when it comes to protecting your teeth. The benefits of fluoride treatments outweigh any risks that may be involved. We often apply fluoride to our pediatric patients’ teeth before they leave the office after a bi-annual checkup visit.
What can be expected during Fluoride Treatments?
The treatment process begins with fluoride being brushed carefully over each tooth. It’s not unusual for the fluoride to have a bitter taste to it, but this is temporary and will go away shortly after it’s applied. You or your child will be instructed to not eat, drink or rinse for about 30 minutes. This gives the fluoride enough time to penetrate the teeth and actually work. You can request these treatments as often as you’d like, and we can do them in conjunction with other procedures being done. For children, we recommend fluoride treatments at every checkup visit.
If you’d like to learn more about fluoride treatments for either yourself or a child, call us now to speak with one of our trained and knowledgeable staff members.

Chocolate Banana Crinkle Muffins
Best muffin tops ever. And I’m one to judge.
I’ve pilfered oodles of muffin tops in my day, leaving behind only the stumpy muffin cores. No shame.
The muffins are moist and soft in the middle with a slight bit of chewiness around the edges of the muffin top. Throw in the texture from the sugar granules, and it’s a perfect bite.
The muffin tops remind me of snow-capped mountains. They’re are as close to snow as I prefer to come.
I hit the jackpot when I recently snagged a big bundle of discounted bananas. Beat up and tired, practically free, and perfect for banana muffins, banana bread, and banana smoothies. When I saw Nikki’s muffins, I knew I had to try a version of her recipe with my banana bounty.
I’m sure everyone knows this tip, but you can peel overripe bananas, break them into chunks, place in a Ziplock, and freeze. That way anytime you need ripe bananas for baking or smoothies, you’re set.
It’s an easy, no mixer recipe, with the perfect amount of chocolate to satisfy your chocolate cravings without being too intense for a breakfast muffin, and the chocolate dominates the banana flavor. No complaints there.
There’s both cocoa powder and mini chocolate chips in the muffin batter and although you can use regular-sized chips, I love mini chips in muffins because they melt much more evenly and don’t sink to the bottom as easily.
The recipe makes 13 or 14 muffins, or 1 dozen plus a mini loaf. I love my mini loaf pans for that extra little bit of batter that I hate throwing out, but refuse to dirty another muffin pan for a couple muffins. The loaf pan fits perfectly next to the muffin pan on the same oven rack so everything bakes evenly.
Chocolate-banana cake disguised as muffins. Definitely a keeper.

The recipe makes 13 or 14 muffins, or 1 dozen plus a mini loaf. Chocolate-banana cake disguised as muffins and definitely a keeper.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
heaping 1/4 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
pinch salt, optional and to taste
1 large egg
1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/4 cup sour cream (lite is okay; Greek yogurt may be substituted)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (from about 3 medium/large bananas)
1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (strongly recommended but regular size may be substituted)
about 1 teaspoon granulated sugar for each muffin, for sprinkling
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a Non-Stick 12-Cup Regular Muffin Pan and one mini loaf pan (recipe yields 13 or 14 muffins, or one dozen plus one mini loaf; or simply discard excess batter if that’s easier) very well with floured cooking spray or grease and flour the pan; set aside. (I don’t prefer the cosmetic look of muffin liners).
- To a large bowl, add the first 6 ingredients, through optional salt, and whisk to combine; set aside.
- To a medium bowl, add the egg, oil, sour cream, vanilla, and whisk to combine.
- Stir in the bananas.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and stir until just combined. Batter is quite thick and is prone to having dry bits hiding at the bottom of the bowl. Make sure everything is incorporated without unnecessarily over-mixing or muffins will be tough.
- Stir in the chocolate chips until just combined.
- Using a large cookie scoop, 1/4-cup measure, or spoon, turn batter out into prepared pans. Each muffin cavity should be filled to about 3/4 full, but not exceeding, or batter could overflow.
- Sprinkle the top of each muffin generously with sugar, about 1 teaspoon each. It looks like a lot but I like the visual pop and contrast of the white and dark; noting some absorbs and some is lost to the pan.
- Bake at 350F for about 22 to 25 minutes, or until muffins are set, domed, springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted into a crack comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter, noting it’s not a perfect test and you may hit melted chocolate chips which shouldn’t be confused with raw better. Don’t overbake which is very easy to do with dark-colored items and start watching them closely at 20 minutes. Allow muffins to cool in pan for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until they’ve firmed up and are cool enough to handle. Muffins will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months. I find the muffins taste better on day 2 after the flavors have married.

Being sworn in to the US Coast Guard
"I wanted you to know that you have been a great role model for him. He wants to join the military and then he wants to be a high school teacher. Thank you for not giving up on him."
"Amber's first semester final grade is an A. You really helped her a lot. She said she understands you better than her own teacher."
"Thank you for taking good care of my kids! I really appreciate all you've done!"
"I just wanted to say thank you again for the way you teach and interact with Eric. He enjoys learning math with you and he wishes you were his teacher. He doesn't feel as frustrated when he gets problems wrong or doesn't understand and I can see that his attitude has really improved towards working on math."
"When you first arrived Marissa had a C. Her test scores were D's and F's. Now she has a high B and is getting A's and B's on her tests. Thanks for your decision of a career change!"
A great success story, proof that hard work and determination brings great reward. He had a goal and he didn't stop until he reached it. He will now have new goals and adventures. CONGRATULATIONS to a job well done. I know he will achieve much, much more. I have been blessed with the opportunity to help him reach this milestone. I take comfort in knowing he will make many great contributions to our country and all who know him.

Striatal GABAergic microcircuits modulate cortical responses and movement execution in part by controlling the activity of medium spiny neurons (MSNs). How this is altered by chronic dopamine depletion, such as in Parkinson's disease, is not presently understood. We now report that, in dopamine-depleted slices of the striatum, MSNs generate giant spontaneous postsynaptic GABAergic currents (single or in bursts at 60 Hz) interspersed with silent episodes, rather than the continuous, low-frequency GABAergic drive (5 Hz) observed in control MSNs. This shift was observed in one-half of the MSN population, including both "D(1)-negative" and "D(1)-positive" MSNs. Single GABA and NMDA channel recordings revealed that the resting membrane potential and reversal potential of GABA were similar in control and dopamine-depleted MSNs, and depolarizing, but not excitatory, actions of GABA were observed. Glutamatergic and cholinergic antagonists did not block the GABAergic oscillations, suggesting that they were generated by GABAergic neurons. In support of this, cell-attached recordings revealed that a subpopulation of intrastriatal GABAergic interneurons generated bursts of spikes in dopamine-deprived conditions. This subpopulation included low-threshold spike interneurons but not fast-spiking interneurons, cholinergic interneurons, or MSNs. Therefore, a population of local GABAergic interneurons shifts from tonic to oscillatory mode when dopamine deprived and gives rise to spontaneous repetitive giant GABAergic currents in one-half the MSNs. We suggest that this may in turn alter integration of cortical signals by MSNs.

