Today, many high school strength coaches have been known to force training techniques through repetition when it comes to an athlete not being able to complete a lift. Either with proper or improper technique, repetitive movement with overexertion can become damaging, not only physically, but mentally as well. We as coaches must acknowledge and understand that coaching athlete's with a training age of zero (Block Zero) "PATIENCE" is a key component to being able to get the best out of young athletes. There should be a realization that there is not a time limit on strength gains at this level, and there will not be any expectations of knowledge or experience. The purpose of this article is to give strength and conditioning coaches another perspective of how to implement a Block Zero program into their methodology. Our goal is to give you an overview of how we progress our athletes when they enter our program.
From the middle school age (11-14 years old) through the high school development (ages 14-18 years old) the implementation of an introductory strength training program should not have massive variation. The vulnerability of a novice trainee obtaining an injury from improper technique is highly likely as repetition needs to be emphasized. The number one focus of strength training is injury prevention. I believe we sometimes miss that point. As you introduce athletes to strength training, "slow and steady" should be the training motto. Holistically speaking, core training and hip mobility are undervalued by many at this training stage and should be prioritized. Prior to any lifting, core stabilization is our primary focus. Whether we are emphasizing rotation or stabilization, core training is our number one focus during each training session.
Our first strength phase of Block Zero is bodyweight dominant until further instructed. The athlete's duration of the bodyweight program will be determined by the coach. Athletic positioning is taught first followed by landing and jumping mechanics. Athletic positioning not only puts the kids at an advantage for sport but for advancing movements and lifts as well. Jumping not only teaches the athletes how to apply force through the ground, but it allows them to get an advantage on lifts that they will progress to such as deadlifts and squats. As training progresses, your athletes may notice that many of the lifts may lead to or even coincide with the next.
Introductory week (Week 1) – gives the coach a week to introduce the foundation that will be instilled so the athletes can begin proper technique development. The basic fundamentals of athletic positioning and core training are taught.
Base week 1 (Week 2) – opens the opportunity for utilizing external load by auto-regulation while volume may increase from the introductory week. As mentioned earlier, if the athlete is not ready to progress you have the ability to regulate what happens, it is easy to increase the volume without ramping the weight.
Base week 2 (Week 3) – typically, this is the first week where you will start to reap the benefits of your coaching. This is where you may see the athletes looking strong and stable in specific lifts and may even ask to utilize weights for these lifts. The volume is moderate, because this is a point in time where your progression needs to start advancing to allow proper strength gains.
Base to Load 1(Week 4) – Athletes may show the proper improvements to start advancing to different lifts. Although it is still listed as a load week, you may still have a few athletes that are not showing the proper strength gains needed to have an additional load, so we still keep a base week quantity with a moderate to high volume.
Base to Load 2 (Week 5) – the final week of the cycle. During this week, you as a coach have to make a decision if your athlete(s) are ready to transition into the next progression of lifts. You may have athletes who need an additional week of this introductory cycle.
NOTE: Remember; as a coach, we have the ultimate say so in auto-regulating the cycle. If an extra week of athletic positioning and bodyweight training is needed, keep the athlete at the proper week of the introductory cycle. PATIENCE!
As we reinvent the mindset of strength training, never allow pride to detour us from our ultimate goal in this field. Start with a positive goal in mind and stay true to it. Our number one priority should be our athletes and injury prevention, not trying to out lift our fellow strength coach's athletes to prove a point. Large strength numbers are irrelevant at this level, especially if athletes are injured or ruined by improper technique because of our number chasing.

THE CONDOR FLIES OVER THE HIMALAYAS: MAGICAL REALISM IN TIBET
Modern Tibetan literature started in the late 1970s, when China was opening up to the West after the death of Mao Zedong. One of the first literary styles modern Tibetan writers experimented with was magical realism, which helped them negotiate censorship in China, explore their own contested ethnic identity, and become "citizens of the world." Ethnically and culturally hybrid Tibetan writers found in magical realism the means to portray their own hybridity, and an ideologically complex Tibetan reality. However, even Tibetan writers in China who consider themselves "true Tibetans" nowadays use this style. I explore the reasons why magical realism emerged and thrived in the ever-changing socio-political landscape of modern Tibet.

