It's almost election day. In the leadup to Monday, Sept. 20th, our newsroom is speaking with local candidates.
We touched on three hot-button issues: housing affordability, COVID pandemic recovery, short and long-term action on climate change, and one other topic they may have as a campaign priority.
Today, it's North Island-Powell River Maverick candidate Stacey Gastis.
The semi-retired veterinarian and father of two resides in Comox and has since 1993, alongside his wife who's also a veterinarian.
While new to politics, Gastis sees a monumental yet achievable goal of bringing power and a voice of reason to Ottawa from the west so western families can thrive and reach their full potential.
For Gastis, this election's all about freedom. It's ultimately what inspired him to run. And when it comes to COVID-19 pandemic recovery, he said people in Canada need to start working again, not the opposite.
As well, with house prices on the rise, Gastis said it's the Maverick's goal to lower taxes, ultimately helping people live comfortably and make ends meet.
As for climate change, when speaking with Vista Radio he said engineers need to get involved. He says Canada needs people actually working in related industries to come up with solutions.
If elected, what would the Maverick Party do to address housing affordability?
GASTIS: "It's a complicated issue, no easy answer on this one. We've basically got two groups," Gastis said.
"The boomers are retiring and then moving down to our area and that's what's really putting the pressure on home prices. I mean it's unbelievable what's happened."
"People from Vancouver and Calgary have moved into every area in our riding, including right up to Sayward and Port Hardy. I don't see anything changing with that. That pressure's going to continue. Where do they want to go? They all want to leave the rest of Canada and actually come to where we live. That's just a fact of life."
"The concern that I have is that my 21 and 24-year-old sons are unable to purchase homes. To come back here and live where we do is not easy unless they get a job in the resource industry. I think that what we need to do is try and engage as many job opportunities for them. They'll have to sort of fix their own future and I'll do the best that I can."
Gastis continued, "But what really needs to happen is we need to get Ottawa out of the way from taxing us and decreasing the opportunities for people to actually be employed and make a half-decent living, where you don't have to have three people in the family trying to make ends meet."
What is the Maverick Party's view on how to handle the COVID pandemic?
GASTIS: "If we're going to do this, it needs to be quick. We need to get people back into working, not the opposite," Gastis said.
"While we sort of negotiate which way it's going to go, and we monitor how things are going to happen now that the fall and the winter's coming, at the same time we cannot keep people from having to put food on the table. It's not an easy issue."
Gastis continued, "I think that that has to be provincial. Everything I would do in my power and the Mavericks would be to basically stop Ottawa from dictating how this is going to go and let the actual provinces decide what's going to happen."
What would the Maverick Party do to mitigate climate change?
GASTIS: "One of the things that we need to do is we need to get the engineers involved," Gastis said. "We need to get all the people that are in all the industries to actually come up with solutions. That's where you can actually get real ideas that are plausible and that are going to work."
"What we do not need is more government taxes, and we do not need a carbon tax that's going to actually affect people and families from working and employers from having to pay for those taxes."
He added, "What we really need is, instead of a penalty, are engineers to step up to the plate and allow them to do it as quickly as possible."
Finally, is there one topic that you would like to talk about?
GASTIS: "Freedom is huge and it's in our name. It's in the Maverick Party name, right in our logo. This is why I stepped up to become a candidate," Gastis said.
"The umbrella of freedom means freedom of choice and what you are going to do to your body. The freedom of movement, the freedom to be able to go and work where you want to work, and not being mandated by any government that limits or segregates or puts you in a position where you're going to lose your job or else. That is exactly what we're up against."
He continued, "We need to stop that kind of thing from happening to the west. While the Maverick Party will only ever run candidates from Manitoba and to the west, that's the way we're going to get our voice and our power back to be able to stop Ottawa from basically taking our resources and not really sending much back. It limits our ability to take care of ourselves."
"It's all about freedom to me, this is what this election's about," Gastis added.
Stacey Gastis of the Maverick Party is running against NDP-incumbent Rachel Blaney, Conservative's Shelley Downey, Liberal's Jennifer Grenz, Green's Jessica Wegg, Marxist-Leninist's Carla Neal, and Paul Macknight of the People's Party.

From our point of view the budget could affect some clients, mainly those based offshore.It will be interesting to see how the new 15 per cent tax to be imposed on all properties over £2million which are bought via a company will affect the high end market. The other point to note is that since the Arab spring, Middle Eastern property investment seems to have increased in central London. That may change now.
In the last few years an awful lot of foreign investment in high end property has come into the UK and especially central London. The figures in monetary terms are staggering - billions rather than millions - and it has kept the high end residential market buoyant.
The new 7 per cent tax will probably result in a reduction in transactions and potentially more investment in existing property, no bad thing for architects.It's a clever move and one discussed recently in the Guardian by Simon Jenkins. Everyone is commenting on the reduction in the 50p rate but my gut feeling is that these stamp duty rises will more than compensate for that lost revenue to the treasury.
'Development opportunities are always created by infrastructure expenditure so investment in rail, roads and airports will benefit the construction and development industries and their supporting design teams. As we are about to return to Libya we are pleased that additional help will be given to SME's in their export efforts.
'The 2012 Budget underlines the importance of new development and infrastructure in kick-starting growth in the economy. City Deals, the introduction of TIF and the expansion of Enterprise Zones could equip cities with the necessary tools to help them develop and grow. While the RIBA welcomes the additional funding for the Get Britain Building scheme, we urge the Government to ensure that developers and developments selected for funding meet the highest quality credentials so homebuyers benefit as well as house builders.
'There were no real surprises in today's Budget as is often the case with much of the content leaked to the press beforehand. Osborne's comments reaffirmed what the Government had already said on the draft NPPF. There has been little change in the underlying focus although I expect the document to contain further clarification on 'sustainable development' and some other matters beyond the draft.