Spencer Dearborn ’18
Today’s the big day! It’s Mr. John Reimers’ 984362 birthday! To celebrate, he’ll smile for the first time this year, eat a larger bowl of dry oats than usual, and crack open a book of his favorite Shakespearean jokes! The Oracle is celebrating by taking a look back at some highlights from Reimers’ long and illustrious acting career. You might not be aware of his contributions to the screen–he’s too humble to share–but we did some detective work, and found everyone’s favorite Tar Heel in some pretty iconic roles over the years. Let’s take a look:
Kreacher, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: We begin with a lesser known role: Kreacher (pronounced “creature”). You may know this bubbly house elf for his hospitality towards Harry and company, but you likely never knew he was actually Reimers underneath a thin layer of makeup. Despite the undersized nose, it’s hard not to see the resemblance, though. I think we can all agree that this is one of Mr. Reimers’ most convincing performances.
Mr. Burns, The Simpsons: A more recognizable role from the small screen, Reimers did not physically act for the part of Burns; rather, he only provided his likeness for the cartoon rendition, although I think a little bit of that signature Reim-dawg charm slipped into the character too.
Yoda, Star Wars: Yes, one of the most iconic supporting characters in film history was played by John Reimers. Surprised? Don’t be: their personalities are exactly the same. In an interview, director Irvin Kershner stated, “We gave [Johnny] a script, but he threw it out and improvised every single line. The results were amazing, albeit incredibly confusing.” Does that not sound exactly like a class with Reimers? Just a bunch of seemingly nonsensical babble that somehow leaves you feeling enlightened.
Please wish Mr. Reimers a very happy birthday when you see him, and be sure to congratulate him on such a fantastic career in both acting and teaching.

“Momma, here come the Truexes again. Why do they always show up at dinner time?”
“They’re hungry, son. They don’t have much, so your Dad always invites them to come eat with us. Does that bother you?”
“Well, no Mom, but you know I don’t like Connie. She is smelly and her hair is so ratty, I don’t even like to look at her.”
“Lucian, be ashamed of yourself. Connie can’t help the way she is. She has it a lot harder than we do. Don’t you remember when you had to go outside to the pump to wash up?”
Looking back over the years, I can truly say, “Yes, Momma, I do.”
I also remember a Daddy that would share the little bit he had with those who had even less. I remember the Truexes and many more hungry folks sitting at our table, day after day, eating the ever-present beans and potatoes.
There were drunks and derelicts that Tommy, my Dad, would bring home from the streets where he worked, to feed them and let them share the warmth of our home on those cold winter nights.
There were the other families who lived in our poor neighborhood who would spontaneously show up at dinnertime without any invite, knowing Tommy would not turn them away. Granted, they would only get beans and potatoes with flour biscuits, for that’s all we had, but I can’t ever remember anyone complaining.
I remember an incident involving ole Harrell Martin, our mean next-door neighbor.
Harrell was a monster of a man, in size and attitude. Once, Harrell had pushed my younger brother, injuring him. My Dad, who was born with one hand and had a crushed hip from his youth, resulting in one leg being shorter than the other, jumped in between them. Harrell fought Dad until my older brother and I chased him off with a pick ax.
I remember sitting at the dinner table one evening watching this ole goat sitting on his broke down front porch with his head in his hands. His wife had left him because of his cruelty and the bank was about to repossess his home for lack of payments. He looked like his world had ended.
Without a word, my Dad got up from the table, filled a large plate with beans, fried potatoes, and several biscuits and headed out the door towards Harrell. I held my breath as I saw my Dad approach this massive giant with his only hand outstretched in fellowship and the plate of food cradled in his other arm. I watched as Harrell’s body shook and tears flooded from his eyes. He took Dads hand and held it to his tear stained cheek without saying a word. Dad gave him the food and I heard him say, “ I thought you might be hungry. Come on over if you would like some company.” With that Daddy came back to the table and never said a word about it to us.
Harrell did lose his home and left the area. Many years later he returned in an old RV to visit Dad. They would sit and talk like two old long-lost friends. Yes, I remember that. I will always remember that. Dad did more than feed a hungry man; he made a friend out of an enemy by forgiving and extending his hand.
I learned so much from my humble Dad. He truly exemplified Proverbs 25:21, “If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.” (NIV)
He had so little, but he shared what he had with those who had even less. He would always say that nothing is worth having if you can’t give it away. It took me a long time to fully understand this saying. Dad wasn’t owned by any possession, nor motivated to acquire them. He used them till he saw someone who needed them more than he did. His joy was complete in sharing, truly his cup overflowed.
How I pray that all of you have a Harrell in your lives or some Truexes with whom to share. That you too, would come to know that nothing is worth having if you can’t give it away.
Isaiah 58:10 says, “and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.”

Today, the Elven range arrived back from Stampington in America, following publication in the Autumn edition of Belle Armoire Jewelry. Over the next day or two, these five items will be added to the shop!
Hello! I live with my little family in an old cottage nestled into an ancient, wonderful forest. We are lucky enough to wake up to nature in all its glory and a backdrop of towering trees every morning - scenery that we could gaze at all the live-long day. I create textile jewellery that is influenced by my surroundings...and by the fairytales that dance along the forest floor.

WOW – one would not think that it would take so much time to download, upload, and write a Blog. I think that I will NOT let so much time go by again without doing a Blog! What a zoo! The previous Blog took some doing – especially when in the middle writing and download pictures the Jet Pack decided to kick me off my internet!
Back to the subject matter of Quilting! I recently moved my 1941 Singer 301 (named Blackie -so original LOL) into the Den from the Studio on its beautiful Singer Table! Now I can sew in the evening if the desire hits me. It was getting too crowded in the Studio. Here is a small project that I have finally finished. It is going to be a cover for my Singer 301 machine at home. It is a Pat Sloan pattern and boy did I make it wild-looking! I want to add another border to complete it, but not sure what I am going to do. Thinking of doing some HSTs for the last border! It will need something.
The other finished project was a quilt that I had made in 2008 (I think) for our California King at home. I finally had it quilted (pantogram) 2 years ago and this year I threw it on our bed in the 5th wheel (binding not finished) and last week decided I had better get it done! Finished. Rosemary Youngs is way ahead of me as I still have 5 more to hand bind when I get home that were quilted in 2013. The fabric was from Hobby Lobby. It was the last of the fabric that I had purchased from a “non-quilt” store. I started making pin wheel blocks and realized that if it was going to be on a large bed I had better start being creative! I had a block left over so I covered the pillow. I really like the way it turned out! I do wish I would spend more time on documenting my quilts. Each one has a different story to tell and if I did that “someone” in later years when I am gone would have a good story to read about each quilt. Lesson Learned – Document each project for the future owner.
I am getting ready to start working on new projects. One of them is the Farmers Wife 1930 Sampler. A lady in Australia started a sew-along and Marti Michell provides conversion charts for her templates along with the 2 blocks each week. Of course, being of not so sound mind the last 18 months, I thought I would join in! UNTIL last week when I realized that that there was a new Farmers Wife book – not the one I brought along (the 1920 Sampler one). Talk about playing catchup…Click on the link to the right to see what it is all about. There are over 4,000 quilters taking part. Now the fabric they are using is nothing like I will use – not my style or colors. AND because I did not realize it was 1930’s (duh – head in sand problem) all of my Aunt Gracie fabric is in my Studio and I could not (for some unknown reason) drag the Studio along on this trip. So it will be made with Reproduction fabrics, OR it will be shopping time in Sahurita, Arizona at a great quilt store. I am hoping that the next 5 days will be quilting days with no interruptions of stopping to go have fun – DARN!
I am making myself a promise that 2016 WILL be a more productive year for me with my quilting. I miss showing my work in the Quilt Shows. I have shown in Sierra Vista and in Tucson but they have moved their shows to February and March and we are usually home by then. I do have 2 shows in Texas in 2016 and I would like to have 4 quilts ready to show! Vacation time from Quilt Show Stress is also OVER!
Have a great week-end and enjoy life – even if there are some pits in it. Just spit them out and try a seedless grape – no pits there – Until next update!

