Arch-ive —
Arch-ive investigates the books that have been influential to leading practitioners. It aims to showcase architects' relationship with books and the way in which they utilise, interrogate and display architectural resources.
2. Tony Fretton
Tony Fretton Architects / 1982 - Present
London - UK
'An Unguarded Art Form'
Books have played a significant role in Tony Fretton's life, whether reading or writing them. You may have heard him talk about them during a lecture, or even been told to read one as a student of his. We were lucky enough to spend the afternoon with Tony, delving a little deeper into his library. An insight into the literature that has been influential throughout his personal life and career.
Graduating from the AA, Tony went on to work for various practices before setting up Tony Fretton Architects in 1982. The award-winning practice has gone on to create a multitude of magnificent buildings, including The Red House, The British Embassy in Warsaw and The Lisson Gallery in London. The practice works across a variety of scales, but always takes a social and civic stance; significantly affecting the material world in which they stand.
Numerous books have focused on the work of his own practice, including 'Tony Fretton Architects: Buildings and their Territories', published by Birkhäuser Basel in 2013. This provides a comprehensive overview of the practice's work, whilst 'A E I OU - Articles, Essays, Interviews, and Outtakes' (Jap Sam Books, 2018), provides a critical insight into Tony's thinking with a collection of "articles on other architects, essays on the historical currents in architecture, interviews in which Fretton lays out the developing bases of his practices, and out-takes: ideas and phrases retrieved from early drafts and unpublished writing."
Marrying with his writing, Tony has had a longstanding involvement with academia, from being an AA unit Master in the 1990's, holding the Chair of Architecture and Interiors at TU Delft between 1999 and 2013, as well as currently running a Unit at Cass and being a visiting Professor at the University of East London. This generosity really shines in the interview as Tony talks us through the literature that has influenced his practice, always with a coinciding anecdote or story to match.
Incredulously, Tony is in the process of numbering several hundred of his sketchbooks in preparation for a showcase of his drawings at the V&A. Keep your eyes peeled as it will definitely be worth a visit later this year.
How many books do you currently have in your office?
I don't know if I could even estimate. Honestly, I couldn't tell you. Several hundred.
Where do you store them, and how are they organised?
Most of them are in the house. I don't take books to the office, I find them too personal. I fear that they would be lost.
Art books are in the kitchen and architecture books in the living room. On the staircase, there are some shelves that have got everything else that doesn't fit into any other category. I've had to prioritise the monographs, the ones that are worth something, in that bookshelf [points to the living room]. I get given books all the time and it drives me crazy. Some of them I read, some of them I store, some of them I sell!
"If you like architecture books: you have to buy them when you see them, putting your credit card down and closing your eyes. Buy them because they go out of print so quickly."
Everybody I know who is a serious collector of books is always buying and selling them. When I was at Delft, a friend of mine, the professor of History, had an entire room full of books. When I went to Joseph Rykwert's house, it's exactly the same - every surface covered with books. Robert Steiger, the editor of our Birkhäuser Monograph, a fantastically charming man, was an architectural editor/writer and his wife was a professor of English. They had books everywhere. It was really charming. They had everything, including English poetry, and I read a WH Auden poem to them, very slowly
I designed the bookcases for the apartment I lived in Soho, which was a completely different shape. When I arrived here I had to decide where to put them. Now the one made of clear polycarbonate is in the dining room-kitchen, where it enjoys beautiful light.
What has been the most influential book throughout your time practicing as an architect?
Louis Kahn. His amazing book of sketches. Its format is crazy, end on [portrait], so that you can't read it on your lap. It has Kahn's sketches of all of his projects with photographs. I remember buying it in Germany on my way to Austria to give a lecture. It beckoned to me from a lovely bookshop and I had to have it. It weighs a tonne and I'd also bought a pair of walking shoes on the trip. I carried them both all the way back to London, where I found it was also on sale. If you like architecture books: you have to buy them when you see them, putting your credit card down and closing your eyes. Buy them because they go out of print so quickly. I have a wonderful double volume Lewerentz book that you can't get anymore. One volume has the drawings and the other photographs of the buildings, all in chronological order with the work getting more abstract over time. There's a great photo of Lewerentz inside looking incredibly naughty. He moved from Stockholm to Lund where it's slightly warmer when he got older.
There's a famous photograph of him in the extension that Klas Anshelm made in his house for Lewerentz' retirement with only a roof light. Lewerentz is reputed to have said 'this is how people think I live but actually I would have liked a window.' Lewerentz' work made a reappearance when I was teaching at Delft. Architects go out of fashion and are then rediscovered by a new generation. That rediscovery by Dutch architects took place in the magazine called OASE, run by a changing group of writers/practitioners. Each cover is designed by the atelier of the renowned Dutch designer Karel Martens. In his Atelier he trains graphic designers. Each graphic designer gets a chance to design a cover of OASE. We made a book together for Navado Press with Karel on 'Designing the Warsaw Embassy'.
Another great favourite of mine is Alan Colquhoun's, 'Essays in Architectural Criticism'. A great classic. The writing is beautiful. OASE did a full issue on his life and work. Oase's method is to publish a theme and invite abstracts, which are reviewed and selected. Richard Hall from East Architects was selected in that way to write an article about architectural drawing from the 80s and 90s, which turned out to be my architectural drawing from the 80s and 90s.
The Housing Chair in Delft produces very good books on housing in a series called Dash, which, perversely they decline to publish digitally and do not distribute outside the Netherlands. It's a real shame.
This book, 'Parliament' is by David Mulder and his co-writer, who graduated from my Chair at Delft. It reviews different parliament buildings and the political consequences of their layout, in a very interesting way.
How do you work with books? Do you take notes, annotate, read aloud, draw...?
I absorb them. I don't directly quote from them. To innovate you must absorb and change. Francis Bacon would buy a book because he would see one image he wanted to use. It's shocking but he just tore it out and threw the rest of the book away. There's a very famous photo of his studio, covered in ripped-out images. He knew what he wanted and discarded the rest. There's a great interview with Jasper Johns by David Sylvester at a time when art critics thought they could dictate to an artist. Sylvester highlighted that there seemed to be a lot of things Johns didn't want to do, to which he replied, 'I know what I don't want to do and that's a lot to know!' To know that is to be on the path to originality.
"Le Corbusier remarked 'after a while you somehow have enough going on inside you to not need to look at what other people are doing all the time'. But in truth I am always looking."
Where do you find the books you collect?
The AA Bookshop is very good. I also used to get a lot on my travels. When I was in New York in the 1980s, I went to the wonderful book shop of Jaap Reitman, which is not there anymore, unfortunately. It was a loft full of second-hand books. I got a Charlotte Perriand book there which I've never seen anywhere else. I've bought books in Cologne at Walther Koenig's fabulous shop, well ahead of everybody's taste. I found Dan Graham books in there that I really treasure.
But I'm not buying books so much anymore. I'm exhausted in a way. Early in Kahn's career, he was obsessed with Le Corbusier's 'Œuvre complète' but one day he just stopped looking at it. He remarked 'after a while you somehow have enough going on inside you to not need to look at what other people are doing all the time'. But in truth I am always looking. Currently, it is Jan de Vylde because I think he's extremely original. When you see a generation doing something completely different from you, but they recognise the importance of your own work, which is how it is with Jan, that is really pleasing.
If you could re-discover one book, what would it be?
A book that should be written and hasn't been is about a Dutch architect from the 17th Century called Philips Vingboons. I've only ever seen an antique book about him. I've had a look to see if there is another book on his work but there isn't. There are some architects that really need a book and nothing else will do. Another example is James Gowan. Stirling has had a substantial body of writing by Charles Jencks, Robert Maxwell... but apart from Mark Crinsom, Gowan has been rather overlooked
After seeing and liking his work in Sri Lanka I found an impressive comprehensive book on Geoffrey Bawa. If I am struck by someone's work I buy all the books on them that I can. If there is an exhibition on their work I will go to it and buy the catalogue.
"I try to get students to gather from other architects what suits them, to help them shape their own sensibility. Architecture is the most generous art form, it is unguarded."
What book would you recommend every young, aspiring architect to read?
Whether they would read it or not, I would recommend 'Essays in Architectural Criticism' by Alan Colquhoun. It is beautifully written. When you are studying architecture, you do not have the apparatus that develops as your career progresses. I do make suggestions to my students of architect and theoretical texts to study but only if I think they would illuminate the path down which they are heading.
I try to get students to gather from other architects what suits them, to help them shape their own sensibility. Architecture is the most generous art form, it is unguarded. But you have to get through a student's reluctance to borrow; they often feel that they're not being original. Recently, I was in Ghent and on the jury for a drawing competition and a very interesting conversation developed with Dirk Somers of Bovenbouw. He said that he doesn't sketch at all, but talks about buildings he likes and borrows from them, including mine and then transforms them so deeply that they become his!

