BOSTON (April 22, 2013) – As more than 175 nations worldwide gear up to celebrate Earth Day on April 22, Chestnut Hill Realty (CHR), a full-service real estate company specializing in multifamily housing, is celebrating its own contributions to environmentally friendly policy, which span four decades.
CHR's green initiatives include conservation of energy spent on heating, hot water and lighting, water conservation, recycling, and education of residents and staff at its 27 apartment communities. The company's green policies are geared toward cutting fuel consumption and saving natural resources while improving the comfort and quality of life of their residents.
CHR took its first steps toward implementing environmentally sound practices 40 years ago, when the 1973 oil crisis increased America's awareness of the need for energy conservation. The company became a pioneer in its efforts to heat its communities more efficiently and cost-effectively. CHR was a leader in the multifamily field in the 1980s as an early adopter of energy-efficient strategies such as separating domestic hot water from heat production by using smaller boilers in the summer for hot water when heating is not required. They also created separate zones in buildings to better distribute steam heat (by reducing energy expended to heat warmer rooms with southern exposures while adequately heating cooler rooms with northern exposures).
In the 1990s, the company began converting from oil heating to natural gas, which burns more cleanly, at many of its properties. At one Brookline, Mass., property alone, the company estimates that move has saved 5,500 tons of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere over the past 15 years. The company's efforts to conserve energy used in heating and hot water ramped up even further in 2005 when CHR began adding programmable thermostats to units at the communities it owns and manages, as well as adding additional insulation, air sealing and weather stripping for doors and windows, and new computer controls for building boilers.
Earlier this year, with the help of a $435,000 Energy Efficiency Incentive Program grant from utility company National Grid, CHR completed a $2.2 million project to remove and replace 89 older boilers at Hancock Village, which reduced energy consumption by 20 percent and will save 130,000 cubic feet of natural gas per year while producing hot water more efficiently.
CHR also has made important strides in reducing its use of electricity for lighting. Starting in 2000, CHR began replacing incandescent light bulbs with CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) lighting in the common areas at many of its communities, saving 100,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually since then via the move. Starting last year, the company, with the help of incentive grants from utility company NSTAR, embarked on a campaign to install even more efficient LED (light-emitting diode) lamps in appropriate spots at it properties such as parking lots. The LED lighting uses only about 20 percent of the energy of similar CFL lighting and 5% of an incandescent bulb.
On the water conservation front, CHR began installing low-flow toilets at its apartment communities in the 1990s. Since then, CHR has installed thousands of low-flow toilets and showerheads and added aerators to faucets to further reduce water consumption by about 40 percent. More recently, the company began installing Stealth toilets, manufactured by Niagara Conservation Corp., at its apartment communities. The ultra-high efficiency toilets use only 0.8 gallons of water per flush while also reducing noise. Ed Zuker, Chestnut Hill Realty's founder and chief executive officer, notes that all of the energy-efficient fixtures selected by the company are extensively field-tested, including at the homes of company employees, before being installed at CHR's apartment communities.
In 2007, CHR launched its Live Green program, which set ambitious goals for conservation and added an education component to the company's energy conservation efforts, resulting in a significant reduction in the company's carbon footprint. Since 2006, CHR has shaved a total of 2.125 metric tons from its carbon footprint, achieving its goal of an 11 percent reduction in BTUs. Over 425,000 therms of energy have been conserved by replacing older, inefficient equipment, installing new controls, tightening building envelopes and changing resident behaviors. And in just about all cases, the company is realizing a return of greater than 25 percent on its capital investment.
The educational programs, resident contests and events offered to the more than 10,000 residents of CHR's apartment communities have placed a special emphasis on awareness of recycling and conservation. CHR couples the educational component of the program with practical steps to make recycling easier for its apartment residents and incentives to make it more fun and rewarding.
Whether through better heating, ventilation and air-conditioning equipment and controls, better attention to insulating and sealing the building environment, energy-efficient apartment fixtures, use of environmentally friendly and recycled materials, or education about recycling and conservation, CHR has identified and continues to pursue environmentally friendly policies and practices on multiple fronts.