AN ETHNIC PETTING ZOO
Since 1989 Habsburg Galicia has fueled renewed interest among scholars of nationalism, ethnicity, and colonialism. To probe imperial Austria's openness to inspirations from the tributary culture of Ruthenia (now Ukraine), I reviewed the 1890-1910 Viennese print media for coverage of Ukrainian intellectual production. To my disappointment, Vienna's interest in Eastern Galicia fell quite short of a mutual intellectual exchange, favoring folklore and readily comprehensible literature that presented social issues of the destitute province. Both these cultural expressions align well with the colonial habit of exoticizing the other and the need to justify the colonial rule as a civilizing mission.

WEST GERMAN GENRE CINEMA IN THE "LONG 1968"
This presentation explores the relationship between politics and genre filmmaking in West Germany between 1967 and 1973. While most scholarship focuses on the directors who later became associated with the New German Cinema—the internationally renowned art cinema movement in the 1970s and early 1980s—my project examines lesser-known genre films that were deemed unworthy of critical attention. These works represent the global anti-authoritarian revolt in and around 1968 beyond its explicitly (left) political dimensions, and reveal the mutual interdependence of pop culture and politics at the time. Challenging the old antinomies of the "popular" and the "political," they prompt us to expand our understanding of the West German "1968."

TRANSPARENT, FLUENT, READABLE: INGEBORG BACHMANN'S PROSE IN ENGLISH
This presentation examines the English translations of Ingeborg Bachmann's prose from the early 1980s through the early 2000s. My research draws on Bachmann scholarship, translation studies, and personal interviews with American translators of Bachmann. My analysis identifies parallels between the rewriting Bachmann's prose undergoes in translation and the shifts in US views on Austrian and feminist literature since the 1980s. I show that (1) US translators view Bachmann's Austrianness and her feminist proposition as mutually exclusive; (2) the translators struggle with Bachmann's ideologically charged intertextual irony because it is incompatible with their notion of Bachmann as a modernist poet.
ON FOOT IN THE LONG EIGHTEENTH CENTURY
The experience of walking as a way to encounter the world dramatically changed over the course of the long eighteenth century. Deriving from the pastime of "promenade," a practice that found its most ritualized installment in Louis XIV's court, this primarily aesthetic occupation turns into an experiential activity when it looses its affinity with the spectacle and shifts its focus from the public as constitutive of the "promenade" to the body and its senses as integral to the experience of movement and apperception. The "promenade" is externally determined by the presence of a public and reflects taste as it varied with time, while walking, bypassing the socio-aesthetic dimension, would turn one's gaze inwards and allow for the inner self to apprehend its environment outright.

COLD WAR FILE STORIES: ASPECTS OF HERTA MÜLLER'S FILE STORY
Files have the potential of generating tangled life stories that still need to be unearthed. Researchers are confronted with fragmented, often embellished, other times conflicting accounts of life stories collated between two grayish covers of secret police files that I call "file stories." The file itself becomes the focus of the analysis in the context of life writing, viewed through the eyes of the Securitate (communist Romania's secret police) and its network of informers, and strewn over many volumes and hundreds of pages. The precarious and capricious collages obtained offer compelling file stories, as is the case of the Nobel laureate Herta Müller, whose work focuses almost exclusively on Ceausescu's Romania.

LATIN AMERICAN POETIC MOVEMENTS IN THE POETRY OF ELENA GARRO
Elena Garro's lyric work was discovered and published posthumously. This research analyzes her poetry gathered and published in Elena en la Intimidad (2009) and in Cristales de Tiempo: poesías inéditas (2016). Three Latin American poetic movements were identified in her poetry: surrealismo, realismo socialista and anti poesía. This suggests that her poetry must have been originally written between 1940 and 1980. This is an effort to reinsert her lyric work to the history of Latin American women writers of the 20th century

HORACIO QUIROGA AND THE NECROGRAPHICAL ILLUSION
Horacio Quiroga's readers are often inclined to link the deaths plaguing his fiction with the tragedies that haunted his life. Borrowing from Pierre Bourdieu's critique of biography as a genre marked by the illusion of progress, this essay examines the problematic relationship between life and fiction in Quiroga's reception. Rather than Bourdieu's "biographical illusion," a necrographical one has permeated highbrow cultural expressions––biographies and academic articles––as well as more popular forms dealing with the Uruguayan author. By analyzing three films made for television in the last 30 years––Horacio Quiroga: entre personas y personaje (1987), Historia Clínica: Horacio Quiroga: "La muerte lo eligió a él, él eligió cuándo" (2012) and Horacio Quiroga, el desterrado (2014)––I show how they reproduce a reading practice centered on turning death into the only framework capable of making sense of his life and work.

