If you want to redo your living space or office but don't have a large budget, short carpet rolls may be a great solution for you, especially if you have an open mind and are flexible. At Alexandria Carpet One Floor & Home Showroom, we are always well stocked with the types of carpet you desire, all at amazingly affordable prices. Should you want something even cheaper, we also have a variety of choices for short rolls.
Although short rolls are carpet remnants, they may not be what you think. These aren't oddly shaped leftover pieces disposed from other projects, nor are they poorly cut carpet rolls either. Instead, they are short carpet rolls sent directly from the manufacturers, and you'd be the first person to utilize them. Because our business has established many connections over the years, you'll be able to choose from name-brand companies, such as Stanton, Robertex, and Karastan. Not only will you get to enjoy quality carpet rolls, but you'll also get to enjoy highly discounted prices as well. These short rolls usually have price reductions of 50% to 70%, which means you'll definitely get bang for your buck. You can also have our staff custom-cut these carpet pieces to fit your needs.
Carpet is a great choice for floorcovering since it can help insulate your home and retain heat. We have access to Alexandria's largest selection of woven wool and wool blends. This can be great if you have little ones, since everyone can walk around barefoot without feeling chilly on their feet. Because your home will naturally retain more heat with carpeting, you'll also find a reduction in your energy bills, since you won't have to run your heater as much. Not only does carpet keep you warm, but it can also help with noise reduction if you're worried about sounds reverberating in your house. Your children and pets can run around and play without you having to worry about them disturbing your downstairs neighbors.
Do you admire a certain type of carpeting but want it as a rug? You'll be pleased to know that Alexandria Carpet One Floor & Home Showroom can do that for you. When we cut remnants off short rolls, take advantage of those pieces and turn it into a rug or functional piece. Our in-house team members are experts at binding and serging carpet, so speak to them about creating a piece for you. They'll answer any questions you may have about binding and serging, and help you determine which is right for you. After they create the rug for you, our team members can also provide you with synthetic padding called "Super Move Not", which is slip-resistant. By keeping your rug in place and free of wrinkles, you can prevent accidents from happening in your home.
You may not think about it much, but the flooring you choose for your home or business is extremely important when it comes to durability and comfort. Choosing one material over another can mean all the difference when it comes to your finances and the tone you want to set for the environment.
To help you find the perfect flooring option, we've listed out a few of the most popular choices, along with a few pros and cons about the material type. Your situation will vary, of course, so it's always best to contact a local flooring company if you have questions!
Carpet, the most common type of floorcovering, is a flexible and durable option found in all types of properties. If you're looking to keep your family warm, carpet is a good option, as it provides insulation as well as noise reduction. The soft fibers are pleasant to walk across barefoot, especially during the winter.
Carpet is also very easy to install, which means you won't have your daily life disrupted very long before it's ready.
As one of the largest flooring contractors in the area, our business is always fully stocked with any type of carpet you may need, including short rolls. These are carpet remnants that are highly discounted, and you can pick some up to spruce up your rooms.
The two main types of wood flooring include solid and engineered hardwoods. Hardwood flooring is a durable option, just like carpet, and it is a unique option since no two boards look the same due to the natural wood in them. Hardwood flooring is versatile — both modern and traditional homes benefit from its beauty. Because hardwood boards can be made from many types of wood, you can add an organic feeling to your rooms by choosing from a range of colors, including everything from pale Southern Yellow Pine to dark Black Walnut. If you already have hardwood flooring in your home but it's looking a bit lifeless, our team can do hardwood refinishing for you. We'll bring back the original beauty and luster of your flooring.
If carpet and wood aren't the right choices for you, we do have other flooring options available. They include tile, vinyl, luxury vinyl tile, laminate, and natural stone flooring. Each of these types of flooring has their own unique benefits, such as cost efficiency, durability, and beauty. If you want to know more about these other types of flooring, come down to our showroom to see them for yourself and to ask us any questions you may have.
At Alexandria Carpet One Floor & Home Showroom, we offer a wide range of flooring options at affordable prices, whether you're installing new flooring or updating your existing flooring.

The Weird Way Guinness Is Using Its Extra Beer
Chris Jackson/Getty Images
By Maria Scinto/July 1, 2020 1:24 pm EST
One of the great food-related setbacks of the COVID-19 pandemic involves all the beer that went to waste when law-abiding bars closed down for a few months. The draft beer that would ordinarily have been supplied to these bars had nowhere to go, with only a limited shelf life. While a certain amount of draft beer would have been poured into growlers for to-go sales, much of it just wound up having to be dumped out.
There were, however, certain brewers that got creative with their surplus stock. Some beer — including, according to Parade, all of the entries for the canceled World Beer Cup — was converted into hand sanitizer. But leave it to the folks at Guinness to come up with a unique, and truly "green," way to recycle their product. While you may have been unable to enjoy a pint of their famous stout this past St. Patrick's Day, it might be helping to make another holiday bright come year's end.

Once the bars began shutting down, Guinness offered to pick up its untapped kegs — an estimated several hundred thousand of these, according to the Press Association. So what did they do with all of that beer? According to Aidan Crowe, the director of operations at Guinness's St. James's Gate brewery in Dublin, Ireland, "Basically what we do is we take all the keg beer back and we decant it and we disperse the product through a number of environmentally sustainable routes." While a certain amount of the beer was converted into bio-gas, Crowe stated that "the vast majority of the beer goes to willow and Christmas tree plantations," where it fertilizes the soil.
Who knew? While we're all aware that beer can be healthy for humans (at least in moderation), it turns out that trees may also enjoy a few pints now and then. And, in an interesting circle-of-life side note, Food & Wine reveals that it's even possible to turn pine trees back into beer! Well, doesn't that just put the jolly in your holly? Unfortunately for the trees (but less so for the rest of us), now that bars are reopening again, Guinness has ramped its brewery production back up to serve thirsty people instead of creating fertilizer. Still, if your Christmas tree seems to be leaning just a bit more than usual this year, don't blame it on the base, since it may just be the booze!

