Ovarian Cancer from Beyond the Ovary: Perspectives on Science, Clinical Progress and Advocacy
"I don't believe we can maximize our impact on ovarian cancer without embracing opportunities in other gynecologic cancers."
Dr. David Huntsman
David Huntsman, MD, FRCPC, FCCMG, understands the field of ovarian cancer research. He is the Scientific Director and Co-Founder of OVCARE, which is now part of British Columbia's Gynecologic Cancer Initiative. He works with the British Columbia Cancer Agency, Vancouver General Hospital, and is a Professor and the Canada Research Chair in Molecular and Genomic Pathology at the University of British Columbia. And he feels strongly there is much progress to be made in ovarian cancer research and treatment if we look beyond the ovary.
Dr. Huntsman was drawn to the field of ovarian cancer by the "horribly low" survival rates of the disease, which have not seen much improvement in recent years. "There's been some uptick," he said when he spoke at OCRA's Ovarian Cancer National Conference in September 2022, "but we're not where we need to be. We need to do better."
In his remarks at the Conference, he reminisced back to the year 2000, when the Division Head of Gynecologic Oncology in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at UBC, Dr. Dianne Miller, "called a meeting and said she was just sick of seeing women die of this cancer, and maybe if we work together, we could do something about it." So they joined forces, sharing information about prevention, diagnosis, treatment and survivorship, and founded OVCARE, a multidisciplinary team that included researchers, pathologists, geneticists, epidemiologists, and gynecologic surgeons from multiple institutions.
They soon discovered that ovarian cancer subtypes were not recognized, and so all were treated and studied the same way. "The classification system used by pathologists, like myself, did not work," Dr. Huntsman said, and this led to very little progress.
He and his team worked to crystallize how they classified ovarian cancer, and were able to show both in research and in practice that the subtypes of ovarian cancer are essentially different diseases. For example, Dr. Huntsman points out that clear cell ovarian cancer, from a histotype perspective (meaning, looking at the tissues that arise during the growth of a tumor) actually has a lot more in common with kidney cancer than any other ovarian cancer.
"Every way that you can define distinct diseases – etiology, precursor lesions, molecular characteristics, presentation, clinical course, biomarker profiles, response to therapy – shows that ovarian cancers are different," said Dr. Huntsman. "Our team coalesced around the idea that if these are different diseases, we need to treat them that way clinically and in the lab. This was a shift."
They continued further, digging into the histotypes using next generation sequencing, uncovering key mutations in multiple types of ovarian cancer. They understood that each type had its own "journey" – traveling in and through different environments within the body. With this understanding, it became absolutely clear that the fallopian tubes and uterus were essential parts of ovarian cancer research.
"We can't just stick with the ovaries. It doesn't tell us what we need to know. We have to be outside the ovary to understand what's going on inside the ovary," Dr. Huntsman said, explaining OVCARE's change from being just an ovarian cancer focused team to a much broader initiative – The Gynecologic Cancer Initiative. They needed to study normal and abnormal fallopian tube and uterine tissue in order to understand ovarian cancer. And it's the same community. Patients with various gynecologic cancers – cervix, uterine, ovarian, fallopian – are all meeting in the same clinics, being treated by the same doctors. There is complementary expertise that can be brought into the ovarian cancer space.
They came up with a singular goal: if they put together everything they do in terms of prevention, diagnosis, management, and survivorship, they thought they could decrease death and suffering from gynecologic cancers by 50%. "I find this absolutely motivating," Dr. Huntsman said.
"I want to give a shout out and thank the fallopian tubes!"
They built out their team – "It was a huge joy to recruit researchers with different skill sets," – and began looking at all gynecologic cancers. As they dug through reports, they found a paper that had come out in Holland in 2001: when scientists studied the tissues of women who had undergone prophylactic salpingectomy and oophorectomy (the removal of fallopian tubes and ovaries, respectively), they realized that very little was going on in the ovaries. But the fallopian tubes showed signs of early cancer. These precursor lesions we now know lead to high grade serous tumors. These lesions arise on the tips of the fallopian tubes and then shed into the peritoneal cavity. Understanding this phenomenon led to doctors encouraging their patients with a BRCA mutation to undergo bilateral salpingectomy as a preventative measure for ovarian cancer. Dr. Miller took it a step further.
"Dianne Miller was an incredibly imaginative individual," said Dr. Huntsman, "and said 'let's look at the general population, the 80% of women who don't have BRCA mutations.' She posited that if we remove the fallopian tubes at the time of hysterectomy or tubal ligation, we would prevent a large portion of HGSOC, and also clear cell and endometrial carcinomas that flow through the fallopian tubes as endometriosis before they become cancers of the ovary."
This notion of removing fallopian tubes during a hysterectomy, or in place of a tubal ligation, is known as opportunistic salpingectomy, and Dr. Huntsman and his team believed that if doctors built this into their practice, they could reduce the incidence of ovarian cancer up to 30%. They felt that this was a safe procedure and advocated within the ovarian cancer community to adopt this surgery.
Thanks to their efforts and education, the practice in British Columbia changed: In 2008, 99.7% of patients opting for tubal ligations had their tubes tied while only .3-4% chose salpingectomies, whereas by 2017, 25% of those procedures were tubal ligations and 75% were bilateral salpingectomies. Over time, studies showed that opportunistic salpingectomy for the prevention of ovarian cancer works and is safe. There were no increases in blood transfusions or hospital stays, and more recently, it was shown that there was no change in menopausal symptoms or treatments.
Retrospective studies hinted that salpingectomies reduced the cases of ovarian cancer. And in 2022, a study in JAMA Open Network compared data between women who had hysterectomies but kept their fallopian tubes, or who had their tubes tied, and those who had opportunistic salpingectomies (their fallopian tubes removed.) The difference between expected cancers and observed cancers was significant. And the medical community believes the numbers will only keep growing farther apart as these women age.
Dr. Huntsman believes this knowledge, and change in practice, is one of "the most important things to happen in the ovarian cancer space in the last 25 years."
"Meanwhile, over to the uterus."
When scientists discovered a classification system of ovarian cancer that worked, and accurate diagnoses could be made based on molecular analysis, the same was not true of uterine carcinoma. "The best pathologists in the world couldn't agree [on classifying uterine cancer]," said Dr. Huntsman. "There was no solid platform to build from." This led to an imprecise estimation of risk of recurrence and randomly selected treatment for patients. "It was overtreatment for some and under treatment for others," he said."It was a depressing position."
But that began to change in 2013. A paper came out that showed endometrial cancer could be classified into four groups, each with different features, based on molecular data. With sequencing of the tumor biopsies, it could be possible to sort these cases and thus treat patients properly. Since that time, numerous studies have set out to determine the effectiveness of this classification and pave a new way forward.
How does this relate to ovarian cancer? Clear cell and endometrioid ovarian cancers come from the endometrium, or uterine tissue, and these represent 20% of ovarian cancer cases in North America. The same classification system for uterine cancer has been found to work just as well for endometrioid ovarian cancer, and this helps tailor treatment more effectively. Furthermore, patients with this type of ovarian cancer can be connected with uterine cancer clinical trials.
"Bringing these diseases together has great benefits," Dr. Huntsman said, "not just for those with other gynecologic cancers, but also for those with ovarian cancer."
Dr. Huntsman reiterated that effective ovarian cancer research requires consideration of the fallopian tubes and endometrium. "Some ovarian cancers are actually endometrial cancers in the wrong place, and should be studied and treated as such."
Going beyond research to advocacy, Dr. Huntsman noted that uterine cancer is more common than ovarian cancer, but those patients do not benefit from the same degree of advocacy. He feels that a broader gynecologic cancer educational effort may be more impactful than the piecemeal approach that is taken currently. And this joined effort could be better aligned with professional practice groups, organizations and clinics.
"We need to think outside the box," Dr. Huntsman concluded, "to help future ovarian cancer patients, and maybe prevent people from becoming ovarian cancer patients at all."