Selena, just look at how happy you are with Zedd. In your photos at the Vanity Fair post-Oscars party, you look radiant. And let’s talk about how productive you’ve been since he entered your life. Selena, stick with Zedd and stay away from Justin Bieber.
Selena Gomez, you have become a changed woman since Zedd entered your life. The old Selena, 22, of just a couple months ago looked strained and stressed. Even as you tried to vacation and party with friends, you never looked genuinely relaxed and happy.

It’s that time of year again… the leaves are falling, the nights are cooler, and people all over Victoria start drinking pumpkin spice lattes. Fall has arrived!
Do you like this season? Victoria normally has a very nice fall. Especially in the first few weeks, the weather is often dry and clear; this means blue skies, golden sunshine, and orangey-red leaves. I love it! Soon after, the rains will start to come. The fallen leaves will become slippery, and the sidewalks will be full of puddles – so watch your step!
What do we eat in fall? This is when Canadians start to cook more winter dishes. These include soups, stews, and anything with squash in it. We also like to drink pumpkin spice lattes, gingerbread lattes, and peppermint mochas. Some people complain when coffee shops start offering these drinks at the end of August!
What about fall activities? Well, some people will go camping on the weekend. It is a little colder than in August, but September is our last chance to get out into the forest, so some die-hard (crazy, committed) camping fans will still do it! Most farmers markets run until the middle or end of the month as well, so don’t miss this chance to stock up on (buy lots of) local vegetables.
Orange leaves, hot drinks, and cool weather… have a great fall!
I have decided to start an intensive course at our school for those who want to take the CELPIP* test at Real English Victoria. So many people want to know how to prepare properly and what things they can do to increase their score on the test. But there is so little information and books available, there are few options in Victoria.
Intensive Preparation Course for CELPIP*
9 Weeks: October 1st – November 30th, 2018
Time: 4:30PM – 6:30PM (90 hours)
Cost: $1740 + tax
This is the BEST preparation course in Victoria and it will cover every section of the test multiple times. I am very serious about student results, so the course has been designed to give you the confidence to take the CELPIP* test and help you to move up from 5~6, 6~7, 7~8, or 8~9.
If you follow the exclusive REV system, you will improve quickly. Each week you will practice reading and writing in the first hour and listening and speaking in the second hour of the class. Outside of class, you will be able to plan activities or homework, depending on how you enjoy learning. Some people might prefer to work on writing, while others prefer listening, speaking, or reading at home.
In my next post, I will talk about the different sections of the test, occasionally providing you with videos and websites that I think will help you master the CELPIP* test! But if you really want a good chance of getting the score you need, or if your only goal is to improve your English skills, coming to my class in Victoria will be the best way for you to ace the CELPIP*.
Visit our website (https://realenglishvictoria.com) for more information and check back here in a couple of days for the first post to help you with CELPIP*.

Real English Victoria is quiet this week.
I don’t mean totally; I mean relatively.
From July 31st to August 8th, 20 students from Musashino Joshi Gakuin, a high school near Tokyo, descended on Victoria to investigate the differences between education, environmental protection, and nutrition between Japan and Canada.
The spaces at REV were perfect for small collaborative groups where students practiced their English in discussions and project-related activities, while Canadian buddies and experienced teachers helped students use English in more powerful ways.
Do you want to improve your English but are overwhelmed with all the choices of language schools?
很多人在來加拿大前發現有無數的語言學校可以選擇，但是眼花撩亂之餘，是否不免覺得語言學校的課程千篇一律都是文法、寫作、聽力、對話。其實選擇語言學校最重要的依據非常簡單，就是學校的課程是否能幫助你達到所想要的語言目標。來過Real English Victoria (REV)的學生都能很有信心的告訴你，我們就是你要找的那間學校! REV能比其他學校夠有效率的幫助學生是因為我們獨一無二的”個人學習計畫書” (Individual Learning Plan)，我們透過以下方式來幫助學生達成他們的語言學習目標:
Many students face the choice of language schools before they even set foot in Canada. There might be tons of options, but students probably can’t help but notice that most schools offer the cookie-cutter kind of programs in which students sit in boring grammar, reading and writing, listening, and conversation classes.
Did you know that writing a blog or recording video logs, can greatly increase the speed at which you improve your English? Letting other people see your mistakes and watch you fix them has a lot of benefits. I always encourage students to listen to and watch themselves speaking English. This will help you know what you sound like and what you look like when you are communicating with others in English.
“How ya gittin’ on, b’ys?”
Everywhere you go in the world people speak English just a little bit differently. Everyone knows that British folks sound different than those born in Canada and the United States. But did you know how differently English is spoken in various regions of Canada? Did you know that there are quite a number of Canadians who were born here, but they have never had to learn English? Of course, I am sure you are aware of the same phenomena in your own or other countries in the world.

At the crux of Stickers‘ upcoming debut LP, Swollen, is the pulsing heart of “Sacajawea” — a song devoted entirely to its namesake that offers a darker side to her historical narrative. A mournful saxophone line provides a backdrop to Gabi Page-Fort’s menacing vocal delivery, which does nothing but build until it splits right open. Premiered earlier today via Gimme Tinnitus, you can listen to “Sacajawea” below:
Stickers’ next Seattle appearance will be at the Capitol Hill Block Party this Sunday at the Cha Cha, with So Pitted, Haunted Horses, and more. Next up will be the Swollen release show at Black Lodge on 8/8. All upcoming tour details are below!

Domination by amplification!
In the late 20th century a highly decorated guitar player, distinguished sound maker, noise connoisseur and passionate chocolate gourmet from Berlin started to collect amps. He threw up sound waves of colossal energy and length at 10 or louder – and they hit! Christopher Colossus evolved and became a drone metal noise rock congregation of one guitar, a handful of old amps and their player Chris.

Formation of the contract lectures
The formation of the contract is where the contractual journey begins; if no contract is formed, neither of the parties can be under any obligations. Therefore, it is very important to have an understanding of each part of a contract’s formation.
In order for a legally binding agreement to be formed, there are four basic requirements to be met:
- 2.1 Offer Lecture
- 2.2 Acceptance Lecture
- 2.3 Certainty & Intention to Create Legal Relations Lecture
- 2.4 Consideration & Promissory Estoppel Lecture
These four sections operate together, but have distinct rules and you will need to understand each one to be able to understand the formation of a contract.
The initial offer and acceptance will form an agreement. This is not legally binding unless there is certainty, intention to create legal relations, and consideration. The sections following this introduction will explore each of the core requirements in turn, ensuring you have a comprehensive understanding of them and their relation to each other.
After completing the lessons on the four core requirements you should refer back to this introduction and check you have met all of the following goals and objectives:
The goals of this section will be for you:
- To understand how a contract is formed
- To understand each core concept of a contract
- To understand the relationship between each core concept of a contract
- To be able to understand the key terminology that relates to the formation of the contract
- To be able to identify when a contract has been formed
- To be able to identify whether the issue with a contract’s formation is with the offer, acceptance, certainty/intention or consideration

The new civic centre in Truro was officially named the Rath Eastlink Community Centre on Tuesday.
TRURO - Contrary to some public perception, guidelines were followed when choosing the name of the region's new civic centre.
Comments on the Truro Daily News website show mixed reaction to the civic centre's new name – the Rath EastLink Community Centre – which was revealed during a by-invite-only conference in Truro on Tuesday.
Jon Stanfield, chairman of the Ignite the Spirit campaign, which has been the main fundraising initiative for the centre, said rules were followed when choosing whose name would go on the civic centre building.
In the end, it came down to money.
"Obviously, they are large amounts," donated by Rath and Bragg, said Stanfield.
"The dollar amount and the reputation of those people and that the business fits in with the community were the main reasons" they were chosen, Stanfield said.
"And the donors' contributions will go to reduce the amount of the tax base people have to pay."
The question remains how much money was donated by the businessmen. Both Rath and Bragg refused to reveal what their contributions were. Stanfield also wouldn't say how much was donated by them.
"There are privacy laws," Stanfield told the Truro Daily News.
He also refrained from saying how much a minimum donation would be in order for a name to be chosen for the building.
"It would be bigger dollar amounts ... and they have five years to pay off their donation," confirmed Stanfield.
The naming and donor policy also indicates the one-time donations mean the building will bear the name Rath EastLink Community Centre for the "lifespan of the facility or until major renovations are needed, at which time another capital campaign" would most likely take place.
When asked what happens to the signage if EastLink were to fold in the Truro area, Stanfield said the business would no longer be reflected in the name.
"If EastLink closed, its name comes off the building. That was part of the naming and gift agreement," confirmed Stanfield, adding there aren't any free advertising perks either.

