Here at Asian Efficiency, we have been asked this question several times and this has been discussed in our own Productivity Community, The Dojo. Why is this important for you and me?
We all have our reasons but one thing we can all agree on is that we are also affected when those around us are unproductive and inefficient. Whether it be a co-worker or a family member, their productivity is usually tied to our own. When you're in a team and you finish all your deliverables but one of your teammates did not, it could also mean that you do not reach your target(s) as a team. And what about those times when additional tasks are added to your own because other people simply cannot do it because they lack focus? Or when you are planning a vacation with your partner but there are so many disconnects because you use Google Calendar and your partner uses the desk calendar.
We can understand the frustration that you go through when you want to help someone be the best version of themselves but they refuse to listen. Or how tricky it can be to offer advice when it's not asked.
Let's take a look at some reasons why it can be difficult to make the people around you more productive.
You see that they have more than 2000 unread email messages, but for them it's okay. It doesn't bother them because they get to work on the important stuff anyway. Some things may have fallen through the cracks, but it's not enough reason for them to actually spend the time to go through their inbox and reach inbox zero or to follow your advice.
When the pain is low, then the motivation to get it fixed is also low. Pain is considered a great motivator. If your partner lost a big project because an email "fell through the cracks," then this is going to be a motivator for them to actually listen to you and follow your advice.
If you believe in continuous growth by learning new skills or honing your existing skills, then you have the growth mindset. Mike and Thanh talked about this in detail in our podcast as well. The opposite of this is the fixed mindset which means that our qualities are fixed–we cannot change it and we don't work on it. Unfortunately, the majority of people fall under the fixed mindset. That's one reason why fiction books are most likely to sell out compared to non-fiction books.
There could be several underlying reasons for this. It could be that they just don't see you as the right person to talk about productivity. Or it could be that they just don't trust you. Sounds harsh but this is a reality for some.
Those are just some examples as to why you fail in helping other people become more productive. But let's look at how you can avoid failure and be able to help those around you.
In The Productivity Show, we released a new podcast on this exact same topic. And based on that show, there's only one way to do so: influence them.
If you think about it, this is the same technique that speakers like Tony Robbins or Nick Vujicic use. And they are great influencers. People they do not know personally are influenced by them and are inspired by them to make changes in their life. You can be this person to those around you as well.
When those around you are as productive as you-you also win. You will have accountability partners or even an accountability group. It will also be easy for you to bounce around ideas on how to improve yourself. And wouldn't it be great that you can share systems with your significant other and vice versa?
Here are some techniques on how you can influence those around you to be more productive, be it a family member or someone you work with.
When you hear something, it's involuntary. There's a sound, and you hear it. But when you listen, it is an intentional action that you process what you hear. So there's a world of difference between the two.
If you want to influence those around you, you must first listen to them. By doing this, you get a better understanding of what their frustrations are, what their problems are, where they need help or even if they need help. When you listen, it gives you the chance to also ask relevant questions that would show that you are interested in what they have to say.
You tell someone to follow the AE email workflow to get to inbox zero but when they look at your inbox, you have more than 200 unread emails in your inbox and you have several folders with corresponding flag colors. Why would they even listen to you or follow your advice when it shows that you are not following it yourself?
We often hear the phrase "practice what you preach" and this is very important when we want to influence people to change. When you do this, you build your credibility that you are the real deal. You know what you are talking about. According to Art Markman in his book Smart Change, you need to engage visibly in the goals that you want them to adopt. When you lead by example, you are (part of) their goal.
This reminds me of a time when my partner was having a hard time focusing. His brain was just everywhere and he could not finish the script that he was coding. Then finally he asked me "What was that tomato app you installed when you could not focus?" Ah ha! He was paying attention. I am very vocal when it comes to what's going on in my head so when I can't focus, I would tell him, "I got my timer and my headphones, I need to focus." Then after 3 or 4 Pomodoros, I would stand up and say "Finally! DONE!" And he's a witness to it all because we share the same office.
When I first joined Asian Efficiency and was introduced to this wonderful world of productivity, I would often share to him what I have learned and for sure I have also encouraged him to use the Pomodoro Technique. But it wasn't until he kept noticing that it was my go-to problem fixer when I could not focus that finally, he understood.
Now that you have listened to them, you also have a good understanding of 'what could be their goals' and with this in mind, make suggestions. Never dictate what their goals should be. You cannot simply tell your teammate that 'your goal is to reach inbox zero in two days.' You can suggest by asking questions too like 'do you think 2 days will be enough for you to reach inbox zero or you need more time?' With this, you are basically saying to put a time-frame to the action of getting to inbox zero. If they get confused, then you can always go back to the second point and show what works for you. Help them discover how they can work around what you currently practice in case it does not work for them.
Pain is a great motivator and you can highlight this to them. Go through a series of questions that they can relate to and ask them their pain points and what they would do to change this. Go through the Five Why exercise if needed.
In your head, you got it all figured out. You think "What is so difficult with this? This is easy as pie!" Remember, it's not about you. It's about the other person and you are there to help and offer assistance–not do it yourself.
Those are just some tips that you can use to influence people on how to be productive. To know more and find out what Mike and Thanh have to say on this topic, listen to the Podcast Episode: The ONLY Way You Can Inspire Change in Others & Make Them More Productive.
You cannot change someone overnight just as you cannot change yourself overnight. But you can definitely start today. You can start by taking our free Productivity Quiz and share it with your team and family members. It's a great way to start the 'are you productive' conversation.

New York State Route 97 (NY 97) is a  north–south scenic route in southern New York in the United States. It runs from U.S. Route 6 (US 6) and US 209 in Port Jervis to NY 17 (Future Interstate 86) in Hancock. Its most famous feature is the Hawk's Nest, a tightly winding section of the road along the Delaware River, located a few miles north of Port Jervis. NY 97 intersects NY 52 in Narrowsburg and indirectly connects to three Pennsylvania state highways due to its proximity to the state line.

The New York State Legislature created Route 3-a, an unsigned legislative route extending from Port Jervis to Hancock along the Delaware River, in 1911. Initially, it was a route in name only as the portion north of Port Jervis had yet to be built. Several parts of the route were constructed during the 1920s, and by the time the NY 97 designation was created as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, only two sections were still unconstructed. The entirety of the highway officially opened on August 30, 1939, capping a construction project that cost $4 million (equivalent to $ in ) to complete.

NY 97 began in the city of Port Jervis and ended in Callicoon when it was assigned in 1930. At that time, the remainder of modern NY 97 was part of NY 17B. During May 1939, the state proposed a new designation of New York State Route 17L (NY 17L) for the section between Hancock and Bradley's Corners (south of Middletown). After opposition by a local committee, NY 97 was extended north to Hancock in June 1939, overlapping NY 17B. The latter route was truncated to Callicoon in the 1960s. It is also shared with New York State Bicycle Route 17, except between NY 17 and NY 268.