'This Is Not America's Finest Hour': Madonna Flees to Portugal to 'Escape' Trump
Madonna revealed in a recent interview that one reason she moved from Manhattan to Portugal with her four of her six adopted children was because they "needed a change," after the 2016 election.
"I wanted to get out of America for a minute—as you know, this is not America's finest hour," Madonna told Vogue Italia.
The 59-year-old has been very vocal about her disdain for President Trump. Not only has she publicly condemned Trump several times since he took office, while speaking at the Women's March on Washington she said she was "having thoughts about "blowing up the White House."
"I'm angry. Yes, I'm outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House," Madonna said in a profanity-laced tirade against President Trump. "But I know that this won't change anything. We cannot fall into despair." During her performance of "Human Nature," Madonna switched the song's lyrics to include, "Donald Trump, suck a d!ck."
Of course, such language only serves to incite violence. U.S. Secret Service reportedly opened an investigation into the singer for the remark.

Surface roughness is critical in the assessment of surface finish on fluid system components. It affects fluid flow resistance, adsorption/desorption, the build-up of chemicals from a process fluid, corrosion formation, and pressure drop. This white paper explains how surface finish is measured and its importance, including adherence to industry standards and specifications.


When you strike down Medical Cannabis and Blockchain in two different boxes, you may realize that the two subjects sit in two different worlds. However, if you put them in the same box, you will realize that together they may form an important relationship to create a secure flow of data to help in the legality and research of the use of medical cannabis.
The synergy between the two can also be seen how Holland has been ahead of the curve by legalizing medical cannabis decades ago and has also been one of the early adopters of Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies too.
While blockchain can be used to create a link between one end and the other for cryptocurrencies, it can be also used to create a link between the user of medical cannabis and the supplier. For example, if pharmacy A has sold medical cannabis to person A, the blockchain will create a record online.
Since the link will be transparent, it gives an opportunity to the authorities to study and investigate that medical cannabis is being bought for the right use and stocktaking purposes. It also gives an opportunity for audit companies to create the right strategy to audit medical cannabis suppliers so the right tax is being held by the government and paid by the suppliers.
The links will also help grow the medical research as blockchain uses a hash to determine and keep track of links to give a platform to medical research to monitor and create true statistics about the effect of the medical cannabis its having upon a country healthcare.
With Malta being an opportunity for many blockchain companies to operate in coupled with the latest legislature about medical cannabis being approved by the cabinet, the Medical Cannabis World Forum 2018 will be staged in the Mediterranean Conference Centre, Valletta, Malta on the 20th and 21st of November 2018. During this forum, reputable and esteemed speakers from different technological and auditing sectors will be speaking about how the technology may be used and aid in the use of medical cannabis.


