A single-family home in Northern BC was roughly $1.3 million cheaper than a comparable home found in Vancouver in 2017, as housing remained significantly more affordable outside of the country's most expensive housing market.
In fact, the average Northern BC household required only 28.9 per cent of its annual income to cover housing costs compared to 115.7 per cent in Vancouver, according to the BC Northern Real Estate Board (BCNREB) 2017 Housing Affordability report, published this month.
"Historically, the largest contributor to affordability has been house prices, and this trend continues for 2017," reads the report.
Last year, the average price of a single-family home in Northern BC was $290,000. Whereas, in Greater Vancouver, the benchmark price of a detached home was $1,605,800 in December 2017, according to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV).
Northern BC is comprised of the Cariboo, Bulkley Nechako, Fraser Fort George, Skeena Queen Charlotte, Kitimat Stikine, Peace River and Northern Rockies Regional Districts.
BCNREB's Housing Affordability Indicators calculate the proportion of median household income required to cover mortgage costs, municipal taxes and fees and utilities for the average single-family home. As the measure increases, it becomes more difficult to afford a home.
Last year, Mackenzie remained the most affordable community in Northern BC, where homeowners only required 20 per cent of their annual income to cover housing costs.
Following Mackenzie was Kitimat with roughly 21 per cent, Quesnel with 25 per cent and Smithers with 26 per cent.
100 Mile House recorded the worst affordability in 2017 at 36 per cent, a decline of 12.4 percentage points from the previous year.
"In most cases, worsening affordability can be attributed to increases in average house prices," reads the report.
The city of Fort St. John had the highest average single-family home prices in Northern BC last year at roughly $390,000. However, prices continued a downward trend resulting in improved affordability at 27.4 per cent, down 2.7 percentage points from 2016.

Q: SQL Sum Query issue I'm new to SQL Server and struggling with this.
I have two select statements
SELECT
    SUM(Amount) AS "MONDAY"
FROM
    Transaction
WHERE
    Transaction_Date = '2015-12-21 00:00:00.000'

SELECT
    SUM(Amount) AS "TUESDAY"
FROM
    Transaction
WHERE
    Transaction_Date = '2015-12-22 00:00:00.000'

Their result is 2,00,000 and 3,00,000 respectively
I want the output to be shown as two columns
(Column 1 + Monday) and (Column 2 = Tuesday) on SQL Server screen

A: One option is to use conditional aggregation for that:
SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN Transaction_Date = '2015-12-21 00:00:00.000'
           THEN Amount END) AS "MONDAY" ,
       SUM(CASE WHEN Transaction_Date = '2015-12-22 00:00:00.000'
           THEN Amount END) AS "TUESDAY"
FROM Transaction

A: select datepart(dw, transactiondate),
    sum(amount) [sum]
from transaction
where transaction_date between '2015-12-22' and '2015-12-23'
group by datepart(dayofweek, transactiondate)

keep in mind, this is pseudo-code, I'm looking up the "dayofweek" attribute...
Lookup datepart here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174420.aspx

A: I think you need to use MSSQL Pivot function to transform rows into columns.
Check this other question. Maybe this can help you:

I am not advert. I am art.
The Tube. Love it or hate it it's usually the quickest and most efficient way around London. But it's often really rather busy. The entire tube system is festooned with adverts and due to my aversion to having low quality advertisements thrust into my consciousness I thought it only fair if we put up a little something of our own. A little spraypaint and screen-printing later we have 'I am not advert. I am art' and she now proudly rides the tube proclaiming her reason for being. Hopefully it'll stay in place until the adverts are next changed and with any luck will leave a few mystified commuters in it's wake.


An unforgiving season. Before it comes, you'll have learned what I can and can't do. Before winter is here, you'll have joined me. You'll be mine.
This quote is from my current read: The Struggle by L.J. Smith. I am almost done with it and it is getting really interesting. I am super excited to finish it and continue the series!
I've read a few books in this series and enjoyed them. I'm glad you are liking it too. My YA teaser comes from Ash and Quill by Rachel Caine. Happy reading!
Great excerpt! Thanks for sharing, and enjoy. And thanks for visiting my blog.