EDGE &TA: Restoration of a Basket Case Engine
Menno L. Kliewer
National EDGE&TA 43138 Road 52 Reedley, California 93654
Charlie Parrish, founder of the Ag Historical Museum in Merced, California, located the remains of the engine in the photo somewhere in Utah. All that was left were the flywheels and the block. Charlie purchased these remains and took it back to his private workshop at Merced, and with the assistance of his friend Elmer Nelson they were able to assemble it and had it running, which required countless hours of diligent labor. Today, Charlie has it proudly displayed together with some 120 other restored engines at the Ag Museum which is open for public viewing.
When visiting the 1998 EDGE&TA National Show June 12-14, please make additional plans to visit this Ag Museum at 4498 E. Highway 140 in Merced, which is only 15 miles north of Chowchilla, the home of the National Show. The Ag Museum invites the public, and especially those who are interested in antique engines, to join Charlie and his associates for a dinner on June 11th, as they host a delegation of 50 engine collectors from England. In addition to the above exposition, this same Museum under the supervision of Charlie Parrish, will host its own annual show on September 18-20, 1998 which will be an educational feature by itself. For additional details feel free to call the Ag Museum at 209-383-1912.


BRANFORD — There were five Rotarians from Branford, and 14 more from neighboring Connecticut towns, and a few hundred school children and teachers and citizens from the towns of Mombasa and Takaungu in Kenya.
Together, in a week's time, they spruced up two schools, repairing and repainting them, and dug holes to plant dozens of trees that will in time be welcome shade trees and fruit-bearing trees.
Besides planting and painting, they all sang and danced in these towns on the eastern edge of Kenya, on the shore of the Indian Ocean.
The children, she said, were enthusiastic dancers as well as enthusiastic repairers. The Rotarians arrived with 25 paintbrushes, had to hustle up more, and left behind 100 brushes because so many kids were eager to take a hand in painting their school. The visitors also did some repair work, and upgrading of facilities.
It was the first time the Connecticut Rotarians had met the Mombasa Rotarians, but it was a meeting that had been in the works for three years and is expected to be a permanent liaison. The meeting with the school children in Takaungu, about an hour's drive from Mombasa, was the first, but again, it's expected that Branford and Takaungu will stay in touch, said Mary Donaruma, president of the Branford Rotary club.
The towns are in eastern Kenya, on the shore of the Indian Ocean, and are described in the long-ago memoir "Out of Africa" by Isak Dinesen, the pen name of Karen Blitzen. The visiting Yankees happened to be there when there was a full moon — and so they remembered Dinesen writing of a full moon and the "radiant, still nights" while she was at Takaungu.
Even with a full moon on the Indian Ocean, why go such a long distance to paint a school, to plant a tree, to sing with the children?
"We're fostering good will and a better understanding of the world," Donaruma said.
Rotary International is not a foreign entity in Kenya. There are numerous Rotary clubs in the country and Rotary International is involved in helping such groups as an elephant orphanage that saves orphaned elephant babies whose mothers have died — often from drought, sometimes because poachers for ivory have killed the mother.
The work at the schools was financed by Rotary — specifically a Rotary foundation that encourages international service. But everything's connected. The wonders of the animal life in Kenya are related to the country's ecological well-being, but also to the economy, and the Branford travelers topped off their work schedule by taking in a safari — at their own expense — to learn about the wild wonders of Kenya.
They stayed at a tented camp — the Karen Blitzen Camp — in the Masai Mara national reserve, a place of grasslands and a river where hippos splash. They picked a good time to be there. There were babies galore, and every kind of animal: splashing hippos, giraffes, beautiful gazelles and zebras. Often the Connecticut visitors saw many kinds of animals — wildebeests, topis with long horns, wart hogs — all intermixed.
They watched a baby elephant at its mother's side plucking at some grass, but not quite knowing what to do with the grass. They saw wart hog families — parents and a string of young ones — trotting along in single file — hightailing it, said Page, literally because the parents and children will run along with their skinny tails held straight up.
They have these memories, but also have learned of need and economic problems: the overpopulation and crowded conditions in Nairobi, the capital, where millions live in slums without clean water supplies; widespread corruption at government levels.
And still not soon forgotten, those kids dancing the hokey pokey.


Deepika Padukone made headlines when she was paid more than Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor for Padmaavat. Padukone was paid a whooping amount of ₹12 crores for that film, which is the highest of what leading ladies are usually paid.
Like Padukone, even Priyanka Chopra has always been an advocate of equal pay for equal work. Even when the global star was signing Quantico, she had made sure that she gets her due and is also the poster girl. So when it came to Salman Khan's Bharat, our desi girl demanded a fee of ₹14 crores. After a lot of negotiations, the producers and Chopra's team decided on ₹12 crores for her fee.
With this, Chopra upgrades from being one of the most paid Bollywood actress to being the most paid actress, along with Deepika Padukone.
Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, Bharat will go on floors in July.