Route description

Port Jervis to Pond Eddy

NY 97 begins at an intersection with US 6 and US 209 (Pike Street / East Main Street) in the city of Port Jervis. NY 97 is immediately concurrent with NY 42 as the route proceeds west on West Main Street, a two-lane commercial street. NY 42 and NY 97 soon split from West Main Street for Park Avenue in the Germantown section of Port Jervis, north of the Port Jervis Metro-North Railroad station. NY 42 and NY 97 soon leave Port Jervis for the town of Deerpark, paralleling the Norfolk Southern Southern Tier Line (ex-Erie Railroad Delaware Division) past and soon into the hamlet of Sparrowbush.

In Sparrowbush, NY 42 and NY 97 proceed west, passing north of the Eddy Farm Resort Golf Course before bending northwest through the hamlet. After the intersection with Darraugh Lane, NY 42 forks off on a new right-of-way to the northeast, while NY 97 continues northwest on the current alignment. The route quickly bends north, intersecting with Hook Road, which connects to the golf course and nearby fishing area. NY 97 continues north, paralleling NY 42 and the Delaware River into the Hawk's Nest section of Deerpark. In Hawk's Nest, NY 97 runs alongside the side of several cliffs overlooking the Delaware. As the river bends to the west, NY 97 bends westward out of Hawk's Nest, bending southwest into Sullivan County.

Upon entering Sullivan County, NY 97 enters the hamlet of Sparrowbush, NY, where it crosses over the Mongaup River. Now in the town of Lumberland, NY 97 soon bends to the west, running alongside the Delaware River, passing through the hamlet of Knight's Eddy before bending northwest. After another large bend to the southwest once again, NY 97 enters the hamlet of Pond Eddy. In Pond Eddy, NY 97 intersects with County Route 41 (CR 41), which proceeds north as High Road while crosses the nearby Pond Eddy Bridge into Shohola Township, Pennsylvania and the unsigned quadrant State Route 1011 on the opposite shore. NY 97 remains a two-lane residential road through Pond Eddy before leaving the hamlet further to the southwest.

Barryville to Narrowsburg
Bending northwest once again, NY 97 continues alongside the river, entering a small commercial stretch through the town of Lumberland, before turning southwest once again. Just before an intersection with Tuthill Road, NY 97 bends northwest and away from the river before bending northeastward to the riverside once again. During another curve to the northwest, NY 97 enters the hamlet of Handsome Eddy, which consists of a few farms. After crossing into the town of Highland, it enters the hamlet of Barryville. In Barryville, NY 97 turns northwest and becomes a commercial street, intersecting with NY 55 and CR 11 in the center. Present as this junction is the Barryville–Shohola Bridge, which crosses the Delaware River and meets PA 434.

After NY 55, NY 97 continues west through Barryville, intersecting with the southern terminus of CR 21 (Yulan–Barryville Road), CR 21A and the western terminus of CR 11A (River Road). After leaving Barryville, NY 97 parallels CR 21 for a short distance, continuing west through the town of Highland alongside the Delaware River. The route bends southwestward once again, crossing past several homes as it winds through Highland. The route makes a short western stretch at an intersection with Old Minisink Ford Road before turning eastward into the hamlet of Minisink Ford. In Minisink Ford, NY 97 intersects with CR 168 (Minisink Battleground Road), which connects to Minisink Battleground County Park. NY 97 and CR 168 are concurrent for an extremely short distance, before CR 168 crosses the Delaware River on Roebling's Delaware Aqueduct into the borough of Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania.

After Minisink Ford, NY 97 bends northward along the river as a two-lane dense woods road through the town of Highland. After an intersection with Poblete Drive, NY 97 continues northward while the Delaware River bends west, and NY 97 enters the town of Tusten. Through Tusten, NY 97 makes several bends to the north, before maintaining a long northwest stretch after Grassy Swamp Road. Passing west of Rock Lake, NY 97 enters the hamlet of Tusten, where it bends northward again and soon intersecting with the western terminus of CR 23 (Lumberland–Mount Hope Road). A short distance later, CR 25 (Eckes Road) begins at an intersection with NY 97. After another bend to the southwest, NY 97 intersects with NY 52 and CR 111.

Tusten to Hankins
NY 52 and NY 97 become concurrent in the town of Tusten, soon entering the hamlet of Narrowsburg. Passing south of Feagles Lake, the two routes soon fork off, with NY 52 proceeding west on CR 24 (Bridge Street) to the Narrowsburg–Darbytown Bridge. NY 97 continues northwest, running along the eastern edge of Narrowsburg, passing Glenn Cove Cemetery, where it intersects with Kirk Road. At this junction, NY 97 returns the riverside, bending northeast and southeast alongside. Now paralleling the Southern Tier Line once again, the route continues through the town of Tusten, running north as a two-lane residential street. NY 97 soon bends northwest to the railroad then north again, entering the town of Cochecton.

In Cochecton, NY 97 intersects with Skinners Falls Road, which connects to the hamlet of Skinners Falls and the Skinners Falls – Milanville Bridge. NY 97 meanwhile continues north away from the river, before rejoining a short distance north. After a short stretch to the northeast, CR 116 intersects. Paralleling the railroad tracks, NY 97 soon enters the hamlet of Cochecton, bending northeast out of the hamlet. At the end of the bend, CR 114 (Lake Huntington Road) intersects with NY 97, connecting the route to the Cochecton–Damascus Bridge and PA 371. NY 97 proceeds east for a short distance, where CR 114 forks towards Lake Huntington. After CR 114, NY 97 continues north alongside the railroad tracks before splitting for a few miles. The railroad tracks soon rejoin in the town of Delaware.

In Delaware, NY 97 and the railroad tracks proceed northward, entering the hamlet of Callicoon. In Callicoon, NY 97 crosses over a tributary of the Delaware River and intersects with the western terminus of NY 17B. After a stretch to the northwest, NY 97 runs along the northern edge of Callicoon and intersects with CR 133 (Fremont Street) at the outer edge of the hamlet. After CR 133, NY 97 bends north through Delaware, far from the riverside and railroad line. The three soon meet once again as NY 97 enters the town of Fremont. All three entities bend west and enter the hamlet of Hankins. In Hankins, CR 132 (Hankins Road) and CR 94 (Hankins Road) both terminate at NY 97, which runs as a two-lane commercial street.

Long Eddy to Hancock
After Long Eddy, NY 97 bends northeast through the town of Fremont, intersecting with Kellams Bridge Road. Kellams Bridge Road connects NY 97 to the Little Equinunk Bridge (also known as Kellam's Bridge). NY 97 continues northward, intersecting with the terminus of CR 134 (Basket Brook Road). After another dart to the west, NY 97 enters the hamlet of Long Eddy. In Long Eddy, NY 97 is the main road, passing multiple residences on both sides of the road. At an intersection with Kinney Road, NY 97 turns northward and crosses the county line into Delaware County. Upon crossing the county line, NY 97 is now in the town of Hancock. Through Hancock, NY 97 becomes a two-lane woods road, winding north and soon northeast into the hamlet of Pea Brook.