Why is the U.S. falling behind in technology?
January 9, 2014 /in Business Technology /by rsadmin
Want something to feel depressed about? What about the recent column in InformationWeek from commentator Kevin Coleman? In it, Coleman writes that the United States is slowly falling from its perch as the globe's technology leader. The United States is becoming a tech laggard, according to Coleman's remarks.
Coleman comments that research-and-development, science and technology investments in the United States are not keeping pace with those by other nations. At the same time, the United States faces an ever-growing threat from smarter and more persistent cyber thieves. These two factors are chipping away at the United States' long held dominance of the technology world.
A change
There was a time, not long ago, when all countries looked up to the United States when it came to technology and innovation, Coleman writes. And it's still true that the United States spends more on technology and research-and-development than any other country. Even so the gap between the United States and its closest competitors is shrinking, Coleman writes.
A powerful China
As Coleman writes, the BBC has predicted that by the end of this year China will rank in front of the United States in terms of scientific output. China has recently passed Japan to rank second in the world in this category. Coleman's column also points to a U.S. Intelligence Community report stating that the United States' dominance in technology is slowly but steadily fading. What can the United States do to change this trend? As Coleman writes, investing more in high-tech education could help. Only by doing this, will the United States produce the next generation of great scientists and researchers.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection causes airport mayhem on Labor Day weekend
By Gersh Kuntzman
This is how returning Americans were treated at JFK on Sunday. Long lines seen at John F. Kennedy International Airport on September 4, 2016. (New York Daily News)
These are the pictures your government doesn't want you to see.
But they depict the scene on Sunday afternoon as several thousand Americans waited more than an hour for the privilege of re-entering their homeland with their valid U.S. passports in the middle of the busy Labor Day weekend.
This system is broken, taxpayers. The bureaucrats need to do better.
For a while, in fact, it appeared they were: Travel industry analysts had sounded the alarm earlier this summer when hours-long pre-boarding security delays stranded passengers and ruined vacations. At that time, the Transportation Security Administration vowed to hire more agents to handle the busy summer season and, by many reports, the TSA has improved its intake system.
JFK Customs - what's going on from 9:30 pm today - long lines and no one being processed. No info forthcoming. What a welcome home!
— SriRocker (@SriRockerUS) August 15, 2016
But the delays remain on the other end. Not to go all "first-person" on you, but I returned from a trip abroad on Sunday at 4:15 p.m. and was promptly sent into the U.S. Customs and Border Protection rings of hell: endlessly looping ribbons of humanity heading towards the officers who stamp your passport. I took some pictures to document the scene and promptly got yelled at by a border guard, whom I thanked for helping me write the lede of this story.
Americans scan themselves in using a system that's easy for Millennials but tough on everyone else (New York Daily News)
Finally, when I got to the front of the line, there was more, not less, mayhem because the airlines have installed dozens of machines to take your picture and scan your passport. Let me rephrase that: the airlines have installed dozens of machines that require you to take your own picture and to scan your own passport. This system is flawed. First, a poorly trained airline worker tells you to, "Just take the first open machine you find," which leads to lines at some machines and vacancies at others because no one's monitoring who goes where. How come Trader Joe's can manage lines better than the government (that's a rhetorical question, of course)?
Then, I finally got to the machine itself. In an effort to replace highly paid agents with kiosks, the feds have allowed it to become worse. Ever watch an 80-year-old at an ATM? That's about as well as most fliers handle this system. Even reasonably techno-savvy people have no idea what to do, as they are likely encountering this system for the first time. I, for one, had never scanned a passport before. I had never been asked to grab a handle and position my head inside a silhouette of a normal-shaped head and press a button on a TV screen to take a selfie.
I asked the Customs and Border Protection people what's going on, but they were off for Labor Day and didn't get back to me to explain how it is possible that I could get off a plane at 4:15 p.m. yet not be through customs until 6 p.m.
Long lines seen at John F. Kennedy International Airport on September 4, 2016. The "please wait" screen is a fitting symbol. (New York Daily News)
One thing I know they'll tell me is that I should have signed up for the agency's Global Entry system, a pre-approved "trusted traveler" program that costs $100 and requires advance screening for "low-risk" travelers. Indeed, had I paid the $100 for the first-class service, I would have skipped the entire line at JFK on Sunday.
@TSA Seriously with these customs lines at JFK?! No order, no organization & obnoxious waiting times for US citizens pic.twitter.com/QroutLBToN
— Matteo Ceurvels (@matteo_ceurvels) July 19, 2016
It's a great system — if you believe that the government should discriminate on the basis of class. But the Global Entry system is nothing but the rich being allowed to buy themselves out of a hassle that the rest of us are forced to endure. To me, it's the same principle that allowed the wealthy buy their way out of the Civil War draft. At least then there were riots.
Despite promises to hire more border guards, holiday lines at JFK were hours long (New York Daily News)
Instead of offering the wealthy better service, the government should ensure equal — and high-quality — service for all. But by appeasing the rich, a scary federal agency buys the silence of the powerful. Indeed, during my time on line on Sunday, I heard plenty of people complaining to each other — but when they got to the uniformed personnel themselves, no one said a word to the guards.
Of course not — the line to be strip-search and detained moves even slower!