Suffolk County police will crack down on adults who serve alcohol to minors over the summer, when rates of underage drinking spike, officials said Wednesday.
Last year, Suffolk County strengthened its social host law — which holds adults liable for knowingly permitting underage drinking in their homes — to allow greater enforcement, police Commissioner Timothy Sini said at a news conference at police headquarters in Yaphank. The change made a first offense a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a $500 fine, rather than a violation.
Bolstering the law was an effort to prevent the emergency room visits, car accidents, deaths and other issues that result from underage drinking, Sini said.
“This is a public health issue,” he said. “We will not tolerate adults serving children alcohol. It’s that simple.”
When the first offense was a violation, an officer could not issue a summons or make an arrest unless he witnessed the underage drinking. Police could not rely on “extrinsic evidence,” such as witness statements or video surveillance, to enforce the law, Sini said.
Making a first offense a misdemeanor changed this and gave the officers “more tools in our toolbox” to enforce the law, Sini said.
Second and subsequent offenses are punishable by a maximum $1,000 fine and up to a year imprisonment.
County lawmakers voted unanimously to amend the law in June 2016.
The time between Memorial Day and Labor Day is also “the most lethal period” for teen traffic accidents, said Pamela Mizzi, director of prevention for the Suffolk County Prevention Resource Center.
Binge drinking among teens could increase the likelihood of the use of other drugs, Mizzi said.
Legis. Tom Cilmi (R-Bay Shore), who sponsored the amendment to the social host law last year, said the county’s intent is not to “lock up parents” for serving alcohol but to “send a clear message to those parents” and deter harmful behavior.
Residents can also call Suffolk County’s “Cancel the Keg” hotline to report plans for an underage drinking party, and an officer will respond to that residence to notify parents, Sini said.
“[Underage drinking] is illegal. It’s dangerous and we will not stand for it,” Cilmi said.

Print Care Instructions
These care instructions provide you with basic guidelines which will help you care for your investment. Your purchase is an investment that we want you and your family to enjoy for generations to come.
Please read and follow our guidelines carefully:
DO NOT place photos face-down on any object or uneven surface to avoid damaging your printed image. This also applies to placing objects on top of the artwork while it is in storage. Please keep handling to a minimum and hold your print only from it’s sides. Fine art rag papers scratch easily, so be very careful to avoid scraping anything across the surface of the print as this will mar the surface.
It is recommended that you DO NOT display your prints in direct sunlight and avoid high intensity lighting. Light and high temperature can cause colour fading. Use glass-filtered frames such as acrylic glazing or glass specifically designed to help keep UV light from affecting your print. This also seals the print from harmful airborne pollutants such as dust and ozone.
We recommend that you keep your prints in a relatively controlled environment. Repeated exposure to extreme and to sudden changes in humidity or temperature will have an adverse effect on the longevity of your artwork surface and substrate materials. We recommend displaying your prints in a low-traffic area to reduce the risk of physical damage by passers-by. Hang your prints at an elevation that keeps it out of the reach of young children.
Photos stored in the dark will last longer than photos that are exposed to light. Use archival quality albums or storage materials to prevent damage to your prints. Avoid high temperatures and high humidity to promote the image permanence of your photos.

YOUTH SPIRIT ARTWORKS Youth Spirit Artworks is moving a few doors down to a new, bigger location in the Lorin District at 1740 Alcatraz Ave. on Oct 1. Executive Director Sally Hindman said the new spot will be shared with a startup company, but that there will still be a great deal more space for the group’s participants. Youth Spirit is a nonprofit that helps homeless and low-income youth from around the Bay Area get involved in crafting studio art and selling it through an enterprise program called the Art Cart. The organization will host a grand opening for its new location in early November. Individuals interested to learn more about the program’s work can drop by for the unveiling of a new mural painted by the center’s youth at Alcatraz and Sacramento Street this Saturday, Sept. 28, from noon to 2 p.m.
THE SAGE CENTERS A new co-working space for people over 50 called The SAGE Centers — not to be confused with the David Brower Center-based SAGE organization, which stands for Sustainable Agriculture Education — is opening at 1454 Sixth St. in West Berkeley. The organization had its grand opening party Sept. 21, but will open its doors officially Oct. 1. The SAGE Centers plans to operate as a business incubator and shared workspace that is “more focused on building relationships between people, rather than human to computer.” The facility also doubles as an educational space where members and non-members can take classes such as “Checking out Your Inner Entrepreneur,” “Vibrant After 50 Support Group” and “Delicious Gluten-free Cooking,” as well as other sessions that deal with brain science, how relationships change, exercise and music. Learn more on The SAGE Centers website.
NEW RESTAURANTS FOR BERKELEY Our Bites column published Friday brought the news of a bunch of new restaurants slated to open in Berkeley. Here’s a refresher in case you missed it: Downtown Berkeley may get a new watering hole called Tupper & Reed in the former Beckett’s location at 2271 Shattuck Ave. The owners of Bistro Liaison hope to open a new eatery, Petit Cochon, in the former Oggi location, also downtown. Lots of changes are coming to the Lorin: Lemat Ethiopian Restaurant and Café is scheduled to open next summer at 3212 Adeline St. Thai restaurant Giin Thai Canteen is slated to open in the former location of Le Bayou Cajun and Creole Café at 3278 Adeline St. Rasa Café plans to open in the former Alchemy Collective location at 3140 Martin Luther King Jr. Way. And Domino’s Pizza is headed back to the Lorin with a new “Pizza Theater” concept that will be “the first of its kind in the greater Bay Area.” Coming to downtown Berkeley in October: Cakes and Purls is moving across the passageway from its current location at 2115 Allston Way; and burger shop Eureka! is expected to open soon on Center Street, with plans to hire 75 year-round employees.
SPIRIT STORE It’s never too early to start researching your Halloween costume, right? Spirit, purveyors of exclusively Halloween merchandise, opened in early September at 2187 Shattuck Ave. (in the old Walgreen’s space). The store is currently looking to hire five more employees who will work from late September through November 2, when the business shutters for another year. For inquiries about Halloween products or employment contact the store.
CHRISTMAS TREE LOTS The winter holidays may be even further away than Halloween, but that doesn’t mean merchants aren’t getting prepared already. Berkeley has already received two applications for permits to set up Christmas tree lots, at 1201 San Pablo Ave. and 1698 University Ave.
Shop Talk is our regular column in which we post updates on Berkeley businesses — openings, closings, new directions, relaunches, relocations. If you’re a Berkeley business with news, or a Berkeleysider who has spotted a change in your neighborhood or on your travels, shoot us an email with the details. Read previous Shop Talk columns. Check out also our weekly Bites column, which provides food news for the whole East Bay.