George Andreas Papandreou (Greek: Γεώργιος Ανδρέας Παπανδρέου,[2][3][4] pronounced [ʝeˈorʝios papanˈðreu], shortened to Giorgos (Γιώργος) [ˈʝorɣos] to distinguish him from his grandfather; born 16 June 1952) is a Greek politician who served as Prime Minister of Greece from 2009 to 2011. He is currently serving as an MP for Movement for Change.
Belonging to a political dynasty of long standing, he served under his father, then-prime minister Andreas Papandreou as Minister for National Education and Religious Affairs (1988–1989 and 1994–1996). He served as Minister for Foreign Affairs under Prime Minister Costas Simitis from 1999 to 2004. Papandreou was leader of the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) party, which his father founded, from February 2004 until March 2012, and has been President of the Socialist International since 30 January 2006 to 25 November 2022.[5]
On 6 October 2009, George Papandreou became the 182nd Prime Minister of Greece. He was the third member of the Papandreou family to serve as the country's prime minister, following his father Andreas and his grandfather Georgios Papandreou. He resigned on 11 November 2011 during the Greek government debt crisis to make way for a national unity government.
In March 2012, he resigned as leader of PASOK, and in January 2015, he left the party completely, founding his own political party, the Movement of Democratic Socialists (KIDISO), which was the 8th most voted-for party in the January 2015 elections, but did not manage to enter Parliament. In 2017, KIDISO joined the Democratic Alignment, a political alliance formed by PASOK and other centre-left parties. Democratic Alignment later evolved into Movement for Change, which in the 2019 elections was the third most voted-for party, with Papandreou himself returning to Parliament as an MP representing the region of Achaea.
Early life and education[edit]
Papandreou was born 16 June 1952 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States, where his father, Andreas Papandreou, at that time held a professorship at the University of Minnesota. His mother is the American-born Margaret Papandreou, née Chant. He renounced his US citizenship in 2000.[6]
He received his secondary education at schools in Illinois in the United States, in Sweden, and graduated from King City Secondary School[7] (near Toronto) in Canada in 1970.[8] He attended Amherst College in Massachusetts (where he was a friend and dormitory roommate of future political rival and prime minister of Greece himself, Antonis Samaras[9]), Stockholm University, the London School of Economics and Harvard University. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology from Amherst (1975) and a master's degree in sociology from the LSE (1977). He was a researcher on immigration issues at Stockholm University in 1972–73. He was also a fellow of the Foreign Relations Center of Harvard University in 1992–93.
In 2002 he was awarded an honorary doctorate of laws by Amherst College and in 2006 he was named distinguished professor in the Center for Hellenic Studies by Georgia State College of Arts and Science.
Papandreou's father studied and worked as professor of economics from 1939 to 1959. His paternal grandfather, Georgios Papandreou, was a three-time prime minister of Greece.
Political career[edit]
Papandreou in 2001, as Minister of Foreign Affairs
The younger George Papandreou came to Greece after the restoration of Greek democracy in 1974. He then became active in the political party his father had founded, the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK). He joined the Central Committee of PASOK in 1984.
Papandreou was elected to the Greek Parliament in 1981, the year his father became Prime Minister, as MP for the constituency of Achaea. He became Under Secretary for Cultural Affairs in 1985, Minister of Education and Religious Affairs in 1988, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1993, Minister for Education and Religious Affairs again in 1994, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs again in 1996 and Minister of Foreign Affairs in February 1999. He was also Minister Responsible for Government Coordination for the Bid for 2004 Olympic Games in 1997.
In his second term as Minister of Education, Papandreou was the first politician in Greece to introduce affirmative action, allocating 5% of university posts for the Muslim minority in Thrace. He was also instrumental in initiating the Open University in Greece.
Papandreou received numerous awards and honorary degrees in recognition of his work for human rights. As Foreign Minister he fostered closer relations with Turkey and Albania. He worked to solve the dispute over Cyprus. Papandreou also worked to resolve tensions regarding the Macedonia naming dispute. Papandreou stated in 1999 that he supported Turkey's application to join the European Union.[10]
In December 2003 European Voice shortlisted him for nomination of the Europeans of the Year award as "Diplomat of the Year",[11][12] naming him as "The Bridge-Builder" and quoting Le Monde that dubbed him the "architect of Greek-Turkish rapprochement".[13] He is a founding member of the Helsinki Citizens Assembly.
Party leadership[edit]
In anticipation of the 2004 national elections in Greece, polls indicated that PASOK was very likely to lose as the conservative New Democracy party was heading towards a landslide. In January 2004, the incumbent PM Costas Simitis announced his resignation as leader of PASOK, and passed the leadership to Papandreou by recommending him as the new leader. On 8 February 2004 PASOK introduced for the first time the procedure of open primaries for the election of party leadership. Even if Papandreou had no opponent, this was a move designed to solidify the open primaries, democratize the party, and make a clean break with the tradition of "dynastic politics".
In May 2005, Papandreou was elected Vice President of the Socialist International following a proposal by the former president, António Guterres. In January 2006, Papandreou was unanimously elected President of the Socialist International.
In the 2007 general election, PASOK again lost to the incumbent New Democracy party of Kostas Karamanlis and Papandreou's leadership was challenged by Evangelos Venizelos and Kostas Skandalidis. Papandreou, however, retained his party's leadership at a leadership election in November.
In June 2009 and under his leadership, his party won the 2009 European Parliament election in Greece.[14] Four months later, PASOK won the October 2009 general elections with 43.92% of the popular vote to ND's 33.48%, and 160 parliament seats to 91.[15]