Pea Brook consists of a few homes and upon leaving, NY 97 returns to the two-lane woods road it was beforehand. Just before a junction with Klondike Road and Swope Road, NY 97 bends westward once again, entering the hamlet of French Woods. In French Woods, NY 97 passes south of French Woods Golf and Country Club and enters the hamlet of Peas Eddy. In Peas Eddy, NY 97 bends southwest and south alongside Somerset Lake. After Somerset Lake, the route bends northwest and returns to the railroad tracks and the Delaware River in the hamlet of Stockport. At the junction with Stockport Road, NY 97 gains the moniker and becomes a two-lane residential street. A short distance later, NY 97 enters the village of Hancock. In Hancock, NY 97 becomes a two-lane commercial street, paralleling the railroad tracks into the downtown section after crossing the East Branch of the Delaware River.

In downtown Hancock, NY 97 intersects with the southern terminus of NY 268 (East Front Street). NY 97 takes a two block turn to the west before intersecting with Reed Street, where it heads one block north. NY 97 then turns west onto West Main Street, proceeding as a two-lane residential street. NY 97 intersects with Pennsylvania Avenue, which connects NY 97 to the Delaware River and a bridge crossing to PA 191. After leaving the village, NY 97 becomes a two-lane commercial street, intersecting with Sands Creek Road. There, NY 97 turns northward and enters exit 87 of New York State Route 17 (Future I-86) (the Quickway). The northern ramps of the interchange serve as the northern terminus of NY 97 while Sands Creek Road continues north as CR 67 to NY 10 at the Cannonsville Reservoir.

History
The Delaware River corridor had been linked by a road along the cliffs overlooking the river since at least 1851. Part of it was constructed in the early 1800s as part of the Newburgh and Chenango Turnpike, chartered in 1805 to create a road from the Newburgh and Cochecton Turnpike up the Delaware River to Hancock, thence to Deposit, Bainbridge, and Oxford. When the plans for a new highway through the corridor of NY 97 were initially drawn up, it was to bypass what became the Hawk's Nest in favor of a shoreline route. However, the Erie Railroad refused to sell the necessary right-of-way, forcing the state to construct the improved road along the cliffside instead.

In 1911, the New York State Legislature created Route 3-a, an unsigned legislative route extending from the Pennsylvania state line at Port Jervis to Route 4 (later NY 17) in Hancock along the Delaware River. Very little of this highway actually existed in reality; by 1920, only  of the  long route had been built. In the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, the segment of former Route 3-a from Port Jervis to Callicoon was designated as NY 97, even though two sections of the route—between NY 42 at Sparrow Bush and Mongaup and from Pond Eddy to near the hamlet of Tusten—were still incomplete. The remainder of old Route 3-a north of Callicoon, which was fully constructed by 1930, became part of NY 17B. In 1932, then-Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt signed legislation designating NY 97 as the "Upper Delaware Scenic Byway".

In May 1939, rest of future-NY 97 was proposed by the New York State Highway Department to become NY 17L from Hancock to Bradley's Corners. The Orange County Chamber of Commerce wanted one designation for the entire stretch of highway from Hancock to Port Jervis, which shared NY 97. NY 17B, NY 84 and US 6. NY 17L was chosen to provide an alternate to NY 17 for motorists who wanted to avoid the busy highway. The Route Ninety-Seven Council had been created several months prior to advocate for designating the entire road as NY 97. They opposed the decision for NY 17L, preferring to keep NY 97 to help travelers. Walter Schwartz, the chairman of the highway committee for Sullivan County's Board of Supervisors, announced on May 12 that he would discuss with the state about the NY 17L/NY 97 ordeal. On June 28, the state announced that they were dropping the NY 17L designation and the entire route would be designated as NY 97.

On August 30, 1939, the entirety of NY 97 was officially opened to traffic. Several events were held to mark the road's opening, including a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Port Jervis featuring the mayors of Port Jervis and Hancock and a motorcade procession that traveled the length of the highway. In all, it cost $4 million (equivalent to $ in ) to build NY 97. The portion through the Hawk's Nest cost $2 million (equivalent to $ in ) to construct. Following the road's completion, NY 97 was extended north to Hancock, overlapping NY 17B. The overlap was eliminated in the mid-1960s when NY 17B was truncated to Callicoon.

Near Cochecton, a historical marker points out that NY 97 passes the rock claimed by New Jersey colonists as the western end of the colony's northern border during the New York–New Jersey Line War in the 18th century. About a quarter of the route follows the old Delaware and Hudson Canal.

On Dracula's Footsteps
7 October 2016 - 4 mins
I left for Romania with Tigran and Darius. My friend Fivos accompanied us. A Greek, he speaks Romanian. I had never been to this country before, and I decided to discover it with my eldest grandsons. We flew Aegean Airlines; the flight was comfortable. The airport in Bucharest is clean enough, very white, and empty as a new hospital that has yet to open.
We set out on the Romanian roads. The first few hours were full of flat green plains, rather banal and boring. From afar we saw the towers of Ploiesti and then wooded hills came into view. We found ourselves in an increasingly narrow and steep passageway covered by enormous trees. We were on the trail of Dracula, or rather, the person modelled after the famous historical figure named Vlad Tepes, "Vlad the Impaler".
During our drive, I began to recount the story of Vlad to my travelling companions. He was born in 1431. His grandfather, Mircea, had brought glamour to this small dynasty. In fact, this family, like many other Romanian families, pinched between the Ottoman Turks, Hungary, the Holy Roman Empire and other Romanian principalities, only survived due to trickery, deceit, betrayal, and cruelty. Vlad's father had received the rare honor of Knight of the Order of the Dragon, from Emperor Sigismund, whereby he became Vlad Dracul.
Now, Dragon is called Dracul In Romanian. His son was called Vlad Dracula, the son of Dracula. He received an excellent education, the monks taught him Cyrillic, old Slavic, and Latin.
Vlad's father tried to make terms with the Ottomans, who were becoming ever more menacing. The Sultan invited over the father and his two sons, Vlad and his younger brother Radu. As soon as they arrived they were arrested. The father couldn't leave unless he left his sons as hostages. From ages 12 to 16 Vlad Tepes remained a prisoner in the dark confines of Anatolia. He learned Turkish, and experienced other forbidden pleasures, and perhaps an initiation which would leave a mark on his life. He also developed a deep resentment towards his younger brother, which was reciprocated, who was prisoner alongside him. Radu was weaker and didn't resist the advances of the Sultan's second son, the prince Mehmed, who would make noise in history under the name of Mehmed II, the Conqueror of Constantinople.
One day, Vlad learned that his father had been assassinated, and his eldest brother had been buried alive. Vlad vowed to avenge them. He successfully escaped his Ottoman imprisonment. The prince who murdered Vlad's father and his brother named him to the governing post that Vlad's father had previously held. Vlad would use this position to regain the principality of Wallachia and other lands that had belonged to his family. His reign began in 1456, he was crowned during a solemn ceremony in the Targoviste Cathedral.
With his penetrating green eyes, his look of madness, his aquiline nose, his slender mustache and cruel mouth, he wasn't handsome, but he fascinated and was not without a certain seduction. He dressed in rich western fashion. He was cultivated and profoundly religious. He married three times, each to grand Hungarian ladies, and for political reasons converted to Catholicism, as did many Romanian Princes, all the while continuing to protect Orthodoxy. Vlad also had many mistresses, one in each city, most were German, for whom he had a weakness. He had many children, who in turn produced children of their own, the descendants of whom are found in present day aristocratic and even royal families.
On the occasion of his accession, he threw an enormous banquet and invited all of his lords, amongst which were the true assassins of his brother and father. When everyone was drunk, Vlad gave the order. His guards leapt forward, seizing and impaling 500 of these men. The others submitted without discussion.
Vlad rarely stayed in one place during his reign. He was constantly at war against the Ottomans, the Hungarians, and other Romanian Princes. He defended himself while expanding his territory. Soon, he found himself facing off against Mehmed II, his former prison guard. The Sultan appealed to their friendship, Vlad responded with a provocation. When receiving a delegation of Ottoman Pashas sent by the Sultan, Vlad demanded they remove their turbans. They protested, saying they wouldn't even remove them on the orders of their ruler. "If you keep them on, you will wear them forever," Vlad replied. He then had their headdresses nailed to their skulls. Mehmed II was impervious, and requested a meeting. In reality it was an ambush. Vlad learned of this and not only successfully took the Sultan's delegate hostage, but was also able to take the fortress where the meeting was to be held as well.
Vlad then sent to his suzerain, the King of Hungary, a few souvenirs he had taken from his enemies, along with an inventory which still exists today: 23,800 heads, with ears and noses cut off.

