Description of Ajijic and its church in 1946
In a previous post, we offered an outline biography of Canadian writer Ross Parmenter, who first visited Mexico in 1946 and subsequently wrote several books related to Mexico.
One of these book, Stages in a Journey (1983), includes accounts of two trips from Chapala to Ajijic – the first by car, the second by boat – made on two consecutive days in March 1946.
The author is traveling with Miss Thyrza Cohen ("T"), a spirited, retired school teacher who owned "Aggie", their vehicle. They meet up with Miss Nadeyne Montgomery (aka The General), who lived in Guadalajara; Mrs Kay Beyer, who lived in Chapala; and two tourists: Mrs. Lola Kirkland and her traveling companion, Mary Alice Naden.
Ross Parmenter describes Ajijic and its church in 1946 in chapter 3 of Stages in a Journey:
At Ajijic the boatman brought us alongside the pier.
After getting the hat, Mary Alice and I took the time to do what had been impossible the day before. We looked around the town. We noticed that nearly all the low houses had corrugated tile roofs. Because of the wide, overhanging eaves, the roofs seemed to slope towards each other as if they wanted to meet over the narrow, cobbled streets. Most of the houses were whitewashed, but some were cream-colored and others showed the brown adobes of which they were built. The uncoated walls harmonized with the dirt roads, for the adobes were made of the same earth.
Occasionally we saw sprays of magenta bougainvillea toppling over expanses of flat, high walls. At one corner we saw fishing nets tacked for mending to the side of a house. Looking up the steeply sloping cross street, we saw high hills flanking the upper side of the town. Looking down, we got a glimpse of the lake, a silver-gray line drawn at the end of a vista of walls and sharply projecting eaves.
At the centre of the village, as we expected, we found a plaza with a church at one corner. The plaza was like an unfinished sketch. There was no sign of a municipal palace, but otherwise it had the usual elements. But nothing was complete. The bandstand, for instance, had railing posts, but no railing; and there was no sign of a roof. There were tiled walks radiating from the stand, but the more important outer walks were still unpaved. There were cement lamp posts, but they were used only as supports for electric cord that was strung between them with a few exposed bulbs hanging at irregular intervals. And the fountain had a circular stone basin all right, but its source of water, instead of being an ornamental centrepiece, was an ordinary kitchen faucet on one side.
Most of the iron benches were broken and the flower beds were unkempt and forlorn, Indeed, the whole square would have been dusty and dreary had it not been for the trees. The jacarandas were a mass of blue blossoms. And among the pale green foliage of the flat-topped flamboyants were so many red-orange flowers that I could see why they are called "flame trees."
The church was at the back of a walled garden. Its steeple rose in four diminishing stories and was so elegant in effect that it suggested the work of a Georgian admirer of Sir Christopher Wren.
An arched gateway led into the garden. When we passed through its wrought iron gates we found the fine tower had raised false hopes. The rest of the church did not live up to it. It was small and crude, with all of the rough facade being whitewashed except the old doorway. In the gray stones of its lintel, cut in rough letters, was the information that the church had been built in 1749. By this time I had seen so many earlier dates that I felt blasé about anything so recent. After all, it was a mere twenty-six years before the American Revolution.
The low-ceilinged interior was not impressive, but it gave evidence of care. Defining the vestibule, was a new entrance screen of highly varnished wood and the floor of blue and white checked tile was as clean as a Dutch kitchen. The wooden reredos behind the altar looked as if it had been planned for a loftier church and then been cut off at the top to fit this one. It was painted white. A big picture of the Virgin of Guadalupe hung on the side wall. Another Virgin was a large, fresh-faced doll that resembled Deanna Durbin. With her white dress, blue cape and silver crown, she was decked out as if she were a princess in a Christmas pantomime.
In striking opposition was the church's most interesting object: a primitive Jesus realistically nailed to a fanciful cross, which had rays suggesting a sunburst. The Saviour's brightly gilded crown of thorns and his red velvet waist wrapper contrasted grotesquely with his gray, blood-streaked body.
As we turned to leave, a bell began ringing outside. It had a regular sound pattern: one long clang and two short ones. We also heard some pleasantly tinkling bells. And rounding the vestibule screen we almost caught our breath at what we saw. Framed by the trees of the garden and the high round arch of the gateway was a beautiful view of the cobbled street, and making his way up that street was a man in the white cotton clothes of a native driving three tan oxen, who were ringing the bells at their throats with the rhythmic bobbing of their heads.
The louder bell, that was ringing dash, dot, dot, was one of those in the steeple of the church. A boy was tolling it by pulling on an outside rope that reached the ground." (pp 96-98)

The Victoria's Secret Angels and other models have often been criticized for promoting false expectations about, say, how a bra will fit, or what women can expect their bodies to look like post-puberty.
But now, models including Elsa Hosk, Emily Ratajkowski, Bella Hadid, Lais Ribeiro, Hailey Baldwin and more are being accused of participating in one of the greatest feats of false advertising to date.
Last December, a group of Insta-famous models were flown to the Bahamas where they frolicked on jet skis, held mini photoshoots on the beach, relaxed in world class villas and traveled on private planes, all to promote the Fyre Festival, a new music festival launched by Ja Rule, which was touted as "the new Coachella."
Ticket prices ranged from $4,000 to $250,000 (for a group of 12) for the fest, which was supposed to kick off last night, with headliners Blink 182, Major Lazer and Migos. Guests, who arrived at the privately owned island to kick off what was supposed to be a weekend of riches and music, were shocked to find that the festival was a disorganized mess lacking the most basic needs, let alone the luxury they were promised. After the island chaos, the festival was canceled.
Here, a comparison of the expectations inspired by the models' jaunt to the Bahamas, versus what actually went down.
Expectation: Jetskis on the beach!
Reality: Disaster relief tents on the beach.
Expectation: Hanging out with all your friends!
Reality: Being locked in an airport with all your friends, plus some strangers.
Reality: A great view of a porta-potty, plus some trash-strewn beaches.
Reality: Chaos of passengers scrambling to leave the island.
Expectation: World class accommodations and toys!
Reality: Shoddy lockers, "sandwiches" that are actually just slices of bread and cheese.
Expectation: An opportunity to wear your brand new swimsuit!
Reality: Worried about whether or not that brand new swimsuit will be forever lost inside a massive shipping container.
Reality: Overcrowded planes sitting on the tarmac for hours at a time.