Previous Post: Why Negotiating in MN White Collar Crime Cases Is So Complex
Next Post: Did MN Police Decide Your Leaving the House Was Non-Essential?
How a Stay-at-Home-Violation Could Lead to a Minnesota Drug Crime Charge
Category: COVID-19/Coronavirus | Drug Crimes
With a stay-at-home order firmly in place in Minnesota through a governor's order, Minnesotans are expected to stay at home.
These days, going out for a drive in your car can lead to more than you bargained for – as one Minnesota couple now charged with felony drug crimes for possession of methamphetamines has found out.
Ignoring the parameters of this order can land you in hot water with police, who can pull you over and search your vehicle. What they find can produce new charges that have nothing to do with the coronavirus.
Stay out of trouble while the stay-at-home order is in place by understanding what you can and can't do while it's in effect as well as what to do if you end up with a Minnesota felony drug charge.
Minnesota's Stay-at-Home Order
An Executive Order was issued by the Governor in late March that orders people to limit going outside of their homes. That means only leaving home for essential needs, which include:
Going to the grocery store for food
Going outside for a walk, hike, or another form of exercise
Taking care of another person such as an elderly relative
Going to a doctor's appointment
Getting gasoline
Court hearings are another acceptable reason to leave the house, but many courts have postponed hearings.
If you have a court hearing coming up, it's a good idea to check with your Minnesota defense attorney beforehand to make sure the hearing will still proceed or you may be able to have the hearing by phone.
Willfully Violating the Stay-at-Home Order
You can get in trouble for willfully violating the governor's stay at home order. To willfully break the law, you must know what the law was but choose to ignore it.
Doing so could cause you to be charged with a misdemeanor crime, which may result in a fine or even jail time. Get pulled over and illegal drugs are found in your possession? Plan on facing a felony drug charge as well.
Minnesota Felony Drug Crimes
Minnesota law classifies drug possession based on the type of drug and the amount of it that was found. The charges of drug crimes are separated by degrees, which include:
First-Degree Felony Drug Possession
This is the most serious drug possession offense in Minnesota. Being found guilty could land you in prison for up to 30 years and result in fines of up to $1 million. Possessing 25 grams of methamphetamines can result in a charge of first-degree drug possession and even lead to drug trafficking charges.
Second-Degree Felony Drug Possession
Second-degree drug possession carries with it a prison sentence of up to 25 years and fines up to $500,000. Possession of six grams or more of methamphetamine can result in a second-degree drug possession charge.
Third-Degree Felony Drug Possession
A third-degree drug possession charge can result in a prison sentence of up to 20 years and fines up to $250,000. Possessing three grams or more of methamphetamine can result in these charges.
Fourth-Degree Felony Drug Possession
Fourth-degree drug possession charges only apply to possession of drugs such as LSD and other hallucinogens. Being found in possession of drugs such as these in amounts of 10 or more dosages can result in a prison sentence of up to 15 years and a fine of $100,000.
Fifth-Degree Felony Drug Possession
Being caught in possession of drugs that don't fit into the criteria of the other classifications. While considered the least serious charge of drug possession, it can still land you in prison for up to five years and include fines up to $10,000.
The moral of the story about two Minnesotans charged with drug crimes while violating the stay at home order? If you have no reason to go out, it's probably best to stay at home while the order is in effect.

Government faces £5bn fuel duty black hole as EV sales soar
Ports Solent restaurant owner 'over the moon' he can reopen - after fears family business would be destroyed
THE owner of a restaurant could not be happier to hear he can reopen next month, after fearing he would have to permanently close the family business after 40 years of trade.
By Richard Lemmer
Tuesday, 23rd June 2020, 3:45 pm
Updated Tuesday, 23rd June 2020, 4:11 pm
Sonny Ahmed, who runs the family-owned India Quay in Port Solent with his nephew, Ishy, has cheered the news that restaurants can reopen on July 4.
Earlier today, prime minister Boris Johnson announced an easing of lockdown restrictions, including reducing social distancing to one metre.
Sonny said: 'I feel like all my birthdays have come at once, because I really feared for this industry.

'My father's restaurant has been going 40 years – and I really truly feared that we wouldn't be able to open again.
'I couldn't have a bigger smile on my face.
'We've had six calls already with people wanting to come in on the first day.'
The 48-year-old, who offered a takeaway service during the lockdown, added: 'If we had to stay closed until the end of August, we would have probably hung up our boots.
'We have had one tenth of the trade we normally do – it was that bad.'

The one-metre social distancing restrictions will cost the restaurant tables, but 'it's better than nothing,' according to Sonny.
He said: 'We will probably lose about a sixth of our tables.
'We will probably have about 20 in total when we reopen.
'We are looking at our booking system so there is always the right amount of people in the restaurant, and looking at taking bookings only.'
The restaurant owner plans to have all 10 members of his staff return from furlough for the reopening.
He said: 'We can't wait to reopen again.'
The announcement comes as the restaurant celebrates delivering its 2,000th free meal to vulnerable people in isolation and NHS staff across the city, as part of its charitable work during lockdown.
Sonny said: 'Donations dried up about five or six weeks ago, but we've kept going.
'It's been really emotional delivering the meals to NHS staff.
'We really can take them for granted.'