For several months millions around the globe have been focused on a particular solar-lunar-stellar-planetary configuration of the constellation Virgo that appeared in the sky on September 23, 2017, see my post, "What Is Going to Happen on September 23, 2017–A Prediction of My Own!" Expectations ranged from the secret Rapture, the beginnings of the Great Tribulation, to a collision with a mysterious non-existent Planet X called Nibiru (after Zecharia Sitchin's fantasy). From all accounts, Saturday passed, and things moved along "normally" on this side of planet earth–with the latest controversial tweets of President Trump, the aftermath of the recent hurricanes and earthquakes, and a heated up debate on the U.S. health care plans. Those were the stories that filled the Sunday news talk shows and so far as I heard, not a word about any apocalypse.
Maybe we need a "time out" from wild and hysterical apocalyptic predictions and a hard historical look at Revelation 12, the chapter in the book of Revelation, also known as the Apocalypse, that was the focus of all the recent unfounded speculation.
The foci of chapters 12 and 13 in particular, with the Woman who bears the messianic child; the Seven-headed/ten horned Dragon, the Seven-headed/ten horned Beast, and the Two-horned Lamb-like Beast, are clearly understood in the context of the Roman emperor Nero's reign. More broadly these images and ideas are embedded in a series of Jewish traditions and interpretations of the visions of the book of Daniel, dating from the 2nd century BCE through the 1st century CE, see my article, "Ancient Jewish and Early Christian Millennialism" published in the Oxford Handbook Millennialism (ed. Wessinger).
Given this historical background I think we can sort out a few of these images fairly clearly. There are two "portents" or signs in Revelation 12–neither of which should be taken as some configuration of the Greco-Roman zodiac constellations. First the Woman, and second the Dragon.
The Dragon is explicitly identified as "the Devil and Satan" (verse 9), who is thrown to the earth with only a short time left, to persecute the woman and her "offspring." It is this Dragon that subsequently "possesses" the Beast–clearly the military/political system that persecutes God's people (Rev 13:1-4). When the book of Revelation was written, in all of its layers and editorial stages, this was obviously the Roman Empire.
The Woman, with the crown of Twelve Stars and the Sun at her head, the moon under her feet, is obviously faithful Zion, or the people of Israel–the "mother" of the Messiah who is born (compare Isaiah 66:7-9). The messianic child, destined to rule the nations, is taken up to heaven to escape the Dragon or Satan, understood in the version we have to clearly be Jesus. These are not astrological signs or configurations but apocalyptic characters, just as the dream of Joseph of his rule over his brothers was about future events not astrological signs (Genesis 37:9).
For followers of Jesus, who began to see their own messianic community as a renewed "Israel," the woman's flight into the wilderness for three and a half years, was a reference to their own persecuted community. It is possible that there is a connection here with the tradition that the followers of Jesus fled the city of Jerusalem in 66 CE, four years before its destruction by the Romans in the year 70 CE, see my articles on the flight to Pella in trans-Jordan and its identification as a "Jesus hideout" in the Gospel of John.
For a general overview of this historical interpretation of the book of Revelation in its wider contexts see my article "Why 2K? The Biblical Roots of Millennialism." Nero can be reliably identified as the second "Beast" of Revelation 13:11-18 by his number 666 (or 616 in some manuscripts). In Hebrew, each of the 22 letters of the alphabet has a numerical value. A code called gematria, developed in Jewish apocalyptic and mystical circles, draws connections between two otherwise unrelated words based on the total numerical value of the letters in each word.
Nero's name or title in Hebrew looks like this: נרון קסר or NRON QSR transliterated), meaning Nero Caesar. Taking the value of the Hebrew letters, N=50, R=200, O=6, N=50, Q=100, S=60,R=200, one comes up with the sum of 666. To make this identification of the beast with Nero even more convincing, it should be noted that some Greek manuscripts of Revelation give the number 616 rather than 666—probably due to an alternative spelling of Nero as NRO rather than NRON (666 minus the final N [=50] gives 616).
This 666 number seems also reflected in Nero's name written in Greek as well as a similar system of gematria was also used based on the Greek alphabet. For example, a bit of graffiti at Pompeii reads, "I love her whose number is 545" (letters phi-mu-epsilon in Greek, probably someone's initials). If we write Nero's title in Greek, it looks like this:—νερων καεσαρ or NERON CAESAR. The value of the Greek letters totals 1,332, which seems to lack significance—until one realizes that 1,332 is in fact 666 times 2. The author of Revelation is apparently signaling to the astute reader that Nero is the model of the Antichrist; since he has come and gone, however, a second "Nero" is to come—in his mind, very possibly the emperor Domitian—who will also persecute Christians. It is probably not coincidental that the Roman numerals—I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500)—also add up to 666! Rome and its most wicked emperors seem to be stamped all over these beasts of Revelation 13. In contrast, it was certainly not lost on early Christians that the gematria for the name and title "Jesus Christ" in Greek—IESOUS—adds up to 888, which in this system of thought signifies something beyond seven, or completion.
If one wants to really understand Revelation 12 it must be put back into the last decades of the 1st century CE during the terror filled reigns of Nero, and later Domitian, with the murder of James the brother of Jesus in the year 63 CE, the subsequent slaughter of Christians in Rome, including Paul and Peter, in 64 CE, and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE. Domitian was seen as a "resurrection" of the Beast whose deadly wound was "healed," and his reign inspired the final editing of the book of Revelation as we have it today.

The Gender Wage Gap
Build a Resume
What is the gender wage gap?
While exact statistics vary, it's been shown that when you compare the earnings of all full-time working women in the U.S. to all full-time working U.S. men, women earn 78 cents to every $1 that men earn.
When you break up the stats by race, industry or other factors, the numbers are even more staggering:
> Black women are paid just 64 cents, and Latina women earn 56 cents, for every dollar earned by white men
> Women who work retail sales earn 70 cents to the dollar, and female lawyers earn 83 cents to the dollar
> Women make up 70% of teachers across the country, but female teachers earn 87 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts
Source: American Community Survey
What's causing the wage gap?
The topic of equal pay may seem simple. After all, don't all people deserve to be paid equally for equal work? But it's become controversial over the last few decades. As a result, there is a lot of disagreement about the cause of the gender wage gap in America — and if it even exists at all.
At 78 Cents Project, we focus on statistics and ideas that we have found to be true in our everyday, professional lives.
1. The negotiation gap is real.
Today's female first-time hires negotiate a better offer 24% of the time, while their male counterparts negotiate 42% of the time.
By not negotiating on day one, women could lose tens of thousands of dollars of earning power over the course of their careers — all by the time they walk into their first day on the job.
2. Unconscious hiring bias is real.
Ever felt surprised you didn't get an interview, then wondered if it had anything to do with being named Suzy? This STEM study shows that you aren't crazy... the system is just crazy flawed. The study showed that applicants with overtly female names were not only found to be less competent than their male counterparts, their salary was recommended to be $4,000 less as a result. This is one of just dozens of examples of name bias in the hiring process.
Your age and life stage could also be working against you. 75% of women in this Stanford tech survey said they were asked about their marital or family status in an interview. The implication was clear — employees without children can work longer hours and are preferred across the industry… even though hiring managers aren't technically allowed to discriminate against working mothers.
3. The confidence gap is real.
Many people talk about the ambition gap — which posits that women go into lower-paying fields and are therefore paid less than men — but recent studies show that the ambition gap may need to be re-framed as the confidence gap.
When polling future grads, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University* found that men believe they deserve $80,000 a year after graduation, while female grads believe they deserve $64,000. That's a difference of 20% in perceived value, rate out of the gate.
This confidence seeps into the job application process, too. A Hewlett Packard internal survey showed that women tended to apply for a job when they had 100% of the qualifications, while men often applied when they had just 60% of the job experience it required.
Source: Women Don't Ask, Princeton Press
It's time admit: the wage gap is real, too
For American women, the process of applying for and getting a job can feel like a miserable game of Mario Kart — the minute you navigate past one roadblock, another appears.
Maybe it's a hiring manager who seems to prefer male candidates.
A well-meaning who told you you'd be "lucky" to get the job, leading you to accept the position without negotiating.
A nagging feeling that you would embarrass yourself if you apply for a job above your current experience level.
The roadblocks to employment for American women are real, and they're leading to one clear outcome.
Women in America make just 78 cents for every dollar earned by American men. It's on all of us to end the wage gap. Are you ready to get to work?
78 Cents Project. The start of something big. The end of settling for less.