PORTRAITS AND SELF-FASHIONING IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY SPAIN
Portraits of the Spanish writer and reformer the Marquesa de Fuerte-Híjar (1761-1821) and her two husbands, read in the context of her life and work, reveal the negotiation of private and public roles by families and individuals. Her portrait portrays her as a young, orphaned heiress, a small jewel involved in a traditional domestic, marital exchange, while her husbands' portraits foreground their professional identities. Fuerte-Híjar describes in a will a miniature portrait of herself inlaid on a mother-of-pearl box that she bequeaths to her deceased husband's friend. This ekphrastic portrait reveals her deliberate self-fashioning within the intimacy of domestic love and close friendship that she enjoyed in late-Enlightenment Spain.
Cathy Jaffe, Professor
MEDIATING MATERIALITY: DEMAND, DESIRE AND THE COMMON GOOD
My project considers descriptions of and reactions to wealth creation, materiality and consumerism in Spanish-American literary production during the late nineteenth to mid twentieth centuries. The nexus between these economic realities and the texts reveals cultural responses that help to understand both the form these economic realities have taken in Spanish America, and the distinctive Spanish American "accommodations" used to understand, accept, or explain them. The topic stems from my earlier research into archaeological discovery and literature, and about how literature can be used to enrich curricula in language for specific purposes (LSP) and how certain LSP topics can inform literary research.
Margaret Dunaway, Senior Lecturer
MESSIANIC VISIONS FROM THE CHIMBORAZO: AN ANDEAN POETICS OF BOLIVARIANISMO
For devotees of Simón Bolívar, My Delirium on Chimborazo constitutes the revelation of both individual and national truth as it takes place on the heights of the Andes; the Chimborazo appears as a physical and allegorical space that allows Bolívar to feel the sublimity of his reason. However, doubts concerning the authenticity of the text arouse the skepticism of historians that threatens Bolívar's messianism. The text thus fluctuates between canonical and apocryphal, and this discursive liminality turns it into a divinely inspired message. Taking into account the religious discourse surrounding My Delirium, my presentation analyzes textual readings and visual representations that together consolidate an image of Bolívar as both messianic leader and producer of sacred texts.
REAL OR ARTIFICIAL LINGUISTIC BORDERS: MOZARABS AND MUDEJARS
Borders are misleading as they suggest that the peoples on either side of the border were homogeneous when, in fact, there was a great amount of diversity and they were not united under one flag, political structure, or identity. Those working on Medieval Spain know that despite a red line on a map each region's history is often treated individually, almost as if it were an island whose circumstances are so unique that they cannot be compared to any other. Medieval Iberian languages are often treated in a similar manner. They have come to be known as belonging to particular peoples, such as Mozarabic–only being used by Mozarabs. Language, however, is not bound by geo-political borders, nor is it bound necessarily by identity. The question becomes then, how do we break down these political and constructed borders to unfold how languages were used across communities rather than within a particular one?
Yasmine Beale-Rivaya, Associate Professor
LOST CINEMATIC CHILDHOODS IN BUENOS AIRES: THE TEARS OF MY MOTHER (2008) AND THE DAY I WAS NOT BORN (2010)
Georg Simmel defines a stranger as a person who "comes today and stays tomorrow." Strangers are not confined by customs or traditions; they are free agents in praxis and in theory. Due to a special point of view, they are able to examine the social conditions with less prejudice, and they are more objective than local residents. Simmel's description suits Maria, the young German protagonist who visits Buenos Aires in Florian Cossen's film The Day I was not Born. Suffice it to say, not everyone shares Simmel's rather positive definition of the stranger's plight. As I will argue, the plight of the non-conformist émigré suits Carlos, the father of the protagonist in Alejandro Cardenas Amelio's The Tears of my Mother.
Ulrich Bach, Associate Professor
TYPOLOGICAL AND DIACHRONIC ANALYSIS OF TIME MISMATCH
Subordinate clauses with future time reference often feature verb forms that are not morphologically encoded as future. I examine patterns of morphological encoding in Romance and Greek subordinate clauses with future time reference, including IF-clauses, WHEN-clauses, and UNLESS-clauses. This analysis requires the examination of interactions among tense, aspect, and mood, which reveals a degree of arbitrary patterning that results in part from distinct diachronic changes in the different languages. For example, the contrast between Spanish and Portuguese in the use of Present Subjunctive and the Future Subjunctive in IF- and WHEN-clauses reflects the loss of the Future Subjunctive in normal Spanish usage, but this loss does not explain the contrast between IF- and UNLESS-clauses, despite the tendency to view UNLESS-clauses as equivalents of IF…NOT-clauses. This typological and diachronic analysis contributes to a greater understanding of the kinds of morphological mismatch that some languages show in such clauses.
Matthew L. Juge, Associate Professor
A NEW LOOK FOR OPHELIA IN THE CULTURAL PRODUCTION OF SPAIN
Since the 1970s Ophelia is enjoying a remarkable resurgence in literature, drama and the visual arts. Feminist critics, most notably Elaine Showalter, placed Ophelia at the center of a discussion of gender, and this focus is the principal impetus of her revival. As the historical embodiment of demeaning patriarchal constructs, Ophelia hardly seems appealing to feminists and post-feminists, but turn-of-the-millennium writers and artist of Spain dust off Ophelia precisely because her debilitating entrapment is an invitation to change her look and cast her in new roles. The ideology of old myths may tarnish but their value as cultural currency remains vibrant in the collective imagination.
Sharon Ugalde, Professor
LEARNER AUTONOMY AND SELF-ACCESS-CENTERS
SLL (Second Language Learner) Autonomy is an SLA (Second Language Acquisition) concept that I researched at UT when I was doing my Foreign Language Education Master's in 2012. Learner autonomy is generally regarded as the ability to take charge of one's own learning. In my first year as a French lecturer at Texas State University, I have been experimenting with my students on how to foster SLL autonomy through extra credit activities. I would like to expand on this success and start a SAC (Self-Access Center). This SAC would benefit all language students and the department as a whole.
Florence Lemoine, Lecturer
INCEST AND SOVEREIGNTY IN LITERATURE
This presentation will discuss the notion that incest seems to be the Sovereign's constant prerogative throughout history. This idea was suggested by the collusion of two theoretical lines of thought: Derrida's erasure between nature and culture represented by incest, and Agamben's concept of homo sacer. Both the Sovereign and the criminal share a double aporetic status as homines sacri, which is also a condition of incest itself. The exception that characterizes this figure places him outside and inside Law and nature at the same time. La vida es sueño (Life is a Dream), a 17th century Spanish play by Calderón, will be used as an example of how incest is appropriated by the homo sacer as a sign or stigmata of his own state of exception.
Luis Alfredo Intersimone, Assistant Professor
REMEDIAL LIFE STORIES: "SUSANNE FINK"
While scholars agree that victim files are a form of biography, few have addressed the informant files in the context of life writing. By introducing the term "remedial life writing," this presentation will focus on German-Romanian informants, especially on the compelling story of Marianne Siegmund. Under the code name "Susanne Fink," she was instrumental in providing (mis)information to the Romanian Secret Police on German-Romanians involved in the "Black Church Trial" of 1958. What emerges from Siegmund's file is a compelling narrative that is at once a love story, a Briefroman, a detective and spy story, a story about a dysfunctional family, a love triangle, seduction, sex, and betrayal behind the Iron Curtain. It is also a revealing document about the tactics of the Securitate, its strategies for recruiting West German spies, its well-thought-out scenarios, and the extent to which "technical operations" (bugging) were employed in the 1950s by the Romanian Secret Police.