Jared Leto and company are plugging away at an album we might never hear, in Bigger Than the Sound.
Here is one thing you probably do not know about Jared Leto: He is a hugger.
I discovered this on Monday, when I spent the afternoon with 30 Seconds to Mars at Leto's rather amazing home in Los Angeles and was wrapped in his gentle embrace no less than a dozen times. In the upstairs sitting room, down by the pool, in the control room of his studio ... Leto was there for me, waiting with outstretched arms. Seriously, it was like visiting my grandma, if my grandma A) had a decidedly postmodern interior-design scheme and B) were friends with Kanye West.
To say that it was possibly the most surreal afternoon of my entire career would be an understatement of epic proportions. And that was before Leto sat me down, stared at me with those steely blue eyes of his, patted my knee and presented me with a gift: a box of steel-cut oatmeal (since I had joked in a blog post that he was killing us with all the cupcakes he had been sending to the MTV newsroom). Oh, and he filmed the exchange for a movie he's working on and made me sign a release form.
And this brings me to the point of this week's column: Not only is Jared Leto a tireless hugger and a thoughtful gift giver, he is also totally, completely crazy ... in the best way possible.
Because for the past year, despite the specter of a $30 million lawsuit hanging over his head (the suit was settled hours after this column was filed), Leto has been clocking 18-hour days in a bare-bones-yet-strangely-futuristic studio that he and his 30 Seconds to Mars bandmates — brother Shannon and guitarist Tomo Miličević — built and financed completely out of pocket, working on the ultra-ambitious, decidedly weird follow-up to 30STM's breakthrough 2005 album, A Beautiful Lie.
They brought in Flood (U2, Nine Inch Nails, Killers) to produce and advise them, even designing the studio to his exact specifications. (At one point, while giving me a tour, Leto stopped and pointed at a refrigerator-size synthesizer: "That's the same one [Flood] used on Depeche Mode's Violator," he beamed. "You have to be a scientist to play it.") They had Kanye sing and play on a song. They held an RSVP-only "audio experiment" designed to cull whispers and murmurs and shouts for backing tracks. And they are making (and editing at Leto's house) a film that will document the album's creation.
Until this week's settlement, this was all without the backing of a label — or a firm distribution plan, aside from Leto's steadfast insistence that people will hear the album "even if I have to go door-to-door selling it." This album, with songs that stretch to eight minutes and have the synthesizer overload of Tangerine Dream, is completely self-financed, totally uninfluenced and untouched by anyone outside of Leto's inner circle (and maybe Brandon Flowers). And it is — by Leto and his bandmates' own admission — vastly different from their last album, to the point where fan alienation is a near certainty.
So, basically, Leto has been making what could either be the most ambitious or disastrous album you might never hear. And now he's swallowed his pride and found a way for you to hear it. And he's doing it because he wants to.
And really, shouldn't we have more rock stars like this? Shouldn't every album be a leap of faith, a test of wills, a risk of considerable magnitude? Isn't that how great art is made? Jared Leto gets a lot of crap, but really, he just might be the most driven, focused and downright fearless rock star I've ever met. And his band, much derided and long ignored, are the same way: Down in their studio, while no one was looking, they've been slaving away with no real end in sight, working on a deeply personal, completely unspoiled piece of art. That is brave. That is commendable.
Of course, keep in mind I am basing all of this off a single afternoon I spent with 30STM at Leto's house. I haven't heard a single note of their new album — just listened to them talk about it, watched them run their fingers through their scraggly beards, rub their bloodshot eyes. I have no idea how the album will turn out ... if it ever turns out at all.
But I do know that I wish there were more people like Jared Leto making music these days. We need more certifiable, insanely driven, hyper-focused people to shoulder the load, to take risks and to make art. This is what we should expect from every band we love, yet almost none of them are brave (or crazy) enough to try it.
Jared Leto is. And I can't wait to see how this whole thing turns out. Disaster or triumph, at least he tried. Hard. And hugged even harder.

Беняко́ни () — агрогородок в Вороновском районе Гродненской области Белоруссии. Административный центр Беняконского сельсовета. Население 1319 человек (2004).

География
Агрогородок расположен в 11 км к северу от Вороново, близ северной окраины Беняконей проходит граница с Литвой. Через агрогородок проходит магистраль М11 Лида — Вильнюс, здесь находится пограничный переход и пункт таможенного оформления. Также в агрогородке находится ж/д станция на линии Лида — Вильнюс. В 2004 году Бенякони насчитывали 1319 жителей. Бенякони находятся в пограничной зоне Республики Беларусь, для её посещения необходимо оформить пропуск и уплатить пошлину.

История

Первое письменное упоминание о Беняконях датируется 1529 годом. В 1556 году Бенякони упоминаются как село хозяйского двора «Рудомино», владение великого князя литовского Сигизмунда Августа. Согласно административно-территориальной реформе середины XVI века поселение вошло в состав Лидского повета Виленского воеводства.

В 1634 году здесь был образован католический приход, в то же время на средства тогдашнего владельца Яна Чаплинского здесь был построен деревянный костёл св. Иоанна Крестителя.

В результате третьего раздела Речи Посполитой (1795) Бенякони оказались в составе Российской империи, где стали волостным центром Лидского уезда. В 1897 году село насчитывало 26 дворов, костёл, волостное управление, народное училище, несколько магазинов. В 1900—1906 годах построен новый каменный католический храм св. Иоанна Крестителя в эклектичном стиле. В 1910 году близ села была основана опытная сельскохозяйственная станция Ластовского (действовала до 1959 года, остатки зданий снесены в 2012 году). В первую мировую войну село находилось под немецкой оккупацией.

Согласно Рижскому мирному договору (1921) Бенякони оказалась в составе межвоенной Польской Республики, где стали центром гмины Лидского повета Новогрудского воеводства.

В 1939 году Бенякони вошли в БССР, где стали центром сельсовета Вороновского района. В 1970 году здесь было 502 двора, в 2012 году — 515.

Dialog boxes interrupt users. They force users to respond before further action is taken. This is necessary in some situations.MessageBox.Show is useful if a warning is important or a serious error occurred.
To start, the MessageBox.Show method is a static method, which means you do not need to create a new MessageBox() anywhere in your code. Instead, you can simply type "MessageBox" and press the period, and then select Show.
In this example, the MessageBox.Show method is used in the Form1_Load event handler. To make the Form1_Load event handler, create a new Windows Forms application and double-click on the window in the designer.
In Form1_Load, there are eight calls to the MessageBox.Show method using different overloads. The Form1_Load method is executed immediately after the program starts. When run, the program shows all the dialogs in sequential order.
And:The MessageBox.Show calls above call into different, overloaded implementations of the function based on the parameter lists.
Typing in the options. The easiest way to use MessageBox.Show is to type in "MessageBox", and then press period, and then select Show. Next, Visual Studio shows a popup with the overload list. You can scroll through the overload lists.
Tip:For a parameter such as "MessageBoxButtons", type in "MessageBoxButtons" and press period to see all the options.
Also:You do not need to create a new MessageBoxButtons() object. This is an enum type, not a class.
The order of the parameters in the MessageBox.Show method calls is important. The parameter order gives the compiler the ability to apply overload resolution to call the best method in the method group.
Images:The image at the top of this document shows eight dialog boxes. These correspond to MessageBox.Show calls.
Note:Dialog box  only is shown when you specify certain options on the previous three dialogs. It tests the DialogResult enumeration.
In Windows Forms, DialogResult is not an actual class but is a named constant from an enumeration. This means you cannot create a new DialogResult with the "new" operator. First assign your variable to the result of MessageBox.Show.
Next, type in "==" and Visual Studio will suggest options from the DialogResult enumeration. You can compare DialogResult like you would compare an integral type such as int. You can even use it in a switch.
There are several more overloads of MessageBox.Show that are not shown in this document. They allow you to specify owner windows, which you do not need to do in simple cases. The IWin32Window owner parameter is an interface type.
Interface:An interface in the C# language is a contract that can be used to treat object instances in a more general way.
HelpNavigator parameter. The MessageBox.Show method also has overloads that allow you to specify Help options. In my experience, these options are not used most of the time, so I leave the specifics here up to MSDN.
When designing programs for the end user, it is usually best to make non-critical errors as unobtrusive as possible. The Microsoft User Experience Guidelines provide many tips on dialog boxes.
Well-written, helpful error messages are crucial to a quality user experience. Poorly written error messages result in low product satisfaction, and are a leading cause of avoidable technical support costs. Unnecessary error messages break users' flow.
MessageBox.Show is an effective approach to dialog boxes in Windows Forms. We looked at screenshots of the results of the MessageBox.Show method. We also tested the DialogResult enumeration.
And:There are many options here.
We can choose between many parameters to the static method.
So:The MessageBox.Show method is ideal for many simpler Windows Forms programs with less specific requirements.