Granted, when Curly McLain was courting Laurey Williams in the movie, he was wearing a sidearm, as was fitting for the era and the environs. It was the early 1900s on the frontier after all. And Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein stayed true to history by incorporating a fairly accurate portrayal of firearm use at the time. Well, they must be rolling over in their graves now that modern-day producer Eva Price has decided to make a public statement against guns.
But it's OK for her, and her cast and crew to make money off the production of a play in which firearms have a legitimate place?
The Gun Neutral Initiative was announced by Level Forward, a company co-founded by heiress Abigail Disney and Adrienne Baker, last year. It was advanced as a way for Hollywood to make up for the fact that the film industry has been glamorizing gun play for so long. But, is it really? Or is it more likely that it's just a publicity stunt by an industry known for getting its fame carrying out just such stunts as part of its everyday business doings?
We'd think the entertainment industry could find a more authentic approach to negating all the years it has made money depicting the misuse of firearms. As it is, the idea of making a nominal donation to the likes of Michael Bloomberg's gun-control efforts seems more than a little disingenuous.

Harry Davis appointed as first team captain
by Media Staff
@SUFCOfficial
Defender Harry Davis has been confirmed as Scunthorpe United's first team captain ahead of the 2021-22 season.
The 29-year-old, who has made over 300 career appearances, joined the club this summer after leaving Morecambe.
First team manager Neil Cox explained the reasons behind the decision to iFollow Iron.
He said: "He's always been a leader, and he's come into this football club and led by example. He's trained, organised and spoken to everyone really well. I think he's at the right stage of his career for this, and he'll be a good captain for this football club.
"I've been really impressed by what he's brought off the field, but he's also a leader on the pitch who knows when to scream and shout, when it's the right time to talk to people, and also when to pull people aside and help them out.
"He's a leader and that's what we want. While he's captain, everyone else has to lead by example as well, and he starts it off for me."
Davis has skippered the side during a number of the pre-season matches, and the former Crewe youth graduate said: "I'm delighted and really pleased to be named captain. It's a big commitment and I thank the gaffer for giving it to me and trusting me with it.
"I'm looking forward to the role. I have previous experience of it with Crewe, having done it for a few years there, and have stepped in at previous clubs after that as well.
"It's something I really enjoy. I feel it'll get the best out of me, and my job's to get the best out of everyone else as well.
"I will give my all for the football club and try to help us improve on and off the pitch."

Someone is trafficked globally every 30 seconds and, in the UK alone, up to 130,000 people will spend Christmas living in slavery in the UK.
TRIBE for Good - our charitable foundation - is supporting Unseen in Q4 2016, an anti-trafficking charity that works to help prevent trafficking in the UK.
Andrew Wallis, CEO of Unseen UK, explains all about the charity's mission and the projects they are working on. Unseen are working towards a world without Slavery. "It's a big aim and a big task, but we believe we can do it."
We combine a micro and macro approach so that we both support exploited people and tackle the systemic issues of slavery. The expertise and insight gained in each area help us perform effectively across all aspects of our work.
MAP (Men's Anti-Trafficking Project): a 5 bed, 24-hour safe-house for male victims of trafficking.
Modern Slavery Helpline and Resource Centre: Providing victims, the public, statutory agencies and businesses access to information and support on a 24/7 basis.
TISC Report: Unseen have partnered with Semantrica to deliver a Central Registry for business transparency statements www.tiscreport.org. The Central Registry provides consumers, the public and investors with one central point to access transparency statements and understand the steps businesses are taking to prevent modern slavery in their supply chains and own organisations.
We hope that one day our work is no longer needed. That by working in partnership with communities, business, governments and other organisations we can stamp out slavery for good. But while there are victims of trafficking, we want to be here to offer them the safety, hope and choice they deserve.
We are bringing the TRIBE community together once again this Christmas to rejoin the fight against human trafficking. TRIBE is organising a series of nationwide TRIBE Freedom Runs in December, where the TRIBE community will be running for a world free from slavery. We hope all runners will join a team fundraising effort to raise £10,000 for Unseen.


In order to assess IT spending priorities over the next 12-18 months, ESG recently surveyed 641 IT professionals representing midmarket (100 to 999 employees) and enterprise-class (1,000 employees or more) organizations in North America and Western Europe. All respondents were personally responsible for or familiar with their organizations' 2016 IT spending as well as their 2017 IT budget and spending plans at either an entire organization level or at a business unit/division/branch level.
IT spending for cybersecurity products and services continues to accelerate in 2017 as business and IT executives grapple with the dangerous threat landscape, compounded by the increasing use of cloud services that expand the attack surface area. Nevertheless, the fact that cybersecurity is once again a top business priority clearly indicates that organizations intend to spend to protect themselves from risk and compromise.
xMatters recently introduced a new integration platform that connects its xMatters platform to partners via API integration. This broadens xMatters' usefulness by enabling customers to integrate their ITSM processes with their DevOps and agile processes. The solution also enables interaction with xMatters within systems where people naturally spend their time—such as on Slack, HipChat, and Salesforce—which creates the right situational context for communication. To make these integrations succeed in practice, xMatters ought to roll out as many templates or cookbooks as possible, perhaps written as design guides or validated designs, to demonstrate the best practices for augmenting its existing prepackaged communication plans.