George Papandreou takes the oath of office of the Prime Minister of Greece.
Taking office and revelations[edit]
The inauguration of George Papandreou as the 182nd Prime Minister of Greece took place on 6 October 2009.[16]
Upon inauguration, Papandreou's government revealed that its finances were far worse than previous announcements, with a year deficit of 12.7% of GDP, four times more than the eurozone's limit, and a public debt of $410 billion.[17] This announcement served only to worsen the severe crisis the Greek economy was undergoing, with an unemployment rate of 10%[18] and the country's debt rating being lowered to BBB+, the lowest in the eurozone.[19] Papandreou responded by promoting austerity measures,[20] reducing spending, increasing taxes,[21] freezing additional taxes and hiring and introducing measures aimed at combatting rampant tax evasion[22] and reducing the country's public sector. The announced austerity program caused a wave of nationwide strikes[23] and has been criticised by both the EU and the eurozone nations' finance ministers as falling short of its goals.[24]
Crisis management and bailouts[edit]
On 23 April 2010 during a visit at the island of Kastelorizo, Papandreou issued a statement to the press that he instructed Finance Minister Papakonstantinou to officially ask the EU partners to activate the support mechanism, 'an unprecedented mechanism in the history and practice of the European Union'.[25] The support mechanism, which was put in place by the European heads of state and government and further elaborated by Euro Group ministers, is a European mechanism to which the IMF is associated with financing and it involves a comprehensive three-year economic program and financing conditions.[26] On 23 April 2010, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced that Greece made a request for a Stand-By Arrangement.[27] Papandreou and his Finance Minister Giorgos Papakonstantinou managed to convince the IMF and EU to participate in a €110bn bailout package on 9 May 2010. Greece's sovereign debt crisis, considered part of the European sovereign debt crisis, was marked by massive strikes and demonstrations.[28]
In an opinion poll published on 18 May 2011, 77% of the people asked said they had no faith in Papandreou as Prime Minister in handling the Greek economic crisis.[29]
On 25 May 2011 the Real Democracy Now! movement started protesting in Athens and other major Greek cities. At the time, the peaceful protests were considered to be a sign of popular rejection of Mr. Papandreou and his government's economic policies,[30][31] with as much as three-quarters of the Greek population being against the policies of the Papandreou government.[32] Among the demands of the demonstrations at Athens's central square, who claim to have been over 500,000 at one point,[33] was the resignation of Papandreou and his government.
In the early hours of 22 June, George Papandreou and his government narrowly survived a vote of confidence in the Greek parliament, with 155 of the 300 seats in parliament.[34] His government held 152 seats.[35]
On 17 September, he cancelled a visit to the IMF building in Washington D.C and the UN Headquarters in New York City amid mounting concern over the country's debt crisis.[36]
An opinion poll by Public Issue[clarification needed] on behalf of Skai TV and Kathimerini in October 2011 showed that Papandreou's popularity had dropped considerably.[37] Of the people asked, only 23% had a positive view of George Papandreou,[37] while 73% had a negative opinion;[37] ranking him lower than any other leader of a party in the Hellenic Parliament.[37] Papandreou also ranked low on the question of who is more suitable for Prime Minister, with just 22%, as both Antonis Samaras (28%) and "neither" (47%) ranked higher than him.[37]
George Papandreou and Antonis Samaras with Karolos Papoulias, the President of Greece, on 6 November 2011 discussing the formation of a caretaker government.
On 26 October 2011, the European Summit agreed to hand to the Greek government the Sixth Tranche of €8 billion bailout early in the 2012, while the private-sector banks, the holders of Greek debt, have agreed to a 50% haircut on their outstanding Greek government bonds.[38]
On 28 October 2011, during the national day parade, protesters blocked the parades, forcing the President of Greece and other officials to leave.[39]
Called-off referendum and stepping aside[edit]
On 31 October, Papandreou announced his government's plans to hold a referendum on the acceptance of the terms of a eurozone bailout deal.[40] The referendum was to be held in December 2011 or January 2012.[41] However, following the insistence of EU leaders at the G20 summit in Cannes that the referendum should be on Greece's continued membership of the eurozone, and severe criticism of such a referendum by Greek Finance Minister Venizelos and within parliament, Papandreou scrapped the plan on 3 November.[42]
On 5 November, his government only narrowly won a confidence vote in parliament[43] and opposition leader Antonis Samaras called for immediate elections. The next day Papandreou met with opposition leaders trying to reach an agreement on the formation of an interim national unity government. However, Samaras gave in only after Papandreou agreed to step aside, allowing the EU bailout to proceed and paving the way for elections on 19 February 2012.[44][45] Both the Communist Party (KKE) and the leftist SYRIZA coalition had refused Papandreou's invitation to join talks on a new unity government.[46]
After several days of intense negotiations, the two major parties along with the Popular Orthodox Rally agreed to form a grand coalition headed by former Vice President of the European Central Bank Lucas Papademos.[47] On 10 November, George Papandreou formally resigned as Prime Minister of Greece.[48] The new coalition cabinet and Prime Minister Lucas Papademos were formally sworn in on 11 November 2011.[49]
Comeback aspirations[edit]
In August 2012, Papandreou was re-elected President of the Socialist International at its congress in Cape Town.[50] Within domestic politics, he however remained largely sidelined within PASOK, while still an ordinary Member of the Hellenic Parliament.[51]
On 2 January 2015, Papandreou announced his aspirations to return to high-profile domestic politics. Launching his new party Movement of Democratic Socialists to contest the 25 January 2015 parliamentary elections, he confirmed the long-expected breakup with PASOK.[52]
While his decision was fiercely criticized by PASOK officials,[52] Papandreou referred to the extraordinary situation with the country facing important challenges amidst a highly polarized political situation. He said that under these circumstances he "needed to make a bold political choice. PASOK, the party I belonged to since my youth, and led for many years, had become assimilated into conservative practices and policies."[53]
Receiving only 2.46% of the electoral vote, Papandreou's new party however fell short of the 3% electoral threshold. His failure to be reelected marks the first time since 1923 where a representative of the Papandreou political dynasty is not present in the Hellenic Parliament.[54] Following the election he said in a BBC Newsnight interview that his conscience was clear: "I was able to save Greece from default."[55]
In March 2017, at the Congress of the Socialist International that took place in Cartagena, Colombia, Papandreou was unanimously re-elected President of the organization.
He is also co-chair of the Democratic Alignment, a coalition of the center left parties in Greece, composed by the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK), the Democratic Left (DIMAR) and the Movement of Democratic Socialists.[56]
In May 2017, Papandreou delivered the keynote speech to the European Association of Political Consultants (EAPC) in Brussels.[57][58] On 20 October 2021, Papandreou announced his candidacy for the leadership of Movement for Change (Greece).[59]
Papandreou and his then-wife attend the Quadriga Award 2010 ceremony on 3 October 2010 in Berlin.
George Papandreou was married to Ada Papapanou, until 2016, and they have a daughter, Margarita-Elena (born 1990).[60] He also has a son, Andreas (born 1982), from a previous civil wedding to Evanthia Zissimides (1976–1987),who is from Cyprus.[citation needed]
He has two younger brothers, Nikos Papandreou and Andreas Papandreou, and two younger sisters, Sophia Papandreou and Emilia Nyblom.[61]
Apart from Greek and English, he is also fluent in Swedish.[62] One of his paternal great-grandfathers, Zygmunt Mineyko, was an army officer and an engineer of Polish-Lithuanian descent.[63][64]
In 2016, Papandreou co-signed a letter to Ban Ki-Moon calling for a more humane drug policy, along with people like Glenn Greenwald, Olusegun Obasanjo and Anthony Romero.[65]