Q: Convert indentation in entire folder I'm working in a large project with ~35,500 files and I want o know if I cold convert the indentation of the entire project. I know I can do
unexpand -t 4 <file>

but I can't run it for every single file.
I was thinking about some way of doing it with tree, which I know I can manipulate to print every file name with complete path... or does someone know a shell program that can iterate over all files in folder and subfolders so I could use unexpand?

A: As unexpand does not have an overwrite option, please try:
#!/bin/bash

dir="."
while read -r -d "" file; do
    tmpfile=$(mktemp /tmp/tempfile.XXXXXX)
    unexpand -t 4 "$file" > "$tmpfile"
    cp --preserve=all --attributes-only -- "$file" "$tmpfile"  # will work with GNU cp only
    mv -f -- "$tmpfile" "$file"
done < <(find "$dir" -type f -print0)

The line starts with cp just copies the attributes of the original one. You can comment-out the line if it does not work.
Please make sure to back up the original files before execution.

Dallas-Ft. Worth Real Estate News
Uptown Dallas Is Like Studio 54: Everyone In CRE Wants In, But It's Getting Crowded
Dallas-Ft. Worth Office View count:
Dallas-Ft. Worth Office
November 17, 2019 Kerri Panchuk, Bisnow Dallas-Fort Worth
Uptown Dallas is one of the hottest office submarkets in the Metroplex, but it may soon be a victim of its own success as opportunities become harder to find.

The Uptown Dallas-Turtle Creek submarket absorbed 450K SF of office in the past 12 months as property owners and investors raked in rents above $40 per SF on average, according to CoStar.
While CoStar shows this sought-after market with 748K SF of office under construction, Uptown's landlocked nature will eventually catch up to it, limiting how many ground-up construction projects are possible in the future, commercial real estate experts say.
"Uptown has always been [the place for] professional services firms — your accountants, your hedge funds, your financial firms and law firms," said Thirty-Four Commercial's Sarah Hinkley Kennington, who will be one of several Uptown experts speaking at Bisnow's The Future of Uptown Dallas event Dec. 5.
"But for the first time, we are seeing more consolidation. We are seeing some tech companies and more corporate-type tenants that are wanting to get a footprint in Dallas."
These firms are scouring Uptown and surrounding areas for new or redeveloped premier office buildings. Hinkley Kennington doesn't see space running out any time soon, but she does view the area as landlocked overall.
"Between Hillwood, Kaizen, KDC, Granite and Harwood, there are still a lot of active developers, so we will see a healthy supply over the next cycle," Hinkley Kennington said. But, she admits, "We will eventually run out of land sites because we are an urban area ... surrounded by highways."
Uptown-Turtle Creek has 17 vacant lots totaling 17 acres zoned for office use, according to CoStar Director of Market Analytics Paul Hendershot.
"The bottom line, there is not a lot of space for new construction in this submarket," Hendershot told Bisnow. "The fact that it's landlocked, there are really not that many opportunities to build new spaces. We may see some of the older properties either renovated or even torn down to build new spaces."
Granite Properties is a real-life example of this hold-and-develop strategy in Uptown. The company purchased three low-rise buildings in the Uptown area in 2011 and plans to transform the site into a top-tier office product within the next three years.
"It's currently called Cedar Maple Plaza," Granite Properties Senior Managing Director Will Hendrickson said. "We've already been through the entitlement process, and we are now in the process of winding down the current leases we have in place."
Once the leases run out, Granite will launch construction in the first quarter of 2021, creating a new office product with 17K SF for restaurant development.
"When you look at the size of our site ... the square footage that is currently in place, it's an obvious play to add density," Hendrickson said. "That is why we have been so focused on it. I think as land becomes more scarce in Uptown, you will see additional sites that get repurposed or get razed and redeveloped over time."
Hillwood Urban is perhaps one of the strongest players in and around Uptown. The company still has several key sites to work with from its land at Field Street and Woodall Rogers to its nearby development of Victory Commons in Victory Park. Hillwood Urban also owns acreage at Cedar Springs and Turtle Creek, where it is planning a 350K SF office project.
Even though Hillwood Urban made its Uptown-Turtle Creek land investments early on, Senior Vice President Walt Zartman sees redevelopment of existing buildings as the area's future.
"The things you see going on now [in Uptown] are a lot of redevelopments," he said. "Can you get a hold of a site? It may have an income-producing property on the site currently, but the site itself will allow for redevelopment and increasing its density. That is definitely what we see going on. It probably will continue to go on probably because of the fact that there just are not many sites available within Uptown."
For property investors who can afford to play in the Uptown area, it is the safest bet in terms of returns, Hendershot said in recent market reports.
The area boasts top office rents of $40 per SF and a rental growth rate of 4.5%, compared to Downtown Dallas, which has average rents hovering at $25.50 per SF, according to CoStar.
For this reason, Hendershot said "outside investors will continue to look at Uptown as the premier place to put their money in Dallas-Fort Worth."