Mohammad Hejazi: The New Strategic Mastermind of Iran's Quds Force
by Maysam Behravesh | Feb 10, 2020
General Mohammad Hejazi, the new deputy head of Iran's Quds Force, and perhaps the most versatile commander of the Revolutionary Guards, will go to great pains to duly upgrade and empower its unconventional alliance network in preparation for a possible future war.
Protesters demonstrate over the U.S. airstrike in Iraq that killed Iranian Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Tehran, Iran. Jan. 4, 2020 (AP Photo/Ebrahim Noroozi, File)
Shortly after Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei tasked General Esmail Qaani with the leadership of Iran's Quds Force — following the assassination of its former head, Qassem Soleimani, on January 3 — General Mohammad Hejazi was appointed as its new deputy commander.
Confirming earlier assessments, the Quds Force – an extraterritorial operations arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) – will probably become more rigorous and ruthless in the post-Soleimani era. Hejazi's appointment is a significant step in that direction.
Who is Mohammad Hejazi?
General Mohammad Hosseinzadeh Hejazi is perhaps the most versatile and experienced commander of the Revolutionary Guards.
General Mohammad Hosseinzadeh Hejazi is perhaps the most versatile and experienced commander of the Revolutionary Guards, from his educational and operational background, to his influential role in Iran's domestic politics as well as foreign policy and regional security strategy.
He has a master's in governmental management from the University of Tehran, and a PhD in strategic management from the Supreme National Defense University. The latter is an elite institution overseen by the General Staff of the Armed Forces, which, according to its website is focused on training "dignitaries, military and law enforcement commanders, and high-ranking managers of non-military organizations" from Iran and "friendly and Muslim countries" in various "strategic" areas. During his doctoral studies, he joined the IRGC-affiliated Imam Hussein University in Tehran as a faculty member, an engagement that continues to date.
An early-time revolutionary "present at the creation" of the Islamic Republic in 1979, he had a key role in confronting and quelling armed rebellions, most notably by ethnic Kurds, in Western Iran before moving on to take part in the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988).
Hejazi became a go-to commander to help crackdown on dissent, and in the regional conflict zones where his knowledge of asymmetrical warfare and irregular force mobilization came in very handy.
During that bloody war, officially dubbed "Sacred Defense" in Iran, Hejazi was particularly active in mobilizing Basij volunteer forces and dispatching them to the front lines. This experience served him well later on, both in the domestic sphere where he became a go-to commander to help crackdown on dissent, and in the regional conflict zones where his knowledge of asymmetrical warfare and irregular force mobilization came in very handy.
It was unsurprising, therefore, that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei promoted him to the leadership of the Basij or "Mobilization Resistance Force." The militia consisted of paid members and unpaid volunteers from all walks of life and was overseen by the Revolutionary Guards as an organic grassroots force that permeated almost all governmental institutions and spread the state ideology across society.
The Basij organization, which Hejazi marshalled from 1997 to 2007, was of paramount importance in crushing student demonstrations in the summer of 1999. It was even more vital during the widespread popular protests, known as the Green Movement, that followed the rigged reelection of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2009.
The latter undertaking earned him a perch on the European Union's sanctions list for systematic violations of human rights in 2011. Hejazi, and the Basij units under his watch, had supported Ahmadinejad in his first presidential bid in 2005. They proved critical to the continuity of Ahmadinejad's presidency until 2013, even though the maverick president fell out of favor with the Revolutionary Guards during his second term in office and more so after his departure.
With a decade-long leadership-level experience in Basij, Hejazi was appointed in 2007 as chair of the IRGC joint headquarters, and less than a year later as deputy commander of the Revolutionary Guards, to become the second highest IRGC figure after its commander-in-chief, Mohammad Ali Jafari.
In the wake of the 2009 post-election protests—which forces under his command at Tehran's Sarallah Corps helped effectively contain, Hejazi was tasked with heading the department or "deputyship of procurement and logistics for industrial research" at the General Staff of the Armed Forces, a unit at the heart of technical efforts to develop Iran's missile and nuclear programs. He maintained the post until 2014, becoming intimately familiar with the formidable challenges and complexities of acquiring sensitive equipment and materials for an isolated state with revisionist tendencies and under close international surveillance.
Again, it was unsurprising that he was also entrusted with the management of the Quds Force activities in Lebanon. He took great pains to make sure that Lebanese Hezbollah, the Islamic Republic's chief non-state ally in the region, would have a decent arsenal of "precision missiles" as a reliable deterrent against Israel.
Under the new leadership of Esmail Qaani and Mohammad Hejazi, the Quds Force is expected to intensify and upgrade its support for Hezbollah and other non-state militia groups.
In August 2019, the Persian-language Twitter account of Israeli Defense Forces posted a tweet showing four senior members of the Revolutionary Guards including General Hejazi, whom it described as "people who imperil the future of Lebanon." Under the new leadership of Esmail Qaani and Mohammad Hejazi, the Quds Force is expected to intensify and upgrade its support for Hezbollah and other non-state militia groups.
This is significant not only because the US assassination of Qassem Soleimani altered the traditionally established rules of engagement between Tehran and Washington, but also because the possibility of a Trump's reelection in 2020 and continuation of his "maximum pressure" policy against Iran make military confrontation more likely in the future—hence a greater need for and reliance on this unconventional alliance.
Nurturing and empowering this network is now Mohammad Hejazi's new mantle.