Keep hope alive in the Middle East
Help fund the Bible Societies of Iraq, Turkey and Israel.
These Bible Societies in the Middle East are currently struggling to maintain their operational costs and are in danger of closing their offices.
That would be tragic because they remain the vital link to delivering the Word of God to their communities and the hope and transformation it brings.
Their financial hardship is due to Christianity being a minority religion in the region and their inability to do any local fundraising because of this. Although they've always relied on assistance from other Bible Societies such as New Zealand's to continue their Bible mission, the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has made the situation even more challenging.
Will you partner with us as together we support the mission in these countries?
Give the gift of hope today

BIBLE MISSION UPDATES
In Iraq, the situation continues to be challenging. Due to Covid-19, no one was allowed to go to work for six weeks and the border between Kurdistan and the rest of the country was closed from mid-February 2020. The country has had 185,000 confirmed cases and over 6,000 deaths.
For Christians, the situation remains bleak. Few have returned to Mosul even though it was liberated from ISIS in 2017. However, 50 percent of refugees have returned to the Nineveh Plain. Many Christians have taken refuge in the city of Erbil in the Kurdistan region, a relative safe haven for them.
This is where Bible Society maintains one of its two offices, with the other being based in Baghdad to serve the southern part of the country. Theirs is a unique context where they have to maintain two offices, so incurring two high rents and twice the normal operating expenses.
Yet, in spite of these challenges Bible Society is always there in times of crisis for people in Iraq, something which was acknowledged by
Mother Albertine of the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, who invited all of the staff to attend a half day retreat at their monastery in Baghdad to encourage and refresh them.
Click here for Ayman's story
Three years ago Ayman* received a Bible from the Bible Society of Iraq. He became a Christian and began attending a house church. Ayman was eager for others to know Jesus and so he became a Bible Society volunteer helping to distribute Bibles and food packages.
When the Covid-19 pandemic struck and the need grew even greater, Ayman insisted on continuing to assist people in this way. However, even though the Bible Society of Iraq supplies its volunteers with masks, gloves and hygiene items, as the pandemic became worse Ayman contracted the virus while visiting another city.
Unfortunately, Ayman's condition quickly worsened and because the hospitals were already overwhelmed, he couldn't be admitted to one. Sadly, in spite of the prayers of Bible Society staff in Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan he passed away. His wife, son and daughter are now in mourning and in need of your prayers. But they are not alone because Bible Society's trauma healing team is helping them through this difficult time.
This story which, although sad, highlights the situation that many Bible Societies in the Middle East are currently facing.
That's why the three Bible Societies in the Middle East we've pledged to support this year require our assistance now more than ever.
*Name changed for security reasons
In Turkey, Christians make up only 0.1 percent (100,000) out of a Muslim-majority population of 82 million. The Bible Society of Turkey has always relied on Bible Societies from around the world for financial support. During the pandemic, which has seen the country record 252,000 cases and suffer from over 6,000 deaths, it also lost its income from its Bible shop, which had covered some of its daily office expenses.
Fortunately, they already had an online shop, which now really proved its worth with orders coming in online and via the phone, email and social media.
Many of these were from enquirers, who also received some additional gifts with their order to help them engage with the Bible.
One of these was a young woman who had first encountered Bible Society at its stand at the Izmir book fair in 2019. "I came to your stand at the Izmir book fair last year, crying and searching. I was quite emotional when I spoke to your staff member on the stand," she said.
"I'm a writer, too. I gave them my book and they gave me a New Testament! I read it and my world has changed! In November of last year, I came to your stand at the Istanbul book fair. This time I wasn't crying. I was laughing and I took photos with my friends.
"During lockdown I ordered a Bible through your website. I am trying to deepen my knowledge about Christianity. I want to thank you for the two gifts I received. I am attending a church and I am looking forward to being baptised. I am very happy."
Will you partner with us today to help the Turkey Bible Society remain operational during this unprecedented and challenging time?
In northern Israel, the Arab Israeli Bible Society has also had to adapt its ministry in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. The country has experienced over 138,720 cases and 1,050 deaths with varying levels of restrictions and lockdowns depending on the number of cases in local cities.
Based in Nazareth, where Christians are a minority amongst a Muslim-majority, Head of the Bible Society, Dina Katanacho, has seen the pandemic as both a challenge and an opportunity. "His plans are not like ours," says Dina, adding that she and her team prayed together and sought God's voice during the crisis.
They began doing workshops on Zoom. Aware of the fact that many families are struggling with fear and anxiety, they ran workshops on the importance of play for children and demonstrating love to help them overcome these issues. The sessions included biblical, psychological and social material. For families that are unable to get to church, they have encouraged engagement with the Word at home.
This work builds on programmes they provided earlier in the year, which included holding conferences for families and pastors, running workshops in schools on bullying, and the effect of electronic games, and organising a Bible quiz for families.
"The Bible quiz helped me to open the Bible at my house and read it after many years of leaving it closed on the shelf. I regret those years of not reading it. Now I am so thankful for this opportunity to make the Word of God alive again in my heart,' said Ghada, a participant.