Q: Text area with ck editor returns a null value when sending data to ajax laravel and jQuery In the text area of my form, I have integrated CK editor and it shows the editor very well in the textarea, but the issue is when I add value in the text area and try to send it via ajax I get a null value being sent. But when I remove the ck editor code the code is being sent. Which point might I be missing here?
on clicking the create policy button the addeitpolicymodal is called..
// add a new policy
  $(document).on('click','#createpolicy',function(){
     $('#addeditpolicymodal').modal('toggle');
     $('.addeditpolicy_title').html('Add A new Policy');
     $('#savepolicy').html('Create the Policy');
     // integrate ck editor

An AMAZING vintage ball gown that was originally custom made in 1964 (or maybe in 1963 for a 1964 wedding... I can't quite remember what we were told) as a wedding gown... and what a unique wedding gown it is! Short sleeved bodice with subtle sweetheart type neckline and exaggerated basque waist. Fabulously gathered skirt with train. Train can be gathered into a bustle using the buttoms on the back. Dress has attached, full tulle hip panniers and was shown here with a crinoline (not included and possibly too much volume for the dress anyway). Rear metal zipper.
Size: 37" bust, 27" waist, free hips. Approximately 57" from shoulder to hem (71" to the end of the train when down).
Condition: In good condition. A tiny pick at the center neckline. The faintest orangey line at the udnerarms (really hard to pick out because of the color and sheen of the fabric). There is a silver dollar sized water spot on the front center panel several inches below the waist. There is an orange spot below the left hip. Dirt scuffs scattered through the skirt (I don't think this was ever cleaned after the big day and would benefit tremendously from a good cleaning). A couple of water type spots at the hem and a couple of other small orange spots on the skirt. A pin hole on the rear hip. The edges of the train are really dirty from dragging the ground. One of the buttons to secure the bustle is missing it's fabric cover.

Matinas BioPharma Receives FDA Clearance to Initiate Phase 1 Clinical Study of MAT2501 for the Treatment of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacterium Infections
Feb 2, 2016 9:50am
BEDMINSTER, N.J., Feb. 01, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matinas BioPharma Holdings, Inc.(OTCQB:MTNB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on identifying and developing safe and effective therapeutics for the treatment of serious and life-threatening infections, today announced that its Investigational New Drug ("IND") application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") is now open and the Company is authorized to initiate a Phase 1 clinical study for investigational drug, MAT2501 (encochleated amikacin), for the treatment of non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) infections, its lead chronic indication.
"The encouraging preclinical data demonstrating MAT2501's oral bioavailability and its targeted delivery of amikacin directly to the site of infection in NTM infections, gives us confidence as we prepare for our upcoming Phase 1 study," stated Roelof Rongen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Matinas BioPharma. "Importantly, we believe our oral encochleated formulation of MAT2501 has the potential to address the many shortcomings that currently exist in the treatment of both chronic and acute bacterial infections with IV administration of amikacin, including major side effects associated with toxicity."
MAT2501, an orally-administered, encochleated formulation of the broad spectrum IV-only aminoglycoside antibiotic agent amikacin, utilizes the Company's proprietary, lipid-crystal, nanoparticle delivery technology. Amikacin is currently used to treat different types of chronic and acute bacterial infections, including NTM infections and various multidrug-resistant gram negative bacterial infections. IV-administered amikacin is associated with major side effects including nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity (permanent loss of hearing) with long-term use.
Matinas BioPharma's MAT2501 encochleated formulation of amikacin is specifically designed to provide for the targeted delivery of this potent antibiotic while providing a significantly improved safety and tolerability profile. In preclinical studies MAT2501 demonstrated oral bioavailability and targeted delivery of amikacin directly to the site of infection in both pulmonary (lung) and disseminated NTM infections. The FDA designated MAT2501 as a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) for the treatment of NTM infections in December of 2015.
Jerome D. Jabbour, the Company's Co-founder and Chief Business Officer, commented, "The achievement of this regulatory milestone underscores the significance of MAT2501's robust preclinical data package. We look forward to promptly advancing this program into clinical development. We believe MAT2501 has the potential to be the first orally-available aminoglycoside, representing a disruptive, game-changing shift in the treatment paradigm for both chronic and acute bacterial infections, including both NTM and gram negative bacterial infections, and an important solution for physicians and patients."
Matinas BioPharma expects to commence the Phase 1 program of MAT2501 during the first half of 2016. The first planned Phase 1 trial is a placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of MAT2501 following oral administration in healthy adult subjects. After completion of this first study, the second study will be a placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK of MAT2501 at up to three different doses in healthy volunteers and is designed to establish a complete PK profile of MAT2501 including peak and trough levels in a multiple-dose regimen.
About Nontuberculous Mycobacteria
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are naturally occurring organisms found in water, soil, plants and animals. NTM causes many serious and life-threatening diseases, including pulmonary disease, skin and soft tissue disease, joint infections and, in immunocompromised individuals, disseminated infection. The most common clinical manifestation of NTM disease is pulmonary, or lung, disease. NTM lung infection occurs when a person inhales the organism from their environment. While most people do not become ill, some individuals develop a slow, progressive and destructive disease when NTM infects the airways and lung tissue leading to inflammation in the respiratory system. Individuals susceptible to the infection often have an unknown defect in their lung structure or immune system, lung damage from a pre-existing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), such as emphysema and bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, or an immune deficiency disorder, such as HIV or AIDS.
There are about 50,000 to 90,000 people with NTM pulmonary disease in the United States, with a much higher frequency in older adults, and these numbers appear to be increasing. However, NTM can affect any age group. Without treatment, the progressive lung infection caused by NTM results in severe cough, fatigue, and often weight loss. In some people NTM infections can become chronic and require ongoing treatment. Treatment may be difficult because NTM bacteria may be resistant to many common types of antibiotics. Severe NTM lung disease can have a significant impact on quality of life and can be life-threatening.
About MAT2501
MAT2501 is an orally administered, encochleated formulation of the broad spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic amikacin which may be used to treat different types of multidrug-resistant bacteria, including non-tubercular mycobacterial infections (NTM), as well as various multidrug-resistant gram negative and intracellular bacterial infections. Currently, amikacin cannot be absorbed enterally and must be given by intravenous, intramuscular or nebulization routes with the significant risk of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity, which makes it an impractical choice when treating serious infections which often require long courses of therapy, often 12 to 18 months or longer. MAT2501, taking advantage of its disruptive, nano-encapsulation delivery technology, is being developed to provide an orally administered, safer and targeted therapy for improved treatment of these serious and life-threatening bacterial infections in patients, including those who are severely immunocompromised.
About Matinas BioPharma
Matinas BioPharma is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on identifying and developing safe and effective broad spectrum therapeutics for the treatment of serious and life-threatening infections. The Company's proprietary, disruptive technology utilizes lipid-crystal nano-particle cochleates to nano-encapsulate existing drugs, making them safer, more tolerable, less toxic and orally bioavailable. The Company's lead drug candidate is MAT2203, an orally-administered, encochleated formulation of amphotericin B (a broad spectrum fungicidal agent). The Company has an open Investigational New Drug (IND) application for MAT2501, which is an orally-administered, encochleated formulation of amikacin (a broad spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic agent) for acute bacterial infections, including non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) and multi-drug resistant gram negative bacterial infections. In addition, the Company is exploring development and partnership options for MAT9001, a prescription-only omega-3 fatty acid-based composition under development for hypertriglyceridemia, which has shown superiority versus Vascepa®(icosapent ethyl) in reducing serum triglycerides, Total- and Non-HDL-Cholesterol, apolipoproteins and PCSK9 levels.
The Company's lead anti-infective product candidates, MAT2203 and MAT2501, position Matinas BioPharma to become a leader in the safe and effective delivery of anti-infective therapies utilizing its proprietary lipid-crystal nano-particle cochleate formulation technology.