For those rainy or snowy days. Fill a shallow container with stones (found at your local garden centers). Ice and snow will melt and any water on your shoes will drain through the rocks to the bottom of the tray, so your boots don't stand in their own wet puddle. Most of the moisture will evaporate off after a few hours.


These are manufactured out of clear polypropylene, which means the threads do not absorb into the skin and are capable of reaching the target area much more easily with only one incision.
Rash guard shirts are typically made of lightweight materials such as nylon, spandex, neoprene, and polypropylene and are flexible and fast drying.
Men's Heavyweight Two-Layer: Made with a special polypropylene fabric, these long johns give you the heavyweight cold protection you need.
Most of their underwear is made of Polypropylene, which has strong wicking abilities and retains warmth even when it gets wet.
These long underwear products are less expensive than the Varitherm line and are constructed of breathable polypropylene.
No static - Unlike many other polypropylene products like polyester or nylon, Duofold's Protherm line is static free.
Lastly, Polypropylene is relatively inexpensive and is very resistant to dirt and grime as well as water.
The battery pack is made of corrosion proof polypropylene and has a hook to attach it to your belt.
Line up the interior of the fabric with the frame; the polypropylene can be used as a guide.

Brooklyn bakery Robicelli's shocks the world with their brand new lasagna-Nutella hybrid, the aptly named Nutellasagna.
Frankenfoods, or the unholy act of mushing two decidedly different types of food together, are everywhere. There's the Cronut. There's the ramen burger. There's the peanut butter steak ice cream bomb (kidding.) Some Frankenfoods, however, like this awesome Nutella-lasagna mishmash, were just begging to be made.
Brooklyn bakery Robicelli's just unveiled the appropriately named Nutellasagna . If you are picturing a layered pasta dish stuffed with creamy, gooey Nutella, then you aren't too far from the mark. It's also stuffed with custard, crushed hazelnuts, chopped chocolate and topped with a thick layer of roasted marshmallows.
The bakery even sells it in large foil tins just like its ricotta-based cousin. All you have to do is pop it in the oven oven to warm it up for dessert or, if you've just moved out on your own and want to prove your independence from your parents, dinner.
With a few basic tips your cheesecake will bake rich, creamy and more fantastic than ever.

AMD and Baidu have announced a partnership that will see software for AMD Radeon Instinct GPUs deployed in Baidu data centers.
AMD recently launched its Radeon Instinct MI25, MI8, and MI6 accelerators. Alongside AMD's open ROCm 1.6 software platform, the company's new accelerators aim to increase performance and efficiency, while offering customers machine and deep learning training, edge-training, as well as interference solutions.
AMD's accelerators are designed for a wide range of machine intelligence applications for systems used in academics, life science, financial, automotive and other commercial industries.
"AMD is the only company with the capability to deliver both the high-performance GPUs and CPUs required to power the next generation of cloud data centers," says Forrest Norrod, senior vice president and general manager, Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom, AMD.
This focus on artificial intelligence is evident on both sides of the partnership, especially with the recent launch Baidu's AI strategy.
"In July, Baidu announced a complete open AI strategy, launching the conversational-based DuerOS and Apollo autonomous driving open platforms at the inaugural Baidu Create AI Developer Conference," says Liu Chao, senior director at Baidu's System Technologies Department.
Chao says Baidu is delighted to be introducing AMD Radeon Instinct products into its data center and AI program and to be building more flexible and powerful computing platform that empowers AI products and accelerates the development of the global industry.

Zinneken Pis ist eine 1998 aufgestellte Bronzeskulptur in Brüssel, die einen an einen Pfahl urinierenden Hund darstellt. Er kann als Ergänzung der bekannteren menschlichen Brunnenfiguren Manneken Pis aus dem Jahre 1619 und seines weiblichen Pendants Jeanneke Pis aus dem Jahre 1985 betrachtet werden. Er wurde auch ganz in der Nähe dieser Figuren aufgestellt, an der Kreuzung der Rue des Chartreux/Kartuizersstraat mit der Rue du Vieux-Marché aux Grains/Oude Graanmarkt. Im Brüsseler Dialekt bedeutet "Zinneke" in etwa so viel wie "räudiger Straßenköter".

Kozietuły – dawny wąskotorowy kolejowy przystanek osobowy w Kozietułach Nowych, w gminie Mogielnica, w powiecie grójeckim, w województwie mazowieckim, w Polsce.

Oddziały rosyjskie wybudowały tymczasową wojskową wąskotorową linię kolejową przebiegającą w miejscu późniejszego przystanku w maju 1915 roku, ale rozebrały ją w czasie wycofywania się w drugiej połowie lipca 1915 roku.

Przystanek oddano do użytku 5 lutego 1917 roku, wraz z odbudowanym odcinkiem linii wąskotorowej pomiędzy Grójcem a Kozietułami. Przez kolejne osiem miesięcy pełnił funkcję stacji końcowej Kolei Grójeckiej. 25 października 1917 roku oddano do użytku odcinek do Mogielnicy, stanowiący przedłużenie linii z Kozietuł na południe.

W obrębie przystanku znajduje się położony po północnej stronie torów budynek dworcowy, który w 2021 roku pełnił funkcje mieszkaniowe, a także studnia do naboru wody do parowozów. Dawniej na przystanku znajdowała się mijanka, a do 1978 roku w pobliżu znajdowała się czynna ładownia.