Showing off tile's versatility and style, 20 members of Tile Council of North America, Inc. (TCNA) generously donated unique, handcrafted tiled doghouses to the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando at Coverings 2019 in Orlando, FL.
The participating companies included: AlysEdwards Tile & Stone, American Glass Mosaics, American Wonder Porcelain, Anthology, ARTO Brick & Tile, Casa Ceramica, Crossville, Del Conca USA, Florida Tile, International Wholesale Tile, Julian Glass, Lilywork Artisan Tile, Lunada Bay Tile, M2 Innovative Concepts, Marazzi, Marble Systems, Portobello America, Syzygy Tile, Tile By Design, and Vitromex.
The forms used to make these doghouses were custom manufactured by Wedi Corp. and contributed by Wedi and TCNA.
During the show these one-of-a-kind, handmade creations were on display in the TCNA Art Tile Courtyard and TCNA's booth, where attendees could see the craftsmanship firsthand and meet furry friends from the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando.
A donation ceremony was held in the TCNA Art Tile Courtyard at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday, April 11th.
The following descriptions were provided by the companies/artists who tiled the doghouses.
Mon Ami Paris! From bistros and cafes to museums and gardens, stroll with us as we explore the best Paris has to offer. With our tres chic doghouse, we've tried to capture all the favorite spots, both new and old, to sit, sip, relax and enjoy Parisian life. Windows framed with CarBONE liners create Louvre-ly Reflections for any pup peaking in. Don't worry if you have a Pebble Without a Cause; our house comes complete with Lime-olicious gl-rrrass! A romantic energy mixed with an urban-chic aesthetic can invigorate even the weary while they enjoy the local culture, sights and sounds. Eiffel For You, and AlysEdwards has left her signature stamp of approval because every pup deserves a kiss!
The theme of American Glass Mosaics' doghouse is Northern Blends, as their tiles are manufactured "up North" in Michigan; the roof tile is from their Superior Collection "Northern Blend;" and they wanted to honor the president/CEO's dog, which is a Lab and Poodle blend.
The designer/installer was Carlo Pozzobon.
It's a dream dog cabin!
American Wonder Porcelain's doghouse features the beautiful, rustic, wood-look tile series Luna Orchard PorcelainTM. Cut pieces of 6″ x 36″ are featured in Mist LN02 on the front and sides and Shadow LN05 on the roof. This cozy dog cabin, with decorative touches like flowers adorning its entrance, is ready for an eager pup!
Anthology tile wanted to create a very special doghouse, so they used their Euphoria collection, which has a beautiful reflective glass, and Monet magic glass roof tiles, which complete this masterpiece. The true-blue color is associated with dogs and loyalty. Molded glass raindrops fall on the roof, as this house will shelter precious puppies from the rain.
The doghouse was designed by Suzi Portugal, an absolute dog lover herself, and happily completed and executed by Anthology's team. This doghouse is a gift from Anthology tile given with their love of tile and dogs.
ARTO, known for handcrafted tiles made in California, has created this rustically elegant doghouse. The outside walls are cladded with grooved concrete terrazzo tiles, which surround the custom, hand-painted "Happy Dog" tile on the back wall. The roof is tiled with 8″ black diamond ceramic fish scale tiles. The back inside wall displays ARTO's ornate 8″ hand-painted Kaleidoscope tiles, and the floor is covered with 4″ timeworn Sirocco black ceramic tiles. This doghouse was made completely by hand and with love by the people at ARTO.
Casa Ceramica's doghouse was designed and installed by its in-house design and installation team. Their Spanish-inspired doghouse design features tiles and trim pieces from their Mediterranean and Palacio tile collections. The bones were made locally in Florida by the same artist who produces Casa Ceramica's custom tiles.
Crossville's tiled doghouse features some leading trends in tile design.
The walls are made with Crossville's yet-to-be-released Alaska collection. The terrazzo-look tiles have mitered edges and create the appearance of a continuous piece of terrazzo. Waterjet-cut dog figures, inspired by the works of MC Escher, are crafted in the Basalt collection and placed as accents on the doghouse's sides. The rooftop is made of the popular Sideview glass mosaics in a matte silver finish, adding dimension and a touch of glam.
Crossville's Tradeshow Manager, Earl Randolph, developed the design for this project.
Del Conca USA's doghouse showcases 32″ x 71″ Pandora Gray (roof), 3″ x 16″ Gray and White Kensington (exterior), and 8″ x 8″ Havana Gables on the interior.
The doghouse was designed and installed by Brad Crowder of Crowder Tile.
Florida Tile created a puppy home that will be a place of possibility and comfort for its future "fur baby" resident.
The exterior walls are tiled with LocalHDP that features a look of weathered, painted wood. It beautifully accomplishes the goal of giving this special space a feel of warmth and belonging.
The home's roof is completed with AventisHDP THINNER, a 3.5 mm tile that is elegant and light, yet durable.
International Wholesale Tile's doghouse showcases Inspire by Tesoro and newly launched collections, Scales and Urbano, along with Tesoro's new company mascot, Argento!
Julian Glass' doghouse features multicolored, multi-textured large glass tiles with an ocean coral theme.
Here's a ready-made, beachy pad for the water-loving pooch. This doghouse has a Zen-bohemian feel that takes us on an epic wave of design. The house entrance and sides features Tide Dye, a new design in the soon-to-be-launched concrete series for Tommy Bahama by Lunada Bay Tile.
Accenting the roof is a sneak peek of Silhouette, an exciting addition to their ocean-inspired Shinju ceramic collection. Alternating rows of linen-textured concrete liners add to the roof's varying colors and textures, making this the place all the friends and family want to come to play. Cowabunga!
M2 Innovative Concepts' doghouse features a camouflage effect, and the tessellated dog pattern is water jet-cut.
The self-cleaning surfaces are comprised of products that use Hydrophilic Tile technology. The porcelain tiles have titanium dioxide fired insolubly and permanently into their surface. This triggers a reaction activated by light, oxygen, and humidity and sheets dirt off the surface, kills germs and bacteria on contact, and eliminates odors!
The Marazzi and American Olean brands teamed up to produce a custom tiled doghouse that showcases the distinct personality of each brand and provides some lucky dog with a house that is the epitome of on-trend style and fun. The result is a wonderfully eclectic house for Fido that artistically combines Marazzi's bold, Italian styling with the clean lines and soft colors of American Olean.
The roof is covered in Marazzi's new encaustic-look tile (Marazzi's D_Segni Color Collection – Honeycomb), creating a stylish focal point that is both fun and chic.
The bold, over-the-top encaustic design was complemented with a soft, weathered white wood visual on the rest of the house. Covering the four walls of the doghouse is American Olean's Waterwood Collection – White Oak. Inspired by the bricola wood pillars that grace the waterways of Venice, this unique wood-look tile provides the visual softness of authentic waterworn oak wood. To top it all off with a nice, trendy touch, 1-½" hexagon mosaics from the Waterwood Collection were placed on the floor of this little pooch palace.
The doghouse designer was Sarah Morales of Marazzi and American Olean, and the installer was Albert Pena of Mecca Design.
Princess and Max, the official Country Floors pets, wanted a play/guesthouse for their friends' young litters. Sitting in their backyard overlooking Coopers Beach in their Hamptons summer house, the brother and sister design duo wanted a smaller version of their 1920's colonial style cottage. Max, a devoted fan of the famous wire dancer "Princess Victoria,' commissioned local artist and muralist Jean Laloi to paint a mural replicating a circus poster of the late wire dancer icon on the back wall of their small guest house!
The doghouse was designed by Omar Torres, Country Floors' product and facility designer, and installed by their in-house board production department.
Portobello America's doghouse features a contemporary look, using three product lines: Forest (wood look), NYC (mosaic), and Barcelona (concrete look).
The idea came from architect Andreza Zago.
Syzygy Tile's Cool Blue doghouse was designed by Lori Reyes, mosaic department leader. The doghouse showcases Syzygy's new Rain Drop mosaic in Midnight glaze, as well as their 4″ Koi mosaic in a colorful fade.
Tile By Design specializes in hand-painted and digitally-decorated artisan tile. Their digital division has the ability to print any image, artwork, or design on tile.
They only hope the house's future inhabitant doesn't have any trouble with the PUParazzi!