10 Famous Organ Players and their Organ Performance (Great Organist)
Famous Organ Players
A lot of individuals associate the organ with liturgical or religious purposes. However, the organ has the capacity to function in an array of non-lethal settings such as in classical, jazz and rock music. As a matter of fact, the pipe organ is sometimes referred to as the emperor of keyboard music or the king of instruments.
The organ has grown by leaps and bounds since it was used in the gladiatorial games in Rome. Thanks to its great variety of tone, its unique sound combinations, as well as its versatility, the number of organ players and organ enthusiasts have increased in the past few decades.
In various classic rock subgenres, the organ has proved instrumental in expanding the sonic palette of rock music in the all the best ways. Every famous organist, from the church organist to the classical jazz or rock organist is an acknowledged master that has ensured that the instrument will be forever etched in music legacy. To honor them, here are the 10 famous organ players (in no particular order).
10 Famous Organ Players You Should Know
Charles-Marie Widor is by far one of the most formidable and recognizable organists of the 19th and 20th centuries. Case in point, during his lifetime, he served as an organist of Saint-Sulpice in Paris, which was the most prestigious position an organist could hold in France. Widor is responsible for some of the most significant contributions to the organ repertoire and he extensively toured all over the world as a result. As a teacher, his students in Paris such as Luis Vierne, Marcel Dupré, as well as Darius Milhaud also subsequently became revered composers and organists in their own right.
The Renaissance man and certified genius Albert Schweitzer was one of Charles-Marie Widor's many students. Aside from being an ardent organist, he was also a renowned theologian that received the Nobel Peace Prize for his philosophies in Christianity in 1952. He also reformed and heavily influenced the formation of the Organ Reform Movement, as well as mastering the music of fellow German composer Johann Bach.
Olivier Messiaen was a fervent Roman Catholic that was selected organist at La Trinité Church in Paris when he was only 22 years old. His early compositions and improvisations gave rise to new ways of utilizing the instrument that made compositions a lot more rhythmically complex. He was well known in the Paris music scene as an organist, composer, and educator and he inspired thousands to follow in his footsteps.
Marie-Claire Alain
When people think of world famous organists, one of the very first names that pops up is Marie-Claire Alain's. Widely regarded as one of the finest organists of the mid 20th century, she was a pioneer in the application of organic principles thanks to more than the 260 organ recordings she made in her lifetime. Aside from being an admired performer and composer, Marie-Claire Alain was also a teacher. Some of her notable students included Daniel Roth and the incomparable Thomas Trotter. Among her top distinctions, she was also a commandeur of the Ordre National du Merité.
Lonnie Smith
Lonnie Smith is one of the better-known American jazz Hammond B3 organists today. He was known for releasing a couple of backbeat tracks during the late 1960s and early 1970s that defined his genre. Lonnie Smith built his reputation alongside other musical greats such as George Benson. Smith is famed for his interpretations of songs by other artists like Aretha Franklin.
Jimmy Smith is unquestionably one of the biggest and most famous organ stars of the 60s. he is credited with releasing more than 100 eponymous records and he gained enough fame from these records to establish his own club located in North Hollywood. In the 60s, he helped to define the Hammond sound alongside other great instrumentalists of his time.
Historically, the jazz organ scene has always been dominated by male composers and performers. However, Shirley Scott managed to engrave a name for herself in the corridors of jazz history owing to her incredible organ playing skills. In the 60s, she was anointed the queen of the organ and was hailed for her self-titled albums, many of which she made with her organist husband Turrentine Stanley. She is mainly remembered for her 1958 hit "In the Kitchen which she created with the tenor sax maestro Eddie Lockjaw Davis.
Reuben Wilson
Reuben Wilson made a name for himself in the 1960s thanks to his hit albums that were released under Blue Note Records. He is celebrated for his acid jazz and soul jazz compositions but his most popular single is Got to Get Your Own. In addition to composing, he also the lead singer of Wildare Express and he remains an active performer to this day.
Brother Jack McDuff
Brother Jack McDuff was a popular American jazz organist and band leader that gained fame in the early 60s. His primary choice of instrument was the Hammond B-3 that he used to publish countless albums with notable jazz recording labels like Prestige and Blue Note Records. He also produced music under one of the most popular black-owned labels, Sugar Hill Records, which was then owned by Soul start Sylvia Robinson, which helped to elevate his status further.
John DeFrancesco
John DeFrancesco helped to bring about a resurgence of the Hammond organ. He first became popular in the Philadelphia jazz circles. Also commonly known as Papa John, DeFrancesco played the organ in the bop style. Some of his most popular hits include Hip Cake Walk which was released in 2001 and A Philadelphia Story.