The Accidental Solution to XCEL's Solar Woes - Contact Governor Ritter
Support distributed, renewable energy!
Contact Governor Ritter at:
136 State Capitol, Denver, CO 80203
http://www.colorado.gov/apps/oit/governor/citizen/assistanceUtility/shareOpinionGovOffice.jsf
Include "SoCo transmission line" in the subject.
The Accidental Solution to XCEL's Solar Woes
A Colorado Startup Company Discovers Solar Farm Sites on Colorado's Front Range
The Solar Panel Hosting Company, a Colorado start-up, has stumbled upon excellent solar farm sites in Jefferson County and elsewhere along the front range. Wholesale distributed solar development on these sites could meet XCEL Energy's solar purchase requirements without requiring new transmission lines into the San Luis Valley.
XCEL energy recently announced that it would reduce its purchase of solar energy in Colorado if transmission line construction were delayed. Governor Ritter said he would try to negotiate with Trinchera Ranch to allow a transmission line to be built over La Veta Pass.
While looking for sites for projects under Colorado's new Community Solar Gardens Act, we were approached by land owners with parcels from around 70 acres up to 320 acres who had been spurned by solar developers intent on very large sites in the San Luis Valley. The best of these sites is an old mine adjacent to a sub-station, zoned industrial, near existing transmission lines, and screened from view by a berm. The land owner is committed to developing his entire property for solar energy.
These sites could become wholesale distributed photovoltaic (PV) solar plants similar to the Solar One plant currently operating near the San Luis Valley town of Mosca. Solar One, covering approximately 100 acres, produces just over 8 Megawatts of power, the equivalent of 2500 typical home solar energy systems. This plant has generated almost no opposition, being fairly low to the ground, quiet, using very little water, and not requiring large mirrors. By contrast, the scenic San Luis Valley is facing proposals for concentrated solar thermal plants covering thousands of acres, involving mirrors and perhaps towers, noisy turbines or Stirling engines, and often requiring significant amounts of water.
Long transmission lines mean transmission losses. While good numbers are hard to come by, a former Governor's Energy Office member (and transmission line supporter) suggested to me that transmission line losses between the San Luis Valley and the Front Range would be about 8-12%, with losses the greatest on hot days when demand is highest. On average, Alamosa receives about 15% more solar energy than Denver. This means the majority of the additional energy would be lost, turned into useless heat. The ratepayers pay for the transmission line and a markup to guarantee power company profits. Energy lost in transmission would still be counted as "renewable energy" under Colorado's renewable portfolio standard.
The state's current plan, the Renewable Energy Development Initiative (REDI) would involve putting nearly all of Colorado's solar generation in the San Luis Valley. Opposition is strong- not just a billionaire or a few hippies, but ranchers, townspeople, and business owners as well. In our local Democratic caucus, we voted unanimously to consider the distributed alternatives before building new transmission lines.
Under Colorado's new Renewable Portfolio Standard, by 2020 a minimum of 1.5% of our energy must come from wholesale distributed renewables, defined as less than 30 Megawatts. Remember, this is a minimum, not a maximum. In a conversation we had last March, our state Senator Gail Schwartz mentioned the idea of using 100 Solar One-sized plants to generate a Gigawatt of electricity. I suggested we spread these facilities all around sunny Colorado.
In California, PG&E recently announced a plan to build 500 Megawatts of distributed solar energy based around existing sub-stations. Another company has proposed five 10-Megawatt PV plants in New Mexico. Which company is this? XCEL energy!
If we tweak the plan and require XCEL to buy solar energy from wholesale distributed solar plants all around Colorado, we will spread around both the benefits and the impacts. I can't imagine a county commissioner or state legislator that wouldn't want the improvement in their tax and jobs base, while at the same time reclaiming damaged land.

While the crown jewel of this national park is undoubtedly Waterpocket Fold (the second largest monocline in North America), Capitol Reef's abundance of colourful titled buttes badlands, ridges, monoliths, and canyons capture the imagination of travellers like few other things. Not to mention, this region is a wonderland for landscape photographers.

The Badminton World Federation (BWF) can confirm Suzhou, China has been awarded the hosting rights of the TotalEnergies BWF Sudirman Cup Finals 2023.
Suzhou was due to host the championships in 2021, but with BWF unable to stage any tournaments in China this year, the event was switched to Vantaa in Finland.
Suzhou will now stage the 2023 edition of the BWF World Mixed Team Championships, with original 2023 hosts India accepting the opportunity to host the BWF World Championships in 2026.
BWF Secretary General Thomas Lund said: "Suzhou has demonstrated great capabilities in planning for the 2021 edition and we look forward to bringing the TotalEnergies BWF Sudirman Cup Finals back to China in 2023.

Tomato plants grafted with Estamino rootstock.
Cedar Circle Farm is abuzz with activity – we're getting ready for Opening Day on Saturday, April 27th, making sure the greenhouses, farmstand, and Hello Café are in tip top shape. Our farmers have also been diligently seeding flowers and vegetable starts in the greenhouses, so we can start planting as soon as it's warm enough.
Just last week we were able to graft hundreds of tomato plants that will eventually produce our early season tomatoes in June. Grafting is the process of splicing two different plant varieties and joining them together to grow as one, more disease resistant and prolific plant. You can almost taste the delicious, organic red slicer tomatoes now.
While you wait for fresh summer tomatoes, try making this winter chili recipe with your preserved (or canned!) tomatoes.