By Jessica Terrell | Orange County Register
ANAHEIM – An emotional but peaceful crowd of protesters gathered Sunday for a nearly five-hour rally marking the anniversary of two fatal officer-involved shootings that sparked several days of unrest in the city.
The event, promoted by the activist group Act Now to Stop War and End Racism as a "statewide march against police brutality," drew several hundred protesters from across California – including the families of at least 11 Orange County residents fatally shot by law-enforcement officers over the past nine years.
"Everyone here is upset," said Anaheim resident Elizabeth Zuniga, who was marching with her 5-year-old son. "They don't want people to forget."
The protest began in front of City Hall at 1 p.m. and moved to the nearby police station around 3 p.m. After several hours at the station, the march made its way along Harbor Boulevard to South Street, then turned back on Anaheim Boulevard, returning to City Hall.
Carrying signs with words like "We are not anti police, we are anti police brutality" and "protect and serve, not attack and kill," local protesters said they hoped the event would raise awareness about police tactics and inspire more residents to attend council meetings and become politically active in the city.
The unrest in Anaheim last year began on July 24, after officers shot and killed Manuel Angel Diaz, 25, on July 21 and Joel Mathew Acevedo, 21, on July 22. Diaz was unarmed; police say Acevedo opened fire on police during a foot chase. The Orange County District Attorney's Office cleared officers of wrongdoing in both shootings.
"We need these cops arrested for their crimes," said Diaz's mother, Genevieve Huizar. "We want them to go to court and go to jail."
Families at the event on Sunday said the police were wrong to use lethal force in both instances and are pushing for changes in how officer-involved shootings are reviewed.
"He was a human being," said Donna Acevedo, Joel Acevedo's mother. "He should have been treated like one."
Acevedo said she now tells everyone to videotape their interactions with the police and is advocating for the creation of a citizens advisory commission in Anaheim. "That's the only way things will change in Anaheim and the police will be held accountable," Acevedo said.
The Police Department has made several changes in the past year, including increasing public outreach in neighborhoods where the shootings occurred, holding public forums and requiring officers to make an audio recording of all interactions with the public, said police spokesman Sgt. Bob Dunn – something that was optional in the past.
"The Police Department is listening," Dunn said. "Every time we've heard something that we can implement, within the scope of what we can implement, we have."
Motorcycle officers blocked off a section of Harbor Boulevard to redirect traffic but, for the most part, kept their distance.
Protesters used chalk to write messages on the wall and ground outside the police station. Anaheim police Sgt. Michael Bustamante said a male was arrested on suspicion of vandalism, the only arrest related to the protest reported as of 8 p.m. Police said he was writing on the police station with a marker.
A vigil for Acevedo is planned at 6:30 p.m. today at 22 Guinida Lane. Protesters also plan to attend the City Council meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Our speaker for August is Nancy Burns, a California certified Acupuncturist and Herbalist. She is a professor at Five Branches University and has been an active member of the San Jose community for 25 years. She will discuss acupuncture, a 3000 year old medical practice that Western medicine recognizes as a safe and effective treatment method for many conditions, including chronic pain, exhaustion, neck and back issues, migraines, insomnia, depression, fibromyalgia and other conditions. Acupuncture treatment involves the stimulation of specific points along meridians or channels throughout the body; treatment offers to correct imbalances in the system by placing super-thin needles through the skin at precise points. Nancy was well received at a Senior's group recently to the point where she was immediately asked for follow up information.

Who owns your online accounts? What happens when you die? Have you ever read the agreement you acknowledge when you create an account? Twice yearly I attend extensive training from Ed Slott, CPA and his team. The Wall Street Journal calls Ed Slott the nation's best source of IRA advice. Additionally you may have seen Ed Slott on PBS during pledge week. He is one of the all-time top fundraisers for PBS. If you look closely at the show – you will see me in the audience! At our October 2016 training with Ed Slott we dove into the subject of digital estate planning. Do you have accounts you "share", that is, you have one "joint" account? Did you know that online accounts are never joint?
At this point we have taught some of our chapter members to publish content on the Internet; they can boast that they are creating webpages – might have been fun at the Thanksgiving dinner table.
What's the solution? There is some legislation that can be suggested and adopted by various states. At the time of the training in October California was not one of those states. Maybe we can see what AARP can do to help lobby for a solution? Until something changes you should be aware that when a person passes away – access to their account is likely not authorized, even if their trust and estate documents make provision for such access.

Hunt Real Estate Capital Provides a $7.83 Million FHA 223(f) Loan to Refinance a Multifamily Property Located in Worcester, Massachusetts
Press Release 01/10/20
This content was created and published by one of Lument's legacy companies. Hunt Real Estate Capital, Lancaster Pollard, and RED Capital Group are now Lument.
Hunt Real Estate Capital announced today that it has provided a loan in the amount of $7.83 million to refinance a Section 8 Elderly Affordable property located in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Emanuel Village Apartments is a 75-unit elderly (age 62+) head of household and disabled Section 8 affordable multifamily property located at 59 Evelyn Street.
The community was initially developed under the Section 202 program. The Section 202 financing was retired in 2005 with a refinance under the Section 223(f) program, and that loan was retired when the borrower acquired the asset. The new Section 223(f) loan has a 35-year term.
"The borrower acquired Emanuel Village Apartments in mid-2018 and has secured the new loan to retire existing short-term bridge financing and recapitalize the asset for the long term with FHA insured financing," commented Suzanne Cope, Director at Hunt Real Estate Capital.
"The property has historically benefited from a project based Section 8 HAP Contract that covers all 75 of the units," added Kevin Deegan, Director at Hunt Real Estate Capital. "The HAP Contract was assigned and assumed by the borrower upon acquisition, and they have applied for and received a new 20-year HAP Contract."
Emanuel Village was built in 1991 and is situated on a 3.83-acre parcel of land. The unit mix includes 19 efficiency/one-bathroom apartments and 56 one-bedroom, one-bathroom units.
Property amenities include on-site leasing and management offices, a central laundry facility, a community room area with kitchen and billiard table on the first floor, lounge room on the fourth floor, and a three-season porch that was added in 2001. The borrower plans to add a business center to the fourth floor lounge area, an exercise facility within the large community room on the first floor, and an outside gazebo.
"When Americans discuss the affordable housing crisis or the lack of modern, rent-subsidized apartments, we tend to view the problem through the lens of new affordable development. However, this property highlights the importance of affordable housing preservation," added Deegan.
The property operates at capacity in terms of historical occupancy and currently has a two-year wait list. Parking is provided via 59 self-serve surface spaces with 11 designated handicap accessible spaces.