You are here: Water 101 Lakes Chemical Characteristics
Chemical Characteristics of Lakes
Each lake's chemistry is unique to that lake. The watershed, atmosphere and the lake bottom all affect the chemistry of a lake. Therefore the chemical make-up of a lake is affected by its climate and its basin geology. Humans also have the capability to greatly affect lakes chemistry through the input of nutrients and toxic substances that wash into the lake through stormwater runoff.
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is organic material from plants and animals broken down into such a small size that it is "dissolved" into water.
DOC created by the decomposition of leaves and woody debris that have fallen around or in water are termed humic. This plant material is slowly broken down by organisms into very small particles that are dissolved into water. Yellow to black in color, this humic type of DOC is the most abundant kind found in lakes and streams and can have a great influence on water color.
Dissolved oxygen is a major component of lake chemistry as it affects many aspects of a lake's ecology. The amount of dissolved oxygen in the water is an important indicator of overall lake health.
Oxygen is supplied to a lake by:
Photosynthesis of aquatic plants, including algae
The slow diffusion of atmospheric oxygen
The concentration of dissolved oxygen determines the type of organisms that live in a lake. For example, trout need high concentrations of dissolved oxygen to survive, while other species are more tolerant of low or variable levels of dissolved oxygen.
Mixing of water, aided by wind, distributes oxygen throughout a lake's water column. Cold water can hold more oxygen than warm water. A lake will normally have the capacity to hold more oxygen during the winter than during the summer.
As plankton die and sink to the bottom of the lake nutrients are redistributed. The vertical movement of plankton also affects where nutrients lie.
Nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, typically increase in the spring from snow melt runoff and spring turnover. During periods with low nutrient concentrations, any additional increase in nutrients into the upper water column may trigger an algae bloom.
Phosphorus is the nutrient that limits plant and algae growth in the lakes in Muskoka. Natural sources of phosphorus include wetlands and precipitation. When larger quantities of phosphorus are introduced to a lake from human sources, algae blooms may result. Human sources of phosphorus include septic systems, fertilizers, agriculture and sewage treatment systems.