Home Corporate Tata Steel exploring alternatives to UK asset sale
Tata Steel exploring alternatives to UK asset sale
Mumbai: The board of directors at Tata Steel Ltd has decided to seek strategic joint ventures with leading international steel makers for its European business after the sale of its UK assets hit a roadblock owing to uncertainty stemming from Britain's decision to exit the European Union.
After a board meeting that lasted several hours on Friday, Tata Steel said it had decided to evaluate "alternative and more sustainable" solutions for the European business.
"Consequently, Tata Steel has now entered into discussions with strategic players in the steel industry including Thyssenkrupp AG," the statement issued late on Friday night said.
"Discussions have been initiated to explore the feasibility of strategic collaborations through a possible joint venture. However, the talks are currently at a preliminary stage and there can be no certainty of a transaction as the outcome depends on consultation and negotiations with various stakeholders."
The announcement came after the UK's business secretary Sajid Javid met Tata Steel representatives on Friday in Mumbai to discuss the future of the company's UK assets.
On 30 March, Tata Steel announced plans to sell its UK steel assets, including the Port Talbot steel-making facility in Wales, in a bid to cut losses that had been piling up because of a crash in steel prices and competition from cheap imports. The decision put 15,000 jobs at risk.
Subsequently, the company started seeking bidders for the UK assets it acquired through its 2007 purchase of Corus Group Plc. for $12.9 billion.
On 9 May, the company said it has shortlisted seven bidders, including JSW Steel Ltd and Liberty House, interested in buying all of its UK steel assets.
To be sure, the company will continue with the sale talks its UK steel assets amid discussions for a joint venture for the entire Europe business, including the UK assets. These assets have been making a daily loss of £1 million. For the March 2016 quarter, Tata Steel reported a quarterly loss of Rs3,213.76 crore as it took a write-down on the value of some of its European assets.
On 24 June, the UK decided to leave the European Union in a referendum vote. The decision, analysts said, will have far-reaching impact on Tata Steel's UK operations. Europe contributes significantly to Tata Steel UK's total steel sales and changes in trade policies between the UK and the European Union would impact Tata Steel UK's operations.
"The bids received have been carefully considered in detail on the basis of their commercial value and prospects for the future sustainability of the UK business for a range of stakeholders. The bids have also been reviewed in the light of the uncertainties caused by the UK referendum and the outcome of the UK Government's consultation on the British Steel Pension Scheme," Tata Steel said in Friday's statement.
Koushik Chatterjee, group executive director and Tata Steel's executive director for Europe, said a potential strategic combination of its European "strip products businesses offers the best prospects to create a premium, world-class strip steel business with the scale and scope of capabilities to compete successfully on the global stage."
Chatterjee added that success of the new round of talks would depend largely on discussions with employees over pensions and government policy initiatives in the UK.
"It is too early to give any assurances about the success of these talks. Such success, especially the inclusion of the UK business in the potential joint venture, would depend on several issues including finding a suitable outcome for the British Steel Pension Scheme, successful discussions with the UK trade unions and the delivery of policy initiatives and other support from the Governments of the UK and Wales. These are necessary for realizing a sustainable business in the UK," Chatterjee said.
The company will also look to start a separate process to sell its specialty steel business.
"As part of this development in our European strategy, we will now also begin separate processes for the potential sale of the South Yorkshire-based Specialty Steels business and the Hartlepool pipe Mills in the UK," Chatterjee said. "Both of these operations are largely independent of the strip products supply chain with their own specific characteristics. Tata Steel UK has already received interest from several bidders for specialty steels and the pipe mills in each case and a formal process will be commencing shortly," Chatterjee added.

editorial review for the pages in between
5-Stars ~ CHRISTIAN SIA FOR READERS' FAVORITE
The Pages in Between: A Story of Love, Life & Cocktails by Renay Jordan is a heartwarming story of love, friendship, parenting and the adventure of two woman — Lilah and Isabel — on a journey that will make you question what you think you know about morals, and even your faith. This is a story that explores womanhood in the simple setting of a small town where two women decide to follow their hearts while enjoying the simple pleasures of life. There is a lot of cocktail consumption and pool bathing and merriment that attracts young girls in the neighborhood. A refreshingly entertaining story that will pose serious questions about our values and models, with a cast of compelling characters, and plot points that make the story utterly satisfying.
This is one of the most hilarious books I have read in women's fiction and Renay Jordan has the gift of bringing the humanity of the characters into the story, exploring the deep layers of their hearts. The writing is beautiful, perceptive, and it mirrors the world of the characters. The story is done in a first-person narrative that alternates between the points of view of Lilah and Isabel, and while it makes the story intimate, it also allows a stronger connection with the characters. The elements of the setting are well explored, including the social backdrop against which the narrative takes place, the colorful locales, and beautiful descriptions of the surroundings.
The prose is enriched with intelligent and well-crafted dialogues and vivid descriptions. And then there is the drama, spiced by the zest for life! This is a book for readers who enjoy novels with focused scenes, a great voice, and realism. The Pages in Between: A Story of Love, Life & Cocktails focuses on creating an exciting adventure for readers, one of those stories that inspire readers to cast off the burden of social mores and traditions that limit them from pursuing their heart's desires.
EXCERPT FROM THE PAGES IN BETWEEN
I came down the back stairs Wednesday afternoon to find Tristan standing in my kitchen.
"Oh...hi," I said. "What are you doing here?"
"Sorry," he said motioning over his shoulder toward the door. "I was looking for Ben and the door was open."
"It's one in the afternoon," I said looking at my watch. "He's in school."
This is what we had started to do. We pretended what was happening between wasn't really happening. He leaned against the door jamb in between the kitchen and the den, stuck his hands in the pockets of his jeans.
"Honestly, I came to see you."
"Oh? What can I do for you?" I asked as I walked over to the refrigerator. "Would you like something to drink?"
"Sure," he said.
His phone beeped and he took it out of his pocket and looked at it. He typed something then looked up to me.
"Sorry."
"It's okay."
I took two cans of soda out of the refrigerator and handed one to him. When I opened mine it spewed all over me and onto the floor. I ran to the sink to try to minimize the mess. Tristan came up behind me, putting his arms around me from behind and reached for the can.
"Here," he said. "Let me help you."
He took the can out of my hand and sat it in the sink. We stood there for a moment with him behind me and his arms around me. I could hear his breath in my ear. He put his hands on my waist and turned me around. I looked up to him.
"Tristan," I managed. "Maybe..."
"Don't say it," he said. He put his fingers across his lips then pressed them over mine.
He leaned down barely touching his lips to mine then pulled away. It wasn't a kiss and I sucked in my breath. My hands grasped the counter behind me. The wave of anticipation, the way my heart sunk and rose at the same time, how it felt the night he grazed his fingers across my waist, all those things passed through my mind. He put his hands on my neck and this time he really kissed me. His lips moved against mine and I closed my eyes. I thought about Isabel telling me not to touch him. Ever.
"We can't," I said when he stopped kissing me for a moment.
"Yes, we can," he whispered as he drew me back into him.