This paper considers the history of the first Church Union with Rome Russia and the coronation of Daniil of Galich. There is no reason to evaluate these developments as evidence of the termination of political and religious relations with the Byzantine Empire (Nicaean Empire), "escape" from Byzantium to the West. On the contrary, it is safe to assume that the history of the coronation and the union has demonstrated the inextricable link foreign policy Galicia-Volyn princes with the political course of Byzantium, not only not weakened after the events of 1204, but, apparently, even entrenched in the period of decisive efforts Nicene rulers reconquest of Constantinople by the Latins have.


In 1945 a group of local businessmen joined together to establish the Welland Curling Club. Not waiting for the construction of their club to be finished, the Club's first stones were thrown in the Welland Arena with the curlers drawing their own circles.
Late in the 1940's construction of the Welland Curling club was completed at its current location on King Street. The original structure was a WWII plane hangar and drill hall which was purchased from the government and moved from Niagara on the Lake and reassembled in Welland. This old wooden structure housed the ice surface and a one story add on was constructed for a bar and change rooms facilities. Ice making equipment was provided by its next door neighbour, the Welland Arena.
In 1960 an expansion of the club included a second floor re-configuring the locker rooms, office and pro shop to the first floor and the food, beverage and lounge to the second floor. The Club also purchased its own ice making equipment.
By the late 1980's the old wooden structure was well past its expiry date and needed to be replaced. Demolition started in May 1990. The contractor aided by club volunteers erected a new steel structure and the ice was ready by mid November.
The Welland Curling Club is the only eight sheet rink in the greater Niagara area and is perfect for hosting Bonspiels. In 2012 Welland hosted the Canadian University Championships but closest to our hearts is the annual Banana Belt Bonspiel. This year marks the 70th anniversary of our signature event.
The Club is a not-for-profit organization governed by its Board of Directors as appointed by the club members.
Curling is a sport that can be enjoyed by all ages and all abilities. Current Club members range in age from 6 to nearly 90. Canada has the largest population of curlers in the world and we at the Welland Curling Club would be pleased to introduce you to this wonderful winter sport.

Hawaii's Most Endangered Historic Places 2012
Kathryn Drury Wagner,

You can describe a place using words. You can show a place with pictures. But to really experience a place, you have to stand in it. Put your fingers in the bullet holes, feel the bridge sway, brush the sand away.
Physical spaces serve as reminders for us in a way that photos and memories simply cannot. That's why, each year, HONOLULU partners with the Historic Hawaii Foundation (HHF) and the State Historic Preservation Division to present a list of our state's most endangered places. The goal of the list is not to shame or scold, says Kiersten Faulkner, executive director of HHF. "We have these amazing places in our communities, and, if we don't take care of them, we will lose them. We want to show people what they might not otherwise notice, and get people excited." This year's list includes some familiar places, such as the Varsity Building in Moiliili, as well as places you may never get to see in person, such as the World-War-II-era seaplane hangar on Midway Atoll. There are even some humble, rusty looking bridges. But history isn't a beauty contest: It's not just how places look, but how they make us feel, that's important.
Varsity Building (Moiliili, Oahu)
The five-story Varsity Building was designed by local firm Wimberly and Cook in 1963 to house the First National Bank. It's one of a posse of circular buildings that went up around Oahu in the 1950s and '60s, including the Waikiki Circle Hotel and Waipahu's branch of American Security Bank. Curved buildings are examples of the midcentury Modernism movement, which showcased bold experimentation in shapes and materials, such as concrete, which had not been widely used previously.
What Threatens It?
For the past four years, Kamehameha Schools has been collecting pieces of property in the Moiliili area, forming a contiguous area slated for redevelopment. The assemblage is complete, says Paul Quintiliani, director of Kamehameha Schools' commercial real estate division. "We have begun to shift our focus toward what uses make the most sense." The overall goal, he says, is to "enhance this part of urban Honolulu by creating a heart for the community that simultaneously improves the gateway into UH Manoa." He says this will include greater pedestrian connectivity, public spaces, and new dining and entertainment options. KS is still in the planning phases; some of the possible permutations include the Varsity Building, some do not.
If you're a fan of Modernism, speak up, as community input will be important. Quintiliani says that architectural historians have been consulted to better understand the context of the Varsity Building, and that KS "does not approach redevelopment with the view that demolition is the approach of first choice."