Osaka may not be able to hold your attention for very long if you only came for sightseeing but what the city misses in attractions it certainly makes up for in food. Cafes, restaurants, coffee shops are always crowded from opening hours till they close. A Japanese friend who came to visit from Nagoya, was surprised to see the amount of people eating or drinking throughout the day."It's not like that in Nagoya", she told me.
What should one eat then when they visit Osaka.
The good thing about Osaka's food is that it is relatively cheap as you don't necessarily have to dine in a restaurant to experience the food except for Shabu Shabu which you will discover later.Most of the food can be eaten in cheap Tachi nomiya, a place which you don't even have to sit down, you stand up order your food and drink and eat it at the counter.
One of the first questions you will be asked when you come to Osaka is "Have you eaten Takoyaki yet?" Takoyaki is the most famous food in Osaka. It is a small octopus ball cooked in flour and water with a piece of boiled octopus, served with finely chopped spring onions and covered in a flavoursome sauce. They are cooked on a hot plate filled with holes so they come out in a ball like shape. Even though they are small, be warned don't put a full one in your mouth. They are served scolding hot.
Takoyaki's are usually served in 6 or 12 balls depending on the size and price. Expect to pay anywhere from 300-600 yen.
Okonomiyaki is especially enjoyed eating in a large group, so the okonomiyaki can be shared between a group of people. Expect to pay anywhere between 500-800 yen.
Expect to pay 400-600 yen for this dish.
If you are a beer drinker then you will love Kushi Katsu. The small deep fried battered meat and vegetables skewered on bamboo sticks make a great combination with a cold beer.
There are certain sauces, condiments such as spice, salt, tartar for the kushi katsu to be dipped in depending on what has just been skewered. These are to be shared so don't go dipping your kushi katsu into them after you have taken a bite as it is considered bad mannered.
Shabu Shabu is cooked in a nabe (hot pot) and the vegetables and tofu simmer in the boiling water, the meat either thinly sliced beef or pork is quickly dipped into the broth before being pulled out still rare or cooked to how the people prefer. The meat is then dipped in either a citron vinegar soy sauce or in a sesame sauce dip which I prefer.
What food did you eat when you were in Osaka? We would love to hear from you about your dining experience in Osaka.
Stanley is situated on the Southern Peninsula of Hong Kong, a 30 minute scenic coastal ride from Central is a picturesque little village with a broad promenade that you might mistaken for a coastal town overlooking the Mediteranean. The restaurants, cafes, bars that line the promenade are filled with mainly tourists, kicking back having a couple of pints, watching people walk by or chatter with other fellow travelers.
Stanley first served as the provisional administrative for Hong Kong before the settlement of Central and was named after Lord Stanley, a 19th Century British Secretary of State for war and colonies.
Stanley though has more to offer than just a place to have a couple of beers along the promenade and what most of the people actually come here to do is check out the market that caters to tourists. You won't see many locals shopping here because it is cheaper in the other markets but things are still pretty cheap. Prices here seem to have more of a fixed price or only a little discount is given.
To the west of the promenade is the Tin Hau temple. The building is very simple, a plain grey tiled, concrete brick building. The temple was built in 1767 as the goddess of the sea, most fisherman make wishes to protect them from dangerous seas. Inside the altars were rather small, each altar had a Buddha sitting in front of it with a gold face, draped in red traditional cloth, in front of each Buddha were bowls of fruit as offerings made to the God.
Hong Kong once had many Victorian Era buildings but if they were located on prime land they were often demolished. The Murray House which is located next to Tin Hau temple was actually dismantled in 1982 to make way for the Bank of China Tower in Central.
Murray House was finally reassembled during 1998/1999. To make it even more interesting when they finished reassembling the building there were five left over pillars that are now used as an art display. Murray House, now houses restaurants and the maritime museum.
Stanley also has two beaches that are well known for windsurfing and its dragonboat racing, so we spent a few lazy hours on the main beach, relaxing in the mild weather watching the windsurfers.
Stanley does not feel like Hong Kong but for me it was a wonderful place to spend a day and to my surprise was one of the highlights for me. Having said that I'm an Australian who has been living in Japan for 14 years so that western side of Hong Kong, might not be that great for everyone.
Have you been to Stanley? We would love to hear all about it.
Many cities in the world are easily recognisable by their iconic landmarks. Paris has the Eiffel tower, New York has the Statue of Liberty, Sydney has the opera house and to a lesser extent Milan has its Duomo.
For some the Duomo is the only place a tourist might visit before catching the next train out of the city. The Duomo rightfully so should be the number one attraction of the city with its pure white marbled facade and Gothic architecture taking over 600 years to complete. The extravagant spires and sculptures that line the rooftop of the third largest cathedral in the world would be a highlight in any city.
There are other attractions that are worth your time in Milan.
For the art lovers there is the unique opportunity of viewing Da Vinci's masterpiece The Last Supper in the monastery of the Santa Maria Grazie's church. You will have 15 minutes to view the painting with 25 others, giving you a chance to appreciate the work and ask any questions you have to the guide. It is expensive but well worth it. You need to book at least a month in advance as tickets sell quickly. You can't buy tickets at the church but some day tours do include the Last Supper on their itinerary.
The Castello Sforzesco, an immense red castle formerly a Visconti fortress before becoming the home of the Sforza dynasty who ruled Renaissance Milan. The castles defenses were designed by Da Vinci. It is free to walk around the grounds but the castle now holds two museums containing art and another one for musical instruments.
The other gallery worth a look if you still haven't had your fix is the Pinacoteca di Brea which houses Milan's most impressive collection of masters. These museums may not measure up to the museums of Florence and Rome, they are however world class museums in their own rights.
Milan is the home of two teams AC Milan and Inter Milan. The two teams are amongst the most popular teams in the world. They share the same stadium San Siro.The season starts in August and ends in late May. Games are played on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and if you are in Milan during the off season or not over the weekend, you can still take tours of the stadium that includes entrance to the team club rooms.
Milan is notorious with opera and there is probably no better place in the world to see it than at Teatro Alla Scala. Seasons usually run from October to April, with other performances held outdoors in the Summer. Dress appropriately and enjoy the cultural experience amongst the Milanese people or if you don't want to splash out on expensive tickets you could always purchase tickets for standing room only.
What is probably more well known to Milan than the Duomo and even the opera may just be the high end fashion boutiques of the countries leading designers. Places to see the high end fashion strips are the arcade of the Galleria Vittorio Emmanuelle II to the high fashion alleys of the Quadrilaterio D Oro. Fashion weeks are held in January and February as well as June and September.