A Statement From The Manager
I would like to thank our fans for their incredible support in the FA Cup Final on Saturday. You were absolutely brilliant and we're sorry that we couldn't bring the FA Cup back to South London for you. It was an unbelievable day and one that will live long in the memories of the millions who watched on the television, and the thousands inside the stadium.
Its been 9 years since The new Wembley Stadium was opened in 2007, and in my opinion I don't think The FA Cup Final has seen a more passionate, vibrant, vocal atmosphere than what our fans provided on Saturday.
From the moment our players walked out to inspect the pitch, to the final whistle in extra time, your support was everything we could have wished for.
On behalf of my backroom staff and the players I just want to tell you how much we appreciated it. The feedback has been so positive, and will only make us more determined moving forward to try and bring some silverware back to Selhurst Park.
Once again, thank you for your overwhelming support at Wembley, have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you again in August.

After finding foot and mouth disease virus; Russia bans import of Indian beef
Posted By: adminon: October 07, 2015 In: National BusinessNo Comments
New Delhi: Amid the raging debate over cow slaughter, Russia has banned Buffalo meat imports from India after its observers found Foot and Mouth Disease virus in a consignment. According to sources, Russia had earlier this year decided to import buffalo meat from India following prolonged talks and inspection of meat processing units in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.
"The decision will hit at least three meat processing units in Aligarh, Barabanki and Rampur in Uttar Pradesh and another unit in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. Russian inspectors found the virus in the meat during examination of consignments and immediately took the decision to stop import from these units," the sources said.
They added that the government has asked these units to ensure that such lapses do not recur.
The government has laid down standards for export of meat, which include standards for abattoir, processing plants and for various meat products.
As per the existing policy, each export consignment is subjected to compulsory microbiological and other tests and a comprehensive pre-shipment inspection is issued by the government veterinarian.
India is the world's largest beef exporter — which is actually Buffalo meat, not cow meat. Meat of cow, oxen and calf is prohibited under the foreign trade policy for export. The figure related to buffalo meat exports in the financial year 2014-15 shows growth of 10 per cent with total exports touching `29,282 crore.
But, the latest figure released by the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) says buffalo meat exports between April-August 2015 have gone down by 8.82 per cent.
The APEDA, which comes under the Ministry of Commerce, says in April-August 2014-15, India exported 5,35,299 MTs of buffalo meat, earning `10382 crore. However, this year during the same period, India's buffalo meat export was only 4,68,381 MTs, which earned the country a total of `9,466 crore.

"It is not a good policy to have these massive subsidies for (U.S.) first generation ethanol," said Gore, speaking at a green energy business conference in Athens sponsored by Marfin Popular Bank.
"First generation ethanol I think was a mistake. The energy conversion ratios are at best very small.
Gore supported so-called second generation technologies which do not compete with food, for example cellulosic technologies which use chemicals or enzymes to extract sugar from fibre for example in wood, waste or grass.
I'm a less able than Mr. Gore to believe that high-value fuel crops will be grown in a way that doesn't compete with food production, but if private-citizen Gore wants to invest his own money in technology investment I wish him all the luck.


The Hunter Norns are a genetic breed created by KnyteTrypper. In their younger stages, they are a bright green until they reach adulthood, when they turn dark. Various notably aggressive Norn species such as the Hardman Norns, Draig Norns, Sphinx Norns, and Nenya Norns were interbred, as well as infamous killer Norns like Fiona and Quilla. When other factors were optimal, a beautifully-colored Norn created by Anduin was introduced to the genetic strain to give the breed its unique look. The Hunter Norns are also interbred with the generation 44,000+ Norns from Creatures @ CU7 to help in the preservation of what is perhaps one of the oldest bloodlines still existent in the Creatures Community.
While the Hunter Norns get along reasonably well with Ettins and other Norns, they are highly antagonistic to Grendels. Young Hunters literally hop up and down in anger almost constantly, though a good tickling will generally calm them down for a few moments. When they get older they develop a wanderlust, and go looking for some grendels to kill.
The Hunter Norns were a featured download at KnyteTrypper's C3/DS Nexus. They can be downloaded from Creatures Caves here.

Q: warning in codeblocks, "operation may be undefined" I get a warning, not an error, and when I ignore the warning and build/run anyway, my code seems to be working just fine.  I am still worried, though, because of the warning, or maybe I just want to understand it.
This function appends a single char to the beginning of a string.
void s_pfx(char pf, char *s){

    i = -1;
    while(s[++i]);
    s[i + 1] = '\0';

    while(i)
        s[i] = s[--i];

    s[i] = pf;
}

The warning is at the while loop, when I pre-decrement i.  (I have i as a global variable.)
The warning is "warning: operation on 'i' may be undefined [-Wsequence-point]"
I can fix it by using
while(i){
    s[i] = s[i - 1];
    i--;
}

but why should I have to do it that way?  It seems that would eat up time, nanoseconds maybe, but it will add up.
I don't understand why the compiler can't understand the code.  It seems pretty well-defined to me.  I looked at some of the other similar questions/answers but this seems a lot simpler.
Help!  Thanks.

A: The error is indeed in the expression s[i] = s[-- i].
The C specification requires that some operators act as "sequence points" — that is, that their first operand is fully evaluated before the second one. The = operator, however, is not — meaning that the compiler can evaluate the expression in any order.
This is not a problem when you do something like i = i + 3 because the left hand sign of an assignment is not evaluated (it is written to, not read). But you're using pointers there. s[i] really means *(s + i) in C; the brackets are syntax sugar.
So you really have *(s + i) = *(s + --i) in there. And that expression reads i on the left hand side (it must evaluate the sum to calculate the address where the data will be stored) and it writes to i on the right hand side (--i). And there is no fixed order of evaluation, because = is not a sequence point.
That means that the read could go before or after the write. In those cases, the C standard says that the operation is undefined, meaning that the compiler can make that branch of the code do literally anything.

Mayor Duggan trounces Adams for a third term
By Steve Neavling on Tue, Nov 2, 2021 at 9:59 pm
City of Detroit
Mayor Mike Duggan.
Mayor Mike Duggan easily defeated challenger Anthony Adams for a third term.
Duggan received 64% of the vote, with nearly 75% of the precincts counted, as of 10 p.m. Tuesday, The Detroit News reports.
Duggan was widely expected to win. He raised more than $2.6 million in campaign donations, enabling him to flood social media, the radio, and television with advertisements. His campaign also erected billboards, handed out thousands of yard signs, and hired political consultants.
Adams, on the other hand, raised only $14,650, according to his campaign statements. Adams previously served as deputy mayor to former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
In the August primary, Duggan trounced his nine challengers with 72% of the vote.
Duggan is the first mayor since Coleman A. Young to win three terms.