Przystanek obsługiwał rozkładowy ruch pasażerski do 1 stycznia 1988 roku, zaś ruch towarowy został zamknięty 1 września 1996 roku. Ruch pociągów turystycznych został wstrzymany w maju 2001 roku, zaś ostatni pociąg techniczny dojechał na przystanek w lipcu 2002 roku. Od tego czasu przystanek nie obsługiwał ruchu kolejowego.

Perth dads' sleep-deprived baby bottle idea gets $81k crowdfunding kick-start in just 10 days
December 5, 2019 — 9.13am
Four years after two Perth entrepreneurs had a lightbulb moment during a sleep-deprived conversation on a plane, they have smashed an $81,000 Kickstarter target to bring their parenting product to market.
Management consultant Ricky Hee and property consultant Alex Djojoutomo have attracted 100 new investors to mass-produce Bottle Bath, a benchtop bottle washer, steriliser and dryer in one, designed to replace the manual cleaning and sterilising of baby bottles.
Alex and Ricky with their little girls and the Bottle Bath.
Mr Hee and Mr Djojoutomo were both only 25 when they had their first children, while their friends were still mostly at the wedding and engagement stage of life. In fact, they were on a plane together about to attend a friend's wedding when they got talking about the difficulties of parenting.
Mr Hee's second child was less than a year old and still being fed expressed milk at the time.
He remembered washing the bottles at night, putting them in the steriliser and later being so tired he would forget whether he had turned it on.
"I would think 'OK, I will just sterilise it again' ... my wife would be like, 'what is taking you so long?'" he said.
"I came from a military background and I have found that 2-3 months [after birth] tougher than the military.
"The lack of sleep, and because the baby can't express how they are feeling, you are frustrated, you don't know what they want, and you are juggling fatigue and all these new things in your life. You are stressed and if you don't have a good support network, just little jobs can be quite challenging."
On the plane comparing notes, the two fathers found they both hated the bottle washing, drying and sterilising routine.
"We really felt that this chore doesn't create any bond," Mr Hee said.
"Showering the kids, changing the nappy, wiping a bum, that all creates a bond.
"But this activity is, while crucial, totally disconnected."
The device fits any ordinary bottle.
The pair searched online and couldn't find anything out there that did the three-in-one job. They found plenty of devices that did one or two individual steps, but they were all old and took up a lot of space.
So they chipped in $50,000 of their own savings each for a feasibility study, engineering work and industrial design in Singapore.
Slowly more and more friends, family and other investors have brought the total now invested to $650,000 and the Kickstarter is completing the journey, as well as gauging the interest worldwide.
In 10 days, the target ($81,000 or $SGD75,000) has been reached from about 100 backers across Australia, Singapore, New Mexico, South Africa and Indonesia, who will get the device at a discount when it hits the market.
"My wife thinks there is a fine line between courageous and crazy ... but our wives have been very supportive," Mr Hee said.
"We have had to do a lot of overseas trips and they have also had to hold the fort with the kids and do their work so we are blessed."
The benchtop appliance cleans, steam-sterilises and dries a load of bottles in less than an hour without any further labour required.
It uses less water than hand-washing and accommodates most brands, and has room for four bottles as well as teats and lids.
The device in close-up.
They are on track to start delivering Bottle Bath from mid-2020. The price is steep – about $US499 or $AUD720, but the pair wanted something aesthetically pleasing and robust.
Mr Hee said considering the appliance could replace several other space-consuming and expensive devices, last through multiple babies and be passed on afterwards, it represented value for money.
He joked the project had taken so long his business partner's children had grown too old to benefit, though Mr Hee still had a one-month-old, so he still had a window to use it.
"This is something that will maybe really resonate with hands-on dads," Mr Hee said.
"Some partners sleep through the night, or are just thankful their mother-in-law will help out, but we think a husband should contribute."

Healthy menus items featuring more fruits and vegetables. Sustainable beef production. Comfortable and contemporary restaurants with complimentary WI-FI.
If the top brass at McDonalds Corporation has its way, this is what you will find at every restaurant in a little less than two years.
The company, which has returned lackluster results to investors over the past few years and been subject to increasingly negative press around its menu selection and employee relations, announced that it will undergo a major rebranding strategy to repair its image.
McDonald's chief executive, Don Thompson, has indicated that the company's strategy is to evolve into a "more trusted and respected brand" and to create an overall restaurant experience that "customers can feel good about." What that means exactly is to be determined, but to be sure, the rebranding strategy will not be the typical logo and design change.
Instead, McDonalds is looking at its brand from top to bottom, inside and out. The goal is not simply to become a friendlier place to get cheap food. Instead, the strategy will focus on the entire organization in order to create better value to the customers, provide better customer service, employ higher impact marketing, and embrace long-term sustainable operations.
In a phrase: A major overhaul.
McDonalds seems to be following the lead of one of its closest competitor, Chipotle, which has been out growing McDonalds at an impressive pace while establishing its brand as a leader in sustainable, local and organic food production and healthy eating choices. Chipotle, which at one time was owned by McDonalds, has even produced a series of videos attempted to draw attention to the sustainability problems at large food corporations.
The rebranding strategy is estimated to take 18 months, which is a long time for Wall Street to wait and measure results. Regardless, based on the company's recent performance and a general cultural shift toward healthier lifestyles, the strategy is sure to be welcome by investors.
What do you think? Can McDonalds rebranding strategy work? Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