Seaplane Hangar (Midway Atoll)
A massive, steel-frame seaplane hangar, this 1941 building was designed by Albert Kahn, a renowned architect of industrial spaces. The hangar was one of the first buildings constructed for the U.S. naval base at Midway Atoll, and was impressive not only for its size, but also for its use of glass and light. The hangar was bombed during the Japanese attack on Midway Atoll on Dec. 7, 1941, rebuilt, and then bombed again on June 4, 1942, during the Battle of Midway. The Navy rebuilt it again, though at half the size of the original building. "It's the iconic building of the time, of the battle," says Barry Stieglitz, project leader, Hawaiian and Pacific Islands, for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, which oversees the area. Standing near the hangar, he says, it's easy to make the mental shift from seeing millions of albatross that are today using Midway Atoll as a breeding ground to imagining a scene of war. "You put yourself in the shoes of those young boys and how completely terrifying it must have been."
The hangar was bombed twice during World War II. If restoration happens, the first goal would be to stabilize the building, says Barry Stieglitz.
The hangar has holes in its roof and inoperable bay doors, which have allowed rain, wind and salt air to do their worst. Factor in millions of seabirds, too, as their droppings are caustic. A plan to rehab the building was quite far along—Ferraro and Choi had developed drawings and contractor bids had been sought, but, in 2012, all plans were scrapped due to federal funding shortages. The estimated price tag is more than $20 million, says Stieglitz. "Given its remoteness and lack of access by the general public—1,250 miles from Honolulu—available maintenance funding has been prioritized for other projects."
Susan Schulmeister, the refuge manager for Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge and Battle of Midway National Memorial, reports that conversations have started with a nonprofit, Friends of Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. The group "strongly supports the refuge in its efforts to protect and restore both the biological diversity and historic resources of Midway Atoll," says member Rob Shallenberger. "The seaplane hangar has a widely recognized historic value. We believe that it will take a coalition of congressional supporters, federal agencies, nonprofit organizations and individual donors who share a common vision for the restoration and reuse of the hangar."
Rice cultivation began in Hanalei in 1882, necessitating this originally timber pier. It's been reconstructed with concrete since then.

Hanalei Pier Canopy (Hanalei, Kauai)
Originally built for rice transportation, this picturesque pier is now valued for recreational use. "It's a historic part of Hanalei and it's important to the community for fishing and picnicking," says Barbara Robeson, a longtime resident and a consultant on preservation projects. A canopy at the pier's end is integral to its look.

The pier was reconstructed in the 1990s and is in good shape, but the large canopied area at the end of the pier shed is not. "You have the roof broken apart, the posts are rotting. It's very dangerous," says Sally Motta, deputy director of finance for the County of Kauai and treasurer for the Rotary Club of Hanalei Foundation. The Rotary Club of Hanalei has been raising funds in preparation to either fix or replace the structure. Joe Borden, of the State Department of Land & Natural Resources, Kauai Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation, says the department plans to demolish the structure.
When the demolition goes through, likely this fall, all is not lost, says Borden. The state plans to partner with the Rotary in an "adopt-a-harbor"-type arrangement. Borden says the state will pay for the demolition, and the Rotary will rebuild the canopy. Motta says the Rotary has raised $127,000 in donations for the product so far. "We know it will take at least $150,000. Leftover money will be put into a fund for maintenance and repair. These funds are coming from people in our community and from visitors, people who have been coming here for years. I've never been so impressed or proud of a community."

The remains of bomb damage, dating from World War II, include these scars (above), with additional marks found as far as 40 feet away from the center of the bomb crater.
The World-War-II-Era Sites on the Marine Corps Base (Kaneohe, Oahu)
The Marine Corps Base (MCB) Hawaii is home to several hundred historic properties, including three on this year's list. They include the Bachelor Enlisted Quarters buildings, built in 1940, and a Marine Air Group Headquarters Building, constructed in 1941. There is also World War II damage to some of the base's taxiways: bomb craters and possible strafing marks that are apparent damage from the Dec. 7, 1941, attack. The two bomb craters are large, 7 to 11 feet in diameter, says MCB Hawaii's June Cleghorn, senior cultural resources manager in the Environmental Compliance and Protection Department, while smaller pockmarks probably came from bullets. The holes have been filled with concrete, but the outlines of their original shapes and locations are visible.
What Threatens Them?
The Marine Corps Base Hawaii is expanding, welcoming up to two squadrons of MV-22 Osprey aircraft and one Marine Light Attack Helicopter squadron, starting this year and continuing into 2018. Along with the space needed for the aircraft, the base will also need to reconfigure for 2,128 more personnel and dependents. According to Cleghorn, demolition is planned for no more than six of the 11 total World-War-II-era BEQs and the MAG building. Resurfacing of the taxiways is also planned.
After a two-year review process involving more than 40 consulting parties, the BEQs and MAG building demolitions sound like a done deal. (Though it may not console World-War-II history buffs, the new barracks construction will feature LEED certification standards, including sustainable site development and water and energy efficiency.) The bomb and bullet marks on the ground may be saved. Cleghorn says the Corps recognizes their historic significance and will explore alternatives to repaving.
In 1904, the Opaekaa Bridge spanned the Wailua River (they used the pieces to build the current Opaekaa Bridge, above.)