See there was another article from Bernie complaining about closed and open primaries
Found this helpful
A copypaste from a comment on Facebook (not mine):
35 democratic contests thus far (excluding Northern Mariana Islands, Democrats Abroad, and American Samoa).
Hillary has won 20 contests, and Bernie has won 15.
12 were caucuses, and 23 were primaries.
Hillary has won 18 primaries, and 2 caucuses. Bernie has won 5 primaries, and 10 caucuses.
As of April 21, 2016, Rasmussen has 18,101,561 turnout for democrats in primaries, and 670,495 turnout for democrats in caucus states. Even if the caucus turnout was more than reported, it was NOWHERE near the over 18 million votes cast in the primaries. Therefore, even if the caucus turnout was slightly higher than reported, there is no feasible way that he could have more popular votes than Hillary, being that she's won vastly more of the primaries, which account for approximately 17 million more votes than caucuses.
What about CLOSED v. OPEN contests? Well, out of the 35 contests thus far for democrats, 12 were caucuses, and 23 were primaries.
16 of those primaries were open, and 7 were closed.
3 caucuses were open, and 9 were closed.
Who won those?
Bernie has won: 7 closed caucuses, and 3 open caucuses. 2 closed primaries, and 3 open primaries. Hillary has won: 2 closed caucuses, and 0 open caucuses. 5 closed primaries, and 13 open primaries.
Therefore: 9 of Bernie's 15 wins come from CLOSED states, be they caucus, or primary.
7 of Hillary's 20 wins come from CLOSED states, be they caucus or primary.
Let's dispense with the idea that Bernie's losing because of voter suppression, because he has only won 5 primaries, and caucuses suppress the vote by their very nature. They are undemocratic, not 'one person, one vote,' and leave many poor, disabled, and otherwise stressed and busy people out due to the time commitment inherent in their format.
Let's also dispense with the idea that Bernie's losing because of closed states. He's won more in closed states than he has in open ones. The bulk of Hillary's wins come from OPEN primary states, where voting is accessible, and easy for Independents and Democrats.

Why are we debating this? She's the assumed nominee in like, a matter of a week or two. It hasn't been close since Ohio.

Dear Mark Cuban,
Nobody gives a shit that you'd say yes to a VP offer from either candidate. News flash, asshole, so would the rest of us.
This just heightens my anger with the news media. The same media that gave us Donald Trump.


This moment is life. If you loose it getting melancholic, you get a moment closer to death. If you are happy living this moment, your aura disseminates and get its eternal presence. One needs to learn this art of living and enjoy this celebration called life.
Everyone is imperfect. Of course one should strive to achieve excellence in every field of pursuit. But to get depressed because of one's own imperfection is sheer foolishness. No one is perfect; accept this and enjoy living with your imperfections.
You cannot oblige every one all the time. Adopt the policy of selective disregard. The struggle to please everyone is in vain. So, abandon it.
You have to stand by your all introspected belief. Even if others doubt your stand, you should have the belief on the decisions which you took after thorough calculations.
Self-prioritization is different from selfishness. This means doing things which matters to you the most. Only a self-fulfilled individual can fulfill the needs of others.
Comparison is the key to dis-satisfaction. Everyone is different; everyone is unique. This difference is your USP.
There are few situations or individuals which/who cannot be changed. Any energy exhausted in this regard is a complete waste. Try to save it.
Every minute you are angry, you loose sixty seconds of happiness. Life is too short. Don't store anger or hurt within you.
Stop complaining about people and circumstances. The only thing under one's own control is his own behaviour which will enhance the adjustment and subsequent happiness.
Why is sleep important and what happens when you don't get enough?

Q: Swift Syntax Meaning "public class Signal { }" I am seeing codes like below:
public class Signal<T> {
 ...
}

what does <T> mean?

A: That's what's known as a Generic. It means that the Signal class can operate on multiple types. For instance, you could instantiate an object of type Signal<String>, or perhaps of Signal<Foo>, or any other type.
Generics allow the same code to work with lots of different types of data, and still retain type safety.