Frisco was a watering hole along the old Preston Road cattle drive trail during the late nineteenth century, a way station between the ranches of the plains and the markets of DFW. Permanent settlers were few and far between until the massive growth of Dallas in the twentieth century supported the growth of outlying rural towns. Even so, Catholics in Frisco were scarce until Spanish-speaking ranch hands and farmworkers began settling in the area in the 1950's. At that time, the closest Catholic churches were in Denton, Plano and McKinney. The long-time members of this community remember when there was no Catholic Mass in Frisco.
St. Francis of Assisi continues to grow along with the City of Frisco, now with over 150,000 persons and our parish with over 37,000 registered parishioners. From 1 July 2016 through 30 June 2017, we added 791 new families resulting in 10,012 total registered families.
After over two year of construction and many long years of planning, our new church and chapel were dedicated in a glorious mass on Saturday, December 7, 2013 by Bishop Keven J. Farrell. Approximately 1300 parishioners braved icy roads and freezing temperatures to participate in this Historic event in the life of our parish. Although the weather prevented many of the invited priests throughout the diocese from attending the dedication, we were blessed that Fr. Holmberg and Fr. Cloherty joined Bishop Farrell, Msgr. Pichard, Fr. Webb, Fr. Ascencio, Deacon Gregg Kahrs, and Deacon John Carlisle in celebrating the glorious dedication mass.

The WA Aboriginal Tobacco Control Strategic Leadership Team has been named this year's winner of the prestigious Dr Bob Elphick Medal.
Aboriginal tobacco control workers from the Tackling Indigenous Smoking Program and the Footprints to Better Health program have joined forces since 2013 to drive state-wide strategies that are helping to reduce smoking in Aboriginal communities.
Australian Council on Smoking and Health Executive Director Maurice Swanson praised the Strategic Leadership Team for unifying the work of Aboriginal health and medical organisations from every region in WA towards a common goal.
"Working collaboratively is vital in this complex area," Mr Swanson said.
A strong focus of the Strategic Leadership Team is on preventing young people taking up smoking, supporting parents to give their children a smoke-free start to life, and advocating for the expansion of smoke-free environments.
The Strategic Leadership Team have also developed culturally safe and evidence-based resources to increase awareness of the role smoking plays in causing heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
These resources are used extensively in one-on-one support for smoking cessation, yarning sessions and community events.
Daily smoking rates among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults have dropped from 50% in 2004-05 to 41% in 2014-15, a major achievement for public health.
As a result, there is an estimated 35,000 fewer daily smokers today than if the smoking rates stayed the same as they were in 2004.
"This encouraging downward trend is a clear indicator that sustained action will further reduce Indigenous smoking and smoking caused death and disease," Mr Swanson said.
Representatives of the Strategic Leadership Team were honoured to receive the 2018 award, presented by the Hon Roger Cook MLA, Deputy Premier, Minister for Health; Mental Health, at a breakfast in Perth today.
The Elphick Medal is awarded annually in memory of Dr Bob Elphick, a pioneering chest physician who was President of the Australian Council on Smoking and Health from its inception in 1971, and remained a driving force in tobacco control and advocacy throughout his life.

Ессе́й (якут. Дьэһэй) — посёлок на севере Эвенкийского района Красноярского края. Образует сельское поселение посёлок Ессей как единственный населённый пункт в его составе.

До 2002 года согласно Закону об административно-территориальном устройстве Эвенкийского автономного округа — село.

География
Расположен на берегу озера Ессей. Ессей находится в субарктическом климатическом поясе в зоне континентального климата, в природной зоне лесотундр. Зима длится здесь более восьми месяцев.

Историк Сибири Б. О. Долгих пишет, что в 1628 г. на берегу озера Ессей построили острог мангазейские казаки — сборщики ясака (царской дани). В феврале 1931 года был организован первый родовой Совет в п. Ессей. Родовые Советы являлись органами местного туземного управления. Родовые Советы созывали всех членов данного рода или других граждан на родовое собрание (суглан), решали вопросы, касающиеся жизни рода.

11 января 2023 года в посёлке был зарегистрирован новый абсолютный минимум температуры воздуха в населённом пункте — −73°С. По неподтверждённым документально данным, а следовательно не признанным официально, самая низкая для северного полушария температура воздуха была отмечена именно в Оймяконе — −71,2 °C..

 Попытка введения сухого закона
В посёлке был введён сухой закон с 1 января 2013 года решением Ессейского поселкового Совета депутатов от 24.10.2012 № 27 «О моратории на ввоз и реализацию алкогольной продукции на территории п. Ессей». Депутаты эвенкийского посёлка Ессей решили полностью запретить ввоз алкогольной продукции в посёлок в период с 1 января 2013 года и по март 2017 года. Прежде чем принять такое решение, депутаты изучили общественное мнение на общепоселковом собрании — большинство жителей посёлка высказались за запрет, но против решения активно выступил владелец магазина, торговавшего спиртным. Он через суд добился разрешения на торговлю алкоголем. Представители прокуратуры посчитали, что решение депутатов необходимо отменить, так как оно противоречит нескольким федеральным законам действующим в сфере предпринимательства. «Полномочий по запрещению, приостановлению, ограничению деятельности субъектов предпринимательства у Совета депутатов п. Ессей нет. Решение, принятое парламентариями, вынесено с превышением полномочий», — отметили в прокуратуре и потребовали отменить решение о введении моратория на ввоз алкоголя. Однако «Сухой закон» в п. Ессей продолжал действовать до марта 2017 года. Затем ввоз алкогольной продукции в посёлок был разрешён.

Население
По данным Всероссийской переписи населения 2010 года:

Община местных жителей — это ессейские якуты, черты традиционного хозяйства которых объединяют элементы якутского и эвенкийского хозяйства. Общину формируют четыре рода. Ессейские якуты сохранили тесные связи с соседней Якутией, своей исторической родиной.