With so many different things to think about when you are planning a wedding, writing your own vows can get lost in the mix and also be very nerve-wracking. Here are some tips to help you write your vows and be relatively stress free!
1) Write down the things that made you love your spouse. Was it their smile? The way they stood by your side during a difficult time in your life? Their love of life? No matter what it is, write it down and include them in your vows.
2) Share a quote that is meaningful to you. If you have a favorite quote that is meaningful to you and your relationship, use it! If you don't, this is a good time to search for that perfect quote that expresses the love you have for each other. Have fun looking for a quote!
3) What about them inspires you? No matter what it is, we know your spouse will love hearing about how they inspire you. Be vulnerable and share that with them.
4) Share your dreams for the future. We all have dreams and you are celebrating a new chapter in your life. Why not add in a few lines about your dreams for the future. It could be having a family or a trip around the world….or even as simple as looking forward to growing old next to your spouse.
5) Practice reading your vows in front of a friend. Most people find it very difficult to speak in public. Add to that the wedding day jitters, and you've got a recipe for disaster. But, it doesn't have to be. Take the time to practice with a friend or in front of a mirror until you feel comfortable reading them. It will make a big difference for when you say them on your big day.
Let your vows live on long after your wedding day is over! Frame them or have them printed as a keepsake so you can see them often and think of your big day.


A Superb "Fruity Oolong Tea"
Summary : Wow...what else is there to say. A oolong tea that has a nice, fruity yet smooth flavor to it. It's by far one of the best oolong teas I've ever had. If you've never tried an oolong tea before, head over to the Dragonwater Tea Company (now out of business) website and get this tea!
Review : It's nearly 0 degrees outside, which is downright frigid weather here in normally warm and sunny Nevada. I mean...I left Montana to get rid of this type of weather, yet, as I have no luck...the weather has followed me down. Oh well, can't have everything, I guess.
As it is January, and it is cold outside, I found myself in the mood for a "summer tea," or a tea that should help push away the winter blues...at least for a little while. And the first tea that said "summer" all over it was an oolong tea from the Dragonwater Tea Company (now out of business) called Oolong Passion Fruit.
I love passion fruit...it's awesome fruity and sweet flavor. If there ever was a fruit that says SUMMER...it is indeed passion fruit.
Here is the description of this tea as provided by the Dragonwater Tea Company (now out of business) : "Oolong Passion Fruit Tea. A soft Oolong tea blended with aronia berries, mango pieces, rose petals, and a passion fruit punch flavoring."
To be honest, I've only been so-so on other Oolong teas. Particularly straight oolong teas...too many "straight" oolong teas taste too similar to a "straight" black tea for my liking. There are of course some exceptions, but by and large, I've come to prefer "infused oolong teas" over "straight oolong teas."
Which is why, of course, I was quite optimistic about this particular passion fruit oolong tea. Besides having an absolutely terrific aroma straight out of the bag, the fruit pieces in this tea were huge! And large fruit pieces are always a darn good sign!
Once brewed, this tea has a delightful flavor all its own. As one might expect, there is a moderately strong passion fruit flavor to it...making this tea pleasantly sweet. Additionally, the other fruit pieces in it enhance the "fruity" flavor you'll get.
Even better, the tea lacks any sort of bitterness. Period. This tea simply glides right down...pleasing your tongue all the way. And the after-taste...well....let us just say you'll be rewarded with a nice, moderately sweet, fruity after-taste that will just linger and linger.
Overall, if you've never tried an oolong tea before...GET this tea. This is especially true if you like other "fruity teas." About the only people that may be disappointed with this tea are oolong tea purists, or those that don't like "additions" to a tea. Due to all the fruit pieces and the passion punch flavoring that has been added...with this tea you'll find scant resemblence in flavor to more traditional "straight oolong teas."
Recommendation : Absolutely. This oolong tea makes for a perfect introduction to healthy and tasty oolong teas. And if you like "fruit teas" in general...have no fear...you'll like this one. Just beware of the moderately sweet flavor to it. If you don't like "sweet teas," then this tea may not be for you.
Brewing Instructions : Use 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of leaves. Pour 6-7 ounces of water heated to boiling. Let brew for 2-3 minutes.

HIGHLIGHTS / NEWS
Aronofsky's Noah May Have Studios Concerned
Reported by Siân Darling.
Darren Aronofsky's Noah risks creative interference from the stake-holding studios, Paramount and New Regency.
Paramount and New Regency ensured an extended period in post-production aware that a story of religious content could raise controversy. Vice Chairman of Paramount, Rob Moore, stated that Paramount "allowed for a very long post-production period, which allowed for a lot of test screenings."
These said test screenings of Noah have raised alarm to the audiences' responses. The Hollywood Reporter reports that various versions of the biblical tale was screened to test audiences of varying religions that might take the subject matter to heart more than the average Hollywood punter: Jews and Christians namely.
Entertainment Weekly reports that the film was enjoyed in Texas, to a mostly Christian audience, however there is concern that this version of the story is veering away from the biblical basis, and more towards the modern dilemma of environmentalism and activism, making Noah to be a new kind of hero, with a revised value-set and possibly, a revised notion of good and evil. The story from the First Testament is that the floods occurred to wash away evil, and Noah, savior of the species, rescued the worthy.
In 2012, when Noah was in pre-production, screenwriter Brian Godawa focused on the "intersection of Hollywood and the Bible". He reviewed and criticized the script on his blog, declaring that it "will be rejected by millions of devoted Bible readers worldwide because once again it subverts their own sacred narrative with a political agenda of pagan earth religion that is offensive to their faith."
Although undoubtedly confronting for audiences, and perhaps unconventional for studios, Aronofsky's Oscar-nominated direction has led him, and his actors, to acclaim; with Natalie Portman winning an Oscar for her role in Black Swan. Aronofsky undoubtedly wants success for his film, and while his confronting storytelling might have pushed audiences with films such as Requiem for a Dream and The Wrestler, tackling a biblical hero may be pushing sensitive buttons.
While Aronofsky is certainly asserting his creative freedom, Paramount vice-chairman Rob Moore is confident that "they are working it out together." EW has also published a statement from Darren Aronofsky's representative: "This is a long and collaborative process…To comment on anonymous quotes only gives time and space to false rumors and gossip."
Is Aronofsky's rep simply downplaying the issue, or will the director have to sacrifice parts of his film?