Daniel Debiasi and Federico Sandri found their own design studio Something in 2010. Based in London and Verona, they work within various fields of product design, while sometimes they also design exhibitions and consult companies on design-related strategies. Their collaboration evolves along a continuous dialogue encouraged by spatial, cultural and behavioral observations. Multiple experiments with different materials and processes and the relationship between manufacture and craftsmanship form the basis for a much broader thinking where objects are always considered as part of a bigger picture.


Usually, power of sale houses is less expensive than going through an individual merely offering their house. This is since the bank only wishes to not lose on the offer. They want to make the money back that they have actually lost from the default. In Canada, any extra money from the sale is returned to the homeowner, however if there is a shortfall, the owner is responsible for the difference.

The Design Eras that Inspire DAVIDSON
Claudia Davidson
Style Fitted Customisation Press & News
From politics and philosophy to royalty and industry, bespoke furniture design over the centuries has been shaped by all manner of tastes and cultural attitudes. Some eras were so iconic – for example, Regency and Art Deco – that their influence can still be felt today. Indeed, all great design is a conversation with the past, either through the materials we use or the reinterpretation of patterns and motifs.
This is certainly true at DAVIDSON and we have always been proud of the way our work combines classic elegance with the latest in contemporary design. Here, we share the five key design eras that are a constant inspiration for our work alongside some examples of our favourite DAVIDSON pieces.
The style of furniture during this time, commonly referred to as the Georgian period, lasted for approximately 100 years and three King Georges, running roughly between 1714 and 1800. The period can be divided into three style eras – Early Georgian, the Transition and Chippendale period, and Classic Georgian – with each era featuring slightly different designs and features.
For example, by the 1740s walnut had been replaced with mahogany as the wood of choice. This was mainly down to the great storm of 1703 which destroyed much of the stock of English walnut trees bringing an end to the age of walnut. By the mid 18th century, mahogany had become the favoured choice by makers such as Chippendale for fashionable furniture. The Chippendale period was known for its features borrowed from the French Rococo and Louis XV styles, alongside Chinese, Gothic and classic Louis XVI styles. These influences can be seen in the predominance of strong, elegant carvings and motifs that include lion masks and foliage. Chair legs featuring claw and ball feet were also common.
But it was the Classic Georgian – also known as neo-classical – that was one of the most enduring styles of this era, heavily influenced by Greek and Roman architecture. This was an age of pillars and columns – with no less than three styles, Corinthian, Ionic and Doric, all favoured – in homage to the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, which were discovered in 1748. Animals, both real and imaginary, were popular too, including dolphins, sphinxes, satyrs and especially lion heads.
This Georgian side cabinet exemplifies the strong, elegant carvings and motifs of the period.
The Regency era spanned around three decades, from 1800 to 1830, and was a time of great cultural refinement. It took the neoclassical antique style of the late Georgian era furniture to new heights, moving from inspiration to actually copying ancient styles. Nelson's victory at Waterloo saw the introduction of naval emblems such as rope twist carvings on chairs.
Regency furniture was typically made using dark, heavy wood with metal accents. The introduction of new trade routes to the New World over the previous century meant that demand for increasingly exotic woods in furniture making had grown. Mahogany remained the primary wood of choice, but was now heavily complemented by rosewood, zebrawood and ebony. The expanding middle classes desire for fine furniture reflected their newfound affluence.
But it was the ornate metal accents that gave Regency furniture its opulence. Brass, bronze and imitation gold were used for inlays, mounts and handles, as well as for decoration in the form of animal features – from lion and sphinx masks to paw-shaped feet adorning the legs of tables and chairs with gilding much in evidence and reflecting the taste of the Prince Regent, later to become George IV in 1820.
A classic DAVIDSON dining table forming part of their original collection of regency style designs before the style made the transition to contemporary.
While the name might suggest modern-day furniture design, in fact, the European Contemporary movement began at the start of the 20th Century. It continued to be popular right through to the 1950s, although other styles developed alongside it. With the introduction of new manufacturing technology came a desire to move away from elaborate decoration to something more minimalist, with the focus on functionality rather than ornamentation. Styles changed after the end of the WWII. The younger generation no longer wanting the styles of their parents as they cultured a brand-new world.
Designers experimented with materials, shapes, colours and sizes to create pieces of furniture that complemented the needs of the human body. Carved wood was replaced with new materials, such as steel, moulded plywood and plastic in the 1950s and 1960s and the dark woods were replaced by a more neutral colour palette, including woods in natural hues, sleek chrome finishes, and black and white accents. Contemporary furniture tended to be more sober, with an undecorated elegance that highlighted the simplicity of the designs and materials.
The Hamilton Dining Table is a wonderful example of contemporary aesthetic elegance, available in a range of design iterations and finishes.
Sleek, geometric and elegant, Art Deco reached its pinnacle in the 1920s and 1930s, driven by the younger generation of people after WWI. Featuring the highest quality materials, this iconic era oozed glamour and sophistication. The style – and its moniker – originated in France, first seen at the 'Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes' held in Paris in 1925.
Art Deco furniture was typically made from high quality woods - such as ebony, walnut, maple, ash, sycamore and mahogany - and was often characterised by a high sheen; wood was polished and often lacquered to achieve a very hard and shiny finish. The finest pieces were in France where the design originated and the likes of designers such as Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann and Andre Arbus were thriving.
Many Art Deco pieces also featured inlays of ivory, brass or mother of pearl, or incorporated materials such as wrought iron, glass, marble, aluminium and chrome. The furniture was also often upholstered in leather, shagreen (sharkskin), vellum (goat skin) or exotic furs or hides.
Our Art Deco-inspired Grace Dining Table has been a favourite with DAVIDSON clients for 15 years, not least because its form, style and detailing can be fully customised to meet your requirements and tastes, while still retaining a strong 1920s influence. This particular design is very practical and comfortable to sit at as both pedestals are narrow and tucked in providing optimum leg room.
The Mid-Century Modern style lasted from the mid-1930s to the mid-1960s. Its roots lie in the earlier German Bauhaus design movement and it was brought over to the US – and made popular – by immigrants both during and after the Second World War.
Post-war, technological advances led to the production of a range of new materials, making it possible to explore new textures, effects, colours and form. For example, traditional pieces were reimagined by combining classic materials, such as wood, with more modern options, such as plastic, glass and vinyl. Like Modernism, this style favoured functionality, clean lines and minimal ornamentation. The result was always an understated, timeless look.
The Truman Cabinet by DAVIDSON is a prime example of the Mid-Century Modernist movement, with its bold lines, modern materials and striking angles.
Whether you're looking for that perfect piece of Regency-inspired furniture or thinking of commissioning a bespoke design inspired by the great Art Deco furniture designers of the time, we can help.