Местное самоуправление
 Ессейский поселковый Совет депутатов V созыва
Дата избрания: 11.09.2022. Срок полномочий: 5 лет. Количество депутатов: 7. Председатель Совета Ботулу Галина Прокопьевна.

 Глава посёлка
 Ботулу Галина Прокопьевна. Дата избрания: 11.09.2022. Срок полномочий: 5 лет.

 Руководители посёлка

 Осогосток Татьяна Ануфриевна, глава в 2017-2022 гг.

Экономика
В посёлке разводят оленей.

Образование
История школы начинает свой отсчёт с 1933 года, когда приезжим учителем Евгенией Федоровной Донской была организована начальная школа в Ессее. В то время в школе обучались 9 учеников. С 1976 года учебное заведение было реорганизовано в среднюю общеобразовательную школу.

В результате пожара, произошедшего в ночь с 6 на 7 марта 2010 года, в Ессее полностью сгорели школа и детский сад.

Новый детский сад был построен через год, а строительство школы шло целых пять лет. 27 августа 2015 года состоялась торжественная церемония открытия нового здания Ессейской средней общеобразовательной школы на 150 мест.

Культура
Большую известность в Эвенкийском районе и Красноярском крае имеет детский ансамбль песни и танца Ессейского сельского Дома культуры «Хотугу Сулус» («Полярная звезда»). Ансамбль основан в 1976 году.

В 2011 г. в поселке Ессей открылся краеведческий музей «Аартык» («Исток»).

Православие
Поселок Ессей называют колыбелью православия на эвенкийской земле. По историческим данным, в 1852 году местные жители (якуты и эвенки) первыми среди аборигенного населения приняли православную веру. В 1892 году на пожертвования купцов и была построена первая в Эвенкии православная церковь. При Советской власти, в 1984 году, церковь была снесена. В 2018 году главой Эвенкийского района Евгением Васильевым было принято решение о строительстве храма святителя Василия Великого в п. Ессей.

Сотовая связь
В 2020 году в поселке было установлено оборудование, которое впервые позволило жителям пользоваться мобильным интернетом и голосовой связью. Услуги сотовой связи предоставляет оператор  «МТС». Строительство базовой станции сотовой связи проводила организация ООО "СМУ-175 "Радиострой".

The intricate markings on the backside of these bark wall hangings are created by bark beetles. These insects tunnel galleries into the backside of the bark and lay eggs. The larvae hatch by the hundreds and begin tunneling inside the soft inner layer of the ash tree, carving out galleries in which to feed and develop into adults. These new adults then dig their way out of the tree and fly off to begin the cycle on nearby trees. These pieces of wood have their own storied nature much like traditional African mudcloth. One of the most intriguing aspects mudcloth is that each piece has a story to tell in the symbols, and the language of this story is passed on from mother to daughter. The artist combined these ideas into unique and utterly original wall hanging art, highlighting the galleries created in this life cycle. The bark is light weight, easy to hang and makes an interesting addition to a gallery wall.
Eye hooks and wire are included.


Shokado bento boxes, featuring beautiful seasonal small bites, are the jewels in the crown at this Montrose izakaya. The ones featuring wagyu beef sell out especially quickly. But no matter, there are many things to love here, whether it's a classic chirashi bowl, creative sushi or cooked comfort food like curry or karaage.

Pairing TV and Movies with YA Literature: "The Monster Mash" edition
As I was thinking about a topic for my post this month, the horror genre immediately came to mind (hmmm… I wonder why?). Ghostly tales, monsters, suspense. Stay-up-through-the-night novels. A great genre to read as the nights get longer, colder. Winds that howl, rains that mist, and fog every morning. As I was considering possible music pairings for some of my favorite horror novels, I couldn't help thinking about movies or tv series that I could pair them with instead. So here you'll find a horror you can watch, paired with horror you can read.
Harper's Island (2009)
Harper's Island follows Abby Mills, whose mother died tragically at the hands of the island's notorious serial killer. She hasn't returned to the island since, but seven years later her best friend invites her to his wedding–the destination: Harper's Island. Abby must face her fears and confront her mother's killer as family and friends start disappearing in tragic endings. There was only one season of Harper's Island; 13 episodes in which at least one gruesome murder happened in each, ending with a twist no one saw coming. Really? He did it?
Book Pairings:
Ten by Gretchen McNeil (2012)
Also set on an island in the Pacific Northwest, Ten features a weekend house party turned murderous. The fun stops as people start dying and a DVD is found with the message: Vengeance is Mine. Another pairing for Ten; one that features a house party gone wrong? Scream (1996)–and its many sequels. But for the ghostly alternative: The House on Haunted Hill (1999)–or the 1959 version starring the master of creepy, Vincent Price.