Issues with Chattanooga Drug Possession Cases
If you are facing a drug possession charge, retaining a seasoned lawyer is almost necessary if you wish to reach a favorable outcome. Depending on the circumstances of your arrest, an attorney could investigate and determine if there were any illegal searches. These issues with Chattanooga drug possession cases could work in your favor because the burden of proof lies with the prosecution. If they are unable to use illegally seized evidence, the case could be dropped. Reach out to an experienced drug possession attorney today to discuss your legal options.
Constitutional Issues Frequently Seen in Chattanooga Drug Possession Cases
The most common constitutional issue that arises in Chattanooga drug possession cases is the Fourth Amendment right to be free from an unreasonable search and seizure of personal property. Most drug cases involve a citizen and police interaction that begins on the road. These traffic stops begin simply enough with a failure to use a turn signal, running a stop sign, or other relative minor infraction. Often, officers in the course of their investigation of the traffic stop either smell or observe that the individual has drugs in the vehicle, or they infer that the individual has consumed drugs.
The individual has the right to refuse an officer's request to search their car and may ask if they are free to go. If the officer decides to search the individual's vehicle without a warrant, they must have probable cause to do so. Probable cause could be as simple as smelling marijuana or observing a bag of suspected narcotics in the vehicle. If the officer does not have probable cause to conduct a warrantless search, the officer would need a search warrant supported by a totality of circumstances, which is nearly impossible to do in the context of a traffic stop. The Supreme Court has identified case law to support the idea that a traffic stop cannot go on for hours while an officer obtains a search warrant, and the individual is free to go if there is insufficient evidence to support an arrest or a probable cause search of their car because they have the right to be free from an unreasonable search and seizure.
Another common context of a drug search and arrest is in the individual's home, and their home affords alleged offenders a much higher level of protection than when they are in their vehicle. An officer simply cannot, without consent, come into one's home without a warrant, absent of extenuating circumstances. It is rare that police are able to successfully conduct a warrantless search of an individual's home and for that search be upheld against a constitutional challenge in court.
Individuals must remember that even if the police do conduct a search of their home, they must refrain from making any admissions or statements against their own interests. That means allowing the officers to do their job, staying quiet, and letting their attorney do their job later by challenging the validity of a warrantless search of their home. Making no admissions or statements other than requesting a lawyer lets the individual's lawyer use their skill set to expertly challenge the constitutionality of the search of their home.
Unconstitutional Searches of Homes and Persons
If a judge agrees with an attorney's argument that a search of a defendant's home was unconstitutional, any evidence discovered during that search, including narcotics, is inadmissible in the case. Anything produced from an unconstitutional search, such as drugs, is often referred to "fruit of the poisonous" tree and is thrown out. If there is no other evidence upon which to support the case, the prosecution has no choice but to dismiss the charges against the individual.
Key Factors and Evidence Chattanooga Attorneys Look For
An experienced attorney searches for evidence regarding the circumstances surrounding the arrest and the facts of the case, such as the alleged offender's location and activities at the time that they encountered police, who searched their property, what was found during that search, and if any other people were present. Attorneys also seek to determine if there was a lawful reason, such as valid prescription, for the alleged offender to possess certain substances. It is vitally important for the individual to disclose as much information as possible to a lawyer regarding the evidence and the situation so that the lawyer is able to give them comprehensive advice at the outset of a drug possession case and fight potential issues with Chattanooga drug possession cases.
Speak to an Attorney Today
With the help of an attorney, you could address the many issues with Chattanooga drug possession cases. This includes filing a motion to suppress any evidence that was gathered while violating your constitutional rights. Do not delay, reach out to an experienced and compassionate attorney today.

We do not want a security door covering our entry door. I was hoping to have a matching opening sidelight or highlight to allow airflow. I have googled a lot of door places and opening side/highlights don't appear to be something readily available. We are thinking of having the PMAD104 hinged 1200x2340 (opening is 1300). Any advice or other ideas?
I know you wont be able to sleep PMAD104 attached http://www.corinthian.com.au/popups/productzoom.php?grp=ext&rnge=pmad&prod=PMAD104. I'm probably leaning toward an opening highlight, same cost do you think?
It will be lowest cost as a separate window above your entry, but how will you open it?
Ed wouldn't that be like an old-fashioned transom (sp) ? My parents have a Victorian era home and they have transoms over their front door and french doors. They both open with a long brass rod thing that you push or pull to open / shut.
We are building a very modern home, can you get winders that come down the wall to a decent height? I'm just pushing the price up again aren't I!
you can get electric winders, but I think it will add maybe $600... There are mechanical ones too that use piano wire... also expensive. I would invest in a pair of steps.
Hi Kyton. A transom is the horizontal bar on a window (the vertical bar is called a mullion).
See I knew that you would know.

Home Other Tech Apps Instagram will soon alert users whose accounts are close to being banned
Instagram will soon alert users whose accounts are close to being banned
Instagram is getting more transparency on its platform.
By Gadget Bridge Bureau
Facebook-owned photo-sharing app Instagram is making its moderation policies a little stronger by adding a new alert. This will notify the users who violate the rules of the platform when their Instagram account is close to being deleted.
The alert will also show users what kind of posts, comments and Stories that Instagram has removed from their accounts in the past, explaining exactly how they violate the rules of the platform. The page says, "If you post something that goes against our guidelines again, your account may be deleted."
The photo-sharing app will also give users a chance to appeal its moderation decisions directly via the alert and they would no longer have to go through its help page. Initially, only a certain type of content (like images removed for nudity) will be able to be appealed at first, however, Instagram will be expanding the options later on.
The change will basically help the users exactly why they are in trouble. So, it should save them from the shock of suddenly finding out that their account has vanished. A number of accounts are deleted from the platform every day because they violate the rules. But then, Instagram, like Facebook, has faced a lot of flak in the past when it comes to removing content especially when it comes to nudity and sexuality. While the update will not decrease the mistakes, it will make it easier for users to appeal to the platform about its decision a little easier.
Besides this Instagram is also giving its moderating team more leeway to ban people who violate its policies. We should mention that Instagram's policy says that it will ban users who post "a certain percentage of violating content." However, now the company will also ban users who violate its policies within a certain time-frame too.
It is worth pointing out that the specifics here are really vague and the company has not offered any clear details. But then, this may make it difficult for a number of problematic accounts to stay on the platform just because of a technicality.
This week, Instagram had also announced that it will be expanding the test of hiding likes from people's posts to six more countries now. For those unaware, at F8 2019, the company had said that it is testing to remove public likes completely from the platform. Till now, the feature was being tested in Canada, but now it has been expanded to more countries.