Amityville Magic, Once Upon A Time there was Fairy Tale
Amityville doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to Spirits but if there's anyone who can change that, it's the Anastasio family. They've ruled Long Island for decades with an iron fist and, every now and then, a little bit of magic.
editorial review for amityville magic
5-Stars ~ RUFFINA OSERIO FOR READERS' FAVORITE
Amityville Magic: Once Upon A Time there was Fairy Tale by Renay Jordan is a gripping tale of a city with powerful links to magic and mystery. The story begins at the funeral of Nana, who seems to have been loved by everyone in the city, but then something unusual is happening. Lorelei has come back to town and it is not certain if she's come for the burial or for her childhood sweetheart, Adrian. Tiffany Bennett has never gotten over the thought that Adrian, her brother, has been under Lorelei Anastasio's spell. Adrian finds himself torn between two women; Lorelei whom he'd loved as a child and Lilah, the woman with whom he's built a home in Woodlawn. The two women represent something essential in his life; the quest for justice, and a love so strong that he will sacrifice everything for it. As he explores the strange pattern of events, he becomes more and more convinced that a wrong in the past is about to catch up with his childhood hometown, and there might not be any stopping it.
Renay Jordan's Amityville Magic is a well-imagined and expertly accomplished story with characters that readers begin to care for right from the very first page. I was intrigued at the way Lorelei is presented from the opening pages and knew instantly that I wanted to learn more about her. Why would her presence at a funeral be cause for so much worry, and why does Adrian seem to be so cool in spite of the warnings from those closest to him? There is unpredictability in the plot and this makes the story irresistible. The author crafts very interesting dialogues and explores the emotions of the characters with finesse. This is one of those stories that feel so real one would easily think they were part of the world of the characters.
Excerpt from amityville magic
"Adrian?" I called, and he stopped at the doorway to the kitchen.
"Have you talked to Lorelei since Nana's funeral? Since the kiss?"
"I've been wondering when you were going to ask me about that," he said. "Yes, I have."
I could feel my heart beating faster inside my chest, so I took a deep breath.
"I don't want you to think I'm being possessive over you," I said carefully. "I don't want you to think I don't trust you."
"I don't think that," he said. "I'm just surprised you haven't asked me before now."
I tried to think of a simple question I could ask that wasn't about his past with her.
"What does she do?" I asked as I leaned up against the washing machine.
"For a living?" he asked.
He looked down then leaned up against the door jamb again with his hands in front of him.
"It's not your typical job," he said. "In fact, it's kind of…" He hesitated. "She's a Spiritualist."
"What's a Spiritualist?" I asked.
"She talks to dead people," he said.
"Are you screwing with me right now?" I asked. He looked down again then back up to me.
"Is this why you wanted to get rid of the Ouija board?" He laughed.
"There are a lot of malevolent Spirits out there," he said. "But no."
"You believe there are malevolent Spirits out there?" I asked.
"You're serious, aren't you?" I asked.
"You believe her?"
"That she can do it?" he asked.
"I do." He tapped his fingers on the door frame.
"Have you seen her do it?" I asked. He looked down.
"No," he said.
"But you believe her when she says she can?"
"Yes," he said. "She wouldn't lie about it, and it is my understanding a lot of people in Amityville go to her for help."
"Has she always done this?" I asked.
"I'm not sure what she did before," he said. "But she has a master's in linguistics and she's spent a lot of time overseas."
"Wow," I said. "I'm guessing she speaks several languages?"
"Yeah," he answered. "She speaks French, Swedish, Catalan, Hindi and Italian."
"What's Catalan?"
"It's kind of like Spanish," he answered. "Except it's not. I guess its closer to French and Italian. It's a romance language. She learned it while she was living in Barcelona."
"And she's talking to dead people for a living??"
"Why??" I asked. "Why wouldn't she be doing something with her degree? She could be like a world ambassador or something."
"Yeah," he said and chuckled. "She could, but she thinks her ability is more important. Not many people can do what she does."
"Talk to dead people," I said. It wasn't a question.
"Helping people," he said. I smiled. "It's something her family has been doing for generations, so I guess she feels it's her responsibility to pass it on."
"So, she gives up the possibility of being a world ambassador to pursue Spiritualism," I said. Also, not a question, but he responded anyway.
"Well, I don't think she's given it up," he said. "She's just not using it right now."
"She must be very passionate about this Spiritualism thing," I concluded.
"Yeah, she is."
"Do you think she would like me?" I asked thoughtfully.
"I think she would love you," he said and smiled.
That was a surprise.
"She wouldn't be jealous of me?" I asked.
"No," he said. "Lorelei isn't like that."
"Well, now you've made me want to meet her even more." He smiled again.
"You will," he said as he walked back over to me. He kissed me softly. "I promise."
HAPPILY EVER AFTER SECRETS (BOOK 3)
In Woodlawn, Virginia, a town filled with Southern tradition, best friends Lilah Winston and Isabel Lund are raising their seven children the best way they know how: lots of love, trial and error, and the occasional wild party when they momentarily give up. Their carefree, 'take it as it comes' lives are punctuated by their daily happy hour where they discuss life's unpredictability with absolute candor while exhibiting an enviable friendship.
In Amityville, a Long Island village filled with a magical vibe, Adrian Bennett, a seasoned DEA agent, discovers his high school sweetheart, Lorelei, has returned to their hometown. Her past with him is a tragic love story set against the dangerous undercurrent of organized crime but Adrian's heart belongs to Lilah.
He loves Lilah so intensely he's willing to sacrifice pretty much anything to keep her in his life. But even so he is harboring quite a few secrets that will threaten this love. His relationship with Lorelei being one, his involvement in a case against the politics of The Empire being the other. None of which he can share with the woman who has stolen his heart.
He's not the only one with secrets, though. Lilah has a few secrets of her own. When a man from her past emerges in Woodlawn, she is not only worried but frightened. Soon she discovers his intentions aren't what she'd imagined. He's there for many reasons but one of them is to win over her heart. He's never fallen out of love with Lilah and all he can think about is how they could finally raise their son together.
Isabel is furious about two things: the relationship Adrian has with Lorelei and the relationship Lilah is reestablishing with McCain. But instead of focusing on everyone else's problems – which she prefers to do – she has a dilemma of her own. The boys' father wants her back. But is she ready to give him her whole heart??
The path of love is never conventional. It is filled with hills, bends and hollows. So, how do you make it across this rollercoaster of unforeseen impasses? How do you keep your cool in the midst of the storm?
You keep secrets, that's how.
5* REVIEW - ROMUALD DZEMO FOR READERS' FAVORITE
Happily Ever After: Secrets by Renay Jordan is a romance filled with drama and the author knows just what it takes to craft characters that readers will root for. Lilah Winston has had a painful love experience. She enjoys the friendship of Isabel Lund, a chatty friend with whom she shares everything. But Adrian Bennett is in love with her and will do anything to have her in his life. But what about their dirty secrets from their past? Adrian has to face the fact that his high school sweetheart has returned to town, but how about the case he is involved in? A man from Lilah's past surfaces too, and among the other reasons he is in town is his desire to win her heart and get to take care of their child. Two men in love with one woman, each having a claim over her heart, but can Adrian win, and with the deepening complications, can Lilah make a choice that sets her heart free? I love stories that are told in clear and engaging voices and Renay Jordan does more than engage readers with a powerful narrative voice. The author brings life into the story, filling it with realism and writing humanity into the events. The setting is colorful and it comes out like a character in the story, filled with its own history. I loved how the author builds the relationship between the characters and the places in which the story takes place. The drama is strong, with humor running through every page, but it was the deft handling of conflict — emotional, psychological, and situational — that got me rooting for this novel. Happily Ever After: Secrets is a page-turner, a must-read!
excerpt from happily ever after secrets
Now he played Beyoncé's Halo. It was his song for me when we were in school because he said I was his Angel but I had never heard him play it on the piano. I didn't even know he could play it on the piano. Tonight, it resonated with me so deeply, tears ran down my cheeks once more and my shoulders shook. I listened as the music changed from one delicate sonata into another. Endless Love. He'd played it for me the morning after we first made love. It was first time I'd ever watched him play; the first time I'd ever watched his fingers move magically over keys.
When the music changed again it changed from Endless Love to Forever. Doesn't seem like much of a difference, does it? Endless Love should be Forever, shouldn't it? But, trust me, it's two completely different songs. A simple piano medley that after a quiet pause changed to a much more sophisticated sound. It was an electronic composition capable of changing the most doubtful of lovers into believing again.
He played sincerely. No one could ever accuse Adrian of not having talent. He had an ability not many musicians possessed. He had a reverence for music - every kind of music - which made his ability magical. Now I knew without a doubt he was in love. I could see it on his face. I watched him dance. Without me.
With her.