where is pc gaming going?comments powered by Disqus
Posted on Thursday, August 21 2008 @ 04:37:02 Eastern
i'm surely not the only one who's noticed the trend, the pc developers are leaving pc and embracing consoles.
and i'm all for consoles i prefer them over pc myself, but as someone trying to get a gig in the video games industry, this is a bit of a problem.
you get epic, claiming unreall III has more pirated cd keys running the game than they have legitimate ones. games like stalker clear skies about to release and almost no-one knows anything about it. crysis, possibly the most awe inspiring real time art i've ever seen, ignored on shelves.
so lets start with unreall III
it's not a new game, like game revolutions x360 review says, it's the same game it was in 1999. hell they removed many playmodes it's predecessors had.
so people pirate it. it's hardly worth the effort to buy a tenth of the previous title. it'll barely run on anything bar shader model 4 video cards. and all you'll do is get a few quick games in once in a while... or it's just to test your system out.
it's getting raped by torrents because it's not actually worth buying.
then you've got stalker, the new stalker is about to realease, and apart from a side not in game revolutions largely irritating news feed saying as much, we've heard very little.
this is because GSC has decided to self publish, they mistakingly believe that a good game sell's itself, it wont, i really hope they intend to use the initial sales to cram it's dx10 awesomeness down our throats.
now for crysis, this is a very pretty game, very pretty, too pretty. another title who's being ripped off extensively, this time because it's system requirements scare people away. publishers have adjusted the way they recommend system requirements because of this, and as far as i'm concerned they've done more damage.
in the community i run in the "recommended" is the pc the game is built on, the box art should look the same as it runs. in modern publishing, the recomended is what it takes to run at a reasonable framerate at the monitors native resolution. every performance setting is likely off and the original commander keen games look better.
this is a great slight of hand the first time, but once bitten, twice shy. you don't trust the recommended specs anymore, look at the pictures. put the numbers together and decide it's a waste of money. you would need to upgrade.
and in some cases download the game from a torrent, to "try it" play and finish it and then never pay for a copy.
broadband is getting faster, and is more frequently used in piracy. games add more and more anti-piracy to protect them but all that does is make the legitimate purchasers lives harder.
so many pc developers jump ship and become console devs. can you blame them? modding robs them of further revenue from the box title, piracy robs them of the initial revenue.
piracy exists on the consoles too, but it's generally harder to do, requiring hardware modifications, and in some cases dodging system updates that patch anti-piracy to beat even those chips. you also get the benefits of developing for known hardware with fixed specs. no random driver issues because nvidia wants more bullet points, no complete loss of 3d audio when microsoft decides directsound is too much effort everyone use openAL.
pc gaming is struggling, if your not the sims or world of warcraft...your likely not making much money.
someone needs to get it right, i have some thoughts on what right is. but it's not for everyone.
for me it's a single player game where you get new content when you log on. you pay a monthly fee for premium content, you get ads in game for basic content. the initial cost of the boxed game offsets the first however many months. the download version is free and you can select your account from there.
it gets around piracy by not selling the game, it sells the content for the game. you need to validate your game with the server so it's constantly getting patched for piracy hacks. you keep people coming back for new content so replay value is high.
you can keep content streaming in by offering modders a royalty for high quality stuff, everytime a player is served that content a royalty is earned. upstart mod groups can form into a legitimate game developer if they can make their mods desirable enough and also earn a name for themselves which inturn translates to free publicity.
of course this is my pipedream, someone might do it one day. they most likely wont/ everyone will just keep whining about piracy and convert to console developement.
of course, i'm a someone....

Dolphin is one of the charming looking sea creatures to be given shape on the piece of paper. You can draw it as a beginner or even as the professional artist. Below we would help you in drawing it
Draw a Dolphin Easy
If you are going to draw the Dolphin for the very first time then we would say that although Drawing the Dolphin is not a big task if you are someone who knows how to draw quite well but still to make it better have yourself a source of visualization.
This source would help you to draw a Dolphin easy.
You may start drawing the Dolphin step by step with the help of that Dolphin source guidance
How to Draw Dolphin Tail and the Head
Drawing the dolphin’s tail and the head are the two essential elements of the dolphin’s overall shape and the both parts are quite easy to draw as well. In order to draw the tail of the head you just need to draw the triangle at the bottom of the aerofoil framed body of the dolphin which would give a best tail shape to the Dolphin.
Further drawing the head is an easy task and for that first of all draw a circle attaching to the oval. Next you need to find the position of the eye with the curve attached by the oval.
Now you need to place that eye within that oval which is attached to the circle of head. Then to give a smile shape to this Dolphin you can draw a small circle with a curve on the tip of the mouth. With this the head of the Dolphin will be completed.
How to Draw a Dolphin Jumping out of the Water
Drawing a Dolphin jumping out of the water is not a big task it’s all about the shape of the Dolphin which would give a jumping shape to the Dolphin. You can first of all draw a Dolphin with the same guidelines as we have provided above in the section a little changes which you will need to make is giving a curved shape to the Dolphin.
The curved shape will put the Dolphin as the jumping one and below the Dolphin you can draw the waves of the water which would complete the Dolphin jumping pose.
How to Draw Dolphin Step by Step
- First of all get started with drawing aerofoil shape the same aerofoil shape that an airplane has
- Now at the top of the aerofoil draw an upper right oblong
- Then further add to give a shape of mouth to the dolphin add the snout to the shape
- The next part is drawing a trail of the dolphin which can be easily drawn by the triangle shape at the bottom of the aerofoil
- Now make this tail and the rest of the dolphin body more refined and then draw the eyes of the Dolphin
- Now at last give the final shape to the dolphin by the help of the pan or the marker and erase all the unnecessary lines.
- Finally fill the dolphin with the colors and the surrounding water as well.
Way to Draw a Dolphin Cartoon
In this section we would provide you with some basic ideas that how can you draw the Dolphin cartoon. Keep in mind that drawing a Dolphin cartoon is purely the work of creativity and the Cartoon Dolphin may be given some unrealistic modifications as well.
First of all keep in mind the structure of the Dolphin that it has two flippers with a small fluke and they use their dorsal for the swimming purpose. You may give your own creative shape to these parts of the body.
Further the main body frame of the dolphin is aerofoil shaped body below which there is triangle to give the tail to the dolphin. An oval and the curve above the oval is used for the head and the face structure of the body.
Method to Draw a Bottlenose Dolphin
- First of all draw the hooked shape snout of the Dolphin
- Now above this hooked shape snout draw a dot which would be the eye of the dolphin
- Next start drawing a large line starting from the upper part of the hooked snout.
- This line is for the back if the dolphin with a C shape
- Now come to the eye and behind that draw another line for the neck and after the neck draw a V shaped fin for the dolphin.
- Then another angle line will meet the back line below.
- In the bottle draw a triangle shaped tail

By Graham Land
Despite there being only 3,500 tigers left in the wild, China’s tiger farms and zoos house around 5,000 of the endangered big cats. According to the WWF there are only 45 wild tigers estimated to be living in China.
Around ten years ago, shocking reports surfaced regarding the number of pet tigers in the US state of Texas. Some estimates put that number at around 2,000. As absurd and cruel as that may be, at least the tigers in Texas are not being farmed for their parts.
A new report by the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) a UK-based NGO, has uncovered the existence of a legal Chinese domestic market in tiger skins, which in turn fuels big cat poaching as a cheaper, alternative source. Bones from farmed tigers are also being used in the manufacture of “real tiger wine”, considered a luxury health tonic, which of course has no actual health benefits.
China has promised to double the number of wild tigers by 2022 and has signed the UN Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, which bans the international trade in tiger parts and their derivatives. At international meetings Chinese officials have expressed their commitment to end the illegal trade in tiger parts, but what are they doing? How does issuing permits for farming tigers in order to sell their skins as rugs and use their bones in wine to be sold in nightclubs and hospitals fit into that? The farming of tigers for their skins may be legal in China (the use of tiger bone for medicinal purposes was banned in 1993), but it’s plainly counterproductive.
Debbie Banks, Head of EIA’s Tiger Campaign, is quoted in a press release:
"The stark contradiction between China’s international posture supporting efforts to save the wild tiger and its inward-facing domestic policies which stimulate demand and ultimately drive the poaching of wild tigers represents one of the biggest cons ever perpetrated in the history of tiger conservation. Pro-tiger trade policies are championed by only a handful of officials in a couple of Government departments and it behooves China to vigorously address and terminate this intolerable disconnect between words and deeds which so undermines international efforts to save the tiger."