I thought I would supplement my magic braided bracelet tutorial with a plain video (previously it was a 10 minute segment I did on local TV).
This week has been a doozy. I've not gotten nearly enough sleep over the last week, so I'm beat. The music room is pretty much done, save styling and photos. I have a few tutorials that I'm working on and I'm working up the energy to use the fabric I bought at Britex and Yellow Bird Fabric. I need more clothes, but I'm being really good about not buying any clothes. I need more pants that actually fit me, but I don't plan on making pants for myself any time soon. Anyone up for a clothing swap? I'm dead serious. I've got a bag of shoes and clothes that I don't/can't wear anymore.
Melissa, have you tried Freecycle? I love it, even though I mostly have offers, as I try to de-clutter, but for a few items I needed, like an iron, a coffee maker, things like that, I received them quickly. I offer a lot of clothes and shoes, that are really in great shape, and they are snapped up quickly – so you might want to try that. I see a lot of maternity type clothes being offered and taken, too! Good luck!
So cool and easy, love it! Thanks for this!!

The Vancouver-born actor took to social media to share that he and his wife, actress Blake Lively have donated to relief efforts in the flood-stricken province.
"My home of B.C. continues to face a crisis from the brutal B.C. floods. Homes, farms, schools, roads and vulnerable communities," the post reads. "Rebuilding will take time. Blake and I made a donation to Red Cross Canada."
Reynolds also added a link to the Red Cross Canada website to encourage his fans to do the same.
The atmospheric river wiped out several routes in and out of the Lower Mainland and parts of Vancouver Island.
It also had a profound impact on the agriculture sector, killing thousands of farm animals across the province.
At least four people died in one of the landslides that hit the region as a result of the storm.
Approximately 200 pieces of heavy snow clearing machinery hit Winnipeg city streets Tuesday morning to begin what could be a days-long operation.
Local tourism officials are taking another look at how they market to the U.S. It is a move to stave off the impacts of the pandemic.

The number of schools making pupil referrals for mental health treatment has risen up by over a third in the last three years.
The NSPCC obtained the information from a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to NHS Trusts in England. It found that 123,713 referrals were made by schools seeking professional mental health help between 2014/15 and 2017/181.
The request also showed that 56 per cent of referrals came from primary schools and on average 183 referrals were made per school day in 2017/182.
Where information was provided about the outcome of the referral, almost one third were declined specialist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) treatment.
Peter Wanless, NSPCC Chief Executive, said: "Our research shows schools are increasingly referring children for specialist mental health treatment, often when the child is at crisis point.
"Childline plays a vital role in supporting children with their mental and emotional health, and many turn to us when they are struggling to get access to specialist treatment.
At the beginning of 2018, the NSPCC launched its Are you there? campaign, calling on the government to invest funding into early support services for children.

First Top Gun: Maverick Trailer Goes Supersonic
By Alex Chavers July 18, 2019
Tom Cruise is all we need, but Paramount wants to be sure we know this is Top Gun. A slowed down Top Gun theme? That's affirm. Some sports on the beach? Roger that. Singing at the bar? Yep. Damn Paramount, is this a new movie or a remaster? Kidding aside, we have the Cruise missile shooting missiles once again. That's more than enough.
Ok, those cockpit scenes are super slick. And it's going to be hard to top that shot of four F/A-18 Super Hornets skimming the water. But don't worry F-14 fans, we get a shot of the iconic aircraft banking to the left at the end of the trailer.
Tom Cruise isn't the only returning face from the original. Val Kilmer is bringing back 'Iceman.' Come on Paramount, give me Maverick and Iceman as wingmen again.
New faces include Miles Teller (who plays Goose's son), Ed Harris, Jon Hamm, Lewis Pullman, Jay Ellis, Charles Parnell, Bashir Salahuddin, Monica Barbaro, Glen Powell, and Danny Ramirez.
What's the story with Top Gun: Maverick?
Plot details are slim, but Skydance (also working on Top Gun: Maverick) CEO David Ellison said in 2015 drone technology would play a role in the story. A lot can change in five years (six by the time the movie hits), but today's trailer appears to back up this premise.
Here's a line from Ed Harris' character:
"The end is inevitable Maverick. Your kind is headed for extinction."
Sounds like we're getting Stealth, but what should be a much better version of it. I'm not the biggest fan of the drone angle, but I'm more than ready for another Top Gun.
Top Gun: Maverick hits theaters next summer.