B.C. permanently allows restaurants to sell alcohol with pick-up and delivery meals
Glen Korstrom / Business in Vancouver • March 17, 2021

The B.C. government has granted permanent permission for restaurants and pubs to be able to sell and deliver sealed, packaged wine, beer and spirits alongside meals.
The March 11 news comes almost one year after the province started to allow this practice, on a temporary basis, to help restaurants hit by health orders forcing them to restrict in-restaurant dining. The pilot project was originally set to expire on July 15, 2020, but it was extended three times.
"Making this authorization permanent will provide approximately 8,000 businesses with long-term financial support and certainty, and will aid in the hospitality industry's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic," B.C. Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth said in a statement.
Pre-pandemic, restaurants and pubs were were authorized to sell alcoholic drinks only for consumption in their establishments, unless they had a special endorsement on their licence.
B.C. also had a Business Technical Advisory Panel (BTAP,) consisting of representatives from the liquor and hospitality industry, which in 2020 recommended allowing restaurants and pubs to deliver alcohol with meals.
"The original 2018 report actually did not include that recommendation," said Mark Hicken, who chaired BTAP when it was created in 2017. "The recommendation for delivery of alcohol with take-out meals was a pandemic-specific recommendation – a new recommendation from the panel."
He added that given that many jurisdictions around the world allow restaurants to sell alcohol with take-out and delivery meals, the change brings B.C. in line with an emerging global standard.
The news comes about two and a half weeks after the B.C. government made permanent its pilot project to allow restaurants to buy alcohol at wholesale prices.
We continue to work with businesses to find solutions to support them as they adapt during the pandemic," said Ravi Kahlon, Minister of Jobs, Economic Recovery and Innovation.
"Announcements like this give businesses the flexibility they need to shift their operations for the long-term, helping them to regain stability as they navigate forward."
Ian Tostenson, CEO of the BC Restaurant and Foodservices Association was pleased with the announcement.
"The temporary change initially helped us generate sales through a new revenue stream, but making it permanent will give us continued relief from the financial hardship of the pandemic as we move into recovery," he said.

New Covid-19 vaccine centre in Newark to open 'within days', says MP Robert Jenrick
More sites are set to be opened in the next few days and weeks
Ben ReidDigital News Correspondent
Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick (Image: PA)
A new Covid-19 vaccine centre will be opening in a Nottinghamshire town "within days", the Government's Housing Minister has said.
Newark MP Robert Jenrick told Nottinghamshire Live he has been kept informed of the plans as he confirmed a vaccine centre will be opening in the area.
The district will be one of the last in Nottinghamshire to be covered by a vaccine centre.
Nottinghamshire Live reported on a map showing the areas which are now covered in the county as the NHS undergoes its biggest ever vaccination rolllout
Mr Jenrick said: "I'm pleased a vaccine centre will be opening in Newark within days. It's really important to add a specialist vaccine centre to the existing GP-led efforts."
The Conservative MP and Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government was unable to confirm the location of the centre.
Newark and Sherwood District also said it did not have a confirmed date or location for when the centre would be opening.
A spokeswoman for the NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group said: "A number of Local Vaccination Services have already gone live with more sites set to go online in the next few days and weeks.
"This is a very careful process and several rigorous checks take place to ensure safety, accessibility, power supplies, security and many other factors. It is a process that takes time which cannot be rushed and we are grateful for the public's patience."
These are the locations across Nottinghamshire of where vaccine hubs are up and running:

Get yourself a teammate like Sean Doolittle.
Due to the birth of his third child, Washington Nationals' co-closer Daniel Hudson missed Game 1 of the NLCS. Hudson found himself at the center of a national debate about whether or not he should have missed the game.
Doolittle had none of that.
After the Nationals' 3-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 2 of the NLCS, Doolittle responded to the criticism directed at his teammate.
"If your reaction to someone having a baby is anything other than, 'Congratulations, I hope everybody's healthy,' you're an [expletive]," Doolittle said.
In the face of criticism, Hudson prevailed with a strong-but-short performance in Game 2.
Just one day after his wife gave birth, Hudson came in to record the final two outs of the game. It took him only five pitches to get Paul Goldschmidt and Marcell Ozuna out and earn the save.
Whether it's because of the co-closer system or the Nats' tight-knit locker room, all we know is that Doolittle has Hudson's back. Everybody could use a friend like that.