This organic pu-erh tea is composed of a select grade of pu-erh compressed into a small birds' nest shape. Its inky brown infusion is rich and sweetly-flavored, with mineral earthiness and the characteristic musty aroma. Our mini tuo cha uses a higher grade of organic tea than most, resulting in a big body and smooth finish. It hails from the Jing Mai Mangjing region of China's southwestern Yunnan province, made from the antique tea trees found there, and uses the Shu Cha or "cooked" method of manufacture whereby the pu-erh undergoes an additional oxidation step that speeds-up the aging process and improves in taste over time. Each mini tuo cha is individually wrapped and perfect for a small teapot or can be broken apart to accommodate a single serving. Like most pu-erh, one mini tuo cha of this organic Chinese tea can be steeped multiple times. Don't forget to remove the wrapping before the tea is steeped.
"I have been won over by the world of Pu Erh! I can't get enough and I love the darker, deeper earthy flavor of this one. Definitely worth re-steeping at least once."
"This pu-erh is such a treat, it's like opening a tiny present every time you unwrap one."
"Can be brewed almost indefinitely without becoming astringent! A good choice for coffee drinkers switching to tea - it has a similar richness and mouth feel to coffee."
For more information about the health benefits of pu erh and other types of tea, and for direct sources of the above information, check out our Health Benefits of True Tea page!

Former Hampstead Garden Suburb mansion of exiled King Constantine II is on the market for £10.95 million

The former mansion of exiled King Constantine II of Greece has been put on the market for over £10 million in Hampstead Garden Suburb
One of the features of the property is its swimming pool - Credit: Archant
The home on Linnell Drive, is near The Bishops Avenue, otherwise known as "Billionaires' Avenue" due to its hugely wealthy residents.
It features a master bedroom with dressing room, en suite, bathroom and balcony, 12 further bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a large garden and a swimming pool.
Planning permission has also been given for a substantial extension and leisure floor which would provide more than 18,000 square foot of accommodation.

King Constantine lived in the property for 46 years after he was ousted from power in 1967 as part of a military coup.
Tatoi Palace, his home in Greece, was seized after the abolition of the monarchy and subsequently put up for sale in 2013.
The interior of the property reportedly needs re-modelling - Credit: Archant
Godfather to Prince William and first cousin to Prince Charles, Constantine frequently hosted glamorous parties with the royals in his Hampstead residence, but he and his wife permanently returned to Greece two years ago.
Trevor Abrahmsohn, managing director of Glentree estate agents who are selling the property, said: "I used to live round the corner from the home. We often used to see Princess Diana in the Mercedes convertible which Charles forbade her to buy and Prince William and Harry were often at parties there."
Bishops Avenue is known for being an area popular with the Greek community and Abrahmsohn said that the house, as with others in the area, was reflective of the Grecian demeanour.
"The house is very understated and the Greek king was very dignified. Greeks like their luxury but everything needs to be quiet and gentle and dignified. Russians and Nigerians seem to like conspicuous opulence and the trappings of materialism but Greeks are just the opposite," he said.
He added that while the home does need re-modelling the interior of the house is still attractive.
"It's a very beautiful house with one of the loveliest views over Hampstead Heath extension I've ever seen in my 40 years in the business. It has to be bought by someone who wants a country house and craves privacy and yet wants proximity to central London.
"It's owned presently by a person of no name, but the type of person who's going to buy it will be a Hampstead Garden Suburb purist. It will not be sold to someone who doesn't understand its gentle charm and it's not for someone that is looking to flaunt."