When on holiday you have to eat and in Milan there are many great dining experiences . Two places not to be missed are the restaurants and bars that line the canal area of Navigli for as little as 9 euro you can enjoy happy hour from 6-9 pm which will get you a drink and all the food you can eat from the counter of anti pasti, bruschetta, cured meats, salads and even seafood, pasta and Milanese cutlets.
The second place and not to be missed is the Peck Emporium which originally opened its doors as a deli in 1883. It has now expanded to a food hall stocked with variations of cheese and cured meats for starters. Other treats include an inquisite array of chocolates, pastries, freshly made gelato, seafood, pate, fruit and vegetables, truffle products, olive oil and balsamic oil.
Hong Kong, a metropolis of 7 million people is one of the most densely populated places in the world but it wasn't always like this 400 million years ago when the lands were formed Hong Kong lay under a cover of shallow water. The earth's crust rose when the volcanoes erupted forming the hilly, mountainous terrain that is now Hong Kong. In fact only 25% of the land is built on due to the terrain. As the land formed rocks and other small specimens fossilized, that were once covered by water Emerging from a narrow tunnel we moved into a forest with trees rising 18 metres high, the place was dark, birds chirping, the roar of a tiger could be heard, the growl of a bear. Did these animals really excist in Hong Kong? I thought putting people's lives in Jeopardy from these dangerous animals.
Well of course they did but not now ,they have been killed or died hundreds of years ago. I just happen to be standing in the second gallery of Hong Kong's Museum of History, established in 1975. A great museum that only gets better as you progress through its history from the formation of its land to the handover of Hong Kong back to China.
When you visit the museum make sure you give yourself plenty of time to cover the 17,500 sqm to take in Hong Kong's broad and dynamic history. Culture plays a big part in the museum with a life size replica of a fishing junk, showing the lifestyle of the fisherman in Hong Kong. The wedding ceremony where the bride is carried around in a cart pulled by people to the huge opera masks and then the housings of Hakka peasants family dwelling, with its sparseness of furniture reflecting the Hakka people's frugal lifestyle.
The next few galleries are the most important historically to Hong Kong covering the Opium wars where Hong Kong and England went to war ending with the signing of the lease to England. The Japanese occupation during the second world war with the gallery designed as an air raid shelter in order to conjure up the atmosphere of war. It took Japan only 18 days of fighting before Hong Kong surrendered on Christmas day in 1941.
The last gallery covers the rapid advances in housing industry, finance and trade reconstruction of Hong Kong's post war and bringing the story to a close with the handover ceremony marking the return of sovereignty to China. The museum is a must see worthy of at least 2 hours. You should visit early in your vacation to Hong Kong to get a better understanding of the country.
Art comes in all different forms, shapes and sizes. What one person thinks is beautiful or great another person thinks is awful, that is the beauty of art in itself. Over the years there have been different forms of art, some have been easily accepted by the public but other forms have been quite controversal.
Street art has been one of those controversial forms and it has come along way since it was first being tagged on the walls of New York in the late 1970's early 80's. Street art swept across the globe appealing to the youth's street subcultures. Melbourne's inner suburbs, trains and tram lines were covered with, back then what was known as graffiti.
Melbourne though was the first to embrace street art, with an enclave of alleys and lanes, the city council set aside for street artists to spray. Hosier Lane is the cities most famous laneway for street art. The lane is wall to wall covered in art. Each day tourists and locals of the city come to see the artists at work spraying their visual creations.
Stencil artists needs the skills of a screen painter and the artistic flare of design. There is nobody better in the field of stencil art than Banksy, an artist from the UK.
The lanes in Melbourne were lucky to have two pieces of his work, unfortunately one was destroyed due to vandals even though it was covered by a perspex screen to prevent it from being destroyed. Vandals poured silver paint over it, then tagged it with words "Banksy wos ere". The other one was when city cleaners accidentally destroyed it when they were removing tagging graffiti.
Street art though is still only tolerated in places which the council allocated and if caught in other alleys or with spray cans, the offenders will be issued a fine of over $20,000 or up to two years in prison.
The city can now add another title to its impressive list as the street art capital of the world.
Lanes found in Melbourne where street art can be seen.
Have you seen the street art in Melbourne. We would love to hear what you thought of it.
The Kannon rises above us, sitting on a lotus leaf with its legs crossed, its arms, not one, not two but 40 arms entwine around one another, holding a variety of tools to remove pain from people and to bring joy to them. The Kannon is flanked on either side by 500 smaller Kannons lined neatly in a row.
An elderly Japanese couple blurt out "dekai" (gigantic) on their first sighting,the Kannon stands at 11 ft tall The kannons are housed in the Sanjusan gendo temple, the largest wooden building in japan, that stretches 118 metres in length.
The original temple was built in 1164 at the request of the retired Emperor Go-shirakawa, after it was burnt to the ground in 1249, it was rebuilt in 1266. The temples name refers to the 33 (sanjusan) bays between the pillars of this long, narrow building.
A famous Japanese sculptor, Taro, who was 82 at the time carved the Kannons along with his trusty apprentices who carved the smaller ones. "Mama,Mamma, look,look it's papa,it's pappa"shrieked a little girl, pointing to a round, faced golden statue, causing her mother to laugh, Japanese like to point out the kannons that resemble family members or friends, you often can hear the laughter of when someone can spot a resemblance.
The temple is also famous for the Toshiya festival, held on January 15th, when archers shoot arrows the length of the hall.
The ceremony dates back to the Edo period when an annual contest was held to see how many arrows could be shot from the southern end to the northern end in 24 hours. The all time record was set in 1686, when an archer successfully landed over 8000 arrows . The participates now are girls dressed elegantly in kimono celebrating their coming of age day.
The temple also comes to life in January for the event known as the Rite of Willow, worshippers are touched on the head with a willow that contains the pain-killer salicin, as well as holy water which has been prayed over for seven days and then is poured over pilgrims, drawing out evil and curing illness.
HIs brother was then appointed leader and he too challenged Musashi for a revenge match, again Musashi arrived late and again the same result for the Yoshioka clan. Yoshioka clan were then led by the yougest son, a 12 year old boy this time Musashi did not arrive late, he arrived early and killed the entire clan including the 12 year old boy.
The temple is a 15 minute walk along shiokoji dori, which is the street outside JR Kyoto station. You can also take bus NO 206 or 208 and get off at Sanjusangendo mae stop.