Smart cities are developed urban areas designed with a perspective of creating high quality of life and sustainable economic development via advancement in several key sectors including technology, economy, environment, mobility, people, and government. The concept of smart cities is aimed to offer a set of infrastructure and new generation services to citizens and local authorities with the support of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Internet of things (IoT) capabilities. It consists also of a secure fashion to manage a city's assets. These assets include local departments' information systems, schools, libraries, transportation systems, hospitals, power plants, water supply networks, waste management, law enforcement, and other community services. Another basic issue in this framework is to involve citizens in a live, user-friendly and bi-directional informational structure (citizens/local authorities) with mutual benefits.
In this framework, Hemus Technologies created a Smart City IoT & Cloud system utilizing mobile internet and location services of users/citizens. With this system the citizens and visitors of the city, by tapping their smartphone on one of the many Cloud on Tap Information Tags (COTICs) that are installed all over the city, will be able to receive information about the current environmental conditions, news and alerts directly from the Municipality's office, some risk assessment based on their health conditions and the current environmental conditions in the area, and also information on a live map about nearby points of interest. This system consists of an administration platform hosted in a secure Cloud, the deployed COTIC tags in the form of adhesive stickers that are installed all over the city, and a front end which the citizens and visitors are able to access via the COTIC tags with tapping their smartphones on them.
A version of this Smart City IoT & Cloud system is already installed by Aratos Group in the City of Athens and in the City of Nafplio, in Greece. Similar versions are currently prepared for Bulgarian and other European cities that have shown interest in our solution.

K & K Constr., Inc. v. Department of Natural Resources
ELR Citation: 28 ELR 21156
Nos. 106712, 575 N.W.2d 531/(Mich., 03/24/1998)
The court holds that a lower court erroneously limited its taking analysis to only one of four contiguous lots owned by developers who were denied a permit to fill wetlands on their property. The court first holds that, at the least, all four of the developer's parcels of property should be considered in the taking analysis. In this case it is neither realistic nor fair to consider only parcel one for purposes of the taking analysis. Parcels one, two, and four are bound together through their contiguity, the unity of the developers' ownership interest in all three of these parcels, and the proposed comprehensive development scheme. Contiguity and common ownership create a common thread tying these three parcels together for the purposes of the taking analysis. In addition, the developers forged a connection between parcels one, two, and four through the proposed development scheme and permit applications. It would be inappropriate to allow the developers to sever this connection now that it makes their legal argument stronger. The court then remands the issue of whether parcel three is sufficiently connected tothe other parcels to conclude that all four parcels should be considered in the taking analysis.
The court then holds that when all of parcels one, two, and four are considered, it is clear that there was not a categorical taking of the developers' property. Land in the present case was not left economically idle. The developers were not prohibited from developing the remaining upland of parcel one as well as almost all of parcels two and four. While the commercial value of the land may have been reduced by the restrictions placed on it by the Wetland Protection Act, it was not rendered worthless or economically idle. The court further remands the case to the trial court to reevaluate the case under the three-part balancing test. The trial court should compare the value removed from the developer's land and calculate what value remains.

In my last post, we continued to explore the ministry of Elisha by looking at 2 Kings 4:29-37 where we learned about a Second Great Miracle in 2 Kings 4:29-37. In this post, we learn about Grace Removes A Curse in 2 Kings 4:38-41.
This story, along with one we will look at next, gives a glimpse into the life of the bands of guild prophets (students) and how God provides for them in times of need. The prophets' way of life, at least on some occasions, demanded that they forage for their food. They partly supported themselves by such foraging and partly by gifts from pious Israelites.
Elisha is the leader of the band of students at Gilgal near Jericho, where they gather before him for instruction, encouragement, and direction. The famine probably refers to the seven-year famine described in a later encounter with the Shunammite woman (8:1-6). Elisha assumes responsibility for the preparation of the meal, asking Geichazi his servant to make a stew for the men.
Vegetables were scarce, so some of the students went looking in the fields for herbs they could add to the stew. The student who came with a cloak filled with gourds was not knowledgeable about such matters but just brought whatever looked edible. Nobody knew what these gourds were!
What were the shreds of evidence that there was poison in the pot? The bitter taste of the stew was perhaps the first clue, and the men probably suffered stomach pains and nausea. There had been death in the water at Jericho (2:19-22), and now there was death in the pot at Gilgal. Remember, this was a time of famine and food was scarce. Elisha dropped some flour into the pot, and the Lord removed the poison from the stew.
Elisha neutralized the poison with another miraculous deed. The lesson was that God's power could protect His people from careless dangers even in a severe famine.
In my next post, we continue to explore the life of Elisha. In this post, we learn that Grace Satisfies the Hungry in 2 Kings 4:42-44.