A few years ago Steve Saleen had a mid-engined sports car. He got mad at me when I said the English firm fabricating it claimed they designed it. This time, with his new sports car, the Saleen S1, I think the Chinese are given credit for the building.
Apparently there was a reveal at the L.A. Auto Show. It is still a prototype, but some reporters are praising its ready-to-sell look. It is not a large car, compared in size by some to the Porsche 718 Cayman. Curb weight will be under 2,700 lbs. The chassis is an aluminum tub bodied in carbon fiber.
The 2.5 liter engine is rated at 450 horsepower with 350 pound-feet of torque which ought to get it up to 170 mph. Apparently Saleen, who has raced at LeMans, still believes in manual trannies so a six speed will be standard though a "paddle shifted automatic" is projected as an option. Saleen claims a 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds.
The car had a previous existence in Germany in 2008 when it was the Artega GTm a VW V6-powered Hendrik Fisker designed car. That company failed. So why was it redesigned? Well, methinks Saleen would not like Fisker being interviewed about the design so he had it restyled so he can call it his own.
Making the car will be Saleen's partner Jiangsu Saleen Automotive Technology Group, who will make it in China. One price tag one newspaper projected was $100,000, but it remains to be seen what the price will be when it reaches the showrooms.
If the car succeeds, it will join the automakers in theInland Empire which include Karma, who are making, coincidentally the old Fisker-designed electric car. Saleen has offices in Corona, CA, near Ontario, CA. He is experienced in mid-engine cars having assembled all 4000-plus of the '05-06 Ford GTs for Ford.
THE AUTHOR: Wallace Wyss is the co-host of Autotalk, a weekly auto show broadcast by KUCR-FM Riverside, CA.
The new Saleen S1 is still a prototype, but some reporters are praising its ready-to-sell look.
Well, you know what they say about size, and it does matter. this car no matter how quick / fast must have at least an eight cylinder in it. Sorta like making the gt 40 kit cars back in the day, a VW 4BANGER, REALLY., and back then there were some very strong 2100cc that would do the quarter in 10-11 secs.
A nice looking car (the Saleen) regardless, but still a four SMH. Buy the way, don't tell anyone but I'd like to have one.
This comment is all about perception, and so is the car..

Industrial strength fungus: mycelium as building material
February 5, 2010 Paul Raven	11 Comments
I usually try very hard to think up my own headlines when passing on items like this, but sometimes you just have to concede that the one you found can't be improved upon. So, enter the newest candidate for the ultimate in environmentally-friendly building materials – fungal mycelium [via MetaFilter; image by James Jordan].
Mycelium doesn't taste very good, but once it's dried, it has some remarkable properties. It's nontoxic, fireproof and mold- and water-resistant, and it traps more heat than fiberglass insulation. It's also stronger, pound for pound, than concrete. In December, Ross completed what is believed to be the first structure made entirely of mushroom. (Sorry, the homes in the fictional Smurf village don't count.) The 500 bricks he grew at Far West Fungi were so sturdy that he destroyed many a metal file and saw blade in shaping the 'shrooms into an archway 6 ft. (1.8 m) high and 6 ft. wide.
A promising start-up named Ecovative is building a 10,000-sq.-ft. (about 930 sq m) myco-factory in Green Island, N.Y. "We see this as a whole new material, a woodlike equivalent to plastic," says CEO Eben Bayer. The three-year-old company has been awarded grants from the EPA and the National Science Foundation, as well as the Department of Agriculture–because its mushrooms feast on empty seed husks from rice or cotton. "You can't even feed it to animals," says Bayer of this kind of agricultural waste. "It's basically trash."
Ecovative's next product, Greensulate, will begin targeting the home-insulation market sometime next year. And according to Bayer's engineering tests, densely packed mycelium is strong enough to be used in place of wooden beams.
There are so many possible punchlines that I think I'll leave you to pick your own…

The demise of the humble bricklayer
September 23, 2009 Paul Raven	1 Comment
Via Chairman Bruce comes bad news for anyone hoping for a lasting career at the manual-labour end of the construction industry. A trailer-mounted bricklaying robot (imaginatively named "R.O.B.") will be building its second stylishly curved wall on Pike Street, New York later this year. [image lifted from linked post at Dezeen]
OK, so it's a little large and ungainly at the moment (and probably has a price tag to match), but that will change – plus it won't take breaks, go home to sleep, wolf-whistle at passers-by or attempt to form a union, which will doubtless add hugely to its appeal to corporate buyers.
Perhaps you're thinking that concrete-and-rebar specialists will still be able to find work? Don't forget that buildings can be 3d-printed now, too…

Epic engineering: It still lives
July 17, 2009 Tom Marcinko	1 Comment
This Arizona Republic item put me in mind of William Gibson's early story "The Gernsback Continuum," a rumination on the golden age of mega-construction. I saw this engineering marvel on a recent drive to Vegas (bookie, debt, showgirl–long story) and it's an awe-inspiring sight.
A quarter-mile downstream from Hoover Dam, two fingers of concrete stretch toward each other from sheer cliffs, suspended nearly 900 feet above the Colorado River.
In a month, the fingers will meet, an 80-foot gap will close and the longest concrete arch in the Western Hemisphere will be complete.
The union will mark a major milestone in the nine-year construction of the Hoover Dam bypass bridge, scheduled to open in late 2010.
But even incomplete, the overpass, officially known as the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, evokes a sense of wonder. Towering columns perch on naked rock. The arch is held by tendons of steel cable…
The $114 million bridge project has been a challenge. Accidents delayed it by two years and claimed one life, as workers battled intense heat, dangerously high winds and perilous heights…
Work crews had to build foundations for the arches midway up two sheer cliff faces, hundreds of feet above the river.…
Temperatures as high as 120 degrees strain workers and heat up wet concrete. Crews use liquid nitrogen to keep the concrete cool so blocks don't develop fatal cracks.

Flexible concrete
I try to avoid doing posts that just go along the lines of "hey, look – cool invention!", but I thought flexible self-healing concrete was interesting enough to warrant a bending (arf!) of the rules…
A handful of drizzly days would be enough to mend a damaged bridge made of the new substance. Self-healing is possible because the material is designed to bend and crack in narrow hairlines rather than break and split in wide gaps, as traditional concrete behaves.
"It's like if you get a small cut on your hand, your body can heal itself. But if you have a large wound, your body needs help. You might need stitches. We've created a material with such tiny crack widths that it takes care of the healing by itself. Even if you overload it, the cracks stay small," said Victor Li, the E. Benjamin Wylie Collegiate Professor of Civil Engineering and a professor of Materials Science and Engineering.
Ten kudos points and a Futurismic gold star to the first commenter with either a potential disaster scenario involving flexible concrete, or a design-fiction repurposing of it. Go! [via Technovelgy]