Documentaries for Teens: LGBTQIA+ Issues
Documentaries are sometimes overlooked forms of media for both education and for entertainment. They cover all types of subject matter and can tell intimate, moving stories. This series focuses on documentaries that may appeal to teens, and each installment will focus on a particular theme. To honor LGBTQ history month, this installment spotlights documentaries that portray the LGBTQIA+ experience of today's teens or historical queer communities.
I'm Just Anneke
This short documentary is the story of a gender-nonconforming teen and their supportive family. Libraries can purchase it through New Day films. Educators can also find a discussion guide.
Do I Sound Gay?
This thought-provoking documentary explores the idea of a "gay voice" in popular culture, with commentary from George Takeii, Margaret Cho, David Sedaris, and more. It will be available on DVD (and Netflix) in November. Continue reading Documentaries for Teens: LGBTQIA+ Issues
YA Literary Tropes: The Manic Pixie Dream Girl (and Boy)
In our ongoing examination of literary tropes that are pervasive in young adult fiction we have covered "The Old Clunker I Drive", "The I Already Know You Introduction", and "I Have to Take Care of my Parents."
Today let us delve into one of the most pervasive tropes of our time, one that appears in literature, films, television, and maybe even our fantasies: the Manic Pixie Dream Girl (and Boy) (MPDG/B). Just in case your are not familiar with this moniker, it was identified by Nathan Rabin in 2005 when describing Kirsten Dunsts' character in his movie review of "Elizabethtown":
"The Manic Pixie Dream Girl exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures."
The "MPDG/B" trope has developed and grown in this past decade and definitely includes both girls and boys. Let's get right to this quirky trope, which just always awakens something in me… Continue reading YA Literary Tropes: The Manic Pixie Dream Girl (and Boy)
Celebrating National Library Card Sign Up Month With Fabulous Fictional Libraries
Happy National Library Card Sign Up Month!
So, first things first, how many of you have a card for your local library?
I hope all of our trusty Hub readers raised their hands with enthusiasm! After all, having a library card is cooler than being cool, as the 2015 honorary chair Snoopy himself tells us. Besides, a library is a gateway to a host of free and fabulous resources! If you haven't had the chance to saunter on down to your local public library and receive your very own library card, take advantage of this celebration's last couple weeks to investigate the process.
But if you need a reminder of just why libraries are in fact so cool, check out these examples of excellent and awe-inspiring fictional libraries.
The Hogwarts Library from the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
What library fan could resist the cavernous and mysterious space full of magical texts detailing everything from how to take care of baby dragons to the secrets behind the creation of dangerous potions? The Hogwarts Library is located on the fourth floor of Hogwarts castle and contains thousands upon thousands of books. The space is divided into many specific sections, including the Restricted Section–a roped off area which requires a signed note from a professor to access. As far as we know, the librarian is the stern Madam Irma Pince. Additionally, the library is the site of quite a lot of significant moments and discoveries for Harry, Ron, and Hermione during their time at Hogwarts; it's clearly a cool place to hang out–or at least a good place to conduct research on dark secrets and even darker magic. After all, as Ron so wisely states in his description of Hermione's particular approach to problems, "When in doubt, go to the library."

Documentaries for Teens: Varieties of Teen Experiences
Documentaries are sometimes overlooked forms of media for both education and for entertainment. They cover all types of subject matter and can tell intimate, moving stories. This series focuses on documentaries that may appeal to teens, and each installment will focus on a particular theme. This month, we're highlighting documentaries that capture modern teen experiences from around the world.
This documentary is an "examination of challenges, hopes and dreams of the young residents of a rural American town." It focuses on the lives of three young men and their everyday lives.

Fandom 101: K-pop and K-drama
YALSA-bk is a listserv with lively discussions among librarians, educators, and beyond about all things YA lit. Sometimes one listserv member will ask a question of the group and others will provide feedback. This post is a compilation of responses for one such request.
Staying up with trends and interests of teen patrons is crucial to providing up-to-date collections and developing programs that will capture the attention of a teen audience. While teens are a great resources and will likely be happy to discuss their latest obsession at length, it's also helpful to consult other resources to get a primer on a trend. Here at The Hub, we want to make it easier, so we're introducing our Fandom 101 series.
A recent request on the YALSA-bk listserv caught my attention because it was asking for resources that would serve as an introduction to K-pop and K-drama for library staff who were unfamiliar with the culture and genre surrounding Korean music and movies but had teens in their library who were enthusiastic fans and wanted to start a club devoted to all things K-pop. These are some resources helpful members of the YA and library communities suggested as places to begin. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

From Page to Screen Review: Insurgent
The second entry into the planned four part film series that is adapting our favorite Veronica Roth source material, known as the Divergent trilogy, has finally arrived. Insurgent made its debut last weekend amidst mixed reviews (31% rotten according to critics, 71% liked among fans) but still managed to top the box office with an estimated $54.03 million. Now the question that we are all clamoring for, how did the new director do with our beloved series' second book? Let's break it down by the top three questions that I get every time someone asks me about my thoughts of a book-to-movie adaptation.
Was it entertaining?
The film was entertaining, and it was very enjoyable as a fan of the series. The simulation sequences were action packed and intense. They were definitely created to be viewed in 3D, but you're probably not missing too much if you're cheap like me. Probably one of the best sequences is the first Dauntless simulation where Tris is fighting to get to her mother who is trapped in a rotating, burning box. This was probably the most visually interesting sequence, the one that managed not to go too over the top, and one of the few simulation scenes that didn't feel like it was overtly pandering to the 3D technology.
And most importantly when it comes to entertainment, have no fear shippers, the relationship between Tris and Four is still squee-worthy in this installment. There are some weird moments that happen concerning our central couple, one that involves a dream and Four's mother to be specific, but aside from that the filmmakers really focus on how much these two trust and love each other. It's pretty stinking adorable.

The DUFF: Book to Movie
I rarely see the movie version of a book before I've read the book. That's because the book is usually better than the movie it's based on. But, I ended up seeing the movie version of Kody Keplinger's The DUFF (2011 Top Ten Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers) at a sneak-preview last week in NYC. I hadn't yet read the book. I'd had a copy of the galley for years but just hadn't had the opportunity to read it and I'd just given that galley away recently, too. I was probably one of the few people at the preview who hadn't read the book. So, I bought the paperback copy & quickly read it in preparation for writing this blog. But, as I know you've all heard too often, as of a few days ago, I could honestly say, "No, I haven't read the book, but I have seen the movie."
Here's the official trailer for the film.