Opaekaa and Puuopae Bridges (Wailua, Kauai)
These one-lane, country bridges have different designs, but both serve as some of the few manmade reminders left of the pre-1920s homestead-lands movement on Kauai. "We know about Hawaiian culture, and about sugar-plantation culture," says Pat Griffin, a historian and community-preservation advocate, but little about this era, when, "after Hawaii became a territory, there was a homesteading movement. It was an Americanizing technique, the idea that, if farmers had some parcels of land, it would make it stronger as a territory, and it also gave Hawaiians land." The Opaekaa Bridge is also the only known British-made iron bridge in the U.S., and one of only a few surviving iron bridges in the state. It was built in 1888 over the Wailua River, and a section was recycled in 1919 for use at the Opaekaa Stream. Puuopae Bridge is in its original, 1915, location, crossing Kalama Stream.

Though safe, the bridges are largely constructed of steel and have experienced heavy corrosion, section loss and vehicular-impact damage over the years, says Larry Dill, engineer for the County of Kauai Department of Public Works. Griffin counters that the county has been gunning to replace the Puuopae Bridge. "For 20 years, the lack of maintenance and attention to these bridges has been shameful," says Griffin. "That's the main reason these bridges are in danger. There doesn't seem to be the will or the understanding to preserve the structures in ways that can honor the history while utilizing contemporary efficiencies. The county is approaching the bridges as if safety and efficiency for the bridges is an either/or situation, instead of using contemporary techniques for preservation to save them."
Any changes to the bridges would be funded by the Federal Highways Administration. Dill says, "We are currently soliciting community input via the Section 106 process regarding the historic nature of the bridges to help us reach a proposal for the scope of the projects." He cites the lack of accommodation for cyclists or pedestrians, as well as concerns about capacity and safety. "Advances in construction materials and design have rendered many of the aspects of these bridges obsolete from an engineering perspective." Still, he adds, "The historic characteristics of these bridges will be considered and included in our proposals for these bridges."
There are four buildings that make up the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Station, including a powerhouse/operating building, hotel, administration building and a manager's cottage.

The Marconi Wireless Telegraph Station (Kahuku, Oahu)
On an oceanfront parcel of land in Kahuku, tucked between Turtle Bay's golf course and shrimp farms, the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Station gives us a rare glimpse into telecommunications history. The station's name refers to Guglielmo Marconi, who invented and commercialized a way to transmit Morse signals wirelessly across great distances. Hawaii was at the forefront in the use of this technology, and when the Kahuku station was built in 1914, it was the largest wireless telegraph station in the world in terms of capacity and power. By 1916, there was regular telegraphic communication between Hawaii and Japan, a distance of 4,200 miles.
The property was purchased by Marconi Point LLC in 2005, says owner Jeremy Henderson. It's one of only two remaining telegraph stations in Hawaii (the Koko Head station's hotel building became Lunalilo's Home in 1928), and one of only a handful in the country: Receiving stations in Marshall, Calif., and Belmar, N.J., also remain standing.
Telegraph declined after Hawaii was linked to the Mainland by undersea telephone cable in 1957 and, today, the buildings at Marconi station sit vacant and in disrepair. Until Henderson can come up with the right use for the property, the buildings will continue to deteriorate.
"I'd love for the Marconi buildings to be restored, preserved and approved for adaptive reuses, which would share the history while generating income from the property," says Henderson. "I'd rather not demolish the buildings. I've spent a lot of time and money to try to save them." Preservation architect Tonia Moy, of Fung Associates, says, "The large powerhouse building has an amazing industrial quality that would make great artist lofts or low-impact manufacturing, like handcrafted surfboards or furniture. The site is amazing as well, with a fantastic beachfront that would make a great place for the retreat. But anything that would keep the buildings intact and allow for the interpretation of the incredible history of the site would be wonderful."
The Hawaii Medical Library (saved)
This Vladimir Ossipoff-designed building made the 2007 list, but, rather than being torn down, it has been reborn. The Queen's Health Systems renovated the 1961 structure to turn it into office space, moving the library materials elsewhere. The project started in November 2010, says Makana McClellan, in QHS corporate communications, and was primarily an interior renovation, with efforts to maintain the exterior's appearance. The building reopened in October 2011, says McClellan. "I'm sitting in it right now!"