Brooklyn Landlords Slash Rents to Attract Tenants
Wall Street Journal // Jan 18, 2018
Brooklyn's apartment market is cooling faster than a cup of green matcha on a winter morning.
A building binge in recent years has swelled supplies of new apartments for rent, forcing landlords to offer steep concessions such as months of free rent to convince potential tenants to sign leases.
That, in turn, is hurting owners of older, smaller buildings, where inventory is lingering and rents are declining outright.
The median rent across the borough has declined by more than 9% since the peak in 2014, according to a market report by Douglas Elliman Real Estate. Another report, by brokerage MNS, shows average rents, which are more influenced by the higher rents in new residential towers with amenities, have remained essentially flat over the same three-year period.
"There is definitely weakness; you are seeing a lot of flexibility by everyone," said Paul Johansen, a broker at CORE who works with Brooklyn renters and landlords. "The ones down the chain, the ones that don't have the amenities, are hurting the most."
The latest report by Douglas Elliman put the median market rent across Brooklyn at $2,613 a month, after accounting for owner-concessions such as one or more months of free rent. That was down from the peak median rent of $2,936 a month in November 2014, according to the Elliman data, prepared by appraiser Jonathan Miller of Miller Samuel Inc.
Rents declined 2% in December 2017 compared with the same month a year earlier, after taking into account concessions, according to the report. The share of listings with concessions rose to the highest levels since the report began tracking such data in 2010. Some 46% of listings had concessions, up from about 14% in December 2016.
In all, roughly 27,000 new rental units in Brooklyn have hit the market since 2008 in about 680 buildings, according to Nancy Packes Data Services. Roughly 5,700 units opened last year alone.
Nancy Packes forecasts as many as 5,000 additional units in the borough in 2018 and as many as 9,000 in 2019.
Mr. Miller said he views the market as a layer cake, with the most elaborate new buildings at the top putting pressure on lower-priced segments of the market. He said he doesn't expect a sharp correction overnight, but rather a continued grinding pressure on prices.
"This is the status quo over the next year or two," he said. "Sliding prices, excess supply skewed to the higher end."
Rory Bolger, a broker at Citi Habitats, said prices were coming down, but large landlords were coping with this through concessions "straight across the board, something you didn't see consistently" before.
Some building owners are offering brokers oversize commissions of 15%, or nearly two months of rent, to help bring in potential renters, he said. Some renters are even asking for free parking.
"Concessions are through the roof," said Mr. Bolger.
In downtown Brooklyn, where more than 6,000 apartments were added since 2015, many in high rise towers with views of the Manhattan skyline, developers said they have been renting out their buildings at a steady pace.
The initial lease-up is nearly complete at the Ashland, a 53-story building in Fort Greene on the edge of downtown Brooklyn that opened in 2016, said Matthew Berenson, a vice president at Gotham Organization, which built the tower.
At 300 Ashland, another new building opposite the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the landlord cut prices in December and January between 2% and 5%, respectively, on a number of apartments, according to listings on Streeteasy.com.
A two-bedroom listing on the 25th floor showed a 2% cut in early January. The listing noted the new asking rent of $4,750 a month was calculated after taking into account the value of concessions. The contract rent was $5,700 a month.
A spokeswoman for the developer, Two Trees Management, said it wasn't seeing a slowdown in leasing in Brooklyn. She said 95% of the apartments in the 33-story building were now leased, and asking rents were trimmed on a few remaining two-bedroom and higher floor apartments.
But after a long boom in demand for trendy Brooklyn rentals, leases are shifting to tenants' favor.
"Renters are taking longer to come to a decision," said Mr. Bolger. "They realize there is some churn out there, and they are shopping for the best deals."

I am facing 2 issues here as you will see:
1) I cannot display the whole width of the plot in one row but the is being broken into 2 rows as you will see.
2) After separating the heatmap in groups( growth,big, small, DF) the plot is displayed strangely as it is like another plot is being stuck on the initial one.

Black Lives Matter Wants 'Stake' in Biden Administration Following Riots Says Fox News Guest
By Brendan Cole On 11/28/20 at 9:17 AM EST
U.S. Black Lives Matter Fox News Fox and friends Los Angeles
Black Lives Matter opposition to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti getting a cabinet job shows the group wants "a stake" in the administration of President-elect Joe Biden "because of the riots and unrest they have caused," a conservative columnist has told Fox News.
On Friday, BLM members demonstrated outside Mayor Garcetti's official residence for the fourth day running in a bid to dissuade Biden from appointing him to a top position.
Garcetti was co-chair of the Biden-Harris campaign and is said to be in the frame for the post of either secretary of transportation or housing and urban development.
But BLM protesters have criticized his housing record and said that he has not followed through on transportation projects. BLM-LA activists are also critical of how he has handled the Los Angeles Police Department's budget.

In a segment on Fox and Friends on Friday, a tweet by BLM-LA was shown on screen highlighting the group's opposition to Garcetti getting into the Biden team, which said: "We don't want the worst mayor in the nation setting national policy."
New York Post columnist Miranda Devine was asked to comment on what BLM-LA was saying about the mayor.
Devine said: "I think BLM obviously thinks that it has a stake in this administration probably because the riots and the unrest that they caused in the runup to the election... probably had something to do with the election result.
"So now they feel they have a stake in it. It's kind of outrageous but that's the way life is at the moment. I think that there probably would be a lot of L.A. residents however who would agree with them in this case," she added, before discussing what hold the progressive wing of the Democratic Party would have on Biden's top team.

Garcetti and his team have said that he is not looking for a cabinet job and that tackling the coronavirus pandemic was his priority. "I have been focused 110 percent on these numbers," he told NBC Los Angeles.
After the U.S. election, one BLM leader, Patrisse Cullors, requested a meeting with Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, to "discuss the expectations that we have for your administration and the commitments that must be made to Black people."
Biden is assembling his Cabinet team and inner circle of advisers. However Rep. James Clyburn has complained about the lack of Black candidates. He told The Hill: "From all I hear, Black people have been given fair consideration" adding, "but there is only one Black woman so far," referring to Linda Thomas-Greenfield, set to serve as ambassador to the United Nations.