Halo: The Master Chief Collection Xbox One X update is here and it's absolutely massive
By Jade King
Gaming Editor
August 28, 2018 12:18 pm BST
Microsoft has finally released the long-awaited Xbox One X update for Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
After almost four years since its rocky launch, the new patch for Master Chief's collection of adventures is arguably its biggest yet.
Every single title in the package has now been enhanced for Xbox One X to operate at 4K Ultra HD with additional HDR support.
It all runs at 60fps, too, although that was in place before this update. This remains the best place to play Halo, and now it's even better if you can stomach the download size.
Related: Upcoming Xbox One Games
However, the price of running the Master Chief Collection at 4K comes at a cost, and that is an update weighing in at 73GB.
It's worth noting that this update implements far more than visual improvements. 343 Industries has detailed menu changes, matchmaking improvements and more over on Halo Waypoint.
Even though it compiles a handful of ageing first-person shooters, 343 Industries appears to have done an excellent job refining the inner workings. Here's what we thought in our 2015 review:
Related: Best Xbox One Games

Thomas Bouquin was born in Lyon (France), and lives and works in Montréal (Québec), where he is currently completing a BA in photography at Concordia University. He is mainly interested by the relationship between man and the landscape, especially how elements such as memory, space and light can influence and modify our perception of these places. His work has been exhibited in the Art Matters Festival 2012, and in the VAV Gallery. Also, he is the co-author of a serie of zines called Montréal-Paris, exhibited in 2012 in DIY: Photographers & Books at the Cleveland Museum of Art, in ABC : MTL at the Canadian Center of Architecture, and are part of different public book collections such as La Chambre Blanche (Québec), and The Maison Européenne de la Photographie (Paris).

Karl Baden's childhood dream was to be an archaeologist. This dream was shattered upon taking his first college archaeology course. In the Fall of 1972, he took a leave from school, hitchhiked across the U.S., and traveled through Central and South America with his father's old Nikon. He has been taking and making photographs ever since. Though Baden has yet to launch his own website, a variety of his projects may be found at the gallery website of his faithful and tolerant dealer, Howard Yezerski and also at Luminous-lint.com and KBeveryday.blogspot.com.

Tabitha Soren was born into a military family and grew up all over the world. Snapshots were one of the few ways she had to remember the details that made up her life in the last town or base — so she took them incessantly and spent many afternoons cataloguing them. She headed to New York for college where she received a BA in Journalism and Politics at New York University. After a career in television news shooting 30 frames a second, Soren decided she wanted to concentrate on one frame at a time and spent a year studying photography at Stanford University. Over the past ten years, her projects have been published in The New York Times Magazine, Canteen, Vanity Fair and New York, among others. Soren's work speaks to the twists of fate in life that can unhinge us. Her pictures address what havoc human beings can survive — and what they can't. Public collections include the Oakland Museum of Art, in California, the New Orleans Museum of Art as well as the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, both in Louisiana. Her Running series debuted at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Indianapolis this summer.

Philip Heying is a photographer living in Lawrence, Kansas. In 1980, he met William S. Burroughs and began a friendship that endured until Burroughs's death in 1997. Burroughs and his circle of friends, from Albert Hoffman and Allen Ginsberg, to Brion Gysin and Timothy Leary provided artistic insight and guidance. Soon after college, curiosity to experience another culture led Heying to France, via coal freighter. Since then his work has been exhibited and published internationally. Heying returned to the U.S. in 1997, settling in Brooklyn, New York, and became an assistant to Irving Penn until the Spring of 2001. In the fall of 2008, he returned from Brooklyn to Kansas to live closer to his family and pursue an idea for a photographic survey that began during a visit in the fall of 2005. He is currently employed as a professor of photography at Johnson County Community College and recently completed a body of photographs of the surprising variety of architecture, cultural and environmental processes to be found within walking distance from his home.

A little shy of a year agowith the world's attention focused on a change of power in North Koreaa photo of Kim Jung Il's funeral, released by KCNA (North Korean Central News Agency), sparked controversy. The image had been manipulatedless for overt political ends, more for visual harmony. Blog Submission . The photo's offending elements, photoshopped from the image, were not political adversaries or top secret information, but a group of photographers who had disturbed the aesthetic order of the highly orchestrated and meticulously planned occasion.
Dec. 28, 2011. A limousine carrying a portrait of late North Korean leader Kim Jong-il leads his funeral procession in Pyongyang.
In an age where seemingly every occasion is documented through photography from every conceivable anglean estimated 380 billion photographs will be taken this year aloneit's not only North Korean bureaucrats who are wrestling to keep hoards of other photographers out of their pictures.
Photographers frequently appear in news photographs made by others. Banks of cameras greet celebrities and public figures at every event; cell phones held high by admirers become a tribute in lights, but a distraction to the viewer. Amateurs and professionals, alike, appear in backgrounds and in foregrounds of images made at both orchestrated events and in more candid moments. squido lense . The once-invisible professional photographer's process has been laid bare.
On occasion, photographers even purposefully make their fellow photographers the subject of their pictures. The most difficult picture to take, it seems, is one without the presence of another photographer either explicitly or implicitly in the frame.
The abundance of camera phones and inexpensive digital cameras has changed the photographic landscape in countless and still-incompletely understood ways, and it's not just the North Korean government trying to find ways around the hoards of photographers making their way into everyone else's shots. Here, TIME looks back on the past year to highlight an increasingly common phenomenon: the photographer in the picture.

The Blue MUGs: New CD | "Fooled 'em again"
New CD | "Fooled 'em again"
The Blue Mugs second CD is now on sale!
Our first CD came out about 2 years ago, and since then the Blue Mountains Ukulele Group, known as the Blue MUGs, have continued to bring ukulele to the world.
We are just as surprised as anybody at the continued growth of the ukulele community and of the MUGs in particular. We now have over 1000 members on our social media site. The Blue Mountains Ukulele Festival (Australia's oldest ukulele festival) has grown from an idea in a pub 5 years ago, to over 50 acts and 5000 visitors. It has taken out prizes at our regional tourism awards 2 years running and is now regarded as an icon of Blue Mountains tourism. Now the Ukulele JAMboree looks to become part of our calendar as well.
One of the delights of the MUGs is the musical growth of its members and of the group as a whole, as you will hear on this recording. Many groups have grown out of the MUGs, each with its own style and energy. The MUGs continue to welcome and develop those new to the ukulele. We love nothing more than seeing our audience turn into ukulele players.
We hope this recording captures some of the fun and energy of the MUGs and that, when you listen to it, you might smile as much as we did when we were making it.
Download it here or contact us for a CD version.