Clerk killed in Bensenville robbery attempt

Federal Data Give the Clearest Look Yet at America's Homeless Students
Some 1.3 million American students don't have a safe, stable place to sleep at night, according to the latest federal Condition of Education report.
The Condition of Education provides data on public and private school students, teachers, and schools, from trends in enrollment to achievement. This year it provided a detailed picture of K-12 public school students who were homeless—including students living on the street, in shelters, hotels, or doubled up with family or friends—in the 2014-15 school year.
Two and a half percent of students were homeless that year, a slight decline from 2013 but still significantly higher than before the 2008 recession. Some 578,000 urban students were homeless in 2014, representing 3.7 percent of all students in city districts. While only 2 percent of suburban students were homeless, that still represented 422,000 students. Some of the nation's largest school districts had enough homeless students to make up large school districts all on their own: In New York CIty, for example, 100,000 students were homeless, while Chicago had nearly 20,000.
As a prior federal study shows, living in a shelter can hinder young children's academic progress even two years after gaining a stable home. As the chart below shows, early elementary-age children are often particularly likely to lack a stable home:
While an influx of unaccompanied immigrant children have garnered significant attention in recent years, the data show that overall, homeless children who are not in the care of a parent or guardian make up only 8 percent of all homeless students, and migrant children make up only 1 percent.
The Every Student Succeeds Act creates significantly more accountability for schools in supporting their homeless students. All states will have to report not just the number of homeless students, but their academic achievement and graduation rates as a separate student group.
For a homeless student's perspective on navigating school and life, see Education Week's recent video with PBS NewsHour:
Preschool Poverty's Effects Linger Through 3rd Grade
In a separate highlight report for the 2017 Condition of Education, federal data show children whose parents did not graduate from high school and who are poor enter kindergarten less prepared than pupils without those risk factors, and they trail other students academically through 3rd grade, according to the report.
The data show students with both family-income and education-risk factors performed consistently worse in reading and math than those with fewer or no risk factors. Of students with one risk factor, those whose parents had less education performed slightly worse than those who were poor.

Engineering and construction are likely to be attractive areas for investors as a revival in infrastructure spending accelerates over the next decade, according to a white paper from The Boston Company Asset Management (TBCAM), the Boston-based equity investor for BNY Mellon.
The report, A Blueprint for Investing in Infrastructure Themes, notes decaying bridges and roads are a common theme throughout the U.S. and other developed economies. In Germany, for example, a recent government study concluded that $9.7 billion needs to be spent annually to maintain the current infrastructure, according to the report.
In the U.S. well-publicized events such as the 2003 blackout in the Northeast and the 2010 natural gas explosion in San Bruno, CA, served as reminders of the neglected infrastructure, the report said.
While governments in both developed and developing economies appear hard pressed to finance these projects, TBCAM said it believes the current levels of underinvestment are not sustainable over the long term and that innovative methods will be found to raise the necessary money.
Public-private partnerships have been gaining ground as a way to finance infrastructure, the report said. In this arrangement, a private enterprise designs, builds, assists with financing, and operates the project for a specified time. This can provide a return on capital to the private enterprise, while the public benefits from the creation of new or upgraded infrastructure, TBCAM said.
“While public-private partnerships have been common in Europe for some time, they appear to be gaining greater acceptance in the U.S.,” said James A. Lydotes, a co-author of the white paper and a TBCAM portfolio manager. “The U.S. represents a secular growth opportunity.”
It is becoming increasingly common for engineering and construction companies, which are contracted to design and build infrastructure projects such as toll roads, to participate in project financing by providing some equity, the report said. TBCAM also noted that investors can own shares of companies that operate and maintain infrastructure projects such as toll roads after they are built.
While TBCAM said it is bullish on construction materials in general, the report said that the shale boom is generating a significant amount of proposal activity in petrochemical, liquefied natural gas and oil and gas projects in the U.S.
“We expect that these will be concentrated along the gulf coast due to the location of carbon resources, the presence of existing infrastructure and the pool of knowledgeable workers,” said Lydotes.
In emerging markets, investments are required in a wide range of infrastructure projects, including electricity generation in India and clean water in South Africa.
Lydotes said, “Several emerging market countries have recently elected leaders whose campaigns included pledges of reform and infrastructure improvements.”

I will preface this by saying that I appreciate your efforts rebuilding the site. It is so much faster and it's good to see it using java now. I run a forum myself and I know how it is trying to work on them for free.
Anyways, I have lost my post several times (including, perhaps ironically, this one) b/c I pause and do some 'work' and come back to finish my post. Click submit, and poof, I get a login screen, whats more the back button yields a blank text area.
This is very frustrating b/c naturally it occurs when I have written a long post with lots of code and I lose it all.
Seriously though, thanks for the site and keep up the good work!

Direxion Investments has launched three leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which seek to achieve 200 per cent of the daily performance of their respective benchmarks, and have a net expense ratio of 0.60 per cent.
The new ETFs are:
Direxion Daily 7-10 Year Treasury Bull 2X Shares (SYTL)
Direxion Daily Small Cap Bull 2X Shares (SMLL)
Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bull 2X Shares (MDLL)
"Investors continue to share with us that they are looking for a wider selection of strategies to obtain targeted, leveraged equity-market exposure at a reasonable price, and we are responding to their feedback," says Brian Jacobs, president of Direxion Investments. "These three ETFs are part of our effort to build up our suite of 2X leveraged funds and provide as many options as possible for experienced traders to achieve risk-managed returns regardless of market conditions, or their preferred amount of leverage."
Direxion launched the Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bull 2X Shares (SPUU), on 28 May. The ETF seeks to obtain 200 per cent of the daily performance of the S&P 500 Index, and includes a net expense ratio of 0.60 per cent.
Like all leveraged ETFs, these Direxion products are intended only for traders with an in-depth understanding of the risks associated with seeking leveraged investment results, and who plan to actively monitor and manage their positions.
"We take input from our clients very seriously, and we will continue to develop innovative and cost-efficient alternative strategies that meet their needs," says Jacobs. "Leveraged ETFs can be extremely effective tools for those who take the time to understand their associated risks. We are always on the lookout for ways to maximize the selection of leveraged ETFs and other solutions that challenge old standards."