From Page to Screen: Mockingjay Part 1
You know it's the end of November because, as anticipated, the latest installment of our beloved Hunger Games films was released this past weekend. November might never be the same after Mockingjay Part 2 comes out next year. What will YA lit lovers do when our beloved trilogy, which has become a four part film franchise, is all over? Thankfully we have another year before we have to really think about such things, so let's get to the task at hand and talk about the first installment of Mockingjay.
Mockingjay Part 1 landed into our film watching universe this past Friday making quite the splash with the year's biggest film opening weekend, earning a whopping $123 million. Even with the impressive feat of the year's biggest opening, this is actually the lowest the franchise has performed. To be fair, Catching Fire set a really high bar for these last two films in the franchise, because not only was it critically acclaimed but it was fan approved and a moneymaker. So why the "light" opening? Is this more of the feared YA lit-to-movie fatigue people seem to be so nervous about? Probably not. Mockingjay is controversial for most fans of the Hunger Games trilogy and there is almost always a love it or hate it quality to the final book in a series. Also, it was the biggest weekend of the year! Not too shabby, even if it is the lowest opening yet for one the Hunger Games films.
It's always fascinating to watch all of the excitement and hype leading up to these movies. There was a lot of chatter about the decision to make this final book into two movies and a lot of discussion around how to keep the final, most violent book PG-13 appropriate. So with all of that in mind, how did the filmmakers do with Mockingjay Part 1?
Continue reading From Page to Screen: Mockingjay Part 1

If 1,000 years are one day, then 10,000 years are one hour! The Haus der Geschichte's permanent exhibition lets you decide for yourself how quickly you move through time, and choose your own route according to what interests you most. You can familiarize yourself in no time at all with the most important historical events in Lower Austria's history in relation to its neighboring regions. However, you can also select specific topic areas in the exhibition or gaze at the many - some never before shown - rarities from Lower Austria's collections and try out the different educational offerings: interactive stations, forums on topical debates or a visitors' parliament.
The permanent exhibition forms the central part of the Haus der Geschichte. It presents Lower Austria's history in both its Austrian and central European context/relationships in an exciting, contemporary way and with strong reference to current societal developments. Thus, in the sense of an "Exhibition in Progress", the latest research findings and current events will regularly be incorporated.
Thematic, longitudinal sections constitute important design and structural elements. Their aim is to provide an opportunity to engage in detail with specific historical aspects and to extensively examine these for any discontinuities and contradictions. The advantage is that developments are not perceived as isolated but interconnected events, even if they sometimes don't proceed at the same time. Emphasis is placed on factors that reverberate to the present day and that lend themselves to raising awareness of current political, economic or societal situations.
This is why the permanent exhibition is not structured strictly according to epochs, years or dates. Rather, it is based on themes and questions that still preoccupy us as much today as they did people many centuries ago: how territories were settled, how they came by their administration, why immigration and emigration are not modern phenomena, how and why some people and groups were able to exert power over others and how this power was challenged again and again, what feeling of belonging is behind the creation of regions, ethnic groups and nations, how technical inventions over the centuries have changed society. In the last third of the tour, the spotlight is on the political conflicts and excesses of totalitarian power in the first half of the 20th century, but also on the most significant technical, social and political achievements since the end of the Second World War. The permanent exhibition closes with a view on the near future, namely the central European community and Lower Austria's – and Austria's – role in it.

Berber lucks out and starts the final round which sees three thefts, of just the edible treats. Mya ends up stuck with a free bath which she kind of needs.
The additional rule we play with in MathWorks Application Engineering is that each gift can only be swapped three times before it's safe. That allows us engineers to further strategize how to secure the six pack instead of the MATLAB membrane socks. Of course, Kenai really wants me to pick those.

How do I get a pair of MATLAB socks??
Hi Ryan, Those were a novelty thing at one of our Winter Celebrations a few years ago. I checked with fulfillment and unfortunately they don't have any more (which I guess increases the value of existing pairs?!).