Methods & Tools - News, Facts & Comments Edition - November 2001
*** Companies ***********************************************************
* SAP swings to Java
At the beginning of November, SAP, the giant German ERP software producer, announced that its new MySAP technology platform will integrate Sun's Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) software programming technology.
This is a new episode showing the coopetition (cooperation and competition) mode that influences moves of major software producers. SAP and Microsoft are cooperating to offer SAP on NT with SQL Server as a solution to decrease the fact that SAP software was often associated with an Oracle database, Oracle being a competitor of SAP in the ERP market. Java is a competitor of Microsoft's .NET environment, but now Microsoft is also an actor in the ERP market with the purchase of Great Plains, another company active in this area, and therefore a competitor of SAP. Like Microsoft removed Java Virtual Machine from its new XP OS to bother Sun, SAP has chosen Java to avoid giving a larger market to Microsoft. SAP has not completely left out .NET, because connections should be provided from MySAP to other programming technologies.
If this former paragraph seems complicated to you, I assume my responsibilities as editor... but the situation in itself is also complicated... :-]
* Database ups and downs
The recent quarterly reports from database vendors allow us to take a new look at this market. On the "looser" side we see Sybase (- 20% in licence fees from 2000) and Oracle (-8% in database sales). The "winners" are IBM which report growth of 19% and 36% in the last two quarters and Microsoft (+45%). Software AG also had good first nine months of 2001 with a solid growth its Adabas/Natural mainframe product and an increase of 41% for its Tamino XML server, even if this last product generate only 14.2 million Euro of revenues.
According to the Gartner Group, Oracle is still the indiscussed leader with a 34% market share for the global market and a 66% market share for the Unix segment. This comfortable number one position has not helped Oracle to attenuate its traditional arrogance... With time, the domination of Oracle has however decreased. With the acquisition of Informix, IBM has showed its intention to fight in the Unix area. Microsoft has gained the same market share level than Oracle in the Windows/NT operating systems. Even if Oracle has narrowed the pricing gap with IBM and Microsoft, the premium requested by Oracle will be an important influence to close sales in this weakening economy. The trends mentioned above will surely continue and lead to a more balanced market share distribution between Oracle, Microsoft and IBM. We think this is a good thing for buyers, as this should increase the importance of customer relationship in the vendors' attitude.
*** Numbers *************************************************************
* Do you really want quality?
Techrepublic.com conducted recently for Mks a survey with 550 respondants, mainly US developers, on software development needs. Here are some of the data you will find in this survey.
What percentage of the applications you build is Web-based?
100% 8%
76-99% 11%
1-25% 38%
Pick the description that best illustrates what is important to your organization?
Software quality 52%
Minimizing costs 23%
Speed of delivery 21%
What level of process management exists in you development organization?
Highly regulated 6%
Mature yet flexible 38%
Loose and informal 46%
Primitive 15%
Nonexistant 3%
The answers to the first question mainly recognise the shift toward web-based applications. The software development world is trying to regain some of the benefits of the mainframe era, letting only minimal amounts of code out of the secure and managed area of servers.
The two other results are very suprising for me. It look like these were answers made mostly by managers... :-] If quality has always been highly placed in the Powerpoint presentations of software development projects, the reality speaks more about short deadline and understaffed projects. The time to "think right" the project and to assess its quality through an extensive control has commonly been minimal. Do you know many project with "serious" test plans? (I am not speaking of documents with just list of screen to test... and sometimes THIS is already a big achievement!). It is stranger to see that 52% of the participants say that quality is the most important thing for their organisation and that 58% have a software development process that is at best loose and informal.

*** In Other's Words ****************************************************
* The Future of OOP
" Stroustrup: In C++, without appropriate libraries, anything significant seems complicated. With appropriate libraries, just about anything becomes manageable. Building and using libraries will become increasingly important. This implies an increase in generic programming, because only through that can libraries become general enough and efficient enough. I also expect to see growth in distributed computing and in the use of 'components'.
Stroustrup: I suspect the reason for a lack of success in this area is that people - primarily nonprogrammers - expect too much from vague notion of 'components'. These people dream that components will somehow make programmers unnecessary. Instead of lots of unpredictable geeks writing code, neatly suited 'designers' would compose systems out of prefabricated components using drag-and-drop. For tool vendors, the added attraction to this scenario is that only they would retain the skills need to write those components.
The fundamental fallacy of this vision is that it is extraordinarily hard to design and implement components with a wide appeal. A single component or framework that does most of what is needed for an application or an industry would be attractive to its owner, and isn't technically too hard to build. But various players in that industry would soon realize that if everybody used those components, they'd have no good way to differentiate their products from those of their competitors. They would become purveyors of a commodity, and the main profits would go the component/framework supplier.
Tiny 'components' can be useful, but don't offer much leverage. Medium-sized, more general components can be very useful, but such components require great flexibility in their composition.
Lindholm: Java technology's success is in part of a consequence of what it doesn't do. The question that needs to be asked is, 'Is the feature essential, and what is the cost of adding it to the language?' Operator overloading in C++ is in some ways a strong feature, but it also adds a great deal of complexity to the language and is difficult for many people to deal with. By making an inspired set of choices among the various tradeoffs that could be made, Java technology hits a sweet spot of capability of need.
Lindholm: Java technology isn't revolutionary in itself, but rather evolutionary: almost all of its features have existed in at least one other environment prior to the emergence of the Java platform. Java technology's valuable contribution is the choice of the set of features and the tradeoffs that have been made in making those choices to produce something both practical and aesthetically satisfying. Java technology cradles - but does not coddle - the programmer.
Stroustrup: The key advantage of a formal standard, such as the ISO standards for C and C++, is that it makes it hard for a vendor to manipulate the language for its own commercial gain. It provides for multiple vendors, which lower prices for users and provides long-term stability.
The advantage of proprietary languages is marketing-fueled popularity, cheap facilities (until the users have become locked in), and rapid responses to perceived commercial needs and fads.
Formal/open standards primarily serve the users/consumers of programming tools. Proprietary 'standards' primarily serve the vendors."
Source: "The Future of OOP", Bjarne Stroustrup & Tim Lindholm, The Future of Software, Winter 2000/2001.
Bjarne Stroustrup is the original designer of C++ and Tim Lindholm was an original member of the Java platform development team at Sun. Their comments are interesting because it is true that the Internet age has brought to life a new wave of languages (like Java, C# (the .NET language), Perl, Curl, PHP, etc.) in a situation where the positions seemed relatively established with Cobol, C (++ or normal) or VisualBasic as major actors.
The true actual battle for the development of Web-based applications seems to be mainly reduced to a Java versus .NET fight. The commercial power of Microsoft should not be underestimated. It will be even freer to use it after the abandon of the anti-trust charges from the US Department of Justice.