Hailing from Macclesfield, England, The Virginmarys make anthems that scream with all the potent sound and fury of modern punk acts, shot through with the raw honesty of prime British rock of the early 1970s, before the wizards and capes overcame the attack and dynamic.
The UK-based three-piece recently unveiled a staggering new track, "Motherless Land", on Consequence of Sound; the follow-up to "Into Dust", "Motherless Land" bleeds of "no-frills, honest-to-god British rock with an undeniable punk edge", and a video for the track is currently being finalised. The song – as with "Into Dust" – comes from the band's forthcoming studio album, "Divides", due out May 6th, 2016 via Spinefarm Records, their first full-length release for the label.
And now, having just returned from a successful 12-date US tour, The Virginmarys are focusing once again on home turf with two very intimate UK shows (one in Manchester and one in London) to celebrate the release of "Divides".
Full details of these special 'album launch' gigs are below, along with two festival outings including a spot at the first Stone Free Festival at the O2 in London.
Tickets for the headline shows will be available from Friday April 8th @ 10am GMT.

'Fight Club' Has a Totally Different Ending in China
ScreenCrush Staff Published: January 24, 2022
American movies that want to be shown in theaters or on television in China are often subject to censorship (or self-censorship) to ensure they will be approved for Chinese release. Sometimes, this amounts to a few minor trims of language or images. Other time, the changes that have to be made get much more drastic.
Case in point: Observe what Fight Club looks like on the Chinese streaming site Tencent Video. As we all know (or if we don't all know, get ready to know because spoilers for the end of the movie are coming), Fight Club concludes with the unnamed Narrator (played by Edward Norton) realizing that his friend Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) is actually a manifestation of his own brain and a wicked case of dissociative identity disorder. After initially trying to stop Tyler's plot to blow up several buildings containing bank and debt records, the Narrator instead "kills" Tyler and then observes the chaos his alternate personality has wrought.
That's the version in David Fincher's cut of the movie. According to Vice, the version that is legally available in China is completely different, omitting the explosion and instead ending with a title card that reads "Through the clue provided by Tyler, the police rapidly figured out the plan and arrested all the criminals, successfully preventing the bomb from exploding. After the trial, Tyler was sent to a lunatic asylum receiving psychological treatment. He was discharged from the hospital in 2012."
Vice couldn't get an official comment from anyone, including Fight Club's American copyright holders, about who made these changes, but an unnamed source told them it "was edited by the copyright owner and then approved by the government before it was sold to streaming sites for distribution." Wouldn't you love to know what David Fincher thinks of this? Do these sorts of changes have to made with the director's approval?
In America, Fight Club is currently streaming on IMDb TV. The original ending is intact, although you'll have to sit through some commercial breaks to watch it.

ALASTOR SANGUINARY EMBRYO
ALASTOR SANGUINARY EMBRYO "For Satan And The Ruin Of The Divine" /CD/
Код товару: DR 015 CD
The fourth full-length album by Costa Rican Black Metal band.
The new long-awaited album by Symphonic Black Metal masters from Latin America.
This album is a pure manifesto of evil Black Metal art in the vein of early 90-es performed and recorded at a new up-to-date level yet preserving its dark and ominous nature.
Musically this album follows organically from the early works of the band and keeps to the same style. It features fast and furious drum attacks, razor-sharp guitar riffs, venomous morbid Black Metal screaming and keyboard lines which create a background against the solid guitar framework. Each song of the album is full of uncompromising brutality required to deliver a nihilistic message to the listeners in the correct way.
This album is ultimately a really good exemplar of how Symphonic Black Metal should sound if you want a good taste of what the style was originally about, rather than what it's largely become today.
A refreshing blast from the past; it's hard to not enjoy this release as there's such palpable enthusiasm and passion on display here. The songs are just really enjoyable, especially if you were brought up on this kind of thing.
Satanath Records/More Hate Productions/Darzamadicus Records, 2015 (SAT107 / MHP 15-143 / DR 015 CD). Made in Russia. First press.

Our senior wedding photographer Daniel St.Pierre shares it's a fact more than half the brides he worked with over the past 20 years had acne. All the makeup in the world can't mask bumps from pimples that sprouted the night before your wedding. The good news is, Daniel and his team of skilled photo editors are masters at using Adobe Photoshop to make the imperfections go away – like magic!
Because these are likely to be the most important photographs of your life, Daniel and his team fully understand the finished product calls for near perfection. This is why Daniel typically includes minimal photo editing and post-production with each wedding photography package we customize for brides and grooms.
Capturing photographs is hard enough, few photographs are also able to excel at photo editing or post-production as well. However, as Daniel matured as a wedding photographer, he was also busy mastering Photoshop which he's grown to love, and uses daily.
Follow this link to see an example of the amazing photo editing quality included in our packages.
If you're in the market for an experienced wedding photographer with extra-ordinary post-production skills, we invite you to contact us with any question you have about Daniel St.Pierre, any associate or assistant photographer or this website.

The real estate, house foreclosure market crisis began when homeowners became unable to afford their mortgage payments, consequently losing their houses to banks and other financial institutions.
In 2002, risky loans sub-prime mortgages were given to people with low credit scores or bad finances by lenders and banks. Blinded by the opportunity to make easy profits these financial institutions offered low interest rates to attracted these not-so-qualified new homebuyers.
Many of these loans were adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs), which increased interest rates considerably after a year or so, making extremely hard for these buyers to keep up with their mortgage obligations.
The predatory lender practices ultimately created an avalanche of foreclosures in America, leading to the home foreclosure market crisis in early 2007 that lasts until now and with no foreseeable end in the near future.
for an easy buck, found themselves in big trouble when the "bubble bursted" and the market took a nose dive, with houses loosing up to 80 percent of its values.
The good news is that there is a low inventory of homes right now and delinquency rates on newer loans are going down, meaning that a slow recover in the house market is expected in the next few years.
Also, the low prices create an opportunity those who have in recent years been priced out of the market to achieve the dream of home ownership.
Foreclosure is the system that allows a lender to repossess a property from a homeowner in default, and sell it to recover the money due, plus unpaid interest and the costs related to the home foreclosure.
Avoid foreclosure auctions and possibly even short sales if you are a beginner, focus on REO instead.