My family and I spent much of the summer in Texas. It was our first visit to the Lone Star state, as well as our very first encounter with a Tropical Hurricane. We had the opportunity to stay in Austin (state capital) for a few months, and it was quite the experience! The timing also happen to coincide with hurricane season. It had been a few years since any major one had made landfall on the continental USA, and it looked as though Mother Nature was attempting to make up for it.
Hurricane Harvey, which arrived at the end of August, was a Category 5 Storm, and ended up dumping on the state something in the range of 33 trillion gallons of water. Click here if you also have difficulty trying to picture how much water that is. Fortunately for us, the hurricane itself did not make it all the way up to Austin, but it did make for a very wet and enlightening experience.
The storm brought with it an immense quantity of water. We're talking copious amounts of water over a very short interval, which ultimately resulted in considerable danger and devastation. In the US, many had just witnessed on tv what Hurricane Irma had done to the Caribbean, and there was certainly a sense of urgency and preparation.
Those who could get out of the storm's impending path did, but the vast majority stayed where they lived and prepared as best they could. The shelves at our local big box stores were heavily stocked with water and emergency supplies, and yours truly and company did what we could to ensure we had what we needed.
Houston, Texas was hit especially bad (image courtesy of the Associated Press). Click the photo for more details from the Houston Chronicle.
Basically it rained for several days straight, with strong winds battering down buildings and knocking around vehicles and structures. The rain carried away what it could, as the rivers in the surrounding areas reached record highs. Once again, the direct correlation with climate change was clearly evident.
We know from simple thermodynamics, that as temperatures increase, this will put forth more water into the atmosphere. Scientists have surmised that for every one degree (C) increase in temperature, there is a corresponding 7 percent increase in the amount of water. Super-storms like Harvey are precisely what the climate scientists have been warning us about.
My little one & I visiting the Texas State Capital.
Despite the warnings, political action has been tepid at best. At least at a state level. However, cities in Texas have been stepping up to adopt renewables (see Georgetown example). There are also some brilliant organizations that I had the opportunity to discover while there, including: Public Citizen Texas, the Texas Campaign for the Environment, Environment Texas, and the Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services (TEJAS).
Texas is absolutely gorgeous! It's no wonder that there are plenty of dedicated people out there, trying to conserve its natural beauty by protecting it from unsustainable policies and poor political leadership. It is however a hard fight. Battle lines in the states are increasing drawn between Red/Blue, Republican & Democrat, regardless of the fact that climate change is scientifically objective and should be a non-partisan issue (see A Fierce Green Fire). My hope is that Texans' love for their home state will eventually translate towards greater sustainability awareness.
Before all the heavy rains at the end of our stay, my son and I did a lot of exploring. What we discovered together was that most people we met were really quite sweet and reflective of the southern hospitality we so often heard about. Of course, there are certain apprehensions as a Canadian visiting the US, particularly Texas, when it comes to the proliferation of firearms.
Thankfully, guns are strongly regulated in Canada, so it's certainly surprising to see some walking around openly carrying a firearm to go to the grocery store. And yes, there were a number of shootings across the state in the short time we were there, but we hardly saw any gun-toting citizens out in Austin.
Austin really is a special case! It was seen as a kind of hippie town, different from the rest of the state. There are still some cowboys to be sure, but more of the liberal pot-smoking kind. Over time, as a result of its uniqueness within Texas, more and more people decided to move there. The influx has been transforming it into one the fastest growing cities in the US for several years now. Despite the rapid changes however, Austinites are still dedicated to keeping it weird.
Strangeness aside, its natural environment also has a lot to offer. The urban area's proximity to nature is certainly attractive to those who appreciate the outdoors. In addition, its growing tech sector (dubbed the Silicon Hills), provides flexible opportunities for those who want to maintain their work-life balance. There are those that refer to Austin as a little slice of California in Texas, but it remains unmistakable Texan.
Downtown Austin nestled by Lady Bird Lake (Colorado River).
Part of what makes Austin and the surrounding countryside so desirable is the abundance of water. The city itself borders the eastern region of an area know as the Texas Hill Country, a luscious geographical zone known for its granite and limestone hills, and its multitude of flowing streams.
In short, the city's history is closely intertwined with its relationship to water. I personally think it still is. The water provides Austin and the surrounding area with a generous supply with which to source its many delicious craft beers (Austin is considered a craft beer powerhouse). It also offers plenty of sweet spots to cool off with dip or maybe try out paddle-boarding (its a popular activity there).
It being Texas, summers do get scorching hot! So the nearby water system of lakes and and rivers are all the more welcome. As an added bonus, it also provides plenty of opportunity for family fun activities. Aside from the hurricanes then, the collection of nearby springs offers yet another way of getting soaked during a Texan summer.
My family and I were fortunate in our experience, and charmed by our discoveries. Austin is remarkable for it's food, abundance of live music, wonderful craft beers, and gorgeous countryside. Ultimately though, my wife and I agreed that it was the people there that constituted the best part of our stay. I realize how cheesy that may sound as I write it, but it's sincere. We were pleasantly surprised by how friendly and hospitable every one was, and it totally enhanced our stay.
Although our summer ended with one of the most massive storms ever recorded, it did not dampen our impressions. We had a really nice time there, and hope that more people will recognize the need for sustainable practices and work to protect the natural beauty and social treasures that make up the Texas state.
I would definitely encourage you to visit, if and when you can! Keep in mind that hurricane season kicks off in June and Texas is known to flood (as described by local icon Stevie Ray Vaughan below). In time, hopefully we can come together before climate disasters strike and work to reduce our impact on climate change's fearsome acceleration.


There is a long history of Civilization board games, from a 1980 title that kinda inspired the video game series to plenty of variations (in 2002 and 2010) that have in flip been primarily based on the video video games. If you want to see a show that talks about board games, there's All the time Be Rolling, which does precisely that. Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce Fallout , a put up-nuclear journey board recreation based on Bethesda's blockbuster video game sequence.
A whole bunch of latest video games are launched at Gen Con annually. To triumph, gamers must discover harmful places, uncover and defeat enemies, and collect gear and treasures earlier than finally dealing with the boss in an epic combat to the dying. With your folks and thousands of gamers from the entire world.
A player holds toy money while preventing for supremacy on a 'Monopoly' game board throughout the ultimate of the German Monopoly Championships in Berlin in 2015. 27 to binge-watch season 2, Hasbro has three new "Stranger Things" video games that should liven up any recreation night.
And they provide a retro, actual-time reference to different folks, says Paul Booth, a professor of media and cinema studies at DePaul College and the writer of Game Play: Paratextuality in Modern Board Games. Arms-on interactives and the chance to grow to be part of one big interactive game directs you around the exhibition, and invites you to consider game taking part in experiences and what sort of participant you're.
The Fallout franchise has long illustrated the idea that it's not in regards to the vacation spot, but the journey, and successful this sport is sure to take you on a wild adventure in kind. Because of the developers at Fantasy Flight Video games, that's precisely what we're getting: The Fallout board recreation from Fantasy Flight Games is on the best way, and I had an opportunity to take a seat down and play it for the very first time.