Using Support and Resistance : Part 2 .
Let us today discuss how can we use Trendlines to use Support and resistance levels and make better Entry or Exits .
What is a TrendLine ?
A trend line is a straight line that connects two or more price points and then extends into the future to act as a line of support or resistance. In the Uptrend , we join two low prices points and in Downtrend we join two high prices and extend it further . Next time when prices approach them , it should probably act as Support or resistance point .
Let us see one example of each of them.
You can see in the chart how Two high prices were joined and the line acted as Strong Resistance in future , 3 times prices touched it and broke down again , These are good price area where either one can go Short (sell) , or book there profits . You can see that now prices are again Approaching to this Resistance line ,so once prices reach this point , it may provide a good opportunity to sell .
What will happen exactly , better not to predict and let market decide .
Understand that we are not saying that prices has to necessarily touch the Resistance line and then go back down , the trend line only provides Resistance , it may again go back much before touching it .
Below if the 2 yrs chart of HIND LEVER , Let us try to make a trend line which acts as support .
– Resistance line using trend line .
– Resistance line using trendline for shorter time frame .
You can see here how i joined two HIGH Points and extended the trendline in future , and how prices reacted to this Resistance line . Recently Prices broke out of this resistance line and then this same resistance line acted as Support line and prices bounced back from there .
Also you can see a small trendline , which was made joining the low points . you can see how prices bounced up as this support line held the prices . So , we have seen some examples of Trend lines and how they can act as Resistance or Support lines (as per situation) .
– Its more of an art to make a trendline , it depends how you make them using HIGH PRICE , CLOSE PRICE etc .
– You can make Trendline for any time frame.
– Its not necessary for prices to touch trendlines , you should not expect it .
– Its a wise decision to BUY OR SELL using trendlines . If trade goes in your favor , let your profits run , if it fails, cut your losses short and accept it . there is no problem with being wrong . even the best in Industry fail .
– Trendlines will be of no help unless you control your GREED in markets . dont put all your money in a single trade . Keep adequate cash for bad times .
– Once trendlines are broken , take it seriously , it has happened for a reason 🙂 .
– Make sure that the two points used to make trendline are not very near , there should be some time gap between them to believe in them .
– More times trendline is touched by the price stronger it becomes , And stronger is the break out from that trendline .
Below is a chart , and I have drawn several trendlines in different time frames , I have marked some points with 1,2,3,4,5 , please tell me what are each of them and comments on each point . please do it individually . Let me see who comments correctly on each of them . Also tell me if there is any other trendline which could have been made , but i have left it ?
Please comment on this article , did you like it ? Was it easy to understand ? Is it too difficult to use Trendlines ?
So we end this Article here , We saw Importance of Support and Resistance and how to make trendlines and use them . In the next part (last part) , we will see how we can use some of the Indicators from technical Analysis to make decision better .
Also , we can see that even by visual inspection we can get some idea about which area is support and resistance area .
For people interested in learning these things in detail , I would recommend a book "How to make money trading with Charts" by Ashwini Gujral .
why trend lines always in diagnol why they are not horizontal.
Becoming a better than average investor isn't hard to do since most investors don't do the research or take the time to educate themselves. Although I am a work in progress, I think I am better than average and I hope it shows with my latest stock pick, Mentor Capital (MNTR). I'm confident I won't be disappointed.
we are now moving to a whole big topic , understand that Nifty/Sensex is made up of a group of stocks , so its value/direction is determined by underlying stocks .
If Nifty has strong support , that means , lot of underlysing stocks have strong support and like that .
Other stocks which follow market trend because buying and selling happens a lot becuase of emotions and sentiments . If Nifty is 100 points up and markets are still roaring , will you sell a stock even if its not part of Index , No because Nifty going up says that overall things should go up and hence most of the stocks follow , unless there is some serious issue with it .
Now since the SENSEX or NIFTY are also composed of stocks, I can see trendlines being used there as well. Question is the trendline of the stock being analyzed is ok but there is also an overlying factor of the index itself which could push it down further or up further? So is it important also to see the general trend of the index as well before going for a SELL or BUY?
3. Support once broken is always a SELL ,the next thing you have to decide is how strong it is and when are you going to SELL , you just dont sell when its broken , you then find a proper entry where risk is less . like after it breaks , you wait for it to come back and test that same support point and then go back . that is a less risky entry . because it can be a false breakout also .
3. Long term support Broken .
Arun – Meaning its a SELL, is that right?
2. Long term Resistance line broken and acting as support (see prices touched the line and again bounced back up). Meaning a BUY.
I am sure it is a no brainer for you if you look at my responses above but for a novice like me, its important!
2. Long term Resistance line broken and acting as support (see prices touched the line and again bounced back up).
5 is a high point. There is a downtrend after 5 is hit.
4 is where the resistance was one of the high points in the period for which the trend line was drawn. It breaks upward and then goes above the resistance. Price is in an uptrend. Next time it approaches 4 it will act as a support.
Regarding that video , Symetrical triangle is a triangle formed when you two trend lines meet in a triangle fashion such that one is resistance line and other is support line .
What the person is saying about is , that everytime prices start to make high … it should approach to resitance level . If it moves up a bit but does not reach resitance line , that symetrical triangle is not that powerful .
Nifty range for this week is 3050-3400.
3400 is strong resistance,should be used for short sell with sl 3450.
It is in the video named option addict analysis-drawing trendlines. No Consistency in touching the support each time creates the emptiness.But he draws symmetrical triangle and all. please make clear about the inference. Then waiting for your next materials. Thank you for your service.
I have not seen the video in detail myself . What i can tell you about "area were no clear decision can be taken about support or resistance" is following .
There can be conditions when you are not sure if prices will hold the reistance or break above it . At that place you will fear if your decisions will be correct or not .
Also you can take the trade only after some time , when things becomes very clear . Its fine to loose some part rather than loosing money .
All your answers are correct … Great job .
How to make a judgement ? : You must take appropriate step on every action . Like when prices are near support levels , and over all market conditions starts improving , you can expect prices to go up now and hence you should buy .
It can happen that your analysis may be wrong and you incur losses , you just have to make sure that if its a loss , you have to get out fast without emotions .
If you are correct . Sit Tight and dont sell your shares till every thing looks good . Dont get tempted to sell the shares when yous see them coming down a bit , its volatility .. prices will always move up and down . The best thing you can do is to trail the STOP , what it means is if you have bought something at 100 and now proces are around 140 , have your STOP at 120 , say to your self that if it comes to 120 , then i will sell my shares not before that .
Then if share move up to 170 , then increase your STOP to 150 , and like this keep increaseing your SL time from time .
please make clear about the EMPTINESS mentioned in the video. That is the area were no clear decision can be taken about support or resistance.
the article is really good. Many lines can be drawn by different people. I am far away from how to make judgement?