A recent survey by YouGov indicated a favorable view of socialism by the so-called Millennial generation, those aged younger than 30.
According to the National Center for Fathering (NCF) a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization created in 1990 in response to the incredible social and economic impact of fatherlessness in America, as of 2010, a third of children live in a home without their biological father. The number climbs when narrowed to students in grades first through 12th to 39 percent according to a 2001 study.
The breakdown among race shows even more disparity as more than 57 percent of black children don’t have their father, more than 31 percent of Hispanics kids and nearly 21 percent of white youth according to the U.S. Census Bureau from 2012.
So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that in a January 2016 survey 43 percent of the population under 30 want Socialism which explains the rise of Bernie Sanders, the socialist senator from Vermont who made a surprisingly true run for President of the United States. A country founded on individual resolve.
Children need a father. More than that, children want a father and they’ll look anywhere and at anybody to get it if they can’t find it at home. Some righteously find a heavenly Father, others lean on a trusted older male(s) and the rest apparently find Father Government.
Bernie Sanders promised safety, financial security and in many respects a love that’s been missing in so many lives under 30. Parents can attest, despite how their kids act, that children indeed want boundaries. The longer the leash, the more they stray. That’s why discipline works. Without a father, so many seem like anchorless ships without a captain floating through life looking for a way to get grounded and on to shore. After years of ineptitude, it makes perfect sense that the first tugboat to promise a push towards land, even though it’s nowhere near home, is immediately latched on to for the free ride.
The Bernie Sanders model of fatherhood comes in the form of a government offering an all-expenses paid trip through life. As such, he’s also providing what so many of today’s children sorely lack – a parent. Or in the case of children stuck in adult bodies – a ride home. Thus the paternal view of government, an institution that provides for and takes care of your everyday basic needs, gets embraced by those who did not get what should have been provided in the home, by mom and dad.
What’s more, and this I can speak from experience, is the lack of fathers in households where Dad existed. Too many of the remaining fathers who indeed lived at home opted for friendship rather than as strong male role model. A father is indeed best suited as a role model to his child not the part of best friend. Perhaps the “friendship” is allowed once adulthood is reached but a youngster who sees Dad as a buddy and not a man who demands respects, might as well be a child without a father.
That child too, eventually looks for a father because his father at home failed to be one. He had a friend but no one to tell him how to live and how the real world works. Kids are smart, sooner or later they figure out, I need help.
So, if their friend, who is married to their Mom, continually fails them, then all that’s left are the other actual friends their own age, who have no answers and worse, no wisdom from their years of inexperience.
Enter Grandpa Sanders.
If America falls into the pit of slavery called Socialism then we are to blame. You know, Generation X. The parents of the Millennials. A generation of parents who apparently felt the hardline tactics of their parents was too much for their own children. And sadly, for 33 percent of us, we’re also a generation of parents who decided children were mere objects of inspiration or at least ejaculation.
Across generational lines, most parents tend to treat their kids fairly and rightfully so. But today’s parents failed to teach tomorrow’s adults that life isn’t fair and no, everyone is not equal. There are rich people and poor people. Introverts and extroverts. The driven and lazy. Winners and losers.
Thus that “fairness” in the home leached into the real world turning the real world into a faux world. Then, an appalled generation of kids set adrift by their parents, left to their teachers’ devices, long for a solution to a void they don’t understand.
So they embrace the first person who says “(I’m from the government and) I’m here to help.”

Molly here, welcome to the live right webpage where I will lay out more about what I do, how and why.
My career started in beauty therapy and I quickly realised that I wanted to develop my role into more of a health coaching and then lifestyle coaching position, as beauty infiltrates all areas of a person's wellbeing - and it means so much to me that people feel their best!
Literally, I have always said that if everyone had massages regularly we would be closer to world peace!
So pulling together beauty therapy, relaxation, nutrition, work, ethics, mindset and business practice, I present to you, the live right concept.
The page is ever evolving so feel free to reach out to me directly if there is something specific you'd like to learn more about.

With the country’s declining real estate market, a home seller can easily sell a house if they lower the price. But for others who can’t afford to lower their asking price, it is best to find other ways to make their home more attractive.
Real estate agents are familiar with the trends in the industry. They are also very knowledgeable about selling homes and choosing the right homes. For this reason, we have come up with a list of house selling tips from successful real estate agents.
Make The House Stand Out from The Competition
It is very important for the property to attract potential buyers. Home sellers should consider custom designs or adding a few design touches, such as improving the landscape or updating the roof and windows. These simple touches can have a significant impact on improving the home’s aesthetics. It is important to avoid over-improving the house. For instance, renovating the bathroom and kitchen may not always pay.
Clean The Clutter
Before listing the property in the market, it is crucial to first clean the clutter from the home. Clutter will turn off potential buyers because they cannot picture themselves living in the house. As a tip, consider removing a few unnecessary furniture pieces to make space look bigger. You should also keep family pictures and other personal items in storage so that potential buyers can imagine themselves staying in the house.
Staging the house is very important. You may want to hire a professional for the job. This may cost additional expense but it will be worth it. Real estate agents believe that a professional stager can make the home more attractive and salable.
The Price Is Right
No matter how you stage your house or how much space you renovated, it is very important to price the property appropriately. An agent can help you determine the right price for your property. You can also hire a property appraiser for the job. It doesn’t matter whether you are offering the lowest price in the neighborhood, especially if your home is very appealing and if you have made significant improvements to your home. It is important, however, that the listing price will not be so far-fetched as the other comparable homes in the market.
Selling a house in a slow real estate market will require patience and perseverance. Make sure that the house is in good condition and hire a credible agent to help you sell the house faster. Following these tips will help increase your chances of getting a good deal for your property.

Wayzata, MN and Hamburg, Germany (June 8, 2021) — Cargill and HELM are entering into a joint venture, Qore, to help leading brands replace fossil-based chemistries with bio-based intermediates, enabling them to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. As part of the agreement, both companies are investing a combined $300M to build the first commercial-scale, renewable BDO facility in the U.S. Bio-based intermediates give the apparel, automotive, electronics and packaging industries the ability to improve their environmental footprint without sacrificing product performance or altering their existing downstream manufacturing processes.
“With consumers demanding more sustainable products, brands are not only looking for more innovative, environmentally-friendly solutions but also are needing supplier capabilities and resources that can consistently meet those expectations,” said Jill Zullo, Vice President, Biointermediates/Bioindustrial at Cargill. “This new venture combines Cargill’s end-to-end supply chain and long-standing, successful product commercialization in several bioindustrial markets with HELM’s expertise in effectively bringing unique chemical applications and other creative solutions to life and to the market.”
The Qore joint venture will focus on producing QIRA™, the next-generation 1,4-butanediol (BDO). Made biologically through the fermentation of plant-based sugars, QIRA can save up to 93 percent of greenhouse gas emissions when replacing today’s widely used chemical intermediates made from traditional fossil sources. QIRA can be used the same way as its chemical counterpart but with significantly better environmental performance. For example, QIRA can be used for making spandex and other polyester-based chemical fibers as well as biodegradable plastics, polyurethane coatings, sealants and artificial leathers, thereby improving their environmental footprint.
“For HELM Chemicals, this joint venture marks an important milestone in our commitment to providing solutions for a successful transformation to a sustainable planet and society. Through partnership and collaboration with brand owners and their suppliers, we will bring sustainable product options to these consumer-driven industries that will not only help them differentiate their brands but also create a more environmentally responsible future,” said Axel Viering, Member of the Executive Board for Business Line Chemicals at HELM.
Cargill and HELM plan to build the bio-based intermediate production facility at Cargill’s existing biotechnology campus and corn refining operation in Eddyville, Iowa. The plant will be completed and operating in 2024 to meet the demanding specification of product supply chains.
Qore has licensed Genomatica’s BDO process technology and is using Cargill’s global feedstock supply and fermentation manufacturing expertise to initially produce and distribute an expected 65,000 metric tons per year minimally of its first bio-intermediate, QIRA. HELM will work with brand owners, original equipment manufacturers and their suppliers to incorporate QIRA into their respective products.