Was The 90s The Last Great Decade?
Let's face it. The 90s were the best. Those of us who were able to grow up and experience the best of the decade were able to experience the best out of life. The fashion, music, television, it was all my favorite. It was a time where technology was just starting to grow. We could enjoy that without being glued to our phones and computers. Heck, we still got sunshine. I'm pretty sure I'm vitamin D deficient now because of my laptop. There was an innocence in the air that just seemed to change forever after 9/11.

The second edition of "Macbeth" — edited, fully annotated and with a new introduction and much expanded line notes — has been published in the Oxfordian Shakespeare Series by Richard F. Whalen. Whalen is co-general editor of the series with Dan Wright of Concordia University in Portland, Oregon.
Whalen states that his second edition and all the editions in the series are intended for "the general educated reader who has an interest in Shakespeare plays and who might be curious to know what an Oxfordian edition of a Shakespeare play would look like." Of course, he hopes that Oxfordians might also be curious.
"Macbeth" and "Othello" are the first two plays in the Oxfordian series, with eight more — all edited by university professors — in the pipeline. These are the first editions of Shakespeare plays ever produced by Oxfordian scholars. "Othello" (2010) was co-edited by Richard and Ren Draya of Blackburn College.
"The Tragedy of Macbeth" explores the agonizing predicament and downfall of a courageous warrior who triumphs on the battlefield but fails in the arena of power politics and court intrigue. He knows he is not cut out by experience or temperament to seize the throne by assassinating the king, but he fails to resist the evil scheming of the courtier-like Thane of Ross whose lying eliminates a potential rival and clears the way to the throne for him. When the time comes to assassinate King Duncan, Macbeth is conscience-stricken but fails to stand firm against it and yields to the bullying of Lady Macbeth, who covets the throne much more than he does.
His tragic flaw is not overweening ambition, as is usually posited by traditional scholarship. To the contrary, he exhibits a surprising lack of ambition. When the Weird Sisters (a.k.a. the witches) prophesy that he will be king, he does not exult. He finds it hard to believe. He fears what lies ahead for him and tries to screw up his courage, but falters. Before murdering the sleeping king he tells his wife, "We will proceed no farther in this business," and afterwards, he says, "I am afraid to think what I have done." This character trait of fearful, reluctant ambition seems to have eluded commentators on the play.
Macbeth is induced to seize the throne against his better judgment, fearing the moral and political consequences. Once in power, he finds he must lie and deceive those around him in court. He fails to use good judgment as a monarch, ordering the murders of Banquo, Fleance and Macduff's family. Tormented by self-doubts and in spite of himself, the hero of the battlefield has become a furtive assassin and cruel tyrant. For the reader and spectator, Macbeth's struggle with his conscience and his self-inflicted assaults on his sense of honor, loyalty and self-respect evoke fascination with his plight, even a measure of sympathy for him. Macbeth is essentially an honorable man corrupted by politics.
A close reading of "Macbeth" informed by the view that Edward de Vere, seventeenth Earl of Oxford, was the author reveals a play about court intrigues and power politics and the danger of irresolute ambition by someone ill-suited to kill by assassination and practice Machiavellian duplicity.
Many thanks to Richard Whalen for providing the above excerpt from the second edition … and congratulations to him on the publication of this important work of Oxfordian scholarship.
Richard congratulations on this, I am expecting my copy any day!
'Emma's eyes were instantly withdrawn; and she sat silently meditating, in a fixed attitude, for a few minutes. A few minutes were sufficient for making her acquainted with her own heart. A mind like hers, once opening to suspicion, made rapid progress. She touched—she admitted—she acknowledged the whole truth. Why was it so much worse that Harriet should be in love with Mr. Knightley, than with Frank Churchill? Why was the evil so dreadfully increased by Harriet's having some hope of a return? It darted through her, with the speed of an arrow, that Mr. Knightley must marry no one but herself!
– but Shakespeare has taken this further than anyone else! This author has to have done this in his own life to an inordinate extent – and then woken up to it!!

HMAS Kangaroo was a Bar-class boom defence vessel of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Although originally ordered as a boom vessel, Kangaroo was at one point to be built as the prototype for what became the Bathurst class corvettes, but reverted to the boom defence design before construction started. Launched in 1940, the ship spent most of World War II operating the anti-submarine net in Darwin. Kangaroo remained in service until 1955, and after several years as an accommodation ship, was sold for scrapping in 1967.

Design and construction
In 1937, three ships were ordered by the RAN for use as Boom Defense Vessels. The plan was altered in early 1938 to require only two ships; the third, Kangaroo was earmarked to be constructed as a prototype local defense vessel. The RAN's Director of Engineering was instructed to prepare plans for the ship in July 1938, which were completed six months later. The ship was to weigh 680 tons, with a speed of , and a range of . Kangaroo would have been armed with two 4-inch guns and depth charges, and equipped with asdic.

Before construction could begin, the number of boom vessels was increased back to three, and Kangaroo was laid down to this design by Cockatoo Docks and Engineering Company on 15 November 1939. Kangaroo was launched on 4 May 1940, and commissioned into the RAN on 27 September 1940. The unused design was later modified and used for the Bathurst class corvettes.

Operational history
Kangaroo arrived in Darwin in January 1941 and established and maintained the anti-submarine boom in Darwin Harbour with three similar vessels. Kangaroo suffered damage and one fatality during the bombing of Darwin in February 1942. She was repaired in Brisbane from 1 April to 20 May 1942 and spent the remainder of the war in Darwin. She received the battle honour "Darwin 1942–43" for her wartime service.

Kangaroo remained in active commission after the war and performed various duties Australian and New Guinea waters during the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Decommissioning and fate
She paid off to reserve on 15 December 1955 and was used as an accommodation ship. Kangaroo was sold for scrap on 28 August 1967 and was scrapped in 1968.

The often-overlooked players in the hotel supply chain are the toilet paper suppliers, yet no hotel business can reach its full potential without a constant and reliable supply of bulk toilet paper and bulk tissues.
In the New Zealand hospitality industry, Astro has become a trusted name as a hotel toilet paper wholesale supplier. This did not happen by accident. We have worked hard to create a reputation for excellence in the supply of wholesale toilet paper and tissues to our many hotel and motel customers throughout New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
The journey to becoming the top wholesale toilet paper suppliers in all of New Zealand started in 1998. Over the years, we've learned all the business lessons we needed to learn, so that today we're a leading hotel toilet tissue supplier, and we will still be tomorrow as well.
While it may not be immediately obvious, hotel toilet tissue supplies are essential to any New Zealand accommodation business. The choice of toilet paper you provide will have a discrete but noticeable impact upon the perception guests form about the overall quality of your business.

Astro has a very wide selection of toilet paper products, so it shouldn't be any difficulty at all to find the right toilet paper for your hotel.