Oily skin generally has a thicker texture, dilated pores and a dull, greasy and shiny appearance. This is due to excess sebum, which promotes the appearance of skin blemishes such as "blackheads" and "red pimples", especially located on the face's T-zone (forehead, nose, chin).
Hyperseborrhoea: The over production of sebum results from hormonal activity triggered during puberty. The skin becomes oily and shiny. Not only is sebum produced excessively, but also its quality changes: it becomes thicker and tends to clog the pores.
Hyperkeratinisation: the excessive multiplication of skin cells clogs the skin and keeps sebum from evacuating. Comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) appear.
Make sure you cleanse, moisturise and maintain your skin with high tolerance skincare products: soap-free, fragrance-free and preservative-free.
Exfoliate once a week to get rid of dead cells and help your treatment moisturiser do a better job.
Watch out for the sun! It may dry out your spots and hide your blemishes through tanning... But it will amplify your blemishes later by increasing the thickness of your skin, which promotes the retention of cells and sebum in the pilo-sebaceous follicle. This blockage inevitably causes the skin to flare up as soon as your tan fades away. To avoid unpleasant surprises when returning from holidays, choose non-greasy high protection sunscreen.
Acne skin can come with more blemishes and larger lesions.
Another factor comes into action:a bacterium called P.acnes multiplies in the pilo-sebaceous follicle and causes inflammation. The comedone then turn into a painful red pimple.
When acne is more severe, risks of scarring can be foreseen. It may be necessary to visit a dermatologist and undergo medical treatment.
Local or oral dermatological treatments often come with side effects, one of them being a temporary very dry skin. It is then very important to look at complementary skincare tailored to combination or oily skin in order to moisturise your skin and lips.
Seek professional advice. A dermatologist may prescribe you a customised treatment program. Talk to your pharmacist, she/he may recommend you a customised skincare program.
Take your daily treatment as prescribed. The first few days you might feel that the symptoms get worse or see no improvement. It will take a couple of weeks for the treatment to kick in.
Skin is generally a mirror of what we eat: follow a healthy diet and your skin should also thank you for it.
Stay away from too much make-up. Heavy foundation can block the pores and trigger more inflammation. Opt for oil-free textures and products adapted to your skin type.
Avoid too much sun exposure: the sun and acne don't mix. In summer, the sun often improves the skin's appearance: pimples will disappear. However when you are no longer exposed to the sun and stop tanning, the skin becomes thinner, blemishes will reappear: that's what is called the rebound effect.
Do not touch your pimples: they will become more infected and you will increase the risk of developing scars that are hard to get rid of.

Q: How to apply class to a specific cell in a Buefy Table? I would like to know if there is a way in which I can dynamically apply classes targeting a specific cell in a Buefy table. As an example, the following is the code I am working on:
Template:
  <b-table :data="status.peerStatus">
    <template slot-scope="props">
      <b-table-column :class="classObject" v-for="(column, index) in columns" :key="index"
        :label="column.label" :visible="column.visible" :width="200">
        {{ props.row[column.field] }}
      </b-table-column>
    </template>
  </b-table>

Script:
  computed: {
    classObject() {
      return {
        "has-background-info": true
      };
    }

Right now, the whole row is getting highlighted in blue color due the has-background-info being set to true.
What I would like to do, however, is to target only a particular cell and apply class conditionally by passing the value of the cell like so.
Right now, what I am trying is passing the value of the cell to classObject like this
<b-table-column :class="classObject(props.row[column.field])" v-for="(column, index) in columns" :key="index"
And trying to set the class accordingly
 computed: {
    classObject(cellValue) {
      return {
        "has-background-info": cellValue === "YES" ? true : false;
      };
    }

However, the above doe not work. Is there any other way of doing this?

A: You should put it in method instead of computed
methods: {
    classObject(cellValue) {
      return {
        "has-background-info": cellValue === "YES" ? true : false;
      };
    }
}

Pictures of people suspected of being involved in the widespread looting have been posted online in a bid to identify them, as both the police and web users try to fight back against the riots that have swept the capital.
The Metropolitan Police have begun uploading pictures from CCTV cameras to their Flickr account , asking for the public to help them identify the suspects. Currently there are images from West Norwood and Croydon, with the force's official twitter account saying that the images were the 'first of many'.
Each of the images has a timestamp and a reference accompanying it, which the public are asked to quote if they ring up with information.
The Met said: 'If anyone recognises individuals in the photographs or has any information about the violence and disorder that has occurred they should contact the Major Investigation Team on 020 8345 4142.
The Met's move came after at least two websites were set up by others in an attempt to crowdsource the identification of suspected looters.
The Identify The London Rioters site asks for people to browse through images of alleged rioters and looters to say whether or not they know them, and also asks for people to submit their own images of troublemakers.

Departments of Landscape Architecture and Urban and Regional Planning to merge, move to L&S
The CALS-based Department of Landscape Architecture (LA) and the CALS and L&S-housed Department of Urban and Regional Planning (URPL) will merge to form the Department of Planning and Landscape Architecture (DPLA), which will be housed in the College of Letters and Science. The change, approved by campus governance bodies, is effective July 1, 2017.
The new department, as explained in the merger proposal, will bring together dispersed resources to generate new knowledge and provide academic programs around urban and regional sustainability to improve the livability, economic vitality, and health of communities and their surrounding natural environments. It will form a larger, more robust department of 17 faculty with newly shared staff support.
"Having the department in a single college creates efficiencies and provides a solid foundation for long-term planning," says Ken Genskow, who will serve as the new department's first chair. "At the same time, we want our CALS colleagues to know that DPLA faculty and staff look forward to continuing our research and academic collaborations with CALS partners."
The departments' executive committees approved the merger proposal in late 2016. A public hearing, hosted by the CALS Academic Planning Council (APC), was held on Dec. 9. Based on the recommendation of the CALS APC, Dean Kate VandenBosch supported the proposal at the University APC's April meeting, where it received final approval.
Although the merger is effective July 1, several aspects of the change will be phased in, as relocating academic programs, moving faculty and staff offices, and preparing new studio space will take place in stages.
In order to ensure a smooth transition for students, the academic programs will move from CALS to L&S over time, as follows:
Students who are currently enrolled in the undergraduate LA degree program (BSLA), or who are entering the university as undergraduates this fall, will still have the option to complete that degree as CALS students. Students who declare a LA degree after the Fall 2017 semester will do so through L&S and will receive their degrees from that college.
The LA major currently offered under the CALS bachelor of science degree will remain available through CALS to students currently in the major and those who declare the major before the close of the Fall 2017 semester. Effective Spring 2018, admission to this major will be suspended while the new DPLA revises the program to align with L&S curricular requirements.
The graduate programs in LA and URPL will also reside in L&S, and students who began their graduate studies in CALS will have the opportunity to complete as CALS students.
Students and advisors with specific questions should contact either the CALS Office of Academic Affairs (academicaffairs@cals.wisc.edu, 262-3003) or Deborah Griffin in DPLA (dagriffin@wisc.edu, 263-7301).
DPLA will eventually be housed in a single location, but finding and preparing appropriate space for the new unit will take some time. The URPL department is already physically housed in Music Hall, and will remain there for the time being. LA requires significant studio space for its students and currently occupies rooms in Ag Hall and in the Ag Bulletin Building. Given that many of the students enrolled in LA programs will continue to be CALS students for the next few years, it makes sense to maintain this space within CALS while these students are in the college.
URPL has its roots in the Department of Civil Engineering dating back to 1911. It became an L&S department in 1962 and then a joint CALS and L&S department in 1998. LA has been in CALS since its founding in 1964, when it emerged as a stand-alone unit out of the Department of Horticulture.
The LA-URPL merger and move is the next step in the ongoing disciplinary evolution of these departments. Although departments are key building blocks of the university structure and intended to be relatively stable organizational units, these building blocks need to be rearranged periodically, notes Sarah Pfatteicher, CALS Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
"As fields of study change over time, so too do the structures in which they reside," she says. "We wish DPLA well in this next phase of the journey."