The Kapaia Swinging Bridge (continued threat)
In last year's "Most Endangered Places," we covered the Kapaia Swinging Bridge, a wooden suspension bridge constructed in 1948. A vestige of the plantation culture in the Islands, in 2006, it was deemed unsafe and closed by the county. Things had been looking up: The county was planning to restore the bridges' two towers, and a community group, Save Kapaia Swinging Bridge, was raising the funds for the rest of the renovation. Looming, however, was trouble: a large java plum tree, which had fallen 15 feet downstream from the bridge.
According to Laraine Moriguchi, of Save Kapaia Swinging Bridge, on March 9, Kauai was deluged with heavy rains, flooding Hanamaulu Stream. The fallen tree acted as a dam, backing up piles of logs and brush from upstream. When the debris and force of the water became too strong, the tree gave way, releasing everything that was backed up, flooding the valley and crashing through the Kapaia Suspension Bridge.
Since then, she says, "many people seem to think that it's beyond repair. Nothing is further from the truth. Visually, the bridge looks very bad and so sad because all the wooden elements in the center section are gone. However, structurally, nothing has changed. The concrete foundation and steel cables are as sound as ever. All the wood that was damaged needed to be replaced anyway. Therefore, the prognosis remains the same as always: The Kapaia Swinging Bridge is restorable. Our efforts continue."
The Honolulu Advertiser Building (continued threat)
Several generations' worth of ink-stained wretches could have worked at 605 Kapiolani Blvd., a circa-1930 Beaux Arts beauty we featured in 2009. Home to The Honolulu Advertiser newspaper, as well as The Honolulu Star-Bulletin during their joint-operating-agreement years, the building and 3.7-acre property around it has had an unclear future for some time. It was put up for sale by Gannett Pacific Corp. in 2005, but an agreement for its purchase wasn't made until 2010. That fell through, and the plot twists continued when Hawaii Five-O came in to lease it for its soundstage and production purposes. In August, it was announced that a local housing developer, Marshall Hung, and investment group, Tradewind Capital Group Inc., intend to purchase the property, with a plan for 1,000 housing units.

The Princess Victoria Kamamalu Building (a work in progress)
When we wrote about this downtown Honolulu building in our November 2010 issue, renovation of the state-owned, mid-century building had stalled. It's moving forward again, one of the five projects identified in a May 2012 directive issued by Gov. Neil Abercrombie involving Project Labor Agreements [this regards unions] for state construction projects. It gave the project estimate at $32.9 million; the plan includes major renovation of the existing building, asbestos removal and infrastructure work, including electrical and plumbing repairs.
The Waikiki Natatorium War Memorial (don't get us started)
The Natatorium has been closed for 40 years but, instead of boring you with the back and forth on this site—managed by the City and County of Honolulu but owned by the state—simply put on the Clash's song, "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" But wait, Gov. Neil Abercrombie has a plan, hoping to create a beach volleyball facility. Communications director Jim Boersema confirmed that the governor's office is working on a solution, but declined to give details. Details would be welcome, as emails published online at Honolulu Civil Beat show that city and state officials had purposefully left the public unaware of what's happening with the Natatorium. "What city officials apparently didn't want reporters or the public to know is that hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayers' money has likely been wasted on studies that are no longer needed," reported Sophie Cocke in late September.
We checked in with nonprofit group Friends of the Natatorium. "We welcome Gov. Abercrombie's initiative to reclaim the Natatorium," says group president representative Peter Apo. "The issue of pool restoration or alternative use is yet to be addressed but we are relieved to be moving away from previous Mayor Mufi Hannemann's public policy to demolish this national treasure."

Q: All possible combination of remaing items In python using itertools I can use the combinations function to pass in a list and a specified length:
results = itertools.combinations([1,2,3,4,5], 2)
print (list(results))

Result:
 (1,2),
(1,3),
(1,4),
(2,3),
etc..
My question is, how can I do a second set of combinations for a specific length with the remaining items
For example, if I want to use the remaining items to do another combination with a length of 2, the results should look like:
(1,2) [(3,4), (3,5), (4,5)]
(1,3) [(2,4), (2,5), (4,5)]
etc...

A: You could do this
import itertools

nums = set(range(1, 6))
for c1 in itertools.combinations(nums, 2):
    c2s = list(itertools.combinations(nums - set(c1), 2))
    print(c1, c2s)

Cycling - Promoting sustainable urban mobility
Royal HaskoningDHV has been involved in bicycle traffic related consultancy for many decades, providing advice to the Dutch central government, provinces, regions and municipalities. Our advice includes the development of bicycle network masterplans, design and engineering of parking facilities and dedicated bicycle bridges, tunnels and viaducts.
Royal HaskoningDHV has also collaborated over many years with the Dutch Cycling Embassy to enhance and develop cycling policy in the Netherlands for the benefit of all road users.
In the UK there is growing pressure to improve cycling facilities and reduce the number of accidents involving cyclists; national and local governments are now looking to the Dutch approach for solutions.
Our Dutch heritage and our UK expertise in developing transport solutions to support new development means Royal HaskoningDHV are in a unique position to provide advice and technical support in the planning and development of infrastructure to support travel by bicycle in the UK.
Our recent project experience includes the delivery of high speed cycle routes through the Netherlands, which seek to reduce travel times for cyclists and reduce traffic congestion on key commuter routes.
In the UK, Royal HaskoningDHV forms part of a team undertaking the Feasibility Study for the cycle path which will broadly follow the route of High Speed 2. The study will look into how existing footpaths or cycle tracks could be joined up or upgraded to create a single route between London, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester. Royal HaskoningDHV are also commissioned on substantial studies in North Lanarkshire, Scotland and on the South Downs.
Royal HaskoningDHV's services include:
Cycle audits (existing and proposed provision)
Scheme design (preliminary & detailed)
Infrastructure design (bridges & tunnels)
Public realm design
Bicycle parking strategies and design
Cycle and public transport integration
Signing & way-finding
GIS & 3D visualisation