Panionios had had a water polo team by the period it was based in Smyrna, before 1922. It kept up the team when it moved in Athens but some time later it was dissolved.

However, poor economics cause the section to relegate again to B division. In season 1994-95, Panionios won the championship of A2 Ethniki (second division) and got promoted to A1 Ethniki (first division).
Since 2005, Panionios stars in the championship, finishing in the first places every year.  Soonly it had successes in European competitions.

Roots/folk rock foursome Dawes to play The Howard in Oshkosh
California roots/folk rock band Dawes will return to Oshkosh on Saturday at The Howard. Guitarist/vocalist Taylor Goldsmith chatted with us.
Roots/folk rock foursome Dawes to play The Howard in Oshkosh California roots/folk rock band Dawes will return to Oshkosh on Saturday at The Howard.

California roots/folk rock foursome Dawes features brothers guitarist/vocalist Taylor and drummer Griffin Goldsmith, bassist Wylie Gelber and keyboardist Lee Pardini.
On its sixth studio album, "Passwords" (released in June of 2018), the band has created a signature sound that longtime fans have grown accustomed to.
Plus, re-enlisting producer Jonathan Wilson, who oversaw Dawes' first two albums, only strengthened the familiarity of the band's trademark songwriting and sound.
"I think that Jonathan represents a certain part of our initial DNA and how we discovered ourselves through his guidance and him producing our first two albums," Taylor Goldsmith said during a recent phone interview with the USA TODAY NETWORK. "He's a master at knowing what sounds and arrangements would be appropriate for things. In certain respects, he doesn't comb through every lyric. If we discover something without him saying a word, that's something that really excites him because he's there to kind of put us back on the rail. His biggest priority is to help an artist get the best version of themselves rather than have some very clear stamp of Jonathan on it. But all the work he does has that stamp because that's inevitable."

The overall theme of the album, as well as Goldsmith's lyrical inspiration, came naturally to him. What he wrote about was the sign of the times happening around him.
With "Passwords," Goldsmith stayed open to writing what was relevant to his life.
"I was getting married, Donald Trump was just elected president and this country started changing very quickly from what I've always known it as," Goldsmith said. "I feel like we're not even necessarily aware of how forever changed we are no matter what happens going forward. In that sense, there were things I wanted to explore. There's a responsibility for any writer to express what's been going through their heads, and I feel like to pretend that the political climate wasn't going through my head would be irresponsible. So that stuff all factored in, but there was no agenda. There was no mission statement. I really wanted that to present itself and I could make something of it later."
Since the band's formation in 2009, Goldsmith counts it as a blessing to be in a band with his younger brother Griffin.
"We get along great," Goldsmith said. "Disputes in our band are very minor. We are all aware of the fact that a band can't function unless everybody is connected, everybody's involved, everybody's making sure they're hearing out everyone else. You can't just railroad someone, or else your band is going to break up. So we trust each other a lot, especially my brother and me. We're on the road so much, we travel so much and we're away from our families so much. So to have a little piece of that on tour with me is something that I cherish very much."
On its third and final leg of their "An Evening with Dawes: Passwords Tour," there are no opening acts, and the band will be performing for almost three hours.
Making a stop at The Howard on Saturday night, Goldsmith is excited to return to Oshkosh.
"I don't think we've played that venue, but we played in Oshkosh there before (for a show) that Cory Chisel put together, and it was amazing," Goldsmith said. "We're really excited to get back there because I specifically remember that being a great show. We definitely felt that between Minneapolis, Chicago and even our show in Oshkosh a few years ago, people are willing to enjoy themselves and get on board. We're really lucky that we have great fans on the East Coast, and we're lucky we have great fans on the West Coast, too. But I feel like a lot of these places in the Midwest are more music-centric cities that people even realize."
And Goldsmith promises that Dawes will be unveiling a significant number of new tunes off "Passwords."
"You'll hear about some bands, how it gets tricky for them to figure out how to incorporate new material into their sets with their older material," Goldsmith said. "But Dawes has always been so lucky because we always lean into the newest record. We play more songs off 'Passwords' than any record. I feel like our audience has always been so welcoming to whatever we want to do that if there's a song they've never heard before, they embrace it. We've been starting some shows with 'Living in the Future' and people are really into it."