Downtown Los Angeles Points of Interest, LA Places
DTLA Attractions: Grand Park
If you have been visiting the sights of downtown Los Angeles, or you want to take in a concert or other performance in DTLA then head on over to Grand Park. The twelve acre park was once the Civic Center and stretches between the Los Angeles City Hall on Spring Street at the east and the Los Angeles Music Center on Grand Avenue at the west.
Artistic Signage at Grand Park
The park has been criticized because it is broken up into thirds by city streets crossing the park. However, I would find it much more objectionable had the flow of traffic in LA's crowded downtown was interrupted. The street crossings break the park into sections that each serve unique functions.
The park provides a convenient space for resting and getting some personal space, picnic lunches and a host of cultural events. These range from projecting art on the buildings at nights, to summer concerts in the park and other performances and events.
I particularly love the west end where the Arthur J Will Memorial Fountain is located. This beautiful, restored historic fountain contains a "splash pad" where you can kick off your shoes and run through the water like a child. At night it is beautifully lit. While it was once a "dancing fountain" such as the famed fountain at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, it is currently set in "static mode" and no longer dances. Hopefully that will be remedied soon. As a note, the fountain actually uses only 20 gallons of water per year!
Events at the park are coordinated by the Los Angeles Music Center, which also oversees the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Ahmanson Theatre, Mark Taper Forum and the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Routine security is provided by the Music Center's security department, and law enforcement services by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. In 2014, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved funding of $1 million for an independent nonprofit group, the Grand Park Foundation.
An ariel view of Grand Park in downtown Los Angeles from the City Hall Building
Nothing is much more fun on a summer night than an outdoor concert in the city. The Music Center recently released park's Days of Summer schedule for free concerts, events, art shows and block parties in the park. For more information, see the Grand Park Event Calendar.
Pubic transportation to the park is available on the Los Angeles Metro Red Line and Purple Line at the Civic Center/Grand Park station and the Silver Line's 1st Street/Hill Street stop or its Spring Street/City Hall stop. Parking is available in Lot 10 with entrances on Broadway and Hill Street between First and Temple Streets (in the middle of the park). Parking in this lot is $3.50 per 15 minutes, or $20.00 maximum per day, and $10.00 per day for weekends, evenings and special events. Parking is also available in Lot 17 at Olive and First Streets (enter from Olive Street). Parking in this lot is $3.50 every 15 minutes until 4:30 p.m., with a maximum of $20. There is a flat fee of $10 after 4:30 p.m., on weekends and for special events. Parking is also available in nearby lots. Rates vary in these lots but generally they are around $11.00 for a full day.
We started this post recommending Grand Park as a place to rest while taking in the sights of downtown Los Angeles or on a walking tour of Downtown LA. If you started at the park and are looking for more to see, we recommend the Walt Disney Concert Hall just down the block on Grand Street. Heading up to the observation deck on the 27th floor of City Hall on the east is a must. It's free and the views are unequaled. The Triforium Sculpture just beyond City Hall is worth a look as is the art deco Los Angeles Times building just to the south. Just a few blocks south, we love Angels Flight and the famous Bradbury Building that has been featured in so many movies is right there. Oh, and while you are at Angels Flight, don't just look at it, ride it to the top for a dollar and check out DTLA's urban oasis, California Plaza.
So there you have it. A few more interesting things to do in Los Angeles for your bucket list.
Kick off your shoes and enjoy the splash pad at the fountain at Grand Park

            //gives me the svg id (Layer_1) not the id of the polygons within the svg tag

        })

Would be very thankful if anyone could please help me out.

A: Your innerSVG is the entire SVG. It doesn't have an ID named "forehead". In your code, this refers to the SVG element.
If you have only one polygon, use this instead:
console.log(d3.select("polygon").attr('id'));

A: I solved it! What i did was i loaded the SVG into this: https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/ and cleaned it up and made sure each  is on a single line.
Then i wrote a script to open this svg file, and reformat all the  lines to JSON.
Code:
OpenFileDialog dlg = new OpenFileDialog();
        dlg.DefaultExt = "*.csv";
        dlg.Filter = "SVG Files (*.svg)|*.svg|All Files (*.*)|*.*";
        DialogResult res = dlg.ShowDialog();
        if (res == DialogResult.OK)
        {
            txtSource.Text = dlg.FileName; //Textbox to show filepath
        }

using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(txtSource.Text.Trim(), Encoding.UTF8))
        {
            string line;
            int ids = 1;
            StringBuilder json = new StringBuilder();
            json.Append("{\"Polygons\": [");

            while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
            {
                string[] s = { };
                string[] t = { };
                string[] v = { };
                StringBuilder test = new StringBuilder();

                try
                {
                    if (line.Trim().StartsWith("<poly"))
                    {
                        s = line.Split(new[] { "points=" }, StringSplitOptions.None);
                        t = s[1].Split('/');
                        string points = t[0].Replace("\"", "").Trim();

                        v = points.Split(' ');
                        foreach (string xy in v)
                        {
                            string[] z = { };
                            z = xy.Split(',');
                            test.Append("{\"x\":" + z[0].ToString() + ", \"y\":" + z[1].ToString() + "},");
                        }

                        //Found the polygon line
                        json.Append("{\"name\": \"polyId_" + ids + "\",");
                        json.Append("\"points\":[");
                        json.Append(test.ToString().TrimEnd(','));
                        json.Append("]},");
                        ids++;
                    }
                }
                catch { json.Append(line + " ERROR <br/>"); }
            }
        }

Then i pasted the output into a .json file and loaded it. Then i adjusted my d3 script to simply get d.name
svg.selectAll("polygon").on("mousemove", function (d) {
                Ctooltip.attr("style", "left:420px;top:0px").html(d.name);
                //console.log(d.name);
            })

So the best way to do this was to avoid using the svg file exported from illustrator but to convert it to json and use that.


This percent of increase calculator will get you the answer for any percent of increase word problems.
For instance, if you are looking for the percent of increase for 10 and 20, enter 10 in the box on the left and 20 in the box on the right.
Just hit the calculate button and you are good to go.
2 × 100 = 200, so the answer is 200%.