Bunch of Bad Bills Brings Up Denial of Citizen Rights
BY Karen Terry
Fast-Track Legislation Appears To Attack 7th Amendment
Tort reform has become a hot potato again as a series of proposed bills have been unleashed that impinge on the rights of people harmed or injured by product defects, medical malpractice, nursing home and other negligence race, through the House.
One of the bills, the Fairness in Class Action Litigation Act of 2017, already passed the House and is headed to the Senate. H.R. 985, as it was called, effectively prevents victims of bad drugs, consumer scams, faulty medical devices, Takata airbags and the like from participating in class actions. Another, the Protecting Access to Care Act of 2017, or H. R. 1215, does the exact opposite of what its title purports:
Mandates to states when a claim must be brought in a claim for damages.
The bill rips away at reasonable compensation a person can claim for damages from defective products.
It allows defendants to pay you for any damages you may collect over $50,000 through an extended period of time; possibly several years to decades.
H.R. 1215 is the Federal Government telling states and states' citizens what our rights should be when injured by another.
There's more. The Innocent Party Protection Act, or H.R. 725, also passed the House and is headed to the Senate. It would relocate certain claims to the federal courts, from the state courts, delivering a major disadvantage to those seeking justice. It can take years longer to move a case through the federal court system and can increase the costs of doing so. That the U.S. Chamber of Commerce backs the bill is cause for consumers to be concerned.
Fourthly, the Lawsuit Abuse Reduction Act of 2017, or H.R. 720, is another that passed the House and is headed to the Senate. Its requirements include sanctioning attorneys representing clients whose claims are deemed nonmeritorious, which the American Bar Association argues is unnecessary because of Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The ABA makes two key claims about the proposed legislation: "There is no empirical evidence that Rule 11 is inadequate and needs to be amended; and "There is substantial risk that the proposed changes would impede the administration of justice by encouraging additional litigation and increasing court costs and delays." If this bill passes, the courts will be plagued with defendants making boiler plate claims of frivolous lawsuits, lengthen an already long litigation process and make more money for defense law firms.
"Our objective in opposing the enactment of H.R. 720 is not to stifle discourse over the underlying issues," writes Thomas Susman, director of the ABA's governmental-affairs office, in a four-page letter to Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the Virginia Republican who chairs the House Judiciary Committee. "While we do not believe that Rule 11 requires amendment, we respect that some Members of Congress are deeply concerned that frivolous lawsuits are adversely affecting the administration of justice and believe that their concerns and proposed solutions deserve a full and robust examination. The best way to accomplish this is to defer to the Rules Enabling Act process established by Congress. This will assure a comprehensive and evidence-based development of any remedial proposal that involves amending the Federal Rules."
The real facts support that frivolous lawsuits are a rare occurrence in the scheme of things. Those that are filed are well taken care of through laws and statutes that severely penalize lawsuits without merit. New laws are not needed.
All of the above points to an egregious effort to invoke tort reform when none is needed. Proponents believe tort reform will curb the practices of overzealous lawyers looking to line their pockets by preying on billion-dollar businesses. Such theories have been debunked time and time again.
Center for Justice & Democracy at New York Law School Executive Director Joanne Doroshow pointed out that none of the four bills aimed at overhauling the way the civil courts operate has received a congressional hearing.
"These bills, put together, would exonerate large corporations and the health-care industry for any kind of harm they may cause everyday people," Doroshow told The Washington Post, adding that the absence of any hearings is "unprecedented."


It's easy to believe that, when we're hiring, the best candidates will rise to the top. That we will seek out someone with the skills, experience, references, and through the interview process find the best person for the job. But the reality is somewhat different. Very often, a hiring manager will have someone in mind for a job before it's even posted – someone from inside the company, someone they know from a previous role, or someone they've met at a networking event or through colleagues.
This may seem reasonable. Who wouldn't want to hire a candidate they already trust, or someone a friend or colleague can vouch for? Does it really matter if hiring depends both on what you know and who you know?
It matters for diversity. How many hiring managers – especially higher up the corporate ladder – are people of color? How many are women? If you are only choosing from the pool of people you know, you're that much less likely to find someone unlike yourself.
By pre-selecting your new hire, you are not only doing yourself a disservice, but potentially your company as a whole. Diverse companies outperform their peers; a McKinsey study found that the most racially, ethnically, and gender-diverse companies are more likely to have financial returns above the median for their industries. Researchers at NC State's Poole College of Management found diverse teams are more innovative, too. The variety of perspectives diverse teams bring to the work they do can help spark creativity and spur employees to think about challenges in new ways.
It's natural to want to hire someone you know. There's risk in the unknown, and most of us are too busy and depend too much on our teams to feel very comfortable with that risk. But I'm asking you to see the risk in not looking beyond your own circles. If you don't embrace diversity in the candidates you interview, you may end up with a team with fewer diverse experiences to drive innovation and creative collaboration.
I'm not saying you should never hire someone you know, or that there is always a better option. But I'm asking you to look. If a job is posted for 3 days before you can hire the candidate you've pre-selected, how many resumes come in during those 3 days? What if everyone interviewed at least a handful of top candidates from diverse backgrounds and experiences for every open role during that 3 days, and honestly looked at how they stacked up? If every hiring manager took the opportunity to look at just a few candidates every time, how many new people would get a foot in the door? And then how many of them would go on to be hiring managers and do the same?
If you look around the room at your next management conference or leadership event and the room is a sea of sameness, you may assume that it's hard to find highly qualified, diverse candidates for senior leadership roles. But the reality may be that they aren't there because one or two or three levels down, no one even looked at their resumes to give them the chance to grow their careers and compete. It's time for that to change.