Delivering a Cat A fitout to an iconic London building.
- Cat A fit out and refurbishment project
- Extensive demolition works
- Safe working throughout Covid-19
- Creation of a biodiversity wall
View towards the City from Riverside House
In December 2020 our Interiors business handed over the £30m Riverside House project in London.
Built in the 1960s, Riverside House is a huge London landmark on the River Thames thanks to its distinctive 'sail' which was added during a renovation in 2002. Twenty years later, owner Chiswick High employed our team to upgrade it a second time, adding extra floor space and making changes internally – with several tenants, including watchdog Ofcom, remaining in situ throughout.
Working in a live environment, the Cat A fit out and refurbishment project included the demolition of existing cladding, balconies and parapets before building on the extra floor space and installing new curtain walling. Internally, floors 5 to 8 gained additional space by infilling an existing atrium and adding a rear extension to levels 6 and 7.
Working safely during Covid-19
Our team behind the Riverside House transformation
The project started in June 2019 and reaching practical completion in December 2020. With this timeframe, the site team were required to embrace the Construction Leadership Council’s Site Operating Procedures from March 2020 to implement Covid-19 safe working requirements.
2020 started well with completion of the demolition works to remove curtain walling, parapets and balconies on levels 8, 9, 10 and 11. By the end of February, a shiny new reception area complete with co-working lounge, was ready on the bridge level, and the first phase of lift refurbishment complete.
In March, the impending pandemic meant re-adjusting everything on site to ensure the project could be built safely, with social distancing in place. Construction manager Jocelyn Whittaker-Smith explained.
“We talked with everyone on site to reiterate that we didn’t want anybody to feel uncomfortable. We talked a lot about health and safety and managing the site in a new way during the pandemic.”
Covid-19 meant a change in the way the wider project team worked together. That saw Interior’s commercial team work from home alongside the customer, the customer’s project manager, building agent and designers.
Two of Jocelyn’s team whose spouses were working shifts in the NHS worked from home a couple of days each week, while taking responsibility for their children. “We’ve learnt to be more open about different ways of working, not just to say ‘no’,” says Jocelyn. “Now flexible work is the norm. That’s a big step forward.”
Other measures to keep things running included specialist deep cleans, sanitation stations, one way systems and reallocating all roles that could be performed from home were undertaken to reduce the impact of the virus. The team also prioritised work working around the materials they had available after some suppliers closed during the Spring.
Jocelyn and her team achieved Practical Completion on 1 December, slightly after the planned date owing to delays to material deliveries and high winds stopping tower cranes, which led to an extension of time.
Jocelyn concludes, “Throughout the build, our customer has appreciated our resilience and dedication to delivering the project during the pandemic.”

It doesn’t seem like long ago that Ty Wigginton was the Orioles lone All-Star in a season in which the O’s entered the break with a 29-59 record. That’s probably because it was only three years ago. Despite sitting in third place in the AL East, life is pretty good as an O’s fan in 2013. Our beloved Birds are 53-43 and have sent five representatives to Citi Field in New York for the mid-summer classic.
I never would have believed you if you told me back in the summer of 2010 that the O’s would take over the All-Star game in just three seasons, but lo and behold here we are. Chris Davis, J.J. Hardy and Adam Jones will start for the American League, while Manny Machado will back up the defending Triple Crown winner, Miguel Cabrera, at third base and Chris Tillman will provide relief for skipper Jim Leyland.
Monday night, fans watched as the league’s leader in homers took a crack at his first Home Run Derby. Davis advanced to the second round with eight long balls and then was eliminated after hitting four and opening a callous on his right hand. The Orioles first baseman has been the top story of the first half grabbing headlines nationally for his breakout season. Davis has seven more home runs than the aforementioned Cabrera, leads the league with a .717 slugging percentage and has hit more extra-base hits than singles this season (64 XBH, 44 1B). He’ll bat cleanup ahead of Toronto’s Jose Bautista.
Adam Jones enters the All-Star break having homered in three consecutive games. After a difficult June, Jones is batting .327/.389/.612 with four homers and 10 RBI in 13 games in July. He leads centerfielders in home runs at the All-Star break (19), hits (117) and RBI (67). He’s also become one of the Orioles most clutch hitters, batting .329/.353/.491 with runners in scoring position. Jones will hit seventh behind David Ortiz and ahead of Joe Mauer.
Then there’s J.J. Hardy, who seems to make the difficult plays look routine at shortstop. Hardy has helped the Orioles turn 69 of their 100 double plays this season and has posted a .982 fielding percentage in the first 96 games of the season. At the dish, Hardy earned his starting spot in the All-Star game with a .324/.364/.520 slashline in June. He’ll hit ninth today for the American League.
On the bench is one of baseball’s top young phenoms, a name that Orioles fans hope and expect the league to be talking about for years to come, third baseman Manny Machado. The 21 year old is just four hits behind Miguel Cabrera for the league lead (132) and continues to stand atop baseball in the doubles category with 39. In his first full season in the Majors, Machado also leads the O’s in triples (3) and has made more web gems than any player in the game.
Chris Tillman was a late addition to the All-Star roster, replacing Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander who was ineligible to pitch after starting on Sunday. Tillman is 11-3 with a 3.95 ERA and 2.17 K/BB over 19 starts this season. In June, Tillman was 6-0 with a 2.38 ERA and held opponents to a .206 batting average against. The Orioles have been victorious in 14 of Tillman’s 19 starts this season.
It’s hard to reflect on the 2013 Orioles and avoid comparing them to the counterparts from a season ago. Through their first 96 games in 2012, the Orioles were 51-45. July was their only losing month of the season (13-14), but they rolled in August (18-9) and September (19-9). With Wei-Yin Chen returning to the rotation, the addition of Scott Feldman and the continued success of starting lineup, I’m sure Buck Showalter is expecting similar results this season.
What a great time to be an Orioles fan.

As part of its strategy to step up – and reinforce – production resources for the best-selling A320 Family, Airbus announced two developments in January. These steps will enable Airbus to increase flexibility, while also ensuring that production capacity for the longest-fuselage A321 version meets market demand.
At the company’s U.S. Manufacturing Facility in Mobile, Alabama, Airbus will increase the A320 Family production rate to seven aircraft per month by the beginning of 2021. This increase – along with continued recruiting for the manufacturing team that supports production of the smaller single-aisle A220 jetliner at Mobile – will result in a further 275 jobs added at the Alabama-based facility during 2020.
In Europe, Airbus has decided to create new production capabilities at its site in Toulouse, France, providing more flexibility for the production of A321 versions – driven in part by the popularity of the Long Range (LR) and Xtra Long Range (XLR) derivatives. This will involve the establishment of a digitally-enabled A321 final assembly line in the Lagardère facility at Toulouse (which serves as the site for assembly of double-deck A380s).
Toulouse is home to the original A320 Family final assembly line, with aircraft built at this location in southwest France since the 1980s. In response to the A320 product line’s global success, additional final assembly lines were subsequently established by Airbus at Hamburg, Germany; Tianjin, China; and in the U.S. at Mobile, Alabama. Currently, A321 versions are built at Hamburg and Mobile.

[Musicxml Export] - Clef with octave change not exported
The attached is my test of clef braille conversion. Unfortunately, the first G8va clef is exported as a common G clef, without the clef-octave-change 1 tag. The Musicxml ile is my edit of the correct clef. If the clef is a 15ma or 22ma, the value will be 2 and 3, and down should be negative values.