The domain within your query sequence starts at position 778 and ends at position 1044; the E-value for the PI3Kc domain shown below is 5.65e-128.
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase isoforms participate in a variety of processes, including cell motility, the Ras pathway, vesicle trafficking and secretion, and apoptosis. These homologues may be either lipid kinases and/or protein kinases: the former phosphorylate the 3-position in the inositol ring of inositol phospholipids. The ataxia telangiectesia-mutated gene produced, the targets of rapamycin (TOR) and the DNA-dependent kinase have not been found to possess lipid kinase activity. Some of this family possess PI-4 kinase activities.
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) (EC 2.7.1.137) [(PUBMED:1322797)] is an enzyme that phosphorylates phosphoinositides on the 3-hydroxyl group of the inositol ring. The three products of PI3-kinase - PI-3-P, PI-3,4-P(2) and PI-3,4,5-P(3) function as secondary messengers in cell signalling. Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PI4-kinase) (EC 2.7.1.67) [(PUBMED:8194527)] is an enzyme that acts on phosphatidylinositol (PI) in the first committed step in the production of the secondary messenger inositol-1'4'5'-trisphosphate. This domain is also present in a wide range of protein kinases, involved in diverse cellular functions, such as control of cell growth, regulation of cell cycle progression, a DNA damage checkpoint, recombination, and maintenance of telomere length. Despite significant homology to lipid kinases, no lipid kinase activity has been demonstrated for any of the PIK-related kinases [(PUBMED:12456783)].
The PI3- and PI4-kinases share a well conserved domain at their C-terminal section; this domain seems to be distantly related to the catalytic domain of protein kinases [(PUBMED:8387896), (PUBMED:12151228)]. The catalytic domain of PI3K has the typical bilobal structure that is seen in other ATP-dependent kinases, with a small N-terminal lobe and a large C-terminal lobe. The core of this domain is the most conserved region of the PI3Ks. The ATP cofactor binds in the crevice formed by the N-and C-terminal lobes, a loop between two strands provides a hydrophobic pocket for binding of the adenine moiety, and a lysine residue interacts with the alpha-phosphate. In contrast to protein kinases, the PI3K loop which interacts with the phosphates of the ATP and is known as the glycine-rich or P-loop, contains no glycine residues. Instead, contact with the ATP -phosphate is maintained through the side chain of a conserved serine residue.
There are 18030 PI3Kc domains in 18022 proteins in SMART's nrdb database.
Taxonomic distribution of proteins containing PI3Kc domain.
This tree includes only several representative species. The complete taxonomic breakdown of all proteins with PI3Kc domain is also avaliable.
Click on the protein counts, or double click on taxonomic names to display all proteins containing PI3Kc domain in the selected taxonomic class.
Recently, a number of cDNA clones with homology to the catalytic subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase have been identified, and the sequence of the first cDNA clone encoding a phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase has been published. Use of both dominant-negative mutants of phosphoinositide 3-kinase and the inhibitors wortmannin and LY294002 has identified a number of processes in which phosphoinositide 3-kinase participates, including cell motility, the Ras pathway, vesicle trafficking and secretion, and apoptosis. Several possible biochemical targets of phosphoinositides have been found.
PIK-related kinases: DNA repair, recombination, and cell cycle checkpoints.
Relationship of the ataxia-telangiectasia protein ATM to phosphoinositide 3-kinase.
SwissProt sequences and OMIM curated human diseases associated with missense mutations within the PI3Kc domain.
This information is based on mapping of SMART genomic protein database to KEGG orthologous groups. Percentage points are related to the number of proteins with PI3Kc domain which could be assigned to a KEGG orthologous group, and not all proteins containing PI3Kc domain. Please note that proteins can be included in multiple pathways, ie. the numbers above will not always add up to 100%.

A: You appear to be obtaining slack from https://packagecloud.io/slacktechnologies/slack/debian jessie/main. This I don't recommend. slack for all currently supported versions of Ubuntu is available in the Universe repository here. There also appears to be a large number of packages (255) that you haven't yet updated. I would start there and also clean up as your output suggests with sudo apt autoremove Based on your output what actually seems to be blowing up the process is the following packages.
linux-firmware ,
initramfs-tools and
linux-image-4.15.0-72-generic
What I would do is attempt to Reinstall package and its installed dependencies for each of these, paying close atttention to the output to determine if the approach is successful. If not successful, you might have to go so far as to Command to purge and reinstall package for those that failed.
Note: You should also take a closer look at the permissions of and in /var/tmp and determine if they are sane. This advice relates to the errors reported regarding 4.15.0-58-generic which also appears to be unsuccessfully installed.

Q: binding itemscontrol to list which is a property in parent's datacontext i'm a WPF noob .
iv'e got a listbox  which is bound to a Property of class Client
public class Client : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    private List<Player> peers ;
    public List<Player> Peers
    {
        get { return peers; }
        set
        {
            peers = value;
            if (PropertyChanged != null)
                PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs("Peers"));
        }
    }
}

the listbox parent's datacontext is bound to a Client instance
  GameDetailsPanel.DataContext = client;

the listbox is bounded as follows :
 <ListBox.Items>
     <Binding Path="Peers"></Binding>
 </ListBox.Items>

to my understanding this is suppose to bound the list to the path relative to it's parent's
datacontext .. when i run the application i get the following error:
   {"A 'Binding' cannot be used within a 'ItemCollection' collection. A 'Binding' can only be set on a DependencyProperty of a DependencyObject."}

any ideas what i'm doing wrong .