Rami Elhayek, Rami Elhayek, Peter Jarrett, Amar Sawhney, Sarah Guedez; Sustained release of ovalbumin and IgG from hydrogel depots as surrogate proteins for intravitreal injection. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2013;54(15):1095.
To evaluate the sustained release of ovalbumin (OVA; 45000 g/mol) and rabbit IgG (rIgG; 150000 g/mol) from preformed hydrogel depots with variable degradation times.
: Fine particles of OVA and IgG were formulated with a selection of PEG hydrogels and were cured, dried and cut to form degradable (a, b, c, d) and non-degradable (e) hydrogel depots. The depots were examined in vitro for sustained release under accelerated conditions. Prior to testing, acceleration rate was calculated using degradation profiles of each hydrogel, absent of OVA and IgG, to compare the relative degradation rate between accelerated and real-time conditions, tris buffer saline (TBS) pH8.5 and phosphate buffer saline (PBS) pH7.4, respectively. Acceleration factor was determined to be 16x in TBS compared to PBS. Accelerated OVA and IgG in vitro release was conducted to determine release profiles as a function of the hydrogel degradation over time. Concentration of OVA and rIgG were determined by HPLC.
Release profiles of OVA and rIgG shown in Figure 1 and 2 show the effect of hydrogel degradation time on sustained release of OVA and rIgG. Slow degrading hydrogels release OVA and rIgG over a longer time period than faster degrading hydrogels. Comparison of OVA and rIgG release using the same hydrogels indicate that rIgG is released slower than OVA due the difference in size and molecular weight. In both cases, hydrogels made using non-degradable SGA linkages used as controls reach a maximum release after diffusion of surface and free particles.
Monoclonal antibody fragments and fusion proteins have been designed to inhibit vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) for treatment of posterior segment diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME). Frequent anti-VEGF intravitreal injections have shown to manage the progression of these diseases to prevent further vision loss and in some cases, gain visual acuity. However, frequent intravitreal injections can increase the risk of infection, retinal detachment, and/or hemorrhage. The ability to tailor the release of OVA and rIgG from hydrogel depots for sustained delivery of proteins could provide a technology platform for use with anti-VEGFs to reduce the number of yearly intravitreal injections and potentially reduce the risk of side effects.


So, this is the costume we bought for Jackson. He refused to put the hat or beard on and the outfit didn't mean much without those pieces. Friday afternoon we went on a hunt for a new costume. We came up empty handed at store after store. Going to a Party City the Friday before Halloween is insane by the way. Most costumes seems to be for newborns or ages 3+. Finally, I remembered a winter outfit I bought in an after winter sale last year.
So instead, Jackson was a bear. I think he liked the glow necklaces from Uncle Stephen more than the costume.
For a short while, Jackson had a little bear nose. As soon as he saw it, he started crying. So, the nose didn't last.
Jackson picked up trick or treating very quickly. He learned how to knock on doors and got very confused that we weren't going inside the houses. At each house we'd tell him to him to go to the door. He's go to the car door first. Then, he'd go to the garage door. Finally he'd make it to the front door.
We went to one house where nobody answered. Jackson was so disappointed. Look at that face.
Grandma came to watch Jackson trick or treat for the first time.
Jackson finally found a car door that he was allowed to open. He loves playing in Uncle Stephen's car!
All in all, Jackson had a lot of fun. I think he figured it out and will be very confused when we don't go trick or treating again tomorrow.

A3 - Septic tanks. Mini septic tanks and sewage tanks
1) What is involved ?
It is an individual or family sanitation system which is already a slightly more elaborate in that it allows wastewater to be stored and pretreated thereby providing better hygiene and, if certain precautions are observed, protecting the environment if no public sewerage system is available.
It involves digging a small pit in which a tank is built for storing wastewater and sewage which undergo natural chemical reactions providing a first stage in their sanitation. It receives either only "greywater" (household wastewater or sink water) in which case it is known as a septic tank or mini septic tank according to its capacity, or both "greywater" and "blackwater" (excreta, latrines), in which case it is known as a "sewage tank". Stormwater is prohibited in both cases.
2) Who use this means and since when ?
This technique has been used for a very long time almost everywhere, especially in rural and remote areas, and in countries in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
3) Why ?
The method is relatively simple to implement and can be used everywhere and especially a long way from a sewerage system as it does not require one. It also avoids having to build a sewer system in regions with limited resources.
4) Who is primarily concerned ?
More especially, villages and hamlets located well away from any sewerage system, suburban areas, slums and places where the construction of such a system would be too expensive. Such pits are used primarily to supplement homes. So although the number of beneficiaries is generally quite small, a sewage tank in a village for example can be used as a collective sanitation system (sanitary and sometimes domestic water) for a small school, a community or public toilets.
5) What does this technique involve ? How is it used ?
The process involves pretreating wastewater through a settling tank and anaerobic treatment (in the absence of oxygen).
There are generally two compartments as shown in the following diagram.
In the first case, the solids will accumulate and undergo "digestion" (anaerobic fermentation) which will result in the formation of several gases (CO2, NH4, etc.).
Septic tank discharge system (source : Personal sanitation guide, World Health Organization)
The building of a vent for these gas is strongly recommended (see recommendations section).
The gas bubbles will form a "cap" or crust on the surface with fine solid particles, with the remainder of these particles being deposited at the bottom.
This sludge requires regular emptying (preferably to be done by a professional in view of the risks of infection). The emptying interval depends on the pit volume and use. It should be done as soon as the residual solid sludge reaches 2/3s of the first compartment.
Septic tank schematic diagram (Source : Ministry of the Environment, Agence de l'Eau Rhône Méditerranée Corse -
Rhone Mediterranean Corsica water agency, 1994, Wastewater treatment for isolated mountain sites)
Although the second compartment in the example receives decanted effluents, the water leaving the pit is not, however, sufficiently clean. Indeed, only a pretreatment function has been provided (up to 30% of the carbon pollution can be considered to have been removed) ; pathogens remain, including bacteria, in particular. The discharging of such water into the wild or even into a sewer is thus prohibited in many countries, such as France, because of the numerous problems that this may cause (well pollution, unpleasant smells and corrosion due to the pretreatment undergone in sewers).
In general, if soil conditions are suitable and the water table is far enough away, the water can be discharged into terracotta drains, soakaways, or spillage trenches. For somewhat more difficult cases, sand beds or filter beds can be used. In even more difficult situations, use must be made of true mini sewage treatment plants provided with bacteria filters, for example.
6) Main advantages and drawbacks
a) Advantages
The pit provides effective pretreatment and liquefaction of discharges essential to the water purification phase following on from the pit.
It is relatively inexpensive. It does not create unpleasant smells and prevents flies and mosquitoes
It has a fairly long service life : from 10 to 20 years.
It can be an economical alternative to sewerage systems in some cases.
b) Drawbacks
Septic tanks typically cost more than most individual sanitation systems.
A large quantity of piped water is required (at least thirty litres of water/person/day) to flush toilet waste feeding the pit.
The water leaving the septic tank is not clean. Indeed, this type of structure only provides pretreatment removing very little, if any, pollution. Bacterial pathogens are not destroyed. It therefore needs to be able to be connected to another treatment system (cesspool or better still an infiltration trench in the ground if there is no sewerage system nearby).
Both the construction and the maintenance of septic tanks require specialised labour.
Finally, discharges from septic tanks can cause significant health problems for crop irrigation.
7) Special difficulties and/or precautions to be taken
Many of the problems caused by septic tanks are due to what is often overlooked, namely the treatment of its effluents. The liquid leaving the pit must be admitted into an ancillary structure (bacteria filters, soakaways, infiltration trenches, filter beds, absorbent trays, etc.) for further treatment respectful of public health.
8) Cost
The cost of a system varies accordance to its size and the country :
- in northern hemisphere countries, a complete installation of a sewerage tank can cost from €3000 to €5000.
However, it is possible to find 3m3 reinforced plastic spare parts for septic tanks for self-assembly for about €450 with a prefilter, as well as 220 l grease separators for €180 and 4m perforated drains for €7.
- in southern hemisphere countries, a mini septic tank costs from €150 to €400 and a sewerage tank from €500 to €800
Maintenance and emptying in both cases costs between €5 and €10/year.
9) Comments and recommendations
- The sludge accumulated at the bottom of the tank must be emptied every 2 to 5 years or so for fairly large sewage tanks and every 1 to 2 years for mini septic tanks. This sewage sludge should not be used directly as a fertilizer on food crops, meadows or prairies, or stored near water.
- It is recommended that swill should first be fed through a grease trap which should be cleaned on a regular basis (every 3 to 6 months)
. A septic tank should not be built in a flood zone.
- As fermentation produces gas, a vent (ventilation pipe) is highly recommended. This should preferably be installed on top of the roof of the building so as cause no inconvenience and be topped by a static or wind-powered extractor, to generate a suction effect on the gas.
- To increase the effects of such a facility, it is sometimes suggested that the person benefiting from one should build the first tank themselves with the help of someone else and then help this other person build their own facility.
10) Where to obtain further information ?
a) Websites