Screen for Help
by Anthony Kaufman
Watch me: American Splendor photo: John Clifford/HBO/Fine Line Features
The recent "screener ban" court case—which pitted a consortium of indie plaintiffs against the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)—was a defining moment for New York independent film, up there with The Blair Witch Project's box office success or the acquisition of production company Good Machine by Universal. The MPAA ban, an anti-piracy effort, forbade the studios and their subsidiaries from sending out VHS and DVD promo copies to Academy members, critics' groups, and guilds. Calling the MPAA ban an "unlawful restraint of trade," Judge Michael B. Mukasey's decision to lift it was a triumph for studio art-house divisions, which see "screeners" as a key way to level the playing field in awards races. But the case also emphasized the chasm that has long existed between independent filmmakers and the companies that distribute and promote their movies; at the same time, it suggested that the gap may be quickly narrowing.
"What's been made very clear is that independent film production is a mature part of the industry," says Antidote Films producer Jeffrey Levy-Hinte (Thirteen), one of the most outspoken plaintiffs in the lawsuit. "We're no longer the scrappy upstarts." But by challenging the studios that his livelihood depends on (20th Century Fox owns Fox Searchlight, which distributed Thirteen), Levy-Hinte acknowledges he is now in a precarious position. "There are some people who won't be returning our calls," he admits. But Michelle Byrd, executive director of the Independent Feature Project, another plaintiff in the suit, notes that the case helped solidify a network of indie auteur power, driven by the likes of Robert Altman and Ang Lee, who got behind the campaign to overturn the ban. "It united the coasts and the production community," she says. "The groundwork for advocacy has been laid."
"The dominant monopolies need to be inclusive of the true independents on discussions that affect all of us," says producer Ted Hope (American Splendor, 21 Grams). "The creative community recognizes that the specialized independents function as a farm league for the studios, so the business apparatus needs to recognize that, too."
However, despite an obvious desire to end the ban, the studios' "specialized" subsidiaries or "dependents"—from Fox Searchlight to Focus Features—stayed out of the case, with the exception of Miramax screener king Harvey Weinstein, who submitted into evidence a declaration calling screeners "an important part of the success of an independent film," and new Warner Independent Pictures chief Mark Gill, who actually testified against the plaintiffs. (Says Levy-Hinte, "He tried to do what was right in serving his employer.")
The dependents' enforced loyalty to their parent companies might make some independent producers wary of dealing with them, but as Levy-Hinte attests, "If there was a genuine choice, one would err on the side of the non-corporate-controlled industry, but if we want to cover our negative costs, we have to sell to a mini-major." Moving forward, Ted Hope expects producers to demand contracts that explicitly allow for the sending out of screeners.
Hope says the dependents' complicity with Hollywood is no reason to be discouraged. "If American Splendor and 21 Grams were going to get hurt by an anti-free-trade action by the studios, there were 15 different producer groups and two organizations that rose up and found a way to combat it." Hope, along with this loosely affiliated independent collective, is confident that they now have the studios' ears. Levy-Hinte vows it's time to start talking about such topics as the lack of aggressive tax incentives and the notorious MPAA ratings board. "I think the ratings are the next frontier," he says.