DESPITE the hundreds of millions of pesos being spent by his competitors running for a seat in the Senate, broadcast journalist Jiggy Manicad -- who is seeking an elective position for the first time -- is confident that he still has an edge over fellow candidates due to the excessive contributions in kind of supporters embarking on a "bayanihan" campaign.
"Ang tawag namin dun ay 'yung bubong billboard. Wala po kaming pondo para magpatayo ng malalaking billboard sa mga private property tulad ng iba, pero nagugulat na lang kami na yung ibang dinadaanan namin na bahay ay nakapintura doon yung pangalan ko at numero sa balota," Manicad said in an interview.
"We have also been receiving photos of supporters printing their own shirts, ballers, and even using pentel pen to make their own posters. 'Yung iba, dino-download lang yung design sa Facebook," Manicad said.
With limited funds for the campaign, mostly coming from his personal income as a media personality and businessman, Manicad has attributed the groundswell of support to his campaign to supporters who are resorting to "bayanihan" through grassroots, community-led efforts to push him to the Magic 12.
On Facebook, the "bayanihan" campaign is led by the "Jiggy Manicad Movement" with more than 40,000 members. Volunteers have established core groups through almost all regions and are printing campaign materials with money from their own pockets.
Posts by members of the campaign express admiration for Manicad's commitment to a platform of governance based on honesty, transparency, and integrity.
One such post by a Jonathan Banares says, "Tama po. Aanhin niyo naman yung mga pondo [kung] galing sa mga hindi mabuti at galing sa mga pulitiko at negosyante na sarili lang ang iniisip, hindi mga maralita? Kami po ay nasa likod niyo at isa po ako sa patuloy na nagpapakilala sa inyo dito sa aming lugar."
Since announcing his decision to run last year, Manicad said he consciously decided to keep his expenses small to "exert full control over his actions and commitments to the people" if elected into the Senate.
"My campaign manager is my wife. My biggest contributors to my campaign are my friends and family. This is really the way we kept this campaign to minimize expenses. Ayaw po naming mahaluan ng vested interests sa politics o business ang aking pagtakbo sa Senado," Manicad said.
"Kung gusto po natin ng tapat at malinis na pamamahala, dapat halalan pa lang, kampanya pa lang, tapat at malinis na," he added.
Prior to the start of the official campaign period, Manicad estimates that he spent a measly P2 million in pre-campaign expenses.

Kendall Jenner reportedly advised to leave 'Keeping Us With The Kardashians'
Insiders say Jenner "has been advised by friends in the fashion industry that reality TV could damage her modeling career."

LOS ANGELES, July 21 (UPI) -- Kendall Jenner has reportedly been advised to leave her family's reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, given that her role in the series could have a negative effect on her rising modeling career.
Sources told The Daily Mail that Jenner "has been advised by friends in the fashion industry that reality TV could damage her modeling career." But because she's contractually bound to finish off the series, the 18-year-old star has allegedly taken other precautions.
"Kendall had the option to pull out of any other potential shows and that's exactly what she's done," said the insider.
Jenner's modeling career -- which took off this year following her appearances at Marc Jacobs Chanel and Givenchy shows in March -- has kept her from appearing in several of the new episode of the E! reality series.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Jenner's half brother Rob Kardashian also decided to pull back from the show because he felt like it had "ruined" his family, and that his mother Kriss Jenner "is always on the look out for the next big deal for one of her daughters."
"His significant weight gain has only added to the stress in his life," added the source. "He has been working out but has very bad eating habits. He just feels very alone."
Jenner most recently walked the runway for one of sister Kim Kardashian's favorite designers, Balmain.