Girl's winning Google Doodle shows her dad home from war
May 23, 2013 Faton
Created by 12th grader Sabrina Brady of Sparta, Wisc., "Coming Home" faced great competition in being crowned the 2013 U.S. Doodle 4 Google national winner. Google received more than 130,000 submissions for the contest, which garnered millions of votes. But in the end, Sabrina's drawing clearly moved the voters.
"Sabrina's doodle stood out in the crowd," Google said in its official blog on Wednesday. "It tells the story of her reunion with her father as he returned from an 18 month deployment in Iraq. Her creative use of the Google letters to illustrate this heartfelt moment clearly resonated with voters across the country and all of us at Google."
Beyond seeing her doodle appear on Google's home page, Sabrina will receive a $30,000 college scholarship, a Chromebook computer, and a $50,000 technology grant for her school. She's headed to the Minneapolis College of Art and Design this fall, where Google says "she will continue her artistic pursuits."
Google also singled out four national finalists, each of whom will be given a $5,000 college scholarship. All 50 state winners will be treated to an exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan where their artwork will be on display until July 14.

Home Free College Football Picks 2013 Cal Football Preview Schedule Odds
Cal Football Preview Schedule Odds
2013 California Golden Bears
Schedule and Odds
With a new coach, outlooks tend to be exciting for most teams, but the situation in California might not be one that comes to fruition immediately. New head coach Sonny Dykes, formerly of Louisiana Tech, will try and implement the same offense he had last season that led the nation in scoring. It's easier said than done as the Golden Bears return only Four starters on the offensive end. Still, after scoring a measly 23 points per Game last year and finishing with three wins, improvement shouldn't be too difficult.
Of course, no guarantee Cal will win more than 3 Games this year. One need only look at the odds on their first Game this year, when they host Northwestern. Like home dogs? Cal is an 8 point home underdog on August 31st. Those odds are available at 5 Dimes Sportsbook as of this writing, mid July.
The question remains at quarterback where Dykes said he won't make a decision until the fall. Obviously, without a trusty QB this offense will continue to struggle. It doesn't get any better in the backfield as their top two RBs are dealing with injuries. Brendan Bigelow will be the starter and already said he'd be full strength for the season so that's a good sign, but he only has 50 career carries to his name. Going even further, the offense lost 2012's top wide out Keenan Allen and three of their starting linemen. As said before, this unit has a long way to go before they'll be able to reach the level Dykes will be pleased with and that probably won't be this season.
California's defense, which also struggled last year, will be switching to a 4-3. The key for them to succeed is that the players returning have to transition to the new scheme smoothly. They'll have six starters returning on the defensive end. It doesn't help that they lost their top two cornerbacks and with Games against a lot of big-throwing teams in the Pac-12, that could be a major problem.
2013 California College Football Schedule
Aug. 31 vs. Northwestern
Sept. 7 vs. Portland State
Sept. 14 vs. Ohio State
Sept. 28 at Oregon
Oct. 5 vs. Washington State
Oct. 12 at UCLA
Oct. 19 vs. Oregon State
Oct. 26 at Washington
Nov. 2 vs. Arizona
Nov. 9 vs. USC
Nov. 16 at Colorado
Nov. 23 at Stanford
Let's just say Sonny Dykes has more to worry about than just getting his team together on the field. California's Schedule is one of the more difficult ones in the conference. To start, they get to face two Big Ten teams in Northwestern and Ohio State. While both Games are at home, both opponents are projected to have good seasons, especially the Buckeyes.
To start Conference play, they'll have to travel to Oregon and UCLA in two of the first three weeks. If their road Schedule wasn't hard enough, the Golden Bears get to travel to Stanford to close out the season, a team that could be fighting for the No. 1 spot in the country at that point.
If California wants to finish with more wins than last season, they'll need to win Games over Washington State, Washington and Colorado. Considering two of those Games are on the road, it's going to be tough. With a new coach in a rebuilding season, not a lot should be expected from the Golden Bears.