A: You need to set the ItemsSource to your List of Players.
 <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Peers}">
 </ListBox>

A: o'k i found out what i was doing wrong
normally i would dismiss this question .. but maybe it could help out a noob like me
some day ..so
             <ListBox.ItemsSource>
                  <Binding Path="Peers"></Binding>
             </ListBox.ItemsSource>


Sometimes you just have to draw a dog wearing a bowtie. It was a good excuse to set up mydrawing tablet a bit better as I'm still new to this whole pen table thing.
I agree with the above sentiment. I used EE for a oclpue of years but got frustrated a) by the 2.0 drama and b) by the increasing cost of extensions that in many cases should be basic functionality of the CMS. The only thing that held me back was all the talk of you have to know PHP to use WP , and I'm very much a front-end kind of gal, whose experience with PHP was includes and date formatting. Nudged by an IT coworker who loved WP, I made the switch and it's been great! WP is always improving and a heck of a lot cheaper. It's so much easier to find resources and if there isn't a plugin for something, just wait a month, or learn to write on yourself.What I also appreciate is how using WP has given me the need to learn some PHP, a lot of it copy-pasted, but not always. I have a far greater understanding of it after a year of using WP which seems valuable for the long-term, more so than knowing a bunch of EE tags.EE was OK but I never really got all the hype. WP gets slagged more than it deserves by naysayers it's impressive and so nice to use.

"A witty, self-deprecating and downright hilarious set from this accomplished comic"
"'A Man, a Plan…' is an absorbing tale packed with fine gags… woven through are some lovely observations, his characterisation of TK Maxx is damningly spot on… a plucky everyman with more calculated wit than he lets on, expect to see plenty more of Lewis soon"
"Lewis is a witty, awkwardly charismatic comic, he'd be right at home on a panel show"
"That accolade went to George Lewis for the sheer inventive strength of his writing. He's clearly a linguaphile… But there's also a context that makes his routines more than a parade of one-liners, as he paints himself as a loveable loser, especially in love. An expert craftsman, Lewis deservedly adds this title to the 2015 Amused Moose Award, which he won at the Edinburgh Fringe last month"
"George Lewis stood out as the funniest. At the very least because every single one of his gags got full laughter… plenty of intuitive subversive humour [and] his geeky self-assurance made the audience erupt. 9/10"

The QMJHL's 50th anniversary tour comes to Centre 200 tonight on the backend of a home and home and a pivotal matchup in the Eastern Conference standings as the Screaming Eagles host the Moncton Wildcats.
It's a return matchup from Wednesday night's contest, which saw the Eagles rally from down 3-0 before a late goal gave the Wildcats the victory. Despite the game being less than 48 hours ago, the logjam in the Eastern Conference is as such the standings have changed substantially since that meeting. Wednesday's matchup was a battle for 3rd in the East, while tonight's game would be a 3 vs. 6 matchup in the Eastern playoff tree.
Moncton is third in the Conference with a record of 26-14-5 (13-6-3 on the road). Cape Breton is tied for fifth at 26-15-3, with a home record of 13-7-1. The "gap" between third and sixth in the conference is just two points, and the Eagles hold a game in hand on the Wildcats. This season the Eagles have won three of five meetings, splitting the two at Centre 200 (winning in a shootout back on December 28th).
Jakob Pelletier opened the scoring on Wednesday night, and was first star in the Wildcats victory. Another key cog in Moncton's victory was netminder Francis Leclerc stopped 28 of 31 shots. For the Eagles, Brooklyn Kalmikov scored twice and Ryan Francis added two assists.
Both teams may be missing on the leadership front this evening, as a result of a mid-game scrap between captains Declan Smith of Cape Breton and Jonathan Aspirot of Moncton. The two men wearing the "C" both left the Wednesday's game with injury and Aspirot did not make the trip to Sydney.
Tonight's game will be part of the continuing 50th QMJHL anniversary tour, and will include a conversation with QMJHL commissioner Giles Courteau, Screaming Eagles majority owner Irwin Simon, and Screaming Eagles president Gerard Shaw, who was named team governor earlier this week. The conversation will begin at 5:30 in the main concourse and is free for anyone with a ticket to tonight's game.
As part of the 50th anniversary tour, the President's Cup and Memorial Cup will be both at Centre 200. This evening's game goes at 7 PM. Tickets can be purchased at the Centre 200 box office, by phone at 902-564-2200 or online at https://tickets.capebreton.ca/Online/default.asp Go Eagles Go!


In 1946, W.E. and Reppie Griffin established Griffin Funeral Home on the corner of West 5th Avenue and North 14th Street in Corsicana. Through hard work and dedication to the families they served, they earned a reputation as an honest and caring funeral home.
Today the vision of how people should be treated is carried on by grandson William (Bill) Griffin Roughton and his wife Linda Roughton. From the time he was old enough to help, Mr. Griffin had his grandson by his side; teaching him how to treat people with respect and dignity. In 1981 Griffin Funeral home acquired the funeral home in Blooming Grove, and in 1985 Bill and Linda Roughton built Griffin-Roughton Funeral Home in Corsicana at 1530 North 45Th street.
W.E. Griffin was proud of the new funeral home that was built, and he was there every day until his death in 1987. In 2000 Bill and Linda Roughton built Griffin-Roughton Funeral Home in Fairfield at 450 East Main street to serve the people of Fairfield and Freestone County.
Today we are into our fourth generation with Mr. and Mrs. Griffins great grandson William (Billy) Griffin Roughton II and wife Tina Territo Roughton serving as funeral directors at both Corsicana and Fairfield.
Bill has been involved in the funeral industry from an early age when the funeral homes ran the ambulance service. He has been a licensed embalmer for thirty years. He still to this day makes calls and helps families make arrangements, and see's those arrangements thru on funeral services. He is a member of the Corsicana Lions Club, deacon at North Beaton Church of Christ, and spends what little free time he has with his grandchildren. Linda Roughton has worked in the funeral home in a number of ways, from office work to driving cars on funerals. She volunteers with the Navarro Regional Auxiliary. Bill and Linda have two sons and their wives, Billy and Tina Territo Roughton and Brad and Beth Franks Roughton. Brad is a fire fighter / paramedic with Corsicana Fire / Rescue and takes care of the grave services of the funeral home. Beth is a teacher with the Frost ISD.
